Youth Development Center remains relevant By Tom Crosby

uring the past two decades, tens of thousands of middle and high school students from Winchester and Frederick and Clarke Counties have participated in the programs and facilities at Winchester’s Youth Development Center (YDC). It’s a beacon for diverse, eclectic activities that currently includes Spanish language classes, non-contact boxing for people with Parkinson’s disease, a regular Sunday church service, a daily classroom for a school and basketball practice for two high schools.

More than 50 percent of area middle and high school students from the city and Frederick and Clarke Counties participate in YDC programs, according to Executive Director Regina O’Brien.

“We are a safe haven,” said the hands-on, affable, no-nonsense O’Brien. She has been the only full-time employee of the YDC ever since the Gerald F. Smith Activity Building was dedicated in December 1995 and hosted its first high school dance the following month.

Mike Lindsay, YDC chairman of the 22member board, said O’Brien is the heart and soul of the organization.

YDC facilities are free for school events and anyone can rent space for a birthday

party, reunion, reception, baby shower, meetings etc. It is staffed 12 hours a day. “We will host anyone, within reason,” said O’Brien, a New York native who holds a master’s degree in education from Columbia University and was a teacher and school administrator before coming to the YDC. When she arrived, the YDC was three buildings on Shawnee Drive across for the now Trex Company housing several nonprofits helping young people, created as the brainchild of Tom and Sheila Baker. The Bakers founded Special Love, one of the nonprofits, to help children and families suffering from cancer after their daughter died from lymphoma. Later, they donated their home and 3 acres of land to jump-start YDC. “It’s a unique concept,” said O’Brien since the nonprofits don’t pay rent. The YDC maintains the grounds and does major repairs while the nonprofits pay utilities and do small repairs. Five years after its creation, following a contiguous 3-acre donation by the O’Sullivan Corporation and a successful $1.5 million campaign, the YDC activity center was built, followed in 2006 by the $1.6 million annex.

Youth Development Center Rules of Conduct • No disrespect of other members or YDC staff or volunteers. • No drugs, alcohol or related paraphilia. • No excessive display of affection. • No loitering anywhere on the YDCʼs campus • No vandalism, fighting, use of profanity nor weapons possession is permitted. • Upon admission to the facility, members may not leave an activity and return the same evening.

but say we don’t do that here. They say they’re sorry and life goes on,” she added. “We take pride in having good will. We are kind and generous to those we work with and we understand adolescents.” A continuing challenge is getting students to the activity center when school ends, since often both parents work and the kids have nowhere to go. “It’s tough for kids to get here in the afternoon,” said O’Brien. “We are working on it.”

O’Brien said she feels the YDC is “totally plugged into the community. We have an outstanding board of directors and a (eight member) honorary board and through them From the beginning, a code of conduct was a great relationship with the city and counwritten by students and “We have had very ty.” few problems over the past 20 years,” said Today, the YDC consists of four brick O’Brien. buildings that provide space for Big “We respect them, provide dignity for what Brother, Big Sisters; Boy Scouts of they do and understand they may not yet America; Child Advocacy Network; ARC have the maturity to act appropriately at all of Northern Shenandoah Valley; Shawnee times,” she said.

The Benefits

to buying local this holiday season H oliday shopping dominates many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free time between the day after Thanksgiving and the final days before Christmas. While many people may shop â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;til they drop on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, those days still account for a relatively small amount of the hundreds of billions of dollars that are spent each holiday season.

Shoppers now have a bevy of options at their disposal as they embark on holiday shopping season. Traditional in-store retailers are still around, and online shopping continues to grow in popularity with each holiday season. But many holiday shoppers are looking to buy local this holiday season, and such a decision can pay a host of dividends for both shoppers and the communities they call home. Buying local benefits your local economy. Studies from Civic Economics, an economics and strategics planning firm, found that independent, locally-owned retailers return a far greater percentage of their revenue into their local economies than national chain stores. One such study examined the disparity between revenue recirculation among independent, locallyowned businesses in Raleigh, North Carolina, versus four major national chains in the city. The former recirculated 51.1 percent of revenue into the local economy, while the latter recirculated less than 14 percent. Similar results were discovered in many cities, indicating that buying local not only benefits local business owners, but also the communities those owners and their customers call home. Buying local creates jobs in your community. One of the biggest ways local business owners in Raleigh recirculated

