By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report

Former mayor and county su-pervisor and local businessmanJohn Marlow is tooting the horno his Warren County High SchoolClass o 1957. Marlow explainedthat during this years 55th ClassReunion week his classmates ac-cepted the challenge o committingunds to augment the education othe schools current crop o students

through the Warren County Educa-tional Endowment.

Tey did so with the impetus o aninitial promise rom a class donorwho chooses to remain anonymous,

to match classmate donations upto $1,000. With that jump start theclass surpassed its goal o $3,000 byraising a total o $5,000 that week.

I dont think any other class hasmatched that during a week and wedlike to challenge the other classes totry and beat our total, Marlow toldus as we met or a photo op o theClass o 57 check presentation toEndowment Chairman Doug Stan-ley at the Warren County Govern-ment Center.

On behal o the Endowment Iwould like to commend each andevery member o the Class o 1957or their commitment to the En-dowment, the Warren County Pub-

lic School System, and the youth othe Community. I sincerely hopethat other classes will take on thechallenge that they have laid downand help us obtain our goal, Stanleysaid.

ALONG THESE LINES

Why did the chicken cross the road?

By Nick Tomas

Apparently, i youre six years old, to get to theother side is an acceptable and singularly humor-ous answer to this age-old question which seems todate rom a New York magazine article publishedaround 1850.

Te answer may also depend upon whomyou ask. So, i some well-known personali-ties were asked Why did the chicken cross theroad? they might respond along these lines:Dick Cheney: It was eeing rom me. I tried towing it with my AK-47, but took out the KFC signhal a mile down the road instead.George W. Bush: I dont know about things likethat - Laura doesnt let me cross the road alone.But I hope the poor chicken doesnt misunderesti-mate the trac.Al Gore: I invented the chicken.

Ron Paul: Tats none o our concern. Chickensshould be ree to cross roads without governmentintervention.Sarah Palin: Fry baby, ry!Arnold Schwarzenegger: I dont know the an-swer, but I can tell its a girlie chicken by the wayit walks.Michael Moore: Ater being conned, abused,and repressed by capitalistic poultry armers, thechicken was escaping to reedom, to star in mynew movie Eggo.Paris Hilton: Just because Im, like, umm, gor-geous and an heiress, I still have my own viewsabout chickens and roads. Let me check with my

agent to see what I think.Lindsay Lohan: It crossed? Dang, I must havemissed it.Charlie Sheen: Winging!

David Letterman: And the number one reasonthe chicken crossed the road it was eeing whenit saw this weeks CBS ratings.Dr. Phil: Te issue is not why the chicken is cross-ing, by why were enabling it to engage in risky ac-tivities.Samuel L. Jackson: Clearly, this is one dumbmother clucker.Darth Vader: It was crossing over to the Dark Side.May the sauce be with you.Bill Gates: In this age, we shouldnt have to worryabout real chickens and potential poultry highwaycarnage. Te next version o Windows will eaturean app where a virtual chicken can saely crosssimulated roads.Te United Nations: We will send a team o poul-try inspectors to the road site in question and de-termine i a crossing is viable. Ten we will orma committee to determine i the chicken crossing

should be internationally sanctioned. Tis maytake or 3 years at which time we will make anunenorceable recommendation.Woody Allen: I cant look at chickens. I get theurge to move to Rhode Island.Superman: It was my ellow crime ghter SuperChicken, in disguise as Cluck Kent.Mel Gibson: Bloody chickens! Teyre responsibleor all the bad eggs in this world.Martha Stewart: It was trying to escape my crock-pot. I wanted it or a recipe I was testing or mynew book, Cooking with Conviction.Pat Robertson: Only the good Lord knows. Butthis is typical o liberal, eminist poultry that are

clearly being tempted by the devil ttheir homes and amily. Repent, chiwill appear in the orm o a speeding strike you down.

iger Woods: It was probably scaredto hit a lot o birdies and eagles.Kirstie Alley: Because I was chasTree words: Chicken Pot Pie.William Shatner: ChicKHAAAAADeForest Kelley: I dont know, Im a chicken plucker. Wait! Look out ono... hes dead, Jim.Dr. Suess: I do not like chickens on tI do not like them with a toadI do not like them with green beansI do not like them with collard greenI do not like them in my commode.Steven Wright: I met this grouchthe side o the road today.

