2019 United Way Day of Caring in Front Royal Page 2 • Warren/Frederick County Report • Mid June, 2019

United Way of Front RoyalWarren County has begun planning for its 2019 Day of Caring and is currently accepting applications for client projects. This year’s event will be held on September 13, 2019 from 9 A.M. until jobs are completed.

“With have changed the date for

our Day of Caring this year,” stated Steven Schetrom, Executive Director, when asked about the date change for this year. “The date change was necessary, because of my recent hiring. However, we are anticipating a great Day this year, as many volunteer applications have already arrived at our office,

and client applications continue to arrive regularly as well.”

Each year, United Way volunteers help selected clients with home repairs, cleaning and other tasks, such as painting, yard cleanup, landscaping, minor plumbing, electrical and carpentry work pending required expertise. This year we will accept applications from nonprofit agencies and schools in addition to homeowners.

Clients must meet the following qualifications: live in Warren County; income at or below 200% of the poverty guideline; certify that they are the homeowner and that the home is not being prepped for sale. Client applications are available on our website or at our office. Completed applications must be submitted to our office no later than August 1, 2019.

Our volunteers make the dif-

ference. We have several teams of truly dedicated volunteers who come out year after year to make a difference in the quality of life for our neighbors.

If you are aware of anyone needing some help to stay comfortable in their home or to volunteer for our 2019 Day of Caring, please contact us at info@frontroyalunitedway.org or 540-635-3636.

1989 Vape Company is new in Royal Plaza Shopping Center Christopher Morgenstern wants to help folks lose the addiction of tobacco smoking

Christopher Morgenstern, owner of 1989 Vape Company, is shown here with Cotton, the store’s mascot.

The 1989 Vape Company arrived in Royal Plaza Shopping Center with a soft opening in January.

he added.

Adding to the relaxed atmosphere is “Cotton,” the shop’s feline mascot, who likes to wander

On a recent Monday morning, Bradley Herrell, Douglas Breeden and Jack Cooper were all sitting around the counter at 1989 Vape Company, and owner Christopher (Chris) Morgenstern stood behind it while engaging all in friendly conversation.

“We’re a big, friendly community of people who do this,” Morgenstern said.

The new business opened in the Royal Plaza Shopping Center on January 7 and Morgenstern said after the first month, about ten

people started coming in regularly to the shop.

“I like to have a place for people to come and be companionable,”

around on the shelves and knock liquid bottles onto the floor, hopefully without breaking them.

“If she knocks only one bottle

off, I use it as the flavor of the day,” Morgenstern said with a grin.

Bradley Herrell had a vaping device (called a “mod”) in front of him and when asked about it, he said that he had never been a cigarette (tobacco) smoker but was around smokers all his life and had seen some of the negative consequences from smoking.

But he had a different reason for vaping.

“I use it to stay calm and relieve anxiety,” he said.

Some believe the simple act of keeping hands busy and releasing the “vapors” can be used as a relief for stress, as well as helping to wean folks off nicotine by allowing them to continue the motions of smoking without the harmful side effects.

Jack Cooper had another unusual reason for getting into vaping.

He had smoked cigars, a pipe and chewed tobacco, but his wife complained that he smelled.

“So I started vaping so I wouldn’t stink!” he exclaimed.

And Douglas Breeden said that he had smoked for 25 years, but after trying vaping, “I like it compared to the smoke, and feel like it’s better for me.”

One reason for opening the shop, Morgenstern said, was because he wanted to find something

that helps others.

Originally, he studied science in college and wanted to be a veterinarian in order to help animals.

But he eventually took a year off from college and worked for other vaping businesses, learning the trade, then decided to use his savings and open his own business.

He said he enjoys what he is doing now.

“For me, I want people to be healthier. My satisfaction is knowing I can help them get and stay healthy,” Morgenstern said.

He used his parents as examples of what changing from smoking to vaping has done.

They had both smoked since before he was born, but Morgenstern said he couldn’t tolerate the smoke and saw how it affected the health conditions they had to deal with.

“My dad was always wheezing, and my mom always talked about not liking to run. When she started vaping, I saw her demeanor change. She started running half marathons with friends, and Dad started running with her,” he said.

In March of this year, his parents both entered a 55K marathon in Utah.

“My dad finished, but Mom stayed behind to be with her slower friends,” he said.

Warren/Frederick County Report 1989 Vape Company owner, Chris Morgenstern, welcomes his friends Bradley Herrell, Douglas Breeden and Jack Cooper, who visit regularly to relax, talk, and catch up while vaping.

He said the new activities have helped his mom socially, and she goes out more often to be with friends.

Morgenstern’s dad had been diagnosed with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) but after changing to vaping from smoking, when he went back for a checkup after a year and they took new xrays, the doctor told him it looked “like he had never smoked in his life,” Morgenstern said.

While he was talking about his family, Morgenstern explained that he named the shop “1989 Vape Company” in memory of his brother, Bryan, who was born in

Several of the guys who were in the shop that day talked about the controversy over vaping and said that they believe that tobacco companies want to keep the negativity about it going because they stand to lose money.

There is a lot of information online and in publications about the potential dangers of vaping for people who want to be educated on the issue.

Morgenstern added that he believes that vaping will never be

better than doing nothing but thinks it’s better than smoking or using other forms of tobacco. He’s seen people start vaping and stop smoking.

When asked whether there are about laws banning vaping in public places like with smoking, he said that right now it’s discretionary, but he personally feels it’s disrespectful to others. He said there’s no specific Virginia state law against it right now.

However, beginning July first, there will be a 21-plus age restriction on vaping anywhere.

He said that he cards people

anyway, and added, “Even though they’re 18 now, they won’t be allowed to do it in a month, and I don’t want them to start.”

