H E A LT H An oncologist’s outlook on today’s treatment options

By Dr. Pranav D. Patel Chief of the department of medicine at Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center Looking back ten years, it’s remarkable how far medicine has come. We’ve seen marked advancements in everything from cardiovascular disease to diabetes management. We have a better grasp on nutrition and exercise as they relate to our overall health. We can more accurately and efficiently diagnose conditions using state-of-the-art technology.

As an oncologist at Novant Health UVA Health System, my focus is on cancer care, and I’m glad to say we’ve come a long way in oncology as well.

Ten years ago, we relied on knowledge of chemotherapy effects on cell division and cancer cell growth, however our treatments did not discriminate against normal cellular function leading to downstream side effects. We relied heavily on chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery to treat cancer. With today's advancements, we focus on genetic, immunologic and biochemical drivers of disease which have allowed the identification of new treatment options.

Immunotherapy Immunotherapy has emerged as an effective treatment that potentially puts less strain on a patient’s body.

It’s become so commonplace that many oncologists consider themselves immunotherapists.

Although the chemotherapy approach remains a mainstay of cancer treatment for certain cancers and clinical settings, additional options have become widely available which make this an exciting time in cancer care.

Instead of cytotoxic drugs — which can effectively kill rapidly growing cancer cells (but also harm healthy,

normal cells) — immunotherapy activates a patient’s own immune system to battle cancer.

The most common form of immunotherapy uses T-cells, which play a critical role in activating and coordinating our bodies’ immune systems, to recognize cancer cells which have evaded detection. Recent discoveries involving the programmed death pathway have led to the discovery of multiple immunotherapy drugs which enable the immune system to recognize previously “hidden” cancer cells.

Additional T-cell mediated approaches include CAR-T cell therapy.

In this approach for certain blood cancers, a patient’s blood is drawn and T-cells are separated out to be genetically engineered to target specific proteins on cancer cells. A disarmed virus is used to make the T-cells produce chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on their surface. The cells are

injected back into a patient’s body to begin targeting the proteins that the body needs to fight.

The T-cells target and highlight cancerous cells that the body fights by kicking multiple elements in the immune system into high gear.

The ability to treat cancer this way is a true testament to how far medicine has come.

Personalized Medicine This advancement in immunotherapy is just one example of how far we’ve come in cancer care.

Providing personalized medicine and adapting treatment plans based on a patients’ genetic makeup, tumor genetics and biology, specific diagnosis and individual needs means providing a more comprehensive personalized approach. Advancements in medicine — along with public awareness of signs and symptoms — have also given us the ability to detect cancers

earlier than ever before and provide interventions at earlier, more curable stages of disease.

For these reasons, it is our hope that in the next decade, chemotherapy may be a historical standard and we might be able to eradicate cancer with immunotherapy or novel oral targeted agents.

People are now living longer even with advanced cancer. What might have been a death sentence ten years ago can now sometimes be treated as a chronic disease rather than a terminal one. My patients are often pleasantly surprised to learn this. There are vastly different options today than a decade ago and I look forward to what the next decade brings.

The Fauquier Bank Celebrates Financial Literacy Month in April

Angie Wince (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.)

As AP tests and finals are approaching, my stress levels are increasing and there is a large chance yours might be too. Whether it is a deadline at work, a doctors appointment, or a final exam, we all experience times where our nerves are shot and we are just holding on my by a thread.

During times like these, its important to buckle down and perserve through the problems we may face- but it is also important to take time to relax, refocus, and recooperate. This week, I want a few helpful tips I’ve found for getting your mind right in the face of stress: Whether you’re working in a timed exam or trying to meet a deadline (you quite willingly procrastinated), follow the 20/20/20 rule for focus.

Every 20 minutes, focus on an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This not only helps strain on your eyes but gives you a moment to collect your thoughts and has been shown to help improve focus.

When you need to get calm and collected quickly, follow the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Closing your eyes, breathe in for four seconds, hold the breath for seven seconds, and breathe out for eight. Take a minute to breathe normally and relax the tension throughout your body and begin the process again. Continue this process as needed and let calmness wash over you. This technique is also used for insomniacs and can be helpful for clearing your mind in any situation.

Lastly, manage your time. It might be something everyone says, but being very precise with when you want to work can help you to focus on the task at hand. Set out manageable time periods for when you will work, and account for breaks as well. Whether you chunk your studying or working time in 30 minute or 3 hour increments, it helps to set small goals within those time periods- or benchmarks for completion. Create a competition with yourself to beat the clock and find which environment best suits your work- is it group study, white noise, music? Whatever it may be, get to work on it! And don’t forget to get moving during the breaks you give yourself. Get your blood flowing and release your pent up energy, so that when you get back, you’ll have your eyes on the prize!

Most importantly, don’t forget to let go a bit and enjoy the things and people you love. We often get too swept up in work to appreciate the little things in life we love.

The Fauquier Bank will join the Virginia Bankers Association, government agencies, educational institutions, trade associations, corporations and sponsors of education programs to promote Financial Literacy Month throughout the month of April.

“The Fauquier Bank is pleased to celebrate Financial Literacy Month.

Financial Literacy is critical and while we recognize April as Financial Literacy Month, the Bank is committed to providing educational opportunities for community members, of all age groups, throughout the year,” says Abbie Ford, VP Director of Retail Banking.

To that end, The Fauquier Bank is sharing tips for different segments of the population each week of Financial Literacy Month. The tips and statistics are available for members of the media to use in their publications at any time during the month; the full list of tips and statistics for each segment can be found here, along with corresponding graphics that are available for download and distribution.

