Queuing for the tour Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter NEARLY 1,000 PEOPLE came to Washington Tuesday for a tour of The Inn at Little Washington, sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish. The line stretched around the comer onto Gay Street for most of the afternoon. Proceeds from the tour will go toward church projects. J Council orders square cleared By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington’s Town Council voted last week to request “aggressive enforcement” of ordinances regulating loitering in the wake of continued complaints about the group of young people who gather around the town square at Main and Middle Streets. “Since we have tried to come to some resolution things have not gotten better,” Mayor Dean Morehouse told the council. “It has gotten worse.” Speaking to about a half-dozen of the young people in attendance at the meeting, the mayor added, “Guests, visitors and residents have rights as well as you.” Mr. Morehouse said his request for action was precipitated by continued complaints from town residents, as well as several confrontations in recent weeks between property-owners and members of the group. “I’m worried that someone is going to get hurt.” “This has gone way beyond appearances... We are not fooling around — we are not going to stand for it. ” — Dean Morehouse Mayor of Washington Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said the group has protested repeatedly that they do not intend any harm to anyone by their presence. But, he said, “it has been pointed out that it is the perception that bothers people — not what is being planned.” “This has gone way beyond appearances,” the mayor replied. “We are talking about intimidation of individuals, blocking passage of pedestrians and vehicles. “If those people intend to continue,” Mr. Morehouse added, “go ahead. We are going to have to Sher iffs Department and State Police there to arrest you. We are not fooling around — we are not going to stand for it.” Dr. Werner Krebser, who owns the Post Office building, told the council that he has been reluctant to obtain warrants against members of the group, “but my patience is wearing thin. The businesses and apartment dwellers are suffering.” Council member Newbill Miller, who opposed the tough stand against the group, told the young people, See COUNCIL, p. 12 Schools still lack figures on aid cuts By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Money was the chief topic at last week’s School Board meeting. School Superintendent David Gangel said he still has only “firmed up rumors” to go on in estimating how much state funds would be cut because of the Commmonwealth’s budget woes. “We may not get specific information until as late as February,” he said. In the meantime the board approved his recommendation to leave one teachers’ aide position unfilled and shift some expenses from the general operating budget to the portion of the budget covered by Federal funds for Chapter One programs. This would save approximately $18,000, he said. Aides at the elementary and high school have been picking up the responsibilities of the aide whose position was not filled, Dr. Gangel said. “We hate to keep calling on certain people to do more,” Chairman Beverly Massie said, but she praised the “positive attitude” of the aides who had to take on extra duties. Dr. Gangel said he wouldn’t recommend that the position be filled even if the money were available because, with even deeper cuts in the state contribution expected next year, “we may have to let people go.” Roofs and the underground fiiel oil storage tank at; the elementary school were other potential “budget busters” that were discussed at last Tuesday’s meeting. See CUTS, p. 16 Lynch enters guilty plea By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Reinhardt Lynch pleaded guilty Tuesday in Rappahannock County General District Court to a misdemeanor charge of voting fraud. Mr. Lynch, 42, the co-owner of The Inn at Little Washington, was sentenced by Judge Charles B. Foley to 60 days in jail, suspended, a $1,000 fine plus court costs, and ordered to perform 80 hours of community service. He was also placed on unsupervised probation for one year. The guilty plea was accepted by Judge Foley after Commonwealth’s! Attorney Peter Luke recommended sentencing under terms of a plea agreement reached with Mr. Lynch and his attorney, Gerard Treanor. Mr. Lynch was charged with “counseling or advising” another person to vote in the town election in Washington with knowledge that person was not qualified to vote, according to his arrest warrant. The charge was made, along with three other charges of illegal voting filed against three other men by Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department Capt. Ed Streapy following an investigation of a complaint of illegal voting. Charged along with Mr. Lynch were Alan Rene Margreithor, 20, David William Howard, 35, and Eric Matthew Schwier, 33. The three were charged with voting in an election district in which they did not reside. All were employed at The Inn at Little Washington at the time. See GUILTY, p. 16 Smith insists energy. S&L crisis are real issues Both 7th District candidates tardy in paying property taxes By LOU HATTER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Personal property taxes and who was most tardy in paying them occupied the the thoughts last week of the two contestants for the Seventh District seat in the U.S. House. But Democratic challenger David M. Smith said in an interview with Arundel Newspapers editors on Friday that he would just as soon stick to real issues such as the environment and alternate sources of energy, the savings and loan crisis and electoral reform. He also explained why he was late in paying second-half 1988 property taxes. He said he “messed up” in failing to fully pay real estate taxes on time on property he owns in Winchester. Smith’s opponent, incumbent U.S. Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr., released the tax records on Sept. 10. They showed that Smith owed a total of $621 in back taxes for 1988, which he paid earlier this summer. During the interview with the editors, Smith said he does not feel that the tax issue will last. “There are some things in my life that aren’t perfect. I would hope that after this we can keep the campaign on the issues.” Though the Slaughter campaign has alleged that Smith paid the back taxes “only when he decided to run for Congress,” the challenger pointed out that he announced his campaign more than a year ago, though the tax problem was not discovered until this year. He said part of the problem was that two semiannual payments were credited to the wrong year, a mistake that he said the tax office in Winchester admitted was its fault. The rest of the taxes were paid, he said, when he received a bill notifying him of the delinquencies. ' * See SMITH, p. 12 Carnival highlights harvest festival By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer As the cool autumn winds sweep down from the mountains, Sperryville Business Council members plan the sixth annual Sperryville Apple Harvest Festival. Lining the streets with crafts, food, activities, artistic talents and a variety of antiques, Sperryville’s harvest celebration is planned for Oct. 6 and 7, rain or shine. From the entrance of the village, at That Sperryville Emporium, to the village’s edges at Country Manor and the Sperryville Antique Market, snuggled beside the mountain’s base, visitors and local residents can greet the days of autumn, strolling down the historic streets and enjoying festive attractions along the way. Highlighting the afternoon both Saturday and Sunday is the Sperryville Volunteer Firemens’ Cam vial with weekend matinees. Sponsoring a fall carnival for the first time, the department begins its celebration early on Thursday night when the rides light up and fill the night with the joyous sounds of laughter. Two bands will perform Thursday evening on the carnival grounds beside the fire hall on U.S. 211 just west of town. Friday night the entertainment begins again as rides, games and camvial fun and food fill the night air with sounds and smells. Saturday and Sunday afternoons West Virginia Amusements, which is providing the carnival rides, plans a matinee with the children in mind. One ticket will buy all the rides the kids can take for one low price, providing afternoon fun for hours. On Saturday evening the grand prize of $500 will be given away after the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department’s Honorary Fire Chief is crowned at 11 p.m. Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. the Rappahannock County High School Band will perform on the carnival grounds. Streets will remain closed to motor traffic between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. both days; parking is available in designated spots, though parking along roadways is not recomended. Motorists can find plenty of free parking at the Emporium, located just off U.S. 211 and at the Old Way Craft Village, also on U.S. 211 west of town, and at the Sperryville Antique Market. Start the day early with apple picking in Gid Brown Hollow. Rocklands Orchards, on Rt. 614 just off Rt. 622, offers pick-your-own apples from 9 a.m. to dusk each day. After gathering a bushel or two of apples, head into town.

