House address issues By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Democrat Jerry Wood and Republican Bob Darby this week clarified their positions on a variety of issues facing the House of Delegates’ 31st District. One issue on which the candidates hold basically convergent opinions is abortion rights. Mr, .Wood says he is personally opposed to abortion, but as a legislator he would support Pro-choice positions. k' . ■ . Although Mr. Darby has been characterized as Pro-life by local church groups, in reality he resists either label (he says he’s been called Pro-life and Prochoice). “People are going to draw their own conclusions, and I guess there are shades,” he said. He does not want abortions to become criminal acts, and supports parental consent when minors are seeking abortions. Should performing abortions without parental consent be a crime? Mr. Darby said he will have to research that. In short, said Mr. Darby, he would not favor a change in Virginia law that would make most or all abortions illegal. ' . v Mr. Wood is personally against abortions except in the case of rape or incest, but said he would “hate to °judge other people’s decisions, I really would.” Both candidates have received some criticism from the preservationist community in the Fauquier-Warren-Rappahannock area for not having been involved in the issue. Mr. Darby belongs to the Piedmont Environmental Council and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, and said he intends to keep his 154 acres in Woodville (Rappahannock County) in land-use. He admitted that he told reporters that he opposes the use W impact fees during the present recession. “I shouldn’t have said that,” said Mr. Darby this week, saying he actually supports them. “My position is as I stated to (the Rappahannock News).

HOUSE, p.A-7 Ten o-* County completes assessin<pits Board schedules property owner appeals By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N«wi SUIT Writer Landowners will be getting notices of their new assessments next week, and overall they will show an increase of nearly 48 percent since the 1988 assessment. The total value of taxable land and buildings in Rappahannock according to the new assessment is almost $750 million. The current assessment is just under $508 million. The value of land has increased more than the value of buildings. According to figures provided by Blue Ridge Appraisers, the Staunton company that is doing the reassessment for the county, land values have gone from $305.5 million in 1988 to $470.2 million this year, nearly a 54 percent increase. The ap See story, p. A-3 praisal on buildings in the county has gone from $202.2 million to $279.5 million, a little more than a 38 percent increase. There is an additional $22 million in value of land and buildings that is not taxable. This includes schools, government buildings, churches and the landfill. Currently taxes on 28 percent of the county’s land are deferred through the land use assessment program. If a similar percentage continues in land use, that would reduce the taxable base to $618 million. The county’s current tax rate ol 77 cents per hundred should raise about $2.8 million. A tax rate of 4f cents per hundred would raise the same amount with the new assessment. The 48 percent increase is an average. Landowners can expect theii assessments to increase more or less than that. Land values have increased more in certain parts of the county than others. The Board of Assessors will hole meetings to discuss assessments with landowners who have questions or consider their assessments unfaii starting Oct. 9. Those who wish to meet with the assessors should call the Commissioner of Revenue’s office for sm appointment (675-3513). Senate race presents clear choice for voters By SHARONKILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Nothing so clearly illustrates the differences in approach to state problems of Democratic incumbent Sen. Thomas Micbie and former FBI agent Ed Robb, ^iis Republican opponent in the State Senate’s 25th District, as their answers to how to handle the problem of fairness in the state’s funding of public schools. The 25th District includes the old district boundaries of StonewallHawthom District; the city of Charlottesville; Madison, Greene, Nelson and Albemarle counties and part of Orange County. The state is facing the threat of a lawsuit by a coalition of counties, chiefly in the southern and southwestern part of the state over the issue of disparity in the quality of education offered in their counties compared to such counties as Fairfax. The state’s funding formula attempts to deal with this issue by paying between 20 and 80 percent of the state’s calculation of the basic cost of meeting its “standards of quality.” The percentage a locality receives varies according to the “loSee VA. SENATE p. A-5 Ed Robb Literacy marks first birthday By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Rappahannock’s literacy volunteers celebrated a year of successful operation Saturday. Chairman Lee Bird said that in the year since the group became an official chapter of the Literacy Volunteers of America, the organization had grown to 50 members with 16 trained tutors, and 12 of them are paired with students. Mr. Bird noted that the program works with a students ranging from those who do not know their letters to those working to complete the high school equivalency exam. They range in age from their 20s to their 70s. He said tutors were also prepared to work with those who are not native speakers of English, and in one case a volunteer is teaching sign language to a jail inmate whose deaf daughter is also learning sign language. He noted that the group continues to have problems getting students. Many people who are unable to read or who have trouble reading are accustomed to hiding their problem. Also some students start and then drop out of the program because their jobs leave them with little time to continue to work with In the elementary schools quick tutoring ’ program, remedial teachers and others give short term help to students. tutors. He said that files on students are confidential and information is stored in a locked file cabinet. Rappahannock Elementary Principal David Smith spoke to the group about efforts being made in the elementary school to help students with problems with reading and math. There are four labs at the elementary school funded through the federal governments Chapter 1 program. He said that these labs work with students who are below the 40th percentile on standardized tests. Mr. Smith said the goal of these programs is to get the students back in the regular classrooms. “Most of our students receiving Chapter 1 services are in the program only a year or two,” he said. Mr. Smith said there was also a teacher trained in “reading recovery” and another receiving training. In this program the teachers work one on one with first graders who have fallen behind in reading. They work with the students for a half hour a day for eight to 20 weeks. This “early intervention” program is supposed to prevent problems in later years, he said. He also said there is a teachers’ aide doing remedial work in reading with kindergarten students, but the school system could use trained volunteers for similar work with kindergartners who are having problems with math. He said another program at the elementary school is “quick tutoring.” In this program remedial teachers and other teacher and administrative volunteers give short term help to students who are having trouble with a particular skill or assignment. Mr. Smith said the citizens won’t see the “payoff” from these programs until the students are in high school. “You may not notice them as they go through high school because they won’t be failures,” he added. *e; ~i C' - * M server Exchange student , ; Kelly Cunningham serves up an ,ace at the county • 4^*4 tennis ^ tournament held last week at the tern m*:

