As the hearing opened, Richard Abell and Sam Vanneman waited in the heat and humidity on the courthouse sidewalk, unable to negotiate even the steps to the downstairs hall in their wheelchairs. Frank Reynolds, the Washington attorney who represents Mr. Abell, asked the board members for assistance in getting the two men upstairs. Chairman Hubert Gilkey and Newbill Miller hoisted Mr. Abell’s chair over the stone steps and the carpeted stairs. The chairman returned to help Nelson Lane with Mr. Vanneman’s chair, getting a hand from Charles Estes in negotiating the steep turn in the flight to the courtroom. baieiy upstairs, rar. -aneii presented the board with a formal grievance, alleging discrimination on the basis of physical handicap.

Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner THE ROCKETS’ RED GLARE was spectacular in the sky above Avon Hall. 15,000 join July 4th celebration By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer “It had a character, a quality, a sense of what the Founding Fathers had in mind. The principles they thought and argued about for several weeks in drafting the Declaration of Independence have trickled down to Washington, Va., 200 years later,” mused William Carrigan. For the past quarter century, Mr. Carrigan has hosted the town’s celebration and remembrance of the true spirit of Independence Day at Avon Hall, his home in Washington. Aided by a prominent preview article in “big” Washington’s Post, the first Washington’s traditional festivities drew between 10,000 and 15,000 people, according to several estimates. “The biggest problem was where to put the cars,” Washington Fire Department Chief Roger Roach said. “I’ve never seen so many cars. The crowd came early — about 11 a.m. — and they stayed all day. “It went much better than I could have expected. Everybody was happy. The fire department (which organizes the street festival as its major fundraiser) had its best year ever. We grossed more than $11,000.” Mayor Dean Morehouse agreed with Chief Roach’s assessment. “The crafts people did very well. They all said they were surprised and pleased. Many people who came out for the first time said that they planned to come back. ” Sperryville artisan Jeanne Dre' vag said that “financially it was the best ever. Also, from a crafts viewpoint it was set up real well. There were sure a lot of folks from the city . . . and I saw a lot of people I only see on the Fourth of July!” Mr. Carrigan said that he had received numerous calls from people “who didn’t even know where Washington was — but who wanted to come out and enjoy Independence Day in the country.” Among me visitors wno did tind Washington was a busload of about 60 foreign exchange students. “One of their hosts called and said that they had seen just the cities since they had been in the U.S.,” Mr. Carrigan recalled. “They wanted to come and see what grassroots America was like. After the fireworks were over two Egyptian ladies came up to me and said ‘this is the most wonderful thing that has happened to us in this country — we saw something that we hadn’t seen yet — and we’re going to take the story and the memory back to Egypt’.” A huge crowd filled the town’s streets from late morning through the afternoon, browsing at the many booths offering everything from gold and silver jewelry to lottery chances on a heifer named Effie. Food vendors were nearly overwhelmed by the ravenous revelers, and by 6 p.m., “a mouse would have found it tough to fill its belly,” Chief Roach said. “The fire department went through more than 500 pounds of various foods, including 400 pork dinners and LOTS of bratwurst. We could have sold another 200 barbecues.” Mel Davis, manager of Brambles Cafe, said: “Last night (Thursday) my refrigerators were so full you couldn’t stick your finger into them. I’ve got to go to the store tonight to get some food so that I can open tomorrow morning.” Chief Roach said that despite the long waits at the food stands the crowd was very understanding. “We were understaffed. A group of firefighters and paramedics from Prince William County, who had just come up to enjoy the day, saw that we needed help and they just jumped in. They took over the bratwurst and beer garden. It was great!” Following a hot afternoon on the sunny streets of Washington, many of the visitors spent the evening on the cool tree-shaded lawn of Avon Hall, where they strolled about a display of antique cars, or petted several llamas from Sarland llama farm in Albemarle County. More than 100 children participated in foot-races and a tug-of-war, officiated by Rev, Steve Scoggins. Four purebred Arabian horses, led by owner Betty Lenz of Marshall, thrilled the crowd as they galloped around the lake. Horses and riders were attired from head to hoof in traditional Arab dress, their bright colors resplendent in the late afternoon sun. As dusk approached, several choral groups entertained the crowd with a selection of patriotic and religious songs. The singing culminated in America the Beautiful as the Statue of Liberty, designed by local artist Laurie Marshall, was revealed in the flickering candles of the traditional luminari. Ellen Manson, a former resident of Washington (whose husband Charlie appeared as his alter-ego, Uncle Sam), led the crowd in singing The Star-Spangled Banner as the fireworks display began. “Oohs” and “Aahs" were plentiful from children of all ages as Hubert Gilkey and his family put on a dazzling display of aerial pyrotechnics. “For at least six years Hubie and his family have orchestrated a symphonic precision in their fireworks display," Mr. Carrigan observed. “It’s a technical, dangerous job, and Continued on page 11 Shenandoah Park rededicated By CATHY DYSON Arundel Newspapers StaffT Writer Pomp and ceremony were kept to a minimum as ia handful of participants and state-officials marked the 50th anniversary of the Shenandoah National Park last week Unlike the park’s dedication on July 3, 1936, there were no units of marching soldiers, no stirring speech from the president of the United States and no lavish tent parties at the 1986 event. Rather, about 350 people — more than 2,000 were expected — quietly paid homage to the 195,000acre park and the Virginians who gave up their homes, land and time for it. Keynote speaker was Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, who received a standing ovation when he reached the podium. Minutes before, former U. S. Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. had challenged Gov. Baliles to scale Old Rag Mountain, one of the park’s more famous peaks with an elevation of 3,291 feet. The governor heartily accepted the challenge made by the senior politician and added: “It will be the one place we won’t build a road.” Gov. Baliles called the park a “national treasure" and pledged to Continued on page 16 Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner GOV. GERALD BAILILES took time out from the Shenandoah Park dedication ceremony to say hello to some of his younger constituents. Park ranger ‘never hated to go to work’ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The public sees a park ranger as the human equivalent of Smokey the Bear, prowling the woods for the smoldering embers of a camp cookout and sniffing the air for forest fires. There’s more to the job, according to Bob Johnson, Shenandoah National Park ranger who recently retired after ,40 years at the post. A ranger must be game warden, firefighter, representative of the Better Business Bureau, deputy sheriff and public health officer, says Mr. Johnson. And he’s an expert. His 40 years, just 10 fewer than the park itself is celebrating in 1986, marks the longest service of a Shenandoah ranger. His ties to the Blue Ridge Mountains predate the park. “Where I was born is part of the park now. My dad’s homeplace is up there,” Mr. Johnson said. He remembers the eviction of the mountain people after the passage of Virginia’s blanket condemnation act. He remembers their sorrow and anger and the sympathy of the lowlanders who agreed the treatment was unfair. “It wasn’t a popular movement. After all, they were losing their homes,” Mr. Johnson acknowledged. He commiserated with the mountain folk who were forced to begin a new life in a strange — and often unfriendly — environment. But from the beginning, he also recognized the treasure the park would prove to be for future generations, including the great-great-grandchildren of those families ousted a half century ago. He wanted to work there as a ranger. “It was seeing the park, seeing the operation.” Ana, ne auaeu, grinning as ne admitted to more practical motivation, “it was wanting a job when I got out of the service.” He started as a seasonal ranger in 1946 and then joined Continued on page 16

Extension on wheat ballots Since wheat poll ballots were mailed to wheat producers on June 25, one week later than announced earlier, the date for returning ballots in person or by which mailed ballots must be postmarked has been extended from July 7 to July 14. This announcement was made by the executive director of the Warren and Rappahannock County offices of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). Ballots must be returned by wheat producers to their local county ASCS offices to be checked against an eligibility list. The ballots will be canvassed at a public meeting in each county ASCS office on July 18. All valid ballots will be placed in an envelope, sealed and mailed to the ASCS Kansas City management office for tabulation. The tabulations of the poll results, with demographic summarization, will be announced after August 1. In the wheat poll, producers are being asked if they favor imposition of mandatory limits on production of wheat which will result in wheat prices that are not lower than 125 percent of the cost of production. An ASCS official explained that it is not a referendum, but a way for wheat producers to express their desires about a farm program. SPR Corporation to Ray T.

