REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS Supervisor Church: He addressed the issue of the reassignment of Roanoke City School Resource Officer Butch Lewis which was covered in a Roanoke Times article today. He stated that the students, teachers, administrators, parents and the school resource officer (SRO) are the losers in this situation because it "puts handcuffs" on the SRO's. He emphasized that if situations are occurring in the schools, he wants the SRO's to report them. He noted that a SRO may be the last line of communication for troubled students, and he hopes a just decision in this matter will be rendered because it will have far-reaching effects. Supervisor McNamara: He noted that reports of board members are individual opinions which do not represent the opinions of the Board as a whole. Supervisor Minnix: He reported that he will be out-of-town attending a church conference until August 2, 2003. Supervisor Flora: He recounted a story regarding his recent travels on Delta Airlines and indicated that an additional reason for supporting the region's efforts to attract aloes-fare air carrier is that the increased competition will result in a higher quality of service for customers.

Elmer C. Hodge ~:~ ~~/~~~ County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: In 1994 the Board of Supervisors, in response to numerous requests for financial support from sports groups and other civic and community service organizations, directed Parks and Recreation staff to develop a matching grant program for those groups wishing to make improvements and/or additions to parks and recreation facilities in Roanoke County. The program, the Capital Improvement Incentive Fund (CIIF) was approved and implemented in fiscal year 1994-1995 and provides assistance for individual projects of up to 50% of the project costs with a maximum grant of $10,000. Since the program was implemented, there have been 91 grants awarding a total of $502,237, to a variety of Rec Clubs, School P.T.A.'s and other community service agencies. The estimated value of improvements to public facilities is $1,474,554, which translates into a 3 to 1 return on Roanoke County's investment. The grant application process is very competitive. There were 16 applications this year requesting $77,080. The selection committee, which consists of Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission members and staff, evaluates all applications based upon established criteria. ~I -~ Following is a list of this year's awards, as well as an attachment showing the numerous improvements made countywide since the start of the program. We would like to recognize all the groups who have participated, as it is an awesome testimonial of the support Roanoke County citizens have for quality parks and recreation facilities. C.I.I.F.

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission has directed staff to review the sanctioning policy and develop amendments to include a more detailed definition of howa recreation club could and should be formed in Roanoke County. The quality of the youth sports program is directly related to the organizational strength of the volunteer recreation clubs in the community.

McCrary Director of Social Services APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Department of Social Services receives, throughout the year, additional appropriations for public assistance and services delivery. The State has made available an additional $85,000 for Aid to Dependent Children -Foster Care, $15,000 for Adoption Subsidy, $7,500 for Special Needs Adoption, and $15,000 for Energy Assistance. The Department of Social Services cannot access these funds until the County has appropriated the same.

FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact - 100% state funds STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends appropriation of $122,500 to the fiscal year 2002-2003 Social Services budget for BL 602000-5730 Aid to Dependent Children -Foster Care ($85,000), BL 602000-5771 Adoption Subsidy ($15,000), BL 602000-5770 Special Needs Adoption 1 ($7500), BL 601000-1020 for Energy Assistance ($15,000), and to appropriate same revenue from the State.

A-072203-3.d ITEM NO. J-5 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: July 22, 2003 AGENDA ITEM: Request to accept additional state revenues and appropriate to the Sheriff's Office for fiscal year 2002-2003 budget SUBMITTED BY: Brent Robertson Director of Management and Budget APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: During FY 2002-2003, as in previous years, the inmate population at the Roanoke County Jail has remained above capacity. In addition, the average daily inmate population increased from 220 to 240 through FY 2003, an increase of 9% over the prior fiscal year. The average population for the final quarter for FY 2003 was approximately 241. As a result, operational costs such as food, utilities, medical costs, etc. continue to consume a substantial portion of the Jail's budget. Due to the increased inmate population, the Sheriff is projecting expenditures related to inmate care to exceed original budget allocations by $147,000 for FY 2002-2003. For comparative purposed, the year-end adjustment approved by the Board for the prior year was $217,000. Roanoke County is reimbursed by the state for salaries, mileage, office expenses, and for housing state prisoners. The reimbursement for state responsible inmates varies between a rate of $6 and $8/day. In addition, the City of Salem reimburses the County for housing its prisoners on a per diem basis. State reimbursement for commonwealth responsible prisoners is subject to state prisoner population, general assembly appropriations, and political factors, variables difficult to consider in revenue projections. During previous fiscal years, state revenue receipts have exceeded the conservative state budget projections by an amount that would cover increased Jail expenditures caused by higher than normal inmate populations. The mid-year reductions employed by the state in the prior and current fiscal years have greatly reduced these additional funds. Based on the revenue estimates versus the projected revenues anticipated to be collected from the state and from the City of Salem for the Sheriff's Department for FY 2002-2003, revenues in excess of budget for these categories should total approximately $100,000. The remainder of the appropriation will be applied to general fund revenues that are projected to exceed original budget estimates. The FY 2003-2004 expenditure budget for the Jail has been adjusted to reflect the increased inmate population that has remained constant over the last several years; therefore, if additional appropriations are needed at the end of the current fiscal year the addition should be minimal. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends an appropriation adjustment to recognize an additional $147,000 of revenue for FY 2002-2003 for personnel and operations reimbursement and increasing the FY 2002-2003 Care and Confinement budget within the Sheriffs department by $147,000 to cover increased operational costs of the jail caused by increased inmate population, staffing requirements, and capital reimbursements.

J-6 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: July 22, 2003 AGENDA ITEM: Request to accept and appropriate a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) grant in the amount of $1,500 for DUI and safety restraint checkpoints and roving DUI patrols SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: James R. Lavinder Chief of Police Elmer C. Hodge County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Roanoke County Police Department conducts numerous child safety seat and DUI checkpoints per year. Child safety seat checkpoints provide an alternative to enforcement to help minimize the deadly impacts of accidents related to improperly installed child safety seats. DUI checkpoints and roving DUI patrols provide an effective tool to strictly enforce DUI and aggressive driving violations. The DMV has provided this grant to assist in paying the personnel cost of the officers working these checkpoints and roving DUI patrols. FISCAL IMPACT: DMV has provided $1,500 in grant funds with no matching funds required. The grant period runs from April 28, 2003 to September 30, 2003. ALTERNATIVES: At this time no alternative funding is available, and the funding is provided to the Police Department with no requirement of matching funds. If accepted, these funds should be appropriated to the Roanoke County Police Department's uniform personnel overtime and FICA accounts. .~, STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends acceptance and appropriation of the DMV grant in the amount of $1,500.

SUBMITTED BY: W. Brent Robertson Director of Management and Budget APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Roanoke County applied for a Local Government Challenge Grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. The Commission will match up to $5,000, (if full funding is approved) any donation the County makes to qualified art organizations in the valley. In the FY 2003-04 budget, the Board of Supervisors approved an appropriation of $2,000 for the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge; $2,000 for the Harrison Museum of African American Culture; $5,000 for Mill Mountain Theatre; and $6,000 for the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. Staff, therefore, applied for the maximum grant allocation of $5,000. Roanoke County was awarded $5,000 for FY 2003-04. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff recommends dividing the $5,000 grant evenly between the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge, the Harrison Museum of African American Culture, Mill Mountain Theatre, and the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. Combined with the County's appropriation, the following amounts would be available to the organizations referred to above: Organization Arts Council Harrison Museum Mill Mountain Theatre Roanoke Symphony ALTERNATIVES: County VCA Appropriation Grant Total $ 2,000 $1,250 $ 3,250 2, 000 1,250 3,250 5,000 1,250 6,250 6,000 1,250 7,250 15 000 5 000 20 000 There are no alternatives to this agenda item.

A Virginian who has a high school diploma earns a lot more than one who does not. A degree from a community college means more, and afour-year college degree means even more. Education literally pays, in addition to its other quality-of-life benefits. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia urges the elected members of the General Assembly to commit to work for additional state dollars to fully fund the actual costs of the Standards of Quality and the legislative guidelines for higher education funding. These actions are essential if our elementary, middle and high schools, community colleges, and four-year colleges and universities are to meet the following goals: • Smaller classes in schools and colleges where teachers and faculty can provide students the individual attention they need to learn and graduate on time; • Sufficient numbers of well-qualified teachers and faculty to give every student the opportunity to graduate from high school and to have access to higher education and opportunities for training and skill development; • Competitive salaries to attract and keep well-qualified teachers and faculty to help students learn; • Modern, safe classrooms, laboratories, technology and equipment to provide the environment in which students learn best; • Accountability and performance measurement at all levels for students, teachers, faculty, administrators and others responsible for helping students learn. 2 r AYES : Supervisors Flora, Church, Minnix, Altizer, McNamara NAYS: None A COPY TESTE: Diane S.

