Members of the county’s planning 1 commission will be invited to participate, as will Richard McNear, a municipal planner in Fauquier County who drafted the current proposal. No vote on the proposal will be made during either of the sessions. The first of the two scheduled sessions, which are open to the public, is scheduled for Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. in the county’s clerk’s office. Supervisors also scheduled a second session for Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. because “I don’t think we’ll get done in one session,” said board Chairman Hubert Gilkey. BZA interviews Rappahannock Circuit Court Judge William Shore Robertson News will accept public input and interview candidates who are interested in being appointed to the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals. Judge Robertson will interview candidates at the courthouse Nov. 15 at 3 p.m. Two seats on the board are being vacated by Lee Bird and Jimmy Swindler, whose terms expire. Appointments to the BZA are made by the circuit court judge. The county board of supervisors was informed of the sessions in order to offer nominations. More information may be obtained by calling county court clerk Diane Bruce at 6753621 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. When it snows... ...or when it rains Public schools tend to close more often because of snow and ice than because of rain, This week, the downpours changed all that. Still, and in a very short time, the cold weather will play havoc with the public school schedule. When winter comes along — or if we get another week of heavy rains — and places the opening of school that day in doubt, an announcement to cancel school for that day will be made on any one of the radio or television stations listed below. If no announcement is made, students, parents and teachers are expected to report to school at normal hours. Otherwise, an announcement will be made on: WFTR, Front Royal, 1450 AM WCVA, Culpeper, 1490 AM WRAA, Luray, 1330AM WKCW, Warrenton, 1420AM .

On Nov. 5, Virginians elected the first black since Reconstruction and the first woman ever to statewide office. The historic ticket, headed by Gov.-elect Gerald L. Baliles, includes Lt. Gov.-elect L. Douglas Wilder, a black, and Attorney General-elect Mary Sue Terry. In a relatively light turnout, Fauquier voters gave majorities to Mr. Baliles and Ms. Terry, but broke from the statewide Democratic trend in giving Republican John H. Chichester of Stafford County the edge in the race for lieutenant governor. The magnitude of Ms. Terry’s victory also is impressive. In handily defeating Republican W. R. (Buster) O’Brien of Virginia Beach, the state delegate from Stuart received more votes than any other candidate who has ever run for state office. When sworn in next January, Mr. Baliles will be Virginia’s 75th governor and the 17th Democrat to hold the office. Rappahannock County, meanwhile, remained a Democratic stronghold for statewide candidates. Although the 50 percent turnout was even lighter than suspected, the county again voted solidly Democratic, as it had in four of the last six gubernatorial elections. In all, some 930 Rappahannock County votes, were cast for Baliles to the 743 cast for Republican Wyatt B. Durrette. In the race for lieutenant governor, Democratic candidate Doug Wilder defeated John Chichester, 845 to 806.

Storm dumps record rain By PAUL McFARLANE and JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* rtaff writer* So that’s what Gloria was supposed to do to Rappahannock County. Beginning on Halloween night, more than 11 inches of rain fell during a six-day period, with the threat of even more lingering on Tuesday afternoon. The stormy weather forced the closing of school Monday and Tuesday and forced people living in low-lying areas — or those in the mountains who Please turn to page 10 RCHS leaky roof causes patch-up By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News staff writer Rappahannock County schools were closed on Monday and Tuesday due to flooded roads, but the high school was still the center of activity and concern for school administrators and parents. Leaks in the high school roof were made apparent after six days of rain. The school board had budgeted $28,000 for high school roof repairs and had received contractors’ bids for the work on Oct. 29. How ever, the money and the bids were intended for a part of the roof that is not leaking. A consultant from the roofing firm of E.M. Martin advised the school board in the spring that the roof on the right side of the building, or the part added in 1964, would need repairs first. “He based his conclusion on the fact that the new part has a nearly flat roof whereas the rest of the Please turn to page 18 Trash cans catch rain water inside RCHS. Neighbors protest shelter site Bv PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock New* staff writer A Scrabble landowner intends to formally protest a building permit issued to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors to construct an animal shelter near the abandoned Scrabble School. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde E. Dellinger, absentee landowners of property on Va. 626 across the road from the site, have decided to fight the board’s Sept. 9 decision to build a shelter at the school. The Dellingers, represented by Washington attorney David Konick, complained that surrounding property values will decrease as a result of the dog pound, that a shelter does not conform to applicable zoning restrictions, that an increase in traffic will reduce their enjoyment of their property and “the fact that the board made this decision without any advance notice, public hearings or any other solicitation of, or opportunity for, input from the general public or adjacent landowners,” according to papers distributed to Supervisors. Construction on the site has already begun. The Dellingers requested Supervisors to “reconsider its decision not to refer this matter to the Planning Commission for a public hearing, ...to withdraw its building and zoning permit applications and to postpone any construction of the shelter pending the outcome of such a hearing,” according to a letter written by Konick addressed to each board member. If such consideration was not granted, the couple said they would appeal the issuance of the building permit. At Monday’s regular monthly meeting of the board, Konick presented highlights from the letter and asked the matter to be resolved. At the conclusion of his remarks, no Supervisor offered comment. However, following a 90-minute closed session in which Supervisors said they sought counsel from their attorney Peter Luke, Supervisor Richard Latham made a motion to continue the shelter plans as proposed and invite neighbors and interested persons to tour the site and inspect building plans. In a telephone interview Monday night, Konick said the Dellingers plan to petition the county’s board of zoning appeals to challenge the building permit. “While this matter can hopefully be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction,” the letter states, “The Dellingers have been advised that an appeal of the zoning administrator’s decision to issue the building permit must be filed by Nov. 15. If the board fails to act on their request...our clients will have no alternative but to pursue other remedies to protect their rights.” At Monday’s meeting, Konick told the board: “I think you don’t have anything to gain by not holding a hearing.” Konick referred to public hearings as “test balloons.” In addition, Konick submitted to the board a petition containing 120 signatures in protest of the site. Supervisors, who are currently engaged in a lawsuit with local animal rights activists demanding the county to conform to state laws requiring a shelter, originally planned to place the dog pound on private property owned by game warden Jack Bruce. At their Sept. 9 meeting, Supervisors, who were informed by Bruce that he no longer wished to sell property for the site, voted instead to locate the shelter on the county-owned grounds adjacent to the abandoned school building. In his letter to Supervisors, Konick wrote that the couple has owned that land in Scrabble since 1960 and plan to make it their “permanent residence in the very near future.” Konick also said the couple is “deeply concerned...that the board made this decision without any advance notice” which, he said, represents a switch from past practices of conducting a hearing. The county held a hearing to discuss a proposed landfill. “The Dellingers think it is unfair to direct a public hearing on one land use decision involving public facilities and to deprive citizens of the protection the Please turn to page 18 Veterans Day closes banks, county offices Veterans Day, or Armistice Day, which has been returned to its traditional Nov. 11 date after years of being observed on the second Monday in November, is a federal legal holiday.

Local School Boards can decide on AIDS pupils From Staff and Wire Reports RICHMOND — The authority to decide whether a child with AIDS may be barred from public school lies exclusively with local school boards, Attorney General William G. Broaddus says. “The General Assembly has clearly vested the responsibility for these decisions in our local school officials,” Mr. Broaddus said last week in an opinion requested by state Health Commissioner James B. Kenley. Mr. Broaddus said state health authorities are not permitted to determine which students should be excluded from class. Mr. Kenley had asked the attorney general to determine who has the authority to decide whether students with AIDS can attend school. Mr. Broaddus said local school officials should consider qualified medical advice and information furnished from sources such as the child’s physician in determining whether to exclude a child from class. He also said state public health officials may furnish information to school boards to help them decide how to deal with AIDS cases. AIDS — acquired immune deficiency syndrome —is a disease, nearly always fatal, that suppresses the body’s immune system. Most of the victims are homosexual men, but others can be infected through blood transfusions or use of infected hypodermic needles. School officials in many parts of the nation are grappling with the issue of how to deal with pupils afflicted with the disease. The problem surfaced in Virginia public schools for the first time last week when a 5-year-old kindergarten student at a Henrico County elementary school was found to be suffering from AIDS. Si hool officials ordered the child removed from the s 'he , and the child is being tutored at home. Virginia Roundup Drug cases dropped NEWPORT NEWS — Prosecutors have dropped charges in 40 drug cases because they depended on the testimony of police officers now facing criminal or internal charges. “The impact on the street will obiously not be good,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Willard M. Robinson. He said the cases were “routine” and did not involve large quantities of drugs, but “anyone who is distributing is significant to me. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been charged.” In a related development, Police Chief Darrel Stephens revealed that a second group of officers is under investigation in a probe into missing drugs. The officers allegedly were deceptive when asked questions during poly -aph examinations. They were ased whether they had allowed informants to keep drugs, Mr. Stephens said. Sometimes police allow informants to buy drugs for use as evidence in probes of suspected dealers, he said. Sometimes an informant will try to keep some of the drugs he buys, Mr. Stephens said. Since Oct. 1, four current or former members of the police vice-narcotics squad have been dismissed or resigned because of an internal investigation of drug-related offenses by officers. The “couple” of additional officers under investigation are former members of the squad, Stephens said. In-vitro clinic using eggs NORFOLK — An in-vitro fertilization clinic has become the first in the nation to use eggs donated by female patients to make pregnancy possible for women who cannot produce their own eggs, doctors here say. Doctors with the Howard and Georgeanna Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine said two women had become pregnant through the new method. In interviews with the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot published Sunday, they declined to discuss whether births had occurred or were expected. Clinic physicians said they have been using the technique for about a year but hid it until they were certain the technique would be successful and to protect the anonymity of the patients. ‘Dead’ fans crash gates RICHMOND — Several thousand fans of the Grateful Dead rock group rushed the Richmond Coliseum trying to get into the sold-out concert, smashing a window and overwhelming police. About 300 of the enthusiasts got in, and police rushed in reinforcements to contain the crowd, police spokesmen said Saturday night. More than 175 people were arrested on narcotics possession and < itribution charges at the group’s concerts Friday and Saturday night, which drew a total of 25,000 people. Another person, who police did not identify, was arrested for wearing an American flag like a cape. Brits to tour Va. sites About 60 visitors from Great Britain will tour a number of historic sites in Virginia starting Saturday. The visitors are lenders to the National Gallery of Art’s “Treasure Houses of Britain,” an exhibit that showcases much of the best art collected over the centuries in British country houses. The tour will include stops at Monticello, Stratford Plantation, Kenmore and Oak Hill, among other places. The visitors also will make a trip to Springfield Mall in northern Virginia to see the J.C. Penny store where Prince Charles and Princess Diana will view the department store chain’s “Best of Britain” promotion Nov. 11. Some kerosene unsafe VIRGINIA BEACH — Kerosene sold in pumps at service stations in South Hampton Roads may be unsafe for use in home heaters, according to the Virginia Beach Fire Prevention Bureau. High-grade kerosene, grade 1-K, is available only in sealed containers on store shelves in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth and Chesapeake. Gas station pumps sell only grade 2-K kerosene, which has a higher sulfUr content and therefore is not recommended for use in unvented heaters, fire officials said. Use of the lower grade kerosene could cause greater soot buildup, increasing chances of a fire, said Fire Inspector W.W. Davis. Grade 2-K kerosene also causes low emissions of sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, which could pose health risks, he said.

