17-year-olds ace elony charges in vandalism spwo victims report cars being hit on drivers side while being driven

By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report

While the notion o competitivevandalism may have seemed like agood idea to relieve teenage angstor boredom at the time, it appearstwo o this communitys youth arending out the hard way poten-

tial restitution o over $0,000 androm one to 10 years o possibleincarceration per incident it isNO.

In an Oct. 17 press release theFront Royal Police announced theconessions and arrests o two

17-year-old juvenile suspects ina string o nearly 70 vandalismsthroughout central and south-sideFront Royal the evening o Oct. 13.Te vandalisms targeted windowso vehicles, including this report-ers, and buildings with marbles

red rom what police say was aslingshot. While the youths wereseen eeing at least one incidenton oot, police say they movedaround town in a vehicle.

Among the buildings hit werethe Wendys ast ood restaurant

on North Commerce Avenue and

the Front Royal Visitors Center onEast Main Street. wo residencesin the Marlow Heights area werealso targeted along with numerous

vehicles in Viscose City and alongCherrydale Avenue, Keroot Drive

and Virginia Avenue, as well as theLake View Subdivision o West-minster Drive.

Te most serious allegations arethat two vehicles were hit whilebeing driven, both on the driversside within inches o those drivers

heads.According to FRPD Chie Rich-

ard Furr, the juveniles ace elonycharges in incidents where oc-cupied buildings or vehicles werered into. Te initial report oshots red into a residence cameat 6:30 PM rom the 100 block oWashington Street, according to

town police.wo victims told this reporter

their cars were hit while they weredriving.

One victim said he was drivingsouthbound on South CommerceAve. near the Hess gas station

about 7 PM when his drivers side

rear window was blown out. Hisinitial reaction was that someone

had red a gun at him. He said hesaw two juveniles running east upa side street by the gas station im-mediately ater the incident. Helater recovered a marble rom theback o his Jeep Cherokee.

My window was part way down.

I my car had been a oot or twourther back it could have hit mein the head, he told us.

and asked i he was taking the in-cident seriously enough. I told her,Yes, I could be at the morgue rightnow or you could be a vegetable

thats pretty serious.Warren County Common-

wealths Attorney Brian Madden

said in the case o occupied build-ings or vehicles being red into,i malice is proven, the charge israised to a Class IV elony with a

potential ne o up to $100,000and a sentence o to 10 years. As

juveniles, that incarceration would

be in a juvenile detention acility at least until the suspects reach theage o 1. Madden observed thatdependent on the nature o theincident those upper punishmentranges generally reect sentences

given to adults.Without malice proven the ring

into occupied structures and ve-hicles are Class VI elonies, as are

vandalism charges with damagesover $1000. Te vandalisms result-ing in less than $1000 in damages

are Class I misdemeanors.Te misdemeanor charges each

carry potential punishments o upto a $,500 ne and 1 months oincarceration. Te Class VI elonycharges carry the same potentialne and rom one to ve years o

incarceration, again in a juvenilecorrectional acility until the ageo 1.

According to the Oct. 17 policepress release Each juvenile acesone count each per incident o van-dalism. As o Oct. 1st the num-

ber o related incident reports hadreached the upper 60s accordingto lead FRPD Investigator JasonRyman. As o that date no new re-ports had been received or severaldays and Ryman said he hoped all

victims had been accounted or.

Ryman told us the two juvenilesuspects who conessed to the in-cidents had no history o previoustrouble with the law Tey werenot on our radar at all, Ryman saido the two youths. He added thatthe parents o both boys had been

totally cooperative with authori-ties.

Fortunately or those parents,according to the CommonwealthsAttorney state law no longer holds

them nancially liable or crimescommitted by their children. Ry-man agreed with my estimate,based in part on my $10 repairbill rom AGE o Middletown orreplacement o a back panel win-

dow or a 000 Jeep Cherokee, thatthe total restitution amount couldend up being somewhere between$0,000 and $30,000. Te juvenileswill become liable or that restitu-tion when they reach their 18thbirthdays.

Conessions

Ater the initial report o theWashington Street incident theFRPD press release stated, Fromthat point, police responded to

numerous similar calls involvingbuildings and vehicles through-out the night. Additional patrolpersonnel as well as criminal de-tectives were called in due to theextent o the situation. Te dam-age was ound to have come rom a

glass marble type o object similarto what is used with a slingshot.