April 15-21 is a focus on adults: As Americans kick off the spring season by cleaning, sorting and tidying up around the house, VBA encourages consumers to add financial organization to their spring cleaning to-do list. Consumers are encouraged to contact their local banker to discuss their finances or for help with any of these financial spring cleaning steps.

April 22-30 is a focus on elder financial exploitation: Each year, older bank customers lose approximately $2.9 billion to fraud, but it is suspected that number is drastically underestimated because only 1 in 44 seniors report financial abuse.

If you would like to schedule an interview with Abbie Ford, VP Director of Retail Banking at The Fauquier Bank, either by phone or in-person, please email abbie.ford@tfb.bank. More information regarding The Fauquier Bank’s financial literacy programs can be found online at www.TFB.bank/ financial-education.

Fitness training meeting special needs ➤ Culpeper Wellness Foundation's Haywood helps keep youth with special needs active

By Amy Wagner Contributing writer Marcus Haywood has a focus to help as many people as best as he can.

A Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Functional Strength Coach and an Exercise Specialist Haywood has a desire to increase fitness opportunities for people with special needs. Having worked at Powell Wellness Center for the past seven years Haywood transitioned to their sister facility, Cul-

peper Sport and Fitness, within the past year and can be found training there most days.

Haywood uses a lot of equipment and body weight for strength movement conditioning including dumbbells, kettle balls, sand bags, resistance bands and tires to name a few.

Prior to working at CSF, Haywood, 33, often worked with the FitScripts program at PWC. Through FitScripts, a physician referred program that teaches appropriate exercises for people with conditions or limitations, Haywood devised an exercise regimen for two kids affected by Autism. Since then Haywood’s heart has grown for the special needs population.

Living the Dream Foundation making an impact in Culpeper

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Living the Dream Foundation’s fourth annual 5K and walk had one mission Saturday - to get the community talking about suicide and drug addiction in the Culpeper area.

The foundation, formed after Ed and Gloria’s son Ben committed suicide April 12, 2015, works to help families not suffer the same grief the Long family went through.

➤ Fitness, from Page 5 work with more clients who have special needs.

Haywood can be found at Culpeper Sport and Fitness most weekdays where once a week he trains with Zach Fry, a fourteen-year-old with Down Syndrome. “He loves to go to Culpeper Sport and Fitness every Wednesday,” said Fry’s mom Betsy. “Marcus and Zach have gotten in a routine. Zach knows he has to work and get it done,” she said.

Ben suffered from substance abuse, becoming addicted to heroin following a work accident, and took his life after thinking there was no way out of his addiction.

Now Ed and Gloria work tirelessly to raise awareness about the issue of suicide in the Culpeper community. On Saturday, more than 100 people turned out to support those suffering from addiction and depression and show them that they are loved and there is help available. ➤ See Dream, Page 7

“There has to be an interest level for them [youth with special needs] to want to do it. There’s a purpose at the end that we’re going to have fun; but we need to work first,” said Haywood who points out that young athletes are his specialty.

Two years ago, Fry, in search of a trainer with a strong personality to stay on top of Zach, sought Haywood and put him in contact with Marky Oliver. Oliver, a personal trainer in Florida, started Specialty Fit, an exercise program held two

to three times a week, for all ages of people with special needs. He also trains Zach’s friend, Christian, who is the same age and has lost forty pounds. The goal is to keep weight off which Fry says is a struggle for many with Down Syndrome. “Tweaking the diet is the hard part,” said Fry. “With Zach, his metabolism is so low I want to get him out and working out.” This is on par with his goals which Fry said are exercise and maintaining weight without it spiking.

“They should have a focus to be active,” said Haywood. “It’s a relationship,” Haywood said recently of his training relationship with Zach.

“He pushes and each time he pushes a little more”. Fry is happy with the progress they have made. “Zach is finally starting to grow. His weight has plateaued, and he has gotten stronger,” she said.

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer A pair of Floyd T. Binns Middle School students blinded the judges with science.

Sixth grader Peter Nenyuk and seventh grader Mahek Patel took top honors at the 38th annual Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair held at the University of Virginia.

Patel took first place in the Physics and Astronomy junior division with her project on surface tension. Nenyuk received the Office of Naval Research Naval Science Award for his project on invisibility devices.

It was the first time students from Floyd T. Binns had competed at the regional level, and they blew away their science teacher with their performances.

Peter Nenyuk, sixth grade “Nicole Harman, over at CMS, has had the science fair for several years and she finally got us involved,” FTB science teacher Deanne Geer said. “(CCPS Superintendent) Dr. (Tony) Brads would like this to be a county-wide participation with the schools following suit. We had judges come in and judge the students projects and then we also had a popular vote and then because our group was so small we were able to take them all to the regional competition.”

Binns sent seven students to the regional fair - where Patel and Nenyuk dazzled the judges with their projects.

Patel’s project on surface tension drew the attention of judges - 12 in total came to visit her as she presented her findings.

“I was comparing the surface tension and how strong liquid was between oil and wa-

ter,” Patel said. “I compared them on top of a penny, drop by drop to see how many drops it could hold. For the water it was an average of 38 drops and for the vegetable oil it was an average of 27 drops.”

Patel said she enjoyed presenting to everyone at the fair, but didn’t think she would finish in first place in her division.

“It was actually very fun, because when I was trying to play with the liquids I found out how different they were and how many different atoms and molecules they had in them,” she said.

“It was really exciting, but I didn’t have much hope in myself because there were 388 people,” Patel said she’s had a love of science since a young age - when she would question everything around her. Her mom bought her a science textbook and she’s been hooked ever since.

“Science is everywhere so I was interested in how things happened,” Patel said. “What excites me is that it just happens by itself.

It’s infinite, it can go on and on forever.”

