>» f 16 Pages Since 1877 THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 29, 1983 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 6T.»-3349 Commissioners Agree To Permit Power Distribution Lines By Right By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Kenneth Nichols from Potomac Edison brought a zoning problem to the Rappahannock planning commissioners at last Wednesday’s meeting and left with assurances that a solution will be included in revised zoning regulations. “Several years ago, we encountered a problem with the Rappahannock county ordinance as it affects our ability to extend lines to serve Rappahannock customers,” Nichols said. Under current regulations, the utility can’t extend distribution lines without first going through the public hearing process, he said. “Under a strict interpretation of your ordinances, we’d even need a public hearing before we could reset a meter after it is removed from a home.” Nichols reported that the problem had been pointed out to George Davis, former county attorney and commonwealth’s attorney and one of the authors of Rappahannock’s zoning laws. “He wrote me a letter saying in essence *We really didn’t mean that,’ that the public hearing requirement was intended to apply to main feeder lines to towns and subdivisions.” According to the Pot Ed representative, ordinances in other counties — specifically Rockingham, Warren, Greene, Albemarle, Loudoun and Fauquier — distinguish between (1) distribution lines and (2) transmission lines and substations in calling for public hearings. Distribution lines are allowed by right and transmission facilities by special permit after an advertised public hearing, Nichols said. Requiring a public hearing and special permit for distribution lines will result in “a time and cost burden on our company, the Rappahannock people who want service and the zoning board because we’ll be here every month,” Nichols warned, requesting that distribution lines be allowed by right in the revised zoning ordinance. Professional planner Dick McNear who is assisting the planning commis sioners with review and revision of the current zoning laws, suggested allowing distribution lines by right but with a limitation to a 25foot right-of-way. “That’s not a msyor problem.” Nichols replied, adding however, that “as you narrow the width, you increase the ‘go back’, which ultimately you ' (the customer) pays for.” “Go back?” asked McNear. “Go back to the tree and trim again,” Nichols explained. Also, he maintained, in many cases a 25foot right-of-way will not allow sufficient room for anchor wires on the poles. “We can limit them in two ways — by right-of-way or by voltage,” interjected Newbill Miller. “Is there a voltage that makes sense?” Limit 34.5 KV “The limit on a distribution line is 34.5 kilovolts,” the utility spokesman answered. By specifying that limit, on lines allowed by right, the county doesn’t give up control, according to Nichols. “We don’t begin ne gotiation with a landowner (to extend distribution lines) until he has his building permit from the county and we don’t hook up the power until he has his electrical inspection from the county building inspector.” “As long as it’s clearly a distribution line,” Miller stressed. If the allowance of distribution lines by right is abused, “we can always act again (to change the ordinance),” he noted. All the distribution lines in Rappahannock at present (except in the Slate Mills area) are 7.2 or 12 kilovolts, Nichols said. When a distribution system is upgraded, Pot Ed goes to 34.5 KVs, he added. “That’s the state of the art.” McNear, who is Fauquier County’s professional planner, noted that “one of the best enforcement mechanisms we have in Fauquier (for zoning regulations) is cooperation with Potomac Edison over hook-ups. . . We’ve found a lot of mobile homes that way.” _Too Much Speaking on behalf of the (Continued on Page 16) Pickin' Styles ~lr, . — RappulwniHKk News PIhho»/D HuuhmN.ni DIFFERENT WAYS OF PICKIN — A worker in Twizzy Wood’s orchard scales a ladder to reach the Red Delicious apples starting to ripen now on Rappahannock’s trees (left) Ladies from Madison and Louisa, regular visitors to George Sharp’s Mountain Green Farm, stroll down the manicured aisles between dwarf trees to pick their own just perfect apples Remembering Hard Times This month’s history topic, pages 8 and 9, is the Depression, the county poor farm, the conservation camps of the ’thirties.

Police say damage amounted to $35,000 to the Mercedes. Its driver, Walter Nicholls, Jr., of Front Royal, was charged with driving under the influence and reckless driving. State trooper Harry Newlin says the accident happened on Route 522 near 662 at about 11 p.m. Nicholls was southbound on 522 and was negotiating a curve when he allegedly swerved into the path of a 1979 Mercury driven by Karen Minnis of Winchester. When she tried to stop, her car was struck from behind by the third car, a 19)S2 Ford pickup being driven by her father, John Minnis of Winchester. Newlin says damage to the Mercury was estimated at $3,000 and to the pick-up at $900. Newlin reported that Karen Minnis was apparently injured slightly, but no one was hospitalized. Treated at Culpeper Hospital were George Jenkins and El wood Byer, both of Madison, following a Monday evening accident near Sperryville. Newlin says Jenkins was (Continued on Page 4) Whitcairn Is Authentic Colonial “Whitcairn”, the home of Col. and Mrs. James T. White, Jr., near Flint Hill, will be one of the featured homes of the 27th annual Rappahannock County House Tour and Dried Flower Sale to be held October 15-16, sponsored by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish. This new house is an authentic Colonial Williamsburg reproduction built to calculated dimensions and scale with great attention to details such as customized weatherboard ing, shingles, moldings, windows and doors, mantels, paneling and cornices. It features a center hall, high ceilings and large chimneys. The landscaped grounds are highlighted by a small formal boxwood garden surrounded by a white picket fence, a bowling green and a patio with swimming pool. The pool and a large screened back porch with a marvelous view of the Blue Ridge Mountains are the only compromises with Colonial Williamsburg authenticity allowed by the owners who traveled and studied extensively before having their house plans finalized. Headquarters for the flower sale and house tour will be the parish hall of Trinity Church. Tea will be served from 2 to 5 p.m. at the home of Judge and Mrs. Raynor Snead in Washington on both afternoons of the tour. Box lunches will be available at Trinity Church prepared by the women of the Fast Baptist Church. Better Luck Next Year? By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rain at this point will help replenish the wells, but the growing season is shot, says Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield. “Whatever we get now I guess goes towards next year,’’ he said Tuesday. Throughout the summer Wingfield has kept the statistics to show just how dry it’s been—at least in Sperryville. His latest batch of figures reveal a total rainfall since July 1 of 6.08 inches. There were 11.47 inches during the same period last vear. During the past two weeks (September 13-20) there was just .34 inch of precipitation. Wingfield summarized September weather so far as generally 1.93 degrees warmer than the same period last year. The average high during the first 26 days of the month was 79.5 degrees; the average low was 53 degrees. By coincidence, the average low during the same period last year was also 53 degrees, but the average* high was 72.28. Precipitation during the first 26 days of September totaled 2.04 inches compared to 2.95 last year. fix tension agent Birgitt Thornhill says the slight increase in rain in September has helped the pastures. She says a few local farmers are able to make “some hay, not good, but the grass is greener. ” Thornhill doubted that recent frost warnings would pose serious hazards to the pastures because there is “not enough growth to freeze!” Nor would frost hurt the fescue, she said; and the corn has already been silaged or combined. In a letter to supervisors requesting a drought declaration earlier this month, Thornhill estimated the county’s corn loss at 40-80 percent. She also said the peaches and other fruit were decreased by 35-40 percent in size this year. l uesday 1 hornhill said it was too soon to tell if recent rain would size up the late apple crop. However, she said she had sent revised figures to the governor’s office on the county’s agricultural and horticultural losses this year due to drought. Thornhill said the figures were submitted on September Id but that the county had “heard nothing.” She said the statistics would be released after review by the governor’s office. Thornhill added that Cul peper and Fauquier Counties recently received drought disaster status. “There’s no reason why Rappahannock shouldn’t be,” she predicted. Meanwhile the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation has asked Virginia’s two United States senators and congressional delegation to work for relief for farmers who have suffered the effects of this year’s drought. VFBF spokesmen say the drought has crossed all segments of agriculture. Hog and beef producers were forced to liuuidate their livestock at deflated prices while feed cost skyrocketed with the lower supply. Beef and veal prices were down .7 percent in August, pork was down .(> percent, the most recent monthly dip in a continuing trend. This year’s drought combined with dry spells in other recent years, high production costs and low cash flow have created a financial situation of "crisis proportions” according to the VFBF report to congress. Farmers facing long-term high interest loans incurred (luring the 1977 and 19KU droughts are not able to meet their obligations.

I feel that 1 know the people of the county real well. I’m a native of Rappahannock and I’ve worked with the people here. in many different ways. 1 decided I wanted the opportunity to become sheriff of Rappahannock County again.” 2. ) What are your qualifications for the office.<* “I was deputy under a well qualified sheriff, Charles K. Estes, for seven years. And I was sheriff for four years. I had police work previous to that in the U. S. Army as a sargeant in charge of security patrols for the Second Field Batallion. Also while I was in military service, I was chief of an artillery firing battery for a period of 18 months. I worked with many people in that capacity, people with thoughts that differed very much. With that back John Walker Jenkins ground, I feel qualified for the job as sheriff of Rappa- • hannock County." •i.) What do you see as the hey issue in the catnpaigtt'1 “Being able to work with the public and have a close relationship with everybody, regardless of who, where or when. Also I feel I am able to work with people that others may not be able to understand or communicate with because I love to hear everybody’s side of the story.” (Continued on Page 3) Orfila Pledges To Meet Needs 1. ) What promoted your decision to seek the office of sheriff1 “The experience I had a deputy sheriff, the love I have for the county and a wish to make Rappahannock County my home. My dedication to law enforcement drew me to the election. I see a strong need for leadership and management in the sheriffs department— leadership and management that I can give.” 2. ) What are your qualifications for the office ? “I’m a former Rappahannock County deputy sheriff, hired by John Walker Jenkins in 1975. Then I was hired by Bill Butin after his first election, I left the sheriffs department for a position with the Virginia State Police in April, 1978. I was a trooper with general responsibilites for highway patrol. “On top of that, I was a member of the SWAT team in the Seventh Division, a first aid instructor, an instructor in general police topics at the State Police Martin L. Orfila Academy in Richmond and a fire arms instructor. I was a member of the State Police pistol team and was selected as the liaison officer for the communications dispatch section of the Seventh Division (which gave me a strong understanding of communications system driving selective enforcement program that was piloted in the Seventh Division and is now used throughout the state.

As an administrator, I have a B. A. Degree from the l niversity of South Carolina, and A. Degree, I have owned two businesses and directed the food and beverage operations for a major Richmond hotel. “My active law enforcement experience includes graduation from the Policy Academy in Waynesboro, Mark Karlv Wittl Virginia, and one years service as Deputy Sheriff in Rappahannock County. “While at the Police Academy, I was elected vicepresident and graduated second in my class with a 94 out of a possible 100 final score. At the University of South Carolina, I graduated with a grade point average of i'.HK out-of a jmssible 4.0, and was nominated to the National Dean's List.

I wanted to help the sheriffs department to continue to improve. £.) What ore your qualifications for the office f “I have two years of military police service and three years as a deputy sheriff. I’m a graduate of the basic law enforcement school given by the Central Shenandoah Criminal Justice Academy and I’ve completed additional courses in use of a breatholizer (for which I’m certified) and in accident investigation.” ■{.) What do you see as the key issue in the campaignf “There’s no real ‘key’ issue. If you wanted to focus on one, you could make it a key issue but none of the John Henry Woodward candidates have done that yet. “I do have priorities, however—to get the jail operational and to have the dispatch center run properly so that it assists the sheriffs department, fire and rescue companies and, most importantly, the people of Rappahannock County.” -J.)

Statewide losses are estimafecF in the neighborhood of $200 million, agriculture officials say. Across the country consumers will face continuing effects from the drought for some time. In releasing the latest consuirk r price index, the labor department showed the first food price increase in three months. Further increases are expected as the harvest continues. Food prices rose .2 percent in August. Most of the increase was caused by a 5.8 percent hike in fresh vegetable prices due to the drought. “DOC” GODFREY’S 1984 MAZDA PICK-UP TRUCK STANDARD EQUIPMENT INCLUDES: 5-speed transmission, tinted glass, inter nittent wipers, P205/75R14 Steel Belted Radi als, carpet, trip odometer, door mirrors, locking fuel filler door, vent windows, heavy-duty alternator, 1,400 lb. payload, 27-38 m.p.g.

What do you see as the key issue in the canipaignt “I believe the key issue in this election is that of basic protection of the people and the property of Rappahannock residents. All too often, while the letter of the law may be strictly adhered to, the spirit of the laws of the Commonwealth are ignored, simply because of inconvenience. In order to fully protect the people, the sheriffs department has to do more than the required minimum to justify its existence. A sheriffs department can only provide maximum results for the citizens if it is willing to put forth maximum effort.” It.) What makes your candidacy different from tnat of your opponents' “There are several differences in my candidacy. First, I believe that^ean effectively communicate with a broader, more diverse group of people than any of my opponents.This is extremely important since the sheriffs office serves all of the citizens of Rappahannock County, not just a limited group of people within a specific socio-economic level. To be able to work on a daily basis with all of the people, it is necessary to be able to communicate with all the different types that make up the county, whether they be orchardists, businessmen, farmers or migrant workers. “Another difference is my willingness to treat the sheriffs position as a fulltime responsibility. It is fairly obvious that one of the candidates has just spent a lot of money remodeling and relocating his business. This would indicate that the sheriffs office may not be of Adult Courses At Piedmont Piedmont Technical Education Center is once again beginning its Adult Basic Education (ABE) program to serve the citizens of Culpeper.

Box 855, Culpeper, Virginia 22701. prime importance to him. For me, the sheriffs position would be my only obligation and it would receive my full attention. “The other reason my candidacy differs from my opponents is that I am the only candidate with a college degree. I chose to finish my college studies because I felt the citizens of Rappahannock would benefit from the additional education I received.” ■r>J Nationwide, increased attention has been focused on ways to combat the drunk 'driver. What would you, as sheriff, do to curb drunk driving in Rappahannock? Would you consider instituting the latenight check points that have been used effectively in Maryland and in some Virginia counties and cities, including several nearby localities? “Naturally the problem of drunk driving concerns me greatly. However, the use of roadblocks in Rappahannock in recent times has been greatly overused. The result has been a large number of honest citizens consistantly harassed and delayed in their travels by the overuse of these roadblocks. Ad ditionally, I believe their general ineffectiveness, that is, on a percentage basis of violators caught, does not justify their continued use. Instead, they should only be used for special circumstances as needs dictate. “I believe it is far more effective to use observation as a means of controlling the drunk driver. A trained police officer can quickly spot an intoxicated driver and Take action, without inconveniencing law abiding citizens. “In my opinion, increased road patrolling is the best means of controlling the drunk driving problem in Rappahannock.” 6.) Rappahannock has a declining crime mte, according to statistics released by the State Police. But the county's clearance rate has declined at the same time. It is note the lowest in the area and one of the lowest in the state. What would you do. as sheriff, to improve the clearance rate, particularly on crimes of breaking and entering and larceny, the most frequently committed offenses in Rappahannock? “The sheriff s department needs an investigator to aid in clearing crimes. However, the problem is further compounded by the present schedule of the deputies going home at midnight. This contributes to the number of B & E’s that occur in the county, and makes the likelyhood of being caught remote. “To improve the clearance rate in the county. I have devised a new schedule that would allow for one member of the department to be named as a full-time investgator. In addition, my schedule would allow’ for allnight coverage without any increase in manpower.

The key to my solution is my willingness to perform daily law enforcement functions, thus freeing the deputies to work nights.” 7. ) If elected, will you move the sheriffs office to the newly renovated and expanded jail? “Yes, I would definitely move the sheriffs office to the new jail facility. This is where the office belongs, in a centralized environment with the other divisions of the department.” 8. ) How serious do you believe the drug problem is in Rappahannock? How do you plan to control the use and distribution of illegal drugs? “The use of drugs in Rappahannock does not appear to be extremely widespread, but appears to co-exist within several small groups of people who are consistently in trouble with the law in other matters. The problem, although small, cannot be denied and should be dealt with in full cooperation with the State Police Narcotics Division. They are best equipped to handle the problem acting on information supplied by the Rappahannock sheriffs department a major concern of mine is the use of drugs in the schools. Our children should be protected from this at any cost and anyone dealing drugs with school children will be dealt with harshly. “The major drug problem in Rappahannock is still alcohol. The abuse of this drug leads to other crimes, often of a violent nature. To help curb this problem, I plan on strictly enforcing those laws that relate to the abuse of this drug." 9.) If elected as sheriff, how do you plan■ to spend your working hoursI Specifically how many hours per week do you ends ion spending on act ice police work and how many in the office on paper work and administrative duties! “Since the size of the sheriffs department is limited by the population statistics of the county, it is imperative that the sheriff be an active member of the department. If I am elected, I plan on working full-time during the day doing active police work. This will free the deputies to work the evening and night hours when they are mos't needed. The administrative duties of the office can be handled by the sheriff during a small portion of the day, but does not require an entire day to accomplish. “Additionally, I will remain on-call during the night should an emergency arise.” 10. ) Do you think the present number of full and part-time deputies (three full-time, two part-time) is adequate? If yiot, why, and what position!s) would you add? ‘The State Compensation Board determines how many positions the sheriffs office will maintain. As long as they will not approve any new positions, the sheriff must make the best use of what personnel he does have. “With my proposed new scheduling, I can adequately staff the department using the present number of men.” 11. ) How many corrections and dispatch people do you think will be needed to operate the jail? As proposed, meals for prisoners will be catered by a local restaurant. Do you think this is a satisfactory arrangement? If not, what do you propose as an alternative? “A total of approximately five dispatch and corrections officers will be needed to staff the jail facility. “The proposed meal arrangement for the prisoners, that is, having the meals catered, is not ideal; however, in light of the expense involved in having a kitchen built and staffed, it remains the best alternative at this time.” 12.) From which areas of the county, and segments of the population do you think your strongest support will come? “My strongest support comes from these people who truly wanted to see a professional law enforcement department that responds when needed. I have a broad base of supporters from around the county and I will serve them all with diligence.” Vote For PETER LUKE for Commonwealth's Attorney on November 8th EXPERIENCE, INTEGRITY, RESPONSIBILITY Last day to Register is Saturday, October 8th Registrar’s Office will be open 9:00 a.m. - 5:00p.m.' i " • in the CourttouseJWashington, Va.

