This latest change comes on the heels of amendments which limit a landowner to one such division in a calendar year and require that notice of any family division be given to owners of parcels deriving from the same “parent” lot. “A step in the right direction,” according to Supervisor Ellis Bingham. But still a step that doesn’t go far enough, the Jackson District representative maintained at Monday’s public hearing. “I’m looking into the whole issue of family subdivisions very carefully with the intent of rewriting (that provision in the county zoning ordinance),” Col. Bingham said. “I think it can be done so it’s fair to all the people of this county. I think if it’s rewritten properly it will close the gate to what I see as an abuse of the system.” Liberalization is imperative, he said, particularly in light of rapidly rising land costs here. His proposal will “hinge on the word bona fide," Col. Bingham explained, adding that he hopes to “phrase it in such a manner that it will get the attention” of his follow supervisors. “If someone has a real need and the land is there, if they have a child of legal age or a child that’s married, and that child needs a piece of land for a start, that’s bona fide ... If the child is out of its mother’s womb for three days, and we divide the land (for a family subdivision exception), that’s not bona fide." Seemingly willing to overturn the county’s current two-acre minimum lot size for family subdivisions, Col. Bingham maintained: “The only thing we can’t bypass are the health restrictions” which require approved sites for a well and septic field and separation distance between those facilities. “Land is important. But far more important are the people on the land . . . We must find a way to nurture this independent spirit we have so families can keep their children here. Parents should be able to have their children around them because that’s every parent's dream.”' According to Col. Bingham, the allowance of family subdivisions “on an equitable and fair basis will do a lot to preclude outside developers from coming in and buying up large tracts of land.” In theory, there’s nothing wrong with Rappahannock’s policy of trying to hold small lots and higher density development to in and around the villages where services can be most economically divided, Col. Bingham said. But in practice, he added, land in and around the villages is too expensive for most Rappahannock residents to afford. “We have to solve this problem. It is one of the most critical issues facing this county ... I think everyone on this board is becoming attuned to this,” he concluded. Shirley Berry maintained that since the superSee TRANSFERS, p. A-10 Modern-day shar pshooter Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter LEARNING HISTORY BY DOING, Brandon Wenzel of Culpeper tries out a Civil War era musket at the Sperryville Apple Harvest Festival. Lt. Brock Nicely, representing the Palmetto Sharpshooters re-enactment regiment, showed Brandon how the musket is loaded and then let him fire it himself. Despite a persistent drizzle on Sunday, the festival’s organizers pronounced it a huge success. BZA limits sign's size to protect 'scenic charm' “Our concern is to protect the scenic charm of the county . . . Large signs along the road are a distraction,” Chairman Lee Bird noted, as Rappahannock’s Board qf Zoning Appeals issued a special use permit to Charles Wilson for an antique shop while limiting the sign for the business to six square feet. But the board agreed to reconsider the size question, should Mr. Wilson determine that he needs more advertising space. The antique and gift shop will be located in three accessory buildings on a 4.4 acre lot off Rt. 522 between Woodville and Boston. In addition, Mr. Wilson told the BZA at last Wednesday’s public hearing, his residence on the same parcel will also be used for the display of furniture, crafts, and gift items such as dolls. Parking provisions meet the zoning ordinance’s standard and the Virginia Department of Transportation has advised that it has no additional requirements for egress or ingress with a business of “such low impact,” reported Zoning Administrator John McCarthy. The BZA may dictate the sign size, he said, adding that the up per limit is 20 square feet. “I’m thinking about a four-by-three foot, something in the area of 12 square feet,” said Mrv Wilson. “I think 20 feet is liberal, in a sense, but I think it’s close to what could be used,” depending on what information is to be included on the sign, he added. “We’d be setting a bad trend to allow a larger sign for this than for someone who has a home occupation . . . My preference would be to limit it to six feet (the maximum for home occupations in an agricultural zone),” said Peter Kramer. Sid Gottleib voiced concern about the location of a sign; that it be placed off the right-of-way so as not to obstruct the vision of drivers negotiating the sharp curve in Rt. 522 near Mr. Wilson’s property. “Maybe we should separate the sign from the use issue,” suggested Mr. Kramer as his fellow BZA members found no problems in granting a special permit for the antique business itself. “A sight visit might be in order. We could take a couple pieces of plywood (representative of different sign options) and see what the impact would be ... (A sign larger than six feet) might be perfectly acceptable.” By unanimous vote, the board approved the special use permit with a sixsquare foot sign limit and agreed that a quorum may authorize a larger sign, should one be deemed acceptable after a site visit. In other action at Wednesday’s monthly meeting, the BZA: • granted a special use permit to John H. Jenkins for a family apartment on his 3.197 acre lot on the Resettlement Road near Flint Hill. • issued a one-year permit to Jeffrey C. Behr and Patricia A. Lane for a temporary mobile home while they are constructing a permanent residence on their property on Route 231. Veteran member’s final session Wednesday was Mr. Kramer’s last meeting before the expiration of this term as the BZA’s representative from Hampton District, and he has decided not to seek reappointment. “I’ve throughly enjoyed it,” he said of his eight years on the board. “I’ve learned so much about zoning law and zoning problems.” While thanking his fellow board members in general for their cooperation and assistance, he singled out former zoning administrator David Konick for being an excellent teacher. “I’ve seen this Board of Zoning Appeals go from a folksy, backroom group to a sphisticated, smart, thoughtful, and creative problem-solving group,” Mr. Kramer concluded. “I think you’re just saying that because two of us are wearing neckties!" quipped Mr. Bird. “I didn’t always agree with Peter, but when he got through questioning people, there wasn’t anything left for me or anybody else to ask them!” added James Swindler. “Your service has been very constructive," the BZA chairman told the retiring Hampton District representative. ‘The community benefits a great deal when people like yourself serve on this county s boards. And mostly you get slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in response!” Board affirms inspector's termination Following almost two hours in executive session for personnel, contracts and potential litigation, the Rappahannock Supervisors returned to open meeting on Monday and voted unanimously to (1) terminate William A. Harrison as the county building inspector and (2) confirm County Administrator’s John McCarthy’s authority to fire Mr. Harrison on Sept. 30 for causes specified in a letter to the board. Until a new building inspector is hired, Mr. McCarthy will handle the inspection duties. The board also authorized Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke to negotiate with William Frizell, contract buyer for the Hampton Inn and Mildred Cebula, current owner of the restaurant which supplies the meals for prisoners at the Rappahannock jail, to continue the food services arrangement, the only change being provision for 45 days’ notice of contract withdrawal. In other action at the September board meeting, the board: • approved a $70,946 supplemental appropriation to the 1988-89 school budget, the funds a combination of state money, federal money and text book rental fees. No local tax dollars are involved, Superintendent David Gangel em phasized. • set a public hearing for Wednesday, Sept. 2(5, at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium on issuance of $18,IKK) in local bonds. Under the Governor’s Technology Initiative, this “front money” would be repaid by revenue from a like amount of bonds from the Virginia Public School Authority; the $18,900 will buy six computers and a printer for Rappahannock County Elementary School to be used for remedial programs with top priority given sixth-grade math, and for a satellite receiving dish and an electronic classroom at the high school. • named Supervisor Charles Estes to finish Delbert Price’s term on the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority. • set a public hearing for the November board meeting on a proposal for a surcharge on civil warrants finance a Rappahannock law library which would open to the public. • approved “set-off debt collection" whereby debts owed to the county are certified to the Department of Taxation and then matched against Social Security numbers so persons receiving a state tax refund will have the amount owed the county deducted from t^heir refund check. Town's museum given seeds A member of the staff of Mt. Vernon, the home of George Washington, recently visited First Washington’s Museum. According to museum Curator Ruby Jenkins, the visitor gave her seeds from two Tulip Poplars which were planted at Mt. Vernon by President Washington in 1785. The visitor, Miss Jenkins said, requested that the seeds be planted in Washington, Va., the first Washington, Miss Jenkins said she was told that the two surviving trees at Mt. Vernon have grown to a majestic height, but are showing signs of their more than 200 years, as well as the effects of storms. She asked that anyone interested in planting the seeds, either in the Town of Washington or elsewhere in Rappahannock County, call Ruby Jenkins (6753352).

News of Record October's Almanac According to the Hagers-Tmcn Tou~n and Country Almanack, this is the outlook for October. October, the month of “foliage.” when maples turn pale yellow or crimson, and oaks become bronze. A time when Jack Frost’s paint brush colors the landscape in a way no artist’s palette can hope to capture. Weather watch: We can expect below average temperatures but precipitation will be above average. The 10th month opens fair and mild followed by cool temperatures with showers 2-1; look for more rain 8, 9, again 13, 14. Periods 5-7 and 10-12 will be fair and mild. Latter part of month temperatures will turn colder with more moisture and winds 18-20, breezes and scattered showers 21-26 and more of same 28-31. There appears to be no need for a tornado watch in the area this month with any activity centered in other parts of the country. Full moon, which will be this years “Hunters Moon,” rises on the 24th at 11:45 p.m. EST. According to Indian legend the light reflected from this full moon made game more visible to the hunter. Prepare the home for the coming blasts of winter. Remove screens and replace with storm doors and windows. Do any necessary painting before storing for the winter. October is National Woolly Bear month in Hagerstown and Washington County, Maryland. Once again, for the sixth year, your favorite fuzzy forecaster should put in an appearance to be crowned grand champion, “Hairy Hager,” or “Alma,” the cutest. See the 1989 Hagerstown Almanack for further details. J. Gruber’s Thought For Today’s Living: Those who find the most fault with what others do, often have little or no ability to do anything of consequence themselves.

