History

A trip to Normandy for the 70th anniversary of D-Day Local fathers and a son with Valley and English roots mark history 70th D-Day anniversary takes two dads and a military son of Front Royal to Normandy, France

By Malcolm Barr, Sr. Warren County Report While veterans in the Valley were marking the 70th anniversary of the largest seaborne invasion in world history in Winchester and Stephens City on Friday, June 6, two local men - me, and my friend John Norton of

Berryville - were making similar but separate trips to France where John’s father, a paratrooper, survived the bloody invasion, and where I, joined by my U.S. military son from Germany, walked all five D-Day beaches as a tribute to the World War II dead and injured in that battle.

John, retired president of First Bank in Strasburg and a former president of Middletown’s Wayside Theatre where we met, was in Northern France (the village of Sainte-MareEglise) in memory of his father, of the 82nd U.S. Airborne in 1944, who died

the year after they both attended the 60th anniversary of D-Day in 2004.

“I’ve wanted to go back one more

time to relive and represent my (father’s) memory,” John told me in an e-mail shortly before we left on our

History HISTORY, from Sainte-Mare-Eglise was the first town liberated by the huge, 24,000man battle force, almost half of which was killed or wounded in the opening days of the fighting. John spent the night there, where his dad had helped with the liberation; my son, 29-year-old U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Malcolm Barr, Jr., a Randolph-Macon Academy graduate, encouraged me along to the celebration in France because I was at least old enough, at age 81, to remember the troops leaving my country, England, to begin the ultimate battle that would defeat Germany’s Nazis and end “the (second) war to end all wars.”

One by one, we strode on each of the five invasion beaches, Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword, that stretch 50 miles across northern France, facing my home country less than 100 miles over the English Channel.

We began at Utah Beach and the

village of Sainte-Mare-Eglise that held so many memories for John Norton’s late father. We worked our way down the coastline - mostly driving, of course - trying to imagine from various vantage points, including from German pillboxes, how easy it was for the German soldiers to mow down thousands of troops piling from landing craft with a hand ful of machine guns and some heavier artillery. Many of those lost men of what is now dubbed “the Greatest Generation” were laid to rest in the American National Cemetery near the city of Caen. It was an emotional visit for the two of us as we walked among the white crosses or Jewish Stars of David, subconsciously looking for the fallen from Virginia, and hesitating at the decorated headstones that were inscribed as unknown soldiers - each was denoted by a single rose. While we were there, bells played “The Star Spangled Banner” - a touching moment.

Heavy security, necessitated by

the visits from abroad of President Obama; Queen Elizabeth II of England; Angela Merkel of Germany; David Cameron,the prime minister of England; Vladimir Putin of Russia and the new president of Ukraine, sealed most of the highways and byways of Northern France. My son’s driving skills, boosted considerably by his portable GPS, helped us traverse a measured 855 miles of country roads in less than three days, stopping in villages we would otherwise never have seen, talking with folks of several nations, and being greeted by French people whose forbears had been liberated by American, British and Canadian troops.

Among Americans we met en route was a guy from Iowa whose friend back home had been among the allied invaders in 1944. In the tiny village of Molay-Littry, the Iowan was calling his pal, now in his late eighties, from the very cafe where he had met a beautiful French girl who, after the war, he returned to marry. The couple continues to live to a ripe age in Iowa and the friend wanted them to know that the cafe where they met was still there. It looked very much the same today as the 70-year-old photo displayed in its window!

Mostly, however, we met incredibly still-grateful French people. As Americans, we were well received among the crowds numbering tens of thousands in the area. The French predominated; most all the villages, like Molay-Littry and Sainte-MereEglise, held their own parades and celebrations. On the eve of the anniversary, what must have been one of the world’s most glorious fireworks displays, lit up the Normandy coastline and the English Channel. The narrow roads were jammed not only with regular traffic but also war traffic of the era - jeeps, tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks, and so on, most with a big white star on their sides, others displaying the emblems of England, Canada and Australia.

Uniforms of the day predominated.

It was all quite a sight.

My son and I left our tiny hotel in Rouen for Paris to retrace the footsteps of the “greatest generation” as far as the Arc de Triumph on the Champs Elysee, the two-centuries old marble edifice built in Emperor Napoleon’s time through which the victorious allied troops marched and culminated, after more months of fierce fighting and heavy loss of GI lives, in Germany’s surrender. For an active duty U.S. serviceman and his dad, it was quite a day in history.

Engle’s Angle: “Making Do”

By Kevin S. Engle Warren County Report When it comes to clothes, my wife and I are good at “making do”.

You know, making the best of what you have for a while longer instead of buying new.

But there comes a time when you can’t make do anymore. When you have to give in and buy something.

And that’s tough for me. For two reasons. First of all, I don’t like spending the money. But even more than that, I’m lazy. I just don’t want to do it.

Other than one or two days a year, and I’m never sure when they’re going to be, I don’t like to shop. I have to be in the right frame of mind to buy clothes. And if you ask my wife, I’m rarely in the right frame of mind for much of anything.

I currently own five pair of blue jeans. I can’t wear four of them outside the house. They’re frayed and have holes in places I don’t want people looking. It’s been close to ten years since I’ve bought a pair of jeans.

It was time.

I was out doing errands, including returning some clothes my wife had purchased recently. Her approach to shopping is ‘grab and go’, or ‘buy today and return tomorrow’. She doesn’t like trying things on in those little dressing rooms, and who can blame her with all the hangers and pins scattered about, and who knows what else. She’ll buy a bunch of stuff knowing that some of it is going back.

Along with her receipt, she got a coupon for a future purchase.

Forty per cent off one item. I was determined to use that coupon for a pair of jeans.

I returned her stuff and wandered over to the men’s department.

I’m a Levi’s® guy. I’m not sure how I got to be a Levi’s® guy, but it’s what I like best. Of course, since I haven’t bought jeans since George Bush was President, how the heck do I even know what’s out there?

I don’t, but I was getting Levi’s® anyway.

If you’ve bought jeans sometime in the last century, you know it’s not that straightforward. Blue jeans aren’t called blue jeans anymore and haven’t been for some time.

They’re just jeans. And that’s because they’re black, and gray, and

white, plus a bunch of other colors.

Oh yeah, and 25 shades of blue as well. But there’s more. They come in different styles and fit. They’re straight, slim, skinny, relaxed, and boot cut.

What did I want?

The same thing I have now of course. 560s. In LeviSpeak, that means they’re Relaxed. Comfort.

A loose, easy fit.

I’m a relaxed kind of guy.

That is, until I discovered they didn’t have 560s.

They had 501s, 505, 511, 514, 527 and others, along with a chart explaining what each of those were.

I felt as though I was back in school studying for a quiz. One that I was about to fail.

559 was as close as I could get to 560. But I didn’t want a straight leg. I wanted a tapered leg like my 560s.

I went home, disappointed I wouldn’t be saving 40%.

The next day I checked Levi’s® web site. Fourteen different styles.

That’s about twelve too many for me to pick from. And I got tired of looking at picture of guys’ rear ends.

A few weeks later, I went to the mall where we used to live. Jeans were on sale. I had another coupon and I was going to use it.

They didn’t have 560s either, but they did have 550s. Apparently, that was as close as I was going to get. I bought three pair. Three different shades of blue.

And my coupon? It wasn’t any good. If I would’ve read the fine print, I would’ve seen Levi’s® were excluded.

Oh well.

At least I won’t have to make do for a while. Not for another President or two.

As it turns out, the author is also a grab and go shopper. He’s returning one pair. They’re too dark.

“Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.� – President Dwight D. Eisenhower, January 17, 1961

Late June, 2014 • Warren & Frederick County Report • Page

Living history

Patriotism 101 – not blind prejudice and lies A soldier’s son’s thoughts on an unresolved fight against fascism up directly or indirectly with the Axis (Germany-Italy-Japan); the FBI has its finger on those,� Wallace told The New York Times in an interview published April 9, 1944. “The dangerous American fascist is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power. “They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead.�

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report (Malcolm Barr’s accounting of his trip to the Normandy beaches for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Allies D-Day invasion of the European mainland then under control of a fascist alliance led by Germany, Italy and Spain brought us back to our 2012 recounting of the service of my father during World War II. I reprint an edited version in memory of those who served as part of America’s “greatest generation�.)

Memorial Day, May 31; D-Day, June 6; and Independence Day, July 4 – the memories of a people’s commitment and sacrifice swell up in a five-week span commemorating the best the American nation has to offer.

As a part of what is sometimes referred to as the “greatest generationâ€? my late father was a veteran of World War II. A mortar unit staff sergeant, he landed at Utah Beach on that “Longest Dayâ€?- June 6, 1944. Later he went on to fight with General George S. Patton’s Third Army during the Battle of the Bulge ‌ during that battle that repelled the German counterattack following the invasion of the European mainland, the Third Army moved more men and equipment farther and in less time than any army in history. And Patton and his Third Army’s movement and counterattack assured the Allies would not be driven back

into the sea from which they had come on June 6, 1944.

My father carried a piece of shrapnel next to his spine for the rest of his life from a wound received during that decisive battle for Europe. And he carried his memories of the war against European fascism almost as close to the vest as that piece of shrapnel by his spine ‌ Today I find myself missing the character and commitment of that “greatest generationâ€? and its leadership as the nation now grapples with the evolution of its own homegrown corporate neo-fascism. It was a threat of domestic origin predicted in 1944

by Vice President Henry Wallace as the battle against European fascism ground inexorably forward.

Wallace, 1944 “The really dangerous American fascists are not those who are hooked

Eisenhower, 1961 Sixteen years later the distinctly American evolution of that domestic threat first cited in 1944 by a sitting vice president was termed “the military-industrial complex� by President Dwight D. Eisenhower during his Jan. 16, 1961 farewell address to the nation.

Fifty years ago during the height of a nuclear-armed “Cold Warâ€? with the Soviet Union, Eisenhower, who had commanded all Allied troops on the European front during World War II, called what he had initially termed “the military-industrial-congressional complexâ€? the greatest threat to the security of this nation – not the Soviet Union, not nukes ‌ but our own homegrown form of corporate and money-driven fascism. “This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence – economic, political, even spiritual – is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government,â€?

Eisenhower observed. “We recognize the imperative need for this develop-

ment. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. “We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.�

What were Democrat Wallace and Republican Eisenhower warning us against?

Look around you – it is here, driven most prominently by corporate-owned news stations (poisoned channels of public information) and bought-andpaid-for U.S. Supreme Court and Congressional majorities dedicated to stamping out every basic social and economic security for all but those at the top of the economic food chain ‌ It is not an elite identified by royal blood or Divine Right, but simply by

the acquisition of great wealth. So logically, it is an elite that would have you measure individual and spiritual value by the acquisition of wealth ‌ Legacy What has changed in the last half century since career soldier and Republican President Dwight David Eisenhower preached not just a national, but international equity in shaping all our futures?

Perhaps the only change is the arrogance with which corporate super wealth, buoyed by its hired political lackeys and mercenary guns ‌ wages its economic world conquest against enemies both domestic and abroad ‌ If the generation that fought and defeated the rise of fascism in the 1940s is remembered as this nation’s greatest, will those who sat idly by as our own corporate fascists bought our system of government and then casually walked over us and the world in banker’s pin-striped suits, be remembered as its worst?

“Sulfur Dioxide is dangerous, especially for the young and older people with health issues. Me and others in our community bought into the idea of ‘gas as cleaner’ ‌ that when this plant opens a coal plant in Kentucky will shut down and it’s a net win for everyone.â€? – Stan Brooks

Dominion lobbies state for higher air emission allowances Power plant permit changes – housekeeping or something more ‌

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report ‌ like the stench of rotten eggs?

Okay, so it’s a question not quite up to the literary standard of Shakespeare’s Hamlet pondering “something rotten in the state of Denmark�.

However, a negative final answer could have implications of Shakespearean import for this community.

Because that odor of decay, were it to emerge with the pending opening of the Dominion Power gas-fired power plant on the county’s north side, would be accompanied by increased health risks, particularly for the very young or old. The thought of an industrial odor accompanying the emission of pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, will be a more alarming thought for residents here before 1989, when Front Royal, particularly its north side often carried the stench of rotten eggs on the wind. Of course, the community tolerated that smell, despite a slowly emerging awareness of the health risks that accompanied it, because it was accompanied by money and jobs.

So, is it an analogous situation with related dangers that led to the closing of the American Viscose-FMC-Avtex rayon and synthetic fibers manufacturing plant in 1989 after 49 years of operation due to decades of deadly

pollutants being released in the atmosphere, ground and Shenandoah River?

Depending on the perspective expressed during a public hearing held by the State Air Pollution Control Board at the Villa Avenue Community Center on May 12, the answer is “no� or “maybe�; and if the answer is “maybe�, why can’t we, through state regulating authorities, find out with more certainty prior to the state authorizing permit changes allowing more pollutants to be emitted by the power plant?

The lone voice of concern came from former Front Royal mayor and town councilman Stan Brooks.

Brooks began by asking the air pollution control board members to do more than simply take the corporate explanation of business as usual and “natural measurement variables� at face value – “It is a major polluter; and we lived with a major polluter for 50 years and are still living with it,�

Brooks observed of the Avtex plant closing in 1989, as well as the ongoing 25 year federally-overseen cleanup of that 467-acre site, a site closed by the state Water Control Board and Attorney General Mary Sue Terry in 1989. “Sulfur Dioxide is dangerous, especially for the young and older people with health issues,� Brooks noted

of one of the emissions variables at issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me and others in our community bought into the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gas as cleanerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;Ś that when this plant opens a coal plant in Kentucky will shut down and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a net win for everyone,â&#x20AC;? Brooks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a DEQ (Virginia Department of Environmental Quality) in Warren County that has responsibility for a whole state. I hope you speak to engineers and scientists and ask the questions that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asked the first time around â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what are the levels actually going to be?â&#x20AC;?

Brooks noted that he now resides on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south side on a mountain off Harmony Hollow Road, and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to feel any primary impacts from the power plant emissions, however clean or dirty they are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if I lived northwest or southwest to the southeast or northeast â&#x20AC;Ś if I was in the path of most of it, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be afraid to build till I knew more.â&#x20AC;?

Brooks later elaborated to us about his concerns expressed to the state pollution control board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) of Virginia measures Air Quality Index (AQI) in about six places in Virginia and rates the air on six scales from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goodâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;unhealthyâ&#x20AC;?. They measure about eight different compounds, ozone etc. to render the AQI. One of the compounds measured is sulfur dioxide because it is common in all fossil fuel burns and is toxic to humans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The DEQ does not measure for sulfur dioxide in this area but has the ability to do so,â&#x20AC;? Brooks says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure there are variables involved but I believe an overall calculation could be achieved if the state would establish some kind of a baseline reading now, then re-measure when the plant begins firing up to test its operations before finally opening. Once the plant is fired up, if no previous measurements have been taken here weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know whether and to what degree the plant is causing a degradation of our air.â&#x20AC;?

However, Dominion Director of Environmental Business Support Robert Bisha sought to ease the mind of, if not county officials (none of whom were present at the public hearing), then state officials with the authority to deny the increased emissions request of the company. Bisha downplayed the permitting changes being requested. He called them technical housekeeping related to more refined data on the nature of the shale gas being accessed to fuel the plant since the idea of this plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development began as CPV-Warren

back in 2002. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you do modeling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was done at the beginning and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been done since the changes in equipment have occurred,â&#x20AC;? he told us after the hearing adjourned.