Her performance the regional science fair also qualified her for the Broadcom Masters, which will take place Oct. 24 in Washington, D.C. Only the top 10 percent in the country qualify for that science fair.

Nenyuk’s project on invisibility devices compared Rochester cloaking devices to mirror cloaking devices.

“I tried to find out which one was better,” Nenyuk said. “A Rochester cloak uses four lenses and uses those lenses to refract light around an object, rendering it invisible from ➤ See Science, Page 9

Annual Wicked Bottom 5k helps raise funds for Lenn Park

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer A wicked 5k this way comes.

The 10th annual Wicked Bottom 5k will be held May 4 at 8:30 a.m. at Lenn Park.

The race serves as a fundraiser for Lenn Park, said Tabitha Riley Programs & Facilities Supervisor for Culpeper County Parks and Recreation.

The course circles the northern side of the park then crosses over to Old House Vineyards, the event co-host, where you will pass rows of vines while following the gravel road.

Runners will then return to Lenn Park where you will journey along the gravel trail that skirts the border of the park property in view of Mountain Run Creek.

“It’s a unique, scenic route where run-

ners follow the course around Old House Vineyards,” Riley said. “Musicians are stationed throughout the course and it’s a easy course for beginners and a fast course for experienced runners.”

Registration for the event is capped at 275 runners and Riley said they have already filled about half of those spots.

Runners over 21 years of age will receive a free wine tasting for May 4 or 5 from Old House Vineyards.

Free Yoga stretching will be offered by Pranapiloga before and after the event and Eastern Virginia Career College will offer a free massage for participants.

To register, visit culpeperrecreation.com.

Registration is $30 prior to April 28 and $35 the day of event if spots are available. A half mile run is also available and the cost is $10 prior to April 28 and $15 the day of the race.

➤ Dream, from Page 5 “It really kind of makes it all worthwhile,” Long said. “You do these things and you try to educate the community and you really wonder sometimes if it’s making any difference. It looks like the community is coming together, the community is talking about it.

There’s hope.”

Long pointed to more options including different rehabilitation services becoming available to residents. His hope is that the conversations they’ve started have helped lead to those options and hopefully more to come.

“The common thought is if you talk about it, somebody is going to do it, that couldn’t be further from the truth,” Long said. “Talking about it is going to basically shed the light on it. The more you can talk about it, the better.”

He’s constantly asked why he and his wife have put their pain and grief front and center with the foundation.

“It didn’t serve any purpose to hide it,” Long said. “I’m not proud of it, but it served no purpose to hide it.”

Alan Rasmussen, Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services prevention specialist, made a point to let residents know they are loved and there is help.

“Events like this are monumental in bringing people together, raising awareness and increasing education,” Rasmussen said.

“They make a significant impact.”

He said that these events also help people - residents who might be afraid otherwise to come forward asking for help.

“These events do bring people out from time to time and sometimes they come looking for someone to share their story or get some help,” Rasmussen said.

HISTORY Returning to school an interesting challenge You will never guess what the most interesting challenge has been in returning to school. I resist telling my friends about the trials and tribulations, the class work, the stress and the amazing things that I am learning.

But I want to! It is just that they are not there with me. They have lots of other things going on and often cannot relate to such an endeavor. I cannot blame them as they did this years ago. Nonetheless, I am loving the opportunity and will impose upon you, my readers, to hear at least a few of the stories.

Not sure I said this before, but my concentration is in Peace and Conflict Studies accompanied by course in Communications. It is turning out to be a great combination. We all can do better at communicating, really, lots better and at

ZANN’S PLACE Zann Nelson

the heart of that is the ability to listen.

I always thought I was a good listener, but not so much. I did acquire some valuable tools and techniques aimed at improving my listening schools when I completed the training as a mediator several years ago. However, I have found it to be inadequate for getting at the heart of a conflict.

Shenandoah University has invited me to give a lecture next week to an upper -level class entitled Race, Racism and Representation. I was elated when the professor suggested the very subject matter that I wanted to discuss: “What can I do for change?”

Changing the world, our community, or our relationships is noble (assuming it is change for the good) but is impossible to accomplish. Unless we first change ourselves!

What? I do not need to change! I do good work, love my neighbor, give to charity, go to church on Sunday. It is everyone else who needs to change/ improve their modus operandi. You are

not wrong but, let me simply share a couple of things to ponder.

Whose voice have you listened to today? Nope, not talking about Celine Dion or John Legend, but thinking more about your child, spouse, coworker or neighbor. In this grand world of commercial bombardments, over stimulation, and bureaucratic gobbledygook as humans we are too often reduced to a number or worse ghosted into non-existence. We have no voice.

Wait, that is not accurate! We all have a voice, but too often no one takes the time to listen. That’s what I mean to say.

Listening is a powerful tool for both the speaker and the listener.

Reflective listening, a term that describes interactive listening and is sure to engage all participants is new to me.

Hopefully, you are thinking I hope she tells us how this works because that is what I am about to do. There are several components to this process, and I will share a few tips.

Put your phone out of sight.

Look at the individual wishing to share their story.

Resist the pull to look about the room, wave at someone else or exhibit some other form of distraction.

Reflect back to them what you are hearing and then ask engaging questions.

Avoid those shut-down statements and queries.

Remember what you want to do is encourage the story with interest, patience and compassion.

You are not tasked with solving a problem (if there is one) you are truly listening, and you may be surprised and even empowered yourself by what you learn when you hear their voice.

Whose voice have I listened to today?

Until next week, be well.

Mahek Patel shows off her project that won first place in the Physics and Astronomy junior division at the 38th annual Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair held at the University of Virginia. ➤ Science, from Page 6 a certain perspective.

