Weekend weather According to the extended forecast ■ from the National Weather Service, the county is in for a spectacular weekend. Sunny skies and daytime temperatures in the 70s are predicted each day, with nighttime lows dropping into the high 40s. Fall leaf watch It's still too early to predict with certainty when the peak of fall colors in the area will be. Janet Stombock, a naturalist on the staff at Shenandoah National Park, isahd that warm sunny days are still needed i along with the cool nights to bring out the best colors. "All this rain has really messed : things up," she said. "We're still going with ; peak sometime between Oct. 5 and Oct. 20." Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON, the view east from Skyline Drive saw swirling clouds above Rappahannock, but little of the rain and winds predicted from Hurricane Hugo. By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Despite dire predictions on the 11 o’clock news last Thursday night of the impending arrival of Hurricane Hugo sometime Friday, the storm took a more westerly track and spared most of Piedmont Virginia. The county’s Local Emergency Operations Plan was implemented Thursday afternoon by chairman of the Board of Supervisors Hubert Gilkey and Sheriff John Henry Woodward after advisories from the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables, Florida predicted that the storm’s path would bring it north through Central Virginia sometime Friday. With forecasts calling for five to 10 inches of rain, winds of 30 to 50 miles per hour and gusts of 70 mph, with localized flooding likely, county officials felt the prudent course of action was to prepare for the worst, according to Emergency Services Coordinator Col. Dieter Knuepfer. The elementary school was designated as an emergency shelter, with Social Services personnel delegated to staff the shelter and provide hot food and drinks to evacuees. School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel arranged to have cafeteria workers available to assist with food preparations. The school bus garage was alerted to have buses fueled and ready to go in case large scale evacuations of entire areas were necessary. On Thursday evening’s regular fire and rescue broadcast, all county fire and rescue personnel were alerted to stand by on Friday. The Sheriff s Department also requested that all available four-wheel drive vehicles be prepared to assist in evacuations if needed. Sheriff Woodward said he had all of his deputies and dispatchers on stand-by as well in case their services were needed. Highway department MainteSee HUGO, p. 16 A Players' production features old familiar faces and new thespians By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Call The Lion in Winter a high minded historical drama. Or call it a soap opera full of that genre’s sexual intrigues and misadventures. Either way, the play which opens at the Gay Street Theatre on Sept. 29 for a two-week run brings a great story together with favorite faces for the benefit of a lucky Rappahannock audience. Everyone who remembers their eighth grade clasp in world history will recognize the characters, but the school lessons skipped the details that give some history an “R” rating. Henry II, King of England, and Eleanor of Aquitane have been married for 31 years. He’s building an empire; she’s conniving in the tower where Henry imprisoned her after she conspired to put their son, Richard, on the throne. Richard is Eleanor’s favorite of the couple’s three children. She wants him to be king, the sooner the better. He’ll grow up to be Richard the Lion-Hearted. Henry’s favorite is John, the bad guy of the Robin Hood tales. The king wants John to assume the English throne, but only after he’s ready to trade kingship for the title of Europe’s emperor. Neither Mom nor Dad has much use for Geoffrey, the youngest and least trustworthy of the untrustworthy sibling trio. Every year, King Henry lets Eleanor leave her tower prison and join the Christmas court. This is the time covered in the on-stage action of The Lion in Winter, 24 hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This is the time that Eleanor and Henry make the new moves in their continuing chess game. Here also for the game are Philip, King of France, and his sister, 23-year-old Alais, who is betrothed to Prince John and has been living with the Plantagenet family, her future-in-laws, since she was five. Queen Eleanor has raised the French princess, serving as her surrogate mother, and the French princess has returned the favor by having a seven-year-and-still-goingstrong affair with the queen’s husband. Philip is visiting the castle, his aim to either reclaim his sister’s dowry — a piece of land vital to Hen ry’s dreams of empire — or see her married to John. Henry, of course, wants to keep both his mistress and the property. The situation is further complicated by Philip’s relationship to Eleanor. She was formerly married to his father, King Louis of France; their marriage was annulled when she produced only daughters (Philip’s and Alias’s half-sisters). And there are other hidden relationships even more tangled. “It’s just like a soap opera, and the incredible thing is that it’s all true!” said Dinah Pehrson-Day, who plays Eleanor. Eleanor and Henry use the rest as pawns. They are the chief manipulators and they are both masters at the game. Despite the wrong moves commited by the pair over the years — hers treason; his infidelity — they still care for each other, and this passion influences their play. Also, the others are beginning to intrigue and make moves of their own. It’s politics, royal style, with crown and empire at stake.

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Ripened apples overflow baskets; fragrant cider simmers; a festive air settles over Sperryville’s historic district as members of the Sperryville Business Council prepare for the fifth annual Apple Harvest Festival, planned for Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., rain or shine. Businesses from the historic town’s most western edge to its eastern end mark the harvest with their free annual festival, a weekend filled with events, food, music and autumn sales, townwide. As music filters through the autumn trees, exchanging their green colors for fall’s red, yellow, burgundy and rust, apple butter bubbles at the Country Manor, quilters exhibit their handiwork at the Sperryville Emporium and Rappahannock County Extension Homemakers dish up homebaked breads, cookies and other items outside the Sperryville Antique Market. TTie aroma of hamburgers, funnel cakes, cider, sausages and fresh baked goods welcomes local residents and visiting tourists from miles around as they stop to enjoy crafts such as basket making, wreath construction or delicate decoration with eiSee FESTIVAL, p. 16 County resident may serve on Washington's ARB By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Despite a recommendation for denial from its Planning Commission, and protests from several residents, Washington’s Town Council approved the addition of one county resident to its expanded Architectural Review Board. The planners and council held a joint public hearing at the Sept. 13 meeting to hear the town’s residents’ reaction to a plan to allow one county resident to sit on the ARB, which must approve all exterior modifications and additions to buildings within the town limits. The board was created as part of the town’s designation as a historic district in 1984. Council member Ray Gooch reminded the council that two years ago the same ordinance was passed into law, but then was rescinded because it was not properly advertised. “The town is more than just a town ... it is the county seat. County em 7 sincerely believe that my neighbors should be the ones to tell me I can’t build a deck — not someone who lives outside town andean build a deck anytime he wants. ” — Mark Bailey Washington resident ployees come here, and it is the focus of activities, recreation, and cultural events, such as RAAC. “It has become the concern of the county’s residents,” Mr. Gooch continued, “that the town is drawing in within ourselves. That is not the case ... we have seen a real spirit of cooperation between the town and the county.” Town resident Mark Bailey told the council members that he is adamantly opposed to a county resident sitting on the ARB. “Anyone who regulates town property and lives should be subject to the same regulations. I sincerely believe that my neighbors should be the ones to tell me I can’t build a deck — not someone who lives outside town and can build a deck anytime he wants.” Resident Claybert Smoot added, “You are talking about getting a real estate person on. We were mistreated by one and are still feeling the effects of that. We’ve got plenty of honest real estate dealers in the county, but they would affect our lives as w^ell as yours." Council member and Planning Commission Chairman William Wickens agreed that the council had passed essentially the same measure, but that he had changed his mind, “largely because of the controversy surrounding the ARB.” Taking the argument that the town is also the county seat, Mr. Wickens proposed, the same allowance could be made for the council, to put a county resident there too. “That is a direction that I, for one, do not feel we should go in.” Evelyn Willis, the council’s representative on the ARB and the only original member remaining on the board, told the See COUNCIL, p. 16 Oliver named as National Merit Semi-finalist By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock Senior Elizabeth Oliver received notice earlier this month that she qualified as one of Virginia’s 358 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists. She joins 15,000 students nationwide in competing for 6,000 scholarships worth $23 million. The last Rappahannock County High School student to qualify was Elizabeth’s sister, Ann Oliver, who made it into the pool of finalists in 1984 but didn’t receive any scholarship money through the National Merit Scholarship system. Semi-finalists are selected on the basis of their scores on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT), which most college bound students take in their junior year. Students must get a score of at least 200 points to qualify. The number is computed by doubling the verbal score and adding the math score to it. Elizabeth’s score was 211, the result of 75 on the verbal test and 61 on the math test. About one half of one percent of students nationwide qualifty as semi-finalists. When scholarships are handed out, 1,800 students will receive $2,000 each. Another 1,300 will receive schol LIZ OLIVER arships ranging from $500 to $2,000 that are sponsored by certain companies. These scholarships go to the children of employees. Another 2,900 scholarships are sponsored by particular colleges and universities. Along with Elizabeth’s notice that she was a semi-finalist, she also received an application form that required her to list all the honors and recognitions she had received and write an autobiographical essay which includes a question about which of these honors was most significant, and another about her future plans. Of her many honors, Elizabeth is certain that being selected to attend the Governor’s School for the Gifted last summer at Virginia Tech was most meaningful. She took a class called “Science, Technology and Society.” It was a course in the “technology design process,” Liz explained. “We worked a lot in the IBM computer lab,” she said. She not only used the computers for Computer Aided Design (CAD), but also had to learn the Word Perfect work processing program for written reports. “We had a design project,” she explained. “We were See OLIVER, p. 16

After the last auction for the painting by "Marion Barry's Former Lawyer"... 3) We have been offered a sizeable amount by the representative of a third party to sell the painting outright without offering it to the public on October 1, 1989... 4) The Bureau of Indian Affairs told the gallery that they "Have been instructed" to offer us no further assistance with our research pertaining to Raymond Timothy Ironteeth... 5) No paintings by Kennedy are now on display at the JFK museum in Dorchester, Mass.

