Austin Farley wishes Happy Birthday - hers - to the animals at Julia Wagner Animal Shelter. By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report At age 9, Austin Farley perhaps grasps the notion that it is more blessed to give, than to receive better than many of us with a few more birthdays behind us. According to her mom, Austin asked guests at her ninth birthday party to provide gifts for the animals housed at the Julia Wagner Animal Shelter operated by the Humane Society of Warren County, rather than for her. Austins friends obliged, bringing several large bags of dog food, cat food, kitty litter, Kong toys especially good for serious chewing cat beds and more. Austin and her friends celebrated her Jan. 5th birthday on Saturday, Jan. 7th and Austin made the delivery of gifts to the Wagner Shelter animals

media. He has used the pages of the Warren County Report as a personal left-wing propaganda sheet. Sincerely, George Woloshyn Linden, VA PS- BTW: Your banner is misleading. Rather than 0,000 readers it should state: 0,000 copies dumped in various locations and adding to the countys environmental pollution and litter.....no idea if anybody reads it. (Managing editors note: Shame on you, George, rummaging through other peoples trash to read our paper. But seriously, as Rodney Dangerfield says I cant get no respect around here. No, really, Im getting serious now: A/ I assure you I am neither the editor of the Capital News Service that originates in Richmond on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, nor am I using Michael Bodine as a pen name. B/ as for Mr. Woloshyns yada, yada, yada loss of interest in the last portion of this sentence the irrational hysteria ... of religious extremists who seem hell-bent on forcing ... yada.. yada..yada. I guess Im not surprised at his editing out (forcing) their noquarters perception of reality on all Americans under the guise of religious freedom. If the yada, yada, yada fits, just yada, yada over it. C/ after visiting Mr. Woloshyns online link supporting Ms. Dominguezs assertion that Planned Parenthood is a billion-dollar abortion industry investing in the sex trafficking of young girls, I stand by our referenced stats and facts about Planned Parenthoods mission and services, rather than any extremist, right-wing website claims but thats just me. The sites sex trafficking claims appear to revolve around personal claims that Planned Parenthood provides medical services to women the website claims have been indentified as prostitutes. D/ As for my opinions, or anyone elses, well they are like, you know everybodys got one. Ill stand by mine, or over it, them Oh, never mind.) Hoover v. Bianchini Sir: Who is the true patriot? That is the question that came to mind when I read the typical right wing rant by Richard Hoover in response to Roger Bianchinis article Patriotism 101: not blind prejudice an lies. When one considers the principals upon which this great nation was founded, Roger wins hands down. Those principals are embodied in the Declaration of Independence which I suggest Mr. Hoover read in its entirety. We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. - That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and happiness. Senator Carl Shurz, Chicago, Illinois, on October 17 1899 made the following astute observation. I confidently trust that the American people will prove themselves too wise to detect false pride or the dangerous ambitions or the selfish schemes which so often bide themselves under the deceptive cry of mock patriotism: Our country right or wrong! They will not fail to recognize that our dignity, our free institutions and the peace and welfare of this and coming generations of Americans will be secure only as we cling to the watchword of true patriotism: Our country - when right to be kept right; when wrong to be put right. The following from The True Patriot By Eric Liu and Nick Hanaurer is right on the money: America today is drifting from its best traditions. We have allowed false profits of selfishness to obscure our vision. We have grown numb to creeping cynicism about progress and public life. We crave human connection yet hide behind walls. We worship the money chase yet decry the toll it exacts on us. We allow the market to dominate our lives, relationships, yearnings and aspirations. We indulge in nostalgia and irony and entertainment, then purge from our hearts any true idealism or passion, any notion that being American should mean more than everyday low prices or every man for himself. Its time to return to true patriotism. What does it mean today to be patriotic? Lui and Hanaurer explain. Patriotism means pride. But true patriotism is earned pride: It means appreciating not only what is great about our country but also what it takes to create and sustain greatness. It means being proud of how we react to each other, how we plan for the future, how we meet challenges and threats. True patriotism celebrates the hard choices needed to create more op-
WCR is a trashy rag, part 1 Editor, Good thing your paper is free because I certainly would not buy it. Your recent articles on the occupy movement, anti-fetal (including your editors disparaging note to Ms. Dominguezs letter to the editor), and then the nerve to print about dissent and the truth (and which side is currently getting violent, right here in the U.S.A.?), have rendered you a puppet for the White House Administration. You are both trying to do exactly what Goebbels did. I can get the same crossword puzzle from another county paper but I will use yours for lining the bird cage and starting a warm fire for the evening. Could you be any more left leaning? Geez! Angela Magnotto Linden, VA (Managing editors note: While Ms. Magnotto declined to verify more than her e-mail address and Linden as a location, we bent our rules a little to see that she got her 2 cents in dont want to be accused of censorship, do we?!!? That said, last time I checked it was still legal to have left leaning opinions in America. The new American political rights opinion that to be liberal, left of center or dare I even suggest progressive is somehow un-American is typical of the extremist mindset characteristic of the rise of right-wing totalitarian societies no argument, no compromise, no other opinion than ours can be heard because our opinion is Gods will and should be that of the state as well. Pretty scary ) WCR is a trashy rag, part 2 Editor, I was amused to read Mr. Bianchinis pompous reference to both this publication and the editor of

