LOCAL NEWS Garris honored during Crime Victims Right Week ➤ Annual luncheon brings to light the challenges those dealing with homicide in their families face daily

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Melissa Garris was awarded the advocacy award by the Culpeper Victim/Witness Program Friday as part of Crime Victims Rights Week.

Garris hosts counseling for co-homicide survivors group, of which members Helen Clanagan and Denise Waters were on hand to congratulate her and thank her for her work with the program.

“This is very humbling because as you heard, it’s really a privilege to work with them and there are so many others that can benefit from you support,” Garris said. “Please spread the word about coping through homicide. Mark and Karah have been great to help facilitate to do this. There’s so many people in our county that need help. Counseling is one thing, but when you support one another because of a shared experience, there’s healing in that.”

Clanagan and Waters shared their stories of losing family members with the members of the crowd, many of which were law enforcement.

Clanagan’s grandson Corey, was killed Oct. 31 2014 at a Halloween party along Cherry Hill Road. He was stabbed 24 times by a man he just met that night.

She relayed a story of coincidence, how prior to the luncheon she was on her way into town when an accident diverted her to a route she wasn’t familiar with. Suddenly, she was on

Cherry Hill road, passing the very house Corey was killed at. Moments like those still shake her.

“Corey had so much to live for, he had just finished high school and had started a new job,” Clanagan said.

“His life was taken by someone who didn’t care about his life or his family.”

Corey was a person who would do anything for anyone else. He shared his lunch at school with kids who didn't have money to buy lunch. He would take new shoes from his mother to give to girls at school. He had his whole life to live, Clanagan said.

She praised Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office investigator Justin Brown with helping obtain a first degree murder verdict with life in prison for Corey’s killer and thanked Culpeper Victim/Witness Program director Mark Nowacki and assistant

director Karah Thompson for their love and support.

“Today, I thank Justin for all he’s done, he worked so hard on this case along with the sheriff’s department,” Clanagan said. “They (Mark and Karah) still work with us, nearly every day I call Mark and if I need answers for anything they are there for us.”

She said Garris support has been amazing and thanked Team Jordan for sponsoring her and Waters to attend a Parents of Murdered Children conference in Washington, D.C. Waters teared up as she recalled the life of her son Roger Davis, killed March 6, 2018 in the Shanktown area of Reva Road. He had gotten off work at 8:30 a.m. at Cintas and by 9 a.m .was killed. He was shot in his car, made it to the Reva Market where he met first responders, but he

didn’t make it. A year later, the case has not been solved. He left behind two sons and a young daughter.

“I know I’m supposed to speak to you all about Roger, but I want to speak to y’all about the effect it’s had on us as a family,” Waters said.

“It caused me to go to my doctor and be prescribed antidepressants. It call came from the trauma our family has sustained. It’s hard for me knowing this case hasn’t been solved to go out in society like I used to. I’m constantly looking around because I don’t know who I’m speaking to, I don’t know if I’m speaking to his murderer.”

She said the hardest thing she had to do was tell her grandson that “Uncle Ra-Ra” wasn’t coming back.

“My life isn’t normal anymore,” Waters said. “My life has been turned upside down.”

COMMUNITY NEWS

Culpeper Sheriff Partners with Civil Defense Group Hurricane Katrina was a one hundred and sixty mile an hour freight train that slammed through New Orleans. Twelve hundred people are estimated to have died during that storm in August of 2005 and even more memorable were the survivors left to find water and other necessities in the ruin.

Imagine if that were Culpeper. Large swaths in darkness as the electric grid lay tangled on the ground, hillsides collapsing under the weight of water, bridges swept away by our rivers and consequently the normal flow of food and medicine cut off for weeks.

While terrible to contemplate that is exactly what some Culpeper citizens have been doing: asking the hard questions surrounding survival after such a disaster. Who will respond?

How will people be saved? How can we prepare? Al Swann, Don Doyle and other founding members of the Culpeper County Civil Defense Association decided it was time to put discussion into action and as a result they reached out to the Culpeper County Sheriff for support.

Coincidentally, the issue of disaster preparedness has been an ongoing concern for Culpeper Sheriff Scott Jenkins since he first became Sheriff, so the partnership between the emerging effort spearheaded by the two men and Sheriff Jenkins was a natural fit.

