Oliver, a senior at Rappahannock High School, is the only county student to be honored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation as a semifinalist in the 1983-84 Merit Scholarship program. Along with about 15,000 outstanding young men and women across the country, Ann will advance in the competition for 5,300 Merit Scholarships, worth more than $18 million, to be awarded in the spring of 1984. Over one million students from more than 18,000 public and private secondary schools entered the competition last fall by taking the PSAT/NMSQT in their junior year. Ann and the others who qualified as semifinalists include the highest scorers in every state and represent the top half of one percent of this year’s senior class. Ann Oliver As semifinalists, the students have completed only the first step in the Merit Scholarship competition. To become one of the approximately 13,500 finalists who will be considered for awards, the semifinalists must meet additional rigorous standards. They must document high academic performance throughout high school, receive the recommendation and endorsement of their principals, confirm their earlier qualifying scores on a second examination and provide considerable information about their interests, accomplishments and goals. Usually half of the academically talented young people recognized in the merit (Continued on Page 2) DIRGHAM SALAHI inspects the fruit as »t pours from the stem separator into the rotary press.

In the race for the block grant gold, Sperryville came up a winner last week as Governor Charles Robb announced the award of $520,110 to Rappahannock for the village’s long delayed sewer project. The governor’s letter, to supervisor Chairman J.R. Latham dated September 14, announced that Sperryville’s sewer application was "rated high enough for the Department of Housing and Community Development to begin grant negotiations. When the Department’s negotiations and reviews confirm the contents of your application, a grant contract will be prepared.” Combined with $1.4 million from the Environmental Protection Agency already earmarked for Sperryville by the State Water Control Board, the block grant money will bring the cost of Board Concludes Building Business By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock school board members plan to take a field trip October 18 to see some Page county system buildings. Superintendent Robert Estabrook says the board recognizes that the high school has serious space problems, but “it is not feasible to go all new construction.” The board decided at last Tuesday’s meeting to look at the architectural work at Luray High School and Stanley Elementary where existing space was redesigned for current needs. The gym at Stanley was converted into several smaller classrooms and storage areas for a wide range of uses. Rubber Roof In other business, the school board voted at its September 13 session to proceed with bids for the first phase of installing a synthetic rubber membrane roof at the elementary school. The roofing will be mechanically attached over the top of the existing structure after any water deteriorated portions are removed. It will then be heat-seamed to create a continuous sheet of water-tight fabric. The vote to proceed with the project was taken after an executive session for the purpose of discussing “investing public funds where bargaining is involved.” The board agreed to spend up to the budgeted amount of $30,000 on the first phase, but feared the bids might come in high if they announced that amount. However, the board retains the right to reject all bids and readvertise if bids seem high, a customary procedure in letting government contracts. Estabrook planned to meet with the architect Wednesday to start planning specification documents. No date was set to receive the bids. The $30,000 was the amount left in the school building fund after completion of the bus shop. It would be the first of four installments totaling approximately $130,000, Estabrook told the board at its August meeting. The rest of the money for roof repairs will be included in future budget requests. The first step in the project will be an infra-red inspection of the present roof to locate leaks and moisture retention areas likely to surround subsurface deterioration. The wet spots would be removed before the waterproof sheeting is attached. Bus Shop Puddles were a problem (Continued on Page 11) a sewage treatment system clown to a point where Sperrvville’s low and moderate income families can afford monthly user fees. According to Health Department and SWCB officials, the innovative STEP (septic tank effluent pump) collection system and conventional package treatment facility will eliminate the pollution in the Thornton River which runs through the center of the village. The river has been contaminated by drainage from malfunctioning septic fields in flood plain soils. That same drainage has also polluted ground water in the area, according to tests conducted by the health department on wells in Sperryville. Carson Johnson, chairman of Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority, told the supervisors at a special meeting Monday night that the block grant money will make up the local share of the $2 million project. “Our application for Step 111 construction funds from ERA was hand delivered to Richmond today. . .All the paper work on this end has been done. I see no reason now why the project won’t r go forward, pending acceptance of the block grant by the supervisors,” Johnson said. “The other things will fall in line.” According to the VVSA chairman, the sewer system will take two years to complete. “We have a timetable we’ve set up,” he said,' reporting the following schedule: —prepare bid documents and advertise for bids June, 1984, —open construction bids July, 1984, —award contacts October, 1984, —begin construction November, 1984, —complete construction November, 1985, —start up system December, 1985. “I have two concerns,” interjected Latham. Noting that this is a crucial time in the project, he said he would hate to have all the WSA members resign en mass. “That would create problems that could jeopardize the project.” He was assured that not all of the WSA members had considered resigning. Those (Continued on Page 2) Judge Penn Requests Courthouse Renovation By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappahannock News Staff Writer "We have a request from the circuit court judge to renovate the courthouse,” announced supervisor chairman J.R. Latham at Monday's special board meeting, dropping a fiscal bombshell on the county fathers. (Under the Virginia ('ode, the county board of supervisors is responsible for providing adequate court facilities; the judges themselves determine just what adequate is.) There was no immediate response to the chairman’s news. "The judge says he'll be glad to meet with a committee as a first step,” Latham added. "Does anyone know what he has in mind?" asked supervisor Hubert Gilkey. (The renovation request came in a letter from senior Circuit Court Judge Carleton Penn received sometime in July. Latham explained later that he’d circulated the correspondence to his fellow board member, H it. Wood, and in the process, it was misplaced.) "1 know some of his concerns,” volunteered Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, ‘i’ll relate one — the relationship of the witness to the judge.” He explained that witnesses must often lean over onto the front of the judge’s desk in order to be heard. But then, the witness' back is to the jury, making testimony frequently unintelligible to the panel. Latham recalled from the letter that the judge had also outlined problems with witness rooms and a juvenile courtroom. (Last Tuesday, Judge Burke Hertz conducted juvenile court — which is closed — in the upstairs courtroom. (/Judge John Alexander was form! to hoar general district cases in a downstairs office with the door ajar since general district court is open to the public. Moth general district witnesses and witnesses waiting their turn to testify in the closed hearing upstairs crowded into the narrow first floor hallway and overflowed into the sheriffs office.) "These are the things we need a committee for to meet with the judges and work from there," Latham repeated. Circuit Court Clerk Di ane Bruce, who also serves as clerk to the board of su pervisrs, explained that the judge wants an arrangement where three groups prosecution witnesses, defense witnesses and jurors can be segregated. “Another problem is that the jury room (behind the judge's bench in the upstairs court room) is not very well sound-proofed." Baumgardner advised. When the judge sends the panel to that room so that attorneys can argue a point outside of the jury's hearing, the voices of the attorneys frequently carry through the closed door, he said. With no additional comments from the rest of the hoard members, Latham appointed Bruce and Baumgardner to the courthouse renovation committee and asked for volunteers from the supervisors. “Or maybe the full hoard should meet with the judge and then pare down to a committee afterwards," he proposed. Hearing no disagreement, Latham said he would announce the date of I he meeting after checking with .lodge Penn for a time convenient with the court. Supervisors Endorse Group Home’s Funding Appeal To HUD After a reminder from attorney Douglas Baumgardner that the board of zoning appeals had already given basically the same affirmation, Rappahannock’s supervisors voted assurances to the federal Depart ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that die adult group home proposed for Harris Hollow complies with the county’s comprehensive plan and poses no environmental hazards. At Monday’s special session, Sam Snead, partner in the Rappahannock Center for Independent Living, reported that the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, on behalf of HUD, needed answers from the county to four questions. Snead said he’d asked Baumgardner to draft a reply so that the supervisors could act on it. “Apparently, there’s now some question regarding that letter. . . These people at HUD need to know something, one wav or another,” Snead said. Ghosts And Graffitti At The Meadows Among the homes to be featured during the 27th annual Rappahannock County House Tour and Dried Flower Sale on the afternoons of October 15lb will be “The Meadows”, a large, handsome plantation-type house in the town ofWashington. Part of the home was built several years before a young engineer named George Washington surveyed the town. Over the past few years, the owner, Willis Snell, an attorney in the nation’s capital, has made additions and modifications that have integrated the whole into a structure of unique integrity and dignity. A legend associated with the house tells of a ghost that had to be eliminated by silver bullets before servants would come to work there. Wounded Civil War soldiers wrote graffitti on attic walls. Today the house is a showcase for the owner’s collection of memento- of his travels throughout the world. The tour and dried flower arrangement sale is sponsored each year, on the third weekend in October by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish of Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington. Headquarters for the event will be the church's parish hall. Tea will be served from 1 to 5 p.m. on the days of the tour at Fairlea, the home of Judge and Mrs. Raynor Snead in Washington. Box lunches, prepared by the women of the First Baptist Church, will be available at tour headquarters. At the last board meeting when the proposed group home for retarded adults was discussed, people voiced concerns regarding security at the facility, fire protection, emergency services and adequacy of the access road, supervisor chairman J.R. Latham recalled. “The board of zoning appeals was asked to consider those factors (when it acted on Snead’s special use permit application for the home),” Baumgardner countered. Those points were taken into account when the BZA voted to grant the permit, he emphasized. HUD required answers to four very specific auestions, all spoken to in the letter before the board for endorsement, Rappahannock’s commonwealth’s attorney continued. The letter assures federal authorities that the proposed facility does not conflict with any state development plans; is in harmony with the county’s comprehensive plan; has no impact on sites eligible for, nominated to or already on the national register of historic places; creates no significant environmental impact or concern. The letter notes that the project doesn’t affect any goals set for equal housing since the county has none hut that the adult group home will be an equal opportunity employer. Baumgardner’s answer to HUI) concludes with the notation that it is anticipated the facility will benefit Rappahannock County. Snead pointed out that the Hill) application is for financing. “This board has endorsed our financing for industrial revenue bonds. It’s logical and the next step” to endorse the group home’s application for HUD financing, an application that prompted the questions from the federal agency. How Determined? “How did you determine that there will be no environmental impact?” asked Mitzie Young, Washington realtor. Baumgardner read from the zoning ordinance the* findings that the M/A must make before issuing a social use permit: that the proposed use must not be hazardous to or in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood; that the use will not adversely affect the health and safety of persons residing ur working in the neighborhood; that it will not 1m* detrimental to public welfare or injurious to property or improvemets in the neighborhood and that it will be in accord with the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan. "How did the M/A deduce the answers were in the affirmative (on the group home’s permit application)?” Young asked. “What kind of studies were made?” "I don't know,” the attorney replied, adding that he had not read the record of the M/A’s public hearings. “IF you’re worried about some problem with sewage disposal or water quality, it (Continued on Mage 12) No Rooms At The Inn? By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Washington town council has asked its lawyer, Douglas Baumgardner, to review the tapes, maps and other documents and exhib its from its September 14 public hearing. The courtroom was a natural setting for lawyers presenting arguments and exhibits for both sides and numerous neighbors testifying at great length. At issue was a special use permit for Patrick J. O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch to expand the kitchen facilities and renovate the upstairs at The Inn to accommodate overnight guests. Discussion continued for approximately two hours. Appeal O’Connell and Lynch were represented by (ireene County attorney David Dickey. He explained there were two issues involved: an ap|>eal of the zoning administrator's decision that the building permit granted in 1980 had expired and a request for a variance for expansion of the back of the building along Main Street. , Dickey said that he had exfiected the council to vote on the special use permit on Wednesday and that he didn’t think there were any legal questions involved to necessitate a lengthy review by Haumgardner. The Inn’s next door neighbors, Peter and Sharon l.abovitz, didn’t agree and brought his brother, lawyer •John Labovitz, to argue the case. According to his reading of the zoning ordinance, .John Labovitz argued that special use permits automatically expire after one year unless other provision is made. In acting on The Inn’s request in 1980, town council followed the usual procedures, Labovitz said, adding that in his opinion, The Inn’s management committed a serious violation of the zoning ordinance by starting to (Continued on Page 2) Town Hall Painter Chosen "I m surprised they’re so low," Mayor Newbiil Miller remarked to Treasurer {trad Fisher as they examined bids for painting the town hall at last Wednesday’s Washington Town Council meetingcouncil will also get a bargain on the paint, having been offered contractors' prices if Sherman Williams brand is chosen. Miller told council members they could buy the paint for $16-$17 per gallon for the highest grade exterior paint. There ensued a continuation of last month’s discussion of colors. At their August session, council members had agreed on “the lightest of grey” for the body of the building, the darkest of greenish black for the roof and shutters, and cranberry red for the door. On Wednesday Millethad cardboard swatches to pass around the table as examples of the grey, greenish black and red that would l»e used. Stock grey was chosen for the building because council felt it would be easier to return than a special blend if it weren’t all used. The trim colors can be mixed specially since smaller amounts of paint are in volved. Since the town will supply the paint, the bids were for labor only. Five firms made offers ranging from $2,750 - $1,700. Dorothy Hawkins moved to accept the low bid of $1,700 from Raymond Smoot. Taylor Updike supported the motion, providing Smoot could be asked to brush on the paint rather than spraying it. The motion was unanimously approved. Updike had misgivings about the effectiveness of spray painting, despite assurances from Fisher that “with airless sprayers, the paint goes on thick as mud — just like right out of a bucket."

