Warren County Planning Commission considers private school, tourist rental, and camping sites
The Warren County Planning Commission met July 8 at the Government Center. Chairman Robert Myers (Happy Creek district) opened the meeting, reviewed the agenda, and prior meeting minutes, and for the third public meeting in a row, there were no citizen presentations, so the commission moved into public hearings for commission action.
Robert and Colleen Hencken have requested a conditional use permit for a private Montessori school located at 1694 Refuge Church Road in the North River Magisterial district. The Property is zoned A- Agricultural. Ms. Logan briefed the commission members on the staff work done on the application Staff had established conditions of approval of the permit, including compliance with the Department of Health, Fire safety, VDOT requirements, Signage ordinance, and parking plans.
The property is not located in an area with a homeowners association and the property would meet the county's setback and Health Department requirements. The maximum occupancy of the property was proposed to be 80 persons. All neighbors to the property were notified about the public hearing. Mr. Hencken spoke briefly about the project and his plans for the school as a temporary site in a converted pole barn. In addition, four citizens spoke at the public hearing in enthusiastic favor of the project.
Chairman Myers then closed the public hearing. The commissioners were then given the opportunity to ask questions. Vice-Chairman Henry then questioned the applicant regarding the plan for a septic system, which he regarded as a potentially difficult site due to soil conditions. As an experienced septic system installer, he asked if anyone had discussed a surface discharge system as a potentially appropriate solution.
Mr. Hencken indicated that they had had Marsh and Leggett come out to do the testing they indicated that a soil drip would not work. Mr. Henry explained that typical systems treat the sewage and then disperse it into the ground, but in that area, the ground is not very good for soaking anything. There is a different set of rules for a surface discharge system, in which the sewage is treated to the point that it is "clean water". He recommended that the applicant mention it to the soil people and work with the health department. "Pump and haul" is not allowed for permanent structures. He further stated that a solution to the sewage problem would be a condition of the commission's recommendation for approval.
The applicant indicated their plan was for use of the facility for 8 months to a maximum of 2 years, their original plan was to use bottled water in the building for hot and cold, and trailers for solid waste. He indicated that requirements were building up as if it were a permanent use, which it is not. He agreed to research the suggested solution with the authorities and consultants.
Commissioner Kersjes expressed concern about the traffic to the school through an intersection of Refuge Church Road and Doubletree Church Road, which is at a 45-degree angle. The applicant responded that the likely traffic count for the school would be approximately 25 cars morning and evening, or 100-150 trips/day. Commissioner Kersjes maintained that a 50% increase in traffic would be problematic. The applicant indicated they had asked VDOT to reduce the speed limit to 35 mph, in an effort to create safer access, and that VDOT had indicated that dropping the speed limit would not necessarily result in traffic slowing down. Chairman Myers commented that VDOT prefers 90-degree intersections, so the subject is likely to recur during the approval process. There were no other commissioner questions or comments.
Vice-Chairman Henry made a motion to recommend approval with conditions, as work with approving agencies was not yet complete. Commissioner Joe Longo seconded, and with no further discussion, the Commission voted unanimously to approve.
Anthony Cappaert has requested a conditional use permit for a short-term tourist rental at 437 Jones Quadrangle Road in the Shenandoah Farms subdivision, Shenandoah Magisterial District. The property is zoned R-1 residential. Planner Matt Wendling provided the staff briefing for the Commission. The last recorded building permit inspection was in 1973. The property is an older 2-bedroom home acquired by the applicant for a vacation property. He is seeking to recoup some costs of improvement by renting it on a short term basis. The health department has recommended that the well be tested annually for E-Coli and the septic system be inspected every 3-5 years. An e-mail was received from the Shenandoah Farms POA Chairman Ralph Reynaldi, citing no objections to the proposed use. The applicant has been working with the planning department to meet all the requirements for short-term tourist rental. The property meets all the setback requirements, meaning the closest dwelling is 125 feet away, The sanitary district manager has submitted comments regarding the proposal, with no objections to the traffic but included recommendations for landscape and drainage improvements. The staff recommends conditions for approval of the permit:
1) The applicant will be required to maintain compliance with all Health Department, regulations and the maximum number of occupants shall not exceed 4.
2) The applicant shall have the well water tested annually for E-Coli coliform bacteria and a copy of the results provided to the planning and health departments by the end of the calendar year.
3) The applicant shall clear and remove vegetation along the property frontage on both sides, and install a culvert at the entrance to the property.
