Charity clothing bins - good cause or get-rich scheOut-o-state, non-prots may be pocketing millions while doing little or charity
By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
Since last year you may have seenthem sprouting like weeds theblue bins claiming to be charitableClothes and Shoes DonationsCenters.Sounds harmless enough and
they always seem to be at highlytraveled and convenient locations.Te ones I was initially aware o,rst two, then three in the RoyalPlaza Shopping Center in ront oK-mart, are oten overowing intothe parking lot despite the admon-ishment to Please do not leave anyitems outside the bin.Others have since cropped up in
locations, including the car washat Fith Street on Commerce Av-enue, the old Jiy Lube at NorthRoyal and 14th Street, and the re-opened Liberty Gas Station at 5thStreet and North Royal Avenue.
However, a reader inquiry aboutexactly who was collecting andwhat charity was proting romthese collection bins led us to acloser inspection o the inorma-tion on the bins.
Te donated items will be soldand ater expenses Charity re-ceives guaranteed xed monthlyrevenue without risk o nancialloss, the second paragraph underthe logo o the Childhood DiseaseResearch Foundation (CDRF)reads. Te CDRF logo was on allthe boxes we ound around FrontRoyal.Hmm, ater expenses Charity
receives guaranteed xed monthlyrevenue immediately raised alarmbells.Okay, Im used to seeing used
clothes and what not sold to thebenet o a charity or civic orga-nization operating discount stores
LOCALLY. Among those thatinitially come to mind are Te Sal-
vation Army Store on South Street,the Abused Womens Shelter Sec-ond Chance Store and Blue RidgeHospice Trit Store, both on EastMain Street.But Charity capitalized in a
third-person context under the
logo o an alleged medical researchoundation o unknown locationstruck this cynic as suspicious.Te rst paragraph on the bin ex-
plained that the CDRF was a non-prot and operating division oOptimal Medical Foundationwhose mission is to provide publicawareness to promote and urtherresearch, treatment and educationprograms on disease aecting chil-dren and adults.Nice, i somewhat vague.Once home, we did on online ex-
ploration o both organizations.CDRF and OPM share a Fremont,
Caliornia mailing address and a(905) 681-3135 phone number. On
websites reerencing it we couldnot nd an OPM website, onlymyriad sites reerencing it OPMis listed as a 501-C-3 non-protwith most recently reported (009)annual revenue o $5,31,406 withassets o $64,415; an asset rangeo $100,000 to $499,999; and an in-come range o $5 million to $9.999

Dominion construction
jobs outsourced
Editor,
I am a Warren County resident con-
cerned about the work orce to bebrought in by Zachry ConstructionCorporation (based in exas) or theconstruction o the new Dominionpower plant on the countys north
side. Being a proud Local Union 60pipetter, I contacted my businessagent about who is going to manthe job or construction. He went toZachry Construction on site here andwas told under no uncertain terms
that they will be bringing in theirown work orce rom exas.Like I said, I am a union worker, but
my concern is not about a pro union/non-union issues. Rather, this isabout taking care o our employmentbase in Warren County and Virginia.Warren County is suering 6.3-per-cent unemployment right now. Tisnew plant will take 700-plus con-struction workers to build. My con-cern is why should we be arming allthis work opportunity to out-o-statepeople? When Washington D.C.awards bids or construction proj-ects in the District, it is contingentthat the contractor will use a givenpercentage o the local work orce toman the project.
What Dominion has oered us is a
tiny appeasement deal to satisy lo-cal government that sees the uturetax revenues promised, but orgetsabout the local people struggling tosurvive in this recession. Te tem-porary inux o out o town workers
might help some local businesses ora short period o time, but this doesnothing or the local trade peoplethat are more than qualied to buildthis plant, and who would keep their
income here, insteadback to exas.
We have more thaned people right hebuild this plant. It sein the ace to this cou
work orce that they wconsidered or the job

