God may be your co-pilot, but does he have a valid license?

Driver claim in Villa Community Center crash nets mental evaluation

Point of entry one: from where suspect says he let God do the driving.

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report The driver of a vehicle that slammed into the Villa Avenue Community Center after crashing through the

chain-link fence at North Shenandoah Avenue and Kendrick Lane onto Randolph-Macon Academy property has been sent to a state facility for mental evaluation.

According to the Front Royal Po-

Point of entry two: where suspect and divinely-piloted vehicle entered county government property. lice incident report, after officers responded at 12:58 a.m., Saturday morning, June 21, they found a hole in the rear wall of the community

center apparently made by a 2011 gray Chevrolet four-door sedan inside the building. A man who identified himself as Mario Rolando

Yaxcal-Pec, of Culpeper, was found “sitting in a chair reading a book.”

After verifying his identity through dispatch, officers asked the 30-yearold Yaxcal-Pec “what occurred and how he ended up inside the building.”

The report of responding Officer T. McIntyre, who was accompanied at the scene by Officers M. Gallagher and J. Grimm, states, “Mario claimed that he was brought here to fight the war of the worlds and advised that God drove him to the location.”

Asked if he had tried to correct the path of the vehicle after it crashed onto the R-MA property at North Shenandoah Avenue, Yaxcal-Pec replied “No,” adding “that once he drove through the first fence he took his hands off the wheel and let God take over.”

Officers then gave Yaxcal-Pec four field sobriety tests, all of which he passed.

He was then placed in custody on See CRASH,

“Mario claimed that he was brought here to fight the war of the worlds and advised that God drove him to the location … once he drove through the first fence he took his hands off the wheel and let God take over.” – excerpts of Villa Avenue Community Center incident report CRASH, from an Emergency Custody Order due to the nature of his answers to questions about the incident. He was taken to Warren Memorial Hospital and cleared medically. He was then interviewed by a representative of Northwestern Community Services, who found probable cause to issue a Temporary Detention Order (TDO).

The TDO was issued with an order to transport Yaxcal-Pec to Western State for mental evaluation.

Yaxcal-Pec was charged with reckless driving and driving on a suspended license. A hearing on those charges is scheduled of July 8 on the 9 a.m. docket of Warren County General District Court.

Open for business During his update on county business at the Front Royal Town Council meeting of June 23, Warren County Administrator Doug Stanley opened by reporting the damage to the Villa Avenue Community Center from the accident. He later told us, “We have closed off to two rooms until repairs are completed. We still have a three other rooms that are available. On Saturday morning our staff met with a contractor and we are looking to have someone in this week to begin repairs to the facility. We are hoping to have the facility repaired sometime next month. The current repair estimate is around $75,000” God is my co-pilot

You know, the parking lot was probably empty after midnight on June 21 too. Patched wall shows point of vehicle entry.

With his claim of divine inspiration for his adventure, as well as the Almighty’s alleged direct control of his vehicle across the R-MA property and into a county building to begin his “war of the worlds” I have to wonder at the implications of Yaxcal-Pec’s religious beliefs.

He was identified as a Hispanic male and Hispanics have a traditionally high membership in the Catholic Church; but then his ill-fated drive did occur on the Summer Solstice, a date of some significance in pagan and other nature-based faiths.

Let’s see, who can we pin this one on …?

Engle’s Angle: “Twice a Year”

with a thick accent who worked on my teeth. I’m fairly certain he had a dental license. Even if he had told me what he was doing, I couldn’t have understood him.

When I was a teenager, I wore braces. My orthodontist would tell me what pain he was about to inflict before he did it, but not during. I even named one of his torture tools “the Thumper”, a springloaded device that I wasn’t real fond of.

I’ve near heard of any other dentists like mine.

Where else can you get a dental exam and be entertained all at the same time? It’s like a two for one special. I almost look forward to my twice a year appointments.

Almost.

After all, it is the dentist.

“Good, good, good!”

Translation – no cavities.

“You’re boring. Get out of here.”

Translation – No cavities.

See you in six months.

“Smash, smash, smash!”

No, I’m not watching professional wrestling.

“Silver, silver, silver!”

And it’s not a reality show about miners in Alaska.

“Ok, rinse. No food for 30 minutes.”

I’m at the dentist. The poor sucker in the chair next to me just had a filling replaced.

And the announcer?

That’s my dentist. He’s been doing play-by-play dentistry for at least 20 years, ever since I’ve been going to him.

If you were a new patient sitting in the waiting room, you might have second thoughts about walking through that door. And if you heard the following, you’d probably think something else was going on. Something a little more intimate.

“Touching you, touching you!”

Translation – Mr. Dentist is pressing on your tooth.

“I want you, I want you!”

Translation – he’s scraping one of your pearly whites, but whatever’s on it won’t come off.

“Got it!”

Translation – he got it.

My dentist makes me laugh, which is hard to do Other people tell the when I have a dental pick, author he’s boring and mirror and suction hose they’re not even dentists. crammed in my mouth.

OH DEER – a close call on North Royal Avenue

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report Talk about a deer in the headlights – well, it was 8:10 a.m., so headlights likely weren’t a factor – but STILL!!!

According to Front Royal Police Officer Tony Clingerman, who responded to the scene, on Thursday, June 19, just north of 13th Street

on North Royal Avenue a deer was struck by a southbound 2005 Honda Pilot driven by Robert “Robbie�

Tennett Jr., the deer then careened across the median onto the hood and through the windshield of a northbound 2013 Subaru Outback driven

by Janice Foreman.

As illustrated in the accompanying photo, the deer came to rest on the

passenger side of Foreman’s vehicle, partially on the seat just vacated by the child she had just dropped off at her babysitter’s.

Tennett was transported to Warren Memorial Hospital to be treated for what were described as minor lacerations from broken glass. Foreman was not injured, but FRPD officers said she was shaken up by, not only the unforeseen circumstance of having a deer come crashing through your windshield, but the ‘might have been� had her child still occupied that passenger’s seat.

