He said that the much-needed moisture was rapidly absorbed into the ground, and the remaining was quickly evaporated by the wind. Warden Jenkins urges residents to use extreme caution when burning outside. For advice on current conditions before burning, contact Warden Jenkins (9878837) or call the county's dispatch center (675-3331). v~ ~ ■-> ft.> ; _ j 14 .v-.

The public is invited to attend the meeting. , Fall color watch Peak fall color has passed at higher elevations in Shenandoah National Park and throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains. At lower elevations the colors are sti 11 spectacular, but the winds have picked up during the last several days and are stripping the trees of their colorful wraps. Leaf-seeking visitors to the county are warned to bring their patience, since traffic backups are common during these weekends of peak fall color.

C. media By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Rappahannock County gained another celebrity business last week when That Sperryville Emporium was featured on the cover of “Washington Business,” the Washington Post’s weekly business magazine. That was followed on Monday by a visit from Channel 9’s Mike Buchanan, who did a feature on the store. Ushering a visitor into the crowded corner which serves as his office, answering an occasional telephone call as he talked, owner Maurice O’Bannon was philosophical about all the fuss. He leaned back in his wellworn chair and smiled, “It’s all too much.” The Post called the Emporium “A Store With Character.” And if there’s any truth to that, there’s no doubt that Mr. O’Bannon is largely responsible for it. He related part of the interview done by Mike Buchanan on Monday when he asked a first-time customer what she thought of the store. “It’s alright, but it’s kind of tacky,” she told the interviewer. Mr. O’Bannon continued, “Mike turned to me and asked, ‘What do you think about that?’ I told him I agreed. If I’d thought about it I would have added that after last weekend it’s bound to look tacky.” And, Mr. O’Bannon quickly emphasized, “We’re not trying to imitate Tyson’s Comer in display — or prices either. As long as people buy it, that’s what counts.” The interview is interrupted by a phone call. “Yes,” Mr. O’Bannon tells the caller, “if you can get any apples you’d better buy them.” He laughs and adds, “If you’ve only got 30 bushels you might as well close up and call the resuce squad,” he says, with a mischievous look at his visitor. After he hangs up he explains, “That was Huey from Parkway.” The Parkway Gift Shop, several miles west of Sperryville, is also owned by Mr. O’Bannon. “He’s trying to find some apples for this weekend. ” He estimated that the store sells about 200 bushels a week during the peak fall season, most from the large bins outside. “Most people like to bag their own. We sell them the bags inside and they can fill ’em, mix them up, whatever.” Cider sells briskly too, about 150-180 gallons each week. As for best sellers, Mr. O’Bannon said that’s hard to figure, although since the Post story, the large pig banks, at $19.95, have been hot items. He sold the last one Monday evening. “I guess I’ll have to go and get some more,” he mused. That pig has been one of the Emporium's longtime items, but never as popular as in the last week. “We’ve had them for a long time. It wasn’t a best seller, but he made it one.” And the pig isn’t the only item which is a brisk mover. Business is booming, Mr. 0’Bannon said. Up about 15 percent each year, he said that sales have already equaled last October’s total, “and there’s still one weekend togd.” If past weekends are any indication, the parking lot will fill up early and empty after dark as the visitors finally head down country. But it’s not just customers from Washington, D.C. and the Virginia suburbs who find the Emporium fascinating. “We get them from everywhere,” Mr. O’Bannon said. The busload of senior citizens mentioned in the Post was from Amarillo, Texas. “They come every year, one bus a day for five days. Then there’s a Chinese group « Rappahanmvk News photos/Cindy Mahal ON CAMERA, CHANNEL 9’s Mike Buchanan,(left) talks with Maurice O’Bannon. The interview is tentatively scheduled for broadcast on the evening news on Nov. 1 or 2. which comes through every fall — they always call if they’re going to be late so we can stay open.” In country fashion, true to his cattle-farming roots, Mr. O'Bannon sets the store hours by the sun, opening early and closing about sundown. The store, along with Parkway, is open every day of the year except Christmas Day. That too, is a longstanding tradition. He’s nonplussed by all the hubbub surrounding the recent media visits. “I offered that reporter lunch last week," Mr. O’Bannon said, “told him I’d take him to the deli for a sandwich. He told me he couldn’t do that, he'd lose his job, but that he could take me to lunch. So I said, ‘Sure’. "He wouldn't even take any apples -—but he did buy a bag before he left. So did Mike Buchanan,” Mr. O’Bannon added, obviously proud of his Rappahannock apples. Last week, after the story came out, Mr. O’Bannon said the lot was full of visitors who had bought a Post on the Skyline Drive and who wanted to stop to see the store for themselves. “A young man stopped today and told me that they love Rappahannock County, but that they had never stopped at the store. “I told him, ‘See what you missed?’ He said he’d be back in the morning.” But really, after almost 20 years in business, what does Mr. O’Bannon think of all the publicity about his country store? See EMPORIUM, p. 18 TOURING THE EMPORIUM. Mr. O Bannon talks about planters with Mr. Buchanan as cameraman Wayne Myers and producer Mark Seeger capture it all on film. County planners give nod to library's proposal By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer With only a couple of qualifications, the Rappahannock Planning Commissioners last week unanimously recommended issuance of a special exception permit for a new county library near the Town of Washington. The 5,000-square foot building would be constructed on two acres of agriculturally-zoned land given to the library’s Board of Trustees by Dean Morehouse. The two acres are to be subdivided from a five-acre parcel which already includes a residence, and the gift is contingent upon construction beginning within two years. The planning commissioners expressed concern that the land division be allowed solely for a new library, and recommended approval of the special exception permit conditional upon merger of a narrow strip of land at the rear of the two acres, either with the library lot or Mr. Morehouse’s property, which also includes an adjacent 33.8-acre unimproved parcel. In a letter to the Board of Supervisors, adjoining landowners Terry and Stephen Wagner did not object to the library per se but opposed the destruction of the loafing shed, which has been the site of the annual living nativity display, apd an old stone wall on the property. “It is just such sites that bring tourists to our area,” wrote the Wagners, describing the two structures as rural landmarks. And they said they would object to a library at that location if it required commercial rezoning or if a way can’t be found to retain the stone fence and the loafing shed. “The library would benefit all of Rappahannock County,” said Aileen Johnson, calling for approval of the special exception permit. “You’re going to have some body who’ll oppose everything you do,” she added. "I hate to make comments in opposition to this project,” said Phil Irwin, de» scribing himself as a long-time friend of the library who has supported the facility' with annual donations. But he maintained the old Presbyterian Church which nowserves as the library could be retrofitted! to provide more space on a second and third floor and that jxtssibly the building could be expanded to the rear. “I see potential,” Mr. Irwin said. And, he asked, if See LIBRARY, p. 18 Reckless driving causes accident A Washington, D.C., man was charged with reckless driving after an accident Sunday evening on Route 211 west of Sperry ville. According to Virginia State Police Trooper R. E. Keen, Hans Peter Brunner, 32, was eastbound in a 1986 Mercedes four-door. He was coming down the mountain from Thornton Gap in heavy traffic about 7:30 p.m. Trooper Keen said that, according to a number of witnesses in other cars which were passed by Brunner, he sped past at least 10 and possibly as many as 15 cars. He slammed head-on into a 1967 Plymouth two-door driven by Clyde G. Bryant III, 19, oif Falls Church, who was headed west up the mountain on Route 211. Trooper Keen said that the witnesses told him that Brunner began to pass the other traffic on a double solid yellow line, which continued to the point where the collision occurred. Brunner suffered a broken right ankle, and Mr. Bryant was hospitalized with a broken jaw, several broken teeth and facial lacerations. Trooper Keen said that Brunner was wearing a seat belt, and that his Mercedes was equipped with airbags. He did not know if Mr. Bryant was wearing a seat belt. Brunner was charged by Trooper Keen with reckless driving, specifically passing on a solid yellow line. Fire and rescue personnel from Sperryville and Washington responded to the accident, which tied up traffic from Washington, Va., to the top of the mountain at Thornton Gap.

