UM, CAN I GIVE THESE COPIES TO THE CLERK AND I ONLY HAVE THREE AND SO THEY CAN, UM, I WAS VERY CONCERNED WITH THE, UM, SHANNON DO FARMS NEWSLETTER THAT WENT OUT.
AND SO I WANTED TO COME AND MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD MEMBER SAW WHAT THE P O S F INC CORPORATION, UM, HAS PUT FORTH HERE IN THE SUMMER AND OUR VOTING, UM, NEWSLETTER.
AND, UM, I JUST THOUGHT IT, THEY, THEY BLAME YOU.
[00:05:01]
BLAME THE ADMINISTRATION.THEY EVEN HAVE THE ED IN HERE THAT, OH BOY, IT'S ED'S FAULT.
AND BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE, UM, THE OTHER ADMINISTRATION, UM, WENT ALONG AND DID WHAT, AND ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY DID AND EVERYTHING, AND SO OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW, AND I WAS VERY UPSET ABOUT IT, CUZ I HAVE SPOKE TO A COUPLE OF MY NEIGHBORS AND THEY WERE VERY UPSET OVER THE LETTER AND EVERYTHING.
AND SO I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO 'EM ABOUT HOW, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T, WE HAVE NO THE SANITARY DISTRICT, UNLESS YOU BECOME A MEMBER OF IT, THEN YOU CAN SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE DON'T, AND I'M NOT, AND NONE OF MY NEIGHBORS ARE OR ANYTHING.
SO I TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT AND EVERYTHING.
AND THEN HOW PSF INC BOY, THEY, UM, UM, WENT AND BE BECAME A POA, RIGHT? WELL, TO BE A POA, ALL THE MEMBERS ARE SUPPOSED TO OWN THE PROPERTY.
AND SO THEN, UM, WE'RE SORT OF FIGHTING THAT, BUT POOR, I GUESS EVEN THE GIRL SCOUTS CAN GO AND SAY THAT THEY ARE A POA AND THIS TYPE OF STUFF.
SO THEN HERE, EVEN IN THEIR OWN NEWSLETTER, WHICH I DID COPY, I DIDN'T COPY OFF THE WHOLE THING FOR YOU, BUT IN THE WHOLE, IN THE NEWSLETTER, IT DOES STATE ABOUT MEMBERSHIP IS VOLUNTEER.
SO HERE THEY'RE EVEN STATING THAT IT'S VOLUNTEER.
THAT'S NOT MANDATORY AND EVERYTHING, BUT YET THEY SAY SOMETHING ELSE.
AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE, UM, UM, HOW THE BOARD IS RECOGNIZING AND WANTING EVERYTHING TO BE TRANSPARENT.
UM, BUT THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND THE, UM, THE P S F INK THAT HAS WROTE THIS AND PUT THIS OUT TO OVER 2000 PEOPLE, UM, TOTAL COMPLETE LIES, UM, THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY HELD FOR THIS.
UM, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WERE ELECTED AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT AND THAT THE, UM, THAT YOUR ADMINISTRATION COULD BE APPOINTED BY YOU AND EVERYTHING AND THE JOBS AND ALL THAT.
BUT YOU GUYS ARE THE MOST TRANSPARENT AND I'VE BEEN COMING DOWN HERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND THE MOST TRANSPARENT, BUT THE ACCOUNTABILITY NEEDS TO BE THERE THAT YOU CAN'T SIT HERE AND LIE LIKE THIS.
I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH, BUT I HONESTLY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SPREADING LIES AND RUMORS IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