In prefacing his explanation on May 12, Bisha told state officials the plant was 85 percent complete with a projected (testing) start-up date he cited as June 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tick, tick, tick â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dominion is requesting a modification to the Warren County Power Station PSD permit to increase the natural gas sulfur content limit,â&#x20AC;? Bisha began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An analysis of natural gas total sulfur content was undertaken to determine what variation in concentration is likely to be observed in the fuel supply to the area and to the Warren County Power Station. Based on the natural gas sulfur analysis, Dominion proposes a long-term limit of 0.32 grains per 100 standard cubic feet and a short-term limit of 0.5 grains per 100 standard cubic feet.â&#x20AC;?

In wrapping up his presentation, Bisha said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dominion submitted comprehensive air quality analyses

conducted in accordance with DEQ approved protocols in our application to support the permit modification. Those analyses show that the emissions from this facility will not adversely impact ambient air quality standards, nor will the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emissions exceed any allowable PSD increments.â&#x20AC;?

The question now remaining for Stan Brooks, and perhaps all of us, is exactly how well current state regulating agencies designed to protect citizens from pollution excesses of the kind experienced here and elsewhere nationally in the middle to late 20th Century are, in fact, functioning.

Are they performing due diligence as the state Water Control Board finally did in 1989 in ordering the immediate closing of operations at the Avtex Fibers plant, or are they simply taking the word of corporate applicants that they have, indeed, done the adequate testing themselves to assure the public is protected from negative health impacts from the energy and profit-generating machines?

Opinion

Roger Bianchini: Don’t be a hater Family values, martial rights and manipulative opinions

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report The letter to the editor in the previous “Early June” edition from Sterling resident Alfred Tax was a last minute addition to the paper that did not allow time for this reporter to read or respond to. However, having been accused of professional flaws in the letter I feel compelled to reply, restating portions of Tax’s letter to allow the reader to judge our perspectives in context.

Tax states I manipulated the issue of “hate” to discredit one side in a news story. However, I believe a reading of both my news story and a clearly delineated “Opinion” piece quoting from the writing of “Family Values” rally organizer Charles W. Doughty in our “Late May” edition indicate that rather than yours truly, it is Mr. Tax who has manipulated words to make his point.

“I was deeply dismayed at the lack of objectivity and professionalism in your reporting on the “Marital rights showdown at Skyline HS”. The article in question would not have stood the test of my High School Journalism teacher let alone any one adhering to a standard of professionalism. The article was framed to suggest that this was a clash between forces of ‘Love’ and forces of ‘hate.’ The writer did not attempt to portray both arguments; rather he parodied the ‘Family Values’ arguments into a straw man he could disassemble … to suggest that the support of the definition of a traditional marriage as one man and one woman is based in hatred shows not only bias but a lack of understanding of contract law and history. I expected better of your reporter and was sadly disappointed,” Tax wrote.

For starters, the “Late May” headline “Marital rights showdown at Skyline HS” cited by Tax was a cover headline, not the headline of either the lead NEWS story or related “Opinion” piece inside the paper. In fact, the news story about the “Family Values” rally and the protest against it on page 24 titled “In the eye of the

beholder – ‘threats’ to society” clearly described the lack of hostility and hatred displayed between participants on both sides of the issue as they interacted outside the rally. And the companion piece on page 26 titled “What’s love got to do with it” quoting from Doughty’s books and drawing conclusions on the mindset of the author and those with similar social and political agendas, was clearly marked “Opinion”.

The issue of “hate” as a possible motivating factor for the “Family Values” rally here was first addressed in our previous “Early May” edition under the page 16 headline “County public facilities use policy comes under question”. That article was researched and written in response to reader inquiries when the May 3 rally at Skyline High School was announced in a letter to the editor of The Winchester Star from Charles W. Doughty. Familiarity with Doughty’s writings on family values, AIDS and other topics were the grounds for those reader concerns brought to this reporter.

And as stated in my opinion piece, with rally organizer Doughty’s written record on issues surrounding his take on family values, homosexuality and what he interprets as Divine retribution upon those he vilifies for their sexuality, such concerns seemed well founded.

Rabbit out of a hat?

As for both Tax and fellow letter writer Christina Deardurff ’s comments calling Doughty a “straw man” utilized by the writer to vilify the entire “traditional family values” movement – I didn’t pull Charles W. Doughty out of a hat. It was the retired Frederick County minister who announced the “Family Values” rally at Skyline High School, as well as formation of the Shenandoah Christian Alliance as the rally’s sponsoring group. Doughty was an integral organizational cog in the May 3 rally at Skyline High School in Warren County; and his writings were the alarm bell that raised the issue of “hate” as a potential motivating factor for that rally in the minds of readers.

So, while both Deardurff and Tax attempt to distance their beliefs and the rally in support of those beliefs held on May 3 in Warren County from Charles W. Doughty and his writings, considering Doughty’s role in organizing and announcing the meeting, I must ask who it is that is attempting to manipulate facts to make their point?

History & civil law And as for Tax’s opinion that this

reporter’s coverage of the issue reflects “a lack of understanding of contract law and history” I must humbly dissent – though I will admit to a certain lack of understanding of Tax’s thought process on these topics.

Following his rambling dissertation on the naming of Champagne, chili con carne and café au lait as analogous to the marital rights debate, Tax contends that raising legal issues about marriage reduces the institution to a contractual matter that opens a Pandora’s Box of potential variables, somehow shifting the debate to the potential legalization of polygamy.

“In its most basic process a marriage is a civil contract between two people,” Tax begins, adding, “If we wish to so define marriage under the law then if becomes simply a contract.

As a simple contract one can expect that it can be defined any way the involved party so designate. Marriage as a contract can become a multiparty contract involving many people. As a simple contract there is nothing to say that parties in one contract need to be under exclusive contract and therefore you have opportunity for

Editor: Roger Bianchini asks, “Why are some people obsessed with other people’s sex lives?” The implication is that sex is a strictly private activity with no social consequences.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

To mention a few examples, let’s start with economics. Largely due to sexual practices, the birth rate in many first world countries has fallen below mere replacement levels, leading to such economic problems as a depleted workforce and a tax base unable to keep up with an ageing population, (See “Dropping Birthrates Threaten Global Economic Growth” May 7, 2014, www.cbsnews.com.) As University of New Hampshire demographer Kenneth Johnsons says, “A downturn in the birthrate affects the whole economy.”

Witness the proliferation of sexually transmitted diseases in the US, which have become a very serious public health concern. According to the CDC, there are 20 million new STD infections every year, costing the nation $16 billion in health care annually. We as a country are so concerned about the public health “costs” of tobacco use, but no one is allowed to point a finger at human sexual practices which are contributing to our health care crisis.

multiple simultaneous marriages …”

Tax concludes.

So am I to read Tax’s logic as “law = bad; traditional-religious authority = good”?

If so, I might suggest an historical perspective on Cromwell’s England and Puritan New England in the 1600s.

The ascendance of religious authority over civil society worked out so well there that our founding fathers made sure such civil, religious authority had no place in the emerging American political or legal landscape.

If one does understand history, both European and American societies eventually rejected the ascendance of theocratic law over civil society.

It was law famous for such excesses as, not only the burning of witches and other non-believers at the stake, but imprisonment, torture and even the murder of its own members for simply failing to practice “the faith” as officially prescribed by religious authority legislating “the will of God”.

So, is that Mr. Tax’s vision for America – a return to Puritan or any theocratic system of law and justice?