J Unemployment rate soars The unemployment rate in Rappahannock County soared to 12.9 percent in September, the highest monthly rate since August 1982 when it reached 13.4 percent. The sharp increase, which skyrocketed from 5.3 percent last month, is being blamed on an increase of almost 200 in the job force which exaggerates the employment percentage figure in such a small sample. “I don’t see any impending doom," said Jackie Cooke of the Virginia Employment Commission office in Culpeper. Some 2,857 people in Rappahannock were looking for work in September, 2,488 — or 87.1 percent — found it. In August, 2,665 were in the job market and 2,524 persons found employment. Not only did the number of people employed decrease in the September figures, but the number of people looking for work increased by nearly 10 percent. “That’s why it looks so horrible.” said Cooke. “But I think that will level off by next month.” If that assessment holds true this year, the local employment picture should be much improved. In October 1983, the unemployment rate was 3.5 percent; in 1984 it was 3.5 percent. So far in 1985, the lowest singlemonth figure was in March when only 2.2 percent of the job force was unable to find work. The last time that the local monthly unemployment rate topped double figures was in February 1983, when it hit 10.5 percent. “We didn’t have any layoffs in Rappahannock that we know of,” Cooke said. While the unemployment rate was 5.3 percent a month ago, it was 5.9 percent in August. In Virginia, the unemployment rate in October was 5.3 percent, the same rate recorded in September.

We have often observed that ownership has so many advantages over renting. We still believe it, yet there are some who don’t. Take the case of the young family that has rented a new apartment. They are delighted because the rental includes a lot of amenities more than seen in customary rental units. In fact, many of these additional amenity costs are not even passed through to tenants. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. The answer could be future condominium conversion. The property owner may want to have all the luxury physical components in place today for conversion and sale of units some time in the future. When? Only the owner knows — but there is the possibility that, as a renter, you may be left in limbo when the conversion date arrives. On the other hand, if you BUY your own home or condo unit, you'll never have to worry about looking for another place to live. The decision and timing will be yours and yours alone.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation \____J Editorials A good move The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors this week made a thoughtful and common-sense move by scheduling a pair of informal work sessions to discuss the proposed zoning ordinance. The planning commission and Richard McNear, the Fauquier County planner who is credited with writing the proposal, are also to be invited. We couldn’t be more in agreement with that course of action. Having heard the arguments of those directly affected by such legislation — the people and taxpayers — and having been given an opportunity to ask specific questions about the ordinance to the most knowledgeable source —the man who wrote the proposal — Supervisors have set themselves up for a well-informed decision when it comes time to vote on a new zoning ordinance. The mechanisms to a better understanding of a most complex document are in place. We hope they are used to their fullest. A bad move How would you like it to wake up one day and discover somebody was building an animal shelter—a dog pound, if you will—across the street from your home and you were never told about it until the bulldozer moved the first ounce of Earth? We suspect that would not be a welcome sight. It was a question put to the Board of Supervisors this week. The only problem was that Supervisors should have been the ones asking that very question weeks ago. When the board decided to build the shelter on countyowned lapd near the Scrabble School, it appeared to be a good idea. But those entrusted with the public welfare of this county forgot to ask neighbors what they thought. We suspect they conveniently forgot to ask because they knew all too well what the answer would be. Dog pounds, like county landfills, are necessary to the betterment of the county. But, like landfills, no one wants a dog pound built within earshot of their home. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde “Jack” Dellinger told Supervisors they have a fight on their hands over the legality and ethics in not holding a public hearing before beginning work on the dog pound. We are not the least bit surprised that the Supervisors find themselves in yet another fight with disgruntled citizens. Moreover, considering the way the matter was handled, the Supervisors themselves should not be the least bit surprised. No decision — again We can talk about being penny-wise and dollar foolish until we’re blue in the face to make our point. Or, we can simply go out to our public high school and stand in the rain. And never leave the hallway. Or the gymnasium. Or the locker room. » The high school needs its roof repaired. A Phi Beta Kappa key is hardly necessary to see that. It is also apparent the roof will not be quick-fixed. So let’s not try. Let’s do what has to be done and keep the students dry. Rappahannock heritage— The panoramic scene from Viewpoint Overlook above Harris Hollow. Are your schools good ones? From the information offices, College of William and Mary They are the perennial cocktail party questions: Are your children getting a good education? Are the schools in your town good ones? Are your children’s teachers competent. If people you know say theyhave the answers to those questions, don’t be too sure, according to a professor in the School of Education at the College of William and Mary. Robert J. Hanny, a faculty member who specializes in curriculum development, instruction and standardized testing, says that many people form ideas about what’s happening in local education based on partial information and the prevailing public relations image, not on scientific fact. “We tend to be easily influenced in our attitude of what’s going on in education by the media, not necessarily newspapers or television, but prominent people who write and speak about education in general,” said Hanny. Often, politicians who decide :hey want to make their mark in education merely succeed in implanting their own perceptions in the public consciousness, he said. “Two years ago, you couldn’t pick up a newspaper without reading a front page story about the ‘crisis in education,’ ” Hanny said. Reports such as “National at Risk” by the National Commission on Education resulted in a kind of crisis mentality among educators, many of whom became defensive about their profession. Today, Hanny said, the crisis stories have subsided, “but there is no evidence that there are any profound differences in the quality of the teacher corps in this country. I suspect that the status of teachers or the state of education is a perceptual phenomenon. In general, I don’t think education is any better today than it was two years ago., In the long run, however, the widespread promotion of the importance of education has benefitted the field.” Still, Hanny said he believes the quality of teachers and the education they provide is stable. “If there were any serious questions about teacher morale,” Hanny said, “then it seems that graduate education programs would decline or die out.” But that, Hanny said, is not the case. Graduate students seem to be “pursuing degrees out of a sense of pride and professionalism rather than for status or money,” Hanny said. “There isn’t a quick or direct payback for coming to graduate school.” Although enrollments in the education schools in colleges across the country dipped considerably in the early 70s, the number of college graduates going into teaching has been rising steadily. Plus, a National Teacher Examination is being used for the first time. But good test scores and enrollment figures don’t tell the whole story, said Hanny. The best way for the parent to find out if their child’s school is a good one is to visit the school. “Look for intelligent people who are on the ball,” Hanny said. “Talk to the principal, or to the teacher. If you’re confronted by someone reasonably intelligent and competent, that’s the best clue to what’s going on in the school.” Letters to the editor Waites benefit: 6The power of caring’ To the editor: We would like to thank everyone who took part in the benefit dinner for the Jessie Waites Fund. As Steve Scoggin said, “Never underestimate the power of caring.” Daphne Hutchinson Castle ton The Rappahannock News invites and encourages its readers to send letters to the editor. Letters must reach the editor by noon Tuesday to be considered for publication that week. Letters can be mailed to P.0 Box 59, Washington, Va., George Bowles A boring, historic, tepid year Historians looking back on the 1985 statewide campaigns will no doubt spot political benchmarks and insights which were less clear to contemporary observers. However, most of those on hand at the event agree it was, on the surface, the most lackluster election season in recent memory. And yet it was, somewhat paradoxically, the most expensive by far in Virginia’s history. In final pre-election financial statements filed last week, Republican gubernatorial candidate Wyatt Durrette revealed collections of $3.65 million while his Democratic rival, Gerald Baliles had garnered $3.54 million. Thus the two candidates gave the state its first $7 million governor’s race. The amount comes to more than $2.50 for every registered voter in the Commonwealth. In the lieutenant governor’s contest Republican John H. Chichester collected $792,000 while Democrat L. Douglas Wilder reported contributions of $594,000. Republican attorney, general candidate W. R. “Buster” O’Brien had collected $878,000 while Democrat Mary Sue Terry . outpaced him with contributions of $1.27 million. Yet, with all of those resources, the candidates were unable to hype their campaigns in such a way that the Virginia electorate became excited about them. For the vast majority of the voters, regardless of their political leanings, it has been a ho-hum affair. There are a number of reasons for that, some of which are already evident. The first of those was the near absence of innovative positive issues introduced by the candidates. It has been noted that positive Please turn to page 5 off , the ^ cuff 4 Paul j McFarlane Mr. bmith went to Washington. Shirley Temple went to the United Nations. Maybe Caroline Baumgardner will get a crack at the Richmond political scene. Afterall, it would be the only fair thing to do. She certainly did more than her share to swing Tuesday’s gubernatorial election to the favor of Democratic nominee Gerald L. Baliles. And the girl is ineligible to vote. When Baliles made a whirlwind visit to Rappahannock County on Oct. 11, in an effort to get his smiling mug in this Gov. and C.B. newspaper to influence the county’s 3,300 registered voters, he could not have found a better campaign companion than Caroline Baumgardner. Caroline, you see, is a precocious five-year-old blonde who is anything but camera-shy. To say Caroline is bashful is like saying Washington Redskins’ quarterback Joe Theismann shuns the spotlight. Or that Rappahannock County Supervisor Nelson Lane enjoys keeping a low profile. It’s like saying it rained a little in these parts this week. Caroline took a hankerin’ to Baliles, hanging on his neck, leading him by the hand from Main Street to the county courthouse (which is no easy task given the candidate’s Olympian-like walking speed), providing a photo opportunity even the candidate’s advance men would be hard-pressed to eq lal. Baliles was no fool. Candidates wish and hope for such luck in their ump-teen dozen stops each day along the campaign trail: Kiss as many babies as possible and get your picture taken with as many cute girls the town has to offer. Caroline fit both bills on the candidate’s trip to the county’s seat. Plus, Caroline’s daddy, Doug, is the local Democratic chairman. Caroline, meanwhile, seemed like she couldn’t care less, fidgeting on the couch in her daddy’s law office waiting room, whining the way five-year-olds whine when they are told to stop pulling at the dress, to sit up straight and to behave themselves. She was not terribly impressed by the whole scheme of the afternoon. She has become somewhat of a “celebrity,” according to her father, who, like most fathers, would just as soon his daughter learn to sew and cook and avoid those other activities which are sure to cause a rash of headaches during the formidable years. Her picture even appeared in something called New Dominion, a selfpromoting campaign tabloid, inserted into newspapers last week, trumpeting how wonderful life would be with Baliles as governor. (Let’s hope he brings his wife along to cook. All Baliles knows how to make coffee, according to his wife who stopped in Sperryville long enough to havener picture taken and disclose her husband’s kitchen inadequacies.) Once again, Caroline was pictured in the arms of the governor. So Caroline is to be rewarded, if Jerry knows the first thing about cronyism in politics. The governor had J.J., according to a CBS sitcom a few years back. Of course, J.J. was the governor’s daughter, so she already had a way in the front door. But Caroline could, for instance hold any one of a number of offices. No matter what the press reports, television shots and photographs of her could do for that office what she did for Baliles: Win over the populace. Her daddy went to Virginia Military Institute, so maybe she could head the Virginia Militia, which there probably isn’t one. She walks as fast as Baliles, maybe department of transportation. We learned that the governor cannot cook to save ms life. Maybe Caroline could see to that chore. The attorney general’s office could always use another pretty face. Or, maybe she could just be press secretary to the governor. Lord knows, after George Stoddard, a former Winchester Star reporter and PR man for Chuck Robb, we could all use a pretty face in the capitol. Governor and Miss Baumgardner.