“It is important to prepare for disaster before it occurs, not scramble to react afterward,” Sheriff Jenkins said in a statement announcing the partnership. “We all hope that a disaster never happens, but if it does, our first responders may not be able to reach everyone who needs help.

Identifying and building this capacity in each neighborhood will help make us better prepared if the unthinkable happens,” Jenkins said.

The intent is to have people help and care for each other, until normal emergency services become available.

Now with the announcement of the partnership, the CCCDA is launching its initial Level I training effort with the “Map Your Neighborhood” (MYN) program. This program guides residents to get to know their neighbors within their neighborhoods and in the process, identify resources within the neighborhood to help respond to disaster and who may need additional assistance, like the elderly, disabled or children home alone. It is built on preparedness at home, extending to the neighborhood and then to the larger community.

The CCCDA has acquired MYN packets from a program used in Washington State that has proven to be easy to use, implement and sustain.

The packet is entitled “Nine Steps-immediately following a disaster,” Neighborhood Gathering Site and Care Center, Neighborhood Skills and Equipment Inventory, Guidelines for Neighborhood Mapping and finally Your Neighborhood Map and Contact

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

Abigail Stern (Editor's note: This is weekly series highlighting members of Culpeper's Youth Council.

To join Culpeper Youth, go to www.culpeperyouth.org to apply.)

A downside of technology- digital mapping On February 24, 2015 there was a fatal crash involving a tractor-trailer and a train caused by a mistake by the tractor-trailer driver when trying to read a digital map. The driver misread the map because the map was not labeled properly, then took a wrong turn and ended up in the middle of a railroad crossing where only seconds later a train ran into it. This accident killed the conductor of the train and injured 32 people. Last year alone there were almost 200 fatal accidents involving railroads and mapping technology.

There has been an investigation for the past two years that resulted in the conclusion that they will have to label railroad crossings better on digital maps. The rail agencies sent out alerts to Apple and Microsoft informing them of the incident and telling them they needed to add alerts to the maps of railroad crossings. Apple and multiple different companies are on board with the idea to add better alerts but have not done so yet.

None of the updated google maps include this feature. A spokeswoman representing google said the reason they have not added this feature in yet is because they have not figured out a way to do it.

During a speech on September 15, 2017 Mrs. Feinberg readdressed the issue and restated the fact that railroad fatalities aren’t due to drivers trying to “beat the train” but due to drivers “losing situational awareness,” as Mrs.Feinberg said in her speech. She also called out technology companies for not making this a top priority of theirs because this could save lives.The railroad agencies can also try to convince congress to give money to these companies as motivation to move forward with the new updates. Digital maps have trumped the use of paper maps. Roughly one billion people use mapping apps globally each week. This is why updating these apps should be their main priority.

Not only are the apps and issue in these situations. Railroad crossings need to be labeled better in order to warn drivers. At some of them there are not even lights or a barrier to stop people from crossing the tracks when they are unaware of a train coming. Along with the digital maps that are difficult to read and the railroad crossings that are not labeled, this is a recipe for disaster.

List.

CCCDA is also becoming a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), a FEMA program that provides their Level II certified training in areas of disaster preparedness, medical operations, fire suppression, and light search and rescue. It requires a local sponsor and Sheriff Jenkins is sponsoring this effort also.

The CCCDA meets the third

➤ Special Games, from Page 5 with differing abilities have become closer - pointing to the crowd at Culpeper County High School’s Broman Field.

Students flowed from the classroom to the seats to cheer on their classmates.

“I have seen a lot of improvement with that,” Calabrese said.

“The atmosphere around the building are a lot different since these programs (including the Medford Basketball League) have started. I see a lot more of camaraderie in the hallway.”

Angie Neely, Executive Director of Special Education for Culpeper County Public Schools, said it was part of a state initiative called “I’m determined” that helps enable students understand their disabilities and their strengths.

“It’s an awesome day and we look forward to it every year,” Neely said. “We look forward to it every year. Showing their abilities, not their disabilities - it’s an amazing day. The inclusiveness is amazing because even kids without disabilities, there’s an innate sense of inclusiveness at the schools.”

Sharon Gregory, adaptive physical education teacher for Orange County, pointed out she’s had interaction with students from many of the school districts and loves seeing the students she’s taught over the years.

