Sherando wasn’t targeted for any special reason, any of the schools can be searched at any time and according to Coordinator of Policy, Records Management and Communications Steve Edwards, similar searches
were conducted at Millbrook and James Wood High Schools during the 2008-2009 school year.

The Frederick County Public
Schools implemented its right
to ensure the welfare of its students by conducting a random
drug search at the Sherando
High School Friday, October 2nd
around 8:00 a.m. Some heard
about it and thought there was a
bomb, suicide, drug or other such
threat but it was nothing of the
sort. It was prophylactic action,

schools to maintain in order to
keep the peace and safety of our
schools clear of possible harm.

• On Oct. 20, 1774, the First Continental Congress creates the Continental Association, which calls for a complete ban on all trade between America
and Great Britain of all goods, wares
or merchandise. It was one of the first
acts of Congress behind which every
colony firmly stood.
• On Oct. 22, 1797, the first parachute jump of note is made by AndreJacques Garnerin from a hydrogen
balloon 3,200 feet above Paris. As he
failed to include an air vent at the top
of the prototype, Garnerin oscillated
wildly in his descent, and he landed
shaken but unhurt.
• On Oct. 24, 1861, workers of the
Western Union Telegraph Company
link the nation’s eastern and western
telegraph networks, completing the
first transcontinental line. The obstacles to building the line were huge.
Among other things, Sioux warriors
had cut a completed part of the line
and took a long section of wire for
making bracelets.
• On Oct. 19, 1931, David Cornwell,
later known as spy novelist John le
Carre, is born in Poole, England. He
joined the British Foreign Service in
1959. His 1986 book, “A Perfect Spy,”
was the first of his novels not submitted to the British government for
approval and possible censorship, given his former intelligence status.
• On Oct. 25, 1944, during the Battle
of the Leyte Gulf, the Japanese deploy
kamikaze (“divine wind”) suicide
bombers against American warships
for the first time. More than 1,321
Japanese aircraft crash-dived their
planes into Allied warships during the
war.
• On Oct. 21, 1962, Chubby Checker
sings his 1960 No. 1 hit, “The Twist,”
on Ed Sullivan’s variety show. His
appearance boosted sales of the
record, and in January the song hit No.
1 again, making “The Twist” the only
record ever to top the charts twice.
• On Oct. 23, 1989, 23 people die in a
series of explosions sparked by an ethylene leak at the Phillips Petroleum
Company factory in Pasadena, Texas.
A subsequent investigation found that
the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) had not done
a comprehensive inspection of the
plant since 1975.

October 7 - 13, 2009 • The Sherando Times • Page Edwards says, “Safety is a top priority for Frederick County Public Schools and we work collaboratively with
the Frederick County Sheriff ’s Office to maintain a safe and drug-free environment in all of our schools.
Friday’s search at Sherando was not prompted by any particular situation. It was simply part of our effort
to keep our students, staff and facilities safe.”
our children like no other time in
history, even Dylan’s time is past
when it comes to his own words
but he seemed to know that before it happened.
Attending high school today
after being out of it for 30 years,
well let’s just say I’m pretty sure
times have-a-changed since I
was in school. The worst thing
my parents could possibly worry
about sending me to school concerning ‘bad influence’ would be
the pressure to smoke cigarettes
and since my parents smoked I’m
pretty sure it didn’t cross their
minds.
However, using that corruptible
habit (tongue in cheek of course)
as an example, the worst punishment for smoking cigarettes in
school, in my day, was getting
caught in the bathroom and be-
ing reprimanded. The kids were
admonished, the cigarettes were
confiscated … sometimes … and
then given back before they left
school and oh yeah, they were
told not to do it again.
Parents today have a lot more
to worry about than cigarettes
but with the cooperation of the
school board and the sheriff ’s office at least a few things can be
alleviated from worried parental
minds today as they struggle to
make a living and send their children to school while working.
The news runs rampant today
with kids bringing drugs, weapons and other contraband to
school and the only way to put a
stop to it is seriously and actively
discourage it and not with a stern
warning, that doesn’t seem to
work very well any more.

your sales career, email:

Unfortunately, that’s what its
come to today and what is a parent who is hard at work to do? If
the schools don’t discourage this
kind of behavior by enforcing serious rules then the school board
ends up with the onus of resulting damage. However, in an effort
to curtail, curb and inhibit certain behaviors in our children’s
schools the Frederick County
school board is working hard to
make sure it doesn’t happen at all
… before it happens.
The school division collaborates with the Frederick County
Sheriff ’s Department using specially trained dogs to conduct
the search which included the
building and the parking lot at
Sherando on Friday. Sheriff Williamson could not be reached for
comment at time of printing.
In essence what the student/
parent handbook states is this: the
Frederick County Public Schools
seeks to maintain a safe and orderly environment in all schools.
In an effort to deter the presence of illegal substances at the
schools, the schools in conjunction with the Sheriff ’s office will
conduct random drug searches of
occupied school buildings. These
searches will consist of several
teams of trained officers using
drug-sniffing dogs. The dogs possess a passive disposition and will
be utilized in searches of both the
building and the parking areas.
It reminds me of the fire drills
that were commonplace when I
went to school but others might
even be reminded of the bomb
drills. An alarm would go off
and kids were instructed in one
of two ways. At one time they
were sent out into the hall, in-
Schools
structed to sit on the floor with
their heads down and place their
school books over their heads,
while during another time others
hovered under their school desks
until the coast was clear.
I think I’d rather endure a random drug check than worry
about a bomb hitting the school,
but I digress. The point is times
change and we have to be aware
of not only what is going on in
the schools our children attend
but what we as parents can do to
help and cooperate. The point is
to make them safe because that’s
what the policy is designed for
and that’s why its used.
Edwards says, “Safety is a top
priority for Frederick County
Public Schools and we work collaboratively with the Frederick
County Sheriff ’s Office to maintain a safe and drug-free environment in all of our schools.
Friday’s search at Sherando was
not prompted by any particular
situation. It was simply part of
our effort to keep our students,
staff and facilities safe.”
It is apropos to end with Dylan’s
last stanza, “The line it is drawn
the curse it is cast, the slow one
now will later be fast, as the present now will later be past … and
the first one now will later be last,
for the times they are-a-changin’.”
That fits doesn’t it? The state
of affairs today that causes such
policies to be necessary is somewhat of a dye that’s been cast, all
we can do now is ask ourselves
what we can do individually to
improve on things after the fact.
The schools are taking the necessary steps they have to because
the times have changed, that’s the
reality of modern school life.

