O □jumping fee now in effect By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors voted Monday to accept the recommendation of the landfill committee and start charging for accepting tires and brush at the landfill. The fees will be $1 for a car or light truck tire, $2 each for other truck tires, and $5 each for tractor tires. For brush, the fees will be $5 for a pickup truck load, $20 for a singleaxle truck load, and $35 for a doubleaxle truck load. It costs the county $1.75 to have a tire removed from the landfill, and the brush has to be burned. Counties in other jurisdictions have been charging for tires and brush, and the supervisors felt that tires and brush from outside the county were being brought to our landfill because Rappahannock has not charged for these items. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson said, “It sounds like a good deal just looking at it, but I think if we start charging for tires at the landfill with the other dumpsters open, they will end up there or along the roads.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said, “What you’ve got is trucks coming to the landfill with 100 to 200 tires on them and then the county has to pay to have them picked up.” “We should try this and see how it works,” Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey said. “We might end up with the tires at Scrabble and Huntly.” “The people we’ve got to stop are the garages,” Col. Bingham said. “If they’re charging $2 to take the tires, they shouldn’t be allowed to dump See FEES, p. A-6 Consolidation of Social Services offices proposed By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer ■ The position of Director Of Social Services for Rappahannock County, currently held by Beverly Bowen, will be eliminated under a proposed state consolidation plan. < A letter to County Administrator John McCarthy from Howard ><Cullum, Secretary of Health and Human Resources, under a letterhead from the Office of the Governor, stated that that the state will not force localities to consolidate, but will not allow state or federal monies to be used to reimburse localities for salaries for administrative positions unless the localities have at least one and a half percent of the total state caseload. Rappahannock is exploring th^ possibility of consolidating its Social Services department with Culpeper’s, Mr. McCar thy told the Board of Supervisors at its regular monthly meeting Monday. Under the proposed plan, the local office will remain Open, and local eligibility and caseworker positions will not be affected, Mr. Cullum’s letter states. The state expects to save $2 million from the administrative consolidation. School Superintendent David Gangel also presented the supervisors with estimates of how expected cutbacks in state aid for the schools will affect Rappahannock. He gave them copies of revenue estimates from all sources for the schools. Without an increase in local taxes going to the schools, the budget for next year would have to be $72,079 less than this year’s according to this printout. State funds are shown as $57,789 lower for next year; federal funds as $8,187 higher, and other funds as $17,735 lower. The main cuts in state funds come chiefly in the area of reimbursement for fringe benefits for teachers and reductions for funding for the Piedmont Vocational Center. The main reason for the lower estimate for other funds is an expected reduction in sales tax revenue. Dr. Gangel pointed out that the figures are only estimates at this point and do not include the widely rumored five percent reduction in overall state funds that might reduce income to the county to operate schools by another $63,560. “This school division’s goal is to continuously improve,” Dr. Gangel told the supervisors. “This year that is tempered by a large dose of reality.” He promised to keep the supervisors informed as more reliable information becomes available. The supervisors agreed to enter into a contract with Centel to provide E-911 service to the county. The contract stipulates that Centel will not expect funding until it is available through the surtax on telephone bills. Ken Bartels of Centel said that the $175,259 contract calls for the county to lease the equipment for the service from Centel, which will order the equipment to be custom made for Rappahannock County. The contract price does not include the cost of naming roads and numbering all the houses in the coqjity. Mr. Bartels said he would expect the system to go on-line during the summer of 1992, which is about the same time that Culpeper will have an E-911 system. He said there would be a saving to the county if Rappahannock could install its system See COMBINE, p. A-6 Bleu Rock's sign fails on split vote The Board of Supervisors split two to two with one abstention on a vote on the sign for the Bleu Rock Inn. Architect Steve Biegel, representing Bleu Rock’s owners, Bernard and Jean Campagne, told the supervisors they should not consider the wall that the sign is on as 4 part of the sign. He said the wall is a retaining wall that is being built for landscaping purposes and that his clients are willing to scale back the size of the actual sign on the wall to 2v square feet. (Signs in an agricultural district are allowed to be up to 20 square feet in size.) County Administrator John McC^hy told the supervisors they could approve the sign as necessary for the inn, which was allowed in an agrucultural district aS^a special exception. He said they could consider the fact that\he sign is set back 100 feet from the road once the four-laning is complete as a mitigating factor. However, he said, “I’m not in faftr of disregarding the structure the sign is on. The only funcfln of the structure is to hold the sign.” Jft Jackson District representative EM Bingham said he had received several calls from people whtfielt the sign should be allowed. “The people in the county wouldlike to see it,” he said. “They feel the inn has been a worthwhile addition to the county. I feel it falls in with the tourist'concept of the county everyone is for. I have no objection to it. It’s no more than many large farms have at their entrances.” “I’m leery about comments that tfce applicant is a good member of the community,” Mr. McCarthy said. “If you’re going to approve it, it should be because it is 100 feet from the road.” Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson said, “I could feel better about it without the rock on top.” > Mr. Biegel said the “Bleu Rock” logo tould be on both ends of the 20 square foot sign, and he again insisted they should consider the sign separate from the wall issie.

The days will begin to be longer and we can, once more, look forward to spring. Survival: Keep your car equipped for winter emergencies. Batteries should be in top-notch condition. Keep gas lines from freezing with an additive, and remember road surfaces, especially those on bridges, can be treacherous.

