Strasburg and its museum welcome history lovers Ancient building holds wealth of fascinating items for folks who like to reminisce

The Strasburg Museum holds a wealth of fascinating items for folks who like to reminisce.

Seen here is Doris Baker, one of the cheerful, helpful, and friendly ladies of the Strasburg Museum’s all-volunteer staff, who keep things running and are a welcome presence when touring through the many exhibits. By Carol Ballard Warren & Frederick County Report Although Front Royal has a wealth of antique stores and historical places to visit, several other surrounding towns are also full of interesting and potentially fun experiences that take us back to earlier times, allowing us to get a glimpse of what life may have been like many years ago in the Shenandoah Valley. For example, Strasburg, another fascinating and charming small

town, is located about 10 miles south of Front Royal on Rte. 55 in Shenandoah County, and one of its most inviting buildings houses the Strasburg Museum. It has shelves full of antique pottery dating from the earliest days when Strasburg was famous for its artisans. At least 17 potters skillfully produced earthen and stoneware for commercial use into the early 1900s. In 1891, the building was constructed for use as a steam pottery, and operated until 1909 when the last pot-

tery closed. In 1909, it was purchased by the Southern Railway Company to use as a passenger and freight depot. Several well-preserved examples of the train era are seen outside the Museum, and a sign in front gives some history about how they were used. For the month of October, the museum is showcasing an antique sewing machine exhibit until the 30th. On the first day of the event, Joan Crewe made special presentations periodically between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to demonstrate how the machines worked and played a part in the history of the Valley. She presented the Wilcox & Gibbs; Lester; 1864 W & G Treadle; and an 1876 Howe Treadle. Visitors were even allowed to sew on the beautiful machines with names like: The 1922 Singer 66 Redeye Hand Crank; the 1929 Singer 99 Hand Crank; and the 1930 Singer 128 Treadle. Strasburg was named after Strasbourg, France in 1761 by founder by Peter Stover, who was of German descent. German-speaking Pennsylvanians were among the first nonnative settlers to arrive in the northern Shenandoah Valley and

Strasburg area, and in contrast to the English culture found mostly east of the Blue Ridge, Strasburg was settled with family farms and towns rather

than plantations and there were few slaves. The mostly German-speaking people brought their own religion, architecture and decorative arts with them. The town still borders the Shenandoah River and has magnificent views of the Massanutten and Allegheny Mountains, and despite its location only 80 miles from Metro D.C., Strasburg has maintained its hospitable small-town charm. For visitors who want to spend some time relaxing and enjoying the area, there are many amenities to be found. If an overnight stay is planned, there’s the Hotel Strasburg, which was originally built in 1902 as a private hospital. The unusual and eccentric Victorian building’s rooms are furnished with antiques and period details and it is reputed to be haunted. Many of the residents have stories of ghostly sightings. The Hotel’s restaurant also offers fine southern cuisine and has been a D.C. corridor favorite for years.

Goodlatte, Degner lock horns at 6th Congressional debate

From left are 6th District Congressional candidates Republican Incumbent Bob Goodlatte and Democratic Challenger Kai Degner By Timothy Ratigan Warren & Frederick County Report What may be the only debate between Republican Incumbent Bob Goodlatte and Democratic Challenger Kai Degner, candidates of the 6th Congressional District, was held on October 17 at E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg. After the pledge of allegiance to the flag and singing the national anthem were finished, the debate rules were given and Congressman Goodlatte gave his opening statement. “Each week as I drive through my congressional district up to Washington to represent you in our nation’s capital. I start in Roanoke, Lynchburg, and I work my way up through Lexington, and Staunton and Harrisonburg, finishing in Strasburg, and Front Royal. I make stops along the way, to schools and businesses. I speak to Rotary Clubs and Kiwanis Clubs and do all the things that allow me to have contact with my constituents and hear their concerns which I then carry to Washington. I carry your conservative values to Washington D.C. My constituents believe in limited government, decentralized government, and individual responsibility. They believe in the free enterprise system that creates so many jobs in this congressional district. They believe in lower taxes and less government regulation. They believe in a strong national defense

and strong families. So, I work hard to represent you and those values in the congress. And when I do that, I work to make sure that we pass good legislation. “Legislation like the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act. That has permanently banned access taxes on the Internet. I work hard to pass legislation like the USA Freedom Act, which stopped the Federal government from gathering your metadata. And not just the telephone metadata that was the subject of disclosures a couple of years ago, but many other forms of metadata as well. I look forward to the questions and I ask for your support in this election,” he said. Goodlatte’s opponent, Kai Degner began his opening statement with, “This might be the only debate we have unless we can come together on future dates between now and November 8 which we are very willing to do. I am thrilled to be here in Lynchburg, the southeast tip of this district that goes all the way up to Front Royal and over to Roanoke and Bath and Highland County. I was not planning to be here five months ago. So, let me tell you a little bit of how I got onto this stage. I am in my eighth year on Harrisonburg City Council and mayor there for two years. And we had a different candidate that was running against Congressman Goodlatte who at the beginning of June became ill unexpectedly. I was sitting with some friends and wondering how we can have an election without someone to represent peo-

ple living paycheck to paycheck. Can we not have a candidate or someone out there representing the ideas of families and small business owners that has a sense of urgency on fixing health care affordability and other things that face us day to day? We really feel like we aren’t represented in our Congress by our congressman who has been there just too long to really stay in touch with the realities of day to day life of a small business owner and someone raising a family. “That is not to impugn the motives or the intentions of Mr. Goodlatte at all. I believe he is an American and I thank him for his service and his dedication. However, when he ran in 1992 he was also worried that once you stay in D.C. too long you just get disconnected because the belly of the beast that just eats you up. I agree with the 1992 Goodlatte. If you are there too long you just end up getting disconnected. I am here today not just to debate my own positions or my own ideology but to represent those ideas of those people who want to be honestly represented in congress.” The question and answer period followed their opening statements. The first part concerned partisanship and leadership and the first question went to Degnar. “Let me first get some credibility in areas where I have broken with my party leaders. President Obama is for the Trans Pacific Partnership, I am not. Mr. Goodlatte has voted to fast track it. Our Governor is for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and other pipelines. I am not. Those are Democratic presidents and governors I am speaking out against in terms of those specific issues. Now I believe one of the fundamental disconnections between Mr. Goodlatte and his constituents was just embodied in his opening comments. He said, “my constituents have conservative values.” The ones that see themselves as having liberal values and not conservative are still your constituents, sir and I am one. To me I now understand why I felt so unheard when you don’t even consider me a constituent if I don’t have conservative values.

It’s one thing to advocate for your position but our founding fathers when they designed the Constitution did not intend us to be so partisan. “And I am worried that Mr. Goodlatte is putting party over country. I think he knows as well as anybody that there is a presidential candidate who is unprepared, and has the Republican nomination. And he is there standing for a party nominee simply because there is an R behind the name. I will not be doing overly partisan advocacy when I am your congressman. I will be a congressman who will listen to you even if you have more conservative values than I do,” Degnar asserted. Goodlatte spoke next and pointed to his record in Congress. “During my time in Congress I have passed dozens of bills and not one of them has been the kind of partisan bill that Mr. Degner described. In fact, I have never passed a bill that

didn’t have bi-partisan support. So, 48 bills have passed out of the Judiciary Committee since I became chairman of the committee that have been signed into law by Barrack Obama. I don’t agree with Barrack Obama on a great many things but I work very to make sure that whenever possible we find the kind of common ground that’s necessary to get legislation done in the interest of the people. So, for example, right now, I’ve been working with the President and the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee to do criminal justice reform; something that I think is badly needed and hasn’t been done in many, many years,” responded Goodlatte. He went on to mention reforming the sentencing system, specifically the issues of prisons, prison reentry system, and policing strategies. He also talked about forensic and other technologies that would ensure that

