For Rappahannock residents few, if any, preparations were needed as the storm remained near the Atlantic coast, some 175 miles to the east, where it skidded from the North Carolina beaches into New England where it quickly dissipated. The storm, which did relatively minor damage to beaches, boardwalks and bulkheads along the coast, was more of a conversation piece than a local threat. Local weather observer Dennis Wingfield recorded .74 inches of rainfall in Sperryville as a result of the storm, yet it kept the total rainfall for September to less than one inch — .83 inches, to be precise. “Other people have gauged close to an inch” of rainfall on Thursday and Friday, Wingfield said, allowing for differences in equipment and locality. “So we’re talking the difference of about a quarter of an inch,” little when compared to the rain needed after a dry summer, he said. Electrical power was knocked out in the Washington area for about 30 minutes midday Friday, and a few trees were reported knocked over by the wind. No damage, and no personal iryury, was reported. Rappahannock County Sheriff John Henry Woodard reported that his department received no calls for assistance because of the storm. Gloria, at one time classified as the strongest of hurricanes measurable, kicking up winds greater than 150 miles per hour while spinning harmlessly at sea, was simply a cloudy, breezy Friday morning that quickly turned sunny and pleas ant by the early afternoon. She hid under an alias. For those in Rappahannock, the significance of the hurricane became that of tracking its path. By Thursday morning, when it became apparent that Gloria could strike land in our area, she was 350 miles south of Cape Hatteras, N.C., traveling northby-northwest at 15 mph, according to a hurricane report issued four times daily along a 1-900-number hotline at the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables, Fla. Her position and approach pattern changed quickly, as those living near the shore were warned to prepare for the worst, and those further inland were instructed to maintain a close watch on the storm. Those along the coastal areas were taking no chances. Navy vessels at Norfolk headed for the open sea or anchored in the relative safety of the Chesapeake Bay. Beach towns were evacuated from North Carolina to Virginia and the National Guard was called in to patrol the empty streets. By midnight, Gloria was 50 miles from the North Carolina coast and bearing down at 30 mph, carrying sustained winds of 130 mph, as her arms reached the Rappahannock County area, bringing with them dark clouds and a light rain. By early Friday morning, the county got its only taste of the storm. Breezy winds pulled leaves from their trees and a light rain fell before dawn. But by lunchtime, the clouds had virtually disappeared and the sun evaporated all that was left of the surface water. The only tell-tale sign of Gloria was a steady breeze. Staff writer Jane Bangley contributed to this report. A tree, downed at the entrance to Beahm Hollow by the winds of hurricane Gloria. He enjoyed ‘special delivery’ Carl Hofer will be reluctant to criticize rural bureaucracy. At least not after what happened last week. Hofer, who lives in McLean — and probably endures more than his share of red tape — owns some property in Jenkins Hollow. So, when it came time to pay his real estate taxes, he mailed his check to the Rappahannock County’s treasurer’s office in Washington. 4 Simple enough. Hofer says he wrote and mailed his check on Sept. 23. The next day, it was stamped as paid by treasurer Frances Foster. Then, the foil owing day, on Sept. 25, just two days after the check was *kent here, Hofer checked his mail to find an eye-opener: his receipt of payment. “It couldn’t have been much faster if I brought it down there myself,” he said this week. County employment rate rises The August unemployment rate fell to 5.3 percent of the Rappahannock County labor force, according to figures released this week by the Virginia Employment Commission. The August 1985 figures represent a decline in unemployment from the same time a year ago when 7.7 percent of the local job force was out of work. But at the same time a year, approximately 100 more persons were looking for work. The current job force is listed to be 2,665, down from 2,769 in August 1984. “We don’t really know where those people went,” said Jackie Cooke, director of job services of the VEC office in Culpeper. “It’s very hard to say. Even if they were commuting, they would show up somewhere.” Of the 2,665 persons in the Rappahannock job force, 2,524 were employed, according to the latest figures. The remaining 141 were out of work. A The 6.3 percent rate for August is a decline from July, when 5.9 percent of the job force was unemployed. Still, the unemployment rate in Rappahannock is slightly higher than most of the surrounding counties. Only Page County, with an unem ployment rate of 9.2 percent, and Warren County at 5.6 percent unemployment, face worse conditions. Elsewhere locally, Fauquier County posted the lowest unemployment at 2.7 percent, significantly lower than the 4.0 percent considered to be minimum unemployment. An employment rate of 96 percent is theoretically believed to be the ideal. Madison County was listed as having a 3.1 percent unemployment rate. Culpeper at 4.2 percent and Orange Please turn to page 16 Each bottle of wine 6is like a child’ By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News staff writer They say luck is the residue of preparation. If that’s so, then success, at least in the case of Dirgham and Corinne Salahi, is the residue of luck. And a mistake. When the couple bought land in Hume in 1977, they never intended to become professional winegrowers. The few grapes they planted that year were enough for themselves. i They made a mistake and planted so many grapes that they gave their surplus to amateur winegrowers — until Dirgham got an idea. He decided to expand his operation, to increase production to compete with other amateur winegrowers. But even that got him in trouble. He outgrew the basement in the couple’s house and Corinne ordered the operation out of the house. Fruit flies invaded the kitchen. “After she kicked me out, I decided to try commercial wine-making since I had been winning medals,” Dirgham said. “That’s when we built the winery.” The large winery area, where the pressing and fermentation take place, is underground except in the back where the grapes are delivered. Upstairs, there is a laboratory, a large wine-tasting room and an even larger banquet room with views of the 40-acre vineyard. The name “Oasis” was suggested by the Salahi’s two children. Corinne’s maiden name, Domaine, is used for the vineyard’s bottling name, Domaine de la Venne. Oasis Vineyard has grown into one of the largest wineries in Virginia since it was bonded in 1980. The Salahis can store up to 100,000 gallons of wine and champagne, and they grow 15 varieties of grapes. Most of the grapes are “vinefera” (noble), grapes, but there are some American and French varieties. The grape harvest, which usually begins in the last week of August and continues through September, was two weeks early this year due to the mild, dry weather. Dirgham begins analyzing grapes every week in the lab for sugar content, acidity and pH in July. The sugar level gets higher and the acid gets lower as summer continues.

