A plea agreement was presented to Judge William Shore Robertson, and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke asked that the agreement be adopted because Pyne had come forward and made a complete statement after the crimes. “This experience has taught me a lot,” said Pyne, who is currently serving a jail sentence in Culpeper County. Judge Robertson adopted the agreement that sentenced Pyne to five years in prson on each of the three felony charges to run consecutively. All of the sentence was suspended. Pyne also was sentenced to 12 months in jail for each of the three misdemeanor charges to run consecutively, and all but 55 days of that sentence was suspended. Pyne will be placed on supervised probation for five years upon his release. The conditions of the agreement were that Pyne pay restitution and his court costs, undergo blood and alcohol analysis testing and have out-patient substance abuse counselling. • Magistrates Appointed Magistrates lor Kappanannock County were appointed on April 1 by the chief circuit court judge to serve for four years. Fran Eldred, a magistrate since 1977, was also named the 20th district chief magistrate and will supervise all magistrates in Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun counties. The other Rappahannock magistrate, Dieter Knuepfer, was appointed for the first time. Magistrates are trained to issue search warrants, arrest warrants, subpoenas and summonses. They also allow bail or commit people to jail and perform various other duties such as providing information on the judicial system. Magistrates are not connected with law enforcement. They serve as a buffer between law enforcement and society. FRAN ELDRED Honored Runners Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp LISA CURRIE AND FRANK REYNOLDS captured Eva L.

Kindergarten Registration Registration for children eligible to enter kindergarten in the fall of 1986 will be held in the office of Rappahannock County Elementary School on Thursday, May 9 and Friday, May 10, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. by appointment from the school. This may be arranged by calling the school at 987-8259. All children must be accompanied by an adult. The following statements taken from Virginia School Laws 22.1-254 and 22.1-256, outline compulsory school age requirements. If your child is: five years old by September 30, you may enroll your child, or you must notify the school that you will wait a year; five years old after September 30, you may wait a year to enroll your child, and if you choose to wait, you are not required to notify your school; six years old by September 30, you must enroll your child in school. The child’s official birth certificate issued by the appropriate state health department should be available at registration. A hospital certificate is not acceptable. In addition, forms entitled “Physical Examination and Health Record” are available at the school. These should be picked up in advance if one has not been received in the mail and taken to the doctor to be filled in at the time of the child’s pre-school physical examination. Both of these records must be on file before the child enters school. Virginia State Law states that children may enter school if they are five on or before December 31. Members of the General Assembly realized that parents would have questions about the advisability of their children entering kindergarten as soon as they are eligible or of delaying school entrance a year. They passed a law which requires schools to provide counseling for parents whose children have their fifth birthday after September 30 and on or before December 31. This counseling will be provided during the tw'o screening days or, if this is not convenient, at other times, by appointment. In order that proper planning may be done, it is essential that all kindergarten children be registered on May 9 and May 10. At this time screening of the students as required by State law will be done. Hopes Are High In Sperry ville By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Don’t look now but the Town of Sperryville is about to be reborn. Of course nobody in Sperryville will say that; they are too wise, too cautious, they are waiting in the wings, so to speak. Huh? What are they waiting for? The future? Sort of. More specifically they’re waiting to see what hard work and cooperation will bring to Sperryville. Many entrepreneurs in the area are taking an interest in the future of the whole town rather than just the progress of their own business. The idea, of course, is that what’s good for Sperryville is and will be good for businesses. So measures have been taken to promote the town and to prepare for its future. Toward that end entrepreneurs recently revived the Sperryville Business Council, of which James Swindler II, co-owner and manager of Country Manor on Route 211, is president. In an interview, Swindler said the council was off to a good start. He is encouraged by the fact that businesses are working together. After all, “We’re competing against each other but we’re working together to bring more people out (to Sperryville) so all will benefit.” The backbone of Sperryville is tourism, and so one of the council’s main goals is to attract visitors. “We want to project an image that will make people want to come out and spend a day or a couple of hours in Sperryville,” Swindler said. “We want to promote Sperryville as a quiet, interesting town where they’re are lots of little shops. ” Another of the council’s goals is to attract more people during the winter season. “Sperryville is a very busy place eight to nine months out of the year,” Swindler said. “The other three are slow.” The prospect of a sewage treat ment plant in Sperryville bolsters feelings that the town is on the upswing. Those interviewed generally agreed that the sewage plant, due for completion in about two years, has already boosted property values and spurred business expansion. The town’s commitment to build the plant has lifted a severe restraint to development. Sewage needs to go somewhere, and in Sperryville it has traditionally gone into the Thornton River. But disposal into that river is now illegal. So without a plant a business is very limited in what it can do with its sewage. “The sewage system is a boon for (Continued on Page 1 8 Planners Advise Approval Of Kvarnes’ Request The planning commission during its regular meeting April 17 recommended approval of an application for a building permit submitted by Eric Kvarnes. Kvamea, who lives in Gid Brown Hollow and traditionally has operated his glassblowing business there, recently purchased property on Route 211, one mile west of Sperryville. He is in the process of transferring his business to the new site, formerly Charles K. Estes’junkyard. In a letter to building inspector Emiel Smet, Kvarnes states that he wants a “building permit to close in a building on his property in Sperryville.” His intention is to “create a crafts village for the use of craftspeople as studio space” and he would eventually open the area to the public on weekends. Kvarnes writes that his plan will benefit everyone involved. “It will provide income for me, workspace for craftspeople....and it will tie down an industrial zone that could have been utilized by all kinds of unpleasant businesses.” Also, “it will provide an area that will draw businesses into the Sperryville area as well as the rest of the county.” Kvarnes requests a 9-month deferral of the development plan, which zoning laws require be submitted to the BZA before a permit can be issued. The basi? for the request is to allow a husband and wife pottery team, who “desperately” need work space, to begin building now so they won’t locate another space. The two potters have agreed to remodel a buildup, on the property in exchange for a three year lease. Kvames will do the development plan himself because he is “down to a half a shoestring financially” and therefore will need the extra nine months to “hatch a superior plan. ” The property will not be open to the public until the fall of 1986, with the exception of the sales building, which was approved by the BZA in November of 1984. The planners forwarded to the BZA their recommendation for approval of the building request. In other business, the planners: • Agreed to have the Planning District Nine Commission (PD9) review the county’s comprehensive plan. Then the planners will review PD9’s suggestions for the updating of the plan. • Agreed to put in writing all recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. • Denied the variance request of Merrill and Merillee Poe of Amissville to build an addition onto their home because they couldn’t meet a 50-foot set back requirement. Oliver Will Attend Governor’s School William Oliver VI, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Oliver V of Woodville, has been selected to represent Rappahannock County High School at the 1985 Governor’s School for the Gifted to be held this summer.

The virus was formulated by the U.S. Forest Service and has been tested on moderate and high-level populations in New England. The formulation will be applied by helicopter tentatively on April 26. The virus has been approved and registered for use against gypsy moth by the Environmental Protection Agency. The test area will be 150 acres which is being invaded by the gypsy moth. The first application will be on three 50-acre plots, followed by a second application seven days later. The purpose of the test is to determine whether an early application of the virus will control the gypsy moth for a period of several years. The results will provide state agencies and researchers with additional information on the effectiveness of the virus. The test plots will be evaluated later this year, and for the next two years, to determine to what extent the virus is continuing to exert control over the population. A series of similar tests will be conducted in Maryland concurrently with the test planned for Virginia. t &appaf)annock i)etos Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U S. per year $10.00 Outside the U S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclosed NAME____ ADDRESS__ CITYi___ STATE__7ZIP__ Second class postage "paid at the Post Office at Warrenton, Va.

How To Run A Farmer’s Market Why Customers Come To Farmers’ Markets “Sixty percent or more of consumers shop at farmers’ markets for better quality and/or lower prices,” said Donald P. Lacy, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in community resource development. “Fresh produce is the major advantage of farmers’ markets,” he said. “In a really good market, many of the farmers will harvest the produce in the morning or just the day prior to bringing it to market.” In a study by Virginia Tech Extension specialists, about 14 percent of the farmers’ markets customers said they shopped there for lower price. Price at such a market, however, is often affected by other factors. For example, if the market is located near retail grocery stores, the farmers may set their price in the same range as the groceries. But farmed hthrttet i&ust6ftie«"often ar£ seeking other aspects that only the farmers’,market can provide. Once the customers get to know the farmers and the produce, they make special requests such as asking for a large quantity of the produce on a day they want to do preserving. It is often this kind of friendly atmosphere that makes the farmers’ market a popular place to shop, said Lacy, who is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Consumers And The Farmers’ Market It is the old-time atmosphere of the farmers’ markets that attracts customers and because of that atmosphere, dickering about prices is accepted and expected at some farmers’ markets. Jeffrey Gaffne, Virginia Cooperative Extension agent in Fairfax, said farmers who are selling their produce directly to the consumer are often willing to let the prices fluctuate with the demand. Often they will dicker with the customer, especially if the individual is a regular customer who has been coming back. The agent also suggested that sometimes fanners would rather not take produce back home, and so there may be bargains at the end of the day. “Of course, there is just the same chance that there will not be any produce left,” Gaffney said. Public Relations Vital Promotion is a vital part of direct marketing, said James B. Bell, Virginia Tech Extension agricultural economist, giving advice to farmers planning to use this method of selling their products. “Many growers started in direct marketing by just putting some of their crop on a table out in front of the farm,” said the specialist. But this selling directly,to th# consumer can develop into a major direct marketing business when the farmery use promotional techniques like advertising. Bell described activities used to promote sales directly to consumers. Some successful operations send out a newsletter to those customers who registered at their outlets. Newsletters contain information on the dates of the markets and the growing conditions. “They make it very personal,” Bell said. “They want to make the customer feel like part of a family.” Plan Marketing Efforts Every successful business that has a product to sell needs a marketing plan. Farmers’ markets are no exception, if the farmers want to sell their perishable products at a fair price. What attracts customers to the farmers’ markets is that they expect to get fresh, high quality produce. They also expect that it has been grown near-by, and not transported long distances. Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley AREA CATTLE RAISERS were in attendance Saturday at Eldon Farms for the Herd Health Program to learn about vaccinating, worming and castrating calves. “Farmers selling directly to consumers at such markets should be giving their customers just what they want,” said James B. Bell, Virginia Tech Extension agricultural economist. If they use marketing techniques such as learning who the customers are and matching what they are selling to the customers, they can increase business. For example, if they are offering a local specialty, such as Hanover toma(Continued on Page 1 8) Emergency Log Fire And Rescue According to the log, the following calls were routed through the dispatch center in the past week: April 16: 8:38 p.m., possible heart attack, Rt. 730, Amissville Fire Department.

