phy was highlighted this summer at Randolph-Macon Academy when computer science instructor Stephanie Wagner approached World Religions teacher Michael Williams with the idea of doing an engineering project for his class.

To Michael, the idea sounded perfect. He uses a “jigsaw” approach to teaching, in which the students each take a section, learn about it in-depth, and teach it to their peers. This project would take that to a different level, as the students would be creating a technological piece of art that would be suitable for display.

After going through several sketches of how they might create a visual representation of each major religion and how they connect together, student Alan Williams (a rising senior at the Academy) created an engineering sample built out of small cogs used in the robotics program.

With a visual sample to go off of, Michael was able to make his assignments.

Each student was responsible for designing a cog for two ma-

jor religions, as well as a third cog that represented a commonality between the two. Buddhism and Hinduism, for example, are joined by a cog representing peace, while Christianity and Judaism are joined by one that tells of Moses.

Smaller religions, such as Wicca, are presented by decorative pieces.

The students used a combination of Adobe Illustrator and hand-drawn artwork to design the cogs and decorative pieces. A laser cutter burned the designs into a wood piece and cut them out.

The cog pieces, as well as decorative pieces were screwed onto a wooden backboard. In the center of it all is a larger cog that lists the names of the four students, and also holds an iris and a crank.

Upon turning the crank, all the cogs on the board move in unity.

“We spend so much time talking about what we don’t have in common,” said Michael, “that part of the goal we had this summer is to find out what we do have in common. All we hear about what is on this board is what’s wrong with it all. We got to look at what is right. We live in a multicultural country, and one of the things this shows us is that if one of the pieces were to break down, the entire thing would cease to function. For them to see that we all need one another to make this world work, for me was pretty incredible.”

The students were enamored with the project and put in far more hours than the class had required, often staying late in the evenings to work on it. Student Grace Wagner (also a rising senior at R-MA) estimated that the cogs each took two hours to cut out, while her mother, Stephanie Wagner, estimated that from concept to completion, each cog represented closer to about twelve

hours of work. Because the work included everything from art and graphic design to engineering and math, the students assisted each other and ended up learning about the religions as they were doing so.

“When students are doing and creating, they learn more,” said Stephanie. “This entire creation didn’t exist two weeks ago. These students will always remember making it, and they are much more likely to remember what

they learned in doing so--not just about the different religions, but about the mathematics and engineering and the computer design work as well. This is what the world requires of our students.

When you go to work, you don’t only use one skill. You need many, and you need to understand how to use them all at the same time when you’re approaching a challenge. The way we teach our students needs to reflect that.”

Front Royal celebrates Dr. Joseph Warren’s birthday Early August, 2019 • Warren/Frederick County Report • Page 5

Commemorative plaques were given to the Warren Heritage Society, nine county schools, and Samuel’s Public Library

This is one of the Dr. Joseph Warren Commemorative Plaques that were given to the Warren Heritage Society, nine county schools, and Samuel’s Public Library.

By Carol Ballard Warren/Frederick County Report Local resident, the Rt. Reverend Larry Johnson, former teacher, educator, administrator, and Anglican clergyman who also goes by the name “Old Liberty Man,” and visits schools, churches and other meetings telling the history of events and heroes of the American Revolutionary War, has completed a mission he began several years ago, to install commemorative plaques in local schools, and other county sites honoring Dr. Joseph Warren, the Revolutionary War hero our county is named af-

ter.

“All schools have their plaques installed and dedicated. Kids and teachers who participated were wonderful. Nine schools with 5,000 students can now say they are knowledgeable of this wonderful founding father for whom their county is named. Old Liberty Man can rest a little easier now...torch is being passed,” Johnson said.

On the 11th of June, at 9 a.m., he and his friends in the Sons of the American Revolution lowered the county flag at the Warren County Administration Building to half-mast in honor of Dr. War-

ren’s birthday who was born on that day in 1741.

The group also gave and dedicated a Joseph Warren plaque to the Warren Heritage Society Museum at their location on Chester Street. The Society’s board accepted the plaque. Dr. Chris Sheap of Dayton, Va., representing the Knight-Patty Fund who funded the project for the Sons of the American Revolution Col. James Wood II Chapter was in attendance.

Several Colonial-attired folks attended, including Larry Johnson.