innocent citizens don’t get charged and convicted of crimes they didn’t commit. He stressed the importance of working together in congress in a bi-partisan fashion, saying that he has always done so, and will continue to do so. The second question dealt with the amount of regulations and what the candidates would do to ease the regulatory burden facing citizens and business owners. Goodlatte answered this question. “I am already hard at work doing it because you are right. Federal Government regulations empowering a massive federal bureaucracy in the executive branch is stifling our freedoms; not just businesses, but individuals as well. Businesses are particularly hard hit when they are trying to create jobs,” he said. Goodlatte pointed to his service as Letter to the Editor Editor: For at least the third time this election season, our “hometown newspaper” has provided editorial opinion regarding Donald Trump through columns by Bob Franken. Franken, a “journalist” who for years pimped for Democrats on the Clinton News Network, a.k.a. CNN before moving to his present burrow at All Hillary, All the Time MSNBC has specialized in character assignation of Trump by calumny and detraction. In three columns he hasn’t managed to mention positively any of Mrs. Clinton’s achievements during her 30 years on the Federal scene that would motivate anyone to vote for her. Likewise, he hasn’t mentioned any of her policies such as abortion on demand at taxpayer expense, more funding for Planned Parenthood to cut up unborn babies and sell their body parts, or to accelerate the importation of Muslims with their radical religious, political and military ambitions to subjugate us and to settle them in our communities at our expense. To provide “balance” to Franken our hometown newspaper has offered it readers an equal number of columns by Neocon Rich Lowry, primary leader of the Never Trump and War Party wing of the GOP. Based on the revelations from Wikileaks, those who follow the news know that the so-called mainstream media has been colluding with each other, the Clinton campaign, and its super PACs to elect Mrs. Clinton; but one would be shocked if one thought that his hometown newspaper was so out of touch with its readers to have joined that now open conspiracy. It probably just looks that way. Yours truly, Thomas L. McFadden, Sr Front Royal, VA

Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and his efforts to curb governmental regulation. Degnar spotlighted his eight years on City Council and experience in dealing with regulations and unfunded mandates that come down from federal, state and local agencies and his seven years as a small business owner, dealing with those same kinds of regulations. “I agree, where there are regulations that don’t have merit, we need to get rid of them and/or streamline those that do. That said, there is a role for a lot of regulations for our society and there are regulations that we pick and choose to keep in place,” he said. Degnar also mentioned the regulations (the cannabis act) that keep hemp/marijuana a schedule one and schedule II narcotic drug. This comment drew an enthusiastic applause from the crowd assembled. Goodlatte immediately responded. “First thing I want to say is that I do not support legalizing marijuana. It is not a good thing for our young people and it is a dangerous drug. Research has found damage to the development of the brain from using it and I do not think that is the right way to go,” he said. He also stated that in regards to hemp, the federal government should find ways to help farmers get hemp in the market, and said, “That is what I’ve done, starting with helping the researchers at James Madison University get the necessary approval to get seeds and plant that first crop which is now growing in the Shenandoah Valley and elsewhere in Virginia in order to be able to have a wide array of products to be manufactured from hemp. I am working with Congressman Masse, who is a congressman from Kentucky who has the legislation to get the bill passed.” The next discussion topic was debt. The moderator said that the national debt was over $19 trillion and is expected to exceed $20 trillion sometime after the first of 2017.

Degnar responded, and attributed too much of the debt to the cost of the war in Iraq which Goodlatte supported. Goodlatte immediately defended his vote and belief that support of the fight against terrorism and Iraq War is necessary and vital for the protection of Americans here and around the world. He alluded to the 9/11 attacks in 2001 by saying, “When terrorists fly planes into skyscrapers and the Pentagon we have to find them.” Degnar replied that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and for Goodlatte to continue to insist otherwise was disrespectful to veterans. Goodlatte, who has supported a balanced budget amendment for the U.S. Constitution, brought up Degnar’s record on taxes and spending during his time as city councilman and mayor of Harrisonburg. In those ten years, according to Goodlatte, the council voted to raise taxes a total of nine times. Degnar defended his record by stating that Harrisonburg still touted the third lowest property tax rate in the commonwealth. Later on in the debate, the candidates attacked each other about supporting their party’s presidential candidates. Goodlatte defended his choice to stand with Donald Trump even though over eight women claimed that the presidential candidate had groped them and made other inappropriate advances towards them.

“I do not condone some of the things he has said, but I don’t feel we can afford to have Hilary Clinton elected president of the United States,” he responded. Degnar reminded the crowd that Trump had reportedly called all Mexicans rapists in remarks made during the Primary season. Trump has insisted that he was not referring to all Mexicans and was simply pointing out a criminal element that was being let in to the United States illegally. Degnar’s final punch came when he said he doesn’t see how Goodlatte can support Trump and keep a straight face while claiming to be ready to meet the needs of women, minorities and citizens with disabilities he represents. The citizens of the 6th Congressional District will make their decision known at the voting booths on November 8. – tim@areaguides.com

Supervisors solve ongoing issues at October meeting

Supervisors listen to Charlie Morrison as he asks for a Conditional Use Permit for private use camping for his client. By Carol Ballard Warren & Frederick County Report Several ongoing issues were resolved at the October 18 Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting at the Warren County Government Center.

Back at the January 21 meeting, the board issued an order to establish Lake Front Royal Sanitary District, and at the October 18 meeting, they voted 5-0 to set the tax rate for the sanitary district. The 358-lot district’s tax rate will be $450 per lot, $150 less than they

now pay. The bill in December will show the new fee and tax payments are set for December 5 and June 5, 2017. The board was set to approve the Consent Agenda items, but Happy Creek Supervisor Tony Carter asked them to look at the item concerning the “Lottery for Localities” Initiative. They heard from County Administrator Doug Stanley regarding the initiative, who informed them that a Virginia Association of Counties committee discussed it in August, and mostly municipalities trying to find alternative sources of revenue are supporting it. The resolution from the supervisors states that “localities continue to struggle to expand their tax bases to generate revenue....without continuing to in-

crease local real estate and personal property taxes.” If the proposal passes in the General Assembly, Warren County and Front Royal would split some of the proceeds from lottery sales, Stanley said. When asked by Vice Chairman Archie Fox how much revenue the county could expect, Stanley said no data is available to show what revenue can be expected. Carter voted against the resolution, saying he didn’t think it would pass anyway, and talked about the car-tax relief legislation in the 1990s. The tax was taken off by the General Assembly and promised to reimburse local governments for their lost revenue. “That didn’t come to fruition,” Carter said. He also said he was afraid the state would take the money out of one pocket and put it in another. Chair Linda Glavis said, “But if we don’t ask, we won’t get.” The board voted 4-1, with Carter voting against it, to support the initiative. Also at the meeting, they heard from county resident Herb Dunkel, who presented several issues that concerned him. He showed the board some graphics that he developed with ideas to improve the intersection of CCC Road and Rte. 55, where, he said, the railroad crossing prevents fire trucks from going over it. He also talked about experiencing the danger himself three times when trains don’t sound a warning. County Administrator Doug Stanley, saying he doesn’t usually respond to comments made at the board meeting, said he wanted to respond

to Dunkel’s. Stanley said that he had considered the situation, but that the “CCC road is a private road, and not maintained by the state and the state highway system, and we can’t use state funds. I have talked to the private property owners, to improve it through a revenue sharing project to bring it in the state system, but they declined.” Dunkel also said he was bringing a “hot-button” issue to the supervisors concerning inmates’ voting rights at the Rappahannock, Shenandoah and Warren County Regional Jail Facility. He said he had spoken to the registrar and was told no one had registered anyone there, then talked to ‘someone at the jail’ was told that “no jail in the state provides inmates the opportunity to vote.” “This is violating their civil rights,” he said, and maintained that they could conceivably sue the county. “Someone needs to go to the jail and register inmates to vote with new address changes because they’re now in jail,” he said, and added, “With all due respect, I would no more allow someone to beat on a little kid, than to deny someone the right to vote.” Stanley responded that the RSW staff had been prepared with a computer to allow people to register online, and that people can still vote in their localities. For example, if they’re from Shenandoah County, they can vote there if currently registered. Have a short news item to send us? Email: briefs@warrencountyreport.com

Early November, 2016 • Warren & Frederick County Report • Page 7 During the County Attorney’s report, Shenandoah District Supervisor Thomas Sayre asked County Attorney Daniel Whitten about how collecting personal property delinquent taxes was going and was told collections were going well. “We’ve collected $20,000 so far this month and October isn’t even over,” Whitten said.

Zombies invade Front Royal in the name of charity and, oh yeah, brains!

Worried occupants of a car try to evade brain-hunting Zombies walking up Chester Street.

This lone Zombie makes her scary way down Chester Street, chasing after brains.

