F ROM

Well, 2010 seems to be flying by at a record pace. The Christmas decorations are packed tightly away, the New Year has been greeted with welcomed arms, and it’s time for love to take center stage. We usher February in with flowers, candies, and hearts for our sweethearts. Cupid works overtime connecting secret admirers to the object of their affection in hopes of bringing a little more love to the world. The Four Aces had it right; love is a many-splendored thing. Speaking of love songs, one that comes to mind is the nugget of AM Gold, “Love the One You’re With” by Stephen Stills. One the surface, it’s just a cheesy pop song that most of us only sing when no one is around. But the lyric “if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with” got me thinking. I have no idea if Stephen Stills meant for the lyric to be taken any way other than face value, but that is the beauty of music, lyrics can be interpreted however the listener sees fit. I chose to view this lyric on a different plain and that is stop wishing for things you think will make you happy and learn to be happy with the things you already have. In the grand scheme of things we are only here for a little while. Don’t waste it by never stopping to “smell the flowers while the roses bloom,” as Jerry Reed used to sing.

Back to love. Love is an incredibly strong emotion. It can guide us through tough times and make the good times much more memorable when we share them with people we love. The Beatles once sang “all you need is love,” and while that might not be 100 percent accurate, there is this little miracle gas called oxygen that seems to be pretty important, love does bring smiles to our faces and warmness to our hearts. Then again, now that I think about it, according to John Paul Young on his 1978 hit, “love is in the air.” So, maybe The Beatles were right after all. At any rate, love is in the air, so, reach up and grab a handful, it will make you happier.

A Journey Into the Randomness of My Mind to set up a scene that involves a drunken jock destroying the loft he has been chosen to live in with six strangers and have his life taped for you, the viewing audience, to gawk at while stretch marks accumulate on your brain. I have a few of those stretch marks. At times trashy television is just as inviting as a Big Mac. And that is the reason there is a reality show for everything now. The Real World opened the doors for writers to become lazy and we ate it up just like it was a 750 calorie ﬁsh sandwich.

The Fast Food Mentality By Paul Seiple

On the chart of World’s Greatest Inventions, fast food ranks just above the wheel and only a few rungs below TIVO. Of course fast food has to rank lower than fire, because without fire we would not have those delicious flame-broiled burgers that we can have “our way” within a blink of the eye. For the most part fast food is pretty good, even though it’s not good for you. You blink and at your disposal is 1500 calories of scrumptious artery-clogging indulgence. It’s great to run through a drive-thru and pick up a value meal for $2.99. Well, it’s great until your expanding belly no longer fits behind the steering wheel. Then it’s time to figure out which is your good side for your The Biggest Loser audition tape. It’s the one with the least amount of stretch marks. The fast food concept is packaged as a lightning-quick way to feed the growling tummy that has little time to spare between tasks. But if you unwrap that concept you find a shiny pile of laziness. Let’s face it; we grab fast food because we are lazy. The fast food mentality isn’t confined to greasy double cheeseburgers and super-sized fries. In recent years it has spilled over into other aspects of our pop culture. Reality television is fast, relatively cheap to produce, and for the most part without script. And the parts that are scripted do not require the talents of creative minds like James Manos, Jr. You don’t even have to know how to write your name

Just as television, the big screen succumbed to the fast food mentality. It seems that for every Avatar, there are about three remakes of the “classics.” It’s much easier to take an already written script, doctor it up, and present it to movie goers as a “reimaging” of the original. It’s not a reimaging, it laziness. And we eat up like it’s a 12-pack of chicken nuggets (with ranch sauce). Social networking is the latest area of pop culture to embrace the fast food mentality. Long gone are the lengthy, entertaining, and well-thought out opinions on our blogs. With Tumbler, Tweeter, and even Facebook, we can update our lives and speak to our followers in 140 characters are less. Imagine if Leo Tolstoy had Tweeter. War and Peace would be a light read. I’m not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing, but I do know that it would make CliffsNotes non-existent. The fast food mentality is like the good looking vampire in all of the movies that knocks on your door but cannot come in until you invite them. Once invited in, they will never leave. The fast food mentality is rampant and it’s infiltrating all aspects of our lives. While we are pleased consuming the fast food, we are neglecting exercise, whether it be physical or mental. The “Use It or Lose It” cliché seems fitting for this subject. After a big meal of cheeseburgers, fries, and trash television working out is the last thing on our minds while sleeping is the first. We need to stand up and fight this fast food mentality. Maybe tomorrow... Now if you will excuse me I need to tweet about the remake of A Nightmare of Elm Street starring Jackie Earle Haley that I just read about while eating my double cheeseburger. I sure hope I can fit it all within the 140 characters. If not it will just have to wait until after I wake from my nap.

