CCVFD to install 800 smoke detectors donated by Lowe’s

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

The Culpeper County Volunteer Fire Department Co. 1 is partnering with Lowe’s and the Department of Human Services to make sure the community of Culpeper has working smoke detectors.

According to Steve Corbin, President of CCVFD Co. 1, Lowe’s reached out to the department with an offer of installing 800 free smoke detectors for homes in Culpeper that need them.

“We came up with an application, working through Human Services and Sarah Berry, they are distributing them,” Corbin said. “They are open to any individual who does

not have working smoke detectors.”

Corbin said residents can fill out applications and start scheduling times to install the smoke detectors.

At the moment, they have approximately 15-20 applications filled out and will start scheduling when they have about 25. Corbin said that could be as soon as this week.

“The most difficult part is to let them know it’s here and it’s free,” Corbin said. “That’s what we’re having a hard time, reaching out to them and telling them ‘here it is.’”

The project came about following a fatal fire at 210 Wolford Street Oct. 26, 2016. That fire claimed the lives of Ismelda Elizabeth Gar-

cia Mena, 35, and her 4-year-old daughter Genesis Cadisha Rivera Garcia.

“That was a rental property, we don’t care if it’s a rental property or if they own it,” Corbin said. “We just want to make sure they have them and they are working.”

Corbin said Lowe’s of Culpeper reached out to them recently and said other stores have participated in programs such as this one.

“This is the first time, this is a new project for us,” Corbin said.

“This is all about giving back to the community. Granted we are all volunteer and there is no paid staff, but we are giving back to the community. They (Lowe’s) wanted to help the community also.”

Corbin said there are many times when the fire department responds to a call that a home does not have a smoke detector or if they do have one, it is not working properly. Many times, he said people will take batteries out of the smoke detector because it started beeping and then will forget to replace them.

Having a working smoke detector can simply save lives, Corbin said.

“It’s the difference between life and death,” Corbin said. “They do work. There’s no reason for someone to not get out safely if there is a fire.”

For an application, call (540) 727-0372.

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

Freitas, Webert re-elected, Keene upsets Hutchins ➤ Rosenberger to serve ninth term, Town Council sticks with incumbents

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Culpeper County solidly voted Republican Tuesday night in the 2017 election.

In stark contrast to the rest of the state, Culpeper re-elected two Republican delegates - Nick Freitas (District 30) and Michael Webert (District 18).

Freitas held his victory celebration at Beer Hound Brewery in Cul-

peper, where well-wishers swarmed him shortly after results were in.

Freitas defeated Democratic challenger Ben Hixon 62 percent to 38 percent.

He said he’s excited to serve the constituents of District 30 another two years.

“I think it’s the opportunity to build upon what we’ve already accomplished,” Freitas said. “It’s the whole community looking at what we’ve done and giving us the chance to send us back.”

Freitas said he heard from many residents as he canvassed the district, and trust and honesty were two of the subjects they spoke to him about. ➤ See Election, Page 14

Salute to our Veterans Priest takes over as new Culpeper National Cemetery director

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Matthew Priest comes from a long lineage of soldiers.

Priest, the new Director of the Culpeper National Cemetery Complex, now has the responsibility of helping his fallen brothers be laid to rest.

Priest’s grandfather, father and brother all served and he served two tours in the Army - one in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It was those experiences that led him to want to find a way to help honor the fallen and still be involved with the military.

“We lost a couple guys down range,” Priest said. “We held the barrels up at Arlington. The dedica-

tion that the staff at Arlington provided for our fallen comrades was amazing. I kind of new I didn’t want to stay in the military, but I knew there was another opportunity to serve this nation.”

Priest, who started his new position in August, said he was drawn to Culpeper after completing his schooling earlier this year in St. Louis, Miss.

“I’m still learning Culpeper,” Priest said.

“I grew up in a small town so I love the small town feel. I chose this location, because it is a small town and I love the humbleness of everybody.”

This is his first assignment as ➤ See Director, Page 5

Culpeper Times • Nov. 9-15, 2017 ➤ Director, from Page 4 a director, after completing a yearlong internship. An MP in the Army, he was one of 13 to finish the program this year and be placed at national cemeteries across the nation.

