Six students brine world closer By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Beside new classes and new teachers, Rappahannock County High School students are welcoming new friends — and new languages. Six international exchange students have joined the 1989-90 classes in Sperry ville. Each a member of Youth for Understanding, an international exchange program for students ages 15-19, the six students are living with local Rappahannock families until the summer of 1990. Isabella Fiqueiredo, one of the youngest students, finds Rappahannock’s Indian summer weather comparable to her Brazilian winter. “It's very hot where I live,” she explained adding that now the'summer months begin and her school year would be drawing to a close. • In nearly perfect English th^ Rappahannock junior and a seconti year Brazilian high school student, 15-year-old Isabella hopes the upcoming winter months will bring snow. “I’ve never seen snow,” she said, adding the coolest temperatures reflect our present temperatures while summer brings temperatures in the 90s or above. This county's vastness and open space has come as quite a change for Isabella, a native of Rio de Janeiro, a city of over one million. “You have to have a car to drive everyw here here and the houses are so large,” she said, comparing her new home with Sharon and Sean Kilpatrick in Woodville to her Brazilian apartment. “The houses are so very different.” Housing is just one of the many differences the exchange students have discovered. Emma Ardin of Sweden and Ulrike Kleingam of Germany have found the green background and sloping mountains a welcome change. Emma is used to the sea in every direction. “I can see the sea from my bedroom window,” she said with perfect English, explaining that she lives in an apartment on a tiny island off the coast of Sw'eden. See EXCHANGE, p. 16 €afe manager skips town Godwin faces felony charge By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Businesses and individuals in and around Rappahannock County are still totalling their losses after the manager of Washington’s Village Cafe left town last week, leaving only unpaid bills and bad checks behind. David Paul Godwin, 27, is being sought by the Rappahannock County Sheriff s Department on a felony bad check charge filed by Paul Baldwin, owner of Baldwin's Grocery in Washington. According to the warrant, Godwin cashed three checks worth a total of $788 at the grocery store, all of which were returned for insufficient funds. In addition to the criminal charge, two civil warrants in debt have been filed against Godwin, according to records on file at the clerk’s office of the Rappahannock County General District Court. William Wickens, a partner in a Washington, D.C., law firm and a member of Washington’s Town Council, filed a warrant in debt totalling $4,500 alleging Godwin has misappropriated money given to him and failed to repay a personal loan. Papers filed in support of the suit include photocopies of two personal checks written by Mr. Wickens to Godwin. One, dated May 28, 1989, is in the amount of $3,000 and carries the notation “wine.” The other, a $1,500 check dated July 9, 1989, carries the notation “30day loan.” Shirley Zim, the owner of Washington Video Rentals, filed a second warrant in debt against Godwin. She alleges that he rented and failed to return a videocassette recorder valued at $300 and rental movies worth $210. In addition to the merchandise, Mrs. Zim’s warrant alleges, Godwin owes the store $40 in late charges and paid part of his bill with a bad check in the amount of $104. When the allegations against Godwin surfaced late last week, Sheriff John Henry Woodward began investigating his past. That record, Sheriff Woodward said Monday, includes outstanding warrants issued in March 1988 for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and had checks in Comanche County, Oklahoma; larceny and bail jumping in Brevard County, Florida, in August 1988; violation of probation in Fairfax County, Virginia, in October 1988; and a stolen property charge in the City of Fairfax which dates from November 1987. Citing privacy regulations, Sheriff Woodward said he could not comment on any possible past convictions on Godwin’s record. Mr. Wickens explained this w'eek that Godwin had approached him with the idea of building an inventory of wines to sell at the restaurant, but said he lacked the capital to open an account with a wholesaler. Mr. Wickens loaned him $3,000 as an advance to establish credit with the wholesaler, adding that Godwin told him that buying the wines in volume would lower their price at retail. After time passed and nothing further was heard about the wines, Mr. Wickens said, he asked about the money and was assured that it was in the wholesaler’s acSee GODWIN, p. 16 WSA ponders options to pump, dispose of sludge By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newg Staff Writer The county’s Water and Sewer Authority needs to find a way of pumping the septic tanks in Sperryville and disposing of the sludge from them. The contract with Rosebud Septic Service of Culpeper, which has been in effect since the treatment plant opened, was fulfilled when Rosebud pumped the final tanks in its three-year cycle last Christmas Day, WSA member Charles K. “Pete” Estes said. For the past several months, members of the Authority have been discussing the possibility of acquiring a pumper truck and having the tanks pumped by the plant operator rather than contracting with an outside firm. This might not only save money, but also allow the sewage treatment plant to operate more effeciently, since it seems to require more bacteria than it receives from the liquid from the tops of the tanks, plant operator Tim Falls suggested to the members several months ago. In order to do its own pumping, however, the Authority would need a permit from the State Health De partment to discharge the pumped sludge into the treatment plant. It would also need to buy a pumper truck. And there seems to be no movement on either front, Mr. Estes said. At last Thursday’s meeting, treasurer Martin Woodard said he had approached Charles Shepherd at the Cul-, peper office of the Health Department four to six weeks ago. Mr. Shepherd seemed agreeable, but Mr. Woodard hadn’t heard anything further. He said he would get back in touch with the Health Department. Mr. Estes reported that Mr. Falls had information about pumper trucks from a firm in the Midwest. “What we need to do if we’re serious about the truck is to research the thing and find out what we really need,” Mr. Estes added. He said he also had information from another firm that could pump the tanks on a contract basis. The authority decided to seek bids from that firm while also pursuing the idea of taking the sludge to the Sperryville plant. Even if the tanks are pumped on a contract basis, the cost should be less if the sludge only has to be trucked to the plant, Mr. Estes suggested. The WSA has until the end of the year to come up with a plan if it is to stick with the schedule of having all tanks pumped every three years on a rotating basis. The first tanks were pumped nearly three years ago. ViceChairman Carson Johnson pointed out that a three to five year schedule had originally been recommended because “that way you only have sludge. You don’t have any crvstalized material caked on there." Mr. Johnson suggested that the authority could skip a year and still be within the three to five year guidelines as long as it was prepared to pump any tanks that might need to be emptied sooner. James Swindler III said that he felt the tank at his parents’ business. Country Manor, might haveX^tp^be pumped sooner. “You’re using too much disinfectanT'up' there,” Mr. Estes said. “A septic tank needs bacteria."

She is pleased to be working in a small community library where she can do a little of everything, instead of having to be a specialist in a large library system. “I think I can contribute more to a smaller organization or community,” she said. “In a large organization, you can get lost.” Her most recent position was the Director of Learning Resources at Southern Arkansas University Tech in her hometown of Camden. There t her work was part teaching, part clerical and part administrative. Before that she worked at the library at Louisiana State University while earning her Masters in Library Science degree there. “I got acclimated to large university libraries and learned about government requirements there,” she said. “Also See LIBRARIAN, p. 11 Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan INSPECTING THE COLLECTION, Rappahannock’s new librarian Diane Green is at home in the stacks. No state funds for library project By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer When the State Library Board was passing out grant money for library construction last week, it passed over Rappahannock County. The county’s Library Board was notified late last week that its application for a $250,000 grant to help fund a new library building did not win approval. “It’s disappointing,” said Grace Sims, former librarian and a member of the local library board. “Of the eight applicants we were the only one that hadn’t applied before and the only one applying for a main library. I suppose money goes to a Prince William for a branch library to serve 20,000 rather than to Rappahannock for a main library to serve 6,000.” “We’ll be proceeding with private and foundation fundraising,” Dr. William Ybung, chairman of the Rappahannock Library Board added. “Our application was in order. There was no fault with our request, but when priorities were set, other places See GRANT, p. 16