He Said...

She Said...

You might remember in the December issue we talked about Christmas and what Christmas means to both of us. My main concern was that there were not enough colored lights in my world at this time of the year. Since she always decorates with white lights every year, I had sort of lost touch with the excitement of Christmas trees being decorated with colored lights. How exactly does all of this relate to true love? Let me share a story with you and then you can judge whether this is the definite definition of true love. Right after we finished the column for December I left to go to a meeting. This was at night. Now I had complained fairly strongly, as I am apt to do sometimes, about the white lights vs colored lights problem. When I arrived back at her house later that night, she had put up another Christmas tree and decorated it with colored lights and all of the trimmings just for me. (She already had a 7 foot tree decorated with white lights in the living room.) This is what I call going the extra mile, without a hint to me, without me asking or badgering her into doing it. She did this to please me. She did this because she loves me and wanted to make me happy. This is one way to prove to someone how much you love them. To her I say, Happy Valentine’s Day and I love you.

What is True Love?

Now you know why I put up with him. Wasn’t expressing his love to me publicly in our column just the sweetest thing for him to do? He could have just as easily complained about the gifts that I gave him for Christmas. (One of which was a GPS with a female voice for those who are keeping score.) I wanted to see if there was another female voice he would listen to besides his mother’s. I laughed all the way to the cashier just thinking about the double entendre: Larry following driving directions while listening to a female voice! As far as the extra tree goes, I had an extra one with plenty of decorations so why not use it instead of letting it collect dust in the basement. It sure beat listening to him whine about not having colored lights. Seriously, I did want to please him. I wanted to surprise him. It certainly did those things and he was exceedingly glad. It was a nice touch to the house and made me realize that he needs or wants certain things in his life, that maybe I would not choose, but makes him happy. As all couples know when both of you are happy, life is so much easier. Of course this doesn’t mean he will help more around the house, that he will help take down the tree, wash more dishes, or even cut the yard this spring. However, for the month of December all was bliss, we got to see all our children, we ate more than we ever needed, we saw both of our parents, went to Virginia Beach and Myrtle Beach, and had two trees that we both enjoyed. To us, that’s what relationships and holidays are all about. I still need a dryer, but he is not pushing the pre-nup as much; and he got colored lights on a Christmas tree this year. Life is good.

The People’s Advocate Bill Fuller A look back at four decades as Commonwealth’s Attorney. By Andrew Scott Brooks

12 SHOWCASE SHOWCASE Magazine Magazine

Some men are born great. Other men may have greatness thrust upon them. But some men live a humble life while doing great things and leave behind a legacy that is on par with all of the great ones. The year was 1969 and desegregation had just begun to spread throughout the south. Quiet rural towns had begun to experience some of the crime waves that had once been reserved for the big cities. A former teacher turned attorney won election for the ﬁrst time as the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the city of Danville, Virginia. Forty years later, and as one of the longest running Commonwealth’s Attorneys in Virginia history, Bill Fuller retired, revered by all who know him and respected by those he fought for and those he fought against. During those four decades, an evolution occurred in the legal system. The Supreme Court of the United States continued its march towards legislating from the bench and the expectations of a prosecuting attorney expanded exponentially. Mr. Fuller kept his ofﬁce in tune and a step ahead of those changes.

Sensing the possible conflict of interest of an attorney who moonlighted as prosecutor and a private attorney, Mr. Fuller advocated for all Commonwealth’s Attorneys to be full-time. Seeing that the system in place was inefficient in collecting the fees imposed by the court, Mr. Fuller developed an arm of his office into a de facto collection agency drastically increasing the revenue flow. He ushered in a Victim’s Advocate to help assist the victims of crime in the quests for justice and fairness. But, most of all, Mr. Fuller earned the reputation of a hard charging but extremely fair prosecutor of criminals. “For forty years Bill has treated everybody equally under the law. It doesn’t matter your color or anything. Equal under the law. And, that’s how it should be.” These are strong words coming from the one person who has worked by his side for forty years, his Assistant and Office Manager, Jane Hawker. Now, in 2010, there are nine Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorneys with an