A mirror cloak uses two sets of two mirrors to reflect the light around a certain object, placed in a certain position. If you look at it from an angle the object appears to be invisible.”

He explained the Rochester cloak is named because it was originally made by researchers at Rochester University. The mirror cloak is a trick magicians have used for years, he said.

“I thought it was interesting since I found this article online,” Nenyuk said. “It had a bunch of these diagrams and there was an image of the researcher putting his head into the cloaking device and that part of his head was invisible.”

Nenyuk said he too has been interested in science since an early

age, but he’s more interested in inventions and how they can help the human race.

“It’s really interesting how you can use your knowledge about science to make new and fascinating inventions,” Nenyuk said. “All inventions were made have a purpose to help people and I thought it would be interesting to make something myself.”

Geer said the students should be commended for their hard work and dedication.

“I’m so proud of these kids,” Geer said. “They did most of this work at home and we helped to guide them by helping with their hypothesis. These kids did the work themselves.”

She thanked Harmon and Binns’ teachers Kaylee Wells and David Shane for helping contribute to the Blackhawk students being able to go to their first regional science fair.

Long & Foster Real Estate’s spring open house weekend set for April 13-14 Long & Foster Real Estate, will host its annual spring Open House Weekend on April 13 and 14. The event, which takes place in many of the company’s markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, will provide an opportunity for home buyers to explore many properties that are available for sale in their communities.

“At Long & Foster, we’re committed to making sure the process of buying and selling a home is as simple, easy and enjoyable as possible for our customers,” said Gary Scott, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Our open house weekend means that our real estate professionals can do just that—help sellers showcase their homes and help buyers shop for a house while interest rates remain low.”

During Open House Weekend, mortgage consultants from Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC, will be on site at as many Long & Foster open

house locations as possible to answer questions about the mortgage process and pre-qualify interested individuals. Long & Foster Settlement Services and Long & Foster Insurance will also have representatives on hand to help buyers learn about everything from closing on their home to protecting their investment.

“Many buyers were waiting for warmer weather to shop for a home and want to take advantage of the recent dip in mortgage rates,” said Larry “Boomer” Foster, president and chief executive officer of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Open House Weekend allows consumers to learn about their local real estate market, discover what homes are available and become more informed buyers, whether they plan to buy now or just sometime in the future.”

To find open houses in your area, visit LongandFoster.com/openhouses. For more information about buy-

ing, selling and owning a home, visit LongandFoster.com or LongandFoster.com/blog.

Home Prices hike up while sales slow in Fredericksburg area Parts of the Fredericksburg real estate market showed an upward trend in median sale prices throughout the region last month, according to the latest Long & Foster Real Estate Market Minute report. Both Caroline and Culpeper County displayed a 9 percent increase, while Fredericksburg City and Stafford County decreased by 9 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Units sold decreased throughout the region with the exception of Fredericksburg City, which saw a 24 percent increase.

Long & Foster Real Estate’s Market Minute report for the Fredericksburg region includes Fredericksburg City and Spotsylvania, Stafford, Culpeper and Caroline counties.

“The market is actually pretty strong right now. It depends on who you ask and it’s really hyperlocal, but February’s numbers are not surprising for Fredericksburg,” says Larry “Boomer” Foster, president of Long & Foster Real Estate.

Foster discussed why we’re not currently in a housing bubble, stating that what happened back in 2005 was very different. “We had a regulatory environment around mortgages that was so loose anyone could get a mortgage regardless of their ability to pay it back,” he said.

Other factors that led to the bubble were the double-digit appreciation and the incredibly low home affordability index.

Our market is really strong right now with mid-to-low single digits in appreciation and a home affordability index of around 150, as opposed to 2005’s index of 85. Unless something crazy were to happen in the world economy, Foster feels comfortable that we are not moving toward a housing bubble.

For current homebuyers, Foster said many people are not always aware of the myriad of options available for financing. “The biggest deterrent is most people don’t think they have enough money to put down, believing they need a down payment of 20 percent of a home’s price,” he said Foster believes that there will still be some frustrations from the buy-side since, “at most price points you’re going to be in a competitive bid situation.”

He recommends that consumers have correct expectations from the beginning.

“You need to come in not expecting to take the list price and negotiate a huge amount off of it, but come in with a really competitive offer backed by a strong reputable lender,” he said. “Put yourself in a position to actually do that otherwise you’ll be putting offers on a number of different homes before you ultimately find one that you want to live in.”

Festivities start at 8 AM

The Piedmont Area Soap Derby is asking local businesses to join the race in educating Culpeper’s youth.

The Piedmont Corporate Downhill Challenge will be hosted May 4, the same day as the Gravity Racing Team Competition.

The two events work hand-inhand, as the downhill challenge helps fund the GRC. The GRC involves eight of the 10 Culpeper County Public Schools in building and racing a car down the track at Paul Bates Raceway. The project was originally funded by a $25,000 grant by SWIFT and the company has donated another $5,000 this year.

“We thought, we need to combine these,” said Soap Box Region 8 education coordinator Frankie Gilmore. “All the proceeds from the adult 2019_Gnarly_Ad_TIMES.pdf 4/1/19 race help us put more cars 1in the

Both Culpeper Middle School and Floyd T. Binns are participating as are Emerald Hill Elementary School, Pearl Sample Elementary School, Yowell Elementary and Sycamore Park Elementary.

The derby will also be at Sycamore Park’s STEM night on Thursday.

In the past, other localities have participated but Gilmore said they have focused on the Culpeper area to try to get all schools involved.

On the corporate side, Gilmore admits it’s been a challenge to get participants. She hopes that local businesses realize how important it is to reach youth at an early age to get them interested in STEM as it can help fill the workforce with younger students in the future.