The gravity of the subject of burying his brothers is not lost on him.

“It’s heavy, but it’s honorable,” Priest said. “We have one time to do this correctly. Everything has to be done perfectly every single time.”

He said the cemeteries employ 1,800 nationally and more than 80 percent of those are veterans.

In Culpeper, he has a staff of nine that also are caretakers of the Winchester National Cemetery, Ball’s Bluff National Cemetery in Leesburg and Staunton National Cemetery.

“We provide oversight for all of those, from burials to ground maintenance,” Priest said.

For Culpeper, there are two sides to the national cemetery. One is historic and the other active. There are 30 acres of burial ground and more than 12,000 are interred in Culpeper, where the national cemetery is ranked 69th by burial rate out of the 135 cemeteries in the nation.

According to Priest, Culpeper has averaged 300 interments over the last two years.

“One of my main missions is to the let the community know, not just in Culpeper but surrounding

counties, that we’re here,” Priest said. “We’re in your backyard and we can provide services and benefits to anyone in this area. We’re projected to be open for the next couple decades.”

To be eligible for burial, veterans would have served on active duty and received an honorable discharge. There is a new program called pre-need where veterans can fill out a form and mail it in to see if they are eligible for burial in a national cemetery.

Priest said meeting the needs of area veterans is his primary concern and one of his main projects is obtaining an above ground mausoleum for urns.

“That’s one of the needs the community has brought to me,” Priest said. “I think that would be one good thing for this community, to offer one more burial option that they didn’t have before.”

Under his watch, the national cemetery is also undergoing several renovations including repaving roads and renovating the lodge that sits on the property that dates back to the 1900s.

“We just want to make it more aesthetically pleasing,” Priest said.

Priest will host his first Veteran’s Day ceremony Saturday, Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. The keynote speaker will be Brett Reistad, candidate for National Commander of The American Legion.

In the afterglow of last Friday night’s regular season finale Eastern View’s players were smiling as they mingled with families and fans outside the team’s locker room. Cyclones head coach Greg Hatfield was equally elated, but he was dealing with a slight case of Gatorade-induced hypothermia—he smiled through chattering teeth.

It was the sweet albeit cold taste of victory.

The Cyclones (10-0) finished the regular season with a 56-0 rout of King George to put an exclamation point on a season where it averaged 50 or more points in nine-of-10 regular season games.

Opposing offenses also felt the wrath of a defense that was opportunistic and equally as impressive earning threestraight shutouts in the Cyclones’ final three games against Caroline, James Monroe and King George.

The Cyclones defense has size and aggressiveness on its front line, speed and toughness in the linebacker corps and its defensive backs are ball-hawks with closing speed.

“As I look back on the season I think our entire team has constantly improved from game to game. This is especially true for our defense,” said Hatfield. “I think as a unit they tackle well and they are fundamentally sound on the field. Every one of our starters on defense works very hard on their fitness, ability to read offenses and all are fun to coach. They are always eager to learn and play hard.”

The gaudy numbers put up by the Cyclones’ offense (483 points) stand in stark contrast to the numbers surrendered by the defense (73 points).

Two local high school football experts weighed in on why Eastern View’s defense has been so successful this season. Both have analyzed or announced every game.

“I think with Eastern View I’ve seen a swarming defensive unit whose players are well-coached, well-disciplined in their assignments and whose players don't get caught out of position.

➤ EVHS, from Page 6 always pointed out--- EV has several individual stars but they collectively play very well as a unit. The front three or four have consistently done a great job of controlling the line of scrimmage throughout the season. The Cyclones defense has completely stopped opponents from establishing any semblance of a running game. Even when it looks like there's a running crease, the defense swarms like bees. They quickly fly to the ball,” said Mark O’Connell, an author and football commentator for Culpeper Media Network.

The booming voice of the Cyclones also added his insight.