ALONG HESE LINES
Te Automobile Name G
By Nick Tomas
Do you have ond memories o yourrst car? I dont. And the reason canbe explained in two words: Chevy Ch-evette.
Okay, you can stop laughing now.I know this was not a vehicle that a
young, testosterone-primed male o the
1980s could worship as it rattled alongthe Interstate pow-ered by an enginethat roared like an electric toothbrush.
So ater driving around unknowinglyor weeks with a Ram Me sign some-one had at-tached to the back bumper,I realized it was time to trade up to a
vehicle with a name boasting a littlemore panache a Tunderbird.
Car names are important to automo-bile manuacturers. Tey are keenlyaware that public recognition and ac-ceptance o a name can inuence a ve-hicles commercial success in a highlycompetitive industry.
Consider the Jeep Wrangler a greatearthy name or a car. But the Kia Kick-it probably wouldnt inspire much con-sumer condence.
Vehicles are oten christened withnames that intrigue or arouse our sense
o adventure and excitement. Whatbold driver wouldnt want to be seentrekking through the rugged wilder-ness in a Pathnder, Explorer, Outback,Expedition, or Navigator?
Exotic places also sell cars: Dakota,Monte Carlo, Malibu, Park Avenue, a-hoe, and Yukon all exciting destina-tions and, presumably, exciting cars. ALincoln Lubbock might never make ito the showroom oor.
Ten there are drivers who selectspecic models according to his or herproession.
Cant you see an astronomer behindthe wheel o a Mitsubishi Eclipse; anoptometrist in a Ford Focus; or a pilottaking o in an Isuzu Ascender?
And what proctologist could resistparking a Ford Probe outside the sur-
gery?Te late explorer Sir Edmund Hillarywould have elt right at home climbinginto a Mercury Mountaineer, althoughhe would have been wary about theChevy Avalanche.
And almost certainly the inamousHeidi Fleiss would have treated hergirls to a eet o Escorts.
Te animal kingdom has also beenwell represented in the automobilename game over the years. But not
just any animal oten it is one thatsymbolizes power, strength or speed.So the Mercury Cougar, Dodge Ram,
and Ford aurus workedin name).

said, Steal, burn, threats makebad things happen.Te CBC report noted driv-

Saporito opened with an explora-tion o a cancer research undrais-ing tandem similar to the OMF/CDRF relationship: Its not that
the National Breast Cancer Re-search Center is a scam. Its morelike a charity within a charity, runby an organization called the Walk-er Cancer Research Institute. Teparent organization, based in Ab-erdeen, Md., dutiully les tax re-turns that show it raised $1.7 mil-lion in 009 and spent 5 percento it on undraising. Te returnalso reports that the organizationspent exactly $487,505, or about 4percent o its income, on research
most o it or probing plant lieor anticancer compounds. Giventhat kind o research commitment,the group is unlikely to make sig-nicant advances anytime soon.Tat said, Saporito continued,
Walker has a better chance o ac-complishing something than the
National Charity or Cancer Re-search, part o the Optimal Med-ical Foundation Inc. in Fremont,
Cali. Te group gathered $5.3 mil-lion in 009, o which zero seemsto have gone toward research.

between April 30, 008 and April30, 009. O that amount, $106,346(15 percent) was reported receivedby charity.Te WJBK FOX Detroit V re-
port stated, Tere are some o the
drop boxes that are out and posi-tioned in various locations that areor prot businesses where theybasically take the goods and thensell them, and thats their prot,Moseley said. Te report contin-ued, Looking closer at a Child-hood Disease Research Founda-
tion donation box, in the secondparagraph it states that donateditems deposited will be sold andater expenses the charity gets rev-enue Many times or prot com-panies will team up with charitiesso those organizations are gettingsome money, but, o course, itsreally a prot organization thatsrunning the whole thing.
While the Detroit V reportnoted that some municipal gov-ernments have passed codes thatdo not allow such drop boxes tobe placed in their community, thatis apparently not the case here in
Front Royal and Warren County.
A business proposition
According to Janice Hart, whomanages tenant relations at RoyalPlaza Shopping Center where Irst saw the CDRF drop boxes, sheencountered no local code require-ments when approached about ac-quiring rental space or the dropboxes in the Royal Plaza parkinglot. Hart told us the space or theboxes is essentially leased by theproperty owner to the box pro-
vider much as store ront space is.Hart, who is also the FRPD Com-munity Relations Specialist, said to
her knowledge there were no localmunicipal code regulations thatapplied to the boxes since they areleased on private property. Bothtown and county ocials were ex-amining any applicable local codes
that might apply to the boxes whenwe went to press.While Hart said she chooses to
donate to local charities like BlueRidge Hospice and the WomensShelter, she pointed out you cantcontrol with whom people choseto donate items like clothes to thebenet o which charitable causes.Well, hopeully a little knowl-
edge will go a long way in helpingpeople make a more inormed de-cision based on what will help themost reputable charities to the ac-tual benet o those in need, par-ticularly in our own community.
Local perspective,
local loss
Here is the part that concernsme, there are community orga-nizations that take donations orthe good o our community, Blue
Ridge Hospice being one, alongwith Goodwill, Salvation Army,Second Chance, C-Cap and Habi-tat or Humanity, just to mentionthe ones that I am aware o, JeaniaAylor o the Blue Ridge HospiceTrit Store says.

