SAMPLE — Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Greg Turner County Treasurer Frances Foster of Washington trains for the Fodderstack 10-K with her pacesetter Fudge Fodder stack preparations intense Recreation Authority volunteers work months to ensure smooth race By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Special Writer The starter’s gun April 19 will unleash hundreds of runners gathered at Flint Hill for the eighth running of the Fodderstack 10Kilometer Race. But for the Rappahannock Recreation Authority Board of Directors, race day represents the home stretch of a moriths-long marathon to plan and prepare for the annual event. The Authority, which oversees the Rappahannock County Recreation Center, conducts the Fodderstack race each spring to raise money for operation and maintanence of the park. Race proceeds are the Authority’s major source of revenue. Sandra Brown, Betsy Murray, Pat Davis, Margaret Lee, Phillip Strange and Ed Bailey, who serve as the Authority’s Board of Directors, began organizing this year’s race in November. Since then, they and a dedicated group of volunteers have spent “hundreds of hours” attending to the planning involved in staging the race, according to Mrs. Brown. Since Eva L. Smith and Diane Bruce organized the first rynning of the Fodderstack 10-K in 1979, the race has become a rite of spring in Rappahannock County. Its reputation also has spread as one of the toughest 10-K courses many experienced runners have encountered. The point-to-point course follows the old stagecoach route along the base of Fodderstack Mountain from Flint Hill to the finish line at the Rappahannock County Courthouse in Washington. The scenic route skirts pastures and apple orchards and includes the infamous “Tom Lee’s hill” at the four-mile mark, as well as several smaller but still-formidable hills as the runners enter the Town of Washington. Fodderstack 10-K Date:.April 19 Time:...10 a.m. Start:..'...Flint Hill Finish:.Washington Distance:.6.2 miles More info:...675-3621 weekdays .987-8758 evenings The racehas grown from 137 runners in 1979 to several hundred in recent years and the organizational responsibilities have grown as well, Mrs. Brown said. As the runners braved the bitter chill of winter slogging out their training miles, the race committee was busy calling running publications to ensure the Fodderstack was included in their race calanders. Magazines as far away as California were contacted to attract as many participants as possible. Newspapers and radio stations in a wide area als received information to publicize the upcoming event. Sponsors had to be solicited for everything from runners’ numbers to refreshments and trophies. The list of sponsors ranges from local businesses and individuals such as Eileen Day Realty, Washington Video Rentals, Sperryville Realty, Harris Hollow Fruit and Produce, Roger Batchelder, Bill Lyne, Peter and Sharon Luke, Washington Cash Store and Brambes Cafe to corporate donors including Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Fodderstack trophies have become a part of the race’s tradition. This year, as for several previous years, the 66 handmade trophies are done by local potter Jeanne Drevas. June Jordan, another local artisan, has designed and craftetj the awards for previous Fodderstack Races. Twenty-two categories are included in the awards, ranging from the Eva L. Smith Memorial Award for the first male and female finishers from Rappahannock County, to trophies for expectant mothers, senior citizens and walkers. As the date of the race approaches the Recreation Authority directors and other volunteers, including Irving Kenyon, Diane Bruce and Jean Lillard, must contact agencies ranging from the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation to the Washington Town Council to obtain permission to hold the race. Advertisements and entry forms are mailed and posted at local businesses and area sports stores. Local runners including Frank Reynolds and Phillip Strange provide the race copmmittee with ideas and encouragement based on their racing experience. Indeed, all the amenities which the runners expect as a matter of course result from many hours of careful planning. Course safety is coordinated with the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department and the State Police, who provide traffic control at the start, finish and during the race. Although Sheriff John Henry Woodward said the work of the department is “nothing out of the ordinary, just part of our service to the community,” several years ago his men were called upon to round up and return to its pasture an errant horse which had found its (Continued on Page 18) Supervisors must solve trash crisis By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Special Writer Three months ago, in trying to resolve the county’s impending trash crisis, Rappahannock’s supervisors were “seriously considering trying to get another parcel of Mr. (Clifton) Clark’s land approved for a landfill,” reported Robert Forman of the Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management. “They sure enough worked up quite a scheme,” Mr. Forman said. “But that was three months ago and I haven’t heard a word from them since. They know it’s running out.” “Running out” is the capacity at the current landfill on Mr. Clark’s property near Woodville. According to Mr. Forman’s projections of a year ago, the life of the solid waste disposal site would end this April, an expectancy estimate that sent the supervisors begging to nearby localities for permission to dump Rappahannock’s trash beyond the county line. A special committee named by the board had investigated options to opening a new landfill here and recommended contracting with another landfill or a resource recovery facility to dispose of the county’s solid waste. But according to reports, the nearest cogeneration facility in Harrisonburg could take only bumables, which account for approximately two-thirds of Rappahannock’s output, and that for only 11 months of the year. Other resource recovery facilities, either under construction or in the planning stages in Fairfax, Arlington and Manassas, are at least two to three years away. And there were no landfill takers, although county representatives checked through the Piedmont and into the Shenandoah Valley. In an interview Monday night, Mr. Forman hedged a bit on his projection of capacity remaining at the county’s current, privately-owned and privately-operated landfill. “I haven’t been back there in a few months. It’s difficult to pinpoint,” he said. But I’d say at most six months to a year, depending on the flow of refuse.” Mr. Forman said he’ll inspect the Rappahannock site in three to four weeks. “I’m quite a bit behind on everything. I’ve had a rash of illegal landfills — 11 in the last three weeks. I’ve been tied up with that.” The permit issued by Mr. Forman for the landfill on Mr. Clark's property is good until the site reaches capacity. “There’s no expi. ration date but once the area is used up, the permit is void,” he explained. “There are times, under serious emergencies, where we might allow a few extra months to fill in and upgrade while the local government is trying to get a new landfill going.” As in Rappahannock’s case, other counties in Mr. Forman’s ju(Continued on Page 18) Courthouse project set to begin Friday Citizens group seeks to raise $5,000 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Special Writer After a three-year wait, work will begin Friday on renovation of the county courthouse, as requested by Rappahannock’s General District and Circuit Court judges. The judges, who under Virginia law are enpowered to order local government to provide acceptable court accommodations, asked in 1983 for installation of central air conditioning and carpeting and alterations to the courtroom ceiling to improve acoustics. They also wanted a soundproofed jury room and changes in the courtroom layout, including a raised judge’s bench with greater distance between it and the witness seat, designed to upgrade security. Preliminary plans drawn after meetings between the judges, the commonwealth’s attorney, the clerk and Supervisor Hubert Gilkey were abandoned because of problems in compliance with regulations govern ing access for the handicapped. The renovation project was revamped several times before being put out to bid in June 1985 — without accommodations for handicapped access. And still, offers from contractors came in at about $60,000. The supervisors rejected all the bids and agreed to readvertise a scaled-down version of the renovation project, holding the scope to $40,000, the amount included in the county’s 1985-86 budget. The dollar limit meant portions of the plans drawn by Linden architect Warren MeNamee would not be executed. Eliminated were enclosure of the Stairwell and jury box and modifications to courtroom railings as well as courthouse access, court room access and bathrooms for the handicapped. Work slated to starts Friday includes installation of carpeting, cen(Continued on Page 18) Society pushes county to build animal shelter According to Humane Society officer Patricia Saltonstall, Rappahannock is one of the last two counties in Virginia without an animal shelter that meets state standards. To eliminate that dubious distinction, Humane Society President Vince Hannon asked the Board of Supervisors to decide if the proposed site at the old. Scrabble cchool will be used for a new dog pound. In a letter dated March 24, Mr. Hannon noted that completion of an animal shelter hadi been promised by the fall of 1985. Pointing out that considerable funds (more than $4,000, according to the supervisors), already have been invested at Scrabble, he strongly recommended the county build its facility there despite opposition from neighboring landowners — on county property “suitable in every respect.” Mr. Hannon acknowledged that an unidentified person has volunteered to sell land for an alternative location, but he noted that similar opposition from adjoining property holders can be expected there as well. According to Mr. Hannon’s letter, the local Humane Society held an educational meeting in February with pound neighbors and operators from Madison and Culpeper counties on hand to tell of their experiences and answer questions. Supervisors Hubert Gilkey and Nelson Lane attended, but not a single person who had objected to the shelter at the public hearing on the Scrabble site showed up, Mr. Hannon noted. In asking that the board “make up its collective mind and move on,” Mr. Hannon informed the supervisors of legislation (passed in the last General Assembly session and now awaiting the governor’s signature) that requires all animal control officers to be trained, effective July 1. He said that mandate, which the state will fund, was endorsed by Virginia Tech and the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies. It is that federation which successfully prodded other Virginia counties with threatened legal action into complying with the state’s re(Continued on Page 18) — Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Greg Turner Jockey Michael Power checks the Ben Venue course Purses attract strong entries to Ben Venue By CLIVE CARNIE Democrat Staff Writer There’s money in them thar hills this weekend, and a bunch of horsemen aim to get some of it at the Old Dominion Hunt’s point-to-point races at Ben Venue on Saturday. In an effort to entice horsemen into the hills of the Blue Ridge, Old Dominion officials have offered purses for three of their races for the last two years. Once again the hunt will offer purses this year of $1,000 for three of its eight races. • The prospect of actually being able to get some money for point-topoint racing has lured a good number of horsemen for Saturday’s races. Both the novice timber and the maiden hurdle races — each with a $1,000 pruse — have strong entries. The novice timber has 19 entries, the maiden hurdle 22. The open hurdle, which also has a purse of $1,000, was not so popular; it has only drawn nine entries, but, there are several winners in the field and it should be an exciting race. “I’m delighted with the entries,” said Old Dominion's joint master, Mildred Riddell. “I think we’re going to have a splendid day.” Feature race of the day at Ben Venue will be the Old Dominion Hunt Cup owner-rider timber race. This 314-mile race has drawn a field ofnine including Dr. William Russell’s Marat, the current leader of the Seven Corners Owner Rider Timber Series. Marat, who won at Casanova, Warrenton and Piedmont, will likely have some close competition from Greg Bodoh’s Chatex, however. Last week at Middleburg Chatex was denied victory in the owner-rider timber race when he cut a flag. Mr. Bodoh is probably anxious to clear his and his horse's record with a win at Old Dominion.

