Sons of Confederate Veterans honor seven Mosby Rangers
Six of the Rebels were executed by Union troops in Front Royal during the Civil War
Sons of Confederate Veterans Parade the Colors in Confederate uniforms at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Front Royal on the anniversary of the execution of seven Mosby Rangers by Union forces.
By Timothy Ratigan Warren & Frederick County Report On the morning of September 23, 2017, approximately 20 Warren County residents gathered in late morning sunshine at Prospect Hill Cemetery around the Mosby’s Rangers Memorial to hold a remembrance ceremony. “Parade the Colors,” was sounded as a group of men dressed in Confederate uniforms brought forth the American Flag, Virginia State Flag and the Confederate Flag followed by a rifleman. The Color Guard stopped just behind the podium and remained at attention throughout the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag, Virginia State Flag and the call to remember the Confederate Flag. Jack Martin, Adjutant, Col. John S. Mosby Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Front Royal began the ceremony with these opening remarks. “September 23, 1864 represents a dark day in our country and our state and our town. Following the aborted attack of Mosby Rangers led by Sam Chapman during which a Union Lieutenant McMasters was mortally wounded supposedly in the act of surrendering, Union General Alfred Torbert ordered the execution of six of Mosby’s Rangers captured during the assault. David L. Jones and Lucian Love were shot behind the Methodist Church, Thomas E. Anderson was shot beneath an elm tree, and local resident
Henry Rhodes was shot in the field in front of Rose Hill. Rangers William Thomas Overby and Ranger Carter were hanged at the W. Carson Home. Ranger Albert Willis was later caught and executed in October during an exercise in Rappahannock County. Today marks the 153rd anniversary of the executions of the Mosby Rangers. We commemorate that event through the remembrance of their lives and their deaths,” said Martin. Martin introduced Richard Hoover who welcomed the keynote speaker, McKim Symington.
McKim Symington is a decorated two-tour Vietnam War infantry veteran, retired CIA case officer (Career Intelligence Medal and Intelligence Medal of Merit) and descendent of prominent Union and Confederate Officers. He is a grand nephew of Miss Clara Harris who sat in the Lincoln box at Ford’s Theater. One of the first things that Symington did in his address to the crowd was to ask a question. “Why in recent months have people decided to try and destroy memories that are so precious?” he asked. He answered his question by saying, “I believe it is because that people do not trust our country and our government. They do not believe that power resides in the will of the people. And I don’t think they believe that our representative form of government is the central core to our freedom or perhaps they believe that they know better. “Every war that we have been in has been about the expansion and protection of that freedom. And the war between the states was no different. When the North came and tried to force the South back into the Union the North tried to accomplish this recovery by eradicating the South’s freedom. Why else would so many non-slave holders fight for the south? The ranks of the Confederate States’ army were swelled by the thousands by piedmont and mountain-living

Scotts Irish who had nothing remotely in common with the English and French descendants from Tidewater and low-country cotton planters. Yet these small holders and tenant farmers comprised the majority of the Confederate States’ Army. My cousin was one of those men. Randolph Harrison McKim lived from 1842 until 1920. If one remembers nothing else about this remarkable man, it should be that no one has better articulated why the South fought. McKim wrote ‘They did not suffer. They did not fight. They
did not die for the privilege of holding fellow men in bondage. No, it was for the sacred right of self-government. It was in defense of their homes and farms and firesides. It was to repel the invader. To resist a war of subjugation,’” Symington said. Symington noted the following, “McKim referred to the slaves as fellow men. A term that is utterly without condescension or affront to the dignity of the humanity of the South’s slaves. McKim like Stonewall See MOSBY, 4

MOSBY, from 2 Jackson and Robert E. Lee amongst Southern Christians believed that the African was a creature of God with all strengths and virtues. And that is what Dylann Roof forgot when he murdered all of those African-American Churchgoers in Charleston North Carolina.” Symington went on to tell the story about his distant cousin. “So Reverend Randolph McKim was a Baltimore boy whose parents were divided over the war. His mother supported Southern independence and his father supported the Union,” he began. Symington told the listeners that his distant cousin couldn’t take leave to go home during the war and that his father passed on before the war ended. He had not been able to reconcile with him and resolve their differences face to face. But on a happier note, he did maintain correspondence with his mother throughout the war. Symington also commented that the reason the world today knows so much about Randolph McKim was because he was a gifted writer. “After the war when he was Rector of Christ Church in Alexandria, he delivered a eulogy on Robert E. Lee which is still in print today, one hundred and forty-seven years later. In 1910 he wrote his story, A Soldier’s Recollections. It’s a good read and it tells about how things really were,” he said. Symington then briefly touched on the war years noting that when South Carolina seceded from the Union, Virginia (The Old Dominion) did not secede immediately, and only did so after the Union asked them to take up arms against the departed South Carolinians. He told the story about how seven undergrads from the University of Virginia secured some bunting and asked a “lady friend” to sew a flag with seven stars and three bars. These young Confederates made their way to the summit of Jefferson’s Classical Rotunda and raised their flag. After this, Private McKim was double timing to Battle of First Manassas (the name used by Confederate forces). Editor’s note: This was also known as the First Battle of Bull Run (the name used by Union forces) He had signed up days earlier as part of the First Maryland Infantry Regiment. The Union army panicked during the battle thinking that the First

Maryland Regiment had outflanked them and thus began the “Great Skedaddle back to Washington D.C.” Symington also talked about the battle of Front Royal and his distant cousin McKim’s involvement in that engagement as well.
He talked about McKim’s winter leave and said McKim was unable to go back home so he spent his leave with relatives in Virginia, then returned in the spring in time for Jackson’s Valley Campaign. This was when the First Maryland
Rebels came up against the First Maryland Yankees right here in Front Royal. The Rebels forced marched from Luray and arrived in Front Royal on May 23, 1862. Toward the end of the war McKim asked for permission to take a leave of absence and become a minister so he could return and give whatever comfort and solace he could to the injured in the war. After the war, Reverend McKim went on with this life and finally passed away in 1920, a modern man who loved to play golf. After his talk, it was time to lay the wreaths at the Mosby’s Seven Rangers Memorial. After the laying of the wreaths, the colors were retired and Benediction

Middle School girls honored for artwork Six young women recognized at 11th annual Kim South Girl Grant luncheon

By Carol Ballard Warren & Frederick County Report Six middle school girls were recognized at the Kim South Girl Grant luncheon on Saturday, September 16, at the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall in Front Royal by members of the Front Royal Women’s Resource Center (FRWRC).
The students displayed the artwork they created in a week-long summer art camp on Impressionism at The Studio-A Place for Learning in downtown Front Royal with their instructor, Kelly Walker, owner of the studio. This is the 11th year of an annual event sponsored by FRWRC member Mary Ellen South who initiated it in 2006 in memory of her daughter Kim.
“She wanted to start the grant program for middle school age girls as recipients because that’s the time when girls take a backseat and don’t speak up in order to fit in. She wanted them to feel empowered and get recognition,” said Joyce Jenkins Wimmer, FRWRC president and Girl Grant chairperson. “She said that it meant so much to her that the girls wanted to learn about art because her daughter (Kim South) had loved it, and she had won first place in a poster contest in Maryland, Wimmer added. The nominations for the girls’ classes came from some of the instructors in the after-school programs at their schools, and the girls were recommended after their teachers saw how much they enjoyed the art projects. “They thought it would be nice if the girls could do something with art, and we had funding for $1,000 from the girl grant program for the camp,” said Wimmer. Kelly Walker, who ran the summer camp that the girls attended, spoke at the luncheon event and described some of the activities they did and projects they completed. “The Studio exists to create opportunities for people to explore fine arts, crafts and other areas of personal de-
velopment. The girls did great learning about color mixing and different painters and styles, plus they had fun while accumulating some beautiful art,” Walker said. One of the girls mentioned that she had watched Bob Ross and his painting programs on TV, and Walker mentioned that she had also learned from his shows and that was how she got
into painting. All the girls thanked the resource center ladies as well as their families. Wimmer gave a bit more information on the program, as well as other efforts the FRWRC members support. The grants aren’t always used for art classes. One time they funded travel with a soccer team, another was for See ART, 6