John Walker Jenkins 4J What makes your candidacy different ? “My respect goes high for each of the candidates seeking election as sheriff. However, I am a native of the county and I do know many people who have moved here in recent years.” o.) Nationwide, increased attention has been focused on ways to combat the drunk driver. What would you, as sheriff, do to curb drunk driving in Rappahannock? “My belief on check points at night time is that they are one of the most dangerous situations a police officer can put himself into. You never know who is going to be behind that wheel—maybe an escaped convict with a sawed-off shotgun. I do believe in check points but not at night time when a police officer can’t see what he’s facing. However, I also feel that someone should be on duty all night long in Rappahannock County for the purpose of checking business places and homes that are not occupied daily. Having a policeman on the road all night would probably heln as much with drunken driving as check points would.” 6.) Rappahannock has a declining crime rate, according to statistics released by the Virginia State Police. But the county's clearance rate has declined at the same time. It is now the lowest in the area and one of the lowest in the state. What would you do, as sheriff, to improve the clearance rate, particularly on crimes of breaking and entering ana larceny, f 'Maving someone on duty 24 hours a day I feel is the most important thing. It will help reduce all crime, but particularly breaking and entering, and it will deter lawbreakers more than anything else that can possibly be done.” 7.) If elected, will you move the sheriff's office to the newly renovated and expanded jail! “I certainly feel that the Rappahannock County sheriffs office belongs in the jail where the sheriff and his deputies can communicate more easily, more privately and faster than they can do in the court house.

I have close communications with a lot of people who are involved in controlling this type of problem and they feel the same as I do. I am sure there is a drug problem here. But again, I feel that the seriousness of it has been blown way up.” 9. ) If elected as sheriff, how do you plan to spend your working hours? Specifically, how many hours per iceek do you envision spending on active police icork and how many in the office on paper work and administrative dutiesf “If elected sheriff, I plan to make it a full-time job. In order for it to be a full-time operation, the sheriff must be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a deputy working all night long. However, I do believe that the sheriff should be called to the scene of every major crime. I also feel that the sheriff should take full advantage of advice on serious crime from the commonwealth's attorney.” 10.) Do you think the present number of full and part-time deputies (three full-time, tiro part-time) is adequate? I f not, why ? "The staff is very adequate." 11.) Hoie many correetions and dispath people do you think' will be needed to operate the jail? As proposed. meals for prisoners will be catered by a local restaurant. Do you think this is a satisfactory arrangement? It no, what do yon propose as an alternative? “I’m sure that the state will set up requirements for these positions. And the state will determine the number of jailers and dispatchers required to operate the jail and communications center. I would like to see these positions, as well as all the other positions in tfie sheriff's department, kept at a minimum scale as to cost. I m sure that having meals catered will be a satisfactory arrangement, especially when cost of renovating the kitchen and hiring cooks or matrons for meal shifts is considered." 12.) From which areas at the count 1/ and segments oi the population do you think your strongest sup/tort will come( “1 take no one for granted. 1 hope each and every person in each district feels that I am the proper man for the job and will support me." Martin L. Orfila Continued from Page 1 program in 1981. “With all of this experience, I feel I have the qualifications for organization and leadership and management, all important for any sheriff, any head of a law enforcement department.” .1.) What do you see an the key issue in the campaign? An improved sheriff s department that is further educated and developed to meet the new demands we must shoulder with a new jail, new responsibilities for handling dispatch calls and new programs of education and growth that need to be instituted into the law enforcement program for Rappahannock. I see the key issues as a new structure for the sheriffs department which will serve the needs of the community.” 4.) What make* your candidacy different from that of your opponents? “I feel my candidacy is different in the sense that my experience in law enforcement and deep interest in the growing problems we’re faced with now in Rappahannock County make me better equipped to shoulder the responsibilities and give guidance and direction for law enforcement.” 5. ) Nationwide, ' increased attention has been focused on ways to combat the drunk driver. What would you, as sheriff, do to curb drunk driving in Rappahannock? Would you consider instituting the late night check points that have been used effectively in Maryland and in some Virginia counties and cities, including several nearby localities? “Drunk driving is a serious problem throughout the state and county. 1 want the law enforcement personnel with the sheriffs department to deal with drunk drivers whenever he or she comes in contact with them (as should be the case with any police officer who is on the road in a patrol capacity) due to the seriousness and danger to the community of this violation. If through my evaluation, we find the need for late night check points to deter trouble areas and protect motorists and citizens, we will experiment with late night check points.” 6. ) Rappahannock has a declining crime rate, according to statistics released by the Virginia State Police. But the county's clearance rate has declined at the mine time. It is note the I nicest in the area a>id one of the lowest in the state. What would you do. as sheriff. to improve the clearance rates, particularly on crimes of breaking and entering and larceny, the most frequently committed offenses in Rappahannock!' “We have a problem with clearance rates and we probably always will have that problem to some degree. But with very sound, initial investigation at the crime scene, good collection of evidence, earnest investigation of suspects and follow-up investigation, not just that day but until all logical conclusions and pieces of evi denee have been exhausted, the rate could be improved. “Determined, educated investigation will count as a strong deterrant and will hopefully increase the clearance rate. “1 have in mind programs of education for investigative officers and programs of assistance from the community that I feel, with proper implementation and direction, can act as a strong deterrant to breaking and entering and larceny.” 7.) If elected, will yon more ihe sheriff's office to the newly renovated and expanded jail? “I'd like to consider moving the office to the jail because I belive that, based on the remodeling plans I’ve seen, there will be sufficient room for us to be together with the dispatchers and police personnel within the jail system.” <S.) How serious do you belie re the drug problem is in Rappahannock' Hon• do yon plan to control the use and distribution of illegal drags' “I’ve always felt from past drug arrests made as a deputy sheriff, from information we’ve received from citizens and through my further education in narcotics with the State Police that due to our isolation and close access to the metro area, we have a growing problem in narcotics that needs our serious attenton. “Later on, we can hopefully incorporate the position for a deputy sheriff who has a solid background in narcotics to follow up on investigations and to involve himself in possible drug areas of the community. “If elected, I intend to involve myself and the sheriffs office in these problems and take measures to assist any group or school with Spring starts this fa.

Personally, I feel we can be successful if we are determined to combat drugs." !).) If elected as sheriff, hoie do you plan to spend your working hours;1 Specifically, how many hours pwer week do you envision spending on active police work and how many in the office on paper work and administrative dutiesi "If elected, I intend ,to continue with the hburs of law enforcement that I have maintained as a deputy sheriff and a State Police officer. As a patroman, I worked anywhere from 10 to 15 hours daily. Law enforcement has been my whole way of life and career for over eight years. “The sheriff of Rappahannock County is going to have to be an individual who will be with his men and with the county at almost any time of the day. The sheriff must maintain a good leadership role and set an example, a standard. I hope to spend as much time on the road—day and night—as the deputies but 1 also know that with the new programs and general duties of the sheriff, I will have to maintain a strong administrative background. “I intend to devote as many hours as needed in any area as the sheriffs department requires or the citizens of the county need. Filling those needs are the main objective and goal of the sheriffs department.” 10.) Do you think the present number of full and part-time deputies (three fall and two part-time) is adequate? If not why? What positions would yon addt “The present staff has been strained at times. Just as Sheriff Buntin has tried over the years to add manpower as needed, I will also. And I hope we could have additional manpower as needed. “But 1 understand we are limited and realize that what we must accomplish now is to get as much as pos sible out of what we have. After administrative duties, I will fill the same duties as the deputies. So if I’m elected, we’ll have another road deputy.” 11.) How many corrections and dispatch people do yon think will be needed to operate the jail{ As proposed, meals for prisoners will be catered by a local restaurant. Do you think this is a satisfactory arrangementt It not, what do you propose as an alternative? "As far as dispatchers are concerned. I’ve talked to members of the dispatch center organizational com mittee and I realize that in order to meet a 24 hour obligation, we will need at a minimum three dispatchers to handle three eight-hour shifts. “As far as meals are concerned, I can go along with the proposal for catered meals as long as the arrangement is feasible to the schedule of the sheriffs department, as long as the meals are there when we need them.” 12.) From which areas of the county and seymeats of the population do yon think your strongest support will comei “In travels since I started campaigning in February. I’ve found people in all corners of the county, from all walks of life, who are interested in the same goals and achievements for our law enforcement ability and for their needs, concerns and safety. I feel that these people, our fellow citizens, are interested in the same areas as I am, both as a citizen of Rappahannock and as a candidate for sheriff. “If elected, I will pursue their needs with the service and dedication that I feel in my heart as a police officer." TOP PRIORITY “As your Commonwealth Attorney, my number one priority will be to prosecute criminals and to advise county government on legal matters. I will give my full time and attention to the duties of that office and limit my private law practice to the extent necessary to eliminate any possible conflicts between my public duties and private business.” “I am looking forward to the challenge and opportunity of serving our community and ask for your vote on November 8th.” DAVID KONICK FOR COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY By Authority of David L Konick Rappahannock News I’hoin M Mac PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ - Gabriel Allan tries a chapeau and parapluie in preparation for the October 22 fashion show and sale to benefit the 4-H summer day camp.

S* OFFICE: Rappahannock News Bldg Washington Va 22747 HOURS: 8:30 am to 5 30 p m . Mon Fri Published by Warrenton printing & Publishing Company nc Member AuditcWreau of Circulation / THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 1983 Meeting Needed The resignation last week of John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, makes it imperative that the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors and the county’s Water and Sewer Authority sit down at a table to work out answers to questions on Sperrvville’s proposed sewer project. At a recent special meeting of the supervisors, chairman J.R. Latham was given assurances that Capelle would shoulder the responsibilities of project manager for construction of the sewer system, at least in the initial stages. In an interview last week, Capelle acknowledged that last spring, he commited himself - in formally — to working with the WSA and the supervisors on Sperryville’s sewer svetem. Since then, he successfullv^hepherded the county’s block grant application through the State Department of Housing and Community Development to a $500,000 grant award from Gov. Charles Robb. He assisted With the WSA’s successful application for $1.4 million in EPA funds from the State Water Control Board. He had begun a reorganization of the mountains of paper — contracts, resolutions, minutes of meetings, funding applications, Health Department studies, SWCB reports -- accumulated by the WSA over the past 15 years since efforts started to find money for a Sperryville sewer system. Time permitting, he was ready to oversee the start of the construction phase. As city planner for his home town in Wisconsin, a job he will begin next month, Capelle won’t be able to fulfill his informal commitment to Rappahannock officials to serve as project manager for construction of the sewer system. The Planning Dostrict Commission, now engaged in a search for Capelle’s replacement, may not want the new executive director to make that same offer to Rappahannock. According to Capelle, the impact of his departure on the Commission’s work activities in general is difficult to predict. “It’s fair to assume that the staff size won’t change. At best, the Commission will have four people. And we’ve committed ourselves to a lot of local activity — zoning ordinances for the towns of Washington and The Plains that were set for this fall will have to be put on hold. Localities may choose to find someone else to do the work because of the delays. And we have on-going regional projects: the ride sharing program and Community Development Block Grant applications... It’s really up to the board (of the Planning District) to take a look at the work agenda at their October meeting,” Capelle said. Assuming that the board approves the new director taking on responsibility for overseeing the intial stages of the Sperryville project, he or she may not be the person for the job. Qualifications as director of a planning district aren’t necessarily the same as qualifications for project director of sewer construction for a system funded by state and federal grants. The project manager must be familiar with federal and state regulations pertaining to those grants and have experience with grant management, budgeting and contracting, according to Capelle. There are other questions besides who will serve as project manager that should be resolved before the grants are accepted. Some should be answered in executive session. Members of the WSA who have expressed reservations about staying on the Authority when they will be faced with condeming property for a sewer line easement that may belong to a neighbor should be asked for a commitment. If they indeed intend to resign, the time is now before what Capelle describes as “the hard stuff’ begins. The Water and Sewer Authority and the Board of Supervisors need to come to a mutual understanding on who is doing what, on accountability, on staffing once the sewer system is operational, on who is going to handle the billing for sewer service and who is going to collect if accounts are not paid. Both the $500,000 block grant and the $1.4 million from the State Water Control Board are reimbursable; that is, the money has to be spent before it’s repaid by state and federal authorities. Where is the “front money” going to come from? Once the EPA contract for $1.4 million is issued, the WSA has 21 days to accept the terms and conditions or lose the money. A similar time limit applies to the county’s acceptance of the $500,000 block grant. We don’t want to be making important decisions and looking for answers to hard questions under a gun. The Water and Sewer Authority meets next on October 18, according to Capelle. He plans to be there. So should members of the county’s Board of Supervisors. Now is the time to address those hard questions. Accidents Reported (Continued from Page 1) charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving and defective equipment after his 1972 Ford pick-up ran off the road and landed upside down in a creek. Treated at Culpeper Hospital were George Jenkins and Elwood Byer, both of Madison, following a Monday evening accident near Sperry ville. Newlin says Jenkins was charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving and defective equipment after his 1972 Ford pick-up ran off the road and landed upside down in a creek. The accident occurred approximately l'/j miles south of Sperryville on Route 231 at about 6 p.m. At approximately 11:30 p.m., Newlin responded to a single car accident on Route 522 just north of Scrabble. Nevvlin says Van Kenneth Baselka of Washington was south bound on 522 wheh he tried to make a sharp turn into a driveway and struck the embankment. Approximately $50 damage was done to his car, a 1960 Mercury. No charges were placed against him. Then on Tuesday afternoon, Newlin responded to another three vehicle accident. James Henry Pullen of Washington was charged with driving under the influence and driving with no operator’s license. Pullen was east bound on Route 211 when he allegedly stopped abruptly to make a left turn. Walter Murphy, who was following with his tractor, pulled to the left to avoid hitting the Pullen car and collided with an oncoming car driven by Tristram Campbell of Luray. Newlin says approximately $1,500 damage was done to the tractor, approximately $2,800 to Campbell’s 1977 Buick. Pullen was driving a 1979 Ford station wagon owned by Granville Hudson; there was no damage reported to that car. In another accident at about 2:30 Sunday morning, Kimberly Joan Gibbs of Washington was charged with driving under the influence and reckless driving after a single car accident on Route 522. Newlin says Gibbs was south bound on 522 approximately one mile north of 211 when allegedly she ran off the side of the road and hit an embankment. The car, a 1983 Renault, flipped ovei* and came to a rest on its top. Newlin says Gibbs was slightly injured Our Rappahannock Heritage Where Were The Crowds? To the editor: As lonjr as eating holds a fairly hiyh spot on humanity's priority list it follows quite reasonably that the production of the stuff that helps to keep us yoiny is a pretty important 'occupation, both to carry on and to improve constantly. Vet. to judye by the numbers that did not crowd the (lay Street Theater to the doors last Friday evening for RAAC's second lecture of its series in observance of Rappahannock's lblith anniversary, the topic seems low on the ho-hum totem pole. The panelists, it is true, were supposed to dwell on the past, which they did very interestingly. Mrs. Massie ably balancing the distaff portion of the picture with the records of Messrs. Butler. Manwariny and Johnson. But no hint appeared as to what is beiny done, or should be done, to counter excessive departures from the county agricultural scene of youny men and women - those, in short. on whom future farming (all facets of it) depend. The panel. I imagine, was not asked to examine the present or coming problems, unfortunately. It is a vital subject. Rappahannock is considered an agricultural county, a label in which it should take such pride that the ablest of our high school crop should be champing at the bit (to mix metaphors quite wildly) to get into it. having already had their appetites whetted by dynamic exposure of the challenges and the rewards that exist in that field today. If aching backs and bare bank accounts are viewed as the only possible returns from farming, no more dangerously ignorant expectations exist. On the other side of the coin, for anyone with a competitive spirit, who finds joy in winning against pretty stiff opposition, there is a full hamper of satisfaction. For the opposition is there - in many sneaky forms, many of which slither out of the in dustrial chemists’ labs. Let me cite just two instances mentioned on television within the week: the extremely poisonous EDB contaminating many soils and water supplies, and the crops therefrom: the other, the dying Chesapeake, heir to the malpractice of the unaware farmers whose lands border the streams flowing into the Bay. streams which carry the phosphates and other pollutants washed by rain into those streams from the adjacent properties. So the farmer today should be a bacteriologist, a chemist, a seer, a mechanic and an accountant, as well as an idealist and a practicing lover of nature. In other words quite a guy. and the county needs to do everything possible to produce and to celebrate that critically valuable person. WALDRON O'CONNOR Washington A Jewell Of An Inn To the editor: The Inn at Little Washington (I understand that there was objection to the use of this name also) has been in the news recently— not only locally but nationally. The New York Times had a long article on the Nouvelle Rappahannock Cuisine as practised by Patrick O’Connell in a "jewel of a country inn". The Washingtonian Magazine in extolling the beauty of the town mentions the Inn pointedly. There is not a list of best restaurants that does not mention the excellence of The Inn at Little Washington. Whether the neighbors like it or not. The Inn, fortunately for its wide and devoted clientele, is here to stay. The decor and ambience is most pleasing. The food culled from local growers is outstanding, pleasing to the eye as well as to the taste buds. Reinhardt Lynch as host is most gracious. The service is efficient yet unobtrusive. The profusion of flowers, also grown locally, helps make an evening at The Inn a night to remember. Objections to their enlarging the facilities only shows shortsightedness. Overnight facilities will bring out-of-towners who will increase business in all the shops in town. Ask The Middle Street Gallery if diners at The Inn have not helped to boost their number of visitors. I do not know what the objections are to the building program of The Inn. Their new garden has added an oriental fantasy to this dreamy hamlet. Could it be that the objectors are green-eyed? BERNARDE.NUNEZ Castleton Coverage Appreciated To the editor: Intelligent and supportive action by every citizen in behalf of effective soil and water conservation is a goal of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. To achieve this goal, the Culpeper District supports a continuing public information program.