The house, on a hill just south of Washington, overlooks the town JinH thp mnnnfainc tn ihp u/pet Restored Victorian on house tour With less than two weeks to go, activity is high at the Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall in historic Washington, Virginia where the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish are putting together the arrangements to be offered for sale at the 32nd Annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale. This event is slated for Saturday, Oct. 15 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday the 16 from 1-5 p.m. Tickets for the event will be on sale at the Trinity Parish Hall and the tour houses; $6 for three houses and tea and $2.5Q for an individual house. Although there will be hundreds of arrangements offered at this increasingly popular sale, it is suggested that those who want a lovely center-piece for the Thanksgiving table, one for Christmas dinner or a different kind of Christmas gift, arrive and choose early. After making your selection, take time to tour the homes open this weekend, a tour spokesman suggested. One of these homes. Mount Prospect, is just a short walk, or shorter drive, south of the Parish Hall off Main Street on the west. There on a small knoll with 360 degree views of Washington and the surrounding mountains and fields is the lovely red brick Vietorian-Italianate residence of Col. and Mrs. Stewart Willis. The house was built in 1850, with brick produced on the property, by the Jordan family. It is surrounded and shaded by large oaks, maples and walnuts making its high-ceilinged rooms, typical of the period, a cool retreat in the hot summer. In 1039 the house became the property of Arthur and Emily Miller; it had been deserted and in disrepair and the Millers began restoration, adding baths and a kitchen. The original smooth, heartpine floors were retained. SHOOTING MATCH Sponsored by Castleton Volunteer Fire Department Every Saturday beginning October 8 1 p.m. until 12 gauge shotguns only .

Family portraits and Chinese scrolls are displayed on the walls. Many of the accent pieces, bowls, carved teak tables and chests are Oriental, some collected during the Willis’ duty tour in the Far East. Several pieces in the house came from the Governor’s Mansion in Richmond thru Mrs. Willis’ grand mother, sister of Governor John Tyler, the Commonwealth’s Chief Executive around 1900. Other houses on the tour include Spring Hill Farm, the home of Aileen and C. Keeton Barnes, one mile north of Rediviva on the east side of Rt. 622; and the home of Linda and Dean Morehouse in the center of Washington on Main Street. Miss Ruby Jenkins’ Washington Museum, featured in Virginia Magazine and Country Magazine, and the Rappahannock Historical Society Building will also be open this weekend. Tea will be served at Spring Hill Farm both afternoons of the tour and box lunches from the ladies of First Washington Baptist Church will be available in the parking lot at the Parish Hall.

Chrisman, Treasurer After second look, schools will request electronic classroom The Governor’s Educational Technology Initiative offers Virginia school divisions the latest in classroom “high tech” with an assurance that the money to pay for the new computers, satellite disks, and other equipment will be there for the first year of a five-year amortization schedule and a promise that the rest will be forthcoming. On the basis of that promise, the Rappahannock School Board has asked the county supervisors to issue bonds for $18,500, the “front money” for an electronic classroom at the high school and six computers and a printer for the elementary school. According to Superintendent David Gangel, once the supervisors act, the Virginia School Board Association will issue a like amount of bonds and use the proceeds to buy back the county’s bonds in annual transactions. The state budget for the current biennium includes an allocation to finance the first year’s repayment. Dr. Gangel told the county’s School Board in September. The remaining 80 percent will be appropriated in the coming four years, he assured the School Board. “I know it looks like a risk, but the governor and the legislature is committed to pay for this.” He also pointed out that the Commonwealth’s institutions of higher education have employed the same bond funding mechanism in the past and in every instance, “the state has made good on its promise." That being the case, “in the end we will have received these items for free," the only cost to the locality being the advertising expense for the Board of Supervisors’ required public hearing on the bond issuance. Dr. Gangel said. “This is certainly a good opportunity to expand the programs in our school system without costing any local tax dollars”, the superintendent advised, adding that Rappahannock people “have already paid for this through their state taxes, so we might as well try to get some of that money back.” The superintendent explained that the state Department of Education has awarded Rappahannock a $16,000 grant to pay a part-time employee who will develop and implement the new remedial education program which requires all students who score in the bottom 25 percent on standardized tests to receive extra instruction in reading and mathmatics. In addition, the county schools will receive $14,316 more than anticipated in the current school budget for Chapter I programs and $729 more for its “drug free education” grant. Dr. Gangel said he also expects more money than was budgeted from the federal government for special education but the exact figure for this category hasn’t yet been announced. No matter the source, before any of the extra dollars can be spent, they must be formally added to the approved school budget by the supervisors. Also, the Board of Supervisors will be asked for an appropriation to purchase new text books, the money to come from fees collected from book rentals. In other action at its September meeting, the School Board: • heard that enrollment to date is 10 students off what was anticipated for budget-building purposes, a drop which will mean roughly $1K,000 less than projected in state aid if numbers don’t go up by March, when the State Department of Education takes its official count. • adopted with no comment proposed revisions to the school’s drug, alcohol, and tobacco policy. • approved a Family Life Curriculum committee of 50, including I)r. Gangel and chairman Judy Tole. “Everyone who has shown interest” in the new’ state-mandated program is on the committee, the superintendent noted. • heard from Dr. Gangel that he will explore other options for health insurance policies for school employees while continuing for the time being the coverage provided by Johnson and Higgens through the Virginia School Board Association. Dr. Gangel's dream may come true “It’s always been a dream of mine to put together a foundation” to support public education. Dr. David Gangel told the Rappahannock School Board at its September meeting. And with Mrs. Vinnie Carney volunteering to help with organizing and fund raising, the superintendent’s dream is on its way to becoming a reality. The board unanimously endorsed the effort which Dr. Gangel stressed would be supplemental: “This would be additional funding to add extras to our educational programs which we couldn’t obtain through traditional (federal, state, and local) funding sources." Solicitation for contributions to the non-profit, tax exempt foundation would be focused outside the county, according to the superintendent. “We don’t want to overtax the community.” Mrs. Carney told the board that she became interested in the possibilities for a Rappahannock foundation for education after deciding to ppt, her children in the county’s public schools and reafctii*r that the*economic II. ' ’ bast* here wasn’t broad enough to provide special programs like those offered in Fairfax schools. As examples of the type of “extras" a foundation could pay for. she cited a field trip to the Discovery Threater for kindergarteners and a Christmas performance of the Nutcracker ballet at Kennedy Center for seventh graders. “I’d like eventually for every grade to have something special to look forward to . . . I saw a need and I also saw the money,” Mrs. Carney said, adding that she can write proposals designed for specific targets, not just the big givers, like the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, but also the hundreds of smaller, special interest organizations. The decision-making body for a local public school foundation would be a board comprised of the superintendent of schools, a School Board member, teachers from both schools, and volunteers from the community, l)r. Gangel said. “There are no negatives,” he emphasized. “It either works well or it doesn’t work at all, and nowhere in that sjH*ctrum are there any negatives.” fall Furniture sale CONTINUES...

