Angles DUI charge amended to reckless drivrial date o Nov. 8 set or 42-year-old championship wrestlerBy Roger BianchiniWarren County Report

During an Oct. 4 hearing to set atrial date in the DUI case o champi-onship wrestler Kurt Angle, AssistantWarren County CommonwealthsAttorney Michael Fleming told thecourt the original charge was beingamended to Reckless Driving.

As noted in a press release ex-plaining the decision to prosecutethe amended charge, both chargesare Class One misdemeanors carry-ing the same potential sentence andne o up to 1 months in jail and notmore than $,500.

A trial date on the amended charge

o reckless driving was set or PM onuesday, Nov. 8. Angle is representedby odd Gilbert, a ormer assistantprosecutor in the Warren CountyCommonwealths Attorneys Ofceand current 15th District Housedelegate to the Virginia General As-sembly, who now practices law withthe Front Royal rm o Pond, Athey,Athey & Pond.

Based upon our review, the Com-monwealth eels that a RecklessDriving charge is strongly supportedby the evidence and we have electedto prosecute that charge in lieu o thecharge o Driv ing While Intoxicated,the press release stated.

Prosecution o the original chargewas hampered by the lack o an ad-missible breath test showing the 4-

year-old Angle was over the legallimit o .08 blood alcohol content(BAC). While Angle blew a .091 ina eld breathalyzer test, those testsare not admissible in court due toinaccuracy issues o as much as .05.Angles result in a legally-admissiblebreathalyzer test administered laterat Front Royal Police headquarterswas .06, which is two-tenths underthe legal limit or BAC.

Angle, a past U.S. Olympic wres-tling champion (1996) and holdero multiple proessional wrestlingchampionship belts over a 14-year

career in the WWE, WWF and NA,was arrested ater being pulled overdriving eastbound near the Lindenexit in Warren County on Sept. 4 ol-lowing an appearance at the Shenan-doah County Fair.

Virginia State Police rooper C. R.Scally was alerted to be on the look-out or a white Ford aurus drivingerratically eastbound. Dispatch notedthat another motorist had called in areport on the vehicle while ollowingit on I-66 through Warren County.Te trooper identied the suspect

vehicle and pulled it just east o Exit13 ater ollowing it or about a halmile and ascertaining that it was be-

ing driven erratically, according tothe warrant.

Angle produced a Pennsylva-nia drivers license and admitted todrinking three beers. Te trooperwrote in his report that Angle per-ormed miserably in a series o eldsobriety tests involving eye move-ment, alphabet, number countingand balance.

Ater taking the series o eld testsAngle consented to a PB (Prelimi-nary Blood est) that, while not ad-missible in court, can add to the basisor arrest and urther legal and court-

admissible testing.rooper Scally wrote that ater a

prescribed 0-minute wait to assurethe absence o residual alcohol in themouth impacting the BAC reading,our breathalyzer tests were admin-istered beginning at 1:10 AM withonly the .06 reading being achieved.

Despite the lack o a valid andadmissible breath test, based on hisobservations o the other adminis-tered eld sobriety tests, the trooperbooked Angle or DUI at 1:59 AMSunday morning, Sept. 4.

By Roger BianchiniWarren County Report

A man reported by acquaintances to have won a $5-million lotteryabout 18 years ago was killed in a 4-wheeler accident near or on his PocaBella neighborhood property on Sept. 30.

One riend described Dubin as the guy on the 4 wheeler at the end othe river where you come back to land when tubing rom Gooney Creek.Hed be on the other side o the river talking your head o a very per-sonable guy. Everyone at the canoe company knew him and his dogs.

Editor,

From one humble board memberto our caring Warren County com-

munity, the sta and the many volun-teers o St Luke Community Clinic,Id like to extend a super thank youor a very successul benet this pastSeptember 4th.

Outstandingdonations, rom the antique VWBeetle donated by our new direc-tor, Dr. Glenn Burdick and his wie,to the date night basket with cou-pons rom over 50 area restaurantsand put together by undraising chairand ofce manager, Cheri Merchantcompeted or attention with art,sculpture, historic memorabilia, and

a myriad o other items all o whichhad been meticulously organized andcatalogued by volunteer coordinator,Cher Kennedy.

