By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
Despite some misgivings expressedby one citizen (and probably elt by at least a ew county dog owners inrecent weeks) at the public hearingprior to its vote, the Warren County Board o Supervisors unanimously approved amendments to the county code concerning the classication o and processing ees or the classica-tion o “Dangerous D ogs.”
Te changes include a court de-termination that a dog is dangerousbased on its actions; that restitution
be paid to any person or pet ownerwho was or whose pet was harmedby a dog deemed dangerous by thecourt; and that certain ees be paid tokeep registration o dangerous dogscurrent annually. Tose ees are $150or an initial certicate rom AnimalControl or a dog deemed dangerousand an annual $85 ee to the county treasurer included updates on thedangerous dog’s status and location.Te initial $150 ee must be acquiredwithin 45 days o the court determi-nation o the dangerous dog statusand the annual $85 ee must be paidby Jan. 31 o each year.
In questioning the wisdom o thechanges, Herb Dunkel asked thecounty board i they might not besetting the groundwork or “one per-son in a neighborhood who doesn’tlike dogs to create a hardship orowners?”
Dunkel preaced his next commenton potential economic hardships ordog owners, “Excuse my French, butthe economy sucks – I don’t carewhat these clowns have planned orater November,” Dunkel said o themajor party candidates or president(right on, Herb!). “I consider my doga part o the amily and I don’t think
this is legally or morally correct.”In preacing her motion to ap-
prove the changes to county codes,South River Supervisor Linda Gla-
vis asked Assistant County Attorney Dan Whitten to respond to some o Dunkel’s concerns.
Whitten said the new requiremento a court determination that a dogts the criteria the county nds dan-gerous, essentially attacking personsor other animals, should prevent

ALONG THESE LINES
Presidential NeighborsBy Nick Tomas
Imagine you could pluck a U.S. president rom thepages o history and install him as your next-doorneighbor. Who would you choose?
A popular historical gure like George Washing-ton might seem an obvious choice, but you wouldn’twant George as a neighbor. He would sneak onto your property under the cover o darkness and chopdown all your ruit trees while you slept. Oh sure, inthe morning, he would knock on your door, guilt-ridden, seeking orgiveness. But that would be littleconsolation come springtime with no cherry pies totake to the church bake sale.
And don’t think Tomas Jeerson would make acool neighbor, either. Sure, according to Wikipedia,he “spoke ve languages and was deeply interestedin science, invention, architecture, religion and phi-losophy.” But who wants a smart-aleck living nextdoor?
As the only president to never marry, James Bu-chanan would probably hold disruptive bachelorparties every weekend. He might scare the children,too, since he suered rom an odd condition calledwryneck, resulting in his head always leaning to thelet. Explain to the kids this is normal, or a Demo-crat.
You wouldn’t want Richard Nixon living next dooreither. According to most biographies, he was nar-
cissistic, secretive, and suspicious – not endearingqualities in a neighbor. With tricky Dick on the otherside o the ence, you’d end up a neurotic wreck: dur-ing backyard cookouts, you’d continually be check-ing the coleslaw or “bugs.”
However, not all presidents would make badneighbors.
Abraham Lincoln would be a great practical as-set to any community. Beore he entered politics,he worked on the amily arm wielding an axe withgreat skill to build rail ences. So you could count onAbe to help with the rewood in December. Never-theless, i he invited you to accompany him to thetheater one night, skip it.
Oten unairly portrayed as a boozer, UlyssesS. Grant was a decent man o good character andwould make a ne neighbor. Unortunately, he wasa poor judge o people when it came to politicalappointments – his administration was one o themost corrupt due to the scoundrels he unwittingly selected. So as a neighbor, i he ever recommended aplumber, go to the Yellow Pages instead.
Another good neighbor would be George H.W.Bush. A kind man, he and Barbara would always bewilling to lend a neighborly cup o sugar; but i youever ran out o broccoli, don’t expect George to re-turn the avor.
George W. Bush would make a good neighbor,too. He would be personable, easy-going, and prob-ably a lot o un. I could also see George Jr., as theneighborhood practical joker, ringing door bells lateat night, then running away claiming, “Cheney didit!”
As possibility the coolest president in recent his-
tory, Bill Clinton would be a hoot oBut or those o you with 0-year-olknow what you’re thinking: “No waynext door!” Don’t worry, he’s no longe young women, or Big Macs. Besides, have invisible encing around the ppermanent electric collar attached to

Te Washington Nationals, ater win-ning 100 games and having the best re-cord in baseball have been vanquishedby the St. Louis Cardinals in ve gamesin the opening round o Major LeagueBaseball’s maddening postseason. It’sdeeply embittering, not least o all be-cause it didn’t have to happen.
In our local DC newspapers, there’salways ample evidence o the arroganceo power backed by a compliant media.Te sports section is hardly immuneto this dynamic o the Beltway Bubble.When the Washington Nationals madethe unprecedented and now clearly unconscionable decision to sit theirace Stephen Strasburg or the playos,there were howls o protest and deri-sion: but almost all o them were rom
outside the DC, Maryland, and North-ern Virginia buer zone.
Inside the Beltway, the move waslauded as a master stroke.
eam general manager Mike Rizzo justied the shutdown by saying thatthey were “saving” Strasburg becausehis All-Star arm had reached its inninglimit. Ater all argued Rizzo, the teamwould need Strasburg in top orm orthe playo games in the uture. As Riz-zo said, in a quote that enraged oppos-ing General Managers and reverberat-ed with anabolic hubris, “We’ll be backand doing this a couple more times.”
Imagine this being done in any otherbaseball town. In Boston, i the Red Soxhad tried to shut down Curt Schilling
in 004, there would have been civil
disobedience in ront o Fenway Park.But inside DC, great columnists like
the Washington Post’s sage TomasBoswell had nothing but aggressivecontempt or those who objected to theshutdown. As the great baseball poetwrote on September , in now very unortunate prose, “So all o the pun-dits who say the Nats can’t go to theSeries or even win it, just because they won’t have Strasburg, can kiss my presspass.”
o be clear, I had no problem withhaving a strict inning count or Stras-burg and saeguarding his health. Butwhy not sit him, as uture hall o amepitcher John Smoltz suggested, in July or August? Why not save him or whenthe team would need him most? Tecounter-argument that “you can’t shut
down a pitcher and re-start him again”is more “baseball lore” than it is science.[Proo o that was seen in the Cardinalsown old ace, the 38-year-old Chris Car-penter, shut down or much o the yearwho returned to ummox the Nats ingame three.]
I have no problem with caring abouthis health. I do have a problem with theNats tanking this season out o arro-gance and the media whipping a new,unsteady, colt-like baseball an baseinto going along with the ride.
Te baseball post-season can be anunpredictable, mind-bending experi-ence where, as the Nationals ound out,having the opposition down to its lastout or even last strike doesn’t mean a
thing. It’s a time when leaving a team– especially a veteran, resourceul teamlike the Cardinals - even a pinhole o oxygen can lead to a cascade o horror.Te only truism in post-season baseballis that an ace pitcher, like some kind o Gandalan wizard, can conquer all thedark magic the postseason can conjure.We saw this in Detroit series where de-ending igers Cy Young winner JustinVerlander shut out the pixie-dustedOakland Athletics in their decisiveGame 5. It happened in New York,where the great CC Sabathia broke thewill and the bats o the airy-tale Balti-more Orioles in their Game 5.
Stephen Strasburg is DC’s Verlander,DC’s Sabathia. His moment was Game5. Mike Rizzo took that away rom thisan base. He took it away rom a city that had poured $1billion in publicmoney into Nationals Park. He tookit away rom a team that showed all
season that this could year.
Rizzo, Boswell, and ended this decision scourage and the sense that they were dead wlegacy o the Strasburgshutting down an unorul season, leaving a leworse than chewing onarrogance o managemquestioning local medievery time.

