A-6 McCarthy: Tax increase isn't needed County Administrator John McCarthy said Monday the upcoming county budget could be covered without a tax increase. He said the budget would probably be advertised at the current rate of 77 cents per hundred for real estate and $2.90 for personal property. Mr. McCarthy said the current tax rate could be kept because, al- - though some budgets such as schools and the library have gone up, there will not be the capital improvement expenses that the county has faced in the past with the jaQ addition and building the Animal Shelter. Some funds for expanding the landfill can be covered by funds that will not be spent in the current year, he said.

Thomas Johnson Michie Jr., 59, of Charlottesville, may soon be Rappahannock’s representative in the state senate, replacing Sen. Kevin Miller of Harrisonburg. Gov. Wilder’s flat-out opposition to the senate’s redistricting plan will not likely change that prospect. Sen. Michie, a Democrat, has represented the 25th senatorial district in the General Assembly since 1980. Prior to 1980 he was for 10 years a member of the House of Delegates from Charlottesville. He said this week he was excited about the prospect of representing Rappahannock, although the county is about as new to him as he is to it. “I’ve driven through operrjr vine once in a wnne, on my way to Warren County or Winchester,” said Sen. Michie. A canoeing enthusiast, he has navigated the Thornton River. Sen. Michie is up for reelection in the fall. He will announce in May his intentions to run or retire. “I’ve been down there (in Richmond) 20 years and loved every bit of it,” was his only comment. During the 1980s his district was comprised of Nelson, Albemarle, Greene, and Orange counties, the City of Charlottesville and the southern one-third of Madison Sen. Michie Under the redistricting plan being considered by Gov. Wilder, the 25th district would lose Orange County but pick up all of Rappahannock and the remainder of Madison. Although Gov. Wilder said this week he will certainly reject the senate redistricting plans, changes would probably be made in Southside and Tidewater, if there are changes. > Wilder is facing a deadline for a decision on redisSee MICHIE, p. A-7 Arundel Newspapers Staff Photo/Lou Hatter Celebrating release of ‘Inns of the Blue Ridge* at Bleu Rock, from left: Bernard Campagne, Donna Hufnagel, Eric Stainer and Jean Campagne. New inn guide is out ‘Inns of the Blue Ridge’published By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock Newt SUIT Writer The publication of “Inns of the Blue Ridge: Mountain Hospitality in the Best Southern Tradition from Virginia to Georgia” was celebrated at the Bleu Rock Inn in Washington last Saturday. The 300-page travel guide, the latest offering from EPM Publications in McLean, naturally features entries from Rappahannock and surrounding counties. Rappahannock inns features are the Blue Knoll Farm in Castleton, the School House in Flint Hill, Conyers House in Sperryville, Bleu Rock and The Inn at Little Washington. But the book includes information about more than 126 “recommended country escapes” from Blue Ridge states. A photo of the Bleu Rock Inn by Rappa hannock News photographer Cindy Mahan even graces the cover. The book was compiled by EPM staffers, who visited the inns to provide readers with descriptions as well as prices and reservations information. About Joy and Richard CartwrightBrown’s Blue Knoll Farm, the book says: “(The couple’s) genuine warmth exudes an old-fashioned sociability that keepers of larger, more elaborate inns cannot offer. These innkeepers are having fun, fortunately for guests, a contagious condition.” The School House, according to the guide, “is a happy learning experience that merits all A’s; one you won’t mind staying after school for.” See BOOK, p. A-8 Post Office loitering problem attacked again Council to make stub into street By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Town Council has directed town attorney Frank Reynolds to pursue making the “stub street” between the Post Office and the Eldreds’ home a state right-of-way. Council members say the town has seen a recent upsurge in the number of loiterers at the comer, and if the stub street is made a rightof-way then the Sheriffs Office can enforce the state law that prohibits pedestrians from blocking roads, according to Mr. Reynolds. At its monthly meeting on Wednesday, April 10, the council voted unanimously to have Mr. Reynolds take steps to make the stub street a public way. The council plans to request that the Virginia Department of Transportation accept the putative street into the 5state system. Mr. Reynolds told the council that both landowners (the Eldred family and Dr. Werner Krebser) had “indicated a willingness to cooperate” and will probably give up any claim to the road if the town agrees to maintain it. Title work on that stub street has been done, and so Mr. Reynolds will be negotiating with the landowners over the dimensions of the road. Council member Ray Gooch said the loiterers have increased in number since spring weather hit. ‘They’re full of themselves” and See COUNCIL, p. A-6 Professor to give talk on Va/s Indian relics Is it an arrowhead. . .or just a pointy rock? Bring your treasured Indian artifact to the Rappahannock Historical Society’s next meeting at 3 p.m., Sunday, May 5 at the Rappahannock County Courthouse in Washington and let anthropologist Carole Nash of James Madison University identify it. If it’s an authentic Indian artifact, chances are Miss Nash will be able to fix the date when it was made. Historical Society president Kathy Knuepfer calls the meeting an “artifacts show and tell," and invites all county residents to bring in any materials they would like to share, or have identified or dated. The vivacious Miss Nash, a native of Madison County, holds a doctorate degree, and teaches in the JMU Anthropology Department. Her research of hundreds of pre-historic sites indicates that Indians have roamed this area for 11,000 years. They established base camps and traded with other Indians over a wide area of what is now the United States. Miss Nash has spoken to many local groups, including the Rappahannock Historical Society in November 1990. She returns on May 5 for this special “show and tell” program.