Inaccurate assessments penalize county ByCOL.E.P. LUKE Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer In August 1990 the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors decided , that county real estate had to be re' assessed in 1991. This was critical ; because property sales values in the . county were escalating, and the as’ sessment/sales ratio was decreasing. ; The assessment/sales ratio con; sists of two parts, i.e., the assessed value of the property and the sales ; or fair market value of the property. ! Virginia law requires the county average assessed value of property ; to be at least 70 percent of the average fair market value and should be as close as possible to 100 percent. , The Department of Taxation keeps track of these data and when their audit of county records indicates the assessment/sales ratio falls below their minimum requirement of 70 percent they withhold a percentage of the county’s share of ABC profits. They also use the assessment/sales ratio in determining the amount of Public Service Corporation tax revenue that comes to the county. A new re-assessment is required to remedy this situation and revenue is withheld until the state requirement is met. It is advantageous for the county to comply, because if ignored, the county continues to lose money each year. The ABC and Public Service Corporation payments to the county listed here provide a clearer picture of the situation (see table of penalties). From 1988 to 1991 county revenue decreased by $36,183 because the aasessment/sales ratio was too low. Before the professional assessors working for the Staunton-based Blue Ridge Appraisal Company ' started making new assessments in the county they made a county wide survey of previous sales between 1989 and February 1991. Using the data from these sales*, tables were developed for cost-persquare-foot values for various types of construction. For example, a onestory wood frame house with 1,500 square feet has a $36.25 cost-persquare-foot value for reassessment purposes. Values were also developed for other items such as decks, garages, etc. The company assessors and the county Board of Assessors used the values in making the current assessment of county property. The Board of Assessors visited each house that has a tax card on file in the office of the Commissioner of Revenue to verify the work of the professional assessor. Preliminary results indicate that the new assessed values are in line with the fair market values, or selling price, for properties that have been sold between 1989 and 1991. Some typical land sales provide an insight into how much property has sold for above its 1988 assessed value and its associated percent increase (see chart of real estate sales). The assessors and the county Board of Assessors recognize and understand that people will be disturbed about the large increases in property and land values. However, as the above tabulation illustrates, market forces caused these increases and some people have profited from selling property. While we concede the volume of sales has not been as vigorous as it was several years ago, we do not see a drastic reduction of advertised selling prices. The Board of Assessors hearings will start Oct. 9 and we welcome questions about the new assessment and its effect on individual property taxes. Bear in mind that the new assessments will not necessarily cause an increase in individual property taxes.

(Editor’s note: Col. E.P. Luke is chairman of the county Board of Assessors, is chairman of PD-9 Planning Commission and is past chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors.) 'Debate on debates' edges to conclusion By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer Polls conducted by the campaigns of Democrat Kay Slaughter and Republican George Allen both indicate the candidates are about even in the race to replace retiring incumbent U.S. Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr. in Congress. Ms. Slaughter’s poll shows Mr. Allen with 30 percent, Ms. Slaughter with 27 percent, and 43 percent undecided. Mr. Allen’s poll has the two deadlocked at 36 percent. John Howland, Ms. Slaughter’s press secretary, said the poll was a “pleasant surprise,” and attributed her success in the Republican-majority 7th Congressional District to his candidate’s Pro-life stand. He also said her surname has provided her with unexpected name recognition. “She’s from an old 7th District family—it’s a name once they hear they remember it,” he said. Jay Timmons, Mr. Allen’s campaign manager, said name recognition is “one of the things we said very early on would benefit her.” t On the issue of abortion (Ms. Slaughter is Pro-choice and Mr. Allen won’t state an opinion), Mr. Timmons said Mr. Allen “doesn’t care to be labelled. Like most Americans, he doesn’t fit into one extreme or the other.” If churches are advertising Mr. Allen as Pro-life, said Mr. Timmons, the campaign won’t turn away their support. “Any candidate is comfortable with support from any organiza tion,” he said. Ms. Slaughter has attacked Mr. Allen for accepting contributions from British Petroleum in his Virginia House of Delegates races. Mr. Timmons said, “Any company or individual who has contributed to [Mr. Allen’s] campaign is looking to get government off his back. ” Mr. Allen’s campaign, attempting to portray Ms. Slaughter as leftwing, issued a press release this week citing, in part, “. . .her support for Michael Dukakis over George Bush in 1988. . In a debate aired on a Charlottesville radio station last week, Mr. Allen said, “Fortunately, the vast majority of the people of this area thought we needed a conservative Republican as president. And fortunately my candidate won and we are fortunate also that your liberal candidate did not win.” What Mr. Timmons calls “the debate on the debates” continued this week, with the two camps no closer to deciding on a schedule. Mr. Timmons said he hoped for “at least" two debates. Ms. Slaughter has said she will let the League of Women Voters determine the format and scheduling of televised debates. Mr. Timmons said he was not certain that any D.C. television stations will be willing to televise any debate, were it to be scheduled. “I think we can set up at least two,” said Mr. Timmons, adding Mr. Allen wants to “do as many as we can.” BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED QUILTMAKING LESSONS at THE LITTLE SHOP 0#OF MADISON Tuesday & Friday Classes v Forming NOW!

Woodward, Sheriff Library, schools plan to share resources By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Rappahannock Library Board Chairman William Young announced last week that the library expects to get a grant to join a computer network with local public schools, the Culpeper public library and schools, the Orange public library and Germanna Community College. The grant will enable the library to purchase computer equipment and have a catalog of books in the collection in a computer database. This will also allow the library to use a bar code scanner for checking books in and out and to share information on the collection with the other cooperating libraries. At last Thursday’s Library Board meeting the board also adopted rules for the use of the community meeting room. There will be a form to reserve the room. Meetings held in the meeting room must be free and open to the public, and the community meeting room may not be used for fund-raising activities. Groups using the room must arrange to get the key and return it within one day. They must learn how to operate the security system and must leave the room clean. The board also approved a landscaping plan. Holly May, chairman of the landscaping committee, and Mark Malik, a landscape architect, presented the plan to the board. Donations of money or of the recommended plants will be welcome. The board agreed to enter ' into a contract with Larry Joliffe of Amissville to provide cleaning service for the library. Roberta Anderson, chairman of the building committee, reported that several fairly small items nned to be cleared up before a final walk through of the building. The board agreed that the Literacy Volunteers should be responsible for paying for changes to the downstairs room needed for their use of the room. Librarian Nikki Lynch reported that the use of the library continues to be greater than it was in the old library.

