those affected will find some measure of comfort in knowing that they do not grieve alone. People from all walks of life in our Commonwealth, these United States, and across the world share with you the shock, confusion, anger and despair. You are not alone. The people of this Commonwealth and these United States stand in unity with the Sikh community. As we remember the lives of the departed and pray for a swift recovery for those healing from the attack, our hearts go out to their family members, loved ones and all those affected by this terrible tragedy.
A daughters thanks
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to say that my dad is a police officer. My dad is a K9 sergeant and his name is Bryan Courtney. He was the one who was attacked by Clyde Burrell. On the night of July 8th, when my mom, Cindy, came back home from the Emergency Room after she had seen my dad, my mom asked me, Do you want to see your dad? I said, Yeah, and me and mom rode with Captain Clint Keller to Warren Memorial Hospital. So I was there to see him that night. And now I look at dad and think WOW, hes made an amazing recovery! For those of you who are concerned about my dad, he is OK, except his right thumb still is purple, his shoulder hurts, and his right eye is still bloody. Luckily, dads corneal abrasion has healed for the most part and the stitches that were in his head were taken out on Aug. 3. I thank the vacationers from Kentucky and citizens nearby that came to my dads rescue. I also thank the nice gentleman who wrote to you guys and whose letter was published. His name is Paul Jaffe. Paul, thank you for the nice comments

about my dad. Dad thought it was very nice too. Please publish this letter because I want people to know what I wrote. THANK YOU, Madison Courtney (age 11) Bentonville Commonwealth of Virginia, I extend my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of those who lost their lives in Wisconsin as well as all those who survived that horrific act of violence. Sikhism is a religion of peace, tolerance and understanding of all peoples, and all should admire the Sikh communitys spirit and resilience. While many are still coming to grips with the deep emotions stirred in the wake of such a senseless tragedy, it is my hope that all
Sincerely, Robert F. McDonnell Governor of Virginia (Governor McDonnell sent the above letter to members of the Sikh community the afternoon of Aug. 10. The Sikh Association of Central Virginia held a Candlelight Vigil to remember those who lost their lives in Wisconsin and to pray for the well being of those who survived. The vigil took place Friday evening, Aug. 10, at the Bell Tower at the Virginia State Capitol at 7:30 p.m.)

early and again headed out in the boat. They had a successful day catching plenty of fish so Romney said to the others, This is such a great spot, we need to mark it so we can come back. Portman agreed, and proceeded to etch a mark on the side of the boat. What are you doing Rob? asked McDonnell. Marking the spot, replied Portman. Dont be stupid! snapped McDonnell. What if we dont get the same boat next time? So McDonnell and Portman were both sent packing. Sitting around the campfire that evening, the remaining men began talking. So Marco, said Romney to Rubio, what did you do about that old car I heard you were trying to sell - the one that had 50,000 miles on it? Well, Ill tell you, but you must keep this to yourself, whispered Rubio. I took it to a friend who owns a car repair shop. He turned the odometer back 00,000 miles and said I shouldnt have any problems selling the car! Really? asked Romney. Well how much do you think youll get for it now? Oh I didnt sell it, answered Rubio proudly. Why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it! And Rubio was sent home. The following morning, Romney and Christie set off to hunt, but soon it was clear that the possible future leaders of the free world were totally lost. Now dont panic, Romney said reassuringly to Christie. I know just what to do. Were supposed to shoot up into the air three times and someone will hear us and come with help. Okay, said Christie. So he shoots three times into the air.
They waited an hour, but no one showed up. So Christie shot three more times, but still no help arrived. Bewildered, he tried this again and they waited another hour. Eventually, Christie started to look a little worried. As he tried again, he said to Romney, It had better work this time Mitt, were down to our last three arrows. And Christie was sent home. The final day of the trip, Romney and Ryan spent it fishing from the riverbank. Suddenly, the game warden jumped out from behind the bushes. Immediately, Ryan threw his fishing rod down and started running through the woods at full speed, hotly pursued by the game warden. After about a mile, Ryan collapsed to catch his breath and the game warden finally caught up to him. Okay pal, lets see your fishing license! demanded the warden. Ryan pulled out his wallet and gave the game warden a valid fishing license. Well, whats the matter with you? asked the astonished the game warden. You have a valid fishing license - you didnt have to run from me! Yes sir, I did, replied Ryan. Mitt back there - whos on his way home by now - well, he didnt have one. And thats how Paul Ryan became Mitt Romneys running mate!