the Capital News Service as standing by the fairness and content of Michael Bodines tendentious story on abortion. He might as well have abbreviated his comments by simply referring to all three as me, myself, and I. Mr. B then morphed from his dual role as Managing Editor and Reporter into that of ombudsman by first seeking the high ground of a disinterested commentator on a highly complex and debatable issue before taking his more customary stance against the irrational hysteria....of religious extremists who seem hellbent on forcing....yada..yada..yada. Unless I misread his Managing editors note, he even seems to have lapsed into self-delusion by referring the reader to earlier articles in the Warren County Report as authoritative on such issues. And all along I thought the Report was simply a bulky advertising flyer held together with Mr. Bs uninteresting musings and left-wing rants. But lets get back to Mr. Bs highminded effort to correct Jessica Dominguezs slanderous and inaccurate letter (by hurling some slanderous and inaccurate characterizations of his own). Mrs. Dominguez is accused of unsubstantiated hyperbole for suggesting that Planned Parenthood is a billion-dollar abortion business that perpetrates sextrafficking of young girls and is US tax-payer funded. Mrs. Dominguez was simply referring to the 009 testimony of Abby Johnson, a former PP clinic director: I can tell you from experience that Planned Parenthood often turns a blind eye to sexual abuse and trafficking. Furthermore, if the reader should seek further support for Ms. Johnsons statement, there are 7 videos taken at 7 different PP clinics on http:// liveaction.org/traffick. As regards Mr. Bs assertion that abortions account for only three percent of PPs public funding, he is simply reading from a PP playbook. Planned Parenthood gets one third ($363 million) of its funding from the federal government while it has been cutting back on programs such as adoption, breast cancer screening, and infertility service. As has often been shown in Congressional testimony, money is fungible and those (public) funds that are used to pay for overhead and other non-abortion costs become available for abortion services. Mr. B. should follow his own advice by not expressing so irrationally his opinion on such highly complex and debatable issues as motivations of people of faith, or supporters of free enterprise, or simply plain, everyday patriotic citizens and residents of Warren County who are fed up with whats going on in the country and in Washington and in our

portunity for more people, and the values that guide those choices. We have come to this sad state of affairs because money has bought politics. Our politicians know the problem but they are not going to fix it. Only we the people, a large unrelenting group can take it back with a grass roots campaign for a constitutional amendment to remove money from politics and only public funding be allowed. When the money is withdrawn politicians will no longer be on the payroll of any one except the citizens. We dont need hirefor- pay-whores in Washington. Go to get the money out.com to see the proposed amendment and if you agree please sign the petition. Gene Rigelon Front Royal, VA (Managing editors note: thanks, after the previous two letters, I needed that.) A United Way thanks Dear Editor, As Campaign Chair for the Front Royal/Warren County United Way, I feel compelled to personally thank this wonderful community for enabling us to reach goal for two years in a row, raising over $11,000 in both 011 and 01. Throughout the campaigns, Ive been amazed at the commitment of the United Way board members, volunteers, our Executive Director, our friends in the media, and of course our faithful donors. Id like to especially thank our Gold Sponsor, Cory Michael of CBM Mortgage, and our new Pacesetters Leadership Club members: Dr. Charles Delcambre, Craig Laird, George McIntyre and Bill Powers. We are blessed to have a community that truly understand what it means to give generously. Those who supported the campaign gave our local neighbors in need a helping hand by recognizing what power even $1 per week, $5 per year, can give to our 13 member agencies: The American Red Cross, Blue Ridge Legal Services, Blue Ridge Opportunities, Boy Scouts, Community Transitional Housing Program, Concern Hotline, Front Royal Womens Resource Center, Girl Scouts, Harmony Place, Healthy Families of Warren County, House of Hope, Mental Health America, and St. Luke Community Clinic. For your financial support and the countless lives touched by our member agencies thanks to your donations, I thank you, Warren County for LIVING UNITED! Sincerely, Beth Medved Waller Volunteer Campaign Chair FR/WC United Way Help clean up Editor, Years ago I traveled through the Shenandoah Valley and fell in love with its charm, leading to my wish to live here someday. A few years later I met and married a native of the Valley and we retired here. My husband and I have both become involved in our church and community. Being environmentally conscious, and Secretary of the Front Royal/ Warren County Anti-Litter Council, I feel I must comment on the lack of concern for and lack of enforcement of the Do not Litter and Cover Your Load ordinances. The Anti-Litter Council, a few other community organizations and a few individuals have taken on the duty of cleaning up litter from area streets and highways. But due to the high incidence of litter being either thrown out, blowing out from uncovered loads or windblown from other areas, it is a never ending task. We need more people and organizations to step up to the plate and not only help clean up our streets and roads, but also teach the young people of our community by our own actions not to litter and to recycle. So much of what people throw away can find other uses through some form of recycling, such as: sorting out glass, metal, paper, cardboard, etc. at the dumpster sites or giving to charities, Freecycle.com or someone in need. Perhaps some of the people who are given community service could be utilized to help clean up their environment. It might make them think twice about littering and it would truly be a community service. The Front Royal/Warren County Anti-Litter Council sponsors projects for schools and Community organizations to win awards; Clean