office staff of fourteen more. But in 1969 when Bill Fuller took office, he worked part-time and there were two Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorneys who also worked part-time. The office was rounded out by Jane Hawker who came over from court system and started out at Bill’s Assistant and Office Manager. (See the feature story in Evince Magazine this month on Jane Hawker.) A partnership forged through forty years of cooperation and together they developed a Commonwealth’s Attorney office that is respected throughout the state as a model of efficiency and success. Michael Newman who worked for several years with Mr. Fuller as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney before being elected as the new Commonwealth’s Attorney is unqualified in his praise for Mr. Fuller. “Since the election, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told that Mr. Newman has big shoes to fill. Bottom line, those shoes are unfillable. He is everything a prosecutor and

seemingly most proud of the criminals he prosecuted who took responsibility for their crimes and turned their lives around. “Nothing that’s ever happened to me in the courtroom has been as disarming as when someone charged with a crime gets up and says, ‘I’m sorry. I’m never going to do this again.’ That’s the kind of person you want to bend over backwards to help,” Mr. Fuller said. With endless dedication from Mr. Fuller’s office a light has been shed on the once mostly hidden crimes of domestic violence and the prosecuted crimes have multiplied. Mr. Fuller lights up when he talks about his team including Trisha McDowell and Sarah Owen who have helped him help the victims of domestic violence. “Mr. Fuller goes after all criminals with the same passion but I’m especially proud of all he’s done to help those who sometimes don’t even want to help themselves,” Mrs. McDowell said with tears in her eyes. “So many people are intimidated and afraid to come forward,” Mr. Fuller said. A humble man, he isn’t one to blow his own horn especially when it comes to all he’s done for the community. He is more comfortable talking about the contributions of those he works with or historical figures he admires like George Washington. “I’ve been lucky to have good people around me. I’ve always tried to surround myself with people who are smarter than I am!” But, those who look up to Mr. Fuller express their admiration with no filters. Trisha McDowell speaks for many when she said, “He is like a father to me. I’m going to really miss him as a boss and as a friend. He’s been my inspiration to help people.” Sarah Owen echoed those sentiments, “His allegiance is incomparable. His demeanor and personality has to be one of the most humble I’ve ever known. I’m honored, to say the least, to know him.”

Commonwealth’s Attorney should be. His never-ending dedication to the job and the citizens and his tireless work is the epitome of professionalism. He set the bar for all one hundred and twenty Commonwealth’s Attorneys in Virginia.” Mr. Fuller and his team were responsible for getting countless criminals off the streets. Like nearly all prosecuting attorneys he and his ofﬁce have prosecuted the full gamut of criminals from murderers and child molesters to bike thieves and trespassers. But he is 14 SHOWCASE Magazine

| FEBRUARY 2010 | www.showcasemagazine.com

When ﬁrst getting to know Mr. Fuller, it’s easy to get the sense that he is very protective of his personal life. Married for most of his adult life to a very supportive retired schoolteacher in Sally Fuller, he guards the quiet of his private life with the same veracity with which he drove his work life. But, digging deeper, the real lines between private and personal are considerably blurred. It may be possible for some to place an impenetrable barricade between home and work. But, for Mr. Fuller, his life was dedicated to his work. The key to the impact Mr. Fuller had on so many lives was that he traded some of the hopes and dreams that may have improved his own quality of life for the extra time and energy he could use to improve the quality of life for others. “I don’t know how a prosecutor can prosecute these cases and not become emotionally involved,” Mr. Fuller explained. He remembers like it was yesterday how a doctor, who found his murdered son in a pool of blood, rocked back and forth in the witness chair. The sadness weighs heavily on his face when he talks about his last case; where a young child suffering from diabetes had his mother murdered.