original art works and hand-crateditems, making the donations espe-cially exceptional. A custom-builtsoa table, the top made rom exoticArican Moabi hard wood, with eb-onized New Zealand pine legs andrame by Dr. Furadoon Irani was oneo the more valuable donations.

According to Chie Norman Shi-ett, the Front Royal Police De-partment has recently receivednumerous calls rom parents aboutsuspicious incidents involving theirchildren. An incident occurred on10/4/01, which involved a whitemale asking a emale juvenile i shewanted a ride. Te emale declinedthe oer and proceeded to her des-tination. Te subject was describedas a white male, short brown hair, agoatee, and between 30-40 years o age. Te subject was driving a whiteNissan car with ront end damage tothe passenger side headlight area.Te second incident reported to thedepartment was on 10/6/01 andoccurred in the area o Bel Air Av-enue. A white male in a blue oyota4 Runner drove up to emale ju-
veniles and made unsavory remarksto them as they were walking downthe street. Te juveniles ed downthe street and the vehicle drove o.More recently, there were two inci-dents involving a suspect who hasbeen identied and not related to theother previous incidents. Tese inci-dents are classied as suspicious, butno specic criminal violations havebeen identied.
Chie Shiett says that there hasbeen an abundance o rumors andspeculation about these incidents intown. Much o the inormation onthe internet, Facebook in particu-lar, has not been veried or deemedactual. Vehicle and suspect descrip-tions have changed considerably since the rst incident occurred inearly October. Front Royal policecontinue to check out each lead andtip called in since these incidents be-gan.
Parents are encouraged to openup a dialog between themselves andtheir children about dangers that may be encountered in their community.Tis is a great opportunity or par-ents to talk to their children aboutremaining alert and being awareo their surroundings. Chie Shi-ett recommends that parents talkto their children about what stepsto take i they are encountered by someone that they don’t know. Par-ents should explain to their children
to never get into a vehicle with any-one without rst obtaining permis-sion rom a parent. Children should
be told to stay away rom anyone onoot or in a vehicle that is ollowingthem. Also, children should not gonear a vehicle to talk with unknown vehicle occupants. Tere are ampleresources online, at schools, and atthe library that discuss saety pre-cautions or parents and their chil-dren.
No police department can unctioneectively without the assistance o responsible citizens. Please do nothesitate to call the Front Royal PoliceDepartment at (540) 635-111 or thelaw enorcement agency in your ju-risdiction i you see something sus-picious or out o place. o help law enorcement, a detailed statement o events must be relayed to the depart-ment. Tere have been calls receivedthat were vague in content, such asa suspicious blue SUV seen in anarea. Obtaining the make and modelo the vehicle, tag number, numbero doors, number o occupants, andthe actual activity observed is ben-ecial. Tis inormation is neededto urther assist our investigationand more quickly identiy the personinvolved and determine whether theindividual is up to no good or per-haps just someone driving down theroad.

Disguised as little goblins, ghostsor ghouls, kids will soon be prowlingthe streets in their annual Halloweenquest to extort candy rom benevo-lent neighbors. But or some amily members, the spooky estivities may be downright dangerous.
Whereas a candy overdose may induce the occasional belly ache inkids or send some into brie ts o hyper-sugar overdrive, sweet treats
can lead to more serious problemsor pets. Te greatest danger comesrom chocolate which contains theo-bromine, a chemical that is especially toxic to dogs.
Oddly enough, theobromine con-tains no bromine (nor, or that mat-ter, any theo). It derives its name romTeobroma meaning, more or less,‘ood o the gods’ – quite appropriateor anything to do with the heavenly conectionary.
Other dangers or dogs include
raisins which can aect their kid-ney unction. Special vigilance isalso needed around impatient pup-pies that might be tempted to sneakwrappedHalloween treats on the sly. In addi-tion to the chocolate risk, tinoil can-dy wrappers can lodge in a puppy’sthroat or lead to bowel obstructions.
Halloween ood hazards are less o a concern or cats, since they don’tusually have a sweet tooth (they can’ttaste sweetness). But they still acedangers this time o year.
When it comes to cats and Hallow-een, no one is more amiliar with thenocturnal October ritual than actress
Cassandra Peterson, better knownto millions as Elvira, Mistress o theDark, who passed on some Hallow-een advice when I spoke with her awhile back.
Sporting an oversized black wig,a low and behold orm-tting blackdress, and enough makeup to give theAvon lady a hernia, Cassandra hasbeen playing the campy Elvira char-
acter since 1981. She rst pouredhersel into the amous tightttingattire when hired to host late-nighthorror movies or a Los Angeles tele-
vision station.Cassandra has used her popularity
and high public prole to support anumber o causes, including animalwelare. She starred in a pro-vegetar-ianism commercial proclaiming that‘dead things should be buried, noteaten’ and has narrated a radio publicservice announcement asking peopleto keep their cats saely indoors atHalloween.
Tough her witty, wisecracking hu-mor is a treat or adults, Cassandra
nds nothing unny about tricks thatsome people play on cats, especially black cats which are traditionally as-sociated with the darker side o Hal-loween.
“Tere’s always a ew pranksterswho may tease, injure, steal, or evenkill pets during Halloween,” shewarned. “Many animal shelters areaware o increased thets o black cats

