lawmakers have anything to say about it.A movement to outlaw man-made sub-stances similar to marijuana is gainingground or the next session o the GeneralAssembly.

I almost guarantee youll see legislationdealing with this, said Del. Chris Peace,R- Mechanicsville.

Tese products, which are sold as in-cense, can be bought at many tobacco orherb shops and even over the Internet.

We have been in some businessesaround town and we bought some packs just to see what it was about and how itwas packaged and everything. [Te nar-cotics unit] has not run across anybodywho has used it yetor admitted to us thattheyve used it, said Lynchburg Police Lt.Marty Soyars.Tey are oten sold in three gram pack-

ages with disclaimers like K2 Incense isstrictly or incense purposes only and isnot or human consumption. You must be18 years o age to purchase this product.A three gram package runs around $30.

Soyars says that price is comparable tothe Lynchburg street price or real mari-juana, which can run $5 to $10 a gram.

Although the disclaimer helps manuac-turers get around legality issues, there isgrowing concern among lawmakers andthe public that people are smoking K2to get high.

Te Drug Enorcement Administration(DEA) says that the eects o smokingit are similar to marijuana because theherbs are laced with synthetic marijua-na. People who use it report a high lastingrom 30 minutes to two hours. But moredangerous side-eects are also reported vomiting, seizures, breathlessness, andincreased heart rate and blood pressure.Also, it takes a long time or the chemicalsto clear out o the body, so the long-termeects are not ully known. It also doesnot show up on many urine drug tests.

Kids think you can buy it over the In-ternet so its not harmul, said Dr. Ruther-oord Rose, director o the Virginia PoisonCenter at the Virginia CommonwealthUniversity Medical Center. Its denitelycausing harm, and you have no idea what youre putting into your body when youbuy these things.

Te Virginia Poison Center does nottrack how many times people are hospi-talized rom using the drugs. Rose saidthey have received a handul o casesreported in the Commonwealth. Te

American Association o Poison ControlCenters reported 1,500 calls due to useo K2 and similar substances across thenation last year. Tey call it an emergingphenomenon.

Earlier this week, the Roanoke Board oCounty Supervisors unanimously voted to

press the General Assembly to outlaw in-cense products such as K2 or Spice,reported the Roanoke imes. In HanoverCounty, concern is growing as well.

Peace said he met with a Hanover Coun-ty probation ocer who told him peopleon probation are using it because it doesnot show up in many drug tests . Te coun-ty is working to get tests that detect thesetype o drugs, and will charge people witha non-criminal oense i they are caughtusing it. But many would like to make it

completely illegal.Im very concerned about the harmul

eects, Peace said.Te drug can be a gateway to more

drugs, Peace said. Ater using it, peoplehave a desire or more and to use mari-juana.

So ar, 10 states have passed laws regu-lating its use.

Virginia ollowing seems likely. In 2008,the House and Senate unanimously passeda law outlawing the use o salvia, an herb

used as an alternate to marijuana.But marijuana legalization advocates

say that outlawing the substance could in-crease the use o the K2 incense.

When government bans these prod-ucts, it oten makes them more popularand used, said Allen St. Pierre, executivedirector o the National Organization orthe Reorm o Marijuana Laws, a lobbyistto make marijuana legal.

Because K2 and similar substances arereadily available on the Internet, they

would be dicult to control.While state legislators may be jump-

ing on the bandwagon to ban this latestdesigner drug, Lt. Soyars, a 19 year vet-eran with Lynchburgs Police Depart-ment recognizes that it may be a game ocat-and-mouse, with lawmakers and lawenorcement always one step behind themanuacturers who create the drugs spe-cically to all outside o current bans.

Its a designer drug. Obviously some-one created it. My eeling is that i you

outlaw the ingredients that are in this de-signer drug then whoever created it couldchange their ormula or the chemistry oit and create the same thing, just in a di-

Ostensibly sold as incense, the DEA says K2 is synthetic mari-

juana that people are smoking to get high andin some casessick.

Some Va. lawmakers want the product banned.

Trying Austerity

On for Size

If youre one of the lucky ones whove

managed to move through the current eco-nomic crisis unscathed, your outlook is nodoubt brighter than those who have beenhit hard by layoffs, foreclosures and more.

This is not the time to relax about theeconomy and your personal finances, how-ever -- because the problems are not over.

Whatever you have in savings for a rainyday or emergency, double it. Aim for a

minimum of nine months of living expensesthat you can get your hands on quickly,which means savings or money-market ac-counts.

Do a bare-bones budget and see what itlooks like. Consider various options. In one

you might subtract only the daily cappuc-cino from your expenses. In another notonly do you stop getting cappuccino butyou also cancel your book-club member-ship and decide to wear last years wintercoat. Perhaps you decide to go all the wayand stop eating at restaurants, having car-ryout delivered and buying prime cuts atthe butcher. Even if youre doing well so farin this ragged economy, you owe it to your-self to see what an austerity budget really

looks like.If youve never used coupons or paid at-

tention to sales flyers in the newspaper,start now. Spend more time saving money.

Pay down debt. While new laws havebeen passed to restrict the credit-cardcompanies, credit-card debt still comeswith a price tag in the form of interest andfees.

Spend your money on necessities thathave a future value, like vehicle tires. De-cide if you really need a new television, orif you just want it.

