New technologies help patients at Warrenton Dermatology ➤ Open house scheduled for April 12 to showcase new platforms

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center will be hosting its spring Open House April 12, welcoming three new techniques to the center.

Karri Mize, Marketing and Client Services at Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center said that the center will be adding hydrafacials, CoolSculpting and microneedling to their repertoire.

“There’s a lot of newer technology,” Mize said. “This spring we’ve added three large scale platforms, because our clientele was asking for it.”

Patients have been requesting

these services for residents of Culpeper and Fauquier counties, and Mize said they started exploring how to bring it to them over the past year. They started rolling them out in January with staff training and now are ready to unveil them to the public during their “ “Are you ready for your close up?” event.

CoolSculpting is non-surgical fat reduction, to contour your body by freezing fat away with no down-time.

It is FDA approved, safe and effective for spot-treating areas where it is difficult to lose weight with diet and exercise.

Tammy Golden, Licensed Master Esthetician and Amy Dvornick, Licensed Esthetician, were both trained extensively by the Allergan Corporation.

“They are looking to look and feel their best,” Mize said. “It starts with how their face looks, but beyond that they want the rest of their appearance to mirror how they feel on the inside.”

CoolSculpting is one of the new techniques being showcased at Warrenton Dermatology April 12.

She said that there are a variety of attachments and handpieces that are used for the treatment, and a cycle usually runs between 35 to 45 minutes, so patients should block off about two hours for treatment.

The Hydrafacial is much more

than just a facial. It is actually a “skin wellness treatment” which corrects, nourishes and protects all skin types - with immediate results, no downtime, and no discomfort. You get the ➤ See Dermatology, Page 4

Culpeper Wellness Foundation hosts seminar on opiod crisis

Culpeper Wellness Foundation hosted a seminar Tuesday evening for Culpeper medical professionals on a balanced approach to pain management and opioids.

Dr. Robert B. Goldstein, associate professor - anesthesiology and pain medicine, Medical Director, Pain Management Center University of Virginia, detailed why opioids have become popular among doctors for pain management, why they are useful and how they should be properly managed to help address the current opioid epidemic the nation faces.

Sharri Landry, President of the Culpeper Wellness Foundation, said that it’s important for the organization to address the epidemic and it was only fitting to bring together medical professionals to discuss how it can be addressed.

“About six months ago, a foundation friend asked the foundation to consider organizing a training for physicians to help reduce the potential for addiction in people being treated for chronic pain,” Landry said. “And our friend offered to fully fund the cost. We need to address the issue of opioid addiction from all directions.”

Goldstein said his goals were to review the principles of pain management, describe how to formulate a pain management plan, discuss opioids, recommend safe practices for prescribing them and then review nonopioid approaches.

“This is a really important topic,” Goldstein said. “I’m not an addictionologist, what I am going to do is give you different options and also tools to have conversations with your patients of some of the things to help educate them along the way and help them understand opioids aren’t the first and

only choice anymore.”

He broke down the characteristics of pain and discussed somatic versus neuropathic pain and how that ties into medication options - which can include opioids. Goldstein talked about the treatment goal of modifying and modulating the nociceptive input in a manner to decrease the perception of the stimulus as painful. Opioids have been a mainstay of practical medicine for 3,000 years but they have a series of adverse effects, which includes tolerance, withdrawal and overdose.

Goldstein talked about the role of Naloxone rescue devices and how they can help in an overdose situation and asked the medical professionals in attendance how many carried Narcan with them, about half in the room raised their hands.

Goldstein continued to talk about best practices, including education about medication disposal, securing medication boxes and PSA strategies.

Goldstein concluded the two-hour presentation talking about a foundation of non-narcotics medications from different classes to help manage pain, how sleep hygiene is critical for pain management success and focusing on function preferably over pain control.

I have wanted to go to Harvard since kindergarten. It’s kind of great because I never had to have that period of time where I was unsure of where I was going. I had decided. The only trouble is, are they going to let me in? Instead of being unsure of where I was going to end up, I gave myself self doubt, because if I didn’t get in I was the only person I could blame. Since kindergarten I have expanded my views, I now look into the other Ivy League schools, and even a few that are not Ivy League. I have memorized many acceptance rates, it’s a pass time and a cool party trick when I recite more than a few. It is a bit weird though because when I go up to talk to my counselor about college, we’re on two different scales. She sees a thirty three percent acceptance rate and gets a bit nervous. I see thirty three percent and giggle because I’ve been living with Harvard’s acceptance rate of five point four percent since elementary school. I understand that five point four sounds terrifyingly low but I have always looked at it this way, five percent is one out of twenty, so I only have to beat out nineteen other applicants and that cannot be that hard right? Thirty three percent is one out of three, I only have to beat two other applicants. The closer I get to college applications, the more I worry. That is natural, at least I hope it is! But, we will all find out in time (in approximately nine months) whether I beat out those nineteen other applicants or if I couldn’t even beat out those two others. Until then, I’ll be showing off my cool party trick!.

