Saving at-risk horses is top priority for SVERN Page 2 • Warren/Frederick County Report • Early September, 2018

Network announces invitation to September 22 cash party fundraiser

By Carol Ballard Warren/Frederick County Report Georgia Rossiter, president of the Shenandoah Valley Equine Rescue Network Board, invites everyone to their annual cash party, taking place on September 22 at the Clarion Conference Center (formerly the Lee Jackson), which is located at 711 Millwood Ave. in Winchester. All proceeds help unwanted, abandoned, neglected, abused, and malnourished horses.

“This cash party has helped us in the past to run the rescue operation for pretty much of the following year,” she said. “And it’s always a lot of fun and everyone looks forward to it.”

Attendees must be 18 or older and every ticket is an entry for the $2,000 cash prize at the end of the night.

Doors open at 5:00 p.m., dinner starts at 6:00 p.m., and there will be a cash bar until the end of the party at 10pm.

In addition to the big cash prize there will be 50/50, tip jars, raffles, and a silent auction Tickets are $40 each or $350 for a table of ten and are available for pickup at 117 West Boscawen St. in Win-

chester. Call (540) 535-2001 or message on Facebook to place an order at Shenandoah Valley Equine Rescue Network.

Proceeds from the party will help fund their recent move.

“We don’t have a land donation right now and have relocated to Clarke County. Renting a new space has added the expense of a yearly lease,” she said.

Several horses have been adopted out recently and nine horses are currently at the new site. Three of them – Becky, Ginger and Teak – can be ridden. Becky, an American Saddlebred, almost 17 hands high, has attracted the most interest, but they haven’t found a suitable adoptee yet, Georgia said.

Folks in the network are particular about where the horses go.

The adoption process begins with interested people meeting the horse and staff. Their farm must be inspected and to check whether the horse will have a companion, because, as herd animals, they are most happy with company. After inspection, and consultation with a farrier, applicants can

ride the horse to see if it’s a sure fit.

Also, after purchasing the horse, the owner can’t sell or move it without permission from SVERN. “To my knowledge, we’ve never approved anyone for that,” Georgia said.

According to their webpage, Shenandoah Valley Equine Rescue Network (SVERN) was founded in 2010 by a group of concerned citizens who saw and recognized a need to join together in action.

Georgia explained what happened.

“We got started because of a case of 18 horses that were seized and created a crisis in the horse community because there was no place to put them,” she said.

The horsemen got together, formed a network and found places for them on their individual farms, then created SVERN, which takes in unwanted, abandoned, neglected, abused and malnourished horses, then provides care and rehabilitation for them.

The group continues on with educating the public in equine rescue and what it takes to own horses and care for them.

A rescued horse finds a place at the Shenandoah Valley Equine Rescue Network site, finally getting the care it needs and deserves.

Permanent resident Little Joe, a Miniature Horse, visits one of SVERN’s rescued horses. He and his companion, a Welsh Pony named Marshmallow, curiously follow workers around the barn as they care for the rescued horses.

RESCUE, from 2 Georgia credited the early members of the network, Cheryl Sparrow and Claudia Swisher, as originators and having run the organization for many years.

She also listed some of the operating expenses. For example, the bill last month of $1,400 covered rent, electricity, bedding, feed, and grooming materials.

Other expenses include $140 for a farrier visit every six weeks for each horse, and $220 for a 30-day supply of supplements that most of the neglected/abused/abandoned horses need.

Other than the cash party, SVERN receives donations from people who ask friends and family to donate to

SVERN instead of gifts for their birthday; bake sales set up at the Farmers’ Market; t-shirt sales; and hand-made crocheted and knitted items (by Georgia’s mom!).

Georgia said they’ll also be at the Shenandoah Valley Apple Harvest Festival on September 15-16, at the Frederick County Fairgrounds, and at the Sherando Park Pawfest SPCA event for all rescues on September 29.

Shenandoah Downs offers interactive fun Early September, 2018 • Warren/Frederick County Report • Page 5

Fans have chances to “own” a horse and ride along in an exhibition race

By Carol Ballard Warren/Frederick County Report

Exciting new attractions and events are coming to the Shenandoah Downs Racetrack in Woodstock this fall.

In its third year, this racing season kicks off September 15th and continues every Saturday and Sunday at the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds up to October 14, with 12 days of racing – that’s two more than last year.

And new this season, fans will have a chance to enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences, like owning a horse for a day.

“They can say, ‘I’m going to own a horse at Shenandoah Downs!’” said Communications Director Darrell Wood, of the Virginia Equine Alliance, explaining, “On several occasions during the meet, fans will be drawn at random to ‘own’ a horse competing in a $3,000 race. They will get to meet their horse, trainer and driver, take pictures of the occasion, enjoy complimentary lunch, and most importantly, keep the amount of purse money their horse wins in that race. The winning horse gets 50 percent of the purse --- $1,500 in a $3,000 race,” he said.

Fans can also win a ride in the start-

er’s car during an actual race. Starter cars with wings have horses lining up on the left and right sides behind the wings. Fans can ride in the car facing backwards so they are right in front of horses’ noses at the beginning of the race and can watch them as they thunder down the track at 35 mph.

Finally, fans will be able to enter a drawing to participate in an exhibition race with a ride in a double-seated sulky behind the horse. “The sulky usually has one driver with a horse pulling; now it will have a two-seater for the passenger. This will give people an appreciation for the effort of the horsemen to keep everything on the track,” said Wood.

Details of these events are at www. shenandoahdowns.com and at the Shenandoah Downs Facebook page.

There will be a new post time this year. The first race will be pushed back one hour from the 1 p.m. start time last year to 2 p.m. and will go to 5:00 p.m.

“We felt the later start time would give fans more of a chance to complete their regular weekend errands See DOWNS, 6

DOWNS, from 5 and rituals and as a result, have a better chance to come out and enjoy an afternoon at the races,” said Virginia Equine Alliance Executive Director Jeb Hannum.

Wood added that there’s a big difference between most race tracks and Shenandoah Downs. He said the chance to be right next to the track in the 100-year-old grandstand makes for a personal experience and an exciting afternoon.

“They can feel the rush as horses come to the finish line. They cheer for all of them, even the ones who aren’t winning. Most have casino and slots connected with them—but at Shenandoah Race Track, we have a better vibe,” he said.

Valley generations have come to see racing at the Shenandoah County Fair, and some of the horses that race at the Fair will be at the Downs.

“We hope to keep spreading interest that this is a fun afternoon and a neat place to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon,” said Wood.

In 2018, besides the thrilling harness racing action every Saturday and Sunday for the season, more promotions and special events will complement the races each day. Key events include: • a free commemorative t-shirt giveaway on opening day, September 15, to the first 500 customers, 18 and over.

• a new Breast Cancer Awareness weekend on October 6th and 7th.

• special race day on Columbus Day, Monday October 8th.

• an “After-Work Hops ‘n’ Hooves” event with one-dollar draft beer on Friday October 12th, to begin at 3:00 p.m.

• the Shenandoah Valley Autumnfest celebration on October 13th.