their revenue in the local economy was job creation. While national chains also create jobs, such jobs only benefit your community if the chains are located within your community. If your local mall is a considerable drive away, chances are the chains within that mall are not employing many of your fellow community members. Local businesses in your community are more likely to employ residents of your town. Shopping local may provide access to more unique gifts. In addition to the economic benefits of buying local, shoppers may find merchandise made by local craftsmen is more unique than mass-produced items found on the shelves of national retailers. Recipients may cherish more unique items that they cannot find on their own, and that appreciation may even spur them to visit more local retailers after the holiday season has come and gone, benefiting their own communities in so doing. Local business may provide a more personal touch. Buying from national chains has its advantages, but customer service is not always one of them. Should your loved ones encounter problems with their gift that requires assistance, they might be forced to wait on the phone for extended periods of time as they and thousands of others wait for customer service representatives to answer their calls. Local businesses do not deal with nearly the volume of customers as national retailers and, therefore, are capable of addressing concerns more quickly and personally than large chains. Buying local not only benefits small business owners, but it also pays dividends for their customers and the communities they call home.

Free Hearing Tests set for Shenandoah Valley Area Age 55+ Free electronic hearing tests will be given during the month of November at select locations in the Shenandoah Valley. Tests have been arranged for anyone who suspects they are losing their hearing. Such persons generally say they can hear but cannot understand words. Testing with the latest computerized equipment will indicate if you can be helped. Everyone, especially adults over 55, should have an electronic hearing test at least once a year. If there is a hearing problem, hearing tests may reveal that newly developed methods or correction will help, even for those who have been told in the past that a hearing aid would not help them. If you suspect you have hearing loss, call for a free hearing test appointment. Our licensed specialists are trained in the latest auditory testing methods and will be the first ones to tell you if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a hearing aid. If you do have a hearing loss, we will explain your results and provide you with a list of options.

Protect

your purchases during the holidays H oliday shoppers spend billions of dollars during the holiday rush. Although the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day make up a season marked by giving and sharing joy with others, criminals are well aware that the holiday season can be a prime time to rip off consumers. Shoppers need to remain extra diligent to safeguard against theft and other not-so-jolly crimes.

At the store Be aware of your surroundings at all times while at the mall or other stores. Packages, wallets or purses should never be left unattended. Take notice if anyone is standing too close to you, asking them to respect your personal space if necessary. Try to reduce distractions while you do your holiday shopping. This may mean leaving the kids at home so you can focus better on the task at hand or letting incoming calls go to voicemail while you shop. Make frequent trips to the car so that you can free yourself of cumbersome packages. Being laden down with bags or boxes can make you an easy target for a thief.

In the parking lot Parking lots are notoriously crowded during the holiday season, so you may not be able to get an ideal spot. However, make every attempt to park near the entrance of the store or at least in a well-lit area of the lot. It gets dark early during the holiday season, and you want to feel safe bringing packages to your car. Store all items out of view, such as in the trunk. If you have an SUV, invest in a cargo bed cover that covers packages. If ever you do not feel comfortable walking to your vehicle alone, shop with a friend or ask a security guard to accompany you to your vehicle.

Purchasing power Paying cash for purchases can alleviate debt come the new year, but credit cards also have their advantages. Credit card companies do not hold cardholders accountable for unauthorized purchases made with a stolen card. This peace of mind can make it safer for shoppers to use credit cards over cash or debit cards when making their holiday purchases. If shopping takes you online, restrict buying to well-established businesses whose reputations can be verified. Make sure that purchases are made through a secure website or server to reduce your risk of falling victim to hackers.

Buddy system Packages left outside of empty homes can be ripe for the picking by thieves. Establish an agreement with neighbors that you will take in each other’s packages so they aren’t left unattended on front porches or in doorways.