This year, the Market will open with a “Country Sampler of Olde Tyme Crafts” that will feature over 20 artisans who will exhibit and demonstrate their crafts. The crafts will include glassblowing, quilting, needlework, craft painting, tinsmithing, herbs, woodcarving, stenciling, loom weaving, pottery, jewelry-making, basket weaving, folk art, toy-making, stained glass, soap-making caning of children’s furniture and tile art. One of the exhibitors/demonstrators will be John Zett of Jefferson Designs. The approximately 250 wood products of Jefferson Designs have been sold in the past through other businesses. ‘This will be the first time that we have tried to sell our products ourselves at a show like this,” Zett said. “We want to see what happens, and we plan on continuing to go to craft shows after this.” All of the exhibitors are being required to demonstrate their skills twice a day over the weekend for 30 to 40 minutes. Zett said that he plans to have three people at the booth painting the various products at all times during the “Country Sampler” weekend. The products include checker boards, plaques and wooden figures all hand-painted and some with stenciling. “There are a number of things that we will sell with instructions if the customer wants to paint them,” Zett said. “We’ll probably set up a table so that we can show those people what to do with the things they have bought, and they could actually work on the product and finish it before they leave.” Jefferson Designs operates out of a school house in Jeffersonton where 12 people hand-paint the crafts and 22 people in all are employed. Anne Stewart is the designer. “I know that it would be possible for people to make something like one of our checker boards that even has stenciling on it in a few hours,” Zett said. “As an example, a lady who works for us originally told us that she would maybe be able to learn how to sand, and within six months she was making the checker boards.” Peggy Smith said that there are normally about 25 crafts dealers who rent space in the Market on a regular basis during the season. There are special events, though, when the number of crafts people can double. The Market will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. for the “Country Sampler” opening weekend. The schedule of special events for the rest of the season includes: the First Antique Show of May 18-19; the Town of Sperryville Memorial Day Celebration on May 2526; the First Craft Show on June 22-23; the Summertime Festival on July 1920; the C.G. Sloan and Co., Inc. Professional Appraisal Clinic Benefit on August 18; the Second Antique Show on September 21-22; the Second Craft Festival on October 19-20 and Closing Weekend on October 26-27.

During the month of May, which has been officially designated by the Virginia legislature as the Arts Month, Rappahannock will host a number of arts events, including the traditional public high school musical “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”, an “evening of Modem 'Dance” and young people’s painting exhibit at the Gay St. Theatre and Faith Mountain’s Memorial Day Crafts Fair. Paintings At The Theatre Seven paintings by Doug Ball of Warrenton are currently featured on the walls of the Gay St. Theatre in Washington. The theme of the series is couples dancing or embracing, executed in simple shapes that are clearly defined by line and bright colors. The exception is one contrasting piece where the couple is etched in black on a dark grey surface. These oil painting are a lively, decorative addition to the theatre’s lobby. Doug Ball comes to painting with the eye of an experienced set designer for both theater and film.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, APRIL 25,1985 Sperry ville On The Upswing With the aid of some determined entrepreneurs, the Town of Sperryville is beginning to renew itself. It’s hard to miss the positive signs. Business people in that community recently revived the Sperryville Business Council, which now meets regularly to discuss the town’s future. Why? Because there is widespread belief in Sperryville that growth is on the horizon, and council members want to for see and plan for that growth. Cooperation among businesses will surely result in a sharpening of the town’s image. When they work together, as they are now, more emphasis is placed on Sperryville as a whole. And, after all, it is the whole of Sperryville, more than any particular business, that attracts tourists. All agree that the newr sewr age system, when in place, will spur development. That’s about two years off, so the business council (and all concerned) have plenty of lead time in Which to plan for a minor or major boom. If, as some say, litter is a problem in the town, particularly in the Thornton River, there is an easy solution. On April 13 a clean-up crew dispatched itself to litter-lined Route 622 in Gid Brown Hollow. Within three hours a mountain of garbage had been cleared away. It took six people on a Saturday afternoon to handle most of the problem. That’s not a great expenditure in resources. The same types of clean-up crews could be unleashed in Sperryville. Litter aside, Sperryville is sparkling. Congratulations to the town on its energy and optimism.

In House Essayist Affluence And The Modern Potato By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer While eating out last night I balked at a routine question. After recording my entree the waiter asked, “and which potato would you like: baked, French fries, hash browns, or au gratin?” I paused (this was my mistake) and faded out of consciousness into a dreamy land of numberless potato fields. Here I lounged amid acres of footdeep hash browns. Occasionally I wandered about to marvel at canyons of golden French fries and perilous caverns over whose ledges I peeked and spied thirty-ton heaps of au gratin. There was much more, but a friend nudged me out of the spell, alerting me to the waiter and the choice of potatoes still pending. For once my conscience intervened and so I refused to choose. Now, honestly, isn’t there something excessive about the choice of potatoes offered to me? Surely there is something unduly extravagant, even silly, about a man standing before my table reciting the now famous four potato types: baked, French fries, hash browns, and au gratin. Should we be ashamed? wnat comes to mind is tne more accurate representation of man’s relation to the potato. This truer picture includes those styles of potatoes eaten by the impoverished, the disaffected, and ranges upwards to the world’s lower middle and middle classes. I imagine a Salvadoran rebel boy, squatting in enemy brush, reaching into his pocket for supper. Is he burdened by the dilemma of which potato type to select, whether it will be baked with sour cream or perhaps (his forehead wrinkled in thought) hash browns tonight? No, he eats a whole raw potato, which tastes more like a dirty carrot than anything else. An uncooked, inelegant potato is his plight, with no options offered. Or am I wrong? Is that rebel boy on the run with au gratin lopped in his hands? Perhaps he keeps a ration of Home fries with him at all times. Did you catch that? Yes, I strayed from the famed four: not all potatoes are baked, French-fried, hash-browned, or converted into au gratin. In march Home fries, with a platoon of other such mutated French fries bringing up the ranks: Steak fries, Ranch fries, and American fries. These latter types all are descendants of that thicker French fry, which became utterly fashionable in the early seventies. Note then the quaint little absurdity that not only do many Americans select from various types of potatoes, but furthermore many of them often select from, types of types of potatoes. Consider the French fry phenomenon just mentioned. This type of potato alone is subjected to unrelenting innovation, yielding a seasonal harvest of bold new variations. Among the touted new releases in recent French fry history are 1) the unskinned fry, so well assimilated by the populace after a brief spell of hynienic alarm, 2) the ultra-thick fry, presumptuous in size yet few can resist its charms, and 3) the fried potato skin, an event utterly unforeseen, yet no one now denies that the unskinned fry prefigured it. So radical is its break from any conventionally accepted standard of French fry, that we are compelled to ask ourselves “What is going on here?” Witn tne advent oi tne men potato skin, the skin itself usurps the central position, that of glory, held unchallenged from time immemorial by the potato matter alone. Potato insiders see this latter development for what it is: a brash and calculated move by potato peels to preempt the strategic high ground. Small wonder then, given the myriad of options, that we in America suffer from potato type paralysis. Worse, the future promises only to mire us in a thicker muck of choices. As types of potatoes increase we sink ever deeper into the quandary without so much as hesitating before the critical issue of orientation, that is, of determining a basis on which we can choose. Compare the above dilemma of an average American to that of an Afghani mother. She must decide whether or not to dispatch her children to Pakistan by train in defiance of the Soviet infantry. In her home do potatoes perplex the soul? Well, yes, but her problem concerns not at all the shape of the potatoes (our problem in America), it concerns their existence. Will the children eat potatoes - lumpy and generic of course - or are there none? Consider now the chic wing of the American potato movement. Enter, the stuffed baked potato. This latest innovation arrives courtesy of those entrepreneurial visionaries who helped America to understand what it always wanted: a meal in a potato, not adja cent to it. Whenever I wallow in limbo over which of six stuffings will blanket my baked potato - be it sour cream & chive, bacon & cheese,, broccoli & cheese, chicken Kiev, beef burgundy, or seafood delight - I recall the plight of the Afghani mother. The resulting shame is a sure remedy for indecision. Instantly I choose the first and simplest potato that comes to mind: baked with butter, and 1 try to forget that an exotic array of options awaits to tantalize just for the asking. Let me state the matter plainly. The rest of the world is eating big, dumb boiled potatoes while we, the few, present to our palates potatoes with color and presence. Within our American borders, potatoes require design and construction; step beyond those borders and, as if by magic, potatoes require mere fire and water. To reflect on this obvious imbalance in contemporary potato consumption is to invite selfrecrimination. Therefore, I bolt from consciousness just to unburden myself. Then return with me to numbness, to my dreamland where potatoes and their numerous forms are numberless. Feel us fading....but first! before I forget. Is there no wrap-up, no moral? What does all of this mean? 1 will summon up from my reserves the strength for a concluding remark. My tale is one told by an idiot full of grease and cheese signifying very little. Then again, allow me to venture that the readily available variations of potatoes in a given society serve well as an indicator of that society’s well-being. Oh but I hear you out there; you are demanding a public mashing of me, so ludicrous is my claim. And you may be right. After all, I am the one who does swan dives off clouds of hash browns, swooshes past French fry filled canyons, and plummets safely into fluffy hills of au gratin. I admit that I ought to have my spuds examined. Then I will say nothing more, except this (and it is all I ever intended to say): If, from time to time, you are asked to select from the famed four — baked, French fries, hash browns, and au gratin - perhaps you should not complain much about your loathsome life. “Potato sir! for the last time, which potato would you like?” “Er, aahhhmm....oh, excuse me waiter. Just give me a potato, any old potato-how about a white One with some butter?” Letters To The Editor pniRwr I'lii' K;i j|>| i;i I util i H nk N'.'U - i11\ Ur- letter:- tn till' • 111’ • ■ i■ truni reader:-.

