Picnic Food Warning


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning us about picnic food, and what it says applies especially to seniors. It seems theres another potential food-borne illness: Listeria. Picnic foods -- hot dogs, deli meats, prepared salads, meat spreads from the deli case and soft cheeses -- can contain bacteria called Listeria. Smoked seafood and unpasteurized milk also can harbor Listeria. Even if the bacteria has been killed by cooking, it can be recontaminated because the bacteria can grow at refrigerator temperature. In addition to food poisoning, those with health risks can come down with a very serious infection after consuming Listeria-contaminated foods. Even for seniors without medical conditions, healing from an infection can include long hospitalizations -- or even death. Here are some food safety tips from

By Carol Ballard Special to Frederick County Report heir road trip will be an especially long haul for the Wounded Warrior Riders. The mission of the six-member group is to travel across the entire country on horseback. This effort, they hope, will raise awareness and money for the wounded warrior project. Its a private charity, they said, which helps members of the military, especially from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who have been wounded, whether physically, mentally and/or emotionally, with career and other types of counseling and employment issues. This helps with the transition to a new normal life in the civilian world, said Mike Proscia, wounded warrior himself and ex-Marine. You dont come back the same person as when you left, Jef Keegan, a veteran of Vietnam who originated the idea of riding the 3300 miles from Virginia to California, said. The riders arrived in Front Royal on Rt. 5 S. at around  p.m. and stopped for about half an hour at the Royal Family Bowling Alley parking lot on Wednesday, June 15. They had just come from a stay in Hume. The ride began in Dahlgren, Va. at the Naval Weapons Station. All of members of the group are from Arizona. Proscia lives in Phoenix and everyone else lives near Lake Havasu. They hope to end the estimated four-to-six months ride in northern California in November. The ride was originally Jef Keegans idea, said Proscia. As if to expand on his motivation for the idea, Jef added, support is growing each year. Theres a lot of adjustment mentally and physically. The general population is more supportive

now than earlier during the Vietnam War, but were trying to teach (the wounded warriors) what they are capable of doing rather than what they used to do, Keegan said. They need to learn how to be a part of the community again and still be active and make a living. Help can come in the form of financial aid or getting them in touch with agencies, governmental or other, and to find programs and resources. The women of the group are Blue Star Mothers mothers of active service members - or both Blue and Gold Star Mothers, those who have lost children in the military service to the wars. Mona Hester, who drives the trailer fitted out with supplies for the trip, lost three children. They were doing their job, she said. This is a good project. We dont want our soldiers to be forgotten, Kathy Gaddy, who has a son who is active with helping troop morale and son-in-law who is an Iraqi veteran, said.

Why pay more?

By Jonathan Lucci Frederick County Report Citizens of Winchester will be seeing their utilities bills rise over the next few years, significantly in 01 and 013 and more gradually beyond that. This increase in water and sewage rates is the result of a major renovation project being undertaken by the City on its water system at various points in town. This project is being undertaken because of the advanced age of the citys water system and is considered as an unavoidable necessity by City Council members. We have the second oldest water system of any city in the United States, said Councilman Milt McInturff. The citys plan to pay for the expensive project is to first take out a loan and then pay that loan down over a number of years through the revenues generated by the rate increases. The total cost of the three major renovation projects and the final phase of the upgrade to the water treatment plant is estimated at 1 million dollars. The projects are scheduled to be carried out over the next few years, with the water treatment plant upgrade finishing first and the improvements to the pedestrian malls system being

the final project to come to completion in 013. The rate increases themselves will also be gradual. The proposed schedule would see the water and sewage rates rise by 15% in 01 and then rise again by another 15% in 013. But the increased bills for citizens will not end there. The city estimates additional needs for the water system will require another rise of 3 to 4 percent each year between 013 and 017. The report given to Council proposed a few possible alternatives to raising the rates, but each one only somewhat lowered the increased billing, even when deferring all three of the renovation projects. If all three of the proposed utility replacement projects were deferred, the rate increases needed in 01 and 013 would be 11% per year (as opposed to 15%). It should be noted that if these projects are deferred, the following grants that havebeen obtained would be forfeited: VDOT Revenue Sharing Funds for 1.6 Million, Federal grant for 1.5 Million, reads the report by the city to Council. Council members noted that not acting to renovate such an excessively old water system was simply not an option, even as several members asserted that raising the rates on citizens was not

