H E A LT H Pamper Me Pink scheduled for Oct. 22 Tuesday, October 22 marks the date for the 14th annual Pamper Me Pink event presented in partnership by Culpeper Medical Center, a facility of Novant Health UVA Health System, and Pepperberries, a Culpeper gift and fashion boutique. The free event is both a social gathering and educational experience, focusing on women’s health and the importance of self-care in the form of regular breast exams and “pampering.”

“It’s so rewarding to see that

Pamper Me Pink, an annual event that has grown to over 500 attendees, started in a space above the Pepperberries store with a group of 25 women,” said Sharon Clark, owner of Pepperberries. “Since then, Pepperberries and Culpeper Medical Center have been partnering together to provide free mammograms for men and women in our community.”

Pamper Me Pink attendees will be treated to an evening of pampering — including chair massages and

A breast health navigator and other women’s health practitioners from the medical center will also be available to speak with attendees about breast health during the event, providing valuable education. To emphasize the importance of breast health screenings, breast-imaging specialists will provide mammograms onsite during the event. The Novant Health UVA Health System mobile mammography unit will be on-site that evening for mammogram appointments. Attendees should call 703-369-8073, option #3, to schedule their visit.

“We look forward to this event every year because we get to witness up close how much it positively impacts the Culpeper community,” said Jeff Hetmanski, president of Culpeper

Medical Center. “Since its inception, the Pamper Me Pink fund has raised over $220,000 and 600 patients have received free mammograms through the fund. We’re incredibly proud of these results and are grateful to those who continue to support this annual initiative.”

Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Pamper Me Pink Mammography Fund, which provides financial assistance to women and men in need of mammograms or follow-up screenings. If you would like to donate to the Pamper Me Pink Mammography Fund, please contact Ashley Carter at 540-829-8828.

“It warms my heart to be able to offer these services to community members in need,” said Clark.

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

COMMUNITY NEWS

Whetzel receives 2019 Outstanding Deputy Award Culpeper County is proud to congratulate Denise Whetzel, Master Chief Deputy Commissioner of the Revenue, on her receipt of the 2019 Margaret Anderson Outstanding Deputy Award, presented to her at the Centennial Conference of the Commissioner of the Revenue Association of Virginia on September 5, 2019.

Whetzel has over 38 years of experience with both public service and banking, most recently the past 10 years with Culpeper County Commissioner of the Revenue.

She has been considered a “go to” person in the Commissioners Association for many years.

Through her own initiative, she has developed a number of tools for discovery, tracking and assessment of property and she unselfishly shares her knowledge, her tools and her helping hand, almost daily, with commissioners and deputies throughout the Commonwealth.

Whetzel has served as Treasurer and Secretary of the Northern Virginia Commissioners of the Revenue Association and as a member of the Association’s Staffing Standards Committee for many years. She has also served as Treasurer for Bright and Associates (County software system) where she was presented with the Contributions and Commitment award in October 2017. Whetzel earned the designation of Master Chief Deputy Commissioner of the Revenue in July of 2012 and in December 2013, she received the prestigious title of Employee of the Year from Culpeper County.

Russell Houck (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.)

I am Russell Houck and I am a member of the Culpeper Youth Mentor Board. When Gary Deal, member of the Board of Supervisors introduced the idea of having a leadership organization for the teens of Culpeper, I decided to volunteer and offer my services. My work as an educator in Culpeper County Public Schools brings with it obvious experience in developing and implementing programs for youth. I also have served on different governing boards and advisory committees over the years working with persons of differing backgrounds and roles within Culpeper to accomplish goals for the betterment of the community.

My vision for Culpeper Youth includes a number of objectives, Primarily, I see Culpeper Youth as a leadership program whereby members learn from experienced adults in various fields the knowledge and skills that make it possible to lead a successful business, non-profit organization, or government agency.

Shadowing business and government leaders, attending local meetings, interviewing professionals, and working alongside adults would be critical functions of the Culpeper Youth.

Secondarily, I see Culpeper Youth as being an organization for advocacy for children and teens in Culpeper. Culpeper Youth should be providing input to Superintendent and School Board on educational programs offered in the schools, participating in public hearings on the county budget focusing on those aspects affecting youth such as the schools, parks and recreation, or economic development. Culpeper Youth should be lobbying our elected state and federal office holders to inform those decision-makers on policies directly affecting young people.

As a Culpeper Youth Mentor Board member it my intent to provide Culpeper Youth with the guidance and mentoring necessary to enable the organization to achieve these worthy objectives.

