minutes. Bear sightings are more prevalent in the area this year than they have been in the past. Bockey also noted that a bear had been seen earlier in the year in the area of Comer Drive near High Point Truck Stop in Stephens City. Kehoe said he saw a bear recently as he was crossing North Mountain, which is west of Stephens City. Kehoe also noted that a bear had been seen near Hupps Hill in Strasburg. Bockey believes the bears are coming from the Passage Road area to the west of Stephens City where the land is more densely wooded. Citizens are asked to call the police if they see a bear. Bockey said people should keep their trash can lids on tight. The town of Stephens City has posted a notice on their website about bears being seen within the town limits. In the notice, police are asking citizens to put their trash out for pick-up in the morning instead of putting it out at night. According to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries website, black bear sightings are becoming more common due to the growing black bear population. Bears are also more visible to humans during years when the wild berry and nut crop is lower than normal. The best way to help keep bears away from residential areas is not to leave food out that attracts bears. According to the VDGIF, bears are most attracted to bird feeders, garbage and pet food but they may be attracted to other foods such as livestock food, compost and beehives. For those wildlife lovers who enjoy seeing black bears, they should know that according to the VDGIF, It is now illegal to deliberately feed bears on both public and private lands (Virginia Code: 4 VAC 15-40-281 and 4 VAC 15-40-282). For more information on how you can help prevent bear problems, visit the VDGIF website at dgif.virginia.gov. If you see a bear, call the Frederick County Sheriff s non-emergency line at 540-662-6162.

By Johnathan Lucci Frederick County Report Winchester City Council was given a briefing Tuesday evening on the possibility of an Air Force JROTC program at Handley High School in the future. The briefing was given by Councilman John Tagnesi, himself a retired Air Force Colonel. Tagnesi had previously given the same briefing to the school board and emphasized the key role that the school board and Council could play in the programs development.
He told Council members that the program has been a proven success at hundreds of other schools in the country, instilling motivation and discipline in students, as well as increasing their self esteem. He said that the Air Force also hopes the programs curriculum and structure would instill an interest in science and math. Tagnesi displayed the credo of the Winchester Public Schools and the mission statement of the Air Force JROTC and emphasized the degree to which the two overlap. He was insistent that

the program would enhance the ability of Handley High School to develop mature and driven young men and women. Students earn thousands of hours of community ser vice through JROTC, said Tagnesi in his presentation. He also told the members about some of the potential benefits for students wishing to join the military after high school. The military academies, including the Air Force Academy, leave a certain number of slots aside just for students involved in JROTC programs. Students who enlist after high school will receive quicker promotions upon entering the military if they were in a JROTC unit. Tagnesi also said that a survey of high school principals showed that attendance rates and graduation rates were significantly higher for JROTC cadets than for the average students. He informed Council that it would take a year from the moment Handley applied for the creation
Members of Winchester City Council look through paperwork during a work session on Tuesday. of the program until the Air Force would decide. More time would be needed to find an instructor. The operating costs would be paid for by the Air Force, as well as half of the instructors salary. The other half of that salary would be the responsibility of the school. Also at Councils meeting, the members heard the testimony of Chief of Police Kevin Sanzenbacher, who was petitioning Council to adopt an ordinance increasing the fees on taxi cab companies. The Chief informed Council that the police department is required to investigate the fitness of an applying taxi drivers and that the cost of doing so far outstrips the fee required for application. He also indicated that the increased fee would help cut down on some of the less legitimate taxi cab drivers. This will hopefully discourage some of the fly by night operators from coming into the city, said Chief Sanzenbacher.