Business Awards to businesses for keeping the area around their establishments clean and having trash receptacles and cigarette butt receptacles accessible. We also help distribute trash receptacles, cigarette butt receptacles, doggie waste stations, etc. to organizations or businesses that request them. We can also be found manning a booth at area festivals, manning the dumpsters and/or transfer stations during the annual County Cleanup Day, and various other days throughout the year. While there we hand out cargo nets to people with uncovered loads so they will be in compliance with the Cover Your Load ordinance, and hand out litter and recycling literature as well as giving coloring books, stickers, bracelets, etc. to the children while people unload their trash. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to adopt a street or a portion of a road. Just contact the Town Public Works Department, attention Jimmy Hanagan or call (540) 635-7819 for information on the procedure. Anyone interested in finding out more about our organization will be welcomed at our monthly meeting at Front Royal Government Center in the conference room at 4pm, the fourth Thursday of every month. We welcome new members. Patricia Cullers, Secretary Anti-Litter Council Front Royal/Warren County What are real jail costs? Sir, Did you know Senator Mark Obenshain and Delegate Todd Gilbert have the immediate authority to strip the funding for the RSW jail from Governor McDonnells budget? Call and email them telling them to do so today. The timing is urgent. They have sided with Big Money not their constituents. The era of Shenandoah County Board of Supervisors policy of no transparency is over. We have been lied to concerning the cost of, cost overruns and future expenditures of this jail. The jail project committee meets once a week to submit their departments wish lists. The laundry, kitchen, intake area, offices and God only knows what else is on the list that will be furnished in fine jail authority style at 01 prices. Do you realize the power of your vote? Obenshain has political ambitions beyond Shenandoah County. He wants to be Virginias next Attorney General. He is arrogant enough to think we will forget what he did here while he moves on to a higher state position. We will not forget or forgive. Shenandoah county BOS will tell us the cost is $7 million. When the numbers are calculated (they have been), the true number of overall liability in years to come is $154 million. Do you know what a Jail Authority is? In our case, with three counties involved, three members from each county are appointed. This is a ugly entity. Nine members secluded from the public. Taxpayers and citizens alike have no oversight at all. This is one example of Agenda 1 creeping into our county. The way this authority is designed will only breed fraud and no disclosure of what really goes on behind closed doors. Hopefully, with your input we can stop this funding now, and prevent the inevitable which will be massive property tax increases for seniors and generations to come. Marsha Shruntz Strasburg VA Another RSW protest Dear Editor: I would like to encourage people to send Senator Obenshain and Delegate Gilbert letters and phone calls opposing the funding of the regional jail. When we have a jail sitting empty in Boyce and a wing of another regional jail closed down for lack on inmates in Winchester why on earth do we need to waste the money on the jail here? I want to let Misters Obenshain and Gilbert know that their constituents are watching their actions on this, and will take it into account when both run for higher office. Support the will of the people or lose your seat, we will not forget. ... Oh, and by the way do not tell us its too late to cut the funding (which is in the budget), because it was put back into the budget, after being voted out, when Governor McDonnell usurped the will of the people at the behest of then Delegate Athey last budget cycle. We the people are tired of the talk. Cut the jail funding now. Kim Bishop Strasburg

an initial $.5 million annual Warren split, compared to $1.6 million for Shenandoah, and $774,533 for Rappahannock. He said the estimated annual cost of a local Warren Jail was $3 million plus current jail operational costs. Davenports numbers also showed the revenue impact of a one-cent tax hike in each of the three counties: Warren, 1 cent = $357,566 of revenue; Shenandoah, 1 cent = $375,000 of revenue; Rappahannock, 1 cent = $175,000 of revenue. The tax revenue necessary to meet Warrens annual obligation is between 7 and 8 cents; Shenandoah, from 4 to 5 cents; and Rappahannock, from 4.5 to 5 cents. Bed capacities & rentals Once the 563-inmate capacity facility opens for business, the annual operating expense the Regional Jail Authority will be responsible for is forecast to begin at $9.75 million and climb to $11.63 million by 01. Non-local revenues estimated between $6.7 million and $7.9 million will help cover those expenses. The three member counties are forecast to use 70 of the available inmate bed space, with as many as 93 beds, with double bunking, going to outside jurisdictions on rental arrangements. Local funding splits are based on the number of inmate beds they fill. That split is currently estimated at: Rappahannock 36 inmates (13.3 percent funding share); Shenandoah 99 inmates (36.7 percent funding share) Warren 135 inmates (50 percent funding share). Strategies We told the sheriff after the meeting, only half in jest, that we had A PLAN that with our educational background in sociology it appeared obvious to us how to reduce Warrens annual operational funding share reduce the number of criminals prosecuted and convicted in the county: 1. by reducing the number of victimless crimes on the books; . by fixing the national, regional and local economies so that people arent motivated to steal to meet basic needs such as access to food and shelter (well schedule a later meeting on how to accomplish that one). 3. by developing pro-active educational and economic initiatives to make people on the periphery of society feel they are a welcome and included part of society; 4. develop means of identify-

However, it is not a popular strategy in these strange days of budget calculations, even though that referenced research shows such pro-active social programs are successful in reducing not only the revenues necessary to support criminal justice and law enforcement, but also total governmental expenditures for both the reactive and proactive services aimed at creating a safe, crimefree social environment for all of us.