Even though Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield recorded 4.77 inches of rainfall for the month of August, he admitted it was not a great deal more than average. “August is our wet month,” he said, looking through pages of recorded temperatures and rainfall measurements. “It was a little bit wetter but in the ballpark. It was not an extreme of one way or the other.” While mid-August days darkened and rain fell for one week, the total August measurement was not that much more than last year’s 3.54 inches and less than 1988’s 4.89 inches of rainfall. The drought of 1987 is the one remembered. Rappahannock County was only dampened with 1.52 inches of rainfall for the entire month of August. While rainfall fell in some parts of the state early in the month, bringing other rainfall averages higher, local farmer Manfred Call sees things as dry at his Muskrat Haven Farm on U.S. 211 west of Amissville. “It’s been a strange year,” he said, referring to the growing season in Rappahannock and his own pick-your-own vegetable and fruit stands and fields. Mr. Call also grows and sells hay and other crops. He said hay, sweet and field com, beans and blueberries did well at his farm this year but things like strawberries, which fell victim to brown rot, tomatoes and some melons have suffered. “It’s been a pretty trying year,” he said of his occupation and its antagonist, the weather. “We’ve experienced as many difficulties as you can imagine,” adding that farmers all around have been plagued with excess water, an increase in insect problems and the lack of weather which permits treatment against pests, fungus and cool weather prohibiting germination or growth. “It’s been just about anything you can name,” he said with a rather disgusted laugh, adding now things are drying. “My pond is down two inches and that tells me it’s dry.” “We could use some rain around here,” he said, adding the wetness of the summer damaged some crops, probably aiding the fungus which destroyed melons, pumpkins and tomatoes. “Tomatoes were cracked and split,” he said of the fruit, adding many were undesirable, especially for retail sale. And while some pumpkins were damaged by fungus and the crop remains slow to bear, causing some to be smaller than normal, Mr. Call said the farm will have “jack-o-lantems in time for Halloween.” Though summer was wet around the county, the hot late days of August and the early days of September have dried the soil deep. Through the first half of the month, “we were recording temperatures about nine degrees above normal,” Mr. Wingfield said of daytime temperatures around the county. After the weekend’s burst of cooler air, temperatures have dropped and on the “average daytime temperatures are just about normal’ he said, adding nighttime temperatures are 3 1/2 degrees cooler than last year. Mr. Wingfield recorded a low of 42 degrees on Monday morning and a high of only 60 degrees during the day, whereas last week daytime temperatures were hovering in the high 80s, with nightime temperatures dropping only into the 70s. Mr. Wingfield said the sudden weather change is not that unusual, and pointed out that last year between Sept. 24 and 30, temperatures took a dive from their high and three of the month’s last mornings dawned with temperatures only in the high 30’s. For the first 10 days of September Mr. Wingfield recorded only .55 inches of rainfall in this area. “In 1987, we recorded over five inches of rain the day before, Labor Day and the day after," he said, thumbing through his ledgers, showing rainfall for the 1987 Labor Day weekend measuring 5.48 inches. That year, the month of September measured more than 10 inches of rainfall. Measuring last week’s rainy Thursday and the rainfall that fell over the weekend, Mr. Wingfield said water levels are looking much better around the county. “We’ve now recorded 2.96 inches of rainfall this month,” he said, adding last Thursday’s rainfall accounted for most of the precipitation, with 2.10 inches falling in one day. “I measured .95 inches of rain before I put the coffee pot on,” he laughed.

Gangel has been selected as one of the Virginia fellows in the Education Policy Fellowship Program. As one of 19 selected from among 51 applicants, Dr. Gangel will be participating in workshops and seminars on problems confronting education and leadership styles that are likely to be most successful in meeting these challenges. He will be working with other leaders from the fields of education, government and business. All the fellows have full-time positions and receive support from their employers to enable them to participate in the program. These meetings will be held in Richmond, one of 15 sites selected around the nation. The Education Policy Fellowship Program is sponsored by the Institute for Educational Leadership, a non-profit organization incorporated in Washington, D. C.

We need to step back from our political monopoly and learn to do it right the first time. “We also need to pay attention to our market share,” he told the board. “There will always be parents who choose to send their children to another school for religious or similar reasons, but they shouldn’t choose to go somewhere else on the basis of academics.” Schools again seek 'Apples for Students' First drive nets computers, software Rappahannock’s public schools and Wakefield School are again participating in the “Apples for Students” programs sponsored by Apple Computer and Giant and Safeway food stores. Liz Blubaugh from the elementary school said that the school was looking forward to another successful year. Last year the elementary school was able to purchase an Apple II computer and printer using receipts from Giant Food stores. The computer is being used in the school’s Star Science program for sixth and seventh graders. Wakefield School, which participated in both the Giant Food and the Safeway Stores program was able to purchase three personal computers for student use and looks forward to another successful year. At the high school, which also participated with both chains, the emphasis was on purchasing software. The school was able to purchase three “Carmen Sandiego” social studies programs, a program to teach typing, one to improve vocabulary and programs to make certificates and banners. Patrons of any of the schools can help out the schools’ drives by bringing receipts to the school offices or by sending them to school with students. - Sharon Kilpatrick Gifted and talented panel meets Sept. 26 The Gifted and Talented Advisory Committee for the Rappahannock County Public Schools will meet in the elementary school art room (.39), on Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 3:30 p.m. Members of the community may express their views by contacting the members directly or by calling Mrs. Piper at the School Board Office, 987-8773.

Day REALTOR THE BI-WEEKLY MORTGAGE The bi weekly mortgage is the latesi wrinkle in the home lend ing field, it is said that timing is everything. Basically, that's whai makes this mortgage different Instead of making payments once a month, borrowers make half a payment every two weeks. The result is savings of thousands of dollars in interest over the life of the loan.. Why? Look at a calendar. There are more than 12 four week periods in a year. Actually, there are 13. So you end up mak ing the equivalent of 13 monthly payments every year That one extra payment makes a big difference. For example, take a 30year. $130,000 mortgage with an interest rate of 10.5 percent. A borrower making half-payments bi-weekly would save $113,752 and knock 9.5 years off the loan. If you have your checking or savings account at a bank which offers this type of loan, you can have the payments deducted automatically, and you can choose the day of the week for the deduction to coincide with pay days.

(Doug) Bywaters of Flint Hill has been named maintenance manager in the Warrenton residency of the Virginia Department of Transportation. Before his residency appointment, Mr. Bywaters served for 19 years as maintenance superintendent of the Rappahannock area headquarters in Washington. He joined the department in 1961 as an equipment operator, serving from 1964 to 1970 as a VDOT construction inspector. “Mr. Bywaters’ appointment is an invaluable asset to the Warrenton residency staff,” said Bob Moore, resident engineer. “I and other members of my staff have worked with him in his former post as maintenance superintendent in Rappahannock County and are well aware of his diligence and dedication to the department’s efforts. He will certainly complement us in his post as maintenance manager.” As maintenance manager, Mr. Bywaters is responsible for the overall maintenance of all interstate, primary and secondary roads in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties through area headquarters located at Warrenton, Bealeton and Marshall in Fauquier County and Washington in Rappahannock County. Mr. Bywaters succeeded John E. Utz, who retired on April 30 after 27 years of service with VDOT. Mr. Bywaters is a native of Rappahannock County, having lived in Amissville and later moving to his present home in Flint Hill. He carried with him his dedication to community service, first as a junior member of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department and now as a firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician with the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department, of which he is a former fire chief and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) captain. The Rappahannock County High School graduate and his wife, Mary have two sons, W.D. Jr. and Wade David, and a daughter, Cynthia, and three grandchildren, who, he admits, he spoils. In his years with VDOT, Mr. Bywaters has had his share of memorable events, including the flash flood in 1978 in the Sperryville area that claimed lives, washed out bridges and approaches apd sent the Thornton River waters' rushing over U.S. 211. “We worked around the clock to get as many of the damaged roads as possible open, but it required weeks to complete the work,” Mr. Bywaters remembers.

