Te Lynchburg Times
On September 29, Intercon, Inc. celebrat-
ed 25 years of business in an event attended
by Representative Bob Goodlatte, State
Senator Steve Newman and guests from the
Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce, Bed-
ford Business Development and Virginia
Technical Institute and the companys em-
ployees.
Intercon currently employees about 80
people at its 42,000 square foot facility in
Forest. Te company takes pride in being a
domestic manufacturer of custom cable as-
sembly and wire harnesses, while maintain-
ing a domestic supply chain.
Ted Counts is the owner of Intercon and a
veteran of the US Air Force.
Were a veteran owned company and we
take a lot of pride in doing business with our
fellow Virginians, said Joe Stephens, vice
president and general manager of Intercon.
Were pleased to see continued growth in
our business even during difcult times.
Intercon has seen a 25 percent growth in
sales in the past year. Te growth led to the
recent hire of several new employees and an
expanded a department.
Guests at the event took a tour of the fa-
cility and spoke with employees.
Goodlatte and Newman strongly support
domestic manufacturing. Te politicians
talked about the importance of keeping
jobs in the state as well as trying to boost
the employees morale during this uncer-
tain economy.
Our employees take pride in their work
and they are very proud to be contributing
to the stamp of quality that inherently goes
along with a made in the USA product, said
Stephens.
To end the event, Army National Guard
Sergeant Michael Hughes presented Ste-
phens and customer service manager Ali-
son Richardson with a letter of appreciation
and a cased American fag. Te letter com-
mended Intercons support of the sergeant
when he recently donated a kidney to a fel-
low soldier.
Intercon is currently pursuing new op-
portunities with Homeland Security and
military contractors within the defense,
avionics and aerospace industries.

Te Lynchburg Times
In a 4-3 vote October 11, the Lynchburg
City Council voted in favor of an ordinance
that will give city inspectors the rights to
obtain search warrants for suspected zon-
ing violations.
Te issue was frst brought to a public
hearing where 21 spoke against the issue
and 6 spoke in favor. Many who spoke in
opposition of the issue raised concerns
of constitutionality and rights to privacy.
Tose in favor argued that illegal boarding
homes are dangerous and lower property
values and without the new law, the city
does not have enough power to stop them.
Following the public hearing, each
councilmember carefully explained their
position on the subject. Te three coun-
cilmembers that voted to deny the resolu-
tion, Hundson H Cary, Jef Helgeson and
Turner Perrow, agreed that the ordinance
was excessive for the amount of problems
the city has had with zoning.
Councilmember Michael Gillette wor-
ried that many that spoke in opposition to
the law did not understand its details and
listed several misstatements. He went on to
conclude that the law did not give the zon-
ing ofcials more power, but instead aided
them in doing their jobs.
Councilmember Randy Nelson reminded
those in attendance that the vote was sim-
ply to reinstate a law that the city has used
for years. When the issue was frst brought
before council, Nelson purposed several
changes to protect tenants such as notice
before the property is searched.
Storm water fees
Te Lynchburg City Council voted Octo-
ber 25 to table the issue of storm water fees.
Te decision came after council was unable
to reach a consensus on how to raise rev-
enue to deal with upcoming regulations.
Te issue was put to the city in a public
hearing, which saw two speak in favor and
two against. Te council appeared to be
just as divided on the issue and after almost
an hour of debate decided to bring the issue
back in a future meeting.
GLTC funding
Te Greater Lynchburg Transportation
Company withdrew an October request for
city funding assistance in favor of service
reductions.
Te GLTC board decided to put aside
its request for $100,000 in relief from the
city following an October 11 council work
session in which council members raised
questions about the companys recent audit
fndings.
Te council revisited the issue on Oc-
tober 25 and some were pleased that the
board sought alternatives to city aid.
I am delighted that they did this and I
am glad they are not asking for their sub-
sidy, said Councilmember Jef Helgeson.
Vice Mayor Ceasor Johnson raised the
question of who would be afected by the
service cuts. One proposal would slow
the Lakeside Drive to Old Forest Road
and Langhorne to Hill Street routes from
every 30 minutes in peak hours to every
60. Te second purpose cut would elimi-
nate the Route 10 bus between Te Plaza
and Downtown. Other cuts would reduce
frequency on weekend routes from every
hour to every 120 minutes.
If enacted by the GLTC board, the pur-
posed cuts will go into efect on January 1
following a public hearing in November.