From Both Barrels Legislative Cleanup By GEORGE BOWLES The smoldering rivalry between the House of Delegates and the Senate has become centered, in recent weeks, in an unlikely forum—a joint subcommittee designed to improve the way the legislature works. When the 198,3 session of the General Assembly agreed to House Joint Resolution 83, a minor miracle in itself, the intent appeared clear. The resolution established a ten-member panel to look into ways ore reforming and streamlining the procedures by which the Assembly enacts laws. Four members of the panel, which is formally called the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Legislative Process, were to be appointed by the house, three by the Senate and three by the governor. A more illustrious group to serve on the panel could hardly have been |>ut together. It is chaired by House Speaker A. L. Philpott of Henry. The other House members are Majority Leader Thomas Moss of Norfolk, Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Bagiev of Hampton and Minority Leader Vincent Callahan ot rairfax. Representing the Senate are Majority Leader Hunter Andrews of Hampton. Health and Education Committee Chairman and former Majority Leader Adelard Brault of Fairfax, and Minority Leader William Truban of Woodstock. The governor's appointees are Melville Carico, the highly respected former senior political writer for the Roanoke Times and World News, who represents the press, Philip F. Abraham representing the governor's office and Reynolds Metals executive John J. Alexander Jr. representing the business communitv. The resolution was the brainchild of (Jordon C. Morse, who was then executive director of Common Cause of Virginia. Morse sold Moss on the idea, and thereafter it quickly picked up support, Kventually both Houses agreed to the resolution, a most unusual outcome for a Common Cause project coming before the Virginia legislature. Since mid-summer, the panel has held four meetings—one of them a public hearing. As of this writing, some interesting—and near revolutionary—ideas have emerged which might speed up, as well as open up. the way the Assembly conducts its business. Also problems of mind-boggling complexity have become apparent. The reform suggestions include the prefiling or much earlier filing of bills, a recess after the measures are introduced to allow a more orderly processing by committees, packaging of ball bills dealing w ith the same subject when they are referred to committee, open and well publicized meetings of committees of conference, as well as open and scheduled meetings of subcommittees. In addition to these, scores of other suggestions have been received, some thoughtful, some absurd. "The scope of what this subcommittee is supposed to do." a member told me last w eek, "is spreading like an oil slick!" If it is. it is spreading over troubled w aters, and it is hardly having a calming effect. The meetings of the panel up to this point have been marked by considerable sparring and sniping between the House and Senate members. Republicans and Democrats in each chamber join forces in a ferociously bi-partisan show of unity when they see the prerogatives and traditions of their respective bodies threatened with change. Further complicating the problem is the fact that the panel is not working with public laws, but with the rules of the two Houses. Thus, no matter what reforms the subcommittee recommends, the Rules Committees of the House and Senate, or the bodies themselves, can accept or reject them. Neither House can impose its will on the other, thus there is little incentive for compromise on the part of the representatives. And so in the meetings thus far, the sparks have been flying between the ranking members of the House and Senate. With only four months remaining before the subcommittee is required to present its report to the 19S4 legislature, no real agenda for action has yet been established. Still it must be said that some progress is being made. The members have identified problems and recognized important areas where improvements should be made in the public interest. At long last the legislative leadership has a formal vehicle for addressing such problems as closed-door conference committee and subcommittee meetings, archaic procedural practices, and the annual danger of jerry-built laws being thrown together in the wee hours of closing night by bone-weary lawmakers. What remains now to hi- seen is whether or not the reigning powers in the House and Senate seize the opportunity they have; whether they play the pails of prima donnas or statesmen. The panel holds its next meeting Oct. 7 in the General Assembly Building in Richmond. It's one of those exercises in government which doesn't get much play in the media, but it's one concerned citizens should keep their eyes on. The subcommittee members have a rare chance to clean up the legislature's act. It would be a loss for all Virginians if they blew it. Honored With Concert The Bluemont Concert Series presents the third annual Tribute to John Ashby, featuring the Free State Ramblers and a host of other Virginia country musicians at 7:00 p.m., Saturday, October 1, in the Fauquier High School Auditorium, Warrenton. Requested admission is $3 and all are welcome. John Ashby (1915-1979) lived near Marshall, Virginia, and made his living as a carpenter and his reputation as a fiddler. With his band, the Free State Ramblers, he played for local country dances and gatherings for over 40 years. When he died in May, 1979, John Ashby was a nationally acclaimed fiddler who in 197S had won the Best Old Time Fiddler Award and the Best All-Around Performer Award at the National Old Time Fiddler’s Convention at Galax, Virginia.. The Free State Ramblers, the host band for the tribute, is the country string band John Ashby founded and played with for over 40 years. The band has continued with some new additions to play dances, concerts, and festivals in this area and are probably more popular now than ever. This past week, the Free State Ramblers won the 8th Best Band Award (out of 168 bands competing) at the National Old Time Fiddler’s Convention at Galax.

Rappakannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Pesticide Suspected in Sperryville “Sting99 Costly Lesson In Beekeeper’s Loss* bperryvule beekeeper John Marocchi spent the summer in a scientific investigation that started on June 30 when he went to check on 10 hives that he keeps in a small outyard off Route 600. (Altogether his apiary includes approximately 30 hives in three locations.) On that ill-fated day, Marocchi discovered piles of killed bees in front of each hive. A slow, steady stream of thousands of sick bees were being pushed from the hives by the healthy members of the colony in an attempt to protect themselves from the unknown killer. Marocchi suspected some strange disease but says he found no telltale symptoms such as an unusual odor.

The two collected approximately half a pint of dying bees one at a time and watched as the healthy bees continued to evict the weaker ones. Then Marocchi says Wellemeyer pointed to one of the bee’s faces and said, “See how her tongue sticks out?” Wellemeyer’s post-mortem indicated that the bees were clearly victims of poisoning. The inspector suggested some detective work in surrounding orchards to try to discover the specific deadly substance. Marocchi says the two found three five-gal Ion containers of a pesticide called Penncap M at a nearby orchard. The orchard manager told Marocchi he had sprayed the week before to combat a scale infestation on the apple trees. Marocchi says the pesticide label clearly stated that Penncap M is highly toxic to bees and shouldn’t be used 10 pc. Country Pine Living Room Ensemble.

Davis St., Culpeper 825-1885 when bees are foraging in the area. He knew that his bees had been working the heavy white clover floor of the orchard during the spraying because they were still present during his July 1 visit. Marocchi says both the orchard owner and manager were “concerned and reasonable”. They soon started notifying the beekeeper before any spraying was done. They also mowed the orchard to remove the contaminated flowers. Marocchi says he welcomed their responses as “indications of good will and readiness to cooperate (toward achieving) mutually beneficial solutions.” Marocchi was also pleased to receive a phone call on July 13 from a sales representative at the Pennwalt Corporation in Gettysburg. The salesman, I John Miller, and his company’s technical supervisor, Van Starner, wanted to visit Rappahannock to “see the damage.” Marocchi says he and Wellemeyer took the two to his beeyard where they collected samples of dying bees and pollen laden comb and took numerous photographs. Marocchi described the Pennwalt representatives as very agreeable, sympathetic and — loyal to' their employer’s product." They pointed out that the pesticide container carried the appropriate warning labels but that they were otherwise unable to control the product’s application. The four agreed that accidents such as the death of Marocchi s bees could be prevented by more education for farmers using potentially hazardous pesticides. An interest in the case was also taken by Robert Morris at the Warrenton office of the Virginia Department of Agriculture, Maroechi says. The two met on August 24 to discuss test results of the bee samples. Maroechi says the bees had died of methyl parathion poisoning. The worker bees had apparently carried dried particles of tin* poison back to the hive "thinking” they were pollen. These grains of "pollen" were then fed to young bees. Maroechi says he refused to extract any honey from the ten hives this summer because bees sometimes store pollen in the upper story of the beehive and he feared risking exposure to methyl parathion. He estimated his losses in the neighborhood of $1,000. but says he hopes his costly lesson will help others become more aware of the necessary rapport between beekeepers and orchardists. Hookeepers depend on orchardists for the flowers tor thoir bees; orchardists Hood tho bees to pollinate the fruit flowers. According to the Vir ginia State Heekoeper Association, pesticide usage in the United States annually destroys ten percent of the nation's beehives and dam ages another ten percent. From l!»70-l!*,so the fed oral government offered the Hoe Indemnity Urogram to partially reimburse beekeepers lor losses due to pesticides, Hut the plan onlv covered _’b percent of the beekeeper’s loss The federal government maintains no reliable stalls tics on bee losses due to pcs tickles, but agriculturists estimates these losses to be in the neighborhood of .ill million dollars per year. The losses are calculated based on a value of $100 per bee hive. s 1 h'ekeepers flunk’ III,, damage will increase as t In amount of sale halutat a\ ail al'lo tor bee kee pe rs , |« ■ creases.

Money spent on books will contribute to a worthwhile project since all profits will be used in the library. “These books would make nice Christmas presents!" librarian Lucia Kilby added. Stop! Bus! Superintendent Robert S. Kstabrook announced today that the week of October 1 -<s is School Bus Safety Week in Virginia. ‘‘Governor Robb has signed a Certificate of Recognition and asked the citizens of the state to exercise constant courtesy and caution when near school buses," said Kstabrook. "In Virginia, we have over St,000 school buses. They transport more than 750.000 students to and from school each school day and travel nearly SI million miles a year." added Kstabrook. Hi* went on to say that the Rappahannock County School Division uses 10 school buses to transport 1.000 students a day. These buses travel over 200,000 miles each year. “During Virginia School Bus Safety Week,” added Kstabrook, “we want to inform our citizens about our pupil transportation program. We are also asking for their cooperation in helping us to maintain or even improve our safety record. Our school bus drivers are doing a great job, but they need the cooperation of other motorists.” One of the most common driver complaints, according to Kstabrook is that motorists frequently violate the school bus stop law. "Motorists are required to stop for school buses which are picking up or discharging pupils. Sometimes the drivers are not fully alert and pass a stopped school bus. This is a very dangerous situation for the children, especially the younger ones who may not be watching traffic as closely as thev should."

Missed By Census? The Rappahannock County Public School System has completed its census of children in the county between the ages of one and 19 and handicapped children between the ages of birth and 21 as is required by state law every three years. Families who may have been missed or were unable to contact an enumerator are being asked to contact Judy Atkins at 987-8773 at Rappahannock County School Board Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Bus Practice The Rappahannock County Schools will be practicing emergency bus evacuations on Friday, September 30, at 3:10 p.m. Buses mav reach stops slightly later than normal on that day. Declining Enrollment? Some school board members were surprised by low child population figures reported at Tuesday’s meeting following the 1983 school census. Stonewall - Hawthorne representative Nelson Lane for one said no one contacted him during the summer or even left a note on his door to indicate that an effort was made. Lane has two young children. ine summary oi returns showed 1,398 school aye Rappahannock residents (ayes one through 19). That’s a drop from the 1980 figure of 1,827. The numbers are used for long range planning in the school district. For instance, the census shows only 24 one-year-olds in the county. If that figure is accurate, kindergarten attendance could be expected to decrease by -/■. in. four years. RC'ES principal Maggie Piper reports 04 pupiles enrolled in kindergarten as of August MO. Only three were held over. The census taken over the summer shows only 45 five-vear-olds, however. The census takers were instructed to visit all county homes to count school age children; and superintendent Robert Estabrook asked anyone not contacted to call his office so the figures could be checked. Actual enrollment is down this year only on the secondary level. There was a total of 1,010 students in both schools as of August 30: 423 at the high school and 537 at the elementary school. Last year there were 459 at the high school and 520 at the elementary school. High school principal Bob Chappell explained last month that the unusually large graduating class in June was not offset by a smaller than normal incoming eighth grade class this year. There were 90 graduating seniors in June. Kstabrook expressed concern over the current 1,010 figure. School officials estimated attendence at 1,025 in applying for the county’s share of state aid. Students Commended For Merit Scores Three juniors at Wakefield School in Huntly are among the 85,000 students honored by the Merit Program for outstanding performance on the 1982 PSATNMQT. These students, Laurel Gray. Kingsley Hellems, and Stephanie Zoebelein, demonstrated exceptional academic promise by scoring in the top five percent of more than one million Merit Program participants who took the qualifying test in over IN, 000 secondary schools. The three students were presented special letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation by Wakefield headmaster William Lynn in a school assembly on Friday. In the five years of Wakefield School’s preparatory program. 12 Wakefield students have been named commended or semi-finalist students in the National Merit Qualifying Test. IN ation At Risk” Ke viewed in August scnool superintendent Hubert Estabrook pledger! a series of meeting on a continuing basis to hear comments from concerned citizens on “A Nation at Risk", the report submitted by the national commission on educational excellence. Estabrook then asked the school board at its August meeting to re-activate the superintendent’s advisory committee. The group will compile local comments and recommendations for review by the school board, probably at its November session. ■ At the September board meeting, Estabrook brought a list of civic leaders that he suggested specifically be invited to form a "Nation at Risk” advisory committee. They are Dawn Fisher and Betty Estes from the superintendent’s advisory committee, Maria Davis from the gifted and talented program, Joel Daczevvitz of Chapter I, Debra Combs from the special education program. Raymond Keys from vocational education. RCES PTA president Will Brown and RCHS Booster Club president Nancy Schoppet. Estabrook said he still expects to have recommendations ready for the board by November 1. He said he planned to gather response from county teachers last week. Estabrook added that while he found fault with some of the report, “we don’t intend to ignore it... "The only reasonable goal is continuous improvement," he said. Basics Estabrook also presented the board with a pol icy recommendation which he called "The Basic Academic Competencies." The president’s commission criticized a high school “cafteria-stvle curriculum in which the appetizers and desserts can easily be mistaken for the main courses." The group urged a return to the basics. At the time, Estabrook called discussion of the “basics” so much educational jargon unless some consensus was formed as to the meaning of “basic." In drafting his "Basic Academic Competencies" recommendation, Estabrook was trying to define that term. According to Estabrook, the “basics" are reading, writing, “speaking and listening", mathematics, reasoning, studying and observing. Estabrook went a step further. He listed specific examples of what he meant by each of his “basics." For instance, among other things, observing includes the “ability to see and to interpret things and events in nature, in the social environment, in the laboratory and in art with reasonable accuracy, and to record such observations in appropriate form." Estabrook called his basics “fundamental building blocks", saying that a “basic learning policy" should govern additions to the curriculum. "We need to consider why a given course should be added." he said. School board chairman Beverly Massie expressed appreciation at Estabrook's progress at forming recommendations for the board's action. *25 POUNDS FOR THE PRICE OF 20* Treat your dog to the new, exciting taste of Come ’N Get it.

Getting Closer But Still In The Loss Column Rappahannock’s Pant iers scored their first goals of the 1983 soccer season this week but still failed to post a game in the win column as they were downed bv George Mason, 9-2, at home Friday and by Randolph Macon, 4-1, at Front Royal on Monday. On a sunny, breezy afternoon just made for outdoor sports, the RCHS boys faced district rivals George Mason. Coach Glenn Davis tried a new strategy after last week’s 13-0 loss to Eastern Mennonite by switching one of his halfbacks to the fullback position, bringing the number there to four. The well organized Mustangs kept most of the action in front of Rappahannock’s goal. New goal keeper James Dennis, who replaced Lee FUMES LIVESTOCK EKCHESBE INCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

But the Rapp’s offense kept clogging up the middle with passes to the center of the field. Thrusts at the Mustangs’ goal were repeatedly thwarted. The visitors from Falls Church weren’t doing much better at the opposite end of the field, however. Repeatedly, Dennis threw his body on top of the ball to smother a potential goal, frustrating George Mason drives. But the Mustangs weren’t to be denied forever. Dennis went to the left of the goalie box, following a pass from a GM halfback. A second Mustang came bursting through Rappahannock’s fullbacks to receive the pass and boot it squarely into the net from 15 yards out. Once the barrage started, it didn’t stop, at least not in the first half. The Panthers were a different team in the second 20 minutes of play. The forward line of Vinnie Caporuscio, Mike DelGrosso and Doug McCabe looked before they passed. Hallbacks Jon McCullough and Will Oliver aggressively pursued the ball on defense, breaking up plays with steals and passing off to teammates for a scoring attempt. Still George Mason got the initial score of the second period after a shot bounced off the top of the goal right to a Mustang who sent it flying back to the net to build the advantage to 70.

Rappahannock was getting closer to the first score of the season. DelGrosso dribbled to midfield, passed to Oliver in front of the goal only to have a Mustang dart in for the interception. Closer. Caporuscio booted the ball into the air right in front of the goal on a corner kick and Oliver headed it in to break the ice for the Panthers, 7-1. The Mustangs came back with two quick scores while the RCHS boys were still in a daze over their goal. Then Jon McCullough dribbled the ball downfield through the Mustang herd, passed to Oliver who crossed the ball to DelGrosso. He slipped it into the net for a second RCHS tally to make the final a little more respectable at 9-2. Apology From Ref The halftime score at Monday's soccer match with Randolph Macon Academy should have been 1-1. Instead it was 1-0, Randolph Macon. Vinnie Caporuscio was awarded a penalty shot after an RMA violation. The one referee working the game was near midfield when he signaled for play to resume. Too far to see whether the ball went into the goal or not (and from an off the field angle, it appeared that it had), the referee signaled no score. Disappointed and grumbling, the Panthers still battled aggressively, holding the home team scoreless until just a few seconds remained in the first half. Then on fast break soccer, the Yellow Jackets raced for the RCHS goal, booting the ball into the net before Rappahannock's defense even realized they’d been beaten. At the half, the referee apologized to Caporuscio for being too far away to judge the goal on the penalty kick. But he didn’t add a tally to the RCHS side of the scoreboard. In the second half, new goalie James Dennis made several body-sacrificing saves before being pulled way out of the box and leaving the goal undefended as a duo of Yellow Jackets breezed by him and two full backs to score. A second RMA scoring thrust again found Dennis out yards in front of the net. He leaped for the stop but the ball bounced off his fingers and into the goal to make it 3-0. Tagged with a violation, RMA set Caporuscio up for a penalty kick that was right on the mark, narrowing the margin to 3-1. Jimmy Freeman made the defensive play of the afternoon on the home team’s next scoring drive. Dennis came out of the box to challenge a Yellow Jacket dribbling for the goal. He kicked, missed and the Jacket passed off to a teammate even closer to the net. Freeman dashed into the undefended goal to send the ball sailing back out almost to midfield. Jim “Buckwheat” Racer also earned defensive plaudits as he repeatedly stole the ball and intercepted passes to disrupt RMA’s offensive attack. The Yellow Jackets briefly controlled the ball to r bring it down in front of the j RCHS goal—and they sent j it right into the net to make the final 4-1.