Many ran up and hugged her

as they went from the track, to the softball throw and the long jump.

“It’s incredible to watch,” Gregory said. “They get to see friends that they’ve met, through this event or other events and it’s just a nice day to celebrate.”

Orndorff says goodbye to Culpeper United Methodist Church after 15 years

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Pastor Randy Orndorff has always had the view of “grow where you’re planted.”

Fifteen years ago, Orndorff and his family were uprooted from their 15-year appointment in Riverton United Methodist Church in Front Royal and transplanted in Culpeper.

At Culpeper United Methodist Church, the Orndorff family began to put down new roots.

With love and compassion serving as fertilizer, the roots grew to that akin to an Aspen Grove.

Through love, loss, joy and pain - the Orndorff family and the Culpeper community has grown together.

Now, those roots will be transplanted again, as Orndorff was recently named the new pastor of Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Alexandria, effective June 29. His last sermon in Culpeper will fittingly enough be Father’s Day. “This is like pulling up roots, because our lives have become very deeply rooted into the Culpeper community,” Orndorff said. “We’re all very intricately connected. That’s why some of the challenges emotionally are there, because of the love and care and the highs and lows of life we’ve shared with so many people.”

Growing the church Orndorff, his wife Lee Anne, his sons Jordan and Josh and his daughter Kelsey moved to Culpeper in 2004 after serving at Riverton for 15 years. As part of the Methodist Church, pastors are moved around as part of an interient system - with the Bishop matching up the needs of the congregation with the skills of the pastor. Most clergy stay at a church for four to five years, Orndorff said, pointing out that he’s been blessed to be in two congregations for a total of 30 years.

“It’s great because it allows you to work with a group of people and put some roots down,” Orndorff said. “I think the strength of

the ministry is relating with people to help people to find their place with their gifts and their abilities, to serve God.” Orndorff points to several programs at CUMC that started because members of the congregation approached him about helping the community. The church hosts Empowering Culpeper, a USDA food distribution program, every third Saturday of the month thanks to Marian Dykes reaching out to him about helping feed those in need in the area.

“It’s about partnering with people, it’s not just what our church can do and our people can do,” Orndorff said.

Another program that started because of a need in the community was Power Pack, when Jennifer Hulse reached out to Orndorff about feeding students in the Culpeper area.

The program has just marked seven years and is in every elementary school in the county and has fed up to 300 students on the weekend. Hulse now works with 14 churches and several local businesses to help provide meals for kids.

“God had actually put that in my heart to do that, I just prayed about it and one day Jen Hulse walked in the door and said ‘I have this idea,’” Orndorff said. “I said that’s a wonderful idea, let’s go do it.”

Orndorff admits his scope is limited as he’s served as pastor or just two congregations in the past 30 years, but he says that Culpeper has a special connection to its residents and everyone attempts to help in times of need.

“I do know that this community is very responsive to the people with needs in this community,” Orndorff said. “Through the churches, through Healthy Culpeper, through the police department and the sheriff’s department, there’s a working together to try to meet those needs.”

CUMC has also addressed those in need through disaster relief, serving as a HUB for Mission Central providing cleaning buckets ➤ See Orndorff, Page 7

Culpeper Times • April 18-24, 2019

➤ Orndorff, from Page 6 and health kits for areas hit by disasters. The HUB started after a group took a trip to Mission Central in Pennsylvania three years ago.

The church took its first mission trip after Hurricane Katrina and since they’ve been involved in disaster relief in New York, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

He says the church’s missions have grown exponentially since he arrived - having served in Chile, Cuba, Honduras and throughout the United States.

Looking closer to home, he highlights his congregations gift of music and how that has helped draw the church and the community closer together.

“I would say one of the strong suits of this church when I got here, and still is, is our music ministry,” Orndorff said. “One of the things that was really great, that we don’t do anymore, was when Mrs. Greeley did the Passion Plays. They were fantastic, He’s Alive.”

He also points to the church’s work with youth, the formation of the Culpeper United Methodist Church preschool in 2009 serving as a shining beacon of helping bring God into the lives of young children.

The focus on youth and bringing the community together was a passion of his daughter Kelsey, who was tragically killed on Aug. 28, 2008.

