Loving Arms assists with Loaves and Fishes pro

By Carol Ballard

Warren County Report

A new ood pantry has openedin the basement o the HospitalityHouse at Loving Arms Assisted Liv-ing to help serve the needs o eligibleolks rom Warren and surroundingcounties.

Its name is Loaves and Fishes, andit is based on the bible story about amiracle perormed by Jesus Christturning a ew loaves o bread andsome sh into a east big enough toeed hundreds o hungry people. oShelly Cook, RN, ounder and direc-tor o Loving Arms, the point is thattheres always enough.

Its been a dream o mine to helpthe community and eed the poor,

she said.Shelly and volunteers Megan Per-

rero, who perorms managerial andintake duties and, Patrick Johnson,who is executive che and chie di-etary manager or Loving Arms, wereall gathered in the basement store-house, and enthusiastically went oversome o the details o the operation.

Megan said that since the pan-try opened on Ash Wednesday lastmonth, it has served 47 people- ap-proximately 30 a day. Patrick com-mented on the sharing aspect o theprogram. We depot here todaywe sent 1900 lbs o ood to MadisonCounty. So ar weve also shared oodwith Luray, Woodstock, Stanley,

and Rappahannock County, but themajority is given to Front Royal, hesaid, and added, Its about workingtogether or the common cause orhumanity.

Shelly said that the project got othe ground initially because she wasapproached by representatives o theArlington diocese o Catholic Chari-ties who wanted to know whetherthey could assist with Loving Armsneeds. Tey have since brought helpto Loaves and Fishes and give mone-tary support, but Shelly, with the help

o volunteers, is essentially respon-

sible or the day-to-day operations.Tey also work with Father Fasanoo Front Royals St. Johns CatholicChurch, who, she said, oers an ex-tended hand as well.

I thank the Catholic charities, butI rst thank God. Hes the reasonwere here. We couldnt do it withouthim, Shelly said. Megan also com-municates with other churches to letthem know about a program Shellycharacterizes as a humanitarian acto all Faiths coming together, to worktogether to stop hunger.

Tere is also secular help. Once amonth they get ood rom the UnitedStates Department o Agriculture(USDA) and also buy rom the BlueRidge Food Bank at a reduced rate.

Food is also donated through com-mercial enterprises and Big Boxstores.

Were trying to augment some othe governments programs that a

amily may not qualiy or, she said.And some o the elderly are not aswell taken care o by the standardservices. Patrick said, One conse-quence o the system is that ami-lies with children get help and olderpeople get tanked. For example, oneclient told them that he receives $684in Social Security per month and iseligible only or $14 a month in oodstamps.

Its not about criticizing the gov-ernment programs, but just abouthelping others. Its not my job toknow how much money they have, orhow many cars are in their drive way,Shelly said.

Shelly wanted to emphasize thatthere is not as much abuse o the

system by people in need as someskeptics think. She said, Its not truepeople go rom pantry to pantry. We

have people here who want to giveback. We have people volunteering.

One lady goes to Food Lion and col-lects bakery items and brings themhere and others have stepped up aswell. Someone came here who wason Disability and couldnt hold a joband he comes here and helps. It eelsgood getting to help other people.

Also, no one is made to eel un-welcome and there is dignity in theprocess o collecting ood and otheritems. At the entry, there are shop-ping carts, so people can choosetheir own ood. Some special itemsare just or kids. Teres a snack binwhere they can get a bag and countout snacks or a week . Tere are evencoloring books or them. Tat was

Editor:

I saw Rogers article about thespeed limits, where he apolo-gized to the FRPD, because

no one stepped orward to saythat they had a ticket rom 1 to9 miles over the speed limit inareas with questionable mphzones. I read your paper everyissue - I didnt see anythingasking or people to send in

their experience with tractickets. My guess is the reasonhe didnt get any responses isbecause other readers missedit too.

While I have never receiveda ticket in these zones - I dowant to point out an impor-tant issue regarding these lowspeed limits. Most peopleagree that the speed limits donot match the type o road.

