In addition to the shopping, the First Christian church located at 15351 Ira Hoffman Lane will serve as the host site for gift wrapping performed by volunteers and the LEO (young Lions) from the Eastern View High School in Culpeper After the gift wrapping is completed the children, along with their presents will be bussed to Peppers Grill co located with the Best Western Motel for a brunch to complete their day.

Santa will be at Peppers Grill to greet the children and participate in the festivities.

Everyone involved in this annual event , Lion’s, Counselors, Volunteer Gift Wrappers, LEO’s and the folks that escort the children during their shopping experience look forward to this event annually. This is another opportunity for all involved to serve.

We look forward to meeting the Youth Council members and hope you do to!)

Grade: Sophomore School: Culpeper County High School Hobbies: My hobbies include Culpeper Hospital’s Junior Auxiliary, CCHS Lacrosse, Culpeper Youth, and watching classic movies.

Why I joined Youth Council: I joined Culpeper Youth because the idea of a greater involvement of a younger generation in our community really appealed to me. I think that it is such an amazing thing for teens like us learn from leaders, workers, and other entrepreneurs in our community, as it provides not only practical experience for when we get older and return to this community as adults, but allows us to benefit those around us weekly. It is amazing to see how much we’ve already grown and helped to give back in only a few short months. We have become a family and I can’t wait to see where we will go next.

How to make Culpeper a better place: I believe that change in Culpeper begins as an individual. I hope to get as many people as I can around me involved with the care and upkeep of our community.

Short term, I want to help with as many volunteer opportunities in our community as possible and give back to those in need. Long term, I would love to have the opportunity to head and raise money for and community projects that I believe will benefit a lot of people in this community.

non-profit art gallery and co-operative.

Indeed, after an interlude of seven years at two Sperryville locations, the gallery is delighted to announce that it will be going home to the little yellow house next to The Inn at Little Washington – at 325A Middle Street, to be exact.

The Middle Street Gallery will celebrate its return and re-opening in Little Washington with a public reception on Saturday, December 9 (36pm) and a ribbon cutting ceremony

by Mayor John Fox Sullivan.

This reception will at the same time honor gallery member Rosabel Goodman-Everard, whose solo show, Doodling in the Dark, opens that day and will run through Jan. 14. The gallery will also host visitors between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 10, during the Little Washington Christmas Parade.

Goodman-Everard's works are varied, fantastic, and fun, mostly small panels spray-painted in vivid colors, then covered with marks and patterns: circles, dots, squares and rectangles, bark patterns, thorns, nets, drops of water or blood, and foot prints. The gallery, and the artist, hope visitors will enjoy looking at her paintings as much as she did creating them.

“While working, I listened to Mozart, and Beethoven’s overtures, drank wine and WhatsApp'ed endlessly with my friends all over the world,” says the international lawyer, who became an artist 20 years ago. “Every panel was an adventure, nothing was ever planned, all results were unexpected and nothing ever came out a failure. It has turned out to be the most fun I have ever had making art.”

“In its new/old location, the gallery's twenty-one members hope, having come full circle, that they will enter a new period of artistic fertility, inspiration and excellence,” said gallery president Ann Currie.

Annual Thanksgiving Service: America is resilient ➤ First responders honored for their service to Culpeper

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

America and the church’s resolve was honored Thursday at the annual Culpeper Christian Community Thanksgiving Worship Service.

Guest speaker, Dr. Doug Springer, author, founder and president of the national and global disaster relief organization “Somebody Cares America/International, talked about how America and the church has come together to face adversity.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, mass shootings and other strife have pulled our country together and restored faith instead of shattering it.

“We have something far more in common than what divides us,” Stringer said.

Stringer, who is from Houston, pointed to the relief efforts of Hurricane Harvey and how the church community helped first responders during the crisis. ➤ See Thanksgiving, Page 5

Earlier in the day, the Salvation Army started its Red Kettle campaign for the Christmas season, and Martin encouraged all to give.

“Every time you pass that Red Kettle, you hold the hopes of people like this in your hands,” Martin said.

First responders, elected officials and law enforcement were honored for their efforts.

“Culpeper County Ministerial Association puts this Thanksgiving service together for you,” Nancy Sharman said.

"For what you mean to us, and what a privilege it is to serve you.

Thank you for being part of our community.”

“Everywhere you went the church was there, doing what Christians are supposed to do, being Christ like,” Stringer said. “It’s amazing to see our churches come together and help our first responders and our first responders using the church. Everyone coming together. People need to know there are people out there rescuing lives and saving souls.”

Stringer said our nation’s faith is strong, no matter the situation.

“Revival comes sometimes by circumstance and sometimes by choice,” Stringer said. “I pray that it comes more by choice but I pray in difficult times you’ll see there’s still character left in the church of America.”

The Salvation Army provided the testimony of thankfulness this year, with Lt. Jared Martin sharing his experiences in serving in Georgia during Hurricane Irma.

He shared a story of an elderly couple who lost everything, except for their compassion for others.

Their home was flooded and filled with mold, but they still helped their neighbors and were overjoyed when the Salvation Army came to feed the neighborhood. “‘There are so many people that need you,’ they said,” Martin said.

“They were joyous the Salvation Army comforted them in their time of need. They said ‘this is why peo-

Culpeper Times • Nov. 23-30, 2017 ➤ Empowering, from Page 6 is free to the organization, with products they have to purchase coming at a USDA discount.

Last Saturday, more than 50 volunteers hurried to prepare the groceries for residents in need who started lining up in the Culpeper United Methodist Church parking lot at 6:30 a.m.

Food from the food bank sat alongside produce, bread from Panera Bread and venison from Hunters for the Hungry, all waiting to be loaded into grocery bags and taken home.

