Back to schoolNow to come here and have everything new the architecture is spectacuportunity is spectacular. Our kids will be very pleased and so will our parents.Principal Alan Fox

By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report

We spoke with Warren CountyMiddle School Principal Alan Foxas the seemingly hectic nal weeko preparation or the opening othe 010-11 school year in a newmiddle school location progressedat a locomotives pace.

We eature the move o WCMSrom its West 15th Street loca-tion to Luray Avenue and the or-

mer Warren County High Schoolbuilding or our back to school010 issue (see related interviewwith another WCHS alumni, LCWPresident Max Clatterbuck, or ad-

ditional ino on the transormationo the now 70-year-old buildinginto the new, state-o-art WCMS).Both Fox (class o 84) and Clatter-buck (class o 77) are WCHS alum-ni.

We apologized to Fox or takinghim away rom his obviously ullplate o nal week preparationsand then plowed ahead like thepushy media we sometimes are. So, hows it going, Alan?

Well, we still had to close down

the middle school and when youve been in one school or years youve got a lot o memories(not to mention classroom accou-trements), Fox began o an experi-

ence he was sharing with his sta.In act Foxs ties to the old WCMSrun deep. He began his teachingcareer there in the 1988-89 aca-demic year, moving rom In-SchoolSuspension to English, Math andUS History beore taking on ad-ministrative unctions in 1996,culminating with appointment tohis current position in 003-04.

And while the memories tiedto the old building may be many,

what now surrounds him is mak-ing the transition an exciting stepinto the uture.

Now to come here and have ev-erything new the architectureis spectacular; the opportunity isspectacular. Our kids will be verypleased and so will our parents,Fox hazarded a guess at the initial

reaction o those or whom thiswork was done.

And speaking o seamless, Foxpointed out the way building ren-ovation/construction contractorLCW ( Lantz Construction o Win-chester) had connected the existing

hallways to the new ones as part othe architectural marvel aroundus. As we ventured toward the oldmain entrance down the east wing,Fox pointed to fooring, walls andeven a new enclosed courtyard thatwill serve educational unctions, inaddition to aesthetical ones.

As I said, what youll see is that

the architecture is spectacular tothe point o being award winning.Te Virginia School Board Asso-ciation has dierent awards or ar-chitecture and I think they shouldbe nominated, in particular or this

As we stopped to really take inour surroundings or the rst timesince arriving to seek out our inter-

view, we were truly impressed. Teold artists rendering we eaturedlast year when the contract wasauthorized didnt really prepare usor the scope o this addition to theschools physical ootprint.

When it is ready or public view-ing at the above-cited dates, just goto the old eastside gym entranceand youll be there! And let metell you, Fox is not exaggerating.Even ull o workers, boxes and theteachers belonging to those boxesull o books and classroom ma-terials, this main entranceway is a

jaw dropper.And Fox pointed out that the ar-

chitects ocused on maintaining avisual theme centered on the mag-nicent and amiliar old columnedentrance looming on the hillside

over Luray Avenue.Everything is tied into the ap-

pearance o the old main entranceand columns at the ront o theold building. Tere are pillars atthe new main entrance, the busentrance and the media center in-side the new section. Tey kept tothat one theme and it really ties it

On Aug. 17 the Warren CountyBoard o Supervisors accepted thelow bid on construction o a newcounty public saety building. Te a-cility has been long sought by SheriDaniel McEathron to house his ownincreasingly cramped administra-tive oces now located on JacksonStreet. Te new building with a con-crete base price tag o $10.55 millionwill also house the county emergencyservices administrative oces andpotentially a joint county-town lawenorcement 911 communicationsand dispatch center, though the sher-i remains skeptical about that latterchange in existing dispatch opera-tions (see our Late July edition).I appreciate the decision to moveorward its going to be a greatacility or Warren County, McEa-thron told the supervisors ollowingthe unanimous roll call vote o ap-proval.Te acility will be located acrossSkyline Vista Drive rom SkylineHigh School, caddy cornered be-tween Route 340 South and CriserRoad just northeast o the school.Te project is being unded through acombination o already issued capitalimprovement bond unds, set-asidespecial project reserves, and a por-tion o the so-called twice-a-year tax

While the total amount o availableunds cited above are considerablymore than the base construction bido $10.5 million, County Adminis-trator Doug Stanley explained thatother project costs are anticipatedto reduce the unused amount oavailable unds to less than $300,000($66,850). Any surpluses can simplybe re-directed to other needed proj-ects or payments that the supervisorsapprove.