Pianist-composer, harpist to perform Peter Kater gives first show here By MARK SCOLFORO | Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Pianist-composer Peter Kater and his family decided to move from Boulder, Colo, last year, and set out ; to find a new home. Their travels eventually led them to the Virginia countryside. They i liked Charlottesville, but decided it was too much like Boulder. Using , D.C. as a base, they focused on this 1 region. Last fall they were in Warrenton when they asked a stranger where a young, artistic couple could find a rural lifestyle and like-minded folks. “Try Washington, Va.,” they were told and they did, falling instantly in love with the county and deciding to make Rappahannock their permanent home. Kater and harpist Lorraine Duiisit (who spent nine years touring internationally with Trapezoid before joining with her current musical partner and husband Tom Espinola) When I need to categorize myself, I call myself a contemporary pianist-composer.' — Peter Kater Musician will be putting on a benefit for the Mothering Cooperative at 8 p.m. April 27 in The Theatre at Washington, Va. Proceeds from the concert will go toward upgrading playground equip-ment at the Rappahannock Park in ^Washington, and toward supporting ^Mothering Co-op activities. Kater and wife Chris White, a writer, have a 4-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy, so when they were just getting settled in Rappahannock he noticed a poster advertising a meeting of the Mothering Co-op. “We were anxious to develop some friends for the kids and some relief for us,” he said. “I just think it’s a real neat thing to have, especially out here.” Kater, as a composer, recording artist and writer of musical scores, could basically live anywhere “that’s within an hour and a half from an airport.” Armed with FAX machine, telephone and musical equipment, he can compose just as easily in Rappahannock as anywhere, he said. Describing the music he will be performing at the benefit, he said: “When I need to categorize myself, I call myself a contemporary pianist-composer.” He said his solo music is evocative of “anyone from Keith Jarrett to Gershwin.” His instrumental music can “relax and uplift at the same time,” he said. Rater’s 11 albums have sold about 250,000 copies worldwide, and his current album, “Rooftops,” is in the Top 10 of all three national airplay charts for new-acoustic music. He performed about 100 concerts last year, but has cut down to less than half that rate this year, as the move to Rappahannock affords him more time to spend with his young family. i jusi goi real urea oi me roaa last year,” he said. As a result, he has shifted the focus of his career from performances to more studio work and scoring. His performance and studio credits are extensive, but some highlights: • Music for the 1988 Winter Olympics. , • The score to Woody Allen’s “Scenes from a Mall.” • “Earth Year 1990” tour to benefit the U.N. Environmental Programme. • The score to the Broadway hit, “Bum This,” and scores to other plays and movies. • Performance at Robert Redford’s Sundance Group. • The original score for the American Video Award nominee “Greenpeace: Greatest Hits.” Kater has also opened for a variety of pop music performers, including Bruce Hornsby, Dan Fogelburg, Stanley Jordan and Karla Bonoff. The concert is sponsored by the Ki Theatre and the Mothering Coop, with help from RAAC. Tickets are $9 in advance, $10 at the door and $7 for Mothering Co-op members. They can be purchased at Mountainside Market in Washington, the Natural Marketplace in Warrenton or at Better Thymes in Front Royal. For more information call 703349-4894, 703-636-8315 or 937-3110.

Harpists own pieces featured By CAROL LUCKING Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Local songwriter-composer Lorraine Duisit will make a rare solo appearance at 8 p.m. April 27 at the Theatre at Washington. As opening artist to Peter Kater,« she is donating her time and talents to benefit the Mothering Cooperative’s upcoming volunteer community project to repair and make improvements to the Rappahannock Park playground. As a Mothering Cooperative member and mother of a 17-monthold daughter, Ms. Duisit will feature her own compositions on a handmade 33-string Irish harp. A resident of Rappahannock County, Ms. Duisit spent nine years touring internationally with Trapezoid before joining with her current musical partner and husband, Tom Espinola. Together they recorded “Feather River,” described by the Washington Post as “beautiful and spellbinding” possessing “high technical standards and thoughtful architecture.” Her solo debut album, “Hawks and Herons,” was rated one of the finest folk albums of the year by the Post. Described as a “truly compelling singer” by Guitar World and “an impressively original talent” by Billboard, she was featured on “Voice of America,” “All Things Considered,” and played on “A Prairie Home Companion,” as well as on albums by John McCutcheon and Holly Near. Her composition “Silverplume Waltz” was released on the “Windham Hill Guitar Sampler.” Motherhood has embraced Ms. Duisit fully this past year and a half. She is content to play her music frequently at home rehearsing for occasional gigs, while her daughter is young.

The annual run, beginning in Flint Hill and ending in historic Washington, via scenic Fodderstack Road, is sponsored by the Rappahannock Recreational Facilities Authority and funded by various groups. The race begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 27. Pre-registration is $12.50, payable to Rappahannock Recreational Authority, P.O. Box 124, Flint Hill, Va. 22627. Registration the day of the race begins at 8:30 a.m. in Flint Hill. Registration is $15 the day of the race. Transportation from Washington to Flint Hill is available, leaving from in front of the court house at 9 a.m. Parking in Flint Hill is limited. Trophies in eight categories with two larger trophies to honor the first male and female Rappahannock finishers are given. Trophies this year — mugs with bands of color to represent finished place — are made by Meryl Strange of Viewtown. Eva L. Smith trophies are ginger jars. Inviting walkers and runners alike, this year the March Of Dimes will hold WalkAmerica in conjunction with the annual Fodderstack 10-K. This is the largest fund-raiser for the organization with over 30 million people from over 1,400 communities nationt ally. Contact the County Administrator’s office at 675-3342 or the March of Dimes office at 804-9733463. Sign-up slips are available at most area stores, government offices and farm supply outlets. J Those interested can obtain support through pledges and win prizes for the most pledges gained. “We are urging runners to participate in this and raise some money for charity while they run,” Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said. Walkers will start the event after Clint Kiser won the Fodderstack I0-K Classic last year. runners have left and will end on Jett Street instead of Gay Street. Runners interested in participating in both events should pay the registration fee for the race. There is no cost to join the walka-thon. Runners, walkers, joggers and just those out to enjoy the scenery and sunshine are beginning to send in their registration forms. But, this year some familiar faces are missing. Local attorney Frank Reynolds is making room for another to compete for the Eva L. Smith award. “I don’t know if I am doing it, yet,” said Nina Stamer of Sperryville. She has three Eva L. Smith awards. This may be her fifth year in the competition. “I haven’t been running as much and I just have not decided,” she said.

THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1991 Boundaries The purpose of drawing legislative districts isn’t to isolate communities and give them an identity and political power they haven’t come by honestly. To set out to divide Virginia’s General Assembly — having already set a quota of how many minority districts you want — is unconscionable. Gov. Wilder’s widely reported goal of five minority senate districts can only keep the Democrats from attaining what should be their goal: redrawing lines so that the most Virginians get the best representation possible in Richmond. Setting a quota puts the governor on the side of gerrymandering by forcing communities together even though they have very little (except geographic proximity) to unite them. When Gov. Wilder rejects the senate’s redistricting, which he has said he will be doing this week, he should specify which lines need to be moved and map out the reasons why. To tell the legislators that the bottom line doesn’t “add up” is an insult to them and a denegration of the redistricting process. Supporting equality and desegregation and being in favor of quotas are two completely different things. If you want to see gerrymandering, just try to divide this state into electoral units that will provide the legislature with a number of minority members in the same percentage as blacks in the population. The misshapen districts that you’d have to draw would make Mississippi’s famous “shoestring district” look conventional. Another consideration that the governor should make is that national Democrats, when they come looking for national candidates, are not going to like his tendency to hold the state party hostage to settle vendettas or impose inequitable quotas. Gov. Wilder, it’s your call. Having made it clear that the senate’s plan is not acceptable, you have to make your case. Simply telling voters that you want more minority legislators is not enough. You have to come up with an alternative plan that would accomplish (at least some) of your objectives while still providing the most Virginians with the best-possible form of representation.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Letters to the editor 'We kill eagles' To the Editor: With rage and sadness, I wonder what man wants on this earth? We fight wars to liberate countries and refuse to help the refugees from the defeated country. We refuse to house the homeless. We refuse to feed our children. We shrink in horror at the thought of higher taxes to finance education, mental health programs, social services and programs for the disabled. We are in such a hurry that we will try to run over a man carrying a replica of the cross on Good Friday. We empty car ashtrays in people’s driveways. We throw our garbage on the sides of roads. We snicker at the reports of the depleted ozone layer. We refuse to ban handguns. We insist on keeping a frontier mentality even in our most populated cities. We revel in the misfortune of others. We are unhappy unless we are building another road or erecting another development. We are unaware that the Constitution was written for all of us. We kill eagles! MARILOUISE K. BANE Sperryville Good time for advice To the Editor: With the recent change of editors and letters that have criticised the Rappahannock News, it seems a good time to write with my own suggestions. This is not a criticism of the outgoing editor or the new one, just some suggestions for improvement. For the past eight weeks, 1 have r Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper. We encourage our readers to express their feelings on matters of public concern. “Letters to the editor” provides a forum for your opinion. Letters should be concise, as space may require editing. Whenever possible, letters should be typed and doublespaced. To be considered for publication, they must bear the writer’s signature, address and daytime telephone number. Anonymous letters will not be published. The writer’s name may be withheld under extreme circumstances only. Letters that are libelous or in poor taste will not be published. Topics addressed should be of general interest to the community. Letters must reach the editor by 10 a.m. Tuesday to be considered for publication that week. Letters may be mailed to the Rappahannock News, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747, or delivered to the news office on Main Street in Washington. consistently received my paper on Tuesday instead of Thursday - five days later than everyone else who has a Washington, Va. address. The Post Office says it’s the newspaper’s problem; the newspaper says it’s the Post Office’s problem. I suspect the problem is in how the papers are sorted for bulk mailing. In any case, it should not be the subscriber’s responsibility to trace problems of this sort. Grammatical errors are distracting. A frequently-recurring one is hyphenation after words ending in “ly,” as I have done in this sentence. Particularly annoying are well-intentioned editorial changes to letters written to the editor; I know of one instance where the deletion of a comma changed' the writer’s intended meaning completely. This seems like nit-picking, but I can’t think of anything more important in a community paper than remaining faithful to a writer’s original message. The “Lifestyle” section is OK but not really necessary. Much of what we have come to expect in this section, such as an announcement of a community event, is often tucked away in the first section, or is repeated in both sections. Publicity of community events is usually excellent. It is much appreciated. Success of these events depends on good publicity and proper timing. Color photos on the front page are fine when there is a special photo or event, but it seems there is a quota that has to be met. The result is occasionally some poor photos, presumably because somebody feels compelled to publish a color photo or two every week. The “political” cartoons are tolerable, but leave Rappahannock Roger at home. I would like to see more news of what’s happening in surrounding counties. For example, there is a long ongoing furious controversy over the policies of the National Park Service in Madison County. Even though I don’t agree with all of their policies, I am thankful that in Rappahannock, our relationship with our neighboring park is very different. The angry debates in Madison County could easily affect us, and coverage of this issue would be appropriate in our newspaper, along with many other things that are happening in other surrounding counties.

