Delegate Lingamfelter presents resolution to commend The Cold War Museum Delegate L. Scott Lingamfelter (R- Prince William and parts of Fauquier) presented a resolution to Midlothian resident Francis Gary Powers, Jr. to commend his work on behalf of the Cold War Museum. Patroned by Delegate Lingamfelter, House Joint Resolution 189 was introduced and passed by the General Assembly during the 2010 session. Francis Gary Powers, Jr. is the son of Francis Gary Powers, a CIA pilot whose U-2 spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960. After 21 months and nine days, Powers was released in Potsdam, Germany and returned to the United States. To memorialize all those who served during the Cold War, Francis Gary Powers, Jr. and John Welch founded The Cold War Museum in 1996. Located at Vint Hill, Virginia in Fauquier County, the museum takes permanent residence on the site of the former Vint Hill Farms Station used during the Cold War by the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the United States Army to safeguard the United States against a nuclear attack. Previously a mobile exhibit, the Cold War Museum travelled around the world promoting interest in the creation of a permanent facility. In December of 2009, the museum signed a lease with the Vint Hill Economic Development Authority (EDA), the owner of the 695-acre former U.S. Army communications base. With the financial support from the Vint Hill EDA and the Fauquier County Industrial Development Authority (FCIDA), the museum plans to open its doors to the public in 2011. According to Powers, “The Cold War Museum is fortunate to have found a home at Vint Hill in Fauquier County. Vint Hill is an appropriate location for The Cold War Museum because of its rich history as an Army Communication Base used during the Cold War to monitor electronic communications. We are excited about our new home and look forward to opening to the public in 2011.� “Since its founding in 1996, the Cold War Museum has sought to preserve the local and regional history of the Cold War and to honor those men and women who served valiantly in our armed forces to defeat communism and promote stability world-wide. Thanks to the generous support

Bryant & Stratton College donates over $1,000 to Domestic Violence Task Force In recognition of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Bryant & Stratton College has donated $1,000 to the Chesterfield County Domestic Violence Task Force. The donation will enable the task force to reprint 40,000 emergency information and referral cards for distribution to potential victims of domestic violence throughout the region. “It is exciting to see an educational institution such as Bryant & Stratton acknowledge the need for awareness about domestic violence,� said Jacqueline Dean, chair of the Chesterfield County Domestic Violence Task Force. “The staff is, indeed, an inspiration for their efforts to educate students about healthy relationships, and for helping to spread the word about the prevention and intervention of domestic violence incidents. The task force is honored to be the recipient of this donation to assist in our work.� While presenting the gift, Bryant &
Stratton’s Virginia Campus Director Beth Murphy said that two of the local college’s students have died in the last three years as a result of domestic violence. She expressed appreciation for the task force’s work and noted that the college has a responsibility to help women in need. The Chesterfield County campus serves 1,800 students each year. Eighty percent are women. The Chesterfield County Domestic Violence Task Force is a coalition of agencies and concerned citizens dedicated to providing leadership in preventing and responding to domestic violence in the community. The emergency information and referral card is a compact card with phone numbers to local resources for domestic violence victims.