No Rooms At The Inn? (Continued from Page 1) build without a permit. Dickey countered that nothing had been done so far that would require a permit. Charles Eldred, The Inn’s neighbor across Main Street, remembered the meeting in 1980 and said no one had expected it would take only a year to complete construction. He thought the special use permit had been granted for five years. Dickey had said the owners thought the permit was granted for five years, but when they applied for a building permit, they were told the special use permit expired after one year. They believed five years was a reasonable time in which to complete the “long, expensive project,” he said. Lynch and O’Connell spent $400,000 on the stairway alon within one year, Dickey said; delays are costing $1,000 a day.

Mayor Newbill Miller pointed out that the earlier application sought to restore only the original rooms in the upstairs, to make no addition on the back and to build a lower fence. Eileen Day, whose office is across the street from The Inn, argued that the obvious intent was to allow room for guests for dinner. If a health permit has been granted, she asked, what difference did it make how many rooms or how long it took? She called the arguments “a lot of legal hair splitting.” Miller still maintained that decision should be deferred until a recommendation is returned from Baumgardner. A motion to that effect from C. E. “Skippy” Giles was unanimously approved. Plans In case the appeal of the zoning administrator’s decision should be refused, the owners of The Inn filed a new application for a special use permit. Their architect showed drawings of present plans for the building’s renovation. A 10 foot wide addition is proposed for the back of the building. Built from the kitchen, it would house employee rest rooms and dressing rooms, a cooler for food and other kitchen facilities. Besides restoring the second floor for overnight accommodations, the existing attic would be used in two levels for guest rooms. Two sitting rooms with private baths and French balconys would be at the lower level, with loft bedrooms using the space at the top. The existing roof will be replaced, the final project leaving the building 45 feet tall. The peak of the roof would be four inches higher than it is now. At that point Mary Updike presented a petition with 12 signatures opposing the special use permit.

He praised their “excellent cuisine and contribution to the community” adding that he and his wife had lent Lynch and O’Connell $25,000 to get started when they sold them the property. But Labovitz asserted that Lynch and O’Connell were “essentially defying the town to take action against them” by allegedly building without a permit. Furthermore, he said they “flagrantly violated provisions of our private agreement.” His brother, John Labovitz, objected to the height of the fence between the tub properties, questioned whether there is adequate parking at The Inn, and wondered whether the garden structure is an addition or an accessory. If it is an addition, he said. The Inn needs a variance and building without that variance would be a violation of the building code. KldLll l IgllUIti viulations that have already occurred and council shouldn’t vote to authorize more violations,” he concluded. Peter Labovitz repeated, “There is nothing we object to fundamental to their basic business goals.” He said he thought the town should make the building activity stop until officials have adequately reviewed the plans and there is open discussion in a public forum. Finally he requested a complete review of the local zoning laws to strengthen them, a strong town plan with residential and commercial areas defined and establishment of an architectural review board. Labovitz volunteered to serve on such a board and also offered the services of the University of Virginia urban planning department in setting it up. Reaction These offers incensed Fran Eldred whose family has lived in the same spot in town for three generations. She lambasted the Labovitz family as typical of “people who come in (and are) suddenly experts on The Corner.” “I resent the fact that everyone in town knows what’s best for us on The Corner,” she said. “Is this jealousy? The sweet smell of success in someone else? I resent those who speak who are not neighbors of The Inn and who are non-residents.” Eldred referred to the two Labovitz brothers as “the big city planner and the big city lawyer” and pointed out that neither of them had ever lived in town, but were "in and out of town with their business” during the course of which they had converted an historic building into the Middle Street (iallery which she described as “this travesty on urban colonial architecture.” “We do not expect any problems with The Inn,” she said. “They have been the best of neighbors.” William Wickens, who lives on Gay Street, apologized for being a newcomer to town, having been a resident for just two years. However, he suggested that an architectural review board might be good for the town and not necessarily a big city idea. He pointed out that Georgetown and New York City have no architectural review boards, whereas every small town in England as well as small communities like Waterford, Virginia, does. “As it is now, I could paint my house purple with orange stripes,” he said, and no one could do anything about it. David Dickey pointed out another deficiency in the present system. The supreme court has found that where there is only one zone, BZA decisions are “arbitrary and capricious.” Washington has no separate residential and business zones, and Dickey said, “We don’t want to be the first ones to challenge it." Miller assured Dickey a new zoning ordinance is in the works. Council would refer the requests for The Inn to Baumgardner for his review, Miller promised. A motion to that effect by Brad Fisher was unanimously approved. Sperry ville A Winner (Continued from Page 1) who had were alarmed by the prospect of condemning property if their neighbors in the village refused to grant easements for sewer lines. At a special meeting called last week for announcement of the block grant award, those members got a “pep” talk from their fellows on the WSA and appeared convinced to remain on the Authority. “My other concern is a project manager. Is the planning district going to take on that responsibility?” Latham asked. Johnson replied the John Capelle, executive director of PD9, had worked on both the block grant and the EPA funding applications. He said that Capelle has further agreed to line up the project, make sure all documents go to the proper agencies and reorganize the WSA files amassed over the past 15 to 20 years. “But the Summer Ends This Friday Fall arrives on Friday, September 23, at 10:42 a.m. EI)T—the moment when the sun crosses Earth’s equator marking the autumnal equinox and signalling the official beginning of fall in the northern hemisphere.

"Were also looking for items that have been worn by famous personalities— politicians, movie stars, writers, familiar faces from television—to auction off as added attractions,” Allan noted. In addition to the vintage clothing, the show will also feature music, entertainment, refreshments and a spirit of fun as well as elegance. Tickets at $5 per person will be available by October 1. BETHANY HOUSE CHAPEL—Over 300 volunteers worked throughout the summer to transform Sommarbeth Farm’s old stable into a chapel for the retreat center. This Sunday, September 25, from 2 to 6, the people of Rappahannock are invited to tour the chapel and other refurbished buildings at Bethany House’s open house. general Lfistnct Court Power Company Prosecutes “It was a stupid mistake,” John Villard told Judge John Alexander, “I’m never gonna touch a meter plate again.” Villard appeared in the September 13 session of , general district court charged with tampering with an electric meter after he allegedly chisled off a security lock to restore power to a home that had been disconnected for non-payment. Power company representatives came to court with the tell-tale meter base and security lock. The outr standing bill of approximately $200 had been paid and the company would deduct $28.30 from the deposit to pay for the damaged equipment, but Alexander told Villard that such an offense was a serious one, carrying a possible jail sentence. Villard was fined $100 plus $35 court costs and received a 30 day suspended sentence. He must show good behavior for 12 months. Similar charges against his wife, Tracy Lynn Vil equal HOUSING OPPORTUNITY Estate IMPROVEMENTS AND FORECLOSURE When a person buys a home, sooner or later he will probably make some improvements or additions to “personalize” it for his family. These improvements could cover such diverse things as installing air conditioning, putting on aluminum siding, putting in a swimming pool, or even adding an extra room for guests or other family purposes. These improvements all naturally increase the value of a home, as well as making it more comfortable and, in the case of adding a room or swimming pool, more fun. But a question is often raised regarding the effect of the improvements in case of foreclosure. The question is: “Can the owner claim the value of these improvements against the mortgage debt?” If the mortgage debt is, say, $20,000, can he say “I spent $10,000 on improvements so I only owe $10,000.” This sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? As logical as this may seem, the answer is “NO!” Those improvements were made in and to the house. The increase in the value of the home benefits the holder of the mortgage by increasing his security for the debt.

New Retreat Center Schedules Open House Early on a Friday evening a station wagon pulls up in front of a large brick home nestled on the side of a small mountain. The doors flv open and out burst four excited children, their weary parents and a pile of luggage. They have come to spend a weekend living in Christian community in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains at a place called Bethany House. This scene was first enacted in October, 1979. In the two years that followed, over two hundred families found their way up route 211 to the big house on the hill just outside the town of Washington. When renovations began this past spring on Sommarbeth, the 207 acre farm in Huntly purchased as the new permanent home for Bethany House, many of the “alumni" of the “old” Bethany House returned to picturesque Rappahannock County to renew old friendships and to help the new place get started. Joined by other workers from over 20 parishes of the Diocese of Ar lington, they brought paint brushes, drills, saws, rakes, rags and a lot of energy. The results of the efforts of these 300 plus volunteers will be on view during an open house at the retreat center on Sunday, September 25, from 2 to 0 p.m. All Rappahannock residents are cordially invited to tour the property and its ten buildings which include a chapel, seven bedroom farmhouse, 14 bedroom youth center, two guest houses, three stocked ponds, swimming pool, tennis court, woodland trails and softball soccer field. The new Bethany House is quite different from the original. The old Bethany had only six bedrooms for retreatants. It could support only the family program. The new Bethany has 32 bedrooms in five different buildings and will support not only the family retreat program but also many other activities. St. Joseph’s, the fourteen bedroom barn painted and refurbished solely bv the volunteers, will provide weekend housing for the diooese’s various youth groups and the Cursillo movement of Northern Virginia. On the other side of the sprawling 207 acre "campus", family weekends and parish groups will find a home in the Family t'enter, a gracious seven bedroom Victorian farmhouse situated at the heart of the property. Behind the Family Center, the cha|*>l building, formerly a stable, contains a ground floor chapel that seats 70 and a second floor with meeting room, bedrooms and baths for retreat groups and volunteer kitchen staff. The three houses between the Family Center and the chapel are St. John Vianney’s, home for priests and seminarians who will come to assist on family weekends, St. Mary's, a residence for retreatants, and St. Martha's, the residence of Deacon Jim Bayne and wife, Diane, directors of the center. “There's no way in the world this place would have been ready to open next week had it not been for the time and energy contributed Town Hall Painter Chosen Continued from Page 1 Water System Council also continued last month’s discussion concerning storage of maintenance equipment. New water system maintenance supervisor Johnny Kay Pullen had requested a place to store his tools. A room in the town hall has been suggested and contractors will replace the lock for the room when they paint the building, Miller said. Pullen also pointed out portions of the town’s water supply system where repairs were needed. The areas are on the north end of town where plastic pipes have been installed. “The new plastic pipes are in worse shape than the old galvanized ones,” Miller said. He said he didn’t know whether they were installed properly, and he asked for an okay to find out how much it would cost to repair them. “Since we don’t have enough money to replace all the small lines, we may have to do them piecemeal,” Miller said. “When any line breaks, it’s a problem for the whole town.” Council approved proceeding with estimates for the repairs. The pipes are in the Calvert-Wheeler-Main Street area.