Officer Clingerman verified that the deer actually survived the collisions and had to be removed from Foreman’s vehicle to be euthanized on the scene.

The incident certainly resurrects concerns about the county’s wildlife population, particularly deer and bear (well, skunks too), making

Deer roaming into populated and heavily-trafficked roads is a phenomena not limited to more rural, western locations like ours. Recent years have seen increasing incidents in Northern Virginia and the D.C. Metro area, as well as our rural communities to the west.

“‘If they are good workmen, they may be from Asia, Africa or Europe; they may be (Islamic), Jews, Christians of any sect, or maybe atheists.’ He was talking about needing good workers for his home to do their jobs professionally while he was gone.” – Kelyla Spicer quoting George Washington

Pagan ministers address tarot, town ‘gypsy’ prohibitions Nature faith practitioners have their say on issue of religious freedom

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report

An otherwise uneventful Front Royal Town Council meeting took an interesting turn when two religious officials of Druid and Pagan affiliation addressed the recent controversy over a tarot card reader plying her trade in a downtown business. In early May the owner of the Brooklyn Store on East Main Street asked Pagan Reverend Maya White Sparks to shut her operation down after several local Catholics approached her with complaints about the presence of a tarot card reader in the town’s business district. The Brooklyn Store is about a half block from the Catholic book and paraphernalia store Faithful & True.

On May 27, three speakers appearing to be from the local Catholic community addressed council urging maintenance of, or even strengthening, a very old town code prohibiting “a company of gypsies or any other strolling company” from “pretending to tell fortunes or to practice any socalled ‘magic art.’ ” During those comments and others in a series of letters sent to council the previous day, the anti-pagan contingent equated the practice of such nature-based faiths that pre-date Catholicism and Christianity by thousands of years, with Satanism, Voodoo and generally bad behavior.

Reverends Kelyla Spicer and Esmeralda Barnes addressed the negative stereotyping of their belief system and town codes targeting a specific ethnic minority (gypsies) and a categorization of nature faith practices as “magical arts”.

“I am not here to get into a religious debate about anything, I am here to discuss two factors as to why I think you should just trash this law (gypsyfortune telling ban),” Kelyla Spicer of Middletown, who described herself as Celtic-Druid, began. First, she questioned a portrayal of Catholicism as the spiritual face of Front Royal, as suggested by the anti-tarot speakers of May 27.

“I for one totally disagree with that, not because of my religious belief system but because a wise man was once quoted, ‘If they are good workmen, they may be from Asia, Africa or Europe; they may be Mohamatans, which is Islamic, Jews, Christians of any sect, or maybe atheists.’ He was talking about needing good workers for his home to do their jobs professionally while he was gone – and that was George Washington. He knew that good men do not require their character be based on their faith, [but] by their actions.

“And this is also how Front Royal was made; it was by the blood and

sweat of many diverse people. It was not by just one religion and one only,” Spicer told Front Royal’s current

elected representatives. “And that’s why I’m here – for education, not to judge. I don’t judge, I don’t take for

granted and I don’t ridicule. I’m here because a group of people are being mislabeled.”

Spicer then told council she believed the anti-gypsy, anti-fortune telling law was illegal – “Not just mentioning the

“Charlatans exist across all religions and in every culture the world over.

Spicer said she was hopeful that the publicity surrounding the controversy could serve a positive function in the end, one of education about what those other non-Christian pathways actually encompass. “We’re not Satanists, we’re not bad people. We are actually out there in your community helping: we protest against fracking; we help raise money for women who have been in abusive

situations, for the elderly; we collect food for the needy; we do lake clean ups like with Spiral Grove, Maya White Sparks religious group, twice a year ‌ A lot of people don’t hear about these things because we don’t live to do this for [glory], we do this because this is how we live. “And to us this law even existing is very degrading to us.

Front Royal Of town code wording “pretending to tell fortunes� Spicer added, “that is so belittling, in a law like that to say we are pretending – that is our belief system; that is real to us.�

Spicer concluded by saying she understood imposing a business license on any street vending operation, but questioned such licensing requirement on someone, like Sparks had been, set up inside a business that already pays a variety of business, property and real estate taxes.

Then it was Reverend Esmeralda Barnes turn. “I have driven a long way despite serious health issues to stand with the family of earth-based religions of this community – pagans, Druids, mystics, gypsies, just to name a few of us,� Barnes, who came to the podium with the help of a cane, began. “Code

Noting that she was a seminarytrained inter-faith minister “and proud 4th degree high priestessâ€?, Barnes said her practice, including Warren County clients, was “a spiritual counseling practice of some 15 yearsâ€? in which she “partners with doctors, social workers and others who share my commitment to doing what it takes to helping people heal.

A short time after these remarks were delivered several council members addressed the topic during their individual reports. Vice-Mayor Shae Parker began by observing that the sitting council inherited the code in question and wasn’t even aware of its existence until it popped up in the middle of the citizen complaints that led to Sparks removal from the Brooklyn Store at the request of the owner who allowed her there in the first place. It is a request we have been told was due to the store owner’s desire to avoid an ongoing confrontation with a highly vocal, socially and politically-active local religious group.

Parker noted all manner of “magical arts� activities are allowed by another town code with payment of a business license fee. Of the gypsy-fortune telling prohibition code, Parker added, “I don’t think you’ll find anyone on council who doesn’t agree that there’s some discriminatory and inflammatory language in that section of code that we should take care of. It was written in a much different time (apparently not for some),� which the vice mayor pinned down to pre-1969, though he could not say how “pre�.

Councilman Bret Hrbek concurred with Parker’s assessment, particularly on the discriminatory nature of the use of the term “gypsy�. Hrbek added that the fortune-telling prohibition was part of a series of town ordinances designed to prevent street and door-to-door peddling of any kind. “But as Mr. Parker pointed out it was written in a different time, a time I hope has passed, and we should get rid of that language, so we can be more succinct about what the purpose is,� Hrbek concluded.

