The school will be sending survey forms to graduates within the last 10 years — from the Class of 1975 to the Class of ’85 — who have verifiable addresses. Ths school urges graduates prior to 1975 to contact the school to provide updated addresses. The postcard survey will serve two purposes, according to school Principal Robert Chappell. One is to update mailing lists. The second purpose is to determine whether a sort of homecoming can be organized. Chappell said graduates will be polled to see if an alumni basketball night can be scheduled for Dec. 21. “If there’s sufficient interest, we’ll probably play a ladies’ game at 7 p.m. with the tnen’s game to follow at 8 p.m.,” said Chappell. Said Chappell: “We view the events...as sort of a homecoming.” Graduates should be receiving those surveys sometime in November, according to Chappell. Smet resigns Emiel Smet, who since March 1 has served as interim county zoning administrator, reiterated his desire to make the job interim. Smet submitted a letter of resignation as administrator to the county’s board of supervisors Oct. 7. In his letter, which was accepted by the board, Smet said he would stay on as zoning administrator until Jan. 1, or earlier, if the county can name a replacement. Smet, who agreed to fill the vacancy in March, will continue his duties as the county building inspector. County to get $5,300 Rappahannock County drinkers have helped raise more than $5,300 of fourth-quarter profits from the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Profits are from the statewide sale of distilled spirits, cordials and wines at state-operated ABC stores. ABC profits are distributed on a per-capita basis. Rappahannock will receive $4,290 as profits distribution and another $1,024 in distribution of > “wine liter tax.” The state will return more than $3.9 million to Virginia counties, towns and cities. Also, the 22-percent share of tax levied on the sale of wine means some $900,000 in additional funds to be distributed throughout the state. Some $2.7 million in wine tax revenues is returned t6 the state general fund. Park travel up 17.4% Some 37,000 more visitors found their way to the Shenandoah National Park in September 1985 than the same month last year. That increase represents a 17.4% rise, or 248,904 visitors during September 1985. Some 211,966 visitors were recorded for Spetember 1984. To date, some, 1,445,000 visitors traveled the park, up from 1,381,000 through the first nine months of 1984, a 4.6% increase. The number of overnight visitors, however, dropped in September when 54,844 overnight guests were recorded, down from 55,569 the same month last year.

The advice of the trustees to the 13-year-old private school located near Huntly was to immediately discontinue competing athletically with the larger, county-rival public school. Lynn considered breaking immediate ties with the public school, but on Tuesday said he decided to fulfill the schedules of the current school year. He added that a decision to schedule the public school for 1986-87 school year would be made at a later date. Lynn said he suspects the acts of theft and vandalism are the result of school rivalry, fueled by the Wakefield School Homecoming on Oct. 5 when the public school was beaten by the private school in a traditional soccer match. Lynn said he “suspected the theft of the sign was related” to the pre-soccer match furor which was fueled by what he called a “Beat Wakefield Dance.” He said it was reported that the walls of the public school were “covered with ‘Beat Wakefield’ posters.” Rappahannock County High School Principal Robert Sppell said preparation for the Wakefield Homecoming “nothing out of the ordinary” and that he “would e a hard time dealing with that statement” that the Rappahannock students were whipped up into a frenzy. He added that no pep rallies were scheduled and the dance was sponored by the school’s booster club. He described the mood of the dance as “people having a good time.” Chappell said he wanted to maintain “the strongest possible relations” with Wakefield. Although Lynn said he believes the case resulted from the rivalry, he said he was reluctant to formally break athletic relations until the case has been solved by authorities or the stolen items returned to the school. He said he does not want to blame Rappahannock High before a suspect is convicted or confesses, but he said he has a “strong indication” the culprit is either currently a student or a former student of the public school. Rappahannock County Sheriff John Henry Woodard said his department has no suspects in the case. He was also reluctant to blame the acts on school rivalry. “I can’t say that,” the sheriff said. “We’ll have to look into it.” Added Woodard: “They’re looking for someone to blame and I can’t blame” Wakefield officials for making an accusation. Nonetheless, police patrols of the area have been “beefed up” since the events, the sheriff said. Chappell, who said he has not been contacted about the incidents, said, “We don’t feel defensive about (the accusations). We didn’t feel upset. ” Please turn to page 11 William Lynn beneath sign that used to be. Sunset supplies the final glow of light to this farm on Va. 628 near Flint Hill. Sperryville celebrates apple harvest Using the panorama of the colorful Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop, two Rappahannock County groups are hoping to lure tourists from throughout the area to a weekend of celebration and local tours. • The first Sperryville Apple Harvest Celebration is set for Saturday and Sunday, the first time that community has joined to plan a weekend of events, and the 29tn annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale is also set for the weekend. Combine those two events and the usual influx of traffic to the Skyline Drive to the west, particularly on what has traditionally been the busiest weekends of the fall season, and local organizers are hoping for a big weekend. Please turn to page 18 Council tables helicopter proposal By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Mired in debate, the Washington Town Council postponed a decision to ban helicopter landings in town, a proposed ordinance some say is. directed solely at the activities of a local restaurant. Mayor Peter Kramer told the council he would approach the owners of the local restaurant to hammer out a compromise. His suggestion was made after the council heard disagreement over the value and legality of such an ordinance. Frank Reynolds, a town resident, told the council at its Oct. 9 meeting that passage of the proposed helicopter ordinance would not be “neighborly.” It is at least the third time in three months that the council has discussed a proposed ordinance banning helicopter flights within 300 feet above town limits. Detractors of the proposal say the ordinance is specifically aimed at preventing The Inn at Little Washington, a posh local eatery, from flying out-of-town patrons to the county by helicopter. “In a small town like this, if we have problems with one another, we should deal with each other on a one-toone basis and not pass laws,” said Reynolds, a Washington attorney. “People who don’t like The Inn’s patrons to land helicopters in town should be neighborly and go the Inn and talk to (owners, Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch) and settle it that way. This ordinance would be something you can’t afford to enforce and it's wrong.” The ordinance would prohibit helicopter flights within 300 feet above the town and prohibit landings in town. Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor, fined $1,000, jailed for up to 30 days and the helicopters could be impounded, according to the proposed ordinance.

Sperryville Fire Department Lieutenant Richie Burke said the call was received around 2 p.m., and a Sperryville unit was at the scene within three minutes. “The best we can determine, the fire was electrical and it started behind the stove in the kitchen,” Burke said. Damage to the home is estimated at $30,000. Other units responding were the Sperryville Rescue Squad, Washington, Flint I Hill, Castleton and Salem fire departments.

Drought; 1.5 inches “Somebody hasn’t been too kind to Dennis -Wingfield, a Sperry ville weather-watcher made that observation. And from his rainfall recordings, that assessment is all too true. In the last 51 days — through Tuesday’s rain that swept through the county — Wingfield reports that some 1.54 inches of rain have fallen at his Sperryville location. The 51-day total is less than the average rainfall of any one of the last three months, Wingfield reports. Wingfield reported that 3.49 inches of rain fell during August, nearly six inches less than in August 1984. September a year ago brought 2.75 inches of rain — about one inch less than the average, Wingfield said. In September 1985, 0.83 inches of ram fell, and much of that — or nearly seventh-eighths — was credited to Hurricane Gloria which passed through the area at the end of the month, dumping the last of the September rain on the 27th. Last October, Wingfield recorded some 2.89 inches of rain. In a four-day period from Oct. 2-5, Wingfield recorded less than one-third of an inch of rain. On Monday, only . 11 inches was recorded and Tuesday brought .03 inches. us.