Ive been reading your col-umn for several years, al-though Im not sure why.Other than helping to passthe time while sitting on thepot, I dont like it all thatmuch. And my wife thinks
our pet pig is funnier thanyou. Anyway, I need somefinancial advice. I recent-ly came in to some money.
About $219 million, give ortake. I have one of the threewinning Mega Millions lotterytickets. My question is what

One Lucky Dude
Dear Lucky Dude, what a co-incidence. You read my columnwhile taking care of business.Guess where I write it? Con-gratulations on your winnings.Heres what I d do. Give i taway. All of it. And the soonerthe better. Youve heard thestories of lottery winners losingall their money and their lifegoing down the toi let? Dont letthat happen to you. Give mea call. Il l even do you a fa-vor and take some of it off yourhands.
P.S. Ive heard pet pigs arevery funny.
My girlfriend and I have
been dating for almost twoyears. Lately, shes beendropping hints about takingour relationship to the nextlevel. I wasnt ready to, butI really think shes the one.
Should I let her pick it out orshould I surprise her? Whatdo you think? Oh yeah, shelikes Great Danes. I preferChihuahuas .
Dog Gone It
Dear Dog Gone It, hel l i f Iknow. But Id spell everythingout in the prenup.
My family has a problem.
We cant agree on what to
do for our summer vacation.The kids want to go to Dis-ney. My husband mentionedthe pyramids in Egypt . Me, I
just wan t to sit on the beachand read a book. Can youhelp us?
Stressing over Summer
Dear Stressing, this is an easyone. Go to the beach. Tellyour kids when they can pay,they can say. Until then, theyshould be happy youll takethem anywhere. As for yourhusband, the Pyramids? Giveme a break. He can see thoseon Google Maps. Why wastethe time and money goingthere? And if you need a sug-gestion for a good book, checkout one of my favorites. TheBest of Engles Angle.
I love helping people.

Lolas take on Dog Park groundbreakA Siberian Huskys canine perspective o a coming doggie playground
By Lola Barr
Special to WC Report
Well, ater ve years o talkingabout it, ground was nally brokenon the Eastham Park to provide apark or us dogs and, as ar as I know,I was the rst to squat on the grass-- at 9:47 a.m. Saturday, March 31 -- while a bunch o mostly male dogswere out there sning around orprecisely the right spot. So lets hearit or us emales, guys!
By the way, girls and boys, dogso all ages, when the park nallyopens or business (pun not intend-ed), be sure to turn let at the end
o Luray Avenue or youll end up inthe Shenandoah River. I wooed acouple o times at amily matriarchAlene Eastham, and Jim and DeniseEastham, even though Denise is thecurrent Human Society president,but they were too wrapped up inthings to pay me much attention.Denise had a small dog with her, butI didnt pay much attention to himeither so there! Tat past, he toldme his amily had donated the landor the dog park, and the trail, andeverything else that was so beautiularound there. You dogs are gonnalove it!
Details, or the English language,were never my orte in San Antonio,
exas, where I come rom, but orthe record, Ill woo a ew acts aboutour park so you olks owned by usdogs will know where to go (punnot intended) and what the rules arewhen the park is opened to us thissummer (the Warren County DogPark Association needs a ew moredollars beore this will happen, or soI was told).
First, there will eventually be divid-ed areas or big dogs (that includesme, a Siberian Husky) and smalldogs (thats probably most o theothers, including the Easthams dog

