Last week, the Division of Solid Waste Management’s enforcement chief Ken Chestnut and regional consultant Harlan Rexrod inspected the privately owned and operated Clark landfill and concluded that the eight-acre site has capacity for more trash and so can continue operating past its scheduled closure date of June 30,1987. And in an accord approved after an executive session on Tuesday, adjacent landowners agreed not to sue the county, hauling contractor Community Trash or Clifton Clark for continued use of the site. In return, the board concurred that the landfill will not operate on Sundays and that use of the Clark property will cease December 1, 1987. Past that date, the county will be liable for a $1,000 per day charge for every day the dump continues. Further, if Rappahannock has another landfill open before the new December 31 deadline, then the county’s trash is to go there as soon as the facility is permitted. From the state s standpoint, there is no December 31 deadline. The Clark landfill has “sufficient area to continue to operate for an undefined period of time,” said Harry Gregori, director of the department’s Office of Policy Planning, in a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon. In a report dated June 4, Mr. Rexrode was more precise: three years worth of capacity remains. This new assessment is at odds with the findings of Robert Forman, who was the department’s Culpeper area regional consultant until a stroke prompted his retirement two months ago. Mr. Forman, the permitting agent when the landfill was established in 1977 and inspector for the facility over the next decade, noted dwindling capacity in his regular reports. Last year, he advised the Board of Supervisors that space for waste disposal would run out in Juhe 1986, although only three of the eight acres covered by the permit had been used, and recommended state approval for a 10-foot lift to give an additional year’s capacity strictly as an emergency measure. A closure plan for the private landfill was submitted and approved, with June 30, 1987, specified as the date operations were to cease. In an interview earlier this spring, Mr. Forman noted that the waste stream was heavier than projected which, he said, could lead to the landfill’s closing even before the deadline. On Tuesday, Mr. Gregori ducked questions on whether the former consultant had made an error in appraising the landfill’s capacity, “There’s a probtem with < life estimates of a facility. It doesn’t end on a certain day,” the policy director said. “It ends when it ends." With Rappahannock generating approximately 16 tons of trash per day, the difference between Mr. For Seal Kilpatrick for dw lUppMMMoc* rmn THE CLARK LANDFILL, as it looked in May 1986. Rt. 621 is at top left of the photo. man’s assessment and that of Mr. Rexrod and Mr. Chestnut works out to about 17,520 tons. Asked to explain the discrepancy, Mr. Gregori would say only that estimating landfill capacity is an imprecise science. He pointed out, however, that Mr. Forman’s reports “helped create the impetus for the rtumty to find fp alternative, a new landfill.” ' M Reviewing the county’s efforts to find a depository for its trash until the new site is permitted and developed, Mr. Gregori recalled that the {kwrd of Supervihad ***!■ of Waste Management: , • Continuing to use the Clark dump.' *’ ~ • Contracting with a private hauler to remove and dispose of the waste at a private landfill elsewhere. • Working out an exchange agreement with a neighboring county. The board rejected the second option when the single bid came in at $359,825, nearly $160,000 over what had been budgeted. As to the third, only Culpeper County was agreeable to even a short-term arrangement and that for only 120 days, provided Rappahannock takes one-and-a-half times the trash it brings once the new landfill here is operating AND pays the hauling fees to take its trash to Culpeper and Culpeper’s trash to So the board turned again to Richmond, asking fhe Division of Solid Waste Management if use of the Clark (See TRASH, page 14) Five announce interest in Hampton seat Nichols unopposed in Wakefield The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors will fill School Board vacancies in Hampton and Wakefield Districts at their meeting July 6, as the four-year terms of Randall Updike and Paul Nichols expire. At a legally required public hearing two weeks ago, the board heard nominations from the public. In making the appointments, however, the supervisors are not bound to choose from the names put forward at that hearing. Virginia law allows two methods of selecting School Board members: appointment by the Board of Supervisors, whose members are directly elected, or appointment by a Board of Electoral Trustees who are in turn appointed by the Circuit Court Judge. The state does not now permit direct election of School Board members. Since the change in Rappahannock seven years ago to appointment by the Board of Supervisors, the practice has been for the representative in whose district the vacancy occurs to formally place a name in nomination. In every case to date, the choice of that supervisor has been endorsed by his fellow board members, either unanimously or by majority vote. The following profiles are of the candidates who asked at the public hearing to be named as Hampton District’s representative to the School Board. Paul Nichols, the incumbent from Wakefield District, was the single candidate for the vacancy in that district. SYSTEM HAS IMPROVED “It’s a lot better school system than when I went to school,” said Sarah Brown, who attended the old Washington school until sixth grade and then the new consolidated elementary school before graduating from RCHS in 1974. “The children are being taught more subjects and they seem to be more interested in learning. The computers are a wonderful improvement. They just fascinate the children.” But though she sees improvement, Mrs. Brown feels there’s room for more. “Teachers need to understand the children better. I’m concerned about the reports I hear of verbal abuse - teachers yelling at children, telling them they’re stupid. I know kids need to be disciplined, but that’s no way to teach. The children are frightened, and I don’t think a child should be frightened of a teacher.” SARAH BROWN She said the system needs “more dedicated teachers” who don’t see teaching as just a job. “They know what the pay scale is when they come here, but then the very first thing, they turn around and want more,” Mrs. Brown charged. As a School Board member, she1 would “let the people know I’m here for them - for the parents, the students and the teachers - to hear their problems and complaints, and hopefully, to keep harmony among all.” Mrs. Brown was formerly employed at the Washington Post Office, the Rappahannock News and the Rappahannock National Bank. Married to Bobby Brown, a local contractor, she quit working to devote full time to her family. She and her husband have two children: Amanda, six years old, who will be a first grader at RCES this fall, and Bobbie Jolene, 14 months. Mrs. Brown is a member of the Washington Baptist Church, a Sunday school and Bible school teacher, and secretary for the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary. She is a frequent volunteer at the elementary school. A GOOD BOARD AT PRESENT Camille Harris, a Washington resident and active member of the RCES PTA, sees the makeup of the present School Board as a trememdous plus for the county. “We also have a group of involved parents, an active PTA at the elementary school. And of course, a lot of good, dedicated teachers.” Following the loss of the division’s two top administrators and its executive secretary, Mrs. Harris sees the administration as “neither a plus nor a minus right now. I’d like to see an administration interested in a good working relationship with the teachers and administrative personnel at both schools.” “That’s part of the challenge right now — to allow the administrators, teachers and parents to feel as though they can present needs and someone will listen.” The coming school year is not going to be an easy one, she added. “There’s no use fooling ourselves . . . from the standpoint of running the schools like a business, we have had a strong administration. It is going to be confusing.” If named to the School Board, Mrs. Harris said that “my first priority would be to assure that with the administrative changes, basic things stay stable ... we need to work with the new superintendent.” “Second, the members of the School Board need to be receptive to the superin CAMILLE HARRIS tendent’s input. Without a good superintendent to help the board, they are limited. The board should listen carefully to what he has to say.” Third, Mrs. Harris said she feels that the morale of the teachers in the county needs to be improved. There need to be more open channels of communication between the parents, teachers and administration, she maintained. Also, she said, “It’s very important that every child with every need has their individual needs met. That means average children, gifted children, remedial chil dren. We need to do a double-check to make sure that it’s not just hit-or-miss with these kids. There must be consistency — an assurance that their needs are being met.” Mrs. Harris said that she realizes "it would be preposterous to raise the budget by a large percentage per year. It directly reflects in taxes.” On the other hand, she maintained, “it would be irresponsible hot to raise the budget to take care of clearly evident needs.” Mrs. Harris suggested that one possible solution to the budget crisis might be to seek alternative, private sources of revenue to meet some needs. “It would be a. tremendous challenge — but what if we could present the supervisors with a budget which increases by only five percent instead of 26 percent? . . . I’m a taxpayer — I’d like to see the schools continue to improve . . . while not affecting the tax rate any more than absolutely necessary.” Mrs. Harris, who founded and was director of Sursum Corda —now the Child Care and Learning Center — has 14 years experience as a teacher and administrator in both public and private schools, including two years at RCES. She now runs two small, home-based businesses. She and her husband Pat Foster, a contractor, have two young girls. A CONCERN FOR QUALITY “I’ve been concerned with the school situation and the quality of education for a while,” said Peter Kreyling. “I feel this would be a good place to contribute.” (See APPOINTMENTS, page 14) PETER KREYLING

Mr. Pullen was seriously injured on June 18 when a dump truck loaded with asphalt backed over him as he was inspecting a paving operation in Fauquier County. The driver of the truck, Jesse Davis, 54, of Richmond, told Trooper D. P. Johnson Jr. that Mr. Pullen was in his blind spot and that he didn’t see him as he backed up to another piece of equipment. Apparently, Mr. Pullen did not hear the truck as it approached him because of the noise of other traffic on Rt. 28 at the intersection of Rt. 806 near Catlett. According to witnesses, Mr. Davis’s truck was not equipped with a warning device which sounds when the equipment is put into reverse. Although the devices are recommended and most construction equipment is fitted with them, they are not required by Virginia law, Trooper Johnson said. Trooper Johnson placed no charges in the accident.