Te ocial Grand Opening o the new Warren County PublicSaety Building was cemented witha ribbon cutting on Oct. 3. TeWarren County Sheri’s Oceand Fire & Rescue Departmentsessentially completed the move o their administrative oces into thenew digs at 00 Skyline Vista Drive,
overlooking Skyline High Schooland Massanutten Mountain, onJuly 31.
In acknowledging his departmentand re & rescue’s rst 11 weeks onsite, Sheri Danny McEathron not-ed that “by my calendar it was 5months rom yesterday we held thegroundbreaking.” Tat the sheri ’scalendar was correct was later veri-ed by Moseley Architects ProjectManager ony Bell.
Te sheri pointed to recentcounty capital improvement pro-grams rom the two high schools,skatepark, this acility among oth-ers, saying ocials rom surround-ing counties “wonder how we do it.– It’s not just money, it’s workingtogether.”
County Administrator DougStanley commented on the lengthy construction process, saying,“Sheri McEathron and Chie Ma-bie were very patient – well, Chie Mabie was patient,” drawing laugh-ter.
“I want you to know I’m a very patient man,” McEathron later re-torted, drawing even more laugh-ter, beore concluding more seri-ously o the nal product, “Tis arexceeds what we expected.”
Je Hayes was acknowledgedrom all sides or his oversight asClerk o the Works and County Board Chairman Archie Fox tippedhis hat to the county building com-mittee and Moseley or ongoingoversight “to make sure we gotwhat we paid or.”
Former Mayor Jim Eastham was
acknowledged by Cistrator Stanley. “Jito build a house herthank you, thank youbuild here instead –

Ten county ofcials with sharp cutting tools - good
thing the event was at The Public Safety Buildingwith plenty of emergency service personnel, includ-
ing EMTs, nearby.
issue o $7.5 million was used tocomplete nancing. A signicantportion o an estimated $7-millionso-called “windall” rom the rstJune tax payments ater the county adopted twice-a-year tax billingpushed by late Commissioner o the Revenue John Smedley wasearmarked to the project, to reducethe necessary borrowing to pay orthe project. Te county also had setaside $981,000 or the project priorto its nal 010 approval.
While the county-contractor re-lationship was oten strained dueto issues with adhering to designstandards both outside and inside
the building, all involved appearrelieved that despite delays andredoes on some work, the projectis nally completed – and now “o-cially” open with the Oct. 3 rib-
bon cutting.Happy, happy, happy
Rather than make Sheri McEa-thron and Chie Mabie rehash pre-
vious comments about the state-o-the-art and spacious new digs, we’llsimply revisit what they told us
during our initial tour o the acility on Aug. 1.
Sheri McEathron said the oldJackson Street oce had a total o about 7,00 square eet. Includingthe 911 Communications Center,
the sheri estimated around 38,000s.. or his department now.
“Obviously we’re very, very
pleased with what we’ve been pro- vided,” the sheri said o the new acility. “I want to thank the boardo supervisors and county admin-istrator, but most importantly thecitizens o Warren County. We
don’t lose sight o the act it is thecitizens and taxpayers o the coun-ty that are providing this or us .”
“You know I’m hapWe’ve been workingeet, now we’ve got eet,” Mabie said. “Wwhat we were in; thrworking in the space

Malcolm was sure we would leadthis section with the awully good, i slightly conusing, news o Domin-ion Power construction contractorZachry’s commitment to a signi-cant contribution to this year’s Unit-ed Way Fund drive. HOWEVER,when own Manager Steve Burkeannounced during his Oct. re-port to council that Recyc Systemshad withdrawn three, controversialriverside properties rom its applica-tion with the state DEQ to dispose o Class B sludge as armland ertilizer,Zachry and Mal had to take a stepback (sorry guys).
It seems the comments rom sur-
rounding landowners that 100-yearoodplain designations were grossly underestimating the potential o, notonly sludge clearing rains, but ood-ing less than a mile up river rom aown o Front Royal municipal wa-ter system intake valve, did not allon dea ears at an Oct. 9 public inomeeting at Skyline High School.
Tank you applicant; thank youDEQ; thank you landowner; andthank you neighboring landownersor speaking up about the reality o the situation!!!
All us “townies” really do livedownstream rom that one.
But about that smell ...
United (& giving) we stand
At the end o a 0-minute update
on the new Dominion Power plantconstruction project in the county (on schedule, no problems that can-not be overcome), director o com-bustion turbine projects, A. MichaelWood, received unusual mid-speechapplause rom a Rotary Club o Front Royal audience Oct. 19 whenhe pointed to a $80,000 donation toUnited Way on his power point pre-sentation.
We later talked with Beth Waller,then Lee Smith Osina, executivedirector o the Front Royal-WarrenCounty United Way, which, it turnsout, is in the midst o its 013 und-raising drive.
Despite the seemingly gaudy num-ber, don’t quit giving, olks! Youknow what they say about a “bird inthe hand.”
Te money hasn’t arrived yetand or the local United Way isn’tquite what Wood projected. First,it was explained that hal the to-tal comes directly rom Zachary Corporation employees who col-lected between them some $140,000which Zachary, the contracting rmor Dominion Power, agreed to match.Ten, explained Osina, 5 percent o the employee contribution (about$35,000) is earmarked or an inter-nal CARE und administered by a
Zachary employees’ committee andis or other charitable projects. Also(stay with us on this), the remainingamount, about $45,000 (all numbersrounded) doesn’t all go to the localUnited Way since many employeesdirected their donations elsewhereto separate non-prots, albeit mem-bers o United Way, though perhapsout o this area.
For urther and more specic in-ormation, Osina directed us - urgedus - to Sam ijerina o WarrenCounty Energy projects. Our calls tohis cell and oce numbers were notreturned by press time.
When will United Way receivewhatever is let o the gross amount?
Not known until perhaps Samcalls this newspaper. Meanwhile,Waller, who has been the highly suc-cessul and well-known volunteerundraiser chairperson or the localUnited Way, reerred us to Osina orcomment. Te executive director ex-pressed gratitude to the generousZachary employees and the simi-larly generous Zachary Corporation,but worried that Wood’s unantici-pated announcement at the Rotary Club lunch would detract rom thecurrent campaign.
As we remarked earlier, and asOsina admitted, this “windall” or

Yard sale limits
With only Daryl Funk voting no(Gene ewalt was absent), the FrontRoyal own Council voted 4-1 onOct. to amend its code on yard
sales. Te two signicant changesare that apartment buildings or du-plexes with multiple units will now only be allowed to have a total o six yard sales per year. Previously,the six-yard sale limit was appliedto “individual residences”. Also, a $5license tax will have to be paid per yard sale AFER the rst two in any given calendar year. Your rst twosales o the year are on “the house”.In opposing the change, Funk saidhe elt it was too restrictive on a sig-
nicant portion o the town’s rent-ers. (I guess so, particularly i youlive in an apartment with more thansix units, HECK, you might not evenget to have one sale i your building’sneighbors beat you to the punch.)