NEWS Avtex granted week's reprieve State argues delay means more pollution By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer Despite objections from the attorney general’s office that delay would result in more damage to the Shenandoah River, Circuit Court Judge T.J. Markow postponed until Wednesday, Sept. 27 a decision that could permanently close down Avtex Fibers of Front Royal Inc. Hit with its fourth state lawsuit, Avtex is back in court affer the State Water Control Board moved to immediately shut down the dilapidated rayon-manufacturing plant. State tests confirmed that the plant is continuing to pollute the Shenandoah River with PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, a highly toxic chemical found to cause cancer. The board cited as evidence samples taken from the plant that showed that Avtex was discharging PCBs from both its storm and wastewater treatment systems. Avtex is currently under court order to correct worker safety, air quality, and non-PCB related water quality violations. Requesting more time to prepare their case, Avtex attorneys argued at a hearing in Richmond Sept. 21 that data collected by Avtex conflicts with the state’s. Samples taken and tested for Avtex by Biospherics Incorporated in June reveal no detectable levels of PCBs, according to an affidavit given by Richard H. Hughes, vice president of administration at Avtex. Avtex lawyer William Gardner said that his firm had just taken the PCB case Tuesday and needed time to review the state’s data. “I do not feel that our representation of the client would be as adequate as it would be if we had a couple more weeks,” Gardner told Markow. John R. Butcher, assistant attorney general, stressed the urgency of closing the plant. “There is huge contamination of the river, and that is continuing every day," said Butcher. Although Markow refused to give Avtex lawyers the two weeks they requested, he agreed to give them until Sept. 27 to prepare their case. The urgency for closing down the plant “has to be weighed against Avtex’s right to have more time,” Markow said. But as they began to reschedule the hearing, Markow hesitated. “Mr. Butcher, I’m still uneasy. How much of an emergency is there? The numbers startle me and that’s why I’m uneasy.” “Between now and Wednesday, 3.5 pounds [of PCBs] go into the Shenandoah for your lifetime and mine,” responded Butcher. “Let’s assume they have a ease too," Markow debated. “If we shut them down now, we’ve done some irreversible harm to them. ” Hughes stated in the affadavit that should the state’s motion for a temporary injunction be granted, the plant would have to shut down permanently. A temporary shut down, which would take nearly one month to perform, would cost about $3 million, according to Hughes. Resuming operations, however, would cost an additional $30 million and would required several months. R. Claire Guthrie, deputy attorney general, asked Judge Markow to consider requiring Avtex to begin the shut down process, since the state was bearing the risk of waiting until Wednesday. Gardner responded that the company had limited financial resources available, and that funds would be “far better spent on clean-up than on plant closure. ” Mounting fines and clean-up costs have made Avtex s financial situation among the main considerations for the court. Avtex has proposed a $1.3 million clean-up plan for the PCBs found on the Avtex site. I don t understand, frankly, where the money’s coming from,” said Guthrie. Hughes stated that if Judge Markow were to order the plant closed, the judge would eliminate Avtex s only source of funding for any fines or clean-up cost that might result from the case. "I m not going to give that argument a whole lot of consideration," the judge informed the Avtex attorneys. State samples taken on Sept. 1 revealed high levels of PCB on the plant’s roof, near the loading dock and at outfalls 003 and 004. The greatest concentration of PCBs recorded was 136,000 parts per million, a figure (58,000 times the level permitted in fish by the FDA. “Certainly, we’re disappointed,” said Burt Rohrer, press secretary for the attorney general’s office, following the hearing. “We represented to the court that any delay is a serious impact to the river.” Free Virginia apple guides Now is the time to start planning an outing to pick-your-own apples, and the best way to make those plans is through the 1989 Virginia Apple Guide.

According to co-coordinator Mary Louise Bane, there will be about 400 arrangements of all sizes for sale on Oct. 21 and 22. House Tour set for Oct. 21,22 Nearing the end of September, the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington is a beehive of activity. Serving now as the workshop, on Oct. 21 and 22 the Parish Hall will be the headquarters for the Thirtythird Annual House Tour and Dried Flower Sale sponsored by the Women of Bromfield Parish. Between now and the day before the opening of the tour ladies will be making the hundreds of arrangements which will go on display and sale. Since spring the ladies have been growing flowers in their gardens for later cutting and drying. They have literally beaten the bushes to gather wild flowers of the county as well as ferns, grasses, milkweed, Joe Pie weed and many others, all to be trimmed and dried in attics and garages throughout the county. Now the harvest hangs in the Parish Hall to fill hundreds of pots, vases, baskets and other containers or to be combined with pieces of weathered wood in artistic arrangements which later will grace homes in New England, Ohio, Georgia and elsewhere. Arrangements run in size from “wee” to “wow” and make a lovely addition to the fall and winter dining table. This feature of the third weekend in October in historic Washington has become increasingly popular over the past thirty two years; those interested in dried flower arrangements are advised to come early. The other attraction for the weekend is the tour of three Rappahannock County homes which are chosen for their historical or architectural interest. This year two older homes and one contemporary are featured. On the south side of U.S. 211, one mile west of Washington, is Greenfield, the home of Ted and Renate Chapman. Its origins go back to a June 1735 grant by Lord Fairfax to Francis Browhing. Greenfield burned down and was rebuilt in LS20 by Willis Browning. The Brownings were famous for their hospitality and invitations to the dances, dinners and other entertainment were much sought after throughout the area. Their guests during the Civil War included General Butler of South Carolina and the well-known Colonel John S. Mosby, of Mosby’s Raiders fame, with whom Ted Chapman’s great-grandfather rode. Federal troops also enjoyed the products of Greenfield’s smoke house from which they helped themselves. Approximately 1.5 miles north of ( astleton on Rt. 618 is Crest wood, the contemporary cedar home of William R. and Anne Furtick. built in 1980 around a central garden. To the right, off the wide, tiled entrance hall is the living, dining and kitchen wing while off the left are bedrooms, all looking into the central garden across a deep, covered terrace. One mile southwest of Amissville on the south side of Rt. 642 is Grenelefe, the home of Col. and Mrs. Ellis Bingham. It dates back to approximately 1740 when it began as a two story loghouse. The house tour and flower sale will run on Saturday, Oct. 21 from 11 a-m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 22 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Block tickets are on sale both at the Parish Hall and the houses are $6 and tickets to individual homes are $2.o(). The block ticket includes tea at Greenfield from 2-5 p.m. Box lunches will be available at Trinity Church from the ladies of Washington First Baptist Church. Also open during the tour weekend will be Miss Ruby Jenkins’ Washington Museum.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,1989 Being prepared Rappahannock County was spared the ravages of Hurricane Hugo last Friday. Early morning predictions of four to eight inches of rain and winds gusting up to 70 miles per hour were hastily revised by the National Weather Service when the storm took a more westerly track, dumping its moisture on the Shenandoah Valley and sparing the counties to the east. But the county was ready, had the storm taken the path predicted during those early morning hours. Though we are happy that Hugo decided to bypass Rappahannock on his journey northward into the hurricane history books, we are also grateful for the emergency preparations taken by the county’s officals. From Col. Dieter Knuepfer, the county’s emergency coordinator, to Sheriff John Henry Woodward and his department’s deputies and dispatchers, to Doug Bywaters and the county’s highway department employees, to School Superintendent Dr. David Gangel and his people, the Social Services staff and the volunteers of the county’s fire and rescue departments, the county was prepared for the worst. An emergency shelter was designated, with staff prepared to fix hot food and drinks for any evacuees displaced • by rising waters. Fire and rescue crews placed on stand-by, ready to respond to requests for evacuations or for stormrelated illnesses and injuries. All members of the Sheriff’s Department were on call had their services been needed for evacuations, traffic control or other duties. The Virginia Department of Transportation had crews ready to clear highways of downed trees and other debris, and to set up roadblocks on flood-closed roads. When the storm seemed destined to hit the county on Friday, plans made Thursday for schools opening as usual Friday morning were revised. Dr. Gangel and the School Board decided that the children would be safer at home, and >. cancelled classes that day. Though the disaster plans were, thankfully, not needed, we’re glad they were in place. It is far better to be overprepared for a calamity which never materializes than to be unprepared for an emergency which does. There are always those few Monday morning quarterbacks who will question the preparations, wondering why the time and effort was spent when it was not ac/ually needed. To those folks we can only point toward Charleston, South Carolina and other areas which took the brunt of the storm and say, “There, but for the grace of God, are we.” Commentary * m •' v * / ' Vl» Rappahannock heritage UNPERTERBED BY HURRICANE HUGO, these horses stand at ease by their fence. <.