According to the Hagerstown Almanack On July 2, 1776, the resolution for independence, drafted by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, was adopted by a committee including John Adams and which led to the preparation and signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Weather watch: Generally, temperatures will be average with precipitation below average. The month starts out fair and mild on the lst3rd with cooler and frequent showers on the 4th and 5th. Expect fair and warmer conditions 6-8 and 1112; storms 9,10 and showers 13,14. For the rest of the month look for fair but high temperatures 15,16; hazy and humid 21-24; and very warm and humid 28-31. The 17-20 and 25-27 periods will be changeaTomado watch: Be especially watchful the lst-3rd from the Upper Midwest down through the Delaware and New Jersey areas. Full moon occurs at 10:33 p.m. on the 10th and, because of summer’s higher temperatures which aid in drying of new-mown hay, is referred to as the hay moon by some and buck moon by others. The dog days traditionally begin on the 3rd and continue into August. In the garden, rotation planting will increase the yield of produce by making the most use of the available space. During these warm days think back 200 years to the time when our forebears suffered the heat of Philadelphia in a small room in Independence Hall, the windows closed and without the modern comfort of air conditioning, debating and arguing for weeks on end in the struggle to “form a more perfect union.” It was on July 16, 1787, when delegates from twelve of the original thirteen states, Rhode Island not attending, finally agreed on the Great Compromise between the larger and smaller states thus opening the way to the forming of our Constitution under which we have survived as a nation for the past two centuries.

ARB asks for ruling on flags, pennants . By LOU HATTER ■WVahamKkNvm Staff Writer Acting on a legal advisory written by town attorney Frank Reynolds, the Washington Architectural Review Board approved an application from The Inn at Little Washington,. but referred the matter to Zoning Administrator John McCarthy for a decision on a zoning question. Reinhardt Lynch, representing The Inn, explained that he and partner Patrick O’Connell wish to place four flagpoles on the front of their building, two on each of the center pillars. The 10-foot long silver poles with brass ball tips would be pitched at a 46-degree angle, set off at 30-degree angles from the front face of the pQlua. Two American flags, the Virginia state flag and the flag of the Relate et Chateaux hotel and restaurant guide would be flown, he said. (The Relate et Chateaux is a world-wide hotel and restaurant guide, based in France, to which The Inn was admitted last year. There are only 11 hotels and restaurants in the United States which are members of the prestigious organization.) Mr. Lynch added that, after having been granted four stars by the American Mobil Travel Guide, "we look to greater establishments for inspiration.” The Williamsburg Inn, also located in a historic district, is a five-star Mobil restaurant which flies flags in front of the establishment, he said. He added that, in the ftiture, The Inn plans to honor visiting dignitaries by replacing one of the American flags with the flag of the guest’s country during their stay. The idea met with unanimous approval from the members of the board and the small audience seated in the courtroom. "This is the first time flags have come up,” Chairman Carol Miller told Mr. Lynch. The members of the ARB said that they had no problems with the flags of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Virginia, but that according to tHe definition in the town’s zoning ordinance, "there is some question as to whether the Relais et Chateaux flag would constitute commercial advertising” and as such would require a special use permit from the Town Council, Mrs. Miller said. She read the following definition of a sign from the zoning ordinance: “Any-diapiayv of any letter, words, numerals, figures, devices, emblems, pictures, or any parts of combinations, thereof, by any means whereby the same are made visible for the purpose of making anything known . . . which display is visible beyond the boundaries of the parcel of land on which the same is made.” "We have to do this to protect the town, you, and others,” Jim Thomasson added. “Someone else could hang flourescent banners marking a business and say ‘Well, you let The Inn hang their (banner)’. “In logical and philosphical circles,” Mr. Thomasson continued, "there has always been a distinction made between signs and symbols. My opinion is that the flag is a symbol, awarded for excellence. Concert season ends with ‘bang’ The Front Royal and Warren County Community Band will present the final concert of its summer series on Friday evening, July 3 at 8:30. The concert, which is part of the 4th of July Old Fashioned Picnic sponsored by the Northern Virginia 4-H Center and the Front Royal Recreation Department, will be performed on the stage of the Front Royal-Warren County Ampitheater at the 4-H Center. , Musical selections will include a wide variety of patriotic tunes and marches, as well as many of the light concert and show times that have become part of the Band’s repertiore. A special feature of the concert will be a fireworks display planned to coincide with the playing of the “Stars & Stripes Forever” at the end of the program. Since its founding last September, the Community Band has performed five concerts for a combined total audience of more than 1200 local residents. The Community Band, which is sponsored by the Giles B. Cook Post . 53 of the American Legion with rehearsal facilities and some equipment provided by Randolph-Macon Academy, has an active membership of approximately fifty musicians from all walks of life and ranging in age from high school to retirees. Following the concert on July 3, the Band will resume its regular rehearsal schedule: the second and ’ fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the R-MA Band Room, July 14 & 28, August 11 & 25. Local musicians are always welcome to join the Community Band. Those interested should plan to attend one of the upcoming rehearsals. For more information, contact co-directors John Russell or Ed Richards at 636-9432 or 636-6081. “The Inn has no business signs,” he pointed out. “All of us have given directions to it from the street. The Inn has never had any interest in having business signs. My argument,” he concluded, “would be not to apply for a special use permit. ” Evelyn Willis pointed out to Mr. Lynch that, as a new board, the ARB is “feeling its way, trying to be fair.” It is perhaps, she added, beyond our interest. “We are interested in appropriateness.” Mrs. Miller agreed, saying, “the only thing we can do is approve whether the way you affix it is appropriate . . . Whether the flag is commercial or non-commercial is the question. That’s not up to us - we need a ruling by the zoning administrator. If it is not commercial, you may fly it by right. If it is commercial, it will require a special use permit from the Town Council.” Mrs. Willis asked Mr. Reynolds how the ARB is to distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate flags, banners or pennants. “You make a finding that this flag is appropriate to the town,” he replied. “So that when someone comes before you with a request for plastic pennants, you can say ‘No, that is not appropriate’. What Reinhardt said about the Williamsburg Inn” is support for the ARB’s finding, he added. Mr. Reynolds also told the ARB that “you don’t need to worry whether a permit is needed or not because (your decision) can’t bind the Town Council if they decide to deny a permit whether you approve of its appropriateness or not . . . What I recognize in almost all cases is that a flag is a sign or symbol because it is meant to convey a message. Even if you want to talk about those tri-corner plastic flags - they convey a message too: ‘Here is a used-car lot’.” “You’ve definitely got a hole in the ordinance,” he added. Mr. Thoinasson moved that the ARB approve the certificate of appropriateness, and the application was approved unanimously. Mrs. Miller suggested that Mr. Lynch contact Zoning Administrator John McCarthy for a decision on whether the flag would require a special use permit.

The money went for 10 electric typewriters ($3,750), alterations to the electrical outlets in the typing classroom ($2,000), a demonstration table for the science lab ($1,800), crash pads for both ends of the gymnasium ($1,000), boys’ basketball uniforms ($1,500) and 75 built-in locks for hall lockers. Superintendent Robert Estabrook said the remaining $43,979 is to be applied to the cost of fixed furniture for the high school expansion, specifically seats for the new auditorium and bleachers for the new gymnasium. However, that balance in the 1987 budget has not actually been expended and will apparently revert to the county’s general fund from which it must be reappropriated by the Board of Supervisors before it can be allocated by the School Board. John McCarthy, assistant to the supervisors, said that a check for $43,979 drawn on the school accounts had been written to the RCHS building fund but was returned after the county’s auditor ruled the transaction improper. Writing a check before a product has been received and examined and before the bill comes in is not an acceptable practice under auditing standards, Mr. McCarthy explained. In personnel action, the board accepted the resignations of elementary school assistant principal Betty Settle, kindergarten teacher Deborah Burrow and instrumental music instructor Kathy Hewitt. Mrs. Settle, a former RCES teacher who returned to graduate school for administrative certification, was hired as a first grade teacher. Also hired were Aney Massie as RCES librarian and Jeanie Dwyer as central office secretary. Mr. Estabrook reported that the School Board accepted bids from Oil Heat and Burner Service, Holtzman Oil Company and Morris Coal Company for supplying gasoline, fiiel oil and coal next year and approved the purchase of two new buses from low bidder Salem Quality Equipment at about $1,000 below what was budgeted for the replacement vehicles. The board also agreed to advertise two modular units for sale via sealed bids to be opened at the School Board’s regular meeting July 14. State grant aids RAAC production The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community has been awarded a $4,000 grant by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which will be applied toward the Blue Ridge Collaboration, a multimedia performance piece currently in production by local artists Sally Nash, Tom Espinola and Joel Hoyer. The production will feature original dance choreographed by Ms. Nash, music by Mr. Espinola and props by Mr. Hoyer which will be used both as backdrops and as parts of the dance. It is inspired by and based on The Gift, a novel by Louis Hyde. RAAC’s director, Ann Stephens, said of the piece, “It is beautiful. . . it’s just incredible.