VIRGINIA NEWS From Across The State Area's jails reflect overcrowding problems common across nation By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer The barred doors at Prince Wilham-Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center serve two functions. They not only keep prisoners in, but now they also keep prisoners out. After being sued by an inmate in the fall of 1988, the prison is under a federal consent decree that requires it to shut its doors if its inmate population reaches 402. Since April of 1989, when the decree first went into effect, the prison has been closed about 20 times, according to Col. Glen Hill, but never for more that three hours at a time. With a bed capacity of 175, the detention center averages 380 inmates, said Hill. However, despite the prison s nearly double capacity, Hill considers the inmate population to be “manageable.” In a sense, the consent decree has made the situation easier for those at Prince William. Other counties and cities around -Virginia, however, are facing the same crowding problems. “It’s all over,” said Sheriff Ashby Olinger of Fauquier County. “All over the state, all over the country. ” Fauquier County’s jail, whose bed capacity is 48, averages about 70 inmates every day, according to Olinger. At night, mattresses and cots are placed on the cement floor to provide for the additional prisoners — a common practice in many local jails. Most counties in the Northern Virginia region report that they are at, or near, double capacity daily. As a result, area jails work together to house inmates. Clarke, Frederick, Page, Shenandoah, and Warren counties have a regional jail system, sharing the burden of packed prisons. Warren County houses only male inmates. Clarke houses only female inmates. “We have two females in Loudoun County jail now,” explained Sheriff Dale A. Gardner. “Warren County is holding two males for Loudoun County. We farm things out among jurisdictions as best we can.” Transporting prisoners, though, can become costly. Counties such as Fairfax and Loudoun have full-time officers assigned solely to transportation. “We’ve got people on the road all ' of the time” reports Sheriff Wayne ; M. Huggins bf Fairfax County. Juveniles, who require special fa■ cilities, hit the localities the hardest. Sheriffs in the upper part of the • state related that it is not uncommon for them to transport juveniles as far i as Petersburg, Lynchburg or Dan•. ville. ■- “Last summer, the juveniles t were about to run us to death,” said ~ Sheriff John Henry Woodward of - Rappahannock County. Despite regional cooperation, ; area sheriffs report the jails remain . crowded. “We are always full,” said Gard. ner. With a bed capacity of 10, r i Clarke houses close to 30 prisoners on the weekends, according to Card ner. To add to the population problem, local jails are holding prisoners waiting to be admitted to the state penetentaries which are suffering from the same clogged system. In Loudoun County where the bed capacity is 63, there are an average of 20 state prisoners, said Sheriff John Isom. The state will not accept any prisoners in Northern Virginia with a sentence of less than six years, according to Isom. “We have no idea how long they’ll be there,” said Gardner, who has four state prisoners from Clarke. “I guess its as soon as the beds become empty.” Rappahannock County’s jail is one of the few Virginia jails that is not spilling over with inmates, but rather is benefiting from the crammed prison system. “My jail is large enough to handle Rappahannock County right now,” said Woodward. With a 14-bed capacity, Rappahannock has only been full of its own prisoners once in the past year, yet the county’s jail has become an orphanage for other county’s inmates. “Yesterday, I got a call from Pittsylvania County — wherever that is — asking me to hold two females,” related Woodward. Aside from aiding other localities, housing inmates raises revenue for Rappahannock, explained Woodward. However, the numerous counties that he (assists — Madison, Greene, Fauquier, Orange, Loudoun, and others — exemplify the extent of the state’s prison crisis. Statistics provided by Virginia’s legislative services reveal that based on American Correctional Association standards, Virginia’s jails are 122 percent over capacity. The state’s department of corrections is 123 percent over capacity. Among the reasons listed for the tremendous growth in the incarcerated population is the increased law enforcement efforts. An increase in arrests has strained the court system, resulting in a backlog of inmates awaiting trial in local jails, according to the state Department of Public Safety. The average number of persons awaiting trial in local jails in January was 4,797, approximately 50 percent of the jail population. Also, felons are receiving longer sentences. The average sentence length for confined felons increased 24 percent from FY 1980 to FY 1988. The number of drug offenders committed to the DOC increased by 135 percent from FY 1985 to FY 1988 and are expected to exceed 1,100 in FY 1989. The 1989 General Assemby established a commission to study prison and jail crowding and recommend legislation for 1990.

The following were among the recommendations: • “Funding for community-based programs should be targeted to those porgrams which have a proven record of success in reducing inmate populations in local and state facilities. • “Any decisions which would result in the construction of new correctional bedspace, either at the state or local level, should be made only after there has been a thorough analysis of costs, both capital and future maintenance and operation.” • “For non-violent detainees, who cannot make bond, the committee encourages the use of release on recognizance with the support of pretrial programs.” • “The Commonwealth must provide financial incentives to th^ localities for the development of diversion programs.” • “The use of electronic monitoring should be expanded from current pilot locations, and localities be encouraged to utilize this program in lieu of incarceration in certain cases.” Because of the complexity of the state corrections system and the limited time frame in which it had to work, the committee hesitated to make further specific recommendations before more study is conducted. The preliminary report read: “The committee feels strongly that a number of areas require significantly more study before more specific recommendations are made, but they hold potential for crowding reduction or improved inmate management. I hese areas include, drug treatment; education; work opportunities: including Virginia Correctional Enterprises; vocational training; and increased funding for community based programming.” Wilderness survival class A weekend Wilderness Survival Skills Course will once again be given by the Blue Ridge Group of the Virginia Chapter of the Sierra Club.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspaper State Writer Lottery sales have nearly doubled expectations as the Virginia Lottery approaches its first anniversary. In operation for 12 months on Sept. 20, the new state lottery reached $485 million in sales as of Sept. 6. “We never thought it would come this far in the first year,” said Ken Thorson, lottery director. “At this time last year, we were hoping to make our projection, $250 million in sales. As it turned out, it has been a whole lot better than that.” Virginians showed their enthusiasm for the state game during the first week of ticket sales last September when they bought an estimated 36.2 million tickets. However, many speculated that the novelty would wear off, and ticket sales would fade. Statistics from the state lottery department show that that is not the case. Steady tickets sales have continued through the instant games of Money Match, Tie-Tac-Toe, Loose Change, Double Play, Photo Finish, and Lucky Draw. Sales for the new Pick 3 on-line game, which started up on. August 17, were just as impressive, yielding $40.5 million by September 6. Focusing in on the individual counties, the sales figures seem even more remarkable. In rural Clarke County, total ticket sales for just under a year, Sept. 20, 1988 to Sept. 6, reached 600,365, or $60 per capita. Total sales for Fairfax County were over 27 million, amounting to about $36 per person. Fauquier County’s sales of 3.5 million, or $79 per capita, were somew'hat higher per person than its neighbor’s in Loudoun County whose sales reached 4.4 million, or $63 per capita.