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6,1988 That paper you hold in your hands is freedom This is National Newspaper Week. As you read this, consider what you hold in your hands. Not just a copy of a familiar harbinger of news, whether weekly, daily or something in-between. Not just a newspaper that we expect to be delivered at a regular time, a comfortable reference, and such an integral part of our lives that we rarely give it special heed. What you hold in your hands is unique This, and all the newspapers across the nation, not only brin^ you information, but also independent opinion. Not what the government wants you to think. But opinions, whose right to be expressed is protected in the fiber of our country, the First Amendment to our Constitution. What you are holding is unique because you not only can read what those in government—national, state or local—do and say, but also what those out of government think and do. What you hold in your hands is documented proof that we are a nation of divergent voices, all of whom have the right to be heard, whether we agree or not. And that is truly unique compared with the majority of the world. What you are holding is unique, because this newspaper brings you commercial choices—what to feed your family, what, to wear, what to enjoy, where towdfk and live, what to drive, where ttfgbL^Qigpare this uniqueness with other areas of the world where drab lines wait for drab choices, or where suffering lines wait for nourishment that may never come What you are holding is unique and powerful, because the news, information, facts, opinions, advice, public notices, advertisements, guides and illustrations in your hands help you make your own individual decisions on how to conduct your life—safely, successfully, more fulfilling. What you hold in your hands is unique because this newspaper is a symbol of a distinctly American concept, the idea of a free press—not an end in itself, but a means to maintain our free society through the free flow of information. What you hold in your hands is your ability to disagree—expressed in your freedom to express your ideas in our letters column in a uniquely American dialog. As we observe National Newspaper Week, think of those who bring you what you hold in your hands: the reporters, editors, circulation staffs, advertising people, production staff members, who made sure this powerful expression of America comes to you regularly, and is so much a part of your life that too often we take it for granted. What you hold in your hands is freedom. Webster Hawkins President National Newspaper Association f It is appropriate each year during National Newspaper Week to reflect on the important information and services newspapers provide in helping us plan our daily lives; inform us of important national, international and local events; advise, challenge, instruct and, indeed, entertain us. Americans have often grown so accustomed to those services that they fail to understand that the daily newspaper they hold in their hands is an indispensable instrument of democracy, designed to make possible the exercise of our Constitutional freedoms. Through diversity of news, opinion, advertisement, advice, criticism and analysis, our daily and weekly newspapers offer a freedom basic to our concept of a free society—freedom of choice. We are allowed to weigh facts; examine arguments; "compare and value" opposing positions on issues vital to public debate or to the purchase of a suit of clothing. The role of the free press, as envisioned by our founding fathers, was to protea the public's right to know, to serve the reader as their surrogate, to help watch over the administration of their government, and to provide accurate and timely information upon which intelligent and responsible decisions could be made. For over 200 years now our free press has successfully performed that function despite numerous and continuing attempts to challenge and restrict its freedom. It behooves all of us, free citizens in a free society, to ensure that our press freedom endures, for a free press serves not the publisher but the people. A free press is the keystone to our other liberties monitoring the privileges and responsibilities that come with democracy. It is a right that we must never let slip from our hands. O *=» -a-a~a— Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Chairman American Newspaper Publishers Association J FRANK AND ERNEST ' by Bob Thaves You yviTH TH£ PELL anp me with the NfWAPEp.- fmf, WE'VF (EOT FR£fP°M IN OUR HANP^/ ^ \ ‘ ^ © IMS by NEA, kjc\HM®5 Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the editor Plain, blunt, to the point To the editor: | have recently read a letter in the Washington Times from James HjrMeredith, of Cincinnati, Ohio, thaTT found to be very interesting, and with the thought that your readers may find it interesting also, it is as follows: “I support the Republican party candidates in the 1988 election and would like to urge other members of the black race to do so. “I hold this position because the greatest enemy facing the black race in 1988 is the white liberal. Most Republicans are not liberals. The only thing worse than a Democratic liberal is a Republican liberal - and thank heavens, there are only a few of those left. The only thing worse than a white liberal is a black liberal, and the only thing worse than a black liberal is a black opportunist - better known collectively as the black elite. “1 support the Republican party because the key to the American dream is citizenship, with all of its rights and privileges, and also with all of its responsibilities and obligations. With the Republicans, full citizenship for the black race may be possible. With the white Democratic liberal policies, full citizenship for the black race can never be. “I support Republicans because I believe that abortion is wrong. “I support Republicans because I believe that handing out sex devices in our schools is wrong. “I support Republicans because 1 believe that divestment in South Africa is wrong. “I support Republicans because 1 believe that handing out diplomas tc black Americans who have not beer taught what that diploma represents is wrong. “I support Republicans because 1 believe that handing out welfare checks to able-bodied njer and women is wrong. >.■ pjj “I support Republicans because I believe that state lotteries and the no-fault divorce laws are wrong and that the Republicans may be willing to change them, whereas I know that the liberal Democrats will not. “And lastly, I support Republicans because until some 20 years ago, the lowest unemployment in America existed among young black males. This was a reality because 60 percent of all young blacks were employed in black ‘mom and pop’ owned businesses. The white liberals and their black elite cohorts have destroyed black businesses because they want to keep the black race in a condition of dependency. “Why should the black race listen to me? I am the James Meredith who went to the University of Mississippi in 1962 and received a degree in history and political science. In 1966, Walter Cronkite announced that I was dead from an assassin’s bullet while on a ‘walk against fear.’ I still bear the scars and pain of the three shotgun blasts. “During 1988 Black History Month, the white liberal/black elite coalition succeeded in getting 11 of my speaking engagements cancelled at colleges and military bases. They did not want my message heard. I have dedicated my life to the task of finding the way to make me and my kind full citizens, complete with all the tools necessary for competitiveness. I have learned a lot, and want others to have the benefit of my knowledge.” , This plain, blunt, to the point letter appeared in the issue of Sept. 7. JESSE E. POND, JR. Sperryville A comparable process To the editor: According to the Federal Highway Administration’s Value Engineering Coordinator, Bruce Lind, value engineering training sessions (such as the one conducted by the Virginia Department of Transportation on the proposed Rt. 211 duallaning project) “amount to the same process” as standard value engineering studies. Mr. Lind spoke in a meeting Sept. 1 with me and three others - one, a high-level FHWA official - in Washington, D.C. He said that the Rt. 211 value engineering study was “comparable to the value engineering process itself.” As it happened, Mr. Lind oversaw this particular value engineering study of Rt. 211, which concluded that dual-laning this section of highway was not warranted by either safety or traffic conditions. Mr. Lind stood behind the methodology of this particular study. James M. Tumlin, the FHWA’s chief representative in Richmond, i said in a meeting there on Aug. 25, that the personnel conducting this value engineering study “had access to phones - they could get all the information they wanted.” These quotations are taken from notes kept during these meetings. I hope this is the last letter I have to write to the Rappahannock News for a long time. STELLA CADWALADER Woodville (Editor’s note: The Rappahannock News stands by its storu of Sept. 29, in which Bruce Lina described the Rt. 211 study as a “traininp exercise . . .far from the climate of a full study . . . they don’t have people who have the training to evaluate all aspects of design, location, or materials.” Mr. Tumlin also said last week that the workshop participants have telephones available, but if the person they call for information is not available they must wrap up the study by week’s end - answer or not. Soup labels net physical education equipment To the editor: Once again this year, Rappahannock County Elementary School is collecting labels from Campbell’s Soup cans. Our goal this year is to collect 25,000 labels. We thank those members of the community who bring labels to the school and look forward to their continued support. Labels from all Campbell’s Soup products are accepted as well as proof of purchase labels from Swanson’s Frozen Foods, Prego products and Juice Works. With these labels, our school receives much needed physical education equipment. For more information, call the elementary school, 987-8259. CAROL NOWAKOSKI RCES PE teacher Park's growth continues (Editor’s note: This letter appeared in the Aug. 18 issue of the Rappahannock News. However, due to a typesetting error, part of the letter was omitted. It appears below in its entirety, and the Rappahannock News apologises for the mistake.). To the editor: A couple of times before we’ve written laudatory letters to the Rappaluinnock News about the Rappahannock County Park and its contribution to the residents of this county, but even so, we feel that still another one is in order this year. As the nearest possible neighbors to the Park we’ve watched its use increase every one of the several years since it was upgraded from the Rec Center to the County Park. The pavilion seems to be reserved every Sunday and sometimes Saturday, too, for some sort of gathering. The tennis courts have their players at 7 o’clock in the morning and at 8 o’clock in the evening - but, not surprisingly, seldom during the sweltering midday hours; the basketball court is busy every - EVERY - afternoon until pitch dark; the swings and slide and other totused equipment are in use at any hour of any day. Since the volleyball court was moved to near the highway its use is a sometime thing (what has happened to the young adults who used to be regulars there?), and only the occasional family reunion group uses the horseshoe pitch. As one would expect, by far the most-used portion of the Park is the basketball court. Every afternoon unless it’s POURING rain it’s in use - by everybody from kids who can’t throw their soccer-sized balls halfway up to the basket all the way to very adult types who clearly show the result of not pushing themselves away from the table sooner, and all ages in between. Both sexes. Both races. And they all play together so well that one can’t help being proud of them and of the Park Board that provides and oversees the facilities. Oh, it’s true that they aren’t always as neat and tidy about disposing of their Coke bottles and candy wrappers in the trashcans as one would like, and occasionally some of the language isn’t particularly appropriate for use in front of your maiden aunt, but on balance it’s a marvelous place for people of all ages to get away from in front of the TV set and enjoy themselves in a delightful setting. At least 95 percent of those who use the facilities seem to think of the Park as their property, thus deserving of being kept more neatly than one expects public facilities to be kept. To verify that, you need only to go to the grounds around the pavilion early on a Sunday or Monday after one of the big events there the day before. You’ll be amazed at how clean the place is! A single suggestion (or complaint): Three months or so ago one of the baskets of the basketball court was broken off by some show-off who had been watching too much NBA action, and it hasn’t been fixed yet. It should be. Right away! But except for that one item, the Park Board has done a superb job, deserving of the thanks of all of us. And we should be grateful, too, for whoever had the original idea for the Park. It has been - it is - a most important element of the county’s social and athletic life. TOMMIE PARSONS and GIVON PARSONS Washington Letters to the editor Letters must reach the editor by 5 p.m. Monday to be considered for publication that week. Letters may be mailed to the Rappahannock News, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747, or delivered to the news office on Main Street, Washington.