“It’s a busy time of year, they’re still trying to pull things together,” Gilmore said. “We’re going to have some teams, but in the fall we had to cancel. We need their support 9:58help AM and to help support our STEM

“Everyone says they don’t have time, but the problem is they don’t have time not to,” Gilmore said.

“Once you let too many opportunities pass, this is our youth we’re talking about. They are getting older and other things are taking place, we need to establish the foundation of the STEM concepts early. We need to get them involved in educational fun.”

The GRC has led some drivers to compete in the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby in June, and she said that every driver that has participated in the school event has expressed their gratitude to be able to go down the hill.

“They’ve had a blast,” Gilmore said. “We’ve had some in the GRC, that because of certain reasons they haven’t been able to be part of the derby in June, but at least they’ve been able to be part of it through the school competition. That in itself just warms our heart. They

wouldn’t have any other opportunity.”

The GRC teaches students basic physics, how mass affects speed, how slope affects the angle of decent and how it all ties into being the fastest down the hill.

“These kids are looking at formulas and problems in the classroom and then they get out here and it clicks,” Gilmore said. You see the light go off for some of them.

That’s what I love about the derby, we’re putting these cars in schools and the kids are working on them and the kids are realizing ‘maybe if we do this,’ and they are jumping in and starting to problem solve. They are asking the derby committee ‘how far can we take this?’”

If a business would be interested in participating or supporting the GRC, contact Gilmore at 540-2721848.

Duff commands respect, a stand that angers his white employers and frightens his father-in-law.

The film was named to the National Film Registry in 1993. 35mm film print preserved by the Library of Congress Film Preservation Lab in 2012 from original elements donated to us by director Michael Roemer. 95 min.

FILM • “M”(Columbia, 1951) Joseph Losey stylishly reinterprets Fritz Lang's disturbing 1931 masterpiece about a child killer whose crimes forge an unlikely alliance between the underworld and police. Although Lang and Thea von Harbou's script remains largely untouched, the shadowy claustrophobia of the first film's German city is replaced by the sun-bleached sidewalks, faded Victorian buildings (including the oft-filmed Bradbury) and underground garages of post-war Los Angeles - the final location being where the murderer (David Wayne) faces the blunt force of a vigilante mob. Ironically, members of the film's left-leaning production team were themselves the target of anti-Communist protests, with the movie picketed and even banned in many cities. Despite this backlash, critics admired the film's realistic locations, with The Hollywood Reporter praising "the unidentified but hugely effective backgrounds of Los Angeles." 35mm film print preserved by the Library of Congress Film Preservation Lab in 2012.

VIEWS Life Lessons and the National Champs Fishburne Military School taught me a few early lessons in Marshall Conner life. It taught me honor, brotherhood, teamwork and resilience. It even managed to teach me algebra.

I recall the school’s commandant, a World War II veteran and former sergeant major in the British Army, staring directly into my rebellious teenage eyes as I stood at attention in front of his desk. He said, “Cadet Conner some of us learn lessons differently. Some of us need the traditional pat on the back to succeed…sometimes we need it a bit lower.”

Four years later, a steely-eyed drill sergeant on a hilltop in Fort Leonard Wood gave me more advice one early morning as I struggled to breech a series of wire obstacles. I was caked in sweat, knees bruised from low crawling, and angry with my squad. Smoke stung our eyes and the mission clock was ticking— the drill sergeant pulled me aside and said, “Soldier…NOTHING

THE MARSHALL PLAN

worth earning in this world comes easy. If it was-- everyone would be a combat engineer…right? Now get through that obstacle or leave a pretty streak of blood. It’s time to be a soldier.”

Outside the uniformed world it only gets more complicated. There are plenty of different obstacles like bad bosses, low salaries, lay-offs, car problems, debt and politics. Each day you try to have more wins than losses as you roll through the old “To Do” list.

One must power through the doubters, the lazy, and the indifferent ones that complicate things.

Sometimes the greatest doubts reside in your own head---those are the toughest ones.

On Monday night I saw resilience, redemption and resolve as the final seconds ticked away in the NCAA Tournament’s championship game between the University of Virginia and Texas Tech.

I focused on the eyes of the Cavaliers. I saw pride. I saw relief.

There was satisfaction in a goal achieved following a haunting loss the previous year.

The National Champions had

suffered a historic defeat oneyear-ago when a 16-seed toppled their lofty dreams. In defeat, the Cavs had to look in the mirror and rededicate themselves to their dream.

The tournament landscape is littered with shooting stars, busted brackets, missed three-pointers, and fleeting glory.

I thought of examples in history and poetry. I recall our nation’s first president General George Washington suffered a defeat in his first military engagement as an officer in the French and Indian War. I thought about lines from Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If.” The entire poem fits the discussion, but certain lines seem to apply well to the newly crowned champs.

“If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same.”

This one captures the feeling of loss and the will to start again.

“Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools.”

This line urges you to fight on.

“If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: Hold on!”

As a Virginia Tech alum, I hated to admit it, but my old sportswriter eyes told me this Virginia team was special all year.

They had all the elements, team work, clutch-shooting, brilliant role players, intelligence, discipline and exceptional coaching. The Cavs are a beacon of hope for college sports.

The Cavs stand in stark contrast to a prevailing culture of quit— that metastasizes from the idea that everyone deserves a trophy.

They learned from their losses and hardened their will to improve.

They earned their trophy and my respect.

We hear it all too often in all levels of sports and politics… lose and it’s the referee, a cheat, or a conspiracy. Be brave enough to look inward and then come back tougher. Young athletes, leaders and everyone else should emulate the drive and resolve shown by Virginia’s national champs.