• a Family Weekend.

• a First Responders Day. • wagering for 10 races daily from 2-5 p.m. over a state-of-the-art half mile oval.

On Saturday, September 8th, the Harness Horse Youth Foundation will be presenting a family themed Open House at the track in conjunction with the Virginia Harness Horse Association (VHHA).

Driver Chuck Perry won his 1,000th career race at Shenandoah Downs Racetrack last fall.

Woodstock resident and harness horse owner/trainer/driver Betsy Brown is in the winner’s circle with joyful family and friends.

“This is a way to introduce youth and their families to see how horses are prepared for racing. It’s the first step in an introduction for people to see that you don’t need to bet, and can come with your family,” said Wood.

Tickets are $8 for a single participant or $15 per family and can be purchased at www.scpr.com. The deadline to purchase tickets is September 1st.

The camp runs from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and a picnic lunch is included for all attendees. More details are available at www.vhha.net.

According to race officials, “the season’s highlight will take place on Saturday September 29th, when harness racing’s top money-earning horse ever will appear for a Meet & Greet session

with fans, then compete in a pari-mutuel race.

“Foiled Again is the star attraction: a 14-year-old pacer who has bankrolled over $7.5 million in his spectacular career. He won his 100th race on July 6th this year and he has made 317 starts. He is a two time ‘Horse of the Year’ honoree and he will be retiring at the end of 2018.

“This is such a great and unique opportunity for racing fans in the area,” said Shenandoah Downs Race Secretary, Dee Lineweaver. “Foiled Again is a racing legend. Fans can get their picture taken with him; then see him compete in one of his final races ever.

We expect a full house that afternoon.”

Parking and admission are free, and

Warren County Republicans Hold Town Council Candidates Forum Gillespie, Holloway, Carter secure coveted local GOP endorsement

Gary Gillespie

Alford Carter

Robert Tennett Jr.

Chris Holloway

because of his employment with the Federal Government (although a political party may endorse him without his request). Instead, Morrison watched the forum from the audience.

The moderator of the forum was Warren County’s Clerk of the Circuit Court, Daryl Funk. Funk started the forum by saying, “It is my pleasure to moderate this forum this evening. I am always glad to help out our committee. The questions we are using tonight were not selected by me. The questions were selected by a committee who was appointed by the Chairman Steve Kurtz. The first time I saw the questions selected was when I was handed the questions about 10 minutes ago. So they are almost as new to me as they will be to the candidates.”

Letasha Thompson gave the first opening statement, saying, “This is my first year running. I am a long term resident. I’ve been here my whole life.

A big thing for me is accessibility to

government and getting young people involved in our community. I bring a lot of energy and a lot of drive and a lot of hard work behind it. And I have been to quite a few of our town council meetings and our work sessions.

Those are my major things such accessibility to government, keeping our taxes low and providing things for our younger population and the elderly.”

Next up was Chris Holloway who said, “I would like to thank the Republican Committee for hosting this event here tonight. I have previously served on the Front Royal Town Council before from 2008 through 2012. The latter two years of that term I served as vice mayor of Front Royal. During that time I mostly enjoyed my time on council and since then I have taken the initiative to come back and hopefully seek another term. If I am fortunate enough to be elected some of the things I would like to try to achieve is to control account spending, also to improve the relationship of the

Board of Supervisors. I know that has improved over the years but there is still a lot of work to be done. Number three: let the world know that Front Royal is open for business. We need to bring in more jobs into this community so people are fortunate enough to both work and live here. Number four we need to improve pedestrian safety. Over the last few years there have been several accidents involving pedestrians. I know that they are taking a look at that now but I think that is a must. Also our drug blight here in our community. Over the past few years there has been a massive increase in drug use in this community; especially among our young people.”

Alford Carter was next to make his opening statement, “I operate off of two principles. One is observation, the second is vision. Observation is something that I can look at and see, tough and feel. A vision is a perception of what that observation could be. My observation is that Front Royal

is on the pinnacle of success. We just need to push it to the other side. We are doing things right, we are following the plan. We just need to execute, execute, execute. I’m not going to give you a long spiel, but I will ask for your vote on November 6th. I’ll be looking for you.”

Next up was a very familiar face in town council races, and that was Robert Tennett Jr., who is once again seeking his first term as a councilman. He began, “I am running again for town council. I’ve learned a lot over ten years running for council, especially how this town has changed over the last 10 years. One thing I have done in this town in the last 26 years is to deliver papers. I’ve seen more people out jogging in the mornings. And that is one thing that I have wanted to see. I can remember at one time we didn’t have that. I want to see more people running around town. We need more recreation in this town and also I would like to see more business come to this town. We need to have some kind of way to restructure Main

Letasha Thompson

By Timothy Ratigan Warren/Frederick County Report On August 23, 2018 at the Warren County Community Center, the Warren County Republican Committee held a Candidates’ Forum for the 2018 slate of Front Royal Town Council candidates that have thrown their hats into the political ring for the 2018 town council election to be held on November 6, 2018. The list of candidates included incumbent councilmen Christopher Morrison and Gary Gillespie (both of whom were appointed to the council and will making their first true run for their seats against four other candidates). The remaining four candidates were Alford (A.D.) Carter, Robert Tennett Jr., Letasha Thompson, and Chris Holloway (who has held a council seat before). Councilman Christopher Morrison did not participate in the forum, due to the Hatch Act, which states that he cannot seek out a political endorsement

TOWN, from 7

Street. Main Street would be a whole lot better if we increase the parking places and we will be doing a lot better.”

And the last councilmember to give his opening remarks was Councilman Gary Gillespie, who said, “I am seeking your endorsement as a candidate because I want to keep fighting for you. I am a conservative. The town government needs to stop talking about when we are going to raise taxes and start talking about what we can do to cut them. I share in my parents’ financial philosophy in that if you don’t have it, do not spend it, plain and simple. My other primary goal is to cut government bureaucracy to help create a business friendly town.

The citizens of Front Royal need to be able to make a decent living and we need to bring better paying jobs into our community and housing for our young professionals. I think President Trump is right. We need to take care of our infrastructure. We need to invest in maintaining our sidewalks and streets. We have a great town and we need to take care of it. This is my vision for the Town of Front Royal. God bless you and God bless Front Royal” Funk moved on to the interview portion of the forum.

First question: What is your impression of the current town/county relationship; and as a member of the council, how would you try and improve the working relationship between the two?

Gillespie: I know in the news before there were a lot of problems between town and county. I think we have a great working relationship now. We need to work together to help bring more jobs to town and county. We definitely need some smaller manufacturing around here. I would just like the opportunity to keep working and to bring in more jobs and to help make people’s lives better.

Tennett: I think that the Board of Supervisors and the town are really doing great right now. Everybody knows each other now. Everybody is getting better communication. I would like to see them do better in some ways.

Carter: It’s been my observation that our county and town relationship is something that has always been there. It’s like a marriage that gets better over time. The county has brought so many enhancements to the town of Front Royal. When you think about it, how can you sell Warren County and not sell Front Royal? For us to do so without the county? No we have to have it. Our relationship has to be nurtured. We’ve got to let them enhance our position. We’ve got an EDA (Economic Development Authority) that is doing things and bringing business to Warren County. The fact that it comes to Warren County means it comes to Front Royal.