I you were to bring in 100experienced drivers, and al-low them to drive the roads,I would estimate 90 o themwould be really surprised to

learn that the speed limit is5.Lets assume that the FRPD

gives drivers the 10 and un-der cushion, and only ticketspeople driving 11 mph andover the posted limit. Teproblem that really concernsme is that anyone caught driv-ing 0 mph or more in thesespeed zones gets a recklessdriving ticket. In my drivingexperience, there is absolutelyNOHING reckless aboutdriving 45 on these stretcheso roads in Front Royal. Areckless driving ticket haslong repercussions to thedriver - it gives them 6 points

on their drivers stays on their drat least ve years.to the higher nesdriving, it also

J.D. Striker ound dead in Front Royal on ApriUnexpected death o ormer FRPD ocer raises memories, strong emotio

By Dan McDermott& Roger BianchiniWarren County Report

JD Striker, a retired Front RoyalPolice Corporal and one-time can-didate or Warren County Sheridied unexpectedly on Sunday, April17.

Front Royal Police Chie RichardFurr said that police were called toan in-town location at about 7 a.m.that day. When ocers respondedthey discovered the 54-year-oldStrikers body. Police do not view thedeath as suspicious, Furr said.

Furr and other members o FRPD,where Striker was an ocer or 5

years prior to his 006 retirement,attended an emotional April Me-morial Service at Maddox FuneralHome as a uniormed group. Strikerwas FRPD Ocer o the Year in1988.

Shortly ater his retirement Strikerunsuccessully challenged incum-

bent Daniel McEathron or War-ren County Sheri. Striker litedeyebrows during that campaign byraising the specter o the possiblelocation o never-recovered evi-dence a weapon related to thestill unsolved 1983 murder o FRPDSgt. Dennis Smedley.

Striker was the FRPD ocer whorst conronted and brought inor questioning the initial suspectin Smedleys murder, Kenny Fos-ter. Foster, a local with a history osometimes volatile physical con-rontations with Smedley, was triedand acquitted o Smedleys Septem-ber 1983 murder in December othat year.

Striker, like other ocers close tothe initial investigation o Smedleysmurder, have told this reporter overthe years they doubted Fosters in-volvement despite the initial depart-mental ocus on Foster as the solesuspect even in the ace o confict-ing inormation during the tenure o

then Chie Milton Robinson.In 199 a second man, Jamaican

national Locksley Fowler was alsotried and acquitted o Smedleysmurder. Tat investigation spear-headed by the WCSO attempted topinpoint Fowler as a contract killero Smedley.

Following his unsuccessul bid orsheri, Striker himsel ran aoul othe law when he, and later his wie,aced charges related to a domesticdispute involving their son Brianon the amilys remote, rural homeproperty in southern Warren Coun-ty.

Brian Striker later called chargeseventually leveled against both his

ather and mother related to theincident unnecessary and possiblyeven vindictive in nature.

Special treatment?

I think it was blown way out oproportion. I am disappointed in the

way the commonwealth has handledit. All amilies have problems. Butright o the bat it seems like theytried to pin [my ather] up to thepost rather than help, then 9-year-old Brian Striker told this paperin December 008. I believed mymom had threatened to kill hersel.But my dad didnt know that and hedidnt know why I was beating onthe van Ten when my ather ap-pealed the rst plea agreement be-cause [o the jail time] the reactionwas like youre not going to play by

or charges o brandishing a rearmwere dropped. Following the circuitcourt plea, Striker served one monthunder house arrest and paid a $00ne. Striker said he had simply reda gun into the air to attract his sons

attention and get him to stop beat-ing on a van his mother had lockedhersel in to escape the domesticdispute.

Like his son, JD Striker expresseddismay with how the local criminal justice system treated the amily,particularly his wie, at the time.

Im a little sick o these judges andprosecutors playing political andtheatrical roles solely or the press.o me they seem to orget wherethey come rom. Tese days its just ajob or them that they perorm with-out eeling or caring, Striker toldthis reporter in December 008.

Due to Strikers background inlocal law enorcement, a specialprosecutor, Glenn R. Williamson,

o Frederick County was brought in

to handle the case. While no amilymember or any citizen ever lodged acomplaint against Mrs. Striker, vemonths ater the act she was indict-ed on a elony charge o attemptedmalicious wounding o her husband.