Councilman Tom Sayre, himself an active member of the local Catholic community, then asked Town Attorney Doug Napier several questions about the business license aspects of existing codes. Sayre asked if someone could read tarot cards if they paid the $400 business license cited in Section 98-42. Napier replied yes of that code that lists activities allowed by license as “fortuneteller, clairvoyant, phrenologist, spirit medium, astrologist, hypnotist and palmist.� “So there’s no need to change our code, maybe clean up some of the language,� Sayre said. “Ultimately it would be best to remove the offending ordinance, but as written I don’t think we can enforce it,� Napier replied.

And so ended the June 23 discussion of what is the appropriate practice of faith and/or religion in downtown Front Royal, a town once and still in some circles, known as Hell Town. It is a name garnered due to the wild na-

A different perspective

(Expires (Expires8/1/2014) 9/1/13)

During a conversation with Spicer, Barnes and several supporters following the June 23 meeting, the nature of the negative generalizations made publicly by a few Catholics about paganism were among the issues discussed. It was observed that linking paganism to Voodoo was somewhat ironic since Voodoo actually appears to be a hybrid of Catholicism and other faiths, particularly traditional African tribal religions, including that of former African slaves comprising the population of former French colonies like Haiti.

It was also noted there is significant historical evidence linking Catholicism and many older faiths, including

The regional ‘Big Hotel’ opens for business on schedule Thousands tour facility, hundreds loading in for various length stays

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report After nine years of discussion, planning, debate and drop outs, the Rappahannock-Shenandoah-Warren (RSW) Regional Jail opened its doors for a series of introductions, first to tri-county officials, judges and the NEW THIS YEAR!

media and then the public on June 17; and finally to its new residents through the last week of June.

And for all the gushing over the quality of the facility’s interior (even better than Otis’s digs in the old small-town law enforcement comedy TV show “The Andy Griffith Show”) and non-ominous appearance from

the outside (is it a shopping center?), it took 26th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Dennis L. Hupp to put things back in perspective after the morning tour – “But it is a jail.”

“It was impressive – but I don’t want to go back there any time soon,” Supervisor Richard Traczyk commented at the Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting the evening of the ribbon cutting, official and public tours. It was commented that the latter drew over 2,000 people between noon and 4 p.m. on June 17.

Observing the large crowds lined up for tours beginning at noon on June 17, this observer was left to wonder if tri-county citizens were curious about where their share ($44 million) of the $79 million (principal) to $122 million (with 30 years of interest) project has gone, or were just scouting out digs for wayward family members about to or likely to end up in one of the modern, if somewhat Spartan accommodations in coming days, weeks, months and years.

This reporter even tried out one of the double accommodation cells for a photo op. Unfortunately, I had lost track of my promised “roomie”, Front Royal Councilman Tom Sayre, by that time. As we prepared for our noon tour, Sayre had promised to pose “behind bars” with me as part of our new mutual non-aggression and BFF pact. Oh well …

But more seriously, the jail will open on schedule (July 1, 2014) ending a process that began in 2005, with Fauquier and Page Counties involved. And while some controversy

Public safety

I knew this media day was a trap – can’t I at least have single occupancy, Danny – PLEAZZZ …

Like we said, it’s a jail JAIL, from 11 savings on construction costs due to a 50-50 state-locality split versus a possible 25-percent max state contribution had the involved counties proceeded with individual jail expansion or new constructions projects, was the decisive factor for the three county boards that stayed on board.

Warren, Shenandoah and Rappahannock all faced replacement of either obsolete or overcrowded county jails. And while Shenandoah County Sheriff Tim Carter was a hard sell, asserting locally-controlled alternatives could have been more cost-efficient, easily-managed and accessible, once his county board disagreed by voting to participate in the regional project, he became a team player and contributor to transition committee strategies to facilitate a smooth transition from county to regional incar-

ceration.

And what makes up this behemoth that began transferring inmates in late June and is officially opening for business on July 1? The most recent overall summary I could find as reported in October 2012 when financing was approved, indicate the following: · COSTS: approximate $68-million construction cost and 30-year, net bond issue debt service of $79 million, with a gross debt service, $122.75 million; once opens for business, the annual operating expense is forecast to begin at $9.75 million

and climb to $11.63 million by 2021.

Non-local revenues estimated between $6.7 million and $7.9 million will help cover those expenses. · CAPACITY: 563-inmate capacity; the three member counties are forecast to use 270 of the available inmate bed space, with as many as 293 beds, with double bunking, going to outside jurisdictions on rental arrangements. · OPERATING EXPENSES: Local funding splits are based on the number of inmate beds they fill: Rappahannock – 36 inmates (13.3 percent funding share); Shenandoah – 99 inmates (36.7 percent funding share): Warren – 135 inmates (50 percent funding share). · SAVINGS: The savings estimates for Warren County were $2.2 million over first seven-years; $1.8 million for Shenandoah County. However, those savings could be projected to be as much as $8 million for Warren and $5 million for Shenandoah factoring in the potential of no state help on local projects had those municipalities proceeded down the individual county jail path.

While the process and this reporter’s coverage of it dates back to 2005 and a different local newspaper, the first reference I could find on the pages of Warren County Report date to March 2007, when I reported

that: “While county officials have been informed cost estimates on a regional jail have skyrocketed $17.76 million since a December 2005 consultant estimate of $64 million, little has changed as far as the pros and cons of continuing with the project.”

And that seems to have held in the intervening nine years – at least that’s every involved municipality’s story – and they’re sticking to it. Like we said, it’s a jail

Two original symphonic experiences are also on tap, in addition to bluegrass royalty and a tribute to one of the top bands in pop music history.

The 2014 season of the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival: Friday, July 18 at 8 p.m.

Straight No Chaser Ticket prices start at $39, in advance.

If the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;male a cappella groupâ&#x20AC;? conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think again. The guys of Straight No Chaser are neither straitlaced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. As original member Randy Stine comments, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take the music very seriously; we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take ourselves too seriously.â&#x20AC;? In the process, they are reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape.