The Commissioners of the Revenue Association of Virginia was formed in 1919 with the goal of promoting a common understanding of the problems surrounding assessment of taxes and revenue laws. Whetzel was nominated by Culpeper County Commissioner of the Revenue Terry Yowell, who accredited Whetzel for being one of the smartest and most talented people she has ever worked with and for being well respected by both deputies and commissioners throughout the Commonwealth.

Event showcases world cultures in Culpeper A sampling of world cultures with local connections will be showcased for the public at the Culpeper Celebrates Unity program on October 24 at 7:00 p.m. at A. G. Richardson Elementary School.

“Culpeper is blessed with an amazing richness of people representing cultures from around the world. We want to learn about and better appreciate our

3

friends and neighbors at this event,” says organizer Joan McBride.

Featured will be singing, dancing, instrumental performances, and stories and traditions from Africa, Europe, South America, the Middle East, and the Far East, plus some home-grown American offerings.

“Presenters of all ages enrich the experience, as we discovered from a similar event offered previously,” according to McBride, who plans to make the program a yearly event.

The event is sponsored by the Culpeper and Piedmont members of the Baha’i Faith, the second-most widespread world religion. Only Christianity Is found in more countries and territories.

The event will not be a religious service, but rather a celebration of our world family, McBride says, commemorating 200 years since the birth of one of the divine messengers sent to establish the Baha’i’ Faith, with its central teaching of the oneness of humanity. There will be no admission charge, and no donations will be solicited or accepted.

The public is warmly invited and refreshments will be served.

For information, call 540-812-2670

LOCAL NEWS Charters of Freedom monument looking for donors

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Charters of Freedom monument at Yowell Meadow Park is gaining traction.

Originally conceived in late 2016 by the Sons of the American Revolution, the monument has evolved into a two-pronged approach - using a granite monument from the SAR and the Charters of Freedom display that is growing across the nation.

The donation of the monument to the town was approved by Town Council in January of this year, after it had originally come to the public safety/public works planning and community development committee in September of 2017, said town councilman and SAR member Keith Price. At that time, the monument consisted just of the granite boulder, but council requested more elements

be added to the monument -and that’s when Price learned about the Charters of Freedom.

“I realized the Charters of Freedom display that I saw at our courthouse in North Carolina, wasn’t just a ‘one off',” Price said.

“My sister mentioned to me they were going to put one in a neighboring community. I then realized it was part of a larger project.”

The Charters of Freedom recreated the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and the Bill of Rights and display them in cases in 26 localities throughout the U.S. The project is growing, as two more will be added by the end of the year and another 27 completed by next year.

The Charters of Freedom Foundation Forward pays for the base cost of the materials, which appealed to the SAR has it would help add the additional elements needed without breaking the

Mike Unruh, Communications and Resources of Charters of Freedom, said the foundation has been impressed by the response of communities adding the display to their areas.

“We’re honored by the level of patriotism across the country, it’s been phenomenal,” Unruh said.

The Culpeper monument would be the first one in Virginia.

Susan Keller has served as director at Culpeper County Library since 1997. Effective this month, she is retiring. The new director, Gregg Grunow, started Oct. 15.

Keller announces retirement from Culpeper County Library

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer “Thank you.”

Through tears, that’s the message Susan Keller has for Culpeper.

The director of Culpeper County Library is retiring this month, stepping down from the position she has held for 22 years.

She came to Culpeper in 1997 - taking over as director when the library was located at 803 S. Main St., now the home of Culpeper County Economic Development.

Under her watch, the library grew moving to its location at 271 Southgate Shopping Center and expanding to 22,000 square feet.

For Keller, it’s time to retire. She’s 62 and her husband Milton Pierce is 63 - he too is retiring from National Geographic.

“One of the things that prompted it too, professionally the Library of Virginia has been plotting how many of us would be leaving,” Keller said. “Even if I wasn’t thinking about it, they were. It’s something you start thinking about, they start talking about succession planning - do you have anybody in mind.”

Leaving Culpeper is hard, she said, fighting back tears.

“This has been the longest place we’ve stayed,” Keller said. “This is the longest we’ve lived in a house.”

She received her bachelor’s degree in library science from Shippensburg University, her master’s from Catholic University and worked in Prince George County, Arundel County, Prince William County and Newport News before coming to Culpeper.

Her replacement, Gregg Grunow, starts Oct. 15 and Keller will be helping with the transition.

Her time in Culpeper When she first started in 1997, the library was just 4,000 square feet. In 1998, the library moved to its current location after a $3 million building project.

“It has grown a lot and some if it is because of me and some of it is because of the community,” Keller said. “It’s going to be a very difficult thing to do (to leave).”

