Frame bums, leaves four homeless By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer A mid-day structure fire ripped through a twostory frame house in Washington Monday, destroying a family home and leaving four homeless. According to Washington Fire Company Chief Roger Roach, the fire fn Leonard and Frances Campbell’s U.S. 211-522 home next to the Hampton Inn may have been caused by an electrical problem. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were home, outside, at the time the blaze started, about 12:30 p.m., said Chief Roach. ^ “The owner was in the yard when he heard a pop. He went up to the front door to get out a purse with $500 and he couldn’t get in,” said Chief Roach. By the time firefighters arrived on the scene the fire had spread throughout the house. Chief Roach estimated that it only took 10 minutes from ignition before the house was completely engulfed. Water from Gibson Wharton’s pond, about 100 yards away, See HOUSE FIRE, p.

The council passed the system, but asked owners Patrick Foster and Camille Harris to agree to hook up to a centralized town septate oyatem, when and if such a system isinstalled by thALyrn. j The council also r&qtMBW regular maintenance be performed and designed the special" use permit to expire in five years if the package plant is not installed by that time. The system must also be screened from the road and from the sight of adjoining property owners. Ms. Harris said the request was “a last resort,” and asked that the council permit the installation of a better system if technology improves before the approved system is installed.

A-7 Four-laning of U.S. 211-522 about to start w v. .!■ By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Work should get under way in about a month on four-laning the next section of U.S. 211-522 from the edge of Washington to the Covington River bridge at Gid Brown Hollow. Robert Moore, resident engineer with the Virginia Department of Transportation, said VDOT accepted a bid of $1.99 million from L.F. Franklin and Sons of the Winchester area. He said the firm had done other work for the highway department on Interstate 66 in Fauquier County. Mr. Moore said a groundbreaking is scheduled for the week of Nov. 18, but equipment may be moved on to the site earlier. The contract is for 240 days, but may be extended because of bad weather. Mr. Moore said he expected the work to be completed by next summer or fall. The highway department is scheduled to be taking bids for the next section, from the Covington River to the edge of Sperryville, next summer, with that project also expected to last about a year. The contaminated soil at the former B&B Service Center has not yet been dealt with, Mr. Moore said. The construction firm will work around that area for a time. Mr. Moore said an area had been marked off and dirt in that area must be dug up to a depth of three feet. He said the oil firm responsible for the clean-up has not yet decided whether to treat the contaminated dirt on the site or to remove it. Mr. Moore said the construction project will be done in a way to minimize interference with traffic on the existing road. He said traffic will occasionally be stopped to allow construction equipment to cross the road, and traffic may be slowed where the new road is close to the present road. Dribbling s, £jj, Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy fvllihan ’ Adam Kerr, with the ban, competes in the Rappahannock Soccer League Saturday, I\ Haynes, Miller vie for seat from 26th District in Senate By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Two-term incumbent Sen, Kevin Miller, the Harrisonburg Republican who represents 26th District in the Virginia Senate, is running against a political novice who has made his record the focal point of her campaign. “I don’t think he gives much attention to any of the geographic area he represents,” says Margaret Haynes, a Democrat and constituent aide to 5th District U.S. Rep. Jim Olin, D-Va. “I repeatedly hear in the last six or eight weeks, I’ve been (east of the Blue Ridge) more than he has in eight years.” Asked to list specific accomplishments he has achieved for Rappahannock or Fauquier counties, Sen. Miller admitted it was “hard to recall things specific to Rappahannock and Fauquier.” Giving it some thought, he said he helped retire some school buses and introduced legislation that limited liability for private landowners who allow public events to be held on their property. “Since I retired from JMU (where he taught accounting), I spend much more time east of the Blue Ridge than this side,” said Sen. Miller, who said county adminstrators would be able to confirm “I have been there all the time." Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said Sen. Miller did help the county school system phase-out, rather than immedi Political opponents Margaret Haynes and Kevin Miller reside within boundaries of the same Harrisonburg precinct. ately retire, some vans that had been used. He also cited the senator’s assistance in getting the county the authority to require water testing for larger subdivisions. Mr. McCarthy added, however, that the bulk of Sen. Miller’s attention tended to be focused in the Harrisonburg area*.“-where the largest percentage of his constituents are.” Ms. Haynes called him “ineffective and out of touch with his constituents.” Another controversial election is sue has been the senator’s ranking near the bottom of an effectiveness poll performed every year by a Norfolk daily paper. Sen. Miller called the poll slanted against Republicans—although Warren County Del. Andy Guest and Shenandoah County Del. Clinton Miller (Kevin Miller’s brother and a potential gubernatorial candidate) score well in the poll. On the issue of the state budget, See SENATE SEAT, p. A-5

Drop-out war entails variety of methods for coordinator By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer They call her “Mom.” And, in many ways Susan Fox, Rappahannock County High School drop-out prevention coordinator, is like a “mom” to many students. “I call it mothering,” Mrs. Fox described her position, a quick smile lighting up her eyes. Four years ago, the Fox family moved to Rappahannock County from Northern Virginia. “One thing just evolved into another,” Mrs. Fox said of her job. A former fifth-grade teacher and mother of three, Mrs. Fox subsisted in Fauquier County for one year before filling a position funded through a grant that brought in volunteers to help with remedial math and reading programs in Rappahannock County Schools. The next year, she was offered the part-time position as drop-out prevention coordinator. This job brought her into contact with older students with a need. “This part of the job I love,” she said with a smile. Her friendly disposition, motherly attitude and trusting way has helped to make her a familiar face in the high school corridors. Getting students to class, reminding procrastinators of deadlines, and acting as mediator of problem areas is all part of the job description. In flight between schools, taking children to .or from school, helping students find a job, and taking students to or from the clinic are all jobs that keep Mrs. Fox quite busy. No matter what the job, she performs it with a smile. That smile is often found darting in one high school door or through another—anywhere there is an empty and quiet space. She has no classroom or office space of her own. Her confidence is often asked in corridors or parking lots, and her attitude is always light. “I could not begin to tell you what I may be doing” on any given day, said Mrs. Fox, adding her schedule organizes itself when she arrives at school and discovers what awaits her for the day. Working with students who are a drop-out possibility or with students who need help dealing with teacherstudent problems, student-parent problems or student-student problems, Mrs. Fox said she does sometimes “mother the students.” “I’m the one that reminds them they have a test or that homework is due,” she said, adding sometimes job demands are just what she does with her own three children. Before this year, Mrs. Fox worked part-time at the school often working with seniors in after-school study groups lasting anywhere from 40 minutes to 90 minutes. “We have been there as late as 5 p.m.,” she said of her group, usually studying senior courses that require extra tutoring or helping with students who demonstrate a need. A new grant just made available through the state has made Mrs. Fox full-time. Working with guidance counselor Joyce Good-Ewing, Mrs. Fox works with Family Guidance in confidential situations where children can share problems, learn problem-solving and deal with stressful situations. As Operation Safe Haven coordinator, Mrs. Fox is allowed to take her “mothering” services from elementary school to graduates. Operation Safe Haven is a federally funded Drug-Free Schools grant. “I have seven groups in the high Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Lisa Cume Susan Fox is Operation Safe Haven coordinator, which is federally funded by the Drug-Free Schools program. 'But the reward is when someone tells you they did pass that test.' — Susan Fox Drop-out coordinator school and four groups in the elementary school,” she said with pride, adding the groups meet once a week on a rotating schedule so no class is missed more than once in a six-week period. “If I had this program where I wanted it, I would work With the real young kids. I would not have 19year-olds” with drop-out possibilities or academic problems, she said with determination. “It’s a great deal of information giving,” she said of her job requirements, adding she helps students confront teachers with problems, discovers answers to problems or helps teachers deal with students. When the program started, students found their way to Mrs. Fox’s “warm weather office—the picnic table” through referrals from teachers or administrators. After two years of being available, students now find their way to her on their own. “There can be a lot of sadness with this job,” she said, adding often she spends long hours on the telephone listening, helping. “But the reward is when someone tells you they did pass that test,” she said, adding she is one Re-Elect SENATOR KEVIN MILLER ...Right Where We Need Him.