Consider what you would do for incomeshould you lose your job. Find out how

much unemployment benefits would be inyour area and how long youd get them.Calculate how much of your current billsyou actually could pay each month. Add inyour savings and re-do the math: How longcould you survive on a lower budget?

Vow to spend only on necessities for onemonth to see what it feels like. If you needencouragement to take some austeritysteps, attend a job fair and talk to job seek-ers.

Because it really isnt over. David Ufngton regrets that he can-not personally answer reader questions,

but will incorporate them into his column

whenever possible. Write to him in care of

erent way. Its going to be tough to ban it,he said.

But Soyars still supports the idea omaking the sale o K2 illegal.

I think it is important to have somesort o ban on it i it has the same eect as

marijuana. I you have people smoking itand they get behind the wheel, that causesproblems. Its a saety issue. Its not or hu-man consumption. It says that right thereon the pack. Whether making a law is go-ing to change people rom actually smok-ing it is up to each individual. Marijuanais not as big a problem here as heroin andcrack cocaine but it is one o the majordrugs we deal with on a daily basis. [K2] isa airly new thing thats come out and weare just learning about it, Soyars said.

Right now, not much is known aboutthese incenses. Where they come romand what is in them is oten unclear. Sev-eral websites that sell it are based in Chi-na.

But one thing is clear to lawmakers andpot-smokers alike it will get you high.

Ghostly Greeters Give

Gentle Fright

These friendly garden ghost greeters will give a gen-tle fright on Halloween night when partygoers andtrick-or-treaters stroll up the walkway to your home.

They are simple enough for families to make atthe last minute and use basic items you probablyhave on hand. Dress up several in different heights,

shapes and sizes for extra Boos!Heres the stuff youll need for one ghost:--2 large, sturdy white dinner-size paper plates--2 standard, lightweight wire clothes hangers--a 3-foot-long section of 1/2-inch dowel from thehardware store. An old broomstick, yardstick or treebranch of the same length also works--1 piece of 45-inch-by-45-inch lightweight white lin-

ing fabric, or use a lightweight white plastic dispos-able tablecloth cut to size--2 yards 1-inch-wide black ribbon--Self-stick craft foam sheets or felt and glue--Duct tape--Pliers and stapler

Heres the Halloween fun:1. To make arms for the ghost, unwind the top of t hehanger and straighten out the semi S shape. Thehanger will look like a three-sided topless rectanglein front of you: a short side, a base and a long side.2. Bend the short side down to the base, and twistthe wire in place with pliers to form a narrow loop.You now have one arm. Repeat with a second hang-er for the other arm.3. Twist together the top 4 inches of the long sides ofboth hangers. Wrap the twisted portion with tape tosecure in place. Now you will have two outstretchedarms and a neck at the point where the hangers aretwisted together.4. Tape the neck potion of the hanger to the topof the dowel, and then tape that part to the middleof the inside of a paper plate. Set a second plateon top and staple around all edges to complete thehead shape.5. Now its time to dress the ghost. Fold the fabricinto a large triangle. Set the center fold evenly over

the plate head and spread over the outstretched wirearms. Tape the very ends of the arms to the under-side of the fabric to hold it in place. Tie the ribbon

around the neck of the ghost just below the roundplates. Cut two ghostly eye shapes out of craft foamor felt. Stick them on or glue them to the fabric face.6. Poke the dowel or stick into the ground by yourwalkway. To display on a porch or deck, poke into aclay pot filled with sand.

Cleaning Up After Halloween

PrankstersQ: I live in a neighborhood thats known for more tricks than

treats. What I mean is, the teenagers around here like to egg

houses on Halloween night, throw rolls of toilet paper into

the trees -- that kind of thing. Last year I had to have my car

towed to the mechanic and the gas tank emptied because I

thought theyd put an egg into it. Anyway, how do I clean off

stains made by eggs, fruit and other stuff the kids throw atmy house? -- Herb D., DeLand, Fla.

A: Eggs thrown against the side of a house are pretty annoying,both when the prank first happens and then later, cleaning themoff. The protein in the egg adheres to exterior paint and can bedifficult to clean off. So the faster you tackle an egg stain, thebetter.

Heres a few tips on how to clean up a few different prankstermesses. Egg: Rinse off the egged area as soon as possible with coldwater and wipe with a damp cloth. If you cant get all the eggoff, apply an enzyme-containing laundry detergent, soak for a fewminutes, then rinse with cold water.

Toilet paper: Just lift it off of the papered object and throwaway. If pranksters papered a tree, use a long stick to bring paperstrands down. If the tree is near power lines, dont use the stick-- spray water to bring the paper down. Silly String: This is nontoxic and nonadherent to most surfaces.If its dry, simply brush it off. Avoid rinsing with water because thecolored foam will streak down the surface. Shaving cream: Remove from non-glass surfaces as quicklyas possible. Wipe away the foam first and then rinse with warmwater. Mud and grass -- Rinse away as fast as possible from yourhomes siding. If a grass stain is still visible, dab with a mixture ofwhite vinegar and alcohol, then rinse. Fruit: If rinsed off immediately, fruit acids shouldnt be a problem,but you can clean the area with an enzyme-containing detergentto be sure. Ketchup or mustard: Scrape away as much as possible with-out rubbing it deeper into the siding or masonry. Scrub with dry-cleaning solvent or an enzyme-containing detergent, and rinse.