Culpeper is full of guardian angels.

On Wednesday, 20 of those - members of the Culpeper Town Police Department were honored for saving lives in 2017.

Of the 20 cases of life saving efforts by the town police in 2017, 19 of them were related to opioid overdoses.

It was a statistic that Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring was well-aware of and one that he started to address during his first visit to Culpeper shortly after his election in 2014. His roundtable discussion with officers from the town police, Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins and neighboring sheriff's highlighted the epidemic the region was facing and helped focus his efforts on getting help for law enforcement who were battling the crisis on the front lines.

One of those tools was the effort to equip officers with naloxone, which played a pivotal role in all of the overdose cases that resulted in life saving efforts.

“It’s your quick responses that saved a life and gave someone in your community a second chance,” Herring said. “To me, it’s incredibly striking that 95 percent of those of you receiving life saving awards tonight, saved a life by administering naloxone to someone in the throes of a heroin or prescription drug overdose.”

Herring said that statistics for 2017 aren’t available yet, but in 2016 1,100 Virginians lost their lives to an opiod overdose.

“The numbers are so large, they don’t even seem real,” Herring said. “I know the faces of this crisis, I know the lives behind these numbers. That’s a thousand families with an empty bedroom upstairs. That’s a thousand families with an empty seat at the dinner table and too many children who are going to grow up without a mother or dad.”

Herring said he’s gotten to know the recovery community and has talked to teenagers who said their best friend has died and they don’t want to follow down the same path. He said that Culpeper was ➤ See Lives, Page 7

➤ Lives, from Page 6 one of the first communities to truly understand the epidemic the commonwealth is facing and helped him shape legislation to stop the influx of heroin into the region.

“My team and I have increased prosecutions about dealers and traffickers to record levels,” Herring said. “We’ve worked more than 110 cases against them involving more than 665 pounds of heroin.”

He admitted this is a problem they aren’t going to arrest their way out of, pointing out that education, prevention and treatment are equally important. Culpeper’s formation of coalitions - such as Living The Dream Foundation, Come As You Are, Team Jordan, The Rusty Bowers Suicide Prevention Coalition and many others - have helped raise awareness of the situation.

Prior to Herring’s speech, Culpeper Police Department Major Chris Settle thanked Novant Health UVA Health Systems Culpeper Medical Center for provided naloxone free of charge. Herring said the expansion of naloxone access and the willingness of men and women like those in the Culpeper Police Department has directly led to the reduction of loss of life.

Culpeper Town Police Chief Chris Jenkins praised the work the community has done to come together to address the issue.

“This crisis will take our entire community and everyone working together where everyone needs to become involved,” Jenkins said. “I can’t say enough about the good work of the coalition groups.

“I’m happy to report, as a community, I believe we’re making progress,” Jenkins said.

Part of that progress comes in saving lives, such as the 18 cases referred to on Wednesday.

“I know no greater gift than one can give, but these officers would humbly say they are just doing their job,” Jenkins said. “I’ve watched the videos from the body cameras and I’ve watched them perform calmly and professionally without hesitation.”

The list of officers who saved lives are: Officer Alfred Cooper Officer Kaitlin Keat Officer Christopher DeJarnette Officer Megan Lombard Deputy Christopher Garcia Officer Matthew Haymaker Officer Daniel McNeill Master Police Officer John Bahl Officer Julia Cole Officer Matthew Satterfield Master Police Officer Michael Eric Grant Detective Austin McNabb Sergeant Wayne Hickman Captain Timothy Chilton Deputy Daniel Adair

Officer John Slaughter Master Police Officer Michael Eugene Grant Officer Anthony Caruso Officer Nolany Overby Officer John Minor Following is a list of some of the instances when officers saved lives. (Editor’s note: Due to the amount of life saving efforts, each separate incident will not be printed.