Just asking …

And it would be remiss not to note that the worldwide AIDS epidemic, which has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, originated with the promiscuous sexual activity of a relatively small population of homosexuals, and that despite great strides in combatting the diseaase, it continues to grow at an alarming rate among this overall demographic group. (See http:// healthland.time.com/2012/07/20/ hiv-continues-to-spread-amonggay-men-studies-show/) Then there is the phenomenon of pornography, which has become a relationship-destroying addiction for so many, while resulting in the documented victimization of women and—horrifyingly--of children as well. We can no longer close our eyes and call it a “private” matter or a “right of expression”; the toll on society is too devastating to ignore.

It turns out that sex is a very private activity with very public implications. Whatever one’s opinion about these issues, the fact remains that “other people’s sex lives” do have reverberations in all of society, and we are foolish—and even criminally negligent—to pretend otherwise.

Emotional Hawks bid farewell to Skyline and childhood “CAMP”, by the school’s Show Choir featuring soloist Reno Paige Vaughan, added to the emotion of the moment.

Principal Andrew Keller School Superintendent Pamela McInnis present senior awards

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Under a beautiful, late spring morning sky, Skyline High School graduated its Class of 2014. The school band and Show Choir provided stirring musical backdrops as proud parents, relatives and friends filled the home stands at Hawk Stadium. Awards, scholarships and other acknowledgments were handed out.

But as the night before for its cross-

town rivals and friends at Warren County High, it was the fond farewell of the school principal and class officers that left the most indelible mark on the hearts and minds of those gathered for the last act of the collective childhood they have so anxiously longed to throw off.

If as children they entered, it would be as adults they would leave the school grounds many had called home for their entire high school lives. And so it was with a perspective on that collec-

tive childhood, particularly those last five years that Student Council President Lindsey Paige Morrison began the reflections of Graduation Day, June 7, 2014: “ … For some of us, this is our third graduation together, and probably our last. But for the next hour, everyone here is still a Hawk. I planned to have this really long speech, but I wanted it to be short and sweet, just like this school year, since we had all of those snow days.

“It’s been a long five years for most of us … Many of us sitting here today have graduated from preschool, elementary school, and middle school together, and today we are all joined here as the class of 2014 to celebrate another milestone, our high school graduation. For many of us, this will be our final graduation together, and maybe the last time we see one another for many years or even forever. But let’s not worry about the future right now, let’s just worry about getting across the stage with a diploma in hand and getting our tassels turned before anyone gets in trouble …

The majority of us have been counting down to this day for about five years now because in the eyes of any eighth grader, being at the bottom of the high school food chain just sucked and being a senior just seemed like a luxury – though I know many of us could argue that senior year was not luxurious whatsoever, but instead stressful and full of assignments that no one wanted to do.

“Now many of us sit here with mixed

emotions as we prepare to start a new chapter of our lives … This stage is a bridge to our futures, and we walk across it knowing that the end of this bridge is going to look different to each of us.

“So I guess what I really have left to say is thank you. Thank you for everyone going into the military. Thank you to the faculty for teaching and putting up with us for so long; and thank you to my classmates for an unforgettable high school experience that revealed all of our true colors. Good luck with all of your future endeavors, and may the odds be ever in your favor.”

Then Class of 2014 President Megan Marie Reinhardt ably picked up the baton passed her way, picking up on the theme of her and her classmates’ collective growth throughout their school years. “ … Isn’t it funny how semester to semester nothing seemed to change but now as we look back everything is monumentally different? I thought writing this graduation speech would be no problem, but as I started to write it a million thoughts and emotions were going through my head. How do you find the right words to say to your classmates of 13 years to celebrate a goodbye? … I figured it would make sense to start at the beginning of our student career. The first day of kindergarten we were bright eyed five year olds ready to hop on the bus with our Barbie lunch boxes, Spiderman book bags and our new favorite back-toschool outfit. Our parents were there with their cameras to capture every moment and wish us well as we started the next chapter in our lives. But before we knew it the simple days were over and we were graduating fifth grade.

Then came the awkward years of middle school where we were one hundred percent positive that we knew absolutely everything (and let’s be honest, we still do). There was no more nap time, or playground after lunch.

We were challenged with making new

SKYLINE HS, from The day that seemed so far out of reach is right in front of our faces. Look to your left, look to your right, and take it all in because it is likely we will never be together as a unit again.

“It’s a bittersweet feeling, but instead of dwelling on the end of an era, let’s celebrate new beginnings – I strongly believe each and every one of us will go on and do great things. We are the future generation, and the world is in our hands.

“Today is almost identical to our first day of kindergarten in so many ways.

We have swapped our favorite cartoon characters for a cap and gown. Our families are gathered with cameras in hand as they share our excitement as we embark on the next chapter of our lives. Deep down, we are still those free-spirited five year olds.

“So Class of 2014, this is the part where we find out who we are. Each and every one of us has the power to be amazing and change this world, but it’s up to us. We’re young, and we have to learn that mistakes and failure are inevitable on the path to success.

We have one chance to make our lives count, but if we do it right then once should be enough.

“Make a name for yourself, and always follow your heart. Behind us are the challenges we’ve met and conquered. Before us lie endless opportunities and possibilities. And today we choose the direction of our lives. But as we venture out into the world, never forget that Skyline is where we come from, and a part of us will always be here …”

Then it was Principal Andrew Keller’s turn to say goodbye to another graduating class: “… This is a special morning and we’re fittingly honored with beautiful weather and breathtaking views of our campus: the majestic Blue Ridge, the Shenandoah steadily rolling behind me. We are truly blessed … You have heard from our student presidents.

They are outstanding representatives of our school community, yet there are many more …. And here in a few minutes you all will receive your coveted diploma. But Graduates, just what is this document that you have been working on for most of your life? To answer that, I need to tell you what it is not: “It is not a ticket to the good life. It is not a permit for success. And it is not a guarantee for happiness or prosperity.

None of those things are ledged (is this the word he used?!) with this diploma.

I do believe this: your diploma promises nothing more than the right to keep going; whether to more education, the work force, or the military – a nonrefundable ticket to what lies ahead. And whether you breezed through the past 2 years or had to be dragged to your final exam, you made it. Your efforts, either epic or half-hearted, have brought you this far.

“Now what? The piece of paper you are about to receive does not define

“Yes, this piece of paper is important. It proclaims your completion of state mandated course work; but it is your character that broadcasts the loudest description of who you are. Do not compromise that asset. It takes a lifetime to build but can be lost in an instant. It is more valuable than any document you will receive in your lifetime. And it will still sparkle long after the parchment of your diploma has become worn and faded … You have represented your school and community well. You have helped to create a culture of character. As individuals you are unique and diverse. As a group you are resourceful and determined.

You have challenged your teachers and tested your principal. You have shared a spirit and passion that will resonate throughout your school for years to come. And you are forever linked to over a thousand alumni that came before you.

“I will remind you the same as I told them – the choices you make today shape your world tomorrow. – Congratulations!”

Loving Arms Assisted Living presents:

SPOTLIGHT ON

Emma McCrickard My mother, Emma Giles Tench McCrickard, was born August 22, 1917 in southern Virginia. The next to the youngest of four brothers and two sisters, she was born at home prematurely and was pronounced at birth by the doctor that she would probably not live. With pure determination of spirit, she proved him wrong— she ended up outliving all her brothers and sisters. As the youngest daughter and the smallest in size, she was spoiled by her family and led a very happy childhood. Her family owned a tobacco farm with a lot of acreage and had tenants, owned what would be considered now a country store, and also ran the first telephone company in Franklin County-the kind where her mother and two sisters manned it, complete with party lines like you would see in old movies. She went to college in Danville, Virginia and followed her oldest sister to Washington, D.C. where she worked for the F.B.I. during the time of J. Edgar Hoover and became a supervisor in the secretarial division. She absolutely loved working and loved people and had many friends who gravitated towards her.

She joined a thespian group with her F.B.I. friends and even took flying lessons, but did not complete them after one of her friends died in a solo flight. She also joined the Eastern Star. She had married my father, one of her childhood friends, who was a Master Sergeant in W.W.II. After the war, he worked for Dun & Bradstreet, also in D.C., and they lived in D.C. until they bought a house in Maryland.