Skelton said that this past weekend, an estimated 200 families benefited.

That’s about the average these days, though they’ve served more.

“We’ve seen the need increase, we’ve seen it spike at times,” Skelton said.

Volunteers help give out more than 200 individual bags of food, with local businesses and schools providing help.

This past Saturday, volunteers from Kohl’s and Eastern View High School’s cheerleading program helped out.

“We have a lot of community partners,” Skelton said.

“That’s one of our really positive things, we truly are a community program. EVHS every month sends an athletic team. We have kids from the OPTIONS program that help.”

Outside, the Culpeper Lions Club screening van provided eye and hearing screenings to youth who waited with their families.

The program has been at CUMC for about seven years. The first few years they operated out of the George Washington Carver Building before moving in town to the former Providence Bible Church location.

Residents don’t have to fill out paperwork prior to coming to pick up food, Skelton said.

“They just have to come,” Skelton said. “They don’t have to bring any proof of income, they just need to come. For a family of four, they will get about nine bags of food.”

Skelton said those who come pick up groceries are grateful, and should be commended for noticing they have a need.

“For a lot it’s not what they would choose to do, but they recognize they need help and they’re showing enough smarts to know that we can help with that,” Skelton said. “A lot of our volunteers are in fact their customers because they want to give back.”

Volunteer Marian Dykes has been with the program since the start, when a young man from AmeriCorp recognized the need in the community 14 years ago.

“There’s some pretty sad stories out there, and they need food,” Dykes said.

She said it’s heartwarming as a volunteer to be able to help, and it’s important for community members to see that there is in fact a need.

“Especially the young people, they get introduced to people who need help they might not otherwise know,” Dykes said.

Hallie Adams, a ninth grader at EVHS and a cheerleader, packed bags early Saturday morning as residents lined up outside.

“There’s a lot of people that want to help with this,” Adams said. “It makes me feel good because I’m helping people and making sure they don’t go hungry.”

A group from Kohl’s prepared lettuce to be packed into bags, and Culpeper resident and Kohl’s employee Autumn Smith had her family with her to help.

“It’s very important for us to give back because I grew up here,” Smith said. “If we can make it easier on them for the holidays, it’s important to us. I never realized how many people that I know, needed this kind of help. It feels good to give back.”

Andrea Dick, a Kohl’s employee, said the company’s willingness to volunteer played a big part in why she wanted to work there.

“That’s the whole reason I wanted to work at Kohl’s because they do this kind of stuff,” Dick said. “I’ve done this before and it’s just very uplifting to see everybody receive help.” ®

Are we finally due for a cold winter?

WILD IDEAS

After recent mild winters, we should get a cold one this year, right?

Many factors affect weather, and the upward-trending global temperatures complicate whatever might be considered the “norm,” making forecasts problematic at best.

Taking that into account, looks like we’re not heading toward a cold plunge this winter.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (tinyurl. com/wi-winter-noaa), the federal agency that studies and forecasts climate and weather, every winter gives the odds, based on computer data modeling, on whether the United States will have higher or lower than normal temperatures and precipitation.

According to NOAA, Virginia has a 33-40 percent chance of having higher temperatures than normal this winter

Pam Owen

(December-February). And, except for the southeast — which has a 33-40 percent chance of being drier than normal — the odds do not tilt in one direction or the other in terms of precipitation.

La Niña, which NOAA says has a 55- to 65 percent chance of developing before winter sets in, seems to be the “biggest wildcard” again this year.

NOAA says both the temperature and precipitation outlooks for this winter “lean on typical La Niña impacts, particularly those of the past 30 years, and bear some resemblance to the outlooks issued for last winter.” Those outlooks came to fruition last year.

The forecast from the Old Farmer’s Almanac (tinyurl.com/wi-ofa), written

by Michael Steinberg, focuses more on sunspots. “We at The Old Farmer’s Almanac use solar activity as the driver of our long-range weather forecasts,” Steinberg writes. “We believe that changes in the Sun’s output, although relatively small, are sufficiently amplified in Earth’s upper atmosphere to strongly influence Earth’s weather

patterns.”

So how are the sunspots looking for this winter? “The current cycle is comparable to the very low levels of solar activity that occurred in the early 1800s (the period referred to as the ‘Dalton Minimum,’ which coincided with the ‘Little Ice Age’) and early 1900s, which was also a cool period,” the Steinberg says. So will temps be lower here this year? “Colder than last winter,” Steinberg writes, “they will likely still be above normal in the eastern and northcentral states.”

And what does Caleb Weatherbee, over at The Farmers’ Almanac (tinyurl. com/wi-tfa; see sidebar for how the almanacs differ) have to say? Temps and precipitation are supposed to be back to “normal” here. But it also says the Southeast will see “below normal winter temperatures . . . with above-average precipitation” and “from the Great Lakes into the Northeast, snowier-thannormal conditions are expected.”

With global warming increasingly causing instability, and therefore unpredictability, of these patterns, the

modeling NOAA does becomes tougher, and NOAA doesn’t always get it right.

Steinberg, too, notes that the warming climate does have an effect on our weather, sunspots or not: “Despite the low solar activity, the first half of 2017 was 3.4 degrees F above average across the United States, the second warmest January to June period on record, behind only 2016.”

The upshot is that it’s just plain hard to predict weather more than two weeks out, and the general trend toward a warmer climate complicates the effort,so I would suggest keeping both shorts and skis handy. Or you can do what Fast Eddie, the Wyoming cowboy who taught me how to cross-country ski did — wear shorts while skiing. He was one tough cowboy. © 2017 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

A voice for the voiceless

➤ Dee Fleming's son Joe died of a heroin overdose, now she wants to speak out for those that need help

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

It may have been Joe Fleming’s first time doing heroin.