Signs honoring Dr. Joseph War-

ren were displayed in support of his birthday on Commerce Street.

Fussell Florist and Southern States honored the martyr for American Independence.

“Great community support from these folks!” said Johnson.

“Hundreds of students were involved in the process of receiving the commemorative plaques.”

Johnson mentioned that Jaxson Wooddell, a fourth-grade student at Rhodes Elementary School won the essay contest on Dr. Warren at his school.

“All these things are firsts for our county. All county flags were at half-mast until the 17th. This

is the date of his death at Bunker Hill. I am humbled this is occurring...perhaps a great tradition has been started in our county,” said Johnson.

A bit of history is offered here for those who don’t know the story of Dr. Joseph Warren.

He was an American Revolutionary hero and patriot who was the inspiration for our county’s name. He died in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, and his patriotism and efforts to rebel against the tyranny of King George III of England and his administrators here, helped to bring about the War for Independence.

His story shows that he was an American physician who led several patriot organizations in Boston early in the Revolution but did so much more than that.

On April 18, 1775, he was the man who sent Paul Revere and William Dawes to spread the alarm that the British garrison in Boston was on their way to raid the town of Concord and arrest his fellow rebel leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams. He participated the next day in the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

Both battles are considered to be the opening engagements of that war.

HISTORY, from 5

besides being a rebel and fomenting against British government, put his life on the line in service before and during the battle.

He was so dedicated to the cause of liberty that he told his mother in the weeks before the battle, “Where danger is, dear mother, there must your son be.

Now is no time for any of American’s children to shrink from any hazard. I will set her free or die.

And when the British taunted that the patriots wouldn’t fight, he declared, “I hope I shall die up to my knees in blood!”

Warren had been commissioned a Major General in the militia shortly before the Battle of Bunker Hill, but fought in the battle as a private soldier. When he showed up to fight he asked Gen. Israel Putnam where the heaviest fighting would be.

According to historians, “During the battle he fought behind the earthworks until the patriots exhausted their ammunition. He stayed there to give the militia time to escape while the British

So far, Warren has been memorialized in the naming of towns, counties and other locations, especially on the east coast, by statues, and a number of other ways, with 14 places named for him.

passionate eloquence of Thomas Jefferson with the leadership abilities of George Washington the American Revolution might have never even gotten started.”

British general Thomas Gage declared that the life of Joseph Warren was equal to 500 ordinary colonials. Contemporaries said if he had survived the Revolution the name of Washington might have been obscured. It was Warren who united the First Continental Congress. It was Joseph Warren who acted as commander and chief to the army of rag-tag provincial soldiers until an official appointment was made.

He was also instrumental in arranging the Boston Tea Party and for years before the war began, he was the face of American liberty, the man others like Samuel Adams and his better-known cousin John, Paul Revere, and John Hancock turned to for direction. One could argue Joseph Warren was the true leader of the American Revolution. In his role as physician he rubbed elbows and indeed was friends with both sides of the conflict and was respected by all. Because of Joseph Warren, Boston survived a s smallpox epidemic.

Besides being an advocate for Joseph Warren, Johnson enjoys dressing in the same attire that his great, great, great, great grandfather Abel Johnston who he calls “Liberty Man” did when he was stationed with Revolutionary War Generals Nathaniel Greene and Daniel Morgan. Morgan was from Winchester, Va. – carol@areaguides.com

Interim Mayor Matthew Tederick (center) reports to the Front Royal Town Council on the liaison meeting held with the Warren County Board of Supervisors and reiterated his position that he will not run for mayor to fill out the remainder of former Mayor Hollis Tharpe’s term.

“I have a few items to discuss and one being an update on the

town and county liaison meeting held recently,” he began.

“It was my first and Councilman Gary Gillispie attended as well. In general, I think it was a productive meeting. Perhaps it was a little more contentious than meetings I have been to in the past. I think that is healthy.

Mr. Murray (Chairman Dan Murray of the Warren County Board of Supervisors) and Mr. Gillispie and I had a good rounded discussion about various issues. One particular topic I brought up was the possibility of dissolving the EDA (Economic Development Authority).

“Once again, I want to go on record that I am not in any position to say today that the EDA absolutely should be dissolved. I don’t believe we have enough in-

formation on it. We don’t have any idea what the impacts are and the timetable, but I do believe we need to have that discussion.