Farm Bill restrictions leave subsidies less appealing BLACKSBURG — Most farm-. ers will probably decide it’s not worth participating in government programs when they see the provisions of the 1990 Farm Bill, according to a Virginia Cooperative Extension agricultural economist. “Right now about 50 percent of total base acreage is enrolled in government programs,” said Jim Pease, Extension economist at Virginia Tech. “I wouldn’t be surprise to see that drop to 33 percent or less. We already see farmers coming to the conclusion that it’s not worth participating when target prices (a type of government subsidy) are frozen.” Money for agricultral programs was cut 25 percent, or by $13.6 billion, Mr. Pease said. Much of that money was cut from direct payment programs, where farmers receive money directly from the government when they enroll some of their acreage in commodity programs, such as those for com, wheat and soybeans. The cuts in those programs probably will force some producers to change crops or to discontinue farm ing altogether, Mr. Pease said. “If a farmer is debt-ridden already, this will make their position even more precarious,” he said. “This will likely drive many marginal producers out of wheat and feed grains.” The government also changed the way it will run direct payment programs, installing a “triple base” set-up. Under triple base, a farmer who participates in a government program receives less in direct payments but is granted more flexibility in what he can plant on governmentenrolled acres. Under the old Farm Bill, a farmer planted so many acres of the crop he “signed up” for, and then left a certain percentage fallow. With triple base, farmers can use some enrolled land to grow any crop they choose. Carlton Courter, president of the Virginia Agribusiness Council, said such flexibility is a good thing, but that the timing may be bad. “We encouraged flexibility in those programs some years back,” he said, “But with the Persian Gulf crisis and a looming national reces fj \Tgj/ "Jfry \^= You NEED Music Christmas Music on tape ' (AKIY FEVER ItOOKS Get the whole family in the spirit with our great selection of Christmas music ( (and while you're here, you can do your Christmas shopping.) v Main Street, Washington, Va. / 703-675-1300 * THE FRIDAY NIGHT PLACE TO BE I Aberdeen Barn/Peppers Lounge] SEAFOOD BUFFET ALL-UCAN-EAT then DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF THE 50's & 60's Come out and enjoy the fun Ixjcatcd in the Holiday Inn of Culpeper Rt. 29 South • 825-1037 CHOOSE & CUT A BEAUTIFUL WHITE PINE Christmas Tree at Moose Hill Farm Slate Mills Complimentary hot cider and cookies.

Other1 groups of Virginia farmers — namelyupeanut and dairy farmers — saw their programs change little. Peanut farmers db not receive any direct monetary payments from the government, so their program was spared any budget cut, Mr. Pease explained “The > only change is that there is now a 1 (percent service fee on the peanut program, and the object of that is to get farmer recipients to pay part of the cost of running the program,” he said. Almost all programs will include a similar assessment, Mr. Pease noted. i For dairy farmers, the program came out even better than expected, Mr. Courter said, although Virginia’s dairy producers are leery that the ax may fall yet. The government held steady, rather than continued to decrease, the price floor for dairy support prices. And as things stand . now, those prices will remain steady through 1995. “Dairy producers got more than was anticipated in that regard,” Mr. Courter said. In summary, the 1990 Farm Bill continues the trend of the 1985 Farm Bill with a move toward a more market-oriented agricultural policy, Mr. Pease said. “It’ll force farmers to rely more on what the market tells them to do than what the government tells them to do,” he said.

Two new bed and breakfasts approved By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals approved two new bed and breakfast establishments, but tabled action on a family apartment until the applicant can appear to answer questions. The first application considered was for a bed and breakfast at Douglas and Eloise Weavers’ Mountain View Farm on Route 707 near Slate Mills. The approval was for up to four rooms to be rented upstairs. The BZA members told Mr. Weaver they wanted him to come back for a revision to the special use permit if he wanted to also rent out a room in the basement once it is finished. The BZA members also approved a bed and breakfast for up to three rental rooms for Wayne and Dorothy Waller on Route 612 near Sperryville. For both applicants they asked specific questions about compliance with state Department of Health requirements for water supply and about providing screened parking for their customers. “With all the bed and breakfast accommodations we have, it could be that every time you looked around you would see 10 cars,” member Sid Gottlieb noted. They asked that the Wallers have the fence, driveway and parking finished by May 1. When the BZA moved to the application of Philip and Elizabeth Johnson for a family apartment for Mr. Johnson’s brother, Mr. Gottlieb noted, “This is the fourth time Mr. Johnson has not been here. If he’s not here I don’t see passing this. It sets a bad precedent.” The application was tabled until the BZA’s next regular meeting, which is scheduled for Monday Dec. 31. a___prrsii:; ^IcHipnimKHOLLoy^— Special Christmas Evening [ at j Chipmunk Hollow Interiors of Sperryville j You are cordially invited to our special Christmas l evening of shopping for Rappahannock residents between j the hours of 5p.m. - 9p.m., Friday, December 7.

Editorial A Christmas list As the holidays approach, most of our neighbors are busy planning parties, dinners, visits with family and friends, becoming swept up in the spirit of the season. Many, too, are making out their holiday shopping lists — both for others and for themselves. We’ve got a couple of suggestions to tack on to the bottom of those lists, along with the family and friends. First, consider a gift to the county’s Department of Social Services. The employees there are organizing their annual food drive for the needy, and will appreciate any donation of non-perishable foods to fill the baskets that will be distributed to the county’s neediest families. Cash donations are also being accepted, which will be used to buy turkeys for the holiday baskets. There is a greater need this season than in years past, according to Social Services workers, since the downturn in the economy has begun to show up as an increase in unemployment and cutbacks of temporary workers. Second, don’t forget your local volunteer fire and rescue department. The volunteers work hard all year to provide emergency services to their communities. On top of the training and drills necessary to maintain their skills, and responding to the actual emergency calls, most volunteers spend extra time helping their department raise the money to keep it operating. Even if you contribute during the department’s regular fundraising activities, we’re sure that a little something extra at Christmas time will be appreciated by the volunteers. Those are merely two suggestions to add to the Christmas list. There are many other organizations that serve various segments of our community — and all will appreciate a holiday donation.

Plan makes holiday less expensive By ELAINE SCOTT Extension Finance Specialist Many of us are very good at budgeting throughout ihe year but we go wild at Christmas time. If we want to spend more at Christmas, we should adequately plan for it. Look at what kinds of things we buy for Christmas "presents. We often buy very utilitarian items such as appliances or tools, or we buy things that we know the person would not buy themselves such as perfume or gadgets. We also buy lots of clothing. Look at these presents from a family budget standpoint. Consider how much discretionary income the family has. Hopefully the family has set aside some money for holiday spending. Budget this carefully. Make a list of all the people you are buying for an upper limit on the amount to be spent. Also note some items you are considering for each person. Then stick to your list. Once you have bought a gift for that person, cross off the name. Don’t keep buying one more little gift jftst because you happened to find something. You want to have enough money to buy gifts for Everyone on your list and you probably don’t want to give Aunt Suzie a cashmere sweater and Uncle Harry a,/iail file. It’s usually important to eVspn out the gifts. What if you haven’t saved enough monejg Credit card usage rises dramatically during the holiday time. Keep track of the amount you charge. Don’t charge more than you can pay in three months. Anyone who is still paying Christmas expenses in April certainly overspent in December. Consider the amounts budgeted in each expense category. Some of this money could be used for holiday giving and still provide the needed items for the family. If the washer/dryer needs to be replaced, is Christmas really the appropriate time to buy this and who gets the gift, (mom or dad)? Does mom really want a hand blender/mixer or is it just the popular item on the TV commercials?. Think about the gifts you buy and the purpose they serve in the household. Personal gifts are things that one person will really enjoy. Family gifts are things that benefit the whole household. Personal gifts are very appropriate at Christmas. Family gifts may or may not be. Consider if these large items are on sale. Christmas time may not bring you the best buys on these items. Most families budget a certain amount of money each year on clothing and personal care items. The family may decide to spend a big chunk of that clothing budget at Christmas time. This will usually work out well. We often see some items on sale around the holidays so we can get some good buys. When giving the gift, save the receipts. Put the receipts in a sealed envelope in the bottom of the box. If the item doesn’t fit, the person can easily exchange it. Be sure to look at warranties and guarantees for the items you give. Here, the receipts are important. If the person must return the item for defects, the receipts will prove when the item was purchased. Concentrate on being a good consumer. Just because it’s Christmas, doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t budget wisely. Shop around and stay within your budget.