Divided council allows search

October November, 011 The Lynchburg Times Page Read every issue online at www.lynchburgtimes.com
By Emily Williams
Te Lynchburg Times
On Saturday morning, September 24, thou-
sands gathered in-front of EC Glass High
School for the Virginia 10-Miler. Clad in
sneakers and game-faces, the hoard descended
on the streets of the Hill City. Whether run-
ning the 4 miles, or in it for the entire 10-mile
race, it was clear that Lynchburgs runners are
numerous and motivated.
While some came from around the world to
race, the 10-miler also saw an impressive turn
out from local residents enthusiastic about
ftness and community. In fact, three of the
top ten racers in the 10-miler call the city of
Lynchburg home.
Placing second in the 10-mile race, with a
pace of just over 5 minutes a mile, was Ricky
Flynn. A Lynchburg College Alum and em-
ployee at Riverside Runners, Flynn is no
stranger to the citys running community. To
get an idea of how fast Flynn was running on
average over the whole 10-mile course, youd
have to turn the treadmill up to 12 mph. For
safety reasons, the Times of course does not
recommend heading down to the YMCA and
trying this.
In addition to the runners, an impressive
number of people participated in the four-
mile walk. Among them were a few familiar
faces from city hall. Standing out in bright
orange shirts, city employees and their fami-
lies turned-out to support Hill City in Motion.
Among the participants were council member
Hunsdon H Cary, Vice-Mayor Ceasor John-
son, and City Manager Kimball Payne.
Youve made a commitment to be an exam-
ple of health and wellness, said the announcer
before sending the walkers on their way.
Are you a runner or interested in becoming
a runner? Signing up for a race can be a great
motivator in your training. Not to mention,
the incredible energy and comradery of the
running community is enough to make any-
one want to strap on a pair of sneakers and hit
the path.
A great source for gear and information on
local races is Riverside Runners. Located in
an old white house on Riverside Avenue, this
shop is a great tool for both avid runners and
those hoping to get into the sport. Teir web-
site also hosts an impressive list of local races
ranging from 5 kilometer walk/jogs to the 10-
miler itself.
Tis year Holiday Lake will host its frst an-
nual 5k or 10k trail race. Te course will circle
around the lake and is a great introduction to
trail running. Te race is Saturday November
5 and begins at 9 am.
For those hoping to get a little exercise be-
fore Tanksgiving dinner, theres the Novem-
ber 24 Turkey Trot 5K. Organized by the Pres-
byterian Homes and Family Alliance and the
race will take place in Lynchburgs Downtown
on Tanksgiving morning.
One notorious Lynchburg race is the Riv-
erfront Challenge. In its second year, the De-
cember 10 Footrace Frenzy is a four-mile race
with a twist. Runners make their way along
the Percival Island trail. Two miles in, runners
will eat four cups of ice cream, before making
their way back to the beginning of the course.
Not an easy task, even before considering the
cold temperatures of December.
No matter your skill level or speed, Lynch-
burg has a race that will get you moving. What
better way to get ft than to join the local run-
ning community.

Te Lynchburg Times
Te leaves are dropping from the trees and
you may have already pulled out your winter
coats, but dont pack up you tents and tarps
just yet. With bugs and tourists gone till the
spring, winter may just be the best season to
camp in Virginia.
If you are unfamiliar with Old Dominions
collection of state parks, its time to head over
to the Department of Conservation and Rec-
reations website and check them out. From
history to hiking and from boating to birding,
theres an activity to please just about every
palate.
In addition to day use, many of the parks
also ofer overnight facilities. Tese range
from rustic camping to electricity and water
hook ups for your RV to cabins, lodges and
even some yurts.
For those of you not ready to rough it, but
still looking for an afordable weekend get-
away, some of the parks ofer fully-loaded cab-
ins. Many of the cabins have electricity and
climate controls and start at just under $60 a
night for the of-season, December through
March excluding holidays.
But if you want to get back to nature and
have never tried winter camping dont be
intimidated! While there are some risks to
camping in the colder months, we are lucky
to fnd ourselves in state where temperatures
stay above freezing for most of the year.
Before you grab your tent and go, however,
there are some things you need to know.
First of, know the facilities at your camp-
ground. Some parks will shut-of water spigots
in the winter to protect against frozen pipes. A
good rule of thumb is to pick up one or two
2.5 gallon bottles of water. Tese containers
are rectangular with pour spouts and ft nicely
on a picnic table bench.
When it comes to clothing, layers are your
friend. It is smart to opt for synthetics and
wool over cotton which is slow to dry and pro-
vides little insulation when wet. Animal fbers,
such as wool, however are designed to keep
mammals warm even when wet. Good poly-
pro or silk long underwear doubles as toasty
pajamas and protection against the cold out-
side.
Also when deciding on your camping ward-
robe, dont forget to pack a rain/snow layer.
Weather can change suddenly and you cant
stay in your tent forever. Speak-
ing of tents, before heading out into the ele-
ments make sure to re-evaluate how well your
tent keeps the moisture out. While wet gear
while camping in the summer is uncomfort-
able, it can become dangerous in the winter.
A good rule of thumb when it comes to tents
in winter camping is smaller is better. Consid-
er how fast it takes your car to warm up on
the way to work versus how long it takes the
thermostat in your house to rise after having
the heat of. Your primary source of heat in
your tent will be you, though bringing along
a dog and other people certainly helps. With
a small tent, and a good sleeping bag, youll be
amazed at how toasty you are when the sun
hits your tent in the morning.
Last but certainly not least, make sure your
sleeping bag is ready to protect you from the
cold. A good sleeping bag will have a rating
letting you know how comfortable you will be
in which temperatures. While a 30-degree bag
might be great for the chillier spring or sum-
mer nights, for winter camping you may want
to opt for a 0 to 15-degree sleeping bag. Also
familiarize yourself with the mummy-style
sleeping bag which cinches up around you
head so only your face is showing.
Next is the fun part, deciding where to go.
Te joys of Virginias winter camping
A spectacular view from James
River State Park.
October November, 011 The Lynchburg Times Page Read every issue online at www.lynchburgtimes.com
Lynchburg is surrounded by a bunch of great
State Parks. Te only trouble is picking just
one to visit.
Staunton River State Park may have seen ex-
tensive damage from the tornados that hit the
area this year, but as of late October many of
the trails are open and the campground is up
and running.
Located an hour and a half outside of Lynch-
burg just of 501 south, the park overlooks the
Staunton River and Buggs Island Lake. Te
park boasts a pool and a boat launch for sum-
mer visitors, but a trip in the ofseason reveals
sun flled felds fanked in fery leaves that give
way to incredible views of the river.
Perhaps the biggest draw in the winter is the
parks 12-miles of trails, which are horse, bike
and hiker friendly. If you like to go the dis-
tance, the 8.3 mile River Bank trail is diverse
both in vistas and terrains. While the trail can
get swampy in the warmer months, winter en-
thusiasts are rewarded with no bugs.
While Stauntons campground may have lost
many trees to the tornados, the thinned forest
has made way for some sites with great views
of the river. Another plus to winter camping;
less people equals more sites to choose from
which means those scenic sites could be yours
even without a reservation.
For the history lovers, 20 minutes down the
road from the campground is the Staunton
River Battlefeld. Tis park was the site of a
civil war stand-of in which a handful of Con-
federates warded of 5,000 Union soldiers to
defend a strategically important bridge. Home
to regular Civil War re-enactments, the park
also includes a visitor center, gift shop, picnic
shelters and trails.
If you are into roughing it, but still value an
outhouse, James River State Park is your best
bet. While James River has cabins, lodges and
campsites with hook-ups, it is the primitive
sites that will win over the true tent campers
heart. Te Branch Pond section of the camp-
ground is lake adjacent which makes for nu-
merous wildlife sittings.
James River has over 15 miles of trails. While
they are largely fat, the trails ofer one of the
best views out there of the river, gorgeous
felds, and several river bank sections that are
great for looking for animal tracks.
Word on the street is that James River State
Park also has a great collection of Geocaches
too just dont tell the Muggles!
For the civil war bufs in the family, James
River State Park is around the corner from
historic Appomattox.
Whether looking for adventure, or just
wanting to get out of the house for the week-
end, give winter camping a try. It is a great
activity to fll you Virginia winter stay-cation
with nature and fun.