Summer Camp - NO
All I can say is we have all worked very well with this program together I hope it continues; I hope the committee continues working together. Angels Korner Daycare private-sector provider Rosemary Comstock
County Parks & Rec Summer Camp program developer Robin Richardson tells her side of story as staffer and board Chairman Archie Fox listen. By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Less than a month after calling for a Feb. 1st public hearing to gather public opinion upon which to help make a decision on extending an eight-week parks & recreation summer youth camp into a second year, the Warren County Board of Supervisors reached a majority consensus to kill the program without that public input. Well, the board DID get public input at a Feb. 7th work session from one private daycare provider, who presented written statements of opposition from three other daycare providers to the board. Two other women accompanying Angels Korner Daycare & Learning Center operator Rosemary Comstock remained
Raising the specter of Sarah Palin, Daycare Mama Bear Rosemary Comstock recites her version of how the county has moved to destroy private sector free enterprise with a summer camp. silent during the work session. Comstock has led opposition to the program from the move to reinstate it in the spring of 011. On Feb. 7th she reiterated her stance that the program designed to provide a more active and affordable summer option for younger, school-age children utilized public tax money to unfairly compete with private sector daycare. However, in response to a direct question from a supervisor at an earlier public discussion of the 011 program, one parent who utilized the program and supported continuation of it told the supervisors that private-sector daycare was not a viable option for her family due to higher costs. Despite that aspect of providing a cheaper summer option

Despite instructions given to staff during the Feb. 7th work session to publish notice of cancellation of the Feb. 1st public hearing on the Parks & Rec Summer Camp program, a later decision to go through with the public hearing was made. So while the board of supervisors also reached a consensus to cancel the program WHO KNOWS?!!? Perhaps a large turnout of parents who would like to utilize the program would overcome that decision as well. Public hearings begin at 7:30 p.m., a half hour after the meeting of Feb. 1st begins at the WCGC on Commerce Ave.

Its like Tony [Carter] said, its never ending. No matter what we laid on the table it still wasnt good enough. Parks & Rec Summer Camp Program Director Robin Richardson
Carter later said. What went wrong? For two months leading up to the work session county parks & rec staff were in ongoing discussions with private sector providers to develop additional ways to accommodate their issues. Those accommodations, some implemented last year, included private daycare client and staff use of county facilities like gyms and the public swimming pool at no or reduced costs; inclusion in county camp field trips; higher county costs; and caps on registration. At both the work session and in a subsequent interview, Comstock, who raised visions of the aborted presidential campaign of Sarah Palin by stating she was being the mother bear for all the daycare providers, insisted she was not against the program, only how it was implemented. In fact, Palin, I mean Comstock, said she wanted the county program to reach out to more county children. To her mind that outreach could occur through changes such as splitting the camp into morning and afternoon sessions with a one-hour break that would require the children to leave county supervision at lunch time. While such a change would seem to
Summer Camp - NO
limit users of the county program to families with at least one non-working parent, or those who could make other arrangements for the care of their children for half a day or at least for an hour at lunch time each day, for Comstock it was both a step toward more participation and reduced county competition with services such as hers and apparently the possibility of year-round public subsidization of private sector daycare. Rosemarys baby My whole thing is I want all the children in the community to be able to benefit from parks & rec, and not just 40 children, not just 50 children. I want it around the whole community so that they can take those eight weeks and truly they can take 5 weeks out of the year and get ALL of our kids in this community with different activities that they can do, instead of us [the daycare providers] having to leave our county to go to another county to give that to the children, Comstock said. From the beginning in early 011, parks & rec staff said they were seeking to provide a more physically-active and affordable summer option for parents of young school-age children while school is out of session. A supervisors majority dating to the last board (Fox-Glavis-White) directed parks & rec staff to work with the private sector to develop a mutually acceptable resolution. However Comstock insisted county staff inquiries into her and other private sector daycare summer activities indicated a desire to model the county program after the private sector. Why did they ask me for what I do with my children during the summer time? Why did they ask all the daycares because they want to implement what were doing with our kids, Comstock said. However Parks & Rec Director Dan Lenz disputes that assertion. He said his staff followed board instructions to explore daycare programs, so as to