Fortunately, Mr. Murray got to the point where he agreed that a discussion was warranted. We agreed in principle to have a joint meeting between the town and

legal research. In general, it was a good liaison meeting,” Tederick concluded.

Tederick then brought up the prospect of appointing a citizen’s committee at the liaison meeting regarding the EDA scandal.

“To investigate what we as governments, both county government, EDA and the town council did, I had a discussion with Mr. Murray about forming this committee and I think it was fairly well received. Now the exact nuances of that are to be determined. I think that we can discuss that at our joint meeting.

“In concept, for me personally, I have the ability as mayor to appoint an ad hoc committee, but I prefer to get your input as councilmen as far as individuals that you think would be good to serve on a committee such as this. I have no idea whether there will five or seven individuals. If I had a preference today, I would say five people. The town council could select two, and Board of Supervisors select two, and the four of them select one. I would ask you to think about that. If you are so inclined to have citizens that you believe will serve in an impartial manner, that will be willing to roll their sleeves up and identify the failings and the solutions, please send me those names. I do not plan on making those names public because I think it is important that the citizens be allowed to be asked to volunteer. So please know that if you send me any names, I will hold them in confidence. Also be thinking of what the mission of such a commission would be. I know at the joint meeting we would probably need to flush some of that out. So, we are at the very preliminary stage of that. But I did want to bring council up to speed on those two matters,” Tederick continued.

Tederick then addressed the question of him running for Mayor, “There have been many citizens who have contacted me about running for mayor. I am honored, I am privileged to be able to serve as your interim mayor and I plan to work closely with you and continue to get a lot of work done. I made a statement to some of you that I had no intention of running for mayor and my word is my bond and I do not intend to run for mayor. I have other business that is going to take me away for several months next year and it wouldn’t be fair to the citizens. I will not rule it out for the future, but I did want to make a public statement for tonight that I will not be seeking that office.”

That concluded the interim mayor’s report and the council moved on to pass a number of agenda items.

First the council was requested to approve a bid from Stuart M. Perry, Inc. for various grades of asphalt for general street patching and surfacing of the streets in the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) maintenance system for fiscal year 2020.

Shenandoah National Park Superintendent updates town Jennifer Flynn tells council running park sometimes similar to operating small town

The large sign at the entrance of Skyline Drive/Shenandoah National Park stands ready to welcome over a million visitors. (Photo by Pam Ratigan.)

By Timothy Ratigan Warren/Frederick County Report During the July 22nd Front Royal Town Council meeting, the Shenandoah National Park Superintendent, Jennifer Flynn, spoke to council members on the state of the park and what it takes to operate the park.

Flynn compared running the park to operating a small town.

The park is almost 200,000 acres and 40 percent of that park space is congressional designated wilderness, which is the highest level of protection that federal land can have. She said the park is home to over 1,406 species of plants and 53 species of animals.

The history of the park tells many stories about the culture and life of mountain residents who resided there; the presidential retreat that was once there; the issues of segregation and desegregation; and work of the Civil-

ian Conservation Corps.

The park operates four wastewater treatment plants and 14 public water systems. It has over 500 miles of trails and runs a number of lodges, campgrounds, and restaurants; including those along Front Royal’s own Skyline Drive.

The park staff handles all this with a $24,000,000 budget. They receive about $12,000,000 annually from Congress, though that number has been known to fluctuate from year to year. Recreational fees charged to the visitors of the park, as well as 80 percent of the money collected at the campgrounds and entrance stations, remain in the park itself and are used at the discretion of the park.

The money collected from visitors equates to about $8,000,000 of park spending. The park receives donations from the public and collects funds from concessions as well. The remainder of the park’s

budget comes from federal highways and other sources.

Flynn reported that approximately 280 employees perform all the work required in the park, which is the peak number of employees due to the park’s popularity during the summer. During the winter months, employment drops to about 160 employees.

The park has a lot of partners, but a total of four formal partners.

One of the park’s philanthropic

Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Jennifer Flynn gives the Front Royal Town Council a “State of the Park” report.

partners, The Shenandoah National Association, is based in Charlottesville, VA. This year they granted the park over $450,000 for specific projects.

