Court must okay Dangerous Dog classification

County hopes court oversight will protect dog owners from frivolous complaints
By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Despite some misgivings expressed by one citizen (and probably felt by at least a few county dog owners in recent weeks) at the public hearing prior to its vote, the Warren County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved amendments to the county code concerning the classification of and processing fees for the classification of Dangerous Dogs. The changes include a court determination that a dog is dangerous based on its actions; that restitution be paid to any person or pet owner who was or whose pet was harmed by a dog deemed dangerous by the court; and that certain fees be paid to keep registration of dangerous dogs current annually. Those fees are $150 for an initial certificate from Animal Control for a dog deemed dangerous and an annual $85 fee to the county treasurer included updates on the dangerous dogs status and location. The initial $150 fee must be acquired within 45 days of the court determination of the dangerous dog status and the annual $85 fee must be paid by Jan. 31 of each year. In questioning the wisdom of the changes, Herb Dunkel asked the county board if they might not be setting the groundwork for one person in a neighborhood who doesnt like dogs to create a hardship for owners? Dunkel prefaced his next comment on potential economic hardships for dog owners, Excuse my French, but the economy sucks I dont care what these clowns have planned for after November, Dunkel said of the major party candidates for president (right on, Herb!). I consider my dog a part of the family and I dont think this is legally or morally correct. In prefacing her motion to approve the changes to county codes, South River Supervisor Linda Glavis asked Assistant County Attorney Dan Whitten to respond to some of Dunkels concerns. Whitten said the new requirement of a court determination that a dog fits the criteria the county finds dangerous, essentially attacking persons or other animals, should prevent frivolous accusations by the kind of dog hater Dunkel cited. He said the rest of the code was state mandated and the $150 dangerous dog registration fee was already on the books. The only significant financial change was raising the annual registration update fee from $35 to $85. Satisfied with those explanations, the board approved Glaviss motion, seconded by Richard Traczyk, by a unanimous voice vote.

Postmortem: DCs newest October Surprise

The consequence of management arrogance in Strasburg shutdown
By Dave Zirin The Washington Nationals, after winning 100 games and having the best record in baseball have been vanquished by the St. Louis Cardinals in five games in the opening round of Major League Baseballs maddening postseason. Its deeply embittering, not least of all because it didnt have to happen. In our local DC newspapers, theres always ample evidence of the arrogance of power backed by a compliant media. The sports section is hardly immune to this dynamic of the Beltway Bubble. When the Washington Nationals made the unprecedented and now clearly unconscionable decision to sit their ace Stephen Strasburg for the playoffs, there were howls of protest and derision: but almost all of them were from outside the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia buffer zone. Inside the Beltway, the move was lauded as a master stroke. Team general manager Mike Rizzo justified the shutdown by saying that they were saving Strasburg because his All-Star arm had reached its inning limit. After all argued Rizzo, the team would need Strasburg in top form for the playoff games in the future. As Rizzo said, in a quote that enraged opposing General Managers and reverberated with anabolic hubris, Well be back and doing this a couple more times. Imagine this being done in any other baseball town. In Boston, if the Red Sox had tried to shut down Curt Schilling in 004, there would have been civil disobedience in front of Fenway Park. But inside DC, great columnists like the Washington Posts sage Thomas Boswell had nothing but aggressive contempt for those who objected to the shutdown. As the great baseball poet wrote on September , in now very unfortunate prose, So all of the pundits who say the Nats cant go to the Series or even win it, just because they wont have Strasburg, can kiss my press pass. To be clear, I had no problem with having a strict inning count for Strasburg and safeguarding his health. But why not sit him, as future hall of fame pitcher John Smoltz suggested, in July or August? Why not save him for when the team would need him most? The counter-argument that you cant shut down a pitcher and re-start him again is more baseball lore than it is science. [Proof of that was seen in the Cardinals own old ace, the 38-year-old Chris Carpenter, shut down for much of the year who returned to flummox the Nats in game three.] I have no problem with caring about his health. I do have a problem with the Nats tanking this season out of arrogance and the media whipping a new, unsteady, colt-like baseball fan base into going along with the ride. The baseball post-season can be an unpredictable, mind-bending experience where, as the Nationals found out, having the opposition down to its last out or even last strike doesnt mean a

thing. Its a time when leaving a team especially a veteran, resourceful team like the Cardinals - even a pinhole of oxygen can lead to a cascade of horror. The only truism in post-season baseball is that an ace pitcher, like some kind of Gandalfian wizard, can conquer all the dark magic the postseason can conjure. We saw this in Detroit series where defending Tigers Cy Young winner Justin Verlander shut out the pixie-dusted Oakland Athletics in their decisive Game 5. It happened in New York, where the great CC Sabathia broke the will and the bats of the fairy-tale Baltimore Orioles in their Game 5. Stephen Strasburg is DCs Verlander, DCs Sabathia. His moment was Game 5. Mike Rizzo took that away from this fan base. He took it away from a city that had poured $1billion in public money into Nationals Park. He took it away from a team that showed all
season that this could have been their year. Rizzo, Boswell, and the all who defended this decision should have the courage and the sense of shame to say that they were dead wrong. The true legacy of the Strasburg shutdown, was shutting down an unforgettably beautiful season, leaving a legacy that tastes worse than chewing on dry aspirin. The arrogance of management and an unquestioning local media: it will get you every time. [Managing editors note: Amen Dave, I have been preaching the post-All Star break, July-August shutdown or slowdown option as a no brainer since the Strasburg inning limit went public.

Presidential Neighbors
Imagine you could pluck a U.S. president from the pages of history and install him as your next-door neighbor. Who would you choose? A popular historical figure like George Washington might seem an obvious choice, but you wouldnt want George as a neighbor. He would sneak onto your property under the cover of darkness and chop down all your fruit trees while you slept. Oh sure, in the morning, he would knock on your door, guiltridden, seeking forgiveness. But that would be little consolation come springtime with no cherry pies to take to the church bake sale. And dont think Thomas Jefferson would make a cool neighbor, either. Sure, according to Wikipedia, he spoke five languages and was deeply interested in science, invention, architecture, religion and philosophy. But who wants a smart-aleck living next door? As the only president to never marry, James Buchanan would probably hold disruptive bachelor parties every weekend. He might scare the children, too, since he suffered from an odd condition called wryneck, resulting in his head always leaning to the left. Explain to the kids this is normal, for a Democrat. You wouldnt want Richard Nixon living next door either. According to most biographies, he was nar-

cissistic, secretive, and suspicious not endearing qualities in a neighbor. With tricky Dick on the other side of the fence, youd end up a neurotic wreck: during backyard cookouts, youd continually be checking the coleslaw for bugs. However, not all presidents would make bad neighbors. Abraham Lincoln would be a great practical asset to any community. Before he entered politics, he worked on the family farm wielding an axe with great skill to build rail fences. So you could count on Abe to help with the firewood in December. Nevertheless, if he invited you to accompany him to the theater one night, skip it. Often unfairly portrayed as a boozer, Ulysses S. Grant was a decent man of good character and would make a fine neighbor. Unfortunately, he was a poor judge of people when it came to political appointments his administration was one of the most corrupt due to the scoundrels he unwittingly selected. So as a neighbor, if he ever recommended a plumber, go to the Yellow Pages instead. Another good neighbor would be George H.W. Bush. A kind man, he and Barbara would always be willing to lend a neighborly cup of sugar; but if you ever ran out of broccoli, dont expect George to return the favor. George W. Bush would make a good neighbor, too. He would be personable, easy-going, and probably a lot of fun. I could also see George Jr., as the neighborhood practical joker, ringing door bells late at night, then running away claiming, Cheney did it! As possibility the coolest president in recent his-
tory, Bill Clinton would be a hoot for a neighbor. But for those of you with 0-year-old daughters, I know what youre thinking: No way Id want him next door! Dont worry, hes no longer chasing after young women, or Big Macs. Besides, Hillary would have invisible fencing around the property and a permanent electric collar attached to Bills neck. Barack Obama would make a nifty neighbor, too. As an energetic community organizer, expect him to also be active in the local Homeowners Association. Of course, there would always be doubters wanting proof that he actually did have membership. And when it came to yard maintenance, expect him to insist that residents with extra fertilizer do their fair share, and spread it around to those having less. Along these lines, Im including Mitt Romney since he may be our next president. I could easily see the good Governor working the barbeque grill during a block party especially if he was running for president of the Homeowners Association. Of course, theres bound to be some in the community who might object to the Romneys because of their megawealth. Really? Maybe those folks would prefer a house load of Wall Street occupiers living next door instead? One note of caution, however. If Mitt volunteered to drive your sick dog to the vet, politely decline.