TOM W REESE continue to serve Washington for another 25 years under the new contract. Council will also ask Baumgardner to review and make a recommendation on an application from Truman J. Keesey for a special use permit to establish a gift shop in his home on (Jay Street. Keesey, who is 77 years old, explained that he had been supplying imported goods to stores in Northern Virginia and West Virginia and now he would like to slow down on his travels and conduct a small home business. Keesey says he expects patrons to come from as far as D.C. to shop with him, but that there wouldn’t be continuous traffic like at a grocery store. He said he has five parking spaces at his property, but that he expected most of his clients would park elsewhere in town and then walk. Several citizens in the audience objected not only to the lack of parking space along (Jay Street, but also to possible consequences to the historic district as a result of allowing the conversion of a home to a business. Keesey’s application stated that the building would still be mainly a home and would have no structural additions. Miller asked him to submit a site plan showing exactly what he intends to do with the building so that council may review it by so many people of the di oeese,” Deacon Bayne said. “They came out here and worked during one of the hottest summers on record. Others contributed needed items of furniture and accessories. We thank them all for their support, encour agement, and just plain hard work."

Mon Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22. 1983 Constitution Week “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquality, the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Those words written 196 years ago are still sending their echoes around the world. Thanks to the U. S. Constitution, we remain the freest people on this planet. We remain the model of personal liberty in a world where too many wear the chains of bondage, on their minds if not on their bodies. Constitution Week, September 17 through 23, is a time set aside to reflect on the Constitution and appreciate the privilege of America citizenship protected by this body of law drafted almost two centuries ago and “intended to endure for ages.” The observance comes at a time when we’ve just had a lesson in the difference between the nation created by this Constitution and our ideological opposite, the Soviet Union. “We the People of the United States” would never countenance the destruction of a commercial airliner carrying men, women and children, not if it flew over our missile silos, not if it flew over our SAC bases, not if it flew over top secret military installations. But if our government—either by accident or deliberately—committed such an outrage, “We the Peo pie of the United States” would know. The Russian people were not told for days that an airplane had even gone down. When their government finally broke the silence, they heard only the official party line. By contrast, remember the flow of information to the American people. We heard that same party line from the Soviet’s new agency. We heard our government’s explanation. We heard reports from the Japanese and the Koreans. We heard charges that the shooting down of the airliner wras an assassination attempt aimed at the conservative congressman, president of the John Birch Society, who was a passenger on the plane. We heard suppositions from our own countrymen that the Koreans may have had spy equipment on the airliner or that the CIA may have been involved. We heard arguments from Russian analysts in and out of our government that “yes, it had to have been an accident” and “no, it couldn’t possibly have been.” In short, we had a steady stream of information that hasn’t ended yet, information that will enable us to make up our own minds about what happened and what those events signify for the future. The Constitution drafted almost 200 years ago protects and rests on that right to be informed. But the right to be informed is also a responsibility. During Constitution Week and throughout the rest of the year, we should remember that. Citizens Group Mounts Petition Drive To Support School Proposals By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Petitions are being circulated throughout Rappahannock County in an attempt to generate support for school issues before the November 8 general election. A newly organized group, Rappahannock Citizens for Quality Education, has 20 petition takers already working and is still soliciting volunteers. “The most important thing, of course, is to get the support of the supervisor candidates and current office holders,” explained Nancy Schoppet, one of the organizers. “We want this to be a cooperative venture. We believe that the statement of support we’re asking people to sign is a reasonable compromise, the type of thing that everybody can get behind." Meeting over the past month, the Rappahannock Citizens for Quality Education (RCQE) has come up with a list of specific recommendations for improving the county’s public schools. The group believes that the improvements, coupled with tougher new state requirements for graduation, will strengthen education in Rappahannock County. The changes recommended by the citizens group will cost $191,500 to implement which works out to nine cents on the tax rate or an increase of approximately $63 on the average Rappahannock County taxpaver’s annual bill, according to the RCQE. “We understand that improvements cost money. These specific proposals were chosen in order to make the biggest improvement for each dollar spent,” the RCQE’s petition notes. The group’s timetable calls for the following to be completed in the current school year: —Study of current vocational programs and exploration of possible alternatives (no cost), —Completion of the cost assessment for a building program at Rappahannock County High School and application for literary loan or other funds for the work ($2,100 cost already in the 1983-84 school budget), —Publication of a specific curriculum for the gifted and talented program by the end of the first semester (no cost). The expense foreseen by the RCQE all comes in recommendations for 1984-85: —$10,000 to offer all students in both schools use of computers with the goal of requiring Vi year of computer experience for graduation by 1988 (this year’s eighth grade class), —$6,500 to offer a foreign language to elementary students, —$100,000 to implement a proposed index pay scale for teachers with reasonable cost of living increase, —$15,000 to upgrade pay for teachers’ extra duty assignments to at least state average, —$60,000 to begin construction of high school addition sufficient to meet needs per census for next ten years (based on amortization of $750,000 loan over 20 year period). For 1984-85, RCQE also suggests two “no cost” proposals: restoration of budget authority to the school board by ending budget cutting by categories and a study of merit pay systems for teachers with recommendations. Along with the petition forms, the citizens group notes facts and figures for 1981-82 relating to the schools, comparing the picture in Rappahannock with that in neighboring counties. According to the RCQE, the nine cent increase in local tax rate needed to pay for the school improvements suggested by the citizens group would still put Rappahannock’s tax rate lower than in surrounding counties (except Madison) for the current fiscal year. Meeting Thursday The Rappahannock Citizens for Quality Education will hold its next meeting on Thursday, September 22, at 7:30 p.m. at Sursum Corda School. Anyone interested in public education is welcome to attend. For additional information on the petition drive or the group’s proposals, contact Theresa Reynolds (675-3683), Liz Blubaugh (675-3846) or Barney O’Meara (987-8271).

Thus, many areas are included in the flood plain zone on account of the soil types deposited there thousands of years ago after the last ice age and not because they are actually subject to flooding. After considerable discussion of this problem with the planning commission last year, we investigated the possibility of using a hydrological survey map prepared by some state agency which would provide a more reasonable basis to delineate the flood plain areas. Unfortunately, no such studies were available, and we learned that the cost of making such a study survey of the county would not be practical due to the exees sive cost involved. My recent proposal was made as a starting point for a renewed discussion in an attempt to find a reasonable solution to the flood plain problem. I specifically mentioned to the board of supervisors on September 7. 1983 that the 50-year period was only a suggestion and that it might have to be lengthened. Unlike the big cities, Rappahannock County does not have any accurate hydrological records and very few landmarks by which the flood level of a "hundredyear-storm” could be determined. In fact, some supervisors expressed concern that it would be difficult to find persons who could accurately remember back even 50 years as to whether a specific property flooded or not. Unfortunately, this entire discussion was not reported by your staff writer. Contrary to the suggestion made by The Rappahannock News editorial, the proposal was not made for the benefit of the so-called “landed gentry." but for the many small landowners who have inherited or otherwise acquired small lots near rivers, have been paying taxes on them for many years and now find that the uses to which they can put their land are severely limited because a map designed and prepared for another purpose is the basis of our flood plain zone, and not because there is any real threat of flooding. The proposal was an attempt to alleviate a real hardship on many people of limited means throughout the county who cannot afford to hire a lawyer to challenge the obvious lack of a rational basis for the present flood plain map. It was disappointing that instead of encouraging a meaningful discussion of the problem. The Rappahannock News chose to question the integrity of Rappahannock “old timers," to attack the proposal as “deceptive" and to imply that 1 have less than adequate concern for the problems caused by building in flood plains. I invite all of your readers who have an interest in this issue to attend the public hearings and to participate in the discussion which I hope will result in a logical solution to a very real problem for many people in Rappahannock County. Thank you for the opportunity to present another point of view. DAVID L. KONICK Cast let on East ham Applauded To the editor: I would like to applaud Robert Eastham's response to the Rappahannock News editorial criticizing his description of the curriculum as a “smorgasbord". Mr. Eastham addresses a basic problem of education in America today, not just in Rappahannock County. This is the problem of too much choice too soon. Responsible parents don’t allow their children to eat anything they want. Some parents, however, don’t know what’s good for their children, nor for themselves. A school curriculum is an intellectual menu designed to build mental skills and to impart knowledge of our world. "Less is more” is a wise saying often heard in the business world. There is more to learn than any school system has the resources to teach. This means making decisions that some skills are more important than others; that some areas of knowledge are more basic than others. Should home economics be considered the equivalent educational value as math? Is athletics as important as English? What is important to all students, whether they intend to go to college or not? Teaching a little of everything leaves the student with a lot of nothing. This is the consequence of the smorgasbord approach that Mr. Eastham rightly criticizes. Until parents and educators, but particularly the educators who should be leading us, can distinguish intellectual meat and potatoes from Coca Cola and potato chips, money is not going to be the answer. Otherwise, it will only buy more of the Coca Cola and potato chips that unguided children seem to prefer. “F reedom of choice” may sound progressive, but it is a sham foisted on students by adults who have no standards, or an abdication of responsibility by educators unwilling to make tough decisions about what is most important. I vote for a heavy forced diet of math, science, English, history and foreign languages. JOHN W. KISER. Washington, D.C. Best Present To the editor: The Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community (RAAC) would like to thank the Women's Club for their generous contribution to the “Voices of Rappahannock" Project. This year has been one of growing support between community organizations, which is the most fitting pre* sent we can give our county in celebration of its 150th Birthday. LAURIE MARSHALL Project Coordinator — From Both Barrels Fighting Crime With Rhetoric By GEORGE BOWLES In this election year, with every seat in the General Assembly up for grabs, the highways and byways of the Commonwealth are very nearly clogged with candidates for the Senate and the House of Delegates plying their political wares. And somewhere in the reams of position papers which just about every one of these candidates are profferring the voters is a platform plank which has become a staple of Old Dominion politics in recent years. That platform plank decries, with a vast beating of the breast and shaking of the fists Heavenward, the alleged rampant spread of crime in the state. It is accompanied by a steely-eyed pledge to do something about it. Sentences must be tougher! The rascals must be locked up and the key thrown away! The only way to protect society is to put the crooks in the hoosegow and keep them there! For the simpleminded, some aspiring politicians still trot out the now-hoary suggestion of “Uniform Sentencing.” The proposal would impose the same penalty for the same crime monwealth. It sounds good until one reflects that * crimes are a bit like finger- i prints. No two are exactly n alike, and since the crimes aren’t uniform, an equita- ; ble system of uniform sen- > tences to fit them might be a bit difficult to construct. It would, in fact, be impossible. imow following—or perhaps preceding—the candidates pledge of a ferocious crackdown on the criminal element will, in nearly all campaign position folders, be found another item. This one will be a pledge, delivered with wideeyed sincerity and the right hand raised on high, that the candidate will fight to his last political breath any effort to raise the taxes on the “already overburdened” people of the state. In mid-June the Virginia Assenibly, a non-partisan think tank not to be confused with the General Assembly, held a meeting at Wintergreen in Nelson County. The subject of the meeting, which was sponsored by the University of Virginia Institute of Government, was the role of adult corrections within the Virginia Criminal Justice System. The 71 leaders from around the Commonwealth who attended the assembly heard some interesting statistics and facts: • In spite of citizens’ fear of rising crime, according to the U.S. Justice Department, the rate of crimes committed has not changed appreciably in recent vears. • Virginia already has some of the toughest sentencing laws in the country’. In terms of the number incarcerated compared to population, the Old Dominion ranks higher than 36 other states. • But 42 percent of those behind bars are repeat offenders, raising the question of just how effective the Virginia system may be. The statistics also show that if the politicians want still tougher sentencing, it will cost their constituents a pretty penny. • At the present rate, there are 16,000 adults in Virginia’s prisons. Ten years ago there were 9,000. Space for 4,200 more will be built in the 1980s, but that will still be 3,000 short of the 23.000 which will be needed by 1990 at the present rate of incarceration. • New prisons are expensive. They cost $50,000 per cell to build, and it costs $12,000 per year to keep a convict behind bars. • Since 1980, Virginia’s correctional costs have increased by 28 percent, or more than twice the rate of increase of the total budget. • By 1990, Gov. Chuck Robb estimates that the biennial cost of running the system could exceed $1 billion. That is about double the present outlay. The asembly, to be sure, did not advocate any relaxation of the war on crime. It did, however, propose a more rational approach to the sentencing process and a thorough study of the entire corrections system. But the point here is to note that unless our “law ’n' order" politicians are willing to pay the piper and support the tax increases necessary to build more jails and prisons, the talk of new and tougher penalties for lawbreakers is, to put it bluntly, so much baloney. It may be good politics, but it does no good to be a tough guy—or gal—in talking to voters about the crime problem, and then turning into a wimp when it comes to telling them that the tough measures proposed will smack them squarely—and hard—in their wallets. Schlabach Visits Rappahannock 26th District Democratic State Senate candidate W. E. “Ernie” Schlabach will be in Rappahannock on Wednesday, September 28, to tour the county. Schlabach’s “Country Store Tour” will begin in Washington at approximately 10 a.m. in front of the offices of the Rappahannock News. He will be available to interested county citizens to answer questions at that time. Schlabach’s visit to the county will also feature stops in Chester Gap, Flint Hill, Huntly, Amissville, Washington, Sperryville, Woodville, Viewtown, Castleton, Scrabble and Boston. In announcing his tour of the county, Schlabach emphasized that one of his goals as a State Senator will be to devote “special attention” to the concerns of the counties in the eastern part of the 26th Senate district, including Rappahannock. “For too long,” noted Schlaback, “the people of Rappahannock County have been ignored in Richmond. If elected, I will visit Rappahannock on a regular basis. Rappahannock, as a strong Democratic county, is one of the key elements in the winning coalition that we are putting together this year and I won’t forget the support of the voters of this county when I go to Richmond next year.” The 26th District has been represented in the past by Republican Nathan Miller, who decided against * seeking re-election this year. Schlabach, the Democratic candidate, is opposed by Republican Kevin Miller, who lost a race for Congress in 1982 to Democrat James Olin. Schlabach has cited Miller’s aspirations for higher office as a major issue in the race, contending that if he (Schlabach) is elected, he will “only be a State Senator” and not a candidate for another office. Schlabach also contends that he, as a Democrat, will be better able to work with the General Assembly’s moderate and conservative Democratice majority .