That is, that the time has come to consider going back to the time-honored practice of nominating their candidates for statewide office by primary elections. That practice was abandoned in 1977 after former Lt. Gov. Henry Howell’s upset victory over former Attorney General Andrew Miller in that year’s race for the gubernatorial nomination. Since then, the party has relied on the convention method of naming statewide candidates. It is one of only four states to do so. The use of conventions, in theory at least, appeared to be a vast improvement over the primary system. It was said to be less divisive, less expensive, of little cost to the taxpayers, and it gave party leaders and activists an opportunity to do their thing when the delegates assembled for the big conclaves. , weu, tms year me democratic delegates are assembling June 7-8 at the Richmond Coliseum, and barring some unexpected outbreak of peace, the struggle for the gubernatorial nod between Lt. Gov. Dick Davis and Attorney General Gerald Baliles promises to be every bit as vicious and party shredding as any of the classic primary battles of the past. Indeed, some veteran observers say it is as bitter as any primary donneybrook ever was. Now, to be sure, the fact that the nomination is being made by convention is not the sole reason for all the unhappiness. The contest between Davis and Baliles would be a rough and tumble affair in any case. But the mechanics of the convention process do nothing to simplify or mollify the nominating procedure. In fact, they vastly complicate and aggravate that procedure with volumes of rules, edicts, do’s, don’ts, ad hoc instructions put out by the party headquarters, and, in all too many cases, reversals of those instructions. I he nominating process begins with what used to be called “mass meetings” in each of the states 136 counties and cities. However, in many areas harboring hundreds of thousands of voters only a few hundred — or sometimes a few dozen — turned out at these meetings. In recognition of the fact that the turnouts have not been exactly as massive as the name of the meetings implied, their name was recently changed officially in the Democratic Party to “caucuses.” (The GOP continues to call them mass meetings). At these gatherings the delegates and alternates are elected who eventually go to the state nominating convention. But the meetings are run by local party officials and workers. The temptation is great to overenforce, underenforce or generally interpret the rules governing the meetings in ways which would benefit the candidates favored by the officials. But beyond any intentional skulduggery, the rules are so complicated that errors are easily made. Even the most well intentioned party officers could fall easily into procedural traps which might make the results of their caucuses subject to challenge. In the caucuses held on March 30 and April 1 to choose delegates for Baliles and Davis, 3,500 delegates were elected. Baliles emerged with about 88 more than Davis. Davis is chal lenging the caucus resulted in 18 localities with 411 Baliles delegates at stake. If he can prevent a few more than a quarter of those challenged from being seated and successfully woo a majority of the uncommitteds and so-called superdelegates — elected Democratic officials with automatic delegate rank, it should appear that he would be in a position to win the nomination. Baliles, however, contends that the Credentials Committee which is hearing the challenges was illegally constituted and is therefore incompetent to act on them. I he whole issue will be taken up by the Democratic State Central Committee later this month’. ' Baliles, meanwhile is reportedly prepared to go to court if the Central Committee upholds enough of the challenges to place his nomination in danger. The entire affair, of course, is far more complicated than this, and both Baliles and Davis have dug in their heels, vowing to fight all the way to the convention floor. In spite of frequent words of conciliation, grimly spoken, the animosity between the two camps is seething. The prospects of a post-convention unification in time to face the GOP common foe appears to be a dim and distant hope. None of this is to say that if a primary had been held there would have been a live feast between the two contenders. Far from it. It would have been a bitter and expensive struggle. But the issues being fought over, one would hope, would have been issues of public policy, and not questions about whether or not some county chairman someplace closed the door to his caucus ai me appoiniea time. And then, too, the number of Virginians participating in the process would have numbered in the millions, not thousands. Of course there would be problems. There is always the possibility that crossover voters from the GOP might poison the primary well. The process of getting elected would be more expensive. The tab for running the primaries would have to be picked up by the taxpayers. But these would be run by election officials who would be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth, and not by the sometimes inexpert opinion of. party functionaries. Neither nominating method is perfect, or anything close to it. But in the light of what we have seen this year, it is at least arguable that the interests of the Democratic Party would be best served by going back to the primary. But beyond all that, after the fiasco of the 1985 caucus season, most Democratic workers are bone weary. They are sick of cantankerous caucus challenges, with seeing how many delegates can dance on the head of a legal technicality, and with the anticipation of the wondrous array of convention confusions which are yet to unfold. They have had it, to quote a great American political philosopher, up to their kiesters. And for these party workers in the trenches, going back to the primary looks better every day.

Journalism According To Platt Journalist Of Over 40 Years Talks About His Career And The Profession Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley CHARLES AND HELEN Platt are enjoying a Rappahannock retirement together. By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Charles Platt did not always want to be a journalist. He originally went to Kansas State in 1934 with the intention of becoming a chemical engineer. “After I had finished about a third of the degree requirements, I decided that chemical engineering was not for me,” Platt said. He then switched his major to journalism, and by going to summer school he still graduated in 1938. Platt’s journalistic career actually began before he graduated. He edited the school paper and was the assistant editor of the local morning daily paper, the Manhattan Chronicle, through his senior year. “I worked from seven in the evenings until midnight or two in the mornings six nights a week while I was going to school,” Platt said. Platt’s first job after graduation was as church editor with the St. Joel Missouri Gazette. After two months, he went on the livestock beat, but after a few months more he went back to Manhattan to become the managing editor of the Chronicle. Diming his two years as managing editor, Platt married his wife, Helen, and she earned her master’s degree in home economics. “In the fall of 1940, she was offered a job teaching at Kansas State, and she supported me for a year while I got my masters in economics,” Platt said. His varied career continued after he graduated in 1941 with his masters degree. He taught journalism at Kansas State for a year, then went to work for a private company editing the plant’s paper in Radford, Va. for a few months. Platt moved to Washington, D.C. in August of 1942 to work as an information specialist for the Office of Defense Transportation. “It was a time when every newsman in the country was trying to get to war-time Washington,” Platt said. In a little over a year, though, Platt left Washington and the country when he entered the Marines as a Marine combat correspondent. He served in the Pacific until the tropical climate caused him to receive a medical discharge in August of 1945. After his discharge, he found his last job when he was hired by U.S. News & World Report. “I just came back to Washington and applied for a job,” Platt said. “I had good fortune since I applied just when everything was opening up and there were still millions of guys overseas.” Platt said that at the time publications were prevented from expanding due to the lack of paper during the war. “U.S: News knew that it was on the point of expanding so it took on four to five writers in one month, and I was one of them,” Platt said. Platt started by writing general assignments on a wide variety of topics with an emphasis on business and finance. “I went back to school nights studying economics and finance, and I finished most of the work for a Ph. D. although I never did the thesis work necessary,” Platt said. All of the studying paid off when Platt was named senior finance editor. Platt remained in that post until his re Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Alert The season for ticks seeking a blood meal ushers in the risk of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. It is of particular importance that newcomers to the Piedmont area of Virginia and the Carolinas become aware of this infectious disease known as “tick fever”. Between one to three percent of the common dog tick in this area may carry the cimrobe that causes the disease. During the past 10 years the incidence of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in the district has ranged as high as 12 cases and as low as one case. Many cases are treated as outpatients and do not get reported. The symptoms of the disease are similar to other common diseases and generally begin three to 12 days following an exposure to an infected tick. In some instances, there is no recollection of a tick bite. Symptoms include a high fever, severe headache, muscular aching and eye irritation when exposed to light. By the second day the fever usually increases and remains high. From two to six days after the onset of fever, a rash is usually noted, first on the arms and legs, (including palms of hands and soles of feet.) Sometimes no rash is present. Before it can transmit infection, an infected tick must be attached to the skin for two to six hours, or a squeezed tick may contaminate a person’s fingers and transmission occur indirectly, such as from rubbing eyes or scratching. Awareness and personal protective measures will prevent most cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Since ticks will explore the body before attaching to the skin, there is usually time to remove them before infection is transmitted. Inspect for ticks on the body twice a day. Ticks should be removed slowly with tweezers or by grasping near the head, or pulled off by grasping with fingers, using facial tissue. Rapid removal is more likely to result in breaking off the mouth parts of the tick. The tick population around the house and in the yard can be reduced by keeping the grass cut. Control of ticks on dogs will also prevent ticks from being carried into the house. Early treatment of this infection is essential to prevent fatalities. The death rate for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is about 20 percent for untreated cases. If there is any possibility of the onset of tick fever, see a physician without delay. Treatment with appropriate medication is effective in curing most cases. No vaccine for this disease is currently available. tire, ent in 1979. The Platts had bought a weekend house in Rappahannock in 1968. “We came for a visit after I retired and decided that we didn’t want to go back,” Platt said. Their home was in McLean, Va. The house was originally an A frame that the Platts have kept and added on to. There is now a wellequipped kitchen with sliding doors that allow a view of the mountains and the bird feeders in the yard. The Platts also built on a large, airy living area where the pond can be seen through a picture window. The house has one bedroom, but work on another bedroom has been started so that their children and grand-children can visit comfortably. With fish in the pond, birds to watch and feed and 16 acres to take care of, Platt has had a busy retirement. In addition, Platt still writes a tax information column for U.S. News that is a listing of straight court rulings that have an impact on taxes. Platt is not the kind, though, who has a hard time retiring and would be content if he no longer had the tax column to write anymore. “I regret nothing about retiring,” Platt said. “In fact, I retired a year early, and I wish I had done it even sooner.” After more than 40 years in the journalistic profession in some form or another, it is not surprising that Platt would be ready to relax and not worry about deadlines. It is also not surprising that Platt knows the profession as well as he does. “News people need minds like garbage cans because every experience or bit of information could turn up to be useful someday,” Platt said. “A journalist needs to have broad interests and in fact be interested in everything.” Platt does not understand people who say they are bored because there are so many things to be interested in and to do. Although working in journalism opens up a wide range of interests, it also limits the journalist in some ways. “I used to write poetry in college, but I couldn’t anymore except for doggerel,” Platt said. “After you’ve been in journalism for a while, the creative writing part dries up.” During his years as a reporter and finance editor, Platt saw many changes in journalism. “The biggest change came with television,” Platt said. ‘Television changed the economics and the face of print journalism.” The major change caused by TV has been the emphasis on “soft” news in print media. “There are more and more news features, explanatory features and recorded interviews instead of just hard news accounts,” Platt said. “All of it helps the reader’s understanding, but it can be carried too far.” Franklin B. Reynolds, Jr. Wishes To Announce That He Is now Engaged In The General Practice of law With Offices In The RAPPAHANNOCK NATIONAL BANK BUILDING Post office box 355, Washington, Virginia 22747 Telephone (703) 675-3239 Space in a newspaper or magazine now is determined by what is perceived as the readers’ interest in the subject. “As a newsman, I rate the significance of an article as equal to or more important than the interest,” Platt said. “In my day, the significance was what was important.” Besides his knowledge of journalism, Platt knows about journalists, and how the public’s conceptions of the group are wrong in many instances. To the charges that journalists are arrogant and cynical about everything, Platt allows that reporters seem arrogant at times, but that cynicism is not the right word to describe a reporter’s attitude. “A journalist can’t believe everything he or she is told, but there is a difference between being skeptical and cynical,” Platt said. “If the reporter isn’t skeptical about everything he is told, then he becomes simply a secretary taking down what the person wants to say and that’s not a news person.” Piatt said that most of the journalists he has known have been gentle, kind people. “As financial editor, I had to interview bankers and others at financial conventions during the recep tions,” Platt said. “I had to walk up to people who were talking to their friends and break in, and that was the hardest part of the job for me. ” Platt is not sorry to have left that job behind him, and he now spends his time cooking, fishing, feeding birds, reading and working in the yard. “You can always find something to do, and at our age you have to keep moving,” Platt said.