BARBARA C. BURKE General Manager ANN BROWN Account Executive The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1991 Editorial Growth issues Around the state this month the General Assembly’s highpowered Commission on Population Growth and Development plans meetings, including one at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 at the 4-H Center in Front Royal. The commission’s work has been bolstered by the release of the 1990 Census, which reveals some pretty awesome figures about the rate of population growth in the Old Dominion, particularly in Northern Virginia and the Northern Piedmont. The number of people living in Virginia increased 16 percent between 1980 and 1990—the fifth fastest rate of growth among the nation’s 50 states. The growth commission estimates more than 2 million people will be calling Virginia home by the year 2020—a 41 percent increase from 6.1 million today to 8.7 million. The most recent Census counted 6,622 persons in little Rappahannock County, but at the present rate of growth the commission projects we could see a population figure of 8,209 in 30 years, which would be a 24 percent jump. There’s good reason to think that figure might be low. Fauquier, under the same projections, would increase from its 48,741 population last year by adding 38,556 by 2020. With a 'four-lane liighway leading west into Rappahannock, we are concerned that spillover growth may hit the county’s eastern edge, putting the burden on our already stretched county budget. The growth commission’s job has implications for every resident of the state. Just look how the last decade’s 15.7 percent population jump pushed the numbers in a variety of areas: household formation increased 23 percent, the number of registered vehicles jumped 35 percent, average daily auto trips went up 60 percent. According to a growth commission publication, “If current trends continue, land consumption will increase at twice the rate of population growth over the next decade.” Land consumption is already a problem here. The local meetings, including the one at the 4-H Center, are supposed to, among other things, “generate suggestions and directions on how growth strategies can be developed for the state that will provide for economic prosperity and a sustainable quality of life.” We wish the commission well: after more than two decades of grappling with the very same issues in this region we sometimes feel we’re not much closer to any comprehensive solution. We hope they will have more luck. SCHOOL IS OPEN-DRIVE „ CAREFU>LVrM Why she's a liberal To the Editor: In the exchange of letters to the editor I’ve had with Edith Pond, this year and last, at least two lessons have been learned. First, Social Security does not add to the federal deficit, but instead, owing to the administration’s smoke-and-mirrors accounting, about $60 billion to $70 billion of excess funds in the Social Security Trust Fund have been drawn out and applied to reduce the deficit in the general fund. Second, mere characterization, or name calling, without some sort of factual support, is hardly a proper basis for argument. Now for the applications of these two lessons. I. Edith Pond would define “liberal,” used in the political sense, as “characterized by generosity and willingness to give in large amounts with other people’s money.” (Her words emphasized.) For purpose of this discussion, I accept the amended definition. In the mid 1980s, largely as a result of Reagan’s supply-side tax cuts (what Bush described once as “voodoo economics”) and defense buildup, an annual deficit of $220 billion was attained. This was an all-time high until Bush scored somewhere around $350 billion. All of this money is borrowed, of course, and the payback, if any, must necessarily burden our children, their children, and their children’s children; yea, even unto the fourth and fifth generations. “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge” (Ezekiel 18:2). It would appear that Reagan and Bush have been generous and willing to obligate large amounts of other people’s money (i.e., our children, their children, etc.). Based on the facts, then, Reagan and Bush fall clearly within the Pond definition of politically liberal. furthermore, it you add to the Bush score of $60 billion to $70 billion of funds he has drawn each year from the Social Security Trust Fund, it will be seen that Bush will have spent in one year alone, more than $400 billion of other people’s money, which undoubtedly qualifies him as an “ultra liberal.” On the facts, that is. If you support Bush, as I suspect you do, Edith Pond, maybe you are an “ultra liberal” too. II. On the basis of the foregoing discussion and many other compelling considerations for which the present space is inadequate, I would like to urge the faithful to get out and vote for the following candidates on Nov. 5Jerry Wood, delegate; Margaret Haynes, state senator; and Kay Slaughter, congressman. All of these candidates are opposed to Bush’s budgetary “ultra liberalism,” and will vote sensibly on any matter that comes before them, since they are all either “conservative liberals” or “liberal conservatives.” On most issues. LEE BIRD Washington, Va. Deal with the threat To the Editor: Let’s face it: the pleasant, uncomplicated rural way of life we have enjoyed for so long in Rappahannock County is under very real threat from the pressures, stresses and strains of urban sprawl, big city congestion and crime. Those we elect on Nov. 5 must be qualified by education, technical training and leadership to represent us if we are to deal effectively with the ever more complex problems ahead. Concerned voters of Rappahannock County are invited to the Washington Fire Hall on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 2 p.m. to meet, hear and question candidates we beleive are our best hope for the future in Richmond and Washington. Andy Guest of Front Royal, who formerly represented us in Virginia’s House, will be here to greet old friends. Our own Bob Darby of Woodville, with the same high qualities of character and integrity as Andy, will tell us why he feels he is the one to replace Andy in Richmond. George Allen of Charlottesville, a thoroughly experienced and, by his record in Richmond, qualified legislator, will seek our votes to replace retiring Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr., in the U.S. House. We will also hear from state Sen. Kevin Miller, seeking to return to Virginia’s Senate. And, since our county is divided between two state Senatorial districts, Ed Robb of Charlottesville, no relation to the U.S. Senator from Virginia, will seek our support. There will be lively discussion and debates between the candidates, friends and neighbors. Refreshments will be served. All are invited to come and join the enlightenment, excitement and fun, at no charge. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Robbie Hamill-HufF examines pot-bellied pig at Rappahannock Elementary School. We look forward to seeing you there. Oh, and afterwards if you wish you can attend the other party’s gathering at Montpelier. It will cost you $10, but. . . . RON FRAZIER Amissville CCLC sale successful To the Editor: This past weekend the Child Care and Learning Center (CCLC) sponsored the First Annual Antique Show and Sale at Rappahannock Elementary School, managed by Thistle Hill Bed and Breakfast. It was attended by more than 200 people. CCLC would like to give thanks to Wilson and Jean Burke at the Flint Hill Store; Skippy Giles at Sam Snead Realty; Frank and Sherry Huff and Pepsi-Cola; Louise Van Dort and Hospitality Design Inc.; Dr. David Gangel, David Smith, Raye Tupper and Richard Smith of Rappahannock Elementary School; and the parents, staff, and board members of CCLC. Of course we couldn’t have done any of it without the generosity of the Rappahannock News, which provided publicity in its “Upcoming Events” section. The show was a successful event and we hope to do it again. SH ARON GENEBACH LUKE Board member CCLC Visit the GOP rally To the Editor: George Allen will be in Rappahannock County this Saturday, Oct. 5, for a Republican Rally at 2 p.m. at the Washington Fire Hall. There has been considerable confusion among 7th District voters, as his opponent bears our present congressman’s name and is a cousin. Among those who have been pleased with Rep. Slaughter’s positions on issues, some are confused. The record needs clearing. “Kay Slaughter and I share a surname, but that is where the similarities end . . . Make no mistake about it, . . .she is an extremely liberal Democrat, even according to her fellow party members. I am supporting George Allen to succeed me in the U.S. House,” said the congressman in his hometown newspaper. George Allen is a person who will continue the practical, common sense, conservative approach to our country’s problems of his recent predecessors, French Slaughter Jr. and Kenneth Robinson. Come to the rally Saturday, hear and talk with him and the other candidates, then make up your own mind. JOHN L. MAROCCHI Sperryville Health care and the ballot To the Editor: The health care dilemma facing most Virginians is an issue Bob Darby feels should have high priority at the next General Assembly. Running for the 31st House of Delegates seat, Mr. Darby notes that previous sessions of Virginia’s legislature have done little more than to appoint a commission called, “The Commission for Health Care for all Virginians.” Mr. Darby feels much more needs to be done; he will work hard to fine real solutions. Socialized medical insurance programs, similar to Canada’s, have not been as successful as once thought. Bob Darby feels that Virginians will not tolerate a system which gives a bureaucrat the power to make life and death medical decisions about our health care. Given the current fiscal situation of our governments, a system of nationalized - i.e., taxpayer funded — health care is not feasible in any case. Nor is placing the burden of insurance on employers, especially small businesses, economically sensible. Such a plan would do little to curtail medical costs. Further, the overhead caused by the burden of insurance would further damage American competitiveness in the world. In any case, employer provided insurance would cover less than half the currently insured which would cause the need for yet another complicated plan. Mr. Darby favors a consumer based system. Here, favorable tax treatement of health care purchases, including insurance, would provide most Virginians with adequate funds to purchase these services on their own. It is felt that when the consumer is directly responsible for the costs of their care, both prudence and competition play a role in keeping health care costs under control. Other advantages: no bureaucratic ' interference and overhead, no worry about job changes, and no worry over the employer’s ability to afford insurance. Those who are too poor to purchase at least a basic package of medical care, including catastrophic insurance, would be provided access to the public-sector health programs that are already in existence. Mr. Darby has real solutions to health care and other problems that concern Virginians. He has been successful to date in every endeavor. I think we should allow him to carry his success to Richmond. Let his success be our success.