In an era when so much pop music

is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is the real deal - the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental senseâ&#x20AC;Ś and with a sense of humor.    Saturday, July 19 at 8 p.m.

Warren/Frederick

For a household utilizing 1000 kilowatt hours per billing period, the 5percent increase will net a $5.26 per month hike in the first year.

REC explains coming county electric rate hikes

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report

On June 17, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) official Matt Faulconer explained coming rate hikes from the regional, non-profit energy cooperative that took over service in portions of the county from Allegheny Power several years ago. Faulconer, Manager of External Affairs, told the Warren County Board of Supervisors that the hikes are strictly limited to the recovery of costs of the provision of electric service.

The rate hikes have been approved by the State Corporation Commis-

sion (SCC). In a power point and press release included in the supervisorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda packet, Faulconer noted that REC customers in the area previously served by Allegheny (new territories) were paying different rates than in longer serviced REC areas.

Current â&#x20AC;&#x153;new territoryâ&#x20AC;? rates are based on Allegheny Power costs dating back to the 1990s. New rates will begin the transition of new territory customers to actual costs calculated in 2012 and updated through May 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transition creditsâ&#x20AC;? will be applied to bills to allow the phased-in move to cover actual costs of service.

The hikes, which will be phased

in over the next several years, are planned to increase rates by only 5 percent annually until local rates come in line with the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard rates elsewhere where the cost of service has already been factored in. For a household utilizing 1000 kilowatt hours per billing period, the 5-percent increase will net a $5.26 per month hike in the first year.

An example of the impact of the transition credits on a 1000 kWh bill was an actual rate increase totaling $121.54, with an $11.23 credit reducing the bill to $110.31. So if my â&#x20AC;&#x153;figuringâ&#x20AC;? is spot on, that means the pre-transition bill on 1000kWh was $105.05, with the transition credit of

$11.23 reducing the initial rate hike to the prescribed 5 percent number of $5.26 and an initial new bill of $110.31 â&#x20AC;Ś or thereabouts.

Faulconer noted that despite variables like the â&#x20AC;&#x153;polar vortexâ&#x20AC;? that dipped temperatures to arctic-like levels for extended periods last winter, local bills were on average only $4 more than they were in 2011. The

January 2014 polar vortex created unanticipated costs leading to an unexpected increase of $5.63 this May. Another chart indicated a national average bill (at 1000kWh) of $132; a Virginia average of $117; with an REC â&#x20AC;&#x153;new territoryâ&#x20AC;? average of $110.

Wayside actress returns for summer youth acting classes

Thomasin Savaiano during wayside Theatre tenure

By Malcolm Barr, Sr. Warren County Report Long-time Wayside Theatre actress Thomasin Savaiano will return from her Chicago home to coach area youths in acting at the Youth Development Center in Winchester between July 21 and Aug. 1. The

classes are for youth age 7 through 12.

During her 15 years at the old Wayside, Savaiano was almost as well known for her work with the younger set - she was the creator and founder of the Young Performers’ Workshops - as she was for her lead roles in scores of plays at the

half-century old theater, a local area landmark.

Despite leaving for their Chicago home with husband Warner Crocker last fall, Savaiano’s success instructing young actors was not forgotten locally. It is at the invitation of Claire McDonald, principal of the Independent School of Stephens City and Winchester, that Savaiano is returning to teach acting classes at the Youth Development Center, 3 Battaile Drive, Winchester, this summer.

“The school’s Young Actors’ Academy is part of a long term plan to offer performing arts experience to students all over the area,” McDonald told me in response to an e-mail inquiry. “Our select performing arts program (which runs during the school year) served 15 students from seven area schools during the past year,” she said.

The performing arts students performed “Sleeping Beauty” in the spring and “Cinderella” in the fall, attracting audiences totaling almost 1,000, McDonald reported.

Savaiano said she was “thrilled” to be invited back to the area. Plans are

in hand by a group of self-described “Wayside junkies” to greet the actress at Middletown’s Irish Isle restaurant and pub on Sunday, July 27, 4 - 7 p.m. All who knew or admired her are invited to stop by and say hello.

A word about the Independent School of Winchester: it was founded in 2008 with six students.

In 2014-15, it will serve 60-70 chil-

dren in Stephens City (elementary students) and Winchester, and also offer parent education programs.

McDonald describes it as a “progressive school ... tailored to the needs of each individual student, from kindergarten through high school.”

For information on the school and on the Thomasin Savaiano acting classes, e-mail Claire@iswva.org

Small Businesses rule in Stephens City The New Town Creamery is the talk of the town

By Sue Golden Frederick County Report

We’ve written about many of the small businesses in Stephens City before: Sophia’s, Stonewall’s Trading Post, Curves, Artistically Framed, Joe’s Barber Shop, Fish in a Barrel, and Shawn’s Restaurant to name a few.

Here is another one to try out.

When Emily and “Rusty” Rust became parents, they decided it was time to follow their dream. Rusty worked for Schenks. Emily worked as a cake decorator and in the food industry.

When their daugheter Lilli came along, they did not want to put her in day care. The old McCoy’s building in Stephens City was available. They decided to take the leap and open the store they had been researching.

The New Town Creamery sells hot dogs, hamburgers, steak and cheese subs, French fries, onion rings and about every kind of sweet you have and haven’t heard of. The entire front of the building is covered with their offerings: black raspberry and coconut, orange dream, banana and peanut butter, banana and butter rum, funnel cakes, fried oreos. As their facebook page says, “the possibilities are endless.”

Rusty says he tries to take the best from other businesses and make them his own. Emily says they specialorder the hot dogs from New York and spend extra on the French fries, because they want customers to really enjoy the food and come back for more.

It must be working. The lines seem to appear the moment they open at 11am, and continue throughout the day. There are tables, chairs and umbrellas for your dining pleasure.

Marie Wible, co-owner of Artistically Framed in Stephens City, had the hot dog, French fries and soft drink special for lunch recently. The hot dog “indeed, was an old fashioned toasted bun hot dog with a very beefy taste. The French fries were perfectly seasoned and a great size.”