Have a safe Fourth With the holiday weekend upon us, the thoughts of i everyone are riveted on enjoying it, whether at home with * family, in Washington with neighbors, or taking to the road to ‘ be with distant relatives or friends. We wish all our readers a happy and safe Fourth of July, but urge everyone to use caution and prudence in order to avoid happiness turning unexpectedly to tragedy. Every year, come July 5, the newspapers and broadcast media are filled with reports of deaths and injuries caused by careless handling of fireworks, mixing drinking and driving—or boating, and other mishaps. So, we join the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, the Virginia State Police and the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association in wishing the county’s residents a happy—and safe—Fourth of July holiday. All three organizations will be extremely satisfied to spend a quiet, uneventful weekend. , For our part, Happy Independence Day! r 1 A national dilemma By SEN. PAUL TRIBLE Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer As a member of the HouseSenate Select Committee investigating the Iran/Contra affair, I have listened day after day to a saga of venality, greed, and cloak and dagger fantasy as we trace the flow of diverted funds. Imagine private individuals negotiating with foreign nations in the name of the United States. We have found secret bank accounts totalling millions of dollars established for personal benefit and diverted Kinds financing the purchase of an airplane and a Porsche. The revelations iron the IranContra hearings, however, are but one instance of a growing host of national scandals. We appear to have lost our moral compass as a nation. We desperately need an infusion of idealism. It is as though our nation has been cut adrift from its moral bearings. The obvious distinction between right and wrong no longer seems to apply. It seems our behavior as a nation, and as individuals, is no longer guided by plain words like integrity and truth. This condition could well be our undoing. A democratic nation ulitmately rests on the character of its citizens. Gangel accepts offer; still no assistant By LOU HATTER BappahaaaadiNtws Staff Writer In a move analogous to a battlefield promotion, the county’s new assistant school superintendent last week became its superintendent, effective July 1. Dr. David M. Gangel was hired in May to replace Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell, who had resigned to accept an administrative post in Orange County. Then, early in June, Superintendent Robert Estabrook announced he was resigning to join the faculty of the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education. The School Board then offered Mr. Campbell the superintendent’s post, but he declined, sticking with his decision to accept the Orange Countyjob. Finding themselves in the unusual position of having hired someone who was qualified for both jobs, the school board turned to Dr. Gangel. At its payout meeting last Thursday night, the announcement was made that Dr. Gangel had accepted the superintendent’s post. “We’re quite delighted,” said School Board Chairman Beverly Massie. “We feel he comes here with ideas, that he will be a good influence on the school system. We are looking forward to working with him.” “We’re fortunate,” she added, “after having someone who has done the job that Bob Estabrook has done, to have someone coming in with whom we feel comfortable . . . someone of Dr. Gangers calibre.” The transition period, Mrs. Massie said, should not be as traumatic as some had feared following the loss of the county system’s two top administrators. “I’m looking forward to moving here,” Dr. Gangel said Friday. ‘There’s a lot to be said for a rural division. You can gc+ to know people personally - there’s an opportunity for personal contact across the board, with teachers, administrators, students, support staff. I feel most comfortable working with people I know.” Of his quick promotion, Dr. Gangel said, “Obviously, I was surprised with the offer. I was very pleased with the offer. It has been a career goal, my doctoral work was in that direction, and it is something which I have been pursuing.” Dr. Gangel said that he has not had the time to analyze the division’s situation, and thus cannot offer any analysis of the county’s system, or in what directions he feels it should move forward. The first priority, he said, “will be to get on top of the situation, to assess it clearly.” Before mapping a strategy, he added, he must determine the status of the schools, their staffing, the curriculum and the improvement projects. Mrs. Massie said that was her understanding as well. “He doesn’t want to make wholesale changes. He wants to make an evaluation first. We’ll let him make his decisions. We’ll work with him.” “I’m looking forward to my experience here,” Dr. Gangel concluded. “He’s going to fit in just beautifully,” Mrs. Massie agreed. Awaiting an assistant Mrs. Massie said that the board is “awaiting a decision” from an individual who has been offered the post of assistant superintendent. She explained that the board, consulting with Dr. Gangel, decided that to expedite the process, the county would not readvertise the assistant superintendent’s position. After discussion, a consensus was reached that there would probably not be any additional response to a second advertisement, she said. Mrs. Massie said that Dr. Gangel evaluated the resumes which were received from the first advertisement, from which he was selected. One other individual from a neighboring district was also interviewed on Dr. Gangel’8 request, she added. “We have made an offer,” the school board chairman said. “We are waiting for the individual to make a decision.” Rappahannock Heritage BRILLIANT SUNSHINE SUNDAY made for this spectacular view, looking west from Rt. 619 near Castleton. Letters to tlie editor Qualifications offered To the editor: I would' like to commend the newspaper on the coverage of the supervisors’ meeting dealing with the appointment to the School Board seat in Hampton District. The background coverage of four candidates was very well reviewed. I was a bit disappointed in the opening quote that I was stated as saying. It brings forth the impression that I am merely an “uneducated housewife.” I must accept some of the blame for this because when I approached my supervisor about the opening he did not tell me I would need to present a resume, a spokesperson, or a rooting section. I did attend the meeting unprepared and I may pay for this error. To explain, my statement “I don’t have as much education” was followed by a gesture to one of the previous candidates who had been introduced and her educatidnal background mentioned. I merely meant that I do not have a college degree as she does. I would like to state that I am a 1974 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, from there I worked for the U.S.P.S. in Washington under Carol Miller, then I went to work for the Rappahannock News when Sarah Latham was there, I then went to work for the Rappahannock National Bank which I left seven or eight years ago to stay home and start a family. My family and I are members of the Washington Baptist Church, and I am a member of the Washington Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary where I have held the position of secretary for many years. My husband Bobby is a successful building contractor in Rappahannock County and we have two daughters, Amanda (age 6) who will be attending first gride and Bobbie Jolene, who is just 14 months old. I hope that whoever gets the appointment can donate the time that it needs. This past year I have talked with many parents and their biggest concern was the welfare of their children and the way that they are treated. I think the appointee will need to get out there and see personally what goes on, and you need to be available and be sincere in what you say and do. I think that the majority of the teachers are good and have a good relationship with their children, but then you have some that don’t know the first thing about children. They don’t listen or care what the children have to say. I’ve been told that a good requirement for teaching should be that they are parents first, then teachers. Our children are the greatest blessing that God can give us. We are the shepherds to watch over His flock, so why not have the best for them? They are our future and I have great confidence in them. I would like to add one more thing and that is a whole-hearted apology to Mrs. Kilpatrick. I feel that I may have been rude to speak while you were voicing your opinion at the meeting. Please accept my sincere apology. SARAH BROWN Washington Under Attack! To the editor I’m under attack! At least it feels like that. People wanting information, telephones, directions and bathrooms, mostly ■ bathrooms. Service stations no longer can provide tourists with free bathrooms. In the county this requires running a pump and a good healthy source of water and who will clean the bathroom? For several years this problem has plagued and interrupted my normal attention to business. I’ve mentioned it to several people and then when Brambles opened up in town, there went my breakfast business and lunch wasn’t anything to write home about — but then it wasn’t very good anyway. Then I began to realise an advantage — the streams of people down my driveway looking for bathrooms disappeared. Don’t blink though - Brambles, providing the only public bathroom in town, closed up again and here come the bathroom seekers. I’m tom between understanding their need and being angry that I’m forced into choosing between paying the price of being a big-hearted Bertha or buying into the present ideal of conservatism and just telling myself “they aren’t my problem.” The state of Virginia can’t expect small businesses to enrich Virginia Power at personal loss. I have the perfect solution. Dr. Werner Krebser should donate the use of the Brambles Cafe to a “County Visitors Center” and at the same time provide a perfect location for the new paid Town of Washington secretary and a central location for county businesses to display brochures and other businesses information. (Shouldn’t we the people get a little advantage from a $40,000 hike in the budget?) The need for a paid position of this sort seems exaggerated for a town of a little over 200 people, that is until you have town business and can’t find anyone home. Dr. Werner Krebser seems to feel he is the county Saviour; he obviously is the county capitalist and with his insider advantages with the Board of Supervisors, who else should be in the position of “giving something back” and if he’s smart a few vending machines would provide a fair income. I’ve lived in the county 25 years - been in business almost 10 years and have observed a great deal and seen a lot of residents and businesses come and go. The outrageous phone bills and electric bills coupled with the need to travel vast distances to shop almost outweigh the beauty and tranquility of the area. However with careful planning and a little luck you can make it. We certainly need people helping people rather than people against people. How about it, Town Council? K. JOAN ST. CLAIR Washington Cruel and irresponsible To the editor: On June 21 my 11-year-old cat was injured with a BB gun pellet. The pellet was forceful enough to fracture the bone in her leg. My concern is not only the fret that this is cruelty to an animal, but that someone in Rappahannock cannot responsibly handle a gun. A BB gun is not a toy. Anyone using a BB gun should have a great sense of responsibility toward others’ property - whether it be trespassing on it, or shooting onto it, and toward human and animal rights to life. Who is to say a child could not be the next victim of someone’s cruel prank? I appreciate the Sheriff8 Department’s mutual concern in this matter. I am disappointed to think this incident could occur in Washington, Va. I hope no one else’s property, children, or pets suffer needlessly due to someone’s inconsideration and irresponsibility, j; SUSAN M. WITTL Washington Lives hang in the balance To the editor As a volunteer firefighter and one of a handful of cardiac technicians in the county, I would like to respond to Nelson Lane’s ignorant comment regarding the women who dispatch the fire and rescue calls. These ladies need to be far more qualified than simply having a familiarity with CB radios and a good education. They need first an extensive knowledge of the geography of the county in order to know not only which companies to dispatch, but also to be able to decipher the caller’s directions. It’s not unusual for callers not to be able to precisely describe where they live and to give directions such as "the Smith place - they’ll know, they picked my father up last year,” or “turn off the Front Royal road by the brick barn and come back about two or three miles.” By having a knowledge of the county, the dispatcher can often translate these directions into more workable ones for the responding units, enabling precious minutes to be saved. The dispatcher must also have a working knowledge of the specialized equipment available at the various departments: If there is an automobile wreck in the Castleton area with several injuries and a person trapped - how many units are needed to respond? Which is the nearest medic unit? Who carries the extrication equipment? Is it in working order? And while the dispatcher is seeking to answer these questions, someone’s life could be hanging in the balance - as dependent on her correct judgement as upon that of the fire and medical personnel when they arrive on the scene. Whoever takes the emergency call has to be part psychologist and part linguist in order to handle callers who are hysterical or intoxicated, and glean the relevant information from them in a coherent fashion. The dispatcher should be able to help the caller deal with the emergency until help arrives. Mr. Lane, would you know the correct information to give the mother of a choking youngster; a child whose babysitter is unconscious; a handicapped elderly person whose house is on fire? Would you want that responsibility? Dispatchers need to be able to coordinate information between ambulances and hospitals when radios aren’t working (a not infrequent occurrence), know how to access medevac helicopters from various agencies, be able to locate the medical examiner, contact Hazardous Material teams, interface with surrounding counties for mutual aid, keep track of responding units —and sometimes to do this for two or three unrelated calls at one time. And all of this has to be documented. , In the meantime, the sheriff’s department’s calls need to be dispatched and the female prisoners at the jail still need to be cared for. Now I’ll grant you, Rappahannock does not handle the volume of calls (yet) of, say, Fauquier or Culpeper, but calls do tend to come in clusters and each dispatcher has had the opportunity to be on duty when all hell has broken loose. I know I personally appreciate no end having a competent dispatcher on the radio. It’s so much easier to concentrate on the medical problem or to plan an attack on a fire if you’re not worrying about finding the site to begin with and if you have a good idea of what you’ll find when you get there. Embarrassing and potentially tragic situations such as showing up at a fire with the brush truck only to find a house fully involved, or being on the wrong section of one of the many local roads with numerous route numbers while someone is breathing their last on another section, can be avoided with able, knowledgable, caring dispatchers. I’ll be more than happy to lend my pager or monitor to anyone who would like to listen for a week to hear what goes on. Or to drag anyone out of bed who wants to share the "excitement’’ of spending their sleeping hours helping their neighbors instead. I would also suggest that the best way for Mr. Lane to gain appreciation for the dispatchers would be to try it himself. If he does, I hope that I have no need of fire and rescue services for that period and that I don’t have to run Mila dispatched at that time! Let mte close by applauding the job Rappahannock’s dispatchers do and expressing my appreciation. It isn’t a job that I would willingly take, even given my familiarity with the system. Thank you, ladies, for your help time and time again. SHERRY HAMILL Flint Hill