Ready, set, go! Preparing for the spring running season HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Spring has arrived. Thank goodness for longer days and warmer temperatures.

It’s amazing what a little warm weather and sunshine can do to lift your spirits.

Spring also kicks off the racing season for runners and walkers.

Our local athletes are fortunate to have slews of nearby 5k races to join, many that also raise funds to benefit causes important to our community. In addition to that our local races offer spectacular views, tours of wineries, post-race wine tastings, yoga classes and more.

Last Thanksgiving my daughter visited from New York City and ran in the 1st annual Turkey Trot

Shari Landry

at Powell Wellness Center. It was a great event and I was so proud of her for rising to the challenge as running isn’t something she does very often. Caught up in the moment, I promised her that I’d run with her in 2019. I’m not quite sure what I was thinking as I’ve never been a runner. Maybe she’ll forget…

Just in case she doesn’t I asked Sarah Mahoney, a personal trainer and fitness instructor, for some advice for first time race participants like me. She suggested, “First, check with your doctor to make sure you don’t have any health issues that would prohibit participation. Depending on your level of fitness and your race goals, give yourself at least 6-10 weeks to get race-ready, whether you plan on running or walking the race.” Sarah also shared the following tips for a great

5k experience: Assemble a support team.

Consider partnering with friends or a personal trainer to make your experience less intimidating and more rewarding. Any beginner is likely to have doubts and a support team can provide encouragement and hold you accountable as you prepare for the race.

Plan your training. If you’d like to run the race, start by walking briskly for 30 minutes several times a week. Then progress to run/ walking combinations; for example, walk 3 minutes and run 1 minute several times for a total of 30 minutes. Gradually run more, and walk less, until you can run longer than you are walking. Walk briskly but run at an easy pace. When you feel stronger and more comfortable, slowly increase your running speed.

If your preference is to walk the race, you can choose to follow a

similar training routine, gradually adding to the length of time you walk. Start with 10, 20, or 30 minutes of walking depending on your fitness level and gradually add more time. You might also alternate brisk walking with easy walking. Continue to add time until you can walk for about an hour (approximately how long it takes most people to walk a 5K at 20 minutes per mile).

Try not to overdo it. Don’t do too much, too soon – that’s the main reason people either quit training altogether or get injured. Slow and steady wins the race!

Enjoy the benefits. Any first steps toward regular physical activity and aerobic exercise reap a host of benefits, such as improved heart health, reduced stress, more energy, and a better sense of wellbeing. So, lace up those sneakers and get started!

Life. Hope. Care. Assets.

The Complete Story ESTATE STEWARDSHIP

Prophecy. A word that seems shunned in Katherine Charapich contemporary vernacular. Why? When referenced correctly it is what gives our community the most steadfast, secure foundation known to man, yet not of man. “He is not here . . .” (Matthew 28:6 KJV); a message delivered by an angel whose “countenance was like lightening.” If the story ended there, what would this Easter season look like? “ . . . for He is risen, as He said.” The fulfillment gives us - Life. Hope. Celebration.

In the midst of this season of renewal and restoration, thinking about how many in our older adult community have gone to great lengths year-afteryear to share with many of us the traditions of Easter, I found myself hoping that we give back; that our actions enrich their lives manifold.

How does one accomplish this?

Perhaps helping in the areas of care and assets. What do the two have in common? Everything, as it relates to estate planning.

Recently, I was asked to present during a community gathering, addressing two aspects. The first, being what were the most prevalent challenges faced by most of my clients.

The second, to talk about what the older adult generation contributes to our community.

Admittedly, I struggled as I was challenged to condense the first response into five minutes, and the second response into two minutes, as I was part of a panel of speakers.

Being used to having on average ninety minutes to speak when teaching a seminar, I embraced the challenge of encapsulating estate planning challenges into five minutes by narrowing down the issues into two main categories, care and assets. Estate planning clients are generally dealing with one, if not both, subject matters.

Five minutes to highlight the struggles. What better way to share the urgency of planning ahead than thru a story, emphasizing that planning ahead

is the best approach.

Beginning with the care of a person, picture the older adult who is facing a cognitive challenge, which has robbed her of the ability to make sound decisions, to understand her environment, and is placing her in harm’s way. The same cognitive challenge has aged her physique, making her appear twenty plus years her senior.

No longer able to give agency authority through a power of attorney, the alternative is a petition for guardianship and conservatorship.

The ultimate outcome, the protection of the older adult – maintaining her quality of life and using her assets for her benefit, was affected. However, this was not without the cost of a painful trial, pitting a mother holding tight to conspiracy theories against adult children bearing witness to the public display of irrational behavior and hurtful comments brought on by such a disease. If we had been able to use the least restrictive means of a power of attorney, the matter may have remained private and a level of dignity maintained.

The concept of care segued to assets, with a mere three minutes to go. Control the use of your assets for your care and the distribution of your assets upon your death. Doesn’t all pass to spouse even if I don’t have a last will and testament? Not if you have children outside of your current marital unit. Picture the person who has lived many years in a house with his bride, creating memories that upon her passing he has only those on which to lean. You see, it was her name only that was on the deed, and she passed without a last will and testament – meaning intestate. She had three children outside of that marital unit, and because of the default to the Code of Virginia for an intestate estate, the husband was left owning only one-third of the house and his three step-children owned equal shares of two-thirds. Such a scenario may create quite a painful situation when the husband, who clings to the memories, now does not wholly own the roof over his head, but shares a minor interest with three step-children with whom he never got along, who combined own the majority interest.

The theme communicated − plan in advance. Utilize the documents offered in the Code of Virginia. Protect you.

Control your assets. Memorialize your wishes, your intent.