Chris Holloway (who is seeking to be re-elected since he was voted out of office in 2012): I think in the past several years the relationship with the town and county has improved

greatly. When I was on council it really wasn’t that great. In the past few years, I know the town does not fund the EDA anymore. That is the county’s responsibility. I know what we need to do is to focus on bringing businesses into town and not just the county. That has happened in the past few years. We’ve had quite a few businesses come. We want to create more high paying jobs to keep people from commuting down to the city. That is the main thing. I think more liaison meetings between the town and county would be great. Also with the EDA, there is nowhere to go but up.

Thompson: “My perception is that the relationship has improved. They can be encouraged with more sit downs with county and town to work together on issues. Because Warren County and Front Royal are basically the same. So we do need to work together.

Second Question: What is the one thing that the town can do to improve Main Street?

Thompson: There are a couple of things. We could potentially look into making it into a walking mall. We could encourage businesses to extend their hours for people who don’t work in town. As we have heard, people are commuting to get the better paying jobs. So maybe extend the hours. The festivals tend to draw people down there. Those are some small things that we can do. Just encourage people to get into business and actually rent out those spaces that are empty right now.

Holloway: “I could say exactly what she just said. I do agree with her. One thing we can do, I know we have had some façade changes downtown. I think that helps a lot. I know some of businesses and some of the owners might not live in our community….

There are certain shops and stores with signs listing when they are supposed to be open and you can go

down there, and they are not open. I think we need to have something that says, ‘hey you need to be open these hours through the week.’ I have a daughter who has gone to one specific shop and they are not open during their business hours. So that is something that needs to be changed. And the walking mall? I think that is probably a really good idea. If we could finally do something like that, I know it is going to cost money. I know that there is not parking on both sides of Main Street like there was back in the day.”

Carter: “The greatest improvement to Main Street would be the time restriction. What good is a great down town if you close it up at 5:00 at night?

How are you going to revitalize downtown if you don’t give those business owners the opportunity to sell what they have? It’s crazy because my wife and I go down there and ask what’s open. There is antique shop that is open you might find Soul Mountain open. We got to do better than that.

We are brilliant people; we can think this out. But to restrict the hours for a business to be open is like tying his hands and putting him a dog fight.

That doesn’t work.”

Tennett: “I have to agree with everything that everybody has said here tonight. We need to get better parking. One idea could be that we could ask to park at E. Wilson Elementary School parking lot when school is not in session. And it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a walking lane so that everyone parking there could go through to get the Main Street. I go to the movies all the time and when the movie is done about the only place that is open is Soul Mountain and the parking down there is unbelievable.

We should be able to find better ways to park down there.”

Gillespie commented that he had been working to improve things down on Main Street. He mentioned the

work that is coming to the Main Street Gazebo area with the new bathrooms that are planned. He suggested putting in a parking garage downtown through some sort of partnership with the town. He also mentioned the grant that the town received to improve some of the facades that need to be updated and repaired.

The next question had to with analyzing the budget and what would it take for any of the candidates to raise taxes.

Gillespie was first up for that question and he replied by saying that a tax increase should be the very last option and that everything on the budget should be looked at. He stated that at this last budget process he had actually voted no for a tax increase, because the town was sitting on a million and a half dollars of tax payers’ money.

Tennett stated that you need to look at everything when looking at a budget and that he didn’t believe in raising taxes. He also stressed the need to get more people to move and settle in Front Royal. He closed by saying that the bottom line is that for him to raise taxes it would have to be an extreme situation.

Carter compared the town council to the head of the household. He used a comparison of writing a check to pay for groceries and not having money in the bank to cover the check. He also stated that he did not believe in taxing and didn’t believe that taxing would bail the town of Front Royal out.

Holloway pointed to the town’s savings account and the fact that he did not vote every for a tax increase during his time on council. He also stressed the need to bring in more

businesses as a way of not raising taxes and raising revenue for the town.

He informed the audience that since 2012, the town’s savings account has gone from 21 million dollars to 29 million dollars.

Thompson said that in analyzing the budget, she would go line by line and see where the town could save.

She also stated that in order for her to agree to a tax increase she would have to see the benefit for the people of Front Royal. She closed by saying that if the tax increase would benefit 90% of the town then she would have to vote yes for that increase.

The next question involved the possibility of shared services between the town and county in an effort to save money. All of the candidates agreed that the services should be looked at between town and county and see if any of the services could be combined.

The last question was would the candidates pledge not to raise taxes.

Thompson said she is not going to make a promise that she can’t keep.

Holloway said it would have to be really good reason to get him to raise taxes. Carter was the only one say that he would not vote to raise taxes.

Tennett said it would have to be really good reason to raise taxes and that he would prefer not to raise taxes. Gillespie reiterated his earlier statement, that raising taxes would be a very last resort.

The Warren County Committee elected to endorse three candidates: Gary Gillespie, Chris Holloway and Alford Carter. The election will take place on November 6th of 2018.

By Carol Ballard Warren/Frederick County Report September brings a new spot for a quick tea or coffee grab and go, delicious breakfast and lunch menu, chocolate and wine to Royal Plaza Shopping Center.

The Vine and Leaf wine and tea bar is moving from Front Royal’s Main Street to near Rural King, across from the Fitness Evolution Gym and on the corner next door to United Bank in the middle section of the shopping center.

“Everyone’s looking forward to seeing us at the new place and to see us continuing the business,” said Craig Laird, Vine and Leaf owner, as he talked about the new venture and the

reasons for the move.

“Our lease was up, so we looked at some other spots, and found the Royal Plaza place. It has high visibility, more space and more room to grow. We’ll hire more people, maybe 3-5 as it gets underway, and we’ll be open more hours,” he said.

New hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., six days a week, and any changes in the schedule will depends on foot traffic, because this will be the only place open on weekends with what they will offer.

He said they’ll start with the existing basic menu but will make a few additions. One offer for breakfast will be convenient grab-and-go items, like bagels and coffee.

“We’ve always had coffee but downplayed it because of all the coffee that was available on Main Street. We have two kinds of coffee: regular and decaf,” he said with a laugh.

“It’s high quality coffee, but we’re not a diner,” he added.

For lunch, there will be items like wraps and pasta. Before they can start serving food, they have to install kitchen equipment, like sinks and other prep items, which they’re bringing with them from the Main Street kitchen.

The tea bar and candy case will accompany all the rest of the inventory.

The tea bar has a unique history of several local people owning it, and the

BUSINESS, from 9 candy case traveled from D&B Chocolates, then to Charlie’s Sweet Times, and eventually came to Shenandoah Confections, where Laird finally bought it.

And he says he bought the scales that accompany the bar and case wholesale. “It’s one advantage of living in a small town,” Laird said with a smile.

The well-traveled candy case features 40 flavors of chocolates and fudge, with handmade artisan chocolates, hand-painted chocolates, and many other choices.