build a track record of on-time payments.
Take a close look at your credit
report from all three bureaus. It’s possible that there are debts still listed
(negative ones that show an overdue
balance) that were canceled during
bankruptcy. If there was a public
notice in the legal ads, the credit
bureaus will have seen it and should
note it in your records. If they haven’t,
insist that it be corrected.
When it comes to buying a house or
car after bankruptcy, there is always
someone who will give you a loan.
The problem is the astronomical interest rate you’ll surely be offered. Wait it
out. At some point (a year or two) you
could qualify for a loan at closer to
current interest rates. Use that time to
build your credit and save money for a
down payment.
If there are debts that were reaffirmed during bankruptcy (not discharged), use those as an example of
how you’ll pay your debts in the
future. Make all payments on time.
If you’ve been through bankruptcy,
you essentially have a clean slate and
can start new — but only if you don’t
make any mistakes.

Frederick County Schools to Celebrate
National School Lunch Week
Parents Invited To Eat Lunch with Their Children October 12-16
Frederick County Public Schools will be participating in a variety
of activities in recognition of National School Lunch Week October
12-16, 2009. National School Lunch Week was created in 1962
by President John F. Kennedy and is celebrated nationwide with
events and activities promoting the benefits of the National School
Lunch Program.
The theme of this year’s National School Lunch Week is “All-Star
School Lunch”. The National Basketball Association inspired campaign features five “basketball teams” which are each comprised
of healthy school lunch menu items and coached by a current or
former NBA/ WNBA player including Chris Paul, Dwight Howard,
Vince Carter, Steve Nash, and Diana Taurasi.
According to Frederick County Public Schools Food Service
Specialist Mary Borror, the Frederick County Public Schools’ nutrition department strives to see that all children have access to
healthy school meals and nutrition education and that the last child
served receives the same quality and choices as the first child
served. Borror adds that school lunches meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and are served in age appropriate portions.
In Frederick County Public Schools, about 1,200 breakfasts
and 8,000 student lunches are served on the average day. Over
the course of the school year, that adds up to more than 214,000
breakfasts and 1.4 million lunches. All of those meals are prepared and served by a team of 96 food service employees (fulltime equivalent positions).
Parents are encouraged to join their children at their schools to
enjoy lunch together during National School Lunch Week. Any
parents interested in eating lunch at school with their child are
asked to contact the school for details and to make the proper
arrangements.
King Features Weekly Service
While a bankruptcy will stay on your
credit report for 10 years, it doesn’t
mean you’re out of luck for that whole
time when it comes to getting new
credit.
You’ll likely get stacks of offers in
the mail for secured credit cards as
soon as your bankruptcy notice hits
the legal ads. Secured cards can be a
good first step, but not all cards are the
same. With a secured card, you send
the company money to keep on
deposit, and it essentially loans you
back your own funds (typically in the
hundreds of dollars) in the form of a
credit card.
It’s the fees you need to watch for.
There will be application fees, annual
fees, upfront fees, participation fees
— and before you know it, the few
hundred dollars you put on deposit are
gone.
Beware offers of unsecured cards for
the same reason. The interest rate is
likely to be very high. Additionally, if
the card company doesn’t report your
payments to the credit bureaus, it
doesn’t do you any good. You need to

