' 'i:'v —''-V ’ Rappahannock News Staff Pholo/Cindy Mahan Several children from the Child Care and Learning Center in Washington visited the animals, games, rides and attractions of the circus, held at the Ore department carnival grounds in Amissville, last week.' Tcvj Survey of parents shows satisfaction Schools target some areas By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Most Rappahannock parents are pleased with the education available in the public schools but believe children would benefit from an afterschool academic program and from a remedial summer school, according to a survey taken during fee day and released last week. Parents were given the opportunity to fill in the 10-question survey when they came to school before Labor Day to pay for books. About 149 surveys were filled out at the high school and about 218 at the elementary school. At the high school about 100 parents agreed or strongly agreed that their children would benefit from a supervised academic program offered after school from 3:30 p.m.5:30 p.m. About 25 disagreed or strongly disagreed. At the elementary school about 144 agreed while about 32 disagreed. At the elementary school about 172 parents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement “A remedial (basic skills) summer school program is needed in Rappahannock County.” About 18 parents disagreed or strongly disagreed. At the high school 126 parents agreed with the statement while about seven disagreed. Parents at both schools also agreed that “The various programs (reading, math, science, etc.) of the Rappahannock public schools meet the needs of its students” and that “The major emphasis of the Rappahannock County public schools is a strong academic education of its students.” Also at both schools parents RCES holds - PTO meeting d The Rappahannock EI-'-*f ementary School’s Parent- 55 Teacher Organization (PTO) £5 invites all RCES students and parents to a fall picnic and conference, noon-4 p.m. Satur-'*’* day, Oct. 5, at the-'-' Rappahannock Park in Wash-LJ! ington, Va. ; Speakers include Superin- ^ tendent David Gangel and-3 School Board Chairman Bev-^=x erly Massie.

Jerry Wood and Robert Darby, Democratic and Republican candidates for the 31st House of Delegates District, and Margaret Haynes, Democratic Party candidate for the 26th State Senate District, also agreed that the absent incumbent 26th District Sen. Kevin Miller’s bill to require that double-wide mobile homes be allowed in agricultural zones was a bad idea. t Mr. Wood and Mr. Darby disagreed about who should be elected from the 31st House<j)istrict, and presumably Sen. Miller would have disagreed with Ms. Haynes about who should be elected from the 26th Senate District if he had been at the forum. On land use taxation Mr. Wood commented, “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” He said he thought the program was working and that it should be a matter for local option. Mr. Darby acknowledged that he benefits from land use taxation. “Our businesses, restaurants and bed and breakfast establishments, benefit from having these farms,” he noted. Ms. Haynes said she did not favor diluting the law. “It’s a good law,” she said. "It maintains the agriculture we have.” They were responsing to a question from Susan Babcock, who said there were moves to change the law in 1992. Ms. Babcock asked the candidates further if they would favor continuing land use taxation for land in agricultural and forestal districts and land on which scenic easements had been donated if general land use taxation were eliminated. None of the candidates were willing to take a stand on what they regarded as a “hypothetical” question. On the Western Bypass, Mr. Wood stated in his opening comments that he opposed the road. “We can’t continue to build highways; I believe in mass transit,” he said. “More highways will mean more cars and more gasoSm FORUM, p.A-10 Amissville post office rezoning turned down By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Planning Commission voted to recommend that Walter Maben’6 application to rezone property on Route 645 west of Amissville for the new Amissville Post Office be denied. Mr. Maben has about eight acres zoned RR (rural residential, allowing one lot for five acres) on the northwest comer of U.S. 211 and Route 645 a little more than a mile from the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 642, where the current Post Office is located. He was asking to have three acres zoned General Commercial to build a 3,600-squarefoot post office with a 400-square-foot loading area and to later add a separate building not to exceed 4,000 square feet for other commercial tenants. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, representing Mr. Maben, said his client was preferring to exclude “the more noxious” commercial uses and to buffer the site from surrounding residential properties with trees. He said VDOT had approved the entrance on Route 645 and that the site offered the advantage of being on a “transportation corridor with a cross-over” near other commercial uses such as Countryside Floor Fashions and Mayhugh’s Grocery. Dolly Tokasz, from the Postal Service, said this site was the first choice of the Postal Service, but there are four alternate sites all within Rappahannock County. She said the current post office is too small and lacks hand icapped access and sufficient parking. She said the new post office would quire a large fenced area for trucks, an<Lao ■ the Postal Service liked the idea of havjpg ; other shopping nearby to attract customers. ' „ “The Post Office is market oriented,” she said. “We sell stamps and other items.” 1*“’ Ms. Tokasz said the main reason for inferring Mr. Maben’s location was lower cost,!; “I’m not sure how much the Post Office n asking us to consider this above the others/^ Sid Gottleib said. ,V.« “I’m not,” Ms. Takasz said. '*• Jackson District representative David Fannon said, “The Planning Commission should insider if this rezoning for a Post Of-1 fice is in a suitable area.” , ! Chairman Allen Stokes commented, “This would be moving the village c(f Amissville.” ■ • County Administrator John McCarthy said the Comprehensive Plan, with its emphasis on development around the village^ was intended “to avoid strip commercial development.” He said the intent was to have the villages grow from the center out and to avoid high density development on the north side of U.S. 211. He said the prefers were in the public interest and the planners would have to decide whether the prefers “bridge that gap.” ; Mr. Baumgardner said the Compreheij-; sive Plan did not include any reference to concentrating commercial development on the S— PLANNERS, p.A-1p Drug abuse speaker inspires high schoolers By SHARON KILPATRICK Sawahannock N**i Staff Writer Marty Carroll came to Rappahannock High for two assemblies Monday morning to talk about “the dangers of drugs and alcohol, a subject near and dear to everyone’s heart,” he said. Mr. Carroll, a counselor with Family Focus in Warrenton, works with addicts and their families and speaks to school groups. His appearance in Rappahannock was funded under a state Drug-Free Schools grant. “I’m not a teacher, I’m not a preacher, I’m not a policeman, I’m not a doctor or chemist,” he told the students. “I’m a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. Recovering means that for going on 10 years I haven’t taken anything stronger than a vitamin pill,” he said. He said that from when he was 15 until he was 32, “I was hospitalized, jailed, fired, and divorced repeatedly. I was very nearly killed on three separate occasions, and I lost an even dozen friends, dead from ' • drugs and alcohol.” He said these people all had something in common. “They all heard ‘Just say no.’ They all heard 'It’s bad and illegal.’ They all said, •But everybody’s doing it, and it will never happen to me.’ ” S## DRUG TALK, p.A-10 ' R*PP«h«wock New» Staff PhouvCindy Mahan vj -• Substance abuse specialist Martin Carroll speaks about the perils of drug . - abuse to RCHS eighth- ninth- and tenth-graders on Monday. 4.<

Call for cast of 'Shepherd' There is a call to people in Rappahannock and surrounding communities who would like to participate as actors, singers and instrumentalists in a traditional Nativity pageant play called “The Shepherd’s Play.” The play, which dates from the 15th century and was traditionally performed by farmers and their families, will be presented on Dec. 7 and 8 as part of the annual Colonial Christmas Celebration held in Washington, Va. All community members, 15 years and older, are encouraged to come to auditions. Auditions will be held at the Old Town Hall on Gay Street in Washington, 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 29 and 7-9 p.m. on. Monday, Sept. 30. Call 987-3167 if you are unable to attend a scheduled audition or would like further information. Mouse, a lVi-year-oId beagle dachshund female, was given up by her owners because they have too many dogs. They found her as a stray and kept her for a while. She loves to be outside and gets along well with other dogs. She and many other adoptable dogs are available at the Rappahannock Animal Shelter in Amissville. The shelter is open from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. The lost animal registry can be found in the Classified Section of the Rappahannock News. To reach the lost and found registry, or the shelter, call 937-3283 or 937-3336. Survey Continued from page A-1 are dealt with by school personnel in a friendly and respectful manner.” There does seem to be some concern among the parents of elementary school students with the bus system and with the cleanliness of the school building. About 149 parents at the elementary school agreed or strongly agreed that “The cleanliness of the school buildings is acceptable.” About 44 parents disagreed or strongly disagreed with that statement. Also at the elementary school about 119 parents agreed or strongly agreed that “The transportation services that are offered by the Rappahannock County School Baord are excellent” while 72 disagreed or strongly disagreed. High school parents had a greater tendency to agree with both statements. Also at the high school there seems to be some concern about the fairness of discipline. About 97 parents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement “Discipline in the Rappahannock County public schools is fair and consistent” while about 36 parents disagreed or strongly disagreed with that. Elementary school parents were more inclined to agree with the statement. Parents at both schools agreed that “Persons entering a school building should be required to report to the main office.” School Superintendent David Gangel said that partly as a result of the survey the school system would be doing further study. i WONDER-GUARD* Exterior Acrylic Latex Rat House A Maaonry Paint •100% Acrylic Reg $17 99 • Weather Resistant .. a . jy qq • Resists Blistering & Mildew ^ • Fast Dry—Water Clean-up * ■ Gallon DEVOE® WONDER-SHIELD* Exterior Acrylic Latex Satin Houaa Paint • Resist* fading, blistering.