Voter registration slow for November elections From Staff and Wire Reports RICHMOND — Voter registration in Virginia is lagging badly as registration drives for the 1985 election enter their final days, state and local officials say. “It’s very slow,” said Susan H. Fitz-Hugh, secretary of the state Board of Elections. As of the end of August, the last time for which complete figures are available, just fewer than 2.57 million Virginians were on the voter rolls. Registration for the 1984 elections soared to a record 2.66 million. The drop from last year stems from a January purge, required by the state constitution, of voters who had hot cast ballots for four years. That purge wiped more than 131,000 people off the rolls, but registrations since January have reduced the net loss. Mrs. Fitz-Hugh said last week that in August, a month when registration generally picks up in preparation for the November election, the state gained only about 4,700 new voters. Registration for the Nov. 5 elections for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and all 100 House of Delegates seats, will end at 5 p.m. Saturday. Most local registrars are offering extra opportunities for voters to sign up during the final week, setting up stations in shopping centers, public libraries, grocery stores and various government offices. On Saturday, local registrars are required to be open for business in their regular offices until 5 p.m. Gloria’s costs unknown Government and utility officials in Virginia said early this week they still had no estimates of the damage caused by Hurricane Gloria, which forced thousands of coastal residents to flee inland before it brushed past the state Friday. “There’s no way we can assess it at this point,” said Fred Ellis, the director of media and community affairs for Virginia Power’s eastern division. Mr. Ellis said utility crews were removing the last of downed tree limbs late Saturday night, and were finishing the last of their cleanup operations Sunday morning. “We had close to 800 line crewTnen in the field for the past 2V2 days,” Mr. Ellis said. The Virginia Power spokesman said a final total damage figure probably would be tabulated this week at the utility’s corporate headquarters in Richmond. The state Department of Emergency Services also had no figures on the total damage caused by the hurricane when it made its final charge up the Eastern Seaboard. Virginia Power officials had reported that more than 147,600 customers in southeastern Virginia lost service during the storm, the largest outage in a decade. Virginia Roundup Police outman Klan GATE CITY — Authorities spent $30,000 to provide security for a march by the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, but there were no incidents between the 35 Klan members and a crowd of about 600 onlookers. Gate City Town Manager Gary Cooter had estimated that providing protection for Klan members during Saturday’s march would cost the state and local taxpayers about $1,000 a minute. “Well, we just wasted $30,000 for that,” one woman said as the Klansmen, flanked by about 40 law enforcement officers, came to the end of their 0.3-mile parade route. The whole event lasted about a half hour. Members of the Appalachian Peace Education Center and several Scott County residents distributed antiKlan handbills and passed out balloons with the slogan “Love Thy Neighbor.” Some of the local businesses closed for a half-hour to protest the Klan’s presence. Several people in the crowd asked for and took handouts from the marching Klansmen and about five local people marched with them. Some Klansmen were robed while others were dressed in street clothes, black t-shirts and jeans and camouflage outfits. Jordan Gollub, Grand Dragon of the Bristol-based faction of the Christian Knights of the KKK, said he would have preferred a bigger crowd. 11 colleges are bargains Eleven colleges and universities in Virginia, from tiny, private Mary Baldwin College to sprawling, statesupported Virginia Tech, are bargains in higher education, according to a forthcoming book. The Best Buys in College Education, by education editor Edward B. Fiske of The New York Times, will be available at book stores Oct. 10, said a spokeswoman for Times Books. The spokeswoman, Sandee Brawarsky, said 221 colleges are on the list. “It is especially rewarding that Mary Baldwin is alone among its competing Southern women’s colleges in being featured in this important publication,” said Mary Baldwin president Dr. Cynthia H. Tyson. Mary Baldwin, whose 890 students live on its Staunton campus, charges $10,500 a year for tuition, fees, room and board. “Our basic reaction is we’re very pleased,” said Minnis Ridenour, vice president for finance at Virginia Tech. “We work very hard to control costs at the university.” Dixie drawl survives ATLANTA, Ga. — The younger generation in the South no longer speaks all the dialects of its ancestors, but Dixie retains one of America’s most distinctive speech patterns. That is the conclusion of the first complete study of Southern vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. The 19-year study, sponsored by Emory University in Atlanta and the National Endowment for the Humanities, shows that the “South remains a great repository of oldfashioned speech,” said Lee Pederson, a professor of linguistics and the study’s director. Dixie’s speech has kept its distinctive character, he said, “because Southerners have relied on the spoken word and the oral tradition and because they haven’t absorbed hundreds of thousands of immigrants.” Mr, Pederson will publish an atlas in January that contains words and phrases culled from 5,200 hours of interviews he and 350 other researchers conducted throughout the South. Driver fined in deaths ABINGDON — A Florida man has been convicted of careless driving and fined $50 in connection with a July 1 accident on the Blue Ridge Parkway that killed an Indiana couple. Wayne W. Calley, 67, of North Palm Beach, Fla., originally was charged with reckless driving. He was tried this week in U.S. District Court here. Calley had been driving north on the federal parkway when his car collided with a motorcycle that was towing a trailer. The two people on the motorcycle, Howard Affolder, 54, and his wife, Beulah Affolder, 51, of Berne, Ind., died while they were being taken to a hospital. Murder charge certified Blood stains in a car trunk and testimony by murder defendant Jaime Traverso’s 10-year-old daughter provide the most compelling evidence against him for the strangulation death of his ex-wife who was found floating near the Loudoun County bank of the Potomac River July 30, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Kevin O’Connell told a General District Court judge Friday. River 4 feet low Some long-time Clarke County farmers say the current dry spell may be the worst since the 1930s. Pickup trucks have been seen cruising down the often ankle-deep Shenandoah River which reportedly is as much as four feet below average. Statistic show rainfall year to date is nearly seven inches bel the 72-year average in the northern Shenandoah Valley. Most wells still are producing water, but many older, more shallow wells are going dry, according to area well drillers. Farmers are among the hardest hit. Many com crops intended for sileage dried so fast there was not enough moisture remaining for the crop to ferment properly. Hurricane a dud Hurricane Gloria was a real dud in Fauquier County. “We lucked out,” said Don Askew, Fauquier resident highway engineer. “Some parts of the county didn’t even get enough rain to settle the dust.” Weather observers reported 1.25 inches of rain in Warrenton and 1.39 inches north of The Plains between Thursday evening and Friday morning. County officials reported no damage or accidents or flooded roads due to the hurricane. Four families in Linden were without power for almost five hours Friday because of a cracked insulator, but Virginia Power District Manager Michael Malloy said the incident could have occurred during any rain. County has no insurance Fauquier County government has no general liability insurance and the prospects of getting coverage during the next eight months are grim, said County Administrator Steve Crosby. Fauquier’s general liability policy was cancelled last Wednesday and for now Fauquier is “self-insured” against property or personal iryury claims should an accident occur for which the county is responsible. That means the county would have to settle claims with general revenue funds and will have to budget insurance money as it would any other budget line item until a policy can be purchased. The county’s vehicle insurance as well as policies for the sheriffs department and volunteer fire and rescue companies are unaffected by the cancellation. Mr. Crosby said the county had been notified of imminent cancellation of the policy by Penco of Nashville, Tenn., in June and since has been trying to find a company that would insure Fauquier. Interview with Sally Nash of‘Box 48’ By LlAUKIH. MAAMIALL Rappahannock News contributing writer On Saturday and on Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. in the Gay St. Theatre in Washington, the premiere performance of a modem dance entitled “Box 48” will be presented by the Rappahannock Avocation for the Arts and Community (RAAC). “Box 48” was choreographed by Sally Nash and is based on the correspondence Ms, Nash has received since she moved to the county 10 years ago. The title is also her mailing address at the local post office. Ms. Nash and the Last Minute Wood Company perform the dance, which was two years’ in the making and deals with such subjects as her mother’s cooking, her sister’s religious conversion and how one person’s creative process can support that of another. The following in an interview with choreographer, director and performer, Sally Nash: RAAC: Can you talk about the content of this dance? SN: “I used the subject of mail as the basis of the dance because it is both universal and very particular, and it comes in small units that can be used episodically. Like different colored beads on a necklace, they give the piece a shape by the order in which they’re arranged. “I didn’t realize when I started how important mail is to me. It has a kind of mysterious importance that’s emphasized by living in the country. We’re so isolated; it’s one of our contacts with the outside world. And, to me, it’s always been magic. It has the power of the printed word, and yet it’s just for you. I value those words (from letters) a lot, so it was very gratifying to chew them over and find different expressions that were related to them.” RAAC: How long have you been working on this piece?. SN: “I have worked two years on it, six months of which was alone (the remainder choreographing with the dancers and then rehearsing) which includes months of going through old letters and picking out the ones I was going to use and retyping them. There’s a lot more text tnan i used, in tact, tnere are some i strange things I’d like to do that I i haven’t done. One is to do something j on junk mail and another is to do ’ something on postal regulations.” RAAC: What has been particularly difficult about creating “Box 48”? SN: “Working with mostly new dancers has been a little scary, since I don’t have much sense about how fast they’ll develop or how stable a group they’ll be — how long I’ll be able to keep peace in the repertory. Most of my previous work has basically been lost. It’s on video, it’s not irretrievable, but when you have to teach a whole new group of people an old dance, you don’t do that very often.” RAAC: What has been the most rewarding? SN: “I am turned on by the efficiency and expressiveness that I see in the movement of untrained dancers, and, at the other end of the spectrum, in dancers with enough experience to be able to make choices about their movement that aren’t influenced by the style of their training. This piece has both; it blends them in a way that pleases me. “Working with a local composer has been great, too. In the past there’s always been a lot of juggling to get the composer together with the dancers and then with me, driving to D.C. or meeting halfway in Warrenton. (For “Box 48”) we made a video of the dance and Tom (Espinola) watched it over and over, accompanying it on his synthesizer. He has a great eye and has composed music for dance, which makes a difference. (Tom Espinola has also written or arranged pieces for classical orchestras, chamber ensembles, jazz, film scores and National Public Radio. He’s been performing on guitar and mandolin for 20 years and teaching music for 12.) “Another rewarding aspect of the piece has been the support the dancers have given. They’ve been willing to try every foot, every direction, every facing, over and over.