AND THEN I, I KNOW THAT THEY CALL ME CUZ I'M ONE OF THESE PEOPLE THAT COME IN THAT THE, UM, LET'S SEE, WHAT IS IT? THE, UM, THE NAYHA AND UM, I MEAN, I KNOW BEING CALLED A DEPLORABLE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT TRUMP IT'S BECAUSE I'M AN AMERICAN AND I STAND FOR THE CONSTITUTION AND THE CONSTITUTION OF VIRGINIA, THOSE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS OF ALL.
AND UM, BUT I DO LIKE THE FACT THAT THEY DID RAISE ME UP TO A MEGA, LET'S SEE, WHAT IS IT, MEGA PATRIOT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I WAS LIKE, OH YEAH, BUT HERE, DO THEY CALL YOU, YOU KNOW, THAT YOUR, UH, NAYSAYER AND STUFF, BUT ALL THE STUFF IT IS THAT WE HAVE BROUGHT IN HAVE BEEN TRUE.
WE HAVE NOT FABRICATED ANYTHING BROUGHT IN, UH, THE JUDGEMENTS AND EVERYTHING FROM THE JUDGES, BUT THEN THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY.
AND SO I WANTED THIS TO GO INTO THE RECORD FOR WARREN COUNTY AND LET YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT IT, SO THAT THEN MAYBE SOMETHING COULD BE DONE ON THIS ASPECT OF BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING OUT.
YOU, ANYONE ELSE, MRS. SHARP? NO ONE ELSE HAS SIGNED UP.
WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? MADAM CHAIR? YES, SIR.
MAY I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION FOR THE, THE, THE, UM, INDIVIDUAL WHO JUST MADE A PRESENTATION? YES, SIR.
JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT, UH, HOW LONG HAS THERE BEEN, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS BETWEEN YOU AND THE PSF, HOW LONG HAS THERE BEEN KIND OF LIKE A, A PUSH AND PULL? OH, JIM AND CRICKET.
UM, MY HUSBAND FAMILY BROUGHT THE, BOUGHT THE PROPERTY IN SEVEN EITHER.
I BECAME INVOLVED IN 2005 AND WE ACTUALLY EVEN TOOK THE INFORMATION AND SHOWED IT TO THE CORPORATION, THE BOARD MEMBERS AND EVERYTHING.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY, IT'S JUST THAT,
[00:10:01]
YOU KNOW, THE TUNNEL VISION, YOU GET SOMETHING IN YOUR THING AND THAT'S ALL IT IS.AND SO I HAVE BEEN, I WAS A BOARD MEMBER.
AND THEN WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT ALL OF THIS STUFF THAT GOING ON, IT WAS LIKE, OOH, I'M NOT GONNA BE A PART OF THIS.
AND SO, UH, BRINGING IT TO THE GOVERNING BODY AND PUTTING IT IN.
SO IT'S BEEN A VERY LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME, BUT I DO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY.
AND, UM, IT'S JUST THAT THE ACCOUNTABILITY, YOU KNOW, CUZ EVEN IF I GET SOMETHING WRONG, I'M GONNA GO BACK TO EVERYBODY.
I TALK TO AND TELL HIM I WAS WRONG AND, BUT THIS IS JUST COMPLETE MISREPRESENTS AND I JUST DON'T SEE THE PURPOSE OF BLAMING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, THE, THE ADMINISTRATION, THE NAYSAYERS FOR THEIR FAILED CORPORATION.
ANYONE ELSE? SECOND CALL WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK THIRD AND FINAL CALL.

