heir “road trip” will be anespecially long haul or the

Wounded Warrior Riders. Te mis-sion o the six-member group is totravel across the entire country onhorseback. Tis e ort, they hope,will raise awareness and money orthe wounded warrior project.It’s a private charity, they said,

which helps members o the mili-tary, especially rom the wars inIraq and A ghanistan who havebeen wounded, whether physically,mentally and/or emotionally, withcareer and other types o counseling

and employment issues.“Tis helps with the transition to

a new normal li e in the civilianworld,” said Mike Proscia, woundedwarrior himsel and ex-Marine.“You don’t come back the same

person as when you le t,” Je Keegan,a veteran o Vietnam who originatedthe idea o riding the 3300 miles

rom Virginia to Cali ornia, said.Te riders arrived in Front Royal

on Rt. 5 S. at around p.m. andstopped or about hal an hour at theRoyal Family Bowling Alley parkinglot on Wednesday, June 15. Tey had just come rom a stay in Hume. Teride began in Dahlgren, Va. at theNaval Weapons Station.All o members o the group arerom Arizona. Proscia lives in

Phoenix and everyone else lives nearLake Havasu. Tey hope to endthe estimated our-to-six months’ride in northern Cali ornia inNovember.“ he ride was originally Je

Keegan’s idea,” said Proscia.As i to expand on his motivationor the idea, Je added, support is

growing each year.“Tere’s a lot o adjustment men-

tally and physically. Te generalpopulation is more supportive

now than earlier during the VietnamWar, but we’re trying to teach (the

wounded warriors) what they arecapable o doing rather than whatthey used to do,” Keegan said. “Tey need to learn how to be a part o the community again and still beactive and make a living. Help cancome in the orm o nancial aid orgetting them in touch with agencies,governmental or other, and to ndprograms and resources.”Te women o the group are Blue

Star Mothers – mothers o activeservice members - or both Blue andGold Star Mothers, those who havelost children in the military serviceto the wars. Mona Hester, who drivesthe trailer tted out with supplies or

the trip, lost three children.“ hey were doing their job,” she

said.“Tis is a good project. We don’t

want our soldiers to be orgotten,”Kathy Gaddy, who has a son whois active with helping troop moraleand son-in-law who is an Iraqi vet-eran, said.Read more about the organization

Citizens o Winchester will be seeingtheir utilities bills rise over the next

ew years, signi cantly in 01 and013 and more gradually beyond that.his increase in water and sewage

rates is the result o a major renova-tion project being undertaken by theCity on its water system at variouspoints in town. Tis project is beingundertaken because o the advancedage o the city’s water system and isconsidered as an unavoidable neces-sity by City Council members.“We have the second oldest water

system o any city in the UnitedStates,” said Councilman Milt Mc-Intur .Te city’s plan to pay or the expen-

sive project is to rst take out a loanand then pay that loan down over anumber o years through the revenuesgenerated by the rate increases. Tetotal cost o the three major renova-tion projects and the nal phase o theupgrade to the water treatment plantis estimated at 1 million dollars.Te projects are scheduled to be car-

ried out over the next ew years, withthe water treatment plant upgrade

nishing rst and the improvementsto the pedestrian mall’s system being

the nal project to come to comple-tion in 013. he rate increasesthemselves will also be gradual. Teproposed schedule would see thewater and sewage rates rise by 15% in

01 and then rise again by another15% in 013. But the increased bills

or citizens will not end there. Tecity estimates additional needs or thewater system will require another riseo 3 to 4 percent each year between

013 and 017.he report given to Council pro-

posed a ew possible alternatives toraising the rates, but each one only somewhat lowered the increased bill-ing, even when de erring all three o the renovation projects.“I all three o the proposed utility

replacement projects were de erred,the rate increases needed in 01 and

013 would be 11% per year (as op-posed to 15%). It should be noted thati these projects are de erred, the ol-lowing grants that havebeen obtainedwould be or eited: VDO –RevenueSharing Funds or 1.6 Million, Federalgrant or 1.5 Million,” reads the reportby the city to Council.Council members noted that not act-

ing to renovate such an excessively oldwater system was simply not an option,even as several members asserted thatraising the rates on citizens was not

something they were happy about.However, the sheer magnitude o theproblem seemed obvious.“We actually ound wooden pipes,”

noted Councilman McIntur whendiscussing past projects on the sys-tem.

he report also pointed out thatWinchester compared avorably withother jurisdictions when it came toutility bills.

he age o the city’s water systemand inevitability o its renovation may cause some citizens to worry aboutthe quality o the water being used inthe city. However, the city continuesto state that their water is o highenough quality to meet the necessary standards.“Te environmental quality o the wa-

ter produced and wastewater treatedis in accordance with the rigorousstandards established by the VirginiaDepartment o Health, Virginia De-partment o Environmental Quality and the United States EnvironmentalProtection Agency to assure sa ety tothe consumer and the environment,”reads the statement on the City’swebsite.Te tentative timeline would have the

city submitting an application or theloan in early August o this year, withthe rate increases to begin next year.

The vastly outdated Winchester processingfacility in dire need of an update. Water and sewer customers across the city willbe feeling the pinch of higher prices bothin 2012 and 2013.