But one of the first things Laird thought of when expanding was how to serve the workers in Royal Plaza.

Some of the delicious lunch items they will have when all is up and running are combos of either salad, sandwiches or Panini and soup (including lobster bisque and rosemary chicken & dumpling )and several types of salads, including a chef ’s salad with three meats, two cheeses and tomatoes.

Prices are $4.99 for soup; salads for $6.99 and combos up to $8.99. And there will always be the chocolate and fudge case to check out the variety of

sweet desserts to take along.

“This will be more of a café style, because the Main Street layout is long with little nooks and crannies, but over there the room is more square, and will have a larger area for meeting and the tables can be moved to be closer together for bigger group meetings, like Kiwanis,” Laird said.

Downtown, a few groups like book clubs have already gathered, and several businesses have held board meetings. He described the tea parties they’ve hosted and said there will be more in the future. Typically, the tea parties were on Sundays and featured three tier trays with sweets, crustless sandwiches and scones.

“I think we will have more business there,” he said.

He believes the shop will not be competition with, but a good complement for other business in the shopping center.

“We had to reapply for our ABC license and hope to have it by midSeptember,” he said.

The store will carry more wine and still carry over 40 varieties of loose leaf herbal teas and more gift items to tempt tourists who come in from the east on John Marshall Highway. Since

Craig Laird, Vine and Leaf owner says, “In September we re-open The Vine and Leaf at 477 E&F South Street with great food, great people, great teas, chocolates, wines and more.”

he believes there will be more tourist traffic, they’ll carry more Virginia products, and definitely more Virginia wine along with the already 100 different kinds of wine they have in stock.

As the holidays approach, gift boxes will be available.

“We want to welcome everyone to come to the new location,” he said.

The target for moving was to be out of the old store and into the new one by the end of August, with a moving date of Saturday, August 25.

“We’d like to open by first of September, but we’ll see!” he said with a smile and a shrug.

Coming up in October, they are already planning “Tea with Mrs. Santa Claus” on Saturday, Oct. 27th at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

“And there will be chocolates for kids and the kids at heart!” he added.

The event will be advertised in September and they will be taking reservations, as there will be food, hors d’oeuvres and wines.

Even with all the changeover paperwork to deal with, he’s dealt with it before so it’s not totally new and he said, “I’ve made it a cool establishment that people want to see, and I’m glad it will stay around Front Royal.”

“I’m happy to be a part of Warren County community and look forward to building the business further,” said Laird.

He mentioned two other new businesses slated to open in the shopping center. They’re always looking for niche businesses to help grow Royal Plaza, and the new bakery called Bea Sweet and Sassy, owned by Tammy Carlyle that will be opening near Valley Medical Center will be a big draw, as will an event company that will also

be opening soon.

“We’ll try to create some partnerships – to work together,” he said.

Laird is also the owner of the 25-year-old Royal Oak Computers, across the street from the former Vine and Leaf location, at 203 E. Main Street, but that business will stay where it is. He is active in the Front Royal Independent Business Alliance, a group that supports local independent businesses and he won Entrepreneur of the Year in 2010 for originally taking over and opening the business.

The Vine and Leaf is located at 477 E&F South Street. For information, call (540) 635-1043 or visit www. thevineandleaf.com.

Town Council to vote on minimal building code enforcement in September Any building code enforcement the council would vote on would not include a Rental Inspection Program

Vice Mayor Eugene Tewalt and Councilman Jacob Meza study the different options available when considering how they will vote on the Property Maintenance Code.

Jeremy Camp, Town Director of Planning and Zoning, explains the different options that the town is considering when passing a property maintenance plan.

By Timothy Ratigan Warren/Frederick County Report On June 4, 2018, during a Front Royal Town Council work session, citizens of Front Royal heard that the town had received news from the Commonwealth of Virginia regarding the blighted buildings within the town limits. The Front Royal Town Council had petitioned the Commonwealth of Virginia to let the Front Royal Town Council handle these buildings that have become a danger and an eyesore to the community as if Front Royal were a city instead of a town. The Commonwealth approved the request.

Town Attorney, Doug Napier, said, “Beginning July 1, 2018, the new town charter goes into effect and we, the town, have the same authority as any other city, town and county in the Commonwealth to deal with blighted or derelict buildings.”

On August 20, 2018, the Front Royal Town Council met for their second work session of the month.

Mayor Hollis Tharpe introduced the topic, asking council members to pick between a total of five choices (A-E).

Vice-Mayor Eugene Tewalt, Councilmen William Sealock and Gary Gillespie all expressed interest in supporting option B, which would only limit enforcement to what is considered “unsafe structures,” and which can already be enforced by what the town attorney referred to as “public nuisance code.”

Councilmen Jacob Meza and Chris Morrison voiced support for option C, which amounts to an adoption of a property maintenance code without a rental inspection program. Councilman John Connolly was the only one who voice support for option A, which is no change whatsoever.

The members of council were asked

to discuss their choices further. Vice Mayor Eugene Tewalt explained, “Since 2000, I’ve been trying to get this thing approved so we can get the opportunity to take care of the dilapidated buildings. I believe that ought to be our first option. We need to worry about dilapidated buildings and forget about the maintenance code until we are ready to approve and have money enough to fund it. We should be able to do this project without hiring anybody. All we need to do is get with Doug (the town attorney) and we may have to get a consultant come in and look at a building, such as the one on the corner of 6th street and Commerce Avenue, and if it is not livable we need to option to remove it or whatever we can do legally. But I am not ready to do a maintenance code.

First thing is that we have no funding. We don’t have anything ready to go. Even though Winchester does it, they’ve been doing it for many years. I was a part of that when I worked over there.”

Tewalt continued, “Before we get into any enforcement code in these buildings, on the outside or inside, I would like to see us start out with doing nothing but trying to get rid of the dilapidated buildings…. We can have Doug or maybe a consultant come in there and run an initial report then we can make the final decision on this new state law that we have.”

Councilman Jacob was next to weigh in the discussion, “I thought the whole reason for this was because we don’t have any teeth under our current system. That we needed to adopt this in order to use it. The example that Councilman Tewalt was talking about – if there was a building that we thought was a problem or a public nuisance we can’t address that right now, right?” asking Doug Napier, the town

attorney.

Napier answered, “The only tool we’ve got right now is this dangerous, unsafe structure. Beyond that we don’t have anything.”

Meza continued, “So option B would allow some level of enforcement, which we currently do not have, without adding property maintenance enforcement, or secretary or any other cost to this program. Is that correct?”

Napier replied that option B would require the Town of Front Royal to have a code enforcer. Meza added, “But we could use the county’s code enforcer or we could hire someone else to do that if there was a building we were concerned about, correct?”

Napier replied, “To the extent that the county would allow us to use theirs then yes.”

Meza asked if that was true for option C as well also stating that he didn’t really see what the difference was. He also questioned why the town of Front Royal was not adopting the whole maintenance code, saying, “The last time we had this conversation the main concern that I thought I heard around council was, at the time, I think we were throwing around numbers like a couple hundred thousand dollars to our budget which was what everyone was concerned about.