Kelsey’s legacy Orndorff’s eyes fill with tears as he recalls the days following the loss of his daughter in a car accident along Route 3. Kelsey, so full of life, so full of love for her community, was on her way to a Chris Sligh concert. Just outside of Stevensburg, her car went off the road.

She was just 17.

“Our loss was our church’s loss, that transferred over, it seemed to me, to be our community’s loss,” Orndorff said. “It felt that broad. I don’t know if I understood that immediately.

The response, the love and care of this community was really overwhelming.”

Serving as a pastor, Orndorff has had to deliver bad news to many parents. It’s a feeling he can empathize with, a feeling that he hopes no parent has to endure.

“I think most people that have lost a kid, especially a young kid, there’s no greater feeling of grief, no greater feeling of hopelessness,” Orndorff said. “There’s no darker time in life that you would go through, than when you lose a son or daughter.”

The community and the church rallied around the young family. They held services in memory of Kelsey, they organized a concert in Culpeper with Chris Sligh headlining. The money they raised helped form and support her lasting legacy - Kelsey’s Big Give. Now in its 10th year, the Big Give - formulated by Kesley and a friend as a way to give back - has helped with approximately 250 projects.

Will it continue now that the Orndorff family is gone?

“That’s a decision this congregation will have to make,” Orndorff said. “That was her passion, was sharing good news and hope with other people. Not for her, but for God’s glory. Kelsey’s missions will live on in various ways and various forms. It could stay here, it could move with us to Alexandria.”

Favorite memories of Culpeper With Orndorff leaving, Culpeper’s new pas-

Local News

tor John Hemming will take over in late June.

He comes with a similar family life - two sons and a daughter and Ordnorff hopes that his family will be embraced the same way his has.

He smiles broadly when he thinks about the memories he’s created while here, the lasting friendships and connections that have been forged.

“I’ve always loved the Fourth of July events at Culpeper and being down at Yowell Meadow Park,” Orndorff said. “The parade, being down at the park, being with the Fellows family (Norma Jean and Art) and giving hayrides through the park. Playing in church league softball, the friendships we’ve made. My pastor friends that I’ve met and the friendships we’ve built in times of prayer in services we’ve planned together with the whole intent of trying to bring unity.”

As part of the Methodist plan, he will not preach or perform weddings in Culpeper, as a way to give Hemming a chance to make his own connections. He also points out that in leaving the 1,600 member CUMC for the 2,400 member Aldersgate, his attention must be on his new congregation.

That doesn’t mean he won’t be seen in Culpeper - his youngest son Jordan is working as a substitute teacher in Culpeper County Public Schools and coaches baseball at Culpeper County High School. His oldest son Josh is married to Michelle Chapman, of Culpeper, and they have two young sons.

“Culpeper will always be on our radar,” Orndorff said. “As Methodist clergy we are asked not to come back to give the new pastor an opportunity to get a foothold, there will be times we are back in Culpeper because of our family connections here.”

Being community minded has always been at the forefront of his ministry, and he points again to the congregation following his lead.

He pointed out Ed and Gloria Long, who lost their son Ben to suicide, for starting the Living the Dream Foundation.

“One of the things we’ve tried to do is walk alongside families like the Long family, with the Living the Dream Foundation,” Orndorff said. “To watch Ed and Gloria out of their pain do something similar to what we did with Kelsey’s Big Give. It grew out of them seeing how we dealt with it. It’s been good to support them going through that, it’s been very hard.”

While Culpeper is a lovely town and a welcoming community, he admits there’s a darkside - referencing the opioid epidemic and the issues of suicide, depression and bullying. It’s something he isn’t afraid to address.

“First off, you talk about it, you talk about it from the pulpit and you engage in the activities where people are getting hope,” Orndorff said. “You work hard in connecting people with the resources they need.”

In doing so, he hopes those in need of hope are able to put down roots in the same way he has.

“I have learned a lot in 15 years,” Orndorff said. “I’ve learned a lot through working with staff, I’ve learned a lot through small group Bible studies.

"Through Starting Point I’ve heard many people’s stories of faith and how Christ has transformed their lives. I’ll go away being a better person, us being a better family because we’ve had the experience of living and serving in Culpeper and being part of a community that I think overall loves God and cares for God’s people.”

When she came out of her queen cell, she was looking at fighting to the death with the old queen (we had already moved the old queen to another hive).

