Dome home pops up on Joshua Road AMANDA MOTLEY

For the Stafford County Sun

Driving down Joshua Road you will pass a lot of conventional homes until you see a home pop up that looks much like something from Walt Disney’s Epcot center. The structure is geodesic, a dome home, owned by Thomas and Yong Langrehr. Having researched the project for more than 10 years, Thomas Langrehr began construction on the house in December 2014. Langrehr said he was raised near homes built from non-traditional designs. Most homes were underground with the front façade exposed, introducing him to the idea of alternately constructed homes. “I have lived in many different types of houses though my life, from high-rise concrete apartments to brick houses and of course the traditional stick-built homes,” he said. “They all provided a roof over my head, but for the most part lacked character.” Langrehr said he chose a geodesic home for its character, along with its five star energy rating and many other attributes.

Upon completion, the dome will hold an R-28 insulation value verse the R-15 insulation value of traditional homes. This means that the dome will have a better thermal performance than most homes. The R-value of insulation reflects its ability to resist heat traveling through it, according to energystar.gov. In other words, the higher an R-value of insulation, the better thermal performance it will offer. Unconventional materials and construction methods used to construct a geodesic home, says the manufacturer, offer extraordinary durability against many natural elements. The manufacturer, American Ingenuity, states that the shape of all dome homes creates reduced wind resistance, can withstand 225 mph hurricane-force winds and guarantees the home will withstand F-4 tornados. “The dome itself is made of various sizes of triangle and rectangular panels,” said Langrehr. “The panels have a 3/4 inch steel reinforced concrete exterior surface

attached to seven-inch expanded polystyrene and finished in the inside with 1/2 inch DensArmor drywall.” According to Langrehr, the building materials are not only durable but will not decay, as opposed to materials of traditional homes. The structure’s panels are assembled into a geodesic shape according to a specific plan created by the manufacturer. Once in place, seams between panels are joined with steel reinforced mesh and cemented together. The panels of the dome transfer the load evenly across the entire structure. The geodesic design not only features a non-traditional shape, it specifies a nontraditional paint job as well. The home has no shingles on the roof or siding around the structure, just the unique tan exterior paint to provide any needed protection from the natural elements. Langrehr’s process of building the home was not without obstacles. Due to the unique style, the manufacGEODESIC ture and Langrehr worked PAGE 3 together with the Building

After a lengthy discussion about targeted growth areas in the county, the Stafford County Board of Supervisors voted 4-3 Tuesday to send the matter back to the county’s planning commission for further review. Supervisors Robert Thomas, R-George Washington; Meg Bohmke, R-Falmouth; and Paul Milde, R-Aquia, cast the dissenting votes. The dissenting supervisors wanted to provide the planning commission with more direction and assistance, rather than sending the broad issue back.

OK to drink yellow water

Officials are telling residents of southern Stafford County that it’s safe to drink the yellow water, but don’t do the laundry. The discoloration of the water is a result of manganese which is naturally occurring at the Lake Mooney Reservoir, the county posted on its website Wednesday. It seems that higher than normal levels of the chemical entered the Lake Mooney Treatment Facility, which services the southern portion of the county, and turned the water yellow. Crews are working to flush out the system as quickly as possible and expect the water to clear up in a few days, according to the county. As for doing the laundry, the water may stain clothes.

For the Stafford County Sun

Three suspects are in custody after a bank robbery in soucth Stafford on Monday, Sheriff ’s Office spokesman Bill Kennedy said. Jerome Lonell Anderson, 35, Anthony Jamar Washington, 28, and Tyrone Rakym Jones, 21, all of Richmond, were each charged with one count of robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, possession of stolen property and grand larceny. Besides the robbery charges, they were driving a car reportedly stolen in Henrico County. That car was ditched on Truslow Road, Kennedy said. Sheriff ’s Office personnel wasted

no time in apprehending three men following the robbery about 3:30 p.m. at Union Bank and Trust at 1044 Warrenton Road. Within ten minutes of the robbery, Maj. David Decatur spotted a man walking along Truslow Road who matched the description of one of the robbers. Decatur and Deputy Catherine Whited took the man into custody. Deputies, detectives, police dogs and a helicopter from the Maryland State Police continued to search the area around Truslow Road, according to Kennedy. Following a four-hour search, Detective Tim Covington spotted two men running into the woods in the Abel

