Flint Hill Carnival Outstanding' By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer With four evenings of unseasonably pleasant weather, the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department’s annual carnival was one of the most successful ever. “It was an outstanding success,” according to Moe Walker. “In fact, it was the best one in the history of the fire company.” He reported that the gross receipts exceeded $41,000. A huge crowd lined the street for the Firemen’s Parade on Thursday night, watching and cheering as fire and rescue apparatus, marching bands, floats and civic groups paraded by in colorful procession. The judges selected the following winners in the Firemen’s Parade (winners are listed in order of finish; first, second and third): Best appearing fire company (towns over 500 population): Warrenton Volunteer Fire Department, Orange Volunteer Fire Department, McLean Volunteer Fire Department Best appearing fire company (towns under 500 population): Amissville Volunteer Fire Depart MISS VIRGINIA IS A perennial favorite at Flint Hill’s parade.

It will be several years before the system can be installed, but in the meantime all the money raised by the surcharge will be kept in a separate account specifically earmarked for the “E-9-1-1” system. Once the costs of installing the system have been repaid through the surcharge, the fee can probably be reduced to about 50 cents per month. County Administrator John McCarthy told the board at its public hearing Monday evening. Once the “Enhanced 9-1-1” system is in place, residents with fire, rescue or law enforcement emergencies can dial 9-1-1 instead of the seven-digit number now in use. When the connection is made, a computer screen in the Sheriffs Department dispatch office will show the number the call is coming from and the precise location of the house, along with directions from the nearest fire station. At the public hearing Donald Gore, president of the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association, said that in years past when a call was received the members knew where everyone in their area lived. “Now there are so many new people living in the county and so many new people in the squads, they don’t know,” he said. “It’s disheartening to get a call today. People hang up on you. This system can do away with that. People moving in expect this service,” he said. Lou Hatter, speaking as a member of the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad, urged support for the surcharge. “If it takes a couple of years to get the money, people will understand that,” he said. “When people call See SURCHARGE, p. 15 Orchardists harvest only disappointment By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Seasonal peaches and apples may be a scarce commodity around Rappahannock County this year due to late spring freezes. Virginia’s 1990 peach crop, "is forecast at 2.5 million pounds,” according to Robert Graham, a statistician for the Virginia Agricultural Statistics Service in Richmond. His office reports this figure is low compared to 1988’s 29 million pound peach crop and 19S9’s 15 million pound crop, though the last figure compares with this year’s damaged total. See HARVEST, p. 16 Smith seeks debate series Slaughter declines, calls it play for press By BURKE DAVIS III Arund«l Newspapers Staff Writer Democratic candidate David Smith tried to light a fire under the Seventh District Congressional race Monday, challenging Republican incumbent D. French Slaughter Jr. to a series of debates. Mr. Smith’s invitation came in a letter that he handed to Rep. Slaughter’s chief aide, Rick Holcomb, during a gathering in Winchester of a Realtors’ association. The personal delivery of the letter was written into Mr. Smith’s speech. Holcomb appeared at the campaign event in Rep. Slaughter’s stead. Rep. Slaughter responded in a letter to Mr. Smith on the same day, sidestepping the invitation without firmly shutting the door on debates. “Certainly as time passes we may have the opportunity for joint appearances,” Mr. Slaughter wrote. Mr. Sijiith called for a series of debates beginning in September. He said that he hopes a “respected, non-partisan organization” will organize and moderate the debates. Campaign manager Susan Platt said later that a Kiwanis Club in the area was considering sponsorship of at least one debate. She said that, as of Tuesday, the Slaughter campaing had not committed to a date. “The voters of the Seventh District expect and deserve a thorough discussion of the issues in order that they may make an informed decision,” Mr. Smith wrote * in his letter to Rep. Slaughter. One issue the challenger can be counted on to attack is the savings and loan bailout. In a press release last week and in his speech to the real estate group in Winchester Mr. Smith hammered on the theme, saying that Rep. Slaughter has voted against civil penalites for savings and loans officers. Mr. Smith issued a press release the day before he hand-delivered the letter to Mr. Holcomb, a fact that Rep. Slaughter aimed at in the opening salvo of his written response. ^ “Since it arrived only after you had released it to the press, that certainly gave the impression it was more of a political statement than a sincere desire to discuss the issues,” Mr. Slaughter wrrote. He went on to write that “joint apearances” won’t take place immediately, because “at the present time, however, I am spending much of my time vigorously opSee DEBATE, p. 16 Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter STATE POLICE BELIEVE alcohol and excessive speed caused this one-car accident Sunday afternoon on U.S. 211 which killed two children. Charges are pending against the driver. Alcohol, speed cited in crash Two children killed in one-car accident By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer ALcohol and excessive speed are suspected as the cause of an accident on U.S. 211 in Culpeper County Sunday afternoon which claimed the lives of two children, according to Virginia State Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell. Ms. Caldwell said that charges are pending against the driver, Melodi A. Goldston, 26, of Manassas. According to the accident report filed by Trooper E.J. Weaver, Ms. Goldston was westbound on U.S. 211 about 1/2 mile east of the Route 229 intersection at Clevenger’s Corner when her car ran off the left shoulder of the road and struck the guardrail. The car, a 1990 Chevrolet Geo Storm, spun around backwards and travelled several hundred feet down the roadway before it ran off the pavement and into the median strip, then slammed into a tree. Ms. Goldston’s son, Michael Strouther, 9, also of Manassas, and Yhamel Sturdivant, 7, of Jeffersonton, who were riding in the front seat, were thrown partially through the rear window of the car by the impact and pinned by its roof. The two children were taken to Fauquier See CRASH, p. 16

Rappahannock National Bank “Your community bank” Hours: Monday - Friday 9 a m.-2 p.m. Friday evenings 5-7 Gay Street, Washington 703-675-3519 IRS seminar teaches electronic tax filing Seminars for tax preparers, bankers, military organization personnel and others interested in participating in the electronic filing program during the upcoming tax filing season will be given by the Internal Revenue Service during the month of August. Hie seminars will be held as follows: • Aug. 20, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and noon to 2 p.m. in Manassas at the Northern VA Community College. • Aug. 22, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and noon to 2 p.m. in Williamsburg, at the Williamsburg Regional Library. • Aug. 24, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in Richmond at the Richmond Public Library. • Aug. 28, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in Roanoke at the Western Community College. • Aug. 29, 10 a.m. to noon in Charlottesville at Jefferson-Madison Regional Library Central Branch. Those who participate in the electronic filing program may transmit tax return data directly to the IRS over telephone lines from their office computers. Electronic confirmation that the return has been re ceived by the IRS is issued within two days of transmission. Taxpayers who file electronically and choose Direct Deposit receive refunds in about two weeks. Those who prefer a check by mail receive it in about three weeks. This is much faster than the six to eight weeks it normally takes to get a refund check when you file a paper tax return, according to an IRS spokesman. Electronically filed returns also have fewer errors. The error rate for electronic returns is about three percent versus 16 percent for returns filed on paper. More than 4.1 million taxpayers filed electronically in 1990 — 120,500 of which were filed from Virginia, which is ranked ninth of all IRS Districts in the nation. More than 550 tax return preparers are actively participating in this program from Virginia. For more information about becoming a participant in the electronic filing program, contact the IRS to register for a seminar. In Richmond, call (804) 649-2361.