named AP Scholars. Millbrook
High School students Devin
Connelly and Kenneth Maben
as well as 2009 Millbrook graduates Patrick Federico, Chelsea
Marshall, and Meghan Strosnyder also were named AP Scholars. James Wood High School’s
AP Scholars include current students James Cave, Bianca Hamp,
Austin Woodall and 2009 graduates Cory Chipman, Haley Krem,
Johnathan Mendes and Lauren
Zitsch. The AP Scholar Award is
given to students who complete
three or more AP exams with
grades of three or higher.
Eight Frederick County students qualified for the AP Scholar
with Honor Award by earning an
average grade of at least 3.25 on
all AP exams taken and grades of
3 or higher on four or more of the
exams. Those students include
Garrett Klausner and Peter Restrepo from Sherando as well as
2009 Sherando graduate Marisa
Adhikusuma. Millbrook seniors
Evan Boyle, Andrew Hemmen,
Daniel Mead and Sarah Smith
also have been recognized as an
AP Scholar with Honor along
with 2009 James Wood graduate
Kim-Anh Tran.
Frederick County Public Schools
also had a dozen students qualify
for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award. Those students include 2009 Sherando High School
graduates Gina Ayers, Erik Barbieri, Adam Compton, Nikita
Glushkov, and Megan O’Connell;
Millbrook High School senior Alexander Breeden and 2009 graduates Emma Backus, Calvin Hunt
and Jacob Leonardis; and 2009
James Wood High School graduates Joseph Damron, John Kent
and Brandon Minor. To qualify
for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award, a student must earn
an average grade of at least 3.5 on
all AP exams taken, and grades of
3 or higher on five or more of the
exams.
The College Board’s Advanced
Placement Program offers students the opportunity to take
challenging college-level courses
while still in high school, and to
receive college credit, advanced
placement, or both for successful
performance on the AP exams.
The AP Scholar Awards recognize students who have demonstrated college-level achievement
through AP courses and exams.
AP Scholars receive an award
certificate and their achievement
is acknowledged on any AP Score
Report that is sent to colleges in
the fall.
Through more than 30 different college-level courses and exams, AP provides students with
the opportunity to earn college
credit or advanced placement
and stand out in the college admissions process. More than
3,600 colleges and universities
worldwide accept AP for college
credit, advanced placement or
both on the basis of successful
AP exam grades. According to
the College Board, research has
The news
found that students who score a 3
or higher on AP Exams (based on
a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being
the highest) typically experience
greater academic success in college and higher graduation rates
than students who do not participate in AP.
Frederick County Schools Superintendent Patricia Taylor
says, “Students who excel in AP
courses demonstrate dedication
and commitment to their studies.
We are to have 44 AP Scholars,
including a National Scholar, this
year. AP is one of the many opportunities our school division
offers to students to ensure they
receive an excellent education
and are prepared to move on to
higher education or the world of

Shoppers throng to new Salvation Army thrift store
Stephens City now has new local shop to leave donations or find a bargain

The Sherando Times
On a beautiful autumn Saturday morning, the Salvation Army
of Winchester opened its new
Thrift Store at 124 Fairfax Pike in
Stephens City on October 3. The
new location boasts over 10,000
sq. ft. of retail space and sells
garments, small appliances, furniture, jewelry, bric-a-brac, and
other merchandise.
Just minutes before the official ribbon cutting, Salvation
Army Winchester Corps Officer
in charge Major Daniel Turner
and other community leaders
addressed the crowd gathering
in front of the store. “We have a
number of board members who
have worked very hard for today.
It’s been three years in the making,” Turner told the eager onlookers.
“We’ve
had
merchandise
enough to supply this store for a
long, long time. We’ve been hiding stuff from the Fire Marshall
and just couldn’t hide it anymore
in Winchester,” Turner quipped.
These are tough times, real
tough times. That’s why it real
important for us to have something like this where you can buy
something and feel like you can
afford what you need.”

Joy Shull, Vice Mayor of Stephens City, thanked the growing
crowd. “Its such a pleasure to see
so many people show up. We have
a wonderful day for shopping. On
behalf of the town of Stephens
City we welcome the Salvation
Army store to our community
and we hope shoppers will return
many days. ”
Incoming Advisory Board

also briefly addressed the waiting shoppers. “Thank all of you

wonderful store and we can all be
proud to shop here”.

“Anybody whose church is in
Frederick or Clarke County that
might want to consider an outreach mission as part of your
ministry, talk to your pastor or
get me an entrée where I can
say something. The first church
or group that steps forward can,
with our program, do a social
service program out of here and
issue vouchers out of this store to
help people.”
“We could give them an office
back there. That would be kinda
cool. I thought that way we could
put it into church bulletins and
we get some donations and volunteers and it again would be a
win/win for everybody.”
“Our inventory is all donation - we don’t buy anything. At
this point it all came from our
Winchester location but starting Monday those who had been
trekking to the Winchester Store
to drop stuff off can now leave
things here. We won’t process
here but will take items up there
for clean up and price and return
them to this Stephens City location,” Turner added.
The organization runs a similar
8,500-square-foot store at 404
Weems Lane in Winchester.
Major Turner described Saturday’s opening as “phenomenal”
and said that sales exceeded his
goal of $10,000. He added that
he expects activity to then “settle
in and hopefully clear $1,500 to
$2,000 a day.”
Money from the store goes to
support Salvation Army programs including the 48-bed
homeless shelter at 300 Fort Collier Road in Frederick County.
Last year the organization served
over 58,000 meals at that facility and another 10,600 meals
through their Children’s Summer
Feeding Program.
Store cashiers are allowed to
accept cash, credit cards and
checks up to $99 “checks above
that amount require prior approval” Turner said. The store
is open 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Monday through Saturday.
“One step closer and you’ll deal with me and my scissors!” Winchester Salvation Army Corps Officer in

