Campaign hung up on toll-free number plan By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock Newt* Staff Writer Having made constituent accesibility an issue in her race against incumbent state Sen. Kevin Miller, R-26th, Margaret Haynes went a step further this week, challenging him on a toll-free line he says he will establish. She accused him of “misleading” voters by saying he has such a number, and said, “In eight years in office, he’s never said a single word about this idea until I came up with it.” Sen. Miller admits he only recently acquired the 800 number, about 10 days ago in fact, but offered proof it exists. Although he won’t release the entire number until after the election, said Sen. Miller, for fear his political enemies will run up a giant bill on the number, the final four digits are 0692. Asked if Ms. Haynes gave him the idea, Sen. Miller said no, but a fellow state legislator, a Democrat, suggested it. He is setting up a number “to give constituents a sense I’m more available.” During this campaign Ms. Haynes has criticized Sen. Miller for not responding to contituents during his two terms as senator.

See SENIORS, p.A-8 Library First Friday delayed Latest in series focuses on county's free spirits' By MITZIE YOUNG Rappahannock News Contributing Writer In the interest of community service and in events planning, the members of the Library Program Committee determined that the first Friday of each month would be designated as “ours.” Friday at 8 p.m. was chosen to enable commuters and weekenders to join us. The first Friday was set because it was alliterative and might stick in people’s minds. But by the time we were into our third session, there was a conflict. Peter Kater and Carlos Nakai are scheduled at the Theatre. Believing, erroneously, that this was to be a benefit, we determined by consensus to be “Free Spirits” and defer our piece of for one week to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8. These programs focus on aspects of Rappahannock history, especially those unknown to newcomers to the area. The first pertained to the county and the Civil War. The second revealed the history of some of the county’s mills. The third will deal with the leavening influence of the Free Spirits, the Flower Children, those who listened to a “different drummer” during the ’60s and ’70s. From these modem settlers have emergend some of the county’s leading entrepreneurs, craftsmen, artists, musicians, teachers and citizens. The richness of the fabric of this community will be further revealed in the remaining three programs, which are captioned “The Best of All Worlds: To Live and Make a Livelihood Here” in Rappahannock County. The Dec. 6 First Friday will be collaborative effort with the Farmer’s Association. In January we will touch on our environmental resources, including the Smithsonian ConserSee FIRST FRIDAY, p. A-8 School's possessions remain in dispute By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer Legal maneuvers in the battle over Wakefield School are far from finished. This week both Wakefield School Inc. of Marshall and Wakefield Country Day School Inc. of Huntly were back in court, trying to settle the question of who owns what in front of Rappahannock Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne. The Tuesday afternoon hearing in Washington, Va. stemmed from an attempt last Friday to divide books, sports equipment and other materials that the Marshall school contends it left behind when evicted by landowner Clydetta S. Lynn in August. Since that eviction a group of parents and Wakefield co-founder Pamela Lynn have begun a new school on the site. Judge Home earlier ruled that materials that were purchased since 1979, and which include supporting documents, can be taken to Marshall, where the old school has started anew. Books, sports equipment, maps and furniture were among the items taken by the Marshall school last week, but because of apparent differences between two existing inventories of items to be taken, some things were left behind. Major items of contention include the school’s bleachers, Open Court textbooks, a map of the ancient world and lacrosse goals. Judge Home ruled on some of the items, but others he continued over in order that other witnesses can testify. Another matter discussed at the hearing is the status of two bank loans secured against Lynn family collateral. One is a $94,000 loan with First American Bank of Front Royal, the other is a $54,000 loan with F&M Bank. Wakefield School in Marshall admits it is the “maker” of the F&M loan, but the bank has requested payment by Oct. 25. Pamela Lynn agreed to allow her collateral to remain backing that loan until negotiations between the bank and the Marshall school are complete, said attorney Thomas Logie. The two sides are scheduled for a November hearing on the merits of the dispute over who should pay the $94,000 loan. The whole matter was continued until after the Nov. 13 hearing.

Student prefects are elected Students at Wakefield School in Marshall completed the election process this week with the selection of class prefects. Previously, the student body had voted for president, vice-president and secretary/treasurer. This week, students in grades 7 through 12 voted for a prefect for each class. In addition, the homeroom teacher for each class appointed a prefect in each grade. The elected prefects were as follows: Grade 7, Donny Scott of Manassas; Grade 8, Virginia Yount of Warrenton; Grade 9, Jeremy Thorpe of Amissville; Grade 10, Michelle Paine of Delaplane; Grade 11, Stephanie Tomeden of Flint Hill and Grade 12, Alison Martin of Flint Hill.