Sperryville VFD gets pumper/tanker “Thanks to the support of the community,” assistant chief Richie Burke said, “we are able to upgrade our firefighting capabilities.” He was speaking of the recent purchase by the department of a 1975 Kenworth pumper/tanker from a fire department outside Chicago. The truck has a diesel engine, automatic transmission and a covered rear compartment where additional firefighters can ride in full turnout gear. That compartment is fitted with self-contained breathing apparatus, which the volunteers can don en route to the scene. The piece will replace Sperry ville’s aging tanker, which was a conversion from an oil tank truck when the department bought it years ago. “We purchased it with the idea of replacing two trucks,” Mr. Burke explained. “It will also improve the effectiveness of our firefighting capabilities while cutting down on maintenance costs.” The department is also looking toward increased efficiency, the longtime volunteer firefighter said. Citing the chronic shortage of trained volunteers, especially during weekday hours, the pumper/tanker will allow the department to get one truck on the road to a fire which has the capabilities of two of the department’s old vehicles. With a 1,000 gallon water tank, a 1,250-gallon per minute pump, a prepiped and mounted deck gun, several hundred feet of hose and hard sleeves to draft water, the new truck will allow firefighters to attempt to contain a blaze until more equipment arrives to assist. “If I can get two other people here,” Mr. Burke said, “we can take three people and have water and hose to get to work.” The truck, which also carries ladders and entry tools, will have a PUBLIC NOTICE DUMPSTER SITE CLOSINGS ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1988, the dumpster sites at Amissville and Castleton will be permanently closed. County residents should take their trash to either the Huntly or Scrabble dumpster sites or to the landfill facility itself, which will open to the public on that day. White goods (refrigerators, stoves, freezers, etc.) tires, construction debris and scrap metal may only be disposed of at the landfill site during normal hours of operation, 7:30-3:30, Monday-Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

County's new public health nurse is no newcomer to Rappahannock “Rappahannock County is such a i oeautiful place to work, I’m so glad to be back!” Marion Facchina, the county’s new public health nurse, announced last week. Even though she’s been on the job only since Sept. 1, Marion should be almost as familiar to Rappahannock people as her predecessor, Frances Thornton, who held the same post for 36 years. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William G. Eastham of Red Hill, she was bom and raised in Rappahannock. Marion probably knows everybody who attended Rappahannock County High School between 1975 and 1985. The class of 1980’s valedictorian, she was president of the Student Council Association, an officer ip the Varsity Club, a member of the National Honor Society, on the Rhapsody staff and a starter for the girls’ basketball team. She certainly is familiar to anyohe who’s involved with horses, not just in Rappahannock but throughout the Piedmont region. An outstanding horsewoman and a partner in the family horse business, she taught scores of local children and their parents how to ride and helped scores of families pick out a horse to buy from the Eastham stables. She’s been a member of the Rappahannock Hunt and a regular winner in horse shows and point-to-point meets over the years. And for those who might have missed Marion on horseback or in the halls of RCES and RCHS, she’s that outgoing and friendly young woman who never passed anyone without giving them a smile and a hello. After graduating with honors from the University of Virginia, she married her childhood sweetheart, John Facchina, who was then a deputy with the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. He joined the State Police and she became a visiting nurse with Home Country Home Health in Warrenton. She says she considered applying for the public health nurse position back in 1986 when Mrs. Foster retired, “but John was in school, and we didn’t know where he’d be assigned when he finished. It could have been anywhere in the state.” By the time the job opened again with John Sexton’s resignation, Trooper Facchina was stationed in Loudoun County. That made it possible — though just barely, and only MARION FACCHINA because the couple has a second home in an Upperville farm apartment and a first home in Rappahannock. “We see each other on weekends — sometimes! It’s hectic but it’s worth it. We’re like foxes — we have a couple of dens,” Marion joked. She loves her new job with an enthusiasm that is barely contained. “As a field nurse, I worked mostly with patients who had cancer or heart disease. Most of them were dying, and I was trying to provide the care that would enable them to stay at home. It was challenging, and it taught me to be independent. I learned to give I Vs and chemotherapy in the home. I learned to work outside of an institutional-type setting. But I was ready for a change! “I really didn’t know what being a public health nurse meant when I applied. There are so many programs, so many free services that the Health Department offers. I had no idea! I’m hoping to go out more in the schools and the community. I want to do more things at the Senior Citizen Nutrition Site. I’d like to give talks there at least once a month. I want to be real active.” She smiled, shaking her head and sighing. “But right now, I’m just learning about the programs. There are so many. “Let me tell you about them — if I can remember them all! People should know what’s available here at the Health Department,” Marion insisted. There are the maternal and child health programs. Pregnant women can see a doctor at the clinic in Washington and then deliver at the See FACCHINA, p. 17 Wine's haunting art on display at Middle Street Gallery Haunting is the word for Tracks, Eva Jonasson Wine’s exhibition now at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. Her images of prints in the snow keep reappearing in memory. Remembered, the paintings raise nagging questions: Who or what made the tracks? Where are they coming from? Where are they going? What happened to the beings that left their marks in the snow? The paintings are part of a larger work to be called Textures and Urtext, Mrs. Wine says. “It is after the way tracks make textures, the weave in and out, back and forth, creating a text which tells us what has been before,” she explains. Urtext is “the source, my roots, telling me about the past, my past and ours . . .For me it is a place called Vastansjo (west of the lake) in my homeland of Sweden. I am the fifth generation, mother to daughter, to come from that small village. The tracks my ancestors left are in and around that place. And they are also in me. These paintings are for me the chance to discover them.” Eva Jonasson was crossing Europe by train in 1973 when she met Jim Wine, the American she would marry and whose poetry would later send her art in the new direction that led to this first solo show. “My paintings were watercolors of landscapes — very picky, very precise, very small. Then suddenly, I felt like playing! I put my canvas on the floor, and I was painting very big!” “Play” is a word Mrs. Wine uses often when she talks about art but it’s not “play” in the standard sense. #Art is serious, very serious, the most serious thing there is,” she says. “The ideas (for the paintings in Tracks) have been growing in my mind for five years, but the part where the ideas came down on the canvas happened very fast. Maybe that’s the play part. I am trying to be freer, trying to go away from being picky.” The ideas that proceeded the oils on canvas came from a poem her husband Jim had written to her about Vastansjo. Titled Whitescape, it talks of “<juiet gallops over snow” and an “air of things about to happen, a thing of dreams, thingstead, of presence gathered unaccustomed, acute to the quick shifts, a sleep shaken half-waking to the wolfhour, when weather has us weakest, everything in place in darkness. . .and nothing waits. . .stirs.” “The poem is telling me to look closer at things — tracks, wood, waves, gravel — for they are much more than they seem,” Mrs. Wine explains. “In the grain of wood you see clearly the passing of time. You can count the years, how many times this planet has circled the sun. Each thing tells a story. ,flt is especially true of tracks on a fresh cover of snow. It is like a fresh canvas, It is white but not blank. It is a meeting ground. Tracks mean that someone or something has come before you.” , The tracks in her paintings were left in the fields and forests surrounding the couple’s home near Linden. They are the tracks of rabbits, deer, the family dog, the footprints qf Jche artist ahd her husband, and others — maybe strangers —out for a hike on a snowy winter morning. She photographed the tracks for reference, but her paintings are not copies of the photos. “I blew up the photos, and I played with putting parts together. I exaggerated the colors and changed the backgrounds.” She shrugs and smiles. The titles of the nine big paintings — expanses as big and bold as a field freshly blanketed with snow — and four smaller drawings are all taken from her husband’s poem. As printed in the slim volume, Longworks, published by Sun and Moon Press, Jim Wine’s poetry is almost a painting in itself, the arrangement of words and white space making its own set of tracks across the pages. It’s apparent that the two find inspiration in the same places and in each other. And Eva Wine’s exhibit at Middle Street is but her first visual expression of his lyrical art. “This is just the beginning of something,” she says with certainty. “I feel there’s a lot more from the poems that’s coming.” Eva Jonasson Wine's exhibit Tracks will be at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington for the month of October.