So thats what I brought to the table and it still wasnt good enough, Robin Richardson said. And then Archies [Fox] question [to Comstock], Well, what do YOU want? And then it was basically she wants us to provide programming for them, but then turn around and says its for the entire community. It was just going around in circles and its been that way for the last two months, Richardson said. We asked Richardson if she felt the county parks & rec summer program

was being blamed for the impact of a down U.S. economy on private sector daycare. Yes, absolutely, yes I do believe so, Richardson said. And [Comstock] made a lot of references to they need to offer more, they need to do this. She made a reference to gymnastics and tumbling we do those programs. We offer all those things in the summer time through the schools we partner with the schools to do basketball, cheerleading, football, volleyball, wrestling and all those programs. In arguing against implementation of the program last spring Comstock pointed to the temporary loss of clients over the life of the eightweek county program due, not to dissatisfaction with her service, but rather the ability to save as much as $40 per child per week by opting into the county program. Included in the parks & rec report provided to the supervisors last October, private providers reported the temporary loss of from one to six clients over the duration of the eight-week county youth camp. Comstocks Angels Korner headed that list with six, followed by Royal Christian Academy (4), Dominion Health & Fitness (), Lil Angels, Meadowlands and Apple
Dumpling with one each. But according to Richardson, it is not only daycare clients looking to save a buck through the summer in tough economic times that will be impacted by the loss of the program. Oh, its going to happen, Richardson said of impacts on non-daycare clients. She (Comstock) referenced a lot about people that were in her program that could afford day care. But there were a lot of people in our program that had the payment plans and were doing what they could to scrape by. And its going to impact them. And a lot of those parents that arent working, its not by choice, so they definitely cant afford daycare. Matter of survival or public subsidies? In a prepared opening statement delivered at the work session, Comstock pointed to the bad economy and resultant business closings everywhere we turn. She pointed to one 30-year daycare provider forced to close their doors, adding, All the daycares and other businesses have been hurt financially due to the economy. Were asking for help from our county to keep our doors open, to keep our employees working. Were
asking for help through parks & rec to find other ways with all of us to reach all the children and not to have an eight-week program thats only available to a handful of children of parents that are working but to create something that could and would reach more families. We asked Comstock, who last May pointed to the potential necessity of having to lay off one or two part or full-time employees during the summer if the county program was implemented, if an eight-week county program impacting between one and six clients could be the decisive factor in a daycare businesss survival. It could, she insisted. Youve got people who actually had to share hours instead of having lay offs, they had to share hours to help each other. It was it affected us with 10 children, which truthfully is a full-time position. So it does affect the community; it does affect the small businesses. Directive After reaching a work session majority consensus to kill the program only Carter appeared supportive of it, the board directed parks & rec staff to proceed with discussion with nonprofit programs on how the county might partner with those groups to add a dimension to their programs this summer. There are two such programs, the Youth Enrichment Program (YEP) and the Warren County School Age Care, Richardson told us. And weve partnered with them before and were just going to sit down with them and try to work out what we can do to help them out, Richardson said of plans in the face of the boards apparent decision to kill the county summer camp program.

I got several requests within the Party asking if wed be willing to run a mass meeting to discuss nominations for the town election, Henderson [told us]. We asked if he could name the source of those requests. Mary Kay Clark and Tom Sayre, he replied.
Town election
Did Mayor Darr smell something rotten nearby as Councilman Sayre spoke at Feb. 13 council meeting? Mary Kay Clark hurries past this reporter into Feb. 13 WC Republican Executive Committee meeting. By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Sometimes youre just left shaking your head in wonder at the extreme state of partisan politics in America these days. And you dont even have to focus on far-away primaries with unpredictable results and the day-today campaign hyperbole, hypocrisies, convenient memory lapses and what not surrounding a presidential race its all happening right here in River City. On February 1, Warren County Republican Committee Secretary Mary Kay Clark launched an attempt to buck long historical tradition and have the committee officially nominate Republican candidates for this springs town election. Consequently a special meeting of the committees executive board to discuss the issue was called and eventually cancelled by Chairman Dave Henderson. It was never my intent to change it [policy on partisan town nominations], only talk about it. But it started to get so serious I decided to end it, Henderson told us of his decision to cancel the special executive committee meeting slated for Feb. 7th at Samuels Public Library. I got several requests within the Party asking if wed be willing to run a mass meeting to discuss nominations for the town election, Henderson said of the original impetus for the special meeting. We asked if he could name the source of those requests. Mary Kay Clark and Tom Sayre, he replied. Neither Clark nor Sayre have responded to repeated phone or direct inquiries about their roles in the local partisan initiative. Our efforts to get a reply from both began on Feb. 9. Hatch Act & the mayor Henderson was one of several Republican Executive Committee members eventually contacted by Front Royal Mayor Tim Darr after he caught wind of the initiative. Darr explained the potential ramification on him personally were the Republicans to proceed with nominations or certification of Party candidates in this town election. At issue for Front Royals incumbent mayor is that were town elections to become politically partisan, he as a federal employee would become ineligible to run in them due to provisions of the Hatch Act. The Hatch Act bars federal employees from running in partisan political elections. Darr has long worked for the Department of Defense in security at the Pentagon. Traditionally, not only in Front Royal, but throughout Virginia town elections are non-partisan. But our understanding is that unless specifically prohibited by municipal charter, unlike school board elections which are non-partisan by state law, there is no legal barrier to bringing partisanship into town races. Front Royal has no such charter prohibition. Rather, it appears the basis for this statewide tradition of unknown origin or duration (County Voter Registrar Carol Tobin told us while she could not say for sure there had never been partisan town elections, she could find no record of them) is common sense that most issues at the

