Visitors ^mki t peruse the various booths on Gay Street in -bottom Wakefield board issued temporary restraining order By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer Circuit Court Judge Thomas Home sided with the Wakefield Board of Directors last week, granting the temporary restraining order (TRO) the board sought to keep Clydetta Lynn from evicting the school from the property and buildings it occupies and claims to own on U.S. 522 in Huntly. “We are very pleased because the rules of the court are very strict — if that judge didn’t believe we would prevail on the merits of the case he couldn’t have given us the order,” said H. Lynn Hopewell of Warrenton, chairman of the school’s Board of Directors. The judge declined to issue a TRO that would keep Pamela Lynn or her attorney, William Beeton, r from commenting in public op the matter. Speaking of “merits of the case,” Mr. Hopewell was referring to the suit filed two weeks ago by the board, asking the judge to determine who owns the six-plus acres and buildings of the school. Clydetta Lynn signed the property over to the Educo Trust two years ago, but the deed has not been recorded because the trust’s trustees, lawyers Robert Miller and William Bassett of Warrenton, were attempting to resolve three issues: the zoning of the property, the willingness of banks holding notes on the property to transfer liability from Clydetta Lynn to the Board of Directors and the result of an IRS letter of opinion concerning how See WAKEFIELD, p. A-7 1 Grand Jury indicts 5 The following persons were indicted by the Rappahannock Grand Jury during deliberations on Monday, July 8: • George Robert Embrey, 35, of Amissville, for perjury. He is accused of falsely testifying that he was not driving a motor vehicle during his trial for driving under the influence of alcohol. • Robert Wayne Franklin, 41, of Sperryville, for driving after having been declared a habitual offender. • Melvin C. Lohr Jr., 33, of Rixeyville, for driving after having been declared a habitual offender. • Arthur B. “Junior” Pullen Jr., 37, of Amissville, for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Pullen testified at the federal-court trial of Kenny Alii son, 36, of Marshall, that he obtained cocaine from Allison. Two months ago Pullen was indicted for possession of cocaine, but the May Grand Jury did not indict him for possession with intent to distribute. This term the same charge was presented again, and a key witness was able to testify, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. • Ernest Randolph Fletcher, 29, of Washington, Va., for driving after having been declared a habitual offender. • Two charges against James P. ‘DW VMUn, (&,«( Hill, were presented to the Grand Jury but it did not indict him for them: breaking and entering and grand larceny. Walters escaped from the county jail in May and is still at large. Inn's plans on hold Owners are reading surveys ByMARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The owners of The Inn at Little Washington, chef Patrick O’Connell and maitre d’hotel Reinhardt Lynch, are still poring over the individual questionnaires compiled by the Citizen’s Advisory Committee on The Inn’s planned expansion, Mr. O’Connell said this week. He said that when the committee was formed at The Inn’s request 14 months ago all planning for the expansion was put on hold, and that the partners have not determined whether they will accept any or all of the committee’s recommendations. “The news will be when we crystalize what direction we will be taking,” said Mr. O’Connell. Pressed to reveal The Inn’s plans, Mr. O’Connell said, “We spent a great deal of time on this subject with the Rappahannock News and the townspeople” when the 22-room expansion was announced last year, and that he and Mr. Lynch “are in no way interested in churning things up.” “The purpose of the report was the quell all that needless discussion and give everyone an opportunity to sit down and discuss their opinions in writing,” he said. He said he was pleased with the process of studying the expansion. “We decided we would wait and calmly address the isses through the committee, knowing full well that opposition always speaks loudest at See INN, p. A-7 Mrs. Snead at 84: retired but not slowed By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New. Staff Writer As she nears 85, Mary Quaintance Snead has slowed down some, but not much. She still plays bridge regularly, visits friends who are homebound or in nursing homes, and attends meetings of the Episcopal Church Women and the retired teachers’ organization. However, the education of Rappahannock’s children remains Mrs. Snead’s passion. She retired in 1977 following 48 years serving as teacher and principal in Rappahannock schools. She says she cut back on her activities when her late husband, Dr. John Snead, became ill. Since his death, she says she has been “getting repairs.” Early in June she had an operation to remove a cataract. The other eye was operated on three years ago. In late June she was in the hospital for an operation to repair a knee. This was also her second knee operation. She found both operations easier the second time. The last time her knee was operated on, she said the doctors did the sort of operation they do on injured football players. BLUE RIDGE NEIGHBORS When she started physical therapy, it was very painful. This time she was up exercising the same day as the operation. “I figured my football playing days were over, so I had the other kind of operation,” she said. In 1929 she came to teach at Sperryville school after two years teaching in Arlington. She was coming back to the county where she was born and where she had attended school starting in the one-room Smedley School in Gid Brown Hollow. She was seven when she started school. Her brother, who was six, and her little sister, who was four, started with her. Their teacher was their cousin Bertie Lib Moffett. “My little sister cried to go to school too, and Bertie Lib let her stay and she just kept going,” she said. “Bertie Lib was the only teaMRS.

Pace of st^te races heating up for Nov. Slaughter’s seat now open - By SHARON KILPATRICK ; R*pp»h»iinocli New* Staff Writer ■ Even before U.S. Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr., announced that he would resign his Seventh district seat in the House of Representatives effective with a special election Nov. 5, the pace of this election year had picked up. With Sept. 11 instead of the usual mid-June as the deadline for candidates to file, the political year was off to a slow start. The later deadline was set to accommodate the redistricting process. Political parties are now screening candidates to run in the newly drawn districts. In the 31st House of Delegates District, which will include all of Rappahannock County, most of Fauquier County and four precincts in Warren County, Jerry Wood has no opposition in the Democratic Party. He will probably be nominated at a convention in Rappahannock County. The Republicans are considering two Rappahannock County men. Richard McNear of Washington and Robert Darby of Woodville have both said they are interested in the nomination. , Local Republican Party Chairihan Walter Longyear said both men met with party chairmen from the three counties last week and will be meeting with the three county political committees next week. ; “They are both good candidates,” he said. “This will give them an opportunity to decide whether or not to continue based on what kind of support they have with party workers.” If both remain in the race, the outcome will be decided at mass meetings held in the three counties the last week in August, Mr. Longyear said. At that time delegates will be elected to the 31st District convention to be held Sept. 5 at Warrenton Junior High School. In the 25th Virginia Senate District, which includes StonewallHawthom District as it was drawn prior to redistricting, incumbent Sen. Thomas Michie of Charlottes Cat owner sought following biting ; Authorities are looking for the owner of a kitten that has been quarantined because she bit and scratched a couple who rescued her on Route 607 in Slate Mills. The cat is described as a female, black with white paws, wearing a green leather collar and a small bell. She is about 10 months old, and was described as friendly with dogs. She did not have any ID tag, so she has been quarantined in the Culpeper Animal Shelter until an owner can be found. Call Donna Creel at the shelter, 703-825-9599, if you can identify her.

On May 8 Edgar Robb, a former FBI agent, announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination. Mr. Longyear said he expects Mr. Robb to get the nomination and run a strong campaign. In the 26th Virginia Senate District, which includes the rest of Rappahannock County, incumbent Sen. Kevin Miller is unopposed for the Republican nomination. Local Democratic Party chairman Douglas Baumgardner said party chairman from the district, which includes parts or all of Rappahannock, Stafford, Culpeper, Fauquier, Page, and Rockingham counties and the City of Harrisonburg, will meet next week in Culpeper with two potential party nominees. He said Margaret Haines of Harrisonburg, who is currently a legislative aid to Sixth District Democratic Congressman Jim Olin, has expressed interest in running for the seat as has Bill Chase, a member of the Culpeper Board of Supervisors, who ran unsuccessfully against Sen. Miller four years ago. Mr. Baumgardner said the population of the district was shifted as a result of redistricting. Now 46 percent of the voters live east of the Blue Ridge mountains. Before redistricting only 35 percent of the voters were east of the mountains. He believes this shift will give a challenger to Sen. Miller a greater chance than Mr. Chase had four years ago.