Supervisor McNamara stated that he would advise following the staff recommendation, attempt to negotiate cost reductions with the contractors, and use year-end funds to help meet the budget. Mr. Barrineau expressed concerns over using bonds to pay for technology purchases, which are short-term in nature. He stated that he would prefer to use year- end monies or the funds that have been set aside for 2005 school bus purchases. Mr. Canada stated that a decision should be made first regarding whether to proceed with the 4-classroom addition at Oak Grove, and then move forward with the rest of the alternatives. In response to a question from Supervisor Church, Mr. Flora advised that the anticipated amount of reductions after negotiations with contractors will be less than $100,000. Supervisor Minnix stated that in his mind, the four additional classrooms at Oak Grove are mandatory. He questioned whether all Southwest County elementary schools are at capacity. Dr. Weber replied that Cave Spring, Penn Forest, Back Creek, Oak Grove, and Green Valley are all close to capacity. Supervisor McNamara advised that he did not want to provide surplus capacity at one school when there are trailers at other schools. In addition, he advised that the handling of the technology purchase is consistent with the way technology July 7, 2003 625 million which will be reimbursed by future VPSA issues.

IN RE: REQUESTS TO POSTPONE, ADD TO, OR CHANGE THE ORDER OF AGENDA ITEMS Supervisor Minnix added a briefing, Item D-1, regarding recent storm damage and the County's policy for bulk/brush collections. July 8, 2003 62g covers the damage and they have hired contractors to clean up the damage, part of the contract should include removal of the brush. If citizens are cutting up the debris themselves, they need to ensure that it measures no more than six feet in length and six inches in diameter. Once the brush collection is scheduled through the General Services Department, staff will attempt to collect the debris as quickly as possible. If citizens wish to take the debris to the transfer station themselves, they can do this at no charge. If more than one load needs to be taken to the transfer station, citizens should contact General Services who will waive the one load per week restriction. Supervisor Minnix noted that extensive damage occurred, and he indicated that it was fortunate that no injuries or fatalities resulted. He stated that the Penn Forest area was hit especially hard, and he emphasized that if citizens hire a contractor to clean up debris that this should include removal of the debris from the site. In response to a question from Supervisor Minnix, Ms. Green indicated that Roanoke County does not own a chipper. The County uses the boom truck to transport debris to the Resource Authority where it is then ground up in a chipper. Supervisor Minnix requested that the Board appropriate emergency funds in an amount not to exceed $15,000 from the Board Contingency Fund to finance the cost of the cleanup, and asked that Ms. Green report back to the Board at the July 22 meeting regarding the progress of the cleanup and associated costs. Ms. Green requested that the Board allow staff to complete the cleanup process first and if ~uiy s, 2003 631 and when this process is completed in August, she requested that a work session be scheduled and noted that a cost analysis could be included at that time. Supervisor McNamara requested that the Clerk contact the petitioner who had submitted information to the Board regarding this issue and notify him of the date of the work session. IN RE: NEW BUSINESS 1. Request to a rove an option to purchase agreement with Western Vir inia EMS Council. Anne Marie Green, Director of General Services A-070803-1 Ms. Green reported that the Western Virginia Emergency Medical Services Council (EMS) has leased space on Poor Mountain since 1985 for a building and tower. Roanoke County leases space on the same site for a tower, which is located next to the EMS Council and some resources on the site are shared. In addition, Roanoke County stores equipment in the building. Ms. Green noted that the land on which the facilities are located is currently in condemnation proceedings, and Roanoke County anticipates purchasing this in the future. The building and the tower are not currently being used by the EMS Council, and they have offered to sell them to the County for $42,000. This is personal property and is therefore not part of the condemnation suit. This purchase will allow the County to retain control of the site as they will own both the tower and the building, and the EMS Council will retain the right July 8, 2003. 633 Alliance (RRAA). The contract was for a period of one year and in January 2003, the Board of Supervisors appropriated $12,500 to fund the County's portion of this contract. The City of Roanoke has now extended the contract for an additional six month period, and they have requested that the County participate in the funding. A grant was received from the Regional Competitiveness Fund in the amount of $7,470. Roanoke County's share of the contract is $8,193 and staff recommends that this amount be paid from the Board Contingency Fund. In response to an inquiry from Supervisor Minnix, Ms. Hyatt indicated that she has not received any information regarding an extension of the contract beyond the six month period. Supervisor Altizer questioned whether the County is brought into the process of negotiating and approving contracts of this nature. Ms. Hyatt reported that Ms. Burcham, Roanoke City Manager, and Mr. Hodge have had discussions regarding this contract. She indicated that a survey is currently being conducted to determine proposed usage and solicit pledges from businesses to support AirTran, a low-cost air carrier. Supervisor Altizer stated that if the Board is requested to fund a portion of contract expenses, they should be provided with an update prior to negotiation of the contract and should also be included in the negotiation process. Supervisor Church indicated that he has been involved in this process, and the long-range goals have been presented at leadership summit meetings. He H July 8, 2003 635 Supervisor McNamara moved to approve staff recommendation, appropriation of $8,193 from the Board contingency to be paid to the City of Roanoke for reimbursement of the County's share of the contract extension with Kaufman & Canoles Consulting. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Supervisors Flora, Church, Minnix, Altizer, McNamara NAYS: None 3. Request to appropriate funds to purchase new touch screen voting machines. Diane Henson, Re istrar A-070803-3 Ms. Henson advised that in a work session held on May 27th, a demonstration of the new touch screen voting system by Advanced called WinVote was presented to the Board. The equipment was used at the June 10th Democratic primary and the results were positive. Ms. Henson reported that election results were available within 10 minutes and she provided the results from a citizen questionnaire to the Board. She indicated that the equipment was rated favorably by individuals of all ages. Ms. Henson requested that the Board approve the purchase of 131 touch screen voting machines to replace the outdated lever machines in order to comply with the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA). This purchase will provide one machine per precinct that will contain all the necessary requirements relative to individuals with disabilities, as mandated in HAVA. Ms. Henson stated that the new equipment weighs Judy s, 2003 637 privacy and that due to the nature of the test of the equipment and the need to train voters during the primary, there may have been a feeling of having less privacy. Supervisor Altizer questioned how the grant funding is determined. Ms. Henson indicated it is a one-time reimbursement based on the number of lever machines currently in place at the County. The reimbursement will cover the cost of replacing one lever machine per precinct. Supervisor Flora questioned how many lever machines the County currently owns. Ms. Henson responded that there are 98-100 and noted that several of the machines are not in working order and replacement parts cannot be obtained. Supervisor Flora asked why there was a need to purchase 131 electronic machines to replace the 98 lever machines. Ms. Henson indicated that HAVA requires that one machine per precinct must be set aside to comply with the disability portion of the act. In the past, paper ballots were used to accommodate disabled voters. Mr. Chambliss noted that in the past, there were precincts that needed more machines than were available. Also, this is an investment in the future designed to accommodate growth in the number of voters over the next 10 years in order to maintain consistency of the equipment. The action will accomplish two things: (1) replacement of the existing equipment and (2) compliance with the disability portion of HAVA. 6 Judy s, 2003 639 Supervisor Minnix moved to approve staff recommendation, appropriation of $215,000 from HAVA grant funds and $103,800.50 from the 2002-2003 year-end surplus to complete the purchase of the voting machines.

ACTION NO. ITEM NO. ~-~ AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: July 22, 2003 Request to accept additional state revenues and appropriate to the Sheriff's Office for fiscal year 2002-2003 budget Brent Robertson Director of Management and Budget Elmer C. Hodge ~~ County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: During FY 2002-2003, as in previous years, the inmate population at the Roanoke County Jail has remained above capacity. In addition, the average daily inmate population increased from 220 to 240 through FY 2003, an increase of 9% over the prior fiscal year. The average population for the final quarter for FY 2003 was approximately 241. As a result, operational costs such as food, utilities, medical costs, etc. continue to consume a substantial portion of the Jail's budget. Due to the increased inmate population, the Sheriff is projecting expenditures related to inmate care to exceed original budget allocations by $147,000 for FY 2002-2003. For comparative purposed, the year-end adjustment approved by the Board for the prior year was $217,000. Roanoke County is reimbursed by the state for salaries, mileage, office expenses, and for housing state prisoners. The reimbursement for state responsible inmates varies between a rate of $6 and $8/day. In addition, the City of Salem reimburses the County for housing its prisoners on a per diem basis. State reimbursement for commonwealth responsible prisoners is subject to state prisoner population, general assembly appropriations, and political factors, variables difficult to consider in revenue projections. ~~ During previous fiscal years, state revenue receipts have exceeded the conservative state budget projections by an amount that would cover increased Jail expenditures caused by higher than normal inmate populations. The mid-year reductions employed by the state in the prior and current fiscal years have greatly reduced these additional funds. Based on the revenue estimates versus the projected revenues anticipated to be collected from the state and from the City of Salem for the Sheriff's Department for FY 2002-2003, revenues in excess of budget for these categories should total approximately $100,000. The remainder of the appropriation will be applied to general fund revenues that are projected to exceed original budget estimates. The FY 2003-2004 expenditure budget for the Jail has been adjusted to reflect the increased inmate population that has remained constant over the last several years; therefore, if additional appropriations are needed at the end of the current fiscal year the addition should be minimal. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends an appropriation adjustment to recognize an additional $147,000 of revenue for FY 2002-2003 for personnel and operations reimbursement and increasing the FY 2002-2003 Care and Confinement budget within the Sheriffs department by $147,000 to cover increased operational costs of the jail caused by increased inmate population, staffing requirements, and capital reimbursements.

