its athletics on his life.
As proud mom Mary Jane listens, Jeremy Myers explains the importance of his high school years and the positive role of athletics in that experience.
Bob earned his B.S. degree in Physical Education from Salem College in 1969 and his Masters Degree in Sports Medicine from the University of Virginia. He served WCHS as a Health and Physical Education teacher from 1969 to 1989. He also served as head varsity football and track & field coach.

1985 softball assistant coach and current WC secondary school teacher of the year Mike Whitehouse, left, greets inductee Bob Myers. Quote from Bob: Athletics is an opportunity to make memories that last forever. On Oct. 7, Myers reflected on those memories and his move to Warren County and Warren County High School 42 years ago. It was a move that shaped most of his adult life in very special ways, Myers said.

about the need for fairness then lets talk about fairness, shall we? Is it fair that, due to this governments reckless spending and debt accumulation, my 1 year old daughter and 7 month old son are already indebted to the tune of approximately $48,000 each, which their share of the current national debt? Is it fair that Americans are forced to pay into a Social Security program instead of being able to use that money to finance their retirements on their own (not to mention the fact that Social Security will be bankrupt by the time I retire anyway)? Is it fair that the good people of this country live in constant fear of the threat of terrorist attacks due to this governments interventionist foreign policy and countless overseas military occupations (a condition the C.I.A. has called blowback)? These questions represent the type of debates that we should be having about fairness, not this frivolous squabbling over some fictitious number regarding a fair share of the tax burden. Jason Hartsell Front Royal (Managing Editors note: - my briefest in response to a letter from this reader, I promise - In our recent debate on these pages Mr. Hartsell has established that his perspective is that not only is the existence of the federal government bad and unnecessary, but also that any governmental regulation of big business or interference with the accumulation of vast wealth plunders the rich and destroys America, despite any evidence to the contrary.) health, bankruptcy and early death for thousands of Americans. I cannot reconcile Americas Christian values with the nations health care reality. Thus I want to share the story of How Canada Got Its Health Plan. The major players are the farm folk and politicians of the Canadian prairie in the 1950s. People were losing their farms and land to health care costs. Politician Tommy Douglas, a Baptist preacher and boxer turned politician, believed that health care should be made available to everyone. An advocate of social gospel politics, Douglas and his colleagues laid the foundation for the 196 launch of universal health care in Saskatchewan. Douglas then expanded the initiative as a federal member of parliament. Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, also a prairie politician and leader of the Conservative Party, agreed with Douglas. However the Conservatives lost power in the next election to Mike Pearson and the Liberal Party. Pearsons government initiated a crown commission - a series of consultative meetings held across the country. In 1966 the national health care program began. A sigh of relief was heard from sea to sea. No longer did people have to worry that a loved ones illness could cause economic crisis; or realize that family assets couldnt buy adequate health care. How could Canada afford it? Four reasons spring to mind: One, Canada was not building an extensive highway system; two, Canada did not have a military budget proportional to the U.S.; three, Canada was rich with energy and food resources; and four, there was bipartisan collaboration. But whatever the reasons, what sticks with me is this - Canadas health care program, with costs split 50/50 between provincial and federal governments, demonstrates compassion and empathy in its application of Do Unto Others and Love Thy Neighbor. Where theres a will, theres a way. Yours truly, Leslie Fiddler (a Canadian-American) Front Royal

Whos fair?
Editor, On Monday, September 19th Barack Obama gave a speech demanding that the rich pay their fair share of the tax burden. This term fair share is a really vague phrase that politicians have been throwing around for a while now. Now despite my belief that (A) ALL taxation is theft, and the fact that (B) the top 10% percent of all wage earners already pay 70% of the tax burden, I have to ask: Can someone please tell me what exactly constitutes a fair share and give me the formula they used to come up with such a number? Fuhrer Obama and his left-wing comrades will claim that the fair share for the rich is 60%, 70%, 80%, etc. of their gross incomes. Of course these numbers are arbitrary and meaningless. To come up with a fair share of the tax burden for anyone - not just the rich - would require endless calculations of how much each individual used public goods and services in relation to how much everyone else used those same goods and services. This, obviously, would be impossible. But for Obama to claim that a particular individual owes the government more money than his neighbor by virtue of his higher paying job is unreasonable and preposterous. Since Obama is so concerned
Dear managing editor, I am responding to your wish that American families be able to weather a health crisis without risking bankruptcy (managing editors note, page 5, Mid-Sept. 011 issue). Thankfully, after moving to the U.S. from Canada 16 years ago our family has always had health coverage. Many are not so lucky and must contend with a cruelly wacky system (AmericanCanadian author Nora Kellys description), a system that generates ill

A husband and wife from Warrenton were killed in a motorcycle-car accident near milepost seven on Skyline Drive at the Gooney Run Overlook on Sunday, Oct. 9. According to Shenandoah National Park spokesperson Karen BeckHerzog, both Stephen M. Runfalo, 59, and his wife Calexandra D. Runfalo, 54, died as a result of injuries suffered in the accident. The accident occurred when the 001 Suzuki motorcycle driven by Mr. Runfalo went out of control while traveling southbound and struck a northbound Honda Accord. There were no injuries to occupants of the Honda. Warren County Fire & Rescue got the dispatch call at 4:15 PM and arrived at the scene within 1 to 15 minutes. When they arrived both accident victims were in cardiac arrest and were receiving CPR from Park Rangers. County EMT responders took over and were able to get pulses back. Medical evacuation helicopters were dispatched to the accident site and both victims were transported from the scene. Mrs. Runfalo went to Warren Memorial Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Mr. Runfalo was flown to Winchester Medical Center and died there. The National Park Service handled the accident investigation. No charges were forthcoming.