“The Cyclones have a big aggressive line. They disrupt the backfield well and force opposing quarterbacks out of the pocket. The Cyclone linebackers make very good decisions and attack downfield,” said Dave Richardson, a press box announcer for the Cyclones and former line coach for the 1999 state champion Culpeper Blue Devils.

Perhaps the only real question mark associated with the Cyclones is the level of competition this year. Have they been tested? The Cyclones have met every challenge on its road to earning the Battlefield District championship trophy.

In the Virginia High School League playoffs the opponents become more formidable. The Cyclones will enter the Region 4B playoffs as a 4th seed—a strange seed considering its team record. Three other top-rated, undefeated teams, Dinwiddie, Monacan and Louisa also lurk within the 4B playoff bracket.

“The only team in our playoff region we have faced is Courtland (a 6th seed that will play Louisa) the others are less familiar to our staff,” said Hatfield as he began preparations for his home playoff game

this Friday. “Our defensive coach Steve Francese does a great job of pushing fundamentals with our players and putting them in positions to be successful. Our players have done a great job of buying into the system.”

In the big snapshot of the Eastern View defense it all comes down to teamwork. At the forefront of its defense are standouts, most notably D’Ago Hunter, Paris Owen, David Leavell and Zach Brown but they do not stand alone.

Each unit of Eastern View’s team must rise to the occasion in the playoffs each must contribute for the team to advance.

Everything slows down in November OUTDOOR OUTLOOK

What's to be said about this time of year?

The days have grown shorter and shortened still with 'Daylight savings', the rain has returned and the cold soon to follow. Holiday shopping and family gatherings filling the few blank spaces in our calendars.

We live life so fast these days it's easy to let a day's pass us by without making a single memory.

It's easy to let the schedule bring us here and take us there without much thought about what it truly is we are doing.

Most days being like the one before it and even the one after it, get up, get the kids off, get the morning tasks done, get the day

This goes on day after day with little thought.

The next thing being the important thing. We finish one after another without though to ensure there is time for the next.

Not remembering to slow down and take pleasure from the things we do because of course there is always something that needs to be done next.

Well, here is what I have to say about this time of year.

Mother Nature slows down this time of year, the sun sleeps longer, the winds blow longer, rain falls more.

Trees and shrubs prepare for the winter. Perennials die back to the ground.

The cold slows us down. I personally think this is gods reminder to slow down and take

some pleasure from the things we are doing right now.

The small pleasure of watching our kids wake. A good morning kiss to my wife that last a little longer than usual.

The leafs on the trees as I travel or the clear air opening views not often visible, a thick fog offering a different view. The conversation with my teenagers as we get ready for our days.

Tickling my 7 year old to hear her laugh, seeing that smile as I pull her from the truck and usher her off to school.

Stopping on the front porch of our office to great the guys and enjoy a few minutes together before we head out to build someone's dream.

I have come to realize life moves faster as we get older because we forget to take enjoyment from the day to day things we do.

The more I try to get done so

I can get onto the next, the less memories I make.

So what really is to be said about November?

From a landscapers point of view November is for planting. A football fan, it's about the games.

A savvy shopper it's about black Friday. Wall Street, it's about the end of the year. But for all of us it should be to slow down and make some memories.

Lets enjoy our families and friends. Lets enjoy the embrace of love and friendship and remember the day.

Let's make memories this month we can smile about for years, make new friendships and celebrate old ones.

Connecting local farmers and chefs Contributed report “Farm-to-table,” where restaurants and other food buyers source products locally, has continued to grow in popularity over the years.

Purchasing from local growers keeps money in the local food system, while giving consumers the freshest food available and connecting them to local farmers.

But making local food market connections can still be difficult, according to Jess Palmer, farm and food program coordinator for the Piedmont Environmental Council.

“It takes time, outreach and commitment. Having the opportunity to talk face-to-face can make the process much easier,” said Palmer.

Farmers and chefs had the opportunity to meet and network at an event hosted by PEC, this past Monday. Guests from Culpeper County, and as far away as Elkton in Rockingham County, gathered at Copper Fish in downtown Culpeper.