The program will be concerned with Mental Health and the topic for discussion will be “Fears of Parents and Children.” The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection was accepted for membership in the Conservation Council of Virginia at its recent Spring Meeting in Annandale. The local group thus becomes affiliated with nearly forty organizations totalling over 200,000 members throughout Virginia. 15 YEARS AGO April 15, 1976 Most of the apple crop in Rappahannock County was wiped out this past weekend when a killing frost froze the apple blossoms that were almost in full bloom. According to some estimates, more than 90 percent of the crop was destroyed when temperatures in the area dropped into the low twenties. The 18th Century will come alive again at 8 p.m., Friday, April 23, in the Rappahannock County Elementary School auditorium. Color slides of about 50 of the oldest cabins, barns, mills and large homes in Rappahannock County will be shown by the photo-narration team of Helen and Howdy Holschuh - he operates the camera and project tor, and she provides the commentary. 10 YEARS AGO April 16, 1981 In a very short meeting April 8, the Washington Towij Council agreed to continue plans to drill a new well at the site coilsidered most likely to provide sufficient water by the state geologist in his study last winter. This site is located on part of the Updike farm adjoining the Rush River just outside town.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Bill and Virginia Watson create custom leather items. Leathermakers open business in Flint Hill By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Question: What do George Bush, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Bandar, and Eric Clapton have in common? Answer: They’ve all purchased custom leather products from Bill and Virginia Watson, who moved their Potomac Leather Co. to Flint Hill two months ago. The Watsons left their retail space on King Street in Alexandria for Rappahannock (where they’re home-shopping), a move that represents a new phase for the business. The biggest change, the couple said, was that they will be free to concentrate on annual Medieval summer festivals and on more creative leatherworking. “We consider ourselves artists. We were ending up being managers,” watching over the day-today operation of the King Street Store, said Mrs. Watson. By moving into Bruce Vierling’s warehouse in Flint Hill, they are saying goodbye to the pressures of retail sales. Now custom work and preparation for the fairs in summer and fall keep them busy. And, Mrs. Watson says simply, ‘We want to live in Rappahannock County.” Mr. Watson, like his wife a native of suburban Northern Virginia, began his interest in leatherwork as a Boy Scout, earning the leatherworking merit badge. He enrolled in saddlemaking school, then worked as a journeyman saddler in Loudoun and as a tackmaker in Annapolis. Mrs. Watson went to bootmaking school, but now creates a variety of leather designs. As their business has grown, especially by word-of-mouth, so too have their orders increased. Some of the custom jobs they’re working on now include a set of eight leather chairs, presidential appointment cases for the State Department, and white buffalo-hide boots. The business is currently taking orders now for goods to be delivered in November, said Mr. Watson. The festivals, including the Maryland Renaissance Festival near Annapolis and the Sterling (N.Y.) Renaissance Festival, comprise a substantial portion of their business. The eight-week festivals draw, huge crowds that love the Watsons’s extensive line of custom Medieval garb, including vests, tunics, skirts, scabbards, and belt pouches. They turn out a good number of sandals as well, having purchased the entire sandal business from Mr. Watson’s old employer, Georgetown Leather Design. “People think sandals just suddenly appeared in the ’60s,” said Mr. Watson. “That’s ridiculous. They’ve been around for thousands of years. ” Another popular item, he said, is custom-made moccasins. Their clientele, said Mrs. Watson, “varies tremendously. We get everyone from teenagers who saved their money for something special to black Baptist ministers and Tibetan monks.” The monk bought sandals. Mr. Watson said he will take orders by appointment, but warned potential customers that there’s a backlog of months. Call 675-1288.

THE GARDENI COUNCIL Nil WARRENTON FARMER'S CO-OP 143 Washington Street 347-7100 ■ Member Virginia Nurseryman’* Assocwiion Grapes Continued from page A-1 bring the Virginia grape industry closer to home. Many growers — especially those in Rappahannock —grow grapes to sell to local wineries. “There is a demand for Virginia grapes,” said the manager of Flint Hill Vineyards, Jonathan Achilles. “The soil here is great for grapes,” Mr. Achilles explained, adding that with temperate winters, wet springs and late falls, the grapes thrive in the higher elevations of the county. “There is always a demand for local grapes,” he repeated, adding Virginia is the ■ fourth-largest wine-producing state in the union. Filling the demand is the surge of local growers. As acreage is cleared, posts placed, trellis strung, vines tied and pruned, Rappahannock vineyards prepare for the burst of spring growth. “Some call this boutique vineyards,” Mr. Achilles said, explaining a boutique vineyard is one that is “three to five acres, just about what one person can handle.” Besides the work involved in vineyard care, the cost is skyrocketing. “It was estimated that it takes about $5,000 per acre to begin a vineyard,” Mr. Achilles said, adding that as the years establish the crop, cost decreases. “Your start-up cost is always more.” Besides the initial cost, grape vines producing wine grapes are not allowed to produce for three years. All bloom is pruned for three years allowing the plant to establish a root system. “It takes five to seven years to see a profit,” he said, adding that vines live and produce for 30 to 40 years, older vines producing more refined grapes. “The sugar matures, the pH and acidity are stablized, the vines less susceptible to harsh weather and disease,” he said. It takes a ton of grapes to produce 150 gallons of wine — about 13 pounds per gallon. The average acre contains 600 to 700 vines. Mr. Achilles manages several thousand tons of grapes in Flint Hill Vineyards, grapes harvested and sold to Linden Vineyards in Warren County. “I never thought I would be doing this,” he said, sitting in his Huntly home. Raised in the Middleburg area, Achilles is a newcomer to the county. His background in tree surgery prepared him for outdoor work. After working for several years at Naked Mountain Vineyards in Markham, he moved to Rappahannock County to begin work in Flint Hill. Mr. Achilles manages the vineyards owned by Richard Johaneson, an absentee owner employed by the International Labor Organization and currently living in Switzerland. The seven-acre vineyard is located behind Sunny Slope property off U.S. 522 outside Flint Hill. It is one of the oldest in the county. Working a minimum of 35 hours a week, Mr. Achilles’s job as manager keeps him busy nearly every month of the year. “If you really get ahead of the game, you can relax in August,” he said, adding that grapes just ripen during this time and need little attention. “But then, some days you work 10- or 12-hour days,” he said of work in spring and during the fall harvest. “And, I usually work at least two Saturdays a month.” Work and growing grapes seems analogous. “You never get finished in a vineyard,” he said, saying it’s “like building a house. There is always more work to do.” As winter settles across most of the county, grape growers begin to dig post holes in early January. “Early spring starts the pruning Itage and tying,” he said, adding that for 10 months out of the year, work is “pretty intensive.” “It’s not hard to learn,” he said, explaining he teaches hired migrant workers “and we have a language barrier,” he said. There are seminars and classes that form a good preparation for vineyard beginners. Degrees in horticulture or viticulture are not a necessity for vineyard management. Most local growers have a desire to be outside and epjoy hard work. “They are very labor intensive,” Henry Gorfein of Washington said. His three acre Rush River Vineyard in Harris Hollow is young, expecting to yield its first crop this fall. “It’s the kind of labor that’s not difficult,” he said, explaining unlike orchards there is no climbing. “It’s just tedious,” he said. He and his wife and business partner, Meredith, “epjoy the work. It’s very exciting really,” he added. Both from major East Coast cities, the Gorfeins have little to no experience in the field. “I might have had a window box,” Mr. Gorfein joked of his New York City past. “But, we enjoy this. It’s a very viable alternative to large farms,” he said. As the business grows in Vir ginia, the state offers its full support. “There is a full-time wine maker and viticulturist in Winchester,” Mr. Gorfein said, adding the office has been very educationally helpful and supportive of new vineyards. Spending nearly four hours a day in their vineyard, the couple expects only an average yield this year. “We are the only vineyard in the county to use a different trellis system,” he said of his “divided canopy” trellis, an idea from France which allows more sunlight and higher yield per acreage. “Really, the soil here is too rich for grapes and they can overproduce,” he said, adding this type of canopy allows a higher yield on less acreage. “Getting people to help is hard,” Donna Brune of Persimmon Springs Farm in Flint Hill said. The Brunes have cultivated three acres of grapevines on their 30-plus-acre farm and, after seven years of labor, they still find the work hard. “Many things to do with vineyards are mechanical now,” Mrs. Brune said, adding that even though “even the small equipment is expensive and you have got to have time to juggle the harvest and get the items to the winery.” The Brunes sell their grapes to Oasis Vineyards in Hume. “We take care of the place ourselves,” Mrs. Brune said of the vineyard, adding this year “we’ve got to make some decisions about it.” Pruning, planting, tying, spraying, hoeing and harvesting all take time and many long hours. While grapes remain a viable industry in Virginia, they often are managed and cared for by those with other jobs.