^cws of Record Shenandoah National Park celebrates 50th anniversary—1936-1986 Shenandoah National Park celebrates the 50th anniversary of its dedication in 1986. In his remarks at Big Meadows on July 3, 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated Shenandoah National Park “to this and to succeeding generations of Americans for the recreation and the re-creation which we find here.” A major provision of the legislation which authorized the Park in 1926 was that the land could only be acquired through donation. The citizens of Virginia, and the Shenandoah Valley in particular, campaigned to raise the money to purchase the necessary land. This effort was not without controversy or suffering, but through these heroic sacrifices and an appropriation by the Commonwealth of Virginia, Shenandoah National Park became a real’ y. The culmination of 10 years wo.R was the official establishment of the Park on December 26, 1935, when the land deeds were accepted by the Federal government. In the past 50 years, this “gift” of the people of Virginia has become one of the most beautiful and popular national parks in the country. The forests and wildlife that had been depleted by a century of intensive use have been regenerated, making Shenandoah a truly recycled park. Today, Shenandoah National Park includes about 195,000 acres of According to the Hagerstown Almanack Temperatures are predicted to be average with precipitation above average. Expect moisture of some form on the 4th and 5th and again 912, and cool; 17-20 will be milder but with rain followed by 24-26, more rain and windy. We head into May with more showers the 29th and 30th. Full Moon comes on the 24th at 7:46 a.m. and is called by some the Spring Moon. Comet Halley is still with us. The first two weeks of the month should again bring better viewing than in March with a magnitude of 3.0-3.5, but our celestial visitor will fade rapidly as we approach May. Arbor Day; The idea wras first suggested by Nebraska newspaper editor J. Sterling Morton, and was celebrated April 10, 1872. Today, Arbor Day is usually observed by most states the last Friday in April, this year the 25th. Communities across the land have different w'ays of observing the day, many planting trees and creating parks and other areas to be enjoyed by one and all. Daylight Savings: Remember the old adage, Spring Forward, and set those clocks ahead early on the 27th mountains, forests, streams, and waterfalls. Each year, millions of visitors enjoy Shenandoah’s hundreds of miles of hiking trails, its scenic vistas, and its wildlife. The Skyline Drive, completed in 1939, provides access to the area’s varied resources. According to Gerald Tays, Acting Superintendent, special activities are planned in the Park and the surrounding communities in 1986 to commemorate the creation and dedication of Shenandoah National Park. This will be a time to reflect on the early sacrifices by Virginians and others, whose contributions have assured that Shenandoah National Park will truly be a place where future generations can find recreation and re-creation.

Grain, wheat programs more attractive Recent changes in the 1986 Feed Grain and Wheat Programs should make them more attractive to local producers, according to Linda P. Henry, county executive director of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). Feed grain and wheat programs encourage producers to voluntarily reduce acreages planted to wheat, com, grain, sorghum, barley, and oats in order to bring supply more in line with demand. The reduced acreages (Acreage Conservation Reserve) must be devoted to a conserving use of grasses or legumes. A recent change allows producers to make hay or graze the land designated as acres of conservation reserve. Producers who plant no more than 80 percent of their farm’s base to com, sorghum, barley and oats are eligible for deficiency payments, diversion payments and price support through commodity loans. The acreage reduction for wheat is 25 percent of the farm’s base with a special option for additional diversion equal to 5 to 10 percent of the farm’s base. Wheat producers are also eligible for deficiency payments as well as commodity loans. Deficiency payments are based on the amount needed to bring the price farmers receive nationally up to the established target set for each crop. Target prices are $4.38 for LEATHERCOAT Dessert and Wine On April 25 th at 7:30 p. m. Leathercoat will hold a dessert and wine tasting to celebrate how wine can complement and enhance a dessert.

Governor’s School accepts Watson, Welch uy UKBUKAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock New* Special Writer Rappahannock County High School Juniors Jonathan Watson and s Eduard Welch have been accepted for the Governor’s School for the Gifted, and for four weeks this summer will attend a high intensity study program in a field of their choice. “The Governor’s School for the Gifted is designed to provide, within a community of mutual support, respect, and dedication, intellectually challenging and enriching experiences for a limited number of rising 11th and 12th grade high school students who are academically gifted and/or artistically talented.” Rising juniors and seniors are eligible to attend if they are academically gifted or artistically talented, if their over-all achievement in school work is acceptable, and if they are residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia. More than 900 students throughout the state were nominated for the Governor’s School. However, only 500 students were selected to attend on the basis of their records and the best professional judgement available. Students from public schools were nominated by division superintendents on the basis of criteria pro vided by the Virginia Department of Education. After the nominations were received by the Department, they were reviewed by a committee. Nominees such as Jonathan who were interested primarily in the hirmanities, the natural and physical sciences, and history and the social sciences had to rank within the top 10 percent of their class. They also had to be identified as eligible for the local gifted and talented program. Nominees like Eduard who were interested in the visual arts must be designated by teachers or other professionals in the arts who know of their capabilities. They should not be below the 80th percentile on standardized tests. “Participants will be from various parts of the state; however, they will have one thing in common: their desire to explore academic and/or artistic pursuits at a level not always possible in the high schools.” “A typical schedule involves concentrated study in a particular field during the morning with afternoons devoted to seminars, special interest groups, independent study, recreational activities, and field trips. Evenings are filled with special events such as concerts, lectures by visiting scholars, dramatic productions, movies, or just time to collect thoughts and participate in dis cussions.” Jonathan Watson, son of Diane and Holly Pendleton of Sperryville, qualified to attend Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University from June 15 — July 12. His main interest is in computer science. “This course will focus on computing foundations with emphasis on problem-solving using the computer and properties of programming languages—concepts, properties, and formal descriptions of algorithms, logical analysis, decision trees and flow-charting.” “I’m hoping to go to either the U.S. Naval Academy or the U.S. Air Force Academy and major in computer science,” said Jonathan. “So if I learned enough at the Governor’s School I might be able to validate some courses and take more electives. I’m looking forward to learning more about different computers since we only have one kind here.” “After I was nominated I received a package of forms to fill out. I had to get teacher recommendations and write two essays,” Jonathan explained. “The first essay was how do you think that this will benefit you. The second one was to write to a mentor and tell how you would like to be an apprentice under him.” Jonathan continued, “I wrote about Nicholas Worth. He wrote Pascal. That’s what I’m presently working with in my computer science class.” “My sister Dawn attended the school three years ago. She was in the history and law section. That really encouraged her to go into the law field,” Jonathan said. “Now she’s double majoring in pre-law and French. It seemed she really benefited from going to the Governor’s School so I hope I will, too.” Eduard Welch, son of Jonas and Bill Welch of Flint Hill, will attend Radford University and participate in the visual arts program. All students will participate in daily sessions or seminars related to understanding in an interdisciplinary fashion. Performances and exhibitions by fellow students, faculty and visiting artists, as well as field trips, will be included in the program to enrich individual perceptions about the arts. Eduard commented, “I’m looking forward to the high intensity study of the graphic arts which is not usually offered in the school because the courses are generalized for learning in all areas. In the Governor’s School, you’re taught one specific area in one specific interest that you have.” “I have a chance to meet friends Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock New s EDUARD WELCH, left, and Jonathan Watson will attend Governor’s School for the Gifted this summer. with similar interests and at the same time study intensely in my interest,” Eduard said. “My future plans are to attend college and go for a professional degree. Most likely it will be VCU because it’s one of the few colleges that has a great graphics art field as well as French,” continued Eduard. “I intend to major in communication design and minor in French. ” “I’ve always been shy and the graphic arts gave me a way to create people and create a world as I saw it when I couldn’t express it verbally,” he explained. “As a result of this I was a graphic artist for a year with the C ulpeper E xponent “Neither grades nor credit will be given; however, students will receive a Certificate of Commendation at the close of the School. A report including a course syllabus will be sent to their school upon completion of the program.” Halls appeal subidivion plat decision to supervisors By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Special Writer Attorney David Konick wants the Rappahannock supervisors to vacate a subdivision plat which he alleges was approved illegally nine years ago. The request, to be lodged at next Monday’s board meeting, is the latest skirmish in the on-going battle between the county and Sperryville landowners Ivan and Hazel Hall. On behalf of the Halls, Mr. Konick petitioned the Circuit Court in May 1985 to review and overturn the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals’ decision to grant the Sperryville Assembly of God Church a special use permit and variance for a new house of worship and parsonage on 12.8 acres the church had con. tracted to buy from Oscar Lozano. The site is adjacent to the Halls’ 26 acres with a family dwelling, ex■ tensive truck garden, seasonal roadside stand and farm ponds, where Mr. Hall breeds freshwater game fish. In a request for a review of the BZA’s action, Mr. Konick charged that notice of the church’s application for a special use permit made no mention of a variance request. In addition, he maintained that increased RIVERSIDE AUTO BODY Auto body and paint work professionally done.