Op-Ed Manley doesn't deserve another chance Poor Dexter Manley. He’s been reinstated by the National Football League. But he remains disappointed that the Washington Redskins waived him. Dexter is disappointed. He wanted to play for the Skins again — his team of nine years and three Super Bowl appearances. Instead, he will play for the Phoenix Cardinals, who picked Manley up after he was passed over by Washington, the New England Patriots and the Cleveland Browns. The three teams that waived Manley are apparently the only parties to this mess that have any sense at all. NFL Commissioner Paul Taglikbue has apparently taken leave of his senses, reinstating Manley after serving one year of a lifetime banishment from professional football for three times failing random drug tests. Dexter is understandably happy at the prospect of being allowed to play professional football again. Given his great skills at the game, the commissioner’s largesse was, for Dexter, a second chance at life. Unfortunately, Dexter has already had three chances, and he’s blown every one. When he was banned for life last year, Manley became the fourth player subjected to football’s most stringent penalty. The ban followed his third positive drug test. Why does Manley deserve yet anothei chance? He knew the rules when he became t player and when he failed the tests. He chose tc break the rules, and he should face the consequences of his action. The commissioner’s reversal of the lifetime ban after only one year marks the shortest perioc a player has been suspended after failing three drug tests. Two of the other three, Charles White and Tony Collins, made successful comebacks. Dexter Manley is happy about his reinstate ment. I’m not. It seems to me that, once again, our society it sending a mixed message to our young people. Or the one hand, we tell them that drugs are bad From my choir. . . by Lou Hotter and that those who abuse drugs — eveftfirst-time offenders — will be punished severely. - Then, Dexter Manley gets his football career back after serving one year of a lifetinje ban as a three-time loner at the league’s drug-testing pro% gram. . Granted, Manley was not caught avith drugs in his possession, and he was never charged with a criminal offense involving drug use or distribution. However, a positive test for drugs is, to me, prima facie evidence that the person used drugs. Such tests are, on occasion, unreliable, but in this case the result was not challenged. Meanwhile, judges are sending young black kids from America’s inner cities to jail for years for possession of drugs. They are not likely to get a reprieve from Commissioner Tagliabue — or anyone else — after serving only one year. They are far more likely to be beaten and abused, leaving prison as hardened criminals with little likelihood of a life beyond crime. But three-time loser Manley,' who by the lucky possession of physical skills worth a lot of money on the gridiron — but practically worthless anywhere else — will get a fourth chance. And not only that, he will be paid $30,000 a week for the four games he will play during the rest of the regular season. Thirty thousand dollars a week! — that’s more than some of those young black kids can probably reasonably expect to earn in a year (legally, anyway) in their entire lives. What is wrong with our society, anyway? Why doesn’t Commissioner Tagliabue have the courage to tell Manley, “Sorry, Dexter, but you messed up. You messed up not once, not twice, but three times. We’re sorry, but you can’t come back again.” Manley, when asked about the possible double standard being set by his reinstatement, said (according to the Washington Post), “That’s what this country is about: giving people chances. I’m an American, I deserve a chance at life.” That’s true. Dexter Manley does deserve a chance at life. ■ But Dexter already had three chances at football. He blew it all three times. I grew up as the son of a baseball writer, so that sport was, and remains, my first love. In baseball, you get three strikes and you’re out. That rule ought to be good enough for footBsll as well — at least as far as the league’s drug testing policy is concerned. The threat of a lifetime ban' will become meaningless, and its effectiveness as a deterent will be gone, if players continue to be allowed to return to professional sports after breaking the rules —especially serious infractions like drug use. I’m not going to argue the question of whether sports figures are, or ought to be, held up as role models for our youth. More to the point, they are highly visible members of our society. When they are treated more leniently than those who, by accident of birth, remain less fortunate, our society suffers. Perhaps making Dexter Manley an example is unfair. Far less fair, to me, is allowing him to return after serving a penalty that amounts to a slap on the wrist. I hope, for his sake, that Dexter Manley has beaten his demons, and his comeback succeeds. I wish, for society’s sake,1 that we Had not been given the opportunity to find out. Farm Bureau opposes mandates from Richmond The president of Virginia’s largest farm organization is calling on state government to either intrude less into rural Virginians’ lives in 1991 or give them the resources to carry out these mandates. C. Wayne Ashworth told delegates to the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation Annual Convention in Roanoke Nov. 27 that mandates from the General Assembly and Congress are costing rural Virginians much-needed tax dollars. “Farm Bureau believes all state and federal mandated programs such as The Chesapeake Bay Protection Act and state education initiatives should be fully paid for by the governments that order them,” Mr. Ashworth said. “Our town and county treasuries simply do not have the revenues to pay for these programs ordered from on high.” In addition to concerns over state-ordered environmental protection programs or education improvements, Mr. Ashworth said Farm Bureau members are worried about legislators meddling in the health insurance field.

Day REALTOR DID YOU SAY 40-YR. MORTGAGE? If you think a 5 or 10-year auto loan is a long time to pay off a car, get ready for the 40-year home mortgage. Its just popping its head over the horizon now. Climbing real estate values are forcing some borrowers to stretch home loan payments beyond the conventional 15 or 30-year periods. So far, these 40-year mortgages have caught on only in such high-priced real estate markets as: California, Mew York, and Washington, D.C. However, if home prices continue upward, longer term mortgages may spread. If the 40-year mortgage becomes more popular, it should be treated gingerly - as a last resort for folks anxious to own a home at any price. That crucially lower monthly payment may sometimes make the difference for certain buyers to qualify for a loan. However, you'll pay for the opportunity with a decade of extra interest expense. This could be a lot - like $60,000 on a $100,000 loan. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEM M.

