Jump Start Project moves ahe

Public hearing will be held November 30th on development projeBy Lorie ShowalterTe Sherando imes

Te Stephens City PlanningCommission will hold a publichearing at its November 30thmeeting at 7:30 p.m. to considera move orward or the develop-ment o properties in the town.According to own Planner Bri-an Henshaw, the original proercalled or the majority o the Ste-phens City Western Bypass to beconstructed prior to issuing the

rst building permit.Essentially we are phasing out

the construction o the bypass inorder to allow them to start con-struction on some o the houses,prior to beginning construc-tion o the bypass, Henshaw ex-plained. Te construction o thebypass will be phased into thedevelopment at various timingsequences.

Te issue that will be consideredat the public hearing in Novem-ber as well as at the December 7thtown council meeting is allowing

the developer, Greenway Engi-neering, to move orward withthe development utilizing exist-ing roads to a certain extent. Asthe construction process movesahead they would be required toconstruct a portion o the bypassas the work expands.

Henshaw said, Te develop-ment is remaining as it was ap-proved and the only process thatwere going through is amendingthe timings o the original proerstatement.

Te West Wynd Proer State-ment has been in the works orquite some time and updatesand amendments have been dis-cussed at the regular PlanningCommission and own Councilmeetings.

Evan Wyatt o Greenway Engi-neering presented the amendedproer statement at the townslast council meeting with thePlanning Commission decidingon a public hearing o the amend-ments to the proer statementsat their next scheduled meeting

in November.Wyatt is working with the towns

attorney, David Grin and Hen-shaw on the legal language o theamendments.

Wyatt called this project a jumpstart project explaining that in006 the town was bombardedwith development proposals andthe collective wisdom was that aull bypass road would be neces-sary, however with the slump inthe economy over the past threeyears the need or a quickly built

bypass has become less o an is-sue.

VDO (Virginia Departmento ransportation) concludestheyre not interested in main-taining a our lane section o aboulevard road until the warrantsare there or the trac volumes,said Wyatt.

Wyatt assured council thatproper amendments have beenprepared and do not change theintent or the content o the origi-nal plan. Its still the same zoning,same developments o residentialunits and the same portion ocommercial, said Wyatt.

A phasing program is being es-tablished or beginning the resi-dential development and then orbuilding the bypass road bringing

the originally adopted proer upto the present time. Wyatt saidwhere the proers used to reerto the generalized developmentplan, which was more o a con-cept plan, there is now more o aspecic rezoning exhibit.

Greenway is still committed to

building the commercial devel-opment at the same threshold asthey were at during the originalrezoning, keeping the same de-

sign standards or cial center to ensurand continuity.

the Western Bypass, construc-tion o the homes could beginregardless o the impact to theintersection in question.

Tere was also concern, duringSeptembers meeting that plac-

ing a building permit number asa trigger or construction wouldresult in the developer onlybuilding to a certain thresholdand not beyond thereby leavingthe bypass construction in limbo.However, as Henshaw pointedout, the town holds a 3.6 milliondollar bond on the constructiono the bypass and that could bethe catalyst used to begin andcomplete the construction o thebypass.

wo months later, GreenwayEngineering, Henshaw, Grinand the rest o the town counciland planning commission con-tinue to modiy the proer to thebetterment o the towns growthand order.

As Wyatt continued his pre-sentation to council he said, Teoriginal rezoning was proered as

a write-in only and so what wevedone is provided a proered ex-hibit which allows or this to be aull access point, two way tracthrough the development. Oncethis is done Blackheath Drive is

then extended up and this con-nectivity is made and convertedback to a write-in only.

In so doing, this commits a twolane section o the road to thenorthern property limits in con- junction with the permit that isrequired to start the commercialaspect o the development. Tereare three mechanisms in place tocomplete the our lane section.

