WINES takes aim at Amy Kellert, who seems less than enthusiastic about taking another dip in the dunking tank during Washington’s Independence Day celebration. Sultry Fourth fails to deter visitors to First Washington's celebration By LISA G. CURRIE and LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writers As America celebrated its 214th year as a free nation, the first Washington joined in, marking one more memorable Fourth of July holiday. Neither the scorching heat or the midweek date kept visitors away from the festivities in Washington. “Despite the heat and Wednesday break,” Washington Volunteer Fire Department Chief Roger Roach said, “we had a heavy crowd” that moved constantly all day. t “For a Wednesday, and as hot as it is, I’m pleased,” Chief Roach said on the Fourth as he walked the streets, making sure everything was running smoothly. As the department’s major fundraiser, Chief Roach reported the department “did very well” this year, following a damp and disappointing outing last year which was rained out by torrential downpours early in the afternoon. The fire department’s barbecue dinners were a sell-out, “even sooner than we expected,” Chief Roach said. Usually, there are a few smoked pork dinners left for latecomers around dusk, but this year the volunteer servers had already begun their cleanup shortly after 7 p.m., after all 300 plates had passed by for scoops of beans, cole slaw and an ear of roasted com on the cob. Commercial vendors and local civic organizations also reported successful sales from the day-long street fair. Some visitors may have See FOURTH, p. 11 Small-town Fourth offers needed break By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Most visitors to Washington’s Independence Day celebration saw Don Watrud. ,v He was hard to miss, walking the streets with a Sony Betacam perched on his shoulder, taping the youngsters at the dunking tank and the Colonial dancers in front of the courthouse. A closer look revealed “Press” credentials hanging from his belt pack, identifying Mr. Watrud as a photographer with WTTG, Fox Channel 5 in the “other” Washington. On Independence Day, he passed up the capital’s celebration in favor of a “small-town” Fourth of July. “I grew up in a small town,” Mr. Watrud explained when asked what drew him to the first Washington. “We always do the Fourth of July in D.C. I wanted to do the sights and sounds of the Fourth in a small town.” Without a reporter or soundman, Mr. Watrud said he was serying as hi$ own reporter, producer and editor for the piece, which ran as a “color” sidebar See FEATURE, p. 12 KV DON WATRUD Dunagan brings home first place from national TSA competition By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rising ninth-grader Joey Dunagan is putting Rappahannock County High School on the map. Among students in the sixth through eighth grades, Joey is the nation’s best in architectural Computer-Aided Drafting, Level I. The honor was bestowed on him at the national Technology Students of America conference, held June 19-24 in Corpus Christi, Texas; a meeting which drew more than 1,800 students from 48 states. Besides two large trophies, Joey won computer software programs for himself, the high school and his instructors, Scott Currie and Ron Vickers. Mr. Vickers estimated that the retail value of the software won by Dunagan this year in various competitions might be as much as $10,000 to $12,000. Dunagan was joined at the national convention by five other Rappahannock students, senior Elizabeth Oliver, junior Jeremy Tole, sophomore Bryan Clark and eighth graders Philip Smiley and Tucker Rogers. “Every student in the TSA‘ program is eligible to attend,” Mr. VickSeeTSA, p. 12 Photo courtesy TS A THE RCHS DELEGATION to TSA’s national convention was, front row, from left, Tucker Rogers, Philip Smiley, Joey Dunagan.

County joins regional drug task force By KADY BOURN-STEVENSON and LOU HATTER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writers The region’s war on drugs is getting some better-organized “soldiers” with the formation of a regional drug task force among the five counties and four towns of Planning District 9. Unlike a previous task force that worked on a variety of crimes, the new one will focus exclusively on drugs and will work with the State Police, said special agent in charge Tom Clarke of the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation at Second Division headquarters in Culpeper. “This is something that’s sort of a trend throughout the state,” Clarke said. An officer from each agency in the district is assigned to the task force and works out of its headquarters rather than his or her home office. The local departments still provide the officer’s salary, an undercover car, and equipment, Clarke said. Officers will have the authority to make arrests in any of the district’s five counties, according to Rappahannock County Sheriff John Henry Woodward. “It seems as though drug traffic and drug violence knows no jurisdictional boundaries,” said Warrenton Police Chief Dale Koglin. “Just because you get to the Fauquier-Culpeper line, drug dealers aren’t going to stop.” “It’s a way for us to work together,” said Clarke, who noted that previously, a department’s resources were limited to what their drug officer could do on his own. Rappahannock County Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke agreed that drug investigations in small rural counties like Rappahannock are difficult, and that cooperations between the neighboring jurisdictions may provide better results. The county “is still fortunate that we have been able to avoid — so far — the large-scale drug problem experienced by surrounding jurisdictions.” , See TASK FORCE, p. 11 Town meeting sparks debate on arts funding By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer About 35 Rappahannock residents turned out for a town meeting last Saturday to hear and question Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. They raised concerns ranging from funding for the National Endowment for the Arts to the cost of the savings and loan scandal. Rep. Slaughter began the meeting by saying, “The biggest news to come out of Washington last week was the President’s support for raising taxes. I cannot support a tax increase. The citizens don’t feel undertaxed. Rather than raise taxes, we need to hold spending. Every one dollar in additional revenue has led to $1.50 in new spending.” Rep. Slaughter said he supported the balanced budget amendment. A petition to discharge the amendment from the House Judiciary Committee, which has kept it bottled up since 1982, has received its 218th signature, he said. He added that the amendment would now automatically be brought to the floor of the House for a vote, possiblv in the next week. Congressman Slaughter also said he had voted against the foreign aid bill because it cut military aid for El Salvador. “Any and all aid should be related to the economic and security interests of the United States or to humanitarian causes.” Rep. Slaughter said he was disappointed that the Congress had defeated the amendment to protect the flag. He said the flag “represents our freedoms and deserves special protection.” He said he “equally” supports the First Amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech, but that there were already certain restrictions on that freedom including provisions against pornography. Finally Rep. Slaughter said, “The taxpaying citizens 1 are outraged at the cost of the savings and loan cleanup.” He said he had urged President Bush to appoint a special counsel to investigate. When the meeting was turned over for public comments or questions, John Brandon said he was disappointed to see funding cut for the National Endowment for the Arts. “I’m opposed to it,” Rep. Slaughter said. Beverly Hunter asked Congressman Slaughter to explain the balanced budget amendment. Rep. Slaughter said it would take several years but would “simply” require that the federal budget be balanced. Charles Necessary said that he supports Rep. Slaughter’s votes. “I feel the same way - more taxes, t more corruption.” He said that the Department of Housing and Urban Development and savings and loan scandals are examples. “I have yet to see any of these people • j taken to task for what they’ve done . . . This mess was j brought before the House and Senate years ago, and *fl Congress hasn’t done one thing. ” Robert Eastham spoke at length on the savings and j loan problem, noting that when the federal government agreed to guarantee deposits for up to $100,000 it set up a system for regulating banks and savings and loans. “Years went by and more and more con artists and' crooks got into legitimate businesses,” Mr. Eastham alleged. “Some of these people committed felonies. They sucked in all these people with their competitive and ridiculous rates of interest . . . You’re going to have to force the White House and Department of Justice to go for punishment. You all sat back as the watchdogs did 1 nothing. See MEETING, p. 12

