Stephens City council meets & beats the sleet
Lions club and town work towards playground equipment improvement
Slide in the Stephens City park on Bel Air Street. Lions Club
wants to partner with the town to improve or replace exist-
ing playground equipment.

The Sherando Times
Stephens City’s first town
council meeting for the month
of February was short, brief and
to the point. The month of Feb-
ruary, known for its brevity and
unpredictable weather, intro-
duced itself on Tuesday, Febru-
ary 1st with threats of freezing
rain and icy roads, thereby caus-
ing town council to complete its
assignment in record time.
Town residents were in silent
agreement as the only individu-
als present were those holding
council positions and this re-
porter. However, no objections
to proceedings were made and
all pertinent agenda items were
dispatched readily by Mayor Joy
Shull.
No items were added, changed
or deleted from February’s

council meeting agenda and the
minutes for last month’s January
meeting were approved without
comment.
Town Treasurer Kim Uttenwei-
ler was not present at Tuesday’s
meeting, however the treasur-
er’s submitted report reflected a
cash balance of over one million
dollars as of January 26th, which
exceeds total liabilities for the
town by about $150,000. This
indicates a strong cash position
for the town.
In other financial matters, Fi-
nance Committee Chair, Joseph
Hollis, reported his committee

method of accounting from an
accrual basis to the modified

cash basis of accounting. Hol-
lis said, “Kim had spoken to our
auditors, who are currently re-
viewing our books, and modi-
fied cash basis would give us a
better idea of cash we have on
hand and what monies are avail-
able.” Hollis recommended to
council a change to this method
of accounting.
The modified cash basis of ac-
counting is the most common
method used by municipal gov-
ernments today. Municipal gov-
ernments are most interested
in the availability of resources
to meet their programs. The
modified cash basis as a rule ac-
curately reflects readily available
cash, whereas the accrual based
method tends to recognize both
revenue and expenditures which
have not yet materialized, some
of which are based on techni-
cally complex issues of valuation
and measurements associated
with the full accrual basis.
Parks and Recreation Chair
Ronald Bowers reported that
the Stephens City Lions Club
was interested in entering into
a private partnership with the
town concerning the playground
equipment at the park located
on Bell Air Street, which they
purchased for the town many
years ago.

Sherando
A glimpse of stardom for local Sherando High student
By Christopher Dalton
The Sherando Times
The universe is a vast, mysterious
realm which has provided mankind
with millennia of curiosity about its
origin and composition. Vast enti-
ties of rock and gas continue about
their extraterrestrial motions, and
we here on Earth try to unveil these
cosmic bodies to formulate a better
idea of the clockwork of the uni-
verse. Local Sherando High student
Alexander “Alec” Snider helped in
unraveling part of these mysteries by
discovering a pulsar in our galaxy on
January 20th, 2011.
A pulsar is a rotating neutron star
that ‘pulsates’ by releasing beams of
electromagnetic radiation at set in-
tervals. Neutron stars come into ex-
istence after a dying star explodes, a
phenomenon called supernova, and
condenses into a ball of high-density
matter. “A neutron star could fit into
an area the size of a large city like
Washington DC, and a teaspoon of
its matter weighs about the size of a
supertanker,” notes Debra Edwards,
Alec’s astronomy teacher and head
of the astronomy club at Sherando
High.
Alec’s club was provided the op-
portunity to search for pulsars by the
Pulsar Search Collaboratory, a joint
collaboration started by West Virgin-
ia University and the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory, with fund-
ing by the National Science Founda-
tion. The origins of this project arose
when the Green Bank Telescope in
West Virginia was in disrepair for two
and a half months in 2007 and was
unable to revolve, which allowed only
a scan of the passing night sky. These
drift scans ultimately produced 30
tetrabytes (30 trillion bytes) of data
collected over 300 hours of observed
time. All this data commanded an
abundance of closer observation, and
it was decided to allow high school
students to explore this data, thus
creating the project. There are cur-
rently 170 students involved in the
project nationwide.
This program allows students to
earn college credits, and the thrill of
being able to discover new pulsars.
These discoveries are hard-earned
however, for pulsars cannot been
seen with a visual telescope; they are