Town election
My comments last night were to let them know I realized just how rotten they were that its just dirty politics. Mayor Tim Darr on Feb. 6 work session comments on partisan maneuvering that could have left him ineligible for May town election
derstand, to invoke partisan politics into the town election. That call came a week prior to his work session comments. My comments last night were to let them know I realized just how rotten they were that its just dirty politics, Darr said of whoever was behind the local maneuvering that would have left him ineligible for this Mays town ballot. Darr said he heard the initiative was being promoted to the Republican Committees executive board to assure newer candidates like Daryl Funk got on the ballot. Darr said while he had no direct knowledge, he was told Mary Kay Clark and Tom Sayre were behind the move that would have eliminated him from the 01 town ballot. In reaction to the information forwarded to him, Darr said he called several Republican members of the executive committee. Those included Dan Murray, Tony Carter, Dave Henderson AND Daryl Funk. Darr said Funk told him he had a copy of the e-mail from Clark regarding the partisan nominations naming him as a prime Republican beneficiary. He said, Ive got it I dont want any part of it. Darr said. Mayor Darr said he received similar reactions from Murray, Carter and Henderson that such a late move to alter the nature of town elections wasnt right. I talked to Tim Darr and I told him its not fair three months before an election to switch horses on how things are done that should be done years a year and a half before an election. Not after someones name is on the ballot that would then have to be removed, Henderson said. I said as chairman I would veto it [regarding this election], Henderson told us. Collateral (Party) damage And while one Republican, Funk, was targeted by Clark as a potential beneficiary of her partisan town initiative, others were cited as potential threats to her view of which Republicans should be allowed to campaign for town office under the Party banner. In her Feb. 1 e-mail to some executive committee members, Clark adds a wary note: 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 those two might want a Caucus also? 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, forever 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. So it appears there are Republicans, even fellow pro-life, Catholic Republicans, to whom Mary Kay Clark is not ready to pass on her imprimatur, or the partys nomination. Shakespeare v. Abbott and Costello But odd perhaps, is that with four seats up for grabs in May the mayor and three council seats, Clark seemed focused on only two: I told [Funk] we need Republicans to run for these two offices, Clark wrote in her Feb. 1 e-mail seeking Republican Executive Committee support to nominate candidates for the May town election. And as Shakespeare, or was it Abbot and Costello, wrote, Theres the rub. In this case the rub is WHO in Ms. Clarks opinion would have been that second partisan endorsement for the May town ballot? We know Daryl Funk is on first, whether he wants to be or not. BUT that second base runner is the unnamed mystery candidate and the rub as it were. The smart money is on old Clark protg Tom Sayre in the role of mayor he has been rehearsing for at Darrs side for over a year. But alas, poor Yorick what will he do now?
Mayor Darr and Councilman Sayre reflect quietly during moment of silence at outset of Feb. 13 council meeting. But what may be surprising is that Clark sent her partisan political initiative out from her Seton Home School e-mail address. According to the commissioner of the revenues office, Seton has a non-profit, educational exemption from paying federal taxes. Our reading of applicable codes is that non profits are generally prohibited from engaging in direct partisan political activity; and risk losing their tax-exempt status by doing so. A sniff of political intrigue At the conclusion of a February 6th Front Royal Town Council work session Mayor Darr made a brief statement about what he called the most difficult week of my political life. Darr appeared to be holding back some intense emotion as he thanked those who had helped him through the unnamed difficulty. As Darr spoke, two seats to his right Councilman Sayre stared forward, shuffling a pen in his hand and making eye contact with no one. Since council was about to adjourn into closed session, we caught up with the mayor later. We asked if rumors wed heard about moves within the Republican Committee to make the coming town election a partisan one had anything to do with his aforementioned difficulties. You pretty much nailed it on the head, the mayor told us. I got a call that I better watch out there was a special meeting being called to put Republicans on the ballot, and I un-