It was also his last.

Joe died on Oct. 13 at age 23 of a heroin overdose. He was in his friend Isaac Dean’s house, who just 84 hours earlier had overdosed and died himself.

Joe snorted heroin, along with another man, and died.

His mother, Dee Fleming, started the Facebook group Culpeper Overdose Awareness to help give a voice to those who need it, to those like her son who felt the temptation to use and then never had a chance to learn from it.

Dee Fleming holds a photo of her son Joe, remembering happier times. Joe died Oct. 13 of a heroin overdose. Dee formed Culpeper Overdose Awareness on Facebook to help try to save lives.

‘He just didn’t want to feel’ The sad story of Joe’s death began on Oct. 9, when it was discovered his best friend Isaac had died of an overdose.

Dee, her husband John and sons Ryan, Jacob and Josh (along with Joe) consoled Isaac’s widow Amber.

Dee, maybe prophetically, told Amber she needed to address Isaac’s death publicly.

“I had said to Amber you have to be a voice, you have to speak out for people who are struggling with this,” Dee said.

On the night of Oct. 13, Joe left his job at Merchants Grocery and went over to Isaac’s house with another man - one his friends knew used heroin. His youngest brother Josh and another friend tried to convince him to go home. He didn’t.

He snorted the drug and then Amber’s relatives, who were upstairs sleeping at the time, were later alerted that Joe wasn’t breathing. They called the authorities, but by that time it was too late.

He was gone.

“We knew Joe smoked pot, but we had no idea that he was doing coke,” Dee said. “It may have been his first time doing heroin, but we have no way of being sure. All of his friends were just shocked.”

So was his mother, who was working as a caregiver at Old House Vineyards when she got the call from her oldest son Ryan.

Joe was gone. He had overdosed

on heroin.

“It just didn’t compute,” Dee said.

“I had never known him to do anything like this.”

News spread quickly. A post was put on Facebook and soon Joe’s friends flooded their house, shocked and looking for comfort.

That’s when Dee knew she needed to speak out.

“I said ‘we just need to talk about this and put it out,” Dee said. “I talked with all my boys and my husband and said ‘are you OK with this? People need to know kids are dying from this.’”

The morning Joe died was Isaac’s birthday and also the day of his viewing. She thinks her son just hurt too much at the passing of his friend.

“I think just sitting at Isaac’s house, he just didn’t want to feel for a while,” Dee said. “We don’t think he did it intentionally because he had just bought clothes.”

Dee, strong in faith, still curses when she thinks about the fleeting chance that her son may have had. Instead of calling the authorities, the person he was with apparently cleaned up the evidence before alerting the others in the house about Joe’s condition.

“This is what is so f***ed up about the situation,” Dee said. “This kid said he woke up to the sound of Joe gurgling. He did not go upstairs to get the people who were staying upstairs. By the time he came and

got them, Joe was cold. The detective said it was obvious there was some cleaning up done.”

Throughout this process, Dee said she’s been stressing to people to pick up 911 and call, no matter the situation.

“It could save that life,” she said.

Making a difference Speaking out about his death is Dee’s way of trying to make something good out of a horrible situation. She doesn’t want other families to suffer the way her and Amber’s have and she said having a conversation about drug abuse in our community is one that is overdue.

“I just felt like it’s important that this is a normal part of our dialogue as a community,” Dee said. “We can’t ignore it. That was my goal, to get people comfortable talking about it.”

She created the Facebook page and then took Revive training - a process that gives community members an opportunity to have NARCAN and learn how to administer the life-saving drug.

Talking about her son’s death has given her a purpose.

“Honestly, this is the only time I feel alive,” Dee said. “When I’m not is when despair sets in. Everyone says ‘oh, you’re so brave to do this.’

Actually I’m terrified. I’m scared someone else is going to die from this. Another mother is going to be sitting across a table from you telling her story. I want to do every-

thing I can to ensure that doesn’t happen.”

She doesn’t want her son’s death to be in vain.

“His death has to mean something and make a difference in someone else’s life,” Dee said.

She stressed that heroin addiction, drug addiction can happen to anyone. She’s heard stories about teenagers to older men. It can happen to single people or family men.

Isaac had two young children he left behind, addiction doesn’t discriminate.

“Your background doesn’t matter,” Dee said. “There’s no demographic.”

Many become hooked after taking prescription drugs. That wasn’t the case for Joe, even though he had a few injuries from football - he played for the homeschool football team The Disciples in Richmond.

Instead, the loss of his playing days may have led to his experimentation with drugs.

“Joe was so involved with football, it was five years of his life,” Dee said. “In the off season he’d play rugby. I think the loss of that was the start of all of this. I think that was the start of trying to find something else to occupy his time.”

The family’s faith is strong, Dee said, and the continued prayers of their friends have lifted them up.

However, prayers can only do so ➤ See Voice, Page 11

Culpeper Times • Nov. 23-30, 2017

➤ Voice, from Page 10 much and he she hopes that others speak out to help loved ones - before prayers are all they have left as well.

“That is the only way we can get through, through prayer,” Dee said.

“I think about this way, my kids are just on loan for me from the Lord.

I wish I had known he was only on loan for 23 years, but I know he’s in a better place. Whatever pain he was experiencing, he’s not experiencing any more.”

‘It can happen to anyone’ Jon Russell is a Culpeper Town Councilman, the chairman of the Culpeper Republican Committee and a loving family man. Even he is not immune to the epidemic.

Roughly a month ago, his youngest sister Ashley passed away from a heroin overdose.