CouLocal Morgan Ford Bridge vote as close as the presidential election!
By Malcolm Barr Sr.Warren County Report
An inormal Warren County Report survey o residents livingclosest to the Morgan Ford bridgeswung back and orth much like theRomney-Obama election campaignstatistics. Our survey conducted theearly part o this week recorded a 16-13 score against VDO replacing thespan.
Te vote doesn’t count, o course,but it allowed residents on bothsides to let o some steam beore the
Board o Supervisors meeting in thegovernment center Nov. 7 at 7 p.m.and the VDO-sponsored publicinormation meeting in the Com-merce Avenue re hall Nov. 14 (4-7p.m.). Supervisor Richard raczykhas invited VDO - short on spe-cics on its website - to explain theproject in detail to the board.
In act, it was our conclusion thatmany participants in our survey wereas short on accurate inormationas we were in conducting it. It was,again, much like the Obama-Romney debates where conicting versions o
reality were oered.Several respondents elt resigned
to seeing a new bridge, amongthem Maurice Bowen, FairgroundRoad, who voted in avor o the pro-posed replacement “because they’vealready decided, so whatever I say, it’sa done deal.” Fortunately, Bowen wasthe only one to turn up in my drive-way and voice his opinion!
Tis article will attempt to airly provide a soapbox or those “or”the bridge replacement and those“against”.
Meanwhile, a recent UK visitor to
Front Royal who spotted and inquiredabout the newly erected VDO signsat the bridge approaches wonderedaloud about the ecacy o Ameri-can engineering. He noted VDO’sreerence to the 87-year-old “low water” bridge, and the act that thegovernment agency acknowledges alie span or a modern bridge at 50-75
years. He talked o the SwarkestoneRiver Bridge near his home built by the Romans in the 13th Century.
Swarkstone Bridge was destroyedby oods 500 years later, was repairedand widened (1799-1808); and againrebuilt in 189. o this day, it pro-
vides a major (two-way) connectorbetween two counties. As with the
Morgan Ford bridge, it is consid-ered “undersized or modern tracand is scarcely two-lane or cars atseveral points.” However, its originaloundations remain and the bridge isprotected as an historic landmark.
Several o our residents re com-mended leaving the Morgan FordBridge “as is” but repaving and, i
necessary, strengthenpinnings. (ed note: Vpair o a permanent nmore costly than a neimpractical. Te brid

Said George L. Ohrstrom II, whoowns property upstream on Mor-gan’s Ford Road: “()he bridge is
a historical icon ... I think the ‘gain’rom replacing it is ar less than theloss o (the ‘low water’) bridge ... tothe historical resources o WarrenCounty.”
Bill Long o Rockland Road, reand ambulance technician: “I’m or anew bridge. I use it daily; its weightrating o 10 tons limits the 30-tonre trucks ... rom using it. Te cur-
rent bridge is really alling apart ...we can drive our six-ton ambulancesover it, but it greatly limits our reresponse.”

To“We consider this an enhancement to travel and the public … We need to see what you want – we haven’tseen that yet.” – VDO Administrator Edwin Carter
By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
wo Virginia Department o ransportation ocials eldedquestions and dodged potshots ungtheir way at an Oct. 15 Front Royalown Council Work Session. At is-sue or a current council majority isa portion o the South Fork Bridgereplacement plan that would situatea park and ride at the southeasterncorner o a new bridge on land wherethe win Rivers Motel was recently demolished.
“I don’t want a park and ride onland that is commercially viable andin the town limits,” Bret Hrbek toldVDO.
Vice-Mayor Shae Parker, who livesin the nearby neighborhood east o North Shenandoah Avenue betweenthe Shenandoah River and VFW landand North Royal Avenue’s turn into14th Street at the old North RoyalAvenue extended, questioned the
advisability o adding a projected 60 vehicles to the trac pattern there.
“Making a let turn south ontoShenandoah Avenue is almost im-possible now. And i you add 60 ve-hicles they are going to have to makethat turn or go through the neigh-borhood to the intersection with14th Street to get out,” Parker said o another intersection with a dicultlet turn.
Pointing to the town’s eorts to
beautiy its entranceways, HollisTarpe said, “A park and ride is notideal to achieve that, which is why Iam adamantly opposed to it there oranywhere in town.”
Gene ewalt, a ormer town pub-lic works director and c ivil engineer,pointed to the undesirability o notonly a park and ride, but a reten-tion pond planned or the VDO-controlled property. “I’m looking atthat thing and it’s going to be 1 to15 eet deep – that bothers me morethan anything else. It will look likethe Dickens! Tere’s got to be a bet-ter location than a corridor cominginto town,” ewalt said.
“Why not give it (the property) tous and let us take care o it?” Tarpe
suggested o what to do with theproperty, later adding, “We wantountains, picnic tables.”
“We’d be inclined to hold on to itor right o way,” VDO AssistantResidency Administrator Ed Carterreplied.
VDO District Location and De-sign Engineer Matt Dana noted thatthe trac cited by Parker would benon-peak hour trac.
Tat comment drew a collective“Harrumph” rom council, withMayor im Darr asserting that theexisting park and rides in the county contradicted that assertion.
Carter replied that the existingpark and rides on Route 340/5North, across the bridges and justpast the I-66 Interchange, and onDismal Hollow Road near John Mar-shall Highway and the I-66 LindenInterchange, have been at capacity or several years leading to overow
parking into nearby vate properties, incluPlaza prior to a recenparking posting and o cars out o that shlot on the town south

ing town stickers. He also noted thatwith VDO now owning the righto way where the new lot is planned,costs would be cheaper since no landacquisition would be required.
“Have you done a trac study?” anincreasingly agitated Parker asked.
“Yes,” Carter replied.“We just don’t want it there,”
Hrbek chimed in, adding a preer-ence or green space, and i the pondwas necessary there or logisticalreasons, Hrbek suggested hiding it
in a ar corner.Te VDO ocials pointed out
the park and ride has been a part o the bridge replacement plan or overtwo years and seemed surprised atthe sudden surge o increasingly hostile opposition rom council.
“You brought in a radical bridgedesign … so there was no ocus on
the park and ride,” Parker counter-punched.
“Gene and I and Daryl are new (elected or re-elected this spring)and this is our rst crack at it. I thetown was silent then, it is not silent

called the early discussion and toldCarter and Dana on Oct. 15, 010,“When this came about I raised holy hell,” adding the VDO attitudeat the time appeared to be “It’s ourbridge, we’ll do what we want to.”
om Sayre said he rememberedVDO public inormational meet-ings on the project – “It was years