First, honor beore the issuanceo the 01st permit, the old pro-er required the entire our lanesegment built which will stay thesame; secondly, in the event itsdetermined that it is warrantedbeore that time based on tracvolumes that would be a triggerrequiring the our lane improve-ment; and third, as a cautionarymeasure and two protections orthe town are the bonding cur-

rently in place and once the sec-ond lane section is completedand i the other two triggers arenot met yet and ten years go by,then that is the third trigger andit would be built.

Tere is a permitting triggerin place and a timing trigger oran outside o the project tractrigger in order to give everyonea certain comort level that theour lanes would eventually beperormed. Te remainder o theproer is identical and accordingto Wyatt, one thing that was re-ally sought ater back when therewas a lot o development activitywas the need or a comprehen-sive study that would be undedby developers and when that hap-pened, we stepped up to the platewhen others didnt.

He urther explaienway let that prothe event that oppocome back aroundthat this is not a zobut a proper amen

is a rephrasing re-program, said Wya

Stephens CHenshaw pointed out in September, the town holds a 3.6 million dollar bond on the con-struction o the bypass.

Holiday Safety

Thanksgiving is upon us again(unless youre in Canada, in whichcase its safely past) and the holidayseason is about to go full swing. Yourfamily is probably similar to mine,with relatives traveling from all overto catch up on things, and most of all,eat.

Upon arriving at the Martinsburg

Veterans Aairs Medical Center, thestudents were awed by the rows ofags at the entrance. Lucchiani saido the adults and students who went:

Our senses were grabbed rightaway. She said they werent surewhat to expect when they arrived,but as it turned out, every vet was

wonderul.

Beore going on the eld trip, stu-dents had taken time to assemble git

bags or one hundred veterans. Tegit bags included basic toiletries,socks and other items the veteranscould use. Puzzle books and person-

alized letters rom the students werealso included in the bags. AmberLucchiani, a sixth grade teacher atAylor, was instrumental in organiz-ing the eld trip. Lucchianis sister

works or 3 Phoenix, a governmentcontracting company in Chantilly. 3Phoenix made a donation towardsthe purchase o some o the items

that were included in the git bags.Some students also brought in theirown things to add to the git bags.Some o them drew extra pictures or

the veterans.

aryn Gibson, a sixth grader romAylor, said o the veterans: Teywere very appreciative o the stu-

dents coming to see them. It madethem (the veterans) eel important.aryn said that one veteran got teary-eyed as he spoke o his amily. He

had served in the military on a sub-marine. She said another veteran had

been wounded in the shoulder andone o his legs was paralyzed. arynalso spoke o one veteran who was

so emotionally touched by receivingthe git bag that he wanted to nd thegirl it was rom to thank her person-ally and give her a hug. aryn said

that one o the veterans she met hadserved in the Navy or orty years.

When aryn was ask

stories they might want to share.Kyle Landis, another sixth grader

rom Aylor, remembered three veter-

ans he visited with while on the eldtrip. He said one o the vets was re-ally nice and talked to him a lot. Kyle

got to talk baseball with one o theveterans. Tat veteran gave Kyle hisown personal Yankee hat beore Kylelet. Kyle said a third veteran emptied

his git bag, said Tank you andstarted crying. One o the veterans

told Kyle stories about when he wasin Vietnam. wenty other boys were

drated at the same time he was. Tevet told Kyle that boot camp wasntun. Kyle was impressed by the actthat this veteran blew up things

when he was in Vietnam. Kyle sober-ly noted that Veterans Day is aboutcelebrating people that ought andgiving them gratitude or what they

did. When Kyle was asked how itmade him eel to do something spe-cial or the veterans, he answeredthat it Made me eel really good.

People usually send cards, but wetook the time to give them stu inperson. Tat was the main themereiterated by the veterans that the

students would take time to come

and visit them in person meant moreto them than anything else. arynsaid it made her eel good that they

were making them (the veterans)eel important. When asked whathe had learned rom going to the VAHospital, Kyle replied that the veter-

ans are Amazing American heroes.In words o wisdom that belied his

years, Kyle added, I thought theywere more than people.

