Most of the mountains are still green, with isolated pockets of yellow poplars and scarlet maples. Peak colors will probably not show until the third week in October, although weather conditions could speed up or slow down the process. a \jmwnE4a arching. a Rappahannock News photos/Cindy Mahan APPLES WILL BE the focus of Sperry ville’s Apple Harvest Festival this weekend. Sperryville primps for Apple Fest By LISA G. CURRIE and LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writers As the maple trees and dogwoods slowly begin to sport their vivid autumn hues, the town of Sperryville is anticipating its sixth annual Apple Harvest Festival this weekend. Some vendors and crafters have jumped the gun, setting up booths and grills in the parking lot of That Sperryville Emporium for the past several weekends. But the true festival begins on Saturday and continues all day Sunday, rain or shine. Sponsored by the Sperryville Business Council, the event draws crafters, cooks, artists and antique dealers, along with activities for the entire family. From the entrance of the village, at That Sperryville Emporium, to the village’s edges at Country Manor and the Sperryville Antique Market, visitors and local residents can eryoy a pleasant fall day strolling down the historic streets and enjoying festive attractions along the way. Highlighting the afternoon both Saturday and Sunday is the Sperryville Volunteer Firemens’ Carnival. This is a new addition to the festival, transplanted from its previous June date to the fall, where the department hopes it will provide yet another drawing card for the town’s celebration. The carnival will actually kick off the weekend on Thursday night, when the rides light up and fill the night with the joyous sounds of laughter. See APPLE, p.

School costs 1 may jump-^ $200,000 State budget cuts will force counties to pay larger share By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Built-in needs of the school system combined with cut backs in state aid could increase the county cost for schools up to $200,000 for the next budget year, without including any raises or increase in program or services. School Superintendent David Gangel told the Board ol Supervisors Monday. ! Dr. Gangel told the supervisors he would try to get some of those things taken care of under the current budget to “lighten the impact” next year. This will be possible because the county should actually show an increase in local aid this year because of increased enrollment. | The budget was prepared based on an average daily membership of 904, Dr. Gangel said, while the enrollment is actually 950. ! ! Dr. Gangel estimated that ADM in March, which ik the date the state actually uses in computing local aid, will be 934. One of the increases Dr. Gangel mentioned will be needed is replacing the underground fuel oil storage tank at the elementary school. He estimated that this mjjght cost $50,000. He predicted an increase in the cost of fuels of $6,000. Another $50,000 to $60,000 will be needed for See BUDGET, p. A-8 Family apartment rules may change By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals granted George and Marlina Lee’s request for a special use permit to construct a family apartment for Mr. Lee’s mother on their property in the Castleton area. The Lees intend to construct the apartment and a garage in a separate building on their five acre property. The apartment will be 800 square feet and built as a second story over an 800 square foot garage. The building will share a driveway with the Lees’ current house and will share the well, but will have a separate septic tank and drainfield and will be located approximately 300 feet away from the main house. Frank Reynolds, representing Deborah Amos, who owns land across the road from the Lees, objected that the proposed construction constituted a separate dwelling rather than a family apartment. Ms Amos is in Saudi Arabia broadcasting for National Public Radio. Her parents attended the BZA hearing. Mr. Reynolds said his client wasn’t objecting to having the Lees construct a family apartment, but felt that See BZA, p. A-7 Basic '911' service to 987 exchange still on hold By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer County Administrator John McCarthy reported to the Board of Supervisors on progress in moving toward “Emergency 911” telephone service at their monthly meeting Monday. He said that telephone bills will start showing the two dollar surcharge that will support the service in November and that the county treasurer should start receiving funds in January. Mr. McCarthy reported also that residents with 675 exchanges now have basic 911, provided at no cost by the Centel Company. This means that those with the 675 exchanges will automatically have their calls sent to the Sheriffs Depart ment dispatch center when they dial 911. He said, however, that his efforts to get the C & P Telephone Company to provide such service for those with 987 exchanges had not been successful. There are about 900 telephones in the 987 exchange and all but 79 of them are in Rappahannock County, Mr. McCarthy explained. However when someone on a 987 exchange dials 911, the call goes to the Culpeper County dispatch office, thus delaying a response. Culpeper County and Rappahannock County had reached an agreement during the summer for all 987 calls to be routed to Rappahannock, then switched to CulSee E-911, p. A-8 Slaughter, Smith blast budget deal By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After weeks of disagreement on virtually every issue, Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. and challenger David M. Smith both criticized the budget compromise reached last weekend by President^ George Bush and Congressional negotiators. Although Rep. Slaughter said he will “withhold final judgement” on the proposal until he has reviewed it completely, he expressed his “grave and deep concerns” in a statement released Tuesday afternoon. The Republican Congressman, who is seeking his fourth term, said his particular concerns are the proposed tax increases included in the proposal, as well as increased premiums for Medicare subscribers. “I have even greater concerns about the effects this package will have on the 33 million elderly who receive Medicare benefits.” The budget compromise, agreed upon on the eve of the mandatory Gramm-Rudman across-the-board cuts, includes a one percent rise in the top income tax rate, a 12 cent per gallon gasoline tax to be phased in over the next nine months, a 100 percent increase in beer taxes, and a hike in both the monthly Medicare premiums and the deductible paid by the subscriber, from $75 to $150. “This package,” said Democratic nominee Smith, “is the result of a strong-arm process to maneuver Members of Congress into a no-win situation.

Log cabin featured on House Tour The 34th Annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale, sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bi'bmfield Parish, will be held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 20 and 21. The three houses slated for this year’s tour will be open from 11 a. m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Headquarters for the event will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in historic Washington. The Parish Hall will also serve as sales room for hundreds of arrangements of dried flowers prepared by ladies of Trinity Church and others in the community. The first of these houses is the home of Herman and Carol Beard on Route 622 in Harris Hollow. In 1986 the Beards, then living in Fairfax, bought a log cabin in Harris Hollow as a weekend retreat. As is ,, often the case in Rappahannock, it , has become their permanent home. The property is on a branch of r.i the Rush River, 2.8 miles north of Washington on Route 622, backed on , the foot of Jenkins Mountain with a lovely view across fields and river to The Peak. The log house of two rooms on the lower floor and two above was built about 1800 and then called Riverside. „ With the Beards’ decision to make this their permanent home '♦ came the realization that four rooms would be a bit confining. This was also the case with the Keysers who lived here in the 1860’s and 70’s with nine children, six of whom were bom " here. The Beards found another log house of two rooms below and one above, possibly built about 1740, on the DeBergh property approximately one mile away. This the Beards dismantled, walls, floors, stone foundations, fireplaces and all and moved to their Photo courtesy Sean Kilpatrick IN HARRIS HOLLOW, the log home of Herman and Carol Beard will be featured on this year’s house tour. property where it was reassembled next to the existing house. The two are now joined by a large eat-in kitchen running the width of the residence. On the north of this are a dining room and a sitting room, on the south, the transplanted house, with a living room with 12 inch by 18 foot logs and a large cook-in fireplace. Upstairs are cheerful bedrooms and in the bath an antique claw-footed bathtub with wooden rim and brass fittings, naturally, completely operational. The lovely kitchen is not the only modem touch. The addition has been enlarged to include a bedroom and bath, both with skylights, the latter boasting a large jacuzzi.