Suggested water rights legislation opposed From Staff and Wire Reports ROANOKE — Proposed laws that would drastically alter the water rights of individuals and local governments in Virginia drew strong objections at a public hearing before the State Water Commission. Representatives of western Virginia governments and planning districts objected repeatedly Thursday night to proposals that would require large water users to get a permit from the State Water Control Board and that governments be given the power to claim current water sources for future water needs. LaRouche wants new trial RICHMOND — A lawyer for Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. has asked a federal appeals court to order a new trial in the three-time presidential candidate’s unsuccessful libel suit against the NBC television network. Attorney Robert Rossi on Tuesday also asked the Virginia Roundup three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to set aside the $202,000 damage award won by NBC in the case last year in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. Mr. LaRouche, who lives on an estate near Leesburg, had claimed NBC defamed him in two broadcasts that portrayed him as the anti-Semitic leader of a violence-prone political cult and charged he at one time suggested the assassination of President Carter. ‘Pot’ bust nets 160 tons PORTSMOUTH — The Coast Guard says the 160 tons of marijuana it confiscated off the Virginia coast this month was the largest drug seizure it has ever made. A Coast Guard boarding party from the cutter Taney found the marijuana on a 175-foot barge that was being towed by the tug Sea Maid I about 300 miles off the coast. Stan Christman, a spokesman at the Coast Guard’s 5th District Headquarters here, said Friday the drug was valued at $132 million. Warner: Give D.C. RFK WASHINGTON — Sen. John W. Warner says he will push for final passage of legislation to transfer ownership of RFK Stadium from the federal government to the District of Columbia. A D.C. council member warned at a hearing Thursday that the transfer had to be law before the Nov. 7-8 major league committee meeting in New York if the district is to get a baseball franchise. “We have to get our house in order on that subject to get what we want from that meeting,” said Councilman Frank Smith, chairman of the D.C. Baseball Commission. “The clock is ticking. ” New residents abound FAIRFAX — Almost half of all residents of Northern Virginia during the late 1970s moved to their jurisdictions in the previous five years, according to a study based on the 1980 census. The study, prepared by the Northern Virginia Planning District Commission, showed that 340,000 people moved into the region between 1975 and 1980, and an ' additional 133,000 moved from one northern Virginia jurisdiction to another. Council delays ordinance hearing By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington Town Mayor Peter Kramer suggested that a public hearing on a cross-control water ordinance be readvertised for the November meeting. Kramer said the hearing should be scheduled so the public can be made more aware of the state-required ordinance. The State Water Control Board is requiring localities to pass crosscontrol ordinances to prevent drawback of waste or chemicals from residences or businesses into water supplies. The town’s water system would be protected by either installing one. way check flow valves on every water meter in town or by requiring every residence and business to have valves installed on each pressurized appliance or other item using water (including washers, garden hoses, etc.). The town would have someone inspect pressurized water appliances in each home and business if separate valves are required. “I would be concerned about authorizing some young, roving commissar to go into homes and inspect faucets,” Wickens said. “The simplest way would be to put a valve on each meter,” said Brad Fisher, director of the town water works. “The valves cost $17 each, but I could get a better deal if I buy them all at the same time.” ^ Whether the town or individual . water users would pay for the meter 1 valves was one of the council’s ques* tions. “I am in favor of the meter * valve, but I would want the cost to - be the property owner’s responsibil* ity,” Councilman Newbill Miller l said. I Fisher said the town is one of a ; few towns in the state that has not * passed a cross control ordinance and is in violation of state cross control - regulations without the ordinance. * “The probability of the back flow * of toxic material into the water supl ply here is highly unlikely, though,” “ Fisher said. " Miller said the system has been » drained before, so the back-flow * probability is not that remote. t Fisher was asked to find out if I the ordinance can be changed in any ^ way before re-advertising the public * hearing. * In other action, the council approved a special use permit that will ! allow James and Nancy Thomasson county. Diane Bruce, Ann Lewis and Dr. Krebser formed a volunteer committee to find out more about the parking problem and possible solutions. • Discussed the gypsy moth threat and the arguments for and against spraying trees. Wickens and Champ Carney volunteered to do research on the moth and possible protection measures. • Announced the appointment of James Thomasson to the architectural review board replacing Charles Eldred. Eldred resigned after his appointment to the town board of zoning appeals. • Received a request from the Washington Business Council to have a clearer Washington highway sign. The business council is reforming after a period of inactivity. Kramer will ask the highway department about the sign. “I was glad to see the people at the meeting and to see them get involved,” said Willis, after the meeting. “I encourage more people to come to council meetings and help the town.” to include three guest rooms in their 1 house on Main and Piedmont ! streets. The Thomassons also said ( they plan to move their “Country Heritage Antiques and Crafts” shop to the bottom floor of the house in a year. James Thomasson said he had had the property perked for its own septic field instead of continuing to share a field, and he presented plans for parking spaces. He said there will be two guest rooms for a while after the shop is moved because he and his wife will keep an apartment for themselves. Wickens asked if the permit could be approved for as long as the Thomassons own the house. “I suspect that we can’t do that, but we could put a time limit on the permit and they’d have to renew it,” said Kramer. The permit was approved with the conditions that not more than eight people at a time stay in the house, that seven off-street parking spaces be provided and that the permit be renewed in 10 years. In other business, the council: • Discussed town parking after Dr. Werner Krebser complained that parking lots at the Medical Center and the Merrill Building (where the post office and Brambles Cafe are located) are being used as parking lots for other businesses and the : Library clarification In an Oct. 10 Rappahannock News story on the Washington Board of Zoning Appeals meeting, Mary Jamieson, a member of the Rappahannock Library’s expansion feasibility committee, was quoted as saying, “When the other land (across the street) becomes available, it will cost so much to build that we may not be able to do anything within 10 Museum dinner The Fauquier Chapter of the Virginia Museum will hold a dinner Oct. 17 at Airlie. Aileen Laing, professor of art history at Sweetbriar College, will lecture. years. We need space now.” Jamieson said later she did not mean to imply that building on the lot within the given time frame would be impossible. “I meant that building on the lot will be a major expansion that would take more time, but we will do it or we’ll lose the land,” she said. “In the meantime, we still need to build a minor expansion to meet the immediate needs of the library.” Under the deed agreement, the lot across from the present library building has to be used within 10 years or the deed will pass to the Northern Virginia Educational Center in Front Royal. ftappafjannocfe flt\a& 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__ CITY___ STATE__ ZIPSecond class postage paid at the Post Office at Warrenton, Va.