Ready to get back to work - damaged digit or not, Sgt. Bryan Courtney gives us a thumbs up as wife Cindy looks on
By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report The Front Royal Police Department hosted National Night Out on Tuesday, August 7, from 6-9 PM in the Gazebo area of East Main Street in historic downtown Front Royal. National Night Out is a crime prevention initiative celebrated across the nation, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and co-sponsored by the Front Royal Police Department. The Front Royal Police Foundation sponsored the band Souled Out, who played the entire evening. After some pretty avant-garde chromatic tuning that Souled Out band members seemed to be jamming with at times, the Warren County High School Band opened the festivities at 6 PM with the national anthem and some rah-rah music to get everyone going. The event is seen as promoting a strengthening of the law enforcement-community partnership bond. And it was great to see FRPD Officer Bryan Courtney with son Nathan and wife Cindy at the event. Courtney looked great, with just a few remaining facial bruises and a patched thumb about 10 days after being attacked by a suspect while responding to reports of someone exposing themselves to passing motorists on the northside of town on July 8. It seemed to us an especially successful event, perhaps with community awareness of the importance of local law enforcement and that community-police relationship brought to the forefront of everyones mind by Sgt. Courtneys encounter with a large and possibly intoxicated or unstable suspect.
Jason Lethcoe introduces 26th District state Senator Mark Obenshain to some heavy artillery. Lethcoe, who helped man the Tactical Unit display, used some improvised tactics in coming to aid of fellow officer Bryan Courtney on July 28.
Over 60 vendors engaged in family safety education with lessons in stranger danger, Neighborhood Watch, safe casting with fishing equipment and safe food handling; not to mention feeding hungry people from stands including Two Fat Butchers BBQ and Tony Ts Apple Farm apple strudels and more mmmm, food. There were also free McGruff backpacks for the first 00 children to visit the VIPS booth. Target, a national sponsor, had lessons in bicycle safety and gave away a bicycle and document shredding was available by TrueShred to help keep your affairs secret and prevent identity theft. Among those addressing the crowd were Front Royal Mayor Tim Darr, FRPD Chief Richard Furr, who is retiring at the end of the month, 6th District State Senator Mark Obenshain, FRPD Community Relations Specialist Janice Hart, among others. AND Souled Out got everyone on the good foot.

Animal world
Kathy Brugh gives Shaline and Lalique some TLC time at the shelter and she is working hard to find a permanent home for this duo of Arabians.
By Malcolm Barr Sr. Warren County Report On a weekend last month, I recalled the arrival in Front Royal precisely two years earlier of two mares, Arabians, the very day their time ran out, the day they were to be euthanized. So, on the spur of the moment, I visited them at the Julia Wagner Animal Shelter. They came to the fence seeking handouts; I had none, but sneaked a kiss on the nose of one of them while the other strutted away in apparent disgust. My fault! I remember well, in my second term as president of the Humane Society of Warren County (HSWC), the early morning telephone call from former shelter executive director Carol Ann Fox, describing the plight of Shaline and Lalique, victims of an estate disposal sale near Charlottesville. A dozen horses were part of the estate and the heirs demanded their disposal, by adoption or the abattoir. Their longtime veterinarian found homes for all but two of the Arabians, then began desperately calling neighboring counties for help. The buck stopped with Carol Ann and me - the girls, as they were to become known, came from afar but what were we here for but to provide shelter to animals in need? They arrived by truck three hours later, around noon, and so began their new lease on life. The two bay mares have been at the shelter ever since. Despite earlier successes in placing several large animals, including other horses, a Shetland pony, a big ole mule, a goat or two, Lalique and Shaline inherited problems not of their making--the death of a doting owner, of course, but also the sudden economic downturn in our town and the nation. People today cannot afford to keep their own horses, never mind adopt them into their pastures, said a volunteer at the shelter the day I stopped by in July. And nor would we have been able to step forward if not for the fact the HSWC, with help from Cedarville Ruritan Club and a group of individual volunteers, fenced off about an acre of its property and built a run-in shed specifically for horses. Over 4 months, folks have looked even volunteered in a couple of cases to take the girls but none ultimately came through with the forever home the Arabians needed and deserved. Then along came a Fairy Godmother to take over what my knees refused to allow me to do feed the girls, keep their shed and pasture clean, and more. For the last thirteen months, local horse fancier Kathy Brugh has given care, training, cleaning and feeding of the two animals, while searching every known Internet site and local farms to find a permanent home for the two orphans. Meanwhile, Shaline and Lalique have collected quite a fan club. People, businesses and nonprofits have donated funds specifically for the care of the horses. It was quite a milestone when they became a line item on the shelter budget, joked Kathy Brugh while she encouraged the girls in their exercises -- swiftly cantering on command at about 0 mph around the perimeter. Kathy is there, in back of the animals shelter, four days a week on average, and if youre lucky enough to be there too, the horses provide one of the best free shows in the county!