“It was great to be able to meet people in person and start to build those relationships. Farmers often have their own networks and this was an opportunity to get plugged

into that,” said Jason Lord, the chef at Walden Hall, a bed and breakfast in Reva, Va. One of the difficulties farmers expressed was the ability to find the right buyers with the demands and long hours of farming.

“Events like this one really put me in front of a more targeted audience of potential buyers,” said Jacob Gilley, a cattle farmer from Heaven’s Hollow Farm in Orange County.

“Until you build a relationship with a customer, it’s a lot harder to sell to them.”

Part of a USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program grant, the event is the first of three that will be held in the Northern Piedmont region over the next three years.

Each gathering will build on the previous one and draw a larger group of growers and buyers.

Guests heard from French Price, a Virginia Cooperative Extension representative of Market Maker, a national network that connect farmers and fishermen with food retailers, grocery stores, processors, caterers, chefs and consumers.

“Even learning about Market

The Piedmont Environmental Council hosted a farm to table network event at the Copper Fish Monday.

Maker was absolutely amazing. It’s a resource I wasn’t even aware existed,” said Lord.

After the presentation, the event became a casual happy hour social where the farmers and chefs rotated around the room, introducing themselves and exchanging information about products they have for sale or items they’re interested in buying.

“I was so excited by the diversity of registrants -- we had buyers from restaurants, retail stores, public and private schools, and even wholesale purchasers,” said Palmer. “It was a wonderful opportunity for local growers to talk up the variety of products our region offers and make connections that can help support the economic vitality of their farm.”

Real estate inventory continues to fall in Fredericksburg region Contributed report Residential home inventory in the Fredericksburg, Virginia, region was lower in September than a year earlier, and the number of units sold was up slightly regionwide, according to the Long & Fos-

ter Market Minute reports. The Fredericksburg region Market Minute report includes Fredericksburg City and Spotsylvania, Stafford, Culpeper and Caroline counties.

Average days on the market in the Fredericksburg region ranged from 31 days in Stafford County to 55 days in Fredericksburg City.

That’s down compared to a year earlier, when the range was between 39 in Spotsylvania County and 60 in Caroline County.

Active inventory again decreased region-wide, including a 22 percent drop in the city of Fredericksburg compared to a year earlier.

able, but pretty consistent with what we’ve seen most other months of this year,” said Larry “Boomer” Foster, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. There was a seasonal slowdown between August and September, during the start of the academic year for most schools.

Inventory remains a challenge, but home shoppers are still looking for move-in ready, turnkey properties.

Buyers today, of whom millennials make up the largest generational group, lack the appetite for home remodeling that previous generations showed. Even at a discount, a fixer upper will likely take longer to sell, Foster said.

“Millennials have other things they would rather be doing,” Foster said. “They like traveling and philanthropic pursuits, not a two- or three-month project in the home they just bought.”

➤ Election, from Page 3 “If you’re trusted, they’ll voted for you,” Freitas said. “If you do what you say you’re going to do, even if it’s something they don’t want to hear, it carries a lot of weight.”

In Culpeper County, Freitas received 5,533 votes to Hixon’s 3,468.

Webert faced a pair of challengers in Democrat Tristan Shields and Green Party candidate Will King. Webert came away with a victory with 60 percent of the vote.

Shields garnered 34 percent and King finished with five percent.

In Culpeper County, Webert received 3,092 votes, Shields 1,246 votes and King finished with 143 votes.

In possibly the upset of the evening, challenger Marshall Keene unseated 16-year incumbent Elizabeth Hutchins in the race for Stevensburg School District.

Keene received 63 percent of the vote to Hutchins’ 37 percent. Keene received 1,257 votes to Hutchins’ 735.

“I can’t believe it,” Keene said.

“Elizabeth has been there for 16 years and she has done a lot for our community. I knew it was going to be a tough task from the beginning.

We knew from the get go we knew we had to work hard.”

Keene campaigned on issues such as bus driver shortages and allowing school resource officers to be armed to help protect students.

“They saw the issues were brought up and addressed, parents were big in this and they want to have a voice in the school system,” Keene said. “When I told them that I would be that voice, I think it helped a lot.”