I would appreciate the opportunity to return to the General Assembly of Virginia to continue to serve as your State Senator Kevin Miller Paid for by Kevin Miller for Senate. person in the school that does get thanked. “The end result is not depressing. Seeing that smile and hearing the good news is great,” she said. “I want to help them develop their goals,” she said, explaining sometimes students just need a sounding board, sometimes they need direction. She helps to place them in workstudy programs, equivalency-diploma classes if necessary or alternative education programs. Students have discovered that problems can be solved and goals can be reached if they pull on the right strings, including Mrs. Fox’s. “I can’t walfo down the hall without someone pwitfng my braid,” she said, flipping her long hair to one side. The tugs of friendship are so familiar she knows each one. “You get used to it and pretty soon you know who’s pulling just by the tug,” she said.

Merchants who offer discounts to Rappahannock County citizens over 60 will be listed in a directory given to each person who receives an identification card. Cards are made the first Tuesday of every month at the Rappahapnock-Rapidan Community Services Board, 401 S. Main St. in Culpeper. Photo sessions will also be scheduled in each county as the need arises. For information on the discount program, call Mrs. Reynolds at 703825-3100, 703-347-0440 or 703-6721717 or call Jeannie McNear at 6753329.

According to Rappahannock Elementary PTO Resource Committee Chairman Laurie Marshall, who generated the idea for the conference, by sharing ideas and innovations those interested in education can profit from the conference. “I feel one of the greatest resources we have is the intelligence that lies within our community, and the purpose of the conference is to share that intelligence for the benefit of the children,” said Ms. Marshall. Keynote speaker for the conference will be Dr. Marilyn Beck, president of Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown. Dr. Beck will speak for about a half-hour on “Creating Lifelong Learners for the 20th Century.” Conferees will then break into groups according to age level and type of* instruction (such as high school math, or elementary reading, etc.). Within the smaller groups two or three people will make presentations—those interested in being presenters can so specify on their registration forms. After the presentations, group discussion will take place. Each sub-group will have a secretary whose job it is to note major points of discussion, and the entire conference will reconvene in the li brary to share those notes. Conferees are encouraged to bring resourse materials they have found to be particularly innovative, interesting or effective. A display will be made of those books, projects and other materials. The conference ends at 12:30 p.m., said Ms. Marshall, but those attending will be welcome to stay and continue informal discussion. The Rappahannock Elementary PTO will provide refreshments. “Each of the different settings,” said Ms. Marshall, including smaller, homogenous private schools and large, diverse public classes, “generate unique ideas. By systematically sharing those ideas and exchanging information an idea that emerges from a very different situation may have use for another situation.” Participants are welcome to come and listen in, without taking an active role in the discussion, said Ms. Marshall, but those who desire to make a formal presentation are also welcome. Those attending should bring note-taking materials. Ms. Marshall said if participants so desire the conference may become a regular happening. Those interested in attending should. register through Raye Tupper, Laurie Marshall, Bethany Craig, Jon Heddleston, Tutt StappHarris, Margaret Lee, Beth Wellemeyer or Floy Bunning. | BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED !

MX The Audit ^Bureau THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1991 A hot topic What one courthouse pundit called this week “the hottest issue in the county right now” isn’t the November General Election, or even our 7-0 Washington Redskins. He was speaking, of course, of the property reassessments mailed out last week, and the seemingly endless line of those waiting their turn in front of the Board of Assessors to appeal. Judging from the irate looks of those going into the appeal room, and the even more irate looks of those coming out, the 1991 reassessment has managed to make very few property owners happy. Of course, about half of them are going to relax next year when they open their tax bills and see that their actual taxes went down slightly (fewer than half if the supervisors decide we need more tax revenue, but that’s a completely separate issue and should be considered as such). The other half will be even more incensed, as their tax bills will increase. Folks, that’s inevitable; |ind no reason to attack the Board of Assessors or the process itself. Now, there are arguments on both sides, one that says higher assessments are better, one that would keep them as low as possible. Let’s examine them. Lower assessments are beneficial to those planning their estates, and, of course, on an individual basis a lower assessment does, in fact, mean a lower tax bill. Some of the reason why property owners will appeal their assessments rests in that self-interest. There are also some quite compelling reasons why assessments should reflect property sales. The first of which was spelled out in this paper two weeks ago by Col. E.P. Luke, who has the thankless job of chairman of the Board of Assessors. The Commonwealth of Virginia monitors actual property sales, and if the sales-to-assessment ratio goes below 70 percent, the state withholds that county’s share of ABC profits and a percentage of the county’s Public Service Corporation tax revenues. During the past three years Rappahannock has been penalized a total of $36,000 because the 1988 assessment figures were less than 70 percent of actual home sales. Another reason why accurate, sales-driven assessments are better higher than lower is that homeowners use them to obtain home equity loans, and the assessments are usually a bottom figure when a sales price is negotiated. In the vast majority of cases (anecdotal evidence notwithstanding), the sales price is higher than the assessed price. Also, more accurate assessments provide land buyers with more precise information, and we would argue that’s always better. And those who improve their properties ought to pay taxes on those improvements, most all would agree. Clearly the downturn in the regional real estate market will be taking its toll on land sales, which have trickled off to become almost non-existent, but in fairness to the Board of Assessors, they can’t know what market conditions will be like during the next three years. They have to use conditions as they existed during the past three years, and the fact is that period saw higher prices in the county. Serving and protecting The Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company is in the midst of its annual fund drive, raising money that goes directly back into the community. When they are called upon, as sadly occurred this week, we know they will provide us with top-quality emergency service at great personal sacrifice to themselves. The rescue squad alone answered 266 calls last year, and 112 of the patients received advanced prehospital care—nine were recorded “saves,” or patients that probably would not have survived without the intervention of trained Washington Rescue Squad volunteers. The number of rescue calls represents a 133 percent increase since 1985. Volunteers expended more than 2,500 manhours, equivalent to 107 days and nights of a person’s life. Fund-raising letters have been sent to property owners in the Washington area. Tp contribute, write: The Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company, P.O. Box 238, Washington, Va. 22747. Or call: 675-3615. It’s a cause we can all agree on. The Rappahannock News endorses... Jerry Wood No one who meets Republican Bob Darby, candidate for the 31st District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates, can deny that he is a very impressive man. He is an asset to the county, with the energy and resources it takes to make a difference in this community. He deserves credit for the campaign he has run these past few months—all politicians would benefit from emulating his grace and intelligent approach to real issues. While we expect Mr. Darby will contribute much to Rappahannock in the coming years, his opponent, Democrat Jerry Wood, has a long record of working for the public good in this district. Mr. Wood’s 30-plus years in local business" politics and service clubs stand in marked contrast to Mr. Darby, who only recently came on the scene. That’s not the only edge Mr. Wood has on Mr. Darby. Mr. Wood has assembled a wide base of support; both Realtors and preservationists have endorsed him, as well as the Virginia Education Association. Mr. Wood is more likely to protect a woman’s right to choose if she desires an abortion, although Mr. Darby has assured the public he would too. There are many ways for Mr. Darby to help make this area a better place to live, and we hope to see more of him in public service. But in this race, Mr. Wood is clearly the superior candidate. Sheriff Woodward No contest has generated more interest this election season than that between incumbent Sheriff John H. Woodward and challenger Roger Cordani, both Independents. Unfortunately for Mr. Cordani, however, no race has generated fewer issues, either, and there is considerable support in Rappahannock for the job Sheriff Woodward has done. We credit the sheriff with avoiding controversy (just look east to see how bad things can get) through capable management, making the jail fiscally sound, maintaining high visibility and inspiring loyalty among his deputies and other employees. Sheriff Woodward would do well to listen to those who have complained that his office is not as responsive as it could be. Whether the complaint is valid or not, the Sheriffs Office should avoid" even the appearance that they don’t follow up on citizens’ complaints. However, we have not seen any hard evidence that this is much of a problem, and until we see such evidence we can only suggest the sheriff make an effort to change the perception. As far as a major problem, we doubt that it really is. At any rate, the perception ought to be changed, and we see some evidence that Sheriff Woodward has already taken appropriate steps. Mr. Cordani has emphasized Operation ID, a junior deputy program and greater contact with county high school students. Those aren’t bad ideas, but they hardly constitute a good reason to throw out an administration with a track record of dependable service. We also have grave reservations about Mr. Cordani’s lack of police experience. Not only does Sheriff Woodward have years of patrolling, he has gained that experience right here in Rappahannock. We give Sheriff John ffenry Woodward our strongest endorsement. Kay Slaughter The reelection rate among incumbents in Congress is alarmingly high, so voters of the 7th Congressional District in Virginia may be making a choice next month we could be stuck with for a long time. We frankly don’t buy claims by both Republican George Allen and Democrat Kay Slaughter that they support term limitations. It’s a populist issue that sounds like the kind of campaign promise politicians were born to break. We’re not even convinced that term limitations would make for a better legislature and not simply an entrenched bureaucracy. Mr. Allen is the heavy favorite, being a Republican in a conservative district, but recent polls suggest more strength for Ms. Slaughter than one might have thought. Some of that is name confusion with the retiring incumbent, some is support from the silent Prochoice majority, and some, we think, is because she is simply a better candidate. Voters in this district ought to be focused on the environment, for if we fail to preserve our uniquely beautiful countryside, later generations will never forgive us. Ms. Slaughter is an environmental advocate, no newcomer on the save-the-Earth bandwagon. Mr. Allen’s weaknesses on environmental issues stands in marked contrast to Ms. Slaughter’s solid record. The last thing the Capitol needs is another friend of big business who would fight long-due clean-up efforts in the name of The Economy. The cost of doing nothing would be paid right here in places like Rappahannock, Fauquier and Madison, and we have watched more than one Republican politician sit idly by while natural resources are exploited. Mr. Allen gives us no reason to think he would be different. The campaign has hardly been, in our view, conducted with much grace. Both camps have resorted to negative campaigning, most recently taking the moronic “Taxpayers’ Pledge” that they won’t raise taxes. In general, Mr. Allen’s campaign has engaged in more name calling, sloganeering and other negative tactics. But we don’t exonerate Ms. Slaughter. Both candidates seem to be getting some poor political advice, and we wish we had more time to examine their supporters in greater depth. With the lickety-split nature of this campaign, however, that hasn’t been possible. That issue is a wash. On taxes, Mr. Allen has lost much of his natural advantage as a conservative because Ms. Slaughter’s record during one term on the Charlottesville City Council has been marked A* Hi by a balanced budget and no new tax increases. To show how desperate Mr. Allen has been to find any evidence that Ms. Slaughter is—“oh, no”—a liberal, he dredged up a study Ms. Slaughter proposed, not an actual bill, that would have taxed bags of trash going to the local landfill. Mr. Allen himself endorsed a fee on old tires. Frankly, we like both ideas, but if that’s all Mr. Allen could come up with, Ms. Slaughter must be the fiscal conservative she says she is. Finally, there’s another factor favoring Ms. Slaughter: She’s a Madison County native with friends and family in Rappahannock. She won’t forget us in Washington, where Mr. Allen may be too busy networking to attend to the needs of tiny jurisdictions like Rappahannock. Ms. Slaughter gets the nod. Thomas Michie For a few hundred voters in the StonewallHawthom precinct, there’s an opportunity to contribute to the reelection of state senator Thomas Michie, D-25th. Sen. Michie is a thoughtful, respected legislator whose help in the General Assembly will undoubtedly benefit Rappahannock. His opponent, retired FBI agent Ed Robb, a Republican, has portrayed Sen. Michie as soft on crime and out of touch with the opinions of his constituents. However, the senator’s fact-based opinion, that higher jail sentences and stiffer penalties don’t actually slow the crime rate, and that they cost more than Virginia taxpayers are inclined to spend, show the value of a rational, mature perspective in the General Assembly. Sen. Michie will be a tremendous resource to the county, and as he himself has observed, rural counties are going to need all the experienced leadership they can get in the coming years, as Northern Virginia and Tidewater begin to take control. Margaret Haynes Experienced leadership does not always mean effective leadership, as in the case of incumbent state senator Kevin Miller, R-26th, who is opposed by Democrat Margaret Haynes, a veteran of Harrisonburg politics and the constituent representative for U.S. Rep. Jim Olin, D-5th. Although a very likable person, Sen. Miller cannot name one single issue of substance relevant to Rappahannock upon which he has worked. To spend eight years in the Virginia Senate and not have accomplished anything for Rappahannock (or Fauquier) is, in our view, hardly an adequate record. His opponent is right to fault him for it. Ms. Haynes is an unknown quantity, and would appear to be fighting an uphill battle. Nevertheless, we would wager during her first session in the senate she will find some way to benefit her Rappahannock constituents. Letters to the Editor No, no, no, not a liberal To the Editor: Heavens! I had no idea that travel today was so dangerous! I leave town for five days to accompany my husband to a ship’s reunion, and the next thing I know I’m being referred to in the public print as a liberal! No, no, no, no, no, not by anybody’s political definition, although it’s darling of them to want me, and I am delighted that Mr. Bird has finally realized the truth of what I have been saying all along, that tax revenues, all tax revenues, are “other people’s money.” ’ As Mr. Bird really should know, the Constitution allows the Congress, and only the Congress, to originate spending bills, and “allowing” that bunch to spend money is like “allowing” a happy dog to wag its tail. There’s no stopping it, and a liberal press is delighted to label the resulting debt with the name of the sitting president, who has to put up with their foolishness. “O’Neill deficit” or “Foley deficit” is more like it. Until the president can veto part of the congressional shopping list without vetoing all of it, we, the taxpaying public, will have to put up with the expensive situation. The answer, of course, is to give the Republican president a Republican Congress. While you are voting for Bob Darby, while you are voting for Kevin Miller (or Ed Robb), exercise your mind and not your fingers and vote for George Allen, too. EDITH POND Sperryville Wood's stand on choice To the Editor: I despise political shouting matches. However, I feel that Bob Darby’s letter in last week’s paper deserves a challenge. His letter stated, “My opponent says he is personally against abortion and leaves it at that.” His opponent is Jerry Wood. Jerry Wood is personally against Regarding election letters A note on the Rappahannock News policy in regard to political endorsements and political letters to the editor: The above endorsements are running this week to provide one week for responses from the public. All letters endorsing or attacking candidates must run next week. The deadline is noon on Tuesday, Oct. 22. None will be run in the last edition prior to the election (that is, the Oct. 31 edition), as they allow no time for a response—unless in response to editorial endorsement from an official spokesman of a candidate or party. J abortion, he further believes that a woman has a right to choice, and that government should stay out of this private decision making process. Jerry Wood has clearly stated that he is Pro-choice at every joint candidate forum. Bob Darby was clearly within earshot when Jerry Wood said he was Pro-choice on Sept. 19, Sept. 21, Oct. 2, Oct. 3 and on Oct. 8. I apologize for the terseness of this letter, but I want the record to be clear. With all due respect, ALBERT C. POLLARD JR. Campaign Manager Wood for Delegate Warrenton Cats' tale To the Editor: What this country needs is a good cat disposal. I am sure that everyone will agree when they have read the following horror story. I was driving toward old Salem Church last Thursday. On the road ahead were three small animals. I stopped to look and when I opened the car door they jumped in. They were tiny kittens, and the person who dumped the cats had gone to great effort to train them to jump into open car doors. I was attempting to throw them back where they came from but they stuck to me like Velcro. I would toss one out the window, turn to get another and discover the first one crawling up my arm. A passerby stopped and watched my vain efforts at throwing sticky kittens out. The passerby said, “I think the kittens like you.” Everyone likes to be liked so I was flattered. Then this stranger added “I know where I can find homes for kittens, so you take them now. I will call you in a day or two and take care of it.” I can see that he tricked me. He didn’t even ask my phone number and besides he had Maryland tags. On the way home with the sticky kittens, one yellow, one calico and the smallest a gray, I saw a woman real estate broker. She said, “those kittens really like you, I know some people who want a kitten and you will get a call in a day or so!" I have discovered that there are people out there with great reputations for doing good work but they never end up with the kittens. i must, gei riu oi cnese sucay khtens, especially the yellow one. I slide my feet around the house because if I pick them up a kitten is under one or the other and they can scream so loud the windows break. I don’t know their gender, they are so small you have to hold them up to the light to find out, like candling eggs. The yellow one poses all the time, the calico eats and the gray is in the sand box. The trouble these sticky things can be; they sleep in my bed. The yellow one runs up my leg whether I have jeans on or not. The tiny grey one is four inches high and can jump up on a shelf 40 inches up. The calico is always nagging me for something to eat. The worst thing has happened—I find myself talking to them, like: “Good morning, watch the house while I’m out, stay out of trouble, and get off my leg.” I am waiting for someone to call me and adopt these sticky kittens especially the yellow one. The number is 675-3182. I recommend that they go as a set but they can be broken up if necessary. If they aren’t gone in a week I’m going out the Salem Church road and dump them, especially the yellow one. Every time I look down all I see is tiny ears, eyes and tails. I hate them: especially the yellow one. There is no facility to house stray cats in the county. Dogs yes—cats no. The reason? Dogs threaten livestock, so money is appropriated. Back to the large property owners versus the less fortunate. WALTER DAY Flint Hill Rescuers came through To the Editor: Our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers of the Castleton and Amissville Fire and Rescue who responded to a life-threatening illness in our home. How many of us would get out of bed in the middle of the night to help a stranger? The lives of two newlyweds would have been changed forever if you had not been there to help them. None of us knows when or if we will ever have to make that call for help, but after watching you in action I have no fear I know your dedication, professionalism and devotion to your job. We are proud to have you as our neighbors. JOY BENEDICT AND RICHARD CARTWRIGHT-BROWN Castleton