detected with a radio telescope that
picks up very faint pulses of radia-
tion. The myriad of images that the
Green Bank Telescope has received
are passed along to high school stu-
dents in the form of small star plots,
no larger than the page of a small
paperback. What’s almost as equally
impressive as discovering the pulsar
is the amount of plots that these stu-
dents analyze. “I had looked at about
1500 different plots before finding
the pulsar,” noted Alec, with an al-
most noticeable trace of exaspera-
tion in his voice. “It was a big relief
to discover the pulsar after looking at
so many plots. Looking at this par-
ticular star plot, I saw that there was
something worth noting, so I decided
to hand it in just in case. Turns out I
discovered a pulsar.”
This is not to say that Alec is dis-
mayed by the tediousness of the task.
He continues to rifle through star
plots even after his new-found “star-
dom.” “Friends like to joke around
and give me a hard time, giving me
hand shakes and making a big deal
in the hallways,” he chuckled. A fel-
low member of the astronomy club
even jokingly suggested that I take a
picture of Alec lying luxuriantly on a
table while the rest of the club cooled
him with palm fronds.
A few accolades did come his way
after the discovery, one being an invi-

tation with the rest of the astronomy
club to the Greenbank Telescope.
Expecting to just look over a few
shoulders at the lab, Alexander was
surprised at the chance to sit behind
the controls of the machine that al-
lowed him to make his discovery. “I
felt very nervous operating the tele-
scope. I did not want to break any-
thing on such an expensive piece of
equipment,” explained Alec. It’s no
wonder Alec did not want to push
any big red buttons, the telescope
operates at 50 cents a second, which
ended up totaling $3600 for his time
spent.
The wonders of the celestial heav-
ens captivated Alec at any early age.
“I used to watch space programs such
as Star Trek with my parents. My
family and I also have a decent tele-
scope at home that I used to look at
when I was younger. Ever since then
I have had a fascination with outer
space.” Alec hopes to continue nur-
turing his interest in astronomy and
science when he attends college next
year, focusing on either astronomy or
meteorology. He has already been
accepted to George Mason Univer-
sity, James Madison University, and
Christopher Newport. His latest
finding only boosts his credentials.
“Does this finding come with nam-
ing rights?” I inquired of Alec. “No,
scientists name the pulsar after its

Valentines in the valley

By Angela Ladd
The Sherando Times peruse the cards, candies, heart
It’s that time of year again!
Time to hit the stores and
scramble for the perfect Valen-
tine, the one with the message
you want to get across just right.
Whether you’re an elementary
student asking all the girls to
‘be mine’, or a teenager with
your first crush, the aisles at all
the stores are fully stocked and
just waiting for you to come and
shaped boxes, jewelry of every
kind and fashion. The flower
shops have ordered plenty of
roses to fill every order that will
soon be coming in. Husbands-
don’t forget! And wives-there
are plenty of deals on every-
thing you need to prepare the
perfect meal for the occasion.
Where did all of this mushy
mumbo jumbo begin? Blame it
on Saint Valentine, also known
as Valentinius, or blame Fau-
nus- the roman god of agricul-
ture. Yes- you read that right.
What does roman agriculture
have to do with our February
love-fest here in the valley? Ac-
cording to History.com, ancient
Romans celebrated the return
of spring each year on February
15th with the Lupercalia festival.

Holiday
of Rome) and to Faunus, the Ro-
man god of agriculture. Roman
priests would sacrifice a goat
and a dog for purification and
fertility. The hides would be cut
into strips, dipped in the sacri-
ficial blood and then the priests
proceeded through the streets
slapping women and crops with
the bloody strips of hide. This
was considered a blessing! The
single women then put their
names in an urn and the bach-
elors would select their mate
for the next year. Now I can tell
you from my perspective, I’d
rather be infertile than slapped
with a strip of bloody hide, but
to each his own, I guess. It also
leaves me wondering, what if I
don’t want to be paired up with
the village idiot for a year? Can
I make him put my name back
in the urn and go to the back of
the line? And if I get a real stud,
can I keep him longer, even if he
wants to trade me in? So, time
marches on and in 498 AD,
Pope Gelasius decides the Lu-
percalia festival is nothing more
than a Pagan ritual and so it was
outlawed. To fill the void, some
believe Christians came up with
the Valentines Feast to replace
the ancient Roman festivities.
A more romantic belief on
how this tradition began is the
story of Valentinius, or Valen-
tine. Believed to be a third cen-
tury Roman priest, Valentine
secretly wed lovers against the
order of Emperor Claudius II
who thought bachelors made
better soldiers. Claudius had
banned all marriages in Rome,
and when he discovered Val-
entine’s infraction, he ordered
that Valentine be put to death.
While imprisoned, Valentine
fell madly in love with the jail-
or’s daughter. He signed his
final letter to her “From your
Valentine”.
While the origin of this tra-
dition may still be undecided,
we can allow our imaginations
to fill the voids and believe the
fairy tale, folk lore, or historical
facts of our choosing. While
Valentine’s greetings were
popular in the Middle Ages, it
wasn’t until the seventeenth
century that small tokens of
affection were exchanged. Es-
ther A. Howland is credited
for beginning the tradition of
exchanging cards in America.
In the 1840’s she began creat-
ing elaborate homemade cards
with ribbons and lace. In 1880,
she sold her booming business
to the George C. Whitney Com-
pany. wandered over to Hi Neighbor
There are so many options for
Valentine’s Day celebrations in
our area. Most restaurants of-
fer special menus and B &B’s
offer special rates. Some of our
local wineries are having open
houses, dinners, and wine tast-
ings. Barbara Plitt of Buggy B’s
in Strasburg busies herself cre-
ating both beautiful and origi-
nal flower arrangements. In
preparation for Valentine’s Day
she will have arrangements pre-
pared consisting of three, six,
and twelve roses for those who
may have forgotten the holiday
or may have decided to wait
until the last minute. Barbara’s
gorgeous displays are created
with much attention given to
detail, and she prides herself
on her originality. She tells me
that you will a get better quality
if you DON’T order red roses.
With such a high demand for
them this time of year, suppli-