Some officers participated in multiple live saving efforts, including Kaitlyn Keat and Christopher DeJarnette who were honored four separate times for their efforts. We will try to display as many instances as possible with as many officers as possible. Names of the victims will not be released.)

Jan. 1, 2017 Officer Al Cooper and Officer Kaitlyn Keat Officers Keat and Cooper responded to Belle Court for a CPR in progress call. They were met by a juvenile who took them into a bedroom where they located an unresponsive male. Officer Keat began assessment of the victim and determined that he was in an overdose situation. She began trying to revive the individual while Cooper administered two doses of Narcan and used a breathing bag to aid in expediting the narcan dose into the respiratory system. After the male became responsive it was determined that this was an accidental overdose.

The male was a cancer patient in remission but still used opioids to manage pain. The training of the officers saved this individual while using prescribed medications.

Jan. 23, 2017 Officer Christopher DeJarnette, Officer Megan Lombard and Deputy Christopher Garcia Officers DeJarnette, Lombard and Garcia responded to a call of an unconscious Hispanic male in the 200 block of Chestnut Drive. After assessing the maile, it was determined that he was in an overdose situation. The victim was given two doses of narcan and vital signs were relayed to incoming emergency personnel.

Feb. 14, 2017 Master Police Officer John Bahl and Officer Julia Cole Officers Bahl and Cole responded to Standpipe Road for an overdose. Upon arrival they were met by a distraught female and two children. The female took the officers to her boyfriend who was unresponsive on the bedroom floor. The officers assessed the situation and determined it was a drug overdose. After a dose of narcan, the victim was moved to the bed from the floor and administered another dose of narcan. The scene was further complicated by the children’s confusion, and both officers showed extreme compassion toward the children while handling their duties.

HOME & GARDEN What’s up with spring?

WILD IDEAS

It’s amazing how fast spring can get busy with just a little warm weather and rain. Up here on Oventop Mountain, flowers, fungi and amphibians have been emerging.

Most of Virginia’s earlyblooming native flowers are ephemeral forest dwellers, grabbing sunlight before the trees leaf out, reproducing, then disappearing.

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) — in the poppy family and also known as red Indian paint, red puccoon, redroot, or pauson — started blooming last Wednesday (March 28). Its name comes from its orange-red sap, once used as a dye by Native Americans, according to the Missouri Botanical Garden website (tinyurl.com/wi-bloodroot-dye).

The next day, I could see hundreds of delicate little tulip-like buds, white or pale-pink, rising out of the forest litter, particularly in sunnier places. As with many early bloomers, the bloodroot only

Pam Owen

opens its flowers in sunlight, closing them back up during the night and on overcast days.

The bud of the bloodroot comes up first, on a thin, delicate stem just a few inches long. The deeply lobed basal leaf at that point is tightly wrapped around the stem below the bud. The leaf starts unfurling as the flowers bloom, stretching out to up to eight inches.

Although bloodroot can grow to about eight inches high, up here it’s usually more like three or four inches.

When the buds open, they reveal brightwhite, daisy-like flowers up to about two inches in diameter with eight to 10 petals. In the middle are long yellow stamens.

For every bloodroot I’m seeing, there are at least as many cutleaf toothwort (Dentaria laciniata), with a few buds starting to open to reveal delicate, trumpet-shaped flowers in blue, lavender or even white. The leaves, in subtle dark green tinged with purple, can be easy to miss among the debris on the forest floor. Hepatica (Hepatica nobilis), in similar colors but otherwise quite different than toothwort, are also ➤ See Wild, Page 9

IS

flowering in some spots in the forest, particularly further up the mountain.

Depending on the weather, which has been pretty dry, we should see increasing numbers of spring ephemeral flowers in bloom from now to mid-May. The Virginia Native Plant Society’s Piedmont Chapter hosts wildflower walks throughout the spring, and Shenandoah National Park holds its Wildflower Weekend, which includes wildflower walks and talks, in May. A huge, old tuliptree had come crashing down across the the Spring Road, the trail I walk the most often at home because it’s the only flat one up here. The tree created a mess around my favorite ‘shroom stump, at the end of the trail, making access to it difficult at best. This stump hosts mainly dryad’s saddle (Polyporus squamosus), a huge, beautiful basidiomycete bracket fungus also called pheasant’s back because of its coloring.

The downed tree also effectively blocked off my usual way of accessing a tiny manmade pool above the trail, fed by the spring that gives this trail its name. Climbing over or under the tree’s three trunks, I managed to get close enough to the pool to see several egg clusters of spotted salamanders, and another egg cluster that I couldn’t identify.