Chairman o the Executive Board,Dr. Tomas Rhyne, one o the ound-ers himsel, recognized the contribu-tions o those rst caregivers includ-ing Dr. Furadoon Irani and Dr. JackLandis, who began the clinic in thebasement o a small church and nur-tured it to become the provider it istoday.

During the video presentation,one could almost hear the despera-tion and need in those silent voiceso hope and gratitude rom clinic pa-tients whose written words scrolledacross the screen. Te importance oeveryones ticket was noted as each$50 contribution will translate into$300 o medications and services.

Te plentiul catered buet dishesrom the Apple House and the vol-unteer contributions on the desserttable were presented decorativelyamong the more than thirty owerarrangements donated by ve o theareas garden clubs. Te ShenandoahValley Chorus o Sweet Adelines In-

the end, sharing an early all eveningwith riends and neighbors or such aworthy cause beneted all who werethere.

Whos air?

Editor,

On Monday, September 19thBarack Obama gave a speech de-manding that the rich pay theirair share o the tax burden. Tisterm air share is a really vaguephrase that politicians have beenthrowing around or a while now.Now despite my belie that (A) ALLtaxation is thet, and the act that(B) the top 10% percent o all wageearners already pay 70% o the taxburden, I have to ask: Can someoneplease tell me what exactly consti-tutes a air share and give me theormula they used to come up withsuch a number? Fuhrer Obama andhis let-wing comrades will claimthat the air share or the rich is60%, 70%, 80%, etc. o their gross in-comes. O course these numbers arearbitrary and meaningless. o comeup with a air share o the tax bur-den or anyone - not just the rich

- would require endless calculationso how much each individual usedpublic goods and services in rela-tion to how much everyone else usedthose same goods and services. Tis,obviously, would be impossible. Butor Obama to claim that a particularindividual owes the governmentmore money than his neighbor by

virtue o his higher paying job is un-reasonable and preposterous.

Since Obama is so concerned

about the need or airness thenlets talk about airness, shall we?

Is it air that, due to this govern-ments reckless spending and debtaccumulation, my 1 year old daugh-ter and 7 month old son are already

indebted to the tune o approximate-ly $48,000 each, which their share othe current national debt? Is it airthat Americans are orced to pay intoa Social Security program insteado being able to use that money tonance their retirements on theirown (not to mention the act thatSocial Security will be bankrupt bythe time I retire anyway)? Is it airthat the good people o this countrylive in constant ear o the threat oterrorist attacks due to this govern-ments interventionist oreign policyand countless overseas military oc-cupations (a condition the C.I.A. hascalled blowback)? Tese questionsrepresent the type o debates that weshould be having about airness, not

this rivolous squabbling over somectitious number regarding a airshare o the tax burden.

(Managing Editors note: - my brie-est in response to a letter rom thisreader, I promise - In our recent de-bate on these pages Mr. Hartsell hasestablished that his perspective isthat not only is the existence o the

ederal government bad and unneces-sary, but also that any governmentalregulation o big business or interer-ence with the accumulation o vastwealth plunders the rich and de-

stroys America, despite any evidence

to the contrary.)

Te Northern Virginia Daily, anewspaper based in ShenandoahCounty, announced on its websiteOct. 7 that its owners intended tooer it or sale.

Employees were called to a spe-cial meeting by Editor John Horanprior to the public announcementand inormed o the decision, ac-cording to the newspaper. Horansaid a rm in Gaithersburg, MDwould assist in locating a buyer.Tat rm may be W. B. Grimesand Company, a major broker onewspapers and radio and televi-sion stations, although the Daily

is not currently listed among itsproperties or sale.

Although parties involved are

understandably tight-lipped, onepotential regional buyer might be

Wheeling, West Va.-based Og-den Newspapers, publisher oTe Journal in Martinsburg and39 other newspapers and severalmagazines and other publications.

A purchase by Winchester-based Byrd Newspapers wouldappear unlikely since the conser-

vative Byrds and the liberal Dailyownership dont exactly get along.

Te Daily is owned by Pat andDee Keister, age 79 and 84. Teiramily entered the business March6, 191 when E. E. Keister pur-chased the weekly Strasburg Newsor $6,000, according to a historypublished to commemorate the

Dailys 75th anniversary.Most paid dailies across the

country have suered in recent

years due to what seems like anever-ending recession, but also

because the internet has made somuch news available or ree.