Board affirms intention to abandon landfill site By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N«w» Staff Writer The supervisors Monday took action to clear the way for the Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management to approve an extension of the county’s landfill. But they stopped short of giving Robert Forman, the area supervisor for solid waste disposal, exactly what he’d asked for. In second-hand communication from attorneys last month, the board learned that Mr. Forman required two things before he would extend capacity at the existing privately owned and operated landfill near Woodville: • A resolution stating the board’s intent to provide a new county landfill by July 1,1987. • Approval for a 10-foot lift to cover trash at the current site. Earlier this year, Mr. Forman had judged that capacity there would be reached by July 1, 1986, and had ordered a closure plan submitted by property owner Clifton Clark and Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Updike. The Updikes manage Community Trash Disposal Inc., the firm that supplies and empties Rappahannock’s scattered dumpsters. Under the terms of their contract with the county, all solid waste — once deposited in the dumpsters — becomes the Updikes’ responsibility. That contract would have expired June 1 but the supervisors exercised their option to extend the arrangement for another year. now closure ol the Clark property dump would leave the Updikes without a site in the county and without the means to fulfill their obligations for diposal of Rappahannock’s solid waste. Wanting first-hand information, the supervisors asked for a special session with Mr. Forman two weeks ago. He affirmed his request for zoning approval from the governing body for the 10-foot elevation in contours but backed down from his demand for a promise of a new county landfill, saying the supervisors must assure only that the county will make satsifactory provisions for solid waste disposal by the July 1, 1987 deadline. With that in hand, he said he would then okay the dump extension by approving the 10 foot lift in the closure plan. “I’d like to know what’s being requested,” Supervisor Newbill Miller said Monday.

Day realtor AVOID SURPRISE LIENS Whenever a contractor makes building improvements or constructs a new building — such as a house — for you, you should always require him to furnish proof that he has paid the businesses furnishings supplies and labor for the job. Otherwise, the unpaid suppliers or sub-contractors could file a statement of lien against your property for the money owed to them. Even if your general contractor gives youa “waiver of lien” for the work he has done, you are not protected from sub-contractors and suppliers if they have not been paid. They could still get a valid lien against your property if they follow the proper procedures. More than one property owner has found himself having to pay suppliers and sub-contractors even after he has paid the general contractor. Of course, the general contractor is liable to the owner because of this extra payment, but recovery from him can be expensive, difficult, and sometimes impossible. Your best protection from this unpleasant and expensive situation is consultation with your attorney during the contract process.

We’re here to help. Forman was “very, very evasive... He would not tell us what he wants.” “The county really has no say regarding a landfill,” noted the board’s legal advisor, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. The only local permit involved came from the Board of Zoning Appeals, not from the Board of Supervisors, he added. Mr. Forman wants a sign that the supervisors won’t try to continue the landfill on the Clark property “but I‘m not exactly sure what legal framework he’s working within,” Mr. Luke said. He advised the supervisors to simply assure Mr. Forman that they have no objections to extending the life of the current landfill to July 1. 1987. “The state has the authority to close that landfill without this board’s approval, and it has the authority to keep it open without this board’s approval,” he stressed. “I think we ought to thank Mr. Forman’s department for a very necessary one year extension and hope like hell to have our ducks in a row when that extension runs out,” said Supervisor Nelson Lane. “I’m not opposed to granting that one-year extension,” Chairman Hubert Gilkey agreed. “I think we’re skirting the main issue,” cautioned Supervisor Charles Estes. “I think we all realize that the state is going to put Rappahannock in the landfill business. That’s the bottom line!” If the supervisors state that they have no objection to continued use of the current landfill until July 1, 1987, and that they will make every effort to have a landfill or other suitable method of disposal by that date, “I don’t see any legal problem,” said Mr. Luke. “But legally we shouldn’t be in the position of approving that site.” The assurances to Mr. Forman taken care of, the board turned to attorney David Konick, representative of several adjoining landowners to the Clark property. Mr. Konick said his clients also want assurances that the current landfill — intially allowed with a two-year special use permit in 1977 from the BZA — will be shut down at the close of the extension period on July 1, 1987. Otherwise, he said, his clients will challenge the Health Department’s approval of that extension.

The resolution also notes that the adjoining landowners represented by Mr. Konick will refrain from challenging the dump’s continuance for one year in exchange for the forgoing assurances. In addition, the supervisors stipulate that the resolution is not effective until Mr. Konick provides a letter from his clients agreeing to those terms and to forebear legal challenge.

McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer Eleven years ago John Early and Clarence “Boosie” Dodson approached Captain Luthur B. Stuart and asked him if the Amissville Little League Baseball team could use some of his land to play on. Capt. Stuart readily agreed. “They’ll have it as long as I live,” Mrs. Stuart recalled her husband saying to a friend. Capt. Stuart died November 27, 1980, but before he passed away he expressed a desire for the land to belong permanently to the young people. in iy»4, to tultin her husband’s wish, Mrs. Stuart deeded the land to the Amissville Ruritan Club, which sponsored the community’s first baseball team in 1967. The only provision of the deed is that the youth be given priority in usage. The gift became reality last Saturday when the Ruritans dedicated the field to the memory of Capt. Stuart. After the dedication the Ruritans moved across Route 211 to the Amissville firehall where they had their 25th annual beef barbeque. Mr. Terry Terhune, the chairman in charge of the tasty event, said of the work done by his fellow Ruritans: “It was like looking for a spare tire when you get a flat and coming back to find it already inflated and ready to go.” Mr. Terhune added that the club has often thought of putting out a recipe booklet on how to do a barbeque to share some to the knowledge J.