Dayle Place Disque of Stephens City takes her kids for ice cream. “We really enjoy it. There are lots of toppings and flavors. The kids love it, especially my nine year old Delaney.”

The New Town Creamery is located at 320 Fairfax Pike in Stephens City.

They can be reached at (540) 5082166. They are open 11 am to 10 pm seven days a week for the summer.

Don’t forget to check out their facebook page. Emily posts daily specials, so you will want to check it often.

Emily and Lilli are ready to serve you at the New Town Creamery

N.W. Virginia Regional Drug Task Force taking action

By Sue Golden Frederick County Report There have been 15 heroin deaths and 28 overdoses (that we know of ) in 2014 in our region. Let that sink in.

Fifteen people lost their lives because they were shooting up heroin.

Although the heroin crisis is national in scope, especially the in north east, the Virginia State Police Northwest Virginia Regional Drug Group is taking action. First it had a law enforcement summit and invited other law enforcement agencies and units, including the US Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Medical teams also attended. The group set up a multiyear task force, the Northwest Virginia Regional Drug Task Force.

Next the group held a Community Stakeholders meeting. That meeting was attended by law enforcement, parents, educators, health care providers, elected officials, the judiciary, and the medical/treatment commu-

Ivy Lodge Gift Shop

nity. Three subcommittees were created at the Community Stakeholders: fundraising, best practices and community outreach. Each of the subcommittees are meeting and will report at the next Community Stakeholders meeting in July.

According to Virginia State Police Supervisory Special Agent Jay Perry the participants are attacking the epidemic on a number of levels. The police are working very closely the US Attorney and the US Drug Authority to aggressively investigate and prosecute drug-related cases, resulting in hefty jail time.

Perry also asks that the community get involved, especially parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talk to your kids about drugs and the consequences. Heroin use usually starts with prescription drug use. Be aware of any drugs in your home. If they are not being used, bring them to a day when drugs can be turned in to the

authorities for proper disposal. Do not leave them in your house. If you see drug activity, call the police. We need to start a dialogue and keep it going. Heroin is highly addictive and deadly.â&#x20AC;?

There were three heroin related deaths in May and three overdoses, one in Front Royal and two in Frederick County. As of the 25th, June has had no deaths, but five overdoses.

There are ways to get involved in the community. Attend a meeting of the Community Stakeholders. Attend a Survivors and Family meeting.

Lisa Wilkins organized theâ&#x20AC;? Grief Recovery After a Substance Passingâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;GRASPâ&#x20AC;? after losing her son to heroin in Clarke County. To find out about GRASP, contact Lisa at lisawilkins57@gmail.com.

New business

Naughty Girls Donut Shop hosts Grand Opening in Riverton Commons

Tiana Ramos and Kiana Hoston of Naughty Girls Donut Shop

Teenager turns entrepreneurial dream into reality

By Carol Ballard Warren County Report The Grand Opening of the Front Royal location of a fast-growing chain, Naughty Girls Donut Shops, is set for Saturday, June 28 at 20 Riverton Commons. Breakfast will be served at 8 a.m., and will, of course, include hot doughnuts. Lunch will follow.

Festivities scheduled for the big day include: The local Poor Boys National Car Show featuring more than

50 period vehicles; a professional photographer to take pictures of owners and their car with a Naughty Girls pin up girl; make-overs; henna tattoos and a booth with Naughty Girl items. A Moon Bounce will be available to entertain the children.

Police will provide child protection IDs. On the breakfast (served before 11:00 a.m.) menu is a variety of Donut Palm Panini Sandwiches, with ingredients like buttermilk fried chicken; Avocados, Homemade Virginia sausage and farm-fresh eggs. For lunch, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a choice of Fried Chicken and Lunch Palm Panini Sandwiches or savory chicken served with honey pecan glaze. All entrees come with scratch-made donuts on the side.

This is the fulfillment of a project that Natalie Ramos, her daughter Tiana and Tianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend Kiana Hoston, had been working on for

two years.

The girls are both 17-year-old Warren County High School students, and all are residents of Linden.

And their timing is good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is perfect because doughnuts are a big trend right now,â&#x20AC;? Tiana said.

The 50s themed shop has posters on the walls of World War II favorite Betty Grable as well as Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page-the beauties whose photos were popular during the 50s. Tiana said they were chosen because they were the three original pinup girls.

The Grable Collection includes classic cake donuts with a flavorful twist. Yeast donuts with unique combinations of toppings make up the Monroe Collection, and the Page Collection features yeast donuts with over-the-top fillings.

The idea for the 50s theme came from Natalie because they all love the forties look and the girls often wear clothes that look like they could have come from those times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We both dress up in Rockabilly style, with high-waisted jeans, tied T-shirts and combat boots,â&#x20AC;? said Kiana. Betty Grable often posed wearing a brief bathing suit and combat boots, as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;? girl, during the Second World War. The creative dishes and unique restaurant setting wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happening if Tiana didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the dream and the drive and stamina to make it come true. But her parents and her best friend, Kiana have been right there to support her along the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to be a pastry chef since I was 10 years old,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This realization came, she said,

after Natalie, who is a chef herself, helped her make her first cheesecake. She recently won a four-year scholarship to the Culinary Institute of America, in upstate New York and will study to be a sugar artist.

She created the recipes for all the donuts, sandwiches and chicken dishes, designed the menu and the merchandise items for Naughty Girls, and has worked at the shop along with finishing high school.

When Tiana told her parents that her ambition was to be a pastry chef, it was the spark that caused her parents to move Naughty Girls forward.

This summer she will devote all

her time to work at the donut shop.

This will include getting up at 2 a.m. so customers will have super fresh donuts when the shop opens every morning.

The girls told the story of one grueling day they experienced recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spent 15 hours making doughnuts for the Food and Wine Festival in Front Royal, then worked at the festival, went home and got cleaned up, and went to the prom that night!â&#x20AC;?

Kiana said.