While I heard wood frogs calling from the pool the day before — the first wood frogs I’ve heard here all year — the eggs could have been there for some

time, and these didn’t look like wood frog eggs. They were pale brown on top, and wood frog eggs are black on top and white on the bottom. I sent photos of the egg mass to two herpetologists, one of whom thought they were from a wood frog; the other thought they were from a Jefferson salamander.

Identifying amphibian eggs is tough, even for experts, and I’m definitely not one, so who laid them may remain a mystery, unless I can monitor their hatching out and see the larvae. I also sent photos of the tads to the herpetologists. Both thought they were from last year’s breeding, probably of the green frog, or perhaps the American bullfrogs. I spend a lot of time up at the pond and had never heard or seen either, but the tads did resemble some I saw down in the lower ponds late in the summer last year. We definitely have green frogs and bullfrogs down there.

I’m sure my experts are correct, but I’ll try to track the tads’ development to see which species they morph into.

I’ve yet to see wood frog eggs in the upper pond, where dozens of the species congregated to breed last year. But the old concrete trout tank below the dam now also has a couple of clusters of wood frog eggs . . . or at least, I think they are. © 2018 Pam Owen

The Culpeper Persisters hosted "From Selma to Montgomery," March 30, detailing the activism for African Americans to gain the right to vote in the 1960s.

Culpeper Persisters detail history of voting rights activism CONTRIBUTED REPORT

Imagine a world in which all of us knew our history well enough to actually learn from it. The Culpeper Persisters held an informational huddle at the Culpeper library last Saturday, telling a story that seemed to close the 53-year gap between then and now.

The activism to gain the right to vote for African Americans in the early 1960s was largely inspired by students, as is the recent March for Our Lives movement.

Presenters took the audience through the events that took place in and around Selma, Alabama and culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The story included community organizing and activism, beatings, murder and astounding heroism. News coverage of these events galvanized public opinion

and let to Federal Government action.

The 34 attendees at the library followed a time line in history that led up to the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

They viewed the National Park Service documentary, “Never Lose Sight of Freedom.”

The film centers around the period from 1963 to 1965 in and around Selma, Alabama.

It details how the local Dallas County Voters’ League, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and Southern Christian Leadership Council joined forces to change the course of history.

If you would like to learn more about how African Americans secured the right to vote for all of us, the Culpeper Persisters are making this presentation available to community organizations, groups, or schools. If you are interested, contact Ed & Marilyn Dunphy at vadunphy@gmail. com.

VIEWS

How to reduce government waste DR. TOM NEVIASER

Published every Thursday by Rappahannock Media LLC.

We have all heard about 'Government Waste' but never seen anything done about it.

Instead we get omnibus bills that continue to fund agencies and programs that are either ineffective or duplicated.

Here are some ideas that would help our government become more streamlined and efficient: 1. Reduce Improper Payments: In 2011, by its own estimates, the federal government made $115 billion in improper payments. I would suspect it is even higher now.

These are instances where people receive benefits or payments they are not entitled to receive or for which proper documentation hasn't been provided.

2. Reduce Duplication: According to the non-partisan Government Accountability Office, the federal government administers 94 federal initiatives to foster green building; 15 significant financial literacy programs across 13 agencies; 173 STEM education programs across 13 agencies; and 47 job-training programs. Consolidating these programs would improve their effectiveness and save taxpayers

billions of dollars.

3. Reduce Government Waste: The federal government wastes billions of taxpayer dollars every year, including: 4. Eliminate Free Cell Phones: This program cost $2.2 billion in 2013 alone.

5. ObamaCare Promotion: The federal government spent $51.6 million last year promoting ObamaCare and paying public relations firms.

6. IRS TV Studio: The IRS has a full-service TV production studio which costs $4 million annually to operate.

7. Vacation Getaways: The 183 Conferences paid for by federal agencies over the last several years cost taxpayers more per attendee than the infamous October 2010 GSA conference in Las Vegas, NV. 8. Property Maintenance: The federal government spent $1.7 billion in 2010 to maintain property that is not in use or underutilized.

9. EPA Grants to Foreign Countries: The EPA has given more than $100 million in grants to foreign countries over the last ten years.

10. Pay to Play Video Games: The National Science Foundation spent $1.2 million paying seniors to play "World of Warcraft" to study the impact it had on their brain.

