Food contract offer declined By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer David Godwin, owner of the Village Cafe, has written a letter to the county’s Board of Supervisors expressing interest in negotiating a year-long contract to provide food for the county jail’s inmates. But according to County Administrator John McCarthy, the board is satisfied with the service now being provided by Hampton Inn proprietor William Frizzell, and is rtot interested in breaking that contract. Mr. Godwin was first approached by Mr. McCarthy some weeks ago, while the county was appealing the denial of its application for a jail addition by Washington’s Architectural Review Board. At that time, Mr. McCarthy said, the county was concerned that several complaints from inmates about the food might cause Mr. Frizzell to exercise his 30-day notice of termination of the contract. “I quite frankly had a fear that he might terminate the contract, that he might be so offended by the complaints —which I found unjustified — but that he might cancel.” And, he added, Mr. rnzzell had explicitly told the board that he was not interested in supplying meals for the jail indefinitely. When the year-long contract, which he inherited from Mildred Cebula, the Hampton Inn’s previous owner, was renegotiated in March, Mr. Frizzell added a clause to provide for termination with 30 days notice. He agreed, Mr. McCarthy explained, to continue the food service for the jail provided that the county work toward building a kitchen. If the county decided not to build a kitchen, or the project was delayed indefinitely, Mr. Frizzell told the board at that time, he planned to cancel his contract. That, the county administrator said, would leave the county without a source for meals for the jail’s inmates, which would force the jail to close. So, with those concerns in mind Mr. McCarthy approached Mr. Godwin and asked if he would be interested in taking over the jail food service if Mr. Frizzell exercised his option to cancel. Just after the Town Council approved the county’s appeal of the ARB’s decision on July 12, clearing the way for the jail addition to be built, rumors reached the Rappahannock News that Mr. McCarthy had misrepresented the facts in his presentation to the Town Council on behalf of the county during the hearing of its appeal. See FOOD, p. 18 r Rappahannock News photo Lou Hauer REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES Joe Benedetti (left) and Marshall Coleman listen during the rally in Washington last Saturday. Wilder's record hammered Coleman takes tough, stance on drugs, crime By MARY K. BLEWITT and LOU HATTER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writers Republicans J. Marshall Coleman and Sen. Joseph B. Benedetti, candidates for Virginia governor and attorney general respectively, made it clear that illegal drugs and crime continue to be the focal point of their campaigns at an appearance in Rappahannock County on Saturday. About three dozen Republican sympathizers attended the rally at the Washington fire hall, despite searing near-100 degree heat which kept most county residents near their fans and air conditioners. Joined by Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., Virginia House Minority Leader Raymond R. “Andy” Guest (31st District), and State Senator Kevin G. Miller (26th District), the candidates attempted to persuade their audience that the Democratic statewide ticket was the ticket in the wrong. They didn’t have a difficult task. Using rhetoric which at times was as hot as the temperature out side, Coleman derided Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, his Democratic opponent for governor. “We have a man who is running for governor of Virginia who has not done a single thing during his term in office — not one thing in four years — to undertake a real war or an all out assault on the war on drugs and narcotics." Outlining his extensive program to fight drugs in the Commonwealth, Coleman said as governor he would support, using drug forfeitures to See RALLY, p. 18 Cool nights, wet weeks break weather records By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer We may remember the winter of 1989 for its unusually warm days or this year’s spring for its unusual weather patterns; but the summer of 1989 will be remembered for its unusually wet conditions. “It is a very unusual year,” said Dr. Patrick Michaels, the state climatologist from his office at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He explained that instead of getting drenched by our usual thunderstorms in June and July we, “had a lot of rain fall from low pressure systems,” which are more common in winter months. “Wednesday mornings temperature — 49 degrees — could be equated with, an August morning in Nova Scotia.” — Dennis Wingfield Sperryville weather-watcher And what a lot of rain we’ve had. Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield recorded 5.15 inches for June, 8.42 inches in July and already .45 inches for August. “This could be the all-time record amount of rainfall for the summer months,” Dr. Michaels added, saying a complete tally is not available from all areas of the state, so statistics are not exact. “And our records go back to the early 1900’s.” Not only are rainfall percentages setting all-time records, daytime and nightime temperatures are making themselves known. Dr. Michaels said that on Monday night, an estimated 100 areas probably set records for all-time low temperatures. “Tuesday night probably proved the same thing," he added. Mr. Wingfield echoed Dr. Michael’s report, stating Monday night’s low temperature—checked between 5 and 6:30 a.m. Tuesday— only pushed the merSee RAIN, p. 14 Plans for dog pound advance By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Although it wasn’t on the agenda, the location of a future county dog pound was the main bone of contention at Monday’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham brought the matter up by asking when the Landfill Advisory Committee would next meet. “Harold Artz,(the landfill operator) requested I bring it up,” he said. “The issue is that we still don’t have a building there.” Col. Bingham said that Mr. Artz has to run his truck motor constantly to have air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter. “We can’t spend the money until we get the tax bills out and start getting money in,” Stonewall Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson said. He noted that parts of the building to be put there are being stored by Eldon Farm. Four outside walls with wiring already built in were constructed two years ago by students from Piedmont Technical Education Center. That building is to contain the landfill operator’s office and the dog pound and has been in storage waiting for the time when the county could erect the building at the landfill site. County Administrator John McCarthy said he could explore the possibility of temporarily renting a construction trailer for Mr. Artz’s office. “He needs a place to sit down, a desk and a place for files,” he said. “The building we are planning is bigger than that; it’s also a dog pound.” “Have we definitely decided the kennel is going there?” Col. Bingham asked. He suggested that the Scrabble dumpster site with the old school would be a better place for a pound. “If we put the kennel there, we’ve got a building there, and he could do double duty and keep an eye on the dumpster.” He said that the Scrabble dumpster site was a mess and might otherwise have to be closed. “Why does Jackson District have to be the catch-all for the county?” Piedmont District Supervisor Charles K. “Pete” Estes said, “The people of Stonewall-Hawthorn District have been the catch-all with the landfill in their district for 12 years. It was the consensus to put the dog pound where the landfill is.” “That decision has been made,” Mr. McCarthy said. He said with the dog pound at the landfill site Mr. Artz could help run the pound. “We’ve got a dog warden,” Col. Bingham shot back. “There’s not one jurisdiction in the state where the dog warden also runs the animal shelter,” Mr. McCarthy said. “How much gas do we pay Mr. Artz to sit in his truck and run the heater?” Hampton District representative Mike Massie asked. “We could go ahead and borrow the money. It might be cheaper,” he added. “They rent for very little,” Col. Bingham said, referring to construction trailers. ‘We’re going to build it this year anyway,” Mr. Massie said. Mr. McCarthy said he would explore the cost of various options. The supervisors authorized County Treasurer Frances Foster to borrow up to $250,000 to keep the county running. She had not had to borrow money earlier because she has used money left in last year’s school budget and set aside to meet July and August school payrolls, Mr. McCarthy said. However, that money will have to be turned back to that account before the end of August, he explained. “I call that robbing Peter to pay Paul,” Mr. Anderson said. “That’s what it is, but we haven’t had to pay interest,” Mrs. Foster agreed. “I wish you wouldn’t call it that,” Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke commented. The supervisors also voted to advertise the list of those taxpayers who haven’t paid their 1988 taxes as of the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Mrs. Foster noted that the list showed $55,000 in unpaid taxes including penalties. She explained that some of those people have since paid the taxes, but that the list would have to be as of June 30. She said she had notified these landownSee POUND, p. 18 Assistant principal's hands full at RCHS By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Auer mree weeks on the job as assistant principal and athletic director at Rappahannock County High School, David Smith feels like he’s been “scrambling to catch up.” After spending his first few days changing all the combinations on the hall takers and repairing roken locks, Mr. Smith said, “John (principal John Toth) has been working hard getting me oriented to Rappahannock High School and the athletic de DAVID SMITH panmem,. 1 ve aimea at getting tne atnietic program ready for the school year.” Mr. Smith explained that one of the chores he has been involved with is making sure contracts are signed with organizations that supply officials for all sports. With practice for fall sports starting this week and next, there hasn’t been much time for on-the-job training. One job he inherited when he took the position was trying to find a solution to the problems at the high school track. For the past two years Rappahannock hasn’t been able to host track meets. In the spring of 1988 that was expected because of the construction of the high school addition. Large trailers were parked behind the school, and a trip to the track involved scrambling over building materials, but the track was supposed to be ready for the 1989 season. See SMITH, p. 18

