“Being away from home for long periods of time is never easy but with the support of our fellow
Community Americans doing things like this for us lets that light shine a little brighter until we see the full

By Roger Bianchini
Warren County Report
The local Girl Scout initiative to
supply sailors aboard the USS Carter
Hall with a healthy supply of their fa-
mous cookies has been a success.
As you may recall, on Feb. 10th
members of the Warren County Girl
Scout Troop 40573 gathered at Front
Royal Fire Station One to send almost
1,200 boxes of Girl Scout cookies on
their way to Carter Hall sailors on ac-
tive duty assignment overseas. The
were delivered to the ship safely and
very well enjoyed! All of my ship-
mates plus a few other lucky indi-
viduals were ecstatic to receive that
small piece of home sent out here.
“When the cookies arrived we
were doing operations with both the
Coast Guard and Army. I just wanted
to inform you that your cookies not
only went to my ship but also to two
USCG cutters, one US Army LSV
and numerous Marines stationed
onboard my ship. I wish you all could
have seen the smiles on the faces of
those who received your cookies.

Bob Wade remembers and dedicates with his Riverboat
Two-year project honors woman who donated Hidden Springs land
A Riverboat named “Dorothy”
By Carol Ballard
Warren County Report
 
Robert (Bob) Wade, 85-year-old
happy resident of Hidden Springs
Senior Living in Limeton, has spent
the last two years or so construct-
ing a replica of a Mississippi paddle
steam boat.
On March 28 at a gathering of
his Hidden Springs community, the
press and his oldest son David Wade,
he dedicated it to the memory of a
dear friend.
At the presentation of his boat, he
began his narrative with the words,
“This is a big day for me and I hope
it will be for you after I say what I
have to say about the building of my
- now our - boat. It’s a privilege to be
here to talk about it. It’s related to a
person I care for. I built it in memory
of Dorothy Rudacille, who donated
25 acres of land for Hidden Springs.”
Dorothy Rudacille was the mother of
Vicki Davison, who owns and oper-
ates Hidden Springs with her hus-
band, Daryl.
When he and his wife Lois were
visiting a few years back, to see if
they wanted to live there, Dorothy
was in the west wing sun room and
Bob stopped to speak with her and
mentioned her donation of the land.  count on us for quality services. Call today for more
He told her, “You’ve done good.” She
repeated the words and right away,
he said, “a lightning-like shock hit
the two of us and we just stood there
for a moment.”
He said, “We both felt that the
Lord had touched us and that we
had become soul-friends.” And as
if to assure him that he was on the
right track, when they were leaving
the residence that day, Lois said, “It’s
just the right place. We have to be
here.”
“I hadn’t told her about my light-
ning experience,” he said.
In order to put into a material
form how he felt about Dorothy,
Bob has been  busy with tweezers,
glue, paint, little boat pieces-some
of which he made himself-and has
pieced together a miniature river-
boat. On the bow, he placed a small
woman’s figure to represent her. He
said he has a “real steady hand”, but
painting it was the hard part. His
four sons made the display case.
In order to show how the folks at
his living community can feel a part
of the network of streams and riv-
ers all across the country, and also
to each other, Bob said, “My story
shows how the waters here on the
Rudacille property almost connect
with the river waters across our
country. So follow my story and hear
what I have to say about our watery
connection.”

He gave [his wife] the title of Commodore, and named Rudacille’s daughter Vicki and husband
Daryl, Captain and Chief Engineer respectively. He said, “It’s no longer just my boat, it’s our boat.”
– Bob Wade on “Riverboat” crew honoring memory of Dorothy Rudacille
Bob wade at his work bench
He told how Flint Run crosses the
property, then empties into Gooney
Creek, which empties into the south
fork of the Shenandoah River, which
flows downstream to Front Royal
where it connects with the north
fork of the Shenandoah that origi-
nates in West Virginia.  On the other
side of the mountain, the Monanga-
hela River begins and joins the Ohio
and eventually finds the Mississippi.
Traveling down the Mississippi, he
said, when you get close to New Or-
leans, you can hear Dixieland music,
and indeed his audience heard Dix-
ieland music via a recording help-
fully played by Daryl.
Many other connecting eastern
and western rivers were mentioned
and in closing, he said, “We all (peo-
ple of the United States) are con-
nected as a nation much like we here
are joined as a family by Dorothy’s
gift of the Hidden Springs location.”
Instead of smashing a bottle on the
bow, some non-alcoholic Alpenglow
sparkling cider was passed around
and everyone toasted the boat and
Dorothy. He gave her the title of
Commodore, and named Rudacille’s
daughter Vicki and husband Daryl,

Bob has had a long and active
life. He was born and raised in Fort
Wayne, Indiana, served in the US
Navy during World War II, and
said he has lived “all over the place”,
including Puget Sound, Detroit,
Shanghai and the Panama Canal. His
various careers included five years as
a federal investigator; branch man-
ager for Sunbeam Corporation; and
he was an ordained minister, hav-
ing attended Iliff United Methodist
Seminary in Denver, Colo.
He and his wife Lois were both
widowed when they met in Win-
chester and have been together for
about 10 years. They said, “We’ve
had a lot of fun.”