Virginia Statehouse News
Payday lender and title loan compa-
nies have launched a full-court press
ahead of the upcoming General Assem-
bly session to protect their businesses
statewide.
Teyve hired lobbyists and contrib-
uted to state Senate and House of Del-
egates candidates ahead of the Nov. 8
General Election. All 140 seats in both
chambers are up for grabs.
Most companies are based out of state
and have given more than $220,000 to
Republican and Democrat campaigns,
according to the Virginia Public Access
Project, or VPAP, a nonproft that dis-
seminates election fnancing informa-
tion from the State Board of Elections.
Tey have focused their largest dona-
tions to party leaders and caucus cam-
paign funds money the parties use to
support various candidates statewide.
Virginia law does not limit how much
donors can give to candidates.
No way I would keep their money,
because there is no way I would sup-
port their issue, said Delegate Harvey
Morgan, R-Gloucester, who has fought
to repeal the 2002 law that allowed pay-
day lenders and car title loan compa-
nies to set up shop in Virginia.
During 2002 and 2003, Morgan re-
ceived $2,000 from payday lender Ad-
vance America Cash Advance, accord-
ing to VPAP records.
Payday lenders charge fees of 20 per-
cent the value of the loan plus interest
rates of up to 36 percent, Morgan said.
Te Gloucester Republican said he be-
lieves payday-loan companies are plan-
ning to defend against attempts to limit
their fees and interest rates and moving
to rollback regulations in the upcoming
session of the Legislature.
In July, the law regulating title-loan
companies was expanded to allow out-
of-state car owners to secure money for
their titles
My guess is that they know the tre-
mendous force out there trying to undo
some of the damage that has been done
to make it better for individuals and not
so lucrative for those who would prey
on people, Morgan said.
State Sen. Tommy Norment, R-James
City, agrees that the issue of capping
interest rates likely will come up again
during the 2012 session, which begins
Jan. 11. Since the regulations were frst
adopted in 2002, legislators have debat-
ed the payday lender law every year, he
said.
A spokesman for the payday-loan
industry said it is providing a needed,