«nsakitt u.'Ui Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Letters to the editor Is Mrs. Dalton serious? To the editor: If your heart surgeon died, would you hire his widow to cut you open? There is just as much reason for this as to vote for Edwina Dalton for lieutenant governor because you think wJohn Dalton was a good governor. In 1987, Mrs. Dalton ran for the State Senate on her husband’s reputation, $450,000 in campaign funds, and her promise to her constituents that she would serve out her full four-year term in the Senate. After two years in the Senate during which she introduced no successful legislation, she broke her promise and is running for lieutenant governor. Does anyone who has seen Mrs. Dalton campaigning this year seriously think that she should be given the job of presiding over the Senate? The people of Virginia should make her keep her promise by defeating her this year and sending her back to finish up her four-year term in the State Senate. AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON Syria Death penalty dehumanizes To the editor: Increasingly I see writers on public affairs and public figures, such as President Bush, advocating capital punishment. I define capital punishment as legalized killing or authorized first degree murder. One of the reasons I oppose the death penalty is that it is political in character and as such, subject to abuse. But that is only one of the reasons. How many people who advocate official murder consider its history? The long struggle for the representative government that we enjoy is to a great extent the story of efforts to curtail central governments’ powers to arrest, jail, torture and kill people. Succession at the top was often a matter of which contender could legally kill the other or others; legally, that is, because winning con-fc or1 0 CAMPAIGN RHETORIC OR... WHAT PRICE VICTORY? f DO YOU v TRUST H\M / NOPE ! I HEARD HIS OPPONENT SAY HE. ,, CAN’T BE TRUSTED// fered the authority and the right to manufacture charges of conspiracy, treason and crime. One of the most brilliant aspects of our Constitution is its provision for an orderly, legal succecession. Similarly, our Bill of Rights touches on the many ways the State might accuse, hold and punish with death the often defenseless citizen. For instances, both free speech and the practice of religion have often been deemed treasonous and hence appropriate reasons for execution, as we have recently seen in China. Upholding our civil rights and liberties has been an iffy thing throughout U.S. history and we are fortunate to have been preceeded by many who worked hard to do that. It is true that our Bill of Rights did not outlaw the death penalty, but that is not surprising for a society that accepted slavery, and that at its inception excluded more than half of its citizens from rights of participation. Is it really the business of human beings to kill others? According to the Bible, the first death was a murder, Cain killing Abel. However, God did not kill Cain, and according to the Biblical account, we are all his descendants. And it is from the Old Testament that most of us initially learn of the evil of murder, the Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” Then, from Jesus, we hear, “Let him without sin cast the first stone. ” Most modem, representative states have outlawed the death penalty. Official killing characterizes dictatorships and fundamentalist religious societies where other cruel and unusual punishments are also meted out. I urged all those who advocate legalized, official murder to imagine a situation in which a close friend or relative is condemned to death and one in which the advocate has the responsibility to perform the execution. Our society must not require us to dehumanize the criminal, the executioner, or ourselves. DIANA BIRD Washington Coleman's the choice To the editor: As this is written, the 1989 Virginia elections are six weeks aihead. Rappahannock County’s Republicans hosted Marshall Coleman, candidate for Governor, at a rally in Washington’s Fire Hall about seven weeks ago. So this near-midpoint is a good time to refresh memories. Our 1989 rally was not quite as well-attended as 1988’s—perhaps the national contests, George Bush for President, Maurice Dawkins for U.S. Senator, aroused more interest! Here we go. Marshall Coleman’s position on a few key issues are worth repeating. In his prime at age 47, with experience as a state Delegate, Senator and Attorney General, here are his views of two important policy areas: 1). Drugs: On the issue citizens in Virginia and the entire country consider the most important in 1989, Coleman is in a very strong position. The war on drugs is the centerpiece of his campaign. His well though out and detailed plan targets all aspects, from supply and demand, from importers to middlemen, to pushers and users. He emphasizes the personal responsibility of every citizen to exercise our freedom of choice— against drugs! 2.) Government Growth and Spending: Watching the State budget double in the past eight years under two Democratic administrations—a rate of growth, by the w^y, almost twice that of the federal government, and you thought that was bad! Marshall Coleman pledges not to seek a tax increase as governor. And he will veto any passed by the General Assembly. Recent increases have seriously eroded Virginia’s appeal as a low tax state; business is not as likely now to choose Virginia, which will reduce new jobs and hurt us all. Are we really getting twice as much from state government as wt did in 1981, even adjusting for infla tion? No, Marshall Coleman is not perfect. Yes, he has changed his mind. Who doesn’t, including his opponent and his gyrations on the death penalty for the most serious crimes? By experience, because of his beliefs, positions and plans for the future, Marshall Coleman is the best candidate and deserves our votes as Virginia’s next Governor. JOHN L. MAROCCHI Sperryvjlle Law undermines parents To the editor: I was one of about 40 Rappahannock citizens who spent the last year preparing a curriculum for the public schools’ Family Life Education Program. The majority of people believe it is the parents’ responsibility to teach values to their children. Our schools can work with parents to reinforce values of behavior and conduct. Ultimately, this is a parental responsibility. Unfortunately, Virginia law undermines the role of the parents in many areas. Here’s an example. Suppose that an unmarried, school-aged girl believes she is pregnant. She goes to the county health department without her parents, finds out that she is pregnant, and decides to have an abortion. The county nurse is prohibited by law from telling the child’s parents about the abortion. In my opinion, this undermines the role and responsibility of parents. In this case it doesn’t matter whether you are pro-choice or prolife. The issue is the role of the parents and how state law undermines parents. Over the last several years, there has been an effort to require that parents be notified before an unwed schoolgirl receives an abortion. The candidates for governor have opposite positions on this issue. Douglas Wilder has voted against parental notification. Marshall Coleman has stated that he supports parental notification. This may not be the biggest issue in the election campaign. But it is important to me. I think it says something important about how the candidates feel about the role of government in family life. WALTLONGYEAR Washington Tom Calhoun is right To the editor: Jerry Falwell and Page Higginbotham are wrong about abortion, and Tom Calhoun is right. This is another reason why we should vote for Calhoun for Delegate to the 30th District this fall. Tom Calhoun does not believe that Virginia needs to change the laws about abortion, except perhaps to provide that a woman under 18 should notify her parents before getting an abortion. Rev. Falwell and Del. Higginbotham believe that a bunch of politicans in Richmond, mostly men, should tell every woman whether she can have an abortion or not, and that almost always, the answer should be no. ZANN EMBREY Reva

