4-H, FFA students to show off animals By Josette Keelor The Northern Virginia Daily Nicolas Binebrink, 13, names all of his goats for Disney characters. Lilo and Stitch will go to the Shenandoah County Fair this year, along with older goat Pepper, who got his name from the film “One Hundred and One Dalmatians.� Nani, who was in the same January litter as Lilo and Stitch, will stay home from the fair to breed for next year, said Nicolas, who hopes to sell the other two. He started showing goats five years ago and will join other area 4-H members and FFA students at the fair, scheduled for Aug. 26-31 at the fairgrounds in Woodstock, 300 Fairground Road. “My parents bought me my first goats, and I just went on from there,� he said. “They’re very interesting animals.� Nicolas, an eighth-grader at Signal Knob Middle School, said he mainly shows goats but has also shown rabbits and chickens. At his family’s Strasburg home, he’s raising Netherland dwarf rabbits, one of the smallest breeds. He also has a leghorn chicken named Bigfoot and a buff Orpington chicken named Ethel. “I like getting to learn more about the animals themselves and what to do for them and how to take care of them,�
said Nicolas, who was planning to take an agriculture leadership class at school this year. “It’s just really fun to learn more and mess around with these animals, because they will really mess around with you.� Lindsey Rigby, 15, of Woodstock, said her mom was the impetus to her joining 4-H. “I think she in a way kind of encouraged me to join,� Lindsey said. “She always thought it was a good idea.� Lindsey started by joining a 4-H goat club and showing goats and later moved onto sheep and cows. “I got interested after going to the fair each year,� she said. “After the goat show, I would go to sheep shows.� After that, she said, “I really just liked the idea of showing cattle.� Now starting her fourth year, Lindsey praised 4-H for building children’s leadership skills.

celebrate smokey Bear’s 75th birthday with a hot air balloon ride By Max Thornberry The Northern Virginia Daily
Smokey Bear’s history, Buck said, is an interesting one that has its roots in World War II.

To ice reached out to Disney to ask for celebrate, families flocking to the fair permission to use the characters in can take a hot air balloon ride in their campaign. Smokey’s balloon above the fair“They agreed,” Buck said. “But only grounds. agreed for a very short period of time.

That truck, bear cub up in a tree,” Buck said. “Its Buck said, brought him into contact paws and legs were burnt so they saved with the people responsible for the the little guy and got him all fixed up Smokey Bear balloon. and they named him Smokey.” In 2017, Buck said he got the Shenandoah County Fair on the balloon’s schedule. That calendar, he said, fills up fast. During the fair, the 1957 tanker, the balloon and Smokey Bear will be on hand. The tethered balloon ride will take riders up 100 feet into the air and back down again, Buck said. On Thursday, Charlie Pride will sing happy birthday to Smokey. Smokey’s run-ins with musicians have not always been to his benefit. When Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins wrote their 1952 song celebrating Smokey, his name was changed to fit the beat. Buck explained the “the” in Smokey’s name isn’t correct. He’s just Smokey Bear, Buck said.
National interest in the bear getting saved pushed the New Mexico Fish and Wildlife Service to send Smokey to the U.S. Forest Service, Buck said, where he stayed at the National Zoo. In the early 2000s, Buck said, Smokey Bear changed his tagline to encompass wildfires generally rather than forest fires specifically. Fires, Buck explained, are an important piece of keeping forests healthy but keeping children and adults mindful of what they are doing is just as important to keeping forests alive. Nine out of 10 forest fires are humancaused, Buck said, hammering home the fact that the forests are resources that will be lost if they aren’t taken care of was important.
Rich Cooley/Daily
Steve Buck, a retired law enforcement and fire management officer for the Lee District of the George Washington National Forest, stands in front of this 1957 Chevrolet tanker that he took to the National Boy Scout Jamboree in New River Gorge, West Virginia in 2017. It was there that Buck made a connection to bring a hot air balloon of Smokey Bear to the Shenandoah County Fair this year to celebrate Smokey’s 75th birthday.

“If you’re gonna burn a bunch of debris and brush at your house and you’re too close to the woods, you have a serious chance of starting a serious fire,” Buck said. “Between hurting the timber, hurting the wildlife and maybe,
possibly hurting your neighbor, it’s something that is in your face and that people have to understand.” Contact Max Thornberry at mthornberry@nvdaily.com