When she had me (her only child), my father insisted she quit work to raise me. It was a time of the 1950’s, and she did as he asked, but I’m sure she partly resented it as working and seeing co-workers was something she really enjoyed.

So, she threw herself into everything else she could learn and do. For someone who Janice as a child was not supposed to live, she had the energy of five people. I never, ever saw her NOT doing anything - - even when she sat down, she had something in her hands-needlework, a project, or reading book. She took practically every homemaker or educational class there was available. She gardened, canned, froze food-- she even made some attempts to make wine. I remember one attempt of winemaking when she had put the grape concoction in bottles in the kitchen only to have them blow up overnight - - there were purple splotches all over the floor, counters, walls and the ceiling the next morning. Needless to say, she gave up on winemaking and moved on to afghans, and moved on to more delicate projects, such as decoupage, making jewelry and decoupage egg decorations using egg shells, making molded wall hangings, making dried flower pictures, and learning to needlepoint. She needle pointed wall hangings and then needle pointed fabric and used that fabric to cover up chairs herself. Not only that, our home was constantly filled with relatives, friends and neighbors. My mother would be considered a social butterfly, constantly making meals and desserts, a regular Miss Hospitality.

The day I turned thirteen, my mother got another job (I told you she didn’t give up working) as the manager of a local gift shop. She absolutely loved it and again made many friends who came to the shop just to talk to and see her. That didn’t stop the projects at home - - she continued them. She continued working there for many years until a couple of those new friends convinced her to work for them at a mail order gift business, The Unicorn Gallery. She loved that too, making friends over the phone with new customers. She remained with them until they moved to another location, too far for my mother to drive. So did she stay at home and enjoy fooling around the house? No, she took another job close to her house working in a nursery with all the seedlings and flowers— and talking to customers.

As the years progressed, it was increasingly apparent that she needed to be closer to me. My father died in 1995 and I was not happy with her being alone so far away. I persuaded her to move close to me— she was still independent and found new friends in her new neighborhood, but I could oversee how she was doing, when it became obvious she needed more than I could do for it, she moved to Loving Arms.

She still has her determined, strong-minded ways, but the person who had to be in the thick of every activity is seldom apparent. But, she still loves to talk to people, if you take the time to draw it out of her. She had a very active mind and a great knowledge of books, loving history, movies, and a vast range of subjects— it may be locked away in some crevice of her mind, but sometimes it does still come out. The one thing that still prevails is her love of people. ~ Written By Pam Rhodes, Emma McCrickard’s Daughter~

We at Loving Arms are dedicated to providing a nurturing family environment where individuals can continue their life journey with dignity, respect & integrity.

Come be a part of our family and remember we are:

“Growing together one life at a time.”

WOW – the future really is here Principal, class president bid adieu to the WCHS Class of 2014

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Warren County High School began the community’s two-day public high school graduation sequence at 6 p.m., Friday, June 6, the anniversary of the pivotal D-Day invasion of World War II. And while it may be with a tad less organization than went into that attack on fascist forces occupying the European mainland in the 1944, these 205 Wildcat graduates will remember that they began their assault on their collective futures on D-Day as well.

And “D” is the appropriate letter, for now begins the series of Decisions these graduates will begin making that shape their futures, and contribute to the future of their nation and planet as well. – Hopefully they will do a better job than the generation producing the current circus

of malevolent clowns parading as elected representatives and national news reporters and commentators.

Principal Ernestine Jordan was

a tad more politically correct than yours truly in launching the school’s graduates into an increasingly uncertain national and world future. After

acknowledging many students for both official and unofficial achievements during their high school careers, not to mention the retirement of long-time favorite teacher Bev Timbrook, Jordan nodded to the unnamed for their contributions as well and offered a perspective on this first day of the rest of the Class of 2014’s lives: “ … please know that whether or not you were specifically named, each of you has contributed to this

day of celebration. Members of the class of 2014, I wish that I could give you some profound advice on how to live long, happy, healthy lives. I wish that I could tell you that life will always be fair, but most of you already know that this is not true. I hope that all of you will have some fond memories of high school even though they may be mixed in with the memories of broken hearts and Facebook confusion. You may not be able to control what life throws at you, but

Public safety Graduation days WCHS, from 13 Kaegan McCabeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and what can I say but â&#x20AC;&#x153;WOWâ&#x20AC;??

He began, perhaps appropriately on 6-6-14, with the first of six â&#x20AC;&#x153;wowsâ&#x20AC;? in reflecting on this pivotal moment in his and his classmatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The past 13 years of our lives have all built up to this moment, this moment where we walk across this stage and take hold of a piece of paper that says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hey, at least youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not COMPLETELY useless.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; All jokes aside â&#x20AC;Ś everyone sitting in front of me has accomplished something that many others have not and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to be proud of,â&#x20AC;? he said.

His third (OKâ&#x20AC;Ś where are 1 and 2?) â&#x20AC;&#x153;wowâ&#x20AC;? preceded a recollection of the passing of time from some of the more carefree moments of high school, from spring breaks to Homecoming competitions to social maneuverings to Senior Prom to the moment when â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone knows what the future holds for them, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering the work force, the military, going off to college, or even living on their momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s couch and playing video games.â&#x20AC;?

McCabe then cited a moment when the approaching transition hit home for him: â&#x20AC;&#x153;when, of all people, Eric Sadler calls our prom dinner to a halt with a toast and in the most genuine way says how much heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to miss everyone, and I realize that this is my last hoorah as a high school student â&#x20AC;Ś This year has been characterized by the realization of how much Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss this place and the people in it â&#x20AC;Ś This school and everyone in it have shaped me and the entire class of 2014 into who we are today. So, no matter how excited I am to walk across this stage and get my diploma, I know that I really will miss Warren County High School, and yes, even little olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Front Royal, Virginia â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

Then he offered wow 4 â&#x20AC;&#x153;because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m realizing that this will be the last time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see all of you together like this; realizing that the next time I start school it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be with the same 200 or so people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known for a third of my life but with thousands upon thousands that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never met.

I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sitting at the same breakfast [and lunch] table with the same group of friends that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been sitting with since 8th grade ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scary once you really think about it, leaving ev-

Yes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be leaving our friends. Yes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be put slightly, or for some of us, immensely, out of our comfort zone, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always a bad thing. Now we actually get to decide what our life is going to be like. Go do what you love and have some fun! You really can be whatever you want, regardless of what anyone says. If I can offer one piece of advice, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to make sure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste time on anything you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love.

Wow 5 was for the variety and individual uniqueness of his classmates and a willingness to accept each other despite those differences.

And then it was time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that final â&#x20AC;&#x153;WOWâ&#x20AC;? because that moment in all high school graduations when that final farewell must be voiced â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the future looming ahead of the senior class of 2014 has actually arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the last time, thank you everyone for being here tonight to support us on our big day, and congratulations Class of 2014!â&#x20AC;? McCabe concluded.

Forever and Always, A Day A precious baby rests its head On a raised caged bed.

A youthful child runs around Laughing such a joyful sound.

A growing teen gains independence, Makes decisions, claims transcendence.

A string of scholars cross the stage Now marked by an achievement made.

Off to new roots they proceed, Each step they take a memory.

The final act has come to an end.

The buzzer sounds, The whistle blows, The bell rings, The curtains close.

The court, the field, the stage, the classroom Are empty; the closing left untold.

The players, actors, students now gone.

A new scene begins to unfold.

It seemed like hours, this parade, Yet still the morning of their call Affects each minute, second, all.

Forever and always lives today.

Let those caps go, Class of 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you earned it.