Woodberry Forest has a beautiful 3.1 mile course. I couldn’t be happier that our boys did so well on it — the regionals will be held at Woodberry this year!” Led by senior Scott Keithley who finished eighth in 17:11 (37 seconds behind the winning time), all of the RCHS runners ended in the top half of the field. Ronnie Atkins posted a time of 17:44 for 24th, Chris Caperton 18:07 for 31st, Craig Kenyon 18:33 for 39th, Elwood Dod son 18:36 for 41st and David Dodson 18:40 for 44th. Rappahannock’s Ricky Shaw marked the dividing line between the top and bottom half, finished 50th out of 100 runners in 18:56. Final team standings were Charlottesville first with 86, Courtland second with 93, Albemarle third with 101, North Staffordfourth with 133 and Rappahannock fifth with 143. “Rapp outran Culpeper and Fauquier. The boys were extremely happy to beat those two local schools,” Spieker noted. Fauquier was eighth with 192 and Culpeper ninth with 196. Rapphannock’s younger runners, competing as a junior varsity squad, finished eighth. “Many of the junior varsity runners from the other schools were juniors and seniors. It was more of a 'B' meet than a junior varsity contest. They just called it a JV race because they wanted to let the eighth graders run,” Spieker explained. "Jon (Dodson) and David (Fishbein) had a good race. They paced and challenged each other over the ,‘t. 1 mile course,” the coach said. Both boys finished in 20:25, according to the Apple computer's scoring printout, Fishbein in 20th and Dodson in 27th. Other runners who raced with the .IN' cont ingent and their times were l’at t'ot'fev (21:14), Jonathan Watson (21:11:1), Todd Williams (21:58), Mare Streagle (2:1:210 and Neil Ilnrke (25::15). Karen laidwiek and Maria Koemer ran m the girls’ division and did very well, according to the eoaeh. "Karen placed in the upper third of the girls’ field. 1 don't have the times vet. The computer broke down so they're mailing us the re suits.” Rappahannock's next crosscountry competition at home is on October IP against Straslmrg and Stonewall, the final meet of the regular season.

Relief Programs Of The Depression Brought Opportunity To People Who Had Always Been Poor Camps Brought Relief To Rappahannock’s Young Men Once or twice a year some old gentleman will drive into Country Manor’s parking lot, find one of the proprietors and ask politely to walk around the grounds behind the shop. He may study the landscape up near the highway, search the creek bed for an old wooden dam, look for traces of old cement foundations in the field. These men are searching for remains of Civilian Conservation Corps Camp #27, a camp of mostly Virginia men who lived there for several years during the depression and went out each day to improve the fire trails, do landscaping and clearing around the park, cut out the hiking trails and generally "built" those parts of the park where nature needed to be subdued or altered. The camp at Beech Spring was one of SO CCC camps in Virginia. More than three quarters of the corpsmen were Virginians: it made sense that some of the corpsmen would be from urban areas where similiar "make work" programs were inundated. Twelve of the camps were for black Virginians. The old gentlemen who visit the grounds around the Rappahannock gift shop near the entrance to the park are visiting a site where they weathered-along with one hundred or so others like them some of the tightest years they would ever know. For the most part, they were single men, whose efforts to find work outside their parents' small farms were unsuccessful. Families at home were depending on them and the government made sure that the corpsmen’s weekly trips into Luray or Stanley didn't deprive the folks back home of a share of the public works money. •Jimmy Swindler, as well as Fields Benton, who was at the camp for a while, said that of the $20 they received each month, $25 were sent back home. The typical term of service was six months. Swindler remembers that no-one could leave before that time unless he had proof of employment. A Long Walk W. H. Dodson was one of these. Hoping to get married, he had to produce a statement from his prospective employer - a farmer - before he could he released. Young Dodson was eager to leave on the weekends before his marriage. Stationed farther up the mountain from the Beech Spring location. Dodson walked out each weekend to his place at Five Forks. Life At Camp #27 Benton remembers that most of the men could get aw ay on the weekends if they had some sort of transportation. A skeleton crew remained to fight fires if necessary, he said. In other respects, the camps resembled the Army that helped administer them. There were permanent and semi-permanent structures such as a mess tent and some of the equipment sheds. With both wood and labor cheap, it was not much of an undertaking to erect a simple frame and block structure. Mixed in with these more permanent buildings were the traditional long Army barracks tents for sleeping. The men ate breakfast and dinner at the camp and canned a lunch into the woods. The men at Beech Spring always returned at night, although men at some other camps had work crews that might camp out for a couple-of days. In the winter, cooks packed lug thermos containers so that the men might have a hot meal at lunch time. “The food was pretty good," said Benton. “Of course it was, you know . Army food." Benton, as well as Maury Brown and Jim Smith, were among the local men who supervised the corpsmen. Some other directors of the local camps, especially in logistics, w ere military men trained in feeding, housing and moving bodies. Benefit To All The camps benefited the local economy in ways besides employing the out-of-work young men. Mrs. (>. I!. Swindler. .Jim Swindler’s grandmother, had shipped a year's crop of apples in barrels to be transported by water to European cities. From a foreman at the dock she learned the news. Everything had stopped, the apples were rotting in the barrels on the piers, there was no reason even to ship them. The depression had put an end to ordinary commerce. At the camp Mrs. Swindler found a local market for produce, milk and eggs. Local corpsmen don’t recall eating a lot of apples, hut it would be safe to assume that they were a staple throughout the Blue Ridge at the mess tables of the CCC. Mess sergeants and supply officers were dispensers of cash, however modest, for the local merchants who found that fewer and lower customers were able to pay with money and the local exchange, always heavily dependent on barter, became even more so. “Real” money from the CCC was most welcome. Rural Relief There were many reasons why rural Virginians were among the most active participants in the CCC programs in the entire nation. The wages paid were more appealing to people in counties like Rappahannock, Bath, Alleghany and Hallifax than to blue and w hite collar workers in the northern cities. Nor were Rappahannock workers either newly poor or reluctant to work. Little affected by the stock market crash, local corpsmen were often from families that had endured poverty and hard times all through the ’twenties while the rest of the nation was booming. Rappahannock people had struggled through the chestnut blight, the almost complete loss of several apple crops from frost, and the gradual stripping of the mountains whose woods provided the major income for many families. The brutal drought of 1930 and the national depression were two more blows to an already battered rural population. This was the case in Rappahannock, throughout the central piedmont and the mountainous counties near the Kentucky and West Virginia borders. It wasn’t that the depression had hit them so hard: rather many had been poor for so long that any relief measure was a giant opportunity. They were fed and clothed, they received medical care, they were trained in a skill and their families received a sum each month modest by urban standards but enormous in many cases to the thrifty mountain people. Another New Deal program, the resettlement administration, left lasting scars among innocent people but further stimulated the economy with its bureaucracy and building programs. The men at Beech Spring didn’t work on the Skyline Drive, Dodson remembers. Their efforts built a road across the Hazel, roads and trails, in the Mack Hollow, -Jenkins Hollow and Piney Hill. I’p at Big Meadows there was a larger camp, Number 21. with corpsmen from Virginia cities and sometimes, from other states. In all, there were five camps in the park. When their work was completed, a $5 million state park system had been constructed, with a cost to the state of onlv $100,000. Lift* at the camps wasn t all grueling work. Most of the eorpsmen were glad for the chance and eager to work. There was time for recreation. The wooden dam sought by the visitors to the old Beech springs site was part of a swimming pool used by the men there. There were the weekend trips, by the truckload, to Stanley and Lurav in search of entertainment a little livelier than that offered in downtown Sperryville. Until a severe storm tore it down, the huge beech tree near the road bore hundreds and hundreds of initials carved by the men who passed through the camp. In fact, there is a story that when the highway department widened the road they spared the tree, curving around it to preserve a monument both natural (the beech of Beech Spring) and historical. The conservation camps were the most popular of the New Deal programs in Rappahannock. People were working for what they got. True, the county struggled to provide its share of the funds, but most people could see the economic benefits that would come with the Park and the Skyline Drive. There were some who complained bitterly about the “meke work” programs. Newspapers in Virginia accused the Corpsmen of shoveling loads of gravel to one side of the road in the morning and back to the other side after lunch. A thorough investigation of Virginia's programs found the predominantly rural camps to be amazingly efficient, well-run and free of bribery and graft. Of course, there were stories and (Continued on Page 9) Banks Slow To Foreclose "I came here in 1930. The stock market broke in 1929. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back," said Giles Miller, who worked with Culpeper's Central Fidelity Bank for a half century. "Stocks really went down. I remejnber Bethlehem Steel selling for $123 a share before the crash. It went to $7. But compared to other places in the country, Rappahannock people weren’t as effected. They didn’t have as many stocks as others. The wealthy had most of their money invested in land and cattle." A few days after President Roosevelt took office in 1933, he ordered all the banks across the country closed. “Those that were in good shape—like two banks in Culpeper and Rappahannock National—I think they were only closed for four days but plenty of others around the country kept their doors shut for 30 days or more until they were declared safe.” On the heels on the depression in Rappahannock County came the drought. "For Rappahannock, I think the drought did more damage than anything else. Orchards, corn and hay crops were devastated. Cattle suffered. Farmers had to sell whole herds because of lack of feed to carry them through the winter. Cattle prices were down and feed prices were up,” Miller recalled. "People didn’t have any money. Real estate values went down, down, down. People didn’t have any money because of the depression. And they had to sell their land because of the economic conditions—the depression—and the drought. And no one had any money to buy. Miller recalled that he was executor of an estate that included a 200 acre dairy farm with main house, barns and outbuilding and two tenant houses. “We had to sell it in 1934 to settle the estate. We advertised the sale in the Rappahannock, Orange, Madison and Culpeper papers. It was a beautiful day. A handful of people came for the sale—and we had one bid for $7,500.” The judge was asked not to confirm the sale and the property was readvertised, this time in the Washington, D.C. and Richmond papers. "It was another beautiful day. We had double the number of people—and still one bid. From the same man. He raised his offer to $10,000. In the early 1900s, that same 205 acre farm sold for over $350,000.” That was an estate sale. There were foreclosure sales that brought the same low prices but those sales were few in this area, according to Miller. “Ranks here weren’t quick to foreclose. They did everything they could to keep from it." The whole lending structure was different in the days of the depression, according to Miller. "Banks didn’t have installment lending for cars and such then. You borrowed money for 30, 60 or 90 days and asked for an extension at the end of that time if you couldn’t pay. Banks didn't have more than a dozen installment loans. Land was bought on one, three or five year notes with interest payments quarterly, semi-annually or annually. You had a whole year before you were late with annual interest payments. There wasn’t the drastic foreclosure rate we’d have today if people get three months behind in payments." Miller concluded. “...But compared to other places in the country, Rappahannock ,people weren’t as affected. The wealthy had most of their money invested in land and cattle 4 »d Photos Courtesy Va State Library The Civilian Conservation Crops was the most popular New Deal program in Rappahannock, Camps like the one at Beech Spring employed young single men who were out of work. Daily life was patterned after military routines where the corpsmen took turns at kitchen duty, supervised by experienced Army and Navy men (top two photos), and local people with supervisory skills. The camps were composed of semipermanent and permanent structures (bottom 3 pictures) with an emphasis on orderliness, good health and nutrition and hard work. Together, the five camps in the Park built roads, improved fire trails, controlled erosion and fought forest fires. Throughout the state, the 80 CCC camps gave the people of Virginia a $5 million state park system at a cost of only $100,000 to the state. M Emma and Annabelle Swindler “People Around Here Didn’t Know Anything About Biscuits” Emma: “The Depression, now when was that? I don’t think that it affected folks around here much. Everyone always raised enough to keep themselves. If you were a farmer’s wife, you learned to sew and that was that. Everyone raised their own corn. People around here didn’t know anything about biscuits. It was always cornoreaci, cornoreaci, eornDread. Daddy even grew his own sugar cane and a man came around with a horse to press it. Then they’d make molasses in a barrel. They never let us near it. They raised chickens and eggs and sold them and traded them — that’s how they got cash. That and dried apples.” Annabelle: “Oh, yes, everyone used to dry apples. And crack walnuts. They (walnuts) were always too rich for me.” Emma: “It was my brother in-law, George Rowe, who had the first apple stand up on the road to the park. He sold hot dogs, too. He was really the first, and my brother, Bob Estes, was second.” * * * In the living room of Emma's home is a piano given her by her neighbor, Mrs. Katherine Trescott, who used to play piano for silent movies long ago. Songs from the carefree twenties: Ain’t She Sweet, Baby Face, I Wonder What’s Become of Sally, Tea h or Two, are still there, vying for space with music from a much different era, the worried thirties: Brother Can You Spare a Dime, We’re In The Money, I Gotta Right to Sing The Blues, In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town; and finally, in 19118: Happy Days Are Here Again. Emma said that her brother Abby, now dead, really “cut a shine” singing songs like these l 1 Traffic to the park brought new opportunities for apple marketing and one of the first men to operate a fruit stand locally was George Rowe, who has been identifed as the man in this photo taken by a WPA photographer. Rowe went back in the Hazel, bought baskets for his fruit and sold basket and all to passersby. Despite his creative spelling Rowe's success inspired others to dot the road past Sperryville with fruit, craft and souvenir stands.