Opinion
The president speaks and the school’s censor
Obama’s speech on education was a simple message - shouldn’t we be listening?
President Barack Obama delivering his “Back to
School” speech live on September 8th at Arlington’s
Wakefield High School
Opinion
By Lorie Showalter
The Sherando Times
I’m confused … I thought Commander in Chief was an authority
figure to be listened to and heard
by all?! What is with all the hoopla over President Barack Obama’s
“Back to School” speech recently? It’s been so controversial that
most people who’ve been polled
either won’t provide an opinion
when asked or if they do, request
not to be named. It makes one
wonder what country we’re living
in! Are we afraid of being ‘named’
and put on a list of all those who
supported his speech? Because
those people are the ones who,
on the whole, don’t want to be
quoted by name! What does that
mean?
An American President takes
the initiative to address American school children about the importance of education during the
2009 fall semester and it becomes
the cause of severe controversy
with individuals accusing him of
trying to pitch his arguments in
an aggressive manner in a local
education setting.
As most are already aware,
President Obama’s “Back to
School” speech was broadcast
live from Arlington’s Wakefield
High School September 8th to
the uproar of many parents for
and against the address being
aired in their children’s schools.
Some school districts around
the country would not air the
speech and some were urging
boycotts. Frederick County public schools received a number of
calls from citizens regarding the
President’s speech per Coordinator of Policy, Records Management and Communication
Steve
Edwards. On average some were
in favor of it being shown and still
there were others who did not
want “students exposed to the
speech.”
“A wide variety of opinions were
expressed,” said Edwards.
The Virginia Department of Education distributed information
to all school divisions across the
state indicating it was a local decision whether to have students
watch the Presidents speech live.
Within the Frederick County
school division a meeting was
held involving the Superintendent, two Assistant Superintendents and all principals and it was
decided that the school division
would not require students to
view the speech with the expectation being that teachers review
the speech for its fit with instructional priorities before deciding
whether to show it in class.
Those teachers who planned to
use the speech in the classroom
as part of their instruction plan
Springfield
Computers
were to work with their principals and provide parents with an
opportunity to opt their child out
of the viewing. Those students
who opted out would then be
provided with an alternate activity.
Being unable to poll individual
teachers as to how this turned
out in their classrooms and not
wanting to poke the hornets nest
more than it had already been aggravated, calling the principals to
find out more didn’t seem the wisest way to go. However, in polling

Opinion
about their view on it, all requesting to remain anonymous, here
are some of their remarks:
What some Frederick County
residents had to say
1) “As a parent, I was frustrated
by that because for many students nationwide it was the first
day back to school and it was
supposed to be a ‘do well have a
good year’ pep talk; and when a
country shows such brazen disrespect for its President and is
so suspicious that school systems
will not let the Commander in
Chief address school children, it
makes me sad!”
2) “For goodness sake, the White
House even sent a transcript of
the speech out, via press, prior to
the event so that school systems
would be assured there was no
hidden agenda.”
3) “Any speech that urges kids to
study and stay in school is great, I
didn’t see a hidden agenda and if
there was one, it wasn’t conveyed
to the kids which is the most
important part. I think its message was to stay in school, what’s
wrong with that?”
4) “Frederick County disallowed
all teachers from going with the
live speech and told them to tape
it, view it after the fact and look
for “teachable moments” to use at
a later date.”
5) “I no longer have children in
school but if the speech was just
a pep talk, do good in school, set
goals to achieve well, I’d see no
problem with it. If he was pushing any kind of health plan or his
goals I would be against it. Most
parents were upset more with the
idea ‘every child must watch this’,
this has never been done before
with this attitude.”
What Obama said
So what was all the hoopla
about? What did Obama say? If
you haven’t already checked it
out for yourself, all he said was,
“Take responsibility for your
education, go to class and listen.
Don’t let failures define you. We
need every single one of you to
develop your talents, skills and
intellect so you can help solve
our most difficult problems. If
you don’t do that, if you quit on
“All the work of parents, educators and others won’t matter unless you show up to those
schools and pay attention to those teachers.” – President Barack Obama
school, you’re not just quitting on
yourself, you’re quitting on your
country.”
Obama continued, “All the work
of parents, educators and others
won’t matter unless you show up
to those schools and pay attention to those teachers.”
The good news is that we now
know many parents are concerned with what’s happening in
the schools their children attend.
The bad news is that the schools
are put in the position of trying
to please everyone and we all
know ‘you can please some of the
people some of the time, but you
can’t please all of the people - all
of the time.”
Obama made no reference in his
prepared remarks to the tumult
surrounding his speech. Neither
did he make an appeal for support for his agendas such as his
proposed health care overhaul.
He used the speech to tell kids
about his own uncomfortable
and sometimes clumsy growing
up years and used it to urge children to set goals for themselves
and then work hard to realize
those goals.
He also said, “This isn’t just
important for your own life and
your own future. What you make
of your education will decide
nothing less than the future of
this country. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can
meet our greatest challenges in
the future.” Frankly that’s a pretty darn good speech when you
think about it. What an inspiring
message to give to children, to
remind them that what they do
with their life each day actually
affects their future. That’s a concept most children find difficult
to grasp but to hear it from the
President – it would have been
quite moving for a young person
especially live and in person.
When we have to censor the
president in our schools some
of us begin to wonder what that
means exactly; but understand
too, that does not place fault on
the schools. They have to react to
the parents who want the speech
shown as well as those who do
not. It gives them little choice
in the matter when the requests
from parents are divided. They
can no more force it to be played
than they can force children to
watch against parental wishes.
The only controversial part of
his speech, if this can be considered controversial and of course
it was, was when the education
secretary acknowledged that a
section about writing to the president on how students could help
‘him’ meet education goals was
poorly worded. Some believed it
should have been replaced with
‘help the country’ not the president. Even with that change made
in the text of the speech, if that’s
the worst he could say what horrible things might he say next?!
Well, if you’re worried about
what your children are hearing or
learning at school, talk to them
about it and see what they think,
keep communication with them
open. We need to stop sectioning ourselves off and stop listening only to people with whom
we agree. That’s called ‘breathing
your own exhaust’ and when we
listen to only what we want to
hear, what kind of country can
you say we live in? We have free
speech but just don’t let anyone
else who doesn’t agree with you
- hear it? That sounds convoluted
but we deal with conflicting views
on a daily basis.