Having delivered the message under the five-minute wire, I then turned to sharing a response, a compact one nonetheless, about the contribution of older adults to our community. Even though I wanted to say, “we are the community,” and my preference would have been to speak on the subject for hours; however, thankful for the two minutes, I shared from my heart.

The two words that encapsulate the contribution are legacy and stability.

In the hopes of depicting the essence of such a contribution, I shared how I recently met with a gentleman of senior years who was facing the challenges of Parkinson’s. He was experiencing the physical limitations brought on by the disease, and he knew the physical and mental projections that are in store.

Not having either a power of attorney or advance medical directive in place, it was his objective to memorialize his wishes for his care and to give agency authority to another to help make decisions for him when needed.

During our meeting, this precious man looked at me and shared how he would trust his grandson to be his agent under his power of attorney and advance medical directive. That family members were always turning to his grandson for help, which he willingly gave. What he shared next was what I will forever treasure. He stated that he had watched his grandson grow up, and he never thought he would be in a position to think this; however, he thinks so highly of his grandson, his character, the way he helps others, that if he – the grandfather, were a younger man, he would want to grow up to emulate his grandson.

Priceless. A grandfather who mentored his grandson so well and made such an impression, that the grandson now has the skills to help others. Such a contribution by both to the community is a tradition that can be celebrated, giving us all a legacy of hope.

Know your Culpeper County Board of Supervisors VOTER'S GUIDE

In November, citizens of Culpeper County choose which candidates will go to Richmond, Va. to represent them in statewide government.

They will also have a few, possibly even more important, choices to make, as they select the community members who will represent them on the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors.

In this month’s edition of Know Your State and Your Vote’s Weight, readers can learn about how the powers and duties of the board of supervisors impact the Culpeper community.

Rebecca Layne

Budget and Taxes The seven members on the board of supervisors decide where taxpayer money goes. They review and set a budget to manage funds for local projects.

Even though members of the community can appear before the board to ask for funds to be

appropriated for projects and initiatives they want to support in the community or to ask that there be no funding for projects they oppose, the board makes the final decisions on funding. They can decide if additional taxes are needed to make their budget work.

safety, public works, library services, disability services, parks & recreation advisory, and many more.

Culpeper County residents can also apply to be members of many of these committees, and the board then must approve and appoint these citizens.

Land Use and Public Buildings The board is responsible for the adoption of the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

What can be built on a property depends on how it is zoned, for example, the board might need to approve a new gas line or construction of a structure on a certain kind of land.

The board can approve and enforce zoning, among other land use ordinances, or deny permits for certain types of projects. They also oversee the construction and maintenance of county buildings and properties.

Additional Duties Following the Code of Virginia, the board also has oversight in regards to many aspects of local life, such as law enforcement and sanitation.

The members may determine other local policies that need to be addressed. They can also make inquiries into and hold hearings on the conduct of any local officials whether they were appointed or elected.

The board discusses and hears testimony about other issues impacting citizens, such as the opioid epidemic.

Citizens can consult the board’s calendar to see the dates and times of upcoming hearings, some of these are also open for comment or testimony. The board holds regular meetings on the first Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the

Boards and Committees The board of supervisors is responsible for appointing members to various boards and committees.

These committees include public

County Administrative Building located at 302 N Main St. in Culpeper.

The seven members of the board hold a great deal of decision-making and oversight within Culpeper County.

These positions are up for election every two years, with elections being held on oddnumbered years. These oddnumbered years are major determining factors for which direction local governments will take in regard to policy decisions and public resources.

If citizens need to know to which district they belong, they can contact Kim Ellis at (540) 727-3427 ext. 108.

Information about the board members, districts, committees, meeting schedule, and more can be found at https://web. culpepercounty.gov/Government/ BoardofSupervisors.

➤ Curtain Calls, from Page 24 Juke Joint when she executes the night’s bawdiest song, the fabulously lewd “Push Da Button.”

We could not bear a story that was all sorrow, leaving Celie hopeless, and Act II takes us to “African Homeland” with the company to follow the fortunes of a now grown Nettie and the missionary couple who finished raising her. The letter-writing device that Ms. Walker used in the original story is employed here with Nettie and Celie singing their letters to one another from worlds away.

Dynamic characters are always more interesting than static ones, and

Sofia’s showdown with local officialdom crushes the chutzpah and sass that had carried her so far before; nevertheless, that steelbladed character regroups and finally reasserts itself. Celie herself, survivor of unimaginable loss and pain, steps

away at last from that life and finds a new definition of herself as a designer and maker of pants. “Miss Celie’s Pants” sung by Celie and the Women is a joyful celebration of her new life. And Mister undergoes at least as profound a change as Celie in his recognition of the man he has been, the evil he has committed, and the starkness of his need for forgiveness.

designs fill in the precise moods with magical subtlety. Costumes by Kyna Chilcot are colorfully on point, defining the character in the very moment.

The soul of effective art is truth, and this production radiates truth: The artists on stage who embrace these characters; the director who guided them into the heart of every conflict; the music that evokes the very spirit of hope, loss, and love; and the designers who support them all with a unified and seamless vision.

Culpeper County-based online grocer The Fresh Harvest and Powell Wellness Center have partnered to provide area residents with easy access to locally grown food. The Culpeper community can now order from the virtual farmer’s market and pick up orders at Powell Wellness Center, located at 1005 Golf Drive in Culpeper. Fresh Harvest orders can be picked up at Powell every Friday from 4:006:00 pm.