economical and regulated service for
consumers. Eforts to cap interest rates
at 36 percent, spread over a two-week
loan, would make it impossible for the
companies to pay their employees and
their rent, forcing them out of busi-
ness, said Jamie Fulmer, vice president
of public afairs with Advance America
Cash Advance.
During the past few years, industry
critics have actively sought to eliminate
payday lenders from Virginia, Fulmer
said.
We always seek to be part of the po-
litical process in the states in which we
operate so we can educate the policy-
makers on the products and services
that we ofer, Fulmer said.
Norment defended accepting money
from payday lenders, saying that peo-
ple and businesses that contribute to
his campaign are contributing toward
good government. Norment received
$5,150 from payday lenders, according
to a Virginia Statehouse News analysis
of the campaign fnance reports.
Unfortunately, the structure in this
country is that the First Amendment al-
lows politicians to raise as much money
as they can. When youre a part-time
citizen legislator, thats a little challeng-
ing. Te cost of campaigns has gone up
remarkably, Norman said. So it doesnt
matter whether its a highway contrac-
tor or a payday lender or a health-care
provider or a construction company of
prisons. Tey make political contribu-
tions but it doesnt buy access and it
doesnt buy votes.
State Sen. Dick Saslaw, D-Fairfax, the
majority leader, accepted $20,000 from
payday lenders, according to VPAP re-
cords. Both Saslaw and Norment are
responsible for their caucus campaign
accounts, which received the lions
share of contributions from the indus-
try.
As long as its reported, I dont have a
problem with campaign contributions,
Saslaw said in response to a question
about his stance on payday lending.
Campaign contributions tend to let
people know who you are and probably
help your access. But under no circum-
stances should it ever buy your vote.
Ever.
Saslaw introduced the bill that ex-
panded the reach of the car title loan
businesses this year.
Te two largest campaign contribu-
tors, according to VPAP, were:
Anderson Financial, of Alpharetta,
Ga., which operates LoanMax retail
lenders throughout Virginia. Te com-
pany directed $86,950 to 11 legislative
candidates and six political action com-
mittees, including the Senate Demo-
cratic Caucus, Republican House and
Senate caucuses and House Speaker Bill
Howells Dominion Leadership Trust.
Atlanta-based Community Loans of
America, which contributed a total of
$49,691 this year to more than three
dozen candidates.
State Sen. John Watkins, R-Pow-
hatan, received $1,000 from Commu-
nity Loans. He said he does not want to
eliminate the payday lenders, because
they provide safeguards to struggling
consumers who otherwise would resort
to borrowing money illegally from loan
sharks.
He said hes received similar dona-
tions from similar companies in the
past.
You have to raise money to run a
campaign. I hear their arguments. I
dont have a predetermined outcome,
Watkins said.
Other contributors, according to
VPAP, were:
TitleMax, of Savannah, Ga., which
gave $29,356, including donations to
Delegate Tim Hugo and Gov. Bob Mc-
Donnells Opportunity Virginia PAC.
Check into Cash, of Cleveland, Tenn.,
which contributed $36,200 to candi-
dates of both parties, including Del-
egate Jackson Miller, R-Manassas, and
state Sen. Toddy Puller, D-Fairfax.
CheckSmart Financial Co., of Dublin,
Ohio, which gave $9,000 to four candi-
dates plus the Republican House cau-
cus.
Advance America Cash Advance, of
Spartanburg, S.C., which contributed
$7,900 to seven candidates and the Vir-
ginia Legislative Black Caucus
Payday lenders and car title loan com-
panies operate several hundred retail
outlets throughout Virginia, according
to the State Corporation Commission.

Child Identity Theft
More than 8 million people are victimized by iden-
tity theft each year. Just when you thought youd cov-
ered all the bases in protecting yourself, thieves have
come up with a new target that most families dont
think about: children.
According to a news release from the National
Foundation for Credit Counseling, more than half of
child identity-theft victims are under the age of 12.
A 9-year-old was in debt collection. The largest debt
was nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. A 2-
year-old was in bankruptcy. And the youngest victim
was 5 months old.
As usual, it begins with the Social Security number.
It will be years before a child applies for credit, or
goes to college or needs any government benefits,
so the theft might not be noticed.
Your child might be a victim of identity theft if you
receive bills in your childs name, or tax papers, traf-
fic tickets or lien notices, or if your child cant get a
drivers license because the number is already being
used. A pre-approved credit-card offer isnt neces-
sarily a red flag unless accompanied by other indi-
cations. (Unless you have strong reason to suspect
theres been identity theft, dont check your childs

Go to the Identity Theft Resource Center (www.
idtheftcenter.org) and put child in the search box.
Look for Fact Sheet 120. (Dont miss Fact Sheet
120B -- A Guide for Parents.)
According to the Identity Theft Resource Center,
here are some ways to keep your child safe from
identity theft:
-- If you open a bank account with a child, opt out of
all marketing lists.
-- Object to giving your childs Social Security number
when registering for school. It might be optional, or
there might be a way to protect the number. Ask hard
questions.
-- At the doctors office, ask questions about how the
information is to be safeguarded.
-- When your teen begins to drive, opt for the ran-
dom number instead of Social Security number for
the license.
-- When you teen fills out job applications, teach him
or her to leave the Social Security number blank. A
would-be employer doesnt need that information. If
your child is actually hired, only the bookkeeper who
fills out W-2 forms at the end of the year needs the
information, not a shift supervisor in a burger place.