Day realtor REAL ESTATE TAX SHELTER The largest investment most people make in their lives is the purchase of a home. If that home is sold, the profit realized could be the largest return on investment experienced in a lifetime. Even if you or your spouse is not yet 55 years old — when you are eligible for the one-time $125,000 tax exclusion on sale of your residence — you can defer all federal income taxes on the sale of your home. When your principal residence is sold, tax on any profit you make on that sale can be deferred, i.e. not paid presently, if you invest, within a two year period, at least as much money as you received from the sale of your old home in a new home. This may be done over and over again. There is no one-time use limitation on this tax savings device as there is with the $125,000 exclusion for persons over 55 years old. Once you or your spouse is 55 years old, and you wish to sell your home, you can still use the $125,000 exclusion, completely avoiding part or all taxes on your previous home investment gains!

We’re here to help. traffic from the church would destroy the comfort and privacy at the Halls’ residence and that the building’s sewage disposal system posed “an imminent pollution threat” to both the Rush River and Mr. Hall’s fish ponds. Describing the BZA’s decision as arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable and plainly wrong, the former Rappahannock zoning administrator argued it violated provisions of the county’s com-prehensive plan and zoning ordinance, specifically a prohibition against resubdivision. Mr. Konick charged that the lot intended to be conveyed to the church is part of a parcel illegally resubdivided in 1977. He maintained that the BZA asked the supervisors and the county attorney to investigate the alleged resubdivision but that no remedial action to vacate or cancel that earlier subdivision was ordered. In response, county attorney Peter Luke and Elliott DeJamette, attorney for Mr. Lozano, countered that the Halls lacked standing to object to the earlier subdivision and that the BZA acted properly in granting the permit and variance, requesting dismissal of the Halls’ suit. Judge W. Shore Robertson in an answer by letter bifurcated the case, first addressing several procedural issues. He ruled that the Halls did have standing to challenge the alleged illegal subdivision which separated a 26-acre parcel into two 12plus acre lots, one of which Mr. Lozano contracted to sell to the church. He also held that the Circuit Court had authority to void the subdivision if it found that the subdivision violated zoning ordinance provisions. But Judge Robertson concluded that the Halls must first exhaust all administrative remedies, specifically by asking the supervisors to vacate the subdivision, before seeking help from the court. That brought a motion for reconsideration from Mr. Konick on March 5. “If an unlawfully approved subdivision plat is a legal nullity that the subdivision agent of the county board has no legal authority to approve in the first place, how can the county board have the discretionary power to refuse to vacate the plat in a subsequent legal proceeding?” Mr. Konick asked. He argued that exhaustion of all administrative remedies is not required where there is “no adminis FORD • MERCURY NO MONEY DOWN OPEN EVERY NIGHT TIL 8 P.M. ★The Culpeper Connection* WEEKEND DEMO SPECIALS 1986 MUSTANG LX yA RED, LOADED.

SATURDAY 8 TO 4 CALL 703-547-3673 trative remedy equal to the relief sought.” Mr. Konick pointed out that the Halls are not challenging the validity of the Rappahannock County Subdivision Ordinance “but are seeking the enforcement of its express provisions.” Since nullifying the 1977 subdivision by Lindgren Land Inc, by adopting an ordinance to vacate “would constitute admission by the governing body that its agent acted improperly” when the subdivision plat was originally approved, “enactment of such an ordinance would expose the county to a claim for money damages,” Mr. Konick maintained. “Thus it is a foregone conclusion that the county board will refuse to adopt an ordinance vacating the subdivision plat,” he insisted, describing such a request by the Halls as a “pointless exercise. ” In his request for reconsideration, Mr. Konick wrote that the judge had “apparently overlooked” a section of Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance that provides for direct judicial review of an approved plat by the circuit court whenever an interested party “contends that such approval was not properly based on the ordinance.” In a second letter dated March 19, Judge Robertson again took exception to Mr. Konick’s position. He maintained that the attorney’s argument (1) assumed that the subdivision is a legal nullity before that question has been resolved and (2) speculated inappropriately on what the Board of Supervisors would do. As to the right of appeal in Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance, Judge Robertson noted that this “right” exceeded authority allowed under state law. On Monday, Mr. Konick asked to be put on the agenda for the next supervisors meeting to present an application for the vacation of the subdivision plat and request that the matter be referred to the planning commission. Community World Hunger project organized As one response to domestic and international hunger some concerned individuals in Rappahannock who wanted to do more to connect with the plight of the world’s hungry formed a community garden project two years ago. The produce from the garden is sold locally with all the proceeds forwarded to a relief organization. The world produce is distributed at the County Nutrition Site for the elderly.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. ___) THURSDAY, APRIL 3,1986 Editorials Tommorow’s here “Don’t put off until tommorrow what you can do today,” the old adage goes. The wisdom of those words can be applied to the Rappahannock supervisors and some long-festering problems that might become serious wounds. Ten years ago, former board Chairman E.P. Luke pressed his peers to appropriate money for a landfill site. Mr. Luke received little support, and today the county faces a crisis because the private dump it uses will soon expire. No solution seems to be forthcoming. Similary, efforts to provide an animal shelter in the county have received little more than lip service. And that problem is back to haunt the county. The list goes on: Rappahannock was the last county in Virginia to abandon the expensive policy of paying law enforcement officials mileage reimbursements to drive their own cars; it for years ignored the state requirement to have a building inspector; it sent prisoners to the Fauquier Jail instead of improving its own facility, until finally Fauquier said “no more”; it took years to install a fie escape from the second floor of the courthouse and to make other changes to comply with regulations after being cited for violatios by the state fire marshal. The zoning ordinance has been going through badly needed revision for six or seven years. It’s been on a shelf gathering dust for a year or so now. Rappahannock may be the last county in Virginia without a county administrator, although there are - whisperingS’that the supervisors may include funds for the position in the 1986-87 budget. That should help the board organize itself to seriously confront some of the dire needs. In fairness to this board and its predecessors, keeping the tax rate low usually has been the priority. In a vacuum, that’s a noble cause. But, the constant pattern of delaying reassessment and avoiding small tax increases will hurt the taxpayer in the long run when he is asked to pay suddenly larger sums in a frantic effort to catch up with state mandates and common-sense needs. It’s time to break the pattern. But will it happen? In the resolution they passed unanimously a couple weeks ago, directing the School Board to cut its proposed budget, the supervisors blamed Gramm-Rudmann and declining federal and state funds for the fiscal crunch. But, the supervisors’ own short-sightedness deserves much of the blame. We can’t continue to ignore needs which won’t go away tomorrow. In many cases, tommorrow is here. Burn with care Many of us are out attacking gardens, hedgerows and fields these days. It’s time to work with nature to make things look a bit better. That means people will pile up lots of brush and debris they want to burn. Fortunately, our lawmakers understand that. They also understand the dangers of open fires during a windy and dry season. Remember all those brush fires last spring? Well, it’s happening again. To control the danger, the state burning law took effect last month. It stipulates that: • Open fires burn only between 4 p.m. and midnight. • Fires must be attended at all times. • Proper tools must be hand to contain fires. • Fires must be kept away from forests. Local authorities fined quite a few people last spring for illegal burning. Our volunteer firemen spend in inordinate amount of time and money fighting out-of-control blazes born of stupidity. Let’s obey the law and burn our brush safely this spring. Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News invites and encourages its readers to send letters to the editor.