m ■"1 v vm*From Across The State ■imm Hoover's retreat open Aug. 12 and 13 Superintendent J.W. Wade of Shenandoah National Park announced that Camp Hoover, the weekend retreat of President Herbert Hoover will be open to the public Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 12 and 13. The camp is located on the Rapidan River on the east side of the Park, four miles from Big Meadows. The buildings, which are normally reserved as VIP guest cabins, will be open for public tours, and free bus transportation will be provided to the Camp. This program is scheduled for the weekend closest to the former Presidnt’s Aug. 10 birthday and is an annual event at Shenandoah National Park. Interpretive tours of the two main buildings will be offered both days, and transportation will be provided from the Harry F. Byrd Visitor Center-, at Milepost 51 on the Skyline Drive, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A sandwich concession will be available at the Camp. Specially scheduled guided hikes will leave from the Visitor Center each day at 9:30 a.m. Participants are encouraged to wear proper footgear for a 3-mile hike and to be prepared for rain. All of the regularly scheduled daytime activities at Byrd Visitor Center will be cancelled for those days. The area was selected by Mr. .Hoover shortly after his election in 1928. He was looking for a site near Washington, D.C., with good fishing and no mosquitoes. After selection of the perfect place in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Mr. Hoover purchased the land and building materials, and the U.S. Marine Corps constructed the Camp. Rappahannock News file photo THE CABIN USED BY President Herbert Hoover is one of three which remains at Hoover’s Camp in Shenandoah National Park. The cabins, which are usually reserved for VIP government visitors, are open to the public this weekend. From 1929 at 1933, the President used the camp as a “Weekend White House,” often inviting government officials and foreign dignitaries to enjoy the rustic beauty of the area. The First Lady, Lou Henry Hoover, presided over a “summer camp” atmosphere that was maintained at “Camp Rapidan.” It was here that President Hoover and Great Britain’s Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald held naval arms negotiations in 1929. Upon leaving office, the President donated the land and its 13 rustic cabins to become part of the newly created Shenandoah National Park. His deed of trust required that the area continue to be used as a retreat for high government officials. Today Camp Hoover is a special part of Shenandoah National Park, rich in scenic beauty and human history. Three of the original buildings have been preserved and restored.

Fauquier is site of fall wine festivals The grapes are ripening on vines all over Fauquier County, and the upcoming harvest is once again accompanied by a slew of wine tours, festivals and “summer brunches.” The two biggest festivals in the county are held a week apart this month: the Middleburg Wine Festival Aug. 19 at Piedmont Vineyard; and the 14th Annual Wine Festival, to be held Aug. 26 at Swedenburg Estate Vineyard in Middleburg. This Sunday, before either of the .large festivals, Meredyth Vineyards near Middleburg is hosting a Summer Brunch. The brunch lasts from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; call (703) 687-6277 for details. The Wine Festival at Swedenburg also includes the 5th Annual Virginia Wine Auction to pay for renovations to the Aldie Mill. The Vinifera Wine Growers Association, based in The Plains, has already raised $14,000 toward the restoration. The Middleburg Wine Festival, at Piedmont Vineyard, is scheduled for 10 a.m.-5 p.m., rain or shine. Five vineyards are taking part in the Aug. 19 festival. The cost of admission — $7.50 in advance and $9 the day of the festival — will include a tour, wine tasting, arts and crafts, Dixieland music, and a grape stoming competition. There’s also a jousting tournament, antique automobiles and Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR FOR-SALE SIGN CONFUSION Some buyers wrongly assume that homes with a “For Sale” sign in front of them are the ONLY houses on the market. The truth is, many homes—new litings, soon-to-be listings, or exclusive listings—never get a For Sale sign in their yard. Many buyers don’t realize that they may never see these homes unless they contacttheir Realtor first. Another misconception is that a For Sale sign in front of a home with one Realtor’s name on it automatically eliminates the showing or sale of this home by other Realtors. Firsttime buyers, especially, are not aware that one Realtor can provide them with information on homes listed by another Realtor using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), or for that matter, nearly any other home listed on the market. Just to clear up this For Sale sign confusion once and for all, as a member of the MLS , our agency can show you or sell any home that s listed on the MLS market regardless of whose “For Sale’’ sign is in the front lawn.

Then, the following week, the Wine Auction and Festival at the Swedenburgs’ historic Valley View Farm on U.S. 50, one mile east of Middleburg, features an honorary celebrity auctioneer: Delaplane’s famous Willard Scott. Some of the events are serious, such as the competition for the Jefferson Wine Trophy, but others aren’t — the barrel-rolling races, cork-throwing contest and waiters’ races, for example. The Vinifera Wine Growers, which sponsors the event in the Middleburg area each year, has signed up 20 vineyards to compete for various trophies. The entrants include vineyards in Luray, Waterford, Madison, Charlottesville, Culpeper, Middleburg, Leesburg and Winchester. The Wine Auction and Festival costs $10 per person, under 21 free.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer There was a time when waste management meant digging a hole to bury trash and garbage. In fact, prior to 1971, there were no regulations at all for disposing of solid wastes. How things change. Increased environmental awareness has prompted the federal and state governments to establish stricter regulations for waste disposal. The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to issue new rules for landfill location and design by the end of this year, according to the National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA). In Virginia, the landfill issue has moved to top of the agenda for local governments, all of which must comply with new state regulations for groundwater monitoring by 1991. Full compliance with the new state regulations, adopted by the Virginia Waste Management Board in October of 1988, must be met by January 1992. Virginians, like the rest of Americans, are learning that solid waste disposal with environmental safety gauges is a costly project. New state regulations require that all sanitary landfills be underlain by a double-liner system. To insure that the liners are not leaking, groundwater and gas monitoring is also mandated. In addition, liquid emerging from the waste must be collected and treated under the required leachate monitoring program. The Commonwealth’s 22 planning districts recently assessed their solid waste management needs for the next 20 years. Landfill costs in Virginia will reach $1.2 billion, estimated Harry Gregori of the State Department of Waste Management. The estimated landfill and recycling costs for Planning District Commissions in the Northern tip of the state, PDCs seven, eight and nine, total $193 million. The estimated cost for the Lord Fairfax PDC, which includes Clarke and Warren counties among others, is $53 million. The costs for the Northern Virginia PDC are estimated at $83 million. The Rappahannock-Rapidan PDC may reach $57 million. “Landfills are becoming more and more expensive,” said Gordon Jones, regional planner for the Rappahannock-Rapidan District. “The cost has gone from something rela tively minor to a major cost or service that will rival most of the counties’ budgets for school systems.” ‘The cost will ultimately come back to the citizens,” said John W. di Zerega, public works director for Fairfax County. Although he hesitated to make a prediction, di Zerega said Fairfax tipping fees, currently at $24 per ton, will increase significantly once to new regulations have been implemented. Tipping fees in the south increased 29 percent from 1987 to 1988, according to the NSWMA. While landfills continue to disappear around the country, America continues to be a “throw away” nation. The EPA estimates that every American produces two-thirds of a ton of garbage each year, according to the NSWMA. This heap is expected to increase by 20 percent by the year 2000. An estimated statewide average reveals that Virginia municipal landfills have less than five years remaining before reaching capacity, according to the 1989 State of the States report compiled by Renew America. I his is not news to county governments, however, which have been watching their landfill clocks closely and making plans Rappahannock County boasts the first new landfill under Virginia’s updated regulations. It was three sets of state regulations, eight months of serious searching, and one year of extensive development before the county had its landfill, according to county administrator John W. McCarthy. Searching for a landfill is no simple matter. Rappahannock hired three engineering firms to advise them, and sought extensive public input to meet the concerns of area residents. A group of citizens appointed by the Board of Supervisors located 20 possible sites. All but three sites were eliminated after engineering evaluations. The county now has a 100-acre site, only 35 of which are designated for development, with an estimated lifetime capacity of 25 to 30 years. Each cell built will cost $150,000 to $250,000, said McCarthy. Despite the apparent urgency of the waste management problem, Virginia is ahead of the game, said Jones. “After the EPA regulations go into effect the costs of landfills will skyrocket.” THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OP OUR CARNIVAL I The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company and The Ladies Auxiliary Rappahannock Tractor Sales and Service NOW OPEN Rt. 211, East of Washington Full line of service Tractor and small engine repair Now carrying The Green Machine? and HOMELITE TEXTRON Hours: Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. 703-675-3148 John Childrey