Gibbons to run for Rock Hill supervisor Robert C. Gibbons is once again running for the Rock Hill supervisor seat. He was on the Stafford County Board of Supervisors for 16 years and is running as an independent. A Virginia business owner, retired veteran and federal civil servant, Gibbons says he has a history of guiding business growth and development while preserving the value of Stafford’s unique history. A lifelong conservative, Gibbons plans to work closely with members of the board to continue leading Stafford into the future — without wasting taxpayer funds, according to a news release. “Between the beauty, safety, and strong education available in our region, not to mention the strong opportunities for business owners, Stafford County will only continue growing,” Gibbons

said. “It’s important that county leaders are able to support that growth without unduly burdening residents and while maintaining the area characteristics that make the county such an inviting place.” A former chairman of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, Gibbons started his career in local politics in the 1980s. He helped modernize Stafford’s utilities, services and education system across multiple decades, he said, and has demonstrated a long-time commitment to maintaining a first-class Sheriff ’s department; consistently supported teacher raises and educational funding; and been responsible for many of the county’s traffic management innovations. Among his accomplishments, he lists the construction of administration and courthouse buildings, the Stafford

Regional Airport and regional landfill, and Centreport Parkway; bringing University of Mary Washington into South Stafford; establishing the FRED bus system; and implementing a regional criminal information sharing network. When Gibbons was a supervisor, Stafford was rated one of the 20 best places to live in the country, he said. This vast experience and expert knowledge of Stafford provides Gibbons a unique insight into the needs of the county. By leveraging his experience, forwardthinking perspective and expertise in finding consensus among differing groups, Gibbons said he aims to continue efforts to ensure that Stafford County remains a welcoming, safe environment for raising future generations, just as when he and his wife of more than 50 years raised their family here.

Dudenhefer announces his pledge to veterans Mark Dudenhefer, the Republican candidate for Virginia House District 2, has released a pledge to veterans. He said he understands the issues facing veterans and their families, having been a Marine colonel for 30 years. “Far too often the government breaks the promises made to our brave men and

women, who sacrifice so much,” he said. “My 5 Star Pledge to Veterans will guide me as your delegate, so veterans and their families know they have a strong advocate in Richmond.” Dudenhefer said he will have monthly office hours for members of the military and their families to discuss the problems they’re facing.

He said he will work hard to support the local military advisory councils. Dudenhefer said he has worked closely with the Town of Quantico to get funding for repairs of roads and local traffic signs and wants to expand the relationship to ensure the base, along with the town, has a strong advocate in Richmond.

He said that he would work closely with the Military Affairs and Veteran’s Caucus and advocate on behalf of the military and their families. Dudenhefer’s fifth pledge is to work with the Inspector General to improve the VDVS by reducing wait time, backlogs and striving for peak performance.

Division of the Stafford County Department of Public Works to ensure the structure was up to building code. According to Langrehr, it was a fourmonth process to get permits to build. “The unique design required that I contact a local engineer to provide a number of the requisite inspections through the process,” said Langrehr. Another hurdle was the financial aspect of the project. Langrehr had a hard time finding a bank that was able to think outside the usual box house. “I was not able to find any bank that would finance the construction of this dome,” cited Langrehr. “They were all of the mindset that all homes must be square boxes, and anything else was just too far outside the norm that they were not willing to work with me.” Despite the unique structure of the house, the dome home will function just like any other home. There are two floors and a basement with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. For Langrehr, one of the most rewarding aspects of the project has been the interest of the community. “Many people will slow down as they are driving by and do a double take,” said Langrehr. “Others are even more curious

But this is only in one area, and once that parallel road feeds into I-95 then there will be more cars on I-95. Will this result in a bottleneck? Who can know the answer until it is done, but don’t forget what has developed after the toll roads were built, toll roads that were supposed to alleviate I-95 congestion. The toll roads just moved the congestion farther on down the interstate. We might call this “kick the can planning.” So often the term “smart growth” is used with all sorts of planning. But smart growth is more than not adding any more growth areas. It is preparing for the future and contemplating future needs for an escalating population such as new modes of transportation and more parallel roads. It is building a sustainable county, not merely a growing county. Is a county that continues to add new homes and commercial development and then seeks to solve the traffic problems by adding lanes to I-95 sustainable? I think not. There has to be a better way. Another quotation attributed to Albert Einstein is, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” We keep building more homes, more shopping centers and more lanes on I-95. Maybe Professor Einstein was on to something that we could learn from? Harvey Gold can be reached at info@staffordcountysun.com.

Stafford students finish state police program The 26th Youth Cadet Law Enforcement program, or the Junior Law Cadet program, included seven Stafford County rising seniors in the weeklong Virginia State Police trainee program. Zakary T. Bland, Siara N. Corprew, Thomas J. Lisovich, Ryan D. Maher, Shawn M. Monaghan, Miguel A. Quintanilla and Kailana L. Ripp received their graduation certificates at the State Police Academy in Richmond on June 26. Cadets experience a life similar to a trooper-in-training, complete with

daily room inspections and instruction by state police troopers on department operations, crime scene investigations, officer survival, undercover operations, driver improvement, scuba training, defensive tactics and firearms safety. As part of their training, the cadets also undergo a variety of physical agility exercises used in the Virginia State Police applicant testing process. The session is co-sponsored by the Virginia State Police and The American Legion.