Audit Bureau THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,1990 EMS Week This week, Sept. 16-22, is Emergency Medical Services Week in Virginia. We join Gov. L. Douglas Wilder in saluting the dedicated men and women — both paid and volunteer — who provide emergency medical services across the Commonwealth. Though they are most often noticed at the scene of a tragedy — fires, auto accidents and acts of violence — EMS providers do much more. They are there when called for illnesses and injuries that range from minor to lifethreatening. Often, they also serve as instructors for communitybased education courses like Red Cross cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). They share their knowledge with others, knowing that teaching those life-saving skills could save a neighbor or family member in the future. In Rappahannock County, our rescue squads — like our fire departments — are staffed by volunteers. No one is paid for the time they sacrifice in training, in running calls, and in raising money. The county government pays the cost of insurance for the departments through the Rappahannock County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association, but aside from that appropriation the squads rely on their communities for donations to keep their equipment on the road. Any contributions — large or small —are appreciated. The departments are also always eager to talk to members of the community interested in becoming involved in their work. Though much of the effort is devoted to responding to emergencies, there are also many important administrative and fundraising tasks that require attention. Finding people willing to assist with those efforts is as important as finding people willing to ride on the ambulances. We urge our neighbors to talk to their local rescue squad and fire department about getting involved. If you’d rather not run emergency calls, the volunteers will still appreciate the help offered in other areas. The contribution they make to our community is invaluable — and they will gladly accept offers of assistance from others willing to make a similar contribution. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage THE CRISP AIR of an early autumn afternoon produces spectacular cloud patterns outside Washington. Letters to the editor Ponds all wet To the editor: In last week’s Rappahannock News, you published letters from two people who identified themselves as Ponds: Jesse Pond and Edith Pond. In the first letter, Mr. Pond said that his resolve to vote again for the incumbent Congressman from our Seventh District was “stiffened,” for the express reason that his opponent, David Smith, is endorsed by “an organization of extreme liberals.” The organization, though characterized, was otherwise unidentified. Mr. Pond gave no other reason for the stiffening of his resolve. I think, on balance, that Mr. Pond is all wet. There are many domestic issues facing the country that need resolution: the budget deficit, the S & L crisis, an increasingly polluted environment, the poverty and neglect affecting our major cities that have given rise to a national drug problem, and an educational system that is unable to produce the well trained, well disciplined workforce that America needs if it is to be competitive once more, to mention only a few. The incumbent Congressman has treated these and other matters during his three terms with benign neglect. To address such issues effectively, we need at least a more active representative in Congress. French Slaughter, the incumbent, has spoken on the House floor for only 99 minutes in six years. On this record, r 0.K. MISTER/ THAT'S \Vj I submit that he might better be considered our recumbent Congressman. His challenger, David Smith, proposes to address the issues forcefully, and to represent the Seventh District in a manner more consistent with the great traditions of Virginia. In the second letter, Edith Pond suggests that governmental intervention is the cause of “almost all of the trouble this country is having today.” The suggestion simply flies in the face of the facts. The budget deficit was caused principally by a massive arms buildup, coupled with a substantial reduction in corporate and upper-in come taxes. If the Federal Government had intervened by taxing us to pay for the arms buildup, the deficit would be less of a problem now. The S & L crisis was the result of deregulation, not intervention. Likewise, our other major domestic problems — the polluted en- ' vironment, our failing educational system, and substance abuse with its attendant crime, are all the products of governmental nonintervention for the past decade. We have simply been poorly led. Finally, with respect to “the arts,” Mrs. Pond believes that governmental support endangers the integrity of artists. Well! Think of the history of Western art! The art of Egypt, Rome, the Italian city states during the Renaissance, the glory that was Greece, and the art and music produced for the Church throughout the Christian era; all, or nearly all, of this art, that is the essence of Western Civilization, was commissioned, subsidized and otherwise encouraged without visible loss of artistic integrity. Why are we different? Is it simply that one doesn’t like to pay taxes? Read my lips, Mrs. Pond. LEE BIRD Washington A vote for stability To the editor: As an independent voter, I usually support Republican candidates, because the basic philosophy of the Democratic Party is to look to government for solutions to social and personal problems. Republican philosophy, on the other hand, is that the least government is best, and therefore, at its worst, is still the lesser of two evils, being dedicated in principle, at least, to less government. But, why not more government, bigger government? Well, for one thing, more and bigger government has given us our disastrous national debt. Thanks a lot, fellas! My grandkids will thank you, too. And, what did we get for our money? Has poverty been eliminated? Has education (a government service) improved? The government spends, wastes, steals, buys votes with, and gives away money by the bushel, long before it comes in. That’s why you’re paying — in effect — fifteen percent of your income to Social Security! That’s why your New-Deal Democrat grandparents can jetset around the country, playing golf and buying condominiums, while you and your poor wife bust your butts to stay afloat; and that’s why your kids will be lucky to ever own a house or improve their material standard of living. Do you really want more of that kind of help? Well, you may argue, the government, Democrats and Republicans, always spend like mom at the mall, and they always will. So what could be wrong with voting federal dollars to support worthy causes like the National Endowment for the Arts? Jobs are created, wealth is distributed, needs are met, right? Well, not really. The problem is that so-called “federal” dollars are actually tax dollars. The slogan “no new taxes,” should be, “no new spending,” because governments must tax or borrow to raise every penny they spend. Any spending, therefore, must translate into higher taxes down the road. When the goverment “creates” a job for one person, it is at the expense of his neighbors or his pro geny, probably both. What sense does that make? The government performs its annual shell game and designates “offbudget” items, but there is no free lunch. At the end of the month, the credit card bills arrive. The federal government can stretch a month into 50 years, but the mailman is on the way, and we and our children and grandchildren are going to have to pay those bills. A lot has been written recently about the NEA. In my opinion art subsidy is not the proper concern of government, and most assuredly not a debt-ridden government. OK, so the government pays farmers to grow crops; the government buys cheese by the tons to “help” dairy farmers; the government does a lot of things it shouldn’t do, even if it had a cash surplus. But two (or many) wrongs do not make a right. If people want cheese, for God’s sake, they’ll buy cheese! If farmers can’t sell a crop, they’ll plant something else. So, if you’re writing books or painting pictures or playing the zither or making wrought iron doodads, and you run into a long stretch of red ink, maybe you’d better consider doing something else. What works for cheese works for art. A free market may not be perfect, but at least it represents transactions in which both parties are in contractual and voluntary agreement. If you want to support local art, by all means get out your check book and do so. But let it be your choice and your decision. And if you’re an artist and you’re not yet making enough money, keep your day job. And your self respect. Don’t place’the burden on those who maybe can’t afford it, and those whose aesthetic preference are not yours and the NEA’s. The NEA debate is not about nickels and dimes at tax time, or stingy, rich people who don’t want to help poor artists. It’s not about Jesse Helms and Joe Sixpack versus the academic elite. There is a higher principle at stake, and poor artists have just as much to lose as the rich est people in the land. Because if artists have a “right” to be subsidized, so do the fanners, and the iron workers, and the truck drivers, and everybody in the country. What you end up with is a society like that in Sweden or the Soviet Union, where, in a well-intentioned but futile effort to create a “level” playing field, government policy drags down the exceptional individual even as it lifts the mediocre, where goods and services are shoddy, and where you stand in line all day for a roll of toilet paper, that — if you are lucky enough to buy it — is as soft as newsprint and still costs more than it does in the freemarket west. (Of course, you can bet the state-sponsored dancers in the Bolshoi Ballet don’t stand in line for toilet paper, but God help the Russian abstract expressionist who doesn’t merit government support!) It seems to me that the Russians today are busy learning a lesson that we have all but forgotten. With the failed Russian experiment in mind, here’s a thought about redistribution of the wealth. I do not mind that the federal, state, and. local governments use my tax dollars for needed services and aid to the poor. But the fourth amendment guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their houses and effects against unreasonable seizures. Yet the government can and does “seize” our effects, every April 15th. Using our tax “contribution” for vital services and for the needy is reasonable. But it is unreasonable seizure to “redistribute” our earnings to farmers who don’t plant, artists who can’t sell, dilettantes who run unprofitable galleries and others who may feel they have a claim on our incomes. These are my positions, and I’m sure they are the positions of Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. As long as he maintains these positions he will get my vote. It will not be a vote against art and artists, but a vote for economic stability in government, and that’s good for all citizens. BILL FITZSIMONS Flint Hill

In my 1 1/2 years as a resident of Rappahannock County, I’ve been very fortunate to have met and had close relationships with many of you and I formed friendships with several county residents that are as strong and mean as much to me as any I’ve had in my entire life. To see the common bond and the pure character traits I’ve seen in Rappahannock County and to experience the warmth and friendly reception my son and I received when we moved here makes it even that much harder to have to leave this county and all of the fine folks in it. It’s not by choice that we leave, but by necessity. We will always cherish our fine friends and neighbors in Rappahannock County, and someday will pass this way again. In your day to day travels it would be to your advantage to stop and smell the roses along the way by looking at your beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Throw a rock or pebble into your clear cold streams. Watch a sunset from atop Skyline Drive. Share the excitement of your children at Christmas, support your local sports teams.