Nightrider highlights April 23 firehouse fundraiser

founding members of the band.
But Richard was pretty young in
those days and didn’t have a lot
of contact with them. At the fu-
neral, Richard met with the other
members, and at a later concert
he got to talking with them and
heard some stories of the days
when they all played together
with his dad.
“It means a lot to have them
play here on a personal level. I
only heard them play once, and
it’s nice to hear them talk. To see
them play and him not be there
was kind of weird, but I enjoyed
it,” said Richard.
Drummer Jim Racey said, “I
hope this is the first of many
fundraisers and we hope to get
some new fans. It’s loud rock and
roll-Southern rock. We play any-
thing from Dwight Yoakum to
AC-DC.”
They’d also like to draw out
some of their original fans, hav-
ing played around Front Royal in
the early 1980s, mostly at places
that have since closed up. The
original band broke up in 1986
and then lead guitarist Jerry went
to Nashville to play. When Jerry
and Jim started playing again,
they happened to pay a visit to
the old Strasburg Theater. They
met and talked to Tony, who they
thought was a good singer, and
by the next New Year’s Eve were
playing there. “We’re running
into the offspring of our old fans,”
Jim said.
“And we’re doing this for the
sheer satisfaction of helping out.
We look to do more benefits in
the year to come,” said Tony.

Company One won’t be putting out this musical fire
– Nightrider heats up on stage.
Nightrider also has plans to
produce a new CD by the end
of this year. Included on it will
be a song that Jerry and Jim col-
laborated on called “Old Virginia
State Line”, written in 1982 on
the way back home from a trip to
the Virgin Islands. “Richard’s Dad
was involved with that too,” they
said.
Richard added, “You don’t get
to hear this kind of good music
live, it’s a very reasonable price.
We’d like to see two to three hun-
dred people here.”
He also wants people to know
the dance will have an “atmo-
sphere kind of like a bar scene,” a
place where people can come and
dance, have a few drinks, have a
good time and associate with the
band.
And Marc noted, “None of this
would be possible without the
help of the department’s volun-
teers. It’s the day in and day out
dedication of these men and
women that make events like
these and the operation of the
department run so smoothly. I’m
hoping that this event is one of
many with not only Nightrider,
but certainly other local bands
that are interested as well.”
Their hope is to bring bands in
several times a year. Any band
interested in playing for one of
the dances can contact the Front
Royal Volunteer Fire and Rescue
Department at (540) 635-2540
and ask for Richard or Marc, or

County 911 – less time is good.” – WC Fire & Rescue Chief Richard Mabie on rationale for 911 switch for
sections of Reliance closer to WC Co. 10

Board set to approve Reliance 911 service switch

$410,000 approved for additional Leach Run ROW acquisition by EDA
about response time and distance,”
Mabie told the supervisors, as he
had explained to Reliance resi-
dents previously. Mabie told the
county board that when the reason
for the switch was explained, im-
pacted residents, many older and
with a history of heart and other
health issues, seemed to accept it
as a benefit to them.
“While they have had excellent
service from the Middletown sta-
tion, common sense kicked in
– less time is good,” Mabie said
of the consensus among Reliance
residents attending the two public
meetings.
As one example that kicked that
common sense in, Mabie utilized
one of the 100 to 140 impacted
residences. He said a 911 call from
3793 Reliance Road was routed
through the Frederick County sys-
tem to the Middletown station for
response. The address is 5.87 miles
from Middletown Company 12 and
1.43 miles from Warren Company
10.
Such logic, when minutes and
even seconds can mean the differ-
ence between life and death, not
only made sense to Reliance resi-
dents, but to the Warren County

Warren County Report
Residents of a northwest corner
of Warren County are getting a
switchover to their 911 emergency
services. That switchover, as ex-
plained by Warren County Fire
and Rescue Chief Richard Mabie at
an April 5th board of supervisors
work session, will transfer cover-
age of over 100 households with
868 and 869 telephone prefixes to
North Warren Station 10.
Those households, east and
south of Cauthorn Mill and North
River Roads, have been serviced by
Middletown Volunteer Fire Com-
pany 12 since at least 1997. Mabie
told the supervisors that during

expressed an emotional tie to Mid-
dletown Company 12 based on a
history of excellent service.
However, when the 911 response

supervisors as well. With two pub-
lic meetings already held in the
Reliance area and no ripple, much
less a groundswell of opposition
being heard, the board consensus
was that an additional public hear-
ing before them was unnecessary.
Approval of the switchover was
slated for a vote at an upcom-

likely the next regular meeting of

Neighbors opposing an Inter-

28.69 acres of property in a remote
section of eastern Warren County
took a final shot at derailing the

application during an April 5th
work session.
Prior to the work session sched-
uled to explore concerns expressed
during a March 15th public hear-
ing, two supervisors, Richard
Traczyk and Tony Carter, visited
the retreat site. Traczyk, in whose
district the property lies, reported
only one adjacent property out
building visible from the retreat’s
property. However upon our own
subsequent tour of the property,
applicant Ingrid Jolly pointed out
– or attempted to – one other
home she said was on a high ho-
rizon across the creek and uphill
from her property. Despite the
lack of leaves on the trees, squint
as we might we ended up taking
her word that the house was, in
fact, there.