Detectives were able to identiytwo potential suspects throughobservation o several security sys-tems in the aected area, the Oct.17 FRPD press release stated.

According to inormation re-ceived by this paper, one piece oevidence used to ID the suspectswas security video rom a local re-tailer showing the suspects eitherbuying or stealing marbles earlierthat day. Lead Investigator Ryman

declined to comment on the spe-cics o evidence assembled in thecase.

At approximately 1 AM (0100hours) on Oct. 14, a 17-year-old

One targeted car on 300 block of Virginia Avenuewas hit twice. Some victims are asking if there couldhave been a third party involved allowing two teensto re their slingshots from a moving vehicle at the

Under a rock?

Dear Managing Editor,

As a aithul reader o the War-ren County Report rom cover-to-cover, I look orward to theLetters segment. Te letterrom Mr. Jason Hartsell illustratespretty clearly his bias against gov-ernment at all levels and Presi-dent Obama in particular.

One single president or politi-cal party did not create all o theproblems we ace today; and onesingle president or political partywill not solve them, either.

Elected ocials are alwaysconvenient targets o unusual be-lies, but Mr. Hartsells statement,ALL taxation is thet, seems tobe a little over the top.

Tose who express this view,and there are many hundreds othousands o them, are sayingthat government, whether local,state or ederal, provides no use-ul purpose other than to stealmoney rom its citizens.

Apparently Mr. Hartsell resides

in a cave somewhere, withoutelectricity, without potable water,without any means o supportinghimsel (and others who believeas he does) without any meanso transportation, other than his

two eet, without any ormal edu-cation, and without any thanksor all the things that governmentdoes or him and his loved ones.

Te reedoms guaranteed inthe American Declaration o In-dependence and Constitution,or which hundreds o thousandso his ellow Americans gave theultimate sacrice, apply to all ous, including Mr. Hartsell, so hecan retain the right to voice hisopinion without censorship andwithout reprisal. Freedom doesnot simply grow on trees likeruit, waiting or someone to pickit. Freedom is expensive and issomething we all believe in, butsomething that not every citizen

is willing to give up sucienttreasure to pay or.

Disagreement about what con-stitutes sucient treasure is be- yond the scope o this letter andis certainly debatable. axes, at

all levels o government, are whatwe as citizens pay, so that we canenjoy the reedoms that we sodearly cherish.

I Mr. Hartsell truly believesthat all taxation is thet, perhapshe should choose another loca-tion in which to reside, one whereno one pays any taxes. Right now,I cant think o any nation o this

world that ts that dTe closest place

is under a rock.

o Delegates because I believethat my knowledge and experi-ence will best serve the citizens othe 18th district. When I heardthat odd Benson was running, Iwas delighted. Ater he dropped

out, I kept waiting or someonewith the wisdom and experiencewe need in Richmond to enter therace. Tat never happened and atthe urging o many residents othe 18th district o both parties,I decided to run.

I live here because I like it here.I I wanted to live in Fairax, Iwould. I hold traditional Virginia values. I care or the land andpeople. I believe in a quality edu-cation. I believe in sel-reliance. Ibelieve in a hand up, not a handout. I hate waste.

My ather was my greatestteacher. He grew up on the ami-ly dairy arm in Southington, C.Ater WWII, he attended UCO-NN on the GI bill. Later, he wentto Harvard where he receivedhis PHD in Economics and, in1955, I was born. My granda-ther tried many things to makehis arm protable but nothingworked until its nal crop - hous-es. Finding himsel in need oemployment, my ather went towork or the Rand Corporationin Santa Monica, Caliornia. In

1965, my ather joined the John-son Administration and as LBJsBudget Director, he balanced theederal budget, something thatwould not happen or another 30years. It was while we were living

in the Washington area that I rstell in love with rural Virginia. Iwas a member o the Boy Scoutsand we requently camped in andaround the area where I now live.As a scout, I also learned the needor stewardship o the land. I eelblessed that I am able to live hereull time.

I attended Connecticut Collegein New London, Connecticutand while there, I helped oundWCNI-FM, a community biased,non-commercial radio station.At one point, we installed a windturbine on top o our broadcasttower and probably became therst radio station in the countryto be powered by green energy.