How to

avoid the holiday shopping rush H

oliday shopping can be both fun and hectic. While it’s fun to scour stores looking for can’t-miss gifts for your loved ones, shopping amongst the crowds also can prove hectic. While online shopping has made department stores somewhat less crowded come the holiday season, the National Retail Federation notes that online shopping during the 2014 holiday season accounted for just one-sixth of all holiday shopping. The opportunity to see and feel potential gifts in person compels many people to do the majority of their holiday shopping in-store, and there are ways for such shoppers to avoid the holiday shopping rush as they begin their quests for the perfect gifts. Shop during off-peak hours. Weekends and weeknight evenings tend to be the busiest times to go holiday shopping. Professionals who have weekends off may put off their shopping during the week, choosing to do so on Saturday and Sunday afternoons when they have extra time to browse and comparison shop. Shopping off-peak hours, such as during weekday mornings or even early mornings on weekends, is a great way to avoid crowds. Parents of young children might want to take a morning or even a full day off of work to get their holiday shopping done so they can avoid shopping with their kids in tow. You can probably move around more quickly if you choose to shop while the kids are in school, and this also affords you time to find gifts for the kids. Make a list. Knowing what you want to buy online can decrease the amount of time you spend wandering around malls and stores. The longer you linger without an idea of what to buy, the greater the chance you will be joined by fellow shoppers. If possible, call stores before you leave the house to confirm if they have certain items in stock, or buy items online from retailers who offer an in-store pickup option. Checkout lines for in-store pickup items are often separated from more traditional checkout lines, further reducing your risk of waiting in long lines. Shop local businesses. Small local businesses may not boast the inventory of larger retailers you’re liable to encounter at the mall, but local small businesses tend to deal with thinner crowds than national stores during the holiday season. Items in such businesses may be more unique than items sold at nationwide retailers, and when you shop at smaller businesses, you likely won’t be forced to hunt for parking spots or wait on long checkout lines. Start shopping early. Crowds only grow bigger and more impatient between Black Friday and the final days before Christmas, so shoppers who can find the time to shop before the height of the shopping season might find parking lots and checkout lines more to their liking. In addition, shopping early affords shoppers more time to find the best deals. The holiday shopping rush hits full swing in the weeks before Christmas Day, but there are many ways shoppers can get their shopping done and avoid the crowds at the same time.

Did you know? Many people begin their holiday shopping around the end of summer, when retailers first begin to roll out new clothing lines and mark down existing items to make way for new inventory. Beginning holiday shopping near the end of summer or the beginning of fall may seem a little early, but early shoppers often find that starting earlier affords them more time to find the right gifts at the right prices. Early shoppers can comparison shop without the specter of the fastapproaching holiday hanging over their heads, and comparison shopping helps consumers feel more confident that they are getting the best deals possible. Starting early with regard to holiday shopping also allows shoppers avoid the financial crunch that shoppers who wait until the holiday season begins often feel. Spreading out spending over several months as opposed to the handful of weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a great way for shoppers to avoid buying too many gifts on credit, which can make for a penny-pinching start to the new year when bills come due in early- to mid-January.

measures when gifting a large family

xchanging gifts with loved ones is one of the joys of the holiday season. But it can be challenging to reign in holiday spending when your shopping list is especially lengthy. Fortunately, there are many ways for holiday shoppers to cut costs this season.

Create a limited gift exchange. Speak with other family members who also may be feeling the pinch of holiday spending to establish a gift exchange system. Rather than purchasing a gift for everyone in the family, split the list accordingly. Maybe everyone will only be expected to purchase gifts for the children, instead of buying for kids and adults. Propose that you only exchange gifts with immediate family members and not your extended family, such as your cousins, aunts and uncles. Develop a system that works for everyone so no one feels like they need to break the bank this holiday season. Host a holiday grab bag. Grab bags are great ways to exchange gifts without going broke. In a traditional grab bag, everyone brings a gift that does not exceed a predetermined value and puts it in the bag. Each family member then pulls a gift out of the bag. Allow everyone the option to swap with one another if one gift is more fitting for a particular person.