ART, from 5 scholarships to the Jig and Jive dance school, and one girl was funded for a week at the 4-H camp. “It’s for anything they have an interest in,” she said. A few of the caring adults who have nominated girls noticed a longing for a positive experience or event and had overheard the words, ‘I wish I could….’” said Wimmer. The members always get the girls’ parents approval before the girls are approached. “It’s an honor to be chosen, and not a criticism of their parenting,” she added. Some parents may feel that the girls are chosen out of charity, but that’s not the case. We try to do a wide range of girls from any economic status. It’s not about identifying whether the parents can afford it, but what girls wanted, and not only for those in a lower economic status,” she emphasized. To get involved, girls can have a reference from anyone. Application information is on the FRWRC website at frwrc.org and can also be found at the middle schools. “Last year, one of the recipients was nominated by one of the FRWRC members,” Wimmer said. Applications are reviewed in January and accepted through May 1. Decisions are made at the end of May. The grants offer the middle school girls between the ages of 11 and 13 in Warren County educational and enrichment grants to pursue dreams, interests and collaborative activities, and funds programs such as summer camp, courses in the arts, training courses, tutoring or other activities. The FRWRC Grant Committee works with public school personnel and others to select recipients, who are honored at the September luncheon each year. The total annual grant amount is $1,000 and funds are paid directly to each activity/program. Begun in 1999, the grant programs have provided more than $80,000.00 to more than 120 recipients. Wimmer went on to describe future plans. In addition to the annual grant, they want to have quarterly girl meetings after the school day – “girl gatherings.” “We know girls like to get together, and we could present topics like fashion or career choices. We want them to know they are supported, and we have so many members in FRWRC as role models, who do a variety of things

and are successful in all parts of life,” she continued. They host WomanGatherings, which are described on their website as “informational and inspirational evenings intended to nurture the womanspirit in each of us.” For example, at their recent Sept. 21 meeting, they invited guest speaker Lea Justice from Vine Ripe Farm to speak to the group. She’s a female farmer, which is a fairly non-traditional role for women, and she shared a story about how her motivation for becoming a farmer began when she took a home-grown tomato to Kindergarten to share. Her farm is in its seventh season and she said she looks forward to sharing its bounty with everyone. “The mission of FRWRC is to support and empower women in Warren County through programs, information and education. What better way is there to support women than starting with sponsoring the dreams and ambitions of the youngest women in our community?” asked Wimmer. To help fund the Girl Grant pro-
gram, Front Royal Women’s Resource Center is holding their Annual Yard Sale Fundraiser 2017 on Saturday, October 14, with a rain date for Saturday, October 21.

By Sandip Shah and Joe Black President Trump will soon issue an executive order to lower drug prices. The order likely will encourage federal health agencies to make greater use of "outcomes-based" contracts. That's great news for patients. These contracts link a drug's price to its effectiveness. If a drug cures or treats patients as advertised, insurers pay the

full price. If the drug is less successful than hoped, insurers pay a reduced price or nothing at all. Freed from the fear of paying for expensive yet ineffective treatments, insurers will be more willing to give patients quick access to advanced drugs while getting assurance that the drugs work. This will improve Americans' health and drive down long-term healthcare spending. Value-based contracts have become more popular in recent years. A quarter of health plans now have at least one value-based contract -- and 30 percent more are currently negotiating one. In the past, insurers hesitated to spend money on advanced drugs. To minimize costs, many insurers re-

quired patients to try older, cheaper drugs first. Only if those drugs failed would insurers cover the cost of more advanced medications. Such "step therapy" delays proper treatment for patients. Value-based contracts negate the need for step therapy. If it turns out drugs aren't as effective as the pharmaceutical companies claim, insurers simply pay the drug companies less. And if the drugs works, patients get better faster, saving healthcare dollars in the long-run. Value-based contracts also can nudge insurers to cover treatments that they once flat-out denied. Consider the high-cholesterol drug Repatha. The drug cuts the risk of heart attack by 15 to 20 percent, but it costs a hefty sum. Many insurers didn't want to let patients switch from older, cheaper statins to the more effective Repatha. Unfortunately, this refusal to cover the drug led to 100,000 preventable heart attacks and strokes in 2016. The drug's manufacturer, Amgen, recently agreed to pay insurers a full refund if eligible patients have a heart attack or stroke while taking Repatha. Health insurer Harvard Pilgrim, which covers 2.7 million people, took the deal. The agreement will no doubt save lives and keep people healthier, lowering long-term spending. Value-based contracts also help make medicines more effective. Drugs undergo extensive clinical trials before they're put on the market. But clinical trials are an imperfect tool to measure a drug's effectiveness. In the real world, patients might pop a pill during dinner -- even though it's supposed to be taken on an empty stomach. Or they might miss a dose. These differences mean that the drug may perform differently in a real-
world setting as compared to a clinical-trial setting. For example, the cancer drug sorafenib prolonged patients' lives by an average of three months during clinical trials. In the real world, though, the drug did not boost life expectancy. Pharmaceutical companies already track real world data on drug effectiveness. But value-based contracts can guide them to improve physician prescribing directions and patient dosage information, in order to maximize medicines' effectiveness and get the best value for the money spent on the medicine. Healthcare innovation doesn't always come in the form of a pill. Sometimes, it can be as simple as a new contracting model that expands patients' access to cutting-edge medicines. Pharmaceutical companies are willing to bet on the effectiveness of their drugs. Will insurance companies rise to this challenge?

Sheriff asks for training and competitive pay increases for his department His request stems from having lost 15 officers over the last two and half years
Warren County Sheriff Daniel McEathron presents Supervisors with a proposal for a career development program for his department.
By Timothy Ratigan Warren/Frederick County Report A Warren County Board of Supervisors work session was held immediately after their regularly scheduled meeting on the morning of October 3 at the request of Warren County Sheriff Daniel McEathron. McEathron took the time allotted to present the board with his request for a career development program and a pay increase program to accompany it. Not surprisingly, this presentation was met with mixed reactions. One of the primary concerns was the estimated cost for implementing such a program, which is estimated to be in the neighborhood of about $70,000 for the rest of the current fiscal budget year. The board would also be looking at an increase in the annual budget of $140,000 to $170,000 after the initial implementation of the proposed program. McEathron explained the need for such a program, explaining, “Over the last two, two and half years we have lost a total of 15 people. Three of them went to the town and that is fine with

better. That is just the way it is. And they have a career development program and the other jurisdictions also have a career development program or a hybrid of some type. I’ll make no bones about it. I require my officers or deputies to maintain the level of certification … beyond just the basic certification,” he said. McEathron also let the board know what it cost to get a deputy certified in the most basic way. That alone runs up to the tune of about $4,500 per deputy. “Not only are they required for basic certification, they are also required to be certified on everything they