Students disturb bookstore By ALISON MARTIN R^pahuiMck N«i Contrifcutiiif Writer The peaceful calm of Greenhouse Books in Marshall was shattered when the prep school students from Wakefield School in Marshall made an excursion to the store. There, student body president Justin Harrell and Alison Martin made a short “I’m glad to be here” speech to Mrs. Cabaniss, owner of Greenhouse Books. Mrs. Cabaniss offered the students iced tea and home-made cookies which were served outside by the fountain. Inside the store, the blur of navy blazers and plaid skirts and ties was evidence that the students loved the vast amount of books. The actual store is like no other, for it appears to be a converted house. Shakespeare statues grin Mown at the two docile mutts pantnng and anxiously waiting to be petted. Goldfish swim silently in the bubbling fountain. From the intimate air, Greenhouse Books can not compare to the impersonal chain stores - their titles of books are vast and the friendly people working there make it even better. Therefore, the Marshall community as well as the Wakefield students are extremely fortunate to have such a beautiful bookstore with such a wonderful owner. (Editor’s note: Alison Martin is a Wakefield 12th grader. She lives in Flint Hill.) Donor adds to giant gift “Roger,” the anonymous donor whose $100,000 donation kicked of Wakefield Country Day School’s fundraising efforts last week, has added another gift, this time from his corporation, which may increase the overall gift to $250,000 or more. Because some of the gift consists of stock, the exact value is not now known, according to William Beeton, chairman of the school’s Board of Directors.

Rappahannock Polo is second in nation By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Rappahannock County has a national winner. The Rappahannock Polo team “left the gold at Fort Knox but brought home the silver,” said team captain William “Bill” Fannon. The huge sterling trophy set on a walnut base engraved with 24 years of winners is fair reward for the long hours, hard work and physical strain the four-man team endured. Polo is a game where rider and horse gain points by placing a small four-inch-round plastic ball weighing three to four ounces into a goal. The rider hits the ball with a mallet shaped somewhat like a croquet mallet, though smaller and thinner. Over 20 balls are used in one game. The constant smashing by the mallet crushes the plastic. The game is fast and often dangerous for rider and horse, as both are in constant movement. “You have to be fit,” said team captain Fannon, a 60-year-old man who, each spring, works, conditions and schools horses three to four hours a day in preparation for the polo season. “The horse is extremely fit and well cared for,” he said, explaining that one polo game takes six to seven horses. “You play one horse per period,” he explained, adding seven horses are required in case of injury. One period lasts 7Vz minutes. “One period to a horse is the same as riding him at whip for three miles,” said Mr. Fannon, adding polo is played under summer sun and Wood endorses tax threshold Warrenton Democrat Jerry Wood, candidate for the 31st District House of Delegates seat, announced recently that, if elected, he will push to give localities the power to cap their taxes at 5 percent annually. Mr. Wood backs the concept because of the concern he’s heard of people who say they’re getting taxed out of their homes, and hurt by large incremental tax increases, according to a press release issued by his campaign. Said Mr. Wood, “As I’ve been going around I’ve heard people saying that they can’t afford to pay any more in property taxes, and they especially can’t afford large jumps in their taxes. I think counties should have the power to cap their taxes. Five percent is enough.” The cap, applicable to private, residential property, would come in the form of. enabling legislation from the commonwealth. The power to place different tax rates on private, residential property would have to granted to the Commonwealth by its citizens in the form of a constitutional amendment to Article X of the Virginia Constitution. Mr. Wood presently envisions the cap to be an act of the Board of Supervisors, as opposed to voter referendum. “I think its a good long term goal, and one that could provide some realistic caps on property taxes,” he said. * ^te's Orchard. iiHt-yen.vAl Red & Golden Delicious Grimes, Staymans Yorks, Winesaps Also: Cider, Honey Pumpkins Irish & Sweet Potatoes Selling 7 Days a Week Directions: 22 miles west of Warrenton, to Rt 522, North at Massies Comer, 1/4 mile on left.