Trinity Church House Tour Oct. 19-20 The third weekend of October usually sees Rappahannock County and the rest of the Northern Piedmont at their colorful best. This of course depends on the vagaries of •I nature—and we’ve had a rather dry 1 summer. , However, on Saturday, Oct. 19 • and Sunday, Oct. 20 there will be a great deal of natural color on display at the Parish Hall of Trinity Episco; pal Church in historic Washington, Va. j The Parish Hall will be the headquarters of the 35th Annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried ’ Flower Sale, an event which for all ; the past years has been one of the high points of the fall season in the I county. ’ Since spring the Women of | Bromfield Parish, who sponsor the ; event, and others, have grown flow• ers for later cutting and drying. They have scoured to countryside , for a variety of greens and other fo’ liage to be trimmed, dried and otherwise preserved and then combined with the flowers to make the hundreds of flower arrangements on sale at the Parish House that week' end. The arrangements vary in size from those that can be held in the palm of the hand to elaborate cen. terpieces for a library or dining ta| ble. Here is a way to brighten your living room with a touch of color through the coming winter months, i The popularity of this event is attested to by the number of visitors ; and buyers who come from up and ■ down to East Coast and as far away as the Midwest. HOUSETOUR Oct. 19-20 The Remingtons Ridge View Flint Hill The DeBerghs Pleasant View Harris Hollow The Smets Windemeer Amissville The other attraction for this weekend is the tour of three representative homes in Rappahannock County. This year these include two contemporaries and one that has its origins in 1785. The first of these three is the contemporary home of William and Isabelle Remington outside Flint Hill and just off Route 630. This lovely home features large, open living and working areas with magnificent views of the peak and the rest of the Blue Ridge to north and northwest; it is aptly named Ridge View. Its many and large expanses of glass are shaded by the wide overhangs of the hip roof, reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s so-called “prairie houses.” Its pleasant decor combines the modern with a variety of lovely antiques and a number of examples of the art of Fredric Remington, to whom Mr. Remington is related. Tea will be served at Ridge View from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on both afternoons of the tour. This is included in the block ticket only. If there is a nip in the fall afternoon air, this is a pleasant break in lovely surroundings. Northwest of the town of Washington, 2.5 miles up Route 622, there is Pleasant View, another house on the tour. It is the home of Jim and Beth DeBergh and their two sons. The DeBergh family decends from the Harrises, who gave the hollow its name, and they represent the seventh generation to live there. Pleasant View consists of four distinct parts, beginning with the log cabin built in 1785, which is now the kitchen; next the 1810 two-story stone addition and beyond that the brick extension from 1836. Added to the log house in 1983 is the family room. Another modem addition south of the house is the swimming pool and a pool house built of logs from an old bam. Pleasant View features many lovely antiques to include a large box piano in the 1836 parlor. The last house in Windemeer in Amissville off Route 730. the home of Emiel and Lynda Smet. This cedar-sided, modified two-story contemporary is the seat of a working farm. Its cathedral ceilings, 17 feet at the peak, are covered in six inch pine in living room, dining room and sun porch.

Comprehensive Plan iritates planners ; By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer | Members of Washington’s Plan' ning Commission expressed frustration with trying to work on revisions -to the town’s Comprehensive Plan when the Town Council has not taken any action on the revised subdivision ordinance they passed and sent to the council in August. Member Susan Parrish, who is _ also a member of the Town Council, noted that some members or the council have been meeting with some members of the Planning Commission in several work sessions that "were supposed to explain the proposed ordinance and suggesting major revisions to it. ‘There shouldn’t be changes made to the ordinance by this committee,” she said. “Changes can be made once council officially has it.” Planning Commission chairman Louise Van Dort agreed saying, “I’m interested in getting this off our table.” “In my mind the Planning Commission finished with the subdivision ordinance, but it seems we’re going to get it back,” Mrs. Parrish added. Ms. Van Dort said that Mayor Dean Morehouse keeps pushing for a provision for “cluster development” in the subdivision ordinance. “As a commission we did not want that,” she said. Member Mitzi Young said, “It’s now impossible because of the septic problem. I don’t feel it’s germane to this ordinance unless he has some solution to that problem.” Mrs. Parrish said, “It’s my understanding the whole Town Council has to act on it to make major changes. If this committee wants to argue all night, they can, but they can’t rewrite our recommendation.” She noted that the Comprehensive Plan was adopted in August 1986 and is supposed to be revised every five years. “If we met every day until Dec. 31, we couldn’t get it done,” she said. Member Stuart Willis offered to continue drafting the Comprehensive Plan if other members would continue to suply him with information. Mrs. Young said she had found out that 43.67 acres in town are in land use. She also reported that 17 landowners with properties in town live outside the town, and 73 landowners with property in town live in town. She said that last year real estate taxes paid to the county on property in town amounted to $116,094. Mrs. Parrish said she was in the process of doing a study of parking space available in town which she would finish by the end of the year. Col. Willis will incorporate this information in the Comprehensive Plan.

Woodward, Sheriff. Bookkeeping firm thrives in small town By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Linda Coit wanted to work in Rappahannock County. Leaving behind a financially secure job in Fairfax, the thenLinda Postelle became a bookkeeper in Amissville. “I worked for an accountant,” she said, a petite woman with fair hair, she seems a young girl sitting behind her huge office desk in her present office, located in the rear portion of Frank Reynolds’ law office in Washington. That was 1985. By 1988, Ms. Coit was ready to try her hand at her own business. With experience as her guide, as well as several courses from Northern Virginia Community College in Manassas, she opened the doors of her office and remains one of the few women bookkeepers in the county. “I just wanted to work in Rappahannock,” the county she had called home since 1976, she said with a wave of her hand. Most of her clients are local, small businesses. Her office is white and bright. Her only companions are two computer screens staring above white keyboards. The large rectangular desk is neat and organized, papers filed and categorized to one side. “I did not want to commute and I wanted to make a living in Rappahannock,” she said with a smile. Word of her bookkeeping services spread around the county. Her first clients were Ki Theatre and Trapezoid. Now, nearly three years later, she has 12 clients. Expanding her business, Ms. Coit has taken on an assistant, bookkeeper Keri Roszel of Hume. “She takes care of two clients,” Ms. Coit said, adding her assistant’s help enables her business to grow. “It was all word-of-mouth,” said Ms. Coit, adding people were “anxious and eager for bookkeeping services.” Working full-time, dividing her time between office hours and hours spent with clients, Ms. Coit’s work ranges from lawyers and doctors to organic gardners Linda Coit and arts groups. “I was really quite surprised ' by it,” she said of her business’s , popularity. v As a bookkeeper, Ms. Coit “categories income and expenses” of businesses or private persons on a monthly basis, enabling the person or business to “see where their income came from and where income went.” Paid hourly, she uses the double entry bookkeeping system. “It’s all on the computer,” she said with a wave of her hand to indicate her office companions, adding in earlier days, bookkeep- ' ing was done on ledgers. Today, the advanced com- ■ puter programs put entries in their correct place and automat- * ically balance debits and credits. “I started with one com- 1 puter,” she said, adding that recently she has “upgraded to a ' bigger, better, faster system.” Adding “payroll” to her list of ' services, Ms. Coit is expanding ^ her small Rappahannock busi- *’ ness. “I do not give financial advice * or do tax preparation,” she " added.