National Newspaper Week: Freedom in your hands By LOU HATTER Rappahannock N«w» Staff Writer For our readers, the arrival of the Rappahannock News in their mailbox on Thursday morning is the beginning of a journey through the previous week’s events. But for the newspaper’s staff, and for the news contained in the paper, delivery is the end of the week’s odessey, which begins at the newspaper office on Main St. in Washington. No matter how the news is generated — whether from the Board of Supervisors, the county schools, the arrival of a new baby — if no one at the newspaper knows about it there will be no mention of it in the newspaper. That’s the function of the editorial staff: Editor Lou Hatter, county government reporter Daphne Hutchinson, and photographer Cindy Mahan. The editorial staff pursues story ideas received through a variety of means; whether it’s a suggestion from someone met in the post office, a “Letter to the editor,” a telephone call from someone who saw or heard something interesting. News comes in many forms, and if it’s interesting to the residents of the county, the Rappahannock News tries to find out about it. Sometimes, the story can be told in words — in other cases, only a picture will do it justice. Often, both are needed. The old maxim that “A picture is worth a thousand words” is nowhere more true than in a newspaper. What many readers don’t realize, however, is that without advertising there would be no Rappahannock News each week. Account Executives Ann Brown and Cathy Pullen spend many hours each week contacting and working with potential advertising clients, both for the display advertisements which appear on the news pages and the word ads which make up the “Classified” pages. Subscriptions pay only a small amount of the costs of running the newspaper, and advertising provides most of the revenues. That’s what determines how many pages the newspaper contains each week. The question is not “How many pages will it take to print the news this week?” but rather “How much advertising do we have this week, and how much news will fit on those pages?” That question is answered each Tuesday by General Manager Barbara Burke, who “dummies” each ad into its place on a page. Working with Editor Hatter, they decide which pages will be devoted to what; be it “News of Record,” “School,” “Sports and Outdoor Life,” or “Rappahannock Rappahannock News photos/Cindy Mahan HOT OFF THE PRESSES, Piedmont Press Production Manager Greg Falkenstein (right) scans the final result as Linwood Ball stack papers en route to the mailroom. Journal.” And on the inside page, readers will find the community columns or social news, reported by the paper’s community columnists. Faithful writers, these columnists have been reporting on the activities in their communities for years. And for many readers, the Rappahannock News just wouldn’t be the same without the contributions of June Clark. Gladys Dodson, Marie Atkins, Ruth Clark, Polly Aylor and Cathy Smith. The newspaper recently changed correspondents for its Sperryville news. After many years, Louise Varner has retired from the news business, and has been replaced by Tammy Dwryer, an RCHS senior wTho also works part-time at the newspaper office. But the news pages are only one part of the makeup of the paper. For many, the “Commentary” page, containing the paper’s weekly editorial and letters to the editor, are an equally important feature. For journalists, a newspaper just isn’t worthy of the name without a strong editorial page. That’s where the editorial — which presents the newspaper’s view on a variety of topics of community interest — appears. It is also the page where “STRIPPING” A PAGE, Jan Brewster uses a light table to check for imperfections in the negative. Later, she will lay in negatives of the photographs and use the full-page negative to bum the image of the page into a metal plate, which will be put on the presses. readers have an opportunity to present their view about editorials or any other subject of general interest by writing a letter to the editor. The Rappahannock News welcomes contributions to this community forum. Whether our readers agree with the paper’s stand or not, we appreciate their views. And, the more people who express an opinion on timely topics, the more likely it is that all sides of the issue will be debated. Recently, the newspaper has added an “Op-Ed” page, or “Opposite Editorial.” This contains more lengthy opinion pieces or commentary written either by our readers or staff members.. Whether it’s on a current news event or a column relating a personal experience, it provides another dimension for the newspaper. And that’s important. Sometimes, that “Perspective” column or “From my chair...” elicits a greater response from readers than the news stories from the monthly government meetings. Gathering the news and photographs at the office in Washington is only part of the story, however. Once the news is written and stored on computer disks, it still has to be sent to The Fauquier Democrat office in Warrenton, where the News is pnnted. There are no more eopyboys and paste pots in the newspaper offices of the 1980s — now the news is written on computer terminals and transmitted over telephone lines from Washington to Warrenton. On Wednesday morning, Editor Hatter and GM Burke travel to Warrenton to supervise the makeup of the paper. It is there that the news becomes the familiar newspaper which arrives Thursday morning. The dummies which contained only ads Tuesday afternoon have been filled with the news stories which will round out the pages. And, with the help of the pasteup staff, the work of making up the pages will begin. But only after the compostion staff has checked through file to make sure that the correct commands are in place to create headlines, bylines, and body copy. And proofreaders will also read each story to make sure that the style is consistent and the copy is free of typographical errors — the dreaded “typo” which often means a “Correction” run in the next week’s edition. Meanwhile, upstairs, the graphic artists in the advertising department are busy transforming each client’s advertising order into a combination of words and art which will convey the business’s message to the public. Once the news and advertising copy is pasted onto the dummies, with red masks marking the place of each photo, the flats are delivered to the production department. There, each page is photographed by a large camera, transforming it into a photographic negative. After the photographic negatives are added in a process known as “stripping, ” the full-page negative is placed against a metal plate coated with photo-sensitive chemicals. Then it is exposed to a bright light, which “burns” the images of the body type, photographs and advertisements into the plate. Other chemicals develop the image, producing a positive impression of the page on the metal plate. That metal plate then travels downstairs to the web press, where the journey is completed. Newspaper printing is based on the elementary scientific principle that oil and water don’t mix. The plates, with their slightly raised impressions which correspond to the type and other images, are fastened to metal rollers. As the press spins, the rollers and plates run through a trough containing an oil-based ink. Another machine adds water to the mix. The plates, covered with ink which sticks only to the raised impressions which correspond to the type and other images, press against fiber-covered rollers called blankets. They, in turn, press against the paper, which runs through the presses in continuous sheets called webs. Through constant adjustments to the ink and oil mixture, the pressmen assure the quality of the images - making sure that the photographs are not too dark while keeping the type a true black. As the webs wind through the presses, the newspaper comes together, until at the folder the pages are combined and each copy is cut, at the rate of several hundred each minute. Once the presses are set up and the ink mixture properly adjusted, each week’s Rappahannock News press run of3,500 copies can be printed in just 15 . minutes. After the printing is completed, it is just a short trip to the Democrat's mailroom where advertising inserts are added and each copy is run through an addressing machine — assuring that each subscriber will receive their copy through the mail. After the papers are bundled according to which post office or store they go to, Circulator Pat Raynor is off on her own journey, which carries her from Castleton to Front Royal, delivering the newspapers in bundles and bags to each post office, newsstand and general store along the way. Meanwhile, after advertising orders are verified, the Rappahannock News staff takes a deep breath, exhales a sigh of relief, and returns to Washington, another week’s paper “put to bed.” And, on Thursday morning, as our subscribers are opening their papers to read of the week’s events in Rappahannock County, the Rappahannock News staff is already planning what will appear in next week’s paper! PASTING UP COPY, Chris Moorhead wields a knife and ruler as he lavs out a page. 3 IN THE ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT, graphic artist Pam Symington checks the layout of a display ad.

Festival of Leaves set in Front Royal Time is quickly approaching for the Eighteenth Annual Festival of Leaves sponsored by the Warren Heritage Society. This year it will be held this weekend, Oct. 8 and 9. Many local organizations cooperate to make the Festival a fun time building community spirit, one of the organizers said. Saturday at 9 a.m. a reception will be hosted at the Farmers and Merchants National Bank. While some people are enjoying the refreshments and social gathering, others will be on the streets running in the 5-K Race sponsored by the Samuel’s Public Library. The Opening Ceremony will begin at 9:45 in front of the Warren County Court House. The parade follows at 10:15. The new route begins at Sixth Street and Royal Avenue, moves South on Royal Avenue, turns onto Chester Street and finishes its route by moving West on Main Street. Marching bands, antique cars, horses, clowns and much more will delight the crowds. The morning is still not over. Mosby’s Rangers will be on hand after the parade to demonstrate their Civil War calvary maneuvers. Betty Lenz’s Arabian horses will thrill the Festival visitor with an exhibition of equestrian skill, the spokesman added. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, ticket holders may visit the Royal Oak Craft Show at Morrison School, the Heritage Quilt Show in Belle Boyd Cottage, an Indian Artifact Exhibit in Ivy Lodge, the Confederate Museum, Williams Chapel C.M.E. Church, and get discounts from the Downtown Merchants who display the golden leaf in their decorated windows. Skyline Caverns offers a $1 discount on the entrance fee to the Caverns for the holders of block tickets. Block tickets will cost $3 for adults and $1.50 for students. An entrances fee of $1 will be collected at the door of the above mentioned locations for persons not holding block tickets. The block ticket, as well as individually purchased tickets, may be used for entrance to the Landmark Art show which will be in the Front Royal Firehall. Special entertainment both days at various locations will include a musical entitled “An Evening with Irving Berlin” performed by the Front Royal Little Theater in the Warren County High School, Ted Kreh and the Shenandoah Travelers Bluegrass Band, the Fearless Airborne Conjury (a juggler of chain saws and other delightful amusements), the Rivermont Ramblers Square Dancers, Kevin Owens (local magician), Whiskey Creek Bluegrass Band, the Skyline Dance Orchestra, and more. There will be plenty of excitement for children on Chester Street as well as at the Firehouse. But that is not all! Antique cars will be on view at the Village Commons, the 4-H clubs will be demonstrating and making applebutter for sale, the Valley Garden Club will be selling dried flower arrangements and the annual Festival Bake Sale will be sure to sell out early on Saturday morning. Charles Newton will display some of his photographs depicting the history of Warren County and Front Royal. Of course there will be lots of food to enjoy from the various booths in the Morrison School Playground, Williams Chapel C.M.E. Church and the Firehall. On Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. the public is invited to the dedication of the Laura Virginia Hale Archives.