Bill Fannon, Juan Salinas-Bently of Texas and Roberto Vellegas of Argentina and Phillip Staples of Richmond comprise polo team. mnm many times in low-lying areas that get little breeze. It takes a month to prepare horse and rider for the first May competition. “It’s a great deal of time,” he said. Each player must withstand the same fitness for the team’s success. Facing 20 games a season, the four-man team travels to Pennsylvania, Maryland, D.C. and Charlottesville to compete. The coveted President’s Cup is the final series of games where 46 teams, already winners of their host centers, advance. Rappahannock’s team—composed of captain Fannon, playmakers Juan Salinas-Bently of Texas and Roberto Vellegas of Argentina and defensive man or back Phillip Staples of Richmond—won four out of five tournaments, placing them as contestants for the coveted cup. The team journeyed to Lexington, Ky. in September to participate in the National President's Cup competition at the United States Polo Association. Each rider takes seven horses. A farm with stable space for 40 horses is rented. “Every year, it’s a mess traveling,” he said, shaking his head and remembering the flat tires and chaos that marked the 10-hour trip. But this year, “We didn’t even have one flat tire,” Mr. Fannon laughed. “There w'as some rain,” said he said, adding the normal 10 days of games was lenghtened to 15. “The fields were wet and dangerous,” he said. This is not hamper the performance of the team. They went right for the cup. “When there are 46 teams starting this and you come home with the silver, I think it’s quite an accomplishment,” said Mr. Fannon. Twice before the team has gone to the competition, but this is their first win. “It’s just unbelievable,” he said with pride. Besides the large trophy, each member was given a smaller trophy. Team member Roberto Vellegas was named most valuable player and his pony was named best playing pony. “We took home everything,” said Mr. Fanhon, a huge smile crossing his face. Playing against teams from Detroit, Chicago, Oklahoma and New York, the captain said the best game was in the semi-finals against Saxony from Louisville, Ky. “They were the favored team,” he said. Rappahannock was down three to two at half time. “We held them scoreless for three periods,” said Mr. Fannon. Mr. Fannon brought in three goals in that half. “It was teamwork. All teamwork. Everyone played extremely well,” he said. “There are no heros. We played as a team throughout the whole tournament,” he said with pride. While Mr. Fannon plans to return to the competition next year, he may not take the same team. “Some of them may be back. Some may not,” he said, explaining a new team each year is not unusual in polo. A new year, a new team, a new cup championship are all under way. “In 24 years year, no team has won the cup twice. The competition is just too steep,” he said.

At a Board of Supervisors work session last Thursday, Commisioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins presented the supervisors with the figures recommended by the State Land Evaluation Advisory Council (SLEAC). Most were somewhat lower than those used currently. Currently the county taxes land in the land use program from $250 to $660 per acre. The recommended figures ranged from $50 to $620 per acre. These values are for land in agriculture. Horticultural land is taxed the same as land in agriculture. Forest land is assessed at $250 per acre. The supervisors recommended that the county continue to set $250 as a minimum for land in classes six, seven and eight. Class five land which is currently taxed at $290 per acre, with SLEAC recommending $280, would be rounded up to $300. Class four land, which is currently taxed at $390 per acre, with SLEAC recommending $370, would be rounded up to $400. Class three land, which is currently taxed at $490 per acre, with SLEAC recommending $460, would be rounded up to $500, and class two land, which is currently taxed at $660 per acre with SLEAC recommending $620, would be rounded up to $700. Ms Atkins said that higher figure could be justified because SLEAC produces several figures and $700 would match the value “without risk factor.” She noted that Rappahannock has no class one land. < Horticultural land will continue to be taxed the same as agricultural land, and forest land will be increased from $250 to $300. Ms. Atkins said new • SLEAC figures would justify the - higher figure for forest land. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham suggested the land use rates should be increased because of the increased assessments. “What do we do to make the system equitable?” he asked. He said if the values were raised it would “not raise the large landowners appreciably and will bring down the tax on your house.” Dale Welch, John Lyle and Minora Rifaat spoke in favor of adopting the SLEAC values. “The problem is not with the land use, it’s with the assessment,” Ms. Rifaat said. Hampton District representative Mike Massie noted that 66 counties have land use taxation. “It’s a system that works,” he said. “By encouraging farming, it helps keep everybody’s taxes down. To control spending, it’s essential to tax land on its use rather than its potential market value.” When the supervisors agreed to recommend that Ms. Atkins keep the same values except for the increase in forest land, Col. Bingham agreed to “go along.” He did ask that the supervisors again consider tax relief for the elderly. Historian speaks to society Cathy Knuepfer, president of the Historical Society, invites everyone, member or not, to come to hear Mr. Guinn, who has stories of early settlers, Indians, and anecdotes from his great uncle, W.D. Colvin, a Confederate veteran of the Civil War. Mr. Guinn is organizer and past president of the Culpeper Historical Society and a charter member of the Sons of the American Revolution. Claude Guinn, distinguished local historian, active citizen, and recipient of the L.B. Henretty Award, will speak to the regular quarterly meeting of the Rappahannock Historical Society at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, at the county library. Although he is a lifelong resident of Culpeper, he will speak to us on local historical events. 1 Upstairs.Downstairs ' It's an interesting place to shop ; FALL an emphasis on the Earthy Look and Colors j in Suits, Dresses and Sportswear can be found at The Marypeg Dress Shop Jvjw—A Specialty Shop for Ladies Sizes: Missy 2-20; Half 12l/z-24,/z; Petite 2-16 404 S.

