Imagine if an American paper
company cut down one third of
Virginia’s trees, drove families
from land they had lived on for
generations and destroyed habitat
for black bears, bobcats and white
tailed deer -- all so they could sell
toilet paper in Indonesia?
Virginians would have a right to
be angry and to demand that the
company respect local communi-
ties and protect critical habitat for
wildlife, especially in places such as
Shenandoah National Park – one
of our country’s natural treasures.
Tis scenario may sound far-
fetched for Virginians, but it’s a
daily fact of life in Sumatra, In-
donesia. Sumatra’s rainforests are
disappearing at an alarming rate,
and leading the charge is Asia Pulp
& Paper (APP), which supplies
Strasburg, Virginia’s newly opened
Mercury Paper plant.
APP and the companies that sup-
ply it with wood for its paper prod-
ucts have destroyed critical habitat
for tigers and elephants, displaced
indigenous communities who have
lived of the land for hundreds of
years, and clearcut forests contain-
ing some of the world’s richest bio-
logical diversity.
All told, APP and its suppliers
have chain-sawed and bulldozed
their way through the heart of Su-
matra, causing the destruction of
nearly fve million acres of rainfor-
est -- an area more than 25 times
the size of Shenandoah National
Park. Tat’s roughly one-third of
all the forested land in Virginia.
And some of the pulp that APP
makes from this destructive har-
vest is shipped to Mercury Paper,
where it is processed into toilet pa-
per under the brand names Paseo
and Livi.
In addition, the company was
delisted from the New York and
Singapore stock exchanges a de-
cade ago after defaulting on $13.9
billion in loans from numerous
fnancial institutions – the largest
private default in history up until
that time. And in 2008, a US Fed-
eral judge ordered APP to pay back
more than $100 million of that debt
to the taxpayer-funded US Export-
Import Bank. (A debt that is still
partially outstanding.)
Indonesian and international
human rights and environmen-
tal groups have campaigned for
years to get APP to respect envi-
ronmental standards and protect
the rights of indigenous people.
World Wildlife Fund even joined
with APP to help it improve its
forestry practices, but was forced
to disengage when it became clear
that the company was refusing to
implement even the most basic en-
vironmental standards.
Instead of changing its practices
on the ground, APP has launched
a multi-million dollar global public
relations and lobbying campaign
to tar its critics as environmental
extremists and paint itself as envi-
ronmentally responsible. Field sur-
veys and satellite imagery, howev-
er, expose this campaign for what
it is: pulp fction.
Now APP has its sights set on
becoming America’s top maker of
toilet paper. And central to that
plan is the recently opened Mer-
cury Paper processing plant that
employs over 100 people in a part
of the state hit especially hard dur-
ing the economic downturn.
Because of Mercury Paper’s im-
portance to the local economy
there are understandable concerns
when allegations of environmental
abuses are raised. Te recent high-
profle cancellations of orders
from companies such as Kroger
and Food Lion have raised anxiety
about the future of Mercury Pa-
per.
WWF does not want to shut
down Mercury Paper or elimi-
nate a single job in Virginia. But
we do want APP, the giant Asian
conglomerate supplying paper to
Mercury, to stop destroying the
rainforests of Sumatra and respect
the local Indonesian communities
who depend on the health of those
forests for their own livelihoods.
Specifcally, we want APP to stop
all clearance of natural forests in
Sumatra and restrict new planta-
tions to areas that have already
been cleared, are truly degraded
or are of no value to biodiversity
conservation – all viable options
for the company. In addition, APP
should submit its operations to a
truly independent, third-party as-
sessment.
Hundreds of logging and other
paper products companies around
the world, including many in In-
donesia, are already doing this by
adopting the environmental and
human rights standards advocated
by the Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC), which certifes sustainably
sourced wood products.
Mercury Paper enjoys an idyllic
location in picturesque Strasburg,
in the shadow of Appalachia’s lush
forests and mountains. It’s a jarring
contrast to the millions of acres of
devastated forests created by APP
and its suppliers in Sumatra. So the
next time the citizens of Shenan-
doah County go hiking and enjoy
their region’s abundant plants and
wildlife, they should consider ask-
ing their newest corporate neigh-
bor to help the citizens of Central
Sumatra do the same.