Lets start with a act: On November

16, the Israeli Air Force bombed the10,000-seat Palestine Stadium intoruins. Te stadium also headquar-tered the center or youth sports pro-grams throughout the Gaza Strip. Tisis the second time Israel has attenedthe acility. Te rst was in 006 andthe people o Gaza have spent the lastsix years rebuilding the elds, stands,and oces to keep the national soccerteam as well as club sports alive in theregion.

Im sure the reaction to this actwill depend on what side people takein the current conict. For the Israeligovernment and their supporters,they promised collective punish-ment ollowing the Hamas rocketsred over the border and they are

delivering collective punishment.Matan Vilnai, deputy deense ministero Israel has in the past threatened aholocaust and Gilad Sharon, son oormer Prime Minister Ariel Sharon,called or Gaza to be the new Hiro-shima. In this context, a sports acil-ity must seem like little more thantarget practice.

For those attending daily demon-strations against the carnage, thisnews o a stadiums destruction mustalso be seen as an irrelevancy. Aterall, according to Te Wall Street Jour-

nal, 90 Palestinians, including 50 ci-vilians, have been killed in Gaza; 5children are among the more than 700

injured and these numbers are climb-ing as I write. Israeli ground troopsare massing at the border and Presi-dent Obama can only bring himsel todeend Israel without criticism. Tereis only so much concern or a stadiumpeople can be expected to muster.

I think however that we should alltake a moment to ask the question,Why?

Why has the Palestinian sports in-rastructure, not to mention Palestin-ian athletes, always been a target othe Israeli military?

Why has the Palestinian domesticsoccer league only completed sevenseasons since its ounding in 1977?

Why are players commonly subject-ed to harassment and violence, not to

mention curews, checkpoints, andall sorts o legal restrictions on theirmovement?

Why were national team players Ay-man Alkurd, Shadi Sbakhe and WajehMoshate killed by the Israeli DeenseForces during the 009 military cam-paign?

Why did imprisoned national teamplayer Mahmoud Sarsak require ahunger strike, the international soli-darity campaign o Amnesty Interna-tional, and a ormal protest rom bothFIFA and the 50,000-player soccer

union FIFpro to just to win his ree-dom ater three years behind bars?

Te answer is simple.

Sports is more than loved in Gaza(and it is loved.) Its an expression ohumanity or those living under oc-cupation. Its not just soccer and itsnot just the boys. Everyone plays,with handball, volleyball, and basket-ball joining soccer as the most popu-lar choices. o have several thousandpeople gather to watch a girls sportingevent is a way o lie. Its a community

event designed not onlon the eld, but chestands. As one Palesti

Gaza said to me, [Spoto orget where we arewho we are.

Editorial

nationally and at home. Te only waythe Israeli government and its alliescan continue to act with such brazendisregard or civilian lie is i they con-

vince the world that their adversariescollectively are less than human. Tesubway ads calling Muslims savages,

the Islamophobic cartoons and videosthat are held up as examples o reespeech, are all part o a quilt that says

some deaths are not to be mourned.At home, attacking sports is about

nothing less than killing hope. Israelstotal war, underwritten by the UnitedStates, is a war not only on Hamasor military installations but on theidea that lie can ever be so careree

in Gaza as to involve play. Te objec-tive instead, is to hear these words oa young girl outside Al Shia Hospital

on November 18th who said, o theworld and people: Why should we bekilled and why shouldnt we have anormal childhood? What did we do toace all this?

I you play, you can dream. I youdream, you are imagining a better

world. As the great Olympian WilmaRudolph said, Never underestimatethe power o dreams and the inuence

o the human spirit. Te potential orgreatness lives within each o us.

Nothing marks the nihilism oIsraels project quite like this act:they dont want the people o Gazato dream. In the eyes o BenjaminNetanyahu, they are only worthy o

nightmares.

Veterans DaySo now as Im leavin, Im weary as Hell. Te conusion Im eelin, aint no tonTe words ll my head, and all to the oor. I Gods on our side, Hell stop th Bob Dylan, With God On Our Side


Speakers at the 01 local remem-brance o Veterans Day reminded usthat this Nov. 11 holiday began as Ar-mistice Day commemorating the endo what was believed to be the warto end all wars World War I.