Chairman Myers then opened the public hearing for one registered person to speak. Richard Goldie was opposed to the use and began a statement regarding the difference between residential and commercial uses of properties. The Chair reminded him that the Virginia General Assembly had determined that short term tourist rentals are not to be considered as a commercial activity, whereupon Mr. Goldie did not continue his statement but questioned whether the 100-foot setback requirement had, in fact, been met. The second speaker was the applicant, Mr. Kappaert, who expressed regret that he had not been aware of the opposition and was anxious to be a good neighbor and community member. He committed to reach out to the opposing parties and alleviate their concerns.
Another neighborhood resident, Jamie Hammick, was also opposed to the use, and indicated that it was purchased by an LLC rather than an individual, and feared that the proposed use could increase traffic, and potentially jeopardize the security of the neighborhood.
Once the public hearing was closed, Vice Chairman Henry asked the applicant if he had any issues with the recommendations of the sanitary district manager. The applicant was very agreeable.
Commissioner Longo asked if the applicant had a management plan. Mr. Kaeppert indicated he did and had an agreement with a local manager with 35 years of experience. Mr. Longo indicated that an actively rented property is preferable to a vacant unmaintained one. Similar sentiments were expressed by the Chairman.
Commissioner Kersjes asked about the property setbacks, and Mr. Wendling described the mechanism for using the county GIS system to measure dwelling to dwelling. The Chairman urged the applicant to work with the neighboring property owners to "extend an olive branch" as neighbors. Vice-Chairman Henry discussed the conditional use permit requirements and supported the idea that a well-maintained short term rental is better for the neighborhood than a badly managed long-term rental. He urged the neighbors to notify the planning department if there were problems. He also recommended informally that if there were a direct line of sight between the subject property and the nearest ones, that a neighborly gesture would be to consider some sort of screening
A motion was made by Vice-Chairman Henry, seconded by Commissioner Kersjes to recommend approval. Commission voted unanimously to approve.
Robert Hensley has requested a conditional use permit for non-commercial private use camping on his residentially-zoned (R-1) property on Rivermont Acres Road in the Fork Magisterial District. Matt Wendling of the Planning Office briefed the commission on the proposal. Neighboring property owners have been notified, but a response from the HOA has not yet been received.
The applicant seeks to use the property for seasonal camping and have access to the North Fork of the Shenandoah River for fishing and kayaking. There have not been any conditional use permits issued for this property although other properties in that subdivision have been issued similar permits for recreational use. Mr. Wendling outlined the supplementary regulations for that use, including the requirement for an RV to not be on the site for more than 180 consecutive calendar days, and a limitation on the number of recreational vehicles that would be allowed on the property. He also listed the conditions that would be part of the permit if it was issued, including compliance with County Health Department regulations, posting markers on the lot for fire/emergency services, RV-related materials to be stored neatly, and that the site would be subject to inspection to ensure compliance.
The property is located in a special flood zone, so an emergency plan would also be required to provide for evacuation in case of a flood event. Chairman Meyers opened the public comment period and there was no response from the sparse audience. Vice-Chairman Henry commented that this is an ideal use for the property.
Vice-Chairman Henry moved to forward the application to the Board of Supervisors for approval. Commissioner Longo seconded and the Commission voted unanimously to approve.
Aaron Hike has requested a conditional use permit for private use camping on a property on Beckwith Drive in the Shenandoah magisterial District. This property is also located in a special flood zone, so a flood emergency evacuation plan would be required. There would also be a requirement for an RV to be on the site for not more than 180 consecutive calendar days, and the site would be subject to inspection to ensure compliance. It has not been the subject of any previous conditional use permits. No speakers offered any comments during the public hearing, so Vice Chairman Henry moved to forward the application to the Board of Supervisors for approval. Commissioner Kersjes seconded and the Commission voted unanimously to approve.
During the planning director comments, Director Taryn Logan indicated that work is underway on the proposed Agricultural and Forestal Districts and that she is hoping to have all reviews completed by the end of the year. She also let the commission know that construction of the new building for Chipotle's Drive-thru and Five Guys at Riverton Commons was in progress with one remaining unit in the new building not yet spoken for.
During the Commission Members' comments, Vice Chairman Henry provided an update regarding the construction of the new fire station.
The Assistant County Attorney, Caitlin Jordan, did not have any comments for the commission.
Zoning Administrator Joe Petty summarized his work.
A motion to adjourn by Vice-Chairman Henry and a second by Commissioner Longo ended the meeting at 8:00 PM.