Technical Eye: Notes on national security Note One: Fiber Optic Bugs The cinder block, painted a symbolic red, sits on a rubber tube in a Virginia university lab. It’s part of an experiment by several electrical engineering students who were intrigued by a news report that fiber optic bugging devices may have been planted in the new U.S. embassy in Moscow. Though little is known publicly about this technology, experts in electronic surveillance have said that it’s possible to put optical fibers - flexible, hair-like glass fibers that transmit light - in the mortar or plaster of buildings, allowing conversations within to be heard and taped. The fibers can transmit without emitting tell-tale frequency signals. “We wanted to see if we could use optical fibers to do that,” says Joseph A. Wiencko Jr., associate director of the Virginia Center for Innovative Technology’s fiber and electro-optics research facility in Blacksburg. The research center’s focus, however, is not on electronic surveillance, but on designing and using optical fibers for communications, and for detecting stresses in materials that make up airplanes, bridges, buildings and other structures. In the experiment, optical fibers were attached to a cinder block and to a laser that sent light through the fiber. The other end of the fiber was connected to a machine that changes light signals to electrical ones. The light-to-electricity converter was in turn linked to a machine called a digital storage oscilloscope. Another machine makes sound waves that reverberate through the block and flex the fibers, affecting the way light passes through them. (The rubber tube that the block rests on helps eliminate the effect of other vibrations in the room.) In the oscilloscope, the light signals that have been converted into electrical signals are displayed as waves on a tiny TV screen, and stored on a computer disk for analysis. When amplifiers and filters are connected to the fibers, the original sound waves may be recreated and heard, whether they’re from a clandestine conversation or, in this case, a high-pitched monotonous whine. How accurately the sound is transmitted depends on how the fiber is designed and made. The aim of the experiment is to study how light traveling through the fiber changes with respect to the sound that causes the fiber to vibrate, Mr. Wiencko said. While research at the fiber optics center isn’t aimed at embassy eavesdropping devices, much of the basic work could conceivably be applied to their development, he added. Real Estate Eileen M. Day realtor . ss.ss UP, UP AND AWAY If you think that the continuing rise in real estate values is a recent phenomenon, think again. Since 1850, the fair market value of real estate, land and improvements has been increasing at a compounded rate of about five percent. To illustrate this point more vivdly, if Abe Lincoln’s cousin bought some property in 1850 for $1,000, that same property would be worth one million dollars today. In current times, real estate has appreciated in forty-eight of the last fifty years. Appreciation is even more dramatic when you realize it is tied to leverage in real estate. That means when you buy property, you usually use other people’s money to do so. If you put 20 percent down ($20,000) on a $100,000 home it appreciates at 5 percent, the increase in one year is $5,000. This actually represents an increase of 25 percent on the cash invested. As these returns are compounded over the years of ownership, the significant financial rewards of home ownership are apparent.

TECHNICAL EYE Indeed, the state of America’s electronic surveillance technology and other aspects of the national security system are the focus of current controversy. There is concern that America is lagging behind the Soviet Union in electronic surveillance technology, with one expert describing U.S. equipment as being of World War II vintage. Note Two: “A House of Cards” In another twist to the national security debate, a law professor at George Washington University claims that the government’s security clearance methods for preventing leaks of state secrets simply don’t work. The structure that has been built up "so lovingly and laboriously over the past four decades” to protect classified information is “a house of cards on shifting sands,” Harold P. Green said in a paper that was presented weeks before the "sex for secrets” scandal was uncovered at the U.S. embassy in Moscow. - Mr. Green said the security ^clearance process "qqtually lets in more people who are potential security risks than it keeps out.” The clearance process tries to predict an individual’s future trustworthiness on the basis of a personal history statement and the background investigation, the most important part of the process. But it is doubtful that adequate information can be obtained from the investigation that would allow potential security risks to be identified, he claimed. There is no assurance, Mr. Green said, that even someone who has lived “a life of total purity and probity” before being cleared will not become untrustworthy as a result of pressures or blandishments in the future. The other major deficiency in the security systems is in the implementation of supposedly strict "need-toknow” procedures. These allow employees with appropriate security clearance access to specific items of classified information only if they have “an official need to know or see the information.” But the “need-to-know” principle is more myth than reality, Mr. Green said, "and in any event is honored more in the breach than in observance.” This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the July 6,1967, edition Senior Master Sergeant Maury W.

Vickie Pittard, the new Methodist minister, joins a vanguard of lady lawyers, blacksmiths, veterinarians and county court clerks in the assault on jobs usually reserved for men. Ministering to the Methodist congregations in Flint Hill, Sperryville, Washington and Huntly is Miss Pittard’s first full time appointment. Miss Pittard said she is looking forward to working with*., her new Rappahannock parishioners. “People have time for people here. I’m glad to see that.” A check Tuesday afternoon of a fire which smoldered along the mountain ridge near Chester Gap the previous day indicated that everything was “ok,” according to Forest Warden Tippy Jenkins. Fire units from Chester Gap, Flint Hill and Front Royal responded after being alerted by area residents. However the fire was inaccessible to fire trucks so four-wheel drive vehicles were used as far as they would go, then firemen and other volunteers hiked the remainder of the distance. 5YEARSAGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the July 1,1982, edition The Rappahannock County Garden Club went on a field trip for the group’s June meeting last week.

Of those killed, 33 were drivers, eight were passengers and three were pedestrians. Only four were known to be wearing seatbelts; 34 were not, and in three cases it was unknown if seatbelts were worn. Ten occupants who were killed were ejected from the vehicles, according to police reports. There were 38 fatal crashes, 14 involving alcohol and one involving drugs. Single vehicle crashes where the vehicle ran off the road and either overturned or struck a fixed object accounted for 55 percent of all fatal crashes, and alcohol and/or ex cessive speed were the primary factors. These statistics are a grim reminder of the consequences of illegal and unsafe operation of a motor vehicle, a State Police spokesman said. Motorists, the State Police recommended, should drive defensively, within the speed limit, and use their seat belts to avoid becoming another traffic crash statistic.

It is so-called because it was rung on July 8, 1776 to summons the citizenry for the terse announcement that the Declaration of independence had been adopted. Today, it remains the greatest symbol of a nation free from tyranny in government and intolerance in religion. .that nation is America. But one fact often overlooked is that when the historic bell was originally cast its makers turned to the Bible, to Leviticus, for the words inscribed around its contour: “Proclaim Liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. *' What a beginning! What a heritage! What a privilege to be a son or daughter of Freedom's Land. What a blessing to be an American. How great is our Symbol!!!! coprr#* 1M7 KMtHUn ttmmtft* Sxm P O.