By Kevin S. Engle Warren County Report Monday morning. Tuesday morning. It doesnt matter. Its any weekday morning and Im on my way to work. You (annoyed): Come on man! Cant you drive any faster? Id like to get there today! Me (stressed): Yes, I can, but I dont want to. And you will get there today. You (more annoyed): For Gods sake, you dont have to stop! Theres nobody coming! Go! Me (more stressed): Sorry, but youre supposed to stop first and then turn right on red. You (quite annoyed): Why dont you learn how to drive #@#$%^%#@@! Me (stressed out): Why dont you learn how to drive #@#$%^%#@@! Dont you just love it when youre behind me? Me neither. The first three miles of my morning commute are my least favorite. The road twists and turns as it snakes its way down the mountain. My brother says its a hill, but thats another story. I wait until Im sure there arent any headlights coming my way before pulling out of the driveway. But it never fails. Within 10 seconds, theres a car behind me, drafting on my bumper. I thought NASCAR was only on weekends? The speed limit is 35 miles per hour. Other than me and the 95 year old who lost his license last year after trying to drive up a tree, no one else seems to pay much attention to that. Come to think of it, even he gave me the finger once. There are six different spots on the road where I can pull over to let someone pass. And Ive used every one of them. I reach one and do just that. When the coast is clear, I pull out and try again. And 15 seconds later, theres another car on my bumper. Eventually, I make it to the bottom of the mountain, followed by a long line of unhappy neighbors. The fun continues when I reach the interstate. My Ford SUV goes from 0 to 50 in 5.2 seconds. But not when Im driving. It takes me 7.9. Minutes. Im all about good gas mileage. The guy behind me is about to have a coronary because hes been tailing me for awhile. And thats why he swerves into the passing lane as soon as we merge on to the highway. Him (steaming): #$#^%#@! Me (agitated): Have a nice day. Him (boiling): $%^%#@@! Me (more agitated): $#!@! By the time I finally do get to work, I need a nap and a Valium to calm my nerves. I settle for a beer instead. Not true. Since its breakfast time, I go for orange juice and vodka. When I share my days driving adventures with my wife, shes always amazed. You have more troubles than anyone I know. Maybe so, but Ive never driven up a tree. Not yet anyway.
Survivor Sandy Schwalb, right, and daughter Michelle Morton at the Komen Race for the Cure held on June 4, 2011 in Washington D.C. By Sandy Schwalb Special to WC Report My father was a disabled WWII veteran and my brother served during the Vietnam conflict. My husband was in the Army during Vietnam and spent 0-plus years in the Navy. I never joined the military, but I have been in a battle. Mine was fighting breast cancer, which was diagnosed in May 004. And so far well, I am still here. I received my cancer diagnosis at work, May 7, 004. The radiologist called with my biopsy result. I dont remember anything past malignant cells But once the crying stopped and the poor, poor pitiful me routine grew stale, my husband Steve helped me begin to see my life not as a victim, but a survivor. More and more we hear of men being diagnosed with breast cancer. However, the American Cancer Society reports that women are still 100 times more likely than men to be diagnosed with the disease. It is a high profile womans disease, which is quite evident through the marketing of pink ribbons, shirts, tote bags, and baseball caps to name just a few items. In fact, major league baseball (my sport of choice) has breast cancer awareness activities at all ballparks on Mothers Day. It is quite a treat to see baseball players using pink bats or wearing pink ribbons on

Crowd mingles following celebration of the 75th annivesary of the WC Courthouse. Mort Kunstlers painting On to the Shenandoah depicting Gen. Stonewall Jackson leading his troops in front of the old courthouse building during the Battle of Front Royal was unveiled in front of the newer courthouse now on the site. Campaign. The artist and Jeff LeHew unveiled the painting at the conclusion of the ceremony. Kunstler also signed prints of his works at 131 East Main Street from 10 AM to 3 PM surrounding his appearance at the courthouse ceremonies. On to the Shenandoah is the second recent Kunstler original painting depicting an incident of the Civil War occurring in Front Royal. The first was The Autograph Seekers of Bel Air illustrating an incident of Robert E. Lees passing through town and stopping to rest and water his staff s horses at the LeHew house overlooking mid-town Front Royal. Secretary Marsh spoke about the role of places and events in giving people a sense of their history. This building is an important symbol of our values and our sense of justice, Marsh said of the Warren County Courthouse, and in fact any courthouse. He then quoted two important messages gracing the entrance to a federal courthouse just 70 miles to our east. On one side it says What is past is prologue. On the other it states Learn from the past. These are lessons not only for Warren County but for our nation, Marsh said.

History in our midst - the 75-year-old courthouse sits where the original red brick county courthouse bore witness to pivotal moments in our collective history. Marsh recounted this town and countys role in our national past, including both the American Revolution and Civil War, the latter during which there was much direct suffering as a battlefield and target of federal Gen. Shermans burning of the Shenandoah Valley, which was called the breadbasket of the Confederacy.

Marsh pointed to the experience of two divisions, the First Maryland, Maryland and the First Maryland, Virginia during the Battle of Front Royal. That encounter was the only one in U.S. history in which two divisions from the same state fought each other bringing friend against friend; brother against brother; and father against son. It was an illustration of how deep the feelings about the Union were on both sides It is a sad thing too when you have those decisions to make, Marsh said. Marsh also described how later those two units, designated the Blue and Gray units of the 9th Division, would fight together under the federal banner during both World War I and World War II. So that is part of a heritage that goes back over 100 years. Perhaps ironically, Marsh pointed out that division is now posted in Afghanistan, in what is now the longest war in U.S. history. Leading up to the 11:30 AM ceremony, the Courthouse was open to the public for tours from 10 AM to 11:30 AM. To accommodate those tours the actual front door of the courthouse facing East Main Street was open to the public, an event we considered of some historical import in its own right. Over the last two years the only usable entrance to the courthouse has been the former side entrance on South Royal Avenue. The entrance changes and closure was part of a move to increased electronic scrutiny of all persons entering the courthouse an unhappy sign of increased concerns over security, violence and terrorism in the modern world.