Rappahannock heritage MOONRISE IN TIGER VALLEY Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Letters to the editor Supervisor Lane: 4I am pro-hunting’ To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to clarify and correct last week’s article on the Game Commission’s hearing in Richmond. The main reason I attended this meeting is because as time passes 1 see many people turning against hunting because of the irresponsible and illegal actions of a very few. I eiyoy hunting very much and hate to see public sentiment turned against hunting. I feel your article last week made me out to be anti-hunting, which is absolutely wrong. I am pro-hunting. The last Game Commission meeting I attended I supported Rappahannock orchardists and requested an additional deer be added to our bag limit to help control populations. At this meeting 1 made the following points. 1. That certain areas in the county experience terrorism from a very few hunters who disrespect the law and rights of other people. To illustrate briefly this point I mentioned the cases where people have been punched out. there had been property damage, and in fact there is a 60-year-old widow in Rappahannock County who had shots fired into her home. This same widow was forced off the road in her small car by a caravan of road hunters. This is not only a Game Commission problem, but in my mind clearly is the responsibility of our own Sheriffs Department. 2. That I feel that- some of the problems we have “experienced are> in response, to'some aeg^ee, to'the 1 regulations and other situations that exist today. Where I do not want to see Rappahannock’s season shortened, I do feel it is a policy mistake to have such a great difference in length of seasons in neighboring counties. My statement was, that if our season being almost four times as long as those counties west of the Blue Ridge was an attempt to properly manage population on either side of the mountain, it had some very undesirable side effects, and that maybe the season’s length should be more similar in these neighboring counties and a better population management policy should be effected. This out of county road hunting congests our roads, abuses the rights of our residents to peaceful enjoyment of their property, is accompanied by accumulation of litter and trash, and contributes to the deterioration of our roads. 3. That having seen Game Commison schedules that illustrate that there were times during our season that only one warden in a fivecounty area was on duty and that I feel the Game Commission should enact policy prohibiting vacation time during the hunting season. f£/v- . i. . ■ ' U ■ 4. That my- cow, horse, or even my child is not allowed to trespass on the land of others, and that I could not understand the policy regarding dogs and legalized trespass. In several cases I have seen, hunting deer with dogs has about as much sport to it as setting the mountain on fire and shooting anything that fled. 5. I noted that the Game Commissioner had helped other law enforcement agencies to assist in large cocaine busts, which I support, and which are not in any way related to game laws. I feel that during our hunting season these other agencies should help our warden. After all, vehicles with liquor, pharmaceuticals and firearms on the same public roads our school buses travel, and residents getting punched out, or shot at, or experiencing property damage are clearly police matters, and a reflection upon our Sheriffs Department. I feel one hand should wash the other and that all of our law enforcement agencies should help the others to provide the best Lane’s view supported To the editor: I support Superviser Lane’s views on slob hunters. I have been awakened on > several mornings by the sounds of hunting dogs' chasing deer and anything else that moves through our yard. During hunting season I am afraid to hike on my land because of hunters, and after the season ends the woods and roads are covered with litter and beer cans. I consider myself a sportsman and I enjoy hunting and fishing. In my opinion sitting in a truck waiting for dogs to drive deer onto the road has nothing to do hunting. CHRISTOPHER MOYLES Castleton possible quality of life for our residents. NELSON LANE Woodville Courthouse consideration To the editor: We would like very much to express our appreciation to the Messrs. Pete Estes, Hubert Gilkev, and Nelson Lane, members of the Board of Supervisors, for their consideration and patience in hearing a group of concerned citizens who wished to discuss the renovation of the Rappahannock County Courtroom. These gentlemen vyere most enthusiastic and encouraged our participation in the project. STEWART & EVELYN WILLIS Mount Prospect, Washington Food co-op cooperation To the editor: As sponsor of the junior class of Rappahannock County High School I thank the Rappahannock Food Cooperative for their cooperation and assistance in our Hershey candy bar sale. We were able to raise the necessary money to finance the band for this year’s prom. RONALD VICKERS The single tusk of the narwhal, usually limited to males, reaches lengths up to 10 feet and is probably both a weapon and a symbol of dominance, says National Ueoymphic. Teaching’s different in the U.K. To the editor: With the pace of life never slowing, I have been negligent in keeping my Rappahannock readers informed of my teaching year in the United Kingdom. The holiday season came and passed with barely a minute to spare. Then it was January and back to work with a new department head and many curriculum changes. New courses are being introduced into the British school system and it has required some late night preparations on my part. These changes were held in limbo for 13 months as the teachers of England struggled for a pay increase. Now, British headlines read “teachers have settled the 13 month dispute.” But still many teachers, including myself, wonder exactly what has been settled. After 13 months of struggling for last year’s pay increase the teachers have accepted a 6.9 percent increase to salary. But this settlement is difficult to explain. British teachers are paid on a national scale unlike our local scales, and nearly all British teachers belong to one of the six national teacher unions. Even though five of the six unions have accepted the proposed increase, the largest union, the National Union of Teachers, NUT, has voted against the settlement and vowed to continue their working to the contract. To make things even more confusing, British teachers do not have a contract, not like our contract at home. The term teachers give all duties — sports, parent nights, clubs and lunch time duties — is goodwill. For 13 months teachers have not been doing these duties. But since five of the six unions have voted to accept the increase, things in the schools should be back to normal, right? Well, not exactly. Some of the local unions do not support what their national unions have voted on so schools are in the same position now as they were when I started in August. A majority of the teachers in my school will not resume their “goodwill” duties until a higher pay increase is granted. You may ask the question, what do I think of British schools, and it would be difficult to say. I do not think I have seen the schools run at 100 percent the entire year. There is so much that usually goes on, so I am told. Yet, I have not seen a school soccer game; I have not marked a report card nor have I attended any after school activities. But this does not say I am ready to come home. Life after school has been enjoyable. I find the staff very active in sports. As a staff, we play other nearby school faculties in hockey, basketball, soccer and volleyball. - It is great fun and a good way to socialize with other staff as people and not always teachers. We regularly play these sports and even though some of them are not “my cup of tea” I always give them my best shot. As they put it, “the Yank is always good for a laugh,” which is really true when it comes to me and a basketball. Oh, incidentally, the word “Yank” is what all visitors from the United States are called. Being a native of New York, it was nothing new to be called “Yankee.” Even when I moved to Virginia and had a mother-in-law calling me a “damned Yankee for staying” it did not bother me. ' But when Lisa was called a “Yank” she nearly hit the roof. Until next time. SCOTT CURRIE 21 Sheriff Drive Brierley Hill West Midlands, England, DY514Q.

SHARE THE COST OF LIVING Give to the American Cancer Society Goldsmith opens W ashing ton shop By GREG TURNER Rappahannock News Staff Writer “There’s gold in them thar hills. ” Not actually but there is a new goldsmith designer in Washington who works with gold as well as silver. Christopher Goodine, formerly of New Hampshire, has relocated to Hume, and has recently opened his workshop on Main Street in Washington. He said he “moved from the northern Appalachians to the southern Appalachians and that fortunately spring comes earlier here.” An avid hiker, Christopher and his wife, Dr. Jean Goodine, who is an English teacher at Northern Virginia Community College, have found a hiker’s paradise here in the county. Christopher decided that Washington was a good place for a goldsmith designer because it would complement and work well with the other arts and crafts businesses here. Christopher has worked at his trade for 16 years. He is a member of the New Hampshire League of Crafts, established in the 1930s to help craftsmen who were working out of their homes during the depression. Primarily working with gold and silver, Christopher crafts his jewelry from beginning to end and all of it is of his own original designs. According to Christopher, “the creativity is done in the metal all the way through, there is no casting involved.” One unique aspect ol' handmade items is that no two pieces are exactly alike. This gives each piece the distinction of being a one of a kind creation. Christopher’s workshop is in the same room as his showroom which gives customers an opportunity to watch him work. Each wavelength of a necklace is individually crafted and requires approximately 75 hammer blows, a process he calls “aggressively tedious.” One of his best sellers is an earring he calls “orbit.” Definitely an innovative design, it's a matrix of circular rings within a ring and when worn it opens up into a three dimensional object. Christopher, a graduate of Concord High in Massachusetts, which happens to be the same school where Christa McAuliffe taught, had sent her a pair as a gift and that’s how he came up with the name orbit. Unfortunately she probably never got to see them, due to the tragic explosion of the Challenger. The shop will be open when Christopher is working there and will be open officially every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11-7.