Asleep at the Wheel, the Grammy award winning Western swing band, will be at the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival on September 2, at 7 p.m. For tickets or more information, go to www.musicfest.org or call (540) 459-3396.
Sarah Hasnain Special to WCR Have you ever seen a wheel try to reinvent itself while its still rolling? The nations most famous western swing, boogie and roots band, Asleep at the Wheel, has done just that, making live shows an exquisite treat for concert goers. Lasting more than 40 years and having more than 80 members associated with the band, Asleep at the Wheel remains the king of the genre, constantly reinventing their signature sound and improving the music. I have seen all of the changes the band has been through these past decades and with all of that, we have encompassed amazing growth, Ray Benson, the bands famous leader and front man said. The reinvention began when new vocalist Elizabeth McQueen invited comparison with the classic female vocalists of the bands earlier era, while fiddler singer Jason Roberts gave the band a second male lead

voice to complement Bensons immediately identifiable baritone. Its the changes with the vocalists and different sound techniques that make watching Asleep at the Wheel even more breathtaking at a live show than listening on a CD. Thats the deal. Every night we are always looking for something new for our audience to hear. It is what separates us from many other swing bands, Benson noted. They initially started in the genre of Americana roots and country but as time progressed, they later switched over and remained to be a western swing band. It just slowly evolved that way. We all became proficient in our instruments and because of that, we were able to enlarge our palette and use different vocals. In addition, they also take insight from their predecessors, making sure their audience never forgets that their forefathers helped them shape the western swing band they are today. On our album, Willie and the Wheel in which Willie Nelson was our guest collaborator, we zeroed in on the western swing from the 1930s and 40s as opposed to the modern swing we hear today. It was definitely a great change from our past

Im not sure waiting a month would change my mind. I think this is the wrong location Im not going to support this. - Planning Commission Chairman Mark Bower on applicant request for a delayed vote
Chairman Mark Bower, left, and Doug Rosen were part of a tough crowd.
By Roger Bianchini Warren County Report On Aug. 8 the Warren County Planning Commission added its unanimous opinion to that of the Front Royal-Warren County Economic Development Authority on a request that would allow poultry abattoir to be added to county uses on industrially-zoned land and that opinion was NO! Abattoir is a polite way to say slaughterhouse. The request from NONSUCH IV, LC for a zoning amendment adding poultry slaughterhouse to uses permitted by Conditional Use Permit on Industrial land in Warren County would allow Ayrshire Farm to expand its current plant in the Kelley Industrial Park from a transfer and shipping poultry operation to a transfer, slaughter and shipping operation. Representatives of the company lauded its process as a humane method of mass execution of chicken, turkey and other game foul that eventually make their way to our lunch and dinner tables. The birds are stunned first so they dont know whats happening after that, a company rep assured county officials of the fowls level of perception at the time of death. However the notion of first this, then possibly other slaughterhouses in the midst of county industrial
An all day musical extravaganza, silent and not-so-silent auctions, raffles and a general good time went all day and night at the Lucky Star Lounge on East Main Street on Aug. 4. The benefit was in support of Wagfoot drummer Mike Grove, right, who was facing colon cancer surgery the following week. Mike backs up, from left, mom-inlaw Dee, sister-in-law Lorie and wife Hallie in tying up Lucky Star owner Trevor Lipton with raffle tickets How many you want, Trev?

This is the facility of our choice [for that expansion], Fallon replied. But with no hard answers as to why the fowl slaughter operation couldnt be expanded in Loudoun or how much waste might get into the municipal sewer system and river, the commission consensus was negative. Applicant attorney Fallon suggested tabling the vote for a month to allow the company to research answers, rather than face a no vote based on unanswered questions. Im not sure waiting a month would change my mind. I think this is the wrong location Im not going to support this, Bower said, starting a domino effect from his colleagues. I agree with Mr. Bower. I dont believe this is the place to start weakening uses for our industrial sites, Rosen chimed in. Stickley said his reasons were more technical, focusing on the projected increase in numbers of slaughtered birds going through the plant, as well as associated increases in truck traffic in and out. I dont see any advantage to Warren County its not going to create a lot of jobs; there has been a lot of opposition, Lorraine Smelser added. Where is it going to end? Robert Myers asked, completing the bandwagon rush toward unanimous voice votes recommending denial of both the zoning and CUP requests. Now it moves to a vote of the board of supervisors following a yet to be scheduled public hearing there. And Shenandoah District Supervisor Richard Traczyks explanation at the previous days supervisors meeting to potential callers on the issue to direct those calls mostly complaints apparently to Logan because the proposal was in front of the planning commission is no longer valid.