Slaughter’s term. Mr. Longyear expects the Republicans to nominate either D. French Slaughter III, the congressman’s son, or George Allen, a member of the House of Delegates who is the son of the former Redskins coach. Both currently live in the Charlottesville area. Mr. Baumgardner said current Seventh District Democratic Party chairman George Gilliam was to meet earlier this week in Richmond with potential Democratic Party candidates. He said current candi dates are Mark Warner, a member of the highway commission from King George County who would have to move into the district to run for the seat; David Smith of Winchester, who ran unsuccessfully against Rep. Slaughter in 1990; and Lou Costello, a Frederick County la vyer, who ran unsuccessfully f inst Rep. Slaughter in 1984. Mr. Baumgardner said others had been invited to the Richmond meeting, but he did not believe any others are “serious candidates.” “It looks like it’s going to be a pretty lively year," he concluded.

At Tuesday night’s meeting he said the initial data seemed to show that the main problem was in kindergarten, where the largest number of failures occur. However, further study shows that only 5 percent of dropouts failed kindergarten. On the other hand, 58 percent of dropouts failed first or second grade, and 85 percent of dropouts failed twice. Dr. Gangel said the committee next set as its goals the reduction in the number of children retained in first and second grade and the reduction of the number retained twice. The group next listed reasons for failure and determined that the most important are the fact that some children fail to learn to read, are developmentally delayed or lack printed material in their homes. The committee now wants to explore some solutions including smaller class size, summer school, a transitional primary class between kindergarten and first grade, collaboration with outside agencies in a pre-school program, parent education, more discretion for teachers to refer students to the remedial labs before they fail the year, and a report card for the lower grades with more emphasis on individual progress and less emphasis on grades. Dr. Gangel said the work of this committee is in part the result of training the school system is receiving as part of the Xerox Quality Grant. He said he was also expecting the “Reading Recovery” remedial reading program for kindergardners and first graders to help with the problem with failure. This past year, eight students received help through this program, and next year 16 will. He said another teacher will be taking training in “Reading Recovery” next year. In other action the School Board: • Reelected Beverly Massie as chairman and Paul Nichols as vicechairman. • Appointed Cynthia Brandt and Christine Carlson to teaching positions at Rappahannock Elementary. • Appointed the following coaches and sponsors: cross country — Tim Corder, JV girls’ basketball — Amy Wolf, varsity girls’ basketball — Renee Leake, volleyball — Paul Paratore, JV boys’ basketball — Tim Corder, varsity boys’ basketball - Gary Leake, varsity cheerleading — Kelly Settle, 8th grade cheerleading — Layne Vickers, softball — Renee Leake, and baseball — Mike Tupper. • Accepted the contribution of an extra set of bleachers from the Lions’ Club. • Approved the application for Chapter I funding from the federal government. Extra funding is expected for the coming year that will enable the school system to hire an additional teacher at the high school to teach remedial reading. • Learned that Conaway Bus Sales of Pennsylvania wants an extra $4,155 per bus. The board accepted their low bid of $56,224 for two buses. The extra cost would make the company’s bid the highest. Dr. Gangel will ask for legal advice and probably give the bid to Salem Equipment for $62,662. • Learned that some high school teachers have formed an academic council and plan to develop requirements for an academic letter students can earn. Food Bank meets $100,000 goal “Hands Against Hunger,” the semi-annual fundraising appeal of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, met its spring goal of $100,000. The Thomas Jefferson Area Food Bank is one of four branches in the 25 county Blue Ridge Network. It serves the city of Charlottesville as well as Greene, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock, Orange and Nelson counties. “Food distribution to the needy is running at record levels,” said branch manager Dan Bucca. “It is gratifying to know that our donors have responded so generously to our appeal for operating funds.” The Verona based non-profit Food Bank now handles about six million pounds of donated food each year. Donated food is distributed free to the needy by 735 member agencies. ^Xappafyannotk JBttfcos offers FAX MACHINE SERVICES To send information: Any U.S. destination $5.00 first sheet $2.00 each additional sheet To receive fax information: $4.00 first sheet $ 1.00 each additional sheet Amissville lluritan Club's so-AipTOERSAIlY ...

