Heroin’s Grip is a documentary film in production that will tell the story of the heroin epidemic in Maryland, focusing in on Frederick County. We are interviewing current addicts, healthcare and mental health workers, officials from the law enforcement community, as well as families whose lives have been shattered by heroin and opioid addiction. We want the community to help tell this story in order to get a better understanding of the impact it’s having on our region. Our goal is to produce a film that will be seen worldwide, and be used as a teaching tool to rally the community to help solve this epidemic!
The heroin problem in the United States has reached epidemic proportions, and the issue has been addressed in a variety of films and news stories, but these broad-scoped stories at times belie the reality of what’s happening to individuals and families right here in our local community.
“The heroin and opioid epidemic has devastated hundreds of families, individuals, and businesses all across our county. We see it in the news nearly every day and it’s easy to think that it’s someone else’s problem. We think that it’s a Frederick or Baltimore issue. It’s not! It’s in our neighborhoods. My neighborhood. My small town. It’s our community’s problem, and we must work together to solve it. I couldn’t simply stand by and watch, I had to get involved. That’s why I’m making this film,” – Conrad Weaver
Filming began in early February 2017 and will continue through the 2018 spring months. We hope to complete production by early September in order to submit the project to a number of major film festivals around the country. We also plan on releasing a DVD version along with educational materials related to the film sometime in 2019. We feel it’s important to provide a resource for teachers, healthcare workers, mental health clinics, and others to be able to share the story and educate the public about this epidemic.

Everyday Struggles of Being 8 Months Pregnant
Being pregnant and 8 months now, is amazing…I am truly blessed and can’t wait to meet this sweet little baby in just a few weeks!!
Although, there are some “interesting” things that you learn rather quickly, as soon as you enter the third trimester. It happens fast! I’m definitely getting used to the struggles of being 8 months pregnant, but boy are some things rough.
- Can’t see below your belly anymore– I am totally envious of anyone that has gotten laser hair removal, because shaving your legs is hard to do when your belly is blocking all possible views and doesn’t allow you to reach your calves.
- Pregnancy Cravings– not all bad here, unless you want something immediately and have absolutely no way of getting it to eat. That can cause serious hanger.
- Heartburn– for me, even water gives me heartburn along with everything else I eat!
- The “third trimester workout” aka…running to the bathroom. The struggle here is knowing where the nearest bathroom is even if you just went 5 minutes ago. At this point, you almost just want to stop at every bathroom you pass JUST IN CASE you need to go.

photo by: Line Severinsen Reaching down for things- NOPE. If it’s on the floor, then it’s staying there. This also applies to tying my shoes. I plan my outfits around whether or not my husband is home to tie my shoes, if not, then I am wearing slip-ons.
- Third trimester sleep deprivation- IS REAL. The more pillows the better at this point. I pretty much have a fort built around me for all possible ways I might want to roll over to and that’s if i’m even sleeping at all.
- I have a new appreciation for chairs, especially this week after working at the fair. The walk from the parking lot to our WFRE tent is enough to make me want to crawl back into bed for a nap! ….but a chair is just as glorious.

{Katie’s Kitchen} Dutch Apple Pie
Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard
Apple pies are sooooo good! There’s no doubt about that. This was a fun recipe that I made together with my mom over the weekend and it was gone so fast!
I used about 2 lbs. of Honeycrisp apples from Catoctin Mountain Orchard and they were perfect and delicious!
Start out by pre-heating your oven to 400 degrees. For the pie crust, you can make your own by using your favorite recipe, or if you want a quick option, like I did, you can use the Pillsbury Pie Crust that is found in the cooler section of your local grocery store.
Then, prepare your apples- we used an apple corer slicer, slice the apples thin. Mix together with sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of raisins to apple mixture (or not if you don’t like them).
Roll out the top of your pie dough and place it over the filling while pinching the edges together and trimming the edges as needed. Brush the top and edges of crust with beaten egg.
Bake your pie at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then turn down the oven to 350 degrees and continue to cook for 45 mins. longer or until golden brown.
While you let your pie cool on a wire rack, let’s make the glaze for the top!
For the glaze: Mix confectioners sugar, lemon juice and 1-3 tsp milk, until you get a spreading consistency. Then, spread over top.
Delishhhh.
Ingredients: This is where I got the recipe
Filling
-2 1/2 lbs granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
-1/2 cup sugar
-1 3/4 Tbsps all purpose flour
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1 1/2 Tbsps unsalted butter, melted
-1/2 cup raisins and 1/3 cup water* – I used a combo of regular and golden – either could be used *optional can be made without raisins
Sugar Glaze
-3/4 cup unsifted confectioners sugar
-3/4 tsp lemon juice
-1-3 tsps. milk
Interview: Darci Lynne
Quick chat with Darci Lynne before she takes the stage at The Great Frederick Fair. Get tickets now. https://www.etix.com/ticket/online/performanceSale.do?method=restoreToken&performance_id=6528069&partner_id=944&method=restoreToken
Ventriloquist, Darci Lynne is the youngest contestant to ever win “America’s Got Talent.” Following AGT she sold out her headlining show in six minutes, having to add more shows. She is a young ventriloquist who is inspiring the next generation to keep it alive. Darci is someone to watch for as her career is just getting started. But in her mind, positively affecting one person through her performances is all she desires.
Growing up in Oklahoma, Darci has always been close to her family and relies on their support and encouragement. In her younger years, she had a timid demeanor that she was able to overcome through talent-based pageants. She was soon introduced to the art of ventriloquism and decided to try it out for herself. Darci had hard work, grit, and discipline already instilled in her, since she came from a gymnastics background where she practiced 30 hours a week. After only having her first puppet for two weeks, Darci was determined to audition for her first talent show never knowing it would lead her to audition for the biggest talent show on earth.
Now being on stage makes her feel like she is an entirely new person. This is where she opens up and flourishes. Darci dazzles the audience, leaving them with smiles on their faces. Performing has helped Darci learn about herself and who she can be. She is so grateful to her mentor Gary Owen and her vocal coach Tiana Plemons for all they have done for her. During her “America’s Got Talent” audition she received the golden buzzer sending her straight to the Quarterfinals. Her winning final performance has over 21M views on AGT’s YouTube, more than any other finals performance on the show. Darci will be touring into next year and hopes to continue to uplift people as they watch her.