From left are Jessica Lawyer, Jill Waters, Cheryl Pickel, Jamie Lafollette, Julie Atkins and Amanda Brown. Girl Scout project benefits servicemen By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County’s Girl Scouts are supporting our servicemen and women in the Persian Gulf through a community project organized by Troop 547. The troop has joined with “Operation Something From Home,” headquartered in Manassas, and plans to begin collecting items to be sent to the troops in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Middle East. According to adult leader Ann Simmons, the project started when she saw a news item about Jean Heard of Manassas, who is organizing the effort in this area. She approached Girl Scout leader Sarah Brown with the suggestion that the Scouts become involved, and it took off from there. On Monday, the Scouts were busy making posters to publicize the effort. Boxes will be placed in the high school and elementary school, as well as at Washington Baptist Church and Mountain Starter and Alternator, Mrs. Simmons’ business on the Fodderstack Road. The items donated will be collected each week and delivered by Mrs. Simmons to the Heard’s warehouse in Manassas.From there, the donations will be shipped to the military units serving in the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Desert Shield. According to a letter sent by Mrs. Heard to the Scouts, “every serviceperson should know that their country is behind them in their efforts. World peace is vital for the future existence of us all, and as Americans we share the responsibility to see that our children can continue to grow up in a free world.” Operation Something From Home is a nationwide effort, and the Heard’s involvement has expahded from storing donated supplies in their home to a large warehouse. The effort has received permission to ship 77 pounds of supplies on each flight from the United States to Saudi Arabia. The list of permissible items is long and varied, including paperback books, blank audio cassettes, razors (in short supply), and some types of non-perishable foods. Residents interested in donating specific items should contact Mrs. Simmons C6753064) or Mrs. Brown (675-3624) to make sure those items may be shipped In addition to the collection boxes for individual donations, the Girl Scouts will also be soliciting county merchants for donations in the coming weeks, the leaders said. For the Girl Scouts, the benefit is two-fold. They will earn community service merit badges for their participation in the project. And, they also gain the satisfaction of knowing they have contributed to the happiness of soldiers on duty far from home.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. The Audit Bureau ■ ' : Budget balance? We must agree with our Congressional candidates — both incumbent Republican D. French Slaughter Jr. and Democratic challenger David Smith, that the budget compromise reached last weekend by the Administration and Congressional negotiators leaves a lot to be desired. First, there’s the question of whether tax increases are a good idea — never mind justified — as the nation reels on the brink of a recession. And the tax increases proposed are regressive. They will hit people on the bottom end of the income scale much harder than those more affluent. Why are motorists being penalized with an additional gasoline tax; especially at a time when oil prices are on the rise, and no one really knows when or where the increase will top out? Yes, the United States does enjoy some of the cheapest energy prices in the world, but if prices must rise let it be done systematically, to give people time to adjust — rather than as a last-ditch effort for political compromise. The Medicare premium and deductible increases are much the same story. They will affect the poorest Americans, those least likely to be able to absorb another increase in health costs. Wealthy people don’t depend on Medicare and Medicaid, but those less fortunate often scrape to meet the costs as it is. To ask those people to pay yet more seems unfair. > The Congress and the President have compromised to reach an agreement to save the Federal government from two less palatable alternatives: the across-the-board sequestration mandated by the Gramm-Rudman law, and the spectre of more than a million Federal workers on furlough because the government ran out of money. The latter possibility was avoided when the Congress approved yet another continuing resolution to keep the government running until the budget is approved. But in its rush to put the budget responsibility behind it, we hope the Congress will take a hard look at the compromise agreement. We think that America’s political leadership could do better.

French Slaughter Jr. by a liberal organization made him all the more suitable for reelection. If Lee Bird had agreed with my statement I would have had to go back to the drawing board and restate the whole thing. His opponent’s lack of any kind of qualifications solidifies the support for Rep. Slaughter. JESSE POND Sperryville Hiding on Capitol Hill? To the editor: For the past six weeks, I have received several pieces of mail from Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter (paid for with taxpayers money). In it, he extols his virtues as our representative in Washington. Instead of sending out this literature, why is he not willing to come out and face the people directly and engage in a debate with David Smith, the challenger. Maybe I have the answers as to why he is hiding up on Capitol Hill (at taxpayers expense). As a public forum, I would like to hear him answer a few questions. 1) Mr. Slaughters How do you envision a balanced budget, you voted for such an amendment? Are you going to cut Social Security, are you willing to cut aid to education or are you suggesting we default on the interest payment on the national debt (Reagan legacy)? You surely don’t want to cut defense spending since last week you voted to increase spending for “Star Wars” (SDI) and voted against the trimmed down Defense Budget bill? How are you going to pay for the S & L cleanup? Tell us how you will balance the budget, I want to read your lips. 2) How about answering a question about the environment. You have the worst record of the Virginia delegation. Where were you when Avtex polluted the Shenandoah River, you were nowhere to be seen. 3) How about abortion? Prior to Roe vs. Wade, I saw numerous young women in my medical practice that had incomplete septic abortions brought on by back alley butchers. Would you like to answer what a woman should do if she is raped or is a victim of incest with a resulting pregnancy? You as a supposed conservative want the government to intrude on the most private of decisions a woman has to make. It is obvious you are not willing to answer these questions in a public forum. The voters ought to give you the answer in November by voting for David Smith. WERNER KREBSER, MD Huntly Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper.