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, AUGUST 10,1989 ' ' '^''"1 '.SK Paying the piper Several letters to the editor in recent weeks have critized the arrest of a Flint Hill man whose marijuana plants were discovered by the annual helicopter overflight of the county. We think that several observations are in order about the incident. First, regardless of whether David Blanchard agrees with the law concerning marijuana — which he apparently does not —it is still an illegal substance. He knew that when he planted the garden, and he had to know the risk he was taking. To say that he was not hurting anyone else is beside the point. If the applicability of every law were argued from that standard, there would be no absolute violation of any law. Under that interpretation, Mario Andretti should be allowed to drive as fast as he wants. After all, he has proven himself capable of handling a car at speeds well in excess of highway limits. And, he probably wouldn’t hurt anyone else if he drove 100 miles an hour down U.S. 211. But the law does not exempt Mr. Andretti — or anyone else — from the speed limit. That doesn’t mean that we can’t speed. But it does mean that, if we are caught and convicted, we must be prepared to pay the penalty. Check the court docket on page 2 if you doubt that. Second, laws are enacted by elected legislators to protect tfce p^ie^welfare; Law enforcement officers, be they state — police troopers or sheriff s deputies, are empowered to'eiilSrce those jaws. They have no say in whether the laws are right, or the punishment just. If members of the community disagree with those laws, the place to try to change them is the legislature. To criticize the law enforcement personnel whose job it is to enforce the law is unfair. Though we certainly don’t want to discourage letters to the editor, the most effective way to address a law perceived as wrong is by a letter to our elected representatives. It may not get the desired result, but that is the proper channel in our democracy. By all means, write that letter to the editor. But write one to our congressman, our senators, and our state representatives too. And finally, as we pointed out before, Mr. Blanchard had to know the risk he was taking. To quote TV cop Tony Baretta, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.” Build the kennel We’re happy to hear that the Board of Supervisors is considering options toward erecting a permanent building at the county landfill east of Amissville. A construction trailer is a fast fix, but the county needs to put up a permanent structure. The most obvious reason is for the needs of landfill operator Harold Artz. He needs more than a lawn chair under the recycling shed, and more space for his records than the front seat of his pickup truck. But there’s another reason. The Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, which formed several months ago, has spent untold hours trying to find homes for the stray and unwanted animals found along the county’s roads. They, and Animal Warden Ray Pullen, are hampered in their efforts by the location of the dog pound in a private kennel in Fauquier County. It is not open to the public, so Mr. Pullen must accompany anyone who goes there to look at a dog. The time Mr. Pullen spends for that, as well as the travel time back and forth with dogs he picks up, cuts into the amount of work he can get done with the animals. If the county builds its own pound, it will be open for set hours each week. Whether staffed by volunteers or others, it would be a place where people with missing animals could go to look for them. There would be a place they could call, and a central place to store records about lost and found pets. Though the landfill site is far from a central location, it is within the county, and it is open to the public. In the long run, it would also cost far less for the county to operate its own facility than it pays to the private kennel. With a little assistance from the county the Animal Welfare League could almost certainly establish an adoption program, as well as reunite more lost animals with their owners. We hope that the Board of Supervisors will provide that help by moving with all reasonable speed toward getting the kennel built and operating. • Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage A SUMMER TRADITION, kids and carnivals are as American — and Rappahannock — as Mom and apple pie. Letters to the editor Jail addition questioned I o the editor: On any public project there are two questions which should be parairaiunt for responsible public officials. First, do we need tfiis project; apd second, can we afford it? At the Town Council meeting concerning the jail addition, County Administrator, John McCarthy acknowledged that the jail addition was not required because we need more space to house Rappahannock prisoners. Instead, as accurately reported in the Rappahannock News on July 20, he stated that “an addition to the jail is a necessity because no one is willing to continue supplying meals to the jail.” This claim has now been unmasked. Bill Frizzell tells me that he not only wants to continue supplying meals to the prisoners, but needs to if his business is to go forward. David Godwin, operator of the Village Cafe, wrote an open letter to Mr. McCarthy and the county’s supervisors on July 25 stating that he is prepared to offer a contract for one year to feed prisoners. Whether or not there may have been a justification for this project when it was first considered, there appears to be none noW. > > ">■ At the same meeting, the County also represented that this” project could be completed for $150,000. If the County can build and equip this facility for $150,000, I will pay to the County double my real estate tax bill for the year of its completion. I wonder if the supervisors are confident enough of their budget figures to make the same offer if the County cannnot meet that target. If the County officials, like the Pentagon, are going to have a massive cost overrun, they should admit it now. They should also admit, in light of Mr. Godwin’s letter, that the principal justification for this project no longer exists. That would save the taxpayers some of their hard earned money in this year of record tax increases. WILLIAM E. WICKENS Washington Letters to the editor The Rappahannock News is your, newspaper.

LET US DECIDE WHETHER C'R hot ..you've BEEN HURT IN AN ACCIDENT. OUR LAW dear, / believe I DID GET WHIPLASH f IN THAT ACCIDENT/ FIRM GUARANTEES ION;; ,-nV li Ho\VOUDf.RCA-rEi {iftrZ'-W- 111 If fT PAYS TO ADVERTISE justice for some To the editor: For the past few weeks all we have read about is cable T.V., videos and praise for the law enforcement officers. Jon Heddleston and Tom Von Fange should have nothing to do with what^ parents or children watch in their own private home. Are you sure that you destroyed the videos? Or did you keep them for your own use? I have no teenagers anymore. My children are grown and if they wanted to watch X-rated shows there are a few theaters that they can go to or they can visit friends who have cable T.V. and watch whatever they want to. There are places in Rappahannock County where antennas don’t bring in the stations you would like to watch. Many of us cannot afford satellite antennas and cable T.V. would be much cheaper. As far as the law enforcement officers, Vickie Miller doesn’t know how some citizens are treated. In the 1970’s I lived in Sperryville for two years. During that time a man stopped by my house and drew a gun on my two children, ages 11 and 12, and an 80-year-old man. I was not home at the time, but the oldest child knew where I was and called me. She was scared and crying. I told her to be calm and I would call the Sheriff’s Department I did just that and the answer I got was, “I’m not going to mess with that man. ” Another time I was attending a dance at Flat Woods Inn. My nephew was being beaten on the ground and a man was standing back with a shotgun or rifle aimed at him. I took my son and went home. I called the State Police and they told me to contact the local Sheriffs Department. I did so and the answer I got was, “We are busy working on a breaking and entering case.” The very next night ny nephew was gunned down. So you see Vickie, they need to change their motto from “We Protect and We Serve” to “We Protect and We Serve Certain People.” I also agree with John LeKander; but Jon Heddleston and Tom Von Fange, mind your own business and let the people watch whatever they want to. VIVIAN H. GATEWOOD Washington Support your local sheriff To the editor: As a former resident of Rappahannock County, I have always been interested in the happenings there. Each week I look forward to your local newspaper, and really enjoy the “Letters to the editor”, as I feel there lies the true heart of the people. Over the years I have read about the fact that Rappahannock County is opposed to subdivsions, trucks, nursing homes and cable T.V., to name a few. It would appear that the citizens of Rappahannock County are firm in their conviction to keep the “city ways” out of their beloved county. But after reading the recent letters opposing the helicopter search finding marijuanna and suggesting that they use the helicopter instead to send food to Africa, I could not resist writing a letter myself. What also amazed me was that only one person wrote praising the fine job the authorities had done. I’m glad that Rappahannock County doesn’t want to become another Manassas or Fairfax. I enjoy riding through the county admiring the breathtaking views. But Rappahannock County can not and should not allow drug “farmers” and dealers to infest there. No matter how opposed one is to high development, these creatures manage to sneak in. They make large sums of money from their product, and maybe that’s how they can afford land in Rappahannock County. Obviously, Mr. LeKander is a friend of the accused, as he refers to “David’s marijuanna farm.” Perhaps he has a personal interest in this crop! It has been proven in large cities one of the best ways to get rid of these drug farmers and dealers is for the community to join forces together to let them know they’re not welcomed there. If they don’t, these people will continue to grow and distribute this illegal substance, thus contributing to the drug addiction in America today. Don’t welcome these people with open arms—fight back, and praise the hardworking law enforcement agencies that are able to bring them to court. Perhaps then the proper authorities will be able to find more of these criminals and put them out of business. JANIE WILLIAMS CULLERS Front Royal Do you agree, or disagree?