Lavinder Chief of Police Elmer C. Hodge ~"~ County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Roanoke County Police Department conducts numerous child safety seat and DUI checkpoints per year. Child safety seat checkpoints provide an alternative to enforcement to help minimize the deadly impacts of accidents related to improperly installed child safety seats. DUI checkpoints and roving DUI patrols provide an effective tool to strictly enforce DUI and aggressive driving violations. The DMV has provided this grant to assist in paying the personnel cost of the officers working these checkpoints and roving DUI patrols. FISCAL IMPACT: DMV has provided $1,500 in grant funds with no matching funds required. The grant period runs from April 28, 2003 to September 30, 2003. ALTERNATIVES: At this time no alternative funding is available, and the funding is provided to the Police Department with no requirement of matching funds. If accepted, these funds should be appropriated to the Roanoke County Police Department's uniform personnel overtime and FICA accounts. i STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends acceptance and appropriation of the DMV grant in the amount of $1,500.

W. Brent Robertson Director of Management and Budget Elmer C. Hodge ~ fj County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Roanoke County applied for a Local Government Challenge Grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. The Commission will match up to $5,000, (if full funding is approved) any donation the County makes to qualified art organizations in the valley. In the FY 2003-04 budget, the Board of Supervisors approved an appropriation of $2,000 for the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge; $2,000 for the Harrison Museum of African American Culture; $5,000 for Mill Mountain Theatre; and $6,000 for the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. Staff, therefore, applied for the maximum grant allocation of $5,000. Roanoke County was awarded $5,000 for FY 2003-04. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff recommends dividing the $5,000 grant evenly between the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge, the Harrison Museum of African American Culture, Mill Mountain Theatre, and the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra.

Staff has consulted with representatives from Roanoke County Schools who have indicated that the standards being implemented will require additional funding, and any funding that could be made available from the state would be very beneficial in meeting these increased costs.

Do not adopt the attached resolution in support of state funding for the Standards of Quality and legislative guidelines for higher education funding. ~-~ STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative #1, adoption of the attached resolution in support of state funding for the Standards of Quality and legislative guidelines for higher education funding. AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, JULY 22, 2003 RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF VIRGINIA'S STUDENTS REQUESTING THAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY COMMIT TO WORK FOR STATE FUNDING OF THE STANDARDS OF QUALITY AND THE LEGISLATIVE GUIDELINES FOR HIGHER EDUCATION FUNDING WHEREAS, many students in Virginia's public schools are at-risk of not learning what is required to earn a high school diploma, enroll in a college or university or enter the job market, and even the successful students who graduate are affected by schools struggling to provide the level of educational quality they need and deserve; and WHEREAS, teachers often find they do not have the tools or training necessary to teach the subjects mandated for achievement of state standards and teachers' salaries and the uncertain state support of salaries do not provide the kind of incentives that attract and keep the most talented professionals; and WHEREAS, state funding for public education does not reflect the true cost of constructing, staffing, equipping, operating and maintaining schools that perform at the level needed to support the foundation for standards of quality and learning, and the costs of educating at-risk students create additional fiscal pressures on many school systems; and WHEREAS, not only are students being left behind, taxpayers are seeing the increasing burden of higher local real estate tax rates as local governments try to pay both their share and the state's share of education costs and, when Virginia's students plan for higher education, they face additional challenges because legislative reports also have verified that appropriate levels of funding have not been achieved for higher education, and one of the worst results of reduced funding for college students is that so many qualified Virginia students are denied admission because the faculty, buildings, and equipment are simply not there to accommodate them; and WHEREAS, the effects of being left behind without a high school diploma or a college degree, especially for an at-risk student, are compelling. A Virginian who has a high school diploma earns a lot more than one who does not. A degree from a community college means more, and afour-year college degree means even more. Education literally pays, in addition to its other quality-of-life benefits. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia urges the elected members of the General Assembly to commit to work for additional state dollars to fully fund the actual costs of the Standards of Quality and the legislative guidelines for higher education funding. These actions are essential if our elementary, middle and high schools, community colleges, and four-year colleges and universities are to meet the following goals: • Smaller classes in schools and colleges where teachers and faculty can provide students the individual attention they need to learn and graduate on time; • Sufficient numbers of well-qualified teachers and faculty to give every student the opportunity to graduate from high school and to have access to higher education and opportunities for training and skill development; • Competitive salaries to attract and keep well-qualified teachers and faculty to help students learn; • Modern, safe classrooms, laboratories, technology and equipment to provide the environment in which students learn best; • Accountability and performance measurement at all levels for students, teachers, faculty, administrators and others responsible for helping students learn.

Parrish to obtain a Special Use Permit to construct an accessory apartment on .5 acres, zoned R-1 Low Density Residential District located at 3210 Lawndale Road, Windsor Hills Magisterial District. B. CITIZEN COMMENTS Ms. Heather Prokopchak, 5340 Cave Spring Lane, spoke in support of the request noting that no vehicles are on site presently, that any renters would not add more than two vehicles, and that the proposal would allow for added income and possibly assistance in the home for the petitioners. Mr. Wilson Hoffman, 5413 Canter Drive, stated that he had no objection with the request considering the county's standards in place. C. SUMMARY OF COMMISSION DISCUSSION Mr. Tim Beard presented the staff report. Mrs. Parrish began by saying that she and Mr. Parrish need to be able to lease an accessory apartment in order to supplement their Social Security Disability and trust funds. Mr. Witt asked if future tenants would use the existing basement side door or the front door to the house. Mrs. Parrish replied that the side door would be the main, private entrance for tenants and if required by the county -the front door also. Ms. Hooker asked if a time limit could be attached to the permit. Ms. Scheid replied that a limit could be imposed. Mrs. Hooker asked if other commissioners supported any time limit condition. Mr. Ross stated that he believed the standard requiring the owner(s) to live on the premises would help ensure that the building would not have a "duplex appearance." Mr. Ross had also asked if the total floor area of the accessory apartment should be reduced slightly so as to not exceed 50 percent of the finished floor area of the principal dwelling. Mr. Beard replied that the proposed apartment area could be reduced approximately 150 square feet to meet one-half of the existing finished floor area of the house. Mr. Witt noted that the driveway should not be extended or enlarged. D. CONDITIONS 1. All parking shall be restricted to the existing driveway. E. COMMISSION ACTION(S) Mr. Ross made a motion to make a favorable recommendation for the special use permit request. Motion carried 4-0. F. DISSENTING PERSPECTIVE None. G.

Parrish Request: Special Use Permit for Accessory Apartment Location: 3210 Lawndale Road Magisterial District: Windsor Hills EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This application seeks a Special Use Permit to construct an 800 - 900 square foot accessory apartment within the basement footprint of the petitioners' home - an approximate 2,600 square-foot modular dwelling. The subject property consists of 22,000 square feet and is zoned R-1 Low Density Residential. The probable layout of the apartment would contain two bedrooms, one bathroom and a kitchen accommodating a maximum of two adults and one child. The site is designated Neighborhood Conservation by the 1998 Community Plan. The proposal conforms with zoning ordinance standards at an acceptable residential density (four units/acre). 1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS The ordinance defines accessory apartment as a second dwelling unit within a detached single family dwelling which is clearly incidental and subordinate to the main dwelling. In the R-1 district, a Special Use Permit from the Board of Supervisors must be granted prior to the construction of an accessory apartment. General standards include the following: 1. An accessory apartment shall only be considered as an accessory use to a detached single-family residence and no accessory apartment shall be located in any structure other than the principal structure on the lot. 2. Maximum floor area: upon completion of construction the apartment shall not contain more than 50 percent of the finished floor area of the principal dwelling located on the same lot, but in no case shall the accessory apartment exceed 1,000 square feet. 3. Only one accessory apartment shall be allowed on any one lot or parcel, and the property owner shall reside on the premises. 4. Exterior entrances to the apartment shall be located so as to appear as a single family dwelling. 5. Minimum floor area of the apartment shall not be less than 300 square feet. 6. One parking space shall be required in addition to required parking for the principal dwelling. 7. Health Department approval of sewage disposal shall be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit for an accessory apartment. ~°" 2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Background -The petitioner's one-story modular ranch was constructed in 1999. The subject house stands in the center of a 295-foot deep lot. The property dips slightly from Lawndale Road and is entirely grass-covered other than the homesite and 150-foot driveway. Residents of the proposed apartment would access the basement through an existing door on the north side of the house. The zoning ordinance (Section 30-82-1(A)) describes the intent of accessory apartments as "affording an opportunity for the development of small rental units designed to meet the special housing needs of persons with fixed or limited income, and relatives of families who live or desire to live in the county. Such apartments provide a degree of flexibility for homeowners with changing economic conditions and/or family structure, while providing a reasonable degree of protection for existing property values." Surrounding Neighborhood -The immediate vicinity is characterized by a variety of home sizes on lots ranging from less than 8,000 square feet to approximately 30,000 square feet. Most houses in the Lawndale Road area were built 40 - 50 years ago. 3. CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMMUNITY PLAN The subject parcel and all surrounding tracts are designated Neighborhood Conservation by the 1998 Community Plan. Accessory apartments are not specifically addressed. However, the Future Land Use Guide advocates preserving the stability of residential neighborhoods by discouraging the intrusion of incompatible uses and, recognizes that in order to discourage sprawl, some reasonable increase in housing density may be necessary as infill development occurs. Further, the Community Plan encourages the maintenance and enhancement of older neighborhoods, recognizing that these homes provide a viable source of affordable housing to the community. 4. STAFF CONCLUSIONS The petitioners' request complies with all use and design standards required by the zoning ordinance. It is staff s opinion that this proposed use, because of its scale, design and location, will be compatible with existing and future uses in the Lawndale Road area. As such, the accessory apartment use must pose minimum adverse impact to the immediate area considering such items as traffic congestion, noise, lights, dust, odor, fumes, vibrations, drainage, water quality and air quality. In consideration of, and in order to mitigate adverse impact, staff has reviewed the proposal (per Section 30-19- 1(B)1 and 2) and anticipates no negative impacts on the neighborhood. If recommended for approval, staff suggests limiting the accessory apartment's location to the basement of the principal structure.