WINCHES ER — Controversy had marked previous City Coun-cil meetings regarding the noisecreated by garbage trucks early in the morning near residentialneighborhoods. An ordinancewas proposed that would banthe operation o those trucks inthe city between 11 p.m. and 6a.m. However, some members o council believed the problem wasbeing blown out o proportionand that a city-wide ordinancewas too broad to be an efcientsolution.It was agreed by council mem-

bers that the city would meetwith the garbage companies to

create a joint Memorandum o Understanding. Tis was seen

as a chance to nd a commonsolution that not harm business.On uesday, June 8 Councilwas given that Memorandum.It emphasized that avoidingdisturbance to local residentialneighborhoods was a commonpriority. An agreement wasreached to ollow the Memo-randum or a six month pilotperiod, to test its e ectivenessand whether continuing with itwould solve the problem.Instead o a city-wide ban, the

memorandum restricts the useo the trucks around residentialneighborhoods between 10 p.m.

and 6 a.m. Te companies willbe provided with a map showing

the property zoned as residen-tial. Te memorandum is only

meant or six months and any o the participants are ree to backout o the deal.Te police department is eli-

gible or two grants that couldenhance their abilities. Te rstis a grant rom Harley DavidsonGrant Assistance Program topurchase a motorcycle or thepolice orce. Te report on thegrant submitted to council citedsavings in uel consumption by a police car as a major bene to the grant. According to thereport, the average police car inWinchester consumes 17 milesper gallon o gas, while the mo-

torcycle would consume 40 milesper gallon.In addition, a grant was ound

by the city that could help withpurchasing equipment or thepolice department. Te grantcould be up to $35,000, withninety percent o the unds com-ing rom the ederal government

Homemade CleanersGet the Job Done

When it comes to household clean-ing products, there really isn’t any-thing new on the shelves. The pack-aging might change (generally get-ting smaller) and the claims might bewilder, but the ingredients themselveslikely are the same. One thing thathasn’t changed at all: Cleaning prod-ucts cost too much, and manufactur-ers have tried to convince us that weneed a separate product for each areaor function.

If you’re willing to do a little experi-menting and follow a few simple reci-

pes, you can make your own cleaning products and save up to 90 percent of the cost of those bought in the store.With a few basic ingredients, you cancreate multi-use products that not onlywork, but are safer around childrenand pets.

Here are a few examples:• Mix two cups water and one cup

hydrogen peroxide and spray onshower grout.

• Mix white vinegar and water (50/50 mixture) in a spray bottle for

bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Whitevinegar removes mildew, so it’s effec-tive in showers as well.

• Simmer a cup of water and 1 table-spoon of vinegar to get rid of cooking

smells from fish, onions an• Mix a cup of water, a cu

pyl rubbing alcohol and 1non-sudsing ammonia in a for use on windows. Isoproacts as a disinfectant, too.

• Or, mix two cups of wtablespoons of vinegar in ause on windows.

• To clean drains, mix fouwater (not boiling) and 1/2Pour down the drain and fclear, hot water.

• Put lemon slices down disposal for a fresh smell.

• Use a paste of bakinwater to clean your ovenovernight. Wipe off with ligent and a little water on a

• Use 1/4 cup of vinegar ier’s rinse cycle to cut down

• Use dish soap, baking scrubber to remove greaseclothes.

Tip: Label your spraythere’s no confusion aboutents. Attach your recipe toyou can duplicate it later.

Logano ExperiencedBeyond His Years

Joey Logano, who wonthe Sprint Cup Series’Rookie o the Year awardin 009, turned someheads at In neon Raceway by winning the pole.

Te 1-year-old hadwon a pole be ore, at Bris-tol in 010, but ew expect-ed him to record the ast-est time at a road course.Race day wasn’t bad, ei-ther, as Logano nished acreditable sixth in his No.

0 Home Depot oyota. It

was easily his best-ever n-ish at the series’ two roadcourses, In neon and Wat-

kins Glen.Te Sonoma, Cali .,

layout provided a wel-come and unexpected li tin Logano’s ortunes. TeMiddletown, Conn., na-tive remains only 3rd inthe points standings a ter

nishing 0th in 009 and16th in 010. Te In neon

nish was only his thirdtop-10 o the season todate.

“Tis is the last placeI gured we’d ever get apole,” said Logano a ter av-eraging more than 93 mpharound the 11-turn, 1.99-mile course.

A ter the sixth-place n-ish, he added, “I can’t tell you how badly I neededsomething like this. It’sde nitely going to helpour season. I think it ’s de -

nitely going to get us somemomentum.”Logano was NASCAR’s

youngest top rookie ever,and he also became the youngest driver ever towin a Cup race on June 8,

009, when he won a rain-shortened race at New Hampshire Motor Speed-way.

At Sonoma, Robby Gor-don and Logano clashedduring the race.

“Tat’s no big deal tome,” said Logano, re er-ring to Gordon. “I don’tknow. He was running meall over the race track. Heknocked my ender in orno reason. We were a lot,lot aster than him. I justhad enough. I wasn’t goingto get pushed around. Hepushed me around be ore,and I was sick o it.

“I think that’s a smallstory. Tat’s not a big deal.

We nished sixth. I’m pret-ty happy about that.”What would be a big

story would be a Logano

comeback, now that he hassome momentum. o makethe Chase, he would haveto win at least one race andsomehow get himsel intothe top 0 in points.

Tanks to changes in theChase ormat implement-ed this year, he’s still got ashot, albeit a small one.