This Zombie appears to have eaten his pets entirely, only leaving the bones. By Timothy Ratigan Warren & Frederick County Report Saturday, October 22, dawned with a chill in the air and a feeling that something strange was going to happen. As the day wore on, citizens from

throughout the town started to behave strangely as they began to change. Both young and old saw their appearance change from living humans to members of the walking dead. The once flesh-colored skin soon took on a grey and dead appearance. Old wounds began to reappear

and they began to walk in a slow and jerky gait. They all had one thought in mind: Get to Bing Crosby Stadium. They arrived in cars and trucks. They showed up on foot. But, un-sinisterly enough, many of them carried with them food and donations for two charities. C-Cap and the Warren County Humane Society would be recipients of their donations. After walking through the crowd of zombies, I reached the C-Cap and Warren County Human Society booths and talked to volunteers who

were collecting donations. Bill Beane with C-Cap was there to answer questions about amounts of food and monetary donations they collected from last year’s Zombie Walk. “This is our third year to receive donations from the Zombie Walk so Roxanne (Bauserman), the organizer of the Zombie Walk, calls us every year and we come and pick up food and cash. Last year we collected just over 200 pounds of food and $200 in cash at this event. We are partnered up with the Humane Society as well, so we are collecting human and ani-

mal food tonight,” he replied. Beane gave us an update on the donations coming into C-Cap now with the fall fundraiser season in full swing and their plans for donations through the holiday season. “During the summer things are pretty slow but as the fall comes, things start to pick up as we start getting into the food drives toward Thanksgiving and Christmas. And, of course, we have the “95.3 The River” radio station getting ready to do their “Camping for Hunger” drive, which is always a really good event for us,” he said. The other recipient of donations that evening was the Warren County Human Society. Their booth was manned by a family of volunteers; Leslie Treutlein and her children Patrick and Kyra. This was their first year volunteering at the Zombie Walk. Bauserman, who organizes the Zombie Walk answered some questions as well. “How this all got started was when some friends and I were sitting around talking after watching the Walking Dead and they dared me to start a Zombie Walk. So, with a lot of research we planned the first one and we didn’t really expect this to keep growing the way that it has. It has been a really fun experience,” she told us. When asked about why she got the charities involved she replied, “I always wanted to give to the animals and help my fellow neighbors. C-Cap and the Humane Society seemed to be a perfect fit. My husband Scott and close friends have helped over the last three years as well.” For those unfamiliar with the popular television show “Walking Dead”, it’s a story that centers around a Zombie Apocalypse and the groups of humans who try to survive (and remain human) any way they can.

Early November, 2016 • Warren & Frederick County Report • Page 9 growing crowd of Zombies attempting to blend in and we spoke to some of them to see what had driven them out in the fading daylight. Two members of the undead were Front Royal residents, Lyle and Mindy Alexander. They spoke about coming out to enjoy the fresh air, contributing to worthy charities and having a fun night out. Another Front Royal residen,t Elizabeth McCullvers, was there for the first time supporting the Humane Society. She went as a medical Zombie and wore her hospital scrubs.

She also had her pet dog walking with her. By the way, according to McCullvers, Zombies only have a taste for human brains so all of our four legged friends were safe. As the evening wore on, the crowd grew larger and the Zombies appeared to get more and more restless as a large group of them were attracted to a news van and some even attempted to climb up onto the van to get at some worried journalists. At this point we decided to find safer ground so we headed up Ches-

ter Street to the Main Street Gazebo. Surely we would be safe at the town square. But alas, the strange charitydriven crowd of Zombies made their way from Bing Crosby Stadium and stopped at the Main Street Gazebo. The human residents didn’t seem too worried about the approaching Zombies and once the Zombies finally arrived they were content to hang out with Front Royal’s human residents, to enjoy the music and even partake in some food. A small group of zombies attempted to cause a fuss, but Vice Mayor

Hollis Tharpe successfully held them off and calmed them down. As 8:00 p.m. came around, Zombies and humans alike slowly drifted back to their cars and trucks leaving us all to wonder, “Will we see a reap-

pearance of the Front Royal Zombies next year?” – tim@areaguides.com

Roxanne Bauserman, organizer of the Third Annual Zombie Walk, appears to be losing her eye as she gets ready to lead the group of Zombies along Chester St. to Main Street and the Gazebo for the Zombie Gathering.

Council’s Eggers wants answers about IT Federal rumors EDA director responds with reasons connected to funding, VDOT delays and contracts

Councilwoman Bébhinn Egger asks for explanations of rumors about IT Federal, the company that plans to build a facility on a 30-acre site at the former Avtex Fibers plant.

Mayor Timothy Darr thanks the members of the Friends of Rachel Club for their donation of $150 for Halloween candy for the Hometown Halloween event scheduled for October 31. By Timothy Ratigan Warren & Frederick County Report At Front Royal’s October 24 town council meeting, Councilwoman Bébhinn Egger asked Jennifer McDonald, who is director of the town’s Economic Development Authority, to clear up rumors surrounding IT Federal.

IT Federal is the company that plans to build a facility on a 30-acre site at the former Avtex Fibers plant, and broke ground a year ago. The expected cost of the project is predicted to be close to $40 million is expected to hire 600 people when the facility is completed. But the firm has run into some unexpected delays since they broke

ground. One of the delays involves waiting on a reply from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) about funds to extend West Main Street. “What we’re waiting on is approval of the industrial access funds to see if this West Main Street is going to be constructed anytime soon,” said McDonald. Vice Mayor Hollis Tharpe asked her if IT Federal will submit their two site plans to Jeremy Camp, director of the Department of Planning and Zoning. “Once we hear from VDOT, and if we don’t hear from them in the next two weeks, you’re going to get a plan that shows them coming off Kendrick Lane. That’s their deadline. They, IT Federal, can’t wait any longer,” McDonald replied. At this point, Egger asked her questions on the subject. She asked McDonald to explain the kinds of contracts and total value that IT Federal will have. McDonald explained, without going into detail, that IT Federal has

Warren County Economic Development Authority Director Jennifer McDonald responds to Councilwoman Bébhinn Egger’s questions about IT Federal. contracts with the nuclear defense department that area officials would probably never see because of their security content, but did say that the company has one contract valued at $130 million. She explained that the firm has more contracts and is working from an office in the Front Royal area because they are waiting on a letter from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pertaining to the proposed site as well as word from VDOT regarding the proposed extension on West Main Street. Egger asked her to explain the $10 million loan related to IT Federal that the town recently made to the EDA. “That was for them to start construction when we thought we had everything we needed. They have had to use some of the loan for their

engineering services but they still have the bulk of that in the account that we have access to,” said McDonald. Egger then asked McDonald if she had heard of Front Royal Farms LLC and if it had any connection to IT Federal. McDonald replied that the owner of IT Federal also owned Front Royal Farms and had purchased the property on Happy Creek Road. She said that the owner plans to live there. Egger told her that on their website, it looked like a business. McDonald responded by saying that the farm is not a business now, but the owner plans on opening a business in the future and wants to use the property as his residence. Egger said she had seen an IT Federal website that said they were a division of VDN Systems, Inc. McDonald responded to that and said the IT Federal scheduled to be built in Front Royal does not have a website. She explained that the web site Egger was referring to came online the day after the announcement was made in 2015 that IT Federal would be locating in Front Royal.

Early November, 2016 • Warren & Frederick County Report • Page 11 ing for a public hearing on a special use permit application for an exception request, acceptance of right of way, and right of way reservation, proposed by the Warren County Economic Development Authority for a workforce housing project. This calls for the development of three 12-unit apartment buildings with a total of 36 units at the end of Royal Lane. The EDA maintains that the apartments will be used as workforce housing for area employees who cannot afford to purchase a home. The target workforce employees are police officers and teachers who tend to make too much to qualify for subsidized housing and not enough to purchase a home. When the public hearing was open, two people spoke on the subject. Glee Plough wanted to know if the units would be rented out to workers needing temporary housing. McDonald answered that the proposed housing will be directed towards law enforcement officers, teachers and other professionals.