In Colorado, it’s the gold of the aspen that inspires such enthusiasm. In New England, it might be the brilliant oranges and yellows of the sugar maples. And in the Shenandoah George Washington National Forest it’s the fire red of the dogwood and black gum. Despite appearances, nature doesn’t paint with brushstrokes. Paint-by-numbers might be the accurate comparison, because each tree has its own fall color bound-up in the chemical composition of the sap, which provides the “instructions” on what color to turn. According to the American Forest Council, trees change according to complex chemical formulas. Depending on how much iron, magnesium, phosphorus or sodium is in the tree, and the acidity of the chemicals in the leaves, trees might turn amber, gold, red, orange or just fade from green to brown. Scarlet oaks, r red maples, and sumacs, for instance, have a slightly acidic sap which causes the leaves to turn bright red. The leaves of some varieties of ash, growing in areas where limestone is present, will turn a regal purplish-blue. What prompts the change? Although many people believe that a mischievous Jack Frost is responsible for the color change, the weather has nothing to do with it. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, a chemical clock inside the trees starts up, releasing a hormone which restricts the flow of sap to each leaf. As autumn progresses, the sap flow slows and chlorophyll, the chemical that gives the leaves their green color in the spring and summer, disappears. The residual sap becomes more concentrated as it dries, creating the colors of fall. As the leaves die and fall to earth, the forest begins a winterlong slumber. The leaves, which through the warmer months convert carbon dioxide to oxygen, now take up another task, enriching the soil and providing nutrients for future generations of trees. And by the time this year’s leaves fall, next spring’s leaves are tightly wrapped in buds ready to unravel in the soft colors of spring. This change is paralleled, though without such drama, in the vast evergreen forests which sweep across northernmost New England and the Midwest, dip deeply into the South, and run in a thick swath down the Pacific coast. These softwoods lose their three-year-old needles in the fall. But some needles plump with heavy resins and sap, drop to the earth year-round and are replaced with fresh ones. And in the spring, new shoots at the end of the limbs add a dash of emerald green to the stately and somber pine, spruce, and fir forests. Just as trees prepare themselves for spring by putting forth buds, so man prepares for future generations by planting forests. Last year, over three billion tree seedlings were planted, 12 for every man, woman and child in the United States. Today, 62,000 concerned landowners, representing 89 million acres, manage their woodlands as registered Tree Farms. There are also 191 million acres of National Forests in the U. S., including the George Washington, Jefferson, and Monongahela National Forests in Virginia and West Virginia. “As long as the concern for the nation’s forests remains high, Americans will have ample forest land for their recreation and timber needs, and plenty of opportunities ho eryoy the glorious colors of autumn,” a Forest Service spokesman said. In conjunction with “The World Comes To White Post” on Oct. 15, there will be six-mile White Post World Run at 8 a.m. This is the first annual foot race and it will begin with cannon fire. There are many awards for all age groups and the first 200 finishers will receive a signed and numbered print of White Post Celebrates. This all new course is TAC Certified and is located on very scenic, rolling, Virginia countryside. Winners in this race will ride in the White Post Parade in some special exotic transportation at 10 a.m. There is no charge for registration.

Three members of each library’s team will also be eligible to attend regional training seminar in late fall. Poets included in the series are Robert Frost, Hart Crane, Emily Dickinson, William Carlos Williams, Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens and Sylvia Plath. Mrs. Brents said that Grace Sims, who will serve as project director, will represent the library in San Diego in late October, when specific information about the dates of the program will be announced. "We are really excited" about the award, Mrs. Brents said. “And we will be even more so when we find out what dates it will be here. ” She credited the letters of support which the library received from a number of community leaders as probably the factor which ensured the library’s nomination. Letters were enclosed from Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Gangel, the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy (which funded several past library programs), the Chairman of the Library Board, the Middle St. Gallery, RCHS English teacher Jon Heddleston, and RAAC, among others. Mrs. Brents said that more information about the grant and the dates that the program will run would be announced after Mrs. Sims returns from San Diego.

Day realtor PERSONAL PYRAMIDING In today’s era of climbing home prices, many first time buyers have a right to be frustrated. However, if there’s a will, there’s a way. For example. we’ve seen first-time buyers invest in a home in the lower-end price range, put a lot of "sweat equity’’ into it, sell at a profit and move up to a better home. I call it “personal pyramiding.’’ There’s no big secret to it. You buy a home and move in. Then you make improvements at your own pace as your time and money allow. When you are satisfied with the project, you sell it at a price to cover your purchase price, cost of improvements and your profit. Then you re-invest in another home of equal or greater value. Naturally, since your replacement house will be equal or greater than the cost of the previous home, your taxable gain will be deferred. As a bonus, you’ll have your own house to live in while increasing your net worth. This can be the opportunistic route to eventually acquiring your dream house.

T ransfers Continued from page A-1 (whose denial of a family subdivision prompted the amendment allowing a sixth cut by special exception permit upon compliance with specific standards), they should change the zoning regulations to allow7 other small landowners to divide one-acre lots for family transfer. “You’re discriminating against us! You call that fair?" “You should change the ordinance for all the small landowners,” interjected Mrs. Wilson Atkins, who is Mrs. Berry's sister. “You all want to shove the small landowners down the drain, but you don’t forget to send out the tax bills.” “We’d liked to be considered. We’d like some say-so in how we can use our land, rather than just having to pay taxes on it,” added Mrs. Burnham Atkins, the mother of the two women. “All of us w ant to do what we can to help the small landowners,” responded Supervisor Mike Massie. “Personally, I feel like the amendment we’re adopting here tonight accomplishes a lot . . . We go to far greater lengths to help the small landowner than any other county around here.” At Mr. Massie’s request. County Administrator John McCarthy reported how neighboring localities handle the state's ambiguously worded requirement for a family transfer provision: • Culpeper sets the minimum lot size for a family division the same as in its agricultural zones. That county now has two agricultural zones with one and two-acre lot sizes so the minimum for a family division is also one or two acres, depending on which agricultural zone the land is in. But Culpeper is currently considering a comprehensive downzoning, possibly to four agricultural zones with minimum lot sizes of two, five, 10, and 20 acres, and if that is accomplished, then the minimum lot size for family divisions would be upped correspondingly. In addition, Culpeper disallows the sale of a lot created through the family transfer provision for a mimimum of five years. • Madison County makes the minimum lot size for a family division the same as the zone in which the property is located, which is three acres for agricultural zones and five acres for conservation zones. Madison also literally applies the state requirement by allowing family transfers only to child or parent, and not to the spouse of tHat child or parent. The result is that banks are reluctant to make home construction loans to “half a marriage.” • Page County categorizes all subdivisions—including family divisions—as either class A, with any lot less than three acres, or class B, where all lots are three acres or more. For class A subdivisions—including family divisions—a road built to state standards must be put in if the lot is not already served by such a road, and if several small family lots are subdivided, either public water and sewer lines must be extended to the family development or a package treatment plant must be provided. • Warren County allows one-acre family divisions but limits cuts to four, no matter what the size of the original parcel, if any lot created from it is less than five acres in size. For more than four cuts, the property must be rezoned. • Clarke County gives no exceptions to family divisions but does have a one-acre minimum lot size. However, the number of cuts allowed from a particular parcel is determined by a sliding scale zoning system that sets a lower density on large tracts of agricultural land. • Fauquier County makes the minimum lot size for family divisions the same as in the applicable zoning district, which is either two, five, or 10 acres for agricultural zones. “Although some of our neighboring counties allow one-acre lots for family divisions, they all have restrictions that are much more severe on how you make that lot," Mr. McCarthy concluded. The only exception is Culpeper County, but even that will change if the proposed downzoning is approved, he added. “I feel that Rappahannock County right now is willing to do more than any county around here for the small landowner. We have the most liberal family subdivision provisions of all the counties around. But there's no way we can please everybody," Mr. Massie concluded. At Monday's public hearing, in addition to enacting the family transfer amendment, the supervisors: • Adopted an ordinance amendment which defines library as “the Rappahannock County Public Library or any branch thereof." • Granted a special exception permit to Joan Brown Doares for a fiveacre family division, the sixth to come from the “parent” lot of record as of 1962. • Approved an amendment to the proffer originally offered by Sheila O'Brien in the rezoning for her School House Restaurant in Flint Hill. The amendment allows Mrs. O’Brien to have two bed-and-breakfast rooms over top of the restaurant. The addition entails no changes to the existing exterior or interior of the building or to the Health Department permits for the restaurant's water supply and sewage disposal system, Mr. McCarthy noted. • Authorized Chairman Hubert Gilkev to sign a letter of thanks to Culpeper’s Board of Supervisors for taking Rappahannock's solid waste for disposal for seven months until this county’s new landfill opened this week. “If it hadn't been for Culpeper, we’d have been in deep water.” noted Mr. Gilkev. "They were the only county that would help us," Mr. Massie said. “Other counties actively picked on us when we were down, too,” said Mr. McCarthy, pointing out that Culpeper didn’t use the electionyear excuse put forward by other counties against taking "outside trash," even on a short-term swap basis. If Culpeper hadn’t accepted the agreement whereby it disposed of Rappahannock's trash in return for Rappahannock accepting one-and-ahalf times that volume of Culpeper’s refuse plus paying hauling costs to the landfill here, “the only other alternative we had was Richmond at $1,000 a day," Charles Estes added.