I believe in paying them for maintaining that certificate they have hanging on the wall. If you are certified to do this and that and to instruct, I expect you to do those things and to instruct. If you are not doing those things you’re trained for, then there no reason for us to continue to pay that extra amount of money for that. So, what you see in the breakdown are the different things that they are going to have to do to maintain whatever monetary value it is to the deputies and officers. Losing

that many people over that period of time, and by the way, that is not counting the retirements. “Just to give you an idea, we are working on my 13th year of being your sheriff and I am working on my fifth major. I’ve had two majors go off and become Chief of Police of the Town of Front Royal. I’ve had two of them retire from long careers. We have a lot of experience that we have lost to other jurisdictions or retirement which puts us where we are today. On the patrol level of about 22 deputies, our average years of experience is four years responding to calls. Although it is good for people to go on and move onto other jurisdictions … the county has done a great job – at the bottom end. The starting salary is great. We are pretty competitive in that area.

programs and these jurisdictions pay for it. It’s not like they wanted to leave, it is that they don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. “Again, by keeping us at the bottom like this I can’t recruit someone from Winchester or Frederick County and pay them what they deserve to be paid based on the certifications they hold. We have very good deputies working the streets but we only have about four years of experience out there,” he continued. McEathron added that there is no department in the county that requires the type of certification and training that his department requires, including fire and rescue. Comments from the board ranged from supportive to cautious due to the cost and speculation about where to find the funds to support a program like the one he requested. Happy Creek Supervisor Tony Carter was sympathetic and expressed indignation at the county’s lower law enforcement and fire and rescue pay compared to the higher pay that the surrounding jurisdictions offered. “It is unfortunate we can’t compete with them. I appreciate you coming in and having us take a look at this. I understand. Fire and rescue and our schools – Mr. Drescher has lost teachers due to this very same problem. Us being a training ground, I don’t know, we will give this some consideration. My concern is that if we do it this year then we will have to find a way to draw out $160,000 or $170,000 for next year,” he said. McEathron replied to Carter’s statement, “Absolutely, but at some point this board is going to have to bite the bullet, and at some point this board is going to have to support their law enforcement. Plain and simple, this board will have to bite the bullet. At some point you have to say ‘we are going to pay for the high quality of services provided or we are just going to make do and continue to allow these people to leave and go somewhere else.’ I understand what you are saying but that is why this decision has come before the Board of Supervisors. You all handle the purse strings when it comes to this. And I respect that.” North River Supervisor Daniel Murray added his opinion by saying, “If you have a transmission go bad in your car and you only have a budgeted amount to live on you’ve got to give something up to get the car fixed.
Happy Creek Supervisor Tony Carter, center, shares his concerns over funding a career development program proposed by the Sheriff, but understands the need.
So, to fix problems like this takes hard decisions. If that means cutting other agencies and that works out, then so be it. Because money doesn’t grow on trees and there is a feeling with many people that you can reach into the tree and keep coming to the County. We can’t print currency. We are not the Treasury. So, we have to take a real hard look this year. I said I am not supporting any increases.” Chairwoman Linda Glavis observed, “I don’t know, in this crazy world law enforcement is a priority. McEathron reaffirmed that now would be the ideal time to commit to a new and competitive career development program and long term strategy due to recent losses and retirements that have reduced and continue to reduce the average life time experience of his deputies to a maximum average
of 4 years out on the streets. He reminded them that he had just recently lost his second major to become chief of the Front Royal Police Department. At the end of the presentation, McEathron thanked the board for hearing him and urged them to consider passing his proposal thus leaving the future of Warren County law enforcement in the hands of the Warren County Board of Supervisors. – tim@areaguides.com

Supervisors honor Joe Swiger and County’s Finance Department
The Warren County Board of Supervisors honors Joseph E. Swiger for his 12 years of service on the Front Royal Golf Club advisory committee.
By Timothy Ratigan Warren/Frederick County Report The Warren County Board of Supervisors first meeting this month was the morning of October 3rd at the County’s government center with a very light schedule ahead of them. The board took the time to recognize Joseph E. Swiger for his years of dedicated service to the county on the Front Royal Golf Club committee. County Administrator Doug Stanley read into the record a resolution commending Swiger.
He said that Joe has been a thoughtful contributor and helped further efforts to reduce cost and increase revenue in the operations of the Front Royal Golf Club since 2005. “Joe Swiger was known for his extensive knowledge of the history of the golf club and the Shenandoah River and was an engaged member who took pride in the appearance of the golf club. It is fitting and appropriate to recognize Joe for his service to his community. Now therefore be it resolved that the Warren County Board of Supervisors holds Joseph E. Swiger

in high esteem as a person who has repeatedly demonstrated his commitment to the County of Warren. The Warren County Board of Supervisors extends to Joseph E. Swiger its deep appreciation and its sincere gratitude for his dedicated service to the Front Royal Golf Club Advisory Committee.” he added. Next on the agenda was a presentation from the Virginia Government of Finance Offices Association of a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting to the supervisors for Fiscal year 2016. On hand to receive the certificate was (retired) Finance Director Carolyn Stimmel and current Finance Director Andre Fletcher. Janet Romanchyk from the Virginia Government of Financial Offices Association presented the certificate. Then the board heard several reports from various organizations: Assistant Residency Administrator for the Virginia Department of Transportation, Ed Carter. Rappahannock, Shenandoah Regional Jail Superintendent Russ Gilkison. Economic Development Authority Jennifer McDonald. Shenandoah District Supervisor Tom Sayre thanked the EDA for its hard work on the Afton Inn. “It has been a long process and at last it is coming to an end, at least the beginning of the end,” he said, referring to the demolition and redevelopment of the property. Warren County School Superintendent Greg Drescher also reported that enrollment for the school year was 5,271, and that state funds received by the school system are based on the number of students enrolled every year. This number is down by 24 students, which represents about
$120,000. Drescher also reported that comments he has been receiving about the new middle school have been very positive “It is beautiful and is going very well and the staff and students are really enjoying the new school,” he said. He urged the board to come by and

He also reported on the Ressie Jeffries Elementary School renovations. “You have greatly impacted part of the community. Since 1959 this school has never had any major renovations. The new renovations have changed it dramatically. We will be having an open house as soon as the items on the punch list are completed and you, (the board) are invited to that so we can show it off,” he told them. Drescher reminded the board and residents that October is bully prevention month at the schools, and reaffirmed that helping the students to live and work together is an ongoing process throughout the year. A report was also given by Warren County Social Services Director DeAnna Cheatham. She included a demonstration of the department’s new program called Sleep Safe. This showed a box specifically created and designed to keep an infant safe when sleeping.