Newtown history center to make the
case for museums on Capitol Hill
Smith, executive director and curator of the Newtown History Center,
along with Eldred, the museum’s manager of collections and programs,
will travel to the nation’s capital February 27-28 to make the case for
museums with Virginia’s congressional delegation. Tey will be one of
more than 300 museum professionals from across the country who will
participate in Museums Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill, an annual event
orchestrated by the American Association of Museums (AAM).
According to Smith, he and his fellow amateur lobbyists will be ex-
ercising a right guaranteed by the Constitution, that of petitioning the
government about issues of concern.
“I am anxious to get to Washington to let our elected leaders know
how local history museums are vital to smaller communities of this na-
tion, and particularly right here in the Valley of Virginia,” said Smith.
“Local history museums are essential elements in America’s educational
infrastructure. Tey are essential parts of the economic engines that will
help to revitalize older “Main Street” communities like Stephens City.
Once revitalized, historic downtowns can generate valuable tax dollars
for local government cofers, and they become the centers of a commu-
nity’s identity and culture. For these and many other reasons, local his-
tory museums merit strong federal support.”
Smith cited the many benefts the Newtown History Center brings to
Stephens City and the lower valley region. In addition to the Newtown
History Center’s museum galleries and exhibition buildings, Smith dis-
cussed the school outreach programs they ofer including the “Old Tools
as Simple Machines” presentation for 3rd graders who are preparing for
Virginia’s Standards Of Learning exam. Smith also addressed the role
that he and other members of the organization have played in local his-
toric preservation eforts.
Tis is emblematic of what museums contribute to communities na-
tionally. According to AAM, museums invest more than $2 billion an-
nually in education programs, and welcome some 55 million schoolchil-
dren each year. And a study by the U.S. Council of Mayors reported that,
for every tax dollar invested in museums, $7 is returned to local govern-
ments. Another study by the federal Institute of Museum and Library
Services found that museums - along with libraries - are the information
sources most trusted by the American people.
Smith and Eldred will be sharing these and other facts about museums
with Virginia’s federal representatives.
“In these times of tightening budgets, it is more important ever that
museums share with Congress the value we bring to communities ev-
erywhere,” said Smith. “Every tax dollar invested in museums pays big
dividends, in our education system, in generating economic growth and
maintaining our economic competitiveness, and in our overall quality of
life.”