Te Daily puts most o its con-tent online or ree, a decision alsomade by many other papers. Teproblem with that is while a pa-pers website may be quite popu-lar, the revenue generated romwebsites, despite the low cost toprovide, pales in comparison tothat rom print. Te major actoris that most visitors to a websitewill scan the stories and read oneor a ew and then move on to an-

other site. With a print product inyour hand, most readers will scan

every page o the paper and be ex-posed to every ad.

No price or the paper has beenannounced but in addition to theirreal estate, the company owns aGoss Urbanite web oset printingpress which is likely worth about$-5 million as it sits.

According to the Audit Bureauo Circulations, the Daily s averagecirculation was 13,318 (primarilyin Shenandoah County) or the sixmonths ending March 31, 011.

By Sandy SchwalbSpecial to WC Report

My ather was a disabled WWIIveteran and my brother served dur-ing the Vietnam conict. My hus-band was in the Army during Viet-nam and spent 0-plus years in theNavy. I never joined the military,but I have been in a battle. Mine wasghting breast cancer, which was di-agnosed in May 004. And so ar well, I am still here.

I received my cancer diagnosis atwork, May 7, 004. Te radiologistcalled with my biopsy result. I dont

remember anything past malignantcells But once the crying stoppedand the poor, poor pitiul me routinegrew stale, my husband Steve helpedme begin to see my lie not as a vic-tim, but a survivor.

More and more we hear o menbeing diagnosed with breast can-cer. However, the American CancerSociety reports that women are still

100 times more likely than men tobe diagnosed with the disease. It is ahigh prole womans disease, whichis quite evident through the market-ing o pink ribbons, shirts, tote bags,and baseball caps to name just a ewitems. In act, major league baseball(my sport o choice) has breast can-cer awareness activities at all ball-parks on Mothers Day.

In the 1st century, there are newand better treatment options, usingstate-o-the-art technologies, whichlead to ewer cancer recurrences.Earlier diagnosis o the disease, duein part to better and more widelyavailable screening, is important.Te percentage o people in the en-tire population o the U.S. who die oany type o cancer has been decreas-ing since the early 1990s. Te Na-tional Cancer Institute (NCI) reportsthat currently nearly 65 percent oadults diagnosed with cancer in thedeveloped world are expected to liveat least ve years ater the cancer isdiscovered.

Tere are ears and related is-sues that come with being a cancersurvivor. An NCI survey ound thatpatients reported they had much in-ormation and support during theirillness. Once treatment stopped,however, they entered a whole newworld one lled with questions,such as: Will the cancer come back?Te ear o recurrence can be strongand sometimes overwhelming.

Secretary Marsh spoke about therole o places and events in givingpeople a sense o their history.

Tis building is an importantsymbol o our values and our senseo justice, Marsh said o the WarrenCounty Courthouse, and in act anycourthouse.

He then quoted two importantmessages gracing the entrance to aederal courthouse just 70 miles toour east.

On one side it says What is pastis prologue. On the other it statesLearn rom the past. Tese are les-sons not only or Warren County butor our nation, Marsh said.

Marsh pointed to the experienceo two divisions, the First Maryland,Maryland and the First Maryland,Virginia during the Battle o FrontRoyal. Tat encounter was the onlyone in U.S. history in which two divi-sions rom the same state ought eachother bringing riend against riend;brother against brother; and atheragainst son. It was an illustrationo how deep the eelings about theUnion were on both sides It is asad thing too when you have thosedecisions to make, Marsh said.

Marsh also described how laterthose two units, designated the Blueand Gray units o the 9th Division,would ght together under the ed-eral banner during both World War Iand World War II. So that is parto a heritage that goes back over 100

years.Perhaps ironically, Marsh pointed

out that division is now posted in A-ghanistan, in what is now the longest

war in U.S. history.Leading up to the 11:30 AM cer-

emony, the Courthouse was open tothe public or tours rom 10 AM to11:30 AM. o accommodate thosetours the actual ront door o thecourthouse acing East Main Streetwas open to the public, an event weconsidered o some historical importin its own right. Over the last two

years the only usable entrance to thecourthouse has been the ormer sideentrance on South Royal Avenue.Te entrance changes and closurewas part o a move to increased elec-tronic scrutiny o all persons enter-ing the courthouse an unhappysign o increased concerns over se-curity, violence and terrorism in themodern world.