The park’s bookstores operate strictly as an education partner.

They assist at the Dickey Ridge Visitor Center.

Another partner is the Appalachian Trail Club, which assists in taking care of 300 miles of trails.

The last partner Flynn mentioned was the Delaware North

Corporation who handles the park’s concessions at the lodges and restaurants. They are in their sixth year of a 10-year contract.

Flynn mentioned the government shutdown and how it affected the park.

“The Shenandoah Park is doing pretty well, but the government shutdown was impactful to the park. The shutdown from December 22nd, 2018 to January 25th, 2019 was the longest in U.S. history. But it came during a pe-

riod of low visitation for the park.

We missed crucial planning and hiring periods, but we are grateful that it wasn’t felt by the public in the way that the October one has affected the visitation.

“Although there was some misuse of the park when we had limited staff on, for every person who disrespected the park there seemed to be three that lessened the damage.

“The many acts of kindness and excellent stewardship exhibited by our visitors reaffirmed for me how much people care about Shenandoah.

“I am thankful to members of our community who were such

careful stewards during our absence. There was, in particular, a trash angel who seemed to be emptying the trash at Dickey Ridge every day and took pictures for me every day. Every single can had been emptied and new bags put back in. I am humbled by the generous spirit (that supported my staff during the shutdown),” she said.

Flynn also mentioned the record-breaking rainfall during the spring and summer of 2018.

The Big Meadows area was recorded at over 98 inches of rain for the 2018 rainy season. The prior record was 68.3 inches and that record had stood since 2003. The

average amount of rainfall is 52 inches. This means that in 2018, the park had almost double the amount of usual rainfall.

On a positive note, all that rainfall meant that creeks and streams were full and the fire risk was at an all-time low. The downside of the higher than average rainfall was a marked decrease in visitation to the park.

The Shenandoah National Park is a weather dependent park, and Flynn pointed out that the park was down 13 percent from 2017 with roughly 1.27 million visitors in 2018.

“But 2019 has been much better. At the end of May we were up

five percent from the year before.

And just looking at May 2018 and May 2019 we are up 13 percent.

We are on track to have a very good summer if we can keep the rain away for the weekends,” she noted.

Flynn continued, “I would like to say that having a national park as your neighbor is a good thing.

Every year the national park instigates an economic study impact that parks have on their communities. For 2018 visitors spent 8.86 million dollars in the communities surrounding the parks. Their spending supported over 1,000 jobs and that does not include the jobs discussed earlier. Front Royal has long understood the value of this relationship and I appreciate your commitment to protect Shenandoah. Your tourism and development staff have been engaged with Shenandoah and my other parks, Cedar Creek and Belle Grove. And we appreciate Felicia Hart’s assistance with the Shenandoah group, and with the groups from Warren County who work to take care of the foothills in the area,” she said.

Flynn also took time in her closing remarks to remind the council and Front Royal residents that the national parks do offer some free fee days to the community: • The third Saturday in June

“We are beginning to see fatal trees in the North District. We have a project starting in August where we will be taking down some 85 trees along Skyline Drive, and those are ash trees. Four percent of the canopy along the drive is ash so this will have a significant impact on the park. Chronic wasting disease among the deer population is still a concern to us,” she concluded.

After Flynn’s presentation several councilmen thanked her for the extensive report.

Councilman Jacob Meza thanked her and said that he had never had a report like that and hopes that the council would have her back in the near future.

With 50 collective years of experience, Shenandoah Elevator experts offer a variety of products

The experts at Winchester’s Shenandoah Elevator will install custom home elevators to fit individual designs and needs.

By Carol Ballard Warren/Frederick County Report For many, getting up and down stairs and moving around the home can be a challenge, but the folks at Shenandoah Elevator believe that investing in a residential elevator is a wise decision, not only for the additional resale value it adds to the home, but especially for the freedom it allows while living in it.

And on their website the wordplay “Elevating Expectations” outlines all their positive claims for excellence for home and business applications.

Shenandoah Elevator’s owner, Colin Clark, is a fourth-generation elevator expert who follows a family tradition that includes his father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather.

He was born and raised in Winchester, where the business is based. He is proud of the business.

“We have a simple, straightforward company,” he said.

Business has been good, with last year’s sales and installations of elevators numbering 30-40 for

homes and 20-30 for businesses.