When we left that conversation we had an understanding that we can adopt a property maintenance code without a rental inspection program that would allow us to have a little bit more of a leg to stand on for buildings that are dilapidated without necessarily hiring staff for the program. Which option allows for that? My opinion of that was option C.” (Option C would adopt the property maintenance code in full without a rental inspection program.) Meza continued, “We could hire people. We could put in a rental

inspection program. None of that has to happen on day one. We could grow into it.”

Director of Planning and Zoning, Jeremy Camp, chimed in, “You have to have a qualified building official with qualifications of the State Code. It can be outsourced. But I can’t stand up and tell you that there will be no staffing for any of these options other than option A.” (Option A would have no change to the code at all.)

Meza added, “You need an official in order to say that this property is dilapidated, is that correct? It doesn’t meet the code.” Camp agreed.

Meza continued, “Without that you have the ordinance in place but technically no enforcement. Is that correct or am I off on that?”

Camp replied, “Correct, but you have to allow for others to provide assistance for the Code Official. Theoretically you could outsource the Code Official like Middletown has done.

Then staff will handle the day to day activities.”

Town Attorney Doug Napier said, “Here is what state code says. You have to have a Code Official. The Code Official shall have at least five years’ building experience and licensed in engineering, architecture, building, fire trade inspector, contractor housing inspector, superintendent of building and at least five years building experience after obtaining a degree in architecture of engineering with at least three years’ experience.” Meza asked if a Code Official would have to be on staff or if you could have them on retainer. Napier replied, “They could be on staff or they could be on retainer.”

Meza continued, “So why don’t we get this in place and start growing the program but not throwing $2,000,000 at it. Again that number was thrown around last time but with staff and focus on the main concern, the buildings that we have which is the whole reason this came up with the dilapidated buildings process.”

Jeremy Camp adds, “Option B only deals with the worst properties such as the one on 6th street. Option C ad-

dresses everything, applies to all buildings in the town. That is the major difference.”

Mayor Hollis Tharpe asked, “So we can take a baby step with Option B?” Jeremy replied, “Option B would be the baby step.”

Meza replied, “I am still in favor of Option C and getting it place and working from there. I don’t believe there is any real cost change from B and C.” Vice Mayor Tewalt replied, “C is fine if we are not going to do the whole – what you got here – the maintenance stuff. Maybe C is the answer. I’m not sure. I can’t see us at this point going into a whole maintenance program in the beginning. We have got to start off somewhere. We don’t start off in the middle. We’ve got to start at the bottom and work towards it.

Jeremy Camp interjected, “Level B is the lowest level we could start.

Strasburg went with option C, but they’re just not enforcing it.”

Napier added by saying, “When Jeremy and I talked to Winchester they suggested starting with baby steps, go into [enforcement] slow. Get everyone used to it.”

The mayor recommended that maybe there could be some dialogue between the town manager, town attorney, and the builders regarding the dilapidated buildings.

The vice mayor added, “That is what I mentioned a while ago. We start out in the infancy program in the beginning. I think your best step at this Purchase a bottle of Doc's BBQ sauce from Shop n Save, Rural King or Food Max & receive a FREE Pulled Pork Sandwich w/proof of purchase.

point would be to hire somebody that has those credentials that you read.

When you find someone with those credentials you are not going to get them for 40 or 50 thousand dollars. It’s going to cost you a chunk. I’d rather see us go ahead and hire somebody.

That won’t put the town too far in the middle of the issue because we don’t have that person on staff. This consultant comes in and makes the recommendation and we follow that

recommendation. I think that would be easier for us as a council than to hire someone and have them on staff and then make that recommendation, because then it is going to come right back onto us. If we hire a consultant to do it I think it would be cheaper in the long run. We don’t need to have them on staff every day every month. When we get ready to do a dilapidated building that is when we would call them in. Then if this works well we can go

ahead and start to consider the second part of the maintenance code.”

Councilman Bill Sealock reminded the council about the visit from Virginia Delegate Member Chris Collins by saying, “I think we as a council agreed when we had Chris Collins in here two times, that we needed him to go before the Legislature to get it in our Charter. So that committed us right there. Then a month ago I got on the platform when I said we need

to de-couple our building code from rental property maintenance. And that is what this does. If we go with option C, that takes both safety and maintenance. But you’ve got to decide how you are going to implement it. That is what I asked for before was this attempt to get there. You can go with B or C but you have to be committed that you are going to have to hire somebody or you are going to bring a consultant in on an as needed basis.”

Chris Morrison said he liked option C because it goes back to the original broad strokes that Vice Mayor Tewalt brought up: the idea of talking about a defined area and the whole town.

Morrison also stated that he liked Meza’s idea of a program. Sealock added that he wanted to step into the program carefully instead of jumping into it full force.

After going around the table and

taking a poll the general consensus was three council members, Tewalt, Sealock, and Gillespie, were in support of option B, which would give the town an additional legal path for enforcing unsafe structures. Two members, Meza and Morrison, were in support of option C, which would address all structures in the down. Option C would also address maintenance issues and could be enforced on either a complaint basis or proactive enforcement. Both B and C would leave out the rental inspection options. One councilmember, John Connolly, was still in support of option A, which amounts to leaving things the way they are. In the end, the council decided to work on the motion and bring it back to a work session before a final vote sometime in September.

Stephens City Active Living Center hosts wedding for two members Family and friends gathered to wish Bonnie Smith and Jack Vickers well on August 15

Jack Vickers and Bonnie Smith were married by the Reverend Paul Campbell, who also attends Stephens City Active Living Center where they met as volunteers.

By Carol Ballard Warren/Frederick County Report The bride wore a baby pink dress and a sparkly medium length veil.

“I’m a sparkle person,” said Bonnie Smith.

And her eyes were sparkling on the day of her wedding to Jack Vickers in front of their family and friends, who had gathered to wish the happy couple well on their new life together.

The couple were married August 15 at the Stephens City United Methodist Church’s Fellowship Hall, where they had met at the Active Living Center.

Jack coordinated with his bride by wearing a pink shirt, pink and lavender tie, white pants, and a navy blazer on their wedding day.

They and their director Pala Schro-

eder met for a pre-wedding interview to share their happiness on August 13, the Monday before the date.

When asked if they had joined the center hoping to find a partner, both immediately said no, but added that they were, “Very happy and excited” now.

Pala quickly noted that the center, which is part of The Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging in Frederick County, is for people to get together to do things, to be with other people, experience socialization, find friends and companionship. She added that about 40 congregants come daily.

“But they were not looking for love, just a place to have fun and meet new people. You never know where love will blossom,” she added.

During the interview, their story unfolded.

Bonnie, now a resident of Winchester, is from Maryland, and was introduced to the center by a neighbor in August of 2017. Jack is from West Virginia, and currently lives in Stephens City. He also joined the center in late August of 2017 after visiting as a guest of another couple. Both of them like being here in the Valley.

One day when they were both at the center, a volunteer who usually came in called in sick. So, in need of help to fold napkins and arrange silverware for an upcoming meal, Pala asked for help.