Community & artI like Aghans very much. You just cant help it. Teyre that nice. I still stay in comwith many I we could bring village elders here or two week visits we could achange in Aghanistan. photographer and USAID worker Jay Buckner

Buckners Aghan photo exhibit at Samuels LibA basic humanity that transcends the superfcial in day-to-day lie


A photo exhibit on display atSamuels Public Library throughoutOctober led us to a conversationwith the photographer, Jay Bucknero Warren County.

Te photos depict the people anddaily lie o Aghanistan, a nation inwhich America is now engaged inthe longest war in our national his-tory 10 years and counting. Andwhile we are told, as we oten arewith the other major war the U.S.has been engaged in over the pastdecade, Iraq, that we are not at war

with the people o that nation, it isthose people who ultimately suerthe most.

We were immediately struckby a spirit and essential humanityo the Aghan people reected inBuckners photographs. How did hecome to take these photos and whatis his goal as an artist in exhibitingthem, we asked.

Te images were captured in

Kabul and in and around Herat,which is in the northwest corner oAghanistan between Iran and whatwas ormerly Russia, urkmeni-stan. I was in-country rom Augustthrough November 007 to man-age an agriculture air sponsored byUSAID. My unction as director wasto make sure it happened.

And it did Buckner told us0,000 Aghans showed up or the

air.It happened I had a camera with

me at all times and just shot awaywhenever something or someoneinteresting caught my eye. Andeverything I saw interested me. Itwas like stepping onto the pages oNational Geographic. It was asci-nating. I tried to capture it all. Mypurpose or the exhibit is to showAmerica that people are the sameeverywhere in the world; customs

and clothes dier, yet we share simi-lar hopes and desires. Dress anyonein the images in western attire andyoud never know the dierence.

And then the photographer saidsomething to make his point thatstruck us as one o the undamen-tal truths at the root o much o, inot all art Were all Aghans, andwere all Americans.

And there is basic truth at the root

o not only great art, bciety itsel in the age oand the worldwide web people are psame essential hopes matter where they livwear; or we might adracial and cultural di

It is a truth we risown, but the uturshould we orget it.

Buckner did point to one culturaldierence that plays into his exhibit,a cultural taboo on photography othe Aghan women denitely a di-erence rom Western cultures that

use the emale orm and ace as amarketing tool or almost any man-ner o product.

campaign and the ramicationso his Party hop beyond his initialstatements.

As reported in our last issue,the week ater gaining the Demo-cratic nomination Holloway said,Im not a hardcore Party guyand Im tired o politicians put-ting the Party rst. One questionHolloway has since declined toanswer is why, considering thosestatements, he didnt run as anIndependent.

In July Holloway abruptly andunexpectedly resigned rom the

Republican Committee he joinedshortly ater his election to theFront Royal own Council inMay 008. Tat Republican resig-nation o July 7 was ollowed byhis sudden ling or the Demo-crats North River nomination onAug. 3. Tree days later Hollowayrolled into an Aug. 6 Democraticcaucus with 30 supporters andgarnered the committee nomi-nation by a 31-15 margin overincumbent Glenn White. All re-quired legally in Virginia to par-ticipate in a political Party nomi-

nating process is a signature on astatement stating you are, in act,allied with that Party.

According to long-time localDemocrats, Holloway, like hiscaucus support base, had nev-

er previously been sighted at aDemocratic Committee meetingor unction.

Do you know everyone inWarren County who is a Demo-crat? Holloway said in deenseo himsel and his supporters ap-pearance and votes in the Aug.6 Democratic caucus. Hollowayound himsel on the ring lineat his rst and only appearanceat a WC Democratic Committeemeeting on Aug. 9. At the pointo that hostile re was now in-dependent candidate ory Fail-mezger and his wie Patricia.

While Holloway pointed outthat Failmezger, like himsel, isnot a county Democratic Com-mittee member, the Failmezgersdid host a summer DemocraticCommittee cookout at their

North River home. Failmezgeris also Democratic incumbentWhites appointee to the NorthRiver seat on the Warren Coun-ty Planning Commission andWhite has been prominent atFailmezger campaign booths inrecent weeks.