French Slaughter Jr. last week called on his colleagues in Congress to stay in session until the Congress’ single most important responsibility is fulfilled. Calling the budget “the most important job this body has before it,” Rep. Slaughter wrote, “You will never catch Congress working harder or later than when a recess if scheduled, and today is no exception. However, . . .we cannot ignore the fact that our most crucial task remains unfinished.” Rep. Slaughter wrote to all members of the House stating, “I urge that we postpone the scheduled re cess and ask the House and Senate budget negotiators to bring us a workable agreement now.” The Congressman decried the lack of summit progress, declaring, . .the Congress is now entering the third month of the so-called budget summit, with little progress to show for its efforts.” “To go home now, represents nothing less than the failure of this body to carry out the trust given to the Congress by the voters and taxpayers of this nation,” Rep. Slaughter said. The August work period will extend from Saturday, Aug. 5 through Labor Day in September.

'Hoover Days' features tours of president's camp Superintendent J.W. Wade of Shenandoah National Park announced that Camp Hoover, the weekend retreat of President Herbert Hoover, will be open to the public Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 11 and 12 and that a stage play portraying the life of the former President’s wife will be presented on Aug. 10 and 11. The camp is located on the Rapidan River on the east side of the Park, four miles from Big Meadow. The buildings, which are normally reserved as VIP guest cabins, will be open for public tours, and free bus transportation will be provided to the camp. This program is scheduled for the weekend closest to the former President’s Aug. 10 birthday and is an annual event at Shenandoah National Park. On Friday and Saturday evenings, a one hour play, “First Lady Lou,” will be presented in the Byrd Visitor Center at Big Meadow on Skyline Drive. Both programs are free to the public. “We hope everyone will take advantage of these special activities,” said Supt. Wade. Camp Hoover was selected by Mr. Hoover shortly after his election in 1928. He was looking for a site near Washington, D.C. with good fishing and no mosquitoes. After selection of the perfect place in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Mr. Hoover purchased the land and building materials, and the U.S. Marine Corps constructed the camp. From 1929 to 1933, the President used the camp as a “Weekend White House” often inviting government officials and foreign dignitaries to enjoy the rustic beauty of the area. The First Lady, Lou Henry Hoover, presided over a “summer camp” atmosphere that was maintained at “Camp Rapidan.” It was here that President Hoover and Great Britain’s Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald held naval arms negotiations in 1929. Upon leaving office, the President donated the land and its 13 rustic cabins to become part of the newly created Shenandoah National Rappahannock News file photo THIS WEEKEND, THE THREE remaining cabins at Camp Hoover in Shenandoah National Park will be open for public tours. Park. His deed of trust required that the area continue to be used as a retreat for high government officials. Today, Camp Hoover is a special part of Shenandoah National Park, rich in scenic beauty and human history. Three of the original buildings have been preserved and restored. As stipulated by President Hoover, the cabins are used as V.I.P. guest accommodations. However, during the “Hoover Days” weekend, the public will be able to enjoy the rustic elegance of Herbert Hoover’s fishing camp. Interpretive tours of the two main buildings will be offered both days and transportation will be provided from the Harry F. Byrd Visi tor Center, at Milepost 51 on the Skyline Drive, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A sandwich concession will be available at the camp. Specially scheduled guided hikes will leave from the Visitor Center each day at 10 a.m. and from Milam Gap, Mile 52.8, at 1 p.m. Participants are encouraged to wear proper foot-gear for a 3-4 mile hike. The original stage production, “First Lady Lou,” is a one-actress, two act play, portraying hirst Lady Lou Henry Hoover at two different periods of her life. The play is sponsored by the Shenandoah Natural History Association in cooperation with the Hoover Presidential Library Association. The play stars actress Jody Hovland and provides insights into the life of one of America’s most interesting first ladies. Two presentations of this production will be offered, at 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday evenings, Aug. 10 and 11, at the Byrd Visitor Center. Limited seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and the doors will be open at 7:15 p.m. While all regularly scheduled daytime interpretive programs will be canceled on Saturday and Sunday in the Big Meadow area, the evening programs at the Big Meadow Amphitheater will be presented at 8:45 p.m. each night. Day care providers needed for pilot program By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent Child care providers are valuable people in the lives of many parents and children. To study the needs of day care providers, we are recruiting providers to participate in two pilot training programs. We need your help!!! The program includes free resources in child care and development, a one-to-one training program with an indivdualized learning plan, all training will be planned to meet your schedule in your home and no outside travel is necessary. There is no cost and free learning materials will be provided. Participants will learn new ideas about child care with training in tune to your schedule. Participants will receive a certificate of completion from Virginia Tech. With increased training, parents may find your services more valuable. The program is selfpaced.