Extension 4-H programs—something for all By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent More than 115,000 Virginia youth are participating in Extension 4-H educational programs ranging from food preparations and livestock production to energy and consumer education. The 55 subjects developed as 4-H projects include public speaking, photography, performing arts and computers, as well as dairy, poultry, clothing, forestry, wood science and many others. All subjects are based upon university research to assure accurate information. Learning to organize group activities, serving as 4-H club officers and engaging in community service work are examples of group learning opportunities involving youth in organized 4-H clubs. Other 4-H members participate through school enrichment programs, special interest projects and instructional television. Once identified as a farm youth organization, 4-H has more than 43 percents of its members living in towns and cities. The remaining 57 percent live in small towns and rural areas of the state. Programs designed by 4-H are adapted to the needs of youth wherever they may live. 4-H provides professional leadership for programs planned and implemented locally by volunteers. These volunteers receive training provided by Extension agents, other volunteers and Extension specialists at Virginia Tech and Virginia State. Camping programs at Virginia’s six district 4-H Educational Centers served more than 12,000 4-H youth last summer. The various camps offered at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center at Front Royal during 1985 were attended by 1,760 campers. An additional 50 boys and girls, ranging from age 6 to 12, attended the 4-H day camp held in Rappahannock County. Camp programs provide away-from-home group living experiences, emphasize outdoor learning activities, skill development, confidence building and constructive recreational activities. Special programs are designed for different audiences. One project helps pre-teen children of working mothers learn how to take care of themselves safely after school. A teen program called “Wilderness Challenge” helps youth develop confidence in themselves and improve their ability to work as members of a team. The “Consumerama” quiz bowl helps youth be wise consumers, getting the best buy for their money for items purchased by young people. The competition of the quiz bowl stimulates study of consumer products and builds excitement and enthusiasm. There is an important international dimension to 4-H. Many Virginia 4-H families participate by hosting international visitors. There are opportunities for 4-H teen youth to live abroad during the summer through the International 4-H Youth Exchange (IFYE) Ambassador Program. Recent 4-H alumni (age 19-25) can qualify for four to six-month international experiences as IFYE representatives. A pilot Cloverbud program for ages 6-8 years is being carried out in some areas of the state. The focus of this program is to give younger children an introduction into the 4-H • program. It further meets the needs of younger children who have older brothers and sisters involved in 4-H. The 4-H emblem consists of a green four-leaf clover with an “H” on each leaf. The “H’s” stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health, representing learning, loyalty, service and better living. Excellence is an established value in 4-H. “To Make the Best Better” has been the motto of 4-H almost since it began nearly eight decades ago. While individual and team competition are typical of 4-H, the 4-H youth also learn the importance of cooperation through many club and group activities. We are constantly looking for young people and adults who would like to become involved with 4-H in any area from the young Cloverbuds through teens. More information may be obtained by contacting the local Extension Office at 675-3619.

Neglect of either diminishes each. Wc often say that “a person is a body possessing a soul.” A truer statement is: “A person is a soul that possesses a body.” My body is the only place my soul can live. The better care I take of my body, the better I provide for my soul because my body belongs to my soul. A soul with a body we call LIFE. A soul without a body we call death. And in many cases, we determine which it shall be. Paul nails it down for us in I Corinthians 6:19: “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you| which you have from God? You are not your own: you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your Body.” Copyright 1986 Keister Williams Newspaper Services. P 0 Box 8005.

Try growing herbs from seeds By MAUREEN MESSICK Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer For the adventurous gardener, growing any plant from seed can be an exciting nature lesson. Growing herbs from seed is even more rewarding because of the fragrance emitted by even the smallest seedling. For your adventure into the world of herb seedlings you should give several things careful thought. Do you have the appropriate materials and space for starting seeds indoors? More importantly, if you decide to start your seeds directly in the earth, do you have the discipline that is necessary to keep the seed area moist and weed free until germination occurs? I recommend starting your seeds in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse or sunny window for several reasons. Doing so allows you to keep a closer eye on the moisture in and temperatures of your starting medium. It also gives you the joy of watching your plant from the day of germination to the height of bloom. The medium you choose for seeding should be sterile, provide good drainage and have few to no plant nutrients. Fill the container — anything from yogurt to milk cartons to commercially available flats — with starting medium almost to the top of your container. The container you choose MUST have holes in the bottom for drainage and each variety of seed should have its own container to allow for different germination lengths. Tamp the starting medium firmly flat. Seeds of a very small size such as Chamomile can be broadcast in designated rows within the container. Larger and easier to place seeds such as Sage or Calendula can be evenly spaced within each row. The rows should be at least one inch apart and about 1/4 inch deep. Seeding in rows will deter damping off — an organism which can be spread by unclean tools or containers and even by the air — should it develop in your seedlings. You can easily separate and destroy those that are infected. Watering with Chamomile tea will further control damping off. To speed germination I suggest using bottom heat that provides a constant temperature of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. To keep the soil moist the container can be covered with plastic or glass. The covering should not be placed directly on top of the flat but in such a way as to create a humid air space above the seedling container. Most seeds do not need light for germination but the moment the seedlings emerge your container should be placed for several days in a filtered light setting and then in the direct sunlight. Watering the container from the bottom is preferred because the entire soil absorbs water. When the seedlings are still small bottom watering will not disturb them. Overhead watering, unless it’s a very fine HERB Rosemary. Lavender. Sage. Parsley(soak seed overnight) Oregano . Thyme. Borage. Lemon Balm. Calendula. Wormwood. Hyssop. Chives. Sweet Maijoram.

When the seedlings have several sets of leaves and are stronger, overhead watering is acceptable and will aid in carrying oxygen to the soil. At this stage they can be transplanted to individual pots to grow on until planting begins. As with other plants your young herbs should be hardened off before direct planting. The following table gives average germination lengths that we have experienced over the years. We always use bottom heat and have germinated under greenhouse conditions as well as indoor lights. Don’t forget to put the table in. The above article, by Maureen Messick of la dama mnya herb farm in Luray, was taken from a quarterly printed by the Virginia Association of Biological Farmers. This spring’s issue features excellent articles from the VABF's recent meeting on Natural Pasture Management where Chris Bird of Washington was one of the featured speakers. Booklet lists new plants Gardening has become the number one dutdoor leisure activity of Americans. Each winter gardening enthusiasts eagerly await the arrival of the rush of seed catalogues and plant lists. These catalogues and plant lists always contain a new plant, or two or three, that one can’t live without. The staff of the American Horticultural Society has compiled a list of new plants for 1986. Northern gardeners will delight in two new rhododendron cultivars, one of which is hardy to -15° F. The other can survive a bone-chilling -45°. Individuals with water gardens will be delighted by two beautiful tropical water lilies that are new to the market this year. Gardeners with shady areas will want to try a new mixture of outstanding impatiens cultivars that have stood the test of time. Tree-lovers with a minimum of space may want to try Whitehouse, a small-size tree that is closely related to the popular Bradford pear. And, for those who enjoy tasting the fruits of their labor, there is a succulent new strawberry, an outstanding new raspberry, a super-sweet com, and a variety of vegetables.

More and more people these days are failing to take advantage of what used to be the norm for rural life, having a garden. Years ago if you didn’t have a garden people would think there.was something wrong with you. You might fear being run out of town. A garden was also something to talk about. “How are the tomatoes doing?” was an excellent way to start a conversation and this would lead you on tu other topics of coriVerJ sation of ‘ course'' IttcKHMfe ‘ ' the' weather. Working in the garden was a joint effort by the family of the children coming home and isolating themselves in front of a television the whole family would work together doing something constructive. A garden provides an opportunity to be outside, taking advantage of the fresh air and engaging in an exercise that also provides healthy fruits and vegetables. Every day we are reminded about the harmful effects of pesticides and insecticides, fungicides and host of other “cides”. Commercial growers demand perfect looking fruits and vegetables. They are of course interested in making money and consumers are more inclined to buy superior looking produce. It’s just a shame that the environment and our health suffer from the sometime over-use of these “cides”. One of the big advantages to having your own garden is that you have complete control over what you put in it. An organically grown garden is definitely the current trend. If you want to find out how to put in a garden you go to an expert. Loring Anderson is one such expert. Born in West Virginia, Loring moved to Rappahannock more than 50 years ago and has had a garden ever since. As long as I remember Loring always has had a beautiful garden so I figured he would be a good man to talk to. At 74 Loring still makes his living primarily from cutting firewood. His weathered face and calloused hands show his years of hard work. One of the big questions this time of year is when to plant. According to Loring, “When you wait for warm TILLERS AND ATTACHMENTS Early Pickings Sale Buy one attachment get the second attachment for $100 off if bought at the same time as the first.