Enrollment shall be limited to 30 students, unless a lower maximum Conditions: number is established by the Virginia Department of Social Services. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Roanoke Valley Montessori School wishes to relocate to an existing 1,550 square foot church building at 3432 Poff Lane. The school serves 25 students, ages three through six. The site is zoned R2, Medium Density Residential District, and located in the Cave Spring Magisterial District. The property and surrounding area are designated Neighborhood Conservation in the1998 Roanoke County Community Plan. The proposed change in use from a church to a school conforms with the Community Plan. As long as the school maintains a small enrollment, no negative impacts are anticipated. If the Planning Commission wishes to place a limit on the school enrollment, then the above-mentioned condition is suggested. . APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Primary Education Facilities are allowed by special use permit in the R2 zoning district. 2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Background -The existing church building was constructed in the mid-1970s. It is approximately 1,550 square feet, and contains one large sanctuary room, and several small classrooms and offices. It was last used by Calvary Chapel in 2002. TopoQraphy/Ve~etation - A paved driveway slopes up to the east from Poff Lane to a gravel parking lot at the top of a hill. A 200-foot-wide American Electric Power transmission line easement crosses the driveway. Other than the developed area and transmission line easement, most of the property remains wooded. Surrounding Nei borhood -Adjoining property to the south and west is zoned R2, Medium Density Residential district, and contains single family homes on one to three acre tracts. Stonehenge Condominiums adjoins to the north, and is zoned Planned Residential District. Adjoining property to the east is zoned Il, Conditional, and contains amini-warehouse development. 3. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Site Layout/Architecture -The Roanoke Valley Montessori School is currently located at 4523 Brambleton Avenue. The school has an enrollment of 25 preschool students ages 3 through 6. The petitioners have stated that they wish to relocate from their current facility of approximately ' 1,000 square feet in order to provide more space for-their existing enrollment, rather than expand enrollment. The Virginia Department of Social Services regulates the size of the school's classrooms, based on square footage of the facility. The petitioners anticipate a new enrollment limit of approximately 30 students for the proposed new location. The petitioners have stated that if the Planning Commission wishes to place a limit on the number of students at the proposed location, that 30 would be an adequate number. Access/Traffic Circulation -Access would be via Poff Lane. Virginia Department of Transportation staff has commented that the existing entrance is adequate for the proposed use. The existing driveway and parking area is sufficient to handle the proposed use and enrollment levels. However, a significant increase in enrollment could result in traffic impacts to Poff Lane. Fire & Rescue/LTtilities -Fire and rescue service will continue as currently provided. The building is served by a private well and septic system. A six-inch public water line runs near the southeastern property line. The nearest public sanitary sewer is either in Stonehenge Condominiums to the north, or in Meadowlark Road, to the south. Connections to public water and sanitary sewer services would require easements across adjoining properties. 4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMMUNITY PLAN The property is designated Neighborhood Conservation in the 1998 Roanoke County Community Plan. Areas designated Neighborhood Conservation are where established single family neighborhoods are delineated and the conservation of the existing development pattern is encouraged. Neighborhood institutional centers, such as schools, are encouraged land use types. The proposed change in use from a church to a school conforms with the 199$ Community Plan. STAFF CONCLUSIONS The existing building and parking lot are sufficient to serve the proposed use. The petitioner does not anticipate much, if any, additional enrollment beyond the current number of students. As long as the school maintains a small enrollment, no negative impacts are anticipated. If the Planning Commission wishes to place a limit on the school enrollment, then the following condition is suggested: 1) Enrollment shall be limited to 30 students, unless a lower maximum number is established by the Virginia Department of Social Services.

There is only on neighbor to the property and you can't see the house through the trees. We were also planning on planting a row of evergreen trees on 10 ft centers just for our own privacy, but also to give the neighboring house privacy. The street is a dead end after the driveway. It is accessible enough for any rescue vehicles. It is on a septic system. But if needed we would change over to county sewer systems.. ~t ~ ROANOKE VALLEY MONTESSORI SCHOOL 4523 Brambleton Avenue, SW Roanoke, Virginia 24018 (540) 989-3096 The preschool would conform to the guidelines you have set forth because we would have less people coming to and going than the last users of the property. The property backs up to Stonehenge Apartments, but you can really not see them through the woods. We would not have a constant flow of traffic. We have children that show up between 7:45 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. the children are picked up between 12:00 p.m. and. 5:30 p.m.. The parents are really nice and respected people of the community. Some of our parents have seen the property and they love it. The property is kind of a center point with all the other schools in the area. Most of the parents have older children that go North Cross, Cave Spring Elem., and Penn Forest Elem. It would be convenient to a lot of our parents. The street up to the property is a public access road that dead ends after the turn in to the property, so no one drives past the property for any reason. y 5 "` .~ ROANOKE VALLEY MONTESSORI SCHOOL 4523 Brambleton Avenue, SW Roanoke, Virginia 24018 (540} 989-3096 I am requesting a special use permit for 3432 Poff Ln. The property is zoned R-2 and in the Roanoke County Community Plan Land Use guide, labels the property as Neighborhood Conservation. I would like to use the property as a Montessori Preschool. (I have enclosed a packet that we would give inquiring parents so that you could get a "feel" for what a Montessori preschool is). The property is perfect for our preschool. It has a building that the interior of would be perfect for the sort of classroom that the Montessori method suggest. The outside of the property is on 4.67 acres and is totally surrounded by trees and a forest. In the Land Use Guide under neighborhood conservation it mentions institutional centers which says schools.