THURSDAY, JULY 10,1986 Editorials Equal access The problem of access for handicapped citizens to public meetings held in the courthouse was graphically illustrated on Monday, when the members of the Board of Supervisors were asked to, quite literally, assist two members of the community to gain access to the hearing to express their concern. The state and federal governments have enacted legislation making it illegal to discriminate against the handicapped. Those regulations cover the legal aspect of the issue. More important, perhaps, are the moral and humanitarian sides of the question. As pointed out at the hearing, handicapped does not necessarily mean wheelchair-bound, and it does not „ necessarily refer to a permanent condition. Anyone who has ever had a broken leg can testify to the enormous difficulties that temporary condition imposes. For some time before his recent death, Supervisor Clarence Baldwin had trouble negotiating the stairs to the second floor courtroom for meetings of the board. This is an issue which ought to be easily resolved. The citizens who feel slighted by their lack of access do not seem to be anxious to instigate a lawsuit. The supervisors, likewise, certainly understand the legitimate rights of all citizens to attend meetmgs at which decisions affecting their lives are made. The sticky point seems to be money. As was stated at the hearing, this is not a time to pinch pennies. But, if courthouse renovations prove too expensive, - an alternate, accessible site must be found. Legalities are not the point. Last weekend we celebrated, with great fanfare and expressions of patriotism, the unique freedoms which we ALL enjoy. To deny any citizen of Rappahannock County the opportunity to exercise those freedoms would be a bitter irony indeed. Thanks to all Last Friday’s Independence Day celebration in Washington was, by all accounts, the largest and most successful in its 25 year history. Many groups and individuals deserve recognition for the hard work and long hours which they put in to make the event such a success. All of the volunteers who manned the various booths through the hot, sunny day; the Sheriffs Department, which did an outstanding job of controlling the huge crowd — and their cars and the residents of the Town of Washington, who cheerfully surrendered their peaceful community for the day so that the entire county could join in their celebration. Three individuals should be especially commended for their efforts. Roger Roach, chief of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, served as chairman and coordinator for the entire day’s festivities. As such, he worked for months before the Fourth attending to innumerable details, any of which could have spoiled the day. On Saturday, he was back out on the streets, supervising the cleanup operation. William and Ramona Carrigan, who for the 25th year invited the county to join them in celebrating our independence, have the appreciation of everyone who has attended their unique celebrations throughout the years. Mr. Carrigan, with characteristic modesty, downplayed his contribution to the success of the event. We would remind him that, without his vision, there would have been NO grand celebration. Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan are, certainly, personifications of all the best in the American spirit. And lastly, the crowd deserves thanks for its orderly, patient behavior during long waits in the hot sun. It is truly to the credit of the people who attended the event that there was not a single incident to mar the spirit of the day. There’s only one question: What do you do for an encore? Have something to say about public issues? Get it off your chest. Write a letter to the editor. Rappahannock Heritage LITTLE DEVIL STAIRS Overlook on the Skyline Drive. Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Letters to the editor Planning survey explained To the editor: As chairman of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission (PD-9) I can not let the misinformation and erroneous perception expressed in Bob Eastham’s letter (Rappahannock News, June 12) go unanswered. I appreciate Werner Krebser’s response to help set the record straight. By way of background the Virginia Area Development Act passed by the General Assembly in 1968 established 22 Planning Districts in Virginia. We are in PD-9 consisting of the following counties and towns: Rappahannock and Washington, Orange and Gordonsville, Fauquier and Warrenton, Culpeper and Town of Culpeper and Madison County. The majority of the members must be elected officials; the others can be residents of the district, registered voters who hold no elected office. The purpose of the commissions is to provide a means for commu-. nicating community needs and problems to the state government, to foster planning and to make provisions for the creation of a unit of government capable of efficiently performing functions and services on a regional basis, the cost of which can be borne equitably by those receiving the benefits. Participation in PD-9 costs Rappahannock County $1,800 a year for services which if obtained through the private sector would cost much more. PD-9 performs mainly planning functions for its members — work studies and plans being initiated by request of the local government and approved by the governing body. The PD-9 staff works closely with local officials; in Rappahannock we work closely with the Planning Commission. Some of the projects accomplished with help from PD-9 are: • Comprehensive Plan for Rappahannock County. • Town of Washington zoning ordinance. • Regional tourism meeting (Rappahannock businesses actively participated). • Report on Land Application of Septage and Sludge in PD-9. W Revised introduction and environmental sections of Rappahannock County Comprehensive Plan. • Update of Comprehensive Plan. • Management of the grant finances and technical assistance to the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority on the Sperryville Sewage Treatment Project. • Regional Emergency Services mutual aid agreement involving commitments from all five counties. • Regional Ridesharing Program (this program helps 545 commuters in PD-9). I believe Mr. Eastham’s letter and perception of the Planning District Commission is completely erroneous and his views on this matter reflect unfavorably on his credibility to comment on matter of public policy as they pertain to an important aspect of local government activities. What follows provides answers to his specific assertions. The method by which the “poll” was conducted is considered to be the most successful and efficient. In most cases, a telephone survey gives a much higher response rate than mail out or door-to-door methods. The respondents were chosen by the PD-9 staff by electing every eight residential telephone number in Rappahannock County at random. We believe the number of people surveyed to be more than adequate to receive representative responses to all questions on the survey. The PDC-9 staff made every effort to survey 404 households or 14 percent of all household in the county. The number of people answering the survey questions shows that many citizens are not willing to respond to public issues when given an opportunity. The questions were not frivolous but were considered at two meetings of the county Planning Commission. The method of conducting the “poll” was also considered and approved by the Planning District Commission. With respect to our interfering with the county budget process, nothing could be more far-fetched. It is preposterous to think the county Planning Commission would have approved this survey and its timing in an attempt to interfere with its own Board’s budgeting process. COL. E. P. LUKE Chairman, PD-9 Washington Appreciation from Lions To the editor: Members of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, Rescue Squad, Auxiliary and Junior Firemen are to be commended for the outstanding job done in preparing for and handling a record crowd in Washington on July 4th. Let’s not forget the necessary cleanup that followed that night and on Saturday. Fire Chief Roger Roach, chairman of the event must not be overlooked for his masterful handling of a difficult task that resulted in a most successful affair. Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan, gracious as every during the past 25 years, hosted a spectacular fireworks display. The Arabian horse show, childrens games, the choral presentation and other events were thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan. For their vigilance in maintaining what appeared to be a most orderly crowd, the Sheriffs Department is hereby complimented. During and following the events on July 4th in Washington many good compliments were overheard. Of course, there were also a few uncalled for critical remarks and some constructive criticism. The Rappahannock Lions Club members recognize the' difficulties involved and we praise all who worked so hard to make the affair safe, profitable and enjoyable. Certainly, the weather as well was on our side. GUY FOSTER President Rapphannock Lions Club The best of America o the editor: An open letter to the Carrigans: For the 25th year you have graciously filled the air above Avon Hall with “the rockets’ red glare and bombs bursting in air.” Each year you have generously capped our July 4th celebration with your fiery salute to the spirit of independence. Your good will and generosity are themselves symbols of the best of the American spirit. On behalf of the citizens of the Town of Washington and their guests, we give you our heartfelt thanks. THE WASHINGTON BUSINESS COUNCIL Washington It doesn’t ‘just happen’ To the editor: On the 4th of July d fantastic celebration appears to “just happen.” Of course, many people are involved in planning, arranging, and orchestrating the day’s events. One person, in particular, deserves special note and an expression of gratitude. He worked tirelessly for weeks, but we were particularly surprised to see him at 10:30 at night, chalking spaces for craft exhibits, at 6 the next morning, setting up tables, then again late after the celebration ended, picking up trash. In the afterglow of such a fine celebration, we would like to give a special “thank you” to Roger Roach. NAN & JIM THOMASSON Washington The poet also speaks of love By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Just as death and the hope for immortality are perennial concerns of poets, so is love. Shakespeare in Sonnet CXVI defines it, saying in part: Love is not love Which bends when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove; 0, No! it an ever-fixed mark . . . He believes a person who loves another is like one related to another, a mother or sister, for instance. Nothing can change that. Caroline Spurgeon, who examined his imagery some years ago, found that for Shakespeare, the opposite of * love was fear. St. Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians, discussing love, says “Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is neither boastful, nor conceited nor rude; never selfish ..His definition resembles Shakespeare’s. A poem about love suggesting that it is a primeval, fundamental force is Marianne Moore’s The Paper Nautilus (1941). With this poem, Ms. Moore (1887-1972), picks out certain features of an obscure mollusk which interest her. The paper nautilus, of the family Argonautidae, is a kind of octopus with eight arms, two of which are modified into “sails” which secrete a pearl-white, parchment-like egg case, shaped like the better known chambered nautilus but open throughout. The shell is narrow and curled at on,e end like a ram’s horn. The exterior is beautifully sculptured in “close-laid Ionic chiton-folds”. The Ionic column is fluted. A chiton (pronounced ki-ton) is a white Greek robe that falls in loose folds. For the poet, the perseverance, selflessness and faithfulness of the nautilus are emblematic of love. The delicacy and beauty of the shell is a fitting image of love. in tne poem she evokes Hercules, the Greek strong man who accomplished the fabled twelve labors, one of which was to kill the manyheaded Hydra, a fabulous water serpent somewhat like the octopus, whose snake-like heads regenerated when cut off. When a large crab attacked Hercules as he was trying to kill the Hydra, he called to his charioteer, Iolaus, who set a field afire and took burning branches to cauterize the stumps of the Hydra’s heads as Hercules cut them off, thus preventing their regeneration. Moore compares the crab’s hindrance of Hercules to the hindrance the eggs occasion the nautilus shell, “the intensively watched eggs coming from the shell free it when they are freed.” This somewhat labored comparison may indicate that the poet was fascinated by the similarity of the nautilus and the Hydra, and couldn’t resist associating them. In representing the female nautilus as a prototype of love, Moore would have us imagine that a capacity for love is not a human characteristic alone, that love and life are inextricably related. She does not unintentionally indulge in pathetic fallacy, that is, attributing human feelings to an inhuman thing, but rather the reverse: human beings can love because the nub of love is already a part of survival at the level ofmollusks! Ms. Moore begins her poem with human activities — a head of state hires soldiers to protect him; a celeContinued on page 5