The other speaker was a resident of the Royal Lane area, and did not identify herself. She voiced concerns that the added traffic would cause problems because Royal Lane is a dead-end street and questioned the necessity of workforce housing in Front Royal. She also wanted to know whether teachers would even use the housing, then called it bad planning. Egger also spoke out against the workforce housing proposal and said Front Royal already had plenty of rentals available. She maintained that since the town is made up of 75 percent rentals, it didn’t need any more. At the first reading, council voted 5-1 to approve the resolution, with Egger voting against. The next item on the agenda was a public hearing to receive input/ approval of a resolution to sell roperty the town owns at 24 West Main Street, the former home of Front Royal’s police department. Jerry Welcome, one of the partners seeking to purchase the property, has hopes of turning it into a restaurant and brewery and spoke during the

public hearing. The developers want to open the proposed business in August 2017. The business, which will include a full restaurant featuring as many locally inspired and crafted foods as possible, will offer brewed on-site craft beer. “We think this will add an awful lot to Main Street and we hope that, you know, we can be one of those businesses that will be an open dining enjoyment,” Welcome said. He said the business would redevelop a surplus town building, create 20-25 new jobs and make a destination for tourists. Councilmen Eugene Tewalt, John Connolly and Egger spoke in favor of the resolution and the vote was 6-0 to approve it. It will move on to a second reading. The council also: voted 6-0 to approve a resolution to apply for a VDOT Alternatives Grant which would provide funds for the proposed Criser Road trail. voted 5-1 to approve on its second reading the application for a special

Last on the agenda was the acceptance of a donation of candy with a value of $150 from the Friends of Rachel Club at Skyline High School. The candy will be used during Front Royal’s Hometown Halloween, an event put on by the town and local businesses along Main Street on October 31. Mayor Timothy Darr then adjourned the meeting. – tim@areaguides.com

exception regarding road width from Front Royal Limited Partnership for certain roads within a proposed 149acre development close to Happy Creek Road. Tewalt again spoke against the measure, saying he was “appalled” that the council would approve an exception just six months after adopting a set of new regulations to the town code pertaining to road widths. Egger spoke in favor of the measure and reminded the council that

Safe Halloween Fun for Families A safe and fun option for Halloween is Old Town Winchester’s Spooktacular Celebration on Saturday, October 29th on the Loudoun Street Mall. The fun will kick-off at 11:00 a.m. when Posh Pets will host a pet parade. Children can enjoy trickor-treating at participating businesses from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Trick-or-treating will take place in the City of Winchester on Monday, October 31st. Winchester Police recommend children begin trickor-treating at dusk and conclude by 8:00 p.m. Residents are reminded to drive slowly all evening, and look for children crossing the road. If you see any suspicious activity, report it immediately to the police department. The following are safety tips parents should keep in mind as their children head out trick-or-treating. Costumes should be: Light colored or have reflective tape. Flame-retardant so little ones aren’t in danger near candlelit jacko-lanterns. Appropriate length to prevent trips or falls.

Parents are also encouraged to check their children’s candy to ensure it is safe to eat. Parents should throw away any candy that is unwrapped or appears to have been opened. They should also look for punctures or pinholes in the wrappers. Homemade items or baked goods should be discarded, unless you personally know who gave them to you. Officers say the best motto is “when in doubt, throw it out.” The Police Department is also wants to remind residents who may be going to Halloween parties to call a cab or designate a driver if you will be drinking. We wish everyone a fun

nounced $65,000 in Virginia Main Street program grant funding for five projects in the towns of Bedford and Blackstone, and the cities of Fredericksburg, Franklin and Winchester. In the last five years, designated Main Street communities have sparked more than $159 million in private investment in their districts. This has resulted in a net collective gain of 4,400 jobs across Virginia’s Main Street downtown districts. Winchester’s Old Towne Development Board will receive $5,000 for its Façade Grant Program. “One of our best strategies for driving economic growth in Virginia’s localities is to focus revitalization around historic Main Street communities,” said Governor McAuliffe. “Virginia’s Main Streets Program is a central part of our plan for growing small business ecosystems and homegrown entrepreneurship, as well as bolstering tourism for our towns and cities. We will continue to invest in the Commonwealth’s historic downtown neighborhoods, which play a vital role in local job growth and revitalization, as we build a new Virginia economy.” The Downtown Investment Grants, administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), are for design and economic vitality projects targeting areas of specific need in historic downtown neighborhoods located in Virginia Main Street communities. Grants are available to designated Main Street organizations to accelerate the economic revitalization of their downtown districts by helping implement innovative strategies, plans and programs that create an environment for increased private investment. “Since the inception of the Virginia Main Street program, the communities served have generated more than $716 million in private investments and created almost 16,000 jobs,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Todd Haymore. “Through these grants, we are continuing to partner with our downtowns and Main Street organizations to create vibrant communities that are attracting residents and businesses, and driving tourism.” In 1985, DHCD adopted the Virginia Main Street program to help downtown districts across the Commonwealth avoid economic decline and possible demolition. This unique program works to re-energize economic development of downtown communities, while using their cultural assets and character. This development is further accomplished by pooling the resources of local civic and business leaders who are determined to bring Main Street communities back to life. The innovative Four-Point Approach program uses design, promotion, economic vitality and organization to reach its goal to help localities build better communities. The Virginia Main Street program is comprised of 29 designated communities and a host of Commercial Affiliate Districts throughout Virginia.

James Markham Marshall remembered and honored at ceremony One of Virginia’s first patriots and Warren County’s earliest residents honored

The musket salute was given by Colonel James Wood II Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution members dressed in authentic 1770 uniforms. The historically garbed participants in the grave marker ceremony for James Markham Marshall Revolutionary War hero and former local resident are: from left to right - Jack Lillis-Militia Color Guard; The Reverend Larry Johnson of Front Royal Episcopal Church; Sons of the Revolution Captain Brett Osborn; Cara Marshall Aylor, descendent of James Marshall; Rob Andrews-Captain of the Color Guard; and bagpipe musician William Wood. By Carol Ballard Warren & Frederick County Report At 11:00 a.m. on a peaceful and sunny fall Saturday, members of the Warren Heritage Society, Colonel James Wood II Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution and members of the Marshall family, several who had come as far away as South Dakota, gathered at the Marshall family cemetery, high on a hill overlooking fields and grazing cows to honor James Markham Marshall, one of the country’s first patriots who made his home in what is now Warren County. On October 15, the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), counterpart to the Daughters of the American Revolution, performed the ceremony to place a special grave marker at the family cemetery on Marys Shady Lane, just off Happy Creek Road. James M. Marshall was an officer during the American Revolution, and not only a local resident, but also the younger brother to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Curtis Marshall. The event served not only to help remember and honor those who fought to claim and keep America’s independence in the past, but to do the same for those who serve now. It also reminds us that all citizens need to continue to work and live for the right to be free. The ceremony included introductory remarks by Captain Brett Osborn of the local chapter of the Sons of the American who talked about the value of maintaining the cemeteries and keeping us mindful of

our heritage. He also called on the “Fathers of our liberty of old” to keep us and protect our troops around the world. An Invocation at the beginning of the ceremony and a Benediction at the end were given by the Reverend Dr. Raleigh Watson, who also asked for Divine help to “keep us and strengthen us in these days.” After the invocation, the color guard carried in the flags and placed them behind Marshall’s marker. Fred Gill led the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag, and Dale Corey, a descendant of James Marshall, read the SAR pledge, which states, “We descendants of the American Revolution who, by their sacrifices, established the United States of America, reaffirm our faith in the principles of liberty and our Con-

stitutional Republic, and solemnly pledge ourselves to defend them against every foe.” Brett Osborn kept the event moving along smoothly and introduced Cara Marshall Aylor, a descendant of James Marshall and granddaughter of Elliott Marshall, who spoke as a representative of the family. “No one can speak from the grave, directly, but I wonder what he would think of the state of affairs today,” she said, referring to James Marshall. She connected her present family’s history to the site and mentioned that her parents who live in California, will someday be buried in the cemetery. With a humble attitude, she said she believed that DNA (hers) might not be as significant as the efforts shown by the people who were present that day. “Look at you who have taken the time and attention to come to the ceremony. You are significant. Why you’re here today is to give time to educate, to give and support our children and grandchildren and those who haven’t had the education

to learn about our founders. The part the Sons of the American Revolution play in bringing history alive, the scholarships, awards, and community activities they’re involved in, makes me think, “Wow!” and I’d like to learn more,” she said.