“It had kind of a 10-year, slow train wreck,” Russell said. “It started with other hard drugs. She got in with the wrong crowd. You knew it was going to come to an end unless she got help.”

His youngest sister was living in Louisville, Ky. and had struggled with addiction for some time. Russell said they grew up in a rough family atmosphere - with an abusive mother and a father who was not in the picture. As soon as he graduated high school, he left, soon followed by his middle sister. Ashley was left with the brunt of it.

She turned to find comfort in the wrong places and Russell tried on numerous occasions to help. Each time, he was rebuked.

“I had flown out to Louisville a couple of times on business and while I was there tried to reach out to her,” Russell said. “The times I went out and tried to connect with her, she decided to go out and do drugs instead of meeting.”

Ashley, 31, had five children, including a newborn. Her addiction led her down a dark path.

“She ended up prostituting herself out for heroin,” Russell said.

It was last month that his other sister called after hearing from a social worker. Ashley had been found dead in an apartment with a needle in her arm. His sister has taken over the care of the newborn and the other children are with different family members.

Russell stressed that addiction does not discriminate.

“It can happen to anyone,” Russell said. “I went and spoke to a couple of senior groups in the last couple weeks about the issue and said ‘listen, you guys are target No. 1 for break ins or for people to come get your opioids. You need to get rid of them.”

Many opioid abusers begin by with prescription drugs and when those prescriptions run out they look for other ways to find ways to

LOCAL NEWS shut out the pain. It can start by rummaging through other people’s medicine cabinets or by eventually turning to heroin.

“It’s a long progression for some people and it’s indiscriminate,” Russell said. “It doesn’t matter, age, it doesn’t matter of color, of income.

It’s affecting all of us, no one is immune.”

As a member of local government, Russell is uniquely positioned to be able to address the epidemic. He laid out a three-pronged approach that combines community partnerships along with institutional help.

He stressed education - letting people know what the warning signs and reminding the public to be observant and having community partners like churches step up to help.

“If there are churches out there looking for missions, this is the place to put the money,” Russell said. “This is the place to put the effort and this is where you can make real change.”

He cited Mountain View Church as working with other local churches to find a way to put together a rehab center.

While getting people help is important, he reiterated that it requires someone being with them post rehab to make sure they don’t relapse. He said that only 10 percent of users are able to kick the heroin habit.

“That’s staggering,” Russell said.

His third prong is law enforcement, which he said is already doing a good job but they need reinforcements. That’s where government can play a role.

“I would like to see in this next (town) budget if there’s someplace the police would like us to put more money into the fight,” Russell said.

“We have to disrupt the supply coming into Culpeper, we cannot be No. 1 in the region any longer for heroin overdoses.”

Citing his personal experiences, Russell said the community has to play a role in the recovery process.

“Everyone has a job in fighting this,” Russell said. “If someone sees something, they need to say something and get help. Even if the person using it is not willing to be helped, making sure people know about it will go a long way to raise people’s alarms to it.”

What are the warning signs?

Alan Rasmussen, Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Prevention Specialist, has been on the front lines of trying to stop the problem before it starts.

Prevention starts by working with local coalitions, such as Come As You Are - which helped organize a McShin Foundation recovery center in Warrenton - and taking the message to the public to help educate them.

“If we raise awareness and educate, if people have the information

Joe Fleming (above left) and his friend Isaac Dean died within three days each other, both from heroin overdoses. Dee Fleming rememered her son for his ability as a talented artist and his caring nature. that’s the key,” Rasmussen said.

Rasmussen stressed the warning signs of overdose victims: shortness of breath, reduced heart rate, intense itching, sudden changes in behavior, disorientation, cycles of hyper alertness followed by “nodding off” and the presence of needles or syringes not used for other medical purposes.

Rasmussen as well advocated for residents to properly dispose of their old medications, pointing out medication drop boxes at area law enforcement agencies. The Culpeper Police Department, Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office and Fauquier County Sheriff’s Department all offer this service.

“It reduces the risk that people have access to these opioids in our homes,” Rasmussen said.

While prevention is important, what happens if someone knows someone who is already using and is worried they may overdose? Rasmussen recommends Revive training for the community, which teaches community members how to use NARCAN (provided by the Virginia Department of Health).

CAYA is one of the coalitions that provides the training.

“People who attend this training can get NARCAN medication so they can revive someone if they have overdosed,” Rasmussen said.

Government on the state level Del. Nick Freitas, 30th District, knows that the counties he represents (Culpeper, Orange and Madison) are the epicenter of the epidemic. The General Assembly has addressed the issue with multiple

pieces of legislation.

“I think one of the things has to do with some of the legislation we passed last year,” Freitas said. “It has to do with closely monitoring legal prescriptions that are going out that are prone to getting people addicted. When the legal prescriptions goes away, they have to find another source, which is very dangerous.”

Another piece of legislation, introduced this year, collects money from the civil asset forfeiture and puts it in a neutral account.

“We want that neutral account to be dedicated in order to help with addiction services,” Freitas said.

While government plays a role in solving the issue, Freitas said that community based organizations, with the support of the General Assembly, can make the biggest difference.

“Government based programs don’t work as well as community based programs,” Freitas said.

“We have state owned facilities that are sitting empty that could be used in order to provide infrastructure for these community based organizations. That’s one the biggest things missing from this whole equation, is a lack of long term treatment.”

How to get help RRCS will be hosting a Revive training Dec. 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. at their location on Bradford Road.

Dee encourages as many people as possible to attend.

“Hopefully we can get NARCAN in the hands of as many people as we can,” Dee said. “My husband and I will carry these everywhere we go.