Happy Birthday to uOur 100th issue marks our years o WC Repor

By Dan McDermottPublisher, WC Report

In twenty our hours we willprint this issue, our one hundredthattempt to tell the truth in FrontRoyal and Warren County.What a strange and wonderul

journey it has been and at timesscary.

From our humble beginnings as awebsite ew read to the newspaperit is today, Warren County Reportdoes indeed represent the dreamI had when I told my good riendCassie Whittington in 004 that Iwas going to start a newspaper.

She said all the right things andshe didnt laugh.

A ew years later she called meup and told me that her dad, localbuilding legend Sonny Whitting-ton said it was his avorite paper. Iremember when you told me youwere going to start a newspaper,she said. I thought, well ... so you

are going to just start a newspaper.Just like that, she recalled. I guess

you did.Tat call meant more to me than

she will ever know.I had been planning dierent

layout designs and chatting withother publishers to get ideas andgure out how to get things rollingor a couple o years when in 006,Roger Bianchini became suddenlyavailable.

I was red, he would clariy.You are always so diplomatic, Dan I got canned philosophical di-erences, he elaborated.

Roger sent me an e-mail askingi I knew o any writing jobs that

might be available. I hired him inmy reply.

Tus began the project that hasgone rom little-known communi-ty tabloid to a newspaper that hasbeen quoted around the world andbeen praised by some o the topwriters at Fox News Channel, TeWashington Post, Politico and TeWashington Examiner. Roger and Ihave appeared on national televi-sion and I even played the dubiousrole o unwitting evil print report-

er in the last episode o Te RealHousewives o Washington, DC. (Imust admit I wasnt watching and

didnt know I was on the show untiltwo colleagues e-mailed me to say Iwas on that night. Ten my phoneblew up as the texts and messagesrolled in.) But thats how it works.Once, our oce landlord om Es-helman told me he had seen me in-terviewed on the local Fox stationin Las Vegas the previous night.Tat was the rst I had heard aboutit.

I had interviewed with the DCstations many times but I remem-ber how scared I was when I did aninterview on Good Morning Amer-ica. Tey taped me or ten minutesand I was shaking or hours ater-

ward, worried I would look like anidiot. Ten it came on and I wasthere or 1 seconds and lookedne all that worry or nothing.

Once I was asked to do a bit orGreta Van Sustern o Fox NewsChannel. I didnt have time andwanted to get Roger to do it. Hehad never done V beore and Imust admit that I orgot to men-tion that it was or a national net-work. Roger was interviewed byGri Jenkins or Fox and I thoughtit was unny that Roger, a sel-de-scribed 60s radical was havingsuch a pleasant interview with FoxNews. Gri later complementedRogers perormance. Again, I was

worried or nothing.But as I look back on our beginningdays, there was cause or concern right away.

Warren County Reports printedition was originally going to bea magazine on newsprint. It wouldbe monthly and cost $.50. Tatwas my plan.

Big mistake! But it was xed threedays later.

We all got together and decidedto change the cover price to 50cents Rogers rst I told youso. Tis was a huge problem sincemany stores had programmed ourbarcode to $.50 and we wouldhave to get with each o them to

reset our paper to the new price.But I had a brilliant idea or that!

I went to Staples and bought somelittle round stickers. I chose yel-low since it would stand out. Andwe literally went to every place andput a little yellow sticker that said50 cents over the old price andbar code.

On the next issue I printed theprice in a yellow circle to be consis-tent. We kept it when we eventu-ally went ree.

So that is the reason there is a bigyellow FREE on the paper. It was allbecause o those little yellow 50-

cent stickers that allowed our curi-ous 000 rst readers to see whatwas going on.

As I write this, I am looking at various covers we have printedover the years. All o the issues areon our website. Each one bringsback memories.

I remember debating catchyheadline ideas or the story o thenSen. George Allens use o the wordmacaca to describe a young man

videotaping one o his speeches. Icame up with Macaca happens.We got beat up a little on that one,but not as bad as it turned out asthe senator himsel did.