concerns expressed by seven

One neighbor speaking against
the permit during the March 15th
public hearing even worried over
pedophiles posing as Peace Vil-
lage clients roaming through the
woods menacing the rural neigh-
borhood and its children.
However during the April 4th
work session four neighbors pres-
ent focused on potential trespass-
ing from retreat clients hiking the
woods without clear-cut bound-
ary markings between the large,
rural tracts. One also cornered
this reporter during a closed ses-
sion prior to the work session,
claiming a new traffic report in-
dicating the retreat if permitted
would generate 2000 additional
car trips.
However the only new traffic re-
port we found cited a minimum of
21 to a maximum of 98 car trips
per month generated by the re-
treat center.
That same traffic report on the
Twin Run Estates six neighbor-
ing properties off Kendall Court
cited a potential 390 to 1170 car
trips per month generated by the
retreat’s neighbors.
Retreat applicant and spiritual
counselor Jolly pointed out to
the supervisors on April 4th that
if overnight guests were allowed
through the teepee and other
primitive accommodations being
requested in the permit, it would
actually reduce the number of car
trips the retreat would generate.

However as a map presented by

are accessed by a looped road that
splits off of Hardesty Road about
a mile prior to Hardesty’s inter-

No speeding survey reply – no assistant town attorney?

By Roger Bianchini
Warren County Report
We kept waiting for the e-mails
to come pouring in, in response
to our now one-month old survey
on local residents with a “speed
trap” gripe against the Front Royal
Police Department. In our March
18th edition we asked, guaran-
teeing anonymity, to hear from
anyone “who has gotten a speed-
ing ticket in the past two years for
less than 10 mph over the posted
speed limit, particularly 5 mph or
less over,” as well as from anyone
“ticketed for a speeding offense
on Happy Creek Road at the site
of the recent widening from the
intersection with Sixth Street to
Meadow or thereabouts between
Nov. 11 and Nov. 15, 2010.”
As of April 14, we had not re-
ceived one reply – Chief Furr, it
appears you and your staff are
in the clear on this one (or your
victims are paralyzed with fear of
reprisals) … No, no – just kidding
– we think with our guarantee of
anonymity, you ARE off the hook
on the oft-voiced complaints we
have heard in recent years about
Front Royal turning into a small-
town speed trap … however
we plan to continue our cam-
paign to revisit the now posted
25 mph speed limits at all town
entranceways, particularly John
Marshall Highway to the east and
North Shenandoah Avenue to the
north.
In a perhaps related develop-
ment, one thing that jumped out
at us in the proposed FY 2012
Town Budget was the legal de-
partment’s requested elimination
of the assistant town attorney’s
position of George Sonnett.
We inquired of both Acting
Town Manager Steve Burke and
Town Attorney Tom Robinett
about the proposed cut – about
$65,000 plus benefits.
Burke first explained to us that
“a significant reduction in rev-
enue generated by prosecutions,
particularly traffic cases” was the
driving reason for the proposed
cut of the assistant attorney’s po-
sition.
Traffic cases?? We wondered.
Could that be speeding tickets?
We asked.
Yes, Burke replied, speeding
tickets did apparently account
for a significant portion of that
decreased number of traffic cases
being handled by Sonnett.
Ah hah, we thought, maybe we cal Republican no-tax activist have seemed indispensible, alas

reasons Sonnett’s work load has

to the slowed economy.

FR budget 2012 – juggling people and revenue

Shae Parker and Acting Town Manager Stever Burke,
back to camera, talk following April 11 meeting.
By Roger Bianchini
Warren County Report
After waking up from the shock
of council approval of the first
general town tax increases in
some 12 years, we attempted to
get a handle on the Town of Front
the hole each of the past two years
on that revenue stream will help
meet overall expenses. Council
raised the personal property tax
rate to 64 cents, more accurately
reflecting current auto values. In
FY 2010, a seven-cent hike would

have been required to equalize
that 60-cent tax rate due to plum-
meting auto values. But in the
grip of a no-tax majority, coun-
cil refused to even neutralize its
personal property tax revenue for
two years.
According to a summary pre-
pared by Acting Town Manager
Steve Burke, the proposed bud-
get combines staff cuts, addi-
tions and realignments to match
changes in service demands in a
still struggling national and re-
gional economic environment.
As discussed in a series of re-
cent work sessions, some capital
improvement projects have been
carried over from the previous
year. Council recently voided its
FY 2011 loan of $630,000 from
the town Electric Fund to its
General Fund by carrying over
a number of projects, including
significant paving programs to
the 2012 budget. Burke told us
those carry over capital improve-
ment projects will be funded in
the new budget proposal to the
tune of $300,000 to $400,000.
One highlight of the FY 2012
town budget is a one percent cost
of living increase for the town’s
approximate 160 employees after
several years of no pay increases.
“We want to show our employ-
ees we’re trying with the limited
resources that we have,” Finance
Director Kim Gilkey-Breeden
told council on April 4.
Overall the proposed $36.95
million budget reflects an in-