Tat belie that war could no lon-ger be the solution to national, reli-gious or secular disputes was due tothe historically unprecedented death,destruction and human carnage themodern technology o 1914-1917brought to bear on violent humanconict.

For some reason, as one speakernoted, in 196 Congress decidedto rename Armistice Day, VeteransDay, ocusing on the heroic sacriceo the soldier, but without the addednotion o trying to move beyond the

need or such personal sacrice inthe uture o international and hu-man relations.

Ninety-our years ater the rstArmistice Day in 1918 listening toemotional words rom Front RoyalMayor im Darr recalling hi s atherslove o the holiday o remembranceand honor o sacrice; and observing

the presence o veterans and surviv-ing amily members o dierent gen-erations and dierent wars; as wellas statistics cited by VFW speakerso 67,000 homeless vets nationwideand 18 veteran suicides every day,I reected on the worlds collectiveailure to take heed o the lessons wethought we had learned way back in1918. It is a ailure perhaps reect-ed in that 196 holiday name change,a change orwarded by politicians,

not soldiers.Perhaps ironically, it is my under-

standing this is the rst Veterans Daywithout one surviving veteran romWorld War I still alive. But thinkinon all this, I ound mysel hummingand then mouthing the lyrics o anold Bob Dylan song rom the mid1960s. In honor o all our veterans,past, present and uture, I think thoselyrics appropriate to share:

A Nov. 14 public inormationalmeeting hosted by the Virginia De-partment o ransportation at FrontRoyal Fire Company One on thepending replacement o the MorgansFord Low-water Bridge drew a goodcrowd o curious citizens. Tose citi-zens may be curious because they are

Counterpoint: Really Uponwhat evidence are these statementsbased?!!?

Te bridge was built in 195 whenit likely carried more people walk-

ing or traveling on horseback or byhorse-drawn carriage than the occa-sional Roaring 0s motorcar. Tatwas about two decades ater automo-biles were introduced to the travelingpublic and VDO was only a twinklein some yet-to-be-born state bureau-crats eye. We are told the averagedaily trac crossing the bridge 30

years ago (198) was just 300 vehiclesper day. A trac count this May indi-cated a daily trac ow approaching1,900 and that is with a saety banon commercial truck trac (we sawabout 15 cars cross in a 5 to 10 min-ute span around 1:30 p.m. during aweekday photo stop there recently).

Counterpoint: Now let me get thisstraight, the large parcel landown-ers circling the wagons against thisbridge replacement like to gathersocially and hang their eet o theedge o the bridge as 1800 or so carscareully make their way past them?Okay, I have no direct knowledge thisis not true. But it sounds a little dan-gerous, kids. You might want to con-sider rubbing elbows socially, not on

the bridge, but near the south-sideparking pullover with people I otensee there shing rom the bank. You could invite them over or a shcookout ater.

Exaggerated saety concerns(What would Jessica say?)

Opponent Point 5: VDO exag-gerates saety issues at the MorgansFord site in order to instill publicear. GAES are now installed at thebridge prevent crossing during high

water.Counterpoint: Ater pointing out

the initial High Water warninggates were repeatedly vandalized,orcing VDO to spend additionalmoney to replace and solidiy theirbases, well let someone else addressthis point.

Ill stand by and eavesdrop onsome o the conversations o peoplewho are against it but Ill walk awaybeore I say something rude to them,ammy Barr, mother o 1-year-oldJessica Barr told us at the Nov. 14

meeting. Jessica was traveling romthe Stephens City area to come to theaid o a amily riend in the Howells-

ville area shortly ater 9 p.m. March30, 010 during a night o drivingrains and a ooded river. FollowingGPS into an area she was unamil-iar with, Jessica was swept into theriver, eventually drowning about 75eet downstream o the bridge atermaintaining contact with a 911 op-erator throughout the incident untilthere was no more air pocket or herto retreat to and her cell phone con-nection went dead.