Times are a-changin' for Virginia Democrats By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer In a book he wrote a few years ago Mary Washington College Professor Lewis P. Fickett Jr., an astute observer, noted that in the Virginia General Assembly those who “play ball with the power elite — if they don’t oppose main planks in the program or vote against the power elite on the floor on key votes —. . .are humanely treated.” As a member of the House of Delegates for eight years, 1974-82, Prof. Fickett had a close-up and personal opportunity to view the state legislature and how it works; or perhaps, how it used to work. In the 1970s and ’80s when increasing numbers of moderate Democrats and conservative Republicans were getting elected to the General Assembly, Old Guard conservative Democrats rfemained firmly in control and were the “power elite” cited by Dr. Fickett. Since the publication of his book four years ago, however, things have started to change and there is every indication even more radical change lies directly ahead. The 1991 session of the legislature will probably, for a number of reasons, be the most sharply partisan and ill-tempered of modern times. That’s just an opinion, of course, and events, like weather, could turn out to be much tamer than forecast. Yet to this observer the storm clouds seem to be gathering around the current power brokers as other potential power brokers from a different wing of their own party, or the opposite party, feel sufficiently free of restraints to meet them in head-on combat. The stars, or the times, or whatever, seem in proper convergence for the moderate-liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans, so long used to playing ball and picking up the crumbs, to demand their own seats at the table. The moderate-liberal Democrats know that no matter how the Old Guard Democrats try to cope with redistricting, they will come out on the short end. The Democratic Party of Virginia, by the nature of its constituency these days, must inevitably mirror more and more the moderate-liberal views of the national party. Congressional debate set The Winchester Business and Professional women invite the public to compare face-to-face the 7th district candidates for congress at its September 20 meeting. Republican Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. and Democratic challenger David Smith have agreed to a joint appearance to answer pre-submitted questions. With less than two months before the election this is an excellent opportunity for people to see the candidates together and compare them on the issues, a club spokesman said. The meeting will be held at the Winchester Travel Lodge (U.S. 522 at its intersection with Route 50 and 1-81), dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m., $8.50 per person, followed by the candidates’ presentation.

Earl Dickinson or Howard Anderson will be winning election after election and the seniority and power that comes with it. The conservative Democrats have lost the numbers game both within party and state ranks. Not that Virginia has suddenly turned totally away from its conservative moorings. Republicans have gained ground in the House of Delegates. The reapportionment process, barring gerrymandering so blatant it’s hard to conceive, will give them an opportunity to make further inroads in the legislature. That means that not only are the moderate-liberal Democrats apt to become more emboldened against their conservative leadership, Republicans may finally in increasing numbers decide to stop kowtowing to the Democratic leadership and get into an “us against them” mode as some GOP leaders such as Del. Frank Hargrove of Hanover have been urging for a long time. Frankly put, some Republican legislators have been afraid of being too vocal in their criticism of influential General Assembly Democrats. They fear if they anger some of the senior conservative Democrats who hold key leadership positions or money committee posts some dreadful punishment will ensue. And, indeed, such offenders have been known to lose any hope of getting a million or two for that pet project the folks back home wanted funded. “I think if we’re members of a party, we’ve got to speak our piece,” said Del. Hargrove, chairman of the Joint Republican Legislative Caucus. “We can’t mince words if we want to sell the Republican philosophy and take control of the General Assembly. There are indications that more Republican legislators will be willing to take on the powerful Democratic leaders. Already many GOP lawmakers have played hard ball in leveling charges that the incompetence of those in the Babies Administration and in the Democratic power elite of the General Assembly were largely responsible for the state’s worst fiscal mess in modern times, one that will led to severe reductions in state programs. And with Republicans shooting arrows in their direction, the conservative leadership is getting precious little support from fellow Democrats in the legislature who are of more SEAFOOD BUFFET ALL THE CRAB LEGS U-CAN-EAT plus a host of other delicacies $13.95 Children under 12 $6.95 Every Friday Night from 5pm-9pm 1 ABERDEEN BARN Located in the Holiday Inn Rt. 299 South, Culpeper Banquet Facilities and Catering Available For Reservations Call 825-1037 jj Riverside Dining a Bui ft entirely of logs on five riverfront acres, you can listen to the Shenandoah River from our porch and enioy a spec tacular view of the Massanutten Range while you dine on our varied menu Menu includes fresh Catfish, Lamb Shanks, Steaks, Prime Rib, Pork Tenderloin and Pan Fried Chicken HOURS WM.-Fri.-S-9 p m .

And for the Old Guard Democrats in Virginia they are undoubtedly changing much too fast. That means essentially that as time progresses and new demographic tides take hold the future political game will be played more and more between conservative Republicans and moderate-liberal Democrats. Speaker of the House A.L. Philpott, a man of the Old Guard, can probably stay in that role as long as he wants barring Republican capture of the House, but there won’t be another Democratic Speaker like him or his immediate predecessors John Warren Cooke and E. Blackburn Moore, all from essentially rural areas. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now the press secretary for Seventh District Congressman D.

Farm Safety Week, 1990 President George Bush, in proclaiming the week of Sept. 16-22 as National Farm Safety Week, has called for priority commitment to safety and health by those who live and work on the nations farms and ranches, and for stronger support for community health and safety programs by agricultural organizations. This years theme is “Cut Farm Safety Risks in 1990.” This theme looks ahead to making real gains in reducing the number and severity of farm accidents beginning right now to help assure a healthy, productive agriculture. According to National Safety Council estimates for 1989, agricultural work-related accidents resulted in 1,300 deaths and 120,000 disabling injuries. Many illnesses and chronic health problems among those who farm and the result of excessive, unprotected exposure to dust, allergies, chemicals, toxic gases, heat, cold, noise, intense sun, insects and long days running hardriding equipment.

Lightning (lashes across the sky. Thunder unleashes its ominous rumblings. The first spatter of rain falls briskly on a nearby row of rocks. The wind begins an eerie song high above in the swaying tops of tall pines. Sullen banks of clouds blanket the pale moon. The creatures of the woods scurry to their dens to wait out the approaching storm. Every living thing in the forest seems to be holding its breath... in anticipation ... or in fear. And this is the way of the world, too. There will always be anxiety.. .always fear. Where, then, do we go for refuge? To what or to whom do we look for comfort and safety? For centuries God’s house has offered protection against the adversities of life. It has provided solace and peace in the presence of grief and fear.

Hospice seeks volunteer home care providers The Hospice of the Rapidan is seeking home care and bereavement care volunteers, uncompensated employees providing supplementary support services to terminally ill patients and their families. Hospice volunteers are emotionally mature, skilled in listening, and certified through completion of training, according to volunteer coordinator Paige Coombs. Volunteer tasks include: Companionship: This is undoubtedly the single most important service that a volunteer provides to patient and family. A visit provides an opportunity for social contact and a break from normal routines. When the patient wants to talk, the volunteer is trained to listen and respond. Transportation: Many spouses are unable to drive needing transportation for doctor’s visits, shopping, etc. Respite: This allows the family members a brief absence to complete errands, to have a change to scene, or to have some time alone. Community liaison: Supplying available community resources is vi tal information. Funeral preparations: Families are more comfortable discussing these arrangements after talking with educated volunteers. Volunteers tour a funeral home gathering much useful information. Bereavement care: Volunteers support the family often after developing a close personal relationship for up to thirteen months after the death. The contacts may be visits, cards, or telephone calls. Volunteers may choose to serve hospice in areas other than direct patient care through clerical help, fund raising; public relations, or the Board of Directors. Hospice volunteers have donated over 1,100 hours of community service for a value of $7,800 with 9,393 miles for a value of $2,067 this year. Volunteers saved hospice over $9,500 during this period, Ms. Coombs said. “If you are interested in joining Hospice’s special kind of volunteer caring, call the office at (703) 8254840.” The certified volunteer training course begins Tuesday, Sept. 25. School night for scouting Boys and their parents are invited to Rappahannock County Elementary School on Thursday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. During this meeting, the parents and boys will learn about their local Cub Scout Pack and have an opportunity to register with the Pack.