Keller said there were only seven people working at the library when they moved and they now have 12 full time equivalent positions and 22 staff members.

Telling the staff was the hardest part of leaving.

“They started crying,” Keller said, breaking down herself. “That’s probably the worst part. It’s bittersweet. It’s time to let somebody take over the reigns.”

The library has 50 volunteers, going up to 100 in the summer.

“We didn’t even have a volunteer program at the old building,” Keller said.

Keller touted the progress the library has made over the 22 years she’s been in charge.

“We were one of the first libraries to open up with an online presence,” Keller said. “It was really state-of-the-art at the time.”

The library has always been at the forefront of technology, something Keller said that was very important to her.

“Winchester and us were the first libraries in the country to do a consortium with Overdrive,” Keller said. “At that time e-books weren’t even around. Our Friends group was the first to use an interface to buy and sell books on Amazon. For a small library, we’ve done some pretty cool things.”

Culpeper was the first library in the state ➤ See Keller, Page 7

Culpeper Times • Oct. 17-23, 2019

➤ Keller, from Page 6 to offer a local author extravaganza. They also hosted a spoken word event - Culpeper Tells - for several years. Keller has worked with her staff to keep the library relevant despite society turning away from the written word to focus more on technology.

“We tried to do programs the community wanted,” Keller said. “By identifying what the community wants, has helped. We had an Alzheimer’s group bring in Teepa Snow and we did it for $30.”

Focusing on seniors has been one of the library’s main goals - helping them learn computers, research their ancestry and give them volunteer options.

“That’s the group that has the most expendable time,” Keller said. “It’s very difficult to reach (younger families). We also try to do programs for the Young Professionals with the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce.”

Keller has meeting the needs of the community when it comes to technology is one of their main goals as well.

“It’s not as much as it used to be,” Keller said of the demand for computers at the library. “We used to have standing room only when it came to the computers. We kept adding as many as we could. You might find all of them filled occasionally, but not as often. Our hotspots, we have hotspots that you can check out and take to the county, for the first time in two years there’s actually one that doesn’t have a hold on it.”

Keller thanked the community, and the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors, for supporting the library. In 2009, the recession caused the library to cut their Sunday hours, but they were able to weather the storm and added them back in a couple of years later.

“The Board of Supervisors has been very supportive of the library over the years,” Keller said. “When the downturn happened, the bottom fell out for everybody.”

Community involvement Keller has been heavily involved in the community since she came to Culpeper.

➤ Charter, from Page 4 Unruh and the foundation will be fundraising in Culpeper to help fund the project and part of the money raised through donations will be used to provide buses or handicap accessible vans for veterans.

Price said the monument is about a year out from fruition.

“We are looking at a dedication date for next October to tie in with Virginia revolutionary history, the anniversary of the Battle of Hampton,” Price said. “Which gives us the rest of this year, spring and summer to get all the construction details worked out. And to get into the Charters of Freedom’s fast and packed production schedule.”

The total cost of the project is $33,845 with the Sons of the American Revolution paying $16,115. The town will pay $17,730 to pave the nearly 1,500 square foot area - a 30-foot diameter circle - reinforce concrete footers, add access sidewalks and to provide benches and landscaping.

Local News

She’s been a member of the Culpeper Rotary Club, Culpeper Women’s Club and the Culpeper Wellness Foundation.

She’s helped coordinate Camp Fantastic - held at South Wind farm, owned by Marshall and Kacey Jenkins - which hosts children from Special Love. Young cancer patients often point to “farm day” in Culpeper as being one of their favorites. It’s one of Keller’s too.

“I think Camp Fantastic is probably one of them (favorite memories),” Keller said.

“What we do for the kids and what the Jenkins family does for the kids, what the kids do for the community in making us feel like we’ve done something.”

Working with the public in Culpeper also ranks as one of her personal favorite memories.

“The one thing I think I’ve enjoyed the most about here - was I always knew I wanted to be a director, but I got to Newport News sitting on the sixth floor with no public around me - I can interact with the public (here),” Keller said. “I became a public librarian to work with and help the public, I became an administrator to make those things happen.”

What makes Culpeper special?

“The people,” Keller said, breaking into tears again. “I think they are very genuine and very generous. The library opened because of the generosity of the public.”

The next step Keller and her husband have purchased a home in The Villages in Florida. A 55 and above community that is entirely golf court accessible, it’s home to more than 100,000 seniors.

She looks forward to the swimming pools, tennis courts and pickleball and says while she doesn’t play golf now, you never know she might pick it up.