Morgenstern also stressed that he doesn’t sell any devices that are for drug use.

There will probably be more laws governing vape shops in the future.

Recently, the FDA has put more restrictions on vape shops, regulating levels of nicotine, requiring registration of flavors and making it illegal for owners to mix flavors themselves.

Others are concerned about teenagers getting involved in the practice.

Research related to underage vaping has shown that any kind of use of nicotine for teenagers is not advised. As teenagers can easily hide vaping devices, parents and school officials are not always aware of nicotine being used by young people.

Adults are also advised to read about the effects of vaping and consult their physicians before starting.

But Morgenstern said he has seen a lot of good effects from vaping. One woman he knew had been taking a Vicodin prescribed by her physician, but she didn’t like it, so he prescribed cannabidiol (CBD) oil for her pain and she came in to see how she could vape it.

According to the publication, Waking Times, “many users prefer to vape CBD oil instead of swallowing it, as this method makes more CBD bio available faster.”

Morgenstern talked about another woman who often visited the shop who was suffering from cancer and going through chemotherapy.

“It was tough when she died.

She always smiled even though she was in pain,” he said and added, “I always shave my head in sympathy with people I know have cancer.

I do it without having to say any particular thing about it to them.”

Morgenstern likes to have friends, which he also considers

family, come by and enjoy social events. For example, at their grand opening he had snacks like cheese, crackers and cookies and brought his Playstation for guests to play the video game Mortal Kombat.

“Many people who come in here enjoy the same things I enjoy. We watched new episodes of the (television show) ‘Game of Thrones’ every week for a while,” he said.

Morgenstern said he also likes to create personal relationships with the people who come in and tries to find the best fit for each person. After finding out which products and devices are best for them, he remembers their preferences when they come back in.

He has a series of questions for them that range from how often they smoke, how long they’ve been smoking, whether they smoke while driving or consistently throughout the day, and whether they use it for something to do with their hands.

“One size doesn’t fit all, and some are able to quit with a smaller device and others can’t,” he said.

Morgenstern added that he likes to be consumer-friendly by not advocating multiple upgrades but finding a fair price for each person.

“If you go to Fairfax or Manassas, the prices can be twice what they are here,” he said.

The guys in the shop that morning also talked about the competitions that were popular a while back, with people trying to blow out bigger and bigger clouds and “looking dumb” by doing odd body contortions like “butt wiggles.”

This produced a lot of laughs

Deadline for Council to renew right of refusal on sale of former town hall building discussed at work session

The former Front Royal Town Hall building sits empty with a For Sale sign outside its front doors. The deadline for the town’s first right of refusal on the sale of the building is fast approaching.

By Timothy Ratigan Warren/Frederick County Report To some in Front Royal and Warren County, it seems like ages ago when the Town Council proposed to trade the old town hall building for the abandoned Afton Inn. To others it seems like this nightmare began just yesterday.

There are still complaints about that infamous trade, which inspired former councilwoman Bebhinn Egger to seek public office and herald a warning that most would ignore until it was too late.

The stately former town hall sits on North Royal Avenue, its name stripped from over the front doorway. In its place is a simple plaque that tells of the building’s history; the equivalent of a retiring person getting a cheap gold-plated watch as thanks for a lifetime of dedication and hard work.

The once-grand Afton Inn had its windows of the top two floors ripped out and its decaying innards laid bare for the world to see as it stands alone with an unclear future.

The last thing that the supporters of the switch wanted to see was the Afton Inn caught up in the recent Warren County Economic Development Authority embezzlement scandal. Over $50,000 of the funds earmarked to renovate the aging structure was alleged to have been redirected to pay the former executive director of the EDA Jennifer McDonald’s personal credit card accounts, according to a lawsuit.

At the May 20th, 2019 Front Royal Town Council work session, the agenda included the deadline

for the council to renew its right to have first right of refusal on the sale of the former town hall building. This sparked the discussion of a land exchange agreement pertaining to the former town hall building.

On February 10, 2014, council approved a resolution and Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the EDA that incorporates a Land

The old Afton Inn sits empty, with all work stopped as it too waits in limbo for officials to decide whether renovation work will continue or not.

Exchange Agreement between the EDA and Afton Inn, LLC specific to the Afton Inn (2 E. Main St.) and the former Town Hall (16 N. Royal Avenue) Per the resolution, council found that the economic development of the town and county and the public benefit and common good would be more timely and accurately served by allowing the EDA to select the ultimate owner and user of the Af-

ton Inn property; and by gifting and donating the former Town Hall property to the EDA. In June 2014, the MOA and the land exchange agreement were signed, including the seven restrictive covenants, acknowledged by Afton Inn, LLC, that would pass with the title and run with the land.

evening was item number two of the Exchange Terms, the Five Year Right of First Refusal which expires from the date of closing, which was June 24, 2014.

During the work session, Vice Mayor William Sealock (who is currently the town’s acting mayor) tasked Town Manager Joe Waltz to update the council and begin the discussion of the status of the former town hall building on North Royal Avenue.

“The reason I put this on the agenda tonight is it came up under my assistant’s planner that the five-year window for the first right of refusal on the town hall building expires in the third week of June of this year.

I wanted to make council aware of that and to see if there was any desire to extend that right of refusal or to just let it go. I didn’t know what the council’s thoughts were on this.

I wanted the council to be aware that the five-year window is coming to a close here in June – that first right of refusal,” Waltz said.

Sealock asked for verification.

the right of refusal, whether we extend it or not. Is that the action?”

Waltz confirmed that was the action.