Tax withholding decreases July 1 Beginning July 1, employers will be withholding less State income tax from employee paychecks, announced Tax Commissioner William H. Forst. Last month, the Department of Taxation issued new withholding tables to employers throughout the State. The new tables are necessary because the amount of state taxes withheld after July 1 will decrease for most employees. The decrease is due to the Tax Reform Legislation passed by the 1987 General Assembly, who made significant changes in the personal exemption, standard deduction and top tax bracket. Some employees, in fact, Mill no longer have any tax liability. Under the Virginia Tax Reform Act of 1987, the filing threshold was raised from a flate $3,000 of Virginia adjusted gross income to $5,000 for single persons and $8,000 for married couples. People whose annual income is below these threshold amounts Mill not need to pay State income tax. It is estimated that up to 450,000 taxpayers will not need to pay Virginia income tax because of this change. Employees who are affected by the new filing threshold can file a new Withholding Exemption Certificate, Form VA-4, with their employers to prevent further income tax withholding for the remainder of the year. The Tax Department has revised Form VA-4 by combining the old VA-4A (for claiming exemption from withholding). Employees not affected by the change in the filing threshold do not need to file another VA-4. The Department of Taxation requires employers to maintain a separate list of the names and social security number of all employees who claim exemption from Mrithholding. Employers can obtain new VA-4 Forms from the Department of Taxation by calling (804) 257-8055.

It s barbecue time! “y&ANORA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics The 4th of July is here already! My, where has the summer gone? The long weekend lends itself well to having family and/or friends over for a cookout, as well as coming to the town of Washington for the Fourth of July celebration. If you cook out often, you will find it helpful to keep your equipment stored together for easy access. This might include a pastry brush, long handled metal tongs, spatula, fork for turning meat, long handled spoons, pot holders, matches, salt and pepper and trays. Fire tools might include tongs for handling hot charcoal and a sprinkler of some type to help control the fire. Although the charcoal grill comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, styles and prices, many people are electing to use a propane gas grill. Getting a head start on the cleanup when using charcoal will save both time and effort. Line the inside of the grill with heavy foil. Heavy foil works best because it is stronger and less likely to tear and make a mess. When you’ve finished the grilling and the ashes have cooled, you can bundle up the foil and throw it away - ashes and all. An ounce of prevention is worth a lot of scrubbing. Spray the cold grill rack with a non-stick vegetable spray coating before cooking. There are several ways to build a charcoal fire. One way is to make a pyramid of charcoal in the center of the grill, saturate the coals with charcoal starter, let stand one minute and ignite. The fire will be ready in about 45 minutes. To save fluid, one or two pieces of charcoal can be soaked in a small amount of charcoal starter in a tin can. The use of a No. 10 can (1 gallon size) with the top and bottom removed provides an alternative method for starting a fire. With a beverage can opener, punch holes near the bottom of the can to allow air to enter. Place the can in the grill, fill it with charcoal, add starter, fluid, and ignite. It will take about 30 minutes for the fire to be ready. You should then remove the can and spread the coals. The lava used in gas grills also needs to be heated for 30-45 minutes before cooking. The temperature at which the fire should be maintained is determined by the type of food to be cooked. To test the temperature of the fire, hold your hand over it in the same position that the food will be. See how long you cart hold it there. If you can count from “one thousand” to “one thousand t#0,” you have a relatively hot fire. “One thousand three or four” is a moderate fire, and “one thousand five or six” is a slow fire. The temperature may be regulated by raising or lowering the rack, removing coals, or by sprinkling with water. A common fault is to use too much fuel so that the foods burn before they are cooked. A variety of meats may be cooked over charcoal. Since tenderness of the finished product is more important, the cuts to be cooked must be chosen wisely. Beef cuts suitable for cooking on the grill include steaks and ground beef. Less tender cuts as round or chuck can be cooked on the grill if done properly. They will be more tender if cooked medium-rare than if they are cooked well done. Marinating several hours helps to tenderize them. Pork cuts suitable for grilling include chops, spareribs and back bone. Lamb chops and burgers grill nicely. Cook the meat to the desired degrees of doneness. Steaks and chops may be tested by cutting into the edge to check for preferred color. Remember that pork should be well done. Some cooks prefer to cook pork bake bone and chicken in the oven for 30-60 minutes before placing on the grill. This will speed the cooking time outoide and prevent possible burning. The following table shows the type of fire that should be used for some of these cuts: For steaks and ground beef the fire should be hot; kabobs should be cooked over a medium fire; pork chops, spareribs and chicken should be cooked over a slow fire. Chuck steak Marinate chuck steak in California Marinade 3-4 hours or overnight. Grill over hot fire until desired doneness, turning once. California Marinade 1 cup salad oil 3/4 cup soy sauce (optional) 1/2 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup prepared mustard 11/2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon pepper 1 clove garlic Blend all ingredients. Barbecued chicken Brush 2 quartered broiler chickens (1 1/2 to 2 lbs.) with barbecue sauce. Put chicken on grill 8 to 10 inches from coals. Turn chicken every 5 minutes, basting with sauce. The chicken should be turned often to keep the sauce from scorching. If you can't watch the chicken carefully, don’t add the barbecue sauce until the end of the cooking time. Cook 30 to 60 minutes until done. Serves 6 to 8. Barbecue Sauce 11/2 cups tomato juice 1/2 cup water 1/3 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper Mix ingredients together in a sauce pan. Bring just to a boil. Keep the sauce hot for basting. Clean-up of the grill racks can often cause much grief and burning tempers. Here are a few tips that may ease this problem: - Remove the rack from over the coals as soon as you’re finished cooking. Cover both sides of the rack wtih wet paper towels or newspapers, and let stand while you eat. Usually the burned-on food will wash right off. • To remove stubborn burned-on food from your grill, sprinkle dry baking soda on a damp sponge and lightly scour the grill rack. • Before using any cleaning products or abrasives to clean your grill rack, read the cleaning and care directions supplied with your barbecue equipment. Next week’s article will feature vegetable or wrap-up meals cooked on the grill. Do you have a favorite recipe or technique that you would like to share?

Exercise important for healthy kids By DR. MARGARET GUTGESELL Rappahannock N«w» Contributinc Writer Exercise is one of several factors that may contribute to heart health. Other factors including eating a well-balanced diet, avoiding cigarette smoking and heavy alcohol consumption. Your heart is a muscle and, like the other muscles in your body, gets stronger with certain kinds of regular exercise. Endurance or aerobic exercises, such as walking, bicycling, swimming, running, vigorous soccer and basketball are examples of this kind of exercise. Endurance exercises require the large muscle groups, such as the muscles in the legs, to work in rhythmic motion. The heart has to pump blood with oxygen to these exercising muscles. This causes the heart rate to increase during exer else so that the oxygen can get to the muscles where it is needed. Each person has a “target heart” rate that is best for him or her. The target heart rate should be reached during endurance exercises to achieve physical fitness and maximum benefit from the exercise. This rate is dependent on age as well as some other factors. In time the heart becomes stronger and more efficient in delivering the oxygen. This causes the resting heart rate to gradually become lower. Other types of exercises such as weight lifting, wrestling, and some aspects of football are called static or isometric exercises. Generally, these exercises increase muscle strength but don’t increase cardiovascular fitness. A balanced exercise program often has both forms of exercises. Children and teenagers don’t need to attend a health club to get the kinds of exercises necessary for heart health. Children should participate in exercise activities because it’s fun and it makes them feel good about themselves. Team sports such as youth soccer are good for young children. Studies have shown that adults who exercise regularly are more likely to have participated in sports as youngsters than those adults who do not exercise on a regular basis. This provides yet another reason for parents to encourage their children to become involved in some type of sport they eiyoy. It will likely be of lifetime benefit. Dr. Margaret Gutgesell is a pediatrician at the Children’s Medical Center at the University of Virginia. Make plans early , drive with C.A.R.E. KiCUMUNU - Anticipating heavy traffic volume on Virginia’s highways during the July 4 holiday weekend, State Police are encouaging motorists to make their travel plans well in advance and to drive withC.A.R.E. Operation C.A.R.E. - an acronym for Combined Accident Reduction Effort - is a state-sponsored national program designed to reduce motor vehicle crashes, injuries and fatalities during the holiday periods of Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day. Virginia’s involvement in the program includes increasing the number of troopers available to patrol certain sections of interstate, primary and secondary roads where statistics and experience indicate increased traffic volume and accident frequency can be anticipated. “While it’s true that holiday weekends are generally no more ‘deadly* in terms than many other weekends,” said Colonel R.L. Suthard, State Police Superintendent, “the number of vehicles using our highways certainly increases, and congestion along mqjor thoroughfares is not unusual. It is critically important that motorists allow plenty of time to reach their destinations, use their safety-belts and refrain from drinking while driving. “We believe that by raising the visibility of troopers on certain sections of major highway and encouraging motorists to comply with the state’s traffic laws and regulations, programs such as Operation C.A.R.E. contribute significantly to highway safety during major holiday periods.” Last year, 20 people lost their lives on Virginia’s highways over the July 4 period. Two of the 20 were pedestrians, two were riding motorcycles, and nine were determined to be alcohol-related. Only two of the 16 killed who were automobile occupants were wearing seat belts. During the three-day period, troopers assisted 3,327 stranded or otherwise distressed motorists and arrested or issued summoneses to 6,035 motorists. The summoneses included 3,430 for speeding, 561 for reckless driving, 100 for driving drunk and 1,346 for other hazardous violations.