Commonwealths Attorney Brian Madden for verification of that opinion. Mr. Madden was in agreement that no crime had been committed and if any photos had been obtained I could not demand they be turned over, Bauserman wrote. When he went to relay Maddens opinion to Dominguez, he found she had left police headquarters. Contacting Officer Keller by radio, Bauserman discovered Dominguez
was back at Democratic headquarters with her daughter and Keller in tow. Bauserman informed Keller that the commonwealths attorney had verified their opinions. Officer Keller then advised the situation was about the same and I should come by the headquarters. Upon my arrival I located all parties and saw that the mother was still unhappy with the situation and still wanted me to locate the photographer and retrieve the photos. Further
investigation revealed the subject that may have taken the photo(s) was Roger Bianchini of the Warren County Report. (I was gone from my Saturday afternoon reporting assignment by then) Through further conversations with local Democratic officials about the incident, Dominquez the elder continued to press police to seize the imagined photos she believed had been taken.

July 1, 9:07 AM Patrolman Sammy Keller Keller recounts Capt. Kellers conversation of the previous day with Ms. Dominguez, adding, she wanted to sign a form not to allow information to be released. Officer Keller spoke with Shelley (town attorneys secretary) about the release of information. Shelley advised that the mothers name would be released, however no information about the daughter would be released. Ms. Dominguez was informed of that information. Officer Keller also advised her that the FOIA request could not be blocked and that we must comply with law. Ms. Dominguez also requested that an officer contact Roger Bianchini to get any photographs that were taken of her daughter. Officer Keller then notified Sgt. Bauserman about the request and Bauserman stated we were not going to get involved with that issue Video of the interview with Dominguez was downloaded to the main computer. Gee guys, can I FOIA a copy of that too?!!? Oh, never mind I dont want to put you through all that again History truth is that the pro-life community is PROTECTING DEFENSELESS UNBORN HUMAN LIFE. Mr. Bodine writes abortion rights were killed as a very hostile attempt to counter the reality that it is abortion that KILLS AN UNBORN HUMAN LIFE. Mr. Bodine fervently favors using the technical term fetus, again, in an attempt to deHUMANize the unborn HUMAN life. Perhaps to allay the guilt or consciences of those that know that they are choosing to kill an unborn HUMAN life. The pro-aborts that choose to kill unborn human life, like naral, planned parenthood, the multi-billion dollar abortion business giant that perpetrates sex-trafficking of young girls and is US tax-payer funded etc., actually have a PRO-ABORT AGENDA because it is HIGHLY PROFITABLE. Since 1973, for about 40 years, the pro-abort agenda has been pushed and allowed for the 56 million unborn human lives to be killed and emotionally maul their mothers. It is time to face the truth that prochoice (to kill unborn human life) HURTS WOMEN and KILLS HUMAN LIFE! Sincerely, Jessica Dominguez Warren County (Managing editors note: both this publication and the editor of the Capital News Service stand by the fairness and content of the referenced story by Michael Bodine. And this editor must comment on the tendency reflected by Ms. Dominguez to present pro-fetal life opinions as undisputed, unassailable fact, rather than a highly complex and debatable issue as reflected in several articles in this edition (Feb. 3) of Warren County Report. We also edited from the letter a reference to Planned Parenthood as slanderous and inaccurate. However, we will include it here only to illustrate the writers particular mindset Planned Parenthood, the multi-billion dollar abortion business giant that perpetrates sex-trafficking of young girls and is US tax-payer funded. Despite such unsubstantiated hyperbole from the writer, or others in the pro-fetal life lobby, abortions account for only three percent of publicly-funded Planned Parenthoods medical activities on behalf of the health of American women. And Dominguezs assertion Planned Parenthood perpetuates sex-trafficking of young girls because it does not bar prostitutes from medical services speaks to the type of irrational hysteria that characterizes so much of the rhetoric of religious extremists who seem hell-bent on forcing their no-quarters perception of reality on all Americans under the guise of religious freedom.)

Thanks so much to our wonderful customers who have made this a great year!!
I am writing to you in reference to the article found in Vol.7, Issue , late Jan., on page 7, titled Anti-abortion Bills Find New Life in General Assembly By Michael Bodine. I am appalled at how vehemently the pro-abort bias is not only in the language used by Mr. Bodine, but his tone. He uses the well-known proabort attack-phrase: anti-abortion, to clearly make it appear as though the PRO-LIFE community is somehow against something, when the

He said our Fair was Homey. Our people always try to make them feel at home and safe, she said. The monster truck show, Thrashen Hollar Bluegrass Band, The Fabulous Hubcaps, and a motocross exhibition, wrapped up the events on Saturday. The Monster Truck Show had the hill above the back field packed with people, and one of the contestants in the motocross event flipped his bike up backwards and broke his foot, said Joye. Thursdays ever-popular Stoney Roberts Demolition Derby, in its 49th season and sponsored by Marlow Motors, was also held in the back field and attracted a huge crowd which stretched up the hill to the Midway.