Terellbe a bunch o entry gates to get romone enclosure to another (thats whatKelly Walker and her olks need themoney or) but well gure out howto go over or under these ences inno time at all. You bet! For the peo-ple we take to the park, there will benine benches to sit on. I read roma piece o paper lying on the groundthat said, not in dog language, that,apart rom the areas designated towe honored dogs, this was a multipurpose acility that will containathletic elds, trails, (the aoremen-tioned) dog park, a parking lot in-tended to serve the park and boatramp located on an adjacent prop-
erty... I think maybe the boat rampis or those dogs traveling to the dogpark by water.
Tere were a bunch o high a-lootin olks in attendance by 9 a.m.when Doug Stanley, a big name in thehood, began calling the shots on theopening o the Eastham Park rail.He held out the hand o welcome toall o us (which I was tempted to bite,then thought better o it). Several othe biggies stood in a line with pairso scissors and cut a red tape, whichwas a bit strange to we dogs. Also, Idiscovered later, this really had noth-ing to do with us. Te dog park stucame later, but we had to wait alongwith everyone else, to get to the im-portant bit which or many o the 40or so dogs in attendance was whenMayor im Darr announced thetown would donate three used rehydrants to the park association.
Ten the crowd clapped like crazyand we dogs went nuts when LindaGlavis talked about a legacy or gen-erations (and dogs) to come. Lindaused the and dogs part which gotall our attention plus a lot o barks,growling and carrying on. In act, alot o barking, growling and snort-ing made much o the speechiyingincomprehensible to most. We didget to hear the mayors tribute to Ms.Kelly, whom he said was the drivingorce behind the establishment othe dog park so, on a personal note,Id like to thank her in behal o allo Front Royals canines or her workand undraising that she did and isdoing. A group o my male riends
grued and wooed about not orget-ting a vote o thanks or the used
re hydrants. SomeoMcGinnis got a big hthere, so didnt hear it

In retrospect, I bet she andMr. Nicholls chuckled about it later,and at the time we dogs took the op-portunity to quietly thank Ms. Kelly,and tell her the doggie equivalent ogood job!

Wright celebrates a special birthday at South Warren Compa
By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
Recently the South Warren Fire De-partment hosted a very special party.Wright Broadhead, mom Cara, nineo Wrights riends and their parents
visited the Warren County Fire &Rescue Volunteer Fire Company tocelebrate Wrights third birthday.
It was Cara Broadhead and her sonsway o saying thanks to the SouthWarren Fire Company personnel orhelping them toward Wrights third
birthday. Just over two years earlier itwas personnel rom that departmentthat were rst responders to a carwreck a pregnant Cara Broadheadand her not quite two-year-old son
had on an ice-strewn BrowntownRoad.
In a March letter o appreciation toCounty Fire Chie Richard Mabie orthe South Warren companys hostingo her sons birthday party on Feb. 5,Cara Broadhead explained, Withouta doubt, the visit was the highlighto my sons birthday. Whats more,is that we werent just celebratingWrights special day, but also ourcommunity In December 010,my son and I were involved in a caraccident on a dreadully icy Brown-
town Road. Fireghter [Fred] Reyn-olds was a rst responder Beingour months pregnant and with mynearly two year old in the vehicle, Iwas overwrought about their saety
and well being.A lasting impression was o the
kindness and care that I received,
which came ooding back when Isaw Mr. Reynolds again. FireghterReynolds was a calming presence inwhat was denitely the scariest inci-dent o my lie. His concern and careor us reassured me that we were go-ing to be all right. And we were.
In lieu o presents, the amily askedguests at Wrights party to make do-nations to the South Warren Volun-teer Company.
We are happy to report that wewere able to collect $300, CaraBroadhead wrote Chie Mabie, add-ing, Tough just three, my son knewquite well that he was sharing hisbirthday with the reghters. Whenwe advised him we collected a lot omoney, he happily declared, Tis willmake the reghters very happy!
Mrs. Broadhead added that thebirthday party was not only un buteducational Aterwards several othe parents advised that they wentover re saety with their childrenwhen they returned home, adding,Besides educational and just plainun, you may have inadvertently cre-ated a recruitment air since I know
10 toddlers still excited and talkingabout their visit to the re station!
Way to go Company 3 and way to
go, Wright and riends.