Poll gives Baliles lead — but not in this area By LAWRENCE EMERSON Arundel Newepnpera Staff Writer Democrat Gerald L. Baliles has a six-point lead over Republican Wyatt B. Durrette in the race for governor, but one in four voters remains undecided, according to a new statewide poll. Commissioned by The Rappahannock News and other newspapers, the telephone poll of 825 registered Virginia voters was conducted Sept. 16-21. Of those responding, 41 percent supported Mr. Baliles to 35 percent for Mr. Durrette, with 24 percent undecided. The poll, conducted by MasonDixon Opinion Research Inc., of Columbia, Md., has a 3.5 percent margin of error. While Mr. Durrette’s statewide support has slipped four points — from 39 percent in July, he leads in this region of the state, according to the most recent poll. Mr. Durrette leads Mr. Baliles: • 44 percent to 32 percent in the Central Piedmont region (including Rappahannock, Fauquier and Culpeper counties). • 42 to 35 in Northern Virginia (including Loudoun, Prince William and Stafford counties). • 47 to 33 in the Shenandoah region (including Clarke and Warren counties). But the poll gives Mr. Baliles the lead in six of nine regions of the state and in seven of Virginia’s 10 congessional districts. Mr. Durrette leads in the 7th (including Rappahannock), 8th and 10th congressional districts. Mr. Baliles’ support is unchanged since the last poll in July and up 1 percent, from 40, since June. Noting the large percentage of undecided voters, Mason-Dixon pollsters said the electorate “is still extremely volatile and is just beginning to focus on the state races.” Statewide, 35 percent of the voters polled said they didn't know enough about the two gubernatorial candidates to gauge their differences on political philosophy. Asked to identify the major issue in the state campaign, 50 percent of the poll respondents could not define one. Education, the top response, was named by only 14 percent of those polled and 12 percent mentioned roads. Mr. Baliles’ three-week head start in intensive television advertisements — his began at the end of August —- “may be responsible for success, as our poll shows that if the election were held today, Baliles would have a 41 percent to 35 percent edge over Durrette,” MasonDixon analysts said. Democratic Gov. Charles S. Robb also may be a factor in Mr. Baliles’ favor. Asked whose endorsement would have more influence on their voting preference, 45 percent of the respondents said Gov. Robb would have more influence with them than President Ronald Reagan, a Republican. Twenty-three percent said President Reagan’s endorsement would have more influence with them, and 30 percent said personal endorsements would have no real effect on their voting.

See it today. with women (46 percent to 32 percent) and blacks (71-10), while Mr. Durrette leads with men (38-36) and whites (42-34). Chichester leads The poll gives Republican state Sen. John H. Chichester of Stafford County a five-point lead over state Sen. L. Douglas Wilder of Richmond in the contest for lieutenant governor, but that race has become much tighter. Of 825 respondents, 37 percent supported Mr. Chichester and 32 percent supported Mr. Wilder. Mason-Dixon polls gave Mr. Chichester a 42-29 lead in June and a 42-31 edge in July. Thirty percent of the voters remain undecided about the race for lieutenant governor, according to the September poll. V "The race for attorney general is wide open. The race is basically even in most of Virginia’ —Mason-Dixon Mr. Wilder’s 3,500-mile campaign tour of the state by car probably has helped his effort, according to Mason-Dixon poll analysts. “Evidence that there is stagnation in the Chichester campaign is found in the fact that the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor has shown no increase in his statewide name recognition since securing the nomination,” the poll analysts said. “In May, Chichester’s name recognition was 27 percent statewide. In September, it had only increased to 32 percent. . . Chichester’s name recognition is lower than any (other) candidate for statewide office.” Meanwhile, Mr. Wilder has increased his name recognition only four poiqts, from 47 percent to 51 percent. Still, that’s 20 percent higher than Chichester’s, the pollsters noted. As in the governor’s race, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor has the edge in this region. The recent poll gives Mr. Chichester advantages of: • 46 percent to 27 percent in the Central Piedmont region (including Rappahannock, Fauquier and Culpeper counties). • 39 to 31 in Northern Virginia (including Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties). • 40 to 25 in the Shenandoah region (including Clarke and Warren counties). He also leads in the Eastern Shore/Northem Neck region, in the Richmond Metro area and in the Roanoke Lynchburg area, according to the poll. The poll gives Mr. Wilder the edge in Tidewater, Southside and Southwestern Virginia. Mr. Chichester leads among men (43 percent to 30 percent) and whites (45 to 20), while Mr. Wilder leads among women (34 to 33) and blacks (80 to 6), according to the poll. Candidates even The contest for attorney general is the closest of the statewide races this fall, according to the MasonDixon poll. Those responding to the poll gave Democrat Mary Sue Terry a slight edge, 34 percent to 32 percent, over Republican W.R. “Buster” O’Brien. Thirty-three percent of the voters polled said they are undecided. Mr. O’Brien, a House of Delegates member from Virginia Beach, leads: • 33 percent to 30 percent in the Central Piedmont region (including Rappahannock, Fauquier and Culpeper counties). • 38 to 32 in the Shenandoah region (including Clarke and Warren counties). In Northern Virginia (including Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties), the candidates are even at 33 percent apiece. The poll also found the candidates running even at 32 percent in the Roanoke/Lynchburg region. Miss Terry, a delegate from Patrick County, has an edge in Tidewater, Southside and Southwestern Virginia, while Mr. O’Brien also a has 36-33 lead in the Richmond Metro area, according to poll results. Miss Terry’s support has increased slightly to 34 percent, from 31 percent in the June poll and 33 percent in July. Mr. O’Brien has drawn 32 percent in each of the three polls. The September poll gives Mr. O’Brien the edge among men (38 percent to 30 percent) and among whites (35 to 28), while Miss Terry leads among women (38 to 27) and among blacks (57 to 19). “The race for attorney general remains wide open,” Mason-Dixon analysts said. “The race is basically even in most of Virginia. Terry holds a 41 percent to 28 percent lead in Southside, which includes her home district. O’Brien runs well in his home of Virginia Beach, but his strength is offset by Terry’s support in Democratic Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Cheasapeake and Suffolk, so that he is denied a lead in his home region of Tidewater. “O’Brien holds an edge in the more Republican-oriented Shenandoah region, and his strength in the suburban counties of Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico enable him to have an advantage in the Richmond Metro area.” {ou/fiefb&r ^yflotor docwfitswi/i<m Sdrutoa nces dT/iursda/y, 0c1o/sev 3rd as lJie>, //ioadny o^T/ie ^y’Vew 1986dPan/iac and9t. < ff.

Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation V_____J THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3,1985 Editorials The American way We find it incredible that voter registration is moving at such a snail’s pace when so much is at stake come Nov. 5. Voters in the Old Dominion will not only replace their most powerful elected official in the gubernatorial race, but also pick a lieutenant governor. In addition, Virginians will name their choice for the most powerful law enforcement executive, the attorney general. And that will be done in a 13-hour period in one day. Yet, the reaction — the response — to such a weighty decision has been largely ignored. Rappahannock Registrar Ruth B. Kilby estimates that only about two-thirds of the eligible population will be permitted to complete a ballot next month: The others have not completed a simple registration procedure necessary to carry out one of this nation’s most fought-for rights — the right to vote. It is easy to complain, easy to whine about the quality of government enacting laws on our behalf. It is easy to arm-chair quarterback. But there is only one day of the year when we can truly and directly affect a change in our government. And all that is needed to prepared for such a duty is to report to the registrar before Saturday afternoon. If you have any questions about the registration process, call Ruth Kilby at 675-3739. After all, it is better to ask a question now and vote Nov. 5, than to moan and groan later about the politician somebody else elected to power. Monday’s hearing In the same spirit of speak out now while the chance is available, we remind our readers of a public hearing scheduled Monday at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School auditorium. The subject of that hearing—the possible adoption of a revised county-wide zoning ordinance — is of great concern to nearly every Rappahannock landowner. A copy of that ordinance is available for reading in the county clerk’s office; one is on sale at cost in the county treasurer’s office. We urge those with something to say, those with a suggestion, to come out Monday night and speak that message. The county’s supervisors will be on hand to hear public input before voting on the adoption of that ordinance. That vote must, by law, be taken in a meeting open to the public. But the time to speak out is at hand, at Monday’s hearing. rRappahannock heritage A view from Snead's Orchard We may as well issue warnings to 6Scoobie-Doo’ viewers, too By EUGENE J. McCARTHY Rappahannock News contributing writer I note that there is a movement, inspired, it seems, principally by wives of members of congress, to set up a rating or censorship procedure for rock music. There are, it seems, bad words or thoughts beneath or amid all the noise and shouting that make up rock. The proposal is that a warning be put on the record or tape, something like that on cigarette packages and comparable to the rating system used on movies. Just what the code will be has not yet been made public. If the proposal carries, I anticipate the warnings will have to be given in broadcasts of rock programs, and in radio programs, advising that the sound should be turned down on a record coming up if there are persons under 21, under 16 or under 10 in the room. Young audiences would be advised that they may listen to the record if their parents are present and ready to give explanations and guidance, as they are supposed to do about some movies. I don’t have any strong feelings about this rating system. I don’t feel it would have much effect on those who are attracted to rock music. It could, of course, spread to country music, banning, or at least warning against some songs like Eugene J. McCarthy, author, poet and former U.S. Senator from Minnesota and former presidential candidate, now lives in the F.T. Valley near Slate Mills. “The Gambler,” or “The Coward of the County” or the one about “lipstick on my bowling shirt” or the one with the refrain, “Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus; Everyone wants to be the number one singer in the band,” as reflecting on religion. Television has long carried warnings about programs about to be presented, something akin to those imagined by Yeats for those who might enter the Sistine Chapel while Michelangelo who was working on the ceiling. “Close the door to the pope's chapel, put the children out.” The television warnings advise that forthcoming scenes may be too much for young eyes and minds. Some are. But I have yet to see a warning for children or adults to beware of the advertisements about to be shown, that they might be vulgar, obscene, show disrespect for religion, even ridicule. I was struck by this last week, after watching Dan Rather show great compassion for the victims of the earthquake in Mexico City, finish the evening news with a deeply religious reflection on the meaning of life and death in Mexico City. His reflection was preceded by an advertisement for hemorrohoidal relief and was followed immediately t.’ an advertisement featuring a man in a Roman collar, presumably a priest, demonstrating the virtues of Polident for cleaning and whitening false teeth. Here, too, as in the case of the rating system for rock music warnings, I have no certain position. But if we are going to get into warnings and admonitions of what can and cannot be safely watched or heard, I have an opinion. I would place as important advance warning that some programs to be presented should not be watched by policemen or law enforcement officers. I suspect that the bombing of the MOVE group in Philadelphia may well have been encouraged by police officers watching television lawmen using helicopters in their protective maneuvers. Patrolmen in automobiles certainly must be encouraged to recklessly pursue by watching the almost nightly automobile chases through the streets of major cities, and possibly are encouraged to shoo by the quick and ready use of guns by both male and female television police officers. Other programs might well depress regular policemen or force detectives, who are presented as relatively, if not absolutely, stupid and regularly saved from folly by th< brilliance of private detectives. Sheriffs, too, probably should be forewarned, as their image on television is that of someone even more stupid than city police, that is, since the demise of “The Andy Griffith Show.” It follows, then, that doctors should be warned against shows like “General Hospital,” and lawyers against “People’s Court.” As I no longer have small children at home, I have personally concentrated my efforts on my dog, Molly, whom I have banned from watching a Saturday morning program called “Scoobie-Doo,” which features a dog that could potentially encourage vices, such as cowardice and gluttony, in dog viewers. off the cuff Paul McFarlane This is getting ridiculous. I have always fancied myself a good math student: scored well on that portion of the college entrance exam, learned to tell time in the first grade, survived ninthgrade algebra without suffering a nervous breakdown. Spanish and marching band brought different results, but math, I could handle. Yet, it confounds me when I try to balance my checkbook. The thing never works out. The bank’s records and my records are seldom in the same area code. Like this weekend, for instance, I went back over the last three months of unrecorded checks to see just how much money I didn’t have only to discover I was missing $35 more. Balancing a checkbook is simple addition — mostly subtraction — but I can’t seem to get it right. Which, of course, in its natural flow of Big bucks events, brings us to the true purpose of this column: dating. Dating, like visits to the dentist and gym class physicals — and balancing checkbooks, I suppose — is somebody’s idea of a bad joke; necessary, perhaps, but certainly not the No. 1 brainstorm of the decade. Dating has never been fair, regardless of what women tell you. Let’s face some facts here. Women, through the centuries, have never been asked to partake in the difficult part of the dating process. It has been the man’s duty to initiate all the contact. I think it goes back to Adam and his being relentlessly henpecked in the garden of Eden, that place which harvested nothing but trouble for men ever since. Over the years, it has always been the woman who waited at home, just to , have the guy call, drive his car and bum his gasoline, meet dad for the first time in a moment of anxiety exceeded by no known physical torture to be permitted the honor of spending his hard-earned cash to take her somewhere he really didn’t want to go in the first place. Accepting a date should be compulsory. After all, all the girl has to do is go along. It’s not her money, her gas and it is her father and she’s already met him before. I really do blame Eve, who took advantage of a poor fellow who could get no other date. But that’s just a small part of this sordid game. In high school and even in college, dating was fun. It was easy. There were lab partners, locker neighbors, friends of a friend, classmates. The list of possible dates goes on,ad nauseum. Even for those local high school kids who complain about having to leave the county to find anything to do should be told how easy dating really is at that age. Wait until they get older. Let’s go to the movies. That was all the detail the plan needed. Plain, simple, direct. With objective and time frame. Let’s go to the movies. Anything beyond that could be winged at the last minute. But now, some 10 years and one reunion after high school, that process is cluttered. That is, I suspect, because I am older. So are many of the girls who fall into the category of possible dating companions. Someone my age gets in trouble asking a high school senior to go to the movies. It is a problem shared by quite a number of single people my age, I discovered after discussions with my high school cronies who are also on the loose. More detailed planning of dates is needed. If you suggest, “Let’s go to the movies,” the response is, “Then what?” “Well, I don’t know. You could try fixing the brakes on my car that squeak like a Newark, N.J. dump truck.” Or, “You can balance my checkbook if you’d like. Bring your own calculator and pencil.” The brakes still squeak and I’ve already told you about my finances. Not only is planning necessary for the date itself, but solid planning and reconnaissance is vital before asking for a date. I’ve found that some men become angry if you ask out their wives. Boyfriends aren’t too keen on the idea of asking out their girlfriends. These things have to be planned, you see. Today, there are different levels of involvement. A girl could be “seeing someone,” simply “dating,” “going with someone,” “engaged” or “married with six kids and four cats.” Then, people my age also run into that group of people who are either “separated” or “divorced,” a selection which fills with applicants by the day, I’m sorry to report. It has turned into a quagmire. I have also discovered a few facts about dating, learned from my mistakes in these dark days that I’d like to pass along, perhaps saving some other poor slob the embarrassment I endured. For instance, single men seeking the company of an eligible women should avoid those members of the fairer sex who: - drive a station wagon. - spend hours patrolling the baby care section of the supermarket, shopping comparatively. - have tattoos and wear lots of leather. - wear football cleats to church. - are in line in front of you, wraiting to buy a baby car seat. - became five-time widow. - hold hands with mammoth-looking men. - hold hands with other women. - wash mens’ shorts at the laundromat. But planning the date is still the most awful part. To me, fun is more enjoyable when it is spontaneous, done without all this cumbersome planning. Ever notice how most Super Bowls are boring? Or most college basketball finals? That’s because the planning and media hype start in about November and wear out everybody well ahead of time. I hate New Year’s Eve parties. Haven’t been to one that’s worth anything. I like to open Christmas presents early, say, the day after Thanksgiving. Christmas morning is such a letdown after all these preparations. Parades bore me, especially those in which I’ve marched. It is that same thinking, I suppose, which led me to skip my senior class prom, that Super Bowl of dates. I refused to go because it required extensive planning: renting the tuxedo, the pre-prom party, the post-prom party, the post-post-prom party at the beach. All of that. I also didn’t go because my best friend, Dennis, asked out Donna, the cutest girl in school before I could. He asked her early. Like September. Of his sophomore year. Now that was planning. It serves him right that he didn’t have that great a time. And that’s not even to mention just the planning necessary to call to ask out somebody. The variables are staggering. Could I be calling in the middle of dinner? Has she gone to bed yet. Is she a Falcon Crest fan. What time it that on? Did she just return from a date? What if her husband answers? Did she buy that car seat for herself? Well, what the hay? I probably don’t have enough money in my checking account to do anything worthwhile anyway. Instead, maybe I can take another look at those squeaking brakes