Planning needed to stay in Period for Cedar Creek Reenactment
Reenactor Jennifer Jones shares a woman’s perspective
Jennifer Jones set up a camp kitchen to get ready for the reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Creek.
Jennifer Jones, with her son Alan Michael and nephew Joseph, pose for the not-so-Period camera at the reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Creek.
By Sue Golden Warren/Frederick County Report Everyone likes to see the reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Creek. There are period camps, people in period clothes, horses, cannons, fires at night and all kinds of excitement during the reenactment itself. Wandering through camp is literally like taking a walk back in time to the 1860s. But did you ever wonder what goes in to creating that effect? Local reenactor, Jennifer Jones, has been part of the reenacting community since her son was small. As she says, “my girls Irish danced and my son wanted to be a reenactor, so we jumped right in.” After 10 plus years of reenacting, Jennifer has the process down and makes it look easy. But it isn’t quite so simple. “Getting ready for an event used to be a week-long thing for me. I’d plan the meals two weeks in advance, go to the grocery store a week in advance and start baking the special items the Monday prior to the event. In the summer time, I would cook as much as possible at home just to keep myself from being over the hot fire. In the spring and fall, cooking over the fire isn’t as bad, and, frankly, there are
just some things that taste much better having been fixed completely on an open fire,” she said. Packing everything needed for a reenactment requires several skill sets. First you need to know what you need to live in 1864, since everything must be period for the weekend. Second, once you figure out what you both need and want, it can be a logistical nightmare to pack. With experience, seasoned reenactors know how to do it.
According to Jennifer, “I have a couple of lists and they just depend on what I’m doing. Obviously, the list I had for when I was doing all of the cooking and packing for an entire family is much different than the list I use now that I go alone. Also, keep in mind that packing at the beginning of the season is different than packing at the end of the season, especially when I was cooking, because I would have to make sure my kitchen box was restocked from the previous year.” Jennifer starts with the menu for the weekend, which takes advance planning, shopping and sometimes cooking. Food must be cooked, and served, in period. You must have period plates and serving platters. It would be highly frowned upon to just put a box of Girl Scout cookies out on the table. “I always create a menu for the weekend of all of my meals. Meals include Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast, lunch, dinner, Sunday breakfast, and lunch. I include on that list any serving pieces, baskets, and bowls I may need. I list out everything that needs to go into the cooler: like eggs, butter, heavy cream, and meats. I list out items for snacks, like apples, and

ALWAYS oatmeal cream pies; you can’t go to an event without oatmeal cream pies,” she said emphatically. Once you know what you are going to be cooking for the weekend, you need to plan out how everything will be cooked over the fire. According to Jennifer, cooking items go on a separate list. “I make a list of all of the cooking items I expect to use for the weekend. I make sure to list what items I know I’m going to use. Large cast iron skil-
let, 16-quart Dutch oven, small Dutch oven, pie tins, stew pot, coffee pot, tea pot, dish basin, bucket for fire, shovel for fire. All items like spatulas, knives, spoons etc. are already in my kitchen box so I don’t worry about that. “As if this does not sound daunting enough, you are camping in period. Non-period items are allowed in your closed tent, but not outside of the tent. I used to know a woman that refused to use the port-a-potties all weekend, so she brought a toilet to keep in her tent!” she said. Jennifer does not bring a toilet with her. “My camping list includes my period tent, tent poles, fly, fly poles, stakes, hammer, ropes, lanterns, chairs, cot or air mattress, ground cloth, carpet, table(s), kitchen box, cooking grate, and a fan or heater depending on the weather,” she said. A gentleman’s dress for a reenactment is much easier than a lady’s, because men can wear the same clothes all weekend. Getting dirty for the men is de rigueur, but the ladies must be dressed one way for the day time, and another for an evening ball. The difference between day and evening dress is more than just a dress; it includes jewelry, shoes, hairnets and hairpieces, etc. Not attending the evening ball makes packing easier. And don’t forget the proper attire or “underpin-

nings” that are required for the ladies. Underpinnings include your corset, hoop, and other undergarments. Jennifer makes another list for clothing. “I list all of the clothes I will be wearing for the weekend, including all underpinnings. For me this includes a chemise, two corsets, two sets of pantalettes, three petticoats, a hoop, a cape when it was cold, two dresses, two aprons, a sun bonnet and a spoon bonnet, three pairs of socks, shoes, gloves. I list each underpinning and check them off as I pack. Extra socks, personal toiletries, medications, hat(s), fan(s), shoes, sleeping bag, blankets, pillow, chap stick, hair items, mirror, modern clothes for getting there and going home, extra cash,
travel telephone charger, camera, sun screen, wash cloth and hand towel,” she said. There is another list needed for anything else you want to do while you are in camp. Generally, the ladies watch the reenactment, but there are many more hours to the weekend that will be spent in camp. Jennifer’s final list includes “anything else that does not really fall into a category.” These include: quilt and quilt frame; knitting basket; hand sewing projects; book; instrument; cards; checkers and tea sets. These lists are for Jennifer going to a reenactment. Each of her children also has their own list. Children must be 14 years of age to take the field. If your kids are

under 14 years old, you will need a list of things to keep them busy in camp! Reenacting gives new meaning to having an “empty nest.” Jennifer continued, “The above list is the one I used for the better part of 10 years and would also include everything I would need to make sure that my son, Alan Michael, packed too. I would add things like musket, musket cleaning kit, and black powder, as he got older. These days my list is a little shorter because I only have to worry about myself. The most I cook for is two or three people, so I get away with only my small Dutch oven and my small coffee pot. I may take an extra Dutch oven if I feel like baking, but usually I’ll do that at home. My kitchen box isn’t as
big as it used to be and I don’t stock as much stuff in it either. My sewing basket stays packed so I just have to grab it and go. I only take two chairs now and that is just so I’ll have a place for someone to sit should they want to quilt with me. I may take two dresses if the mood hits me, but I have found that one is sufficient for the weekend.” Once all packed and organized, you get to travel to Cedar Creek, find your site and set up your little bit of 1860’s heaven. Everything you packed, you need to set up for the weekend. Start with your tent, and go from there. Cooking area, bedding, dressing area and anything else you brought with you, like Jennifer’s quilting frame. You get to spend less than three full days enjoying yourself before – you

Airstream Rally comes to Front Royal “Fun, Fellowship and Adventure” is the slogan for participants of the traveling group
Owners of Airstream Trailers converged at the Bing Crosby Stadium carnival site in Front Royal to attend a four-day weekend rally in September, connecting with friends and exploring the area. - Photo courtesy of Doug Doberer
By Carol Ballard Warren/Frederick County Report Wandering bands of silver-riding travelers roam all over our country and the world, meeting up and then dispersing, looking to discover new places and to connect with like-minded folks in a loose community. They are the Airstream people. At the recent Airstream rally in Front Royal, 22 units of the Wally Byram Caravan Club International (WBCCI) were represented, and according to local Airstream owner Doug Doberer, president of the “Virginia Unit” of the organization, they were glad they attended. Doberer volunteered some background information about the rally. “This year, the Virginia Unit was responsible for hosting this event. Since I am our unit president, I proposed we bring this event to my chosen slice of heaven: Front Royal. It has been my desire to have a rally here, in town, for many years and this event presented the perfect opportunity,” he said. The event also benefited the town. The group’s $35/day parking fees generated more than $2,000 income for the Front Royal Volunteer Fire and Rescue department as well as close to $2,000 spent at their dinner meeting and officers’ ceremony at Elements Restaurant on Main Street. They conducted Sunday morning services in the camp, which after passing the collection plate, gave them $160 to donate to House of Hope, the local men’s shelter. The Airstream community is composed of mainly retired/active seniors who want to see some of the United States and interact socially with likeminded folks and be helpful along the way.
“We like to give financial help to communities. We all know this and try to get out and do things like this. We’re all encouraged to get out and shop. Men and women,” he said. The 19 trailers were parked at the Bing Crosby Stadium carnival area for a long weekend from September 21 to the 24th. Some members preferred to camp at Andy Guest State Park and others at Skyline Ranch Resort. But they all met to enjoy amenities and recreation around the town and Warren County. In a letter, Doberer welcomed the others in the Front Royal Rally group. “Folks are welcome to stop by, chat
for a while, take pictures, relax and gain some insight to the benefits we enjoy as Airstream RV owners and as WBCCI members. Our unit Historian will be on hand to shed insight other members may not be able to,” he wrote. Over the four days, they found a lot to do. “We went to the Brew and Blues Festival, and attended the (Mosby Memorial) event at Prospect Hill Cemetery. Several members toured Front Royal, visiting museums and Civil War sites,” he said. He was very pleased with the response of Front Royal to the visit, and

