Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan THE PUMPKIN MAN, along with assorted ghosts and goblins, awaits Halloween visitors on a lonely country road. Hay rides, test top Halloween events By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The leaves are rapidly changing to their autumn hues. The winds howl down from the mountains and the jack-o-lantems smile with macabre leers from porchsteps around the county. Halloween is upon us. Traditional ghosts and goblins, joined by more contemporary Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and probably dozens of Bart Simpsons may appear upon your door step looking for treats Wednesday, Oct. 31. But, Halloween lasts more than one night — doesn’t it? — especially when it falls in mid-week. The county’s organized Halloween activities are planned for this coming weekend, Oct. 26 and 27. For those children, and parents, seeking an organized Halloween festival, Rappahannock County Elementary School’s Parent-Teacher Organization (RCES-PTO) offers the Halloween Fall Festival, Friday, Oct. 26, from 5 to 9 p.m. “This is a family event, for the entire family,” spokesperson Jeanne Berta said of the festival. Last year the school’s PTO organized a halloween sock-hop and fun house for local children. This year, the PTO follows that pattern but has added several new items. Costumes are not required but attendants and helpers will be dressed as your childrens’ most favorite Halloween characters. Dinner will be served in the cafeteria from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. and the organization encourages the entire family to See HALLOWEEN, p. A-8 Su amendments recommended Family transfer rules would be tightened By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Planning Comipission approved several amendments to the zoning ordinance and voted to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that they be adopted. The supervisors will vote on these amendments following a public hearing at their regular meeting on Nov. 5. Several of the proposed amendments apply to family subdivisions. Under this provision a parcel in existence since 1973 can be divided into as many as five lots by dividing it among family members, and the lots can be as small as two acres. % bdivisidn Since the latest ordinance was adopted the family subdivision section has already been amended once by a restriction to provide that only one such lot could be created per year. This restriction was included following a case where a parcel was divided by the hefrs to an estate and then sold. The owner of one of the lots applied for three additional lots by family subdivision, thus using up all the lots allowed on the parcel, leaving the owner of the other lot without any family subdivision rights. The latest amendments proposed would require that to qualify for family subdivision, the parcel must have been owned by the person wishing to create the additional lots for five years. Another proposal would require that the person acquiring the lot by family subdivision keep the lot for at least two years before selling it. The planners voted to add to the proposed amendment a requirement that the deed to the lot contain this restriction on resale. Another amendment would restrict the family members eligible to receive lots through the family subdivision process to children and parents of the landowner or the spouse, in the event that a division of property is reSee ZONING, p. A-8 7th District race hangs on - undecided' voters Incumbent stays in Washington By BURKE DAVIS III Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Incumbent Republican U.S. Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr.’s campaign manager predicted that a “comfortable” margin of victory will cap the first challenge to his Seventh Congressional District seat since he took office in 1984. Campaign ’90 Rep. Slaughter has remained aloof during the campaign against David Smith, son of State Del. Alson Smith of Winchester, one of the heavy hitters on Virginia’s roster of entrenched power politicians. While he has not been invisible, the congressman has repeatedly refused to debate Mr. Smith, and the two have appeared jointly only a handful of times. Interviews have occurred infrequently. Citing congressional votes, Rep. Slaughter’s aides almost always speak for their candidate in his stead. “He’s looking for credibility,” SlaughSee SLAUGHTER, p.

On an earlier visit before dawn, Dr. Gangel said the water was partially covering the guardrails. County hit with second round of rains, flooding By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Just as county residents were beginning to dry out from the torrential downpours that flooded the western end of the county on Oct. 13, yet another rainstorrh drenched the same area Monday evening and early Tuesday morning. Sperryville weather-watcher Dennis Wingfield reported his backyard rain gauge recorded a total of 3.44 inches in this latest storm, including .78 inches be fore midnight Monday and another 2.66 inches during the early morning hours Tuesday. Residents awoke to find streams and creeks running high against their banks, and several roads back into the mountain hollows around Sperryville were under water for most of the morning Tuesday. School Superintendent David Gangel was out about 4:30 a.m. driving to the See FLOOD, p. A-8 Smith says issues not addressed By BURKE DAVIS III Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Hope has given way to excitement in the camp of David Smith, as the Democratic challenger’s battle to pry Republican D. French Slaughter from the Seventh Congressional District seat draws to its hectic end. Campaign ’90 “I think we’re doing very well,” says Ellis Woodward, an aide to Smith. “We’re defining the issues. We have the incumbent on the defensive.” “The phone banks have been surprisingly consistent,” Mr. Woodward said. “We are finding a very undecided and a draw among those who have decided. I think it’s impossible to say how the undecided voters will break. We hope, of course, that they will break for David Smith.” Mr. Woodward conceded that the results of the phone bank do not constitute a scientific sampling of the Seventh District See SMITH, p.

National Forest issues hunting forecast Hunting is one of the most popular activities on the George Washington National Forest, which provides the largest amount of land open to the general public for hunting in Virginia, almost a million acres. Popular game includes deer, turkey, bear, squirrel, grouse plus waterfowl at Lake Moomaw, west of Hot Springs. The hunting forecast this year is favorable. District rangers are reporting an abundance of deer and turkey sightings. “Given good weather, we anticipate another good season,” said Gary Spiers of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. “We don't have an abundant oak mast crop, but the deer harvest should be much like last year, turkey a little better and grouse should be much like last year, turkey a little better and grouse should be improved.” “Statewide, the bear harvest should be as good as last year, but Rappahannock National Bank "Your community bank’ ’ Hours: Monday - Friday 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday evenings 5-7 Gay Street, Washington 703-675-3519 Yes!

French Slaughter Jr. of Virginia has been named a “Guardian of Small Business” by the nation’s largest small-business organization, the National Federation of Independent Business. NFIB, which has more than 500,000 members in all 50 states, including more than 11,000 in Virginia, presents the award to senators and representatives who vote favorably on key small-business issues at least 70 percent during a two-year session of Congress. Rep. Slaughter’s small-business voting record during the 101st Congress, rated on the 20 recorded votes, was 95 percent, according to the NFIB. Issues deemed crucial by NFIB’s members included cutting government spending, reducing taxes, mandating benefits, limiting federal regulations and balancing the federal budget. NFIB is a non-profit, non-partisan organization which lobbies on behalf of small firms in all state capitals and Washington, D.C. The typical company represented has five employees, is run by the ownermanager and has a gross annual income of about $250,000.

Five injured in wreck A two-car accident last Saturday afternoon left five people injured and both drivers charged with moving violations. According to Virginia State Police Trooper R.E. Keen, who investigated the accident, John Joseph Cain, 32, of Berryville, was travelling Route 729 approximately 1/4 mile south of the intersection with U.S. 522 near Flint Hill. Mr. Cain, who was driving a 1984 Oldsmobile station wagon, rounded a sharp curve and crossed the center of the roadway, running head-on into a 1977 Lincoln Continental driven by Philip Lewis Webster, 41, of Rankin, Pennsylvania. Both drivers, along with three passengers in Mr. Webster’s car, were taken to local hospitals for treatment of assorted injuries. All of those involved, except one passenger in the Webster vehicle who suffered a head injury, were wearing seat belts, Trooper Keen said. Trooper Keen charged Mr. Cain with failure to keep to the right of the roadway, and also charged Mr. Webster with driving under the in fluence. The trooper said, however, that Mr. Webster's DUI was not the cause of the accident. Fire and rescue personnel from Washington, Flint Hill and Amissville Volunteer Fire Departments responded to the accident. Both vehicles were totalled. Trooper Keen also investigated a property damage accident Saturday evening on Route 707, about one mile west of Route 231. In that accident, a 16-year-old from Maryland was charged with failure to drive to the right of the road after he rounded a sharp curve on the dirt road and hit another car head-on. The second driver, Karen Judith Moore, 34, of Frederick, Maryland, was not injured. Her car, a 1988 Subaru station wagon, suffered about $1,000 damage, Trooper Keen said. The juvenile was not injured either. His car, a 1977 Chevrolet station wagon, had about $400 damage, the trooper estimated. Both drivers were wearing seat belts. Recycling workshop sponsored by state On Saturday, Oct. 27, learn more about the individual’s role in recycling and waste reduction at a free workshop hosted by the Department of Waste Management in Northern Virginia. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Westpark Hotel in Tyson’s Corner, the public can find out what federal, state, and local governments are doing to promote recycling and waste reduction, what forces drive the recyclable markets, the role that the private sector and civic groups are playing in encouraging recycling, and what individuals can do to reduce the waste they generate. Learn to be part of the solution to the waste problem at this important and timely workshop. This is the first of four regional workshops being hosted by the Virginia Department of Waste Management and funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The purpose of these workshops is to better inform and involve the public in meeting Virginia’s recycling mandate. By 1991 all Virginia localities need to be recycling at a rate of 10 oercent, by 1993 at a rate of 15 per cent, and by 1995 at a rate of 25 percent. “The success of recycling efforts in Virginia relies on good public participation. That is what makes educational programs like this one so important. People want to protect our environment, and this program will help them start by reducing the waste they generate and increasing recycling,” remarked Cynthia Bailey, director of the Department of Waste Management. Under new regulations every city, county, and town in Virginia^ required to develop, either individually or regionally, a comprehensive waste management plan that includes 20 year projections of needed waste management facilities, as well as specific plans for achieving the recycling mandate. Last spring and summer the Department of Waste Management held workshops to assist local governments in the development of their waste management and recycling plans. These workshops were held through Virginia’s 22 Planning District Commissions.