Fo}rth In Invitational Panthers Take Top Ten Spots In Dual Meet rie first ten runners acns the finish line were weling blue and gold PanthW jerseys in last week’s erf country battle bet« >n Rappahannock and Bi itsville. Lf|d if that wasn’t en igh, both Scott Keithley ar Ronnie Atkins broke the relrd over the 2.6 mile Mans -as Battlefield course. Kfchley is the new record h<jer, his finish in 15:12 loering the old mark by 23 pnds. Atkins finished in 1. a second under the old brd. “Our ninth graders wuld have won if the big gys weren’t running!” annua ed a smiling coach Ann Sjeler. Rappahannock’s fint seven runners across th« Jne were juniors and senior Keithley, Atkins, Caperton (15:39), ElDodson (16:08), Craig Ke£on (16:16), Ricky Shaw (1C$7) and David Dodson (ltJ4). But also finishing ahtd of any Brentsville hiTiers were ninth graders Jdn Dodson (17:19), David Ffhbein (17:21) and Jonatljn WaBon (17:27). “I'm ,*eal pleased that the nith graders are closing the gp between them and the uperebssman,” the coach sid, repeating that “pack” fiishes win meets. Rappahannock fans were teated to double excitetent, first when ten Panthrs sireamed across the line i font of their opponents nd second when Denise lidsm, ,a newcomer to the cos» comtry ranks, held off tvo Jreitsville girls and one b*y n an all-out race that pit terin third place among the fin runners. Karen Ludwp was the w inning girl nier, turning in her usual srerth performance and finisng in 20:27, ahead of five hfs. /final tally in the dual fet against the Bull Run I strict opponent was a lop*led 15 for the Panthers to 0 for Brentsville’s Tigers Tops District Teams Rappahannock's runners took fourth among the 18 schools competing in Saturday’s Eastern Mennonite Invitational in Harrisonburg, topping Strasburg and Stonewall, the other Bull Run District representatives. “As a whole, I felt our boys ran poorly. However, Scott Keithley and Craig Kenyon both bettered the times they had last year at the Invitational,” coach Spieker reported. On Saturday, Keithley was ninth over the line for an invitational medal, finishing in 15:51, 27 seconds behind the winner from Buffalo Gap but well ahead of the 16:25 he posted in 1982 for the three-mile course. Other runners finishing for Rappahannock and their times were Chris Caperton (16:45), Ronnie Atkins (16:54), Craig Kenyon (17:11), Ricky Shaw (17:38), El wood Dodson (17:38) and David Dodson (18:15). “Most of the Rappahannock boys ran in the upper third of the runners,” coach Spieker noted. “Chris (Caperton) did very well for his first big meet,” she said, adding that Ronnie Atkins, usually the number two man for RCHS, was slowed by illness. Team results were Western Albemarle 55, Buffalo Gap 101, Waynesboro 153 and Rappahannock 156. Strasburg had 200 for ninth and Stonewall Jackson 278 for 11th. Luray, Rappahannock’s rival from the old Skyline District, was eighth with 199 points. Competing as a junior varsity squad, the RCHS ninth graders joined forces with the two girl runners to take third place out of ten teams. John Dodson was first to finish for Rappahannock and 12th overall in 19:13. ■ 1 ... - - «*. Rapphannock News Photo/Giner Bcuy HUSTLIN' GUARD Kim Settle provided both an offensive and defensive spark in the Panthers’ two district wins this week. Big Game Show This Weekend The 36th Annual Big Game Trophy Show will be held at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds Friday and Saturday, September 23 and 24.

The show is open to the public 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday. RCHS Blanked In Opener Thirteen was an unlucky number for the Rappahannock Panthers last week as they allowed a strong, disciplined Eastern Mennonite squad to score 13 goals while never getting the ball into the net themselves. EM skunked Rappahannock last year, 11-0 and 7-0 in RCHS’s first soccer season. His boys had the right attitude going into Thursday's contest in Harrisonburg, according to coach Glenn Davis. “They knew they’d improved since last year and they thought Eastern Mennonite hadn’t. They also felt that Eastern Mennonite might underestimate them. They thought maybe, if they played their game, they just might beat them.” But the Panthers only maintained the disciplined formations of their practice sessions for the first five minutes. Rapp's front line of Doug McCabe, Vinnie Caporuscio, James Dennis and Mike DelGrosso attacked first. They kept the EM goalie busy with shot after shot at the net. Rarely did the ball go past mid-field and when it did, Rappahannock’s * defense booted it back toward the EM goal. Then, like punctured balloons, the Panthers lost their discipline, enthusiasm and determination after a yellow jersey headed a shot into the RCHS net, the only head shot score by EM in the long afternoon. “We’d tred to score and they turned us back. And then vhey got a goal bn a lucky shot. We just fell apart after that,” coach Davis said, adding that the exchange convinced the Panthers they were outmatched. “We just watched them play for the rest of the game.” EM’s second score came on a line drive kick that whizzed past the outstretched foot of goalie Lee Baines. Behind 2-0, the Panthers returned to life momentarily, halfbacks and fullbacks challenging their opposite numbers for the ball. The RCHS front line broke through the EM defensive ranks but shots at the goal either sailed over the net or careened out of bounds to the side. As the Panthers’ play became more ragged. Eastern Mennonite’s passing game got sharper. They zipped the ball dowm the field with short, quick kicks, always finding an open man. Rapp defenders were left standing still and shuffling their feet as EM’s attackers faked in one direction and then dribbled in the other. Repeatedly, first-year goalie Lee Baines was left the lone defender, unable to halt three-men drives to the net. With the score 4-0 and Baines pulled far out of the box. Will Oliver made one of Rappahannock's best (and only) halfback defensive plays. Seeing the goal undefended, Oliver rushed at the net, getting a foot on the ball just inches away from another score and sending it back towards midfield. Baines fell in a heap with a yellow shirted opponent; both had to be helped to the bench for ice packs on pulled leg muscles. It seemed to get harder and harder for the Panthers to remember plays and patterns. Like iron fillings to a magnet, they pulled towards each other, ending in a clump of blue jerseys at the center of the field. When a man broke free with the ball, there was never anyone open to receive the pass. Goal shots were taken 20 and 30 yards out and handled easily by the EM goalie. Defense from fullbacks and halfbacks was practically non-existent as Eastern Mennonite extended the lead to 6-0 at the half. The second half was even worse. EM opened play with three blasts at Rappahannock’s goal in the first minute. All three were wide. The fourth went off the tips of Baines’ fingers into the net. It seemed like there were more yellow jerseys than blue on the field. Everywhere a Panther passed, there was a yellow jersey waiting for an interception. The goose egg on Rappahannock’s side of the scoreboard didn’t change; the tally on Eastern Mennonite’s side kept climbing until the referee’s whistle ended the barrage at seven. Except for a few justifiable complaints about less than impartial calls for violations, the RCHS boys offered no excuses. “They made me feel like a little kid in kindergarten," said Will Oliver. “They were really good.” “Eastern Mennonite is the best team you’ll play all year,” coach Davis told his boys. Dejected and embarrassed at the end of the game, the RCHS players unanimously agreed that they had not done well. But by the time the bus stopped for dinner in Luray a half hour later, the talk was all of what they had to change in the rematch with Eastern Mennonite in order to change Thursday’s dismal 13-0 outcome to a tally that includes goals for Rappahannock. / Ladies Down Two District The Lady Panthers are on a streak, maybe a ministreak, but still something to smile about after last season's spirit deflating record. They faced Bull Run District opponents in games last Thursday and Monday nights and beat them both. “The girls are building up their confidence," said coach Theresa McLawhom who has maintained continually that it would take only a few victories to turn her girls around. “They're starting to believe in their shots. They’re getting better each game. Every girl on the team is giving 150 percent!" In Thursday’s home contest against Manassas Park, three Panthers hit double figures, a first this season. But it still took everything the girls could pull from their back pockets to hold off a determined attack by the Cougars in the fourth quarter. The Panthers played near perfect basketball in the opening period. “We had good passing, a good, quick offense, good ball handling, very few mistakes and a super aggressive defense,” coach Mcl.awhorn said. And it showed on the score board: Rappahannock 17. Manassas Park tv The girls continued their evenly paced, consistent performance in the second period forcing the Cougars to resort to more physical play to pain control of the temp. The visitors were tapjied repeatedly for fouls, sending the Panthers to the line seven times for four points. At the half, the home team had extended the advantage to 31-15. During the break, a little of the Panthers' edged slipped away. They began the third period stiff-legged and hesitant. “They were thinking too much. And they made a few defensive mistakes," McLawhorn said. The most critical was allow - ing Manassas Park inside the zone for short little shots that upj>ed the Cougars’ tally to lti for the period while Rapp scored only half J that many. Ahead by .just eight, the Panthers battled to maintain their eom|H>sure and the lead. They went into the final periinl without Karen Jordan. Rapp's all district sophomore center who fouled out late in the third. “They just controlled the ball ami kept scoring. They showed lots of stamina, lots of guts and lots of hustle. They played well as a TKAM." said coach Mac. At the buzzer, it was lb-47 Rappahannock and the home town fans exploded The kind of team play coach Mac was applauding is evident from the scoringRappahannock had a balanced attack. Jordan with 14. Mo Turner with Id, Kim Settle with 10. Natalie Rut ler with seven. Donna Atkins with three and Connie Compton with two. Repeat At Itrcntsvillc Playing in a sweat box gym at Hrentsvillc Monday, the Panthers were again called on to hold off a deter L M. mined challenge in the final minutes and again they responded. As in the came with Manassas Park, the Rappahan nock girls dominated the first quarter. The Timers came out of the locker room with a full press and the Panthers blew them right off the court, taking a quick 13-6 lead to break the defensive pressure. Guard Kim Settle led the hustle out front assisted bv her partner at the position, Donna Atkins. Karen Jordan ami Mo Turner joined forces underneath the basket to keep the Brentsville girls from even catching the ball, much less scoring. If the frustrated Tigers wanted to score, it had to Ik* from outside—way outside. It didn’t happen often. At the half, the Panthers were in front, 23-14. With Jordan on the bench in foul trouble, the Brentsville girls came back m the third, outscoring Rapp 3-ft. "It was that third (Continued on Page 11) Make Your Life Easier...