Mayor, council erupt over politicized interim town manager's report
After being taken to the "brink" a week earlier during the County Supervisors' 4-1/2 hour exploration of the intricacies and ethics of municipal government, things looked promising on Monday, July 27th.
A very light two-action item Front Royal Town Council agenda revolving around people GIVING the Town money or LOVE letters for display. How hard could it be, right – even with some critical citizen "Public Comments" from a riled-up Paul Gabbert and a more measured council candidate Bruce Rappaport?
That was before Matt Tederick decided to turn his Interim Town Manager's report into a political attack on Royal Examiner Publisher and mayoral candidate Mike McCool, not present Monday, over meeting comments made two weeks earlier about the prevalence of unattended-to potholes around town.
Not that there aren't any, Tederick admitted – "It's on me and me alone," he commented on their presence before attempting at length to portray McCool's July 13th comments on a lapse of timely Town attention to road infrastructure issues, into an attack on the Town's Public Works staff.
Tederick's report started normally as he noted posting on the Town website and various other social media and distribution sources of the application process for the Town's $1.2 million share of the CARES Act COVID-19 Coronavirus relief funding. But after one-minute-and-43 seconds, Tederick hesitated to say he found himself in a "quandary".
"I really struggled with what to say tonight, whether I should or should not make these comments," the interim town manager began, continuing to say he lived by "several personal mottos" including "always speak truth to power."
So, who was the long-time County Republican Committee chairman, officer, and power broker described favorably by fellow local Republican Committee official Amber Poe Morris earlier this year as "Front Royal's (Donald) Trump" getting ready to speak to? I found myself wondering.
"The quandary I find myself in, is on one hand I feel strong cause to protect town citizens who have been unfairly attacked. But on the other hand, calling out a current mayor candidate and owner of a local business and newspaper is the quandary I find myself in," Tederick said in prefacing his coming remarks.
Uh oh.
Saying he would "walk the line" Tederick began his defense of the public works department's street maintenance crews – crews I do not recall being the target of McCool's comments two weeks earlier a day after he said he had run through a massive pothole he feared might have damaged the undercarriage of his tiny "smart" car. It was apparently the same pothole the mayor had also hit recently, Tewalt later indicated. In fact, this reporter's video review of McCool's July 13 public comments indicated a critical focus on "department heads" and town administrative staff oversight of town crews and contractors for follow-up work, rather than of town staff in the field.
After two minutes of recitation of interdepartmental processes aimed at discrediting McCool's road infrastructure comments, Mayor Gene Tewalt interrupted the interim town manager to say that if the public was going to be limited in the amount of time they could berate town officials, perhaps town staff should also be limited in the amount of time devoted to the personal berating of the political opponent of a sitting councilman, mayoral candidate, and fellow Tederick Warren County Republican Committee member. Chris Holloway is also on the November mayoral ballot.
Responding that he was unaware of time limitations on staff reports, Tederick continued for another 2-1/2 minutes before the mayor again tried to end what had turned into a politically-tinged report. But this time when Tewalt attempted to halt Tederick, he was set upon by several councilmen, including Letasha Thompson, Gary Gillespie, Jacob Meza and briefly Holloway, who concurred with Meza that it was the mayor, rather than Tederick who had turned the meeting into a politicized sideshow – "I'm not surprised," Holloway said of a negative perception of Mayor Tewalt's attempts to cut Tederick's report short.
The following morning after asking McCool to watch our video of Tederick, the mayor and council's interaction over the attack on his July 13th "pothole of the day" comments, I asked our publisher for a response to what he saw, reminding him I had told him a month earlier his candidacy would make Royal Examiner, its staff and election coverage a target throughout the campaign season.
McCool replied that I was correct in recalling that his remarks had not been directed at Town work crews, but rather at administrative oversight and communications between contractors and department heads on follow-up work. – "I know, Mike, I re-watched the video this morning," I told him, adding, "I still hold you responsible for the hellish situation I find myself in as a reporter. – You know, it'll be my reporting next meeting that is somebody's 'quandary' for comment.
As for his reply to Monday's political developments, McCool said, "It seems Mr. Tederick is up to his political tricks and negativity. When I made the comments at the Town Council meeting two weeks ago, Mr. Tederick called my comments 'absolutely false'. Are they? Mr. Tederick emailed me the next morning asking for the addresses of the potholes and the site of the curb and gutter issues. He said he wanted to address the problem and get them taken care of ASAP.
"And Mr. Tederick told me after the meeting that the Town had seven contractors doing this work, and they were inspecting the jobs, but one contractor had been doing such a poor job, most of which had to be redone, that the inspector was spending all his time with this one contractor. I noticed he didn't mention any of this in the Town Manager's report on the 27th."
McCool added that people could judge for themselves what happened last night from watching the meeting video of the political turn in Tederick's report and the contrasting reactions to it. In the first video we've edited his actual comments to council on July 13 and Tederick's report which pivots toward McCool, as well as the mayor-manager and mayor-council sparring over the political turn the meeting had taken.
The second video is the entire Town Council meeting of July 27th.