I like Afghans very much. You just cant help it. Theyre that nice. I still stay in communication with many If we could bring village elders here for two week visits we could affect a sea of change in Afghanistan. photographer and USAID worker Jay Buckner
By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report A photo exhibit on display at Samuels Public Library throughout October led us to a conversation with the photographer, Jay Buckner of Warren County. The photos depict the people and daily life of Afghanistan, a nation in which America is now engaged in the longest war in our national history 10 years and counting. And while we are told, as we often are with the other major war the U.S. has been engaged in over the past decade, Iraq, that we are not at war
with the people of that nation, it is those people who ultimately suffer the most. We were immediately struck by a spirit and essential humanity of the Afghan people reflected in Buckners photographs. How did he come to take these photos and what is his goal as an artist in exhibiting them, we asked. The images were captured in
Kabul and in and around Herat, which is in the northwest corner of Afghanistan between Iran and what was formerly Russia, Turkmenistan. I was in-country from August through November 007 to manage an agriculture fair sponsored by USAID. My function as director was to make sure it happened. And it did Buckner told us 0,000 Afghans showed up for the

fair. It happened I had a camera with me at all times and just shot away whenever something or someone interesting caught my eye. And everything I saw interested me. It was like stepping onto the pages of National Geographic. It was fascinating. I tried to capture it all. My purpose for the exhibit is to show America that people are the same everywhere in the world; customs and clothes differ, yet we share similar hopes and desires. Dress anyone in the images in western attire and youd never know the difference. And then the photographer said something to make his point that struck us as one of the fundamental truths at the root of much of, if not all art Were all Afghans, and were all Americans. And there is basic truth at the root
of not only great art, but modern society itself in the age of globalization and the worldwide informational web people are people with the same essential hopes and dreams no matter where they live and what they wear; or we might add, their ethnic, racial and cultural differences. It is a truth we risk not only our own, but the futures of others, should we forget it. I asked Buckner if he had experienced any difficulty in getting subjects to pose, was there a distrust of the photographer as an American in a nation America has occupied for a decade? Getting an Afghan to pose is easy: take out a camera and every male within a mile will strike a pose. The individuals in the photos are all working people: farmers or merchants. None of the shots were set

up as such, rather they are candid in everyday situations. The images are of the people yet the entire collection includes several hundred photos of street scenes, shrines, architecture, etc., and can be viewed at www.bucknercreative. com. A companion memoir, Welcome to Afghanistan is available in digital form through www.barnesandnoble.com. I welcome all comments, criticism and suggestions. Buckner did point to one cultural difference that plays into his exhibit, a cultural taboo on photography of the Afghan women definitely a difference from Western cultures that use the female form and face as a marketing tool for almost any manner of product. You will note there are few images of women in the exhibit. Its taboo to take a photo of an Afghan woman. Some of the images are of people who worked alongside me in helping to make the fair happen. Others I would come across in travels through Herat and in the deserts to the east and north. I like Afghans very much. You just cant help it. Theyre that nice. I still stay in communication with many through Skype and Facebook. If we could bring village elders here for two week visits we could affect a sea of change in Afghanistan.

After failing to consider Holloways request (for financial support), the committee did vote to contribute $900 to the 18th District state delegate campaign of Bob Zwick. Zwick is challenging Republican Michael Webert for the realigned 18th District seat currently held by Clay Athey.
By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Nuevo-Democrat and North River District candidate for the Warren County Board of Supervisors Chris Holloway wont be getting any financial help from his new political Party. According to Warren County Democratic Committee Chair Kelli Hart, Holloway approached her by e-mail following the Aug. 9 Democratic meeting he attended to ask for financial support for his campaign from the committee. Hart presented the request to the Democrats business committee during the Sept. 10 monthly meeting. Holloway did not attend the meeting and no motion was made to even consider the request. As a result the
recent Republican and current Town of Front Royal vice mayor will get no financial support from his newly adopted political Party in his run for county office. Hart said she made Holloway aware of the failure of the committee to move on his request and said he has not replied to ask any questions.

According to long-time local Democrats, Holloway, like his caucus support base, had never previously been sighted at a Democratic Committee meeting or function. Do you know everyone in Warren County who is a Democrat? Holloway said in defense of himself and his supporters appearance and votes in the Aug. 6 Democratic caucus. Holloway found himself on the firing line at his first and only appearance at a WC Democratic Committee meeting on Aug. 9.

As reported in our last issue, the week after gaining the Democratic nomination Holloway said, Im not a hardcore Party guy and Im tired of politicians putting the Party first. One question Holloway has since declined to answer is why, considering those statements, he didnt run as an Independent. In July Holloway abruptly and unexpectedly resigned from the
Republican Committee he joined shortly after his election to the Front Royal Town Council in May 008. That Republican resignation of July 7 was followed by his sudden filing for the Democrats North River nomination on Aug. 3.

FRPD Officer Robbie Seal wants to be the new sheriff in town By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report We asked Robbie Seal, a 4-year veteran of the Front Royal Police Department about his challenge of Danny McEathron for Warren County Sheriff in the upcoming election. For starters, Seal told us he is 50 years old, divorced with two adult children, Shawn, 5, and Kristina, 1. First, we posed these questions to Seal about his independent challenge of the incumbent: Question Why did you decide to make a run for sheriff at this point in time? Answer The decision to run at this point in time was actually made 1 years ago when I was in the middle of my law enforcement career. I have always been a person who has set goals personally, as well as challenged others to do so that I have mentored and taught. I know in order to be an effective leader, one has to invest time and gain knowledge in their work. During my 6 years as a public servant, I have learned the challenges a community faces, the mistakes that have been made, the areas where we need to invest our law enforcement services more ef-