Or, make a paste with baking soda and water and spread over atough stain, let soak and rinse away.

Send your home repair and maintenance questions to [email protected], or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features

Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Re -member, when in doubt as to whether you can safely or effectively

complete a project, consult a professional contractor.


While no house is completelysafe from Halloween prank-sters, deterrence measuresincluding motion-sensor out-

door lights, and indoor lightsand sound (such as a radioleft on) offer some protection.

Lauren had her rst

linedancingexperiencethisweek.Howdidshe

do?Readon.

By Lauren SattereldTe Lynchburg imes

I am always out and about in Lynch-burg, looking or un things to do andlooking or great new stories to write

about.Tis past week I went to Cattle Annieslocated right o 29 via the Odd FellowsRd. exit.

I had heard about a line dancing classthat was hosted every Tursday rom6:30 pm until 8 pm.

Tis class sounded interesting to me, Ihave seen various cowboy movies withun line dancing scenes where everyoneis in boots and knows all the steps.

I arrived a little early, making my way

inside with a ew other people whom Iguessed were part o the class. I walkedslowly behind them, taking in each de-tail o their attire and their riendly at-titude towards one another. Tere was

only one lady who I spotted in cowboyboots. Everyone else was in casual at-tire: jeans and blouses.

I elt a little less out o place in myNike running shoes.

Te age dierence was puzzling too,I gured I would be the youngest onethere by ar, but walking inside o CattleAnnies and seeing everyone gatheredtogether I saw that there was no certainage group but a mixture o people intheir early twenties to a lady who was inher sixties.

Dance instructor Linda Parker walked

up and warmly greeted me, welcomingme to her class and encouraging me tojust hop on the dance foor and have agood time. I thanked her and contin-ued to make my way towards the dancefoor.

At a table by the entrance to the danc-ing area I spotted two younger peoplechatting. I walked towards them eagerto see what they thought about the linedancing class.

Quick warm introductions were done

and I met Bob Lanning, 25, called BigGuy by Mrs. Parker and Alyson Wright,26. Tey were both very nice and toldme how great and un the class was.

I was not good at rst, Wright began,but ater I came a ew times I startedcatching on quicker and learning thesteps.

Lanning said the same about his expe-rience but both have been dancing withMrs. Parker or about a year now.

While talking, racie DeLuca walkedup to me and introduced hersel. Shewas very riendly and welcoming likeeveryone else. She let me with somegreat advice saying that, Te wholepoint o being here is to have un andhave a really, really good time.

Finally Mrs. Parker called us all ontothe dance foor. My new riends Lan-ning and Wright oered me a spot onthe back row with them. I graciously ac-cepted since I am not a dancer, I havetwo let eet and decided that the backrow would be saest!

Te rst dance that we did was a warmup to a popular pop/rap song.

Mrs. Parker walked us through the

steps twice: rst slow, with details as towhich oot should be used where andwhich oot you should end the step on.Te second time she did it a little asterpreparing us or the music, giving us 8counts to step to. I was eeling slightlycondent and the steps seemed easy.Te music started, the steps began andI am pretty sure that ater two o thesteps I was lost.

I panicked or a moment, not knowingwhat step I needed to do. Everyone elseknew the steps and was moving with noproblem. I took a deep breath and did

the only thing that I could, I just movedmy hips a little and tried to mimic theoot movement o the other dancers.

Te dance was only sixteen steps andrepeat, so little by little I recognized thesteps rom the introduction and by theend o the song I was stepping right andin others I was still lost, but I promisedmysel that no matter what happenedrom here on end, I was not going toquit trying and I was just going to keep

on moving, no matter how bad I was!Ater two more dancesone slowdance and one moderately ast oneIwas nding it hard to keep up with allthe steps and my vow to not quit was

really annoying me because although itwas un, I was beginning to get discour-aged a little.

During one o the water breaks a ewpeople came up to me and told me thatI was doing very well and that no mat-ter how great o a dancer you are it isalways hard to get the steps the rst ewtimes you come.

With my head held high and eeling alittle more condent ater the encour-agement, I made my way back to myspot, received a high ve rom Lanningand decided that no matter what, I was

Revenge of the Hillary Voters

Two-thirds of West Virginians approve of thejob performance of Gov. Joe Manchin. In ordi-

nary circumstances, that would be enough toget him any promotion he wants. Not in 2010.

Manchin trails Republican businessman JohnRaese in a key Senate race. As soon as hestepped off the state stage into a federal race,he became associated with Obama liberalism,a deadly virus against which personal popular-ity -- and even moderation -- provides only lim-ited immunity. If he loses, hell be a victim of therevenge of the Hillary voters.

In the 2008 Democratic primaries, HillaryClinton had persistent appeal among work-

ing-class whites, loosely defined as whiteswithout a college education. As Henry Olsenof the American Enterprise Institute notes, 94percent of West Virginians are white, and only17 percent of them have a bachelors degreeor higher. In the 2008 primary, Clinton beatBarack Obama in West Virginia by 67 percentto 26 percent. Today, Obamas approval ratingin the state is ... 29 percent.

Democrats have undertaken an experimentin whether you can be the self-styled party ofworking people if you dont have much appealto a swath of working people.