Kilpatrick is Merit semi-finalist By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School senior Douglas Kilpatrick has been named a Semifinalist in the 1991 National Merit Scholarship Program. The 17-year-old youth, son of Sean and Sharon Kilpatrick of Woodville, was notified that his high math and verbal scores on his Preliminary Standardized Achievement Tests (P-SAT) qualified him as a semi-finalist. One half of one percent of all students taking the college entrance examinations are named as semifinalists, placing them in the position to become a finalist and becoming eligible for scholarships. Semi-finalists are notified later in the school year whether they have been named as National Merit finalists. Douglas said he was not surprised at the award, as his scores in both math and verbal categories were in the high 600’s, placing himself in the position to be considered as a semi-finalists. Though, he said, he was surprised when he received his final SAT scores. “I was disappointed on my math scores,” he said, adding the SAT scores were in the mid to low 700’s. Kilpatrick is a Life Scout, one badge below an Eagle, a second year starter on the school’s pop quiz team, vice-president of Technology Students’ Association for the second year, treasurer for his senior class DOUGLAS KILPATRICK and a member of the AT & T Stock Market Challenge Club, for the first year. A letterman, he plays the trumpet in the school band and has been active in band since the sixth grade, plays soccer for the Panther varsity squad and is active in the school’s Drama Club as well as participating in community productions associated with The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). As a high school junior, Douglas worked on the school newspaper, The Apple Core. He is also an acolyte at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. Douglas has not chosen a college to attend in the fall, though he has considered several different ones at various spots in the United States. He hopes to major in aeronautical engineering, and design airplanes. Douglas is not the first Rappahannock County High School student to receive the merit semifinalist award. Last year the school graduated a finalist, Elizabeth Oliver, and several years earlier her sister, Ann, was named a finalist. Wakefield School also announced a Semi-finalist in the Merit program. Elizabeth Daugherty, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Daugherty of Boyce, Clarke County, is a senior at the private school in Huntly. She is the editor of the school’s literary magazine, “Talisman,” as well as playing on the field hockey and soccer teams. She is also a member of the Wakefield Ski Club. Besides Miss Daugherty, several Wakefield School students were named as commended students in the scholarship program. These students, approximately 35,000 nationwide, scored slightly below the average needed to be named as a semi-finalist. They are Amy Longyear, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Longyear of Washington; Bridget Butler, daughter of Mrs. Anne Butler of Marshall; Lewis Martin, son of Dr. and Mrs. Lewis Martin of Millwood; and John Viega, son of Mrs. Margaret Doyle of Winchester. Five teams in stock market game Eighteen students under the leadership of Roger Flinchum, social studies teacher at RCHS, are participating in the “Fall 1990 Stock Market Game,” co-sponsored by the Virginia Tech Department of Agricultural Economics, the Virginia Council on Economic Education, and the Rappahannock County 4-H office. The Stock Market Game, which is an official 4-H project, is used throughout Virginia as a classroom enrichment program. “We’re very pleased that Mr. Flinchum has five teams of 18 students at RCHS participating this year,” said Tommy Williams, Extension Agriculture Agent. “Last spring we had teams at both RCHS and Wakefield, one of Mr. Finchum’s t,eam won a state award,” he added. The Stock Market Game is a real world simulation that is “bullish” on educating students. Teams of up to six players receive $100,000 in a computerized account set up at Virginia Commonwealth University where the Virginia Council on Economics Education is headquartered. Teams use scan sheets and mail them to VCU to purchase and trade stocks on the New York, American, NASDAQ and over-the-counter markets for 10 weeks. The simulation has been successfully implemented in grades 5-12 and in classes such as gifted and talented, economics, government, math, social studies, and civics at schools throughout Virginia. The Stock Market Game provides youth with an opportunity to solve problems, develop critical thinking skills, and to engage in co Nominations needed for ASCS committee election Farmers are asked to nominate candidates of their choice by Oct. 29 to be on the ASC community committee ballot. The ASC community committee election will be conducted from Nov. 23 to Dec. 3 by mail ballot. There are three communities in Rappahannock County. Community C (East) is up for election this year. A list of eligible voters is available in the county ASCS office, located on Gay St. in Washington. ASC committees are responsible for managing federal farm programs on the local level. To meet the needs of individual producers, ASC committee members must be concerned and responsible individuals. Rappahannock County farmers have the opportunity to nominate people they feel would best serve the farm community. Farmers have received petition forms by mail and are now submitting them to the county ASCS office. A few basic considerations should be kept in mind when circulating petitions. In order to be valid, petitions must be signed by at least three eligible farm votes in the ASC community, and must be received in the county ASCS office by the Oct. 29 deadline. Farmers may circulate or sign nominating petitions for as many candidates as they choose.

Youth involved in this hands-on approach to learning about economics and the stock market will: • learn about the American market economy • relate current political and economic events to stock prices • recognize various business forms • identify the sources of funds available to a corporation • understand the laws of supply and demand • have the experience in purchase and sell of stocks which requires reading stock market quotations in the newspapers, measuring a corporation’s success, executing stock sales and computing brokerage fees and interest charges. Because the game lasts only 10 weeks, the game emphasizes the speculative aspects of stock buying. (Long-term investment in the stock market has different goals). The true goal of the SMG is to provide an opportunity to learn “fundamental economic concepts” in an exciting manner. The Rappahannock County teams began this fall’s program on Friday, Oct. 5.

The council approved an ordinance patterned on the one already approved by the county’s Board of Supervisors, and also authorized Town Attorney Frank Reynolds to join County Administrator John McCarthy and County Attorney Peter Luke in negotiating a franchise with Adelphia. Mr. McCarthy noted that Adelphia was the only company to respond to the county’s advertised request for proposals for service. He told the council that three companies initially expressed interest, but two dropped out after discovering the average density of houses per mile in the proposed service area is below their minimum. Several members of the council questioned Adelphia’s representatives, Richard Burke and Joe Price, About rates, service and how the Astern compares with other cable companies. “The design of the system is the latest technology,” Mr. Price said. He explained that since the proposed system will be an extension of the company’s existing system in Warren County, “sharing office space and maintenance staff with the Front Royal office affords economies of scale. “We can service the area with an extension of the existing system. Another system would be a stand alone. We have in place most of the things necessary to extend the system out this way.” Mr. Burke said the company has found that the average subscriber pays approximately $22 in cable services each month. That figure, he added, includes premium channels (like Home Box Office) in addition to the basic channel selection. He said that the rate for Rappahannock County subscribers will probably be $1 or $1.50 higher than for Warren County residents due to the lower population. Council member Susan Parrish asked if the system could serve the county’s schools. “We will talk,” Mr. McCarthy added, “at the franchise negotiations about some free drops. I don’t know how far we will get with that.” Mr. Price said that in many cases the company has been able to arrange such no-cost installation as a public service. “We think that our product is helpful to education — and we like to do those kinds of things.” He said Adelphia now provides “over 5,000 free outlets for educational facilities.” In Warren County, Mr. Burke added, the company provides free service to the county’s schools, as well as a monthly schedule of programming for the Arts and Entertainment cable channel. The schools also use Adelphia’s cable feed to tune into the Public Broadcasting Service’s continuing education and instructional programming. Treasurer Brad Fisher asked if the company provides small systems with the same level of service as their larger metropolitian counterparts. “You are not out here by yourself,” Mr. Price said. “You will be an extension of a much larger system.” “We thought that with the telephone system,” Mr. Fisher replied. Mr. McCarthy said “I would point out they have an exclusive franchise. The cable television franchise is non-exclusive — if they don’t perform to your satisfaction you can invite competition.” The council approved the cable television ordinance by a 6-0 vote. Councilman Newbill Miller did not attend last Wednesday’s meeting. The council also approved unanimously Adelphia’s application for a special use permit to allow the cable television lines to be strung on overhead utility poles. The town’s zoning ordinance allows installation of underground utility lines by-right, but requires a special use permit for any new lines strung on overhead poles. The ordinance was adopted to encourage utilities to bury their lines and remove the clutter of overhead lines. Mr. Reynolds noted that the permit would require Adelphia to follow existing overhead paths, and would not allow lines to be strung across areas not presently traversed by power lines. Mr. Burke called that stipulation a “concern.” If the electric company feeds a house from one direction, and then feeds the next house from the opposite direction, “there may be a place where we may need to feed through.” “We would ask,” Mayor Dean Morehouse replied, “that you bring those specific concerns to the council at the time for design. It may require a separate permit, but we can address all those concerns at one time.” Mr. Burke told the council that Adelphia is willing to installjlyjsystem on overhead utility poles wjth the stipulation that when the other utilities bury their lines, Adelphia will do so as well. In other business, the council: • heard that the joint town/county committee on loitering met and discussed options to address the problem. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke remains opposed to a loitering ordinance, and Sheriff John Henry Woodward suggested that the benches on the sidewalk in front of the Clopton House be removed. The idea of opening the Recreation Center later was discussed, Councilman Mark Bailey reported, “but it was decided that would not be a good idea. It would create more problems than it would solve by having a congregation there after dark.” Mr. Bailey said Sheriff Woodward told the committee that his department is devoting all the time it can to the problem, and that if additional patrols are needed, the town would be requested to reimburse the Sheriffs Department for the overtime necessary for the additional patrols. • heard Mrs. Parrish question the recent street dance sponsored by the Washington Volunteer Fire Department. She wondered if the town is sending a “mixed message,” by criticizing those who loiter around the church lot but then welcoming an event “where alcohol is served in the middle of town.” Mayor Morehouse suggested the solution is to “send a message: If someone acts up at one of those events, they must be removed. We can’t let a small minority spoil fundraising opportunities for community groups.” • decided, on the recommendation of four planning commissioners present at the meeting, to leave the Planning Commission at five members rather than fill the two vacancies. The two candidates, Betty Buntin and Mary Updike, will be asked if they will serve on the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals, which also has two vacancies. Rosen named to insurance board C.