11. Smoke Up! The Department of Veterans Affairs spent $47,000 on a cigarette smoking machine that holds up to 40 cigarettes at a time.

12. Reduce Medicaid Loopholes: By reforming the Medicaid provider tax, we could save at least $9.8 billion.

13. Increase Medicare Means Testing for Upper-Income Earners: By asking the upper-income citizens to pay more for Medicare, we could save approximately $20 billion.

14. Make Federal Retirement Match the Private Sector: By updating the federal employee retirement system to more closely track with the private sector, we could save approximately $21 billion.

15. Require the Return of Over payments: By requiring that individuals return over payments for exchange subsidies in ObamaCare, we could save approximately $44 billion.

16. Eliminate Slush Funds: By eliminating the Public Health Slush Fund in ObamaCare, which Democrats have supported reducing, we could save approximately $10 billion.

17. Require Food Stamp Eligibility: While ensuring those who need food stamp support get it, we can save approximately $26 billion by simply requiring recipients prove eligibility.

I would venture to say that most Americans will agree with me, but, for some inexplicable reason, Congress doesn’t want to change anything.

If those who are in office keep the status quo, then WE THE PEOPLE are the ones who must change it by demanding the next people to be elected be committed to addressing our pathologic government overspending!

As a sideline, jail deputies are not patrol deputies. They do not go on the road (they are not certified). The point here is they can’t made into ICE agents. So please stop trying to make this part of the program more than a computer in the jail.

Sheriff Jenkins said there is no major cost to his department. By that he meant no cost for equipment and the office will be in the jail with a locked door so that only those deputies who are trained to use the computer will be using it.

Training is a big part of the

sheriff’s budget. The sheriff’s office uses the state computer system (VCIN) which requires initial training in use of their computer and update classes every two years.

I don’t see where a computer will harm the hispanic community as Sheriff Jenkins has stated in the past there is no profiling being done to any group by deputies.

The computer will only be used when a person is arrested and bought to jail. Sheriff Jenkins says he will be in his office on April 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. to discuss the program with anyone who comes.

How I See It

It's still just a computer

I read in the Star Exponent there is to be a rally in Yowell Meadow Park on April 7 over Sheriff Scott Jenkins getting a federal computer for the jail.

A few months ago when this program first was brought up and people were accusing Sheriff Jenkins of training deputies to be ICE agents (which is still not true). I wrote an article, “It’s a computer.”

Well, nothing has changed with the sheriff’s office since that time.

It still is only a computer and 4 to 6 jail deputies will go to a class to learn the system. (There are 4

CHURCH The tears would flow each time the automobile drove down the long lane from the farm house. The woman sitting on the passenger’s side felt humiliated and beaten as she had to spend time with her overbearing mother-in-law. From the beginning of the marriage when the mother of the groom told the gathered guests that her son was marrying beneath himself, she systematically tried to control the lives of her family. She tried to control their jobs. She tried to control their parenting. She tried to control the grandchildren. Her forceful actions caused resentment,

FAITH IN THE COMMUNITY Pastor Brad Hales

Culpeper Times • April 5-11, 2018

Freedom, not control and at the time of her own husband’s death, not one wanted her to live with them.

Her controlling ways had alienated those that she was supposed to love and nurture.

Control. Some believe it’s their mandate. Some believe they’re called to bring order. Some believe they’re the ones to get things done. But if we’re going around telling others what to do, trying to impose our own wills while not allowing others to express them own selves, then exerting power over another becomes a big, unhealthy problem.

So why? Why do people feel the compulsion to control others and situations? Is there a lack of selfesteem? Do individuals feel out of control in their past or present lives?

Is there a sense of worry that things won’t get done? Or is there a god-like

complex? Incessant control is neither helpful or productive. In James 1:19 it says, “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.”

Control and oppression are not of God! Even though us humans like to be “puppet masters,” that’s not the Lord’s plan for our lives. God first freed us from the control of sin by sending Jesus to be our Savior. In Romans 6:6-7 it is written, “We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

For one who has died has been set free from sin.”

Secondly, because we’ve been freed, we can love and serve other’s in Christ’s name. Galatians 5:13 says, “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”

There will always be those who blatantly or covertly try to control others and events. But that darkness does not represent God. The Lord has ultimately freed us through the shed blood of Jesus himself so we can focus less on self, but more on others. And one of the ways we can do this is through encouragement.