“We both volunteered for that and started to volunteer together, (at other times) then started holding hands, then got married!” said Jack.

In April, Jack proposed to Bonnie at the center, and everyone got involved in planning for the wedding and reception.

“They got romantically involved over napkins and silverware!” said Pala.

Jack, 67, said he had lived 12 years by himself, and didn’t date, but when he met Bonnie, “It was not love at first sight, but close to it! I’m getting mar-

ried for the last time.”

When asked how she felt about getting married, 70-year-old Bonnie said, “I didn’t think I’d like it, but I’m ecstatic. I feel like I’m 15 and I’m counting the days.”

“Two days and a wake up,” Jack said enthusiastically.

Pala said that everyone at the center was happily pitching in and helping with food and estimated that they’re expecting about 100 guests to be at the wedding.

The Comfort Keepers musical group, who do Karaoke for the Center, are scheduled to played “Annie’s Song” written by John Denver. The Methodist Church’s women’s group has volunteered to donate the sparkling cider for the wedding feast.

They already have a minister inhouse, because Reverend Paul Campbell is also a member of the Active Living Center.

They said members of the couple’s family would be coming for the wedding, some as far away as Colorado.

Bonnie has a daughter, son and three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Jack has two daughters and three grandchildren, and two of his granddaughters, ages 12 and 14, will be there to take part in the event. His 12-year-old granddaughter would give out tickets for a drawing to win the center table arrangements, (pink and white roses and porcelain doves) decorating the tables and his 14-year-old granddaughter is in charge of seating guests.

“They are too old to be flower girls but will be a part of it and will have the memory,” said Jack.

They said they would be leaving for Culpeper on their honeymoon the day after the wedding and stay through the weekend visiting the Train Museum, with a day trip to Charlottesville and shopping. He said he wanted to show Bonnie a place he’s already visited.

“It’s like a little tourist section, and I’m looking forward to going to Frost Café two blocks from the train station,” he said.

“I can’t wait, it’s wonderful, like a brand-new life – something I never expected and never thought I’d find,” said Bonnie. “I couldn’t be much happier.”

Jack added, “I always heard there’s someone for everyone and now I believe it,” he said.

They said almost at the same time, “We’re glad to be here and will still volunteer here after the wedding!”

“I’m glad they met at the senior center, said Pala, and added that people often come to the center through word of mouth.

She went on to describe some of the day-to-day activities and benefits people get when they join others at the Active Living Center.

“Usually we provide an hour program, and a delicious hot lunch. The Comfort Keepers do Karaoke for the Center and they will provide music for the wedding,” she said.

Pala has been with the Center for five years and is enthusiastic about what it has to offer to participants.

She describes it as a wonderful place to meet and make friends if someone is in need of companionship, or even if they are living with someone, the center is there for them. Besides the dayto day activities, they go on field trips, get together with other senior centers in spring and fall and invite each other to come and do things. They’ve hosted Irish dancers, had a Valentine’s Party on Valentine’s Day at the Clarke County Center, and appropriately, Jack and Bonnie were crowned King and Queen of the Frederick County Senior Center at the party.

On October 23 they will get together with other centers for a for a seniors’ costume dance party at the Clarke County Senior Center with Halloween costumes, contest and games.

The Frederick County Active Living Center meets from Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. –to 1 p.m. at the United Methodist Church at 5283 Main Street, in Stephens City.

Stephens City native supports ballistic missile defenders in Spain

Hospitalman Shayne Serna is a 2016 graduate of Sherando High School.

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Brian T. Glunt, Navy Office of Community Outreach ROTA, Spain – A 2016 Sherando High School graduate and Stephens City, Virginia, native is serving in Spain at Naval Hospital Rota in support of ballistic-missile defense ships forwarddeployed to Naval Station (NAVSTA) Rota.

Hospitalman Shayne Serna is a Navy

hospital corpsman working at Naval Hospital Rota and is responsible for assisting and providing medical care for active duty, reserve, civilian employees and dependent families at the hospital.

Serna credits success in the Navy with lessons learned growing up in Stephens City.

“I learned to be competitive and always strive toward excellence,” said Serna. “I’m thankful to all of the mentors I have had to push me to never settle or

become complacent.”

Naval Station Rota is operationally equipped with four forward-deployed Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers tasked to enhance the ballistic missile defense of the European region.

These four destroyers have a critical NATO mission, specifically to provide full coverage protection for all NATO European populations, territories and forces against the increasing threats posed by the ability to acquire ballistic missiles capabilities.

According to the NATO website, many countries have, or are trying to develop ballistic missiles. The ability to acquire these capabilities does not necessarily mean there is an immediate intent to attack NATO, but that the alliance has a responsibility to take any possible threat into account as part of its core task of collective defense.

Ballistic Missile Defense is a key defensive capability for the U.S., providing protection against the threat of short and medium-range ballistic missile attacks. Stationing four ballistic missile defense ships in Spain provides an umbrella of protection to forwarddeployed forces, friends and allies while contributing to a broader defense of the United States.

Situated on a 6,100-acre Spanish Navy base, Naval Station Rota provides cargo, fuel and logistics support to units transiting the region, supporting U.S. and NATO ships; U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force aircraft with a 670-acre airfield; and the largest weapons and fuels facilities in Europe. Under the guidance of the Agreement on Defense Cooperation (ADC), the U.S. and Spanish navies work together and share many facilities.

The Kingdom of Spain is a very important ally to the United States for projecting military power into the Mediterranean, North Africa and Middle East. The United States has sig-

nificant shared security interests. Spain has traditionally supported U.S. forces’ deployments and operations, enabling U.S. forces to depart from Spain directly into international air and sea space.

“U.S. Naval Hospital Rota understands the unique demands and challenges that the fleet, forces and families of our community face,” said Capt. Judy Cynthia, commanding officer U.S. Naval Hospital Rota. “We are honored to provide operationally relevant medical care and support that not only meets all of the civilian healthcare quality standards, but is highly specialized and tailored to meet the needs of those we serve.”

Serving in the Navy is a continuing tradition of military service for Serna, who has military ties with family members who have previously served. Serna is honored to carry on that family tradition.

“My stepfather was a Navy SEAL during the Vietnam era,” said Serna.

“He always had a deep love and pride for the Navy, something that I now understand and share.”

Serna is also proud of earning Letters of Commendation for participating in flight surgeon graduations and she received a specialty in aviation medicine.

As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Serna and other servicemembers at Naval Station Rota know they are a part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes providing the Navy the nation needs.

“I think my service has matured me while reminding me that I need to take time for myself every so often,” said Serna. “My service has taught me to create

a balance between work and home life.”

Living in Spain while serving at Naval Hospital Rota has been a positive impact on sailors, including Serna.

“My favorite part of serving in Spain is the culture,” said Serna. “There’s nothing like the cathedrals and castles that are here back in the states. It’s amazing to experience it up close rather than in books or lectures.”