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Lfe Winery Is An Oasis Of Quality Wines Served With Southern Hospitality By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Staff Writer “Good trines will be made in America as in Europe. . . The cine is congenial to evert/ climate itt Europe from Hungary to the Mediterranean, and trill be bound to succeed in the same temperatures here wherever tried by intelligent viguerons" — Thomas Jefferson, IfiJJ Most Americans remember Thomas Jefferson as the author of the Declaration of Independence, a young nation's third President or founder of the University of Virginia. But the viticulturists of the Commonwealth’s burgeoning wine industry remembers the man from Monticello as America's first vineyardist. a promoter of American wines, a vissionary who 200 years ago foresaw the birth of an enterprise that is just now coming into its own. Corrine and„I)irgham Salahi are firm believers in Jefferson's dream. They’re proving that it can become a reality, that good wines will be made in America.

FRONT ROYAL, VA. 22630 (703) 636-2901 their Oasis Vineyard near Huntly, they are growing French hybrids and European vinifera vines which will be squeezed and aged into gold and silver medal winners. Jefferson's attempts to produce the fine grapes that are transformed into fine wines were foiled by the root louse phylloxera, by black rot and by powdery mildew that attacked the . vines and the fruit. The Salahis and other Piedmont vineyards from Middleburg to Charlottesville combat the diseases of Virginia’s humid summers with modern spraying and grafting techniques. Everything about the Oasis operation is modern. No longer is there a little old winemaker sipping from dusty wooden barrels in a dank basement festooned with spider webs. Today’s winery — at least in the U.S. where strict sanitation standards are applied — is gleaming and sterilized, stainless steel and porcelain. Although tasting is still a key element in the production of fine wines, the evaluation of the grapes is now (lone with more objective criteria. “It’s very scientific. It’s not just smell and tasting anymore,” said Corrine Salahi. Analyzed Daily As harvest time approaches, the grapes are analyzed daily for sugar and acidity. The work at Oasis is done in a lab flooded with sunlight through giant picture windows. White walls, white floor, white counters, racks of glass beakers, precision measuring equipment — the little room appears designed for experiments with cultures and microbes rather than for grape testing. On the walls of the lab, the Salahis keep graphs showing the rise of sugar content and the fall of acidity in their grapes. “We’re not just looking for the right sugar content,” Corrine explained. “A perfect balance is more important than just sugar content,” she said, adding that the East Coast, and Virginia in particular, produces grapes of better acidic levels than does California with its much hotter summers. Once that point of perfect balance is reached, there’s precious little time to waste. “Today, we find out — tomorrow, we pick,” Corrine said. In the early morning hours while temperatures are still cool (to increase the likelihood that the grape juice will better retain odor and flavor), the pickers begin filling their baskets. The baskets are emptied into tractor-towed grape wagons pulled up and down the rows of the 35 producing acre& at Oasis. The wagon races back and forth to the winery, transferring its cargo to the stem separator before the sun baking down on the fruit can change sugar or acidity levels by even a fraction of a percentage point. The separator also removes any rotten fruit but if the wagonloads brought in Thursday were any indication, it’s a task called for infrequently. Of the hundreds of pounds of grapes carried by the wagon, all looked perfect.

Sponsored by the: Sperryville Fire Dept. Color From Skins White grapes go directly from the stemmer to the press; red grapes take a side trip to a fermenting tank. ‘Red wines get their color from the skin of the grapes,” noted Corrine. “The length of time they stay in the fermenting tank depends on the variety of fruit. Some varieties give off their color quicker.” In the press, rotating disks at each end move to the center, squeezing juice from the fruit. The juice is pumped to a refrigerated tank where it’s kept at 30 degrees the first night to clear the juice and retain fruity taste and aroma. Then it’s sent to another stainless steel fermenting tank. The tank is jacketed and a continually running hose bathes the sides in cold water to keep the juice cool. At this point, yeast is added to increase fermentation. Sediment settles to the bottom of the tank as the sugar in the juice changes into alcohol. “We test it all the time in the lab so we can control how' dry the wine gets,” Corrine said. When the Salahis determine that the proper dryness has been achieved, the young wine is pumped to holding tanks for “racking”, the process by which the clear juice is pumped out of the top into a clean tank and then topped with either more juice or heavy hydrogen gas to avoid contact between the delicate liquid and the air. The five-inch concrete tanks with their epoxy, porcelain-like interior finish are not refrigerated. Instead, tbev have a built in heat exchange system that keeps all the wine at the same low temperature. The Italian-made tanks are half the price of stainless steel, “even though they come from sooo far away,” Mrs. Salahi noted. “They weigh five and a half tons apiece. That’s the only drawback,” she added, laughing. “Once they’re installed, you can’t rearrange the furniture!” Corrine points to the winery itself as another component of the temperature control system. The downstairs portion of the building, tucked half into the ground, has concrete walls and ceilings nine inch thick. Even during last week’s record breaking heat, the interior was cooly comfortable. The white wine is aged in the concrete tanks; the red in oak barrels. “We usually keep the red in oak for six months but there’s no set rule on how long it must stay. The older the barrel, the longer it takes for the oak flavor to permeate the wine. We start tasting it after six months and when its ready, we take it out,” Corrine said. Next year, the Salahis will experiment with aging part of their chardonnay harvest in oak for the first time. “Oaking of white wanes is a California style. Winemakers don’t do it in Italy and France. White wine is extremely light, very fruity, delicate.

September 21, 1983 / Castleton Area News By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock N»wi Cormpundent M7-40S1 Castleton weaver Kim Jacobson is helping to organize and publicize a 19th century style crafts fair in D.C. in October. Kim knows all the old secrets of dying yarn with local plant materials like pokeberries and onion skins and teaches vegetable dyeing at the Smithsonian as well as Washington’s Textile Museum and Decatur House museum. Local artists will be able to study with her at a special workshop on October 1. The class size is limited and she asks you to call her to register in advance. While Mitch and Gene were at their class Monday night, Judy Hitt and Donna Fisher were EMT widows. Donna says that’s worse than being a Monday night football widow cause at least a sports fan is in the same building with you. But in ways it’s better to be a Monday night KMT widow. Come December 8, Castleton will have new emergency medical technicians. Says Donna, “We also serve who stand and wait." Then she put on a pot of coffee so she and Judy could get caught up on the news. Like how Lynn Myrtle visited Mitch and Judy Sunday accompanied by the most gorgeous redhead—the prettiest girl around—the Myrtle’s six-week-old daughter. Lynn is on leave from the school until November and Judy is substituting in her fourth grade classroom. The two teachers wanted to go over the lesson plans. And like how the Fishers went to I). C. for Sunday dinner and spent the day with Gene’s mother. And how Judy had to handle the rescue call for her own daughter Friday. Judy savs she was drivinir hump from school when she saw Kerrie and Donna (layle out on their ten speeds. And were they seeding! Judy says she was ready to cuss them out. But Judy was only mad for a minute. She saw the whole thing through her rear view mirror—how Kerrie lost control of the ten speed and toppled down the road. She messed her knee up pretty bad and twisted the ligaments in her right leg. Judy got the ambulance and the EMT put a splint on Kerrie, then they all carried her to Culpeper. The doctor said Kerrie might be a long time healing because she did such a job twisting the ligaments. Now she’s hobbling around in leg braces and on crutches. But we're real glad it wasn’t worse. Judy got compliments from someone else for her rescue know-how. She was driving the ambulance when Milton Switzer went to the hospital. The Switzers say Judy and the paramedics did a su|M*r job and wanted to give them a special thanks. They also say there will be good revival meetings at Hope Hill next week. Rev. Roger Freeman from Nokesville will be preaching at Castleton’s only church each evening at 7:30 starting tomorrow. He'll stav til the 28th. Nancy Schoppet is busy Retting ready for the Boost ers' dance tomorrow night at the high school. Billed as the “Back to School Boogie Two", the event features Rock & Roll, Top 40, and Soul and goes to fund new computer equipment for the school. Tickets are $2. If you know some teenagers, send them. (We understand our Castleton correspondent is too old to go to a dance at the gym). By the way, our Castleton correspondent who lives in Amissville works in Washington and gets her mail in Warrenton has been looking at cabins in Bear Wallow Hollow from which it is as you know long distance to call Castleton. If you know of some cheap place where she can stay with That Cat, give us a cali. She wants to leave the bustlin metropolitan life of Amissville and get away to a quiet cabin in the pines in the country where she can write this column beside a babbling brook. Ami wouldn’t it be a kick if the Castleton correspondent were to actually live in Castleton? The biggest birthday celebration last week was (Tah! Tah! l)ah!) in honor of Lillian Frazier. Waverly told her they were going shopping at the Manassas Mall Saturday. Ami when they got there, it was a surprise get-together dinner at the Cheaspeake Seafood House. Ellen Wharton and Mr. & Mrs. Mark Tharpe from < ul pe[>er were there and grand daughters Kim and Karen Colvin from Rapidan and Shannon if ml Tonya Tharpe. Kim stayed Saturday night at Castleton. Waverly says the shopping part got done, too. He gave Lillian a nice dress, some sweet cologne, and a big fat free (the best things in lift* art*) kiss for her birthday. Plus he’s being a gentleman and not telling how old she is. She’s pretty lucky to have such a great guy to spentl her birthday with. The Holsrhuhs have a pretty great houseguesl this week. She’s Helen’s stepmother Helene Stafford from Stuart, Florida. She arrived Sunday anti expects to leave sometime today. Helen and Howard had just returned from ( apt* ('tale. They stayed at Orleans from September 9-1C anti took a boat out to go whale watching. Helen says they were way out off the coast anti saw two humpbacks. They also saw a lot of water, a lot more than anyone else from Castleton has seen lately. We still keep searching the clouds, but what's the use? As Aunt Michele says, “Only a fool insists on dipping in a dry well." Them home-grown tomatoes artmighty tiny. (Were those raindrops we felt on outbacks or simply the salty tears of the thirsty?)