To the editor: “The fact that we destroy somewhere between 13 and 15 million dogs and cats (including a very high percentage of puppies and kittens) each year for the want of proper homes is a nightmare that we should never have learned to live with, but we have. All it takes to avoid that ongoing calaynity is spaying and neutering, but Americans just aren’t doing it.”— (Roger A. Caras, “A Cat is Watching,” Simon and Schuster, NY, 1980). This failure to neuter companion animals creates a serious problem to all Animal Welfare Leagues in the land, as the numbers of unwanted pets seem to grow endlessly. The Rappahannock Animal Welfare League is committed to save abandoned, neglected and abused animals and find good homes for them, but it is increasingly difficult to keep abreast of the tide. Moreover it is heartbreaking to find dogs and cats “dumped” on the side of the road, on a porch or at a landfill site; some starving, some so young their eyes aren’t even open yet, others so sick they have to be put to sleep. It is urgent to convince people to help by neutering their pets. Another thing has to be done: every pet should wear an identification tag. Dog Warden Ray Pullen advises the owners to add their Social Security number. (Dogs which bear a tattoo are identified by their owner’s Social Security number.) It is better than a telephone number because it never changes. With this number, through a computer, the pet can be returned in no time. As the maximum stay in the pound is five days, after which the animal is put down, time is of the essence! When the county’s new animal shelter is open, we will make sure everyone knows all there is to know about it, and in what way residents can help. We should remember that companion animals are here because we have let them be here. Our responsibility cannot be evaded and we should always protect them from neglect and cruelty. FRANCINE D. NADLER RAWL Washington More debate on issues To the editor: In the past several weeks, there has been a discussion of several domestic political issues in your letters column. I would like to comment further on some of these issues. While the budget deficit is the result of many factors, the principal cause was the Reagan tax cuts, which won broad support in the Congress on both sides of the aisle. It now appears that they were improvident, especially when coupled with substantial increases in defense spending. Defense spending had been at a level of about $100 billion a year under Mr. Carter in 1979 and 1980, but that figure was threbled in the eighties. For most of the eighties, defense expenditures remained at a level just under $300 billion, adding about 200 billion to the national budget each year. During the same years, Social Security and related health entitlements rose .until, in 1988, the estimated outlays for these purposes totaled $308.2 billion. However, during the same year, the estimated receipts from taxes levied especially for the Trust Funds concerned totaled $360.0 billion. Likewise, in all the years since 1980, these Trust Funds receipts have substantially exceeded outlays. (Statistical Abstract of hte U.S., 1989, U.S. Dept, of Commerce.) On these facts, it appears that these entitlements not only paid their way, but also helped finance defense and other governmental expenditures. And in any case, they did not add to the deficit; rather, they have been used to mask and reduce it. It is now estimated that the S & L crisis will cost the taxpayers $500 billion. Was this the result of deregulation or a failure to eliminate federal deposit insurance? The Reagan administration pushed strongly for deregulation, but never asked Congress to modify the deposit insurance, which has been in effect since the Great Depression and has overwhelming popular support. Had there been no deregulation, the staggering S & L losses that we face today would not have occurred. Since elimination of the deposit insurance would have been impossible politically, it would appear that deregulation was the operative cause of the S & L crisis. It has been said that one of the functions of government is to establish the wise restraints that make men free. This paradox is applicable to the S & L case. In short, the S & L managers needed the wise restraints that had been imposed by the regulators prior to deregulation. Once such free enterprisers have all reasonable restraints removed, they See LETTERS, p. A-5

Our democracy is in crisis By JOHN R. CARTER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer No matter how much we try to ignore it or close our eyes to it, the fact is that the people have lost faith in their government’s ability to govern and, worse, in their own ability to do anything about it. This November, in what is called an ‘off-year’ election, as few as 35 percent of the eligible voters will actually vote. Dozens of races for the House of Representatives, designed by the Framers of the Constitution to be the primary voice of the people, will go un-contested. The prestigious position of Senator from the State of Virginia will go un-challenged. We face, in truth, a crisis of democracy. The voice of the dissenter, the 65 percent of registered voters, is no longer being heard. And the experts can do little more than prate about the apathy of the people. Well, I happen to think differently and that is why I am running as an independent write-in candidate to represent the Seventh District of Virginia in Congress. The question usually posed is “How in the world does an unknown, impecunious Independent candidate expect to win?.” But I submit to you that that is the wrong question. The question is “What do I hope to accomplish?” My expectations are based on my conclusions reached by considering the following facts. First, that the people are no longer given a voice in government. Letters are not truly free, but tend to drown in the quicksand for their greed and arrogance, and they make a fine mess for us, the taxpayers, to dig ourselves out of. We cannot afford to continue the neglect of our cities. The poverty, hopelessness, and despair that find expression in drugs and related violence, must be addressed. I do not know how. But we can not continue to ignore the evidence that comes in from all sides that most of our major cities are in the throes of social disintegration. Finally, there is the issue whether subsidization of the arts affects the integrity of the artist. The history of Western art, which was subsizided or commissioned from its beginnings, suggests that it does not. On the issue of artistic integrity, the source and manner of collecting funds is irrelevant. In a democracy such as ours, the government spends money for purposes agreed upon by a representative majority. Most of us disagree from time to time with some of the things our government does, but we must (sigh!) comply with the will of the majority even though, at the same time, we work overtime to change that will. At the present time, people who don’t want the government to support the arts are, happily, in the minority. As for myself, I have a Social Waters completes basic training Airman Ryan L. Waters has graduated from Air Force basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. During the six weeks of training the airman studied the Air Force mission, organization and customs and received special training in human relations.

LEE BIRD Washington Re-elect Mr. Slaughter To the editor: In Rappahannock County the fall season means cool breezes and easy conversation; inside the Beltway, it means hot air and talk of “sequestration.” Once again, Congress has failed to deal responsibly with the Federal budget. The few Congressmen who have been willing to take the deficit seriously have been drowned out by the tax-and-spend advocates. Federal workers have been repeatedly threatened with layoffs. In the end, the taxpayers will pay the price of congressional profligacy. French Slaughter is one of the few congressmen willing to do something about the government’s taxand-spend habit. He believes that cutting spending should be the first choice of the Congress in confronting the Federal deficit. He supports amending the U.S. Constitution to require a balanced budget, and he supports giving the President the veto over budget line items. He continues to oppose new taxes, recognizing that new taxes inevitably lead to new spending. Again and again, Mr. Slaughter has used his vote in Congress to protect the interests of the taxpayers. On Nov. 6, let’s use our votes to keep him in Congress. ROBERT M.

Nobody talks about whether or not government should be something, they talk about how much is to be done by government. Second, it should come as no surprise, then, that the public, having no real choice, refuses to participate in the electoral process. They have been deprived of their fundamental right in a democracy, the right “to throw the rascals out” because, under the two-party no-choice system, they would have to throw another rascal in. What I hope to accomplish, then, is to make more people aware that there is an alternative, that their voice can be heard and heeded. Thist alternative is the write-in vote, a little known, little used but poten-, tially powerful weapon available to every frustrated voter.

Of course, and it is only necessary to understand two things.

If nothing else, politicians are experts in reading the signs of the times. You don’t have to throw him out of office to get him to mend his ways. Little rudders steer big ships. The fact that so few people participate in their government is clear evidence that the day of the political party and the political candidate is coming to a close. The citizens are losing interest in who runs the Country, they are concerned with how it is run. The write-in vote will give goverment back to the people where it belongs.

The minutes of the last regular meeting, that of September 5 and those of a special meeting on the 15th were read and received approval. Among the items on the agenda to be discussed were roads, welfare, animal claims, trash, county brochure, revenue estimate from sales tax. Two Eagle Scouts from Troop 65, Sperryville, are making plans for a 23 day trip to Philmont Scout Ranch, Cimarron, New Mexico from July 6 to July 29, 1971.