Warriors net win over Skyline in three sets
Girls’ volleyball team keeps pace with Millbrook and James Wood in Northwestern district race.
Sherando girls volleyball coach Chuck Ashby confers with his team during a timeout in the second set of last Thursday’s Northwestern
District match with Skyline. The Hawks had just scored to narrow the Warriors lead to a point, 16-15. Sherando scored the next nine
points to seal the set and went onto win the match. Photos by Chuck Arthur.

The Sherando Times
There was more on the minds
of the Sherando girls volleyball
team members Thursday night
than just beating visiting Northwestern District opponent Skyline High School. While a victory
over the Hawks was important
to the Warriors remaining in the
running for the district title, a
match up 12 miles to the north
no doubt weighed heavily on
their minds.
The James Wood Colonels’ game
with the Millbrook Pioneers was
just as important. Wood (2-0 dis-
trict before Thursday’s game) had
beaten Sherando (1-1) in five sets
on its home floor in mid-September. A Millbrook (1-1) win would
even things up in the five-team
league, as Millbrook’s only district loss was to Sherando a week
earlier. A Pioneer loss would put
the Colonels in the driver’s seat
with the remaining teams looking up the standings.
As it turned out, all was positive
for Sherando. The Warriors easily
defeated Skyline 3-0 (25-9, 25-15,
25-9) and the Pioneers turned
back Wood, giving all three teams
one loss in the Northwestern.
“Skyline had some decent hit-
ters but we didn’t look like we
had a lot of intensity tonight,”
Sherando coach Chuck Ashby
said. “The girls played up-tempo

“Our goal tonight was to stay focused and finish,” senior libero Brooklyn Wilson said.
The second set was a little closer – for a while – as Skyline (1-1, 5-6) rallied
midway through the game to narrow the margin to just a point, 16-15. But the
Sirbaugh sisters – junior Megan (left) and sophomore Morgan (right) – once again
picked up the pace, scoring eight on the next nine points for the win.
Ashby alluded to, was the lack of
competition the Hawks provided.
Skyline was never in the first or
third sets, falling behind 11-7 and
22-9 in game 1 before Sherando
(2-1 district, 8-5 overall) took it
on three successive points.
The second set was a little closer – for a while – as Skyline (1-1,

game to narrow the margin to
just a point, 16-15. But the Sirbaugh sisters – junior Megan and

picked up the pace, scoring eight
on the next nine points for the
win.
Megan Sirbaugh provided the
Warriors with three aces in the
span while Morgan had five kills,
including the game winner.
The third and deciding set was
all Sherando as Skyline continually missed dig opportunities,
blocks and had several service errors.
“Except for the slowdown in the
second game, I thought we did
really well,” libero Brooklyn Wilson said. “Our goal tonight was to
stay focused and finish. And we
did finish.”

Wilson was down on her serving though. The senior said the
team doesn’t spend a lot of time
in practice working on individual
serving.”
Another Warrior concerned
about serving is junior hitter Lauren Wilkins who said her serving,
of late, is off.
“I had it for the Millbrook
game,” Wilkins said. “But for some
reason in the last two matches
[Washington, W.Va., and Skyline], I haven’t been as strong as I
would like. It must be in a couch

“I told them it was their JV football team and until they started doing their job, they weren’t going anywhere,” Sherando JV coach Brian Kibler said of his halftime speech. “We just didn’t have the intensity in the

scored twice to pace Sherando’s JV team to a 30-21 win over the Colonels. His
speed and elusiveness made for exciting times in Arrowhead Stadium as wouldbe Wood tacklers often came up empty as Ojo side-stepped his way downfield.

The Sherando Times
One thing’s for sure -- neither
the visiting James Wood junior
varsity football team nor Sherando gave the other football team
any ideas what the varsity is going to do Friday night when the
Warriors travel to Jerry Kellican
Stadium for the Northwestern
District opener.
After a haphazard first half at
Arrowhead Stadium in Stephens
City Monday night that saw the
Colonels take a 13-12 lead, Sherando’s defense finally found itself and gave its offense the spark
needed for a 30-21 victory.
“It was definitely a tale of two
halves,” Warrior coach Brian
Kibler said. “In the first half, we
just didn’t play assignment football. We did a bad job of doing
our job. That was the big part.”
It should be noted the junior
varsity hasn’t practiced as a team
for well over two weeks, having
spent their time being football
fodder for the varsity practices.
It took 20 minutes of football
for the Warriors to jell as a team
again.
Sherando (1-0 district, 4-0 overall) scored first early in the first
quarter when quarterback Lucas
Tunison snuck the ball over from
the 1 for a 6-0 advantage.
Wood (0-1, 3-2) answered back
with a 20-yard touchdown run by
running back Mark Collie with
1:26 left in the period.
Both teams would each score in
the second quarter as well. Sherando moved on top 12-7 when
Joseph Ojo swept to the right for
a seven-yard score. But Wood
followed suit on its next possession, moving 73 yards in 13
plays to take back the lead, 13-12.
Quarterback Jake Lewin passed
three times to three different receivers for 51 yards and running
backs Chris Ewing and Collie alternated runs before Lewin broke
four tackles enroute to a fouryard touchdown. The PAT was
blocked.
Instead of ranting and raving
at halftime, Kibler quietly told
the team what they were doing
wrong and provided ways they
could improve.
“I told them it was their JV football team and until they started
doing their job, they weren’t go-
ing anywhere,” Kibler said of his
halftime speech. “We just didn’t
have the intensity in the first half
that we needed to have. Our defensive line wasn’t doing its job
and neither was the secondary.”
It still took half a quarter for the
Warriors to figure out what Kibler
meant but an alert Andrew Cook
read Lewin like a book, stepped
in front of a receiver and intercepted a pass at the James Wood
26.
Cook stumbled and fell, setting
up Ojo’s 23 yard score from the
first play from scrimmage.
The 5-foot, 10-inch, 165-lb.
back ran up the gut before turning to the left post for the easy
score that would keep his team in
the lead the rest of the way. Ojo
finished the game with 145 yards
on 19 carries to lead both teams
rushing.
“Those were our biggest plays,”
Kibler said. “Andrew made the
read the way we coached them
and then [Ojo] scored.”
“The lack of tackling and executing our defense was our biggest problem,” Colonels coach
Brian Carter said.”We had a hard
time taking [Ojo] down.”
Tunison – who finished the
game with 10 of 14 passing for
181 yards – would later add
completions of 24- and 12-yards
to Cody Miller for touchdown
scores to make it 30-13.
Wood failed to respond after
the first touchdown but added
seven points on an 11-play, 54yard drive late in the game when
Lewin found Chad Potter alone
in the back of the end zone for a
11-yard completion.
The ensuing onside kick failed
to go the required 10 yards giving
the Warriors the win.
Reflecting on the game just
ended, Kibler added he wasn’t
sure Sherando’s JVs played up to
their level of play.
“I’m not sure we played to our
potential at any point of the game
but we got the win,” Kibler said.