Quipped Kstabrook, “Surely we didn’t order a pond and lake as part of our parking lot." He recommended withholding the contractor's final check until the problem is dealt with and the architect has approved formal acceptance of the building. tvstanrook planned to m spect the building with the architect on Wednesday. The final cost of the Inis shop/central office construction came to $127,000, down from the January bid price of $138,871, hut still higher than the original projected cost of $100,000. In January the hoard voted to eliminate the requirement that the parking lot have a double seal and prime in order to reduce the contract by $8,000. An open Rouse and tour will be planned after final acceptance. New Floor The school board also approved payment of $1,020 to the Randolph Shop in Cul peper for installing a new floor in the home economics room at the high school. Estabrook said the price was in line with replacing the tiles in what lie described as “an over-sized classroom” and explained that the problem had started while the building was closed for vacation during Christmas, 1980. Estabrook says some water pipes burst while the building was dosed and the water stood on the floor for some time before it was discovered. Ladies Win Two (Continued from Page 5) quarter syndrome again,” the coached noted. “But we snaj)|»ed out of it again in the fourth.” Up by just a slim three points, 26-23, the Panthers put together another team effort. Turner was a terror on the boards. Butler and Compton drew fouls with their aggressive play and then connected from the free throw line. Hustling guard Kim Settle went four for four at the charity strip. At kins kept the ball under con trol and triggered the offense. Ann Tupper, substituting for Jordan, until mid way through the period, created a couple of Brentsville turnovers. The Rappahannock girls increased the margin to eight. Then with Ik 15 left, the Tigers returned to the full court press that worked so poorly at the start of the game. This time, it was success. The Panthers stumbled into five turnovers in 15 seconds and Brentsville cut the lead to two. But with Settle hitting the boards and setting the pace with At kins, Rappahannock held on for a 40-34 win. The Lady Panthers pulled in 2X defensive rebounds, a season best. No one hit double figures but everybody scored. Settle was high with nine followed by her cohort as guard, Donna Atkins, with eight. Butler, Turner and Compton each added six and .Jordan contributed five. In assessing the performance, Coach MacLawhorn passed out praise to Penny Atkins and “Bean” Stringfellow who came off the bench in the second quarter to give the first flight guards a much needed breather. The Lady J’anthers are now 3-4 overall and 2-1 in the Bull Run District. This Thursday, they face Strasburg, the Bull Run leader, at home and Tuesday, they travel to Falls Church to take on the Mustangs in another district game.

Huntly Winery s (Continued from Page 6) ness carried a pleasant coolness even though the wine w as served at room temperature rather than chilled. The young chardonnav lacked body but it held the promise that weight will come w ith aging. The riesling, a bronze medal winner at the recent Virginia Wine Festival, was light and slightly sweet with a nice, flow ery aroma. Awarded a silver medal by the Kcole de Vin, judges at this year’s festival, the Oasis cabernet sauvignon will only improve with age. Most young cabernets are sharp, rough wines. This left an aftertaste a bit harsh but it was more, than balanced by fullness and a wonderful woodsy bouquet. The deep red color of this wine is an indication that the skins of the grapes weren’t removed too early from the fermenting tank, a trick that will produce a smoother, less tannic wine when young but a wine that will not mature to the greatness of which a cabernet sauvignon is capable. Pleasing to both nose and palate, this wine will reach its potential after aging for a few more years.

It’s a festive drink, light, fruity, very dry, a rung below the good French champagnes but superior to most of the New York and California varieties of comparable price. At $12 a bottle, it's the most expensive of Oasis’ products. Hut the price is more than reasonable, considering the painstaking care that goes into producing champagne in the traditional method developed by the gentleman named Dom 1’erignon. According to Corrine, Oasis uses primarily the chardonnay grape for its champagne. After the white wine is finished, a little yeast is added to the bottle and cork is replaced with a screw-on-cap, just like the ones used for soft drinks. The bottle lays fiat on its side tor six months during the second fermentation sparked by the yeast, the fermentation that gives champagne its characteristicbubbles. That fermentation produces more sediment so after six months on its side, the bottle is turned upside down for riddling — twice a day. every day, for at least three months, the bottle is lifted, shaken, turned exactly 15 degrees and then put back down. According to Corrine, this causes the sediment to precipitate and settle m the cap. Then after three months of riddling, the neck of the bottle is very, very carefully stuck into dry ice. “In two or three seconds, the neck is frozen and in the ice, we have the sediment,” Corrine explained. “Then we place the bottle at an angle, open the cap and let the ice fall out. We have to be sure that the rest of the good stuff stays inside,” she added, with a laugh. Once the ice is removed, there’s space in the bottle. Filling that space brings the winemaker’s skills into play. What goes in is the “dosage,” the secret recipe known only to the winemaker (and in Virginia, to the Alcohol Beverage Con trol Board). It may be more champagne or champagne mixed with sugar or honey “Only the winemaker has the exact recipe,” Corrine added. The Oasis winery with a capacity of 100,000 gallons and 35 acres now producing grapes is no backyard vineyard and home cellar operation. But that’s exactly how it started. Corrine, a native of Belgium who has spent most of her life in Virginia, explained that she and her husband bought their land along Route 035 as an investment. Her experience with wine lay only in the drinking, she acknowledged with a wide smile. Dirgham’s was a little wider —he had grown grapes in the backyard for his kitchen winery. They planted five acres of vines on their Hume property just as a hobby. “Then enthusiasm took over, we spent weexenos here, we camped in the barn while the backyard of outhouse in the city was overwhelmed by weeds. Finally, I said, ‘That’s it!” and we moved out here.” With the rose colored Salahi home and winery, the acres of grape-planted hillsides sloping gently down to a pond, “here” looks more like the Middle East than Virginia. But Corrine and Dirgham have adopted Southern hospitality if not Southern architectural styles. They welcome visitors txrthe- winery through out the year, in the middle of the busy harvest season or in the end of winter. Their guided tours are informative and friendly, spiced writh humor and glimpses into their family life. (Their son, Ismail, was hauling the grape wagon back and forth to the winery last week. Is he in training as a future Oasis winemaker? No, Corrine said. The young man is a painist studying at Lawrence University to be a conductor and hopes to enter Julliard next year.)

Dirgham extols the wonders of the noble grapes produced by Virginia’s summer weather, as perfect for vinifera wines this year as it was a disaster for corn, apples, peaches and vegetables. He points with pride to the 18 medals taken by Commonwealth wines at a recent competition for wineries east of the Rockies, more medals than any other single state. He and Corrine both predict that Virginia will soon unseat New York as the second most important wine producing state in the U.S. And both the Salahis are fervent in their affection for their vineyards, their grapes, their winery and their wine. Their eyes flash with excitment as they describe the pleasure of producing and tasting a fine chardonnay, champagne or cabernet sauvignon. They are dedicated to their undertaking. “During harvest season, we have to be up all night. We have to rise at midnight and again at 6 a.m. to stir the wine,” Dirgham said. “During harvest season, we are married to the winery. We are married to the wine,” he added, smiling broadly. Obviously, the marriage at Oasis is a happy Wilson Trains Cadet Charles S. Wilson, son of Charles T. and Alexa E. Wilson of Amissville, received practical work in military leadership at the U.S. Army ROTC advanced camp. Fort Bragg, N.C. The six-week camp, attended by cadets normally between their- third and fourth year of college, includes instruction in communications, management and survival training. Successful completion of the advanced camp and graduation from college results in a commission as a second lieutenant in either the U.S. Army, Army Reserve or National Guard for the cadet. Wilson is a ROTC cadet and a student at Virginia Military Institute, Lexington. Correction The real estate transfers in the September 15 issue of the Rappahannock News listed Kenneth R. Pullen as purchasing lot numbers 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 in the Wakefield District. It should have read lot 12, 13, 14, 15 and 35 ft of lot 11. The News regrets the error. ■*. Funding Appeal To HUD (Continued from Page 1) has to be presumed that the responsible agencies, the Health Department and the State Water Control Board, will do their jobs,” Baumgardner said. Either the group home complies with standards set by those agencies “or they’ll deny any permits sought,” he assured Young. No Opposition Before beginning efforts to secure local zoning approvals and funding for the group home, Snead said he first asked neighbors of the old ski area site if they objected to his plans. Clarence Baldwin, supervisor from Hampton District, added that he had talked directly with owners of the property adjoining the site of the proposed group home and confirmed that he’d found no opposition to tuv pi “Those are the people most directly effected," Snead said. He told the supervisors that he’d also attended the last meeting of the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association. "I think we’ve got our heads together. . . I told them we would include them from the ground on up and I intend to do just that.” Supervisor Hubert Gilkey, who was also at the Fire and Rescue Association meeting, agreed that the group home presented no problems to the county’s emergency service units. Snead acknowledged that people have expressed anxiety regarding the type of patients to be served by the adult home.

The staffing projections detailed for the group home are just that — projections, Snead emphasized. "They’re only projections for trying to get financing through the federal government. It’s a long and tedious process,” he said, adding that he has now been working on the project for two yeas. “And we’re still a year away from getting it off the ground, if at all. If we don’t get HUD financing, the project will have to be postnoned (or abandoned). Supervisor H.B. Wood asked for the number of patients the group home would serve and the staff anticipated to man the facility. “We have approval for 120 beds,” Snead said, reporting that plans called for a total staff of 70 (including nrofessional and non-professional). “Then again, that’s a projection only. It’s just like farming. You see what help you’ll need when you start working on it and then you hire the people you need to get the job done!” In a 4-0 vote with Wood abstaining, the board endorsed the HUD letter as drafted by Baumgardner.

However, he proved warts are (benign) tumors that are caused bv a virus This could be the first important step in research in some cancers. It also showed there is little we know about these stubborn invaders. There are many methods of treatment and all do not work perfectly.

Review • Review • Review • Review Stray Cats Make You Hop and Bop By Jack Hope Special to Great Times The summer's almost over and just when you think it's safe to go back to school without missing any of summer's fun and rowdiness, the Stray Cats come out with a new album to make you jump, bop and hop to the music. So wad-a-u-waitin' for? The Stray Cats are back and purrin' on their new album Rant N' Rave. In their second domestic album, the revivalists of rockabilly (a fusion of early rock and roll and folk music) have again brought back the feeling of the rip-roarin' 50s. The lyrics in these songs, while more commonplace in the 50s, are no less applicable today. The hit single "She's Sexy + 17" is bound to become this fall's anthem—like Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" ( I don't need no education...') did in 1979. The album is full of yet undiscovered hits. Look out for "Rebels Rule" and "How Long Do Ya Want to Live Anyway. This is an album fora rowdy mood. P S. If you ever get the chance to catch these Cats in concert, jump for it. They're hot and packed with power. Emotion, an album out by DFX2 is dedicated "to the free spirit of radio.” However, the group may find, unfortunately, that none of their songs will receive airplay on any top AM or FM station. At least not in this area. ■DFX2 is a band trying to mix melodic, soft rock with rough, edgy vocals, which if refined, could be nice to listen to. The only song on the disc that might receive airplay on "new music" stations is "Down to the Bone." Don't spend your money on this album. Buy Rant N' Rave. Snuff's new album Night Fighter brings forth images of nature's beauty: a sunset in the mountains, an effervescent sunrise sparkling off the surface of the ocean or a fragrant field of daisies. This album's secrets are harmonies that never change, a soft rock beat and a flavor of country, provided by Cecil Hooker playing four and five string guitars. Night Fighter is like a good book; it manipulates you emotionally. Starting with a slightly upbeat tempo in "Bad Bad Billy," the tone and tempo slowly diminish to soothing ballads like "Faithful." The album then reaches a peak in "Long Tall Sally," and ends with "Feels so Good." This is a good experimental album that might broaden you music tastes; not quite a "grabber," but close. Return with Us Now to the Turn Of the Century in Great Falls Great Falls is horsing around, but they're doing it in style. For those who would like to experience a time when the pace was a bit slower and more genteel, Great Falls offers the elegance of a by-gone era with a turn of the century outing from the Village Centre of Great Falls, Virginia to historic Great Falls Park. Guests can ride in a late 19th century roofseat brake carriage that accommodates 12 to 16 passengers, carrying them back in time with a high-stepping four-inhand team accompanied by both a whip and a footman attired in tradi tional British riding attire. Tours begin in September at the Village Centre, following through to December, then resuming in the early spring. For more information, contact the Village Centre Merchants of The Coachman, Ltd. Spohisticated Ladies at the Warner Theatre Sop hi sti cated La dies: N o FingerSnapping By Sandy Smith Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The opening night of Duke Ellington's Sophisticated Ladies at the Warner Theatre got off to a slow start and never quite picked up enough steam to make one walk away snapping his fingers and whistling a tune. Blazing out in a fiery red, the neon lights fef the title letters for the musical appeared one by one while the orchestra played the overture. The darkened theatre, the vibrant colors of the lights and the music set the scene, leaving the audience to settle back in their chairs for an evening with Duke. "I've Got To Be A Rug Cutter” brought the audience to life, when Bruce Anthony Davis, Brad Miskell, George i at Loudoun Furniture Berkline Recliners Large selection of assorted fabrics and styles.