Murray asks for 'LOVE' correction, and gives some LOVE to the departing county administrator
Former Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Murray, who did not run for re-election to his North River District seat last year, paid a visit to his old Warren County Government Center stomping grounds on Tuesday night, July 21st – but it wasn't just a polite social call to see how things were going.
In fact, in two visits to the podium, Murray had some pointed words for his three first-term successors, Walt Mabe, Cheryl Cullers, and his old district's Delores Oates. First, Murray chastised the chair and his colleagues for not correcting past board meeting misstatements indicating that the previous board which Murray chaired had authorized the LOVE sign under consideration for placement at the Route 340/522 intersection with Guard Hill Road.
"I'd like a retraction on that because this goes out to the public, and they don't know what the real truth is. – So, let's give them the real truth, thank you," Murray concluded in a brief visit to the public speakers' podium during consideration of the LOVE sign.
Contacted later, Murray explained that while he was chairman in his last term the LOVE sign had been before the County Planning Commission, never being forwarded to the supervisors for a final vote up or down.
Vice-Chair Cheryl Cullers responded to Murray by noting that at a subsequent meeting she had apologized for the incorrect allusion to previous board approval of the LOVE sign project.
"Because I was under the impression that no projects went through without board approval and I knew it hadn't come before us. So, that was a wrong assumption on my part and I do apologize, and I will apologize to you personally," Cullers said, drawing a "Thank you" from the former chairman.
"I was wrong and if I'm wrong I will admit it," Cullers added to conclude the matter.
About an hour-and-a-half later with its nearly 4-1/2 hour open meeting headed to a conclusion, Murray revisited the podium to say goodbye to County Administrator Doug Stanley, who as previously reported, has reached an "Involuntary Separation Agreement" with the current board to leave the county administrator's positions he has held for the entire 20 years of this century, out of his quarter-century of service to the county government.
Following Rick Novak to the podium after the Royal Cinemas owner also acknowledged Stanley's decades of service to the County and community – "What we've accomplished in this county in that time period, through some of your efforts and a lot of other people's efforts, is amazing," Novak began, adding, "Warren County, even the EDA believe it or not," Novak said referencing pre-financial scandal years and efforts under executive directors prior to Jennifer McDonald, "was the envy of the state for many years for all the things we got accomplished here. And Doug, you were a huge part of that. There are things this board will never know, the places in this community he has touched as a Rotarian, and you will be missed," Novak concluded drawing applause from some of the hearty remaining crowd at 11:15 p.m.
Though not signed up to speak, Murray, Stanley's former boss as board chairman, asked permission to return to the podium, which Chairman Mabe granted.
"Mr. Chairman, I come before you, your board and staff with a heavy heart. We are losing so much institutional knowledge and you don't realize what we're losing," Murray began asking if he could approach the county administrator at his position on the dais, also granted by the chair, as Murray continued with rising emotion.
"I want to thank you for everything you've done for this community. You are a cornerstone that's not appreciated. Doug, I found you to be amongst the best of the best," Murray continued with a phrase from his military service.
See Murray's heartfelt farewell to the only administrator this county has known through the first 20 years of the third millennium of the Gregorian Calendar in the Royal Examiner meeting video, as well as Murray and his former colleague Richard Traczyk's stinging appraisal of the new board majority's motivation in seeking Stanley's "involuntary" separation from the Warren County government.
"And he (Traczyk) said please mention my name, that I agree with this: That it's a shame to pay back election promises this way having not even worked with you (Stanley) for a full year," Murray said before continuing to describe what he found to be a perhaps over-dedicated public employee during his tenure as a supervisor.
In the wake of the EDA financial scandal erupting through 2019, the newly-elected board majority generally campaigned on an "end of business as usual" platform seen by many as a major contributing factor in the evolution of that alleged in dueling civil litigations $20-million-plus financial misappropriation of EDA and municipal resources during the EDA executive directorship of Jennifer McDonald.
Stanley's lengthy tenure as county administrator was perceived by some as a key element of "business as usual" here.