ITEM NO. ~ - ( p AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: July 22, 2003 AGENDA ITEM: Second reading of an ordinance authorizing the conveyance of the Suncrest Heights Subdivision water and sewer systems and appropriation of funding from water and sewer surplus funds SUBMITTED BY: Gary Robertson, P.E. Utility Director APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge ~%~""~ ~~~~ County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Suncrest Water Company, owner/operator of the water system and sewage collection and treatment systems that serve the Suncrest Heights subdivision has approached Utility Department staff several times in the last 10 years regarding conveyance of ownership of the subject utilities to Roanoke County. Suncrest Heights is located at the southern end of the Clearbrook community on U. S. Route 220. Attached are copies of letters dated October 11, 1996, June 10, 1999, and February 6, 2003, from Suncrest Water Company representatives requesting that Roanoke County assume ownership and operation of the water and sewer facilities. This conveyance would include the water distribution system, well supply, sewage collection system, wastewater treatment plant, all water and sewer easements and associated real estate. The system currently serves 26 residential properties with 17 additional vacant lots available for sale as shown on the attached map. A community meeting was held on Thursday, March 27, 2003, at Clearbrook Elementary School to discuss the alternatives available to the residents of Suncrest Heights for the continuation of reliable water and sewer service. i A Fifteen (15) property owners attended the meeting. Following the meeting, letters were mailed to 27 Suncrest Heights homeowners, which transmitted a property owner agreement concerning payment of applicable water and sewer capital improvement fees and assumption of ownership and operation of the Suncrest Heights water and sewer systems by Roanoke County. To date, 24 property owners have signed or verbally agreed to the agreement. The first reading of this ordinance was held on June 24, 2003. Staff has evaluated the water distribution, sewage collection and wastewater treatment systems and has determined that work will be required in the future to bring the infrastructure up to Roanoke County, state and federal standards. It is estimated that approximately $200,000 would be required to accomplish the short term improvements to the water and sewer systems. Staff has contacted the Western Regional Office of the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) who has indicated that upgrades of the wastewater treatment plant will be required in the near future in order to meet more stringent state and federal discharge requirements. It is the Utility Department's intention to install a sewage pumping station and force main to transport wastewater to the regional treatment facility. A draft consent order has been received from DEQ, which contains a proposed schedule for constructing the sewage pump station and force main and abandoning the existing wastewater treatment plant . Although some of the water lines are dated and not sized for fire protection, it is staff's opinion that the distribution system can be adequately maintained. Our intention would be to interconnect the water system to the County system within a reasonable period of time. The attached ordinance establishes a special water and sewer service area for the Suncrest Heights subdivision with each participating property owner paying their share of the cost through special water and sewer capital improvement fees. These fees are $2,600 and $3,900, respectively, for a total of $6,500.00 per customer to help defray the cost of anticipated water and sewer infrastructure improvements. The ordinance also establishes a method of financing the $6,500 capital improvement fee for property owners for a period of ten (10) years at an interest rate of 5% per annum. Participants who choose financing must agree to execute a promissory note and a lien document to secure the installment debt. At least three property owners presently have their residences on the market. They have requested that payment of the $6,500 capital improvement fee be deferred until sale of the property. Staff has requested and they have agreed that a lien of $6,500 shall be assigned against their property. ALTERNATIVES: Alternative 1: Establish a special water and sewer service area for the Suncrest Heights subdivision, which could potentially serve 43 properties, as indicated on the attached sketch. Approve construction of a sewage pump station and sewer force main, as well as, water distribution system improvements. Monies appropriated from the water and sewer surplus accounts would be used to construct water and sewer infrastructure improvements estimated to cost $200,000. Alternative 2: Do not approve acquisition of the water and sewer facilities, which serve Suncrest Heights, from the Suncrest Water Company. FISCAL IMPACT: If Alternative 1 is selected, the total construction cost for water and sewer infrastructure improvements would be $200,000, which would be financed from monies appropriated from water and sewer surplus funds. Water and sewer capital improvement fees of $6,500 collected from each property would be used to reimburse the water and sewer unappropriated fund balance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Alternative 1 be approved and that the Board of Supervisors adopt the attached ordinance and authorize staff to proceed with acquisition of the Suncrest Heights water and sewer infrastructure with the following conditions: • Said ordinance shall approve appropriation of $200,000 from water and sewer surplus accounts. • Property owners with developed lots shall have the following payment options: a. Payment of entire $6,500 water and sewer capital improvement fee within 30 days of adoption of this ordinance. b. Upon execution of a connection contract by property owner, Roanoke County shall finance the $6,500 capital improvement fee in 120 equal monthly installments at an interest rate of 5% per annum. Property owners shall agree to execute a promissory note and lien document to secure this installment debt. c. Any owner of improved real estate within this special utility service district, who does not elect by agreement to participate by paying the cost of extending or improving the public utility system to their property as provided in paragraph a. or b. above, the cost of such improvements in the amount of $6,500 shall be assessed, imposed, and apportioned as provided in Article 2, Chapter 24, Title 15.2. This assessment against each property shall be reported to the Treasurer of Roanoke County, who shall enter the assessment as provided for other real estate taxes. 3 °"" ~~ • Payment of the assessment as provided in paragraph c. above or the payment of the fee as provided in paragraphs a. and b. may be postponed for elderly or permanently and totally disabled property owners until the sale of the property or the death of the last eligible owner. In either event the entire amount of the assessment or fee shall be paid no later than ten years from the creation of the Suncrest Heights Water and Sewer Service District. If, and when, vacant lots are developed, a water and sewer capital improvement fee of $8,125 would be paid without County financing. The $8,125 fee shall incorporate the $6,500 fee for all water/sewer capital improvement and off-site fees plus 25%. -640 ;#~'~ x,,,1.1,-," ~,,r~.t~~r--.~. ~ ~liii I ~.t PHONE AREA CODE X203}-774,4441 ~' ~ ~ L 1 f ~ ~` ~~ _ ~~ ;~. ~ { s ; ~~ _ ~ ~' FAX AREA CODE (703) 774-4443 l ~ OAT 95 10 00 JOHN 1~..

At this time, we have come to an agreement with the County for thorn to take over the systems. Tlrrough our discussions with the County, we understand that they will require a $6,500 connection fee per customer. This amount can be assessed over a 10-year period, which will result in an assessment of approximately $55.00 dollars per month nn the County's monthly utility bill. We believe that this transfer will greatly benefit the Suncrest Heights customers and avoid the necessary rate increases this Company would require to operate in accordance with State and Federal Regulatory guidelines.

These discussions are consistent with the message that the VACo membership began to spread last November. To that end, your Board of Supervisors may wish to adopt a resolution similar to the one attached to reaffirm its concerns. You may also want to urge your legislators to make such a commitment. Please forward your resolutions to my attention. - -- Page 1 CC: <mamyx@vml.org>, <medwards@vml.org>, <don@vbhec.org>, <fornash@vt.edu> a ti A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF VIRGINIA'S STUDENTS Whereas, many students in Virginia's public schools are at-risk of not learning what is required to earn a high school diploma, enroll in a college or university or enter the job market, and even the successful students who graduate are affected by schools struggling to provide the level of educational quality they need and deserve; and, whereas, teachers often find they do not have the tools or training necessary to teach the subjects mandated for achievement of state standards and teachers' salaries and the uncertain state support of salaries do not provide the kind of incentives that attract and keep the most talented professionals, and, Whereas, state funding for public education does not reflect the true cost of constructing, staffing, equipping, operating and maintaining schools that perform at the level needed to support the foundation for standards of quality and learning, and the costs of educating at-risk students create additional fiscal pressures on many school systems, and, whereas, not only are students being left behind, taxpayers are seeing the increasing burden of higher local real estate tax rates as local governments try to pay both their share and the state's share of education costs, and, when Virginia's students plan for higher education, they face additional challenges because legislative reports also have verified that appropriate levels of funding have not been achieved for higher education, and one of the worst results of reduced funding for college students is that so many qualified Virginia students are denied admission because the faculty, buildings, and equipment are simply not there to accommodate them, and; Whereas, the effects of being left behind without a high school diploma or a college degree, especially for an at-risk student, are compelling. A Virginian who has a high school diploma earns a lot more than one who does not. A degree from a community college means more, and afour-year college degree means even more. Education literally pays, in addition to its other quality-of--life benefits. 2 Therefore be it resolved that, the County of urges the elected members of the General Assembly to commit to work for additional state dollars to fully fund the actual costs of the Standards of Quality and the legislative guidelines for higher education funding. These actions are essential if our elementary, middle and high schools, community colleges and four-year colleges and universities are to meet the following goals: • Smaller classes in schools and colleges where teachers and faculty can provide students the individual attention they need to learn and graduate on time; • Sufficient numbers ofwell-qualified teachers and faculty to give every student the opportunity to graduate from high school and to have access to higher education and opportunities for training and skill development; • Competitive salaries to attract and keep well-qualified teachers and faculty to help students learn; • Modern, safe classrooms, laboratories, technology and equipment to provide the environment in which students learn best; • Accountability and performance measurement at all levels for students, teachers, faculty, administrators and others responsible for helping students learn.

Notional PTA has certified CSHS us a Parent Involvement SchooE of Excellence. Cave Spring High School is one of fourteen (14) high schools in the United States to win this National PTA designation. National PTA's Parent Involvement Schools of E~cellencc certification program recognizes schools that uphold the highest standards in parent involvement and that help meet parent involvement provisions in the 2001 Elementary and Secondary I;ducativn Act, reauthorized as the No Child 'Left Behind Act. The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, National Association of Elementary School Principals, National Association of Secondary School Principals, National Education Association, and National School Public Relations Association joined National PTA in the development and implementation of the certification program. Cave Spring has worked diligently to implement new programs and improve existing ones at the high school this year. Anew parcntJstudent advisory committee was formed for the school guidance department. Aone-day registration with teachers, advisors, parents and students meeting together. was held for the {first time on February 5, 2003. The school's volunteer manual was updated and a new parent survey was distributed with parents anonymously grading the school on parent participation. The community of Cave Spring was highlighted for their. participation in the school's annual Health Fair, AfterProm Party, award winning Rcd Ribbon Week and other activities. Students at the school Are encouraged to give back to the community by signing up for volunteer work at the Student Volunteer Fair in the fall and are recognized in the spring for their service hours at an award ceremony. The athletic boosters club, the band boosters club and the PTSA have formed a strong alliance to work together for the common goal of helping students succeed. According to the National PTA, there are 4.7 million PTA members at the elementary school level, 1.25 members at the middle school level, and only 248,000 members on the high school level. Cave Spring High School consistently enrolls PISA members in excess of 100% of their student population. Fifty parents serve on the FTSA board alone, with many other volunteers supporting projects both during and after school. As part of the certification process, CS~IS formed a team consisting of principals, teachers, parents, students and representatives from the community to complete a self-assessment based on six key standards that are provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act. These standards were communication between the home and school, support of parenting skills, parents as an integral player in student learning, participation of parents as school volunteers, parent involvement in school decision making and advocacy, and collaboration with the community. After the team evaluated the school, supporting documents were sent to the National PTA office in Chicago, Illinois for review on February 1., 2003. The winning schools were announced at the end of. April, 2003. The National FTA motto that good schools arc made and not born is certainly true at Cave Spring High School. "Every child deserves to attend a school of excellence," said National PTA President Shirley Igo. "The certification program is an unprecedented opportunity for all schools to achieve excellence and be recognized for their dedication to parent involvement." __ a e Diane'Childers - Re: June 10 agenda for Betsy Graves 9 __ _ - - --- From: Brenda Holton To: Brenda Chastain Date: 6/5/03 10:23AM Subject: Re: June 10 agenda for Betsy Graves Brenda, thanks!!!