Combine Continued from page A-1 at the same time Culpeper is installing a similar system. The contract calls for the county to pay Centel 10 percent of the contract price after six months, another 30 percent after one year, another 30 percent after 18 months and the remaining 30 percent upon acceptance of the system or when the money is available. In addition the county will have to spend about $100,000 for aerial photography and mapping and as signing street names and numbers to all the houses in the county, Mr. McCarthy said. The $2 per phone line surtax enacted to pay for the E-911 system generates about $72,000 per year. The supervisors also voted to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Park Service for shared police jurisdiction in the Shenandoah National Park. Larry Hakel, Chief Park Ranger, said the federal government wants to retrocede jurisdiction back to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The 1942 law which gives the Park Service exclusive jurisdiction will be repealed. He said the park had been nego tiating also with the State Police and Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and wished to have a memorandum of understanding with all the counties contiguous to the park. Madison and Greene counties have declined to sign, he said. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said that the county had cpncems that there might be increased cost with the increased law enforcement, but that the memorandum states that the county will not be expected to take on additional police duties if manpower is not available. “As a practical matter, if we decide not to sign, jurisdiction will be retroceded and we won’t have any say,” he said. ^Rappahannock Business & Service Directory 703/675-3338 Only $3.75 per week for a 1 inch space!

They don’t have much time in the boundary areas. Most of our activity is akrng Skyline Drive.” In other acfjan the Board of Supervisors: • Approved Extension Agent Thomas Williams’s recommendation to declare a disaster in the county in this year’s fruit crop. Mr. Williams noted that with the tight money situation in the state, he did not anticipate that there would be much help available, but that there might be some low cost loans available to farmers. He said that the peach crop was totally lost this year, and that the apple crop was also much lower than normal becuase of cold weather. * • Voted to readvertise the zoning amendments adopted last month. Mr. McCarthy said that the vote had been more than 21 days after the last advertisement. The amendments will have to be voted on again at the January meeting. • Met C. Eldon Taylor, the new director of the Chapter X Community Services Board. • Learned that the final cost for the jail addition, not including some kitchen equipment was $230,120.50, and that meals will be served from the new kitchen starting the first of January. Sign Continued from page A-1 purpose of the wall is to hold the sign. You don’t need a retaining wall.” Mr. Beigel said the wall “supports the axis of orientation. ” The Planning Commission felt this sign would be “very appropriate for the Apple Blossom Mall,” Mr. Massie said. Col. Bingham said, “From the calls I’ve gotten the restaurant is a welcome addition to the county. It blends in with the intent to get tourists into the county.” He made a motion to approve the sign “in concept” with the owners scaling down the sign itself to 20 square feet. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey said, “You could put a retaining wall there and come back later and ask for a sign. ” Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said, “I find it hard to leave the 20 square foot standard. I think there are ways you could do this with a 20 square foot sign.” “Here’s another twist,” Mr. Massie suggested. “There are a number of businesses in the county that are involved with tourists. If you start in Amissville with signs like this, you’ll lose the tourist business.” Mr. Biegel said that the supervisors had approved a special exception for the business in 1985. “An agricultural sign limit for a commercial establishment is inappropriate. With a special exception you’re not held to 20 square feet. You could allow a 120 square foot sign.” The Campagnes said that many of their customers miss the sign now on the road and travel all the way to Sperry ville looking for the inn. On the vote to approve the sign if the sign itself, not counting the wall, is reduced to 20 square feet, Col. Bingham and Mr. Gilkey voted yes. Mr. Massie and Mr. Estes voged no, and Mr. Anderson abstained. “I don’t know what to tell you,” Mr. Gilkey said to the Campagnes. “We’ll proceed with the landscaping plan and come in about the sign later,” Mr. Beigel replied. Fees Continued from page A-1 them for free and the county pays to have them removed. And the brush-you see truck after truck of brush coming into the county that ends up in our landfill.” Mr. Anderson asked to receive periodic reports on how the system is working. The landfill will not accept tires still on the rims, stumps, or masonry construction debris. VABF seminar focus on soil The Virginia Association of Biological Farmers Fall seminar will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on Dec. 8 at the Robert E. Lee Episcopal Church, 123 West .Washington Street in Lexington. VABF is a statewide organization |pf farmers, gardeners and. consumers interested in the promotion of sustainable, ecologically sensitive agriculture. The seminar is open to the public and admission is free. The basis of life is a living soil, and the purpose of this seminar is to take an in-depth look at the living soil - its air, water, organic matter, and minerals. All of these h,ave to be carefully and knowledgeably managed. What does healthy doil need? how does one build it? what signs (good or bad) should one watch for? Through the knowledge and experiences of two of VABF’s most successful eco-farmers, Reid Putney of Red Gate Farm and Joel Salatin of Polyface Inc., the requirements for building and maintaining a healthy, fertile soil will be examined. Both men are livestock farmers in the Shenandoah Valley. Through study, trial and error each has developed a working system of soil management. Joel Salatin is a third-generation organic farmer with roots in the Midwest. His parents purchased the 550-acre farm in Augusta County in 1961, now known as Polyface Inc. Epitomizing a worn-out piece of ground, the farm had 14-foot deep gullies and bare shale bedrock spread over large areas. A drastic conservation effort, which included fencing out woodland, reforestation, excavation and other practices, began to heal the land. Joel’s father, William experimented with portable buildings (veal, rabbit, poultry and cattle), as well as portable electric fencing and unconventional hay feeding systems. Today, the second generation farm features refinements derived over many years of trial and error. Intensive controlled grazing where 30,000 pounds of liveweight per acre is common has produced fields yielding 400 cow days of perennial polycultures per annum. Forested acres yield chips which serve as the carbon base for deep bedding during hay feeding and large scale spring composting so that manure neither vaporizes nor leaches. A portable loafing shelter spreads pasture droppings. A portable laying hen house with free range chickens sanitizes paddocks following cattle shifts and spreads around pasture droppings. Portable 120 square foot chicken pens provide the production backbone for a homegrown broiler enter prise that sold 6500 birds this year. The range-raised chickens eat 30 percent less grain than conventional confinement birds and further increase pasture fertility. “We believe soil fertility can be achieved through the synergism of biodiversity and careful management without costly inputs and heavy machinery,” Mr. Salatin said. Reid and Betty Putney have been farming ecologically at Red Gate Farm for the past 12 years, and for 12 years in Bedford County prior to moving to BrownsbUrg. Their greates emphasis is on the importance of maintaining a fertile, living soil. Red Gate Farm consists of approximately 130 acres, of which 45 acres is in hay and grain rotation, 65 acres in pasture, and 20 acres is managed for timber and wildlife.. The farm is located near Fairfield, Virginia. Their herd of purebred, registered Red Poll cattle (a minor breed known for its gentle disposition, great milking ability and rapid growth), is sold as breeding stock, as well as providing processed beef for sale to individuals. Sides and quarters of beef are sold by reservation only. Individual cuts, hot dogs, and bologna are stocked, frozen, at the farm. Safety tips ensure joyful holiday Each year thousands of families mark the holidays as a time of tragedy instead of joy duetto deadly fires. The real tragedy is that most of these fires can be prevented. The Virginia Department of Emergency Services offers the following checklist to help you and your family enjoy a happy and safe holiday season. Electrical fires occur throughout the year, but during the holidays, they increase sharply. Don’t overload your outlets and circuits. Most of us use the same Christmas lights year after year. Check them carefully each year and repair or replace those with worn or frayed cords. Also, use care when placing these decorations, especially in windows where curtains can ignite easily. It’s best not to leave decorative lights on all night. You can buy a relatively inexpensive timer which will turn your lights on and off automatically. Candles should be carefully placed and never left unattended. Burning candles on a Christmas tree is very dangerous, even if you stay in the room. Trees dry out quickly and can ignite before you are able to take action. A live tree should be bought as fresh as possible. Hold the tree upright and thump the base on the ground a few times; if the needles fall off, the tree has begun to dry. Before you mount your tree in a stand, cut an inch or two off‘the bottom so it will absorb water more easily. Always keep the base of the tree in water and check it daily. (Evaporation can be slowed by adding beer to the water.) Place your tree away from fireplaces, radiators, and other sources of heat to slow the drying process. Dispose of your tree soon after the holidays, before it drys out. Take it outside to dump or designated trash pickup area. Don’t burn your tree indoors in a fireplace or fumance. If you buy an artificial tree, be sure it is flame-resistant. Remember, these trees only resist fire; ultimately they will bum. Also, the fumes generated by a smoldering artificial tree can be just as deadly as an actual fire. It’s best to use the same care with an artificial tree as with a live one. Finally, if you don’t have a smoke detector, get one. If you have one, make sure it works. And smoke detectors make great gifts! Latin teams score in state tourney Both Level I Wakefield Certa-' men teams took first place in the Virginia Junior Classical League State Certamen that was held at Flint Hill School on Nov. 10.