High school kids find ways to compete besides athletics By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer In Rappahannock County High School, as in other schools across the county and around the state, nonathletic competitors prepare for a new year. As soccer players prepare for the goal, basketball players shoot hoops and cross-country runners stretch out before they go the distance, non-athletic competitors over-extend their brain power as they prepare for the game. The list of non-athletic competitions has grown over the years. Some of Rappahannock High’s earliest clubs, like Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and Future Homemakers of America (FHA), have paved the road for newer clubs like the school newspaper or the Technology Students of America (TSA). Clubs like Students Against Drunk Drivers (SADD) and the Effvifbnmental Club have developed from social and controversial issues that affect students and adults across the nation. “There are many students who are in athletic events as well as non-athletic clubs,” school principal John Toth said, adding time spent in any club varies for each student and can range from a few hours a day to a few hours a week. Clubs teach students the best way to get a job accomplished,” he said, adding in organized groups “students see their wild ideas develop into goals and later into action.” He said club participation offers students “a practical application to problem solving” where they can take on “leadership roles. This is where they learn how hard it is to control a group, be a leader and be in control. ” Using the example of the senior class meeting, Mr. Toth explained the elected class representatives were given this first taste of “responsibility” as they conducted their first school meeting. “There were a large number of ideas being tossed around,” he said, adding the leaders were “challenged as they kept control, yet kept the flow of ideas under control.” “It teaches students that adult roles are not as easy as they appear,” he said, adding club participation allows students “to learn to be in charge.” Through club participation, students learn the democratic process through the running for and election into office. They may travel to competition which extends their boundaries and broadens their educatio nalbackground. National Honor Society Students—those with high grade point averages and high standing within the school—tutor students offering both themselves and others an educational goal. Students learn to organize events: SADD members, for example, plan and produce the after-prom parties each year. They learn sportsmanship and school spirit as they compete for regional, state or national recognition in such groups as FBLA, TSA or other clubs. Most students are introduced to club meetings and membership through homeroom announcements, classroom invitations or through club leaders. “This year the TSA club was having a hot dog social to introduce students to the club,” Mr. Toth said, adding this was a new approach for enticing students to join. While some clubs compete for participation and some select members, all students in Rappahannock County High School get a chance at the Pop Quiz team. When students from the 8th to 12th grades, fill out forms in homeroom the first few days of school, they take the test which may or may not place them in the top six positions which compete on the televised game show, “Pop Quiz.” Roger Flinchum and French teacher Cindy Wayland have been working with the “Pop Quiz” teams for over 10 years. “The test is about 30 general questions,” Mr. Flinchum said, adding all students are given the test. Some take it seriously, some take it half-heartedly, and others barely answer the mutiple choice fill-in-theblank questions. From the 350 to 400 students taking the test, the two team sponsors arrive at a team of four players with two substitutes, as game rules allow. “In the past 10 years, we’ve had two 8th-graders on the team and one foreign exchange student,” said Mr. Flinchum, adding that “the team takes the best of the best.” Working toward a championship, the team plays several times before their first appearance on television. “We often play against teachers, adminstrators or adult volunteers,” he said, explaining after the team has been decided upon, the six practice their speed in getting to the buzzer and in providing quick answers. “They usually win about half of the time against me -; vi-i Gory 0Ak^ot^: ft I ft^ fft£| f |«i ' IPMMMMNMMMMMt iappehofliiech + MfgwOzr Photo for the Rappahannock News by Sarah Wavland The team that beat Western Albemarle last week, front from left: James Stone, Bryan Clark, Chris Stone and J Swofford.

Team coaches Wayland and Flinchum believe by playing against doctors, lawyers and professional adults from all walks of life, students are more prepared for the real game when their oldest opponent would be no older than 18. “We’ve had a couple freeze-ups before the cameras,” said Mr. Flinchum, adding students “practice enough against adults, when they see a 16-year-old across from them, they are not intimidated.” The team could be on the silver screen anywhere from one to five times. First time out eliminates their return. The six honored students this year are Chris and James Stone, Alice Reeves, J Swofford, Brian Clark and Justin Day. In their first match Oct. 10 against Western Albermarle High School of Charlottesville, the Panthers pulled a major upset, winning 185-170. According to Sarah Wayland, a student who attended the meet, “The Pop Quiz team started out quickly in the first round. They had at one point a 70point lead. That was double the Western Albemarle score. The third round, the toss-up round, Western Al bemarle caught up and passed Rappahannock. “Rappahannock quickly tied the game back up. With about 10 seconds left in the game, Western Albemarle interrupted a question and got it wrong, giving ; Rappahannock an extra five points. J Swofford answered the last question on the buzzer, getting it cor-, rect and giving Rappahannock a 185-170 victory,’*; according to Miss Wayland. Filmed in Harrisonburg at WVPT TV, several weeks are shot at once, for later viewing. The Rappahannock victory will be televised Nov. 16. “Last year we lost on the first round,” Mr. Flinchum said, adding in other years “the team has done very well.” When the team is off the air, they are competing on screen. The Pop Quiz team participates in Knowledge Master Open—an electronic competition played on computers against schools around the state and across the nation. “There are probally 100 schools in our category,” Mr. Flinchum said, adding the high-tech computer games take two or three hours- to complete and are scored on a local, state and national level. Senate seat Continued from page A-1 which most legislators assume will be the dominant issue in the next Assembly session, Sen. Miller said he wants to see revenue projections before proposing any solutions. “All of the cookie jars are pretty well raided, ” he said. Ms. Haynes said, “My analysis is that actually the General Assembly did a pretty dam good job of balancing the budget,” adding: “I am completely opposed to raising taxes.” Both candidates lamented the General Assembly’s redistricting plans. Ms. Haynes said it was “just a shame” that some jurisdictions (such as the heavily Republican Harrisonburg area) were cut into as many as four different House districts and that the 26th District in the Senate stretches from the Rappahannock River fall line outside Fredericksburg to the West Virginia line. Sen. Miller said the Senate plan was not as bad as the House’s, which he called “absolutely atrocious” and demonstrative of “sheer political arrogance.” “It’s simply to dilute the Republican areas in hopes they can salvage some of their Democratic seats,” said Sen. Miller. On legislative land-use issues such as impact fees, transferable development rights and proffers, both candidates say localities need more power to pay the costs of development. “I think we all recognize local governments have to have some way to finance infrastructure,” said Sen. Miller. A compromise that would satisfy both local governments and developers is in the works, he said, and might make it to the floor of the General Assembly in January. He supports proffers and impact fees, but added that if proffers are Margaret Haynes Residence: Harrisonburg Age: 45 Political party: Democrat Education: B.A., James Madison University Current elective office: None Occupation: District representative for U S.

One son, David Phone number: 703-4339433 accepted as a condition of rezoning, then the value of thib^e proffers ought to be applied to any subsequent impact fees. j Ms. Haynes also supports such local growth-managemeny tools, saying she feels “very strongly that jurisdictions and localities should get to make their own decisions about the type of community they want.” She called Sen. Miller’s efforts on behalf of legislation that forced counties to allow double-wide trailers in agricultural areas an idea that “flies in the face of the Jeffersonian democratic system, where government is supposed to be close to the people.” Ms. Haynes served on a committee that recently composed Harrisonburg’s first-ever comprehensive plan. She favors a local-option impact fee system, but would retain the Dillon Rule (where the state keeps all power not specifically vested to localities). Sen. Miller said he withdrew sponsorship of the “double-wide” legislation “because of the people in Rappahannock and Fauquier,” although he did vote for it, and it Kevin Miller Residence: Harrisonburg Age: 61 Political party: Republican Education: B.A., M.A., James Madison University Current elective office: State Senator Occupation: Professor emeritus of accounting, James Madison Personal: Married to Fran Miller, two children Phone number: 703-4336553 passed.