Afghan vet Jesse Breeden presents Melting Pot owner Robert Bachelor with a little token of appreciation. By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report On Feb. 4th Melting Pot owner Robert Bachelor got a surprise gift from a long-time customer a unit flag that had flown with U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Twenty-three-year-old Jesse Breeden, a member of the U.S. Army Reserves since March 009, presented the flag mounted with a dedication to Bachelor and The Melting Pot during a welcome home party hosted by friends and relatives at of all places, The Melting Pot. Bachelor admitted to being taken by surprise by the gesture and appeared to have, for a rare moment, been rendered speechless. I got a little emotional there, Bachelor told us shortly after as we took a closer look at the gift in his office. Thats really something. Breeden, back from a 10-month tour of the Afghan war zone, told us he has been a Melting Pot customer all my life I came here in July when I was back on R and R and Robert sent out a message that it was
The inscription above the Army unit flag that will soon be on display in the Melting Pot. on the house. I thought Id return the gesture and thought it would be a nice idea to return the favor. Breeden said the flag had flown with his Unit 31, a psychological operations company, in eastern Afghanistan. I really cant say any more than that, he told us. Already earmarked for orange pajamas by some readers, we joked we would remain mum on any further details of his deployment but just between you and me, we asked just kidding, we did NOT. Rather we let Breeden return to friends and family celebrating his safe return home. We did ask Bachelor, who is celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Melting Pot, what that kind of gesture from someone who essentially has been a customer and fan of his food all his life, meant to him. Finally composed, Bach pointed to the almost unprecedented duration, under one ownership, of his privately-owned restaurant. You know I learned something from my father, who ran a grocery
store for 50 years in my hometown you provide a consistent and quality product, treat your employees fairly, and you do become a part of that community. But The Melting Pot is not just the Bachelor family, but a large number of long-time devoted employees, Robert said. He shared some stories of past customers and ties that survived even moves out of the area with the help of some shipped, freeze-dried pizza, made to order from memory. Then his gaze wandered back to Breedens unit flag and its very personal inscription, propped up in his office. Were going to have to find a good place to hang that up front, Bachelor said, shaking his head again in appreciation. Meeting people like Jesse, I have a lot of faith in the future that theyll get us on the right track.

Some believe it is intended to target Sharia, or Islamic law. There are very serious issues about how businesses operate if this law is passed, Toscano said. Business wants certainty. They want to know what is the legal environment in which they work, and thats why I think businesses are very troubled about this bill.

Free Seniors On the Go Classes at Loving Arms: We have had a 6 week Art Class program throughout the summer which has been a great success!! The last session began Aug. 9th and theresponse had been heart warming and great fun, says Annette Tait (Art Director). I have enjoyed meeting more residents of Front Royal asI ama transplant from Northern Virginia. We began classes July 5th 2011 in the Great Room at Loving Arms with 4 students. Since then the classes have grown, 10-12 individuals. We hada variety of levels including one participant who has had her work in Juried Art Show!! Our main focus is on graphite (pencil sketches), watercolor, watercolor pencils, pen and ink and mixed media. This new venture at Loving Arms has been a huge success with the original 4 students bringing a friend and spreading the word. We are having a great time with lots of good conversation, laughs, along with producing some impressive art work. Chef Patrick even brought in some goodies for munching mmmm....

835 Green St. Stephens City 540-869-2004
By Zack Budryk Capital News Service RICHMOND Gov. Bob McDonnell, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and other Republican officials rallied in Richmonds Capitol Square on Feb. 7th to call for what they term more school choice for Virginians. They were joined by several hundred students from Richmond-area private schools and other faithbased, school choice supporters. The rally was organized by the Family Foundation of Virginia, a non-profit group that espouses
conservative principles and religious values. The rally was held to support two bills before the General Assembly that would offer tax credits between $5 million and $50 million to corporations for funding private, faith-based education: House Bill 31, sponsored by Delegate Jimmie Massie, R-Henrico. It would give tax credits to corporations for making donations to non-profits that provide private school scholarships for low-income students. Massies bill would cap the total credits at $5 million a year. It is awaiting

Family Foundation, said school choice legislation would help low-income families who want a faith-based education for their children. School choice exists for the wealthy. They can put their kid in the right private school; they can move into the right school system, Cobb said. But for those that cant afford it, the only school is the choice thats given to them by the state. So if that choice isnt a fit for them, for whatever reason, we need to give them options. The Tebow rule Virginias attorney general also used his time at the rally to endorse HB 947, sponsored by Delegate Rob Bell, R-Charlottesville. The bill would allow homeschooled students to participate in interscholastic activities at public schools. The measure is sometimes called the Tim Tebow bill, after the NFL quarterback who, as a home-schooler in Florida, was allowed to play football for a local high school. Thats a bill I hope you will mention to your legislators today, Cuccinelli said. Homeschoolers have always had some tough sledding here. Thats something we should be looking to advance.
nating the scholarships claimed the maximum tax credits allowed. Under the legislation, the scholarships would go to students eligible for free and reduced-price lunches under federal income guidelines. In addition to the Republican governor and attorney general, another speaker at the rally was Melvin Adams, president of a conservative religious non-profit called Renew a Nation. Adams didnt mince words he said school choice is a religious issue. It is the right thing to do because it will give greater opportunities to families who want a
faith-based education for their children something that every child should have access to. We are committed to the idea of offering every child a Christian worldview, Adams said. Lets put the people whose moral responsibility it is to raise children in control of their childrens education, and thats parents, Cuccinelli told the crowd. The closing speaker, Dr. Alberta Wilson, chief executive officer of Faith First, a Philadelphia-based non-profit that provides scholarships to Christian schools, compared the current educational system to the schoolyard rhyme eenie, meenie, minie, moe be-
fore a game of tag. If, by chance, you live in a good school district, then your child could have that quality education, said Wilson. We are here because we want to declare, loud and clear, that we will no longer embrace an educational system that sings eenie, meenie, minie, moe and plays the game of chance with our children. We demand school choice, not school chance. Victoria Cobb, president of the

She said there are processes in place to help and replace poorly performing teachers. It is very easy to get rid of a bad teacher, Ward said. Boitnott agreed that administrators already had the tools and resources to remove a teacher, and shame on them if they didnt do it. Thats a broken administration system. Thats not on the VEA; thats not on teachers. Thats on a system that hasnt been properly implemented.