“Why didn’t you say somethingthen?” Tarpe prodded his ellow councilman.
Risky business?
“It’s not built yet; it won’t cost

But VDO’s Carter replied thatthe added cost o redesign and po-tential relocation at this point in the
process could threaten the ederalunding stream crucial to the proj-ect. – “I’m not saying we won’t get

Town“I hope we’re not going to be too restrictive, so when it is 100 detwo girls are out selling lemonade they’re in violation.” – Gene ew
By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
It was back to the drawing boardor town planning sta ater an Oct.15 Front Royal own Council WorkSession discussion about changes totown codes regarding outdoor com-mercial signs and displays.
At issue or some councilmen iswhether changes designed to providea standard that is up to date and ingeneral more business riendly, may
still in some cases provide an unduehindrance. Sta admitted as much inits preace to the proposed changes,stating, “While the proposed chang-
es are generally less restrictive thanthe current code language, some in-dividuals and/or businesses may beimpacted by the changes.”
Despite some misgivings, thereappeared to be a eeling things weremoving in the right direction.
“I think we have a pretty good drathere,” Hollis Tarpe said as the con-
versation began on updating a codelast adopted on April 10, 1978.
Still, ater reviewing the dratTarpe worried that as now drated
the new code would prevent re-wood and live plant displays as now allowed.
However, Planning Director Jer-
emy Camp pointed out that plantand related landscaping materialswere among the exemptions to new screening rom public view require-ments.
Other exemptions rom screen-ing requirements were: automobiles;power-driven garden and arm equip-ment; pre-manuactured buildings;
vending machines; ea markets andseasonal and other temporary activi-ties like peddlers and licensed mer-chants with proper permitting, yardsales and lemonade stands o the sortkids in small towns have been help-ing residents beat the heat wi th since,well – orever, more or less.
But i some concerns were raisedabout too restrictive or potentially
too restrictive aspects, there was alsoconcern expressed that some prob-lem areas had yet to be closed to o-enders. Among those were how longdisconnected trailers or dumpstersat locations doing home or businessrenovation or remodeling might belet in place; and under what circum-stance tires could be let outside.
“I think when complaints were
made that got this rolling the mean-ing was to target junk, things likeused tires that might catch re,”Tarpe observed.
Planning sta noted that business-es selling used tires would be exemptrom new restrictions.
“My concern is, are we going toenorce them (the new codes). Tereare lots o ordinances on the booksthat are not enorced unless someoneis singled out by a complaint,” Geneewalt said.
“We can’t single anyone out – thisxes that. But my concern is we could
shut everybody dowblatant oenders] aretargeted,” Vice-Mayosaid.
“I hope we’re not grestrictive, so when itand two girls are outade they’re in violatioed. He was assured lewere exempt.Council decided to harene the changes andback to another workbeing sent to public

Town“I will tell you that once we go down this road, orever ater, we will have Republicans run or own Cwill need to be very intelligent and insightul in the uture. We cannot do worse than what we have.” – Min Feb. 1 e-mail pushing partisan town elections
By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
During an Oct. 15 work sessionthe plot continued to thicken overthe potential o breaking a century or more o political – or should wesay non-political – tradition thatcould move the own o Front Royaltoward partisan municipal elections.A move by any local political com-mittee to make nominations in u-ture town elections would eliminatethe eligibility o incumbent Mayorim Darr, or any ederal employee,to run or town oce.
Darr et al would be unable to run
in a partisan election due to HatchAct restrictions against ederal em-ployees running in partisan elec-tions. Darr has long worked or theDeense Department as a security
ocer at the Pentagon.Troughout the commonwealth
town elections have traditionally been non-partisan due to the lacko partisan issues dealt with at themunicipal level. As Darr and oth-ers have pointed out, most o towngovernment decision-making dealswith common sense issues like how to provide services and maintaininrastructure in the most cost-e-cient manner.
However as we observed in our laststory on this controversy, in this ageo anti-government, anti-tax, anti-regulation o any kind o neo-con-servatism, who’s to say partisanship
isn’t the coming wave o governmentat all levels? – DAMN the commonsense, ull-radical-ideological-parti-san speed ahead!!!
Daryl Funk seemed to veriy that
trend in explaining his opposition to
a charter change codiying nomina-tion by non-partisan petition only.He told us he believes there is atrend in the state General Assem-bly toward partisan elections in allmunicipal elections. He was tact-ully non-committal to our questionas to whether that trend was being
orwarded by the Republican state
majority.Whatever its source, Funk said
were the state legislature to makepartisan municipal elections statelaw, the proposed Front Royal Char-ter change would become illegal in aDillon Rule state like Virginia.
“I don’t think it will get through
the legislature,” Funk

ogy, we asked. Funk replied that hedidn’t think the charter change wasnecessary; and added that as long asthe incumbent mayor was a candi-date, he would not support partisannominations.
When & how?
As reported in our previous edi-tion, a mid-September, one-personminority (Republican Hollis Tarpe)avored keeping the potential o par-tisan nominations alive. Tat minor-ity grew to a three-council block o Republicans (Tarpe, Sayre, Funk)leaning toward keeping partisannominations possible during an Oct.1 work session. Te two newly (atleast verbally) on-board to nix codi-ying non-partisan nominations aspart o proposed charter changes,Sayre directly and Funk indirectly,
were involved in a partisan-nomi-nation eort spearheaded by War-ren County Republican CommitteeSecretary and Seton Home Schooldirector Mary Kay Clark early this year. Had that eort succeeded in-ternally among local Republicans,Darr would have been disqualiedrom seeking re-election in the May 01 town election (see background
below).As the Oct. 15 discussion o pro-
posed town Charter Amendmentsbegan, Mayor Darr, holding an ob- vious tiebreaking vote on the non-partisan nominations, observed the
lone hold up appeared to be an im-passe on whether moving town elec-tions to November should be madein odd or even years; and by charteror by ordinance change. Darr saidhe elt council risked losing all pro-posed charter amendments seem-ing to have a majority consensus i
council couldn’t agree on the No- vember/odd-even year issue.
Despite an added condition ondeciding when town elections wouldoccur by ordinance requiring a our-person supermajority o council to
change (rather than a mayor’s tie-breaking vote), Bret Hrbek reiterat-ed his concern the May-Novemberissue would be made a political oot-ball rom council election to councilelection under that scenario.
“I don’t want our councilmen incontrol o this decision, I think we
should put it in the hands o theGeneral Assembly (the state legis-lature must approve proposed mu-nicipal charter changes), not ourcouncilmen,” Hrbek said.
Vice-Mayor Shae Parker observed