It wasn’t such an ideal morning to be racing with the high temperatures and thick humidity, but the diligent runners kept going. The crowd watched with admiration. .ATTENTION: Tomorrow night (Friday, the 26th)-at the high school gym (8 p.m.)-is the big, variety show, “R.C.H.S. on Review”! There will be two professional guitarists-singers from Fairfax, our very own talented teens, and even a few of your favorite teachers performing on stage!! So if you want to have a great time, bring your claps and cheers, wear something comfortable, and support your high school youngsters!! This show is being sponsored by the R.C.H.r Booster Club with Ms. Hewitt and her jumping cheerleaders. Cost is $2.50 per person and $1.50 for students and children. COME ONE, COME ALL!!!! Your correspondent was at the Fodderstack too, only she was there to observe the event, eat, shop and walk very slowly. She and her husband, Richard Schoppet, brought along their most adored houseguest, C. Jane Connell, who hails from Camarillo, California. They all had a wonderful three day visit, starting with dinner at The Inn at Little Washington, and a trip down Skyline Drive to Charlottesville. Jane fell in love with the dogwood trees, the deer, and of course “The Inn”. Remember those words by James Francis Byrnes—“Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life. ” Late “Happy, Happy Birthday” to Frank Donald, who celebrated last Sunday with his loving wife, Doris and his daughter, Margaret, her husband, Steve and their baby, Sara from Colesville, Maryland. We have a special treat this week—Mrs. Doris Donald has prepared a H> NANCY SCHOITKT writing of their recent trip to Georgia, which she says: On April 13 the class of 1935 of Pleasant Grove School in Dalton, of which Doris was a member, celebrated the 50th anniversary of their graduation with a banquet at Pleasant Grove Methodist Church, which was attended by class members still living and their spouses. This was a delighful affair with beautifully decorated tables, lovely food, flowers for everyone, door prizes and a great deal of reminiscing. Doris claims all she did was write letters and make a few phone calls; the class members, of whom only one besides Doris isn’t still in Dalton, did all the rest. A good time was had by all, to the extent that they voted to get together again each year as long as there are those who are able to travel. On Sunday, Doris and Frank went to Gainesville to visit Doris’ sister who resides in a nursing home. On Tuesday the class reunion celebration resumed with a lovely luncheon at Town and Country Restaurant. This event was attended by the favorite teacher of the class who lives at Miami Beach and was unable to be present for the banquet on Saturday. The luncheon was another lovely affair with plenty of warm fellowship. The local paper sent a photographer who took pictures to be used in the paper. Doris says this is the most exciting experience she has ever ,« had. She was class president and vale-* dictorian. There was a lot of hugging, kissing and some teas and everyone was happy to be together again.

Day hbactow COMPETING AGAINST NEW HOMES If you are considering selling your older home but are worried about competition from new homes, here’s something to think about. Generally speaking, whether buyers choose to loojc at new or resale homes, there are tradeoffs in both directions. Older homes usually offer more living space for the dollar and are usually built on larger lots. Because developable land was more plentiful in earlier years, builders also had a greater choice of where to build. Therefore, the location of a resale home may be more desirable. Also, there is no guesswork in action. Landscaping has matured, neighborhoods have formed and a buyer doesn’t have to be concerned about how the area will develop. It already has. On the other side, new homes may be more energy-efficient and require less repair and maintenance. How does your older home stack up against new home offerings? Your best bet would be to have an experienced residential agent provide you with a current estimate of its market value. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN m’ DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House Washington, VA. 22747. Phone: 6753400. We’re here to help.

Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley " STEVE SCOGGINS REARRANGES some flowers at the plant sale on Fodderstack Day. Wakefield Students Share European Experiences ByJUSEFH1NE ROOD & ANN WAESCHE Wakefield Students On Monday, April 1, a group of Wakefield students, accompanied by Headmaster William E. Lynn, Mrs. Pamela Lynn and Mrs. Patricia Tucker, left BWI Airport en route to Europe. An intermediate stop was made in Iceland before the group arrived in Luxembourg for a brief visit. The group toured a section of the lb-mile labyrinth of underground defense tunnels and browsed in the picturesque old town. They then boarded a bus for Strasbourg, France, the great cathedral city in the province of Alsace. On Wednesday, the group toured Strasbourg and viewed the majestic Strasbourg Cathedral. During their free time, many students climbed the 365 steps to the top of the cathedral. In the afternoon, they went to the Cha teau du Haut-Koenigsbourg, a feudal castle restored by Kaiser Wilhelm II. The panoramic view from the defense tower provided an impressive view of Alsace and the opportunity for the photographers in the group to use film. The night was spent in St. Hippolyte, a quaint town at the base of the mountain near the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle. On Thursday, the group drove to Riquewihr, a beautifully preserved 16th century village devoted to wine making, and continued to Lucerne, Switzerland which is located in the Swiss Alps at the base of the towering Mt. Pilatus. There they visited the Lion Monument and viewed the many picturesque, hand-painted houses. The next morning, the group then , took afehalf-day excursion tq.the peak of the 7,600 foot Mt. Pilatus. While at tne top, a* snowball fight erupted and fffe® students learned how skilled Dr. Lynn GLASS.BARN a Q&t,n.D. nw»i* :r*w:-*k - .1 h& r m *ts, Wlr»dMMt«c mm4 St L ~ ___ ESI -SM-44M 1986 MAZDA B2000 SE-5.

According to Susan Wiley, Marketing Specialist for the Virginia D' rtment of Agriculture and Consume. _ rvices, hog prices are down, because there are so many hogs going to market. When supplies are up, farmers don’t get a very good price for their hogs, but consumer pork prices are excellent. Unfortunately, what’s good for the consumer, is not good for the farmer. From early April until the first of June, food shoppers should see pork being featured quite heavily. As the cookout season gears up in June, prices are expected to rise slightly as the demand for grilling cuts of pork increases. Hogs are more than just pork chops. Look to cuts from the shoulder including the Boston butt and picnic roasts, as well as shoulder blade steaks, all of which are economical and very versatile cuts. The Boston butt roast is available with or without the bone and is outstanding for shredded barbecue. The fresh shoulder picnic is delicious roasted slowly and served with a fruit glaze. For the family that doesn’t want leftovers because of limited freezer space, look for individual packages of shoulder blade steaks. These are simply a whole Boston butt which weighs five to eight pounds sliced into steaks. Use blade steaks to cook on the grill or cube the meat and skewer for kabobs or fondue. These steaks can also be was with a snowball! Upon returning to Lucerne, many students rented motorboats to see Lake Lucerne or went to “McCheaper” - Lucerne’s answer to McDonald’s. The following day, the tour continued to Salzburg, Austria with a stop in Einsiedeln to see the baroque cathedral and another pause for lunch in Liechtenstein, the small principality of 22,000 subjects. On Easter Sunday, the group attended a musical mass at Salzburg’s baroque cathedral and then visited Hohensalzburg, a medieval fortress overlooking the city. The majority of students agree that the afternoon’s excursion to the Salzbourg Salt Mines was the highlight of the trip. The group donned the traditional costume of a salt-miner, comt pleta with leather pad to protect one’s, i reacJ They were told that the purpose of tne costume was to make the visit more fun. A small train carried the group through a narrow tunnel at the end of which the purpose of the leather pads became apparent. The group found they had to slide down two very long wooden slides that were used originally by salt miners to get quickly from one level to another. The adventure continued as the group crossed a large underground brine lake in a cable-drawn boat. Students found that if they rubbed their fingers across the multi-colored rocks, they were able to lick them and taste the salt. The excursion concluded with a roller-coaster ride through a long and winding passageway. On Monday, the tour visited Schloss Hellbrunn, a 17th century castle famous for its trick fountains which drenched many of the students. Tuesday, the group continued to Rothenburg, a charming German village dating from the Middle Ages. They also toured nearby Heidelberg, the ancient university town of rose-colored Wayside Theatre Sets 1985 Shows Wayside Theatre will open its summer season with Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park on June 5. It will be followed by the June 19 opening of The Innocents — a play based on Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw, a scary story of the possession of two young and beautiful children and their governess’ battle with the spirit world. The week of July 4, Wayside will present Mark Twain, Himself. The show, which has toured the state for the last five years and is performed by producing director Ed Steele, will introduce new material. The summer musical, opening July 10, will be A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, a Stephen Sondheim story of wack slaves, several lechers and a Roman centurion and his army. July 24 brings Tribute, a comedy about a father and son who discover each other and parts of themselves. Crimes of the Heart, which opens Aug. 7, is a Pultizer Prize-winning play by Beth Henley, and shows how funny attempted murder can be. The season ends with Noel Coward’s Private Lives.

No matter how you decide to cook these thrifty cuts of pork, be sure you cook them right. It is downright sinful to overcook pork, because you rob it of flavor and juiciness. Pork is 100% safe to eat when you cook it to, but no more than an internal temperature of 170 degrees F. Here’s a delicious dish to add to your collection of pork recipes. Originally, this recipe was developed using chicken and was served to Napoleon after he fasted through his battle at Marengo. He loved it so that he demanded his chef to prepare it after every battle. Cubes of boneless pork are simmered in an herbed tomato sauce to yield an updated version of Napoleon’s favorite victory dinner. Pork Marengo 2 lbs. boneless pork shoulder, cut in 1inch cubes 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 lb. mushrooms, sliced 1 large onion, sliced 1 can (16 oz.) tomatoes 1/2 cup dry white wine 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon thyme 1 teaspoon basil 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper In large skillet, brown pork in hot oil. Set aside. Saute mushrooms and onion in pan drippings until tender. stone, and stopped at the castle overlooking the Neckar River. The students enjoyed their night in the elegant hotel that used door cards rather than keys. The next day included a cruise down the most scenic section of the Rhine River to St. Joan, passing many castles and vineyards at well as the legendary Lorelai. That evening, many of the students visited the student inns or the local discos. On the last day of the trip, the group drove through Germany, across the Moselle River into Luxembourg where they visited the cemetary where General George Patton is buried.