BRIEFS, from 19 Fans will also have a chance to enjoy “one of a kind” experiences, like owning a horse for a day, taking a ride in the starter’s car during an actual race, and even riding in a double-seated sulky behind the horse an an exhibition race. On several occasions during the meet, fans will be drawn at random to “own” a horse competing in a $3,000 race. They will get to meet their horse, trainer and driver, take pictures of the occasion, enjoy complimentary lunch, and most importantly, keep the amount of purse money their horse wins in that race. The winning horse gets 50% of the purse --- $1,500 in a $3,000 race. Details of these events are at www.shenandoahdowns.com and at the Shenandoah Dowens facebook page.

The season’s highlight will take place on Saturday September 29th when harness racing’s top money earning horse ever will appear for a Meet & Greet session with fans, then compete in a pari-mutuel race. Foiled Again is the star attraction --- a 14 year old pacer who has bankrolled over $7.5 million in his spectacular career. He won his 100th race on July 6th this year and he has made 317 starts. He is a two time “Horse of the Year” honoree and he will will be retiring at the end of 2018. “This is such a great and unique opportunity for racing fans in the area ,” said Shenandoah Dowens Race Secretary, Dee Lineweaver.

“Foiled Again is a racing legend. Fans can get their pitcture taken with him, then see him compete in one of his final races ever. We expect a full house that afternoon.”

Shenandoah Downs is located in Woodstock, Virginia, halfway between Winchester and Harrisonburg on I-81 at Exit 283. The track itself is located at the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds. A number of hotels and restaurants are located within a half mile of the exit and Fairgrounds.

BRIEFS, from 21 fatal crash in Frederick County. The crash occurred Aug. 19, 2018 at 3:01 p.m. on Route 50, approximately 50 feet north of Route 614.

A 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee pulled out from Route 614/Back Mountain Road and into the path of a 1998 Subaru Legacy traveling east on Route 50.

The Subaru was unable to avoid the Jeep and the two vehicles collided on Route 50/Northwestern Pike.

The driver of the Jeep, Roy C. Pugh, 85, of Gore, Va., was transported to Winchester Memorial Hospital.

The driver of the Subaru, A 17-yearold Winchester, Va. female, was transported to Winchester Memorial Hospital for treatment of serious, but non-life threatening, injuries. She was wearing a seat belt. A passenger in the Subaru, Majestik L. Breeden, 19, of Cross Junction, Va., was transported to Winchester Memorial Hospital.

Both Pugh and Breeden died later Sunday, Aug. 19, at the hospital. Neither one was wearing a seat belt.

The crash remains under investigation.

Virginia State Police Investigating Culpeper Incident The Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Culpeper Field Office is investigating a pursuit that ended with the driver of the suspect vehicle suffering a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The incident began Sunday (Aug. 26) at approximately 1:31 a.m. when a Town of Culpeper Police Officer observed a Toyota Camry driving at a high rate of speed through a work zone on Route 29 Business in the Town of Culpeper. The officer activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The Camry refused to stop for the officer and sped away. A pursuit was initiated. Moments later and within 3/4 of a mile, the driver of the Camry lost control and struck a van parked in front of a residence on Belle Avenue. The impact of that crash caused the Camry to spin out of control and finally come to a stop at the intersection of Belle Avenue and Belle Grove Court.

One of the Camry’s passengers, a 16-year-old Culpeper County male, fled the scene on foot as soon as the vehicle crashed. A canine team was able to assist with locating and apprehending him a short time later.

As the Culpeper officer approached the vehicle, he heard a single gunshot come from inside the Camry. Further investigation determined that the 16-year-old Culpeper County male driver shot himself. He was immediately transported to UVA Hospital and is still being treated for life-threatening injuries.

A 19-year-old (no fixed address) male passenger and another 16-yearold Culpeper County male passenger were taken into custody without incident. The 16-year-old was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of minor injuries sustained in the traffic crash.

The Culpeper Police Officer never

discharged his weapon or was injured in the incident.

State police recovered the driver’s handgun from inside the vehicle and a second handgun found outside the vehicle.

The investigation remains ongoing at this time. Charges are pending.

Virginia State Police Special Agent Arrested on Federal Criminal Complaint A Virginia State Police Special Agent, formerly assigned to the Tazewell County High Intensity Drug Task Force, was arrested this morning on a federal criminal complaint charging him with lying to a federal agent.

Shade Workman, 46, of Bluefield, Va., was arrested this morning and charged in a federal criminal complaint with one count of lying to a federal agent.

“By engaging in this criminal conduct and lying to the FBI, this trooper betrayed the trust of the esteemed Virginia State Police and the citizens he was sworn to protect,” U.S. Attorney Cullen stated. “The United States Attorney’s Office, along with our partners at the FBI, are committed to investigating and prosecuting allegations of corruption by law-enforcement officers.”

It is my hope that this case makes clear to our Virginia communities that they are protected by the best - and only the best.”

According to the criminal complaint and affidavit, Workman made false statements to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who were investigating allegations of Workman’s inappropriate relationships with confidential informants. As stated in the affidavit, when questioned, Workman falsely denied having inappropriate and sexual relationships with confidential informants and also denied instructing a confidential informant to destroy evidence of those relationships.

The investigation of the case was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Virginia State Police. Assistant United States Attorney Zachary T. Lee will prosecute the case for the United States.

A criminal complaint is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. The defendant is entitled to a fair trial with the burden on the government to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

R-MA Cadet Spends Summer Weeks at Brown, Yale Randolph-Macon Academy’s Katherine Babineau ’20 of Front Royal, VA, wanted to make sure that the summer between her sophomore and junior years would be an impressive one, one that would help build her college resume and at the same time help her clarify her future goals and dreams.

Babineau applied to the summer programs at both Brown University and Yale University. Not wanting to put all her eggs into just those two programs, both of which are selective, she also researched other programs and was on the verge of applying to them when she received her acceptance to Brown University’s Summer Program.

Elated, she decided that nothing but Yale could top that, so she did not apply to any others.

When she got the emailed notice from Yale that she was accepted to their summer program, Babineau said, “I saw the email said, ‘Congratulations,’ and I dropped my phone. It was awesome. I was so excited.”

Brown was up first, where Babineau spent a week exploring “Using laboratory organisms in biomedical research.” “I had so much fun,” she said.

“Class was three hours long. We spent one hour talking about what we were

FUNDRAISING

Middletown, VA, will close Main Street to host a dinner for 250 residents and raise money for NW Works, a non-profit that helps people with barriers to employment find meaningful work. The Third Annual Farm to Table Dinner will bring neighbors from all walks of life together for a family-style meal prepared and served by professionals from Firefly Café & Bakery, a Winchester favorite that provides training and job support for people with disabilities. Through the coordinated efforts of Middletown’s business community, the Mayor, the Fire Chief, the Police Chief, and the Frederick County Sheriff, Main Street becomes the setting for a lovely dinner party complete with delicious food, lively conversation, and warm support for a worthy cause.

“The Farm to Table event exemplifies the best of small town America,” said Charles Harbaugh, IV, Mayor of Middletown. “All the businesses in Middletown support the event and everyone in town is excited to break bread together and raise money for an important organization. Farm to Table is an amazing annual experience that feeds the soul of the whole community.”

going to do, a lot of time in the lab, and a lot of time looking at the changes taking place. I loved it.”