Housing survey underway During the next month, housing in Rappahannock County will be surveyed as part of a rehabilitation project funded by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. The purpose of the survey, according to County Administrator John McCarthy, is to identify properties that need repairs to make them safer and more comfortable for their residents. Information gathered during the survey will be used to select houses which qualify for rehabilitation work. The initial survey, Mr. McCarthy said, Mill be “drive-by,” conducted by employees of Land and Community Associates. They will look at a variety of home improvement needs, including roof repairs, siding, wells and septic drainfields, windows and other weatherproofing, electrical improvements and other repair needs. . “The intent of the survey is to find out the type and extent” of housing problems in the county, Mr. McCarthy said. “It will assess the cost to bring the house up to code standards for safety.” Most of the survey work will be done in and around the county’s villages, including Washington, Sperryville, Flint Hill, WoodviUe, Laurel Mills and Chester Gap. During July and August, Land and Community Associates representatives Mill be talking with occupants of housing identified as possibly qualifying for grant assistance. The surveyors will identify themselves vrith business cards and a letter of introduction from Mr. McCarthy. The surveyors may take photographs of the residences to document the need for repairs or rehabilitation. Mr. McCarthy stressed that all responses to the surveys are confidential, and there is no obligation for anyone to participate in the program. Actual rehabilitation through the program will be dependent on the county applying for and receiving grant funds next year, he said. Eligible residents will be contacted later about actually participating in the program. The rehabilitation grants, Mr. McCarthy said, are available to both owner-occupied and rental housing. “Your responses wil determine whether a housing rehabilitation program is needed in the county,” Mr. McCarthy said. “Information you provide may be used to request funds from the state to help pay for housing repairs. Please cooperate with survey workers that you may see in your neighborhood or who know on your door and request an interview.” Residents with questions about the program, Mr. McCarthy added, should contact him at the county’s Building, Zoning and Administration Office, located on Main Street in Washington, or by calling 675-3342. — Lou Hatter Rendering aid Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter MEMBERS OF THE AMISSVILLE Volunteer Fire Department attend to Georgia Irene Mosser of Luray, who was injured in a one-vehicle accident on U.S. 211 July 2. According to Trooper H. A. Newlin, Mrs. Mosser was westbound about 1 1/2 miles east of Ben Venue when her 1987 Dodge pickup ran off the left side of the road, crossing the median strip and the eastbound lanes, down a steep embankment, through a fence, across a field and into the woods, finally coming to rest in a creek about 100 yards from the road. Mrs. Mosser was treated and released at Fauquier Hospital. Trooper Newlin said no cause for the accident could be determined, and he charged her with reckless driving.

So we decided to try something down here,” Mrs. O’Brien said, explaining why the School House Restaurant’s Great American Cookout decided to go “Fantastic” on July 22 with a benefit for the program. In the eight years since Tom and Sheila Baker of Winchester organized the first camping session at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center for a handful of kids, Camp Fantastic and Special Love have grown.

Bob Dunphy, Pastor Family Worship Center ioiy^iqle/ HEARING FROM HEAVEN All of God’s children should be hearing from their Father. If you are not hearing from heaven, it is for one of two reasons. (1) You are not his child. (2) You ale not waiting on him. Jesus said in Matthew 26:40 & 41, “What, could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Acts 9:31 talks about walking in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and then they were multiplied. All children should be walking with their Father God, so that his thoughts would be their action. Then we will be in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 2:12 & 13 says “Now we have received, not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which mans wisdom teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” You see, Jesus told us when he went to the cross that he would send another comforter. Do you think he was telling the truth? Read John 14:16 & 26, John 15:26 and John 16:1315. As a child of God, I can testify that Jesus will hear you and he will speak to you through his spirit to your spirit, if you are truly God’s child and you wait on him. doctors and nurses spent a week swimming, hiking, riding horses, learning crafts, singing around campfires and doing everything else that’s a part of summer’s fun. And Special Love’s efforts now extend far beyond August camp days. The organization sponsors reunion weekends for campers and their families in spring and fall, outings to baseball games and amusement parks, ski weekends, All this is possible because of help from friends like Sheila O’Brien. “We hope to be able to raise at least $1,000 for Camp Fantastic, and if the first event is successful, we’ll do more,” Mrs. O’Brien said. Her Great American Cookout promises great eating and great entertainment with the opportunity to contribute to a great cause. The menu for the July 22 event features kebabs grilled on the barbecue, locally grown com roasted on the cob, pasta salads with fresh vegetables from the School House garden, homemade breads, fresh berry shortcakes and liquid refreshements. While dining al fresco with the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains for a backdrop, guests will be treated to the jazz of Pontchartrain Causeway. This six-piece band, featuring trombone, trumpet, clarinet, banjo, bass and drums, plays dancing and listening music in the New Orleans style of the early 1900’s. The group’s musical credits include appearances at the Shoreham Hotel and Colonel Brooks Tavern in Washington, D.C., Alexandria’s Basin Street Lounge, the Roanoke Jazz Festival. Tickets for the Great American Cookout benefit are $25 per person, with $10 from each ticket going to Camp Fantastic. Tickets are available at the School House Restaurant, located on U.S. 522 in the village of Flint Hill (mailing address P.O. Box 31, Flint Hill, Va 22627).