Election '90: The Rappahannock News endorses. The Rappahannock News makes the following endorsements of issues and candidates before the voters in the Nov. 6 general election: Smith for Congress The Seventh District Congressional campaign, between Republican D. French Slaughter Jr. and Democrat David M. Smith, probably would have been a good one if the incumbent Congressman had bothered to show up. There is plenty to talk about. The nation is on the brink of war. The economy is shaky, at best. The federal transportation program needs retooling, especially as it pertains to Northern Virginia. We are facing an assortment of environmental crises. And much more. As it is, Mr. Smith is running against a ghost. The campaign up through the last few days has seen the challenger vigorously stumping this giant district giving speeches, attending forums, working the banquet circuit, pumping arms on Main Street, and, like many others in the region, hoping to catch a glimpse of his three-term Republican opponent. Mr. Smith has addressed many issues that concern voters in our district: the budget and the deficit, the savings and loan crisis, the environment and a national energy policy. He has explained his pro-choice stance on the abortion issue and discussed his views on education, funding roads and mass transportation and the prospect of involving the military in an anti-drug war. The 34-year-old Democrat, Methodist minister and solar energy businessman has done well in this campaign. He has emerged from being known solely as the son of a powerful state delegate, Alson Smith of Winchester, to an articulate campaigner with a mission. It is disappointing that Congressman Slaughter has failed to mount a serious campaign in this election, the first time he has been challenged since winning the U.S. House seat in 1984. He not only has declined to face Smith in open debate, as requested by Smith, a number of newspapers (including the Fauquier Times-Democrat) and many other individuals and organizations, but he has failed to bring his case to the voters of the district through any significant effort, which is most important. His campaigning has been limited to cozy appearances with GOP compatriots or insulated functions. He has yet to deliver a major political pronouncement. Instead, Rep. Slaughter has discovered the fax machine, the press release, the franking privilege and the 30-second radio spot. In most of his campaign literature and on the air, the Republican merely reacts to Smith’s campaign charges. Apparently the Democrat has gotten under his skin as much as Smith has caught our attention. Typical of the Slaughter campaign, on Monday the district’s news media received a facsimile announcing that Tony Likins, Rep. Slaughter’s campaign manager, will be traveling through the district this week and that the campaign manager would be available for interviews — “on the record,” no less. Someone in our newsroom suggested that perhaps the hard-working Likins should be running for office, since he’s becoming ever-so-familiar as the congressman’s stand-in. Were the congressman a heavy hitter on Capitol Hill, his absence at this crucial time would be a different story. But, frankly, he’s not. Our represenative on the Hill has staked his reputation on being a man of integrity concentrating on “constituent services,” meaning that most of his effort is toward helping the little guy who encounters problems with big government. That doesn’t make Congressman Slaughter particularly valuable in Washington. What he does best is what any elected official should be doing well. We feel David M. Smith will be an excellent representative. He has demonstrated respect for the electorate by discussing the issues at the grassroots level. His moderate^approaches to solving the budget crisis, defense spending, the environment, taxes and other issues reflect the attitudes of the residents and voters of the Seventh District. Warner for Senate Republican U.S. Senator John W. Warner, seeking his third six-year term, faces only incidental opposition from Nancy B. Spannaus, who calls herself an Independent Democrat and who is a supporter of political extremist Lyndon LaRouche. We back Sen. Warner, of course, but remain disappointed that Virginia Democrats couldn’t find a candidate this year to challenge the incumbent on such questions as his 11th hour support for the Manassas battlefields and his role in the $38 million bailout of Avtex Fibers before the Front Royal plant was discovered to be the state’s largest polluter and was shut down. Amendment No. 1 The proposed amendment to the state constitution would permit the General Assembly tp.authorize local governments to set a different tax rate for/certain personal property, including automobiles, boats, machinery and similar items, for persons 65 or older or for permanently and totally disabled individuals who have limited income and assets. There is a similar constitutional provision that allows property tax relief for the elderly or disabled, and the Rappahannock News supports a “Yes” vote to extend this relief to personal property taxes. Amendment No. 2 The provision would amend the state constitution so that proceeds from property seized and forfeited to the Commonwealth for drug law violations would be shifted from the Literary Fund to be used to promote law enforcement. The proposal would reduce the Literary Fund’s receipts by less than $150,000, or two-tenths of one percent. More funds are need to wage the drug war. We support a “Yes” vote on No. 2. Amendment No. 3 We urge a “No” vote on this measure even before we explain it. This provision would amend the state constitution to authorize a new category of local debt for transportation purposes that wuld be secured by pledged local tax revenues, subject to limits on the amount of the debt and exempt from county voter approval requirements and municipal debt limits. If you want to give local elected officials carte blanche with no strings attached, then this is the law for you. While we recognize the urgent need for vast improvements to Northern Virginia’s mass transportation system, taking major financial decisions out of the hands of the voters isn’t the way to do it. Financing roads and mass transit programs must remain with the voters. Amendment No. 4 This is Amendment No. 3’s big brother. Vote “No” on this one, too, for all the same reasons: it disenfranchises the voter from expensive decisions on funding mass transportation. The measure would amend the state constitution to authorize a new category of state debt for transportation purposes that would be secured by pledged tax revenues, subject to limits on the amount of the debt, and not require voter approval. If you have complete faith in bureaucrats and all elected officials, you’ll love this proposal. We don’t and hope you don’t either. State's growth boom ends, recession looms WILLIAMSBURG — Many of the state’s metropolitan areas have suffered an economic slump so far this year, with Northern Virginia . being hit hardest and Charlottesville bucking the trend so far, according to the Virginia Business Report from the College of William and Mary. Although there is a wide variety of economic growth patterns, the general experience is slower growth than last year, especially in job growth, said Roy Pearson, director of the Bureau of Business Research, which produces the monthly report. “The seemingly endless boom of the 1980s clearly is over, and the Virginia economy is enduring a rendezvous with reality,” said Mr. Pearson. Reality has already hit Northern Virginia, which is on the brink of recession if not already over it, said Mr. Pearson. Payroll jobs in that portion of the state grew only 0.3 percent from July 1989 to July 1990, reflecting in part the building bust. Responses invited The Rappahannock News invites responses from its readers to its editorial endorsements of candidates for political office. However, in the interest of fairness and within the limits of space, the editor does reserve the right to limit the length or number of letters addressing any particular candidate, race or issue.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. The Audit Bureau This July, construction employment in Northern Virginia was down 8,900 from last year’s level, off 13.5 percent. Private services employment was only 0.5 percent above July, 1989. The end of high growth in this sector, containing business services which had been the job growth leader, in itself would hold the Northern Virginia job growth to a crawl, said Mr. Pearson. Coupled with this was a slowdown in retail trade jobs in Northern Virginia, which posted only a three percent increase. One factor which definitely will change is growth in state and federal jobs, said Mr. Pearson. In the last year, 8.1 percent, or 5,700 more jobs, were created by the state and federal governments. Retail trade in Northern Virginia was growing at well above the Virginia average through May, then switched to below-average, with larger decreases than the state for June and July. Mr. Pearson said the consumer slowdown will continue in Northern Virginia as jobs fall. A quick look at January-July statistics for some other metropolitan communities show: •Charlottesville looks strong with a 9.1 percent payroll job increase in the first six months of this year when compared to last year. General retail trade is stronger than average, and employment statistics point to state jobs as the major stimulant, said Mr. Pearson. With the state budget deficit and layoffs looming, Charlottesville’s growth should slow dramatically as the fall progresses, he said. •Although cumulative job growth has been fair in Hampton Roads, there is a weakness in retail trade. A disappointing tourist season has hurt, and the anticipated impact of the Desert Shield deployment have caused concern, according to Mr. Pearson. •The Eastern Shore has been hit hardest in the state, with every factor showing cumulative declines during the first half of 1990. The Eastern Shore has already slipped into a recession, Mr. Pearson said. Rappahannock heritage Rappahannock News phonvCindy Mahan THE HOMECOMING QUEEN and her court.

Op - Ed Waste reduction scores To the editor: Late last week the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, a non-partisan group cochaired by Peter Grace and Ambassador Alan Keyes and dedicated to the adoption by the Federal Government of the findings of the Grace Commission exposing massive federal waste, issued the “1990 CC AGW Ratings of Congress. ” For our area, they reported, “Your Congressman and Senators scored as follows ‘in votes designed to reduce government waste and the deficit’: “Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., 83.33 percent Senator John Warner, 91.67 percent Senator Charles S. Robb, 33.33 percent” All we can do as regards Senator Robb is to keep his performance in mind for the future. We can support Senator Warner and Congressman Slaugther this year for their voting record in the fight to reduce waste and deficits. Maybe the characterization, “The tax and spend” Democrats is not all wrong! JACQUELYN A. FOX Sperryville Vote for Slaughter To the editor: In the recent issue of the Retired Officer Magazine, General Colin Powell, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, was quoted: “It is a reality that America is the only super power left in all the divisions of power: political, economic, military and the power of our values.” How many of us who have personally viewed West Berlin (before the wall), the Kaesong Corridor, the Fulda Gap, and other strategic coldwar locations could have envisioned what has taken place to-date. The Fulda Gap is now only a geographic feature in Germany which can be likened to Chester Gap. Let us hope that it will not be viewed again on 1:25,000 maps with critical strategic interest. On Capitol Hill, the doves have taken full advantage of this opportunity to make capital of the diminishing cold war confrontational threat of the two world powers. In both the House and Senate, we see members of the Democratic Party eagerly licking their chops calling for massive reductions in defense dollars and the creation of a “peace dividend” which would increase funding of existing social programs and creation of new ones which are guaranteed to solve all of our social ills. No one will argue that defense spending cannot be reduced in light of the events which have occurred within recent months. However, we are now confronted with ThirdWorld adventurism in the caldron of the Middle East with Iraq’s leader, Saddam Hussein playing the leading role. Unfortunately, there are other potential flash points throughout the world which would need the necessary resources to put American strength wherever our interests indicate. Our Congressman French Slaughter has gone on record in firmly expressing his feelings when he cites the Iraqu invasion of Kuwait and the general threat to world peace their action poses. His and other like voices must be continually heard in warning those who have been calling for drastic reductions in our military budget. Such reduction of our military forces should take place in a careful and methodical manner which would take into account any short or longrange threats identified by our leaders. Our military services would still be equipped and manned by the best, both material and personnel. Lastly, the so-called “Peace Dividend,” this magic dollar figure should not be swallowed up in that morass of ill-conceived social programs, but used to counter another threat to our country — reduce the awesome deficit! French Slaughter’s name will appear on the ballot in next month’s election. Let us carefully weigh the facts before we mark that printed slip. Should we place our trust in a virtual unknown, or in one who has experienced the battle-scene and realistically views this country’s role in a “new world” — hopefully? HARRY E. PURDY Castleton Slaughter does the job To the editor: D. French Slaughter Jr., a candidate for re-election to Congress, deserves and should receive the vote of every independent thinking citizen of the Seventh District. French hesistates to “toot his own horn,” but as a taxpayer from the Seventh District for over 60 years, I want to relate some of the facts that show his outstanding qualifications to represent our District. For generations his family has been actively associated with our area. Slaughter Mountain in Rappahannock County is a reminder of his forefathers. French was born and raised in Culpeper and after graduating from the local high school he attended VMI for two years, served four years in the U.S. Army in the Infantry, European Theater. He was wounded in combat and received the Purple Heart. After his World War II Army service he attended the University of Virginia and received a law degree. He was so highly regarded that he was later elected President of the University of Virginia Alumni Association, a member of the Board of Visitors of the University, and its President from 1980 to 1982. During this time he served, as did his father before him, in the Virginia General Assembly, from Culpeper. After 20 years in the General Assembly he was elected to Congress in 1984, has been re-elected to each succeeding Congress. His congressional record in support of private enterprise, limited government and sound fiscal conservative policy is one of the best in all of Congress, with a rating of 99 percent. During much of this current campaign Rep. Slaughter has done what he was elected to do and is paid to do, that is, stay in Washington at this crucial time to give us his active sound representation. He has not left his job, for instance, to meet with his opponent, who is an attractive young man, Rev. Smith. The Reverend, to my knowledge, does not have any of the training, experience and qualifications as has Slaughter. For the benefit of our country and state, the Seventh District should send Slaughter back to Congress and let the Reverend continue his splendid service as a minister. J. CLIFFORD MILLER JR. Sperryville Leadership needed To the editor: A recent contributor to the editorial section of the Rappahannock News suggested that he would like to read Congressman French Slaughter’s lips in order to determine how Mr. Slaughter intended to solve the budget crisis currently facing our nation. Due to the intricacies involving in lip reading, I would like to provide an excerpt of the July 17, 1990 Congressional Record where Congressman Slaughter suggested a solution to his colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives: “Mr. Chairman, today the House has an opportunity to vote for the American taxpayer, and against special interests and congressional irresponsibility that have lead members down the path of deficits too long. . .Too often, we overlook the fact that future generations of Americans. . .are being saddled with this debt because of our inability and unwillingness to control present day spending. The Balanced Budget Amendment is a promise to future generations that we control our spending. I strongly urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this proposal.” The House rejected this amendment in favor of raising your taxes. Congressman Slaughter recently wrote a constituent (which is another substitute for lip reading), “While I agree with the President on the urgent need for deficit reduction, I cannot, however, support a tax increase. Rather, than raise taxes and threaten economic growth, the Federal government should cut spending.” Congressman Slaughter has dedicated his nearly six years in Congress to a balanced budget, and has worked to keep a lid on taxes. French Slaughter is the type of leadership we need in Congress today. JOHN LEKANDER Sperryville The facts rebut Mr. Sweet To the editor: You tease me to respond to Mr. Sweet’s letter in last week’s News by headlining it, “Mr. Bird Rebutted.” Well, if headlining is all, perhaps you can label this letter, “Mr. Sweet’s Rebuttal Turns Sour.” The issue I addressed in an earlier letter was whether defense spending or entitlements contributed most to the federal deficit. I argued, with appropriate facts from official statistics, that defense spending had contributed hugely to the deficit, but that the principal entitlements, Social Security and Medical Health Insurance (Medicare), had not added one red cent to the deficit. The silence that followed this argument is implicit admission of its correctness. Mr. Sweet, instead, shifts the argument to a different issue, namely, that the defense buildup under Presidents Reagan and Bush was a valuable insurance policy against Soviet aggression and well worth the cost. Let’s look at this issue. r act: (I borrow Mr. Sweet s tactic here.) While Social Security and Medical Health Insurance (Medicare) have been, since their inception, fully funded (by taxes levied disproportionately on low and middle income taxpayers), the defense buildup since 1980 has never been. Comment: I have recently renewed the insurance policy on my house. I paid the premium in full. If defense is such a valuable insurance, why doesn’t the President ask us to pay its full cost? Read my lips, Mr. Sweet. Fact: Under the heading “Fact,” Mr. Sweet states: “Defense spending under President Carter was cut back so drastically that our military and intelligence services could not do their job properly. As a direct result, the Soviet Union seized control in 10 more countries, including Afganistan, knowing the U.S. was too weak to respond.” It is a fact, I submit, that Mr. Sweet’s alleged fact is not a fact. Comment: The quotation is an opinion. And I suggest, a wrong one. There is no evidence to show that larger defense expenditures in the 1970’s would have prevented the U.S.S.R., a “superpower,” from invading Afghanistan or any other country. Indeed, all our megabillions of defense expenditures in the 1980’s did not prevent Iraq, a country substantially less than a superpower, from invading Kuwait last August. That is a fact. Facts: The national debt has exploded from $908 billion in fiscal 1980 to an estimated $3.1 trillion in fiscal 1990, much of the increase due to the Reagan defense builup. The debt grows at a rate of $4,000 a second. By present calculations, this year’s deficit will come close to $300 billion, if we include the billions required this year by the S & L bailout. At least two of President Bush’s five children, Neil and Jeb, have had their hands in that cookie jar. Comment: None. Facts: Some of the cost elements of the defense buildup are, according to Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee: SDI (Star Wars), phase one, over the next 10 years, $132 billion; the advanced tactical fighter plane, $99 billion; the Navy A-12 attack aircraft, $51 billion; 50 DDG 51 destroyers, $39 billion; finally, 78 B2 bombers at a cost of about $800 million each, $62.4 billion. Comment: On these facts, it might be well to recall what President Eisenhower said about the dangers of our military-industrial complex. See also Paul Kennedy, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers. If our defense buildup continues and the deficit thing keeps growing, we’re all going to be in deep doo doo. Discussion: There are lots more facts, but they would be redundarit. Instead, I would close by addressing the argument that SDI, coupled with a strengthened U.S. military, was largely responsible for saving us from nuclear attack and the threat of Soviet military adventures, and the notion that further “profit” from our investment was realized in the collapse of the Communist Eastern European bloc nations. This is simply a post hoc, ergo propter hoc argument, defined as an error in logic that accepts as a cause something that merely occurred earlier in time. In addressing this argument, we must remember that throughout the 1970’s, well before the Reagan buildup, we had a submarine-based nuclear force in place which was fully sufficient by itself to deter Soviet nuclear aggression. With regard to SDI as a deterrent, it is worth noting that it is not now operational, and by the end of phase one,. 10 years hence, will at best be only partially operational. There is a substantial body of opinion among leading scientists to the effect that SDI has no reasonable prospect of ever becoming an effective shield against full scale nuclear aggression. The research for SDI is estimated to cost $32 billion; the total system, $1 trillion. It is my opinion that SDI is a boondoggle by which we are all being homswoggled. The collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe and the dramatic changes now taking place inside the U.S.S.R. are the result of many factors, chief among which is the inherent impracticality of managing a country’s entire economy by a vast, centralized bureaucracy. In my opinion, and it is only an opinion, the same result would have obtained even in the absence of the Reagan defense buildup. I know of no persuasive evidence to the contrary, other than post hoc, ergo propter hoc.” And we have already dismissed that, haven’t we? Recommendation: On Nov. 6, vote for David Smith for Congress. A vote for Smith is a vote against the regressive policies of Presidents Reagan and Bush, to which our recumbent Congressman is a bondsman.