Councilman Eugene Tewalt asked if the council could extend the first right of refusal. Town Attorney Douglas Napier, replied that it would have to be a joint agreement with the current owner, Afton Inn LLC. Sealock then asked Waltz if the town had heard anything from the current owner. Waltz replied that the building was up for sale and was currently listed at $8,900,000 and that he had had no contact with the current owner whatsoever. He reiterated that the first right of refusal deadline for the town hall building

had showed up on his assistant’s planner and that is why he put it on the evening’s agenda.

Councilman Jacob Meza asked, “So if it lapses, we give up the right of first refusal?”

Napier confirmed that Meza was correct, clarifying that the town could still buy back the building, except it would no longer have the right to match the sales price.

Councilman Eugene Tewalt asked, “Are they still obligated to inform us when they sell it?

Napier replied yes.

“So that doesn’t run out. Just the five year first right of refusal?”

Again, Napier replied in the affirmative.

Tewalt continued, “Personally, I

don’t see any point of renewing it myself. Since the other issues are already there such as the roofing and the others,” he said.

Tewalt then asked if the historic signage had been installed on the old town hall building.

Waltz confirmed that the town had indeed put up the historic signage.

It was at this point that Sealock asked for additional recommendations.

Napier replied, “If you think that sales price is too expensive for the town, if the price drops to a range where we are willing to buy it, then it doesn’t matter if you have the first right of refusal or not, if the price drops to the range you want you

could put an offer on it anyway.”

The vice mayor then said that it doesn’t cost anything to ask for a renewal, and Napier informed the Vice Mayor and the council that the only cost would be the cost of a postage stamp.

Meza responded that keeping the first right of refusal would allow the council to maintain just a little bit more control over the sale of the old town hall building. He also reminded the council that even though they could not anticipate all the variables, the future sale of the building was the primary reason that the town council back in 2014 had that provision put in the agreement to keep that little bit of control.

He also stated that he would ask for an extension because it wouldn’t

hurt just to ask.

Napier agreed that it wouldn’t hurt to ask and council decided to send a letter to the current owner requesting an extension for the first right of refusal.

The question now is what the newly appointed Mayor, Matthew Tederick, has to say in regard to the status of both the old town hall building and the dilapidated Afton Inn. In 2014, Tederick was a vocal opponent of the switch. A few years later he stood before the council demanding to know why nothing had been done to the historic building and reminded the council at the time that the clock was ticking.

What he thinks of the mess we’re in now, only time will tell.

Former EDA executive director arrested on felony charges Jennifer McDonald is being held without bond at the Rappahannock, Shenandoah Warren Regional Jail

Jennifer McDonald, former Executive Director of the Warren County/Front Royal Economic Development Authority was arrested and is being held without bond in the RSW Regional Jail.

By Timothy Ratigan Warren/Frederick County Report Friday June 24, 2019 did not go as planned for the former executive director of the Front Royal/Warren County Economic Development Authority (EDA), Jennifer McDonald.

While the rest of the community was preparing for the upcoming holiday weekend, McDonald was watching her plans for an enjoyable Memorial Day disappear as she found herself faced with an arrest warrant and Virginia State Police.

By 7:20 p.m. McDonald was being processed at the RappahannockShenandoah-Warren Regional Jail (RSW). She had been arrested on four felony counts: two counts of fraud – obtaining money through false pretenses in excess of $200; and two counts of larceny – embezzlement in excess of $200.

The arrest warrants were issued by the Virginia State Police and the inmate information clerk at the RSW Jail verified by phone that McDonald was indeed being held at the facility without bond. A hearing is pending in the Warren County Circuit Court on Tuesday June 28th, 2019.

McDonald, along with other defendants, is named in the EDA civil lawsuit that is seeking the recovery of a minimum sum of $17,600,000 in alleged misappropriated and/or embezzled funds. A Special Grand Jury was empaneled to investigate any potential criminal activity that took place related to the EDA civil lawsuit. Already there have been three days of witness testimony related to the matter.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Virginia State Police were involved in an April 16th, 2019 search of EDA offices on Kendrick Lane.

Members of the press and residents witnessed the removal of a large number of boxes, and bags of material from the EDA offices. Items seized included a computer and cell phone that had been used by McDonald before her resignation on December 20th, 2018.

McDonald remained in the RSW Jail for all of the Memorial Day

weekend with the exception of an ambulance trip to Warren Memorial Hospital due to her complaining of chest pains on Sunday, May 24, just before 9:00 a.m. She remained as a patient at the hospital throughout the day and according to a hospital employee, McDonald was in a fair and stable condition.

On Tuesday afternoon, McDonald, dressed in the traditional orange RSW Regional Jail outfit, made an appearance at the Warren County Courthouse for a scheduled bond hearing.

Appearing on her behalf was recently retained Washington, D.C. criminal attorney Peter Greenspun.

Present on behalf of the Commonwealth was the Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Bryan Layton.

Greenspun pointed to McDonald’s lifelong ties to the community of Warren County and to her family ties that included her husband, mother and aunt who were all in attendance in the courtroom. Greenspun also pointed out her 20-year affiliation to the Warren County EDA which he used to indicate the pattern of her stability in her professional career and to the business community of Warren County and Front Royal.

McDonald’s attorney also pointed out that since McDonald’s departure from the EDA up to her arrest, McDonald had been working with Earth Right Energy, a local solar Please let power panel installation company.

Greenspun indicated that his cli-

ent would be willing to surrender her passport, and the last time McDonald had been out of the country was in 2015, when she and her husband took a vacation to the Bahamas.

Layton spoke about how much of a flight risk she possibly was and questioned just how deep her ties to the community really were now that she had criminal charges against her, which could easily cause her to flee.

Layton reminded the court that McDonald’s current employment was with one of the nine EDA civil defendants.

Justin Appleton and Donald Poe are the two principals named in the suit, and, according to the suit, allegedly worked with McDonald to defraud EDA assets through fraudulent financial arrangements. Poe and Appleton have both denied the charges.