“I’d go up to the mill there at Nethers for my father. He’d tie corn behind me on the horse and say to unload the corn and wait for the meal. I was real young then. And I liked going to the mill, but across the street in those years there was a store, gone now, and there’d always be men sitting there. Well, I’d heard so much of the moonshine business and the shooting back in the hollows behind Nethers that they scared me to death. I only went in the store once or twice for all the times I went to the mill. Of course, looking back, they were just ordinary men, sitting on the porch. ’’—Billy Kilby Poor Farm: Home To The Pauper Bi//y Kilby: “ People in the County Were Fairly Well—Contented ” “Of course. I was bom on a farm and most farm families did not have it as rough as others. We had produce, gardens, a place to live. “1 do remember my father selling cattle for SVj cents a pound in those days. That was the price for full grown cattle. “I remember very vividly beggars coming to our house to ask for something to eat. Our home was near the road. My mother almost always gave them something. They were people drifting around the country and my mother always felt it was better to give them something to eat rather than to turn them down. And I know she felt sorry for them. “So many people were out of work in the city. I think that country people actually heard more about the depression from their relatives in the city than from each other. "The people who lived near here would go up on the mountains and pull green oak splits. Then you'd see them on the road with a great long pole, 15 to 20 feet long with a stack of baskets on it. "The price of apples went down then, to fifteen cents a bushel. After the evaporator plant at Sperryville was built, we could sell apples there for 25 cents for 1(H) pounds. There they were peeled, sliced, sulphured, packaged in doth sacks and sent up north somewhere. “For recreation we had horse shoes and marbles not the little kind that chil dren play with now. but the great big, marble kind. This was especially popular up at Ktlan and Peola Mills. Sometimes the games of marbles would start Saturday morning and continue all weekend, even under lights at night. “There were tourist buses to Nethers. A lady up there served Sunday dinners to bus loads from Washington. "People in the country were fairly well-contented and happy. There was a slow pace then and nobody got in a big hurry because there was nowhere to go. Everyone enjoyed themselves. “Of course, folks had to be very enterprising. We had a small orchard and I would peel apples, slice them and dry them on the chicken house roof. I’d get 5 cents a pound, and I’d drive twenty miles to sell twenty pounds." Kilby farms in the F. T. Valley near the Madison <’ninth/ hue. Charlie Lewis “You Can Do With A Whole Lot Less Than You Think You Can.” Peo^e here were much bettor off than in the cities. They had cows to milk and they had gardens. They had so much meat and so much flour and meal Poor peoPle then knew how to manage what they got hold of. When folks got married they started out with what they had—second-hand furniture people had given them things from their mother anti father. They knew better than to try to keep up with the Joneses. • 1 “A depression today would be much worse than it was then. Poor people now try to keep up with rich folks. They charge on credit more than they can afford. You can do with a whole lot less than you think you can/’ People limped through the Depression without the government assistance programs that today ease the Ijfe of the poor. There was no Aid to Dependant Children, no food stamps, no general relief, no Medicaid and Medicare no Supplemental Security Income. . . In Rappahannock, they had only the county poor farm. “It was for them that had nothin’ — no where to stay, nobody to look after them—white and colored,” said Charlie Lewis, who was a boy went with his pastor to the poor farm in the F T. Valley to conduct services Sunday evenings. “Them that was able did things to help. Them that couldn’t was taken care of. But thev didn’t fare too well I do know that.” Folks didn t just show up on the doorstep of the Poor Farm looking for shelter. They had to be certified as paupers by the county’s supervisor of the poor. “They always came without anything—not a thing. No clothes except what they had on their backs, no food, no belongings,” said Mrs. Hugh Woodward whose husband was overseer there from 1933 until 1941. It was a hard life, both for the care givers and their charges. “We usually had 12 to 15 there on the average,” Mr. Woodward recalled. “Mostly they were the elderly and disabled or handicapped.” “And we’d get unmarried women who were in, you know, trouble. Their families had thrown them out and they had no place to go and nothing to call their own, not even a single piece of baby clothes. We’d have to get the midwife and I’d help when their time came. They didn’t usually stay long after the baby was born. It would be put up for adoption or taken in by the family and the girl would leave,” Mrs. Woodward said. “They were sad stories. Once five little children showed up. They were just like stairsteps, the oldest about nine or ten years old. Their parents just walked off and left them. If those children had cried', I’d have boo-hooed too. Their kinfolk came and took them away after a few days. They’d come and go at the poor farm. ” Ine iarm had tour cabins, the overseers house, barns and outbuildings. The cabins were all doubles with an upstairs and two rooms below. The paupers shared the quarters. “There weren’t many families. Sometimes we’d have a mother alone with her children but most of the time, the people were elderly. I don’t remember a complete family—with mother and father—coming the eight years we were there,” said Mrs. Woodward. The cabins lacked bathroom and kitchen facilities. Mrs. Woodward did all the cooking in her kitchen and then the poor farm’s residents took their plates back to the cabins. “They ate just like we ate. I fixed the same thing for everybody.” Much of the food was raised on the farm’s 300 acres. There was a huge vegetable garden worked by Mrs. Woodward and people from the poor farm who were physically able to help her. The beans, tomatoes, squash, peas and other vegetables were canned along with fruit from the orchard. Potatoes and onions were stored in the root cellar. Every year, Mr. Woodward and the “year man” who helped him on the place butchered the 14 or so hogs they’d raise. They tended the cattle, sheep and horses on the 300 acres and grew hay and corn. Mrs. Woodward milked the eight cows that provided the farm with dairy products, then skimmed and churned the milk. ‘We didn’t have refrigeration. We had a spring and a spring box,” she recalled. The Woodwards had a flock of laying hens that kept the farm in eggs. “When we sold the extras at the store, the county got half and we got half,” he remembered. Old chickens were killed and plucked and tossed in the pot. “We never had store-bought chicken. It was unheard of,” Mrs. Woodward added. The washing for the poor farm and its people was done on a board by the overseer’s wife and anyone fit enough to help her. White clothes were boiled. She baked all the bread with flour from Fletcher’s Mill and made soap every fall from meat scraps and lye, enough to carry them through the season. “Some of the people were capable of starting a fire in their cabin in the mornings. Some you had to do it for them,” Mrs. Woodward continued. The Woodwards nursed the poor when they were sick “Dr. Snead would do the doctorin’. Dr. Smith before him,” Mr. Woodward added. it someone had just had an operation—many of them had before they came to the poor farm—then the county nurse—she was Mrs. Fulton then—would tell us how to care for them,” said Mrs. Woodward. “We were the undertakers and everything there,” she continued. “When one of the old people died, we laid them out and buried them right on the farm.” There were two big days at the county poor farm. Christmas when Mrs. Woodward baked an old fashioned dinner of oysters, ham, sweet potatoes, cakes pies and all the trimmings, when each farm resident received a little bag of gifts a pair of gloves, an orange, candy, some raisins. And July 1 when the county supervisors met at the poor farm. “We had to prepare a feast for everyone'who wanted to come, not just the supervisors," Mrs. Woodward recalled We’d butcher a sheep. That’s the only time you’d see that!” Then the supervisors would tour the farm, check the cabins okav everything and lay down some orders,” Mr. Woodward added. ’ Over and over again, the Woodwards described their charges at the countv poor farm as paupers, the poorest of the poor in times when most were needy “Most of them just didn’t have no people,” the overseer emphasized The couple remembered two in particular, both ex-slaves. Ella Hawkins. She came to the poor farm after she was freed. She made the place her home. She helped out with the cooking and the cleaning and the gardening, took her meals in the kitchen rather than carrying her plate back to the cabin. She was an old lady when she died there. No one knew how old she was ” Mrs Woodward related. And there was Sam Taylor. He was 105 years old. He’d been a slave at the r letchers and lived right across from the Flatwood. He was only at the poor farm for about two weeks. He kept complaining about his feet itching. When I’d visit his cabin, he’d have his socks on. I had him take them off and looked at his feet I knew right away something was wrong so I called Dr. Snead. He said they weren t just frost bit but frozen. I)r. Snead sent him to Charlottesville. The word went around the hospital that he was 105 years old and you never seen so many students and doctors in your life that came to see him!’’ Taylors legs were aml,utated and he died in that hospital, according to Mr. Woodward. Looking back on their eight years overseeing the poor farm, the Woodwards declare they never worked so hard in their life. “I don’t see how I did it,” said Mrs. Woodward. “I was up at 4 or 5 every morning, had dinner ready before dark so they could see to get back to their cabins and didn’t finish cleaning up until 8 or Neither could remember what Mr. Woodward was paid by the county. He recalled that he got around $100 a month as an operating budget. “And we charged food and clothes for the people. The supervisors paid those bills directly. “Its been so long ago. We’ve been married 50 years. A lot has happened since those days,” Mrs. Woodward said. She thought her husband’s salary might have been as much as $100 a month, a grand sum during the depression when men worked for 50 cents a day and counted themselves fortunate. “At that time, I might have liked the job. I wouldn’t want it now.” “But we were doing good,” added Mrs. Woodward. “We had a roof over our heads and food on the table.” Stant Weaver “People Would Just Do Anything For A Day’s Work “Some folks would work all day for a dollar. Now, that was good pay—about what everyone worked for. I went to the city for work but 1 was lucky. “People did all kinds of things. They went to find dead chestnut trees up in the mountains and take them to the extractor in Luray. A truck would take about two cords, and the price was $7 a cord. That was good money, even if half of what you made was the cost of the trip. “People would just do anything for a day’s work—for a dollar. They cracked walnuts for 50 cents a pound. That was hard work. They’d gather the walnuts, dry them and crack them. Anything you can think of, people would do just for a little cash. “Lots of people around here sold dried apples. Now everyone knows what a dried apple is but 1 was telling some people about snits and they wouldn’t believe me. A snit is a dried apple with the peel on. Most people around here, when they fried apples, they thought it was better to leave some of the peel on for taste and I think, for nutrition. “So the way they did it, they'd peel one part and leave one part with the peel on. So the apple would be striped, one peel width off, one peel width on. That was the way folks fixed apples to fry. “So some folks who dried apples would sell some dried with the peels off and some with the peels on. If the peels were off, that was a dried apple. If the peels were on, that was a snit. “That’s the way I called it and that's the way it was always called. “In 1930, the drought was so bad, worse even than this summer, although its getting pretty near like it - that a lot of the smaller creeks and streams went dry. Everyone had to have a spring house. “Usually people were able to have a springhouse right near their home. That’s where you’d build a home—near water. Hut that year people kept having to move their spring houses farther and farther away to find water. We had to go way up the hollow to find a spring that was still wet. We built the house and some shelves to set the milk and butter on. If it were to rain, we d have to set things farther up or they’d get wet. Usually the water ran through the house from an entrance and into a lower exit. When it finally rained, both f I race and I were away, and weren’t able to put things up. When I came home 1 checked it right away, and there was the milk on the higher shelves. I wondered who had put our milk up. Hut that was the sort of thing a neighbor would do if he knew you were awav and it started to rain. I asked around, and nobody had done it. Later I found the milk had muddy water in it. The spring had backed up so much that the water had lifted the bottles right up to the shelves and left them there. They were set up just as nice as if someone had done it. This is a true story. "After the depression, there were a lot of new programs and a lot of new taxes. I don t recall any suicides here because of the banks failing in the cities, but a V’ '"t\Turnfr’ out on ^ °dderstack, went out on his porch, put his coat on and slit his throat because he heard the Internal Revenue Service was after him. lhis is what I heard. Stunt Wearer is u retired funner. Camps (Continued from PatreK) jokes and political cartoons like the one Hilly Kilbv remembers: two CCC workers were talking; to' each other, leaning on their shovels. They started to scrap and the first one said, “If only I had another shovel I’d come after you.” Pete Kstes heard a joke told on a city corpsmen who came across a rattlesnake earlv in the morning when it was cold and slow. “He kept’ poking at it and slashing at it, jabbing it with his knife. The country boys who were with him kept saying, come back to the truck, come back to the truck. Finally one said,don’t worry when it warms up some he’ll come back to the truck.” I here were other New I)eal programs that, af fected Rappahannock. The home demonstration agents were geared at that time toward employing local people who needed work to assist those who needed help. In Rappahannock, Mrs. Matilda Garner organized a contest of young girls, all of whom sewed dresses for under GO cents that were then exhibited in a program. There were sewing rooms in the county, one in Washington where the Washington House of Reproductions is now; and one in Sperryville. No one interviewed remembers whether women were paid for this work or did it voluntarily to help the poor who needed clothes. Kilby remembers WI'A workers putting in a sand path to the outhouses at Relle Meade School. A survey of historic homes and other places in the county was conducted by Margaret Atkins and Helen Gore under the auspices of the WI'A, and many fine photographs of Blue Ridge homes and families were taken. Elsewhere in the state, women were employed in slum clearance work and the creation of bird and wild-flower sanctuaries. There was even a brigade of women in Portsmouth and Norfolk chasing rats with dogs, brooms and sticks. Late in the thirtiew there were signs of recovery gradually appearing in Rappahannock County. Down the road from the Beech Spring* camp Mrs. Swindler opened the Meadowbrook lunchroom and chicken and ham dinners for 10 cents. Charlie Estes was dispensing hospitality at the Cab Inn, which also served homecooked meals. The Swiss Chalet served meals to tourists on their way to the new Virginia park. Popeye Miller brought in two old streetcars to make a diner on the grounds of what later became the Skyway. Estes said that the opening of the park combined with the World War I veterans receiving their bonus checks really broke the hard times locally. “One day folks just looked out and saw cars bumber to bumper going to the drive,” he said. Fruit stands started springing up on the way to the park, combining the new tourism with the traditional agricultural products of the county. Farmers had built the cold storage plant and the “evaporator” in Sperryville and had learned a lot about combating low prices by working together. The country was gearing up for the second world war and these preparations soon lowered the unemployment rate to the point where conservation camps were no longer possible in Virginia or anywhere else. Rappahannock County enjoyed a few very prosperous years before the war that was to change the face of rural America forever.

Chester Gap Area News By SUSAN RUTZ Rappahannock News Correspondent 937-5349 I was just coming off the midnight shift of my job when I decided to drive over and see this community I was writing about. Writing the Chester Gap news had so far entailed a few phone calls. I wanted to know more. I wanted to get a feeling for Chester Gap and the people who lived there. The dawn had just begun to arrive when I turned on the road marked Chester Gap. As the unspecting inhabitants slept I toured the little community built right on the side of a mountain. I have no idea what mountain it is but it must be famous because it merits a Civil War historical marker. The first two houses I spotted were carefully landscaped with bright red flowers, Lots of bright red flowers and huge white pots of flowers on the porches and lining the drives. There was a lovely little doll house around the curve, no bigger than a bread box. made of stone and lots of windows. No child could squeeze inside but had I been a child, I would have tried to fit myself on othe other side of those sparkling clean windows. The birds awakened, welcoming the morning with song and squirrels ran up and down tree trunks. The road I was on was no bigger than one car and on the driver’s side I could look straight down the mountain. Around and up the narrow road I went passed the general store. Ah, the general store, how pefect it is with a front porch for sitting and right there in the middle of everything so that on a hot summer night neighbors can walk down for a Coke or an ice cream. I could imagine everyone gathering in that store, passing bits of information and news, and I wished it wasn’t so early so that 1 might go in and bend and ear or better yet, have mine bent. Further on, I saw the church and the volunteer firehouse. The real coursity was across the street, there sat the remains of many happy summer days. The fire departments amusement park, site of the annual carnival with Ferris wheel and rides that whirl around and around. It was magical and I was a little sad that the carnival was closed for another year. I could taste the popcorn and candied apples and hear the bingo numbers being called loudly from the low white washed building. A marvelous place, Chester Gap. On a quiet fall morning while I toured their town, 1 knew I would have to find out more about the people who live on the mountain. rvwvvvvvvvv v vvv JEWELQY QEPA1B 90% Of All Work Done On Premises 'better 6emce 'l ower Prices 'Ciicsloiii Casting Goldsmith’s Jewelry Exchange 218 E.

News From Castleton By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New, Correspondent 937-4031 Speaking of dry wells, Doris Donald says the one at the Amissville Baptist Church went dry last week just when she was helping the Ruritan Club serve 38 people at the Senior Citizens’ Night dinner. She had four helpers at dishwashing time, but it went slow', carrying the water and washing from two pans the old-fashioned way. Doris says she had got used to the beautiful dishwasher that takes 30 gallons of water per cycle. Funny howT luxuries have a way of becoming necessities—and necessities have a way of being taken for granted until they disappear the way water seems to have last summer. The men came to drill at the church Wednesday and Thursday but they found only one inch of w ater after they went 200 feet. Then the bit broke. And Doris was afraid it would still be dry on Sunday. Weekend before last Frank and Doris went to see their daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen McCauley in Colesville, Maryland. They’re still getting settled in their new house and Doris says everything is going well for them. Aunt Michele is still at Amissville. Seen lots of nice places, but not ready to move. None of them quite quiet enough. She had Sunday dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Mitch Hitt, Tracy and Kerrie. Everything was super, but the biscuits and tomato preserves were a special treat. Sunday guests at the J. T. Woodward residence included Judy Dubois from Washington, D. C. who also has a weekend place in Castleton and her friend Sally from London. Melzie says Irma Hensley and her sister Mary Polk from Arkansas came to visit Wednesdav. Monday night , dinner guests at John and Helen McKay’s house were Mr. and Mrs. John Billings of Alexandria. And visiting Castleton Saturday was Donna Cannon. home for the weekend from Colorado. Saturday the Fraziers were visited by granddaughters Tonya and Shannon Tharpe, also Mr. and Mrs. Mark Tharpe and Ellen Wharton.

You know that’s hard to do these days. This week’s greeting goes to Jim McCullough whose birthday was Friday. Castleton salutes you, Jim! (Seen his byline on the sports page lately? He’s the next Frank Gifford.) Billy Crash Craddock (“Rub it in; Rub it in”) is coming to Richmond Friday and Shirley Frye Hitt is taking Barbara Martin, Margaret Bright, and Jeannie Dwyer to hear him. When they get there, they’ll meet up with Shirley’s sister Nancy (better known in these parts as “Yatesey”) Jenkins and her friend Martha. Friday night Donna Gail is planning to spend the night at Shirley’s—she’ll be the first to hear the concert critique. Edward Pawley is pleasantly surprised that his old movies still get good reviews. A fan phone recently to tell him the 1934 version of “Treasure Island” was on the late-late show. Our movie star modestly calls himself “a minor celebrity” and says he has more pressing problems. Neither drought nor frost has halted his “avalanche of tomatoes.” You see, at Rock Mills, which everyone knows is the “heart of the world” the homegrown tomatoes are singing and dancing in the gardens, they’re feeling so fine. Mr. Pawley covers his little starlets with coverlets at night so the frost won’t dampen their spirits and he was getting ready to choreograph those with the rosiest cheeks in a kick line that would end up deep in a spaghetti sauce. It might get a little hot for the poor darlingss, but that’s the sacrifice they must make for their art. It's all in the interest of food. The Holschuhs and the Donalds heard about food at “The Transformation of Agriculture"—Friday’s lecture in the Voices of Rappahannock series. Doris says the Albemarle extension agent got a hand when he suggested that the world would be a better place if mankind spent less money on guns and more on taters. We turned on the radio Monday morning and heard that 1941 Little Charlie Dickens song “Take an Old, Cold Tater and Wait.” IttyBitty-Buddy, bless his heart, must have dug it out of the record library. If it’s a song about food, Roy will find it. He was the first one we heard playing "Home Grown Tomatoes”— But until next week remember what Aunt Michele tells Joey about proper etiquette: “The only way to eat peas with a knife is to mix ’em with molasses.” Sperryville Area News By MRS.

There's a lot to be said for deregulation. Probably the one best reason behind the government's decision to deregulate the telephone industry is competition. Competition that lets us choose who will sell us what we need and for what price. By removing some of the regulations and restrictions which now control telephone companies, the Federal Communications Commission hopes to give telephone customers more choices, especially when it comes to acquiringtelephone equipment. In fact, encouraging our customers to buy telephone equipment is one of the waysAA/e ve changed at Center as the nature of the business itself has changed with the move toward deregulation over the past three years. And we're going to do our best to help you understand any changes that are still to come. Your phone can be your own. For years the only way you could get a telephone was to rent one from the telephone company But under the new guidelines, things have changed. Customers who now rent phones from us may continue to rent these phones at the same location or if they move, install the same phones at their new location. Otherwise, only one telephone per line will be rented and then only if the telephone is *0 available from our existing m ■ inventory So, now when you need an additional phone, you will have to buy it like you would any small appliance. We've already changed for the better. You may have already taken advantage of some of the service changes we began when we saw deregulation coming some time ago. For instance, when you need your phones repaired you can bring them to one of our Pick-a-Phone Centers or other designated repair centers. We can fix most phones while you wait. Now it pays to do it yourself. You can even install phones yourself with i our easy Installk 3-Phone instructions and a few simple tools. Phonesjacks and wire are available at our Pick-a-Phone Centers. These services save you time and money because you do most of the work. And you do it when it's most convenient for you. ^ I PICK-A-PHONE CENTER 1 One thing won't change. Under deregulation, we'll still be your phone company We'll continue to offer you local and long distance service and you'll still be able to get phones, installation and repairs from Centel. And there's one more thing you can count on from us. We're going to work even harder to continue providing you with quality service you can count on. CENTEL

STOKES GENERALSTORE t "At the bridge" Main St., Front Royal NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULES GOVERNING THE DEFINITION OF THE NETWORK TERMINATION INTERFACE The Virginia State Corporation Commission (“Com minion") propoMt adopting rules governing the point •operating telephone company-provided facilities and Customer Premises Wiring (CPW). The Commission proposes that a telephone company-provided demarcation device or network termination interface serve as the de marcation point between Customer Premises Wiring ("CPW") and telephone company facilities. The demarca tion device would employ the industry's standard mod ular jack and plug, which permits the disconnection of all CWV from the telephone company network by simply removing the plug from the jack. The Commission has proposed these rules at a result of various actions taken by the Federal Communications Commission concerning expensing station connections and detariffing customer premises equipment. Moreover, from time to time various telephone customers have sought to be able to install their own telephone wiring within their premises, and certain telephone companies have filed tariffs with the Commission which would permit customers to install or to have installed their own telephone premises wiring. The text of the proposed rules can be examined during normal business hours at the Commission's Document Control Canter, Floor B1, Jefferson Building, Bank and Governor Streets, Richmond, Virginia and during normal business hours at telephone company offices where customer bills may be paid. Interested persons may submit written comments on the proposed rules on or before November 16, 1983, by writing to William C. Young, Clerk, Virginia State Corpora tion Commission, P. O.