Rappahannock Journal In the corner Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan PANTHER DAVID BARNEY S frustration is obvious as goalie Jason Henry can’t get his hands on the ball during the Homecoming soccer game against Wakefield. The Owls won, County's youth soccer league plans 'pay-to-play day' for adults Oct. 28 Parents have been rooting, yelling and watching from the sidelines for weeks and now they have a chance to show the kids just what they’ve been talking about. The Rappahannock Soccer League is planning a Pay-to-Play Day on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 1 p.m. at RCES. It’s not often coaches, dads, moms and friends get a chance to really get out there and participate — especially in a sport as much fun as soccer! And to make the game even more interesting, the kids will be the coaches and referees! The entrance fee is $5 per person and proceeds will fund the Rappahannock Soccer League’s first Awards Banquet in December. The league was started in 1988 by Vinney Carney in response to her children’s desire to play soccer. This year about 150 children joined up to play on 14 teams.

Concerned about cancer-causing chemicals? Confused by scientific jargon? Help is on the way! A new illustrated citizens’ guide to drinking water quality and safety is available from the Virginia Water Resources Research Center. “What Do the Standards Mean? A Citizens’ Guide to Drinking Water Contaminants,” provides information about the health effects, recommended treatment, and federal standards for 83 drinking water contaminants to be regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The guide also presents general information about water testing, interpreting test results, how federal standards are set, how to “purify” contaminated water, requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act, and what to do if your water doesn’t meet the standards. Additional sources of help, information, and advice also are listed. Written by Water Center Information Officer Carolyn J. Kroehler and illustrated by Center Graphics Artist George V. Wills, the 90-page guide provides up-to-date information about the standards EPA have been setting for a Congress-mandated list of pesticides, microbiological contaminants, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and other chemicals.

There was the Friday evening bonfire and pep rally, the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, and the Homecoming dance on Saturday night. And there was the traditional soccer game with cross-county rival Wakefield School. Despite the outcome of the soccer game, a 2-0 loss to the visiting Owls, the weekend was successful and enjoyed by the students, according to its sponsors. The school’s National Honor Society chapter organizes the annual event, and this year its president, Jan Herman, was crowned as the school’s Homecoming Queen. Miss Herman, a senior, was elected by the students, and crowned by last year’s queen, Amy Noakes. The ceremony took place at halftime during the soccer game. The queen’s court, also selected by the students, represented each grade at the high school. Each girl was escorted by a member of the soccer team selected by Coach Mike Tupper. Representing the eighth grade was Emmy Bailey, escorted by Paul Brown. From the ninth grade was Leah Marlett, escorted by Joe Dunagan. The tenth grade representative was Lori Paratore, escorted by Patrick O’Meara. From the eleventh grade was Angela Pullen, whose escort was Jason Henry. And the senior class was represented by Carolyn Lee, who was escorted by soccer team co-captain Chris Stringfellow. Miss Herman, the Homecoming Queen, was escorted by the team’s other co-captain, Jeremy Tole.

She was crowned at halftime during the Rappahannock-Wake field soccer game last Saturday. Noakes was escorted by David Mosher, a member of last year’s soccer team and, like Miss Noakes, an alumnus of the Class of 1989. English teacher Jon Heddleston served as master of the halftime ceremony. His son, Chad, was the crown-bearer. As was done last year, the queen and her court arrived on the field in cars, provided by alumni and parents. Senior Diana Hudson, also a member of the National Honor Society, organized that part of the ceremony. “We want to thank all those people” who donated the use of their cars, said NHS faculty advisor Frieda Herman. The Saturday evening dance, held at the school, had as its theme, “The Witching Hour.” It was also organized and sponsored by the National Honor Society, and was “wellattended,” according to Mrs. Herman. The disk jockeys for the dance were two former students, Dick Burke and Jeff Fudd, “with some assistance from others,” Mrs. Herman reported. Mrs. Herman added that the National Honor Society would like to thank all the students, parents and members of the community who supported the Homecoming weekend and helped make it a success.