WSA boosts rates by about 10 percent despite opposition By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Water and Sewer Authority voted to raise the rates from $14.10 per month per EDU (equivalent dwelling unit) to $15.50 Tuesday. They took this action in spite of the fact that the small crowd that attended the public hearing on the rate increase opposed it. Aileen Johnson said that if the WSA kept the current rate it would generate $1,000 more than the budget. She said that many families on the system were low income people who would not be able to afford the higher rates. Mrs. Johnson said she was one of the first people who was involved in getting the sewage treatment plant for the people of Sperryville and that they had agreed to join the system provided the rates were between $12 and $15 per month. She suggested that if 50 more buildings were put on the system, the rate increase would not be needed. There are currently 272 EDUs assigned to the plant, which was planned for 296. It was designed to handle 55,000 galons per day, and normally operates at about 20,000 gallons per day. Several of the EDUs are assigned to people who are not using them, however. WSA member James E. Swindler Jr. asked Mrs. Johnson where the 50 more users would come from. She replied that she knew of twoN who were ready to join. WSA member Charles K. “Pete” Estes noted that Mrs. Johnson’s figures on the budget included using the interest the authority earns on about $55,000 invested in certificates of deposit. Mr. Swindler said, “If we use the interest for operating expenses, we’ll never have any more money.” He explained that the authority wanted the investment fund to grow to pay to replace major items in years to come. Mrs. Johnson suggested that Sperryville could look for another grant if several years in the future the system faces major costs for replacing equipment. Chairman Gene Leggett said, ‘That’s the situation we’re trying to avoid. When major replacements are required, we have to be able to fund them. It’s conceivable the federal government will get its house in order so that grant money will again .be available.” He said that if such money were not available the authority would have to borrow money and that would mean much higher fees for the people of Sperryville at that time. “We’d be irresponsible not to try to avoid that.” Mr. Estes said he was paying for three EDUs, “and I hate that.” He said he had not favored the sewer system when it was proposed but had voted for it because his constituents wanted it. He noted that the authority has the power to use the property of the people in the sewer district as collateral for a loan. “I’d be doing a disservice not to support an increase,” he said. “I’d hate to think I sat on this board in 1991 and 15 years later the plant is a disaster and we’re out there on our own.” He said for this past year the authority had to use interest income to meet expenses. Member Carson Johnson, who opposed the rate increase, said the income has been paying for capital improvements to the plant and parts of it are new. He said about one third of the people hooked into the system don’t need it. “A lot of people have come to me since we put out the notice and said we can’t afford any more,” he said. “Some said if it is going to keep going up, I’m going to have to get out. I just can’t afford it.” Mr. Johnson said he and several other people had working septic tanks but joined the system to help the people in the flood plain who did have to join. “Without these people, we would really be hand up,” he said. Christine Johnston said, “People are reluctant to hood on as long as the rates continue to rise. With the economy what it is, it’s a bad time to raise rates.” Mr. Swindler said, “Our choices are to keep the rate what it is and pay operating costs and no more and keep everybody happy for the short term and take the chance that in 15 or 20 years the federal government will have grant money or in 15 or 20 years have to float a bond and offer as security the users’ property. I think the best option is the 10 percent increase.” Mrs. Johnston asked if the increase could bo postponed for a year or two until the economy improves. “It can,” Mr. Leggett said. “In my opinion we have postposed it too long already.” Mr. Swindler’s motion to approve the increase passed 3 to 1 with Mr. Johnson voting against it. Educators' conference set Registration is due Oct. 18 for the Rappahannock Educators’ Conference, 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Nov. 16 at Rappahannock High.

Va. Senate Continued from page A-1 cal composite index,” a figure which is supposed to reflect the locality’s wealth. Because the state’s estimate of the cost of funding schools is considerably less than most localities spend on schools, there remains a' large disparity between the wealthiest and poorest school districts in such measures as the amount spent per pupil, the average teacher’s salary, and the number of course offerings. Sen. Michie said, “I favor biting the bullet and doing what needs to be done tP address the issue of disparity.” He said he would oppose cutting funding for the wealthiest counties and would favor a tax increase to raise more funds for poorer localities. He suggested an increase to the top income tax bracket as the best solution to the problem. Mr. Robb said he favors a, voucher system. Under this system each student would be entitled to a voucher which could be used at any accredited school, public or private, his parent chose. Mr. Robb estimated that the voucher could be under $3,000 per student. “It shouldn’t .cost that much to educate a student,” Mr. Robb said. He said he expected savings to come in the forih of reducing the “incredible bureaucracy in Richmond.” Under Mr. Robb’s proposal the only function of the State Department of Education would be accrediting schools. Few schools in Virginia, public or private, cost less than $3,000 per student. This year Rappahannock is spending more than $4,600 per student for its public schools. Tuition at Wakefield Country Day School is $4,500 to $4,750 depending on grade per student and the school supplements this with extensive fund raising. Mr. Robb said he would favor allowing localities to have elected ROGER CORDANI FOR SHERIFF OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTV „ Deadline for Voter 8egTstration~OctODer 5th Paid Advertisement and Authorized by: Cordani for Sheriff Campaign Committee Keith Lamm - Treasurer. ALL RAPPAHANNOCK VOTERS ARE INVITED TO COME TO: Washington, Virginia Fire Hall 2 PM Saturday, Oct 5 Short Meeting • No Charge • Refreshments Authorized by: C.H. Chrisman, Treasurer, Rappahannock County Republican Party school boards. Sen. Michie said he opposes elected school boards unless they have taxing powers. He said in states where there are elected school boards, members are elected on such “emotional issues” as prayer in schools and sex education. On handling the state’s budget crisis, Sen. Michie believes while it may be possible to cut some waste, most things have already been cut. He said unless the economy improves he would favor incresing the tax on cigarettes from the current two and a half cents to 20 cents per pack. Sen. Michie said this would bring in an increased $80 million, which could fund a 1 percent raise for state employees and teachers. Sen. Michie said at 20 cents, Virginia’s cigarette tax would be lower than most states’. Mr. Robb said he will announce a plan to deal with the budget problem later in the campaign. He said he does not believe Sen. Michie’s cigarette tax would bring in as much revenue as Sen. Michie claims. “I don’t want to raise any taxes until we’ve squeezed the last drop of efficiency out of state government,” Mr. Robb said. He said he has found that state employees are under a “gag order” not to discuss the operations of their departments with him or even with imcumbents. He said he w'ould lift the gag order on state employees and “let them help save tax dollars by providing legislators with money saving ideas.” Mr. Robb has spent much of the campaign attacking Sen. Michie’s record on his votes on crime bills. Sen. Michie has generally opposed bills to expand the death penalty and bills that require mandatory sentences. He said he that the rate of serious crime in Virginia has remained stable for the last 16 years. During those years the General Assembly has been approving bills that require “more and more longer years of incarceration.” Sen. Michie said these laws “take away the flexibility of the court system, putting people in prison for longer than is useful and driving up the cost for taxpayers.” He said the money would be “more wisely used for training and education.” “If you talk to sophisticated law people, they will tell you that longer sentences are not the answer to the drug problem, but it’s a political answer,” Sen. Michie said. Mr. Robb said he will release a “revolutionary plan” to deal with the drug and crime problem later this month. He said his experience in the FBI has made him “one of the experts in the state on these problems.” On the drug problem Sen. Michie said, “If I could solve the drug problem, I’d run for governor. I don’t know if my oppponent has a solution or not, but I’m not going to the voters and say I can solve the drug problem.” On abortion Sen. Michie is “Prochoice.” He said, “I favor leaving the law the way it is.” Mr. Robb said, “I am not Pro-life or Pro-choice; I am pro-responsibility.” Mr. Robb added, “Abortion shouldn’t be used as a method of birth control because people are not responsible, but I would not agree to a law to outlaw abortion.” Mr. Robb said he would favor a law to require that a parent be notified when a woman under 18 is having an abortion. He said he would allow the court to appoint someone else to substitute for the parent, but pregnancy or abortion is “a critical incident in a person’s life, and a child needs to have help or counsel. If a parent can’t deal with it, society needs to provide someone for counseling.” Sen. Michie said he favors a “bottle bill” to require deposits cnr bottles and cans. “It works in a lot of states,” he said. He said he believes a bottle bill would “save the taxpayers’ money” by increasing the life of landfills. He noted that Mr. Robb had received campaign contributions from beer and soft drink distributors. Mr. Robb said he is opposed to “bottle bills.” He said that such a bill would be “too cumbersome” for businesses and reusing bottles “is not hygienically sound.” Instead, he said he favors recycling, and said localities should be able to “use minimum security prisoners” to sort through trash and recover recyclables. Both candidates favor allowing transferable development rights and greater freedom for localities generally in land use decisions. Both candidates oppose asking localities to pick up a higher percentage of the costs of constitutional officers. Sen. Michie favors giving counties the same authority to enact taxes that cities have. Mr. Robb said he opposes that because “cities have different problems.” Mr. Robb’s campaign manager said he did not know of any endorsements his candidate has received but he expected the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police. Sen. Michie has been endorsed by the political action committees of the Virginia Education Association and the Charlottesville and Albemarle education associations and the local chapter of the Sierra Club.