Freewheeling Park dedication

Royal’s proposed Fiscal Year 2012
budget.
The $240,000 of revenue gener-
ated from the approved real estate
increase of 2-cents has been ear-
marked for early stages of three
specific capital improvement
projects, east and west connector
roads and a new police station, so
doesn’t impact the general oper-
ating expenses in the proposed
$36,959,129 FY 2012 budget.
However the three-year belated

County unveils $83.5 million budget - public weighs in
Relatively flat budget, 13-cent equalization to real estate tax introduced
By Roger Bianchini
Warren County Report
The Warren County Board of
Supervisors heard from 12 citi-
zens during an April 12th Special
Meeting Public Hearing on the
proposed Fiscal Year 2012 coun-
ty budget of $83,549,695. Funny
thing, only three of those speak-
ers voiced serious reservations
about expenditures or taxes.
Perhaps that is because the
budget contains only a .3-per-
cent (that’s point-3) increase of
$241,088 over the current $83.3
million budget and a post-reas-
sessment equalization real estate
tax increase of 13 cents – from
the existing 46 cents per $100 of
assessed value to 59 cents.
The majority of speakers – five
– were with a contingent of Sam-
uels Public Library staff and vol-
unteers, many of those teen vol-
unteers, who are also avid readers
and library users. They thanked
the county for past financial sup-
port and some of the teens urged
adequate funding to once again
keep the library open seven days
a week. The budget contains a
3.85-percent increase in library
funding, up to $25,000.
Also appearing in support of
the library was John Smith and
his dog Sam. Sam is recently re-
tired from the library’s “Books
& Barks” reading program for
children. Library Director Nikki
Lynch described that and other
library reading initiatives for
both children and adults, as well
as computer classes that munici-
pal funding helps facilitate at the
public library.
Two speakers addressed the

low the 2008 level, Stanley ob-
served.
Including a $640,000 dip from
the county fund balance for capi-
tal projects, the county revenue
climbed a dizzying .07 percent -
$34,968 from FY 2011.
And for the third consecutive
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It
isn’t always easy for the rambunctious
Aries to give a second thought to their
often spur-of-the-moment choices.
But aspects favor rechecking a deci-
sion before declaring it final.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Information emerges for the busi-
ness-driven Bovine who feels ready
to restart a stalled project. Be prepared
to make adjustments as needed at any
time during the process.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Part
of you wants to complete plans for
an upcoming event, while your other
self wants to see how things develop
first. Compromise by moving ahead
with your plans while being open to
change.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An
unexpected change in a relationship
could open up a problem or could
lead to a much-needed and too-long-
delayed reassessment of a number of
matters. The choice is yours to make.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Time for
the Lion to total the plusses and minus-
es resulting from recent personal and/
or professional decisions. See what
worked, what didn’t and why, and base
your next big move on the results.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) The clever Virgo can make persua-
sion work by presenting a case built on
hard facts. Sentiment might touch the
heart, but it’s good, solid information
year, other than the pondered
half to three-percent bonuses
discussed elsewhere utilizing ei-
ther federal-state stimulus mon-
ey (schools) or Health Insurance
Fund reserves (county), there
are no COLA or Merit salary in-
creases in the budget.
that invariably wins the day.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) You usually can win over the most
stubborn skeptics on your own. But
this time you can benefit from support-
ers who have been there, done that and
are willing to speak up on your behalf.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) You win admiration for your
determination to do the right thing.
Don’t be distracted from that course,
despite the offer of tempting alterna-
tives that might suddenly turn up.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) While you still need to
maintain control of a dominant situ-
ation, a new development emerges,
making the task easier and the out-
come potentially more rewarding.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) New factors might have a
positive effect on a still-pending mat-
ter, but only if the information proves
to be credible. Trusted colleagues
might be able to offer needed advice.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-
ruary 18) The week favors modera-
tion, especially if a health problem
is involved. Resist the impulse to do
more than might be good for you at
this time. You can catch up later.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
You could feel more than a mite upset
by someone or some people who might
be creating problems for you. Find out
why they won’t change their ways.
Their reasons might surprise you.
BORN THIS WEEK: You know
how to inspire others to do their best
by setting a persuasive example of
your own.

Fasten your bewits: Falconry rules take off
Eva King’s red-tailed hawk comes to momma.
By Jennie Lynn Price
Capital News Service
RICHMOND – The American
foxhound is the Virginia state
dog and a popular companion
for hunters. A handful of Virginia
hunters, however, hunt with an
animal that is more mysterious
– and feathery.
Falconry, once called the sport
of kings, is alive and well in Vir-
ginia.
The sport is a demanding one,
and requires a daily time com-
mitment and stringent permit-
ting process. It’s really more of a
lifestyle, says Dr. Eva King, presi-
dent of the Virginia Falconers’
Association.
“It’s not something to pick up
on the weekend,” she said.
Under a bill signed by Gov. Bob
McDonnell last month, some
state laws governing falconry will
be relaxed and the sport’s practi-
tioners will gain legal protections
for their birds that previously ap-
plied only to hunting dogs. This
will include broadened penalties
for anyone who intentionally re-
moves a transmitting device from
a bird.
House Bill 1442 also extends