kicked off Super Bowl Sunday
a little early for the kids in at-

camp and treated the kids just
like professional football play-
ers, right down to the Gato-
rade and post game pizzas.
Jacoby said, “When you’re
out on the field, be the best
you can be and once the game
is over, you shake hands: that’s
part of being a good sport.”
The kids, ranging in age from
ten to about fifteen and com-

rapt attention to their coaches

football camp supplied the
kids with a unique and fun
perspective as they listened to
his energetic lessons and en-
couragement.
According to Business Man-
ager and Secretary for Cover 3
Football Steph Wood, the mini
camp was fully sponsored and
free, “It’s a great event, we
have a national football pro-
gram and we feed thousands
of kids.”
Scott’s mission in the pro-
gram began after much prayer
and soul-searching after
which he implemented several
football, community and out-
reach programs. He’s trained
and motivated hundreds of
youths throughout Virginia
and North Carolina and men-
tored hundreds of kids in his
community of Southampton
County and Franklin Virginia.
He’s successfully fed nearly
6,000 children with his After
School Snack Program and
has made many appearances
and speeches at local schools,
promoting three principles:
work ethic, positive attitude,
and commitment to one’s cho-
sen path in life. He says that he
realizes what God’s plan is for
him and absolutely has a deep
rooted passion for the young
men and women of the world
and cares about their devel-
opment as human beings and
athletes.
Passion for his beliefs showed
through Sunday as he spoke to
the children as a group, led
them in prayer and gave them
the image of a future they had
yet to dream about. You can

Don’t Get Sidejacked
It’s bad enough that we can walk
through a mall or airport, pass some-
one carrying a tiny scanner and have
our credit-card information stolen.
Now we learn that our laptops aren’t
always secure either.
First, two definitions:
Sidejacking — snagging data out of
the air as it travels from one point to
another on a wireless connection.
Firesheep — the program developed
to grab data out of thin air in sidejack-
ing. Hackers can follow you around
the Internet and see what you see,
see what you type in, and in the worst
insult, can imitate you.
The easiest place for this to happen
is at an unsecured Wireless Internet
(WiFi) location, such as a cafe that
asks users to sign in with the same
password. Your data flows across the
air, and with the click of the mouse, a
hacker can grab your user credentials
and impersonate you online. If you
tend to open your social network-
ing sites and leave them open, you’re
inviting trouble. It doesn’t take much
for a hacker to stroll through your
friends’ pages and pretend to be you.
FoxBusiness.com recommends a
few ways to stay safe:
• Don’t e-mail personal data, period.
Your Social Security number, if typed
in on a form, can be grabbed. Your
credit-card information, if typed into
e-mail, can be grabbed.
• Use an e-mail website that encrypts
data, such as Gmail. Look for a pad-
lock icon on the browser’s address
bar.
• Keep the security updates current
on all your gear.
• Beware the websites you visit. The
usual virus protection warnings apply,
of course, but especially in a Wi-Fi
environment. Take one Trojan horse,
add in a sidejack and before you finish
your latte, someone’s got your bank
account number in his greedy hands.
• Invest in a wireless card for some,
but not complete, safety.
Oddly enough, your biggest danger
might be from hackers around the
world rather than someone near you.
Idea: Keep a netbook computer to
use when you’re out. Use it for casual
e-mails and checking websites other
than your social networking sites.
Don’t go anywhere you need to put in
a password or enter any personal data.
Investigate a program called Black-
Sheep, which can expose uses of
Firesheep around you. Or look for
HTTPS Everywhere to block a hacker
from monitoring your web use.