Lucchiani is pleased with the suc-cess o the eld trip. She said it,Went above and beyond expecta-tions. She noted, Its easy to teach

acts and dates, but its hard to instillpatriotism in students. She eels thetrip was good or both the students

and veterans. Sometimes peoplethink that kids dont care, but theydo. Tey just need an opportunity toshow they care. Te veterans neededsomeone to listen to their stories and

let them know they are cared about.Lucchiani, a history teacher, rec-ognizes that the history books onlyscratch the surace. Te stories o

veterans are history too, even i theyare unwritten. She said the veterans

took on a atherly/grandatherly rolewith the students. Te vets encour-

aged the students to Stay in school.Some vets could not bring themselvesto discuss topics that were emotion-al or them. When the students got

ready to leave the Martinsburg Vet-erans Aairs Medical Center, the

veterans applauded the students.Later, ater the eld trip, the students

asked the teachers, Can we go backat Christmas? Can we go back in sev-enth grade?

For Lucchiani, remembering and

honoring veterans is personal to her.All o the men in her amily haveserved in the military. Her great-great grandather was in World War

II. Her grandather died on the way

back rom Korea when his ship sank.Her ather is a Vietnam veteran. Allo her our brothers have served in

the Marines. Tey have each beento Iraq at least once and two o themhave served two tours. Lucchianieels that veterans are not honored

like they should be. She said, Teirsacrice continues even ater theyare out o the service.

Lucchiani is thankul her team-

mates (the other sta) were all onboard and wanted to do the eldtrip. It was a joint eort betweenteachers and the administration.

Some parents also volunteered to goon the eld trip. Lucchianis contactat the Martinsburg Veterans Aairs

Medical Center was already receiv-ing positive eedback rom the veter-ans ater the students let. She said,Te veterans who were recipients o

your visit/gits spoke o the joy they

Not your everyday nurseNatural Art Garden Center oers unique landscaping and fora

By Rachel HammanTe Sherando imes

When you visit the NaturalArt Garden Center just north ooms Brook, Virginia o Route11, expect to receive exceptionalcustomer service rom an expe-rienced sta. Tough they havebeen open less than two years,it is obvious that the owners and

sta o the Natural Art GardenCenter have done their time inresearch and marketing to helpmeet the unique needs o theircustomers.

Te Natural Art Garden Centerocially opened in April o 009.Tey are quickly becoming com-petitive in the products they o-er and their unique approach to

landscaping. As recently as Octo-ber 8, 010, they were one o sixlandscaping businesses to receivean award as a seminalist at the010 Landscapers Challenge,which is organized by Lawn andLandscape, the magazine. Tebusiness that won rst place inthat competition had over onehundred employees, whereasthe Natural Art Garden Center

only has three ull-time employ-ees. Te town o Strasburg, VAnamed the Natural Art GardenCenter its Business o the Yearor 009.

With a business name that in-corporates the word art, onewould expect creativity to beinvolved. Such is the case withthe Natural Art Garden Center.

Owner Scott Edmondson hasbeen doing landscaping work ortwenty-ve years. He designs andconstructs patios, outdoor kitch-ens, walkways, retaining walls,pergolas as well as outdoor light-ing and water eatures. In short,i a customer has an idea or anoutdoor landscaping project,Scott will come up with a cre-ative design that pleases the cus-tomer and has aesthetic qualities.According to Scotts businesspartner, Lynne Phillips, Scottsartistic designs have inspired

his customers to say things like,Youve created a work o art inour back yard. Lynne believesthat what sets their business apartrom other similar businesses isScotts landscaping artwork andthe act that they have the larg-est selection o perennials inthe area. A popular perennial orTe Natural Art Garden Centerthis season has been candy storephlox. Also popular this year hasbeen coral bells, which is a varietyo the heuchera plant. It is a pe-rennial in warmer climates, but