Eagle decision reversed va. House TOUJn BZA overturns McC2cirth.y Continued from page A-1 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer The Town of Washington’s Board of Zoning Appeals voted to overturn Zoning Administrator John McCarthy’s decision to allow Fredette Eagle to build a studio on a nonconforming lot. The studio Mrs. Eagle proposed to build was essentially the same building she had earlier applied to the BZA to build as a residence. When Mrs. Eagle applied to the BZA for a variance to build the residence, her application was denied on the basis that it would have been a more intense use of the property than the fallen-down shed currently on the property. It was to have been a two-story log building with a shed addition. Mrs. Eagle had altered her plans by eliminating the kitchen and by eliminating bathing facilites from the bathroom. Based on those alterations Mr. McCarthy issued an opinion that Mrs. Eagle was entitled to build the studio as an accessory building to her dwelling across Wheeler Street from the proposed studio. Diane Bruce, who owns the Rabbit Gum, a house across the stub end of Gay Street from the proposed studio, appealed to the BZA to overturn Mr. McCarthy’s decision. The lot is very small and the shed on it takes up almost all of the lot leaving little or no setbacks from the lot lines or from Wheeler Street. The proposed studio would have covered most of the same area but would have been taller. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds advised the BZA members that they would have to determine whether an accessory building could be on a sep arate lot from the main building and whichever way that decision went, they would also have t» decide if “the building there [can] be enlarged to become what’s planned. ” Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, representing Mrs. Eagle, who was not present at the Tuesday night meeting, said that the town’s zoning ordinance did provide for enlarging a non-conforming structure if the addition complied with the zoning ordinance. Town BZA member Charlie Eldred said the intent of the ordinance was not to increase its “nonconformity. If you increase the volume of this building, you are increasing the violation of the setback upward.” Chairman Peter Skowronski agreed, saying, “You intrude on your neighbor more the higher your structure goes.” Mr. Eldred suggested a higher building could be approved if it were made smaller in other dimensions so the overall cubic volume was not increased. Member Mitzi Young said, “It seems to me this lady is wanting to have her cake and eat it too. She hasn’t changed it at all except to temporarily remove some plumbing.” “Isn’t that speculative?” Mr. Baumgardner asked. Mr. Eldred said, “The building that stands presently is no accessory building. It is the main building as far as that lot is concerned, however, it is a lot designed for accessory uses.” Mr. Eldred’s motion to overturn Mr. McCarthy’s decision passed unanimously. County zoning board passes McBride's shop By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals voted to approve a special use permit for Scott McBride to operate a carpentry shop in an outbuilding at his home in Sperryville. At last Wednesday’s BZA meeting Mr. McBride agreed to restrict his hours of operation to 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, not to use power equipment on weekends except for his own personal use and to limit that to 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. The BZA also approved Mr. McBride’s sign. They also required that the special use permit not transfer if the property is sold. Neighbors Roy E. Jenkins and his wife appeared at the hearing. When the Planning Commission considered the application the Jenkinses were not present. The planners voted to recommend that the shop not be operated after 10 p.m. Mr. Jenkins said he gets up very early in the morning and would not get enough sleep if the machinery next door was going until 10 at AA MEETS The Rappahannock chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous meets at 8:30 p.m. every Thursday at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington.

According to Wall Street analysts. Real Estate has outperformed Inflation, long-term government bonds and treasury bills over the last 25 years. During that period, inflation has increased at an annual rate of 6%. long term government bonds - 6.2%, and treasury bills • 6.9%. Single family homes topped all of them with an annual compounded growth of 7%. Only common stock yielded a slightly higher return than housing. However, the volatility and higher risk of common stock explains the relatively higher return. If you're not careful, you can get hurt In the stock market. Take 'Black Monday,' for example. Investment potential has become a stronger motive for buying a single family home In mstjor metropolitan markets where home prices have been rising more rapidly.