Now I know (And you do, too)
By Jonathan Bennett
Frederick County Report
Saturday, 7 pm.
I’m hungry and don’t feel like cook-
ing. I’m lying on the couch staring at
the carpet on my foor. Te carpet is
thin and shiny, the shag reduced to a
threadbare afterthought of its former
cushy self from years of spilled drinks
and a dweller who never leaves his
shoes at the door. I need a new foor.
Doesn’t necessarily have to be carpet
this time, though. But frst, I need to
eat. Where? Do I want it delivered so I
don’t have to put shoes on at all? I de-
cide to go out so I don’t have to look
at the foor while I eat. Before I do, I
check my email. I haven’t checked it
all day. My computer’s been running
slow and every time I think of buying
one, I hesitate, waiting for a good deal
on one to materialize from nowhere
like silicon vapor. Surely someone
nearby wants to unload a laptop on
the cheap, one capable of starting
a Youtube video in less time than it
takes to brew a pot of cofee…
I delete unopened emails with titles
concerning orthotic supports and la-
crosse scores and getting my whites
their whitest until I get to one from
my editor. Something about a web-
site called Biddinhole and would
I like to write something about it?
Sure, I write back. I don’t know what
Biddinhole is but I’ll look into it. For
now, I know that I’m hungry and I
know that if this computer doesn’t
hurry up and send this email through
I’m going to accidentally smash it on
the foor, the one that needs made
over anyway. I also now know that
sometimes, circumstances converge
for no apparent reason. As it turns
out, Biddinhole can help me fnd
deals on foors and food and pc’s. No,
I don’t think that’s a bit of a stretch.
Here’s how:
Last year, Biddinhole.com was
started by Greg Steadman with the
help of Jef Surratt and David Ritter.
Te website provides a forum for
businesses to list coupons and vouch-
ers for use in their at their establish-
ments, with the website itself taking
a ffteen percent cut of whatever the
businesses sell on the site. Te kicker
is that it costs nothing for a busi-
ness to advertise on Biddinhole—it’s
completely free, so Biddinhole only
makes money if their clients do. Tis
model creates a no-risk advertising
option for small businesses always
on the lookout for ways to get their
name out but have limited means
to do so. “One thing we try to con-
vey to proprietors,” says Jef, “is that
they can ofer promotions or spe-
cials for certain, slower times of the
week. On top of getting more people
in the door on these days, it might
even make people go out when they
normally wouldn’t, or change their
plans so they can take advantage of
a good deal.” Te three owners and
operators of Biddinhole are all Win-
chester/Frederick County residents,
and they want their online auction to
beneft local businesses and consum-
ers. Also, their business sense tells
them that philanthropic eforts for
local non-profts are a good way to
gain a foothold in the local economy
while giving back to the community
that’s helping get their venture of
the ground; one of the frst organiza-
tions they worked with was Habitat
for Humanity. H4H lists items for
sale from its Restore in Winchester,
and when an auction is over and
the items are sold, the Restore gets
to keep all of the money. “Any non-
proft enterprise that wants to utilize
Biddinhole doesn’t have to pay us,”
says Jef. “Youth sporting leagues can
sell tickets, the Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts can use us for their fundrais-
ing eforts, even churches can put
items on the site and the congrega-
tion to bid on them.” Te site has been
up and running for nearly a year, but
Jef and his partners are aiming for a
second-quarter 2012 ofcial launch
date. ‘Once you’ve signed up, you can
sell or bid. Ten, say, connect with
friends on Facebook and they can get
in on an auction. It’s more business
for local businesses.”
A local business like, say, 147 North
in Winchester. Word around the
campfre was that 147 (in the space
that formerly housed Tippy’s Tacos)
had good crab dip, and since I love
crab dip, it seemed to be the next
right thing. Te name of the place
is also its address on North Loudon
Street on the Old Town Mall. A DJ
was setting up for later festivities and
the place had that early weekend-
evening hum I’ve come to recognize
from years of working in restaurants
and bars, an almost palpable feeling
that the staf, front and back of the
house, won’t stand still more than fve
seconds at a time for hours to come. I
liked the low-key dimness and warm
147 North, on the historic Old Town Mall, is looking
forward to spring so customers can take advantage
of their outdoor seating.