Not only do they install residential and commercial elevators, the company offers other services and products, including wheelchair lifts, stair lifts, and dumbwaiters. All of this keeps Clark and his team busy filling orders and maintaining their products.

They even install wheelchair lifts in vans. On top of all this, they offer a guarantee to rescue their customers from a stuck elevator any time of the day or night.

Check the brochure on their website for extensive information on sizes and types of elevators, as well as mobility devices.

“At Shenandoah Elevator, we know that keeping your elevator and mobility equipment running is vital to your business and keeping your home elevator and mobility equipment running is vital to your independence.

“We know that when your equipment isn’t running the way it should be that could mean costly repairs and extended downtime.

Being a locally owned and operated company, we are able to respond quickly and be there when you need us the most. We pride ourselves on the fact that we employ only elevator mechanics and assistants with the highest level of expertise. All our mechanics are properly state licensed, and factory trained. That, combined with our substantial parts inventory, means Shenandoah Elevator can service and repair all makes and

models of elevators. Even if you have a preventative maintenance contract, that will not always prevent occasional breakdowns; that’s where our expertise comes in,” they say.

Customers who call to set up an account or schedule a service call are guaranteed a same-day callback.

They also say that they are proud to employ only the finest, highly skilled and properly licensed technicians to perform modernization, maintenance, and repairs on all types of equipment, and have recruited their professional staff from other elevator companies.

All this adds up to collectively 50 years of experience.

“With over 50 years of experience, we are proud to provide our customers with a peace of mind you won’t get anywhere else,” they proudly assert.

“Whether you are building a new home or want to add an elevator or lift to your existing home, we have completed countless projects working directly with a select few highly experienced general contractors who specialize in elevators. Together we can offer you a turnkey elevator pack-

age, from the first site visit to the final inspection,” they say.

For residential elevators, they promise that, “Each manufacturer will custom build an elevator to suit your needs, accommodating up to 15 square feet of usable floor space, which is the largest allowed by elevator code.”

One unique model that is somewhere between commercial and residential designs is called a Limited Use/Limited Application (LULA) elevator. These are less expensive, and typically are installed to save building space, reduce power consumption, or to greatly reduce the pit depth or the overhead clearances required.

“They are slower, don’t rise as high, and are cheaper than YOUR FULL COLOR AD THIS SIZE INSIDE 14,000 LOCAL PAPERS EVERY 2 WEEKS FOR A YEAR: just

Fauquier County crash involving train Virginia State Police Trooper

T.D. Greene is investigating two separate crashes that occurred at a railroad crossing in the Delaplane community of Fauquier County.

The crashes occurred shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday, July 18.

A Hyundai Tiburon was traveling south on Winchester Road and approaching the railroad crossing near the intersection of Rokeby Road. The crossing’s safety arm began lowering and warning lights were activated to indicate a train was coming. Witnesses say that as the Hyundai began stopping prior to the tracks, it was rear-ended by a Toyota pickup truck. The impact of the crash pushed the Hyundai across the railroad tracks to the other side, but the pickup ended up on the tracks and became disabled.

With the train approaching, the Toyota’s 58-year-old female driver and her three juvenile passengers - a 14-year-old male, 12-year-old male and 8-year-old female - safely escaped the pickup truck on the tracks. But the train was not able to avoid striking the pickup truck.

When it hit the pickup, the pickup truck was shoved off the tracks and struck the 58-year-old female.

The woman was transported to Winchester Medical Center for treatment of life-threatening injuries. The children were transported to Fauquier Health Hospital to be checked out. The 8-year-old

was treated for a minor injury.

The 24-year-old male driver of the Hyundai was not injured.

The train conductor was not injured. The Norfolk-Southern train remained on the tracks.

Charges are pending as the investigation remains ongoing.

“I appreciate the confidence of my fellow board members,” said Farmer. “Innovation and opportunity are at an all-time high in

the electricity industry, and I look forward to working with ODEC to maximize the benefits they may bring to cooperative members.”

ODEC is a member-owned generation-and-transmission cooperative that provides wholesale power to REC and 10 other member electric distribution cooperatives in Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Farmer’s leadership on the board is one of many ways REC is directly engaged in

ensuring that members receive a reliable supply of electricity that is both reasonably priced and responsibly generated.