Set a price limit. Decide in advance that gifts should not exceed a certain price. This way if you are budgeting for the holidays you will have a better understanding of what you can expect to spend if every gift should be around $30. Pool your resources. Rather than giving many little gifts, pool your resources with some relatives and give a single big-ticket gift. Each person can contribute the same amount, or family members can contribute as much as they can afford. Give an experience. Sometimes the gift of an experience, such as tickets to a sporting event or a night at the theater, can make a thoughtful and impressive gift. Again, other family members can contribute, and collectively you can enjoy a night on the town or another adventure. Having a large family can be expensive come the holiday season. However, there are ways to curtail your spending without taking any joy out of the holidays.

no food fanatic should go without F

ood plays a big role come the holiday season, when friends and family tend to gather around the dinner table to share good meals and catch up on the year’s happenings. But while food plays an integral role at holiday gatherings, food also makes a great gift for that friend or family member on your holiday list who loves to savor a good meal no matter the time of year. Thanks in part to celebrity chefs and television shows that teach viewers how to make gourmet meals at home, it’s now easier than ever before for food lovers to expand their culinary horizons. Gifting such food fanatics can be fun and may even inspire a love of unique cuisine in holiday shoppers, especially those who consider the following gift ideas. Cooking kit: Ingredients and other essential elements of good meals were once taken for granted. But more and more foodies are now creating their own foods from scratch. Bacon fans may fall in love with a kit that helps them cure and smoke their own bacon, while those who love fresh, homemade bread may appreciate a bread-making kit that includes flour, a pan, some recipes, and other items necessary to make the perfect homemade loaf of bread. Cooking kit options are vast so find a food your loved one can’t go without and purchase the appropriate kit. Gardening tools: While the holiday season might not seem like the ideal time to buy your favorite foodie some gardening tools, such items make the perfect gift for your loved one who wants to grow his or her own fruits and vegetables. Locally grown produce has become increasingly popular among foodies focused on eco-conscious cooking practices, and it does not get much more local than home cooks’ own backyards. Cutlery set: Though it’s easy to overlook, cutlery goes a long way toward making home cooks’ jobs easier. The right cutlery set, which may include one or two chef’s knives, a vegetable knife, a santoku knife, a bread knife, and other knives home cooks will appreciate, can make preparing a meal easier and more efficient than cooking without a set. High-end cutlery sets can cost several hundred dollars, but shoppers on more limited budgets can still find quality cutlery sets for less money. Food getaway: Many foodies love to travel so they can experience cuisines popular overseas or in different regions of the country. Men and women whose spouses love food can plan a food-themed getaway weekend to a locale that specializes in a type of food their significant others enjoy or have always wanted to try. For example, men and women who love lobster may enjoy a trip to Maine’s annual Lobster Festival, while those who can’t get enough barbecue may appreciate a trip to one of the country’s more notable barbecue spots, such as Memphis, Kansas City, North Carolina or Texas. Food-themed gifts make the perfect holiday present for food fanatics, and shoppers have an endless array of options to satisfy their favorite foodies’ appetites.

Gifts

for the movie buff in your life

Box set: Box sets make great gifts for film fans, whether those fans prefer a particular genre of film or appreciate the work of a certain director. Fans of horror movies may appreciate the “Horror Classics 50 Movie Pack Collection,” a comprehensive collection of classic horror films that includes the likes of “The Indestructible Man,” starring Lon Chaney, Sr., and “Night of the Living Dead,” starring Judith O’Dea. Fans of director Quentin Tarantino may enjoy the “Tarantino XX 8-Film Collection,” which includes some of the director’s most beloved films, including “Reservoir Dogs” and “Pulp Fiction.” If you can’t find a box set to your loved one’s liking, consider making your own by buying several individual DVD’s and wrapping them together. Streaming membership: Streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime are growing more popular by the day, and film fans would no doubt appreciate having instant access to the hundreds of films available to subscribers of these services. A 12-month subscription to Netflix or