She is looking forward to catching up with one hobby that has eluded her.

“Sitting down with a good book sometimes takes a backseat with the stuff life throws at you,” Keller said. “I have a list of books I want to check out at their library.”

The SAR’s donation will include the historical panels needed for the Charters of Freedom Monument - replicas of the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

Virginia Mist has already agreed to donate the granite boulder, Price said.

“Once we looked at the charter’s part - I have to tip my cap to Charles Rapp in the planning department - he approached Virginia Mist about donating some additional granite for the cap pieces of the charter display,” he said. “It ties in all very nicely together.”

Charters of Freedom will use local materials and local contractors.

“If there are any local contractors that would like to help on this project, they will be recognized on a donor’s plaque that will be attached to the setting,” Unruh said.

For more information about the Charters of Freedom or to donate to the project, visit www.ChartersofFreedom.com.

For the most part, that’s how the “war” has gone for the past half century, built around an expectation that law enforcement officers, rather than public health officials, would staff the front lines.

The opioid crisis changed that. Drug users are still ending up in jail, but ask a police chief or sheriff how they feel about stemming the tide of addiction and you get the same response over and over: “We can’t arrest our way out of this.”

Then how do you break the cycle?

More than 700 people have died of opioid overdoses in Virginia's Piedmont during the past decade. Thousands have become addicted — many not through a spiraling of recreational drug use, but by taking prescribed painkillers for injuries or disease. How do you ensure that people with pain fully understand the risks of taking opioid medications for long periods of time?

And, how do you protect the next generation from another wave of trauma?

“High school kids aren’t dropping dead from heroin,” said Culpeper Police Chief Chris Jenkins. “But that’s the age where you need to start educating kids about opioids, probably sooner.”

"JEKYLL AND HYDE DRUG"

So, law enforcement agencies in the region are taking on a larger role in teaching their communities about a crisis that few saw coming, and with a focus that’s more nuanced than it would have been 10 years ago.

“We try to teach it’s a brain chemistry issue,” said Capt. Ray Acors of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Department. “It’s not that someone’s a bad person. Their bad behavior comes out of their addiction. It’s a Jekyll and Hyde drug.”

Chief Jenkins thinks addiction prevention doesn’t get the attention it merits. He has both professional and deeply personal reasons for feeling that

of addiction is due to genetics.

Other factors: chaotic home environment, abuse, peer influence, community drug attitudes, poor academic achievement.

“Twenty years ago, this would have been taboo. You didn’t mention drugs in the first grade.”

— Nate Clancy, Culpeper School Board member. way. Five years ago, his 26-year-old son, Jordan, who had become addicted to prescription medications, committed suicide.

“I actually think prevention is as important as law enforcement now,” he said. “And it’s the part people kinda forget about.”

Jenkins said a complicating factor is that it’s usually up to local communities to develop their own prevention programs. “What’s the best model?” he said. “It’s not coming from Richmond.

It’s not coming from Washington. And fighting for prevention programs is a challenge. They don’t make money.

Treatment programs make money.

“Look, we already have our hands full for the next 10 to 15 years dealing with what’s happened. If we don’t focus on addiction prevention now, we’re going to get another whole segment of our community dealing with it.”

"PREVENTION IS A MINDSET"

Not surprisingly, Alan Rasmussen is a big believer in the value of prevention in slowing opioid use. As “prevention specialist” for the RappahannockRapidan Community Services Board, his top priority is promoting programs that help prevent substance abuse and suicides. He cites research suggesting that every dollar spent on prevention saves more than $7 on treatment.

“It’s vital,” he said. “If you can help people early, they don’t have to have everything they want to do destroyed— their academic achievements, their

careers, their relationships.”

Rasmussen makes that point a lot when he’s working with community groups or coalitions wrestling with the ripple effects of the opioid crisis.

Prevention, he said, needs to become a mindset.

“It’s about energizing anybody and everybody,” he said. “Some people will say, ‘I’m not sure we have a problem.’

I tell them you don’t want to have a problem. Besides, they probably do have a problem and it’s bigger than they think.”

Some prevention programs are pretty straightforward, such as encouraging people to clear their medicine cabinets of leftover prescription painkillers. Police say that because of their street value, they’ve become a favorite target of burglars.

Beyond that, a survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found that 60 percent of those who said they misused opioids didn’t have a prescription. Roughly half reported that they got the drugs for free from friends or relatives.

Twice a year, the DEA stages a drug “take back day,” when people can drop off unwanted prescription medications at designated locations, usually local police departments or sheriff’s offices.

Through the past four collection days — the last one was in April — the DEA hauled in an average of 464 tons of unused or expired drugs nationwide.