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1991 Preserving Wakefield Determining who should run Wakefield School comes down to the best interests of the students — not of the Lynn family, not of the Board of Directors. On that criterion alone, we find the board clearly the more appropriate body to steward the school. It is truly sad that the dispute has resulted in a situation where the Lynns, who built the school and who, one would think, ought to have a rble in Wakefield’s affairs into posterity, can no longer be a part of the school’s administration. But the actions of Clydetta and Pamela Lynn in the last few months make it crystal clear that they are willing to destroy the institution to execute a seemingly irrational vendetta against the board. Significantly, the family itself selected the board members last year, apparently to avoid possible financial disaster. Now they-want to turn back the clock. But in the last two years the board has turned around the school’s finances, even pledging their own collateral to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars. That alone creates a sense of good intentions that the Lynns, sadly, fail to acknowledge. The charge, repeatedly made by Pamela Lynn, that the school’s curriculum is being destroyed, doesn’t hold water. In fact, the vast majority of the faculty voted for any changes that have taken place, and we hardly find those few changes are harmful. If headmaster Dr. Alan Saunders wants to change the curriculum — and again, we don’t think he really has — so be it. Educational institutions, like all of life, are subject to flux. Every school, from the most ramshackle one-room schoolhouse to Oxford University, changes its curriculum once in a while. Computers weren’t being taught at Wakefield when it opened, for one good example. More to the point, however, is an examination of the patterns of behavior on each side. The board dealt patiently — too patiently, we think — with Pamela Lynn’s grandstanding during the first months of this year. It took decisive and effective steps to control the finances, which were spinning out of control. And it has even been able to increase teachers’ salaries 10 percent while replacing an aging and dangerous bus fleet. On the other side, Pamela Lynn sent vitriolic and bitter letters to teachers and parents, she lashed out at the Educo Trust lawyers despite their efforts on her behalf and has announced her intention to start a new school. Clydetta Lynn has issued an eviction notice to 300-plus students who need Wakefield’s unique educational system. Neither woman apparently recognizes that the great majority of parents and teachers appreciate the new board’s actions. In short, the Lynns are threatening to destroy Wakefield — and ironically, they’re accusing the board of dismantling the school. Seven or eight months ago, a compromise should have been ironed out, leaving the Lynns with some input into the school’s affairs. Now that’s impossible. Whose money is it? Whose money is it anyway? Most of us probably wouldn’t be too happy to find the neighbors eavesdropping on discussions of our finances. The Smiths next door don’t need to know that we are carrying a big balance on our Visa card or that we’ve decided to let the car payments slide so we can have junior’s teeth straightened. For as long as anyone can remember, the tough choices about the state’s budget have been made in private. Six senior legislators - three from each House - convene in an office building or a private hotel room and divvy up the billions. Reporters and the public generally don’t find out about the meeting until it’s over; those who show up while the discussions are underway are locked out. This spring though, the American Civil Liberties Union, never reluctant to sue and never worried about what voters might think, is suing. It has asked a Richmond judge to declare the meetings illegal and order them stopped. A hearing is slated for July 17. We hope the ACLU prevails. We’re painfully aware that by taking their side we’ll feed the suspicions of those who believe the press is an agent of the political left - but because in this case the ACLU is right. After all, it is our money. / Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Molly, a 3-week-old Jersey calf at Jordan River Farm in Huntly, samples the foliage. Letters to the editor German says goodbye To the Editor: My time as a foreign exchange student in Rappahannock County is now coming to an end, and this seems to me the best way to tell everybody what a wonderful time I had and how much I got to like this area and its people. Rappahannock County, and especially little Washington, have become my home, the beauty of this area still fascinates me, and the kindness of the people makes it a very friendly and nice place to be. I want everybody, especially my family - the Fishers, my friends and teachers from high school, the people from church and Rev. Hobson, our minister, and all the children I have babysat for, to know that I am going to miss you all very much. I appreciate very much your welcoming and including me in this community, and thank you for everything you have done to make this the probably best year of my life. I won’t say goodbye to you all, >nly auf wiedersehn and take care. JULIANA VOLKMAR Washington Concerning The Inn ro the Editor: Concerning changes at “The Inn it Little Washington.” I was told by a civic leader in Culpeper that the town has always been careful about the size of business establishments proposing to move in. In this way the demise, for whatever reason, of any single business did not equate with economic hardship for the entire community. G.H. SHARP Washington No comfort for the ill To the Editor: Reflecting on last weeks Rappahannock News editorial, I think it would be safe to say that one should not look to this newspaper for sympathy should one become ill. With attitudes such as the one that the paper presented last week, it may behoove Congressman Slaughter to place a large phone book, or an occupied sign, on his House chamber seat whenever he is not present. It is important to realize that alternate ways to communicate exist other then articulation. In fact, Congress would be a whole lot better off if these alternatives were explored. There is a lot more to being a Congressman besides making dramatic patriotic speeches before the TV camera for the benefit of the constituents at home. Actions speak louder than words, and that is just what French Slaughter has given us over his career in politics. I am certain that we can trust Congressman Slaughter to know when he needs to step down. As always, he has considered the taxpayer in his choice of dates, (ie. A FAMILY AFFAIR ONE. THING VOU CAN''—^ ^ SAY FOR THE DEMOCRATsV^ THEy SURE KNOW hOW TO SELF DEVTRUCT [THE REAL] WINNERS special election combined with general election). It will be hard to find another wise and quiet candidate to replace Congressman D. French Slaughter. JOHN LEKANDER Sperryville What's going on here? To the Editor: I just heard (WJFK) Howard Stem’s recording of the raucous and pushy gay pride paraders in New York. He claims they engaged in physical displays, cross-dressing, S&M demonstrations and other ridiculous put-ons. Also according to his report, detractors lined the curbs chanting, “Thank God for AIDS.” Before the Sixties was quite dead, Bob Dylan sang “Don’t follow leaders and watch the parking meters” - words which prove prophetic today. Pot busts for minor traffic infractions are frequent. And it is obvious that gays who wish for social respect and civil equality are being badly misled. Wide-scale infiltration of protest groups began at the time of the Free Speech Movement in Berkeley. Sometime afterward the government decided to provide deep cover leaders for the opposition to render it relatively ineffectual ... or worse, in the case of gays. Duped gays seem their own worst enemies, accepting the line that AIDS, caused by a virus originating in a laboratory monkey and described by one bioengineer as a perfect example of what science could do if it tried; which attacks mainly gays, drug users and blacks; is in reality an accident of time. This in the light of published information showing government involvement in the misuse of every conceivable chemical, biological agent, and mental influence (religion, psi, hypnotism, subliminals) which could help them realize their secret agenda. As a final solution to world problems, AIDS reflects more to atrocities of Hitler than the freedom and justice which America needs to perpetuate to maintain itself as a great power in the political and social evolution of this planet. Certainly there is knowledge in the brain and something warmer in the heart than ice within some of Rappahannock County’s retired “civil servants,” which would enable them to blow the whistle on the slow motion but steamrolling holocaust to which millions are already succumbing in the name of the New World Order. Hey, why not do it now? Save yourself some embarassing questions at the time of your eternal resurrection. The time for a loving population reduction and genetic uplift has not yet arrived. But that day will come, for sure. PETER B. HOLLEY Boston This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 20 YEARS AGO July 8, 1971 The Rev.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Lisa CJ. Currie Buying Blue Ridge Grocery four years ago was a ‘dream come true’ for Jack Sharp. Blue Ridge serves Chester Gap Former Subaru serviceman changes careers By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Blue Ridge Grocery has been a part of the Chester Gap community for many years. Now, it has an entirely new look, a new owner and a variety of new items for sale. Jack Sharp bought Blue Ridge Grocery four years ago this July. For the Newport News Subaru service manager it was a dream come true. “I always wanted to have a little store,” he said, standing behind the original counterspace in the tiny one room store, located just off U.S. 522. The white walls are dotted with antiques of various types and eras. Old metal painted advertisements, an ancient scyth, a horse saddle, reins and an old sewing machine fill up the spaces around the top of the store. The shelves host unique wooden crafts mostly made by Mr. Sharp and his wife. A wooden cherry pie or a rooster, small wooden bears, or bird houses, hand-made wrapping paper or carefully cut snip-n-snear prints are some of the items which line the few shelves in the store. Between the crafts and simple collectable antique pieces are bottles Of cleanser, a bottle of dishsoap or two cans of tomato paste, a pack of thumbtacks or a toothbrush. Not several of these items, just one or two are set out in the store. There are chips and sodas and candybars beside the ancient counterspace. The old register and several jars of penny candy take most of that space. It looks like the country store from an old movie complete with wood stove and wooden barrels. It’s just like Jack Sharp wants it to be. Mr. Sharp spent years wandering the countryside looking for a country store to buy. “I looked from West Virginia over,” he said, shaking his head in memory. “Nothing was right.” Until he found the store once owned and managed by Henry Reager. Joshua P. Swatman Joshua Swatman earns scholarships Joshua Paul Swatman, 17, of Amissville received two scholarships for his freshman year at St. Andrews (N.C.) College. He was named a St. Andrews Honors Scholar and was awarded an Academic Honors Scholarship of $4,000 per year, for a total of $16,000 for his four years at St. Andrews. The scholarship will remain in place as long as Josh maintains at least a 3.2 grade point average. He also received a $400 scholarship from the Julia E. Boddie Scholarship Committee for his second semester at St. Andrews. “I knew this was the right one when I saw it,” he said, explaining the day he saw the store he put a deposit down. “My friends and family thought I was crazy,” he said with a smile, adding, at first, there was little support for his new purchase. Today, after the exterior has been given a new coat of paint, the inside refurbished, a bathroom installed, and other decorative and home maintanence items finished, the store feels like home to Mr. Sharp. “I can’t wait to get here on the weekends,” he said, adding due to his job, his store is open “on ocassion, whenever I can get here.” Familiar faces frequent the store when the door is open — and when it’s not. “In the winter, people see the smoke coming from the chimney, and drop in,” he said with pride, adding when the store first opened, he kept the shelves stocked with store essentials. “I just wasn’t here enough to help the stock move,” he said, explaining the limited supply of items and the variety. “Now, I keep what a few’ might need, sodas and chips and odds and ends,” he said. He said on a busy day he might get 10 visitors though many an afternoon passes with just a few customers. It’s not a discouragement for Mr. Sharp. He has hopes for his store. When retirement arrives for Mr. Sharp, he hopes to fill all three rooms — at present, two are used as living space when he visits — with store and craft essentials, making the tiny store a mercantile landmark. Right now, the store is in the molding phase. There is no phone and no delivery. When items are required to stock a thinning .supply, Mr. Sharp stops at the Price Club for items. Traveling with his wife, Mr. Sharp has acquired things from around the United States. The huge covered wagon in the yard w'as brought via truck from Oklahoma. “I just see things at yard sales or garage sales and pick them up,” he said of several of his antiques and collectables. “Many times, people will just give me stuff because they know of the store,” he said.