Forestry poster contest The “Keep Virginia Green” Poster Contest is sponsored by Virginia Forestry Association and the Department of Forestry Stewardship Program with emphasis being on good caretakers of the forest with good management. Over $6,000 in prize money is available. There will be 74 high school cash awards amounting to $1,400. Elementary students will be eligible for 387 awards amounting to $610 in cash. Also available to grades K-8 will be School Incentive Awards if the school holds a local judging of its posters. The amount of these cash awards will be based on the number of posters entered in the local judging. The money can be used at the school’s discretion, most often to provide prizes to the local winners. This gives the students instant recognition for their efforts and the winning posters can then be displayed in the school prior to the Nov. 16 state contest deadline. The general theme for the 39th “Keep Virginia Green” Poster Contest is “Forest Stewardship.” A steward is one who is responsible for taking care of something; thus in forestry the notion of “stewardship” means the owners or managers of forestland take responsibility to manage wisely the resources and must balance the many possible uses of the forest to satisfy many needs. The students can illustrate one or more natural resources benefits, the need to be responsible caretakers of our forest and what resources they eryoy most in the forest. For more information about the contest and an entry form, write or call Glenda Parrish, Administrative Assistant, Virginia Forestry Assor ciation, 1205 East Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219 — Telephone: (804) 644-8462. In last year’s contest 34,945 posters from 359 schools were entered. Virginia Forestry Association is a non-profit, membership association consisting of tree farmers, foresters, forest businesses, and conservation-minded citizens. Founded in 1943, the purpose is to encourage the wise use of our forest resources for present and future generations.

The Brandy Station Foundation was formed in early 1989 to foster protection of the historic rural character of eastern Culpeper County. The scene, on June 9, 1863, of the greatest cavalry battle ever fought in the Western Hemisphere, Brandy Station also lies at the heart of some of the finest agricultural land on the East Coast, most of which has been continuously farmed since that day. The battlefield, including Stevensburg and Kelly’s Ford, has been certified a Virginia Historic Landmark and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources has determined that the site meets the criteria for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Nevertheless, the area from the Fauquier County line at the Rappahannock to Brandy Station is threatened with massive commercial, industrial and residential development which would irreparably damage our prized resources, according to a Foundation spokesman. In fact, Secretary of the Interior, Manuel Lujan, Jr., in announcing his American Battlefield Protection Program, included Brandy Station among the most threatened Civil War Battlefields. “The public is cordially invited to attend the Brandy Station Foundation’s fundraiser in support of its effort to preserve our most prized resources — historic sites, clean water, and prime farmland,” the spokesman added. Admission is $15 per person in advance through the Brandy Station Foundation, Box 165, Brandy Station, VA 22714 or $20 per person the day of the event.

Amissville celebrates 180 years with festival Final plans are being made for the Ami8sville Firemen’s festival and craft show next weekend, Sept. 29 and 30. Organizers hope everyone will bring their family and friends to enjoy this free event. Hours on Saturday are 9 to 4 and Sunday noon to 6. ' Did you know that the village was named 180 years ago? Accoiding to Mrs. Katherine Walter Riley, a direct descendant of the Amiss family, Joseph Amiss settled here in 1763. By 1810 they needed a post office so the village was named Amissville after the Amiss family. (Villagers voted between the Basye and Amiss families to determine the name; the Amiss family won by only one vote.) Mr. Thomas Amiss was the first postmaster. When Mr. Joseph Amiss settled here in 1763, he built his home in an area behind what is now Mr. Elmer Jenkins’ garage; it was later known as the Deatheridge Farm. The Holloway and Levell families followed shortly thereafter, inter-marrying with the Amiss family. Several of our local residents besides Mrs. Katherine Riley are direct descendants of the Amiss family, including 94-year old Mr. Carl Weaver, Mr. Richard Latham, Mrs. Jesse Settle, Mr. Eddie Hackley, Mr. Russell Hackley, and Mrs. Alice Hitt.

It also is a nice idea for a hostess gift or bazaar item as the holidays approach. Special apple relish 4 c. chunky applesauce 1 c. chopped dried peaches 1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple (drained) 1 c. sugar 2T. lemon juice 3/4 c. raisins Combine all ingredients in 3 quart casserole. Cover with wax paper. Microwave at High for 20 to 25 minutes stirring well several times. Spoon into hot sterilized jars and seal. Yields 7 to 8 six ounce jars. Serve with pork, beef or poultry. The microwave also makes apple butter and applesauce quick and easy instead of spending hours in the kitchen. Microwave applesauce Use a two-quart glass or microwave container. (I used a large Corningware casserole with glass lid.) Wash apples and quarter; cut out seeds. Fill the two-quart container with apples and 1/4 cup water. Microwave on High 17-18 minutes. Stop and stir 1-2 times during cooking. Let apples cool. Run through food mill to puree apples and remove skins. Add 1/2 cup sugar or more to taste. Pour into plastic freezer containers leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Freeze. Yield: about 6-8 half pints. Real estate agents must take training A new state law now requires that all agents and brokers with a Virginia real estate license complete six hours of a state prescribed continuing education course. The training must be completed prior to the expiration of their current license. Real estate officials report that many agents are not aware of this requirement and that they should take action to complete the required six hours as soon as possible. The six hour mandatory continuing education course covers recent developments in real estate law and related subjects. The next two courses will be given on Tuesday, Sept. 25 and on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Also, evening sessions will be held on Oct. 2 and 4 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuition is $60 for all six hours of training. Real estate agents and brokers should register for the training by calling the National Institute at (703) 893-0655 or 1-800-277-NIRE.