an obvious tiebreaking vote, avoredcodiying by charter change keepingthe tradition o qualiying or coun-cil elections by a petition o eligibletown voters (currently 15).
Hrbek said that while he had ini-
tially avored odd-year Novemberelections, he wasn’t “going to all onmy (philosophical) sword” on that is-sue and was willing to move orwardwith even-year November elections.
Eugene ewalt agreed that he wasready to move on a charter changeor November elections in even years i that would keep the ball roll-ing.
A straw poll then taken by themayor indicated a 4- majority (Parker, ewalt, Hrbek, Tarpe or;Funk, Sayre against) in avor o proceeding with a charter changerequest or November elections ineven years.
When Darr suggested councilmove orward with an advertised
public hearing on the proposedFront Royal own Charter changesat the next Monday night meeting(Oct. ), ewalt threw council acurve – “I won’t be here next Mon-day, I’ll be in Chicago,” ewalt said.
own Manager Steve Burke thenobserved council was not required
to vote the night o a public hearing,should the mayor and council’s pre-erence be that a vote o such impor-tance be taken with the ull councilpresent (see related story).
Partisan history
Sayre was identied by then Re-publican Committee Chair DaveHenderson as one o two people,Mary Kay Clark was the other, in-quiring about committee nomina-tions or the 01 town election.First-time council candidate Funkwas mentioned as a possible Repub-lican nominee by Clark in a Feb.1e-mail to committee members pro-moting the idea o partisan nomina-tions in the last town election. Whilenot eliminating uture considerationo the idea, Henderson blocked com-mittee nominations in the spring o 01 as unair to incumbent MayorDarr, who had already led his pe-
tition and paperwork to run or re-election.
Funk told us at the time he hadnot sought Clark’s endorsement ora partisan run or council and dis-tanced himsel rom not only thateort, but Clark’s e-mail assertionhe was a candidate to whom pro-lie
issues were o specic concern.“I don’t know what my stance on
pro-lie issues would have to do witha run or town council,” Funk told usin the spring run up to the May 01town election.
But i Clark seemed hot on the is-sue o partisan nominations or Funkand one other unnamed Republican(Sayre or mayor, perhaps?), she wasless enthusiastic about other localRepublicans taking advantage o herinitiative.
“Do you agree with me that weshould encourage Daryl to run as aRepublican? I so, can we call a Cau-cus ast enough?” Clark wrote in herFeb. 1 e-mail, adding, “And there isa danger here: Neither ewalt norBret Hrbek are currently memberson our Committee, but they bothmight come orth IF we do this orDaryl … And to top o the danger,im Ratigan might come orwardand want us to have a Caucus vote
or him or mayor!! … I will tell youthat once we go down this road, or-
ever ater, we will have Republicansrun or own Council! But we willneed to be very intelligent and in-sightul in the uture. We cannot doworse than what we have.”
Do the math
Apparently “worse than what wehave now” means a council majority at least one local Republican ocialdoesn’t like either personally (Rati-gan is a staunch pro-lie conserva-tive) or eels is not in her very spe-cic political camp. And what biggerthreat to any potential political pow-erbroker is there than higher voterturnouts, that in this case could ne-gate what appears to be about a 400to 500 person voting block?
Stand alone May town electionsover the past 1 years have averagedrom 15 to 0 percent turnouts, orabout 100 to 1500 o the town’s8000 or so registered voters. With
three council seats up each election,500 to 800 votes have generally been

By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
Perhaps not surprisingly, onecouncilman tried to pull an end runon a last-second change to proposedFront Royal own Charter Amend-ments ollowing an Oct. PublicHearing. As discussed at an Oct. 15work session, a council consensus todelay a vote until a ull council waspresent on such important business.On Oct. 15, Gene ewalt told councilhe would miss the Oct. meetingdue to a previously scheduled trip toChicago.
And ater just one public hearingspeaker, questioning the reason orinclusion o combining o the town
manager and town treasurer’s posi-tions – the answer was the combina-tion already exists, this just codies itin a more permanent manner – theapparent consensus to hold o on
any vote pending presence o a ullcouncil appeared poised to happen.
Vice-Mayor Shae Parker made amotion, seconded by Bret Hrbek,to postpone a vote until the Nov. 13meeting.
But om Sayre then oered anamendment to change the advertisedmove o town elections rom May to November in even-years, whenhigher turnout presidential and stateelections occur, to odd years whenonly county elections are being heldin November.
“I don’t think that’s appropri-ate,” Mayor im Darr responded toSayre’s move to a last-second changewith one councilman missing. Teprevious week Darr had largely been
responsible or brokering a major-ity consensus one way or the otheron the odd-even year issue in whathe believed was a necessary move tosave all the proposed charter amend-
ments (see related story).Sayre called or a point o order
rom own Attorney Doug Napier onwhether his motion to amend the ad-
vertised changes on the table ater amotion to postpone a vote had beenmade was permissible.
Napier replied that as council par-liamentarian, the mayor was respon-sible or such decisions, adding, “Iagree with the mayor” [that such anamendment to a motion to postponea vote was inappropriate].
Following that little exchange, themayor called or a roll-call vote onParker’s motion to postpone. Calledourth, Sayre then joined Daryl Funk,Hrbek and Parker in voting or thepostponement. Hollis Tarpe’s th
and nal vote made it a 5-0 majority to delay any vote or or against the
proposed charter amendments untilthe Nov. 13 council meeting when aull contingent o six is expected.
Parker later said he believed any change to what charter amendmentshad been advertised or public hear-ing would require the town to re-advertise or another public hearingwith the new changes in place. Tisperhaps explains the mayor’s senseo urgency the previous week thatcouncil come to a consensus on theodd-even year issue or risk losing allcharter amendments under consid-eration.
wo councilmen, Hrbek andewalt, initially avoring odd-yearelections with only county seats alsoup or grabs, swung to the even-year
side to keep movement on all thecharter changes going orward.
Council postpones vote on charter amendme Partisanship, size o November voter turnouts remain at issue
TownNapier replied (to Sayre) that as council parliamentarian, the mayor wable or such decisions, adding, “I agree with the mayor” [that such an amto a motion to postpone a vote was inappropriate].