James Leake of Sperryville Realty said, “It’s dead as a doornail. I’m in my 19th year in the business, and this is the worst time I’ve ever seen. I don’t see anything picking up yet.” On the other hand, Peggy Clark of Rappahannock Realty was more optimistic. “People are starting to come out more,” she said. “The phones are ringing again.” So far this hasn’t resulted in many sales. More people are looking, but few are buying, she said. “They’re looking for small parcels of land for building lots. Houses are not moving,” she added. She said she was fortunate to start in real estate in 1972, “when it was really moving.” Since then she has seen several downturns, “It goes in and out of these tunnels,” she said. “To make a living, you have to work very hard.” “We’re as hopeful as we can be that it’s about to turn around,” she said. “It won’t be fast. This has been very hard for the people who are trying to sell.” Eileen Day said, “We’re in an age of realism right now.” She said her firm had a flurry of contracts in February, “but then everybody crawled back into a hole.” She says a few people are looking now, but not many contracts are being written, and some fall through because they depend on the buyer selling another property or because of problems with financing. “One thing that is making it harder is financing,” she said. “The banks say they have money to lend, but once you get a buyer in touch with a mortgager, the rules change. They keep moving the goalposts.” She said one buyer was just days from closing when the bank said it would need appraisals on three comparable properties within a mile of the property to be sold. “In Rappahannock you usually can’t find one comparable property within a mile,” she said. “That’s really stretching everyone’s credibility.” “It all goes back to the S&L crisis,” she added. “They made a lot of mistakes, and now the consumer, who had nothing to do with it, is hav ing to pay.” She said buyers in Rappahannock are frequently looking for second homes. “We used to sell land with a marginal farmhouse on it,” she said. “Now that marginal farmhouse is giving trouble when it comes to financing. If it’s not a three-bedroom rambler with a full basement, they don’t know what to do with it.” She is concerned that this will impose too much conformity in housing. “I think our market has started to recover,” she added. “It might be safer if it is a slow steady upswing.” Those in the building industry also see some signs of an upswing. Building inspector Richie Burke said his office has issued 26 building permits for new houses in the first six months of 1991, compared to 62 in all of 1990,'74 in 1989, and 80 in 1988. He said the first three months of this year were very slow, but that applications started picking up in April. He expects an increase in early fall from people who want to get their house under roof before winter weather sets in. Mr. Burke said he believes the total of building permits for new houses in 1991 will be above last year’s but probably not above the total for 1989. Another difference compared to last year, is that more “upscale custom homes are being built,” Mr. Burke said. Figures from the building office show that the average value of houses built in 1990 was $85,200. The figures for the first six months of this year show an average value of $106,000. However, this is still below the average of $117,400 for 1989. There has also been a tendency for more people to remodel or build additions on existing houses, Mr. Burke said. In 1988, 44 permits were issued for additions or renovations to houses. Figures are not available for 1989, but in 1990, 70 such permits were issued. So far in 1991, 34 permits have been issued for additions or renovations. “When money is tight, people tend to remodel,” Mr. Burke said. “In some cases the additions are bigger than the original house.” Tom Taylor, who does general contracting work, agrees there is more activity now. “There are quite a few people looking and pricing, and we’re doing a lot of bidding, but it is difficult to nail a contract down,” he said. He also said that financing is a problem for some of the people interested in having him build them a home. “We’re very hopeful the recession is bottoming out, but it will be this time next year before construction really gets going good,” he said. He said he had been hoping for a drop in the price of building supplies, but those prices are not dropping. He did add that competition is forcing subcontractors to submit lower bids. “I’m*a very optimistic person,” he said. “I think we’ll be fine. This is going to weed out the guy who calls himself a contractor but doesn’t put in the effort or stand behind his work, and we’ll be back to normal. ” Amy Kellert named to attend Girls' Nation Amy Kellert will be leaving this Saturday to spend a week at Marymount College in Arlington as one of Virginia’s two representatives to Girls’ Nation. Miss Kellert won the right to represent the state at the conference when she attended Girls’ State at Longwood College June 16-20. There with fellow Rappahannock High students Melissa Alther and Sherron Boddie, and 605 other girls from Virginia, she was assigned to one of 12 “cities.” Two girls from among these 12 were chosen by the counsellors at Girls’. State based on their handling of a question from the current politics. Miss Kellert, who is the daughter of A1 and Cheryl Kellert of Amissville, will be a senior at Rappahannock High next year.

Inn Continued from page A-1 the outset,” he said. Mr. O’Connell said there was “no new information in the citizens’ report. It’s just statistically clearer and enlightening,” and that they have not begun reading the individual questionaires yet. He said some of the recommendations in the report, regarding parking and septic capacity, were in his view not significant hurdles. Sadies of traffic and septic that were commissioned by The Inn last year, he said, “basically . . . indicated there would be no difficulty in dealing with the town’s concerns.” The traffic study indicated that the previously announced expansion plan would only add 1 percent to the traffic flow. About septic, Mr. O’Connell stated: “Obviously we’re not going to create a septic field that doesn’t work.” He said The Inn has not set any timetable for pursuing the expansion, but left little doubt it would do so eventually. “I think it’s clear that we and our business need to grow,” he said. Confirming reports that The Inn has had offers to relocate if the environment in Washington is not conducive to that growth, Mr. O’Connell stated that during the beginning of the “controversy” the owners were receiving “about three offers per day from Realtors, towns and other people who would find an operation such as ours only a plus.” They amounted to a “staggering amount” of proposals to move, he said. “In every way a clean asset with prestige is what every small town dreams of,” he said. However, he added, “We have faith that we will come to a very happy resolution here. The town and county are every day warming to the Correction The color photo on Page A1 of last week’s paper was not, as the cutline stated, an example of Tanya Richey’s artwork, on display at Middle Street through July. It was a shot of the full moon, taken by staff photographer Cindy Mahan two weeks ago. The Rappahannock News regrets the mix-up. idea of The Inn’s expansion.” Washington Mayor Dean Morehouse said he agrees, but called the last plan “very ambitious” and “too big.” He had positive words for the business and its owners. “I think they’re a positive influence. They allow us to run a government without the burden of a tax base,” said' Mayor Morehouse. The Inn is “the type of thing the town ought to promote. It provides tourism and clean revenue,” Mayor Morehouse said. He added that it would be “a tragedy” if The Inn were to move out of Washington. “They’re good for the town, and we’re good for them as well. This is a unique little town.” “I live right across the street from them,” said the mayor. “As neighbors they have been really super guys, very respectful. We’ve had no problems at all with The Inn.” He added that “their charitable nature in the community has been proven time and time again. They’re good corporate citizens.” “They just enjoy helping others,” said Mayor Morehouse. “There will be some who make that into zoning for dollars. But they did much of that before they ever started planning for expansion.” “The other thing I would say about them is their accomplishments. I don’t think very many people really understand the rarity of the distinctions they’ve earned, and ho\f few businesses ever achieve that kind of success. They are very elite on the eastern seaboard. There art only three or four [other restaurants] that have achieved those kinds of designations,” said the mayor. rnamm w Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Reinhardt Lynch, left, and Patrick O’Connell. Wakefield Continued from page A-1 Mrs. Lynn’s tax status would be affected by the change in ownership. In May the first of several lawsuits was filed when Pamela Lynn, Clydetta Lynn’s daughter-in-law and a co-founder of the school with the late Dr. William Lynn, asked the court to reinstate her family as the school’s operators. She withdrew the suit a week later and claimed in a meeting of the Wakefield Parents Association (WPA) that Mr. Bassett and Mr. Miller were committing “grand larceny” of the school. She also said she would be starting a new school on the same site next year, and announced that Clydetta Lynn was evicting the board from the property. That meeting led to the request for the TRO and to a libel suit filed by lawyer Miller against Pamela Lynn. Following last week’s granting of the TRO by Judge Horne, the whole • matter heads for a hearing at a yetundetermined date on the issue of who owns the property, Clydetta Lynn or Educo. Mr. Hopewell said the board is confident that the TRO gives the board the ability to hold classes on the site for the coming school year. He said that because of well-known delays in the legal system, it will probably be some time next year until the matter is resolved, and even if Clydetta Lynn is determined to be the owner, which Mr. Hopewell said he doubts will happen, “I don’t think any judge would throw out a 300student school in the middle of the year.” Native American performs in Luray Native American singer and songwriter Bill Miller of Nashville, Tenn. will perform at the second installment of this year’s Bluemont Concert Series in Page County on Saturday, July 13, held at Inn Lawn Park on Zirkle Street in Luray. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. and a requested donation is asked of $3. For more information about the Bluemont summer schedule, write Bluemont, Box 208, Leesburg, Va. 22075 or call 703-777-6360. Pamela Lynn did not return repeated phone calls, and Clydetta Lynn refused comment this week. Asked what would happen if the school were evicted, Mr. Hopewell said, “Our school is where the faculty is. I think the parents send their children to Wakefield for the faculty, primarily.” Asked about statements by Pamela Lynn and teacher Kay Larrieu indicating support for the Lynns among Wakefield teachers, Mr. Hopewell said, “They have to answer the question then, ‘Why did 21 members of the faculty, of their own volition, sign letters to parents saying they supported the current administration and current board?’ ” Asked about Pamela Lynn’s status as a Wakefield employee, Mr. Hopewell said the Wakefield board discussed the issue Monday night. “Our conclusion is that she has quit. She stated she plans to start another school, and she can’t teach in two places at one time.” She taught seventh grade at the school last year. Also Monday night, said Mr. Hopewell, the board instructed its attorneys to continue to negotiate with the Lynns. “We’ve made offers with [Pamela Lynn] that haven’t been answered. We’ve been trying very hard to settle this, and we’ve asked our attorneys to continue.” About rumors that parents are pulling their children out of Wakefield, Mr. Hopewell said they aren’t true. He said that four parents have requested to be released from their contracts, and two were moving out of the area. The other two were Concerned about unrest at the school, he said. “Our focus is on maintaining the quality of Wakefield and on building the institution. All of our decisions have been made toward building something lasting,” he said. “It’s a struggle and a regrettable struggle, but we feel we have to struggle away if we’re going to build something better,” he said. In an interview two weeks ago, Mr. Hopewell discussed what the board faced when it took over from a Lynn-family-run board in March 1990, and what it has accomplished so far. He said the school was on the “brink of financial collapse” at that time, and stated the dire situation was one of Pamela Lynn’s motivations for passing control of Wakefield to an independent entity. Within months individual board members pledged their personal collateral to extend the school’s credit further to meet a $180,000 shortfall in that year’s budget. The board made an overview of the school's finances and took two steps: increasing tuition 12 percent and increasing bus fees to make transporation self-sufficient. Again a board member used his or her (Mr. Hopewell would not say who it was) personal guarantee to purchase five new buses at a cost of $250,000. The actual new cost to the school was much less because maintenance on the aging fleet had been running. Teachers were given 5 percent raises both of the last two years, he added. As a result of those and other actions, said Mr. Hopewell, the school was in position this year to have “a modest surplus” for the first time, at least the first time in the last few years — until legal fees began piling up in recent months. Wakefield may still break even this year, he said. He said records were missing or jumbled so the current board doesn’t have a clear picture of the school’s financial history further back than five years or so. Concerning Pamela Lynn’s oftrepeated charge that the board and headmaster Dr. Alan Saunders (who succeeded Pamela Lynn) are destroying the curriculum, Mr. Hopewell responded, “The academics of the school were our least concern, and still are. That part of the school, at least, is in strong condition.” He said that Wakefield pays Clydetta Lynn about $10,000 a month in debt service and rent and has continued the payments during the legal battling. Of that amount, said Mr. Hopewell, the board can’t figure out why it is making a $1,900 payment each month to Clydetta Lynn. He said repeated requests by the board to Clydetta Lynn for documentation supporting the payment have been ignored. Meanwhile, he said, relations between Pamela Lynn and the board and between her and Dr. Saunders deteriorated, leading her to attack the school’s direction in a series of statements and letters. Finally she was stripped of her title of vice president for curriculum and reprimanded. “I want [the public] to know that this board acted responsibly and prudently and with consideration when we reprimanded Mrs. [Pamela] Lynn,” said Mr. Hopewell. He said she was disciplined in February for “insulting” Dr. Saunders, the board and the faculty; for “intemperate behavior" toward her students and was told not to “drag students into adminstrative matters," which Mr. Hopewell said she did when she read administrative material to her students during classtime.