It’s important to have those tools.”

Knee pain? Here’s some options

More people than ever are opting for joint replacement If you're one of the growing numbers of Americans suffering from constant knee pain, you know it can hurt your quality of life – and take away activities you love. That’s why more people than ever are opting for knee replacements.

In fact, more than 700,000 knee replacements are performed each year, and the rate of total knee replacement from 2000 through 2010 grew 86 percent for men and 99 percent for women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Knee pain and back pain account for among the top 10 visit types overall for people seeking care based on CDC statistics.

With an aging population wanting to remain active, and with obesity on the rise, it is estimated that knee

replacement cases will exceed 3 million a year by 2030.

“These numbers are not surprising, given that 9 out of 10 knee replacement patients report a significant improvement in their pain following surgery,” said Dr. Armin Harandi, an orthopedic surgeon at UVA Orthopedics, a department of Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center. Here’s a look at causes and options when it comes to knee pain.

1. What are the causes of knee pain?

“In general, the most common causes of musculoskeletal knee pain include osteoarthritis, bursitis/ tendonitis, overuse injuries and trauma/acute injuries,” Harandi said.

“In assessing patients for knee pain, it is important to start with an accurate history to help narrow a diagnosis for a broad symptom such as knee pain,” Harandi said. Among the issues a provider will assess: Is the pain chronic, or did it come on suddenly?

Is there swelling?

Does the patient have a history of

previous injury or surgery?

Are there other symptoms present?

Providers will also examine patients to determine a specific pain location in the knee as well as areas above or below the joint. “Atypical or ‘red flag’ signs noted may indicate consideration of less common causes such as fractures, infections, tumors and rheumatologic processes,” Harandi said.

2. Who is most vulnerable to knee pain?

“Patients 50 years old and older are susceptible to pain caused by musculoskeletal issues, particularly osteoarthritis,” Harandi said. “It is even more frequent in people older than age 65.”

Osteoarthritis has been diagnosed in 23 percent of Americans, and arthritis is the leading cause for disability in America, according to the CDC. “Knees are a significant contributor to this number,” Harandi said.

That is not to say that younger people are not vulnerable to knee pain as well. “Knee replacement surgery is based on a patient's pain and

disability, not age,” he added.

3. Nonsurgical treatment options In some cases, treatment may simply require resting the leg, elevating it, and applying ice packs and compression. Anti-inflammatory medicines are usually sufficient to help with the pain.

“Strengthening and stretching exercises or physical therapy may be recommended as well,” Harandi said.

“Sometimes a brace may be necessary short-term. If the pain is related to chronic osteoarthritis, there are some joint injections that may be of benefit.”

Weight loss is another area that Harandi may recommend. “There are many studies with clear evidence of osteoarthritis in knees being linked with obesity,” he said. “Moreover, there are studies showing improvement of joint pain and quality of life with weight loss.”

Obesity is a growing concern related to knee pain in children.

“One-third of all American children are overweight or obese, and this ➤ See Knee, Page 14

is continuing to increase,” Harandi said. “Over the years, this becomes a major contributor to joint pain and osteoarthritis.”

These are normally the first line of treatments unless the pain is caused by an injury or trauma.

4. When surgery becomes necessary When basic measures don’t work, patients may need to see an orthopedic surgeon,” Harandi said.

When surgery is required, “Patients can expect get to back to enjoying their same activity level prior to surgery — but without the pain,” said Harandi.

“Most patients can stand up and walk the day of surgery, and experience significant improvement in their pain after surgery.”

“With minimally invasive surgical techniques, pain control and early rehabilitation, we see patients recover from surgery faster than before.”

Harandi said. “Even when knee

replacement patients live alone, the vast majority of patients recover just as well, and may experience fewer complications, if they go home directly from the hospital. Outpatient rehabilitation is also less costly than spending days or weeks in a rehab facility.”

If you suffer from knee pain, plan to attend a free lecture on Common causes of knee pain and treatments presented by Dr. Armin Harandi, a physician at UVA Orthopedics, a department of Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center. The lecture will be held Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 6:30 p.m. in the Board Room at Culpeper Medical Center, 501 Sunset Lane. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Harandi, call 540-321-3120.

You can also talk to your primary care provider about knee pain you’re experiencing. He or she may refer you to a specialist for care. If you don’t have a primary care provider, find one at NovantHealthUVA.org.

NOV. 30

FILM • “Casablanca” (Warner Bros., 1942) One of the most beloved of American films, this captivating romantic adventure directed by Michael Curtiz is the story of world-weary ex-freedom fighter Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) who runs a nightclub in Casablanca during the early part of WWII. Despite pressure from the local authorities, led by the wily Capt. Renault (Claude Rains), Rick's cafe has become a haven for refugees. One of those refugees is Rick's true love who deserted him when the Nazis invaded Paris (Ingrid Bergman) and her Resistance leader husband (Paul Henreid). How the triangle would resolve itself wasn't known even to cast members until the last days of filming. The film's dialog and the timeliness of world events swirling around Casablanca, Morocco made the eventual Best Picture winner a favorite with wartime audiences. “Casablanca” was among the first movies added to the National Film Registry in its inaugural year, 1989. This month marks the 75th anniversary of the film’s premiere. 7:30 p.m. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • Double Feature: Great Directors – King Vidor and William Wellman “Street Scene” (United Artists, 1931) When Hollywood’s major independent producer Samuel Goldwyn set out to make a motion picture of Elmer Rice's Pulitzer Prizewinning play “Street Scene,” he chose noted director King Vidor to helm the production.