In defense, Greenspun rebutted, “Mr. Layton’s pitch is ‘We don’t

think she’s the nice person she portrays herself to be.’” Greenspun also accused Layton of saying that McDonald was a black widow-type of person.

Judge Clifford Athey gave the prosecution 30 days to respond to the defense’s Request for Discovery. June 26th, 2019 is the deadline for filing that response. He also set July 15th as the hearing date for McDonald to enter her plea to the four charges filed by the Virginia State Police on May 24, 2019.

Athey prefaced his decision to deny bond by saying that he must look at the defendant in the entirety of her current situation.

He pointed to the $17,600,000 cited in the civil lawsuit, and remarked that even with access to 10 percent of that, it would be enough for a criminally accused individual to have incentive to flee the jurisdiction to escape prosecution.

By Ashley Miller Warren/Frederick County Report The sun broke through the clouds just as taps began to play at the Memorial Day Service at Good Hope Cemetery, where a large crowd gathered to pay their respects and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to this great nation.

The ceremony started with a few words from Minister Mark Lewis

of Greater Joy Baptist Church, followed by the congregation singing America, the Beautiful, led by Gwendolyn Wimberly of Front Royal.

Anthony Brown, also of Front Royal, read the following Bible quote, setting the tone and theme for the morning’s events, “All fallen soldiers go to heaven, watch ye, stand fast in faith, quit you like men, be strong.”

The crowd then sang another

congregational hymn, My Country Tis of Thee, and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

Then guest speaker Pastor Gregory Fowlkes, Sr., of Third Zion Baptist Church in Front Royal, stepped to the podium, where he shared his experience during his time in the Marine Corps, the call to serve and the importance of welcoming and helping veterans after they return home.

“Today we take time to memorialize the fallen soldiers, Christian soldiers, who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our great county.

“Today we raise our voices in honor of their voices,” Fowlkes said.

Fowlkes shared snippets of his own career in the Marines and how he heard the call from God to join the service right out of high school. Not everyone answers their call, Fowlkes said. But those that do are pulled to serve because God asked them to. He spoke about the trials of war and how helping veterans with mental or physical disabilities is important now more than ever.

“We wouldn’t have the freedoms that we have today without those sacrifices,” he said.

The ceremony included the reading of more than 50 names of deceased veterans buried at Good Hope Cemetery, followed by a moment of silence and Taps.

For over 60 years, Good Hope Cemetery has honored Memorial Day with a late morning service. Charles Barbour, president of Good Hope Cemetery, said the annual event dates back to when the American Legion hosted a Memorial Day parade throughout the streets of Front Royal that included marching bands and floats Randolph DeNeal of Front

BS

Royal, Good Hope Cemetery’s groundskeeper, said he remembered walking in the parade, from one side of town to the other.

Francis Graham of Front Royal said she also remembered walking in the parade as a girl scout, laughing and having fun with her friends. But as times changed, community members died, and families moved away, the celebration lessened.

“Back then it seemed like such a short walk because we were all so excited to participate,” she explained. “I don’t think I could do it today,” she said with a chuckle.

Good Hope Cemetery was founded after the end of the Civil War, during a time when African Americans were mostly buried at local churches. According to Barbour, three men started the cemetery when they saw a need in the community. Today over 80 veterans are buried on the property, with American flags marking the graves of the fallen.

But it’s possible that there are more fallen soldiers waiting to be unearthed.

Virginia Brown, of Front Royal, who recently joined the Good Hope Cemetery committee, said that they continue to find unmarked graves as they create new plots for families.

“We continue to learn more about the cemetery as each day passes,” she said. “Maintaining records has its difficulties, especially when it dates backs generations.”

Brown, along with committee members, is in the process of putting together the cemetery’s history, something she said she doesn’t believe has ever been done before.

“Good Hope has a story to tell,”

she said. “And we want to be able to tell it. And share it with the community.”

Brown said the committee is currently sorting through decades of paperwork and photos to create the cemetery’s history.

A reception followed the service where guests shared stories and discussed the importance of Monday’s holiday.

“It’s a somber day for us all,” said Suetta Freeman, of Front Royal.

“Today we honor our heroes. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have the freedoms that we have today.”

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting memorials or cemeteries, hosting family gatherings or participating in parades.

By the late 1860s, Americans across the nation had begun holding ceremonies to pay tribute to the lives lost during the Civil War by decorating their graves with flowers. Historians are unclear as to where these traditions originated, but they have continued to the present day.

“Today we should stop and think about the sacrifices men and women have given to make our world a safer place,” Brown said. “Memorial Day is the day we remember what it means to be a hero. Today we remember the ones that we’ve lost, but not forgotten.”

Fowlkes ended his remarks with one final thought, “Honor those that have fallen on Memorial Day. Thank those currently serving any other day of the year. But take time and honor those that have fallen on Memorial Day specifically.”

County Chairman Dan Murray won’t run for third term New EDA director gives his first month’s report at board meeting

Warren County’s Supervisors listen intently to the new EDA Director Doug Parsons’ first official report at the June 4th morning meeting.

The newly appointed executive director of the Front Royal/Warren County Economic Development Authority, Doug Parsons, delivers his first official report to the Warren County Board of Supervisors.

By Timothy Ratigan Warren/Frederick County Report During the reports from the June 4th Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting, those in attendance

heard from North River Supervisor and Chairman Daniel Murray that he would not be seeking a third term.

Murray has served on the Warren County Board of Supervisors since January of 2012. During that time, he served as chairman of the board twice. Murray had been battling heart related issues and recently returned to the board to assume his duties after a surgical procedure.

But at the meeting he made an emotional announcement to the board and members of the press.