Telephone service —at a bargain By (.KHALI) S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer My wife, Julia, and I were slow to have the phone hooked up. We enjoyed the privacy and country quietness. and friends who wanted to see us could always come down the hill to visit. Another reason was the long buried line. It hadn’t been used for years, and I had my doubts about whether it would work. Was it corroded, did it have a break in some hard-to-get-spot? I had traced it from where it entered the property at the roadside, along the fence, marked by little grey metal boxes, standing flower-like on metal stalks. It was buried under the hay field all the way up to the Ravine, but then it disappeared. This was a craggy place, with cedars, brambles, and fox holes. Somehow or other, the line went down there, and under the swift-running water of the branch. There was a box at the farmhouse end of the line, labeled antiquely "AT & T,” so 1 felt confident that whatever the telephone company called itself now, it would know its business. When the time came, whatever the difficulties, we would be connected. Like most places in the country, it is difficult to describe where we live, but I called the business operator from a phone in Washington, D C., and began the adventure. "Is your farm north or south of the James River?” asked the operator. Apparently there was some sort !|f grid system that the telephone company used when they were laying out the lines and the various telephone exchanges. It was fortunate that 1 knew roughly wrhere the •lames River was, because I had never been near it. “North.” I said. I wanted to add that it was “West of the Thames, and East of the Mississippi!” but I suppressed my English sense of humor, and tried to be as helpful as possible. The operator’s time is very limited with no time allowed for chatting, and I wanted to get that phone hooked up as soon as possible. She asked me to give her the name of my nearest neighbor, and when I said “Rob Jefferson,” that bit of information seemed to ring a bell... “Oh, you live south of the road, past a sharp 4f> mph bend, at the top of the Ridge, one mile before the village store...” I was delighted, because she had Perspective FORMED IN 1833 FROM CULPEPER AND NAMED FDR THE RtfWMWon RIVER, mm**"** pin-pointed our farm precisely, and I felt I was speaking to a person who knew Rappahannock County, a resident, maybe even a neighbor. So I opened up a conversation. “Never been there,” the operator said, “I’m sitting in Richmond reading what’s on the computer screen.” With that, she entered the billing arrangements into the computer, gave me what was to be the phone number, and promised a connection for “close of business” that day. It was all very efficient, but it didn’t quite work out. Later, when I called the farm number from Washington, the line was busy, even though no one was in the house. My worst fears came to the fore again. I was sure a woodchuck had gnawed through the buried cable, or maybe the line had been carried away in a gullywasher we had experienced the previous fall, which took out bushes, banking and the bridge. So I called Richmond again, and a second operator courteously promised that “ring tone” would be provided by “close of business,” or someone would report back to tell me where the computer said the problem was. No one called back, and when I tested the number it rang normally, like it should. Success, All Hail to the computer! When we arrived at the house, we used our new phone right away to let our friend^ know we were at last connected. Voices were loud and clear, and the musical jingle that preceded the automatic weather report had good quality. For me, knowing quite a bit about electronics and cables from my work as a radio astronomer, it was another example of the wonders of high technology. Bob Jefferson told a different story. He happened to be looking out from his bam the day before when the telephone man did the job. It was raining hard, and our gate was locked, and you couldn’t see anything of our farmhouse from the road. The telephone man climbed over the gate and began checking out the grey boxes that marked the course of the line. Then he must have forgotten a testing tool, because he came back, climbed the gate, and went into the truck for a few minutes. On the second trip he was lost to view in the Ravine for about ten minutes, before he returned, very wet, with loops of wire in his hand. Then he jumped in the truck and drove off. What Bob didn’t know was that the telephone man had written us a pleasant note, curled up the paper and stuffed it in the padlock at the gate. He had also left a soggy telephone directory on the back stoop. It was an indicator of some of the problems he had had, but it was no problem for us—we soon had it dried out, and pressed flat. Later in the week a third telephone operator called, this time to the farm, to explain an item on the billing. She explained that, according to the computerf our farm had a long, buried line, and the bill would have to show an additional monthly charge of $2. “Fair enough,” I said, thanking her for the service. I was looking out of the window, through the bare branches of the wild cherry trees toward the thick, dark Ravine. I thought of that buried line, running somehow under the stream bed, weaving between the rocks, and skirting the place where the family of foxes had made their dens. For once in your life, I said to myself, you’ve got a bargain. Dr. Hawkins is an internationally-known astronomer and author, whose credits include “Stonehenge Decoded” and “Beyond Stonehenge. ” His “Hawkridge Farm," outside Woodville, recently received the modem convenience of telephone service. Terrorists should be eliminated By REP. STAN PARRIS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace." Theodore Roosevelt The barbaric murder of my constituent, Lt. Col. William “Rich” Higgins, by the Islamil terrorists who abducted him, has once again reminded America that having the strongest military forces in the world does not necessarily enable us to respond efficiently and effectively against terrorists and drug kingpins abroad who are killing Americans with impunity. The United States must take whatever action is necessary to destroy Hezbollah and the various other bands of terrorists in Lebanon. To effectively do that, it is clear that we need to restore an essential weapon in our arsenal against terrorists. The same weapon can be used against the international drug kingpins and terrorists that are producing the poison that is killing thousands of Americans, destroying untold lives, and even now directly contributing to the horrible increase in infant mortality and infant addiction. The weapon I refer to is the covert elimination of these terrorists. In 1978, following the revelations of CIA, attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro, President Jimmy Carter issued an executive order prohibiting our covert forces from eliminating foreign targets. I wholeheartedly agree that the CIA should not be in the business of assassinating heads of states or other political leaders. I so believe, however, that President Bush should modify the Executive Order to allow for the CIA, DEA, other U.S. intelligence, agencies and the armed forces to implement surgical and selective action to eliminate terrorists or drug kingpins that the United States has not been able to bring to justice through other means. Is this a harsh reaction? I think not. Groups like Hezbollah and the Medellian Cartel have declard war on the United States. They make war against innocent men, women and children in airplanes, massacre dozens of people in airports, kidnap innocent civilians and peacekeepers in foreign countries, kill, bribe and otherwise thwart drug enforcement officers. These terrorists are at war against America. Why isn’t America at war with them? Acts of war by our enemies legitimize the use of lethal force against them. Isn’t it better to selectively strike terrorist and drug kingpins than to bomb entire sections of a city, like; we did in Libya, risking the lives of innocent civilians? Would not the assassination of Abu Nidal be better than the bombing of downtown Damascus? A selective strike against these terrorists would have a higher probability of accomplishing the intended objective of destroying these killers than would an indiscriminate bombing. 1 erronsm is warfare. It is a war that is not fought against defenseless American civilians. In fact, the more innocent and removed the victim from the military, the more likely he or she is to be a target. That is the nature of terrorism. It’s time to fight fire with fire. If these petty little thugs want to fight a war with the United States, then I say let’s fight it. They may start the war, but we can finish it and finish them. It is time to demonstrate to them that we are capable of and willing to do so.

Of the nine economic indicators measured in the monthly report, only two — electricity consumption and nonagricultural employment — are still recording strong growth, said Roy L. Pearson, director of the Bureau of Business Research and editor of the report. “The job growth in particular reveals the supply-side base of Virginia’s current expansion,” said Mr. Pearson, adding that output is also rising, particularly in service sectors such as medical care, and in manufacturing. The increase in jobs and output will continue to drive the state’s economy, which is still hampered by lower demand for new construction and consumer goods. New car registrations continued their decline in June with a decrease of 9.2 percent compared to the same month last year. Retail sales, which were down in April and May, rose only one percent in June, revealing no real growth. Mr. Pearson noted that the de Lovely, Extra Large Mums Wholesale at Farm $3.75 each _ Available Aug. 15 Several Varieties Beautifully field grown, ready for transplanting or for decorating.

Attend Church Sunday This week's message brought to you courtesy of: Rev. William (Bill) Taylor Family Worship Center We are a new fellowship in the county. Our church is only five years old. We are a non-denominational, spirit-filled church. We believe and preach the integrity of God's word. We have a vision from God to cover this area with the good news of Jesus Christ. Proclaiming that Jesus is the answer to all of man's needs. We have good news for those who are bound by sin, or who are suffering with sickness and disease. We have good news for the poor and the broken hearted, good news for those who are bound by habits, and last but not least, we have good news for those facing family problems such as marriage and raising children in the days in which we live. We also have a strong desire to teach believers who they are in Christ Jesus, their rights and privileges and authority because they are Christians. l believe what has hurt our nation the most, is the lack of a radical commitment of Christians to Jesus Christ and His word. We not only see moral decay in the life of the sinner, but even in the lives of many Christians, and this is a result of a lack of radical commitment to Biblical principals. Even many church members today, have never been truly bom-a^ain. I desire to see the church restored to New Testament Christianity, filled with the life and the power of God, so that we may evangelize the world. I desire to see Christians living victoriously in this world. If you have been looking for a church like this, then I invite you to come and visit us, we are a mixed congregation of black and white of every walk of life. Come and experience the changing power of Jesus Christ.