Phone; (703)937-5900 Nearby, in Rappahannock County, retailers sold more than a half million dollars in lottery tickets, amounting to about $92 per person. Warren County safes were even higher per capita, reaching $101 per person, or 2.4 million. Despite the seemingly high figures, Thorson said ticket sales for Northern Virginia were “a little disappointing.” Northern Virginia “is strong compared to other regions, but it is no where near what we think its potential is," said Thorson. He attributes that, in part, to the competition in the District of Columbia and Maryland. Consequently, the Virginia Lottery is working to recruit more retailers in the Northern Virginia area. “The studies seem to show that the more retailers you have the greater your sales will be — and that’s simply a matter of convenience,” explained Thorson. Nearly $250 million in prizes were paid out during the first year of operation, according to the state lottery department. Virginia’s 5,600 lottery retailers were also big winners, earning more than $24 in com missions this last year. Just last month, Virginia Lottery officials delivered a check for more than $140 million to the state’s general fund. The $140 million, representing lottery revenues for Fiscal year 1989, will be funneled into the first 37 of 82 capital projects. “Virginians will soon be able to see their lottery dollars at work as these building projects get underway,” said Thorson. Among the projects that will be funded from this year’s revenue is the construction of a new building for science and technology at George Mason Universityin Fairfax. George Mason will receive $11 million for the new structure. Also on the list of capital improvements is a new construction at Leesylvania State Park in Prince William County and renovations at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg. In celebration of its first anniversary, the lottery will double Pick 3 prizes on Wednesday, Sept. 20. Talent and organization rarely come in the same package. — Eric Kvarnes^ ' C.E.S.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,19$9 Editorial The ol' switcheroo Several weeks ago in this column, we lambasted Democratic gubernatorial nominee L. Douglas Wilder for his lack of candor about several matters relating to his personal financial dealings. Now, it’s Republican nominee J. Marshall Coleman’s turn. Last week, this paper’s state news writer reported that Mr. Coleman had switched his position on the proposed western bypass of Washington, D.C. During an interview in late May with Fauquier Democrat editor Richard Johnson, Mr. Coleman said he opposed building the bypass. “I think we should get on with the eastern bypass. It’s not part of my campaign to build the western bypass.” But Mr. Coleman went further than just stating own his opposition. He continued his comments with a broadside against his GOP primary opponent, Congressman Stan Parris, from Northern Virginia’s Eighth District. “Parris is saying build the bypass. He doesn’t care who it affects or who it knocks down. He’s going to build the western bypass. Well, I don’t happen to agree with him.” However, since Mr. Coleman pulled off a primary victory in June, and has since been the recipient of more than $550,000 in contributions from McLean developer Dwight G. Schar, who is also Mr. Coleman’s neighbor and client of his law firm, he seems to have had a change of heart. It’s amazing what a couple of months and a couple of hundred thousand dollars will do for a politician’s views. Here is what Mr. Coleman said last week during a campaign appearance in Warrenton. “It appears that the western bypass will be a part of Virginia. And I’m interested in where it will be located, where will be the best place for it. Obviously, there’s a tremendous amount of opposition to it. I didn’t quite say that I was altogether against the bypass, but that I don’t approve of the ‘damn the torpedoes’ approach of going forth and building it . ” Mr. Coleman went on to question the veracity of Mr. Johnson’s reporting of his appearance in May. The Democrat's editor retorted that the appearance had been recorded, and that he stands by his story. It is irritating that the candidate would resort to the cheap tactic of challenging the integrity of The Fauquier Democrat and its editor in his haste to back away from an earlier stance on an issue of importance. It is disappointing that a man seeking the highest office in the Commonwealth would feel that the bypass is “inevitable,” and that seems to feel he would be powerless as governor to prevent an endeavor which bears such a cost with so little merit. But most important, perhaps, is that the man who might be Our next state chief executive apparently doesn’t have the capacity to recognize viable transportation alternatives to the western bypass j uggemaut. We see nothing wrong with fine, conservative minds guiding the progress of the Commonwealth of Virginia. However, if the mind is conservative but not fine, maybe it’s best that our leadership come from elsewhere. I Commentary Rappahannock heritage Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THE ABUNDANT RAINFALL this summer has left morning glories blooming in profusion across the county. Issues range far beyond Avtex By DAVID N. CRUMP JR. An editorial titled “The issues,” which appeared in the Front Royal- \ Warren Sentinel (Sept. 6) correctly pointed out that there is more to discuss in this fall's campaign than Avtex Fibers. The pollution caused by Avtex is a major concern in this district, and the attention this issue has received has been appropriate. But, I am asked, besides your strong stance against Avtex pollution, what other views do you have? OK, here goes: Growth and Development: Everywhere I go in the district, people are concerned about the westward push of North Virginia development. They say “Don’t let us turn into a mass of townhouses like Centreville, or a commercial strip like Manassas.” Local government is frequently stymied in its attempt to control growth because it only has such powers as the State Legislature gives it. Local government needs the authority to impose impact fees on developers for road and school construction, and for other necessary off-site improvements. It needs the authority to control the appearance of developments. And, local government needs immunity from monetary damage lawsuits brought in response to its land use decisions. Abortion Following the Webster decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, the responsibility for future abortion legislation has been shifted to the state legislatures. My position is straightforward. I am pro-choice. I will not interfere with a woman’s right to make her own choice, and I will not support legislation designed to meddle in a matter which is none of the government’s business. 4 JUNE im:* I THINK WE SHOULD GET ON WITH THE EASTERN BYPASS. IT'S NOT PART OF MY CAMPAIGN TO BUILD THE WESTERN BYPASS"// AUG, IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THERE WILL ULTIMATELY BE A WESTERN BYPASS. IT'S JUST A QUES^^X TION OF WHERE, NOT „l( WHETHER l\ Education The local dropout rate is an absolute disgrace. The future for dropouts-is bleak, and the strain placed on' society’s resources by dropouts is immense. We have got to get aggressive in our efforts to keep these kids in school, or to see that they get GEDs. The Legislature can provide incentives, including tougher drivers’ license measures, such as if you are a dropout, no diploma or GED means no license up to 18 years of age, period. From 18 to 25, no diploma or GED means a restricted license (work and other essential transportation — no pleasure driving). At the same time, our schools must pursue excellence. Math and science classes and advance placement programs must be encouraged, promoted, and expanded. Our future depends on the excellence of today’s students, and our Legislature must fund the pursuit of excellence. Law Enforcement and Facilities Everyone seems to agree that the ultimate solution to the national drug problem depends on educatior and changed attitudes regarding drug consumption. Until that happens, however, we | Opinion have to protect our children and the community through effective law enforcement. Our police departments, prosecutors, courts, probation and parole offices must be supported and given the tools needed to do their jobs properly. Our prisons and jails must be adequate to serve community needs. This includes adequate juvenile detention facilities. As an example of a pressing need, there is no juvenile detention facility located in this district or anywhere in the region. Hundreds of man hours are wasted monthly transporting juvenile offenders to and from facilities as far away as Bristol. As a former Commonwealth’s Attorney, I know how hard our law enforcement community works to keep us safe and protected. They deserve our support and the legislative funding necessary to do their jobs. These are my views on some of the critical issues facing this district. There are more to be addressed, and I will do so in the course of the campaign. In closing, I want to take issue with a premise set forth in the “issues” editorial I referred to: what is, the notion that a delegate’s role is simply to make laws. I view the delegate’s responsibility as much more. The delegate is a community leader, the district’s representative and spokesman in Richmond, and its advocate before State agencies and the Executive Branch. We are in competition with 99 i other districts throughout the State for funding and services. When our district has a need, it is our delegate’s job to get results from the State for our constituents. I started the Air and Water Pollution Hotline because there was no means for getting the many complaints and reports of local citizens to the State agencies responsible for enforcement. I was, in effect, doing the delegate’s job, and I will continue to perform in this manner after I am elected. Mr. Crump is the Democratic nominee for the 31st District seat in Virginia’s House of Delegates, which ■ includes Rappahannock County. He is the attorney for the Town of Front Royal and a resident of Flint Hill. Lost crops eligible for ASCS aid Farmers suffering from 1989 crop losses due to disaster conditions beyond their control will soon be eligible to sign up for disaster benefits. Applications will be handled through the Rappahannock County ASCS office. Signup for the 1989 program will begin Sept. 15 and end April 2, 1990. Disaster applications may be filed once a farmer has completed harvest of his crops. If the crops failed or if the farmer was prevented from planting crops and a later crop was planted on the same acreage, a disaster application may be filed upon completion of the later crop. In cases where the entire crop failed or was prevented from being planted, and no later crop was planted, an application may be filed any time during the signup period. County ASCS offices will process payments as quickly as possible after producers provide the following forms and information: CCC-441, Application for 1989 Disaster Benefits; ASCS-578, Report of Acreage; ASCS-574, Application for Disaster Credit; ASCS-658, Record of Production and Yield; AD-1026, Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation Certification; CCC-440, Certification of Crop Insurance; CCC502, Farm Operating Plan. Expedited payments will be issued either 15 days after the complete application has been filed or Sept. 15, whichever is later, to producers who have harvested their 1989 crops or who did not replant, failed, and prevented planted acreage to another crop. These expedited payments will be issued to producers who provided the information listed above by Sept. 30. Producers who sign up after Sept. 30 will be paid within 30 days of the date the county committee is furnished all necessary documentation and determines all eligibility requirements are met. Producers will qualify for disaster payments if losses exceed: (1) 35 percent of expected production for participating crops with 1989 crop insurance. (2) 40 percent of expected production for participating crops without 1989 crop insurance. (3) 45 percent of expected production for soybeans and sunflowers. (4) 50 percent of expected production for nonparticipating pro gram crops and nonprogram crops. In determining crop losses, all marketable production from the farm must be counted regardless of quality or price received. For example, many Virginia farmers had a near normal wheat yeild but the crop was of very low quality and had to be sold for feed. While there was an economic loss, there will be no disaster payment because the productiQn was too high to qualify for payment. Producers must contact the Rappahannock County ASCS Office before any disaster affected crop is destroyed. For further information call 675-3616.