Slaughter has been threatened. “I think our chances of winning are very good,” Mr. Likins said. “I wouldn’t give David Smith as good a chance.” The strategy that Rep. Slaughter announced in May appears, from where Mr. Likins sits, to have worked. Rep. Slaughter said then that he had no special strategy, and that he did not plan to face his first competition for the Seventh District seat. “I will just continue to do the best I can to represent the people,” Mr. Slaughter said in May. Polling over Friday and Saturday nights will be tallied on Tuesday, Mr. Likins said, but the numbers will not be released. He would only say that “our numbers are continually very, very good.” Like Smith’s campaign, the Slaughter camp believes that the budget deadlock in Washington has stirred voters’ passions. “People are mad as hell at Congress for not doing its job,” Mr. Likins said. “Fortunately, they are not mad at French Slaughter.” Rep. Slaughter, who is 65, has never lost a race in a political career that spans three decades. He was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1958 as a Democrat. He served as a delegate for 20 years, but in 1972 he left the Democratic Party. He ran for the State House as an independent in 1974 and 1976, and in 1980 he formally joined the Republican Party. As a state delegate, Mr. Slaughter joined a growing Republican force in the Commonwealth, fueled partly at first by opposition to some civils rights causes, especially forced busing to achieve integration of public schools. In 1966, for example, Republicans won half the Virginia congressional seats, the best showing for the GOP since Reconstruction. Rappahannock County was, and remains, part of the Seventh District, which was then represented by Republican J. Kenneth Robinson. When Rep. Robinson retired in 1984, Mr. Slaughter beat Democrat Lou Costello in a race for the open seat. He has not been opposed since, until this year. At the beginning of his third term, Slaughter said he would push for legislation that he had worked on during the previous two terms, particularly a bill to establish a health savings plan. The health plan would be similar to an IRA, in that savings would be protected from taxes. The money accumulated during working years would be available during old age for health care expenses. The bill has yet to pass, and Smith aide Ellis Woodward maintains that Congressman Slaughter “is not a player in Washington.” In Mr. Slaughter’s office, press secretary Carter Comick says that the bill is still alive and well. With 39 sponsors, it is now before the House Ways and Means Committee, Mr. Cornick said Monday. Rep. Slaughter has in the past attacked deficit spnding and has vowed to fight during each term for a balanced budget. He voted against the budget package submitted by President George Bush this fall — perhaps the only issue on which he and Mr. Smith have agreed: the Democratic challenger also attacked the proposed budget. Of the current budget crisis, campaign manager Likins said that “French Slaughter is as mad as anyone else, if not madder.” Political pundits everywhere are saying that incumbents are more vulnerable than usual because of the deadlock. Rep. Slaughter may have an increased vulnerability because he has not met his challenger head on in a face-to-face shoot-out. Instead, faxes have zipped across the wires, and it has been less a case of issues debated than charges and counter-charges flung by the candidates, or their representatives. In addition to his support for business and a balanced budget, Rep. Slaughter has made it clear that in most cases he opposes abortion, the legalities of which he feels should be left up to individual states through their legislative processes. He has agreed that a modest reduction in defense spending may be achieved with the thawing of the cold war. Smith Continued from page A-1 electorate. “A good professional poll will cost five or six thousand dollars,” he said. “We have to balance at this point the value of what we would learn against spending the money on getting out our message.” Voter dismay over the budget deadlock cou)d mean the difference with the undecided voters, Mr. Woodward believes. “I think this is the wave on which challengers like Smith are going to ride into Washington. We always knew here that we needed something to overcome the registration numbers. The whole specter of a Congress unable to find its tail may be what we needed. ” Mr. Smith is is 34-year-old Methodist minister and solar energy entrepreneur who has never run for public office before. He is challenging a man who has never lost a race — and Congressman Slaughter’s first campaign took place when Smith was a toddler. But he has the backing of his father: State Del. Alson Smith, Jr., one of the most powerful of the Vir ginia Democratic politicians. Part of the elder Smith’s clout involves money. He can raise a lot of it, and he has served as treasurer for his son’s campaign, a fact that gave credibility from the beginning. Mr. Smith hammered away at his theme: Slaughter was not addresing the issues. The Democratic candidate and his aides pointed to parts of a taped radio interview in which Slaughter’s responses rambled. enger also went on the attack on Rep. Slaughter’s record, claiming that he accepted money from a savings bank —which is not the same as a savings and loan. Mr. Slaughter denied that, and also denied that he had voted favorably on behalf of the perpetrators of the savings and loan crisis that will cost taxpayers upwards of $500 billion to fix. Mr. Smith drew .attention from the incumbent, and written reaction that was faxed to media across the district. Paper flew. There were charges and counter-charges, with Mr. Smith seeing the congressman’s record one way, and the Slaughter camp, predictably, seeing it another way. But on many substantive issues Mr. Smith drew little reaction from Rep. Slaughter, and he therefore continued to charge that Rep. Slaughter was avoiding the issues. Early on Mr. Smith saw abortion as a key issue, although he approached the subject carefully. He said that the government should not invade a woman’s privacy, while he noted that Rep. Slaughter opposes abortion in most cases. The Smith campaign reacted quickly to current events, supporting President George Bush when he sent troops to Saudi Arabia and attacking the first budget package compromise worked out this fall as unfair. A native and resident of Winchester, Mr. Smith grew up in politics and has more experience in the game than most candidates who are running for the first time. He worked in the campaigns of Attorney General Mary Sue Terry and U.S. Senator Charles Robb. He took a degree in business management from Shenendoah College and a master of divinity degree from Eastern Mennonite Seminary. Mr. Smith runs his business, Crystallite Solar Marketing Group, in Winchester. He also serves as pastor of the Greenwood and Carpers Valley Charge of the United Methodist Church. Halloween Continued from page A-1 attend, even those not interested in staying for the fun following dinner. “The all-you-can-eat pizza dinner proceeds will benefit the seventh grade class trip to Williamsburg,” in the spring, Mrs. Berta said, adding salad accompanies the dinner with dessert extra. Other proceeds from the festival will support the purchase of other items for the school. Events begin at 6 p.m. and are spread throughout the school. In classrooms children will find games and craft ideas. In the auditorium, children of all ages are invited to participate in mask making using cardboard masks with a variety of ornaments like feathers, sequins and paint. There will be a haunted house, rides for children, games to win prizes and a display of jack-o-lantems. Events, other than dinner which cost $5 per person, range in price from 25 cents to 50 cents, and include a variety of activities to chal lenge, entertain and delight children of all ages. “Parents should come with their children for a night of fun and food,” Mrs. Berta said, adding children should be accompanied by an adult when attending the function, not left on school grounds unattended. “We are hoping this idea will catch on and we can do it each year,” Mrs. Berta said. The Child Care and Learning Center is inviting everyone out for a night of ghouls, ghosts, goblins and hot dogs roasted on an open fire at its second annual Haunted Hay Rides on Saturday, Oct. 27, from 6 to 8 p.m. “This is not just for children,” organizer Rose Ann Sharp said of the affair, held at Mountain Green Farm, one mile down Route 622 in Harris Hollow. “We would really like to see more teenagers out there this year,” she said, adding the group needs able-bodied men interested in helping with this year’s event, also. Interested ghouls and ghosts should contact Mrs. Sharp at CCLC at (703) 675-3237. “All you have to do is bring a Flood Continued from page A-1 trouble spots, and after consulting with the School Board announced that school would begin two hours late. But, when the National Weather Service extended its flash flood warning from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., Dr. Gangel reconsidered and school was cancelled for the day. “This is a whole new experience for me,” the superintendent said as he surveyed the flooded roadways at Rock Mills. “On the Eastern Shore, we had high water when a hurricane came through, but nothing like this.” Virginia Department of Transportation maintenance supervisor Ron Marshall said the latest round of high water had set his crews back somewhat in their clean-up effort, but reported that by Tuesday afternoon the crews were back to their repair tasks. “The crews spent a half-day today checking roads and putting up high water signs. ’ By Tuesday af temoon, they were clearing debris off the roads as the water receded, and hauling gravel to fill in the eroded areas. Though there was some erosion damage from the high water, Mr. Marshall said it much less severe than the damage from the earlier storm, which had stripped several roads down to the bedrock. “This was not near as bad ... we didn’t have the torrential downpour in the short period of time.” As of Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Marshall predicted that the crews would have caught up to where they were before the second storm by Wednesday afternoon. “Then we’ll go on from there.” Mr. Wingfield said he has recorded a total of 12.83 inches of rain so far this month (as of Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 23), “nearly a half-inch a day!” But, always the optimist, Mr. Wingfield was still able to find a silver lining in all the clouds. “Look on the bright side. If this had been snow we would have had nearly 130 inches so far this month!” flashlight and a blanket,” Mrs. Sharp said of guests for the event, adding those interested in bringing their own hot dogs and marshmallows to roast should do so, though hot dogs, hot apple cider and marshmallows will be sold on the farm. Children from ages three to 11 are invited to participate in the pinata breaking, dashing for goodies once the thing breaks. And, while there will be haunted hayrides leaving at 20 minute intervals for those who appreciate the scary sights of ghouls, aliens, witches stirring their brew, mummies and headless horsemen, the -early rides around the farm will cater to the younger children and bypass the Halloween gore. Tickets are available at the gate for $6 per adult and $4 for those under 12. Tickets in advance, available at CCLC on U.S. 211 just west of Washington, are $5 for those over 12 and $3 for those under age 12. Signs along U.S. 211, east and west, will give directions to the farm. Raindate for the event is Sunday, Oct. 28, same time and place. Zoning Continued from page A-1 quired in a divorce settlement. A final amendment says that joint owners cannot qualify for family subdivisions. Other proposed amendments relate to golf courses. Fifty acres is now the minimum required for golf courses. Under the proposed amendments, to qualify for a golf course an owner would have to have 75 acres for a nine-hole course and 125 acres for an 18-hole course. As originally advertised the amendment would have required 150 acrps for an 18-hole course, but County Administrator John McCarthy suggested that many of the facilities required for a nine-hole course don’t have to be duplicated to expand to 18 holes. The planners agreed to lower the requirement to 125 acres, with Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Sharon Pierce objecting.