UPDATE: Back from the brink – supervisors save most interesting discussion for last
Just when suicide seems like a viable option to extricate yourself from a time/space loop of consideration of municipal government minutiae that you see no way out of, the unexpected pulls you back – to life, to the makings of a good story.
That was the case Tuesday evening, just over three-and-a-half hours into a meeting characterized by the "Nothing is Easy" perspective that seems to have overtaken the Warren County Board of Supervisors recently. Delayed for action Tuesday were, not only a vote on allocation of the $2.1 million County share of federal CARES Act Coronavirus relief funding due to the absence of Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator Rick Farrall (correction: Farrall was absent due to the item being pulled from agenda by chairman due to the need for additional information on allocation process being developed), but also the rather routine approval of the minutes of previous meetings. Well, there were a lot of them – three regular meetings dating back to mid-May, three special meetings, and a May work session – "a lot of reading" as Chairman Walt Mabe pointed out.
But 3-1/2 hours later, long gone were general topics of public interest on recognitions of service to the Warren County Sheriff's Office and updates on Samuels Library operations during the COVID-19 pandemic emergency response.
Also gone were potential lead stories:
- on the fate of a long-planned promotional LOVE sign designed to piggy-back Virginia communities on the half-century-plus success of the "Virginia is for Lovers" tourism promotional slogan acknowledged as one of the Top 10 marketing campaigns of any kind (keep it alive but explore alternate designs, locations and funding options);
- of a possible border war with Clarke County over a centuries-old surveying anomaly leading to a needed boundary adjustment (approve the changed boundaries as did Clarke County earlier in the day to correct the situation);
- or proper lighting, shrubbery, parking and positive movement on development of a Department of Game and Inland Fisheries overseen Morgan's Ford Shenandoah River-side boat landing property (keep the project moving forward so as not to lose DuPont environmental settlement funding, but at reduced costs with less lighting and less shrubbery – "shrubbery", is there a Monty Python script developing here?).
By 8:43 p.m., one-hour-and-43 minutes in, the meeting had settled into a mind-numbing series of Conditional Use Permit requests for private-use campground property additions; for short-term tourist rentals; and ordinance amendments controlling how many dead, unusable, untagged vehicles or recreational vehicles may be kept on residential properties; and how flags and signs can or cannot be regulated in the wake of a 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on publicly displayed content.
After an hour of this drier side of municipal business, first, the LOVE sign issue came before the board seeing a 6 for, 2 against, 2 in the middle public split. Following a revisiting of early agenda board and staff, reports pushed back by other business and the 7:30 p.m. start of the eight public hearings, an agenda item added at the meeting's outset by Happy Creek Supervisor Tony Carter, one of two still-sitting incumbents (with Archie Fox) whose seats have not yet come up for election, post-EDA financial scandal.
Reservation of whose rights?
That item was board consideration and a vote of "formal approval" of a renegotiated "Reservation of Rights Agreement" with the Front Royal Town Council. As Royal Examiner has reported, that agreement negotiated informally between Supervisors Cullers and Oates and Council members Lori Cockrell and Chris Holloway was an attempt to have the Front Royal Town Council agree to assume payment responsibility for its Economic Development Authority-financed new Town Police Station headquarters in the new fiscal year.
That the negotiated and renegotiated agreement not quite achieving that goal – the Town has agreed to a one-time, recoverable, half-interest payment of $10,528.95 – had been accomplished by Cullers and Oates without his, and perhaps other supervisors' knowledge, led Happy Creek Supervisor Tony Carter to inquire as to the nature and advisability of his involved colleagues' negotiating process, without the formal endorsement of the entire board.
That 35-minute, sometimes confrontational, discussion involving, not only board members, but County Attorney Jason Ham, EDA Board Chairman and soon-to-be Interim County Administrator Ed Daley, will be explored in a related story "Two supervisors questioned about 'back channel' dealings with Town on EDA issues" and attached video segment.