something they were happy about. However, the sheer magnitude of the problem seemed obvious. We actually found wooden pipes, noted Councilman McInturff when discussing past projects on the system. The report also pointed out that Winchester compared favorably with other jurisdictions when it came to utility bills. The age of the citys water system and inevitability of its renovation may cause some citizens to worry about the quality of the water being used in the city. However, the city continues to state that their water is of high enough quality to meet the necessary standards. The environmental quality of the water produced and wastewater treated is in accordance with the rigorous standards established by the Virginia Department of Health, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and the United States Environmental Protection Agency to assure safety to the consumer and the environment, reads the statement on the Citys website. The tentative timeline would have the city submitting an application for the loan in early August of this year, with the rate increases to begin next year.

The vastly outdated Winchester processing facility in dire need of an update. Water and sewer customers across the city will be feeling the pinch of higher prices both in 2012 and 2013.

iving history camps for children, guided tours, lecture series, theatrical productions, a reenactment, candlelight museum tours, and authentic period ball dances are just a few of the over 70 events planned through the remainder of this year in the WinchesterFrederick County area. The Winchester-Frederick County Convention & Visitors Bureau has released a comprehensive list of all local Civil War events, from June through December. The wide

array of activities planned is sure to provide something for all, from scholars and historians to families with small children. The story of Winchester-Frederick County during the uncivil Civil War is a significant part of our nations history. Area Civil War partners are working very hard to present many educational opportunities for our residents and visitors alike, said Sally Coates, Executive Director of the Winchester-Frederick County Convention & Visitors Center.

The month of July includes two very unique events. The Civil War Sesquicentennial Race hosted by Runners Retreat on July 9 will challenge runners to solve clues from Civil War history to complete a scavenger hunt of important area landmarks. Prizes will be awarded, and runners may sign up at Runners Retreat, 135 N. Loudoun Street, Winchester. The Document Digitization Project on July 9-30 aims to preserve history by digitizing Civil War era documents. Citizens are en-

couraged to bring photos, letters, diaries, and other materials to the Winchester-Frederick County Visitors Center to be scanned and preserved for access in the Library of Virginias online database. This event is a project of The Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission and the Library of Virginia. Other exciting events for this year include the Battle of Cedar Creek Reenactment, North-South Skirmish Associations Fall National Competition, Winchester-Freder-

ick Countys Civil War Weekend, a Civil War Commemoration at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, and a traveling exhibit at the Handley Regional Library. More is on the horizon. Next year well commemorate the 186 Valley Campaign of Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson, the First Battle of Kernstown and the First Battle of Winchester. The complete calendar of Civil War events can be viewed on the homepage of the CVBs website; visitwinchesterva.com.

O ver 100 firefighters from Wi n c h e s t e r a n d Fr e d e r i c k County took part in a training exercise in the former Circuit City/Fun Expedition building before it was demolished to make room for the new construction of Longhorn Steakhouse. This type of training affords us an opportunity that we usually do not get to do, which is cutting metal roofs, breaching block walls and searching large areas of space for victims in

complete darkness, Scott Kensinger from the Winchester Fire & Rescue Department said. To simulate the lack of visability that would come with an intense fire, the firefighters blacked out their masks before entering the building. For five days, firefighters subjected themselves to the extreme heat and long days of practicing potential emergencies in big-box stores. It really tested ever yones capability and limits, which is

what we all need to know in a real emergency, said Kensinger. The Winchester Fire & Rescue Department was very excited about this training opportunity and is very appreciative to the property owner for their generosity. It is not everyday that we can obtain a structure like this to train in, said Kensinger. The new owner of the property also generously donated materials from the building, including a complete sprinkler system, to aid in any future exercises at the Citys firefighter training center.

The City of Winchester will begin work on the Valley Avenue sidewalk replacement project right after the 4th of July holiday. The first part of the project will be to remove the trees along Valley Avenue that are unhealthy and near the end of their useful life. These trees are being removed in advance of the sidewalk replacement to prevent the necessity of having to come back in the next few years to remove the tree when it has died and also have to repair the newly constructed sidewalk. A total of 48 trees will be removed

between Handley High School and Bellview. Beginning on Tuesday, July 5, crews from Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative will be removing the trees selected for removal on the east side of Valley Avenue (under their electric lines). On Monday, July 11, crews are scheduled to begin removing the trees on the west side of Valley Avenue, including those in front of Handley High School. Construction on the actual sidewalk replacements is expected to begin on August 1 and be completed by October 011. Once the sidewalks have been replaced, the City will be planting approximately 100 new trees along Valley Avenue to replace the unhealthy trees that are being removed. These new trees will be planted before Thanksgiving and will be relatively large trees (4 or 5 inch caliper). The new trees that will be planted in front of Handley High School are consistent with the master landscape plan for the Handley Campus that has been developed by the Garden Club of Virginia. Motorists on Valley Avenue may experience minor delays during this project. The City apologizes for any inconvenience that may be encountered and thanks all the residents, businesses, and motorists for their patience and cooperation while these important sidewalk improvements are being made.