Though the state House and Senate redistricting plans crafted by the General Assembly last spring have won the blessing of the Department of Justice, they invoke only oaths from many Virginians, as well they should. Our objections to the plans are not based on partisan political considerations. They rest, instead, on good old-fashioned notions of fairness. The Democratic majority exercised its iron-fisted control of the General Assembly in the most blatant, partisan manner when it drew the new district lines. The Democrats went far beyond merely taking political advantage of their control — they shamelessly gerrymandered the entire state — using as a thin and largely extraneous excuse that their contortions were necessary to meet Justice Department approval for minority representation. True, the Justice Department oversight of Virginia and Sight other Southern states does require the creation of blackmajority districts wherever reasonably possible. But that requirement of the Voting Rights Act was never meant as a smokescreen for any political party to extend its power. * In fact, the creation of House and Senate districts that Combine disparate populations linked only by the color of their Skin may do more in the long run to dilute their voting power than would compact, contiguous districts where the residents share common concerns. Blacks do not need black-majority districts to be elected, as the several black representatives in the General Assembly from white-majority districts will attest. * In fact, the motive behind the final redistricting maps created this year looked at times more like a contest to see which plan could create the most new districts containing two Republican incumbents, while leaving the greatest number of open seats in traditional Democratic strongholds. * No one, except the incumbents, will benefit from the gerrymandering done by the Democrats this year. The 18th Senate District, which stretches 180 miles across Southside Virginia, and is one-half mile wide at one point, is a perfect example. What kind of representation can the residents of that district expect? 3* With the entire General Assembly running for election jjiis year — all 100 House and 40 Senate seats — the Democrats obviously took advantage of their control to create a beneficial situation come election time. VIRGINIA-THE STATE OF PRESI-1 „DENTS — AND STILL THEY COME. Argue for a spell To the Editor: Lee Bird should learn to read. It was Augustus C. Johnson, not Edith Pond, who did not know what “ultraliberal” meant. (That’s A-U-G-U-ST-U-S -C- J-O-H-N-S-O-N and E-DI-T-H P-O-N-D.) I know what ultraliberal means, that’s why I’m not one. With literacy comes a degree of sophistication, and Mr. Bird would learn that dictionary definitions and political definitions are not always congruent (accordant, suitable, proper - Compact Edition, Unabridged, Oxford English Dictionary, 1971). For instance, one of the definitions he supplied for liberal, “characterized by generosity and willingness to give in large amounts,” omits (leaves out) the important words “with other people’s money.” EDITH POND Sperryville 'Shepherd' needs support To the Editor: A group of Rappahannock County citizens is promoting a traditional Nativity pageant, dating from 15th Century Europe. It is called “The Shepherd’s Play,” and was traditionally performed by farmers and their families at Christmas. To continue the grassroots traditions of “The Shepherd’s Play,” the characters and singers will be drawn from non-professional members of the community. It is hoped that annual performances of “The Shepherd’s Play” will become a community tradition for the Yuletide season. Auditions and rehearsals will be held throughout the fall. This is a project worthy of wide community support, and I am writing this letter as one Rappahannock County resident who is eager to see it succeed and be enjoyed by large numbers of residents and visitors. To do a top-quality job of staging this pageant, which will have live music, dialogue, characters, and singing, entails some considerable expense, especially since we would like admission to involve either a nominal sum, or be free. To pay for professional direction, lighting, costumes, and other promotion and production expenses, a goal of raising $5,000 has been set, of which more than half has already been collected. “The Shepherd’s Play” will be performed at the Colonial Christmas Celebration on the weekend of Dec. 7 and Dec. 8 in Washington. This Colonial Christmas weekend is being sponsored by the Town Council Celebrations Committee, the Business Association of Washington, and the Ki Theatre. We are especially desirous of broad support and participation by local residents. Contributions of any amount, however minimal, are most welcome. Such donations are tax-deductible, and should be made out to and sent to The Shepherd’s Play Fund, P.O. Box 203, Washington, Va. 22747. For more information, call either 675-3738 or 987-3167. SID GOTTLIEB Boston, Va. Facts on abortion fight To the Editor: When we heard throughout the summer of the arrests of protestors at an abortion clinic in Wichita, Kan Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Eighth-grader Sarah Wayland, left, and teacher Susan Henry wash cars at Rappahannock High last weekend to benefit “Rappsody,” the high school yearbook. sas, we were mostly told about how these protestors were violating a federal judge’s injunction and were somehow acting in a lawless and irresponsible way. Some additional facts help flesh out the whole story. The U.S. Department of Justice has gone into court against the judge, not against the protestors, claiming that the judge has acted in a lawless fashion by issuing an injunction when he had no power over the subject matter (the protest) or over the person (the individual protestors who were arrested). The judge involved, U.S. District Court Judge Patrick Kelly, is also accused of acting out of personal bias rather than objective reason: the judge appointed the personal attorney of the abortionist to act as special prosecutor after the U.S. Attorney would not prosecute the judge’s faulty contempt arrests; the president of the leading pro-abortion group, the National Organization for Women, is Judge Kelly’s first cousin; Judge Kelly has (contrary to judicial canons) appeared on national television as an advocate and spokesperson for the abortionists; persons acting lawfully near the protest site were arrested under Judge Kelly’s contempt order merely because they were wearing Pro-life or anti-abortion T-shirts; Judge Kelly is alleged to have threatened to bankrupt churches and shut them down be cause Christians are heavily involved in the protest. Regardless of one’s position on abortion, any American who is concerned about an individual’s right to voice dissent and to be able to rely upon due process, of law should be concerned about Judge Kelly’s lawless acts and his ability to enforce his personal opinion by police action even without the support of the Justice Department. J. MICHAEL SHARMAN General counsel American Family Assn, of Va. Culpeper Changes are warranted To the Editor: During the past 40 years we have experienced many changes in our country’s society and culture—to cite only a few: rampant crime in our cities, increased drug addiction, family separation, reduced savings, soaring welfare costs. The question in our minds is what brought this about? The answer is clear: the outlook Springing from our forefathers that served the United States well during our first 150 and more years— that each person in a free society is responsible for his or her actions, their consequences, their lives—is fast disappearing. If we act with self-reliance and responsibility, the quality of life both in material goods and in social relations, improves for everyone. On the contrary, if we act as if it is society’s fault when anything goes wrong, then everyone suffers. No political party is faultless. Both parties have contributed to our troubles. We can view Democratic policies as: never asking welfare recipients to work even if able; be lenient toward criminals for it probably isn’t their fault; don’t expect children in school to study at home—having encouraged growth of these flaws, not by intent, certainly by policies and deeds. How well this was brought out by the Senate liberals, Kennedy, Biden and Metzenbaum, intensive grilling of Supreme Court nominee Thomas to further their political agenda. Republican policies support the free enterprise system which is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice through self-reliance. Bob Darby fully agrees with these policies. He has the experience and results to prove that it works. When elected, he will pursue these policies decisively in Richmond, where it is greatly needed. Vote for Bob Darby on Nov. 5. HARRY E. PURDY Castleton 30 YEARS AGO September 21,1961 It depends on how you like your entertainment but it appears from the record that Guy Mitchell was the odds on favorite entertainer in Rappahannock County last week. He appeared as Audie Murphy’s side kick, George, on the Whispering Smith TV program and he had a part on Ann Southern’s new pilot program. Mr. Mitchell and his wife spent several days as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Harris at Hidden Valley Farm, Huntly. Wednesday night many of the Harrises local friends gathered to meet Mitchell and were greatly entertained by his singing many of his top record hits including “Heartaches by the Dozen.” He was accompanied by Scotty Turnbull, who also composes. His current popular composition is “Mission Bells.” This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times Rev. and Mrs. Richard Trout, formerly of Rappahannock County, have taken up residence in Lima, Peru and are engaged in missionary activity, They are working with the Pocket Testament League in a campaign of Evangelism and Scripture distribution throughout the entire continent. The Trouts three children are with them. Rev. Trout was a former teacher at Rappahannock County High School. 20 YEARS AGO September 23,1971 A deluge of rain which fell on the mountain top in Shenandoah National Park Sunday night, coursed down the slopes, saturated the earth and inundated the lower regions. The North Fork of the Thornton River overflowed its banks in many places and the rapidly rolling waters washed out portions of roads and bridges. Culverts and pipes were blocked and debris knocked down fences and cluttered bridges as it surged along the stream’s course. One family found it necessary to evacuate their home and another lost some animals to the forceful currents. The annual fire training school sponsored by the Rappahannock County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association is scheduled for two weekends, Saturday and Sunday, September 25 and 26 and October 2 and 3. 10 YEARS AGO September 24,1981 The Red Cross Bloodmobile which visited Rappahannock County last week claimed its quota, the first time in several visits. Under the auspices of the Rappahannock Lions Club with R.A. Baines as its president, the mobile visit received 40 units of blood. Baines expressed appreciation to all 53 donors who presented themselves at the bloodmobile. Two additional rabid raccoons were detected in the northern section of Fauquier County within the past two weeks. The latest report involved a raccoon that was killed near Middleburg. This brings the total rabies outbreak to 15 animals in Fauquier County, of which 11 involved raccoons. Loudoun County has reported 14 rabid raccoons this summer.

Feud soon to be supplanted by coming political realities' By JOHN GOOLRICK The hottest summer in modem times is over and the attention of Virginians is turning into political realities rather than the WilderRobb feud with all its gossip page overtones. There will be a November election, as always, in the state and for good measure even a special election on the regular election day to fill a congressional vacancy. The winner of that contest, either Republican George Allen or Democrat Kay Slaugther (there are also two Independents running) will barely have time to catch their breath before the Virginia General Assembly, full of lame ducks, returns to Richmond to reapportion congressional districts. Which brings us to the matter of redistricting and how boundaries of the 11 congressional districts—Virginia is being rewarded for population growth with an extra district— will be drawn. Democrats will control the process, and until they reveal their plan everything is pure speculation. But given their hardball tactics in legislative redistricting earlier this year, it can be assumed everything will be done, in the words of one pundit, to “maximize Democratic opportunities.” Given that likelihood, however, it is almost inevitable that the Democratic plan will include a black majority district from the TidewaterSouthside region despite the reluctance of some Democrats to create such a district. That reluctance has nothing to do with objections of such Democrats to sending a black person to Congress, but everything to do with the fact Old Dominion Politics while the new district would almost certainly vote overwhelmingly Democratic, it would dilute the Democratic vote in some other congressional districts. Incumbent members of Congress from Virginia are, of course, eagerly awaiting the Democratic plan that emerges. When rumors spread that Rep. Herbert Bateman of Newport News, a Republican, might not seek re-election, Rep. Bateman quickly quelled them, pointing out quite logically that he wants first to see the nature of the district he will be in. There is some chance Democrats will find a way to include Rep. Bateman’s home in the black majority district that could take in parts of Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Chesapeake, Petersburg and other localities or even extend to the Richmond area. Even if that happened, though, Rep. Bateman could opt to move to represent a revised 1st District that might sweep down from parts of Northern Virginia to Mid-Peninsula and Tidewater while also taking in the Northern Neck and Eastern Shore. Under such a scenario, the 2nd District, currently represented by Owen Pickett, a Democrat, could well become considerably more attractive to a Republican candidate. The same might be true in the 4th, where Democrat Norman Sisisky is the current representative. But whatever jiggling is done must take into account that three districts that include all of Northern Virginia, the 10th, 8th and 7th, have 110,000 or more people at present than the 557,715 that constitute the ideal population of a new congressional district in a state that has approximately 6.1 million people, give or take a few thousand here and there. Democrats will do whatever is possible to protect incumbents such as Pickett, Sisisky, Jim Moran in the 8th, L.F. Payne in the 5th, and others, but putting in the black majority district will make that task more difficult—as attested by the fact the state Republican Party is pushing for such a district though many individual Republicans consider it a betrayal of principle. Yet, the fact is, any plan without a black majority district probably can’t pass Justice Department or federal court muster. If you’d like to draw your own plan just for the heck of it, you should write the Division of Legislative Services, Virginia General Assembly, Richmond, Va. 23219 and ask them to send you the publication, “Drawing the Line - 1991 Redistricting in Virginia.” It includes population figures locality by locality for each of the present congressional districts and offers something for the politically inclined to do on rainy afternoons.

Spring Mountain plans move By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer Spring Mountain School, which started several years ago as a playgroup at the home of a family in Old Hollow, hopes to expand next month into the former Washington High School building on Mount Salem Avenue in Washington, Va. Bethany Craig, Spring Mountain coordinator, said this week that the school will be applying for a special use permit, and if approved at the Oct. 9 Towm Council meeting, she hopes to start classes at the site Oct. 10. The school’s plans would involve 22 students in grades pre-K through 2. Ms. Craig said the nursery school would operate on Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m.-noon, the kindergarten Monday-Wendesday from 9 a.m. to noon and the combined first-second grade from 9 a.m.-noon Monday-Friday. If approved, the school would rent two classrooms and the large entrance area in the back of the building from the building’s owner, William Carrigan. The Family Worship Center, which had previously used some of the space, plans to return to part of the building, one day a week. The Family Worship Center is now headquartered in Culpeper. Ms. Craig said Spring Mountain School would like to add one grade of school per year, and one day offer education through high school. Spring Mountain follows the Waldorf School model developed by educator Rudolph Steiner in the 1920s. The school began at Ms. Craig’s home, but increasing size led to expansion plans. Besides Ms. Craig, faculty members are Paige Noel and Joia Wood. The school was incorporated two years ago as a non-profit organization. If the Town Council grants its approval, Spring Mountain plans an Open House to the public in October, said Ms. Craig. Plans by the Legionnaires of Christ, a Potomac, Md.-based group of Catholic clergy, to sponsor a group of Mexican girls to live and study at the site did not materialize this year, said Ms. Craig. The girls are staying in Connecticut. She added that the Mexican students may still come to Rappahannock in the future, however. Fr. Albert Verbeke, pastor of St. Peter’s Catholic Church, which has occupied the annex next to the old school, said this week that construction on St. Peter’s new building on U.S. 211-522 west of Washington were proceeding apace, and he expects to be in the building, at least in the church part, by Christmas. He said he hopes to dedicate the new building by March. FANFARE Cut loop • Vibrant colors • Great price STAINTAMER $099 SQ.