Also this year, for the first time, competition has been broadened to include a bike race. “The majority of people don’t run — they don’t run in marathons, 10 kilometer races, fun races, even,” said Strange. “But almost everybody rides a bike.” The fire company hopes to attract even more entries to the fund-raiser. Bikers will follow the same course as runners, taking off an hour earlier at 10 a.m. Entry fees are the same as those for runners. The bike race is divided into two categories for all ages: three-speed and less, four-speed and more. More information may be obtained about either race by calling Frank Reynolds (675-3683, evenings), Louise Grigbsy (metro 883-6443, days; 9375506, evenings) or Philip Strange (937-5858). > HUNT COUNTRY NURSING SERVICES, INC.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17,1985 V Editorials This weekend If only the weather cooperates.... Mother Nature appears to be about the only variable of this weekend, one which will certainly be talked about for years to come. It is the weekend of the 29th annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale, an event put on professionally each year by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish. If the publicity photos do any justice to the three houses open on the tour, the exhibits should truly be something to behold. That schedule in itself would make for a fine weekend. But add to that the peak of the fall colors in the Blue Ridge Mountains, which traditionally brings tens of thousands to the Skyline Drive, with a special little project planned in Sperryville and Rappahannock will be the place to be for anyone who has ever complained about a lack of social life in these parts. The Sperryville Business Council took advantage of the guaranteed tourist traffic headed to the Skyline Drive, got permission from the churchwomen to combine the two projects on the same weekend and came up with the Apple Harvest Celebration. The community's two dozen or so businesses have special events planned: Crafts, live music, freebies, cook-outs, x>d samples, apples in every way, shape or form. Local artists, crafts people, authors. The place will be converted into a virtual weekend carnival. It may be the only time all year when parking in downtown Sperryville becomes a municipal headache. , The house tour, a celebration in Sperryville. It will „ make this weekend seem like Christmas, when we plan for s weeks in advance only to'She Christmas Day pass like a / flash. Let’s grab hold of that flash this weekend and savor it for months to come, even if the weather cannot be guaranteed. Enough, already! In a world where the threats of nuclear annihilation, terrorist attacks, genocide by hunger and pirating on the high seas are all too real, it seems a little foolish to allow a local rift to continue. Somebody ripped off the entrance sign to the Wakefield School near Huntly. In addition, other acts of vandalism — inane stupidity — have been inflicted on property at the private school. Officials there now fear additional, more inflicting acts may follow. In response, they have blamed a county rivalry, set mostly in athletics, as a fountain of purpose for these assailants. Wakefield officials have even threatened to sever those athletic ties because of the fruitless acts. What a waste. . Let’s be reasonable. The solution is simple: Whoever took the sign, return it; no questions will be asked. And let’s get back to acting as human beings. A- _ Rappahannock heritage An abandoned farm house, bam, near Keyser Mt. An apology is due this boy To the editor: Recently, the headmaster at Wakefield School in Rappahannock humiliated a Rappahannock High School student in front of his friends and other students by accusing him of stealing the “Wakefield Sign” that was posted out on U.S. 522. What cause did this man have? What made him point the finger at this boy? What would make a man of his profession stoop to this level? Why? What satisfaction could he possibly attain by belittling an innocent person? Was it because this boy had won a scholarship to Wakefield but chose to attend RCHS? Could that be the reason? Well, we parents of RCHS believe that this child is due . an apology. NANCY SHOPPET Castleton (Wakefield Headmaster William Lynn said his remarks were directed to the boy in the spirit of jest. He told the Rappahannock News he never considered the boy, a former student, to be a suspect. -Ed.) Letters to the editor Voting Republican To the editor: The question is, who sets the policy for the Democratic Party of Virginia? One normally thinks that the Governor would be the person, yet it seems that Douglas Wilder, the candidate for Lieutenant Governor, is pretty much in charge of a lot of decisions by that party for the following reasons: In 1982 he blocked an apparent certain nomination of a conservative Democrat for the U.S. Senate. In 1985, he was awarded the nomination for Lieutenant Governor without any opposition from his party. Wilder is wholeheartedly endorsed for Lieutenant Governor by Baliles, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, who knows full well that the constitution of Virginia states that the Lieutenant Governor shall have the same qualifications as the Governor. Does Baliles feel Wilder has the same qualifications as he does? Wilder has the lowest conservative voting record of all the members of the General Assembly, 17% against his opponent Chichester, 79% — Baliles 50% and Durrette 92%. Wilder is a man who was given a disciplinary reprimand by a Circuit Court Judge for inexcusable procrastination and neglect; his prejudice and damage to his client. His > ' ilio action constituted unprofessional conduct. On appeal this reprimand was unanimously upheld by the Virginia Supreme Court. He has also (allegedly - Ed.) violated the conflict of interest law of the state by failing to report fully his asset holdings. Wilder last year voted to allow local governments to negotiate labor contracts with public employee union representatives. This year his Democratic Party at their annual convention is reported to have cancelled their order to use Coors beer at the convention when someone complained that Coors was operating an open shop, which was unfavorable to labor union control of their brewery. This in spite of the fact that Coors has just established one of the largest out-of-state operations in recent years in our state. All of the above is a compelling reason why Virginians should vote for Durrette, Chichester and O’Brien. J, CLIFFORD MILLER JR. Sperry ville, Former chairman, Third District Democratic Committee Supervisors on ztffling: change or be changed To the editor: The headline of your article reporting on the joint hearing of Oct. 7, “Zoning favored; ordinance debated,” describes in a nutshell not only the meeting itself but also the reaction in the county regarding the proposed ordinance ever since this apple of discord was thrown into our midst by the planning commission over a year ago. I know of no one in the county who is opposed to reasonable zoning here; I know of many people who are opposed to this proposed ordinance as. being unreasonable and fatally flawed, including the 1,054 residents who signed the RDAC petition presented to the planning commission and board of supervisors to express their opposition to it. Even those speakers on Oct. 7 who seemed inclined toward adoption of the ordinance spoke of the problems they have with the 201page document in its present form; the “quirks” of Mr. Dennis; the “splinters” of Mr. Clark; the “reservations” of Mr. Reynolds; the potential for cronyism and favoritism in issuing or denying permits as ex pressed by Mr. Johnson; and objections to removing our elected officials from control of the ordinance, once enacted (Mr. White). For my own part, a thorough review of the “new” proposed ordinance convinces me that, by far, the most unacceptable feature of it is its attempt to circumscribe and restrict the discretionary powers of the elected board of supervisors. This is not another incidental restriction such as yard areas or permissible signs. It is a fundamental and constitutional flaw in the proposal as I emphasized at the meeting, and have before, although your article does not report that fact. Under the provision of the ordinance, as now proposed, the supervisors would, upon its enactment, lose control over the implementation of the ordinance by surrendering their discretionary powers over granting Special Exemptions to address bonafide grievances of the electorate, as they did for Mr. Clark and his neighbors of Harris Hollow in their bitter battle with Sam Snead over his proposed development up there, and did so for Mr. Reynolds and his clients, when they exploded in anger over the board’s decision to locate the county landfill near them. In both cases, the board acted decisively because its hands were not tied. What would have been Mr. Clark’s and Mr. Reynolds’ response, does one suppose, had the supervisors answered them, in these two cases, that they were unable to act on these grievances because, although they were deeply sympathetic, their hands were tied by the provisions of some Ordinance which they, themselves, had previously enacted. Would Messrs. Clark and Reynolds not have replied with the same arugument I am now making? Even to amend or change the zoning ordinance, once enacted, the powers of the supervisors are circumscribed. Should the board approve a resolution announcing its “intentions to amend” the zoning ordinance, its resolution must then . pass muster before the planning commission which is the same body which brought this Fauquier ordinance to Rappahannock County in the first place. This zoning ordinance must not be enacted without including in it (logically in Article 1, under the present heading “The Constitution of this Ordinance”) a controlling and paramount proviso that no provision of the ordinance shall be deemed, nor be interpreted, as removing from the county governing body any, of its discretionary powers granted to it, and to all counties in Virginia, by the General Assembly of Virginia. After this all-important addition, we must trust and expect our elected representatives to implement the zoning ordinance fairly and impartially; if it should transpire that our trust was misplaced, our remedy is clear and at hand: We replace the supervisors. But we cannot vote for planning commission members and BZA members, nor probably should we be able to do so, as long as the electorate can select the county’s governing body and so long as it remains precisely that — our governing body. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill off the cuff Paul McFarlane l Autumn stinks. In particular, October leads the league in negatives. I like the crisp afternoons, love the deep, postcard blue skies and Fruit Loops foliage the Blue Ridge produces each fall and enjoy being able to wrap up in a blanket late at night without waking up in a pool of sweat. Those parts about the season are » g£eat. This kind of weather — the warm afternoons, when the sun is still powerful and the days bright and clear, and cool evenings — is welcome at any time of the year. Autumn blues The part about autumn that stinks is winter. Without winter, autumn would be terrific. Winter lies in the waiting, looking for the first opening to pile-drive through with cold weather, snow, slush, slop and everything else that escorts winter. Autumn is like a Sunday afternoon: it’s still the weekend, but Monday morning is perched like a mean cat ready to pounce. Now, I realize the autumn in this area exudes beauty unparalleled on this planet and is certainly a source of big business. Folks come from miles around to see what we enjoy every day of the week. They should come to see this. Talk to a city person; you’ll discover that, to them, the country is a walk in the park, whiling away an afternoon avoiding pigeons and muggers. Coming here in the fall makes them debate a career change. What we have, they can only get from television or books and magazines. They still can’t breathe what is here, feel the afternoons that remind us of how insignificant the day’s news really is, what little role man plays in this overall scheme of things. But that damn winter still haunts all that: A Sunday afternoon when you realize a book report is due early Monday and you can’t remember where you placed the book three months ago. By October, summer’s gone and autumn’s closing in. Autumn is spring with no place to go. And already we’re getting signals that winter is not far off. The leaves are just about reaching their peak, or so we’re told, but winter is knocking at the door. Autumn is a season of unending conflict. Last week, we experienced temperatures in the 30s one night and opened the wood stove, reached the 80s one afternoon and opened the windows. The hockey season opened last week, and they play on ice, for crying out loud. Professional basketball is nearing opening day; college basketball polls were released last week. Baseball’s World Series is scheduled to start Saturday and could be played in a foreign country, of all things. For all this opening and closing, football is in the middle of its schedule. You need'a scorecard to keep up with the players and the game. To top it all off, report cards are due out in October. Plants die in October. Leaves die in October after one last hurrah of celebrity. We spent the rest of October raking those leaves off our front lawns, forgetting just how pretty they were hanging from the trees just a few weeks earlier. (Maybe we could put together a Heritage Leaf-Raking Celebration and distribute to every visitor a commemorative rake and leaf bag and award prizes for the most bags of leaves raked. Well, just a thought.) This is one of the longest months of the year. It gets dark early in October. It gets cold early in October! It gets to be almost winter in October. You get to wear flannel shirts in October. Of course, you have to find the flannel shirts. I made my first car payment in October, the same month my auto insurance payment was due. I stayed home a lot in October. October is the only autumn month to have no paid holidays, unless you work for the govemment or a bank. They even changed the day we celebrated Columbus’ effort to prove the world was round which — eve n if he did so accidently — put us on the map, which is worthy of at least some consideration. However, not all of this season is dooming: Halloween can be fun — except for costume parties — which is like saying your blind date has never been convicted of that ridiculous ax murder charge. It snows only rarely in October. Blizzards are virtually non-existent, and, because of that, are tolerable when they do surprise us. The list ends there, I think. Locally, though, we have something else. For the first time this year we have both the house tour and a Sperry ville Apple Harvest Celebration, which will make this place an exciting place to be this weekend, and also make it a time to temporarily forget our fears that winter is just around the corner. The Blue Ridge will provide the backdrop; the hard work and organization of volunteers will provide the stage show. It will, certainly, be one autumn event discussed throughout the impending cold winter nights. And, given the alternative — an October of nothingness waiting for the seige of winter to begin — I, for one, am anxious to maintain any level of outdoor activity without first having to build a fire to stay warm. There will be time enough for that anyway.