By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
We received the ollowing state-ment rom Andy Schmookler, Dem-ocratic Nominee or Virginia’s SixthCongressional District, ollowing hisOctober 15th Debate with Republi-can incumbent Bob Goodlatte:
“As a truth-teller, not a partisan,I say something has gone terribly wrong with the once-respectableRepublican Party. Never in our his-tory has a major political party madesuch use o distortions and outrightalsehoods in talking to the Ameri-can people,” Schmookler’s post-Oct.15 debate statement began. “For ex-
ample, consider Mr. Goodlatte’s bigtheme that we need to be protectedagainst big government.
“But Bob Goodlatte has supportedthe kind o big government we Amer-icans should really ear – the kindthat tramples on those liberties ourounders provided. He has backeddetention o American citizens with-out trial; and searches without war-rants; and he proposed a measure toprotect intellectual property that hadto be withdrawn because it was anassault on ree speech on the Inter-net.
“But the rest o his argument isbased on a distortion: the idea thatthe U.S. suers rom out-o-controlgovernment spending – 35 times
what it was 50 years ago, he says. By ignoring major shrinkage in the valueo the dollar and growth in the sizeo our economy, Mr. Goodlatte ob-scures what’s really true and impor-tant:
“As a proportion o our nationaleconomy, the size o governmenthas been constant or many decades.Te ederal workorce has actually
decreased since Ronald Reagan wasPresident. Te size o governmentin the U.S., per capita, is nearly thesmallest among advanced democrat-ic capitalist nations.
“Te issue or us isn’t how big gov-ernment is but whom it’s serving.
“When Goodlatte and other Re-publicans speak o excessive govern-ment spending, they’re never talkingabout bloated deense budgets thatenrich government contractors. Tey want to cut programs that help aver-
age Americans.“And above all, t
about weakening govity to protect the pubrations that are so mgovernment can restro power.”
Goodlatte responds

tions. Trough sta, Goodlatte is-sued this response to Schmookler’scomments.
“oday, olks in the Sixth Congres-sional District, like olks rom allacross the country, are acing one o the most challenging times in our na-tion’s history. Our economy remainssluggish, people ear losing their jobsand their homes, and many are wor-ried about the uture their childrenand grandchildren will inherit. ospur economic growth, create new
jobs and bring personal opportunity to every American we must strength-en our ree market system, not ham-per it. We must reduce governmentintrusion, not allow more bailoutsand regulation. We should also un-
leash all o our energy resources andbecome energy independent, not sti-e certain energy sources with arti-cial government barriers. We mustgive our nation’s entrepreneurialspirit the opportunity to thrive, notenact policies that will orever alterour ability to seek prosperity.
“My opponent’s attacks on me andthe Republican Party are exampleso the Democratic Party continuingto point ngers – an attempt to dis-tract Americans rom the real issueswe ace. My opponent would like tosee a bigger government, higher tax-es, and more government spendingo borrowed money. Tese policiesare scally irresponsible and simply haven’t worked in the past our yearsunder the Obama Administration.
“I believe that we should put ourtrust in the hard work o small busi-ness owners and entrepreneurs rath-er than the government to turn thiseconomy around. I am condent inour ability to meet these challengestogether, and I will continue workinghard to represent the values o thepeople o the Sixth CongressionalDistrict o Virginia.”
Avoiding the issue?
Despite Goodlatte’s reply, whichbegs the issue o the accuracy o hisopponent’s criticism or which party has contributed more to continuingthe recession over the past three-plus years, Schmookler is not alone– even in Warren County – in his
concern about undamental changesin the philosophy o the RepublicanParty.
A number o local Republicans aresupporting Schmookler’s challengeo Goodlatte due to their party’sswing to the extreme political rightand protection o the super rich romany meaningul taxation, while bleat-ing about national decits – decitsthat upward adjustments to the taxrates billionaires and multi-million-aires pay, could wipe out in short or-der.

By Don RepiciSpecial to WC Report
(Managing editor’s note: despite mydisdain or mainstream politics, par-
ticularly rom the extreme political right and ineectual political let, I
actually get along with most peopleand ofcials involved in Republican
and Democratic politics locally – RE- ALLY, I swear. So ater letting WC
Democratic Chair Molly Snyder vent ater the vandalism to their head-quarters last issue, I promised WC
Republican Chairman Don Repici I’d give him the oor in this issue. George
Allen’s wie Susan’s visit to county
Republican headquarters on Oct. 23
seemed the perect launching point.Tis is Don’s summary o his impres-
sion o Mrs. Allen’s visit, talk and ral-lying points or her and the party’s run
up to Nov. 6.)
On uesday, October 3, Susan Al-len, wie o ormer Governor GeorgeAllen, the Republican candidate orthe U.S. Senate rom Virginia, visitedthe Warren County Republican Head-quarters or an inormal discussionwith local residents about the issueso concern in this upcoming election.She covered such issues as Ameri-can energy independence, the cost
o gasoline, the suppression o thecoal industry, and the road blocks orAmerican companies to drill and de-
velop our own natural resources. Shealso discussed job creation and how taxation destroys jobs and the roleo Obamacare as probably one o thelargest tax burden in U.S. history. Shealso discussed the enormous increasein our national debt and how it bur-dens uture generations and stranglesthe ability o entrepreneurs to create
jobs and undermines our nationalsecurity. She also spoke o the bud-get dilemma posed by sequestration,which would dramatically reduce thesize o the American deense eortand emphasized Governor Allen’s in-tention to rebuild the U.S. Navy and
how important that is or Virginia.Finally, Mrs. Allen noted that the col-lection o these burdens on America,
either initiated or exacerbated by thecurrent Administration, has createda worldwide perception o Americandecline.
Mrs. Allen went through this litany o American misortune as a actualand somber recitation o the ObamaAdministration’s ailures and whatneeds to be xed. Further discussiono these issues would emphasize Mrs.Allen’s urging that people simply getout and vote or the Republican tick-et.
Unortunately, energy is a tragicexample. We send billions o dol-lars annually to the Middle East to
purchase oil. Money, unds our adversarieers drain American w
our standard o livinthe dollar. Current policy is to bar oshreduce Gul o Mexicoessentially put governlimits to drilling and restrict the developming shale rock, to obsting o the Keystone would open up the vasands supply to the Urestricting Alaska oil dition, the unwarranon the development ocoal resources is puttthousands o people