In 1981, I went to work or asotware company which wentout o business in 1984 due to therecession and I ound mysel inneed o a job. One o my clientsin Fairax needed support or hissystem so I acquired the rightsto the sotware I had developedand moved to Virginia where westarted a new sotware company.Over the next 5 years, we be-

came one o the largest supplierso Accounts Receivable Manage-ment systems in the world. Wehad clients in North and SouthAmerica, Europe, Asia and Ari-ca. We opened oces in six states

and our countries on three con-tinents. Our debt actoring divi-sion had over $0 billion in man-aged assets. Eventually, my equityinterest was acquired by a venturecapital rm. While I was no lon-ger president, I did remain withthe company or several moreyears until I decided to retire atthe end o 008.

I am involved in the aairs oseveral local organizations. I amcurrently the presidents o Fau-quier Domestic Violence Servicesand Te Center or Arts, Musicand Perormance. I am also activein local and state governments. Ihave requently traveled to Rich-mond to lobby on conservationissues and have involved myselin local issues that are a concernto me. I believe that I have madea dierence.

My goal in this election is tomake a dierence, not to scorepoints. Ive spent the last ewweeks traveling across the dis-trict, and Ive heard many peopleexpress their rustration aboutgovernment. I share their rustra-

tion. Te system in Washingtonis broken, but here in Virginia wedo things dierently. We have atradition o civility. I want to putthe interests o Virginians aheado politics. Public service should

not be about wining political victories, but rather governingresponsibly. We need to come to-gether to solve the real problemsthat challenge us today.

We need to return to localgovernments the power to de-termine what regulations, i any,they need to protect the uture otheir residents. o this end, I willwork to modiy or eliminate theDillon Rule.

I have been a conservationistall o my lie. For years, I havelobbied the General Assembly onconservation issues. I will con-tinue to lead the ght to conserveopen spaces and our rural land-scapes, while promoting eortsto plan or growth. I will protect

I am supporting Victor oryFailmezger to ll the Supervisorseat now held by Glenn White,who has been pushed aside by anunsavory political scheme.

I am, thereore, urging NorthFork District voters to elect In-dependent ory Failmezger asSupervisor on Election Day.

ing ory or the North RiverSupervisor seat on the WarrenCounty Board o Supervisors.

Editor,

As an established residentand businessperson in WarrenCounty, I want to endorse the ol-lowing candidate in the upcom-ing County election. His nameis Victor Failmezger, but mostpeople call him ory. Hes run-ning as an independent or theNorth River Supervisors posi-tion, which is currently held bythe retiring Glenn White.

ory brings to the position abusiness perspective, one thatcan openly debate the pros andcons o an issue. Since he is a lo-cal businessperson in DowntownFront Royal, he is accessible todiscuss his and your views eitherin person or by phone. He is run-ning as an Independent, and doesnot wafe on what political party

he belongs to.ory has built a house rom theground up here in Warren Coun-ty, and also owns business prop-

erty in Front Royal, so like manythat have made improvements,hes been through the permit andlicense processes with both theown and County.

Hes currently on the County

Planning Commission whichrecently has approved the newCounty saety building and theRegional Jail, and brought lead-ership skills to the table in pre-senting his views and working tomake these large projects t intoour comprehensive plan.

From the t ime I was l i t t le, Ilearned real fast I d never be agood criminal. On a chil ly Oc-tober night, when I was aboutsix years old, I was t ick tack-ing with my brother and someof his fr iends.

Thats what you did in theweeks leading up to Hallow-een. But f irst , you neededfield corn. There was a farmclose to us and I imaginethat s where we got i t . I dontremember ever sneaking into

the f ields and borrowing f ieldcorn. I m fairly certain othermembers of my family (i .e. mybrother) took care of that. Any-way, armed with your sack off ield corn, youd wait unt i l af terdark and then prowl throughthe neighborhood. When yousaw lights on in a house, andmaybe even people in their l iv-ing room watching television,youd reach into your sackof corn and let a handful f ly,aiming at the window, hope-fully scaring the pumpkin outof them. At that point, youdrun and hide. And wait . I f you were lucky, the man of thehouse would come f lying out

the front door cussing at you.Other than a good scare, noone got hurt and no windowswere broken. I t was all in fun.

As long as everything wentas planned.

On this part icular night, wewere doing our thing. Only f iveminutes from home, and a fewstreets away, we picked ournext target, threw our corn andtook off into the night. And justas wed hoped, the front doorf lew open and Mr. Grumpy OldMan came out yell ing.