She was involved in the marketing aspect of the business and learned to cook through her involvement with See DONUTS, 20

New business DONUTS, from 19

the Ramos family. That led to considering sending her application to the same culinary school Tiana will attend, to learn more about the marketing and events planning part of the food industry.

Also, it will keep her close to her great friend Tiana. They hope to coordinate careers to further the business.

“It would be hard to be separated,” said Kiana.

“With me baking, I don’t have time to do both parts,” added Tiana.

They now have 2,500 followers on Facebook and are a bit humbled by how popular their shop has become.

Natalie said they’ve had a lot of great feedback.

“One gentleman came in and tried the Aztec doughnut. He loved it so much, he bought a T-shirt and came back the next day for another one!”

She also had high praise for the two girls.

“It’s amazing to see them coming in early and leaving late. They’re kicking butts! A lot of people wouldn’t be able to handle it and they are,” she said with pride.

Couple faces loss of home over zoning, POA debts After 10 months in jail county woman faces seizure and sale of home

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report

Warren Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path to homelessness 101: Overflow possessions on Julia Souterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property. Courtesy Photos Warren County.

The ongoing legal battle between an Apple Mountain Lake couple who ran afoul of neighbors and in turn the county and court authorities over a tendency to accumulate possessions which spilled into their yard may reach a conclusion in October.

On Monday, June 16, Warren County Circuit Court Judge Dennis L. Hupp set a hearing date of Oct. 27 to hear arguments on a property seizure and sale to satisfy liens resulting from claims of back Property Owners Association and county storage fees.

Before setting the hearing date, Hupp denied a series of motions by defendant Julia Souter, who was representing herself with written assistance of partner Herb Dunkle. Souter asked Hupp, who has twice sent Souter to jail for a total of 10 months for failing to comply with court orders on cleaning up her property, to recuse himself. She also sought a

court-appointed attorney and a jury trial. The judge quickly denied all defense motions.

Despite not allowing Souter to elaborate on her reasons for seeking his recusal, Hupp disputed any valid reason for it in denying that defense motion. He also explained that as a civil case there was no inherent right to appointed counsel or a jury trial as there would be in a criminal case.

As discussion between Apple Mountain Lake Property Owner Association attorney Daniel Pond III and Hupp proceeded to appointment of a special commissioner to hear the evidence on the alleged debt and property disposal to meet that debt, Chip White rose to express his availability. However, Hupp said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the interest of saving this courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time and docket given my experience I think it is better to hear before the court than a special commissioner.â&#x20AC;?

Huppâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rationale was that he could exert â&#x20AC;&#x153;more controlâ&#x20AC;? over the hearing than a commissioner could. It

may be the rambling, multi-faceted nature of the Souter-Dunkle defense that has led to any past friction, and Souterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incarceration for a total of 10 months, between the defense and court.

In a later conversation, Souter and her partner Dunkle asserted that at an earlier hearing Hupp had somewhat abruptly blurted out â&#x20AC;&#x153;sell the propertyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a statement they believe indicates he has already reached a

decision on the seizure and sale of Souterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property for the a debt they dispute the validity of. With Hupp on vacation until July 1, an attempt to get a response to that allegation by the judge was unsuccessful prior to publication.

The involved debts include back POA fees and county liens for storage of items seized out of their yard.

The whole zoning dispute with the county grew out of neighbor complaints about the appearance of the Souter property due to the accumulated items overflowing outside the house and any storage building.

Following the June 16 hearing, Dunkle and Souter explained that they view the case as a civil rights matter involving property rights and what they believe has been a pattern of governmental abuse of their rights and ability to first comply with zoning codes in a timely manner, then resultant court orders.

Dunkle has prepared and filed on Souterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf a series of related appeals and civil rights claims in higher courts, that have thus far been unsuccessful in bringing what they believe is a runaway train of municipal and legal authority working in concert with the neighborhood POA aimed at stripping them, first of their rights, and eventually of Souterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property and the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s home.

With limited financial resources, the couple questions an interpretation of law that allows oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property to be accessed, individual items to be seized and stored with an ongoing cumulative debt resulting, then allows your property and home itself to be seized and sold over that stilldisputed debt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all without legal representation.

From this perspective, it is, indeed, a valid question.

One must ask, is it the intent of our

system of law and government that a mandated legal defense be provided over a (criminal) case that might get you a day, week or month in jail, but allows NO such representation in a (civil) case in which your assets and home can be seized and sold out from

County approves Leachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Run Parkway financing plan

Bond consultants Dan Siegel, left, and Ted Cole keep up with all the local news that fits at the astute financierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and FREE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; source.

By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report On June 17, the Warren County Board of Supervisors approved a 20-year debt service plan to pay the approximate $6 million cost of the first phase of Leachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Run Parkway construction. The vote was 4-0, with Linda Glavis absent.

After comparing financing options presented by the Virginia Resources Authority (VRA) and several pri-

vate-sector banks, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Richmond-based bond consultant Davenport & Associates recommended proceeding with a 20-year bond issue through the VRA. The VRA packages municipal bond projects statewide to receive advantageous loan terms for participating localities.

Primary reasons for the choice of the 20-year, VRA option were a fixed-interest rate currently sitting at 3.39 percent and a willingness to allow the county to utilize the same

property for collateral that has been used in an earlier, ongoing VRA capital improvement bond on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two new high schools. That property is Skyline High School.

Were interest rates to jump up appreciably between the June 17 vote and the VRA bond issue sale on July 29, Davenport would revisit the decision to participate with county officials.

Davenport & Associates representative Ted Cole explained that since the Skyline High property assessed value of $41.3 million exceeds the liability on the previous bond issue on the two high school construction projects, the VRA was willing to simply add the new bond issue value of â&#x20AC;&#x153;up to $7 millionâ&#x20AC;? in principal to the guaranteed collateral it holds on county capital improvement projects.

Of the private-sector options, Davenport reps Cole and Dave Siegel explained that BB&T wanted a separate piece of collateral put up; Sun Trust wanted additional contractual language on future guarantees that made their package less desirable; and Wells Fargo would not fix its interest rates beyond seven years.