She is quick! She has been very busy spreading her pheromones throughout the hive.

And has killed the other three virgin queens that had not made it out of their queen cells. Bee life is brutal people! I'll keep you posted.

Today is April 16 and the new virgin queen has not left the hive as of yet to take her maiden flight to breed with numerous drones (males) that are waiting for virgin queens to mate with.

The normal time from emerging from her queen cell to taking flight is usually 10 days.

When she has finished mating, she will then return to our observation hive and start laying eggs, this was some kind of wonderful, truly amazing

Culpeper Literacy Council helps seniors with health literacy

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Culpeper Literacy Council partnered with the Culpeper Wellness Foundation to help teach seniors at the Culpeper Senior Center health literacy.

The eight-week program helped provide health literacy to individuals in the community and then helps train medical professionals to identify behaviors or language barriers for someone lacking health literacy said Leslie Mary, with the Culpeper Literacy Council.

“It gives health literacy to individuals that normally wouldn’t have health literacy,” Maryk said. “It gives them the opportunity to understand medical terminology, current healthcare topics and what’s considered a standard processing practice.”

Taught by Literacy Council member Rita Nickle and Free Clinic of Culpeper volunteer Norma Kaiser, seniors navigated medical terminology and came up with questions to ask their doctors on their next visit.

“They love it, it was one of their favorite programs,” said Culpeper Senior Center coordinator Gladys Williams said. “They did more talking and preparing for this program than the average one that we have.”

The senior center helps set up appointments for seniors, but this has helped them navigate what it means when they are given medicine or certain terms.

“It helped to enlighten them for what was in store in some of the areas they could turn to for help,” Williams said. “They learned a lot of things they didn’t know that was out there for them.”

Betty Edwards beamed with pride when she received her certificate for completing the program.

She was one of nine seniors that were honored Monday.

“I learned a lot, it was very exciting,” she said. “A lot of things I

The Culpeper Literacy Council, Culpeper Wellness Foundation and the Culpeper Senior Center partnered to help seniors with health literacy during a recent program. learned that I didn’t understand at first when I went to the doctor, by having this I learned some things I should do and shouldn’t do.”

She praised the work of Nickle and Kaiser.

“They broke it down so well because you could understand it easily and if you didn’t you felt free to go back to them and ask questions,” Edwards said. “I have a lot of questions for my doctor this month when I go for my check up.”

Nickle and Kaiser were trained through the College of Mary Washington and were excited to share their knowledge with the seniors.

“When we first knew we would be coming here and knew it would be seniors, I first thought to myself we’re going to have trouble keeping their attention,” Nickle said. “They were so engaged the entire time. Every week they were ready to go.”

Kaiser said the enthusiasm the seniors showed was contagious.

“It was the highlight of the whole two months that we did it, I couldn’t wait to get down here,” Kaiser said.

“They are so much fun.”

Kaiser also said that the fact Medicaid expanded, more people are going into the system.

“I don’t think the thirst for learning ever goes away,” Maryk said.

“Let’s face it, medical procedures and terminology are changing at a rapid pace.”

Chris Miller, executive director, Culpeper Free Clinic, said that clinic workers are seeing more people who require an understanding of what terms mean.

“It’s part of the whole mission of the Culpeper Wellness Foundation, to help people be as healthy as they can,” she said. “At the Free Clinic we see all the time that we can talk to people at the doctor’s office but if you can’t translate that when you go home, you’re not as healthy as you can be. When literacy contacted us about partnering we said of course.”

Williams said another eight-week course is being offered in the summer.

Give Local Piedmont prime fundraiser for NPCF In the offices of the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF), a portion of administrative hours are spent in data gathering and analysis. There are a great many benefits to studying data.

What is often surprising is the emotional response that accompanies data fact-finding. We stare at black and red numbers on a white page in our excel software, yet those numbers are loaded with meaning and feeling and represent people’s action, commitment and passion.

Recently, NPCF compiled a comprehensive data spreadsheet on all the activity of the past five years for Give Local Piedmont. If you are not aware or have not heard the term “Give Local…”, this one day, (May 7 this year) acclaimed nationally, and dedicated to giving, was created to honor the 100th anniversary of the advent of community foundations.

That celebratory fact coupled with harnessing crowdfunding, by using new and simple technologies, now connects communities, nonprofits, and individuals in supporting a national fundraising day founded on the principle of local giving.