Journal Camp teaches kids to be Earth's stewards By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer School is out and most of Rappahannock’s youth are on vacation, swimming, playing around, or just happily spending their idle time glued to the TV set. School and learning have been the farthest thing from these kids’ minds. But for 16 youngsters from as far away as New Jersey and Ohio, Capt. and Mrs. Howard W. Holschuh’s farm in Rock Mills has given a whole new look to the educational experience. The Rappahannock Natural History Day Camp held from July 10 to July 21 taught the 16 future adults “how to become better keepers of the Earth by introducing them to their environment,” said staff member Tutt Stapp-Harris. Organized and run by Stapp-Harris and Nancy Hale of Madison county, and sponsored by the Rappahannock League .. of Environmental Protection and the Piedmont Environmental Council, the camp combined fun and learning “in an effort to make the children aware of the wonderful outdoors and the dangers it faces from our growing civilization, ” said Hale. Harris and Hale, with the aid of their junior assistants, Jason Parry and Kyle Apple, kept the campers active with a variety of games, projects, and guest lectures. The only idle time came when, they sat in secluded spots to write and draw in their journals, recording thoughts and images from the day’s events. AT THE DISCOVERY TABLE, from left, look at their handiwork.

Birds = soft, smooth, near, sweet. Bark = rough, hard, breakable.” July 11 “I spotted a caterpillar on the trail to the river. It was black with silver stripes. It was pretty.” July 12 “We saw orange, pink, and white mushrooms. Some of them were poisonous. We didn’t see any snakes Some people want to. Not me!” July IS “The place I like is not far from the house. It is in the woods. I sit on a log that has many ants. I will be back every day. Bye." July 17 “The Fond Place. The pond is a fond place for many fond people. But fond places for fond people are not fond when they are disgustingly trashy. And fond places aren’t very fond when they are disturbingly dirty." July IS “Hear = bees, wind, fish in the water jumping out. See = pond, forest, docks, weeds, the cable over the pond, people, logs, logs in the water, logs on the ground." July 19 “I have seen ants. I have seen acorns that have been carved out like a boat and ants live in them. I have seen moss, an ant hill, a fallen flower, dead leaves, a dead baby dragonfly, grass, roots, underground ant homes, feathers, pieces of bark that have bluish mold on them, a little gray bug that looks almost like a fly, and mushrooms, a tooth bone, wood pieces, and trash.” July 20 The things I didn’t know about nature when I came here were how to tell poisonous from non-poisonous mushrooms. Mushrooms are food to deer, squirrel, and other wildlife. Things in nature are neat, very neat. -- (From the journal of Sarah Gentry, age 10 1/2) One of the favorite camp activities was “Save Our Streams,” a program originated and promoted by the Izaak Walton League. The campers took a large net and stirred up the bottom of the stream bed. Then they retrieved the net and observed the creatures they had captured. “You can classify the quality of the water by the things you find living in it. We found helgamites, stoneflies, mayflies, and dragon fly larvas," said Jason Parry. Tessa Adams’ favorite thing was taking walks. “This was a lot better than school. We spent a lot of time in the woods learning to be quiet, and sharing the forest with other animals.” i The staff members knew that their third, fourth, and fifth grade charges didn’t want to be reminded of the classrooms they were enjoying not being in. So they mixed information into the games they played with activities such as “Meet the Tree” and “Bat.” “I liked meet the tree,” said Jamie Harris. “I was blindfolded in the woods, I’d feel a tree and describe it, then someone would spin me around and take the blindfold off. I had to find the tree using what I had learned about it with the blindfold on.” “Bat” was a game everyone could play together. One camper was the bat, and was blindfolded. Four other campers became moths and the rest of the group formed a circle within which the bat hunted for the moths. Because the bat was blind, it had to rely on its radar to catch its meal. The bat sent out its radar signal by calling out “bat” and the moths would answ'er back “moth.” i ne kjus mso enjoyeu meir guesi lecturers from Shenandoah National Park and their animal assistants -- a blacksnake, an owl, a hawk, and a peregrine falcon. “I used to think snakes were all slimy and gross, but now that I’ve touched one, I know they’re not,” said Sarah Gentry. And seeing the animals imprinted information about them on the minds of the kids in a way that a dry classroom lecture never could. “A peregrine falcon can go 200 miles an hour. That’s faster than any other animal,” announced Ellie Coon, delivering the falcon report and then returning to her work of reassmbling the bones of a mouse. Certainly, the nature camp was fun.

The root of your trees' problems may be your care — or lack thereof By BUCK KLINE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer People spend much time, effort, and money to plant and maintain trees around their homes, businessess, public buildings, and parks. Yet, people who love trees may unknowingly cause them injury as a result of building, road construction, use of lawn and garden equipment, and improper pruning. Following construction or road building, symptoms of injury may not be evident for several to many years. Trees are often injured by earth moving equipment and by changes in ground level. Roots can be injured when heavy equipment passes over them. Ditching along highways and in building projects can also be injurious to trees. The addition of asphalt, concrete, bricks, or more than a few inches of soil around trees will change the amount of water and oxygen available to their roots. Trees with roots so covered have trouble “breathing” and may die. Prevent damage to trees on and around construction sites by fencing or otherwise protecting them from earth moving equipment. Caution construction workers to be very careful when working close to trees that are to be saved. If possible, avoid adding excessive soil or impervious material within the drip line (the entire soil area under branches) of the tree. Lawn mowers, snow plows, and other lawn and garden equipment can severely injure trunks, branches, and roots of trees. These injuries can be as serious as those caused by heavy construction equipment. The wounds caused by, for example, lawn mowers running into trees, may become the entrance site for injurious fungi or insects. To prevent accidentally injuring young trees with mowers, grass should be kept away from tree trunks. The grass can be pulled or the sod removed. Chemicals are not recommended to control the grass as tree roots may pick up the material causing injury or death. Improper pruning is often followed by disease or decay. Pruning cuts should be made just outside the bark ridge where branches join the stem. Long branch stubs permit invasion by decay-producing organisms. Remove injured or diseased branches before they die. Where branches meet the main stem, a swollen area or collar is usually present. Pruning cuts should not be conducted through the collar; it should remain intact following branch removal. If the branch is large and likely to split during removal, it is recommended that several cuts be made. The first is an undercut six or so inches up the branch from the main stem. The second cut should be made from the topside of the branch about one inch further from the main stem than the undercut. By so doing, the branch will break cleanly between the undercut and the uppercut without splitting. The final cut involves removal of the branch stub just outside the bark collar at the branch’s junction with the stem. Simple care taken during construction and paving, use of lawn and garden equipment, and pruning can pay big dividends in maintaining the vigor of yard trees. Vigorous trees, like vigorous people, are best able to defend themselves against the many insects and disease-causing organisms that are always around and seeking a weakened tree in which they can become established.

Cooking with A sweet summer treat It’s hard to remember when peaches have been so good. Do we say that every year? Possibly we do. Each year’s peaches are something special even though the season for them seems to grow longer all of the time. Even though peaches are imported from Chili and other states, it is when the local crop appears that we eat ourselves silly... peaches for snacks, peaches for cereal, peaches in ice cream, peaches on shortcake, peaches in drinks, peaches in pies and cobblers. By mid-season, when the whitefleshed varieties begin to come in A and when yellow-fleshed peaches are at their biggest and sweetest, we’re all peached out. There’s still a lot more enjoyment to be derived from peaches in recipes that present the fruit in new ways as well as familiar ones. Peach kuchen is a coffeecake— like concoction that’s delicious when served warm for breakfast or coffee break. Parmesan chicken with peaches is a wonderful main dish featuring boneless chicken breasts filled with Dijon mustard and prosciutto or baked ham and baked with peaches and a delicate white wine sauce. Peaches really star in desserts, though and there seems to be no end to what can be created with them. Pies come to mind first. A touch of ginger gives a surprisingly new flavor. The apple-peach pie will certainly arouse the interest of the family. It has a crust made with whole wheat flour and popcorn flour. Popcorn flour cannot be purchased, it is made by pulverizing popped com in the blender or food processor. Coarsely chopped popcorn is used for a streusel-like topping. This recipe came from a booklet promoting Paul Newman’s popcorn. Even the most simple dessert, rice pudding is given a touch of elegance when glazed with sugar and brandy. Instead of going to all the trouble and mess of making a crust for fried pies try egg roll wrappers to make Peach Stix. These fried pastries should be eaten soon after frying. They become soggy when left for a time and do not reheat well. Crepes are easy to make, especially if you have a supply of crepes on hand in the freezer. To serve spread the crepes with cream cheese that has been flavored with almond liquer—folded into quarters and topped with peaches warmed in butter and brown sugar. A garnish of sliced toasted almonds add just the touch. When fresh peaches have gone, try using warmed peach preserves n Prices in this ad good thru Sunday, August 13, 1989.