Keene’s daughter, Emma Welbourn - a junior at Eastern View High School, said students wanted to have a voice students could talk to.

“I think it’s very important because if we don’t have a voice how will the school board know what we need,” Welbourn said.

Hutchins was surprised by the result, but thanked her supporters from the last 16 years.

“I guess disappointed, I’m extremely grateful for all the support

In the only contested race for Culpeper County Board of Supervisors 32-year incumbent Brad Rosenberger won the Jefferson District race against Chuck Duncan.

FILM • “Peter Pan” (Paramount, 1924) The first film adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s enormously successful 1902 stage play “Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up,” remains one of the silent era’s most successful fantasies, notable not only for Betty Bronson’s exquisitely stylized performance as Peter, but also for its elaborate settings and special effects. Directed by Herbert Brenon and featuring Mary Brian as Wendy and Anna May Wong as Tiger Lily, the film closely follows the plot of the original play, and even goes so far as to incorporate much of its original stage dialogue in the intertitles. Thought to be lost for decades, James Card, film restorer and curator of George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, discovered a well-preserved copy in a vault at the Eastman School of Music in the 1950s, and made a preservation of that source. Film historian David Pierce (and now Assistant Chief of the Library of Congress National Audio Visual Conservation Center) discovered an additional and hitherto unknown 16mm copy at the Disney Studios

which had been made when the company acquired the rights to the property in 1938. A new restoration was undertaken by the George Eastman House combining the two sources in 1994. “Peter Pan” was added to the National Film Registry in 2000. London based musician Stephen Horne will provide live musical accompaniment for the film. 7:30 p.m. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt.

FILM • “The Scarlet Letter” (MGM, 1927) Lillian Gish stars in this adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1850 novel as Hester Prynne, who engages in an adulterous relationship with the Reverend Dimmesdale (Lars Hanson) in Puritan New England.

Gish, one of the most respected and popular actresses of her time, managed to get the film made by winning over a number of women's and church groups around the country who considered the subject matter of the book unacceptable for the movies. Her pristine reputation, combined with a tasteful script by the great Hollywood screenwriter Frances Marion, caused them to change their minds and give the

Giving local – Why it matters

ALICE is your neighbor. You have probably seen ALICE in the supermarket, or at church, or around town.

ALICE’s children go to school, or childcare, with your children.

ALICE has a job nearby. ALICE makes enough to support “her” family, but not much (if any) more. ALICE does not have any savings…nothing to fall back on in case of a financial crisis. And a financial crisis can happen to ALICE, or anyone, at any time. What if ALICE cannot get to work because of a sick child? What if ALICE has an unexpected expense, like an automobile breakdown. If ALICE does not work, or has some unexpected expense, ALICE has to make some difficult choices.

Over the summer, Piedmont United Way, and United Ways throughout Virginia, received the ALICE Report. We have been working on the ALICE Project for nearly two years and it has given us a lot of information about the needs of people in our communities. ALICE tells us how much the families in our community earn AND what it costs to

live in our community.

ALICE is an acronym for “Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed” and it describes so many of the people who are our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Families who are proud to be self supporting but are one step away from disaster.

Not a big community-wide disaster like a hurricane or earthquake, but a personal disaster.

Here is what the ALICE Project tells us: We know what families earn in each county (and town, and city) in Virginia. We measured what it costs to live in each county in five key areas: housing costs; food costs; medical care; child care; transportation. So now we also know how much it costs to survive in our community and how many are struggling in our community. You may be surprised to know how many are struggling in the five counties that the Piedmont United Way serves: Culpeper County 41% of families are struggling Fauquier County 35% of families are struggling Madison County 56% of families are struggling Orange County 35% of families are struggling Rappahannock County 38% of families are struggling All of Virginia 39% of families are struggling

There is some good news. Working together in our community, we can and do provide some help to ALICE and her family. Through support of the United Way Campaign in our community, by payroll deduction donations where you work, by individual contributions in response to our direct mail campaign, through donations by many of our local churches we support the services that ALICE needs - Local services that help struggling families in our community. Giving to United Way goes to: Our Free Clinics to provide medical care to those who cannot afford it; Emergency assistance such as food, and help with rent or utilities; Child care and youth programs that keep kids safe and out of trouble and improve learning Protecting adults (and children) from abuse and neglect Training and education to improve job skills and employability And much more…

In fact, United Way’s First Call For Help program helps to distribute food and gifts for kids to less fortunate families during the holidays, as well as connecting families with emergency assistance every week, year-round.