The watermelon patch By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Our vegetable garden is a joint effort. My wife, Julia, runs it as a minimum-work project by spreading thick hay over the area in the fall and letting Mother Nature do the rest. The hay beds down into a fertile mulch, and the weeds are smothered. The digging underneath is done by worm-power. Earthworms thrive under the mulch and turn the soil over. The only thing one has to do in the spring is pull the hay apart and drop in a seed. Some weeds do grow in the hay, but these are easy to pull. The hard part of the work for Julia is reading all the catalogues to get just the right variety of seed. My part comes in putting the soil under the hay in the first place. I dig out from under the house to make the gardening terraces. Since this is the Blue Ridge, what I am digging into is Precambrian rock, dating back some 800 million years. Once upon a time, two granite sheets rubbed together during earthquake upheavals, and what was left over was a slate-like, crumbly rock. ■ No one believes me when I tell them, but this soft rock comes out gpeen when you hit it with the pickax, and then, after being in the fresh air and rain for a few weeks, it turns into a fine red soil. Whatever seed Julia plants in it makes the first roots this soil has ever seen. When I go under the house, she says 1 am working in my “soil mine.” One year, Julia selected a certain type of watermelon, and planted three seeds in May. I had never tasted watermelon until I came to America. They don't grow too well Perspective FORMED IH 1933 FROM CllPEFE: AND mWDFD91NEIMIM» river. HE*D»»TW DF ill THIS CM*”' J in England, and I didn’t know much about them. Julia, herself, knew only what the catalogue said — there would be mature fruit in 92 days, red inside, and very sweet — and so both of us were quite surprised at what happened in the course of the summer. Those three seeds germinated and took off to a fast start. Green tendrils ran out in all directions across the hay, green leaves sprang up, and yellow flowers opened under the leaves. In due time, small bumps appeared, and the future watermelons swelled in the sun and the rain. The vines wriggled much further than we expected. At first sight, visitors thought we had planted a new type of ground cover. The tendrils wrapped around the gladioli stems, crossed between the row of sweet corn, and penetrated under the ornamental shrubs. The leaves hung on the stalks like an army of green parasols, edge-to-edge. In the heat of August, a young boy visited us and stood amazed. Then he ran along the vines, counting the watermelons, and testing the weight of the ones he could lift. He shouted back from the bottom of the garden: “Hey, look! One’s gone right through the fence, and it’s got a big melon on the end!” When the time came to harvest the crop, we made sure that our young August visitor got the biggest watermelon — green striped, but more round than long. It sounded like a drum when you thumped the outside, and on the inside it was red and juicy, with white seeds, just as the catalogue had promised. It weighed in at 43 lbs. But what do you do when you have an unexpected bumper crop? We couldn’t eat them all, and it was too late to work out a contract with a supermarket. We decided to spread happiness among our friends. We pulled the melons off the vines, and staggered with each one to the car to drop them off at the various houses. Some friends were at home, so we were able to explain what had happened. For those who were away, we put a sticker on the watermelon — “With compliments,” etc. On the first delivery round, we. had trouble. The melons rolled around on the back seat of the station wagon, thumping into the sides as we turned each corner. It wasn’t pleasant for us, or the produce, so we had to do something abqut it. We sat these large, rotund watermelons on the back seat, and fastened the seat belts around them. They jiggled up and down over the bumps, but they didn’t roll around any more. The watermelons were praised by most of our friends. They were eating large slices for days, and giving the extras away to their friends. Ah one house the melon was placed in the refrigerator (it took up a whole shelf), and was still good three weeks later. It was rated by that household as “The best we ever tasted.” The one that we ate ourselves lived up to all that was said in the catalogue, except that it had a few cracks inside owing to the fast rate of growth. On the negative side, one watermelon was left with its sticker on the back doorstep too long, and was molested by an animal — a woodchuck, no doubt. One or two neighbors asked if the melons were really ripe, which surprised us because they thumped like a drum, and tasted so sweet. Apparently, they were puzzled by the white seeds, and thought that watermelons are ripe when the seeds go black. We had expected black seeds too. Ah, well — there is always another year — what one doesn't do right in one season can be corrected in the next. Julia and I decided that it would be worth it to do the whole thing again, with improvements. Next time she would put in two seeds, not three, and we figured that there should be a watermelon recommended in one of the catalogues which was as good as the previous selection, but which would have the traditional black seeds when it ripened. So it was “back to the catalogues for Julia,” and back to the soil mine forme. In campaign, race is an unspoken issue By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer There is an unspoken issue in the 1989 Virginia gubernatorial campaign, one that ferments beneath the surface and whose impact is uncertain. A person’s race should make no difference in an election. The only standards should be the philosophy and qualifications of a particular candidate. Having said that, though, the significance of the current campaign for governor is obvious since Democrat L. Douglas Wilder could become the first black ever elected as the chief executive of any state. And in a southern state such as Virginia, where just 30 years ago segregation was the norm, it would be less than truthful to suppose there is not some lingering racial prejudice. Republican nominee J. Marshall Coleman, who has been sharply critical of the Massive Resistance era and who got substantial black support when he was elected attorneygeneral, would never seek to use race as an issue in the campaign. -. He has said the only valid issue is which candidate has the vision and programs to guide the Old Dominion during the first four years of a new decade. Nobody could dispute that assessment, be they Republicans or Democrats. Yet quietly, almost in whispers, some political observers seek to measure what factor, if any, race A’ill be in determining the election’s outcome. After the Greekfest trouble in Virginia Beach over Labor Day weekend some were saying privately that the fact large numbers of blacks were involved might hurt Wilder. This assessment came despite Wilder’s strong statement that no form of law breaking could be tolerated in Virginia. ' Wilder’s presence on the gubernatorial ballot draws more national attention to the election than would ordinarily be the case, for should he become governor he would be the nation’s highest ranking elected .(slack official. > Since the time of his historic election to the State Senate, becoming Jhe first black to serve there in modem times, Wilder has made clear that he has no use for racial politics. * He reached a quick accomodation ■with the late Sen. Edward Willey, Vho was the other senator from ^Richmond and one of the most powerful men in the state. The two of 3them were able to get the city what £ome thought was more than its fair ■share of state financial assistance. 2; When Wilder was nominated for lieutenant governor in 1985, he ,again said race should be of no consequence in any election in an enlightened Virginia of the 1980’s. He iiallied to this cause a collection of conservation Democrats led by Speaker of the House A.L. Philpott. j He even went to the home of a ■citizen who displayed a Confederate 'flag in his yard and got a nice cam paign donation from that individual who obviously still had fond memories of the Old South. Some pundits say they hear reports that there are Democrats who won't back Wilder. because they think he is too liberal. There are suspicions in some quarters that at least part of that thinking may be attributed to the color of Wilder’s skin. Just as George Bush, with the help of Lee Atwater, did to Michael Dukakis, Coleman is calling Wilder a liberal at heart who started taking more moderate stands on issues once he set his eye on statewide office. In Coleman’s case, the strategy is obviously designed to rally conservative independents and as many Democrats as possible to his side. Few Democrats are going to publicly endorse the Republican candidate, but he will be satisfied with their silent endorsement in the privacy of the voting booth. To shore up his credentials as a centrist Democrat, Wilder frequently says he wants to carry on the legacy of the Robb-Baliles gubernatorial years. If 1985 is any indication, race won’t be a large factor in who becomes governor. Wilder will certainly get a very large majority of the black vote, but that same vote went to Robb and Babies. Whether he can attract enough white votes to win is the key question.