Soccer team gains needed experience By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock High soccer team’s record dropped to 1-2 after losing twice this week, both against experienced, more talented teams. The Panthers took on a Randolph Macon Academy team that Coach Uli Maeyer said was possibly the best RMA squad he has ever seen, and lost 4-1 at home, the one goal coming on a penalty kick by Damien Muriel. “It’s a team we can beat,” said Coach Maeyer. Monday night against the George Mason Mustangs, the Panthers played a tight defensive game for the first half, leaving the field with a 1-1 tie. In the second half Rappahannock tried to press for another goal, but George Mason was able to get two easy goals. The final score was 5-1. Coach Maeyer said the Panthers “want to win so badly they just exhaust themselves. This is a team that has started to understand the game theoretically. Physically there are just tremendous gaps between the 9th graders and the seniors.” “This team has improved,” said Coach Maeyer, noting that senior goalie James Roy in particular has played well. “We are playing some Susan Jewell outstanding teams. We are just not there yet.” The team has a brief break before taking on Eastern Mennonite, away, 4:30 p.m. Oct. 3; RMA, away, 4 p.m. Oct. 8; St. Anne’s Belfield, home, 4:30 p.m. Oct. 16; and George Mason, home, 4 p.m. Oct. 21. Plans for a homecoming game, on hold since Wakefield cancelled, are still being worked out, said Coach Maeyer. Girls hoops team struggles The Rappahannock Lady Panthers basketball team has had a tough year, going winless through their first nine games.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Sixth-grade teacher Gisella Patharkar instructs in French at Wakefield Country Day. Two Wakefields settle down to business of educating kids By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer — Apparently ending their summer of turmoil, both Wakefields are turning to the matter at hand: giving the 200 kids they teach an education. At Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly, officials said the enrollment was 67 students last week, up more than 15 students from the first day of classes. The school has already experienced considerable fundraising success,' and board member David Konick said he expects it to continue. During the first month of operation the institution raised about $150,000 in cash or in-kind contributions, including a $100,000 gift from an anonymous donor. “If we maintain that level we’ll have raised half a million dollars by Christmas, which will be more than sufficient to guarantee the economic viability and continued success of Wakefield Country Day School,” said Mr. Konick, whose son attends the school. He said operation of the new school was “going better than we expected. The spirits of everyone there are very high,” adding the students and staff felt “a great spirit of success.” Teachers at Wakefield Country Day added that the smaller class sizes at the new school have offered them an opportunity to provide individual students with more of their attention and time. Fifth-grade teacher Auriel Rundle said the school was “an extremely happy place,” and that students were “achieving a lot of work.” Her class consists of six students, which allows “every child to give his own opinion and discuss things.” Having all-new textbooks, she said, was an unexpected bonus this year, and gives her the sense of teaching from the very latest. The split between the two Wakefields, she said, “ws very sad, the whole thing. But the point is, now it’s a very happy place. . . .There are more smiles on everyone’s faces than I’ve seen for a long time. ” Mrs. Rundle said last week her students took a field trip to the Virginia Arboretum at Boyce, where ‘Sometimes things have a way of working themselves out for the best We all wish. Wakefield School in Marshall the best—we want the students at Marshall to get a good education. There are no vindictive feelings; everyone here has a positive, wonderful attitude — Patty Shaw First-grade teacher Wakefield Country Day the theme of the day was, “Is it a pine?” First-grade teacher Patty Shaw said the smaller class-size has “turned out beautifully. . . .It’s been fantastic for the students.” Some of the curriculum has been combined with the kindergarten, she said, allowing younger students certified physical education classes for the first time. “There’s a lot of one-to-one attention,” said Mrs. Shaw, adding that the “spirit at the school has been fantastic.” She is impressed with the new teachers on the staff, she said. “I am just absolutely amazed at what has come about in such a short period of time. We’ve been able to fill voids with such wonderful teachers.” “Sometimes things have a way of working themselves out for the best,” said Mrs. Shaw. “We all wish Wakefield School in Marshall the best—we want the students at Marshall to get a good education. There are no vindictive feelings; everyone here has a positive, wonderful attitude.” The school has four bus runs, one originates in Culpeper, goes through Sperryville and Washington; another starts in New Baltimore, picks up in Warrenton and Amissville; a third begins in Charles Town, W.Va. and stops in Summit Point, Berryville, Boyce and Front Royal and the fourth goes from Woodstock through Strasburg and Front Royal. At Wakefield School in Marshall, enrollment last week was 149 students, a figure Board of Directors chairman Lynn Hopewell said was “a little smaller than we hoped but a lot bigger than we were afraid of. I suspect next year we’ll have 100 more students.” He said the vast majority of their students attended Wakefield in Huntly last year. A few disputes with Wakefield Country Day over property remain, said Mr. Hopewell, but he expressed optimism that they would soon be resolved. The school’s new site, the Marshall Manor building, has been “remarkably problem-free. It turns out the new facility is really quite nice.” Mr. Hopewell said the first-year operating budget will probably be about $200,000 in the red, added to the approximately $300,000 in debt See WAKEFIELD, p.

CARE needs workers Community Action for Relief of the Elderly (CARE), a group started last winter when state budget cuts threatened the companion services program administered by the Rappahannock Department of Social Services, needs workers to perform a variety of odd jobs for the county’s elderly. CARE workers, independent contractors paid though Social Services, help those in need supervise medication, do shopping, clean the house and other related services that allow them to “live in the least restrictive environment possible,” according to Bev Bowen, director of Social Services. “Last winter when we were in the throes of budget cuts, I went to the churches and other groups,” said Ms. Bowen, and CARE was bom. From churches, service clubs and individuals a total of $2,700 was raised, which permitted Social Services to maintain at-home care for six individuals. Now Social Services is looking for more CARE “providers,” or workers. “We want the community to know how successful it has been, how pleased we are, but also that we still have needs,” said Nancy Reeve, the adult service worker who runs the CARE program for Social Services. Ms. Reeve also conducts evaluations of those in need of the companions, and supervises the CARE providers. Call Ms. Reeve at 675-3313 if you are interested in working with the CARE program.