I am most proud of the trust our community has in me as their sheriff to provide for public safety. There is no higher constitutional office that is directly involved with the community every day. Sheriff Danny McEathron
Sheriffs race
By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report We asked incumbent Warren County Sheriff Daniel T. McEathron a series of questions on his tenure and hopes for the future of his department as he faces off against the challenge of Front Royal Police Officer Robbie Seal in this years election. The 50-year-old sheriff and 1979 graduate of Warren County High School began with his vital stats: married to wife Donna for 8 years, with two children, Eli, 18, and Alayna, 16, McEathron has lived in the county for 37 years. We began with specific questions about his tenure as sheriff: Question How do you feel the WCSO is different, for better or worse, since you became sheriff? Answer Since taking office in 004, the sheriff s office has increased the number of positions for patrol and correctional deputies to help better serve our com-
munity as it grows. Our office has achieved accreditation and re-accreditation from the Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission and has been recognized as one of the most professional offices in the Commonwealth. There have been many changes over the past eight years in keeping up with the technological advancements and capital improvement projects. However, the thing that wont ever be different is my commitment to our community to provide the highest level of professionalism and accountabil-

when it comes to technology and forensics will allow the deputies, investigators and communications officers to perform their job in an office or room that is designed specifically for that purpose. I serve as chairman of the Rappahannock Shenandoah Warren Regional Jail Building Committee. This project will begin construction in June 01 and will be completed in June 014. The new jail is a necessity because future expansion of the court facility will consume our current facility. The transition will be smooth and well planned out with the assistance of all three jurisdictions and Department of Corrections. With this change I will no longer directly oversee a jail. A superintendent will be hired and the Jail Authority, which I am a part of, will provide oversight for all three counties. Q Also, there has been some
public grousing about locating the Public Safety Building next to a high school do you view the location as the best or best available? And why do you think there was some public uneasiness about the proximity of law enforcement headquarters next to a public high school? A In response to the location of the WCPSB I am very pleased with the location for several reasons. First, being so close and in fact overseeing the safety of our children and those that educate them is a very good thing. I wouldnt have it any other way. Secondly, I know people were a little uneasy at first mostly because they may have been under the impression we would have inmates there, which wont happen. In talking about this for so long, now the input I receive from the public is supportive of the location. Lastly, the location on Sky-
line Vista Drive is geographically the center of Warren County and centrally located to the citizens we serve. Q What are your major priorities in both the short and longterm for the WCSO? A My major priority will always be our service to this community. Over the next four years the WCPSB and RSW Regional Jail will be completed. This will conclude 10 years of planning, construction and implementation of those major projects. As far as long term, I plan on being sheriff for a long time so continuing to have over communitys trust and support is what I work for everyday. Q What do you feel could be improved with the department, if anything, and how do you plan to go about achieving that?
A We evolve every day depending on what the demands and needs are to carry out our mission. The Warren County Sheriff s Office is a very progressive office and we are very proactive, so I wouldnt change anything on how we provide public safety because we keep up with the trends every day! The partnerships we have in our community and the great working relationships we have with other jurisdictions are paramount to our success. Q Are there any particular challenges from having an independent town law enforcement department that is totally separate administratively from the sheriff s department? If so, how do you work to coordinate countywide law enforcement with FRPD? A There are no challenges having independent town law enforcement. The Front Royal Police Department provides a very good service to the town residents. The Warren County Sheriff s office is a full service sheriff s office that provides law enforcement, civil, court security, animal control and corrections to Front Royal and Warren County. The two entities are separate by charter and/or constitutional authority. The police department and sheriff s office coordinate law enforcement activities regularly, whether it is by special enforcement or task force operations. However, a po-

lice officer cannot perform routine law enforcement outside his departments lawful boundaries without the sheriff giving them authority as a deputy. I dont foresee that happening because the two are managed differently and it wouldnt be fair to the taxpayers of the town that expect their officers to work for them within the corporate boundaries of the town.

On Oct. 29, 1618, Sir Walter Raleigh, English adventurer and favorite courtier of Queen Elizabeth I, is beheaded in London, under a sentence brought against him 15 years earlier. He had been released to establish a gold mine in South America. On Oct. 27, 1873, an Illinois farmer named Joseph Glidden submits an application to the U.S. Patent Office for his design for a fencing wire with sharp barbs. Gliddens two-strand barb wire design changed the face of the American West. On Oct. 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland dedicates The Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States, in New York Harbor. Originally known as Liberty Enlightening the World, the statue was to commemorate the Franco-American alliance during the American Revolution. On Oct. 24, 1901, a 63-year-old schoolteacher named Annie Edson Taylor becomes the first person to take the plunge over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Taylor reached the shore alive, if a bit battered, 20 minutes after her journey began. On Oct. 30, 1938, Orson Welles causes a nationwide panic with his broadcast of War of the Worlds a realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth. The radio hoax included an announcement of a large meteor crash in New Jersey and the annihilation of 7,000 National Guardsmen. On Oct. 25, 1944, during the Battle of the Leyte Gulf, the Japanese deploy kamikaze suicide bombers against U.S. warships for the first time. More than 1,321 Japanese pilots crash-dived their planes into Allied warships during World War II. On Oct. 26, 1986, Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner lets an easy ground ball dribble between his legs and roll down the right-field line during the 10th inning of the sixth game of the World Series. The game was tied and, thanks to Buckners error, the runner on third had time to score, winning the game for the Mets and forcing a tiebreaking seventh game which, in the final innings, the Mets also won.

restaurants, Applebees, Cracker Barrel and TGIFridays. That legal decision seemed to be largely based on the fact the county implemented its own 4-percent meals tax in 00, four years after the original corridor agreement fees were approved by a state-judge panel. The county began taking on additional funding responsibilities, including parks and recreation, fire & rescue and the local airport as part of the 5 Corridor Agreement that saw the town extend its central water and sewer service into the countys northside to facilitate industrial and commercial development there. The corridor agreement and consequent business recruitment was developed at least in part to replace lost commercial tax revenue and employment opportunities in the aftermath of the closing of the Avtex rayon manufacturing plant that had been the communitys commercial centerpiece for nearly five decades between 1940 and 1989.

