By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
On Dec. 16th Front Royal PoliceChie Richard Furr, K-9 Sgt. BryanCourtenay and FRPD canine Boonevisited the Humane Society o War-ren Countys Julia Wagner AnimalShelter as representatives o Lodge33 o the Fraternal Order o Police.
Te purpose o the visit was tospread a little Christmas cheer bypresenting a check or $1,000 tohelp bolster emergency unding or
the shelter. As reported last issue,new Shelter Director Lavenda Den-ny told the Warren County Boardo Supervisors on Dec. 6th that theshelter was acing a budgetary crisisas the end o the calendar year ap-proaches.
Te supervisors were slated tovote on an emergency supplementalunding request o $50,000 or theshelter on Dec. 0. Te county hu-mane society also sent out a letter oappeal to the private sector on Dec.9. Denny told us that the FOP dona-tion raised the response to that ap-peal to $3,000, coupled with another$3,000 in unsolicited donations thathave come in, in the wake o press
reports o the Wagner Shelter bud-get crisis ueled by the large numbero animals the shelter is taking inannually. Denny observed a combi-nation o actors, including the tighteconomy, reluctance by some coun-ty pet owners to spay and neuterolder pets and the large number owild and unneutered animals roam-ing the county, as contributing tothe situation.
Tat situation has seen the WagnerShelter and its sta deal with as manystray animals in 010 as Loudoun
Countys animal shelter with its hu-man population o around 31,000,compared to Warrens 37,500.
People are losing their homes orstruggling to put ood on the tableor their amilies, and they are giv-ing up or abandoning their house-hold pets, Furr, who is presidento the FR-WC FOP Lodge 33, saidin announcing the early Christmasgit. Animals are lling our sheltersin record numbers every day acrossthe nation and this is putting nan-cial burdens on the organizationswho are trying to provide or thehumane care o the animals.
For these reasons the memberso the Front Royal/Warren County
Fraternal Order o Police have votedto make a $1,000 donation to the
Warren County Humane Society tohelp them in their tough nancialtimes. Te Humane Society o War-ren County has been an asset to lawenorcement in our community andwe eel we need to come to their res-cue now.
During her Dec. 6 plea to thecounty board o supervisors, Shel-ter Director Denny noted that onespecic incident that had cost theshelter about $8,000 this year wascaring or a dog during a legal casethat has dragged on long enough tosee that seized animal have a litter o
puppies the shelter is also caring orpending resolution o that case.
Te Humane Society o WarrenCountys Wagner Animal Shelterscurrent annual budget is $144,666.Te shelter has taken in over ,100animals this year. Tat comparesto Loudouns $1.4 million annualbudget and ,00 animals taken in;a $340,000 budget or Winchester,population 6,03 and ,00 ani-mals taken in; a $8,693 budgetor Shenandoah County, population4,000 and 1,30 animals taken in,according to a county sta report.
Te humane society is also seekingan annual county unding increase
o $60,000 per year inyear. Denny estimate

Route 55 East saety
Once upon a nave moment, Iexplained the problems to sup-posedly appropriate persons ingovernment. Te non-answer
received sailed into my trash canwith the searing thought: Wouldyou talk to me that way i I werea land developer? Probably not, Ianswered mysel.
Tat road is relatively narrow;winds let and right, up and down;lacks a shoulder over much o itssix miles. Tere are visibility is-sues made more acute duringprecipitation; its worse at night.
Te road would be saer i re-ectors were placed in the mid-line and i the right edge stripingwere kept bright. It also needs aew large signs to show the direc-tion o the upcoming curve. Tespeed limit could be dropped to45 mph. Tese recommendations
increase saety given the con-guration o the road. I-66 is notan alternative as its lines are notkept bright and 18-wheelers passthrowing o blinding splashes.Te road is now a decient de-
sign given our high commuterpopulation and the probabilityo more houses/driveways withcounty growth. Yet no relativelyinexpensive saety measures areplanned even or the near uture.Someday it will be a our lane.Tat helps?I researched the matter includ-
ing VDO documents. Appar-ently a crash analysis is not need-ed yet. I hate waiting or a triggernumber o injuries or deaths tooccur while society cries scarceresources, and then has to do themore expensive crisis manage-ment instead o prevention. Italso seems that an engineer, notan average citizen may need to
speak about saety.I someone were to go o the
road because it seems to be invis-ible/untrackable in bad weatherat night, there apparently is norecourse to argue decient road
design. I someone else causesthe accident to you, the questionis insurance payment, not alsodecient road design.Do others think that less expen-
sive saety measures now ratherthan waiting years or a our lanehighway is appropriate?