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer With eyeball precision, the pitcher lines his shoe with the peg 40 yards away. Aim is detailed. The arm swings and the horseshoe swings across the pit to ping against the peg. It’s a point scored for the winning team. The ping, ping of horsehoes against peg rang across Chester Gap last Saturday morning, as the sixth annual horseshoe tournament sponsored by the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department, drew horseshoe tossers from around Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper and Warren counties. Twenty-two teams gathered to toss their shoes in the double elimination tournament, played with firehouse supplied horseshoes and pegs. Old men, young boys, practice-perfect players, champions and losers, paired up with team members to toss for the three trophies for first, second and third place, awarded at the end of the day. There were newcomers to Chester Gap, like Paul Covington and his partner Charlie Hitt, while others are faithful supporters of the department and tournament like James Shipe and Timmy Williams, the mastermind behind the games. Each in their own way supports the local fire department. Volunteer fire departments around the state annually fight high maintenance bills, rising costs in supplies and increasing costs of firefighters’ gear, as well as the time spent fighting fires or saving the life of anyone who calls in distress. Fund raising becomes an major part of the department’s maintenance. Besides a carnival, local doorto-door fund drives and other sales, the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Company holds its annual horseshoe tournament. Teams pay $15 to enter. The trophies cost nearly $100. But, a small profit can be gained. “We can raise a couple of hundred dollars and everyone can have INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sit 10 a.m. Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st Tues., 1 p.m. Every Month In addition to our regular sales on the 2"° Tuesday of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle Sale • Consignments Welcome.

Currie CAREFUL MEASUREMENT of a ‘shoe’s landing close to the peg is made by Timmy Williams at the Chester Gap VFD’s tournament last weekend. fun,” fire chief Bert Gilkey said. A couple of hundred dollars may go a long way in the average home. But supporting a fire and rescue unit takes thousands. “Right now we are getting back a unit that may cost nearly $6,000 to repair,” department member Hubert Gilkey said, adding while the county now supports each department by paying for insurances costs —costs which cover insurance on the building, vehicles and liability — maintenance for the vehicles and gear costs are high. “To outfit one firefighter costs in the neighborhood of $2,000,” he explained, adding events like Saturday’s horseshoe tournament helped with all these expenses. “We do a tournment every summer,” Hubert Gilkey said, adding this year the request for another tournment brought about the lateSeptember event and the upcoming Oct. 27 event. “If this one goes well, we may make it an annual event.” Success is only one word to describe the afternoon of horseshoe tossing. “It’s a lot of fun,” Chief Gilkey said, adding the entire family often comes out to support their teams while single tossers often come, find a team member and make a new friend. It’s something for the whole community. And while football, soccer and baseball usually draw the attention of the avid sports fan, horseshoe tossing is still a favorite of many people. “Usually every Sunday afternoon, you can hear the ping of shoes against pegs,” Bert Gilkey said of his Chester Gap home, adding the sport is not dying, but holding its own ground. “We usually have several teams of women,” the chief said, adding his own partner is his wife, Sherry. While Saturday’s teams were all male, children of all ages roamed the grounds while mothers and grandmothers cheered their favorites. But, it wasn’t fun for everyone, though. “First one to lose has to cook hamburgers,” the chief said with a laugh, adding others usually line-up behind the team of their choice so when the final game is played, a cheering crowd has been established. “We started this tournament with just nine teams,” he said, “and today we have 22. That shows it’s still popular.” The fire chief said the team member range in age from teenage to much older. “I guess James Shipe or Bradly Pullen are our oldest players,” the chief said, indicating the man in the hole, intently sighting his shoe with the peg, before the toss. The peg greets the shoe with its usual ping; the toss is good, the point won. “It takes practice to make perfect,” tournament winner Paul Covington said. The Culpeper County resident travels all around the state, attending and winning, horseshoe tournaments. “You have got to practice nearly every day,” he said, adding usually on summer evenings he can be found, often for hours, in the horseshoe pit in his yard. “I have a special way of doing it,” he said of his winning toss. Since July Mr. Covington has won five first place awards, two second place awards and one third place awards at various tournaments around the area. “I just hold the shoe right in the middle of my hand,” he said. “Like this,” he demonstrated, holding the shiny metal horseshoe in his palm. His technique paid off. Mr. Covington and his partner walked away with the two trophies for first place. Second place was awarded to Jimmy Mahoney and Gene Airhart of Front Royal and third place went to Craig Williams of Chester Gap and James Shipe of Front Royal. But the tournament does not end there. Most of those who attended the event Saturday returned home to sharpen their throwing skills, hoping for an October win. Music in the Park C. M.