The Virginia Citizens Defense League has introduced six bills in this years General Assembly session to loosen restrictions on purchasing and carrying guns in the state. The VCDL has declared a neutral stance on eight of the 36 gun-related bills in this years session. - CNS photo by Mechelle Hankerson
By Alex Wiggins Capital News Service RICHMOND Virginians soon may be able to purchase more guns than they can carry, all in one buy for the first time in almost two decades. With the exception of law enforcement officials and some concealedweapon permit holders, a 1993 state law has prohibited the purchase of more than one handgun every 30 days. On Monday, the Senate passed a bill to revoke this law; the House had approved a similar measure last week. Sen. Bill Carrico, the chief patron of Senate Bill 33 and a long-time advocate for the right to bear arms, called the existing law unnecessary and outdated. He said Mondays 1-19 vote was a victory for the Second Amendment.
Carrico, a Republican from Galax in the southwestern tip of Virginia, said that technology negates the need for the states limit on gun purchases and that law-abiding citizens will benefit from such a change. Advanced technologies like instant background checks have made gun restrictions like this counterproductive, said Carrico, a retired state trooper. Over the years, it

is often the case early in a pregnancy, the woman would be subjected to a trans-vaginal probe. House Bill 46 basically puts government inside a womans body, and government has absolutely no business there, said Delegate Charnielle Herring, DAlexandria. These two bills (HB 1 and HB 46) represent an attack on women the likes of which we have never seen in our modern era, telling women what they must do with their bodies and forcing an invasive medical procedure onto a person who is exercising their constitutional right, is the epitome of big government. The House passed HB 46 on a 63-36 vote on Tuesday. By a similar margin, delegates also have passed HB 6, which would prohibit state-funded abortions for low-income women even if the child they are carrying would have totally incapacitating deformities or impairments. Katherine Grennier, a spokesperson for the local chapter of the ACLU, said HB 6 discriminates against impoverished Virginians. It would restrict access for very poor women, resulting in a system where only wealthy women can access the full range of health care services in the face of a devastating pre-natal diagnosis, Grennier said. She said this is absolutely no way to treat a woman who is facing a medical crisis. No woman plans to have an abortion, but if she needs one, every woman deserves the chance to make the best decision for her circumstances.

on issues they call immoral. The bishops were also troubled by the financial responsibility put on Catholic employers, even the exempt ones, to see the birth control coverage is provided at no additional cost to their employees who want it. However, Catholics for Choice President Jon OBrien, citing statistics claiming 98 percent of sexually-active Catholic women have or are using some form of contraception, called the Administrations accommodation to the loud protests of the bishops and conservative-right politicians unfortunate. We are glad to see that the administration did not choose to cave completely to the bishops. But the reality is that this compromise relies on insurance companies doing the right thing, and gives victory number one to the bishops on their religious liberty shopping list, OBrien said. The US bishops will move on to the other items on their list, demanding special treatment in federal contracts, allowing them to opt out of providing reproductive healthcare services and condoms for HIV prevention, forcing compromises in those states that have marriage equality statutes and allowing religious employers to discriminate in hiring practices.

You will be touched by Gullys vivid, yet extremely sad account of her mothers childhood which marked Dees life and, in turn, imposed a dramatic impact on those closest to her. Gully absorbed many life lessons with all of this exposure and yet, recalls, with endearment and satisfaction, a life well lived. Ms. Wells seems to have delighted in sharing this memoir. The contents are witty, enthralling, absorbing and poignant. You will revisit that dazzling era through the eyes of a woman whose memories are candidly descriptive.

Ask Stewart
Dear Stewart, With the recent storms, Ive noticed the roads have been treated with salt and chemicals to make driving safer, but I heard somewhere that this is very bad for trees. What do you think? Wes

but gets washed or blown onto nearby soil and vegetation. Why is this bad for the trees? Well, I can get real technical with all the chemical reaction stuff, but I wasnt too good in that area in school. A simple way of explaining it is to try to remember when you have eaten real salty popcorn at the movie theater. Your lips get all puckered and dry because the salt draws the moisture from your lips. This is exactly what happens to the trees. The high concentration of salt literally draws the water from the root system. Sometimes the symptoms of this will be a scorched look on leaves, or with evergreen trees, browned needles on the side of the tree closest to the road. What can you do to avoid this kind of damage? If the road or sidewalk has been salted, try to avoid piling the snow or ice around the trees root system. Better yet, look for safer alternatives to rock salt, such as calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) or even materials like sand or kitty litter.. If your trees have been subjected to winter salt damage, you can try to leach the salt out of the soil by a very good watering in the early spring months. Please pass these words on to your neighbors! - 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. Please visit our website at www.treesfrontroyal.org.

Dear Wes, You heard correctly! Do you know that in an average winter, more than ten million tons of salt is spread on our streets in the United States? Unfortunately, the salt does not stay on the streets,