Rappahannock Polo Club triumphs in benefit match RappahMmock Newt phona/Loii Hatter TAKING A SHOT for Rappahannock is Daniel Fernandez, playing number 3. Teammates Bill and Chet Fannon (left) watch. By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer It was a perfect day for polo. A clear blue sky, bright sunshine and a field in prime condition set the stage for the Rappahannock Polo Club to score a lopsided 11-8 victory over the Los Indios Polo Team. Though the score does not reflect the upset, it was just that, since Los Indios began the match with four goals awarded by handicap. Led by Bill Fannon (0 goal), playing his first match of the season, Rappahannock consistently outrode and outshot the visitors. Mr. Fannon’s son Chet (1 goal) played number 2 for Rappahannock, while Daniel Fernandez (4 goal) played the number 3 pivot position. Number 4 for Rappahannock was Phillip Staples, a three-goal player and Rappahannock’s defensive standout. Los Indios had a father and son combination from South Carolina leading its offensive attack. Bobby Knoth Jr. (0 goal) played the number 1 point position. Backing him up at number 2 was his father, Bobby Sr. (1 goal). Mr. Knoth Sr. played a pivotal role in breaking up several Rappahannock scoring opportunities. At number 3 for the visitors was Raul De Dios (4 goal), who turned in an excellent performance at the critical playmaking position. Playing number 4 for Los Indios were Juan Salinas and Rodrigo Pino, who alter nated at the defensive position. Both are 0 goal players. Mr. Fannon got the match off to a fast start, breaking away from the pack to score two goals for Rappahannock in the first chukker. Mr. Fernandez, at the number 3 position, contributed two more goals in the second chukker, erasing the visitors’ handicap and bringing the match even at four. In the third chukker, Mr. De Dios, playing number 3 for Los Indios, managed to break Rappahannock’s scoring streak, knocking in two goals. A hard-riding, aggressive polo player, Mr. De Dios used his four-goal handicap to good advantage, accounting for all four of Los Indios’ tallies. Just before the half Mr. Fernandez, who plays with a four handicap as well, took a feed from Phillip Staples (playing number 4) and put Rappahannock to within one goal of Los Indios. The half ended with Los Indios in the lead, 6-5. In the fourth chukker Mr. Staples, a three handicap player also riding his first game of the year following an injury, tied the game with a good shot in traffic, bringing Rappahannock even at six. The tie was short-lived however, as Mr. De Dios put Los Indios back in the lead with a single tally late in the fourth chukker, putting the score at 7-6. That score proved to be almost the visitors’ last gasp, however. Daniel Fernandez tied the game at 7 as the fifth chukker ended with a shot fed by Chet Fannon. It was a chukker marked by outstanding defense, with both teams scrapping and not allowing their opponent to break away for any clear shooting opportunities. The final period was all Rappahannock’s, however. Chet Fannon, with several outstanding feeds by his teammates, broke out of the milling pack to slam in two goals during the period. Mr. Fernandez contributed two as well, bringing his total for the match to five. Mr. De Dios did add one last tally for the visitors during the final chukker, but it proved too little, too late, as Rappahannock ended the match up by a score of 11-8. About 175 people attended the $25 per person benefit match, which was followed by a barbecue catered by Ed Gentry of Culpeper. The crowd feasted on roast pork with two sauces, fruit, vegetable and spinach salads, scalloped potatoes, ranch beans and chocolate-pecan pie with ice cream for dessert. The dinner was served under a giant multicolored circus tent nestled next to a grove of trees at one end of the polo field. “The event went extremely well,” said Pat Aitken, co-chairman Annual Rate Annual Yield Now you can get the highest CD rate in the market.

French Slaughter Jr. and Beth Perlmutter. From left to right are the Los Indios team (Rodrigo Pino, Raul De Dios, Juan Salinas, Bobby Knoth Sr., Bobby Knoth Jr.) Congressman Slaughter, Ms. Perlmutter, the Rappahannock Polo Club (Bill Fannon, Chet Fannon, Daniel Fernandez, Phillip Staples). with Liz van Wambeck of the Hospice of the Rapidan’s fundraising committee. “We’re very, very happy with the day. It was a good match, and everyone loved the food.” Mrs. Aitken said that although there were a number of people who had attended the first benefit last summer, “we had a lot of new people.” She said that quite a few had never seen a polo match before, and that everyone seemed to find it interesting and enjoyable. “It was a very successful event for the Hospice,” she said. “I hope that we keep going and growing. We’ll see you next year!” The worst misfortune that can happen to an ordinary man is to have an extraordinary father. — Austin O’Malley NOT FOND OF POLO is Rachel Sharp, and she found Tippy to be equally disinterested. * NOW OPEN* ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Easy Tone Toning Solon i ft* In Waterloo Center /M 77 A West Lee St. Warrenton, VA 703-347-9095 -■CH'’ Mon.- Fri. 9:00-800 p.m. Sat. 8:00-2:00 p.m. Senior citizens discount WEEKEND SPECIAL Whirlpool iinirri Whirlpool £900 OC Model ACP052XM 9*09.99 5,000 BTU/Hr. • Fan Only setting that allows unit to be used as fan for cooling on milder days • COMFORT GUARD® Control to help maintain the comfort level selected • Insta-Mount™ installation for fast installation • Adjustable Thermostat • 2-way Air Direction RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS COOP Sperryvllk, Va. 987-8555 5KJuly 11 The fourth annual Harmony Hollow Foot Race will be run Saturday, July 11, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center south of Front Royal on Route 604 (the Harmony Hollow road) off of Route 522. This year’s race is for the benefit of the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center and is being sponsored by the People’s Bank of Front Royal. Road construction and recommendations from participating runners prompted a decision to change the distance and course for the race again this year. Race officials hope to maintain the new format for the race for the years to come. This year’s race will be a five-kilometer run and will be on a much flatter course than in previous years. There will be no big hills at the beginning and end. The fairly flat out and back course will start at the athletic field parking lot, go slightly down hill at the beginning in an eastward direction toward Route 522. The turnaround at 1.55 miles will be on flat, new pavement. Splits will be called at the one mile, the turnaround, and 2.1 miles. Water will be available at the start/finish and halfway point. Plaques will be given to the top three runners overall in the male and female divisions. The top three runners in each age group (female and male) will also receive plaques. Overall winners are not eligible for awards in their age groups. The awards ceremony will be held at the swimming pool at 10 a.m. All runners will receive a T-shirt; race results will be mailed to participants; showers will be available to all runners; runners will be allowed to swim free of charge after the awards ceremony and there will be refreshments at the end of the course. ' Registration on the day of the race ($8.00) will begin at 8 a.m., as will packet pickups of those who preregistered. For additional information contact Earline Omdorff, race chairman, at 635-4549 (work) or 636-6888 (home).

ARB (Continued from Page 3) lowing additional applications at last Thursday’s meeting: • A16 by 20 foot addition to Claybert Smoot’s accessory building. The building, including the existing cinderblock, will be covered by German siding, painted white to match the house. The entire roof will be covered with an off-white asbestos shingle to replace the dark shingles now covering the roof. • Three signs for Hook and Crook Associates, the building on Main Street owned in partnership by Frank Reynolds and Charles Tompkins. There will be a sign on the front of the building for Mr. Reynolds’ law office, a sign with directional arrow on the side of the building directing visitors fo Mr. Tompkins’ business entrance at the rear of the building, and a third will be a “No Parking, Thoroughfare” sign which will be hung on a bracket from the side of the building. The lettering will be Baskerville Old-Face, white with a dark outline on a taupe background. The application was approved, conditionally, upon the issuance of a special use permit by Town Council. “Usually, that should be done before the application comes to us,” Mrs. Miller observed. “I have to admit, I forgot that I needed one,” Mr. Reynolds replied. • An application from Peter Skowronski to reshingle the roof of his house on Blue Ridge Avenue. The color of the asbestos shingles is to be “Timberblend. ” • Additions to the board-on-board fence being constructed by Dean and Linda Morehouse. The placement and construction of the fence will remain the same but a storage closet for gardening supplies and an arbor will be added. • An application for temporary “No Parking” signs from the United States Postal Service, represented by Mrs. Miller in her capacity as Washington’s Postmaster. She explained that constant use of the Post Office’s four reserved parking spaces in front of the building by people conducting business is causing a traffic hazard, with cars double parking and backing out into Main Street. Also, she said, complaints have been received from elderly and infirm customers who have been forced to park their cars elsewhere and walk to the office. Mrs. Miller added that the limited parking is in force 24 hours a day, since the post office lobby is open all night. Mr. Thomasson replied that he felt many people are not aware of the parking restriction outside regular post office hours. She added that once the signs are in place the Postal Service will request the Sheriffs Department to ticket vehicles parked illegally, or perhaps have them towed away. “People might think it’s nitpicking, but it’s a safety issue,” she said, adding that the Postal Service is in the midst of a major campaign to stress safety for both employees and customers. The two blue and white signs will be placed on each side of the four spaces. Permanent signs more appropriate to the town may be substituted later, Mrs. Miller added. • Tentatively set a work session with Zoning Administrator John McCarthy on the proposed amendments to the Historic District Ordinance for Wednesday, June 24 at 8 p.m. at the Courthouse. Fourth (Continued from Page 1) the evening’s program at his Avon Hall home, both requested that no fireworks of any description be brought onto the grounds. Special traffic regulations will be in effect for the entire day. Gay St. will be completely blocked to traffic, although the Mount Salem Ave. intersection will be kept open. Mount Salem Ave. will be one-way headed out toward Rt. 211, and only residents who live on the street will be allowed to come into town from Rt. 211. Jett St. between Main and Gay Sts. will also be blocked off and open to local traffic only. There will be no parking allowed on Rt. 211 business on either side from the Washington Fire Hall up to Gay St. The Postal Service also issued a reminder that the four reserved spaces in front of the Post Office are still reserved, even though the office is closed for the holiday. Portable toilets will be provided for the crowd on the monument grounds next to the Courthouse, as well as several other locations in town. First fun run set for July 9 Fauquier County Parks and Recreation and the Fauquier Track Club will cosponsor four summer fun runs, with the first scheduled for July 9 at Great Meadow in The Plains. The race will be five kilome NUGGETS OF TRUTH Dm Friends: By the grace of God the Family Worship Center opened its doors three years ago in Washington, Virginia. From the time the Lord laid it on my heart to the present, our vision has been of a fellowship, united in the love of Jesus Christ, interceding for all the citizens of Rappahannock County, meeting the spiritual needs of its members, and blessing all with whom it comes in contact. We have been blessed abundantly with fine neighbors in this lovely county and rejoice in Jesus that his message of salvation encompasses the spirit, soul, and body. We are a group of believers, not perfect but realizing that God is still working in us, who know the Bible to be his inspired word. Believing that Jesus is the same "yesterday, today, and forever” we know that he still works as he did when he was here on earth. “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"; and having made Jesus one's Lord, (and pending His soon return), God wants believers everywhere to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”. The fun gospel of the kingdom of which Jesus spoke is taught at Family Worship Center. We strive to hear and do what Jesus commanded. We believe the family is of utmost importance to God and seek to strengthen it from a Biblical perspective. We come together to worship, receive from God, and be enabled to give to others in love. Salvation, healing, the gifts of the Spirit and other New Testament experiences are available from God to all who trust Jesus. If you do not have a place to worship where his uncompromised Word is taught, please come to taste and see that the Lord is good'. God Mess you one and all. We would love to pray with you and help you in any way we can.