The freedom at Brown was new to her. As a day student at R-MA, she has her parents at home to keep her on track, and a structured schedule to follow at the Academy. At Brown, no one was there to get her up or tell her when to leave to go to class on time, but she was still expected to be where she was supposed to be. The dorms were more relaxed there as well. “They trust you to make good decisions, and if you don’t, that’s your problem,” she commented. “At the same time, the RA really cared about us.”

From her fantastic experience at Brown, Babineau returned to R-MA for a few intense weeks, where she took World Religions for credit to free up time for more science and math courses during the regular school year. As a future pre-med student, she knows those two subjects are of utmost importance on her transcript, and they are also the subjects she loves.

Not surprisingly, at Yale she took another science course, “Biological and Biomedical Science.” Again she was fascinated by the course material and loved the work, but the time there also confirmed her beliefs about Yale.

“Yale was amazing!” she commented. “I had such a great time meeting people from all around the world and learning about new cultures while also getting an in-depth look at what life at Yale University is like. This visit only solidified Yale as my first-choice college.”

This young lady returned to the R-MA campus before most of her peers. She is a member of the Air Force Junior ROTC student leadership, cadre, and attended the summer leadership course, successfully graduating on August 17th. She is also a member of the R-MA varsity football team.

Woman struck by vehicle in parking lot On August 16, 2018, at approximately 5:45pm, the Front Royal Police Department responded to a report of a pedestrian struck in the 400 block of South Commerce Avenue. When officers arrived, they observed a large group of individuals standing around a female subject who was lying on the asphalt in the Mom’s Country Kitchen parking lot. The female victim was transported immediately by helicopter to Winchester Medical Center (WMC), after EMS assessed her injuries.

During the subsequent investigation, it was revealed that this event stemmed from a potential road rage incident that started on westbound I-66 and culminated in the parking lot of the Front Royal Business Park.

The suspect attempted to leave and allegedly struck the female victim See BRIEFS, 24

Ask Stewart

Hey Stewart,

Yew know who.

I’ve noticed you often use humor in your tree answers. Have you considered going on a talent show? Good comedians are hard to find.

– Lisa in Linden

What is every single tree’s least favorite month?

SepTIMMMBERRR!

I’m glad you find my tree information humorous, and hopefully helpful and interesting. I’ve been squirreling away a few jokes and riddles for a rainy day – and it has been raining a lot this August. So here they are!

A crime was committed in the forest, and the police are stumped.

Who did it?

What must trees drink responsibly?

Root beer.

Why can’t Christmas trees sew?

They always drop their needles.

What happened to the wooden car with wooden wheels and a wooden engine?

It wooden go.

How many trees can you plant in

an empty forest?

One. After that, it’s not empty anymore.

What weighs more, a pound of leaves or a pound of logs?

They both weigh the same.

And my personal favorite: Why do Platanus occidentalis have to see the doctor more than any other trees?

Because they are sycamore.

Rim shot. Drop the microphone.

Walk off stage.

Your Pal in the Trees,

- Stewart

Engle’s Angle: “Twelve Years”

By Kevin S. Engle As a kid, I didn’t like this time of year.

End of August meant end of summer vacation.

And you know what came next?

Back to school.

It wasn’t all bad though.

When I reflect upon my “twelve year hostage crisis”, as Matt wrote in my senior yearbook, I do have some good memories.

I met my best friend Jon in the 7th grade and we’re still pals today. I wish he could tell me why his parents spelled his name without an ‘h’.

Miss Gustafson was my French teacher in junior high school. Everyone loved her. She had a great big laugh and made learning fun.

At lunch, all the guys couldn’t wait to hear what Chuckie’s dad had written on the napkins in his brown bag lunch. It was a funny story that just kept going.

Those same guys always made fun of my lunch. Specifically, the sandwich my mother packed for me. It wasn’t your typical slice or two of bologna or stack of chipped ham sandwich. No, mine were on steroids, several inches thick. I think my mother was trying to fatten me up. It was more lunch meat than anyone should have in a week. And that’s probably why I don’t eat much of it today.

There was that time when my little carton of milk was a block of ice.

When I showed it to one of the lunch ladies, “it’ll melt,” she said. No milk for me that day.

I played organized football for the first time. Having never worn the uniform before, and being a bit stupid, I didn’t realize there were pockets for your knee pads to slide into. I thought they stayed in place by themselves. They didn’t.

Mr. Gosser’s 12th grade Biology class. It was the last two periods every day. I did not like that class, nor was I wild about him. On the very first day of school, we chitchatted for all of 10 seconds and then it was time to get to work. And on the second day of school, he gave us a 130 point test!

We’d take so many notes your hand hurt.

And there was that incident when something mysteriously showed up in the aquarium. Something that wasn’t supposed to be there. Mr. Gosser found it that night and said if he learned who the genius was who put it there, that person would be in trouble.

So I’m a genius?

He wrote “Good luck” under his photo in my yearbook. He probably wanted to say “Good riddance”. Yeah, back at ya.

I liked Math. So much so that when I ran for Senior Class President, my slogan was “Try Engle”. Get it? Obviously, my classmates didn’t. I lost to my friend Lori in a landslide.

One Friday night junior or senior year I was out with friends and got home later than I was supposed to. My mother accidentally (?) locked the door from the garage into the house. This was before cell phones. I spent that night in the garage, sleeping in the back seat of her car.

Practicing with my friends Jon, Steve, Brian, Mark and Rob on the Scholastic Quiz team. We got on TV and kicked a lot of nerd butt.

Ok, my 12 year hostage crisis wasn’t all bad.

But would I do it again?

Hell no!

Why would I? I’m a genius.

The author is not a genius anymore. He gets dummer dumber every year.

new cutting-edge facial comparison biometric system, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations (OFO) at Washington Dulles International Airport intercepted an imposter posing as a French Citizen.

On August 22, 2018, a 26-year-old man traveling from Sao Paulo, Brazil presented a French passport to the CBP officer conducting primary inspections. The officer utilized CBP’s new facial comparison biometric technology which confirmed the man was not a match to the passport he presented. The CBP officer referred the traveler to secondary for a comprehensive examination. In secondary, CBP officers noted the traveler’s behavior changed and he became visibly nervous. A search revealed the man’s authentic Republic of Congo identification card concealed in his shoe.

Using another person’s identity document is a serious violation of U.S. immigration laws that could result in criminal prosecution. CBP is withholding the man’s name until the investigation is completed.

“Facial recognition technology is an important step forward for CBP in protecting the United States from all types of threats,” said Casey Durst, CBP’s Director of the Baltimore Field Office. “Terrorists and criminals continually look for creative methods to enter the U.S. including using stolen genuine documents. The new facial recognition technology virtually eliminates the ability for someone to use a genuine document that was issued to someone else.” The impostor intercepted at Washington Dulles International Airport was the first impostor detected using the new technology.

While providing a level of convenience for the traveler, facial recognition helps CBP swiftly identify impostors.