BZA Continued from page A-1 since the building was to be so far away from the existing house, it might become a separate parcel of land in spite of the fact that the zoning ordinance would not allow the land to be divided. He said that the BZA could put . conditions on the permit that would make subdivision less likely, such as requiring that the new structure be closer to the main building and share the septic system. A family apartment should be a “dependency” of the main house, he said. Douglas Baumgardner, representing the Lees, pointed out that the location had been picked to afford both generations of the Lees privacy and so both the garage and ' the apartment could be on or near i ground level. The location will allow - the building tobebuiltintoahill. Mrs. Lee pointed out that they also had to avoid putting the building or roadway over their septic field. / Mr. Baumgardner also said the location was in the woods where it would be screened from neighboring landowners. He presented the BZA members with letters from several neighbors supporting the applica' ‘ tion. Mr. Baumgardner also presented a letter from Mr. Lee’s mother stating that she intends to live in the apartment. She is currently living in a trailer park in Fairfax County that will be replaced by a shopping center. Mr. Baumgardner noted that the burden is on the applicant to show that the proposal meets all the general standards for special use or special exception permits and also the specific standards for family apartments. He went through the general standards which relate to such things as preserving the neighbors’ right to enjoy their property, traffic, health and safety. The specific stanif. dards say only that a family apartment cannot be larger than 800 square feet and may be in a separate building. The apartment must be occupied by a family member for two years, and no more than three people may occupy the apartment. Nothing in the zoning ordinance specifies how close to the main house a family apartment must be. Mr. Baumgardner said his clients would be willing to put a restriction on the deed to their property prohibiting the subdivision of their property unless the density allowed under the zoning ordinance changes. Mr. Reynolds suggested that the BZA members require the apart—* ment be located close to the main house. He said that a court might order the property to be divided, and that it would not be difficult to dig a new well and put in a separate road. He cited a case in Albemarle > County where a court had ordered that a fairly large property be di! vided in spite of the fact that it did not have enough road frontage to qualify for subdivision under Albemarle County’s zoning ordinance. “I don’t like the precedent of saying a family apartment can be anywhere on the property,” Mr. e Reynolds said. “What if it were 25 * acres?” “Are we to be governed by what 8 you like or don’t like?” BZA member « Lee Bird asked. He said he was “dis* tressed” that the ordinance had no J definition of family apartment. J Member James E. Swindler sug» gested that Mr. Reynolds take his * concerns to the Board of Supervise sors. “Your criticisms go more to the * ordinance than to the case before us, * Mr. Bird said. “We are instructed by ! the ordinance itself.” “You can impose reasonable re; strictions,” Mr. Reynolds countered. He suggested that the BZA require . the building be within 75 feet of the " main dwelling so that it could not be * divided off without violating setback «. requirements. It the court can disregard other _ zoning restrictions, why not set [ back?” member Sid Gottlieb asked. Mr. Reynolds said if the apart< ment were made more of a “depenI dency” close to the main house and ! using the same well and septic sysI tern, it would “no longer be conve; nient” for the court to order the property divided. “Convenient is hardly a quantitaive term,” Mr. Gottlieb said. “What you’re convincing me is that ; the courts can do anything they want. You’re asking us to make deci, sions fine tuning this for a case that ! hasn’t come up yet. I’m not prepared | to do that.” John Amos, Ms Amos’s father, said he had “compassion for anyone I taking care of family. I wouldn’t con! sider putting a member of my family ; back in the woods. I think a family ■ member should live reasonably close ' to the family. If it were 75 feet away, I would have no objection.” Mr. Amos said he had once had \fin option to purchase the 10 acres that includes the Lees property. ! When he didn’t exercise his option, , “within three weeks it was divided ; into two lots. Now I see another sub; division.” Tony Cutro said his driveway is ! across from the Lees. He said their ! current house has a two-car garage, and they are proposing to build an other 800 square-foot three-car garage. He said there is a risk of “environmental damage” from fluids with a five-car facility. “I see two abandoned cars in the woods and two other vehicles in states of disassembly. A five car automotive center makes people get into projects they shouldn’t get into in a residential area.” Chairman Butch Zindel asked Mr. Lee about Mr. Cutro’s concerns. Mr. Lee said he only works on cars that belong to his family and he wants to turn the two-car garage in his home into a family room. He said he might also work on construction equipment such as dump trucks and backhoes for his father-in-law, who is his employer. When the public hearing was over County Administrator John McCarthy asked if he could address the board. Earlier Mr. Reynolds said Mr. McCarthy had the “appearance of a conflict of interest” because Mrs. Lee, as secretary to the building inspector, worked in his office. He suggested that since the Lees were represented by an attorney, Mr. McCarthy “should not take part in the discussion of the matter other than to submit it to you. ” Mr. McCarthy said that to have a “conflict of interest you must have a personal and financial interest” in the matter being considered. “I have no financial interest.” “I conduct my life with every effort to be responsible,” Mr. McCarthy continued. “I argued strenuously in the Planning Commission against his (Mr. Reynolds’s) agruments. The Board of Zoning Appeals would stray precariously” if it required the house be moved closer. “The family subdivision and family apartment provisions were needed to maintain the moral and political support for the zoning ordinance by providing a safety valve.” Mr. McCarthy said he would support an amendment to the zoning ordinance to require a family apartment be closer to the main house but felt it would be wrong for the BZA to impose such a requirement for this application. After Mr. Bird’s motion the BZA ap proved the application. MARTIN FURNITURE CELEBRATES Bassett's Coast-to-Coast SStli Anniversary! Every Living Room Reduced! Every Sofa Reduced!

E-911 Continued from page A-1 peper if the call came from one of those telephones. However, the agreement hinged on C & P implementing the changeover. Mr. McCarthy said the representatives of C & P reported that they would charge several hundred dollars to make the switchover so the calls would come into the Rappahannock dispatch center and also charge the county $160 per month to rent two additional trunk lines to bring the calls into Washington. Mr. McCarthy said that when he pointed out that the county is already paying to rent two trunk lines to bring calls to the SherifFs Office, the C & P representatives said the county would still have to rent two more. Mr. Massie said, “Over the years Centel has gotten a bad rap. I’d like to publicly thank Centel because 911 is free for 675 numbers. I think C & P ought to do something about the people with 937 numbers who are not able to call county offices toll free.” me people l ve dealt with at (J & P are not amenable to logic,” Mr. McCarthy said. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke suggested the supervisors contact the State Corporation Commission to complain about C & P’s position. “If there is a letter on file, you may get some response back,” he said. Mr. McCarthy reported that Centel is prepared to move ahead with the enhanced 911 service even though money to pay for it won’t start accumulating until the beginning of next year. “They are willing to accept payment over a long period of time,” he said. Mr. Massie wondered if the county could get involved in taking on such a debt. “You’d be borrowing money from the telephone company,” he said. Mr. Luke said the supervisors “can do some things in anticipation of revenue, but I don’t know if it covers that.” “I don’t like the idea of borrowing the money,” Mr. Massie said. Mr. Anderson asked who is going to name all the roads. All the county roads have to have names for the “E911” system, and every house in the county will be assigned a street number. Mr. McCarthy said the fire departments would take on the job of naming the roads in their service areas and bring their recommendations to the Planning Commission. Mr. Anderson suggested that the committees get some of the older native people to participate so they will know of the traditional names for the roads. s Deen our iaea an along 10 retain as many of the old names as possible,” Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey said. He added that the supervisors would have the final responsibility for the road names. Mr. McCarthy said he would have a proposal for the supervisors at the November meeting that would call for E911 being established sometime after February 1992. Apple Continued from page A-1 Two bands will perform Thursday evening on the carnival grounds beside the fire hall on U.S. 211 just west of town. On Friday night there will be live entertainment again, along with the rides, games and food which are the ever-present accompaniments to a carnival. 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. Ihe town s Mam street will be closed to motor traffic between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. both days. There is ample free parking at the Emporium and at the Sperryville Antique Market, as well as several other designated locations, though parking along roadways is not recomended. Visitors looking for participatory activities might start the day early with apple picking in Gid Brown Hollow. Rocklands Orchards, on Route 614 just off Route 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. 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. Sperryville’s Apple Harvest 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 Route 651, his shop offers designs in many styles and periods.

Admission tickets are $7 per person to dance to music from the Ws, 70’s and 80’s. Budget Continued from page A-1 step salary increases built into the scale without any increase in the salary scale itself. Another increase of $15,000 will go toward the purchase of two school buses instead of the bus with lift that is being purchased this year. And, an additional $25,000 will be needed to replace the roof over the auditorium, Dr. Gangel told the supervisors. These increased costs combined with an expected cutback of five percent in state aid for next year could amount to more than $200,000, he One cost Dr. Gangel hoped to be able to pick up this year is for the underground storage tank. He showed the supervisors an article on enclosing such a tank in an underground concrete vault. He said this gives an “advantage of both worlds,” since such a facility is treated as above ground for insurance against leaks but as below ground for rating for fire risks. He said he would not know until later in the budget year whether it will be possible to build such a vault for the tank this year because the budget is already under pressure because of increases in fuel costs and because of unanticipated demands for special education. They also voted to increase the authorization for this year’s budget by $113,656. This allows the school system to spend funds that have been received that were not in the budget.