The Warren County High School rising seniors serious platform speech was centered on early childhood education with a focus on literacy, but when the Judge asked her what talent she would like to have that she doesnt possess, the Queen had to think on her feet.

By Carol Ballard Warren County Report Love of Country, hometown Warren County and country living was the underlying feeling at the 55th annual Warren County Fair. The theme was Summer Days and County Ways and the clicker counting attendance read 17,500 at the end of it. When you have a fair, and have money left over after paying the bills, its a good fair. Were satisfied, fair president Joye Wood said. She added that there were 956 exhibits, the most theyd ever had.
There was a wealth of things to do, see, eat and drink, and play on from Aug. 4-11. Fans were treated to animal, craft and food exhibits, music groups, carnival games, and beauty pageants. Both visitors and participants strolled around unhurriedly, willing to take the time to enjoy it all. When you look out and people have smiles on their faces and are doing a little jig here and there, you can see its a nice escape. Next year we plan on having more lighting and walking paths so people dont have to walk in the road, Joye said. The family-oriented fairs events

Mid-Atlantics most in demand top 40 dance bands based out of Martinsburg, WVa. The music was so magnetic that families were moving to the beat while holding their infants and children, who were also feeling the music. One little girl, a lone man in the back and several ladies right down in front couldnt stop dancing. People normally do dance. We play a lot of nightclubs and always try to get people out on the dance floor, said Dave Crim, Cazhmieres manager and drummer. They played something for every age group. He mentioned that the beauty pageants Fairest of the Fair Queens court, composed of mostly young girls were extremely impressed, and kept saying Oh My God when they played a selection of popular songs-notably, Call Me, Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen, and Lady GaGas Poker Face. Everybody was kind of holding their breath about the weather, but everyone was super, super nice, he concluded. The weather held up, but the spectacular heat lightning added a dramatic background to the show and all the band members looked like they were having a great time. Their tight sound kept up the pace with songs like Shes a Brick House, made famous by the Commodores. Singer and keyboardist and Front Royal native B.D. Brent, was out front playing and dancing to the audience and looked like he was enjoying being back in his hometown. He still has family and friends there and they usually come out and support him. Hes in his early 50s, but when he gets on stage, its like hes 5, said Crim, and quoted Brent as saying, Im going to do this until I cant do it any more. Band members include: Tina Kirby, Lead Vocals; B.D. Brent - Lead and Backing Vocals/Keyboards; Steve Sprenkle - Keys/Organ/Lead and Backing Vocals; Lenny StevensLead/Rhythm Guitar; Vinny Sanzone-Bass Guitar and Dave CrimDrums and Band Manager.

Mt. Rushmore, pop history quiz left to right, they are Charlie and Carol Goddard relax on a Beware of Bears bench
By Malcolm Barr Sr. Warren County Report Some folks choose the oddest places to take a vacation. Like our neighbors, Carol and Charlie Goddard of Ashby Station Road in Rockland. They picked Deadwood, South Dakota. Deadwood! I exclaimed. When you get back, let me know what you found there and if you enjoyed it. This week, Carol stopped by and told me we had the best darned vacation we ever had which isnt saying a whole lot when you stop to think about it because Charlie usually prefers to stay close to home. Anyway, joined by Carols brother, Dale Williamson, off they flew to Rapid City, Iowa, rented a car and drove south to Deadwood where Wild Bill Hickock once ruled the roost and Calamity Jane is buried. This was a town wider open than Front Royal in its heyday (in the 1800s). In fact, according to Carol, theres slot machines and such in almost every public place (though with a population of about 1,000 there arent many public places) and the brothels disappeared less than 30 years ago. The Chamber of Commerce (or somebody) has gussied up the onehorse, one-street town a bit, and gun battles are a thing of the past. At this time of year, temperatures exceed the 100s in Deadwood and thereabouts but the a/c rental got them around comfortably, allowing Carol to experience one of the great sights of her life. We were driving around a long curve in the road when, right before us was Mt. Rushmore. My goodness, Id seen pictures of Rushmore but in reality it really is unbelievable, Carol said of the four U.S. presidents faces carved into solid rock (we know you can name them). On another road trip through the Badlands, the trio saw another carving in another mountain, an unfinished image of legendary American Indian Chief Crazy Horse, which was begun in 1948 but never finished despite efforts of the late sculptors daughter to complete the project decades later. For Carol and Dale, photographers both, the wildlife, including buffalo, prairie dogs, bears, elk, burros and deer, was a delight. A constant challenge was eating -theres a dearth of restaurants. Also, Carol advises its educational but not a place youd want kids tagging along (nothing much for them to do) but do take along your national parks passport that gets you on to Skyline Drive (or your Golden Age passport if youre old enough!). Since most of this part of our country is national park, the passports save money, even on this quite affordable vacation. It was a trip well never forget, concluded Carol Goddard, adding (sotto voce): At least it got Charlie outta town!). Responding to our managing ed-