Donations for the Silent Auction Dennis L. Henry, fundraising chairman this year; the Reverend C. Thomas Rhyne, pastor of the Front Royal Presbyterian church and chairman of the Board for 17 years; Dr. Furadoon Irani; and Executive Director Dr. Glenn Burdick
By Carol Ballard Warren County Report This years annual benefit dinner and auction fundraiser for the 16year-old St. Luke Community Clinic was held at the Shenandoah Valley Golf Club on Sept. 9 and their anticipated goal of $35,000 was met and exceeded, with proceeds from the evenings fun bringing in $39,000. This sum will go a long way to provide care for needy patients. For each dollar spent, St Lukes will provide six dollars worth of health care services to our patients, states the charitys website. The main room was full of convivial and generous patrons who came out to enjoy the excellent food and companionship, with the knowledge that it was all for a good cause. Everybody was very pleased with the venue, and pleased with the arrangement. It was a real success and we hope to have it here again next year, said Executive Director Dr. Glenn Burdick. Tables were set up to display valuable items donated by local artists and sponsors for the silent auction. Later bidding at the not-so-silent auction was conducted by experienced auctioneer Tom Eshelman. Several of the donated items were original art works and hand-crafted items, making the donations especially exceptional. A custom-built sofa table, the top made from exotic African Moabi hard wood, with ebonized New Zealand pine legs and frame by Dr. Furadoon Irani was one of the more valuable donations. Just a few of the many items to be raffled or sold to the highest bidders at the live auction included treats like: a beach vacation donated by Ron and Corinne Llewellen and a five-course dinner for eight people by Douglas and Kathy Napier. Others meant to be enjoyed for entertainment and eating pleasure included experiences like: a Stay and Play Golf Package donated by the Shenandoah Valley Golf Club and day-long passes to Disney World; or a year-long monthly free pizza donated by Westy Bachelor of Melting Pot Pizza, and a half-side of beef from Big Sky Ranch. There were so many more donations and all were very much appreciated. Chances to win the seven-day Carnival Pride cruise for two from Baltimore to Bahamas from April 1-8, 013, are still available and may be purchased from Maria Dutton at Passages Travel and Cruises after Dec. 1. A drawing will be held on Jan.13, 013. Maria is also on the St. Lukes fundraising committee and can be contacted for more information on how to donate. Call her at 540-636140 or visit www.passagesTravel. com. For those not familiar with St. Luke Community Clinic, it is located at 316 N. Royal Ave., and was co-founded by Dr. Furadoon Irani and the Reverend C. Thomas Rhyne to provide free medical care and discounted or free prescription medication for eligible adult Warren County residents, aged 18 to 64 who have no health insurance. One stipulation is that the total family income must be less than 00 per cent of the Federal Poverty Level. The clinic has been invaluable to the lives of many grateful clients. Some samples of responses to their experience at the clinic have been: What would you do for health care if St. Luke Community Clinic did not exist? Nothing. I would probably have to suffer until I couldnt anymore, wrote one. At this point in my life I would probably go into a diabetic coma. I would be lost, replied another.

Public safety
FRPD urges parent-child discussion of solicitation

Rumors expand documented incidents of recent approach by strangers
According to Chief Norman Shiflett, the Front Royal Police Department has recently received numerous calls from parents about suspicious incidents involving their children. An incident occurred on 10/4/01, which involved a white male asking a female juvenile if she wanted a ride. The female declined the offer and proceeded to her destination. The subject was described as a white male, short brown hair, a goatee, and between 30-40 years of age. The subject was driving a white Nissan car with front end damage to the passenger side headlight area. The second incident reported to the department was on 10/6/01 and occurred in the area of Bel Air Avenue. A white male in a blue Toyota 4 Runner drove up to female juveniles and made unsavory remarks to them as they were walking down the street. The juveniles fled down the street and the vehicle drove off. More recently, there were two incidents involving a suspect who has been identified and not related to the other previous incidents. These incidents are classified as suspicious, but no specific criminal violations have been identified. Chief Shiflett says that there has been an abundance of rumors and speculation about these incidents in town. Much of the information on the internet, Facebook in particular, has not been verified or deemed factual. Vehicle and suspect descriptions have changed considerably since the first incident occurred in early October. Front Royal police continue to check out each lead and tip called in since these incidents began. Parents are encouraged to open up a dialog between themselves and their children about dangers that may be encountered in their community. This is a great opportunity for parents to talk to their children about remaining alert and being aware of their surroundings. Chief Shiflett recommends that parents talk to their children about what steps to take if they are encountered by someone that they dont know. Parents should explain to their children to never get into a vehicle with anyone without first obtaining permission from a parent. Children should be told to stay away from anyone on foot or in a vehicle that is following them. Also, children should not go near a vehicle to talk with unknown vehicle occupants. There are ample resources online, at schools, and at the library that discuss safety precautions for parents and their children. No police department can function effectively without the assistance of responsible citizens. Please do not hesitate to call the Front Royal Police Department at (540) 635-111 or the law enforcement agency in your jurisdiction if you see something suspicious or out of place. To help law enforcement, a detailed statement of events must be relayed to the department. There have been calls received that were vague in content, such as a suspicious blue SUV seen in an area. Obtaining the make and model of the vehicle, tag number, number of doors, number of occupants, and the actual activity observed is beneficial. This information is needed to further assist our investigation and more quickly identify the person involved and determine whether the individual is up to no good or perhaps just someone driving down the road.

Halloween
ALONG THESE LINES:

By Nick Thomas Disguised as little goblins, ghosts or ghouls, kids will soon be prowling the streets in their annual Halloween quest to extort candy from benevolent neighbors. But for some family members, the spooky festivities may be downright dangerous. Whereas a candy overdose may induce the occasional belly ache in kids or send some into brief fits of hyper-sugar overdrive, sweet treats can lead to more serious problems for pets. The greatest danger comes from chocolate which contains theobromine, a chemical that is especially toxic to dogs. Oddly enough, theobromine contains no bromine (nor, for that matter, any theo). It derives its name from Theobroma meaning, more or less, food of the gods quite appropriate for anything to do with the heavenly confectionary. Other dangers for dogs include
Halloween can be scary for pets

raisins which can affect their kidney function. Special vigilance is also needed around impatient puppies that might be tempted to sneak wrapped Halloween treats on the sly. In addition to the chocolate risk, tinfoil candy wrappers can lodge in a puppys throat or lead to bowel obstructions. Halloween food hazards are less of a concern for cats, since they dont usually have a sweet tooth (they cant taste sweetness). But they still face dangers this time of year. When it comes to cats and Halloween, no one is more familiar with the nocturnal October ritual than actress Cassandra Peterson, better known to millions as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, who passed on some Halloween advice when I spoke with her a while back. Sporting an oversized black wig, a low and behold form-fitting black dress, and enough makeup to give the Avon lady a hernia, Cassandra has been playing the campy Elvira character since 1981. She first poured herself into the famous tightfitting attire when hired to host late-night horror movies for a Los Angeles television station. Cassandra has used her popularity and high public profile to support a number of causes, including animal welfare. She starred in a pro-vegetarianism commercial proclaiming that dead things should be buried, not eaten and has narrated a radio public service announcement asking people to keep their cats safely indoors at Halloween. Though her witty, wisecracking humor is a treat for adults, Cassandra finds nothing funny about tricks that some people play on cats, especially black cats which are traditionally associated with the darker side of Halloween. Theres always a few pranksters who may tease, injure, steal, or even kill pets during Halloween, she warned. Many animal shelters are aware of increased thefts of black cats around Halloween and some wont even adopt out black cats during October. Of course, weird costumes and spooky rituals are standard for the Mistress of the Dark who recalls many interesting Halloween stunts of her own, such as being buried in a coffin for up to 30 minutes at a time, while preparing to emerge for photo shoots or filming. I think Ive spent more time in a coffin than any person alive! Over the three decades she has been performing as Elvira, Cassandra has also interacted with some less than cuddly critters. Ive had to lie down with over a hundred snakes piled on top of me, and kiss tarantulas from time to time. Cuddly or not, she emphasizes that all animals used in Elvira promotions were handled in a safe and humane way, a philosophy consistent with her concern for animal welfare. Clearly, her message along these lines is a simple one: With kids dressed in wacky costumes running all over the place and ringing doorbells, pets can get scared and run away, and dogs may even bite. So its a good idea to place pets in a secure, quiet room during the trick-or-treat evening hours. I just hope people will do their best to watch out for all animals not only at Halloween, but throughout the year.