The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1991 Funding disparities Inequity in school funding between Virginia’s wealthiest and poorest counties—for years the subject of controversy—is now headed to court. A coalition of the state’s poorest school districts voted recently to ask a state judge to throw out Virginia’s educational funding scheme as unconstitutional. If the group is successful, Virginia will join Kentucky, Texas and other states whose funding systems for schools were overturned by the courts. The Coalition for Equity in Educational Funding, comprised of 38 mainly rural, downstate school boards and the Virginia Education Association, plans to meet to either finalize or delay plans for the suit, which would be filed in state Circuit Court in Richmond. In the week prior to the decision to sue, state officials tried to convince the school districts to hold off until the General Assembly approves fuding initiatives early next year. In April, the coalition’s board voted unanimously to file suit unless Gov. L. Douglas Wilder presented “a specific blueprint” to resolve the disparities, according to coalition president Kenneth Walker. Mr. Walker is superintendent of schools of Halifax County and the city of South Boston in Southside Virginia. The coalition is seeking a two-pronged approach: • Additional state funding direct to the poorer schools. • Mandates from the General Assembly, ordering localities to spend more local dollars on education. Among the disparities: • Per-pupil funding; funding—derived mainly from local property taxes—ranges from $3,500 in the poorest districts to more than $8,000 in the wealthiest. • Teacher salaries. The coalition points out that for the 1988-89 school year, average teacher salaries were more than $15,000 higher in the top five state school districts than the bottom five. • The state’s share. Twenty years ago, 50 percent of the state government’s general fund budget went to education. Today, that figure is 35 percent. State education officials have urged the coalition to wait until after the General Assembly approves the state’s 1992 budget early next year before filing suit. “A lawsuit at this time would be premature,” state Secretary of Education James Dyke said Thursday. One possible solution: increasing the state sales tax from 4.5 to 5 percent to provide more funding. A few years ago, the rate was raised a half percent to 4.5 percent to fund transportation initiatives. While a lawsuit is not in the best interests of the state, it may well be in the best interests of the state’s children. r EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS AS WE PREPARE FOR THE 21st CENTURY BUDGET PROBLEMS "~7Itr7tZPir7777T777T777T777777lL ' » ■ WEIL, VT WAS \ GOOD ENOUGH FOR OUR ANCES Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Area restaurants donated food for RAWL to sell last week.

Letters to the Editor Wakefield conflict To the Editor: Last Friday several members of the Wakefield School faculty and I had the unfortunate task of going to Wakefield Country Day School to remove sports equipment, library books and other materials that had been awarded to Wakefield School, Inc. by the Circuit Court in a property settlement hearing. As I approached the school a plethora of emotions flooded my mind. Seven of my eight years as a teacher for Wakefield School had been spent in the Huntly school. I remembered with fondness the students that I had taught there, the assemblies and plays in the auditorium, games in the gymnasium and I missed seeing and talking with some of my former colleagues who remained at the Huntly school when Wakefield was evicted. The approach to the school reminded me of the sad chain of events of the last year and I sincerely wished that we could all still be in the Huntly school without the hurt and turmoil of the last year, one big happy family. Wishful thinking turned quickly to harsh reality. As we packed up the books that been been dumped into the hallway outside of the library (under the vigilant supervision of former colleagues) we suddenly noticed that posted over the window of the library door was a picture of Nazis carrying off books (presumably to be burned). At first I laughed, thinking it Regarding election letters A note on the Rappahannock News policy in regard to political endorsements and political letters to the editor: These are the last letters endorsing or attacking candidates that will run before the election—unless in response to editorial endorsement from an official spokesman of a candidate or party. Letters should contain a daytime phone number and be addressed to: The Editor, P.0. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747-0059. was a feeble attempt to hurt our feelings. Then I noticed that the same picture had been posted on the outside door. My short-lived amusement turned to alarm and disgust. What sort of sick mind would resort to this type of tactic? The posting of the picture surely represents a malice and a hatred that is beyond my comprehension and the inference is without a doubt slanderous. If the intent was to insult me and my colleagues, then it was successful. History will tell us that a tactic of the Nazis was to use the Jews as a scapegoat for the ills that plagued Germany. This hatred against the Jews was used in order to gain politi cal support of the German people. This same sort of tactic seems to be alive and well at the Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly. Is this what we want to teach our children? I hope not. The lessons of the past should be used to forge forward and to rebuild. Hatred feeds on itself, it saps our energy and in the end can only destroy. MARGARET A. DOYLE Wakefield School Marshall Education and Bob Darby To the Editor: As Election Day draws near, disappointing news of the scholastic achievements of our country’s