In an ending usually reserved for fiction, the murderer of that child’s mother and the last criminal Mr. Fuller prosecuted spat in his face at the sentencing. It was the only sign of disrespect the murderer could muster for the man who proved his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. It was the exclamation point on a life of holding criminals accountable for their crimes. But, Mr. Fuller wore the murderer’s sign of disrespect like a badge of honor. The disrespect dripping down his face represented the victim whose murderer was now in prison. It represented the family of the victim who now has some small piece of closure on the crime that splintered their lives. It represented all those in his office who put hundreds of hours into prosecuting the murderer. It represented the police officers and detectives who investigated the crime and brought the murderer to justice. It represented the community that is safer because one less violent criminal is walking the streets. And it represented the forty years of his life that Mr. Fuller devoted to the City of Danville and the Commonwealth of Virginia as its voice in the courtroom against those who ruin the lives of others. Now that he has retired from public office, no one sees Mr. Fuller slowing down; especially himself. “I look back and I can honestly say that I gave it everything I had.” His life has come full circle and Mr. Fuller would like to spend a bit of his time teaching; handing down a bit of the wisdom he has accumulated through the years. There is no doubt that a few minutes in his presence could greatly influence the lives of any young person so fortunate as to experience it. “I don’t know what’s out there but I plan to be involved in things,” Mr. Fuller said while mentioning working with organizations and maybe doing a little private practice. But , one thing he will most definitely spend some more time on is his passion for baseball. Whether it’s following the Red Sox and their annual dance with the Yankees for supremacy in the East or studying the lore and yore that give baseball its magic, he’ll be in the thick of it. “I like the history of baseball,” Mr. Fuller said with a glint in his eyes, a fact evident by his collections. “It won’t be the same around here without Mr. Fuller’s baseball memorabilia on the walls,” Mrs. McDowell said, fully aware of the deeper meaning behind the words. From all of the citizens that your work has touched, Bill Fuller, Thank You for everything you’ve given to this community and this commonwealth. We’ll be looking for you in the stands at Fenway.

A Home for Artisans Story & Photos By Susan Elzey

The ultimate goal of the endeavor is ... an â&#x20AC;&#x153;artisan incubatorâ&#x20AC;? that will not only showcase the talented people in the area but also connect artisans to people who can help them put together a business plan and market their products 16 SHOWCASE Magazine

| FEBRUARY 2010 | www.showcasemagazine.com

With the opening of the new Listen to Life Shoppe, local artisans now have a place to sell their wares. The Shoppe, located in the same building as The Market on Kentuck Road, opened in November as an outlet for local authors, artists, and crafters. The store is a fulﬁllment of a dream of local author and syndicated columnist Joey Faucette to help the area enrich its arts community. As an author of three Listen to Life books, which encourage people to “make a life, not just a living,” Faucette was used to people

coming up and telling him that they had a story they wanted to tell or a book they wanted to write. “Then they got scared off, and I never heard from them again,” Faucette said. Only one came back— Donnie Stevens, owner of The Market and DVF Food Service. “We had only met tangentially before, but he called me and wanted to go out to lunch,” Faucette recalls. “When we did, he said he was interested in writing a book. I told him, ‘Good, good,’ because I believe everyone has a story to tell. Donnie said that he

had several stories to tell . . . I could tell he had that ‘something,’ and I liked the story lines he told me.” Stevens subsequently self-published a novel, Old Man Missing, and is working on a second one—a historical novel set at an inn at Abingdon.

Throwing Open the Doors That lunch started Faucette thinking again. “I became aware again of a lot of people who are gifted in the arts and really talented and wondered where you could go to get their ‘stuff,’” Faucette said. “I’m not a shopper, but based on my wife’s anecdotal evidence, there wasn’t any place you could

ﬁnd it.” He also said that wherever he goes, people say they have been to Danville, so he has come to believe that “all roads go through Danville.” Those two reasons gave him the impetus to open the Shoppe and give those people everywhere the opportunity to have a piece of Danville and its talent. “We needed a little space to throw the doors open, and people would come,” he said. At that point, their lunch meeting proved mutually beneﬁcial to the two men. Stevens not only shared Faucette’s dream of highlighting local artisans, but had a little space he

The Listen to Life Shoppe carries a variety of items produced by local artisans from paintings to jams to Cds and books.

could offer to Faucette as sort of an experiment to see how such a store will be received by the community. “This is a community and talent awareness venture for me and a chance to have all local talent be able to showcase their work,” Stevens said. “Let’s get our talents in Danville exposed, so all can take advantage of it.”

Working Toward an Incubator The ultimate goal of the endeavor is to ﬁnd funding and establish a non-proﬁt organization, an “artisan incubator” that will not only showcase the talented people in the area but also connect artisans to people who can help them put together a business plan and market their products, Faucette said. A website is also in the works where people outside the area can order Danville products. Lest everyone start rushing to the Listen to Life Shoppe with their craft projects, Faucette said the Shoppe will be picky, not snobby, about which products are carried. “We will not be exclusive, but there are certain expectations of quality. We are looking for more than a hobby. The

artisans need to have passion,” he said. Right now, the Shoppe is offering the works of 18 different artisans. There are books and CDs by local authors, paintings, matching mother and daughter crocheted hats, afghans and wall hangings highlighting the tobacco history of the area, jams and jellies, hand-painted ornaments, little girls’ dresses, and hand-made cards for all occasions. “We want to run the gamut in the products we offer, and we are looking at local potters right now,” Faucette said. “We dream of partnering with Martinsville and South Boston because our strength is in thinking of ‘Southern Virginia.’ We would then have a market the size of Lynchburg.” All items are sold on a consignment basis, and Tim Robinson is the volunteer shop manager with the ﬁnal say in which items are carried.