Ten the town decided to createa misdemeanor charge or peoplewho dont sort their trash correctly.(We still think that is a stupid idea.)ony Elar, who now owns YellowCab, drew up a hysterical op-edcartoon showing a town trash truckhauling people to jail. I put that onthe cover.

One o the prettiest covers wehad showed a housing develop-ment. Te article was about Del.Clay Atheys bill to oer incentivesto steer home construction to landadjacent to already developed townand city property, instead o chop-ping up all the arm land in Virginiauntil there isnt any let.

We have run a series o cover sto-ries about local wounded war vetBunky Woods, paralyzed by a snip-ers bullet in Iraq. Local buildersunder the auspices o the nationalHomes or Our roops organiza-tion are building him a new homeand we are a sponsor. We are happyand eager to help but it has alwaysperplexed me why private dona-tions are necessary - he should beliving in a palace paid or by thePentagon budget.

In March o 007 I discovered thepower o animal-themed covers. Itstarted when I saw a huge numbero vultures (Cassie would always

yell at me i I said buzzards) cir-

cling the Criser Rd. 7-Eleven. Itook a bunch o pictures and wrotea little article about it and quotedsome acts rom Wikipedia. Te is-sue few o the stands. Roger usedto argue with me about putting an-imals on the cover but ater seeingthe impact it has in reaching thenon-traditional newspaper readerhe doesnt ght me over it anymore my get even I told you so.

Te old library hasbeen transormed into a gleamingmedia center. Above it is a balconywhich looks out on both the mediacenter below and the mountains

Students will be happy to ndout that theres air conditioningeverywhere in the building includ-ing the auditorium which also hasa new/old look. Te layout is thesame, but all old seats and fooringwere taken out and replaced. Te

they passed that work ethic onto my sister and I. My sister wasa couple years older than me andshe made straight As through-out school. I didnt come close tothat but she set the example and I

knew I had to at least make goodgrades, he said.

He also remembered Yates Hall,basketball coach and gym teacher,as being a great support. I hadtremendous respect or him hesaid. Hall was instrumental in get-ting Clattterbuck involved in KeyClub in high school. Lookingback, he said, I appreciate peoplewho pointed me in that direction,it was a great experience, now Imin Kiwanis which also helps peo-

Once I got to high school, hesaid, I was very ortunate to besurrounded by good people whoonce again set the example. RickLeonard, Roy Boyles and MikeSilek were all a year ahead o me inschool. We were all in the Key Clubtogether and played sports. Rick

Ive had trouble sleeping for about 2 years. Id nally get to

sleep, then wake up in the middle of the night and not be able

to go back to sleep. My granddaughter introduced me to the

LifeWave Silent Nights sleep patches. I read the brochure

and wanted to try it. That night before I went to bed, I drank 2

glasses of water, put the patch on behind my ear, and fell right

to sleep. I woke up at 3:30 to cut off my TV, and went right

back to sleep. I woke up the next morning around 8 and felt great! You can use each

patch 2-3 nights. Ive been using them ever since.

Shortly after that, I broke 4 ribs. I knew LifeWave also makes pain patches, and

since I dont like taking prescription drugs, I gured Id try those patches. My grand-

daughter patched me, and within a minute, my pain went from a nine to a three. My

breathing improved as well.

So, if you have any pain or trouble sleeping, I really recommend you give Trish acall. Verna Poe, Front Royal, VA July 2010

Ive had pain in my shoulder nonstop for about 4 years. Ive

tried pain medication, the doctors even recommended

surgery. Recently, my granddaughter told me about the

LifeWave IceWave pain patches and explained everything to

me about them. I decided to try them. She placed the patches

on my shoulder, and within a minute, I felt total relief.

Later that week I was having some pains in my lower back. Trish Wilson applied the

pain patches and, again within a minute, the pain was gone. Its amazing how these

work. No drugs, nothing enters my body, yet the pain is gone.

McClosky suit against DSS, King headed to tRuling sends $600k civil suit orward on wrongul termination count o


On July 15, 6th Judicial CircuitCourt Judge Dennis L. Hupp ruledthat the $600,000 civil suit o JudithMcClosky against both the WarrenCounty Department o Social Ser-vices and its director, Ron King mayproceed but along much narrowerparameters than originally led.