River reghter Fred Reynolds, from left to right, are Mi-

In addition to Science, echnology,Engineering and Math (SEM), theBlue Ridge echnical Center, serv-ing both Warren County and Sky-line High students, oers programsto prepare grades 10-1 to enter theworkorce with careers and technicaltrade skills that oer well paying and
rewarding jobs.Te Career echnical Education
(CE) program provides a multi-tude o options or grades 6-1 andsome o the most dedicated instruc-tors and remarkable students that Ihave had the pleasure to meet. Teclasses all eature hands-on projectbased experience. I had a chance totalk to three o the classes and theirinstructors maybe I should reerto them as mentors given their realworld experience and dedication totheir students.
Mr. Devin Smith (Culinary Arts),a 199 graduate o Warren CountyHigh School (WCHS) and the CEprogram, has years o experience at
our own local Soul Mountain Caand Barbeque Shack restaurants, aswell as extensive catering experience.Smith leads a lively class and shareshis joy or cooking and his thirst topass on the tradition. Eric Isner, oneo his students, commented that hewas going into the culinary arts andcredited his instructor. He also statedthat cooking is jus t plain un.
Mike Abel (Electricity and Cabling),a 1988 graduate o WCHS and theCE program, spent 19 years in theeld and credits his instructor (EarlFranken) or inspiring him. His stu-
dents eel the same about him. Sur-rounded by a maze o walls, wires,circuit boards and computers, Miketold me that starting salaries rangerom $3,000 to $36,000. Like therest o the CE program, these are
jobs that cant be outsourced and arealways in need.

More Fairy Godmothers appear or 2012 Glass Slipper Pr
By Carol BallardWarren County Report
Te last day o March, also Distribu-tion Day or the Glass Slipper Project,was a sunny, ower-lled spring day.Balloons danced in the breeze at thedoor o their new home in the BlueRidge echnical Center at the 40Luray Ave. Middle School
Inside, the Fairy Godmothers o theProject were surrounded by moreballoons and volunteers, girls and
boys looking or the right dress orsuit, ood and drink, riends and am-ily, and a joyul party atmosphere.
Te colorul dress, shoe and jewelrycollection reected the sparkle andbeauty o the day outside. Te kind-ness, vision and energy o Pam Wa-ters, Jackie Jenkins, ara Smith andSheri Mitchell-nicknamed the FairyGodmothers-has worked to createa magical place where hundreds ogorgeous ormal dresses and dressysuits or boys, can be accessed orupcoming spring proms.
Some children miss out on theexperience because o the cost. Wewant them to have a good high schoolexperience, Pam said.
Carol Ashley, a junior at WarrenCounty High School, who was therewith her mom Lorie, ound a daz-zling, blue oor-length dress and said
she would wear it once then donateit back to the program. Her schoolsprom theme this year is Masquer-ade, so she tried on a mask, but shesaid shes an art student, so will useher creativity instead o taking it withher.
Ill probably make my own out oeathers and beads, she said.
Te appearance o a completely un-expected visitor added to the generalun. Devaunte French, a brave War-ren County High School studentcame in with several giggling girls
who were taking pictures o him ontheir cell phones. He was looking orsomething lovely to wear in a Wom-
anless Beauty Pageant to be held athis school and tried on two stunninggown. Tis elicited such helpul com-ments rom some o the observersas, Ooh, that dress brings out thecolor o your eyes. And, You have aabulous gure. He stayed true to hispurpose and chose a very becomingdress.
Te Glass Slipper donated 10 dress-es or contestants to wear at thatWomanless Beauty Pageant und-raiser held at the Warren CountyHigh School on April 1 or AndrewCornwell who is in treatment orNon-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Tis is the second ull year o theGlass Slipper Project which supportskids nding a way to attend a prom
without being staggered by the ex-pense or alternatively, not attendingat all and since tuxedos are not re-
quired or proms, boys can nd suitsto wear here too, i necessary.
Its not just Warren County studentswho benet, though. Last year severalprom-goers rom Clarke, Frederick,Shenandoah counties and the Cityo Winchester stopped by and oundparty clothes, but the ancy wear is

Te Godmothers continue to beoverwhelmed with the support andgenerosity o the community.