wooden décor that welcomed me
from the damp chill of the walking
mall; time to get out of my wet jacket
and into a dry merlot, or something.
I was greeted by owner/manager
Lori Tompson, who took over as
sole owner in January and set out to
“make the place into a local-friendly,
neighborhood restaurant and bar
with good food and entertainment,”
she told me. After some renovations
to streamline the kitchen and din-
ing room, she and sauté chef Tadd
Pingle tweaked the menu (diverse,
to be sure, and they kept the tacos;
I ordered the grilled chicken soft ta-
cos—delicious) to add some of the
recipes she’s carried with her over
the years, like the aforementioned
crab dip (warm with lots of chunky
crabmeat and pita bread to scoop
with—try it) and the rotating lineup
of cheesecakes, which she learned
to make from her mother. Tat Lori
now owns a restaurant is only ftting.
“I’ve been working in this industry
for years,” she told me. “I started bus-
sing tables at Winchester Country
Club when I was a teenager. Cork
Street Tavern, Sweet Caroline’s, Te
Charles Washington Inn in Charles
Town, to name a few.” (Sidenote: I
can vouch for her knack for making
guests feel welcome; when I and two
associates sat down, she brought us
small bowls of a pork soup they had
just made, compliments of her and
147, for us to try. Tis was before I
told her I’d be writing about her res-
taurant.) Along the way, she attended
college at Shepherd and Lord Fairfax,
studying accounting (somewhat han-
dy in running a business) and work-
ing in restaurants, but her most in-
valuable lessons came, she says, from
her parents. “My parents helped a lot
of people and taught us kids how to
help ourselves. I learned a lot about
how to balance work and life from
them, a lot of good lessons.” 147
North is open Monday thru Satur-
day, 11-2am, and Sunday 12pm-2am.
Tere’s karaoke every Wednesday,
and either a band, open mic, or a DJ
on Fridays and Saturdays. Find 147
North on Facebook for happenings
and specials or call 540-313-4083,
or just go there like I did. It’s located
at…really?
Ok. So now I know a good place to
eat and hear live music and indulge
in that most benevolent of pastimes,
dollar drafts. I also know where I
might fnd good deals on that place
and others like it, but you still want
(need) to know what I’m doing about
my foor situation. Te suspense is
more than you can bear. As it turns
out, a twice-removed acquaintance
of a friend of mine heard about my
plight and relayed a message back to
me about a place here in town.
Just of route 11 in Kernstown
Commons, Royal Floors has been
providing customers with any and all
types of fooring for about a year now.
Owner Ken Shakibnia opened his
Winchester store “because I wanted
to expand into what I perceived to be
a growing area,” he says. He also runs
his fagship store in Reston, while a
business partner handles the one
Manassas. “Winchester, particularly
this end of town, seemed like it was
always changing, growing,” he says.
“But we’ll travel most anyplace a cli-
ent needs us to.” By we, he means
himself and store manager Tony
Conklin, who works in the showroom
with customers, handles new and ex-
isting accounts, and does estimates
on projects large and small. When
preparing a new customer’s estimate,
Tony encourages customers to fnd
a balance between practicality and
aesthetics. “I’ll ask things like, ‘Are
you replacing a foor or building a
new one? Maybe most important is,
what’s the trafc like where this foor
is going—how many people, any pets,
that sort of thing.” After determining
a client’s budget and answering a few
simple questions, the guys at Royal
can then recommend a type of foor
from the many they ofer, like ceram-
ic tile, vinyl, diferent grades of car-
pet, hardwood, linoleum, and more.
“Sometimes, we get do-it-yourself-
ers who’ve already taken measure-
ments and know what they need,”
says Tony. “So we’re adding a space
in the store that caters to them.” Tis
addition, scheduled to be completed
in the next month, will provide car-
pet remnants available for cash-and-
carry. And though the focus at Royal
is on foors, they also deal in granite
and marble countertops. “People
have come in for fooring,” says Ken,
“then seen some of the countertops
we have, and realize that their proj-
ect would look even better if they can
match the two.” Quality products sold
and installed by a knowledgeable, ex-
perienced staf at prices that make
customers realize this is the last stop
they need to make—it’s a pretty good
business model, I think, one carefully
maintained by Ken over thirty years
in the foor business. Visit the store
at 226 Kernstown Commons Blvd.
in Winchester, the Web at www.roy-
alfoorsandbeyond.com, or call 540-
868-0050.
So I said sometimes circumstances
converge. Ten I said how. Tree
things (computer, dinner, the foor)
that seemingly have nothing to do
with one another become a common
thread in an article that, for a time,
was going to be three articles. Which
would have been fne with me, f-
nancially speaking, but not as cool
to write. Go to 147 and try the crab
dip. Go see Tony at Royal Floors.
And check out Biddinhole for ways
to support the local economy. As an
added bonus, mention this article
and get…a somewhat enthusiastic
“Oh yeah, that guy…”