CHILDRENS BIRTHDAY

AND SPECIAL EVENTS

Virginia Statehouse News
Virginia Republicans are so optimistic
they will win two new state Senate districts
that they are setting their sites on other dis-
tricts in the quest to capture a slim majority
in the General Assemblys upper chamber.
We are extremely confdent those will
both end up being Republican victories on
election night, said state Sen. Ryan Mc-
Dougle, R-Hanover, second ranking Re-
publican in the Senate. We feel comfort-
able that we can focus our resources on a
number of pickup opportunities.
Republicans are hoping to snatch up 21
state Senate seats in Nov. 8s election, giv-
ing the GOP a one-seat edge over Demo-
crats in the 40-member state Senate. Tey
say the newly drawn, incumbent-free 13th
Senate District in Northern Virginia and
the 22nd state Senate district in central
Virginia will be among those wins.
But Democrats say not so fast.
Tats a terrible assumption to make,
said Brian Coy, spokesman for the Demo-
cratic Party of Virginia. We have very
close races in both of those districts.
Coy said capturing the 22nd and 13th
Senate districts is a top priority for Demo-
crats. He also said the GOPs move to shift
its focus away from the central part of the
state could help Democrats.
But even political observers say the races
are likely to go to the GOP.
Tose districts are both expected to end
up in Republican hands. It would be a shock
for Republicans if that were not the case,
Stephen Farnsworth, an associate profes-
sor of communications at George Mason
University in Fairfax, said of the 13th and
22nd districts.
Democrats, however, have a fnancial
edge over Republicans in the Senate Dis-
trict 22 race.
Senate District 22 campaign fnance re-
ports covering spending and fundraising
in September show Democrat Bert Dod-
son, a former Lynchburg city councilman,
with almost three times more cash on hand
than Republican Tom Garrett, a tea party
candidate and commonwealth attorney in
Louisa.
Dodson, CEO of the Lynchburg-based
Dodson Bros. Exterminating Co. Inc., spent
$124,824 last month and has $142,454 cash
on hand. Garrett spent $108,700 last month
and has just $50,879 on hand, according
the Virginia Public Access Project.
VPAP is a nonproft that disseminates
election fnancing information from the
State Board of Elections
Te newly created Senate District 22
shifted a few miles from the Interstate 81
corridor to Lynchburg, Amherst and east-
ward. Following redistricting, the district
leans slightly more Democratic but is still
solidly Republican, according to VPAP.
In Senate District 13, Republican former
Delegate Dick Black has slightly more cash
on hand than his opponent, Democrat
Shawn Mitchell, who owns Modern Me-
chanical, a heating-air conditioning and
plumbing business.
Black, an attorney, reported $50,713 in
cash and he spent $104,504 during Sep-
tember. Mitchell reported having $45,287
on hand and spent just $76,356, according
to VPAP.
Te new 13th is slightly more conserva-
tive than its previous version in southwest
Virginia. Te new district consists of Lou-
doun and Prince William counties, accord-
ing to VPAP.

David James Homes constructs custom-
built houses from an inventory of about 90
house plans, all of which are modifable by the
future homeowner.
Weve never built two houses that are ex-
actly alike, said Merle Heckman, president
of the company, and added that about 25% of
customers supply their own plans.
DJH constructs houses on customers lots
within 75 miles of any of its three branches lo-
cated in Roanoke, Lynchburg and Winchester.
If a customer is still considering purchasing
land, Heckman ofers free appraisal of the lot
to ensure its compatibility with the house they
want to build.
Each branch contains a selection center
where customers have many choices to make
concerning their new home such as the color
of carpet, type of cabinet doors and style of
plumbing fxtures.
Te average price of a custom-built home
this year has been $240,000, but DJH does
ofer houses for only $100,000. Whatever the
price, Heckman can guarantee the customer
will know exactly how much the house will
cost because all required materials are or-
dered before construction.
Many people can build good homes but
dont know where theyre at on their costs to
build it, said Heckman.
DJH hires subcontractors that specialize in
diferent areas of house construction. Some of
them have been working for DJH for several
years.
Construction is usually completed after four
months but can be prolonged if the customer
decides to make changes in the middle of con-
struction.
Heckman encourages potential homeown-
ers to consider a new home, claiming that a
new home is more energy efcient and has
lower maintenance costs than a used home.
Heckman worked for H. J. Heinz Ketchup
Corporation and controlled costs within the
company. In 1978, He took his eight years of
cost control experience and applied it to the
construction industry.
He established DJH in 2002, naming it af-
ter his son, David, who draws the house plans,
and grandson, James. Te frst branch was
in Roanoke, and the company expanded to
Lynchburg in 2006 and Winchester in 2008.
DJH also made charitable contributions to
the areas in which they build houses. DJH and
some subcontracters have provided labor and
housing materials to those in need, and Heck-
man is an ardent supporter of the Muscular
Dystrophy Association.

A house just the way you want it

tomers to choose what they want in their new home.