Fancy, fast footwork, pirouettes, and the swaying, jumping and bumping of the energetic bodies flashed before the audience, draped in the suave and sleek colors of blacks and whites highlighted by dashes of bold reds or blues. The look of the Big Band Era was most definetly present, as costume designer, Willa Kim's creations exhibited her award-winning talents in such performances as " The Mooche," “Sophisticated Lady" and “Caravan." The glitter of gold bordered the sides of black tails , and the satin gowns topped with high necks of marabou and egret ruffled to and fro from the stage. The sounds of Duke Ellington and the lyrics of his songs evoked a range of emotion and sentiment. He truly was a genius and his feelings about life and society and music poured out of his songs with "heart and soul." An example is the song "Solitude," sung by the talented Dee Dee Bridgewater perched atop the high staircase in the background, while Janet Hubert embellished the lyrics with a combination balletmodern dance routine. Despite the beautifully orchestrated sounds by Leroy Glover, the impressive lighting by Jennifer Tipton and the direction of Mercer Ellington, the show doesn't seem to be able to hold its own throughout the entire performance. It depends greatly on such classics as "It Don't Mean A Thing," "Mood Indigo," and "Rockin' In Rhythym" to carry the weight for the rest of the show. Along with the Ellington music, a few outstanding performers in the show lend their talents to make Sophisticated Ladies work as a Broadway hit. The energetic, charismatic Gregg Burge steals the show in his solo "Kinda Dukish," with a most amazing demonstration of flap-ball-change and toe-heal to hit the floor. Tapping up and down the staircase, snapping his fingers and slapping his knees, Burge has endless zest and vitality. Along with Burge, Ira Hawkins, Christina Saffron, Janet Hubert and Dee Dee Bridgewater give a spirited performance throughout. Yet this still doesn't suffice to give the show that special ingredient that grabs an audience, making them walk out of the theatre musically fulfilled and ready to dance. w f/ Reston / Community Center Theatre presents Euterpe Chamber Players Renowned Musicians and Selected Members of the national Symphony Orchestra - Opening Concert - Saturday, September 24, 8:30 p.m. Telemann, Britten & Faure \ Single Ticket $8 Series of Four $30 Sunday, November 20 Mozart, Dohnanyi and Schumann Saturday, January 21 Prokofiev, Mozart and more Saturday, March 24 Mozart and Brahms Call 476*4500 Masterc.harqc <*\ Visa

Bill Garrett: Documenting the Natural Wonders By John Arundel Special to Great Times Rafting the icy, glacier-ridden waters of Tatshenshini River in the Yukon Territory of Juneau, Alaska is an unusual way for anyone to vacation. But it was here on what natives call "the last frontier" that Bill Garrett, National Geographic's editor-in-chief, this summer concluded a 10-day rafting expedition down one of the world's most unspoiled rivers. Garrett is the seventh editor of National Geographic, a magazine founded in 1888, which today is the third largest magazine in the world, boasting a worldwide circulation of 11.6 million. In his 30 years with the magazine, Garrett has written and/or photographed 28 articles for National Geographic in addition to performing his primary editing responsibilities. Garrett has also cbntributed frequently to the National Geography Society's book publications, and was co-producer of the award-winning National Geographic television special, "Alaska!" Warmly clothed against the 50 degree Alaskan summer elements, Garrett, 52, appears more like an ad for Yukon Jack in his winter garb than an editor enjoying a working vacation. Says Garrett of Alaska, "It's like going back to the roots of all the world. Everything here is so primitive that you don't feel like the hand of man has changed it at all." Colleagues proclaim Garrett peerless—one of the most talented professionals in the magazine showplace. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of National Geographic Society, has worked be side Garrett for 29 years and comments, "He is without doubt the most brilliant picture editor in the profession today." Grosvenor, the greatgrandson of inventor Alexander Graham Bell (one of the founding editors), picked Garrett to succeed him as editor three years ago for his "ability to pick articles and photos, hone in on the message, and assemble them in an articulate layout." Grosvenor also commends Garrett's creativity, innovation, and inquisitiveness. Garrett leads an army of nearly 1,000 editors, reporters, photographers, and sales staff at Geographic's Northwest Washington home. "Bill is the kind of man you want with you in a canoe or backpacking in a politically tight situation," says Doug Chadwick, a free-lance contributor to the magazine who is now preparing a feature on grizzly bears. "When other photographers might run, Bill is still cocking his camera," Chadwick adds. Bill Garrett was bom in Kansas City, Missouri. He earned an Associate of Engineering degree at the University of Missouri while working'as a photographer for the Hallmark Greeting Card Company. Later, he served two years in the U.S. Navy as a combat photographer during the Korean conflict. Garrett returned to his home state to earn a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri at Columbia, but was cut short of graduating when he received an offer to become a full time photographer at National Geographic in 1953. Garrett remembers how he first shunned the opportunity, claiming he was not interested. According to Garrett, an insistent college professor persuaded him to accept, saying, "Work there a couple of years, learn what they can teach you, and then move on. It's now been 30 years and I'm still learning." Though National Geographic is frequently heralded for being a bodyguard of nature's interests, Garrett says the magazine never takes a clear stand on either side of an issue. "There is always a balance we should strike between conservation and utilization of the land," he says. Garrett says that while he instructs his writers to refrain from taking either a liberal or conservative position, he does implore them to "load the facts a little towards the area of conservation." Asked what single factor is responsible for the success of National Geographic, Garrett responds "Integrity. People feel they can trust the magazine." Maintaining integrity requires Garrett and his assistants to verify each piece of information in each article before publication. Garrett says that a sense of adventure is also responsible for making the magazine so popular. "We're a sort of arm chair traveler," he adds. Garrett professes that the most rewarding aspect of his job is working and meeting with people of colorful backgrounds. "At Geographic, a constant parade of really good people come through...biologists, anthropologists, geologists, mountaineers, adventurers, con-artists..."

Though he has traversed every continent except Antarctica in quest of Geographic articles, Garrett says he's most at home in his Great Falls residence. There he can escape the enormous pressures of a 12-hour workday by managing his small vineyard or his orchard. The gardening, though, he leaves to his wife of 32 years, the former Lucille Hall. They have two f— sons, age 30 and 31, both photographers. A voracious reader, Garrett savs a typical weekday might begin early with quiet reading at home before his chaotic work schedule begins at 8 a m. By 8 p.m., Garrett leaves his office for home, having skimmed through at least 40 periodicals and other reading materials. Garrett, whose radiant smile and broadmindedness earn him the admiration of friends and colleagues, is quietly aggressive when dealing with personal ambitions. He refrains from expressing what he might like to be in some future avatar, instead choosing to focus on what he might improve in his present position He describes being, editor of National Geographic as "a cross between a teacher and missionary." Garrett believes everyone has a motivation beyond making a living, and his is to "leave the world better than 1 found it." In June, 1^82 Mr Garrett was presented the Leadership medal of the United Nations Environment Programme for "outstanding environmental leadership." "I probably could make more money running a portrait studio in Great F-'alls than doing this," he admits, "But this is what 1 love."

MTV: Bringing Rock Stars into Your Home oy jacK nope Special to Great Timet Not only can you listen to your favorite record nowadays, you also can watch it being performed by your favorite group. Music videos are establishing completely new rules for the entire music industry. Record companies are quickly setting up video departments and musicians are now approaching videos not as merely supplements to their music, but as integral parts. National advertisers are finding that video clips attract a wide spectrum of viewers previously thought impossible to reach at one time—and all of this in a little over two years. Rock videos started about five years ago in Furope when shortages of radio stations willing to play new music, forced bands to find new avenues of exposure for their music. What began as a solution for European bands has become a multi-million dollar industry with most of the growth occurring in the last two years. Video has changed the way musicians approach their music. Musicians believe videos are so important they are investing staggering amounts of money in their production. This recent escalation in the availability and presentation of video clips has sent tremors throught the entire music industry. Record companies are no longer able to deny the importance of these clips in the promotion and sale of their products. Companies are quickly establishing video departments with budgets running well into the millions of dollars in order to reap the benefits video exposure brings. Video has changed the way musicians approach their music. Musicians believe videos are so important that they are investing staggering amounts of money in their production. The price of an average clip is between $35,000 and $45,000. Among performers who have spent spectacularly are Billy Joel, who invested about $100,000 on his “Allentown" video, and David Bowie, who laid out more than $150,000 on “Let's Dance." The attraction of video music is the lack of scheduling. There is no continuous plot. It is a world of visual short stories that go by on the screen with no real beginning, middle or end. Responsible for this sudden growth in the exposure of music videos is Music Television (MTV), the world's first 24 hour channel of video music. It was launched on August 1, 1981 by Warner Amex at a cost of more than $20 million. In two years, this Warner subsidiary has enrolled more than 14 million subscribers, reaching more than 15 percent of American homes. Also, it is carried on more than 1,300 cable systems. MTV has united the sound of FM stereo with the imagery of television, and created a totally new state of the art in television viewing. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days-a-week, music videos are bombarding the small screen almost non-stop. Eight minutes of hourly commercials, (six national and two local) and the polished chatter of the video-jockeys, called VJs, are the only interruptions in the mesmerizing barrage of images. The tremendous success of MTV in the musicvideo field has encouraged imitators. USA Cable Network offers “Night Flight” for four hours, t<vice weekly. Black Entertainment Television plays clips six hours weekly. Video Music Channel in Atlanta Dr. London BIG TOE BUNIONS I Bunions are formed from deviation of two adjoining bones, usually at the joint of the big toe and the first metatarsal. There are two types of bunion. The acute type, or bursitis, is sudden and painful. If it is not given the proper attention, the acute bunion may gradually develop into the second type—the chronic bunion, or hallux valgus. Though it is often a painless deformity of the big toe, sometimes it aches a lot. The bunion of bursitis is an inflammation of bursa, a sac containing fluid about the consistency of egg white. This bursa acts as a lubricant between the skin and the bones. Continual irritation by external pressure such as an ill-fitting shoe causes the sac to become inflamed, and the condition gets acute and painful—a bursitis. Brought to you in the interest ofbetter foot care by Reston Podiatry Associates, Inc. Reston Leesburg 11737 Bowman Jackson Medical Green Building 437-6333 Will soon be going national and NBC and CBS are both planning late night rock video programs. Music videos are starting to change advertisers' marketing strategies based on pre-profiled target groups. They capture a highly diverse spectrum of viewers. Nielson studies show that 25 percent of MTV's audience is composed of viewers between the ages of 12-17; 26 percent of those between 18 and 24; 27 percent are between 25 and 35; and 20 percent are over the age of 35. While music cable programs seem to offer the perfect advertising medium, and more than 135 national advertisers use M7V as an important instrument of advertising, (the list includes 7-Up, Atari, Kraft Cheese, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Chevrolet, Miller Beer and even the U.S. Army), cable has had a problem in changing the strategies and habits of advertisers because it is still a new and relatively untried advertising medium. Presently MTV charges only $1,000 to $1,500 for a 30-second spot; comparatively low for a national broadcaster. But MTV, yet unable to reap a profit, ilaims to be nearing the break-even point. Advertisers seeking extensive exposure of new products and the reinforcement of established products, may soon be unable to ignore cable channels as a viable advertising medium. The attraction of video music is the lack of scheduling. There is no continuous plot. It is a world of visual short stories that go by on the screen with no real begining, middle or end. At first glance, MTV could be called a channel for short attention spans. But evidence is to the contrary. The average MTV viewer watches an average of 68 minutes during the week and 93 minutes on the weekends. Music clips, watched critically, are a treasure chest of popular culture, showing the Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickfords of today. They are dressed modishly and exemplify popularly accepted social morales. These clips are the America and the Americans of today. People watch music videos shows to see pop groups “for free,” to see the latest fashions or just to relax and be entertained. It's the best of radio and television all in one package, according to most fans. Roberts Carpets CARPET SALE All carpet samples in store marked down Hundreds of styles and colors to choose from!