Middletown
An uncivil war brews in Middletown, Va.
By Sue Golden
Frederick County Report
Middletown’s government seems
no closer to resolving its diferences.
Te last town council meeting was
extremely contentious, with Mayor
Mark Brown threatening to have
Councilor Mark Davis removed. Te
Mayor also threatened to sue Coun-
cilor Carl H. Bernhards, Jr. New
procedures instituted by the mayor
caused a ruckus when he disallowed
the treasurer’s report.
An executive session was held
over the resignation of Zoning Ad-
ministrator Fred Wharton. During
the session, it was agreed that Mr.
Wharton would stay on at $25 per
hour, but not as part of the Planning
Commission.
At the meeting, nothing was
unanimously agreed upon, not even
the agenda. Te mayor issued let-
ters, through Chief of Police Phil
Breeden, to the members of the
Planning Commission, instituting
a new Comprehensive Plan Review
Committee, meeting every morn-
ing, six days a week, at 9 a.m., “until
the review is completed and any and
all amendments made.”
So what is the problem? Each indi-
vidual involved in the process seems
to have their own theory. Tere are a
number of hot button issues. Tere
is disagreement over what to do, and
how to do it. Tere are personality
conficts. Tere are factual issues.
Tere are theoretical issues. Like
Democrats and Republicans, both
sides appear set in stone and deter-
mined to win.
Planning Commission
Te struggle over the planning
commission and the comprehen-
sive plan, which is the domain of a
committee appointed by the plan-
ning commission, is one of the most
controversial issues at the moment.
Te mayor is accusing the commis-
sion of dereliction of duty under the
Code of Virginia. Te commission
believes it has, and continues to,
fulfll its mission and that the mayor
is out of line in both his accusations
and actions. Te theoretical line of
demarcation was made very clear in
the debate over the Dollar General
Store. Te commission voted against
the Dollar General not once, but
twice. Te council voted for the Dol-
lar General. Te commission wants
to follow the town’s comprehensive
plan; that theory does not include
a Dollar General on that portion of
Main Street. Te polar argument is
that Middletown needs businesses
and tax dollars; thus, a Dollar Gen-
eral.
Water and Sewer Rates
Tere are all kinds of pitfalls in
this debate. Some, like Councilor
Donna M. G. Gray, generally decline
rate increases because there are so
many expenses for residents already.
Others believe the water increases
from Winchester need to be passed
along. But how do you pass it along?
A straight increase? Recalculate in-
cluding already built in reserves?
Do water and sewer stay together,
letting water help pay for sewer?
Middletown resident Susan Chewning spoke at the
Middletown Town Council meeting. “The town water
rate should only pay for water and sewer, not town
services.”
The Frederick County Report remains popular with
Middletown residents.

Should the water rate also pay for
other town services? Not only can’t
the parties agree on how to resolve
the issue, they can’t even agree on
what the actual underlying fgures
are.
At Tuesday’s committee meeting,
Sheryl Stephens of Draper Alden
Associates gave an hour long pre-
sentation on setting water rates. Te
presentation included a pamphlet
containing all of the water rates in
Virginia. According to a quick cal-
culation by Councilor Bernhards,
the current rates Middletown is
charging for both both water and
sewer is in the top twenty highest in
the state.
Budget Issues
Views on the budget range from
the sky is falling, to everything is
fne. In a recent meeting, the mayor
said the fnances were so dire that
employees might be let go. But in a
recent interview, Councilor Charles
H. Harbaugh, IV took a more mod-
erate view. He believes the mayor’s
belief came from a simple error; the
mayor was looking at the requested
amount instead of the approved
amount of a budget item. Te ap-
proved amount was over $200,000
less than the requested amount. Ac-
cording to Councilor Harbaugh, “we
are in better fnancial shape than
people realize. We know we can
count on a certain amount of money
coming in through taxes and other
revenue. What we have is a spend-
ing problem in town. We need a way
to work together to solve the prob-
lem.”
What can be done about all of
this? As Middletown resident Su-
san Chewning told the council at its
last public meeting “you must learn
to work together. You’re agenda is
to care about the citizens of Mid-
dletown. Tere are no kings, just a
mayor and council. Set priorities,
and take care of them.”
On a happier note, the July 4th
Committee will be having its second
annual car show on June 2nd.
All members of the council, the
mayor and the town manager were
contacted for this article.