I want you to know Im a very patient man, McEathron later retorted, drawing even more laughter, before concluding more seriously of the final product, This far exceeds what we expected. Jeff Hayes was acknowledged from all sides for his oversight as Clerk of the Works and County Board Chairman Archie Fox tipped his hat to the county building committee and Moseley for ongoing oversight to make sure we got what we paid for. Former Mayor Jim Eastham was acknowledged by County Administrator Stanley. Jim was going to build a house here. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting us build here instead the sheriff got your view. In noting his teams work on the project, Moseleys Bell noted that the new Public Safety Building included 48,000 bricks, 00 doors and 169 rooms. A low-bid construction contract of $10,549,000 was awarded to Nielsen Builders of the Harrisonburg area in August 010. A bond

Cutting the ribbon on new Public Safety Building

The sheriff pointed to recent county capital improvement programs from the two high schools, skatepark, this facility among others, saying officials from surrounding counties wonder how we do it. Its not just money, its working together. County Administrator Doug Stanley commented on the lengthy construction process, saying, Sheriff McEathron and Chief Mabie were very patient well, Chief Mabie was patient, drawing laughter.
VERY patient men - Sheriff McEathron, Chairman Fox and Chief Mabie with their sections of cut ribbon - 25 months and 1 day after groundbreaking.
By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report The official Grand Opening of the new Warren County Public Safety Building was cemented with a ribbon cutting on Oct. 3. The Warren County Sheriff s Office and Fire & Rescue Departments essentially completed the move of their administrative offices into the new digs at 00 Skyline Vista Drive, overlooking Skyline High School and Massanutten Mountain, on July 31. In acknowledging his department and fire & rescues first 11 weeks on site, Sheriff Danny McEathron noted that by my calendar it was 5 months from yesterday we held the groundbreaking. That the sheriff s calendar was correct was later verified by Moseley Architects Project Manager Tony Bell.

during our initial tour of the facility on Aug. 1. Sheriff McEathron said the old Jackson Street office had a total of about 7,00 square feet. Including the 911 Communications Center, the sheriff estimated around 38,000 s.f. for his department now. Obviously were very, very pleased with what weve been provided, the sheriff said of the new facility. I want to thank the board of supervisors and county administrator, but most importantly the citizens of Warren County. We dont lose sight of the fact it is the citizens and taxpayers of the county that are providing this for us. You know Im happy to be here.

issue of $7.5 million was used to complete financing. A significant portion of an estimated $7-million so-called windfall from the first June tax payments after the county adopted twice-a-year tax billing pushed by late Commissioner of the Revenue John Smedley was earmarked to the project, to reduce the necessary borrowing to pay for the project. The county also had set aside $981,000 for the project prior to its final 010 approval. While the county-contractor relationship was often strained due to issues with adhering to design standards both outside and inside the building, all involved appear relieved that despite delays and redoes on some work, the project is finally completed and now officially open with the Oct. 3 ribbon cutting.

Warren County and Front Royal roundup

Recyc withdraws controversial riverside properties from sludge application
By Malcolm Barr Sr. & Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Malcolm was sure we would lead this section with the awfully good, if slightly confusing, news of Dominion Power construction contractor Zachrys commitment to a significant contribution to this years United Way Fund drive. HOWEVER, when Town Manager Steve Burke announced during his Oct. report to council that Recyc Systems had withdrawn three, controversial riverside properties from its application with the state DEQ to dispose of Class B sludge as farmland fertilizer, Zachry and Mal had to take a step back (sorry guys). It seems the comments from surrounding landowners that 100-year floodplain designations were grossly underestimating the potential of, not only sludge clearing rains, but flooding less than a mile up river from a Town of Front Royal municipal water system intake valve, did not fall on deaf ears at an Oct. 9 public info meeting at Skyline High School. Thank you applicant; thank you DEQ; thank you landowner; and thank you neighboring landowners for speaking up about the reality of the situation!!! All us townies really do live downstream from that one. But about that smell ... United (& giving) we stand At the end of a 0-minute update on the new Dominion Power plant construction project in the county (on schedule, no problems that cannot be overcome), director of combustion turbine projects, A. Michael Wood, received unusual mid-speech applause from a Rotary Club of Front Royal audience Oct. 19 when he pointed to a $80,000 donation to United Way on his power point presentation. We later talked with Beth Waller, then Lee Smith Osina, executive director of the Front Royal-Warren County United Way, which, it turns out, is in the midst of its 013 fundraising drive. Despite the seemingly gaudy number, dont quit giving, folks! You know what they say about a bird in the hand. The money hasnt arrived yet and for the local United Way isnt quite what Wood projected. First, it was explained that half the total comes directly from Zachary Corporation employees who collected between them some $140,000 which Zachary, the contracting firm for Dominion Power, agreed to match. Then, explained Osina, 5 percent of the employee contribution (about $35,000) is earmarked for an internal CARE fund administered by a Zachary employees committee and is for other charitable projects. Also (stay with us on this), the remaining amount, about $45,000 (all numbers rounded) doesnt all go to the local United Way since many employees directed their donations elsewhere to separate non-profits, albeit members of United Way, though perhaps out of this area. For further and more specific information, Osina directed us - urged us - to Sam Tijerina of Warren County Energy projects. Our calls to his cell and office numbers were not returned by press time. When will United Way receive whatever is left of the gross amount? Not known until perhaps Sam calls this newspaper. Meanwhile, Waller, who has been the highly successful and well-known volunteer fundraiser chairperson for the local United Way, referred us to Osina for comment. The executive director expressed gratitude to the generous Zachary employees and the similarly generous Zachary Corporation, but worried that Woods unanticipated announcement at the Rotary Club lunch would detract from the current campaign. As we remarked earlier, and as Osina admitted, this windfall for United Way is wonderful news, but a bird in hand is worth two in a bush as the saying goes, and the actual money, however much it may be, has not yet arrived. So please continue to donate to United Way and join us at this newspaper in congratulating Zachary and its employees on their beneficent gestures.

No musical generation gap The Front Royal American Legion Community Band, directed by Ed Richards, played a concert at Randolph-Macon Academy campus Oct. 3. The band was notable this year for its inclusion of three generations of musicians from the same family: Bill Long (William Abel Hamilton Long), a fire and rescue man of Rockland; his dad, Bill Long (William Abel Long); and firefighter Bills son, Will (William Abel Harrison Long), a freshman at R-MA, as shown in accompanying photo by Cindy Rodney.
Yard sale limits With only Daryl Funk voting no (Gene Tewalt was absent), the Front Royal Town Council voted 4-1 on Oct. to amend its code on yard sales. The two significant changes are that apartment buildings or duplexes with multiple units will now only be allowed to have a total of six yard sales per year. Previously, the six-yard sale limit was applied to individual residences. Also, a $5 license tax will have to be paid per yard sale AFTER the first two in any given calendar year. Your first two sales of the year are on the house. In opposing the change, Funk said he felt it was too restrictive on a significant portion of the towns renters. (I guess so, particularly if you live in an apartment with more than six units, HECK, you might not even get to have one sale if your buildings neighbors beat you to the punch.) However, in explaining his support of the changes and the majority perspective, Hollis Tharpe said the town wanted to protect small, local retail businesses from undue competition sneaking between the regulatory, tax and fee lines applied to businesses licensed to sell commercially in town.