In ruling on deense motions orsummary judgments to dismiss thecase, Hupp said the case may pro-ceed on one aspect o three in Countwo o the original ling. Te casewill proceed solely on McCloskysallegation she was wrongully termi-nated in retaliation or attempting tocarry out her prescribed duties as apart-time welare raud investigator.

Te judge also ruled that Mc-

Closky may sue King individually,as the supervisor who she allegeswrongully terminated her. Te latterruling came despite Hupps acknowl-edgement that the deense was cor-rect in asserting that King was notMcCloskys employer, so cannot besued as such, but rather or allegedactions in his personal role as her su-pervisor.

Te judge also noted that the de-ense ling regarding Count One oMcCloskys original complaint hadbeen rendered moot by the deenseswithdrawal o that aspect o thecase led under the Virginia FraudAgainst axpayers Act. Te plain-ti had led a 54-count justicationo incorporating the Fraud Againstaxpayer Act citing discrimina-tory practices by her employer. Teplainti was asking double amounts

o monetary damages claimed basedon that raud against taxpayers stat-ute. Hupp observed that the deensehad acknowledged a precedent setby the case o Ligon vs. the Countyo Goochland in withdrawing CountOne rom the suit.

Between the deenses own actiono withdrawing the Count One l-ing, and Hupp ruling in the deensesavor on two o three exceptions toVirginias employment at will doc-trine in Count wo, the case hasbeen narrowly ocused on two es-sential claims.

Going to trial

What will be heard at trial is evi-dence surrounding McCloskys claimher April 6, 007 termination wasin retaliation or her attempt to doher job as described by state statute.

Hupp actually gave a split rulingon the deenses request or dismiss-al according to ype 1 exceptions toVirginias employment at will doc-trine. He ruled that McCloskys casedid not qualiy under her claim shewas red because she insisted onreporting instances o welare raudto the Commonwealths Attorney.

However, he ruled that the case didqualiy or such a ype 1 exceptionon the plaintis claim she was hin-dered in her investigations o raudcases, and in cooperating with the

Commonwealths Attorney in theprosecution o such cases. Hupp cit-ed McCloskys claim her terminationwas due in part to Kings disgruntle-ment over her testimony beoreWarren County Grand Juries abouther workplace allegations regardingthose cases.

McClosky, as a raud investiga-

tor, had an obligation to investigateraud cases and to assist the Com-monwealths Attorney in the pros-ecution o those cases, Hupp wrotein his ruling. She would also havehad an obligation to testiy beorethe grand jury i subpoenaed to doso as provided under Virginia Code19.-01 or Virginia Code 19.-08.o the extent that McClosky allegesthat her termination resulted romher carrying out these obligations, Ibelieve she makes out a claim under

this ype 1 exception ment at will doctrine,

ed a ederal precedent nding in a-vor o a retirement home employeewho was discharged rom her em-ployment or reporting decienciesin the care o residents at the acility.Hupp noted that in that case it was

ruled the employee had a statutoryduty to make the critical report.

Tat is not true in our case, Huppwrote.

Rather, McCloskys duties, as citedabove, were to investigate allegations

o raud and to assist the common-wealths attorney i prosecutionswere brought orward as a result oher investigations.

Te duty to report alleged viola-tions to the prosecutor rests upon the

Director, Hupp observed, adding ina parenthesis, Te question remainsas to whether the Director has dis-cretion as to which cases to report.It is arguable he does not. Te judgeadds that discretion appears to restupon the commonwealths attorney.

However the judge concludes thisargument is peripheral to his basicruling on this aspect o ype 1 ex-ceptions because as he previouslystated, McClosky had no statutoryobligation to report the raud allega-

tions, rather the director did.

Rejected issues

In addition to supporting the de-ense motion that King could not besued as McCloskys employer, Hupp

upheld deense motiother counts that urthe scope o the case.

Hupp ruled that ypexceptions surroundicy exceptions to Virg

CoAll Ms. Callahan is guilty o is having a bit o a mouth on her and she is abit o a busybody. deense attorney John Bell

o dial or to shoot, that is the questiCallahan loses appeal o misdemeanor brandishing convicti


It seems to have been a case withno winners, only losers.