This was not good. Accord-ing to my brother, that s whenthings really took a turn for theworse.

An Oct. 17 press release romthe Warren County Adminis-trators Oce addressed thecompleted audit o the Shenan-doah Farms Volunteer Fire De-partment. Te press release ac-companied the public release othe 0-page nancial investiga-tive report itsel. Tat report, nowavailable on the Warren Countywebsite, contains ndings de-scribed as uncovering probableraudulent transactions, thet,stealing, maleasance and raud

indicia (indicated). However theauditor, Bill Barrett o Richmond,noted that despite indications opossible raud, no conclusionsabout specic criminal activityshould be drawn without urtherinvestigation by law enorcementagencies.

Te audit also contains thetroubling specter o violent re-taliation targeting the propertyo one critic o the Farms re de-partment identied as a citizenand past SF VFD Board Member.Barrett describes concerns o aClarke County police investigatorwho told him that shortly ater

Despite this incident and themultiple audit indications o pos-sible raud no criminal chargeshave yet been led.

Regarding the nancial ndings,Clarke County CommonwealthsAttorney Suzanne Maekall Perkanoted in a Sept. press releasethat the Farms re departmentis entirely staed by non-proes-sional volunteers who might becommitting acts o unintentionalnegligence rather than criminal

raud.Ater review o this matter,

pending accounting investiga-tion three weeks beore it beganin late May. Barrett points outthat typically the target o suchan audit is only notied as closeto the outset o the investigation

as possible to avoid the potentialo the destruction or altering o

Consequently Barrett said dueto his ndings o material Prob-

Police White-Collar Crime Unitas well as a related investigationby the Virginia Division o Chari-table Gaming Inspection Enorce-ment Units related to another au-dit o bingo games conducted bythe Farms re department.

Barrett also recommended thatthe Fire Departments governingBoard o Directors remove non-essential personal access to thebank accounts and accounting re-cords by department personnel.

In her Sept. statement ClarkeCommonwealths Attorney Perkacited the use o as many as 14 pos-sibly shared debit cards, 1 to 14

CountyCounty Attorney Blair Mitchell points out that the intention o the public reaudit is not to imply any guilt or suspicion against any person who hacharged.

audits conclusions have led to anongoing eort across county linesby municipal administrators o-ces to alter the volunteer redepartments nancial and man-agement culture.

We continue to have discussionswith Clarke County Representa-tives to memorize a path orwardon the handling o nances andoperations with the Departmentand hope to have that wrappedup next week (week o Oct. 3).Our goal continues to be to putprocedures in place to restore thepublics condence in SFVFD At this time I will have no ur-ther comments, Warren CountyAdministrator Doug Stanley con-cluded in his statement accom-panying the public release o theaudit.

Impetus

As reported here in late Sep-tember ollowing the release othe Clarke County Common-wealths Attorney statement, atleast part o the impetus or theinvestigation were concerns ex-pressed in April to both the War-

and decision-making processes atSFVFD.

According to county min-utes o that meeting, concerns ex-pressed by Krylser, which he alsopresented to Clarke County o-cials, included unsound account-ing methods and willy-nillyspending o departmental unds,misuse o unds or bingo events,unsound operational methods

Burke catches heat rom downtown busines


On Oct. 6th Front Royalown Manager hosted an in-ormal meeting with downtownbusiness people. Te purposewas to open, or rather re-open adialogue with the town govern-ment on means to promote anddirect both out-o-town touristsand more county residents toFront Royals Historic DowntownBusiness District.

Te meetings, the rst heldin auctioneer om EschelmansMiddle o Main Building at 15

East Main Street, are planned tobe quarterly. But i some o theeedback heard at the inauguralmeeting is accurate, that may not

be enough.Burke ound himsel on the re-

ceiving end o occasionally loudcomplaints that the town hasailed to ollow through on pastpromises to promote its down-town business district. ValleyFinds proprietor Kathy Soranzopointed to what she said was twoyears o delays through one townadministrative change Burke wason the back end o that continuesto cost downtown business po-tential walk-in business Tereis $ million o potential revenuethere, she told Burke o passthrough travelers.

Soranzo said the ormer townadministration headed by Burkespredecessor Michael Graham, aswell as council had agreed to im-

prove promotion o downtownthrough directional signs. How-ever, only one sign on Route 55East/John Marshall Highway hadbeen place. Feedback indicatedthe sign was too small to be eec-tively read by motorists headedto the county and Skyline Drive.