Over the past few years, giving to the Piedmont United Way has declined. Because of this, our ability

to respond to help those in need has been reduced. The local programs and agencies that count on United Way’s support have had to reduce the help that they have been able to provide.

Our aptly named “First Call For Help” program has had to tell many that help is just not available.

Our community can be generous.

We have responded, individually and collectively, to crises and disasters elsewhere in our country and in the world. Please consider the families who need your help right here in our community. The Piedmont United Way is LOCAL, helping LOCAL families in need.

When you are asked to give to the Piedmont United Way Campaign, where you work or at home, please be generous. If you do not have a United Way giving campaign where you work, please help us get one started. If we have not asked you to give, please contact us. You can reach the Piedmont United Way by calling 540-825-7615 or by emailing us at info@piedmontunitedway.org.

You can also visit our website at www. piedmontunitedway.org or visit us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ Piedmont-United-Way-106440910951.

When you give, you are part of the solution!

become Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents through the 287g program will be costly. Prince William County – the only other locality in the Commonwealth that has entered into such an agreement – budgeted $26 million dollars to implement their 287g program over 5 years. On page 5 of the standard

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between ICE and the Sheriff, the contract spells out that local law enforcement “is responsible for the salaries and benefits, including overtime, of all its personnel being trained or performing duties under this MOA.” Culpeper can find better uses for our tax-payer money.

The true expense, however, will be counted not in dollars, but in the trust that will be lost between local law enforcement and the community.

Diagnosing whiplash injuries “Whiplash” is often used to refer to an acute sprain of the ligaments, strained muscles of the neck, or both. The term whiplash is really a misnomer. Folks believe the force of an automobile accident tosses the head forward and backward like a whip. However, when struck from behind, the body is driven forward while the head lags behind momentarily before catching up. The neck muscles mmediately tense and contract to stop the head from moving too fast and too far forward. This is not a true whiplash motion, but the involved muscles and ligaments are microscopically injured, strained or sprained as a result.

Muscle injuries are strains, and ligament injuries are sprains. Even though the terms are often used interchangeably, I refer to ligament injuries as a sprains and an injury to a muscle as a strain.

Regardless, this type of injury causes pain, although it may be delayed for several reasons. First, the victim’s mental and physical reactions to the mishap may overcome any awareness of pain.

More pressing problems cause the person to ignore neck pain for a short time.

If the injury is mild to moderate, swelling and inflammation may become noticeable only after some time. Finally, some folks just have a high pain threshold and will not feel the results for a while. In any case, within a day or two, the injured person will definitely feel some pain if there was enough injury.

The appropriate treatment includes medication for and to decrease inflammation, as well as immobilization of the neck, usually by a soft collar. The use of the collar is limited to three , but many folks continue wearing them

DR. TOM NEVIASER

THEM BONES AND JOINTS

for months. Healing begins very soon after the accident, and if the neck is immobilized for too long, the injured ligaments and muscles heal in a scarred shortened form. After several weeks, when the collar is removed, the injured person may complain of limited neck motion with pain similar to the pain of the original injury.

At that point, mistakenly believing the injury hasn’t healed, the patient will invariably put the collar back on—a big mistake! Time and again, I saw the results of this terrible cycle in folks who eventually came to me for a second opinion. I told them to totally eliminate the collar right away and gave them exercises for stretching the healed, shortened ligaments and muscles.

Rather than referring them to a physical therapist, I encouraged them to perform their own exercises and made it clear that while these would cause pain, they would not cause any harm.

Then I closely monitored them, the length of time depending on the individual case.