through the coming year. After their meeting at Elements Restaurant, Doberer wrote to their manager, expressing the group’s satisfaction with their treatment. “I’d like to express again the degree to which our folks enjoyed their very wonderfully prepared and presented, delicious meal. Each of our group was enthusiastically greeted with warmth and sincerity. They could not have expected a better reception had I had them into my own home. Additionally, the atmosphere of the Element Restaurant itself is welcoming and the entire staff gracious. Thank you, Lauren and the rest your staff

very much for helping to make their visit to Front Royal more memorable by their dining experience.” Doberer described how he and his wife Debby enjoy their experiences with the group at other times of the
year and when touring with them. Typically, they go with others in caravans to designated special events with maybe 10-12 trailers per caravan, have lunch stops, with parking researched ahead of time. When
traveling, they make sure not to hold traffic up by keeping each other in sight, but strung out over a few miles. He said many go to Alaska to see the polar bears and other unusual sights, and there’s a caravan that originates in
New Jersey, with the destination being Florida. They travel all down the east coast, stopping along the way to enjoy local sights, and the trip takes 30 days. Others have a theme, going to Civil War or musical sites, or anywhere a common interest might take them. Doberer thanked the Front Royal community. “We really do appreciate the Town, the fire department, and Felicia Hart, who worked closely with us to get the permits. We appreciate the community support for us coming to town. All of us enjoyed ourselves. And, as frequently happens, we bring people to town and they get a taste for the area and many come back. I think it was a good thing to do,” he concluded. Here’s a little history of the organization from their website. Wallace Merle “Wally” Byam founded the first Airstream plant more than 80 years ago, in Los Angeles, California. The history of Airstream began with him and his dream to build the perfect travel trailer. It would provide first class living conditions anywhere in the world, be light enough to be towed by a standard automobile, and “move like a stream of air.” Byam was a born wanderer. As a boy in Baker City, Oregon, he traveled with his grandfather’s mule team; later, as a shepherd, he lived in a two-wheeled, covered donkey cart. After graduating with the class of 1916 from Jefferson High School in Portland, Oregon, Byam served in the Merchant Marine. Stanford University in California was next, where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in history in 1921. As a businessman, Byam launched his own advertising agency, and became the publisher of several magazines. One of his do-ityourself periodicals, Popular Mechanics, included an article describing plans for construction of a travel trailer. After readers complained about the plans, Byam tried them himself and agreed they were flawed. He built his own model—the “Torpedo”—and published an article about the improved trailer which could be constructed from plywood for less than $100. Byam sold the plans for five dollars
and continued building better versions—adding chemical toilets, ice boxes, gasoline stoves, and hand water pumps. He raised the ceiling to allow campers to stand inside, striving for a trailer, in Byam’s words, that would be “always home wherever your wheels may stop.” In 1931 Byam’s RV company was born; the Airstream name was adopted three years later. Airstream trailers have survived millions of miles over some of the roughest roads in the world, realizing Byam’s dream as stated in his wellknown creed. “In the heart of these words is an entire life’s dream. To those of you who find in the promise of these words your promise. I bequeath this creed. . . my dream belongs to you. “To place the great wide world at your doorstep for you who yearn to travel with all the comforts of home. To provide a more satisfying, meaningful way of travel that offers complete travel independence, wherever and whenever you choose. To keep alive and make real an enduring promise of high adventure and faraway lands, of rediscovering old places and new interests. To open a whole world of new experiences, a new dimension in enjoyment where travel, adventure and good fellowship are your constant companions. “To encourage clubs and rallies that provide an endless source of friendships, travel fun, and personal expression. To lead caravans wherever the four winds blow, over twinkling boulevards, across trackless deserts, to the traveled and untraveled corners of the earth. To play some part in promoting international goodwill and understanding among the peoples of the world through person-to-person contact. To refine and perfect our product by continuous travel-testing over the highways and byways of the world. To strive endlessly to stir the venturesome spirit that moves you to follow a rainbow to its end, and thus make your travel dreams come true,” he wrote. For more information visit www. wbcci.org

New Valley workforce center joins network of 62 centers across the Commonwealth Governor Terry McAuliffe celebrated the opening of a new One Stop Career Center in Winchester Oct. 6 during a ceremonial ribbon cutting. The new Valley Workforce Center will focus exclusively on providing career services, job search support, basic adult education, workforce training, and job placement services to citizens in the Winchester region, and joins a network of 62 One Stop Career Centers across the Commonwealth. The Center is part of a campus of 25 community service providers, the first of its kind in Virginia. “For underemployed or unemSee BRIEFS, 18

BRIEFS, from 17 ployed Virginians, workforce centers are the front door to the job and life skills, career planning and training needed to fill good jobs that are open in the region,” said Governor McAuliffe, speaking at the event. “One Stop Centers, like this one in Winchester, are a community effort, and I am pleased to be here today to celebrate this innovative new ‘campus’ approach to workforce development. This center is well positioned to serve the needs of employers and job seekers in Winchester and the northern Shenandoah Valley for years to come.” “The northern Shenandoah Valley’s economic success is due, in part, to its exceptional workforce,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Todd Haymore. “For businesses and individuals to continue to enjoy this success, we have to expand that talent pipeline and provide opportunities for Virginians to get the support and skills they need to fill the jobs in the community. Without a doubt, workforce development is key to further corporate investment and job creation, and I congratulate everyone involved in the establishment of our newest workforce development asset.” Governor McAuliffe has made improving the workforce service delivery system in Virginia a priority of his administration. Multiple state agencies have collaborated to improve service access for job seekers and employers. The Virginia Employment Commission, a significant leader in this endeavor, has realized more than $1 million in cost savings by executing a collocation strategy that makes the agency an anchor tenant in One Stop Careers Centers across the Commonwealth. Critical partners in the effort to establish the new One Stop Career Center in Winchester include: the Shenandoah Valley Workforce Development Board, the Virginia Employment Commission, One Health, Inc., and Lord Fairfax Community College. “The inclusion of multiple partners in the workforce system significantly increases the availability of services to our shared customers and allows greater collaboration among all agencies’ staff to provide a cohesive approach to our client’s needs,” said Charles Peacock, Center Manager, Winchester One Stop Career Center. “In addition, housing Business Services in the same location provides a better pipeline for the local labor force to connect with employers. This center truly embodies the goal and intent of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act “The SVWDB is excited to have greater capacity for expanding services and support for workers and businesses of the Northern Shenandoah Valley,” said Sharon Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, Shenandoah Valley Workforce Development Board, Inc. “The new and expanded Workforce Center emphasizes additional partnerships with key stakeholders to strengthen our workforce. The Center will meet a range of workforce needs including those of unemployed workers, individuals seeking preparation
for advanced positions, and employers who want qualified workers to maintain and expand their businesses.” “The Board and staff of Our Health, Inc. are thrilled to have the services provided by the Winchester Valley Workforce Center on our campus,” said Sharen Gromling, Director, Our Health, Inc. “With this addition, we now have 25 nonprofit and public services providers located on the campus providing wrap-around services and case management to our most vulnerable population. The work done at the Center is life-changing, as they help their clients train for and find employment that will provide a sustainable income for themselves and their families.” The new center is located at 419 N Cameron Street, Winchester, Virginia 22601. Find more information about the new One Stop Career Center in Winchester at http://www.valleyworkforce.com/locations/winchesterworkforce-center/ The Shenandoah Valley Workforce Development Board (SVWDB) is an incorporated, non-profit organization serving 16 localities in Northwestern Virginia.