A clerk at Front Royal Post Office firmly declined to forward the envelope to the military address in New York (APO AE 0918) because its going overseas. No, maam, its going to a New York address, upon which were asked to complete a U.S. Customs Service form. The pin is worth at most 5-cents. Maybe the clerk was correct. She doesnt make the rules. But I asked her to please explain why a similar envelope with the same contents and addressed to a UK address was not returned. In fact, three days later, my brother emailed me thanks for the Front Royal pin (very proud to receive it, and please thank the Mayor). Oops!

County
Rockland split on Morgans Ford Bridge replacement

Tight race, flawed info match dynamics of presidential race
Front Royal who spotted and inquired about the newly erected VDOT signs at the bridge approaches wondered aloud about the efficacy of American engineering. He noted VDOTs reference to the 87-year-old low water bridge, and the fact that the government agency acknowledges a life span for a modern bridge at 50-75 years. He talked of the Swarkestone River Bridge near his home built by the Romans in the 13th Century. Swarkstone Bridge was destroyed by floods 500 years later, was repaired and widened (1799-1808); and again rebuilt in 189. To this day, it provides a major (two-way) connector between two counties. As with the Morgan Ford bridge, it is considered undersized for modern traffic and is scarcely two-lane for cars at several points. However, its original foundations remain and the bridge is protected as an historic landmark. Several of our residents recommended leaving the Morgan Ford Bridge as is but repaving and, if necessary, strengthening its underpinnings. (ed note: VDOT says repair of a permanent nature would be more costly than a new bridge, and is impractical. The bridge was patched

THE NEW: A new bridge identical in design to the one proposed for Morgans Ford crosses Deer Rapids on Route 744 near Route 11, south of Strasburg in Shenandoah County ... the horror, the horror ...?
By Malcolm Barr Sr. Warren County Report An informal Warren County Report survey of residents living closest to the Morgan Ford bridge swung back and forth much like the Romney-Obama election campaign statistics. Our survey conducted the early part of this week recorded a 1613 score against VDOT replacing the span. The vote doesnt count, of course, but it allowed residents on both sides to let off some steam before the Board of Supervisors meeting in the government center Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. and the VDOT-sponsored public information meeting in the Commerce Avenue fire hall Nov. 14 (4-7 p.m.). Supervisor Richard Traczyk has invited VDOT - short on specifics on its website - to explain the project in detail to the board. In fact, it was our conclusion that many participants in our survey were as short on accurate information as we were in conducting it. It was, again, much like the Obama-Romney debates where conflicting versions of reality were offered. Several respondents felt resigned to seeing a new bridge, among them Maurice Bowen, Fairground Road, who voted in favor of the proposed replacement because theyve already decided, so whatever I say, its a done deal. Fortunately, Bowen was the only one to turn up in my driveway and voice his opinion! This article will attempt to fairly provide a soapbox for those for the bridge replacement and those against.

road, would dramatically increase the rate of accident and death ... pursuit of bridge replacement is poor public policy ... Dr. Furadoon Irani, Milldale Valley Court, wants a new bridge above flood level. Some project details proffered by VDOT appear ambiguous, and statistical data, including that in local media, have been contradictory. Therefore, we will wait along with other interested residents, for accurate information from VDOT at the November meetings. (Malcolm Barr, Sr., is a Rockland resident and retired journalist who has long been a contributing writer for the Warren County Report. He offers no opinion on the bridge, or any statistical information because, he says, it depends on who you talk to as to what information you get).

and shored up a couple years ago to keep it standing as the new project funding was located and remember, the Romans didnt build this original structure) Said George L. Ohrstrom II, who owns property upstream on Morgans Ford Road: (T)he bridge is a historical icon ... I think the gain from replacing it is far less than the loss of (the low water) bridge ... to the historical resources of Warren County. Bill Long of Rockland Road, fire and ambulance technician: Im for a new bridge. I use it daily; its weight rating of 10 tons limits the 30-ton fire trucks ... from using it. The current bridge is really falling apart ... we can drive our six-ton ambulances over it, but it greatly limits our fire response. Kathy Smart, Swift Shoals Road: (We) are completely opposed to the replacement of the low water bridge with a much larger structure that will encourage a big increase in truck traffic on Red Gate Road (Rt. 64). (ed note: trucks are already banned from a new bridge according to Supervisor Traczyk) Betty Tice, Bowling View Road: We approve of the new bridge ... and hope that the roadway will be much straighter on both approaches ... tear down the old, obsolete bridge... Althea Richards worries about increased and faster traffic, adding: I love the bridge the way it is - a low water bridge. Reed Armstrong, Rockland Road: Although it is an annoyance when the bridge is rained out, we ... would prefer that the rural aspect of our area be maintained ... Lynn Lewis, Rockland Road: (Replace) the bridge with one safer, wider, but yet in keeping with the rural nature of the location. Barbara Frank: (The bridge) should be repaired in its current configuration. Arterialization of Rt. 64, an inherently dangerous country Editor,

In addition to the businesses listed above, Warren County received $5.6 million in taxes from E.I. DuPont and Company just from 1979 to 003. The Town of Front Royal received water and sewer revenue of $1. million from DuPont over the same period. In 1980, the Front Royal Town Council, representing the Warren County taxpayers located within the Town limits paid $8.1 million to construct the water and sewer mains into Warren County outside of the corporate limits to Cedarville for DuPont, which employs 300 people. While this extension of water and sewer service by the Town to DuPont enabled Warren County to substantially increase its tax base, the Warren County Board paid nothing on this project. A new wastewater treatment plant is now expected to cost approximately $41 million for the construction, plus an estimated $10 million in interest on a 0-year bond for a total of $51 million. The treatment plant is expected once again to be constructed and paid for only by Warren County taxpayers living or located within the corporate limits of the Town of Front Royal at an estimated cost of $.5 million every year for 0 years. The Warren County taxpayers (WCTP) located within the Town limits will pay the in-town water and sewer rates, and the Warren County industrial taxpayers located outside the Town limits will pay water and sewer rates at twice the in-town rates, but will pay no real estate taxes to the Town. The WCTP in the commercial areas outside of the Town will pay the in-town water and sewer rates plus a BPOL (Business and Professional Occupancy License) tax to the Town. If there is a boundary adjustment so that the Route 5 North Commercial Corridor is added into the Town corporate limits, impacts on water and sewer rates would be minimized for all Town water and sewer users, including the properties annexed in the Corridor which would receive in-town water and sewer rates. Why should only Town taxpayers have to continue to pay for these types of major capital improvements to the Town water and sewer without proportionate contributions from those in the County who benefit directly from these new facilities? A boundary adjustment would go a long way toward addressing this taxation inequity for County tazpayers located within the Town limits. Walter M. Duncan Front Royal (Managing editors note: Mr. Duncan is a lifelong (91 years) resident of Front Royal, and a former town planning commission member, town manager and councilman who served the town in one or the other of those capacities from 1954 to 001.)