A & P EQUIPMENT CO., INC. GUARD HILL ROAD, FRONT ROYAL, VA. 703-636-9726 weather to put stuff in the garden it will do much better. I used to put out some real early but the frost would get it, seeds are expensive the first time.” Another thing to consider is what to plant. Logically, vegetables you consume the most are what you want to plant the most of. Another thing to consider is the size of the garden: the bigger the garden the more work it will require and a small controlled garden is more productive than a weed infested big garden. As I was talking to Loring Anderson he had to interrupt and show me his potatoes. They were beautiful. He gave me a few to take ho ne ami they tasted as good aa they ' looked. As they were last year’s crop I asked how they stayed so firm and fresh. Loring has an unique way of storing his potatoes. He simply takes a 55-gallon drum, buries it in the ground vertically, puts his potatoes in it and covers it with a board. Since the ground stays above freezing in the winter and is cool in the summer it provides a perfect storage place for his potatoes. This method also works well for onions and turnips. When do you plant potatoes? As explained by Loring, “Potatoes are the first to be planted usually after the last hard frost. When I plant my potatoes I also plant my peas and beans, I put out a few tomatoes and some onion sets.” A garden is a lot of work but it is also something that pays in the saving on food costs and it is something to take pride in. In a way you are a artist, being able to create something using the soil and sun as your medium. Greenhouse popularity up When it comes to expanding their homes through room additions, many people are choosing greenhouses, according to a greenhouse manufacturer and installer. “Most of our customers are interested in changing their existing home, office or restaurant rather than building a new one,” says Christoper Esposito, president of the Four Seasons Greenhouse franchise network, based in Farmingdale, N.Y. “The greenhouse structure is most popular because we are selling the feel of outdoor living and bringing it indoors.” A typical 10-feet-by- 16-feet greenhouse addition costs $10,000 to $15,000, fully installed. think about your heart.

They know how to cultivate a lot with little space By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Special Writer Matters of intensity, antagonism and companionship seem to belong to the difficult world of human relationships but they are familiar gardening terms to Richard and Joyce Abell, who grow many kinds of vegetables and fruits at their homestead on the Shade Road near Rock Mills. Intensity refers not to a passionate approach to gardening but to the cultivation of as many plants as possible in a small area. Antagonism and companionship are terms describing the likes and dislikes of pkints for being near each other and other plants and animals. Richard Abell has been gardening intensively for many years. The son of a New Hampshire agricultural economist and part-time Extension agent, he grew up on a tiny homestead in New England crammed with as many strawberries, raspberries, plum, apple and cherry trees, and as many chickens, pigs and vegetables as his father could fit in three acres. “My father always wanted to have a farm,” Richard remembers. “But he could never afford to buy one. He made up for it by spending as much time in the garden as he could.” As a young man, Richard also dreamed of being a farmer. He majored in horticulture, specializing in fruits and vegetables. But fate interfered with his plans in a very dramatic way when he was stricken with polio in his early twenties. “Confined to a wheelchair, it would have been impossible to farm in those days,” he said. “Hand controls were simply not available on tractors and other farm machinery. And the dwarf fruit stock used in orchards now was just being developed then.” Instead, Richard turned to teaching, a profession that occupied him for the next 30 years. He moved to the Washington, D. C., area to escape the harsh New England winters. Wherever he lived, whether in Maryland suburbs or in the midst of the city, he turned small back yards into productive garden spots, learning along thS way how to harvest the most from a tiny space. “In one place we lived, the garden was fill dirt from construction excavation,” said Joyce. “In just three years the soil was rich and black.” How did they do it? “We added lots and lots of organic matter,” said Richard. Joyce remembers driving round and round the city, picking up garbage bags of lawn clippings, which the couple composted and then dumped on the garden patch. “When we left D. C., our yard was a showplace,” said Joyce. “We had flowers and trees and shrubs as well as the garden. I’m convinced that’s what helped us sell it.” Richard used gardening as a way to relax after a day teaching school. Joyce, however, was sceptical. ‘To say I wasn’t familiar with gardening is an understatement,” she said. “I was a klutz. In fact, I did more damage than good. I always tended to step on vegetable seedlings.” As retirement time approached, the Abells looked for a home in the country. "We knew we Wanted mountains,” said Joyce. “And we wanted to be within two hours of the city. At first we looked in Maryland, but those mountains just weren’t right. So we came out here as far as Madison and started looking within that radius.” Somehow they found Washington, the Gay Street Theater and the old Nature’s Foods and Cafe. “The town kind of sold us,” said Joyce. “Those two things — the theater and the restaurant, and the whole town had an interesting atmosphere.” The Abells bought 20 acres a few miles west of the county seat. They built their house amid gently rolling meadows that they have since planted in rye. “Now we can grow our own mulch and organic material,” said Richard, remembering the days of the grass clippings. The rye also enriches the soil when it is not cut for hay, but disked and turned under for green manure. Rural life and the expansion of their farming operation made it nec — Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Greg Ttimer RICHARD, JOYCE ABELL at work in their garden essary for Joyce to overcome her difficulties in the garden. “I wasn’t sure that she would like it, ever,” said Richard. “My mother would help with canning, picking and flower beds, but she never really liked gardening.” “One day I was shoveling manure out in the sun,” said Joyce. “Richard looked over at me and saw a big grin on my face. “ ‘Are you having a good time?’ he asked, kind of sarcastically, I guess. “ ‘I’m having a great time,’ I said. I really meant it, too. I had gotten to love it.” “I figured that, if she liked shoveling manure, she was really a gardener,” Richard added. The Abells still conserve space on their larger Rappahannock homestead, alternating strips of garden with strips of rye and leaving room for some planned pick-your-Own patches of asparagus, raspberries and blueberries. They have planted hundreds of raspberry canes, using Heritage, the everbearing red raspberry. “These bear on new canes every summer,” Richard said. “So instead of constantly pruning canes, we only need to mow the old cane when it’s finished bearing.” They put the canes in seaweed water after they’re shipped. Then they carry a fewT plants at a time to be planted and doused again with a drink of seaweed and water. “This wray, the canes never dry out,” said Richard. The raspberries do well in this climate and soil, and they get a summer layer of mulch and a feeding of compost. Last year, the Abells froze 100 pints from one row of Heritage. Blueberries are fussier, and many people say they can’t grow in the south.

They fertilize with cottonseed meal and keep the little bushes moist throughout the winter. Down below the house on a sunny slope, asparagus spears are beginning to peek through the warm dirt. There are 150 of these, a special plant developed by Rutgers University and grown from seed for the Abells by a Frederick County Extension agent. This summer Richard and Joyce will plant 500 more asparagus, completing the third crop of their planned pick-your-own business that will eventually occupy their spring and late summer months. In between, the summer vegetables will keep them busy. Joyce, the former seedling destroyer, has been researching plant combinations suited for encouraging each other, or discouraging pests and animals. These are “companion” and “antagonist” plants. The Abells tried two companions last year — corn and cucumbers — and found that the cucumbers kept the raccoons from the com. “They don’t like to come through those prickly vines,” said Richard. This year the Abells will try other companions (see box). The Abells recommend that new gardeners take the time to study and learn before planting their first seed. And their beautiful little farm, with its neat strips of meadow, vegetable garden and berry patch, the driveway lined with small filbert trees on one side and grape vines on the other, has something to teach even the most experienced gardener, if he, like Richard Abell after 50 years of gardening, is still learning and watching. Drip irrigation cuts water waste A plant watering system developed in Israel to cope with irrigation problems in barren stretches of desert is helping homeowners take care of their plants in the United States. Called slow flow, or drip irrigation, the system can reduce the amount of water used by as much as 50 percent. New do-it-yourself kits from several manufacturers make it possible for homeowners to adapt this technology. True Temper SloFlo kits, for example, come in three different configurations for specific applications — landscaping, patios and vegetable gardens. The kits snap together and hook up to an outside water tap. Timers can be added. Tools needed for assembly are a tape measure for determining lengths of tubing, and a pair of scissors or a knife for cutting tubing. No adhesives are required. First, a drawing should be made showing lawns, gardens and plantings with rough distances and including an outline of your house with available faucets. Next, determine how best to serve each specific area. Landscaping that contains needled plantings and flowers, for example, should be provided a very fine, steady spray of water. For gardens and planters, water should be dripped slowly at the base of plantings, allowing the ground to absorb every drop. To meet these needs, some kits contain perforated tubing and small “dripper” nozzles for planters. Herbs can be grown throughout the year Fresh chive and fresh parsley add a subtle flavor to soups and salads and the home vegetable gardener can continue to grow these to be available fresh through the fall and winter. “If the gardener has a sunny window location, chive and parsley, as well as some small-fruited tomatoes and peppers, can be grown through the winter,” said Virginia Tech specialist Diane Relf. The gardener needs pots or buckets six inches in diameter and larger and a fertile soil mixture with a high humus content. Each pot needs to have good drainage. It is recommended to place crushed stone and broken crockery or gravel in the bottom of each pot. Chive grows like small onions with leaves about six inches tall. These plants prefer cool conditions . with good light. Plant seeds or small |\>ulbs in a six-inch pot. The plants should be about one inch apart over the entire surface area. before the leaves are ready to cut and use. Parsley seeds can be planted directly into six-inch pots. One vigorous plant per pot is enough. It also requires about 12 weeks from the time the seeds are planted before the leaves can be clipped for garnish. The small-fruited varieties of tomatoes such as Tiny Tim, Small Fry and the paste tomato, Roma, may be raised quite satisfactorily in the home. The Tiny Tim grows to a height of about 12-15 inches. The Small Fry and the Roma will need more space and should be located on a porch or in an area where they will have room to grow. Some of the small-fruited peppers may be grown. “Like tomatoes, they prefer warm conditions in order to grow well,” said Ms. Relf. “Frujts will be ready to harvest from peppers and tomatoes in about 10 weeks.” It will require about 12 weeks • PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN.