Nichols told the commissions that a recent Pot Ed economic study had shown that $150,000 could he saved by converting distribution lines to 34.5 KVs as opposed to building a substation. That conversion can increase the electrical capacity of existing facilities several times over, he added. Ihe bottom line is what wo can save. . . translates into cheaper rates for all of us," Nichols said, adding that conversion to 34.5 KV distribution lines is particularly suitable in areas that are highly rural. As for taking power from a 34.5 KV distribution line to a 220 volt residence, a transformer can be connected directly from the line to the house, he assured the commissioners. The 34.5 KV lines will also help eliminate problems with low voltage surges. "That's probably the underlying cause for the conversion to 34.5 KVs,” Nichols added.

No Word On Quarry Subdivision Request “I haven’t seen or heard from Mr. Foster,” reported zoning administrator David Konick, referring to the applicant for a zoning exception to allow a six acre lot to be subdivided from the Flint Hill quarry tract. “I discussed meeting with him to find out how much land Mr. (W.A.) Gentry (owner of the property) still will have in that tract (if the subdivision is approved). . . Then Mr. Gentry called and said he does have 130 acres there,” he said. The property has only a narrow strip, 40 feet wide, that runs out to Route 647, according to Konick. “That’s the only part of the 123 acres with road frontage.” The zoning administrator said he’d asked Gentry to attend the planning commission’s meeting. “He said he was going in the hospital but that he’d try. Then last week, I saw him attempting to record the plat that the planning commission received at the last meeting (and did not approve the requested variance).” Konick noted that the clerk of the court had refused to record the plat. “I reminded him about the meeting and he said he would come but he’s not here. . . He mentioned something about he was going to stop paying taxes on the six acres and let the county sell it for back taxes,” the zoning administrator added with a wide grin. He reminded the commissioners that if the six acre subdivision is approved as an exception to ordinance requirements for road frontage, it will leave a balance of about 116 acres in the quarry tract, 40-50 acres of which are zoned industrial. By unanimous vote, the commissioners again tabled Foster’s subdivision application.

Do you think the present number of full and part-time deputies (three full, two part-time) is adequate? If not, why? What positions would you add? “The current staff is not adequate. “But before going any further, I’d like to explain that the number of personnel is governed by the state Compensation Board— which pays salaries for law enforcement. We can have more staff than the Compensation Board approves but the county has to pay the cost for any extra help. For Compensation Board approval, the usual rule is one deputy per 2,000 population. “I would like to see us have enough personnel for 24-hour, round the clock police service and for a fulltime investigator.

Where are we gonna eat?” can be as complex as determining which restaurant has the best wine list to who serves the fastest burger in town with the least amount of grease .And, on a Mondav night in the Loudoun-Fauquier area the decision has sometimes come down to "What's open for dinner?” as Monday is a traditional closing dav for manv restaurants following a busv weekend. Nevertheless, when looking for a nice place to eat”, several important factors usuallv enter into the decision making process. I pick a restaurant judging on who 1 m taking to dinner,” savs Bluemont resident Bill Bell, "and from there it's food and atmosphere.” I have a tendency to stav awav from the tourist traps.' Bell savs. I usuallv ask the local people whereever 1 happen to be. 1 don't pick the.place by the big ad in the paper. ' in other words, scout it out first, he savs. Leesburg resident S. D. Phillips Jr., who frequentlv enjovs traveling and dining out with his wife Bettv. always employs Bell's method of finding a 'good place to eat.” ”111 check the place at noon where we are considering dining that evening.” Phillips says, "I like to make a dry run, reading the menu, looking over the interior.” "If we like what we see, we'll go back tha t evening.'' Even with careful research mistakes are sometimes made in the dining cnoice and Phillips comments "you're sometimes going to get bad ones, the looks of a place don't always mean the food will be good.” Wendv Hawkin of Leesburg, who has a fondness for seeking out restaurants located in old buildings "lift till* mui I—», said she-otten makes her choice of a restaurant from the menu posted on window or door. "I like that method of giving the customer a choice/' Hawkin savs. "It's done frequently in Europe. A Leesburg businessman savs "good food, good service and reasonable prices" are his criteria for chosing a place to lunch or dine when entertaining clients. "I don't want a place that's too dark or a nosey waiter, but good service is essential," he savs. "You can tell a lot about the restaurant you're in by the waiter," Bell says. "If he or she knows the menu and can talk knowledgeablv about its selections then chances are vou've found a good place. "Usually I've found that the restaurant with a smaller menu is usually the best," Bell adds, and good restaurants generally use Diners Club and American Express Cards." Everyone has the u-uai horror story of dining out with children, either yours or someone else's (that you don't know and never want to see again) and one man s comment overheard in the foyer while waiting to be seated in a Fairfax Countv restaurant summed up the feelings of many on that subject. It s gotta to be a terrible place, they allow children in." Fast food restaurants have proved great inventions for those with children, especiallv those with toddler-types, and probably saved untold numbers of diners from heartbum, heart attack or ulcerated stomachs while trying to enjov a pleasant meal and coversation. The routine in looking for a place to eat is alwavs the same — don't ask around, check the menu or the waiter — ]ust look for the strategiclv positioned flashy plastic signs, run in. grab the burgers, fries and shakes, spill (or throw) on the floor w hat the little ones don't want, and hit the road again.

MENUS Restaurateurs Combine Available Resources With Metropolitan Market Food Offerings Their approaches to menu planning are as different as their restaurants. "It's a crap shoot every week," says Barney Collier, owner of the Marshall Pub and Restaurant in Marshall. Collier's restaurant has no printed menu; the offerings change daily ana are listed on a chalkboard whiclr waiters take to the table. Collier depends heavily upon local sources for much of his food — especially produce, game, poultry, fruit and herbs. The Pub's menu, which usually offers 10 entrees daily, reflects the availablity and quality of local foods, he says. The fare is "classic Fauquier County, which means that it has the styles and flavors of fine cooking from France and the freshness of the great agricultural area that Fauquier County is," Collier says. "This area has some of the finest fruit, vegetables and meats — comparable to any area of France." At the Cedars Inn near Calverton, chef George Richa also specializes in freshly prepared French cuisine. But Richa depends less on local food sources and more on connections he established while working for the State Department and at embassies in Washington and at the Hayloft Dinner Theatre in Manassas. “I check the market myself and I have a few people who hunt things for me/' says Richa. "I have good connections. If its available, I'll have it. They (the suppliers) know I'll always look for something unsual.” The Cedars printed menu offers 15 entrees and Richa adds "at least three or four specials daily. Sometimes I end up with 10." The Town 'N' Country Family Restaurant operates much differently from the Marshall Pub or The Cedars. Chef and half-owner Nick Petsas says the fare is basically "meat and potatoes," along with Italian, Greek and continential offerings to add variety. In other words, one can select a basic chopped sirloin steak or shrimp parmigina with spaghetti or chicken Kiev or mousaka from the Town 'N' Country's extensive printed menu. Petsas also offers three or four spe ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS. Robert Blanchard, head chef at the John Marshall Pub and Restaurant in Marshall, assembles wine, produce, poultry, fruit and herbs necessary to prepare "classic Fauquier County" cuisine. Local restaurateurs rely on local resources for fresh meat and vegetables as well as foods from metropolitan suppliers. cials daily, reflecting good buys from suppliers which he passes along to customers. The Town 'N' Country serves three meals a day, whereas the Pub and the Cedars specialize in dinners and catering only. Jimmy Grafas and Petsas, who grew up in the business and worked in fine restaurants such as Monk's Inn next to the Lincoln Center in New York, purchased the Town 'N' Country about three months ago and revised the menu completely. "The whole idea is volume," says Petsas. "I don't want to serve just five dinners. I want 500. That's how I'll make my money." ' Town 'N' Country deals regularly with large restaurant suppliers.

TRENDY: Local Franchises Mix Food Service With Lively Entertainment Themes Two restaurant franchises in the local area have combined food service to entertainment and have come up with a trend in eating out they believe answers the needs of the '80s and '90s. Chuck E. Cheese Family Centers and the Great Foodini ("The Magical Food Establishment") combine razzle-dazzle entertainment with the American propensity for quick, reasonably priced food. The two restaurants are totally different in the types of foods they offer and their mode of entertainment, but they both are blazing the trail of a new era in theme restaurants. Chuck E. Cheese, erroneously known to most grade schoolers as Chucky Cheese, is a Mickey Mouse type of character. The restaurant franchise carrying his name was created by Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, and combines a Disneyland type of atmosphere with technological entertainment. One room brims full of electronic video games. Another has a large screen television. Larger than human-sized Cyberamic characters like Mr. Munch, Jasper T. Jowls, Helen Henny, Pasqually and of course, Chuck E. Cheese, perform show and cabaret tunes on a stage in the main eating area. “The trend in blending food MM Magic will bring the people in, but the food will bring them back. Edmund J. O'Herron The Great Foodini service and entertainment is here to stay," says Pat Hopf, president of Chuck E. Cheese. The restaurants use computers to help run them; Chuck E. Cheese has been a forerunner in linking technology with the restaurant field. "We have to be on the forefront of new technology," he adds. "I'll be surprised if we don't end up doing a lot of computer camp classes in our stores." According to Hopf, iChuck E. Cheese will continually update electronic equipment. "Maybe we will buy a new game, maybe a new robot." In fact, "We use computers to run the restaurants," says Hopf. For the past two summers, Chuck E. Cheeses locally have held computer camps in their big screen TV room during the summer. The big TV screen was used for instruction, and Hopf foresees a time when one entire room will be filled with com puters just for fun. Hopf admits that the balance between blending food and entertainment got "slightly out of kilter," and not enough attention was given to the food. Hopf says Chuck E. Cheese is broadening its menu, and the "primary thrust is to become a (quality) pizza and Italian restaurant." Although 80 percent of the food product sale is pizza, Hopf says there is a salad bar, sundae bar and a few sandwich selections. Soon, if the new selections are not already in some of the restaurants, there will be choices of a steak sandwich, cold subs, and possibly some pasta dishes. While the pizza is being prepared, the kids rush into the Fantasy Forest with the tokens that come free when the meal is ordered and play the video games until the tokens run out. Then they return to Mom, or Dad, or both and beg for quarters so they can play more games. There are approximately 200 Chuck E. Cheeses nationally. In just the metropolitan Washington area, there are 10 restaurants, and in Virginia there are six more. Locally they are in Springfield, Burke, Baileys Crossroads, and there is one on Richmond Highway. The Great Foodini has a fast food restaurant, entertainment amphitheatre, electronic video game room, separate cocktail lounge and dining room located in Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax. Posters of Houdini, David Copperfield, Doug Hennings, the Amazing Randi and more line the walls where the combination restaurant blends magic and sophisiticated fast food. In the Foodini Express, fast food such as hot pastrami on rye, no bean Texas-style chili, kosher-style hot dog, roast beef and the all-American hamburger are whipped out a la Roy Rogers style. But in the amphitheatre runs a 10-minute magic film which demonstrates magic tricks. The video game room is off to one side with the newest games, including Dragon Lair where the player controls the events in a cartoon. Fried zucchini or cheese sticks, mussels and butter-garlic sauce, stuffed potato skins, or French onion soup can open the dining act, made in-house daily.

NOUVELLE CUISINE It's 7 a.m. and the sun has lifted over the slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains, peeking down on Mt. Airy, an 18th century home nestled in the Shenandoah Valley in Clarke County. A dark-eyed young man is working in the garden collecting herbs and fresh vegetables. Not an unusual scene, except for the fact that the young man is Chef Alain Borel of L'Auberge Provencale restaurant in White Post. Those herbs and vegetables will find their way to the tables of his customers after 6 p.m. So when Borel boasts that his foods are fresh from the garden you can believe it. He takes pains that they will be. Americans, used to processed food—fast and often flavorless—may find unusual such attention to the details of eating, but those who partake of the nouvelle cuisine prepared by Borel certainly don't complain. Borel and his Pennsylvania-born wife Celeste own and operate L'Auberge. Alain is a fourth-generation chef, born in Avignon, France, known for its famous bridge and its popes. The newest innovation at L'Auberge, a guest house with four rooms furnished in the Victorian style and due to be ready for occupancy October 15, is in keeping with Borel's heritage. His great-grandfather owned a Americans. . .may find unusual such attention to the details of eating, but those who partake of the nouvelle cuisine prepared by Borel certainly don't complain. W i hotel in Avignon which dated from the 12th century, when it served as a gathering place for knights preparing for the Crusades. "I grew up in a kitchen,” says the chef, who would be a pilot if he didn't enjoy the diversitv and variety of his life. Being the owner as well as the chef gives him freedom to experiment in a number of ways. At L'Auberge the menu changes each month as Borel works the foods and fruits of the season into his cuisine. With fall just begun, game dishes will be a feature at L'Auberge. Venison is one item that appears on the menu in autumn, but although the Valley of Virginia teems with the white-tailed deer, all Borel's meat must be imported from Australia or New Zealand. It s against the law to sell deer meat here/' the chef explains, but abroad there are deer farms where they are raised for the table. The plus to this, Borel notes, is that "the meat doesn't have a very 'gamy' taste and it's very tender." HOWTO EATA TACO Figure 1 . Btt«4 Bit* 3 ' / * .

Alain leans to what he calls the nouvelle cuisine in French cooking, with light sauces which “enhance the food rather than cover it up", and a lesson from the Chinese, who, Alain insists, know how to cook vegetables better than anyone else. "We French have a tendency to overcook all our vegetables," he says. But while some things are new, others are very old, including some of the recipes, which have been handed down from generation to generation. "The recipe for this cake goes back to 900," as Celeste points to a creation. Alain describes his art as a heritage, while Celeste insists French cooking is just another “ethnic food". "They simply used all the things that were available to them." The Borels compare the cooking of southern France to that of northern Italy. "In France, cooking is the Renaissance art of the country," says Celeste with a smile. "In Italy, the Renaissance produced art works, in France, good food." Both Borels insist the character of their cuisine comes from following the French custom of using only fresh items. "In France you have the open markets, you can buy the best of everything every day," says Celeste. "If you stop at a country inn in France and order chicken," Alain explains, "they just go out back and kill one for you." At L'Auberge, you may be as close to that French tradition as is possible in America. The Borels raise their own rabbits to provide that staple of French cooking. "The French eat a lot of rabbit," Alain reports, adding, "It has more protein than chicken, is inexpensive to raise and takes a lot less room." Last Easter the restaurant fea- 1 tured milk-fed lamb on its menu. I "I bought the lambs locally," i said Alain. j "You can't buy suckling lamb at a food dealer's, in fact you can't buy it anywhere." Borel had to slaughter the lambs himself and have them inspected before the meat could be served up with fresh sprigs of thyme. "These are things you can only get in the country." i Such delicacies are the reason ■ about 75 per cent of the Borels' cus- j tomers come out to the country res- ' taurant from the Washington ! metropolitan area. The guests tend to , follow another French custom and linger over their meals, staying anywhere from one to six hours sampling the food and the Borels' increasingly well stocked wine cellar. “In France, eating is a major thing," says Celeste, noting most people take at least two hours for lunch. "Afternoons in France are not very productive," says Alain with a laugh. "They don't get going again 'til 4. We French love food, wine and fellowship." , Since their customers want to spend time” over the cuisine at L'Auberge, the Borels decided to branch out and become a real country inn. Then folks who dirve out from DC can linger over as many courses as thev choose, and instead of starting home at midnight can watch the stars twinkling over the dark mountains from Mt. Airv's spacious front porch before adjourning to bed in one of the new guest rooms. A continental breakfast is provided the next morning in front of a window overlooking the peaceful vallev countryside to cap the visit. L'Auberge is open for dinner from 6 to 10:30 p.m. and on Sunday for brunch from noon to 3 p.m. The Borels close Mondays and Tuesdays, since their schedule calls for them to shop three days a week in addition to CASA MEXIDELI Restaurant creates all your Mexican favorites at lower prices!