I JUST THANK THE LORD THAT THIS WAS AN UNFOUNDED REPORT, BUT AGAIN THAT WE MUST BE ON, YOU KNOW, WE MUST TAKE THIS SITUATION VERY SERIOUSLY, BUT I JUST WANTED JUST TO PUT A BIG SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED IN PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN.
UM, LAST NIGHT, UM, I IN ABOUT ABOUT 26 OTHER CITIZENS, UM, PARTICIPATED AT THE SHERIFF'S SAFETY TRAINING LAST NIGHT, UM, FOR OUR FAITH BASED FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS.

SO, UM, THIS TRAINING, THE TRAINING WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND UM, I THINK WOULD BENEFIT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL.
UH, THEY POSTED THIS ON FACEBOOK.
SO I MEAN IF THE NEXT EVENT THAT COMES OUT I'LL ILL, I'LL ANNOUNCE IT FOR OTHER FOLKS TO GET INVOLVED.
IT, IT WAS VERY, IT WAS VERY WELL DONE.
THE NEXT ONE WAS THE 22ND, THE 22ND.
IT IT'S WORTH TO GO AND, AND SIT DOWN AND, AND BECAUSE NOT ONLY, I MEAN, EVEN THOUGH THE FOCUS IS ON YOUR ORGANIZATION, IT CAN ALSO BE FOCUSED AROUND YOUR HOME.
SO ANYWAY, IT WAS VERY, IT WAS WELL DONE.
I ALSO ATTENDED THE ST LUKE COMMUNITY CLINIC GALA AT THE CHATO GOLF CLUB.

UM, AGAIN, I ENJOY WORKING WITH THAT GROUP, UH, THE GROUP OF PEOPLE, VERY, VERY SMART AND INTELLIGENT AND TOP OF OUR STAFF WHO SUPPORTS IT AS WELL.
BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
UM, AS OF LAST MONDAY, I HAD WENT INTO, WENT TO THE
[00:15:01]
BLUE MOUNTAIN BOARD MEETING.UM, THAT WAS A GREAT MEETING FOR THE COMMUNITY UP THERE.
THEY HAD SOME ELECTIONS THAT THEY WERE DOING.
THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB IN, UM, ESTABLISHING THEIR, UH, BOARD MEMBERS.
UM, ALSO ON THE 13TH WAS AT THE, UM, UM, MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATING ASSOCIATION MEETING THAT, UM, HAS REPRESENTATIVES FROM PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTY FROM A, FROM A FAITH BASED UNIT.
UM, WE HAD A BOARD MEETING ON THE 13TH, SO WE WERE BUSY, UH, THAT NIGHT AS WELL.
UH, THERE ON THE 14TH, WE HAD A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, WHICH WAS GREAT BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND, UH, COVERING SOME OF THE METRICS METRICSES AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO, UM, ADJUST OUR COMMUNITY TO THE, TO THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AS IT GROWS.

UH, THEY ELECTED NEW PRESIDENTS AND NEW VICE PRESIDENTS AND ALL THAT.

I THINK, UM, ALL LAST, UH, LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS TODAY, WE HAD A SHANDOR SHORES MANAGEMENT GROUP, UH, RIBBON CUTTING, WHICH IS THE FIRST ACTUAL, UM, NEW BUSINESS IN MY DISTRICT.

AND, UH, A COUPLE OF LUNCHES OUT WITH MY LOVELY WIFE.

UM, AND SO WE WANTED TO CELEBRATE THEIR SUCCESS.
UH, I ALSO, UH, ATTENDED THE LIBRARY'S ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.

UM, SO IT HAS A HISTORY PRIOR TO THAT.
THEY HAD, UM, INCREDIBLE FOOD AND IT WAS CATERED, UM, BY ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES.
AND WE WERE ALL TRYING TO TALK HER INTO CATERING OUR NEXT EVENTS, BUT SHE'S NOT HERE IN ANY OF THAT.

UH, THE FREDERICK COUNTY HOMESTEADERS HOSTED A FARM CRAWL, AND, UM, THERE WERE SIX LOCAL FARMS WHERE YOU COULD BUY LOCAL PRODUCE AND MEAT AND THEIR LOCAL PRODUCTS.
AND YOU BASICALLY WENT FROM ONE FARM TO THE NEXT.
AND, UM, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, I'M REALLY TO LIKE ORGANIC AND GOOD FOOD, BECAUSE I THINK MOST OF OUR ILLNESSES ARE CREATED BY A CRAP THAT'S IN THE GROCERY STORE.
SO ANYWAY, SO I WAS REAL EXCITED
AND, UM, AND THEN THE LAST THING THAT I'D LIKE TO REPORT ON IS ON SATURDAY, I ATTENDED CONSTANT A CONSTITUTION, UH, DAY CELEBRATION AT THE MOUNT HEBREW CEMETERY IN WINCHESTER.