Chrisman, Treasurer Beverly Bowen is new social service director There’ve been few time-outs in the game of catch-up Beverly Bowen has been playing since assuming the post of welfare director last month. Not only does she have a new job in a new county, but she’s also had to fill in for the missing social worker whose slot has been vacant since June. “It’s been very busy,” she acknowledged, taking a short break Monday for an interview. “I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to get to know Rappahannock County.” For the most part, welfare programs are mandated and controlled by the state and federal governments, but the director of social services can set a tone that encourages or discourages participation. The eligibilty criteria don’t change — a client either meets or doesn’t meet the qualifications for programs such as food stamps and aid to dependent children — but an affable director can make it easier for the needy to ask for help. And with a warm smile and open, friendly manner, Beverly Bowen is approachable. A graduate ot James Madison University (then Madison College) with a degree in social work and a minor in psychology, Mrs. Bowen began a career in social service but then dropped out to try real estate. “I enjoyed being a broker, but it just wasn’t me. Social work is where my heart is,” she said. So she returned to the field as a child protective services worker with Culpeper County’s Welfare Department and was there for a year and a half before coming to Rappahannock. While she’s quick to say that she hasn’t yet had an opportunity to make an in-depth assessment, Mrs. Bowen can already see areas here that need attention. She emphasized, however, that she doesn’t view herself as a wonder worker who can jump right in and make things perfect. Given the constraints of time, regulations and budget, change is difficult to effect, she acknowledged. With that preface, she noted “child protective services are a growing concern everywhere in Virginia and in the nation. I know this is a quiet, peaceful community but still, child abuse is out there. I don’t think we’re getting the number of reports we should be getting. I think more is going on,” she said. Here, she thinks, people need to be better educated on what to do if they suspect a child is being abused or neglected.' ' Companion Services for the el BEVERLY BOWEN derlv, the only optional program offered by the county welfare department, is approaching a funding crisis, according to the new director. “Unfortunately, the state cut that budget. We have a little bit of money left but that will soon be depleted." But Mrs. Bowen hopes a supplemental appropriation for companion services will be forthcoming from Richmond in December, and she sees justification for additional support for this program in a philosophical shift at the state level. The State Department of Social Services has adopted a “family focus" approach to social work, she explained. This recognizes that “the family is the central building block of society, so when the family structure is weakened, society is weakened. . .That’s why home care is so critical,” she said. A “family focus" stresses the importance of programs such as companion services which provide the assistance necessary for elderly people of limited means to remain in their communities rather than being placed in nursing homes at public expense, according to the director. “We need to keep older people in their own homes as long as possible,” Mrs. Bowen maintained. Not only is home care less costly, but “studies show that people do better at home — older folks and children, too. “We have a gigantic foster care case load for our area," Mrs. Bowen continued, reporting that Rappahannock currently has 18 children receiving foster care.

—^^■■— Commentary Election '88: The Rappahannock News endorses ... For President? None of the above We wish that we could use this space to endorse either George Bush or Michael Dukakis as the next President of the United States. We can’t. Instead, we share with most voters the frustration of a campaign which has been filled, not with high-minded discussions of the pressing problems and difficult choices which the next president will have to make, but with mudslinging, name-calling, shameless pandering and political demagoguery.' The result, unfortunately, may very .well be the lowest voter turnout in modern times. hither Mr. Bush or Mr. Dukakis will preside over some of the most difficult times of any recent president. It seems clear to all but the partisan career politicians of both parties and their advisors that neither candidate has given the American public any concrete proposals about how they plan to approach the problems which face us. Mr. Bush talks of “a thousand points of light.” If a Democrat had said that, he would be accused of suffering an LSD flashback. 1 Mr. Dukakis, meanwhile, is on the defensive. He rides a tank wearing a helmet that doesn’t fit and is so ill-informed that he tells a group of factory w orkers “You are the survivors” of foreign takeovers — not having been told that particular factory is owned by an overseas company. All these quips and slips are great fodder for the evening news. The election of ’88 has become a campaign of daily photo opportunities, a contest hinging on who can spewr out t he best phrase which fits the allotted time. I ntortunately, the discussion of critical issues doesn’t fit television s format. What is required is realistic proposals, not attacks on the opposition’s patriotism or assertions that the deficit can be cured by collecting delinquent taxes. I ’nfortunately, with less than a month to go, it doesn’t appear that anything will change. We'd like to suggest that the voters opt for a write-in candidate: Electoral Reform. It’s a non-partisan choice—and one that's overdue. And. if that write-in candidate wins, the only losers will be the politicians. Robb for Senate We feel that former governor Charles S. Robb is the right man to fill the U. S. Senate seat being vacated by Paul S. Trible Jr. Gov. Robb is a man with experience in government , a man respected by people of all political persuasions in Virginia. Although he carries the Democratic banner, Gov. Robb hails from the party’s conservative wing. He was one of the founders of the Democratic Leadership Council, a group which also included Georgia’s Senator Sam Nunn. < lov. Robb, while fiscally conservative, also has shown compassion for the least fortunate of our society -—those who too often are left behind in good times and the first to feel the belt-tightening of difficult economic straits. As a Marine, Gov. Robb served in Vietnam. He understands the importance of defense, and realizes that the l Inite.! States — while seeking peace — must also be vigilant against others with less honorable intentions. He shares Sen. Nunn’s conviction in that regard; that the current political climate of improved relations with the Soviet Union should be welcomed but still viewed with caution.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. Gov. Robb’s Republican opponents have made much political hay of his admitted friendship with certain individuals who have been implicated in the use and distribution of drugs in the Virginia Beach area. We share the concern of the Dawkins campaign, but feel that while Gov. Robb may have demonstrated naivete and bad judgement in his vacation associations, there has never been any evidence that he was personally involved in any of the illegal activity. And, we would remind Mr. Dawkins that his campaign has not been blemish-free. Just after his nomination, early biographies distributed called him “Dr.” Dawkins, a* distinction which was retracted when it was learned that his doctorate was of the honorary variety. Two weeks ago, one of his campaign aides disappeared with part of the proceeds from the campaign. Mail fraud charges are pending. On balance, we think that Gov. Robb offers the balance of progressive conservatism and governmental experience which will benefit not just Virginia, but the nation as a whole, if he is elected to the U. S. Senate. 'Yes' for racing Virginia voters are again being asked to vote on a referendum which will bring state-approved gambling to the Commonwealth. Last year, we opposed the state lottery. This year, we support pari-mutuel betting. There are several arguments advanced by the referendum’s opponents. The first and often-cited one is that betting on horse races is gambling, and gambling is wrong. We can’t argue with that, if that is your belief. Just as some people feel that alcohol or cigarettes are immoral and wrong, others decry gambling as an intolerable vice. We respect the opinions of those who hold that belief. But, the referendum would only create the legal framework for pari-mutuel racing. Each locality would be free to approve or deny the placement of a race track within its boundaries. The majority would rule — yea or nay — in each city, town or county where a race track is proposed. Second, opponents argue that racing would increase illegal betting and attract criminals, drug addicts and other undesirables. In the 1970s, both the Virginia State Crime Commission and the United States House Select Committee on Crime studied that concern and concluded that organized crime exerts no significant influence over horse racing. The Virginia bill requires criminal background checks on prospective employees, and the cooperation between race track owners and their security personnel, the racing commission and law enforcement agencies helps to deter known criminals from involvement in racing ventures. If criminals are attracted to racetracks, it is probably for the same reason that they attend football games, rock concerts and other public events. They do not single out racetracks —they are likely to be found anywhere there are large numbers of people and money being spent. Racing will benefit the economy of Virginia, both directly . in terms of jobs at the racetrack and its support services, and indirectly through money spent by visitors. They not only spend money at the track, they also often patronize nearby restaurants, shops and hotels. By one estimate the state could gain $200 million each year in direct and indirect revenues from racing. Legalizing horse racing will also help to stem a huge economic loss to the state as more of our top breeders send their best horses to other states. Horse breeding is a growing 3 business in those states, while it is presently on the decline in Virginia. This is purely a matter of money. Breeders can make more money in those states, where purses from racing allow larger fees to be paid for top studs, mares and their offspring. But it is not just the owners who profit. If those horses i stay in Virginia, they must be cared for, fed and trained. Those are all jobs which would be filled by Virginians instead of people elsewhere. Our farmers, trainers, veterinarians, and many others would all share in the benefits. If breeding farms in the state are sold because they can’t compete with other states, there is little chance that they will be bought by farmers. Most likely, the large farms will be purchased by developers, thus Sccelerating the pressures on our disappearing farmland. Horseracing would be an economic benefit to Virginia. That’s why we support the referendum to allow pari-mutuel racing in the Commonwealth. - Rappahannock Heritage THE TRAIL IS STEEP, but the view from the top of Big Devil’s Stairs makes the hike worthwhile The nhoto!T ;ret: that the Rappahannock News couldn’t print this photo in color. rapher has only one regret: The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS October 24, 1968 Mr. M.