Main St. Culpeper, VA 703-825-9456 'Hero for a day' By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Despite the searing heat Monday, nine-year-old Shaumbay Lynn Fuller Gatewood wanted to play outside. So she ran out the door of the family’s home in Gid Brown Hollow, ignoring her grandmother’s plea to stay inside the cool house. She wanted to be outside, where Sherman Slaughter and Sandy Hart were replacing the muffler on a car in the yard. The two men had jacked up the car to work underneath it, with Mr. Hart holding the muffler in place as Mr. Slaughter tightened the bolts. Suddenly the jack slipped and the car fell, trapping the men beneath it. According to Vivian Gatewood, the next thing she heard was granddaughter Shaumbay running back inside, screaming that Sandy and Sherman were under the car. “I dropped my bike and my drink and ran inside,” Shaumbay said. “I was scared. All I could see was their legs sticking out." Mrs. Gatewood and her daughter Bonita ran outside, expecting the worst. Mr. Slaughter had managed to wriggle from beneath the car, but Mr. Hart was still trapped underneath it, his shoulder pinned by the car’s undercarriage. “Sherman had ahold of the bumper, trying to keep the weight of the car off Sandy,” Mrs. Gatewood remembered. “We called to him, and he answered, said he’d be okay for a minute.” The two women joined Mr. Slaughter, straining to hold the car in place. He grabbed the jack and repositioned it under the bumper, then SHAUMBAY GATEWOOD jacked it back up long enough for Mr. Hart to get out from under the car. Miraculously, neither man was hurt, Mrs. Gatewood said. “I don’t know where the strength came from,” she said. “I told them the good Lord was with them.” And Mrs. Gatewood had nothing but praise for her grand-daughter. “If she hadn’t been outside, we never would have been able to hear them yelling for help because of the air-conditioning.” Despite the fact that Shaumbay had ignored her plea to stay inside, Mrs. Gatewood said she couldn’t be angry with the little girl. “I’m so thankful she went outside to play. She was the hero for a day!” Children flock to library's summer reading program By ELIZABETH JONES Children’s Librarian Fifty-four children explored nature with Nina Stamer during the first session of the Rappahannock County Library Summer Reading Program. They listened to stories and made pictures with nature materials. During the second session, Cindy Andreoni helped the children explore the many kinds of humor to be found in a library. She had examples of jokes, humorous stories, poems, songs, and facts. Jean Falk Wright will present a program on exploring movement on July 18. On July 25, Virginia Scott will present dramatized folk songs. She has performed .at many local schools, libraries and camps. Children may still register to become a part of the Summer Reading Program. We hope as many children as possible will participate. They can have fun exploring the library, reading books, and helping to raise money for the library building fund at the same time. The Rappahannock National Bank has pledged $1 to the library’s building drive for every book read and recorded as part of the Summer Reading Program.

Thf Audit Bureau THURSDAY, JULY 12,1990 War on drugs The announcement that Rappahannock County has joined in a regional task force to combat drugs is welcome news. While many residents may feel that our rural location leaves us immune to the scourge now ravaging Washington, D.C., Richmond and other nearby cities and towns, most law enforcement officials with knowledge of the area’s drug trade say that increased enforcement in the more urban areas has driven the dealers into the countryside. Evidence of that movement may be found in the recent surge of drug arrests in Culpeper and Fauquier counties. With limited manpower and resources, local police and sheriffs departments cannot hope to match the money spent by drug distributors in the area. But the combined efforts of neighboring jurisdictions, which can pool manpower, money and other resources, may help stem the flow of drugs through our region. Witness the recent seizure of 17 pounds of marijuana in Culpeper — the first such bust by the newly-formed task force. There is little evidence of drug activity in Rappahannock County, but as Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke pointed out, appearances can be deceiving. In a close-knit community like ours, such activity would be quickly noticed. But the drugs of choice these days: cocaine, crack and “ice,” are not so bulky that substantial quantities can’t be concealed in ordinary vehicles which would not arouse suspicion traveling our back roads. It is possible, Mr. Luke suggested, that although retail drug sales are rare, there could be major distribution or shipment operations going on in the county. There is a history of such activity in the nottoo-distant past. Mr. Luke, by his acknowledgement that there are apparently on-going investigations in this area, has given fair warning. The users and distributors of illegal drugs will be pursued and prosecuted, and the new regional drug task force is merely the newest weapon in the Commonwealth’s arsenal. Congratulations, TSA! There’s not too much more we can say to the members of Rappahannock County High School’s chapter of the Technology Students of America, who returned from the national convention with an armful of awards. The students and their faculty advisors should be proud of their achievement. It is merely the latest evidence that the county’s commitment to educating its students in state-ofthe-art technology is more than useless fluff. It is evidence, too, that big is not necessarily better. The TSA chapter has certainly put Rappahannock County on the map, and we congratulate them on their efforts — and their rewards.