Te charge carried the potential orom a year in jail to a maximum10-year prison sentence. At thetime, Special Prosecutor William-son explained the state could pursuecharges on its own initiative basedon inormation in its possession.

Both Mrs. Strikers attorney, Mi-chael Greenan, and the Strikeramily contended the basis o Mrs.Strikers prosecution was her ownstatement to authorities at the timeo the domestic incident in July 008.Greenan said the charge against hisclient was essentially the result o amisunderstanding during what hadprimarily been an argument be-tween Mrs. Striker and her son.

At the time o the October 008

grand jury indictments the Strikers

appeared together in court with JDStrikers brother, Jack, adding emo-tional support. JD Striker com-orted his wie, who appeared visiblyshaken by the new indictment theamily was anticipating against her.

But three months ater those in-dictments were handed down andve weeks ater her husbands pros-ecution was resolved by the secondplea agreement, that one withoutjail time, so was Mrs. Strikers.

On Jan. 13, 009, Cathy Sue Strik-er pled guilty to a reduced charge osimple assault, a Class One misde-meanor. Mrs. Striker received a 30-day suspended sentence and paidcourt costs.

Less than a year and a hal aterthis controversial episode in local judicial history was concluded, theStriker amily and many o his pastpersonal and proessional associatesbid an emotional arewell to JDStriker.

By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report

I think we can saely say this wasthe local storm o the century ocourse the century is only a decadeold but enough with the Aprilshowers already, please!!!

While it was now two weeks ago,the memory o the April 16 rains,fooding and damage that led to astatewide State o Emergency be-ing declared by Gov. Bob McDon-

nell remain resh in many minds. Inact, beore we went to press againollowing the rains o April 16, thegovernor had declared a secondState o Emergency (see related

press releases) due to the April 7storm ront that dropped atal tor-nadoes on southern Virginia aterdevastating Alabama and ennes-see.

Te own o Front Royal releasedan April 17 press release on impactsrom the April 16 rain event thatbrought some o the worst in-townfooding some locals say they haveseen or heard about since the early1940s or maybe 1985 or 1996.

Tankully I guess I was here

only or the 1996 storm that broughta comparable 4 inches or so o rainhere in a 4-hour period. However,that 1996 rain was coupled withthe melting o the nal 15 inches o

what had been a 38-inch snow re-sulting in what was described as a700-year fooding o the Shenan-doah River. In act, I think Ive beenhere or 100 and 00 year foods aswell, aging me over 900 years sincemy 1986 arrival in Front Royal.

What raised eyebrows, along withcreek and stream levels in these

parts on April 16, 011, was the ex-tent o fooding on East Main Streetand all along Happy Creek romCriser Road through the ProspectStreet area, to 8th Street and Ger-trude Miller Park and Bing CrosbyStadium.

Tis prayer service is a Christianevent in which pastors and lay lead-ers rom local churches participateeach year. Prayers are directed tothe leaders o our local, state andnational governments, the people othe local community, state and coun-try. In the past, Front Royals mayor,town manager and police chie haveall been a part o the program.

Te Front Royal National Day oPrayer community service was rstorganized in 001 by a committeeo local Christians who wished to

make this an annual event in FrontRoyal. Tis group has been led byDenni Giovinazzo, assisted by Che-rie Ray and David Lingebach. Teyconsider it essential that the diver-sied Christian community cometogether to pray, believing that thereis much spiritual strength in the lo-

Warren County Report

I was in the drug store the otherday. I needed some, well, thats not

important.

Its for a friend of mine, I said to

the teenage girl behind the counter,

intentionally avoiding all eye con-

tact.

Uh huh, she said rather uncon-

vincingly, as if she hadnt heard that

one before.

I hurriedly put away my wallet and

bolted for the door.

She said something as I was al-

most outside, although I didnt stop

to hear what it was.

Drug stores are not for the faint

of heart, or those who embarrasseasily, like myself. I thought I knew

what kind of products they carried,

but it wasnt until I took a closer look

that I realized theres a lot more on

those shelves than aspirin and Band

Got ear wax? Then hear this.

Head down to your local pharmacy

and check out all the removal op-

How about pain? They got stuff

for that too, including some products

containing emu oil. I pity the poor

emu who donated their oil. Ill bet

that was painful. Kind of ironic huh?