Sculptor draws creative energy from her life By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer For local sculptress Maggi Morris, creating a varied collection of artistic pieces is only part of her life. At her home nestled between the , mountains in Rappahannock, Ms. , Morris juggles time with her threeyear-old son Eston, two pigs, four purebred Tarentais cows, one iris garden farm, 20 acres of hay, a developing trout farm, her own large farmhouse and her custom-built studio behind the house in Castleton. While life demands many talents from the 35-year-old sculptress, her work is her passion. Standing in her self-built studio behind her home, her hands roughened from chisels and sandpaper, she’s comfortable amid the large stone chunks and tree trunks. Ms. Morris said she finds contentment in her work. “I spend a lot of time in here,” she said, standing amid the tools of her trade: chisels and chainsaws, hammers and screwdrivers, soft wax and sharp points. The building remains unfinished and with time she hopes to complete the one-room studio/workshop area. Meanwhile, household demands, farm obligations, her association with Middle Street Gallery in Washington as well as occupying the 1 newly elected position of vice-president of the cooperative, and her work in stone and wood keep Ms. Morris busy. Since her studio is part of her home, she divides her duties on the farm with her sculpting. “At lunch, I take a few minutes to water the animals or feed, maybe pull a weed or mow,” she said, with a wave of her hand encompassing the grounds around her. “This way I get a break, think about a piece I’m working on or another piece and still get a few things done,” she said with a smile, adding she loves working at home and has found self-discipline “no problem. “I love being in here,” she said of her studio. Since early childhood, Ms. Morris has worked with a chisel. She began her professional Career .at the Torpedo Factory Art Centef in Alexandria, her native home. Since her career began, she has traveled widely to areas around the world such as Greece, Egypt, Britian, Malaysia, Singapore and Brazil and has worked with instructors Anton Benson, Katherine Hobbs, Hazel Van Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan SCULPTOR MAGGI MORRIS, her son Eston and “Guardian Angel.” Hatter, Barbara Preston and master sculptor Retha Gambaro, with whom she served an apprenticeship. Though Ms. Morris has worked creatively in stone and wood since childhood, several years passed after her arrival to Rappahannock County in the early part of the 1980’s when heft ^chisel wa» *.quiet, her stones smooth. When she returned with her chisels and sharpened blades she brought new ideas and new energy. “This is what I do best and it’s what I love,” she said, explaining as of Aug. 1, she became a Ml-time sculptress, working five days a week in Hunting ethics and safety course for youngsters How can a young person grow up, without the benefit of a hunting mentor, and really learn hunting ethics, sportsmanship, and safety? That is the concern behind the first Shenandoah Valley Jakes Event. The two-day program will run from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 and from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7 at Camp May Flather, west of Bridgewater. “It seems like every year we hear about hunters getting injured, not just turkey hunters but others as well. This program will help young people start hunting with good habits,” said Wayne Kelley, Forest Supervisor on the George Washington National Forest. The Jakes Event, which stands for Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship, is just one of the many programs shared between the USDA Forest Service, the National Wild Turkey Feder ation, and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The Stonewall Jackson Chapter and the Virginia Chapter are representing the National Wild Turkey Federation at the program. On Nov. 5, the opening day of turkey season in western Virginia, young hunters will be able to participate in hunting more safely, if they take advantage of the Jakes Event. “We hope that these young people will not only learn ethical, safe hunting practices but that this will be the start of a lifetime committed to wildlife conservation,” Mr. Kelley said. Camp May Flather, where the Jakes Event will be held, is located in the Dry River District of George Washington National Forest along the scenic North River at the base of Shenandoah Mountain. It consists of several rustic cabins, a large dining Park requests action to halt air pollution Shenandoah National Park Su-\ perintendent William Wade has \ asked the Commonwealth of Vir- I ginia to act to ensure that existing air quality problems at Shenandoah National Park are not exacerbated by proposed new power plant development in the region. “Current air pollution levels have undeniable effects,” Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior S. Scott Sewall said. “Visibility is substantially degraded most of the time, Park streams are being’ acidified, and several species of Park vegetation are proving vulnerable to existing air pollutants.” To prevent further deterioration of Park resources, the Department recommended that the Virginia Department of Air Pollution Control not issue a permit for the proposed Multitrade Limited cogeneration facility near Hurt, Virginia (south of Lynchburg), unless the state can ensure that plant emissions will not add to adverse impacts to visibility, aquatic resources, or vegetation at Shenandoah National Park. The Department recommended that Virginia develop a comprehensive strategy to protect air qualityrelated values of Shenandoah National Park. her home-based studio. “If you don’t work full-time, you can’t support yourself,” she said, adding that work is “piling up” and she needs more time in her studio. “It’s no problem for me to work harder,” she said with a smile, adding often she will wend time in the stildid outside her kitchen door after her son is asleep and night has fallen. “I just sit in here, think of new ideas for pieces or just get inspired,” she said, looking around at several pieces of work; some nearly completed, some shapeless yet showing hall, and a stone meeting room. The event will be limited to the first 100 youth who pre-register. Each young person, ages 16 years and younger, must be accompanied by an adult. A parent can come with up to two young people. A $15 fee is required for each person (youth and adult) attending, which will cover the cost for food and the use of the camp. Check-in will be from 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Oct. 6. For more information and a registration packet contact either Dennis Campbell, President of the Stonewall Jackson Chapter, at (703) 337-3566 after 6 p.m. or Rod C. McClanahan, Wildlife Biologist for the George Washington National Forest, at (703) 828-2591. marks of work, some in progress, the idea complete, the final touches remaining. Prices - depending on material, time and detail - range from $300 to $6,000. Working on several pieces at one time — to both ease the monotony of working weeks on one single piece and to see a piece completed while one is not - Ms. Morris said eases the boredom of the job. Each piece varies in time of completion, total hours depending on type of materials, size and details, but she said she can “rough one (an object) out in a day or two while sanding and finishing takes weeks” or even months. “I get so excited to see how a piece will look,” she said, adding that completion adds satisfaction to the job. For Ms. Morris each piece she carves is special. “Like the Guardian Angel,” she waves her arm in the direction of the four-foot high angel standing proudly in the studio. “That was a log from a tree down the road, planted 30 years ago,” she said, adding that after transformation into the angel, the tree has life beyond its roots. The idea of preservation is always present in Ms. Morris’s work. Using animal shapes, both real and imaginary, to express emotion she preserves the creature and the feeling in time. While several of her new pieces are in wood, she said she prefers to work in stone — her favorites are alabaster or soapstone - though she has worked in several other materials such as bronze or marble. “It’s easier to work with the grain in stone as wood grains resists new shapes,” she said of her preference to work with soft stone. As materials vary, so do shapes and sizes, ranging from small hand-sized wall pieces to a three-foot tall beaver or the nearly life-sized angel, entitled “The Guardian Angel,” part of the Scared Cows Exhibit in September at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. “I mostly use animal shapes to express human emotion,” she said, yet she points to an “experimental piece” of human shapes with their arms locked together in a circle; the cool stone surface steeped in the warmth and personality Ms. Morris’s chisel has carved. Between shows in Rappahannock as well as in Washington D.C., Pennsylvania and other areas, she still finds time to spend in creating her work at home. Working parttime as an artist since 1982, Ms. Morris says now she is starting to “see some reward for her work.” By word of mouth, through shows both locally and in other areas, and in other galleries, she advertises her talents. “Advertising in magazines is very expensive,” she said, adding her brochure, found in several places in Rappahannock County and in Washington D.C. galleries, helps make customers familiar with her work. “As you develop a clientele, you develop friendships,” she said with a smile. Presently, Ms. Morris is showing in the Scared Cows exhibition at the. Middle Street Gallery in Washington through the end of September. “It’s good to have three pieces of one particular medium,” she said, adding she plans several future pieces in wood and several in stone.

State Fair offers expanded lineup RICHMOND — The “all-new” State Fair of Virginia lives up to its claim with * hat of new facilities, services.*** features to delight every taste, according to the organizers. Fair officials unveiled a living history installation that traces five centuries of life in America; new maps, rest areas, information specialists and other aids to making one’s way around the fairgrounds in comfort and eryoyment; major new agricultural features, a new performance area featuring a show specially produced for the fair, an expanded horse show and armadillos. The new features and facilities opening in 1990 are the first manifestations of a long-range plan developed by officials of Atlantic Rural Exposition, the fair's parent organization, to provide the major showcase for Virginia’s agriculture, business, fine arts, education and technology. This long-range plan also includes capital improvements to the fairgrounds that will total some $12 million. American Heritage Village builds upon American Heritage Showcase, which was established on the fairgrounds in 1976. The village will eventually cover 11 acres on the fairgrounds, making it the facility’s largest feature. The exhibit, staffed by costumed volunteers who depict activities and crafts of various eras, traces civilization on the American continent from the Indian settlements encountered by the first European colonizers, through furtrading encampments and the homesteading of the early pioneers, up to Yesteryear Arcade, a street of old time stores from the era 1880-1920. Fairgoers can get a ride from the parking lots to the gates on the fair’s new courtesy trams, sponsored by WXGI Radio, B103.7-FM radio and the Virginia Lottery. Each tram will be staffed by a green-coated FanAmbassador to help orient fairgoers to the various attractions. These ambassadors, sponsored by Richmond Newspapers, also will be stationed at various points around the fairgrounds to answer questions, Fair officials have made other changes to help visitors get around on the fairgrounds; new “user friendly” maps simplify attraction locations on the grounds, a brand new Flag Center, visible from most spots on the grounds, provides a central meeting place that includes benches for relaxing; and the Virginia Green area, which, while it features nearly continuous entertainment, also provides visitors with a pleasant place to sit and watch the fair go by.