A chivalrous knight from Sperryville rides to the rescue on Interstate 95 By BETTY PAYNE Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer Chivalry is not dead in Virginia — no, sir! I work in Richmond several days a week, and commute from my home in Fredericksburg on Interstate 95. On my way to work last Sunday, Oct. 16,1 had the misfortune to have what every woman driving alone dreads, a flat tire. I mean it was flat! I was traveling in the far left or passing lane, and managed to get my car off the highway and onto the shoulder without mishap. I got out of my car, dressed in my nurse’s white uniform, and looked at the shredded remains of the tire. I decided to go ahead and get the spare tire and jack out of the trunk, all the while thinking, “Someone will stop and offer some assistance.” Boy, was I in for a rude awakening. There must have been a hundred cars zipping by, and not one would stop. I waited for more than an hour. I thought that perhaps one of Virginia’s finest would come along, but there was not one in sight — not even hiding in the bushes waiting to catch a speeder. Finally, I managed to cross the highway and tried to flag down a passing car. No luck there either, they just steadily zipped by, giving me the cold eye and probably thinking to themselves, “Tough luck, old girl.” After about a half-hour spent flagging in vain, I had resigned myself to starting to walk to the nearest exit, when a small sports car slowed, pulled off onto the shoulder, stopped and backed up to where I was standing. A young man was driving, his car loaded down with clean clothes and books — a student headed back to college, I assumed. I asked if he would be so kind as to give me a ride to the next exit, which luckily wasn’t very far down the road, so I could get some assistance. He replied, “Sure thing!” I was near tears as I told him how glad I was that he had stopped. I told him that there must have been at least a hundred cars which passed by and not one would stop. “It’s a sad world we are living in, but I’m so glad that you stopped,” I told him. The young man said he didn’t know what is wrong with people today that no one wanted to give a little old lady some help. “I would hate to see my mother in your predicament. . .’’hesaid. I thanked him again, and added, “They must have thought I had a .46 in my handbag — maybe that’s the reason that no one would stop.” The young man dropped me off at a gas station at the next exit, where I called my son-in-law. He called work and then came to my assistance. I am in my late fifties, and have no experience in changing tires — and even if I could have, I no longer would have been wearing nursing “whites.” As it was, I didn’t make it to Richmond that day. I thanked the young man who stopped several times, but words are so inadequate in some cases and so I am writing this letter in hopes that the young man will see it. He said he was from Sperryville, and attending college in Richmond. To him I say, “God bless you, young man, and may you never lose your Good Samaritan character.” I will never forget your kind deed to me. Thank you again from the lady in white. Editor’s note: The Rappahannock News received this submission as a “Letter to the editor. ” To Mrs. Payne's blessing, we add our hopes that the young man’s attitude and actions ivill be an inspiration to others as well. Order seedlings now The Department of Forestry is now accepting orders for tree seedlings. The seedlings will not be delivered until next Spring’s planting season. However, now is the time to order seedlings to insure the species you want will be available. Every year we begin to sell out of some species around the end of December, according to Area Forester Buck Kline. This year there are 12 different species of trees for sale. For the first time, there is also a Wildlife Package available. This package contains five black walnut, 10 common apple, 25 shrub lespedeza, 15 gray, silky, or red osier dogwood, five sawtooth oak, five Chinese chestnut, 10 bristly locust, and 25 Tatarian, Rem Red or Amur honeysuckle (bush type). The price for the Wildlife Package is $65. The Department of Forestry seedlings can be planted for a variety of purposes such as timber production, erosion control, Christmas trees, sight and sound barriers, and improvement of wildlife habitat, Mr. Kline said. Prices range from $28 per 1,000 loblolly seedlings to $75 per 1,000 Norway spruce seedlings. The minimum order for most species is 50. Sawtooth oak, black walnut, and Chinese chestnut are sold in bundles of 25. The Department of Forestry will be glad to examine and/or discuss any planting site you might have. We can offer suggestions on recommended species, seedling spacing, preparing the planting site, and the best planting method, the forester added. Your planting site might also qualify for financial assistance through one or more of the state and federal cost-share programs. To determine if the planting site is eligible for cost-share assistance, we will be happy to make an examination of your property. This examination is done at no cost to the landowner, Mr. Kline noted. Anyone interested in placing an order, having their planting site examined, or are interested in the reforestation cost-share program can contact Buck Kline, Area Forester, at the Madison office by calling 9485341 or Tippy Jenkins, Chief Forest Warden, by calling 987-8837; or by WTiting to Department of Forestry, P.O. Box 148, Madison, VA 22727. Letters to the editor A convincing argument To the editor: Your choice of John Marocchi as the pre-election spokesman for the Republican Party in Rappahannock County was an excellent one. I am not personally acquainted with the man nor have I ever spoken with him, to my knowledge,. I am judging solely by his words printed by you in the OP-ED article of Oct. 20, headed “Vote Republican:” Mr. Marocchi’s words are a direct political appeal to our county for Republican votes to be sure, but his was certainly not an exercise in polemics such as one generally expects on these occasions. The three key principles which Mr. Marocchi claims undergird the Republican Party are summarized by him in simple and convincing words; the writer’s own sincerity in choosing them tells the reader that he, personally, believes in every word he is writing. I know that you hold to the doctrine of fairness and expect that you will soon print an OP-ED headed “Vote Democratic.” I hope you will do this — although I cannot think of anything, at the moment, which the Democratic Party has done for you and me in recent years nor of anything I expect from them in the near future years, except their continued existence as the Opposition Party. That, in itself, contributes indirectly — no matter whom they choose to nominate. So I urge you to choose for their county spokesman a person of Marocchi’s intelligence and ability — if they have such — to state explicitly and clearly their key principles, which will be understood and be found acceptable by Rappahannock voters. Who knows? Maybe their spokesman’s unvarnished truth is the rabbit-from-the-hat magic needed by Gov. Dukakis and his supporters at this late and critical juncture of the campaign! ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill The 'Real' George Bush To the editor: On television about two weeks ago, while giving a speech to a seated audience in Seattle, George Bush was interrupted by an old man wearing a clerical collar who shouted, “What about the poor? What about the street people?” As the police hustled the old man out, Mr. Bush laughingly said, “In my business you meet all kinds,” and the audience laughed with him. Later we were told the old man is a Jesuit priest. The event made me apprehensive and sad: no “handlers” can be blamed or credited for this. I saw the “real” George Bush and his deft, persuasive appeal to our meanest instincts, making his earlier appeal of Real Estate Eileen M.