Mr. McBride agreed to the shorter hours. Mr. McBride also agreed to work with Mr. Jenkins in placing his sign so it does not restrict Mr. Jenkins view when he pulls out of his driveway. “It sounds like everybody is being reasonable,” BZA Chairman Butch Zindel said. “It’s nice to see everybody talking and working things out,” Piedmont representative James E. Swindler Jr. said. Mr. Swindler’s motion to approve the application with the agreed restrictions passed unanimously. impact fees are the best way to make exactions,” he said, adding he would support last year’s impact-fee bills that Del. Linda Rollins withdrew upon request of the Fauquier Board of Supervisors. By the time the impact fee system is in place, two or three years from now, the recession will be over anyway, he said. Asked what he has done in the land-use fight in Fauquier, Mr. Wood said one picks and chooses one’s issues, and that hasn’t been one of his. “My position has always been planned growth in the service districts with services,” said Mr. Wood. In Fauquier County growth is supposed to be directed into service districts, but in most of them there is little or no sewer and water capacity. While campaigning m Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren, said Mr. Wood, “I’m hearing people are very concerned with the environment, land use, putting land into agricultural, forestal districts. They’re very concerned there may be some abuses in roll-back (land-use),taxes." “I’m for impact fees period. Not in good times, not in bad times. Period,” said Mr. Wood. He said he also supports transferable development rights, local option taxes, mass transit and opposes a Western Bypass. Mr. Wood responded to Mr. Darby’s charge last week that, if Mr. Wood is elected, “the only choice Jerry will have is when (Democratic Majority Leader) Tom Moss tells him how to vote, which hand he will hold up.” “I am my own man. I have been a party player in a lot of elections,” Mr. Wood said. “Mr. Darby’s credentials in the Republican Party are only about two months old.” “I have my own mind and I vote my own mind. Nobody is going to tell me how to vote,” said Mr. Wood. The Wood campaign this week announced endorsements by the Realtors’ Political Action Committee and the formation of “Conservationists for Wood.” Conservationists for Wood consists of Marie Ridder, Dudley Registration ends The final session to register for those interested in voting in the Nov. 5 General Election will take place from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5.

Mr. Wood has also been endorsed by the Virginia Education Assocation, the state teachers’ union, which has said it intends to contribute money to his campaign. Also this week, Mr. Darby attacked a survey conducted by the Wood campaign by the D.C. firm David Petts Associates, saying it distorts his positions by the way it phrases questions. Albert Pollard, Mr. Wood’s fulltime campaign worker, said the survey was intended for internal use by the campaign and the results would not be made public. “I don’t know why Mr. Darby is objecting. We didn’t ask any personality questions or anything in relation to negative campaigning. ” Mr. Pollard said the purpose of the survey “is to find out where we are and where we want to be.” He refused to release the questions that FAT CATTLE tstTues., 1 p.m. Every Month In addition to our regular sales on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle Sale •Consignments Welcome.

Hazel has donated $1,000 to Mr. Darby’s campaign.) “It’s clear,” said Mr. Darby, “Mr. Wood has no interest in discussing real issues, such as getting control of the budget, and putting education back at the top of the list of priorities. I am confident that, the voters of the 31st District will see through this charade. And I call upon Mr. Wood, who has stated on several occasions he would never resort to negative campaigning, to clean up his act.” Mr. Wood’s campaign could not be reached for comment. Darby makes White House visit Bob Darby, the Republican candidate for the House of Delegates, 31st District, joined other Virginia Republican candidates at the White House on Friday, Sept. 27, for a conference on America 2000, which is President Bush’s long-term strategy to achieve educational excellence by the year 2000. The conference highlighted the substance of the president’s strategy and the progress that states and localities are making toward America 2000 goals. Mr. Darby said that two key elements of the president’s strategy are at the center of his plan for the Fauquier, Warren, and Rappahannock school systems: the establishment of standards of knowledge in five core subjects (English, mathematics, science, history, geography), and development of achievement tests that will show how well students are meeting the standards. Twenty-five states, including Maprland, but not including Virginia, have responded to the president’s call for a commitment to America 2000. “I am disappointed that our governor has not made the commitment for Virginia, because I think the Commonwealth should be taking a leadership role,” Mr. Darby said. If elected, he has said he will seek membership on the House Education Committee and pursue his plans for improving our public schools. Do you agree, or disagree?

Harvest varies with location this year By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The drop of rain that fell on Rappahannock last week was a classic case of too little, too late. “It’s extremely dry here,” according to local grower of vegetables, fruits and orchard keeper Manfred Call. The water table is low, the ground is parched and burned and cracks in the soil have broken the hard surface, leaving gaping holes one-half to three-quarters inches wide in some fields. “We were holding our own the first couple months of the year,” lopal weather watcher Dennis Wingfield said, adding: “after that, it has gone straight down hill.” His Sperryville weather station has faithfiilly recorded daily precipitation amounts, high and low temperatures and weather abnormalities for several decades. Summer showers have a tendency to be scattered, leaving one area with large amounts of rainfall and barely touching another. This year, that statement has proven itself true. Although rain came to the streets of Sperryville, areas such as Amiss vme and Mint Hill remained dry. When water poured in Huntly, Washington yards went untouched. When rain streamed down the hill in Boston or Woodville, Washington and Flint Hill felt nothing. “We just can’t figure out what that jet stream is doing,” Mr. Wingfield said, adding recently television news has called for severe storm watches promising several inches of rain in the Rappahannock County area though few, if any, raindrops were recorded in reality. “And, it doesn’t look like we are getting any more rain in September,” he said of his figures. In the last 60 days, his rain gauge has measured just 2.26 inches of rain—1.18 inches in August and 1.08 inches in September. For the same two months last year, Mr. Wingfield recorded 8.40 inches of rainfall—4.77 in August and 3.63 in September. The normal average for the two months is 7.62 inches with August being a wetter month, offering 4.40 inches of rainfall and September being a drier month bearing only 3.22 inches. Rainfall was low this year from May on through the summer. Shop Equipment, Tractor, Truck Auction By Don P.