cel) to allow the town to develop its adjacent McKay Springs property as a future water source and treatment facility to supplement the Towns water supply. Supplementing the towns water supply could become a priority of the county in its desire to see additional central water-sewer extensions to facilitate future commercial and residential growth in the 5 North Corridor. Several councilmen have stated the town must be sure it can satisfy its own future water needs before agreeing to additional service in the county. Among in-town future needs will be development of the 160-acre Royal Phoenix Business Park at the Avtex Superfund site and a number of Urban Development Areas designated to accommodate state requirements for the county on future growth adjacent to existing development and central utility service. As a footnote, when the county was hedging on purchase of the McKay Springs property in the 1990s due to price, the town jumped in and bought the property the county had envisioned as its own potential central water source. Hey, when you snooze you lose as they say.

fair funding issues with the EDA and ongoing right-of-way acquisition of properties targeted for construction of Leachs Run Parkway, as well as the countys request for a waiver to add cistern-collected water at the site of the Regional Jail construction into the towns sewer system. EDA & Leachs Run Parkway Town Manager Steve Burke told council the priorities were settlement of the town-county funding of the EDA at or close to the current 70/30-percent split (county-town) so the EdA can proceed with an application for VDOT fund sharing in the Leachs Run Parkway construction. One issue for council appeared to be a requested waiver of several liens on some ROW properties by the EDA. Burke explained the liens dated back to charges levied on property owners when town water-sewer was extended into the area. Even property owners declining the connection were charged due to the potential positive impact on property values in the area. Why would we want to forgive the liens? Tom Conkey asked. We dont the EDA is looking to purchase the properties at the lowest price possible, Burke replied. Its a Peter-Paul thing. Peter, Paul and Mary? Conkey retorted. Not nearly as melodic, Burke replied, not missing Conkeys musical reference cue. A consensus seemed to be that as long as the town benefited from the EDAs purchase at a lower price, the waiver wasnt a problem. Burke also noted that the total amount of involved lien waivers being requested by the EDA amounted to

between one and two thousand dollars in purchase prices of hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also reminded council that time was of the essence on concluding and signing off on the related EDA fair funding formula by the end of October so the EDA could meet a Nov. 1 deadline on applying for VDOT revenue sharing on the road project. If they agree with everything we say it wont be a problem, Mayor Tim Darr joked. There was some grousing about wording of one condition in the EDA fair funding formula calling for the town to agree without unreasonable delay to proceed to public hearing and consideration of the zoning application of Heptad LLC for the Swan Farm property. That property owned by local developer and former supervisor and current town EDA board appointee Ron Llewellyn has one crucial Leachs Run Parkway parcel attached to it. Council consensus was that condition S-3 containing the above wording was unnecessary and essentially covered in another MOA bullet S13 stating that The County, Town and EDA agree as much as possible to expedite plans, rezoning applications, conditional use permit applications, subdivision applications (if necessary) and development plans (if necessary) from Heptad LLC, from the EDA, from Valley Health, and from any other developers of land that would benefit by the construction of the LRP (Leachs Run Parkway) to assist in the accomplishment of the purposes of this memorandum of Understanding. Springs, tourism, transpo Council also reviewed changes to the McKay Springs Memorandum of Understanding designed to clarify the relative roles of the town and county in ownership of various McKay parcels and the towns eventual desire to develop the springs as an addition to the towns central water utility.

ments. No conclusion on management responsibilities was broached. Cistern request Council and the mayor continued to be pessimistic the town would be able to satisfy the countys request to add cistern-collected water into the town sewer system. The reluctance is largely due to opening such requests up to all other sewer system users, consequently driving up capacities and increasing the cost of the federal and state-mandated upgrades to the towns wastewater treatment facility. That cost is currently fluctuating at between $30 million and $40 million depending on market variables. I think the county will be more satisfied if they heard from the town and county attorneys why we cant accommodate this, Hollis Tharpe said. rogerb@warrencountyreport.com

million its phenomenal. Siegel said the refinancing would be done carefully so as not to impact the $3.5 million Historical Tax Credit the county got, in addition to the 008 favorable rates, on the Luray Avenue school renovations. The forecast savings also include any early payment penalties from the original bond issued through BB&T. On Aug. Cole told the board BB&T had been offered a chance to match the refinancing rates being offered through the Virginia Resources Authority but had declined. According to charts presented to the board on Oct. 4, the remaining 18 year life of the new bond issue will reduce the county and EDAs total debt service from $54,437,909 to $51,546,780 or a total of $,891,19. The annual debt service savings are estimated at between $100,000 and $00,000 per year, an average of about $160,000 over the remaining 18-year life of the bonds. While a closing on the VRA refinancing will not occur until Nov. 16 based on market pricing done on Nov. 1st and Nov. nd, the Davenport officials seemed confident the current market trends would continue favorably. Cole said that while the overall economy was showing slight improvement, it wasnt as much as usual and the trends would likely continue to keep interest rates low.

The Warren County United Way extends its heartfelt thank you to all our Warren County citizens you have done it again!! This years Campaign Kickoff event, the 10th Annual Shrimp, Oyster and BBQ Fest, held on Saturday, Sept. 17 at the Front Royal Volunteer Fire Hall, was by any accounting a great success. The event was sold out and most importantly, almost $15,000 was netted in this event to help our 13 agencies operate in 01. FUN! smiled Executive Director Lee Smith Osina when asked to sum up the annual event. It was just fun from start to finish. All our friends and neighbors came out, took one look at the fabulous spread put on by Apple House, and went to town! The menu, which is a major focus of this event, featured steamed shrimp, oysters of all varieties and true Southern barbeque. Business was brisk, and more than 00 pounds of colossal shrimp were happily enjoyed by our guests. Last years campaign ended up raising $111,071, the largest amount raised in FR by United Way since 007. This years goal is $11,000 our theme is: $11,000 FOR 01! and this event begins the actual fundraising process to assure their funding. I am so excited that we did even better than last year...that is you folks out there telling us we are on the right track! Campaign Chairman Beth Medved Waller of Weichert Realtors said. Our table sponsors were terrific and helped us sell out this most-

continue to go forward with our efforts for the remainder of Wayside Theatres 50th Anniversary Season, were not out of the woods yet. In fact, the work ahead of us will be even more crucial. The question remains as to whether or not we can convert this outpouring of support from our community into a sustained base of funding for the programs we offer. Concurrent with raising these funds, weve cut our staff by four positions and that will have an impact on our efforts going forward. We still have long term debt, secured by the property the theatre owns and those needs have to be addressed as well. The Wayside Theatre Board of Directors is studying quite a few options on how to change or adapt the theatres business model, which depends on ticket sales and donations, going forward, and we plan to have an announcement in November about what those changes may bring. If you have any questions, please contact any of us at Wayside Theatre at 540 869-1776 or via info@waysidetheatre.org. (Wayside Theatre is the oldest professional theatre in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Additional information can be obtained on the theatres website at www.waysidetheatre.org. Wayside Theatre is located in Middletown, Va. on Route 11, Main Street, just north of the intersection of I-66 and I81.) (From a release)