Lifestyle lUppabannocfe iletoa THURSDAY. OCTOBER 6.1988 Alex Smith saw love at Camp Fantastic “Everybody I ever talked to about Camp Fantastic said it was a really, really wonderful experience. Other junior leaders at the 4-H camps told me that. Sally Miller, who served food at the camp, told me that.” So Alex Smith decided he wanted to go. The Rappahannock County youngster, a junior at Wakefield School, had been a 4-H’er since he went to 4-H summer camp as a nineyear-old. “At my first camp, I got an award for being the beat all-around camper. That’s what really got me Into 4-H.” John Dooley, the director of the Northern Virginia 4-H Education Center, la always assessing his 4-H campers for the qualities he wants in his 4-H leaders. “I want kids who aren’t afraid to let their hair down, who aren’t afraid to experience emotions they’ve never felt before,” Mr, Doolev said. “1 look for sensitivity. I look for a kid who is creative In relationships and creative in communications. Someone who can contribute to the campfire experience. I like someone who has special skills, who could teach a class in, say, archery. And, as with all our camping programs, 1 need kids who can be role models, because the children at camp are going to want to grow up to’ be like their junior leaders,” In seven summers of being first a camper and then a junior counselor at 4-H camp, Alex demonstrated those qualities. One of the 10 4-H’ers picked as teen leaders for the 1988 session of Camp Fantastic, Alex was apprehensive when he arrived for the start of orientation on Friday night. “1 was absolutely the most nervous I’ve ever been for camp. It scared me—a lot. I didn’t know how I would act, and I was hoping the kids would like me.” At orientation, the young man listened as Dave Smith, the president of Special Love, told of the single junior leader among 60 in six years for whom Camp Fantastic was not a positive experience. “That counselor’s bed got peed on because the kids could tell his smiles weren’t honest. I didn’t want that to be me!” Alex didn’t need to worry. His kids latched on to him and never let go the entire week. He had maybe the toughest bunch—four little boys, seven and eight years old. And one was hyperactive, not just a high energy child needing a little extra attention but the medically-certified genuine article who can’t sit still for a minute. “And they were the niftiest kids I ever met! When l saw the kids— Dave Smith was right—they were huggable, just huggable. They looked like.,. well, they looked like my best friends.’’ And his co-counselor was Jeff Derfiinger, a former camper who graduated last year from Duke University and is going on to the University of North Carolina for graduate work in pastoral counseling. “He was a great teen leader. About the best I’ve ever met, and that includes the leaders from when I was a camper and used to look at them as heroes.” Jeff dubbed their crow The Weasels and the two leaders marked the blue camp jackets— theirs and the foursome’s—with big white Ws on the back. Alex was a teen leader at 4-H camp the week before Fantastic and at Junior High camp the week after, and he says with authority and experience that the campers at Fantastic ■ are different. “They’re always excited about what’s going on; they’re always enthusiastic. They’re so easy to love—love is everywhere at Camp Fantastic!” “There weren’t any rough times, except when the kids were sick,” Alex continued. “Once, Chip let out a scream in the middle of the night. He’d thrown up over the side of the bed. Jeff and I cleaned it up. It was scary—he hadn’t shown any signs of feeling bad. And he was such a good kid. Whenever the other three were stirring things up, being little fiends, Chip would give us ideas on how to get them all together again.” Handsome, tanned, and athletic,*, with a dazzling smile—he was dubbed Smiley by the campers— Alex was target of a score of preteen, sub-teen, and teen crushes. He tried hard not to play favorites, being careful to dance with everyone at See SMITH, p. B-3 Lamb on the menu Rappahannock News pho(o/Lou Haller THE INN AT LITTLE WASHINGTON was the buyer of Tyrone Starks’ lamb. Rappahannock News pholo/!.ou Halier d°cWINNER OETHE Grand Championship, Scotty Updike displays his prize-winning Black Angus at the C-M-R Farm Show this summer. The heifer was purchased by American International Exporters of Woodville, represented by Neecee, Tennessee and Nelson Phelps Lane. 4-H first-timer was big winner at fair Scotty Updike almost had to rent a trailer for the ribbons and awards he brought home from the state -Jfcir's livestock show last month. Read Tub list of honors and you wonder if there was anything left for any other 4-Hers to win. The nineyear-old from Rappahannock County had the grand champion market lamb and the grand champion pen-of-three lambs. He took the championship in novice fitting and showing with his two crossbred hogs and then won two third-place ribbons for the hogs themselves. Scotty got two fourth-place ribbons for his market steers, a fifth place with his market heifer, a first with his March heifer, a second with his April heifer and a third with his May heifer. And that might not be all yet: the Updikes are still waiting to hear the results of the carcass contests. His mother, Toni Updike says Scotty does most of the work of taking care of his animals. He halter breaks young livestock, walks the lambs, steers, heifers and hogs, washes the animals and helps his dad, Randall Updike feed the rest of the stock on the farm. But then Scotty also gets help from mom, dad, his seven-year-old brother Justine and his five-year-old sister Katie. “It’s a family project,” Mrs. Updike affirmed. A little assistance is to be expected; after all, this is Scotty Updike’s first year in 4-H and his first time in 4-H livestock competition. But by a long shot, this year’s activities with Rappahannock’s 4-H livestock club and the judging at the state fair in Richmond was not Scotty’s introduction to livestock. “I’ve been helping my dad since I was two,” he reported. ‘That was the first time I went to the fair.” He says he likes working with livestock because he likes having animal friends. His best animal friend is his Angus cow. “I just call her Number Two. I like her because she’s the tamest.” Another favorite is the purebred Suffolk ewe he raised who produced the grand champion market lamb. “No way” are farm animals stupid, Scotty says, adding that he thinks both cows and sheep are smart, with the latter ranking a little higher on the intelligence scale. “One of our bucks was smart enough to figure out how to lift up the gate and let himself out of the feeding pen,” Scotty reported. This summer, he spent almost every day taking care of his 50 animals. “But as soon as school started, I couldn’t do much. When you have school, it’s hard to keep up. Going to fairs and all, I even missed some school,” he said. But Scotty didn’t sound like he minded that too much And neither does he mind missing the leisure time taken up by his ani mals. “I get to play a little bit. But I’d rather be taking care of the ani mals, anyway.” He's not in the 4-H livestock club to begin preparing for a career in ag riculture. “I’m not sure if I want to be a farmer when I grow up. I do it just ’cause it’s kind of fun, and be cause I get to make new friends,” Scotty concluded. Dooley makes 4-H meaningful for children These days, John Dooley is in the dream business. It is dreams that he fulfills with the innovative programs which have made the Northern Virginia 4-H Education Center a model for the nation. It is a dream that he hopes to complete with the $3.5 million fund drive he leads as director of the center. City folks see 4-H as kids down on the farm, growing tomatoes for the county fair and raising a calf for a livestock show. And most country people don’t view this 74-year-old youth program much differently, although they might add sewing, canning, and other home economics skills, horsemanship, the polish at public speaking that comes from making presentations in 4-H competition, and the outdoor adventures that 4-H Bummer camps provide for rural children. Certainly, John Dooley sees 4-H as all of these things. But his vision encompasses much more. He has dedicated his Harmony Hollow dream business to making 4-H relevant to the young people growing up in suburbia and to the country children who are watching hay fields, orchards, and pastures replaced by subdivisions. To explain, he talks about the four Cs of the center’s 4-H programs: cows, cooking, computers, and cancer. Cows and cooking are self-explanatory; they draw from the 4-H tradition of agriculture and economics. Sea DOOLEY, p. B-2 AT CAMP, JOHN DOOLEY joins a tasting of space food.