Do they really think we're that stupid? routicians really boggle my mind sometimes. Last week, it was Republican gubernatorial randidate J. Marshall Coleman (or John M. Coleman if you’re reading the Fairfax County tax records) who was revealed to have made a quick and .tidy $100,000 profit speculating in real estate dur,'ing the past year. Mr. Coleman, according to The Washington Post (Sept. 21, Metro, p. 1), bought four homes from the company owned by his next door neigh, J)or and financial benefactor, Dwight Schar, which the resold within months for a substantial profit — ; ’$80,000 in 3 1/2 months, in one case. * • Mr. Schar, in the meantime, has contributed “more than $550,000 to Mr. Coleman’s gubernatorial campaign. His company, NVRyan, is one of the largest real estate development companies in the country, and Mr. Coleman sits on its board of (directors. ;. * All of this is perfectly legal, mind you, which Sir. Coleman took pains to point out when questioned about the transactions by a Post reporter. “I want to make money,” he said. « Mr. Schar denied that Mr. Coleman received ■ any special treatment in his real estate speculations. When he was asked several weeks ago • about his motivations in contributing such a sub• ‘.jstantial sum to Mr. Coleman’s campaign, he replied, “I just want good government.” v It appears, in fact, the best government . money can buy. Interestingly enough, however, Mr. Coleman ' used the name John M. Coleman when he bought /the first two properties — not J. Marshall Cole. man, which is the name he goes by in his political 1 life. Why did he do that? The question bothers me. His response echoes the pathetic reply of vice-presidential nominee Dan Quayle last summer, when he was first confronted with allegations that he used his family’s influence to join the Indiana National Guard, thereby escaping a stint of active duty in Vietnam. Mr. Quayle said some From my choir. . by Lou Hotter thing to the effect that, if he had known 20 years ago that he’d be standing on the podium as the vice-presidential nominee, he might have made a different decision. Mr. Coleman told the Post, “I wish now I had usedJ. Marshall.” I’m glad Mr. Coleman has seen the light. But at least Mr. Coleman had the courage to admit, even obliquely, that he made a mistake. Mr. Quayle never really did that — he turned the allegation on its head and intimated that criticism of his service record was an attack on the patriotism of everyone who served in the National Guard. I, for one, wish that Mr. Quayle had admitted his error. He could have diffused the entire episode with a simple statement that, as a younger man, he had made decisions which he regretted later. I can certainly identify with that. I wish a had a dollar for every one I’ve made. But, no, he couldn’t do that. Well, it was his loss. Lest the Democrats think they!ve got the edge on responsibility in government, however, let’s take a look at their latest mess. Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, running for re-election on the same ticket as Lieutenant Governor L. Douglas Wilder, needed less than a week to pronounce her running mate clean of any ethical violations in his failure to list two assets held in trust on his financial disclosure form. Why did she do that? It bothers me. Assuming that Mr. Wilder is indeed innocent of any wrongdoing, Ms. Terry is still being assailed by the Republicans, ,who are accusing her of whitewashing the entire episode. She could have avoided that criticism, and robbed the GOP of a potential campaign issue, if she had appointed an independent counsel to look into the matter. Not only that, she would have emerged on the high side, impervious to allegations of political shenanigans. Instead, State Sen. Joseph Benedetti, her Republican opponent, has gotten tremendous mileage out of criticisms directed toward her handling of the incident. Why do they do these things? Do they really think that we, the voters, are that stupid? Did Mr. Coleman really think that no one would uncover the real estate transactions, and then ask him about them? Could Ms. Terry really believe that her handling of the Wilder investigation doesn’t have the appearance of political hanky-panky? In all these cases, there is no concrete evidence of wrongdoing or malicious intent on the part of anyone involved. But the perception of an ulterior motive is certainly there — and in politics, particularly during an election season, perceptions are often everything. Don’t these politicians, who aspire to be our leaders, have the most capable and intelligent people they can find to be their advisers? Why do they make these bonehead mistakes? Could it be that they, and not us, are really that stupid? _ Which raises a final question: If that’s the case, do we want them running our Commonwealth? Exhilaration, exhaustion are constant companions on the campaign trail BY JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Newg Special Writer A statewide political campaign is, particularly in the final weeks, a grueling roadshow that often takes a heavy toll on both the candidates and the reporters who cover it. ' * Even in an age when television commercials have the main impact on voters, the candidates must still make the obligatory swings around various parts of a diverse state amid the beauty of autumn. Yet for all its rigors, for politicians and those who report about politicians, there is little more exhilirating than bounding from Northern Virginia to Tidewater to Southside and great American towns like Grundy and Pulaski and Big Stone Gap in the Southwest. It is a ritualistic kind of thing in the last few weeks when the press corps is out in force and a candidate’s schedule is packed with events from sunup to sundown. During the nearly quarter-century I covered Virginian politics, I was fortunate enough to travel Virginia by bus, train, planes and even boats while keeping track of men and women running for governor, lieutenant-governor, attorney-general and the U.S. Senate. The finest campaigner I ever saw, or at least the most ebullient, was the irrepressible Henry Howell. While he might not have been the inventor of the country store whistlestop campaign, Howell certainly perfected it. Going into a particular region, Howell would gather local polls and some of the press aboard his borrowed Howellmobile camper and set out along country roads. At each country store, he would f leap from the camper, his hands filled with campaign brochures, and inside the store shake hands gleefully with its proprietor, commiserate with amused customers on the high price of food while at the same time handing them his literature, and then say, “Listen, friend, when I’m Governor we’re going to do somethin^ about that nasty sales tax on food that picks the pockets of average hard-working men and women like you.” Hqwell would invariably persuade the owner to put one of his campaign posters in his store window alongside a freshly taken Polaroid photo of the candidate and owner. ; The whole thing took less than five minutes, but Howell said it was important, “because in rural areas the country stores are the community centers, the places where folks see each other and talk about , things.” Howell’s nemesis, Mills Godwin Jr., was a completely different kind of campaigner, much more traditional. But he was the best orator I ever encountered in Virginia with the possible exception of J. Lindsay Almond. He could fire up a crowd of conservatives with his blasts against . federal meddling in state business and his admonition that when elect Old Dominion Politics ing somebody to an important political office, you had to look at his votes and record of the past as a vital measure of how he’d act in the future. When October comes this year, the press will be relentlessly following the campaign trail looking for something better to write about than the canned news releases dutifully handed them by flacks throughout the day. What they are seeking is the unguarded moment when a candidate deviates from the prepared speech or statement and says something that will make big headlines the next day. And it usually happens in nearly every campaign. By the time the leaves are bright and colorful, candidates rushing around the state to breakfast rallies, noontime speeches, afternoon handshaking at factories or shopping centers, and an endless succession of fund-raising dinners, are like combat soldiers suffering from battle fatigue. They must march on and fight on though they may be mentally and physically drained and at the time they can least afford it, they are most vulnerable to the gaffe that gets them in trouble. Campaigning is tough hard work even if television spots had taken a lot of the meaning out of pumping the flesh and eating chicken dinners. After the day’s events unfold, a candidate still has several hours of staff conferences and soul-searching before falling into bed with the knowledge, as Yogi Berra might say, it’s deja vu all over again tomorrow. Yet when the adrenalin is pumping and those running for office think the difference between victory and defeat might be that one more stop, that one more voter to be met and Guide to state's pumpkin patch Halloween is just around the corner, and the place to find a Halloween pumpkin is just around the comer too.