What’s Ahead Everyone involved hopes the tiny store on Kentuck Road is just the beginning. “I hope we can ﬁnd a more appropriate location later on with greater visibility,” Stevens said. “I would like to see the store in a higher trafﬁc area so customers would be able to browse the work of these dedicated, gifted entrepreneurs, whether they are looking for some special gift or want to shop on impulse. Hopefully, someone will realize what our goals and opportunities are and will come forward to help.” Even the name of the store is indicative of its underlying mission. “I wanted to take ‘make a life, not just a living’ to artisans. With help, coaching, and provocation, the artisans can have more than a loose-leaf notebook (of writing) or a canvas in a closet,” Faucette said. Susan Elzey is a freelance writer based in Danville.

As a young man in the 1940s, Clifford Gaddy left Lakeview, S.C., and went off to school at Wingate College in Wingate, N.C. Once he arrived at the two-year college, he met another young man in a grade ahead of him. A few days before the Thanksgiving holiday, Clifford’s new friend asked him to go home for the holidays. He agreed, so his friend, whom he barely knew, called home to say that he was bringing a friend for the holidays. He asked the girl on the other end of the phone line to ﬁnd Clifford a girl so they could double date one evening.

said get a date for my friend.” Was it love at first sight? “It was no further looking after I met her at the front door,” recalls Clifford who is now 86 years old. His wife explains that before she opened the door, she had already decided to go on a date with her brother’s new friend rather than find another girl for Clifford. “We went to a movie,” Inez Gaddy recalls, “and that was about all you could do in that little town in the ’40s.” Today, Inez is 85 years old and recalls her first impression of young Clifford. “Well, I felt like he was interesting. He was witty and funny. We First Impressions were congenial, and he was interested Arriving at his friend’s family home in Maiden, N.C., Clifford met a 16-year- in going to medical school. I knew that old girl who answered the door. Clifford from the beginning.” Clifford finished his studies at was surprised who she was. “I didn’t Wingate (now a four-year college), and know he had a sister until we arrived then attended undergraduate school, at his house and she came to the front door,” he says. “I looked in amazement where he studied medicine at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, I guess, because I wondered why he

N.C. After a short time in the army, he went onto graduate school at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va., where he focused on cardiology and internal medicine.

Different Times in the Old Days He and Inez were married in 1945 while he was in medical school. Held at the minister’s house in Columbia, S.C., the wedding ceremony was a simple one with just them, the minister and a few neighbors. The wedding lasted one weekend. There wasn’t time for a honeymoon getaway as he had to return to college. While at Wingate, Inez completed most of her nurse training but wasn’t allowed to continue. Times were different then. “Can you believe that?” Clifford asks. “There’s a time in our generation in which a well-trained young lady

VA L E N T I N E C O N T I N U E D was not permitted to stay in nursing school if she was married. That’s just so unreasonable.” Today, Inez regretted not returning to school to finish her nursing education, but she proudly says that she focused on raising their six children instead, the first arriving in 1946. With her dry humor, Inez says when couples over the years started divorcing more and more, she and Clifford made a pack that if one of them decided to leave the marriage the other would have to be responsible for six children. “That’s a joke she’s been telling for a longtime,” Clifford quickly chimes in, while sitting at a round table in the Stratford House retirement community in Danville, Va. “So he never left,” she says. “He didn’t want to take care of six children and practice medicine.” Again, Clifford says, “It really is truly a joke, because there never was any thought of separation. It made for a good story.” “We came to respect and enjoy each other from our first meeting,” he continues. “Although it was five years before I got married, I never had any idea of marrying anyone else. I’m speaking for myself. If she showed any serious attraction for anybody else, I never found out about it, never heard about it.” Laughing, Inez says, “He stayed too close. I didn’t even get to meet anybody else. Another thing, we didn’t have to do everything together and accepted that.” Clifford says he can’t think of anything that was difficult about their marriage. “Staying apart would be difficult,” he says while glancing over at Inez as if she was that 16-year-old again. Both were raised in church-going families and learned from their parents that once a couple committed to marriage they remained together. If they experienced difficulties, they worked 22 SHOWCASE Magazine

them out. They also didn’t live together before they married, unlike many couples today. It just wasn’t done much in the ’40s, Inez says.