the state’s right-to-retrieve law,
which allows hunters to go on to
prohibited lands to retrieve their
dogs. That right will now include
hunters hunting with birds of
prey, also called raptors.
This is important, said the
bill’s sponsor, Delegate Harvey
Morgan, R-Gloucester, because
falcons fly so far they can some-
times come down on someone
else’s property.
Falconry has been practiced for
more than 3,000 years all over
the world, King said, and in that
time, the sport hasn’t changed
that much.
Apprentice falconers tend to
start with red-tailed hawks and
Harris hawks. More advanced fal-
coners may hunt with peregrine
falcons. Some hunters choose to
work with owls.
Today, there are around 100 li-
censed falconers in Virginia and
about 4,500 nationwide. “It’s not
terribly widespread,” King noted.
King became involved in falconry
12 years ago in England. Today
she lives and hunts in Charlottes-
ville with her husband, Andrew.
Falconry is the most regulated
field sport in the country, she
said. Aspiring falconers must

King and hawk in repose
score at least 80 percent cor-
rect on a written test, have their
equipment and facilities where
their birds are housed inspected
and approved, and serve at least
two years as an apprentice under
a licensed falconer.
After the two years, an appren-
tice may apply for a general class
license – and only after five years
with that license can a falconer
apply for a master class license.
Permits are required at the state
and federal level, in addition to
whatever game permits are nec-
essary.
“It might sound crazy, but it
ensures that people are serious,”
King said.
The sport is largely self-regulat-
ing, she said. “The standards we
put on ourselves are usually more

John Moore, a master falconer
in Middlesex County in Virgin-
ia’s Middle Peninsula, carefully
tracks the weights of his birds
daily, down to the gram.
The goal is for the birds to be

bird may lose interest in the hunt
and an underweight bird may be
lethargic. Temperature and me-
tabolism also play a large role,
Moore said.
Moore, who lives in the town of
Saluda, first approached Delegate
Morgan to sponsor the bill. A
member of the Virginia Falcon-
ers’ Association, Moore has been
involved in the sport for nearly 20
years. Morgan is a family friend,
and Moore felt the delegate’s af-
finity for the outdoors and posi-
tion as chairman of the Agricul-
ture Chesapeake and Natural
Resources Committee would be a
good fit for the bill.
Moore monitors his birds’ di-
ets carefully; they require a fresh
whole food diet – whole mice,
whole rats and other small mam-
mals. It is also important that the
birds be kept sheltered and dry,
he said, as well as monitored for
parasites.

operate?
“It’s a bond that forms through
repetition,” Moore said.
The type of hunting will vary by
bird. The natural prey for a hawk
is rabbits, squirrels and other
small mammals on the ground.
The bill enjoyed unanimous
support in the House and the
Senate.
“Only certain people have the
patience and skill to practice fal-
conry,” Morgan said. “They de-
vote a lot of themselves to the
tact between a hunting rap-
tor and either quarry or lure.

and go after ducks, pheasants and
quail. A Glossary for Falconry
U.S. falconry regulations have

always been strict because the
rules are an exemption to the Mi-
gratory Bird Treaty Act. Without
the exemption, handling the birds
would be illegal.
In 2008, falconry regulations
began to change as the federal
government moved to shift the
permitting process to individual
states. Updating the Virginia
regulations will bring the state in
line with changing federal regula-
tions, King said.
One change will now allow
master falconers to have five wild
birds, up from the old state rule
of three. Also, the number of cap-
tive-bred birds a master falconer
may possess will no longer be re-
stricted.
The new laws will also allow ap-
prentices to fly different types of
birds, lower the age limit for ap-
prentices and create online data-
bases to track the purchase and
transfer of birds.
When the falconers testified
before a House panel in January
– with birds on their fists – they
had no problem holding the at-
tention of the committee, Mor-
gan said.
“I just didn’t want to take my
eyes off the bird, it was so pretty,”
Morgan said. “It’s a lovely crea-
ture.”
The falconers impressed the
committee with their knowledge
and understanding, he said.

but groups need to schedule ahead
for an appointment. For the big
events, individuals also need ap-
pointments.
Billie was excited to talk about up-
coming public events that are in
their near spring and summer fu-
ture.
On the 16th of April, as part of
Historic Garden Week, which runs
from April 16 to 23, the Garden
Club of Warren County will have
four homes on display and Sunflow-
er Cottage is part of the tour. A buf-
fet lunch will be available and visi-
tors will be able to explore the gift
shop, greenhouses and grounds.
On April 27, from 1-3 p.m., there
will be a Shenandoah Herb Soci-
ety Open House. The grounds will
open to the public at no charge.
On May 9, High Tea will be offered
for Mother’s Day at 11:30 a.m., 1:00
p.m., and 2:30 p.m.
On May 14 as part of the Warren
County’s 175th anniversary Farm
Tour, High Tea will be served at a
discount price. Billie said that the
day will be devoted to serving food
to promote the agrarian lifestyle
and to show how much pleasure
and satisfaction there is in growing
some of your own food. People will
be walked through the process and
steps of growing culinary herbs.
Other parts of the center which
will be open and ready for people
to enjoy as well are the cooks’ gar-
den where vegetables are grown for
local restaurants; the herb garden;
and the labyrinth.
We walked outside to the herb gar-
den and Billie talked about the lab-
yrinth nearby. First of all, she said
it’s a super huge one which mea-
sures 50 ft across and has 11cir-
cuits. She said also that it’s different
than a maze which has high walls.