She added that she wanted to show appreciation to the Warren Heritage Society for recognizing the history of her family. “They’ve been friends and advocates over the years,” she said. She went on to give some history about James Marshall. Early in the war, he sent a letter to George Washington asking to be an Aide de Camp. He said he had a strong desire to do his duty, was sincere and respectful and hoped to be fit for the post. (In 1779, at age 15, Marshall joined the Continental Army as a private, and that year became a captain in the 1st Virginia Regiment.) Aylor continued with her personal feelings about the cemetery. “This place means more than just history. Our Marshall family is buried here—we’ve gathered in the past for reunions and family celebrations, but no one can stop the forward march of time. We’d like this to remain.

Changes are coming to Happy Creek—all will change significantly and drastically. We would like to create something nice here, maybe a park for people to come and enjoy, for the town of Front Royal and their families,” she said. She ended on a personal hopeful note. “In addition, I would like to be successful and find ways to help others to be successful. This means a lot to my family and I hope to meet again,” she added.

After Aylor’s words, Dale Corey, a descendant of James Markham Marshall, pulled back the cloth and uncovered the grave markers. The ceremony continued with the placing of a wreath, and a very realistic musket salute by SAR members attired in 1770s uniforms. “Hope we don’t kill the cows in the field over there,” the musketeers joked, as they raised their guns to fire. They had oiled the barrels of the guns before the ceremony and firing them went off smoothly, but it was obvious that during a battle, firing,

then stopping to reload must have seemed agonizingly slow. William Wood, who was standing under one of the shady trees at the site, played “Amazing Grace” on the bagpipes, dressed in traditional Scottish regalia after the smoke cleared. The color guard appeared again to retire the colors. Folks attending the ceremony watched respectfully and several commented on the peaceful setting and scenery. Mike Seal, who is the cemetery’s groundskeeper said, “I love it here. I’ve been working up here for years, and added that Elliott Marshall, a family member, wants to preserve the stone wall that surrounds the cemetery. For those who don’t know the history of James Markham Marshall, he was born in Fauquier County on March 12, 1764 and died April 26, 1848, and lived in what is now Warren County. He was one of the most distinguished Americans of his day, following in the tradition of his family and older brother, Chief Justice John Curtis Marshall, who gave his name to one of Warren County’s main highways. He was one of 10 children, all who were educated at home. His career took him far away from Virginia and he survived and thrived through exciting and dangerous times. As a young lieutenant in Alexander Hamilton’s regiment of the Continental Army, James Marshall led what was called “the forlorn hope” in an attack upon the fort in the siege of Yorktown. After the war, he spent a few years in Kentucky, highlighted by a duel which he fought with James Brown, later U.S. Minister to France and Senator from Louisiana. In 1795, he married Hester Morris, daughter of Robert Morris, the “Financier of the Revolution.” Soon after his marriage, James Marshall was sent by President George Washington to France as Minister Plenipotentiary to negotiate the release of Lafayette from an Austrian prison, and was successful.

wall-to-wall carpet and a handsome mahogany Pembroke table for his “Happy Creek House.” Marshall remained abroad for two years as agent of the North American Land Company which was developing extensive properties in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky. While in England, James Marshall bought from the heirs of Lord Fairfax some 180,000 acres of the vast Northern Neck Proprietary of Virginia. This resulted in his becoming a wealthy Virginia gentleman. He successfully practiced law in Winchester, and established his home on his Happy Creek lands. Most of his “Happy Creek House”, a 16-room mansion built from native limestone, with high ceilings, 18 feet high windows and an impressive stairway, burned down in 1913, and since has crumbled, but some of its walls can still be seen today across a small hollow from the Marshall Family Cemetery.

JULES Caribbean BBQ Restaurant has come to town

Jules Foeaman stirs a pan of pulled pork which is on the menu at Jules BBQ Caribbean restaurant in Front Royal.

The smoker in front of Jules BBQ is loaded with meats slow cooking over hickory logs. By Carol Ballard Warren & Frederick County Report Jules Foeaman learned to cook outdoors over fire in the Caribbean country where he grew up, so barbecuing delicious food comes easily to him. Fortunately for Front Royal, he has recently opened Jules BBQ Caribbean Restaurant at 1202 North Royal Avenue and customers have been lining up to see what is on the menu. “I’ve been in the food business all

my life one way or another,” he said, and added that his parents were his first teachers in the art of cooking. His mother often cooked her flavorful soups in a pot over a fire outside their home. Recently he had his own roadside barbecue stand outside of Lucketts, and had another one in Leesburg before that. He’s also been a chef in high-end restaurants in Northern Virginia. His fame precedes him. Facebook followers rave about his

food. “Got a giant lunch of BBQ from Jules! Ribs, BBQ chicken, jerk chicken and pulled pork. Smoky, herbaceous and yummy!” posted one fan. He uses hickory wood, and a stack of it rests inside the restaurant, waiting to be used for the ribs, wings and jerk chicken. He’s originally from Surinam, or Dutch Guiana, a Caribbean country on the northeastern coast of South America, and considers himself Creole, which make up about 30 percent of the population. The food from his native country is as varied as the population. Yellow rice, fried rice and coconut rice can

be found on his menu to accompany the red beans and as a side dish. The jerk chicken is unique on his menu because it isn’t Surinamese Creole, which he says is the heart of his food. “There’s a lot more to Caribbean cooking than is generally knownmuch diversity,” he said. The chicken curry at Jules BBQ is an Indian recipe from people who migrated to Surinam and brought their cuisine with them, and he said that the dish is becoming a lot more popular. “They like to make it hot in the Caribbean, but no one can eat it but us,” he said with a smile.

Even Indonesian food has been modified in Surinam, where cloves have been added to coconut rice. Over the years, people have come from India, Africa, Indonesia and China, but the Creole “have our own language, culture and food,” he said. For example, red beans and rice, cabbage with potatoes, collards, peanut soup and Brown stew chicken are typical of Surinamese Creole, and a lot of people tell him they’ve never tasted food like this before. Jules said he has opened restaurants for others, but this is the first one for himself. Wanting to go into business for himself has been an ongoing dream. Finally, after a friend

Early November, 2016 • Warren & Frederick County Report • Page 17 found the right place for him in Front Royal on Craiglist, it has become a reality. He said he has and worked hard to be able to open his own place, and has financed it himself. The restaurant has been open only since the third week of September, when it was open for one day. Since then it was open three days a week, and now his plan is to be open for four days, from Tuesday until Saturday. He has a friendly attitude, but an independent one too. “I like to talk to people, but I don’t like to have a boss,” he said. That motivated him to go on his own, but he added that since he has his own business, it turns out that “everyone is my boss!” Jules has a unique way to make the food in his own style, pleasing customers who “have become his boss.” He ages the chicken in his 16-ingredient marinade for a week and includes characteristically Caribbean ingredients like Scotch Bonnet peppers, sage, thyme and allspice. Ribs

are soaked for a day-and-a-half in a salt-sugar-vinegar brine, then sit in a marinade of paprika, brown sugar and oregano, and other ingredients before being hickory smoked for eight hours more. A review by critic Bob LeBlanc says, “Jules spends two days doublecooking the meats which makes them incredibly tender and packed with flavor. They are still whole on the grill until you order, then Jules cuts them right before he plates them. They literally fall off the bone with little effort.” Jules has found that since he’s been open the most popular dishes so far are ribs, pulled pork, jerk chicken and barbecued chicken and wings, but his vegetable sides are intriguing and unusual. Red beans and rice, sautéed cabbage with potatoes and collard greens are not found in most places. The average restaurant serves mostly broccoli, spinach and zucchini. “You’re lucky if they throw a green bean at you,” he said, with a laugh. “I’m not every other restaurant,” he

tells his suppliers when they try to sell him on the idea of buying standard vegetables. He said he’ll be offering eggplant soon, which he will prepare like they do in the Dutch Caribbean. First he smokes it with the skin on to retain vitamins and flavor, then peels it. After that, it’s sautéed with onions and garlic. That sounds like a dish to look forward to. He said that vegetarians will be happy to know that none of the vegetable dishes have added meat, and though some traditionally are cooked with meat, his aren’t. Even though the restaurant is small, it has a lot of items on the menu. These include hamburgers, Browns stew chicken, pulled pork, beef, chicken quesadillas and soup. He often has a special peanut soup on the menu. An entrée salad sounds like a meal. It’s described as: Fresh field greens topped with carrots; sliced apples and dates filled with blue cheese and drizzled with balsamic vinegar;

and topped with a choice of blue cheese or balsamic vinaigrette. Sides include cornbread, macaroni and cheese, Pico de gallo and Vinaigrette coleslaw. The cozy restaurant can seat about 12 people right now, but will be able to accommodate more with a little rearranging, he said. “I want it to be a nice small friendly restaurant, where people can come and sit as long as they like, enjoy their dinner and have a conversation,” he said. He does a lot of catering weddings, parties-including Super Bowl events in Loudoun County, but he’s available to cater locally also. He has a few goals for the restaurant, some of which depend on getting reliable staff to help. Eventually he sees having craft beer and good