Council, VDOT spar over town north-side park & ride

Silent for 2 years, council now very vocal on part of S. Fork Bridge replacement
beautify its entranceways, Hollis Tharpe said, A park and ride is not ideal to achieve that, which is why I am adamantly opposed to it there or anywhere in town. Gene Tewalt, a former town public works director and civil engineer, pointed to the undesirability of not only a park and ride, but a retention pond planned for the VDOTcontrolled property. Im looking at that thing and its going to be 1 to 15 feet deep that bothers me more than anything else. It will look like the Dickens! Theres got to be a better location than a corridor coming into town, Tewalt said. Why not give it (the property) to us and let us take care of it? Tharpe suggested of what to do with the property, later adding, We want fountains, picnic tables. Wed be inclined to hold on to it for right of way, VDOT Assistant Residency Administrator Ed Carter replied. VDOT District Location and Design Engineer Matt Dana noted that the traffic cited by Parker would be non-peak hour traffic. That comment drew a collective Harrumph from council, with Mayor Tim Darr asserting that the existing park and rides in the county contradicted that assertion. Carter replied that the existing park and rides on Route 340/5 North, across the bridges and just past the I-66 Interchange, and on Dismal Hollow Road near John Marshall Highway and the I-66 Linden Interchange, have been at capacity for several years leading to overflow parking into nearby and other private properties, including Gateway Plaza prior to a recent no long-term parking posting and flurry of towing of cars out of that shopping center lot on the town southeast side.

Do you have the right investments in place to help you meet your financial goals?
Logical use of space?

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Two Virginia Department of Transportation officials fielded questions and dodged potshots flung their way at an Oct. 15 Front Royal Town Council Work Session. At issue for a current council majority is a portion of the South Fork Bridge replacement plan that would situate a park and ride at the southeastern corner of a new bridge on land where the Twin Rivers Motel was recently demolished. I dont want a park and ride on land that is commercially viable and in the town limits, Bret Hrbek told VDOT. Vice-Mayor Shae Parker, who lives in the nearby neighborhood east of North Shenandoah Avenue between the Shenandoah River and VFW land and North Royal Avenues turn into 14th Street at the old North Royal Avenue extended, questioned the advisability of adding a projected 60 vehicles to the traffic pattern there. Making a left turn south onto Shenandoah Avenue is almost impossible now. And if you add 60 vehicles they are going to have to make that turn or go through the neighborhood to the intersection with 14th Street to get out, Parker said of another intersection with a difficult left turn. Pointing to the towns efforts to

the park and ride, Parker counterpunched. Gene and I and Daryl are new (elected or re-elected this spring) and this is our first crack at it. If the town was silent then, it is not silent now! Hrbek said. May 13, 2010 However, part of a summary of a May 13, 010 informational meeting between VDOT, town and county officials indicated the bridge replacement plan, including the park and ride, dated back to at least the last month and a half of Tewalt and Hrbeks previous tenures as mayor and vice mayor. Present at that meeting according to a summary circulated to VDOT, the town and county, dated May 17, 010, were then Town Manager Michael Graham, then Town Director of Environmental Services and now Town Manager Steve Burke, County Administrator Doug Stanley and three VDOT officials, including now Deputy War-
ren County Administrator Bob Childress. Mr. Graham requested that we keep in mind that this is a gateway to the Town, and asked if trees could be planted along 340 in front of the pond and landscaping efforts directed to the NW quadrant between the intersection and the service road, the report signed by VDOT Stauton District Location & Design Engineer Scott Alexander stated. Mr. Burke noted that the property in the SE quadrant of 55/340 is currently pursuing a rezoning, and

also observed that the existing park and rides north and east of town at I-66 exit 6 and Linden contained a large percentage of vehicles sporting town stickers. He also noted that with VDOT now owning the right of way where the new lot is planned, costs would be cheaper since no land acquisition would be required. Have you done a traffic study? an increasingly agitated Parker asked. Yes, Carter replied. We just dont want it there, Hrbek chimed in, adding a preference for green space, and if the pond was necessary there for logistical reasons, Hrbek suggested hiding it in a far corner. The VDOT officials pointed out the park and ride has been a part of the bridge replacement plan for over two years and seemed surprised at the sudden surge of increasingly hostile opposition from council. You brought in a radical bridge design so there was no focus on

the application has been forwarded to VDOT for review/comment, the report adds. The Town would like to see any construction traffic to the south-side bridge piers access via N. Royal Street and not use 15th 18th Streets due to the residential nature, widths, onstreet parking, etc. Other than the uncertainty of funding, and how it will dictate the schedule of this project, there were no unresolved matters, the report concludes.

called the early discussion and told Carter and Dana on Oct. 15, 010, When this came about I raised holy hell, adding the VDOT attitude at the time appeared to be Its our bridge, well do what we want to. Tom Sayre said he remembered VDOT public informational meetings on the project It was years ago, the councilman recalled of his attendance. Why didnt you say something then? Tharpe prodded his fellow councilman. Risky business? Its not built yet; it wont cost much not to build, Tharpe offered as the Oct. 15 work session back and forth continued. But VDOTs Carter replied that the added cost of redesign and potential relocation at this point in the process could threaten the federal funding stream crucial to the project. Im not saying we wont get it but it is a risk in redesigning and adding cost at this stage, Carter told the town. The VDOT tandem told council they would need an official resolution from the town in order to even reconsider the plan. We consider this an enhancement to travel and the public We need to

Town
I hope were not going to be too restrictive, so when it is 100 degrees and two girls are out selling lemonade theyre in violation. Gene Tewalt
Council wrestles with commercial signs, outdoor displays

Town seeks a fair and balanced approach to restrictions, changes
emy Camp pointed out that plant and related landscaping materials were among the exemptions to new screening from public view requirements. Other exemptions from screening requirements were: automobiles; power-driven garden and farm equipment; pre-manufactured buildings; vending machines; flea markets and seasonal and other temporary activities like peddlers and licensed merchants with proper permitting, yard sales and lemonade stands of the sort kids in small towns have been helping residents beat the heat with since, well forever, more or less. But if some concerns were raised about too restrictive or potentially too restrictive aspects, there was also concern expressed that some problem areas had yet to be closed to offenders. Among those were how long disconnected trailers or dumpsters at locations doing home or business renovation or remodeling might be left in place; and under what circumstance tires could be left outside. I think when complaints were made that got this rolling the meaning was to target junk, things like used tires that might catch fire, Tharpe observed. Planning staff noted that businesses selling used tires would be exempt from new restrictions. My concern is, are we going to enforce them (the new codes). There are lots of ordinances on the books that are not enforced unless someone is singled out by a complaint, Gene Tewalt said. We cant single anyone out this fixes that. But my concern is we could shut everybody down [when only blatant offenders] are intended to be targeted, Vice-Mayor Shae Parker said. I hope were not going to be too restrictive, so when it is 100 degrees and two girls are out selling lemonade theyre in violation, Tewalt added. He was assured lemonade stands were exempt. Council decided to have staff further refine the changes and bring the draft back to another work session before being sent to public hearing and a vote.

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report It was back to the drawing board for town planning staff after an Oct. 15 Front Royal Town Council Work Session discussion about changes to town codes regarding outdoor commercial signs and displays. At issue for some councilmen is whether changes designed to provide a standard that is up to date and in general more business friendly, may still in some cases provide an undue hindrance. Staff admitted as much in its preface to the proposed changes, stating, While the proposed changes are generally less restrictive than the current code language, some individuals and/or businesses may be impacted by the changes. Despite some misgivings, there appeared to be a feeling things were moving in the right direction. I think we have a pretty good draft here, Hollis Tharpe said as the conversation began on updating a code last adopted on April 10, 1978. Still, after reviewing the draft Tharpe worried that as now drafted the new code would prevent firewood and live plant displays as now allowed. However, Planning Director Jer-