By way o introduction, a ew pre-liminaries: Despite the title o thiscolumn, I suspect not all readers willbe adult males. Rest assured that, nomatter how serious or provocativethe topic, I will approach it in a ami-ly-riendly way. As will soon becomeapparent, Im a Gutenberg kind oguy, a lover o print material, so thecolumn will oten, but not always,be a review o a book or a magazinearticle. Related to that, I like librariesa lot, particularly the Samuels Pub-
lic Library. Any book or magazinearticle I mention will be available atthe Samuels Public Library. Sta atthe Library can also help you nd allkinds o other resources. More onthat later.
Im historian by trade, mostly con-cerned with 0th century Europe,particularly Germany and Russia. Itnever ceases to amaze me that bookscontinue to appear on the Great War,World War I. With the centennialo that event coming up ast, whatsnow a stream o books, lms, andother productions will soon becomea mighty river. Ahead o that ood isa wonderul book by a Swedish his-torian and war correspondent, PeterEnglund. Te Beauty and the Sor-

Op-edTe Postal Service is ar too integral to the economic health o the nation to be handpast and to an inexible business model. o best serve taxpayers and postal customto remove the constraints. - USPS District Manager Northern Virginia John Budzyn
Te U.S. Postal crisis a realistic solut
By John Budzynski
USPS District Manager/ANorthern Virginia
As Congress considers legisla-tion to reorm the business modelo the Postal Service, it must con-ront a basic choice: to permit thePostal Service to unction moreas a business does, or constrain itrom doing so.With greater business model
exibility, the Postal Service canreturn to protability and nan-cial stability. A exible businessmodel would speed product andpricing decisions, enable a ve-day per week delivery schedule,
and permit the realignment omail processing, delivery and re-tail networks to meet lower mailvolumes. It would also allow the
Postal Service to more eectively
manage its healthcare and retire-ment systems, and better lever-age its workorce.For an organization that gener-
ates all o its revenue rom thesale o its postage, products andservices and is contending withdeclining use o First Class Mailor bill payment having theexibility to quickly adapt andreact to the marketplace is vital.Our immediate goal is to reduceour annual costs by $0 billion by015, which would put the PostalService in the black and ahead othe long-term cost curve.Te alternative is a business
model that prohibits or delayscost reduction, perpetuates aninexible structure, and con-strains the Postal Service rombeing more responsive to themarketplace. Under this scenario,and in the absence o meaninguland immediate business modelreorm, the Postal Service couldsoon incur long-term decits inthe range o $10 to 15 billion an-nually.
Within the limits o our current
legal ramework, we have re-sponded aggressively to a chang-ing marketplace reducing thesize o our workorce by 18,000career employees and reducingannual operating costs by $1.5billion dollars in just the past ouryears. However, to return to pro-itability we must move at an evenaster pace. And to do so requireschanges in the law.I provided with the exibility
and speed to act, the Postal Ser- vice can avoid being a nancialburden to the taxpayer. Moreimportantly, a nancially stablePostal Service that can operate
more like a business can morereadily adapt to Americas chang-ing mailing and shipping needs.For example, we are expanding
our network o 70,000 retail part-ner locations and online oeringsso that our customers will be ableto purchase stamps and con-duct other mailing and shippingtransactions outside o the tra-ditional Post Ofce. Customerswill increasingly be able to visit
gas stations, grocery stores and
pharmacies which are part oregular shopping patterns, open