We got a new administrationin March and everyone agreed But now we have missed thespring, summer and all trac,Soranzo said o delays in urtherimplementation o downtownpromotion, including directionalsigns steering visitors to HistoricDowntown Front Royal.

Soranzo said with her EastMain Street lease set to expirewithin the year she was acedwith a decision to renew in a

community that seems to be alltalk and little action in promot-

ing its downtown businesses ver-sus relocating somewhere elsethat actually has a track record oaccomplishment in that regard.

She added that while she hadbeen able to grow her businessannually through online salesand promotion, like many o herellow Main Street Front Royalbusiness people she was still su-ering economically in the three-

However, that was not what

the now restless crowd o about5 local business people wantedto hear.

Why do we need anothersign study? Patricia Failmezgerasked.

When Burke replied thatSoranzo had indicated the needor urther study o promotionalsigns, Soranzo begged to dier Tats not what I said, she toldBurke.

Failmezger said the study wasdone and the eedback was in

All we need is a little moremoney to make sure the signs arebigger [so they can be red by mo-torists], she told Burke.

We dont want to commit[to more signs] and do it wrong

again, Burke countered.Other issues addressed in-

cluded the reluctance o countycommuters to leave their homesater driving to and rom workin distant metro areas; loiteringand littering, trespassing youths;and the negative ambiance ounkempt residential and com-mercial properties near town en-trances.

Burke told his tough crowd thetown was limited by state law onsome cosmetic enorcement is-

sues and FRPD Chie Richard Furrtold the crowd loitering itsel wasnot a crime despite Gazebo areasigns saying it was prohibited.Te downtown loitering prohibi-tion is simply a town rule, rather

than an enorceable legal prohibi-tion, the chie said.

And so it goes as Front Royalponders its commercial and tour-ism uture in an ongoing nationalrecession punctuated by in-creased commercial competitionin the countys 5 North Corri-dor enabled by the extension otown water and sewer to thoseout-o-town businesses.

Space Heaters AreHandy, But ...

Its that time of year again. As tem-peratures cool down and Jack Frostmakes an appearance, homeownersstart looking for efficient ways toheat their homes. Its also when thenumber of fires caused by improperlyused portable electric space heatersbegin to climb.

Yet we cant abandon space heatersentirely they provide decent sup-plemental heat to individual rooms,and in some parts of the U.S. are theonly source of heat during cold snaps.So, careful selection and the obser-vance of safety rules is the best solu-tion to the dilemma of whether or notto use a space heater.

If youre using an older model,check it thoroughly for problems afrayed cord, damaged heating ele-ments, dented or rusted casing and soon. Damaged space heaters should bereplaced as soon as possible.

When purchasing a new electricspace heater, make sure it has theUnderwriters Laboratory (UL) labelattached to it. Avoid heaters that fea-

ture open heating elements (heatingelements protected only by a meshgrille). An estimated 6,000 people ayear are treated in hospital emergencyrooms for burns caused by contact-ing the hot surfaces of room heaters.Heaters that circulate warmed liquidor oil through a closed system are asafer option.

Although most space heaters relyon convection (the circulation of air)to heat an entire room, some rely onradiant heating: infrared radiation

that directly heats up objple that are within the hsight. Radiant heaters arcient choice when youlfor only a few hours, bstay within its line of sig

Set up the space heateraway from furniture, drand other combustible

not place or prop it up put it flat on the floor, awtraffic. Be especially cachildren and pets away fer, and operate only whin the room. When you gthe heater off stay neath the covers instead

If you use an extensithe heater, make suremarked No. 14 or No. Wire Gauge (AWG) on the label attached to cord when purchased.

own approves Leachs Run Parkway cost sVDO revenue sharing application poised or Nov. 1 deadliBy Roger BianchiniWarren County Report

Despite some initial conu-sion over exactly what theywere voting on, the Front Roy-al own Council unanimouslyapproved a both a Memoran-dum o Understanding on de-sign and right-o-way acquisi-tion cost sharing or LeachsRun Parkway and a resolutiono support or a state revenuesharing application. Te votecame at councils Oct. 4

meeting one week ater thecounty approved the samedocuments on the jointly-

unded and EDA overseenproject (see related story).