County game warden Jim Bankston asked the supervisors to authorize enforcement of an amendment to the Virginia code making it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle. The supervisors voted unanimously to grant Bankston’s request and authorized enforcement of the ordinance in Rappahannock County. More than 1200 people visited Rappahannock Library Sunday during the July Fourth festivities. “By actual count 1215 people came up our new steps, walked over our new Colonial brick sidewalk and into our Rappahannock County Library on the 4th of July,” said Librarian Georgia Hufstedler. Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department receives funds The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department was among 57 emergency medical services in the state to receive a cash award through the Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance Fund. Flint Hill Company 4 received a $680 grant from the fund. The Assistance Fund, established by the General Assembly im 1978, provides direct financial support to EMS agencies for the purchase of lifesaving and communications equipment. Awards are given bi-annually — in June and December. Awards generally total about half of the amount needed by the EMS agencies. Individual agencies are responsible for supplying the balance. In documented hardship cases, the assistance fund will supply up to 80 percent of the purchase price of needed supplies. Almost half of the agencies which applied for funding were selected to receive grants. The names of the recipients were announced June 23 by Deputy Health Commissioner Edwin M. Brown. Since 1978 more than $5 million has been awarded to EMS agencies across the Commonwealth. Money for the program comes entirely from the “One for Life” campaign. “One for Life” is the dollar added to vehicle registration fees to support EMS programs. Gary Brown, administrator of the Rescue Squad Assistance Fund in the Virginia Department of Health, said, “We are pleased to award money to almost half of the agencies which made requests. Five years ago we were able to fulfill only 10 percent of the requests.” Brown also stressed that it is very important for the public to continue to support EMS agencies.

Poetry Continued from page 4 brated writer may succumb to flattery and the comforts of life. These suggest the possibility of treachery on the one hand, and becoming a victim of vanity and physical weakness on the other. At the end, she introduces the idea of a fortress, a bastion constructed to protect its occupants. The paper nautilus, she says, proves that a “thin glass shell” and vigilance make a safer home. This poem is written in the syllabic pattern of verses Ms. Moore invented, here seven, seven, five, five, eight, six, six. TTiis is quite different from the usual method of establishing a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables, called feet in prosody. The Paper Nautilus For authorities whose hopes are shaped by mercenaries? Writers entrapped by teatime fame and by commuters' comforts? Not for these the paper nautilus constructs her thin glass shell. Giving her perishable souvenir of hope, a dull white outside and smoothedged inner surface glossy as the sea, the watchful maker of it guards it day and night: she scarcely eats until the eggs are hatched. Buried eight-fold in her eight arms, for she is in a sense a devilfish, her glass ram’s horn-cradled freight is hid but is not crushed; as Hercules, bitten by a crab loyal to the hydra, was hindered to succeed the intensively watched eggs coming from the shell free it when they are freed,— leaving its wasp-nest flaws of white on white, and closelaid Ionic chiton-folds like the lines in the mane of a Parthenon horse, round which the arms had wound themselves as if they knew love is the only fortress strong enough to trust to. —Marianne Moore American Heart Association WERE FIGHTING FOR MOUR LIFE Out of the Attic Photo courtesy of Mr & Mrs. John Updike A.

He looks for good people, people of vision, those who will not sell their souls for a mess of potage. nor sacrifice their birthrights on the altar of expediency in the marketplace. Pompey, Roman general and statesman, put it: “It is a small matter that I should move forward and die. It is too great a matter that 1 should take one step backward and live." Following the bloody years of the Civil War, the name and character of Gen. Robert E. Lee never faltered nor waivered. This great general stood taller in defeat than most generals ever stood in victory . One day a group of men approached him about heading a business enterprise of questionable nature. They offered him $50,000. "You will have to do nothing. All we want is the use of your name, ’' they told him. Gen. Lee stood tall behind his desk. 'Sirs, my name is the heritage of my parents. It is all I have, and it is not for sale." The gaps are all around us. People, men and women, go and stand! Copyright 1986. Keister-Williams Newspaper Services. P 0 Box 8005. Charlottesville.

Battle celebrates 125th anniversary of First Manassas The 125th anniversary of the Battle of First Manassas will be observed July 18-21 on the site of the original battle and at numerous other locations throughout the Manassas area. The four-day event will feature tours conducted by noted Civil War historians, speeches by invited dignitaries, living history exhibits, and a re-enactment of the 1911 Manassas Peace Jubilee. I his commemoration provides an ideal opportunity for remembering the sacrifices made by the men of the North and South who fought and died here during the first major battle of the Civil War,” said Betty Fisher, chairman of the First Manassas Commemoration Committee. “We hope these ceremonies will not only increase public understanding of one of the most dramatic events in American history, but will also emphasize the need to protect the nation’s Civil War heritage for the benefit of future generations.” The Commemoration Committee includes representatives from the National Park Service, City of Manassas, Friends of Virginia Civil War Parks, Prince William County, and other civic organizations. Committee members are currently raising funds for the event through the sale of commemorative tee-shirts. Any profits derived from the sale of commemorative items will be donated to Manassas National Battlefield Park. The anniversary ceremonies will begin at 7 p.m. July 18 with a concert performed on the battlefield by the U.S. Army Band. The next day will feature tours of the scene of the Battle of First Manassas, horsedrawn carnage rides, observation balloon rides, and a speech by National Park Service director William Penn Mott. Artillery firing demonstrations will take place every halfhour and two mobile Civil War museums will be on display at the battlefield. In addition, a living history field hospital from North Carolina will be in operation throughout the day at Ben Lomond Farm. The farm served as a field hospital during both First and Second Manassas. Also on Saturday afternoon, the City of Manassas will re-create the 1911 Peace Jubilee during which veterans of both armies met in the town in a show of national unity. Tours and the sale of commemorative items will continue July 20. The commemoration events will end July 21 with a wreath-laying ceremony by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. There is no admission charge for the commemoration activities and free parking will be available at Manassas National Battlefield Park and Northern Virginia Community College. For more information on the commemoration activities, call Manassas National Battlefield Park at (703)754-7101.