Ill Slap to That
Jim Harbaugh deserves to be commended, not rep-
rimanded ... at least not this time.
No, even in the No Fun League, a hearty back-
slapping and hard handshake of Detroit Lions head
coach Jim Schwartz after his San Francisco 49ers
handed the Lions their first defeat of the 2011 cam-
paign falls a bit short of the standard when it comes to
levying a fine. At least one would hope.
By now, youve no doubt heard of the pseudo-
controversy. Harbaugh shakes hand, slaps back.
Schwartz then breaks the longest run by a Lion not
named Barry Sanders in recent memory, bounding af-
ter Harbaugh, yelling incomprehensibly. Harbaugh is
then put in the awkward position of having to explain,
what? Enthusiasm?
Handshaking after a game is a long tradition. I
would go so far as to surmise that if you hail from a
country that recognizes the shaking of hands as a po-
lite gesture or symbolic in some fashion, if said coun-
try plays sports, theyve been shaking hands after a
contest since the dawn of the republic.
And why do we do this? No, not to show sports-
manship ... to show awkwardness. Maybe your
country-club tennis match ends in a handshake out
of graciousness, but in the professional and college
ranks the handshake is a televised moment. Every
time. Think about it. Have you ever seen a football
game broadcast cut out before the handshake? No,
you have not. Same goes with basketball and tennis.
Lets admit it ... every time we watch we look to see
who is the sore loser, arrogant winner or, in some cas-
es, were secretly pining for another match ... as if the
game just played wasnt enough. Will Jimmy Connors
punch John McEnroe in the face? Will Mike Tyson eat
Lennox Lewis children?
And if the fans dont want it, the media certainly
do. I dont remember the outcome of the games,
but I do remember the analysts discussing the terse
handshakes between Bill Belichick and Eric Mangini.
Belichick doesnt like the coverage.
[Handshakes are] so heavily scrutinized by the
media that its an event bigger than the game itself,
which is so absurd, Belichick said in a recent ESPN
interview. I think its pretty ridiculous that the media
focuses on it the way it does.
Belichick doesnt understand all of the fuss, but
former New York Giants baseball manager John Mc-
Graw did.
Sportsmanship and easygoing methods are all
right, but it is the prospect of a hot fight that brings out
the crowds, he said.
Ill slap to that.

munity, you need to step up and help those
who are less fortunate, said Heckman.
Heckman said the uncertain economy has
decreased house sales but he has a strategy to
overcome it.
Look[ing] at how you can better service
the people. Te market, I dont see it growing
much in the next year or two. So what I have
to do is give the person a better value than
anybody else, said Heckman.
In an efort to do this, he tries to keep his
prices fair for the consumer.
I look at my overhead and mark it up based
on that. I do not look at what the market will
bear, said Heckman.
Since DJH builds homes in Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, the
same quality of house is built in every location
to ensure it will pass the building inspection,
no matter how strict or lax the standards are
for the region.
DJH homes come with warranties that
promise a dry basement for 15 years, no struc-
tural defects for 10 years, and no maintenance
costs for 5 years with a guarantee to fx any
maintenance problem that arises with no cost
to the homeowner.
For Heckman, the best part of running DJH
is to see how excited his customers are to own
a home.
We do custom homes for the average per-
son. For the schoolteacher, the freman. Te
average worker can actually get a custom
built-home, said Heckman.
Joe Hepler, manager of the Lynchburg
branch, shares this same sentiment.
For a customer, there will probably never
be anything more exciting in their lifetime
than watching their new house go up. Its in-
describable. We get that same excitement,
said Hepler.

Virginia Statehouse News
In a move to save tax dollars, state of-
fcials are working to cap the number of
paid time-of hours state employees can
bank.
Public employees have racked up more
than $330 million in unused, earned
time of, according to the states long-
term debt obligations from 2010, as Vir-
ginia Statehouse News reported earlier
this month. Te annual liability is about
$34.1 million.
Sara Wilson, director of the states De-
partment of Human Resources Manage-
ment, went to the House Appropriations
Committee on Monday with recommen-
dations to scale back the number of paid
time-of hours state workers can roll
over annually. She also came with a plan
to consolidate several diferent types of
time of that can be banked.
But the biggest change would be a re-
duction in the number of hours work-
ers can roll over from year to year. Te
amount for the proposed single, consoli-
dated time-of bank would be capped at
120 hours each year.
Use it or lose it. Tat is a signifcant
change, Wilson said.
Currently, workers can carry over more
than 400 hours each year for vacation
and sick time.
Based on employee feedback, Wilson
proposed combining four commonly
used types of paid time of sick, per-
sonal, vacation and community service
into one time-of bank that employees
can tap into and managers can track.
Any time of workers have earned so far
would be frozen and paid out to workers
when they leave their state job or retire
at the salary level when the time of actu-
ally was earned, she said.
Changes to personal leave require leg-
islative approval, but changes to vacation
and sick leave can be handled adminis-
tratively, Wilson said.
Wilson said any new policy wouldnt
take afect for at least a year.
Legislators support eforts to review
employee benefts in an efort to be
competitive with the private sector and
balance wage and beneft costs with the
states tight budget.
Te time-of benefts should refect
current business practices with an eye
toward reducing costs to taxpayers, said
Delegate Joe May, R-Loudoun.
Salaries and benefts make up a sig-
nifcant portion of the states budget, he
said, adding that sick leave beneft, in
particular, is expensive.
We really do need to take a look at
(sick leave) not just the monies youve
paid but the difculties that are required
in order to cover that absence, particu-
larly when its unscheduled, May said.
Workers support simplifying the sys-
tem, said Ron Jordan, executive director
of the Virginia Governmental Employees
Association, a professional organization
that represents about 20,000 state em-
ployees.
Its an administrative mess. Tere are
a lot of pieces that are not fully used. It
could be simplifed in a way that would
still save the state money and still pro-
vide a good beneft for the employees,
Jordan said. From what I could tell, her
recommendation does that.
Te American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees,
which represents 2,000 state employees,
did not return calls seeking comment.
Virginia law does not allow for collective
bargaining for public employees.