CATHY LANE Secretary, CCVFD Castleton Direct mail not a waste To the editor: Your May 3 edition’s “Letter to the editor” on name removal from mailing lists and the environment has come to our attention, and we would like to offer another point of view. Your writer notes that 44 percent of direct mail is never opened or read. It may interest you to note that in 1989, 91.7 million adults shopped by mail or phone, according to the Simmons Market Research Bureau. And, a recent survey by the United States Postal Service found that 82.5 percent of catalogs are considered useful or interesting, and 91.3 percent of households are satisfied with mail-order companies’ service. These statistics indicated that people are happily shopping by mail in growing numbers. Unscrupulous loggers following gypsy GOOD THING THOSE NICE FELLOWS CAME ALONG AND SAVED US FROM OUR GYPSY MOTH INFESTED TIMBER / A KINDER, GENTLER NATION Mail Preference Service was created in 1971 to provide consumers with a choice of whether or not to receive direct mail. Further, we do not believe that the solution to the environmental problems is as simple as being removed from as many mailing lists as possible. Consumers who shop by mail are not polluting the environment with exhaust fumes from cars used when shopping in stores. In order to identify ways in which direct marketers can support environmentally sound practices, the Direct Marketing Association has formed a Task Force on Environmental Issues. We have indicated our commitment to helping to save the environment for future generations by its formation. Toward that end, the task force is conducting a survey of the DMA membership to determine the level of awareness and action on the part of its individual member companies. We would be happy to act as a resource on future stories on any aspect of direct marketing. Please call on us if we can be of help. CONNIE F. HEATLEY Direct Marketing Assn.

His donation of a completely installed satellite dish system for us to raffle off enabled us to raise $2,300 toward our Pavilion Buidling Fund Drive. Congratulations to Tammy Ramey, the winner of our raffle. It is because of continued support from local businesses such as Via Satellite (and private . donations) that our center is in its fourteenth year of operation. I am hopeful that the goodwill he generated through his donation will come back to his business. We all need to make a point of patronizing businesses with a vested interest in our community. We would not be here today if it were not for benefactors such as Jeff LeHew. ROSE ANN SHARP Director, CCLC Washington Electrical cooperative management questioned To the editor: As captive members of the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative we must as members begin to take an active roll and question the rates that we all must pay for electrical service. Also, we need to examine the type of management at the R.E.C. that forces us to pay one of the highest utility rates in the state of Virginia. Would you believe R.E.C. members pay $83.69 per 1,000 kilowatt hours as compared to Potomac Edison customers, who pay $60.71 per kilowatt hours? Through recent investigations of the management at R.E.C. we have discovered that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been wasted. But what is the big deal? Apparently none, because the cost is just passed along to us, the unsuspecting captive member. So let the waste continue! Rappahannock Electric Cooperative will just file a rate increase request with the blessings of the State Corporation Commission and the uncontrolled waste will continue. Our local representatives to this outrage are the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative Board of Directors. They are nominated by themselves and elected by a small number of members and member proxies at the annual meeting. They appear to be more interested in meetings, all expenses paid, at Disney World, Las Vegas or wherever, than they are at controlling R.E.C. management, waste, employment practices and the rates we the members ultimately must pay. Do you realize that even after national job searches three of the four top officers recently promoted at R.E.C. do not meet minimum job requirements as set by Rappahannock Electric Cooperative? However, they do socialize with the General Manager, whose home, by the way, is not even serviced by R.E.C. We assume, by the promotions, that the new managers are at least connected. It would appear to us that the employees at the Old Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative in Culpeper have faired the worse after the 1980 merger with the Bowling Green Electric Cooperative, which created R.E.C. Many of the N.P.E.C. managers and employees have been eliminated over the last 10 years. We must state for the record however, that there are many, many excellent R.E.C. employees who keep the cooperative operating and should be commended for their outstanding contributions. Our point is simple. Things are not as they appear at R.E.C. We will pay more and more for electricity until we take an active roll in the management of “our” electric cooperative. If you would like to join with us, The Consumers Against Rappahannock Electric (CARE) aftd find out what R.E.C. members can do to stop the waste and maximize efficiency, which will actually reduce our rates, send a postcard to: WE C.A.R.E., P.O. Box 1352, Culpeper, VA 22701. Local meetings will be held in your area soon to discuss our investigation findings and the future of R.E.C. Watch your local paper for details. R. DEAN IRVINE Madison