Humane Society
Barr bids an emotional farewell to Humane Society
Eastham, Thurman, McKinnon voted to HSWC board seats
After serving as president of
the Humane Society of Warren
County for two years, Malcolm
Barr, Sr. retired from the board
of directors at its annual meeting
April 12 and was surprised by the
formal dedication of the animal
shelter’s large animal enclosure
in his name.
Signage will be installed at the
compound which currently is
occupied by two Arabian mares.
Barr established the enclosure
and run-in shed with volunteer
help and donated materials the
summer of 2009. It has since
been occupied by several horses,
a Shetland pony, a wayward mule
and a stray goat. All, except the
mares, are adopted out.
Barr, 78, who bred and raced
Thoroughbreds for 21 years, said
he was “surprised and overcome”
as he thanked Humane Society
members, especially recogniz-
ing HSWC Vice-President Carol
Goddard and Julia Wagner Shel-
ter Executive Director Carol Ann
Fox.
Barr seems to be on an hon-
orary-naming roll – earlier this
year, upon his retirement from
the horse business, a yearling
Thoroughbred whose dam he
once owned, was registered with
the Jockey Club as “Calling Mr.
Malcolm”.
Members voted on to the
board were Denise Eastham, of
Front Royal, director of Urgent
Care and Occupational Health

“Don is being recognized not
only for his daily work at the
shelter, but for his valuable and
dependable off-site social and
educational appearances at the
weekly “Yappy Hour” on Main
Street, said the retiring presi-
dent.
In his final speech, Barr spoke
of the stress of working with
abused, neglected and unwanted
animals.
“I’ve been actively caring for the
welfare of our pets for 62 years,”
he said. “Always, everywhere,

“This is an assault on women’s health, and a play for political points. The Virginia exchange is supposed to
State make health care more accessible, not less. This is an undue burden placed on women.” - Delegate Charn-
iele Herring, D-Alexandria

Lawmakers uphold ban on some private abortion coverage

By Erica Terrini
Capital News Service
RICHMOND – Abortion will
not be covered by certain pri-
vate insurance plans in Virginia
after the General Assembly on
Wednesday (April 6) upheld
Gov. Bob McDonnell’s amend-
ments to Virginia’s Healthcare
Exchange Act. The General As-
sembly on Wednesday night ap-
proved the governor’s propos-
als to ban private insurers from
covering abortions if they par-
ticipate in Virginia’s health-care
exchange program.
The House of Delegates voted
59-36 in favor of McDonnell’s
amendments. The Senate dead-
locked 20-20, but Lt. Gov. Bill
Bolling, the chamber’s presiding
offer, broke the tie by voting for
the restrictions on abortion cov-
erage.
The votes occurred during the
assembly’s “reconvened session,”
a one-day meeting to consider
vetoes and changes that McDon-
nell made to legislation passed
earlier this year.
Lawmakers upheld McDon-
nell’s amendments despite pro-
tests from Delegate Charniele
Herring, D-Alexandria, and
abortion rights advocacy groups.
They held a press conference
Tuesday to protest the Republi-
can governor’s attempt to pro-
hibit abortion coverage by insur-
ers participating in the exchange
to be created as part of the feder-
al government’s new health care
law.
“This is an assault on women’s
health, and a play for political
points,” Herring said. “The Vir-
ginia exchange is supposed to
make health care more acces-
sible, not less. This is an undue
burden placed on women.”
Last week, McDonnell amend-
ed House Bill 2434, which had
been introduced by Delegate
Terry Kilgore, R-Gate City. The
bill allows the state to enact a
health care exchange under the
federal legislation.
The federal law already prohib-

its tax dollars from funding abor-
tions except in the case of rape or
incest or if the woman’s life is at
risk. McDonnell’s amendments
will apply such restrictions to
private insurance offered through
the Virginia health exchange.
McDonnell’s amendment states
“that no qualified health insur-
ance plan that is sold or offered
for sale through an exchange
established or operating in the
commonwealth shall provide
coverage for abortions, regard-
less of whether such coverage
is provided through the plan or
is offered as a separate optional
rider thereto.”
The amendment would allow
abortion coverage only “when