Smith Continued from page 1 If anything, the tempest demonstrates that those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. The Northern Virginia Daily reported last week that Slaughter was late in paying $1,479.79 in real estate and personal property taxes of his own last year. The taxes, which were due Dec. 5, 1989, were paid on Jan. 12, 1990, the newspaper reported. Slaughter’s campaign manager, Tony Likins, told the paper that taxes were paid late because the congressional session ran late. He said Slaughter paid the bill as soon as he returned to his home in Culpeper after the adjournment. Responding to attacks from the Slaughter campaign that he is “inex perienced and unqualified,” Smith asserted that 25 percent of congressional candidates have never held elective office. He said he has found many vot ers across the Seventh District share his concern for the environ ment, which he calls a critical issue of the campaign. ‘‘This district is beautiful — and our congressman is rated the second worst in the Vir ginia delegation for his environmen tal votes...” “The Middle East crisis,” Smith continued, “points up the need for ah ternate energy. The president pointed that out in his speech. Unfortunately he thinks that means Alaskan oil instead of Middle Eastern oil.” - • He said he has found people willing to make the necessary sacrifices to turn to alternative energy. As the president of (Jrystalite Solar Marketing Group. Smith added, “Crystalite’s phone is ringing.... There is a lot more interest in solar energy. It’s a big swing." He said the most important encouragement toward alternative sOUPC#S of energy would be for the fedeWU government “to become an alternative energy consumer.” He advocated the installation of solar panels for heating and power on military installations, and suggested that the government’s fleet of vehicles could be converted to bum domestically produced ethanol as fuel instead or gasol i ne. Smith said he supports President Bush’s actions in the Middle East. “He is doing what he has to do. You have got to stop aggesssion by nipping it in the bud.” * Although he said there was an advantage thrown to incumbents by the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait “for two or three weeks,” Smith said he sees the scene shifting back. “If the situation stays the same, I think the issues will return. The price of oil may become the bigger issue.” And incumbents have been hurt by questions about another issue, he saidA Voters are furious about the cost of bailing out the savings and loan industry, and have two questions: “ ‘Are you an incumbent?’ and if so, ‘Why didn’t you move faster?’ ” Smith, who has failed in his attempt to schedule a series of debates with Slaughter, has adopted a strategy of debating a tape of Slaughter broadcast by Winchester radio station WINC in August. “They call it a Spring Air® Back Supporter® FACTORY REBATE SALE UP TO $100 REBATE DIRECT TO YOU SPRING AIR * BACK SUPPORTER "LIMITED EDITION l»» s TWIN 2-PC.

I feel it is my opponent on the issues,” he said of the strategy. Last week, the issue was abortion. On that tape, Slaughter reaffirms his opposition to abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. He adds that he is opposed to a Constitutional amendment banning abortion. “The question of restrictions currently rests with state legislatures, not with the United States Congress,” the congressman says. Smith called abortion “the issue” for single-issue voters on both sides. He voiced, as he has from the beginning of his campaign, a strong prochoice stand. “I think moving the issue into state legislatures is a cop-out. It shouldn’t be left up to the national legislature. I think government ought to stay out of it. I support Roe (the 1973 Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision, which affirmed a woman’s right to an abortion) and I think that’s where it ought to stand.” Asked about the possibility of a strong stand on that emotional issue hurting his campaign, he admitted, “I wonder if I’ll get picketed. But if you can’t stand that, then you shouldn’t run for Congress.” If elected, Smith said he has some ideas about how to reform the electoral process to make it fairer to challengers. He suggested that the frank mailing privilege should be limited to genuine discussion of issues rather than self-serving handouts. “If they are going to send mail at my expense . . ..at least make it worth reading.” He said he does not support a limit on congressional terms, as some have proposed. “If somebody is doing a good job, has a good rapport with people, it doesn’t seem right to have to quit just because he has run out of time,” Smith said. The key to reform of the electoral process, he said, “is to find new and creative ways to make representatives more accountable, to make the election system work.” Council Continued from page 1 “You have too much to lose to fight this — and you will lose. We had an opportunity to resolve this, and I think both sides blew it.” David Smoot replied that he agreed both sides “blew it.” “Not a one of these boys needs to be in jail,” Mr. Smoot told the council members. “I’ve seen more than all of them . . . The way they look at this is you are the big bad powers and they are the little people — that’s how they look at it.” “If some of the young people,” Mr. Reynolds said, “had taken David Smoot’s advice a month or more ago, it wouldn’t have gotten to this. He has tried to be a positive influence . . . He tried to make others understand that it is the way you look as well as the way you act.” Mr. Miller, expressing his opposition to aggressive action by the town, called the young peoples’ anger, “a statement of frustration of low and moderate income people of the county who feel left out of the equation. That is the basic problem here: we don’t know each other anymore. If we knew each other we wouldn’t treat each other this way.” Council member Ray Gooch replied, “Polarization is not what this council is about... I hope I live here long enough to see us address issues before the town and the county in terms other than the polarization of haves and have nots, of born heres and come heres.” Councilman Mark Bailey told the young people that, 10 or 15 years ago, “I spent more time on that corner than anyone in this room. People complained . . . and we laid low for a while. “When you pushed back ... it is ruined. It breaks my heart to think that comer I used to hang out on is ruined. There is no place left to go.” On Mr. Morehouse’s motion, the council voted 5-1 with Mr. Miller opposed, to request aggressive enforcement of existing state laws regulating disorderly conduct, unlawful assembly and obstruction of free passage. He also proposed a committee of council members, residents and representatives of the young people to work toward resolving the problem and perhaps finding another place for them to gather. “You have a lot of support,” he told the young people. “This is not a problem unique to Washington, Virginia. There’s kids all across the United States with nothing to do.” Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Bailey, Evelyn Willis and David Smoot were asked to serve on the committee. In other business, the council: • agreed to advertise a request for proposals for cable television to serve the Town of Washington. A public hearing will be held at the council’s Oct. 8 meeting. • heard that the Census Bureau’s preliminary count had found 187 residents in the town, down about 20 percent from the 247 resident., counted in the 1980 census.

Soccer team seeks winning combo By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After dropping their first three games against tough competition, Rappahannock soccer coach Mike Tupper remains optimistic that the team will gel as the seaso progresses. As a new coach working with a largely young team, Mr. Tupper said he is still searching for the winning combination of players in his starting lineup. Though the Panthers have lost all three games by lopsided margins, “the scores really don’t reflect the team’s ability,” Coach Tupper said. The team has played well during the first half of all three games, he expalained, but let down its effort during the second half. Against George Mason, for example, the Panthers held the Mustangs to a one-goal lead at halftime, Festival Continued from page 1 fragrant bubbling of apple butter smoldering on an outdoor fire, creating the feel of autumn as trees begin their seasonal change and the smell of woodfires and apple cider fill the air. Strolling under the rays of an autumn sun bring thirst and hunger. Quenching both, spectators will find a smorgasboard of quality around the town beginning with perfectly flavored apple cider available thoughout the town. Homemade delights can be found in various spots — a bake sale sponsored by the Rappahannock Extension Clubs at the Sperryville Antique Market, a Saturday wine tasting enhanced with homemade breads and pastries at Country Home Antiques and The Annex, an afternoon snack at the Woodsmoke Cafe and various delights like funnel cakes and drinks at the Church Mouse gift shop. Crafts of various types and designs are offered from one end of town to the other. Local painter Tanya Richie adds color and technique to the afternoon sis she visits Southern Drawl Artworks on Main Street, Sunday afternoon. Glassblower Eric Kvames, another local artisan, demonstrates at Water Street Antiques weekend afternoons while various other artists can be found at Old Way Craft Village demonstrating woodwork, metal work, glass work and other fine arts. Country Manor, at the west end of town on U.S. 211, will host a basketweaver. Sperryville October festival is known for its fine collection of antiques from various periods and places. Keeping with the tradition, local businesses provide a variety of antiques and sales. Sperryville’s Indoor Antique Market, located off U.S. 211, hosts a variety of items on special sale for the weekend clebration. Off the beaten track is Elmer’s Antiques, one quarter mile west of Sperryville on Rt. 651, his shop offers designs in many styles and periods. Country Home Antiques offers not only fine antiques of numerous periods but activities for the children while mom and dad browse. Storytelling with John Cheatwood is avilable from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon under the sycamore tree. Several businesses have the kids in mind. That Sperryville Emporium and Gift Shop will provide activities in the parking lot for children. While children enjoy the rides and cotton candy, parents can enjoy the music from various bands around the village. Renowned musicians David Witt and John Rimel will perform at the Faith Mountain Company both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Their repertoire includes such artists as Bob Dylan, Waylon Jennings, Bruce Hornsby, Randy Newman and several other popular musicians. On Saturday afternoon only, between 1 and 4 p.m. the Culture Vulture Band will perform at Country Home Antiques and The Annex. Musical entertainment is not an exclusive daytime affair. Besides the two bands hosted by the the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, The Old Way Craft Village will present as a special guest the OK’s, Saturday night at the village on U.S. 211 west. Admission tickets are $7 per person to dance to music from the ’60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Beginning at 7 p.m. in the five piece band will play until..../ Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance at Old Way Craft Village, Mt. Side Market, Culpeper Music, The Natural Market in Warrenton, the Woodsmoke Cafe and several other places in the village. For overnight guests, lodgings can be found at various bed and breakfast accomodations in Sperryville and around Rappahannock County. but lost the game in the second half by allowing six Mustang goals while scoring none themselves. David Barney got the lone Rappahannock goal in that game. In the season opener against St. Anne-Belfield, the Panthers lost the game 6-2. Jason Henry and Ryan Welch scored the two Rappahannock goals. In the second game, against Eastern Mennonite, Welch and Henry again got the offensive honors for the Panthers, although Rappahannock suffered an 8-2 defeat against the strong private school team. “They were a young team,” the coach said, “but sound on thenfundamentals. ” Coach Tupper said that his young team is “gaining maturity” through game experience, a problem which has plagued the Panther soccer team since the program began. Without a junior varsity squad, some prospects arrive with little or no organized soccer background. Coach Tupper said he hopes that the recently organized county soccer league, with teams down to the kindergarten level, will provide a feeder program for the high school in future years. That, he said, should be of immense help to the success of the program. Right now, however, his players are struggling and “physically tiring” diming the second half of their matches. Physical conditioning is “definitely a factor” in their play during the later stages of a game, he said. “The boys are running a lot, working hard on that. It takes a commitment on their part to get in shape to play 80 minutes of soccer. He said he plans to realign the team’s offensive formation, while also giving Andrew Kerr some time in the goal. Starting goalie Chris Stringfellow will shift to fullback, allowing Kerr to get some game experience. “We have progressed,” Coach Tupper said, and he said he expects the team’s development to continue as the players gain confidence and experience in playing together. Correction In an article about Dr. Gerald Hawkins’ presentation on the mysterious crop rings in England, the date of the event was wrong. Dr. Hawkins will be speaking on Friday, Sept. 21, not Sept. 29 as the article stated. The talk will be held at Blackwater Homestead.