The next take-back day is Saturday, Oct. 26, between

10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (You can search for the nearest drop-off location on DEA’s Diversion Control Division’s website at https://www.deadiversion. usdoj.gov.)

Some law enforcement offices — including the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Department, the Culpeper Police Department, the Orange Police Department and the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department — now allow people to drop off unused prescription drugs anytime. That initiative appears to be catching on.

In Fauquier County, for example, 96.5 pounds of narcotics were dropped off at the sheriff’s department last year; through this September, 109 pounds have already been collected and destroyed.

"LOOKING FOR CLUES"

At the same time, police and sheriff departments are trying to make parents and grandparents better comprehend the risks that come with being a teenager today. Two and a half years ago, the Culpeper police department took a step in that direction by launching its version of a program called Hidden in Plain Sight (HIPS). It’s a traveling demo of teenager’s bedroom, filled with items that might indicate he or she is using drugs or alcohol, or engaging in other risky behavior. An innocent-looking soda can might be a reconfigured storage space for drugs. A container of a cleaning agent usually kept under the kitchen sink could mean they’re using it to get high. Parents or grandparents are encouraged to search for clues. Often they miss a lot of them.

Lt. Ashley Banks estimates that he and Officer Michael Grant have given Culpeper’s HIPS presentation at least two dozen times for other police departments, civic organizations and churches around the state. That has prompted the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Department and the Madison County Sheriff’s Department to create their own versions.

The idea is not to turn parents into snoops, said Acors, but to show them how to become more aware of what their kids might be dealing with, whether it’s drug use, eating disorders or bullying.

“Parents don’t know where to look when there’s a crisis,” he said. “They start Googling for answers at 3 in the morning. We’re trying to help them before a crisis happens.

“We don’t want the parents’ first reaction be to call law enforcement,” he added. “We don’t want to come over to your house and lock a kid up because you suspect something. This program is designed to help you have those difficult conversations in a more positive way.

Instead of having it be a reason to hand out punishments, you want it to be an opportunity to say, ‘Help me understand what’s going on.’”

Sometimes parents seem uneasy about what they see as invading their

children’s privacy. Fauquier Sheriff Bob Mosier said they need to consider the consequences of not going into that room.

“What you’re doing is looking for clues to prevent harm,” he said. “It could be something that could be stopped in its tracks now. If you do not seize upon the opportunity at that age, you could be talking about a lifetime of hurt.”

Acors made another point: “That room doesn’t belong to them. That phone doesn’t belong to them.”

"RISK FACTORS"

Meanwhile, area school districts are looking for ways to squeeze lessons about opioids into curriculums already packed to meet state academic requirements. They’re exploring how to raise awareness among students about crucial addiction risk factors, such as genetic predispositions and the significance of when a person first uses

drugs or alcohol.

The latter can make a big difference in whether a person develops a substance abuse problem, said Sallie Morgan, who as executive director of the Mental Health Association of Fauquier County has worked closely with the school district in developing substance abuse and mental health programs.

“About 75 percent of people who are addicts become addicted by the age of 27,” Morgan said. “Research has shown that if you don’t use before you’re 17, it can greatly reduce your risk.”

Results of a 2019 Pride student survey — a national questionnaire used by some school districts every four years — are still being compiled, but the last one, in 2015, found that the average age of first drug, alcohol or tobacco use in Fauquier schools was 13. The story is equally sobering in Culpeper County.

In a 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, more than a third of seventh-graders said they had used alcohol, and 8 percent indicated they had smoked pot by the time they were 14.

The survey also reflected another disturbing trend. The number of high school seniors who said they had taken pain medication without a prescription?

Twelve percent.

"STARTING EARLY"

Another issue is that traditional drug education programs haven’t dealt directly with the risks of legal painkillers. This summer, the Culpeper County School District tried to address that by adopting an opioid curriculum initiated by a member of the Virginia Beach School Board, whose daughter died of a heroin overdose. (See sidebar).

Nate Clancy, a member of the Culpeper School Board who pushed for more opioid education, said the curriculum is being added primarily through health classes at different grade levels. Opioids aren’t really discussed until sixth grade, he said, but lessons about medications start as early as first grade.

“They’re told that if they see pills they’re not familiar with, they shouldn’t touch them,” he said. “And, that they shouldn’t take medicine without their parents present. Third grade deals more with proper and improper use of medicine. Also, how it affects your body.

How it can make you better, but there also can be consequences.

“Twenty years ago, this would have been taboo,” he added. “You didn’t mention drugs in the first grade.”