During his two terms, the board was made up of mostly Republican members, Murray included. The only non-Republican was South River Supervisor Linda Glavis who announced late last year that she would also not be seeking another term.

North River Supervisor and Board Chairman Daniel Murray announced at the June 4 Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting that he will not be seeking a third term due to health issues.

Murray’s time on the board saw Supervisors vote for and pass six consecutive tax increases.

For the most part, grumblings from the residents of Warren County were pretty muted during five of those increases, but this year’s increase would be vastly different, testing the mettle of every one of the board members.

The issue that lit the fuse of residents’ discontent began when the board decided to revisit the rules of the public comment period of the meeting in order to retain some measure of control over the amount of time that people could speak.

Their aim was to limit the amount of time one could speak or limit the number of times a resident could speak on any one subject. But the plan backfired in a major way by igniting a major battle for free speech rights, the likes of which Warren County hasn’t

experienced in recent years.

Relations between the supervisors and county officials only worsened after that. By this time the Front Royal Warren County Economic Development Authority’s (EDA) $17,600,000 scandal had erupted and the board found themselves at dead center of public outrage.

It didn’t calm things down when the board voted to finance the major part of the investigation into the financial dealings of the EDA and its former Executive Director, Jennifer McDonald, and worsened when county staff asked the Board to consider raising taxes again for a sixth consecutive year.

A split came about between those who supported the tax increase in the name of teacher’s salaries and those who wanted to hold the line on spending and were solidly against any form

of tax increase, and Chairman Murray found himself up against a battle that had rarely played out during his tenure.

Several times during the two public hearings regarding the proposed fiscal year 2019/20 budget Murray found it difficult to maintain control of the meetings as residents rebelled against the rules and guidelines that govern public hearings.

Outcries of, “NO!” rang out in response to Murray’s efforts to maintain decorum. One attorney/activist demanded that supervisors vote to suspend the rules.

When all was said and done, the county got their tax increase and the crowds dispersed, but not before demands for the resignation of the county administrator, county attorney and the entire board of supervisors were heard.

One resident and activist let Murray know that she could not allow him to run unopposed and would be throwing her hat into the ring.

It was during the June 4th, meeting that Murray delivered his news.

“In life we make hard decisions.

Sometimes they can get emotional.

With the advice from the heart surgeon and from family this past weekend I won’t be running for a third term. I will be finishing my duties at the end of December because of my heart issues. I apologize to the public that I will not be carrying through on a third term. I’ve never walked away from a fight or a battle in my life. I’ve been carried away from some, but I

have never walked away from any. In my heart I am somewhat abandoning people here and it is very hard for me to do,” he said.

Also during the June 4th meeting, supervisors and county residents had the opportunity to hear a report from the executive director of the EDA. However, this time it would be a different name and different voice who would rise to speak on EDA business.

Doug Parsons is the newly appoint-

ed executive director of the EDA and is just finishing up his first four weeks on the job. He was at the meeting to deliver his first official report.

“My colleague Gretchen Henderson and I have been working very hard during this first few weeks to get our feet under us in this organization and get an understanding of the internal operation, the finances and the properties we have and the challenges we have going forward before us.

“I just want to take some time to thank (Warren County Attorney) Dan and (County Administrator) Doug, for their help in getting me acclimated and their understanding. The first thing we really concentrated on was financial management. Giving us an understanding on our revenue and our debt, our capital projects, our accounts receivables and payables. We are feeling a lot better about our current day to day operations,” he began.

“We’ve also beefed up our network security with our computer systems and so forth. We’ve also taken a lot of time going through files and understanding the data that we have regarding our sites and buildings and the data we have on our economic work.

We’ve spent a great deal of time analyzing the properties we have, and we are also looking at the properties that we are losing money on,” he reported.

He added that they are also looking at properties that they might want to sell and that when they meet with the board of directors, they may be taking some actions in that regard.

Parsons moved on to discuss other prospects they are looking at and reported that the local EDA is working with the State EDA on some prospects that are looking at locations around the state and the country and the WCEDA is hoping to attract some of those opportunities.

He also reported that a law firm has expressed interest in moving into town, and that he has been working with Front Royal’s Community and Tourism Director Felicia Hart, with the hope of cooperating on development issues.

“We’ve made some introductions with Felicia and a client to see if we can work together to see if we can convince them to locate in Front Royal,” he said.

Parsons also talked about something that didn’t pan out for Warren County or the EDA. A Wine Tasting Analytical Company had planned on signing a lease for office space in the EDA building on Kendrick Avenue, but that project has since been put on hold.

Parsons closed his report by saying that the EDA will be working on the issue of retention of existing businesses in Front Royal and Warren County, then asked the supervisors if there were any questions.

The only board member with ques-

tions was Shenandoah District Supervisor and Vice Chairman Thomas Sayre.

He asked a question about the status of the renovation project on the old Afton Inn. Parson replied by saying that he had met with the developers and that they are working through some issues and he would like to get them paid for the work that they have already completed. But he said he needed to do research first on how to do that and also to look for ways to fund future work “We are going to review the contract that we have with them and I want to make sure that we are doing things by the book before we do anything. So, I have a little bit more research to do,” he responded.

Sayre pressed on by asking if the Afton Inn Project was something that would be going forward.

“That is certainly the goal. We need to be careful. The amount of money we’ve spent on this project already is substantial. We need to make sure that anything I am doing is within the law,” Parsons replied.

Quarantine for Spotted Lanternfly goes into effect Page 16 • Warren/Frederick County Report • Mid June, 2019

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) announced May 28, 2019 the establishment of the Spotted Lanternfly Quarantine for Frederick County and the city of Winchester, effective immediately. The purpose of the quarantine is to slow the spread of the spotted lanternfly to uninfested areas of the Commonwealth.