Vidor was known for his skill at handling social issues in such films as “The Big Parade” (1925), “The Crowd” (1928) and “Hallelujah” (1929). He had been one of the first directors to move the camera after the arrival of talking pictures, which was excellent preparation for adapting the one-set play.

Depicting the events of two days in a New York tenement, this Pre-code drama stars Sylvia Sidney in a role that established her as a notable leading lady. Goldwyn hired eight actors from the original stage cast including Beulah Bondi and John Qualen, who would go on to notable careers as character actors. The film had great box office success and brought Goldwyn some of the best reviews of his career. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

“Stingaree” (RKO Radio, 1934) Oscar winning screenwriter-director William A. Wellman, considered one of the premier directors of Hollywood’s Golden Age, had a career spanning four decades and multiple genres. “Stingaree” is one of six RKO films of the 1930s previously thought "lost" but rediscovered and restored by Turner Classic Movies. The films were sold out of the RKO library to producer Merian C. Cooper in 1946. Extensive legal negotiations and a search of the world's film archives allowed TCM to claim the films and create new 35mm prints in association with the Library of Congress and the BYU Motion Picture Archive. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

by Nancy Carroll) and makes it big on Broadway, only to find he can't handle success. Directed by A. Edward Sutherland and John Cromwell, this vivid early talkie expertly captures the backstage environment and features a number of songs by the team of Richard A.

Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • “McLintock!” (United Artists, 1963) John Wayne made a big hit at the box office as George Washington McLintock, an aging, self-made, hard-drinking cattle and land baron in this raucous Western comedy, loosely based on William Shakespeare's “The Taming of the Shrew.” Maureen O'Hara, Wayne’s friend and co-star in “The Quiet Man” (1952), plays his estranged high-society wife Katherine, with his son Patrick Wayne, Stefanie Powers, Chill Wills and Yvonne De Carlo also highlighted in the cast.

Michael Wayne, John’s eldest, earned his first credit as producer, while Andrew V. McLaglen, son of actor Victor McLaglen, handled the directing duties on his first major big-budget film. The project was filmed in Technicolor and Panavision and produced by Wayne's company Batjac Productions. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt.

FILM • Double Feature: 1930s Westerns “Forlorn River” (Paramount, 1937) Based on the book by Zane Grey, “Forlorn River” stars Larry “Buster” Crabbe as a young cowboy named Nevada who takes a job on a ranch rounding up horses, but runs afoul of a former bank robber posing as a powerful cattleman who frames Nevada as a horse thief. Crabbe, a two-time Olympic swimmer before breaking into acting, is best known for playing Tarzan, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers in serials and features.

After his first two books were adapted to the screen, Grey formed his own motion picture company, which he later sold to Paramount Pictures. Between 1911 and 1996, 112 films were adapted from the novels and stories of Zane Grey.

“The Painted Desert” (RKOPathe, 1931) Clark Gable made his talking film debut in a supporting role in this Western about conflict and romance between the adopted son and daughter of two longfeuding Westerners. William Boyd (in his pre-Hopalong Cassidy days) and Helen Twelvetrees are the stars, as is the superior cinematography of the Arizona desert by Edward Snyder. Gable's notable performance as an unrepentant former criminal opened the door for him to become "The King of Hollywood" during the 1930s. 2 p.m. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • “Second Chorus” (Paramount, 1940) In this jazzy musical comedy, Fred Astaire stars with Burgess Meredith as Danny O'Neill and Hank Taylor, a pair of friendly-enemy musicians whose careers have dead-ended after spending seven years in a college band. They sweet-talk pretty Ellen Miller (Paulette Goddard) into being their manager to help them get an audition with Big Band leader Artie Shaw, all the while competing for her affections. Among the highlights are Astaire and Goddard’s dance to "(I Ain't Hep to That Step but I'll) Dig It.'' Choreographer and frequent Fred Astaire collaborator Hermes Pan was on board to work out the dance numbers and also has a small role as a clarinetist in the film.

VIEWS Salvation Army doing the most good in Culpeper SALVATION ARMY

This year Christmas has an army. In September the Emily Oreto Salvation Army opened its Center for Worship and Service in downtown Culpeper. The works of The Salvation Army have been present in the county for more than a decade.

This is the first year The Salvation Army has been able to work and provide services through the church in addition to their social work. The Salvation Army is reaching out to “Do the Most Good” in Culpeper, Orange, and Warrenton.

By donating just two hours of time to ring the bell or putting just a little more in one of those red kettles people can help The Salvation Army do a little bit more in the community.

Eighty-two cents of every dollar goes to support the people of the community through services provided

by The Salvation Army.

Money from donations means that The Salvation Army can provide assistance and programs to people in our counties who otherwise may have gone unserved and unreached. Red kettle donations allow the Salvation Army to provide energy assistance to people who otherwise would be unable to pay their utility bills and are facing imminent cutoffs. Energy assistance can help keep people from losing their utilities, have a warm meal, and protect them from extreme temperatures.

Donations keep the pantries stocked so that The Salvation Army can provide emergency food and commodities to people and families in desperate situations. Families in need can also utilize the Pathways of Hope program to break free from the cyclic nature of long term poverty. The Salvation Army uses this program to set individual and unique goals for each family to make the program work best for them.

The Salvation Army’s programs help make Christmas bright for

families in need. Angel Trees help make Christmas special for children who may not have anything under the tree. This program provides new toys and clothes to children and food to families on Christmas.

While The Salvation Army may be most visible during the Christmas season money raised through the Red Kettle campaign supports the work of the Salvation Army all year long. Tuesday evenings at the Center for Worship and Service on East Culpeper Street the Salvation Army welcomes school age children to Youth Downtown.

Youth Downtown is a weekly youth night where the children are fed a warm dinner and taught about the teachings of Jesus through games, fun crafts, and interactive activities.