“Our newly elected officers reflect the outstanding leadership that is present on our board of directors. I’m confident their guidance will ensure that ODEC remains a standard bearer of the cooperative business model,” said Marcus Harris, ODEC’s president and CEO.

Annual picnic

enrolling Ages 2 Kindergarten 1600 John Marshall Hwy ≈ Front Royal, VA 22630 ≈ www.dlcs1.com ≈ (540) 636-9595

The Col. James Wood II Chapter held their annual summer “picnic” on July 27th. This year’s well attended event was held at the historic Wayside Inn located in Middletown, VA. Built in the 1730’s it was the perfect backdrop for the event. A number of the Charter Members attended with others dressed in colonial and military attire. All appreciated the picnic style buffet held

in one of the air conditioned banquet rooms. Chapter President Dale Corey officiated. The Color Guard presented the colors.

This year’s event was held in honor of the Chapter’s Founding Fathers as well as the past presidents of the chapter. James M. Bayne (VASSAR past president) initiated the discussion of a new chapter back in 2006 and became its mentor. The first group of officers were formally in place in November of 2007. With existing SAR members from other chapters living in the Winchester area and surrounding towns as well as prospective new members, the Col. James Wood II Chapter was created. The new chapter was designated in the medium size category. Since then the Chapter has attained much recognition at the State and National level of the SAR for their community involvement and high level of sustained excellence.

On June 22, 2019, a raccoon was believed to have been in an altercation with two dogs, in a rural area near Stoneburner Road (Rte 681) between Edinburg and Columbia Furnace in Shenandoah County. The raccoon was found dead by the dogs’ owners. It tested positive for rabies, according to the Lord Fairfax Health District.

“This raccoon no longer poses a threat, and the event occurred in a relatively remote area,” stated Lord Fairfax Health District Director Dr. Colin Greene, “however, it should serve as a reminder that any contact with a raccoon,

fox, skunk, or bat that could result in exposure to the animal’s saliva, should be considered a potential rabies exposure. This applies to humans and domestic animals, and anyone exposed should receive an immediate medical evaluation.

The Health Department further advises: • Never approach or touch wild animals, especially any raccoon, fox, skunk or bat, especially if it is behaving oddly or if it is seen in the daylight. These animals are the main carriers of rabies in the eastern United States.

• Avoid stray cats and dogs. Feral or unknown cats and dogs may also carry rabies. Report bites or scratches from these animals to your physician or the health department.

• Vaccinate all cats, dogs and ferrets against rabies (even if they don’t go outdoors) and keep their shots up to date. Vaccinate working barn cats as well, for their protection and yours.

• Do not feed wild animals or stray cats and dogs. Eliminate outdoor food sources around the home.

• Keep pets confined to your property or walk them on a leash.

• If one of your domestic animals is bitten or otherwise interacts with a wild animal, notify the loSee BRIEFS, 20

If you are bitten, scratched, or licked by any of these animals, seek medical attention immediately. Rabies is fatal to both animals and humans once symptoms begin, but it can be prevented in humans if they receive vaccine and medication soon after exposure.

N. Cameron Street Drainage Improvements Project Phase I of the North Cameron Street Drainage Improvements Project, aimed to remedy significant flooding issues in the area north of Piccadilly Street, began on Monday, July 29. Street closures and detours will be implemented.

“The primary goal of this project is to alleviate the flooding issues that occur regularly in this area during prolonged periods of wet weather or intense rainfall,” stated Perry Eisenach, Public Services Director. “While the first phase of the project will not completely solve all the surface flooding, it will replace the existing stormwater and sanitary sewer pipes with larger pipes. These larger pipes will prevent the sanitary sewer main in Cameron Street from getting overwhelmed and surcharging during prolonged periods of wet weather, like in 2018.”

Phase I of the project includes replacing the underground storm drain, as well as water and sewer pipes between Piccadilly and Clark Streets. Future phases of work consisting of constructing stormwater detention ponds and additional underground stormwater piping north and east of this Cameron Street section will be required to solve all of the surface water flooding problems in the area. These stormwater management ponds will hold the water from large storm events and release it slowly, while improving the quality of the stormwater runoff.