Im excited about it happening,Jessicas mom said o the bridge re-placement. I wish it wasnt taking solong and I wish theyd put better sig-nage up beore and ater it happens.Te reason I come to these meetingsis I think it gives Jessica a chance tospeak to keep there rom being an-other Jessica.

ammy Barr said the day ater her

daughter drowned in 010, she droveto the site.

I knew where the warning signwas and I missed it. Tey told us shenever even got to the bridge. She wentaround that curve and her wheelswere in the water and she went oin the rocks beore the bridge. Hercar washed up against the bank right

Morgans Ford Bridge


Shenandoah County Supervi-sor Richard raczyk nds himselat ground zero o the controversyover replacement o the MorgansFord Bridge. raczyk has longsupported the replacement as asaety issue or county residentsand visitors. Te 010 death atthe bridge o 1-year-old JessicaBarr during ooding has only ac-

centuated this belie.We asked the supervisor or his

reaction to the Nov. 14 VDOPublic Inormation meeting hespent a good deal o time at, eld-ing questions and sometimescomplaints.

I eel the three-hour presen-tation was eye-opening to many

who attended. Since I spearhead-ed this project several years ago,I truly thought a replacementbridge would be a no-brainer butthat was not to be, raczyk ob-served o the mounting opposi-tion he believes is being generat-ed by a minority o area residents.Hundreds o petition signatureswere turned into me supportingthe bridge replacement by citi-zens who use it on a regular basislike I do. I handed those over to

VDO at the outset o the proj-ect.

Te bridge, according to reli-able engineers, cannot be repairedand due to its current conditionis high on VDOs replacementpriority list. So the question is,do you replace it with a two-lanebridge as presented by VDO or

do you let it all into the river in aew years eliminating the passagealtogether? Tats the basic ques-tion.

And people need to under-stand the state and ederal moneycommitted to the project will notpay or a one-lane replacement

bridge its that simple. It is notdestroying history, or swimmingor shing areas. All those ar-eas remain essentially the same,raczyk said.

I travel the bridge daily dur-ing winter ice issues and springooding and I do not consider the

current bridge a sapeople. And trac pVDO or the next dict a continual invelopment in Shenaand Happy Creek arincrease usage over

A young man who made himselthe ace o what passed or FrontRoyals rather eeble branch o theOccupy Movement in 011, willnd himsel occupying a jail cellor two years and eight monthsollowing a probation revocationhearing in Warren County Cir-cuit Court on Nov. 13.Ater hearing evidence on a se-

ries o probation violations overthe past two years, it appears thatrather than ocusing on nationalissues surrounding corruptionand potential criminality in U.S.nancial institutions, 6-year-oldJustin Michael Bailey should havespent more time ocusing on hisown legal responsibilities stem-ming rom 006 convictions onelony destruction o propertycharges.Baileys current legal problems

began with an early lashing outat authority in the orm o spray-paint vandalism targeting a num-ber o public town-owned mu-nicipal and county-owned schoolproperties, as well as run ins witha business owner near the inter-section o East Main and ChesterStreets.Released on probation ater

those 006 vandalism incidentswith restitution responsibilitieso over $3,400, as well as otherprobation requirements, includ-

ing substance abuse counselingand maintaining a regular sched-ule o contact with a probationocer, prosecution evidence in-dicated Bailey chose to push hisluck and stretch the boundar-ies o the legal systems toleranceat non-compliance with thoseterms.Bailey admitted to those ear-

lier lapses, blaming himsel butclaiming to have now seen theerror o his ways. Tose errorsincluded paying only $10.89 o a$3,431.8 restitution bill; gettingarrested twice or drunk in pub-lic; testing positive or marijuana;getting convicted on a 008 pre-scription raud charge; ailing tomaintain or complete his sub-stance abuse counseling classes;and not bothering to phone orvisit his probation ocer as re-quired and requested.Deense attorney Neal Knudson

presented two witnesses, Baileyand Sherry Hall o Street WiseMinistries. Both testied that thedeendant was trying to turn apositive corner in his lie with thehelp o the non-denominational

ministry or troubled or downon their luck youth. However, onNov. 13, 01, Bailey ound out itwas too late, that ater six yearso playing a shell game with thesystem, as Assistant Common-wealths Attorney Bryan Laytontermed it, his luck had nally runout.Prior to ruling on the revocation

request, Judge Dennis L. Huppasked the deendant i he wantedto say anything.Tey said I was going to press

my luck I did and I was stupidor that. But Im serious aboutgoing to college, Bailey, who hasbeen jailed or one month andone day ollowing the revocationling, began. Street Wise Minis-tries Hall had testied that Baileyhad a passion or cooking andhad been in contact with LibertyUniversity about their culinaryschool program.Why should I believe that?