In addition to independentcandidate Failmezger, Hollowayis acing the challenge o Repub-lican Committee nominee DanMurray. Murray, an Interbakemaintenance supervisor who re-located with the company hereabout ve years ago, was drat-

Seal addresses challenge, goals or sheris of


We asked Robbie Seal, a 4-yearveteran o the Front Royal Police De-partment about his challenge o Dan-ny McEathron or Warren CountySheri in the upcoming election. Forstarters, Seal told us he is 50 yearsold, divorced with two adult children,Shawn, 5, and Kristina, 1.

First, we posed these questions toSeal about his independent challengeo the incumbent:

Question Why did you decide tomake a run or sheri at this point in

time?Answer Te decision to run at

this point in time was actually made1 years ago when I was in the mid-dle o my law enorcement career. Ihave always been a person who hasset goals personally, as well as chal-lenged others to do so that I havementored and taught. I know in or-der to be an eective leader, one hasto invest time and gain knowledgein their work. During my 6 years asa public servant, I have learned thechallenges a community aces, themistakes that have been made, theareas where we need to invest ourlaw enorcement services more e-

ciently and most importantly, whatcitizens really want rom their peace

ofcers My decision to run or Sheri oWarren County this year was toughbut at the same time an easy one.While working virtually my wholelie in Front Royal, rst as an 18-year-old Avtex employee, I spent an equalamount o years living in Luray be-ore moving to Front Royal in 004.I invested mysel both into by homeand working communities, particu-larly as a role model in coaching

youth sporting programs and men-toring troubled youth. As a result, Iwas humbled by the act that I hadtwo counties whose citizens were en-

couraging me to make the decisionto seek the sheris ofce in their re-

spective county.Again, my decision came easy mainly as a result that I want tocontinue my work in the commu-nity where I have always worked andcoupled with the act that there area number o issues that I believe aredetrimental in why law enorcementis not providing the quality o servicethe community needs.

Q - What undamental dierencesdo you see between how you wouldmanage the Sheris Ofce and howit is managed now?

Sheriffs raceTere have been many changes over the past eight years in keeping up with the technological advacapital improvement projects. However, the thing that wont ever be dierent is my commitment to ouprovide the highest level o proessionalism - Sheri McEathron

when it comes to technology andorensics will allow the deputies,investigators and communicationsofcers to perorm their job in anofce or room that is designedspecically or that purpose.

I serve as chairman o the Rap-pahannock Shenandoah WarrenRegional Jail Building Commit-tee. Tis project will begin con-struction in June 01 and will becompleted in June 014. Te new

jail is a necessity because uture

expansion o the court acility willconsume our current acility. Tetransition will be smooth and wellplanned out with the assistance oall three jurisdictions and Depart-ment o Corrections. With this

change I will no longer directlyoversee a jail. A superintendentwill be hired and the Jail Authority,which I am a part o, will provideoversight or all three counties.

Q Also, there has been some

public grousing about locatingthe Public Saety Building next toa high school do you view thelocation as the best or best avail-able? And why do you think therewas some public uneasiness about

the proximity o law enorcementheadquarters next to a public highschool?

A In response to the locationo the WCPSB I am very pleasedwith the location or several rea-sons. First, being so close andin act overseeing the saety oour children and those that edu-cate them is a very good thing. Iwouldnt have it any other way.Secondly, I know people were alittle uneasy at rst mostly be-cause they may have been underthe impression we would have in-mates there, which wont happen.In talking about this or so long,

now the input I receive rom thepublic is supportive o the loca-tion. Lastly, the location on Sky-

line Vista Drive is geographicallythe center o Warren County andcentrally located to the citizens weserve.

Q What are your major pri-

orities in both the short and long-term or the WCSO?

A My major priority will al-ways be our service to this com-munity. Over the next our yearsthe WCPSB and RSW RegionalJail will be completed. Tis willconclude 10 years o planning,construction and implementationo those major projects. As ar aslong term, I plan on being sherior a long time so continuing tohave over communitys trust andsupport is what I work or every-day.

Q What do you eel could be

improved with the department, ianything, and how do you plan togo about achieving that?

A We evolve epending on what theneeds are to carry ouTe Warren Countyce is a very progreswe are very proactive

jurisdictions are parasuccess.

Q Are there achallenges rom hapendent town law department that is tadministratively rodepartment? I so, work to coordinatlaw enorcement wit

lice ofcer cannot perorm rou-tine law enorcement outside hisdepartments lawul boundarieswithout the sheri giving themauthority as a deputy. I dont ore-see that happening because the

two are managed dierently and itwouldnt be air to the taxpayers othe town that expect their ofcersto work or them within the corpo-rate boundaries o the town. Nowi your question was consolidation

that is a dierent issue altogether.