Hosted by Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, Give Local Piedmont is the region's one-day, online giving event. This important campaign inspires community members to donate dollars to our neighbor nonprofit organizations that are making our region increasingly more dynamic. With the vigor of the Piedmont’s local media, a rise and focused use of social media, and influential support of local business, the success of this one day is, in a few instances, greater than some of our nonprofits realize all year. How often does one witness, in one single day, volunteers, donors, foundations, local organizations, media, and large and small business folk come together with common purpose—to invigorate and strengthen the very heart of these communities through the energy of crowdfunding.

Cole Johnson, former Executive Director of NPCF and the person responsible for making a strategic decision in engaging this region in

Give Local, said very plainly and without emotion, “I didn’t sleep for 6 weeks before the day.” From where NPCF sits now, even with 5 successful years of GLP in which over $4 million has been raised for our area nonprofits, it is easy to relate to her anxiety. Although Caren Eastham was not a board member at the time, she is a current board member and her husband Wayne has also served and was a founding member of NPCF. Caren is by trade a money person. Her professional role in life is the Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer for Oak View National Bank. Her own sense was that, although she was apprehensive, if $50k was raised by GLP in that first year, then great. The “nothing ventured, nothing gained” concept that, in fact, makes an acceptance at possibly raising $50,000 all the sweeter when, the tally for the day arrived at $675,000, with over 3,300 people donating.

After year one in 2014, the management of Give Local Piedmont fell to NPCF’s current Executive Director, Jane Bowling-Wilson. Indeed, year one was wonderful. Perhaps the greater task was to not only to repeat, but improve. Ms. Bowling-Wilson has advanced the continued growth of GLP in giving to just under $4.0 million in those years. Her stewardship and commitment has been inspiring as she and her staff begin work 6 months out to raise awareness, train all participants in how to capitalize on this event, while working through hundreds of small details on a daily basis. One of the more recent changes and benefits to Give Local during Bowling-Wilson’s tenure, is the introduction of advance giving.

Giving opportunities are open three weeks in advance of the May day.

This year, that May day is May 7. And the first giving opportunities will begin on April 23.

For participating nonprofits, this is a happy day. Culpeper County has 49 nonprofits enrolled for Give Local Piedmont this year. In the past 5 years, Culpeper County participating nonprofits have raised

IMMEDIATE OPENING! We are looking for a friendly, dependable PART-TIME DRIVER to deliver the Culpeper Times once a week on Thursday mornings to area businesses throughout Culpeper & Orange.

close to $500,000 for their community services and dedication.

Mark your calendars as May 7 will be here sooner than we all are able to imagine.

Information for Give Local Piedmont may be found on the website dedicated to this day www.givelocalpiedmont.org. And for those wanting to give, this website is a terrific resource to study local organizations and the work they do for us in our Northern Piedmont –

an astounding area by its physical beauty and in its citizens and their commitment to creating a livable, productive region for all.

Established in 2000, the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation is a public charity that builds philanthropic capital to enhance and preserve the quality of life in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock counties and to strengthen the region’s nonprofit organizations.

‘Debt, lies, greed and 'junk' – is there a problem?

The only surprising thing about Ayad Akhtar’s play, “Junk”, is that we should be surprised. For all the high energy pacing, the intense, backroom powerbroking, and the how-the-mightyare-fallen denouement, nothing about the fact that people are greedy is surprising. Maybe we should just be startled at the scale.

“Junk” enjoyed a brief but respectable run on Broadway in 2017 and garnered a 2018 Tony nomination for Best Play. Now at Arena Stage under the precise direction of Jackie Maxwell, “Junk” is receiving as polished a treatment as one could wish for. And because the story is based on not-so-distant history, we know how it’s going to turn out – and are still spellbound.

Remember the junk bond scandal of the 1980s? That sudden, ballooning tower of risk and wealth created by the self-styled “Masters of the Universe” may have been difficult for the average person to understand,

CURTAIN CALLS

Maggie Lawrence

but one thing was clear – the whole scheme was designed to suck something out of nothing. Of course it eventually exploded, and the financial shrapnel was still being felt down to the housing bubble of 2007.