Mrs. Snead Continued from page A-1 cher I had until I went to high school.” She rode her horse to and from Washington to high school. She remembers driving to Washington in a carriage to attend church and visit her grandmother at The Meadows on Sundays. They had to pay a toll to use the road. “It wasn’t more than a nickel, but the roads were terrible,” she said. She attended dances as a young child. With the other small children she would curl up on the floor and fall asleep while her parents danced. Later, as a teenager, she remembers that when dates came to take the girls to dances the mothers went along. “The side walls were lined with chaperones,” she said. “They were good-looking women.” When she came to Sperryville to teach, the school was both an elementary and a high school. It was on the property where That Sperryville Emporium is now. She taught sixth and eighth grades, and one year she taught high school biology, but mostly she taught seventh grade. “I liked seventh grade better than any other grade I taught,” she said. “I’m not sure why, but they’re so unpredictable. They’re so grown up one minute and like little children the next.” She was also the girls’ basketball coach, and for 15 years her teams were undefeated. Coaches weren’t paid and the team had to sell candy to pay for balls and uniforms. She didn’t have school buses to get to and from games either. She took the girls in her car, some riding in the rumble seat, and she took those who lived on the backroads home with her after the games and brought them back to school the next day. The schools they played against were almost always larger than Sperryville, which had fewer than 100 students. “Once we played Lane APPAHAMOCR ' ." *1 iti . s\ > < ^ ^NN NN NN ,N«X* N NN N^ S > NN N NN N N N ' < f. gS 'V ^ £ S sN * •>.;• . •■••>•• .. s N NX- NJ.N N * ' N X •><:•: NNN • NNN M n<- ‘ ' - s n - ■• 703/675-3338 tmi Only $3.95 per week for a 1 inch space! :<N’>&N,C.>rN-.i^.SVN"WrNNN<VVNNV.NVvXNvX>>.VvL-AWlv>X<NN'“<N<NvX<N<S<S<NV.<<NNV:<N<<<W.%N<<N>>:v.%NN<<<N<<-.N,X>XN<-:<<<<<<‘:NNN<<NvXN<vXv»*:v’.,Xv.V.NN-:<vX,:<vXv:vX<;|^^^:::.™^|^jj^Vj^;;^;;^:j^.>^:.;;^^;^^J|«^^^;^>X; ;x^XNX^Sx^;;X<;:;:;:x;;;:xx-:;xNTr::;xSx<:Nv:;S>::::xxx:::x::'Nx:^;>;::N-:xx:TNN-:::-x<^xSxxxx :y.X;;:->x-x>x->>:-:--x-x-x-x--x-xv •Xvx:-:-x->X'X-x*:-x-x-x-Xnn->:-:-:->x-x-x-:-:->:n-x :v>?:-Xvs: i5££ ANTIQUES COUNTRY HERITAGE Antiques & Crafts Visit our two shops on Main St. Washington, VA 703/675-3738 Cloud Tuet & Wed ARCHITECTURE WILLIAM B.