more conveniently conduct their pos

Te traditional Post Ofce will al-ways exist, but a changing worlddemands rethinking the status-quo and adapting to the needs oour customers.
In a digital world, businessesand individuals have choices inthe way they communicate. Al-though the Postal Service acili-tates trillions in commerce annu-ally, and supports a $900 billion
mailing industry that employsalmost 8 million people, it musthave the tools and the motiva-tions to eectively compete orcustomers.In the current debate about its
uture, some have argued thePostal Service should not operatelike a business and be allowed toregress back into an unchanging,taxpayer-subsidized agency, andsome have urged that it be priva-tized and completely separatedrom the government. Te or-mer is undesirable and the latteris unrealistic.Te answer resides in the middle
an organization that perormsa vital national unction, and
operates with the discipline andmotivations o a business thatcompetes or customers. I it isto endure as a great American in-stitution, provide the nation witha secure, reliable and aordable
delivery platorm, and serve as anengine o commerce, Congressshould provide it with the speedand exibility it needs to competein an evolving marketplace.Te Postal Service is ar too in-
tegral to the economic health othe nation to be handcued to thepast and to an inexible businessmodel. o best serve taxpayersand postal customers, its time toremove the constraints.

But thats not when it starts.With Black Friday shoppingnow on Thanksgiving Thurs-day, if not sooner, the soundsof the season kick off then aswell.As much as I love those holi-

was the night beore Christ-mas and all through the town, ev-ery shelter is ull we are lost, butnot ound.
Our numbers are hung on ourkennels so bare; we hope everyminute that someone will care.Teyll come to adopt us and
give us the call, Come here, Maxand Sparkie come etch yournew ball!!
But now we sit here and think o
the days we were treated so ondly we had cute, baby ways.Once we were little, then we
grew and we grew now were nolonger young and were no longernew.
So out the back door we werethrown in a ash, they reacted soquickly why were they so rash?We jump on the children, dont
come when they call, we barkwhen they leave us, climb overthe wall.
We should have been neutered;we should have been spayed; now
we suer the consequence o er-rors others made.
I only theyd trained us, i onlywe knew wed have done whatthey asked us and worshipedthem, too.
We were let in the backyard, orworse - let to roam, now weretired and lonely and out o ahome.
Tey dropped us o here andthey kissed us good-byeMaybesomeone else will give you a tr y.
So now here we are, all conusedand alonein a shelter with oth-ers who long or a home.Te kind workers come through
with a meal and a pat, but with somany to care or, they cant stay tochat.
Tey move to the next kennel,giving each o us cheerwe knowthatthey wonder how long well be
here.
We lay down and sweet dreamsll our heads o a home lled withloveand our own cozy beds.
Ten we wake to see sad eyes,brimming with tears ourriendslled with emptiness, worry, and
ear.
I you cant adopt us and theresno room at the Inn could youhelp with the bills and ll our
ood bin?
We count on your kindness eachday o the year can yougive more than hope to everyone
here?
Please make a donation to payor the heatand help get ussomething special to eat.Te shelter that cares or us
wants us to live and more o uswill, i more people will give.