The Fauquier County School District has also updated its curriculum, according to Frank Finn, assistant superintendent for student services and special education. He said he has worked with the Mental Health Association of Fauquier County and other community groups to identify better resources for teachers, including material specifically about opioids.

As in Culpeper, the lessons start

.com/opioids

early, but with an emphasis on basic coping skills. The goal is to help young students develop the confidence to not be easily swayed into making risky choices.

“I think if you get the elementary learning right, they’ll have the skills to deal with problems they face when they get older,” Finn said. “It increases the likelihood they’ll make better decisions.”

With substance abuse closely tied to mental health issues, school districts are also focusing more on being able to spot students struggling emotionally or psychologically. Some now offer Youth Mental Health First Aid, an eight-hour training certification course that teaches participants how to identify and, if necessary, get help for kids. Fauquier staff who have had the training wear purple lanyards so students can find them easily.

"CHANGING THE BRAIN"

One key nuance the training teaches kids is that for some people, addiction is not a choice. “If someone has a trauma history or they have a family history of substance abuse and a genetic predisposition, we’re keeping in mind that this may not be as much a choice,” said Kathy Sickler, social worker in the Rappahannock County School District.

“A child may be kind of set up for failure.

So, we watch that closely and I can start to link them up with community resources if we need to.”

She said that it’s equally important for kids to know what’s at risk. “We want them to understand that this is something that can affect you mentally, physically, emotionally. It could even affect your sex life,” she said. “It’s going to affect all areas of your life. This is a disease. That’s part of the addiction education.”

Sallie Morgan, of the Mental Health Association of Fauquier County, agreed that education is critical to how communities battered by the opioid crisis move forward.

“We want to help people understand that addiction is a brain disorder,” she said. “The substances themselves change the brain. So, it’s not a matter of will power. It’s not a matter of good versus bad.

“But there are some choice points, and if you’re informed, you can avoid going down a path where you really don’t want to go.”

Coming soon  For all the raised awareness about opioid addiction, its stigma persists and plays out in many ways. Also, how other communities are dealing with the challenges of the opioid crisis.

That part is basically over. I’m getting stronger and the blisters I had earlier have turned to calluses.

turns inward toward other things.

Getting up to walk each day becomes just a little bit harder. One starts to think about the finish line.

This mental struggle is just one more thing to get through as we make our way to Santiago.

I mentioned in my first article that this journey is one of faith for me.

I’ve been lucky in that regard because a group of pilgrims led by a Catholic priest has invited me to join their group. The priest leads a teaching in the morning and a Mass each night. I’m not a Catholic, but these gatherings have helped me keep focused on the reason for coming. The group has been very welcoming and I’ve enjoyed their companionship.

I am in my third week now. I passed the halfway point a few days ago. The Church actually hands out a certificate at the halfway point.

Receiving the certificate helped me feel a sense of accomplishment. The difficult mountain section is still ahead, but I’m feeling more and more confident now about finishing the journey.

The best highlight since my last article was in the town of Viana.

When I arrived in the town, the townspeople were putting wood over the store windows and doors.

I wasn’t sure what they were doing and wondered if a bad storm was coming. Then I saw some people putting up a bullring. So I asked someone: “Toros?” (“Bulls?”) The man said yes and warned me that the bulls would begin running the streets at 2:00. It was then about 1:30. So I raced to my hotel and got there just as they were about to put up wood to block the door.

As luck would have it, my room was on the second floor so I had a great view of the bulls and those

running from them. Everyone was dressed in white clothes and red scarves — the same way they do for the running of the bulls in Pamplona. (I wondered if this was similar to what Hemingway saw in Pamplona in the 1920’s.)

In the bullring later that day, the teenagers of the town tried to stay one step ahead of some younger bulls (ones without horns). Fun to watch.

I’ve run into several festivals along the way, all of which were pleasant surprises. Spaniards definitely love their festivals!

Annual Candlelight Vigil honors victims of domestic violence and sexual assault Staff report The annual Culpeper Task Force on Domestic and Sexual Violence Candlight Vigil honored victims of domestic violence and sexual assault Tuesday night.

Mark Nowacki, Director of Culpeper Victim/Witness Program, recognized two tireless advocates during the event - former Culpeper Police Detective and task force member Richard Brooking and Culpeper County Sheriff's Office Lt. James Tony Sisk - a guard in the Culpeper County Courthouse.

Nowacki thanked the two for their service and Brooking in his work with the task force and helping victims.

Nowacki related a story about Sisk, saying that anytime a victim is nervous in court or a defendent is staring down a witness, all Nowacki has to do is whisper to Sisk and the CCSO deputy says "I got it."