Mrs. Snead attributes her success as a coach to the natural ability of her girls. One of her former players has another explanation. “You know the way she blinks those eyes,” she said. “We were afraid to mess up.” When she first started teaching, Mrs. Snead didn’t find her education courses much help. “You either know how to deal with children or you don’t,” she said. “I know I did some very unusual things nobody would suggest in a textbook. What seems so great on paper doesn’t really work out.” “I loved every day of teaching,” she said. “I tried to figure out what was going on their heads. I could remember the way I felt at their age. These children were reacting the way I would have reacted if I’d had the nerve. You have to identify with them. I don’t think some people can do that.” “You have to be really interested in the children and really like them,” she said. “They knew that even when I punished them, I still liked them.” Mrs. Snead believes her greatest success was in teaching math, even though that wasn’t her favorite subject in school and she hadn’t studied any math since high school. Particularly challenging was teaching the students to figure out which formula to use in solving percentage problems. ‘ “I had to teach myself, and that put me on their level,” she said. After lots of practice, her classes always learned to do percentage problems. “I think a person of average or a little better intelligence sometimes makes a better teacher than a brilliant one,” she said. “The brilliant one may be on too high a level to put the information on a level where the student can understand.” One thing Mrs. Snead doesn’t miss about teaching was the annual county commencements. All the elementary students in the county took part in these events at the Washington school. They brought projects they had made at school and displayed them. Then each class was expected to provide some entertainment. The Board of Supervisors and School Board sat on a platform during the entertainment and “some fell asleep,” she said. In the afternoon there was field day competition across the street. “It’s a wonder somebody was not killed with all those children turned loose,” she said. The teachers had to turn their registers in at the commencement. “Sometimes you had to sit up half the night finishing them,” she said. She said several of the teachers tried, without success, to convince the county government to end the commencements. When World War II started, the commencements ended. “I always said if the war didn’t do any other good but that, it was worth it,” she said. Mrs. Snead has advice for those starting out in teaching. “The best thing a teacher can do for herself is to go to the home of each child in her class as soon as she can,” she said. “Once you have been in the home and made contact with the parents, you’ve got them on your side. They know if you’ve taken enough interest to come see them, you’re going to be interested in their child. It’s hard to do, but it’s important. Too often no one from the school contacts the parents unless the children are in trouble.” She also advises teachers to get to their rooms each day before the children start arriving. “Be there to welcome the children to the room.” “You’ve got to be fair,” she added. “Be sure you mean what you say. A good sense of humor is very necessary. Don’t raise your voice and don’t talk too much.” In 1950 Mrs. Snead became principal of Sperryville Elementary. It was considered a part-time job and she continued to teach seventh grade English, math and physical education. The other seventh-grade teacher taught the rest of the subjects and was the school librarian. During this time the PTA raised money to convert the former shop building into a kitchen and cafeteria. “We ate in shifts and had good food,” she said. She remembers someone from the health department came to inspect the new cafeteria. She said the * only criticism was that the serving line lacked a “sneeze bar.” At that time the Thornton River was pol* luted as it flowed past the schools She told him to clean up the river and “then come talk to me about g sneeze bar.” It was during her tenure at Sperryville that county schools were integrated. “We really lucked out on that,” she said. “There had always been a good relationship between blacks and whites here, and people had seen enough of what happened in Warren County, where they closed the schools to try to buck inter gration.” In 1969 Mrs. Snead became prim cipal of the new consolidated Rappm hannock County Elementary SchooE This job was considered full-time, and she left the classroom. “I missed it,” she said. She took the advice of Robert Leonard, recently retired director of instruction in Warren County. “He told me if I wanted to know wha£ was going on in my school to walk the halls before classes start and the. last 15 minutes before the bell rings; at the end of the day,” she said, “You can tell where help is needed in: the classroom.” She found evaluating teachers the most difficult part of the job.; There was a form that she, the assistant principal and the teacher each filled out independently. Then they would get together for a conference. “The poor teachers always gave themselves better grades than th$ good ones,” she said. “It’s hard to evaluate teachers,* she said. “Sometimes your weakest teachers give something to some students your best teachers can’t.” Mrs. Snead thinks she knows why unsuitable people went into teaching in the days when she first started. “That was about the only thing that was proper for a woman to do,” she said. “If you talked about becoming a nurse, your grandfather was horrified that you were going to be bathing naked men.” She is not sure why, with sp many other opportunities, people unsuited to teaching are still doing it. “You have to love children ana love teaching. If I hadn’t loved it, J would rather have scrubbed floors^she said. Butterflies, guns: new Virginia! laws are officially on the books By JEFF NELSON Arundel New (paper? Staff Writer July 1 is the uncelebrated but important day unofficially known as “law day.” This year, 616 new laws took effect on that date, all of them passed by the General Assembly in January and February. The new laws vary in seriousness and impact. On the less serious side, the tiger swallowtail butterfly became Virginia’s official state insect July 1. The brightly colored bug narrowly beat out the endangered praying mantis for the auspicious crown. The praying mantis eats its young — making it too much like some politicians, said some of the legislators in the sarcastically serious debate on the subject. On the more serious side, the General Assembly passed laws affecting such rights and privileges as the purchase of cigarettes and guns. New this year is a law raising the legal age for the purchase of cigarettes and other tobacco products from 16 to 18. The law establishes a $50 fine for both minors who illegally buy cigarettes and the people who sell them to minors. The lawmakers used the last minutes of the Assembly this year to require that the purchasers of any firearm undergo an instant criminal background check. The Virginia instant check system is being used as a model for other states interested in installing gun control that stops short of a waiting period or an outright ban on guns. New laws on the books also make it illegal to “recklessly endanger” anyone 14 years old or younger by leaving a loaded gun around the house. The penalty for that crime'is $500. On the drug front, the lawmakers raised the ante for drug dealers by increasing their fines froijo $100,000 to $500,000. According tj> published reports, however, Virginia has never imposed the $100,000 fine and averages less than $2,000 per conviction in fines. The lawmakers also included community centers in the drug-free zones that now cover only schools'. To be arrested in a drug-free zone carries a mandatory jail term. iFauquier County now has the authority to prohibit its employee's from jumping ship to work for individuals or companies on project^ that the former county employee had responsibility for regulating or planning. The prohibition is limited to one year. | Fairfax County was granted a bit broader power. That county iriay now force its residents to cut thetr' grass.

Visitor came from afar for Washington's Fourth The town of Washington had lots of outof-town visitors join local residents for the annual July 4th celebration. “The person who traveled the farthest for the 1991 celebration was probably Sarah Miller from New Zealand,” said Helen Smith, Extension agent. Sarah is a 4-H IFYE (International Fowr-H Youth Exchange) delegate who is visiting in Rappahannock County for three weeks during her six-month exchange program in the U.S. Sarah’s host family is Kent, Nancy, Alice, and Rob Reeve. Alice and Rob are members of the 4-H Livestock Club. Sarah, who is 23 years old, is a member of the Young Farmers Club, an educational organization for 16 to 25 year olds. The Young Farmers Club is sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture in New Zealand, just as the 4-H Clubs are sponsored by the Extension Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Ms. Miller said she enjoyed the colonial ft MM ft dances and sampling all the food on July 4th. “The American lamb burgers and sliced lamb sandwiches were excellent,” she said. Her family has lamb or mutton three or four times each week since lamb is a staple of the diet in New Zealand. The Randall Updike family donates lamb that the 4-H Livestock Club sells each year at their fundraiser. Ms. Miller also commented that she was amazed at the price of New Zealand lamb in American supermarkets when she went grocery shopping with a previous host family. Ms. Miller, who has a degree in agriculture, is engaged in farming with her father and works as a substitute teacher during the school year. Her family has a 600-acre farm and raises 1,500 sheep, 150 pigs and horses. She will speak to the 4-H Livestock Club at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, July 15 at the Extension office. She will present a slide program on her family’s farming operation and her Young Farmer activities. The public is invited.

Feast entertains 24 from Washington By BEVERLEY SEAY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Twenty-four metropolitian area travelers ventured out Sunday, June 30, for a leisurely trek through scenic Rappahannock County. During the roving four-hour, four-course “Movable Feast,” lucky guests sampled a wide array of foods, and toured local bed and breakfasts. Included in this tour were The School House Restaurant & Inn, Blue Knoll Farm, Conyers House, and Sycamore Hill House. A glass of Virginia wine, a breathtaking view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and some of chef Andrew Clark’s favorite hor d’oeuvres awaited guests at The School House Restaurant. Owner Sheila O’Brien was on hand to show off the fully restored tum-of-the-century school house, which offers fine dining in three original classrooms, as well as two spacious and unique suites. Only a few miles, as the crow flies, down a quiet country lane surrounded by rolling hills and wild flowers, lies Blue Knoll Farm. Richard and Joy Cartwright-Brown were the perfect hosts for salads and tales of transforming their 19th Century farmhouse into four tastefully decor rated guest rooms. Antiques and family mementos are evident throughout and every effort has been made to give a feeling of quiet retreat. The Conyers House was the stop for dinner. Once known as Conyer’s Old Store (1815), the inn offers rooms in both the main house and in two private cottages. Like many innkeepers, Norman and Sandra Cartwright-Brown take special interest in their guests, organizing trail rides and serving candlelit sixcourse dinners. And as it began, the progressive dinner ended with a view. Atop Menefee Mountain (elev. 1,043 feet) from the veranda of Sycamore Hill House, a panoramic view of Kerri Wagner’s famous gardens were served along with dessert. Illustrator Stephen’s original art work also graces much of Sycamore Hill. Three elegant rooms are available, each with private bath ant queen size beds. Future progressive dinners are presently scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 15 and Sunday, Nov. 10. Times for each are 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The price per person is $50 and reservations can be made by calling 987-8025. 1 Postal birthday wtammi-vmn-mmm$’w&m&mMtmmm. mmmt ■ | H Ml Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Gabrielle Lee Linda B.

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The peas are fresh off the vines. Peppers are rippening and tomatoes are starting to flourish. As summer rippens, its fruit does the same. Backyard gardeners, skilled gardeners and those trying to garden for the first time find it necessary to learn freezing, drying and canning techniques. The Rappahannock County Extension Office offers some valuable guidelines in the updated publication, “Preserving Foods.” The booklet is free and available through your local extension office. Contact the office at 675-3619 for a copy. “The publication is updated periodically,” Rappahannock County Extension agent, home economics, Helen Smith said, adding for those needing updated resoures, instructions or just questions answered, the local Extension office can assist. Due to new techniques discovered, hybrid produce and redefining old methods, the publicaton, printed by Virginia Polytechnic Institue and State University and the United States Department of Agriculture, is a valuable resource for those familiar with canning, freezing and drying techniques or those trying the methods for the first time. The booklet can answer questions on acidity of tomatoes, questions on processing jellies, using sugar subsitutes instead of sugar, types and methods of pickling and ultimately, reprocessing. Processing times for blanching vegetables, using pressure canners and hot water bathing are explained. “It’s important people do the job correctly,” Mrs. Smith said. Assisting to assure exactness, Mrs. Smith will test dial pressure canner guages from 9 a.m. to noon on July 15 at the Extension office in Rappahannock. Only those pressure canners with dial gauges can be tested. “It’s important to check the guages periodically,” she said, adding older canners can lose their effectiveness if the dial is incorrect. “You need only bring your lid,” Mrs. Smith said, adding she uses another pressure gauge to measure. The test — requiring less than 16 minutes of time — offers the canner owner or user a confidence valuable when pressure canning. “If the gauge is off, you need not buy an entirely new canner,” Mrs. Smith said, adding: “You just need to purchase a new guage from a local hardware store.” 0