HAWKINS Rappahannock N*w« Contributing Writer Adam came to Hawkridge to be the founding gander of a flock of white, emden geese, but his first mate, Eve, died, and the replacement Eva wandered off, leaving him the full run of the farm. Geese mate for life, so they say, and we wondered how Adam would adapt to the new situation. The first indication came one winter evening when I was closing the door of his pen as a protection against predators. As I bent over to close the latch, he rushed up and gave me a peck in the rear. That’s what they mean by being “goosed,” I suppose, and I can say from personal experience that it is not a pleasant sensation. My wife, Julia, understands birds and animals better than I do, and she thought Adam was not being mean, he was just telling me something. I went back down to the pen with a flashlight, and sure enough, I had inadvertently left his metal corn feeder hanging up too high, out of beak-reach. I unhooked it and lowered it down to the proper level, keeping my rear end safely out of the way. Adam stood there serenely making a gentle clucking sound, and when everything was to his liking, he let me get out through the door with my dignity unharmed. The goose pen was built under the verandah of the farmhouse, with a fenced enclosure on the south side. Since the farmhouse is on the side of a hill, this was quite a vantage point, with a distant view of the meadow and the approach of the long curving driveway. Adam would stand in the enclosure and make his flocking call at any object that caught his fancy. We drive a brown station wagon, and he took to trumpeting each time he saw us coming. Neighbors said they could hear the noise even when we were at the farm gate, well out of sight of the house. He started to greet other brown cars, then blue cars, then pickups. Helicopters were his main joy though, and he would give the loudest call when one of these occasionally flew over. It is easy to see how those geese of ancient Rome woke up the citizens when the Barbarians attempted to sneak in for a surprise attack. Geese are good watchdogs, and good walkers. In England in the 18th century it was traditional to drive the geese to market in flocks. East Anglia, with its flat, lush marshes, raised excellent table birds, and the farmers drove them along the King’s Highway from Norwich all the way to London, a distance of 114 miles. We eventually gave up the idea of a flock of geese on the farm (who would want all that noise?), and Perspective FORMED IN 1833 FROM CULPEPER AND NAMED FOR THE RAPPAHmon RIVER, HEADMTE«DFW‘,! IN THIS COUNTY. slowly Adam changed from a farm animal to a pet. We began to understand his various calls, and he began to understand our English. I won’t mention those impolite four-letter words that spontaneously arise from my British background, but he understood Julia’s clear instructions like “Come on!,” and “Let’s go!.” If I was digging in the garden and I turned up a worm, I shouted “Adam, worm!,” and each time he would come running, neck down, ready for the feed. He took those worms straight off the shovel. I suppose one could say he was “shovelfed.” As time went by he became even more of a pet, and more petted. He took to Julia, and she stroked his feathers. With his clumsy webbed feet he liked to stand on her lap, and he refused to go to the stream for a swim unless Julia led the way. She took over the chores of the watering, the com supply, and the greens. He even followed her into the house one day, walking right through the hallway out onto the verandah. Because of frosts we had to place his water supply on a heated plate in the winter months. This was electrically heated, and to monitor the operation, we put a 7-watt bulb in the circuit. Adam appreciated the light more than the heated water, and he roosted by it in the long dark nights. Julia remarked that he must be the only goose in Rappahannock County with a personal night light. As Julia became his friend, I became his enemy - or more correctly, competitor. Adam took to showing how fierce and protective he was by rushing at me in a mock attack, and then pad, pad, padding back to Julia, head-high, and noisy. <NAPA> LEGEND" BETTER BATTERY BETTER PRICE!

He found he could peck me in the anjdes, and on the legs, and my shouting at him seemed only to make matters worse. Somehow I had to show this ornery creature that Julia really belonged to me. The solution was simple — I gently boxed his ears! Yes, geese do have ears, they are in small holes in the feathers, just below and behind the eyes. What I was doing was just what the leader of the flock would do. I was raising my huge “wings,” and striking a warning blow. Fortunately Adam doesn’t interfere with me too much when I am alone and doing jobs around the farm. He stands back at a safe distance when I move the hay, and keeps clear of the wheelbarrow when I am moving soil. I do most of my wood-sawing in his living quarters, under the verandah, and he doesn’t seem to mind. While the powersaw is running he makes a continuous clucking sound, and looks at me sideways-on with one curious eye. Hammering nails also keeps Culpeper Fest The ninth annual CulpeperFest will be held Thursday, July 19 from 5-8 p.m. at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises on U.S. 29 South. CulpeperFest is an area extravaganza featuring a bountiful picnic, musical entertainment, and many interesting displays and prizes by local him interested, but here he sticks his neck out, and gets his head dangerously close to the hammer. We have yet to work out a compromise arrangement over my tool box, however. I have a large tool box, with a tray on the top where I keep my small handtools — pliers, screwdrivers and things. One day I happened to leave it open on the front terrace, because I had gone off to fix something at the back of the house. When I came back, a half hour later, I found all the tools scattered around the box, and Adam standing in the middle of the array. He had taken them out, one by one, and set them on the ground just like I would do if I was getting ready to repair something. What was worse, he wouldn’t let me near. Clearly, by his hisses and threats he was letting me know those shiny tools were his, not mine, and it was not until Julia drove him into his pen for the night that I could get my tool box back.

Conyers House sponsors innkeeping seminar On Sunday, July 22, the Conyers House in Slate Mills will sponsor an innkeeping seminar for aspiring and working innkeepers and bed and breakfast proprietors. The course will be led by Sandra Cartwright-Brown, who has taught 14 such workshops since 1987. An innkeeper since 1981, Mrs. Cartwright-Brown said, “If you intend to operate a three to six-room bed and breakfast, you’ll be best served by taking a course offered by someone whose experience reflects that, rather than someone who has 20 rooms and a restaurant.” The Conyers House started as a five bedroom bed and breakfast, but became a country inn in 1984 after having exceeded the state and county-mandated limit of six rooms in 1984, according to Mrs. Cartwright-Brown. At present the inn offers eight bedrooms, a restaurant and has an ABC license to serve alcoholic beverages to its guests. The seminar will begin at 10 a. m. with a presentation led by Marianne Corbin, MSA, the training and development coordinator with the Virginia Department of Education. She will address the tourist market and how to capture a share, developing a business plan, as well as how to make a bed and breakfast distinctive and memorable. Following lunch, Mrs. Cartwright-Brown will lead a behind-thescenes tour of the Conyers House. The afternoon session will concentrate on innkeeping procedures, taxes and audits, employees, building and zoning considerations, health regulations, advertising and publicity, insurance and other related topics. The seminar will end between 4 and 5 p.m. The morning session is open to former seminar participants as well as current innkeepers at a cost of $20. The day-long seminar, including lunch, will cost $100 per person. For more information, or to register, call the Conyers House, (703) 987-8025. REV. DAVID HYMES Rev. Hymes to speak at Sperryville Rev. David Hymes, Assemblies^ of God missionary to Japan, will be guest speaker at Sperryville Assembly of God, on July 18 at 7 p.m. according to the pastor, Rev. Ray Campbell Sr. Rev. Hymes holds graduate degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary. He plans to teach at Central Bible College in Tokyo and he and his wife, Anna, hope to take part in a church planting ministry as well. Bom and raised in Japan as the son of Assemblies of God missionaries, he already speaks fluent Japanese. The Japan Assemblies of God was formed in 1949 as a result of the combined efforts of missionaries from Canada, Great Britain and the United States. The national headquarters is in Tokyo and includes Central Bible College. The Japanese Assemblies consists of about 150 churches scattered through the islands and divided into 10 districts. Rev. Hymes has worked as an assistant pastor of the Japanese Assembly of God in San Jose, California. It was at his most recent pastorate in Cambridge, Massachusetts that he felt God’s confirming call to Japan. “We are very aware of the spiritual struggles which abound,” Rev. Hymes says. “We want God’s work done through us with signs and wonders.” The Humes are encouraging prayer for a breakthrough in J apan. The public is invited to hear Mr. Hymes speak on July 18 about his desire to reach the million of Japanese spritually imprisoned on their island home.