Far Away Lands Brought Closer To Rappahannock By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer Stepping into the home of Paul and Cucie (pronounced cookie) Baldwin is like entering a museum filled with artifacts from all over the world. Theirs is a friendly museum, though, where touching the treasures is allowed, and where the hours slip by unnoticed as the Baldwins share their memories of life in Vietnam and Indonesia. The den and living room are the main display areas for the souvenirs that include statues, vases, brass objects from China and India, ceremonial knives, a boat carved from a rubber tree and many other pieces most of which are antiques and all are handmade. A witch doctor mask hangs from one of the den’s walls where it can guard the house and its treasures from evil spirits. Every object has a history that Paul and Cucie can tell. The Baldwins have collected so many objects over the years that many are still in storage due to lack of room in the house. The story of how a Culpeper native developed such an impressive collection as well as a slight accent that is not the expected Southern drawl is one that spans about 20 years with many plot twists and turns beginning in the 1960s when Paul was a first sergeant in the army stationed in Vietnam. “Between my tours of duty, I stayed in Vietnam and did some counter insurgency assignments with the Department of Defense,” Paul said. “I had had all of the training that was possible so I was pretty highly qualified.” Paul was not allowed to talk of his assignments during those years. “I can talk about a little of it now,” Paul said. At one time, Paul did lurp team work. A lurp team was made up of five people who worked behind enemy lines. “We were turned out into the jungle with instructions to harass the enemy using booby traps, mines—whatever,” Paul said. He worked for the Department of Defense in Thailand for a while and helped to set up bombing raids. “I was ‘camouflaged’ all during that time because while you’re doing DOD assignments you’re described as a cook or something,” Paul said. “I was in on the penetration of Cambodia when we tried to set up a government, but we backed the wrong one.” Paul was a member of the ICCS peace keeping force as a security officer when he discovered that he was staying in a haunted building. “I was stationed in a village, and when I moved into this building there no one said anything to me about any problems,” Paul said. “Then at night I would hear the sound of pages turning and footsteps.” The village chief finally told Paul that the building had been the school, and that 16 children had died there when it was bombed. Bombing became more and more frequent at the village. The ICCS peace keeping force was made up of representatives from two communist countries and two non-communist governments. “It got to the point that the village was under almost constant mortar fire, and the communists would try to say that the South Vietnamese were doing the firing so I went out and dug up the spent shells to show them that they were Soviet made,” Paul said. “The place was in a constant state of panic, and one day I couldn’t find a Hungarian lieutenant who was hiding under my desk during an attack. When I found him, he said, ‘Even communists get scared’.” The communists had reason to be scared even when an attack was not in progress since the South Vietnamese hated the communists. “They would always want one of us to go out anywhere with them so that the South Vietnamese wouldn’t attack them,” Paul said. “They ended up leaving.” Paul stayed behind, though, to build bunkers for the people to take shelter in during the mortar fire. Paul was also involved in tunnel ratting, or searching out tunnels used by the North Vietnamese for camps or storage purposes. “In the late ‘60s, I found a VC base camp,” Paul said. Paul received a medal for finding the camp. He does not display that medal or any of the other medals he received in Vietnam. “They’re all in a box somewhere,” Paul said. “They wouldn’t buy a cup of coffee now - it’s all history.” Paul’s Vietnam history also includes a tale of love since it was there that he met his wife, Cucie. “I saw her for the first time during a mortar fire barrage,” Paul said. “I noticed that she didn’t seem to be as scared as the others even though she was a young girl at the time.” The Baldwins were married twice in Vietnam in a Buddhist ceremony and another ceremony to satisfy the American officials. They had to appear before court, the village chiefs had to sign the marriage papers and approve them and the police traced Cucie’s background, and all of the officials collected fees. “If LILAC TIME They’re young, they’re in love, they face each other across the table munching hamburgers and sipping cokes. They’ve got stars in their eyes and they’re in a cloud that “comes on” like a country lane in lilac time. Just now they don’t need anything or anybody else. It’s beautiful while it lasts, but it doesn’t last, at least not this way. In some ways, things get better. In other ways, the repetition of everyday living (with the bills and the dishes and colds in winter and poison ivy in summer) catches up. And so people need a focal point where they can weigh one thing against another and really consider what it’s all about. There happens to be a good place to ponder and to judge. . one that’s been around for quite a few centuries. The Church, in case you haven’t guessed. Copyright 1985.

Photo Courtesy/Paul Baldwin HELICOPTERS LIKE THIS one were necessary for Paul Baldwin to reach the drilling sites. her family had ever had any connection with the communists, 1 would have never been able to get her out of the country,” Paul said. Paul received a medical discharge from the army in 1971. He was offered two missionary positions in Africa and Israel, but he declined both in favor of going to Singapore to try for a job with an oil company. Cuc-i stayed in Vietnam while Paul went job hunting. “Some friends had told me that the oil business was picking up, and there were a lot of oil companies in Singapore,” Paul said. Paul’s first job was in Saudi Arabia, but he stayed for only three months. “The Saudis were extremists and very strict about their rules,” Paul said. Some of the punishments for breaking Saudi rules included cutting off the hand of anyone caught stealing and beating any foreign man who looked at a Saudi woman. “They told me that I would never be allowed to bring my wife into the country, and that was the last straw,” Paul said. After another brief job in Kuwait, Paul returned to Singapore to try with other oil companies. “That time in Singapore involved taking around my resume to the companies, and then playing the waiting game,” Paul said. While he was waitine. he found that Singapore was clean, designed for tourists, with the number one language being English, and that Americans were well liked there. “I met an ex-rodeo rider in a club, and we got into a dart game,” Paul said. “While we played, we talked about the oil business, which he was involved in, and he told me that he would rather have someone like me with no oil field training than to have to re-train the Americans from the States so that they could work with the larger oil rig that had to be used.” After that conversation, Paul decided to keep on trying for an oil company job even though his money was running out. "I lived off of one hamburger and water for about a week because I couldn't get my money out of Vietnam and money from the States hadn’t reached me.” Paul said. “Finally, 1 got a call from Petro-Sea International, a company operating out of Australia." During the interview, Paul was asked if he had had any previous experience with asphalt, and he thought back to the time before Vietnam when he had worked for the highway department in Fairfax. He was hired and sent to Sumatra, one of the islands of Indonesia, to finish an air strip. Cucie then left Vietnam, but only by buying a round trip ticket to Singapore. “I was working, so I couldn’t meet her, and it was her first trip out of Vietnam and on a plane,” Paul said. Cucie became a resident of Singapore before Paul returned from a job on another island, Sulawesi, because she had been* there over the two month limit when she either had to become a resident or leave Singapore. Before Cucie could move to Indonesia with Paul, she had to return to Vietnam and apply for a visa. With the visa in hand, Cucie joined Paul in Sumatra and found a different kind of difficulty. “I didn’t look any different from the people there, but when they tried > to talk to me they found out that I couldn’t speak the language,” Cucie said. “Then they would stick pins in me to see if I was the same as them.” Within three to four months, Cucie had learned enough of the language to be able to shop and carry on some conversation. “In the markets, you had to be able to speak enough of the language so that you could bargain,” Curie said. “They would always try to cheat you in the market.” By this time, Paul was setting up oil drilling projects, building roads to the projects and then running the projects. Indonesia includes 13,000 islands, and Paul said that he went to every one of them at one time or another to take soundings, or to look for the right kind of rock formations under the earth for drilling. Once a promising site had been found, Paul was in charge of clearing it - and getting all of the equipment to the site to set up. “A lot had to go on before (Continued on Page 11) mORLRND FRRdl "Polled Stmmentals With Large Pelvics" ^Solving Dehorning and Caff Pulling Problems " COMPLETE DISPERSAL SATURDAY, APRIL27,1985,1 PM Fauquier Livestock Exchange Marshall, Virginia l2 miles East of Marshall on Route 55) Auctioneers John Spiker and Merrill Anderson 110 Females 41 Spring '85 calvers—30 three in one's \ 1S will have bull calves 12 will have heifer calves I -11 Bred heifers (for Fall '85 calving) 28 Open heifers 3 Herd sires Plus ten 12-18 month old herd sire prospects 1 Resulting from 14 years of concentrated breeding and selection from a base of 650 performance bred Simmentals.

Through The Baldwins’ Treasures And Memories (Continued from Page 10) drilling could begin,” Paul said. “We had to move in breakdown rigs bigger than anything in Texas that could rise over a hundred feet into the air, and that had to be brought in piece by piece by about a hundred helicopter trips.” The sites were in remote areas only accessible by air or water. “I had helicopters and boats that were always available to me,” Paul said. To make roads, Paul would sometimes have to cut off whole sides of mountains and hills. “One time I built what essentially was a floating road when I had logs sunk into the muck to make a base,” Paul said. “Then we used smaller logs on top thatched with vines to walk our equipment across on.” Paul was always in one stage or degrees,” Paul said. “We lived a couple of miles from the equator, and some Americans couldn’t stand it.” To help their employees cope with the lifestyle, the oil companies would have them work for six weeks and then give them an expense paid week off when they could go anywhere they wanted. The Baldwins vacationed primarily in Australia, but they traveled in other places, like the Philippines, too. Once, Paul went on a safari and drove across Sumatra from tip to tip in one week. “I had been re-located, and I wanted to learn as much about the island as I could,” Paul said. During the trip, he visited villa,, s where there are still yearly sacrifices of one person to a tiger so that the village will have a good year. Paul went PAUL BALDWIN STANDS on a site cleared Photo Courtesy/Paul Baldwin for an oil rig. another of a job in different areas, and each area had a different language. “I knew a base of five languages, but then there were different dialects from one place to another," Paul said. A foreman who could interpret Paul’s orders was essential to the operation. Another essential part of each new operation was to keep the workers working. “I had to work my way in slowly at the beginning of each project because all of the workers would want raises right away when they saw a new boss,” Paul said. “The men would sometimes quit, and if I ever had to fire someone their whole village might show up the next day to threaten me.” There were other threats to live with in Indonesia, too. “The average life span there is 45 due to things like oil running in the water and very little sanitary conditions,” Paul said. Even though Paul and Cuci boiled their water and used a special rock to purify it even more, Paul contracted hepatitis in Sumatra in 1974. “It was very close,” Paul said. “The doctors said that I had the worst kind, and that I had gotten it from drinking bad water.” The climate in Indonesia was also a part of life that had to be reckoned with. “The temperature was alw'ays very hot - it never dropped below 85 We Buy and Sell Mortgage Notes Call for a quotation &&& VIRGINIA MORTGAGE EXCHANGE, INC. 5105 Backlick Road Annandale, VA 22003 Unit R Diane Warfield Kelly Loan Office (703) 256-3600 on tiger and wild boar hunts when he used a combination poison blow gun/spear that he has stored in a closet now. The Baldwins also visited the land of the Daiyaks near northeast Kalimantan. The Daiyaks are unique in many ways since they are the last of the head hunters, and they are known for their extremely long earlobes and their fighting natures. “The Daiyaks are a small people, but they are fighters,” Paul said. “The other Indonesian people are still scared of them.” Paul and Cucie enjoyed their life in Indonesia with all of the varied experiences they had and different people they were able to meet. “I was accepted as a mate by the Australians after three years with the company, and we had some interesting parties with our friends,” Paul said. “I have counted as many as 40 different countries represented at our dinner table at one time." Meeting and being able to talk with all of those varied people was wonderful, but a lot of work for Cucie. “She would have to prepare seven to eight different foods for one meal because of the different eating habits of our guests,” Paul said. When friends of the Moslem faith came over, Cucie would have to be careful because they will not eat pork and become offended if they find that pork has been pre-* pared in the house or in any of the pots. The last island the Baldwins lived on was Tarakan. Their two children, Teresa, 8, and Tommy, 4, were both bom in Indonesia and have dual citizenship. After 10 years in Indonesia, though, the Baldwins decided that if they were ever going to return to the States they would have make the move then. There were many factors that contributed to the decision that ultimately Husqwarna 1S4 The new standard of excellence in the 5l)cc class Excellent power to weight ratio Cham brake save$50 off manufacturer s suggested retail pnce NOW ONLY $389.95 Husqvarna 50 Cham brake Hn’h power at low speed Low noise and vibration off manufacturer's suggested retail pnce NOW ONLY $319.95 Husqvarna 44 Now improved with a more efficient ignition larger air t leaner and automatic choke Cham brake save$30 off manufacturer’s suggested retail price NOW ONLY $299.95 (9 Husqvarna Husqvarna 37 Out handyman s '4 ecial Powerful Exceptionally well balanced Cham h'ake SAVE $30 oft manufacturers suggested retail pnce NOW ONLY $189.95 8« SHENK’S RCISCO WINDOW CO. ® Husqvarna The Cham Saw.