In Obamas case, the answer is yes, at leastit was in 2008. He lost the roughly 40 percentof the electorate that is working-class whites

to John McCain by 18 points, but made up thedeficit among other groups. In that context, thepreference of working-class whites for Repub-

licans over Democrats on the generic ballot by22 points this year isnt alarming.Obama running nationally conceivably can

overcome that kind of gap. But an untold num-ber of Democrats running in areas where work-ing-class whites predominate cant, as a matterof sheer arithmetic. Many of these Democraticmajority makers will be the sacrificial lambs ofObama liberalism.

According to Gallup, Obamas approval ratingis still above 50 percent among blacks, Hispan-ics, voters between ages 18-29, moderates,

postgraduates, singles and Easterners. Hesbelow 50 percent among everyone else, and inthe 30s among whites, voters 65 or older andmarried people -- exactly the voters who dis-proportionately turn out in midterm elections.

Liberals want to chalk this up to race. But inJanuary 2009, when President Obama was as

African-American as he is today, his approvalrating was 63 percent among whites.

Its long been an occupational hazard ofliberalism to get crosswise with working-classwhites. Obama is particularly vulnerable be-

cause he combines the affect of Adlai Steven-son with the economic performance of JimmyCarter. He came into office with working-classvoters suspicious that he didnt understandtheir concerns and proceeded with an agenda-- health care, cap-and-trade and all the rest ofit -- that didnt address their concerns, or work.

Obama famously boasted to a retiring con-servative Democratic congressman that thisyear would be different from 1994, becauseDemocrats had him at the top. Ask Joe Man-chin, among many others, how thats working

out.

Fast-Baked Apples with Oatmeal Streusel

Cooking apples in the microwave, rather than the reg-ular oven, yields plumper, juicier, less shriveled fruit-- and saves a big chunk of time! Baked apples havealways been a favorite dessert in America. Weveadapted Eliza Leslies recipe from the 1848 edition ofDirections for Cookery, and its still good today.

4 large (about 10 ounces each) Rome or Cortland

apples1/4 cup (packed) brown sugar1/4 cup quick-cooking oats, uncooked2 tablespoons (chopped) dates1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon2 teaspoons margarine or butter

1. Core apples, cutting out a 1 1/4-inch diameter

cylinder from center of each, almost but not all theway through to bottom. Remove peel about one-thirdof the way down from top. Place apples in shallow 11/2-quart ceramic casserole or 8-inch by 8-inch glassbaking dish.2. In small bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, datesand cinnamon. Fill each cored apple with equal

amounts of oat mixture. (Mixture will spill over top ofapples.) Place 1/2 teaspoon margarine or butter ontop of filling in each apple.3. Cook apples, covered, on Medium-High (70 per-cent power) until tender, 12 to 14 minutes, turningeach apple halfway through. Spoon cooking liquidfrom baking dish over apples to serve. Serves 4.

It was French poet, journalist and novelistAnatole France who made the following sageobservation: The law, in its majestic equality,forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep un-der bridges, to beg in the streets, and to stealbread. Those who study such things claim that babygirls smile more than baby boys. While in space, astronauts cant use tradition-

al salt and pepper. If they tried to sprinkle thecondiment on food, it would just float away, pos-sibly clogging air vents and otherwise wreakinghavoc. So some bright person came up withliquid forms of the seasonings. The English word for the fruit squash comesfrom the language of the Native American Nar-ragansett tribe. It means something eatengreen. If you ever decide to participate in a publicprotest in Greece, remember not to wear sun-

glasses. Since shades can hide your face,wearing them is illegal during demonstrationsthere. The Oldsmobile motor company also madeearly gasoline-powered lawnmowers. Wilhelm Rontgen discovered X-rays in 1895,and his work earned him the first Nobel Prizein Physics. His work also set off a fad amongmany women, who refused to undress evenbehind closed doors. They feared that X-rays

could be used to see through walls to spy onintimate moments. The famed Pony Express didnt actually useponies -- just horses. After the vows have been said in a traditionalKorean wedding, the groom formally introduceshis new wife to his parents. The brides father-in-law then pelts the bride with red dates, whichis supposed to ensure fertility.

or our more dances, I did not remem-ber, nor do I remember any o the steps.Tere was one dance that I had no ideawhat I was doing, I just kept moving,and even danced a sloppy Charlestonduring certain parts so that I didnt looktoo ridiculous.

I let the dance foor with a great eel-ing, I had gotten an hour and a halworkout, I had un and I made newriends. Te dancing was dicult attimes, easier at others but I never gaveup.

Te more advanced members o theclass stayed on the foor and danced aew songs with Mrs. Parker, dances thatthey knew by heart. I decided to havea seat and watch. Tey danced to LadyGaGas Bad Romance song and to an-other pop song.

I learned that line dancing is not justsome country western dance wherepeople kick up their boots and shoutyeehaw! but that line dancing is all

Farves Image Is Overexposed

Its week four of the NFL season as I write this, andBrett Favre is already apologizing -- but not for the1-3 start or the seven interceptions hes thrown thisseason (which matches his total from last season).No, the ol gunslinger is apologizing for being a dis-traction to his teammates, and in so doing, has basi-cally turned the Minnesota Vikings into the leaguesmost dysfunctional team.