Republicans assemble in Atoka Sen. Warner’s annual event draws 2,000 By SEBASTIAN SMITH Arundel Newptpttu Staff Writer John Warner hosted Secretary of Commerce Robert A. Mosbacher, a score of local candidates and more than 2,000 people for the annual Republican gathering at his farm recently. The afternoon barbecue, auction and rally was the fifteenth held by Sen. Warner at his Fauquier County estate. Sec. Mosbacher gave the keynote speech, defending President George Bush’s domestic policy and calling for energetic race for Republican congressional seats. Sec. Mosbacher praised Warner, calling him one of the country’s “great assets.” “I wish we could clone him,” he said, endorsing Sen. Warner as “one of the miqor reasons that we have seen the end of communism,” thanks to Warner’s hawkish posture on the Senate Armed Services Committee. * Warner said that Virginia — home to a significant proportion of the nation’s defense infrastructure— would not suffer unduly from the military cutbacks associated with VDOT working in Flint Hill Plans for replacing a one-lane bridge across Hickman Run with a culvert and improving roadway approaches on Route 729 near Flint Hill in Rappahannock County were approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board at its meeting in Richmond on Thursday, Sept. 19. The new crossing, located just east of the present bridge, will eliminate existing sharp curves and permit traffic to use the existing bridge during construction. Estimated project cost is $340,000. The planned roadway will have two 10-foot lanes with four-foot shoulders and ditch on a 50-foot right-of-way. A project location and design public hearing was held in Flint Hill in June. An alternate location suggested at the hearing was evaluated. However, it was dropped because it would add more than $100,000 to the project cost and substantially increase the impact on nearby wetlands, according to VDOT. the end of the Cold War. “Thus far, Virginia has not been targeted in any of the major base closures,” Sen. Warner said in an interview following speeches. He said that although the military may be whittled down by as much as 25 percent in five years, there should not be any cuts “given continuing uncertainties. ” Promoting commerce and shielding the environment needn’t be conflicting interests, Sec. Mosbacher said in an interview after speeches, but “it’s a balancing act,” he said. He said that while most Americans are environmentally conscious, “you can’t afford to lose jobs” because of regulations. Sec. Mosbacher warned against the “extremists on either side,” but said any middle ground was “tough.” State Del. George Allen, REarlysviUe, who faces Charlottesville City Councilman Kay Slaughter, D, in the 7th District race for the U.S. Congress, said in a speech that he would promote “workfare” not welfare, and unveiled a plan for resolving what he said was a crisis in the nation’s health insurance. “You can’t afford to get sick,” he said. Del. Allen said he rejected any federal healthcare program, saying that it would cost $250 billion and inflate taxes. Among other proposals, he said that health insurance costs should be 100-pencent tax deductible for the self employed, that insurance renewability should be guaranteed and that he would encourage insurance pools so that individuals could have access to group rates. Blaming the welfare system for a lack of self-esteem among the unemployed, Del. Allen said “our welfare system rewards idle behavior. We need workfare.” In an interview earlier, Del. Allen said that able-bodied people needn’t be on food stamps, but that they should first be required to perform community services, such as working in libraries, or delivering meals on wheels. The workfare force would not be used to replace any government workers, Del. Allen said. He attacked claims by the Virginia Democratic party leadership that they balanced the state budget, saying that in the private sector, their methods would have resulted in charges of embezzlement. He defended the bailout of sav ings and loans institutions and said that the Democratic Party was equally culpable in the fiasco. State Del. Linda Rollins, running for reelection in the 33rd District; Joe Higgs, the GOP nominee for sheriff in Fauquier and John Cheatwood, the Republican running for Clerk of the Circuit Court in Fauquier also attended the event. Sec. Mosbacher arrived late in the afternoon, leaving the field to the denim-shirted Sen. Warner, who swept through the crowds, smiling and shaking hands at pace. Wherever he moved, over a dozen people seemed to move in unison — literally hangers on. “I think I came along because I like Warner,” said Gladys Oestmann, who came from Manassas, Prince William County, for the $35a-head affair. Her husband, Ron, had an equally straightforward reason for attending: “For one thing, he’s not a Democrat,” he said. “I always vote Republican” and Sen. Warner’s “good on national defense,” said Laura Logie, from Warren County. Not all of Warner’s guests were so partisan. Susan Cheatham, from Prince William County, came to “see a little more of Warner,” but that was the extent of her loyalty — she’s a Democrat. She said she would have gone to a Democratic rally, except that Sen. Warner, who was reelected last year has no Democratic opponent. “There are so few Democrats, they wouldn’t need a farm,” she said. Ms. Cheatham suggested the senator’s strength was due to being able to live in his home state, unlike most members of the U.S. Congress. But, she said, he’d have to do “more people things” like public transport programs for the poor, to win her loyalty. But Sen. Warner seems safe for now — even where Ms. Cheatham lives. “In Prince William, people don’t really complain. He seems to have not offended anyone,” she said. Outside the Atoka farm, a small band of protesters held placards and played to the gallery of cars slowing down to enter the expansive property. The protesters, who claimed affiliation with Virginia Citizens for Safe Government and the National Collegiate Coalition for Firearms, said they opposed Sen. Warner’s support for a ban on assault rifles. Beverly S. Atkins Beverly Atkins completes course Beverly S. Atkins, Commissioner of the Revenue for Rappahannock County, has been awarded the title Certified Commissioner of the Revenue under a program administered by the University of Virginia’s Center for Public Service and Division of Continuing Education. The program, which takes a minimum of three years to complete, requires a combination of extensive education and governmental experience. The education process does not, however, end with the completion of the program. Every four years after initial certification, the recipient must complete an additional 60 hours of continuing education in order to remain certified. A certificate for successful completion of the program was presented at the Local Government Officials’ Conference, which meets annually in August at the University of Virginia. Benjamin Roy finishes training Benjamin B. Roy Jr. graduated from U.S. Army basic training in Fort Jackson, S.C. on Sept. 5. He is a 1990 graduate of Rappahannock High and a former resident of Washington, Va. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin B. Roy Sr., as well as Mr. and Mrs. Charles Roy, attended the ceremony. Telemon offering help with winter home insulation Weatherization services are now available for qualified Rappahannock residents. These services are being offered by Telamon, a private non-profit corporation, which for 25 years has been dedicated to the economic upgrading of the poor, especially migrants and seasonal farmworkers. Telamon administers a wide range of educational, manpower, housing, weatherization, and supportive services. Offices are established throughout the state, and a coordinative network is established with other agencies and service providers to assure high level support to client groups while avoiding duplicative efforts. Both renters and homeowners may have their homes weatherized. To qualify for this free service a household must provide proof of ownership of property, must not have had previous weatherization (winterization) and must meet income guidelines. Weatherization procedures begin with a heating system inspection, focusing on system safety and efficiency. Other weatherization procedures which may be implemented are furnace cleaning and tuning, air leakage detection and sealing, minor roof repairs, dense pack sidewall insulation, insulation of attics and crawl spaces, window and door repair or replacement and insulating ducts, pipes and wrater heaters. A pilot study was conducted by the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University during the winter of 1989-90. The study was to determine the effectiveness and energy savings achieved by implementing the above-mentioned weatherization techniques. Forty-three site-built and 16 mobile homes, located in Virginia, were weatherized. Heating system inspections were conducted on 44 of these homes. Serious safety problems (such as fuel leaks and hazardous concentrations of carbon monoxide in the living area) were detected in 30 percent of the homes. Cleaning and tuning the furnace was done in 10 of the homes, resulting in an average steady-state efficiency improvement of 5 percent. After weatherizing the home*^ using whatever weatherizatien strategies necessary, elapsed timSSf meters were installed on the heatiflj systems. j™ The meters were read weekly throughout the study period. The r$ suits of the study revealed enerj® savings averaging 26 percent in sit$* built homes and 20 percent in mobijj homes. Homes that received sidtti wall insulation averaged savings 41 32 percent and the highest individuJO savings was an incredible 47 pej“ cent. JJ Telamon’s weatherization ser** ices are funded indirectly by the D«» partment of Energy through tfi£ Department of Housing and ConJJ munity Development. Unfortqg nately these funds are limited so it also relies on private donations. There are literally hundreds Si homes that could benefit fro$ weatherization services in Plannidg District 9. Many needy families have no choice as to the living conditions they are subject to. V Many of our elderly, or hand* icapped and children will spend a cold and drafty winter if they are not provided with these services. ManJ homes have broken or non-existent windows, others have inoperable heating systems and no insulation. Building materials and working heating systems are among the donations we gratefully accept so h you’d like to get rid of that old wood stove in the shed, give us a call. ,rj Any and all contributions arS gratefully accepted. Under the Neighborhood Assistance Act busU nesses may receive Virginia Income Tax credits for their contributions... Furnace repair service men and women are desperately needed to donate their services for furnace tune-ups and repair. Unfortunately; our funding may not be spent on labor, however, we may purchase furnace parts. Volunteerism plays a crucial role in making a program such as this work. *•* All persons interested in having their homes weatherized should contact Telamon’s Culpeper office by calling 703-825-0391.

Bicycling blokes bring blight to light Cycle Tour for the Homeless, a group of six Englishmen, two Englishwomen and one Scotsman, who started out in bicycle from San Francisco in mid-July, passed through Fauquier and Rappahannock counties late last week, only days from the end of their 4,000-mile journey. Mostly university students, they have raised nearly $30,000 for homeless causes in London. They’ve also generated a fair amount of publicity for homeless shelters across the United States. Their final destina tion is New York City. “In a way it’s an excuse—the ride definitely came before we found the charity,” said James Closs, 21, a graphic-design student from Shepperton, England. “The homeless is a problem that people in London have a great deal of experience of,” Mr. Closs said.

Virgin Airlines payed their trans-Atlantic tickets, but the cyclists had to provide their own bikes and buy a support van among other expenses. Fundraisers, such as a 24-hour exercise-bike marathon in London’s Trafalgar Square, and even crossing the United States, were not the most grueling ways to help the homeless, Mr. Patel said. “A lot of money was raised by shaking hands — the hard way,” he said. They stayed at the Huntly home of Dave and Leslie Arnold Thursday night before pedaling into Warrenton Friday, where they met with homeless organizers there. By the time they passed through Rappahannock they had gone 4,350 miles and collected “lots of different impressions” of America and Americans, according to Mukul Patel, one of the cyclists. Temperatures in the Nevada de- * sert in mid-summer were upward of 120 degrees, making it the most challenging part of the ordeal. “It’s actually been a little easier than I thought it would be,” said Mr. Closs. The colorful group also came under the more welcome glare of the American media.

In Memphis, Texas—“population of about two,” cyclist Andy Carrington estimated—they wowed radio listeners with their English and Scottish accents for an hour and a half. Riding for about seven or eight hours a day, the group averaged 80 miles each day. ‘Mrs. Arnold came into contact with the cyclists through her father’s cousin, a high school Shakespeare teacher, Michael Davis. One of Mr. Davis’s past students is David Coates, the group leader and organizer. Mrs. Arnold helped put the cyclists in contact with U.S. homeless groups, as well as offer the bikers some creature comforts last week. Stephanie Van Gulden, who runs the homeless shelter in Warrenton, met with the group, who’s weatherbeaten faces and battered support van turned a few heads as they swept through Warrenton’s quiet streets.

It makes sense if we’re talking about an alarm clock. But if we’re thinking about a human heart, it’s how well it’s working that is so vital. If it isn’t working we’re in a fix. The mission of the American Heart Association is to keep our hearts working well. Not only our hearts but the entire circulatory system that keeps everything in our bodies alive and healthy, from our brains to our toes and everything in between. We’re seldom aware of this miraculous system when everything is working as it was originally designed to work. The big idea is to keep it working so it won’t need fixing. The Rappahannock County Unit of the American Heart Association (AHA) held its first board meeting of the 1991-92 campaign at Trinity Church in Washington at 7:30 p.m., Sept. 11. President Paul Nichols received activity reports from the program leaders and Jane Lienesch, the Blue Ridge Area Director reviewed the AHA mission and defined specific goals for the current campaign. Initially, the board members were encouraged to increase community awareness of the unique contribution that AHA has made to the heart health of Americans everywhere. AHA’s mission in brief is “to reduce disability and death from cardiovascular diseases and stroke.” Cardiovascular disease, or CVD as it is offically known, involves any abnormal condition, health threat or physical activity that is detrimental to the normal function and healthy operation of the heart and circulatory system. To support the accomplishment of its mission, the AHA engages in three businesses: CVD Science, CVD Education and Community Programs and Revenue Generation. * Those who contribute to the fundraising campaign have a need to know how the funds are spent. Virginia’s AHA dollar was spent with 6.7 percent slotted to management and general expenses, 9.9 percent to professional education and training, 14.8 percent for fundraising expense, 18.9 percent for community service, 21.3 percent for public health education and 28.4 percent for research. Major achievements of AHA research include: the development of artificial pacemaker device, the development and guidelines for CPR, the development of the heart-lung machine, the confirmation of cholesterol as a risk factor for CVD and the confirmation of smoking as a risk factor for CVD. The first local AHA campaign event to look forward to has always been a lot of fun for the whole family and fun can be very good for your family hearts. Beverly Atkins and Sandra Jenkins are co-chairing the annual Turkeywalk, a beautiful six-mile hike among fall colors and cool clean air up Old Hollow (Route 612) in Sperryville. Look for further announcements and official brochures and join up for the good health of your heart. Campaign names staff George Allen, the Republican candidate for Congress in Virginia’s 7th District, has named Christopher LaCivita, a decorated veteran in the Persian Gulf War, as a field representative for his campaign. Mr. LaCivita graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1989, and attended graduate school in the public administration program. A noncommissioned officer for a Marine artillery unit based in Richmond, he was called to active duty in the Gulf War. Mr. LaCivita was a member of one of the first regiments to enter occupied Kuwait, and subsequently saw heavy fighting. For wounds sustained in action, Mr. LaCivita was decorated with the Purple Heart. As a college Republican, Mr. LaCivita worked in state and local Richmond races. He was the campaign manager of Art Warren’s successful bid for the Board of Supervisors race in Chesterfield County near Richmond. Mr. LaCivita will be coordinating and implementing campaign programs for the western half of the 7th District.