Have mail held during vacation, postmaster urges An overflowing mailbox is, at best, a way to damage or destroy mail and, at worst, an invitation to burglars, Postmaster Linda Lawler recently warned Amissville residents. “Before you pack up and leave for vacation, contact us and ask us to hold your mail,” Mrs. Lawler said, “or arrange with us to have your mail forwarded for a specified time, then held again while you’re en route home.” Travelers, she said, can arrange for first class mail to follow them for up to 18 months, second class for 60 days and third and fourth class for 12 months. Except for fourth-class parcels, there is no charge for forwarding. iue pusmiasLer saia sucn arrangements can be accomplished by filling out a Change of Address Order, Form 3575, which includes beginning and ending dates. The form is available at the post office. The alternative may be letting mail overflow from a receptacle, possibly to be damaged by vandals, animals or weather conditions, or to be a clear signal that no one is at home.

They do it for one reason — because they love it. They are the stars of the show.” Mr. Carrigan added that “I’m only the coordinator. It takes teamwork — marvelous teamwork in the entire show. I could make lots of mistakes and those performers, those professionals, would go right along. “And the crowd . . . without them I wouldn’t do these things. They are a necessary part of the show. Through their appreciation they make it all worthwhile. “In 25 years of Independence Day celebrations the people of Rappahannock have illustrated the true feelings of Americans toward their country, its meaning and our relationship to it. We are only custodians of this beautiful country for a short time — it is well that we take good care of it and pass it on a little better for the next generation.” Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter MARDELL ROGERS, RIDING “SUNNY,” was one of riders who dazzled the crowd with their costumes and riding on the lawn at Avon Hall.

Cindy Wayland (left) and Julie Bankston look on. Computer camp for gifted/talented increases students’ skills By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “We had success with the program last year and the computers are an available resource,” said gifted/talented coordinator Pamela Rowe, explaining why a summer computer camp was conducted for Rappahannock Elementary School gifted/talented students. “Also, parents have identified this (computers) as something they were interested in developing further,” she added. High school math teacher Helen LaCava taught the two-week computer class, and directed the manipulation of computer programs and functions. Mrs. LaCava observed that the students seemed to know the basics of the operation of a computer but few had the knowledge of why certain symbols or keys were used. “We hope that now they understand WHY they do what they do,” commented Mrs. LaCava. The students had an opportunity to practice what they were taught. They increased their math and typing skills by utilizing prepared programs. Their creativity could also be strengthened by using “Logo” to draw designs, using the “Factory” program to create a figure of their own, using the “Bankstreet Writer” to type and print letters or prose or using “Juggles Rainbow” to make colorful formations. Student Julie Bankston thought the most fun was printing letters. “I wrote a letter to my friend Sarah. I thought the hardest was Word Invaders because if you didn’t type the letters in fast enough your base would be destroyed.” Each day Mrs. LaCava added some new information or skill to the students’ knowledge. She purposefully waited until the next to the last day of class to teach the students how to reproduce music and sound effects such as cannon blasts. On the last day of class students’ parents were invited to attend a play written and produced by the students. Shannon Eastham and Karen Moore originated the idea and were directors of the play. “They asked me how to spell narrator and that was the only help they asked for,” Mrs. LaCava said with a laugh. “I had a lot of fun writing the play. The idea just came to us. It was the first time we had typed a lot on a computer,” Karen Moore said. The cast of the play included each member of the class. A grandfather in the year 2000 was telling his grandson about how it used to be in 1986. Students explained several programs, the use and care of disks, the meaning of infinity, function of a keyboard and monitor, and a robot fold of the use of robots in 1986. Mrs. LaCava hopes the students will think of a computer as a tool that they can manipulate to make it do what they want it to do. “They need to realize that a computer does certain things for certain reasons and they can solve problems by reading, rethinking, or redoing. They now know that if they make a mistake there is a reason for it. It didn’t just happen.” Mrs. Rowe was impressed with the focus of this year’s program. “This year’s focus seems to be on having fun with the computers and experimenting with all of the options available to the students but yet r meeting specified objectives.” Mrs. Rowe added, “These kids will be able to help others use the computer next year in their classes.” Julie Bankston said that she feels confident that she can load and run many programs and is looking forward to helping her classmates next year learn to do the same. Mrs. LaCava emphasized the importance of the use of computers during the school year for the students to retain what they have learned. “I would like to see the computer used for a class endeavor rather than having them always separated with just one or two in a classroom.” She added that using all of the computers with a whole class for a period of time would provide a more efficient use of the equipment. Mrs. LaCava concluded, “They were so easily motivated. I had a lot of fun even though there was work involved.” The students said they wished that the funding had permitted the class to continue throughout the summer. When asked if they had enjoyed the class they emphatically replied, “YES!” v> Recycle. For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT

Call 703/937-5579 after 6p.m. Access Continued from page 1 being conducted in the courthouse, “a place that is clearly NOT accessible,” violates this non-discrimination provision, according to Mr. Abell. He also pointed out that handicapped parking is not provided at the courthouse, in violation of federal regulations effective in 1984. Under grievance procedures adopted two years ago, the board’s hearing officer, Chairman Hubert Gilkey, must hold a hearing within 60 days on the charges and make certain findings. If the findings show that Mr. Abell has been discriminated against through the board’s decision to schedule public meetings at a site not accessible to the handicapped, then the grievance procedure requires the board to revise its policies to ensure such access, according to Mr. Reynolds. At Monday’s public hearing, Mr. Reynolds questioned the effectiveness of the proposed ordinance. It specifies that Rappahannock County will adopt the state’s standards for design, construction or alteration of public buildings. But it provides a loophole to compliance with that Uniform Statewide Building Code by giving the county the power “to waive, or modify, on a case by case basis” the requirements for handicapped access. Mr. Reynolds asked the supervisors to insert “very, very strict standards on waivers.” Both Virginia and federal guidelines on handicapped access ease — but do not waive — standards where historic buildings are involved, according to the attorney. Even for historic buildings, “at least one entrance and at least one bathroom” must pose no barriers to the handicapped, he said. By handicapped, “we’re not just talking about people who are confined to a wheelchair,” Mr. Reynolds continued. The definition includes those with impaired vision, impaired hearing and impaired mobility, and the last category covers those who are ambulatory but whose mobility has been reduced by age, disability or disease. Access for those whose mobility has been reduced by arthritis, heart condition and other infirmities of age is especially important in a county like Rappahannock where one out of every six residents is over 60, noted Mr. Abell. Federal and state standards do not mandate structural alterations, just accessibility, Mr. Reynolds pointed out. But if the courthouse cannot be made accessible without alterations and if the building is of such historical significance that the supervisors don’t want to make changes, “then you need to hold your meetings somewhere else and make this courthouse a private museum,” Mr. Reynolds maintained. As to the cost of remodeling to remove barriers to the handicapped, “economic distress to the governing body is not a real consideration in making programs accessible, just in what method you use to make them accessible,” the lawyer said. He offered to supply the supervisors with names of architects experienced in alterations to provide handicapped accessibility. “I became concerned with this issue this past winter when I tried to attend a meeting at the library,” said Mr. Abell, who was confined to a wheelchair by polio in 1944. “The only two people available to help me were a man with a heart condition and a man with cancer. It’s unfair to expect such persons to have to assist me. Furthermore, they both may need help in getting into the library themselves some day.” The retired history teacher said that historic preservation was “never intended to be used as a means of denying handicapped access.” He challenged the board’s estimates of $65,000 for installation of an elevator and $35,000 for a chair lift, saying that architects familiar with handicapped design and historic renovation were not consulted. But if projections from experts confirm that renovation to eliminate the courthouse’s handicapped barriers is too costly to be feasible, then public meetings should be held in alternative, accessible locations, Mr. Abell concluded. He reminded the board that regulations which went into effect in 1984 already require that programs and hearings be accessible to handicapped persons. “By holding this meeting in an inaccessible place, you are discriminating against me. You are trying to exclude me.” Patricia Saltonstall called the proposed access ordinance with its provisions for waiver on a case-by-case basis “a permanent legal machinery to maintain the county’s present barriers to handicapped persons . . . making it next to impossible for hand icapped people to participate in all the county’s government and court proceedings . . . This is being done after a quarter-century of national effort by millions of Americans to REMOVE barriers to access and opportunity — for minorities, for women and for the handicapped. ” Access for the handicapped is not the place to economize, she told the supervisors. “The miserly treatment of our handicapped citizens confers no glory or honor upon our county. It robs us of our soul,” Ms. Saltonstall said. “Nor will the cosmetic primping of our fine old courthouse honor the tradition, history or memory of George Washington if this public forum is permitted to remain closed to physically handcapped citizens.” Ms. Saltonstall called on the supervisors to provide the leadership to create public access for the handicapped, and if it isn’t forthcoming, for the county’s churches to assume that role. “With the churches’ backing, I cannot imagine that these barriers won’t come tumbling down, to provide our handicapped people the identical access and opportunity that we, who are so blessed not to be handicapped, already eiyoy — and take so for granted,” she concluded. Doris Donald, an employee of the Veterans’ Administration for 29 years who worked for eight years with an architect on the VA’s handicapped barrier removal committee, called the required alterations “no big deal.” Handicapped access is necessary to meet the needs of many people in the county, she said. oomenow, some way, we ought to find the means to meet those needs.” Deborah Coombs, mother of a wheelchair bound child, noted that she was forced to lobby the School Board for some time before handicapped access was provided at the county’s public schools. Children’s programs at the library remain inaccessible, Mrs. Coombs said. Fortunately, her son is still young enough and small enough to be carried easily, she added. “Right now, he isn’t very heavy, but a 58 pound wheelchair is!” Federal regulations requiring the provision of handicapped parking at public buildings went into effect iml984, yet there are still no handicapped parking spaces at the courthouse, she pointed out. “I discussed this with the board in October 1983, and I’m still waiting for something to be done.” Former Supervisor E. P. Luke recalled that plans for the recent courthouse remodeling had initially included work to remove barriers to the handicapped. “The judges took that out or they agreed with you when you did,” he reminded the supervisors. “The judges didn’t pass any opinion on it whatsoever,” Mr. Gilkey corrected. “That was the decision of this board.” The cost of the alterations to provide handicapped access amounted to “more than we had to spend,” he said. Election official Chris Byrd told the board that many of those who vote at the courthouse “are unable to even reach the front steps,” making it necessary to carry the ballots out to them. He called on the supervisors to provide handicapped people with access to all functions — both official and non-official — which occur in the courtroom. With a break in the speakers, Joyce Abell asked the board members for their reaction. “It would be nice if we could make this building accessible,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “But we have to look at the cost.” He added that if renovation isn’t economically feasible, “we might have to look at alternative sites (for government functions). ” Supervisor Nelson Lane wasn’t as conciliatory. “I think your approach today is malicious!” he charged, maintaining that the board had been accused of purposeful discrimination against the handicapped. “And that’s not so,” he insisted. He recalled that he’d volunteered to give Mr. Abell “a lift up for the favor of waiting for good news coverage." He complained that the Abells, residents of his district, had not even telephoned him. “I didn’t know there was a problem,” Mr. Lane contended, apparently forgetting that the Castleton resident had written the board earlier this spring, threatening to bring suit if regulations on handicapped access continued to be ignored. Mr. Lane also castigated federal and state governments, authors of standards on handicapped access, for issuing “so many damn mandates when they hold all the revenue sources in their hands.” Rappahannock has a limited tax base, he said, calling on Richmond and Washington to fund their mandates. Failure to provide the money to finance the orders is a “cop-out,” Mr. Lane said. “I resent the fact that we’ve been painted into this corner.” “That does not remove the barriers to getting into this building,” countered Mr. Abell. The supervisor from Stonewall-Hawthome asked if the town of Washington should be closed down to government meetings and the courthouse complex rebuilt elsewhere at taxpayers’ expense — a costly solution to the problem of handicapped access. While the upstairs courtroom was being renovated recently, the board and other governing bodies “went across the street to the Gay Street Theater, and that is accessible (to handicapped people). That didn’t cost you much,” Joyce Abell reminded her representative on the board. “There are other ways of talking with us than accusing us of being malicious or saying that this community is not responsible for providing for its handicapped people but the federal and state governments are, or saying that you’ve done all you should by offering help in getting up the stairs.” She added that no one advocating the removal of barriers to the handicapped has accused the supervisors of deliberately erecting those barriers. “No one said it was done intentionally.” But according to case law, discrimination is judged by fact, “not what your intent was,” interjected Ms. Saltonstall. “You are a public official. This isn’t directed at you personally,” she told Mr. Lane. “I think the ordinance we have here today is totally spineless,” Lane replied, agreeing with the critics. “It says we shall but we don’t have to.” But he stuck with his assertion that the handicapped advocates had unfairly accused the supervisors of discrimination. “You’re looking at this from your own point of view and not from the other person’s,” Mr. Reynolds responded. “This is not the first time these people have requested this body to do something, and they’re not seeing any action.” He pointed out that the handicapped advocates are seeking compliance with the law, and he compared them to civil rights fighters who were once maligned for their efforts but are now respected leaders in government. And he recalled Sheriff Bull Connors who set police dogs on people whose only crime was legally expressing their rights. The means employed by Mr. Abell in seeking his legal right to equal access is a grievance procedure “you have placed into being,” he reminded the supervisors. Mr. Lane s attitude is “we got you up here today so that’s okay,” the attorney continued. “But I think Mr. Abell and Mr. Vanneman would like to get up these steps without your help. . . I’ve known Mr. Vanneman for six years,” he said of the Piedmont Vocational teacher who is confined to a wheelchair by multiple sclerosis. “He never expected to be up here like this. He was an athlete. I played basketball with him, and he’s beaten me to the hoop more than once. He’s in a wheelchair, but he continues to work, he continues to produce. Yet he has to ask for special help to get up the stairs to this meeting. . .1 chide you, Mr. Lane, for looking at this from your own point of view and not from the point of view of these people who are being discriminated against daily,” concluded Mr. Reynolds. “I’d like to support the ordinance without the waiver provision,” said Sperryville resident Ruth Richards. “I think the building restoration committee should be ordered to get on with the job,” added Phil Irwin of Flint Hill. “I’m a little ashamed that we left it to the handicapped people to carry the ball on this thing,” said Bob Gowell. “Our own dignity is at stake.” Of the concern over cost of a barrier free courthouse, he suggested that the board investigate alternative revenue sources, such as taxing tourists or taxing well-to-do retirees at a higher rate. “There are lots of us who can afford more taxes.” “I didn’t know the feelings were so strong,” said Mr. Lane, adding that he thought the problem of handicapped access was being solved. “Apparently it’s not.” He suggested that the board’s administrative assistant John McCarthy meet with the handicapped advocates, find an expert architect and solicit bids on courthouse renovation to remove the barriers to the handicapped. “I don’t want to discriminate against the handicapped but I don’t want to discriminate Continued on pate 16