LIVING WITH DOGS | LAURIE C. WILLIAMS

SHELTER PETS OF THE WEEK

Don’t make it a cruel summer for pets

Soon it will be commonplace for thermometers to regularly go past 90 degrees, which can hamper our dogs’ daily activities. With proper planning and smart choices, we can outsmart the weather and still keep our pets safe. It’s great if you enjoy taking your dog with you on your errands about the town, but make sure those errands involve drive thru service or the business establishments will allow you to take your dog inside with you. Leaving your dog in your vehicle, even for a few minutes, should be avoided at all costs. For starters, even though Virginia is not among them, 14 states have statutes that specifically prohibit leaving an animal in a confined vehicle. However, if the authorities deem your dog in danger, it could fall under animal cruelty and neglect statutes as well. Legalities aside, too many dogs lose their lives every year from being left in a hot vehicle. Heat stroke, which occurs when a pet’s internal body temperature rises to dangerous levels, can occur surprisingly fast. Tests show that when the outside temperature is 72 degrees, a car’s interior temperature can rocket to 116 in just one hour, even with the windows partially down. At 85 degrees, temperatures can soar to 102 in 10 minutes, and 120 degrees in 30 minutes. This is deadly. While your car is moving, even though your dog may love sticking his head out the window, be aware that small particles of debris could enter your dog’s eyes or ears causing injury. Should you get involved in an accident, the injury to a dog with his head out the window could be even more serious. Even though your dog may seem

to like riding in the back of an open vehicle or truck bed, but for the reasons mentioned above, this is very risky and a bad idea. According to many humane societies, it is estimated that 100,000 dogs are killed each year from sudden starts, stops or turns that toss your pet onto the highway where the dog can be hit by oncoming traffic. Leashing your dog inside the truck bed could also cause serious or fatal injury. Many dogs have been strangled from being left helplessly dangling after hitting a bump. Additionally, the sun beating down on a truck bed can cause the floor to burn a pet’s pads.

More safety summer tips

Exercise your dog during the cooler hours such as early morning, or in the evening when the sun is less harsh. Keep foot pads protected from the hot asphalt and concrete. Also be sure to offer your pet cool, fresh water often. If your dog or cat is left outside during the day, make sure he has access to shade, shelter and cool water at all times. If water is in a bowl, make sure it is tip-proof. Summer shave downs for longhaired dogs and cats are not always the best idea. A pet’s fur is also meant to provide protection from the sun, biting flies and mosquitoes. So, consult your veterinarian and professional pet groomer for the best course of action. Summer is a great time for family fun and that includes our pets, as long as we keep in mind that their safety is in our hands. Stafford business owner Laurie C.

GROWTH

FROM PAGE 1

Friday, July 10, 2015 • www.insidenova.com/news/stafford/ • STAFFORD COUNTY SUN

according to a briefing from County Administrator Anthony Romanello. A population increase of 89,966 people over the next 20 years is projected, he said, and that amounts to 31,746 new homes. Romanello discussed targeted growth with respect to the county’s Comprehensive Plan, explaining that it’s the county’s future vision and guide for how Stafford should grow and change. Every five years the plan has to be revisited, he said. That doesn’t mean it has to change, he added, but it has to be revisited. “A lot of where we are headed in the future is based on growth,” Romanello said. A public hearing was also held, with about 20 people commenting on the matter in which six targeted growth areas (TGA) are proposed in order to accommodate half of the expected growth over the next two decades. The board also discussed TGAs with respect to Stafford Regional Airport. Some speakers didn’t understand why some TGAs would be targeted near the airport. If the board would have approved the plan, it could still have gone back to make changes, according to discussion, but that would have required a public hearing and public advertisement beforehand. The board discussed deferring the

matter but was advised by legal staff that a determination would need to be made 90 days from the planning commission’s previous vote, which was May 13. So, the board would have until Aug. 13, which is before the next supervisors’ meeting. Milde, who dissented, called the vote convoluted and laughable. He said that the planning commission asked for more specific instruction in certain areas. The vote would essentially ignore that request, he added. Some board members were also miffed that airport officials spoke publicly and fervently about the matter, considering that the county subsidizes the airport. “We do not appreciate this kind of stance from the airport and we will not tolerate it,” said Supervisor Jack Cavalier, I-Griffis-Widewater. Supervisor Laura Sellers said she doesn’t know why airport leaders feel the way they do. “We’re not stopping the airport,” she said. “Nobody’s against the airport.” During the public hearing, Stafford resident Ruth Carlone told the board that before approving the matter, it should have an informational meeting in two places. “People haven’t the foggiest what’s going on,” she told supervisors. “You need to let them know what’s going on. ...People just don’t know enough about it to come out and say yay or nay. You are doing a disservice to your constituents.” Tracy Bell can be reached at info@staffordcountysun.com.