It was French Renaissance essayist Mi-
chel de Montaigne who made the following
sage observation: Nothing is so firmly be-
lieved as what is least known.
If someone called you a mumpsimus,
would you be flattered or insulted? It seems
that the appropriate reaction would be to
take offense. According to the Merriam-
Webster dictionary, a mumpsimus is a stub-
born person who insists on making an error
in spite of being shown that it is wrong.
The English language is unique in the
number of collective nouns it possesses.
For instance, a group of frogs is known as
an army and a group of crows is called a
murder. We have a shrewdness of apes,
a wisdom of wombats, a congregation of
crocodiles, a smack of jellyfish, a wiggle
of worms, a crash of rhinoceroses, a
waddle of penguins and a scourge of
mosquitoes, to name a few. Geese flock to-
gether in gaggles, unless theyre in flight,
in which case they are collectively known as
a skein.
In the Baltic region, its traditional for a
bride to wear black.
Youve probably never heard of Harvey
Lowe, but in the 1930s he enjoyed a certain
amount of notoriety; in 1934 he won the first
World Yo-Yo Contest. Now that you know
who he is, can you imagine what he had in
common with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith
Richards and notoriously flamboyant enter-
tainer Liberace? It turns out that all three
took out insurance policies on their hands.
If youre like 20 percent of the respondents
in a recent poll, you find it embarrassing to
order tap water when youre in a restau-
rant.

On Nov. 8, 1847, Bram Stoker, author of the
horror novel Dracula, is born in Clontarf, Dub-
lin, Ireland. Stokers villainous, blood-sucking
creation, the vampire Count Dracula, became
a pop-culture icon and has been featured in
hundreds of movies, books and plays.
On Nov. 10, 1903, Mary Anderson receives
patent No. 743,801 for her window cleaning
device for electric cars and other vehicles to
remove snow, ice or sleet from the window.
Anderson tried to sell it to a Canadian manu-
facturing firm, but the company said the device
had no practical value.
On Nov. 11, 1921, three years after the end
of World War I, the Tomb of the Unknowns is
dedicated at Arlington National Cemetery in
Virginia when an unknown American soldier
is buried. A 2-inch layer of soil brought from
France was placed below the coffin so that
the soldier might rest forever atop the earth on
which he died.
On Nov. 7, 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge
collapses due to high winds. At the time, wind
forces were not taken into consideration by
engineers and designers. The remains of the
bridge, at the bottom of Puget Sound, form one
of the largest man-made reefs in the world.
On Nov. 12, 1954, Ellis Island, the gateway to
America, shuts it doors after processing more
than 12 million immigrants since opening in
1892. First- and second-class passengers had
easily passed through customs, but those in
third class underwent medical inspections to
ensure they didnt have a contagious disease.
On Nov. 9, 1965, Roger Allen LaPorte, a
22-year-old member of the Catholic Worker
movement, immolates himself in front of the
United Nations headquarters in New York.
Before dying, LaPorte, who was against war,
declared that he did it as a religious act.
On Nov. 13, 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Me-
morial is dedicated in Washington, D.C. The
long-awaited memorial was a simple V-shaped
black-granite wall inscribed with the names of
the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict,
arranged in order of death, not rank, as was
common in other memorials.

Whats so special about this book?
TEN YEARS AGO I told Americans to read ONE book to
understand the BIGGEST fnancial story of the new
millennium: Rediscovering GOLD in the 21st Century
by Swiss America Chairman Craig R. Smith.
Rediscovering GOLD explained in layman terms why a new,
generational bull market in precious metals hadjust begun.
Those who followed Mr . Smiths advice protected their life
savings during the recent devastating economic downturns.
TODAY, I am telling you to read ANOTHER book: Crashing the Dollar:
How to Survive a Global Currency Collapse, to understand why our paper money is about to turn into ashes.
Mr. Smith provides innovative strategies to renew Americas economy and, if we prepare wisely, to save ourselves
and our families from the economic death spiral of extreme debt and unpopular government policies we now
face.
To help prepare Americans for the dollars demise right now, I have a very special offer: Mr. Smith and I
want to get a FREE copy of Crashing the Dollar into the hands of every American with assets to protect.
Call 1-888-848-9337 and tell them you want the Special Pat Boone Book Offer.

Free Flu Shots
Quite a few communities are offering free flu
shots, more so than in recent years. For those
of us who dont yet have Medicare, or have an
insurance plan that wont pay for a shot, these
free clinics can be a big help.
Ask about free shots at work, senior centers,
local health departments and home health aide
groups, at the hospital, town hall and local col-
lege. Go online to google.com and put free flu
shot in the search box, along with the name of
your town.
Even if you cant find a free shot this year,
get one if your doctor thinks you should have
it.
To find a flu shot online, go first to www.flu.
gov and scroll down the right side to Flu Vac-
cine Finder, and put in your ZIP code. Also
check www.INeedAFluShot.org and www.
findaflushot.com.
If youre age 65 or older, ask your doctor if
you should have the extra-strength shot for se-
niors.
If you want to keep tabs on the spread of flu
this winter, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention has a website (www.cdc.gov/
flu) with maps, information on prevention and
more. Be sure to read the section on How Flu
Spreads. Did you know that someone 6 feet
away can spread it to others by coughing or
sneezing?
The vaccines this year include an influenza
A (H1N1) virus, an influenza A (H3N2) virus
and an influenza B virus, so keep your hand
sanitizer ready. Use the wipes provided at the
grocery store on the shopping cart handle be-
fore you even touch it. Learn not to touch your
face with your hands.
Remember, it takes a few weeks for the vac-
cine to become affective.