Earthworks Gallery Pottery Show runs Dec. 3 to JanBy Carol BallardWarren County Report
Dragons, Earth Spirits and localpaintings inhabit the walls o Earth-works Gallery and are displayed aspart o the third annual ouch theEarth Pottery Exhibit.
Te Front Royal gallery at 30 E. 8thSt. hosted an opening reception onDecember 3rd and was lled withartist/potters, riends and prospec-tive owners o the ne pottery on dis-play. Many were looking or one-o-akind gits or the holidays.
I just love all o these potters, saidRob Eliason, who is Earthworks pro-prietor.
Te December-January show ea-tures the work o some o the mosttalented potters o the Shenandoah
Valley and most o them are mem-bers o the Shenandoah PottersGuild which had its beginnings inStrasburg, Virginia. Strasburg hadpotters as early as 1761 drawn therebecause o the rich clay. Most o thepottery made in historic times wasunctional, used or eating, drinkingand storage.
Robs stated purpose in arrangingthis show three years ago was to pro-mote public awareness o pottery,not only as an important part o the
valleys past, but as a signicant parto our uture as well.
Te majority o the pieces are ullyunctional as dinnerware but alongwith them are the purely decorativeand imaginative. Dishes and teapots
are set out next to the earth spiritsand dragon wall sculptures.
Some things sell out quickly, but aspieces are sold, artists will bring inmore to keep i t ull, Rob said.
He pointed out a table that held ex-tremely aordable donated pottery.All prot rom those sales are to begiven to Warren Countys Julia Wag-ner Animal Shelter.
Subtle to sublime, Stone Age to
New Age is the philosophy as wellas a description o the art works in
the space adjacent to the open gal-lery. Robs seven-year-old business isull o a range o art works and thephrase denes the contents.
I love handling and seeing beauti-ul things, Ive been a custodian orbeautiul things that went throughmy hands and Ive ound good homesor them. When the right personcomes in, you know it, he said.
And Rob is looking orward to ul-lling a commitment he has made
to himsel. He said that when he wasmaking pots or the show, he decided
to pursue pottery ull-time next year.Ive always been more o a critic
than artist. Its an epiphany or me,he said.
Hell keep the store, but will bebringing in more pottery to the mu-seum-like space.
When I see beautiul art or pottery,i I can aord it, I bring it in to show.I like variety and a lot o avor. Iminspired by other artists and some-times I buy a piece o artwork justbecause it inspires me, he said.
Te exhibit will be in place throughJanuary 14th. For inormation, call540-636-4560 or visit [email protected] or www.shenandoahpottersguild.com

By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
Te organizer o Occupy FrontRoyal hopes to improve publicperceptions locally and add acommunity ocus to the cam-paign to bring increased publicawareness o the national OccupyMovement here.Justin Bailey has solicited the
help o a Rappahannock-basedgroup, Power to the People o thePiedmont, in an eort to raiseunds or various non-prot pub-
lic service organizations includ-ing C-CAP, the Salvation Army,the House o Hope and HarmonyPlace, the latter two o which arehomeless shelters. Bailey saidHarmony Place, which has press-ing economic needs, would be theinitial recipient once a undrais-ing mechanism is put into place.Bailey, 5, began his Occupy
protests in late November with19-year-old Dana Payne. Te pairreceived a permit to demonstratein a small public area at the in-tersection o Chester Street and
North Royal Avenue across thestreet rom the local Wells FargoBank where two Civil War mark-ers stand.
Bailey and our others picked uptheir Occupy protests the secondweek o December at the inter-section o Main Street and RoyalAvenue. Te move was made witha new permit good through theend o January, Bailey said.

(Managing editors note: Tethree-month anniversary o theOccupy Movement was celebrat-ed at sites across the nation onSaturday, Dec. 17. Te previousmonth reader ina Hobson vis-ited Zuccotti Park in NYC wherethe movement was born. Tis isher report and observation on the potential and hopes o many ora true national grass roots move-ment targeting corporate greedand criminality, not nanced byit.)
On a sunny, busy and colorulSunday, Nov. 6, I spent severalhours in Zuccotti Park, the loca-
tion o Occupy Wall Street inNew York City. It is the size oabout three large blocks boundtogether, on a slight hillside, closeto the new World rade Centersite. It is hard or me to believethat the ollowing week, on themorning o Nov. 15, that samenonviolent group occupying thePark were summarily evicted bypolice, beginning at 1 AM, as or-dered by Mayor Michael Bloom-berg.According to what occupiers
told me, Mayor Bloomberg rep-resents one example o what theoccupation is all about. Forbesreports that the Mayor is one o403 U.S. billionaires with a col-lective net worth o $1.3 trillion(Bloombergs personal net worth
is currently about $18 billion).
Just twenty percent o these 400or so richest Americans ownmore than 80 percent o thiscountrys wealth according to theEconomic Policy Institute. I youwant to know i you are in thetop one percent o the very richbased on income (009 IRS data),you would have had to pay taxeson an adjusted gross income o$343,97 or above.Participants occupying Zuccotti
Park repeatedly voiced concerns
about the growing concentra-tion o income and wealth in aew hands, money in politics andexcessive Wall Street/bankinginuence, increasingly withoutaccountability. Tey discussedwith visitors the cost o this in-equality on tax policies, educa-tion, investments, politics, ecol-ogy and spiritual values.Zuccotti Park, although dedicat-
ed to public use, is not owned by
the state or city. Te