Spotted Lanternfly feeds on more than 70 plant species, including grapes, apples, stone fruits, hops and Ailanthus altissima (Tree of Heaven), which is its preferred host. It poses a threat to Virginia’s peach, apple, grape and wine industries. Spotted Lanternfly can also be a nuisance pest to homeowners when numbers are high.

The Spotted Lanternfly was first detected in Winchester in January 2018. Subsequent surveys conducted by VDACS indicate that the pest has become established in the city of Winchester and spread into Frederick Coun-

ty, just north of Winchester. Prior to the January 2018 detection in Virginia, the only Spotted Lanternfly (SLF) found in the U.S. was in Pennsylvania. Populations are now established in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and northern Virginia.

To ensure the Spotted Lanternfly is not being moved out of the quarantined area, the quarantine requires businesses to obtain a permit from VDACS and inspect those articles that are considered a risk for movement of SLF to conduct an inspection and complete an inspection statement when moving out of the quarantined area. Articles considered to be at risk (regulated articles) include plants, lumber, firewood, industrial or construction materials and equipment, stone, shipping containers (for example, wood crates or boxes), outdoor household articles (examples: grills, mowers and outdoor furniture), recreational vehicles and any means of conveyance. Vir-

ginia’s Spotted Lanternfly permit and inspection statement will meet the requirements of SLF quarantines in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New York.

VDACS will grant a 30-day grace period to provide businesses and individuals time to comply with requirements of Virginia’s quarantine but encourages businesses to start conducting inspections immediately and obtain their permits as soon as possible.

To obtain a Spotted Lanternfly permit, businesses must complete the SLF training and submit their training credential and completed SLF Permit Application to spottedlanternfly@vdacs.virginia.gov. More information on Spotted Lanternfly in Virginia, including SLF training, permit application and inspection statement is at vdacs.virginia.gov/plantindustry-services.shtml. Landowners may also contact their local extension office at ext. vt.edu/offices.html

Possible Spotted Lanternfly Immature Look-alikes in Virginia

Immature spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (White), are black with white spots when young. They turn red and black with white spots when older. A few other insects in Virginia have similar color patterns, but a close look will show that immature spotted lanternflies are easily recognizable. Sizes not to scale.

Possible Spotted Lanternfly Egg Mass Look-alikes in Virginia

Egg masses of the spotted lantern fly, Lycorma delicatula (White), are usually covered with a smooth tan to gray colored coating when fresh. This coating may crack and fall off with age, exposing eggs laid in vertical rows underneath. Some egg masses are laid with only some or no covering at all. Here are a few other insect egg masses found in Virginia to help you recognize those of the spotted lantern fly. Sizes not to scale.

Possible Spotted Lanternfly Adult Look-alikes in Virginia

The adult spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (White), has a very distinctive appearance with black spots and bars on the upper wings and red, black, and white on the hindwings.

Adults measure about 1” long and 0.5” wide. A few other insects in Virginia have similar color patterns, but a close look will show that spotted lanternfly is easily recognizable. Sizes not to scale. Upper left photo: Eric Day. All others: Bugwood.org

Process to reinstate suspended driver’s licenses begins July 1 as Virginia stops suspensions solely for failure to pay court fines, costs Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles preparing to send letters to eligible Virginians with specific instructions to obtain driver’s licenses Governor Ralph Northam announced June 3, 2019 that the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is preparing to send letters to Virginians whose driving privileges are suspended for failure to pay court fines and costs to advise them of any specific requirements for obtaining their driver’s licenses. Governor Northam’s budget includes a provision that prohibits courts from suspending driving privileges solely for failure to pay court fines and costs, effective July 1, 2019.

Also beginning July 1, any Vir-

ginian whose driver’s license has been suspended for that single reason will have his or her driving privileges restored, and the associated reinstatement fee waived.

“Earlier this year, I was proud to sign legislation to ending the counterproductive practice of suspending driving privileges for failure to pay court fines and costs,” said Governor Northam. “I appreciate the hard work taking place at the DMV now to ensure that starting July 1, hundreds of thousands of impacted Virginians will be able to move their lives forward.”

The change only affects a person’s ability to get his or her driver’s license. It does not eliminate the requirement to pay the underlying court costs and fines. Additionally, Virginians whose driving privileges are suspended or revoked for other reasons, in addition to failure to pay court fines and costs, will need to meet any other court or DMV requirements to include payment of reinstatement fees to regain their driving privileges.

“DMV is sending letters to more

than half a million Virginians whose lives could be transformed by giving them access to jobs, education, healthcare, and opportunity––once again,” said Secretary of Transportation Shannon Valentine.

“It is long overdue that Virginia end its inequitable practice of suspending driving privileges for failure to pay court fines and costs,” said Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Brian Moran.

“This is a significant step in the right direction toward getting Virginians back to work and enabling them to support their families.”

DMV advises its offices will be extremely busy in the summer months. To avoid longer than normal waits, customers are encouraged to use alternative services such as the website, dmvNOW. com, mail, and DMV Selects locations for routine services.

“Virginians who still have their physical unexpired license and have proof of legal presence on file with DMV will be reinstated July 1 and can go about driving without coming to DMV for a new See BRIEFS, 20

Spottswood Poles Night on June 14 In honor of Winchester native, WWI veteran and baseball legend Spottswood Poles, a historical marker will be unveiled and dedicated on Friday, June 14 at 6 pm. The location of the marker is in Jim Barnett Park near the baseball fields and central concession stand (to the left of Bridgeforth Field). Following the dedication, Spottswood will be honored during Spottswood Poles Night at the Winchester Royals baseball game (7 pm in Bridgeforth Field in Jim Barnett Park). The community is invited to participate in the dedication ceremony at 6 pm, meet some of Spottswood’s family (including his nephew Reid Poles), and attend the Royals game to enjoy the sport he loved so much.