Arts group faces dwindling revenue Ki Theatre season nears end By LISA CURRIE Rappahannock New* 91aft Writer The upcoming Memorial Day weekend presentation, “Crossroads,” concludes the season for the Ki Theatre in Rappahannock County. This year, Ki Theatre offered a four part series “The Exchange,” featuring area artists performing their talents for a local stage. It concludes the season next month with “Crossroads,” a workshop with evening and morning presentations for the entire family, featuring artists from the crossroads of our nation. “The audience is the community as well as the artist is the community” in this case, said Ki Theatre director Julie Portman. “The Exchange series offered the chance for the two to meet, converse and see each other as a creator,” she said. The artists were Nol Putman reading and discussing his works; composers Carleton Coon, Lorriane Duisit and Richard Squires; colorist Ruth Blackwell Rogers and dancerchoregraphers Sally Nash, Sharon Wyrrick and Denise Read. The audience was comprised of local faces, faces from Northern Virginia, southern Maryland, West Virginia and surrounding counties. “They came from many different places,” Ms. Portman said. And, with each presentation, the audience performance with the artist was more intense offering the audience a sense of dynamics with the artist as well as giving the artist a sense of dynamics with the audience. “Anyone can go to a theater and be entertained,” Ms. Portman said. “But, if we want work that is more personal and truer — what the educated audience is calling for — than we need to add human effort.” The Ki Theatre “Exchange” series offered that opportunity. “There has to be some sort of rebirth, a personal quality for the audience,” she said. “We wanted to establish a real community between artist and audience and audience and artist. Both make a difference to the outcome — both have an impact on the other. ” With each performance the audience grew. “We want to continue this type of Anyone can go to a theater and be entertained. But if we want work that is more personal and truer — what the educated audience is calling for—than we need to add human effort' — Julie Portman Ki Theatre work,” Ms. Portman said. “We had a fine response from the artist and the community. But we only hope to do this again,” she said. Budget cuts across the state are having a reflection on variety of occupations. Artists everywhere have found funds slowly dwindling. “All funding has been taken away,” Ms. Portman said of Ki Theatre. Last year, Virginia Commission for1 the Arts supported the group financially, helping to offset costs. The theater’s membership drive — only one year old — has supplemented funds necessary for the group to survive. Without outside support, the group searches for inventive ways to incourage fundraising, membership drives and fund allocations. “None of us here have earned income from Ki Theatre,” Ms. Portman said. “What we offer is without pay. We are artists and we enjoy our work. But, without alternative sources of funding next year, I don’t know,” she said. “It’s not fair to have the abundant quality and variety of artists in one community and not have a public forum for their work,” she said, referring to the theater’s “Exchange” series as a “public forum. ” “How do we face next year?” she asked. .

Council Continued from page A-1 “full of vim and vigor as it’s warming up,” said Mr. Gooch. Council member Newbill Miller said he wants to determine the status of other stub streets as well, and the council voted to hire a title company to research titles on the town’s 10 or 12 stub streets. Mr. Gooch, who said a stub street runs through his own front yard, said, “I don’t know that we want to treat them all equally” and take “what are basically cul-de-sacs” into the state system. VDOT may not accept the street next to the Post Office because it may be too narrow, said Mr. Reynolds, although VDOT will make exceptions in special circumstances. “I think we ought to proceed on that one (the Post Office road), then take a methodical approach to the stub streets,” suggested Mr. Gooch. Mr. Reynolds said the town should determine the status of the stub streets, and if the council wants to ask VDOT to take them into the state system, that issue would be addressed separately.

Over the next five years, the inflation rate is expected to rise between 4 and 6 percent. Let's use the lower estimate and say that you purchase a *100,000 home with a *20,000 down payment. After one year, appreciating at only 4%. the house is worth *104,000 - or shows a *4,000 equity build-up profit. That's a 20% return on the down payment. Not bad. After five years, the house will be worth *121,665. That's over a 100% return on the cash invested. As you can clearly see, few other investments can match real estate. Also, you'll have to factor in the tax benefits of ownership. Will Inflation stay at 4 or 6%? That anybody's educated guess.