Q What are the biggest chal-lenges or a sheri in a semi-ruralcounty, with a number o some-what remote and hard to access

communities, like Warren?A Te only challenges we ex-

perience with any remote areais inclement weather. Howeverover the years I have been ableto obtain more our-wheel drive

vehicles that help us reach thoseareas. Te best part about WarrenCounty is its size so I can get romone end to other with no problem.We have no problem patrolling re-mote areas throughout a normalshit.

Q Class War has been an is-sue in the Republican nominatingprocess or the 01 presidential

campaign. Slowly but surely inthe national media there has beenincreasing attention on the WallStreet protests in NYC against themajor banking establishments,

lending institutions and invest-ment rms or their roles in theongoing economic downturn andoreclosure crisis. Tat open-ended protest appears to be gain-ing some momentum across the

country, mostly in major cities atthis point. Were those protests tomake their way into this commu-nity, what do you see as law en-orcements role in policing a citi-zen redress o grievances againstbanks and other institutions at thecenter o the oreclosure and na-tional economic crisis in otherwords, what is law enorcementsrole in policing demonstrationsthat could be viewed as a manies-tation o a U.S. class war betweenbillionaire and millionaire bankersand Wall St. investment rms andthe American middle class andworking poor?

County balks at some details o unding chanAccounting details, management control o tourism at issue


Discussion during an Oct. 4 War-ren County Board o Supervisorswork session indicated there was acertain amount o coolness amongcounty supervisors over some pa-rameters o a change in town-countyrevenue-sharing proposed by theown o Front Royal.

Tat coolness was generated orsome by both a lack o supporting de-tail in unding numbers or tourismmarketing and a lack o credit towardxing 5 corridor unding issues bythe assumption o other budgets,particularly the public library.

Included in the proposed undingadjustment would be all the towns li-brary unding, an estimated $95,000;all tourism marketing, estimated at$48,500; and hal unding o $4,500or operation o the town trolley.Te county has proposed a two-year,phased-in assumption o the libraryand tourism marketing, hal in the

rst scal year o 013 and ull theollowing year.

At the work session outset, BoardChairman Archie Fox posed thelargely rhetorical question that theassumption o either all or part oSamuels Public Library, tourism mar-keting and the town trolley undingwas about compensating the townor an estimated $600,000 o lostmeals tax corridor ee revenue butthey dont want to give us credit orthis? Fox added, somewhat bewil-dered the new unding responsibili-ties would not be applied to cover thelost PILO (payment in lieu o taxes)meals-tax ee revenues.

It seems like we give, give, give

what is it; all they have is roads andthe police department? ShenandoahDistrict Supervisor Richard raczykasked o town unding responsibili-ties remaining in the wake o ongoingcounty assumption o departmentalor public service obligations.

Te library is no problem. I thinkwe can move orward on that one

but I have some concerns withthe others, Happy Creek Supervisorony Carter commented.

I dont support this at all, raczyksaid o county assumption o tourismmarketing unding while the townwould continue to control tourismdecision making. We need a break-down o where the money goes andnot just accept these numbers.

Im a little more lukewarm on thisone I think we need some input [onhow the money is spent] and not justgive the town carte blanche, Carter

added.Responding to a question, Front

Royal-Warren County EconomicDevelopment Authority ExecutiveDirector Jennier McDonald saidthe EDA had once, as recently as thetown manager tenure o Rick An-zolut earlier this decade, controlledtourism marketing or the town andcounty. It was not clear whether thecounty board thought this might be agood situation to return to.

tional vehicles and exinto the north corcounty shopping centtrial employers was dpointed out the town to the corridor shoppweekends, primarily dents.

Supplementing the towns watersupply could become a priority o thecounty in its desire to see additionalcentral water-sewer extensions toacilitate uture commercial and resi-dential growth in the 5 North Cor-ridor. Several councilmen have statedthe town must be sure it can satisyits own uture water needs beoreagreeing to additional service in thecounty. Among in-town uture needswill be development o the 160-acreRoyal Phoenix Business Park at theAvtex Superund site and a numbero Urban Development Areas des-ignated to accommodate state re-