Leake predicts Panthers will Surprise district Team will field strong mix of lettermen, newcomers By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After missing a berth in the regional tournament by one game last year, Coach Gary Leake’s Rappahannock Panther basketball team rebounded more determined than ever. The team has returned seven players from last year’s 14-8 season, including two starters and five lettermen who saw a lot of action last year. To those veterans, Coach Leake has added seven new players, and he promises a new brand of basketball for the Panthers this season. “We’ve got speed, and good outside shooters,” Coach Leake said, ’ and consequently he plans to modify the team’s strategy to take advantage of those assets. Gone this season with the graduation of center Julian Groves is the Panthers strong inside game, but the coach said that has been replaced by strong outside shooting and the quickest team he has coached in four years. “Each year it is the coach’s responsibility to make alterations to meet what the team is best at. We don’t have a dominating power forward inside, so we have worked our strategy to exploit our strengths.” A benefit of that change, Coach Leake added, is that opponents will be seeing Rappahannocks 1-3-1 “scattergun” offense for the first time. “For the past four years, we’ve done pretty much the same thing. It worked in one way, but it was pretty easy for opponents to prepare for us. They knew what we were going to do.” This year will be different, he said. The “scattergun” forces opponents to play a man-to-man defense, creating one-on-one scoring opportunities, particularly for a strong outside shooting team like the Panthers. Coach Leake said he plans to exploit the three-point line to the maximum this season, takin advantage of his team’s outside shooting talents. “Basketball is really changing,” he said. Gone are the days of the power forwards, who drove inside for consistent shots, then fought for rebounds under the boards. “The addition of the three-point line has really changed things, and we are going to incorporate that into our game plan. That forces the defense to play man-to-man, which creates more opportunities for mistakes. They can’t sit back in a zone defense anymore.” On defense, the Panthers plan to ■ Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter PANTHER CAPTAIN James Roy take($ an outside jump shot during pre-season practice. The Panthers begin their season Saturday night with a home game against Luray. use an aggressive man-to-man press, relying on zone defense only against teams with weak outside games, Coach Leake said. “My players are in excellent shape, and they want to play a good, hard, aggressive defense.” He predicted the strong outside game, coupled with the team’s speed, will create more free throw opportunities. “We are so quick, teams are going to have to foul us to stop us.” The team is practicing free throw shooting every day, and Coach Leake said the goal is to keep the charity percentage in the 70s. Last year, he recalled, in six of the team’s eight losses the margin was two points or less — and in those losses the Panthers shot less than 50 percent from the free throw line. h; So for, four of the five starting positions have been decided: Jason Butler,;, Paul Hitt, James Roy and Bobby Jenkins. The fifth spot, the powerfforward, is still up for grabs between Jack Pullen, Roger Brown and Dearl Cloud. The! Panthers open their regular season at home Saturday night with a game (against the Luray Bulldogs. Tipoff time for the junior varsity contest is 6 p.m., followed by varsity action beginning at 7:30 p.m. Next ^Tuesday evening, the two teams reprise their opening meeting with another game in Luray. On Friday, Dec. 14, the Panthers face the George Mason Mustangs at home at rchs. r. Though last year’s Panthers missed their season goal of appear li WARRENTON FARMER'S CO-OP TOE # GARDEN CENTER GARDEN! 143 Washington Street COUNCIL" 143 Washington Street Member Virginia Nurseryman's Association 347-7100 ing in the regional tournament at University Hall in Charlottesville, Coach Leake said this year’s team hopes to make the dream come true. But the team is also conscious of its shortcoming last season, and voted to wear black shoes and black practice jerseys this season so they would not forget. “It was their decision,” the coach said. “It’s not my favorite color, but if they think that black will help them — they can wear black. ” Wakefield's honor roll Wakefield School has announced that the following local students were named to the school’s honor rolls for the first eight-week grading period.