The election Continued from page 4 campaigns in Virginia are very difficult to engineer. The reason for that is, with the exception of a very narrow range of politically acceptable issues, any positive position is suspect of being tainted, however slightly, with — perish the word! —liberalism. Thus efforts at political creativity in the state are pretty much limited to education and law enforcement, with the caveat that the politician has to handle education very gingerly. Thus we had a situation where every candidate, from the nominee for governor on down, came down hard on law ’n’ order and sounded a good deal of the time as if he were running for sheriff. After a few months of this it became a thin diet on which to nourish voter interest. In making its editorial endorsements of candidates last week, The Roanoke Times and World News put it very well. The paper favored the bids of Wilder and Terry, but declined to cho jse between Baliles and Durrette. Saying both candidates had the basic competence to run the affairs of the state, the editorial noted each had a “powerful liability.” Durrette, said the Roanoke paper, promotes the key issues on the far right agenda. Indeed, Durrette appeared to have moved farther to the right " as the campaign progressed, supporting supervised prayer in public schools and opposing abortion even if one of his own daughters were made pregnant by a rapist. On the other hand, said the editorial, Baliles “represents the alarming outbreak of tepidity in modem politics.” This tepidity, of course, was due in part to Baliles’ awareness of the dangers of wandering into the political minefield of positive issues, and in part to his reserved and therefore unexciting personal political style. But perhaps one of the major contributing factors to the election year lethargy had been in the names on the ballots. All of them, with the possible exception of Baliles, were almost totally unknown to the state’s vast electorate just a few months ago. Virginia voters are suspicious of anything new, and here was an unknown gaggle of strange new people running for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. Where were the names they knew, and either revered or hated? Where were the Byrds, Godwins, Daltons, Howells, Millers, Robb and all the rest which they had remembered seeing on the statewide ballots? Those gave your apathetic voter a sense of continuity of security and a feeling that he or she was nestling safely in the bosom of worry-free Virginia conservatism. But this new crowd was another matter. Best not get involved with them until more was known about them. One citizen, who was asked about her choice last week, sniffed, “I don’t expect to vote. There is no one of substance running this year.” And then, of course, there was the historic fact that for the first time a black, Wilder, and a woman, T’erry, were holding ^wn the second and third spots on a major party ticket in the commonwealth. It was all too much for some Virginia voters to cope with, and many of them, from the outset, made no effort to cope. The effect of the formal entry of blacks and women into the competition for statewide office is one of the long-term questions which those historians of the future will be studying. But for the moment, the voters of the Old Dominion are wrapping up an election season which has been, at once, one of the most apathetic yet one of the most interesting one of the quietest yet one of the most historic, in the long chronicle of the commonwealth. 35 YEARSAGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Nov. 2, 1950 edition Miss Mary Massie Lea, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.C.

From seeds to sprouts By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent. Agriculture Sprouts, to be used for salads, casseroles, sandwiches or omelettes are becoming so popular that they are regularly available in grocery stores, but they are easy to grow at home. If the family likes sprouts, a family member can become a home vegetable gardener and grow them with a minimum of materials. Buy seed specifically sold for eating as sprouts. It is available from most seed catalogs and health food stores. Seed sold for vegetable gardens is unacceptable because it is often covered with pesticides or fungicides. Some seeds used for sprouting are alfalfa, wheat, sunflower, lentils, mung beans, onion, peanut, celery, kidney, pumpkin, radish, barley, lettuce, dill, parsley, sesame and fenugreek. There are several methods of sprouting seeds, but probably the easiest and most reliable way is to start with a wide-mouth jar, such as a quart mayonnaise jar. Cheesecloth or a stainless steel screen can be attached to the top with an elastic band or a wide-mouth ring from a camjngjar. Equipment designed for sprouting seeds is available for those who want to purchase it. Often it has plastic mesh screens so that rust is not a problem. Start with a small amount of seed — about a tablespoon for smaller seed or a quarter of a cup for the larger seed. Soak in water for 12 to 24 hours. Attach the screen and pour off the water. Rinse twice in cool water and pour off the water each time. Tilt the jar, bottom up, in a bowl or near a sink so that excess water will drain. Repeat rinsing and draining twro to three times a day. There is some controversy over whether sprouts taste bett • if grown in light or in the dar,., t> .. it is really a matter of personal preference. Sprouts growm in the light are greener and have a stronger taste. To keep sprouts white, put them in a cupboard or other warm, dark place. If they’re hidden in a cupboard, it is helpful to put a note on the outside to remind yourself to rinse the sprouts. Let the sprouts grow until they r 1 Photo courtesy/Mid-Atlantic Stihl DOUG SHENK won an Outstanding Sales Performance award in chain saw sales from Mid-Atlantic Stihl, Inc. at ar> annual dealer’s convention in Virginia Beach. Shenk is a Front Royal dealer at Sheitk’s Rusco Window Co. are the size the family likes. Taste them at various sizes to decide. When sprouts are ready for eating, usually after three to six days, rinse off the hulls and drain thoroughly. Store in plastic bags in the refrigerator. Small seeded sprouts keep fairly well for a week or more, but larger seeds ones should be eaten within a few days.

4 hunter’s wife is a special breed of lady By BOB MC MEANS Rappahannock Neva Special Writer S Have you ever really thought what it’s like to be a hunter’s wife? I v nave, and I’ve come to some awesome conclusions. First, these ladies are very toler- r ant. Tolerant of dirty clothes, smelly t socks, mud, muddy boots, dogs, dog hair, expensive clothing (hunting j clothing), necessary new guns, ^ bows, arrows, ammo, long underwear, hats and, most of all, time! Can you imagine being awakened by the clomp, clomp of boots in the j bedroom at 3 or 4 a. m. on a Saturday } while the hunting husband stomps £ around trying to be quiet? j Try to think what it’s like being t left alone with the kids weekdays while the husband is at work, only to ^ be left alone on weekends while the hunting husband is away with his } friends. , Think about the quiet, neat, or- ‘ derly life of the wife and mother when the hunting husband and father returns, dirty, smelling of buck lure, wood smoke, covered in mud and blood. Then he has the audacity to wonder if dinner is ready. Does i PEPCO readies for winter The Potomac Edison Company is conducting a program designed to reduce heat loss and decrease heating bills of low-income customers who heat with electricity. The project, called WRAP, which stands for Weatherization Residential Assistance Program, is available to homeowners and renters who meet state energy assistance guidelines. The two-year load management experiment will reach 120 homes in Virginia, providing funds for materials to be installed in the homes of residential customers who meet state low-income energy assistance guidelines. Also, the program includes a free energy analysis, workshops for consumers on weatherization agencies on ways to conserve energy, provide (free of charge) electric water heater insulation jackets, electrical outlet draft seals, door sweeps and lowflow shower heads. More information concerning the program may be obtained by calling or contacting a Potomac Edison Residential Services representative. * Additionally, the company is offering an Average Payment Plan to ease the crunch of winter’s high energy bills. The customer’s 12-month cost of electricity is averaged into 12 equal payments instead of six, bi-monthly payments. More than 41,000 of the Potomac Edison’s customers — or about 17 percent — currently participate in the program. The plan is designed to avoid paying larger bills during the peak heating or cooling periods of the year. The customer’s annual electric bills will be averaged into 12 payments based on actual electricity usage. Customers may sign up for the Average Payment Plan by contacting their nearest Potomac Edison office. tie kiss him or hose him down first?

The hunter remembers the big mck, the limit of rabbits, the huge locks of geese and the first bear he ver saw. The wife remembers the chunks f bloody meat he deposited on the dtchen counter and expected her to ender into edible portions, package, nd put them into the freezer, while ie rests up from the long drag out of he woods. What about the time years ago irhen you conned your new wife into ;oing along on a hunting trip to the nountains just before the snowtorn hit? The days of misery she eniured while she kept the tent warm, ;ooked the meals, washed the iishes, went to the outdoors bathroom, froze her feet, while you valked the woods and came in each fight, each lunch time, even for late jreakfast to a warm tent and a hot meal. Her only pleasure came when she got into the car on the way home and felt some real heat on her poor cold feet. That was the end of that, and she decided you could go without her the next time. She would be busy! Then the kids came along and she no longer had to make excuses. She really was busy. I guess out of the nearly 20 years I’ve been married, my wife has spent about two years alone or with the kids for company, while I’ve been away on hunting trips. While I’ve traveled to Alaska, Idaho, Colorado, Canada, Maine, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Maryland, West Virginia and many, many weeks and weekends here in Virginia, she’s traveled to the PTA and A&P and the 7-Eleven. Wife, mother, butcher, cook, washwoman, valet, lover, friend, companion . . . maybe much, much more. A hunter’s wife is a very special breed of lady. The next time you go on a oneday trip, just try to do it all without her. Bet you can’t! How about just trying to find 1 your hunting clothes without her < help? Can’t be done! 1 How about the laundry during i hunting season? Want to try that? ; How about the care of your , game? Want to eat hair and feath- j ers? Then try to do it all yourself. ! Yes, the hunter’s wife is very special, very special indeed. She’s all lady all right, and aren’t you glad of that? i Have you hugged your wife, lately?

I have hunted a total of nine days and have seen at least 25 deer, but thus far have not taken a shot. I have had the pleasure of introducing some young men to bowhunting this season — some of the same guys that I coach in 4-H.