Sovrcf 'HUebook Published Jointly By: Donnelley Directory BJ tuntfum ui 0* Dun* Mi jtklivt-KiMpu* Mtm\ ctNTtL omccronv company A Subsidiary of Cantal Corporation Dr. Gangel also brought to the supervisors meeting representatives from Lord Fairfax Community College to answer questions the supervisors had raised about why some Rappahannock students are apparently having trouble getting credits from LFCC accepted when they try to transfer them to four-year schools. Dean of Instruction David Perkins told the supervisors that the problem arose because four-year schools were formerly only willing to accept credits if they matched up one-for-one with courses they also offered. Four of Virginia’s four-year colleges and universities are now willing to accept all of a student’s coursework as meeting the general education requirements for the first two years if they receive an associate degree. James Madison University was the first four-year-school to adopt such a policy, he said. George Mason University, Longwood College and Old Dominion University have also agreed to treat transfer students from community colleges the same way. When the supervisors moved to the part of their agenda that offers the public to bring in their concerns Ray Garland, pastor of the Assembly of God church in Sperryville, said that the church is looking for a new location. The supervisors urged Rev. Garland to meet with representatives of the highway department to see if he could meet requirements for the entrance. In other action Monday, the Board of Supervisors: • voted to publish a list of delinquent taxpayers. • learned that construction on the first section of the four-lane of U.S. 211 from just outside Washington to Route 622 is scheduled to be advertised for bids in January of 1991 and the section from 622 to outside Sperryville is scheduled to be advertised in March 1991. • rezoned property behind Settles’ Garage in Flint Hill from village residential to village commercial. Deficit Continued from page A-1 minute is simply unacceptable, and the voters know it.” Along with Rep. Slaughter, Mr. Smith singled out the Medicare changes for particular criticism. “It is wrong to ask the elderly to pay a disproportionate burden of balancing the federal deficit. These people have worked all of their lives, paid their taxes, and ask for little in return. What kind of a statement is that, to change the rules after they have retired? We can do better. “It is unconscionable that 33 million elderly and disabled persons would be subject to the largest cut of all,” he added. Mr. Smith also had harsh words for the gas tax increase, calling it yet another gouging of consumers —this time by the U.S. Congress. “I do not think it is fair to ask the American consumer to pay another 12 cents a gallon for gasoline to drive to work when the oil companies are going to be given $4 billion in tax credits for increased production. “This is business as usual in Washington,” Mr. Smith added. “Instead of addressing the critical need for a national energy policy, Congress has instead ignored consumers and cut a deal with the oil companies.” Both candidates also criticized the spectre of Federal workers facing layoffs if the compromise had not been reached. “You either vote for a package that is seriously flawed, or watch one million federal employees line up at the unemployment offices,” Mr. Smith said. “Is that the best that the leadership in Washington can do?” Mr. Slaughter said, in a statement released on Monday, that he voted in favor of the continuing resolution which kept the government from shutting down at midnight, Oct. 1 because of his concern for those federal employees. “More than one million Federal workers were unfairly held in suspense during budget negotiations, and now, they are spared from forced furloughs. I voted for this continuing resolution because I did not support undue burdens being placed on Federal employees.” But, Mr. Slaughter added, “Generally, I am opposed to continuing resolutions because they are used to abuse a weak budget process that must be reformed. Mostly, continuing resolutions are proof of Congress’s failure to do its number one job, pass a budget.” Rep. Slaughter met with President Bush on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the budget package. “At this meeting,” the Congressman said, “I plan to present my concerns, and the President will, I am sure, outline his. I believe it is appropriate to withhold final judgement on the proposed agreement until the President and I have had the opportunity to present our arguments and concerns to each other.” At press time Wednesday morning, Congressman Slaughter’s office had not yet released a Statement about his meeting with President Bush. /