Powell director Eric Good observes that the partnership makes perfect sense. “Supporting The Fresh Harvest’s mission of making local fresh food available in the community complements our role as a medical wellness center. We prioritize prevention, health risk reduction and therapeutic programs for better health. Partnering with The Fresh Harvest is a valued addition to our community health outreach, such as our monthly Health Matters on topics of current interest that is free and open to the public.”

“We are excited to partner with Powell Wellness Center to support its mission to foster health and wellness in the community,” said Fresh Harvest co-founder Matt Coyle. “Powell is an ideal partner because they represent everything that we stand for: family, wellness, and community. The Fresh Harvest’s mission to bring nutritious local food to the community naturally fits with the PWC’s dedi-

cation to community health through recreation and fitness. Our goal is that Culpeper residents will use the Fresh Harvest to find healthy foods they love while supporting local businesses. In addition to the weekly pick-ups, we’re also planning community events that highlight healthy eating and local farming. Ideas include planting a garden at Powell with a local community group and also hosting educational events featuring local farmers.”

Powell Wellness Center is one of only three Medical Fitness Association certified facilities in Virginia and was recognized nationally as the top certified medical fitness center of the year in 2018. A volunteer Medical Advisory Committee guides staff in the development and delivery of medically-integrated fitness programs that help children and adults improve their physical and emotional well-being through health education, regular exercise and increased physical activity. For more information, visit https://powellwellnesscenter.org/ Formed in 2017, the Fresh Harvest serves as a virtual farmers’ market to connect small local producers and consumers. The Fresh Harvest currently serves Culpeper, Warrenton, Charlottesville, and Loudoun County. Visit www.thefreshharvest.com to browse locally-grown foods online, place an order with one click, and select a convenient pick-up or delivery option.

Weekly Tarotscope - April 11 Ace of Pentacles, 6 of Pentacles This week’s message is layered. It’s Cara Cutro obvious that both of these cards can be seen as financially oriented.

Pentacles do often symbolize money matters as well as things that are of value to us and that offer us security. This relates to our physical bodies, our homes, our work. All of the tangible things that make up survival and comfort in this 3-D existence. The Ace of Pentacles heralds a wonderful opportunity or gift, we are given a chance this week to begin something new. This is very promising indeed. This seed of abundance that is represented by the Ace of Pentacles will bear a successful and worthwhile harvest, as long as we are willing to put in the patient care and work required to nurture such a seed into its’ full growth potential.

Coupled with the 6 of Pentacles, there is a need to share the wealth that is brought in by the Ace. This

TAROTSCOPES

could be actual money and physical property, or we can look at this strictly in terms of our energy.

Whatever gifts we are given need to be handled properly in terms of keeping things balanced and fair.

Am I being charitable with my time and my giving? Are things of equal give and take? Even when we are charitable there is a noticeable feeling of being fed energetically by acts of sharing and kindness.

It is important to protect the gifts we have received by sharing them appropriately. Being wise about where we place our money, time, and energy- whether financial or otherwise. All in all, this is a good and prosperous time to be shared.

Cara Cutro is a spirit centered teacher and life coach residing in Sperryville, VA. She is an herbalist, massage therapist, reiki master, intuitive counselor, tarot reader, and the owner of Abracadabra Massage & Wellness and the Wisdomkeepers School.

S AY C H E E S E !

GIRL SCOUT AWARDS: At the recent Girl Scouts of Virginia Skyline Council’s Annual Meeting held on January 26 in Weyers Cave, VA, Pearl Jamison, Charity Revutin, Carrie Waltz and Melissa Washinger were recipients of the top recognitions in Girl Scouting for adults. Pearl Jamison, of Culpeper, received the Appreciation Pin. Charity Revutin, of Culpeper, Carrie Waltz, of Amissville, and Melissa Washinger, of Culpeper, all received the Volunteer of Excellence Awards. Both awards recognize an individual’s exemplary service in support of delivering the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. The Volunteer of Excellence Award honors service at the troop-level, benefiting girls directly, while the Appreciation Pin honors service at the community-level, benefiting multiple troops. Pearl Jamison (TOP LEFT) is a troop leader, service unit team leader and council trainer. As a service unit team leader she works to encourage joint adventures for all leaders in the unit, hosts team building activities and has helped to create events that supports troops and encourages girls to expand their friendships, not just as a troop but as a community. Jamison takes dedication to the highest level and is referred to as the backbone of the Culpeper Service Unit and is well known and looked up to by girls and adults in the area. Charity Revutin (TOP RIGHT) is always willing to help when needed and was a parent volunteer for her daughter’s troop years ago which then turned into leadership of the troop. A few years later she started another troop for her second daughter. Later when the Culpeper Service Unit cookie program manager stepped down Revutin stepped up to fill that vacancy. She has been a troop leader for over nine years and cookie program manager for at least three years in the Culpeper Service Unit. Carrie Waltz (BOTTOM LEFT) is a popular troop leader in Culpeper and gets requests from girls wanting to join her troops. She is currently co-leader of two troops and prior to these troops was leader of two other troops. In addition, she has been a service unit finance facilitator and event planner for the Culpeper Service Unit for several years. She coordinates the service unit’s annual Operation Christmas Child event in which girls pack over 160 boxes with supplies donated from troops to send to children overseas who are less fortunate. Melissa (Missy) Washinger (BOTTOM RIGHT) is a troop leader, service unit secretary, event planner, and council trainer. She is energetic and always willing to help. When another Brownie troop was needed in her area she formed one and has successfully run an active troop ever since. When the service unit communications facilitator stepped down, Washinger happily filled the position. She became a council trainer to offer training to leaders in Culpeper County and has helped the service unit by attending recruitment events to promote Girl Scouts and increase membership. She organized a successful annual Easter egg hunt for the service unit. The first year, the team filled just under 500 eggs, this past year over 1,400.