When the first golfers tee it up
today in the Group AA, Region II
Golf Tournament on Sherando’s
home course in Rockland, many
of the Warriors will be back in
Stephens City attending class
or, if they’re lucky, watching the
tourney as spectators.
That’s the result of the Warrior’s
inconsistent play last week at the
Northwestern District Tournament held Sept. 29, at the Winchester Country Club.
Host John Handley High School
– which finished tied for third
with Sherando among the five
district teams during the regular
season used its home-field advantage in securing the tourney
title while posting a 335. James
Wood, which won the regular
season outright and the automat-
ic Region II berth, finished fourth
with a score of 261.
The Warriors – led by freshman
Chris Slater, who shot a 88 – finished third with a 359.
Skyline’s Zach Henry, the district’s Player-of-the-Year, fired an
amazing 70 on the hilly course
that was hampered all day by
cooler temperatures and wind
gusts approaching 40 miles per
hour. Henry was the only player
to break par on the 6,367-yard,
par-72 course but proved that
smart play and knowing how to
play in poor conditions can net
positive results.
“Zach plays in a lot of tournaments down in the Virginia Beach
area and is used to winds,” Sherando coach Rob Wright said.
Teammate Ryan Rettberg tallied a 3-over 75 for second and
Millbrook’s Matt Fazenbaker
scored an 81 for fourth. The
Sherando assistant golf coach Craig Bodenschatz
and head coach Rob Wright stand bundled against
the chill and winds during the Northwestern District
Golf Tournament, Sept. 29.
Sophomore Corey Hammons struggled during
the Northwestern District Golf Tournament
where he posted a 95 for
the Warriors. Hammons
found the rough here on
Hole No. 1 but saved par
on the 387-yard hole but
fell short on the par-5,
No. 6, where he shot a 9.
Judges placed three golfers (Kyle
Stickley, 77; Aubrey Wilkerson,
81 and Will McHugh, 83) in the
top six and that was the reason
Handley made the cut.
Joining Slater today will be
sophomore Cameron Wiseman
who carded an 89 and was the
last of six individuals not part of
the Wood or Handley teams, to
make the cut and move onto regional play.
Others competing for Sherando
included seniors Hunter Strosnider (90), John Judy (92), Tanner
Wise (94) and sophomore Corey
Hammons, who played No. 1 for
the Warriors in the tournament,
a 95.
“The wind bothered them and
they got frustrated,” Wright said.
“It wasn’t your typical day.”
Wright explained that the way
the wind was blowing in all the
different directions, one had to
be able to adjust and do it well.
“It was a two-club difference
for most of the players,” Wright
said. “But if the player is a highball hitter, the wind would catch
the ball and blow it back in your
face.”
The coach also said Handley
had the advantage playing on
their own course.
“Winchester is a private club
and unless a player from another
Cup at Rock Harbor Golf Course

Thursday that’s supposed to be a
special event for the three county

Wright added that while he’s

on, he hated to see his seniors go
out the way they did

the boards, athletically controlling the puck while shouting to
parent Chris Murray. Murray
said that Garrett had just started
playing last spring and liked it so
much he already owns a full complement of equipment, a helmet
with face shield, hockey gloves,
shin guards, in-line skates, elbow
pads and the required mouth
guard.
Another parent said her son
joined because he hopes to play
for the Winchester Generals
some day. The Generals are an
elite inline hockey organization
that competes against some of
the top inline hockey athletes in
the country in the American Inline Hockey League. The Generals have two teams: Major - Players are 18 plus years old, Minor
- Players are 16 plus years old.
They play their home games at
the Sportsplex arena.
Can anyone join the Apple
Capital league today? “We are
kinda on a waiting list basis right
now because we actually ran out
of equipment, we had about 40
sets (for new skaters) and it was
so popular that we ran out,” Lang
said. “The Sportsplex is actually
getting more equipment in. We
are a for profit business and so we
don’t have any grant money coming in or non-profit fundraisers
to help (with the cost).”
“This past summer we held
three, free, week long instructional hockey camps to a total of
seventy five kids. Sportsplex provided qualified instructors, and
Dan Whitacre, Owner of Instant
Replay Sports, provided free rental gear to all players. Many had a
really great time, and made us believe we could get a “free to new
players” league off the ground!”
said Lang.
Lang
announced
another
chance for potential hockey players to learn hockey and play like
the pros for free. Sportsplex will
be offering multiple dates for the
beginner hockey player to further
their skills by again offering a free
clinic to kids four to twelve. Instant Replay Sports will provide
full gear and in-line skates free.
Lang said the free “one kid, one
clinic” will be held 11a.m. to noon
on October 3, 10, 17, & 31, and
on December 12 & 19. Each clinic
is limited to 25 kids. You can register on line at www.sportsplex.