Journalistic stalwart Ray Boone dies in Richmond Recalling an encounter with a media giant on freedom of the press issues

Raymond H. Boone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a voice for the voiceless and a friend in need

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report It was with some distress I read of the passing of Richmond Free Press Editor and Publisher Raymond H. Boone on Tuesday, June 3. Boone succumbed at his home after a bout with pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. Ray Boone founded the Richmond Free Press in 1992 after an already stellar career in journalism

and teaching. The honors and recognitions bestowed upon him speak to the realization of the goals all journalists worth the title aspire to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; integrity in the pursuit of truth and justice covering the people and institutions that impact and reflect all our lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He tried to fight injustice wherever he saw it. Without the Free Press there would be no black voice in Richmond,â&#x20AC;? Jean Boone said of her husband in an interview with Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Style Weeklyâ&#x20AC;?.

Other honors and tributes are listed below. But it was a series of phone conversations I had with Boone in early 2012 that made the loss of this journalistic stalwart more personal for me.

I had been pointed Booneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way by the Virginia Press Association (VPA) after an inquiry on how a free paper might deal with the removal of bulk amounts of product by people whose motive was suspected not to be neither reading nor circulation of the paper. Such were concerns reported to us by readers witnessing such removals over a short period of time that year. Before it stopped as suddenly as it began I was ready to go to war and sought guidance. VPA officials directed me to Boone, whom they noted had dealt with similar issues at the Richmond Free Press.

Warren County Parks and Recreation Department

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Informed of the reason for my call, Boone was both accessible and helpful. He shared the fact that not only had large numbers of his free paper been removed from distribution locations earlier in its history, but had also been burned where they could be publicly found. The message was clear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need you, your kind and your thoughts brought into the public, print discourse in this community.

In his case, with a newspaper published by and largely focused on issues of direct interest to the black community in the historic capital of the Confederacy, it might be looked upon as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;idea lynchings,â&#x20AC;? I suggested. And while it was violence targeting things instead of people, we agreed on the seriousness of the issue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; suppression of the dissemination of ideas, for whatever reason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small steps,â&#x20AC;? we agreed of the often painfully slow move away from domestic terrorism targeting people,

to that targeting their ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore it and hope it will go away,â&#x20AC;? Boone cautioned of the possibility our newsstands were being targeted for whatever reason. He said he had run into the same problem I had as managing editor trying to get local law enforcement actively

involved investigating the theft of free newspapers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yea, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free to be read,â&#x20AC;? I noted. Boone agreed that federal law protected the distribution of newspapers whether there was a price tag on them or not; and he pointed out other federal laws

Upon Booneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe acknowledged his life and work, stating in a press release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raymond Boone was a singular figure in the history of journalism and politics in Virginia. His was a life devoted to justice, equality and a well-informed public discourse, and I know that commitment will live on thanks to his leadership at the Richmond Free Press. Dorothy and I are keeping Raymondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Jean and all of their family and friends in our prayers today as we mourn the passing of a true Virginia legend.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The passing of Ray Boone really marks the end of a personality who was an integral part of our city. His stalwart support for the black community, for economic justice and fairness paved the way for change in so many ways,â&#x20AC;? Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Founder/Editor/Publisher of the Richmond Free Press, week after week, he offered many a window into the world of black Richmond. He provided visibility for people who might otherwise be invisible to some. He voiced concerns and desires in ways that might not otherwise have gotten expressed.

When I think of Ray, the word that comes to mind for me is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crusader.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear to me that Ray Boone was a giant of a personality that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t soon be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this time of loss.â&#x20AC;?

Those were two among many such tributes.

The Richmond Free Press has a weekly readership of over 135,000. In a bio published on the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, it is noted Boone was a native of Suffolk, Virginia; held a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in journalism from Boston University and a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in political science from Howard University; taught journalism at Howard

I replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the feds show up, local law enforcement will jump on the bandwagon,â&#x20AC;? Boone observed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But before that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be a priority for them because it is a less black and white issue criminally at the local level.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pun intended?â&#x20AC;? I asked, drawing laughter over the phone line.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my personal memory of Ray Boone: perceptive, humorous, helpful and caring, even about a small local newspaper over two hours from Richmond, in promoting, defending and advocating for a free press and free expression of ideas in the public forum.

Rest in Peace and Godspeed, Ray, you did well.

Town approves $3k a month on failed AMP coal plant debt Electric rates not impacted by initially adopted 15-year payment option

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report At the May 27 Front Royal Town Council meeting a potential debt of a half million dollars due to the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in a failed coal plant construction project taken on by the municipal energy cooperative American Municipal Power (AMP), as well as some unhappiness with recent Northern Virginia Daily coverage of that debt, was discussed.

The unhappiness with the media

coverage stems from the fact that the referenced article previewing the May 27 agenda item focuses on liability from one failed AMP project, but cites none of the benefits of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in a number of successful ones, including hydro-electric and other more environmentally-friendly plant constructions or purchases since it joined the municipal energy cooperative in 2007.

In the absence of town Director of Energy Services Joe Waltz, several councilmen and the town manager stressed that over the eight years of its AMP membership the town has been involved in development or purchase of eight successful power plant projects that have netted the town millions of dollars in energy cost savings that more than counterbalance one decision gone awry.

As stressed by several councilmen during discussion of the proposed initial payment plan, the town has just been recognized as having the lowest municipal and non-profit electric rates in Virginia for the second consecutive year. Those low rates are enabled by the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AMP membership and involvement as joint owners in the municipal cooperative power plants.

Councilman Tom Sayre attempted to summarize the positive nature of AMP membership, stating it provided the town with free-market purchasing options. However, Town Manager Steve Burke corrected Sayre, noting that membership made the town a part owner in the cooperativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful projects it had voted to participate in. Thus, rather than be subject to wild, often upward fluctuations in

free-market energy prices, the town benefits from low and stable rates accessible to AMP member/owners of its growing energy generation network.

The one gone wrong and its consequent debt, which it was pointed out on May 27 could range anywhere from the initial estimate of $500,270 to several hundred thousand dollars less, stems from the November 2009 cancellation of construction of the AMPGS coal-fired energy generating facility. According to staff, the AMP board decision to halt the coal plant construction stemmed from soaring

project overrides that had driven actual costs far above, 37 percent to be precise, original estimates.

As noted in the agenda summary presented to council on May 27, in a letter dated April 16, 2014, AMP called its participating members due on the long-brewing â&#x20AC;&#x153;stranded costsâ&#x20AC;? now estimated at $145 million from the failed AMPGS Coal Plant Project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but in the gentlest way possible: â&#x20AC;&#x153;AMP would like to emphasize the expectation that whatever payment option is chosen, the payment option should not cause the [member] Elec-

tric Fund to exhibit an annual operating loss at any time during the payment period or cause the municipality to fail any covenants for its own debt service, AMP Joint Venture (JV) debt service

In order to minimize the negative impact on the cooperative and its members, AMP has offered a variety of payment options, including 1-percent interest rates on long-term payment plans. The option suggested by town staff is a 15-year payment plan at $3,000 per month ($36,000 per year), at least until a rate study on shorter term or full payment impacts on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing electric rates can be completed.

Writing on the wall?

And not to Monday-morning quarterback â&#x20AC;&#x201C; BUT it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the writing wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the wall in 2008 about gambling on development of new coal-fired plants. They were already known to be major polluting factors impacting ozone layer depletion and climate change. And, despite anti-science, anti-regulatory political posturing, such coal-fired plants were likely to be subjected to increasingly strin-

gent governmental regulations and expenses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sooner or later.

In fact, then-Councilmen Stan Brooks and Eileen Grady argued passionately against the coal-plant investment when it was first broached in January 2008. Ultimately Brooks and Grady would be the lone votes against the project in the first round of votes. The project was finally approved unanimously (Conkey, Holloway, Hrbek, Lauder, Parker and Sayre) in successive October and November votes by the council voted into office in May 2008 and seated July 1.