The rumor keeps popping up: Tom Cruise is moving to Warrenton. Rumor number one, heard three weeks ago: WQRA “Sunny 94” radio announced that the star of “Top Gun,” “Rain Man” and the current box office hit “Days of Thunder” had bought Menlough, once the home of fellow actor Chad Everett. Reporters don’t like to go immediately to competing media for their information. Instead, for confirmation, this reporter tried to find a listener who had actually heard the news item broadcast. There were plenty of people whose neighbor’s best friend had heard the news on WQRA. But when you track down the neighbor and then the best friend, it turns out the best friend’s cousin’s neighbor heard it. And so on. Finally, the move you hate: ask the competing media. The answer from WQRA? A flat “No.” And so it went, from rumor to rumor. They have grown in the past month from the mild (he went through the checkout line at Giant) to the wild (he appeared at Giant, was mobbed by a crowd of women and it they had to call the cops to free the poor man). Charles Ebbets admitted two weeks ago that he may have started at least one of the rumors. He teased his daughter when she said she was not coming home for a weekend, as planned. “I said, that’s too bad, because we’re having dinner this Saturday with some actor fellow, he’s been in some movie about pilots and now he’s in some movie that’s out about cars and he’s supposedly been in a movie with Dustin Hofftnan and one with Paul Newman.” Pause. “Daddy, do you mean Tom Cruise?!?!” “Cruise, yeah, that’s the name,” Mr. Ebbets, a practical joker from way back, said. When he speaks to groups in the county he keeps them in stitches. And in this case he forgot to tell his daughter it was a joke when she did in fact come home a couple of weeks later and she told everybody Cruise had moved in. So Ebbets the real estate agent claims. Maybe he knows something; real estate contracts are kept as hush-hush as any legal document, and brokers are tighter-lipped than lawyers. So the dogged reporter keeps sniffing. Like a hurricane spawning tornadoes, the Cruise rumors have roared and spun through town, touching down whimsically here and there, leaving devastation all about. A lead comes, a woman who has definitely heard from a real estate agent that for sure, without a question, Cruise has bought a certain house. In most of these rumors the woman is not findable. In this case, she is found, she is called, and she reports: “All I know is what I heard from See CRUISE, p. 15 FREESTONE PEACHES (Crop is light) AND RAMBO APPLES Selling 7 Days a Week Direction*: 26 mile* west of Warrenton to St. Rt. 628 off Rt. 211 at Washington, Va. at the old homeplace.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. Audit Bureau THURSDAY, AUGUST 9,1990 Buckle up kids, too Last week, the Washington Post reported the sobering statistic that use of child safety seats and other restraints is down in Virginia — and more children are dying in automobile accidents in the Commonwealth as a result. Those dry statistics became flesh and blood Sunday afternoon on U.S. 211 in Culpeper County. Two boys, ages 7 and 9, died when the car they were riding in ran off the road and hit a tree. Neither, apparently, were restrained by safety belts. Although the trooper who investigated the accident made no judgment as to whether the children might have survived if they had been restrained, it is likely that they would not have been thrown through the car’s rear window if they had been belted into their seats. Two other children in the car, both of whom were restrained by either belts or a child safety seat, received relatively minor injuries. Seat belts and child safety seats are not magic bubbles. They do not prevent all injuries. But, if used properly, they do prevent children from being thrown about the inside of a vehicle or — even worse — thrown out of the vehicle if it is involved in an accident. The use of child restraints is the law in Virginia. Violators may be stopped and ticketed, and fines and points will be assessed if convicted. The DMV notes that, if parents cannot afford the seats, application for a free seat may be made by calling, toll-free, (800) 533-1892. But more than the law, a child’s life is at stake. Children depend on their parents to act in their best interests. Parents who do not provide their children with safety restraints in their cars — and insist that the children use them, are violating that trust. After the accident, it’s too late for second thoughts. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage ENJOYING THE FLINT HILL Carnival, young Ben Luke takes a spin on the kiddie cars. Ben is the son of Peter and Sharon Luke of Amissville. Letters to the editor Return to honest debate To the editor: It was Delegate Raymond Guest’s letter to the editor which has finally prompted me to write, and specifically the phrase “tax and spend liberals.” Mr. Guest joins too many other politicians, journalists and commentators by grinding their particular and peculiar shaped axes rather than using their position of influence to educate. What is needed is a cessation of the screaming rhetoric that comes from both sides of every aisle and an end to the self-serving statements emanating from White House in the name of statemanship, and a return to decency, respect and fair play. It is a wonder that people bother to vote at all given the information we are presented with — 15 second v hey/ what's with THE PRICE INCREASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD/THERE' A WAR ON, MY FRIEND /' ^ILyjEws '/Stef ^AS/oh * ?V»Sf/r let it never be SAID THAT THE 01C COMPANIES FAIL TO L *7 SEIZE THE MOMENT/ sound bites of garbage. Reasonable people may differ in the interpretation of facts — provided all the facts are presented. But that is so seldom the case. And currently the United States has been ruled by rampant partisanship, decisions based on polls, and a collection of cheap shots. To illustrate from Mr. Guest’s letter: “Mr. Slaughter. . .belongs to a party whose bedrock principles are conservative.” Does ‘conservative’ mean fiscally responsible? How then was the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development then allowed to become a political fief under President Reagan to enrich certain Republican developers? At the same time, the regulatory agencies were stripped to the bone as in meat packing, airline inspection, and banking. Is this what conservative means? If indeed the Republican party espouses ‘Free Enterprise’ does that include the looting of the Treasury, the violation of banking trust, the expansion of the Federal debt to one trillion dollars? Pray tell how is that a bedrock principle of conservatism?” There is plenty of blame on Democrats and Republicans, but this took place under a Republican administration — looting, stealing and lying on a scale which makes President Warren G. Harding’s Administration look positively angelic. On "family values.” What does mis phrase mean, Mr. Guest? That inly Republicans have families, or love their children, or want to have s?cure homes for children to grow, or want* good schools, or feel that communities should continue to express a value system? Of course not, t lese are things that everyone wants. There are many different ways to get to the same goal. Why not talk of the particulars and see where we can all come together in agreement. “A strong defense.” Again specifics are needed. To beat a dead horse, do we need $600 hammers, FAX machines that will survive an atamoic blast at ground zero? Bombers that cost billions but which cannot perform at their stated levels and then must be grounded; falsfied tests; weapons systems that are far too complicated to survive the rigors of actual combat; kick backs, cost overruns that would never be countenanced in small businesses; pie in the sky dreams such as “star wars” — perhaps this too is “free enterprise” at work. However, I have believed that the billions invested there might better have gone to feed the three out of five children in America who live in poverty. Their well-being and productive growth into gentle, educated, and responsible adults will do more for American than any Stealth bomber. And if you really want a strong defense then you would standardize the equipment across the services rather than each having its only costly and too often redundant equipment. Do the Marines and the Army really need different troop carriers or radios or helicopters? The always popular “dope dealer and criminals.” We want these people behind bars and we are unwilling to put up more bars. Where is your leadership on this issue? Are you advocating laws against the proliferation of hand guns, or assault rifles, of mandatory testing of weapon familiarization. Are you educating your electorate on the need for more prisons and in your back yard? And finally, Mr. Slaughter does not “have to apologize for his refusal to vote for spending taxpayer dollars to subsidize pornography disguised as art.” Mr. Slaughter was asked this question three times in a recent town meeting and we never did get a straight answer from him it finally came from his assistant. He does not support the funding of the National Endowment for the Arts. No one, no one supports pornography. Do you really believe that is the mission of the National Endowment? Have you visited any of the exhibitions supported by the National Endowment? Are you also advocating by inference that the Virginia Commission for the Arts cease funding various organizations and individuals? Please, Mr. Guest, of the four candidates for the Republican nomi nation for Governor, you were the only one who seemed to have any personal integrity. Don’t now, for the sake of party unity, fall into the trap of sound bite politics and cheap rhetorical slogans. I have never met David Smith. But surely he is an honorable man. Surely he believes in a'strong America, one where we are all safe from fear, from want. Surely he supports good family values that reflect the best of America. I can’t believe he thinks “dope dealers and criminals” should be coddled. And finally, I don’t think Mr. Smith as a conservative Democrat, nor even if he were a liberal Democrat, supports any form ofpornography. Mr. Slaughter ran unopposed in the last election. That may have made him sleep better. And certainly it saved on his postage bill (oops! Make that my postage bill), but as a voter in the Seventh Congressional District, 1 feel much better with a real discussion of the issues. I applaud Mr. Smith in his decision to run against Mr. Slaughter. I look forward to a healthy, honest and real exploration of the political differences between these two Virginians. We as citizens of the Commonwealth and of the United States will be the richer for it. NOL PUTNAM Flint Hill Leadership is the issue To the editor: Recent letters to the editor from Delegate Andy Guest and other Republicans miss the point when they argue that David Smith would be ineffective as a conservative Democrat in Congress. Were that true (and it is not — ask Bill Bradley, Charles Robb or Sam Nunn) it would be a good reason to send more conservative Democrats to Washington. No, political philosophy is not, as Andy Guest apparently concedes, the issue. The issue is leadership. In this respect, David Smith stands head and shoulders above the Republican incumbent. Consider this; the congressional magazine Roll Call, a non-partisan magazine, recently described the Republican candidate as one of the most “obscure” members of Congress. Let’s look at the meaning of the word “obscure.” Some definitions are dark, dim, not clear seen or distinguished, faint, not easily understood, or clearly expressed, remote, secluded, not prominent or famous (Websters .New Collegiate Dictionary). It’s good that a recent letter reminded us that the Republican candidate was on the job. Otherwise, no one would notice. The “obscure” label explains a lot. It explains why the incumbent candidate is ranked as having one of the worst voting records on environmental issues in Congress despite the almost universally recognized need for tough measures to curb polluters like Avtex. David Smith is a fighter, a tireless advocate, a mainstream thinker who will not let Rappahannock and the rest of this area of Virginia be left behind. As a businessman, David Smith builds homes which protect the environment. He supports stiff penalties for savings and loan cheats. His opponent was one of only 41 Congressmen (and the only Virginian) to oppose this legislation. ' Lets take the Seventh district out of obscurity and into the mainstream. Lets send David Smith to Congress. J. KENT REEVE Washington The uniter is vice-chairman of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee

The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 20 YEARS AGO August 13, 1970 Vice Chairman H. B. Wood presided at the regular meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors held Friday at the Courthouse in Washington, in the absence of Chairman J. Newbill Miller. First on the agenda was a review of the secondary road budget by Resident Engineer James K. Skeens who reported an annual allotment of $317,000 plus. Of this, $175,000 will go toward improvements and the remainder, $142,000 toward maintenance. This is an increase of 5 percent over the previous year, however, this hardly takes care of inflationary costs. 15 YEARS AGO August 14, 1975 Anew communications system for the Washington and Flint Hill fire and rescue units has been established with dispatching headquarters in the sheriffs office in Culpeper. It is important that residents of this area make note of the phone number for this service, which is 112-825-6655. This is a long distance call from either of the Washington or Flint Hill areas; however, to obtain the new dis patching service, this is necessary, for there is no local base station. Rayner V. Snead, Circuit Judge for Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun Counties, has been appointed to the 1975 board of directors of the American Judicature Society. The American Judicature Society is a national and international organization of lawyers, judges and civic leaders founded to promote the administration of justice. 10YEARSAGO August 7, 1980 Caught in the same economic crunch that has forced lay-offs and plant shut downs across the country, Aileen, Inc., Rappahannock’s largest single employer, has gone to a four-day week at their Flint Hill facility and will close the doors to their Strasburg plant at the end of August, leaving 190 workers without jobs.

It’s not that establishment type Democrats are ever going to become overly chummy with a vegetarian, health-food addict, Yankee lawyer who would never dream of eating barbecue from Smithfield, Virginia or anywhere else or puffing a tobacco product grown in Southside and manufactured in Richmond. Yet even Democrats from the party’s conservative wing who recall Goldman’s past allegiance to Henry Howell and other party liberals are grudgingly admitting that he isn’t doing all that bad a job. That’s a big change from the time a few months ago when he was announced as Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s hand-picked choice to lead the party. There was coi. ,em expressed then that with Goldman at the helm, public perception of the Virginia party might veer back to tht liberal image it picked up and kept through most of the 1970’s until Dick Davis and Chuck Robb came to its rescue. Where Goldman fits these days on the philosophical scale isn’t readily apparently. But even if he is still at heart a liberal, he is carrying out his duties as chairman in a solidly pragmatic manner that attempts to keep open lines of communication with all elements. Though he and the party drew heat from some editorial writers for not putting up a challenger to U.S. Senator John Warner, political realists knew once outgoing Gov. Gerald L. Baliles decided not to run the Democrats had no viable challenger left, or at least none willing to entertain such a race. Yet there will be Democratic challengers against all five incumbent Republican members of the House of Representatives, something that hasn’t happened in many years. By contrast, the GOP has no-one running against any of the five incumbent Democratic incumbents, something some regard as a further indication of the party’s lack of leadership at the top in the wake of last year’s third consecutive statewide sweep. Goldman is already going around the state rallying the troops for next year’s redistricting and the Gene: J Assembly elections that will follow. That may win him favor with Democrats in general and the House of Delegates conservative leadership in particular since the GOP is getting within striking • distance of House control. Goldman is telling Democrats that demographic changes in the state are giving Republicans a bigger potential for victory and that complaceny or lack of unity could result in loss of control of one of the two legislative chambers. That kind of straight talk is likely to further the resolve of the Democratic majority in the legislature, backed up by a Democratic gover nor, to stick it to Republicans in redistricting as a means of helping thwart whatever edge the GOP might be picking up by heavy suburban growth. Goldman, who helped craft Wilder’s brilliant strategy to win the lieutenant governorship on a shoestring budget in 1985, is a sharp political analyst who used to be a big help to reporters seeking an explanation of happenings inside the Democratic Party. Now he uses the media to help keep restless liberals and conservatives together under the tent of Wilder’s “New Mainstream.” He has been one of Wilder’s chief cheerleaders, insisting that the governor’s trips to other states are basically non-political and designed to focus attention on the many economic opportunities available here. And if he can get people to believe that, he may be able to sell ocean front lots in Arizona. One old-line Democrat who ex pressed initial amazement when Goldman was chosen to lead the party has softened his stand somewhat. “I certainly think there could have been better choices, but I don’t know of any real big mistakes the guy has made. He handled the Warner situation pretty well since there was no way we were going to beat him. And he’s not cozying up to the far left the way I figured he might.” The consensus is that Goldman was charged by Wilder with keeping things as free from factionalism within the party as possible during the governor’s tenure in office. Such an eventuality would reinforce Wilder’s image as someone who can help unite Democrats. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed are his own. Smith asks S&L investigation David M. Smith, the Democratic candidate for Congress in Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District, called today for the immediate impanelment of an independent, nonpartisan commission to investigate the role of Congress, federal regulators, and thrift executives in the savings and loan scandal. According to the Winchester businessman, the savings and loan scandal “is just one example of why change is so desperately needed in Washington.” Federal regulators seized United Savings Bank Tuesday. United, a Vienna-based thrift, reported a second quarter loss of $9.8 million. Published reports last Wednesday indicate that at least eight more Virginia savings and loans institutions may be in trouble. “The public has a right to know; the Congress has a need to know,” Mr. Smith said. “No one in Washington wants to accept the blame, but they are asking every household in Virginia and America to pay $6,000 for the bailout,” Mr. Smith said.

Making pickles and relishes at home By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent Pickle products truly add spice to meals and snacks. The skillful blending of spices, sugar, and vinegar with fruits and vegetables produce pickles with crisp, firm texture and a pungent, sweet-sour flavor. For many families, making pickles is a summertime ritual. Growing up on a farm in southside Virginia, I can remember helping my mother and both grandmothers make pickles. They made the usual sweet and dill pickles from cucumbers. They also made such good things as peach pickles, watermelon pickles, pickled okra and in the fall, just before frost, my grandmother would pick the remaining green tomatoes and make a delicious green tomato pickle. Although grocery stores today offer a wide variety of commercially made pickles and relishes, many families like to make their own pickle products when garden vegetables and fresh fruits are in season. Pickle products are classified on the basis of ingredients used and the method of preparation. There are four general types: brined pickles, fresh-pack pickles, fruit picldes and relishes. HOME ECONOMICS Brined pickles Brined or fermented pickles are cured for about three weeks. Dilled cucumbers and sauerkraut belong in this group. Curing changes cucumber color from bright green to olive or yellow green. The white interior of the fresh cucumber becomes uniformly translucent. Usually dill, garlic or other herbs are added for flavor. Fresh pack pickles Fresh-pack or quick-process pickles, such as crosscut cucumber slices, whole cucumber dills, and \ sweet gherkins, are brined for several hours or overnight. Then they are combined with boiling-hot vinegar, spices and other seasonings. These are quick and easy to prepare. They have a tart, pungent flavor. Seasonings can be selected to suit family preferences. Fresh-pack whole cucumbers are oilve green, crisp, tender and firm. Other vegetables, such as beets, green beans, okra, squash, zucchini, and hot peppers are canned by this method. Fruit pickles Fruit pickles are usually prepared from whole fruits and simmered in a spicy, sweet-sour syrup.