Paul also has another son, Paul Baldwin, Jr., who works for the highway department in Culpeper. Paul had started his own catering business in addition to his work for the oil company, and they had the opportunity to buy a partnership in a diamond mine. Indonesia had changed, though, with the governments becoming unstable and personal freedom was being lessened. “American newspapers and magazines were being banned, and that was almost like the government saying, ‘Yanks, go home’,” Paul said. “Indonesia is a developing country, and if you wanted to work for them then it was fine - if not, you got out.” Paul told Cucie that they would move to the U.S. and try living here for a year to see if the transition in lifestyle and climate could be made. After some difficulties, since Cucie had no papers after the Vietnam War, the Baldwins made it to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving Day a year ago. The family lived with Paul’s parents for a while, and they thought they would retire from any business ventures. “We got tired of all of the daytime soap operas, so we began looking around for something to do,” Paul said. They were seriously considering a move to North Carolina when they found out that Paul’s cousin, Clarence Baldwin, wanted to sell the Baldwin Grocery Store in Washington. “I walked into the store, and I hadn’t seen Clarence for 25 to 30 years so I had to tell him who I was,” Paul said. With the thought of moving away from his family in Culpeper again and Cucie’s belief that she wanted to work in a store, Paul decided to make the shorter move to Rappahannock. Paul has renovated the house in back of the store although there are plans to build another house in the future. There are also plans for the store itself. “I want to give it a colonial front and renovate the inside so that people who want quicker service can have it while those who like to be waited on can have that, too,” Paul said. The work at the store is just one of the many changes that the Baldwin family has had to become accustomed to. “Everything is very different,” Cucie said. “In Indonesia, I had five maids and a nanny for the children so the work is more for me here, and the weather is a big change for me.” Since the Baldwins were accustomed to the foods they had in Indonesia, they have much of their food imported from New York. Their daughter, Teresa, found a challenge in school. She was in the second grade in Indonesia, and she had tested at the third grade level in math, but she could not read or write English. “She started in January of ‘84 in the first grade, and she had her teacher fooled for a while that she knew how to read,” Paul said. “Then the teacher found out that she was doing everything by memory and by looking at the pictures.” When the teacher discovered that r THE DAIYAKS ARE known for their long earlobes that they develop by rings on the ears. This man s earlobes were tom in the process. Photo Courtesy/Paul Baldwin putting more and more Teresa could not read, she began learning the language' in kindergarten class while taking other first grade classes. “She went through 134 books, and with Cucie working with her every night she jumped from kindergarten last year to second grade this year,” Paul said. Paul and Cucie have enjoyed their work in the store, and Paul said that it was just w'hat he was looking for. “The store puts us into the mainstream of American life, and I like the chance to meet the local people in the store,” Paul said. Paul hopes to someday have everything more settled so that he can begin to take part in more community activities. Right now, though, he is putting all of his time into the store and helping his family to adjust. “I am trying to create a friendly atmosphere at the store, and I treat everyone with respect,” Paul said. “I like joking and talking with the customers because everyone is special in his own right, but some people never take the time to find that out.” Take a few extra minutes to talk to the person behind the counter during your next trip to the store. If the person is Paul or Cucie Baldwin, you’ll be glad you did. ru On The Morning Side Of The Blue Ridge’ * tells the story of Rappahannock County and its people • The soft bound book includes old photographs and special articles which appeared each month of the 1983 sesquicentennial year plus stories of historical interest from past years.

Fauquier County Supervisors Approve Enforcement Of State Sludge Regulations The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors last week unanimously approved a county program to enforce state regulations governing the use of sewage sludge as fertilizer. The program, effective immediately, will be funded with $60 permit and $2 per acre application fees charged to companies which haul the solid byproduct of wastewater treatment plants. County planning and zoning staff members will enforce the state regulations with spot checks to ensure haulers apply the soupy sludge properly. Virginia Roundup By ARCOM News Service Contract Awarded For Route 28 Study The Virginia Highway and Transportation Commission awarded a $3.1 million contract last week for the engineering and design study of im provements to Route 28 from Route 7 in Loudoun County to Interstate 66, but did not guarantee the money to pay for it. The commission voted on Thursday to authorize the contract to the Fairfax engineering firm Dewberry and Davis, specifying that the $3,120,000 contract include a consultant’s fee of $206,472. Authorization of the contract, however, is “contingent upon the availability of funds” in the state’s six-year improvement program for primary roads, by which the commission appro priates money for primary road projects. The six-year plan adopted last year allocates $575,000 for the study, but under a major highway funding bill the General Assembly passed this year, the amount of money allocated for primary road projects in the Northern Virginia District will shrink by almost $4 million. Money for primary road construction already has shrunk by almost $200,000—from $9.8 million to $9.6 million—in Northern Virginia since the Assembly adjourned in March and by $3 million statewide. Push Is On For Northern Virginia Bypass Supporters say it is a road that will be needed to ease intolerable traffic on the Capital Beltway. It could cut through Loudoun County and have a great impact on growth here. The road has been dubbed the Northern Virginia Bypass, a kind of outer Beltway that would more than WILSON BROS, INC.

Although only a concept now, it is planned as 80-miles of six-lane interstate highway that could cost $770 million. State highway Commissioner Harold C. King says the highway will be necessary to handle traffic growth in Northern Virginia and suggested the idea in a recent letter to the state’s Congressional delegation. “We need it right now,” said state highway commissioner Joseph Guiffre, who represents the Northern Virginia Highway District, which includes Loudoun. “Yes, it would be a great help to Northern Virginia.” One of Guiffre’s colleagues on the commission, T. Eugene Smith, an atlarge urban member from McLean, is pushing the bypass idea, primarily because of the 130,000 vehicles a day that now use the Capital Beltway. 20th District Chief Magistrate Appointed Fran Eldred of Washington, Va., recently was appointed chief magistrate in the 20th Judicial Circuit. She will supervise magistrates in Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun counties. Eldred succeeds the late Howard Sweeney of Warrenton who died recently. Magistrates are trained to issue search warrants, arrest warrants, subpoenas and summonses. They also allow bail or commit people to jail and perform various other duties such as providing information on the judicial system. Magistrates are not connected with law enforcement. They serve as a buffer between law enforcement and society. School Board Makes Land Deal The Fauquier School Board agreed this week to pay $687,000 for 53.5 acres that will be used for additional sports facilities at Fauquier High School. The board will sign the contracts for the two parcels next week, said School Board Vice Chairman George Mayhugh, an attorney who negotiated for the property with fellow member Robert Gilliam. On Thursday, the board will meet with the Fauquier Board of Supervisors to determine how to pay for the land. Additional acreage will be used for needed sports facilities, said School Board Chairman C. Hunter Ritchie. An enlarged cafeteria and parking lot also are proposed improvements at the high school, which sits on a 37-acre site, but “room for recreational facilities is the top priority,” the chairman said. Subdivision Goes Dry One of Fauquier County’s most affluent community’s went without water for more than 10 hours last weekend. On Saturday, water pressure began dropping sharply at the Millwood subdivision east of Warrenton at about 3:30 p.m. By 5 p.m. the 85-home subdivsion was completely without water. At that point, there wasn’t enough water in the neighborhood “to make a glass of lemonade,” said resident Jon Burleson. Residents of Millwood experienced a similar interruption of service on Sunday that lasted about four hours. Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority General Manager Steve Gordon attributed the problem to the indiscriminate use of water by Millwood residents on weekends. Mr. Gordon said he will send letters to the residents encouraging them to “spread out the use of water” throughout the week. Successor Sought For Loudoun Commissioner The search is on to find a replacement for the Loudoun County’s Commissioner of the Revenue, both for an interim appointee and candidates to run in a special election in November. Plenty of names have been mentioned in Democratic and Republican political circles as possible candidates since the incumbent commissioner, Democrat Lee T. Keyes, announced April 16 that he would resign effective June 30. Keyes, 66, commissioner since 1972, announced he would resign because he has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. He has not yet made a plea to the charge, stemming from a March 30 automobile crash in Leesburg, in which his car collided head-on with a vehicle occupied by two teenaged girls. , Keyes, whose office is responsible for property assessments, licenses, state income tax assistance and other duties, will leave office with two-and-ahalf years left in his current four-year term. He will leave office early enough to allow a special election in November. Loudoun Circuit Court judges will appoint an interim Commissioner of the Revenue to serve from July 1 until the end of the year.On Jan. 1, a new commisioner elected in November during a special election will take over.

Goldstein’s performance included mime, clowning, actring, juggling, stilt-walking and improvisation techniques that made his show a captivating experience for his young (and old) audience. The children giggled and squealed at the antics of his mime character and laughed out loud when Goldstein drew Gregory Williams of Flint Hill onstage to perform with him. The purpose of the Arts-In-Education program is to present an ongoing series of educationally-focused artist residencies in cooperation with local school systems of the community.

Disgusted with the current state of the theater, Dioysus, god of drama (and wine!), makes a hilarious journey to the underworld to bring back some “old blood” (dead) to add “new life” to today’s drama. The results surprise even him. The public is invited for an evening of side-splitting humor, satire and some slap-stick, and nostalgia. Tickets are available at the door: $2 for students and $3 for adults. Summer Study Program Wakefield is finalizing plans for a four week summer study program at Seale-Hayne College in Devonshire, England. The program, which is limited to 30 people, is open to students in grades 7-12. There are currently a few places left, and Headmaster William E.