The Painstaking Efforts Of UAuberge Provencaleh ChefBor el Assure Fresh, Quality Selections Daily their own gardening and animal raising, and Alain begins dinner preparations at noon each day. When they kept the restaurant open six days a week, they found they were putting in about 100 hours a week in their business with no time to catch their breath. Dedication to quality was a big reason for cutting back to a five-day week. Alain does all the cooking, with the help of assistants who handle salads and pastries. Celeste says the prices on their menus are lower than those in comparable French restaurants in the metropolitan area, in part because they want to tempt people to try things and develop their taste. “There are some things, like snails, if you don't like them, you don't like them," says Celeste with a smile. “But there are things like sweetbreads that are just wonderful if prepared the right way. Alain's cooking is very good, really good," she adds with wifely pride. "We don't bring back any full plates to the kitchen!" NOUVELLE CUISINE. Chef Alain Borel and his wife Celeste operate L'Auberge Provencale restaurant in White Post. The Borels' painstaking efforts of raising vegetables, herbs and cattle assure customers of a freshly-prepared dish every time. si Chains Rely On Magical Charm (Continued from Page 4) "We make everything on the premises," says Edmund J. O'Herron, director of marketing. "Convenience is very' much in the mind of the consumer. The consumer is more sophisticated, better educated, better informed. They are looking for more heathy foods, no processed foods...they are looking for good value because they are eating out more often.. .and that's due to more working women and smaller families. "Americans will be eating out to the tune of $127 billion in 1983," and a lot of that business goes to the fast food restaurants, says O'Herron. "Our plan has never been to de velop one restaurant," he continues, "we have plans for 20 more restaurants in four and a half to five years." Happy hour is between 5 to 7 p.m.; roving magicians entertain those at the bar during the evening as does a "headliner" magician, such as the Amazing Randi, on stage. Young adults are the primary clientele that the Great Foodini is trying to attract, although O'Herron says they certainly do not preclude chifdren. To O'Herron, the magic entertainment is important, but the food quality and variety is crucial. "Magic will bring the people in, but the food will bring them back." i Best Food in Northern Virginia Beef & Fresh Seafood Banquet rooms available, 35-75 people Open 11 a.m.-lO p.m., Mon.-Fri. 4:30-10:30 Sat., Closed Sun. 409 Maple Ave. East Vienna, Va. 22180 938-0333 Steak House imi Home of the fabulous Filet Mignon Steaks T-Bones — Sirloins — Seafood — Chicken Fresh Cooked Vegetables Special Luncheon Served Daily-2 Large Banquet Rooms Meyor Credit Cards Accepted Tuesday-Saturday lOa.m.-l 1 p.m. Sunday 10 a.m.-10 p.m. * Closed Monday 347-4100 1 mile north of Warrenton on Rt. 17, Warrenton Taste a bit of history... at la Chapelle > ■Pjy Enjoy fine cuisine and service while ' ■ |‘[ experiencing the elegant setting of a • W - ’ renovated church over a century old, complete with stained glass This picturesque atmosphere in historic Olde Towne Manassas is like no other place to dine.

SUB CITIES: Area Sandwich Shops Cater To Local Lunchtime Crowds When Oliver and Ginger Skinker decided to open a business they went to Warrenton and "did an analysis of what was needed in the downtown area and this is what we came up with." Their business, The Sandwich Seller on Culpeper Street, is now in its eighth month of operation and has, Skinker says, “become a kind of community type thing, which kind of surprised us." The Skinkers offer a variety of "deli-style sandwiches" at the Sandwich Seller, like bacon, lettuce and tomato, ham, corned beef, patrami, shrimp salad and turkey breast. They also serve breakfast until 10:30 a.m. during the week and all day Saturday. Aside from that and sandwiches, they serve soups, chili, and have a salad bar. "Basically, it's a pretty simple menu," Skinker says. The restaurant's hours now are 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., but when the Skinkers get their beer license (expected around the first of October) the hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to Skinker. The restaurant offers a daily lunch special ("We try to make it something different or unusual," says Skinker) and seats 48 people. Prices range between $1.60 for egg salad and $2.75 for a club sandwich, with the average sandwich running about $2.25, Skinker says. The following is a partial listing of some other sub and sandwich shops in the area: • The Hidden Sub at Holly Plaza in Sterling has been in business for about four years, according to owner Tong Cho. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as “all kinds of subs—you name it," Cho says. Half subs range between $2.10 and $2.20, and whole subs sell for around $3.90. The Hidden Sub is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. • The Subway Sandwich Shop on West Loudoun Street in Leesburg, part of a franchise of individually owned restaurants, is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, according to manager Michael Bartley. The Subway, which opened three years ago, offers a "wide variety of cold cuts," in addition to a "small italian line, a small seafood line" and salads. A six-inch sub sells for between $1.50 and $3.50, while a foot-long sub ranges between $2.50 and $4.50, Bartley says. • Joe's Pizza and Subs at 352 Waterloo Street in Warrenton has been in operation for the past four years and is open seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and until midnight Shoney’s Inn Restaurant Family Dining at its Best!!!

A plain sub sells for about $1.95 with toppings added for 25<t each, she says. • At The Brown Bag on Reston Avenue in Reston, owner Hormoz Khiltash serves about 150 sandwiches a day, he says. Customers can choose from a menu of about 25 to 30 sandwiches, including vegetarian specials like the Spinach Melt and the Avocado Dream, a selection of cold subs, as well as hot subs like meatball and cheese and steak and cheese. The Brown Bag, which is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and seats about 50 people, has subs and sandwiches ranging from $1.25 to $2.75, according to Khiltash. • About 25 different subs are served at Uncle Abe's Pizza Parlor at 2D West Loudoun Street in Leesburg, according to Ariavni Zarou, who with her husband, Ronnie, has operated the restaurant for nearly 10 years. Sub selections include steak and egg, pepper steak, meatball with cheese, sausage and egg, cheeseburger, hamburger, and beef and onion.

Waterford resident Martha Ballinger, the mother of two children under age six, looks for "family atmosphere" in chosing a restaurant, while trying to avoid those places resembling "free for alls." "I want my children to learn good table manners, to be able to communicate in public,” Ballinger says. "And so on special occasions mv husband and 1 try to find places we will enjoy that will promote this.” Tom Barden of Hamilton, the father of two boys under age 10, says his primary concerns in dining out with his family are "good quality food at reasonable prices." "1 want to dine in nice, family restaurants when I take the boys out to eat," Barden says. Elegant Dining... in relaxing atmosphere overlooking Lake Anne.

NO-FRILLS: Good Food For A Good Price Is Theme Of Area Cafeterias The cafeteria. No matter how you look at it, the cafeteria conjures up only one image. Who can forget it? Remember way back in elementary and secondary school waiting in line at the cafeteria? Recall the fears harbored? Remember the time you dropped your tray right after paying for your meal? The cafeteria workers (they always seemed to be heavyset women with perpetual scowls) would sneer and hand you the mop. They weren't going to clean it up. You made the mess — you clean it up. How about the skills you needed for operating successfully in a cafeteria? You had to be able to stack all your food on the tray without anything falling off. After paying for your meal, you had to walk to a table, and this could only be accomplished "cooly" if you one-handed your tray. If you carried it with two hands, you were labeled a nerd. It is surprising that with all of the bad memories most people have about cafeterias they still survive. But survive they do. As a matter of fact, they are an institution. And they are not just limited to schools anymore. When in Fairfax, the top three in public cafeterias are Fairfax Hospital, the Massey Building and the Courthouse. FAIRFAX HOSPITAL Located in the basement of the hospital on Gallows Road in Fairfax, the cafeteria provides both hot and cold lunches with specials of the day. A spacious facility, the cafeteria is used by a wide variety of people — hospital employees, visitors and others. Perhaps one of the highlights of the hospital cafeteria is the conversation one can listen to by eavesdropping. You'll hear everything from Aunt Martha's gall bladder operation to a review of the latest sporting event. The medical conversations, as expected, provide a degree of melo1 drama to your lunch. It's better than soaps.and bon-bons. Another plus for the hospital cafeteria is there are few delays and hassles. Many people who use the cafeteria have family or friends admitted at the hospital, and those people often have enough to worry about without having to deal with cafeteria “entertainment” or shenanigans. On the other hand, those people are usually too preoccupied to concern themselves with aspects such as price and quality. MASSEY BUILDING This is the best kept dinning secret in Virginia. Reservations are not required, dress is informal though practical, and the decor is very simple. The Massey building cafeteria is located on the ground floor of the building near the meeting place of the county board of supervisors. The small cafeteria provides a cozy place to eat while pondering zoning cases, industrial development bond sales and the great philisophical debate of whether Lorton should be located in the county. A huge cooler is stocked with your favorite type of chocolate milk, grapefruit juice and pre-made cellophane-wrapped sandwiches. Trays are neatly stacked, and plenty of napkins and siverware are available. The cafeteria doesn't have to provide this service, it's just another example of the effort made to please their patrons. Sandwiches of every shape, size and composition can be made to order. The best deal in Fairfax City is a sandwich, chips, pickle and small soda for exactly $2.03, the reporters special so to speak. The sandwiches will even be wrapped in cellophane if you opt to forego the dinning experience and take the food to your office. The clear cellophane allows you to see just what your meal looks like on the way to your office. Another first class service. All size tables are available, and parking is on a first come, first served system. Get here early so as not to miss the fine dinner theater provided by area politicans. The County Courthouse Trully the pride and joy of the area legal system. This lavish cafeteria is what all others aspire to be. Equipped with hot and cold meals, a deli line, salad bar, self-serve ice cream and complete range of dining untensils, this is the dean of area cafeterias. There are enough tables here to comfortably seat any size party or law firm. However, it might be tough to decide where to sit if you are a first time diner. lo be a polite uiner and part ot the Courthouse scene, go from table to table and introduce yourself and describe your.dining habits. The legal crowd is very friendly and loves to talk with strangers. Pull up a chair next to anyone with a three-piece suit and say you saw a Porsche with its lights on in the parking lot. You shouldn't have to wait to get ketchup or the salt this way. Prices here are a little higher than in the Massey building. A neat trick would be to buy your cellophane sandwich at the Massey building and bring it hear to eat. The best of both worlds so to speak. Chinese and American Food i at if s best!

BRUNCHES: Popular Sunday Get-Togethers Are An Exercise In Excess The Sunday brunch, popular during the '70s, continues to gather devotees in the '80s. Some restaurants have found it such a good draw that they now offer Saturday brunch as well. The menus, originally rather cautiously offering nothing more imaginitive than eggs Benedict and creamed chipped beef, have correspondingly been expanded to include an exotic array of egg, chicken, beef and fish dishes. The buffets offered in ethnic establishments positively groan with foreign delicacies that tempt the diner into an oblivion of overindulgence. For many, Sunday brunch is the only time to go out to eat. At the more popular places, reservations are an absolute necessity, and lines form well before the opening hour. A perfect example of the sort of brunch that develops a coterie of regulars is the one served at the Hotel DuPont in Wilmington, Delaware. It is heaven; the ultimate in elegant pig-outs. As the string quartet plays on the gilded balcony, it is eat, drink and be merry below. Rarely does one have such an opportunity to see so many members of the gentry with their greed hanging out. The black-uniformed waitresses and waiters (all of whom look as if they had once served the DuPonts themselves) glide in and out between the tables dispensing coffee and tea r and an occasional kind word. Behind the long, laden tables, other servers wait to fulfill every wish and whim. The tab for all this luxury does not come cheaply. Brunch for adults is $14.50 (drinks extra) and for children under 12 the price is $9.50. The dining room staff suggests that reservations be made at least two weeks in advance (302-656-8121) and if it is a special occasion and you wish to be assured of a table, three or four weeks in advance is a good idea. The brunch is served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and there are generally three seatings. Off in the other direction, down in Charlottesville, the Boars Head Inn serves an attractive, but limited Sunday morning buffet. On warm mornings, tne terrace is tne cnoice spot, but when the weather turns cool, the warmth ot the red plaid rug and the yawning fireplace in the dining room welcome the chilled diner. Three buffets are set up in the main dining room: one with chilled fresh fruit and juices; the second with hot grits, eggs, sausages, beef stew and an assortment of breads; and the last with irresistible peaches, pecan pie and chocolate cake all to be topped with the most enormous bowl of whipped cream in the entire world. On the local scene, Sunday brunches are divided between the buffet variety and offerings from a The #1 Place Tor Ribs We Served The Redskins During Their Super Bowl Championship Season.

PIG-OUTS: All-You-Can-Eat Facilities Offer Moderately Priced Meals During these hard times when the economy takes its toll on all of us, it becomes a true pleasure to find that you can still dine out for a moderate price and still leave with a full stomach. All-You-Can-Eat restaurants, those that offer a large menu and do not work in a buffet or smorgasbord style, are far and few between, but the Chesapeake Seafood House is in a class of its own. At precisely 11:30 a.m. the doors open to greet the line of customers from the neighborhood businesses that await its lunchtime specials. Once in the door, patrons are seated quickly by the waiters and waitresses in a matter of minutes, and the restaurant fills before the noon hour. The luncheon special offers are usually varietal in that they offer the customers an all-you-can-eat selection; a main course, complete with hushpuppies, French fries and cole slaw; special features such as a steamed broiled filet of flounder for $5.50 or Maryland-style crab cakes for $4.99. Posted in the lobby of the restaurant is the summertime specials offered. These include steamed crablegs for $10.99, steamed spiced shrimp for $11.99, and fried soft shell crab for $12.99, all of them on an allyou-can-eat basis. In addition to their summertime, specials, they also offer a regular selection of fish and chicken on an allyou-can-eat basis, ranging in price from $3.99 to $14.99 for adults, $1.99 to $2.99 for children six through twelve years of age, and those under six are free. Reorders can be any item of equal or less value than the original order. Inside the Chesapeake Seafood House, one will not find the cozy lounge chairs or the dimly lit private corners in the back of the restaurant, but instead thev will find themselves surrounded by a web of fishnet. Sparsely hung around the tall, grey walls are pictures of the sea, and sea faring images that make one feel as though one is in the warehouses with the fishermen after a long day out on the waters. The restaurant is divided into separate eating rooms with picnic It becomes a true pleasure to find that you can still dine out for a moderate price and still leave with a full stomach. type tables arranged side by side. The waiters and waitresses run back and forth with trays full of seafood delectables, as the customers order and re-order to their heart's content. When the special summertime prices are not in effect, items such as steamed crab legs or steamed fried shrimp are offered for $12.99. An order of deep fried sea scallops will cost you $14.99, and if you care to switch to the crab legs, or even the fried ostyers or the fried frog legs, both for $11.99 as your second or third helping, the staff is more than accomodating. For those who prefer trout or cod or flounder, the menu also offers a fried filet of trout for $3.99, fried battered crisp cod and fried filet of flounder, both for $4.99 The Chesapeake also offers a selection for those concerned about calories, or who would rather have something that is not fried or battered. The lunchtime special offers an all-you-can-eat soup and salad for $2.50. The salad is a generous portion, served with your choice of dressing, and also a choice of three different soups, New England clam chowder, Manhattan clam chowder and shrimp gumbo.

GROWTH: Franchise Owners View Leesburg As Area Of Future Development Two restaurants are hardly a measure of the economic health of the restaurant industry, but the decisions of two companies to opern fast food restaurants in Leesburg within a month of each other last year does represent a belief that the area is an attractive, and growing, market. First Venture of Virginia Partnership opened a Hardee's restaurant in south Leesburg at the intersection of S. King Street and Catoctin Circle in October. The next month Plamondon Enterprises Inc. opened a Roy Rogers franchise in front of the Leesburg Plaza Shopping Center in east Leesburg. Both are near areas where growth is expected to come. And both are counting on that growth to prove out the decisions to build there. "I certainly didn't see it shortterm, because I built in the middle of a recession,” says Peter H. Plamondon, president of Plamondon Enterprises. "But in the long-term I think Leesburg is going to be a good bet." Bill Wright, operating manager of Hardee's for First Venture, takes a similar view. "Loudoun County, we felt had the population base to support it," he says. He adds that when the group built the restaurant, it wanted to make it work immediately, but with the knowledge that the area would grow. _ SLOW DOWN FOR FAST FOOD. Customers at Roy Rogers Family Restaurant at Leesburg Plaza enjoy the comfort of stying in their cars and drivng through to pick up their food. This franchise is one of two recently opened in Leesburg — an area developers expect future growth. "When the area grows we'll be in good shape," he says, "and 1 think that's going to happen." The health of the county business community depends on the county's recognition that growth will have to come, says Wright. In the case of Leesburg business, the town is "a logical service area to the residential3evelopment that is going to und floor of arched Tycon Co on Route 123 next to J.K.J. FREE.CaSTQMERPARKlN ©ft.CREblT.CARD happen. And I think Leesburg can prosper from it also." Both men have a view of the business beyond Loudoun, because both companies operate numerous restaurants. Plamondon owns two Roy Rogers in Frederick, Md., with another due to open in eight weeks. He has been in the restaurant business since 1950, including 16 years with Marriott Corporation, which owns the Roy Rogers chain. Business now is good, he says, especially in Frederick, where the highway network is in place and the labor market is good, with a good industrial base. That status is in the future for Loudoun, but not yet. "We're not breaking records in Leesburg and I don't see the vibrancy in the economy down there that I see up here," he says. "Obviously I don't see the need for a second one down there for a long time to come." Before he opened the Leesburg restaurant, Plamondon conducted a market study, analyzing the demographics of the community and the competition. It is the potential for market growth and also the type of community Leesburg is — "on the upscale” — that drew Plamondon to Loudoun. The general economy is also boosting the restaurant business. "In general it's an improving trend/' Plamondon says. The oil crises of the 1970s had the greatest effect on the restaurant business, Plamondon said, cutting down on travel and the amount of money people could spend. The recent recession made family money even tighter. But now he sees a "slowdown in the continuing rise in prices" and a decline in mortgage and interest rates, enabling families to take vacations again. "We had a terrific sum mer," he says. There is also the increase in “disposable income," especially with both parents working and the tendency for families to eat out for a little more cost. The improvements are most evident with restaurants in the lower range of prices, he says, but even the higher priced restaurants are benefitting. Major corporations, such as General Mills and Pillsbury, are buying into restaurant chains on the higher end of the dinner price scale. The economic problems of the past also have left an imprint on people's demands, Plamondon adds, causing “a focus on quality" and a benefit to those restaurants which have the quality service and product. That is also the case with Hardee's, Wright says, noting that the chain in the last three years has had the largest average volume increase per unit of any restaurant chain in the country. But he doesn't use that as a general economic indicator because “we're getting more of a share of the market." It might not hold true elsewhere. “Where you see the economic trend in this business...is in the profit, not in sales," Wright says. “You have to strike a balance between profit and keeping the numbers coming in the door," he explains, “and sometimes you eat some profit in order to keep the customers happy." Wright says that is important because people are looking for quality and at "cost-value relationship." STEAK * HOUSE "Delicious and Affordable" U.S.D.A.