On Aug. 3, local property owner,businesswoman and relocated Mas-sachusetts Yankee not quite in KingArthurs Court Patricia Callahan lost

her appeal o our lower court misde-meanor convictions o brandishing arearm at neighbors renting a garagenear her home property at SouthRoyal Avenue. Consequently Calla-han will pay $100 o $500 nes im-posed on each conviction, along withcourt costs.

Calling the incident a behavioralaberration by the deendant, who hadno previous criminal record, JudgeDennis L. Hupp suspended $400on each ne and declined imposingany jail time that had hovered overCallahans head since her lower courtsentencing. Hupp granted Callahansrequest to be given three months topay a total o $873 in nes and courtcosts.

But i the 6-year-old Callahan,who has practiced law in Washing-ton D.C., now has a criminal recordand is a little lighter in the pocket,the people with whom she had anongoing neighborhood dispute lead-ing to the Aug. 1, 009, brandishingincident no longer have the down-town garage where they used to re-pair cars, including one said, a amilyhobby, short-track race car.

According to testimony and outo court conversations with some o

those neighbors, since the August009 incident leading to Callahansmisdemeanor brandishing convic-

tions they have lost that garagerental largely it would appear due toincreased zoning scrutiny by townocials. Callahan long alleged theMoore amilys work on vehiclesat the garage constituted an illegalcommercial garage operation. TeMoores said they worked only onpersonal vehicles o theirs or riends.

Te dispute led to a long, some-times verbally bitter clash with notonly the Moore amily and riendswho gathered to socialize and con-tribute or simply observe the repairwork going on at the garage, but alsotown ocials she believed were atbest ailing to uphold town codes.

I Callahan believed her neighborswere operating an illegal commercialgarage operation in the downtownHistorical District, those neighborsappeared to believe Callahan wascreating her own Hysterical Dis-trict based on personal prejudicesand dislikes o their blue-collar lie-style and physical appearance.

Callahan has contended rom herarrest on Aug. 1, 009, that all shedid was point a cell phone at herneighbors as she had done on many

occasions beore in an attempt todocument what she alleged was anillegal commercial garage operation.However no photos were producedrom that incident, which occurredaround 8 p.m. and dusk because itwas too dark, Callahan said.

No weapon was ever ound by au-thorities on her person or propertythat day and Callahan testied shehad never owned a gun and did nothave one that day. However, a com-bination o actors led Circuit Court

Convicted misdemeanor brandishing defendant Patri-cia Callahan, left, in a previous incarnation as Wash-ington D.C. attorney. In this courtesy photo, Callahanis shown with South Carolina Representative HenryBrown.

Judge Dennis L. Hupp to convictCallahan. Chie among those actorswere similar, though not identicaldescriptions by the our plaintis oa handgun they believed Callahancarried at her side as she walked pastthem to a spot some distance away,where they say she turned and point-ed the object in her hand at themwith two hands, as one would with apistol.

A second actor weighed heavily inthe judges decision, he said. Tat ac-tor was a recorded call to FRPD dis-patch that day in which an obviouslyexcited Callahan threatened to get agun and take matters into her ownhands due to her dissatisaction withthe way the town police had thus ardealt with her complaints.

In explaining his verdict Hupp saidthose alleging the brandishing couldnot have known o Callahans com-ments to FRPD dispatch that day.So why on that same day, would the

complainants decide to suddenlyabricate a weapons story rom a be-havior that Callahan had repeatedlyengaged in with them that o point-ing a cell phone camera at them?

However deense attorney John Bellargued that his clients comments todispatch indicated a plan to get a gunshe did not yet have. He pointed outthat the time rame between that callto FRPD and the incident was onlyabout a hal hour. Could Callahanhave gone out and purchased a pistoland returned within that timerame,Bell asked the court.

However Assistant Common-wealths Attorney Michael Flemingargued that Callahan had, had timeto dispose o a weapon within her

South Royal Avenue property, whichincluded some locked rental ocespaces Callahan claimed she had nokeys to. Tose locked oce spaceswere never searched by police try-ing to locate a weapon that evening,Fleming pointed out.

Fleming also questioned the be-havior o a woman who claimed to bearaid and intimidated by her neigh-bors deciding to walk alone pastthose very neighbors alone at dusk.Callahan testied she believed po-lice would soon be responding to hercomplaint call when she went intothe alley armed, she said, only withher cell phone.