Circus in Amissville Sept. 19 Pretty girls soaring above on the flying trapeze, acrobats performing handstands on high pedestals, trained animals obeying their trainers’ every command, clowns cavorting about the three rings, magicians displaying mystical wonders, spinning objects whirling from the hands of the jugglers, the smell of popcorn and cotton candy all blended to the accompaniment of a special rousing beat of music are mixed under a huge Big Top to bring Circus Day to the communities of America. Roberts Bros. Three Ring Circus will perform in Amissville on Tuesday, Sept. 19 at the Fire Department Grounds on U.S. Rt. 211 with performances scheduled for 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. The show is sponsored by The Amissville Ruritan Club, according to Charlie Priest, chairman of the event. The circus is crammed with entertainment for every age group and presented at reasonable prices for family participation. Advance sale tickets are less expensive than tickets sold at the circus on show day and will be sold by volunteer members of the Ruritan Club with proceeds going toward a community center building at the Club’s Stuart Field. Tickets are also available from area merchants. In a montage of some 20 acts in the two hours'of entertainment are featured performances like Ramon Espanya, “The Man Who Stands on One Finger”; Christina Schreiber, one of the few lady elephant trainers in the circus world; Ron and Robin Dykes, high in the top of the Big Top performing on the aerial cradle; Brian LaPalme, Ringmaster and master of the magic illusion; Brent DeWitt, comedy cyclist; clowns Rod0 and Slim; Yvonne Stevens and her trained dogs. Music is under the direction of Bud Manley. This year is the sixteenth annual tour of Roberts Bros. Circus, which opens its season in mid-March in or near its home town of Sarasota, Florida. With rare exception it performs in a different town each day, seven days a week. Arriving in “today’s town” in the morning, the Big Top is erected between 9 a.m. and noon.medy cyclist; clowns Rod-0 and Slim; Yvonne Stevens and her trained dogs. Music is under the direction of Bud Manley. This year is the sixteenth annual tour of Roberts Bros. Circus, which opens its season in mid-March in or near its home town of Sarasota, Florida. With rare exception it performs in a different town each day, seven days a week. Arriving in “today’s town” in the morning, the Big Top is erected between 9 a.m. and noon. The show route takes the circus to 18 eastern states from Florida to Maine and back home again, traveling 100 miles or less each day. The tour ends back home in early November. By then the circus will have visited more than 180 communities and covered around 30,000 miles. People in general and childrens’ field trips especially are invited to come to the circus lot in the morning to watch the Big Top go up. A special circus tour guide will conduct groups around the circus lot, explain what’s going on and introduce them to the animals. The versatility of members of the circus troupe is inspiring, a circus spokesman noted. “The pretty lady you see later in the day high above your head on the flying trapeze is, not only a housewife and mother in her traveling trailer home, but also has many other responsibilities around the circus in preparation for the show and the maintainance of props, costumes and equipment. The handsome guy you see as ringmaster, magician and fire-eater is treated well by the entire company — he’s the show cook, turning out 150 meals a day,” he said. Animals on the show get very special attention. Every one is groomed daily; their spacious living quarters are kept spotlessly clean; and their special diets are catered to by the show purchasing agent whose daily task is searching each day for the right kind of hay, the special formula feeds and other rations which animal appetites demand. The Roberts Bros. Circus is owned and operated by the Earl family, all born and raised in the circus tradition with another generation growing “in the wings.” If you. go on the lot and ask for Mrs. Earl — you’re in trouble. There are four of them. The circus enjoys the sponsorship of a wide variety of oiv ganizations during its seven month! tour. Service organizations like Ki-; wanis, Rotary, Lions and Exchange' Clubs, volunteer fire companies,~ Chambers of Commerce, schools and churches make up much of the list, rl In each case the sponsors make! the most on their advance sale of! tickets, although they receive a part' of the revenue from every ticket sold^ in their community. “The fundraising activities <Jf such groups is taking on added inj-* portance as state and federal fundp* for local projects dwindles,” the cirv cus spokesman said. * J For that reason, tickets sold ii£ advance are offered at reducedf, rates. Through their tour the circife raises literally 100’s of thousands <JV dollars for local projects,” he added; j Clarks attend foxhound field trial On Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Clark and Misty Hitt attended the twenty-fifth annual Northern Viginia Foxhound Field Trial and Bench Show' held at Hawfield Grange in Orange County.

Prayer is the Life-Line of the Christian. Just like the little baby inside their mothers womb, draws what it needs to live on, through the cord that joins it to their mother. The baby receives all it needs from the mother, and its life is sustained through this Life-Line between God and us. Through it we receive what we need to sustain our life and to make it strong and healthy. A good example of this is Mark 11:24, where Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, whatever things you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." Through prayer and faith we can receive what we need to live the Christian life, and to live victorious in this life. God's word is full of promises that He has given us, for this life in which we live. So through prayer and faith we can draw on these promises to make us strong in the Lord. God's word covers every need and situation that would confront us in this world. Through this Life-Line of prayer and faith, we can receive healing for our sick bodies, we can receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, we can receive wisdom and direction for our lives and we can receive strength both spiritually and physically. Through the Life-Line of prayer the Christian has sweet fellowship with the Father of God. Through prayer the Holy Spirit reveals to us the word of God! The praying Christian will not be defeated because through the Life-Line of prayer he can receive what he needs to see him through to victory. If you have never been born-again, when you get saved and become a child of God you too can have prayer as your Life-Line to keep and sustain you in this life.

DIANE RELF Rappahannock New« Contributing Writer For added floral interest in perennial beds and borders, incorporate plants which bloom in fall. The plants featured below are hardy perennials which you will want to try in your landscape for late season color. Fall asters, often called Michaelmas daisies, bloom during autumn in shades of pink, blue, and white. Use masses of white between blue cultivars to heighten their impact. Taller varieties (up to six feet) may be planted to hide fences or as a background for lower perennials. They should be stacked or tied to the fence. Shorter asters (as low as six inches) do well in low borders and rock gardens. Asters are at home anywhere from a naturalistic planting to the side of a barn or garage. They can be used effectively in perennial borders. Divide large clumps in spring and reset plants in your border. Asters grow best in full sun, but will bloom brightly in partial shade. Plants grow rapidly in almost any soil. Many cultivars of chrysanthemums are hardy, but they do not always live through a hard winter without some protection. Mums sold as flowering house plants are often not hardy. Even hardy varieties may require such a long, warm season to flower that you rarely get blooms. So it is best to start with chrysanthemum divisions which have overwintered successfully in your locality. Get them from friends or buy cultivars from garden centers and nurseries. To increase the plant’s ability to overwinter, mums should be cut back to within a few inches of the ground after a hard freeze and covered with evergreen boughs. Mums are at their best where autumns are long and warm. They are easy to grow and will flower for many weeks. They come in all colors except blue. Varieties vary widely in height, flower size and form, and time of bloom. Low growing “cushion” mums average 15 inches in height and require the least work. For maximum bushiness, all but the cushion types are pinched back until mid-July. Pinch out the soft growing tip of each shoot when it reaches four to six inches in length. If you have a lot of plants, use garden shears to top them. When plants get crowded in two to three years, divide mums in spring and reset them about two feet apart. Cushion mums are best divided yearly. Mums like fertile soil. Mix rotted manure or fertilizer with the soil when you set the plants. Shasta daisies are really a type of chrysanthemum. They do best in areas with cool summers and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Light shade is helpful in hot locations. White blooms with yellow centers grace the plants in summer and fall. Remove spent flower heads to keep blossoms coming. Fall varieties can be kept bushy by pinching back or shearing as is done for other mums. This produces smaller flowers in greater number. Divide plants every other spring for best growth. Fall blooming anemones, collectively known as Japanese anemones, put on their floral show from late summer until frost. Like early season anemones, Japanese anemones display a vivid profusion of mauve, rose, pink and white blossoms. Flowers are borne on leafless stalks 15 inches to 4 feet tall. Blooms last a long time on the plant, but flowers are unreliable as cut flowers. Japanese anemones are hardy perennials. A light organic mulch such as shredded bark will protect the roots in cold areas in winter. In rich, sandy loam, anemones spread and can be used in naturalizing. In areas with heavier soil, they tend to remain in clumps. Well-drained garden soil amended with peat or leafmold provides a satisfactory root environment. Plants prefer a slightly acid soil. A sheltered location with filtered sunlight is ideal for Japanese anemones, but w here summers are cool, they can take full sun. Consider using them as border plants, in rock gardens, and in open soil near deciduous trees. The roots dislike being disturbed so the original site should be carefully chosen.