“ANGELS HAVE COME HOME”
Ron Paul poised to win Virginia?
By Jonathan Lucci
Frederick County Report
A few weeks ago, it seemed that the
Republican Presidential contest was
all but over, with former Massachu-
setts governor Mitt Romney seem-
ingly in control after a strong win in
Florida. His main rival, Newt Gin-
grich, had been battered by a massive
assault of negative television ads and
it seemed Romney could fnally get
to the business of uniting his party
in preparation for a general elec-
tion against Barack Obama. But in
the past few weeks, everything has
changed.
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick
Santorum, whose campaign was
once thought to be politically dead,
won a string of contests in Colorado,
Missouri, and Minnesota. More
striking than the fact that he was able
to win these contests, is the fact that
he did so without spending the kinds
of money Romney and Gingrich have
spent for their past victories. Now
national polling has Santorum in the
lead, and competitive in Michigan
and Arizona, the next two primary
states.
Virginia voters will soon have their
say in the Republican contest, though
it will be a limited role because of
Virginia’s strict ballot laws that have
left only two candidates on the ac-
tual ballot. Virginia’s vote on Super
Tuesday, when 10 states will go to
the polls could have been crucial to
the process. However, Virginia Re-
publicans will choose between Mitt
Romney and Ron Paul, who leads an
impressive movement of libertarian
conservatives but has no real chance
of winning the nomination. Virginia
would be fertile ground for either
Newt Gingrich or the new supposed
conservative frontrunner Santorum,
but their campaigns were unable to
collect the signatures necessary to
get on the ballot, and write-ins are
not counted in Virginia.
Many Virginia Republicans are
frustrated that their state will have
such a limited role at a time when the
Republican nomination process is
so uncertain. Still, Virginia is hardly
considered favorable ground to Mitt
Romney and Ron Paul could see Vir-
ginia as an opportunity for a symbol-
ic victory by capturing a signifcant
amount of the vote here. If his well-
organized and fairly well-funded
campaign can do well here in Virgin-
ia, it could hurt Romney’s campaign
image, particularly if Santorum and/
or Gingrich can defeat him in other
important states. Romney’s defeat
in states like Georgia, Tennessee,
and Ohio look very possible and any
struggle that Romney shows in Vir-
ginia against Paul would signifcantly
add to the narrative that Romney’s
campaign is collapsing. Terefore,
instead of playing a key role on Su-
per Tuesday, Virginia voters will play
a supporting role. However, that role
could be signifcant in a race that to
this point has been as unpredictable
as any Presidential nominating con-
test in recent memory.

Capital News Service
RICHMOND – A House sub-
committee has defeated a Sen-
ate-approved bill that would have
permitted hunting on Sundays in
Virginia.
A subcommittee of the House
Agriculture, Chesapeake and Nat-
ural Resources Committee recom-
mended Wednesday that Senate
Bill 464 be tabled.
Te bill, sponsored by Sen. Ralph
Northam, D-Norfolk, would have
allowed hunting on Sundays on
private property by the landown-
ers, their immediate family or peo-
ple who have written permission
from the landowners.
At Wednesday’s meeting of the
Natural Resources Subcommittee,
Northam proposed an amendment
to limit Sunday hunting to state or
federal military bases and wildlife
management areas.
Terrie Suit, Virginia’s secretary of
veterans afairs and homeland se-
curity, was among the proponents
of SB 464. She spoke in favor of the
bill.
“Military installation representa-
tives expressed informally that this
would be benefcial to the military
bases,” Suit said. “Tere is already
shooting occurring on Sundays at
these installations. Tis would just
allow them to shoot at something
that could perhaps beneft the din-
ner table.”
A hunter from Amelia County
also supported the bill. He said he
has two children who are at an age
when they should learn to hunt.
However, because of work and
school schedules, the man said, it
is difcult for him to be available to
hunt on Saturdays.
Delegate Manoli Loupassi, R-
Richmond, also spoke in favor of
the measure.
“Hunting provides an opportunity
for children to get outside and see
that which they don’t normally see,”
Loupassi said.
Opponents of SB 464 gathered at
the subcommittee hearing to speak
out against the legislation.
“Sunday hunting has been pro-
moted as a property rights issue,
a hunting issue and a gun rights
issue,” said Will Shaw, a Louisa
County resident and member of
the National Rife Association. “I
submit that it’s really ‘a one-day-a-
week peace and quiet’ issue.”
Shaw said Sunday should be a day
for the community to share the
outdoors and for residents to feel
safe outside on their properties.
Current state law prohibits hunt-
ing on Sunday on public or private
land, declaring it a “rest day for all
species of wild bird and wild animal
life, except raccoons, which may be
hunted until 2:00 a.m. on Sunday
mornings.”
In January, the Senate passed SB
464 on a 29-11 vote and sent it to
the House for consideration.
Before the subcommittee voted,
Northam addressed the panel.
“Te tradition of hunting and
hunters is going away,” he said.
“It’s a tradition that I feel strongly
about – that we as hunters and as
outdoorsmen all need to work to-
gether to protect and promote.”
Delegate R. Lee Ware, R-Powhat-
an, chairs the subcommittee. First,
he called for a vote on the amend-
ment to limit Sunday hunting to
military bases and wildlife manage-
ment areas. Tat vote failed, 4-3.
Ten Ware called a vote on the
overall bill. It also failed, 4-3.