Actual costs The county and Town of Front Royal will split costs of the long-awaited north-south connector road between John Marshall Highway and Happy Creek Road on the town-county east-side border. That split will be 66 percent county, 34 percent town.

Numbers presented by Davenport to the supervisors indicate an average annual bond debt service payment of $455,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $300,000 by the county and $155,000 by the town over a 20year bond issue.

Project costs are estimated at $6.35 million, with associated insurance and VRA costs raising that

total to $6,608,689. Interest on the 20-year bond raise the total payoff to $9,319,297.

Cole added that the bond wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually be drawn on until all the ROW acquisitions have been completed.

Payment projections indicated a firstyear payment in 2015 of $121,410 by the county and $62,545 by the town before the above-cited full annual amounts are reached in 2016.

EDA officials forecast bids going out by the end of July, with construction starting in September or October, with an estimated 18-months for completion of the parkway between John Marshall Highway and Happy Creek Road.

Of the final four ROWs being acquired by the town-county Economic Development Authority, which is managing the project for the town and county, two are in hand and two more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with Warren Memorial Hospital and local developer HEPTAD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been agreed upon in principal, county officials said on June 17.

County Administrator Doug Stanley also explained that as much as $5 to $6 million in costs are likely to be

recouped from proffers tied to coming construction projects, including development of the new hospital campus and future HEPTAD development. The recently approved Front Royal Limited Partnership (FRLP) residential (up to 818 units)-commercial development project on 604 acres in the area has already committed about $2.1 million in road proffers specifically to the Leachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Run Parkway project.

The county and town recently approved boundary adjustments that will bring the land holding the still-planned second public middle school, the new Warren Memorial Hospital campus and the FRLP land, all of which will be serviced by the parkway, into the town limits.

Phase Two of the project will extend Leachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Run Parkway past Happy Creek Road to an intersection with Shenandoah Shores Road. That extension is currently planned to contain a five-acre swath of right of way from current Town Councilman Tom Sayreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approximately 40-acre home property.

Congratulations to Ridgeline Designs on their 9th Anniversary!

By Ken Thurman Warren-Frederick County Report

April 15th marked the 9th anniversary of Ridgeline Designs, LLC located on 120 East Main Street in Front Royal. Ridgeline (after the Shenandoah mountain ridges) provides a unique blend of handcrafted jewelry, vintage pieces like necklaces, rings, ear rings and sets, fossils, and local /Americana items.

Gina, a native of Front Royal, began her apprenticeship at the Old Town Silversmith in Winchester and

Goldsmiths, before joining forces with John Sweatt to create Ridgeline Designs. John, who had visited Front Royal on numerous camping trips, discovered a need for a reliable jeweler and had always wanted to start his own business and had a background in public and institutional sales from kitchen products and beyond. An amateur mineralogist with an interest in ceramics and estate jewelry, John had been going to shows and got hooked. The two had met at Goldsmiths and bumped into each other at the Daily Grind.

They shortly thereafter met for lunch where John asked Gina what she was planning to do when her current employer retired. The two formed a partnership that has grown into a vision that led the pair from estate oriented jewelry to custom jewelry. 18 months later they were married.

Today, you can visit Ridgeline Designs and discover a wealth of treasures and create treasures of your own with Gina’s help and guidance (as my wife recently did). Gina and John go to multiple shows in search of just the right gem stones and settings selecting stones and building around them. Gina specializes in the sheet & wire technique used by native Americans with a Danish influ-

ence.

In addition to their own finds and creations, they work with local artisans like Danny Mulvena who does extraordinary landscapes and water colors and the Tipsy Pixie who creates scarves. In addition, they have a wide variety of modern art pieces and a range of fossils. Oh, and they also do repairs.

To find out more about Ridgeline Designs visit them on the web at: www.ridgelinejewelers.com, on facebook at: www.facebook.com/ridgelinedesignsllc, contact them by email at ridgelinedesigns@embarqmail. com , by phone at (540) 635-3355, or visit them at 120 East Main Street in Front Royal. They are open Tues-

day, Wednesday, and Saturday from 10am-5pm, Thursday from 10am6pm, and Friday 10am-7pm. So get your unique on and visit Ridgeline Designs.

Celebrate Rockin Independence Eve July 3 in Old Town Winchester

Old Town Winchester is excited to announce the return of the Edward Jones Rockin’ Independence Eve on Thursday, July 3rd, on the Old Town Walking Mall from 5-11 pm! This patriotic event features an evening full of free quality family-friendly entertainment and fireworks!

Enjoy live music at the Shenandoah University Feltner Parking Lot on the corner of N. Loudoun and E. Boscawen Streets, by Winchester’s own Britani Myers at 5:30 pm. The former state champion Handley High School athletic star has transitioned seamlessly from the track to the stage.

According to Myers herself, the two forums share aspects, “In music, you only have one performance to show people all of the work you put into it, just like with running.” Finishing off the twin bill at 7:30 pm will be two time American Idol Hollywood finalist Christian Lopez Band (CLB), hailing from Martinsburg, West Vir-

ginia. CLB features a folk country rock style that has been described as: “Dave Matthews and Hootie and the Blowfish have dinner at Matchbox 20’s house.” Recently they have won several awards such as the Blue Ridge Music Festival Battle of the Bands.

Rockin Independence Eve will also feature a beer and wine garden, Snow White Grill hamburger eating contest, a cornhole tournament by Tailgate Giant, activities for children of all ages, and no Independence Day celebration would be complete without an outstanding firework show which begins at 9:15 pm. Adding to the atmosphere, on Loudoun Street there will be lots of free entertainment including acoustic performers, balloon art, a caricature artist, magician and more. Come dressed in red, white, and blue for the Show your Stars and Stripes costume contest with a prize of tickets to a future

event. There will be plenty of fun activities and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy! At the conclusion of the fireworks the music will pick back up and CLB will perform till 10:30.