old gelding pacer named B Blissful. The Jimmy Viars trainee was 2016 CoHorse of the Meet but had yet to reach the winners circle during the ‘17 fall season in Woodstock. Perry guided the pacer to an early lead Sunday in the second race --- a $4500 conditioned pace --- and held it comfortably until the third marker when A Million Thanks came outside and met the leader stride for stride. B Blissful held off the challenge, regained control and crossed a length ahead of fast closing Gene Eugene in 1:57 1/5. Perry entered the day with 998 wins and after the day’s first three races, had notched numbers 999, 1,000 and 1,001.

As a member of the Speaker’s working group on immigration, we will take time to review the Administration’s priorities and con-
sider their implications for our immigration system and the rule of law. One thing is clear, however: we cannot fix the DACA problem without fixing all of the issues that led to the underlying problem of illegal immigration in the first place.” Medicare Part D Events Shenandoah University faculty, staff and students take every opportunity they can to serve the community in a number of ways. In practice, Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy professors have continually observed that many older patients find the process of signing up for Medicare Part D confusing.

Two events will be held this year – one in Winchester and one in Northern Virginia. The Winchester event will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 1, at the university’s Health Professions Building (1775 North Sector Court, Winchester, Virginia), while the event in Northern Virginia is slated for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 15, at the university’s location at the Inova Center For Personalized Health (3225 Gallows Road, Fairfax, Virginia). During the events, volunteers help senior citizens enroll in a Medicare Part D plan that best suits their needs. In addition, students and pharmacists will be available to answer questions about deductibles, premiums, coverage gaps and much more. Those who plan to attend should bring their Medicare cards and a current medica-

BRIEFS, from 19 hicle (EV) Initiative, which is aimed at driving infrastructure investments that will support an overall electric vehicle adoption rate of 15 percent by 2027, equal to approximately 1 million vehicles statewide. Funding, in the amount of $14 million, comes from Virginia’s portion of the Volkswagen settlement. “Today’s announcement offers an
exciting opportunity for the private sector to partner with the Commonwealth to drive greater deployment of electric vehicles in Virginia and I am pleased that we will be able to utilize funds from the Volkswagen settlement to support this project,” said Governor McAuliffe. “By providing the charging network citizens need to move quickly and at long distances throughout Virginia, we will make certain that electric vehicle travel in the Commonwealth is

seamless. This infrastructure will also help us to reduce our collective carbon footprint and drive innovation in the new Virginia economy.” As part of the Volkswagen settlement, which resulted from the use of emissions testing defeat devises in Volkswagen vehicles, Volkswagen is required to establish a nearly $3 billion environmental mitigation trust. Virginia is expected to receive $93.6 million from this trust, and the Commonwealth may spend a maximum of
15 percent on electric vehicle infrastructure. “Expanding Virginia’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure will contribute to Virginia’s economic diversification by encouraging innovation in electric vehicle technology, making electric vehicle travel easier, and facilitating public-private partnerships throughout the Commonwealth,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Todd Haymore. “This targeted and rapid deployment of EV charging sta-
tions is designed to jump-start adoption and generate more private investment in EV technology in Virginia.” In order to develop a robust network of electric vehicle charging stations along the most-traveled portions of the state, Virginia will designate the full 15 percent, representing approximately $14 million dollars, for electric vehicle infrastructure. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, the lead agency for the Commonwealth, has issued a request for proposals for allocation of the full $14 million to establish an interconnected and statewide public electric vehicle charging network. Responses to the RFP are due by 2:00pm on Monday November 6, 2017. “The Department of Environmental Quality, as lead agency on the Volkswagen settlement, is driving an innovative program to deploy electric vehicle infrastructure,” said Molly Ward, Secretary of Natural Resources. “The transportation sector is the largest contributor to nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide emissions, so this program will also help Virginia achieve our air quality and climate change goals.” Today, Virginia’s Direct Current (DC) fast charging network for electric vehicles consists of 100 DC fast charging stations, underscoring a significant gap in infrastructure in the state.

Goodlatte Statement on California’s Sanctuary State Law Congressman Bob Goodlatte (RVa.), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement on the enactment of California’s sanctuary state bill (SB 54): “California’s new law shielding criminals from federal immigration enforcement efforts is one of the most reckless laws enacted in recent memory. It’s unconscionable that Governor Brown would sign such an irresponsible bill into law in light of preventable murders that have occurred recently in California due to sanctuary policies. “Laws like California’s show why the reforms contained in the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act and Davis-Oliver Act are needed now more than ever to protect Americans from harm. Both of these bills contain important tools for law enforcement to combat dangerous sanctuary policies that permit criminals to go free and would deter irresponsible laws like Califor-

BRIEFS, from 21 nounce that Warren County, Virginia has received the GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the County’s FY 2015-2016 comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR). The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. The CAFR has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the CAFR. The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving nearly 19,000 appointed and elected local, state, and provincial-level government finance professionals and other finance practitioners. It provides top quality publications, training programs, services, and products designed to enhance the skills and performances of those responsible for government finance policy and management. Board Chair Linda Glavis congratulated the work of the entire Warren County Finance Department for, “their continued hard work and efforts to prepare the audit document. It’s through the diligence of these employees that Warren County has again been honored for the third consecutive year to receive this award.” She added that the document provides transparency for the County’s citizens to see that their tax money is being spent in accordance with adopted financial policies, the Board’s adopted priorities, and our Warren County Comprehensive Plan. According to County Administrator Doug Stanley, “GFOA recognizes the efforts put forth by Finance Director Andre Fletcher, Finance Consultant Carolyn Stimmel, and Administrative Assistant Connie Oden. Warren County is one of only 25 of the 95 counties in the State to be recognized with both the Audit and Budget awards. I am pleased to see the Department’s continued efforts rewarded with this recognition from GFOA.” Finance Director Andre Fletcher added, “It is an honor to again be recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association with the CAFR Award for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. I want to thank Mr. Doug Stanley and the Board of Supervisors for their continued support to the Finance Department. I would also like to give a special thanks to Carolyn Stimmel, Financial Consultant. Without her continuous hard work and knowledge in finance, none of this would be possible. This award was first achieved in fiscal year 2013-2014 under the supervision of Mrs. Stimmel. It is an honor to work with such a great staff and under outstanding leadership the County has provided.” The award was presented by Loudoun County Acting Director of Finance and Procurement of Loudoun

would not be complete without an annual Arbor Day ceremony. Citizens join together to celebrate the benefits of community trees and the work accomplished to plant and maintain them. By passing and reciting an official Arbor Day proclamation, public officials demonstrate their support for the community tree program and complete the requirements for becoming a Tree City USA! The benefits of Arbor Day go far beyond the shade and beauty of new trees for the next generation. Arbor Day is a golden opportunity for publicity and to educate homeowners about proper tree care. Utility companies can join in to promote planting small trees beneath power lines or being careful when digging. Fire prevention messaging can also be worked into the event, as can conservation education about soil erosion or the need to protect wildlife habitat. Great question Kim, thanks for asking! Your friend in the trees,