If only we listened to them then â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from minutes of the January 2008 council discussion following the first public hearing on the project: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councilwoman Grady explained that she would continue to stand on her position regarding the coal plant â&#x20AC;Ś that the country had realized

Front Royal

many dreams through inventions that changed the way problems were solved â&#x20AC;Ś that the Town needed to be problem solvers regarding technology and for the future of the world â&#x20AC;Ś that it was important to take a stance regarding the coal burning plant [and] that society should expect better products and services that would be more beneficial to the world [and] â&#x20AC;Ś that change was needed in the industry.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councilman Brooks ... explained that he would not be supporting the coal plant buy-in. Councilman Brooks noted that the Town citizens may pay less for electricity, although the real cost of the coal burning plants may be higher than a financial aspect. He stated that he could not make a moral decision to support another coal fired plant.â&#x20AC;?

However, choosing to look backward, rather than forward, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council-

man Sayre noted that he grew up in an area where coal was king, and coal was basis of the entire economy. He stated that coal can be good, as it provided many jobs at times â&#x20AC;Ś [and] that he would vote for the coal powered plant.â&#x20AC;?

Unfortunately, that rear-view-mir-

ror optimism held sway with the four-vote majority that January 2008 day, and eventually with a unanimous council vote 10 months later when final approval came. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rogerb@warrencountyreport.com

Shelter staffer Jessica with a good looking dog

What is a day?

There are many ways to answer that question.

A day is 24 hours. A day is how we measure how much time we spend at work. A day can be something we look forward to, a celebration of some kind. But in U.S. animal shelters, a day represents 10,411 lives needlessly lost.

To most people, June 11 is just another day. But June 11 is a day that will change everything for about 10,000 companion animals, and a day that can change the world. On June 11, 2014, we can be a No Kill nation.

For Just One Day, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Euthanasia Techniciansâ&#x20AC;? will put down their syringes and pick up cameras. Instead of injecting animals with lethal doses of sodium pentobarbital, they will photograph them and post

them on the Internet, on Facebook, on twitter. On June 11, 2014, they will market their animals to the public, they will reach out to rescue groups, they will host adoption events with discounted rates, they will stay open for extended hours, and they will ask their communities to help them empty the shelter the good way.

Instead of going into body bags in freezers, the animals will go out the front door in the loving arms of families. At the end of the day, the shelters will be emptier than when the day started. And, no one will have had to die in order to make that happen. To help them succeed, the No Kill Advocacy Center, Animal Ark and Animal Wise Radio are teaming up to offer shelters the tools they need to be successful.

The Julia Wagner Animal Shelter is normally closed to the public on Wednesdays to clean, have staff meetings and catch up on paperwork, but this past Wednesday, June 11, it was open for adoptions and also had staff and volunteers at PETCO,

Springtime Nursery, and Kmart as it participated in JUST ONE DAY. HSWCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to get every adoptable animal a loving home. June 11 was a special day for the shelter to show the public the loving pets we have who need homes. June 11 was JUST ONE DAY but every day your animal shelter works hard to adopt every animal that comes to us. The shelter is open 10-4pm every day except Wednesday. Up to six cats are at PETCO to view every day and volunteers are there on Saturdays with dogs and cats from 11-2pm.

The shelter can continue to have record breaking adoption rates with your help. The public can help by adopting from the shelter as well as donating money or supplies and pet food, volunteering, fostering and becoming a member of the HSWC. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Amy Thurman, president, HSWC

By Carol Ballard Warren County Report Shocked by how little todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students know about history, and disappointed in the history tours he attended in Alexandria, Steve G. Doss

decided to create educational tours to fill the need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took one of the tours and decided to do better-to use my head,â&#x20AC;? Steve said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Footsteps to the Pastâ&#x20AC;? history and ghost tours was born 13 years ago,

and the success of his tours in Alexandria has led to the creation of a branch in Front Royal.

He has begun to lead hour-long history and ghost tours around Front Royal, which start at the Visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center at 414 E. Main Street, on Sat-

urdays at 8 p.m.

Steve and his sister Betty Ward moved here three years ago and made the Garrison House at 15 Chester Street their headquarters, partly because they have always liked it here, and also because of the overcrowding

in Alexandria.

Business BUSINESS, from 23 Front Royal.

Warren County is definitely a good spot for history lessons.

Front Royal was incorporated in 1788, and both town and county have been deeply involved in major events.

If the streets could talk, they’d tell some great stories of all the periods.

As far back as 10,000 years ago Native Americans camped out on the Shenandoah River. Colonists came

and then took part in the Revolutionary War. So many fought and died in the Civil War and then the town became the jumping off place for pioneers going west. Remnants of these times and events are still seen in the architecture, streets, and in some cases, in ghost sightings.

Apparitions of those times are said to still roam the streets and haunt ancient buildings and battle fields and for reasons of their own, are reluctant to leave.

Steve mentioned that a few of the ghosts have been spotted hanging around in a jewelry store and a beauty parlor on Main Street.

However, ghosts are not the main focus of the tours.

“We put ghosts in to make it more interesting, but we don’t make up the stories. We always go by what people were saying at the time. I don’t like my intelligence insulted, and I don’t insult anyone else’s,” Steve said.

“But the ghosts are definitely not boring,” he added.

Their educational tours are their primary focus, and student tours are booked through companies from all over the States. Teachers bring their students to them to learn about the past. Their goal is to bring the student tours to Front Royal, as well.

The Saturday tours that are now being conducted promise to be fascinating, because Betty and Steve have a wealth of interesting historical facts and stories to share.

The history of their Garrison House headquarters is fascinating in itself.

The house was built in 1882, by Dr. Manly Littleton Garrison, a surgeon with the Confederate Army, and is considered one of the most haunted houses in this area, Steve said. He

It was the setting for a few grisly events and had a front row seat to the soldiers marching up and down Chester Street during the Civil War. Interested folks will be given a lot more information when they take the tours.

“I can tell you from personal experience, there’s something going on here. Sometimes I will hear a loud noise like a 2 x 4 landing right next to me,” Steve said.

“But the tours are appropriate for families, and are kid-friendly, with no blood and gore,” he emphasized.

possible, he will start taking reservations for them. These are basically about the kinds of things scientists are doing in investigating phenomena. One thing people will learn is that not all unexplained sounds are from ghosts. It could be house noises or even an electrical issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scientific technology getting better at studying this,â&#x20AC;? he said.

I agreed to showcase their crafts in the front room of the Garrison House, and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their only outlet, and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be found online,â&#x20AC;? Betty said.

Everything is made by seniors 55 and older and some items are still being made by 80 and 90-year-old women.

Stephens City breaks ground on Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Memorial

Veterans Jagiello and Fletcher admiring a WWII vintage jeep at the ground breaking ceremony.

By Sue Golden Frederick County Report Stephens City Councilor Ron Bowers and his wife took a leisurely drive up the Valley on Route 11. On their drive, the couple admired all of the Veteran Memorials in the towns dotting the highway. As much as Ron enjoyed the experience, one thing troubled him: his town, Stephens City, did not have a Veterans Memorial.

When Ron got back to Stephens City, he brought the subject to the town council. Everyone agreed Stephens City needed a Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Me-

morial. Ron was put in charge of the Memorial Committee.

Fundraising started. A site was chosen. Publicity was sought. Finally, all of the hard work paid off. On June 6, 2014, the 70th anniversary of DDay, ground was broken on the Stephens City Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Memorial at the Old School House on Main Street.

The site is thought to be especially symbolic since many of the older veterans in town attended the school.

The Memorial, according to Ron, is dedicated to all veterans â&#x20AC;&#x153;past, present and future.â&#x20AC;? While the Memorial will commemorate all veterans, individual veterans can be honored through the purchase of an engraved

brick. The bricks, part of the fundraising for the Memorial, will form the pathways to the Memorial.