Amazon Prime, which offers additional benefits when shopping on Amazon.com, won’t break shoppers’ budgets but will provide lots of bang for their gift-giving buck. Gift certificate: Gift certificates to the movie theater are another great gift for the old school film fan who still prefers seeing all the new releases in the theater. Movie tickets can stretch film fans’ budgets, especially for those film lovers who need to see every big-budget blockbuster or Oscar® candidate in the theater. A gift certificate may be just what your favorite film fan wants to see in his or her stocking this holiday season. Sound system: For those holiday shoppers working with big budgets, a sound system that enhances the experience of watching movies at home might be just the thing to light up your favorite film fan’s smile this season. Surround sound systems give movie watchers at home an experience similar to that enjoyed by moviegoers in the theater. Such systems can vary considerably with regard to price, with smaller systems costing far less than larger, more advanced systems that can cost several thousand dollars. If you think a sound system is all your loved one needs to make the most of his or her movie watching experience, speak to him or her before buying the system, footing the full bill if you can or offering to contribute a certain amount of dollars toward the sound system of his or her dreams. Film fans can be fun to shop for come the holiday season, and shoppers have a host of options at their disposal to make their favorite film buffs happy.

Such knowledge can make it difficult to find gifts that friends or family members will truly appreciate, but the following are a handful of ideas to consider gifting to the movie lover in your life.

ift giving is made easier when shoppers are in tune with their loved ones’ interests. Knowing a friend’s or relative’s likes and dislikes can provide a starting point as you begin your holiday shopping. Reading is one interest or hobby that has never gone out of style. People who enjoy reading tend to devour book after book and are always eager for the next installment from their favorite authors. Books and other reading materials can make perfect gifts for anyone with a love for literature.

First edition texts

Nook® from Barnes & Noble are two of the more popular stand-alone reading tablets. E-reader apps also are available through Apple and Amazon to work on various mobile devices. A tablet can be a welcome gift, especially for a reader who appreciates on-demand reading material.

Protective case Help readers protect their tablets with protective cases. These run the gamut from the utilitarian to the decorative. Some tablet cases are designed to look like books themselves, with a soft interior cushion for the e-reader and a hard shell to keep it safe.

Book accessories

Collectors very often are interested in the first edition or first printing of classic books. Publishers may offer only a limited number of books in a first edition or first printing, and such editions tend to be rare.

Gifts

for on-the-go loved ones

Gifts

any people love to travel, but some take their wanderlust to another level. Men and women who seem perpetually on-the-go may not stop to discuss items on their holiday wish lists, but holiday shoppers can find the right gifts for those loved ones who never seem to stop for long before moving on to the next place.

Airline miles

Many airlines allow customers to transfer their airline miles to whomever they choose. Some airlines, such as Delta, allow miles to be transferred to a maximum of four people, and such transfers incur both a fee per mile transferred and a transaction Whether the wanderer on your holiday shopping list prefers to travel domestically fee. In addition, airlines may limit how many miles you can transfer or only allow or overseas, he or she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the road without certain gear.

Gear

Camera

Part of the joy of traveling is documenting a trip with a great camera. Cameras come in a wide range of styles, and good cameras can range from a couple hundred dollars to more expensive models that cost upwards of a thousand dollars. If your budget does not allow for a more expensive camera, give your loved one some cash toward buying a new camera for his or her next adventure. If money is no object, do your homework, researching cameras based on your loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests. More adventurous travelers might want cameras that can withstand the wear and tear of outdoor sports, while travelers who focus more on sightseeing might not benefit from cameras designed for more daring photographers. Research cameras online, and ask employees at local electronics retailers which type of camera is best suited to the traveler on your list.

Experiences If you know a loved one will be traveling to a particular locale in the near future, look into his or her destination and book a unique experience for him or her. For example, travelers headed to London may appreciate a tour of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace. Men and women visiting New York City for the first time might appreciate a boat tour to the Statue of Liberty or a nighttime boat ride along the Hudson and East Rivers that allows them to take in Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famed skyline under the stars. Such experiences can make trips that much more memorable. Travel enthusiasts range from weekend warriors who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to arrive at their favorite campsite to international jetsetters. Holiday shoppers can find a host of gifts suited to all types of travelers this holiday season.