students accumulates. This has parents, teachers and administrators searching desperately for a solution. Only teachers’ union officials are certain they have found the answer: more money! Never mind that we already spend more on education per student than any other country. Our students rank lower, measured by what they learn, than their peers in most developed and not a few developing nations. Why keep paying more for less? Bob Darby has centered his campaign for the 31st District House of Delegates seat largely around this education dilemma. He agrees with President Bush’s proposed program, “America 2000.” Its goals: our country’s students will be Number 1 in the world in math and science, and children leaving grades 4, 8 and 12 will demonstrate their knowledge of five core subjects by the year 2000. By emphasizing learning in the classroom, and faced with firm goals, attention to academics will improve. Disciplinary problems, distracting and wasting so much time, and nice-to-have but peripheral topics, will all decline. One interesting and hopeful feature of “America 2000” is to create “one-of-a-kind” high performance schools in each Congressional District by 19%. Mr. Darby will work hard in Richmond to make this reality in our 7th District. He believes gifted and talented children should not have their educational opportunities limited by family finances. Let’s put our money where the greater return for society is likely. In Richmond Bob Darby will seek membership in the House Education Committee. His efforts will help implement “America 2000” loSee LETTERS, p. A-5 30 YEARS AGO October 19, 1961 Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson of Rappahannock County, announces the strengthening of his fire control organization by the appointment of John A. Tapp of Amissville as local forest warden. Mr. Tapp will assist in forest fire control activities in Jackson District. Chief Forest Warden Johnson, in commenting on the appointment of Mr. Tapp, advised that contrary to popular notions, forest wardens are not salaried employees of the state. They are public spirited men who have agreed to mobilize local man-power and fight forest fires in their community. They are paid by the State on an hourly basis only while investigating and suppressing forest fires.

William Napier of Front Royal killed a bobcat while hunting near Chester Gap. Napier had bagged a squirrel and before he could get to the animal to pick it up, the cat got it. The bobcat weighed fourteen pounds and was three feet in length. 20 YEARS AGO October 21,1971 Red Oak Stepper, a foxhound owned by Clifton Clark at his Red Oak Kennel in Woodville, was declared the Vir ginia field champion as the result of the Virginia Fox Hunters Association annual field trials held last week. More than 300 hounds were entered in the bench show and field trials. The hound won first All-Age Highest General Average by placing third in hunting, fourth in speed and drive and second in endurance. Mr. Clark also had Red Oak Browneye placing sixth Derby HGA and Red Oak Scotty second Derby HGA.

Both the mayor and council treasurer Brad Fisher expressed their satisfaction with the work so far.

If education is one of your main concerns, support Bob Darby on Nov. 5. C.H. CHRISMAN L. Sperryville Slaughter supporter To the Editor: George Allen, the Republican candidate for Congress from the 7th District of Virginia, has unveiled the second half of his brilliant campaign. % The first half was his claim that his '■ opponent was a (gasp!) liberal. He l never told us what the word liberal ; fneant to him, or why it was bad, or * proved his claim. If you call names, ’ you don’t have to discuss issues. - His second half is that he himself Jis (hurrah!) a conservative. Again, ; he does not say what this word ' means, or why it is good, or prove ' this claim. He promises that if he »takes this magic word to WashingI ton, we will all live happily ever af’ ter. * Ihe firmest principle held by * Harry Byrd Sr., the Gibraltar of * Virginia conservatism, was that a ’ government should never go into “ debt. Allen’s “conservative” leaders, « Reagan and Bush, have put us $3 ' trillion deeper in debt ($12,000 for * every man, woman and child in America), made life high and taxes low for the rich and taxes high and life as hard as possible for working men and women, unopposed by a Congress scared to death that they might lose their soft jobs (and wonderful benefits) if they buck the president. Allen’s promise can only mean that he will go to Washington and ; rubber-stamp the Reagan-Bush program of making the rich richer and the poor poorer and continuing to * cut back on every public service that helps make life good for Americans. He does not promise to fight the real ; mess in Washington. We should elect our own Kay Slaughter, who understands the problems facing working Virginians , as a rich kid from California like George Allen never will. She will work hard to get government off our >. backs and on our side. £ AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON 2 Syria ^Planning fw. sfor growth ’To the Editor: - This newspaper’s Oct. 3 editorial -entitled “Growth Issues” carries a ♦ clear prophecy of what’s ahead of us k Rappahannockans in the next de£cade. The editorial quotes some facts "and figures from a report by the ♦ General Assembly’s Commission on ^Population Growth and Development. £ The document predicts a 41 per-cent population growth for our state "•in the next few years with a probar-ble doubling of Fauquier’s population and at least a 24 percent l increase for our snug little Rappar hannock County. This means an inevitable ensuing massive spillover of .""big-city type problems that can en♦ gulf us in a morass of urban sprawl, i£pollution, highway construction and ► automobile traffic, power shortages, tiigher taxes, crime, and