Let’s say you are 56 and have bought and sold three residences over the years. You have used the rollover to shelter profits and have built up an untaxed capital gain of $130,000. you get an offer of $160,000 for your present home, but only want to buy a condominium for $75,000. Thanks to the tax-free parlay, you can buy the less expensive condo and still es^-pe any current tax on the $130,000 gain. First you sell your home for $160,000 and elect the $125,000 exclusion. This not only wipes out $125,000 of your $130,000 gain, it also reduces the amount you have to roll over, dollar for dollar (from ${*0,000 to $35,000 in this case). So you can buy the $75,000 condo and easily get out from under the remaining $5,000 capital gain. Total shelter: $130,000.

We’re here to help. last summer for “a kinder, gentler era” a deliberate deception. RUTH C. RICHARDS Sperryville Bush's 'incredible nerve' To the editor George Bush and Dan Quayle have the incredible nerve to warn us against “big-spending Democrats.” The Reagan-Bush administration has given us the eight largest years of peace-time government spending in our history, and over a trillion dollars of it has been put on our credit card for our children and grandchildren to pay off. The interest on this huge debt amounts to $640 a year for every man, woman and child in the U.S. Too much of this debt is held abroad, and too much of the interest goes there, so that foreigners are buying up our factories, farms, banks and commercial jseal estate. . .. A prominent Japanese recently bragged that Japan would soon be able to dictate U.S. economic policy. Lobbyists for foreign-owned companies already pressure Congress for legislation in their favor. Reagan-Bush spending has been inflated by sloppy procurement management, billion-dollar weapon systems that were not needed, some that were abandoned after huge expenditures because they could not be made to work, and fraud in procurement. It now seems that the U.S. taxpayer will be called on to bail out the savings and loan industry for between fifty and a hundred billion dollars, because the Reagan-Bush administration relaxed its regulations and tet the industry self-destruct. In contrast, Virginians can vote this year for Mike Dukakis, Lloyd Bentsen and Chuck Robb, each of whom has earned a reputation for being tight-fisted. Chuck Robb says that his wife and Dukakis’ wife have a shorter word for it — cheap. Mike Dukakis has balanced 10 budgets in Massachusetts by making tough decisions. Bush has criticized him for not cleaning up Boston’s harbor. No previous governor of Massachusetts had done anything to clean it up. Dukakis’ plan was postponed until this year because they did not have the money, partly because of cuts in federal clean water funds. Now they have it, and a six billion dollar program is under way. Chuck Robb’s most difficult, and successful, task as governor was to keep the state government on an even financial keel. He steadily improved services and held the line on taxes, while the Reagan depression of 1982, the deepest slump since the 1930s, caused lower tax income to the state due to reduced business ac Ondulme* The Lllellmc Roofing COMMONWEALTH CORPORATION Lumbers Hardware 424 Manassas St. Front Royal (703) 635-2176 RE-ROOFING SALE.

Halloween: All treats, no tricks BY SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Are at. Home Economics Halloween or All Hallow’s Eve is an occasion which long pre-dates Christianity. It was considered a night when ghosts and witches would wickedly wander. To ward them away, giant bonfires were built. Halloween can be a time of fun and games both for the youngsters and young at heart. It’s a perfect time to plan a party for children and their Mends. Dressed as tiny ghosts, goblins, witches and scary skeletons (as well as imitations of the characters of current fads), they’ll shout for joy in an event filled with treats and favors just for them. If you wish to serve treats of a hearty nature, pizza, burgers or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are sure to be winners with the young. While they do make messes, youngsters enjoy the snack stuff such as chips, dips, and pretzels. Jack-o-lantem sandwich 2 slices dark bread (wheat, pumpernickel, rye) 2 oz. cheese of your choice Place cheese on one slice of bread. Cut a Jack-0-Lantern face on the other side of the bread. Place sheet and broil in oven until cheese melts. Don’t forget the beverage. The old standby — apple cider — or perhaps a more bewitching punch. Berry bewitching cider punch 4 cups cranberry juice cocktail, chilled 4 cups cider, chilled 1 6-oz. can frozen concentrated lemonade, undiluted Sugar to taste Ice cubes Orange slices In large bowl or pitcher, mix cranberry' juice, cider and lemonade. Add sugar to taste and stir until well blended. Add ice cubes and orange slices to serve. Makes about 9 cups. And how about a special game — Pin the Stem on the Jack-O-Lantem? It’s easy. Just make a great pumpkin out of orange colored paper or posterboard. Cut enough green stems for each participant to have one. The youngsters will enjoy this blindfold caper. (Don’t forget the prizes). If you allow your children to participate in the neighborhood trick or-treat happening, you might want to keep the following safety tips in mind: • Stay in your own neighborhood and visit the homes of friends. • If you can take the younger children out, all the better. Otherwise, ask a responsible older brother, sister or friend to accompany them. • Make sure youngsters dress in light-colored clothing, ideally in nonflammable attire. Strips of reflective material (such as that used to mark bicycles) on shoes, hats and the fronts and backs of shirts or jackets make them easily seen by motorists. • Dress your youngsters in masks which do not block their vision. • Arm the older goblins with flashlights.' • Impress upon children to accept only those treats that are wrapped and not to eat anything until it is in USDA Choice Beef Family Pack CUBE STEAK Prices in this ad good thru Sunday, October 30, 1988.

School PTA begins fund drive BY DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “You make the difference this time!" said Maggie Rogers. RCES PTA Ways and Means Chairman. She was referring to the “Safety First" fund-raiser for the bus communication system. The fund-raiser’s purpose is to provide radios for buses which are still without. Radios provide immediate emergency contact en route in times of breakdown, snow, flood or accidents. They can also be used to relay field trip delays and parent-tostudent emergency messages. Last year the PTA earned $3,295 toward purchasing radios. A total of $7,000 is still needed, however, the fund-raising monies alone are not responsible for meeting the entire amount. Presently, 10 buses have radios. The system has already proven itself a safety asset last year. Twelve buses are still in need of radios. Bus safety affects everyone, even those who have no children in school. Safety on the rural roads is a community obligation and donating in a small or large way is part of that obligation, Mrs. Rogers said. Equipping school buses with radios provides a community benefit as well. For example, persons stranded or injured on county bus routes that need immediate care or vehicle assistance can have messages dispatched by the bus drivers. The community and schools can help each other. The PTA is offering a cash award of $25, $15, and $10 to those three most energetic children who raise the largest amount of money. Some RCES students have put forth a great effort to raise money for this worthy cause, however, parent support is badly needed. Anyone interested in contributing should contact the elementary school at 987-8259. Deborah Flinchum is the community relations coordinator for the county's public schools. She is a former contributer of education-related news and features to the Rappahannock News. Rock-a-thon Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan ALTHOUGH THEIR FUND-RAISER was forced inside by torrential rains, the RCHS Band rocked — and rocked in — the Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall on Saturday.

School Board members get an education BY DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Contributing Writer - Are Rappahannock County School Board members getting an education at each school board meeting? Yes, in fact school boards all over Virginia are receiving an inservice at every monthly meeting, according to Superintendent David Gangel. The Standards of Quality For Public Schools in Virginia states that “each local school board shall require its members to participate in inservice programs on personnel, curriculum and current issues in education as part of their service on the local board.” “This is new as far as requiring school boards to participate in inservices,” said Superintendent Gangel, noting that previously such training was an option for each locality. In the past year topics of interest have been presented by people ranging from the superintendent and assistant superintendent to principals, vice principals, teachers, counselors and students. The board has also seen videotapes of programs and issues of concern to Rappahannock County schools and they have taken tours of new facilities at RCHS and the elementary school. In-service activities may also include seminars developed cooperatively by the Department of Education and the Virginia School Boards Association, attending regional, state and national conferences and conventions, workshops, retreats, guest speakers and participating in trial bus routes. ^ 'Jwporttd Xt Ernie JoocCl « Jrtih.