Peaches, pears and watermelon rind are examples of fruit pickles prepared in this way. Relishes Relishes are prepared from fruits and vegetables which are chopped and then cooked to desired consistency. Clear, bright color and uniformity in size of pieces make an attractive product. Relishes accent the flavor of other foods. They may be quite hot and spicy. Relishes include piccalilli, pepper-onion, chutney, com relish, horse radish, chowchow and chili sauce. Ingredients for successful pickling Pickling is one area of canning where it is essential to have top quality ingredients and to follow the procedures exactly in order to yield good quality results. Correct proportions of fruit or vegetable, sugar, salt and vinegar are essential. Alum and lime are not needed to make pickles crisp and firm if good-quality ingredients and an up-to-date recipe are used. Use tested recipes. Read the complete recipe before starting preparation. Measure or weigh all ingredients carefully. Fruits and vegetables Select tender vegetables and firm fruit, preferably gathered from the garden no more than 24 hours before pickling. If cucumbers cannot be used immediately after harvesting or purchasing from a roadside stand, refrigerate them as they deteriorate rapidly at room temperature. Use un waxed cucumbers for pickling whole because the brine cannot penetrate waxed cucumbers. Be sure to remove all blossoms from cucumbers as they may be a source of the enzymes responsible for softening the cucumbers during fermentation. Salt Use pure granulated or pickling salt if at all possible. Un-iodized salt can be used, but additives in the salt that prevent caking may make the brine cloudy. Iodized table salt should not be used because it may darken the pickles. Salt acts as a preservative and adds flavor and crispness to pickles. Brine draws juices and sugar from foods and forms lactic acid, a preservative. Vinegar Vinegar gives pickles a tart taste and acts as a preservative. Use a high-grade cider or white distilled vinegar of four to six percent acidity. (Sometimes listed as 40-60 percent grain). Vinegar of unknown acidity should not be used. Do not dilute the vinegar unless the recipe so specifies. If a less sour product is desired, add sugar rather than decreasing the vinegar. Sugar Use white granulated sugar unless the recipe calls for another sweetner. Brown sugar will darken the product. Spices and herbs Only fresh spices and herbs should be used. Whole, fresh spices are preferred because the dry powdered forms may cause cloudiness. It is best to tie whole spices in a cheesecloth bag, then remove the bag before canning. If desired, add individual spices from the bag, such as a cinnamon stick, to each jar. Equipment Little specialized equipment^ is needed for pickling, and those who have done other types of canning will already have most of the necessary equipment. However, there are a few differences. Utensils made of zinc, iron, brass, copper, aluminum or galvanized metal should not be used. Neither should enamelware with cracks or chips in the enamel. The metal in these utensils may react with acids or salts and cause an undesirable color and taste. For the fresh-pack method, where vinegar is the pickling ingredient, almost any large container is suitable. Unchipped enamelware, stainless steel or glass is best. For fermenting and brining, a crock, stone jar or an unchipped enamel-lined pan is needed. The container must be fitted with a heavy plate or lid which will fit inside the container to cover the food in brine. A weight is necessary to hold the cover down and to keep the food below the surface of the brine. A glass jar filled with water makes a good weight. Heat processing is recommi for all pickle products to destn ganisms that cause. spoilage a inactivate enzymes that may flavor, color and texture.

Dogwood anthracnose continues spread, some controls discovered By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Dogwood anthracnose in Virginia is ocurring in a wide range of habitats, including forest, landscape and nursery situations. The disease has been found in nursery dogwoods in Prince William and Fauquier counties, and in one of these nurseries, Kousa dogwood, which is reported to be resistant, was affected in addition to Comus florida, the flowering dogwood. Wild dogwoods in the forest have been affected in Warren and Giles counties. (This is in addition to coun ties reported in 1989 by the Forest Service: Nelson, Amherst, Rockbridge, Bath, Augusta, Clarke, Loudoun, Craig, Floyd, and Washington counties.) The Extension Service has also received samples of affected dogwoods from landscapes in Montgomery and Arlington counties, in addition to the Westmoreland County dogwoods reported last year. In order to control the disease in the leaf spot stage, it is important to be able to recognize the symptoms of dogwood anthracnose. Several different leaf spots of dogwood occur and can be confused with one another. Most leaf spots are not serious threats to the health of the tree. The leaf spots caused by Diacula sp. are irregular in shape, vary in size, and have light brown centers with purplish borders. With a hand lens, you may be able to see tiny brown specks in the brown part of the spots. These are fruiting bodies of the pathogen. They may be found on either the upper or lower surface of the spots. Leaf spots may enlarge, coalesce, and blight large portions of the leaf. Blighted leaves may cling to the tree until after normal leaf drop in the fall. Other leaf spots that occur on dogwood are Septoria leaf spot and spot anthracnose. Septoria leaf spot resembles the leaf spots of dogwood" anthracnose, but spots are generally more angular and do not usually cause a general blighting of leaf tissue. Spot anthracnose leaf spots are easy to distinguish from dogwood anthracnose leaf spots because of their uniform small size. Leaf spots caused by the spot anthracnose pa thogen are about the size of a pinhead. Centers are whitish and borders are purple. The centers of the spots often drop out, leaving small holes in the leaves. If a large number of leaf spots occur early in leaf development, leaves may have a puckered appearance. Other symptoms of dogwood anthracnose are dieback of small twigs and/or larger branches, initially in the lower part of the tree. (The original name for the disease was “lower branch dieback”.) Dark brown cankers can be detected under the bark at the base of dead branches when : 1iyj l Msale starts now... Here's An Event You Won't Want To Miss!

A secondary symptom that, often occurs on infected dogwoods is epicormic sprouting or numerous sprouts forming directly on the trunk at the base of the tree. This is generally a sign of stress on dogwoods. Since the dieback phase of the disease usually leads to death of the entire tree, the prognosis for the health of our state flower is bad, indeed. Once the fungus has caused cankers on the larger branches or trunk, control is impossible. Therefore, it is important to prevent the disease altogether or to control the disease in the leaf spot stage. Cultural controls are the first line of defense for this disease. Keeping trees as healthy as possible should help to prevent the disease. Water trees during drought and mulch to prevent water stress, fertilize as needed according to soil analyses, and avoid transplanting wild dogwoods into the landscape. So far, the disease seems to be more severe in the woods, so wild dogwoods or seed taken from the forest has a much higher chance of carrying the fungus with it. Trees planted in sunlight and spaced for good air circulation in the landscape seem to have a much lower incidence of the disease. The leaf spot stage of the disease can be prevented, as for other foliar diseases, by the use of fungicides. Since the fungus usually initiates infections on the leaves and then moves down the petioles into the twigs, the disease can theoretically be controlled by careful use of fungicides during the leaf spot stage. Practically, this is often difficult since foliar fungicides can be washed off by rain, adequate coverage with fungicides can be difficult, and environmental conditions may be conducive to rapid growth of the fungus. Currently, fungicides used for control of other leaf spot diseases of dogwood are recommended. A new fungicide especially effective for dogwood anthracnose is being developed but is not yet available for use. Once dying twigs are observed, they should be pruned out immediately back to live tissue to attempt to limit spread. Pruning tools should be surface sterilized with a dilute (bO percent) solution of household bleach between cuts to avoid spreading the pathogen on equipment. Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service and a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.