gered by a physical disorder, 2010.” Virginia has filed a lawsuit

the face of tradition,” Herring
said.
At the press conference, Her-
ring was joined by such groups
as NARAL Virginia, Planned
Parenthood Virginia, the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union of Vir-
ginia and the Virginia Chapter
of the National Organization for
Women. Herring and the orga-
nizations’ representatives wore
purple ribbons to represent re-
productive freedom.
“It was absolutely necessary to
call attention to something that
is the greatest government in-
trusion to women’s health care,”
said Jessica Honke, director of
public policy for Planned Parent-
hood Virginia. “Private insurance
companies should not be told
what they cannot cover, and this
is health insurance that women
currently have that will be taken
away from them.”
However, groups such as the
Family Foundation supported
McDonnell’s amendments.
“Without a change like the gov-
ernor’s amendment, pro-life citi-
zens opposed to abortion will be
mandated to fund this unethical
destruction of human life,” said
Virginia Cobb, the foundation’s
president.
This is the second time in re-
cent weeks that abortion has
been the focus of debate in the
General Assembly.
In late February, legislators
narrowly passed a bill that clas-
sifies clinics where first-trimes-
ter abortions are performed as
hospitals and holds them to the
same standards on “construction,
maintenance, operation, staffing,
equipping, staff qualifications
and training.” Abortion rights
advocates say that measure, Sen-

ate Bill 924, will force most of
Virginia’s 21 clinics to close. Mc-
Donnell signed the bill into law.
The votes on SB 924 mirrored
Wednesday’s votes on McDon-
nell’s amendments to restrict
abortion insurance coverage.
The amendments easily passed
in the House, where Republi-
cans have a solid majority. In the
Senate, two Democrats – Phillip
Puckett of Tazewell and Charles
Colgan of Manassas – joined
with the 18 Republicans to form
a 20-20 tie. Bolling, a Republi-
can who as lieutenant governor
presides over the Senate, then
settled the issue.

Legislative summary - governor overturned on PBS funding
Senate supports ‘Big Bird’ over McDonnell cuts to public broadcasting
Big Bird and friends’ PBS home remains funded in Vir-
ginia.
By Fletcher Babb
Capital News Service
RICHMOND – The state Senate
has ensured that Virginians will
still ask that age-old question:
“Can you tell me how to get to
Sesame Street?”
The Senate on Wednesday night
(April 6) overturned Gov. Bob
McDonnell’s proposal to eliminate
state funding for public broadcast-
ing over the next two years.
The Senate’s 27-13 vote doesn’t
alter the 10 percent cut in funding
for public broadcasting approved
by the General Assembly during
its regular session in February.
However, senators rebuffed
McDonnell’s call to eliminate fully
half of the money that public ra-
dio and television stations would
receive during the coming fiscal
year – and the remaining half the
following year. The governor’s of-
fice said his plan would save tax-
payers $4.2 million.

The House of Delegates upheld
McDonnell’s budget amendment
to phase out state funding for
public broadcasting. However, the
amendment dies if one chamber
rejects it – as the Senate did.
The votes came during the Gen-
eral Assembly’s “reconvened ses-
sion,” a one-day meeting to con-
sider vetoes, changes to legislation
and budget amendments made by
the governor.
In all, the House and Senate
upheld 66 of the governor’s 86
amendments to the budget. The
other 20 were nixed.
Abortion Rights
But if Virginia didn’t legis-
late Sesame Street and its pub-
lic broadcasting home out of the
state’s fiscal realm, it did pass
– barely – two controversial bills,

tributing state funds to sexual ab-
stinence education.
The Republican-controlled
House had easily passed McDon-
nell’s abortion-restricting mea-
sure on a 61-36 vote. But the issue
was the subject of heated debate
in the Senate, where Democrats
hold a slim majority.
With two Democrats, Phillip
Puckett of Tazewell and Charles
Colgan of Manassas, voting with
the Republican minority in favor
of the restriction the Senate result
was a tie vote. That tie was broken
by Republican Lt. Gov. Bill Bol-
ling, allowing the restriction to
pass. Other than in cases of rape,
incest or life-threatening health
concerns, the provision blocks
insurance coverage for abortion
from private carriers participating
in Virginia’s health-care exchange
program.

Environmental Fines
Two of the governor’s four ve-

sembly upheld both of them.
One bill would have allowed the
state Department of Environmen-
tal Quality to impose civil penal-
ties of up to $30,000. The other bill
would have authorized the State
Water Control Board to impose
a civil penalty of up to $1,000 on

The Senate upheld McDonnell’s
veto of a bill that would have re-

education in elementary and mid-

The measure was widely criti-
cized as an unfunded burden on

Wolf to host April forum on stink bug infestation
Washington, D.C. – Rep. Frank
Wolf (VA-10) will host a forum to
discuss efforts under way to ad-
dress the infestation of the brown
marmorated stink bug and its im-
pact on the local economy.
The forum is free and open to
the public and is scheduled for
7 – 9 p.m. on Monday, April 18,
in the auditorium of Woodgrove
High School, located at 36811
Allder School Road in Purcell-
ville.
“Though some may think of the
stink bug as only an annoying
household nuisance, I am well
aware of the devastating impact
that this invasive species is hav-
ing on all crops,” Wolf said. “I en-
courage all local apple and grape
growers, farmers and nursery
owners to attend and participate
in the discussion.”
Brown marmorated stink bugs
feed on numerous fruits and veg-
etables such as apples, cherries
and tomatoes.  One study con-
ducted in Georgia revealed a $27
million loss of crops in a single
year due to the damage caused by
the brown stink bug.
The forum will feature pre-
sentations from two leaders in
the effort to attack this growing