This post-apocalyptic tale follows the seemingly last man on Earth as he struggles to survive while fending off the infected survivors of a devastating vampiric plague. A brilliant scientist who raced to discover a cure for the manmade virus as humanity came crumbling down all around him, Robert Neville (Will Smith) was inexplicably immune to the highly contagious superbug.

Now the entire population of New York City -- and perhaps the world -- has been transformed into carnivorous bloodsuckers that fear the light and live solely to spread their contagion to any remaining living creature that crosses their path. Based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Richard Matheson, the book was previously adapted for the screen in 1964 “The Last Man on Earth” starring Vincent Price and the 1971 Charlton Heston action film “The Omega Man.” Rated PG-13. 35mm archival film print. 101 min.

Leapin’ Lizards! It’s 'Annie' Yes, we’re polarized and angry, uncertain about the future, defensive about our politics, but hey! The sun’ll come out tomorrow!

Maybe that sounds like impossible optimism, or “an unstoppable sunshine steamroller” as Ben Brantley called it, but “Annie” has not just survived, it’s thrived because people would rather feel good than bad. It’s almost that simple.

Riverside Center for the Performing Arts welcomes this durable piece of musical theatre to its 22nd season, and it doesn’t disappoint.

The little red-headed orphan who entertained our parents and grandparents through the 1920s, the Great Depression, and WWII has had a long run. Based on “Little Orphan Annie”, the comic strip by Harold Gray, “Annie” is the 1977 Broadway musical that snapped up seven Tony Awards and ran for six years before spawning a few less memorable films as well as three Broadway revivals.

'Annie' plays at Riverside Center for the Performing Arts through Nov. 17. For tickets, call (540) 370-4300 or visit riversidedt.com.

A large and well-meshed cast featuring the hilarious and endlessly watchable Sally Struthers plays like a gift on this stage, and Patrick A’Hearn directs his talented ensemble with clarity and inventiveness.

I’ll admit to getting restless during the long overtures of many musicals

with nothing to watch but lowered curtains and the orchestra plucking and sawing away. No such problem here. Mr. A’Hearn opens with full screen black and white newsreel photos of New York City in the time period of our interest – the 1930s.

This devise is revived, but not overused, in several scenes that represent traveling through the

city, sitting in a movie theatre, or arriving at destinations far from the orphanage.

The basic premise: A plucky orphan girl of eleven believes that someday her parents will come back to claim her and manages to escape the harsh, heavy-drinking ➤ See Curtain Calls, Page 17

Want to go?

➤ Curtain Calls, from Page 16 Miss Hannigan (who has, with bureaucratic perversity, been made head of the orphanage) to search for them. Tables turn, as they must, and the billionaire “Daddy” Warbucks wants to adopt her, but not before two frauds show up claiming to be her ‘real’ parents – as well as the generous reward. But have no fear – every ‘hard-knock’ life has a tomorrow, and this is musical theatre where everyone is happy at the end, except our bad guys, who get what’s comin’ to ‘em – and that makes us happy, too.

This is a sizable cast, but certain players require special mention.

Kylee Hope Geraci as Annie brings an adult-sized poise, confidence, and vocal range to her role. Sure of herself with the grown-up characters as well as her orphan peers (“It’s the Hard Knock Life”), she has the right combination of strength and vulnerability to get us on her side.

If only one song belongs to her, it’s “Tomorrow”, a tune that, sweet though it is, has invited some good natured derision over the years for its indefatigable hopefulness.

Christopher Sanders as “Daddy” Warbucks, looms over her as both physical presence and a symbol of the glittering life she is about to sample, but there is never a sense of the pair being mis-matched. Their

What: “Annie” Where: Riverside Center for the Performing Arts, 95 Riverside Pkwy., Fredericksburg, Va. Call: (540) 370-4300 or visit riversidedt.com.

Playing through Nov. 17 performance together with the ensemble in “N.Y.C.” is one of those uplifting moments that forgets all about “hard knocks” and bread lines.

Anyone who has seen Sally Struthers in her appearances on this stage can not doubt why she was cast as Miss Hannigan. Her comic genius carries the scenes, and her whiskey-voiced performance of “Little Girls” is worth the price of admission.

Miss Hannigan seems to suffer a permanent hangover, but she thinks clearly enough when the subject is how to defraud Oliver Warbucks – a prospect that introduces two of my favorite characters.

PJ Freebourn as the rubbery con artist, Rooster Hannigan, and Gabrielle Donadio as Lily, his partner in crime, are a hoot and a half. Their utterly conscienceless scheme plotted with Miss Hannigan is summed up in the jaunty, vaudeville flavored “Easy Street”.