Spottswood was also honored in May when an unnamed road in Jim Barnett Park was named Spottswood Poles Drive. The road leads from Bridgeforth Drive to the parking lot near Bridgeforth Field and other baseball fields.

About Spottswood Poles Spottswood was born in Winchester (530 Fremont Street) in 1887. Spottswood began his Negro League baseball career in 1906 as an outfielder with the Harrisburg Giants in Harrisburg, PA, but his first spotlight team was when he moved up to play for the Philadelphia Giants in 1909.

In 21 games against Major League pitchers, Spottswood collected 34

hits in 84 at bats for a .405 batting average. During World War I, Spottswood served with the 93rd Division of the 369th Infantry of the U.S. Army (also known as the “Harlem Hell Fighters”). Poles achieved the rank of sergeant during his military career, while also earning five battle stars and a Purple Heart while fighting in France.

During a four-year period from 1911-1914, Spottswood was the most dominant hitter in the Negro League. He batted .330, .398, .363 and .429 for the four seasons.

Spottswood retired from his baseball playing career in 1923 with a total of 162 stolen bases and a career batting average of .328. Baseball researcher, Fred Brillhart is quoted saying in the Winchester Star newspaper in 1997: “If you took one part Tony Gwynn (the San Diego Padres multiple batting champion), one part Kenny Lofton (center fielder for the Atlanta Braves), and one part Kirby Puckett, and mixed them together, you’d get Spottswood Poles.”

After retirement, Poles spent time in Winchester to start his Taxi service with five cars. After a few years, he took his service to Harlem New York. Later, Spottswood was a manager for the integrated semipro team called the Harrisburg Giants, where he managed his nephew Reid Poles. In the early 1950s, during a tie game, Spott-

swood inserted himself into the game as a pinch hitter and drove in the game-winning run with a single to right field. Spottswood was in his 60s at the time. On September 12, 1962, Spottswood died of bladder cancer at age 75 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

They are not heroism awards, but rather recognize preparedness, teamwork, and a job well done, sometimes under extreme conditions, where training is vital to the success of rescue missions, as well as the safety of rescue personnel. Firefighter Lewis also received the Higgins and Langley Incident Response Award in 1997 for a water rescue on the Potomac River.

Fire Chief Richard E. Mabie, stated “It is a tremendous privilege to see the many years of hard work and dedication Firefighter Lewis provided, not only our community, but the national and international swiftwater and floor rescue response communities honored.”

Flooding is the leading cause of weather related death worldwide.

Rabid Fox in Shenandoah County The Lord Fairfax Health District is notifying the public that on June 2, 2019, in the vicinity of South Middle Road in southwestern Shenandoah County, an illappearing fox tested positive for rabies. “At this time, we are not aware of any contact between this fox and any people or animals, however should any person or domestic animal have come in contact with a fox in that area, at any time in the last two weeks, they should receive a medical evaluation immediately,” said Lord Fairfax Health District Director Dr. Colin Greene. “In reality, any contact with a fox is dangerous, but this one is especially so.”

Rabid Red Fox in Shenandoah County The Lord Fairfax Health District is notifying the public of a rabid red fox found in the 200 block of Solomon’s Church Road in Quicksburg on May 27. The fox was sent for rabies testing and

fered in July at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton. The training is open to anyone interested in learning about the development of agricultural nutrient management plans or how to become a certified plan writer.

The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation will conduct the training.

The first session, July 9-10, is a lecture series by Virginia Tech professors on soil science, soil fertility and crop production. The second session, July 15-17, will cover nutrient management plan writing using a case-study farm.

Both sessions run from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. each day. Registration is $130 for each session. After June 25, the fee will increase to $150 per session.

A college degree is not required to become a certified nutrient management planner.

“This training school may be of interest to people in a variety of fields or even to those who are looking for a new career,” said David Kindig, DCR’s nutrient management certification and training coordinator. “Knowledge of nutrient management planning would be beneficial to anyone looking to work in the agricultural industry.”

Increasing the number of people who are certified to write nutrient management plans is a goal in Virginia’s draft Phase III Watershed Implementation Plan, the blueprint to achieve nutrient and sediment reductions needed to restore the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries. The plan is scheduled to be completed this summer.

Nutrient management continues to be an important component in a farmer’s decision-making process when considering application of materials to supply nutrients

to crops. Nutrient management plans outline efficient methods for applying manure, fertilizers, biosolids and other soil amendments so that crop yields are maximized and ground and surface waters are protected from contamination by excess nutrients.

Because a plan considers the source, placement, rate and timing of nutrient materials, the farmer may be able to reduce input costs, thus saving money.

Farmers need plans to participate in most of the Virginia agricultural cost-share practices and to be in compliance with permit requirements for large animal operations.

More information about nutrient management training and certification is available at www. dcr.virginia.gov/soil-and-water/ nmtrain.

To register, contact Susan Jones at 804-443-3803 or susan.jones@ dcr.virginia.gov For details about the training, contact David Kindig at 804-3718095 or david.kindig@dcr.virginia.gov

CFC, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with cooperative people all over the country,” Farmer said.

“Learning from them - whether it’s from a regulatory perspective or a legislative perspective or even an operational perspective. Having an opportunity to share information with cooperative leaders from across the country provides us a tremendous benefit.”

Formed in 1969 as a bank for cooperative utilities, CFC is a nonprofit with approximately $27 billion in assets. It provides unparalleled industry expertise, flexibility and responsiveness to serve the needs of its memberowners. Through CFC, financing is provided to member organizations and affiliates in 49 states, the District of Columbia and two U.S. territories.

The expertise at CFC helps REC make more efficient decisions, Farmer said.