CURRIE Rappahannock Newg Staff Writer It’s been nearly 115 years since Thomas Alva Edison directed his inventive genius toward producing the first phonograph, a revolutionary device that recorded sound and replayed it at the listener’s desire. Voice recordings have come along way from the early “78s,” starting in the last century as completely acoustic recordings often sounding scratchy and gritty, to high-tech reproductions on compact discs — digital recordings read by a laser producing flawless audio quality. Modern recordings can be found in nearly any music store. “Sounds of a Century” can only be found in Richard “Dick” Pierson’s basement. “It’s the name of the business, the collection and the radio show,” Mr. Pierson said, sitting in his Amissville kitchen while his wife, Ginny, prepared a threetiered wedding cake for an afternoon reception. While Mr. Pierson has been instrumental in developing the newest production for the Rapphannock Players, “On The Air,” a play depicting a day in the life of the talk-radio shows during the “Golden Age of Radio,” his love of music is only a hobby. He is a calligrapher by trade, a penman. Mr. Pierson graduated from Zanerian College of Penmanship in Ohio and produces testimonials, resolutions, diplomas, charters, awards, certificates and other like items for several national and local groups — like the AFL-CIO, the Fauquier Bar Association, Federal Communications Commission and others. “I also did the Nixon innagural invitations,” Mr. Pierson said. But his penmanship expertise does not stop there. He contributed his services for the recent Amissville Volunteer Fire Department Craft Days brochures and their antique car show awards. And, readers of the Rappahannock News are also familiar with Mr. Pierson’s work, though they may not realize it. He executed the newspaper’s flag — the front page nameplate — with its Old English embellishments. While penmanship is his profession, his hobby of collecting recorded sound marks him as an offical source of the soundtrack for the Players’ upcoming production. Helping with the recreation of authentic radio personalities such as The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, Abbot and Costello, Lulu Bell and Scotty, Baby Rose Marie and others is only part of Mr. Pierson’s contribution. All music for the event will come from Mr. Pierson’s collection — golden sounds from the 1920s through the late 40’s. “The phonograph is the only instrument I can play,” he said with a laugh, smiling as he added that his performance is “pretty good, too.” Spinning all the discs in Mr. Pierson’s basement only goes to show that “practice makes perfect.” Mr. Pierson has more than 20,000 recordings lining his basement walls dating back to the dawn of recorded sound, in 1888. “You’re either enthralled or you’re not,” he said of his collection and its development. “I’m not real sure when I started Rappahannock News photo/Lisa G. Currie CUEING UP A classic on his old Victrola, Dick Pierson of Amissville plays one of the more than 20,000 records in his collection. His catalogue sits atop the desk to his left, where each record is meticulously cross-referenced. collecting,” he said with a faraway look, adding in his younger years when rock first began his friends were all speeding their weekly allowance on Elvis albums. His thoughts turned to his mother’s and father’s collections. Before he knew it, he was collecting from his grandparents’ collections and his neighbors. Over the years, the collection has grown. “I say over 20,000,” he said with a smile, adding his son once started to count the collection as well as himself. All attempts have fallen short of exact numbers. “Some are rare, some are expensive, some are junk,” Mr. Pierson said of his tremendous collection, adding its growth is only encouraged by his ability to never “pass up a junk store. That’s how 99 percent of all the recordings in my basement came about. “The only time you have to pay a high price is when another collector has a title or artist you really want. Then, you can buy or trade,” he said, explaining he never trades his real collectibles but trades copies of them. “I have one of every recording ever made by A1 Jolson,” Mr. Pierson said, adding he also has duplicates and that’s what he trades for other recordings. Besides the collector of the music or recording itself, Mr. Pierson said many people look for the “wallhanging disc.” Until the Depression, record companies often produced elaborate discs with wonderfully romantic or comic designs covering the disc. Amid the 20,000 plus platters, Mr. Pierson can quickly lay his hands on a “wall hanging.” If the exact number of recordings was ever reached for Pierson’s extensive library, it would increase quickly, for it probably would not have included the one Mr. Pierson bought just last week. “It was a 1933 song by Baby Rose Marie,” he said with pride, adding the disc is part of a series of three he has spent his entire adult life searching for; the two other recordings he purchased earlier. “Now, I have all three,” he said with a smile. One of a kind, unique recordings, complete anthologies of recordings by a single artist, gospel, pop, big band, hillbilly, old, new, “the great, the near-great and the just plain awful” are all members of Mr. Pierson’s extensive library of recordings. “That one that is ‘just plain awful’ may have been someone, though,” he said, adding he has one record made by Rudolph Valentino. The silent screen Romeo only made one record, one of the few recordings of his voice. “Even Valentino though it was awful,” Mr. Pierson said of the record. But that one, like the others, has found a place in the Pierson library. “Catalogued by name, title of song, and author just like a library,” he said, adding he can lay his hands on any request immediately. Mr. Pierson calls himself “the custodian for yesterday’s performers.” Just stepping into his library of music proves his moniker. Recordings mean far more than music to the ears; Mr. Pierson’s recordings include just recorded voices, like that of the famous poet Robert Browning and speeches by Italy’s Fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini. His card catalogue, sitting perched upon his desk amid anthologies of music and recordings which help Mr. Pierson date and catalogue each piece, is topped with an early hand-powered phonograph with it’s dust-covered trumpet extending across the room. Nipper, Victor Recording Studios’ (now RCA) famous dog, sits in ceramic along side the recorder, at home amid the sounds which made him great. Truly, the basement collection is the record of a “century of sound.” In here, between the corridors of brown-paper sleeves of sound, Dick Pierson comes alive. His hands fly up and down the rows of discs, quickly verifying his knowledge of the music and the organization of his collection. He pulls 78’s from their storage with a seemingly hasty motion, yet each is handled like one would a newborn babe, each place is saved and when the disc is removed from its playing position it gets stored neatly back in its brown-sleeved wrapper again. Mr. Pierson plays one recording after another, showing his familiarity with the discs as he quickly locates the particular track he seeks. He knows where the disc hits the high notes, he knows at which meter the voice begins and the orchestra quiets and the name of each musician as if they were family members just living here, amid the custom-made shelves Mr. Pierson designed and produced for his collection. Words from a century of song fall from his mouth as he compares the early 20’s with the late 40’s, or hillbilly music with country music, or musicians and styles spanning generations of American music. He becomes his own cross-reference, knowing the number of times the song was produced, the names of the voices it See SOUNDS, p. B-7 Players' recreation of radio days a 'golden' triumph By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer All you have to do is listen to enjoy the production “On the Air,” playing for one more weekend at Gay Street Theater in Washington. In fact, if you close your eyes, you can feel yourself moving closer to the old radio on stage — like your grandparents, or even you, may have done, ears glued to the mesh around the speaker, the world on the other side coming alive with voices from around the globe. “On the Air” brings the radio of yesterday alive. Broadcasting from “high atop Old Rag Mountain”, the production’s radio station WRAP offers the audience a glimpse into the past, not just with its varied musical offerings but with radio procedures, world history, and personal traumas like love and death, change and progress. For those over 40, the show is a wonderful series of reruns never repeated before; for those under 40, the play is a guide, a lesson, a look at entertainment before television. To enjoy the show you must first transfer yourself to the age long before television — an age when things were “only possible on the radio. ” It is hard for those who grew up in our television age to remember the day when visual images, other than movies and newsreels, were nonexistent; harder to think of a day not connected by satellites, fax machines, lavish Hollywood sets and beautiful faces. It’s hard but try to remember when the president was just a voice booming into your living room speaking of fearing “fear itself’ and bringing horrible news of that day in 1941 “that will live in infamy.” On-The-Air begins in 1990 with Elizabeth Remington, played by Washington’s Edith Tennent, falling asleep reading a love letter, her dreams taking her to 1927 and days long-past in the radio station, where she meets her true love, finds her first voice on-the-air, marries another man, suffers personal losses to a world at j war and rediscovers her youth in her grandchildren. The story of her life fades in and out, entwined with the growth of the radio station as it moves through time from 1927 to New Year’s Eve, 1949. Remember, radio was the major source of information until television debuted in the 1950’s. There were wonderful recipe lessons on making bread, “not sticky buns,” given by WRAP’S own Cuban cook, alias Rappahannock’s Linda Orfila, who, in a 1938 segments, reminds homemakers never to store Chiquita bananas in the refrigerator, “oh, no” and who does wonderful commerials for bread and fruit cake and songs from Lou Lou Belle. Those who remember gathering around the old brown box in the living room will remember Uncle Erza and Virginia, played by Robert and Virginia Scott. If you remember their bamdance then you’ll remember “Willie” and “The Old Woman. ” Even if you don’t remember what’s known as the “Golden Age of Radio,” “On the Air” is an old-fashioned comedy to entertain even the youngest members of the family and keep the oldest in laughter. If you close your eyes, how many people do you hear singing with Virginia? Maybe one, maybe five — you never knew. Maybe you never knew it was Virginia. That’s just one of the things possible on radio. The change in character on a radio show may just be a change in voice. Howard Coon’s story of the dead dog brings this to life, as does Virginia Scott s songs of Willie and lhe Old Woman.” Woodville’s Sean Kilpatrick is a prime example of the way radio stations were able to use so many characters in one act. Is he the bad guy or the district attorney in “The Shadow?” Close your eyes and try to find out. Radio actors playing multiple characters by changing only their voices were common on radio serials, since the audience could only hear what was going on. The listener may not have been able to see, but he felt the action and imagined the scenes as if they were real. The voices emanating from the small speaker behind the cloth grille helped to bring it all to life. No one demonstrates this better in the production than Sean Kilpatrick as he gives you a blow-by-blow description of a 1933 baseball game between the Washington Senators and the New York Yankees. Even though he never leaves his station’s teletype machine, you duck when you hear the crack of the hitter’s bat. Lingering on the national pasttime, “Who’s on First?” is an appropriate skit to follow Lefty Gomez’s hurling prowess. The wonderfully twisted word games of “Who’s on First?” was so expertly performed by Steve Hostetter and Dave Konick that, by the end, even their faces seemed to resemble that of Abbott and Costello. It was an action packed year in 1933 as “The Lone Ranger,” alias Wayne Hintz, rode onto the set, never disclosing his true identity, even when finding himself seperated from his faithful companion, Tonto, played by Mike Mahoney. Close your eyes again, move into 1938, when Germany invades Europe and blue coal from Pennsylvania is all the rage. You will think it is “The Shadow,” not Rappahannock Players’ veteran Howard Coon, laughing his eerie “Shadow” laugh. And Alice Gentry’s Little Alice was sweet and to perfection. The play, a potpourri of ideas and things from the past, is also a potpourri of talent. Voices never heard before, like that of Brett Taylor singing of his “rendezvous with love;” talent never known before like the many voices of Virginia Scott and Sean Kilpatrick; ideas, like the many minds and hands that come together to write the script, all come together in this production. Take the time this weekend to see, hear and eryoy a bit of all our pasts. The Rappahannock Players' production of “On tfye Air” will be presented at the Gay Street Theatre this Friday and Saturday night, Oct. 26 and 27. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Tickets are $7, and are available in advance atRAAC’s local ticket outlets and, if not sold out, at the door the night of the show.

Call 675-3338 to subscribe Garden Club hears talk on bats, butterflies By MARTHA SUTHERLAND Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer “Bats, Beautification and Butterflies” — these three topics were the focus of the October meeting of the Rappahannock County Garden Club held at the home of Mrs. Celine Siira. A tape on bats presented by Mrs. Florence Nordone emphasized the fact that these mammals do much to control our insect population. Therefore, they deserve a much better reputation than the one they have at the present time. The second tape presented the work of the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs in adding beauty t6 our surroundings. Lastly, club members were treated to a lovely tape made at the Day Butterfly Center in Callaway Gardens in Georgia. A date of Oct. 30 was announced as the time for a work day at the county courthouse for the purpose of cleaning up the flower boxes and flower beds before winter. In November, a workshop will be held for the purpose of teaching additional members how to operate the machines used for making the Christmas green swags and wreaths that the club will have for sale in December. The flower of the fall season, the chrysanthemum, was on display to be judged and many artistic design exhibits, titled “The Harvester” were presented. Winners in these categories were Dot Estes, Christine Johnston, Helen Brown, Barbara Colvin, Eve Filipy, Marcia Doelman and Ellie Kraemer.

Have you ever experienced a day when everything seemed to be going wrong? Then you happened upon someone who gave you a smile... a special smile which traveled from the heart. . . paused at the lips. . . and went on to reflect the warmth of caring eyes. Maybe that smile brightened the moment, or even gave you that extra bit of strength to make it through the day feeling less "blue." So, as you go on your way, try to give someone you pass that very special gift of a smile. If takes such little effort... yet it can mean so much. As we worship God this week, may we thank Him for smiles. . .for the love of God may be reflected from the shining window of a twinkling eye, making mere words unnecessary. . . “that ultimate sparkling silence. ” Copyright 1990, Keister-Williams Newspaper Services.

GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Tuesday, Sept. 11, the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution met at the Culpeper United Methodist Church for its first meeting of the 1990-1991 year, with Mrs. Carlyle Crigler, Regent, convening it. The hostesses were Mrs. James A. Weaver and Miss Barbara Weaver. The speaker of the afternoon was Army Major General Joe W. Rigby, who is in charge of the Materiel Command and is stationed at the Pentagon. He spoke of the U.S. Constitution, the oldest living document in the world, and that it had changed the course of mankind in its 203-year history. The Articles of Confederation of the 13 original colonies were not enough for governing so in 1787 was convened the provisional Congress in Philadelphia which realized that the Article could not just be rewritten but a complete revision was needed, resulting in the Constitution. In 1789, the United States government began goveminng for the first time under the new Constitution. The first three words of the Preamble are the most important — “We, the people. . .” — as the Constitution is an instrument of the people. It was not a perfect document as the amendments added over the years attested, with the first addition being the Bill of Rights dedicated in 1791. Starting four years ago, a booklet is given to each military recruit with a copy of the Constitution in it and time is taken during basic training to teach them the meaning of it and to know why they are in the military — as servants of the American people. The message from the President General, Mrs. Yochim, was read as it always is at NSDAR meetings, and in it Mrs. Yochim spoke of the American flag which was established as the official flag on June 14, 1777. The stars represent heaven; the red stripes represent the mother country; the white stripes represent the separation of the U.S.A. from the mother country. A new Indian School has been added to the DAR projects for scholarships and lesser expenditures of gifts.

Fall garden cleanup reduces disease, improves production by DIANE RELF Extension Home Horticulturist Clean-up and planting around the garden can provide enjoyable exercise on sunny fall days. Be sure to keep leaves raked up from the lawn. If they are allowed to accumulate and become matted down by rain, they may smother the grass. Rake them up regularly and store them in a pile for use as mulch in the garden next summer. Cut down the plants in the vegetable and flower garden and turn them under to decompose. This will enrich the soil with organic matter while eliminating over-wintering sites for insects and disease. If your garden is on a slope, leave the chopped trash to protect the soil and prevent winter erosion. Use hand pruners, hedge shears or a sharp sickle to cut the plants into pieces about six inches long. Low-growing plants like beans and dwarfflowers can be cut up by running along the row with rotary lawn mower. For most home gardeners the incorporation of garden debris is a much more practical way of maintaining soil organic matter CMH plans class for siblings Culpeper Memorial Hospital’s New Brother/New Sister Sibling class will be held Saturday, Nov. 3 at Culpeper Memorial Hospital.