Small Cars dangerous in crashes Small cars are twice as likely to be involved in fatal crashes than bigger cars, and more than two times the number of highway fatalities occur to occupants who ride in smaller cars, according to the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles. “When a subcompact collides with a large car, the small car occupants’ chances of being killed are eight times greater than if they were in a large car,” according to DMV Deputy Commander John T. Hanna. With only 16 percent of Virginia’s drivers wearing seat belts and the continued use of small, or compact, oars, drivers need to learn improved driving skills to offset the bigger crash risks, according to Hanna. Survival space is limited in smaller cars, the DMV says. In a crash, occupants are more likely to be thrown against the dashboard or crushed by buckling metal. “That’s all the more reason to wear lap and shoulder safety belts and buckle small children in child safety seats,” said Hanna. The U.S. Department of Transportation predicts that by 1990, about 65 percent of the cars on the road will be compacts, subcompacts or mini-compacts. By 1995, that group of vehicles is expected to jump to about 85 percent of the vehicle mix. The DMV offers tips to drivers of small cars: - Wind resistance is a big factor in controlling small cars, especially at high speeds. Drive within the posted' Friends flock to find Big Bird!

There were also reports o: flooded basements and power anc telephone outages scatterec throughout the county. It was what weather forecasters predicted Hurricane Gloria would bring with her when she assaulted the East Coast in late September. But the six-day period of the latest storm, combined with an October rainfall of some 6.7 inches, dumped more rain on this area than had been recorded in the first six months of the year. Sperry ville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield reported that October and the first five days of November provided more rain to Rappahannock than had been recorded during the period from January to June. In addition, Wingfield reports the latest rainfall is the heaviest at any one stretch “since I’ve been keeping records, and that’s been 20 years.” The rain began Oct. 31 when 0.21 fell. On Friday, another 2.61 inches were recorded and Saturday’s rainfall measured 0.93 inches. On Sunday, the county was hardest hit by the storm. Wingfield recorded 4.04 inches of rain Sunday, 3.26 inches Monday and 0.14 on Tuesday morning. The threat of rain continued into Tuesday afternoon. The storm, which blew in off the Atlantic Ocean pushed by westerly and northwesterly winds, soaked the Mid-Atlantic States over the weekend and was heading north into Pennsylvania by mid-week. Such a storm, Wingfield said, Angela Pullen clutches umbrella, package through rain in downtown Washington. Massies receive award On Oct. 24, at a banquet held at Graves Mountain Lodge near Syria, the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District presented an outstanding conservation award to a recipient from each of the five counties in the district.

With no place to go, rainfall in this part of the state is often times greater than the land to the east of Rappahannock. The storm was a stark contrast to the summer months, and even to the early portion of October. Up until Oct. 19, Wingfield reported a 55-day rainfall of only 0.14 inches. But in the next three days, that total was easily surpassed. Wingfield recorded 2.05 inches of rain Oct. 20, the day of the house tour and Sperryville Apple Harvest Celebration, another 1.08 inches on Oct. 21 and 1.81 inches more on Oct. 22. Other disruptions blamed on the storm include disruption to some postal deliveries and water and mud damage to roads. County postal service was disrupted due to road conditions in Sperryville and Flint Hill. The Sperryville carrier could not deliver mail on 20 miles of his 70mile route because some roads along that route were closed. He could not deliver in Jenkins Hollow or Old Hollow. “Some people are walking out, but they can’t drive out,” said Aileen Johnson, Sperryville Postmistress. “Some of our customers have called and told us not to try to deliver to them, and that’s when we listen.” The Flint Hill Postal carriers have had only one problem due to a detour on Route 638. “Otherwise, we haven’t had any other road problems, and it seems that more people have come in for their mail,” said Flint Hill Postmistress Mary Curtis. Closed roads were the major problems for the Sheriffs Department, as well, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward. Eight county roads remained closed on Tuesday afternoon. “All of the closed roads are mostly dead-end roads back in the hollows,” Sheriff Woodward said. “The water should be going down tonight (Tuesday) so most roads should be open tomorrow.” Col. Dieter Knuepfer, of the Rappahannock Emergency Services, said there had been no emergency calls for evacuations in the county. “We have the usual roads under water and some people can’t get into town,” Knuepfer said. “We will assess road damage after the water recedes!.

Weekend ‘splash’ made Gorfeins 6 a lot wiser’ Henry and Meredith Hatch Gorfein ford the Rush River every day to get in and out of their driveway on Route 622, and they never had a problem until Sunday night. Sunday at 8:30 p.m. — just as any other night — the couple tried to cross the river in their 1985 Datsun truck only to be pushed down river by the force of the water. “I decided to try to get across, but we were caught and the truck filled with Water,” said Henry Gorfein in a telephone interview Mon day. “We weren’t floating as much as we were being pushed down the river because we could hear the bottom of the truck scraping the ground.” Gorfein said he and his wife decided to stay with the truck until they were sure they were , within a safe distance from the shore. “We had a flashlight with us, and every time a car came by we’d both yell,” he said. “We’re still hoarse from yelling, but no one could hear Shade Road, Va. 622, is blocked by overflow. **=- = ificieuitii iiiui ciuiiueu uut on tne bed of the truck and was able to jump to shore when the truck was momentarily stopped. Henry then grabbed some branches and pulled himself to shore. The couple had spent 30 minutes in the water. Cold and wet, the Gorfeins walked to a neighbor’s house. Rescue personnel from the Washington Fire Department arrived and took the Gorfeins to another neighbor’s house across the river. Their neighbors drove them as far as possible, and then the Gorfeins walked through the woods to their home. “It was a scary 30 minutes, and we were lucky,” Gorfein said. “We might have colds, but we weren’t hurt. Our neighbors and the rescue people were wonderful.” He said he has seen the river higher than on Sunday, but there The Gorfein’s river-bound truck seemed to be more force than ever before. “Our truck is now about a mile down in the middle of the Rush River,” he said. “As soon as the wa ter subsides, we’ll have it towed out.” Until then, the Gorfeins plan to stay in their home. “We’re here for the duration,” he said. ‘The experience has made me a lot wiser.” - By JANE BANGLEY Fire truck battles, beats washout While the Gorfeins were swept away in their light pickup, it took a fire department tanker track to plow through Harris Hollow and return five people to the comforts of home. Rescue squadsmen stopped traffic and closed Va. 622 during efforts to pluck Henry and Merideth Gorfein from the hard-charging river. For Mary Beth Rustic, her boyfriend and her daughter, that posed a problem; how to get up the mountain to her cabin above Harris Hollow. Mary Beth was returning from Culpeper Sunday night when she came upon the rescue scene. It was about 10 p.m. The weekend rain turned the Rush River into something “like a white water rapids washing through Harris Hollow.” In front of her car was that of a young man whose car was washed into a ditch and no longer operational. Rustic decided it was best to heed warnings of squadsmen. Had she tried to ford the washed-out bridge, “I’d have been in the river, too,” said Rustic, a registered nurse at the Virginia Baptist Home in Culpeper. So, she stayed on the scene turning the car’s headlights on the rescue efforts, with the promise of a fourwheel-drive transport to follow. It didn’t quite work out that way. Rustic followed rescue vehicles back to the Washington Fire Department — by virtue of the blue light barely visible through the fog, she said — where Ray Pullen offered to take his four-wheel drive into the hollow. “Water was up all the way to the headlights” of the vehicle, Rustic said, and the party turned around and retreated to the fire department. Pullen had a better idea. He cranked up the department’s tanker truck and headed back to the bridge, crawling through at a turtle’s pace. “It took quite a long time,” she said. “I don’t think we ever got out of first or second gear.” High school searches for recent grads Rappahannock County High school officials are attempting to contact, or “get re-acquainted with” its recent graduates.

At one point, water from the raging river poured into the cab and “doused” the driver, Rustic said. “I thought we’d lose the truck at one point,” Rustic said. “I knew that was my last chance,” she added. “If I couldn’t get back in the tanker truck, I would have had to do something else” to find overnight accommodations.

Cathy Fink to perform ‘down home ditties’ Friday By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Democrat Special Writer The accolade of virtuoso is generally reserved for classical artists who perform under the conductor’s baton in symphonic concert halls. But Cathy Fink, the folk and country music star who will appear Friday night at the Gay Street Theater in Washington, Va., deserves the honor every bit as much as highbrow performers. She might be a lowbrow banjo player who flails country and bluegrass tunes and down home ditties rather than uptown sonatas and concertos, but she’s no less the virtuoso. Her fingers blur as she clawhammers, a single finger hitting the strings on the downstroke, no picks, no plucks. Her banjo rings with the rhythm country dancers need, the pulsating cadence begging for doggers’ flying feet. Her rich, earthy voice is stronger and bigger than her compact 5-foot-4 frame should produce. On country swing and rockabilly numbers, it strikes just the right note of light liveliness; on songs of love and loss, its timbre changes, taking on greater depth and resonance. Never is there a trace of nasal twang. Even her yodels are throaty. Ms. Fink is an anomaly in the music world — a performer singing bluegrass and country songs that don’t always center on the themes of cheating hearts and honkytonk angels. “The acoustic music scene is male heavy,” she said. “A lot of country music,' a lot of bluegrass music, is sexist, male oriented. There aren’t many songs that a woman can feel confortable singing.” It feels “weird" to sing about some guy’s little darling, she said, adding that when she plays that kind of song with a male partner or with a group, she limits her contribution to joining in on the chorus. When she goes solo, she chooses songs such as Little Darling's Not My Name, an original composition. On another of her favorites, Queen of the Kitchen, the queen of the title decides to leave a relationship after waiting for years for her man to do his share. “It’s for all the women who’ve said over and over again, This is the last time!’ and then one day, finally, it really is the last time,” Ms. Fink Cathy Fink will perform in Washington tomorrow night. Cattle industry problems By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent, Agriculture Although feed prices have edged lower this year, cattle ft ders are still in a financial bind and probably won’t see much improvement over the next few months, some new cost figures from the Department of Agriculture report. If a Com Belt farmer, feedlot farmer or feedlot operator bought some lightweight steers last June and fed them the full six months before shipping them to slaughter in December, department economists say there is a good chance for breaking even. The department’s Economic Research Service examined cattle feeding costs in a recent outlook report. A 600 pound feeder steer last June, on the average, would have cost about $392. The total feed bill, based on projected costs for the six months, included $118.35 worth of com, $36.38 worth of silage, $28.22 worth of protein supplement and $10 worth of hay. Other expenses, such as allowances for labor, management, veterinary medicine, interest, power and losses due to death would boost costs to about $691 by the time the steer is ready for market at 1,050 pounds in December. In other words, for the steer’s owner to break even on his investment, the animal would have to bring the owner $65.81 per 100 pounds when it goes to market in December. Just to cover the steer’s original cost and the feed it ate, it would have to bring the owner $55.75 per 100 pounds Agency projection for fed cattle prices this fall show little change in the pattern. A supply-and-demand analysis based on Sept. 1 crop product estimates that corn prices may weaken even further in the next couple of months as the record harvest moves into the pipeline. Prices of choice steers on the Omaha, Neb. market are expected to average in the range of $52 to $54 per 100 pounds this summer. In the fourth quarter, however, USDA livestock economists say steer prices could rise to $60 to $64 per hundredweight. Thus, in conjunction with those projections, December prices for Com Belt fed steers might still fall short of the agency’s $66 break-even level. Those projected prices, however, cover the major out-of-pocket costs of the original 600 pound feeder and its six-month feed bill.