King Pinard, Queen Belyea Defend Fodderstack Crowns By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Conditions for the Fodderstack Race on Saturday were anything but ideal. Temperatures in the high 80s plagued runners throughout the race, prompting many to complain of insufficient practice time in the heat. Depending on the runner interviewed, the heat added anywhere from one to five minutes onto race times. Merrill Strange of Castleton, who confessed she walked parts of the course, made a typical comment after the race. “I thought it (the heat) was terrible. I’ve never had to stop and walk before, even when I was pregnant." Strange said the lack of wind aggravated the problem, adding that, luckily, “A really nice man was hosing everybody down about midway through the course. ” Strange also summed up the feelings of many runners by saying “You just had to keep telling yourself you were doing it to finish, not for time." If mere mortals complained about. the oppressive heat, two superhumans did not. Steve Pinard of Hartwood, the overall champion with a record-breaking time of 31:26, dismissed the heat with a shrug - “I didn’t mind it." That’s almost a cruel admission. Others who approached heat exhaustion were still crawling across the finish line while Pinard was lying on the courthouse lawn yawning and saying he didn’t mind the heat. The guy must train in an oven set at 350. In his first Fodderstack last year, Pinard won and set a record. This year he shaved nearly a minute off that mark. “It’s a tough course," he said. "I would like to have slowed down, but I heard Bill Stewart (2nd place finisher) behind me. It was a good workout today." Pinard admitted he got tired, offering the weak excuse that he ran, oh, 100 to 110 miles the past week. “I usually run that many when I’m training for a race.” Pinard will probably return next year to mock at the course in his usual manner. He said he likes to compare times to see what kind of shape he’s in. Pinard was not the only one who shrugged off the hot weather. Kim Belyea of Winchester, top finisher among the women with a time of 37:41, said the heat didn’t bother her much. “I felt strong, I kept feeling a breeze that cooled me off.” Sane people will say she dreamed the breeze, because it just wasn’t there. Nothing in the air on Saturday felt like a coolant, yet Belyea was refreshened by something - believe it or not. Like Pinard, Belyea thinks the course is a tough one. She rated it an 8 out of 10 on a toughness scale. Why? “The hills tire me out,” she said. Winners of the Eva L. Smith Memorial, awarded to the first place finishers from Rappahannock, were Frank Reynolds for the men (36:27) and Lisa Currie for the women (44:51). Reynolds, who claimed his fifth Memorial and was sixth overall, topped the men's 40 - 49 division. “I ran the best race I could,” remarked the Washington attorney. “It was really, really hot, I just couldn’t push it anymore.” Reynolds aimed for a time in the low 35s but was satisfied with his 36:27. “It’s dangerous,” he said, referring to the heat. “You can get overheated and not know it.” Lisa Currie of Amissville ranked C LO R f Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley MANY PEOPLE WERE in Washington Satiirday to see the Fodderstack racers finish and to look through the booths on the Baptist Church lawn.

VIRGINIA 22701 PHONE 825-2800 Registration // 000031 Lunch Served third overall among the women. Of the 275 people who registered for the 10 kilometer race, 225 actually ran, reported race chairman Philip Strange. Each figure fell about 100 from last year. Strange said the heat was responsible for the smaller turnout, noting that even in the prestigious Boston Marathon, held a week before, participation was down because of neat. Former Smith Memorial winner Mary O’Meara of Slate Mills suffered from heat exhaustion during the race. Her husband, Barney O’Meara, reported over the phone that she recovered almost fully while enroute to Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton. In other local highlights, Fay Crescenti placed second in the women’s 50 - 59 division while earning over $250 in pledges for the Rappahannock senior citizens food account. Crescenti said she didn’t think the race was worth dying for. Her strategy for staying alive: “I walked up the hills and ran like hell down them.” She confesses to having walked a third of the race. “A fast walk,” that is. “It was fun and I got lots of support for the senior citizens.” In the 60 and over category, Grace Simms (78:16) placed first for the women while John Marocchi (64:26) was second for the men. Runners up for the Eva L. Smith Memorial were, for the men, Craig Kenyon (41:45) who placed third in the men’s 19 - 24 division and John Dodson (43:20), a second place finisher among the 13 - 18 year olds. Runners up for the women were former Memorial winner Merrill Strange (57:36) and Sara Shorter (62:18). Other Rappahannock runners and their times were: Kell Achenback (52:46), Patty Alexander (64:14), Philip Angell (51:48), Matthew Eidson (52:14), Michael Eidson (47:06), Frances Foster (78:08), Denise Horton (159:36), Bryan Johnson (56:29), Ethelyn Karp (58:39), Mitchel S.

George Krumbhar, 48, of Washington, D.C. ran the race in “around 50 minutes.” He seemed less interested in his time, though, than the fact that the top 300 runners received athletic bags. “It’s great for local business,” he said, sporting his own bag stuffed with pottery, grape jelly and assorted handicrafts. He went on a shopping spree after running the race. What about the Fodderstack? “It’s one of the nicest races I’ve run in. The area is so pretty.” Bill Stewart of Winchester, second overall with a time of 31:53, “felt very Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp RUNNERS GATHERED AT the starting line in Flint Hill before the gun sounded to begin the Fodderstack Race on Saturday. good during the race.” He said it was his kind of course. “I like the hills.” What does he mean he likes the hills? Is he crazy? “I train on hills; I’m a strength runner, not a fast runner.” So Stewart overpowers his opponents. At about the halfway mark, Stewart knew Pinard was going to win. “He (Pinard) started off fast, and when you do that, you either fall off or keep going.” Pinard kept going.

The team lost their first home meet on Monday, April 15 and placed second in a meet on Wednesday, April 17 at Clarke County. “We are having a rough time getting over injuries,” said Coach Ann Spieker. “Our top sprinter, Garri Jackson, and pole vaulter/hurdler, David Fischbein, are out with bad muscle pulls.” Other team members have been improving their performances, though. “James Dennis is still proving an outstanding athlete capturing high places in three events,” Spieker said. “The mile relay team that James anchors along with Dexter Freeman, Jimmie Freeman and Ricky Shaw are not beaten by Bull Run District competition.” Spieker is also pleased with the performances of Mathew' Frye and Jeff Fudd in the shot put and triple jumps. “Jonathan Watson is really coming on strong in the distance runs - closing the distance between him and senior distance star, Ronnie Atkins,” Spieker said. “He broke the five minute mile against Clarke for a personal accomplishment."

They did not wonder long. Last Friday night Rappahannock avenged its loss to Page by defeating Clarke. The Panthers didn't exactly blow them out though, at least not until the sixth inning. Until then the game was dead even and could have gone either way. Jeff Porter pitched for the Panthers. Although whiffing the first two batters he looked a little shaky in the early innings. But it didn’t matter; the Panthers struck first. The Clarke pitcher had to be more than shaky after the Panthers hit him long and hard in the first inning. Luckily for him he had outfielders in the right places. Greg Smith led off with a long shot to right that fell just short of the woods and was caught. Porter was next in line; he hit an infield single. Then Rob Brown banged a long fly down the leftfield line that looked like a triple, but it was caught, somehow. With two out Chucky Jenkins walked. Porter was on second. Mike Atkins came to the plate. Then something weird happened. When Clark’s pitcher threw to first Jenkins was caught in a hotbox. Scrambling to tag Jenkins, Clarke’s infield took little note of Porter who was hustling home. Jenkins was tagged out but not before Porter crossed the plate. Score one for Rappahannock. The lead didn’t last long. In the top of the second inning Porter walked a batter and the next singled. A suc•cessful bunt loaded the bases. With only one out things looked bleak for Rappahannock. The next batter hit a fly to right that sailed foul but was caught by H. B. Wood. The runner on third tagged up and scored. Porter walked another batter, then pitched out of the jam. The inning could have been worse. Neither pitcher had any trouble in the third inning, both faced only four batters. Porter began to settle down and throw strikes. Porter opened the fourth by stop ping a hard grounder up the middle that otherwise would have been a sure hit. The next batter walked but was thrown out at second after a teammate attempted to advance him bv bunting. Then Porter hit a batter, leaving runners on first and second. Next an infield error allowed Clarke’s player to score all the way from second. The Panthers were down 2 - 1 but they answered back in a hurry. After Chucky Jenkins ground out, Mike Atkins smashed a ground rule double into the right field woods. Then Tommy Jenkins lined a shot up the middle that sent Atkins home. H. B. Wood followed by grounding into a double play, but the Panthers had at least tied the game. In the top of the fifth Porter retired the side easily. Two players struck out, another hit a harmless grounder to the shortstop. Unfortunately the Panthers didn’t do any better in the fifth. K'ontinued on Page 18) THE WAIT IS OVER. WE'RE OPEN!

Hopes High In Sperryville (Continued from Page 1) the town,” said Swindler. “It will mak it much easier for businesses to develop.” He predicted that expansion will come in about two years when the system is completed. Already, though, “things are picking up, tourism is good, because the economy is good-it has been for about three or four years.” Swindler didn’t think commercial success would bring anything so garish as a water slide to Sperryville. He thought that Sperryville was heading in the right direction by cleaning up some of its messy spots and encouraging some development. He noted that litter in the area, particularly in the Thornton River, was a problem. “It (the river) needs cleaning up. It could be an attraction, but it’s full of tires and cans....” Other than that, Swindler i8....well, in love with the town. “It’s beautiful, it’s surrounded by mountains. People can come out here and visit very attractive shops. There are no big crowds and no stoplights.” Swindler is not the only one who thinks Sperryville is perking up. Listen to Maurice O’Bannon, owner of the Sperryville Emporium. “I think the town is on the upswing, more so than any other place in the county. Businesses that were vacant for years are now in operation.” Also, “There’s a lot less property for sale along 211 (in Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8068-Office Sparryvllto - Spacious tri-level home, 3 bedrooms, 2Vi baths, den, family room w/fireplace, large living room, kitchen w/appliances, dining room, attached garage, 5.5 acres. $92,000.