Best Way to Treat
COPD? Quit Smoking
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My mother is in her early
70s. She has been diagnosed with chronic ob-
structive pulmonary disease, COPD. She had a
bronchoscopic exam to remove a mucus plug.
She was a very heavy smoker. She still smokes.
She thinks her kids dont know, but we have
seen the evidence. She is on oxygen. Her doc-
tor thinks she has quit. What does this do to her
life expectancy? How long can she live this way?
-- J.S.
ANSWER: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
COPD, is two illnesses: emphysema and chronic
bronchitis. Emphysema is a harmful stretching and
destruction of the millions of air sacs found in the
lungs. Through those delicate structures, oxygen
reaches the blood. When they are damaged, a
person cannot get enough oxygen and becomes
breathless on even slight exertion. Chronic bronchi-
tis is inflammation of the air passageways, the bron-
chi. They fill with thick, pus-filled globs of phlegm. Air
cannot pass through them. A cough that produces of
sticky, tenacious sputum is its chief sign.
Cigarette smoking is the major cause of COPD,
but not the only one.
Its hard to watch people ruin their own bodies and
hasten death. Thats what your mother is doing. Tell
her that the most important treatment for COPD is
total abstinence from smoking. Abstinence allows
lungs to recover from the damage done from inhal-
ing cigarette smoke. It doesnt achieve a complete
reversal overnight. It does prolong life.
What does this do to her life expectancy? It short-
ens it. How long can she live? That cant be foretold.
Unequivocally, she will live longer and enjoy her life
more if she never lights up again.
COPD is a major problem and the fourth-lead-
ing cause of death. The COPD booklet explains its
causes and treatments. To order a copy, write: Dr.
Donohue -- No. 601W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL
32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no
cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipients
printed name and address. Please allow four weeks
for delivery.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have arthritis. Every time
it rains, my pain seems to increase. I attend the
Arthritis Foundations exercise classes, and we
all have the same response to rainy weather.
Were wondering if this is due to increased hu-
midity, low barometric pressure or just an old
wives tale. -- E.S.
ANSWER: A drop in barometric pressure along with
an increase in humidity has been demonstrated to
cause a flare of arthritis. Its the exact set of condi-
tions that happen prior to a storm.
Some arthritics experience more joint pain when
temperature drops.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I would appreciate read-
ing your comments on the current rumor that mi-
crowaved food loses all nutritional value. -- C.T.
ANSWER: Thats not a current rumor. Its a piece of
misinformation that has been circulating since micro-
wave ovens appeared on the market.
Its not true. Microwaving preserves vitamins and
minerals better than almost any other method of
cooking. Foods lose some of their nutritional value
when they are boiled in lots of water; the water draws
out some vitamins. Little water is used in microwave
cooking.

Returning Veterans at Risk
for Crashes
If youre newly back from Iraq or Afghanistan,
its possible that youre different behind the wheel
of a car now than before you left. If thats the case,
youre not alone. According to a Department of
Defense report to Congress, vehicle crashes are
the largest cause of deaths among veterans.
As reported in a recent study, within the first
30 days home, 25 percent of veterans had gone
through stop signs, 49 percent were anxious
when approached quickly by another vehicle,
31 percent experienced anxiety when there was
something by the side of the road and 20 percent
were anxious when the situation was normal.
Here are some questions to ask yourself: Have
you scared anybody with your driving or been
told you drive dangerously? If youre driving in
the middle of the road to avoid the edges, weav-
ing in traffic or making sudden changes, going
through stop signs or not yielding to other drivers,
or driving over the speed limit, then your driving
hasnt calmed down yet. How about risky stuff
like not using a seatbelt, or driving after drinking,
or owning a fast car?
And lets be frank: There could be an adrena-
line component there too. It could take up to 12
months before driving behaviors return to normal.
In the meantime, you dont want to put yourself
and others at risk. Youre home now.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has a pro-
gram called the Safe Driving Initiative, which is
designed to help returning veterans understand
why their driving behavior is different and to give
tips about how to calm down while driving. Look
at www.safedriving.va.gov. Check Richard Pettys
video.
Take a look at a brochure called, Shifting
Gears: Soldiers Returning to Driving on the
Homefront for veterans and families. Go online
to www.armymedicine.army.mil/prr/post_combat.

Toward the unity of all believers:
Question: Mr. Glenn, Why should we marry when divorce is so painful?
Actually, breakups of unmarried couples is also very painful. Shacking up is not a solution to
painful separations.
In addition, the Bible says in Galatians 5:19-21 that those who commit adultery and fornication
cannot inherit the kingdom of God. An important reason to marry is because God commands us to
marry rather than to commit fornication (Genesis 2:24; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9). One might consider
three other reasons God ordained marriage: (1) For special companionship without it being a sin
(Genesis 2:18). (2) To proprogate the race (Genesis 1:28). (3) To help each other get to heaven
(1 Peter 3:7). (4) To give man a model of the relationship of the church to Christ. For more infor-
mation or to ask a question, contact me at Seven Hills church of Christ, 810 Old Graves Mill Rd.