She writes some of her own songs; the rest she takes from the old-time country music giants, women like Patsy Montana, Lillie May Ledford, Ola Belle Reed, Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerard. ‘The music I p/ay is foreign to most kids, but if I can get them singing and laughing with me, they’ll listen. ’ Cathy Fink “They helped female singers realize there are songs they can sing,” she said. “They were the pioneers of the business. Somehow, their careers haven’t stayed as prominent as the careers of male stars, like Hank Williams,” she said. “But Emmy Lou Harris can make it really big because once upon a time, Patsy Montana had the first million-selling country single re Photo courtesy of Cindy Mahan corded by a woman.” Ms. Fink sees discrimination against female performers in the country and bluegrass music business and she’d like to change the status quo so that all performers — male and female — are treated as individuals, but she’s not a radical. She’s careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water — she loves bluegrass, despite its rampant sexism. She sings her original compositions and the lesser-known work of women artists who have preceded her, but she also sings and plays the classics, her improvisations and daring changes in chord progression which brings a refreshing newness to old standards like Wildwood Flower, I'm so Lonesome I could Cry and Oh, Susanna. She describes her own compositions and her favorites from the country pioneers as “realistic,” not feminist, music. She’s not strident, but she remains a crusader for equal opportunity, pushing for the day when an all-woman bluegrass band can take the stage without the audience marveling, “ ‘Look! Little ladies playing bluegrass! And that girl can flat out flatpick, too!’ ” Ms. Fink has a second cause, the preservation and continuation of the music she loves, and that means introducing it to the next generation. “There’s no excuse for a kid to grow up in the Washington-Baltimore area without exposure to live folk music, traditional music,” she insisted. “It’s time for our school systems to realize that America’s traditional music is as important as choral music.

On Friday afternoon, before her concert at the Gay Street Theater, she’ll sing and play for the younger set at the Rappahannock County Elementary School.

Performing in a school is much more satisfying and gratifying than playing in a bar,” she noted. Of her six albums, three are children’s records. The first, I’m Gonna Tell, was recorded in a single afternoon before a live audience of “dogs, cats, babies, moms, pops, grandmas and grandpas.” Her most recent, Grandma Slid Down the Mountain, received Ms. Magazine’s Top Ten Toy award of 1984, a Notable Record Award from the American Library Association and an Indie from the National Association of Independent Record Distributors. How does she reach young listeners who’ve been blasted by synthesizers and electric guitars and dazzled by Michael Jackson and Madonna? She does it with humor and an invitation to sing along. “The music I play is foreign to most kids, but if I can get them laughing and singing with me, they’ll listen. It almost always works,” she said. “Basically, kids like to sing. They have it in them and I give them a chance to let it out.” Like the kids who squeal with delight when invited to try yodeling, Ms. Fink has always had music in her. She started playing the piano when she was about 3 years old and began formal lessons, which lasted for three years, when she was 8. “Then I lost interest in the piano. 1 Building? • Paint • Lumber • Millwork • Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton 347-1400 I took up the guitar and I’ve never put it down since.” She went on to write songs and master the Appalachian dulcimer, the fiddle and the fivestring banjo. From her native Baltimore, she moved on to the coffee houses and clubs of Canada, her own country and bluegrass radio show, the recording studio and concert halls, festivals, clubs and schools across the country. She was the first woman to take first place in the West Virginia State Folk Festival’s old time banjo contest, winning back-to-back crowns in 1981 and 1982. She’s been featured on Garrison Keillor’s phenomenally popular radio show, A Prairie Home Companion, and national Public Radio’s All Things Considered. She has starred on television as well, in WETA’s Music from Home, Canadian television’s Troupers and Nashville Cable Network’s Fire on the Mountain.

I Virginia elects Baliles ! Continued from page 1 the state, won handily in Rappahannock County, defeating W.R. “Buster” O’Brien, 1,011 to 649. » If was 1077 when Virginia and Rappahannock voted i )f tier" ' ' John Dalton for goverr nor> that tf.e county iasi . rom its Democratic > path. Dalton garnered 849 county votes to 779 of Henry \ Howell. In 1973, Rappahannock cast its lot for Mills Godwin, j a party turncoat who took the county as a Democrat eight '! years earlier. In no other gubernatorial election in recent political j history has Rappahannock voted for anyone but a Demo| crat. Even in 1969 when Virginia elected its first Republican governor since Reconstruction in Linwood Holton, Rappahannock cast its votes for Democrat William C. Battle. Holton’s election broke a Democratic winning streak of of 21 consecutive gubernatorial races. As expected, voter turnout in Rappahannock was light Tuesday. Roughly 50 percent of the county’s 3,265 i registered voters braved the rain and, in some cases, | flood conditions, to participate in what most Virginia political observers called a race in which most distinguisha| ble mark was apathy. Raymond “Andy” Guest, running as an unopposed incumbent for his seat in the House of Delegates representing the 31st District, got 1,372 votes. Some 1,673 votes were cast locally in the gubernatorial race, the highest total of the three contested races. Elsewhere, six write-in votes were cast. At Washington, county Democratic Chairman Doug Baumgardner got one vote for the House of Delegates. At Sperryville, former Washington Town Mayor Dorothy “Dotsy” Davis got one vote in the House race, as did James Fletcher III at Scrabble, where one write-in vote was cast in the attorney general race was cast for Perry Mason, the lead character in a television dramatic series about a defense attorney. Also, Dr. Werner Krebser got one write-in vote at Flint Hill for the House of Delegates. Also in Flint Hill, one vote was cast for Bozo the Clown. Statewide results show State Sen. Wilder of Richmond narrowly defeated his opponent with 665,459 (52 percent). Because of his victory, Mr. Wilder will give up the Senate seat he has held for 16 years. State Sen. Chichester received 618,111 votes (48 percent) statewide. Of the three Democratic candidates, Ms. Terry, 37, made the strongest showing in Fauquier. The Patrick County delegate received 4,487 votes (54.1 percent) in the county. Republican opponent Del. W. R. (Buster) O’Brien of Virginia Beach received 3,810 votes (45.9 percent) here. Ms. Terry won 10 of 12 local precincts. Unofficially, Ms. Terry collected 791,723 votes (61 percent) statewide; Mr. O’Brien received 497,351 (39 percent). The victory means Ms. Terry will give up the House seat she has held for seven years. Unofficially, about 1.3 million Virginia voters went to the polls Tuesday. That turnout represents about half the number registered to vote in the state. In Fauquier, 8,349 (49.7) voted in the gubernatorial race. According to the Fauquier registrar’s office, 16,786 county residents were eligible to vote in the election. Tuesday’s turnout was slightly lower than statewide election figures for the 1981 race, partly because heavy rains caused severe flooding, making travel difficult. Four years ago, in the race between Democrat Robb and Republican J. Marshall Coleman, more than 1.4 million voters went to the polls versus about 1.3 million Tuesday. Leading his party’s sweep of the top three statewide spots, Gov. Robb easily won the election in 1981, receiving 769,422 votes (53.7 percent), to become Virginia’s first Democatic governor in 12 years. Do results signal a new era? By LAWRENCE EMERSON Rappahannock News Special Writer From the podium of Richmond’s John Marshall Hotel ballroom Tuesday night, L. Douglas Wilder recalled that he once waited tables in the venerable hotel. That hotel, perhaps symbolic of Virginia’s old power structure, is a place Mr. Wilder and other blacks frequented only as hired help 20 years ago. How different the scene was Tuesday night, when Mr. Wilder, the grandson of a slave, delivered his acceptance speech as Virginia’s lieutenant governor-elect. Just before Mr. Wilder stepped to the podium, Mary Sue Terry finished her Election Night speech as the state’s next attorney general. The Democrats are respectively the first black and the first woman elected to statewide office in Virginia — a state known for conservative politics, controlled by white mra, Tuesday’s state elections will be ' columnists’ fodder and analysts’ challenge well into the new year, for the Democratic sweep — with gubernatorial candidate Gerald L. Baliles also winning — truly deserves national attention. On the surface, the results prove credible candidates, regardless of race or sex, can win in Virginia. Although many believed that, nobody could say so unequivocally before Tuesday. Certainly former Del. Edythe Harrison’s (D-Norfolk) pathetic run (21 percent of the vote) at U.S. Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) last November was not a good indicator. But, this time, the situations were different. There were no incumbents. The black and female candidates brought deep Virginia roots, government experience and political savvy to their campaigns. They truly are “moderates.” And, that’s why the Democratic sweep in Virginia could send a strong signal to fellow party members and to the electorate nationwide. If the Democratic Party is to compete nationally with Republicans, it must align itself more closely with the electorate. That apparently has happened in Virginia. Mr. Wilder supports the death penalty, laws barring union shops and a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget. He realized the need to reach out to white voters without alienating his own political base, including the predominately black Richmond district he has represented for 15 years in the Virginia Senate, where he has earned powerful committee chairmanships. Similarly, Miss Terry espoused tough law-and-order measures and brought to her campaign a legislative record of cracking down on drunken drivers. Her political power base was built in rural, conservative southwest Virginia. Both, Mr. Wilder and Miss Terry legitimately could claim to be mainstream Virginians. But, Miss Terry insisted Tuesday night: “It’s not the two of us but the Virginia voters who have made history today.” It’s true voters were quite willing to seriously consider two candidates who were untraditional by Virginia standards. But, it also may be true that their race and sex inspired more enthusiasm than their rather lackluster Republican opponents. Indeed, voter turnout was meager — about 50 percent of the more than 2.6 million registered to vote! Polls near the campaign’s end indicated significant numbers of undecided voters, whom trailing Republicans hoped to sway by Elec tion Day. Apparently, the undecided were uninterested and stayed home. Democrats effectively used a popular governor in Charles S. Robb to sweep the top statewide offices for the second consecutive election. The state Constitution forbids the governor from succeeding himself at the end of a four-year term. But so popular were Gov. Robb — with a 70 percent approval rating according to a recent poll — and his administration, that the Democratic ticket was able to run a relatively boring campaign, avoiding tough stances on issues — just like incumbents. Other factors could be considered in Tuesday’s elections: • The bad weather and flooding in many parts of the state. One percent of the electorate reportedly could not reach the polls because of flooding. • The effects of television advertising on the outcome. In a $10 mil lion campaign, Democrats spent more than their Republican rivals. • The possibility that Virginia voters are tired of facing an election every year. Along that line, it is possible that Tuesday s results may force Virginia Republicans, like their Democratic counterparts, to seek a more moderate course and to steer clear of methods and politicians linked to the era of massive resistance to racial integration in the state. The Virginia electorate is becoming more suburban and urban, meaning voters are more diverse and more appreciative of diversity. These are indeed interesting times in Virginia politics. The state can claim a vigorous two-party sytem and it can claim voters willing to try something new. Call it New South politics. But, whatever one calls it, the situation will draw considerable national attention to Virginia politics for the first time in rriany years. NOVEMBER SPECIALS Gold Label $3.99 gal.