Ms. Haynes said sex-selection abortion “sounds like something that doesn’t happen.” She would prefer government to stay out of the realm of family planning. The two agree that localities should be able to elect school boards if they so desire, and neither would grant school boards taxing authority. On the issues of crime and drugs, Ms. Haynes said she was heartened by recent surveys showing declining drug use among teens, and endorsed greater educational efforts. She would also favor harsher criminal penalties in general. Sen. Miller agreed that “we are making progress,” and stated he has r '%et'5 ) Orchard i WAtMiMCTOH.

She would like to see greater public-private partnership in education, and wants to “attract teachers with higher salaries.” In her campaign platform, Ms. Haynes called education “my top priority. We cannot maintain or improve our standard of living unless we strive for the best possible education system for our children. ” She also favors mandating a lower student-teacher ratio in grades K-3. Other major points in her platform were greater contact with constituents, including a toll-free number, and improving access for health care among Virginia’s 800,000 residents without health insurance. Sen. Miller said the VEA endorsement resulted from his support of the state’s right-to-work laws and his opposition to collective bargaining for state employees. He said the “philosophical stance of the two candidates is of great importance. . . .My opponent has not really come out with any positions on any issues. I have eight years in the Senate with an established record.” He cited as examples his stand on gun control—the senator voted against the instant-check law but now supports it. “It’s worked out* well,” he said. • He also favors counties being given the same taxing authority See SENATE SEAT, p.

The 1991 edition of the magazine earned 985 points out of a possible 1,000 and is in the running for the Silver and Gold Crowns, which will be awarded in New York in March. The judges opened their comments by saying, “The book is beautifully conceived and realized as an explora-' tion of the imaginative process." The judging was done in several categories. Alison Martin of Flint Hill was cited for her “particularly effective” and “magical” poem titled “Strawberry Moon.” In general, the judges commented that the “use of rhythm and rhyme is a strong element in the poetry presented.” The faculty advisor for Talisman was Lee Buratti of Haymarket. The editor was Miss Daugherty. In the essay section, critics commented on the “meticulously crafted” essay on W.B. Yeats by alumna Lee Daugherty of Boyce. The art and photography pieces were also commended by the judges. They commented that the photos by alumnus Florian Dengel of Front Royal were “fine.” Judges also added that “there is variety and excellence in the artwork.” Talisman was awarded an additional 50 points in the creativity category for the ability of the magazine staff to produce a magazine “whose whole effect is greater than the sum of its parts.” The critique closed with the comment by the judge that “Talisman is a beautiful book, a celebration of the creative process.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan The Campbells’ home was engulfed in 10 minutes.

Five hours later the scene was declared under total control, and fire and rescue companies were put back in service. Chief Roach expressed his appreciation to them. Also living in the house were Gary and Wanda Jenkins, both members of the Washington Fire Company. Mrs. Jenkins is the granddaughter of the Campbells. The family was living with relatives in Jeffersonton Tuesday, said Chief Roach. Chief Roach said the house was destroyed in the blaze, and put the dollar figure on damages at $80,000. Although the Hampton Inn building was not damaged, and no one was hurt in the fire, virtually none of the building’s contents was salvageable. Members of the Washington Fire Company are already planning a Nov. 2 benefit breakfast for the family at the Fire Hall.

Changes in septage rules fail in areas without sewage plants By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer It doesn’t come up in casual conversation. Most people do not know how it functions or where it is located right up until their septic tank stops working correctly. “There is no real time frame for warning signals,” according to Planning District-9 Health Department representative Charles Sheppard. Usually the first signal is when the toilet won’t flush. Other signs: “Sometimes there is sewage effluent rising on the ground” or “wet spots on the drain field,” said Mr. Sheppard. Often those two signals go unnoticed simply because many people don’t know where their drain field or septic tank is located on their property. When their tanks need emptying, Rappahannock residents have far fewer options than they once did, and the costs are now higher as well. Before July 1 several pumping services came into Rappahannock County only to leave with the effluent. Before July 1, effluent could be spread on farmland for fertilizer. But now all effluent must be processed into sewage then into sludge before being applied onto open land. Processing septage—septic tank effluent—is slow, costly and treated with careful measurement at already overloaded sewage treatment plants in surrounding counties. These plants work on a delicate balance, using organic materials that must be carefully maintained for plants to reman productive. Few sewage treatment plants are capable of treating septage into sewage and processing it into sludge, which in a refined stage is land-applicable. If a sewage treatment plant does treat septage it usually is for the county residents in which the plant is located. In Rappahannock County, there is only one sewage treatment plant—the Sperryville package plant, working at capacity and not designed for expansion. All septage in Rappahannock County is now transported elsewhere for treatment. Tri-County Septic in Viewtown is the only pumping service in Rappahannock County. At present, owner and operator Ken Worley dumps in a federal dump site—undisclosed due to competition between dumpers. ‘This is a very delicate situation,” he said, adding at present he is planning “a lagoon” on private property, awaiting perk test results and approval from the county super visors. Fees for dumping and excessive milage traveled for dumping could be the determining factors in this move, though confirmation of this could not be made as Mr. Worley stopped returning phone calls. While he remains unopposed, Mr. Worley’s prices have not increased greatly over the past few years, though fees—specificially dumping, tipping and administration—have increased across-theboard. Pumping of a located and open tank cost $135, just a slight increase over years past. “But, the price of getting rid of ‘If the problem of septage is not addressed, you will see more illegal dumping, immature system failure'of sewage treatment plants with the possible end result of needing ‘sewer lines to all parts of a county.' — Charles Sheppard PD-9 Health Dept. this stuff is going up every day,” said Mr. Worley, adding his business cannot incure the cost which will be passed on to customers. “If people would learn where their septic tank is and how to care for it,” his job could be somewhat easier, he said, adding while pumping prices have not greatly increased, the price for locating, excavating and opening a tank, or of repairing clogged lines or tree root ruptures, could increase the costs by $150 or more. Without his services, county residents are without a pumper. At present, neighboring counties are not allowing septic tank effluent to be dumped in their public sewage treatment plants and many pumpers who formerly serviced the county— such as Paul Ruffner of Warren County—are no longer willing to cross county boundaries. Fauquier County is one of the few' counties that offers a septage treatment facility, at the Remington Water Sewer Authority on the Rappahannock River. “We are not taking any outside septage,” at present, according to plant manager Barney Durrette. That facility only treats Fauquier County’s septage. In order to verify that septage does indeed come from within a given county, dumping stations require addresses, telephone numbers and record the number gallons pumped. According to sources, some pumpers will mix septage from one locality with another, distorting figures in the log. “If the problem of septage is not addressed, you will see more illegal dumping, immature system failure” of sewage treatment plants with the possible end result of needing “sewer lines to all parts of a county,” a costly endeavor for any county, said Mr. Sheppard of PD-9. Culpeper has addressed the problem of septage by refusing all septage at the town of Culpeper sewage treatment plant. “We are not accepting any septage,” said water and waste water plant manager Ken Arthur. “I don’t know where all the stuff is going.” Mr. Arthur said the county has various “small package plants” that service a business or small area, but between them those smaller plants and the town’s plant are not capable of dealing with septage. “We are working on a plan” to upgrade the town plant, he said, adding discussion on the project has stalled due to the question of money. “Who is going to pay for the upgrading,” he asked. “Anything you do to one of these plants is really expensive” and must be approved by several state and local agencies, which “requires more time and more money. “This is a problem that affects everyone,” said Mr. Sheppard, adding while several agencies have said “no,” there is no agency to “promote and develop a plan” to help with the problem of septage treatment. Mr. Sheppard said there are “no regulations” c<Jhceming how often septic tanks must be pumped unless a county has made that stipulation in their county code, as Culpeper County did, stating all tanks must be pumped every five years. He said regulations around the state are “spotty,” though none require pumping more often than every five years. And even though many systems are pumped as few times as every 40 years, groundwater should not be affected by leakage if the system is installed and maintained properly. With no regulations on sewage disposal in the state, homes may start using dry wells again—a gravel pit made illegal in the mid-1960s—or turn to metal septic tanks. “Before the 1950s there were no regulations,” said Mr. Sheppard. Even today, state regulations are not worded for exactness, he said. They only require the “sewage disposal must be adequate.” “Who defines adequate?” he asked.