Cooking with Stir-frying is easy and delicious Stir-fry foods are not only fun and easy to prepare, but good for you, nutritionally speaking. The nice thing about stir-frying is that any and everything goes — if there is meat, it can be as plentiful or skimpy as you wish, together with a variety of fresh vegetables. Of all the positives going for stirfrying, the greatest appeal of these dishes is the taste. Don’t let this type of cooking overwhelm you if you’ve never tried stir-frying. It is an ancient Oriental cooking technique that can be easily A learned and imitated. Traditionally, the utensil used for making stir-fries is the wok, but it isn’t necessary. A large heavy skillet works nicely as does a large, heavy pan, preferably with deep sides so that the food may be kept moving constantly to allow the ingredients to cook as quickly and evenly as possible. Use high heat to ensure quick cooking. A long-handled spoon or spatula is used to frequently lift and turn food with a folding motion. Push food away from center of pan. After all food has been cooked and moved away from the center, it’s time to add the thickening mixture to the center of the pan. Let it cook and bubble slightly before stirring in the other ingredients. Before attempting any stir-fry, one tip to keep in mind is to be sure that everything is cut and arranged separately, in order, within easy reach, because once you start stirfrying, it is best not to stop. There can be as many stir-fry combinations as there is imagination. Stir-fry is a wonderful way to use small amounts of vegetables and meat in combination to feed a family. For something different in stirfrying try preparing “Three-Spice Wok Oil” ahead of time to use as the cooking oil. Three-Spice Wok Oil Makes 1 cup 1 cup peanut oil 4 thin slices fresh ginger root 4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed 1 tsp. crushed dried red pepper flakes 1 whole dried hot red chili, optional In saucepan, combine oil, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes.

Journal Beating the odds, Lom-Bar-Dy's lives again Finding an eating establishment with atmosphere, reasonable prices and flavor often means traveling outside the county or sacrificing the price. The new Lom-Bar-Dy’s Diner hhs changed this. “We have people waiting 25 or so minutes for a table, Kate Martin, Lom-Bar-Dy’s newest daytime proprietor, cook, waitress and hostess said, speaking of the tiny one robm diner located on U.S. 211 in Amissville. Six or eight tables crowd into the tiny dining room beside a counter and a few stools. “We can only seat 25 or 30 at a time,” she added with a smile. '■ Seven months ago, Kate’s bosses, Maggie Thielen and Arlene Mitchell of Arlington, signed a sixmonth lease to re-open Lom-BarDy’s Diner as a restaurant. With no experience and told the “odds were against” them, Ms. Mitchell said such success was not anticipated. But they decided to try anyway. Ms. Mitchell, presently employed with the United States Department of Agriculture, has owned a weekend cabin at Rappahannock Lakes for five years and noticed Lom-Bar-Dy’s several times on her way to and from her work in Arlington. “I was looking for a business venture and Maggie was interested so we threw a party and invited our friends and played ‘restaurant’ for a weekend,” Ms. Mitchell said with a smile adding that at the party a market survey was conducted on the guests, asking their opinions of food, the three menu items offered, prices and location. “It was really too much work,” she said of their venture, adding they decided to pack it all in and forget the diner business. Amissville residents and local customers would be sorry if they hadn’t given it a second try. “Now, we have people lobbying to get us to move to Washington or Flint Hill or somewhere else in the county,” Ms. Thielen said, adding that their faithful Amissville diners discourage such talk and beg them to stay. She added the diner’s “casual atj mosphere” — which she defined as [ no frills, like an assortment of differ, ent cutlery, plastic table cloths and jf requests for customers to make runs to the local grocery store for eggs or milk — makes the customers feel comfortable and maybe what keeps them coming back. . “They know we are far from perfect,” Ms. Thielen said, adding that often when things get backed up customers will help them out by pouring their own coffee or clearing their own table. “People walk in here and feel at home,” she added, motioning to the ante room where stacks of magazines rest on a table and an old jukebox sits in the corner. “It was real touchy, at first,” she said, explaining a new place is always questioned. “Finally, one person from a road would come to dinner. The next night, the whole road stops by.” Local diners keep the place busy. Ms. Mitchell said there are numerous people in Amissville needing a !)lace to get a quick sandwich or ooking for a nice dinner place. • “We don’t get that many tour Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G Currie PLANNING THEIR MENU, Lom-Bar-Dy’s operators, from left, Maggie Thielen, Arlene Mitchell and Kate Martin are finding unexpected success at the small Amissville diner. ists,” Ms. Martin said, adding that most of the morning crowd is local people on their way to work. “Lunch time is often the same people,” she said, adding that one man waits, sleeping in his truck, in the parking lot for the place to open each weekend morning. Lom-Bar-Dy’s Diner — open at 5:30 a.m. for breakfast and until 2 p.m. for lunch and each Friday and Saturday night at 5 p.m. for dinner — is proving to be successful. The co-owners said at first it was hard because they were trying to be cooks, bookkeepers, hostesses, waitresses and dishwashers all in one. For five and a-half-months, Ms. Thielen, presently employed with the Enviromental^ Protection Agency, washed all the dishes. “I remember thinking with each dish washed that I went to college so I would not have to wash dishes for a living,” she said with laughter, adding that since then the co-owners have hired a local high school student to wash dishes. Though the team is expanding, Ms. Mitchell still does 90 percent of the cooking. “I like to cook and be creative,” she said, adding with Kate’s arrival two-and-a-halfmonths ago, daytime cooking responsibilities are shared. Ms. Mitchell said they stick to diner food — pork chops, homemade barbecue chicken, sweet rolls and old fashioned hamburgers — but add an international special as often as possible. To whip up the weekend special, Ms. Mitchell hurries to leave her city job, which she considers a “nice counter-balance” to her restaurant work, and arrives in her diner’s kitchen in time to prepare international cuisine featuring Mexican, African or Indonesian specials. As previous Peace Corp volunteers, all three women have traveled Rappahannock Players present 'Lion in Winter' Their Royal Highnesses, King Henry II and Queen Eleanor of Medieval England, King Philip Augustus of France, Sir Richard the Lionhearted will be visiting Rappahannock County this fall. The Rapjpahannock Players, in cooperation tvith RAAC, will present James Goldman’s “The Lion in Winter” on stage at the Gay Street Theatre, in Washington. “The Lion in Winter” was made Ifamous when produced as a movie starring Katherine Hepburn and 'Peter O’Toole. Ms. Hepburn won the Oscar for her performance. -Based on historical evidence, this play is the story of a King and Queen .whose fiery relationship is dissected as they plot, love, cheat, connive and try to politically devour each other.