Coarse materials such as corn stalks, or evergreen branches may be used as mulch on chrysanthemums. In the colder parts of the state a better procedure than using mulch on chrysanthemums is to cut the tops back to about three inches long, dig the plants, and place them in pots or flats in a cold frame until growth starts in the spring. Cuttings or divisions can be taken from these plants which will make vigorous growth next summer. Such plants usually will produce better flowers than the older plants. Try sowing some hardy annual flowers to secure an early start in the garden next year. The following seeds will tolerate the cold of winter and be ready to grow rapidly when warm weather arrives next spring: calliopsis, cornflower, larkspur, Johnny-jump-up, and annual poppies. When planting hardy annual flowers in the fall, make a shallow, wide furrow. Sow seeds thinly in a band about 3 or 4 inches wide and cover lightly with soil. Space the seed wide enough apart to allow some of the young plants to be easily transplanted into more desirable locations in flower beds and borders. Mulch fall-sown annuals with coarse material to reduce erosion and damage by rapid and extreme changes in temperature. Mark the rows carefully so you will know where to look for young seedlings next spring. Remove the mulch after cold weather is past but before the plants start to grow.

Lasagna a hearty addition to fall menus By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Agent One of the topics covered in the Culinary Hearts Cooking Class, now underway at the Extension Office, is the modification of popular recipes to make them more “heart healthy.” In the first lesson, students learned how to modify recipes to reduce the fat and sodium content. The demonstration recipe for that lesson .. was a Low-fat Lasagna. In preparing for this demonstration, it prompted me to look up my other recipes for lasagna and com HOME ECONOMICS pare them. The recipe for Easy Lasagna is made in the microwave oven and uses uncooked lasagna noodles. It really does work! I was somewhat skeptical when I first tried it a few years ago for a microwave cooking demonstration, but the sauce is thinner and you double-wrap it with plastic wrap, so the noodles absorb the moisture as they cook. It’s a great dinner to make when you’re in a hurry and don’t have much time to cook. An even easier version is the Impossible Lasagna Pie made with commercial baking mix. Although *■ the purists will say this is not true lasagna, it is the inexpensive, delicious, no-fuss pie version. The Mexican Lasagna is from the October issue of The Virginia Cattleman. It’s the winning recipe in the statewide 4-H Beef Ambassador Cook-off Contest. It substitutes com tortillas for pasta. The last lasagna recipe uses Italian sausage instead of ground beef. It’s not low-fat or low-calorie! But it is a delicious recipe from Betty Crocker’s International Cookbook that I’ve made numerous times. Low-fat lasagna 1/4 cup vegetable oil 11/2 cups diced onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium green pepper, diced 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced (21/2 cups) 3/4 pound ground round 1 teaspoon salt, if desired 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 (1 lb. each) cans tomato sauce 1 can (28 ounces) Italian-style peeled tomatoes 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley 1 pound lasagna noodles 8 ounces part-skim milk mozarella cheese, shredded USDA Choice Beef Untrimmed 12-14 Lbs.

Saute the onions, garlic and green peppers until softened. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender. Add the ground round, salt and pepper. Cook until meat loses its red color. Drain off excess fat. Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano and parsley. Simmer 1 1/2 hours, or until sauce has thickened. While cooking, if sauce becomes too thick, add small amounts of water as needed. Prepare the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. You do not have to use oil to prevent noodles from sticking together as directions of some packages suggest. If you gently stir noodles occasionally, they will not stick. Cook noodles for 10-12 minutes or until al dente (still a bit chewy). Drain, rinse with cold water, and separate noodles. Combine ricotta and half of the Parmesan cheese. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For each of two 13x9x2-inch pans: spoon in a thin layer of sauce and cover with a layer of lasagna noo- % dies. Next place a layer of shredded mozzarella and ricotta-Parmesan mixture. Add some sauce. Arrange successive layers in a likewise manner, ending with a layer of noodles. Top with sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Bake about 25 minutes. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Recipe makes 2 pans and serves 16. Approximately 310 calories per serving. Note: The salt can be omitted entirely as the herbs will give it flavor.

News in and around Amissville It appears fall is really upon us with the cool temperatures last week" following the August-like weather with temperatures in the 80’s. We were all surprised to learn of the tornado in nearby Remington last Thursday, Oct. 18, in which 11/2 to 2 million dollars in damages has been estimated. It has been declared a disaster area. Fortunately no one was killed in Remington; however, an Orange county man was killed. It is believed to be the same tornado that hit Remington 10 minutes later. In all, five tornadoes touched down in the Washington area. Mrs. Liza Settle recalls that a tornado hit near here in Rock Mills area and Woodville in 1929, killing her half-brother and Jesse Settle’s father Carroll Settle. He was killed when their home was completely destroyed and the chimney fell on him. Only the stone foundation remained. It was a very destructive one.

Frances Hudson, Kathy Hudson, Clarence Jones, Tracy and Tom Guidice had dinner at the 220 in Win CMH installs CT scanner Culpeper Memorial Hospital is currently in the process of installing one of the world’s most advanced diagnostic X-ray imaging systems. “The new Computed Tomography (CT) whole body scanner will enable doctors to perform studies of head and body tissues with unprecedented detail and accuracy,” said Dr. Peter Nielsen, Director of Medical Imaging at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of New York University, Dr. Nielsen attended medical school at Cornell University and did residency training in radiology, nuclear medicine, and internal medicine at Bethesda Naval Hospital. In July 1988, Dr. Nielson came to Culpeper. Board certified not only in radiology, but also in nuclear medicine and internal medicine, Dr. Nielsen will be responsible for reading and interpreting the scans from this equipment. “It is unusual for a community hospital of our size to have the combined expertise of an individual with Dr. Nielsen s capabilities and the advanced technology of the CT scanner fully available to our physicians and patients,” said William A. Gravely, president of CMH. Under Dr. Nielsen’s leadership Culpeper Memorial Hospital recently acquired a new ultrasound system, replaced a tomography room, and it is in the process of adding a new radiographic-fluoroscopic room that will give the Hospital the capability of accomplishing angiographic exams. This past year the Hospital initiated MR I services on a weekly basis. CMH has had a mobile CT scanner for several years. It has been available only on a limited basis, however, which is the major reason Dr. Nielsen, after taking over the department, established as his first priority the acquisition of a hospitalbased unit. When the scanner is put into use in late spring, CT technology will be available to patients and physicians on a full-time basis. Considered to be one of the most important breakthroughs in diagnostic medicine in the 20th century, CT has since its introduction in the mid 1970’s proven invaluable in the evaluation of neurological disorders, in managing head trauma and for detecting tumors and cysts within the chest and abdomen too small to be picked up by conventional radiological techniques. “It will enable us to provide even greater comprehensive care at all times and even better clarity on fractures,” said Dr. Ben Allen of Virginia Orthopaedic Associates. The CT 9800 not only provides more accurate (“higher-resolution”) images than the old machine, but it is faster. Speed is important to precision imaging because it can all but eliminate image “blurring” due to patient movement. “The heart must beat, the patient must breathe, and the digestive system must function, even though a scan is being made,” Dr. Nielsen said. Chester on Friday. Linnie Cummings, Alice Pullen and Barbara Gentry were among those attending the House Tour in the county over the weekend.

It may seem early to think about Christmas, after all Halloween hasn’t been celebrated yet. But merchants are making their plans, so consumers should have ‘a strategy too. If you plan well, you should be able to get the most for your money, find that special gift for each person on your list, and actually have time to enjoy the holiday season. You need to start with a plan. The plan should include time management and money management. This is important because if you don’t plan your time well, you may find yourself spending more on convenience items or on more expensive gifts because you don’t have the time to search for alternatives. Start by getting a calendar that you can write on each day. Mark the days that you plan to mail packages and cards. Then work backwards and mark the dates that you must start writing the cards and buying or making the items you plan to send. Mark any dates that you would like to entertain and the correspond ing dates when the invitations should be sent. Mark the dates when you plan to decorate your home, make special holiday treats, and visit friends. On the days when you plan to entertain, sketch out a menu and other items you may need such as rental video tapes for youngsters. If you could make items ahead, jot down a date when these could be made and frozen. If you are entertaining several times during the holidays, consider having similar menus. You will find that it takes less time to prepare the food and any leftovers can be effectively used. Next plan a budget for the holidays. Take a look at your assets and determine the maximum amount that could be spent on the holidays. List all of the people you plan to give gifts to and the approximate cost. Project the cost of any entertaining you plan to do as well as any traveling. If you are having house guests during the holidays you may need to plan for additional expenses for utilities. More people usually translates to more hot water used, more heating used and more electricity for lighting, personal care and cooking. Total the cost of aU^items and compare with the amount'1^cju have set aside for holiday expanses. If your spending outpaces your holiday savings, look over your list and see where you can trim. Consider alternatives for entertaining. In place of a dinner party, invite people over for coffee and dessert. In place of cocktails, give your guests a choice of an alcoholic or a non-alcoholic punch. If the main purpose of the event is fellowship, then the food is less important and inexpensive items will serve as well as gourmet fare. Plan to keep credit purchases to a minimum. If you are using your credit cards for convenience aiiiMBU pay the bill in full when it comes, you plan to carry the balance into next year, you could be adding 18 percent to 22 percent onto the.pdS of everything you buy. By planning now you will be able to estimate money and time atod more accurately, probably saving some of both.

