FINISH PARK THIS WEEKEND?
>>>NO POLICE REPORT OF "DAYLIGHT ROBBERY"
>>>Hoax Does Disservice to Sterling
I have solved the "crime" of the daylight robbery at McDonalds.
It did not happen. And that is a conclusion I must reach for the benefit =
of Sterling Americans.
On Tuesday, 2 days ago, I recieved an email report of a "daylight=20
robbery" at McDonalds. I immediately asked for a police report at=20
central dispatch. There is no police report of this "daylight robbery"=20
at Mcdonalds.
Daylight robberies are a serious matter and are considered major crime=20
by everybody in Loudoun.
I have checked with authorities several times. There was no report to=20
authorities of any daylight robbery in Sterling at that location this=20
week, last week, or last month. Many months of reports were checked.
The email report was sent to many people and some liberals and others=20
are writing their own emails about it.
As of late today, there is still no police report of what I and=20
authorities agree would be a major crime if it actually happened.
>>>>8,000 Volunteer Hours at Discovery Park
>>>>Miracles happen and they happen in Sterling.
The work crew for this project was the largest work crew assembled in=20
Sterling history. The largest volunteer build required better weather to =
be successful in 7 days. It rained hard for a few days. That slowed them =
down.
Now the project will take an extra week. This is the biggest volunteer=20
project of any kind in Sterling ever. The "price tag" of $250,000 in=20
materials is bought paid and mostly installed.
>>>ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS:
The 1200 volunteers gave many thousands of hours, some came all week=20
working 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., many worked 12 hour days.
During July, August, September, and October, I estimate about 3000=20
volunteer hours, not counting the build.
For the build, they had about 1200 people show up over the course of 6=20
days (12 hours days). Assuming 66 people there at any given time, that's =
about 800 volunteer hours per day or 4800 for the whole build.
The current dollar amount used for the value of volunteer hours is=20
$20.02/hr. and is based on both state and national
volunteer center standards.
So the estimate for volunteer hours in dollar value is this equation:=20
8000 hours times $20 equals $160,000 in the value of volunteer hours.
>>>>BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE
Firms loaned trucks, heavy duty equipment, lighting, cranes, bobcats,=20
tools, tents and restaurants donated food and fuel for hundreds each=20
day. This week long effort netted tens of thousands of dollars in other=20
donations.
>>>HELP DISCOVERY PARK FINISH THIS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
If you have not yet come out to help, this is your chance. This is an=20
amazing project and to be part of it is truly a once-in-a-lifetime=20
experience. Sully Elementary School PTO needs volunteers to come out=20
this weekend, Saturday,
10/28 and Sunday, 10/29, starting 7am. We are very close and just need=20
this final push to finish this unique play structure.
Thanks to all that have helped so far. If you helped us early in the=20
week, come on back. You will be amazed at what it looks like now. If=20
you've been helping regularly, then we know that you've caught the fever =
and want to see it completed. But whatever your involvement, we truly=20
appreciate it. We can all be proud of what we've done for the community. =
Let's finish quickly so that Discovery Park can open and the children=20
can enjoy it.
Valerie writes from the outdoor site:
"Many of us are worn out, having been working for this goal for over a=20
year. Many have made huge sacrifices that no one can imagine or=20
appreciate. It takes all kinds, small and large, short and long, etc. to =
make this happen."

I do not think there is anything wrong with Burton accepting the money.=20
For him to feel bad about receiving support from a rich liberal and=20
expect me to feel bad about donations is ZANY. Its confused thinking.
In my own case, a donation to my re-election will get you a re-elected=20
Eugene Delgaudio. That's all donors to my campaign can be assured of. It =
is wrong to browbeat liberal-- or conservative donors-- for backing a=20
candidate they believe in. And if genuine liberals are truly mad at=20
Burton for returning their money, they should cross out "Jim Burton's"=20
name and put some Republican's name on the check instead (like "Friends=20
of Delgaudio").