Arundel Newspapers Staff Photo/Lou Hatter William Slover has hung his shingle on Main Street. Newest barrister has general practice By LOU HATTER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer For attorney William A. Slover and his family, their move to Rappahannock County last summer was the beginning of an adventure, and the fulfillment of a dream. As a successful lawyer with a ■practice in Newark, N.J., Mr. Slover, his wife Terry and their son John often visited her parents, Helen and the late John Guthrie, at their home in Castleton. Mr. Guthrie was a commercial artist in Washington, D.C. who bought property in the county in 1957. The couple moved here to live when he retired in the mid-’70s. “We would visit here as often as we could,” Mr. Slover said. “One weekend, driving back on the New Jersey Turnpike about 9 p.m., we thought to ourselves, ‘Why are we doing this?’ And that was that.” In one sense, for Mr. Slover and his wife the move brought them closer to home, as well as to her parents. He grew up in Arlington, and Terry was raised in Annandale. Mr. Slover received his bachelor’s degree from George Washington University in 1980, and his law degree from George Mason Law School in 1983. From then on, Mr. Slover said, “it was just a matter of logistics: finding office space, selling our house, giving notice at my job.” Though he specialized in real estate law in New Jersey as an attorney for a title insurance company, the newest member of the Rappahannock County Bar Association said he is pursuing a general practice here. “In some ways my background is pretty well suited to general practice — real estate and criminal defense work is the backbone of a rural lawyer’s practice.” He is also representing indigent clients as a court-appointed lawyer. “I will take whatever cases the court appoints for me. I feel a responsibility to do my part.” He admitted that as he arrived in Washington, realizing that he had left behind a secure job for an unknown future, Mr. Slover felt a certain trepidation. “It’s a little frightening — you never know. ” , But from the beginning he said he found the atmosphere in Rappahannock County, and in the courthouse of its county seat, as fresh as the country breezes. As time goes on, he added, “I feel myself becoming more relaxed. The day to day acts of living are easier here.” Realtor adds $1,000 to eagle-killers reward By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock real estate agent Roger Batchelder has pledged an additional $1,000 to the reward being offered for information on the killing of a pair of bald eagles, found dumped near Sperryville last month. And a Palmyra couple, Norman Goldberg and Carole Marchesano, added another $1,000 to the reward, it was announced Tuesday. Those donations bring to $9,000 the standing reward for information that leads to a conviction. In a somewhat related incident, another bald eagle was killed recently near Richmond, Ed Clark said. Mr. Clark, president of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, said the method of killing was different and “there is no reason to think there is a connection, but with three eagles killed in a two-week period, it is not an isolated incident. There is a problem and a serious threat to the recovery of the bald eagle.” Mr. Clark said he knew of no new leads in the Rappahannock case. The Shenandoah National Park is the center of a “well-organized and egregious illegal trade focused on wildlife,” he said. “This is related to the types of things going on in and around the park in that it indicates that a callous disregard for the values of wildlife is still alive and well in Rappahannock County and other counties in the area,” Mr. Clark said. Mr. Batchelder said, “I’m a great enthusiast for keeping wildlife wild instead of dead. I can’t go out and find the guys muself, and this is the next best thing.” Last fall Mr. Batchelder pledged $1,000 to a reward fund for information on the poisoning of five bears in Colorado. He was vacationing in his summer home in Breckenridge, Colo., when he read about the poisonings near Meeker. Once he returned to Virginia he contacted the Colorado Division of Wildlife to offer help for that reward fund. The reward in that case has not been collected. Mr. Batchelder said he hopes his action will encourage others to make pledges to the reward fund “and get the reward higher, and maybe we can get results that way.” “The eagle is a beautiful animal,” he said. “It’s a shame to see it get exterminated this way.” Michie Continued from page A-1 tricting plans passed by both the Senate and House on April 9. Wilder told an assemblage of reporters April 11 that the Senate’s plan was “dead” when it was adopted. Wilder reportedly will seek five minority-controlled Senate districts, while the Senate provided only three such districts in the plan it adopted. The Senate currently has only two minority-controlled Senate districts. Sen. Michie serves on four senate committees: Transportation, Courts of Justice, Education and Health, and Rehabilitation and Social Services. He is a member of the Charlottesville law firm Michie, Hamlett, Lowry, Rasmussen and Tweel, specializing in wills, trusts and estates. Asked about concerns that Rappahannock might be overlooked in a district based in Charlottesville and about 90 miles long, Sen. Michie said he wouldn’t let that happen. “I think I have a very good record of coming to different commu 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SALE Save over *300 Thru April 30th Complete Systems From $36/Month 30 DAY Money Back Guarantee Over 1000 Satisfied Customers 636-1068 1515 Shenandoah Ave. / Front Royal.

He was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., grew up in Norfolk and moved to Charlottesville upon graduation from law school. His public service record includes five years (1965-1970) on the Charlottesville School Board, four years as secretary of the Charlottesville Housing Authority and a 30year affiliation with the Charlottesville Democratic Committee. He is a retired commander in the Naval Reserves. (Editor's note: Arundel Newspapers state political writer Jeff Nelson contributed to this report.) Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Justin Ferrence’s bat has been one of team’s highlights. Track team registers 2 strong performances By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The Rappahannock High track team registered five first-place finishes during a April 3 tri-meet againt Strasburg and Brentsville at Nokesville. Junior Ryan Welch took firsts in the long jump and triple jump, senior Matt Eidson was first in the mile and two-mile and senior Chris Stringfellow was first in the shot put and second in the discus. According to track coach Doug Hunter, Welch’s performance was no surprise. “He’s already thrown over the school record in practice,” said Hunter. All three: Welch, Eidson and Stringfellow, are expected to reach the state competition this spring, said Hunter. Other strong performances were turned in by freshman Jason Waters, third in the two-mile; senior Jeremy Tole, fourth in the 300-meter hurdles; and ninth-grader Sherri Thomas, who was second in the girls’ mile. Eighth-grader Jessica Arnold was fourth in the mile, but being an underclassman her points‘;ere not counted. The team continued to register strong individual performances during its April 10 tri-meet against George Mason and Manassas Park at Manassas. Eidson again won the mile and two-mile events handily, said Coach Hunter. Stringfellow broke the school shot-put record, but only finished second in the event. He came in fourth in the discus as well. Eleventh-grader Jason Fox took fourth in the 800-meter, his first time placing at a meet. For the girls, ninth-grader Amber Early won the 800-meter, and Thomas was first in the mile. Baseball team loses The baseball team had Brentsville where they wanted them last Friday, but let a five-run fifth inning tilt the game against Rappahannock, losing 7-2 April 12. The squad is not 1-6 in the Bull Run District, 1-7 overall. Monday’s ^ scheduled game against Central was cancelled on account of rain. The team plays Page County at home at 5 p.m. Friday, April 19. Softball now 3-5 The Rappahannock High girls’ softball team beat Brentsville 11-5 last Friday to up their mark to 3-3 in the Bull Run District, 3-5 overall.