OPINION:
By Malcolm Barr, Sr. Warren County Report There is no question now about the popularity of Wayside Theatre and its major contribution to the arts of the Northern Shenandoah Valley, as illustrated by the outpouring from the people and companies and foundations that have provided more than $100,000 to keep the Wayside out of bankruptcy. But a chance encounter in a Stephens City dentists parking lot with Dr. Byron Brill, vice president of the Wayside Foundation for the Arts, brought this most recent drama at the Wayside into focus. Brills approach was a tad more serious than that of the loquacious artistic director, Warner Crocker, who joyfully announced in a media release that a weekend (Oct.

to do with the success of the funds drive. My personal quest for contributions in the wake of the Reports challenge netted much more than $50, but it also raised the question by substantial donors about what happens next year. So far, there has been no official word on how the board proposes to deal with that, although promises have been made. Promises, however, will not make a $1 million long term debt disappear without considerable effort by each individual member of the board, plus firm leadership toward an attainable target following an imaginative though feasible business plan. Such is worthy of this veritable jewel of the Valley. Wayside Theatre is 50 years old this year, and it deserves to be in the vanguard of promoting the arts in Frederick, Shenandoah, Clark, Warren and Rappahannock counties. It can remain so, but not without strong leadership, and not without more support from its brothers and sisters in the arts, and not without financial support from the various city, county and town governments in the area; as well as from the state government itself (Ms. Vogel, take note!). It is significant that Wayside appears to be the only major arts center in the Commonwealth that receives no funding from any local government body. Not even Middletown, most vociferous in protest and concern when the theater moved itself to Front Royal during a period of renovation (which added to the onerous short and long term debt). Even as recently as last month, Mayor Mark Brown lamented the possible demise of the theater and its deleterious effect on businesses in the town. But not a nickel is included in the town budget to support the pride of its main street. Ah yes! The recession ... Crocker has publicly blamed the recent (current?) recession on a
Regional arts
slump in seat sales, and in annual memberships. Maybe so But butts in seats, agreed Brill in the parking lot, can go a long way toward helping keep the theater in the black. Westervelt agreed with me way back that his board should do more by way of increasing attendance. If every board member met a goal of bringing in 0 people to each of a seasons five shows, do the multiplication and see just how many more dollars that would produce, I challenged. I recall he said he would issue that challenge. One of my contacts blamed Crocker on the financial shortfalls at Wayside, questioned his management techniques. But hey! Just a minute. Crocker was hired as the artistic director 10 years ago. And, according to the theaters website, at least $300K of the shortfall predated Crocker by several years. Few have questioned his artistic talent. He put on two hats because of necessity, and the various boards allowed--encouraged--it. He had no management experience and did not ask for a job he undertook to the best of his ability. In my opinion, he made a better job of what hes really trained for, but has no apologies to make for doing a job he was not. With the immediate cash crisis behind them, recruitment of a manager with a proven track record should be a first order of business for the Westervelt-led board. Otherwise, the staff has learned to operate with fewer people, and has done so admirably. All board members should immediately be challenged to actively help fill seats. Middletown should lead the way in providing even token public financial support of the theater. That support -- may we suggest a dollar per head per taxpayer would not skew the town budget? -- could pave the way to other jurisdictions being asked. Even token support, when added together, can make a huge difference to a non-profits bottom line. The recent outpouring from nascent supporters of the Wayside shows us just that. (Malcolm Barr, Sr. is a regular contributor to the WC Report. He served on the Wayside board for two three-year terms (2003-2009) and received a LEO Award this year for his contributions to Wayside and to furtherance of the arts in the Valley)

Sheriffs race
SEAL from pg. 14
Office to create the team I expect to be onboard in the goals we have for our citizens. I want personnel with people skills. I will hold all my personnel accountable, especially on the supervisory level. I will challenge personnel to implement fresh ideas and provide them with the training and tools to be more knowledgeable, proactive and efficient in their work. I do not believe in the concept that sheriff department employees work at the pleasure of the Sheriff, but rather that they work for the pleasure of the people. If my personnel should displease the people then I will be displeased, should I find good cause to be so. I will not tolerate unprofessional conduct and have a reputation in dealing with such behavior accordingly. I do not believe in the good ole boy network and will instill fairness into the workplace when it comes to promotions and disciplinary measures. I consider myself very much a conservative and meticulous when it comes to evaluating budget issues, especially when you are playing with taxpayer money. I got [that attitude] honestly as I was raised by a single mother under government assistance for awhile until she educated herself and got a good job. I still eat leftovers and shop at the Dollar Stores. So, having come from such a background, the citizens can rest assured that all budget considerations will be heavily researched and justified. Having been on a supervisory level over half my career in law enforcement and a businessman, I have learned there are two different types of managers one you have to work for and the other who you love to work for. My management style involves being a shaker and a mover in how I work to obtain results, but with a personality that is readily favorable to those I task. In all the years as a middle manager supervising other officers, the one statistic that no officer has surpassed me is the number of days worked in a given year. This means that I take care of my personnel and the citizens I serve. When people come into my office, the plaques and awards they see on the walls will be the accomplishments of those within the ranks of the Sheriff s Office; then I can tell their stories to the citizens, not my own. Q - People often feel comfortable with what they are used to - why should current WCSO employees, particularly higher ranking