The longer they had worn the collar, the longer it would take to rehabilitate them after they took it off.

With a new injury, I allowed the collar to be worn for just five days and then started them on gradual but intense home exercises to stretch the ligaments and muscles as they healed. By the time these injured areas were restored, the person usually had regained a normal range of neck motion.

Someone with a neck injury sustained in an accident may consult an attorney to institute a lawsuit, and while I won’t dwell on the subject of lawsuits generated by neck injuries, I have been called as an expert witness in cases where the pain occurred weeks after the accident. I don't believe a car accident could cause a delay of pain for weeks. Attorneys also tend to tie the extent of injury to the damage to the car or cars, but I contend that the body’s normal reaction to this

type of mechanical force is always an acute, full reflex contraction of the muscle, no matter how minor the accident.

Congenital Cervical Torticollis A congenital cervical torticollis (con-JEN-it-al SUR-vick-al torti-COLL-is) means an anatomic twisting and tilting of the neck from birth. Some have termed it wry neck.

Usually noticed by two to four weeks of age, doctors attribute it to an injury sustained in the uterus or at birth that caused fibrosis (scarring) and contracture (shortening) of the sternocleidomastoid (ster-no-cly-doMAS-toid) muscle, a long, thin, flat muscle that runs from the back of each ear down the side of the neck to the collarbone and the sternum.

Infants with this condition are often unable to fully rotate or bend the head to one side. Typically, the head tilts toward the affected muscle and is turned toward the opposite side.

Early treatment is essential because, unless the torticollis is corrected, the face can become misshapen. A child with torticollis should be followed closely by a doctor familiar with the condition to make sure the face doesn’t become deformed.

The first form of treatment is stretching to correct the tightness, sometimes with a collar to prevent more contracture. If stretching fails to correct the problem, a few of these children will need surgery to release the muscle.

Congenital torticollis is not to be confused with acquired torticollis, a tilting of the head and neck caused by muscle spasms from any of a number of causes, including an acute herniated disc, as discussed last month..

Community coalitions praised for making a difference

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Community coalitions make a difference.

Coalitions and community partners were praised for their work with Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Wednesday, Nov. 8 during a presentation at Culpeper Baptist Church.

RRCS Prevention Specialist Alan Rasmussen highlighted the work the many coalitions in the community do to help raise awareness of suicide and opioid addiction in Culpeper and the surrounding counties.

“The purpose of this is to celebrate some of the work that is going on in our area,” Rasmussen said.

The importance of a community coalition is that is a cornerstone of creating successful change - either by addressing an ongoing problem or stopping one before it starts.

Culpeper and the surrounding counties have a diverse group of community partners who join together to solve a common problem.

Many of those coalitions have been formed from grief and tragedy.

Ed and Gloria Long started the

Living the Dream Foundation after their son Ben overdosed on heroin.

He was a smart young man, an Eagle Scout and always seemed full of life. It was a shock to them when he died and now they want to help spread awareness to make a difference - coalitions can do that.

“I think that the more we get together, the more of an impact we can make,” Ed said.

Culpeper Town Police Department Chief Chris Jenkins knows the pain of loss all too well. His son Jordan committed suicide and now he works with his non-profit, Team Jordan, to help others facing suicide.

“Together we are stronger,” Jenkins said. “When you’re faced with adversity, there’s a fight or flight mechanism. We chose to fight.

These are all tough subjects that people don’t want to talk about.”

In this day and age, it’s becoming all too common to read of young people dying from overdoses or suicide. The coalition's want to talk about their experiences, their pain, their grief so others don’t have to face the same thing.

“Everyone has suffered a loss,” Gloria said. ➤ See Coalition, Page 23

➤ Coalition, from Page 22 “People can be unaware of depression and unaware of the type of depression you’re slipping into.”

The numbers of overdoses in the community is staggering, according to the Blue Ridge Task Force there have been 182 overdoses in the six-county area it covers with 28 deaths.

“We’ve had our share of opioid overdoses and our share of suicides over the years,” Ed said. “You always hear how great Culpeper is and how great a place this is to live.