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Space — with its, changes, its nwements, and its boundaries — is the theme for several* the dances to be performed by the Last Minute Wood Company, choreographed by Sally Nash, this Saturday night, Dec. 8. “It is the story of evolution,” Ms. Nash said of the premeire dance, entitled, “Sanskrit,” a 20 minute movement using five dancers. “It is the story of evolution using animal types and movement to show how quickly weltake up space and move through it,” Ms. Nash said, dfding the choice of gymnasium was mainly for this dance as its movements are grand. And, with five dancers on the floor at once a large area was required. “There is no exiting or entrancing” of dancers, she explained. J Dancers for this piece are familiar Rappahannock faces. Underneath the yards and yaifls of flowing muslin type material, hand-painted and self-styled, is Flint Hill’s Nina Stamer, Washington’s Kim Doyle and Sperryville’s Shari Aveniles, James Madison University guest performer Debra Goff and Last Mimite Wood Company charter member Nan Reddick of Sperryville. Ms. Reddick is the company’s pnly originial member performing this time. She has been with the group since its inception in 1976. n Potters, gardeners, construction workers, and other artists all come together in this production, one of four dances performed. Besides ‘Sanskrit*, which premired in Washington D.C. in October and featured the same five dancers who will perform on Saturday in Rappahannock, several of the other works, all choregraphed by Ms. Nash, have not been performed in Rappahannock. “Mother’s Solo from Box 48,” performed by Deb Goff, is a solo from a larger, earlier choregraphed dance concerning letters from a mother. The second dance has likewise never been produced fof a Rappahannock audience though it was performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. by Cynthia Thompson and is titled, “A Woman’s Work.” Ms. Thompson, in a duet witih partner and colleague, Kate Trammell of James Madison University, also performs in the third piece, entitled, “Underpinnings.” Both women, co-directors of the dance company Thompson and Trammell, are guest performers for this dance. The last dance is “Sanskrit.” Costumes for this dance were handsewn by Deb Goff and Kim Doyle; hand-dying was done by Ms. Nash. Creation and design were aided by guest designer Sharon Wyrrick. “It’s very sheer material,” Ms. Nash said of the yards and yards of material used in the costumes for “Sanskrit.” “They are very hard to get into,” she said with a laugh, adding the yards and yards of free-flowing, yet shaped, material allows the dancers to take on many animal forms during their danc$. “They look like people as well as animals,” she said. Rappahannock News phoco/Cindy Mahan PERFORMING SALLY NASH’S new dance, “Sanskrit,” are Kim Doyle (left) and Shari Aveniles. Other dances use vintage clothing from the past to emphasize each character. Lighting is by Betsy Toth with music scores by Bob Read. “This is our favorite audience,” Ms. Nash said, adding the company has always performed one show in Rappahannock. “These are the people who follow my work and we never feel so appreciated as we do when we perform at home,” she added, saying even though this production involves many new faces, each is dedicated and talented. “I work with the ideas for about six months before I try them on the dancers,” she explained, adding the finished product using the dancers takes another six months of work. “Much of it is intuition,” she said of each dance movement. “You keep working and trying each movement on the dancers. You try every possible movement until it comes out right. “It takes an incredible amount of patience on the dancers’ part,” she said, adding their dedication is exhibited as they “become puppets as you try techniques and movement.” Ms. Nash has choreographed 21 productions organized by elementary school children, high school students, college and summer camp groups and community productions not only in this area but across the United States, including Vermont, California, Maryland, New Mexico as well as in rural Virginia. In 1976, she founded The Last Minute Wood Company and has since built a home studio for choreography, instructions, and productions. Tickets for the Saturday night production, which will begin at 8 p.m. in the elementary school gymnasium, can be purchased at the RAAC office or local ticket outlets.