"Coach [Dickie] Myers coached wrestling and cross country when I was at Glenvar and he made me do both, so I made [Barker] do it," Soltis said. "In his first year, David finishes seventh in the state. Then in ,,f ~ ~ here wrestling, we've got these 7 a.m. runs. Well, those 7 a.m. runs and Jeb Carriers Wright, who was David's training partner, are what made this happen." wanterlt With Brentsville District roaring to its second straight and fourth team title in five years, the eight Timesland competitors who advanced to the finals were basically flying solo. The only two to get it done came from opposite ends of the spectrum. Parry McCluer's Jonathan Woods captured the 103-pound title, and Northwood's Joel Surber came from behind to nip James River's Bobby Hoffert in the 275-pound division. In a rare final involving two wrestlers from the same district, Woods outlasted Covington's Steven Harris 5-4. Woods had lost his first two matches this season to Harris, but rebounded to beat his league rival in the two big ones -the region and state. "I got him the right two times," said Woods, a sophomore who has been wrestling for only two years. "It feels good to win it. I didn't expect it. I didn't even go to state last year, I was like fifth in the region. I'm going to take this [plaque] and put it on my wall. And I can try for two more since I've got two years left." Harris, who finished 38-4 compared with 29-10 for Woods, said the long ceremony introducing the finalists and all the hoopla of the event affected him. "I think all the hype got me," said Harris, a junior. "I don't do well with that. l started cramping up a little and made mistakes I normally don't make." Woods' triumph eased some of the pain in the Parry McCluer camp. The Fighting Blues saw the unbeaten season of star Boone Brockenbrough go up in smoke in a 10-21oss to freshman Todd Smoot of Manassas Park. Brockenbrough, who lost in the final on a controversial officiating call last year, threw Smoot and had him almost on his back in the match's waning seconds. Brockenbrough, though, couldn't get both of Smoot's shoulders simultaneously to the mat. "I waited too long to make my move," said a downcast Brockenbrough. "Why? I don't know why. If I would have had five more seconds, I know I could have pinned him." http://www.roanoke. com/roatimes/news/story 146246.htm1 4/2/2003 Diane Childers -Christopher Hanes legal ad Page 1 From: Diane Childers To: legals@roanoke.com Subject: Christopher Hanes legal ad Martha, As we discussed this morning, we will need to withdraw the legal ad for Christopher Hanes' SUP request due to his untimely death.

To clear this up 1 would like to explain why. We have three extremely small inside dogs and two boxers who stay outside during the day and are brought in and crated no late than 10:00 p.m. Haley and Brandon, my two children are very attached to all of our pets and want to keep them. 1 was unaware of the limitation of dogs in Roanoke County and in order to meet the mandatory requirements, 1 need to get a Special Use Permit. This enables me to have no m~w~ than five dogs. 1 need you to understand that 1 am onl y trying to keep my children's family pets. NOT start a kennel. Hopefully this has cleared up any 4onfuslon that has been sta~~~ and you will allow my children to keep their well loved pets. /1~.n~ \S~~ ~ ~~ ~ ~~~~ ~W~ ,, r i ~, , ~~~, I I~a~ ~'~--t~n, `~s.~~ ~~ ~~ /'~~ ~~ ~;~ ~/~ ~ ~ . ,~- .~~ ©~ ~ ~ ~s ~ ,~~~ ~~ ~~~ r-~ ~ n~. g q0 ~ -G~~--__ /~Z ~ nv~,~7A~y /~~Gd~s ~ G9h^^`~~°'' nai o ~~ ~~ ,z ~.~~ 13 o ~ ~G~ ~- 2~b i AGENDA ITEM NO.

Mahoney Date: July 21, 2003 Subject: Board of Equalization The 2003 Session of the Virginia General Assembly adopted legislation introduced by Delegate Morgan Griffith to substantially change the qualifications, appointment, and terms of individuals to local boards of equalization. These boards are created to hear citizen complaints and to equalize local real estate tax assessments. This legislation will have a significant impact on Roanoke County. since on its effective date of January 1, 2004, it will force Roanoke County to appoint two new members to this Board. The first significant change restricts a person's membership on a board of equalization to no more than nine consecutive years, and upon the expiration of nine consecutive years, that person shall not be eligible for reappointment to the board for a period of three years. Galen Conner (Vinton) has served on Roanoke County's Board of Equalization since 1988. B. J. Brewer (Cave Spring) has served on Roanoke County's Board of Equalization since 1992. Neither one of these individuals will be eligible for reappointment in January 2004. J. C. Taylor (Catawba) has served since 1996, and Andy Clingenpeel (Hollins) and Wanda Manuel (Windsor Hills) have served since 1999. The next significant change required by this legislation is the new qualification requirements. Thirty percent of the members of the board shall be commercial or residential real estate appraisers, other real estate professionals, builders, developers, or legal or financial professionals, and at least one such member shall sit in alI cases involving commercial, industrial or multi-family residential property unless waived by the taxpayer. r :7 The next change requires that once in every four years each member of the board of equalization shall take a continuing education course provided by the State Tax Commissioner. In the past in order to be eligible for appointment to the board a prospective member had to take a course of instruction for board of equalization members by the State Tax Commissioner. The old course of instruction was typically completed in one-half of a day. This new legislation will require the Tax Commissioner to up-date the basic course of instruction to incorporate the provisions of the new legislation including but not limited to what constitutes evidence of generally accepted appraisal practice and fair market value. At this time the State Tax Commissioner's office is unable to advise us as to an anticipated time commitment by a member for this continuing education instruction. As you are aware the judges of the Circuit Court appoint the members of the board of equalization. Since the late 1980s the judges have welcomed recommendations from the members of the Board of Supervisors of individuals for possible appointment. Since this legislation mandates the removal of two existing members and imposes new requirements for qualifications for new members, we want to inform the members of the Board of Supervisors of these changes so that the Board can begin considering at an early date replacements for Mr. Conner and Mrs. Brewer. Any new recommended appointees should also be considered in light of the new qualification standards (30% of the members of the Board shall be commercial or residential real estate appraisers, other real estate professionals, builders, developers or legal or financial professionals). Either Mr. Driver or I will be pleased to answer any questions you may have concerning this legislation and its effects on Roanoke County. C: Elmer C. Hodge GREAT BAND (Kan.) TRIBUNE -THURSDAY.

Simms <dmsports~d~dailvmail.com> Daily Mail sportswriter Tuesday July 15, 2003; 10:02 AM They have heard the refrain "run Forrest, run" so often from passers-by that it has become forever etched in their memories. For Laurence Loesel, Ben Dowdy and Will Stuart, though, their cross-country trek is far from being a case of simply feeling like running. They had a very specific purpose in mind when beginning their 2,800-mile run back on May S near Sacramento, Calif. Loesel, Dowdy and Stuart are hoping to raise $1.5 million in donations to renovate the track and athletic facilities at Cave Spring High School in Roanoke, Va., where their journey ends Friday. "It's a 50-year-old school," Dowdy said "It's in pretty rough shape." Adding to the school's woes is the recent completion of a nearby $30 million high school that cut Cave Spring's 1,800 enrollment nearly in half and drained the county coffers of funds. Monday, the trio parked its motor home at the University of Charleston after spending the day running along Route 62 from the Ohio border at Point Pleasant. Loesel, an assistant cross country coach at Cave Spring, organized the creative fundraising approach. "This originated when Will and I were sitting in Roanoke College and trying to come up with ideas for raising money to open a running store, Loesel said. A 1998 Cave Spring graduate, he connected with Stuart in college after attending high school with Dowdy. "Somebody said `Why not run for it?' "Loesel said. "Then we found out there was a running store coming in already so that kind of bummed us out." But the seed of the idea to run across the nation had been planted and he just had to find another reason. There was already a massive fundraising effort to renovate much of Cave Spring called Project 50, aimed at being completed by Cave Spring's 50th anniversary in 2006. Loesel decided the run could fit nicely into it. "Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. I did a two-hour powerpoint presentation to the boosters club," he said. "Six months later here we are." They seta 75-day time limit on their journey and began with no commitment for donations, but a lot of confidence. "This is more of an awareness-type activity," Loesel said. "We've had a lot of national exposure and are just getting the word out." They pass out their Web site address along the way and anyone wishing to donate can do it there. It is called Knights Crossing and is located at www.cavespringknightscrossing.com on the Internet. Money raised will help pay for turning the existing six-lane asphalt track into an eight- lane synthetic oval and the dirt infield into either grass or artificial turf. Anew fieldhouse with an auxiliary gymnasium and additional athletic offices is also part of the plan. "We've raised about $40,000 so far which may seem way off our target," Loesel said. "But we expect most of it to come at the end. We're pretty confident." That's because the Knights boast alumni like pro football-playing twins Rondi and Tiki Barber as well as a few former pro baseball players who are expected to come through with donations once the trio actually finishes its trip. "We never doubted we could make it, Loesel, 23, said. Dowdy is 24 and Stuart 22. All were successful high school and college runners with Dowdy running for Virginia Tech. "Getting through the Rockies was a really big thing," Stuart said. "Once we got to the top it's all downhill." The three take turns running pretty much whatever distance they feel comfortable with while the others either bike along beside them or drive the motor home. "We try to run about 15 miles each per day," Stuart said. Something many others did not think they could do. "I think the community doubted us the most," Stuart said. "Now they're all behind us," Dowdy added. ~~ Today, they will be heading south on Route 60. The past couple of weeks we ve been on winding roads with a lot of trucks going by," Dowdy said. "And the shoulder has gotten a lot more arrow." They are now looking forward to a hero's welcome back home. "The sheriff of Roanoke County is actually escorting us himself from the county line," Loesel said. "That last mile or two we're inviting anyone who wants to come out and run with us to come out," Dowdy said. "We're hoping for 100 or more. Maybe it'll look like Forrest Gump." If the trio manages to accomplish what it hopes, "Rocky" comparisons might be a better fit. .~ t, U ~~ '~f 1 ~i +1,~ ~ ~ ~.. $~t ,~ ~~:. ~1 e c~ v: a~ C C ~ i ~ ~ "' 'is ''_ ~ x` . a `} - ~- ~ _~ a.._~ - ".