All Ms. Callahan is guilty o is hav-

ing a bit o a mouth on her and sheis a bit o a busybody, Bell told thecourt.

Called as a character witness orthe deense, Js Gourmet-Elements-Apartment G owner David Ged-ney told the court he believed hisneighbor Callahan to be honest and acrusader or causes she embraced as

just.Both sides used the testimony o

witnesses called by the other to bol-ster their arguments.

Bell said that Callahan neighbor andsometime protagonist Linda Lorbersdescription o Callahan passing heron her way out rom Callahans South Royal property to the alleyindicated a fat palm held out withsomething in it, as one would hold acell phone, not a pistol.

Fleming cited the testimony o

then Vice Mayor Bret Hrbek, whoresponded to Callahans call or helpater police arrived to search herproperty based on her neighborscomplaints. Hrbek said when he ar-rived it appeared to him that Calla-han was alone in her house with po-lice personnel at the scene outside.Callahan claimed to have been undercontinued company o authorities a-ter their arrival.

In the end, the coincidence oCallahans phone threat to FRPD dis-patch to get a weapon and take thingsinto her own hands on the very dayher neighbors claim she carried a

handgun past them anit at them rom somethe day with the court

At the outset o thisplained to us by FRPDFurr that by state codcused o brandishing ally have to have a whand, only have somsembles a weapon enthe ear o a weaponmaking the complaint

Contacted later Cahad yet to make a decsible appeal.

Matt and Joe saw a needand lled it. When Blockbust-er and Video World abandonedtheir customers in the videorental market in Front Royal, theGochenour brothers, Matt, 19and Joe, 1, decided to step upand open Shenandoah Video in

the ormer Blockbuster space inthe Royal Plaza Shopping Center.

We thought it was a great op-portunity with the other twostores going out o business, andbusiness has been very good.Since we opened, 1300 patronshave joined and the numbergrows about 0-30 every day,they said in the rst weeks o op-eration.

Tey thought there was a voidor those people who werent sat-ised with the selection at the red vending boxes or didnt like towait or movies to be sent in themail rom the other major online

video providers.Matt said, We have thousands

o movies compared to the hun-dreds at Redbox. We carry clas-sics you oten cant nd elsewhereand have new movies that Netfixand Redbox cant carry or therst 8 days rom major studiosthat are exclusively sent to VideoRental Stores. We also have vid-eo games and Blu-ray and they

dont.Proud o their people who can

provide instant customer service,they listed a ew advantages tohaving a xed location.

I theres a problem, it can betaken care o immediately by oursta and people can come in andlook at the movies, browse, walkaround, see what we have. We canspecial order which takes abouta week and special orders comein with the new movies everyweek. Since its a small businesswith a low overhead, we can o-er special rates with lower pricesor multiple rentals and multiple

nights rented. We also have whatthe majority o customers arelooking or, they said.

And, I theres snow on theground and no one else can comein, well nd a way to get here,the dedicated co-owners said.

Te brothers come by their en-trepreneurial spirit honestly. Joeand Matts ather, Garlan, hasbeen in the video and tanningbusiness or 5 years and theyvebeen active participants sincethey were eight years old, so theyhave a eel or what is involved inrunning the business and are de-

initely hooked. A tanning salonwill share the space in a couple omonths, they said.

Joe is a junior at James Madi-son University, majoring in busi-ness and working on a degree inmanagement while co-managingthe businesses. He says that theyget a lot more out o hard work bywatching a business grow romscratch and seeing the results.

Matt works ull-time in thestores. Te brothers are also co-owners o Radio Shacks in bothStrasburg and Woodstock. Joemanages Woodstock and Mattoversees the Strasburg store.

Weve learned how our atherhas done it and taken bits andpieces and incorporated theminto our own. Our pricing is thesame as his and weve decided todo pretty much the same way hedid since his methods work, saysMatt.

According to Matt, customerssay their prices are lower thanBlockbusters were.

I got a laugh when people werehere trying to pay or member-ship, but all you need is to be 18or older and have a photo ID tobe a member, he said.

Teir customer service extendsto being open 364 days a year,

closing only on Chhours will change oing and New Years still be open, said Jo

Identical twins Michelle Phillipsand Melissa Ramsey had enougho traveling distances or great bar-gains at consignment stores.

We both love to shop at con-signment stores and had to go toWinchester. We thought this areaneeded one, they said.