Planners Continued from page A-1 south side of U. S. 211. Mr. Fannon said when the highway was four-laned the people of Amissville did not want to be bypassed. He said the planners and the Board of Supervisors had intended to keep comercial development on the south side of the highway. “This doesn’t seem to be in conjunction with what there is in rural residential,” he added. Stan Magee, a nearby landowner, said, “We’ve ,tried to keep our land open.'This should be more in the middle of Amissville. There are plenty of sites there.” Phil Irwin of Flint Hill agreed, saying this would not help Amissville develop as a village. “A post office is one of the main ingredients of a village center,” he said. Jackson District supervisor Ellis Bingham said he was concerned the post office might be moved into Culpeper County at the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 229. “We don’t want to lose our post office,” he said. “I’ve fought hard to make sure it stays within Rappahannock County.” Holley Green, a real estate agent with Sentry Realty, said she had been trying to find a location for a client E.L. Rieley to build a post office on. She said she had contracts for three of the locations the Post Office was considering. One, now owned by Tom Moore is on the south sideofU.S.211, about. 9 mile east of Amissville, and would not require rezoning since it is in an agricultural zone and could be allowed with a special use permit. Mr. Fannon’s motion to recom Tax bills have been mailed out The Rappahannock Treasurer’s Office has mailed all real estate and personal property tax bills for 1991. County residents who have not received their bills should call the Treasurer’s Office at 675-3334. Those with questions about assessments should call the Commissioner of the Revenue, 675-3513. Both offices are open during the week, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. during the week. mend denial passed unanimously. The planners recommended approval for a three lot subdivision near Huntly. Arnold Zinnecker of White Pines Partnership said he and his» partners would donate land for widening the road and for a turn around at its end. Mr. McCarthy said the only reason the application was before the planners was because the property is part of the former Dawson property which has already been divided several times. All three lots are 25 acres or more. Although other sections of the road have 50-foot right-of-ways, there are parts near Huntly where the road is less that 12 feet wide. He said the condition of the road was the only problem with the subdivision. “Unless we change our zoning ordinance, I don’t see that we’ve got a choice,” Mr. Fannon said. Mike Massie’s motion to recommend approval passed unanimously. The planners also recommended approval for Scott McBride’s application for a special use permit to operate a carpentry shop in Sperryville. Mr. McBride said he mostly did architectural millwork and only part of his business would be conducted on the property. The planners voted to restrict Mr. McBride’s hours of operation to 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and after noon on Sunday. Wakefield Continued from page A-7 the school took with it from the Huntly site. “Next year we’re not going to have any problem at all; our breakeven point is another 40 students,” he said. The $200,000 deficit from this year will hopefully be made-up by fundraising, he said, and the $300,000 in old debt will have to be carried for the foreseeable future. Parents have raised the issue of tuition deposits, and Mr. Hopewell said they are being refunded for those families who were “geographically dispossessed.” He said the cases were being considered on an individual basis, pointing out that by contract the deposits were non-refundable. Wakefield School doesn’t have much time to catch its breath before making plans to build a new institution, preferably in the Marshall area, said Mr. Hopewell.

Bowen, director of the Rappahannock County Department of Social Services, was honored by the governor during a ceremony in Richmond earlier this month for her work on behalf of the prevention of child abuse. The (governor’s Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect presented Ms. Bowen and five other women with certificates of appreciation. In Rappahannock County, Ms. Bowen has worked with other county agencies to develop a protocol for handling reports of child sexual abuse. The Child Abuse Prescipton Team now consists of herself, school personnel, and representatives from the Rappahannock Sheriffs Office, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke’s office, Juvenile Probation, the courts and the Health Department. Ms. Bowen has also organized community meetings to encourage foster care and to train them in parenting skills and inform them about substance abuse issues. Working to prevent the tragedy of child abuse, said Ms. Bowen, is a rewarding job. “It’s so worthwhile. You’re talking about children who have a whole future that can be made or broken by direct intervention,” she said. “Still, we just get the tip of the iceberg. Our reports here are up because of consciousness-raising. We still know there are so many more out there,” she said. John Borgens, director of Family Focus, a counseling firm with offices in Washington, Va. and Warrenton, nominated Ms. Bowen and was among those who wrote letters to the state agency who gave her the award. ‘We’re just real proud of her here in the county,” said Mr. Borgens. “It’s so rare that Rappahannock gets any recognition.” In nominating her, Mr. Borgens wrote: “Her real strength is her extensive knowledge and understanding of children in need—her willingness to go the extra mile to find funds or locate the most appropriate services for a child in need.” Drug Talk Continued from page A-1 Mr. Carroll said, “I’m not going to tell you what decisions you’re going to make. I respect the fact that you will make your own decisions. I’m going to share information that is believable, so when you make your decisions, you will do it with some information.” He said his subject is “chemicals, mind altering, mood and perception altering chemicals. Legal or illegal doesn’t matter.” He said drugs are not a worse problem now than in the past. “The prdblem is the same now as it was 100 years ago,” he said. Mr. Carroll said people have tried to fix the problem by passing laws. He said that in the ’20s and ’30s cocaine was legal and in CocaCola, and alcohol was illegal. He said people use the chemicals “because it works. Man has a need to relieve pain and achieve altered states of consciousness.” He tried a brief quiz with the students and they found that they were all familiar with pitches for drugs and alcohol from television. “We live in a drug using society,” he said. The message on television is “if you’re uncomfortable, feeling shy or bored, take a pill, take a drink and it will go away.” He said alcohol “the most lethal drug known to man is legal and available without a prescription for recreational use.” He added, “There are more overdose deaths due to al cohol than all illegal drugs combined.” He said this often “happens to kids.” He told them if they had a friend who passed out from drinking and they couldn’t wake him up to call an ambulance because the stomach might continue to release alcohol into the blood stream until the heart and lungs stop. “We live in a society that encourages, expects and demands you use mind altering drugs but doesn’t tolerate it if you have problems,” he said. He added that most people can use drugs without serious negative experiences. “You might say something that will embarrass you the next day or you may throw up in your mother’s car,” he explained. “Others experience bad consequences, addiction, dependency, permanent disability, death and imprisonment," he added. “When you take a chemical and get high, it’s not the drug that’s doing that,” he said. “The chemicals artificially block or stimulate chemicals that are already in the body.” He said there are other ways to get high. He said for him success in sports and love are “highs.” He said he also gets high from skiing, motorcycling, and hang gliding. He added that both laughing and crying can give some of the same experiences as drugs. “One night I almost OD’ed in laugh lock,” he said. “You’re going to make the decisions,” he said. “If you decide to use chemicals, I hope you don’t have bad consequences. If you decide not to, I hope you will still experience highs.” Fall Fashions Suits and Sport Coats by Sportswear by Shoes by • Palm Beach • Pendleton • London Fog • Woolrich • Pendleton • Florsheim • Bass • Dexter Warren Quality Shop "Front Royal's Finest Men's and Boys Shop" 10% Senior Citizens discount * 113 E.

When neither of the other candidates commented on the Western Bypass in their opening comments, Jonathan Achilles asked them where they stood. Margaret Haynes commented, “I’m flatly opposed to the Western Bypass. There has to be a better way out of our fix than pouring more concrete on our countryside.” She said that until recently it had been difficult to see the mountains. “This is because of pollution from highways,” she said. Mr. Darby said he also opposed the Western Bypass and added, “I’d be surprised if more than a handful of people other than the Northern Virginia Homebuilders Association is for the Western Bypass.” He warned that there were highway proposals beyond the western bypass to oppose. He noted that U.S. 29 was proposed as a “secondary interstate.” Philip Irwin, former RLEP president, noted that Sen. Miller had sponsored the bill to require that localities allow double-wide mobile homes in agricultural zoning saying, “Some of us consider that an affront to local government.” He asked the candidates to comment on that bill. Ms. Haynes was letting an empty chair represent the absent Sen. Miller. Moderator Frank Reynolds said Sen. Miller should be allowed to respond to the question. Ms. Haynes was ready to respond as soon as the empty chair was finished. “I think it’s outrageous,” she said. “Richmond shouldn’t be mandating to any community what it should allow. That legislation was prompted by PAC (political action committee) money,” she said. She noted that when the first list of political contributors was filed “Mr. Miller’s contributions looked like alphabet soup.” She said that one of the contributing organizations was the Association of Manufactured Homes. “This is a response to the underpinning of his campaign,” she said. “That should be a local zoning issue,” she added. “That’s why the state has local Comprehensive Plans.” Mr. Wood agreed that allowing mobile homes should be a “local option.” Mr. Darby noted that there was a “good sized” mobile home manufacturer in Ms. Haynes’ and Sen. Miller’s district. He said that the Piedmont Environmental Council has contested the bill based on the the issue of fire safety in remote areas. “I don’t think it is a good idea, and I told Kevin that,” he said. Ms. Haynes was asked if there is a chance the bill could be repealed. “If I’m elected there might be,” she said. “If he stays there won’t be.” Patricia Saltonstall asked the three candidates to give their views on “abortion and choice.” Mr. Darby said, “I believe the unborn baby has life, and I believe taking life is wrong, so abortion is wrong, but I don’t think we should criminalize it. Instead it is the responsibility of families to teach, to lead us out of this situation through example.” He said he would support a law to require parental consent for School Band Rentals ’’SINCE 1937" MUSIC CENTER, INC. 38 West Boses wen St Winchester, VA 22601 CALL TOLL-FREE 1-800-333-1937 Reserve Your Choice By Phone.