Wakefield students taste the Big Apple . By KATHLEEN O’NEILL Rappahannock New* Contributinf Writer Thirteen students and three faculty members from Wakefield School in Huntly returned exhausted city-slickers after an excitement-packed trip to New York. The group attended the Columbia Scholastic Press Association convention at Columbia University in order to learn about various aspects of journalism. English Department chair Lee Buratti was accompanied by six staff members from Talisman, the school’s literary magazine. They were: Daphne Atkins of Washington; Bridget Butler of Mar shall; Laura Larimer, Jennifer Moreman and Kathleen O’Neill, all of Front Royal; and Alex Quincey of Warrenton. Through workshops, the students learned many techniques for improving their literary magazine. In order to make the yearbook “Virtus et Sapientia” even better, advisor Tutt Stapp-Harris attended the conference with four of her staff. Justin Harrell of Manassas, Tiffany Kesley of Warrenton, Alison Martin of Flint Hill, and Tim Roberts of Paris, Va. ^ The school’s newspaper, The Hoot, was represented by faculty advisor Julie Garst Duggan, accom panied by Michelle Egan of Warre'nton, Michael Irani of Front Royal, and Imogen Slade of Amissville. Every one of the groups learned a great deal at the Columbia workshops, everything from creating effective photographs to remembering oral poems. The trip was not all work, however. The students and facility had a chance to eat in an Ethiopian restaurant and also at the famous Hard Rock Cafe. During the evenings, they saw two Broadway musicals: “Mule Bore” and “Once on this Island.” The students topped off the trip with a climb up the Empire State Building and a midnight flower show at Macy’s.

The band’s new incarnation, Venus Jones, plays a benefit for the Washington Volunteer Fire Company at the Fire Hall, 8 p.m.-l a.m. April 20. The cost is $7. Band leader Vincent Day said the new name, chosen from a list of about 30 possibilities posted to the wall of their practice shack near Washington, came from an old episode of “I Love Lucy.” Singer Julie Coon was watching that show one day when Fred Mertz started talking about a popular boxer named, you guessed it, Venus Jones. “Picking a name is always a strain,” said Mr. Day last week as the band rehearsed for the Fire Hall gig. “No one can ever just come up with something, so we just kind of chip away at it.” Whatever the name, the band’s popularity stems from its brand of “eclectic dance music,” as percussionist Steve Hostetter put it. Mr. Day, Mrs. Coon, Mr. Hostetter and wife Mitch Hostetter (also a percussionist) are the four remnants from Crazy Eights. New to Venus Jones are bass player and Gid Brown Hollow sculptor Mike Doyle and singer-guitarist Frank Austin of Haymarket. The newly-formed band is hoping to recapture some of the popularity enjoyed by Crazy Eights, which routinely packed fire halls and private parties in Rappahannock. “Crazy Eights were real lucky. It got pretty crowded for a while, which was real neat. People around here like to rock ’n’ roll and dance all night,” said Mrs. Coon. “What’s great is that people of all ages come to our shows,” added Mr. Doyle. Venus Jones has been rehearsing twice a week for four and five hours at a time to get the new band mem Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Vincent Day is holdover from Crazy Eights.