I’ve had many candidates tell me later, after it was all over, they felt perfectly fine until the last vote was counted and then the morning after the election, realizing the game had ended, they collapsed like a wet tent and felt worn out and listless for weeks. After all, to elect our statewide officials we put them through the political equivalent of the Boston Marathon.

Jennings W. Hobson III Rector, Trinity Episcopal Church 4 "Joyful, Joyful we Adore Thee" The sense of joy and praise expressed in that wonderful hymn is a sense all too often forgotten in Christian witness. Yes, there are many aspects of life in faith that require serious attention, and that must not be diminished. However, we must remember that joy in the life our God has given us and praise of Him for the gift are essential to the wholeness of our spirituality. From the beginning (see Genesis 1:4-31) God has declared His work of creation to be a good work, and there is every reason to believe this calls for our enjoyment and celebration with Him. In the Old Testament there are myriad images of this, including Miriam dancing and singing of the Lord’s deliverance, David dancing before the Lord, Solomon with his hands raised in thankful praise, and the Song of Solomon with its rather earthy appreciation of some of the more joyful aspects of this life. In the New testament this continues with Jesus' own sense of humor (e.g. the hyperbole and double entendre Of the eye of the needle image) and Jesus' own sense of enjoyment (e.g. drawing to Him the children, which must have included a smile and maybe even a laugh or two). His first miracle is offered at a wedding party and His gift of abundant life is certainly not limited to purely "spiritual" matters. Then there is evidence in the way God has built us - a smile is easier and more natural than a frown, laughter is good for our health at many” levels, and singing soothes the soul. God obviously intends joy, praise, and celebration to be part of life in Him, of Christian witness and Christian living. Moreover, we are enriched by the joy and energized for dealing with more serious issues, especially when we do it together. So let us not forget to join on Sunday morning (and at other possible time) in praising and adoring God, JOYFULLY!

Polo for Hospice Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter AGAIN THIS YEAR, the Rappahannock Polo Club will host the fourth annual benefit match for the Hospice of the Rapidan at Laurel Hill Farm in Castleton. Tickets for the Oct. 8 match are available by calling (703) 825-4840 or 547-2654. DAR speaker talks on Bill of Rights The first meeting of the 19891990 year of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR was held Sept. 12 with Mrs. Biedler Settle, Mrs. Claude I. Guinn, Mrs. Vincent R. Beasley, and Mrs. Marvin C. Goff as hostesses. Mrs. Carlyle Crigler, Regent, conducted this first meeting of her three-year term. Speaker for the afternoon was the Honorable S. Page Higginbotham who spoke on the Bill of Rights. He traced the history of individual rights beginning with the Magna Carta, signed by King John of England in 1215. In the United States, Virginia was in the forefront of guaranteeing individual rights when its Declaration of Rights was adopted unanimously by the Convention of Delegates at the Capitol in Williamsburg on June 12, 1776. This document was the major source for the Bill of Rights adopted as the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Higginbotham stated that the purpose of thw^Bill of Rights is to provide an atmosphere in which indi viduals can flourish without government control. The National Defense Chairman, Mrs. Philip Brewer, read exerpts from an article by Patrick Buchanan entitled “Should Congress Overturn the Courts” — referring to the recent Supreme Court decision regarding desecration of the American flag. The message from the President General, Mrs. Eldred M..Yochim, read by Mrs. Thomas Eastham, urged all members to celebrate Constitution Week, this year being Sept. 17-23. Mrs. Crigler introduced the new chairmen of the committees, including a new committee this year — “Literacy Challenge,” the purpose of which is not to try something new but to pursue and coordinate what is already being done about illiteracy. The budget, presented by the treasurer, Mrs. Z.R. Gutowski, was approved unanimously. The next meeting, to be held Oct. 11 at Lake of the Woods, will be a Centennial Jubilee luncheon. Potpourris can be lucrative hobby By TOMMY WILLIAMS Extension Agent. Agriculture Several members of the Virginia Herb Growers and Marketers Association earn substantial income through sales of a value-added product called potpourri. Potpourris are mixtures of flowers, herbs, oils and other aromatic material that are usually kept in a decorative container. Whenever the lid is removed an uplifting aroma fills the air. Potpourris are usually beautiful to look at as well because of the flower petals and natural materials used. The use of this craft product is especially popular throughout the Christmas holiday season. One particular potpourri labeled as “The Smell of Christmas” has enjoyed brisk sales in recent years. In fact, there is currently a potpourri craze going on in the United States. Potpourri is one of the very best selling items in gift stores today. Potpourri displays may be seen in most supermarket chain stores so it has become a common household consumer item. Beginning herb growers w’ho try to sell herb plants, fresh cut herbs, herb teas and other herb products should not be afraid to make and sell their own homemade potpourris. Beginners will not be able to match the quality of the large, national potpourri companies when they first get started. Beginners can, however, package the product attractively and merchandise with vigor. A beginner who is willing to learn, who has inspiration and a keen nose may eventually learn how to create music in scent. Everyone has to start from the same beginning point. The three basic elements in a potpourri include the bulk, the fixative and fragrance oil. Bulk materials are flowers, leaves, herbs, and spices. Dried flowers that might be used in making a basic potpourri include chamomile, lavender, jasmine, rose, elder and cornflower. Leaves could include balm, basil, bay, lavender, scented geranium, sage, woodruff, thyme, eucalyptus, patchouli, and wintergreen. Spices could include allspice, caraway, cardamon, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, mace and nutmeg. The fixative is a substance that gives permanence to the main scent. Commonly used ones are oak moss, orris root, calamus root, hibiscus flowers, and very small pine cones. Fragrance oils include rose, vanilla, jasmine, peach, coconut, honeysuckle, carnation, magnolia and many, many more. To make potpourri, the fixative and the fragrance oils are first aged together and then added to the bulk materials. All materials are carefully blended. The mix should be covered tightly and aged together for at least six weeks. During this aging process the mixture should be carefully stirred every few days. After six weeks divide the whole into smaller containers or packages for sale. Rhonda Schooley Parfumerie Formula: For six cups of bulk material, add 1/4 cup fixative and two drams of oil. For 10 cups of bulk material, add 1/2 cup of fixative and three drams of oil. To scent 14 cups of bulk material, add 3/4 cup of fixative and four drams of scenting oil. (One dram equals 1/8 ounce or 180 drops). (The following recipe is from Phyllis Shaudy’s newsletter—Potpourri From Herbal Acres Phyls’ Basic Rose Potpourri If you are a beginner, I suggest you divide the basic recipe into parts and try the variation separately. You will soon find which scents are the most appealing to you as a fragrance-creator! 1 tsp. rose oil, blended with 3 tablespoons ground orris root and allowed to “set” for a few days, covered, (I use empty spice jars for this), and then added to 1 quart crispy-dry rose petals. Variations: For a spicy scent: add 2 tbls. each ground cloves and cinnamon. For a very sweet scent: add 2 cups lavender blossoms and 1/4 cup ground tonka or vanilla beans. For an exotic musky scent: add 1 cup patchouly leaves and 1/2 cup sandalwood and vetiver root. For a fruity scent : add 1 cup each of dried citrus peel, rose and lemone-scented geranium leaves, and lemon balm or lemon verbena. Actually, you could mix all of the ingredients named in the variations together, (plus extra rose petals, oil, and orris root)! You wall soon find yourself adding “a bit of this” and a “touch of that” as you discover your favorite combinations.