Due to the adult nature of this play, parental discretion is advised. Lecture on preservation Do you have a historical house that you are not quite sure how to go about preserving? The Rappahannock Historical Society may have just the man for you. Hugh C. Miller, Director of the Department Historic Resources of the Commonwealth of Virginia, will be coming to the county on Sunday, Nov. 5. He has asked that Historical Society members and other interested people make a list of questions and concerns about historic preservation which he will address at the fall meeting of the Historical So ciety. If your do have a particular question, whether if be about your own house, church, store or graveyard, please call Mrs. Edna Metzinger, 987-8161; Helen Holschuh, 937-4721, Cathy Knuepfer, 675-3744; of Lucia Kilby 987-8741; or drop by the Historical Society building on Gay St. in Washington and discuss it with us. Fall hours at the building are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. everyday. Meanwhile, reserve Sunday, Nov. 5 at 3 p.m. to come and hear Hugh Miller speak. internationally. “We weren’t sure if people out here would appreciate an international meal but now they stop by to see what’s on for the weekend.” “We don’t know,” Ms. Mitchell said, adding soon the lease will be up and a decision concerning their position at Lom-Bar-Dy’s will need to be made. Ms. Mitchell and Ms. Thielen rent the tiny diner from Irva Poe, present owner and diner proprietor for 38 years. Now, the six months is nearing its end and a new lease, a purchase or a move is eminent. The new owners haven’t changed the name, the diner motif or the interior much from earlier days, just added a few magazines for customer’s reading and an old Wurlitzer jukebox. “I always wanted an excuse to buy a jukebox,” Ms. Mitchell said with pride. Librarian Continued from page 1 it was a cultural education because of the strong Cajun influence in that part of Louisiana.” Before earning her masters Mrs. Green worked as an elementary school librarian. While in that job she tried to work with the town library, but found them resistant to change. ‘“That’s a good idea,’ they would say, ‘but it would be a lot more work,’ and nothing came of any of my suggestions. I like the attitude of the people here,” she said. “This is a progressive area.” During her first day on the job, last Friday, she said she was mainly interested in “getting . the routine down.” Her first major responsibility will be preparing the annual report to be submitted to the state. This will involve the budget, staffing, circulation figures and reports on books added to or withdrawn from the library’s collection. Fortunately she has copies of former annual reports to refer to. She learned about the job when Rappahannock’s Library Board, un able to find a candidate qualified for the job at the proposed salary, had to advertise the position again. Her husband pointed the ad out to her, and suggested this position might be her opportunity to pick up her career again. It had been on hold since her move to a pocket subdivision near Airlie in Fauquier County. She put in an application and came up for an interview. “I was so enthusiastic after meeting the board,” she said. “The board has a pretty good idea of what it wants to do. It is geared to expanding the facilities.” Mrs. Green said she had no changes in the library’s operation to recommend yet. “The library is well run,” she said. However, she will be making notes on how things are working and make recommendations to the board. “The timing for changes will be when we are ready to move to the new building,” she said. “It’s important to be sure the space will accommodate all the programs we will have,” she added. In the meantime she is enjoying commuting to Rappahannock from Fauquier, instead of joining all those commuting the other way from Warrenton. She is enjoying being able to “dig in the dirt” on her half-acre lot. WSA Continued from page 1 The members decided to get bids for pumping based both on the number of tanks pumped and on volume pumped. In other business, the Authority heard from Mr. Woodard that $45,000 in WSA funds had been invested in two certificates of deposit, one a 30-month certificate and the other a one-year certificate. They voted to have him withdraw $10,000 from the checking account to purchase another certificate of deposit for a six-month term. They also voted to reduce the rates on Mr. Woodard’s Faith Mountain Company to two equivalent dwelling units. That reduction, Mr. Woodard explained, became possible sincel the employees from the mail order and manufacturing part of that business are now working at its new warehouse on U.S. 211 at the Shade Road and no more than two employees will be working in the retail store in Sperry ville.

Gender barrier broken on RCHS soccer team By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Wliter In 1982, when soccer was first added to Rappahannock’s sports schedule, Marie Davis wanted to try out for the team. That was all right with Coach Glenn Davis, but when he asked Principal Robert Chappell, Marie was turned down. “I thought at that time that while it was all right for girls and boys to play soccer together as elementary students, by high school when some of the boys are such big bruisers, it wasn’t wise. I as principal and John Toth, as athletic director, said, ‘No’,” Mr. Chappell said recently. “But that’s why I instituted the volleyball team. Because at that time girls had nothing except cheerleading in the winter, and nowr with softball added the situation is more or less even,” he explained. Marie practiced with the team and kept statistics at the games. During her high school career she also did cheerleading, basketball statistics, drama, sang in the chorus and was involved with numerous other school activities. “I went to the state track meet and represented the school in discus and shot put. I was in everything,” she said. But she did not get to play on her school’s soccer team. Last spring Celeste Waggoner and Shannon Sause decided they wanted to go out for soccer this fall. They approached Coach Richard Dietz, and he told them it was all right with him. Since there is no comparable sport for girls, he said, they could try. When they approached the school administration, they were successful. Principal John Toth said, “Any time you do not offer a comparable team in girls’ sports, a girl can try out for the boys’ team as though she were a boy. If she can meet the standards of hustle and physical conditioning, I have no problem as long as the girls are taught methods of protecting themselves.” When he was told that Mr. Chappell said he had agreed with the 1982 decision not to let girls try out for soccer, he said, “I don’t remember that, but if he says I agreed with him, I agreed with him. Our only concern was the girls’ safety.” Mr. Toth said he would now encourage girls to try more things. He would especially like to see more girls taking shop and technology classes. “It’s time we start changing our sexist ideas of roles. Women are a wasted resource in our society,” he added. So since mid-August Shannon and Celeste have been practicing with the soccer team, and in last Wednesday’s scrimmage against Seton of Manassas, they played the entire first half. “Those girls have proven to me that they belong out there,” Coach Dietz said after the scrimmage. “It was a very physical game, and they held their own.” Marie’s chance came a day later, w'hen a much less formal scrimmage was held between this year’s varsity team and alumni from soccer teams going back to that 1982 team. Marie played for the alumni, while Celeste and Shannon played for the varsity. “I thought aerobics kept you in shape," Marie said as she left the field for a brief water break, “but it’s not like this.” She said she hadn’t played soccer since the 1983 season ended. The three females were great favorites with the small crowd that gathered to watch the scrimmage. “Go, Marie,” “Shoot, Shannon,” and “All right. Celeste” came from the benches and hillside. At half time it was decided that the alumni would play bare chested, while the varsity played in shirts. “Take it off, Marie,” someone yelled. But another spectator cut in with, “That’s OK, everyone knows which team she’s on. The varsity players were clearly in better shape than the alumni; they also had many more substitutes available. “Scott, do you want to play wing? It’s shady over here,” Jim Racer called out, trying to get a break from the constant running. “Doug, you said you’d take the ball and go. You’ve had it twice and done nothing,” apprentice statistician Alice Reeve called out. “For some reason everyone else is faster than me,” Doug McCabe replied. But the younger varsity players were impressed with the veterans, some of whom have been helping with practices since the pre-season started. “They’re tough,” one complained to the coach. “They’re just a bunch of old guys we pulled out of a bar,” Coach Dietz reassured him. “Does anyone want a sub?” a player on the sidelines called out, hoping to get back into the game. “Sure, make mine Italian,” was one of the replies. It was a fun afternoon, with one bit of sour grapes. “They won’t let guys try out for girls’ volleyball,” Goalie Philip Daczewitz complained. And that’s true. Boys are not allowed, by Virginia High School League rules, to play on girls’ teams. So what lies in the future? Per notice to tiii: rufii.ic of a joint APPLICATION BY OLD DOMINION ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE AND VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY TO CONSTRUCT TWO NEW GENERATING FACILITIES - CASE NO.