Rapp High girls 7th, boys 10th in Region November garden tips By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent, Agriculture •Dead leaf stalks of perennial vegetables such as asparagus and rhubarb should be cut to the ground after their tops are killed by frost. •When time or weather conditions prohibit plowing or cover cropping, you may wish to let your garden lie under a mulch of compost, plant wastes or leaves all winter to be plowed or tilled under in the spring. However, if you want to plant early the next spring, a mulch of heavy materials such as whole leaves may become matted and keep the soil cold long enough to delay planting. In this case, chop organic matter fine enough that it will break down over winter. •Many perennials and rock garden plants may be planted or divided and replanted during the fall. Set them out early enough to establish their roots before the ground freezes. •Peonies can be planted now in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Dig holes 18” and fill halfway with a mixture of soil, compost and a handful of 5-1010 fertilizer. Add a few more inches of soil and set the tubers so the buds are 1-2” below the soil surface. Backfill, firm the soil and water thoroughly. Peonies resent being moved and will not bloom for several years. So, disturb only if necessary. •Reduce peony botrytis blight and hollyhock rust by removing and burning all old stems this fall. This will reduce the carry-over of the diseases during the winter and you will have less trouble next year. •Avoid transplanting shrubs and trees on sunny or windy days. On these days, the roots are exposed to too much light or drying winds that puts undue stress on the plant. •After the ground freezes, mulch small fruit plants such as strawberries. One inch of straw or leaves is ideal for strawberries. Small branches may be used to keep mulch in place. •After chrysanthemums have stopped blooming, cut stems back close to the ground and dispose of stems and all dropped and dried leaves and branches. •Protect the roots of azaleas and rhododendrons with a heavy mulch of acidic materials such as oak leaves, sawdust or peat moss. •Broadleaf evergreens may need to be protected to prevent drying out during the winter. Branches of pines or other evergreens thrust into the ground around the plants work well. Where boughs are not plentiful, a screen of wooden boards, com stalks or burlap tacked to wooden frames will serve the purpose. •If you are planning on having a live, balled and burlapped Christmas tree, dig a planting hole now before the ground freezes. Pill the hole with straw or hay to keep it from freezing. Storing the soil in a garage or shed will give you workable soil when you need it. / Germanna hosts speaker series Members of the faculty and staff of Germanna Community College in Locust Grove are presenting a series of lectures on Friday afternoons.

The Rappahannock County High School girls’ team finished seventh in the standings, fourth among Bull Run District teams while the boys’ unit placed 10th in the Region B cross country meet held Nov. 2 near Charlottesville. Both teams adavance to the Group A meet Nov. 9, held at Piedmont Community College, the site of the Region B meet. For the girls, Karen Ludwick placed 24th, covering the 5,000-meter course in 24:08. The winner in the girls’ division was Debbie Fink of Buffalo Gap who ran the course in 21:14. Rappahannock’s Kathy Dodson finished 27th in 24:21 and Bonnie Grimsley 28th in 24:24. Denise E idson was 38th in 25:42 and Kelly Brown 60th in 30:55. As a team, the girls placed seventh behind the winner, Stonewall Jackson which won with 54 points. Strasburg, also a Bull Run District team, placed second with 66 points. Rappahannock posted 162 points. “The five girls ran the best individual as well as team performances the team has had all year,” said coach Ann Spieker. “This inspired the boys to do as well.” However, the boys mustered a lOth-place finish with 221 points, be hind the winner Stonewall with 66 points. Marley Hay led the boys’ effort with a 27th-place finish in 18-43. Wilson Memorial’s Jeremy Sipe won the event in 16:25, setting a Region B meet record. Also for Rappahannock, Jonathan Watson was 29th in 18:47, Neil Burke 51st in 19:57, John Dodson 56th in 20:09 and Todd Williams 67th in 20:47. “Team placement was not as good as I would liked to have,” said Spieker, “But I was so pleased with the way the team members ran. They supported each other and encouraged each other during the race.” The Panthers were to run in the Group A meet set for Nov. 6, also at Piedmont.

Last week, the team both completed this season undefeated in the conference and won one of the best games it has ever played. In the first game of the week, Wakefield hosted Delaney Conference foe, Tara Reston. After two quick scores early in the game, Wakefield cruised to a 4-0 halftime lead. Then, after a goal from Tara Reston early in the second half, the Owls rebounded behind the scoring of Marc Foerstemann, of Huntly, to a 6-1 victory. In the second game of the week, Wakefield concluded its season in the conference at Word of Life School. The team struggled throughout the first half and was not able to take advantage of scoring opportunities. However, as the second half began with the score tied 2-2. Wakefield erupted by scoring three goals to conclude the game with a 5-2 score, thus giving Wakefield a perfect 7-0 record in the conference. The conference tournament is scheduled for this weekend. In the final game of the week, Wakefield played perhaps the best soccer the team has played all season against a strong Madison team. After Madison went out to a 1-0 lead, team captain John Landis, of Front Royal, soon knotted the score at 1-1. Then, off an assL * from Larry Tarr, of Warrenton, David Rowzie, of Amissville, put Wakefield ahead by the score of 2-1. The team carried the lead into the half. In the second half, the combination of Tarr and Rowzie hooked up three additional times to give Wakefield a 5-1 lead. With the aid of good defense from Jerry McDowell, of Warrenton, and Brian McGushin, of Haymarket, Wakefield held on for the 5-1 victory. The Delaney Conference Tournament will be held at Wakefield on Nov. 9. Games are scheduled beginning at 8:30 a.m. with the final playoff game slated to begin at 3:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Wakefield’s junior varsity soccer team played Woodberry Forest in Orange this week. Jeny Latell, of 1 Huntly, scored against Woodberry 1 but his goal was to be the only one Wakefield would secure thus losthg the match to Woodberry 4-1. The Wakefield team then played Highland School at home. Within the first five minutes of play, Latell I scored the first goal for Wakefield, i Wakefield scored twice again on goals by Emeterio Gomez, of Huntly, and Michael King, of Warrenton. With two goals by Highland during the second quarter and another by Latell, the score stood at 42 at halftime. The score remained 4-2 for the balance of the game. Commenting on the game, Coach Gary Leake said the team had done a good job and that the boys were functioning well as a team in terms of cooperation and leadership. The junior varsity team has two remaining games in the season scheduled against Grymes and Woodberry Forest. The Wakefield volleyball team completed its first season with a first win and a respectable showing in a tournament at Emmanuel School in Manassas. The week’s first game was their last home match against Tara Reston. In the absence of injured Coach Cindy Baker, Gary Leake, Wakefield’s physical education director, coached the team to their first win of the season. Wakefield crushed Tara Reston in the first game of the match, winning 15-0. The team went on to win the second and third games 15-12 and 15-10 respectively, sweeping the match 30. “The whole team played, and the whole team played well,” commented Leake. “It was a great game.” The following day, the team traveled to Word of Life School for the final game of the regular season. This time the team was not as lucky as they lost the match 0-3. This defeat dropped the team’s record to 1-9 going into the Delaney Athletic Conference Tournament. On Saturday, the team traveled to Emmanuel School for the tournament. The girls played well and won their first match of the double elimination tournament. In the second match, they faced Tara Reston, losing the first game. Wakefield struck back with a solid 15-7 win in the second game only to lose the third and final game of that match, 15-10. In the final match, the team was defeated after dropping the first two games. The Wakefield team thus finshed their first season with a record )f 2-11. The new team has generated nuch interest at the school, so much jo that there has been a request to brm a boys’ team next year. Coach Baker commented that the jirls worked hard to organize themselves as a team and lay the groundvork for future successful seasons.

Wakefield students to take Charleston trip By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock Newi contributing writer The sixth and seventh grades from Wakefield School will be traveling to Charleston, S.C. today for a four day trip. Charleston is the largest intact colonial city in the United States and as such will be an exciting host city for this informative school trip. The students will depart from Alexandria tonight by train, arriving in Charleston in the early hours on Friday. Highlights of Friday’s scheduled itinerary include a guided walking tour of pre-Civil War Charleston and its elegant churches, Dock Street theater, Cabbage Row of Porgy and Bess fame and the Slave Market. In the evening, the group will visit the Boone Hall Plantation that was the setting for the filming of Gone with the Wind. On Saturday, the students will er\joy a horse-drawn carriage tour conducted by guides in Confederate uniforms. Following the tour, the group will depart by boat to Fort Sumter where the War Between the States began and the longest seige in warfare endured. The harbor tour will include views of the U.S. Coast Guard Base, Forts Johnson and Moultrie, The U.S.S. Yorktown and beautiful St. Michael’s Church, founded in 1752. On Sunday, after a buffet breakfast, the tour will return to Alexandria via train. The students will be accompanied by Headmaster William E. Lynn and his wife, Pamela, both of whom are history teachers at Wakefield and as such will be able to provide added insight to the field trip. Kilpatrick slide show' Sean Kilpatrick will present the Rappahannock Library’s next program, a slide show on the western National Parks, on Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. A professional photographer, Kilpatrick took his family on a 12,000 mile cross-country trip this summer, visiting national and state parks from Virginia to the Olympic Mountains west of Seattle, Washington. From rain forests in the Pacific ■ northwest to the wind-carved sandstone of the Colorado River Plateau, Kilpatrick’s photography has captured the majesty of the American west. Kilpatrick has lived in Rappahannock County for 11 years and he and his wife, Sharon, have considered it home for more than 20 years. A for mer newsman, Kilpatrick learned photography while working as a reporter and later carried his love of the graphic image over to the pages of newspapers as editor. The Virginia Press Association has awarded him several times for his photography and for page design that emphasizes photographs. Since leaving the newspaper industry to spend more time with his family, Kilpatrick has turned to commercial photography. He most recently exhibited his work in the RAAC show in Sperryville last month. His eye is especially sensitive to form and texture, and his pictures of the American west show National Parks from a different point of view.