Dedicated teachers are the most important thing about a school — they need to feel they have support, that they are important.” Also, he would stress “an increased emphasis on academics.” Though he admitted he does not know enough about the current situation of the school system to offer specific suggestions for change, Mr. Kreyling said, “It’s something you have to get into and learn the specifics.” As to his qualifications, Mr. Kreyling said, “I had the benefit of a high quality education, which has meant a lot to me since. I have worked at several schools, and have gained a feeling of the staffs perspective.” As a contractor and small business owner, he added, “I appreciate the financial requirements and considerations — the requirements of the schools, the funding requirements, the tax situation.” “I’d just like to help serve Rappahannock County and do what I can to make it a better place,” he concluded. Mr. Kreyling is a building contractor based in Rappahannock County. During his childhood in Japan, he attended the American School in Tokyo. He received a BS from Drexel University, majoring in electrical engineering with a minor in counseling psychology. Before moving to Rappahannock, he served as an audio-visual technician and counselor at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf and at Glaydin School in Leesburg. TEACHERS A PLUS In a small school system like Rappahannock’s, “kids don’t get lost in the cracks,” noted Alex Sharp, ap ALEX SHARP praising the strengths of the county’s public schools. “It’s a small enough school system, a small enough community that teachers are able to maintain contacts with parents.” Rappahannock has a corps of excellent experienced teachers, and in its public schools children are exposed to different types of people and all segments of society, according to Mr. Sharp. To improve the system, he’d try to find ways to persuade more good teachers to stay longer. “And I’d like to reverse the exodus of collegebound kids to private schools.” As the School Board’s representative from Hampton District, Mr. Sharp said he would try to locate private funding sources for the schools. “There have got to be other companies like Potomac Edison out there,” he said, in reference to the utility which recently donated computers to the schools and is now conducting a training program for teachers on their use. “I’d look to big businesses for help.” As a businessman, Mr. Sharp said, “I have experience working with a very tight budget under less than ideal conditions.” The same management skills developed in that setting are equally appropriate for a School Board member, he noted. He conceded that his experience with Rappahannock’s schools is at the elementary level. MBut I learn fast. Basically, I’m interested* in having some input into the education my children and the rest of the children in Rappahannock will receive.” Mr. Sharp, a resident of the county for 13 years, holds a degree in economics from the University of Virginia. With his wife, Rose Ann, a former special education teacher at RCES, he manages 400 acres of apple orchards. They also own and operate Skyline Packing House and Cold Storage and employ up to 80 people at the peak of the harvest season. The couple has two children: Lauren, a first grader at RCES, and Rachel, three years old. TURNOVER A PROBLEM Former school teacher Diane Wood sees the high turnover rate among Rappahannock’s teachers as the school system’s most serious weakness and "the people who are involved with the schools” as its greatest strength. “In assessing strengths, I’d start with the students,” she said. “They come in year after year, so full of hope. They’re such friendly people to work with.” Next come the parents, “and the people who aren’t parents, who put so much into the schools, attending meetings, volunteering, fund raising, getting the high school expansion program underway,” Mrs. Wood continued. She also singled out the teachers “who stay year after year” and “the experienced administrators at both schools.” The small size of Rappahannock’s school system could also be judged a strength, she said. “That small size can facilitate communication within the system and between the system and the community.” The high teacher turnover rate is a serious weakness because, Mrs. Wood said, new teachers lack an understanding of this unique county. “It’s so important for teachers to get a real feeling for the places the children are from - Chester Gap or Gid Brown Hollow - and to know and realize who the children are. Then they’ll be better able to meet their DIANE WOOD needs.” Ranking just below the turnover rate in importance is the perception that the public schools are not challenging. “Parents are putting their children in private schools without giving our public schools a chance,” she maintained. This saps the public system, taking away students who could be role models and parents who could be strong advocates of quality education, Mrs. Wood said. To address the first she would promote a pay scale that “shows the county’s appreciation of teachers who stay by rewarding them for experience.” To correct the second, she would work towards an exchange program with Wakefield. “There are good ideas at both schools. I’d like to see the teachers from the two schools meet and share, those ideas. That would be a beginning,” she said, adding that it could be expanded to involve students in cooperative, non-competitive projects. Mrs. Wood would like to nee the public schools become more of a focal point for the community, with the classrooms used nights for extended education or for entertainment, arts and cultural programs. “The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community has made a good start in that direction. Trash (Continued from Page 1) site would be prohibited after June 30 should it be judged to have capacity remaining. “We said the site could be used as long as it met the permit requirements,” Mr. Gregori reported. Leonard Joyce, the county’s engineering consultant, concluded that there is space at the Clark site, the state’s representatives confirmed, his findings,' and according to Mr. Gregori, that satisfied those permit requirements. Unlike the extension of the landfill secured by Mr. Forman last year, the space is not a lift for on-the-ground disposal, with the trash to be covered with dirt, but rather a new trench location below the area now being used, Mr. Gregori reported. “Local politics aside,” he said, referring to a suit threatened earlier by adjoining landowners if the Clark landfill operates past June 30, “it’s the best option to take. ” Mr. Gregori confirmed that his office has been contacted by neighbors of the Woodville landfill concerned about possible contamination r of ground water. “We’ll do everything in our power to ensure that it operates properly,” he said, adding that “there are problems with any kind of site.” While maintaining that the regulations “on the books” governing landfills are “exactly the same” today as they were in 1977 when the Clark dump was established, he conceded that the county’s current trash depository has neither a trench liner nor a leachate collection system. Both are now required for new landfills, but as a policy matter rather than by regulation, Mr. Gregori explained. He also noted that permit submission criteria enacted since 1977 now set the tests which must be performed on proposed landfill sites. In addition, privately owned and operated landfills must now meet financial assurance requirements. These requirements will be applied to the Clark landfill, Mr. Gregori said. This means that Clifton Clark must post a closure bond of at least $8,000 and a post-closure bond yet to be determined and provide lia The Old Mill Antique Shop Routes 255 and 723 Millwood, Virginia 22646 Liquidating our inventory at a substantial discount Specializing in Early Formal and Country Furniture and Appropriate decorative accessories.

According to John McCarthy, the board’s assistant, Community Trash will be paid $10,000 a month to provide and maintain dumpsters and haul solid waste to the eight acres on Rudadll Mill Road, and Clifton Clark will get $1,000 a month for the use of his property for solid waste disposal. Both agreements will run through December 31,1987. Supervisor Nelson Lane, who represents Stonewall-Hawthome District where the dump is located, was the single vote against the contractual arrangements. But Mr. Lane voted with his fellow supervisors in unanimously approving the waste exchange agreement with Culpeper County, intended as a back-up in case the new December 31 deadline arrives before the new county landfill is ready to receive Rappahannock’s garbage. “I’d like to express gratitude, on behalf of the Board of Supervisors and the citizens of Rappahannock, to Mr. John Shafer and the co-owners of the adjoining property and to Mr. Clifton Clark for agreeing to the continued use of the existing landfill,” said Mr. McCarthy. “They’ve certainly put personal interests aside to act in the best interests of the county.” Eileen M.