a sad loss of Our present “neighborliness” ambiance—and probably more. » To have any real chance of protecting our Rappahannock “heritage,” it is imperative that we voters '.carefully consider all of the qualifications of those running for legislative positions in Richmond and Washington. It is threatening to our treasured Rappahannock way of life to automatically vote for one candidate or the other because of being “a nice person” or because we are being instructed to do so by party leaders. The problems ahead of us are so awesome we cannot afford the luxury of simply handling our vote on a “business-as-usual” basis. It is essential that we cast our vote with forethought and great and deep care for our future. We have a tough choice to make. So what about the two candidates, Bob Darby of Rappahannock and Jerry Wood of Fauquier? Mr. Wood is a graduate in pharmacy from the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. He has been a practicing pharmacist for the past 25 years and has operated a successful drug store in the town of Warrenton for the past 20 years. He is a member of a number of pharmaceutical organizations and is active ijr local civic affairs. Bob Darby of Woodville, on the ocher hand, graduated near the top of his class from the U.S. Naval Academy with the needed special training that will serve us so well in his dealing with the complex problems we face in the next few years. An important element in that education is leadership and making quick and proper decisions in tough situations. We can trust him to be no rubberstamp. It is very possible that what to do about atomic power will be in our future in dealing with the coming power shortage. Bob Darby was hand-picked to enter, after his graduation from the Academy, the tough training for leadership in the Navy’s nuclear-powered submarine program. He served three years in the pressure-cooker atmosphere of nuclear-powered subs, where no mistakes or misjudgments can be tolerated. After completing his Navy tour of duty, he and his wife, Trish, moved 13 years ago to the Northern Piedmont region, and over four years ago decided to move permanently to Woodville in Rappahannock. Mr. Darby is also a highly qualified businessman, having started with several friends, after his Navy service, a successful new company that grew from scratch to a company of over 2,300 employees. Since selling that business, Mr. Darby is devoting 30 to 40 hours a week to public service projects directed particularly at education in Rappahannock County and in the state, is involved in environmental affairs and is a local leader in a large project called Habitat for Humanity, a project incidentally in which a former U.S. president is active. On Nov. 5, we must make a wise decision. Who will it be? Think and think well. Fortunately for all of us in this county, we have voted, in years past, with our heads, and not with just our emotions, or as we were instructed to vote by political leaders of one party of the other. We have been fortunate, too, that we have had fine individuals in the past, such as George Beard of Culpeper or Andy Guest of Front Royal, to support as our delegate. Bob Darby has the same qualities of character, compassion, independence of thought, courage, and leadership ability. He knows, too, the problems of rural areas, having lived under the shadow of a big city. He was bom and reared in a small town in Georgia, near Atlanta. We hope you will support and vote for Bob Darby. JANE AND MAURICE HERNDON Sperryville Money down the drain To the Editor: All Virginians shduld be concerned about the future of our nations economy and understand the problem lies in Washington, not overseas. The billions of taxpayers’ money being thrown around the world in the effort to buy friends and build a “new world order” are having a devastating effect on American manufacturing and employment. Those billions directly or indirectly subsidize foreign manufacturing and export of goods to America without restriction or tariffs. In effect, we are paying other nations to destroy our industrial base. On Nov. 5 the 7th Congressional District will have a special election to replace our resigned Congressman. George Allen is a candidate for that office. He has stated . that he is against these destructive policies and will work to change them. I urge 7th District voters to forget partisan politics and party loyalty and think of what’s best for America. Give George Allen a chance as our Congressman. MASON GARDNER Gainesville Democrats analysed To the Editor: Next Tuesday is the big game this fall. It happens to be in the political sports arena. The players have been lined up for quite a while and close scrutiny reveais that the Democrats have the much better players. Jerry Wood for delegate far outranks and outflanks Bob Darby. Mr. Wood is straightforward, you know where he stands, he is for freedom of choice, he is for impact fees and against the outer beltway. Mr. Darby, in contrast, vacillates, and depending on the audience, changes his position on the issues. An exciting fight is shaping up in the state Senate race. Margaret Haynes is a dynamic bright candidate. Her repeated visits to Rappahannock and Fauquier allowed the voters to see a first-class woman in action. Her concern for education is so crucial for the future of our children. Her opponent, Kevin Miller, finally realizes that his senatorial district extends over the mountain. For the past eight years he has ignored us, nobody knew he even existed, now all of a sudden he wants our vote. Who is this guy kidding? The other player on the field is Kay Slaughter. She deserves the seat in Congress. The environment, health and the economy are the issues. She has the qualifications for the job. This year the Democratic team is the winner, with this team the general public will be the final winners.