EDA in Focus
Two supervisors questioned about 'back channel' dealings with Town on EDA issues
On Tuesday, July 21, Happy Creek Supervisor Tony Carter's call to add board discussion and a vote of "formal approval" of an informally negotiated "Reservation of Rights Agreement" with the Front Royal Town Council led to the evening's most surprising and most contentious discussion.
During that discussion, Carter asked if informal County "Reservation of Rights" negotiators Delores Oates and Cheryl Cullers should be made an official board committee. When County Administrator Doug Stanley noted that once formed as a formal municipal committee, further meetings would require public notice of, and minutes to be taken at future meetings.
"I know, that was my intent," Carter replied, indicating he thought a formal committee a better path than the undocumented, unsupervised way those unofficial meetings between Cullers and Oates and Lori Cockrell and Chis Holloway on the Town side were being conducted. Carter called the meetings similar to the Town-County Liaison Committee meetings, which are formal and documented. Perhaps oddly or not, the Reservation of Rights Agreement discussion was NOT part of last week's Liaison Committee meeting agenda.
"I think everybody wants to be transparent. And it seems like that would be the best way to be transparent – notify the media, notify the public about having these discussions," Carter said of formalizing such an important matter involving the County, Town, and EDA.
However, Cullers and Oates countered that their un-monitored meetings with the Town representatives were being made in good faith to move a stagnated process forward.
"I would like to disagree with that," Culler said of Carter's formalized committee idea, adding, "simply because I feel like we're making some headway – not that I'm trying not to be transparent. But at some point, you have to sit down with people in a room, shut the door and get down to business without too many people in the room. I think the Reservation of Rights that we came to here is a step in that direction. I don't know if we would have got there if we had more people in the room."
"I understand what you're saying, that you prefer to conduct public business without the public," Carter retorted of Cullers' rationale for continuing her and Oates meetings as they have thus far been conducted without public and media scrutiny.
As previously reported, the original "Reservation of Rights Agreement" was a late June, Town-drafted quasi-legal document agreeing to a one-time, recoverable $10,528.95 payment covering half the $21,102 interest-only July payment on the new Front Royal Police Headquarters debt service. The agreement was first revealed during a June 30 Town Special Meeting called to approve the initial draft. However, due to excessive conditional language included in that document, first EDA officials who were being asked to sign off on the agreement they had no previous knowledge of, and then apparently County officials as well, rejected moving forward with it.
Last week a revised and severely paired back, one paragraph "Reservation of Rights Agreement" was brought forward by North River District Supervisor Oates and Board Vice-Chair Cullers for reconsideration by the supervisors. While the intent remained the same, a one-month, recoverable half-interest Town payment on the July FRPD debt service that the Town was admitting no obligation to make, virtually all the excessive verbiage that would have had the EDA and County signing a document stating the Town has "no legal or moral obligation" to pay for its EDA-financed police station and preventing any future EDA or County use of the payment and its documentation in court or "any forum" was gone.
It was replaced with the Town's acknowledgment that the payment was being made "with no admission of obligation and reserving all rights to continue to contest this and other matters in pending litigation between the Town and EDA. The EDA accepts this payment acknowledging this reservation of rights." See Royal Examiner's coverage of evolution of the draft proposals in previous stories "Legal questions surround Town offer of one-time, recoverable FRPD payment" and "Pared back FRPD payment 'Reservation of Rights Agreement' revealed by County".
As for the asserted "good faith" aspect of the secretive Reservation of Rights Agreement discussion, Carter said, as EDA Board Chairman Daley would soon agree to during his comments on the matter, "Wouldn't it be good faith if the Town paid their obligations? Wouldn't it be good faith if the Town, County, and EDA worked together, instead of against each other in legal procedures?"
Both Cullers and Oates responded that was their ultimate goal, adding that the non-publicly acknowledged meetings allowed the conversation to be undertaken "without the undermining going on". Contacted later, Cullers said that was not a reference to any media coverage of Town-County issues.
Carter continued his "show of good faith" questions, asking, "Is it a show of good faith that the Town is starting its own EDA, thus duplicating costs to the town taxpayers, instead of working together? After all, most of the EDA projects are located in the town."
Carter also questioned the advisability of the supervisors as the county's governing body, signing off on a document that Oates admitted had not been what she and Cullers had hoped to achieve on behalf of the County and EDA, which was the full July payment acknowledging the bank-financed 3% interest rate on the FRPD debt service.
Part of the Town of Front Royal's $20-million-plus civil litigation against the EDA is the claim it was promised a 1.5%, 30-year debt service interest rate on the FRPD project by former EDA Executive Director Jennifer McDonald.
Called to the podium to comment for the EDA Tuesday night, still EDA Board Chairman Daley told the supervisors the EDA has documentation dating to 2017 and 2018 indicating the Town knew the FRPD project interest rate would be no lower than 3%.
Daley also was fairly pointed in indicating to the supervisors that he believed the Town was not dealing in good faith with the EDA regarding any financial issues. He observed that Town legal attacks or refusals to meet financial obligations with the EDA were also attacks on the County since the County has taken on sole financial responsibility in support of the EDA.
Following the 35-minute far-ranging, sometimes pointed conversation, on a motion by Carter, seconded by Fox, the board voted 4-1 to table action on the Reservation of Rights Agreement. Oates cast the lone negative vote. After a long pause when her name was called for the roll call vote, Cullers voted with the majority to table.
See all the drama of your local government in action, including discussion with County Attorney Jason Ham on the advisability of formal versus informal meetings of this magnitude, Chairman Mabe's observations in the middle of the debate, and Daley's full observation from the EDA perspective in this Royal Examiner video segment:

Avatar: the legend of Aang is becoming popular again thanks to the publication of the series on the Netflix streaming platform and many animation fans are coming into contact for the first time with the work created by Michaeld Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko in 2005.
If on the one hand we find new fans on the other there are longtime fans who always manage to come up with new ways to celebrate their favorite characters, this time they have succeeded by joining the universe of Aang with that of the world's most famous portable monsters, branded Game Freak and Nintendo, Pokémon.
As you can see in the post at the bottom of the news, the user @ mojgonv paid homage to these two franchises by dedicating particular illustrations to them, proposing the dominators of the various elements as gym leaders of the Pokémon world.
Of course, each trainer has been joined by Pokémon linked in some way to a specific element, for example, in the case of Aang there are flying monsters, such as Doduo, Hoothoot, Togekiss, Swablu, Pidgeotto, and also one of the new Pokémon introduced in the eighth generation with the Pokémon games Sword and Shield, or Rookidee.
Recall that a beautiful Omnibus of Avatar: The Legend of Aang has just been published, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the series, and that Pokémon is also receiving some success both with the Pokémon series: Explorations and with the spin-off Twilight Wings.

ARI Launches Free Speech Campaign
Submitted by Lindsay Perigo on Wed, 2006-03-08 04:45
(Note from Linz—no, I haven't joined ARI, but this project seems well worth supporting, & is another instance of ARI leaving TOC in the dust.)
In light of the recent violent outrage in the Islamic world over the "Danish Cartoon" controversy, and the anemic response to this outburst in Europe and America, the Ayn Rand Institute is pleased to announce a campaign to bring the Danish cartoons to the widest possible audience--and to arrange a series of panel discussions to discuss the vital need to defend free speech.
So long as men are free to criticize, free to dissent, free to present their own ideas without fear of reprisals--the fight for rational culture has a chance. But the crisis over cartoons of Mohammad threatens to wipe out freedom of speech. Our leaders have shamefully sided with the mobs chanting death threats and torching embassies. Free speech, our leaders say, is not an absolute, its exercise must not offend religious beliefs--it is a right, in other words, that we are not free to exercise.
If the threats, riots and killings fomented by Islamic states are allowed to proceed--if they are allowed to compel Western thinkers into self-censorship--the first to be silenced will be the critics of Islam. And then the critics of religion. And then everyone else.
The Ayn Rand Institute disseminates the pro-American ideals of reason, egoism, and individualism, and our efforts fundamentally depend on the absolute right to free speech. That is why we have launched a campaign to inform the American public about what is at stake in this crisis. In a series of public events on college campuses, ARI speakers will explain: the actual meaning of free speech--and why it must include the freedom to offend; what should have been the reaction of Western governments to the crisis; what reactions to the cartoons in the Islamic world tell us about that culture; and how the Western media ought to defend the right on which its livelihood, and our culture's survival, depends.
Our immediate plans include the following:
* Hold three talks on college campuses--UCLA, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Southern California.
* Promote these events with an aggressive print advertising and Internet marketing effort.
* Finally, we plan to place the Danish ads on www.aynrand.org and promote them aggressively in print, on the airwaves, and over the Internet.
Our budget for these activities is $33,000.
For us to succeed in executing this campaign, we need your help now.
Any contribution that you can make to ARI to help offset these costs would be greatly appreciated.
To give now to support our campaign to defend free speech, please go to:
If you prefer to give by phone, please call our donor services coordinator, Dave Gulbraa, at 800.365.6552, extension 204. Of course, you can also mail your contribution to ARI at 2121 Alton Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine CA 92606 (please indicate on the check that this is for the ARI Danish Cartoons Project).
It is critical that free speech be defended--and that the violent mystics who threaten this freedom be opposed philosophically.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Because you're a f_wit. Threatening to use force on someone to compel them to do something is coercion. This violates the underpinning of the right to free-speech - the non-initiation of force.
Probably some goat fuckers who, sharing your retarded ignorance of the nature of individual rights (and the ability to read Linz's first line "This is not a call to genocide"), will try to get Linz punished for saying a religion should be shamed and laughed out of existence, as opposed to killing all its adherents.
Let's say I have just this moment agreed to pay a third party to kill you. That is a voluntary contract between him and I and I will not be the one who kills you. All I have done is speak and offer to pay when you die. By your non-integrated reckoning, I should receive no punishment as I have not initiated force.

Dude! Martin Luther King
Submitted by Frizzy on Fri, 2006-03-10 00:06.
Dude! Martin Luther King endorced peaceful protests to gain aceptance of existing rights for all people.
Submitted by James S. Valliant on Thu, 2006-03-09 23:31.
No, Frizzy, as Rand said, it is physical force which defines the parameters of all rights. The prohibition against its initiation must include specific and credible threats of force backed up with the means of immediate execution, along with the solicitation of, or conspiracy to, or the aiding and abetting of, any use of force or violence against another. Destroying and damaging property, and demanding that governments use the force of law, of course, are more than mere "threats."
P.S. There was nothing "to get."
Good Grief...
Submitted by Frizzy on Thu, 2006-03-09 23:31.
Maddog31, you might percieve me as a "stupid troll", but wishing will not make it so. If you have a clue, please use it. Emotional outbursts are a sign of someone who does not rationally understand what is going on, please check your cues, then use your clues.
Peter, please actually post your link. You might want to look up Sarchasm if you are not sure if I am serious.
Is it ok to use force
Submitted by Frizzy on Thu, 2006-03-09 22:33.
Is it ok to use force against someone that makes a threat of violence?
Is a death threat, or a threat of violence, not part of freedom of expression?
I would have said that "freedom of speech" will allow you to make any reasonable or outrageous claim, as long as all you do is "speek".
Is a death threat really grounds for retribution?
You cannot be serious?
Submitted by Peter Cresswell on Thu, 2006-03-09 21:52.
If your question was a serious one, 'Frizzy,' you might find this useful: Some Propositions on Free Speech.
Of course, if your question was not a serious one -- as it's phrasing suggests it wasn't - then the advice of 'maddog' would be more appropriate.
Nobody claimed that Muslims
Submitted by Tom Matassa on Thu, 2006-03-09 17:53.
Nobody claimed that Muslims do not have the right to voice their disapproval of the cartoons or their publication. What they do not have the right to do is kill or threaten to kill somebody because they were published.
Fuck off and get a clue, you stupid troll.
"Free Speech"
Submitted by James S. Valliant on Thu, 2006-03-09 17:52.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Yeah, the violence and threats and demands of the Muslims who are protesting the Danish cartoons are "going against" free speech. This is the way rights are violated -- by force.
"Free" speech is only "free" when it's "free" from a response of violent force.
This is also the way rights must be protected -- by force. That's why government legitimately (when it acts legitimately) uses guns and tanks and stealth bombers and prisons -- to protect rights like free speech.
In an age when college audiences, in the name of free speech, demand the right to shout at a speaker so loudly that the speech cannot be heard, and when students who use "offensive" or "hate" language are compelled to take sensitivity training, we need to define our terms.
"Free speech" does not include the right of protesters to destroy private property or to demand that cartoonists be punished. On the contrary, protecting free speech requires that governments take action against the violence and intimidation.
Doesn't that sort of go
Submitted by Frizzy on Thu, 2006-03-09 10:14.
Doesn't that sort of go against the free speech thingee? or is free speech only ok for young white christian males living in America?
Reprisal for rewards
Submitted by sjw on Wed, 2006-03-08 23:55.
I agree 100% Andre--a bounty is equal to an attack and should be responded to the same as if a terrorist had literally attacked a citizen--the person offering the bounty is a terrorist and should be taken out and all of his money confiscated.
Million Dollar Rewards
Submitted by Kyrel Zantonavitch on Wed, 2006-03-08 21:38.
I hope they focus on the recent brazen million dollar rewards for murdering people. I definitely think this is the worst and most menacing aspect of the Danish cartoon controversy. I think the West could have saved itself a lot of grief -- including maybe 9/11 -- if we had responded to the Salman Rusdie fatwa and million dollar bounty very differently. These public death threats against Western free expresion are simply intolerable. I even think there should be an immediate military reprisal.