Since August 1987, Dr. Gangel said, the Rappahanncok Board members have become more knowledgeable about the following topics because of the in-service session: State Accrediation Standards, gifted/talented program, special education, RCHS athletic program, personnel process, SAT preparation program, staff development research, new state testing program, state’s family life curriculum, the six-year plan, teacher certification, RCES computer lab, remedial education and AIDS. As Louis L’ Amour once wrote, “Knowledge was meant to be shared.” The knowledge that is shared through these in-services has proven to be very informative and has provided the members with a better understanding of the schools and their operations. Schools need volunteers BY APRIL HEDDLESTON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Studies document that volunteer programs which provide one-on-one attention to students are integral to their improvement in the regular classroom. Reading and mathematics are two of the most important skills our students will need to be successful, mature, productive members of society. The Rappahannock County Schools are beginning a remedial education volunteer tutoring program to aid in these two areas. Parents, retired persons, and other community members can be invaluable resources in pur quest to give students needing remedial help the personal attention and direction they need to advance in their education. This year the State of Virginia has mandated remedial education for all students who scored in the bottom quartile (1-25 National Percentile) on the state tests that determine reading and math skills. In order to aid and augment the reading and math labs now in place at the elementary and high school, Dr. David M. Gangel has applied for and received a state grant to implement the volunteer tutor program. Materials will be purchased and a volunteer coordinator will train and assist volunteers with the remediation program. All members of this community are asked to consider if they could contribute time to this worthwhile project. Our very vital retired population can be providers of the effective one-to-one instruction that has been proven to help even the least capable students. They can bring their life-time of skills to better our schools and help a child feel competent. Mothers, or other persons who have even very limited time can contribute in a special and long-lasting way to these students. Research has shown that if students consider school an impersonal, unfriendly place, no amount of improvement in educational curricula f can change their minds. But volunteers can transform the student’s perception of a school, creating for them a place where people care and work closely with students to help them improve. For more information or to volunteer your services, please contact April Heddleston at the Rappahannock School Board Office at 987-8773 or leave your name and number with Jeanie Dwyer at that number.

Sports and Outdoor Life Girls basketball record gets a boost In the euphemisms of sports, it’s been a building year for the girls’ basketball program at Rappahannock County High School. Going into the last weeks of the season, the Panthers boasted only one win on the year, and languished in the basement of the Bull Run District. But Coach Renee Dingus refused to give up. She kindled a fire in her young charges w hieh produced three straight victories against Warren County, Brentsville and Stonewall Jackson. In two of those games, against Brentsville and Stonewall Jackson, Rappahannock tallied more than 60 points. Four different players ended up with scoring totals in double figures. Earlier in the season. Coach Dingus had attributed the team's problems not to lack of scoring ability, but rather to just being outpointed by the opposition. After weeks of disappointment, the team finally hit its stride. Coach Dingus said. O-T win against Warren The victory Oct. 17 against Warren County boosted the Panther spirits as it also boosted the team's record above the Wildcats, who fell to 2-14. It was not without its moments, however, as Rappahannock required a three-minute overtime period to salvage the 43-40 victory. The game was close during the first period, with the score tied at 10 at the buzzer. Rappahannock pulled ahead in the second quarter and went to the break with a 23-19 lead. The Panthers lost their game, however, in the third quarter, and allowed Warren to pull ahead, aided by seven turnovers. Rappahannock tied the score twice but both times the Wildcats quickly upped the score, and at the end of the quarter they led 32-27. Although the Wildcats controlled the game as the clock wound down, Jackie Settle and Stephanie Jones Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan OUTRACING A BRENTSVILLE DEFENDER, the Panthers’ Edna Shanks cuts for the basket during Junior Varsity action against Brentsville last week.

Children with chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy can get free medicine and medical care, referred through the Rappahannock Health Department to that same hospital. The Health Department’s Well Child Clinics offer developmental screening and free immunizations. There’s WIC which provides pregnant women, infants and children up to five years with vouchers that may be redeemed for milk, formula, cheese, fruit juices and other nutritious foods. At family planning clinics, the public health nurse and the visiting doctor dispense birth control information and birth control devices. “If patients choose to be confidential, we honor that, no matter their age,” the nurse noted. “We encourage abstinence, but we are realistic.” And young women who have waited too long to learn about birth control can also get assistance from the Health Department. “If they’re pregnant, there’s so much support we can give them,” Marion noted. The support includes, but is not limited to, referral to an adoption agency and help in keeping the child, if the mother-to-be chooses that option. The Health Department has a chronic illness program aimed at those who do not qualify for Medicare Home Health but need help if they are to stay in their homes. “I follow older people who might otherwise fall through the cracks,” Marion said, explaining that she makes home visits to teach a family how to change a dressing or to give insulin injections to a newly-diagnosed diabteic, for example. Also available through the Health Department are pregnancy tests, TB tests, confidential AIDS screening as well as screening and treatment for other sexually-transmitted diseases, blood pressure checks and flu immunizations. “A lot of the services are free to everyone,” Manon noted, “and everything else is on a sliding scale, from full fee to nothing, depending upon income.” And with all the services and programs comes counseling. “That’s the most important part of my job_ teaching,” Marion said, adding that the public health nurse’s primary goal is prevention. “We have all this free literature,” she said, waving her arm to indicate the racks and racks of folders that line the walls of her office in the Clopton House. “We have information on practically everything! And if we miss something here, we have access to all the state agencies so we can get the answer.” She wants the people of Rappahannock to feel comfortable about using the Health Department’s services. Office manager Charlotte Freeman is another Rappahannock native, “and she has a wonderful rapport with our clients,” Marion said. “Charlotte knows all the children. In fact, most everybody who comes in here, we know. Either we went to school with their brother, or we recognize them from church. “And if someone’s homebound and wants a flu shot or some other service, please let me know,” the public health nurse continued. “I really love home visits. That’s my favorite part of the job. ‘Everybody should feel real welcome up here,” Marion concluded. “And if we can’t help them, we can usually find someone who can.” More than just cows BY TOMMY WILLIAMS Extension Agent, Agriculture Here are little thumbnail sketches on some of the beef breeds which are most popular in this country: Angus: A British breed originating in Scotland.