10:00am, where Unbroken: a World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand will be discussed. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane’s bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.
Facebook to Invest $1 Billion in Virginia Major data center project in Henrico County will create thousands of construction jobs, more than 100 full-time operational jobs Governor Terry McAuliffe has announced that Facebook will bring more than $1 billion of new investment to the Commonwealth. Facebook is directly investing $750 million to establish a 970,000-square-foot data center in the White Oak Technology Park in Henrico County. In addition, due to a new renewable energy tariff designed by Dominion Energy Virginia and Facebook, hundreds of millions of additional dollars will be invested in the construction of multiple solar facilities in the Commonwealth to service Facebook’s Henrico Data Center with 100 percent renewable energy. The project will bring thousands of construction jobs to the region and more than 100 full-time operational jobs. Governor McAuliffe met with
Engle’s Angle: “A four letter word that starts with S. But not that one.” By Kevin S. Engle I was 15 minutes early for lunch. A friend was meeting me at a local restaurant. We hadn’t seen each other in a few years, not since he left to work elsewhere. To kill time, and get some exercise, I walked around the outdoor shopping plaza. As I made my way back toward the restaurant, a taxi pulled up and a 20 something female got out. And spit on the sidewalk. Nice. If my wife had done that on our first date, I’m not so sure there would’ve been a second one. When he was alive, my dad liked to chew tobacco. And when you chew tobacco, you spit tobacco juice, which he’d do on our driveway. “C’mon Dad,” I’d say. “Can’t you do that in the grass?” Is it obvious I’m not a big fan of spitting? Ever watch a Major League Baseball game? That’s all these guys do. I played a lot of ball when I was a kid, but I didn’t spit all that much. Maybe that’s why I didn’t make it to the big leagues. That, and not being good enough. For my birthday, in June, my wife got me one of those DNA tests. I’d been telling her for several years I wanted to try it. By September, the box was still sitting on my dresser, unopened. “What’s he waiting for?” my brother-in-law asked. He’d done the same test recently. “I don’t know,” my wife told him. A week or so later, a mere three and a half months after she gave it to me, I finally opened it. After creating an online account, I now had to obtain my DNA sample. And do you know how that’s done? Yup. Spitting! Per the instructions, I wasn’t allowed to eat, drink, smoke or chew gum for 30 minutes before collecting my saliva sample. I don’t smoke so that wasn’t an issue. Chew gum? Occasionally, but not first thing in the morning when I planned on doing it. Eat? I always have breakfast, but typically not until 8:00 or so when my wife gets up. Drinking was the challenge. I down a glass or two of water while working in my office before breakfast. How am I supposed to spit when my mouth is dry? And the test required ¼ teaspoon of saliva. That doesn’t sound like much, but when you’re dry, and you’re not an experienced spitter, it is. Oh yeah, the bubbles don’t count. The next few minutes were rather unpleasant as I stood over the bathroom sink, spitting into the little collection tube. Yes, I was disgusted and you may be too by now. Once I’d finally done what I had to, I packaged my saliva sample and sent it off. I’ll have my results in 6-8 weeks. I should be over the trauma by then. In the meantime, I’ll be watching baseball. It’s time for the Playoffs and World Series. Highly paid male athletes who can spit with the best of them. You’ll never see Mr. Engle participating in a watermelon seed spitting contest. But you can meet him at the Apple House in Linden, VA on Sunday October 15 from noon-3PM. He’ll be eating apple butter donuts and signing copies of his book. And he promises not to spit.

company officials about the project on multiple occasions, most recently during his San Francisco Marketing Mission earlier this week. “I am proud to welcome Facebook to Henrico County, and we look forward to a strong partnership,” said Governor McAuliffe, speaking at the event. “When an industry giant like Facebook selects Virginia for a major operation, it’s proof that our efforts to build an open and welcoming economy that works for everyone are paying off. For many years, Virginia has served as a key hub for global internet traffic, emerging as one of the most active data center markets in the world. Working with companies like Facebook and many others, we are advancing Virginia’s position as a global leader in the technology economy and a world-class home to innovative companies of every size.” Founded in 2004, Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to
build community and bring the world closer together. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, discover what’s going on in the world, and share and express what matters to them. “Facebook’s decision to locate its newest data center operation in Henrico County is a tremendous economic win for the Commonwealth,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Todd Haymore. “Virginia’s information technology sector is booming, with nearly $12 billion in capital investment over the past decade and more than 650 data processing, hosting, and related establishments currently employing over 13,500 Virginians. Facebook, with more than 2 billion monthly users, is a powerful addition to the sector, and I commend the entire team who helped bring this company to the Commonwealth.” The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Hen-

rico County, the Henrico County Economic Development Authority, and the General Assembly’s Major Employment and Investment (MEI) Project Approval Commission to secure the project for Virginia. The project was also made possible through a new renewable energy tariff called Schedule RF, designed by Dominion Energy Virginia and Facebook. The tariff will allow large energy users, such as Facebook, to meet their needs through the addition of renewable energy sources. This new product offering will ultimately lead to new business opportunities throughout the Commonwealth. As a secondary economic benefit, the renewable energy projects served under this tariff must be built in Virginia. A 2017 U.S. Chamber of Commerce data center study estimates that construction of a data center of this magnitude will employ up to 1,688 local workers, provide up to $77.7 million in wages for those workers, and produce $243.5 million in output along the local economy’s supply chain during construction. The same study estimates an annual injection of $32.5 million into the economy once construction is completed. “Virginia has been a home to the Internet since the tech industry’s earliest days,” said Rachel Peterson, Director of Data Center Strategy at Facebook. “And thanks to Governor McAuliffe’s focus on making the Commonwealth a great place for investment, as well as Henrico County’s robust infrastructure and attractive business climate for data center development, we could not be more thrilled to locate our next data center here. When considering new data center locations, we not only look for clean and renewable energy solutions, but great partnerships within the local community, a strong pool of local talent, excellent access to fiber, and a robust electric grid. Henrico County and the Commonwealth of Virginia has it all.” “We are excited to welcome our newest data center campus to eastern Henrico County,” states Tyrone E. Nelson, Henrico County Board of Supervisors, Varina District. “We are a proactive community that strives to attract new businesses in key sectors and ensure the success of our existing businesses. The company recognized not only the robust and readily available infrastructure in White Oak Technology Park, but also the signifi-
cant bottom line value of Henrico’s recent tax cut targeted specifically for data centers. We are pleased to add another stellar company to our corporate roster and look forward to supporting their future expansion here in Henrico County.” “Access to clean energy is joining reliability and price as important considerations when businesses decide to locate their operations,” said Robert M. Blue, President and CEO of Dominion Energy’s Power Delivery Group. “We are pleased we have been able to develop a solution for Facebook that meets all those requirements and creates a model that can be used by other large businesses as well. It opens the door to attracting more businesses and more jobs for the communities we serve.” “I thank Facebook for its decision to invest $1 billion in the Commonwealth, which represents a major victory in Virginia’s multifaceted efforts to grow and diversify our economy,” said Delegate S. Chris Jones, Chairman, House Appropriations Committee and the General Assembly’s Major Employment & Investment (MEI) Commission. “Economic development is a true team effort in Virginia, and I’m pleased that the MEI Commission was able to partner with and support the Governor’s office, VEDP, Henrico County, and others to help secure this new investment and job creation in Henrico County.” “Virginia has so much to offer tech companies and other growing industries, and I’m extremely proud that Facebook has chosen Henrico to be a part of its expansion,” U.S. Senator Tim Kaine said. “The Henrico Data Center will support thousands of good-paying construction jobs in the region, in addition to those who will eventually be permanently employed at the facility, and I’m confident it will have a positive economic impact in Richmond for years to come.” “I am so pleased to see Facebook invest in our community, bringing more than 100 tech job opportunities for the hardworking people of the Commonwealth,” said Congressman Donald McEachin. “Not only will Facebook bring more tech jobs to the 4th Congressional District, but this project will include solar panels to power this facility with 100 percent renewable energy. Virginia is once again an innovative leader in creating jobs and using