Ms. Haynes said one reason the! Shenandoah National Park had.not! increased the acreage in wilderness | was because of the spread of the] gypsy moth. < “It is unfortunate that the money! is gone, but there is no panacea. Un-] til the national economy recovers' Virginia’s economy won’t improve.” She noted that Virginia had been ranked fourth from the top as one of the best fiscally managed states. “Once the economy improves we can prioritize that,” she said, referring to gypsy moth spraying. Mr. Darby said the voters should, elect him because in helping to start' a business that grew from four to 2,300 employees he had proven his knowledge of “what it takes to have’ a healthy business climate. ” He said, “One thing I can do business is resist the tax increapejj Gov.

He noted that the most recent state tax increases enacted during Gov.

CURRIE Rappahannock New» SUIT Writer Castleton sculptor Maggi Morris's • upcoming show at Middle Street Gallery in Washington is unique. The show, opening Oct. 6, is entitled “Sculpture by Maggi Morris And Creative Expression by Children.” Not only will Ms. Morris exhibit several pieces of her own work—all wildlife pieces in wood, soapstone and alabaster—some from previous shows and new pieces, she will display pieces created with and by children as well as several oil paintings by well-known artist David Zimmerman of Marlyand. “We have shown together in the past,” gallery president Ms. Morris said, explaining in 1983, she and Zimmerman shared a show at the Veerhoff Gallery in Washington. Zimmerman’s work is usually large—18-by-24 framed—landscapes in oils and sells for $600 to over $1,000. Previous artist-in-residence for the National Park Service, Mr. Zimmerman’s work has appeared on NBC Televison as well as in several galleries in D. C. and Northern Virginia. Mr. Zimmerman, bom in D.C., holds a master’s degree in fine art. He has presented 16 one-person showte and has exhibited in over 75 group juried shows, is represented in many corporate collections and in private collections nationwide. “As a fundraiser for the gallery, one painting will be auctioned off,” said Ms. Morris. Noel Putnam of White Oak Forge in The Plains is auctioneer. “He is a great facilitor,” said Ms. Morris, adding Mr. Putnam has spoken to the gallery at other functions and was “facilitor for the‘Sacred Cow’ exhibit last year.” “This is something unique for the gallery,” Ms. Morris said of the auction, to be held between 6 and 7 Photo courtesy Maggi Moms ‘Owls’ is on exhibit during October at Middle Street Gallery. p.m., the day the show opens. “This is also the first time anyone has invited a guest to show with them,” Ms. Morris said, adding this is a new feature the gallery is hosting. “Outside artist can send examples of their work for review,” she said, adding from this the gallery board may chose “a single show or two-person show.” “We have some wonderful talent in this area,” she said, but by allowing others to exhibit their work “the gallery can reach a broader area.” Besides work by Mr. Zimmerman, Ms. Morris will exhibit several unique art forms by children of various ages and backgrounds. “There are three stone , sculptures,” she said of the “Expressions by Children.” "Throughout the year, I have taught several classes and worked on ^ group sculpture with all children working together,” said Ms. Morris, i adding this collaboration “on a piece draws them together in unity.” “My new motivation is to teach classes to special children and show them in places where children need stimulation,” she explained, adding she hopes to work with sick, injured, handicapped or other such children by allowing them success in creating art and showing the product in children’s hospitals, cancer units, or children’s , homes. “They can learn that when life is hard, they can do this and make something happen on their own,” she said. ’ The first exhibited piece by children is a stone piece created over a two day period while Ms. Morris worked as artist-in-residence at the Child Care and Learning Center in Washington. The second stone piece was created while Ms. Morris worked at See ART SHOW, p.

Strip Paul Mellon of his wealth, power and privilege, and what you have left is an ordinary man with extraordinary assets: sincerity, generosity, and a charming ability to put people at ease. At 84 years of age, the gray-haired, blue-eyed Mellon exudes a quiet confidence that draws you to him. You want to sit down and talk to Paul Mellon. You want to clasp his hand and say, “I love that painting, too.” When Mellon speaks about the things he loves the most—horses and art—you start planning a trip to the Belmont, N.Y., races. Paul Mellon and his wife Bunny, the former Rachel Lambert (Lloyd), live at Oak Spring, one of six farms that comprise the 4,000-acre Rokeby in Upperville, Fauquier County. On one hand Rokeby is the quintessential working farm, with a sizeable herd of cattle, a dairy and horses all over the place. On the other hand, you know you’re light years away from the com fields of Iowa. Perhaps it’s the inconspicuous guards who wave you on with a smile as you turn into the drive, or Rokeby’s signature fencing: the miles of chestnut rails criss-crossing stone walls. Herds of broodmares and yearlings, grazing on rolling hills which tumble back over the horizon, add to the scene. Continuing down the drive, the glassed-in pool house on the right reminds you of Paxton’s Crystal Palace on a much more modest scale —all light and air, gardens and glass. By the time you reach the sprawling, unpretentious manor house, you feel privileged just to be inside the gates. And then Mellon himself opens the door, as though it was his idea that you come. What does Paul Mellon do, exactly? Nomenclatures are hard to fit to him. Horseman doesn’t touch upon the passion he holds toward the sport, be it racing stakes’ winners or hunting with the Piedmont hounds, where he was joint-master from 1954-58. Art collector doesn’t convey the depth of knowledge he has about each and every painting that hangs on his walls. Nor does the word philanthropist quite encompass the generosity behind the staggering number of paintings, sculptures, drawings and books he has bequeathed to so many institutions, from the Yale Center for British Art and the National Gallery in Washington to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Mellon’s house bursts with paintings and drawings, the kind you want to put in your pocketbook and take back home. Photographs of his family jostle for space alongside Munnings and Degases on the wall. “That’s my mother when she was first married and was living in Pittsburgh. I think that was taken near our house,” says Mellon, pointing to a photograph of a woman on a rearing horse. Mellon's mother, Nora Me Arundel Newspapers Staff Photo/Scott Ferrell Paul Mellon with Degas figurines. Mullen, was English-born. She moved to Rokeby in 1931 after she divorced Paul’s father. 1 Near Mellon’s mother hangs an exquisite and rare Stubbs landscape of a bam; underneath is a Degas of a recalcitrant racehorse. To the left are four perfect James Seymour drawings (English, 1702-1752): magnificent, wide-eyed race horses being led away by their grooms. Mellon’s manner of collecting is awe-inspiring. You know he buys only what is good, that he marvels at the vortexes and swirls of paint in a Munnings, and that he’s moved by Degas’ perfect placement of a line. Mellon is as eager to share snippets about his life as he is to share his art. He tells about a near-miss the priceless Degas wax figurines underwent not long ago when the Halon gas system (a fire-extinguishing system), which still had some bugs in it, met with the thenglass but now-plastic ceiling. “In case of fire these doors would close, and gas would come down from these places in the comers. Well, one day a thermostat was set wrong in this room, and someone left the lights on too long and they set off the alarm. “The doors closed, and the trouble was the gas comes down from the bottom and then it goes up. When it got up to the top, the glass was red-hot, and the whole thing broke into thousands of pieces and came falling down,” he says. “The miraculous thing is that it never touched any of the statues. You would have thought it could have easily cut off that girl’s arm or her leg. We were really very lucky. So now we have plastic in the ceiling instead.” Mellon has just finished, with the help of author John Baskett, an autobiography of his life, starting with his Pittsburgh origins. Mellon’s grandfather, Thomas Mellon, was a judge and a banker, vocations felicitous to developing the Mellon Bank. Thomas’ two sons, Richard and Andrew, continued in his footsteps, shrewdly funding such then-fledging corporations as Gulf Oil, Alcoa, Koppers, Westinghouse and Carborundum. ' Mellon’s banker-father Andrew was for 11 yearssecretary of the Treasury. He also loved art, though heleaned toward the Italian and Flemish schools, like his friend Henry Clay Frick. Andrew Mellon’s collection of paintings, in fact, form the nucleus of the National Gap lery of Art, the museum he helped fund and establish in1930 with $71 million: $16 million for the gallery building, a $6 million endowment for salaries and art valued at $50 million. — Andrew’s contributions pale in comparison with his son’s. The younger Mellon founded and gave the Yale Center $18 million in addition to 1,200 British paintings and 20,000 prints and drawings; then there was the $31 million to build the East Wing of the National Gallery (his sister, the late Ailsa Mellon Bruce and the Andrew f W. Mellon Foundation each provided one-third of the ' $94.4 million needed) in addition to 1,000 works .of French, American and English artists; and to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, more than 1,500 paintings by Cezanne, Degas, Manet, Picasso, Eakins, Homer, Stubbs, and others in addition to $6 million towards the new West Wing. Then there are the foundations he oversees that ‘ contribute to such endeavors as higher education, conservation and ecological concerns. For all his fame in the art, horse and educational worlds, what is Paul Mellon really like? T . w “He is most delightful, and has a wonderful sensgl of humor. He’s absolutely low-key, never any bragging^ There’s never any feeling of great wealth when youW-l around him at all,” said Warrentonian William “BiUyT! Wilbur, Master of the Warrenton Hounds from 19IJ4-'! 1968 and an old foxhunting friend of the Mellons. _ j “He has very simple tastes. For example, Mrs*.;' Wilbur and I went up to Belmont Park with him on Sun-! day,” Wilbur says. ‘ “But there’s no question about making drinks or£ anything on the plane or anything. He never wantrj help. In the house or wherever you are, it’s very case*! fully low-key without domestics around. Paul does awful lot of that himself. I don’t mean cooking and 2E that, but I mean as far as cocktail hour and all, quite <7f=*” ten he is the bartender.” —•>> Mellon’s humor dances from his eyes, and it’s ev5^ dent in his house as well.