By Jonathan BennettWarren County Report
Christina Tomas and six o herseven children had spent the a ter-noon playing at Fantasyland Play-ground in Front Royal. Te kids,ages one to 14 years old, workedup quite an appetite running and
jumping and sliding and having a
good time. As the day slipped to-ward dusk, a vote was taken onwhat to do or dinner, and the con-sensus was the Subway sub shopon North Royal Avenue at SixthStreet.Te Subway was close by and
it would be a quick way to eedthe sizeable Tomas brood, nowhungry and tired and not wantingto wait on dinner when they gothome.Christina loaded up the bus, the
amily moniker or her 15-passen-ger Dodge Ram van.We drove to the Subway, and
when we got there, there just wasntenough space in their small parkinglot or the van, Tomas says.What she did next would inadver-
tently spoil what had so ar beena pleasant aternoon out with herkids and unhappily reveal just howun-neighborly certain aspects otheir small-town home can some-times be.Unable to maneuver the bus into
the crowded Subway lot, Tomassaid, I decided to park at the bar-ber shop next door. Let me say upront that I knew I wasnt parking
in the designated lot or Subway Big mistake.Christina said it was about 7 p.m.
and the barber shop next doorat 534 North Royal Avenue wasclosed, its parking lot empty. De-spite seeing the Barber Shop Park-
ing Only signs, she decided a briestop ater business hours wouldntbe an issue Big mistake, .
Tomas and the children wentinto Subway and got their subs totake home with them. She claimsthey were in the restaurant or no

So I had to pay the $75 in cash onthe spot to get the van o the roll-back, said Christina. Id spent the
cash I had in Subway. I had to usemy sons birthday money he hadon him, $60, and call my motheror the remaining amount. Tankgoodness I was able to get a holdo her, because they said they weregoing to tow the van i I couldntcome up with the cash right then.My mother came with another $0.So, I gave them $80. Tey didnt o-er the ve in change and I was soustered, I orgot to ask or it.Christina said that had the one

the tow truck operators treatedher, she said the Subway employeewhod just made their sandwichescame out and was laughing and
joking with the more asinine o thetwo drivers.
It turns out that C&J owing andRecovery, owned and operated byJohn H. Smedley, Jr., has a contractwith Richard Simpson, the ownero the barber shop at 54 NorthRoyal Avenue, to tow any vehicleparked in his lot that is not a pa-tron o his business. Asked how heknows whos in the barber shop andwhos not, Smedley had this to say:Id rather not go into how we
know who to tow. But i I drive by,or one my drivers does, and its notduring business hours at the barbershop and theres someone parkedthere, were contracted to tow the
vehicle out o the lot.Asked i the rate is always the
same, Smedley said that it can vary.Sometimes its more, sometimesits less, depending on the time oday or night it is.I pointed out that i it is during
business hours, C&J couldnt pos-sibly know who is in the shop bylooking at the cars parked in thelot. One might conclude that thetowing company drivers lie in waitnearby or make a regular circuit
ater hours, waiting to pounce onany vehicle there, including thoseo Subway customers i that lot isull or like Tomas, the vehicle istoo big to maneuver a crowded lot.Id rather not comment on that,
Smedley says. What I will say isthat she knew she wasnt supposedto park there and she did anyway.She says she was in there or may-be ten minutes. How do we knowthat? We hear that all the time rompeople, that they were only parkedin that lot or a ew minutes. Whatdoes that mean, a ew minutes? Shewasnt singled out.Tey hear this all the time rom
people, ater and during business
hours?Again, no comment.Rita Eberhardt is the manager at
the Subway where Christina andher children got dinner that eve-
ning. Weve seen this happen orawhile now. People get towed outo that lot all the time. We dontget involved, but Ive heard thatthe owner o the barber shop sayshes losing business because o
people parking in his spaces. I dontknow how true that is, but to mymind, this being a small town, Idthink business owners would wantto work together and not createproblems or one another. I dontsee how someone parking there ishurting his business, especially inthe evenings when hes closed.What o the Subway employee

anything about that, but Ill cer-tainly look into it, Rita said.We contacted own Councilman