table with two young men onehanded me his cell phone andasked me which senator or mem-ber o Congress I wanted tocall? No questions asked. Teywere happy to discuss their Gen-eral Assembly, a consensus based
transparent governing system. Inorder to make decisions - even onpurchasing a coee pot - you can vote 1/ to support, / it doesntreally matter to me, or 3/ no. Ithere arent any negative votes,the issue passes. Tis three-waysystem seemed to work or themand I thought item / particularlyuseul and creative. Meetingswere held in a nearby tent thatposted a daily schedule.Zuccotti Park saved space or an
extensive library, with on-dutylibrarians, o about 5,000 booksand documents. Tis resourcematerial was listed on their web-
site and provided an opportunityto research the data the Park voic-es presented. I did not know thatthe year beore my birth, 198,was the last year the U.S. hasexperienced a similarly extremeincome discrepancy. Nearly 80 years later the CongressionalBudget Ofce reported that theater-tax income o the most a-uent th o our population ex-ceeded the total income o theother our-ths.
I dont know why the occupi-ers were evicted rom that smallspace. Some complained o thesmell and noise, possible drugsand crime (sounds like any-where in NYC). According to
one Letter-o-Te-Editor, an at-torney living near the Park dis-counted this local criticism othe occupants. He claimed the4-hour noise rom building thenew World rade Center (twin
tower area) a ew blocks away arexceeded the drums and banterrom the Park. He also said thethree port-a-potty toilets newlyplaced in a local alley were alsoneeded or the increasing num-ber o visitors to the twin towerredevelopment and, thereore,the cost should not be blamed onthe Park occupants.RIP Zuccotti Park I believe
rom my one visit that this Parkmay have stimulated the greatest
social justice movement since thecivil rights era. Tese rst voiceshave already inspired nonviolentmeetings o homeowners, stu-dents, armers, teachers, retireesand small-business owners and
children, including rom Virginialocations like Staunton and Har-risonburg.Donald Bush, a Staunton resi-
dent expressed it best: We just want to return our livesto what it once meant to beAmerican: equality in everysense o the word; elected rep-resentation that gives a voice toevery American, regardless howmuch money we can contribute;and an honest assessment o how

Internet Fraud Soars, AreYou Prepared?
If 2012 has a theme, it might well bethe Year of Increased Internet Fraud.The problems dont occur as muchwith what we block out with our virusprotection as they do with the parts wedo let in: email we open and websiteswe visit. One source pegs the increasein phishing (getting your informa-tion) at 1,200 percent in just the pastsix months. Its only going to getworse.
During the recent holidays, right inthe middle of online shopping season,customers received fake messagessupposedly from a major online store.The email looked genuine: the contentlooked right, the subject line was one
that many people would open butthe senders address was forged, and itasked for personal information.
Thats the key right there: Whenan email or a site wants your data,beware. The collection form might bea duplicate of the info-gathering meth-od of the legitimate site and look veryauthentic.
What do they want? They want yourpersonal information any way they canget it. It might be a direct steal whenyou help by typing in your name andinformation. It might be that youre
tricked into downloadinlogger program that everything you type in.
Here are some initial take to protect yourself:
1. Err on the side of cautical. Dont click any lincuriosity. (Even clickindownload of spyware.) any personal informatiofor. If in doubt, close thyour email client comyour browsing history your browser windowgate to that companys wnormal way by typing insure your browsers phturned on.