Ranger Continued from page 1 the permanent staff after he graduated from Virginia Tech in 1953. In those early years, he manned the entrance stations, collected fees from visitors, worked on the survey teams during winter and watched from the lookout towers during fire season. Those five towers were abandoned in the late 1950s with the advent of four-wheel drive vehicles and improvements in radio communication. “The towers just weren’t productive any more. Besides, we were looking right into the sun at the hottest part of the day, and we couldn’t see much with haze,” Mr. Johnson recalled. There have been other changes. Ranger Johnson remembers the days when Commissioner Ferdinand Zerkel held court in park headquarters. Mr. Zerkel, who lived in Luray, had been an early enlistee in George Freeman Pollock’s battle to develop a national park in the Blue Ridge Mountains and later supervised the resettlement program. “Any time you had a minor infraction, a misdemeanor, you’d call Mr. Zerkel in and when you got to park headquarters with your man, he’d be there," Mr. Johnson said. Training for park rangers was as informal as the hearings ih the headuuarters courtroom. "When I first came on, they just gave you a badge and a gun, and you might get on a firing range once a year. By the time I retired, you had to have 40 hours of formal training (in firearms) a year. And if you didn’t get it, you had to turn in your badge!" Mr. Johnson reported. When Shenandoah was established, much of the native wildlife had disappeared from the mountains. “There were very few deer, if any, around here w'hen I was a boy,” Mr. Johnson recalled. “It wasn’t worth your while to hunt until the late 1950s,” after deer were reintroduced to the Blue Ridge by the park service, he said. Bear and beaver were likewise brought back, and the bobcats never left. As to the mountain lions reputed to have made their home in the Blue Ridge, Mr. Johnson wavers. “I never saw one. I remember being on patrol in the north end of the park in 1946 or ’47 when one ranger called and said to come up, that he’d just seen a mountain lion run into a culvert. It was winter, right above Flint Hill, and when I arrived, his bobcat was meandering down the mountain side. “The way a bobcat trails one leg behind, it’s been mistaken for a mountain lion more than once,” Mr. Johnson said. “There are a lot of big bobcats that have fooled people.” "When I was a kid, I KNOW there was a mountain lion at Piney River,” interjected Stella Johnson, the ranger’s wife and a native of Rappahannock County. “Well, there are mountain lions to the north of Shenandoah, and mountain lions to the south of Shenandoah. I don’t see why they couldn't be here,” Mr. Johnson conceded. The ranger never faced down a bear or a mountain lion in his 40 years of patrolling the mountain but he once had a confrontation with a bobcat. “I got between a bobcat and his chipmunk one day,” said Mr. Johnson, chuckling at the memory. “That bobcat didn’t know whether he was more afraid of me or whether he wanted his chipmunk wrorse.” To the chipmunk’s everlasting relief, fear of the ranger prevailed. Two-legged hunters were not so easily deterred. "i’ve looked down the business end of a gun barrel more than once,” Mr. Johnson reported, recalling his brushes with trespassers in the national park game preserve. “Some will hunt there deliberately. Some don’t know' where the boundaries are and don’t care. Some know they’re near the park and are scared they’ll cross the boundary.” Although he often encountered armed trespassers, Mr. Johnson was never seriously threatened by a sportsman angry at the interruption in the chase. “I never felt like my life was in danger." he said. “But I have been in a few situations where I didn’t like the person standing behind me with a gun! “You have to be a hard-nosed cop when the situation calls for it, and then you have to turn around the next minute and be pleasant to a park visitor,” Mr. Johnson continued, elaborating on the duties of a modern ranger. “You’re a law officer during hunting season, and you know you’re going to run into guns.” But unlike the deputy or game warden in a county bordering the park, the ranger deals — for the most part — with strangers, not local residents. “They’re people from all over the United States. When you get out of your car to make a traffic stop on Skyline Drive, you don’t know who you'll encounter.” The ranger is a game warden tracking a poacher, a law enforcement officer armed with a search warrant and then a public health official and Better Business Bureau representative overseeing food serv Photo courtesy of Shenandoah National Park AS A YOUNG RANGER, Bob Johnson manned the entrance station, collecting entrance fees from park visitors. ice and sales of souvenirs at the park’s concessions. Bob Johnson handled the trivial, checking cooling elements in refrigerators and heating elements in dishwashers, and inspecting roofs for leaks and T-shirts for prices. He also worked in life and death situations, leading search and rescue details through the park’s wilderness to the site of airplane crashes. And he even fit the public perception of ranger as Smokey the Bear, always on the alert for forest fires. “Fire control occupies a lot of a ranger’s time when it’s dry,” Mr. Johnson noted. “Fortunately for this park, the main visitor season doesn’t come during fire season, except for the few weeks in autumn when the leaves begin to fall. “In the summer, the forests usually won’t bum with a blow torch — everything’s so green. In the summer, the fires we do have are manageable fires. Sort of like having a flat tire at a filling station,” the ranger added, chuckling. High points in Ranger Johnson’s 40 years of service have been many. “I was around for the millionth visitor to the park. I’ve been at Camp Hoover when interesting people have arrived. Mr. Mondale spent a lot of time there when he was the vice-president, and I helped make the place ready for Richard Nixon a couple of times.” But the greatest satisfaction came not from proximity to the movers and shakers. “It was a good feeling — the best feeling —to run across somebody you KNEW had been hunting illegally in the park for quite a while, to finally catch them in the act and nab them,” Ranger Johnson said. Shenandoah was Bob Johnson’s only assignment during his 40 years in the Park Service. He doesn’t regret missing the glamour tours in the mountains of the American West or the wilds of Alaska. “There was a day when if you hadn’t been to Yellowstone, you just hadn’t been. But things have changed. A ranger has lots of opportunities at Shenandoah National Park,” he said. “And it’s a good place to raise a family,” interjected Mrs. Johnson. “That’s one of the reasons why we stayed in Shenandoah.” “Yes; this is a pretty good park assignment for folks,” the ranger continued. “You don’t have to punch a time clock. You’re out-of-doors a lot. For a long time, policies and procedures were pretty broad. You could structure your own time, just as long as you got the job done ... In my entire 40 years, there never was a day when I hated to go to work,” Mr. Johnson concluded.