Wakefield's magazine wins top award Wakefield School has received notice from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association that the 1989 Talisman, the school’s literary magazine, has earned the Medalist Award again this year. The medal was awarded along with All-Columbian Medals in all four categories of judging: concept, content, design, and creativity. The judges felt that this issue of the magazine was so beautiful that it should be judged in the literary-art category; as such, it placed even higher than last year’s issue, receiving 972 out of the possible 1,000 points. “I was tremendously impressed with this magazine,” wrote a judge, “as I was first a reader held captive and then later a judge.” It's a girl!

All-American apple pie it is no surprise that apple pie is the “All American” favorite dessert. It is the most requested dessert in restaurants as well as a favorite to make at home. Apple season is in full swing here in Rappahannock County. Next weekend the Sperryville community will be celebrating its fall Apple Festival. Apples are abundant now. Add just a few spices, a little sugar, pastry for a crust and one has all of the ingredients for making a really good pie. Unless crumb topping is used, pies should be topped with a delica tely browned pastry, filled with plump fruit and supported by a tender bottom crust. The pastry should be tender, yet flaky and crisp and the filling should hold its shape when cut and served. Here are some common problems with pie making and their possible causes. • Is pastry tough? Too much flour Too much handling or rerolling Incorrect ingredient proportions Too much water • Is bottom crust soggy? Pie plate too shiny Baking temperature too low Baking time too short Break or tear in bottom crust • Is crust too pale? Same reasons as for soggy crust Too little fat Too much liquid Over-mixing or over-handling ol pastry • Does pie shrink and lose its shape? Pastry was stretched when fitted into pie plate Pastry not firmly pressed against edge of pie plate • Does pastry crumble and break or tear easily? U nder-mixing Too much or too little shortening • Is crust too brown? Oven temperature too hot Sandv y Pie baked too high in oven • Does pastry stick to pie plate? Filling boiled over Break in crust Pastry too thin Several wonderful recipes follow, along with a few flavor variations and suggestions. There are recipes for pastry also. But if you feel intimidated by pastry-making, choose refrigerated ready-to-bake crusts at the supermarket.

Conservation district marks 50 years of service to counties On Oct. 4 the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District will have been in operation for 50 years. The District is comprised of the counties of Culpeper, Greene, Madison, Rappahannock and Orange. In 1935, Congress unanimously passed the first soil and water conservation law. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt urged all governors to propose legislation allowing landowners to create soil and water conservation districts in 1937. Ry 1938, Virginia had passed the Soil Conservation Districts Law. It defined a soil and water conservation district as a political subdivision of the state responsible for conservation work within its boundaries. Organized under the authority of the Virginia Soil Conservation Districts Act, Senate Bill 38, passed by the 1938 session of the Virginia General Assembly, the District was organized in Culpeper County on Oct. 4, 1939. Orange County was added on June 10, 1940, Madison County on Sept. 30, 1940, Greene County on Aug. 26, 1941 and Rappahannock County was included on Jan. 6, 1942 making a total of 1,496 square miles or 957,440 acres covered by the district. r The spirit of the Soil and Water Conservation Districts is founded on the principle that the local residents, together, have the ability to decide for themselves the actions they wish to take toward their joint interest and common welfare. Americans have decided they want to protect their soil and water resources and organized Conservation Districts to do thejob. The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District was organized by the residents of Culpeper, Orange, Madison, Greene and Rappahannock counties, under the provisions of State Law. Being a subdivision of the State Government, it is not directed by the Governor, the State Legislature, any agency of the State Government or the Federal Government. The district is directed only by the residents of the district, the landowners and opetators who organized it in the first place. Through an elected governing body, called the Board of District Directors, they direct and manage district’s soil and water conservation programs and affairs. The Directors are elected for a three year term at the general election held in Novem ber. The next director election will be held in November of 1990. Today, 45 of these districts exist in the State of Virginia. They enlist and coordinate help from public and private sources to get the job of conservation done. Districts receive funds from local and state governments and technical assistance from state and federal agencies. Districts cover 94 counties, 14 cities and 98.5 percent of the land base in Virginia. Not many people realize that the Culpeper SWCD was directly responsible for the existence of the two watershed projects located in Madison and Culpeper counties. Beautiful Run and Mountain Run came into existence because of the Soil and Water Conservation District’s efforts. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been distributed to the landowners in the five counties over the years from the Chesapeake Bay Cost Share Program through the conservation district. Virtually hundreds of erosion and sediment control plans have either been reviewed or approved by the conservation district throughout all five counties. Heritage Ball at Leaf Fest A new event is being planned for the Nineteenth Annual Festival of Leaves, a spokesman for the festival announced last week. The Warren Heritage Society is sponsoring a Heritage Ball on Oct. 13 at Bowling Green Country Club from 6:30 till midnight. Festivities get underway with a social hour from 6:30 to 7:30 at which time a buffet dinner will be served. At 9 p.m. the band “Fine Print” will begin performing a variety of dance music till midnight. As an additional feature of the Heritage Ball, seven Virginia vacation packages will be given away throughout the evening. First prize is a Christmas in Williamsburg which includes a two night stay at the Williamsburg Inn, meals and tour. The second prize will be a seaside adventure at the Tides Inn Resort in Irvington. From the seashore to the mountains, the third prize will be a vacation trip to Wintergreen Resort. There will be four additional prizes for Bed and Breakfast vacations, .including Balcony Downs Plantation in Glasgow, River Front House in Matthews, Caledonia Farms in Flint Hill, and Chester House.* Funds raised from this event go to the operation of the Warren Heritage Society, the furnishing of Belle Boyd Cottage, and promoting the work of the Heritage Society in the community. Tickets, which are $50 per person, can be obtained at the Warren Heritage Society, 101 Chester Street, Front Royal. For further information call (703) 636-1446. Panthers rip Cougars The Panthers girls basketball team evened its record at 4-4 Tuesday evening with a victory over Manassas Park. The home team rolled up its first big margin of the year over the visiting Cougars ,49-18. Scoring was evenly distributed throughout the varsity squad, according to Coach Renee Leake, with seven players contributing to the offense. Leading scorer for the evening was Tasha Roy, the only double-digit shooter, with 10 points. Susie Dearing, Susan Estes and Stephanie Jones added another eight points each, a full half of the Panthers total. Deena Hitt put seven points on the Panthers’ scoreboard, while Sherron Boddie added six and Edna Shanks had two points. The win over Manassas Park puts the Panthers’ record even at 44, with the team scheduled to meet the Central High School Falcons at Woodstock on Thursday. Big top in Amissvillp Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THERE WAS THREE-RING action last week when the Roberts Brothers Circus made an appearance in Amissville. The event was a benefit for the Amissville Ruritan Club, which will apply the proceeds toward a community center at Stuart Field. Flu shots available By MARION FACCHINA, R.N. Public Health Nurse The flu season is rapidly approaching us. Most people who catch the flu come down with fever, chills, cough, and muscle soreness. Although most are ill for only a few days, some people have a much more serious illness which Can require hospitalization. The following groups are at increased risk for serious illness from the flu: Adults and children with long-term heart and lung problems; people who have a type of cancer or immunological disorder; anyone over the age of 65; and children on long-term treatment with aspirin. Other people to consider the vaccine are those who work with the public or those who simply want to reduce their chances of catching the flu. If you would like to receive the vaccine or find out more information contact your doctor or you can contact the Rappahannock County Health Department by calling 675-3516 or 675-3055. The Rappahannock County Health Department charges a $5.50 fee and if you have Medicaid, that will cover the cost. The vaccine will be given Tuesday, Oct. 3 from 9 a.m.