Te latter resolution allowsthe EDA to proceed with anapplication or as much as $6million in Virginia Depart-ment o ransportation rev-enue sharing or the north-south connector road project.Te FR-WC EDA aced a Nov.1 deadline or applying orthose VDO unds this year.

Te long-planned-or north-south connector road tra- verses both town and county

land between John MarshallHighway (Route 55 East) andHappy Creek Road. When

completed it will ease otencongested midtown trac,partially by providing directaccess to Warren CountyHigh School and Hilda J. Bar-bour Elementary School romthe north and east sides o thetown and county. Te poten-tial o eventual constructiono a third public school, pos-sibly a middle school, in thearea was also discussed prior

to the council votes.However the MOU vote hit

a snag when om Sayre ques-tioned the wording o one por-tion o the MOU. Tat wordinginvolved a town-sought agree-ment to adjust the boundaryo a parcel owned by ValleyHealth or the eventual relo-cation o its main Warren Me-morial Hospital campus intotown. WMH is now on North

the regional health care pro-vider will maintain its currentN. Shenandoah Avenue cam-pus or related uses.

Responding to Sayres ques-

tion, own Manager SteveBurke explained the agendapacket contained the word-ing the town orwarded tothe county two weeks ago orapproval at the county supervisors Oct. 18 meeting. Asreported elsewhere in this is-sue, the supervisors deletedthe town-requested agree-ment to boundary adjust theValley Health property intotown prior to their approval othe MOU. Issues surroundingsuch a boundary adjustmentare discussed in the related

article on the countys Oct. 18vote.

Ater Burke pointed out theboundary adjustment issuecould be urther negotiated asthe parkway project proceeds,

om Conkey suggested coun-cil amend the original motionto approve the MOU so that itmatched what the county hadapproved the previous week.

While councils only mem-ber attorney, Sayre, who raisedthe wording discrepancy in therst place, said he didnt be-lieve it was necessary to makethe change to assure both gov-ernments approved the sameMOU, council did unanimous-ly approve the amendment de-leting the wording agreeing tothe boundary adjustment. De-spite his stance that it did notmatter one way or the other,Sayre made the motion to de-lete the boundary adjustmentwording.

Prior to consideration o theLeachs Run Parkway undingitems Sayre again disclosed hispersonal interest and potentialconict o interest. One o theremaining parcels necessary

to complete the ROW acqui-sition is a ve-acre portion oSayres 45.6-acre home prop-erty o Shenandoah ShoresRoad. Sayre said despite his

personal nancial interest hecould participate and voteairly and objectively.

In making his Oct. 4th dis-closure Sayre noted that theproposed road could increasenoise, trac and congestionnear his home. However dur-ing the MOU discussion Sayreexpressed some concern aboutwording that another ROWparcel owner, Ron LlewellynsHEPAD LLC, had onlyagreed to contribute to con-struction costs or a two-lanesegment o the road. Sayre

said he thought it had beenagreed to make the parkwaya 4-lane road I were goingto do it, lets do it right, Sayrecommented.

Jeremy Camp explained thatwhile HEPAD had proerednancial contributions to thedesign and engineering o a4-lane road, it had only agreed

to und construction o twolanes o the road through itsproperty.

Countytown

County balks at new WMH boundary adjustmBy Roger BianchiniWarren County Report

On Oct. 18 the Warren CountyBoard o Supervisors knocked theproverbial political ball back theown o Front Royals way as thetwo governments jockey over theuture look o the communityscommercial and inrastructuredevelopment, commercial taxrevenue and the availability othe central utilities that will en-able the ongoing development othat commercial tax base.

With a Nov. 1 deadline or ap-plying or as much as $6-millionin matching Virginia Depart-ment o ransportation revenue

or development o Leachs RunParkway looming, the countyapproved a Memorandum oUnderstanding (MOU) with allbut one change suggested by thetown a week earlier.

Tat rejected change is a BIGone a boundary adjustment thatwould move 75 acres earmarkedor the uture site o an expand-ed Warren Memorial Hospital(WMH) campus inside the townlimits. On Oct. 4 the town isscheduled to vote on approval or

rejection o the MOU approvedby the county (see related story).

Tat vote is slated with only veworking days remaining beorethe VDO revenue sharing dead-line or the coming year.

Should the town and countyail to agree on the conditions bywhich they will apply or VDOrevenue sharing or the long-dis-cussed north-south connectorroad along the town-county east-side boundary, the possibility o astate unding split will be set backat least a year.