Children from the community are also provided the opportunity to go to camp during the summer. The Salvation Army has a 635 acre camp in Richardsville that serves children from all over Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland.

Donations to the Red Kettle

Campaign help provide money for scholarships for camp that allow recipients to have a once in a life time experience.

The success of this Red Kettle season comes directly from the community.

The time slots for volunteers at the kettles are just two hours, though anyone willing is welcome to give more time. Lieutenant Jared Martin, the minister at the Salvation Army in this community, has asked that anyone interested in volunteering reach out to him at jared.martin@uss. salvationarmy.org. For people unable to donate their time The Salvation Army is asking that they consider just how far their money can go. If everyone who contributed could donate just a little more, the works of The Salvation Army would have that much more of an impact on the community.

Last year The Salvation Army helped 1,932 individuals in Culpeper and Warrenton alone. That number was an increase of 9.2%. Your donation can help make an even greater impact in 2018.

Origin Story: Cybersecurity Guidelines In the past year, many of the topics of the Data Dump column have dealt with passwords, data storage in the cloud, ransomware, and security breaches. Those articles contained security standard information to protect you and your business But do you know the origin of where the security guidelines and advice come from? It comes from a United States Department of Commerce agency called NIST. NIST, founded in 1901 as The National Bureau of Standards, is the government acronym for the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

NIST has many laboratories that range from manufacturing, energy, health, forensics, quantum science, and of course, cybersecurity. NIST is a nonregulatory agency within the federal government, meaning that they cannot enforce any other department, agency, or organization to comply with the guidelines they create.

I had the privilege of going to NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, MD

DATA DUMP

John Barker

in February of this year to attend an industry day. I quickly learned how much they are involved in. This group of scientists are on the frontlines of cyber-everything.

The NIST cybersecurity team was looking for a team of contractors experienced in developing standards and guidelines in the following areas: a. Applied Cybersecurity (for example, Cyber-Physical Systems, Public Safety Communications, Health Information Technology, Electronic Voting, Critical Infrastructure, and Federal Agency Cybersecurity) b. Information and Communications Technology Supply Chain Risk Management c. Cybersecurity Awareness, Training, Education, and Workforce Development d. Cloud Computing and Virtualization e. Mobile Security f. Network and Internet Security g. Organizational and System Risk Assessment and Management h. Software and application development, application modeling i. Privacy engineering and risk management j. Cybersecurity and privacy in Health Information Technology (HIT) issues k. Software and application

development, application modeling support I know what you’re thinking now.

Yeah, they do pretty much cover everything.

The result of the never-ending research is a document called Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (ver 1.1), also referred to as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).

The NIST CSF does not contain hard and fast rules that everyone needs to abide by. Rather, they are guidelines that other agencies turn into enforceable rules. An example would be a NIST guideline saying you should backup your information periodically.

But an organization following the guideline would define the exact requirements for backing up their data, such as what is backed up, how long to keep it, and how frequently a backup is scheduled.

The advantage of having guidelines is that guidelines can be scaled to fit organizations of any size and budget.

This gives technology professionals a common reference document to pull from. A company like Microsoft or the Department of Defense will have teams of people just to manage backups.

While our company, managing a small business in Culpeper, will only need one

or two people to handle the same sort of task. Both types of companies would implement identical sets of principles.

The second biggest takeaway from my NIST industry day was they must be right, no matter what. Every presenter that day started with the same thing; accuracy is the most crucial factor when looking for additional contractors, not price. The research they do on daily basis has global impact and is constantly changing. When doing scientific research on cybersecurity critical infrastructure, such as the electrical grid, there is no room for error.

If you are curious and would like to check out the NIST CSF document head over to: https://www.nist.gov/topics/ cybersecurity Its 61 pages of policy goodness.

TEASER: Next month I will be profiling a startup company that has developed innovative technology to expand fiber and broadband internet at a much cheaper cost. And they are relatively local!

Crazy for 'Crazy for You' Thinking about going to New York, seeing the holiday sights, catching a Broadway play and coming home broke?

Here’s a better idea.

Have dinner up in Shirlington and catch “Crazy For You” at Signature.

This is hands down as good as anything you’ll find in or out of state right now.

The secret is in the ingredients. Playwrighting all star Ken Ludwig turned his book writing skills to the music of George and Ira Gershwin, two bedrocks of the jazz era American musical, and the result was “Crazy For You”, the Tony and Drama Desk Best Musical award winner of 1992, and the Laurence Olivier winner in ‘93.

Loosely built from the 1930’s hit “Girl Crazy”, “Crazy For You” is a hybrid of Golden Age choreography and exuberance, and Ludwig’s seamless, witty handling of goshdarned optimism. (“The theatre is dying! Let’s put on a play and save it!”)

There is a humorous self-awareness about the show that, thanks to razor sharp focus and timing, never dips into overly sentimental territory. Corny on occasion, yes, but this is premium corn.

Directed by Matthew Gardiner, “Crazy For You” has been reconfigured to Signature’s accessible Max stage, and occasionally spills out into the audience. Denis Jones’ kick-your-lightsout choreography, whether performed by the Zangler Follies or tapped solo by our intrepid hero, is a major piece of the ‘wow’ factor.

Danny Gardner delights as Bobby Child, scion of a prominent N.Y. banking family. What’s money when you can dance? All he wants to do is tap dance in Bela Zangler’s Follies revues. His indominable Mother (the be-furred and imperious Sherri Edelen) will fix that. She sends him to Deadrock, Nevada to close on a moribund little theatre – and remove him from the ambitious clutches of his fiancée, Irene Roth (Natascia Diaz).