Review: Some of My Lives: A Scrapbook Memoir

Imagine, if you would, entertaining the prospect of having tea with Yo-Yo Ma, lunch with Harry Belafonte or cocktails at Tiffanys with Frank Gehry. Allowing time for the exhilaration to subside, sleepless nights and/or bouts of anxiety might then prevail. If you were Rosamond Bernier, however, these would be routine events. When she was in Europe many years ago, dining with Picasso, globe-trotting with Leonard Bernstein or sitting beside Matisse as he struggled to create yet another masterpiece after being forced to do so from a seated position, would describe moments of ecstasy that became familiar to Ms. Bernier. This woman, whose experiences with countless masters of the arts crisscrossed numerous decades, can only be described as extraordinary. Her comradeship with these iconic figures is almost beyond belief, and her determination to bring their stories of greatness to the world is exemplary. Rosamond Bernier was born in Philadelphia, PA in 1916. Due to her fathers involvement with musical talents of that era, she was introduced to illustrious personalities at a very young age. This set the stage for what was to become an enchantingly elegant life which was dedicated to unmasking the master artists and composers of the twentieth century. Ms. Bernier met and befriended numerous dignitaries in the art world and wrote about them in her European magazine, LCEIL, which, along with a partner, was established in 1955. The array of luminaries she encountered reads like a Whos Who list, as she was seldom declined an audience. She furthered her career by becoming a prestigious lecturer and was eloquently complimented on her abilities by Leonard Bernstein when he said: Madame Bernier has the gift of instant communication to a degree I have rarely encountered, and in the field where it is not easy to be communicative without being glib. Indeed, her lectures are richly informed, full of fresh surprise, and delivered with elegance and simple charm. This scrapbook memoir can be difficult to follow, initially, because
the author tends to move around somewhat frenetically with her remembrances. However, once involved, and familiar with this pattern, it is almost impossible to put the book aside since it is filled with fascinating encounters. Ms. Bernier is a woman of many talents and the depth of her life is celebrated in this revelation. What glorious reflections she must have had as she revisited some of her lives.

trend in explaining his opposition to a charter change codifying nomination by non-partisan petition only. He told us he believes there is a trend in the state General Assembly toward partisan elections in all municipal elections. He was tactfully non-committal to our question as to whether that trend was being forwarded by the Republican state majority. Whatever its source, Funk said were the state legislature to make partisan municipal elections state law, the proposed Front Royal Charter change would become illegal in a Dillon Rule state like Virginia. I dont think it will get through the legislature, Funk said of the proposed town charter change mandating nominations by a non-partisan petition of voters only. Why anticipate a change in state law before it occurs, particularly if he personally sees no need to rock the town election voting methodol-

Tom Sayre and Mary Kay Clark at recent event at county Republican headquarters.
By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report During an Oct. 15 work session the plot continued to thicken over the potential of breaking a century or more of political or should we say non-political tradition that could move the Town of Front Royal toward partisan municipal elections. A move by any local political committee to make nominations in future town elections would eliminate the eligibility of incumbent Mayor Tim Darr, or any federal employee, to run for town office. Darr et al would be unable to run in a partisan election due to Hatch Act restrictions against federal employees running in partisan elections. Darr has long worked for the Defense Department as a security officer at the Pentagon. Throughout the commonwealth town elections have traditionally been non-partisan due to the lack of partisan issues dealt with at the municipal level. As Darr and others have pointed out, most of town government decision-making deals with common sense issues like how to provide services and maintain infrastructure in the most cost-efficient manner. However as we observed in our last story on this controversy, in this age of anti-government, anti-tax, antiregulation of any kind of neo-conservatism, whos to say partisanship isnt the coming wave of government at all levels? DAMN the common sense, full-radical-ideological-partisan speed ahead!!! Daryl Funk seemed to verify that

Town
from page 22
ogy, we asked. Funk replied that he didnt think the charter change was necessary; and added that as long as the incumbent mayor was a candidate, he would not support partisan nominations. When & how? As reported in our previous edition, a mid-September, one-person minority (Republican Hollis Tharpe) favored keeping the potential of partisan nominations alive. That minority grew to a three-council block of Republicans (Tharpe, Sayre, Funk) leaning toward keeping partisan nominations possible during an Oct. 1 work session. The two newly (at least verbally) on-board to nix codifying non-partisan nominations as part of proposed charter changes, Sayre directly and Funk indirectly, were involved in a partisan-nomination effort spearheaded by Warren County Republican Committee Secretary and Seton Home School director Mary Kay Clark early this year. Had that effort succeeded internally among local Republicans, Darr would have been disqualified from seeking re-election in the May 01 town election (see background below). As the Oct. 15 discussion of proposed town Charter Amendments began, Mayor Darr, holding an obvious tiebreaking vote on the nonpartisan nominations, observed the lone hold up appeared to be an impasse on whether moving town elections to November should be made in odd or even years; and by charter or by ordinance change. Darr said he felt council risked losing all proposed charter amendments seeming to have a majority consensus if
council couldnt agree on the November/odd-even year issue. Despite an added condition on deciding when town elections would occur by ordinance requiring a fourperson supermajority of council to change (rather than a mayors tiebreaking vote), Bret Hrbek reiterated his concern the May-November issue would be made a political football from council election to council election under that scenario. I dont want four councilmen in control of this decision, I think we
should put it in the hands of the General Assembly (the state legislature must approve proposed municipal charter changes), not four councilmen, Hrbek said. Vice-Mayor Shae Parker observed the supermajority condition made a more stringent criteria for moving the election month back and forth
from council to council. The mayor noted the town attorney had determined details of a charter change as to odd or even years could be worked out at a later date, and all that was required at this point was to request a charter change to November. He added that a majority, one he would make with

I dont want four councilmen in control of this decision, I think we should put it in the hands of the General Assembly (the state legislature must approve proposed municipal charter changes), not four councilmen. Bret Hrbek on preference for charter change on election date
Town
ever after, we will have Republicans run for Town Council! But we will need to be very intelligent and insightful in the future. We cannot do worse than what we have. Do the math Apparently worse than what we have now means a council majority at least one local Republican official doesnt like either personally (Ratigan is a staunch pro-life conservative) or feels is not in her very specific political camp. And what bigger threat to any potential political powerbroker is there than higher voter turnouts, that in this case could negate what appears to be about a 400 to 500 person voting block? Stand alone May town elections over the past 1 years have averaged from 15 to 0 percent turnouts, or about 100 to 1500 of the towns 8000 or so registered voters. With three council seats up each election, 500 to 800 votes have generally been enough for a top-three finish. Over that same period, November elections have averaged 35 to 70 percent turnouts, with 60 to 70 percent common in even-year presidential elections; 40 percent or higher in even-year, non-presidential, state election years.
an obvious tiebreaking vote, favored codifying by charter change keeping the tradition of qualifying for council elections by a petition of eligible town voters (currently 15). Hrbek said that while he had initially favored odd-year November elections, he wasnt going to fall on my (philosophical) sword on that issue and was willing to move forward with even-year November elections. Eugene Tewalt agreed that he was ready to move on a charter change for November elections in even years if that would keep the ball rolling. A straw poll then taken by the mayor indicated a 4- majority (Parker, Tewalt, Hrbek, Tharpe for; Funk, Sayre against) in favor of proceeding with a charter change request for November elections in even years. When Darr suggested council move forward with an advertised public hearing on the proposed Front Royal Town Charter changes at the next Monday night meeting (Oct. ), Tewalt threw council a curve I wont be here next Monday, Ill be in Chicago, Tewalt said. Town Manager Steve Burke then observed council was not required
to vote the night of a public hearing, should the mayor and councils preference be that a vote of such importance be taken with the full council present (see related story). Partisan history Sayre was identified by then Republican Committee Chair Dave Henderson as one of two people, Mary Kay Clark was the other, inquiring about committee nominations for the 01 town election. First-time council candidate Funk was mentioned as a possible Republican nominee by Clark in a Feb.1 e-mail to committee members promoting the idea of partisan nominations in the last town election. While not eliminating future consideration of the idea, Henderson blocked committee nominations in the spring of 01 as unfair to incumbent Mayor Darr, who had already filed his petition and paperwork to run for reelection. Funk told us at the time he had not sought Clarks endorsement for a partisan run for council and distanced himself from not only that effort, but Clarks e-mail assertion he was a candidate to whom pro-life
issues were of specific concern. I dont know what my stance on pro-life issues would have to do with a run for town council, Funk told us in the spring run up to the May 01 town election. But if Clark seemed hot on the issue of partisan nominations for Funk and one other unnamed Republican (Sayre for mayor, perhaps?), she was less enthusiastic about other local Republicans taking advantage of her initiative. Do you agree with me that we should encourage Daryl to run as a Republican? If so, can we call a Caucus fast enough? Clark wrote in her Feb. 1 e-mail, adding, And there is a danger here: Neither Tewalt nor Bret Hrbek are currently members on our Committee, but they both might come forth IF we do this for Daryl And to top off the danger, Tim Ratigan might come forward and want us to have a Caucus vote for him for mayor!! I will tell you that once we go down this road, for-