George Bowles A week of contrasts for GOP Last week was, as Charles Dickens might have described it, the best of times and the worst of times for Virginia Republicans. On the one hand President Reagan crossed the Potomac last Wednesday to lend his presence to a fund-raiser which the GOP hoped would pour a badly needed half-million dollars into the campaign coffers of Republican candidate for governor Wyatt Durrette. True, Reagan didn’t venture very far into Virginia, nor did he tarry long. The event took place in Northern Virginia’s Crystal City, two miles or so from the White House. He remained about 15 minutes. The faithful ponied up $10,000 each for a reception and $1,000 for a luncheon in honor of the president’s abbreviated visit. Then, for reasons best known to himself, Durrette chose Tuesday to reveal the answer to one of the great non-secrets of the campaign. He let it be known that he had received a letter from Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. assuring Durrette of his support and his support of Durrett’s running mate, John Chichester, for lieutenant governor. Byrd was silent, however, on his choice for attorney general, an omission which has caused dark mutterings within the ranks of the regular GOP. Just why the Reagan and Byrd cards were played at almost the same time is something of a mystery, but then there is suddenly a great deal of mystery about the goings-on in the GOP. And then, on the other hand, there are the most recent polls. If they are to be believed, the entire direction of the campaign has shifted dramatically. What looked like a virtual dead heat two weeks ago between all the statewide candidates has suddenly become what one political analyst has called a potential Republican rout. bven Newsweek magazine took note of the deteriorating GOP position in Virginia, reporting that the Republican National Committee had all but written off the Durrette candidacy. The magazine reported that the RNC had turned down a Durrette request for $500,000 to fund a last-minute advertising blitz, and a top RNC strategist is quoted as saying that Durrette needs “a new campaign from top to bottom, and it’s too late for that.” Newsweek said the RNC based its judgment on a poll showing Baliles with a 16 percentage point lead. The Durrette campaign » angrily denied the accuracy of the report. But a day later an even more devastating Washington Post poll was released which indicated Democratic candidate Gerald Bailies had amassed a 19 point lead over Durrette, with the count standing at 50 percent to 31 percent. Amazingly, Democratic lieutenant governor candidate Douglas Wilder held a 48 to 26 percent lead over Republican John Chichester while Democratic Attorney General candidate Mary Sue Terry led Republican Buster O’Brien by a count of 43 to 27 percent. What has happened to bring about this remarkable downturn in Republican fortunes? According to a former highranking party official it is a combination of a number of factors which the state party in general and the Durrette campaign in particular refuse to recognize exist. The first of these is that Durrette has run a defensive campaign from the beginning. He has found no way to really attack Baliles who is about as conservative as is Durrette. Secondly, said the official, Durrette has shown very little business seense in running a campaign. He has raised more than $2.5 million, yet he is almost broke. Still he has a top-heavy headquarters staff which often works at cross purposes. And finally he constantly gets conflicting advice from the Republican regulars and the independent conservatives, the latter of whom, it seems, have all but taken over the management of his campaign. It may be that the split in the advice he is getting is his most serious problem. He continually finds himself in the position of having to please his various mentors and brush off the interesting remarks which give voice to their particular brand of politics. For example, several weeks ago it was former Gov. Mills Godwin who blasted Wilder because, 15 years before, Wilder had wanted to change the state • song. Wilder said Carry Me Back to Old Virginia contained words which might offend contemporary blacks. Since there seemed to be no other explanation for the Godwin remark, some took the observation as an effort to remind the voters that Wilder is black. Then last week, in Byrd’s letter endorsing Durrette and Chichester, he gave no reason for his endorsement except that the candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run as teams, and that the lieutenant governor stands a “heartbeat 1 away” from the governorship. Again, some took this as a not so subtle reminder that if Wilder were elected lieutenant governor and something happened to the governor, Virginians would have a black man as their chief executive. Politically, all this is the oldtime religion in Virginia, and there is no doubt that in some circles it will help the GOP cause. In others however, it will have the opposite effect. At bottom, it is probably no better than a wash in 1985. But at this point, with those three weeks still to go, the message of the polls seems clear. The Republican ticket in Virginia, from top to bottom, is in deep trouble and its trouble may be deepening. My Republican source summed it up. “The polls don’t surprise me a bit,” he said. “The entire fall campaign has been a disappointment. If we don’t get this turned around in the three weeks we’ve got left, I expect our entire ticket to go down the tubes, and we’ll be looking at another 1981 — a Democratic sweep — and I’m including Doug Wilder in that sweep!” In which case, of course, on election night, Nov. 5, for the Virginia GOP there would be no Dickensian balance. It will simply be the worst of times. COMPETITIVE This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 35 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Oct. 12, 1950 edition Sperryville Elementaiy School opened its month with 174 of its student having 100% attendance records.

Culpeper SAR marks Slaughter’s grave By JENNINGS H. FLATHERS Publicity Chairman The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, SAR, recently met with members of the Slaughter family to eulogize and mark the grave of Col. John Suggett Slaughter at “Clover Hill” near Woodvilie. Col. Slaughter was first a militiaman in the Culpeper Minute Men and later a Colonel in the Continental Army. His family and their friends met to honor him for his bravery and dedication to the cause of freedom and independence for his country. John S. and six other members of the Slaughter family participated in the American Revolution. Volunteering for the Culpeper Minute Men at the age of 16, he was too late to participate in the Battle of Great Bridge — the bridge that spanned the Elizabeth River — but he later joined Washington's Continental Army and served under the command of General Daniel Morgan, of Winchester. He saw action at Princeton, Trenton and at Saratoga where he helped bring about the defeat and surrender of General Burgoyne. He was at Valley Forge during the terrible winter of 1777-78, wras probably with General Morgan in South Carolina and served in the significant Battle of Cowpens, a major defeat for the British. Following the war. Slaughter returned to Culpeper County to begin a civilian life dedicated to the family and family interests, church and to the rural life of that period. At age 24, he was a justice in Culpeper County along with his father, at 33 a vestryman in the Bremfield Parish and at 39, a trustee (county supervisor) for the town of Woodville. A supporter of the development of scientific farming and domestic manufacturing, he helped found a society for their promotion. He won awards for his woolen and linen cloths made of products from the farm where he is buried. In 1821, he raised subscriptions for a Culpeper Turnpike, which was not approved by the state legislature, but he wras successful with subscriptions in 1828 for the Rappahannock Canal. Along the way, John S. r ’rried a Miss Brown, the daughter of Captain William Brown, and f? ’ei a 13 children. He died at Clover Hill, Culpeper County, in 1830, at 71 years of age. He was bom in 1759. It is fitting and proper that today’s Culpeper Minute Men, SAR, many of whom have served their home and country, mark the final resting place of this patriot as a reminder of the great debt owed to him and all others who opposed despotism and tyranny 200 years ago. Vigilance in protecting liberty, regardless of the sacrifices that may be demanded, must continue.

Programs have been designed and classrooms arranged to meet the specific needs of the children in CCLC’s three classes. ‘Meadow Grove’ is third tour house The 29th Annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale, the popular event held on the third weekend of October when the colors in the Blue Ridge foothills should be at their best, will begin on Oct. 19 at 11 a. m. The houses on tour will close at 5 p.m. on Saturday and will be open from 1-5 p.m. on Sunday. The last house on this year’s tour is “Meadow Grove,” the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Fletcher Massie. “Meadow Grove” is located approximately three miles south of Ben Venue on Rt. 729, one of the first highways to link this part of the Commonwealth with the east and south of colonial Virginia. The farm was established in 1739 from a land grant from King George III. In 1749, a parcel from the •Fairfax Grant was added and in 1802, then governor of Virginia, James Monroe, signed a deed to a third portion. This deed is in display in the den. The house is constructed of pine logs, weatherboard and brick. One of the original walls is seen in the back of the den closet. Outbuildings were also constructed of logs. The outbuilding to the right of the driveway is one of the oldest in the county. Between 1905 and 1927, the Massanova Post Office served the community from the space below the stairs in the entrance hall. The residence is a practical and charming farm house with four working fireplaces. The living room is trimmed in walnut and the rest of the house in pine. Door frames, staircase and many doors are all original. “Meadow Grove” has been the home of six generations of Massies. The current owner is the greatgrandson of Elizabeth Miller, of Greenwood Farm, Tour House A in Gid Brown Hollow. The house contains many furnishings from these past Massie generations including James Massie’s great-grandfather, Colonel Thomas Benjamin Massie, commander of the 12th Virginia Cavalry in the Civil War and leader of the “Beefsteak Raid” at Scoggin’s Point in September 1864 that netted approximately 2,500 head of Union Army cattle to feed General Lee’s army. Abraham Lincoln described the raid as “The slickest piece of cattle stealing I’ve ever heard of.” Noteworthy among the furnishings are two corner cupboards from the 1700s in the dining room. Col. Massie’s bed, an 1850 sewing machine in one guest room and an unusual “top hat” bed of the Monroe period in another. At the foot of the bed in the main bedroom is a chest that belonged to Peyton Anderson, the first Confederate soldier wounded in the Civil War. Like many homes in the county, “Meadow Grove” has been touched by the early history of our nation, has housed hard-working farmers and stood through Indian raids, war and the ever-changing patterns of trade and commerce. Other houses on the tour include “Greenwood Farm” in Gid Brown Hollow, 1.5 miles north of Rediviva , on Rt. 211, the home of Mrs. E.A. McNear, and “Rush River House,” home of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene S. Leggett, in Harris Hollow. Miss Ruby Jenkins’ Washington Museum, featured in the December 1984 issue of The Virginia Magazine and the January 1985 issue of Coun Foundation offers free trees The National Arbor Day Foundation will give 10 flowering trees to new members who join the organization during October 1985. The free trees are part of the foundation’s effort to improve the quality of life in America by encouraging tree planting. New members will receive two white dogwood, two American redbud, two European mountain ash, two Washington hawthorn and two flowering crab trees, all 6 to 12 inches high. John Rosenow, the foundation’s executive director, said the trees were selected because they will give a colorful flowering of pink, white and red blossoms throughout the spring. The trees will be sent postpaid at the right time for planting between 3ct. 15 and Dec. 10, planting instructions enclosed. The trees are guaranteed to grow. Otherwise the foundation will replace them free of charge. Meet Paul F. Blevins Washington, Va. 22747 703-675-3049 r i Your new Nationwide agent.

Czechoslovakia: a seedy character Helen and Howard Holshuh of Castleton have just Returned from a month-long trip through Europe, including a tour of Czechoslovakia. The following account, written by Helen, describes their impressions and observations of their visit to Eastern Europe. Czechoslovakia doesn’t seem to be on every American tourist’s route. It is not easy to get information or reservations for this Soviet-bloc country. All such requests must go through the national tourist agency Cedok and finally, the day we left for Europe, we received a two-night, prepaid reservation for the Hotel Flora in Prague. When we picked up our rental car in Luxemburg, we got the first hint that Czechoslovakia might not have been a wise choice. The rental agent advised us that if anything happened to the car while we were there, we would be responsible. We would have to get the car to the border ourselves, even if we had to push it. As we proceeded across Germany and Austria we talked to other tourists, all of whom had a tale tc 11 about driving in Czechoslovakia. One couple lost their way following a detour (easy to do since all road signs are in the Slovak alphabet; the universal picture signs, to which we were accustomed, were used only seldomly) and ended up in the midst of a tank exercise. They found themselves surrounded by men with machine guns and tanks rumbling by on either side. The army detained them for four hours, checked and re-checked their passports and finally fined them $30 and escorted them at high speed to the border. We decided we would forgo driving ourselves and hired a car and driver from Vienna, Austria. Our first inkling of the iron curtain came as we approached the Slovak border. For almost 10 miles it was wasteland, abandoned farms and houses. Our guide explained that no Aus person for each day you stay in the country. After leaving the border, travelers face one more gate and passport ■k. ‘Our last sight...was the car ahead of us waiting at customs — its seats were tom out and the driver being led off to be stripsearched’ Holschuh trian wants to live so close to the border so they just left. The Czechs looked at our passports at two different check points and then took them away when we were invited to change our money into korin.