The band plays at the Washington Fire Hall Saturday. bers familiar with the band’s repertoire of 50-60 songs. Mr. Day said the band “has some ambition, more than most. We want to play on a steady basis.. .” “And play well,” added Mr. Hostetter. Venus Jones played a party in Woodville two weeks ago and has a show at Airlie in Warrenton the day of the Fire Hall dance. If you miss them this weekend, Venus Jones will be playing at Zippers in Charlottesville at 10 p.m. April 24. Mr. Day said the band “plays around” with a fourtrack tape recorder, taping shows and band practices with the long-range goal of putting some of their original songs on vinyl (or laser disc) one day. Modesty, however, keeps them from making too many grand pronouncements about their future. “We really haven’t put that much energy into it,” said Mr. Day. Band members say they enjoy playing in their home county because the crowd gives them positive feedback and because “there are an awful lot of great musicians out here,” said Mr. Day. For example, at the Woodville party some members of the OKs joined them for some songs, and Mr. Day’s wife, Dinah Pehrson-Day, plays with them occasionally. The Hostetters are former members of the Lost Beatniks and Mrs. Coon and Mr. Day played in the past with the Big Bristols. “We’re getting into the distant history of rock ’n’ roll in Rappahannock now,” said Mr. Hostetter, who called it “a form of musical miscegenation.” All six members of Venus Jones have day jobs, and all six are parents. Mr. Day is a geologist, Mrs. Coon sells clothes and “mothers,” Mr. Hostetter is a cabinetmaker, Mrs. Hostetter is with the Fauquier Social Services and Mr. Austin is in graphics. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Mike Doyle, a sculptor, plays bass. Marshall paintings evoke emotions By CHARLES PARTINGTON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Two weeks ago in the Washington Town Hall, in a benefit for Save the Children sponsored by the Middle Street Gallery and RAAC, a short but lively program of dance, song and story raised the spirits of an appreciative audience. Written and directed by Laurie Marshall and danced and sung by Ms. Marshall and the dance group The Sunday Dreamers (Tutt Harris, Carol Lucking, Dancing Reed and Chris White), the program consisted of a series of loosely connected vignettes drawn from Native-American legends, personal recollections and individual dreams. The messages were upbeat from beginning to end. On view at the Middle Street Gallery are the paintings by Ms. Marshall that were featured in the performance. I found it very helpful to have been given information concerning the characters, occasions and stories implicated in the paintings, although, after viewing them, I felt the best paintings didn’t require any additional information to be keenly felt. Ms. Marshall’s paintings range from detailed portraits to fantastical dreamscapes. One very appealing painting, in fact, brings these two extremes together in a surprisingly interesting way. A small, two-panel portrait of her father opens to reveal snapshots of a dream he had in which he found himself holding light in his cupped hands and then returning that light to a river of light. The portrait is tellingly painted. Ms. Marshall’s absolute individuality is there in paint. The secret of doing portraits is in capturing the uniqueness that virtually every face posseses, and Ms. Marshall knows that secret. Older people have the best faces for portraits (and babies the worst) because so much of the civilization that every human being is shows up in the wear, the creases, and the patterns of wrinkles. A palimpsest of past expressions bleed through the moment in time. Another portrait is even more striking. An elderly woman, Blanche Doss Kennedy, is shown sitting in a room. Over her shoulder and out the window we get a glimpse of a garden filled with flowers. The face is beautifully painted and, again, distinctly individualized - there’s no mistaking this face for any other. The eyes are especially well-painted, and in them we see a disturbing combination of hope and resignation and faith amounting to determination and yet a kind of vacancy. Art show review She has a faraway look of someone whose mind has partially withdrawn from the world and whose eyes are fixed on things no one else can see. The garden over her shoulder is not outside the house in which she sits, but inside her mind. It is neatly painted with that crisp, dream-bright clarity that only exists in the imagination. We see the garden, her heaven, through her eyes. Vision and annihilation are both there in her eyes. She is sitting in a house, but in her mind the door to her heaven has opened a crack and she is looking in. Ms. Marshall has a talent for seeing the Byzantine complexity of the human face, the urban center of the civilization that is a human life. I find her landscapes less compelling. Of course, by its very nature, landscape painting is less charged with human emotion, and very few painters have ever succeeded in emotionally electrifying a landscape (Turner, Monet, and Degas, in his monotypes, are among the few). I can’t help but feel that, in these pictures and in the spacescape paintings, Ms. Marshall is not tapping her talents. The stag that she uses in a couple of these paintings illustrates the point I’m making. There is nothing individual in this stag. It’s generic. It might have been lifted from a poster. It doesn’t resonate. Again, Ms. Marshall is not alone in giving us stereotyped views of animals - very few, if any, painters have painted living, breathing animals. This reflects a species-wide prejudice. Even such accomplished “nature” painters, such as Robert Bateman, give us the empty shell of stereotypes. All the squirrels look alike, and, as a consequence, one specimen can represent the species. Ms. Marshall’s human faces resonate in specificity, her stag is a cardboard cutout. There is one painting in which this cardboard quality works to good effect. In “The Floor Cracked Open, Revealing Unborn Animals” we look down a hallway of a school to double doors marked “Exit.” The concrete floor is cracked open revealing a frog and a rabbit. They are unborn but they are adults - the rabbit is not an embryo, and the frog is not a tadpole. These are unborn adults and there is a wonderful, hardto-pinpoint Alice-in-Wonderland feeling to the painting. For me, it is the most successful rendering of a dream in the show, for it catches the quirky, skewed, upside-down, inside-out quality of dreams. In dreams, the imagination has a free hand and can do whatever it whimsically likes, and this painting gets that anythingis-possible feeling just right. The last painting I wish to discuss is, along with the Blanche Doss Kennedy portrait, my favorite. It’s entitled “Dreaming, Above and Below,” and shows a young boy floating in a pool of water next to a tree in an otherwise open landscape. In the daylight sky we see the Earth and, in the foreground, the Earth is cut away to reveal caverns and an underground spring. This painting works for many reasons and I can only give a few of them. The boy is wonderfully drawn, and again, highly individualized (as anyone familiar with the Marshall family will realize). His body is in the kind of awkward pose that is only possible for the waterborne. There’s a loving attention to the details of this idly buoyant body and the face is angelically clear. The caverns of the foreground are so beautifully integrated with the rest of the painting that their impact is deliciously subtle, while the Earth up there in the sky might be mistaken for another heavenly body, softening the fantastical effect. The caverns and the distant Earth turn the painting inside-out, and we find ourselves in the boy’s head witnessing his dream. The eerie glow of the sky and the lighting of the tree contribute to this transformation of a landscape into a dreamscape. Another moving aspect to the painting is the suggestion of a body floating in the uterus of Mother Earth. Here he floats, secure, peaceful, without a worry in the world, unborn and full of every dreamable possibility. It’s a wonderful thing to see human bodies in pools of water, and yet how seldom has it been painted. Ma. Marshall had a great idea and she made that idea into a beautiful painting. I urge everyone to see this interesting show. The show runs through April 28. Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday-Sunday. Ms. Marshall will be at Middle Street Gallery from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday, April 21. (Editor’8 note: Charles Partington is a Castletem resident.)

The party for Elder Richards was in observance of his twenty five years as pastor, having become pastor of Black Oak in January 1966. Hymns sang for his first service included Face to Face, Draw Me Nearer, He Leadeth Me and Rescue the Perishing, all of which were repeated for this service and his first message there was taken from scripture in Titus. Each Sunday School teacher including Sandy Goodall, Betty Smith, Barbara Tharp and Marie Atkins along with their students had a party on the program. Elder Roger Smith, assistant pastor, was master of ceremonies. When Elder Richards became a Christian and uiiited with the Mt. Carmel Regular Baptist Church of Luray, Elder Wayne Thompson was pastoring there and it was a great honor to have him present for this anniversary to bring the message to one of his sons in the ministry, which he did using as his text Rememberances, with scripture taken from II Timothy 1:1-3. Pastor and Mrs. Richards received several gifts from the church and these were presented by Sister Daisy Lucas, the oldest member; Brothers Owen Cubbage and John Dodson, deacons and by Marc Dodson, grandson of the Richard’s who presented a gift on behalf of the young people. Following the morning services a luncheon was held in the fellowship hall. The three tier cake baked by one of the church ladies was decorated with silver leaves. The activity committee composed of Marie Atkins, Barbara Tharp, Janet Settle and Stacy Smith planned the surprise program. Before coming to Black Oak Elder Richards had served as pastor of Beech Spring Regular Baptist Church for nine years and prior to then was pastor of Five Forks Regular Baptist Church for several years.

How could children created from the same genes possibly have such varied physical and emotional makeups! But just the same, we love each one God has promised us. His children, that He loves us all equally, regardless of the color of our skin, what language we speak, or whether we are crippled or whole. Our bodies are only the shells of the soul, and, in actuality, we are all souls striving to learn and to grow, and to survive in this earthly existence. The Bible tells us that we are “one body, one Spirit.” Come to God's house and discover how unconditionally God loves you. Experience this, and your heart will be filled to overflowing with the peace and warmth that God has in store for those who follow His example.