I American Rad Ctom Installation should be started at the faucet, where a filter screen and flow regulator is inserted into a hose connector. If required by local law, an anti-siphon device may have to be added. The supply hose either can be permanently buried or laid across the ground. The landscape kit comes with 80 feet of half-inch poly tubing and with two elbows and “T” connectors to provide additional flexibility in designing a watering system. Each kit also contains 12 half-circle sprayers that will each coyer a sixfoot radius and 12 full-circle sprayers that each cover a 12-foot radius. There are 20 “risers” in each kit, used to support each spray nozzle whether the water line has been buried or not. Each riser is pushed into the poly tubing at the point where a spray is desired, and threaded into a snug fit. They don’t leak. A spray nozzle is then screwed into the top of the riser. For vegetable gardens, straight “T” and elbow conectors are provided to lay out the watering system without kinking the 1/2-inch poly water supply tubing. The “T” fittings are installed at the end of each row of plantings and an irrigation tape, which only allows water to seep out, is stretched the length of each row.

ELMER JENKINS of Jenkins Garage in Amissville buys a board from Nathan Flinchum for the playground kickoff campaign. RCES Playground drive begins By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock New« Special Writer “Buy,. a board. PLEASE!” Last week the Rappahannock County Elementary School Student Parent Teacher Association (SPTA) kicked off their “buy a board” campaign to raise money for updating existing playground equipment, the construction of a new playground structure and a fitness course. The playground plans were approved by the School Board and will be paid for and built by the SPTA. Every interested student in kindergarten through seventh grade was given a package containing diagrams of the lower grade playground area and the upper grade fitness course, an informational sheet, and a blank form to list donors’ names (which it’s hoped will be filled in the next few weeks). Each homeroom teacher selected a representative to collect the money and lists for the next three Wednesdays (April 2, 9, 16). Money and lists will be taken to the office where an SPTA member will count the money and record donors’ names. The students were encouraged to ask relatives, friends, and businesses for donations of $5 to $50, or more. The high salesperson will be announced at the elementary school during a movie sponsored by the SPTA on April 18. High salesman will receive $60. Cash awards for second and third highest salespersons will also be given. ■ The class which sells the most by April 16 will receive free movie passes for all class members. But the greatest award will come next fall when the students return to school to find the best little playground in Rappahannock County.

Magazine gets ‘Superior’ rating By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Wakefield School’s literary magazine Talisman has been awarded a “Superior” rating by SIPA, the Southern Interscholastic Press Association. Results of the annual competition were announced at the annual SIPA convention held recently in Columbia, S. C. SIPA is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to encourage a high degree of professionalism in scholastic journalism mass communications. SIPA is sponsored by the College of Journalism at the University of South Carolina. Judges in the contest are outstanding teachers, advisers, and professionals who critique each entry, providing constructive criticism of the publications . Talisman has been published by the students of Wakefield School since 1980. The 1985 edition, in addition to the award from SIPA, received a first place rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, a division of Columbia Umversity. \ The editor of the 1985 Talisman was Josephine Rood of Sperryville. Rood was assisted by Lauren Wemmer of Front Royal and Kathleen Fawcett of Warrenton. Students are gearing up for the production of the 1986 edition of Talisman. The editor, Mary Beth Bayne of Warrenton, will be assisted by Sharon McAllister of Winchester and Ann Waesche of Haymarket. Currently, the staff is reviewing prose, poetry, and essay materials that have been submitted. In preparing the 1986 edition, the students are referring to the suggestions offered by the judges, making changes and additions that they hope will improve Talisman.

STUDENTS in the morning Building Trades class install roof framing. i Ron Vickers for the Rappahannock News Sheds for sale at High School By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer No, not the big brick buildings. The small wooden ones in the back. Rappahannock County High School’s Building Trades classes have completed a 12-week project. The result? Two 8x20-foot utility sheds. According to building trades teacher Ron Vickers,the sheds are in different styles, but are made with the same materials. “Both sheds are made with textured plywood siding. They both have shingled roofs "and they have a double door. One style shed has windows.” Mr. Vickers continued, “The sheds are unpainted so that the person can match them to the scheme of their house or other buildings. They’re also built on skids.” “One of the plans for the sheds came from an Ortho book from the Co-op and the other was a bought set of plans,” he added. Mr. Vickers explained the building procedures. “In starting out we built a pier foundation. We dug a hole and put a cement post in the ground to have a level surface to begin with. The walls were built in the shop, then we raised all four walls in one day. That was a pretty exciting day — to see it all come together. ” “I was real careful to make sure that they 'only used hand tools and portftWeifi9weF»elep);ri^ Uwte, wh*t a carpentei* 'would use on site,” he said. “To get the students to be more than just workers who follow instructions, I assigned each student a different part of the construction to be foreman of. That way they were the ones responsible for making sure that part was done right,” continued Mr. Vickers. “That did a lot to mature them by realizing what it’s like on the other side of the fence.” The students made a scale model of the sheds while building the actual I sheds. Mr. Vickers explained, “To get that to work I made scaled rulers / where a board foot equaled an inch.” “First we built a scale model of a wall, then we built the actual wall./ We built a model of the roof system, then we went out and built that. When the sheds were finished all students had a scale model to take home with them so they could have an exact example of what they did. These models were just as important as making the actual sheds because it helped them learn all the names of the building parts before we actually started working with them.” Building trades students expressed their feelings about the .project. Wall foreman John Grigsby said, “The most important things I learned by doing this was how to measure and learning how to do the things that it takes to build the sheds. I got practice using hand tools and skillsaws, too.” “Making the foundation was the hardest,” John continued. “You had to dig the foundation holes and poiir cement and measure the skids accurately.’’ t Front wall foreman Tomihy Pullen commented, “I learned to piut shingles on. At first! didn’t know how to line them up but finally I learned to go up about five inches! to make them go level across. ” “I thought putting the ridge pole together was the hardest thing,’Mie added.

Mr. Vickers stated, “The main reason I wanted them to build a shed was it was something that they could take pride in, to build self-esteem, and have them feel that they’ve accomplished something.” He added, “The sale of these buildings will help pay for materials to do more things that we couldn’t do otherwise. For example, we need more cinderblocks and brick. Also, I hope the students can make an individual project out of wood to take home at the end of the year.” The utility sheds can be used for storing garden and lawn tools. They are good for general storage or lawn tractor storage. (The door is wide enough for lawn tractors.) A ramp that can be put in front of the door comes with the sheds. Transporting the building is left up to the purchaser. Lowboys were used last year. Mr. Vickers has information on the availability of one, if needed. The sheds may be seen behind the Rappahannock County High School between 3:15 p.m. and 5 p.m. through April 15. Sealed bids must be submitted to the RCHS school office by April 15.

The four-day conference, organized by the Political Science Department of Harvard University, will simulate the functioning of the United States Senate and House of Representatives. At the Model Congress high school students from all 50 states will confront important political issues with the aim of gaining a better appreciation of the American legislative process. Each student has been assigned to represent one of the congressmen or senators of the state delegation. In preparation for their role at the congress, the students are required to research the political views of the district and individuals they are to represent. In order to become better acquainted with the views and positions of the legislators whom they are representing, the Wakefield participants travelled last week to the Kindergarten screening . By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer As the seventh graders departed for their class trip the preschoolers arrived. Kindergarten registration was held at Rappahannock County Elementary School on March 18 and 19. Each prospective kindergartner was screened in five areas—hearing, vision, speech, language, and motor skills. Two types of motor skills were tested. Gross motor skills included running, jumping, and skipping. Fine motor skills included block building and pencil/paper tasks. Patti Hottinger, preschool handicapped children’s teacher, explained the purpose of kindergarten screening is “to determine the readiness of each child entering kindergarten. This screening finds areas of weakness and strength. The weak areas are discussed with the parents and suggestions are given as to ways to help strengthen these areas.” This year the minimum school entrance age has been changed to age five by November 30 rather than five by January 1. Mrs. Hottinger expressed her feelings about the change: “I’m very pleased with the age entrance change.

Wakefield School sponsors spring ski trip to Canada By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer In addition to Wakefield School’s annual spring trip to Europe, the school, in conjunction with the Parents’ Association, is sponsoring a spring ski trip to Canada. A group of 80 Wakefield students, faculty members, and parents are scheduled to leave Huntly this Saturday en route to the Grey Rocks resort outside Montreal. The group is scheduled to spend the week enjoying spring skiing. Students will receive daily ski lessons followed by free time in the afternoons to practice their new skills. The Wakefield students will compete in a day of races followed by an awards* ceremony before leaving Canada. Other planned activities include a talent show staged by Wakefield students, a swim party and a disco night, and night-time outings in horse-drawn sleighs. Excursions are also planned to the French-speaking city of Montreal where language students will have a chance to practice their skills. The ski program at Wakefield was begun in 1976 and has always been one of the most popular sports offerings at the school. Students of all ages are able to compete in the program based on their skill and ability level and several Wakefield students have earned medals in national competitions.

