By Linwood Outlaw III - loutlaw@nvdaily.com FRONT ROYAL -- After years of planning and months of construction, Warren County's new 15,000-square-foot skate park will open today.

"This tarantula lived in my office for almost 10 years." That now-dead tarantula, which he named after a fellow pathologist in Leesburg, sits inside a clear, plastic box. "I think it's neat to walk in and see all the things he's got around," said Joseph DeLozier, a first assistant in the operating room for open-heart and bariatric surgery. "It would take more than that to creep me out, all that I've seen." Dillingham's fascination with insects of all kinds started at an early age, when he lived in Panama and his father worked for a branch of Florida State University in the Canal Zone. Central America, where he traveled a lot as a child,...

STRASBURG - They lived in the Shenandoah Valley more than 12,000 years ago. They climbed the Blue Ridge Mountains and used the Shenandoah River, and they traveled throughout Fort Valley. Scholars know they were here because they left behind artifacts, but no one knows their name or what happened to them.

On a recent Tuesday afternoon, Winchester resident LaMishia Allen gathered with some friends at Samuels Public Library. The scene was casual as the group took some time to reconnect quickly before settling down to work, but their pens were out, their laptops open. They were not there to socialize. They had come to talk shop.