Each was a competitive runner- in college -Loesel and Stuart at Roanoke College in Virginia, Dowdy at Virginia Tech.. But this summer they are literally running across the country, from Sacramento, Calif., to Roanoke - a total of about 2,800 miles. The trek is being made in an effort to raise money for Cave Spring High School, where Loesel and Dowdy graduated and now coach. The school's booster club is embarking on an effort to raise 1.5 million by November of 2004 for new and improved athletic facility projects. The threesome is running relay-style, with each logging about 15 miles a day. Last week they stopped in Gunnison (Dowdy was on a temporary leave of absence). "There's a story that comes out of every day," Loesel said. While in town they hung out with Western State College runners and visited Crested Butte with WSC skipper Duane Vandenbusche.

Loesel and Dowdy are both Cave Spring alumni and Maguire is a coach at the school. Stuart was a track teammate of Loesel at college and was invited by Loesel to join them on the run. j s t' t e x t Nathan WebedDaify Globe Ben Dowdy (left}, Tommy Maguire, Will Stuart and Laurence Loesel stop in Dodge City to rest before continuing on their run across America. The group is running to raise money for a new track at Cave Spring High school in Roanoke, Virginia. They said Cave Spring needs a new field house and rubber track, costing $1.5 million. To help raise the money, the four men are spreading the word through the media as they stop off in towns along their journey. The four officially started May 14 in Placeville, Calif., and have already ran 1,100 miles in 43 days. They still have 1,900 miles to go before they reach their destination in Roanoke, Va. The plan is for each man to run about 15 miles a day while the others ride behind in a camper, where they sleep and store all their equipment for the journey. Stuart and Loesel are the only two out of the four who are running the entire 3,000 miles. Maguire joined Stuart and Loesel in Colorado Springs because he had to finish the school year coaching and teaching at Cave Spring. Dowdy missed 12 days of running through the Rockies for a job interview. They said the hardest part of the trek so far has been the desert. ~[ f'} t n ~ ~# Ci u ~ .i .s ...::r USD 374 Sublett Southwest Plains There are more Jobs! » View all To~A~ » Submit a ToQF Tai ,~ucf- Advertise your ai HERE!

"It was intensely boring with absolutely nothing out there. It was realty cold at night but in the day the sun was very intense. But it's been worth it." "It's a big country out here. The best part was running in California on Route 1, and driving and meeting all the people along the way," Stuart said. Loesel said the four had come to a consensus that they really have enjoyed Dodge City. "We really like Dodge City, we were excepted and it's been the highlight of the trip so far," he said. .." -,- ~: _ .. _.. ~°; ~ Printer-friendly version Discuss this story I E-mail the editor ]une 2003 This month's stories -like all other stories -can be found by doing asite-wide search, or they can be found by clicking on the day the story appeared.

"Highway 50 there is called 'America's loneliest road.' You can run for hours and not even see another car," Stuart said. Each day, each runner covers 15 miles, for a daily total of about 45 miles. Working in shifts, one runner covers the ground on foot while the other two take turns riding beside him on a bike, or driving a rented 24-foot RV they call home. "The most physically draining part is behind us," Dowdy said, referring in particular to Monarch Pass through the Rockies where the runners found themselves running up steep mountain inclines. "The next part will be mentally draining," Dowdy said of the Midwest plains, with their flat land and lack of scenery. ra`c. _ . file://C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\All%ZOUsers\Documents\C S%20Knights%20Cr... 7/ 16/2003 The Pueblo Chieftain Oniine - Z hursaay .une 12tH, ~uu~ Each runner has approximately 10 years experience, according to Loesel, so the physical challenge has not been a problem. In fact, the runners have been covering each mile in under 7 minutes, which becomes especially impressive when you consider that they do this every day. The group expects to arrive back in Roanoke by July 18, and tardiness or failure is not an option. After that date, the rental agency charges them $50 an hour for the RV. The project, officially titled Cave Spring Knight's Crossing, named after the high school and its mascot, has received support from corporate sponsors such as Nike, Wal-Mart, Fleet Feet, and Frito-Lay, as well as countless individual contributors from Roanoke. The men cook most of their meals in the RV and, surprisingly, eat a lot of burgers and fries. "We eat some healthy stuff, but we eat a lot of unhealthy stuff too," said Stuart. Wal-Mart's support has been extremely valuable. The company allows the road warriors to park their RV and raise money in any Wal-Mart parking lot they come across. No longer in school, the runners quit their jobs to take the trip. "We didn't have the greatest jobs, so we weren't too sad to see them go," I'u`l' J iJ; file://C :\Documents%20and%20Settings\All%20Users\Documents\C S%20Knights%20Cr... 7/16/2003 The Pueblo Chieftain Uniine - ~1~hursday .tune 12tH, Zuw Loesel said.

"When you get closer and closer, that's when the money starts to come in," Loesel said. So does the attention. Loesel said ESPN, USA Today and Runner's World magazine all have expressed interest in their run. "Everything is going to come in at the end," Loesel said.

We published the article about Will and Laurence last week, on June 20. I mailed a hard copy of the newspaper to the address they gave me during the interview, which I remember being on Tanglewood Dr, so it should be arriving at your home soon. I also pasted the text into the end of this email. And I've enjoyed reading the journal and following them across country. Thanks for all your assistance, and let me know if ^an do anything else. Kristen White Mountain Mail by Kristen M. White Mail Staff Writer During the past six weeks, two Roanoke, Va., men who recently passed through Salida, have often heard the question, "Are you crazy?" But to many people, the question seems fitting because Will Stuart and Laurence Loesel are running across the country, via U.S. 50. The two men, with a third teammate, Ben Dowdy, started running in Placerville, Calif. and will finish their trek nearly 3,000 miles away in Roanoke. "Cave Spring Knights Crossing" is afund-raiser for Cave Spring High School in Roanoke. The runners hope to raise about $1.5 million for anew track, infield and field house for the high school, where Loesel is the cross country coach and an alumnus. "We were talking about ways to raise money (for the new sports facilities)," Loesel said. "We were joking about running across the country, and then we decided we really needed new facilities, so we pitched the idea to the school." Loesel said school officials "bit" on the idea, so he got Dowdy, a former high school and college teammate, and Stuart, a former college teammate, to help him run the course. Each day, the men travel a varied distance, depending on the night's destination, and sleep in a rented RV. They said the running "isn't as bad as it sounds" because they aren't each running the entire way, but instead take turns running pieces of the course. "When there's just the two of us, one runs while the other drives up the road awhile, and then we swap," Stuart said. "When there are three of us, we'll drop one guy off, drive up 10 or so miles and drop another guy off, so we're actually running (two 10-mile sections) at one time." Fund-raising is indirect, they said. By telling people what they are doing and having the story covered by various media throughout the nation, Loesel said they hope people will contribute to the cause. "We don't take pledges or anything like that," he said. "We're just doing it to raise awareness through the media." On day 33, June 6, Stuart and Loesel arrived in Salida (Dowdy was out of state for a few days) after running from Sargents, over Monarch Pass. "That was really hard," Stuart said. "The air was so thin up there." They joked they were looking forward to Kansas, where the running would be at a lower, flatter, elevation. On average, each person runs about 15 miles a day, sometimes all at Wednesday, July 16, 2003 America Online: JELoesel . :acs - ~ once or some days broken into two parts. Both men said getting up every morning to face another day of running isn't as grueling as it might sound. "Everybody's really in shape," Loesel said. Stuart added, "So far, we've held up pretty well." They said they have enjoyed all the running and the accompanying sight-seeing, and aren't in any hurry to return to their "regular" lives. "We all quit our jobs to do this," Loesel said. "We don't really want it to end. We meet so many different people, who say we're Crary, but they think it's cool. Going back might be boring." Before they return to every day life, the men will cross Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia before arriving in Roanoke. Along the way, Loesel said they hope to be interviewed by ESPN, USA Today and Runners World, each of which has expressed interest in the cause. "We've also contacted Tom Hanks' agent to see if maybe he'd run (as character Forrest Gump) the last part with us," Loesel said. "We don't know if he'll do it, but it would be fun." Sponsors for the runners include Nike, Fleet Feet, Frito Lay and Wal-Mart, as well as numerous Virginia sponsors. Stuart and Loesel said they hope all the miles they put in will be worth the effort and will raise "lots" of money for Cave Spring High School. "This is definitely a once in a lifetime thing," Loesel said. To learn more about the fund raising efforts, people may visit www.cavespringknightscrossing.com for details.

Radford News }ournal New Castle Record Cave Spring is going to build a track, soccer field and field house where Fincastle Herald athletes for outdoor sports can dress rather than the school locker rooms. Vrnton Messenger The field house will include coaches' offices, storage and multi-purpose areas Cave Spring Connection for indoor batting cages, driving ranges and running/throwing space.