Dooley Continued from page B-1 Computers are now part of every 4-H camp, ranking right up there in popularity with horseback riding, eanoeing, and swimming. At this summers sessions, kids had to be literally pulled away from the room fill! °f Apples supplied by Potomac Edison. The computers let the kids play games, compose music, create art which came off the printer in vivid color, design posters for dunking booth contests and womanless beauty pageants, and write the camp newspaper. And in the process of having fun, the kids became computer literate. “Camping is a traditional program that teaches survival skills. But the skills children need today for survival are different from what they were a half-century ago,” Mr. Dooley explained. “We have to reflect that change in our philosophy and attitude. We’re preparing today’s youth fo. all our tomorrows. We’re dedicated to that.” The fourth C is Camp Fantastic, •the camp for children fighting a lifethreatening disease. Now on its sixth year at the center. Camp Fantastic depends heavily on the hours donated by 4-H volunteers who serve as junior leaders. Their presence is what makes Fantastic different - and better, the campers all say - from* other summer camps for youthful cancer patients. Camp Fantastic is the heart of the 4-H clover. “It’s the reaching out to children with special needs that’s called for by that heart,” Mr. Dooley said. Tom and Sheila Baker, a Winchester couple whose daughter died of cancer, came to Mr. Dooley with an idea for a special camp at the 4-H Education Center in the foothills above Front Royal. It was to be a magical week when youngsters with cancer would have a chance to do everything that every kid does during summer vacation. They would be able to swim without worrying that others would find a bald head funny looking; they would be able to ride without worrying that the instructor would see a prosthesis and say, “You can’t stay on a horse." For a week, they would set the standard for what’s normal and what’s not, and they wouldn’t be different because their differences would be sharedCamp Fantastic has been all of that, and more. The first year of the camp brought 40 kids to Harmony Hollow to forget about cancer for a week. This year, the roster numbered 83. They ride hay wagons and hot air balloons, dance to rock ‘n’ roll bands, weave baskets and friendship bracelets, fall in love in a summer romance, cry at the final campfire, and form the bonds for Family Fantastic. And Special Love has grown beyond the week-long camping session in August. The non-profit organization, which with the 4-H Education Center and the National Institute of Health, sponsors Camp Fantastic, also has Family Fantastic weekends at the center, outings to ball games and amusement parks, ski trips, YAC weekends for young adults with cancer, a Christmas party, and Top Brass weekends for the bothers and sisters of children with cancer. From the beginning, John Dooley tapped 4-H’ers to help. “We’re changing kids’ lives,” he said. “Fantastic is a life-changing experience for 4-H kids. There are not a whole lot of experiences around in this world that are as positive.” Ten 4-H’ers are selected to be junior counselors for each camp session. Mr. Dooley encourages the extension agents in the 17 counties that comprise the Northern District to have their teen leaders apply, and then he picks the best of the best. “I’ve watched many of these kids grow up. I’ve seen them as campers at 4-H camps and as leaders.” But still, he admits, the choices are hard. “It’s just unfortunate that we don’t have more spaces for more kids.” At Camp Fantastic, the 4-H’ers gain “a totally illuminating perspective of what life is all about,” Mr. Dooley said. “They learn that life is fragile. They learn that life is not always fair, but that problems need to be put in perspective. They learn the importance of caring. They see that the world in which we life is very superficial, and they realize that the support system we provide for one another is the most important thing we have. Mr. Dooley has watched 4-H’ers from Camp Fantastic abandon plans to major in business administration and instead study medicine, drop drama school for rehabilitative recreation, and switch from computers to counseling. “Almost every one of the kids who have been involved in the Camp Fantastic program has changed vocations. They’ve changed career objectives. They’ve changed their philosophy of life and their relationships with their parents and their peers,” added the 4-H Center’s director. Mr. Dooley has 4-H’ers also serving as counselors for the center’s summer programs for senior citizens. It was a small beginning: just a weekend for campers aged 60 and older. “We did the same thing that kids do in camp - canoeing, horseback riding, closes on creek critters. But the counselors and instructors were 14 and 15-year-old kids. We really broke down the generation gap! The kids expected the seniors to be slow and senile; the seniors expected the kids to be brash and uncaring. And after a weekend both groups left with totally different opinions,” Mr. Dooley recalledThe 4-H Center now holds a Christmas Camp for seniors who don’t have families with which to share the holiday. “It’s a Christmas memory the 4-H kids will never forget,” he said. “We.give, and we give. Through classes, through discussion, through special meals. We decorate a tree, we sing carols, we laugh, we cry, and we share sto ries.” The snapshots from a past Christmas camp also tell a story. This one is about 50 senior citizens and a score of teenagers, all of them smiling, all of them looking like grandparents and grandchildren in a large and loving femily come home for the holidays. There is also Fun Factor, the world’s only program in which children with hemophilia are mainstreamed into a traditional camping experience. Thirty youngsters who suffer from this hereditary condition attend the regular camping session with 4-H’ers from Arlington and Fairfax. “They teach 150 other kids that life is fragile and that not all children have the same oportunities. The sharing is unbelievable. You have to see it to understand,” Mr. Dooley said. He concedes that “on the surface, some of these programs may not seem appropriate for 4-H-” But he points to the leaves on the 4-H clover and what they mean: hearts are touched, hands are helping, heads are thinking, all contributing to the health of the children in 4-H. And it isn’t just the 4-H’ers who work with the elderly and with sick children who are changed. ‘"Hie experience for the 3,000 kids who take rrt in our regular camping sessions just as significant,” Mr. Dooley said. “Our programs are unique for them, too.” He has brought the assistant U.S. Surgeon General to Harmony Hollow to lead a frank and open discussion on AIDS. “Young people are afraid. They need to be able to asl questions, to learn,” the center’s director explained. Just one month’s programs have included a business management course for teens and a “Love is ... ” weekend, where the emphasis was on building self-esteem. “Think about it,” Mr. Dooley said. “The problems young people have with drugs, with alchohol, with sex, all go back to self-esteem. Teenagers need to learn to look first at their strengths, and then to identify their deficiencies, but only if they’re going to develop a plan for correcting those deflcienies.” It is programs such as these that have pushed the demand beyond the capacity of the center’s facilities and prompted John Dooley’s Complete the Dream capital outlay project and fund drive. Certainly, he is persuasive with the heads of major foundations and the presidents of banking institutions who are being asked to contribute to the $3.5 million project which will include a larger dining room, an auditorium and classroom building with a modem health center, and 24 new lodge units. And Mr. Dooley can be counted on to win financial support next year from the local governments in the 17 counties that send children to the 4-H Center. But it’s a shame he can’t bring them all to Harmony Hollow to Camp Fantastic, or Fun Factor, or the Christmas Camp, or 4-H summer camp. Because then words wouldn’t be necessary. They would see the really important work that goes on at the Northern Virginia 4-H Education Center. “Complete the dream - that’s what we do here. We complete the dreams of youth.,” Mr. Dooley said. “The wholesomeness of 4-H needs to be transmitted, not only to the young but to all adults. If we can make a small impact in this way, we’re doing our part.” Experience is a good teacher and / feel the experiences / gained through 4-H have had a tremendous impact on my farming and livestock program. Because of my experiences in \-H livestock judging contests, I always had a desire to produce the kind of product the consumer demanded. —Hoy H.

Smith Continued from page B-1 the two rock ‘n’ roll parties, finding room for yet another kid to squeeze around the breakfast or lunch table, and talking in turn with a dozen giggling girls. “But it was hard! I’d dance with one and another one would cry; I’d go talk to her and someone else would get mad." Somehow, he managed, impressing older onlookers who doubted that one young man could flash so many grins that gave the campers the message, “YOU are important to me.” “We had a job,” Alex said. “It was to be with the kids, to take care of the kids, and to see that they were happy.” As John Dooley intended when he brought 4-H’ers into Special Love’s programs, Alex learned a lot from Camp Fantastic. “I know cancer isn’t something to be avoided. Bald heads don’t make me nervous, not in the least! On the streets, at malls, I used to think, ‘Oh God, I’m staring.’ But now I’m comfortable. Any kind of handicap no longer bothers me. I think I’ve changed ... I hope I’ve changed.” Alex laughed, recalling the multitude of cameras that recorded the goings-on at Camp Fantastic. “I feel more uncomfortable with a movie camera now than I do with kids who have cancer.” He says the campers taught him how fragile life is and how important it is to seize every moment. “And I learned how to share my love freely. Usually, I’m not so demonstrative With my love. But at camp, it comes out. It’s so easy to show it.” On the seventh day at Camp Fantastic, there was sweet sorrow aplenty. “Leaving was awful. I really wanted to stay,” said Alex. He’s been busy since his return, answering every letter from the campers who write him regularly, and this weekend, he’ll be back in the clouds of Harmony Hollow for the Family Fantastic fall weekend. Then comes the Christmas party, the ski weekends, and next August, another session of Camp Fantastic, he hopes. , “I want to go back every year I possibly can for the rest of my life. It was like getting 83 new family members, and I miss them all,” Alex said. “Everything’s different since camp. Camp Fantastic makes everything else seem so insignificant.” 4-H'ers say what 4-H has meant to the II “When I think about 4-H, I think of swimming underwater at the pool at Clover Bud camp.” - Katie Updike “It means fun and' having nice things to do.” -Justin Updike “4-H is spirit and caring and helping out other people.” - Alice Reeve “4-H to me is the opportunity to learn abour different places and to learn about different people. It is the opportunity to go different places and meet people from across the state, or, if you’re lucky enough, to go to National Congress and meet people from all over the nation. 4-H is learning about livestock. I’ve done a lot of 4-H sewing projects and I can take pride in that work. To me, 4-H is a way to learn and to be proud.” what you’ve learned .. Liz Oliver Camp: Give it a chance By ALICE REEVE Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer Any type of camp can be fun if you give the counselors a chance, give the teen leaders a chance, give other campers a chance, and give the food a chance. Camp food, contrary to popular belief, can be good. For instance, one night during overnight camp they made a mean Mexican burrito, followed by chocolate pudding. So, give the food a chance. At 4-H camp, which is held at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center outside Front Royal, they have a dog named Mandy. She’s a beautiful Golden Retriever who loves to chase rocks. We were down at the pond and I threw a rock for her to catch. It landed in the pond, so I decided to help her go get it. I slipped and fell right in the mud -wearing my Dad’s white shirt! We never did find that rock. Being elected “Little Chief’ at 4H Camp was also a lot of fun - but it took some work. For those who might face the office in future years, here are some tips: • Be friendly to even the worst of your enemies. • Ignore all bad comments. • Above all, always smile! And, whether you’re “Big Chief,” “Little Chief,” or one of the gang, remember to give camp a chance. Alice Reeve, who lives in Washington, is a member of the Rappahannock U-H Club. Help complete the dream “We're nearly halfway there,” reports John Dooley, the Northern Virginia 4-H Education Center’s director and leader of the $3.5 million fund raising effort for the center’s expansion. Since the drive began this March, $1.7 million has been pledged or donated, Mr. Dooley said, adding that he expects it will take five years to meet the center’s goal. Most of the money will come from m%jor foundations, banking institutions, and the local governments of the 17 counties and the City of Alexandria which comprise the northern district. But a substantial share is being sought from small contributors: 4-H clubs, service organizations, extension homemakers’ clubs, families and individuals. Donations in any amount will be appreciated and may be sent to the Northern Virginia 4-H Education Center, P.O. Box 1101, Front Royal, VA 22636. 4-H alumni: 'Come home' BLACKSBURG - 4-H is asking its alumni to come home again. 4-H, the youth organization of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, wants to find where its former members are and what they are doing. “We are looking for these alumni,” said Wayne C. Garst, executive director of the Virginia 4-H Foundation," and we are asking them to send us their names and addresses so we can count how many individuals have been part of 4-H over the years. “4-H clubs have been a vital part of education for more than 75 years.” Mr. Garst said. The 4-H four-leaf clover is one of the most widely recognized logos in the world as an estimated one of every seven Americans has been a member. Many former members have continued as volunteer leaders. 4-H started in Virginia in about 1908 as part of the “learning by doing” philosophy of education that was growing at that time. The first organizations were , called com clubs. In them, rural youngsters learned new information about growing different crops, including vegetables. At about the same time, tomato clubs were started where young women learned about canning and preserving vegetables, clothing, and other home economics topics. The learning by doing philosophy is also at the base of the Cooperative Extension Service. It is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its founding in 1914. Today. 4-H in Virginia has more than 128,000 members in community clubs, school clubs, special interest groups, and school enrichment groups. Many clubs are organized by adult volunteer leaders. Last year there were more than 6,500 of these volunteer leaders and almost 1,000 teenagers who learned leadership skills working with the younger members. Mr. t'.arst expects to find the 4-H alumni in every city and community in Virginia even though most current members live in small towns. Fifty percent of the 4-H'ers are in towns with a population of less than 10,000. More than 16 percent live in city suburbs; 13 percent live in larger towns and cities; and 11 percent live in cities with a population over 50,000. A little more than eight percent live on farms. “4-H is socialization at 4-H Congress, raising livestock, and having lots of fun!” -- A in if Richardson “4-H means going to overnight camp and teaching kids how to be independent." — Xoah Waggoner “I think of being with my friends, being at meetings and making stuff. I think about who’s going to teach at our 4-H meetings and what we’re going to do.” - A mg Hathaway “I think about archerv and creek critters at Clover Bud Camp.” -- Lauren Sharp “4-H is going to overnight camp with my friends and having a good time there. And it's fun times in 4-H clubs." -- \iHih Waggoner “To me. 4-H means more responsibilities. Rut it also means getting to make new friends and learning stuff." - Scottg Updike “When 1 think of 4-H, I think of a lot of hard work. I think of animals. I think of raising animals and selling animals. 1 think of farmers. And I think of fun and enjoyment!” -Emmy Bailey County Youngsters And 4-H Programs ———---— -- - - CONGRATULATIONS 4-H’ers l&appaljannockJietosi Main Street Washington, Virginia 22747 To subscribe place your ad or a news idea call 703-675-3338 FROM THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS OF VIRGINIA BEST WISHES 4-H’ERS COUNTRY FARE FROM THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS Sperryville, Virginia 22740 703-987-8824 Congra tula tions 4-H'ers CountrySidc Floor Fashions Route 211 Amissville.