Gently used, but new to you isthe slogan o the newest shop inthe Royal Plaza shopping center,their consignment store which isaptly named New You.

Te store was Melissas brain-

child, another motivating actorbeing her sisters recent layo romher job o seven years. And eventhough she has a ull-time job asdental hygienist, she was willing topartner with Michelle to share inthe new venture.

Te night she lost her job, wetraveled to Frederick, Md. to talkto a consignment store owner whohad been in business or 6 yearsand whose or sale ad we saw onCraigslist, Melissa said.

Ater asking her a lot o ques-tions and negotiating, within aew weeks they bought her entireinventory, including shelving, new

toys and clothing. On March 0,

they moved into the store with thehelp o their spouses and other am-ily. Te twins worked ull tilt anddidnt sleep or 36 hours straight.Tey opened on April third o this

year.And the shop has been suc-

cessul. Customers walking intothe store are greeted with a light,clean-smelling space, new toys, ed-ucational and arts and crat mate-rials or sale on the right and in thewindow on the let, a lacy weddingdress.

So ar, said Michelle, We likebeing in business or ourselves andhave been very busy. Its a lot owork, but very enjoyable because

o the people you meet. Regularshoppers come in all the time tocheck whats new, and especially tosee i new wedding dresses are in.Weve sold eight wedding dressesin the last 6 weeks.

But some shoppers are only in-terested in new stu, so we carryMelissa and Doug (childrens artsupplies), new toys and puzzles,she said.

Occasionally the sisters oer spe-cial sales, including tagged itemsor a dollar, or 0 percent o newtoys. For example, in August, therewill be a buy-one, get-one-ree saleon Jack and Lilly baby and toddlersot-sole shoes, they said.

Tey say they buy higher endclothing so customers get a bet-ter deal than at a retail store, butdont carry designer clothes ex-

clusively. All prices are less than

retail and theres an assortment ormen, women and children, whichincludes maternity clothes andshoes. Tey also buy and sell urni-ture including baby and childrensitems.

Hand-crated jewelry and soapare set up on the counter and,Wedlike to attract more craters to sellhere, especially around Christmas,they said.

Michelle and Melissa have no-ticed every day that people whohadnt heard about the store andwere shopping elsewhere havebeen attracted back to Royal Plazaalong with out-o-towners lookingor bargains.

Customers come in to shop andcan use the money they save orChristmas or vacations, becausethey save by shopping here. Wealso donate clothes to local chari-

ties. Its an opport

Rescued dog-cat team fourishing in Darr househ

By Malcolm Barr, Sr.Warren County Report

It didnt take the 010 mayoralelection to rst rocket im andammy Darr into the headlines othe Warren County Report.

Tey publicly distinguished them-selves a year earlier by adopting Otisand Milo, the odd couple o rescuedanimals at the Julia Wagner animalshelter, whose terrible plight hadbeen reported in these pages in July

009.It was just last month that Otis, a

dog, and Milo, a cat, completed theirrst year with the Darr amily thatalready included Simon, a dog, andSnowball, a cat.

Otis, a black poodle, was the vic-tim o one o the worst cruelty andabandonment cases o 009 at theanimal shelter. Milo was his sel-ap-pointed care-giver and companion.Teir rescue by the Warren CountySheris Department animal control

and subsequent lie-saving treat-ment by shelter volunteer veterinar-ian, Dr. Kent Smith, caught the eyeso the Darrs, who immediately wentto the shelter o o Happy CreekRoad to see how they could help.

It was a month-long wait whileOtis, always with Milo at his side,recovered rom the surgical repair owhat could have been a stab wound.Ater the injury, the dog was aban-doned by its owners at a rental prop-erty and was literally, when ound,bleeding to death. For whatever rea-son, Milo stood guard and comortedhis doggie pal beore animal controlound them. Tey were ultimatelyadopted as a pair to the Darrs.

oday, ammy, a bookkeeper orthe LeHew Well Drilling companyin Front Royal, tells o how she, and

sometimes her husband, visitedthe shelter almost daily while Otis

recovered rom his awul wound.Even then, her decision was not toormally adopt Otis and Milo whenshe took them to her home. She hadto be careul that they would be ac-cepted by the already domiciledSchnauzer Simon, an older dog, and