New regulations proposed by ABC The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board will hold public hearings on proposed changes in regulations, including outlawing happy hours after 9 p.m. and prohibiting restaurants from advertising reduced-price drink specials. The advisory committee recommends that customers not be allowed to possess more than two drinks at any one time and no retail licensee be allowed to sponsor “allyou-can-drink” specials at one price. The proposed changes will be the topic of discussion at a public hearing Oct. 22 at the ABC departmental Central Office Building Complex on Hermitage Road in Richmond. Proposals made by the advisory committee other than those dealing with happy hour regulations were “generally housekeeping and deregulation of the alcoholic beverage industry,” according to ABC Board Chairman Robert J. Grey Jr. Those other changes include proposing to allow restaurants to stock and sell miniatures — those bottles containing 50ml of liquor — in hotel rooms and recommended that the words “liquor” and “spirits” be allowed to appear in media and exterior advertising of a mixed beverage license. Proposed changes in the happy hour regulations are similar to those recommended by a citizen’s ad hoc committee that was formed to study 1 happy hours. Following its Oct. 22 meeting, the ABC Board will finalize the proposed changes and send them to the governor for final approval. Should they be approved, the regulations would go into effect in December. A package of the proposed regulation changes are available by writing the ABC Board at P.O. Box 27491, Richmond, Va., 23261. Seminar on grief A seminar designed for those who have recently experienced the death of a family member or friend entitled, “Good Grief: Coping Creatively with Loss,” will be presented at The Conyers House on Oct. 25 from 10 a.m. until noon.

Quite a difference from the wave of friendly officials at all other European borders. Prague lay about two hours ahead, all on two-lane roads except for the last 30 miles. The first thing you notice are the large farms...all cooperative, of course, and void of fences. There were miles and miles of hay fields and miles and miles of sunflowers. Every 10 miles or so along the highway was an army car with uniformed men in it. One finally flagged our car down and gave up a ticket to our driver for driving in the passing lane when she wasn’t passing: $10 fine right then and there. Our hotel in Prague was built in the 30s and quite possibly hadn’t been renovated since then. The first thing that struck you was the television cameras, such as the ones banks use here, were in every public room. It was rather disconcerting knowing that all your movements were being monitored. Prague is known as The Golden City, and perhaps one day it was. Buildings have not been painted for years and the overall picture is one of drabness and a rather seedy charArthritis among children topic of book Do you know of a family in which a child suffers from arthritis?

Presently, the entire downtown area is being tom up for subway construction. Everything is a shambles of scaffolding, construction equipment, closed off streets and no entry here. This effectively blocks off all crosstown traffic in about a two square-mile area of downtown. The really old portion of the city is across the Maldau River and the huge 15th Century fortress is there. It is a fascinating place with three or four palaces of the old Bohemian kings. One knights’ hall, with highvaulted ceiling was built a year after Columbus discovered America in 1492. It was huge. There was an equestrian staircase so that the knights could ride right into the hall for jousting and other games. It was an ancient “SuperDome” for indoor athletic events. Also in the compound were the St. Vitus Church and the Wenceslas Chapel. Nearby was the Loretta Church with its magnificent treasury. We had a long, beautiful day in this historic place. That evening, while searching for a place to eat, we came across an entryway proclaiming a Baptist church inside. Yes, indeed, there is a thriving Baptist congregation in this communist country. It is celebrating its 100th anniversary. We went to evening services and learned that the Baptist minister is the only minister in the world paid by the state. That catch is, of course, that his salary is lower than the common laborer and the congregation is forbidden to give him anything. His is real dedication to preach on such a meager salary. All the time we were in the country, we were constantly accosted by men who sidled up to us and whispered, “change money?” Czechs are so desperate for hard currency that they will risk arrest to get it.

Our last sight as we again crossed the border was the car ahead of us waiting at customs — its seats were torn out, the trunk open, hood open and the driver being led off to be stripsearched.

Wakefield Continued from page 1 The principal called the athletic competition “healthy” even through the current unfolding of events. Should those items be returned to the school Lynn said he would observe a “no-questions-asked” policy and continue scheduling Rappahannock High. ^ He added “we’re pretty sure we know” the identity of the culprit although he admits he made that identifica tion “without a shred of evidence.” Yet Lynn claims his information — which he has passed along to the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department — “is not just idle speculation.” J Lynn said he contacted RCHS assistant principal and athletic director John Toth about the incidents. Toth then interviewed each soccer player and uncovered no leads, according to Lynn. Since Sept. 28 when the school sign, estimated by Lynn to be worth $900 was apparently ripped from its pole of treated, two-by-six lumber from the entrance of the school, Lynn said two school flags and a metal “Do Not Enter” sign were stolen. In addition, Lynn said school officials discovered mud has been poured into the gas tank of the school’s rider lawnmower. Also, during Homecoming Week, Wakefield students, working late on the school’s newspaper, chased intruders from the school grounds. The intruders, in their haste, dropped a kerosene can which Lynn said supported a rumor that someone plans to set fire to the school. Lynn, however, added that the intruders could have been planning to siphon gasoline from the school’s fleet of buses, or from any one of the vehicles parked in front of the school. Lynn said he “tends to take these rumors seriously” since his father was murdered in the family driveway on Halloween night 1967 in what may have begun as a prank. Other recent events at the school have done little to ease the headmaster’s fear. At around midnight after an Oct. 12 family visit to Winchester, Lynn said he pulled into the school parking lot to inspect the grounds. He said he spotted a “blue car RCES students enjoy Book Week held in the school’s library this week. Learning tool, ‘Reading jogs the mind’ Nominations needed By TOM TAYLOR ASCS Farmers are asked to nominate candidates of their choice by Oct. 28 to be on the ASC community committee ballot. The ASC community committee election will be conducted from Nov. 21 to Dec. 2 by mail ballot. The two ASC communities in Rappahannock County are North and South. ASC committees are responsible for managing government farm programs on the local level. To meet the needs of individual producers, ASC committee members must be concerned and responsible individuals. Farmers have the opportunity to nominate persons they feel would best serve the farm community. Farmers have received petition forms by mail and are now submitting them to the county ASCS office. A few basic considerations should be kept in mind when circulating petitions. In order to be valid, petitions must be limited to one nominee each, must include written certification that the nominee is willing to serve if elected, must be signed by at least three eligible farm voters in the ASC community and must be received in the county ASCS office by the Oct. 28 deadline. Farmers may circulate or sign nominating petitions for as many candidates as they choose. Anyone wishing to nominate a farmer for the ASC committee election may contact the county ASCS office for full details, including eligibility requirements for office holders. Farmers should petition for and elect those individuals they feel would do a good job as a member of the ASC committee. The county ASCS office welcomes all valid petitions. The oppor tunity to nominate, vote and be elected to office is guaranteed to all farmers regardless of race, religion, sex, age, color or national origin. Mental health fund drive The Mental Health Association in Rappahannock County is holding its annual fund-drive during October. The money raised will go to support the Mental Health Association in Richmond, lobbying efforts for legislation that affects mental health care and practitioners and to fund workshops held in Rappahannock County.

When the blue car approached, Lynn said he turned on his headlights and was able to see the faces of “teenagers” in the car and a Rappahannock County vehicle decal on the windshield. The car took off, Lynn said, “obviously fleeing from me” south on U.S. 522 toward Flint Hill. In an attempt to read the license tag number, Lynn, his four daughters in the car, went in pursuit — “I went after them” — until he came upon a county deputy waiting nearby, stopped and reported the incident. “I didn’t want to get into a car chase with my children in the car,” he said. Still, the car in question got away. Lynn said in addition to the county sheriff’s department setting up extra patrols near the school, students and parents are also patrolling the grounds during offhours “to serve notice” on whoever might attempt to further vandalize school property. On the night of Sept 28, vandals ripped a painted sign and part of its support from a post in front of the school. Lynn said the sign was a gift from a parent. He valued the sign at $900. “I thought it was just a prank,” said the school’s only headmaster. The two schools played a “competitive” soccer match on Oct. 5 — Wakefield’s Homecoming — that Lynn said was “well-behaved” and played among “good sports” who shared doughnuts, cookies and cider following the game which Wakefield won, 3-1. After the game, Wakefield officials presented the public school with a replica of a Panther, the school’s mascot. “We wanted to make a friendly gesture” to “diffuse whatever ill feelings might have been stirring,” Lynn said. “It was a nice gesture,” said Chappell. Then, on Oct. 12, three flags from in front of the school were removed from their poles and two were stolen, as were the road direction signs. One flag was left behind. Also, vandals tore off a poster-board, makeshift sign nailed to painted plywood. It was that same night Lynn observed a blue car on the premises and chased it until police intervened. The school is offering a $100 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved. Lynn guessed at the motives for the attack. He said he believed that there “has been, always been a sort of resentment” within the community toward the private school. He suspected the resentment spawned at the public school for what they perceived as a “deficiency” in academics that students felt that “had to make up” on the athletic field. Or, Lynn said, the acts may simply be carried out by idle teenagers. “We’re concerned this has gone beyond the prank stage,” Lynn said. He admits the damage to school property has not been great but said: “I don’t know what’s next.” Also, he said he “hates the prospect (of replacing the sign only to see it) going to be tom down again.” He reiterated that a decision to sever ties for next year has not been made. “We are not accusing Rappahannock High School students of any improper conduct,” according to Lynn. “But if our athletic competition is inciting someone in the county to commit grand larceny, then our competition is definitely not worth the trouble it is creating.” n 1 > j ID rn I PADDLE FAN LIGHT KITS LKMF2 Bright Brass •Complete with pull chain switch fully assembled fitter •Fits all Moss light adaptable fans, plus others *9.95 SMOKE ALARM *9.95 ROTARY CONTROL DIMMER . *7.99 * Easy to install. • 600 watt.