Warren County Dedicates Farms Riverview Boat Ramp

Farms Riverview Boat Landing Warren County held the official ribbon cutting for the new Farms Riverview Boat Ramp on Friday, October 7th. The Landing, located on the main stem of the Shenandoah, is accessed off Farms Riverview Road via Myers Drive in the Shenandoah Farms area of Warren County. Board of Supervisors Vice-Chair Archie Fox stated, “The Shenandoah River is one of the great assets and treasures of our community. Unfortunately we don’t have a lot of good public access points for residents to get to it. I am grateful that our Board recognizes the opportunities that the river presents and continue to invest in improving access for our residents and visitors.” Fox also thanked the County Administration staff, particularly Bob Childress for managing the construction of the site and Brandy Rosser for obtaining

Farms Riverview Boat Ramp the grant funding and for coordinating the design of the project. He also thanked Alan Munson, Project Manager, Equipment Operator Lee Cockrell, and the Parks and Recreation Maintenance staff for their work in building the concrete ramp and other amenities on the site. “We are truly lucky to have such talented employees on our staff.” Supervisor Tom Sayre, Supervisor for the Shenandoah District the

landing lies within, hailed the wonderful boat access ramp and park for recreation and quality family living on and by the Shenandoah River. Mr. Sayre further noted the considerable improvements of tar and chip to the Farms Riverview Road and Myers Drive which lead directly to the boat landing. Furthermore, he spoke of other proposed improvements to the area that are in the works including a new

solid waste compactor and recycling center and the upcoming culvert repairs and paving improvements to Blue Mountain Road to rural rustic standards. Mr. Sayre also spoke of the safety improvements to the school bus stop for children, parents and guardians, and of the newly installed guardrail along Howesville Road by the McDonald house. In opening the ceremony, County Administrator Doug Stanley stated,

“the opening of this facility today is a culmination of 20 years of efforts by the County. In 1996 our community was blessed with two 100 Year floods – the first in January following a quick snow melt and the second in September following Hurricane Fran. In the aftermath the County, working with the Community Development Block Grant Program, received funding to cleanup a number of home sites along the river where homeowners were not allowed to rebuild. This was one such site. Fortunately the County had the foresight to identify the site as a potential river access point at the time.” Stanley noted that the site lies almost equidistant between the Morgan Ford landing site 4.78 miles upriver and the Berry’s Ford site at Route 50 in Clarke 6.28 miles downriver. With the closing this year of the Morgan Ford landing with the replacement of the bridge, the opening of this site is extremely timely as it represents the only public site between the Riverton Landing and Route 50. Warren County Parks and Recreation Director Dan Lenz added, “This boat landing assists our overall goal in our parks and recreation facilities master plan on river access in this part of the river…there are far

Skyline High School student charged with making threats

On October 21st, 2016 at approximately 07:57 the Warren County Sheriff ’s Office received information from Skyline High School Principal Michael Smith concerning an 18 year old student making a threat to harm students at school today. The threat was deemed to be credible and was made through a social media messenger account. The school became aware when the information was brought forward by a student at ap-

proximately 07:55. School Resource Officers, Deputy Brenner and Sergeant Kirkland immediately responded to the school and the suspect was apprehended at the buses before entering the school. The suspect was found to be unarmed. The suspect is Patrick Boley of Front Royal Virginia 18 years of age.

Boley has been charged with 18.260: Threats to commit serious bodily harm to persons on school property. Boley was taken to RSW regional jail and was held without bond. Sorry Facebook, Front Royal hasn’t really cancelled Halloween

Engle’s Angle: “Boo!” By Kevin S. Engle

company informs me they couldn’t cash my unsigned check, my payment will be late and our credit ruined. Life as I know it will be over. And that’s why I inspect that check at least 17 times before stuffing it in the envelope. Did I use this year’s date? The right dollar amount? Did I spell out the numbers correctly? Did I sign it? And what if I put it in the wrong envelope? Send my Visa payment to the insurance company? Now my car insurance will lapse and Visa will slap me with a late fee and a 28% interest charge. A friend gave me a copy of National Geographic. I had another issue as well, a different month, from the library. I was worried I’d mix them up and return his to the library. Scary movies. If there are ghosts or vampires or zombies, or it’s too intense, I’m not watching. Things that go bump in the night. “What was that?” I’ll wonder when my wife is away, and I’m home, alone. It happens every time. I lie awake in bed, listening to every little sound. Whenever my wife starts a conversation with the words “I was thinking.” That’s typically followed by why we need to spend a lot of money on something. Like a new mattress for our bed. Why can’t we just sleep in the spare room? That one doesn’t get used much. The bill from my psychiatrist to talk about all this. I’m starting to sweat.

You know what scares me? A lot. Women with tattoos. They scare me. If they’re tough enough to get one, they’re more than tough enough to kick my butt. Birds and squirrels getting in the house. I was washing windows recently. I kept thinking a bird would fly in every time I took out a screen and opened the window. What would you do? You see them flying around in places like Lowe’s and Home Depot. I don’t want to think about it. Or what if a squirrel scampered in when I open a door? How would you get him out? I worry about losing things. I stopped at the post office a while back and narrowly avoided disaster. I got out of the car and fumbled with my keys, almost dropping them. And that’s when I saw it. The storm drain. Yikes. Last year I dropped my Fitbit in our closet. It bounced once and fell into the heating duct work. I thought it was a goner. Luckily, I was able to rescue it. My wife has jewelry cleaning solution. She keeps it under the bathroom sink. I use it every so often to wash my wedding ring. What if it fell down the drain? Paying bills used to scare me. When we first got married, my wife joked that I’d break out in a sweat every time I wrote a check. It was true. This year’s Presidential I still write a few checks each Election scares the author. A month and I’m always worried lot. I’ll forget to sign it. – kevinengle456@comcast.net By the time my credit card

• It was Bulgarian-French philosopher Tzvetan Todorov who made the following sage observation: “We should not be simply fighting evil in the name of good, but struggling against the certainties of people who claim always to know where good and evil are to be found.” • As Halloween approaches, it’s interesting to note that in 16 states, you won’t pay taxes on the candy you buy for trick-or-treaters; for tax purposes, candy is categorized as groceries. Of course, there’s room for debate over what qualifies as candy; breath mints and gum are usually included, along with the obvious — chocolate bars, hard candies and such. The tax code can get even more detailed than that, though; for instance, in Florida (which taxes candy but not groceries), marshmallows are tax-exempt, but marshmallow candies are not. • The seahorse is the only animal whose head is positioned at a right angle to its body. • Recently retired sportscaster Vin Scully served 67 seasons as the playby-play announcer for the Dodgers — starting in Brooklyn in 1950, then moving with the team to Los Angeles in 1958 — making him the longest-tenured broadcaster with with a single team in the history of professional sports. Over the years he’s had many fans, including Chris Carter, creator of the long-running TV series “The X Files.” One of the main characters, Dana Scully (played by actress Gillian Anderson), was named for the sportscaster. • In William Shakespeare’s day, the sound of thunder often was described as a “rounce-robble-hobble.” *** Thought for the Day: “Patriotism, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit it is the first.” — Ambrose Bierce