FmHA provides loan guarantees The Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) can now provide guarantees of loans for the purchase of housing in addition to its program of direct loans. Previously FmHA could only provide direct loans to families and individuals who needed housing. Under the direct program, FmHA serves as the lender, and borrowers make payments to the agency. Under the new program, FmHA guarantees a loan made by a qualified lender against loss. Qualified lenders include any lender, including state housing agencies approved as a mortgage for federal housing mortgage insurance or any FmHA ap proved lenders. The agency is authorized to guarantee $100 million for single housing during fiscal year 1991. “A total of $4.9 million has been allotted to Virginia for guarantee this year,” said FmHA state director Lloyd A. Jones. The new program will allow rural residents to apply for guaranteed loans and will also allow low income applicants to qualify for interest assistance. “Guarantees can be made for up to 100 percent of the house’s cost,” Jones said. The loans will be paid over a 30year period with a fixed interest rate and will not exceed the current rate. Lenders interested in FmHA’s guaranteed housing loan program contact Farmer’s Home Administration at 703-825-4200.

It has become a manipulative gray monster, violently tossing the little sailing ship with anqrily waving arms.

Helpful tips for a berry good summer By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer Berry season is finally here. I stopped at one of our local pick-yourown farms last week and got a few blueberries. Whether you pick-yourown or purchase them in the grocery store, here are some tips on selecting and using blueberries. Selection When selecting blueberries, look for light-blue berries that have a powdery look which is called “bloom.” This is a sign of freshness. The bloom is a natural, waxy covering that protects the berries from the sun. It cannot be rinsed off, but fades as the berries age. Keep in mind that larger berries are sweeter than smaller ones. Storage Blueberries will keep well for several days when stored in the refrigerator. To freeze blueberries, remove HOME ECONOMICS leaves, stems, and immature or defective berries. Wash thoroughly but quickly in ice water. Drain the berries. Pack in one of the following ways: Syrup pack: Prepare a 50 percent syrup (use berry juice instead of water). Place the drained berries in can or freeze jars or plastic freezer boxes. Shake the container gently to avoid empty spaces. Cover the berries with the syrup. Pack in can or freeze jars or plastic freezer boxes. Seal; label; and freeze. Note: You may heat syrup to boiling; immerse berries for 1 minute; remove; cool; and pack in can or freeze jars or plastic freezer boxes. Cool syrup and pour over berries. Sugar pack: One quart fresh berries (well washed and drained) and 2/3 cup sugar. Pack in can or freeze jars or plastic freezer boxes with alternate layers of berries and a sprinkling of sugar. Seal; label; and freeze. No-sugar pack: Pack the drained berries in plastic freezer bags. Seal; label; and freeze. Blueberry pie filling 12 cups blueberries 3 cups sugar 3/4 cup cornstarch 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel 1/4 cup lemon juice Combine sugar and cornstarch.

Add lemon peel and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to thicken. Pour into can or freeze jars or plastic freezer boxes. Seal; label; and freeze. Yield: about 5 pints. Blueberries lend themselves well to breads, breakfast foods, and oldfashioned desserts such as crisps, cobblers, and cakes. But don’t stop there. They’re very versatile and can be used in lots of ways as well as just eating in a fruit salad. Blueberry com muffins 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup yellow commeal 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup nonfat buttermilk 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 eggs 1 cup fresh blueberries Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.

Amissville playground is object of fundraising Amissville residents may soon have a playground of their own. “The Amissville Methodist Mother’s Group wants to build a playground,” Amissville mother Janet Hackley Macklea said. “We want to provide a play area for our children that is not 15 minutes awayv” she said. Presently, the only playground facilities for Amissville toddlers and youths are in Warrenton and Washington, both 10 to 15 minutes from Amissville. The proposed Amissville playground site is Stuart Field just off U.S. 211. The planned playground design includes swings, slides and climbing sections. At present, only little league sports are played at Stuart Field. Be Resourceful. Recycle.

Stuart Field is considered an athletic facility, and insurance liability will be provided by the Amissville Ruritans. “The Rurtians are co-sponsoring the playground,” Mrs. Mackiea said. “We have promised to raise the money for the facility and build it in the spring,” she said, explaining the mothers hope to raise $500 for the playground and an additional $300 for landscaping, benches and a fence to surround the playground. “This is a very conservative estimate,” Mrs. Mackiea said, adding the proposed design has been built by an Amissville resident both in a residental and public location. Available funds will purchase the necessary equipment with labor provided by local citizens. Bake sales, prize chances, money jars are part of the efforts to raise funds. Local businesses, citizens and those interested are being asked to participate. Private donations are accepted.

The mothers hope to raise the money through next spring followed by a groundbreaking when spring weather allows. The playground should open the summer of 1992. m Wheel Horse.

TOO The value of the land LINDER the house has taken an even more dramatic jump than the price of homes. By one estimate, the average price of a lot has jumped 420% since 1973. It has doubled in the last six years alone. Chances are that land accounts for over 25% of the cost of a home today compared with 18% only 15 years ago. Estimating the value of a lot separated from Its house Is tricky because the two typically come as a unit. However, you can get a ballpark figure by subtracting the estimated value of the average house (floor space times cost per square foot) from the total sales price. This specific dollar value Is not so meaningful as the percentages of land to buildings and how they change over the years. Read Estate investors should also keep a sharp eye on the mix of land and property values. Although the cost of buildings can be depreciated for tax purposes over time, land cannot.

CONGRATULATIONS FRIENDS! YOU DID IT! You built the Great New Rappahannock County Public Library. We now have plenty of space with room to expand. Now it is easy to find all the books we need, not just the current novels for “the little old ladies,” who like to read, but all the reference books needed for a growing community: history, geography, art, music, old records, old magazines, literature. The library has always ha^ these, but they were not so easily available. There is now a comfortable news* paper and magazine comer for those who like to check out periodicals. The children’s section is off to itself. All the good books are still there. For lectures, shows and discussions, there is a community room. We still need chairs, tables and other furnishings, but they will come in time. If your name is not on the following list of donors, and you have contributed in cash or labor, please let us know.