-noon and 1-4 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Health Department or you may call to arrange for an individual appointment at the Health Department. Peanuts and 4-H combine Va. traditions By TOMMY WILLIAMS Extension Agent, Agriculture Two Virginia traditions—4-H and Virginia peanuts—are coming together this fall as 4-H members sell cans of peanuts to raise funds for activities at the local and state levels. Many Virginia 4-H members are learning more about peanuts and the financial management of a sale as they raise money for their activities selling Gourmet Home-Cooked Peanuts. The participating 4-H groups are offering a 12 ounce can of extra large Virginia peanuts for $5. The sale opened at the Virginia State Fair on Sept. 21, and continues through the celebration of 4-H Week, Oct. 1-7. Proceeds will be divided between the local 4-H clubs and the Virginia 4-H Foundation. The 4-H’ers will be selling unsalted peanuts for those customers concerned with salt in their diet as well as lightly salted ones. Peanuts are high in protein. One hundred grams of peanuts contain about 26 grams of protein, or one ounce of peanuts contains eight grams of protein. Nutritionists classify the quality of proteins by the amino acids they contain. The body must break down protein into its amino acids in order to use it. “The body can make all but eight of the 20 or more amino acids that are needed,” said Jo Ann Barton, Virginia Cooperative Extension specialist in foods and nutrition. These eight are called essential amino acids. The highest quality protein food contains all eight. Examples are meat, fish and poultry. Not all plant sources are missing or are low in the same essential amino acid, so it is possible to combine two plant sources of protein to get a complete protein. Bread and peanut butter are such a combination. Or, the missing amino acid may be supplied by an animal protein such as milk. Youth programs have been part of Virginia since 1909 and peanuts have been a commercial crop in Virginia since 1844. Peanuts originally came from South America. The conquistadors who explored in South America took the peanuts back to Spain. From Spain, the peanuts were traded with African nations and were grown there. The peanut grew in popularity during the Civil War. Peanuts are an important crop in Virginia. In 1987, the most recent year for which information is available, peanuts brought cash receipts of $60,264,000 to the state. Virginia produces about six percent of the peanuts grown in the nation. To purchase Gourmet HomeCooked Peanuts, and help the county’s b-H programs, contact the county Extension Office in Washington (675-3619) or any youngster involved in U-H. ^ WE TAKE THE TIME TO CARE if?

Rappahannock News 703/675-3349 Perserverance is secret of flea control program BLACKSBURG —Very few people who have small animal pets are unaware that this is flea season. Kent Roberts, Extension veterinarian with the VirginiaMaryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech, said because the flea’s life cycle includes meals of blood, life for cats and dogs can be very unpleasant. And, with severe infestations, pet owners will feel the bite too. It is the bite of the flea that cause pets so much discomfort, as well as the common fleabite allergies that can result in skin inflammation, hair loss and chronic skin problems. Dr. Roberts reminded pet owners that treating the animal for fleas is only part of a successful control problem. “The pet’s environment is equally important,” Dr. Roberts said, “since fleas spend only part of their time on the animal. The rest of the time is spent in carpets, under furniture and in floor cracks, baseboards and outdoors.” He noted there is a staggering number of products available for flea control, with no one product being superior to another. “Perseverance and regular treatment are just as important as the choice of product,” he said. Dr. Roberts listed several guidelines to remember when attacking a flea problem. They are: • Always read and follow the directions on the product label. These chemicals can be dangerous to you and your pet if improperly used. • Products recommended for dogs are not always safe for cats, and products recommended for dogs and cats are not always safe for puppies and kittens. • Most flea sprays, foams and powders need to be applied two or three times a week. • Most flea soaps and dips need to be used once a week to be effective. • Thorough saturation is the secret in applying flea products to an animal. Protect the animal’s eyes with vaseline or mineral oil prior to treatment. • Use only one insecticide at a time. Don’t mix chemicals; a toxic reaction can occur. • Internal insecticides in pill or liquid form normally are given twice a week. Avoid any exposure to other insecticides for at least 24 hours after dosing. • Sprays and foggers for treating the house should normally be used once a week for three weeks and then should be used once a month. • Vacuum carpets thoroughly following house spraying or fogging and dispose of the vacuum bag, preferably by burning. • Treatment of yards, pens or runs with diazinon, malathion or dursban should be done thoroughly with a pressure sprayer every two weeks for three applications. • Carefully examine household pets daily for live fleas or flea “dirt” (dark specks of dried blood) to evaluate your control program. The base of the tail and groin are favorite flea locations. • Carefully plan your attack on fleas and use a comprehensive approach to the problem. Consult your local veterinarian for advice on flea control. A pet owner who doesn’t take an active role in flea control will not only find that his pets are uncomfortable, but that fleas can start biting him when there are too many to live off a pet, Dr. Roberts added. Players Continued from page 1 theatre goers, the actors in The Lion in Winter should be as much “the thing” as the play. It will be old theatre week, as past favorites return to the Gay Street stage: • Steve Hostetter (King Henry), from HMS Pinnafore, Peter Pan, and Rhinocerous, • Howard Coon (Richard the Lion-Hearted), from Wait until Dark, Next Year Jerusalem, Rhnocerous, and Bedroom Farce, • Jody Carbone (Prince John), from Bedroom Farce and Wait Until Dark, • Sam Clifton (Geoffrey), from Bedroom Farce. • Hunt Harris (King Philip), from performances of Rappahannock’s Last Minute Wood Company (and plays on the tennis courts). • Cynthia Norris (Princess Alias) is a newcomer only outfront since she was the assistant stage manager for Bedroom Farce. Dinah Pehrson-Day, who directed that last joint production of the Rappahannock Players and the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, is also a stage veteran, having performed in New York after her graduation from that city’s American Academy of Acting. Mitch Hostetter, whose been involved in every Rappahannock production since the organization of the county’s community theatre, is making her premiere as a director with The Lion in Winter. Waldron and Sam O’Connor, never far away from any theatrical effort, are designing sets and costumes. The play is produced jointly by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community and the Rappahannock Players. Performances for The Lion in Winter are set for Friday and Saturday nights, Sept. 29 and 30 and Oct. 6 and 7, at 8 p.m. Tickets at $7.50 are available at the RAAC office and Mountainside Market in Washington and at the door of Washington’s Gay Street Theatre. Bluemont offers arts programs to schools The Bluemont Concert Series announces the publication of its 198990 Artist-in-Education Program Directory. This directory contains more than 50 different performing artists available to local schools this year. The 24-page directory was mailed to more than 700 educators, administrators, and PTA officers in Northern Virginia and West Virginia, said Bill Baber, Bluemont’s arts in education coordinator. Bluemont’s Artist-in-Education Program brings a wide variety of talented performing artists into schools. These artists share their unique talents with students, educators, and the community through residencies that can include perfor mances, workshops, and special programs developed to meet particular school needs. The objective of the program is to help integrate the arts into school curriculum and to increase cultural awareness of students, faculty, and administrators. The Artist-in-Education Program is Bluemont’s largest program. Since 1979, more than 200,000 students have participated in the AIE Program. Last year, 140 residencies were presented in more than 90 schools.