When 4-Hers cook When people think of 4-H, they jtWaily think of kids in the barnyard, Hjfcing cattle, sheep or pigs. PerNls camp comes to mind. But when one goes looking for 4H activities, one needs to look no ■•Hher than the kitchen. The couny youngsters have proven by the Hbbons they’ve brought home from •Strict and state competitions that they do know their way around a rioye. Here are a few examples of their culinary expertise: Liz Oliver prepared this Indoneaian favorite at the district presentation, and it garnered her a blue Hbbon from the appreciative judges. She took it to Richmond and came home with a red ribbon from the Virginia State Fair. Sate’ Manis (Indonesian beef on skewers) 1-1/2 lbs. sirloin or top sirloin steak 2 Tablespoons soy sauce 1 Tablespoon lemon juice 1 Tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon caraway seed 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon garlic salt 1 Tablespoon Worchestershire sauce Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Cut meat in 3/4-inch cubes. Combine with other ingredients. Marinate for 1 hour, turning meat over several times. String meat cubes on metal skew’ers. Pour remaining marinate over the meat after placing the skewers on a broiling pan. Broil approximately 10 minutes, turning several times. (Cooking time will vary according to how tightly meat is pushed on the skewers and according to how rare it is to be cooked.) Yield: 3-4 servings. Mary Beth Williams proved that this tempting dessert is a winner, and she says that anyone who tastes it is sure to agree. The only suggestion is that they be made in large batches, since just a few won’t last long! Lemon Squares 1 c. flour 1/2 c. margarine 1/4 c. confectioner’s sugar Filling: 2 eggs, beaten 3 T. lemon juice 1 c. sugar 1 T. flour 1/2 tsp. baking powder Combine flour, margarine and confectioner’s sugar. Pat into 8-inch square pan. Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Mix filling ingredients together and spread over bottom layer. Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool, sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. It’s the time of the year when pies made with Rappahannock apices are a natural favorite, and this recipe from Amy Richardson gives an old favorite a new twist. Spicing up the pie crust with cheddar cheese was a real hit at the State Fair too, and Amy was awarded a blue ribbon for her innovation.

Refrigerate both while you make the filling. Measure the sliced apples. You should have about 4 cups. Mix apples with sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon rind and juice. Arrange a row inside chilled pastry about 1/2-inch from edge and work toward center until shell is covered. Pile remaining slices on top. Dot with butter and cover with top crust; slash in several places. Seal edges securely and crimp. Bake in preheated oven at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 30 to 35 minutes. Five minutes before pie has finished baking, brush top with cream and sprinkle generously with sugar. Cheddar Pastry 1-2/3 c. sifted all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 c. shortening 1 c. grated cheddar cheese (loosely packed) 1/4 c. ice water Filling for apple pie Sift flour and salt together, work in the shortening, then add the water, sprinkling it over the surface of the mixture. Stir lightly with a fork until pastry holds together. Divide pastry in half and line 9-inch pie pan with one portion, saving the other for top crust. Refrigerate both while you make the pie filling. Bake as directed for apple pie. Mix caution with recipe Many children like to fix snacks after school and they often use electrical appliances to do so. The parent, however, must gauge how responsible the children are before letting them use the stove, microwave, or other kitchen appliances. The best rule-of-thumb is to read the manufacturer’s instruction booklet. If the booklet says “This appliance should not be used by children unless supervised by an adult” tell the children that particular appliance is off limits unless an adult is nearby. If it is decided the children are responsible and old enough to use electrical appliances, follow these safety rules: • When using countertop appliances, make sure cords aren’t dan- | gling over the stove or another hot surface. - • Cords; or the appliance itself, should not be used close to water. If an appliance should fall into water, teach you children not to reach for it. • Kitchen, bathroom, laundry area, basement, and outdoor electrical outlets should be fitted with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs).

AfrieiiKuiv RitmlM A(w4 • Surround the trunks of fruit trees with hardware cloth or similar wire, and bury the edges in the ground to prevent rodents from chewing on them. • Clean up home orchard and small fruit plantings. Sanitation is essential for good maintenance. Dried fruits or “mummies” carry disease organisms through the winter to attack next year's crop. • A final weeding of strawberries, blueberries or raspberries will help keep weed problems down to a minimum. Start collecting fresh pine needles or clean straw to mulch strawberries after the ground has frozen. • The cool, dry days of fall are an ideal time for painting buildings and wood fences. The job will enhance the beauty, usefulness and value of your property. It is also a fine contribution to community beautification and civic pride. • If the cold frame is not in use at this time it may be appropriate to add soil to replace that taken away by transplants. A mixture of two parts garden loam, one part sand and one part compost or aged manure works well. • During fall, demand for garden supplies is low so keep an eye open for special prices on hand tools and power equipment to be given as gifts or used next year. • Garden tools add up to a large SEENIK RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY!!

Family Worship Center started as a brand new church about 4'/2 years ago with si* people and has grown to a congregation of nearly 90 people. We are a non-denominational, New Testament church. We stress the full counsel of God's word. We believe and teach that the Bible is to be applied in everyday life. We also believe and teach that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord, and that it is only through faith in Him, that one can be bom again and receive forgiveness of their sins. We leach very strongly that Jesus is not only to be savior of our lives, but Lord of our lives, in every area of our lives. Now concerning the Holy Spirit, we believe and teach that the Holy Spirit and His gifts should have the freedom to move and express Himself in the church service. We believe that His ministry in the life of the believer is extremely important. We believe and teach based upon God’s Word, that every Christian needs to be filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. We teach that we need this power that the Holy Spirit gives in order to be an effective witness for Jesus Christ and to do His work. I want to mention that we believe in the freedom to worship God openly in unashamed praise. Our worship services are a time of celebration and thanksgiving to God for His mercy and goodness. All of our songs are either scripture songs, which are Bible verses put to music, or they are songs given by the Holy Spirit that are based upon God's Word. Our church has and is and always will be open to any race, color or creed. Our congregation at the present time is about half black and half white. I as pastor of this church do not tolerate prejudice or discrimination at all between blacks and whites. We are all created equal in God’s sight. I don’t have enough space to tell of all the many different ministries of our church, concerning the children, the youth the poor, or missions. But I do want to say that this church is called by God to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and sick, suffering world. You may be new in this area or have lived here all your life and you have been looking for this kind of church. We invite you to come and visit our church and experience the life changing power of Jesus Christ. Our service times are 10:30 Sunday Morning and 7:00 p.m. Wednesday night. We are located in the old school building on Mt. Salem Ave. in Washington, Va. You can call me at 98780,4 Love in Christ, Pastor Bill Taylor financial investment. Take care of tools so they need not be replaced. Bring all your gardening tools inside. Clean them off. Use a stick to remove soil that is caked on. With a rag apply oil to the metal parts of tools to prevent rust. With proper care quality tools can last you a lifetime. • If the soil is dry enough before the ground freezes, you can plow. Fall plowing allows earlier planting in the spring and is especially good for heavy soilB since they are exposed to the freezing and thawing action of winter which helps improve soil structure. a Do not apply quick-acting fertilizers while tilling the soil during the fell. Otherwise, the nitrogen will leach away before spring. Materials which release nutrients slowly into the soil such as bone meal can be worked into the soil in the fall. • Fall is an excellent time for taking soil samples in the lawn and garden. Soil tests will measure the acidity or alkalinity of the soil and the levels of some of the major elements required for plant growth — phosphorus, magnesium, and potas sium. Where lime is needed, now is g good time to apply it. e Pebbles or crushed rock make an attractive mulch and doesn't attract rodents the way organic mulch can. With a combination of rocks and a barrier layer (such as three-four sheets of newspapers, four mil black plastic or one of the new weed barrier fabrics) underneath, weed control is assured for up to two years. Use impermeable barrier lavers (solid plastic) in situations where no plant growth is desired. Around shrubs or trees use a permeable weed barrier (landscape fabric) which allows air and water to reach the roots of desirable plants. t Pine needles are like good building insulation — full of air spaces. They insulate the soil and make an ideal winter mulch for perennial flowers, small fruit plants (especially strawberries) and acid-loving shrubs and trees. Pine needles prevent alternate freezing and thawing which may leave shallow-rooted plants out of the ground, a problem especially serious on heavy soils.