Though Richardsville may have other interesting things to offer, the Rappahannock River Campground seems to attract hundreds of people during the summer months. The Rappahannock River Camp-' ground boasts camping on 73 acres of forest with a 800-foot frontage on the Rapphannock River. Outdoorsmen can fish in the river or make splashes canoeing and tubing. «. Operated since 1983 by Ken and Janet Haase, the facility, is a retreat for the couple as well as their clients. “We wanted to do something different [with our lives] . . . We used to canoe and camp out and we decided we wanted to run a campground,” explained Mrs. Haase, who was a budget analyst in Bethesda, Md., before moving to the rural area. Haase added that he thought it would be a good move when he retired from the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1985. The couple spent months searching for the perfect facility, and it was a tiny ad for the lob lolly tree farm in a D.C. newspaper that caught the Haases’ eye. ‘When we saw this place, we never doubted we wanted it,” she said, while standing in a renovated red bam filled with PFDs (life jackets) in crates and canoes stacked from the floor to the ceiling. The pristine yet primitive campground is their home as well as their business. From April 15 to Oct. 15, the Haases open their facility every day of the week. ‘We have little weekday business,” said Mrs. Haase. “But it is still good to make a reservation during the week — and on the weekend.” On weekends, the facility has three regular canoe shuttles leaving the campground at 8 a.m., 10 a.m. and noon, and two tube shuttles departing the site from 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. “We recommend people come a half hour before the shuttle leaves, and we recommend that people call to check on water conditions,” said Mrs. Haase. The Haases check with hydrologists daily for the height of the Rappahannock River, an important safety measure. “We usually let people on the river between 3.2 feet and five feet. Below 3.2 feet is not pleasant and above five feet is unsafe,” Mrs. Haase explained. If the Rapphannock is unsatifactory for canoeing, she said, they sometimes take people on the Rapidan River, which is close to the grounds and offers a nice alternative. The family-like atmosphere and the good facilities seem to attract people from all over. “We look for good water when we come canoeing,” said Trade Wilson of Westminster, Md., who came to the grounds for a four-day trip over the Fourth of July weekend with three friends. “This is our second time here. We chose this over the Shenandoah River because it flow's so well and the campground is spread out and we aren’t on top of each other.” Mrs. Wilson said she appreciates the Haases’ efforts to review safety procedures before they send people on the river. “It is nice to be reminded of the safety procedures— they make everything so homey here,” she said. The charge for a camp site for one or two people is $8, with each additional person, $4. Families, which includes parents and chidren under 18 years of age, are charged $14. Three primitive camping areas are available, each boasting picnic tables and fire rings. The areas have clean privies and running water. Canoeing trips, which include a canoe, paddles, PFDs and a shuttle service, range from $20 for a 12-mile trip from Kelly’s Ford to the campground, to $80 for a 50-mile trip. The longer trip carries canoeists from Raccoon Ford to Eley’s Ford on the Rapidan River and from Remington to Mott’s Run Landing on Rappahannock including four days’ canoeing and five nights’ camping. Tubing trips range from two miles to 12 miles and cost from $13 to $33. For those who who would like to fish on the property, a $3 parking fee a day is charged. To put in your own canoe, there is a $3 charge per craft. Shuttle service for canoe owners is also offered. The Haases appreciate the beauty of the river and respect it. “We encourage proper disposal of trash and we provide a plastic bag. We offer a 50-cent refund per person if they clean up trash in the river and on its banks,” said Mrs. Haase. “Our commitment is not to spoil the river area, so we don’t allow cars, radios or clearing trees, and people can’t camp right on the river.” The Rappahannock River Campground Inc. is located approximately 50 minutes from Warrenton. From Warrenton, take Route 29 South to the blinking light near Remington and turn left on Route 651. Go through Remington and stay on Route 651 for five miles. Take a right on Route 620 and follow for eight miles. Take a left on Route 610 and follow to Richardsville. Take a left on Route 619 and follow for 2.7 miles to a left on Route 683. Go 1.4 miles, and the campground entrance will be on the left. For more information, call 703399-1839. It's been hot, but not a record ‘Cool mountain breezes’kept mercury down By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer While cities and towns on the border of Rappahannock County recorded temperatures near the 100degree mark, Rappahannock’s cool mountain breezes helped to keep the temperatures low through the Fourth of July weekend. Local weather watcher Dennis Wingfield of Sperryville recorded 1.02 inches of rainfall on July 4th. “It rained off and on from 8 a.m. until just after 11 p.m.,” he said, adding the scattered rain fell harder at some points during the day and more lightly at others. The rain of the Fourth kept temperatures cooler until Saturday. Mr. Wingfield recorded a high of 90 deMonarchs go 1 -1 against Strasburg The Rappahannock Monarchs split a doubleheader against the Strasburg A’s at Pine Knot Field in Sperryville last Sunday. The Monarchs won the first game, 10-8, and dropped the second, 9-6. They play Stephens City at home next Sunday at 1 p.m. The Monarchs are now 6-5 in the Apple Valley league, still in contention for first place. grees on the Fourth and a high of 92 degrees on July 7. Monday, when temperatures were predicted to reach the 100-degree mark, Mr, Wingfield recorded a high of only 88 degrees. “One thermometer recorded only 87 degrees,” he reported. “You have to wonder where the thermometers are,” Mr. Wingfield said of other weather watchers’ equipment, explaining his thermometer hangs in northern exposure protected by pines. “It should never be in an area that is exposed to other elements,” he said, adding heat from asphalt, direct sun and other elements can in fluence the recorded temperature. “On the average, July days this year, compared to last July, are 12 degrees cooler in the day and 33 degrees warmer at night,” he said, explaining that while the temperature was only 88 degrees for a high on Monday, nighttime temperatures never dropped below 72 degrees. “That’s not very low,” he said. “Last year, the first five days of July were real gangbusters,” he said, comparing it to his records that date back years. “We were recording days in the 90s nearly every day,” he said. The first nine days of July 1991 have seen only two days in the low 90s, he said. Navy band plays 4-H center The U.S. Navy’s top premier jazz ensemble, The Commodores, will perform at the amphitheater at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center in Front Royal, 7 p.m., Sunday, July 21. The group is a specialty unit of the United States Navy Band and is made up of 18 of the Navy’s top jazz and big band musicians. The Commodores combine the best of jazz and popular music, offering a mixture of styles ranging from the authentic sounds of the swing era to contemporary high-energy music. The concert is the second for the summer '91 at the amphitheater series, which is sponsored by the Blue Ridge Arts Council with assistance from Warren County and the Virginia Commission for the Arts. In case of bad weather the concert will be re-located in the gymnasium of Randolph Macon Academy. For more information call the Arts Council at 703-636-9909. The 4-H Center is located on U.S. 522 between Chester Gap and Front Royal. A series of summer concerts is being produced at the 4-H Center Amphitheater this season.

Newest state trooper is not new to county The county’s newest state trooper is a Rappahannock native, Gary Thomas Settle, 29, of Chester Gap. Trooper Settle began patrolling county roads last week, replacing longtime county trooper Harry Newlin, who was promoted to sergeant and transferred to Mineral, Va. Trooper Settle most recently was stationed with the Area 13 office in Winchester, serving with the Warren County duty post. A graduate of the Rappahannock High Class of 1979, Trooper Settle is the assistant coach for the Panthers baseball team. He is married to the former Kelly Jo Gilkey, the high school’s front-office secretary. His parents, Fred T. and Mary J. Settle, live in Castleton. Brother Greg, sister Jackie and sister Kim Vest all live in Rappahannock. Trooper Settle requested the transfer, he said, because “I have a lot of ties here. I missed the county pretty much.” He served three years with the Rappahannock Sheriffs Office as a road deputy in the early 1980s before joining the State Police five Trooper G.T. Settle years ago. After five years with the force a trooper may request transfer. He is a member of the State Police tactical team, akin to a SWAT team. New motor vehicle laws now official A number of new laws affecting Virginia motorists took effect July 1. Following is a summary of some of those laws. License Plates • Two new license plates will be offered to the public in July. They are the Wildlife conservationist plate and the Military Assault Forces plate. The Wildlife Conservationist plate will be offered to the general public for $25 per year in addition to regular registration fees. After the first 1,000 plates have been issued, $15 of this fee will go to the game protection fund to be used for the protection of Virginia’s Wildlife. The military assault forces plate is offered to individuals who have been part of a military assault force. The plates will cost $10 per year in addition to regular registration fees. Applicants who are still in military service must bring in a letter of certification from the commanding officer which states the applicant’s eligibility. Applicants no longer in service must submit a DD214 (seperation papers issued by the Defense Department which reflect participation in an assault force) with the DMV application. Motor Vehicle Dealers • Motor vehicle dealer advertising must clearly and conspicuously display freight and destination charges if they are not included in the advertised sale price of the vehicle. • “VA DLR” shall be displayed in any advertisement where the name of the dealer is not clearly identified byname. • If repairs are made to a new motor vehicle in excess of 3 percent of the manufaturer’s suggested retail price prior to sale, the motor vehicle dealer is required to disclose the in formation to the purchaser in writing. If repair information is not disclosed, the purchaser may return the vehicle to the dealer within 30 days for a refund of any money involved in the transaction. • The Motor Vehicle Manufacturers’ Warranty Adjustment Act will be established to allow the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services to regulate motor vehicle warranty adjustment programs. In some cases, the manufacturer will pay for all or part of the cost of repairing a vehicle for a condition that may substantially affect vehicle durability, reliability or performance. • The number of dealer license plates allocated to a dealer will be based on the number of vehicles a dealer sells in a licensing period. Individuals authorized to use plates will be limited to dealers, their spouses and dealership employees. • Promotional plates will be offered to dealers to use on vehicles in parades and special events for 30 consecutive days to advertise their dealership. Extended use of the plates may be authorized by the Comissioner when requested in writing. These plates are available for a $100 yearly fee in addition to regular fees paid by the dealer. Localities • Members or prospective members of local volunteer fire departments and rescue squads may obtain a free copy of their driving record if the information will be used to qualify the individual to operate rescue vehicles. • Automobile owners may submit proof of a vehicle’s cost to a locality in the event there is a dispute about the basis for assessing personal property tax.