Most people who catch the flu come down with an annoying week-long cough, running nose, and body aches. However, each year many people become quite ill with the flu. A vaccine had been developed to protect you from the most common of the flus. There are dozens of viruses that can cause the “flu,” This year’s flu shot contains the strains A/Tawian 1/86, A/Sichuan, and B/Victoria 2/87 to provide immunity against the types of flu which have been in circulation in the past year and are thought to be most likely to occur in the United States this winter. People who should strongly consider receiving this shot are people who: have a chronic heart or lung ill toocr n, ivoo ■ i ness that needs medical attention, kidney diseases, cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, or severe asthma. In addition, children age five months to 18 years of age who are on long term treatment with aspirin are at risk. Others to consider the flu who are anyone over age 65 years of age or older, medical care givers (doctors, nurses, aides), residents of nursing or adult homes and those who work with the public such as school teachers. If you would like to receive this vaccine or find out more information please contact your doctor, or the Rappahannock County Health Department by calling 675-3516 or 6753055. The health department charges a 85.50 fee. If you have Medicaid and bring your card, there will be no charge. The vaccine will be given Wednesday Nov. 16, 1 p.m.-4:30 p.m., or call the health department for an appointment. Mrs. Facchina is Rappahannock County’s public health nurse. Bowen Continued from page 3 to 23 families receving aid to dependent children and 10 adults receiving companion, protective, or other services.) “So we need to work on finding more foster homes in this county,” she said, adding that Rappahannock children are now being placed in homes in neighboring counties. As for the strengths she sees in Rappahannock's Department of Social Services, Mrs. Bowen said, “this is a wonderful agency! There’s a warmth, a one-on-one caring about people." Larger welfare agencies can't help but have an impersonal air, she said. "But here, the environment is warm and caring. People are known as individuals and treated as individuals rather than as cases. The staff here puts out a real team effort to try to help people in need,” Mrs. Bowen concluded. “They do a good and competent job.” Sports Continued from page 14 ence in the overtime period, contributing one basket each, while the Wildcats could manage only one free throw. That left the score at 43-40. Brentsville fella, 61-42 Despite an outstanding performance by Brentsville’s Kelly Murphy, the Panthers’ Donna Foster led her team past the Tigers on Oct. 18 by a score of 61-42. Murphy led the scoring with 33 points, but a team effort by Rappahannock, highlighted by Foster’s 21 points, made the difference in the outcome. Playing in front of a fired-up home team in their new gym, the Panthers fired off six points in the first quarter before the visitors got anything through the hoop. Despite Murphy’s single-handed effort, which produced all 10 of Brentsville’s first-quarter points, Rappahannock led at the quarter, 12-10. In the second quarter Rappahannock continued the attack and also stopped Murphy’s hot shot, opening up a halftime lead of 28-13. However, in the third period Murphy got open again, scoring 16 in the stanza, followed by another six in the final quarter. Meanwhile, Foster was kept busy trying to offset Murphy’s eye, contributing 11 points in the third period. Joining Foster in double figures for the Panthers were Jackie Settle with 10 and Susie Dearing with 14. Dearing tallied 10 of those points in the fourth period. “She’s terrific,” Coach Dingus said of the junior guard. She had praise for the entire team, noting that the game represented the first outing of the year when the team had played together. Generals hit stone wall The Panthers made it three in a row on Oct. 20, nailing the Stonewall Jackson Generals for a 62-47 defeat. It marked the second time in as many games that Rappahannock topped the 60-point figure. Four Panthers broke into double figures, led by Stephanie Jones and Jackie Settle with 18 points each. They were also hot from the line; each sank eight of nine free throw opportunities. Susie Dearing contributed an other 16 points, including a 70 percent average in 10 trips to the free throw line. Donna Foster added 10 points. Anna Hudson rounded out the scoring with one free throw. Jones was the defensive leader with 15 rebounds. Rappahannock and Stonewall fought for the lead throughout the first half, but the Panthers held a commanding edge at halftime, 29-22. In the third quarter the two teams traded wide-open offenses again and the Panthers proved the sharpshooters, hitting 12 of 15 attempts while the Generals added points on just six of 13 scoring opportunities. That difference opened Rappahannock's lead to 51-34 as the fourth quarter began. The final frame proved only that the Panthers lead was insurmountable, and the buzzer saw the final score at 62-47. Harriers head to districts The Rappahannock cross-country team competed in the Bull Run District meet on Oct. 26. Results were not available at press time. Coach Scott Mellott said he hoped that the team would finish as good as third, although a fourth place would be enough to ensure a berth to the regional meet in Charlottesville on Nov. 2. Coach Mellott had praise for his team, which went to the tournament with a season record of 9-6. The Panthers lost their last outing of the season last week, a tri-meet against Stonewall Jackson and George Mason. Coach Mellott said, “It’s been a very good season, especially considering the young team.” The top four runners on the team are either freshmen or sophmores “who have gained a lot of experience and confidence.” With Matt Eidson, Steve Lillard, Vincent Grigsby and Jesse Reynolds all returning, “We are looking at at least two years of running as a very strong program at Rappahannock.” Those four, Mr. Mellott added, are the four guys to look for in the coming season “and in the local 10K races.” He called the team “a very balanced attack,” noting that every member of the team had placed in the meets at least once. Although Rappahannock did not field a girls’ cross-country team this season, Coach Mellott said he would like to organize one before next season. He urged any students interested in running, both boys and girls, to contact him at the high school. Farmers may get drought aid “This year's drought poses a serious threat to farmers in Virginia. Farmers in 21 counties in the Commonwealth of Virginia qualify for loan assistance for crop damages and losses due to the drought," Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. announced from his Washington, D.C. office. “After careful review of crop damage reports, the Department of Agriculture has declared 21 counties as natural disaster areas where eligible family farmers may qualify for Farmers Home Administration loan assistance,” Mr. Slaughter said. Rep. Slaughter was notified that in the Seventh District, Page and Goochland Counties have been declared natural disaster areas. In additon, Slaughter noted that seven other counties in the Seventh District were named contiguous counties where eligible family farmers may qualify for emergency loan assistance. These contiguous counties are Rappahannock, Fauquier, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Spotsylvania and Warren. ‘'President Reagan recently signed the Disaster Assistance Act of 1968, which authorises the Farmers Home Administration to make emergency loans to eligible farmers under certain conditions,” said Mr. Slaughter. “Farmers who believe they qualify for such assistance should contact the Rappahannock County Agricultural Conservation and Stabilisation Service (ASCS) agent or one of the Congressional district offices for additonal information.” That raking saves money When the leaves begin to fall, keep your temper. Keep in mind that the trees which are dropping leaves in the yard are also saving you money. National Wildlife reports that trees may cut cooling costs by as much as 60 percent, or more, by shading a house.

Library Continued from page 1 the old church is abandoned, have plans been made for its subsequent use so that it doesn’t fall into disrepair? The Library Board of Trustees first had architectural plans drawn for enlarging the present building in 1963, and in 1985 such a proposal was turned down by the county, Grace Sims responded. The cost of additional land in the town of Washington is prohibitive, she said. “We looked everywhere and we tried everything, so when we were offered two acres just outside of town, we were overjoyed to accept,” the trustee and former librarian told the planners. “It isn’t perfect, but it’s a wonderful spot.” “I know what Phil is saying is in good will,” said trustee Mary Jamieson, acknowledging the support Mr. Irwin has given the library over the years. But his suggestions have already been investigated and found to be unworkable, she said, explaining that the building’s foundation will not hold the weight of an upstairs retrofitting. In addition, she noted, sending children and other library users upstairs could prove a problem. As for expanding into the rear yard, Mrs. Jamieson reported that the trustees have had numerous conferences with Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, owners of the adjacent lot, but were unable to get their agreement to a waiver of the town’s six-foot rear setback regulation to allow the building to extend to the property line. And expanding to the side is blocked by the septic field next door, she added. In addition, Mrs. Jamieson noted that any enlargement of the current building would pose problems in providing parking space. The site offered by Mr. Morehouse is within walking and bicycling distance of town; it is easily accessible and highly visible, but off the main highway, Mrs. Jamieson pointed out. “When we go out to get money, this is what the foundations are looking for — a dominant location.” The board considered a site near the Child Care and Learning Center Emporium Continued from page 1 “It won’t hurt business in Sperryville,” he says with characteristic understatement. “It will help the whole county. If we can get them out to the county, they will find the other stores. Getting them to stop, that’s the secret.” And for the Emporium, the coverage has been a boon. “It’s free advertising — and that’s the best kind you can buy,” Mr. O’Bannon said, that mischevious grin once again spreading across his face. (in an area which the county has designated for future commercial growth), but owner Gibson Whorton wanted an “exhorbitant amount, and it’s not as good a location,” Mrs. Jamieson said. “Others offered us less land for $60,000 to $80,000,” but the library board didn’t want to be buying property for ‘the most anyone’s ever paid in Rappahannock County for acreage,” she added. As to what will happen to the old church, “the building belongs to the Library Board of Trustees,” noted county administrator John McCarthy. “What they do with it is up to them.” “There are some good ideas afoot,” Mrs. Jamieson assured Mr. Irwin. “We’ve had offers that would keep it the way it is,” Mrs. Sims added. “But we do need to sell it. We need the money [for the new building].” “Make no mistake: with property and existing buildings in town at a premium, clearly the Board of Supervisors is concerned [with what happens to the current library],” Mr. McCarthy added. “I don’t think it’s the job of this commission to determine what they’re going to do with the building. We can’t dictate to them. . .Our job is to approve or disapprove this proposed library site," said Commissioner Bob Anderson. Wrong but already accomplished “I think it’s absolutely wrong <to place a library in an agricultural zone,” maintained commissioner Werner Krebser. But he described the special exception application as “water over the dam,” since the Board of Supervisors has already signaled its approval by adding libraries as a permitted use in agricultural zones. To the argument that post offices are permitted there so why not libraries, Dr. Krebser said it would have been better from a land-use planning standpoint to rezone the post office lots. “Government buildings and quasi-government buildings don’t belong in agricultural zones; they belong in town.” He added that the Library Board “worked in a vacuum” trying to find a location for a new building. “They never discussed anything with me about a piece of ground,” said Dr. Krebser, who owns considerable property in the Town of Washington. “There were lots of possibilities. I’m sure of it. . .There’s a saying that you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but I think you ought to be looking at this gift horse a little bit,” he cautioned, suggesting that approval for the division of the two acres to be donated for the library should be couched in terms which preclude use as a building lot should construction fail to begin in two years. “This division couldn’t even happen if the land weres going to be used for a dwelling unit. There is some ambiguity [in the transaction as currently proposed],” agreed Mr. McCarthy. Mr. Irwin maintained that locating the library on this agriculturallyzoned property so far from the center of the county’s designated area Mon-Sat: 10-6 Friday: 10-8 Sunday: 11-4 GOLD PLUS ;: 'Better gifts for ; j better people" 216 EAST PICCADILLY STREET WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA 22601 I; 703-667-GOLD • 14 KT GOLD AT S17 GRAM • STERLING SILVER • PRECIOUS MOMENTS • M.I.