Neighbors Continued from page 1 statute was intended to provide in a subsequent land use decision involving substantially similar issues,” according to the letter. Also, Konick pointed out that County Attorney Luke, in a Sept. 21 letter directed to the board, advised Supervisors the state’s attorney general is of the opinion that no public hearing is necessary “to determine whether or not the location of the proposed facility is substantially in accord with the comprehensive plan.” However, Luke added that the opinions of the attorney general “are not binding on any court, should the county be sued over the location of the dog pound.” In addition, the Konick letter, dated Oct. 31, suggests that the Supervisors’ actions raise “a number of serious substantive and procedural legal issues.” They include: The proposed animal shelter is not a use permitted by right in the zoning district in which the property is located^! does not appear that the county health department has approved the use of existing septic systems for the purposes shown in the plans attached to the building permit application; no development plans have been submitted in accordance to provisions within the zoning ordinances. “For these reasons,” the document states, “the building permit issued on Oct. 16 may be invalid as a matter of law.” In other action at Monday’s meeting, the supervisors: -voted to buy its workmans’ compensation insurance through the Virginia Municipal League. The board was told that Clements Insurance Agency in Culpeper notified the county that it no longer wished to carry the policy. -will investigate a bid from a Winchester pest exterminator before awarding a contract at their December meeting. -noted the resignation of Clifford Miller from the Water and Sewer Authority. -renominated T.B. Williams to the welfare board. -noted the resignation of Beth Stout, extension homemaker.' -endorsed Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day as presented in a resolution signed by Virginia Gov. Charles S. Robb. —agreed to enter a proxy vote against a plan to reorganize the Virginia Association of Counties which would place Rappahannock with Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Stafford and King George, and removing a practice of permitting each county one vote. A current proposal seeks to issue one vote for every 50,000 persons within a locality. “I think we’re going to find an increasingly shrinking shoe,” Supervisor Nelson Lane said. -Supervisor Clarence Baldwin was absent from the Nov. 4 meeting. Fuel assistance program accepts applications Applications are being accepted for entrance into the Department of Social Services Fuel Assistance Program. The department, which expects to have about $35 million statewide to put into the program, will continue to accept applications until Feb. 28,1986. The assistance program will run until funds are depleted, but local director Sylvia Kritler said that has never happened in Rappahannock County. “They’ve always been good about getting us more,” said Mrs. Kritler. Last year, some 175 applications were processed locally. Services are available for those one-person households where total earnings are less than $6,564 or where the total income of a fourmember household i« $14,160. Applications are processed within 30 days and written notice is given to those qualifying households. The actual amount of assistance is based on income, household size, fuel used and geographic area of the state. Rappahannock households can qualify for up to $450. In addition, a $2.2 million emer Roof Continued from page 1 building has a butterfly roof,” said Superintendent Robert Estabrook. “Since these heavy rains, though, the roofs in the front hallway area and in the gym have been the first to break loose.” He said he does not fault the consultant since there is no scientific or sure way to determine when a roof might leak. The butterfly, or V-shaped, roof is part of the original school building built in 1959. School workers have placed plastic sheets along walls to direct dripping water from the front hallway roof into trash cans. One front classroom and the library have slight leaks, and plastic hangs from the gym ceiling to a trash can to prevent damage to the gym floor. Estabrook said workers had tarred down heavy plastic sheets on portions of the roof in a temporary effort to stop the leaks. “We’ve gotten it pretty well stopped now,” he said. Steps toward permanent measures will begin when the rain stops and the low bidder on the new roof portion has a chance to look at the old portion. “He will then give us a bid, but I don’t believe we will be able to have the work done for under the $28,000 budgeted,” Estabrook said. “If the bid is more, we’ll have to ask the supervisors for supplemental funding.” Although the leaks are a matter of concern to Estabrook, he said what can be done is being done to repair the roof temporarily until permanent work can be done. “The leaks wouldn’t disrupt classes,” Estabrook said. “We dosed school because of the rain outside, not inside.” The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the country, and not for the benefit of ar individual or a party. — John C. Calhoun gency fund has been established and qualifying households may receive up to $400 beyond the ftiel allotment. Anyone can apply at the Social Services office on Main Street in Washington, or those wishing to apply can call the office at 675-3326 and have an application sent to them by mail. Additionally, $4.9 million of the grant will go to the Virginia Weatherization Program to weatherize homes of low-income families, a program designed to improve long-term savings on heating costs. In the program, fuel bills are submitted to the household’s local service agency, in this case in the Washington office. In most cases, the payments are made directly to the ftiel vendor. Each household will be notified by the state of all payments made to a fuel vendor on behalf of the household. Last year, 113,553 households were included in the program. The average fuel assistance grant was $326. A college education is a good thing, but many a graduate finds himself overtrained. — H. H. Vreeland NUGGETS OF TRUTH| By BILL TAYLOR, § ASSOCIATE PASTOR » Faulty WWsNp Center, Washington, Va. £ THE PEACE OF GOD ? One of the greatest needs of mankind £ in the world today is peace. The world J searches for peace and fulfillment in many* different ways; through money, drugs, ca-£ reers and many other avenues to find thisj peace. The only tree and lasting peace isjy the peace that God offers to those who willg receive it. £ Peace has a two-fold meaning to us. 9 The first is receiving Jesus Christ as our#* personal saviour. We were once alienated? £ from God because of our sin, but making $ if Jesus Lord of our lives causes us to have 0 J peace with God. JF 9 It tells us in Romans 5:1; "Therefore j 9 being justified by faith we have peace j w with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 The second part I want to share with you is j that we can have the peace of God. This j kfcid of peace Is available to us according! to God's word. He promises us peace! when we follow the stepe that are laid out ] tor us in His word ; Phil. 4:7 says, "And the peace of God1 which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ' Jesus.” But In order for us to enjoy this < great promise, we must follow the steps ! laid out for us in verses 4 thru 6. Here the 9 apostle Paul tods us to rejoice in the Lord 0 always. In verse 6. he says to be careful £ (anxious) tor nothing. S This is one of the keys to having the £ PEACE OF GOO. Paul is saying, instead of worrying and being anxious, to rejoice. The rest of that 6th verse says, “but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your request known to Gpd." Paul Is saying, instead of being anxious or worrying, to rejoice, to pray, make supplication or petition, with thanksgiving; and after having done this then the promise in verse 7 of PhD. 4 is ours. The PEACE OF GOO will come on you like He promised. HALLELUJAH! God's peace will come on you, as you believe and trust his word.

Cancer has been one of the major causes of death among county residents, second only to cardiovascular diseases. During the last decade, cancer’s toll accounted for an average of 18.2 percent of deaths. Cancer often takes 20 years or more to progress from its initial event to its overpowering destructive state. Although one often hears the words, “Everytime you turn around, they are finding something else that causes cancer,” there is still hope. Steps can be taken to reduce the risks of cancer. The American Cancer Society, in a recent brochure publication entitled, Taking Control, lists five protective factors to be added to one’s life and five risk factors to subtract. 1 — Eat more cabbage-family vegetables. Studies indicate that these vegetables appear to protect against colorectal, stomach and respiratory cancers. They include broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, all cabbages and kales. 2 — Add more high-fiber foods. High-fiber diets are thought to protect against colon cancer. Fiber occurs in whole grains, fruits and vegetables, including peaches, strawberries, potatoes, carrots, spinach, tomatoes, wheat and bran cereals, rice, popcorn and wholewheat bread. 3 — Choose foods with Vitamin A. It may also help protect against cancers of the esophagus, larynx and lung. Fresh foods with beta-carotene like carrots, peaches, apricots, squash and broccoli are best source, not vitamin pills. 4 — Choose foods with Vitamin C. Vitamin C may help protect against cancers of the esophagus and stomach. Vitamin C may be found in St. Stephen’s Bazaar 1 set for Nov. 15 The annual Christmas Bazaar at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Culpeper is scheduled for Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Parish Hall on Easy Street. The bazaar will also feature a luncheon from 11:30 p.m. to 1 p.m., sponsored by the Episcopal Church women. Other highlights include a doll exhibit and a give-away of a handcrafted welcome sign and a cured ham donated by the Hudson Ham House of Culpeper. Parking is available in the town lot located near the church on Cameron Street. More information may be obtained by calling Ann duFrane at 825-5232 or Harriet Leake at 8250502.

When possible, the fruits and vegetables should be eaten in their raw state. Avoid long exposure to heat. Try steaming vegetables rather than cooking for long hours with fat back on top of the stove. 5 — Control weight. Obesity is linked to cancers of the uterus, gallbladder, breast and colon. Exercise and lower calorie intake will assist in avoiding excess weight. Walking is an ideal exercise for most people and prepares the body for other sports. The fall is an excellent time to walk about the county and epjoy the changing of seasons. Before beginning strenuous activity or a special diet, check with your physician. 6 — Trim fat from your diet. A high-fat diet increases risk of breast, colon and prostate cancer. Cut overall fat intake by eating lean meat, fish, skinned poultry and low-fat dairy products. Avoid pastries, candies and other concentrated sweets. The Cooperative Extension Service Office offers a diet, exercise and behavior modification course through the mail.

Choose bacon, ham, hot dogs or salt-cured fish only occasionally if they are family favorites. 8 — Stop cigarette smoking. Smoking is the biggest cancer risk factor of all — the main cause of lung cancer and 30 percent of all cancers. Smoking in the home means more respiratory and allergic ailments for children. Pregnant women who smoke harm their babies. Chewing tobaccos are harmful, too, as risks for mouth and throat cancers. Pick a quit day now and call the American Cancer Society for help. 9 — Go easy on alcohol. The risk of liver cancer increases with higher alcohol consumption. Drinking, like smoking, greatly increases risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx and esophagus. Alcohol, if consumed, should be done so in moderation. 10 — Respect the sun’s rays. Too much sun causes skin cancer and other damage to the skin. A protective sunscreen — at least a . 15 — and long sleeves and a hat worn especially during midday hours while outside will help prevent damage to the skin. Do not use indoor sunlamps or tanning parlors or pills. Changes noted in a mole or sores that do not heal should be brought to the attention of your physician. Other potential risk factors include excessive x-rays, estrogens and work-related exposures to harmful chemicals and fibers like asbestos. Always check with your physician about the need for x-rays and estrogens. Wear proper clothing on the job and learn emergency procedures. The American Cancer Society is promoting a program entitled “Taking Control” where each of the above risk and protective factors will be presented in more detail. If you have a strong background in health and nutrition and would like to be a speaker, call the Extension Office for more details (workshop dates are Nov. 13 in Staunton; Dec. 4 in Charlottesville and Dec. 5 in Woodstock).