officers, not be fearful of the change a turnover at the top would bring if you were elected? A - As I had mentioned in a discussion topic on my Friends of Robbie Seal for Sheriff Facebook page, anyone who has followed a Sheriff s election will eventually hear or be concerned about whether a newly elected Sheriff will clean house or make drastic changes once he/she takes office. From my experience, very rarely do you see that happen and I want to assure all citizens and the personnel of the WCSO that this

it is not applicable to the true needs of the department then its worthiness must be questioned. I always have said, What is everybody else doing and do they have the resources we can tap into, if needed? If you do the research on budgetary considerations, you will be more prudent in how you utilize and spend taxpayers money. Several ideas I have to offset taxpayer expense within the WCSO budget involve enacting ordinances concerning road safety and zoning issues that the Virginia State Code has statute on, establishing a non-profit foundation for the Sheriff s office (much like the PD has done) where citizens and businesses can make contributions. I, most likely and which is probably already the case, will have a designated individual to oversee the workings of the budget in where the department stands in the day-to-day operations Q - How will coming from another local law enforcement department in the county help or hinder you if elected? A - First, if you consider the past, the transition of members from the Front Royal Police Dept. who became a Sheriff went pretty well. If elected, I would be the third Front Royal police officer to have been elected Sheriff. Charles Chuck Sturdivant and Lynn Armentrout were the others that made that transition. There is no question that such a transition would only help. I would be bringing a wealth of knowledge of the workings of FRPD and its members, my familiarity of Town government and its officials into the sheriff s office, which would enable me and my staff to create a better partnership with the Chief and his administration as well as the Town. As for the personnel of the WCSO, many of them have known me for a long time and those that havent I am confident have heard some positive things about me and know that I respect their hard work and service I expect a warm welcome, if elected General Qs for both candidates: Q There are two major physical moves coming up: 1/ into new administrative headquarters; the other with staff and inmates into a new regional jail in several years what changes and challenges do those moves present to the sheriff? Also, there has been some public grousing about locating the Public Safety Building next to a high school do you view the location as the best or best available; and why do you think there was some public uneasiness about the proximity of law enforcement headquarters next to a public high school? A - I believe I am among the majority of citizens who had a negative concern or opinion on the location of where the new county Public Safety Building was being located. I realized this more so over the last few months visiting and/or speaking with the citizens on my campaign trail. The idea of having the public safety building across from Skyline High School just doesnt sit well with a lot of folks. Some of the comments mentioned to me from citizens ranged from not liking the prospects of arrested individuals being transported in the area to disruption in the school classroom with sirens going by. I know if I had been Sheriff at the time and wanted to push for such a capital improvement to equip the department; if realizing the needs of such a project, I would endorse an extensive and thorough space study entailing geographical alternatives, existing infrastructure availability, the current economic conditions, construction costs, impact considerations, etc. And, without having researched the venture during its initial considerations, I know such a study was completed. However, from my perspective, though the public safety building is being built on already owned county land, given the price tag on the new building, I still wonder whether enough was done to limit taxpayer spending. As Sheriff, I might have
will not happen if I am elected! Any rumors of the sort are purely propaganda tactics by whoever is mentioning it, which is usually some of the leadership that is threatened by my candidacy. It is the oldest trick in the book to make employees and their families nervous ... It is just not
practical and would be foolish for any candidate to even consider such a position For many citizens there are those favorite officers or deputies that have grown to know their families and have helped them in their hour of need when called upon. When these law enforcement officers
eventually leave the community or retire, these citizens feel a great loss. As mentioned earlier, there is a tremendous resource of talent inside the walls of the WCSO. If elected Sheriff, I will bring leadership that is acceptable because the people of Warren County believe I have the vision to carry the Sheriff s Office into the next four years with what they need, want and expect. Q - Do you see any fat or gaps in the current WCSO budget; and do you have any ideas on improving how the department is funded or organized? A - With everything going on in my campaign, I havent really sat down and thoroughly studied every line item within the WCSO budget. But as I mentioned before, I am a stickler on taxpayer money and I do have several concerns that actually reflect citizen comments. I would most certainly take a hard look at the necessity of the need for the number of SUVs in the patrol fleet and question the justification on this expense. With added equipment comes added maintenance, which requires additional expenditures out of the operating budget. I am also leery of having anything that spends more time sitting than being utilized and if