SCENIC: Skyline Drive Features Several Dining Places For Area Tourists A trip along Skyline Drive is a traditional outing for thousands of nature lovers who come for the colorful extravaganza put on by the leaves each fall. The show is a crowd pleaser and so are the opportunities for dining in Luray and Front Royal. The two towns can be either entrance or exit for the Drive, a decision that could depend on where leaf watchers want to eat. For t^arly risers who take Interstate 66 to Front Royal, the day can begin with breakfast at the Biscuit Basket, a low slune old carriage house of field stone on Route 340. Seating is the only drawback at the Biscuit Basket. The chairs are straight up ladder backs with little hard seats that hit all the wrong places. But the menu, topped by light, fluffy homemade biscuits just like grandma used to bake, far surpasses the egg and muffin selections served by fast food joints. Those who leave the Drive at Front Royal in the evening can stop at the Biscuit Basket for dinner, traditional Southern cooking seved family style in the dining room (where the chairs are more comfortable). For elegant evening dining at reasonable prices, there's the Fondue Parlor in the same building open Friday and Saturday nights only. The menu includes cheese, beef, shrimp A trip along Skyline Drive is a traditional outing for thousands of nature lovers who come for the colorful extravaganza put on by the leaves each fall. and dessert fondues, all exceptionally delicious and served with salad that is as beautiful as it is tasty. Next to High's on Royal Avenue is Royal Pizza where town businessmen meet for lunch and youngsters congregate after school. In addition to the standard fare of pizza, sandwiches, lasagne and manicotti (all much better than average), Royal Pizza fixes a great stromboh, a pizza dough turnover stuffed generously with tomato, cheese and ham, folded and baked. Messy but delicious and a big hit with kids. They also get high marks for their steak subs—thinly sliced beef, sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomato sauce. The sub is so good that it's been the almost-every-day order of several local businessmen for year. The service at Royal Pizza is also a treat—fast, pleasant and very friendly.

Across the street and a step up in price and class is Mv Father's Mustache, a restaurant with charming American decor, including Coca Cola memorabilia, antique toys and old doll houses. Luncheon specials are a bargain. Homemade soup is available both at midday and in the evening. The cooks at My Father's Mustache aren't afraid to experiment. Occasionally they miss the mark a bit but generally the soups are a bulIseye. Other lunch favorites are the Shenandoah burger, a thick, juicy hamburger topped with bacon and melted Swiss cheese, and the chicken salad, an unusual combination of moist chicken chunks, onions, pimiento and nuts. Dinner entrees at My Father's Mustache fall in the average and expensive category, but the wine list is much more extensive than is usually found in a rural Virginia town. The best salads in Front Royal are served at the Round Up Caledonia at the intersection of Routes 55 and 522. The salad bar has all the expected makings-tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, pepper rings, bacon bits, chopped egg—plus several varieties of bean sprouts, spinach, romaine lettuce, fresh mushrooms, every kind of pickle and relish imaginable, kidney beans, pickled green beans, cole slaw, fresh fruit and more, all looking just picked from the garden and attractively arranged. At La Fiesta across the street, Mexican food fans can gorge on tacos, burritos, refried beans, guacamole and enchiladas. It's THE place in town to fill up on good food at a reasonable price. Another great buy for lunch is the hot and sour soup at The Golden China Restaurant, next door to Howard Johnson's on the by-pass to Route 81. At about $2 per person, it's a bargain, spicy and rich, floating with sliced mushrooms, bean curd and scallions and slivers of ginger and meat. Connoisseurs of Chinese cuisine may find the egg rolls a bit pedestrian and the Szechwan dishes a little mild and a touch too heavy with sweet and sour, but the offerings are certainly adequate and rea(Continued on Page 17) f The GreenTree v Elegant 18th Century Award Winning Cuisine The Green Tree Restaurant, located in the heart of Historic Leesburg, Va.

QUICKIES: Warrenton Bypass’s Fast Food Strip Puts Out Burgers, Fries On Demand From one sunrise to the next, Warrenton fast food restaurants dole out an average of 775 pounds of hamburger meat, 135 gallons of soft drinks and (!!!) 801 pounds of french fries. Multiply by 365 sunrises and we're talking megatons! The answer to the question "who eats in fast food restaurants?" is easy. Practically everyone. It's doubtful the likes of Julia Child or James Beard would ever darken the doorways of one of these establishments, and there are a few diehards who would rather eat nothing than stoop to the level of fast food. But the majority — including doctors, secretaries, lawyers, teachers, truckers, journalists, children, teenagers, police officers and construction workers to name a few — do. The answer to the question "why?" is a different story. "I hate to waste a lot of time eating," says a Warrenton lawyer. "The kids like them and they are quick and convenient," says another. An office worker says, "I don't know. I just do." Repeatedly the words "quick, lazy, inexpensive, and convenient" were used, especially by the virtually addicted. One person said breakfast time at one area FFR is like happy hour at the local pub. Everyone seems to gather there. It's a great place to meet all your friends, he said. "They're great," said another fan. "I just hop in the car and go down there and grab a burger. The food's not great, but it's probably better than what I'd make for myself at home." A British expatriot says, "Fast food restaurants and America are synonymous. Fast food restaurants have had a profound affect on the reputation of the United States since the 50s." This Limey declined to say if the reputation was for better or worse. She was hard to find, but one young woman, at mere mention of the topic, crossed her eyes, held her stomach with one hand, and used the index finger of the other to spell out R-O-L-A-I-D-S. "To get me into a fast food place I either have to be at starvation point and have no alternatives, or be with a business colleague who's footing the bill. Fortunately occasions such as those are rare," she said.

If one guy comes in with beef for $2.75 and other has it for $3.25, you're going to buy at $2.75 if it is the same quality." On the other hand, the Pub and the Cedars buy from many specialized suppliers. Collier, for example, buys live Maine lobsters from B & B Lobster of Sterling Park, suckling pig and other pork from retired Lt. Col. Austin Bach of Valhalla Farm at Hume, vegetables and flowers from Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Showalter of Marshall and a “notorious" chocolate-bourbon pie from Mrs. Lucas Nelson of Marshall. "We really do look for things," says Collier. "Anybody's who's got anthing good, we'd like to know about. Right now, we're looking for new dug potatoes and good grapes." Like Collier, Richa plans much of his fare according to the season. "I plan the specials daily," he explains.

The Melting Pot, a pizzeria on the by-pass, has a reputation among teenagers (and who should know better?) for the best pizza within a 60mile radius. Another good spot to hit for a take-out picnic to carry up to an overlook on the Drive or for a quick bite on the way back home is the European Deli on Royal Avenue. They sell imported beer and local wines that complement perfectly a wide offering of sandwiches, great German potato salad, good cole slaw and dill pickles like the ones from New York delis. Two competitors for best-on-thelist of sandwiches are the Skyliner (rare roast beef, tomatoes, cole slaw and onions) and the continental (turkey, roast beef and horse radishspiced cole slaw). All sandwiches are served on the customer's choice of rye, pumpernickel, wheat or rye bread. Travellers who end their trip down Skyline Drive at Luray may choose an elegant meal at the Parkhurst Restaurant, where dining is always an experience. The decor is a cross between butcher block/plants in hanging baskets motif and early motel. But don't be put off. The service is elegant (from chilled soup spoons to different styles of glasses for each wine chosen from an extensive list) and the food is superb. An international menu includes fettucini with shell fish, roast duck with orange suace and teriyaki beef. Prices are reasonable, considering the quality, running from $5.95 for the chef's salad to $19.95 for filet mignon and lobster. Soups and breads are homemade, vegetables and fruits homegrown. The restaurant has been favorably reviewed by Phyllis Richman, food critic for the Washington Post. There's a wonderful story about her visit to Parkhurst. A party showed up late one rainy Wednesday evening after owner-manager-chef George Widdleton had excused his staff for the night and was preparing to close the doors. Widdleton ran back and forth from the kitchen to the table through a series of appetizers and entrees, taking The show is a crowd pleaser and so are the opportunities for dining in Luray and Front Royal.

Ragged, tired and faced with preparing and serving several different desserts, he complained: "Well, I guess the next thing you'll tell me is that you're Phyllis Richman." "As a matter of fact, I am," answered the woman who had been doing all the ordering for the party of four. Chagrined, Middleton sat down and explained that he was filling the roles of chef, wine steward, waiter and dish washer. Reportedly, Ms Richman was charmed and understanding, the two shared friendly conversation throughout the rest of the meal and she later wrote a glowing review. Another top eating spot in Luray is Brown's Restaurant downtown on the Main Street. The name belies the type; the menu is authentic Chinese, an unexpected find in an old tannerv town. Just over the mountain from the entrance to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive is Brookside Restaurant. The owners are Greek and prepare specialities from their native land in addition to the Southern country fare. Evenings, they serve an all-you-can-eat special: Wednesdays pan fried chicken, Thursdays spaghetti, Fridays fried pork chops and fried flounder, and Saturday rib eye steaks and pork chops.

The food can be either taken out for a picnic on the Drive or enjoyed under the hanging baskets in the restaurant. Just before heading up or down the mountain, motorists can stop in historic Washington, Virginia, the town surveyed by 17-.year-old George Washington. The town's three restaurants span the gamut. Nature's Foods and Cafe serves a Sunday brunch with some of the best omelettes anywhere, mouth-watering fresh fruit and yogurt concoctions and crisp, light-as-a-feather waffles. The weekday lunch menu includes a special and a wide range of sandwiches with interesting and unusual combinations—grated carrots and shredded cheese, sauteed mushrooms and melted cheese and avocado and melted cheese. On Saturday, hungry visitors choose from the sandwiches only. At the Black Kettle Restaurant, Paul and Joan St. Clair offer bowls of homemade soup (the potato and pea is something to write home about), a fresh salad bar, thick, juicy hamburgers and spicy barbecued pork. The Inn at Little Washington is Washington's claim to culinary fame. Two years ago, Esquire magazine compiled a list of the 100 best new restaurants in America. Only one was included from Virginia: The Inn at Little Washington. Awarded raves by the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Washington Star and Commonwealth magazine, the Inn serves both classical and nouveau French cuisine. The service is impeccable and the surroundings elegant. It is theater and fine dining combined. However, during the season of the leaves reservations are a must. There are restaurants on the Drive itself—Big Meadows, Skyland and Panorama plus several wayside fast food eateries, all run as concessions. But unless Howard Johnson's is your idea of a good restaurant, it's best to save the eating for later and spend your time on the Drive admiring the leaves and the view.

WINE: More Than Just A Thirst-Quencher, Wine Relaxes And Warms The Drinker Man probably has consumed wine since he first stood upright, picked his first bunch of grapes and eventually discovered the fruit of the vine had more to offer than pulp and seeds. Since the fermentation of wine will occur naturally—the sun acting on the sugar content, the cool breeze affecting the amount of acid and wild wine yeast accumulating on the skin with little or no help from man—one can assume that even before recorded history, something other than milk and water was shared around primitive campfires. Wine however is more than a thirst-quencher. It is a liquid that has the pleasant capacity to both relax and warm those who drink it. Hieroglypics, labels on broken potsherds and illustrations on the walls of the cities and tombs of the early Pharaohs indicate the art of wine appreciation was well developed at that time. An article in a recent edition of Vinifera Wine Growers lournal. made available by R. de Treville Lawrence Sr., president of the Vinifera Wine Growers Association at The Plains, shows those 5,000-year-old labels reflecting the varying qualities of the contents. Although a great majority of the bottles of "irp" were given no further description, several were qualified as "irp nfr", or "good wine" and others It takes a degree of sophistication to appreciate fully the really good sweeter wines. . .I'm convinced it was planned by someone in the business to have people start on sweet white wine. . .and then become more interested in more sophisticated sweet wines. n Archie Smith Jr. Meredyth Vineyards as "irp nfr nfr" or "very good wine." The word "maa" was used to indicate a "genuine" wine and "ndm" for "sweet”. The poorer selections were labeled "for merry making." Archie Smith Jr. of Meredyth Vineyards, Middleburg, reported this art of wine appreciation is literally an acquired taste. "I don't mean to make this sound like something only for the elite. It's something that naturally happens. Anybody can play the game," says Smith. He suggests people begin drinking wines they enjoy and can already appreciate, and experiment with the more sophisticated varieties. "It takes a degree of sophistication to appreciate fully the really good sweeter wines. People in this country, most of them, drink first the sweet wines.

So what you have is a transition, beginning with sweet apple wine and graduating to the red wines that taste like white wines and then to the classical red wines," he says. According to Smith, wine tasting by its very nature is an act of moderation. "People who are drinking for the taste, for the experience of testing wine, are not drinking for the effect. Most wine makers, like connoisseurs, are moderate drinkers. They would go to pieces in a hurry if they weren't." All wines are judged on their appearance, odor and taste. The foremost requisite of appearance is clarity. Then the tester should look for brilliance, hue and density of color. To evaluate the odor, the tester should sniff forcefully two or three times. The properties to be scrutinized are the aroma, or the characteristic perfume of the grape, and the bouquet, the mixture of scents emitted when the bottle is first opened. To taste, one takes a sip, pulls it to the back of the mouth and rolls it around on the tongue. This has been found to be the most effective way to ascertain the relative sweetness, sourness or acidity and the bitterness, the astringent taste produced by the presence of tannin. Smith explained that the "big" wines should have an intense flavor with lots of oak, a deep color, and a heavy, as opposed to a light of medium, body. "Red wines are typically barrelaged with the taste of oak. In these wines you have tannin. The acid properties are very slight. They contain a group of compounds that come from the skin, the wood it's aged in and the seeds. You look for a balance between the fruity taste, the oaky taste and the acidity. "White wines are the result of fermenting white juice separate from the skins. You let it settle for two days in order to get the solids out. These wines will have a mellower taste. They are fermented slowly under controlled temperatures, more slowly than red wines which become hot due to the pressure of phenols in the skin. This gives a very pronounced flavor, what we call a 'youthful intensity'. When the compounds are combined with each other their properties become much less pronounced," Smith says. The actual serving of wines also has been refined to an art. As a rule, all sparkling wines should be chilled two to three hours before being served. Red table wines are better when thev have reached 60 to 65° Fahrenheit. “They say red wine should be served at the same temperature as an European drawing room in winter, and you have to remember they keep their rooms much cooler than we do," Smith said. Rose should also be served well chilled, as should cocktail and dessert wines. Cocktail sherries and vermouth taste best on the rocks. "White wines," Smith continued, "should be left out half an hour before serving. Some will disagree, but I think it is important to let the wine breathe. In the bottle the oxygen and carbon dioxide are dissolved, plus while it is in storage, volatile compounds build up which are released into the atmosphere once the bottle is opened, and this improves the flavor. Some bottles of wine, especially the heavy red wines, can breathe up to 12 hours." To open a bottle, the best ap(Continued on Page 20) Cater/ng for a// occasions (703) 437-8623

Sparkling wines should be held at a 45-degree angle, the wire hood untwisted and removed, the cork grasped firmly with the thumb and forefinger, the bottle turned slowly in one direction, and the pressure inside being allowed to help force the cork out of the neck. "You should have the lightest wines first, such as a Bordeaux white, and the heaviest last. These would be the Burgundy whites. The more robust wines would be chablis, chablis Poullly-Fuisse and Macon," Smith explained. "Bordeaux reds are lighter than Burgundies. Therefore you would serve them first and then the Burgundy. You should also serve dry be tore sweet, getting sweeter and sweeter as you go along." Suggested before-dinner wines include chablis, rose, Burgundy, Pennacles Selection Fume Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Chardonnay. Traditional cocktail wines are pale dry sherry, cocktail sherry, dry or sweet vermouth and champagne. Brandy may be served in Manhattans, sours or gimlets or be mixed with lemon and lime juice and tonic or quinine water. Chablis and chenin blanc are good with creme de cassis while champagne can be successfully They (Egyptians) dined while seated using the simplest and most healthful food and only as much wine as would be sufficient to promote good cheer. mixed with orange juice. In turn, sugar cubes, bitters or a twist of lemon can be added to the champagne itself. Madeira, referred to as "the wine of America" since colonial times, was rumored to have been George Washington's favorite beverage. Stored in small oak casks, its flavor was improved on the long journey to this country by the drastic changes in climate it underwent in the process. With the addition of lemon or orange juice, this is a good before-dinner drink. The taste of all these wines is enhanced when it is accompanied by bread, cheese, fruit and pate. "During the meal," Smith recommends, "white wines are good with fish and poultry, but rose can be served with turkey, ham or curry and highly seasoned dishes. Beef, lamb and game are good with red wine. Some white wines go well with fowl. Red wine that is heavy in body and intense in concentrated flavors and has a deep color is good with highly seasoned foods too. Red wines vary, remember, from light to medium to heavy." Research also reveals that fish and poultry do best with the driest of the white wines and that the fuller wines such as Rhine or Riesling are preferred’for veal or ham. Emerald Dry complements the spiciness of Mexican and Chinese dishes. Red meat, game, Italian dishes and stews go with red wine, and rose is suggested for any entree because of its light fruity taste. Champagne is good not only with appetizers and as an after-dinner drink. It may be served during the meal as well with all but the heartiest entrees. For after dinner there are the dessert or entertainment wines such as the sherries, ports or Madeira. Robust cheeses such as Bel Paese, Brie, sharp Cheddar, Camembert and Stilton are appropriate accompaniments. Typical sherries would be those which are sweet and rich such as Golden and Rare Cream. The ports would include Rare Souzzao and Rich Ruby, which taste best with cheese, nuts and simple cakes. Of interest is the fact that, with the exception of fortified wines such as sherry or port, these dessert wines have been infected with Botrytis cinerea, a mold which has rendered them rotten. In France this is referred to as pourriture noble or the noble rot. The condition, known in Germany as Edelfaule, forms on the grapes in the later stages of development under certain levels of warmth and humidity. But regardless of when or what kind of wine is consumed, there is the need for temperance. This was a lesson, as shown in the Vinifera Wine Growers Journal, that even those earliest civilizations had learned. Athenaeus, author of "Deipnosophistae", quoted Apollonius as saying, "Among Egyptians of ancient times, any kind of symposium was conducted with moderation. . .They dined while seated using the simplest and most healthful food and only as much wine as would be sufficient to promote good cheer."