NEW BEGINNINGS An eerie curtain of grey fog lingers ghostlike at the base of the mountains and hovers over the hushed valley below. Yet, the early morning sky is tinted with heather hues of delicate pink and lavender, as if airbrushed by an unseen artist. The scene is almost hypnotizing, but suddenly the trance is broken as a brilliant color display takes shape behind the slate blue mountains. Neon shades of bright pink, then fuschia, followed by yellow gold and finally fiery red and orange wake up the sleepy sky. The sun slowly rises with its menagerie of colors. God has given us a new day, heralded by all of the drama and excitement of the sunrise, setting the stage for a new beginning. He gives us this gift each day of our lives. We can depend on the sunrise. We can depend on God. Worship Him this week and thank Him for new beginnings.

Whether you are buying or selling real estate, it's in your best interest to have your own attorey. Legal advice is like insurance—you never know whether you'll need it until it's too late. Real estate trans actions can be full of pitfalls. Belter to be guided around one than to fall in—especially when the stakes are so high. If you do decide to have your own lawyer, select the proper one. Lawyers, like doc tors, specialize, so consult an attorney who is experienced in real estate, not one who spe cializes in divorces. Its always appropriate to discuss fees in advance. Extra charges may lx* acceptable if an unforeseen snag arises, but a lawyer should be able to estimate the fee for your transaction. The proper time to consult an attqrney is BEFORE you sign a contract for sale. If you take an executed contract to a lawyer, there's little he can do but tell you where you may have gone wrong. Paying for hindsight is something you don't need. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M.

