He says the long-term health project called HOMBRES is doddering on its financial legs. Seems that while our Valley residencies - Ball’s own and the Shenandoah Valley Family Practice Residency in Winchester, joined by a health center on Rhode Island and the VCU/MCV Department of Family Medicine - have provided volunteer health professionals to help a small clinic they established on the impoverished island in 001, financial contributions have backslid. Doctors, dentists and other health professionals locally will be asked to bump up their donations to keep the Honduras clinic in business. Also, Ball is looking for more health professionals to join the “brigade” of volunteers who help out at the clinic - typically, about two weeks each year. A Vino Thanksgiving Warren County cops, the army, the feds, and a state police bomb squad, called out unexpectedly on Thanksgiving Day, did not miss their turkey dinners, thanks to Rachel and Chris- tian Failmezger, managers of Vino E Formaggio on Main Street. The Failmezgers had already invited the needy and the lonely to free dinners at the restaurant. When the multilaw enforcement task force had finished a gun, ammunition and drug (marijuana) bust resulting in the arrest of David Anthony Boles of Front Royal (see related press release), they received their dinners courtesy of Vino E Formaggio. The restaurant says they served up to 60 people, including the law enforcement folks, free dinners between 1 and 6 p.m. Thanksgiving Day. As a postscript to this story, we had occasion to visit the local animal shelter to buy tree ornaments ($10 apiece) and heard that Boles was well known to staffers, one of whom remarked on his kindness to animals, particularly cats – it must not have been them he didn’t trust while allegedly arming himself to the teeth. FR Rotary donates to shelter The Rotary Club of Front Royal has approved a $ 5,000 contribution - spread over five years - to establish a shelter area on the old 19-acre Fishnet property, now under devel- Marshall Midwifery and Birth Center,LLC At Marshall Midwifery and Birth Center, I offer pregnant women out of hospital, birth center births and home births! 8434 West Main Street Marshall, Virginia 20115 Tierney O’ Brien Dovan, CPM 540-364-0376 Licensed Midwife Certified and Licensed Midwife giving quality care to women and babies throughout the childbearing years! www.marshallmidwiferybirthcenter.com Estate & Fine Jewelry Jewelry Design, Repair & Cleaning Come by for Small Business Saturday Deals!

The public park will boast a trail system, part of which borders a scenic area adjacent to the Shenandoah River, also children’s play and sports facilities. Morgan’s Ford Bridge #s We received a reply to a query to VDOT about costs of the 004 repairs cited in our Morgan’s Ford Bridge story last issue after that issue went to press. Consequently, VDOT official Ed Carter informed us those repairs “cost about cost $90,000 or approximately $350 per square foot.” Carter added that he believed that number is where current bridge preservation supporters were getting their $1.5 million estimate on repairs to the existing bridge as an alterna- drop off location Karen NDGAA Certified Grooming since 1994 tive to the approximate $7.1 to $7.3 million cost of a two-lane replacement bridge. “That is misleading,” Carter said of the $1.5-million estimate. “That 004 work was an emergency repair of one span on the shallow side of the river. It was not a rehab as the existing concrete is too deteriorated to utilize.” Chilly Blacksburg trip A group of 50 intrepid college football fans followed Front Royal Rotarian Doug Stanley (Warren County executive director) to Blacksburg on what turned out to be the coldest day of the year – Saturday, Nov. 4. After sitting atop freezing metal bleachers in 8 degree, windy weather (in fairness, Stanley had warned the group of a forecast drop to 36 degrees from Ready for Santa? the previous day’s 60-plus) the only warm folks were the Virginia Tech fans whose team beat UVA 17-14 in the final seconds. A guest who braved the elements was Staff Sgt. Malcolm Barr, Jr. The USAF sergeant traveled from Stuttgart, Germany, to see his team win the all-local matchup. Rotarian Cal Coolidge shivered as he announced his attendance at his “last football game”, as did fellow Rotarian Malcolm Barr, Sr. The group was greeted by Rocklander Jeff Lehew and his wife who provided hot food and drinks and a roaring log fire at their tailgate party near the bus parking lot before and after the game. rogerb@warrencountyreport.com Sharon Graduate MD School of Pet Grooming Grooming since 1981 Get pictures taken with Santa!

This year’s theme is “Christmas in the Park” and promises to be the most enchanting display yet in the 37 years that Jordan Springs’ owners Greig Aitken and Tonie Wallace-Aitken have been funding the displays. “Each year, the rooms’ décor changes and we develop new themes as well as bring back the most popular favorites of yesteryear,” says Executive Director Colt Nutter. This year, the main foyer features the Jordan Springs signature life-size horse and sleigh, showcasing the “Central Park” feel. The ,500 square foot Grand Ballroom is completely draped in over 4,000 square feet of satin fabric as a backdrop for the Crystal Forest , a guest favorite that was introduced three years ago on a much smaller scale. “This will be the biggest Crystal Forest yet, featuring over 1,000 dangling crystals and ‘snow’ lights,” says Nutter. Each event is designated to a local charity, and all tour proceeds will go to them. This year, Wallace-Aitken plans to focus on the families of our service men and women like the Children of Marines as well as others. Guests are asked to bring new, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items that will go to local families in need. Early December, 01 • Warren County Report • Page 11 Guests are also invited to vote on their favorite room. The cost is $5 per vote and the winners- those that voted on the winning room- will be invited back to Jordan Springs in 013 for a special “winners event.” Last year, over 1,000 visitors came to see the decorations at Historic Jordan Springs. Since its inception, the charity tours have generated nearly $100,000 in food, toy, and monetary donations. The schedule of events is: • Dec 7: Candlelit Ghost Tour & Pub Night w Robbie Limon • Dec 10: Christmas Tours & Pub Party Obituary Ruth Farrall Ruth Farrall, 60, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November , 01 in her hometown of Richmond.