Racial risks V irginians had a rare opportunity last week to observe, with stunning clarity, the dynamics of change in the politics of the Old Dominion. That change was illustrated by two events which transpired about 80 miles apart in space, but which might have appeared to have occurred a quarter century or more apart in time. The first of these took place in Richmond. It was the opening of the spectacular new Sixth Street Marketplace complex with its symbolic bridge spanning Broad Street in the city’s downtown. Many people don’t know about Broad Street and its symbolism. In the old days of segregation the south side of the street belonged to the whites while the north side was mainly the province of the blacks. The south side boasted the glittering Miller & Rhoads and Thalheimer’s department stores. It was lined with stylish shops, hotels and restaurants, all pristinely segregated. The north side had the cheaper stores, motion picture theaters (blacks could sit in the balconies of some of them) and black business establishments. Whites delicately referred to the “right side” and “wrong side” of Broad Street when such a distinction had to be made. There wasn’t much doubt about which was which. But in Richmond last week white and black citizens joyously mingled as a ribbon was cut opening the Marketplace and the bridge over the street. Gov. Chuck Robb, Richmond Renaissance Chairman T. Justin Moore, Mayor Roy A. West and others spoke of the deep symbolism involved. Old-time Richmonders, black and white, remembered. For many, that bridge, at last, represented the dawning of a new day for the city and the commonwealth. A cultural and ethnic chasm was at last closed. But that same day in Farmville other things were happening which were a throwback to the era the crowds in Richmond were trying to put behind them. Former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr. was giving Republican candidate for governor Wyatt B. Durrette a tour of the Southside. At the home of Josiah Bunting, president of Hampden-Sydney College, Godwin suddenly fell into a line of campaign rhetoric which he seems to find hard to resist when he is talking to crowds of like-minded citizens. He launched an attack on Durrette’s Democratic opponent, Gerald L. Baliles, by assailing Baliles’ running mate, lieutenant governor candidate L. Douglas Wilder, who is black. “I have a hard time seeing how Jerry Baliles could espouse the record of this man!” declaimed Godwin. “Why, he actually introduced a bill to repeal the state song. He wanted to repeal Carry Me Back To Old Virginnyl And with that, intended or not, Godwin rang the racial gong in the 1986 campaign. Wilder did, indeed, introduce such a bill in 1970. The measure obviously got nowhere. He objected to the song because its context is that of a former slave remembering with nostalgia his days of servitude. Wilder also noted that certain words in the song, “Ole Massa” and “this old darkey,” would be offensive to contemporary blacks. The song, its defenders note, was composed by James A. Bland, a noted black songwriter. But that is all beside the point. The point is that Godwin has once more let his natural inclinations get the better of him and, whether it was intentional or not, has done what many Southside politicians do best. He has skillfully reminded his audience that Durette’s opponent has a black man for a running mate. The Godwin pitch on Durrette’s behalf was as strong, though a bit less strident, than was the one he made for Marshall Coleman in 1981. On that occasion he solidified support for Coleman’s opponent, then Lt. Gov. Chuck Robb. He unsuccessfully tried to saddle Robb with a number of voting and other reform proposals which were supported by blacks but opposed by most of the conservative white electorate. Whatever other effects Godwin’s attack on Wilder may have, they are sending shudders through much of the GOP. Most of the party’s leaders are convinced that there is more political profit in working with the new black leaders who are helping make things like the Sixth Street Marketplace possible than there is in firing up the good old boys in Farmville and sending thousands of blacks to the polls to vote for Babies. For most Virginians, that kind of black magic has been dying for a quarter of a century, and now, gratefully, is little more than a relic of the way things used to be in “Ole Virginny.” This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 35 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Sept. 28, 1950 edition A caution light has been installed on the comer of Main and Middle streets in Washington.

St., Front Royal Society adopted the rule that men aren't supposed to cry outwardly. So they cry inwardly. You'd be surprised how often! They say there's nothing wrong with a good cry — outward or inward. That's true as long as you wipe away your tears ready to carry on with courage, and a good idea of what God wonts you to do. The Bible makes many references to tears and weeping. But it keeps pointing to God as our source of comfort and guidance in every trial. Search every day your Bible's answers to the challenges of life. This week study Revelations 21:4 for its assurances of strength and hope. Each Sunday in Church join the millions for whom faith is replacing the crying towel.

Estabrook lives in Sperryville. Harpers rerry, that historically famous town in West Virginia where the Potomac breaks through the Blue Ridge Mountains and meets the Shenandoah River in a wide, sweeping curve between tree-covered hills, this is where we find — Doris and Frank Donald! They walked and walked, covering all the grounds where the Confederate troops walked, and then the Union soldiers walked — back and forth, back and forth, occupying and abandoning, in the Rebel’s hands, in the Yankee’s hands — the poor little townspeople didn’t know what was happening to them! Well, anyway, Frank and Doris sure enjoyed themselves until Frank had enough walking, and said, “Let’s go!” The end. Frank and Doris spent the weekend in Colesville, Md. with their daughter, Margaret, her husband, Stephen McCauley, and all the grandchildren. They simply adored the antics of the youngest one, 16 1/2 month old Sara, who was playing make-believe, “blow dry your hair,” in front of the fireplace.

SOUTHERN GOSPEL LINE-UP THE TALLEYS with Evangelist Steve Messick Friday, October 11,1985 7:00 p.m. Warren County High School Front Royal, Virginia THE SINGING GREENES Saturday, October 12,1985 7:30 p.m. Open Door Baptist Church Culpeper, Virginia (*There is no admission; a love offering will be taken.) The 29th Annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale will be held on Oct. 19 and 20. Houses will be open from 11 a. m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1-5 p.m. on Sunday. One of the houses to be shown is “Greenwood Farm” located in Gid Brown Hollow, 1.5 miles north of Rediviva on Route 211. Greenwood originated prior to 1749 when it was part of the original Fairfax Grant. The present house was built by Gideon (Gid) Brown in the 1840s, replacing the original that burned. The construction is of pine brought from North Carolina to the Kimbal/Elgin railroad station in the Shenandoah Valley near Luray, and from there across the mountain by ox cart. The existing floors, woodwork and beams are all original. After completion of the house, Gid Brown brought his young neice, Elizabeth Williams, here from Missouri where her parents had died. He raised her as his own daughter. Elizabeth married Dr. Brook Miller and the property remained in the Brown/Miller family until it was bought by Col. and Mrs. Evan McNear in 1960. By that time, the woods had encroached on the house and Col. McNear cleared them to the stone fences seen to the south and west. The house is a fine example of Greek revival architecture and, with the exception of the indoor kitchen added during World War I and the two baths added by the McNears, is as originally built. It boasts seven operating fire places, each with its distinctive facade, and nine outside doors. The number of doors is common for the period to provide rapid egress in the event of fire. On the south porch remains one of the orginal gas lamps that were fed from a gas well on the property. Off the southwest corner is the old kitchen house, now an apartment, with walls of 18” pine. A few hundred yards east of the house, on a small rise, is the family burial plot enclosed in field stone walls, were Elizabeth Miller is buried. Greenwood is a working cattle farm managed by Richard McNear and specializing in “cow-calf’ operations crossbreeding Angus, Charolais and Chianina stock. The house contains many fine antiques, contemporary furnishings and memorabilia from Europe and r the Orient collected during Col. McNear’s 30 years of Army service. He retired in 1968 as post commander of Vint Hill Farms Station outside Warrenton. Additional houses to be shown are “Rush River House,” home of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene S. Leggett in Harris Hollow, and “Meadow Grove,” home of Mr. and Mrs. James Fletcher Massie on Route 729, three miles south of Ben Venue. Tea will be served both afternoons at Ben Venue. Tickets are $5 for all three houses and tea or $2 for individual houses, and may be obtained at the tour houses or Tour Headquarters, Parish Hall, Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington. Also open during the tour will be Miss Ruby Jenkins’ Washington Museum, featured in the December 1984 issue of The Virginian Magazine and the January 1985 issue of Country Magazine, the Rappahannock Historical Society Building and the Rappahannock Library.

> J 1 '-'V VV/l/VI ^7, I Karen Jordan quietly tops 1,000 points By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Karen Jordan may be the best kept secret in the Bull Run District. And that should be unusual. After all, the 5-8 senior topped the 1,000-point total shortly into her fourth year playing girls’ basketball for Rappahannock Count v High School. And she has been named to the all-district team in each of her last two seasons. But in the Bull Run District — which includes eight schools situated from the city-atmosphere of inside the Capital Beltway to the rural Shenandoah Valley — publicity does not come easily. Whether competing for attention with college or professional sports, or simply competing with bigger high schools in the same town, athletes of the Group A schools — the smallest division classified by the Virginia High School League — simply do not get the media attention afforded other areas. And in Rappahannock County, the only area of the district not served by at least one daily newspaper, that vacuum worsens. And when you play for a team that in three years has never advanced beyond the first round of the playoffs, the spotlight is seldom yours. But, then again, the athletic vui ""’•elv shines on Huntly ■-> Panther senioi scored an inca*c.. lumber o points on her gravel, driveway courl practicing for the night she woulc top that hallmark as a varsity bas ketball player. So, when the crowd at Rappahannock County High School stood to applaud the only girl ever tc score that many points, “everything just came out. That made up for all the hard work,” she said.

Rappahannock losing streak hits 4 straight in district Kappahannoek girls basketball coach Joel Voorhees says it is time for his team to turn around its misfortunes. The Panthers left Tuesday afternoon for three straight district road games just when the team needed to reverse its 1-4 district record, including four consecutive Bull Run losses. “This could tell the story’," says first-year coach Voorhees of the three-game stretch. If the Panthers cannot start winning district games, “it could be a long way the rest of the season," warns the coach. Rappahannock was to travel to Stonewall Jackson on Tuesday, then play at Brentsville tonight and at Manassas Park Tuesday. The Panthers also face Bull Run District foe Page County Oct. 10 at home. If Rappahannock could play only a non-district schedule, the outlook would be much brighter. The Panthers are 2-0 in their non-district schedule and stood at 3-4 overall heading into. Tuesday game at Stonewall. But against the Bull Run teams, life hasn t been quite so wonderful.