Latham, president of the Northern Virginia 4-H Education Center, in Front Royal, has announced that the center’s director, John E. Dooley, has accepted the position of executive director with the Virginia 4-H foundation in Blacksburg, effective Jan. 1. Mr. Latham said, “John has brought what was once only a dream to fruition for the many supporters of 4-H. His vision and leadership skills will be sorely missed. We wish him the best in his new endeavor and are grateful that 4-H will continue to be the beneficiary of his energy and talents.” Mr. Dooley, who has been with the center in Front Royal since March, 1982, has been instrumental in the development of innovative program opportunities for the youth and adults of Northern Virginia. He is well known for his creation of and involvement in Camp Fantastic, a program for children with cancer, which has received national recognition. Over the last eight years Mr. Dooley has given direction to the implementation of the center’s master plan resulting in facilities valued at over $10 million. Most recently he gave leadership to a $3.6 million capital campaign to fund construction of a major conference center complex. In 1989 the Chamber of Commerce of Front Royal and Warren County recognized Mr. Dooley as “Citizen of the Year.’’ He has also served as president of the Chamber of Commerce of Front Royal and Warren County and on the boards of Warren Memorial Hospital, Special Love Inc. and the Washington/Baltimore Chapter of the Ronald McDon aid’s Children’s Charities. He is chairman of the finance committee of the First Baptist Church in Front Royal and is a member of the Front Royal-Warren County Rotary Club. Mr. Dooley, a native of West Virginia, received his B.A. from Alderson-Broaddus College in Philippi where he was sports information director, director of annual giving, iuf# director of alumni affairs before-as suming his post in Front Royal. • -- In his new capacity with the Virginia 4-H Foundation, Mr. Doolep will be a spokesman statewide for .4; H and will promote the educational opportunities available to the youtij of the Commonwealth. He will also give leadership to the continued di£ velopment of a comprehensive filhiP raising program to benefit the Virt ginia 4-H program and its projects. ■= Mr. Latham said a search coin* mittee has been formed to lead the recruitment effort for a new direct^ and that Sally Miller, the center’s director of development, will serve in an interim capacity until the position has been filled. Master gardener program offered The Master Gardener program in horticulture, sponsored by the Culpeper, Madison, and Orange Extension Services, is now accepting registration from interested gardeners in these and surrounding counties. The Master Gardener program will provide in-depth training in most aspects of horticulture. The lectures will be held in 17, three hour sessions (with refreshment breaks), scheduled to be held every Wednesday, Nov. 21 through March 20 (skipping Dec. 26), from 9 a.m. to noon at Piedmont Education Center, six miles south of Culpeper onU.S. 15. Instruction will be given in the following horticulture areas: Home Vegetable and Fruit Production, Woody Plants, Annuals, Perennials, Soils, Diseases, Foliage Plants, Morphology and Physiology of Plants, Diagnosing Plant Problems, Integrated Pest Management, Turf, Pruning Management, Plant Propagation, Landscape Design, and more. There will be about 50 hours of classroom lecture with homework assignments. Each participant is expected to return this amount of time assisting the Extension Office in their effort to provide educational information to other residents and in voluntary service projects in horti culture to benefit the community. If you are interested in this program, call an Extension Office (Culpeper, 825-2233; Madison, 948-688JL; or Orange, 672-1361) before or by Nov. 5. The $45 registration fee includes the cost of the Virginia Ma»^ ter Gardener handbook. Upon receipt of registration fee a copy of the Virginia Master Gardener han(Jj book will be ordered. “The Extension staff is pleased with the response and involvement by interested citizens as 56 horticulture enthusiasts have completed th§ course in the past three years from Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock. Fauquier and Orange counties,according to a spokesman. Sounds Continued from page B-1 has made popular, the years and the producers. He catalogues them alphabetically on the shelves, each sleeve wearing a color band containing its “vital statistics,” including style, recording date, the artist and other facts. Most of the vinyl discs are dated by Pierson’s artistic hand. While he admits some may be cracked, broken or chipped, they all play and they all “have pretty good sound. Like this one here,” he pulls another disc, dating back to the turn of the century. His familiarity with each author, publishing company and time of production becomes a mental encyclopedia — a guided tour to accompany each disc. Though he says he spends little time among the stacks — he explains most of his time is spent reproducing the original recordings onto tapes for marketing — it’s hard to imagine his absences from the corridors of sound. His business, Sounds of a Century, sells, nationwide and internationally, 60-minute cassette tapes of vintage music — such as tapes of one artist, of one era, of one style, and others — to other collectors, novice collectors, people giving birthday or wedding anniversary parties, and just plain individuals nostalgic for sounds of a faraway time. And while his collection is mostly recordings made before 1950, he finds his clients mostly under the age of 30. “From which 1 can tell, a lot of them are college students,” he said, adding he found that often the audiences for his radio shows were the same. Beginning in 1979, Mr. Pierson began his short-lived career as a disc-jockey for various stations. With no formal, professional training except his love and knowledge of his material, Mr. Pierson would spin records at local stations. James Madison University’s student-run station, Warrenton's Big K, the former WEER in Warrenton and WAMU in Washington, D.C. have all aired programs hosted by Mr. Pierson. “My recordings never left the basement,” he said of his prize possessions, explaining each program was pre-planned and tapes were made of the recordings to be aired. “I usually did it by day or event,” he said, adding if it was someone’s birthday — like A1 Jolson — he would feature most of the music from that artist. “Back then,” Mr. Pierson said with some nostalgia, “they used to write a song at the drop of a hat. They had songs for every day of the week, politicial events, national events, unhappy or happy events," he said, naming songs written for various past ocassions. “They don’t do that anymore,’’ he said, adding the same show with modern music would not be quite possible. While his love for e«Ci disc in las basement is obvious, his special attention is devoted to ihe 1920 and 1930’s. “That was the golden era,” he said. “You have to hear it. You will feel the same," he said with pride, explaining that at that time there was little conformity among artists or studios; each musician performed as an individual. “Those that were famous in the ’20’s were famous a lifetime,” he said, drawing attention to stars like A1 Jolson, Eddie Canter and others. “They were mega-stars,” he said in comparision to our superstars of today. ' Superstars of today do not interest Mr. Pierson, though he said he does buy Country Gentlemen albums and has listened to The Judds. “The flavor is right but the tempos are all wrong.” His basement collection, 'the “cream of the crop,” as he refers to it, also includes recordings from around the world — foreign language recordings from as far away as Brazil and Russia. “It’s amazing,” he said, carefully replacing another disc in its sleeve. “The names are forgotten, but the songs go on. They keep the artist alive. People always remember the music.” Computer repair course offered The NIRE Computer School in Tysons Comer has announced a new Personal Computer Repair course. The six-week course is designed to train students on the general repair of IBM compatible personal computers.

Fall is best time to fertilize, reseed lawn BLACKSBURG — For most of us, this time of year brings a welcome end to tedious lawn chores, but don’t throw in that garden hoe quite yet, says a Virginia Cooperative Extension turf specialist. Fall is the ideal time for many lawn chores most folks think are best done in the spring. “Lawn fertilization is something most people think they ought to do in the spring, but that’s really not the proper time,” said Jack Hall, Extension turf grass specialist at Virginia Tech. During the spring and summer, when sunlight is abundant, grass spends most of its energy generating leaf tissue, Mr. Hall said. That means any fertilizer you give it only helps to grow leaf tissue — it doesn’t get used to develop the vital root system. In the late fall, however, grass doesn’t have the sunlight to grow leaf tissue, so it pours its energy into the roots. “When we get serious about trying to maximize root development, we fertilize in the fall, between September and December,” Mr. Hall said. “Fertilizing especially in November and December provides nitrogen to the plant when it can’t effectively use it to grow leaf tissue. Instead, it uses it to grow roots.” A well-developed root system is important in grass because it helps your lawn stay green and healthy during dry weather, which is very common in Virginia, Mr. Hall said. “Most summers in June, July and August, we get into a deficit moisture situation, so root systems are more important than they might be in other parts of the country,” he said. You can find out how much fertilizer — which generally contains nitrogen, potassium and phosophorous — to apply to your lawn by having a soil test done. Your local Extension agent can provide the details on soil testing in Virginia, Mr. Hall said. Some lawns also may need lime, depending on the results of such a test. Fall is also the right time to reseed your lawn if it needs it, Mr. Hall said. “You get better moisture patterns in the fall than in the spring,” he said, “and you don’t have such a crabgrass problem. It also fits in well with your fertilization scheme — you can stimulate the new grass while you’re strengthening the root systems of existing grass.” Mr. Hall recommends reseeding anytime between Aug. 15 and Oct. 1 with a grass that matches the one in your lawn. The most common types in Virginia are tall fescue, bluegrass and bermudagrass, depending on the region. Again, the local Extension agent can help you determine what kind of grass you have and which varieties would be best for reseeding. Finally, don’t be too hasty in putting away your lawn mower, Mr. Hall said. You don’t want to go into the winter with grass any higher than three inches. “Long grass creates a canopy of disease,” he said. “It prevents air movement and traps moisture near the ground, providing what we call an inoculation chamber for winter turf disease.” Place seedling orders now The Department of Forestry is now accepting seedling orders for the spring planting season. Landowners should place their orders soon since some species sell out fast. This year, there are nearly 30 different tree species and wildlife food shrubs available for sale. A wildlife package containing 100 seedlings of various trees and shrubs is also offered. The number of species available this year represents the widest selection ever offered by the Department of Forestry. Both hardwoods and evergreens can be ordered. The seedlings are sold in bundles of 25 to 1,000 depending on the species. The seedlings are grown in Department of Forestry nurseries located in Augusta, New Kent, and Sussex counties. Locally grown seedlings coupled with the network of cold storages across the state assures the shipment of fresh, viable seedlings. It also insures that the seedlings will be acclimated to growing in Virginia. The seedlings can be planted for a variety of purposes. These include timber production, erosion control, Christmas trees, sight and sound barriers, and improvement of wildlife habitat. To determine the best species for a particular planting purpose, contact the Department of Forestry office. They can offer suggestions on recommended species, seedling spacing, preparing the planting site, and the best planting method. Also, available government cost-share programs for which a planting site might quality can be discussed. Anyone interested in the seedling sales and reforestation program can contact the Department of Forestry by calling (703) 948-5341 or by writing to Department of Forestry, P.O. Box 48, Madison, VA 22727. If calling, the best time to reach someone in the office is from 8:45 to 9 a.m. Almanack forecasts bad winter The 1991 “Hagers-Town Town and Country Almanack” is just reaching the newsstands this week. This will be the Almanack’s 194th continuous year of publication. The Almanack, known for its weather predictions that are made 18 months in advance, also discusses the results of seven years of collecting woolly bears and how they have done predicting winters. The Almanack publishes the up and down signs of the moon, tells one the best days of each month to plant, weed and harvest crops as well as go fishing to catch that “big one.” Also the Almanack gives many, many hints for the housewife, handyman, farmer and gardener as well as astronomical information. The Almanack’s weather prognosticator, Professor William E. O’Toole, a Mount St. Mary’s College computer instructor, predicts a fairly mild year overall marked by a few storms and warm temperatures. For the winter of 1990-1991 which covers a 126-day period from Nov. 27, 1990 to April 1, 1991, we ' can expect 100 cold days, 58 wet days and 22 cyclonic storms. Snow this winter should be below normal levels (35 inches) and Prof. O’Toole has predicted only 26 inches of the white stuff. The first sign of snow will be in the form of light snow showers Nov. 11. There will be some more light snow showers the next several weeks and the first snow fall of any accumulation should be Dec. 23 and 24. “That’s right, we should have a very nice white Christmas,” according to Prof. O’Toole. Temperatures for November, January and March should be normal and more on the warmer side this winter. However, December and February are predicted to be very cold and below the normal. With regard to precipitation, Prof. O’Toole predicts a very wet spring as March, April and May will be very rainy. Except for those three months, we can expect 1991 to be normal and more on the drier side than the past several years. In August. Prof. O’Toole feels there .will be a dry spell and very warm temperatures. Therefore, if you’re planning to go to the beach, August 1991 is most likely the month to go. He feels the dry spell and warm temperatures in August will come too late to have any adverse affect on farm crops. Prof. O’Toole started forecasting the weather for the Almanack in 1970. Over the past 21 years, his predictions have been 65 percent correct.

Seminars focus on taxes, residential real estate The importance of taxes in a real estate transaction continues to grow. Young couples need to know how tax savings effect their monthly mortgage payment. The older couple selling their home need to know the tax exclusion and postponement rules. Everyone selling needs to know the Capital Gain rules and an investor is concerned with passive loss rules and how to save taxes with a Tax Free Exchange. Ed Horan, of Haymarket, the 1990 winner of the Real Estate Educators Association award for the Best Single Education Program, will present three of his award winning seminars in November. The seminars are given at the National Institute of Real Estate (NIRE) Tysons Corner Education Center, 1880 Howard Ave. in Vienna. The first seminar “Selling Residential Investment Real Estate after Tax Reform” will be given on NIRE offers real estate classes A recent change in Virginia law will require all new real estate agents to complete 60 hours of “Principles of Real Estate” before they can take the state examination or obtain their license.