Warner: Reform Medicare Arguing that some elderly people are being denied admission and discharged early. Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) said last week that Medicare’s prospective payment system “is in great need of reform.” A member of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, Sen. Warner charged at a committee hearing that Medicare patients must meet rigid illness standards at some hospitals before being admitted. The hearing was called to examine the new payment system’s effects on the quality of care Medicare beneficiaries receive. “Multiple ills so evident in older patients are not reflected in current diagnostic related group (DRG) standards,” he said. “Medicare patients are being released as rapidly as possible with a significant burden being placed on the nation’s nursing homes and home health care programs, many without facilities to provide needed care.” The senator’s comments followed last week’s release of a report from a four-month committee staff investigation, which made several recommendations, including one that Congress should pass a law authorizing Medicare officials to deny re imbursement for care deemed to be “substandard.” “Congress created Medicare DRGs to help slow the enormous growth of the program. “There are some 29 million elderly and disabled citizens now eligible for Medicare, and it is our responsibility to assure that they may continue to rely on these benefits,” he added.

W akefield sports update By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock New* contributins writer Nearing the midpoint of the varsity soccer schedule, Wakefield’s varsity soccer team has completed the most disappointing week of the season. Although the team managed to grasp another victory in their conference, the team was handed their first defeat of the season, leaving the Wakefield record at 6-1. In the first game of the week, Wakefield raised its conference record to 3-0 with a 6-2 victory over Word of Life School. After a slow start, Wakefield punched four quick shots into the net en route to a 4-0 halftime lead. In the second half, the team looked sluggish, however, aided by Marc Foerstemann’s second goal of the game, Wakefield held on for the 5-2 victory. In the week’s second game, Wakefield suffered its first loss of the season to a strong St. Anne’s Bellfield team. Wakefield took an early lead on a goal from right wing Larry Tarr, of Warrenton. However, St. Anne’s quickly retaliated to knot the score at 1-1 at the half. In the second half, Wakefield’s offense was constantly stymied by a stringent St. Anne’s defense. Late in the game, St. Anne’s scored on a fast break to take a 2-1 lead. Although excellent play from halfbacks Jorge Gonzales, of Huntly, and Wakefield commended students Wakefield School has been notified by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) that eight students have been designated commended students in the 1986 Merit Program. Headmaster Willaim E. Lynn announced that these seniors will receive a letter of commendation in honor of outstanding academic promise, demonstrated by placing in the top five percent of over one million participants in the 31st annual National Merit Scholarship Program. The Commended Students are: Mary Qeth Bayne, of Warrenton, Seaf)_I?olan, of Warrenton, Duarte Funk, of Front Royal, Rae Marie Lutes, of Warrenton, Meera Maheswaran, of Charlestown, W.Va., Lorraine Shea, of Winchester, Nancy Massie, of Flint Hill and Larry Tarr, of Warrenton. An officer of NMSC, which administers the program, said, “Being named a Commended Student in the extremely competitive Merit Program is a credit to these young men and women and to their schools, which play an important role in the development of academically talented youth. The high test performance of Commended Students is indicative of exceptional scholastic ability, which is essential in a nation that prides itself on cultivating individual excellence, We hope the honor these st’d^n s hav” f-umeu will provide them with the motivation to use their talents to the fullest and also will serve as an example for other aspiring young citizens. ” Participants entered in the current Merit Program by taking the PSAT/NMSQT in October, 1984, when most of them were juniors. Although their qualifying test scores are very high, the 35,000 Commended Students nationwide scored slightly below the level required for semifinalist standing. Only the 15,000 semifinalists, whose names were announced on Sept. 11, will continue in the competition for some 5,800 Merit Scholarships to be awarded in 1986.

Wakefield’s junior varsity soccer team played Grymes School this week. Grymes was the first to score early in the game followed by Wakefield goals in the second quarter by Matthew O’Herron, of Warrenton, and Jerry Latell, of Huntly, making the score 2-1 in favor of Wakefield. After halftime, Grymes came back scoring twice during the third quarter. Emeterio Gomez, of Huntly, scored during the final quarter to tie the match at 3-3. In overtime, Wakefield won the game on a goal by Latell. The 4-3 final score represented the junior varsity’s first win of the season. The Wakefield field hockey team, the Hooters, traveled to Middleburg this week to play Notre Dame Academy. The Hooters used a new lineup that proved to be quite effective with the final score a 1-1 tie. This was the team’s first tie of the season. In the first 10 minutes, Wakefield junior Annie Dunning, of Boyce, scored a goal off a fast break down the field. Wakefield kept the ball above the 60 yard line for the majority of the half but only the one goal was scored. Once again in the second half, Wakefield dominated the play with the offense leading a vigorous attack on the Notre Dame defense. Near the end of the final half, Notre Dame forwards got a fast break and scored on an excellent shot into the comer of the goal. During the Notre Dame game, the Hooters made a noted improvement in stickwork and team play and they anxiously await their game against St. Anne’s Bellfield this week. The Wakefield volleyball team played a match this week against Word of Life School where they lost 3-0. The team as a whole has improved considerably in this their first year of play, and they continue to improve with each match. Even though the team has had only one win this season, they have provided strong competition to the teams that they have played and they will continue working on the fundamentals of the game and improving their statistics and strategies. Coach Cindy Baker commented that as the coach of this young team, she is very proud of the progress that they have made. She added, “One important characteristic this team possesses is spirit and motivation. The team is eager to learn and their drive is strong.” The volleyball team is anticipating its upcoming match this week against Randolph Macon Academy. Poster contest winners Wakefield’s first annual book fair is this week in the school’s gymnasium. A contest was held for students to design posters advertising the fair. The first prize winners, each of whom received a book, were: Katie Lynn, of Washington; James Stephens, of Front Royal; Erin McCormick, of Winchester; Clark Dickerson, of Culpeper; Gregory Williams, of Flint Hill; Carrie Naramore and Chrissy Ohlinger, of Ami8sville; and Cyrus Grady, of Haymarket. The public is invited to attend the book fair that ends today at 4 p.m. For more information, call the school at 635-8111. Contributors to the sports article were: Larry Tarr, Matthew Tucker and Molly Dunning. faV^SaiGEstatt r:i^. a# Eileen M. Day i CAPITAL GAINS TIME CHANGE The latest tax law (1984 Tax Reform Act) changed the time period for holding property for the purpose of capital gains to six months - a reduction from the previous one year holding period. In general, this is not such a vital change to real estate investors because the average investors hold their properties for about seven years. However, there are a few instances where this lowered time frame could be significant. If you are a wizard at spotting good turnaround situations, you could turn your profit over twice as fast as before. Say you bought a property that was poorly managed and needing repairs and upgrading. If you made die quick improvements and upgraded the rental management, you could now resell the property in only six months (half the previous time period) to obtain capital gains treatment for your profits. The maximum rate on capital gains is only 20% and probably less for most people. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Diane Bruce, Clerk ‘Talisman’ named top magazine The literary magazine at Wakefield School, Talisman, won its third consecutive first place award in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association judging. The magazine, largely the work of 12 students including that of the editor, Josephine Rood of Sperryville, was cited for its “special qualities evident to the judges, characterized as the personality, spirit or creative excellence of the entry.” The Columbia Scholastic Press Association, a division of Columbia University in New York City, judges publications of secondary schools from throughout the country. The latest was the 61st year of the competition. It is the fifth edition of Talisman. The magazine, printed in two colors, has won first place honors the last three years. The Spring 1985 edition was also awarded an All-Columbian Award for “superior achievement in content” and a Medalist award as one of the top 10 percent of the entries. Faculty adviser Helen Ruisi said she was “very excited” by the results. The judges were also impressed, starting their appraisal with, “What an undertaking! The magazine is well-planned and well-executed. ” Said Ruisi: The staff worked so that “the articles would progress logically and the magazine would be visually appealing.” , Also on the staff of the 1985 edition were assistant editors Mary Beth Bayne and Kathleen Fawcett o' Warrenton, Lauren Wemmer and Sharon Campbell of Front Royal and Doug Brooks of Nokesville; art editors Gregory Wood of Warrenton and Ron Stem of Clearbrook; layout staff of Tanya Manning of Huntly, Elise Maar of Front Royal and Ann Waesche of Gainesville. The 48-page magazine is comprised of three sections: prose, essay and poetry, with an additional section for younger students. Local artwork is also included to illustrate the written material.