Fall, 1985 Volume 1 Town Culpeper Memorial Hospital • P.O. Box 592, Culpeper, Virginia 22701 • (703) 825-2811 , Number 4 For families who want to stay with loved ones through illness New Hospitality Suite is a big hit When a close family member was a patient in a hospital, have you ever thought that it would be convenient to stay in the room next door instead of staying in a motel or running back and forth from home to sleep and eat? This is exactly what Horley and Jessie Priddle thought when Mrs. Priddle was admitted to Culpeper Memorial Hospital in September. The retired Fairfax, Virginia, couple had been on a bus trip to Montpelier when Mrs. Priddle fell in a museum in Orange and broke her hip. The Orange County Rescue Squad brought Mrs. Priddle to CMH. and Mr. Priddle checked into a local motel. After returning to Northern Virginia for his car, Mr. Priddle learned of the CMH Hospitality Suite from the staff nurses, and the couple moved in for the duration of their 12-day stay. Recently redecorated, the Hospitality Suite has two bedrooms, private baths, and a central foyer where people can meet or have meals. Designed specifically for families who want to stay together, the suite was ideal for the Priddles. The Hospitality Suite "makes it nice for us,” said the Priddles. “We have room to move around.” Another feature of the Hospitality Suite is a gourmet menu, including scallops, beef tenderloin, chicken cordon blue, and stuffed filet of sole. The Priddles sampled this menu and found the regular fare to their liking as well. “We were astonished by the quality of the food and diversity of diet,” commented Mrs. Priddle, a world traveler. An upcoming trip to Holland was canceled because of Mrs. Priddle’s accident, but broken bones have not always prevented her traveling. Last year while visiting China, Mrs. Priddle fractured her ankle. After treatment, she continued the three-week trip even though no crutches were available in China. The tour guide carried her on his back to see the sights. Highlights of the trip were both ends of the Great Wall of China and the ancient capitol of Siam. Stories of far places delighted many CMH staff members who cared for the former English teacher to Capitol page boys in Washington and her husband who was in the newspaper and printing business. To the staff who assisted them when they were leaving CMH, Mrs. Priddle said, "You have been very good to us.” Mr. Priddle joined in, “We have received wonderful treatment.” •w Jessie and Horley Priddle of Fairfax enjoy the recently completed hospitality suite at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Barbara Eggborn, RN, Director of Nursing Education at CMH, leads the “I Understand " program. Nurses brush up on guest relations Courses improve care “Just seeing the ‘I understand’ button makes you feel better when a situation is too difficult to say anything,” said a family member of a recent patient in the Intensive/Coronary Care Unit of Culpeper Memorial Hospital. She was referring to buttons worn by staff members after completion of the Guest Relations course at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. "I understand” expresses our acceptance and compassion for guests in our hospital. Caring and warmth have been major strengths of Culpeper Memorial since the beginning of the hospital. Since then, CMH has grown physically and technologically — recent additions are the CT scanner, nuclear medicine, and ambulatory surgery. The hospital has also dealt with the challenges of reimbursement by DRGs. Concern for the individual is still paramount at Culpeper Memorial even with these developments which are part of the national trend toward more business-like hospitals. Guest Relations is more than the silent button, however. Under the direction of Sue Vaught, Director of Employee Relations, the program was established to enhance the tender, loving care that staff and volunteers extend to those in our hospital. The two-hour course was designed to increase awareness of the importance of effective communications with patients, families, and co-workers. Throughout the summer, Barbara Eggborn, RN, Director of Nursing Education, taught methods of active listening to help staff interact more effectively at work. When staff members understand patients’ physical and emotional needs and give considerate responses to these needs, patients and families are more comfortable and confident.in the hospital setting. Reducing patients’ stress contributes to healing and recuperation. To continue to emphasize awareness of guest relations, a committee of staff members from several hospital departments is working to improve hospitality and to enhance the spirit of understanding throughout CMH. The Guest Relations concept is appropriate for all service industries which are oriented to the consumer. For information on the program at Culpeper Memorial and how it may apply to your organization, please call Barbara Eggborn, 825-2811.

A Memorial to a Special Person Recently the Culpeper Memorial Hospital, the Auxiliary, and the community lost a very special person. Mary McNeil Willis spent her lifetime doing for others, always being there when needed, and, most importantly, being a special friend to many. We have lost a good friend. To me, she was not only a friend, but also an advisor and counselor. There was never a time in Mary’s schedule when she could not make herself available if you needed her. A pat on the shoulder or a hug said what words could not say. The memories of the times that we spent together, whether in a meeting or just talking, are priceless. When I think of Mary Willis, I think of a poem written by Helen Steiner Rice entitled “The Golden Chain of Friendship”. A part of the poem reads, “Time can’t destroy its beauty for, as long a memory lives, years can’t erase the pleasure that the joy of friendship gives. ” We have lost a good friend, but we are better people just for knowing her. Edith Witherspoon CMH Auxiliary, Inc. At the 25th Annual Meeting of Culpeper Memorial Hospital, Mary McNeil Willis, the first president of the Auxiliary, and Edith Witherspoon, current President of the Auxiliary, accept the plaque listing the presidents of the Auxiliary. Dr. John D. Gaare, radiologist, is looking forward to living in Culpeper after living in big cities. CMH welcomes new radiologist Dr. Gaare joins staff In September, Dr: John D. Gaare, radiologist, joined the medical staff of Culpeper Memorial Hospital. A graduate of Loyola College in Baltimore, Dr. Gaare received a Ph.D. in anatomy and his medical degree from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. After an internship in internal medicine at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center, Dr. Gaare spent his residency in radiology at the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York. Prior to joining the radiology group of Stinson, Wagner, Turner, and Davies, Dr. Gaare was a member of the staff of Mercy Hospital, Buffalo, New York. During this time, Dr. Gaare and his wife Ruth, who is a graduate of the law school at the University of Virginia, decided to return to Virginia to live. “After living in big cities, we are enjoying living in Culpeper,” says Dr. Gaare. “It is especially good for our three daughters.” A basketball player at Loyola, Dr. Gaare enjoys many sports, particularly golf, tennis, and swimming.

Modern technology New therapy reduces pain A new machine at Culpeper Memorial Hospital is making recovery possible for patients who were not able to perform painful knee exercises in traditional physical therapy. The continuous passive motion machine means a lot to Glynda Menefee who has been walking stiff-legged for eight months since she dislocated her knee in February. Because the Sperryville resident’s knee continued to dislocate after six weeks in a cast, surgery was performmed in April to pull the knee into place. Following another six weeks in a cast, Menefee could not bend her knee, and the built-up scar tissue in her joint made the necessary physical therapy too difficult and too painful for her to perform. "In her situation, my wife just couldn’t do the therapy to bend her knee,” said Mr. William Menefee. To help Mrs. Menefee regain mobility in her leg, Dr. Robert Rutkowski of Culpeper manipulated her knee under anesthesia, releasing the scar tissue that was preventing movement of her knee. After the procedure Mrs. Menefee’s knee could bend 90 degrees, but her goal was to maintain this mobility and to increase the range of motion. Dr. Rutkowski prescribed the continuous passive motion machine; and after one day on the machine, Mrs. Menefee’s knee was bending 107 degrees. , "The machine has worked out quite well,” said Dr. Rutkowski "For her-to return to normal, it will take work on muscle strength." A recent development in physical therapy equipment, the continuous passive motion machine holds the patient's leg in a sling and moves automatically, bending, extending, and flexing the knee with minimal discomfort. Without the use of this machine, therapy for patients with knee injuries, knee surgery, knee replacements, or strokes is difficult and painful, requiring considerable exertion from the patient and constant attention from the therapist to keep the leg moving. With the continuous passive motion machine, significant results are achieved with little effort from the patient or therapist. Edna Farry, Chief Physical Therapist at Culpeper Memorial, says “The patient can go to sleep while the machine is running.” Mrs. Menefee was greatly relieved by the ease of the machine. “It’s better than going to therapy,” she explained. “It’s gentle and doesn’t hurt so much.” The speed of movement and degree of flexion and extension may be tailored to the ability of the individual patient. As the pace of the machine gradually increased, Mr. Menefee commented, “This is as far as I have seen her knee move in months.” A major convenience of the continuous passive motion machine is that patients can take it home with them, thereby shortening their hospital stays and reducing the number of visits to physical therapy while maintaining a continuous level of therapy at home. There is also an attachment for the machine which electrically stimulates the muscle in synchronization with the movement of the machine to teach muscles how and when to contract. Before leaving Culpeper Memorial, Mrs. Menefee was able to bend her leg 111 degrees. “It feels good to sit down and bend my leg normally,” she said as she prepared to return home with the machine and instructions for exercises to perform on her own. Before her accident, Mrs. Menefee worked at Aileen in Culpeper. “I hope this therapy will help me be able to go back to work,” she said. Glynda Menefee begins her therapy on the continuous passive motion machine with instructions from Edna Farry, CMH physical therapist. Virginia Morton of Culpeper stretches her leg muscles in preparation for use Of the Fitness Course. Exercise for life Good health is our goal Last spring Culpeper Memorial Hospital installed a Fitness Trail on the hospital grounds. Beginning near a hospital parking lot, the trail is a convenient one-mile course with four exercise stations at quarter-mile intervals. Open 24 hours a day to the public, the fitness course can be enjoyed by casual strollers and avid runners. All exercises may be performed at levels from beginner to expert. Constructed and maintained by the hospital, the clusters were purchased with $2000 donations from the Mid-Day Lions and the Rotary Club. The course is a gift to the community from these organizations in recognition of the importance of exercise in maintaining a healthy body. The stations are designed with exercises progressing from warm-up stretches to toning and strengthening exercises and, finally, a cool-down when the exerciser returns to the first station. Instructions and pulse charts are printed on signs at each stop. The course begins on Laurel Street near the parking lot at the rear of the hospital. The route proceeds east along Laurel Street to Redbud Street where the second station is located in front of the hospital. From there, the course continues along Sunset Lane to the third cluster. After the fourth stop on the back lawn of the hospital, the exerciser returns to the first station to complete the course. The hospital’s expanding role in the health of the community is explained by Bill Gravely, President, “Culpeper Memorial Hospital wants to offer ways to improve and maintain health along with providing acute care services. We hope many people will enjoy the beauty and convenience of the Fitness Trail.” Published quarterly by Culpeper Memorial Hospital for the people of Culpeper, Fauquier, Orange, Madison and Rappahannock Counties.

Eddie Bryant and Angus Green of Culpeper serve visitors in the hospital coffee shop. New volunteers sport red jackets Men join CMH Auxiliary Several members of the CMH Auxiliary are wearing a new style of uniform: red jackets. Pink smocks did notseem appropriate for these members, since the ranks of the Auxiliary have been joined over the past year by several men who are volunteering their time at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Eight retired men and one student are volunteers on the reception desk, on the switchboard,the coffee shop, or the gift shop. Manning the reception desk in the evenings are Gilbert Coiner, Phil Kearns, and Edwin Rodda of Culpeper. In addition, Carl Robinson of Orange, a senior at Woodberry Forest School, works a shift on Sundays to fill a community service requirement. Having these gentlemen at the reception desk in the evenings has been a special help to the Auxiliary, because they also open the Gift Shop o visitors during these hours. Henry Lewis of Culpeper works evenings on the hospital switchboard, and John Witherspoon of Reva has been the treasurer of the Gift Shop for seven years. The Auxiliary is also delighted to have Herman (Jiggs) Bowman, C. Edgar Bryant, and Angus Green of Culpeper serving in the Coffee Shop. We salute our red jackets and invite anyone who is interested in becoming a volunteer to call Mrs. Anna Ondek, 825-3273, for an application.