Thistle Hill provides home away from home By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Charles and Marianne Wilson have added a special touch to bed and breakfast in Rappahannock County. It’s not that the bed and breakfast stay includes things like a fine five-course meal prepared upon reservation, or the high English tea on the gazebo, or the wide assortment of fine English and American antiques for sale, or the only singlebedded room in the country, or the quaint and private cottage-room or the sense of immediate comfort and hospitality. These things and others similar are found in bed and breakfast establishments all around the county. But, there’s something unique about Thistle Hill. Located just a few miles from Boston Store on U.S. 522, the yellow estate-like home stands bold agaiSst winter’s grey, spring’s green, autumn’s colors and summer’s heat. “The house is only 20-years-old,” Marianne Wilson said, sitting in the comfortable and spacious kitchen amid her collectible thistle pattern china, set appropriately for a Wilson English breakfast, usually several courses coming complete with coffee and tea. “We’ve worked hard to make it look old,” she said with a smile, adding the house is quite deceiving in look and often keeps guests or friends guessing about its age — looking old but with all the amenities of the modern age. “We just made it comfortable and we invite others to come share it with us,” she said, passing fresh biscuits prepared by her husband, coowner and Thistle Hill chef, Charles. A well-traveled couple, the Wilson’s moved from Florida in search of the ideal location for a bed and breakfast site. Looking across the state, the couple just “fell” into the property they now call home. “We had nearly given up finding a place when we drove up U.S. 522 v/from Culpeper and saw the ‘For Sale’ sign in front of this home,” Mrs. Wilson said, adding that as someone who was once a Massachusetts Bostonian, she laughed when passing Boston’s sign, never imagining she would again be a Bostonian — this time in Virginia. “I had traveled through Europe, using B&B establishments often,” Mr. Wilson said. The retired pharmacist and doctor of reconstructive surgery explained that while studying the culinary arts — his life’s hobby and passion — in Italy he was able to travel to many places throughout the European continent. . Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G. Currie WITH A TABLE SET for elegant dining, Charles and Marianne Wilson are ready for guests at their Thistle Hill Bed and Breakfast, on U.S. 522 near Boston. “I always figured that if they (B&B establishments) worked over there, why not over here,” he said with laughter, adding his whole idea was to retire, open a B&B and sit back and enjoy a “nice and comfortable living not doing any work. ” “It certainly has not turned out that way,” he said, laughing. Life is anything but ‘lazy’ around the Wilson home. The three-bedroom — two listed as guest rooms — home is filled with fine English and American antiques collected, cared for and sold by the Wilsons through their B&B, in their shop on their property and now in a shop in Sperry ville. The immaculate home, just recently kept with assistance, is always ready to receive guests — though, unlike European bed and breakfast establishments, American accomodations are usually by reservation. Trying to accomodate any need, the Wilsons’ offer both Old World charm and New World amenities. For those vacationing in Europeanstyle, Thistle Hill includes afternoon tea and full-English breakfast with the price of the room — either for $65 including pencil post style single beds and a private bath or $75 for a queen-sized room with private bath or $115 for private cottage accomodations. The reserved dinner, fivecourses complete with dessert and complimentary wine for $28.50, can include an entree of choice — lamb, beef, chicken, fish, rabbit or pork. For those American-style guests, the stay includes wine and, cheese at 5 p.m. and, upon reservation, a family style meal instead of the five-course reserved dinner. Keeping with the bread and breakfast notion, breakfast comes with the latter version, also. “We usually get the overflow,” Mrs. Wilson said,of their establishment, which only one-year-old, is not as familiar to Northern Virginia tourists and travelers needing B&B services. “We are getting some repeat customers, though,” Mrs. Wilson said, adding that even though they are young their guests have come from as far away as Switzerland, England and Italy, as close as Washington, D.C. But guests from any part of the world will agree Thistle Hill’s comfort is worth a return trip. Televisions are found only in the common room; radios are at each bedside.

Overall, consumers are acting increasingly wary about major purchases, while businesses are adopting defensive strategies and cutting discretionary spending like newspaper advertising, said Roy L. Pearson, director of the bureau. The dollar value of building permits across the Commonwealth plunged 38.9 percent compared to June, 1989. The slide pulled the total change for the first half of 1990 to 16 percent below the level for the same period in 1989, with 11 of 16 urban areas reporting declines. New car registrations dove 16.8 percent in June, with decreases in all the urban areas tracked by the report except Winchester. For the first half of 1990, Virginia’s new car sales were 10.6 percent below the same period last year, r ftappafyannocfe Jietos now has direct lines for CLASSIFIED AND EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING 1-800-852-4797 Arundel Newspapers Advertise locally & surrounding counties! with all areas surveyed reporting lower sales. In addition, the first half results are almost 20 percent below first half levels from two years ago. “Virginians increasingly are avoiding the long-term financial commitment of a new car purchase, content for now with their older but almost paid for automobiles,” said Mr. Pearson. Rising economic apprehension about future income growth, taxes and job opportunities will likely sustain that reluctance to buy in the coming months. Mr. Pearson said he expects continued declines in new car sales, even if interest rates ease slightly. Retail sales were generally better, with a sample of stores showing a 7.8 percent increase per. store. The news is not so good for tourist areas like Williamsburg and Virginia Beach, where hotel occupancy rates fell during June. The news is no better for newspapers, with advertising linage down 42.9 percent in June, probably due to lower home and car sales, coupled with slower income and job growth, said Mr. Pearson. “These pullbacks are a clear signal that many Virginia businesses are adopting defensive strategies, cutting discretionary spending. Those strategies are likely to lead to further future deceleration in payroll job growth, especially in the trade and service sectors, as hiring plans also are scaled back,” he said. terrain bikes for adventure; climb Old Rag Mountain for the view; or relax out of the heat in quiet air-conditioned rooms — a real home away from home. Maybe that’s what makes Thistle Hill unique — it feels just like home. For more information about Thistle Hill, call Charles and Marianne Wilson, (703) 987-9U2. Library sets Oct. 1 as contract date By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Library Board adopted a schedule for construction of the new library. Sept. 20 has been set as the date to open bids with the contract to be awarded Oct. 1. The specifications will call for construction to be completed by June 1, 1991. This will allow one month for the library to move from its present location to the new building. Meanwhile, on Aug. 24, Librarian Diane Green and Robert Darby of the Friends of the Rappahannock Library will go to Richmond to present the county’s case for support from federal funds for the project. They will request $150,000 of the $500,000 cost from the state library board which decides which projects get funding grants from the federal money. Library Board Chairman Dr. William Young said the board expects to find out if the library will receive a grant before the Oct. 1 date for awarding the contract. In the meantime, the Library Board has requested separate bids for installing the septic system and building the road. At its meeting Tuesday the board approved suggested changes to the plans which had been recommended by the building committee and approved having County Administrator John McCarthy work with the architect to clear up questions about how the advertising and bidding process will be handled.