The many isolated areas of the county would be an ideal spot for a manufacturing or transshipment operation, he said. An undercover operation against such a target would be “very difficult” with the limited resources of the local Sheriffs Office, Mr. Luke said. The task force brings financial benefits, as well.“The main advantage is it enables all of us to get some money that before we didn’t get,” Special Agent Clarke said. Drug task forces are eligible for state funds for undercover drug buys and to pay informants, he explained. And, Sheriff Woodward added, any property confiscated as a result of drug violations will be sold under federal law and the money split between the nine jurisdictions, with the federal government keeping a 10 percent “handling fee.” This will allow the local departments to recoup, for the first time, some of the costs of drug investigations. Using State Police radio equipment makes communication between the officers easier. “In the past, each county had different radio equipment, and you couldn’t talk to each other,” Clarke said. Now, the Statewide Interdepartmental Radio System (SIRS) allows officers from all jurisdictions to communicate with each other and with the dispatch center in any county. Since working undercover is more difficult in small towns where everybody tends to know everybody else, officers from other jurisdictions in the task force will be able to assist with such investigations. “It does give you some new faces you can use,” said Clarke. Sheriff Woodward said that all the officers assigned to the task force will be sworn as state law enforcement agents, giving them powers of arrest throughout the Commonwealth. It is possible, the sheriff said, that some personnel may be “swapped” with similar task forces operating in other regions of the state, allowing even more “unknown faces” to be used. Rappahannock County will contribute one officer to the task force, Sheriff Woodward said, although he declined to identify the deputy. The county’s Board of Supervisors authorized the sheriff to hire an extra deputy last month, freeing one of his “seasoned” officers for task force duty. Since the task force just recently began, it hasn’t made many big attention-getting drug busts. Shortly after the task force formed, officers seized 17 pounds of marijuana in Culpeper County — the largest pot seizure in that county, Clarke said. “That’s the type of thing we like to get them doing,” he said. Elsewhere in the state, task forces are spending a year or more investigating intricate drug conspiracies. Clarke said eventually he would like the task force to get into that aspect. How soon that will happen depends on what investigators discover, he said. Participating in the task force will be officers from the Warrenton, Culpeper, Orange and Gordonsville police departments and the Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison sheriffs offices. The number of jurisdictions involved makes it the largest task force in the state, according to Sheriff Woodward. The task force is headed by a command board of the participating sheriffs offices, and overall supervision and coordination will be provided by Special Agent Clarke. a similar tasK iorce nas operated for the past several years in the Northern Shenandoah Valley and has been responsible for two major drug sweeps and numerous arrests of distributors in Winchester, Warren County and the surrounding rural areas. Mr. Luke said that it may be “some time” before the fruits of the task forces’ investigation are revealed, since undercover investigations are time-consuming and often lead in unexpected directions. Similar operations are underway already in Rappahannock County, Mr. Luke said, warning those who might be predisposed to such conduct that there are “several” task forces and “at least one” special grand jury “now operating in Rappahannock County . . . and that doesn’t count the Feds — God knows what they’re doing.” That is “message number one,” Mr! Luke said. “There are active, on-going investigations. We don’t publicize them,” and often indictments may be returned in localities other than the place where the activity took place. Sometimes, he added, indictments may be kept secret for some time to allow the subject to cooperate against other suspects. However, he warned, the seeming lack of activity can be deceiving, Mr. Luke said, and sometimes even the investigators are surprised by the turns a case may take. “In drug prosecutions, I have learned not to take anything for granted.” Fourth Continued from page 1 been deterred by the 90 degree-plus heat and the one day break, but there were plenty of county residents and tourists to keep the Independence Day spirit alive and make the day a success. “We had few glitches all day,” Chief Roach said, although he admitted the plan to charge a $2 parking fee at two designated lots didn’t work out because of a lack of volunteers to staff the positions. The idea was advanced as an attempt to keep parking along the town streets, and the resulting traffic jams, to a minimum. And traffic there was, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward. Though cars and pedestrians flowed smoothly during the day, by evening it ground to a halt as more visitors arrived for the program of music, games and fireworks on the lawn of Avon Hall. “We finally had to close the street” in front of Avon Hall, the sheriff said, as cars tried to squeeze into every available inch of parking along the roads. Out on U.S. 211, cars were parked bumper to bumper along the shoulders as well, creating a hazard for motorists not stopping in Washington. Sheriff Woodward said that his department and the State Police expected to be busy with traffic control as people left after the fireworks display, but that this was the first year he had to assign deputies to keep the cars moving before the evening program. Several estimates put the crowd on the lawn of Avon Hall at between 4,000 and 5,000 people. “I would hate to put a number on it,” Chief Roach said, “but I can’t remember when the crowd was that large.” Of the planned attractions, only the University of Virgin ia’s medical evacuation helicopter, Pegasus, was a noshow. “They were called out for several emergencies during the day,” Chief Roach said, and sent their regrets. Though the vendors began packing their wares in the late afternoon, the venue merely shifted to the lawn in front of Avon Hall, the Carrigans’ home. There was music, Arabian horses strutted and children were delighted with games organized by the Child Care and Learning Center. Hot and tired spectators spread out blankets on the shady hill behind the courthouse to enjoy a picnic dinner before the fireworks display. Mr. Carrigan addressed the crowd briefly, using Beryamin Franklin’s “Motion for Prayers in the Convention,” an oration delivered during deliberations leading to the Declaration of Independence, as a reference. Mr. Carrigan urged the crowd, as Mr. Franklin urged his contemporaries, to invoke “divine Providence” on our behalf. “To that kind Providence,” Mr. Franklin said, “we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? or do we imagine we no longer need its assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men.” And as dusk fell, bringing finally a cooling breeze through the trees, as the National Anthem played and the fireworks burst above Avon Pond, the applause of the crowd left no doubt as to the day’s success. “It was probably one of our best displays,” Chief Roach said of the fireworks. But with this year’s success scarcely a week old, Chief Roach and the Washington VFD are already looking ahead to the 30th anniversary cele- * bration next year.

Meeting Continued from page 1 “I am one citizen,” Mr. Eastham told the Congressman, “who is damn fed up with the idea that somewhere down the line it will cost billions. We’ve got to pay the bill, and what are Congressmen and Senators doing to cope with the payment, and what are you proposing aside from revenge to see that it never can happen again? Otherwise we have learned nothing.” Rep. Slaughter said, “We must make the greatest efforts we can for the enforcement of the law. We should do something about fraud laws.” “The FDIC is maybe not as bad as the FSLIC,” Mr. Eastham said. “Those people just went on picnics. They should be hanged.” Maurice Herndon said he had spent “some years on the Hill. The American Bankers Association was the most powerful lobby in Washington. Their thrust was to get out of regulation, to be turned loose, and it was more or less the same with the savings and loans. many oi us as nepuDUcans nave been trying to get the government out of businesses,” Mr. Herndon said. “When the savings and loans were turned loose, I had friends with the savings and loan lobby. It was not their intent to have happen what did happen. It was well intended when it started.” Mr. Herndon also commended Rep. Slaughter for being labelled a “quiet” man in Time magazine. Nol Putnam said that the amount of money for the NEA was “no more than the government spends on military bands. But the effects are wonderful when they come to the local community.” He said funds from NEA would be used so groups of children could come to his forge in Warrenton to see how blacksmthing is done. “The bulk of the money goes to quiet work. It’s small support to enrich the lives of children. In 20 years the NEA has made two mistakes. I hope you can be persuaded to change your mind.” “I can’t change my mind,” Rep. Slaughter said. ‘We find out how you stand after the fact,” Mr. Putnam said. “How can we have impact before? Is there nothing we can say to make you change your mind?” “I think it’s bad policy to support funds for pornography,” Rep. Slaughter said. Claudia Putnam said she also supports NEA funding. She said that grants from the NEA have been used to support the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, the Middle Street Gallery, and artists in residence in the schools. “None of this concerns pornography. I don’t believe anybody in Rappahannock County is concerned that funds from NEA have been used to support pornography in Rappahannock.” I 1 READY FOR YOUR PERSONAL TOUCH!