Why is it happening here? It emphasizes it can happen to anyone.”

Following their son’s death, Ed and Gloria took the gatekeeper training offered by RRCS that helps identify suicide risk. Ben showed 11 of the 12 signs of suicide, but until their training, they had no clue.

Brenda and Junior Bowers started the Rusty Bowers Suicide Prevention Coalition after their son Rusty committed suicide. Now, they host an annual walk and a bowling event to help raise funds for prevention.

“It helps a lot,” Brenda Bowers said. “I think it helps to put Rusty’s name out there associated with suicide, we just want to make a difference. If we can help one person, we’ve done our job. This is all hard to talk about, but we have to talk to each other.”

Jenkins said while helping nationally is important, the Culpeper coalitions keep their money locally.

“It’s important these coalitions are based in this community and the money helps this community,” Jenkins said. “Every single dollar stays here and it helps.”

Rasmussen praised the coalition's as a team of “we.”

“It’s a ‘we’ thing,” he said. “We are leaders in hope.”

Part of that hope is partnering together. There’s a strength in numbers that can help head off tragedies before they start.

“I hear all the time that people learn that they can spot people and head off tragedies,” Rasmussen said.

Coalitions bring people together who have different skill sets and expertise and partnerships help find solutions others wouldn’t think possible. Rasmussen praised coalitions formed from tragedy including Come As You Are, started

by Moira Satre after the drug overdose loss of her son, Team Jordan, the Rusty Bowers Suicide Prevention Coalition and the Living the Dream Foundation.

The coalitions RRCS works with have raised more than $150,000 since Rasmussen started working with them.

“I just want to thank the coalitions for all they do,” Rasmussen said.

Celebrate Virginia Cider Week EPICUREAN MUSE

Virginia is for lovers and there are many things to love in addition to each other! I think it’s safe to say Hard Cider is at the top of the list of things to love for many folks. Since 2012, when the Virginia General Assembly passed Bill HJ105 designating the full week before Thanksgiving as Virginia Cider Week, it has been going strong.

In fact, Virginia was the first state to declare a week-long celebration and this year Virginia Cider Week is November 10 – November 19.

First a little history from the website ciderweekva.com, “In colonial America, fermented cider was the drink of choice. John Adams attributed his health and long life to a tankard of cider before breakfast. Thomas Jefferson’s champagne-like cider, made with Hewe’s Crabapples, was his “table drink.”

Throughout the 19th century, growing apples and crafting cider from cider apples was an integral part of every community. Many factors contributed to the decline of cider in the US—the Industrial Revolution caused a decline in farms;

immigration patterns changed and more beer drinkers arrived in the US; Prohibition dealt the last blow and most cider orchards declined or were destroyed.

Many Virginia cidermakers aim to revive the cider tradition by growing, or encouraging others to grow cider apples, and by crafting fine cider.” Judging by the sheer number of Virginia cider producers operating today, it appears the industry is right on target in their quest to revive the tradition.

Some of the latest sales numbers are pretty impressive too.

According to the Virginia Wine Marketing Office, in 2015 state cider sales saw a 200 percent spike over 2014. That equates to over 496,000 cases of Virginia cider sold.

If you haven’t tried a hard card lately, this is a great time to experience some of Virginia’s finest locally grown and produced. Just like wine, cider is fermented juice and cider styles can vary from bone dry to sweet as in dessert; some are still and some sparkling.

The styles and flavors can also be as complex and thought provoking as wine. While it’s no surprise that apple flavors come through, you might be surprised to find notes of citrus, herbs, flowers, even mushroom depending upon the style.

On many restaurant wine lists cider is a nice alternative to traditional sparkling wines. So instead of ordering your usual Prosecco or Cava, you might consider a sparkling cider instead. Not only is it crisp and refreshing, but cider is very food friendly.

There’s a style to fit any flavor from rich and salty, to spicy, smoky or sweet.

It’s a perfect addition to most any holiday meal and gathering.

During Cider Week many local producers, restaurants and retailers are hosting events highlighting the industry, it' an ideal time to visit, taste and learn from the best. Cheers!