Winchester

By Jonathan Lucci Frederick County Report WINCHESTER Controversy had marked previous City Council meetings regarding the noise created by garbage trucks early in the morning near residential neighborhoods. An ordinance was proposed that would ban the operation of those trucks in the city between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. However, some members of council believed the problem was being blown out of proportion and that a city-wide ordinance was too broad to be an efficient solution. It was agreed by council members that the city would meet with the garbage companies to

create a joint Memorandum of Understanding. This was seen as a chance to find a common solution that not harm business. On Tuesday, June 8 Council was given that Memorandum. It emphasized that avoiding disturbance to local residential neighborhoods was a common priority. An agreement was reached to follow the Memorandum for a six month pilot period, to test its effectiveness and whether continuing with it would solve the problem. Instead of a city-wide ban, the memorandum restricts the use of the trucks around residential neighborhoods between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The companies will be provided with a map showing

the property zoned as residential. The memorandum is only meant for six months and any of the participants are free to back out of the deal. The police department is eligible for two grants that could enhance their abilities. The first is a grant from Harley Davidson Grant Assistance Program to purchase a motorcycle for the police force. The report on the grant submitted to council cited savings in fuel consumption by a police car as a major benefit of the grant. According to the report, the average police car in Winchester consumes 17 miles per gallon of gas, while the motorcycle would consume 40 miles per gallon. In addition, a grant was found by the city that could help with purchasing equipment for the police department. The grant could be up to $35,000, with ninety percent of the funds coming from the federal government

and ten percent from the city. The Chief of Police, Kevin Sanzenbacher, presented his concerns to council regarding the abuse of animals that results from their owners leaving them in cars during the excessively hot weather of late. People do not realize that even on a relatively mild 85 degree day it takes only 10 minutes for the interior of a closed car to reach temperatures of over 100 degrees. Within 30 minutes this temperature can reach over 10 degrees. In addition, most domestic animals have very inefficient cooling systems, wrote Chief Kevin Sanzenbacher in his official letter to council. The chief cited several local incidents, as well as national reports, of animals being locked in unventilated cars on very hot days. The chief is seeking extra authority for his officers to remove the dog from the vehicle and prosecute the owners.

By Doug Walp Frederick County Report WINCHESTER Aspiring writing students from throughout Frederick Countys public schools participated in a two-day writing workshop on Thursday and Friday at Shenandoah University. The workshop was assembled by the Northern Virginia Writing Project, a non-profit organization seeking to not only increase reading and writing abilities of its students, but to also further educate passionate local teachers on proven successful methods and writing curriculum for future generations of students as well. I came here to be a better writer, remarked one eager student. Twenty-two students in all, ranging from grades 5-1, participated in the two-day workshop that allowed the engaged participants to work in small groups with Teacher Consultants, whom have all received the advanced inscription teaching training provided by the NVWP. Throughout the majority of the 9 a.m. 4 p.m. session, students were involved in these acute groups that offered the young writers a multitude of writing focuses, including Fantasy, Mystery, Science Fiction, Poetry, Songwriting, College Application Essays and others. In addition, participating students were able to attend presentations given by two successful published authors. The authors, L.M. Elliot and Phil Bildner, gave their personal perspectives and depositions that were about an hour long Thursday and Friday, respectively. One of the facets of writing that the upbeat Bildner worked with the students with on the second day of the workshop was the radical evolution of a piece of writing from draft to final, published copy. Bildner also shared his perspectives with the students in attendance on the values and endless possibilities for finding inspiration for writing. You never know whats going to inspire you, said Bildner. Sometimes, the coolest things in life are right in front of you. Afterward, the esteemed writers stayed to answer additional student and faculty questions and sign copies of their published work, ones that each individual student received over the two-day writing workshop. The coordinator of the workshop, Erin Hubbard, described her gratitude for the authors involvement in the workshop as well as Shenandoah Universitys hospitality during the NVWPs time there. The NVWP is foundationally based out of Fairfax, where it has done most of its workshops at George Mason University, but has expanded in recent years to include satellite locations in areas like Frederick County; Hubbard expressed that finding a permanent location to host events like the workshop are integral for their continued growth and expansion into the Shenandoah Valley. Some of the most exciting and encouraging aspects of this years workshop according to its coordinator, Hubbard, was the fact that it had expanded into a two-day event this year, and even more importantly, that the global publishing conglomerate Houghton Mifflin Harcourt had decided to sponsor several sixth grade students from Frederick County Public Schools, providing them with the entire two-day registration cost of $130.00 per student. Its just fantastic, said Hubbard of Houghton Mifflin Harcourts benevolence. I wish more companies out there would do that for kids. Also included in the registration fee was lunch that was served to the participating students over both days. Regardless of any monetary value attached to the workshop, both the Teacher Consultants and their coordinator agreed, the experience for the young writers in attendance was unquantifiable. Hubbard also added that as the new expansion of the NVWP continues to build new foundations in areas like Frederick County and similar locations throughout the Shenandoah Valley, new programs will be developed and become available to its residents. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------For more information about NVWP in the Valley or its corresponding student and teacher workshops, please contact Erin Hubbard through email at youngwriters-valley@hotmail.com.

