Staunton City Council will conduct up to three forums - September 28
Staunton City Council will conduct up to three forums around the city to gather citizen input on a proposal to shift city elections to coincide with state and federal elections. The Staunton Electoral Board has asked City Council to consider such a change to save money and to potentially increase voter involvement in local elections.
City elections are currently held in May. The proposed change would schedule them to occur with the general election in November.
Since changing dates for elections is a significant step for the city, the members of City Council want to hear from city residents before taking action.
The public forums on election dates will be held:
* 7 p.m. Monday, October 1 in the Lee High School cafeteria, and
* 7 p.m. Monday, October 22 in the Shelburne Middle School cafeteria
A third forum may be scheduled later. Members of City Council will be present at all forums and any resident of the City of Staunton is invited to attend and speak to the subject. Residents may also submit their opinions by mailing them to: Election Date, City Council Clerk, P O Box 58, Staunton, VA 24402, or by emailing them to customer_relations@ci.staunton.va.us. Please include your name and address with any submittal.
Although City Council may change the date of elections by ordinance, such action would have to occur before the end of this calendar year in order for the change to be effective with scheduled 2008 elections.
We would appreciate your assistance in publicizing these forums.

Animal Cruelty Case in Waynesboro - September 25
We are currently on scene at 1616 5TH St. working an animal cruelty / welfare case.
Animal control received a call for a foul odor in the vicinity of the residence and upon arrival officers confirmed it was emitting from 1616. Upon looking into the back yard three dogs were observed in the rear of the residence with a significant amount (ground practically covered) of animal feces in the back yard. Animal control was unable to get an answer at the door of the residence and summoned patrol officers to assist. Upon arrival these officers continued to attempt to make contact because a TV and fans were on the residence. Finally, officers made contact with the owner of the house who consented to a search of the residence and the removal of any animals found therein. Officers entered but found cat liter 4-5 inches deep on every surface. The door had to be forced open due to being blocked by litter and debris on the floor. Many interior doors were the same. In addition to the three dogs animal control officers found at least 20 cats in an around the residence. 9 cats, in addition to the 3 dogs were voluntarily relinquished to AC and will be placed in the custody of the SPCA. In addition code enforcement officers from the city have condemned the residence and taken steps to restrict access.
Arrested on the scene was the owner of the residence: William Pettry, 48 years of age who will be charged with multiple counts of Animal Cruelty.