Unless youve been trapped in a Chilean mine forthe past few months, you now know that Favre, thestatistical leader in most NFL passing records thatmatter, liked to show off his vital statistics in a se-ries of made-for-Playgirl photo sessions. These texts-- long-distance bombs -- were passed to a youngreceiver named Jenn Sterger, who worked as theJets team hostess in 2008, the year before Favre leftthat team to become the Wrangler-wearing purpleJudas.

But Ms. Sterger wasnt his only receiver -- just hispreferred one -- allegedly. Apparently not content tofollow in the text-steps of similar sports icon TigerWoods, Favre went the retired vice presidential route

and texted up a few massage therapists. Apparentlyall of that lactic acid put a knot in his brain becauseone of them was married, and wouldnt you know it?Husbands dont like that sort of stuff.

No, Favre didnt want to be the teams distractionthat week -- the week that just so happened to bethe one where they played the Jets, in New York, onMonday Night Football. Oh ... and for good measure,they traded for Randy Moss that week, too. WatchingFavre hook up with Moss in the Jets game was anelectrifying thing to see. The day before, the previ-ously unbeaten Chiefs basically lost their game whentheir receiver, Dwayne Bowe, couldnt haul down aneasy pass in the end zone. Watching the automatic,

blink-and-you-missed-it touchdowns by Favre andMoss had to have seen otherworldly for Kansas City.

An interception away from the Super Bowl last sea-son, the acquisition of Moss, paired with Adrian Pe-terson, Jared Allen and a host of other stars, wouldseem to make it quite apparent that the Vikings arein a win-now, win-at-all-costs mode. Favre is scram-bling for what remains of his career. For the past fewseasons, Favre has dragged the league and mediainto an incredibly annoying will he, or wont he soapopera that seemed to be more about stroking his egothan bringing home the hardware. Some media com-plained about his overexposure.

Now, thanks to Ms. Stegger -- Favres least favorite

receiver -- it would seem we have all the proof, infact, way much more proof than we needed in thatregard.

Smith Breakthrough

Racing in the Sprint Cup Series week to weekis as tough for Regan Smith and Furniture RowRacing as it is for the points leader, JimmieJohnson.

Probably tougher.Still, given the limitations in resources at the

small team, Smith is holding his own. Smith is30th in the point standings and has made thefield for every race. He is coming off his best fin-ish of the season, a 12th at Auto Club Speedwayin Fontana, Calif.

The 27-year-old Cato, N.Y., native was the2008 Raybestos Rookie of the Year.

In 2008, Smith, then driving for Dale Earn-hardt Inc., took the checkered flag a Cup race inTalladega, Ala. A controversial penalty for pass-ing under the yellow line overturned the victory,which was awarded instead to Tony Stewart.The record books show Smith as finishing 18th.

A late caution flag in Fontana put Smiths No.78 Chevy near the front of the field in the PepsiMax 400. Crew chief Pete Rondeau electedto change two tires while the leaders were allchanging four. That left Smith in second place

and with 13 laps remaining, he briefly took thelead.

The worn left-side tires took a toll on Smithsperformance, but it was worth a shot.

Two tires worked for us, said Smith. We

got the much-needed track position. Pete (Ron-deau) made a really good call at the end. Whenwe took the two tires, the car was pretty good.

I was just lacking a little bit of grip to hold it formuch more than that one lap. But to still main-tain 12th was pretty good. Its just frustrating to

be so close to the top 10 and not get it.What made the comeback even more note-

worthy was the fact that Smith had twice beenpenalized earlier in the race.

It was a roller-coaster day for us, he said.We were running in the top 15 early and thengot called for speeding twice on pit road, whichmoved us all the way back to the low 30s in trackposition.

I guess misery loves company.

that requirement in the service sector.We needed to place those monies in ar-

eas where tangible results could be seen,in the bricks and mortar side o develop-ment, Gillette said.

When responding to the question thatthe amount provided to the service sec-tor was a very small percentage o the ullamount provided by the CDBG, Gillettepointed out that We have the same ac-counting responsibilities to the govern-ment whether they have given us a $1grant or a $1 million grant. Tus, thesame amount o time, eort and money

would have to go into monitoring the useo the unds regardless o the amount be-ing used.

However, City Council is not planningto completely discontinue assistance tothe service sector. Tey just will not use

HUD money to do so. Gillette statedthat the current city budget has moniesearmarked or service sector agencies. Ithe agencies meet the citys requirements,there is no reason that they would be de-nied unding.

With regard to the Citys decision to al-locate CDBG unds to help pay o a loanto the Craddock-erry Hotel with an out-standing principal o $2,480,000, Gillettepointed out that the original agreementto use those unds were made by the CityCouncil ten years ago, long beore any othe present members were on the Coun-cil.

Tis agreement was made with a viewthat having such a hotel (the Craddock-erry Hotel is a privately owned boutiquehotel) in that part o town would help in-crease the desirability o development inthe downtown area. Tis is in keepingwith the long-term goal o revitalizing thedowntown area. Revitalizing the down-town area helps to strengthen the citystax base and deter neighborhood blight.I believe that is, in act, what is happen-ing.

Gillette continued, I also think that ithe present Council were to repudiatethe original agreement, we would be neg-ligent. Allocations o $325,772 in scalyear (FY) 2009 and $318,284 or FY 2010were paid rom the CDBG unds towardsthat loan.