Their advice to young couples dating today is to get to know each other before marrying. “Sometimes, you can marry too quickly,” she says. “We knew each other for five years before we married, so we pretty much knew our habits.” Clifford told Inez that in his mind there was never any doubt they would marry and, for sure, wouldn’t ever live apart. Of course, when Clifford finished post-graduate school, he and Inez moved to Danville in 1952. He started practicing medicine and made frequent house calls in those early years of his practice. He hired one nurse and one secretary. Over the years, his practice grew to five doctors, two nurse practitioners, and a number of nurses and secretaries.

Pleasure Trips In the early years, vacations were few, but as their children aged they hopped into the station wagon and

The Gaddy family in 1956 L/R: Steve, Inez, Chip, Betty & Clifford Floor: Bobby & Gary

headed for the lake or beach. Their six children grew up and moved away to pursue their own dreams. Their oldest son, Clifford Jr. “Chip” works as a Russian economist. Steve is a ﬁnancial planner, and Gary has retired from teaching communications research and now works with organizations that help underprivileged persons. Bobby, once a furniture maker, now does landscaping work. Betty is a pediatrician, and Janet teaches art. Clifford and Inez sometimes traveled together rather than with the children, but it wasn’t your typical getaway. “I complained, because I said [to Continued to Page 23

him] the only vacation I got was when you went to a medical meeting,” Inez says. To Clifford’s credit, the medical meetings were to very recognizable destinations such as Philadelphia, New York, Miami, California, and Las Vegas, a trip she recalls fondly and disappointingly. The gambling bug brieﬂy entered her body, and she wanted to stay. Inez sat at the slot machines, and when Clifford came over to ask her to leave she became very angry because she was enjoying her new-found excitement. Clifford says he doesn’t remember that and swears he didn’t ask her to stop. “Well, you did,” she quips. So what happened? “I stopped playing and got over it,” Inez says. So a marriage goes. Like many men who have been married a long time and wised up over the years, he apologized for the slot machine incidence and says he didn’t mean to interrupt her chance at earning a fortune. Even though she became angry at the time, Inez says she considered the incident a minor tiff, certainly nothing to break up a marriage over. She considers their many years of marriage a smooth union with few highs and lows. He agrees. “I think I can speak for both of us. Never once was there a time we considered separating from each other, not even on a temporary basis. She didn’t pack up her bag and go home to Momma or anything like that. “I just enjoyed being with her more than anything else, so there was nowhere to go that possibly could have been any better. I’ve got to say, we’ve been the most compatible couple that you’ll ever encounter.” In 1999, when he was 75 years old, Clifford retired after practicing medicine for 47 years. Today, he and Inez reside at Stratford House, and they still remain as compatible today as they did in the ’40s. They are sweethearts forever.

Living Out the Golden Years After nearly 65 years of marriage, Clifford and Inez Gaddy have slowed down and settled in at the Stratford House retirement community in Danville, Va. Like the Gaddys, many people decide to leave a large home with all the responsibilities and move to a community like the Stratford House, where they can focus on living, and less on home upkeep, cooking, and cleaning. Clifford says he has enjoyed Stratford House so far because of the professionalism of the administrative staff. He also feels comfortable with the friendly residents. “Of course, everybody wishes they were 30 years younger and could do the things that they used to do,” he says, “but if I was not here I still wouldn’t be able to play my golf because of the injury to my back.” He is undergoing therapy, in hopes of returning to the golf course. Both he and Inez join other residents in doing ﬂex-and-stretch exercises, and they remain as active as they can. “They’ve gotten really involved,” says Kathy Gray, director of marketing at Stratford House. “They do have activities that you know they are going to be involved in.” Residents at Stratford House go on outings in and out of Danville such as to Christmas lightings, restaurants, wineries, and other events.

A Lifestyle

it’s not a visit to the old-folks home,” she says. “This is a whole lifestyle here. The only place you can recreate this lifestyle is on a cruise ship, or a big allin-inclusive resort where everything is under one roof.” That lifestyle also includes themed activities, educational presentations, musicals, pottery, workshops, a beauty shop, and a functioning bar, where they laugh and talk the night away. “If you came here on a Tuesday or Friday night, this bar is more crowded than any bar in Danville,” Gray says. “Every chair in here is full. We have to pull chairs from other rooms. They just have the best time.”