Sherando band hosts golf tournament
2nd annual ‘Fright Flight’ fundraiser held at Blue Ridge Shadows golf club

Ball Foursome take serious aim on the green

By Lorie Showalter
and Chuck Arthur
The Sherando Times
The Sherando High School
Band Booster Association hosted
its second annual “Fright Flight
Golf Tournament” Friday, October 2nd at the Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club which began at 11
a.m. with relatively calm weather,
sunny skies and a tee-time temperature in the mid-60’s.
According to GPS Outfitters,
tournament director and entrant
Dave Ryberg , thirty-two players
signed up for the tournament
raising over $3,000 for the band.
Proceeds of the tournament go
towards helping band students
attend their spring trip, funding
for college scholarships and the
purchase of new equipment and
uniforms.
Unfortunately and as usual to
blame - the slump in economy,
the band did not raise as much
as last years event for the “Fright
Flight” golf tournament, however
given twenty-two less players
than last year, the band boosters
at least came out of the game with
earnings making their efforts not
entirely in vain.
Winners for the Captains
Choice/Best Ball Foursomes
were John, Ed, Ray and Gary
Judy. (John Judy is a Sherando senior and a member of the school’s
golf team that just finished third
in the Northwestern District Golf
Tournament last Tuesday at the
Winchester Country Club.) Dubbing themselves ‘The Four Judy’s’
or as one of them said, “We’re the
Clark Gable Special” team and
when asked how they fared during the tournament stated they
thought they’d done “pretty well
for the course and whether we
did or didn’t it’s for a good cause”
- which is just the outlook and
good-time attitude one might
expect from a family team enterprise.
Longest Drive winner went to
John Judy, Closest-to-Pin went
to Ray O’Hare and finalist for the
$10,000 putting contest went to
Mark Nardone who “made a valiant attempt at a 60-foot on the
18th green” notes Ryberg.
“Fright Flight” is named such
because it is part of the Hallow-
een fundraising by the Sherando
high school band booster association. They also put on a ‘Safe
Halloween’ event at the school
for the kids (details below). The
‘Safe Halloween’ night and “Fright
Flight” are fund raisers conceptualized by the Band Boosters
which is held in the month of October and inspired by the popular
holiday.
According to Sherando high
school’s Director of Bands Ryan
Dempsey, “this year’s band is
comprised of over 100 students
who’ve been working hard on this
year’s show ‘Zorro’ and in addition to marching during halftime
the band helps fire up the crowd
with pep band performances
during home and away games,”
the band has been busy this year
and hosting the golf tournament
is just one more aspect of their
dedication to the cause.
The Band Boosters is staffed by
volunteers so that 100% of their
net earnings go to support the
Sherando band. Since the band
eliminated individual fund raising
accounts and became a 501 it’s
been a challenge to adopt a true

all for one, one for all philosophy
and the golf tournaments have
shown the kids and band parents
it is possible to succeed, says one
source who requested to remain
anonymous and adopts the “we’re
all in this together and credit goes
to all” spirit. (The band is in the
process of developing a 501 (c) 3
non-profit organization so that
sponsorships and donations for
the golf tournament would be tax
deductible.)
As mentioned in two of our previous articles on band fund raising (see R.E. Aylor band articles
in previous issues online) when
department cuts are made and
budgets get tight, band members
and directors get nervous and
begin to raise funds on their own
to keep themselves solvent. The
Sherando Band Booster Association is no different. With costs of
travel, uniforms and instruments
rising every year, fundraising for
these events becomes a necessity
and an enormous undertaking
for those involved.
The tournament is one of three
fundraising events the group
holds each year to purchase new
uniforms and instruments and
to assist band members for their
many trips and competitions.
The remaining fund-raisers include selling the Pride Card that
enables purchasers to earn dis-

seeds on a sheet of waxed or parchment paper, or on lightly oiled aluminum foil paper.

The seeds will become crisper as they

eat them whole. Store in an airtight
container.