In addition to the sanitary sewer and stormwater system improvements that will occur during Phase I of the project, the City

will be replacing the existing water main in Cameron Street that is old and in declining condition.

Washington Gas will also take this opportunity to replace their natural gas pipe in Cameron Street.

Traffic Impacts: Due to the significant amount of work that will be completed, traffic impacts on Cameron Street will be expected. Traffic will be reduced to one northbound lane on Cameron Street between Piccadilly and Clark Streets. A detour for southbound Route 11 and Route 522 traffic will be routed to S. Loudoun, right on Wyck, left on Braddock, and left on Cork to Cameron Street (detour map).

SVEC Welcomes Increased Solar in Power Supply Mix Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) will be among the utilities to benefit from a new partnership between Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) and EDF Renewables North America.

ODEC and EDF have entered an agreement to develop and build a 30MW portfolio of distributed solar projects across ODEC’s member service territories in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Head-

quartered in Glen Allen, ODEC is a not-for-profit, member-owned, power supply cooperative serving 11 distribution cooperatives, including SVEC. The projects are intended to bring local solar energy to ODEC member communities while at the same time providing regional and energy diversification to its generation portfolio.

“We are excited by the opportunity to work with ODEC and EDF to develop opportunities for our member-owners,” said Greg Rogers, SVEC’s vice president of Engineering and Operations. “We’ve been working hard to find ways to make the use of solar power acceptable to all parties involved.

This new partnership at the ODEC level will greatly supplement our continued efforts at the local level.”

SVEC is focused on being a leader in sustainable initiatives.

Two contractors, Nova Solar and Altenergy, have been selected to install rooftop solar panels and a ground-level tracking array at the cooperative’s Rockingham Complex. Through a grant N.C. State University received from the U.S. Department of Energy, the school is studying the financial feasibility and possible implementation of a community solar project in SVEC’s service territory. Additionally, the cooperative recently

hired an energy program coordinator, whose responsibilities include serving as a personal point of contact for member-owners interested in distributed energy from renewable resources.

“The cooperative understands that it is our role to serve as a trusted source to members-owners for electricity information, including conservation efforts,” Rogers said. “These solar projects are just one part of this educational mission.”

Chartered in 1936, SVEC serves approximately 98,000 meters in the counties of Augusta, Clarke, Frederick, Highland, Page, Rockingham, Shenandoah, and Warren and the city of Winchester in Virginia. Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative was the first electric cooperative chartered in Virginia.

This institution is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

SVEC supports our armed services and veterans in employment opportunities.

540-975-2313 Hey Stewart, Can I build a treehouse that won’t hurt my tree?

– Tommy

Ask Stewart

If a treehouse is designed poorly it can cause significant damage to a tree.

I have 6 things for you to consider when building your treehouse: 1. Infections: Airborne or insect-borne bacteria and fungi can infect a tree, causing rot and death and in some cases gradual or sudden death of the tree, e.g. Dutch elm disease and sudden oak death. The bark of the tree helps to protect the living layers underneath from exposure to these attacks. If the bark is damaged, the living tissue is

exposed which increases the chances of infection. For treehouse building, this means reducing the damage to the bark to an absolute minimum. Also, never cut pieces out of the tree to allow supports to fit better as this exposes a lot of living tissue.

2. Nails and screws: These should not be used to fix supports as you can only achieve safe support with several fixtures, thus introducing lots of holes into the surface of the tree. Use nails and screws for the flooring, framing and wall panels only. The general recommendation for fixing supports cheaply is to fit a single, large lag bolt into a cleanly drilled pilot hole. This reduces the number of puncture points to one, and eliminates dangerous problems of compartmentalization (see below).

3. Compartmentalization: When a tree is damaged it attempts to reduce the spread of disease and rot by isolating the damaged section. A barrier layer grows around the damage over several years and nutrients no longer flow to the area. This is called a compartment. As the tree cannot regrow damaged tissue as an animal does, it seals it off and continues to grow around the damaged area. If a single bolt is used, a compartment will be formed immediately around the bolt, as the hole itself is a damaged area.