Exchange Continued from page 1 An avid rider, Emma has found life in the country quite to her liking. Her host family, Richard and Jeanie McNear, have horses providing Emma with the opportunity to ride daily. “I’ve even been on a fox hunt,” she said. But, the 16-year-old senior has found the humidity and heat a surprise. “The air is very clear in Sweden,” she said, adding with surprise in her voice that she had “never seen so many mountains and so much green” before. The heat and humidity was a surprise for Ulrike too. Used to the cool temperatures of the Baltic, Ulrike, also an island girl, described her island as, with some hesitation, searching for the exact pronunciation of each word, “very flat with no woods.” She added the Woodville farm she has joined with Jim and Carolyn Manwaring is familiar to her as she lives on a farm in her native country. Farm animals may be commonplace to Ulrike but snakes, turtles and several other types of animals are not. “I’ve only ever seen a snake in the zoo,” she said, and adding with surprise in her voice that her new family has a boa for a pet. Snakes are not common housepets but dogs and cats are. Kentaro Otani of Japan has found even these unusual. “I live in an apartment and we don’t have dogs and cats,” the articulate 16-year-old Rappahannock junior said, adding that his host family, Richard and Pat Helmer, have both and horses, another new animal for Ken, a native of Tokyo. Ken was very surprised to travel with his family to North Carolina in a car. “Everyone has a car and you never take the train, here,” he said with some surprise, familiar himself with only train travel. And he is quite impressed with the “easy life” American students have in comparison to his Japanese peers. “We spend more time studying and even have school on Saturday,” he said, adding that he was surprised to see students working while still attending school. “Studying is the most important part of our time,” he said. Each student has found schools and school subjects are different around the world. Isabella said that though she has o understood most of her new teachers, subjects are often taught differently or presented differently. “Sometimes I get confused,” she said with a smile. Emma remarked that Swedish school, lasting just nine years, was “more strict. We are not allowed to speak in the classrooms and we work much harder for a good mark.” She said once she returns to her native country she will retake this year “at gynasisum, what you call high school.” Sports are not commonplace in Swedish schools as with Japanese schools. With his new found free time, Ken will play soccer for Rappahannock. “I have played for six years in Japan, year round,” he said with pride. Ken is not the only new soccer player the Rappahannock team will welcome. Francisco Vicente of Seville, Spain has joined the team, also. Moving from a city of over a million to a village the size of Washington was quite a surprise for the tall 18-year-old Spanigh high school graduate. “Whenever I go someplace with my new family,” David and Marie Davis of Washington, “I just say ‘it’s so nice, it’s so nice.” Francisco, a senior at Rappahannock County High School, hopes to earn an American scholarship and attend a college in the United States next year. He explained that to obtain a well-respeeted professional career in Spain, a college degree is essential. “I w'anted to come to the United States to improve my English and learn about the American people,” he said adding that our country is presented as attractive and interesting in his native Spain. He said he chose the U.S. over nearby western Europe due to his brother’s encouragement after hi visit to Idaho. “And,” he said with a slow smile “I want to see an NBA game.” Hi laughed. Sergio Arroyo has also finishe< school in his native Mexico but wil attend school here as a senior. “I al ways wanted to go to an Americai high school,” he said, adding that h< really wanted a school that offeree football, though once he arrived ir Rappahannock, he liked the area toe much to leave. Coming from a small port towr on the coast of Mexico, Sergio has found many things different. “Your houses are so far apart and so different,” he said. The 18-year-old hopes the year will help him come to some decision on future college plans and make him familiar with the types of religion availabe in the United States. “We are 95 percent Catholic,” he said. “You have so many different faiths.” Grant Continued from page 1 came up ahead of us in terms of needs. It would be premature to say what is going to happen,” he added. John Hooff, chairman of the Friends of the Rappahannock Library, said the Friends had prepared a letter which would go out to 2,500 people in the county asking for contributions in the form of cash or pledges. The building fund has nearly $250,000 available now, including $150,000 from the sale of the current library to the Town of Washington and almost $100,000 from donations and pledges from a few individuals. The estimated cost for the library as planned is $500,000. “Actually the number of people required to come up with $100,000 was not too many. We’re hopeful we can get a few people giving sizeable donations,” he added.” Ben Venue — Executive Retreat.

As late as Labor Day weekend, Mr. Wickens said, Godwin called him several times and assured him that his money would be repaid. Godwin even went so far as to suggest a meeting on Sept. 4, Mr. Wickens said, when he would get his money, but the cafe’s manager never showed. The Cafe’s owner, Ann Rothstein (formerly Kolack), said that Godwin’s disappearance has left the corporation “many thousands” of dollars in debt and without any way. to repay its creditors. “He basically multiplied the corportion’s liabilities six times" during his tenure as mani ager, she said Tuesday. Godwin came to Washington last November in answer to a classified advertisement in the Washington Post for a short-order cook, according to individuals familiar with the Cafe’s operation during that period. He was hired to manage the cafe by Ms. Rothstein’s ex-husband, Marque Kolack. As with many of the more than one dozen people interviewed during research for this story, those individuals were willing to speak only on condition that they not be identified by name. Most of those interviewed reported that Godwin had left town owing them money, or leaving them with worthless checks, or both. Godwin’s friendly demeanor and experience in the restaurant business made him nearly instant inroads in the Washington community, where the Cafe serves as a gathering place for the residents and business owners in the town. Ms. Rothstein said that a con- i tract was negotiated for Godwin to take over management of the Cafe, while the corporation would con- i tinue its ownership of the business. ■ During the months that followed, however, Ms. Rothstein said, his management style caused a multitude of problems for the Cafe, most of which are only now, since his disappearance, coming to light. Citing possible pending legal action, and an ongoing criminal investigation, Ms. Rothstein declined to go into specific details about the problems left by Godwin. Sheriff Woodward confirmed that his office is conducting a criminal investigation into Godwin’s management practices at the Cafe, but declined to offer specific details about the investigation. Several individuals interviewed reported that local teenagers employed by the Cafe had been left with payroll checks returned for insufficient funds, or had not been paid for their final weeks’ work at the Cafe. Rappahannock News General Manager Barbara Burke said that the newspaper was among the businesses owed money, having not been paid in full for the advertising placed by Godwin. Over and over, people taken in by Godwin’s likeable manner said, “He seemed like such a nice guy. I believed him.’’ Over and over, they continued to believe him, even as his checks began to come back for insufficient funds, or payments were promised and not delivered. “He put me off,” said one creditor, “just like he did everyone else.” “There’s no fool like an old fool,” Mr. Wickens said. “I believed him, I liked him, I trusted him.” Explaining his interest in Godwin’s venture, he continued, “I believe we need a restaurant in that location to serve the residents of this town. I have ione everything that I can to support that, through several ownerships.” Referring to the stories circulatng about teenagers who were allegedly left without paychecks, Mr. iViekens said, “If indeed he cheated 14-year-olds, 15-year-olds, it’s worse han what he did to the grownups, fo do something like that to little STONE HOUSE ON THORNTON RIVER on 1 acre in Sperryville.

In sorting through the stories circulating in the wake of Godwin’s disappearance, it is often difficult to separate facts from rumors. Apparently, he graduated in 1980 from Cocoa Beach High School in Florida, ranked 12th in his class with a 3.86 grade-point average. He was one of the leaders on the school’s football team, according to one person who knew his family then. One story circulating through Washington has him then attending the University of Southern California on a football scholarship. A promising future in professional football, according to the story, ended with his third knee operation. However, a telephone call to the records verification office at USC re suited in a reply that no record of a David Paul Godwin could be found in their files. The stories, unfortunately, have a sad but familiar ring to Sheriff Woodward. “You see how someone can be a fugitive and no one ever knows it. As long as they obey the law, and especially if they seem like a nice person, there’s no reason to check them out. “If there had been one warrant issued for one of the bad checks that he wrote, or if he had gotten a speeding ticket, someone would have checked him out.” But using bravado and bluster to keep everyone strung along, Sheriff Woodward said, Godwin was able to keep anyone from looking too closely at his dealings. Arid when people finally started getting suspicious, “He was slick enough that he knew when things started getting sticky that it was time for him to split. ” So far, the Sheriffs Department has no leads as to Godwin’s whereabouts. Failure to yield charged Leslie M. Sutphin, 21, of Washington, was charged with failure to yield the right of way after an accident Thursday afternoon at the intersection of U.S. 211 and U.S. 522 at Massie’s Comer. According to Trooper S.M. Knick, who investigated the accident, Mrs. Sutphin was crossing U.S. 211 headed south onto Rt. 675. She pulled her 1981 Ford 4-door from the crossover into the eastbound traffic lanes on U.S. 211, into the path of a 1984 GMC pickup in the right lane. The truck, driven by Kevin D. Walker, 18, of Viewtown, was unable to stop and hit Mrs. Sutphin’s car in the passenger side door. Mrs. Sutphin’s 22-month-old son, Mitchell A. Sutphin, was taken by Washington’s Medic 1 advanced life support ambulance to Fauquier Hospital, where he was transferred by med-evac helicopter to Fairfax Hospital. He is reported to be in stable condition with head and abdominal injuries. Mrs. Sutphin was transported to Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal by Flint Hill’s rescue squad, where she was treated for minor injuries and released. Trooper Knick said that the young child was sitting in the back seat of the car, restrained in a child safety seat. However, Mrs. Sutphin was not wearing her seat belt, and Trooper Knick charged her with failure to weara seat belt.