For the past 13 years as an employee of Prince William County Fire and Rescue Service, I have also worked with Roger Cordani. He is currently responsible for code enforcement and arson investigations in that locality. Having been afforded the opportunity to work closely with both men I have made my choice as to whom is the most qualified to serve as our sheriff in the next four years. Mr. Cordani is a well-trained, hard-working, dependable and concerned public servant. He possesses the leadership abilities that will enable him to operate an effective and progressive Sheriffs Office. On Tuesday, Nov. 5 I urge the voters of Rappahannock County to cast their ballots for Roger Cordani. I certainly will! ROGER ROACH Washington Welcome endorsements To the Editor: Your endorsements last week of Kay Slaughter, Margaret Haynes, Thomas Michie and Jerry Wood were particularly welcome. Not only are these four candidates well qualified, and the best choices one can make, they are the candidates who can serve us best in Richmond and Washington. It is no secret that rural areas in Virginia are losing “clout” as the population of the state shifts to urban and suburban centers. It is also no secret that the Virginia legislature has been, and will continue to be, dominated by Democrats. If Rappahannock County is to maintain any influence at all in Richmond, it will be from those Democratic representatives. When you hear candidates from the other party tell of their accomplishments in Richmond, remember that, unless they had support from a lyge number of Democrats in Richmond, they wouldn’t have gotten anything done. If we want something for Rapphannock County done in Richmond, we had better send someone to Richmond who can get it done; we had better send a Democrat. Among those who can get things done in Richmond is Jerry Wood. He is perfectly suited for the job, having both local roots and professional contacts in Richmond. Those who know Jerry, know what a hard worker he is. He is a small businessman, having run a pharmacy in Warrenton for over 20 years. He has been a member of a number of service organizations, even serving as president of the Optimists Club of Warrenton. While his opponent has equivocated on the issue of a woman’s freedom of reproductive choice, Jerry Wood as plainly stated that it is not the business of government to get involved in something so private and personal as a woman’s reproductive decisions. He won’t let some ideologue get involved in those decisions. The choice is clear. If we want people in Richmond and Washington who can get things done, or keep things from being done to us, we need to send people there who are able to work for us. We need to elect Kay Slaughter, Margaret Haynes, Tom Michie and Jerry Wood. J. KENT REEVE Vice-chairman Rappahannock Democratic Party Washington Supporters of Mr. Cordani To the Editor: As the time approaches for the sheriffs election, we would like to endorse Roger Cordani for sheriff. We feel that Roger Cordani would be someone who the citizens could rely upon to carry out the duties of sheriff and always keep the citizens’ well-being and safety as a high priority- ityAs I was previously employed with the Sheriffs Office for over five years as a deputy, I have worked with Mr. Woodward in many situations and incidents. I feel that he has handled many of these situations with poor judgment on his part, such as the two inmates who escaped a few years ago when very little effort was made to call in extra manpower and State Police canine units to conduct a search for the two inmates. If people are desperate enough to escape from jail, we have no way of knowing what dangers they can impose on the citizens of the county. The main concern of the sheriff should have been the well-being and safety of the community, instead of assuming that they will show up sooner or later to turn themselves in, which in this case was well over a month. At the present time one of these inmates has escaped again and is still at large. We feel that the county needs a sheriff who will handle incidents regardless large or small in a proper manner with the citizens’ best interests at hand. It is time for a change in the sheriff s department and that change is Roger Cordani. We are endorsing him for sheriff and hope that you will do the same on Nov. 5. MR. & MRS. TODD BROWN Chester Gap Doesn't like accusations To the Editor: I’m hoping to write something that is not really another political letter to the editor, but I suppose it is. I just don’t enjoy, or feel enlightened by, the negative accusations, sniping, and labeling that tends to pass for public discourse these days. It wouldn’t hurt the whole process if we would admit that all of these candidates are people who are in reality something other than their negative or positive public images, which have been constructed with such effort. That said, here is my attempt at influencing the election. . . . I favor Kay Slaughter for Congress. She is a Democrat, so right there she gains support in some quarters and loses it in others. Not being too concerned with party affiliations, I’ll try to speak to others who may want to peek through the haze of labels and PR warfare. I have been fortunate to get to know Kay over the past few years, working on some Virginia conservation issues of mutual concern. I recommend her as a bright, enthusiastic, perceptive person with a good sense of humor. She is politically talented. She is strong on fiscal responsibility in government, and states she would work for an end to federal deficit spending. She wants to improve accountability in government in general, and recently decided that she would voluntarily limit her stay in office to three terms. This ties in with her general dismay with “professional politicians” (another label, certainly), which she says includes her opponent, George Allen. See LETTERS, p.