Council postpones vote on charter amendments

Partisanship, size of November voter turnouts remain at issue
By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Perhaps not surprisingly, one councilman tried to pull an end run on a last-second change to proposed Front Royal Town Charter Amendments following an Oct. Public Hearing. As discussed at an Oct. 15 work session, a council consensus to delay a vote until a full council was present on such important business. On Oct. 15, Gene Tewalt told council he would miss the Oct. meeting due to a previously scheduled trip to Chicago. And after just one public hearing speaker, questioning the reason for inclusion of combining of the town manager and town treasurers positions the answer was the combination already exists, this just codifies it in a more permanent manner the apparent consensus to hold off on any vote pending presence of a full council appeared poised to happen. Vice-Mayor Shae Parker made a motion, seconded by Bret Hrbek, to postpone a vote until the Nov. 13 meeting. But Tom Sayre then offered an amendment to change the advertised move of town elections from May to November in even-years, when higher turnout presidential and state elections occur, to odd years when only county elections are being held in November. I dont think thats appropriate, Mayor Tim Darr responded to Sayres move to a last-second change with one councilman missing. The previous week Darr had largely been responsible for brokering a majority consensus one way or the other on the odd-even year issue in what he believed was a necessary move to save all the proposed charter amendments (see related story). Sayre called for a point of order from Town Attorney Doug Napier on whether his motion to amend the advertised changes on the table after a motion to postpone a vote had been made was permissible. Napier replied that as council parliamentarian, the mayor was responsible for such decisions, adding, I agree with the mayor [that such an amendment to a motion to postpone a vote was inappropriate]. Following that little exchange, the mayor called for a roll-call vote on Parkers motion to postpone. Called fourth, Sayre then joined Daryl Funk, Hrbek and Parker in voting for the postponement. Hollis Tharpes fifth and final vote made it a 5-0 majority to delay any vote for or against the proposed charter amendments until the Nov. 13 council meeting when a full contingent of six is expected. Parker later said he believed any change to what charter amendments had been advertised for public hearing would require the town to readvertise for another public hearing with the new changes in place. This perhaps explains the mayors sense of urgency the previous week that council come to a consensus on the odd-even year issue or risk losing all charter amendments under consideration. Two councilmen, Hrbek and Tewalt, initially favoring odd-year elections with only county seats also up for grabs, swung to the even-year side to keep movement on all the charter changes going forward.

Schmookler questions Goodlatte assertions on government

Goodlatte calls criticism of radical Republicanism unnecessary finger-pointing
ample, consider Mr. Goodlattes big theme that we need to be protected against big government. But Bob Goodlatte has supported the kind of big government we Americans should really fear the kind that tramples on those liberties our founders provided. He has backed detention of American citizens without trial; and searches without warrants; and he proposed a measure to protect intellectual property that had to be withdrawn because it was an assault on free speech on the Internet. But the rest of his argument is based on a distortion: the idea that the U.S. suffers from out-of-control government spending 35 times what it was 50 years ago, he says. By ignoring major shrinkage in the value of the dollar and growth in the size of our economy, Mr. Goodlatte obscures whats really true and important: As a proportion of our national economy, the size of government has been constant for many decades. The federal workforce has actually decreased since Ronald Reagan was President. The size of government in the U.S., per capita, is nearly the smallest among advanced democratic capitalist nations. The issue for us isnt how big government is but whom its serving. When Goodlatte and other Republicans speak of excessive government spending, theyre never talking about bloated defense budgets that enrich government contractors. They want to cut programs that help average Americans. And above all, theyre talking about weakening governments ability to protect the public from corporations that are so mighty that only government can restrain their abuses of power.

tions. Through staff, Goodlatte issued this response to Schmooklers comments. Today, folks in the Sixth Congressional District, like folks from all across the country, are facing one of the most challenging times in our nations history. Our economy remains sluggish, people fear losing their jobs and their homes, and many are worried about the future their children and grandchildren will inherit. To spur economic growth, create new jobs and bring personal opportunity to every American we must strengthen our free market system, not hamper it. We must reduce government intrusion, not allow more bailouts and regulation. We should also unleash all of our energy resources and become energy independent, not stifle certain energy sources with artificial government barriers. We must give our nations entrepreneurial spirit the opportunity to thrive, not enact policies that will forever alter our ability to seek prosperity. My opponents attacks on me and the Republican Party are examples of the Democratic Party continuing to point fingers an attempt to distract Americans from the real issues we face. My opponent would like to see a bigger government, higher taxes, and more government spending of borrowed money. These policies are fiscally irresponsible and simply havent worked in the past four years under the Obama Administration.
I believe that we should put our trust in the hard work of small business owners and entrepreneurs rather than the government to turn this economy around. I am confident in our ability to meet these challenges together, and I will continue working hard to represent the values of the people of the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia. Avoiding the issue? Despite Goodlattes reply, which begs the issue of the accuracy of his opponents criticism or which party has contributed more to continuing the recession over the past threeplus years, Schmookler is not alone even in Warren County in his concern about fundamental changes in the philosophy of the Republican Party. A number of local Republicans are supporting Schmooklers challenge of Goodlatte due to their partys swing to the extreme political right and protection of the super rich from any meaningful taxation, while bleating about national deficits deficits that upward adjustments to the tax rates billionaires and multi-millionaires pay, could wipe out in short order.

County Chairman Repici summarizes Susan Allen visit

of gasoline, the suppression of the coal industry, and the road blocks for American companies to drill and develop our own natural resources. She also discussed job creation and how taxation destroys jobs and the role of Obamacare as probably one of the largest tax burden in U.S. history. She also discussed the enormous increase in our national debt and how it burdens future generations and strangles the ability of entrepreneurs to create jobs and undermines our national security. She also spoke of the budget dilemma posed by sequestration, which would dramatically reduce the size of the American defense effort and emphasized Governor Allens intention to rebuild the U.S. Navy and how important that is for Virginia. Finally, Mrs. Allen noted that the collection of these burdens on America, either initiated or exacerbated by the current Administration, has created a worldwide perception of American decline. Mrs. Allen went through this litany of American misfortune as a factual and somber recitation of the Obama Administrations failures and what needs to be fixed. Further discussion of these issues would emphasize Mrs. Allens urging that people simply get out and vote for the Republican ticket. Unfortunately, energy is a tragic example.

By Don Repici Special to WC Report (Managing editors note: despite my disdain for mainstream politics, particularly from the extreme political right and ineffectual political left, I actually get along with most people and officials involved in Republican and Democratic politics locally REALLY, I swear. So after letting WC Democratic Chair Molly Snyder vent after the vandalism to their headquarters last issue, I promised WC Republican Chairman Don Repici Id give him the floor in this issue. George Allens wife Susans visit to county Republican headquarters on Oct. 23 seemed the perfect launching point. This is Dons summary of his impression of Mrs. Allens visit, talk and rallying points for her and the partys run up to Nov. 6.) On Tuesday, October 3, Susan Allen, wife of former Governor George Allen, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Virginia, visited the Warren County Republican Headquarters for an informal discussion with local residents about the issues of concern in this upcoming election. She covered such issues as American energy independence, the cost