own goes round on tourism department vacaBusiness sign changes still problems to be resolved prior to nal v
By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
Challenged by a 5-minuterambling, Dec. 9 Warren CountyBoard o Supervisors discus-sion on whether to vote on a remarshal position on Dec. 0, theFront Royal own Council threwdown on Dec. 1 to reclaim itscollective crown as local masterso circular logic and wasted timeand space.Unortunately by the clock they
got only a draw by spending amatching 5 minutes o unre-coverable time discussing andvoting on a series o motions andamended motions on how to ad-vertise the now-vacant Directoro ourism position, or wheth-er to vote at all pending youguessed it more discussion at asubsequent work session.At issue at the Dec. 1 council
meeting was how to advertise to
ll the tourism directors positionvacated by Jennier Keck on Dec.. Keck told this reporter severalmonths ago that she was suggest-ing a new part-time marketingposition ocused on website de- velopment and other marketinginitiatives due to time constraintsthat portion o her job occasion-ally presented to her.With Keck now gone council
began debating how to ll andadvertise the position at a Dec.
5th work session. Despite an ap-parent work session consensusto advertise the Visitors Centermanagement position as ull timeand the marketing position aspart time, Shae Parker and omConkey led a revisiting o howthose positions should be lledand advertised prior to a vote.As presented on Dec. 1, the
tourism managers position orVisitors Center Coordinator was to be reclassied and ad- vertised as a ull-time, grade-18position and the marketing co-ordinator advertised at a part-time, grade 14 level. Te initialtown online ad to replace KecksVisitors Center Coordinator du-ties as a ull-time position citeda salary between $8,000 and$45,000.Asked to explain what had been
done thus ar to ll the vacancy,town Humane Resources Di-rector Julie Bush noted that the
town was advertising the VisitorsCenter Coordinator at a gradescale o 14 It has been quite aresponse, she told council. Bushsuggested continuing to advertiseas already begun and then makea decision on how to ll the po-sition or positions based on theskills o the applicant pool.own Manager Steve Burke
would be conducting initial in-terviews and it appeared a coun-cil majority wanted Burke to have
maximum discretion in recom-mending how council ultimatelyll the tourism-related job orjobs.
However Parker suggested boththe coordinator and marketingpositions be advertised as ull-time, grade-level 18 positions.Discussion indicated council hasno intention o hiring two ull-time positions in tourism. ButParker explained he elt advertis-ing or ull-time employees wouldattract better-qualied applicantswithout committing council toactually hiring two ull-time po-
sitions.As one vote on a second amend-ed motion approached, an exas-perated om Sayre asked, Whatare we voting on? Sayre also saidhe elt council should advertisethe positions as they planned tohire them. With the conversationgoing in circles, Sayre suggestedanother work session. Howeverater several councilmen andBurke pointed to some urgencyin replacing Keck, Sayre joineda unanimous vote against tablingthe matter or urther discussion.As that evenings discussion o
respective duties o managing the
tourism department, the VisitorsCenter and its part paid, part volunteer workorce progressedit was apparent the council andsta consensus was that the mar-keting aspect o the job was eithermore important than managingpersonnel and overseeing directcontact with tourists, local busi-ness and government representa-tives, or that an overall realigningo duties was envisioned.Finally Parkers motion, second-
ed by Conkey, to advertise bothpositions as grade-18, ulltimejobs was approved by a 4- vote,Sayre and Tarpe dissenting.
What remains to be seen is how-ever they ll the vacant tourismdirectors position, what level ocommitment beyond manage-ment salaries is the town coun-cil willing to make to assure thatFront Royal is an attractive placeto visit and spend tourism dollarsin.
Sign ordinance changes
Council also approved the rst
reading o changes and elabora-tion on what types o signs maybe displayed by town businesseswith and without a permit. Teissue exploded over the past yearater a rash o letters rom theplanning and code enorcementdepartment went out threaten-ing nes over Open ag signsin East Main Streets HistoricDowntown Business District.In sending a review o the codes
to the planning department ormodication, council indicated itdid not want to be a deterrent toin-town business and those busi-
nesses ability to attract tourismdollars.And despite some introductory
language heavy on the regulato-ry it appears some compromisehas been made. Listed amongExempt signs not requiring
permits are some er than American ags as previously eraditional Flag Ssquare eet that caor Open or BusineHoweverRoyal Oak Comp