To my eternal shame I forgot to mention that the ARI is on the side of the Angels with this one. Brilliant. I may even let the moths out of my wallet and donate some $$. That is after I purchase the TFR etc...
My only excuse is that I'm blown away with the courage displayed by the lion-hearted Dr Sultan!
Good Stuff

I've been very impressed with ARI's response to recent events and plan on supporting this. They've been doing some really good stuff and I strongly support them across the board. I, too, wish I could attend one of the talks. C'est la vie.

Courageous & Apt

A courageous and fitting move by ARI, that's just the response required by activists for freedom on this historic issue (and I wouldn't take any activist organization seriously that didn't have a bold response to it). It's also a good demonstration of leadership and vision on Yaron's part.

I'm glad that you posted that, Linz. (I just blogged it myself... I only wish I could attend one of the talks.)
I just checked the TOC web site -- and they still haven't said a single word about the "cartoon jihad." Could they be any more useless?!? Then again, silence is surely better than whatever bizarrely appeasing drivel they would produce.

How about ARI bringing the words of Dr Wafa Sultan to the widest possible audience? She said a hell of a lot more in 10 minutes than all four cartoons put together!!!
From her interview on Al Jazerra TV:
"The clash we are witnessing around the world is not a clash of religions, or a clash of civilizations. It is a clash between two opposites, between two eras. It is a clash between a mentality that belongs to the Middle Ages and another mentality that belongs to the 21st century.
It is a clash between civilization and backwardness, between the civilized and the primitive, between barbarity and rationality. It is a clash between freedom and oppression, between democracy and dictatorship. It is a clash between human rights, on the one hand, and the violation of these rights, on other hand. It is a clash between those who treat women like beasts, and those who treat them like human beings. What we see today is not a clash of civilizations. Civilizations do not clash, but compete... "

Union Minister for Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Tuesday (21 August) said that the government has begun the process of stopping the waters flowing into Pakistan without violating the Indus Water Treaty, reports Times of India.
"Work has already begun to stop the waters that flow into Pakistan. I am talking about the water which is going to Pakistan, and I am not talking about breaking the Indus water treaty," Shekhawat said.
As per the Indus Water Treaty, the control of the Beas, the Ravi and the Sutlej river vests with India while Pakistan controls the Indus, the Chenab and the Jhelum. As the Pakistani rivers receive more waters from India, the treaty allows New Delhi to use the Indus, the Chenab and the Jhelum waters for limited irrigation and unlimited use of power generation, domestic, industrial and non-consumptive use.
The ministry reportedly aims to capture the unused water from those rivers and use them during the leaner seasons by diverting the excess waters to the Ravi river as the existing reservoirs are already full to the brim at the moment.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has accused India of having unleashed a fifth-generation warfare against it and said that New Delhi failed to share the hydrological data on the waters of Sutlej river with Pakistan on time, leading to floods across the Islamic nation.

Working Paper
Are crisis-induced devaluations contractionary?
Why are some currency crises followed by economic contractions while others are not? This paper is an attempt at answering this query. In particular, we investigate two closely related questions. First, we explore whether there is a difference in the output effects of a devaluation during normal periods versus crises ones; after all, during noncrisis periods, real exchange devaluation is seen as an important policy option for promoting exports and output growth. Yet, the literature has not made a distinction between crisis and noncrisis periods. To preview the main conclusion, we find that ...