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Many adult residents of Rappahannock County cannot read this article. They may look at the photographs and recognize the faces. They may recognize artwork and other images in the pages before and after. The words they can not, or can barely, decipher. Many adults in Rappahannock County are functionally illiterate - meaning not reading or reading with limited ability. Literacy Volunteers of America - Rappahannock (LVA), a group of 28 local citizens, many past school teachers, many just concerned citizens, can help. The volunteers can help adults learn to read, free of charge, under strict confidentiality regulations. The tutors are willing. The students must come forward. “The problem that besets us is that adults who cannot read are rather shy,” said literacy volunteer and LVA board member Lee Bird, adding those with the problem may funtion to a degree in our society, concealing their literacy problem from friends and often family members. It’s not a problem of the destitute or underprivilaged. In recent years, people from all walks of life have come forward, admitting to their problem and receiving help - people like teachers, military servicemen, truck drivers, mothers, fathers and grandparents. But the embarrassment of admitting to being illiterate still turns many away from help. “This is why we have strict confidentiality controls,” Mr. Bird said of the group, offering no names or home locations of the persons involved. He added the desire to read the Bible or for job improvement are main incentives for people coming forward. Learning to read offers more than just the above. Being able to read and write opens doors which once were closed. Opinions can be stated, read, objected to; places can be visited which were once off limits; foods which were once just desires can be bought, ordered or paid for; books can be opened, enjoyed and treasured. Friends can remain together through correspondence. All in all, reading has many advantages. Literacy tutors can help make all of that happen. Willingness and time is all the tutors ask. The reading program offered by the literacy tutors in Rappahannock follows the guidelines established by Literacy Volunteers of America, a nationally supported group headquartered in Syracuse, New York. Affiliation with the group provides Rappahannock tutors with books and other written material, methods for teaching and tutoring, group standards and a tax-exempt status. The reading program uses several techniques, including phonics and whole language methods. “The progam is free to anyone who needs us,” Mr. Bird said, adding presently the group has 12 tutors and only two students. The group hopes to change this. “We want to reach out and get community support as much as possible,” Mr. Bird said. “We have links to several groups in the community,” Mr. Bird said, adding through these links the group hopes to reach those who have the need. Working with the Child Care and Learning Center, (CCLC), the tutors hope to gain access to parents of children who may need reading assistance. “Some of the children do not speak English as a native language,” Mr. Bird said, adding with all probability their parents do not read or write English. Using Susan Fox, the drop-out prevention coordinator in the county’s public schools and a board member of the literacy volunteers, the group hopes to become acquainted with local parents who may need reading help. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan LITERACY VOLUNTEERS and their pupils gather at the county library each Monday evening to study. With the Rappahannock County Library offering assistance, the literacy program can develop even further. Mr. Bird said one vital community link is with the library, as library officals have offered space in the new library basement which will serve as both classroom and office space for the developing literacy group. “With library assistance we will take a great leap forward,” Mr. Bird said, adding General Educational Development (GED) testing and reading lessons will be conducted there. With pending office space and suitable study areas for students, the program is ready to receive students. One method to recuit students is through the upcoming Region Six Literacy Coordinating Committee (RELIC) meeting on Nov. 6 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. Literacy volunteers hope to create even a broader circle as civic and elected officals of various offices come together from noon to 5 p.m. ‘The object is to get-people to refer us to students, to get names of those with need, maybe to offer assistance with remedial work, to talk about where the need is, where it exists, and what we, or other agencies, can do to help,” Mr. Bird said of the group’s plans. Their meeting Saturday morning in Washington, where the LVA Rappahannock Chapter was formally organized, charter members were signed, a nine member board elected, was highlighted by guest speaker Dr. David Gangel, the superintendent of Rappahannock County’s schools. “He first spoke on the Japanesse attitude toward quality production and zero defects,” Mr. Bird said of the speech, addressing the need for literacy in the community. “He said our schools should produce such quality with no failures and no rejects. Children should be educated to the best of their mental and physical ability, be yond the stage of functioning literate. ” Mr. Bird went on to paraphrase Dr. Gangel’s speech, adding with each student drop-out the county pays the price, saying the price “is cumulative.” He said Dr. Gangel explained that “by the third grade, a potential drop-out can be spotted by tardiness, absence and attitude. Early intervention is important.” Dr. Gangel reported that with “reading on a one-toone basis, 70 percent of the students will remain on grade level.” Gangel concluded his speech with satistics on Rappahannock County High School drop-out rates, saying most occur between 17 and 18 years of age. In 1988-89, Rappahannock County High School saw 18 drop-outs, or 4.1 percent of the student body. Using new techniques and working with drop-out prevention coordinator Susan Fox, the figure fell to 1.4% of the same body or six drop-outs in the 1989-90 year. “They are working for a zero percent,” Mr. Bird said, adding that by working with the schools the group becomes acquainted with parents who may not be able to read, or who may have problems reading. “We’re here to help the adults,” Mr. Bird said. The nine member board includes Ethel Bailey, Lee Bird, Doris Fowler, Susan Fox, John Hartline, Marion Simpson, Grace Sims, Betty Webb and Libby Whetzel. For information about the group or for assistance, contact any of those listed above. The literacy volunteers hold weekly tutoring sessions at the Rappahannock County Library each Monday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. All residents are welcome and invited to attend. There is no charge for any of the serv-, ices prcnnded by the Literacy Volunteers of America — . Rappahannock. Amissville celebrates 180th birthday with craft fair By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Amissville celebrated its 180th birthday this year, and someone noticed. Crafters, musicians, antique car owners, elected officals, pet farm owners and local businesses supported the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department’s Craft Show, held last Saturday and Sunday on the firehouse grounds in Amissville. Co-chairman of the event, Cathy Smith, said the sponsors estimated 2,500 spectators attended both afternoons, helping to make the event successful. More than 40 crafters came to help celebrate the event offering everything from home-ground and baked bread to ceramic dolls, stuffed animals and Christmas ornaments. The company’s auxiliary provided food and drink. “It went real well,” Mrs. Smith said, adding the department has started an event “that is for the whole family — pet farms for the kids, sportsman’s attractions for the dads and crafts and things for the mothers.” “This has been a very rewarding experience for everyone,” Mrs. Smith said. Working with co-chairman and fellow Amissville resident Ginny Pierson, Mrs. Smith said the goal of the event was to get “all service groups in the community to work more closely together. We wanted to get the entire community involved.” Community support is somthing the department was given for the fall event. While the department used the event as a fundraiser to help the fire company, the Ruritans held a stand selling barbecue and the athletic association sponsored a booth. “We wanted to get everyone involved,” Mrs. Smith said of their work. The program was planned nearly six months ago and working with her chairman, Mrs. Pierson, the two began their search for participants and donations. Gift certificates for several local res Mmsmm Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan AT THE PETTING ZOO, Joshua Hitt seems unsure about how to approach Tom Turkey. taurants - Bleu Rock, Schoolhouse, Lombardy’s, Western Sizzlin’ - were given away. Entertainment from various rock, country and gospel groups was contributed. Wilson’s Pet Farm from Winchester and the Wonderful World of Miniature Horses in Madison attended with free of charge entrance to their petting rinks. “We wanted everything to be free of charge so the whole family could attend,” Mrs. Smith said of the event. Highlighting Saturday afternoon was the visit by Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. “He presented the awards for the antique car winners,” Mrs. Smith said, nam- . ing the winners as Bobby Lewis from ' Rixeyville, people’s choice award; K.C. Roberts from Rhoda, oldest model; and Ken Roberts of Rhoda for longest distances traveled. Sunday afternoon car show winners were presented by Amissville Volunteer Fire Department President David Sheffield. The People’s Choice Award was given to Richard Compton of Amissville, Dr. Arthur Gower of Manassas was given the award for the oldest car and the award * for the longest distances traveled was given to Thomas Pyne of Lignum. “The award plaques were designed , by Amissville resident Richard Pierson,” „ Mrs. Smith said, adding they were crafted by Award Crafters of Fairfax and donated to the fire department, free of charge. Various other items - such as Appenglow beverages, hand-painted goose egg decorations, and other items - were given away. “We wanted to use everything we could,” Mrs. Smith said of the items given away. “This is something that we can build on each year,” she added, making the event larger and more varied as community involvement grows.