Gillette also pointed out that the CDBGmonies which are being used to help payo the loan would eventually be paidback by the Hotel, either at a point whenthe Hotel would begin to turn a prot orwhen the investment would reach a pointwhere re-nancing could occur.

DOWNTOWN, from 1

By Stephen GrovesVirginia Statehouse News

The last election was the first time Del. Rich Ander-son, R- Woodbridge, ever cast his vote in a booth.

For the previous 30 years, the career air-force officersent his ballot from various military bases.

I went through seven presidential elections wonder-ing if my vote was counted, Anderson said.But new regulations in the absentee voting system areworking to make sure military personnel and overseasvoters get their votes counted, which could play an im-portant role in tight races.

For Virginians overseas, casting their vote can betough. International mail, the constant change of livingoverseas, and sometimes the complications of fightingon the front-lines make the simple task of exercising ademocratic right a challenge.

Our men and women in uniform are making signifi-cant sacrifices on a daily basis to protect our rights, in-cluding our right to vote, said Eric Eversale, executivedirector of the Military Voter Protection Project. Theleast we can do for them is to fight as hard for theirvoting rights as their fighting for ours.

The Commonwealth has had trouble with this in thepast. Last year, the Department of Justice sued thestate for failing to send over 2,000 absentee ballots tomilitary and overseas personnel by the deadline of 45days before the 2008 election.

But this election cycle looks like it may be different.Of the 132 Virginia voting localities, all but three sentout their military and overseas ballots by the Sept. 18deadline. The three that missed the deadline, Acco-mack County and the cities of Suffolk and Buena Vista,did so due to clerical errors, but sent them out by Oct.

1. About 135 ballots went out late from the localities.Having been in litigation over an issue makes you

very attentive to it, said Martha Brissette of the StateBoard of Elections.

Several laws passed in the last year also set newregulations. The Military and Overseas Voter Empow-erment (MOVE) Act put strict deadlines on localitiessending out ballots under the deadline and allowedballots to be sent by email.

Overseas Virginia voters also can register to vote on-line at the Federal Voting Assistance Program websitewhere they can print out a ballot. The Department ofDefense has said that if military personnel send theseballots back by seven days before the election, theywill express ship it to make sure it arrives in time.

The Virginia General Assembly also unanimouslypassed legislation to complement the MOVE Act. Lo-calities must report that they have sent ballots out bythe deadline and if there is a mistake, ballots can stillbe counted until 30 days after the election.

Anderson, who had just joined the General Assem-bly after a career in the Air Force, championed thelegislation in the House. He said making Virginia aleader in military and overseas voting rights is impor-tant because of the large number of military personneland veterans from the Commonwealth. There are over100,000 military personnel and over 700,000 veteransin Virginia.

The use of online technologies could also get moremilitary people voting said Bob Carey of the FederalVoting Assistance Program. He said the number of bal-lots downloaded from their website has multiplied fivetimes from 2006.

This large percentage makes them a valuable de-mographic as candidates scramble to pick up precious

votes with election day less than two weeks away. Inthe Second District, which appears to be coming downto the wire, both candidates are courting the militaryvote.

The Department of Defenses announcing the clos-ing of the Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) in the dis-trict has become a hot-button issue. Incumbent Demo-crat Rep. Glenn Nye has tried to pivot on the issue byleading the charge to save JFCOM. But his Republicanchallenger Scott Rigell accused Nye of falling asleepat the wheel for not being aware of the Department ofDefenses plans.

The military in recent years heavily supported Re-publicans, said Bob Holsworth, a political analyst.There is certainly concern about the policies of theObama administration, particularly the JFCOM deci-sion.

Republicans hoping to get a boost from the militarymight be why their party has been particularly activein protecting the military vote this election cycle. TheRepublican National Lawyers Association called on theDepartment of Justice last week to do more to ensurethe military gets their vote.But lawmakers like Anderson say their actions are notbased on partisanship but policy.

It doesnt matter if they are a Republican, Demo-crat, or independent, he said.

But every voter counts in an election year, whichcould let politics creep into the enforcement of the law.

The MOVE Act was passed by a bi-partisan groupof Senators and Representatives, Eversale said. Andthe enforcement of that law should be equally bi-parti-san.

Te new ederal health care reorm lawaced a major test on Monday in U.S. Dis-trict Court in Richmond, as lawyers orVirginia argued against its constitutional-ity.

Judge Henry E. Hudson said he wouldhave a decision by the end o the year, butacknowledged, As you well know, thisis only one brie stop on the way to theUnited States Supreme Court.

Te Commonwealth is attacking themandate o the new law that requiresall individuals to have health insurance even i they have to buy it themselves by 2014 or ace a ne.

Hudson said that he sees the case boil-ing down to the question o whether ornot Congress can regulate inactivity such as individuals deciding against buy-

ing health insurance.Currently, 20 other states are suing the

ederal government in a similar case inFlorida. Virginia Attorney General KenCuccinelli decided to le a separate law-suit because a current Virginia law standsin direct confict with the health carelaw.