their breath. In fact, Hrbek noted during council discussion of the resolution that release of the property and construction of a north-south connector road in the area has been going on since both he and Parker were in high school. Virginia Attorney General Mary Sue Terry and the Virginia water Control Board shut the then Avtex-owned rayon and synthetic fibers manufacturing plant down for water emissions violations in 1989. Movement on a federally-overseen clean up and remediation of portions of the property began about two years later. During earlier discussion, Funk has stated the only reason he doesnt have a conflict of interest and can vote on the road is that it impacts many more people than he and other family members who live along Kerfoot Avenue. Funk has often reiterated concerns about safety, speed and volume of traffic in arguing against the temporary road project now before council. After appearing to support the road during earlier work session discussion, Tom Sayre said he agreed with Funk after visiting the area and viewing the existing path there. Citing his engineering background, former town public works director Tewalt reiterated his ongoing opposition to what he said would be a waste of money in building a temporary road where a permanent road would eventually go. He also said he thought the proposed path was not the right place for the road. However, Hrbek pointed out that what was being voted on did not approve any design path for the road. This is not giving any authority to spend any money. This is just a kinda, sorta we want the road. I dont see any map connected to this resolution, Hrbek said. Considering a north-south connector road is an EPA-mandated condition for development of the property, Hrbek asked why any councilman would want to hold up the release of any portion of the property by the EPA.
Bret Hrbek, left, attempts to explain to all it is a vote of support for the road and future commercial development on site, not road design. Gene Tewalt and Shae Parker listen.
toward the connector road. Parker then made a motion to approve the resolution. As a concession to Gene Tewalts objection to funding a temporary connector road, the vice mayor even deleted the staff-generated motions reference to a temporary connector road. Tewalt then joined Parker, Hrbek and Tharpe to create a 4- majority approving the resolution of support for the concept of a connector road that would tie northside neighborhoods to the countys soccerplex and skatepark recreational areas already built on released areas of the AvtexRoyal Phoenix property off Kerfoot Avenue on the towns southside. The resolution of support was recommended after Front Royal-Warren County Economic Development Authority Executive Director Jennifer McDonald recently told council such a resolution was needed for submission to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to gain early release of a portion of the property for development of the Kendrick-Kerfoot connector road. The situation is further complicated because the EPA will not approve construction of a permanent road on the property while Superfund remediation truck traffic is still entering and leaving the property. The EDA is hopeful that the EPA will accept a submitted report stating that the FMC-overseen remediation is essentially completed, other than tying up loose ends, and release the entire property by years end. However after years and many previous prospective release dates, no one is holding

We need this resolution all this is, is to get EPA to pursue release of this portion of the property. If we send this to the planning commission to start the process over it will be delayed another six to nine months. That will make it more difficult for the EDA to market the property and make it harder to get economic development there, Hrbek told his colleagues. Hrbek even got Town Attorney Doug Napier to explain that any final design or approval of the road would first go before the planning commission for a recommendation before council could vote on any final decisions. Hrbek also pointed out that as the towns elected body, council was responsible for decisions on policy, which he observed is what the resolution of support for a connector road is. So, youre saying we should send this resolution to an appointed body to tell us what we should do on a matter of policy? Hrbek asked incredulously. Just prior to the votes, Hrbek reiterated this point. If we go down the route Mr. Funk has proposed, were asking the planning commission if we should issue a resolution of support, not to even look at the road itself So were adding a whole other step to give to the planning commission a job that is not theirs Our job is to tell them what policy should be and their job is to see that it can actually work pragmatically in the real world. But some werent getting it. I have to disagree about a waste of time, Sayre began in prefacing his votes. At our last work session I was told two things, one, that the road would not dip down and it does dip down. And two, I was told by a different council member that there were squares, they didnt elaborate how big the squares were, but squares of how much our easement was, it would be very tight and we couldnt move around the road. Then when I went out I found out both those things I was told at the work session was wrong. I actually talked to Mr. Burke about that, and Id like to have at our work sessions if hes aware Im being given bad information, Id like for him to pipe up and correct it. So, I think this is proper to send it to the planning commission and see what they find out. In the end, it was only Sayre joining Funk in voting not to approve a Resolution of support for the Connector Road from Kendrick Lane to Kerfoot Avenue Responding to a question, Town Manager Steve Burke said after forwarding the approved resolution to the EDA for submission to the EPA, he would instruct the towns consultant to begin a road safety audit on the connector road. Parker pointed out that the previous council had authorized the setting aside of about $150,000 over two years for design and engineering work on the road, so the necessary funding is already in place. Development Postscript During earlier comments in the Public Presentations portion of the meeting, Linda Allen suggested the town and EDA move toward the type of light industrial uses allowed on the 160-acre business park portion of the property, rather than recruit another commercial shopping center developer that would create additional competition for downtown businesses already facing lost business to the northside 5 Corridor shopping centers on county land.