By Amanda Iacone Virginia Statehouse News RICHMOND Trading in Virginias gas-guzzling fleet of trucks and cars for greener models will help improve the states air quality, put Virginians to work and even save tax dollars, Gov. Bob McDonnell says. We think Virginia is doing its part by converting from gasoline that comes in part from foreign countries to either natural gas or electricity or propane or hydrogen or some other fuel will show that were serious about American energy independence, McDonnell said Tuesday. The state plans to vastly expand the use alternative fuels, such as propane and natural gas, to power its 10,000-vehicle fleet and could seek proposals from suppliers and car manufacturers as early as this month. The proposals will help the state determine the cost of converting many of its trucks and cars to run on a fuel other than petroleum. Lawmakers threw their support behind converting the fleet during this past General Assembly session and also passed a bill that is expected to accelerate the use of electric vehicles by Virginia drivers. Tuesday, McDonnell signed
an executive order to begin this conversion process, which could begin within the year. Relying more on alternative fuels is part of McDonnells effort to make Virginia the energy capital of the East Coast. Although McDonnell advocates for offshore oil drilling, he also supports offshore wind farms as well as the expansion of nuclear power and research into energy produced by burning wood waste, manure and garbage, known as biomass. About 1,200 state vehicles run on E-85, which is ethanol blended with gasoline, and a handful of diesel trucks the Virginia Department of Transportation operates runs on biodiesel, said Mike Bisogno, fleet manager for the state Department of General Services.
The department operates 4,000 vehicles that various state agencies use. It spent $4.2 million on fuel during the past year an extra $33,000 of that was spent to buy more than 12,000 gallons of E-85 fuel, according to the state Department of General Services. But McDonnell said he wants state trucks and cars to run on compressed natural gas and propane gas fuels that are produced in the United States and even in Virginia in addition to E-85 capable cars, often referred to as flex-fuel cars. McDonnell said not all state vehicles will be converted, because some vehicles, like state police cars for example, may not be a good fit for alternative fuels. He acknowledged that the state would incur upfront costs for the vehicles and tanks as well as employee training, but the petroleum fuel savings will more than pay for the program. The cost to buy vehicles that can run on alternative fuels varies. Some vehicles could be converted to run on alternative fuels, such as propane, for about $10,000. A new electric Ford Focus would cost $20,000 to $30,000 more than a standard gas-fueled Focus, which can cost about $16,000, according to a Richmond Ford dealer who attended the executive
order signing Tuesday. Bisogno said there is no price difference between state vehicles that run on E-85 fuel and their petroleum-fueled counterparts. All states fleets are required to buy cars and light pickup trucks that can run on alternative fuels under federal law. Many states buy flex-fuel cars to meet the federal requirement, but they dont have to buy E-85, said Patrick OConnor, legislative counsel for the NAFA Fleet Management Association. The association represents fleet managers for utility companies, corporations plus local and state governments. Some states, like Utah and Florida, are using fuels like natural gas to run heavy-duty vehicles, like dump trucks or buses, OConnor said. Delegate Danny Marshall, RDanville, said he wanted to use natural gas and methane gas, which are produced in the southwest corner of the state. Its a win that the energy is created here, a win that the jobs are going to be created here. And the other wins is that we are not sending our money to the Middle East, Marshall said. I just think it makes a lot of sense. Marshall sponsored a bill calling for the administration to convert the fleet, the go-ahead
that McDonnell needed to move ahead. The plan passed through the Legislature easily with bipartisan support, and McDonnell ceremonially signed the bill into law Tuesday. Air pollution controls in Northern Virginia also prompted lawmakers to pass a bill that would allow retailers, like Kmart and Walmart, to offer charging stations for electric car drivers. McDonnell also ceremonially signed this bill into law Tuesday. Until now, only public utility companies could sell electricity. And a law change was needed to allow the retail charging stations, said Delegate David Bulova, DFairfax, who sponsored the bill. He said he wants to encourage more drivers to buy electric vehicles because they can run on energy produced in Virginia and create less pollution than gas-powered vehicles a key advantage for Northern Virginia, which does not meet air quality standards, Bulova said. None of this is possible, if the infrastructure doesnt exist to make electric vehicles practical and convenient, he said. McDonnell said he hopes the states investment in these new technologies will create the infrastructure needed to serve localities and Virginia motorists.