“Programs that CFC sponsors give REC an opportunity to listen to other cooperatives across the country,” he said. “All of that just pays dividends to our memberowners We all have the best interests of our member-owners and our communities that we live in first and foremost in what we are trying to improve. It’s a win‑win

for both organizations and I could not be more proud to be affiliated with both.”

REC provides electric service to over 169,000 connections in parts of 22 Virginia counties. With its general office in Fredericksburg, Va., the Cooperative operates and maintains more than 17,000 miles of power lines through its service area, which ranges from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay.

Chester Gap, Va LICENSED & INSURED Hey Stewart, How do I know when to prune my trees?

– Kurt

Ask Stewart

In general: 1. Trees that have just leafed out in spring could be weakened by pruning too early.

2. Pruning for structure and form is best left until after the leaves fall.

3. Remove dead wood in the summer when leafless branches are easily spotted.

4. Major pruning should not be initiated during “maple sugar time”

5. Beetles that infect oak trees are active from late spring through midsummer. If oak wilt is present in your region, do not prune your oaks during this period.

6. Pruning for clearance should be done when branches are sagging to their lowest point.

The VA TECH chart at bit.ly/TechPrune is excellent. The chart tells you the best months to prune; when not to prune except to correct damage, hazards, or structural defects; and when timing is not critical.

How to prune is just as important.

Don’t cut too close to the trunk.

Flush cuts are too large and delay the sealing of the wound. Also, don’t

cut too far from the trunk, leaving an ugly stub which can give insects an entry point. The wound cannot seal until the stub is removed. Make the cut just outside the branch collar (the swollen area where the branch meets the trunk). The branch collar contains chemicals that speed the formation of callus tissue that seals the wound.

If you would like to learn the proper skills and tools for pruning be sure to sign up at our website for the All About Trees class.

Your Pal in the Trees,

Five finalists were selected who then participated in a rigorous interview process involving representatives of the community, local and regional fire and rescue professionals including representatives from the city’s four volunteer companies, management experts from other localities, and members of the City’s leadership team. Mr. Garrett is a 30-year veteran of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, most recently serving as the Deputy Fire Chief.

“William is a knowledgeable,

personable and experienced public servant who has prepared himself to head a combination fire and rescue department like Winchester’s,” stated Ms. Freeman. “I have found him to be an excellent communicator and someone who seeks to find collaborative and innovative solutions to challenges. I am excited to welcome him to the team.”

Mr. Garrett’s extensive experience covers the ranks of the fire and rescue profession. He began his career as a volunteer firefighter at the Franconia Fire Station in Fairfax and was later hired as a career firefighter with Fairfax County. During his time

with the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, Mr. Garrett has held various key positions as a Paramedic, Equal Employment Opportunity Counselor, Chief EMS Officer, Arson Investigator, and Operations Deputy Fire Chief. In addition, he initiated key programs such as Citizens HandsOnly CPR, Mobile Integrated Healthcare, In-House Paramedic Training, and In-house EMTBasic Continuing Education Units Training.

Mr. Garrett was sworn in as the City of Winchester Fire and Rescue Chief on June 3 (starting salary: $110,000).

The Winchester Fire and Res-

cue Department is a combination system (volunteer and career personnel) and has 73 employees, 70 of which are career firefighter/ EMTs or Paramedics.

Engle’s Angle: “What is Today?”

By Kevin S. Engle Do you know what today is?

It’s May 28th.

National Hamburger Day. Did you eat a hamburger on National Hamburger Day? I didn’t.

I had pizza. Cheese pizza.

National Pizza Day was back on February 9th.

National Cheese Pizza Day isn’t until September 5th.

Every day of the year is National Something Day. I was born on World Oceans Day. June 8th.

I didn’t realize oceans had their own day but I guess they are important. They’re home to all those tasty fish we like to eat and marine plants generate most of our oxygen.

Yeah, I guess they deserve a day.

I was never big on going to the ocean. I’d be just as happy if June 8th was Swim in a Pool Day. If I’d arrived a little earlier, the first Friday in June isn’t all that bad. That’s National Donut Day. I like donuts.

A lot.

And you can often get a free one to celebrate.

And guess what?

National Donut Day is so important there’s two of them.

It makes a repeat performance on November 5th as well.

Why two days?

I don’t know, but enjoy it.

I would’ve been ok with August 13th as well. That’s National Left Handers Day. I’m partial to that one for some reason.

Thank goodness I didn’t arrive on April 20th. National Lima Bean Respect Day. I have no respect for lima beans and never will.

August 4th is a good one.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.

Who doesn’t love a warm chocolate chip cookie?

A good friend of mine isn’t big on chocolate anything.

Personally, I think that’s unAmerican.

My nephew’s birthday was a few weeks ago.

He said the family all had ice cream cake for breakfast. You’re not supposed to do that, unless you were born on February 4th.

My wife’s birthday is coming soon. July 3rd. I won’t tell you what year. She wouldn’t like that.

She was born on National Stay Out of the Sun Day. I’ll ask my dermatologist if he helped pick that one.

I’m glad I missed the last Friday in April and June 28th.

National Hairball Day and Insurance Awareness Day. You can Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work on the 4th Thursday in April. Or Take Your To Cat to Work on June 17th.

And your pooch can join you on the Friday after Father’s Day. But what if you have a pig?

There’s no day for that.

Another nephew just got some baby pigs. What’s he supposed to do?

His wife has two horses. She could ride her horse to work if there was a day for it.

One day that doesn’t get enough attention is the 4th Sunday in October. National Mother-in-Law’s day. Personally, I think it should be earlier in the year. I know how much my mother-in-law means to me and I’d rather not wait until October to celebrate this special lady.

How about February 30th?

Someone told the author he should have been born on October 15th. National Grouch Day. He told them where to go.