A few resourceful actors juggle three or four separate roles, among them Stephen Sorrentino, the popular

Kathy Halenda, Ian Lane, and Alan Hoffman, who also appears as F.D.R. And what would “Annie” be without Sandy? Kudos to either Sir Gustafson Lyle Doolittle (a Goldendoodle) or Sir Mac Allan Burch Esq. (we’re not sure which one on our night) for the strenuous task of walking on stage and looking adorable.

This is not a show of “pretty” voices. Singing is strong, together, and ultra-bright – which seems to fit the overall tone of gosh-darned enthusiasm supported by Carson Eubanks’ seven- piece orchestra.

Scene design by Frank Foster aided by Weston Corey’s lights gives us a specifically rendered sense of

place, beginning with the orphanage, and swiftly converts to Oliver Warbuck’s richly appointed mansion complete with crystal chandelier and sweeping staircase. The delicate bit of snowfall at the end is a visual dessert.

So there it is – a solid rendering of an old, but not overdone, favorite, wisely kept in 1933 and still overflowing with buoyancy and good feelings. Who couldn’t use a little bit of that?

The Culpeper AirFest is known for making memories - and on Saturday it continued on that mission celebrating its 20th anniversary with thousands of fans.

The day kicked off as 200 girls turned out for the second annual Girls in Aviation Day getting an opportunity to learn about aviation from women pilots, air traffic controllers and mechanics. Girls ages 8-16 got to fly a remote controlled airplane, code and drive robots, take a virtual reality tour through Apollo 11 and learn how mechanics check for cracks in engines.

Kelly Murphy, Director of Communications and Editor-in-Chief for Aviation for Women magazine, said she was excited to see the girls get an opportunity to show their passion for science, technology, engineering and math.

“It’s a fantastic day,” Murphy said. “We’re trying to impress upon girls that you can be anything you want to be.”

The Capital Region Chapter, for which Murphy has been a part of for more than 20 years, has about 200 members. She said that without the involvement of her father, she probably would not have been interested in aviation - and that is the role she is trying to fill for the young women involved with Girls in Aviation Day. “We are about 7 percent of the commercial

airline pilots today, about two percent of mechanics and technicians, demand for both those skill sets are very much in demand,” Murphy said.

Each year Women in Aviation International gives out $600,000 in scholarships and Murphy said the event is critical for young girls and their parents to learn about resources to help them pursue their dreams.

“We try to give them mentoring and resources,” Murphy said.

On the tarmac, pilots chatted with visitors about the planes - sharing information and memories.

One of the most famous and popular pilots is Art Nalls, who for 12 years has brought his Harrier jet to Culpeper.

“Culpeper is always one of our favorite airshows, if not our favorite airshow because we’re treated like family, not hired help,” Nalls said.

This year, the AirFest featured a special demonstration as Andrew King and Bill Bell from Cruisin’ For Heroes reenacted a 1938 “mail drop,” where a classic 1923 Model T Speedster, driven by Bell, handed off a bag of mail to King, who then took off in his 1928 biplane and then dropped the bag back to the tarmac.

The show concluded with Nalls’ Harrier going through its routine, to raucous applause from the thousands attending - another memory created for the AirFest.

Weekly Tarotscope for Oct. 17: 6 Of Wands, The Empress

Prepare for success. The 6 of Wands is about Cara Cutro accomplishment and being recognized for it!

This week we are being called to give ourselves a pat on the back, or to receive hard earned praise from others for our efforts. It’s okay to enjoy a day in the sun while being acknowledged for all that you have done.

Sometimes the 6 of Wands simply speaks to victory. Triumph over a challenge or coming out on top after a period of difficulty. Vindication.

Coupled with The Empress, it’s important to remain open to receive the recognition represented in the 6 of Wands. Be proud of all that you are. Don’t reject this praise! The Empress is abundant and creative.

She also wants for nothing and is a master at receiving. We live in a culture that is so often out of

TAROTSCOPES

balance when it comes to giving and receiving. Takers and overgivers are common. There are two sides to the message here. On the one hand we have victory and a deep awareness of how abundant, fruitful, lucky, and fulfilled we are. On the other hand, we may be challenged to allow the praise, accomplishments, and recognition in. Sometimes people only know how to give and it can be such a challenge to receive. It’s important to sit back and allow the fruits of hard work and victory to sink in. The Empress is deep selfcare.

Embody her qualities as you accept healthy praise from yourself and/or others this week.

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.