Rain Continued from page 1 cury to 52 degrees. Early Wednesday morning, the mercury bottomed out at 49 degrees, he added. • In the last eight years, Aug. 7 has seen an average nightime temperature in the 60 degrees with daytime temperatures pushing up toward 95 degrees or higher. According to Mr. Wingfield’s records, the first 18 days of August 1988 were blistering hot, with days in the 90’s or 100’s with the exception of one, which reached only 88 degrees. “Monday’s high temperature was only 70 degrees,” Mr. Wingfield added. He said his local records show that so far this summer—the months of June, July and August—days are 10 degrees colder and nights are an estimated seven and one half degrees cooler. He also recorded that from June 1 to date (Aug. 8), Rappahannock has been rained on 31 days, compared to last year’s 24. “And this is counting the smallest amount.” he added. Mr. Wingfield, a weather watcher for more than 20 years, said his records from 1981 through the present day show 1984 to be the wettest summer—rainfall percentages for June, July and August combined —with 15.77 inches and the summer months of 1982 running a close second with 15.46 inches recorded though he “would not be surprised to see this summer rate as the wettest” with already 14.02 inches tallied. Those forced to mow the lawn weekly are complaining. “Why, this has been the best year in memory for pasture," said Carl Stafford, Culpeper County’s Extension Agent for agriculture, adding that “beef cattle have had plenty to eat and young cattle will be heavy. The grass is doing great.” He said that overall most farmers would “take a year like this one over last year, anytime.” But, hay farmers may not be so pleased with the abundant rainfall, and with the heavy downpours which have been common over the past three months. Hay has rotted in the fields from the seemingly endless rainy days. “Actually, it’s been a bad year” for hay farmers Mr. Stafford said. “Oh, it has grown like crazy, but much has been damaged and lost due to wet conditions.” He explained that often the hay is rained upon before it can be bailed or the hay overmatures before it can be harvested, due to wet ground conditions. Mr. Stafford said this summer really “lacked good hay curing weather.” Though it is too early for anyone to predict a market for hay, Mr. Stafford said that good quality hay —that not rained on after cut, leafy and green, cured and in good shape with good smell—will see “an increased market price.” “Cow hay should be plentiful,” the Extension Agent added. And com plentiful. “They say that any time you have a good com year, you have a bad hay year,” Mr. Stafford said, citing an old farm saying. “It’s true this year.” He said the last few weeks of warmer weather have been conducive to com growth. “Those raising field crops had a heck of a time getting them planted,” Mr. Stafford said, referring to the soggy conditions in May and June, adding the cooler weather and continuous rainfall inhibited growth. The later rainfall during July hampered the wheat harvest. “Wet weather is not conducive to harvesting wheat,” he pointed out, explaining that the heavy combines used in the wheat fields were not able to be used due to soggy ground conditions. “A lot was left standing in the field, causing the test weight to go down.” Mr. Stafford said once the matured grain is rained upon, the weight is reduced therefore the value. But rain is a valuable commodity for orchardists. “We are expecting a good crop around this area," Alex Sharp, one of several orchardists in Rappahannock, predicted. “The rain creates favorable conditions for next year's crop too.” Mr. Sharp said even though the rain is good for apples, it causes them to be more susceptible to brown rot. “This is a cosmetic thing,” Mr. Sharp explained, adding that the spot did not affect the taste of the apple or peach. “The spot comes off with peeling,” he said, adding that later wet conditions can cause problems with harvest, both with apples falling from the tree and pickers not able to get to the apples. Amissville farmer Manfred Call of Muskrat Farms on Rt. 211 echoed Mr. Sharp’s words saying apples enjoy the wet weather. With all the rain his peaches should be larger, he said, however last year under adverse growing conditions, his peaches were bigger than this year’s crop. “It's a strange year, this year,” he said. Mr. Call, whose farm specializes in pick-your-owTn vegetables and fruits, repeats Mr. Stafford’s words by saying the big disappointment this yeir is the hay. “Hay is alright if it gets rained on once, but it’s ruined if it gets rained on for a week,” he said adding that most of the hay “did not look good this year. ” “We were not able to get in crops we had planned,” he said with disappointment in his voice, adding that late planting of other crops and cool weather conditions had hampered production so far.

But Mr. Call’s various forms of irrigation, purchased and used during the past several summers as temperatures soared and rainfall percentages dropped, are standing untouched from last year. Even his thirsty blueberries, nearly lost due to drought conditions in previous years, are florishing. “We may have a decent berry crop next year," Mr. Call predicted with pride, saying this year the irrigation system feeding only the blueberries has not been used. And what does the weather have in store for the fall and winter? “Sources can’t get a fix on wThat makes weather conditions,” Mr. Wingfield said, explaining that one season’s wet or dry conditions does not create or predict the following season’s patterns. ur. ivucnaeis agrees, saying we have the tendency to see a continuous trough in the Jet Stream, which has produced most of our summer weather, for the next couple of weeks,” but added there is no way to tell what was in store for fall. He said the immediate concern “is that the ground is so saturated with rainwater that the inevitable tropical storms of August could produce significant flooding.” The tropical storm season in this area can range from June to November but usually is concentrated from early August to late September, “The last wet summer we had like this was in 1972 when Humean Agnes hit the East Coast,” he said, adding that the only other similar summer would be that of “1969 when Camille swept up the East Coast.” Both hurricanes did significant damage not only to the coastal areas but dropped massive amounts of rainfall from the Gulf of Mississippi to the New England states. Dr. Michaels was quick to add that there is no way of knowing if a tropical storm of Camille’s magnitude is on its way; in fact, he added, “the jet stream is deflecting them— 264371011ike the last Hurricane Dean—out to sea.” “It’s a very unusual year,” he repeated. Amissville United Methodists mark 160th anniversary Aug. 13 By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Amissville United Methodist Church members are putting on their Sunday best for a big celebration. Robed in 19th Century tops hats and hoop skirts, the Methodists will celebrate the 160th anniversary of their church on Sunday, Aug. 13. “It's going to be a real celebration,” church member and anniversary committee member Judy Chandler said, her voice trembling with excitement. After four months of careful preparation, the committee, composed of 12 members, has tried “to think of everything,” for the special 10:30 a.m. celebration, Mrs. Chandler said. But, this isn’t just a celebration for the Methodists, The Amissville United Methodist Church, located on Rt. 211, greeted churchgoers of many denominations for generations and church members from around Rappahannock and Culpeper counties are invited to attend the anniversary festivities. “This is a ‘real’ community church,” Mrs. Chandler said, explaining that Amissville’s Methodist Church is believed to be one of the oldest Methodist churches in this area. According to record books — diaries kept by past ministers — found in local libraries, Amissville, at earliest recorded history, was noted for a school, a store and a church. Sitting high upon the hill, looking much the same as it did before the Civil War, the Amissville United Methodist Church has been a beacon for travelers coming both directions, as well as church goers from surrounding areas. Mrs. Chandler said the research — which will be complied into a brief history by church member Charlie Davis for the August celebration — indicates the church was part of a seven church circuit serviced by one SAFE seeks volunteers Services To Abused Families, a United Way organization dedicated to the prevention of domestic violence, is looking for volunteers. In 1988 SAFE received 1,670 requests for counseling and advocacy from 937 families in the five county area of Planning District 9. Out of 263 requests for shelter, 167 women and children were provided shelter and 96 referrals were made to other shelters or agencies. There are several ways a volunteer can serve families in crisis: The Hotline Volunteer answers crisis calls from victims of domestic violence. The calls can be taken at home. Volunteers are trained in crisis counseling, community resources and making referrals. Back-up staff is always provided. The Client Advocate assists SAFE clients in their interaction with local agencies, grocery shopping, and their search for housing. The Court Advocate is trained to educate clients about their legal op tions and the process of legal action. The Advocate may accompany the women to court to act as a support person during a very difficult time. The Children’s Advocate works with the children in structured play groups and individual activities under the supervision of the Services Coordinator. Also, Home and Yard Volunteers assist with shelter projects throughout the year. Volunteer training is ongoing. Topics covered include: The Social and Psychological Dynamics of Spouse Abuse; Values Clarification and Counseling Skills for Volunteers; Community Resources and Shelter Operations; Legal Issues Related to Domestic Violence; and Children as Victims.