Extension programs provide information The Virginia Cooperative Extension Service responds to the citizens with information in the areas of agriculture, home economics and community development and provides programs and information to youngsters especially through 4-H throughout the year. The year-long work of Extension and its agents is recognized during National Extension Week from Oct. 13-19. Agriculture and natural resources The agriculture and natural resources program serves to apply knowledge in the solution of problems that people face as they work to make agribusiness more productive while safeguarding the environment. Its work is based upon the philosophy that people will improve their family’s standard of living as well as the state and national economy through more efficient farm production. Emphasis is given to conservation of natural resources and the environment, marketing and farm business management, farm safety and the application of mechanical science and engineering technology to solving agribusiness problems. Home economics Home economics programs are designed to help individuals and families, rural or urban, improve the quality of their lives. These families may include multiple generations and single or dual parents with varied wage earnings. Families continually face economic, political, social and technological changes. Their need for appropriate, reliable information with which to make decisions to handle change has never been greater. Major emphasis is placed on strengthening family life, increasing economic and social stability, improving nutrition and health and developing management leadership skills for youth and adults. Community resource development Community resource development assists community residents and organizations in their collective efforts to maintain or build better communities. It provides specialized information, research results and knowledge from different disciplines at the disposal of the community. The goal is to apply knowledge in the solution of the problems that people face as they work to make their communities better places. The programs are based on the philosophy that people in the community have the right and an obligation to participate in making decisions about those matters of common concern that will affect their communities. It involves a process whereby those in a community arrive at group decisions and take actions to improve their well being. Thus, the program is concerned not only with what is done in a community to solve problems, but also with how it is done. 4-H and youth 4-H youth is aimed at helping young people become creative and productive citizens, acquire a zest for life and lay a foundation for continuing education. It offers youngsters between the ages of nine and 19 the opportunity to learn by doing in a wide variety of projects in which the youngsters learn specific skills and develop citizenship and leadership skills. The project areas are grouped under animal, plant and soil sciences, creative and performing arts, leisure education and communications, economics, jobs and careers, environmental and natural resources, health and safety, home and family resources, leadership, citizenship education and community development and mechanical sciences and energy. World Food Day relieves hunger pains By BETH STOUT Extension Agent In the wake of the earthquakes in Mexico, the decades of drought in Africa and the fanners’ plight in the United States, World Food Day is an appropriate reminder of our necessary response to world hunger. On Oct. 16, the United States and over 140 other nations observed the traditional World Food Day. The observance provides an opportunity for citizens to study and learn more about world hunger amidst an abundance of food. According to Louise Knowles, writer and consultant on issues of poverty and hunger, there are three kinds of actions that people can be involved in to end hunger: “relief action, development action, and social and political action.” Various organizations exist to channel energies into each category. Knowles states that it is everyone’s responsibility to seek out organizations that can perform the different actions “efficiently and effectively.” incuiuci a in rvapfjahannock County have participated in easing the gnawing pains of hunger in a number of ways — the community garden project, the seniors’ nutrition feeding site, local individuals and churches, and the Social Services Department give financially and make meals to assist people with ongoing and emergency needs. As the community’s awareness and involvement with world hunger heighten and individuals increase contributions to hunger relief organizations, potential donors should do their “homework” before contributing to world hunger organizations. In a Seeds magazine (Feb. 1984 edition), Knowles defined a world hunger organization as “any agency or group involved in the struggle against poverty on a global scale.” Basic questions should be asked to assure the money is being efficiently and effectively used. These questions will allow the donor to become an educated giver. The wise donor should request and review the organization’s latest annual report and audited financial statement that may be obtained on request from most organizations. Further information may be obtained from independent watchdog organizations, such as the National Information Bureau (NIB). The “Wise Giving Guide” is published monthly by NIB and judges hunger organizations’ acceptability in upholding ideals and standards that should characterize all charitable organizations. The NIB address is: National Information Bureau, 419 Park Avenue South, New York, N.Y. 10016. The telephone number is (212)532-8595. The Philanthropic Advisory Service of the Council of Better Business Bureaus also provides information about world hunger organizations. Their address is: Philanthropic Advisory Service Division, Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc., 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington 22209. The phone number is (703)276-0133. Organizational reports should help in the search for answers to the following eight questions: 1) What is the purpose of the organization? 2) What type of action does it engage in? 3) Who is in charge? Who is on the Board of Directors? 4) How does the group maintain ties with people in the Third World? 5) Where does the money come from? 6) Where does the money go? 7) Who decides which projects to pursue? 8) How are the projects evaluated? By answering those questions and doing their “homework,” community members will become wiser consumers of world hunger organizations and know with more certainty that problems associated with hunger are closer to being solved. The following true narrative was written by Gary Gunderson, editor of Seeds magazine and is used by permission. “I like my problems big — global peace, decline of the American family, international trade, world hunger. The bigger the better. “Early this week, I was setting a fast pace down the sidewalk thinking of world hunger. Over lunch I had read of homeless American families — two million people falling between the cracks of our economy. Whole families are on the streets abandoned, often hungry. 1 looked up from my concerned fog to see a house on fire — just three doors from mine. Smoke was already billowing through the living room window and out the door. Firetrucks roared up, and firemen dragged hoses into the house. Knocking out windows, they extinguished the blaze in minutes. The smoke, however, lingered. Broken windows and puddles of water lay on the floor. Though nobody was injured, the home was wrecked. “I hovered around the outskirts until I sensed Things were under control,’ then I hurried on. Someone else would have to invest (an) afternoon helping this (person) — living on social security and food stamps — to wrestle with the insurance company and sort out the mess. Lucky for her, someone else did. “I was not oblivious to the irony of my situation: here was a genuine homeless person who I did not help because I was on a deadline to write a story about helping homeless poor people. “I specialize in big problems, remember. “ ‘Charity begins at home.’ So do justice and kindness. They can only begin at home — they can never end there. In 1985, the boundaries between ‘home’ and the whole human family are impossible to draw. “I looked for a burning bush to lead me to a new promise land. God pointed to a burning house leading to a homeless person three doors up.” Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner 4-H’ERS ATTENDING Achievement Night on Oct. 8 were: front row, 1-r; Jonathan Maeyer, Tracey Thompson, Marsha Freeman and Sherrie Thomas, second row, 1-r; Susannah McNear, Gregory Williams, Jennifer McNear and Kyle Thompson. Back row, 1-r; Elizabeth Oliver, Shane Thompson, Will Oliver, Tommy Gaines and Tim Falls. Extension to improve citizens’ lives National Extension Week is observed from Oct. 13-19, but Virginia Cooperative Extension Service follows its mandate to improve life for the citizens of the Commonwealth in many ways throughout the year. One of the methods is to offer special services on particular topics. Many of these services are available through special facilities and equipment at Virginia Tech or those of other organizations. Information on any service is available through the local Extension office. The following services are available: The agricultural engineering plan service provides plans of agricultural buildings, residential housing and other associated structures and facilities, with emphasis on effective, economical and safe structures. The ration formulation programs aid in feeding recommendations for producers. Many ration recommendations are made at the Extension office in the county, but requests can be made directly to the department of animal science at Virginia Tech. Farm record analyses provide a vehicle by which farm records are analyzed for efficiency and profit. The program not only provides measures of efficiency and profit but with increased use can provide detailed yearly aggregates of farms on a county, district and state basis, and within-the-areas aggregates by farm type, income level and other criteria. The forage testing laboratory analyzes forages, grains, homemixed concentrate rations or complete rations and provides information on the nutrition in these foodstuffs. The insect identification laboratory identifies insects and diagnoses specimens damaged by insects. Recommendations on control of insects also are provided. The nematode assays laboratory provides identification of nematodes in the soil for diagnosis and prediction of nematode disease problems. Control recommendations also are made. The pesticide residue laboratory provide data for the identification and qualitative as well as quantitative information on pesticide residue. For example, if a herbicide has been applied on a com field, can another type of crop be planted on this same field and not be damaged? The laboratory works in conjunction with the State Water Control Board and Consolidated Laboratories in Richmond, if needed, when a state emergency arises involving pesticide residues. The plant disease clinic identifies diseases and nematodes and provides control recommendations for fruit, vegetable, field, turf, tree or ornamental crops. The Virginia Crop Improvement Association, Richmond, works with Extension. It is responsible for the seed certification in Virginia, with the exception of hybrid corn. Certified seed provides the basis for most of the field seed plants. The program has been responsible for the identification of high quality seed and the control of certain seedborne diseases. It maintains a foundation seed farm that is responsible for the increase of new varieties released by the Virginia Tech Experiment Stations and the maintenance of economically important varieties. The Virginia Sheep Evaluation Station conducts a yearling ram performance test and ram lamb performance test. It is located at Steeles Tavern. The chemical, drug and pesticide unit offers a consulting and referral service for questions about these items. It also operates VPIRS (Virginia Pesticide Information Retrieval System) which is a comprehensive computer information system on many agricultural chemicals. It contains such things as profiles of the chemicals as well as technical and newsletter items. Achievement Night held By ALICE REEVE 4-H Livestock Club Reporter The Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club met with other county 4H clubs for Achievement night on Oct. 8.

Sincerely, Marion R. Rowzie We would like to thank all the neighbors, friends and the Rev. John K.

Summons, who passed away ten years ago Oct. 18,1975. God gave us a mother to love, Through many loving and trying years. When God called you home to rest, It left us with much sorrow and tears. They tell us that time heals all sorrow, And the love we share will never end, But "Mother Dear", through all the tomorrows, The hurt is still deep with-in. We know you've found peace up in Heaven And Gods angels watch over you there. We are daily counting our blessing, So we can join you, up there, in his care. 'With you, we'll talk with God's angels, With you, we'll give God ALL the praise. With you, there will be no more sorrow, With you, there will be happy days.