or door step to billboard. He said he wants to know if roads, like interstates, would count in that measurement. And they want to know if ABC will enforce the regulations or the Virginia Department of Transportation, which now regulates billboards, Dicks said. The companies also are waiting to find out if ABC will require a permit to post the alcohol ads. He said permits open the door to allow the state to approve the sign based on content and not whether it complies with the location requirements. On a practical level, advanced approval would be costly and tie up ABC officials and is not good governance, Dicks said. The idea was to create something clear, so you dont have to get permits every time you want to switch ads, he said. But despite the restrictions in place, some legislators still are concerned about the impact on young adults especially. Colleges and universities have enough problems with binge drinking, and allowing alcohol ads on billboards will only add to the temptation, said Delegate Bob Marshall, R-Prince William. The limitations on alcohol still serve a purpose and he said the legislation sets a precedent that could loosen restrictions on alcohol advertisements in general. Are there going to be ads in college newspapers for hard liquor and vodka? Marshall said.
pen here, he said. Lamars lawsuit focused on billboard advertising and so legislators had to provide flexibility in the law for that type of advertising, Oder said. We reinstated all of the regulations that ABC had discarded and then we put in very limited and strict provisions for outdoor advertising, Oder said. At the end of the day, I wish that ABC would hurry up and get their regulations passed. The state should have draft regulations available for public review this fall, said Kathleen Shaw, a spokeswoman for the ABC. And the states wine industry and billboard companies are watching closely to see what those regulations say. Some of the states wineries and vineyards may be interested in billboard advertising.

Beginning in July, contractors working for SVEC will be capturing GPS coordinates of all poles and underground enclosures in Frederick, Page, Warren, Clarke, and Higland counties and the city of Winchester, and all underground enclosures in Augusta, Shenandoah, and Rockingham counties. Vehicles of the contractors will be visibly marked with the traditional Cooperative logo and name. Gathering the GPS data is beneficial to you in several ways. The poles and underground enclosures will be more specifically mapped, which means more accurate engineering. The GPS information will also allow for outage information to be more precise, as locations will be more easily pinpointed with the new data.
Additionally, integration of the locations with other agencies (counties and 911 call centers) will be more accurate. You may notice these workers crossing through your yard to reach a pole or enclosure. These workers are there to record these GPS coordinates, and the process should take no longer than a couple of minutes at each location. In most cases, you will not have contact with the contractors. However, in some instances, such as a farm or home out in the country, they may knock on your door. Information about the GPS mapping will be available on our website, www.svec.coop, and you can also call your local SVEC telephone number for more information.

Last-Minute Vacations
If you didnt plan for a vacation this summer but are determined to get a break, its still possible even at this late date. In fact, the approaching end of summer might work in your favor as owners try to fill last-minute vacancies. Look for vacation rentals that are within a few hours drive of home. Youll save precious vacation time by not battling crowds and security at airports and wasting time in the air, not to mention saving money on airfare and transportation. Vacation rentals generally will accommodate your whole family and allow you to save money by cooking your own meals. Many provide laundry facilities. While you might think you want a place with activities suited to your interests, consider taking this opportunity to try something new. If youre into golf, go for a lakeside cabin that comes with fishing poles and a canoe. If you like water skiing, opt for a condo in an historic city for a change of pace. Go online to www.vacationhomerentals.com and click on your state. Youll find rentals categorized by county and town, with lots of photos
and descriptions. If a property sounds interesting, check the availability. For verification or to ask if there have been cancellations, contact the owner using the online form. Ask if any endof-season deals are available. Dont miss the Last Minute Deals link at the top of the main page. Check www.vacationrentals.com, and again click on your state. Youll be able to narrow your choices by date, reviews and whether the rental has a pool or allows pets. You can select multiple rentals to compare. Check the activities on each listing for local attractions. This site provides the owners name and telephone number, as well as an online contact form. If you want a lot of amenities, consider a timeshare rental. With timeshares, owners own a certain week or weeks each year when they have use of the accommodations. They cant always use those weeks and will rent out the property. Timeshares generally have a full menu of amenities, and many are luxurious resorts. Search online for timeshares in your state. Call the timeshare office directly, as its likely to have a list of rentals. As always, ask whether any discounts are available.

fun and games. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Most of the time you are the most unflappable person around. But be ready to be thrown off-balance in the nicest way when Cupid takes aim in your direction. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Its not often when someone tries to sting the sharp-witted Scorpion. But it can happen. Continue to be skeptical about anything that seems too good to be true. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your strong sense of self-esteem helps you serve as a role model for someone who needs personal reassurances. Your efforts pay off in an unexpected way. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Someone close considers revealing a painful secret. Withhold judgment. Instead, open your generous heart, and offer dollops of your love and understanding. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your talents as a peacemaker are called upon once more as an old problem re-emerges with new complications. Move cautiously in order to avoid falling into hidden traps. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your artistic side is enhanced with the reception given to your new project. Use this success as encouragement toward fulfilling your larger goals. BORN THIS WEEK: Your natural sense of leadership is combined with a deep sense of responsibility.