Court (Continued from Page 1) tral air-conditioning and a new ceiling, upgrading of electrical wiring and carpentry and millwork, specifically a new raised judge’s bench with bullet-proof inlay, clerk’s desk and witness box with a barrier between it and the judge’s bench. Insulation will be added to the attic and sound-proofing to the jury room. After a meeting last week between citizens and Supervisors Hubert Gilkey, Charles Estes and Nelson Lane, plans were further modified to substitute chandeliers and recessed “can” fixtures for fluorescent lights and drywall for acoustical tiles in the ceiling. “We wanted to see the courtroom restored rather than renovated,” explained Evelyn Willis, adding that the loosely organized citizens’ group hoped to achieve the “illusion of an accurate restoration dating back to the 1830s,” when the courthouse was built. “We realize we can’t restore the whole building to the way it was,” she said. The group intends to raise through private sources the difference — estimated at around $5,000 — between what the plans initially called for and the more historically correct modifications. In addition to the chandeliers and drywall, the citizens also plan to pay for refinishing the courtroom benches and hanging drapes. They hope to channel donations through the Rappahannock Historical Society and to enable contributors to qualify for tax deductions. “We’re researching the legalities,” Mrs. Willis said, adding that committee organizer Werner Krebser and William Young were meeting Monday with Chief Circuit Judge Carlton Penn for final approval of the modifications. “Judge Penn was so delighted about it,” Dr. Krebser reported in a Handicapped man might sue over courthouse access A Woodville man confined to a wheelchair is considering legal action against the Rappahannock supervisors for their failure to provide for handicapped access in the current courthouse renovation project. “It is my understanding that federal law requires that when a public building is renovated it must be made accessible to the handicapped,” wrote Richard Abell in a letter to the board dated March 24. “I have been waiting quietly so far to see how you plan to carry out the letter and intent of that law with respect to the courthouse and the library. “For two years I have been unable to discern any progress at all.” Mr. Abell, who contracted polio in his youth, that he cannot enter the library to “take out a book, to spend a few hours reading or browsing or to do research on subjects of interest to me.” Since he must rely on others to carry him up and down the courthouse stairs, he has rarely attended public meetings, the former teacher added. “A public elevator (at the courthouse) would make it possible for me to be a more independent participant in the public life of this community.” telephone interview Monday night. “He thinks more citizens should do this. When you have a nice old courthouse, it behooves the community to keep it that way,” Dr. Krebser said, adding that the senior circuit court judge had given his “wholehearted approval” to the latest modifications. Dr. Krebser said that the architect had likewise been “quite Mr. Abell also pointed out that other people with disabilities such as heart problems, arthritis and broken legs find access to the courthouse and library difficult or impossible. “As a taxpaying citizen of this county I think I have a right to access to public buildings, and as responsible officials it is time, I feel, for you to stop delaying and avoiding your legal responsibility,” he wrote the supervisors. “I do not wish any special benefit or treatment for myself. I request only the accessibility to public buildings that other citizens have and for which all of us pay with our taxes.” Contacted by telephone on Tuesday, Mr. Abell stressed his “strong feelings” on the issue of the board’s legal obligations. “If the supervisors aren’t going to do this (provide handicapped access) of their own free will, then I think they need to be taken to court to force them to perform their duties and comply with the law,” he said. Mr. Abell added that he hopes the board will allocate funds in the 1986-87 budget to make the library and courthouse accessible to handicapped persons. “But if they don’t, I’m prepared to take them to court,” he concluded. — Daphne Hutchinson elated,” even though it meant incorporating yet another change order for the remodeling plans. With the bid for painting still out, six subcontractors are currently involved in the renovation project. Of the six, electrician Jerry Payne and Countryside Carpets in Amissville are local; other firms are from Warren and Fauquier counties, according to Clerk Diane Bruce. Landfill (Continued from Page 1) risdiction (which extends from the Washington, D. C., metropolitan area to the Northern Neck) have investigated resource recovery plants as an alternative to landfills. “But they always end up against the wall. They end up right back where they were — with a landfill,” he said, adding that rural counties cannot afford to undertake alone an operation as expensive as incineration of solid waste. A cooperative effort is difficult to negotiate, Mr. Forman continued. “Let’s face it. Who wants to take responsibility for somebody else’s trash?” But he acknowledged that localities might find a reason to cooperate in higher costs for solid waste disposal, as old landfills reach capacity and must be closed. Facilities 10-K (Continued from Page 1) way onto the course and decided to join the race. Rescue squads from Flint Hill, Washington and Sperryville all provide equipment and volunteers to staff first aid stations along the course and at the finish. The highway department lends flags and vests for the course marshals, as well as water coolers for the water stations. Many other details ranging from volunteers who work at the water stations and call “split” times to busses and drivers who ferry runners to the start require the attention of the directors. The Cub Scouts collect trash after the race, and many local people help out by donating their time on race day to ensure the event runs smoothly. Several other activities have sprung up around the Fodderstack race. The Washington Baptist Church will hold its Spring Event, where there will be a flea market, a pet show, a tug-of-war between local fire companies and blood pressure checks by the American Heart Assocation. Any organizations or individuals who wish to volunteer to assist with the race or participate in the Fodderstack Day festivities should contact Betsy Murray at 675-3621 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays or Sandra Brown at 987-8758 evenings. Mrs. Brown added the hard work is worthwhile because the runners enjoy the race and “they’re really nice people.” Asked whether she has had any regets during her four years as a member of the race committee, she thought a moment, smiled and said: “Just one ...

For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT opened since 1979 must meet new, expensive regulations that require protective liners, capping of the final product and monitoring facilities. Compliance with those regulations will double, “maybe in some cases, triple,” the operating cost for a landfill in a rural county such as Rappahannock, Mr. Forman said. The county current privatelyowned landfill does not meet those regulations. “Mr. Clark came in about two years before they took effect,” the landfill overseer noted. In three to four weeks, if Rappahannock’s landfill is found to be at capacity, “Mr. Clark would be informed and told he has to submit a closure plan within a 30-dav period.” 'IT' 1oly/b,ble. NUGGETS OF TRUTH By REV. ROBERT DUNPHY PASTOR Family Worship Center, Washington, Virginia Greetings in the Name of Jesus, It was a nice day in April 1975, I ] was driving to Knoxville, Tn. from; Florida in a truck going to buy a load! of merchandise. I was talking to God ] out loud, asking him if he really was i j there, and if he cared about me. The; p more I talked the more I felt his pres-! ence, I asked him to help me with a! f business deal I had cooking with a i P man in Knoxville and he did, the man ! ? did everything I asked him to do. God j V says if we ask him he will give us fa- ] £ vor with men, Acts 2:47 says they; p were praising God, and having favor I with all the people. Proverbs 3:4 "So! shalt thou find favor and good under-1 standing in the sight of God and! man." Please read all of the 3rd! chap, of Proverbs and Psalm chap. | 112; the five minutes it will take can i change your life. As I left Knoxville I • began to praise and thank him, I real-« ized his presence, I confessed I be- 5 lieved in him and told him I was sorry j for all my wasted life and all the sin I! had committed. I had always leaned « to my own understanding and the Bi-« ble says not to do that (Prov. 3:5). ! That very day my life changed, I felt! different, I wanted to hurry and get, home so I could tell my wife and a \ few months later Sally got saved 5 also. S Folks, our lives have been a j greater joy than we ever knew be- \ fore. We have had our ups and ! downs but as we grew in the word of j God life has grown better and better. We must come to Jesus as little children and by faith accept him and trust him to help you in all your ways I Peter 5:7 tells us to cast all your \ care upon him; for he cares for you. Until next week, May God bless you.

As to what action the state may take against the county should the supervisors fail to make provision for solid waste disposal by then, “that’s a little bit beyond me,” Mr. Forman said. “But it’s in the law. The law says they shall provide a facility for disposal of their citizens’ wastes.” RAY T. CANNON CO. INC.

Twelve artists from the membership rolls of the non-profit cooperative will exhibit works ranging from traditional paintings to experimental construction and imaginative approaches to the human form. “What’s happening with this cooperative is as exciting as what was going on in southern France in the 1880s with the new Impressionists — Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Cezanne, Seurat, Modigliani and Cassat,” said Laurie Marshall, painter and co-op officer. “There’s such exciting energy flashing between artists in this area. We’re encouraging each other to produce a lot and to experiment.” The Impressionist movement was, in part, a response to what that new gadget, the camera, could do, according to Laurie. The camera’s, eye captured absolute realism. “This freed the painters to do much more expressive and innovative things,” Laurie said. Now, time has shown that the color photography introduced in the late 1940s is not a permanent medium, she continued.