Walter Jagiello was at the ground breaking not only representing AMVETS Post 18, but also the many members of his Winchester family who served. His grandfather Anthony Jagiello retired from the USMC. His father, Walter Albert Jagiello graduated from West Point and retired from the U.S. Army. His aunt, Helen Jagiello retired from the Nurses Corp. His Uncle, Joseph A. Jagiello was killed in action at the Chosen Reservoir in Korea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Littleâ&#x20AC;? Walter served in the USAF. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a veteran who did not have to experience combat, it is with humbleness that I try to honor those veterans who have. I intend to buy bricks to honor the many members of my family who served during war time.â&#x20AC;?

Like Walter, Bill Dodson attended the ceremony to commemorate the service of the patriarchs in his family. His grandfather Steven Dodson served in World War I with the U.S. Army. His father, William Dodson Senior, served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Bill is the third in the line to serve in the U.S. Army. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is a good thing that Stephens City is recognizing its Veterans. My grandfather settled in this town. My father was a life-long resident. I intend to be a life long resident. All of

our names will be on bricks in the Memorial.

Ron hopes the dedication of the Memorial will be on Veterans Day 2014.

The town is looking to raise $25,000 to pay for the Memorial, of which they have raised about half.

Engraved bricks for the walkways can be purchased from the town for $50. There are also Mort Kunstler prints available for $5 each or 3 for $10. To look into either of these options, or to make a donation, contact town hall at (540) 869-3807.

Town approves Fiscal Year 2015 budget of $39.46 million Funk, Sayre – we support the town police but not the town budget

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report On June 9, the Front Royal Town Council passed a final and multiplyamended Fiscal Year 2015 budget of $39,461,120. Approval came by a vote of 4-2, with Daryl Funk and Tom Sayre continuing to dissent based on their opposition to tax increases included to help balance the budget.

“I can’t support this – I voted against the tax increase … and sometimes you have to do things to be consistent,” Funk said in prefacing his no vote on the budget. Funk did note an apparent contradiction in that he had supported some amendments offered to the budget on May 27, primarily those moving money within the budget to fund various police initiatives.

Despite past staff and colleague arguments to the contrary based on the fact that maintaining Enterprise Fund reserves are necessary to fund coming utility and service expenses, and General Fund reserves are earmarked for emergency funding of an administrative nature, Sayre continued to insist there was “plenty of money” lying around in town accounts to accomplish budget goals without a tax increase.

But despite opposition or concerns with specific portions of the budget, for

the majority the necessity of continued funding of the town government in the coming fiscal year beginning July 1 held sway over philosophical or ideological specifics.

“I will support this even though there are no raises for employees,” Hollis Tharpe said of the proposed budget.

And if council couldn’t find revenue for employee raises, it did find a unanimous consensus to approve a Resolution designating the week of June 23 “Employee Appreciation Week”.

And despite their votes against approving an FY 2015 town budget, both Funk and Sayre attempted to align themselves with support of funding a specific town department, law enforcement, even though FRPD would be unfunded along with all other departments without an approved town budget as of July 1.

And so it goes in the age of ideological intransience and a fundamental opposition to majority rule in modern American politics.

The budget amendments approved prior to the May 27 first reading of the budget were: · $50,000 of $114,035 previously dedicated to phone system upgrades, for staff career development in the Master Police Officer Program; · $15,500 for another career path police program, Senior Dispatcher. Of those recommitted funds, $4,500 was previously dedicated to a laptop for the town attorney, $1,000 from Excess Arts Grant request for the town Tourism Department, and $10,000 from the addition of AC to the town’s vehicle fleet maintenance building; · $9,000 from General Fund reserves to upgrade the Chief Dispatcher position to Pay Grade 24; · Transfer of $8,585 from Drug Task Force Machinery & Equipment to Police Investigations Machinery & Equipment for new Cell phone Forensic Software equipment for FRPD;

· Altering the planned AC installation for the Fleet Maintenance building to a 2-year funded project, with $10,000 committed in FY 2015 and FY 2016; One of the series of amendments failed on May 27. That was to open a funding stream from contingency enterprise reserves for a Water & Sewer Rate Study and potential litigation related to the town’s extension of its central water-sewer utilities into the Route 522/340 Corridor.

Councilman Eugene Tewalt restated his opposition to late budget appropriations dependent on General or any Fund reserves that was not related to Emergency Funding. However, Tewalt

elaborated “that of all the amendments I probably agree with this one (the rate study-possible litigation from reserves) most, because it doesn’t authorize [the money] to be spent.”

Rather, staff explained that this particular amendment would simply authorize access to reserves to explore the town’s water-sewer rate status and the legal implications of changes since 2009 to the town’s share of the revenue split with Warren County from corridor commercial development.

However, the amendment failed by a 4-2 vote, with only Funk joining Tewalt in support.

Utility fees Council also approved a series of fee increases for: · Large meter fees for water and sewer service (water, 6.5 percent; sewer 10 percent); · Fees for second electric meter inspections from $25 to $40, and from $25 to $50 for third inspections and beyond; · Establishment of a temporary electric fee for residential electric service not to exceed 100 amperes in capacity and requiring one service drop to existing drop to existing facilities.

Endangered Species Baby Boom at National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute celebrated several births recently. During the past several weeks 31 new residents have been born, many of which were endangered species.

A short-eared elephant shrew was born May 8 at the Zoo’s Small Mammal House. The short-eared elephant shrew is the smallest of the 17 living species of elephant shrew, weighing between less than one-third of an ounce and 1.5 ounces at birth. It is too early to determine the baby’s sex. Although the tiny shrew has been active since birth, it stayed hidden for the first few days of its life, which is normal. Keepers are now getting more glimpses of the shrew as it comes out of its den to explore. These insecteating mammals’ name comes from their noses’ resemblance to the trunk of an elephant.

A fishing cat, recently named Hunter, was born April 15 on Asia Trail. Inhabiting India and Southeast Asia, fishing cat populations are declining and the species is considered endangered because of habitat loss and hunting for food and fur. The first pair of twin fishing cats was born at the National Zoo in May 2012. Only one other facility accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums has successfully bred fishing cats since 2009.

A leaf-tailed gecko hatched June 2. The leaf-tailed gecko is a large, nocturnal gecko from Madagascar threatened with extensive habitat loss from cattle grazing, logging, agriculture and collection for the pet trade.

Three loggerhead shrike chicks hatched in mid-May at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal. Loggerhead shrikes, also called butcher birds, are

songbirds that hunt small animals by impaling them on thorns or barbed wire. Loggerhead shrikes were once common, but they have declined rapidly for several decades, and there may be as few as 100 wild loggerhead shrikes left in Virginia. They are listed as threatened or endangered in 20 states and have disappeared from New England. The reason for their decline is not understood, but SCBI scientists are studying the birds.

Black-footed ferret kit season is in full swing at SCBI. Twenty-four ferrets have been born so far, and 10 more ferret mothers may give birth in the next few weeks (two were artificially inseminated). Black-footed ferrets were thought extinct until 1980, when a colony of ferrets was discovered in Wyoming. Today all black-footed ferrets are descended from 18 ferrets in that colony. More than 640 black-footed ferrets have been born at SCBI Front Royal to date, many of which have gone on to be reintroduced in the American West.

Extinct in the wild, a rare scimitar-horned oryx was born May 15. It was the 164th scimitar-horned oryx calf to be born at SCBI. Scimitar-horned oryx once lived in the arid plains and deserts of northern African countries of Egypt, Senegal and Chad. Reintroduction efforts have begun in Tunisia.

A red panda gave birth to two surviving cubs May 27 at SCBI. This species is vulnerable because of habitat loss.

Red pandas live in the cool temperate bamboo forests in parts of China, Nepal and northern Myanmar. There are fewer than 10,000 adult red pandas left in the wild.