On March 23, just moments ater thehealth care bill was signed into law, Cuc-cinelli led the lawsuit against the ed-eral government. Several weeks earlier,in anticipation o the ederal law, Gov.Bob McDonnell had approved the HealthCare Freedom Act passed by the legisla-ture that states Virginians cannot be re-quired to purchase health insurance.

U.S. Department o Justice lawyers,deending President Barack Obamasadministration, argued on Monday thateveryone uses the health care systemsimply by living, and Congress can im-

pose a minimum coverage provision.Uninsured individuals cost the Americaneconomy an estimated $43 billion everyyear, they said.

Lawyers or the Commonwealth arguedthat the U.S. Constitution doesnt giveCongress the power to make people buyany product.

Te government is attempting tostretch the constitutions CommerceClause to allow it to regulate inactivity,something that it has never done beore,Cuccinelli said ater the hearing.

Both sides also argued over whether ornot the ne imposed or not purchasinghealth insurance is a tax.

Te law they passed says the mandatewas a penalty, not a tax, Cuccinelli said.

He said that Obama himsel explainedthe health insurance mandate as a pen-alty, not a tax.

But ederal government lawyers saidthe health insurance mandate alls underCongress taxing powers and that Obamadidnt say it wasnt a tax, he said it wasnot a tax increase.

At the press conerence ater the hear-ing, Cuccinelli painted the lawsuit as a

battle over the limits o government.Tis case is ultimately not about health

insurance or health care. Tis case isabout protecting liberty. It is about theouter-reach o ederal power Cuc-cinelli said. I Virginia loses this ghtand the ederal government is allowed tocross this line, Congress will be grantedvirtually an unlimited power to order youto buy anything.

He compared the courtroom battle tothe American colonists complaint in1774 against the British government overregulating commerce. He also said he ex-pects his arguments to prevail.

I the health care law is ruled unconsti-tutional, its possible the entire law wouldbe nullied. Te law doesnt have a sever-ability clause, which means single statutescant be cut out o it.

Te Department o Justice respondedto the case in a written statement: TeDepartment o Justice will vigorously de-end the health care reorm statute in anylitigation challenging it on constitutionalor other grounds. We are condent thatthis statute is constitutional and that wewill prevail.

Tere are more than a dozen current

lawsuits challenging the health care re-orm law. Last week in the Florida case,the judge ruled the case can move or-ward to a hearing. But in a Michigan case

earlier this month, a judge ruled Congressdidnt overstep its authority. Te SupremeCourt will likely decide the matter.

Te rst set o health reorms took e-ect on Sept. 23, but the law is not sched-uled to be ully implemented until 2014.

Federal judge to rule on health insurance mandate by years end

This case is ultimately not about health insurance or health care.

This case is about protecting liberty. It is about the outer-reach of

federal power Va. Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli

years as Chie Deputy Clerk. Tisgives him a strong inside knowledgeo the workings o the oce. He wasalso instrumental in helping the oceincorporate computers and trainingpersonnel in the Financial, Case andRecords Management Systems whenhe was Chie Deputy Clerk. He hasworked to continue to keep the oceworking eciently in spite o the bud-get crunches and the downsizing opersonnel.

Wingeld has been recognized as astrong leader and administrator. Dur-ing his law enorcement career, heworked closely with the criminal sec-tion o the Clerks oce. Also, his wieJeannine was supervisor o that sectionor 31 years.

Wingeld has received Palmers en-dorsement. When asked his reasons,Palmer replied, Ron is a good guy. I

just think that Eugene is probably bet-ter equipped as a manager. Wingeldwas Captain o the Lynchburg PoliceForce beore he retired in 2005.

A Circuit Court Clerk is an adminis-trator and the nancial ocer or thecourt. Irvine, in his role as Chie Depu-ty Clerk, was charged with administer-ing the budget. In act, his educationalbackground was in accounting andbudgeting administration.

Tese members o the judicial brancho government act as the keepers othe records or the court. Everythingthat is seen in court goes through thedesk o the Circuit Clerk rst. Anyonewanting to research a case does it atthe Circuit Courts oces.

Besides needing to be a good admin-istrator and nancial ocer, the Clerkand his oces are charged with over800 responsibilities and duties in the

Code o Virginia, including the custo-dy and saekeeping o legal documents,the ling and docketing o criminaland civil cases, assessment o nes andcost, docketing judgments, recordingland records, probating wills, issuingmarriage licenses, processing districtcourt appeals and executing bonds andadministering oaths.

Te Circuit Court Clerk inspects civ-il, criminal, juvenile, and probate l-ings to conrm that they are complete.Tey open up a record on each ling,which will be used to track the lingas it moves through the court. CircuitClerks regularly attend court or sendtheir assistants to court as their repre-sentatives. Tey keep copies o docu-ments presented in court, nal rulings,and other inormation.

Another responsibility o the CircuitClerks is keeping records o moniesthat have moved through the court.Tey may also act as collection agents.However, this job can be contracted

out to companies that specialize insuch work to more eciently collectpast-due ees owed to the court.

Tese court ocers also provide in-ormation about the court to people at-tending court, ranging rom answeringquestions about court hours to helpingpeople with legal lings.

With all o these responsibilities,the Circuit Court Clerk has a team oemployees to help. Te work in even

a small court can be overwhelmingor one person. Tus, when refectingon the capabilities o the vying can-didates, working with less money andless people will be a key issue, which

both candidates recognize.As Irvine has pointed out, I am

committed to keeping this oce as e-cient as possible. I have worked longhours since being appointed to keepingthe oce up to date with all recordingsand other court unctions even duringthe budget crunches and downsizingo oce personnel.