Cuts Continued from page 1 Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell reported that he had been successful in getting U.S. Intec, the manufacturer of the roofing material used on part of the high school to contract with Southwest Roofing to make repairs and do some preventative maintenance to the roof over the west corridor. However the old roof over the auditorium and former coach’s office that is now used for the electronic classroom is not covered by any warranty and continues to leak. Mr. Chappell said he and custodian Wilson Atkins had put 10 gallons of roofing cement on that roof and it does not now leak. “We’ve taken care of the problem on a band aid basis,” he said. Dr. Gangel had intended to schedule that roof for replacement this year, but when he was preparing the budget, he left it out because, with lower revenues from the state, the budget was already asking for much more funds from the county. The underground storage tank was scheduled to be replaced or be moved above ground in this year’s budget, but when the budget was cut by the supervisors, Dr. Gangel decided to delay moving the tank and instead have it tested for leaks and insured. The tests will cost $1,550, he reported, and the insurance wfill cost between $4,000 and $7,000. This was more than he had anticipated, he said, but other insurance had cost less. He said he had been informed that companies would probably only be willing to insure the tank for one year, so next year’s budget will have Guilty Continued from page 1 Mr. Magreithor pleaded guilty to the charge in General District Court last Tuesday. Mr. Howard pleaded nolo contendre, or no contest, to the charge on Tuesday. Both were sentenced to 30 days in jail, suspended, a $500 fine and 40 hours of community service. Mr. Schwier’s case was continued until Nov. 20 after Mr. Luke told Judge Foley that the warrant for his arrest has not yet been served. The three voted by absentee ballots in the town’s election. Capt. Streapy’s investigation grew out of a complaint made to Mr. Lukfe by Newbill Miller, one of the nine candidates for a seat on the Town Council in this year’s election. He won one of the five at-large seats. Mr. Lynch, who was appointed to the council to fill a vacancy last year, also ran for an elected seat, but did not win. Mr. Miller said he went to Mrs. Leake before the election and questioned the eligibility of the three to vote. The registrar told him that they had sworn under oath that they lived in the town, and would therefore be allowed to vote. “She did it correctly,” Mr. Miller said. After the election, he added, he reported his suspicions to Mr. Luke, who began an investigation into the allegation. The charges against Lynch and the other three men completed the investigation, Mr. Luke said. Roy Wheeler Realty Co.

Dr. Gangel reported that all the work that has been done on the parking lot in back of the high school and the softball field to the side of the building was done by Steve Leake, who donated his time and the use of his equipment. “I can’t begin to express my gratitude to the Leakes for their community spirit in doing this work for us,” Mrs. Massie said. The board voted unanimously to accept the donation valued at $2,695 and to thank the Leakes. “It’s deeply appreciated,” Mrs. Massie said. Earlier the board had toured the parking lot and ballfield and had discussed ways to protect the school’s windows from errant foul balls. More good news came from enrollment figures. A significant portion of state aid to the schools is based on average daily membership as measured in March. The budget was based on the state’s estimate of 904 for Rappahannock for this year, but as of the board meeting there were 937 students enrolled, 357 at the high school and 580 at the elementary school. Dr. Gangel said the three grade levels he had been following carefully to make sure they stayed within state standards for maximum class size were all within standards. There are 95 students in kindergarten in four sections, 66 in first grade in three sections and 71 in third grade in three classes, he reported. State standards call for no more than 26 students in a kindergarten classroom unless there is a full-time teacher’s aide with the class, no more than an average of 24 students per class in a first grade, and no more than an average of 25 per class for second grade and higher. The increase in enrollment should result in more money from the state, perhaps enough to balance the funds cut because of the state’s fiscal crisis, but the extra money will not be available until very late in the school year. Another money related subject that was discussed at the board meeting was fund raising for the seventh-grade trip to Williamsburg. Trip sponsor Arthur Neufeld said he hoped to have fewer product sales, particularly of “little things that gather dust on a shelf,” and concentrate on fund raisers that raise a lot of money. He said that students would continue to sell pizza, flower bulbs and wrapping paper. This year there is a cookbook for sale with recipes from parents of students at the school and from teachers. That has been very successful, he said, and the students have not been directly involved in the sale. He also plans to continue the spaghetti and barbecue dinners. He hopes to also sponsor a concert by Trapezoid at the high school auditorium. “I’m looking for larger fundraisers that involve me and a couple of parents,” he said. “The students need to be involved as much as possible,” Hamp REAL ESTATE BUYERS Do you know that most likely the agent you are “working” with actually works for the seller and you are not represented?

SHUMAN BUILDERS, INC 150 James Madison Hwy, Culpeper, VA 22701 (703) 825-5184 Member Piedmont Virginia Building Industry Association ton District representative Bryant Lee said. Mr. Neufeld replied that every product sale not only involves student time but also class time to account for the money. “Some classes are good fund raisers, and some are not,” he said. “The kids try, but eventually they get worn out.” He said he had explored the possibility of starting fund raising for the trip as early as fourth grade, but fourth grade teachers had vetoed that idea. Besides getting School Board approval for his fund raisers, Mr. Neufeld also got approval to raise the direct cost for each student from $65 to $85. “Each year the cost of the trip goes up 10 to 12 percent,” he said. Students who cannot afford the cost will get financial help, he said. The board also gave approval to a plan to allow seniors who only need a few credits to graduate, are overage for their grade, and are in danger of dropping out to work for part of the day in a “cooperative work experience.” Susan Fox, the drop-out prevention coordinator, will work with employers to make sure the work experience is related to the students’ educational experience, Dr. Gangel said. 159 ACRE FARM One of the loveliest properties in Rappahannock with pastoral views of gently rolling land surrounded by other large farms, wildlife everywhere.

Other projects which received grants were a new main library for Appomattox County, a branch library at Broadway for Rockingham County and an expansion of a regional library in Clarksville. Fauquier County was the only applicant that did not receive approval for its request. Bids from contractors for building the new library were due to be opened Wednesday. Once that process is completed, the Library Board will know whether enough funds have been raised to start construction of the building. Board member Mary Jamieson said, “I think we’re in the zone where we can commit enough to start.” Mrs. Green said she remains concerned that patrons continue to help out the library financially. The grant money and funds raised so far will probably provide the building and its furnishings, she believes, but there will still be needs for landscaping, for paving the driveway, and for making up for state cutbacks for such things as monies for ordering books and magazines.