Deadrock is dying right along with the theatre where Polly Baker’s (Ashley Spencer) mother once performed – as we are frequently

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Minorities make a difference in communities As a citizen of Culpeper County, I am addressing an immense significance to the lives of minority groups throughout humanity— specifically of our community.

For centuries, minority groups have been involved in hate crimes and portrayed negatively. More recently in the rise of mass media,

Published every Thursday by Rappahannock Media LLC.

ADDRESS: 206 S. Main St., Suite 301 Culpeper, Va. 22701 PHONE: 540.812.2282 FAX: 540.812.2117 HOURS: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.

WEB: www.culpepertimes.com COURTESY PHOTO

'Crazy for You' is playing at Signature Theatre through Jan. 14. reminded by her charmingly distracted father, Everett (Harry Winter). In fact, Polly is the only woman left in town, so of course Bobby will fall in love with her at first sight, she will discover that he’s there to close the theatre, and so ban him from her sight forever. Being desperate and clever, he will reinvent himself as Bela Zangler, someone whom Polly CAN fall in love with.

Laughs, the usual mix-ups, and lots of song and dancing ensue.

“Crazy For You” borrowed and reinvented from the Gershwin canon, notably such stand-outs as “Things Are Looking Up”, “Someone To Watch Over Me”, and “They Can’t Take That From Me”; the voices are one and all equal to these classics. When the miners bang out “I Got Rhythm” on pots, tin cans, and old bath tubs, it’s all we can do not to stomp along.

My special favorites were “Slap That Bass” with the Nevada Miners; “What Causes That”, a diamond-sharp twin routine with Bobby as Zangler and the “real” Zangler; and hot tamale, Irene Roth, seducing Lank Hawkins (Cole Burden) in “Naughty Baby.”

Perennial favorite Thomas Simpson and Sherri Edelen appear as the Fodors, lost British tourists trying to map out the American west for travelers, who stay to encourage the ensemble in “Stiff Upper Lip.” All are performed to Jon Kalbfleisch’s live, hidden orchestra.

In spite of the precise alignment of look and movement, a few individual personalities emerged from the spangly line-up of Follies. Tess, for instance, (Mario Rizzo) whips everyone including the miners into disciplined formations, those of ethnic decent come off as aggressive, lower social economic status, and inferior compared to white supremacy. According to the 2015 FBI: UCR Latinos consisted of 20.8 percent arrests in the United States juxtaposed to 79.2 percent non-Latinos.

This injustice and inequality that remains is indispensable, especially in media forms which we should ensure that where you come from is not who you are or defined by your ethnic standing.

Paul Tate Depoo’s scene design, complemented by Jason Lyons’ lights, whisks us from the heart of glittering Broadway to the remote desert outposts of Nevada in the blink of a scene change and back again.

Of course we find ourselves inside the old Deadrock hotel and theatre where sepia posters of long forgotten performances and delicate stained glass borders magically evoke an age when even vaudeville came to the desert.

Not all classics need, or are even improved by revisiting. The show lighting up Signature’s Max isn’t even “Girl Crazy”, but a sharper incarnation of the Gershwins’ music set to themes that refuse to give in to despair at the height of the Depression. It’s gorgeous, it’s uplifting, and it’s just plain fun.

Apprehending this controversy not only ensures the welfare of minority groups but children as well. Children hold the estate for the future and reinforcing this unfavorable pattern of minorities in media is cultivating what our future is foreshadowing.

Definitively, media is how we receive information of ethnic groups, and the way these groups are defined is permanent.

Dodson signs to play lacrosse at D-I Hartford

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Raegan Dodson’s work ethic paid off.

The Highland School senior signed with the University of Hartford Nov. 20 to play women’s lacrosse for the school’s second-year program.

“I’m overwhelmed with excitement,” Dodson said. “I’m excited to help other people grow as a team.”

Dodson, who helped lead the Highland Hawks to back-to-back state titles with a 35-0 run last season, said she was drawn to Hartford because she wanted to make an impact on a younger program.

“I think I picked Hartford mainly because it was a fledgling program,” Raegan said. “It’s really nice knowing you’re going to go in immediately and have an impact. You can help the team grow more so than if you were on a team that just won four national championships.”

She pointed out that women’s lacrosse is not as popular as the men’s counterpart, but she wants to be a role model to bring more girls into the sport.

“I especially want to get younger

kids involved because I know the sport is not as popular with women,” Raegan said. “It’s just really important to keep it alive and make it more evident that women can play this sport. You have to have a good mindset to do it and it promotes a lot of self confidence. It’s really important to me to try and help expand that.”

Dodson prides herself on her work ethic, but even she had to take a step back to decide if she wanted to continue to press on getting up early in the mornings to train to play a Division I sport. It didn’t take long to come up with the answer.

“I was definitely questioning it, I asked myself if I wanted to get up at 5 in the morning and go to lift sessions and go running,” Dodson said.

“I’ve just been doing it for so long I just can’t see myself not doing it.”

Dodson started playing lacrosse in the sixth grade and has been on the varsity squad for Highland since the eighth grade. She saw her older sister Sidney play softball and decided that she wanted to try something different.

She tried lacrosse one day and fell in love. Since then, she’s dedicated herself to being the best pos-

“I get most of it from my mom,” Dodson said of her work ethic. “She really imprinted on me that things aren’t going to be handed to you, you have to work hard for it for yourself.”

Gayle Dodson, who owns Delilicious in Downtown Culpeper said that she’s proud of her daughter accomplishing her goals.

“This is what she wanted and this is why she played lacrosse for, Gayle said. “If you want something, you go out and work hard to get it, and she’s worked hard.”