CMH offers AIDS forum “Culpeper is not immune from AIDS. It is happening here and will be on the increase in our community,” said Dr. Harold Markham, chairman of infection control at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. In recognition of National Infection Control Week, Oct. 14-20, a free program on AIDS will be held Monday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. The forum will be presented by Dr. Michael F. Rein, professor of medicine (infectious disease) at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Board certified in three specialities, Dr. Rein received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 1969. He is the author of more than 100 articles dealing with AIDS and other infectious diseases and has received numerous appointments, honors, and consultative appointments in the medical field. “AIDS is no longer a disease associated with just IV drug users and homosexuals,” said Dr. Markham. Revival at Forest Grove The Forest Grove Baptist Church of Viewtown will be holding its annual revival services Oct. 7-10, at 7:30 p.m. The speaker for this year’s revival at Forest Grove is the Rev. J. Harold Eaton, Sr. who is pastor of the Slate Mills Baptist Church. Rev. Eaton is a native of Locusville, Kentucky. He has pastored in Virginia Baptist churches for 44 years, 23 of them in churches of the Shiloh Baptist Association. From 1946 to 1949, he pastored in Madison County. In 1970, he returned to the Shiloh Association, accepting a call to pastor the Novum and Slate Mills Baptist Churches. Since 1985, he has been serving as the pastor at Slate Mills Baptist Church. Rev. Eaton received his education at Georgetown College, Georgetown, Kentucky and at the Gocethom Baptist Theological Seminary in Locusville. While in school, he held student pastoral and also served as a home missionary with the Kentucky Baptist Convention. Rev. Eaton and his wife, Clareece, currently make their home in Culpeper. They have two sons and a daughter, and also three grandchildren. The Forest Grove Baptist Church invites all the members and friends to attend its 1990 revival services and to hear the message. The heterosexual group is the fastest increasing group. Teenage and college age students are the most rapidly growing group. “Young people are the population at greater risk because of their ‘casual’ attitude regarding AIDS,” said Dr. Markham. “We hope teachers and parents will encourage their students and children to attend.” Statistics regarding this age group are misleading due to the fact that the disease does not turn up for five to 10 years after first contact. By the year 2000, AIDS will be one of the leading causes of death in children under 15. As of September, 1990, eight AIDS cases had been reported in Culpeper residents. “Small communities will see more of this disease in their hospitals, as larger hospitals are sending many AIDS patients back to their homes,” said Helen Holt, CMH infection control coordinator. In addition, many cases have been seen in people passing through Culpeper. In response to the AIDS threat, Culpeper Memorial Hospital takes all precautions necessary to protect its patients and employees. “CMH’s policy of universal precautions requires hospital employees to follow blood and body-fluid precautions for all patients, no matter what their diagnosis. This helps to guard employees from potential contact with AIDS and other blood-bom diseases,” said Ms. Holt. To attend the free AIDS program on Oct. 15, or for more information, please contact CMH community relations department at (703) 829-4307 or from Orange, (703) 672-4322.

Most of Europe's population believed the world to be flat. Dangerous monsters and hideous creatures were said to lie in wait in unexplored seas and foreign lands. Yet one brave man, Christopher Columbus, had faith that he could conquer those fearful challenges and reach the West Indies. After six years of waiting, he convinced Queen Isabella of Spain to finance his expedition, and following two difficult months of seas, although he did not reach the Indies, he discovered the land which would later be known as America. It must have taken tremendous courage and faith for Columbus to remain true to his dream in spite of fear and discouragement. As in Columbus' time, we may find it difficult to remain true to ourconvictions in the face of disappointment and temptations. Yet, let us remember, as we celebrate Columbus Day, the importance of the impact of one man's faith. As we worship this week, may we pray for strength and guidance as we encounter unforeseen challenges in our lives. Scriptures Selected by The Ameren Bible Society Copyright 1990.

A favorite autumn drink — cider By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics I’m sure you’ve noticed the roadside stands in Rappahannock County the past few weeks loaded with baskets of apples for sale. Not all of the apple harvest is eaten fresh. About 60 percent of the annual Virginia apple crop goes into the manufacture of applesauce, apple juice, canned sliced apples, apple jelly, apple butter, apple rings and cider. The most common question about processed apples that we get asked at the Extension Office is “What’s the difference between apple juice and apple cider?” Here’s the best way to distinguish the two products until a federal definition is established. Apple juice and apple cider are both the pressed juice of one or more varieties of apples. It is how the juice is treated after pressing that determines which is apple juice and which is apple cider. Apple juice is a product that is usually pasteurized and packed in vacuum sealed containers. Some processors remove only the heavy apple pulp in the liquid, resulting in a cloudy juice; most use a clarifying process to make a clear product. This pasteurized product may also be labeled “apple cider” or “sweet cider.” Cider is available in two forms — sweet cider and hard cider. Sweet cider is freshly pressed apple juice which has not been pasteurized and may or may not be filtered. It may have benzoate of soda added to it to slow the fermentation process and is usually available only during the harvest season at orchards, roadside stands and farmer’s markets. Hard cider is apple cider that has started or completed fermentation. It has a low alcohol content and is no longer effervescent. Most often, apple juice and apple cider do not have sugar added. They get their sweet flavor from the sugar that naturally occurs in fresh apples. If sugar is added to the product, it must be stated on the label. Apple cider and apple juice certainly taste the best when used as beverages. They can also be used to flavor foods. The following recipes use apple cider or apple juice. Try them for your family this fall.

Property owners should consider flood insurance WASHINGTON, D.C. — Many residents of areas subject to hurricanes often overlook an important part of being prepared: adequate property insurance. Officials of the Federal Insurance Administration point out that while most homeowners’ insurance policies provide coverage for damage from wind, they do not cover the serious damage caused by flooding that usually accompanies hurricanes. According to FIA, residents of both coastal areas and inland communities should consider their need for flood insurance protection, especially now that the 1990 hurricane season is underway. Along the coast, flood waters are caused by tremendous storm surges which bring ocean waves that rise 20 Offering ESTATES and FARMS in Rappahannock County and throughout Virginia Frank IIardy. Inc.. Realtors FARM AND ESTATE BROKERS INTERNATIONAL Middleburg, Virginia (703) 687-3333 feet or more above normal sea level. While the hurricane-force winds die down as the storm moves over land, the vast quantities of water within the system can cause major flooding well inland from the coast. Last September, Hurricane Hugo ripped through the islands of the northeastern Caribbean before making its final landfall on the coast of South Carolina. With total damage estimates as high as $10 billion and a death toll of 49 people, Hugo was the most costly hurricane in history. Residents of South Carolina’s coastal areas returned to scenes of unimagined devastation after Hugo’s landfall. However, hurricane damage was not confined to the coast.

The city of Charlotte, North Carolina sustained an estimated $366 million in property damage. The National Flood Insurance Program was created by Congress to provide previously unavailable flood protection for property owners. Overseen by FIA, a part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the NFIP offers flood damage protection in nearly 18,000 communities throughout the United States that have adopted and enforce floodplain management ordinances. As of March 1990, the NFIP has paid out over $300 million to settle flood claims resulting from Hurricane Hugo. There is normally a five-day waiting period before flood insurance policies become effective, so they must be purchased before storm warnings are issued. While an insurance agent can provide the most specific information to local situations, NFIP does have a toll free number for further assistance. The number is (800) 638-6620 and the hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time. --- October almanac October!

Celebrate Columbus Day the 8th for the last long weekend of the year. Remember to fall back on Sunday, the 28th by setting the clocks back one hour, not forward as we did last April, thus regaining the hour we lost then. With the first killing frost predicted for the 11th get the garden bedded down in anticipation and protect late crops. Now is also a good time to clean up any debris, adding organic matter to the compost pile. Check garden tools and equipment, removing dirt and rust before applying light film of oil. Beware of hobgoblins at month’s end and be careful of the little one’s safety as they go trick or treatin’. Check the goodies they collect before allowing them to enjoy them.