Keep a look out for pre-registration for the cornhole tournament happening on the lawn of the Old Courthouse Civil War Museum. The cost will $10 per team of two.

“We are really excited for families to enjoy this free event downtown,” said Dario Savarese, President of Full Circle Marketing. “Rockin’ Independence Eve features entertainment and activities for everyone in the family from kids to adults and we hope that the Loudoun Street Mall and this event become a part of everyone’s Independence Day traditions if it isn’t already. Make sure to come downtown and take in all that Old Town has to offer.” Adult bever-

com/event/744942. Proceeds from the events will benefit the operation of the Patsy Cline Historic House, which was placed on the Virginia Landmarks Register in 2005, and later that year was added to the National Register of Historic Places. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the Make A Wish Foundation.

The award-winning singer was born and raised in the Winchester area. Her career was cut short when she died at 30 in a plane crash in Tennessee in March 1963. Cline was the first solo female singer to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1960.She is buried in Shenandoah Memorial Park on U.S. 522, south of Winchester.

JudySue Huyett-Kempt, Executive Director of the Patsy Cline Historic House, says the festival is another “first” for Celebrating Patsy Cline, Inc. and the Winchester community.

“It is my hope that this festival will lead to more partnerships so that we can continue, and grow the festival, and that it will not only recognize Patsy, but also inspire others who dream to walk the ladder to stardom.”

United Way Wii Bowling Challenge The United Way of Northern Shenandoah Valley wrapped up the preliminary rounds of the 2014 Wii Corporate Bowling Challenge last night at the LFCC Student Union Building. The first game was a battle of the Westminster Canterbury Residents versus the Westminster Canterbury Staff. The crowd was feisty and eager to begin. The residents asked the staff “Are you ready to give up yet?” before the game even got started. The age range between the two teams was age 7 to age 86, with a 91 year old cheerleader…which goes to prove that we are all young at heart and can still PLAY at any age.

The first game was underway and the Residents were winning by 8 pins.

The Westminster Canterbury Staff was not ready to quit or admit defeat so the second game began. One Resident said after she bowled a strike “That’s 75 years of life experience”.

The teams cheered each other on and chanted at the ball “come on, come on”. At the end of the third round it was the Westminster Canterbury Residents winning by a landslide See BRIEFS, 30

Protect Yourself From Text Message Spam Spam text messages can be annoying, but did you know they are illegal?

Some common scams use text message spam to lure you into revealing personal information in exchange for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;free giftâ&#x20AC;? like a gift card or vacation package.

How it works: In order to collect your gift, the message will instruct you to reply to the text with your personal information such as a bank ac-

count or your social security number.

The spammer may charge your bank account so you can claim your â&#x20AC;&#x153;free giftâ&#x20AC;? that you will probably never receive.

In certain situations, spammers then sell your personal information to outside parties, leaving you vulnerable to identity theft.

Take these step to limit your chances of getting scammed: Register your number on the Do Not Call List.

Delete spam messages.

Never click on links provided in spam messages. Links often carry malware or send you to fake websites.

Briefs BRIEFS, from 31 serves as an intervention resource teacher at Indian Hollow and Gainesboro Elementary Schools.

Evendale Elementary School to Get New Principal Evendale Elementary School will have a new principal for the 2014-15 school year. Principal Sue Ellen Gossard is leaving the position she has held for the past eight years in order to accept a position as an elementary instructional supervisor with Frederick County Public Schools.

Gossard says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve truly enjoyed my tenure as the principal at Evendale Elementary School. Evendale is a special place with outstanding students and a faculty and staff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committed to serving students and their families well. Although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed working as a school-based administrator for many years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to working in my new role as an instructional supervisor because it will provide me with an opportunity to help make a positive impact on more students and teachers.â&#x20AC;?

Gossard began her career with Frederick County Public Schools in August 1991 as a teacher at Senseny Road Elementary School. After teaching third and fourth grades for a total of eight years, she moved to James Wood Middle School where she taught math for a year. In July 2000, Gossard became an elementary school assistant principal in Loudoun County. After serving in that role for two years, she returned to Frederick County Public Schools and was named the principal of Armel Elementary School. After working as the principal at Armel Elementary for nearly two years, Gossard accepted a position as an elementary instructional supervisor and served in that role from April 2004 until June 2005 when she was named the principal of Redbud Run Elementary School. In June 2006, Gossard opened Evendale Elementary School and has continued to serve as principal there for the past eight years.

Schools Superintendent David Sovine says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs. Gossard has been an outstanding principal at Evendale and will prove to be a great asset as she returns to the role of elementary

instructional supervisor. Her extensive experience as a classroom teacher and school-based administrator will serve her well as she works together with other members of our instruction department to assist teachers in implementing best practices in order to enhance and strengthen the instruction provided to students in all of our classrooms.â&#x20AC;?

Frederick County Public Schools will begin the search for the new principal at Evendale Elementary School in the coming days with the intent of having the new principal begin working this summer.

Local agencies join forces to bring grants database to the region Nonprofit organizations now have access to a comprehensive grant and sponsorship database thanks to ten local agencies. The Foundation Directory Online database is updated weekly and provides access to over 120,000 foundations and corporate donors and 3 million grants. The database not only includes grants for organizations, but for individuals searching for funding such as scholarships and fellowships.

Kim Herbstritt, executive director of Literacy Volunteers Winchester

Area, noted ten nonprofit organizations came together to contribute $100 each towards the annual fee to make the database available for all organizations in the area. The database is housed at Handley Library and is accessible to anyone upon request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see organizations coming together to provide such a valuable resource to the nonprofit sector in the area. The database is user-friendly and can generate a list of potential grants based on various search options. The list includes information on funding limitations, how to apply for funding and areas of focusâ&#x20AC;? Herbstritt noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This helps eliminate a lot of wasted time searching and applying for grants that are not aligned with an agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission,â&#x20AC;? she said.

More than a dozen participants recently completed introductory training on use of the database and feedback was extremely positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although the database is only accessible through computers at Handley Library in Winchester, the scope of