SO ANYWAY, I'M GONNA WORK ON THAT.
UM, WE ALL ATTENDED ON THE 13TH OF SEPTEMBER IN ADVANCE TO REVIEW OUR GOALS AND VISION.

AND LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE INVITED, UM, I SENT AN EMAIL OUT TO THE SHERIFF, TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE, TO THE DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL SERVICES, TO NORTHWESTERN COMMUNITY SERVICES.
UM, I THINK THAT THE CHIEF, UH, FIRE AND RESCUE, I THINK THAT COVERS, I MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME OTHERS AND I MIGHT ADD SOME OTHERS AS THEY COME UP, BUT THIS IS GONNA BE A VERY INFORMAL, YOU JUST COME, WE WILL BREAK OFF INTO DIFFERENT CORNERS.
UM, AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF THE CHIEF OR, UM, THE SHERIFF OR WHOEVER, YOU CAN JUST GET IN LINE TO GO TO THAT AREA.
AND THEN IF YOU DECIDE TO GO TO SPEAK WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, YOU CAN, WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE THIS, UM, ANY BIG ELABORATE THING.
AND I INVITE THE REST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS TO ORGANIZE THEIR OWN, UM, AS YOU SEE FIT, UM, SO THAT EACH OF OUR DISTRICTS IS COVERED FOR THIS, BUT, UM, WE ARE GONNA START IT OFF WITH, UM, WITH THE SOUTH RIVER DISTRICT.
AND ON THE 14TH, WE HAD A FIRE CHIEF'S MEETING AT LINDEN'S COMPANY FOR TO, UM, DISCUSS ISSUES GOING ON WITHIN THE FIRE SYSTEM.
UM, THOSE MEETINGS ARE VERY PRODUCTIVE.
WE HAVE THEM, UM, EVERY SECOND OR THIRD MONTH, I THINK OUR NEXT ONE IS IN NOVEMBER.
WE GOT A LITTLE BIT BEHIND BACK IN THE SUMMER AND LET'S SEE ON TODAY, IS IT NATIONAL DAY? SO I WANNA RECOGNIZE SAM AND PAUL ARE HERE DOING OUR VIDEO AND KEEPING US ON TRACK HERE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE DANNY AND TODD AND THEY DO AN AWESOME JOB.
UM, LAST WEEK WAS PAYROLL WEEK AND I WANNA RECOGNIZE MISS KAYLA LAAR CUZ SHE DOES AN AWESOME JOB.
SHE GETS EVERYBODY'S CHECKS OUT.
SO I KNOW EVERYBODY APPRECIATES MISS KAYLA LEDAR.
UM, I WENT TO THE SKYLINE HANLEY GAME ON FRIDAY.
I THINK IT WAS NECK AND NECK AND SKYLINE.
AND AT THE LAST MINUTE I THINK HANLEY PULLED IT OUT.
I DIDN'T GET TO WATCH IT CUZ I WAS SELLING OREOS FOR MY ROTAN GROUP.
UM, WE DO THESE FUNDRAISERS TO GIVE SCHOLARSHIPS TO EACH OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
AND IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO COME HELP ME FRY OREOS, WE'RE GONNA DO IT AGAIN AT THE WARREN COUNTY GAME IN NOVEMBER, I BELIEVE.

UM, JUST TO POINT OUT, WE HAVE NOW COMPLETED THE MORGAN FOUR BOAT LANDING PROJECT.
[00:25:01]

UM, SO WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THEM COME DOWN AND, AND CELEBRATE THE OPENING WITH US AND THANK THEM FOR THEIR FUNDING.
UM, THE PURCHASER'S BANK REQUIRES A SURVEY FOR THE PROPERTY.
UM, SO WE'LL UPDATE THE BOARD WHEN WE HAVE, UM, THE AMENDMENT AND THE COMPLETED SURVEY, UM, READY FOR BOARD APPROVAL.
AND I TOO WANNA ECHO JUST TO THANK YOU TO, UM, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THE FIRE AND RESCUE AND THE TOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION STAFF, AND THE TEACHERS FOR KEEPING OUR STUDENTS SAFE YESTERDAY.