NEW DIMENSIONS, INC. 1 -800-232-3010 minister in charge of this district, which changed several times in the 160 years. “At one time, Sperryville, Flint Hill, Willis Chapel, Washington and Amissville all belonged to the same circuit,” Mrs. Chandler explained, adding that church members from Methodist churches in those areas could be part of this charge. She explained that as time progressed into the 20th Century, the church became a three point church — sharing ministers with Jeffersonton and Oak Shades in Culpeper County and later a two point church — sharing ministers with Jeffersonton. It was not until 1982 that the church was given a station minister — the presiding minister, Rev. Steve Parker. “One minister covered the entire area,” Mrs. Chandler said, explaining that often Baptists or people of other denominations attended the Amissville United Methodist Church since a church of their own denominations were not available. At one time “we had preaching every fourth Sunday,” she said. Once the Baptist formed their own church in Amissville, Methodist church members often attended services at the Amissville Baptist Church, when the Methodist minister was visiting another church in the area. Mrs. Chandler added that the Amissville Methodist and Amissville Baptist congregations are “closely knit. My mother was Methodist and my father was Baptist,” she added, giving an example of the closeness between the two churches. In 1957, Oak Shades became a single station and Amissville remained sister churches with Jeffersonton. Services were conducted all four Sundays in the month but as a two point church the minister was still sharing his time with Jeffersonton. “The preacher gave service at Amissville at 11 a.m. the first and third Sundays and at 10 a.m. the second and fourth Sundays,” Mrs. Chandler said, explaining that the minister was at Jeffersonton, at alternating times with Amissville and there was one always at Oak Shades at 2 p.m. “I know it sounds confusing but he was always there and always on time and if you wanted preaching at the same time very Sunday, you would just have to go to Oak Shades,” she said with laughter ringing in her voice, ending that they “didn’t have preaching if there were five Sundays.” Today, the Rev. Steve Parker stands in the pulpit on Sunday mornings offering a service at the same time each week. Though service times and locations have changed through the years, the church itself remains the same. Inside, the darkended kerosene lamps and chandelier add atmosphere and give a hint of what the church was like in times forgotten. “We removed the old woodstoves when we put in the furnace,” Mrs. Chandler said, noting the time as 1957. Remembering back to her early days as a church member she said even though there was no furnace, the church was always warm on Sunday morning. “I onced asked Gramham Hackley who lit the stoves on those cold morning,” she said wondering if there was a steward that should be recognized. “He laughed and said whoever got there first,” she laughed. AMISSVILLE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Inside the church, warmed by sunlight filtered through the stain glass windows, the lighting is more modern and toilet facilities have been upgraded. “It was not until the 1%0’s,” Mrs. Chandler added with amazement in her own voice, “that modem plumbing was added. But we did fine,” she said, adding that the house behind the trees was only really busy on Homecoming Sunday. “The only difference is on the outside where a small door was covered, a door that went to the balcony,” Mrs. Chandler said, explaining that wrhen aluminum siding w'as added in the early 1970’s the door w'as removed, though the steps remain. “Through this door, the slaves would enter and sit in the balcony.” New pews were installed, though the ones previously used can be found in the church’s fellowship hall. An education building was added. But some things are missing. The church once had an old school bus, bought from the Culpeper County schools, which gath-^ ered young children and brought them to Sunday School. It ceased as insurance rates skyrocketed and the church could no longer afford such. Earlier, in the 1940’s, Irvin Holmes used his flat-bed truck for the same purpose. “It was an old pick-up truck with slats on the sides,” Mrs. Chandler said, laughing and adding that the roads were rough back then and she hoped he was a gentle driver, as he delivered the young minds to worship. People like Irvin Holmes will be remembered on Sunday, Aug. 13. “We are planning an early worship,” Mrs. Chandler said, adding that the 10:30 a.m. worship will kick off the anniversary celebration, also a church homecoming. “We have one of the oldest living members — 93-year-old Robert Walter of Charlottesville — and one of the oldest members — Julia Poe of Amissville — attending. A special feature of the worship service is the use of an original pump organ borrowed from Oak Shades in Culpeper. “We are going to sing old hymns played on an old organ,” Mrs. Chandler said. After the worship service, a luncheon will be held on the grounds, weather permitting. Guests are invited to inspect the nostalgic remnants of the past, donated articles of yesterday’s Amissville United Methodist Church, on display in the vestibule. “We just want everyone to come and have a great time,” Mrs. Chandler said, adding “we just hope it does not rain.” Add sunshine and warmth to your home •witha Pella" Skylight.

Pound Continued from page 1 ers several times that their taxes were overdue. “I don’t think it would hurt to advertise,” she said. “These people are aware that they owe it, but they drag their feet.” “Why don’t we go ahead and advertise?” Mr. Massie asked. “We’ve been threatening to.” Mr. Luke explained that the cost of the advertisement could be spread out among the delinquent taxpayers and charged to them. ■ “Many of these people are out of I county,” Col. Bingham commented after looking over the list. The list also showed those who hadn’t paid taxes in previous years. After taxes are unpaid for three years, the county can advertise to have the properties sold for unpaid taxes. After looking over the list for those properties on which three years’ worth of taxes were owed, Mr. Luke noted that they were mostly small lots in Chester Gap which couldn’t be used as building lots because the land won’t perk. The tax monies wouldn’t make up the cost of advertising the sale, he said. We could take them over and leave them as open space,” Col. Bingham suggested. “We’d still have to advertise,” Mr. McCarthy said. Earlier the supervisors had heard that there had been some progress on the jail addition. Mr. McCarthy reported that the Washington Town Council had supported the county in its appeal of the Architectural Review Boards denial for the project, but that final design plans would be subject to ARB approval. “Thus it appears that we are going ahead,” he said. He also explained that when the plans were sent to Richmond for approval, 25 questions had been raised. He said that the architect had been able to satisfy Richmond on most of those points, but that the architect and the sheriff would go to Richmond to work out understandings on the remaining questions. He said that Del. Andy Guest had already prepared a bill to have the county reimbursed for the state’s 50 percent share of the cost of the addition up to $100,000. He said that the county hoped to get the costs of moving the summer kitchen, retiling portions of the second and third floors of the current jail where they connect with the addition, and repainting the roof included in the ko'iy“'C that the state would pay half of the cost. Rally Continued from page 1 fuel the campaign against drug smugglers. In addition to heavy penalties against traffickers, the former state attorney general said, he would target recreational drug users, fining those convicted of using marijuana $5000 and those convicted of using hard drugs $10,000. “Most of the people using drugs can afford it — they’ve got cars, they’ve got incomes, they’ve got houses,” said Coleman. He also advocated stigmatizing users by placing the names of those convicted of drug offenses in local newspapers. Supporting the death penalty for drug smugglers, Coleman said, “The man who brings boat loads and plane loads of drugs into Virginia is just as must a random killer as anyone on death row today. “When law enforcement looms so large on the horizon of unmet needs, to put a man like my opponent in charge would be the wrong thing with the wrong person at the wrong time and we’re not going to put him in charge in November,” said Coleman, drawing a round of applause from the crowd. Citing Wilders votes against the reinstitution of the death penalty, against making it a capital offense to murder a law enforcement officer, and against making it a felony to brandish a firearm while being arrested, Coleman criticized his opponent's record in law enforcement. He called the vote against brandishing one of Wilder's “most unusual votes,” and said the Lt. Governor claimed that such a law might encourage police officers to ,,murder people. “In four years in office he hasn’t done one thing to deal with the problem of illegal drugs — not one single thing. Here’s a man who has never stepped into a courtroom except as a witness, a defense attorney, or a spectator, and now he wants to take over the personal management of the State Police ... He should be the last man to head up law enforcement agencies — with his record and his outlook that has been expressed in a long legislative career. “These are the issues, these are the types of things that I think that he and I ought to discuss before the people of Virginia,” Coleman said. Claiming that the criminal justice system as it stands is uncertain, Coleman advocated swift, stem and sure punishment for career criminals. He called them the “ringleaders” of criminal activity, “who entice other people to get involved in those activities.” Smith Continued from page 1 In fact when practice started for the 1989 track season, the track was not only unsuitable for hosting meets, it w'asn’t really suitable for practice. Clumps of grass were growing in most of the lanes, and there were holes in the graveled surface. Rappahannock’s first home track meet was canceled on the day it was supposed to occur. After that fact became generally known, the school administration made a commitment that the track would be repaired in time for the 1990 season. However, in June Mike Lacika, then the high school’s athletic director, reported to the School Board that the only firm interested in doing the work to repair the track estimated that the work would cost $7,700. The School Board agreed that there was no money in the new budget for such an expensive repair job and decided to let the new athletic director try to get community support for repairing the track. Mr. Smith said he has talked with Superintendent David Gangel about the track, and he is hopeful that it can be repaired enough to hold the one home track meet scheduled for next spring. “Cinder tracks (which are actually gravel) always require a lot of maintenance,” he said. “You can’t just paint lane lines; it has to be redone with lime for each meet. It would sure be nice one day to get an all-weather surface there. “I’m interested in getting to know the strengths and weaknesses of the athletic program,” he said. “I’m real interested in working with the community. Athletics and all extra curricular activities are important parts of the whole educational process. They focus the attention of the community on the schools. They are all going to get a lot of my attention.” Mr. Smith said he has also been involved with Mr. Toth in revising the student handbook. He said the handbook wouldn’t show many changes, but that “sometimes a rule has to be explained more thoroughly, sometimes a section can be dropped.” Parts of the handbook have to be changed because of the shift to a seven-period day, he explained. “I’m impressed with the direction the school division seems to be headed,” he said. “It’s like we’re moving in a real positive direction. The building project is a real impressive addition, and I’m impressed with the advances in computer offerings here for students. “of course, in a small school division it’s always a challenge to be able to offer the number and kinds of course offerings parents want. There are obvious limitations because of enrollment, but I feel we’re heading in a positive direction generally.” t Mr. Smith is hoping to find a house to buy in Rappahannock. Since coming here from Craig County where he was an elementary school principal last year, he has been living with a sister and brother-in-law in Northern Virginia. His wife has stayed behind to work at her job in Blacksburg, and on weekends they have been house hunting. “I’m planning on living here in the county. It helps give you a feel for the community to live in it,” he said. About the difficulty of finding affordable housing in Rappahannock, Mr. Smith said, “that’s part of the challenge of the move.” Historical Estes Mill.