Grand Seasons are Coming to Area Theaters A By June Cook Alundel Newspapers Staff Writer Theatre fans have known it all along. There's something immediate about a live performance that nothing—not televison (even cable), not movies—can match. Even if you go reluctantly to see a play, chances are that night's performance offers something unexpected. Didn't A1 Pacino knock props into the audience in his exuberant role in "American Buffalo?" Didn't Elizabeth Taylor actually show up for all the performances of "Private Lives?" Wasn't Cicely Tyson beautiful even if her acting in "The Corn Is Green" wasn't so hot? Live performances can be touching, sad, inspirational, jubilant or terrible. But they're different every night, and one never knows exactly what's going to happen, right? This may be your year to share in some of the spontaneity of live theater. A cornucopia of offerings in the Northern Virginia area make this easy for you. Get your red pencil and sign yourself up. You'll be glad you did. ARENA STAGE Arena Stage has chosen eight plays for its 1983-84 season. They are: "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscas Wilde, "Beyond iiici ayy anu II l2>lgIUIlLciIlL;e, "As You Like It," "Three Sisters" by Anton Chekhov, "The Accidental Death of an Anarchist," "Quartermaine's Terms" by Simon Gray, "Cloud 9" by Caryl Churchill, and "Happy End" by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.

Painting In The South We all recognize certain elements of the South—its speech patterns, its architecture, its hospitality, its food and literature. But how much do we really know about that region of the country reffered to as “the South?" According to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, many of us know very little about the rich Southern painting tradition. So the museum decided to do something to remedy that situation. It began a comprehensive survey of the development of the art of the region. The result is a major exhibition entitled Painting In the South:1564-1980. The exhibit is sponsored by Philip Morris , Incorporated and opens at the museum on September 14, continuing through November 27. On September 22 and 23, there will be a twoday symposium on Southern lifestyle, history, culture and geography as well as art. The Virginia Museum is on Boulevard and Grove Avenue in Richmond, <Virginia. For times and other information, call 804-257-0866.

Madison i Middleburg By Clive Camie Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The new season on the East Coast will see some exciting competition as owners vie for the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association year-end awards. The fall steeplechase season started Labor Day at Fair Hill in Maryland and will culminate at Camden in South Carolina November 20. Steeplechasing originated in England in the late 16th century with informal races between foxhunters across country with the steeples of churches the final destination. In America the sport has been popular for more than a century. It is chiefly an East Coast sport that is found in the large foxhunting areas of the country such as Virginia and Maryland. Only thoroughbreds are permitted to race in steeplechase events. The governing body for the modern day sport in the United States is the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association (NSHA), which has its headquarters in Elmont, New York. Steeplechasing in America is faster paced than it is in Europe. That is because in Europe the fences are higher and harder.

For the fall 1983 season, there are 14 days of racing, with more than 80 races spread over a three-month period. Owners and riders will be racing for purses and trophies totalling more than $400,000. "It's going to be a very exciting season," said William Gallo Jr., assistant racing secretary for the NSHA. "There are several contenders for the Eclipse and NSHA Championship Awards in all of the divisions." The Eclipse Awards are the most prestigious ones given in steeplechase racing. The Horse of the Year is an important and closely contested title. The NSHA awards are given to Owner of the Year, Trainer of the Year and Rider of the Year. "The Horse of The Year award is a twohorse gamble this year," said Mr. Gallo. "Thrice Worthy and Double Reefed are the contenders. Thrice Worthy has won three of his four races this season, including the Lovely Night at Saratoga, for a total of $65,595. Double Reefed has won three out of five, including the New York Turf Writers Cup at Saratoga to earn $45,250. "Augustin Stable, owned by George Strawbridge Jr., who is also owner of Double Reefed, is the leading owner in winnings, with a total of $148,675. Jonathan Sheppard, trainer of both Thrice Worthy and Double Reefed, is the obvious trainer of the year. "And John Cushman, who has ridden Thrice Worthy in every race of that horse's career and Double Reefed in 23 races since 1980, is probably going to be the jockey of the year, for the fifth straight time.” The 'chasers got off to a poor start because of the dry weather and hard ground. Following the Fair Hill opening, racing moved to Rolling Rock, Pennsylvania, where there was racing September 14 and 17. Virginia is next on the circuit, and the Fairfax Hunt will host the opening meet at Belmont Plantation Saturday, September 24. Following Fairfax comes Charlottesville, where the Foxfield Fall Races Saturday, October 1, feature the American Grand National, one of the oldest steeplechase races in the country. The Virginia Fall Races at Middleburg will, for the first time this year, be held for two consecutive days, October 8 and 9. This promises to be an interesting meet with races geared to all owners. After Middleburg, nearby Morven Park is the site for racing Saturday, October 15.

The program at Fairfax begins at noon with junior and pony races and some flat racing. The major events start at 2 p.m. with two non-sanctioned races (not recognized by the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, the governing body for steeplechasing in this country). There will be six races in all, three over brush hurdles, two on the flat and one over timber fences. "We have several sponsors for our racing this year, which has really helped our program," said Randy Rouse, chairman of the meet. "The United Virginia Bank is sponsoring a race (the third race By Clive Camie Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer with $2,500 added for maidens three years old and upwards), H.B.L. Imports is sponsoring a race similar to the Virginia Bank race, and our feature race, the Bowman Bowl, a three-mile timber race for four-year-olds and upward, now has a $5,000 added purse with sponsorship from the Touche Ross Accounting Company." General admission to the Fairfax course is $5, and spectators are encouraged to watch from the infield. "This is the best viewpoint for the whole cou rse," said—Den Himpz, promotion officer for the races. "You can see every part of the course unimpeded from the infield."

Drought Worries Steeplechasers By Clive Camie Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer ack of rain is the primary concern of everyone in steeplechasing this fall. On a dry and very hot Labor Day, the faU racing season opened with a meet at Fair Hill, Maryland. The number of entries there was very small compared to previous years—two races were scratched because of lack of entries. The major reason for a poor turnout, and the reason everyone connected with steeplechasing wants ram, is that the ground is like concrete at many of the East Coast courses. Owners do not want to risk injury to their horses by running them on hard ground. Many horses have not even been able to train over fences or on the flat because of the hard ground. "The dry weather has taken its toll," said William Gallo Jr., the assistant racing secretary for the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, the governing body for steeplechase meets in this coun- • try. I ihere have been several horses already that have broken down in training this season because of the heat and the hard ground. Entries are going to suffer like they did at Fair Hill unless we get some rain. “Soft going is ideal for steeplechasing, and hard is probably the worst. But it has to rain sometime. If we get a good amount of rain, then we should have a good season with some strong entries. If it does not rain, the entries will probably be light, but racing will still go on," he concluded. The ground at Fairfax is like concrete," said Don Himpz, promotion manager for the Fairfax Hunt Races, which start the steeplechasing season in Virginia." The drought has been less of a problem at some of the Virginia courses than it has at others. See DROUGHT, Page 12 Steeplechasing can be an exciting and dangerous sport as demonstrated by one of the riders in the photograph above. In the race for glory, serious injuries can be sustained by both horse and rider. Great Meadow •* >. : -a.-v v Those Whose Eurfy Contribution of Time, Equipment and Funds ’ '•> iS.y'4 'r A' ♦ V.

Extra Work Required Because of Drought Thundering Hoofbeats From an informal competition among English foxhunters, the sport of steeplechasing has grown, traversing international borders and gaining huge numbers of participants and ferns. The sport has grown tremendously in popularity in this country, and a full season of events are scheduled along the East Coast. The Season Begins EVENTS, from Page 8 will be steeplechasing at Belmont Park in New York Friday, October 14, when the feature race will be the $40,000 added Temple Gwathmey. For this, the 60th running of the two- mile and fivefurlong Gwathmey, both Double Reefed and Thrice Worthy are expected as entrants. Then the racing goes north again to Monmouth County Hunt in Red Bank, New Jersey, Saturday, October 22. Also on October 22, Geneseo, New York, hosts races. The Genesee Valley Hunt's card includes pony, junior rider, nonthoroughbred and local owner races. The Essex Fox Hounds in Far Hills, New Jersey, hold the next races Saturday, October 29, featuring the $20,000 added Samuel Martin Memorial. The late Marion Du Pont bcott s Montpelier estate is the site for racing Saturday, Nov. 5, when the Noel Laing Handicap is featured. On Saturday, November 12, racing moves to Unionville, Pennsylvania, for the $8,000 added Beefeater Pennsylvania Hunt Cup. The final race of the season is at the Colonial Cup International Springdale Course in Camden, South Carolina. This course was also owned and operated by the late Mrs. Scott, who was one of the pioneers of steeplechasing in this country. She was the first to breed horses specifically for steeplechasing instead of transforming a mediocre flat racer into a jumper as many trainers and owners had been doing in the past. Mrs. Scott established the spring season's Colonial Cup, America's first $100,OCX) added jump race, at Camden in 1970. The fall feature race at Camden will be the 14th running of the $50,000 added Colonial Cup International Steeplechase over two miles and six furlongs. DROUGHT, from Page 11 "The course at Morven has been heavily mulched, and we have had some rain over the past few months," said Dr. J. M. Rogers, a member of the Morven Park Board of Trustees. "If we do not get any rain before race day (October 15), we will water the course; there is a fire hydrant at the Morven Equitation School, and we can also buy water from the town of Leesburg, so the going will not be hard." Further south in Charlottesville, the situation does not seem to be too bad either. "We have a full time staff to work on the course here," said Stephen P. Groat, the director of the Foxfield Fall Races. "I think we have a very nice course, and the ground is in good shape. We have had rain down here, so I do not think the going will be hard. I am hoping that we get a strong field of entries." A few days like September 13 will also help to save the steeplechasing season and make it as exciting as it has the potential to be. Dr. Joseph Rogers of Leesburg is the owner of Private Gary, a horse that has been doing well around the country this year. Private Gary won the Virginia Gold Cup at Warrenton in May of this year and was second in the Arlington Timber Steeplechase at Arlington Park in Chicago. "We just got rubber-padded shoes for Private Gary," said Dr. Rogers, "but maybe we won't need them." Rubber-backed shoes provide some absorption for the impact on a horse's legs when it runs and jumps on hard ground. But the shoes can slow the horse down a bit too, which makes owners prefer not to use them. Randolph Rouse, chairman of the Fairfax Races, was ecstatic about the recent rain. "It was a Godsend. It was really vital that we had some rain for the course at Fairfax. This will help renew the vigor of the grass more than it will soften the ground. If the grass can grow a bit, it will provide good cover so that the ground will not dry up and harden so quickly. "The renewed grass will also add some absorption to the course so the horses should not need to use rubber padded shoes to race in. But it would be really nice if we could get a bit more rain before race day too!"