Stonewall Industrial Park 1550 Lenoir Drive Winchester, Va. 22601 COLLECT (703)662-5030 for commercial growth would in essence constitute “spot zoning” and “set a very dangerous precedent.” Automatically, once the library is built, “the strip of land (along the access road) will be forever dedicated to growth and development,” he added. Library is not commercial use “We believe the library is unique. It’s not commercial,” countered Mrs. Sims. “I don’t see why it’s not treated more like a church, which would be allowed anywhere.” “I don’t view this [location] as being so vastly separate from town,” added Mr. McCarthy, noting the site is only about three-quarters of a mile from Washington’s center. “I don’t view it as stimulating growth, either.” ‘Well, I think everybody’s right!” announced Mike Massie, the Board of Supervisors’ delegate to the Planning Commission. “But to me, the overriding thing is the work that’s been done by the library board. If there was a better spot, I believe they would have found it.” To the Hampton District representative’s concerns about the fate of the stone wall, Mrs. Jamieson said the board has no plans for its removal. ‘We want to keep it. There’s no reason not to keep it.” But the loafing shed on the rock outcropping will, in all likelihood, be removed, she said, adding that it would block the view of the new library. The commissioners conditioned their recommendation for approval of the proposed location on (1) the merger of the strip of land at the rear of the proposed library lot, and (2) later approval of a plat which will show the technical details of the site development. In addition, Mr. McCarthy noted that authorization for the land division will come concurrent with issuance of the building permit for the building itself so as to preclude any possibility of the two acres being used for a residental lot. Thanking the commissioners for their recommendation for approval of the special exception permit, Mrs. Jamieson concluded: “We want this to be a model for a rural library. . .We’re hoping to make it the best little library in Virginia!” In the only other action at last Wednesday’s meeting, the commissioners recommended that the Board of Zoning Appeals grant a special use permit to Rob Brown for a three-unit apartment in Sperryville. Mr. Brown had initially proposed a six-unit building on a 0.3 acre lot on Sperryville’s Main Street, but the BZA found this violated the county zoning ordinance which allows multi-family housing at a density of 10 units per acre in village commercial zones. The county administrator reported that he has begun drafting revisions to the county’s comprehensive plan and should have the document completed for the Planning Commission’s consideration within three months. Lambert will speak on Shenandoah Park BY MRS. DALE METZINGER Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer The Rappahannock Historical Society will meet at 3 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 6 at the Rappahannock County Court House. We are most fortunate to have a presentation by Darwin Lambert, titled “The Human Story of the Shenandoah National Park.” Mr. Lambert will bring us glimpses of the park’s history, including Indians, early whites, mountain people and the park establishment. An avid historian and author, Mr. Lambert is looking forward to meeting and exchanging information with those interested in our Shenandoah heritage. Darwin Lambert came to the Blue Ridge in 1935 at age 18. He published and sold the first guidebook to the park. He has been editor of Shenandoah Nature Journal and The Commonwealth Review, a weekly newspaper published in Luray in the 1940s. After a busy career overseas and in other states, he and his wife Eileen returned to their longtime home in the Blue Ridge east of Luray in 1964, where they live year-round. Both are freelance writers. The historical society invites the community to participate in this chance to meet and talk with this gentleman. There will be no admission charge for the program. Mrs. Metzinger is the vice-president of the Rappahannock County Historical Society. Pec Authority meets Npy* 3 The Rappahannock County Recreation Authority will hold its next meeting on Thursday, Nov. 3, at 4:30 p.m., at the courthouse. According to County Administrator John McCarthy, the purpose of the meeting is to begin planning next year’s Fodderstack 10-K road race. Any residents wishing to assist with organizing the race, which is run as a fundraiser for the authority, are urged to attend the meeting. Those unable to attend may contact a member of the authority’s board with their suggestions.

The festivities will begin on Friday evening with a bonfire and pep rally at the high school from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. All students, parents and Panther supporters are invited to attend and help raise the spirits of the home team. The home team will need lots of spirit on Saturday as well when the Panthers soccer team faces undefeated Wakefield School at 2 p.m. The Panthers dropped a close game, 2-1, to the Owls at Wakefield’s homecoming several weeks ago. On Saturday night, there will be a Homecoming dance at the high school from 8-11 p.m. Baseball team seeks winter practice space With the completion of the new gymnasium, the Rappahannock County High School baseball team found itself without winter quarters, Coach Gary Leake said this week. Left out in the cold, the team is looking for a new winter home. In previous years, Coach Leake said, the team has practiced several days a week in the high school gym. There, the team’s batting cage and pitching machine were set up to allow pitchers and fielders to keep their offensive and defensive skills in shape over the winter. But now, the new gym has been declared off-limits to the baseball team. So, Coach Leake said, he is asking for the donation of a barn, warehouse or other large space for the team to practice in this winter. It’s the kind of situation, the coach said, which small schools are too often faced with. Larger school districts can afford space for their teams to practice in the off-season, but RCHS doesn’t have the room, hp said. “Basically, we’re looking for a large enclosed area,” Coach Leake said. “If someone has such a building which we could use two or three days a week for two or three hours at a time, we would provide labor to clean it up in return for the use. ” Ideally, he said, it would be large enough for the batting cage and pitching machine to be set up. That would allow pitching and batting practice, and infielders could also practice with grounders off the floor. Coach Leake asked anyone who might have such a space available to contact him at Rappahannock County High School (987-8575). He said he will be happy to provide more information about the team’s requirements for space, as well as clean-up. Lynn Field dedicated Pamela Lynn, acting headmistress of Wakefield School in Huntly, dedicated the school’s athletic field to the memory of her husband, William E. Lynn Jr., at the start of Wakefield’s Homecoming soccer game against Rappahannock County High School. The field, completed in 1984 to give Wakefield a college-size competition field, was a special project in Dr. Lynn’s encouragement of sports at Wakefield. It complements the gym, which was completed the following year. ■ Another memorial to Dr. Lynn established at the school in recent months is the William E. - Lynn Scholarship Fund, which will help make a Wakefield edu- * cation available to more area students; more than $17,000 has been donated to date. One hun- - dred sixty dollars of this was given by the school’s fifth and sixth graders, who raised this J sum selling candy at Homecom- " ing; they presented it to Mrs. • Lynn at Wakefield’s weekly as- * sembly. 1 Call ntft fcappafjannocfe flttoz at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos.