(National News "We want to put in a rubberized synthetic [8 lane) track," said Meck. "We Financial News want it to be a place where we can host district, regional and state track Healih News events." Entertainment Town Hali That might take a while for the first phase includes only bleacher type seating for regular season soccer and track events. There will be time to raise the funds, as construction isn't scheduled to start Nold That Tiger until after the 2004-football season. Completion of the project should coincide with Cave Spring's 50th anniversary as a school. Titans in the hunt with no seniors Lights aren't in the plans. If they are added in the future, it might be the only item the school will approach the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors to help with. -Lnigtat~ running ;or nevi #~eic~ '•We haven't had any negative responses," said Meck. "We actually had a public meeting for any Penn Forrest residents who might have questions or~ complaints. No one showed up." There are specific ways Cave Spring will attempt to raise the money for the new complex. "We sent out letters to 18,800 alumni, and students in the high school and those in our feeder schools," said Meck. Ben Dowdy and Laurence Loesel, who ran track for the Knights in the late 90s, will be running from Roanoke to San Francisco starting May 5 and keeping a schedule that calls for 75 days to make the trips. Dowdy and Loesel hope to collect pledges of support from people to benefit the construction. There will be a third runner, who can't be named because he's a Cave Spring graduate who is now an NCAA athlete. htto:irmainstreetnewsnaners.com;artides/Z00310~!17lcave sprin~Jsportsinews0~.txt >'18:'?U(?.~ ~.1ain Street Newspapers i'ii'-c - ~-; ' The school plans a big sendoff for the trio.

BOYS' BASKETBALL: Meck said plans are to continue Holiday Hoopla at the Salem Civic Center December 26-27, 29. A!I of this year's eight entrants have agreed to return, but it's possible that as many as 12 teams will participate. This means there might not be a true tournament format over the three days of the event. BASEBALL: The Knights are finding life as a Group AA team delightful. Coach Randy Boone's team was off to a 5-0 start in the Blue Ridge District after beating William Fleming this past Tuesday. The key game of the regular season comes up Friday, April 18, when the Knights travel to William Byrd for a meeting of the top two schools in the Blue Ridge District. It's the only regular season battle between the teams. A big victory came over defending district champ Alleghany 4-3. Though the game was played on April 1, it was no Apri! Fools' joke that the Knights knocked off one of the Blue Ridge District perennial powers. Kreg Savoie was the star as he pitched the last two innings and hit athree- run homer to get the victory, As a Group AAA school, the Knights had been perennial visitors to the Northwest Region. They haven't given up facing Group AAA teams. Mills Godwin, one of the nation's top-ranked high school teams, visited Cave Spring Wednesday and beat the Knights 9-1. Cave Spring was to play Northwest Region member Halifax County on Thursday. Boone said the game with Mills Godwin came up when both teams were knocked out of traveling to out-of-state tournaments because of the war in Iraq. Pitching is the strength of the team. Savoie had struck out 19 batters in 11 innings going into the game with William Fleming. Andrew Lumsden, cousin to Clemson star pitcher Tyler Lumsden, had whiffed 11 and walked only three in 11.3 innings. SOFTBALL: The Knights got off to a fast start in their first season in the Blue Ridge District. Cave Spring was 5-D in the district and S-1 overall after beating William Fleming 15-0 earlier this week. Melandy Waldron pitched a no hitter and struck out 13. She has been a key for the Knights this spring along with Kendal Martin (4-for-4) against the Colonels, Susan Rodgers (3-for-5, two RBI) and outfielder Mary Greenway (2-for-3, three stolen bases).

And they're off On Monday, Loesel and Dowdy, 24, both Cave Spring graduates, left with Stuart, 22, in an RV headed for San Francisco. If they follow their arduous schedule, they should start the first leg of their return trip -- a 45-mile run from Sacramento to Placerville, Calif. -- May 12. The former college runners -- Dowdy at Virginia Tech -- will go as a relay team, each running about 15 miles per day for 68 days. They will run in 11 states through the spring and summer, sleeping in the RV most nights. They'll rotate, with one running, one riding a bike and the other driving the RV. Dowdy will leave briefly May 27 and return to finish the run, but they will never be alone. Dave McGillivray, who ran solo more than 3,400 miles from Medford, Ore., to Medford, Mass., in 1978, said that http : //www. ranoke. com/roati m es/speci al_secti on s/kni ghts/ 5/15/2003 The Roanoke Times makes their run more feasible. i a`C -r v- "A relay is significantly different than doing it solo," said McGillivray, a North Andover, Mass., resident who has advised the Roanoke trio. "Maybe that is the more palatable way to go." Attracting celebrity attention The trio has already attracted so much attention to their plans that Forrest Gump may join them. Actor Tom Hanks - - who, in the 1994 movie, portrayed a man who ran across the country numerous times -- has expressed interest in running some with them. According to Terri Langford, Cave Spring's booster club president, other celebrities and national media have also contacted the club about their journey -- dubbed "Knight's Crossing" for Cave Spring's nickname. They have also received offers to attend a parade and to have mayors run with them. "People are just going crazy," said Langford, a 1981 Cave Spring graduate whose son, Joe, is a freshman at the school. "I'm not sure how much people realize how this is going to bring Roanoke to the forefront." Wild idea, well thought out That is one reason Loesel, a 2002 Roanoke College graduate, pursued his far-fetched idea. He spent December planning the trip and, using his skills as a business student, wrote a 50-page report and devised a Power Point presentation to sell the booster club on it. "My initial reaction was, 'You are absolutely nuts,"' Meck said. "There are probably 10 people that come into my office every week with some crazy idea. But none of them were as prepared as he was." Despite not knowing Langford, Loesel persuaded her to let him speak to the booster club. On Jan. 6, he gave a persuasive three-hour presentation. "I had this young boy who calls me on the phone one night and says 'I need to come to your booster club meeting,"' http://www.roanoke.com/roatimes/special_sections/knights/ 5/15i2GGs ' The Roanoke Times z"a~ = ..'~ , Langford said. "When they first came to us, from the parents on the board you had this ... doubt thing. And then you listen to them talk and you think, 'Why not?"' The club needs as much help as it can get to raise its target $1.5 million for the privately funded Project 50. Cave Spring may get a grant from Roanoke County Parks and Recreation, but will raise the bulk of the funds with donations from alumni, auctions and other fund-raisers. As of May 5, the club had raised $40,000, about 2.7 percent of the goal. Langford said they hope to begin construction after the 2004 football season, aiming for completion by the summer of 2006, Cave Spring's 50th anniversary. Raising awareness Knight's Crossing will not directly raise money, but it hopes to bring attention to Project 50. Loesel figures to benefit from the project. It calls for a new, eight-lane German broken-back synthetic track to be installed with two shelters, allowing for the school to host major track meets. "With the size of the community, I can't believe we don't have facilities like this," he said. The renovation will also feature refurbished football and soccer practice fields and a new field house with a weight room, opening up indoor storage space for winter sports. "Just about every sport is going to be helped by this project," Meck said. "I have no doubt this is going to be a reality three, four years from now. Hopefully the run will help win some of these people over." Top notch runners That is Loesel's goal. He initially planned to run alone until Dowdy and Stuart expressed interest in joining him. He and Stuart were All-Conference selections in cross country last year at Roanoke College, and Dowdy was Timesland's Runner of the Year in 1997. While Dowdy is prepared for long runs after training in college by running 100 miles in a week, Loesel, who has never run a marathon, is prepared after running 60-70 miles http:/1www.roanoke.com/roatimes/special_sections/knights/ 5/15/2003 The Roanoke Times in certain weeks in school. t'u~C v .): Finn Pincus, his coach at Roanoke College, said the run will not be as difficult as it seems. Pincus said because they have little pressure to finish quickly, the quality of their runs doesn't have to match the distance. "They're very capable," said Pincus, who coached Stuart and Loesel together for four years. "They're overachievers. 4~~lien they tackle a project they're going to see it through." Pincus believes they won't tire of running "because they nm every day anyway.... They may get tired of looking at each other in that vehicle." They're going the distance Despite obstacles such as the heat and snakes of California and Nevada and the mountains of Colorado, not to mention general health concerns, Dowdy and Loesel fully expect to finish the run. "We're doing this for distance," not speed, Dowdy said. "I think we can easily do this." McGillivray said the most difficult parts of his 1978 run were going through the hills of Pennsylvania and maintaining patience. The trio will face major hills in Ohio and West Virginia, but their patience should be bolstered by one another's company. McGillivray, who has advised others doing cross-country runs, was impressed by the trio's organization. He believes they will finish, though he warned that "all you need is one injury and you have to abort. "I'm fully confident that these guys have prepared," said McGillivray, who runs DMSE, a sports marketing and management company in North Andover, Mass. "My gut tells me this isn't a stunt. This is an honest effort to do something that's very challenging and at the same time very worthwhile."

Monday afternoon, when Meck introduced the trio before the student body in the school gym. Calling Loesel "absolutely the craziest guy you will ever meet," Meck thanked them as they marched out of the gym, climbed into the RV and followed two ambulances out of the school parking lot to begin the drive to San Francisco.