No school?! Grab some friends and join in on some structured and nonstructured activities such as pick-up • On Nov. 14, 1851, “Moby-Dick,” a novel by Herman Melville about the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod, is published under the title “The Whale.” The book contains one of the most famous opening lines in fiction: “Call me Ishmael.” • On Nov. 19, 1915, British airman Richard Bell Davies performs a daring rescue, swooping down in his single-seat scout plane to whisk a downed fellow pilot from behind Turkish lines just as enemy soldiers approached. • On Nov. 16, 1945, the United States ships 88 German rocket scientists to America. The U.S. government was desperate to acquire the scientific know-how that had produced German rockets during World War II. • On Nov. 17, 1958, the Kingston Trio’s “Tom Dooley” hits No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart. The song was probably first sung sometime after 1868, when a North Carolina man named Tom Dula was hanged for the murder of his fiancée. • On Nov. 15, 1965, at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, 28-year-old Californian Craig Breedlove sets a new landspeed record of 600.6 mph in the Spirit of America. The car was powered by a Navy jet engine. • On Nov. 20, 1982, the Cal football team wins an improbable last-second victory over Stanford when they complete five lateral passes around members of the Cardinals’ marching band, who had come onto the field a bit early. Cal’s Kevin Moen careened through the confused horn section to reach the end zone, where he slammed into a trombone player. The touchdown counted, and Cal won 25-20. • On Nov. 18, 1991, Shiite Muslim kidnappers in Lebanon free Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite after more than four years of captivity. Waite had secured the release of missionaries detained in Iran, British hostages from Libya and even American hostages from Lebanon before he was seized in Beirut. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

blooms when the shad (fish) run and Juneberry because it berries in June. No matter the name this is a great smaller tree. But this tells us why they came up with a scientific way of naming trees and other plants. The confusion shown by all the names for the Shadbush tells us how Latin names can be helpful. Latin names may seem to be more confusing but they can be helpful especially if you are looking for a specific tree to plant in your yard. If you want a red maple you’d be upset if you came home with a silver maple. Nurseries will identify a tree by its common name but also indicate its Latin name. For example, all maples have the Genus name of Acer but then different types of maples or oaks for example will have different species names. A red maple will be Acer rubrum and a silver maple will be Acer saccharinum. The second name (the species name)

can also provide a description. It might tell something about the color of the leaves (rubra/rubrum - red), the shape of the leaf (palmatum - shaped like a hand), its origins (virginiana - native to Virginia), or it’s form (prostata - prostrate). This two-part naming system is referred to as the binomial system of nomenclature. If I tell you that Quercus is the genus name for oak, can you guess what kind of oak Quercus rubra is? Correct, it’s a Red Oak. Things can get a little more complicated from there because people have developed new types of trees from selection or discovered new types in nature and there may be multiple types of red maples such as the Acer rubrum ‘October Glory,’ a cultivar of the red maple. I hope this helps.

DIVORCE

Stephens City Mennonite Church welcomed their new pastor Merle Christner and his wife Evie with an installation service and luncheon on Sunday, October 16. Stephens City Mennonite Church at 5540 Valley Pike welcomed their new pastor, Merle Christner, with an installation service and luncheon on Sunday, October 16, 2016. Duane Yoder, pastor of Lindale Mennonite Church, Linville, Va., gave the sermon. H. Michael Shenk III, an overseer in the Northern District of Virginia Mennonite Conference conducted the installation service. Members of the church provided special music and participated in a special prayer time for their new pastor and his wife. Prior to experiencing his call to the ministry, Pastor Christner worked in the printing industry for many years. He then attended Hesston College, Hesston, Kan., graduating from the Pastoral Ministries Program in 2007. Merle and his wife, Evie, came to Stephens City after spending eight years as pastor for Pinto Mennonite Church near Cumberland, Md. They have three married children and seven grandchildren. Stephens City Mennonite Church’s vision statement is, “As followers of Jesus, we strive to wor-

ship God and live Christ’s message of Love, Peace, and Reconciliation.” Speaking against violence and practicing peaceful living in all relationships by following the example of Jesus is an important emphasis in this church community. As a part of the Stephens City community, the church serves as the location of the after-school program, JUST 4 KIDS, in cooperation with two other church groups as well as a practice site for several community music groups and as a location for some Korean Mennonite Church activities. Members of the church also serve by packing Bags of Love for a local elementary school and representing the church in other community groups such as WATTS, Abba Pregnancy Care, and C-CAP. As a part of Virginia Mennonite Conference of Mennonite Church USA, the church serves in a wider area through Mennonite Disaster Service, Mennonite Central Committee, and Mennonite Missions. Stephens City Mennonite Church welcomes all who would join in serving Christ in our daily lives and in the journey toward healing and hope for the world.

VIRGINIA Progress Continues on the New Academic Building at LFCC’s Campus in Warrenton

Design and Official Name are pending state approval In November The Lord Fairfax Community College Board and the LFCC Educational Board have reviewed the design of the new STEM-H academic building and approved the building name: Eleanor C. and William A. Hazel Hall. The next step is review and approval by the state board of the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) at the November meeting. “It’s exciting to think about the many ways our new building will be used – not just by students, but also by the community,” explains Cheryl Thompson-Stacy, president of Lord Fairfax Community College. “In addition to high-tech classrooms and carefully designed labs, we will finally have a large multipurpose room. We

look forward to hosting events and welcoming businesses and organizations to use our conference space.” Architect The state contract for the design and construction management of the building was awarded to Grimm + Parker Architects. Recent G+P projects include the Regional Center for Workforce Education and Training at the Woodbridge Campus of Northern Virginia Community College. The firm also designed the new Student Union and the renovation of Fairfax Hall, both at LFCC’s Middletown Campus, as well as the campus master plan for the Middletown and Warrenton locations. Building Details This will be a 2-story, 40,000 square foot building. The first floor will feature a large conference center. It will also contain engineering & fabrication labs, a dividable classroom, faculty offices, lounge, small informal conference/ study spaces, and service space. The second floor will contain a nursing skills lab, simulation labs, dissection lab, chemistry, biology,

and flexible science labs, a lounge and other informal student study spaces. Hazel Hall will be situated across a beautiful new quad from Wolk Hall, the Sowder Library, and the Barn. The building will be prominent as one drives up the entrance road to campus. Timeline The college hosted several campus forums earlier this year to gather input on both the design of the building and its functionality. A building committee, made up of LFCC faculty and staff, has been providing guidance to the architectural team throughout the design process. Faculty members in certain disciplines have also provided input on laboratory and classroom specifications. Now that the schematic design phase is complete, the next phase is working on preliminary designs and then the final working drawings. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2018, with completion in summer of 2019. A general contractor has not yet been selected, but is anticipated to be on board early next year.

Funding The total project cost is approximately $20 million. State funds will cover half of the design expenses as well as $17 million for construction. The late William Hazel was a strong supporter of community colleges. His wife Eleanor and their five children share his belief in the LFCC mission, and, in 2013, pledged $1 million to start the campaign for a new academic building at the campus in Warrenton. link to previous media coverage The LFCC Educational Foundation has set a goal to raise $2.75 million in private funds for design and site work. To date, $2.35 million has been raised. In addition to the $1 million gift from the Hazel family, the PATH Foundation also awarded a $1 million grant to support the project.

Warren County Parks & Rec Flag Football champion teams

The college is required to pay for site work expenses, such as excavation and bringing utilities to the building. Liv Heggoy, Executive Director of the LFCC Foundation, is confident that the fundraising goal will be met. “There are many naming opportunities in the new building and strong community support. The Fauquier Campus of LFCC is a great example of what is possible when the state of Virginia and a local community work together.”