Instead, the visiting Mustangs turned a four-point deficit into a onepoint lead going into the fourth quarter and could have made the score more lopsided, had it not been for r the 38 percent George Mason free throw shooting. Rappahannock, meanwhile, shot 75 percent from the line. Karen Jordan led the scoring for the Panthers, hitting for 29 points. Teammates Tammy and Natalie Butler each added eight points and Wendy “Bean” Stringfellow added six. Against Strasburg, one of the district’s leading teams, Jordan again led the offense with 19 points, Penny Atkins adding six. AJso, said the coach, “We’ve lost three games we should have won — no problem.” ALL SILVER REPLATIN6 REDUCED 25% No charge for straightening* DURING OCTOBER ONLY Make YOUR old Silver look like NEW!

Sports results at Wakefield By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer Wakefield opened its home season for the varsity soccer team against perennial rival Randolph Macon Academy, a team which had trounced Wakefield in the two meetings of the previous season. With numerous observers cheering on the sidelines, the two teams fought valiantly through the first half until David Rowzie, of Amissville, scored on a penalty kick to give Wakefield a 10 halftime lead. As the second half began, RMA rebounded as theyHoo scored on a penalty kick to knot the score at 1-1. However, with nearly 10 minutes remaining in the game, Ed McGushin, of Haymarket, slipped a long shot into the comer of the goal to give Wakefield a 2-1 lead. With excellent play from goalie Jeff Reid, of Front Royal, and sweeper Jerry McDowell, of Warrenton, Wakefield held on to capture the 2-1 victory. Although it would be difficult to capture the same intensity in other planned games of the season, the team anxiously awaits the two games scheduled for this week against Seton School and the always tough Rappahannock team in the school’s homecoming game, which is scheduled for Oct. 5 at 2 p.m. The public is invited to attend the game, which will be played on Wakefield’s new north field. The Wakefield varsity field hockey team held their second home game of the season this week against St. James School, of Hagarstown, Md. In the first half of play, the Saints challenged Wakefield’s offense and defense with their dexterious stickwork and the Saints’ persistent offense managed to slide two goals past Wakefield’s solid defense. The second half of play was characterized by a series of impressive fast breaks on the part of Wakefield’s offense with several strong attempts on the Saints’ goal. The game was an exciting one to watch with the line drives back and forth between the defenses and a last minute goal by the Saints. The Wakefield Hooters were not disappointed with their loss to the more experienced Saints. They view the match as good preparation for the upcoming match against Fauquier High School this week. Wakefield's newly formed cross country squad had their first two matches ever this past week. In the first meet, the squad competed against other schools in the Delaney Athletic Conference at the Loudoun County campus of NOVA. The Wakefield team placed second with runners Stephen Butler, of Marshall, Brad Pendergraph, of Haymarket, and Jason Walker, of Haymarket, placing third, seventh and 13th respectively in the field of 27 runners. The second meet against Rappahannock and Clarke counties took place at Rappahannock. The Wake field squad, made up of five runners, placed third after a close battle with Clarke County for second place. Top runner Allen Grimm, of Front Royal, led the squad, coming in third. Other Wakefield runners, Butler, Pendergraph and Walker, came in 10th, 12th and 15th respectively. The squad, which is currently in second place in the Delaney Conference, is working hard. They run 20 minutes every day after school followed by wind sprints and run-walks to build endurance. Coach Gary Leake commented that the team is working hard and improving every day. Another new edition to Wakefield’s sports roster, the girls’ volleyball team, played their first match this week. The team members commented that they owe their existence to the individual players and to Coach Cindy Baker. Some players are well-experienced and others are new to the sport, but all the players have enthusiasm and are willing to devote the time necessary to practice. In the match this week, the girls faced the Randolph Macon Academy team. The Wakefield team lost to the RMA Yellow Jackets by a score of 3-1, but were thrilled that they were able to win a game in their first match.

Wakefield to hold home c o ruing ay *1UL,UIN KU1SI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Wakefield School in Huntly will hold its homecoming on Oct. 4 and 5. The festivities will begin Friday afternoon with a pep rally for all students during which the homecoming queen and her court will be announced. Friday evening there will be a bonfire at the school where the seniors will carry on the tradition of burning a large “W.” On Saturday, the varsity soccer team will host Rappahannock in a match that is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Following the match, there will be a reception at the home of Mrs. Lynn, Sr. for the Alumni. Saturday evening there will be a homecoming dance. The public is invited to attend the game, which will be held on the school s new north field. Students travel to Renaissance Festival Several students from Wakefield traveled to the Maryland Renaissance Festival last weekend for a day of merry-making combined with lessons in British history. The Wakefield turnout was even larger than last year’s with several faculty members and students arriving in costume while other members of the group were decorated by the face painter once they arrived at the festival. The muddy conditions left in the wake of Hurricane Gloria were perfect for the mud wrestlers! One wTestler was paid to grovel at the feet of faculty member Lee Buratti while other wrestlers kissed the toes and ankles of several Wakefield students. The students learned about traditional English food and wares. They sampled the roasted turkey legs, Canterbury pork pockets, ale and mead and had an opportunity to visit the leather stalls, herbalists and armorers. Entertainment was provided by gypsy dancers, fortune tellers, jousters and healers. The students attending agreed that the day was both entertaining and educational providing students with new insight into the British way of life. Contributor to article: Tara Welty.

Day * OUTSIDE WALLS When buying a home, one of your future maintenance considerations must be the exterior walls. Brick and stone walls are the most durable and maintenance-free. They’ll withstand the test of time. The historic castles of Europe are good examples of durability. They resist the effects of weather and are fire and termite proof. The primary disadvantage is the cost of construction. Cement block walls generally cost less to install, however, many people do not consider them esthetically appealing and they might need painting. Wood walls and siding, including lap siding, shingles and shakes, are less expensive to install. Although less durable than masonry, they are easy to work with and are an excellent insulation material. However, painting or restaining is required and wood is subject to termite and water damage. Aluminum siding is impervious to insects and resists most weather damage. It also resists fire and rotting and is sometimes cheaper than wood siding. However, it can fade and dent and should be grounded in the event of electrical storms. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Each bottle Continued from page 1 Two weeks before he thinks harvest should begin, Dirgham checks the grapes every other day until he determines the exact day picking should begin. The Salahis, their children and 20 to 00 other people harvest the grapes by hand as fast as possible so the grapes will yield the best wine. “We have a wonderful time during harvest,” Dirgham said. “The Jamaicans we hire sing and chant and the grapes are so beautiful. It is also a lot of work. We always say we are married to the winery at harvest time." After the grapes are harvested, they are poured into a stemmer crusher that separates the stems and skins from the grape. White grapes are then placed in a press that can hold three and a half tons at one time where the juice is squeezed into a tank. The juice is transferred to refrigerated tanks overnight so sediment can settle to. the bottom. Fermentation of the clear juice begins the next day as yeast is added. “We use different yeasts for different grapes, and we ferment at a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees,” Dirgham said. “We ferment slowly to keep the aroma. ” The white wines are finished in two months and are released in April. The red grapes are separated from the stems and skins in the stem crusher, too. The grapes and their skins are combined and allowed to ferment at 86 degrees for a week so the grapes take on the red color. When the grapes are.fermented, they are pressed and the juice is aged in French oak barrels for six to eight months. The wines are then bottled and aged for four to five months before they are sold. The only white wine aged in oak barrels is Chardonnay, which is.aged in Lemoisine oak barrels for a short time. “We don’t over oak our Chardonnay like in California so that the fruity taste remains," Dirgham said. Besides oak barrels, the Salahis have concrete and stainless steel tanks for the fermentation and aging processes. Oasis is the only winery west of the Rockies using concrete tanks. “Our concrete tanks were made in Italy for us and are 5 1/2-inches thick,” Dirgham said. “The inside is covered to make it easier to clean, and they are much prettier than the stainless steel tanks.” The Salahis are using a new technology with their stainless steel tanks. Usually, jackets are used with the tanks to keep the wine cool. “We are using a new system without the jackets called heat exchanging,” Dirgham said. “In this system, the wine circulates from the tank, through a machine and back into the tank to keep it a certain tefnperature.” He said that heat exchanging keeps the wine at a constant, colder temperature and stabilizes the wine. “I set the machine for zero degrees, and the wine is kept at that temperature uniformly,” Dirgham said. “That means that whoever bu' s a bottle of my wine can keep it at. , temperature in their refrigerator without having sediment develop.” Sediment develops in wine when it is kept at a colder temperature than the temperature used by a wine-maker. The wines are bottled in French bottles after it passes through a fine filtration system from the tanks so there is no yeast in the final product. The bottles stand for a day before being turned upside down the next day to keep the cork in contact with the wine. ‘I consider a grape to be like a lady expecting a baby. A bottle of wine is like a child 1 am helping to mature.’ •Salahi The Salahis make French-style champagne besides red, white and rose wines. Two fermentations are required for the champagne. The grapes for champagne are crushed and pressed, and the juice is fermented first in the tanks where it is stabilized. Yeast and sugar are added, and the second fermentation begins. The champagne then spends at least a year aging in the bottle on its side. “We are experimenting now with a three-year minimum,” Dirgham said. After a year, the bottles are turned upside down and “riddled” twice a day for five months. “Riddling” means turning the bottles one-sixteenth of a turn, which causes the sediment to gather at the neck. “I then open one of the bottles to check whether or not it is good,” Dirgham said. “If it’s good, we freeze one inch of each of the bottles’ necks, turn the bottles upside down and the frozen sediment kicks out.” If the champagne is dry, the bottles are corked and the champagne is ready. Extra dry champagne is made when each champagne-maker adds his own secret, sweetener recipe before the bottles are corked. “We are the first Virginia winery to win a gold medal in international competition for pur French-style champagne last year, so you know I protect my recipe,” Dirgham said. 1 " 11 ""1 The finished product ALL SILVER REPLATING REDUCED 25% No charge for straightening* DURING OCTOBER ONLY A 'BEFORE, AFTER Make YOUR old Silver look like NEW!