We won, he lost. We have the backing of the state committee and its important we get on with what we have to do, which is elect our candidates. WC Republican Committee Chairman Dom Repici on state votes on county officers
ing that George Bush did the same and that our own party continues to do the same, McHugh wrote supporters on Aug. 5. We asked McHugh how big a factor he believed the coming national convention and presidential race were in the votes to move past a county Republican officer dispute. I think thats some of it. I get it to hell with rules, its just power politics. Goodlatte got really involved. Hes scared to death of Warren County, McHugh said of the Republican 6th District incumbent U.S. House representative. McHugh campaigned hard for retired Pentagon officer and libertarian, small government candidate Karen Kwiatkowskis challenge of Goodlattes re-nomination as the Republican 6th District candidate to the U.S. House of Representatives. McHugh said that 6th District officials were instrumental in blocking the success of his appeal. He accused both Repici and 6th District Chair-
County politics
man Wendell Walker of lying before the state committee about the nature of the earlier 6th District Committee ruling on his initial appeal. That perception is based on the belief a vote on Repicis chairmanship was avoided by the sitting Warren County Republican Committee chairman recusing himself from voting as a 6th District Committee member, as would be his right as county chair. I hate to call any man a liar but [Repici] recused himself to avoid a vote on the issue [of his chairmanship], McHugh insists. Theres no question in anybodys mind he recused himself because he wanted to move past a vote on whether or not he was chairman. At the time of the 6th District Committee meeting, Repici told us he abstained simply to move the meeting forward after nearly two hours of debate over the Warren County officer situation. Why would he recuse himself to move things on? I dont know, I guess thats how he spins it in his mind,

County politics
McHugh said of that line of thought by the county chairman. Chairman comments I dont want to engage in the kinds of insults he does, Repici said of McHughs comments on about him and the decision. Its unfortunate, we have important things in front of us like getting candidates elected. Rather than breaking rules on his side, Repici questioned McHughs tactic of rewording his original appeal after it was rejected locally and by the 6th District Committee, then submitting directly to the state for a ruling. That is so far out of line and I think it confused everyone as to what they were voting on, Repici said of the Aug. 4 state hearing. And state Chairman Pat Mullin finally said, This has gone on long enough the whole issue of Warren County, I think is how he put it. As a result, Repici said, We won, he lost. We have the backing of the state committee and its important we get on with what we have to do, which is elect our candidates. Origin of dispute After returning to the county about a decade ago, McHugh served as the Warren County Republican Committee South River Magisterial District rep in 00, 004 and 006 and as committee vice chairman in 008. McHugh then refocused his guns rights and pro-life activism more at the state and national levels, as he had in the past, including a stretch in Vermont. Then McHugh assembled a more libertarian-leaning, largely younger coalition of Republicans that sought to nominate him as county chairman at the March 15 Republican Committee Mass Meeting. However, the selfdescribed coalition of constitutional conservatives, Ron Paul people and hard-core, pro-life Catholics failed due to then Committee Chairman Dave Hendersons rule that all officer nominations for the mass meeting would have to be pre-filed. Thwarted in nominating anyone on March 15, the McHugh-led group, holding an approximate 55-45 mass meeting voting majority, was reduced to blocking the election of the pre-filed slate, with the exception of the treasurer as cited above. On April 10, the splinter group of newly active Republicans re-adjourned the mass meeting and elected its own executive committee slate, McHugh chairman; Nick Bukowski, vice chairman; and Jon Fidero, secretary. Two days later at the monthly committee meeting, the Repici, Kurtz and Clark slate was elected by a mainstream committee majority eligible to vote as standing committee members. McHugh then began his challenges, stating that officers could only be elected at a mass meeting and challenging Hendersons pre-filed nominee rule as against state Republican bylaws. McHugh told us he was seeking the Warren County Republican executive committee chairmanship because of the influence a committee chair has in setting rules, agendas and the general direction of the committee. As the controversy erupted, some

old guard county Republicans said they believed the McHugh-led move on the executive committee was motivated by more than concern about local or 6th District issues; that it could have been part of a national effort to pack state and eventually national convention delegations with Ron Paul supporters. They can think that if they want. It doesnt hurt me if they think I have that kind of pull, McHugh told us when we first asked him about that perception of his motivations.