The result is that the prices per head are low in what experts say is a depressed market. “It’s very critical,” County Extension Agent Lance Kauf said of drought conditions. “Springs are going dry, ponds are going dry, creeks are going dry. A lot of folks are watering (their livestock) out of their wells and holding their breath and keeping their fingers crossed that the wells don’t go dry.” Trees also suffer from the lack of moisture. Area Forester Gerald Crowell said the three consecutive years of dry conditions — coupled with the damage done by gypsy moths — have proven a deadly combination for many trees. “People in the county might have noticed trees dying in the Blue Ridge Mountains and out in the county, maybe in their own yards,” said Mr. Crowell. “A lot of that is due to the drought.” Planners wary of plans The county Planning Commission last Thursday temporarily skirted the controversial issue of whether 835 acres of forest and farmland in southern Fauquier should be converted into three large-lot subdivisions. The planners delayed action on the three proposals — for land between Bealeton and Gold vein — to give the applicants and the commission an opportunity to further consider the requests before they are recommended to the Board of Supervisors for final consideration. The planners will make the recommendations during the afternoon session Oct. 31. The issue is whether the county would set a dangerous precedent by permitting the large-lot development of prime soils that would best be preserved by clustering homes on a portion of the properties. Delmarva Properties Inc. wants special exception permits to subdivide two parcels near Goldvein into large lots. It wishes to subdivide IS*; acres on Routes 17 and 617 into 37 lots and 120 acres into Is lots on Route 615. Carlos and Bulah Setti want to subdivid • 229 acres on Route 605 near Goldvein into 2S larg- , Factory plan debated The Fauquier Planning Commission remains sharply divided over whether a lumber treatment plant should be permitted in the southern part of the county. The plant, proposed by the Michigan based Universal Forest Products Inc., would use arsenic, copper and chromated copper to treat lumber primarily for the housing industry. The planners delayed action on the request until their Oct. 31 meeting. The planted $2 million plant would be on 12 acres at Routes 17 and 805 near Bealeton Planner Thomas Thorpe (Cedar Run District) expressed strong opposition to the proposal, saying he believes the county shouln't invite industry that uses hazardous materials as a part of its product ion process. Admiral: Better image NORFOLK — The chief of naval operations says the capture of an Egyptian airliner carrying four Palestinian hijackers should boost the image of the Navy, which has been criticized recently for excessive spending. “In a day when we spend all of our attention on ashtrays and toilet seats and one claw hammer it's about time that we look at the readiness of < he Navy for what it really is — the most ready Navy that this nation has ever had, and we’ve gained that in fi\e years."

‘Special’ fall colors revealed By LYTWOOD Rappahiiinock Newt Special Writer A green leaf may be likened to a beam of white light. The elemental colors of “white” sunlight — visible to us as a rainbow — are revealed only under very special circumstances. Likewise, our yearly display of leaf colors is actually a revelation of the multicolored amalgam of pigments present in a “green” leaf. The circumstances of this seasonal revelation are, indeed, very special. Showy autumnal tree-colors may be predictable and commonplace, but they are by no means a widespread phenomenon. Outside the deciduous forests of eastern North America, such an annual display of colors can be seen only in parts of western Europe and eastern Asia, and a few very restricted areas elsewhere. What are the special circumstances that bring about the sudden, striking turn of colors each October? Fall color list Each year, trees of the mountains and Piedmont of Virginia exhibit an outstanding variety of colors. The list below gives a hint of the magnificence of northern Virginia trees in autumn. Because of variations in weather, site, genetics and personalities of individual trees, this list is not infallible. Our colorful tree species actually defy such categorization. • RED: red maple, northern red oak, black oak, sassafras, sumac. • SCARLET: black gum, scarlet oak, pin oak. • YELLOW: sweet birch, yellow birch, elm, willow, tuliptree. • PURPLE and YELLOW: ash. • RUSSETTED YELLOW: basswood, sycamore. One tree worthy of special mention is the sugar maple. It is the Queen of the Maples, gracing many of our village streets and presiding over the deepest, remotest, most fertile mountain coves. Its autumn foliage is a variable, simultaneous display of brilliant scarlet, crimson, orange and clear yellow. This is an important economic question in northern Virginia, where the tourist trade is so significant. The answer is a complex one. It involves the interaction of rainfall, temperature, frost and biological responses to the shortening day lengths of late summer. Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives summer leaves their greenness. Its function is to aid in the miraculous transformation of the summer sun’s radiant energy into plant food. As leaf fall becomes imminent in autumn, plants cease manufacture of food and chlorophyll is no longer useful. The green pigment fades away, unmasking other pigments that have been present all along. At first, these secondary pigments aesthetically complement the green chlorophyll. Eventually, they overpower it. We perceive these pigments as a striking array of golds, purples, reds, flaming oranges and clear yellows. Our bright autumnal landscape is accentuated by the deep, everlasting greens of pines, cedars and Canada hemlocks. Thousands of seasonal visitors, known locally as “leafers,” travel the ridges of the Shenandoah National Park each fall to see and photograph the forested mountain slopes. There’s always a great deal of interest among Park visitors in the predicted “peak day” for fall colors. “There really isn’t a peak day,” maintains Dave Haskell, resource management specialist for the Shenandoah National Park. “There’s a period of time — usually about a wreek — when if the people voted, a majority would say the colors are at their peak. “It’s a personal preference,” Haskell continued. “A lot of people like to see the trees when there’s the most foliage and the most variety of colors. Others like it when the leaves are half gone. ” In an average year, what Haskell calls the “peak week” is around the middle of October. “The second or third weekend of the month is almost always the busiest for us,” he said. Haskell explained that shorter Festival Continued from page 1 Estimates of weekend tourist traffic run as high as 80,000 persons. In Sperryville, crafts, exhibits, an art show featuring local artists, gifts, autograph sessions with nationally-known authors James J. Kilpatrick and Eugene McCarthy (who make Rappahannock County their home), live music, barbecues and apple recipes highlight what organizers are calling an “old-fashioned fall celebration.” In addition, the Bromfield Parish Churchwomen will again sponsor a three-house tour, tea party and dried flower sale at the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. On tour is the 240-year-old Greenwood Farm and the 140-yearold home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard McNear, the Rush River House, which once served as a ski lodge, located at the approach to Big Devil Stairs and Meadow Grove, a farm established in 1739 by a land grant from King George III. The churchwomen will serve tea at Ben Venue and box lunches will also be available. Block tickets are $5, single tickets $2 and are on sale at various locations throughout the county. In Sperryville, the more than two-dozen business have come together to put on the Sperryville Apple Harvest Celebration. In addition, the Sperryville Antique Market will conduct its third annual Craft Show, open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., ..erving cider and presenting live music. Some 30 artisans are expected to be on hand to create a myriad of crafts: jewelry, quilting, pottery, stained glass and woodworking. The Little Italian Bakery on the premises will offer a breakfast special both mornings from 9-11. Local artists will be presenting their work at the “Artists of the Blue Ridge” exhibition to be held at Faith Mountain Saturday and Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. Some of the artists planning to exhibit their work include Painter William Woodward of Fauquier County, master guilder Joel Hoyer of Warren County, collage-creator Pam Woods and Linda Taylor, a Sperryville resident who has exhibited her acrylic paintings of crystals in the Washington, D.C. area. Also at Faith Mountain, authors Kilpatrick (The Foxes Union) and McCarthy (The View From Rappahannock) will autograph their work at sessions from 2-3 p.m. on both days. Faith Mountain will hold an open house noon to 6 p.m. on both days. Rappahannock Lions Club will be selling apple butter. Virtually every shop in the community has special events scheduled, anything from crafts, to special red pes, to live music, giveaways. Tour maps are available at various locations in town, a flier produced by the Sperryville Business Council. Sperryville, as the flier states, has “maintained its ‘sleepy little village’ atmosphere. We never did get any shopping centers, railroad tracks, 7-1 Is or stoplights that turn red; ours just wink at you.” And, this weekend, the town should also get its share of visitors.

Va. 22740 God Bless You! 9 # y 9 9 autumn days — not coldness or frost — are what initiates the change-ofcolor process. “It can be 90 degrees and they’ll still turn color,” he said. While weather factors don’t initiate color change, they do affect intensity. Normal summer rainfall and cool autumn temperatures are conducive to intense leaf colors. Ideal conditions for a flaming fall landscape include ample precipitation, cool temperatures and hard frosts. “If we get a hard frost at just about the time the leaves are turning,” said Haskell, “this seems to accelerate the process, and we get a rush of color. All the leaves seem to reach their peaks simultaneously.” Dry weather is another factor that hastens the arrival of “peak week.” But the usual effect of dry weather is a duller landscape in autumn. The extreme drought we are now experiencing, then, does not bode well for weekend color-seekers on the Skyline Drive ridgetops. Rainfall quickly drains from the rocky mountaintop soils. Even in years of normal rainfall, the ridgetop trees are no match for the flaming beauties of the mountain coves. At best, the hickories and chestnut oaks along the ridgetops can be expected to sport mottled yellows and dull orange-browns. The best way to enjoy the autumn foliage is to experience it. Visit the towns, where bright berries highlight the deep maroons of dogwood crowns and where blazing sugar maples shade the streets. Explore the dark mountain coves, where purple ash trees and bronze beeches will embrace you. Wade through abandoned fields and homesteads, over golden glades of hayscented ferns, around brilliant pokeberry patches and beneath wine-red Virginia creepers. Then, unfailingly, and uncaring of peak dates and rainfall measurements, you can experience the miracles of the season.