the basis o speculative environmen-tal gains while oreign countries con-tinue to pollute unabated. Te simpleact is there are more recoverablehydrocarbon resources in the UnitedStates and Canada than anywhereelse in the world. Te United Statescan truly become energy independenti the correct ederal policies were putinto place.
Jobs, taxation, regulation, andObamacare represent another set o critical policy issues. Increased taxa-tion and regulation correspond to re-duced investment, which correspondsto ewer jobs. It also creates an envi-ronment o uncertainty and makesoverseas investments o Americanunds more attractive. Te “Band-Aidxes” proposed by the Obama Admin-istration sound good but oer no realincentive or investment in Americanindustry and to create jobs. Likewise,Obamacare represents probably thelargest tax increase on Americans inU.S. history. What seems to be lostin these discussions is that decreas-ing taxation and regulation, increases
jobs and adds to the tax receipts thatthe government receives, enabling adecrease in the rate o taxation whileincreasing the amount o ederal rev-enues.
Mrs. Allen spent much time dis-cussing national security as the pri-mary responsibility o the ederalgovernment, noting that the enor-mous increase in debt simply reducesAmerica’s ability to maintain its de-ense posture but also weakens ourability to deal internationally. Many o the world’s countries hold the U.S.dollar as their reserve currency. Asincreased debt weakens and devalues
the dollar more dollars will come intothe international nancial market atreduced value. Both internationally and nationally people are unwilling toaccept the ull value o the U.S. dollarand the standard o living in the Unit-
ed States is declining. Tat is truly anational security issue.
Mrs. Allen also ocused on Gov-ernor Allen’s support to rebuild theU.S. Navy. Virginia and the U.S. Navy are closely intertwined. In many waysVirginia’s uture is tied to the vibran-cy and health o the U.S. Navy. I the
intended sequestration o deenseunds does in act occur, it will costthousands o jobs in Virginia as wellas weaken our national deense. Mrs.Allen noted Governor Allen’s strongopposition to cuts in deense, the onearea o primary governmental re-sponsibility.
Finally the perception o Americandecline, occasioned by this collectiono poor and misguided policy choic-es, not only limits America’s abil-ity to deal internationally, to reduceour inuence worldwide, but alsotakes rom the American public thatspirit o condence and pride in their
country. Te sad conwe have brought this
voting or the wrong It is still reversible. It the American peopletheir nation is in damake a choice as to wthe American dream.

Engle’s Angle: My Third Fa
By Kevin S. EngleWarren County Report
What’s your avorite day othe year?
I have two. My birthdayand Christmas.
My third avorite is rightaround the corner. The exactdate changes, but it’s alwayson a Wednesday. This yearit’s on the 7th. O Novem-ber.
What’s so special aboutthat day?
It’s the day AFTER thePresidential election.
Brothers and sisters, canyou say “Amen”?
I I can survive until then,
I will have made it throughanother Presidential elec-tion. And when I lay my headon my pillow ater the pollsclose, I’ll do so with a smileon my ace.
Why?Because my lie, and yours,
are about to get a lot better,and it has nothing to do withwho won. Beginning on No-vember 7th, we won’t haveto put up with the ollowing:- No more political surveysand other calls urging us tovote or one o the candi-dates.- No more oversized ads in
our mailbox telling us whyone candidate would do agreat job as President, whilethe other is no better than aheaping pile o rotting gar-bage.- No more TV ads like these:
Commercial #1 –PresidentObama has done a great jobleading our country.
Commercial #2 – PresidentObama has done a horrible
job leading our country.Commercial #3 – Mitt Rom-
ney cares deeply about themiddle class.
Commercial #4 – Mitt Rom-ney couldn’t care less about
the middle class.Commercial #5 – Vote “yes”or Question #7 on the Mary-land ballot.
Commercial #6 – Vote “no”or Question #7 on the Mary-land ballot.(Hey Maryland , I live in Vir-
ginia . If I voted ‘yes’ or ‘no’for Question #7, I’d get ar-
rested for voter fraud. On second thought, it might
be worth going t least I wouldn’t ha

• In this season of bitter partisanrivalries, it would be well to remem-
ber the following sage observation:“Do not trust to the cheering, for those persons would cheer just asmuch if you and I were going to behanged.” The man who first madethat observation was Lord Protector of England Oliver Cromwell, consid-ered by some to be a hero of liberty,
by others to be a regicidal dictator.He died in 1658, probably from sep-ticemia. He was so reviled that, threeyears later, he body was exhumed sothat he could be posthumously exe-cuted, his body thrown into a pit andhis head displayed on a pole outsideWestminster Hall.
• Those who study such things saythat if all the gold in the world werecombined in one lump, it would resultin a cube that measures 20 yards oneach side.
• If you’re planning a trip to Lima,Peru, you might want to add Puentede Piedra to your sightseeing list.Though the Spanish name means“Bridge of Stone,” the span is popu-larly known as the Bridge of Eggs.Legend has it that in 1608, the build-ers the used the whites of 10,000 sea-
bird eggs in the mortar that holds thestones together.
• Pumpkins are native to the Ameri-cas, not Europe. This is why the orig-inal jack-o’-lantern was a turnip.
• What do the words “obscene,”“tranquil,” “mediate,” “catastrophe,”“dire,” “critical,” “vast” and “apos-trophe” have in common? All of themappeared in print for the first time inthe works of William Shakespeare.
• If you’re contemplating a move toCorpus Christi, Texas, be sure to keepin mind that in that town, it’s illegal toraise alligators in your home.

Dear Stewart,
When is the best time to prune andwill it hurt the tree i I prune at thewrong time?
SignedDale Lynn
Dear Dale,
We squirrels appreciate it when hu-mans prune the dead branches out o their trees. It’s a horriying momentwhen you are running along a branchand all o a sudden it cracks and dropsout rom under you.
Fortunately, as long as you do it cor-rectly, there really isn’t a wrong time toprune your trees.
rees should be pruned or variousreasons. It’s good to remove dead andbroken branches. It’s also a good idea,i the tree is younger, to prune someto develop the plant or best shape and
structure. Dead and broken branchescan, and should, be taken of at any time they occur.
As or structural pruning, it is sonice to be able to comortably jumprom branch to branch. It is absolutely no un to get tripped up by a crossingbranch. While this work can be doneat any time o the year, I think it is bet-ter to do this in winter when the treeis dormant.
First o all, it is much easier to seethe branch structure in the winterwhen the oliage is no longer there. So
you know what to prune of. But moreimportantly, deciduous trees producesugars in their leaves all summer long.In the all, these sugars are transport-ed to the roots, the leaves all to theground, and the plant goes dormant.Over the years, the plant builds upstores o excess sugars which supportthe tree during times o stress. Tere-ore, i branches are removed in sum-
mer, you are removing these sugars.Pruning in winter allows the sugars toremain in the tree.
Now some trees, like Maples andBirch, tend to have lots o sap rising inthe spring. And, i pruned at this time,the plant will tend to “bleed” a lot. I’veeven heard some humans say the treewill lose too much sap and die. Tisisn’t really true. Te sap will seal of the wound eventually, but the tree islosing sugar with the sap. So it is bet-ter to prune these types o trees at adiferent time o the year.
Also keep in mind whenever youprune, please leave enough branchesor the squirrels to run on. Never,ever, ever, remove more than a quartero the total branches at one time. Andi your pruning makes the shape o thetree look unnatural, then you are notdoing it right.
- Stewart