First place winner Burle Tangen presents his award for his 1935 sedan and behind him is the car itself.
By Carol Ballard Warren County Report If cars could talk, the ones at Jack Evans Chevrolet annual Classic Car Show held on Saturday could, with a few gaps, tell the entire 0th Century American story. August 4 was another hot day in Front Royal, but it didnt prevent classic car owners from converg-

ing on the lot at 15 S. Royal Ave to give the admiring public another chance to enjoy antique vehicles like the 1906 Wayne -whose body is made from Tulip Poplar wood-and others constructed out of heavy steel frames with sleek lines that were built to last. Some of them were driven across battlefields, and after the wars, many were used to carry on the business of peacetime life. They carried families down country lanes for picnics, parents to work, and couples on dates. Others come from a time when a persons arm was the only turn signal, seat belts and air bags werent
mandatory, rides were smooth and most cars driven in the USA were made here at home. And the price of gas wasnt nearly the issue it is now. John Evans IV, owner of the dealership and the force behind the annual show, showed off a more recent model. The brand new 013 eco-friendly Jalapeno green Chevy Spark 5-door hatchback gets 5-38 mpg. Who knows, maybe in 100 years, it will also be a restored classic and be on display? This should appeal to the younger people, he said. Along with the more recognizable restored Chevys, Fords, and Dodges was the 1906 Wayne, owned by Jeffrey H. Brown of Front Royal. He said his father found it when he (Jeffrey) was 1

The heat didnt deter enthusiastic car fans from walking around, loving the cars, eating hot dogs, having fun with friends and family, and listening to the upbeat and sometimes nostalgic music of the local band Eye Soar that matched the older-days feeling of the event.

Awards for the car show were: Peoples Choice, Gene McEathron 194 Military Police Ford vehicle used during WWII; First in Show, Burle Tangen of Bentonville and his 1935 -door sedan; Second in Show, Bill Yowell of Winchester; Third in Show, Henry Russell.

year old, and it had been saved from both world wars scrap metal drives because it had been hidden away in a barn. Later on, it was sold by his father, and made a trip to California. Jeffrey tracked it down a few years ago and got Mitch Sine and Ray Cone to help fix the broken crankshaft, damaged transmission and restore it. The car was a part of our family growing up. We used to jog beside it when my father drove it up the hill to take some of the weight off, he said, and added, I wanted to get it back so my kids could share it and have it when I go. He said he likes to share the car with people, and he lets them sit in it at shows and gives them rides. Hes also done a lot of research on

blowing inside shop doors like snow. As for the split in the middle? Well, thats an open invitation for disaster! It leaves the tree even more vulnerable to weather, winds, disease, and insects than it already is. Note: Only feed your ornamental pear in the fall. Be careful as excess nitrogen from fertilizer increases vulnerability to leaf disease problems. Theres no need to fertilize them after they reach five or six years old, if theyve been properly mulched from the beginning. Prune dead wood and broken branches in late winter, before the flower buds swell. The pros for buying a Bradford Pear: Lovely white blossoms; dense branching; long green leaves that turn a lovely wine color in the Fall; doesnt need regular pruning; tolerates urban stresses; likes full sun with slightly acidic soil; and has little difficulty with clay soil. The drawbacks: Growth much larger than expected; susceptibility to a splitting of their wood, especially in harsh weather; vulnerability to Aphids, Spider Mites, the Gypsy Moth and Fire Blight (a bacterial disease where new shoots suddenly wilt in late Spring, turn black or brown, and die). Always make sure the trees you purchase have a single leader (main trunk), have a good shape with no flat sides, have no dead or broken branches, and if container grown, does not have circling roots. Plant it in a space large enough so its roots wont tear up your sidewalk and branches wont fall on your house, car, or kids! Come visit me at the Arboretum, across from the flea market. Bring the kids! Ill sit up on my hind legs, twitch my tail, or run around in circles just to make yall smile. Just dont chase me, or Ill run up a tree and hide.

To answer your question in one word: No! The Bradford Pear tree (Pyrus calleryana), a cultivar of the Callery Pear, is a very pretty tree. Originally touted as elegant, sturdy, and low-growing, it turned out neither so sturdy or low growing. If youve ever been on Main Street in the spring, youve seen the beautiful white blooms of the Bradford Pears. But, they kept growing and growing and growing and as they grew, roots tore up sidewalks, branches struck cars, trucks and passers-by, and blossoms fell by the thousands (!!!)

The Front Royal/Warren County Tree Steward program began in 1997 with volunteers dedicated to improving the health of trees by providing educational programs, tree planting and care demonstrations, and tree maintenance throughout the community. The group now consists of over 30 active members with several interns working toward becoming certified tree stewards from our annual All About Trees Class. Each month Stewart will answer a question from our readers. Please forward it to Stewart in care of frwctreestewards@comcast.net and we may publish it in a future issue.