WINCHESTER. – Shenandoah
University has completed a ma-
jor expansion and update of the
website for its Blue Ridge Insti-
tute for Environmental Studies
(SU-BRIES). Founded in 1991,
SU-BRIES is a project of the uni-
versity’s Environmental Studies
Department. Te institute helps
to coordinate university proj-
ects related to environmental
research, sustainability and envi-
ronmental education.
A 2009 grant from the Virgin-
ia Environmental Endowment
funded the SU-BRIES website’s
initial development. Te recent
update was supported by private
gifts to Shenandoah University
for community outreach and
ecological research.
Te SU-BRIES website, www.
su.edu/su-bries, is an environ-
mental resource for the Shenan-
doah Valley region. Featuring
nearly 50 pages and more than
500 photographs, the website
provides the Environmental
Studies Department’s research
reports about water quality and
land protection, and contains
links to details about several of
the region’s environmental is-
sues. It also describes natural
places to visit in the Shenandoah
Valley, including those listed in
the department’s Winchester &
Frederick County – Naturally!
brochure.
Te website project has been a
collaborative efort. Dr. Wood-
ward Bousquet, professor of
Environmental Studies and Bi-
ology at Shenandoah University,
coordinated the website’s devel-
opment and updating. Marsha
Genthner, assistant director of
public relations provided exten-
sive advice and technical support,
while Eric Zimmerman of White
Spider Design, Inc., designed the
web page templates. Dr. Joshua
Kincaid, assistant professor of
Environmental Studies and Ge-
ography, prepared new maps of
the Shenandoah Valley region’s
watersheds. Several environmen-
tal studies students and alumni
contributed photographs.
Te website will be updated
periodically. Suggestions and
corrections are welcome and
should be directed to Bousquet
at [email protected].
Shenandoah University is the
private, nationally recognized
applied liberal arts institution,

I’m sure you’ve seen photos of those
picturesque covered bridges. It seems
that they would have provided a welcome
haven for people driving buggies caught
out in the rain. You may be surprised to
learn, though, that the bridges weren’t
designed with a roof for the comfort of
travelers. Being made of wood in an era
before protective sealants, the bridges
themselves needed to be protected from
the elements.

Most frogs lay their eggs in the water;
that way, when the tadpoles hatch they
are already in their element. Te red-eyed
tree frog, however, protects its eggs from
aquatic predators by attaching its eggs to
the underside of leaves that hang out over
a body of water. Once the eggs hatch, the
tadpoles fall into the water.

Te next time you travel to the United

In ancient Rome, it was widely believed
that holding in gas could cause a person to
catch a disease or become poisoned. Tis
was such a concern to public health that
Emperor Claudius went so far as to pass a
law making it legal to fart at banquets.

(c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc
By Samantha Weaver
To Tell, Or Not
If the diagnosis is Mild Cognitive
Impairment or Alzheimer’s disease,
would you want to be told? Does it
matter whether it’s about you, or about
a family member? Does that change
your mind?
Dozens of studies were brought
together to explore all facets of Mild
Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and
Alzheimer’s disease.
One of the studies revealed that
between 30 percent and 60 percent
of doctors don’t disclose a diagnosis
if it’s dementia for fear of causing ad-
ditional stress in both the patient and
the families.
But patients with MCI who already
have stress didn’t get any worse after
being told the diagnosis, and sometimes
the stress levels went down for both the
patients and their families. Families and
patients want to know that the memory
or behavior problems have a name, a
diagnosis. Tree-quarters of individuals
in another study said it was important
to know so they can explore all possible
treatments and plan for the future.
When it comes to Alzheimer’s, 93
percent of people want the diagnosis
disclosed if it’s about them. Te reasons
were possible early treatment and the
basic right to know, as well as planning
for assistance and learning to cope. But
only 76 percent of families felt that the
diagnosis should be revealed to the
patient -- which means there could be
Alzheimer’s patients who won’t get told,
if the families have their way.
Now the issue of labeling has taken
a turn: It’s been proposed that many
patients who’ve been diagnosed with
“very mild and mild” Alzheimer’s could
more rightly be labeled as having Mild
Cognitive Impairment, based on their
ability to carry out daily activities.