Lindsey Vision Center East Shirley Ave. 347-5895 Champagne is judged by its clarity in a glass, how fine the bubbles are and how the bubbles rise. “It should not bubble violently, but gradually and continuously from the bottom of the glass,’’ Dirgham said. “There should be bubbles until the last sip.” Oasis wines have been winning medals in competitions since 1980. By the middle of last year, every Oasis wine had won at least one medal, bringing the total medal count for the vineyard to 36. Research is one of the most important factors in the success of his and other American wineries. “Americans use research to find innovative, new ways to make wine, unlike Europeans who don’t want to change anything,” Dirgham said. “The palatte and the nose are important, but research is important, too.” In his lab, Dirgham checks the alcohol content of his wines and tests different blends. Before bottling, Dirgham has another unusual practice. He invites 10 amateur wine makers to taste samples from his various wines. They are not allowed to discuss thenviews before they mark their opinions of each sample. The group then holds a discussion and votes on the wines. Dirgham bottles according to the majority vote. “I figure that I’m not bottling according to my tastes, but according to a wider taste,” he said. He that this year should be one of the best for Virginia wines because of the amount of sunshine and dry weather. “There are 29 wineries in Virginia now, and all of us are pioneers because there is no one to tell us what to do like in Europe,” Dirgham said. “We’re lucky in Virginia, though, because when we have good weather, we have plenty of sugar, but we also have acidic soil. Nonacidic soil makes flat wines.” Work at the winery is year-round as the wines are monitored and the Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner DIRGHAM SALAHI tests his wine before it is bottled and labeled. winery is kept carefully clean to prevent contamination in the air. “A person must love making wine and enjoy the labor to make the best wine he can,” Dirgham said. “There are no monetary gains right away.” Dirgham still practices his first profession, geology, occasionally to support his love, wine-growing. “I consider a grape to be like a lady expecting a baby,” Dirgham said. “She nurtures the baby until it is mature, and a grape is that way to me. A bottle of wine is like a child I am helping to mature.” supporters of the winery. “We talk about the wine and teach visitors about wine, and we try not to be snobbish about the terms used in wine-making,” Dirgham said. “We try to help people appreciate wine, and that gives me the best feeling. In France, they wouldn’t get the opportunity to.meet winery owners.” The Salahis encourage visitors to spend a day at the winery. “We don’t want them to come, taste, buy and go,” Dirgham said. “We take them on tours, encourage them to use the picnic area outside and try to create an atmosphere for them to enjoy.” The vineyard is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 pjn., and visitors are welcome. The banquet and tasting rooms are available, free of charge. Q. Earl Yancey, C.PJK., P.C.

Leonardo da Vinci would have framed Mona Lisa’s smile with the gentle curves of the foothills. Claude Monet would have put on canvas his impressions of mountain laurel instead of water lilies. Picasso would have traded circus people for the apple pickers who work in the mountain slopes. “It seems everyone who comes here has to do landscapes,” said Margaret Novak, whose series of Blue Ridge pastels opens at the Middle St. Gallery Sunday. Novak is an abstract artist who has stepped away from her medium for the last three years to paint Double Top, Stoney Man, Old Rag and their sister peaks. “I couldn’t reach the local people with abstracts. I had a really strong feeling,” she added, touching her heart, “that I wanted to connect them, that I needed to connect them.” Her Blue Ridge Mountain series makes that connection. She taps into the subconscious of those whose dark morning moods are banished by a view of the mountains, those whose work-worries are erased by the vista that stretches across U.S. 211 to greet them as they return home, those whose jangled nerves are soothed by the final 10 minutes of color as the sun sets behind the Blue Ridge. familiarity, in Novaks paintings, brings a feeling of home. You can’t place her mountains exactly — Is that Jenkins or Red Oak? — but you know you’ve seen them before. Novak didn’t intend instant and sure recognition. While her paintings are representational, they are not absolute representations. Her mountains are hard to identify for two reasons, as she explained. “Number one, you have to adjust the picture to itself. I’m not an illustrator. I’m not a photographer. I’m creating a whole new thing.” As an example, Doubletop stands pristine and untouched by the hand of man, the little houses that dot its slopes brushed away, the picture adjusted to itself. “The most difficult part is taking things out,” Novak noted. “It takes courage to eliminate but you get strength that way.” The second reason that identification of her mountains is difficult is “the artist doesn’t pass on an experience. The artist passes on a feeling that comes from an experience.” “From time to time” now, she teaches “when I can get students,” said Novak, smiling. “I don’t advertise. I’m not the kind of teacher who goes step by step through how to paint. I like people who want to come and work, to be critiqued, to be helped,” she explained. Now that she’s completed her three-year Blue Ridge project, she’ll leave the mountains and pastels behind. “There was only one problem in working with pastels,” she said of the medium used just for the Blue Ridge paintings. “It’s a wonderful medium. You can experiment. You can take off and put on. They give you so much without a final commitment. The only problem is I probably gave myself lead poisoning. I have pastel dust inches deep all over my studio.” She said she won't return to the mountain landscapes, at least not for awhile. “I want to do print-making, large oils. If I can, I want to really let loose and let fly.” But the Blue Ridge will never be far from her work. “What comes (from this artist’s hand) is generally based on nature.” Margaret Novak’s pastels of Blue Ridge Mountain landscapes will hang at the Middle St. Gallery in Washington from Sunday through Nov. 1. The opening is scheduled for Sunday from 2-5 p. m.. Regular gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, noon to 5p.m. Sunday.