Owner/Agent. 703-937-5703 or 703-675-3548 Edith Pond said, “The NEA hasn’t just made two mistakes. The two mistakes were of such magnitude there was no burying it. This is important to Rappahannock people, not because it happened in Rappahannock County, but because it happened in the United States paid for by taxes. Discussions of what NEA supports or doesn’t support shouldn’t be referred to as censorship. Choices should be free but not paid for by tax money.” Robert Miko raised a number of concerns. He said that a study of the savings and loan problem had shown that the cost was $2,000 for every individual in the country. “The people who were supposed to be the watchdogs didn’t do their jobs. The five Senators should be called to task too,” referring to the so-called “Keating Five,” United States Senators who met privately with savings and loan magnate Charles Keating, who was under investigation by federal regulators. The five senators also received campaign contributions from Keating. Mr. Miko also said a study siiuweu tiie government cuuiu raise as much money from income taxes “if every person paid 17 percent. The government could make more money than what the system is today. So many people skirt around paying taxes.” He said he also supports the line item veto “so the President can line out these things instead of accepting the whole package.” Mr. Miko also spoke on immigration. “We’re all concerned about the health of senior citizens. There are studies of smoking. As a person gets older, sooner or later they will be a burden on the rest of us. Anybody who is smoking, just don’t let them in.” He noted that $3 billion of foreignaid was going to Israel. “That’s a hell of a lot of money for a little country,” he said. Finally he suggested that Senators be limited to two six-year terms. “They forget the common people,” he said. He suggested that Congressmen be limited to six twoyear terms. “Then they’ve got to get out,” he said. “Of course, once they get out, then they become lobbyists.” Diane Wood said her concerns were “child care, health and the environment.” She said she had quit her teaching job to stay home with her children. She said more and more studies “agree children need to be cared for by a parent.” She said she sees many of her friends returning to work and paying someone else care to for their children. “They had their salary and child care credit” on income taxes while she wasn’t eligible for that credit. “We need federal government incentives to help families raise children.” She said she was also concerned about health insurance and the malpractice problem, particularly in obstetrics. Rep. Slaughter said there had been several child care bills in the Congress. “The child care legislation I favored would not have provided HARPER VALLEY in LURAY VIRGINIA Country building site, IV* acres well drained wooded building tract.

They would receive financial benefits without regulatory authorities,” he said. Sheila Sweet said, “I immigrated before I started smoking. I am concerned about the problem in Quebec. I would like to have English as the national language. Canada did not do this 200 years ago and will now break up.” Rep. Slaughter said, “I agree English should be the official language.” C. W. Allison congratulated Rep. Slaughter on boycotting Nelson Mandela’s speech to Congress. “I would like to see the federal government go back to the role it was originally set up for, to keep a standing Army and Navy and take care of veterans,” he said. Mr. Allison said he was going deaf, but the Veterans Administration “would not give me a hearing aid.” He said that more and more services to veterans are “shutting down,” and in the VA hospitals “the same ones we fought are treating us, as doctors. You should cut out the junk like day care. If you’re going to have children, take care of them,” Mr. Allison added. Laurie Marshall said she was concerned that the “nation is about to experience a massive dislocation and loss of jobs” because of new environmental laws and “demilitarization. There is no provision for the people who lose their jobs to get retraining. We must take into account these thousands of people who will lose their jobs. We must use their talents and not have destroyed lives.” Mrs. Marshall said she is also concerned about the issue of “armed struggle.” She noted that Rep. Slaughter had supported the Contras against Nicaragua, but wouldn’t support Mandela because he wouldn’t renounce violence. In Mozambique she said she understands Sen. Jesse Helms, R-NC, and the government of South Africa are supporting an armed struggle against the Marxist government in which “children are the main weapon. If you’re against armed struggle, you have to be against it consistently.” Peter Kreyling urged Rep. Slaughter to support the Keating bill, which requires a six-day waiting period to buy a handgun. He said he is also concerned about the amount of money congressmen were receiving from political action committees (PACs). TSA Continued from page 1 ers explained, but the costs of travel, accomodations and other expenses are usually prohibitive. “This year, 75 percent of the money was provided by the school.” Five of the six representatives are in the gifted and talented program, and the school’s contribution to the trip was drawn from that program. Also helping with the $4,000 cost of the trip were two locally-based corporations, Blue Ridge Technology in Flint Hill and South Wales Corp., a development company based in Culpeper. All of the students had placed among the top in individual and team events at the Virginia TSA competition, held earlier in the spring. At the national conference, Mr. Vickers said, the students could enter other events as well as the ones they had placed in at the state level. Mr. Vickers said that all six of the students “gave up other things to participate in this conference,” and added he was “satisfied and pleased” with each performance. He said Jeremy Tole gave his spot at Boys State to another candidate, Liz Oliver missed a 4-H event and Bryan Clark missed one week of summer camp which he had already planned. But the sacrifices paid off. Besides Dunagan’s first place win in CAD (architectural drawing) and his third place showing in CAD (mechanical drawing), Oliver, Rogers and Clark placed in the top 10 in the nation in several individual events — including a new pilot contest using student-designed and built mousetrap cars, Technology Bowl Levels I and II, written and oral presentations, bridge building and drawing interpretation.

Mr. Vickers added that the students also “looked very professional,” wearing their navy TSA blazers, red ties, white shirts and gray slacks or skirts. Even though 14-year-old Dunagan, the son of Tony and Fransi Dunagan of Boston, is familiar with competition, he said he felt competition at the national level as stiff and that the other students were wellprepared for their events. Earlier this year, Dunagan won the Rappahannock County Elementary School science fair, where his project was named “Best in Show,” and he brought home a third place for the same project from the regional science fair. He won awards at TSA’s regional competition in CAD, extemporaneous speaking and creed competitions. He said that the Pennsylvania youth who took first place in CAD (mechanical drawing), told the judges that the project he had been assigned was familiar and he needed a more difficult problem. “I knew then I wasn’t winning,” Dunagan said of the three-hour competition, in which he and 25 other students had to identify an object from an isometric drawing. Through work during the school year and preparatory sessions before the national competition, Dunagan said he felt prepared to complete his CAD architectural problem: converting a garage into a family room and adding another garage.