A Caring Decision Entering a retirement community can be a difﬁcult decision for an elderly person or couple and their family. For others, the decision is well thought out and caring. A few years ago, a man, who was younger than most residents at Stratford House, visited Gray and toured the facility. “He said, ‘We’re doing this now—to move into a retirement community—because someday I know that something’s going to happen to one of us. That’s reality, and because I know that, I want us to be settled in somewhere when it does happen. Whether it’s me that goes ﬁrst or her, I want us to have a routine.’ “And I thought, that’s insightful.”

Gray compares Stratford House to a resort. “It’s hard for people to see and understand that

friends?

This Facebook phase that everyone is going through is driving me bonkers. I have tried to understand the principle of Facebook. Is this a snob thing? You can be my friend, no, you cannot be my friend. They even have a way of hiding their Facebook page so only their real friends (?) can be their friends. I have to ask everyone I know, what is the purpose of Facebook and no one really knows. Is it a place to network and make friends? But wait, if I don’t want you as my friend and I close my Facebook page to you and keep you from being my friend, how can this ever work? Well, some of my friends can be friends with everyone, even people who are strangers that just want to be Facebook friends. They would never let me be a friend in real life, but in virtual space it is all right to be friends because they never have to see me, hear me, or touch me. They get to choose when and what time to be friends. Yes, I think this Facebook thing is only for snobs. Or at least pretentious people who pretend to be your friend, but really just want to be your friend in a virtual word. God forbid we would have to meet face to face and talk in real voices. I guess we could look at it as getting back to writing each other, since the invention of the Internet, we have stopped handwriting letters. Of course the other problem with this is that the United States Post Ofﬁce is about to go bankrupt. I blame this on the invention of Facebook.

What is the deal with all these farm animals and people joining the Maﬁa to kill one another? What does Maﬁa Wars and feeding cows have to do with social networking? I don’t understand it. Who are these people that have four thousand friends on their Facebook page? Do they come from Rent-A-Facebook Friend? Who are these people who come up on the side of my wall and ask me to be their friend if I know them? Why are they soliciting my friendship if they don’t know me? What is the big deal about becoming part of a group like “Keep Saloons Open Forever” or some such nonsense? Why would I want to join a group of people I do not know? Sounds like a conspiracy to me. I am telling you this Facebook thing is really turning into a nightmare and I for one am scared to death. What if this is some type of government plot to get us all to be friends and then they will round us up and put us in cages in the desert? I am keeping my eyes open just in case. If I don’t accept your friendship on Facebook it is probably because I suspect you of being a government plant or spy. No harm intended of course, but a man can only trust so many friends and I am about at my limit.

by Paulette Dean Executive Director, Danville Humane Society Ahh, February. It is the shortest month, but surely sellers of candy and cards love it because Valentine’s Day comes in the middle of the month. It is estimated that one billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent worldwide. And, I can honestly say I love Valentine candy! We could learn a lot from the animals on Valentine’s Day. The biggest lesson would be that we should not have to have a day set apart as the time we let our loved ones know they are our loved ones. Our companion animals let us know how they feel about us every time they wag their tail, follow us throughout the house, or look at us with adoring eyes. The fortunate humans who have been loved by an animal know that their love is really not based on physical appearance, age, wealth, or status. I have seen pets love people that other people would shun or speak ill of. We can also learn from animals that true love is not selfish, but is selfless. Of course, we fill our animals’ basic needs, and they appreciate it. Animals, however, do not warn owners of smoke in the house or bark when a stranger approaches because they expect a reward. They give us service out of sheer love. From witnessing the love that my pets have for each other, and seeing the grief they experience when another pet dies, I know that animals have a gift of love that we humans do not always realize that they have. I have been blessed to share my life with a variety of dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, a rabbit, gerbils, and goldfish. I am not a wealthy, beautiful person, but my pets have never complained. They have given unconditional love. Okay, in all honesty, it is difficult, if not impossible, to know that a goldfish loves you, but I have never doubted that all my other pets loved me. Pet ownership is not easy, and really should not be. But, oh, the rewards and life’s lessons learned far outweigh the costs of time, finances, and other resources.