(To be continued with considerations 4, 5 and 6 next time) Your Pal in the Trees,

- Stewart

The Front Royal/Warren County Tree Steward program began in 1997 with volunteers dedicated to improving the health of trees by providing educational programs, tree planting and care demonstrations, and tree maintenance throughout the community. The group now consists of over 30 active members with several interns working toward becoming certified tree stewards from our annual “All About Trees Class”. Each month Stewart will answer a question from our readers. Please forward it to “Stewart” in care of: frwctreestewards@comcast.net and we may publish it in a future issue.

Upcoming August 2019 Parks And Recreation Programs Surviving Back to School

How did America become great? How did this country become the most successful, powerful, and prosperous nation in the history of the world? Was it because of the nation’s unprecedented founding documents? Was it due to the scores of immigrants from all over the world who brought their dreams and talents to America’s shores? Or did America become great, as some contend, through racism, theft, and genocide?

Author Troy Tyson proposes a unique argument as to the origins of American greatness: that the country’s unparalleled success is a result not of its founding documents, nor its celebrated openness to people of all backgrounds, nor of genocidal tyranny. Rather, The Yankee Way asserts that the nation’s great power and success stem primarily from the traits of a comparatively small, peculiar ethnic group from New England known as the Yankees. These traits, which include morality, industriousness, respect for law and order, commitment to education, and dedication to traditional family values, were developed first by the early Puritans of New England, then passed down to their Yankee descendants, who finally embedded them into the cultural DNA of the US. The Yankee Way explores, in fascinating detail, the history of the Yankees and the process by which they created modern America and instilled within it their distinct cultural characteristics. Further, though, the audiobook serves as a warning to Americans as to what the future might hold as the nation rapidly moves away from this critical cultural inheritance and leaves the Yankee way behind.

Engle’s Angle: “Dial Tones and Dragons”

By Kevin S. Engle We have a landline phone at our house.

We have to.

Cell phones don’t work here.

We can text, sometimes, but can’t make calls.

When our landline goes out, we’re out.

Last week, we were out.

One day our service was fine.

And then it wasn’t.

I checked for a dial tone outside, where the line comes in the house.

Nothing.

That meant the problem was on the telephone company’s side of the network. They’d fix it at no charge to us.

I went online to their website and created a trouble ticket.

They’d be here in two days.

I was surprised.

And almost pleased.

Last year when we had phone issues, it took 18 days for a tech to get here.

Yeah, 18 days.

This time, they actually fixed the problem the day before our appointment.

I’m happy.

But two days later, there was lots of static on the line. You could barely carry on a conversation with someone.

After hoping it would get better, but of course didn’t, I created another trouble ticket.

The repair tech would be here,

you guessed it, in two days.

He was.

And he fixed it.

But as he headed down the driveway, and my wife checked the phone, there was no dial tone.

I ran after him.

He’d forgotten to do one little thing.

And when he did it, we were good.

But a few hours later, we weren’t.

The line was dead. Again.

I’m getting annoyed.

My wife went to their website to chat. They’d page him to come back that afternoon.

By 3:30, there was still no sign of him.

I went to their website for a nice little chat.

“I’d like the tech to come back.

TODAY!” “Let’s wait until tomorrow,” the customer disservice rep typed in response.

Tomorrow?

I’m seething.

I had to create another ticket.

That’s the third one. He’d be here sometime in the morning.

The next day, early, I checked the status to see exactly when he’d arrive.

There was no ticket. It had vanished.

I’m now a fire-breathing dragon.

I create another stupid repair ticket. That’s #4.

He’d be here this afternoon.

And he was.

This time the problem was an administrative one. Something hadn’t been updated in the back office.

I don’t care where the problem is. Front office, back office, side office.

Just fix the dang phone!

The author is scared of dragons.

gressman Lou Correa (CA-46), attended the bill signing at the White House. The legislation, which would expand American Legion membership criteria to include all honorably discharged veterans who served during unrecognized times of war, was also co-sponsored by Congressman Gil Cisneros (CA-39).

“This is a momentous occasion for all veterans who have honorably served in the United States Armed Forces,” Cline said. “I thank President Trump for sign-

ing the LEGION Act into law and expanding the reach of the American Legion to even more of our nation’s heroes. This is the type of bipartisan work I am proud to do in Congress. I will continue to join with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to best serve the people of Virginia’s Sixth Congressional District as we tackle the challenges facing our nation.”

Cline and Correa’s House version of the bill had 108 co-sponsors from both parties.