tweaked some of the dynamic needs in relation to the Sheriff s Office. Regardless, the Sheriff s Office and Emergency Services management will be moving into the new building and we need to move forward but hopefully learn how to plan better in the future. As far as the regional jail is concerned, I welcome and am excited with the prospect. First, it will relieve the Sheriff of the tremendous responsibility concerning inmate incarceration and some of the programs associated with it. With the problems the current Sheriff has had with inmate suicides and trustees absconding over the past few years, my efforts as Sheriff in establishing structure and discipline will diminish with the new facility absorbing jail responsibilities. This will give me a better opportunity to focus on the outreach programs I wish to establish for the community. One such program I hope to establish would partner directly with the regional jail. The program I have in mind would be patterned much like the scared straight program most of us have heard about. This would involve rehabilitated inmates currently incarcerated to speak to our troubled youth about the issues of drugs, drinking and driving, bullying, etc. I believe with such a program, we would be helping a number of our kids and even our schools in combating the behavior issues that exist and hopefully keep our youth from getting into trouble. Of course, with such a change comes the reduction of personnel also, and while I am confident that many of the current jail personnel will relocate into the new facility, there will be some that may be looking for a job elsewhere. For those, I will make it a priority to assist them by contacting other correctional institutions or entities they are pursuing. Q What are your major priorities in both the short and long-term for the WCSO? A. If elected, one of my first priorities will be to assess the inner-workings of the office and the responsibilities of its personnel. I plan to task all personnel with listing the three major concerns they have within their workplace in order to address these issues and prove to them the type of leader I am in looking out for them. Through my motivation and innovative skills, having a satisfied workforce paves the way in carrying on the functions of the office more efficiently. The programs that currently exist and have been benefiting the public will continue and those that have not but have merit will be restructured to provide the service it was meant to I also plan to address citizens concerns on enforcement issues such as speeding, dumping and any other crime or neighborhood issues. This can be done by attending subdivision HOA or Neighborhood Watch meetings with the public. In addition, my command staff will meet with leaders of FRPD, Emergency Services and the Town and County to address any concerns or ideas in creating a better working relationship. My long term outlook involves being consistent with monitoring and servicing the citizens with the existing programs and implementing new ideas and dialogue with the citizens. Some of the programs I have in mind at this time are: Creating a volunteer group of citizens that want to partner with the sheriff s office in order to help our community. I plan on naming this program V.I.T.A.L. (Volunteers Involved Together Assisting Law Enforcement); From VITAL, we can create volunteers to establish a program for the elderly which we will name S.A.V.E. (Senior Aid Volunteer Effort). The goal of this program is to lessen the incidents of our older citizens from becoming victims of contracting fraud and to have someone they can rely on to help with certain needs; Establish a joint effort with the Town and FRPD in sharing SRO (School Resource Officer) responsibilities to lessen the burden of the sheriff s office to monitor the program for all the schools, while creating a positive relationship between students and town officers; Establish a Central Dispatch Center managed by a Director and overseen by a Board; Conduct annual meetings with the public to ascertain their input on the WCSO effectiveness or lack of (a sheriff needs to know what the people think); Partner with youth organizations such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Boys/Girls Club and introduce them into our community to provide role models for our youth who lack positive family values in their life. My VITAL program could entice these organizations to become established; Partner with the Superintendent of the future Regional Jail on a program targeting troubled youth in inmates mentoring them on the issues of crime and behavior Introduce potential legislation that will both target safety concerns in the community while also creating potential revenue. The Virginia State Code already has established statutes in which municipalities can enact their own ordinances to enforce areas of concern. I have several in mind that I wish to introduce.
If elected, I would be the third Front Royal police officer to have been elected Sheriff. Charles Chuck Sturdivant and Lynn Armentrout were the others that made that transition. There is no question that such a transition would only help. Robbie Seal
Q. Are there any particular challenges from having an independent town law enforcement department that is totally separate administratively from the sheriff s department? If so, how do you/would you work to coordinate countywide law enforcement with FRPD. A. The biggest challenge is sustaining that partnership on a consistent basis and sharing information that is so important to both agencies efforts in protecting and servicing the needs of all the citizens in the Town and County. Having another law enforcement agency only enhances the benefits afforded to the citizens of the Town in the services they expect from their law enforcement officers. While responsible for the law enforcement services in our respective jurisdictions, both departments command staff or at least the Sheriff and the Chief or Police should have periodic meetings in order to insure that we are working together and that we are utilizing the existing MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) to assist each other when requested upon. I would like to see the prospects of combining some of the resources from both departments like my SRO idea in the future to where the public can be reassured that their law enforcement agencies are in union together for the community as a whole! Q What are the biggest challenges for a sheriff in a semi-rural county, with a number of somewhat remote and hard to access communities, like Warren? A. Believe it or not but some folks would be surprised at some of the topography that I have had to patrol in Town over the years that could compare to the county! But seriously, any challenges that exist I am already familiar with. I really became familiar with the county and its mountainous subdivisions when I worked as a real estate agent for almost 10 years while still a police officer with the Town. The sheriff s office is equipped with the type of patrol vehicles that can traverse the mountainous landscape in the county subdivisions but even though, severe inclement whether could make access difficult. Another big concern would be whether there exist dead spots when it comes to radio and cell phone communications. Identifying hazards and difficult conditions is part of the training law enforcement goes through and learning to utilize other resources to access these areas when called upon is what will be done to assist our citizens in need. Q Class War has been an issue in the Republican nominating process for the 01 presidential campaign. Slowly but surely in the national media there has been increasing attention on the Wall Street protests in NYC against the major banking establishments, lending institutions and investment firms for their roles in the ongoing economic downturn and foreclosure crisis. That open-ended protest appears to be gaining some momentum across the country, mostly in major cities at this point. Were those protests to make their way into this community, what do you see as law enforcements role in policing a citizen redress of grievances against banks and other institutions at the center of the foreclosure and national economic crisis ? A I have followed this recent issue in the news and for the most part I hope it stays in the major cities. However, since anything is possible and should a similar public protest (though I believe it would be on a much lesser scale) erupt in our community, it would be the role of law enforcement to work with the protesting citizens to make sure that such demonstrations are conducted peacefully without violence. It doesnt hurt to have trained negotiators at the scene to spell out the requirements and expectations of everyone and the ramifications if things get out of hand. Law enforcement understands all people have the fundamental right to protest and that our only involvement is to insure that the safety of persons and property are protected and the keeping of peace paramount because this is also a fundamental right of citizens and an expectation of law enforcement to uphold.

ments. Grants have led to a better understanding of the benefits of trees, the development of hardier plants and methods of protecting trees while using fewer pesticides. Increasing the publics awareness of the importance of trees is a high priority for the Tour. To further this effort, several trees will be planted along the route. Each participant is tasked with raising at least $3500 for the cause. The riders will be coming from points as far as Florida, Ontario, California and British Colombia. A local cyclist who has participated for many years is Tom Armstrong of the Bartlett Tree Expert Company. On Day 5, October 6th, the cadre of tree champions will arrive in Front Royal, completing the grueling leg from Charlottesville via the Skyline Drive. At 9am on October 7th, the group arrives at the Virginia State Arboretum at Blandy Farm. After a public tree planting ceremony, the cyclists will continue on to Reston and, finally, Washington, D.C. As the riders housing and meal expenses are being covered by corporate sponsorship, 100% of all donations to the STIHL Tour des Trees will benefit the TREE Fund. For more information or to make a tax-deductible donation to local Team MAC-ISA, visit stihltourdestrees.org. Stewart 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.