For those same nine months in 1991, the measurement is only 29.12. Mr. Wingfield measured 24.18 inches of rainfall last year between May and Spetember with July being the wettest month, measuring a whopping 7.09 inches of rainfall. This year, the same months have tallied only 14.58 inches of rain with the wettest month being June, when 5.14 inches of rain fell in Sperryville. Though June was the wettest month, late days in May and into June the temperatures rose well into the 90s, burning off any excess water. Mr. Wingfield recorded eight days when temperatures reached 90 degrees or above for the months June to August—with no days in September in the 90s in 1990. This year, that figure more than doubled. May 1991 was one of the hottest Mays on recorded. June tallied five days with temperatures 90 or above, July chalked up another nine, August added 10 to the total and September chipped in two. Since the first of June, Mr. Wingfield has recorded 26 days when temperatures have pushed the mercury to 90 or above. “With all the heat, the constant breeze and the lack of rain, it’s no wonder the ground is cracked open in the backyard,” Mr. Wingfield said with disgust. “We got a little bit of rain” early last week, Mr. Call added with a bit of the same disgust ringing in his voice, “but, it was a little bit too late.” His Muskrat Haven Farms in Amissville is just one of the many farms in Rappahannock County that has taken the heat, dry weather and continual stirring of air over the past few months. The Call farm, like other farms, has suffered. “The last two months have been really doggone dry,” he said, adding without his extensive irrigation system, many things would not have been “kept alive.” “With the irrigation, I’ve done fairly well,” he said, adding he has seen many who normally harvest their own peppers and tomatoes purchasing his produce. Irrigation helped Ivan Hall at Sperryville Farms survive the dry heat too, though, unlike other years, his spring feed irrigation started to dry in the past few weeks. “I water my flowers from the spring,” he said, explaining this year he was forced “to shut-down for a few hours” several times due to lack of pressure. “It’s never gone dry before,” he said, adding while he doesn’t feel he is using more water this year, the water supply has diminished. “We are doing pretty good up this way,” he said of his home and farm area in Old Hollow. “We are not totally scorched out like some places,” he said, adding his part of Sperryville has benefitted from several rainshowers that did not hit other areas of Rappahannock. Orchardist Jerry Jenkins in Woodville feels he has “gotten enough rain to get by on” this summer though hot days kept his workers from the peach harvest several afternoons, his apples are “very good size.” With 15 to 18 varieties, Mr. Jenkins’ orchard plans to have apples until Christmas. “There are apples and they are sweet,” said agriculture Extension agent Tommy Williams. He said heat has helped to make apples of “high quality. They may be a little smaller, though in some areas they are a little larger, but they are sweet.” Apples—whether pick-your-own or picked—can be found throughout the county. Apple orchards like Foster’s in Flint Hill, Streapy’s in Huntly, Lee’s in Washington, Jenkins’ in Woodville and Sharp’s in Sperryville (besides the above-mentioned) offer wide variety. Mr. Williams said a crop of this caliber has not been measured in three or four years. “The apples are so thick, it pulled some of drawf apple trees right over,” Mr. Call said. While the hot, dry weather has produced apples with a sweet taste, the same weather has affected other crops with a more negative impact. Muskrat Haven Farms’ huge jack-o-lantem pumpkins, which usually weigh between 80 and 90 pounds, tip the scales at only 40-50 pounds this year. “You can see the drought line in Huntly,” said Mr. Williams, explaining some areas, such Flint Hill, Amissville and parts of Sperryville and Washington, are very dry, while those south towards Boston and Madison County greener. There are two distinct cornfields on either side of 522 in Huntly, said Mr. Williams. One field of com has taller, greener, healthier com while on the opposite side of the road the crop is smaller and not as healthy. Ridge View features functional design, view. 'Ridge View' home is on this year's tour The 35th annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale, sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish, will be held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20, in historic Washington, Va. The three houses selected for this year’s tour will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Headquarters for the event will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. The Parish Hall will also serve as sales room for the hundreds of dried flower arrangements prepared by ladies of Trinity Church and others in the community. The first of the tour houses is Ridge View, the home of William and Isabelle Remington, outside Flint Hill off Route 630. Situated on a slight ridge and facing west, it overlooks a small valley and has a magnificent view of The Peak and the Blue Ridge Mountains. This lovely, bright and airy contemporary cedar-sided home was built by the Remingtons in 1986 and 1987, as Bill Remington says, “from the inside out—form follows function.” They considered their desires and needs as to room number and size, purpose and arrangement and encased these in 2-by-6 studded walls with large expanses of glass and the whole covered with a widely overhanging hip roof reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie house. From the entrance foyer the large, combination living/dining room is straight ahead, on its far wall a large fireplace and from all the windows are views of the /nountains. Above the non-existent room division is a large wooden truss supporting the hip roof and the high cathedral ceiling. Also from the foyer, up the natural blond oak bannistered staircase, are two guest rooms and a sitting area, the latter open and overlooking the living room. To the left of the dining room is a large, light kitchen,, two walls of which look out on a wide, deep partially covered deck, a pond in the valley and again, the mountains. Beyond the kitchen is the master suite with its own screened outdoor living room and to the left of the former, that is, at the front of the house, a family room/study. The basement provides further guest quarters by way of a “dormitory” plus workroom and extensive storage. The architect for Ridge View was John Way of Montclair, N.J.; builder, J.D. Eicher, Warrenton; and site planner, Fanning Baumgardner, Washington, Va. (Editor’s note: The other two homes in the tour will be the subject of articles in the coming weeks.) 3 _ Drama 1.20P-"1' ££&•iZSvX*™*s““ ’ «***>'in1 .°00' $500 chances. ^ adverture « *; * : ^ >,>**.., *.£ v v --***' f' vCX-v">-1; • wo^SSSX.rSS”^ _ nras; 1 10 >u'vv . :u*./%n< •“', '4>4 f!t ' y*. *s ;■» :*■; K*»4*SRii|iiv ? v • -s' ,* “ 4 -'V ,v.j ;<■ ■"** '*■ v^; - Thriller The ^/^esdays fe/.' , y^

i .» Journal Classified Real estate Roundabout Norris exhibits at Middle St. This month's exhibit at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington, Va. is "Wildlife Sculpture" by gallery member Maggi Morris of Castleton. Also in the show are selected paintings by David Zimmerman and group sculptures by Rappahannock children. The opening reception for the show is 4 pjn.-7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 at the gallery in Washington, Va. One of Mr. Zimmerman's paintings will be auctioned off at 6 p.m. during the reception. Proceeds will benefit the gallery. Attending the opening will be Edik Gladkov, a four-year honorary gallery member. Mr. Gladkov's photos were handdelivered through underground channels when he first began exhibiting at Middle Street. A recent Corcoran show of Russian photography included some of his work, and his documentation of "Poverty in Russia" accompanied a Washington Post series this summer. He was introduced to Middle Street through Robin Purnell, a Rappahannock artist who currently lives in Leningrad. Her husband, John, is stationed there with the U.S. Department of State. Mr. Gladkov will visit the public schools, where a small exhibition of his work is planned.