Use apples to enhance fall entrees By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Fall is here. . .with its crisp weather, falling leaves, and apples ready to be harvested. Select apples according to their use. The best apples for cooking are: Jonathan, Grimes Golden, Golden Delicious, Stayman, Winesap, Rome, and York. For salads, select Red Delicious, Jonathan, Golden Delicious, and Stayman. For applesauce, select Grimes Golden, York, Stayman, Golden Delicious, and Winesap. For eating, select your favorite sweet or tart apples. Varieties of apples Red Delicious: The most popular apple in the United States, good for salads, decorating and eating out of hand. A large to very large brilliant red apple with a characteristically long, angular shape and five knoblike projections at the base. Golden Delicious: This apple is a HOME ECONOMICS favorite for salads because its flesh doesn’t discolor as quickly after cutting. Good for cooking and eating out of hand, and is also a good pie apple. Fairly large and pale yellow in color, oblong in shape. The Golden Delicious is sweet and juicy. Stayman: Generally believed to be the best all-purpose apple, it is good for eating and cooking. The Stayman is medium to large in size with dull red skin, at time streaked with green. It is fairly round and very firm and its flesh is tart and juicy, with a crunchy texture. Jonathan: Like the Stayman, this is an all-purpose apple, but it is an earlier variety than the Stayman, generally ripening in September. It is small to medium in size, with a rounded shape, perfect for lunch boxes because of its size. The flesh of the Jonathan is tart, crisp and juicy. The skin is red with patches of green. Rome: Considered to be the best apple variety for baking and excellent for pies. The Rome is round and squatty, sits easily in pans for baking. It has red skin and slightly tart, firm and crisp flesh. Medium to large in size. York: Another excellent cooking apple and also a good winter eating apple. The York is particularly good USDA Choice Beef T- BONE OR PORTERHOUSE STEAKS X^^DACWceBeST^— BONELESS t SIRLOIN STEAK $098 , -7 mSM Lb* r— yr yyr Boneless Center Cut PORK CHOPS_ u>. 3.58 FILET & RIB END ROAST.....

Winesap: This is one of the oldest varities still in commercial production. Small to medium in size with a dark red color and round shape. The Winesap is good for fresh eating and cooking, especially frying. It has juicy, tart flesh and a wine-like taste. Apple-enhanced entrees Apples are a very versatile fruit when it comes to food preparation. In addition to apple pie and apple desserts, apples can be used in salads, breads, in combination with vegetables and with entrees. My column this week features some recipes that combine apples with beef, pork and chicken for fall entrees. Pork pot-au-feu Pork, sweet potatoes and apples are natural companions.

Mellon Continued from page B-1 ’W —are trying to figure out if, after you die, you go to Pittsburgh because you’ve been bad or good. When asked why he didn’t pursue business or politics, Mellon is disarmingly honest. “I didn’t feel my mind was geared to that kind of thinking or that kind of life. I haven’t anything against banking and business, but it just bored me,” he says. A little dog gallops into the room. That’s Patrick, JJellon’s Norwich terrier. Up and out! When we go on to Brick House, Patrick rides in the blue Subaru station wagon with us. The Brick House is a beautifully-proportioned, Georgian-inspired structure that Mellon lived in with h» first wife, the late Mary Conover, from 1941 to 1946. J In 1961 he converted it into a private museum housing his staggering collection of British and French sporting art and books, including paintings by George Stubbs (English, 1724-1806) and the original wrax sculptures of Edgar Degas. Z “That was the first picture I bought,” he said, panting to a Stubbs’ painting “Pumpkin with a StAble Lpd” on the wall of the Brick House. “Lovely painting, and it’s in remarkably good state, considering it’s on panel,” he says. Mellon bought the work in 1936, and he continued to purchase so many Stubbs that no one in the world has more. Mellon said he started collecting in England after graduating from Cambridge’s Clare College in 1931 (he also attended the Choate School and Yale University). “For a long time, oh, 15 years. I bought sporting pictures along with all the other (English and French paintings). When we decided to build the center for British Art at Yale, I gave away a lot of my paintings then—probably 90 percent. But then I kept all the rest of the sporting pictures, and they are what are over at tie Brick House now and a few in here,” he said. The thousands of pictures he has bought since that Jtqne can hardly be counted, scattered as they are between the Tate Gallery in London, the National Gallery urWashington, the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven and the Virginia Museum in Richmond. All, fogwever. are catalogued in volumes sitting on his libmry shelf. * The pictures left at the Brick House, though, truly SStound; there’s Jacques-Laurent Agasse (1767-1849), Whose straightforward horse paintings are like a Swiss Version of Stubbs’ original and searching portraits; tainting scenes by Henry Thomas Aiken (1785-1851), racing matches by John Frederick Herring (1795-1865), stallions by James Ward (1769-1859), and many, many others. Mellon knows them all. Pointing to Ben Marshall’s “Richard Prince, with Damon, the Late Colonel Mellish’s Pointer,” Mellon says, “He belonged to a man named Prince who was the training groom of a Col. Mellish, who owned the dog.” He explains that Tate curator Judy Edgerton recognized the dog in an 1825 sporting magazine, and from there they unravelled the painting’s date and identified both the dog and the man. It’s Stubbs, however, for whom Mellon holds a soft spot. “I think Stubbs is not only a great sporting artist but a great artist in his own right. I think if you left the horses out of his pictures, that his landscapes are as worthy as Gainsborough or Wilson or any of the great landscape painters. And he was even a very good portrait painter,” he said. , v The fact that Stubbs paints horses is no small part of Mellon’s appreciation of him. When asked about his own hunters, Mellon jumps up and snatches a photograph from the wall. , , “That’s a horse called Dublin. He was given to me by my mother here in Virginia when I came back from Cambridge. And he was really an absolutely perfect hunter. He was a wonderful jumper, though he did pull hadly,” he says. As Mellon continues, you realize foxhunting is to Mellon what ’chasing is to Dick Francis; an endless source of pleasure and thrill. Though he gave up hunting 10 years ago, Mellon’s close friends are still those with whom he hunted, but now they go to races or check out art. Billy Wilbur is a case in point. Wilbur hunted with Mellon on a regular basis, and he tells about one Piedmont jaunt. “We were over on land that belongs to John Warner now. Mr. Mellon jumped over a little fence in a bit of woodland and his horse’s hind legs got hung up in a fox grapevine. “It was really tricky. It looked like he was going to have a fall. Now I happened, quite improperly, to have wire cutters, (so I cut him loose).” The friendship continued throughout the 100-mile rides Mellon did throughout the’70s. “Mr. Mellon had been riding them before me. So one year, he asked me to ride it with him,” said Wilbur. The Rokeby hunters Silver Goose and Christmas Goose carried both men to several championships and reserves. Mellon stopped riding altogether about two years ago. He stays on top, however, of the racing scene; just last week he was in England watching his racehorses run with his English trainer, Ian Balding. “I’ve been sending horses that we bred (to England) ever since after World War II, ’46 or ’47, and we’ve always sent them to the same yard, as they call them. It’s always been the same family,” says Mellon. Mack Miller has been Mellon’s American trainer for the past 14 years. “I first met Paul Mellon many years ago, casually, in the paddock,” Miller is quoted as saying in a Bloodhorse article by Edward Bowen (Oct. 7,1989). “I was always impressed that people like Mr. Mellon, and Mr. (George D.) Widener and Mr. (John Hay) Whitney always made a point to speak to young country boys like me. It made a great impression. He was always one of the people I admired,” he said. Mellon’s eyes light up when he speaks about horses. Horses are more than a passion to him; they are an obsession. He’s bred more than 75 stakes winners, and he has to his credit a couple of Belmont wins (Quadrangle, Arts and Letters); five Travers (Quadrangle, Arts and Letters, Key to the Mint, Java Gold), four Internationals (Fort Marcy, twice, Run the Gantlet), a Whitney (Java Gold), and a Hopeful (Crusader Sword.) “It’s hard to say about favorite horses because there have been a lot of horses that I’ve liked. Fort Marcy was certainly a favorite of mine. He was so consistent and very tough. Very competitive,” says Mellon. Fort Marcy, the son of Amerigo-Key Bridge, earned more than $1 million under Mellon’s gray and yellow silks. The horse won five stakes races as a sixyear-old in 1970; he shared Horse-of-the-Year honors with Personality in that same year. And then there is Mill Reef, the Rokeby colt of 1968 who won 12 out of 14 starts and more than $750,000 in his four-year career. Tragedy struck when the horse broke his leg in 1972. “That was a case of having all the best in the world and a big tragedy, too,” said Mellon in Bowen’s article (Sept. 23, 1989). The horse did, however, enjoy a rewarding career at stud. The Kentucky Derby and the Preakness are two trophies that remain unconquered. “I think (Arts and Letters) was the closest I’ll ever come to winning the Derby because he was just beaten by half a length. And he was only beaten by a nose in the Preakness. He was a very able horse,” says Mellon. According to Wilbur, Mellon’s unflagging er^rgy is not of the hysteric kind. He’s cool and calm, whether a horse sets the turf on fire or peters out the back. Mellon explains it best himself in a 1975 poem. “The day my final race is run And, win or lose, the sinking sun Tells me it’s time to quit the track And gracefully hang up my tack I’ll thank the Lord the life I’ve led Was always near a thoroughbred. —Address at the 1975testimonial dinner for the ThoroughbredClub of America.

This piece was donated to the 4-H Educational Center in Front Royal and has been loaned for the show. The third piece created by Ms. Morris and pre-teens and teens was a product of Ms. Morris work with Youth Experiencing Success (YES), a 4-H camp. Also on exhibit are several pieces created by children with gallery member and artist Laurie Marshall during her artist-in-residence at Rappahannock Elementary School.' The shows runs through Oct. 28. Her next show, following the October exhibition in Washington, Va., will be at the National Wildlife Federation in 1992. The Middle Street Gallery is open from 11 a.m.-6 p.m., FridaySunday. This weekend marks the last chance to see Middle Street Gallery founder Dan Lewis’ show of new works. The exhibit features new work executed in oils based on the theme of Rappahannock County landscapes. Many of them were painted on location. Mr. Lewis, a county resident, left a commercial art career in D.C. in the mid-’70s and began painting with a more serious eye. He has exhibited in numerous shows in the Northern Virginia area in the past 16 years. This, his first solo show, also includes some watercolors. His show ends Sept. 29. For more details, call Middle Street at 675-3440. SAT test Oct. 22 The preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test will be given beginning at 7:50 a m.