Akhtar’s play doesn’t recreate that exact crisis, but the comparison with “junk bond king” Michael Milken, who is now presumably living a life of quiet good works, is impossible to ignore. In his place we have Robert Merkin, (Thomas Keegan) a young N.Y. investment banker laser-focused on bending the system to his will while receiving unwelcome attention (a Time magazine cover) to his success.

Merkin moves in a tight circle of like-minded raiders who flatter themselves as visionaries, financial lions thriving in a modern Darwinian jungle. There is also a hint that their Jewishness and the historical exclusion of Jews from this “old boys” club adds a soupcon of spice to their raids on old established corporations.

Chief among them are lawyer, Raul Rivera, (Perry Young) and client Izzy Peterman (Jonathan Martin), whose lust for corporate raiding has no limit.

Doesn’t matter what the corporation produces or how many workers it employs, its debt represents value and

Thomas Everson, Jr., (Ed Gero) son of the founder, is the only person who demonstrates what used to be considered reciprocal loyalty – management that cares for its employees, and workers who give their entire working lives to one company.

But even the desperate Everson must

resort to book-cooking to create the appearance of value to ward off hostile raiders.

He has one hope – investment from a silver-templed billionaire named Leo Tresler (David MacDonald) whose old style business ethic is revulsed by junk traders. ➤ See Curtain Calls, Page 25

➤ Curtain Calls, from Page 18 That quiet emanation of power and money does net him one thing - an affair with financial writer Judy Chen (Nancy Sun) whose scavenging for information in dark places is no less focused than the Wall Street wolves around her. Leo isn’t the only one who succumbs to the philosophy that “A man is what he has.”

Let’s not pretend that anyone is above deceiving their own tribe.

Merkin’s gang is receiving inside information from an informer at Everson; meanwhile Merkin and the slimy Boris Pronsky (Elan Zafir), Prince of Darkness, exchange information to their mutual profit.

And if one man can represent all the sadly snookered private citizens who fall prey to hustlers like Merkin (and Madoff) it’s Murray Lefkowitz (Michael Russotto), desperate not to lose millions of his wife’s money.

And then there’s Amy Merkin, (Shanara Gabrielle) wife and lawyer.

While her husband doesn’t really care about people losing their jobs, he at least cares about being seen as a ‘job killer.’ She shrugs it off. But even she draws the line at dealings with Pronsky.

We can hail the SEC as they conduct their wire-tapped information gathering campaign, knowing that a well-deserved downfall is imminent.

Misha Kachman’s scene design accentuates the Arena space with illuminated square tables anchoring the four corners, and clear “X” aisles where power-tailored assistants hustle files and carts importantly through the center. Lighting by Jason Lyons illuminates with magical realism the two-party telephone conversations, the Manhattan corner office effect, the unnatural light of an empty parking deck, and the public gathering space where a CEO plaintively addressing his employees and stockholders (played by the audience) begs for optimism and a little more time.

This handsome production negotiates the twists and turns of the story at a pace that would be head-spinning but for the clarity of the performances. At its heart, Merkin, the new plastic oracle of finance, claims that “debt is an

Weekly Tarotscope - April 18 Knight of Cups, 2 of Swords TAROTSCOPES

The Knight of Cups encourages Cara Cutro us to move forward with care and grace this week.

Knights are often representative of the energy of movement.

A knight is traditionally thought to be on a mission of sorts. They are on a defined path with direction. In the case of the Knight of Cups, we are being asked to move gently, even romantically- with care for ourselves and others. When life seems challenging, scary, or difficult, instead of armoring up it will be wiser and more effective to stay open and kind. This card may also indicate an offer of some sort or an approach from someone toward you with this type of energy. If you are questioning someone’s motives, know that they are pure and coming from a place of love and support.

The 2 of Swords is an interesting match with the Knight of Cups.

This combination may represent one individual approaching another who

might appear to be shut down or closed off. I think the message is to approach this person effectively by embodying the qualities of the Knight of Cups described above. It’s also important to note that if you have approached a person in this way, they may need a minute to process. Give them the time and space to do some inner reflection.

Any one of us could be on either side of this situation. We could also look at this from a completely different angle, one in which the combined message is to go gently and compassionately toward ourselves and others while taking time to go within, take a break, and process before we decide what to do next.

Sometimes we all just need to shut down for a minute and reboot to move forward properly and take the next step in our journey.