Quoting former President Theodore Roosevelt, Gov. Baliles said conservation means development as well as protection. He praised those who had looked ahead and sought to protect the forests and ridges that make up Shenandoah National Park. While the governor spoke, a whitetail deer grazed in the sprawling Big Meadows area behind the platform. Intermittently, other smaller fawns poped out, seemingly oblivious to the (crowds or the commotion. Blueberries and other “pioneer species” fill the meadow, which Assistant Chief Park Naturalist Charles Anibal believes may have been a hunting ground for the Indians. A popular theory is that Indians created Big Meadows by continually burning trees and other vegetation. Then, they’d drive the game up the mountain and into the meadow, where they would be an easier target. wnen white settlers took over the meadow in the 1660s, they kept the area grazed with cattle. Because the park is a sanctuary for wildlife, no hunting is allowed on the property. Therefore, wild game thrives in the park and Shenandoah often has been called a bear nursery because of the increasing black bear population. The black-bear notion causes a lot of excitement among park campers and Gov. Baliles praised the park’s rangers for their courtesy — and patience — in answering the single most popular question: “How many bears are in this park?” Sen. Byrd cited the ruggedness and scenery of the park as its greatest attractions. With an increasing population, “it’s important that we have a park system where people can get out of these congested areas,” he said.

Cannon (703) 937-4700 two “rugged individuals and strongminded men” — his father, Harry F. Byrd, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt — who worked for the park. “They did not always agree on matters of public policy ... as a matter of fact, they seldom did,” Sen. Byrd said. “But they wholeheartedly supported the national parks association.” When ben. Byrd emphasized how much the park means to the “people of the Eastern Seaboard,” a man who perfectly fit his description appeared. Carrying a tent, stove, fuel, clothes and ample food and water supply on his back, John Pazdro from West Orange, N. J., heard about the 50th celebration as he was hiking up the Appalachian Trail. When an employee of a local radio station stopped to ask Mr. Paz dro how to get to Big Meadows, he asked: “Can I get a ride?” Since he stopped for the event, he also decided to take a shower and “pick up a few beers.” Two months and 850 miles ago, Mr. Pazdro got on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia and plans to follow the 2,145-mile trail to Maine. He decided to take off the entire summer and “go for it.” He’s seldom lonely on the trail, because there are plenty of other hikers, Mr. Pazdro said. In the Shenandoah National Park, he’s run into people from New Zealand and Australia and a 64-year-old multiple sclerosis victim who hikes on crutches. Portions of the trail cross the Skyline Drive in several places, making it “not as wild” as some other parts. Paine designs Liberty stamp The new Statue of Liberty postage stamp issued simultaneously by both the United States and France was designed by Howard Paine of Delaplane, father of Wakefield students Adam, Brent and Melissa Paine. Mr. Paine, a graphics artist, used for the Statue of Liberty stamp, a close-up view of the statue’s left profile in blue and red. He based his work on a photograph by Peter B. Kaplan, an artist noted for his bird’seye photograph of New York. The new stamp, which symbolizes the strong historic ties which bind France and the United States, was presented to President Reagan and French President Mitterand during opening ceremonies of Operation Sail on Governors Island. U.S. Postmaster General Albert Casey called the stamps “mini masterpieces” that would help document the statue’s centennial. Wakefield Headmaster William Lynn said that Mr. and Mrs. Paine have offered to re-design the school’s owl emblem, which appears prominently on its blazer crest, stationery and other official Wakefield items. Access Continued from page 1 5 against the taxpayers either,” Mr. Lane said, adding that he’d talked to many small landowners who fear that spiraling real estate levies will force them off their land. “If this is a big problem, let’s all work together to fix it.” Newbill Miller asked that Mr. McCarthy ascertain just what is acceptable access to the county’s handicapped people. “I understand the problems involved. We have a very dear family friend, 26 years old and in a wheelchair. He visits us regularly,” Mr. Miller said. “Who’s going to pay for the architect to draw up the plans?” asked E. P. Luke. “Do these peo pie know someone who will do it for free?” “That’s the board’s responsibility,” replied Mr. Lane, adding that architectural fees would have to come from county surplus. “I’d like the information (on price range) to come back to the board before we take any bids,” Mr. Miller noted. *>y consensus, tne board authorized Mr. McCarthy to meet with the handicapped advocates, contact architects for preliminary prices on barrier-free renovation and report back. By unanimous vote the ordinance setting proposed building standards for handicapped access was tabled pending that report.

They sit in complete concentration, their faces bathed in the green glow of radar scopes and their hands flying over keyboards, as they feed information into computers. They watch electronic moving pictures of aircraft flying over a sharply defined area of the Mid-Atlantic States. They keep track of moving blips, or target symbols, that represent airplanes on the radar screen. These are the controllers of Washington Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), operated by the Federal Aviation Administration, located in Leesburg, Virginia. Their job is the demanding and unforgiving one of controlling enroute Air Traffic. An enroute center controls air traffic from the time the aircraft leaves the immediate vicinity of an airport until it reaches the vicinity of the airport of destination. Washington ARTCC is one of twenty enroute centers located throughout the continental United States. Washington center is one of the busiest and most complex in the world. The heart of the center is the control room, a cavernous windowless chamber, with thick concrete walls. The Washington center employs 360 air traffic controllers and supervisors, along with 85 electronic technicians and engineers who keep the radar, computer, and other equipment functioning properly. On a typically busy day, the Washington ARTCC handles more than 6,500 aircraft and on the busiest day, more than 7,200 aircraft. In calendar year 1985, the Washington ARTCC controlled 2,035,000 aircraft. Washington ARTCC utilizes four rows of radar stations, which contain the 40 sectors into which the center's airspace is divided. On an average day, each of these sectors is manned by two controllers. One controls the aircraft on the radar screen, talking directly to the aircraft he is working and issuing control instructions. The other controller completes all the necessary coordination required between their sector and ° sectors surrounding them, ensuring that proper airspace is allocated for aircraft to transition between sectors: Controllers must maintain a minimum separation distance between aircraft they are controlling of at least five miles apart horizontally, and 1,000 feet vertically. All enroute air traffic control centers operate in the same manner. Each enroute center is divided into sectors, staffed with controllers that control the aircraft on their way. Each aircraft in a sector is represented by a blip or target symbol, with a printed data block alongside, displaying pertinent flight information. This data is received from electronic devices in the aircraft, continually transmitting coded signals on altitude and flight information to the air traffic control facility. These signals are picked up and relayed to the center by one of seven radar systems located within the center’s territory. The computer converts these signals into data blocks, and projects them on the screen next to the moving blip for the appropriate aircraft. At the same time, the computers automatically print out flight progress strips, containing all the current information, plus projected times that the aircraft will enter other sectors on its route of flight. While there is an undercurrent of tension watching controllers go about their work, the overwhelming impression is one of quiet competence and economy of words. Washington ARTCC is justifiably proud of the role we play in making the air traffic system of the United States the safest in the world. A HISTORY The beginning of air traffic control involved a man with a flag, located in a visible area, directing airplanes to land or take off. The first tower commissioned by the Federal Government was Washington-Hoover Airport. This-facility was used to control airplanes arriving and departing on two different runways, separated by a paved highway.This arrangement caused some confusion and delays, so they constructed a paved runway bisecting the highway, and installed a stoplight on the road, with a switch in the tower to control the use of the runway/highway. This arrangement proved unusable because motorists were inclined to run the red light when an aircraft was approaching, causing some interesting “near-misses.” Although the Federal Government assumed control and responsibility for air traffic in 1936, by 1941 there were still only 150 certified airport traffic controllers providing service to airplanes coming in and going out of a small number of airports. The evolution from men with flags to today’s environment of sophisticated equipment and procedures is one of the most dramatic of any profession. Today, air traffic control facilities at Washington Air Traffic Control Center, Washington, Baltimore, and Dulles Towers combine to serve air traffic needs of more than 13,000 aircraft each 24 hours.