Hearing, Panthers meeting Monday A public hearing to discuss a proposed 1986 zoning ordinance is scheduled for Monday, 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School Auditorium. The proposed ordinance is said to contain few changes from the current ordinance adopted in 1973, but is written to be more legally binding, according to one of the authors of the proposal. The proposal is “more legally sufficient,” according to Dick McNear, a Fauquier County planner who lives in Rappahannock County and was recruited to draft the new ordinance. Said McNear: The “net effect” of the proposed ordinance is “probably not that different” from the ordinance passed 12 years ago. McNear said the latest efforts were to “re-draft the thing in a different format.” Copies of the proposal are available for $8 at the Rappahannock County Treasurer’s Office. On Monday morning, the county supervisors will hold their regular monthly meeting in the courthouse to cover an apparently light agenda. In addition to the routine matters, including receiving an update on the Sperryville sewer project from Wayne Cilimberg of the Rappahannock- Rapidan Planning District, supervisors are expected to discuss their options to insure county-owned property. Del Price is also expected to recommend to the supervisors a method of disposing of the county’s trash. The county landfill currently under use is expected to be filled by April. The supervisors are scheduled to meet at 10 a.m. in the county courthouse. ‘Weekend college’ offered at LFCC Transfer and technical courses will be offered on Friday nights and Saturday mornings at Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown beginning tomorrow. Courses in the “Weekend College” are primarily designed to provide college-level instruction which can transfer to a four-year institution. Registration for the courses is today and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30-9:30 a.m. The courses run to Nov. 23 and will be subject to enrollment. More information concerning dates, times and courses offered may be obtained by calling the school at 869-1120. Employment Continued from page 1 County (which is included in the local planning district commission) at 4.6 percent also rated slightly better than Rappahannock. The unemployment rate in Virginia was 5.3 percent, matching the local rate. Some 2,916,254 persons comprise the Virginia work force. The statewide figure for August 1985 is slightly lower than the July rate (5.8 percent) but higher than the same period a year ago when only 4/4 percent of Virginias could not find work. Nationally, some 8,051,000 persons were unable to find work in August, representing a 6.9 percent rate, lower than the 7.4 percent posted in July 1985 and down from the 7.3 percent recorded in August 1964. found, much to their surprise, that Jordan had already topped 1,000 points. The ceremony Sept. 23, which, at first announcement, was intended to witness the 1,000th point, became a testimonial to her six years’ of hard work. Karen Jordan will take it either way. After all, it is something she planned, a goal she set for herself. “I had confidence — I knew I could do it,” she says in an easy, relaxed manner representing a fullcourt pass away from being cocky. Setting goals — especially high ones — have just been a way of life. “I set goals as high as I could,” she says, then she would “go for it, go all out.” With those goals, Jordan has been able to take basketball beyond the court, beyond her gravel driveway — and even out of her basement, her substitute home court in case of bad weather — and out of the county. Basketball will more than likely be a big part of her college life beginning next fall. "My lift revolves around basketball,” she says. It hasn’t always been like that. She began playing ball in the sixth grade “for something to do,” in an after-school pick-up games. “My friend said, ‘Let’s stay.’ So we did.” Basketball may have been a new sport. Football, however, was not. “I was a tomboy,” she says now with a laugh. “Anything my brother could do, I felt I could do better.” That would be Anthony, now 23, who served as the athletic role model for kickball, baseball and football — “We played a lot of football,” she says. Her first dose of organized basketball was the 8th grade and the jayvee team which finished 12-4 the best record of any team Jordan has played on. The next year, she was playing varsity, and started compiling the points. The year after, her sophomore was the first of two consecutive all-district honors. And she continued the hard work at home: working on her jump shot “so it would become automatic” on the driveway court, working on moves against imaginary opponents, practicing rebounding by throwing the ball off the backboard and pretending to box-out. Or, when the weather forced her inside, she practiced one-on-one moves in the basement: against Boston, who doubled as the family dog and defensive specialist. "That’s when you can really work on your moves,” she says. She got help from other coaches [SEPTEMBER SONG. Washington, Vo. I area, Austrian VIEWS /rom this chalet on [hillside.

The contacts — and certainly her own talents — paid off. She’s received letters from more than a halfdozen schools about playing college basketball, including the University of North Carolina-Greensboro — “That’s where I want to go,” she says. Although she has been offered athletic scholarships, UNC-Greensboro, a Division II school, does not offer education in direct exchange for athletics. Still, the school is appealing to Jordan, who also maintains a 3.2 grade point average in addition to her scoring average. “They offer what I want,” she says. And “it will be good to get away from home.” “Home” includes rural living in Rappahannock where “you have to go to another county to do anything” except visit friends and shoot basketballs. “I’m happy that I grew up here,” she says, because it helped to instill “better values.” She would, however, welcome the change college can provide. She would also welcome a change in the team’s losing ways. Only once, in the 1984 campaign, did the team not suffer a losing record. And at that, last year's team only produced a.500 record. “The constant losing,” as she calls it, is something that will not be missed after high school. “We just don’t have enough girls” to stay competitive, particularly when some seniors who could play and contribute, decide against coming out for basketball. “It’s frustrating,” says Jordan. “Just when you think you’re going to have a good year, your senior year, there it goes.” Following the ceremony to honor Jordan, Rappahannock defeated Luray, 53-49 to even its record at 8-3, but turned around the next night to get bombed by Strasburg, “I think we could be competitive,” she says. “But I think our problem is that we don’t know how to win.” Jordan, a team leader, says one of the goals is to advance beyond the first round of the playoffs, a round that includes every district team. Can that be accomplished? “I Speriyville Realty SFERKYVILLE EMPORIUM SpenyvMs, Virginia 21740 (703) 967-8068-Office # Structurally sound, raster able two # story farm house with 7 rooms, bath, % stone chimney and fireplace. 5 acres. #$85,000.

It waa that "attitude" which allowed Jordan to lose about 20 pounds from her 5-foot-8 frame on a diet of eating just one slice of cake instead of two and generally "cutting down" calorie intake. “At first" that was difficult, she says, “But I don't think about eating as much now." It is that same attitude that kept her out on the court with a friend in the rain after 11 p.m. "My Mom hissed at us about catching cold. We didn't stay out very long." It is that ie attitude that reminds Jordan, a senior, this is her last hurrah. "That last game (at home against Brentsville) is gonna be a heartbreaker," she says. But before that, there Is more damage to inflict on district opponents. She’s scored 40 points the first game as a sophomore for a careerhigh, and played three minutes later that year at Luray to go scoreless. It was that same year she played George Mason and scored just three points — “And I played the whole game, too," she says. Such nights — productive or otherwise — happen without apparent warning. “I never know when I'm going to have a good night," she says. “I have to run up and down the floor a few times before I know if I’m gonna have a big night. Sometimes, I can hit every shot in warmups and not hit anything in the game." That scenario, fortunately for Rappahannock players and fans, has been written only occasionally. They know that Jordan will have “a big night" more times than not. And that word has been spread around the Bull Run District quickly enough. NUGGETS OF TRUTH By KKV.

SS740 ENTIRELY BY GRACE by Tom Marshall of the Sperryvflle Anabaptist Fellowship My wife sometimes asks me to tell her about my black ancestor. This is a rather strange request since as far as I have been able to discover my ancestry is entirely white. She says the reason she asks me is that I display some of the characteristics of black people in my behavior. I am not offended by this suggestion. In fact, sometimes I consider it to be a compliment. All races have their strong and their weak points, and within each race the individuals vary from any supposed norm or average by differing amounts. There are white people whom I admire and respect and eiyoy being with, and others which I do not. There are also black people whom I admire and respect and enjoy being with, and others which I do not. I never had any physical brothere or sisters, but when I was born again by trusting Jesus as my Saviour I immediately gained innumerable spiritual brothers and sisters. Color or race did not and does not affect this at all. A black Christian is as much my brother as a white Christian, and I have infinitely more in common with a black Christian that I do with a white non-Christian. One of the most tragic things I see as a minister and as a Chris tian is that some people claim to be Christians and yet reject whole branches of the Christian family because of racial prejudice. Both blacks and whites are guilty of this. I have even heard and read some preaching which tries to justify such an attitude. It cannot be justified from the Bible, for it is totally contrary to the Bible, and the preaching which tries to justify it must always resort to twisting and distorting what the Bible says. If the person who harbors such an attitude is really saved (I’m not sure it is possible, but it may be), the very best that can be said for him is that he is disobeying the commands of God's Word for Christians to love one another, is grieving the Holy Spirit by rejecting his unifying ministry, and is displaying gross carnality. May God grant that many who are guilty of this will turn away from their sin and begin to follow the Lord whom they say is their Saviour. Please feel free to contact us.

SN: “It is almoet a totally volunteer effort, paid for out of my personal earnin' It will cost between $2,000 and * . "*00 for costumes, lights, sets, rehearsal space, music and a payment to all the dancers of 26% of the total budget.” RAAC: What is “Box 48” about? SN: “It’s about contact with the outside world. The piece reflects developmental stages in responding to what is outside yourself. In the first section, it’s about ways a mother tries to form you and you learn to take in and throw away what she feeds you. She’s the first influence and the first response is reaction more than an act of creativity. The second section is about how my sis-, ter divided ourselves up so that each was half of a whole. In finding her wholeness, she was able to open her self to a religious life and I respond to that with an effort to do what she did: to imitate. The third section has a more creative response, where I offer an alternative to what is being presented and in the fourth, I take the letter and integrate it into my present life, as a working dancer.” RAAC: How do you feel this piece is a step forward choreographically for you? SN: “I feel that I have honed my craft. I’ve gone to a level of refinement... that is new. There’s intricacy and attention to detail as well as to the large aspects like the overall form. I don’t feel there’s a wasted motion throughout the piece. I took the time for as much editing and reworking as I really felt it needed. And yet, in completing it, I now see some incompleteness in it, and I realize that a performance always catches you in process. I find that humbling.” "Box 48” will also be performed in Washington, D.C. at Mt. Vernon College Nov. 16-17. Eileen M.