Scenic Parkway Just a stone’s throw from home is the magnificent Blue Ridge Parkway—a popnUgaummertime attraction. More than 400 million visitors have traveled the unique 469-mile mountaintop recreational Blue Fidge Parkway. It is the most heavily visited National Park in the United States.. Some visitors take short trips-hiking, enjoying a picnic, or finding a favorite overlook as a respite from their daily routines. Others sample the different districts with long tours, or camp overnight, or even spend full vacations exploring the variety of natural resources and events along the Parkway and in corridor communities. It was during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1933 and in the depths of the Depression, that the concept of the Parkway was bom. While on a visit to the Shenandoah National Park to observe a Civilian Conservation Corps Camp, Virginia’s Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr., suggested to the President that a route similar to the Skyline Drive under construction in the park, be extended to connect the Shenandoah National Park with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. The crest of the Blue Ridge Mountain chain would be the most logical route. The convenient political vehicle for such a project was just becoming available-The National Industrial Recovery Act-which provided for the Public Works Administrator to prepare a comprehensive program of works that would include construction, repair, and improvement of public highways and parks. President Roosevelt’s approval of Senator Byrd’s suggestion led to an initial appropriation of $16 million for the scenic highway. The road was to be a joint project of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the state of North Carolina, and the U.S. Government. The states were to obtain the land for the right-of-way and the government was to provide the construction money. After the corridor was selected, the states began negotiating to obtain the land. The Blue Ridge Mountains had been lived in for almost 200 years. Obtaining rights-of-way involved talking to the mountain property owners one at a time. Many of these people wanted the road, but as a common highway to use to go to market. There was some disappointment and resistance when the nature of the non-commercial parkway was defined. Construction was not a continuous process, rather a section her, one there. The first ground-breaking began on September 11, 1935, at the Virginia-North Carolina state line. The last 10 miles around Grandfather Mountain are being completed this summer.

Crossroads Town The Town of Front Royal, according to the Front Royal-Warren County Chamber of Commerce, owes its birth to the crossing of trails. The town grew up where the trails from Manassas and Chester Gaps met at the foot of the Blue Ridge near the mouth of Happy Creek. The town’s history, it is said, illustrates the observation “a bad beginning means a good ending.” Historical chronicals say that “all the wild and lawless spirits of the surrounding county flocked into the little hamlet,” then known (appropriately) as Helltown. Peter Lehew, a persecuted Huguenot, had fled from France to America concealed in a hogshead, and in 1754, settled at the future site of Front Royal. He bought 200 acres “lying on both sides of Treato Happy Creek” and divided the land among his sons. In 1778, the town was incorporated as Front Royal. The name is explained as follows: In Colonial Days, a giant oak, the royal tree of England, stood in the public square where Chester and Main Streets now join. There on Muster Days was drilled the local militia, composed of raw recruits slow to learn military commands and maneuvers. On one occasion, the sorely tried drill sergeant became so exasperated by the clumsy efforts of his troops and their failure to follow his command that he hit upon a phrase all could understand and shouted, ‘Front the Royal Oak.’ Among the spectators was a Mr. Forsythe, who t had been a professional soldier, and was \ so amused by the officer’s coined order ' that he and his friends found much sport •; in telling of the occurrence, repeating Front the Royal Oak’ until Front Royal i was the resulting derivation. It is not known how many soldiers I in the Revolutionary War came from the ! Front Royal area, but certainly her sons j must have constituted a majority of j Buck’s Minute Men, whose youthful captain, Thomas Buck, later built the handsome Bel Air homestead, the oldest brick structure in Warren County. It is also known that men from the area fought under Daniel Morgan, whose Virginia riflemen could “pick off captains at double the distance of common musket shot,” went with George Rogers Clark into the vast Northwest to conquer the empire. Bishop Francis Asbury, famed in history as “The Prophet of the Long Road,” included Front Royal in his preaching itinerary in 1804 and 1805, recording in his diary that the town “contains about 60 houses, a Methodist See ROYAL, p. 9 Main street hi Front Royal.

In the Shenandoah region, for example, can be found a number of classically-designed 18th and 19th century homes, some of which served headquarters for famous Civil War generals. Among the historic home sites in the region that are open to visitors: ■ Abram’s Delight, Winchester. “A delight to behold” was Abraham Hollingsworth’s 1729 frontier cabin site beside a bountiful spring. His family was to prosper here for more than 200 years. In 1754, the log cabin was replaced by the existing stone house, with walls two feet thick. In that time and place it was conspicuously grand. Lord Fairfax, Gen. Dan Morgan, Washington, Lafayette and other notables were entertained here. It is well-furnished with Hollingsworth and other 18th century pieces. ■ Belle Grove, Middletown. Around this classical early Federal (1794) limestone mansion was fought the Civil War Battle of Cedar Creek, which claimed 6,000 lives. Later it became the headquarters of Gen. Phillip Sheridan. Names of Union soldiers can still be seen on attic walls. A working farm in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Belle Grove fea Lures Craft Days and many other events interpreting rural folklife. II Bushong House, New Market. This handsome clapboard house was in the center of the May 15, 1864, Battle of New Market in which the Virginia Military Institute corps of cadets fought as a unit and distinguished itself. Members of the Bushong family watched the battle from the basement window, and later took in and nursed the wounded from both sides. The house, open June 15 through Labor Day, is now part of the New Market Battlefield Park. area STAFF PHOTO/SHERRILL GRAY CM!

Digging Into Man's Past The nugor focus of the Thunderbird Museum and Archeological Park is the history of man in the Shenandoah Valley. Located seven miles south of Front Royal, the museum is on a 3,000-year-old site where archeologists continue excavation activites throughout the summer. Museum exhibits of Indian tools and scenes of technological changes through the years represent almost 12,000 years of human history. The museum looks out across the South Fork of the Shenandoah River toward Massanutten Mountain. When man first came to the area, the mountains were snow-covered year round, and nowextinct animals, such as mammoth, mastodon, and long-homed bison, grazed on the valley grasslands. Millions of years before, oceans and shallow seas covered what was then a vast plain. Museum exhibits depict the amazing changes in topography and environment wrought by thousands of years of erosion. the former Southern Railway Deport, was originally built as a steam pottery. Inside the museum, exhibits are 18th and 19th century articles in authentic condition. Although the emphasis is on crafts practiced in a farming community, memorabilia of a small town are preserved. There is also a collection of Indian artifacts and fossils. The Strasburg Museum is open May through October, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Admission is $1 for adults and 50 cents for children. !

Town History ^ ROYAL, From p. 4 Chapel, an Academy, a mill and several stores.” In 1836, Front Royal became the cgunty seat of the newly created Warren County. At that time, the town was prospering as a wagon manufacturing center, gaining such reputation that her shops found it difficult to meet the demand. In those ane-bellum days, the first railroad was built into the Shenandoah Valley, making its grand entrance by way of Manassas Gap and Front Royal. When the first train puffed into town on October 10,1854, crowds of jubilant citizens heard the president of the railroad proudly proclaim that, “The iron horse of Manassas today takes its first draught of limestone water.” In the war-tom 1860’s, Front Royal was a crossroads town of strategic military importance, making contact with Luray and the upper valley on the south; with Winchester and Harper’s Ferry to the north; and with eastern Virginia by way of roads through Chester and Manassas Gaps, and especially the vital Manassas Gap railroad. The town saw much of the armies contending for the valley, and General Robert E. Lee and part of his forces passed through enroute to and from Gettysburg. On their return, General Lee and his staff stopped by Bel Air to rest. The Battle of Front Royal, May 23, 1862, is distinguished in history as the opening battle of General Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson’s famous Valley Campaign. As part of McClellan’s plan to capture Richmond in 1862, General Banks and 10,000 men distributed in this section. His left wing, under Col. John Kenly, was stations! at Front Royal to protect large military stores, the strategic railroad, and the Riverton Bridge. General Jackson, determined to capture Kenly, cut Banks off from Winchester, then attacked him from the rear. By a forced and circuitous march, he reached Front Royal on May 23, and from the present site of Prospect Hill Cemetery, opened fire on the surprised Federals below. After a temporary rally, the Federals were driven across the two branches of the Shenandoah and on to Cedarville, where Kenly gallantly but vainly attempted to check the flight. On came Jackson’s galloping horsemen, down the road and through the fields, leaping fences and firing to the tune of the Rebel Yell. Escape was impossible. Six hundred Federals and a whole section of artillery were captured by only 250 Virginia cavalrymen, who had charged so impetuously and so opportunely that their number was reported to Banks as 3,000. Col. Kenly’s surrendered sword was later presented to the Confederate Museum in Richmond. Belle Boyd, renowned Southern spy, sometimes used Front Royal as her base of operations. Just before the battle, she was visiting her aunt, then proprietress of the Strickler Hotel. The cottages behind the hotel were Col. Kenly’s headquarters, and Belle hid in a closet there, listened while the Federals planned an attackon Jackson, and then slipped out to carry her information through the enemy pickets to Jackson. Mosby’s Rangers added much to the fame of Warren County, for it was here that the Mosby-Sheridan filed originated and reached its boiling point. Some of the Rangers attacked what they thought was a Federal foraging party near Front Royal. It turned out to be the whole of Sheridan’s cavalry, and in cutting their way out of the desperate situation, some of the Rangers fired at a Federal officer who had fallen from his horse. The officer’s death so incensed Sheridan that he ordered Mosby and his band exterminated, and that the first “payment in kind” come through General Custer who, under the cruelest circumstances, executed six Rangers captured in battle. They were paraded through the streets of Front Royal with ropes around their necks and hanged upon the hill just north of town. There was not a store or a business place left open in Front Royal at the end of the war, but with energy, courage, and resourcefulness, her impoverished citizens counteracted the worst that Reconstruction had to offer them. Agricultural, industrial and cultural forces : united to build the modern city of today. Victoria’s Station Just a few steps from Front Royal Depot, you will find Victoria’s ^Station.