By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
Te Front Royal own Councildiscussed a charter called grosslyoutdated by the councilman whobrought the issue to a March 19 worksession.
Noting there are reerences to both1949 tax maps and a our-personcouncil in the towns enabling mu-nicipal document, Shae Parker toldhis colleagues, It would be nice tobring the charter into the times.
Other shortcomings mentioned byParker were a November successionprocess or the vice mayor that doesnot match existing procedures or rel-
evant election schedules and a coun-cil appointment/removal processor members o the Board o ZoningAppeals that is currently done by thecourt.
Parker also suggested the town ex-plore potential benets o becominga city.
We are the sixth largest town inVirginia, Parker pointed out. Hesaid that with boundary adjustmentsunder consideration as a potentialmeans o solving corridor revenue is-sues and the towns size and popula-tion increasing were that to happen,not to consider all options would beoolish.
Parker said despite the opinion osome county ocials he spoke with
that a town would have to have apopulation o at least 50,000 when itmoved to become a city, his researchindicated that rather, certain citydesignations require only a popula-tion o 5,000.
Te smaller city status would enablethe new, small city to establish a con-tract with the existing county publicschool system, rather than have toestablish its own city public schoolsystem.
Even i we decide its a bad idea, Ithink we should start thinking morelike a city, Parker later told us .
Im okay with looking into it, aseemingly skeptical om Sayre com-mented.
Mayor im Darr noted the charter,obsolete or not, gave him the au-thority to appoint committees. Tatobservation led to a humorous ex-change on Parkers being appointedto take the point as a town commit-tee to study the city option.
Te charter also says you can con-trol the police orce, Parker replied,leading to some laughter and side-ways glances toward town PoliceChie Richard Furr, present or secu-rity.
I it is a committee it will requireminutes, own Manager Steve Burkepointed out.
Tey will be the shortest minutesin history, Council Clerk Jennier
Berry deadpanned.Sayre then suggested a loose ver-
sus tight committee, though itwasnt clear exactly how that desig-nation might impact legal guidelinessurrounding how the meetings areconducted and recorded.
own Attorney Doug Napier ap-peared to solve the problems by sug-
gesting it be called a work grouprather than a committee.
Parker suggested sta take care oupdating the basics such as the num-ber o council members, how BZAappointments are made or reerenc-ing the most recent tax maps. At thatpoint a council work group, commit-tee or whatever, could take the leadon discussion o more substantivechanges, including those that mightdirectly impact the towns uturemakeup, boundaries and designationas a town or city.
I rescind my comments about ap-pointing a committee, Mayor Darrsaid.
Conkey then suggested another re-
cently relevant and substantive char-ter change, adding a requirementthat candidates or elected town o-ce MUS get on the ballot by pe-tition. Tat change to the charterwould appear to head o moves likethe recent internal local RepublicanCommittee exploration, led by Se-ton Home School Director and then
Republican Executive CommitteeSecretary Mary Kay Clark and Coun-cilman Sayre, to nominate partisanRepublican candidates to town elec-tions. Such a move that would haveremoved incumbent Mayor Darrsparticipation as long as he remainsemployed by the ederal governmentdue to Hatch Act restrictions.
Responding to a question rom Car-son Lauder about the rationale orthe ballot by petition change, Con-key deadpanned, o avoid partisanelections where our beloved mayorwould be unable to participate.
Conkey also suggested requiringthe mayor to vote on all issues, ratherthan just break ties as he does now.
Darr has since stated opposition tosuch a change, including at the re-cent Chamber o Commerce-spon-sored Candidates Forum, as did hisopponent, im Ratigan.
Parker concluded the conversationhe began by adding that contact withstate representatives would be nec-
essary to see i any ccharter or the towns sor city could be accotimely manner. Approgeneral assembly wouor both charter and tion changes.
Is it easible beoreasked.