Is your pond eco-friendly?


Noah Manuel Aquatic Creations Ecosystem ponds can be easy to understand if you have a good grasp of what components go into a basic, functioning ecosystem. An ecosystem pond works with Mother Nature to provide food, shelter, and safety to the wildlife around it. It also provides you with an all-natural, lowmaintenance piece of paradise. Its important to remember, however, that every piece of the ecosystem puzzle must be present in order for a true ecosystem to be in place. Eliminate one of these elements and youve got an unbalanced ecosystem that wont be so low-maintenance anymore. Circulation System is really just a fancy way of saying pumps and plumbing. The proper size pump and pipe diameter are extremely important for the aesthetics of a water feature. More importantly, an efficient circulation system keeps the water moving and provides the necessary oxygen levels for healthy fish and plants. Proper Filtration System includes the use of both a biological and a mechanical filter. A biological filter provides surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize and remove excess nutrients from the water. A mechanical filter will not only pre-filter the water and house the pump; it will also skim debris from the

Homemade Cleaners Get the Job Done


When it comes to household cleaning products, there really isnt anything new on the shelves. The packaging might change (generally getting smaller) and the claims might be wilder, but the ingredients themselves likely are the same. One thing that hasnt changed at all: Cleaning products cost too much, and manufacturers have tried to convince us that we need a separate product for each area or function. If youre willing to do a little experimenting and follow a few simple recipes, you can make your own cleaning products and save up to 90 percent of the cost of those bought in the store. With a few basic ingredients, you can create multi-use products that not only work, but are safer around children and pets. Here are a few examples: Mix two cups water and one cup hydrogen peroxide and spray on shower grout. Mix white vinegar and water (50/50 mixture) in a spray bottle for bathroom and kitchen surfaces. White vinegar removes mildew, so its effective in showers as well. Simmer a cup of water and 1 tablespoon of vinegar to get rid of cooking

smells from fish, onions and curry. Mix a cup of water, a cup of Isopropyl rubbing alcohol and 1 tablespoon non-sudsing ammonia in a spray bottle for use on windows. Isopropyl alcohol acts as a disinfectant, too. Or, mix two cups of water and 3 tablespoons of vinegar in a sprayer for use on windows. To clean drains, mix four quarts hot water (not boiling) and 1/2 cup of salt. Pour down the drain and follow with clear, hot water. Put lemon slices down the garbage disposal for a fresh smell. Use a paste of baking soda and water to clean your oven. Let it dry overnight. Wipe off with liquid detergent and a little water on a sponge. Use 1/4 cup of vinegar in the washers rinse cycle to cut down on static. Use dish soap, baking soda and a scrubber to remove grease spots from clothes. Tip: Label your spray bottles so theres no confusion about the contents. Attach your recipe to the label so you can duplicate it later. For more recipes, check your library for green books, or go online. Check www.thriftyfun.com, www. organizedhome.com, www.eartheasy. com, www.diynetwork.com and www. beingfrugal.net.