This Little Thing Called Love by Larry Oldham

My parents do not own a computer. I have friends that do not own a cell phone. I have not read any of the vampire books yet and I love to read. Many of my friends have never been to see a play. I am not in love with my car. My ďŹ ancĂŠeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; puts up with but is not a fan of Face Book. My second wife does not eat red meat. I have friends who are sports enthusiasts. I have friends who love to go camping and take cruise line trips. So what is my point in all this trivia? Our world and your world is made up of various friends, relatives, and work associates that are different. Their world is made up of different lifestyles and varied living conditions than you and me. They have different wants and needs and even though we are all different , we all have the same thing in common. We love what we love. We love Facebook, or we love our car, or we love the computer. Most of the world has something that they really do love tremendously. Some want to share that love with others, while some keep their love of things to themselves. My point in all of this rambling is to remind you that even though we are all different and even though we all go off into other directions, based on our love of sports, travel, or upbringing, we are all in this world as human beings who should

love and care for one another. It is really not hard to love a stranger. We have all shed a tear for fellow human beings in trouble, look at 9/11 or the catastrophe in Haiti last month. We do not know these people, but these tragedies affect our lives. We view the devastation that has entered their lives and our heavy hearts ache for their loss as we thank God this was not our family. We feel the kindred spirit and that in itself is a form of love for your fellow man. I just want you to realize the importance of caring for others, and loving one another. I am not a peace freak even though I abhor war, and I just want you to take time in your daily lives to remember the people around you that you love and care for and sometimes say a little prayer for those you do not know but may need your help or a loving thought thrown their way. I guess that I am feeling a little melancholy about some of my relatives who I loved and miss, especially around this February month of love during Valentine. Love your neighbor. Love your friends and relatives. And most importantly love yourself. You are special and you make a difference in the world. Remember we all are loved. We need to give love.

Gardening Mama Meets Cupid What happened to January? Did we even have a January this year? It’s all really just a blur. I remember something about cold weather, and some dirty snow lying around, but other than that I can’t recall much. I do remember dragging out several storage bins, vacuuming up fake pine needles, and wrapping up a bunch of Jim Shore Santas to put away. I washed tree skirts, coiled drop cords, and boxed up an entire little village consisting of two cottages, a gazebo, an ice-skating pond, a schoolhouse, a ﬁrehouse, and a library. Oh yeah, I can’t forget the sleigh-riders, carolers, and ice-skaters. Hmm, so I guess that was January. Fun. So now it’s February. Do you have any idea what that means? Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day. And if there’s time left over-- my birthday. I guess any down time after the post-Christmas cleaning is over. I can deal with getting a year older, and even attending a big Super Bowl party at which I’m the waitress. But Valentine’s Day? I’m not sure I have the stomach for it.

Ugh. It is so overrated. Don’t you think? But it is kind of adorable at the same time. Men are out shopping for roses, chocolates, teddy bears, and jewelry while women are busy thinking to themselves...“I have no idea what to get him this year. Isn’t listening to his non-stop stories and jokes enough?” Or maybe we should be ashamed for needing such a silly day to show our Schnooky-Wooky-Woo-Woo how much we love and care for him/her. Shouldn’t we be doing that more often than just one day a year? I mean, wouldn’t a few PDAs be sweet in, oh say, July? The roses are cheaper then too. Since Valentine’s Day just won’t disappear, here is my idea of a perfect one... Scott will buy me several boxes of Calla Lily bulbs and we will plant them together. Then we will get on the couch and watch The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. And after that, we will watch a marathon of Dog the Bounty Hunter. We will eat PB&Js all evening and the dogs will eat the crumbs. Ah, that would be awesome. Oh, what will I get him? He doesn’t need a gift. Operating the shovel and the remote was his gift. Speaking of planting... Is it too late to make a New Year’s Resolution? I wasn’t ready before, when it was time. Plus, now I’ve had

| FEBRUARY 2010 | www.showcasemagazine.com

time to think about it and really make it count. ....I’m going to prepare, plant, harvest, and can the crops from a plentiful garden I will have in the backyard. I just got stressed again. I have planted and harvested before. But not prepared and canned. I will have to learn how to use a tiller, and a pressure cooker for canning. I’m not good with directions. I’m a hands-on girl, which means I ﬁnd the ‘on’ switch, and I go from there. So if anyone would like to share any tips or advice about tilling a garden, canned crops, or anything in between-- please email me! My garden will be 100% organic, so if keeping the rodents from eating the watermelons means putting each kid on patrol for hours at a time, ‘round the clock, then so be it. In addition to the love and gardening, I’m very excited about 2010. It’s going to be fantastic! I can just tell. I’m going to take a vacation; one with and without kids, I’m going to host tons of birthday parties, house-warming parties, and any other celebration that might come my way. I’m going to make jewelry until my eyeballs fall out. Even though I don’t yet know how to can stewed tomatoes, I will learn how to can Valentine’s Day. There is no reason to let any left over love go to waste, when you can save it for later.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