Like everybody else, he hopes the system will run smoothly. “The one (sewage plant) we get will be the only one we’ll ever have because it’s all we can afford. ” O’Bannon had other prescriptions for the town’s health, such as attracting more restaurants and motels. “I’m always turning people to Luray or Madison.” He would like to see more growth in Sperryville, which he called “the business center of the county.” Martin and Cheri Woodard, owners of Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques in Sperryville, are optimistic about the town’s future. In an interview, Mr. Woodard said there was an undercurrent of excitement and expectation throughout the town. He noted two significant ways in which businesses were working together to promote Sperryville: 1) through cooperative advertising and 2) by stressing Sperryville in ads rather than just a particular business. Mr. Woodard also thought the commitment to build a sewage system had improved the town’s image. He said the plant will wipe away a blemish caused by the stigma of dumping sewage into the Thornton River. Aside from sewage, the Woodards talked about a “a change in the market” or a change in the type of people who visit Sperryville. “There’s more of a yuppie (young professional) crowd that wants to spend a weekend and hunt around,” Mr. Woodard said. “There are fewer hard core tourists in town because of Interstate 66,” which allows tourists to bypass Rappahannock. Therefore, people no longer inevitably run into Sperryville as they once did when Route 211 was the main road to the mountains. Because of this, Mr. Woodard said Sperryville needs to attract people specifically to it, for a day or a weekend, rather than count on the flow of casual tourists. He hoped that the new sewer would prompt someone to open up a bed and breakfast in town to accommodate weekenders. On the weekend of May 25 and 26, the Woodards will host Faith Mountain Country Fare, their second Annual Open House and Festival of American Crafts. They hope the annual festival will develop into something akin to an old fashioned town fair in which all the local businesses take part. This year the festival will include at least twenty-five crafts people from Virginia and surrounding states, all of whom will be demonstrating their craft, such as basket making, glassblowing, woodworking, stenciling, candlewicking, weaving and doll making. There will be a string band, fresh ALL OF GRACE — Part 1 — From the book by C. H. Spurgeon, published 1886 and made available through the ministry of the Anabaptist Fellowship, P. O. Box 248, Sperryville, Va. 22740. “An Earnest Word with Those Who are Seeking Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ'' TO YOU! The object of this book is the salvation of the reader. He who spoke and wrote it will be greatly disappointed if it does not lead many to the Lord Jesus. It is sent forth in childlike dependence upon the power of God the Holy Ghost, to use it in the conversion of millions, if so he pleases. No doubt many poor men and women will take up this little volume, and the Lord will visit them with grace. To answer this end, the very plainest language has been chosen, and many homely expressions have been used. But if those of wealth and rank should glance at this book, the Holy Ghose can impress them also; since that which can be understood by the unlettered is none the less attractive to the instructed. Oh that some might read it who will become great winners of souls! Who knows how many will find their way to peace by what they read here? A more important question to you, dear reader, is this — Will you be one of them? A certain man placed a fountain by the wayside, and he hung up a cup near to it by a little chain. He was told some time after that a great art-critic had found much fault with its design. “But,” said he, “do many thirsty persons drink at it?” Then they told him that thousands of poor people, men, women, and children, slaked their thirst at this fountain; and he smiled and said, that he was little troubled by the cntic’s observation, only he hoped that on some sultry summer’s day the critic himself might fill the cup, and be refreshed, and praise the name of the Lord. Here is my fountain, and here is my cup; find fault if you please, but do drink of the **hr ®f Ufe. I only care for this. I had rather bless the soul of the poorest crossingsweeper, or rag-gatherer, than please a prince of the blood, and fail to convert him to God. Reader, do you mean business in reading these pages? If so, we are agreed at the outset; but nothing short of your finding Christ and heaven is the business aimed at here. Oh that we may seek this together! I do so by dedicating this little book with prayer. Will not you join me by looking up to God, and asking him to bless you while you read? Providence has put these pages in your way, you have a little spare time in which to read them, and you feel willing to give your attention to them. These are good signs. Who knows but the set time of blessing is come for you? At any rate, “The Holy Ghost saith. Today, if ye will bear his voice, harden not your hearts." WHAT ARE WE AT? I heard a story; I think it came from the North Country: — A minister called upon a poor woman, intending to give her help; for he knew that she was very poor. With his half-crown in his hand, he knocked at the door; but she did not answer. He concluded she was not at home, and went his way. A little after he met her at the church, and told her that he had remembered her need: “I called at your house, and knocked several times, and I suppose you were not at home, for I had no answer." "At what hour did you call, sir?" "It was about noon." "Oh dear,” she said. "I heard you, sir, and I am so sorry 1 did not answer; but I thought it was the man calling for the rent.” Many a poor woman knows what this meant. Now, it is my desire to be heard, and therefore 1 want to say that 1 am not calling for the rent; indeed, it is not the object of this book to ask anything of you, but to tell you that salvation is All Of Grace,which means free, gratis, for nothing. Oftentimes, when we are anxious to win attention, our hearer thinks, "Ah! now I am going to be told my duty. It is the man calling for that which is due to God, and I am sure I have nothing wherewith to pay. 1 will not be at home." No, this book does not come to make a demand upon you, but to bring you something. We are not going to talk about law, and duty, and punishment, but about love, and goodness, and forgiveness, and mercy and eternal life. Do not, therefore, act as if you were not at home: do not turn a deaf ear, or a careless heart. I am asking nothing of you in the name of God or man. It is not my intent to make any requirement at your hands; but I come in God’s name, to bring you a free gift, which it shall be to your present and eternal joy to receive. Open the door, and let my pleadings enter. “Come now, and let us reason together.” The Lord himself invites you to a conference concerning your immediate and endless happiness, and he would not have done this if he did not mean well towards you. Do not refuse the Lord Jesus who knocks at your door; for he knocks with a hand which was nailed to the tree for such as you are. Since his only and sole object is your good, incline your ear and come to him. Hearken diligently, and let the good word sink into your soul. It may be that the hour is come in which you shall enter upon that new life which is the beginning of heaven. Faith cometh by hearing, and reading is a sort of hearing: faith may come to you while you are reading this book. Why not? O blessed Spirit of all grace, make it so! — To Be Continued — For information call Rev. Tom Marshall 703-369-2500 - 703-368-4570 or Rev. Allen Estep 703-896-3495 baked goods, vegetable and flower pots, hanging baskets and Virginia wines, in addition to the full assortment of herbs and antiques found at Faith Mountain. And there is more. Down the street from Faith Mountain is Carriage House Antiques, which Tom and Danielle Junk opened about a year ago. In an interview, Mr. Junk said he and his wife moved to Sperryville because it was the right kind of small town for their business. “A lot of traffic comes through this way. There are lots of things that draw people: apples, Skyline Drive and antiques,” Mr. Junk said. He too thinks Sperryville is on the upswing, noting that “There is a mood to get the area cleaned up.” Once the bugs are ironed out of the sewage system, it will be an asset to the town, he said. Last year Mr. Junk’s sales were up 40 percent. He attributed the increase to the stronger economy and said that people are more interested in buying than they were a few years ago. He even said he did as well in the dead of winter as he did last summer. Mr. Junk predicted that more antique shops will come to Sperryville because of the town’s improvements. Randolph Clater, owner of the Comer Store in Sperryville, said the town is going to “pick up.” For Clater it already has. Last year he had more gross sales than at any time in the store’s history. Needless to say, “I’m satisfied with business.” The key to the town’s success, said Clater, is to attract more tourists by building new businesses. “That will help the town of Sperryville.” Track Team (Continued from Page 15) 100 hurdles with a time of 19.0; Chandra Davis, second in the discus with 73’l/2”; Denice Eidson, second in the 400 with a time of 114.%; Heather Blevins, second in the 800 with a time of 3:18.7; Wendy Stringfellow, third in the shot put with 29’8”; and Kelly Bristol, third in the 300 hurdles with a time of 1:00.

Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp pack their bags after Friday’s 4-2 victory over Clarke Panthers Top Clarke (Continued from Page 15) In the sixth Porter again had no trouble stopping three Clarke batters. Then the Panthers came to bat growling. Porter led off with single to right. Rob Brown’s shot to left, with the help of an error, scored Porter all the way from first. Brown got to second. Then he took third on a wild pitch and was finally sent home on a sacrifice fly by Chucky Jenkins. With two runners left on base, Rappahannock could have done more damage but they had to settle for a two-run inning. That turned out to be enough. Although he gave up a ground rule double, Porter struckout two in the seventh inning. The game ended with the Panthers ahead 4-2.

They select these special crops by watching the produce section of the supermarkets to see what is available there and by reading current food articles to see what the trends are. Marketing also involves making your products special, said Bell, who is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Offer not just fresh vegetables, but information on how to cook and store the produce, he said. Or offer a tour of the farm, a ride in a hay wagon for children, or demonstrations of old time farming activities. These enjoyable experiences are part of appeal to customers, too. “An annual special sale, sometimes at the end of the season, can be offered for regular customers, and nearby customers,” Bell said. “It gives the farmer a chance to say ‘thank you’ and makes the customers feel like part of the family.” r After the game Coach Dawson complained that his team was still making too many mental errors. “We’re not concentrating in the field,” he said. “And we’re still not hitting as we can. We hit too many pop-ups.” Dawson said the Panthers should have won the game 10 - 2, not 4 - 2. Rappahannock and Clarke had seven team hits apiece. Porter hit 3 for 3 on the day, Mike Atkins hit 2 for 3. Porter struck out 8 and walked four. The Panthers are now 2 - 3 in the district and 3-4 overall.

GEEETINGS TO EVERYONE I want to talk to you about your father; the y man you call "daddy". You know that your dad ^will always be there to help you and stand by! #your side. I know my dad has done just that for V the past 24 years and I thank God for him. £ But what I want to share with you is the; J love our Heavenly Father has for us. The Bible y says that we have a sonship with God and we' *cry "Abba Father" (Read Romans 8;15). The! words "Abba Father" in the original text is liter y ally saying "Daddy". Have youever thought of! ^calling God, Daddy? You can if you are One of! iHischildren. (Romans8:14-16) ! y The Dictionary defines the word “daddy"! P meaning father. j ? God's love for you and I is great; He loves! y so much that he chose us before the founda- \ j» Hon of the world and He called us to adoption to j J Himself by Jesus Christ, (Ephesians 1:4 & 5)! P that is not to say that the Father God made us J * robots — the choice to accept what Jesus has J f done for us is left up to each individual person. J fHave you heard what Jesus did for us? It’s 4 * Wonderful!! He gave Himself for us and died on J f a cross ---He bore all of our sins — all of our! J sickness and diseases — and all of our sor-3 Jrows (Isaiah 53:5 + Matthew 8:17) He went to? fHell (or the lower parts of the earth) in our! f place (Ephesians 4:8 & 9) and paid the price ■ Jwith His own Blood. He reconciled us Back to! f God Qust as Adam & Eve were before the fall of j •man; Romans Chap. 5) He made us to be HisJ J brothers and sisters, joint heirs together with? ,him of all that belongs to God the Father (Ro-S * mans 8:17) | | So we know if we are brothers and sisters S 'with Jesus; we can call God "Abba Father"! j i If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord, 2 'begin to look at God as “Daddy" or “Abba Fa-3 |ther" and know that He is on your side, always # (there for you just as your earthly father is. God I i is for us, not against us. J | If you haven't yet accepted jesus and# (What he has done for you; He is not hrlding* i anything against you, He loves yc nd lias al- £ iready forgiven you —simply accept ,i and you# ' can then call God "Abba Father". 5 NUGGETTS OF TRUTH Rev.