renewable energy to power our community’s bright future.” “I welcome Facebook to Henrico County,” said Virginia Senator Jennifer McClellan. “The region’s economy will benefit immensely from both the construction and long-term operation of their new data center. Facebook’s continued investment in Virginia is proof that the Commonwealth is the best place to do business for technology and internet-related companies.” “I am extremely pleased that Facebook chose to accept our friend request,” said Delegate Lamont Bagby. “Henrico County is rapidly becoming a top destination for the technology industry. Facebook’s decision to invest and locate its newest data center in Henrico County speaks volumes to the support the Commonwealth provides in our efforts to create a New Virginia Economy that is innovative and inclusive.” Area Residents Join Ranks of VSP 30 new Virginia State Police troopers reported to their respective Division Headquarters Oct. 10 to begin the final phase of their training.

BRIEFS, from 25 hind? While we can’t stop the cooler weather, the Lord Fairfax Health District does suggest a way to deal with flu season: get a flu shot! Getting a flu shot every year is the single best way to prevent the flu. “It’s important to get the flu shot every year,” says Lord Fairfax Health District Director Dr. Colin Greene. “Flu is implicated in 10,000 to 40,000 deaths each year in the United States, with the elderly and chronically ill at the highest risk. Flu viruses are constantly changing, so each year’s flu vaccine is designed to keep up with the changing viruses. Also, the body’s immune response from vaccination can decline over time, so an annual flu shot is essential to protect your health and the health of those around you.” Generally, everyone aged 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine. It’s especially important that certain people get vaccinated either because they are at high risk of having serious flurelated complications or because they live with or care for people at high risk for developing flu-related complica-
tions. Babies under 6 months of age are too young to get vaccinated, so it’s vital to immunize those who come in contact with the very young. Flu season typically runs from the fall through the winter or early spring. Influenza activity in Virginia is presently at low levels, so now is a great time to get your flu shot. Immunity to the influenza virus develops about two weeks after vaccination. During the fall and winter holiday seasons influenza can spread at family gatherings, special events and at crowded places – such as shopping malls. Vaccinations are Readily Available Flu shots are available now at most pharmacies and clinics in drug stores, grocery stores and even big box retailers. Health department clinics in the Lord Fairfax Health District (Shenandoah, Page, Warren, Clarke and Frederick counties and Winchester city) are offering walk-in flu shots Mondays and Fridays, (except holidays) from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. You can also use the “Flu Vaccine Finder” at www.flu.gov to find providers in your ZIP code. Prevention
In addition to getting your flu shot, here are some additional steps to prevent flu and other illnesses: Stay home when you are sick. Keep your distance to protect others from getting sick, too. If possible, stay home from work, school and errands. If you’re well, try to avoid contact with those who are sick. Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. Use a tissue and throw it away immediately. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze snugly into the crook of your elbow to prevent germs from spreading through the air. The commonly seen practice of holding a fist in front of a cough does no good, and actually leaves germs on the person’s hand to spread by touching. Clean your hands. Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Soap and water are best, but if they are not available, use an alcoholbased hand rub. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs on surfaces can be picked up and spread when you touch your eyes, nose or mouth. It helps to clean and disinfect surfaces at home, school and work – especially if someone is sick. Support your general health. Reduce stress, get enough sleep, exercise, eat nutritious foods, and drink plenty of fluids. A healthy body is better able to resist illness. Additional information on flu is available from VDH at www.misstheflu. com. The Lord Fairfax Health District serves residents in the city of Winchester and Clarke, Frederick, Page, Shenandoah and Warren counties.

Goodlatte Applauds Signing of Rapid DNA Act into Law Congressman Bob Goodlatte (RVa.), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement upon the signing of the Rapid DNA Act of 2017 (H.R. 510) into law: “I am extremely proud to see the bipartisan Rapid DNA Act, a product of the House Judiciary Committee, signed into law. While once taking days or weeks, DNA testing can now be completed in a matter of hours. However, a decades-old law prevents the use of Rapid DNA technology in many circumstances, which has created a growing backlog. The Rapid DNA Act remedies this problem so that police stations across the United States can use Rapid DNA technology to quickly identify violent suspects and free the innocent. “I also want to thank Crime Subcommittee Chairman Sensenbrenner for his years of leadership on this important issue which is a significant component of the House Judiciary Committee’s ongoing efforts on crimi-
nal justice reform.” Background: The bipartisan Rapid DNA Act, authored by House Judiciary Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), updates current law to allow Rapid DNA analysis machines to be used at local police stations. Rapid DNA technology expedites DNA analysis for suspect identification purposes and allows local law enforcement to accurately identify a suspect in 90 minutes. Unfortunately, current law – which was passed in the mid-90’s before the advent of Rapid DNA technology – is outdated and requires DNA samples to be shipped off to a state lab for analysis and communication with the database known as the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). This results in delays of weeks in getting information that can be obtained in less than two hours with Rapid DNA machines. This unnecessary delay has created huge backlogs that impact all crime investigations using forensics, not just forensics used for identification purposes. – news@warrencountyreport.com

By JoAnn Derson • Here’s a great recipe for DIY dishwasher pods for use in your automatic dishwasher: Mix 2 cups of baking soda, 2 cups of borax, a half cup of salt and 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil. Stir in 1/2 cup vinegar and allow it to settle. Then scoop it into an ice-cube tray and pack tightly. Let it dry overnight, then pop your pods out into an airtight baggie or jar. Label and store in a cool place. Use one per washing cycle. • To get paint splatter off your hands after painting, try this old kitchen trick: Wet hands and then pour sugar or salt into palms. Use it as an abrasive to scrub paint away. • Waxed paper can shine a kitchen or bathroom faucet. Simply use it to buff away the marks. No spray cleaner necessary. • “If you have dirty blinds, keep in mind that spraying them with a liquid is going to turn the dust to muck. Always dry dust first, then use a barely damp microfiber cloth to remove spots. (This is for hard material blinds, not for fabric blinds.)” -- L.G. in Kansas • Sticky irons can ruin fabric. Never fear, though, because cleaning one is a cinch. Heat your iron to its hottest setting, no steam. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of salt onto a piece of newspaper. Iron over it, rubbing vigorously. Finish with a pass or two over a plain paper towel. • Track tools in a workshop by hanging them from a wall.