Mount Vernon Realty pea 221 Broadview Avenue ,Warrenton, VA 22186 '347-1165 347-2000 Metro 385-9860 Citing a U.S. Justice Department study, Coleman claimed that, although it costs about $18,000 a year to keep a person in prison, it costs society $430,000 if that person is on the streets involved in criminal activity. Coleman also advocated a “boot camp” prison concept for certain young offenders, which would serve as a “last chance” for them to mend their ways and become productive members of society. The concept is being tried in several states, and Coleman said recidivism rates have dropped from nearly 50 percent to only two percent. “Now I’m not saying that in six months you can completely change everything that’s happened in a person’s life — but the success of this program is really astonishing.” Benedetti, the underdog challenging Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, also criticized his opponent for not taking a tough stand in the fight against drugs, saying she has “failed miserably." Benedetti has said that CADRE, a program designed to curb drug and alcohol use among youths and founded by Terry7, has not been proven effective. “She has not done what she should do," said Benedetti, “and that is to get up on her hind legs and tell people who are dealing drugs in Virginia that we wall not tolerate them.” Benedetti said that as attorney general he would be the chief law’ enforcement officer for the Commonwealth. He said he would introduce legislation to administer drug assets to localities, with 75 percent going to the localities where the drugs were seized and 25 percent going to smaller communities who need the funds to fight the drug war. The 60-year-old Richmond lawryer also said he would establish a nerve center which would allow law enforcement officers around the state to communicate the happenings in the drug world. To solve prison overcrowding problems, Benedetti advocates building more prisons as well as using innovative ideas such as shock incarceration, electric surveillance, strict probation, and prison.privatization. “I plan to be a proactive attorney general as opposed to the reactive attorney general that we have now,” Benedetti told the group. Del. Guest, too, hammered on the Democrats, including members of the General Assembly, urging the Rappahannock residents to rally for the GOPs. “When one group of people has had absolute pow’er for too long, you get the arrogance of one-party-rule, a,pd that is wrong,” said Guest, pounding the table with his fist to emphasize his point. The prospects for an August 18 debate between the gubernatorial candidates before the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce remains clouded, according to Coleman. “What’s happened is I’ve been stiffed by him [Wilder! twice . . . He’s an unreliable debating partner and has a practice of saying he’ll be there, discombobulating your w’hole campaign, and then he doesn’t show’ up,” explained Coleman. Instead, Coleman favors two statewide televised debates, “so everyone in the state can see us.” Members of the Wilder campaign said, however, that Wilder will be at the scheduled Chamber of Commerce event ready to debate. Food Continued from page 1 Specifically, Town Council member William Wickens alleged that Mr. McCarthy knew, when he told the Town Council that the jail addition had become a necessity because no food service providers could be found, that both Mr. Godwin and Mr. Frizzell were willing to provide the meals. Mr. Wickens was one of two members of the Town Council who voted against the county’s plan for the jail addition. However, when asked about Mr. W’ickens’ allegations on July 17, Mr. Godwin backed Mr. McCarthy’s version of the events preceeding the hearing. “It was a matter of courtesy,” he said of the county administrator’s contact. “He asked me if Mr. Frizzell wouldn’t do it, would we be interested. I said yes.” Mr. Godwin added that Mr. McCarthy told him explicitly that, if Mr. Frizzell cancelled his contract, any new contract would be put out through an open bid. Mr. Godwin added that he called Mr. Frizzell, who told him that he was quite satisfied with the present arrangement and had no intentions of cancelling. Howrever, according to Mr. Godwin, former ARB Chairman Carol Miller, who resigned her post after the addition was approved, urged him to write to the Board of Supervisors to inform them of his interest in the contract. He did, in a letter dated July 25. In it, Mr. Godwin offers a one-year contract, three meals a day, every day. He offered no specific price tag for the meals, which Mr. Frizzell is now supplying at a cost of $3 each, or Warren Memorial offers services The Heart to Heart Support Group will meet on Thursday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. in the hospital conference room.

The supervisors, at their meeting Aug. 7, declined to pursue Mr. Godwin's offer. Mr. McCarthy stressed that the county’s decision to build a kitchen at the jail was made last fall, after inquiries to local restaurants had produced no one willing to undertake the contract on a long-term basis. “I want to emphasize that when were were talking about building the addition we went to local food service providers and asked if they were interested in the jail contract.” Among the restaurants contacted, he added, was the Village Cafe. Two of the restaurant's owners at that time, Ann Kolack and Arthur Neufeld, told him they were not interested. And, the county administrator said, as recently as two months ago Mr. Frizzell “explicitly” told the Board of Supervisors, Sheriff John Henry Woodward and Mr. McCarthy that “he would be willing to keep supplying meals as long as the county worked toward building a kitchen.” That was perfectly acceptable, Mr. McCarthy said, “but it leaves us in a precarious position. What do we do if he cancels?” That, Mr. McCarthy stressed, was the basis of his approach to Mr. Godwin, the new owner of the Village Cafe. “The only thing I approached him with was a fill-in contract until the addition is complete. No one was ever asked to do it forever. “I don’t know,” Mr. McCarthy continued, “and I didn’t ask if anyone is interested in a one, two or three-year contract — because that policy decision (to build the kitchen) had already been made by the Board of Supervisors. ” Several considerations besides the lack of a willing supplier led the board to its decision, Mr. McCarthy added. He noted that within his three years as a county official, “there have been three restaurants at the place now called the Village Cafe. “It’s a simple fact: If the county depends on someone else’s business success to provide an essential service, we are exposed — at someone Remodeled house on Rt. 211, adjacent to Hampton Inn.

That’s what the supervisors said they didn’t want to happen — to avoid that possibility.” Beyond the security of the contract, he added, “look at the cost.” The county pays $9 per day, where every other jail in the state with its own kitchen feeds its inmates for $2 to $3 per day. With a kitchen at the jail, Mr. McCarthy said, the county can buy products in bulk, as well as perhaps qualify for government programs which supply surplus food at greatly reduced prices. And the outside supplier is figuring a profit into the cost charged to the county, he pointed out, noting that the food service for the jail cost the county $42,000 last year. “Everything which is a profit margin for the businessman would be a cost savings to the taxpayers.” He estimated that the addition will cost between $150,000 and $200,000, and that the cost could be recouped in five years by the savings in having the meals prepared inhouse. The addition, he estimated, figures to between five and seven cents on the county’s tax rate this year. “All of the cost is on this year’s tax bills,” Mr. McCarthy said. “But what that doesn’t show is the 50 percent reimbursement from the state” — which will not be credited until the 1990-91 fiscal year. Of Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Godwin said, “he never misrepresented me. The contract was never offered on a long-term basis,” and he would not be willing to do it that way. “Who can guarantee,” he asked, that a restaurant will be around in three, five or ten years? And to Mr. Wickens and Mrs. Miller, he added, “I understand they think they have a legitimate complaint. But they weren’t concerned about me getting the contract before the addition was approved. But the day after, then they want to talk to me.” Whether the addition is built or not, Mr. Godwin said, “that’s not my concern. I just want the contract.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703)987-8088 Charming and Spacious, 2 story home on 1.54 acres in Sperryville, 3-4 bedrooms, 2 baths, garage, small cottage, outbuildings. $175,000.