In I Thessalonians 5:11 it is written, “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” And in Hebrews 10:2425 it says, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and

good works, not neglecting to meet together, as it is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”

There are various ways that we can offer this encouragement Maybe it’s through a kind word or an offer of support.

Maybe it’s to recognize the talents in another or to be present in times of hurt and sadness. Maybe it’s through a call, email, text or instant message, or taking the time and praying for others. Encouragement is a powerful tool that has long lasting effects.

I remember a time when I first started at the seminary, and was having a hard time adjusting. Out of the blue came a phone call from my Uncle Gary who encouraged me in my studies and call. Later, he sent me a prayer that meant a great deal to him in his own life. His encouragement lifted me, and set me on a positive course.

Control is indeed fleeting, but freedom is forever. May Jesus break the strongholds of control in our lives, as we bask in his freedom to love and serve others.

He follows orders and does no more than he must do, until he falls in love with Esmeralda.

Jimm Halliday’s costumes reflect French medieval history when the military and the Church had ironhanded control of the peasants, and the gypsies, outside of any law but their own, mix the scraps of their poverty with the colors of their defiance.

What is a ‘sanctuary’? Who is a ‘monster’? Hugo’s masterpiece explores both the heights and depths of human conflict. The musical adaptation brings it into our lives front and center, and reminds us that the centuries may pass swiftly, but human nature changes very little or not at all.

well). The majority of these aged cheeses are not colored in any way.

Like Easter eggs, there are other ways to color cheese.

For instance, rubbing or washing a cheese over time. Monks pioneered this tradition “basting” aging cheeses in beer or apple brandy. Examples include Chimay and Epoisse.

Even so, this method only colors the exterior, like in Murcia al Vino (Drunken goat), where the exterior picks up the wine hue, but the pressed cheese inside remains bright white, like the goat’s milk that it’s made from. Envision this like the Easter egg where the shell is colored but the egg white is not.

Then there is ash. Vegetable or wood ash. It’s different in that it can add color to a cheese, as seen in Morbier, Humbolt Fog or Cherry Glen’s Monocacy Ash. Even though it can color, its primary use is functional. For instance, ash reduces surface acidity to encourage development of a cheese rind. A fun contrast is Valency cheese, where the same cheese can be made with or without ash.

Blindfolded you can tell the ashed cheese is different in taste and not just outward appearance. In case you are wondering, at least in cheese, you don’t taste the ash, just what the ash changes in the cheese.

This said, ash is again, unfortunately, being “judged” by the FDA as a colorant not part of the cheesemaking process. Kow that Vegetable Carbon or Vegetable Black (collectively ash) are approved in Europe and Canada, but not by the United States.

This direction from the FDA is leading cheese importers to raise awareness that ash ripened cheeses are in line to be detained and may disappear altogether.

Get yours now, while you can. Hopefully reason will prevail and the FDA will listen to logic and not be blinded by color.

It is with a heavy heart that the Bluemont Concert Series Board of Directors announces the termination of Bluemont programs and administrative operations, effective June 30, 2018. Following a series of planning sessions over the past 18 months, the Board decided that the non-profit Bluemont Concert Series as currently organized lacked the financial footing to continue.

Since 1976, Bluemont's unique public/private partnership has been a part of the cultural fabric of our 34 Virginia communities. It has presented more than 9,648 cultural programs in local schools, nursing homes, special events and summer concerts to 3.2 million families and visitors. Bluemont's extraordinary cultural legacy was built on the generous support of local government and private donor partners as well as the participating communities it served. We are immensely proud of our history over the past 41 years and treasure the many wonderful memories created by quality entertainment and cultural enrichment that we were so fortunate to present.

In an ongoing attempt to maintain our popular cultural programs, Bluemont has been actively engaged in reactive downsizing for the past 10 years. Traditional funding from state and local government appropriations has been steadily reduced from $263,000 in fy2008 to $59,434 in fy2018.

Bluemont strived to maintain community programs while offsetting the funding deficit each year by cutting costs and seeking other sources of revenue.

While we continue to believe that music and art are critical to a well-rounded education, and vital to our beloved communities, our programs require resources to operate. Despite a storied forty plus year history, and ongoing conscientious budgeting, our resources have been exhausted.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Bluemont Board of Directors has with great reluctance released our award winning Executive Director, Lily Dunning Widman and her staff.

The Board greatly appreciates Ms. Widman's outstanding professional service and we wish her much success in her future endeavors.