is a popular annual in this area.Te Natural Art Garden Centerhas three main varieties o theseplants: reworks, Shanghai andelectra. Te reworks variety isa reddish color, the Shanghai isa purplish color, and the electrais a lime color. Tey still haveplenty o these heuchera varietiesin stock. Tey also have an orna-mental grass called pennisetum,which is a beautiul purplish red-dish color. Unortunately, this isan annual grass, but it is so gor-geous that planting it every year

would be worth the trouble. Oneo Lynnes avorite fowers andalso a avorite with customersthis year is the Henry Eilers sweetblack-eyed Susan. Lynne sayseach petal is tubular-shaped andnectar can be gotten rom the in-dividual tubes.

DEAR NASCAR HIS WEEK: I

liked your answer to Kathy Rhudyconcerning Jimmie Johnson. I say

i a person has talent they deserve

the rewards. Jimmie Johnson is a

good driver. I say hooray or him.Some people dont like Kyle Busch,

but I say he is a good driver. Give

him his due. -- Norma Lee, Shoals,

Ind.DEAR NASCAR HIS WEEK:

NASCAR is concerned about the

declining attendance, and declin-

ing sales. Could the possibility o arecession have anything to do with

it? -- John J. Johnson Jr., Liberty

Center, OhioDEAR JOHN: Hardly anyone has

discussed the decline without cit-

ing the recession. Tere are other

actors, as well.DEAR NASCAR HIS WEEK:

Here are some reasons why the

NASCAR bubble has burst:

1. Te Chase ... silly and a wasteo time. Why run 36 races and then

have a 10-race champion crowned?

Asinine. Te most consistent driv-

er should win the championship.

2. Tirty-six races are waaaaaytoo much. Run 25, crown a champ,

and leave the people with real an-

ticipation or the next year.3.Eliminate the cookie-cutter

tracks. Boring races.

4. Go back to NASCARS roots.

Run two races at Darlington. Re- vamp North Wilkesboro and run

there again. Return to the Rock --

Rockingham.5. Qualiy 40 cars per race at 1-

mile-plus tracks. Tirty-six cars

at 3/4-mile-and-under tracks. No

locked-in positions. Qualiy onspeed or go home.

I grew up a NASCAR an. My

amily was going to Dover and

Richmond (old 1/2-mile track) when they only had grandstands

on the ront stretch. en years ago

I was sure NASCAR was going to

go down the tubes. It is not a stick-and-ball sport. Dont try (to) make

it that. All your yuppie ans let

ater three years. -- Harold Sultz-baugh, Hanover, Pa.

DEAR NASCAR HIS WEEK:

wo reasons (or the sports slump)

are that NASCAR ans like me aretired o NASCAR. wo examples:

mystery cautions or cautions or

the slightest little thing, and only

enorcing the rules it wants to en-

orce. (Kyle) Busch went below theline and improved his position

(alladega) and was not orced be-

low the line. He did not win thattruck race by the rules that NAS-

CAR itsel makes.

Tose are two quick reasons why

NASCAR is less than it was. I willadd a third, but it is more o a per-

sonal one. Rick Hendricks is the

worst thing that ever happened toNASCAR. He has my sympathy or

his personal loss, and I wouldnt

wish that on anyone, but the act is

hes a convicted elon -- althoughhe did buy a pardon -- and should

have been thrown out o NASCAR.

When an organization allows

crooks to be team owners, it tells you a lot about the organization.

Te same thing or (Gene) Haas

also.Owners should be limited

to two teams, and all afliationsto other teams should be tightly

scrutinized and very limited. --

Ron Bean, Pachuta, Miss.

DEAR RON: Arbitrary rules en-

orcement was a part o NASCARlong beore the slump.Monte Dut-

ton has covered motorsports or

Te Gaston (N.C.) Gazette since

1993. He was named writer o the year by the National Motorsports

Press Association in 2008. His blog

NASCAR Tis Week (http://nascar.

rbma.com) eatures all o his re-porting on racing, roots music and

lie on the road.