McNear finds West Point challenging By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Jennifer McNear is midway through her first year as a West Point cadet. It has not been an easy year, but she does not regret her decision to go there. Her grandfather was a career Army officer, and her father went to West Point and spent ten years in the Army Corps of Engineers. But Jenny didn’t plan to go into the Army or go to West Point until her junior year in high school at Mercersburg Academy ip Pennsylvania when she started looking into colleges. “I was really impressed by the standards and facilities there,” she said. Jenny spent the summer betwfen her junior and senior years on a coast to coast bicycle trip. She was in a group of 62, and she was one of the youngest jn the group. “They were mostly college kids,” she said. She got a really strong feeling for the scope of the country she is planning to serve during that trip. During her senior year she applied to West Point. She had just found out that Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. planned to nominate her for appointment when a head injury during a skiing accident landed her in the University of Virginia hospital in a coma. She was in the hospital for several weeks, followed by months of physical therapy. She was able to return to high school and complete only her English course, but she graduated. After talking with her parents and academic advisers, she withdrew her application to \Gfest Point. , The summer after high school JeMiy went to Australia as part of a field hockey team with the Sports for Understanding exchange program and applied to attend James Madison University in Harrisonburg. She was accepted. , At JMU Jenny did well academically, played on the varsity field hockey teaiq, and applied for and received a ROTO scholarship, but she also reapplied to West Point. * She had to seek medical waivers. The type of head injury she had could have disqualified her for five years, she said, but her doctors wrote to West Point saying she was able to do the work both mentally and physically. “Just because I’m sun posed to have problems doesn’t mean I do,” she said. In fact, as far as Jenny is concerned the only residue of the skiing mishap isl that she cannot remember the accident it? self. Her mother says also her handwriting is more cramped than it was' before the' accident. Last spring Jenny learned she had been accepted at West Point. “I was really impressed by the standards..." CADET JENNIFER McNEAR, with the walls of West Point in the background. “God planned it that way,” Jenny said. “That year at JMU, the field hockey, ROTC, I learned a lot there. I probably needed that year before I went to West Point.” Now that she’s there, Jenny isn’t finding the academic work very difficult yet. “Maybe it will be,” she says, but so far much of her classwoftk is a repeat of classes she took last year. The physical conditioning isn’t that difficult either. She spent the summer at West Point in basic training, and “that was very, very hard,” she said. But now she only has to be able to pass a physical ( fitness test from time to time. “There’s so much activity, Pm getting plenty of exercise,” she said. She does sit ups and push ups daily. Jenny says she has not experienced any discrimination against her as a woman, but the hazing that all new cadets go through is difficult, though less so than in the past. “Hazing is changing at West Point,” she said. “There is a new Army ethic of professionalism. Each year they are doing away with more and more of the fourth class system. They aren’t supposed to call us Plebes any more; we’re fourth class. This year we don’t have to eat ‘square meals’ or ‘ping’ (square the corners) when we march. ” They are not allowed to talk with their classmates or address the upper classmen unless they are asked a question. Inside their rooms with the door closed they can socialize though. One of her classmates from high school is also at West Point, but a year ahead of her. “I know him from high school, but I can’t talk to him, and I have to call him ‘sir,’ ” she said. “The fourth class has to do all the work,” she said. “The purpose is to discipline yourself to always do what you have to do. “Being a plebe is no fun at all, but I wouldn’t quit. I know why I’m there, and I have a lot to learn,” she said. “I want to do the most I can for my country and serve,” she said. “It seems the best thing I could do is to be a career Army officer. ” Still she is looking forward to being an upper classman. “There are so many clubs and opportunities, but as a plebe you’re too busy doing fourth class duties. There are awesome athletic facilities. Everyone is looking forward to being an upper classman so we can really use the facilities.” Jenny is on the cycling team and that has given her “a real break.” She is allowed to cycle within a 50-mile radius of the campus “so you can get off the post and think.” , Her father prepared her for what life at West Point would be like. “Dad said, ‘When you get there, they take away all your rights. Then they gradually give them back to you as privileges,’ ” she said. She has found that to be true. Soon she will be allowed to have music in her room. When she is in her last year, she will be able to have a car. “But before we got there, we could have music and cars,” she noted. The events in the Persian Gulf are immediate to Jenny and others at West Point. Most of the enlisted military personnel from the post are already there, she noted. Last year’s graduates are there or on their way, and this year’s seniors know they will be going. “But there are no debates or anything,” she said. “Everybody’s in the Army, ready to do what they have to do.” Vaccinate against flu RICHMOND — Just as shorter days and colder nights surely mean that winter is in the wings, so too do they portend of another, more ominous, annual occurrence, the yearly onslaught of influenza and pneumonia. In 1987 more than 2.25 million Virginians suffered a bout with influenza, while pneumonia afflicted another 89,000. These diseases are too deadly to be suffered lightly. Influenza is the fourth leading cause of death in older adults. Pneumonia is the leading cause of death by infectious disease in the United States. The two combine to be the sixth leading cause of death in this country. Both can be prevented. The American Lung Association of Virginia (ALAV) urges those most at risk to seek out flu and pneumonia vaccines. The ideal time for vaccination is October through December. People who should receive the vaccines include healthy adults age 65 and older; adults and chddren with chronic cardiovascular or putpionary disorders; residents, caretakers and employees of nursing homes and chronic care facilities; and other health care providers who come in contact with high-risk groups. Families of high-risk individuals should also be vaccinated. Individuals with severe allergies to eggs should not be vaccinated. Persons with acute febrile illnesses should contact their physicians before receiving the vaccines. Flu shots should be repeated yearly, as flu strains change annually. Pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines are effective thorughout the recipient’s lifetime. Vaccinations are available through private physicians, and are also offered by the Rappahannock County Health Department. Call (703) 675-3516 for more information. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that flu and pneumonia result in almost 70,000 deaths annually in the United States. In 1987, 91 million episodes of flu were responsible for 174 sick bed days, with an economic cost of $10.4 billion. For more information on flu and pneumonia, and their vaccines, contact the Northern Virginia ALAV office or call toll-free, (800) 345-LUNG.

Heart Assn, offers holiday health tips The traditions of the holidays go far beyond the religious aspects for most Americans. And many of those traditions - parties, all-day shopping trips, extra work breaks to enjoy holiday treats - offer temptations to give up healthful habits. But the holidays don’t have to be the exception to your healthful lifestyle. The American Heart Association urges you to keep your heart in mind through the hectic holiday season. Both healthful eating and exercising are often forgotten at this time of the year, but there are plenty of things that you can do to avoid the temptation to eat foods high in cholesterol, fat, sodium and calories and to skip exercising. At work, keep a small supply of fresh fruit or chewing gum in your desk. When the party leftovers become tempting, satisfy your appetite with a fresh apple or a piece of gum. If your office has a holiday luncheon, prepare a large tossed salad instead of a gooey dessert. That way, you’ll be able to watch your own diet. You may find that your coworkers apprecicate the salad for themselves. If you do bring a dessert, try fresh fruit. If you use canned fruit, you can reduce calories by selecting fruit packed in its own juice. At parties, consider fresh vegetables dipped in low-fat yogurt, fruit, and low-fat cheeses as appetizers and snacks. If you find yourself trapped at the food table, opt for raw vegetables and fruits instead of baked goods and highly salted nuts and chips. If the temptation to nibble is too great, try getting involved in a stimulating conversation and as far away from the food as possible. If you drink alochol, do so in moderation. Drinking water with a twist of lime or lemon or diet sodas can help curb your appetite without adding pounds and also give you something to do with your hands instead of picking up food. For exercise, shopping can actually be an advantage. Between purchases, try “mall-walking” for exercise. Many malls already have organized walking programs. Find jut how many “laps” equals one mile and set goals for yourself. And, of course, take the stairs rather than :he escalator and elevator when possible. Don’t forget about your healthful iiet when you are shopping. If you eat lunch or dinner while you are aut, avoid the temptations of highest entrees and desserts. Opt for ight choices, such as salads or baked aotatoes, without heavy toppings and dressings. Maintaining a healthful diet and exercise program is important year•ound. And your willpower will help mu enjoy a healthful holiday season. Engagement announced Mr. and Mrs. Raymond R.

How often we hear this phrase. Yet, how often the “great American dream” turns into a nightmare. Certainly we need some financial security, but in the process of pursuing great riches and social standing, which might be lost in the blink of an eye, some lose sight of those riches which cannot be bought, and they may pay the price. Most importantly, we may sacrifice our spiritual well-being. Matthew 16:26 warns us, saying, “For what will a man be profited if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?" This week, seek the riches of the spirit as you worship God In His House. The Bible advises us in Matthew 6:20 to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys...” and in Matthew 6:33 to "seek first His (God's) Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things (worldly goods) shall be added to you." Is this not the greatest security of all?