Hupp, who noted he has presid-ed over Baileys legal cases since006, pressed the deendant.Im 6; Im not willing to mess

around anymore. Im too old to

keep messing up, Bailey replied.During direct testimony Baileypointed to other jail inmates hisage, who he said treated jail like avacation. Tey love it here (jail) I dont want to be like that, Bai-ley testied.I believe in second and third

chances, Hupp responded to thedeendants assertion he had -nally seen the light and changedat a undamental, personal level.However, the judge then re-

counted earlier probation viola-tions that have returned Bailey tojail or various periods beore hewas again released on those sec-ond and third chances. Te judgealso noted Baileys ailure on hisrestitution responsibility, point-ing to the eeble $10.89 paymenton a $3,431-plus vandalism resti-tution responsibility.I understand you want to be a

Te sheri and I wanted an outside agency to conduct the investthere could not appear to be any avoritism or partiality shown.Chie Norman Shiett

Public safety


Te national media may haveCIA Director David Patreus andU.S. ranking Aghan war GeneralJohn Allens sex and e-mail scan-dals, but right here in River Citywe may have our own story involv-ing the arrogance o power, albeiton an epochally smaller scale andstage.

Okay, theres no sex involved andno supreme commanders whoseproessional heads, or at least eyeshave rolled. But as o their Nov. 5resignations, there are three or-mer Warren County Sheris O-ce deputies now out o nice lawenorcement jobs, apparently inthe case o at least two, due to adisregard or some o the laws theywere hired to help enorce.

wo o three deputies who re-signed, Brad Pugh and David

Robinson, were charged on Nov.10 with misdemeanor charges ounlawul hunting. Pugh was alsocharged with hunting without a li-cense and leaving wanton (carcass)waste behind. Te latter charge isdescribed on the warrant as killand knowingly allow a game ani-mal to be wasted without makinga reasonable eort to retrieve theanimal and retain it.

Eric Ramey was the third WCSOdeputy to resign Nov. 5, ater aninvestigation by Game & InlandFisheries Ocer Kevin G. Bilwinwas completed. But Ramey wasnot charged on Nov. 10 with Pughand Robinson. We asked SheriDaniel McEathron i Ramey mightbe given the opportunity to applyor reinstatement since he was notcharged.

Im not going to comment onthat. It was a personnel matterthat was handled internally, the

sheri replied.Despite the town location o the

suspected violations, FRPD ChieNorman Shiett turned the inves-tigation over to Game & InlandFisheries to avoid any potential ap-pearance o conict o interest dueto the close working relationshipo the countys two law enorce-ment agencies and its two chies.

Te sheri and I wanted an out-side agency to conduct the investi-gation so there could not appearto be any avoritism or partialityshown, Chie Shiett told us.

Sheri McEathron agreed, say-ing, We discussed it early onand decided letting a third partyhandle it would be the best way toproceed.

Shiett was a major in theWCSO prior to being selected bytown council to replace retiringFRPD Chie Richard Furr on Aug.4. Shiett became town police

chie on Aug. 31.While no reerence to the loca-

tion o the incidents is in the war-rants, inormation received by thispaper indicated it was o Route 55East, on the hill behind the WZRVradio station in the own o FrontRoyal. Te situation appears tohave developed ater a FrontRoyal Police ocer who lives inthat area, identied as Lt. ClintKeller, reported the deputies mayhave been hunting near his home.Keller was one driving orce inpresenting a deer-culling programimplemented within the town lim-its last year.