NATIONAL FRUIT PRODUCT COMPANY, INC. 550 Fairmont Avenue Winchester, VA 22601 An Equal Opportunity Employer M/F/V/H Cruise Continued from page 3 other people . . . that he lives in a house on Culpeper Street.” Which house? “The one with the wall.” In the rumors heard so far the very busy Cruise turns up with more houses and cars and lunches than most of us need, but that’s actors for you. The star of “Rain Man” and “Top Gun:” • Bought Menlough, the estate on Springs Road at the edge of Warenton once owned by Chad Everett. • Bought Canterbury, a large estate with a fabulous old house near Fauquier Springs Country Club. • Bought and has moved into a house on Culpeper Street, the one with the wall around it. • Was seen in a red car. • Was seen in a black Porsche in the parking lot of Fauquier National Bank. • Was seen in a Black porsche with a license plate that reads 1CRUISE. • Was seen in a black Porsche with a license plate that reads CRUISE1. • Bought groceries at Giant Food Store. • Appeared in Giant Food Store, was mobbed, and the store’s management had to call police to pull the crowd of women off of him. If there’s smoke where there’s fire, Tom Cruise, his brothers, his great grandsons, and his ancestors sack to the Middle Ages have set down roots here. “If Tom Cruise passed through the portals of this store I would know it,” said Giant Food Store manager Charlie Burtt. “I can guarantee you he has not.” • Entered Napoleon’s Cafe, with a police officer as protective escort. • Lunched at Napoleon’s with a real estate agent — and no one recognized him. A Napoleon’s hostess, with a hungry gleam in her eye: “Oh, I think I would recognize him. I don’t believe he’s been in here.” Another definite, absolute ironclad straight from the agent’s mouth report: he’s bought Canterbury. Can’t give the agency or the agent — that’s top secret. (Fewer than 8,000 people have heard this same news). Somehow, the reporter guesses the agency (but not the agent). Shock. “You didn’t get it from me!” The guessed agency, the reporter already knows, is not handling Canterbury. But the calls must go on, it’s the job. Sue Coe, one of the nation’s most successful real estate agents, number two producer for all of the Mount Vernon Realty offices: “You can put in that story that he is working with me.” The telephone vibrates with Ms. Coe’s laughter. Then, the quiet truth: Did you sell Canterbury to Cruise? “No.” No, tor surer “Absolutely not. Nobody in this office has sold a property to Tom Cruise. You would not believe how many calls I’ve gotten on this. It is absolutely not true.” Women are reacting to the rumors. Some have been seen fanning themselves rapidly and suddenly, have been heard making rash lifewatershed changes in a moment. Like the woman who said with quick intensity: “I think I’ve lost interest in my career it’s taken me 20 years to establish so I’m gong to turn in my resignation and work at the drugstore behind the lunch counter and he’ll come in, sooner in later everyone does, he’s bound to, and when he says chicken salad sandwich please I’ll be there and I’ll serve it to him.” When Fauquier Times-Democrat editor Dick Johnson called over the intercom, “Tom Cruise, come to the newsroom please,” women from all over the building came at a panting gallop. Who is this Cruise guy, anyway? On hearing some rumors quashed one woman said, “I’m sure I saw him. Wearing a suit, he had a big bodyguard. Anyway, it looked just like him. I’m heartbroken.” Not all women are so moved. “If it’s Mel Gibson, I’ll be interested,” has been one common response. But keep you hopes up, you fans. “I saw Tom Cruise at 7-Eleven yesterday,” Charles Ebbets murmurred in a low, conspiratorial tone over the clink of breakfast dishes at Caprice Cafe one morning. “He was with Elvis.” Apply early for Social Security People who plan to apply for Social Security retirement benefits or Medicare should start the application process about two months ahead of time, according to Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper. Applying for benefits can be handled by telephone, Mr. Hundley said. Social Security’s toll-free phone number is 1-800-2345-SSA (1800-234-5772). The telephone representatives are available 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. all business days. Rappahannock News file photo THE EVER-POPULAR “Puppets by Pizzazz” return for an encore performance at the library on Aug. 15. Puppets by Pizzazz closes series The closing event of the Rappahannock County Library’s Summer Reading Program, “Explore Your Library. . .For The Fun Of It!”, will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 15, at the library. Puppets by Pizzazz, which has been very well received during its past appearances at the library, will once again be the star attraction of the evening. Certificates will be presented to the reading program participants. The drawings for the grand prizes will also be held during this special program. The library and its staff would like to thank Virginia Scott, a professional folk song dramatist; Nina Stamer; Cindy Andreoni; Jean Falk Wright and Laurie Marshall for doing such a fantastic job leading the programs each week. They contributed greatly to the success of this year’s programs. All programs are free and open to the public. Surcharge Continued from page 1 they are upset. They don’t give the best directions. You may have a child on the phone. It’s not something we have to have, but as more people move in they expect the level of service up to the level where they came from.” Col. Dieter Kneupfer, the county’s emergency services coordinator, also supported the system. “The charge is minimal, and will give a great deal more safety,” he said. “If we wait to get it later, it might be more expensive.” William Senkewitz was the only person from the public to speak in opposition to the surcharge. He said that he was already paying a lot of tax on his phone bill. “It will be a burden to a lot of people,” he said. He said that his farm had a locked gate at the entrance and that any squad answering a call to his house would have to break through the gate and his door. “Money is free around here now,” he said. “To some people it’s a lot.” Sheriff John Henry Woodward said that the system w'ould help the dispatchers in his office but “the main benefit is to the public.” He said that many people in the county are already dialing 9-1-1, and surrounding counties have basic 9-1-1. “If they’re in the C&P service area it goes to Culpeper. If they’re in the upper end of the county it goes to Front Royal. All of that is wasting time.” Sheriff Woodward said that he now is paying $134 per month for a number with the “987” exchange for rescue calls. “Those lines can go out when 9-1-1 comes in,” he said. “We don’t have that many crank calls, but if we did we would know where the call came from. We could weed out crank calls. There’s no way I can hire people who know everybody in this county. If you can get to a phone and dial 9-1-1, we will have directions to the house. It does have its advantages.” Mr. Hatter pointed out that the information about Mr. Senkewitz’s gate could be included in the data base, so the company responding to the call would know to take bolt cutters or other equipment to get through the gate. With no more comments from the public, Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey asked for comments from the board. Mr. McCarthy said he is concerned that the county not make a commitment to install the system in two years. The surcharge will raise about $73,000 per year, and the total cost of the system is estimated at $300,000, he said. With threatened cutbacks in state funds from Richmond, there could be problems, he said. It would take another three years to pay for the system. “It could create cash flow problems,” he said. “We have to be flexible about when installation takes place.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “When I first heard about it, I felt it was a wonderful idea. If I were a member of a fire or rescue organization, I would be 100 percent behind it, but our job as supervisors is to see that people are taxed fairly ... It is a tax, and a poor person pays the same tax as a rich person. It’s not based on how much property you have. To me it’s a regressive tax. Taxes should be based on people’s ability to pay. It reminds me of the old poll tax. ” Mr. Massie said that if the supervisors were considering whether to raise the money out of general tax revenues to pay for E-9-1-1, “we would say it’s something we can’t afford now. Even if it’s not on the county tax bill, it’s a tax. It’s a wonderful thing, but I don’t think we can afford it.” Mr. Gilkey replied, “I don’t look at it as a tax. It’s a surcharge. It’s money you can see where it’s going. We have tried as a board to accumulate the money we need to operate the county. It has been a hardship to some people, but not at $24.” “Other taxes are not going to go down,” Mr. Massie said. “Eventually if you pile enough bricks on the camel’s back, it breaks down. We’re close to this.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said, “I cannot conceive of somebody not wanting this if it could save their life. It’s one of the best insurance policies they could have. It’s a very minimal fee and a painless way to pay for the system. “I have not had any negative calls from Jackson District,” Col Bingham continued. “Children can punch 9-1-1. They don’t know how to tell anyone how to get to their house.” “We don’t need to go out and look for new ways to spend money,” Mr. Massie said. “The taxpayers are already putting out $100,000 for the fire and rescue squads.” Frank Stringfellow asked if he could comment even though the public hearing was over. Mr. Gilkey said he could. “I’ve been in the fire company for 45 years,” Mr. Stringfellow said. “A lot of times we get calls and we don’t know where they’re coming from. Mr. Massie is home in bed at 2 o’clock in the morning. He’s not out looking for these places. I am. If he can’t afford his phone bill, I’ll pay it.” The motion to approve the surchange passed four to one with Mr. Massie voting against it. The supervisors also approved a $2 tax to be added to fines collected by the court system for criminal or traffic violations. The money raised by this tax will be earmarked for renovations, improvements and operating expenses of the courthouse and jail. Mr. Massie made the motion to approve this tax. “If you keep your nose clean, you won’t have to pay it,” he said. The supervisors also approved a resolution to be sent to the Governor L. Douglas Wilder, Rappahannock’s representatives in the General Assembly and the committees that will consider ways to cut the state budget because of reduced revenue. The resolution points out that the county has already adopted a tax rate and can’t change it now. “Therefore any reduction in State aid will result in direct reduction in services to citizens, primarily in the fields of education and social services,” the resolution says. The supervisors also heard a report on several county projects. Not much has happened in the last month on the jail addition, Mr. McCarthy pointed out, because it took several weeks for the town’s Architectural Review Board to approve brick and mortar to be used to face the building. Both have been delivered, and the brickwork can start as soon as weather permits, Mr. McCarthy said. Progress on the dog pound also halted for three weeks, Mr. McCarthy said, so the construction crew could work on renovations to his new office, which will be in the former Extension office. He said the crew will be back at the pound this week, and the main holdup there was that the material to fence the runs hadn’t been shipped yet.