About 30 cars can be parked safely in the lot at any given time, and with a suggested donation of $10 and the generosity of many who gave more than that for the cause, $1,100 was collected.

across the road in front of you for signs of animals and movement. Animals may also be alongside the road, so make sure to look to the right and left, as well. While the most likely accident is you hitting an animal, on occasion they might also hit you by running into the side of your car. Be especially attentive in early morning and evening hours. Many animals, especially deer, are most active from 5-8 a.m. and 5-8 p.m. – prime commuting times for many people. Use high beams when there’s no oncoming traffic. You can spot animals sooner. Sometimes the light reflecting off their eyes will reveal their location. Slow down, and watch for other deer to appear. Deer rarely travel alone, so if you see one, there are likely to be more nearby. Slow down around curves. It’s harder to spot animals down the road when going around curves. See VIRGINIA, 28

FARMING SINCE 1898

Hillary Clinton may be the first candidate in American history to win a contest of personalities without having one. She has been content to make the election all about Donald Trump’s character, and Trump has obliged because, really, what else would he consider as fascinating and important as himself? In a more normal year, Obamacare would be a byword for the failures of liberal technocrat rule. Insurers have been exiting the exchanges, and many of those that are staying are hiking premiums by 20 percent or more. Even a Democratic governor, Mark Dayton of Minnesota, has said that Obamacare is “no longer affordable to increasing numbers of people.” In a more conventional election, President Barack Obama’s foreign policy would be under relentless assault. The Russian reset is in flames. Syria is Obama’s Rwanda. Iran, with its nuclear program intact, is making a bid for regional hegemony. ISIS established its caliphate in the space created by Obama’s passivity. In any other campaign, the economy would be front and center, and the slowest recovery in the post-World War II period a constant flashpoint. Instead, none of these issues have had the resonance of Donald Trump’s early-hours Twitter war with a former Miss Universe, or even his aside in the

• It was beloved Scottish author J.M. Barrie, creator of Peter Pan, who made the following sage observation: “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” • Among the Balonda people, an African tribe that dwells along the Zambezi River, it was once customary for a groom to promise that he’ll supply kindling wood to his mother-inlaw for the rest of her life. • Those who study such things — word mavens with a penchant for statistics, presumably — have determined that, on average, English-language text contains 56 e’s for every q. • A fisherman in the Philippines recently revealed a treasure that he’d been keeping under his bed for 10 years: a 75-pound natural pearl with an estimated value of $100 million. Evidently, after finding the pearl in a giant clam, he decided to keep it as a good-luck charm. The “Pearl of Puerto,” as it’s known, blew the world record out of the water (pun intended). The previous record holder for largest natural pearl was the “Pearl of LaoTsu” (sometimes called the “Pearl of Allah”), which weighs in at a mere 14 pounds. • The female Jesus bird is the one in charge, it would seem. She controls her own territory, allowing several male birds to build nests within it. Then she lays eggs in all the nests, and the males incubate them. • Before the Beach Boys were the Beach Boys, they considered naming their band the Pendletons. • The name “toadstool” actually has nothing to do with toads. The word is derived from the German words “tod,” which means “death,” and “stuhl,” which means “stool.” *** Thought for the Day: “Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.” — Edgar Allan Poe

Trump Is His Own Worst Enemy

third debate that Hillary Clinton is a “nasty woman.” And these have been third-tier controversies, compared with the ones that have truly rocked the campaign, like Trump’s post-convention fight with the Khan family and the airing of the “Access Hollywood” tape. It’s not as though Trump doesn’t talk about the issues. But nothing besides his core of immigration and trade has the force to escape the extreme gravitational pull of his persona, which is outsized, compelling and — in a presidential campaign — ripe for deconstruction. If Trump is defeated in November, he will lose, more than anything else, on the basis of his character flaws. His lack of discipline. His thin skin. His boastfulness. His refusal to admit error, even when it’s in his interest. His inability to project seriousness or to hit a grace note. The Clinton campaign has exploited them all, and Trump, ever himself, has lacked the self-awareness or wherewithal to keep from playing to type every single time. The so-called beer test is the usual personality metric in presidential politics. Which candidate would you prefer to share a cold one with? Hillary’s campaign has worked instead to make the personality benchmark the “nuclear code” test. Which candidate would you prefer to have his or her finger on the button? It is meant to portray Trump’s outrageousness as affirmatively dangerous, and cast her own persona — which belongs in the same leaden category as Al Gore or Michael Dukakis — in the best possible light. In the primaries, Trump displayed an uncanny ability to understand and target the vulnerabilities of his opponents. But he either never understood, or didn’t care to minimize, his own. This is why he chose to make the election about the single hardest thing for him to defend effectively, namely Donald J. Trump. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

and resulting in serious vehicle damage, personal injury, or even death.” “It is frightening and dangerous when a deer leaps onto the car seemingly out of nowhere,” said DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb, the Governor’s Highway Safety Representative, who survived a crash with a deer. “Staying keenly alert is your best defense, particularly this time of year.

By now you probably have heard the story from Cardinal Timothy Dolan, telling of a moment before the Al Smith dinner in New York where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump briefly met with him as they were about to enter. Dolan asked the two to pray with him, which they did, and then Trump, well ... why don’t we let Cardinal Dolan tell it: “[He] turned to Clinton and said, ‘You know, you are one tough and talented woman,’” adding, “This has been a good experience — this whole campaign — as tough as it’s been.” “Whatever happens, we need to work together afterward,” Clinton responded. It’s difficult to think any such warm and fuzzy conversation between the two of them would even be possible in a campaign that has been so brutally cold and abrasive. But let’s suspend our disbelief. After all, it’s a cardinal describing what happened. Whether their graciousness was sincere or not — and in politics almost nothing is sincere — Hillary’s comment about working together is going to be a vital imperative once the election is decided, if there’s any chance whatsoever of putting a stop to the nation being badly ripped to tatters. The United States is not united, and the shredding has been going on for many years. Trump exploited the division and made it worse, and assum-

ing it’s Hillary Clinton who wins, she will need Trump and his millions of intensely angry-at-everyone supporters to help stanch the bleeding and rescue a country that is weakened by, let’s be honest, hatred and distrust. We exist in separate antagonistic enclaves. It’s worse than the red state/ blue state boundary lines where the culture rigidly rules politics; it has even poisoned personal relationships. A Pew survey in June found that almost half of Clinton backers, 47 percent, said they have no close friends who support Donald Trump. Nearly a third, 31 percent, of the Trump supporters said none of their besties were in favor of Hillary Clinton. How do you achieve any national consensus with that kind of isolation? The answer is that you cannot. And in the past decades, we have not. But we must. Somehow, we must find a common ground or the ground beneath us will collapse, which is another way of saying the U.S. will not survive. So what’s a president to do? Whoever it is — and don’t assume yet that it’s certain to be Hillary — will have to lead us into changing our ways. A big reason for all the anger is that we believe we’re getting a raw deal. All of us believe that. We have to insist on ways to fairly distribute our wealth so that our society is more than a few super-rich people and millions of serfs. We must outgrow our hateful prejudices and somehow have to be better informed. Few in power seem to care much about statesmanship. Without it, we will continue to disintegrate. Our political system must reform into something that is not corrupt and obsolete. It’s in the interest of our politicians. If they don’t, they will be overthrown. They, and our country as we know it, will not have a prayer.

Contracts Awarded for Treatment Services and Juvenile Correction Center Alternatives Two service coordination agencies charged to develop a statewide continuum by the Department of Juvenile Justice Governor McAuliffe announced that the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) has awarded contracts to two experienced service coordination agencies to develop a statewide continuum of evidence-based treatment services and alternatives to placement in state operated juvenile correctional centers. The two agencies awarded the contracts are AMIkids (AMI) and Evidence Based Associates (EBA), and will assist in the transformation of Virginia’s juvenile justice system. “Transforming Virginia’s juvenile justice system toward community support networks and positive behavior reform has been a top priority of this administration since it began,” said Governor McAuliffe. “Far too often, a young person’s opportunity for treatment and rehabilitation depends on where they live or where they go to court. The award of these contracts and the development of a statewide system of services will help us tackle this problem of ‘justice by geography’ and ensure that, when young people get in trouble, they have access to the right kind of help and resources. I commend the Department of Juvenile Justice for their hard work on this issue and appreciate the strong bi-partisan support for reinvesting savings from facility downsizing toward developing these services and interventions.” The initial work of the contracts will involve identifying existing treatment capacity, developing new treatment capacity, and building the infrastructure necessary for referrals, coordination, billing, and performance measurement. AMI will coordinate services in the southern and eastern regions of Virginia, while

EBA will coordinate services in the northern, central, and western regions of Virginia. Service delivery will begin in 2017. “Community-based services, particularly those that are evidencebased, are often more effective and less costly than an out-of-home placement or commitment to a juvenile correctional center,” stated Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Brian Moran. “It will be critical that we give DJJ the opportunity to hold on to its savings from the closure of Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center so that it can make these investments and develop the services we know will help youth get back on the right track and improve public safety.” “To truly support the youth, families and communities we serve, we need to make sure that each court and each community across the Commonwealth has access to the right tools and supports,” said De-

partment of Juvenile Justice Director Andy Block. “The alternative placements and evidence-based services we develop through these contracts will mean safer and stronger communities and fewer young people committed to state custody.” AMIkids is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping troubled youth develop into responsible and productive citizens. The company has served more than 130,000 youth nationwide since its founding almost 50 years ago. To learn more, visit www.amikids.org.