Hurricane Lamp
Q:
I have a hurricane lamp that
is inscribed on the underside
“L&LWMC 1973.” Can you please
identify it and give me the name
of a dealer who buys such lamps.
— Lloyd, Surprise, Ariz.
A:
Your lamp was manufactured
by Loevsky and Loevsky
White Metal Castings, a company
based in New Jersey that specialized
in reproduction lamps and fixtures. It
closed in about 1978. Your lamp was
made in 1973, and is, indeed, a repro-
duction and not rare. I have seen simi-
lar lamps at antique malls and in thrift
shops priced for less than $50.
***
Q:
I have a book in the “Tell a
Tale” series entitled “Little
Black Sambo.” I also have the
Viewmaster reel that goes with it.
Can you help me determine the val-
ue? — Florence in Dubuque, Iowa
A:
Before I answer your question,
let’s review a little literary his-
tory. The character of Little Black
Sambo was introduced in 1898 by
Helen Bannerman, the daughter of
a Scottish minister and the wife of a
surgeon in the British Army in India.
The story she wrote was set in India
and vividly describes a young boy’s
encounters with four tigers. The book
was so popular, she followed it with
three sequels: “Little Black Quibba,”
“Little Black Quasha” and “Little
Black Mingo.”
It wasn’t until the 1930s and ‘40s
that “Little Black Sambo” began to
take on negative racial connotations.
The book has gone through dozens
of editions, but I believe your “Tell
a Tale” version is probably from the
1950s. If so, it is worth about $25.
The reel you have might be valued
at about $10. One of my favorite ref-
erences in this field of collecting is
“The Art and History of Black Mem-
orabilia” by Larry Vincent Buster
(Potter, $34.95).
***
Q:
I would like to find the value
of an Alice Caviness neck-
lace that was given to me in 1957.
— Charlotte, Okeechobee, Fla.
A:
Janet Gaynor is the owner
of AZillion Sparklz and has
bought, sold and appraised vintage cos-
tume and fine estate jewelry for more
than two decades. She might be able to
help you determine the retail value of
your necklace. Her contact informa-
tion is P.O. Box 35038, Tucson, AZ
85740, and www.sparklz.com.

Why Purebreds Should
be Spayed, Neutered
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: In a
list of “responsible” things one
should do to their pets, you wrote
that owners should spay or neuter
them. Well, I own a purebred Ger-
man shepherd, and I think your
advice is just wrong for owners of
purebred pets. Maybe mongrels
from the shelter need to be spayed
and neutered but doing that to my
“shep” will alter his behavior. Plus
I plan to breed him. You should
rethink your advice. — Tom C.,
Roswell, Ga.
DEAR TOM: Nah, I don’t need to
rethink my advice. The vast majority
of pet owners in this country do not
need to be breeding their dogs or cats
for any reason.
There are, indeed, professional
breeders who do not spay or neuter
their dogs or cats, but responsible
breeders don’t just breed pets because
they have certification papers. They
have to select carefully so that harm-
ful traits (like hip dysplasia, a rampant
problem with German shepherds)
do not carry through to new genera-
tions. Some professionals only breed
working dogs, for police and military,
for example, and do not deal with the
public. Others are extremely selective
about whom their dogs go to. Many
will recommend that dogs not suited
to be bred be neutered or spayed.
Neutering your German shep-
herd may indeed cause behavioral
changes; in many dogs the procedure
reduces aggression. But you also
eliminate the risk of your dog getting
out and fathering a bunch of unwant-
ed puppies with, say, the owner of
different breed of dog who thought
her precious also was too special to
be spayed.
But you don’t have to believe me.
Talk to your dog’s vet, or to a pro-
fessional AKC-registered breeder
of German shepherds (learn more at
www.akc.org), and get the facts.
Send your questions or tips to ask@
pawscorner.com. For more pet care-
related advice and information, visit