The leaves are starting to color the mountainsides of Rappahannock. With them come the annual Sperryville Apple Harvest Festival this Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5-6. And for the next six weeks those lucky enough to make it to Rappahannock can see the countryside at its most charming. For many who make the jouniey from surrounding counties, Northern Virginia, Maryland or D.C., a day in the countryside during fall offers the chance to enjoy the fresh air, quaint villages and community atmosphere sometimes unfamiliar in their homeplace. This weekend’s Sperryville Business Council-sponsored festival offers a multitude of adventures for anyone willing to spare the hours and browse, shop or just socialize. For those not interested in buying, the afternoon in town charges no entrance fee, costs nothing to park and provides entertainment such as live folk music, basket weaving, apple butter boiling and the fall scenery. Sperryville has long been a regular for Virginia’s tourists. Although U.S. 211’s position between Route 55 north and Route 33 down south has meant more in the past as an east-west route than it does today (now Interstate 66 is used), the opening to Shenandoah National Park borders Sperryville, so legions of visitors come every October and November to see the leaves turn in the park. The area’s many apple orchards have naturally led many people out this way to pick their own fresh apples and purchase some freshly pressed apple cider. This weekend the Sperryville Business Council sponsors the Apple Harvest Weekend, kicking off the fall season. Rappahannock News Staff PhottVCindy Mahan Elmer Jenkins and granddaughter Bethany Conners with bathtubs at Elmer’s. In addition to shopping and the apples, the weekend also features live music, including acoustic folk at the Woodsmoke Cafe Friday and Saturday lights. Also, there will be all-day music next to Faith Mountain both days. On Saturday the Hazel River Band plays bluegrass from noon-2 p.m., the 522 Band performs bluegrass from 2 p.m.-3 p.m. and Roger Henderson and Chad Lash play acoustic folk and country from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. On Sunday, Henderson and Lash play from noon-2 p.m. and the Hazel River Band returns to the stage from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. Rappahannock’s own folk music legend John Jackson takes the stage at Country Home Antiques on Saturday for two sets, 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. (Rappahannock News staff reporter Lisa G. Currie visited Sperryville last weekend. Here’s what she found:) Whether it’s a gift for yourself, your mother, your spouse or your endless Christmas list, Sperryville’s wide range of shops, crafts, crafters and antiques may be a one-stop shopping adventure. Maybe you’re just looking for a gigantic mumfound at Sperryville Farms an array of colors and blooms that could stock a large greenhouse. Perhaps you’re looking for a bushel of apples, pears or fresh preserves; a wooden rocker for the porch; an egg basket or Christmas ornaments. Maybe you should start with a map. Personally, I started at the top and took my time wandering through the shops as they fell into order along U.S. 211, west to east. All along the way I found roadside stands, shops and plenty of entertainment. The Swindler family’s gift shop and restaurant, Country Manor, sits snug against the mountainside. It’s a fine place to start the day with a cool drink enjoyed in the sun on the deck, watching passers venture along the road to Skyline Drive, nine miles west. After a drink, I walked through the store from one corner to the next and inspect the tremendous variety oi gifts the shop has to offer, everything from pottery ol style and distinction to wooden or woven items. This weekend prices have been marked down on many items in the store. The stop at Country Manor could give you the opportunity to find a really unique gift for a very moderate price. A fine quiche dish or woven placemats may make a nice gift for the mother with everything. Noah’s Ark is popular for children and adults. Detailed Christmas tree ornaments in a variety of styles and color are an excellent value and a wonderful gift. Before you leave, take a few minutes to watch Old Hollow’s Roy Pullen perform apple-butter boiling or watch demonstrations of basket weaving—two family activites enjoyed by both children and adults. My next stop east was Parkway Gift Shop, and inside I found a variety of gift ideas: comic souvenirs, chairs, outdoor sculpture and jars of homemade jams or jellies. Next, at Elmer’s Antiques, I picked up some decorating ideas and checked out the fine selection of antique furniture, all at 10 percent off. In the village of Sperryville at this point, I noted how happy I was that I put on good walking shoes and planned for detours and unexpected but pleasant distractions. My first stop there was Woodsmoke Cafe—warning, the barbeque aroma may entice you to buy, either for eating along the street or for taking home for later. Next I wandered a few paces to County Home Antiques. This weekend that’s where you can find a hay bale to sit upon while to listening to the sweet blues of John Jackson, Rappahannock’s own world-famous blues singer. Mr. Jackson’s blues and folk music—two shows at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Oct. 5—is sponored by Country Home Antiques. The seventh son of Rappahannock’s Suttee and Hattie Jackson, Mr. Jackson’s life has taken him down many roads, such as that of gravedigger, butler, farmer, 1 chauffeur and musician. Winner of the 1986 National Heritage Award for the National Endowment of the Arts, he has taken his love for the Blue Ridge Mountains and his musical talent to over 60 nations worldwide. During intermission or after the concert, wander into Country Home Antiques. In addition to antiques of style and quality, the store offers fresh Amish breads and pastries. Fresh bread with freshly made applebutter— brewed on the lawn—could make an elder friend or family member smile with delight. The pastries make a nice addition to any breakfast table—whether for special or for just another morning on the run. For a bit of culture or just a minute to browse, visit Southern Drawl Artworks, the tiny one-room gallery located across from Country Home Antiques. Fine art is in style and no where else in the county is the tremendous choice available. Well-known limited editions from the best galleries can be purchased, framed and unframed. Several pieces from local artists—around the county or area—can be seen or purchased. Outside local artist Tanya Richey, director of her own Windflower Fine Art Gallery in Washington, Va., will visit this weekend, as well as Luray artist Gary Saylor and caricaturist Peter Scott. Just down the road from County Home Antiques, Faith Mountain Company is bulging at the seams with ideas and items. Faith Mountain Company offers a variety of potpourri and scented candles as well as naturally made pasta and fine jewelry. In the discount room out back the prices are slashed on close-out items and out-of-season pieces. Unique flower vases and pieces of pottery await the perfect home. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Ruth Wyrick of West Virginia shops for baskets at Parkway Gift Shop. Wander into the yard for entertainment and something to wet the whistle. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community offers hot cider for the kids, beer for the adults and popcorn for those who need a nibble. Across the drive is the Church Mouse. The Church Mouse, located inside an old church, is filled with craft items from around the country, not just around' the county. Schoolhouse Toys last longer than the children that play with them and the selection at The Church Mouse is varied. Ducks and geese and seasonal items fill the church with color and fragrance. If you know someone who enjoys crafts of different orders, pick up a few items to help them create. Owners Judy and John Twill offer a variety of craft essentials, one of the few places to buy not just the craft but the supplies to make your own. Leaving The Church Mouse I crossed the bridge into That Sperryville Emporium where the children can expend some excess energy participating in the parking lot games and parents and adults can eiyoy apple butter boiling, live entertainment and crafters from around the area displaying their goods. If the sun has warmed the afternoon, take the walk down to the Sperryville Antique Market. If you haven’t been to the market recently, it’s worth another trip. If you’re looking for antique jewelry, check the display case. Heavy brochues, large dangling earrings, men’s rings or belt buckles fill the case. The prices are reasonable, the variety tremendous. Maybe you’re looking for a toy for that not-so-little boy. A collector’s train set or tractor might do. An antique doll buggy or a solid wood table and chair set could make a little girl feel just like mom. Besides fine antiques like period lamps, desks, mirrors, linens, quilts, china closets and other furniture of variety, That Sperryville Emporium offers a wide variety of glasswear from various periods, china or fine place Bettings from a different era, and just unique glasswear for any table or collector. Look carefully before you leave to enjoy the vast selection of prints from various times and locations on display

A fall favorite — apple pie By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer One sure sign of fall is the baskets of apples at the roadside fruit stands. I’m sure every cook or chef has a favorite version of apple pie. The purists would probably say that the classic apple pie contains only apples, sugar, flour, and spices plus the pastry. There are other variations that add sour cream, raisins, chocolate chips, cranberries, or other fruits. Tart apples like Granny Smith, Rome, Winesap, and Yorks are best for baking. One pound equals three medium apples which yield three cups diced. Allow two pounds (6-8 apples) for a 9 inch pie. Store apples in a ventilated plastic bag or hydrator drawer to prevent absorbing other food flavors. The following recipes for apple pies are from some really good cooks in Rappahannock County. Try them and enjoy apple pie season! HOME ECONOMICS Classic apple pie (Maybelle Gilkey) 5-7 tart apples 1 cup sugar 2 Tbsp. flour Dash salt 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1 recipe plain pastry 2 Tbsp. margarine Pare apples, slice thin.