She said this year about 20 kids, ages 3-8, will be taught at the school from 9 a.m.noon, five days a week. Because some of the grades are not there every day, total capacity this year will never go above 15, she said. The council also agreed to permit occasional night meetings, and weekend assemblies, also on an irregular basis. Spring Mountain School had previously held classes in Old Hollow. Ms. Craig said the total number of teachers, including herself, is only three. Tuition is $1,700 a year for firstand second-graders, $90 per month for kindergarteners, and $60 per month for nursery school students. • Approved a subdivision application by council member Newbill Miller, allowing him to divide a parcel on the south end of town into two lots of 2.6 and 3 acres each. The subdivision was approved on the condition, noted by council member Ray Gooch, that if Mr. Miller redivides one of the lots within 48 months, then the entire 5.6-acre property will fall under rules pertaining to three-lot subdivisions. Mayor Dean Morehouse also requested that Mr. Miller amend his plat to show where the water line enters the subdivision. The subdivision was approved unanimously. Mr. Miiler participated as applicant and did not vote or discuss the subdivision as a council member. • Voted to send the Subdivision Ordinance back to the town Planning The International Gold Cup Races Original Painting by Donna Dellaganna -- INTERNATIONAL: GOLD CUP -VUffES*Saturday, October 19, 1991 Great Meadow The Plains, Virginia Tickets may be purchased at the gates on Race Day!

At the meeting, last week the Town Council had before it two drafts; one composed by the Planning Commission and one drawn up by a council-commission study committee the week before. Mr. Gooch, expressing concern that the action not appear to be a matter of the council overriding the commission’s work, suggested the council ask the commission to focus on specified items. • Took no action on a subdivision application by the Rappahannock Citizen’s League on a property on Fodderstack Road. The council determined that the plat did not meet the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance and sent it back to the Planning Commission. • Heard an update by Mr. Gooch on the voluntary recycling program, which now has a site for the in-town receptacles: the Fire Hall. Mr. Gooch said Fire Chief Roger Roach offered to allow the council to place the receptacles there if the town provides a fenced area for them. “At this point it is our intention to continue pick-up,” said Mr. Gooch, who last month expressed frustration at the increase in effort the town’s recycling collection had undergone. At that time he said the program may be discontinued. “If it becomes a problem we’ll just discontinue it, because we don’t want a trash dump,” said Mayor Morehouse last week. • Was updated by Town Attorney Frank Reynolds on the cable TV franchise agreement. Mr. Reynolds said Adelphia Cable has not re sponded to his letters, so he had no new information. - County Attorney Peter Luke has not heard from Adelphia either, said Mr. Reynolds. • Received a copy of the final “stub street” title search from Mr. Reynolds.

Allen, Slaughter near election Charlottesville lawyers in 7th District battle By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock Newt Staff W liter * When incumbent U.S. Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr. announced this summer his retirement from Congress after three terms, he set off a scramble to succeed him that won’t be resolved until the Nov. 5 general election. Dozens of names were bantered around during the first weeks after Rep. Slaughter made his announcement, including two of his relatives: son D. French Slaughter III and first cousin Kay Slaughter, a Charlottesville City Council member. French III lost the Republican nomination to Del. George Allen, who represents part of Albemarle County in the state legislature, but Kay Slaughter avoided a floor fight at the Democratic Convention in Culpeper to beat out two other candidates. Del.-Allen, 39, is a Charlottesville lawyer and son of the former Washington Redskins coach of the same name. A Republican in the Democrat-dominated General Assembly, Del. Allen has sponsored Judge rules against FOI A Richmond Circuit Court judge ruled recently that two gatherings of the General Assembly’s Budget Committees were legal, despite their being conducted behind closed doors. Judge Randall Johnson ruled that because reporters were barred from the meetings and could not “prove” that meetings actually took place, the hunting lodge meeting and a closed-door budget meeting were not in violation of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Eric Foreman joins Marines Marine Pfc. Eric J. Foreman, son of Chris R. Foreman and stepson of James R. Hoffman of Route 1, Sperryville, recently completed recruit training. several pieces of anti-crime legislation during his time in Richmond. He has promised to fight any tax increases as a Congressman, and cites improving the economy as the highest priority. Del. Allen won’t state an opinion on abortion rights except to say policy should be made on the state, not federal level. In the General Assembly he has voted for parental consent for minors seeking abortions. He favors a constitutional amendment to make the president submit a balanced budget, a lineitem veto and an end to deficit spending. Del. Allen was co-chairman of U.S. Rep. Slaughter’s most recent reelection campaign against David Smith, and generally approves of Rep. Slaughter’s work in Congress. He also strongly supports the job President Bush has done. Del. Allen said environmental clean-up has to be balanced with its impact on human lives and on business. He has proposed Workfare, a 20year-old Republican program that would force those healthy adults on public assistance to perform a certain amount of community service in order to qualify. He “strongly” supported Clarence Thomas’s nomination before the sexual harassment allegations, and opposes quotas. Del. Allen wants to cut the capital gains tax in order to stimulate the national economy. He is married and has two children. Del. Allen holds undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Virginia, where he played quarterback for the Wahoos. Ms. Slaughter, 51, an attorney with the Charlottesville-based Southern Environmental Law Center, is Pro-life, boasts of a balanced budget for the Charlottesville government, and calls herself a fiscal conservative. She was graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor’s degree in English in 1961 and from the University of Virginia in 1986 with a law degree. She has previously worked at OIC Outreach in Madison County, her hometown, in adult education and job training. She was elected for a four-year term on Charlottesville’s City Council in 1990. She favors health-care relief for the middle class and advocates a payroll tax cut. Ms. Slaughter supports a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution and would end deficit spending. She has also pledged to take her expertise in environmental affairs to Congress. Ms. Slaughter came out in opposition to the Thomas nomination prior to Anita Hill’s sexual-harassment charges, calling Judge Thomas unqualified. She opposes quotas. Most recently the two candidates have sparred over scheduling headto-head, public debates (there won’t be any) and on taking a written, nonew-taxes pledge (which both have since signed). Del. Allen has tried to portray Ms. Slaughter as a left-wing Democrat cut from the same cloth as Gov. Wilder and Michael Dukakis, and Ms. Slaughter has painted Del. Allen as a “back-slapping, career politician” who would not fight for 7th District concerns in Congress. Both candidates are in favor of term limitations for Congressmen. The only polling that has been conducted for this race was done by the campaigns, and although they would not release the entire polls, they basically made the same conclusion: the two are very close, with a large chunk (30-45 percent of the vote) undecided as of mid-Septem Der. Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District, as currently drawn, includes all of the counties of Fauquier, Rappahannock, Albemarle, Clarke, Culpeper, Frederick, Goochland, Greene, Hanover, Louisa, Madison, Orange, Page, Shenandoah, Spotsylvania and Warren; parts of Prince William and Stafford and the cities of Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Manassas Park and Winchester. As of the 1990 Census the district numbered 673,000 persons, including 73,000 blacks. It is widely assumed that the state’s additional (11th) district, to be formed during redistricting next month, will effect the 7th, 8th and 10th districts, which combined have more than 390,000 voters above their “ideal” size. So no matter which candidate is elected next month, he or she will almost certainly represent a much dif- . ferent 7th District than that which elects them. House Tour, Dried Flower Sale to be held this weekend This weekend is the third in October and the traditional time for the annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale. This will be the 35th in the series sponsored by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish, Trinity Episcopal Church, in historic Washington, Va. in the Blue Ridge Piedmont. As in the past the tour headquarters will be Trinity Parish Hall. The tour will feature three Rappahannock homes chosen for their architectural, historic and scenic interest; as well as the sale of dried flower arrangements prepared by ladies of the church, the Rappahannock County Garden Club and other members of the community. These colorful and artistic arrangements of dried flowers and many varieties of garden field and forest greens have graced tables in homes from Ohio to Maine to Georgia. The sale represents an opportunity to buy that distinctive, oneof-a-kind gift to brighten the dining, hall or library table in the winter months not only this season but for many to come. These lovely arrangements retain their beauty and charm for years as attested to by one on display at the Parish Hall, but not for sale, that was done by George Davis, a prominent Washington lawyer, in 1971. Tickets are available at tour headquarters and the individual homes, $10 for three homes and tea and $3.50 for a single house. Box lunches provided by the ladies of Washington First Baptist Church will also be available on both days. Homes will be open from 11 a. m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19 and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20. The third home on this year’s tour is Winderreer Farm, the home of Emiel and Lynda Smet in Amissville, off Route 730. The cedar-sided contemporary was designed and built by the Smets in 1981. It is a modified single story, that is, there is a loft over the central part of the house. Except for the brick chimney Photo for the Rappahannock News by Bill Young Windemeer, home of Emiel and Lynda Smet in Amissville, is one of three homes on the tour this year. The other two are the Remington’s Ridge View in Flint Hill and the DeBergh’s Pleasant View in Harris Hollow. chase between the kitchen and the living room, the main part of the house is open. Its cathedral ceiling rises to 17 feet at the peak. To the right of the entry are a bedroom and Emiel Smet’s wood panelled office. To the left is the living room and on the other side of the fireplace, the dining room in both of which lightly stained oak predominate, giving these areas a Flemish touch. This is enhanced by a large, decorative copper relief plate and pewter on the fireplace wall and mantel and a display of Delft porcelain and Blegian crystal in the china cabinet in the dining area. The decor harks back to Emiel’s origins near Antwerp, Belgium. Beyond the large kitchen is a porch enclosed by five tripleglazed doors that lead out to an expansive deck from which there is a lovely view of rolling meadows and woods. The cathedral ceiling of the porch and kitchen is six inch pine. Above the latter is the loft. In the left, southern, part of the house is the master suite whose bath and its large hot tub are also trimmed in oak. Energy efficiency was a prime consideration in the design and is provided by 2-by-6 studs, double ceilings and triple-glazed windows and doors. The design and decor of Windemeer give a warm, friendly and livable feeling; a lovely home for a working farm. Other homes on the tour in- • elude Ridge View, outside Flint * Hill off Route 630, the home of William and Isabelle Remington, where tea will be served both afternoons; and Pleasant View, northwest of Washington in Harris Hollow, the home of Jim and , Beth DeBergh. ; It is requested that high heels ; not be worn on the tour. The Rapppahannock County Historical Society building on Gay » Street and the Washington Mu- ' seum at Porter and Main streets, both in Washington, will also be open this weekend.