How would you like to be an emu oil

Flaky, itchy skin? Quit scratching

Governor: State o Emergencyater Severe Weather

ornados, possible atalities reported in wake o April 16 stormRICHMOND Governor Bob McDonnell declared a state oemergency in response to the April 16 severe weather across the

Commonwealth, authorizing state agencies to assist local eortsin response and recovery eorts to a series o severe storms thatproduced high winds, fash fooding, power outages, structuraldamage, and a mudslide in southwestern Virginia.

I have declared a state o emergency to direct all possible re-sources towards responding to this event, McDonnell said o hisdecision. Administration ocials [were] dispatched to areas oimpact to assess damage and assist local recovery eorts. In thedays ater the tornados in Pulaski, we saw hundreds o Virginianscome together to aid their ellow citizens who were impacted bythe tragedy in the region. I want to thank the brave rst respond-ers and state and local ocials who have moved switly to beginthe recovery process ollowing these most recent events.

Tough not immediately identied as storm related, six deathspotentially weather related were reported, one in Page County,two in Waynesboro and three in Gloucester.Governor McDonnell initially traveled to Gloucester County to

tour the storm damage and meet with residents, local ocialsand rst responders.

A state o emergency is declared under state law so that stateresources can be made available. Te Governors emergency dec-laration ensured a ully coordinated state response to support lo-cal initial recovery eorts. A declaration also decreases time andpaperwork needed to get personnel, equipment and supplies onscene.

During the April 5 councilmeeting, Councilman om Conk-ey reerenced the result o the townsurvey pertaining to a proposedswitch rom May to Novembertown elections.

While not recalling the exactnumbers, Conkey indicated a sig-

nicant majority o responses a- voring the switch to November.Conkey and Shae Parker were theinitial proponents o a change toNovember town elections.

om Sayre has since slid o his50-50 ence o constant lobbyingagainst the change to say he nowavors a switch to November elec-tions.

Te ollowing day, April 6, the

town managers oce released asummary o the entire survey, in-

cluding service, unding and inra-structure issues. Te result o theelection date portion o the surveywas 556 responses or Novem-ber, 60 avoring sticking with thestand-alone May elections. In all95 surveys were returned, so 109citizens returning surveys did notexpress an opinion.

At issue now is how the threeremaining council proponents osticking with the low-turnout Mayelections Vice-Mayor Chris Hol-loway, Carson Lauder and HollisTarpe, as well as an as yet pub-licly ence-sitting Mayor im Darr will be impacted by the result.

Other than the comments below,

eorts to reach that council quar-tet or comment prior to publica-tion were unsuccessul.

Hollis Tarpe replied to our e-mail query, saying, Te town sur-

vey was going to go out to get eed

back on our town services, alongwith other services that we wanted

to know how our citizens are think-ing about. However, the questionabout moving o the May electionswas added to see how much inter-est is out there to make a change inour election month.

Te survey to me was no morethan a survey it is sad that somepeople have turned that sur-

vey question into a political is-sue. Te survey was not a vote tomove our election to November orkeep them the way they are. How-

ever, I do agree thaelections to Novem

Tings got a bit snippy as theFront Royal own Council dis-cussed aspects o its proposed$36.9 million budget during anApril 18 work session.

At the point o the snippinesswas the proposed cut o the as-sistant town attorneys position.Tat cut was one aspect o a storyon reduced revenues rom tra-c tickets cited in the results oour town speeding ticket surveystory in our last issue.

I read in Rogers rag (we love you too, Shae) that George wasgoing to be let go due to reducedtrac prosecutions, Shae Park-er commented o the proposedcut o Assistant own AttorneyGeorge Sonnett.

own Attorney om Robinett

replied to Parkers comments andquestions about the source o therecommended cut by stating itwas his recommendation as de-partment head. Striking a deen-sive and aggressive pose, Robinettalso insinuated the reerencednewspaper story was somehowlacking breadth or accuracy. Yes, the trac case count andassociated revenue was down,Robinett replied to Parker; BUthats not the only reason or therecommended cut, he added.

Te town attorney then ex-plained, as did our reerencedstory, that planning and zoningissues Sonnett also handles weredown as well. Robinett added thathours at evening planning andzoning meetings Sonnett oncehandled or him were no longernecessary either.