Wingeld, or his part, states that hewill, Review all current oce opera-tions, responsibilities and resources inorder to address current and expectedstate budget restraints.

What do these candidates see as be-ing the most important unction o the

Clerks oce?Irvine believes that it is, to try and

help the public as best we can and pro-cess and protect all the records o thisoce as eciently as possible.

Wingeld says it is to serve theLynchburg community by being a pro-essional guardian o the records.

As this is a special election, the twomen are campaigning or a positionwhose term will end next year. Next

all, a whole new campaign will have tobe undertaken. Te Clerks job is nor-mally or an eight-year term.

When to Call the VetDEAR PAWS CORNER: Since becoming a cat

owner (I adopted Sally in March), Ive had

this fear that something will go wrong with

her and I wont catch it in time, like an illness

or injury. Sometimes she meows a lot, and

Im not sure why it is, but Im embarrassed

to contact the veterinarian because it doesnt

seem like a big problem. When should I call

the vet? -- Gerry T., via e-mail

DEAR GERRY: That youre worried about thepossibility of Sally getting sick shows that yourea caring pet owner, and that you probably keep

a close eye on her general health and behavior.I can understand your worrying about an illnessgoing undetected, especially if youre a first-timeowner.

Most veterinarians are understanding andavailable to check out Sally anytime youre notsure about her general health. You should alwaysbe able to call the vets office with questions, andif a phone call doesnt allay your concerns, thefront desk should schedule a visit with the vetand not put you off.

While its unlikely that a healthy, well-adjusted

cat will have an emergency, it pays to be pre-pared. For example, your cat might be attackedby another pet and suffer injuries. Have somebasic first-aid supplies on hand and easy to ac-cess just in case: gauze bandages, disinfectant,an emergency blanket. Also, have the number ofthe nearest 24-hour emergency veterinary clinicposted next to your phone or in your mobilephones address book, in addition to the regularvets number.

Have a question about your pet? Contact Sam

at [email protected]., or write to Paws Cor-

ner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box

536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Find more pet

sive management experience in the legal system. Eugene Wing-

eld (left) is a retired Lynchburg Police Captain who is presently

working as the investigator in the Lynchburg Commonwealths

Attorneys Ofce. Ronald Ron Irvine (right) was appointed to llthe clerk position following the retirement of Clerk Larry Palmer.

Irvine worked at the Clerks ofce for 23 years and was Chief Dep-

Yes, yes, you all, just get in line to touchthe hem o the garment o your avoritelocal reporter who has been covering theSalahis and the sometime bitter disputeover the amily winery or years the re-porter who got his 10 seconds o SPEAK-ING (eat your heart out, McDermott) ameon the nationally televised and eagerly (I

guess) anticipated nal season episode othe Real Housewives o D.C.

About 55 minutes in to that episode,Party Politics, I was earing Id been leton the cutting room foor ater being alert-ed to the possibility by show producersa week earlier that an interview Id donewith NBC V 4 in Washington, DC nearlya year ago might be included in the sea-sons nal episode. But never ear whatnational V producer once alerted to theBianchini charisma, the journalistic in-

sight, the V-riendly smile, actually moreo a good-natured smirk, could snip, snipthe magic away?

Apparently, not those rom Hal YardProductions.

Suddenly and dramatically I, well my dis-embodied voice, rose up i not Biblically atleast sort o V magically in a voice over asthe amiliar image o areq and MichaeleSalahi strolling into the rst White HouseState Dinner o the Obama Administra-tion graced the screen ollowing a lead inabout where were the couple in the wakeo the explosion o publicity about an in-cident that enfamed the national tabloidmedia, and distracted the allegedly seri-ous national media rom the implicationso the state dinner on relations between

the U.S. and the worlds most populousnuclear power in the worlds most unstablegeographical region and even got a ew

people, including a White House socialsecretary and some Secret Service person-nel, either red or stretched out under thelash o embarrassed superiors.

Whats the uss, some asked.Well, i HEY can do it, whos next?Do what?Well, breach White House security alleg-

edly with nothing more than your smiles,sari, tux, and new hair do, and get hand-around-the-shoulder riendly with the

vice president and within spitball distance

o a President o the United States manydisturbed people in the world, and moretroubling in this nation itsel, would like tohit with more than a spitball.

What do locals think o the couple that

was nowhere to be ound as the DC me-dia horde descended on Warren Countyor answers? Who better to ask than that

expert tracking the couples amily in-ghting and shenanigans or years?

Well i you ask --ans, I began, draw-ing the word out (I was making this up onthe spot, olks), o the couple, they are theprince and princess and international goodwill ambassadors (o Oasis Vineyards Imight have elaborated). alk to critics andthey are seen as dilettante, jet set squan-derers o resources and bankrupters o theamily business take your pick, I replied,eyebrows arching, smile-smirk broaden-

o our DVR recording as the other D.C.

housewives continued their brutal assess-ment o a couple they see as even moresel-centered and manipulative than them-

selves and in a television-land venuewhere ego and personal manipulation isthe gold standard o involvement, that isquite an indictment.