Carlos Nakai will perform his hauntingly peaceful melodies at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1 and from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2 at The Theatre at Washington, va. Pianist-composer Peter Kater will make a guest appearance to perform songs from their collaborative recording entitled “Natives.” Of Navajo-Ute heritage, Mr. Nakai resides in Tucson, Ariz. Since 1982 he has accumulated numerous striking flute recordings that have become known for providing listeners with the pure mellow sound of the traditional Native American wood flute that was used for courting and healing in his culture. His music is used by those who meditate, artists who paint, psychologists searching to create a calming mood for clients and those at home to quiet the atmosphere of a hectic day. His recordings reflect the duality of honoring cultural traditions and of developing individual expression. In his attempts to master the traditional melodies, he has found his own expressive style that has brought his instrument into the realm of ensemble performance. Co-founder of the ethnic jazz ensemble “Jackalope,” which blends ancient and modem melodies, rhythms and instruments with hi-tech sound, Mr. Nakai has also recorded with two other musicians. A Tiger Valley resident, Mr. Rater’s style of improvisation touches a deep, spiritual chord for many of his listeners. The two artists’ ability to be musically sensitive to the other creates an experience of tranquility. Both artists have composed for television and film, have toured extensively and have gained international acclaim in their own right. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $10. Seating is limited and tickets at the door, if available, will be $11. Advanced tickets are available at Mountainside Market (Washington, Va.), Down to Earth (Sperryville), New Leaf Bookstore and Natural Marketplace (Warrenton), Culpeper Music, Better Thymes (Front Royal) and in Charlottesville at Spirit Visions Gallery and Feather on the Wind. Visa/MC reservations can be made by calling 937-3110. Lions Club holds apple butter sales By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer Most of you are aware of the many good deeds that are done for the Rappahannock community by the Lions Club programs. Many of you have benefited directly through the eye and ear programs, the gifts to the schools, the scholarships and other contributions to groups, families and individuals who need support from time to time. The Lions never seek reward or public recognition for services they render as these needs arise. The Lion members’ motto is “I Serve,” and they do the best they can to live up to that mission. There are two primary sources for the funds the Lion Club distribute. All contributions go to help the community. The members’ dues pay for all the club expenses. There is the annual auction and the famous apple butter ente^rise. Apple butter made by Lion members, from local apples picked, cut, cooked and stirred by Lions. Last weekend you may have driven by the apple butter stand on U.S. 211-522 near Rappahannock Elementary. This Saturday and Sunday they will be out there again from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or later if the customers keep coming. Halloween season brings out demons, pumpkins and cats By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The signs are everywhere. Pumpkins grin their eerie grins. Black cats slink ’round kettles of boiling brew while ghostly ghouls and goblins dance in the night. Halloween is in the air. Before the night of trick-ortreat, Rappahannock County offers trick-or-treaters, young and old, several options for fun and games. Rappahannock County Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has planned a night to entertain and delight children from kindergarten to pre-teen years. The annual PTO Halloween Fun Festival and Seventh Grade AllYou-Can Eat Dinner begins at 5:30 p.m., Oct. 25, in the school’s cafeteria. Before the parent-teacher event, Rappahannock County seventh graders plan to feed the county’s gouls and ghosts, and parent, too. As a fundraiser in support of the class’s annual Williamsburg field trip, the students prepare and serve pizza dinners. All-you-can-eat cheese or pepperoni pizza with salad costs $5 per SUI1. The fun festival begins at 7 p.m. in the same room with rides on school grounds. Beginning the evening with costume judging of various sorts children can parade their ugliest, scariest, prettiest, most original, best, worst and other costumes for prizes of various description. “Children can bring their own carved pumpkins for judging,” said PTO representative Joan Platt. Carved pumpkins are judged on various criteria. There is no carving on school grounds. Besides the Halloween items such as a haunted house, the I*TO has planned various games for children participation, rides provided by Front Royal Rides and various refreshment. There is no charge for admission to the event but rides and games require tickets, starting at 25 cents. Refreshments such as baked goods, cider, juices and coffee are available for various prices, starting at 25 cents. “Halloween pictures will be taken,” said Ms. Platt, adding children can take their Polaroid shots home for $2. Besides the above events, the a prize—selected from tickets pur chased earlier—is given away each 15 minutes from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets for prizes—one for .25 cents or five for $1—are available at local stores, including Baldwin’s, Hillsdale, Sperryville’s Corner Store, That Sperryville Emporium and Williams Grocery. Donated prizes include several children’s books from Cabin Fever Books, a hand-made fairy by Maggie Rogers, a haircut by the Beauty Box, a photograph donated by Franklin Photography, handblown glass donated by Eric Kvarnes, an azalea from Long Mountain Nursery Inc., a child's farm bench donated by Von Fange and Sons and a tie-dye donated by Kaleidoscope. aiso, ine i_,nna c_are ana Learning Center (CCLC) donated four tickets for their Saturday night, Oct. 26, Haunted Hay Rides, and Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) has donated six free movie passes. “It is very generous for a nonprofit group to donate,” said Ms. Platt, adding every donation was “greatly welcomed.” Highlighting the evening is mask-making. “This was the post popular event last year,” said Ms. Platt, adding for 25 cents the children can use feathers, sequins, gold braid, lace, glitter and a variety of other materials to create the face they want. “This is something the children love to do and they take it home at the end of the night,” she said. They can take it home on Friday and wear it on Saturday, Oct. 26, for the third annual Child Care and Learning Center Haunted Hay Rides in Washington. The event begins at 6 p.m. “If you have little children you should get to the hay rides early,” said this year’s coordinator Cathy Kreyling, adding the early rides offer little scare and few goblins but the later ones are different. “It’s no-holds-barred," she said, adding the second round of rides offer all kinds of Halloween scare. “There is lots of screaming and yelling,” she said, adding the second round of rides are not for younger children. The rides—costing $4 for adults and $2 for children over 12 months— begin as darkness falls over the orchard, somewhere around 7 p.m. For tickets contact the school at 675-3237. Tickets the night of the hay rides is $6 for adults and $3 for children over one. Piled upon hay wagons pulled by tractors, spectators—numbering between 20 or 30—are driven through the orchard, around the barnyard, past the field, over the road and back again to the starting point,a ride taking about 20 minutes. “There is lots of scary halloween stuff out there,” she said, adding over 30 people help create the ghouls and ghosts of the haunted hay rides. It may be the Slack-Marshall family, or Girl Scouts, volunteers like Bob Scott or familiar faces from the high school, but all ghouls and ghosts, headless horsemen, skeletons and other scary figures are volunteers. All proceeds from the event benefit CCLC. Before the hay rides, costume judging on originality takes place in three categories—three and under, four to seven and eight and up. A pinata party follows. Various bonfires are available for hot dog roasting, marshmallow toasting and body warming. “Wear warm clothes,” advised Mrs. Kreyling, adding near the fire it is warm but, “last year it got very cold on the hay wagons.” Warm drinks, hot dogs and other items are for sale. Hay ride directions are posted along the route from U.S. 211. Follow signs from U.S. 211 into Washington, west on Route 622 for one mile, right on Route 624 and left to parking.