Current Administration policy is to bar offshore drilling, to reduce Gulf of Mexico production, to essentially put government land off limits to drilling and exploration, to restrict the development of oil bearing shale rock, to obstruct the building of the Keystone pipeline, which would open up the vast Canadian oil sands supply to the U.S. market, and restricting Alaska oil sources. In addition, the unwarranted restriction on the development of our enormous coal resources is putting hundred of thousands of people out of work on

the basis of speculative environmental gains while foreign countries continue to pollute unabated. The simple fact is there are more recoverable hydrocarbon resources in the United States and Canada than anywhere else in the world. The United States can truly become energy independent if the correct federal policies were put into place. Jobs, taxation, regulation, and Obamacare represent another set of critical policy issues. Increased taxation and regulation correspond to reduced investment, which corresponds to fewer jobs. It also creates an environment of uncertainty and makes overseas investments of American funds more attractive. The Band-Aid fixes proposed by the Obama Administration sound good but offer no real incentive for investment in American industry and to create jobs. Likewise, Obamacare represents probably the largest tax increase on Americans in U.S. history. What seems to be lost in these discussions is that decreasing taxation and regulation, increases jobs and adds to the tax receipts that the government receives, enabling a decrease in the rate of taxation while increasing the amount of federal revenues. Mrs. Allen spent much time discussing national security as the primary responsibility of the federal government, noting that the enormous increase in debt simply reduces Americas ability to maintain its defense posture but also weakens our ability to deal internationally. Many of the worlds countries hold the U.S. dollar as their reserve currency. As increased debt weakens and devalues the dollar more dollars will come into the international financial market at reduced value. Both internationally and nationally people are unwilling to accept the full value of the U.S. dollar and the standard of living in the United States is declining. That is truly a national security issue. Mrs. Allen also focused on Governor Allens support to rebuild the U.S. Navy. Virginia and the U.S. Navy are closely intertwined. In many ways Virginias future is tied to the vibrancy and health of the U.S. Navy. If the
intended sequestration of defense funds does in fact occur, it will cost thousands of jobs in Virginia as well as weaken our national defense. Mrs. Allen noted Governor Allens strong opposition to cuts in defense, the one area of primary governmental responsibility. Finally the perception of American decline, occasioned by this collection of poor and misguided policy choices, not only limits Americas ability to deal internationally, to reduce our influence worldwide, but also takes from the American public that spirit of confidence and pride in their country. The sad conclusion is that we have brought this on ourselves by voting for the wrong kind of change. It is still reversible. It is essential that the American people recognize that their nation is in danger and must make a choice as to which vision fits the American dream.

Engles Angle: My Third Favorite

By Kevin S. Engle Warren County Report Whats your favorite day of the year? I have two. My birthday and Christmas. My third favorite is right around the corner. The exact date changes, but its always on a Wednesday. This year its on the 7th. Of November. Whats so special about that day? Its the day AFTER the Presidential election. Brothers and sisters, can you say Amen? If I can survive until then, I will have made it through another Presidential election. And when I lay my head on my pillow after the polls close, Ill do so with a smile on my face. Why? Because my life, and yours, are about to get a lot better, and it has nothing to do with who won. Beginning on November 7th, we wont have to put up with the following: - No more political surveys and other calls urging us to vote for one of the candidates. - No more oversized ads in our mailbox telling us why one candidate would do a great job as President, while the other is no better than a heaping pile of rotting garbage. - No more TV ads like these: Commercial #1 President Obama has done a great job leading our country. Commercial #2 President Obama has done a horrible job leading our country. Commercial #3 Mitt Romney cares deeply about the middle class. Commercial #4 Mitt Romney couldnt care less about the middle class. Commercial #5 Vote yes for Question #7 on the Maryland ballot. Commercial #6 Vote no for Question #7 on the Maryland ballot. (Hey Maryland , I live in Virginia . If I voted yes or no for Question #7, Id get arrested for voter fraud. On second thought, it might be worth going to jail. At least I wouldnt have to suffer through any more of your commercials.) - No more annoying radio ads for the Senate race in Virginia . I keep hearing the same one at least thirty-five times an hour, and its a stupid ad to begin with. Every time it comes on, I turn down the volume. - No more debates. You know, those televised events where the candidates exceed their time limit, dont answer the question, talk about what they want to, and say bad stuff about the other guy? And no more dissecting the debate for days afterward telling me who won. - And finally, no more polls from The Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the New York Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and the Disney Channel informing me about everything imaginable, including who kids would most like to play with at the White House, the First Dog Bo or Mrs. Romneys horse. As far as Im concerned, my third favorite day of the year cant get here soon enough. And Ill tell you something else. Things are going to be different the next time. Im running for President in four years. And heres why you should vote for me. Ill work hard to strengthen Social Security, lower the unemployment rate, improve our schools, eliminate the debt and insure everyone has affordable quality health care. My administration will also partner with industry to develop renewable energy sources and well work tirelessly for world peace. Sound familiar? Some things never change. And thats why the day after Election Day will always be my third favorite day of the year.
My name is Kevin Engle and I approved this article. kevinengle456@comcast.net

In this season of bitter partisan rivalries, it would be well to remember the following sage observation: Do not trust to the cheering, for those persons would cheer just as much if you and I were going to be hanged. The man who first made that observation was Lord Protector of England Oliver Cromwell, considered by some to be a hero of liberty, by others to be a regicidal dictator. He died in 1658, probably from septicemia. He was so reviled that, three years later, he body was exhumed so that he could be posthumously executed, his body thrown into a pit and his head displayed on a pole outside Westminster Hall. Those who study such things say that if all the gold in the world were combined in one lump, it would result in a cube that measures 20 yards on each side. If youre planning a trip to Lima, Peru, you might want to add Puente de Piedra to your sightseeing list. Though the Spanish name means Bridge of Stone, the span is popularly known as the Bridge of Eggs. Legend has it that in 1608, the builders the used the whites of 10,000 seabird eggs in the mortar that holds the stones together. Pumpkins are native to the Americas, not Europe. This is why the original jack-o-lantern was a turnip. What do the words obscene, tranquil, mediate, catastrophe, dire, critical, vast and apostrophe have in common? All of them appeared in print for the first time in the works of William Shakespeare. If youre contemplating a move to Corpus Christi, Texas, be sure to keep in mind that in that town, its illegal to raise alligators in your home. *** Thought for the Day: One fool can ask more questions in a minute than 12 wise men can answer in an hour.

Ask Stewart
Dear Stewart, When is the best time to prune and will it hurt the tree if I prune at the wrong time? Signed Dale Lynn
structure. Dead and broken branches can, and should, be taken off at any time they occur. As for structural pruning, it is so nice to be able to comfortably jump from branch to branch. It is absolutely no fun to get tripped up by a crossing branch. While this work can be done at any time of the year, I think it is better to do this in winter when the tree is dormant. First of all, it is much easier to see the branch structure in the winter when the foliage is no longer there. So you know what to prune off. But more importantly, deciduous trees produce sugars in their leaves all summer long. In the fall, these sugars are transported to the roots, the leaves fall to the ground, and the plant goes dormant. Over the years, the plant builds up stores of excess sugars which support the tree during times of stress. Therefore, if branches are removed in summer, you are removing these sugars. Pruning in winter allows the sugars to remain in the tree. Now some trees, like Maples and Birch, tend to have lots of sap rising in the spring. And, if pruned at this time, the plant will tend to bleed a lot. Ive even heard some humans say the tree will lose too much sap and die. This isnt really true. The sap will seal off the wound eventually, but the tree is losing sugar with the sap. So it is better to prune these types of trees at a different time of the year. Also keep in mind whenever you prune, please leave enough branches for the squirrels to run on. Never, ever, ever, remove more than a quarter of the total branches at one time. And if your pruning makes the shape of the tree look unnatural, then you are not doing it right.
Dear Dale,
Ask Stewart
540-635-4734
We squirrels appreciate it when humans prune the dead branches out of their trees. Its a horrifying moment when you are running along a branch and all of a sudden it cracks and drops out from under you. Fortunately, as long as you do it correctly, there really isnt a wrong time to prune your trees. Trees should be pruned for various reasons. Its good to remove dead and broken branches. Its also a good idea, if the tree is younger, to prune some to develop the plant for best shape and

The Front Royal/Warren County Tree Steward program began in 1997 with volunteers dedicated to improving the health of trees by providing educational programs, tree planting and care demonstrations, and tree maintenance throughout the community. The group now consists of over 30 active members with several interns working toward becoming certified tree stewards from our annual All About Trees Class. Each month Stewart will answer a question from our readers. Please forward it to Stewart in care of frwctreestewards@comcast.net and we may publish it in a future issue. Please visit our website at www.treesfrontroyal.org.