Hugo Continued from page 1 nance Supervisor Doug Bywaters said his crews were prepared with chainsaws and barricades to warn motorists of road hazards. Since Friday was a normal workday, he added, no extra crews were needed. Skyline Drive was closed on Friday, as park officials expected that high winds would bring down trees across the road, posing a hazard to motorists. The park arranged for rangers to escort groups of cars along the Drive, but would not allow unescorted motorists onto the federal parkway. The alert became moot, however, when Hugo’s behavior changed as it came ashore around midnight Thursday over Charleston, South Carolina. According to Chip Knappenberger, a research assistant at the State Climatology Office at the University of Virginia, the storm track which projected Hugo’s path over Central Virginia was based on a combination of the storm’s forward movement to the west and its intersection with a trough in the jet stream, which drew it northward. However, the track issued by the National Hurricane Center Thursday evening was based on the hurricane’s speed over the Atlantic as it neared land. The projection. was thrown off, Mr. Knappenberger said, when Hugo unexpectedly picked up speed as it made landfall at Charleston. At a speed of between 35 and 40 miles per hour, Hugo travelled farther west than predicted before the jet stream began drawing it north. Thus, the rain and high winds predicted for the Piedmont were spent in the mountains of North Carolina and Southwest Virginia instead, Mr. Knappenberger explained. The hurricane’s path through the mountains, the meterologist explained, also helped to break up its wind and rain patterns so the rainfall and wind speeds were significantly lower than predicted. “After it got past Charlotte, North Carolina, where it did significant damage, Hugo didn’t do nearly as much damage as predicted. “We were very fortunate that it did that,” Mr. Knappenberger added, “but Central Virginia’s meteorologists got burned in the process.” He said that forecasters are extremely wary about issuing the kind of “gloom and doom” predictions made last Thursday night. “Rarely do you see alarmist forecasts, because we don’t want to scare people. But the potential for a real disaster was there. ” The forecasting and tracking of Hugo was “done well,” he said, and the storm warnings and evacuations implemented along the Atlantic coast “saved hundreds of lives there . . . Hugo demonstrated that people should listen to the forecasters -that hurricanes are killers.” Festival Continued from page 1 ther fabric or dried flowers, woodcarvings or weavers. Eager children line up for a jump in the hot air jumper or for a individualized face painting. The sleepy town of Sperryville will be jumping with action for the celebration. Off busy U.S. 211, Sperryville’s Main Street will be lined with funseekers, cultured crafters and educated antique shoppers. Maneuvering a huge Victorian carriage filled with Spectators in the congestion is a job for a professional. Harvey Lagasse is just the man. After three years of festival experience, Lagasse is familiar with Sperryville’s anticipated apple harvest crowd — his famous eight-yearold standardbred, Amos, known for his work in the film “Witness," and his partner, the nine-year-old saddlebred Dyna, plod gently from council president’s Tom Junk’s yard, left past the fire house, and back for $2 a ride. “It’s about a 15 minute ride,” Lagasse said, adding that it is just enough to give people a taste of carriage riding, and “the kids love it.” The huge, authentic and completely restored English Wagonette, dating back to the 1870’s, has a middle fifth wheel for easing turning and seats six in comfort. Entering from a back door, riders can experience a taste of the past as they drift slowly past spectators and crafters lining the Sperryville streets. Beneath the straw hat, and under the bow tie, one may recognize the driver, Remington’s Ed Clark or carriage restorer Earl Bercier or his wife, Cathy. Mr. Lagasse, himself, may be tugging on the reigns or nudging old Dyna into movement. “The kids love the rides." Mr. Lagasse said, adding that most anyone enjoys the open air atmosphere and rhythm of the carriage. Mr. Lagasse, orginially from Connecticut, but now making his home in Amissville, has found his 20 years experience in carriage rides a new attraction to those below the Mason Dixon Line. “We sell all over the United States,” Mr. Lagasse said, familiar to most northern communities. Besides giving private romantic carriage rides, sleigh rides in winter, carriage rides at weddings, atmospheric rides in Little Washington and participation in festivals such as Washington’s Fourth of July celebration and the Sperryville Apple Harvest Festival, Mr. Lagasse sells old wagons after they are restored, taking anywhere from one week to several months, by Bercier. Journey’s End Farm, his Amissville home, houses 25 carriages and sleighs, from the elegant wagonette used for the Apple Harvest Festival to covered surreys and wicker sleighs.

In order for that to happen, she said, the state would require that an architect be one of the members of the board. Since there are none in town, a county resident could fulfill that requirement, allowing the ARB to be certified. In reply to a question about what would be gained by state certification, Mrs. Willis said that members could attend seminars, and the ARB could also possibly qualify for grant money. And, she added, the town’s request for a survey of its historic buildings would probably be expedited. Georgetown, Mr. Wickens pointed out, “had such a board,” composed of experts in historic preservation who were not residents of the community. “It had no community focus.” Mr. Bailey added that the ARB presently has a pool of expert advisors who will consult on projects at the board’s request. “You can call on them anytime, but it is the members of the ARB wrho will vote.” “We are in the midst of changing a lot of policies,” Mrs. Willis replied. “We need help, and the applicants need help. We call in our advisors only on big, important projects.” Planning Commissioner Susan Parrish pointed out that the proposed plan did not address the difference between privately owned and publicly held property within the town. “As a property owner, I can understand that problem. Many of our historic buildings are public, and we have an obligation to make sure those public buildings are preserved. “Especially where public buildings are concerned, the county’s residents have as much right to have a say as we do,” Mrs. Parrish said. That, Mr. Wickens said, “is not critical to public support (for the ARB) which I think is paper thin right now.” “The support is stronger than ever right now,” Mrs. Willis replied. “It’s not who or wrhere they live, but how they deal with the public.” Planner Mitzie Young asked Mrs. Parrish if her support for county representation extended to deliberations about ^private property? “It is only one vote out of five,” Mrs. Parrish said. “Even if they don’t agree, it’s only one vote.” The planners split against recommending the ordinance to the council, with Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Parrish in favor of county representation and Mr. Wickens, Mrs. Young and Arthur Neufeld against. As the council members continued to debate the proposal. Council member Peter Skowronski reminded the ARB of its responsibility. “You are definitely recognized within the town . . . and your first and foremost responsibility is to the residents of the town.” He predicted that if the county resident were, for example, an architect, “he will be your guiding light and you will follow him even more. ” “All the best boards,” Mrs. Willis replied, “have as many experts as possible.” “At the last big meeting I attended,” Mr. SkowTonski continued, referring to the jail addition, “you had a room full of advisors. There was no problem getting them. But you want me to give up my rights — to be governed by someone from outside — for a certification?” Treasurer Brad Fisher noted that the ARB has no governing authority. The jail addition, when its denial was reversed by the council, is a case in point. Mayor Dean Morehouse pointed out that some county residents also own property within the town, and conduct their businesses there. “They have a tremendous impact. For surveys, grants, expertise, I think expansion and certification is a good idea.” The advisors, Mr. Morehouse continued, were here for the important, controversial project. “But I don’t see them here tonight calling for more guidelines and information.” Eileen Day, a county resident whose realty business is located in Washington, objected to the perception that, because people work in town but live outside, they don’t care about the town. “I don’t like the idea of the fact that you sleep here gives you all the power ... I work in town, and have owned property in town since 1978. My family has owned property in the county for 40 years ... I am very concerned about what happens in town. I do care.” Mr. Wickens noted that, in his opinion, “the buildings designed before we had architects, in New England, in the Piedmont, and in Tidewater, have more grace and style than anything built since. “I’m not persuaded,” Mr. Wickens continued, “that the average ar chitect has any better sense of what this town needs than the average resident who walks its streets.” Voting on the proposed amendment to allow a county resident to serve as a voting member of the five-member ARB, the council split in favor of the measure. Mr. Wickens and Mr. Skowronski voted against it; while Mr. Fisher, Mr. Gooch, Mrs. Willis and Mayor Morehouse voted in favor of it. No appointment was made to the ARB by Jfhe council, although Mrs. Willis said she intends to nominate architect Whayne Haffler, a resident of Flint Hill and presently a member of its advisory pool, for the position.