We have heard it said that “seeing is believing." Yet, is seeing believing? Our eyesight might fail us, or we could misinterpret that which we see. In what, then, can we believe? Perhaps, ironically, that which is most dependable cannot be seen or heard or touched or smelled or tasted. Though we are thankful for our own physical senses, they are not infallible. Faith is infallible. Hebrews 11:1 tells us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"; and in 2 Cor. 5:7, we read, "For we walk by faith, not by sight.” God has promised us that whatever we ask, if we ask in faith, believing that our prayer is heard, we can depend upon God to answer our prayer in accordance with His will. Therefore, we know that, above all else, we can believe in faith. Worship in God's house this week.

Washington home destroyed by fire We are sorry to hear about the fire that destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Campbell and Mr. and Mrs. Gary Jenkins on Monday. It was very frightening for this writer because I wa§ talking with Mrs. Campbell when all at once she said Oh and down went the phone, I just held on thinking she would be back and then I heard in the background this cracking sound and then a smoke detector sounded off, I still held on hoping to hear from Mrs. Campbell but on my scanner I heard that the Campbell’s house was fully involved in fire, so I hung up and called the Sheriff’s Office to let them know that Mr. and Mrs. .Campbell were home and that she was a diabetic. I was afraid that they might be overcome with smoke and no one would know they were there. Thank God they got out ok but it’s a pity they lost everything.

Apple juice and apple cider By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock New» Contributing Writer I’m sure you’ve noticed the roadside stands in Rappahannock County the past few weeks loaded with baskets of apples and jugs of cider. Colonists from Europe brought with them the “know-how” for making apple juice and apple cider. Apple juice is natural, unfermented juice, often misnamed sweet cider. Fresh apple juice stays sweet for several days under refrigeration. Cider is fermented or partially fermented apple juice. Freezing instructions Cider can be frozen. Simply pour out about 1/2 cup to allow for expansion when juice freezes; replace cap on jug and freeze. When ready to use defrost and shake well before serving. History Apple juice and apple cider were HOME ECONOMICS produced in large volume by the early colonists and during the early years of American growth and development because cider had long been a popular beverage in Europe. Limited storage and limited refrigeration for apples were additional reasons for making them into cider. Boiled cider (cider syrup) and dried apples were other means of preserving apples for future use. Most good apple juice, sweet cider and hard cider are made from blends of a number of varieties. One local orchardist told me he uses onehalf york, one-fourth staymen, and one-fourth delicious. Several of our' local orchards have cider presses which are interesting to take th( kids to see. Apple cider and apples were substitutes for currency in colonial days. The wealth of a town was sometimes measured in terms of the number of barrels of cider put down for the winter, and no farmer ever felt that he had completed his fall work until several barrels of cider were put into the cellar for the winter months. Today, thanks to modern technology, good sweet apple juice and apple cider are available year round, and are doubtless better quality than our forebearers enjoyed.

Mulled cider is a favorite as the weather turns crisp. Cider can also be used to flavor foods, as the following recipes illustrate. Ham baked in cider (Jimmie Swindler) Jimmie Swindler of Sperryville shared his recipe for a cider-baked ham. He uses a gallon of cider instead of water to cook a cured ham. The cider permeates the ham during baking and gives it a delicious flavor! Jimmie said he just follows the directions on the ham and substitutes cider for water in either the baking or boiling directions. Directions for cooking a cured ham: Someone has said that a Virginia ham is best dealt with in four steps: scrub, soak, simmer and bake. Some would omit the final step. Others would slice and fry the ham instead of the scrub-soak-simmer-bake method. „ But for the traditionalist, let’s start with the four-step method. Wash ham with a stiff bristled brush, removing as much salt as possible. Place the ham in a large container and cover with cold water. Allow to stand 10-12 hours or overnight. Lift the ham from the water. Place in a deep kettle with the skin side up. Cover with fresh, cold water (or cider). Put the lid on and set on heat. Bring to a boil but reduce heat as soon as water boils. Continue to simmer until done, about 20-25 minutes per pound. Or soak, scrub and place the ham in a covered roaster, fat side up. Then pour two inches of water (or cider) into the roaster. Place in a 325 degree F. oven and bake approximately 20 to 25 minutes per pound. Baste frequently. Test for doneness by moving flat pelvic bone. It should move easily when ham is done. Or, a meat thermometer may be placed in the ham, following the manufacturer’s instructions. When the interior temperature reaches 150 to 155 degrees F. the ham is done. Lift ham from kettle. Remove skin. Sprinkle with brown sugar and/or bread crumbs and brown lightly in a 375 degree F. oven. Or use a glaze. James Beard, in his cookbook entitled American Cookery, gives a recipe for ham baked in cider which is very similar to Mr. Swindler’s recipe. James Beard also gives the following recipe for a cider raisin sauce to serve with the ham. Cider raisin sauce 2 cups cider from the ham 1/4 cup applejack (optional) 1/2 cup seedless raisins 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon cloves 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cider Cook the cider, applejack and raisins about five minutes and add the spices. Stir in the moistened cornstarch and continue stirring until it thickens slightly. Serve the sauce with the ham. The following recipe for ciderbasted grilled chicken is from the American Cancer Society. Sweet apple cider and pungent garlic combine to give |his low-fat entree a memorable taste. We tried it this past weekend on the grill and liked it. Cider-basted grilled chicken 1 cup apple cider 1 lemon, juice of 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 oz. low-sodium soy sauce 1/2 garlic clove, pared, minced 1/4 cup oil Dash Worcestershire sauce 2 Tbsp. parsley stems, chopped 1 Bay leaf 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. peppercorns 6 boneless chicken breasts, skin off Combine first 11 ingredients and mix well. Add chicken to marinade; marinate overnight. Remove chicken, pat with a paper towel. Place breasts in shallow baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until chicken is done. Or grill chicken on charcoal or gas grill until done, basting occasionally with marinate. Serves 6. NSDAR members hear interesting flag facts By LOUISA T. GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Oct. 8th meeting of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, was held at the new Rappahannock County Library in Washington with the Regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham, presiding. During the opening ceremonies, interesting facts about the U.S. flag were given by Mrs. Walter Clark. On April 4, 1818, Congress established that from then and after July 4th of that year, there would be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternating red and white, and that there would be twenty stars. When each state would be admitted to the Union after that, a star would be added on the next succeeding July 4th after its admission. Mrs. Dale Metzinger introduced the speaker for the afternoon, Mrs. Eldon Brown, the National Vice Chairman of Overseas Genealogy, whose subject was “Leaving an Impression.” With records being lost or burned and many genealogical records lost forever, she encouraged each and every one to tell something about herself and not only who the person is but also something about herself. If we don’t leave the information it just won’t be there. She read some interesting, informative and often amusing excerpts from wills from the past when persons wrote about themselves, their families, their possessions and their wishes. She had on hand some unul books for research, one that shjpiad written on Genealogical Abstracts, and others pertaining to ancestors of this particular area. The story of George Rogers Clark, a very important patriot but largely ignored, was of particular interest to her and she had reprints of his books. She commented that he was never paid for his work for the country and died a bitter, old man. The President General’s Message, read by Mrs. Randolph Dixon, in commenting that this is the end of the Centennial year, urged that in this coming Second Century of Service to the Nation that we remember that “the past is our heritage, the present is our obligation, the future is our challenge” and that we are blessed to be Americans.