Tat program is run under strictsupervision o the Virginia Depart-ment o Game & Inland Fisherieswith operational oversight by theSuburban Whitetail ManagementProgram o Northern Virginia. Aspeople involved with the programsince its inception in the com-

Bee bulgogi is standard Ko-rean amily ood. Its made withmarinated broiled (or bbqd)sliced bee and served with sidessuch as kim chee, parboiled spin-ach, parboiled soy bean sprouts,roasted sesame seeds, seaweedand rice. When possible I substi-tute venison or bee, thus creat-ing Venison Bulgogi.

Venison Bulgogi

1 lb venison (or bee) steak1/4 c. soy sauce1/4 c. water sugar4 whole green onions, chopped

1 medium sized onion, sliced1/ sesame oil1/8 t black pepperone garlic clove, peeled andcrushed1/8 t grated resh ginger1 sake or dry sherry (optional)toasted sesame seeds

sides: parboiled spinach, par-boiled soy sprouts, roasted sesa-me seeds, seaweed, kim chee andrice.

1. Prepare the marinade. Mixall the ingredients (except meat)

together, ensuring that the sug-ar dissolves. Add the meat andtoss. Marinate at least 4 hours,or overnight in the ridge. Tendrain, separating the liquid rom

the onions and meat.

. Start the rice.

3. Heat a 1 rying pan over me-dium heat, spray with oil. Addthe marinated meat, onions andgreen onions and stir until themeat is cooked. Slice, sprinklewith sesame seeds and serve withsides. Te seaweed can be usedas a wrap too. Feeds 4, dependingon appetite.

Notes

Te spinach, soy sprouts andthe sesame seeds can be madein advance. All store well in theridge.

Kim chee is spicy ermentednapa cabbage and an excellentcondiment or meat, eggs andbuckwheat noodles. Te FrontRoyal Giant carries it in theirproduce section. Kim chee is alsomade with green onions, daikonand cucumber; some give it su-perood status.

(Managing editors note: man,Im drooling is it deer season yetand would any local hunter wantto contribute a little o his take tothis recipe?!!? Youll get some too,I promise Leslie, dont orget tosave some or the hunter.)

Wildlife

By Leslie FiddlerWarren County Report

Conservation scientist BillMcShea spoke about Deer asCritical Architects o the For-est at the Beautication o FrontRoyal Committees recent annualscholarship luncheon. McSheascredentials include wildlie ecol-ogist, computational biologistand member o the internationalcommittee charged with over-sight o the worlds deer popula-tions. His good natured, casualdemeanor and disarming presen-

tation created an immediate rap-port with the audience.

McShea began with an over-view o deer populations. He said

that there are 50 species o deerin the world, with a third o thoseendangered. In the 1800s Virgin-ias deer were rare too becauselocal game was a popular res-taurant dish. Ten in the 190sand 30s wildlie agencies pio-neered species restoration. Deerwere shipped rom Arkansas toShenandoah National Park in the1930s and 40s and the white taildeer population rebounded. o-day, even though its habitat hasdeclined, the North Americanwhite tailed deer is more abun-dant than 00 years ago - 35 mil-

lion deer today compared to 15- 0 million deer then.

Deer are the orests chie ar-chitects and engineers McShea

stated, and as an example de-scribed the impact o deer on mi-gratory birds and small mammalpopulations. Specically, deereat birds nesting vegetation, sothere are ewer birds. Deer alsosuccessully compete or acornswith small mammals. With ewersmall mammals hawks start eat-ing small birds. Deer also aectinvasive plant species by clearingout natives and turning over lealitter. McShea described deer asdisturbance agents responsibleor a loss o diversity and oster-ing the invasion o exotic plantsand animals.

McShea pronounced contem-porary Virginia as deer heavenwith its orest edges, corn eldsand landscaping. Dogs andences are the best controls hesaid, while adding that a prop-erty owners deer control is onlyas good as their neighbors. Goodmanagement happens at thecommunity level... We have totake ownership o the deer.

I think that densities need tobe brought down with a goal oincreasing diversity. McShea sit-ed the states hunting programs,including urban hunts, as posi-tive steps. However, they are lim-

ited by a reliance ohunters home reeand, in the case o HHungry, processingper deer.

Ater the talk thisMcShea what he elwas. He replied thdense deer populaprivate land and tpartnerships betwand private land ohelp curb the probsuggested an increaged urban hunts.