Pumpkins are one of the highpoints
of the fall harvest. The fruit originated
in Central America. Pumpkins — like
cantaloupes, cucumbers and squash
— belong to the Cucurbitaceae or
gourd family. Most of the pumpkins
that are grown in the United States are
from Illinois and become available in
October.
Whole pumpkins and the carved
pumpkin shell are often used as decorative items. The interior pulp is a
nutritious addition to savory and
sweet dishes, but don’t throw out the
seeds! Pumpkin seeds make a tasty
snack that’s low in calories, high in
protein and rich in fiber, as well as vitamins B, E and K, and zinc, iron and
magnesium. Pumpkin seeds also contain many beneficial fatty acids and
amino acids.
The flat, dark-green pumpkin seeds,
or pepitas as they are often called, are
covered with a yellow-white husk.
Pepitas are a key ingredient in
Mexican recipes, and are often used in
the cuisines of many other cultures.
Toasted pumpkin seeds add a nutritious crunch when used as a topping
for sautéed vegetables or salads.
Grinding pumpkin seeds with garlic,
parsley or cilantro and adding olive oil
and lemon juice to the mixture makes
a wonderful salad dressing. Pumpkin
seeds are also a delicious addition to
oatmeal-raisin cookies or granola
recipes.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You
could be caught in a torrent of advice
from well-meaning friends and colleagues this week. But remember,
Lamb, you are at your best when you
are your own inimitable self.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Expect strong efforts to get you to
accept things as they are and not question them. But ignore all that and continue your inquiries until you’re sure
you have all the answers you need.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Heavier than usual family and workplace
duties compete for your time this
week. Try to strike a balance so that
you’re not overwhelmed by either.
Pressures ease by week’s end.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s a
good time for the Moon Child to show
off your uniquely inspired approach to
the culinary skills — especially if
they’re directed toward impressing
someone special.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) You
might be happy about the re-emergence of a long-deferred deal. But
don’t pounce on it quite yet. Time can
change things. Be sure the values you
looked for before are still there.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Try to rein in your super-critical
attitude, even if things aren’t being
done quite as you would prefer.
Remember: What you say now could
create an awkward situation later on.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Although you can expect on-thejob cooperation from most of your colleagues this week, some people might
insist on knowing more about your
plans before they can accept them.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Creating another way to do
things is commendable. But you could
find some resistance this week from
folks who would rather stick with the
tried-and-true than try something new.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) You usually can keep
your aim focused on your goal. But
you might need to make adjustments
to cope with unsteadiness factors that
could arise over the course of the
week.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) News arrives about a projected move. Be prepared to deal with
a series of possible shifts, including
starting and finishing times, and how
much the budget will actually cover.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new relationship needs time
to develop. Let things flow naturally. It
could be a different story with a workplace situation, which might require
faster and more focused attention.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Accept a compliment without trying to
troll for any hidden reason beyond
what was said. After all, don’t you
deserve to be praised every now and
then? Of course you do.
BORN THIS WEEK: You like to
weigh all possibilities before making a
decision. You would be a fine judge, or
even be a star in a jury room.

Winners for the Captains Choice/Best Ball Foursomes were John, Ed, Ray and Gary Judy

their way to winning the Captains Choice
shots - went to the far right, but
he was able to find one of the
balls, the special yellow ‘SpongeBob’ ball - sitting in the rough
about fifty yards behind the senior’s and women’s tee box. This
was the ball no one wanted to
lose sight of because the ‘SpongeBob’ ball allowed golfers to play
on each hole and if the ball wasn’t
lost during the course of the 18hole round, it could be turned in
for a special prize.
With three tee shots either outof-play or short, it was left to 65year-old Bohnet to be the savior
on the team. While the other two
teammates went in search of their
balls, Bohnet drove his cart to the
Gold Tee and waited for Nardone
and Ryberg to catch up.
Bohnet’s shot hooked over the
hillock but fortunately found itself short of the pond hugging the
first green. From there the team
managed to bounce a ball off the
stone wall separating the pond
from the green and settled for a
bogey.
SpongeBob ball in the woods on
Hole No. 5 Ryberg humorously
deadpanned “Nardone was the
one who hit it into the woods …
he hit a mammoth 260-yard drive
and we searched high and low for
it for a good five minutes, then
we had a small ceremony and
declared we were glad to be free
of the pressure given our performance [the SpongeBob ball] is in
a better place now.”
All thirty-two entrants are winners for enrolling and supporting
the Sherando high schools Band
Booster fund raising efforts and
we applaud you for staying the
course for such a worthy cause!

counts at local restaurants and
stores and Retail Gift Cards that
benefit both the booster organization and the buyers of the
cards. Ryberg said many people
purchase $500 to $700 worth of
the $100 gift cards redeemable
at such stores as Kohls, Martins
and Food Lion and use it in their
monthly budgeting for food,
clothing and gasoline.
“The stores give us five percent
off every $100 card for selling
them and our buyers get 100 percent of product. We’d rather do
these types of fundraising rather
than have the kids sell candy,”
says Ryberg.
The Band Boosters would like
to thank Don Beyer Volvo, Royal
United, American Woodmark,
Nerangis Enterprises, William
Stieble, DDS, Rotz Pharmacy, My
Mobile Mechanic and Chic-Fil-A
for their support in the second
annual Fright Flight Golf Tournament.
The play-by-play
Dave Ryberg, tournament director and father to Sherando
high school graduate Megan Ryberg, hit his ball deep into the
woods on the par four 376-yard
hole and jokingly said he was glad
the tournament was a Captain’s
Choice format and hoped his fellow teammates would help him
out.
Ryberg’s partners, Olney, Maryland resident and life-long friend
Mark Nardone and Ryberg’s father-in-law Dick Bohnet who
hails from Silver Spring, Maryland gave it their best ‘shots’ during the tournament in support of
the Sherando band boosters and
have a little fun in the process.

Winners of the Best Ball Foursomes went to the team of John,
Ed, Ray and Gary Judy. Second
place team was Blaine Lowery,
Steve “Bones” Boettner, Darrell
Feltner and Randy Orndorff.
Ray O’Hare took the Closest-to-the-Pin honors (14-feet,
6-inches) on the par-3, 166-yard
Hole No. 12 and John Judy won
the Longest Drive Contest on
Hole 2.
Mark Nardone was the finalist
for the $10,000 Putting contest
and came close in his attempt at
the required 60-foot putt on the
18th-green.
The Judy team and the team of
Galen Snider, Dean Whitace and
Don Johnson each managed to
hang onto the ‘SpongeBob’ ball
and picked up a special prize for
that honor.