State
Citizens decry ‘Gerrymandering’ in redistricting
By Tracy Kennedy
Capital News Service
RICHMOND – Community
leaders and concerned citizens
turned out en masse Monday to
protest proposed redistricting
maps at the General Assembly’s
final public hearing.
“Because of elections this year,
unlike in most states, the redis-
tricting timetable here is short,”
Sen. Janet Howell, D-Reston,
explained as she led the Senate
Committee on Privileges and
Elections’ public forum. “It’s only
been one month since Virginia
received corrected census num-
bers.”
Howell; Sen. John Watkins, R-
Midlothian; Delegate Chris Jones,
R-Suffolk; and Delegate Jim Mor-
rissey, D-Highland Springs, all
plan on submitting their redis-
tricting maps for consideration
by the House and Senate over the
next few weeks.
Citizens from Hanover County
accused Howell’s map of being
partisan and faulted her for split-
ting the county into thirds.
“We have a specific commu-
nity in Hanover, and for the little
country town of Ashland to be
paired with the urban centers of
Richmond and Varina doesn’t
seem right to anyone that I’ve
talked to,” said Angela Kelly-
Wiecek, head of the Hanover Re-
publican Committee.
“I believe this is an egregious
miscarriage of representation in
every sense. I urge you to go back
to the go back to the drawing
board.”
“To me, [gerrymandering] is
from another age,” said Todd
Vander Pol, a businessman from
Hanover. “I really didn’t expect to

see it, but when I look at North-
ern Virginia, the Tidewater and
Central Virginia, it seems silly
and outrageous.”
Residents from Virginia Beach
also voiced concerns, saying they
would lose a Senate seat and mi-
nority representation would be
diluted.
“I want to remind you that the
commonwealth of Virginia stands
for the commonwealth of all of
its citizens,” Venus Marshall, a
Virginia Beach resident, said as
she appealed to the committee to
ensure that minorities would re-
ceive representation. “Take that
commitment to honor the people
that entrusted you to make these
decisions.”
“You want a yardstick for gerry-
mandering?” Carl Wright, anoth-
er Virginia Beach resident asked
the committee. “Come to our city!
It’s been gerrymandered, ger-
rymandered, re-gerrymandered,
and gerrymandered again ...
“I’m asking you all today, when
you look at the city of Virginia
Beach, please consider all of the
citizens with a fair and true rep-
resentation. That’s all I ask.”
The hearing was held by the

House and Senate elections com-
mittees as the General Assembly
convened for a special session
on redistricting. Every 10 years,
legislators must redraw political
boundaries to account for popu-
lation changes reflected in new
census numbers.
Minorities from various parts
of Virginia spoke at the hearing,
appealing to the committee to
consider their growing numbers
in the state.
“I’m here to talk about the La-
tino community in Virginia. We
have yet to elect a Latino to this
distinguished body,” said An-
drew Rivera, an attorney from
Alexandria and president of the
Democratic Latino Organization
of Virginia. “I urge that we con-
centrate and not dilute the Latino
community in your districts.”
“They don’t feel like there’s rep-
resentation there,” said Alex Var-
gas, another redistricting critic.
“They don’t feel like there’s a rea-
son to vote because they’re not
seeing changes in their commu-
nities.”

Invasion of Common Reed in Chesa-

some cultures around the world be-
cause of its economic and social ben-
efits. Mr. Whigham has been studying
the rapid expansion of common reed
in the bay and is finding the expan-
sion could result in eventual coloniza-
tion of all brackish tidal wet lands. He
will discuss how effective manage-
ment may still be possible to prevent
this colonization.

Dear Stewart,
What’s happening this year for Ar-
bor Day?
The Porter Family
Dear Porters,
This year we are celebrating the of-
ficial part of Arbor Day on Saturday,
April 16th, at 9:00 a.m. at the Happy
Creek Arboretum across from the
Flea Market on Commerce Avenue.
sory Council and the Tree Stewards
really work hard to make this hap-
pen. All public officials and inter-
ested citizens are invited to attend.
The children’s program, “Trees R
Cool” that is usually held following
this ceremony is scheduled for May
16th.
When I hear more about the plans
for this event, I’ll let you know.
Did you know that Arbor Day
started in Nebraska back in April
Michigan who became the editor of
the state’s first newspaper and spread
his enthusiasm for trees to his read-
ers. It was Mr. Morton’s birthday,
April 22nd, which was chosen for
the permanent observance date.
The most common date for the
state observances is the last Friday
in April, but other Fridays are used
for scheduling activities and to co-
incide with the best tree planting
weather.
The Front Royal/Warren County
Tree Steward program has been in ex-
istence since 1997. With 24 certified
tree stewards and 7new interns, they
are volunteers dedicated to improving
the health of trees by providing educa-
tional programs, tree planting and care
demonstrations, and tree maintenance
assistance throughout the community.
Through classroom training and hands-
on practice, Tree Stewards learn the
basics of tree biology and physiology,
tree identification, planting, and mainte-