And as our story also did, thetown attorney reerenced criti-cism rom the council-commis-

Council, Robinett spar over proposed cut o assistant attoSnow equipment expenditure, manager reclassifcation also scrutinized

Shae Parker, left, may have opened a legal department can of worms by ques-tioning the rationale for Town Attorney Tom Robinetts suggestion to drop theassistant town attorney position he requested three years ago from the townbudget. Robinett, right, said the reduction of trafc case revenues from $389,000in 2009 to a projected number under $300,000 this year, as well as a reduction inplanning and zoning requests, make the $65,000 a year and benets position notscally efcient. It appears perhaps four councilmen - Parker, Conkey, Lauderand Vice-Mayor Holloway - disagree.

I dont want to see a similarsituation. You have someonetrained or three years i things

Id like to keep it in the budget,the vice mayor stated.

Carson Lauder suggested und-ing the assistant town attorneyposition partially through the

planning and zoning departmentsince that was where some o hiswork originated. Lauder addedthat perhaps issues such as therecent ti with downtown mer-chants over Open fag sign or-

dinances might be better servedby an attorney.

Its a shame to get rid o some-one youve trained or threeyears, the vice mayor added.

paid superintendent, rather thana reclassied salaried manage-ment position.

During the discussion it wasexplained that superintendentslike Pennington oten were called

in or night and overtime workto deal with service emergencies.With those positions reclassi-ed as exempt employee sala-ried managers, the town wouldnot have to pay overtime hourlyrates.

Acting own Manager SteveBurke called the recommendedreclassication an attempt tofatten the organization butadmitted that or three or ouremployees in similar tenuredpositions o 30 years, the changecould mean signicant losses oovertime pay.

Finance Director Kim Gilkey-Breeden added that there weresome benets to compensate orthat lost pay. Among those ben-ets were three additional paiddays o and the ability to clock

out early or things like doctorsappointments without losinghourly pay.

She also said a perhaps bene-cial development would be thatthose superintendents so reclas-sied would begin training anddelegating emergency responseduties to lower level employees.

Te consequent fattening othe organization would be bet-ter trained lower level employeesresponding to emergencies at alower O pay scale, and an eas-ing o those emergency responseresponsibilities on the more ten-

ured and better salaried manage-ment personnel.

Reerencing his background inthe private sector when I hada real job, Conkey said while

he had been salaried, on specialprojects requiring additionalhours he had been paid an hourlyscale with consequent O pay.

such dual pay scales or some em-ployees, but not others at similaror the same management levelswould create additional prob-lems, possibly crossing the FairLabor Standards Act reerenced

by the town attorney during thediscussion.

Te mayor said employeesmight be put into a position ochoosing a salaried managementposition or hourly eld work one,as well as the respective dutiesand pay scales and systems.

Tarpe just suggested eliminat-ing the change altogether romthe budget.

Gassed?

Shae Parker questioned thetowns employee vehicle take-home policy. With U.S. gas pricesorecast to climb between $4 and$5 in the coming months, Parkerwanted an explanation o whoand why took town vehicles homeand was the town compensated ithose vehicles were used on per-sonal business ater work hours.

Burke replied that on-call em-ployees, including ones discussed

in the previous salary-classica-tion conversation, were allowedto take their town vehicles home.He estimated the number o thoseemployees at 14. Te rationalewas to save time in emergency

call responses. Te acting townmanager added that, yes, therewas a system to separate personaland business use o such vehicles(you reckon?).

Parker replied to Burkes expla-nation by suggesting the town andits department heads makes surethat all necessary emergency re-sponse equipment be taken homewith those vehicles to ensure therationale o improved responsetime was, indeed, achieved.

Mayor Darr said that while hewasnt a big proponent o takehome vehicles, that where theyare necessary, and in all situa-tions, the town should stress toits employees that reduced uel

consumption is a priority oours.

Reducing excessive idling timeduring work stops and timelytune ups were suggested by themayor as additional means odealing with rising uel costs.

Conkey suggested includinguel expenditures as part o thecalculation o various EnterpriseFund balances that support thetowns service and utility depart-ments.