Cranberries for holiday meals By HELEN W. SMITH Home Extension Afent If you’re like me, one of my favorite holiday foods is the cranberry. It’s tart flavor and bright red color accent many holiday foods. Cranberries are one of only three native North American fruits. (Concord grapes and blueberries are the others). Long before the Pilgrims arrived, North American Indians had used cranberries in foods, dyes and even medicine. The Pilgrims gave the cranberry its modem name. To them, the pink cranberry blossoms resembled the heads of cranes; therefore the HOME ECONOMICS words, “crane berry” later contracted to “cranberry. ” During the heyday of dipper ships and long whaling voyages, American ships carried cranberries in their holds to be eaten by sailors to ward off scurvy (cranberries contained important vitamin C, and their natural waxy coating aided preservation over long periods of time) much as English “limeys” at limes. Storage Cranberries have good keeping qualities. Fresh, they will keep in k the refrigerator for up to four weeks. Frozen, they will keep up to one year. Simply place the unopened bag or box in the freezer. Cranberries make a beautiful garnish. Dip them in beaten egg white and roll in sugar for frosted cranberries. The following recipes show how versatile cranberries are in cooking. They can be used in beverages, sauces, chutney, salads, desserts, breads and added to stuffing and rice dishes for a bit of flavor and color. Cranberry holiday tarts 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup dark com syrup 1 cup sifted powdered sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 cups fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped 1 cup chopped pecans Tart shells (recipe follows) Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Choose sight safe toys for holidays With Santas big day arriving faster than you can say “Ho, ho, ho,” the National Society tq Prevent Blindness-Virginia Affiliate urges all Santa’s helpers to check their lists twice for toys that could pose a hazard to children’s eyes. Almost all eye injuries from toys can be avoided, the Society says, by selecting toys and games more carefully and teaching youngsters how to use toys safely. No one wants to play the part of Scrooge during the holidays but children’s toys were responsible for more than 8,900 eye injuries last year alone, according to the Society. Frank J. Carlomagno, Executive Director, of the NSPB Virginia Affiliate, says, “The gifts that santaand parents-leave under the tree this holiday should be carefully se lected. Before making a purchase, adults should consider the child’s maturity level and remember that toys purchased for one child often find their way into the hands of younger children.” To help toy shoppers make safe selections, the Society offers the following holidays checklist: • Avoid projectile items, such as guns that shoot darts or corks.' • Check toys for any sharp exposed edges, points, nails, or screws. • Examine dolls, stuffed animals or other cuddly toys for rigid interior frames that can poke through the outside coverings. • Check for loose parts that can become unattached, exposing sharp metal or plastic. • Avoid toys that shatter or are easily breakable. The Society is especially concerned that parents and friends continue to purchase projectile non-toys for children. These include air and spring operated guns, slingshots, bows and arrows and darts. It’s not easy to say ‘no’ to to gift requests,” •says Mr. Carlomagno, “but, children can be reassured that old St. Nick will come through with an even better - and much safer toy. Disappointment over an unfilled request will be forgotten, but an eye injury may be forever.” For further information on year-' round children’s eye safety, write for a copy of the Society’s free brochure, “Don’t Play Games With Your Eyes,” to: National Society to Prevent Blindness-Virginia Affiliate, 3820 Augusta Ave., Richmond, Virginia 23230 or call (804) 355-0773.

DAR members appoint Mrs. Eastham as Regent The November meeting of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, was held on Tuesday, the thirteenth, at the Culpeper United Methodist Church in Culpeper. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. Thomas Eastham, the new Regent. Mrs. William J. Nenner, Chaplain, gave a loving memorial with prayers for the late Mrs. W. Carlyle Crigler who was serving the Chapter as its Regent until her death on November fourth. The speaker for the afternoon was Mrs. Edward W. Schaefer whose subject was “A Snug Little Home in Richmond.” Mrs. Schaefer had trunks full of memorabilia from the John Y. Mason family. He was an American Minister in Paris among other appointed offices by the United States government but Mrs. Schaefer centered her account on the oldest daughter of the family, Betty, who married Roscoe Heath in 1855 and moved to Richmond. Reading excerpts from letters which Betty wrote to her family was the basis of this account of married life in the fifties and sixties, making life as it was lived at that time come alive - the daily routine, descriptions of home furnishings, loss of children, infants and and new mothers, the gathering problem of slavery, and how she coped as a widow with four children after eight years of marriage. She was hired by the Navy to write articles but didn’t want anyone to know she was working. The message from the President General, read by Mrs. Randolph Dixon, celebrated Thanksgiving, a time of giving thanks for this country’s freedom, and to the DAR membership for service to our country. Delegates and Alternates for both the Continental Congress, April 14-19, 1991 in Washington, D.C. and the VADAR state conference, March 15-17, 1991 in Norfolk were elected. As Regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham will be a Delegate to both; Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear, Jr. will be Chapter Delegate for Continental Congress; Mrs. J. R. Kilby will be Delegate for the state conference. Four alternates for each event was also elected. All were reminded of the DARSAR Christmas banquet at the Holiday Inn in Culpeper on Dec. 18 at 6:30 p.m. Cost is $14 and reservations should be mailed to Mrs. Gutowski by Dec. 8. The next regular meeting will be on Jan. 8, 1991 at the Culpeper United Methodist Church with the speaker being R. Adm. John L. Marocchi USN (ret). Pruning keeps berry bushes productive Those of you growing raspberries and blackberries need to prune the brambles in summer, in addition to dormant pruning. Here are some suggestions that will help you have a productive bramble planting. Summer red raspberries: Don’t tip new canes (primocanes) in the summer. ■ If the canes grow too much, tip them in the spring of the following year. Remember, however, not to remove more than a fourth of the cane. Remove canes that have fruited at ground level after harvesting. This provides more space for new, developing canes. It also reduces insect and disease problems. Also, thin out weak, spindly primocanes at this time. Fall red raspberries: When you grow raspberries for a fall crop only, you do not have to do any type of summer pruning. You have to remove all canes that are above ground before new canes start emerging. Black and purple raspberries: Tip new canes when they reach a height of 24 to 30 inches. Remove six to eight inches of terminal growth. This means going through the planting several times as new canes reach the tipping height. STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE IstTues., 1 p.m. Every Month In addition to our regular sales on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle Sale •Consignments Welcome.

Brandywine and Royalty purple raspberries may not require tipping. Remove the fruiting canes after fruiting. Trailing (thornless) blackberries: You won’t usually tip trailing blackberries in the summer. If the new canes are growing so much they invade the space of the next plant, however, you should tip them back. Remove two-year-old canes after fruiting. Erect (thorned) blackberries: Tip back new primocanes two to three inches when they rea,ch a height of between three and four feet. As with black and purple raspberries, you may have to do this two or three times as new canes arise. Remember to remove fruiting canes immediately after harvest.