It will run from July 31 through Aug. 3.

Harvest Continued from page 1 “The peach crop is almost nonexistent,” Flint Hill orchard keeper Louis Moore Jr. said, explaining the last few late frosts in the early spring nipped the tender blooms, then three weeks ahead of their normal growing season due to warm weather in Feburary and early March. “Anything above the frost line,” he said was undamaged, adding or: chards on higher ground may produce better crops than those on lower grounds. “I don’t want to paint a bad picture but it’s not good,” he said of the expected crop production. “The peaches this year are not as pretty,” Bryant Lee, operator of one of Rappahannock County’s largest orchards, said, explaining the cold weather creates smaller fruit and the hail which struck the area several times in the early spring pelted the young fruit, marring its appearance. “It’s like the fruit has measles,” he said adding the rough skin does not affect the taste, just the appeal and the selling price of the fruit. Besides being faced with small marked furit, Mr. Lee said orchardists like himself are dealing with fruit rotting on the trees, due to damage from the weather. “It’s difficult to pick this year,” he said of his crops of peaches and apples, adding pickers are busy trying to salvage the nicest and largest fruit instead of picking each one. The harvest of early apples is in “full swing,” he added, saying the harvest is nearly two weeks ahead of schedule and with a lesser crop total the harvest should tally up two weeks ahead of schedule. “It’s sorta’ funny,” Mr. Moore said, explaining that several times orchard keepers had a scare due to frost warnings but “we were in great shape until the last frost” which occured in early April. Trees on higher ground were struck too, and now orchard keepers are looking at a reduction of total fruit crop by 20 to 30 percent.

With lesser volume, the bushels will go quickly. While fruit by the bushel will increase in price, orchard keepers don’t anticipate an increase in processed fruit products, overall. Due to the number of damaged apples and peaches, processing plants are still productive, though Mr. Lee reports processing plants are looking for produce. “Last year we shipped out 14 loads,” he said of Rambo apples heading for the processing plant. “This year we’ll be lucky if we get two” loads, he added. While peach production is far less than average, apple production is also “expected to total a disappointing 210 million bushels,” Mr. Graham reported. Sewer plant needs back-up operator By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Since the Sperryville Sewer Plant opened in 1985, it has had only one operator, Tim Falls. He must run certain tests at the plant every day, seven days a week. Now Mr. Falls is having back problems which may require surgery, and he asked Water and Sewer Authority members how much vacation and sick leave time he is be entitled to after nearly five years. The answer to the question was a lot easier than the answer to the Crash Continued from page 1 Hospital by the Amissville and Warrenton Rescue Squads, where they were pronounced dead. Two other children riding in the car, Ms. Goldston’s two-year-old son Dominique, and Natasha Carroll, 6, were in the rear seat and restrained. They were both treated and released at Fauquier Hospital, according to a hospital spokeswoman. Ms. Caldwell said the other three occupants of the car did not appear to have been wearing seat belts. Ms. Goldston was flown from the scene to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville by the Pegasus medical evacuation helicopter. On Tuesday afternoon, hospital spokeswoman Kathryn Johnson said she is in fair condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit. Ms. Caldwell said that Trooper Weaver’s investigation is complete and that charges may be filed against Ms. Goldston as early as Thursday. Fire and rescue personnel from the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department, Warrenton Volunteer Fire Department and Warrenton Volunteer Rescue Squad responded to the accident. Several members of other Rappahannock County fire de partments also assisted at the scene. A Critical Incident Stress Debriefing for the firefighters and rescue squad personnel who worked at the accident scene was held Monday evening at the Amissville United Methodist Church. According to RappahannockRapidan Emergency Medical Services Council Director Leilani Stanley, the CISD debriefing is used after difficult accidents and fires, particularly those involving fatalities. The CISD team includes a psy chologist and specially trained “peer debriefers,” who are also firefighters or rescue squad personnel. The debriefing is a way of encouraging the personnel involved in the incident to talk about their feelings, rather than keeping them inside where they may cause problems later on, Ms. Stanley explained. About nine members of the rescue squads and fire departments involved took part in the debriefing, she said. “It went very well,” she said.

The WSA members agreed that Mr. Falls is entitled to the same benefits as any other full-time county employee, a total of up to two weeks of vacation time, and up to 21 days of sick leave. However, that still leaves the problem of who will operate the plant if Mr. Falls is unable to do so for a period of time. The plant operator must be licensed. Training is required for the license. “He is the only man in Rappahannock County who can run the plant,” Charles K. “Pete” Estes said. Mr. Estes and fellow WSA member Carson Johnson have been going to the plant regularly to learn from Mr. Falls what needs to be done, but neither wants to take over the operation of the plant. They agreed that they need to develop a detailed list of procedures, the steps required for each test, and the actions to be taken depending on the results of the tests. They also agreed that what is needed is a someone else to become licensed to operate the plant. The problem, they agreed, is that anyone who took the training and studied for the license could easily get work outside the county, and there still would be no back-up for Mr. Falls. That dilemma was left unresolved at the WSA’s Aug. 2 meeting. The members also agreed to do some research on whether certain commercial establishments are being billed for the correct number of equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) and to be ready to vote on those at the September meeting. A study of commercial EDUs has been postponed month after month since spring.

The plant was designed for a capacity of 55,000 gallons per day. That was supposed to serve 296 EDUs. With 273.5 EDUs assigned, about 20,000 gallons per day are going through the plant, Mr. Estes said. Member James Swindler, who was not at the meeting, sent a letter he had received from James W. Fletcher III asking if four EDUs could be held in reserve for a multifamily dwelling he is planning to construct in Sperryville, or if the WSA could at least give him warning when the plant is nearly “maxed out.” Mr. Johnson said there is a precedent for holding EDUs in reserve for up to six months, but no longer. Mr. Estes suggested that if all the plant’s patrons were using the plant fully there would be 25,000 to 30,000 gallons processed per day. Mr. Johnson said he feels the potential now is closer to 45,000 gallons per day.