Councilman Shae Parker seemedto agree. He said he thought thetown had dropped the ball on theag sign issue Tere are stillsome problems, it is better but Parker said o ongoing restric-
tions and permit regulations onSale signs, among others. Hesaid he hoped those issues couldbe resolved prior to the nal, sec-ond reading vote.
PNDs redned
Also on Dec. 1, council ap-proved a second and nal readingo an amendment to the zoningcodes allowing more residentialand commercial development inPlanned Neighborhood Develop-ment (PND) Districts. Accordingto a sta summary, the primarychanges would allow Neighbor-hood-oriented commercial usesup to 15,000 square eet o oorarea, instead o only 4,000 squareeet and multiplex is redenedso that up to 30 dwelling unitsmay be permitted per building,instead o only 4.PNDs and Urban Development
Areas have been suggested byboth environmentalists and thestate as means o ocusing devel-opment around existing devel-opment and utilities, as well aspreserving surrounding naturalsettings. Te vote was 5-1, withonly Sayre dissenting as he had
in the rst reading on Nov. 8.Sayre reiterated his concern thechanges allowed too much devel-opment within town limits.own PND codes were rst ad-
opted in April 005.

own, business owners revisit promotional, code is
By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report
Te own o Front Royal held itssecond quarterly-or-so meetingwith in-town business representa-tives on Dec. 13. Te goal o themeetings initiated on Oct. 6 is anattempt to get the town governmentand its merchants on the same pagein promoting Front Royal as a shop-ping and tourist destination.
And while attendance was downto about six business people atthe meeting at Samuels Public Li-brary, rom an initial turnout o5 at an East Main Street location,the themes were largely the same how to most efciently and cost-eectively promote Front Royalbusiness and tourism. In act as aras numbers, it was pretty much astand o compared to own Man-ager Steve Burkes initial Middle o
Main building odd man out (withlate backup by Mayor Darr) be-laboring at the hands o riled-updowntown merchants ater a yearo battling the town over promo-tional signage and tourism adver-tising and coordination.
Tis time Burke had meeting-longsupport rom Darr, own AttorneyDoug Napier, Finance Director KimGilkey-Breeden and Planning Di-rector Jeremy Camp or only a 5-6decit o town-to-biz people. Tosepresent included Herb Malreath othe Daily Grind, Royal CinemasRick Novak, Royal Oak Comput-ers Craig Laird, Vino e Formag-gios Patricia Failmezger, FarmersMarket and ony s Apple Farmsony ringale, Linda Allen and two
Chamber o Commerce reps, NikkiFoster and Janet Michaels.While there was discussion o re-
pursuing the Main Street Programdesignation, the act that only threecommunities are selected everythree years, next designations in013, put that idea on hold.
Tere appeared to be a consensusamong those business people pres-ent that spending several thousanddollars on additional promotionalor directional signs on or aroundMain Street was a waste o money.
Patricia Failmezger reiterated herOctober contention spending mon-ey on another vision or sign de-
sign study was also a waste o timeand money.
But movie theater, bowling alleyowner and ormer EDA rep Novakmay have been most pointed incomments citing a disconnect be-tween municipal governments andbusinesses in Warren County andFront Royal.
Citing permitting and zoning codeissues, as well as the past brouhahaover Open and other commercialag signage on East Main Street,Novak said, Im somewhat encour-aged that we are having this dis-cussion but there still seems to be
an adversarial attitudcant do, what the cosh*t-can the code. WYou are the code. Tour benet, Novak cials.
Noting both the deconomy and thatcompetition rom tCorridor in the counimpacts on town bgies, it was suggestedrepresentative be invmeeting to broaden tdiscussion.