Te county vote on the LeachsRun Parkway MOU was part oa series o votes on new agree-ments involving joint interests

o the county and town that havebeen batted back and orth in re-cent months. It is also the onlynew agreement with a deadlinelooming that involves applyingor millions o dollars in staterevenue to help deer local inra-structure improvement costs.

Te others involve the airunding ormula on operationsexpenses or the town-countyEconomic Development Au-thority and specication o thetown and county interests in the

McKay properties in the countysnorthside o Route 5. Most

prominent among that latterMOU is the towns sole interest inthe McKay Springs property. Tetown moved on that purchase asa uture source o central waterto add to its utility system as thecounty hesitated over an expen-diture or the same purpose overa decade ago.

Te town and county do notseem at odds on the EDA opera-tional unding ormula being setat 66/34-percent (county-town)or the dynamics o the McKayproperties. Both MOUs havemoved orward with minor dis-cussion though it is likely there

is a certain amount o behind-the-scenes gnashing o teethover the missed opportunity toacquire its own potential centralwater source in the 1990s. McKaySprings have also been called theendless spring due to its seem-ingly endless supply o under-ground spring water.

However the issue o who willbenet rom Valley Healths stat-ed intention o moving its mainlocal hospital campus to theproperty between John Marshall

Highway and Happy Creek Roadcould be sticky one.

Te town is still smarting romthe loss o its 5 North Corridormeals-tax-based PILO ee. De-pending on the state o the econ-omy that lost revenue has beenestimated at current developmentbetween $600,000 and $800,000annually. Several councilmenalso have expressed the opinionthe county has moved slowly tocompensate the town or that lostrevenue. PILO (payment in lieuo taxes) ees were agreed uponin 1998-99 as a means o com-pensating the town governmentor potential lost commercialtax revenue due to its extension

o central water-sewer into thecountys north commercial-in-dustrial corridor.

Supervisors decline unding to Summer Parks progDelay pending urther study o public partnership with private daycar


On Oct. 18, the Warren Coun-ty Board o Supervisors unani-mously declined to approve anyunding or the Summer in theParks Program or youths aged5 to 1 or 13. Denial o inclusiono the program in Parks & Rec-reation Department unding ap-proval or the coming year camedespite rave reviews rom par-ents whose children participatedin the eight-week program thissummer.

Tats the bad news the good

news is unding o the programwas not denied, but rather con-

sideration o it was tabled pend-ing urther discussion with private-sector providers claimingunair competition rom countygovernment.

What appears to be a delay inunding approval, rather thantermination o the program cameater the county board o super-visors again heard rom one day-care operator, as well as threeother people involved in private-sector youth enrichment pro-grams tied to the public schoolsystem. wo parents spoke insupport o the program.

A report on the eight-week

Summer in the Parks Programstressing outdoor activities uti-

lizing county outdoor parks acil-ities presented to the supervisorson Oct. 4, indicated expenses o$3,085 and revenues o $15,080,a loss o $8,005 eaten by allcounty taxpayers. Tat loss wasincurred primarily because thesupervisors cut o enrollmentat 30 this spring ater receivingsimilar complaints about unairpublic competition to private-sector business and other youthprograms.

Several o those express-ing complaints this spring re-newed those complaints onOct. 18. Tey included Angels

Korner daycare operator Rose-mary Comstock, Craig Laird,president o the non-prot FRChildrens Center that overseesschool-age programs in the WCMiddle School and the countyselementary schools, as well asCary Burke and Holly Goode othe middle school-located YouthEnrichment Program. All werecareul not to express outright

opposition to the publicly-sup-ported program that provided amore aordable summer optionor supervised day-time activi-ties to working parents. Howeverall o those requesting a denial oapproval o unding or the pro-gram at this time made it clearthey want a larger role in deter-mining the extent o the programin any uture scenario.

Te impetus o the countysummer parks program cov-ers the bulk o the summer pe-riod when public school is outo session and working parentsare aced with how to have their

younger, school-aged childrensupervised during the day.

Te board decision to delayunding approval means thatthe summer parks programwill not be listed in the upcom-ing all brochure on parks & recprograms available in the com-ing year. While it was pointedout during the board discussionthat does not mean a resolution

wont be reached tthe program to be lproved prices come& Rec Program DiRichardson pointedsion to remove the punding approval nher only six weeksthe program and rcants or the comithe spring brochureApril.