tetters Continued from page A-5 I am most familiar with Kay as an effective advocate for environmental protection measures at the local, state, and national levels. This is very important to me, as I think it will increasingly be to us all—the assault on our natural resources continues and grows. I think Kay Slaughter will factor in the real concerns of people for jobs, security, and improved quality of life, in looking for the best solutions from government. I believe she would be a strong leader in acting to preserve open space, protect water resources, improve air quality, and reorient national energy policy—all of real importance to folks in our area. Thank you. DAVID CHUSE Rock Mills Allen has proved self To the Editor: In political campaigns, many opinions are rendered that have little basis because of the lack of personal knowledge of a particular candidate. I have known George Allen for many years. I served with him in the House of Delegates for four years and with him on the Courts of Justice Committee. I found that our conservative philosophies coincided. George Allen prepared himself well on bills before they came on for consideration. He was serious about his responsibilities to his constituents and the Commonwealth. During the session, he devoted his entire energies to his duties. On one occasion, I asked him why he would not partake of a “highball” or glass of wine while in Richmond. He responded, “I never consume alcohol during the session. I need all of my energy and strength to meet the responsibilities of my office.” I know George Allen. I know his political philosophy, his dedication to duty, his honesty and integrity. I have observed the excellent manner in which he espoused his positions on the floor of the House and in committee and his keen grasp of issues presented. It is unfortunate that those who have little or no knowledge of George Allen would so freely make unfounded disparaging remarks about him. I request your support for George Allen for Congress. S.

East Street Culpeper, Virginia TOLL FREE: 1-800-564-8189 WHEN YOU DEPEND ON TOOLS, DEPEND ON STIHL ST/HL Woodward lacks sticker To the Editor. I am an unemployed single parent of two young children, and it is difficult for me to pay my bills and make ends meet. With help from my family and a few odd jobs I pick up, I have a limited amount of income each month, from this I pay housing, food, clothing, and other necessary expenses for my two daughters and myself. One expense I’ve been unable to meet this year is the purchase of a county sticker for my car and my county personal property tax. While attending county fire department carnivals this summer, several times Rappahannock sheriff deputies have hassled me about not having a county sticker. I do not deny my obligation to try and pay my taxes or my county sticker, but I have been unable to do so. On the other hand, Sheriff John Woodward has a full-time job and financially should be capable of purchasing stickers for his personal vehicles. However, Mr. Woodward has a motor home with a dead sticker on it. It is disgusting to me that he has his deputies out enforcing laws he does not even comply with himself. In the upcoming election I am going to vote for Roger Cordani. I believe he will be a sheriff who obeys the laws he is elected to enforce. GENIA HAUGHT Amissville (Editor’s note: Sheriff John H. Woodward, contacted about this issue, noted that the motor home in question has been parked, so no sticker is required under Virginia law. Sheriff Woodward also stated he does pay personal property tax on the motor home.) Sensitivity questioned To the Editor: I am writing to inform the citizens of Rappahannock that I do not endorse John Woodward for the office of sheriff and to explain the reasons why. In 1984 I worked for the sheriffs department. During that time, on many occasions Sheriff Woodward conducted himself, and handled various situations, in a manner that I perceived as being unprofessional. He showed a very high degree of lack of sensitivity to women’s issues and other issues. In recent weeks I attended a meeting where Sheriff Woodward was present. As we were discussing issues related to animals and thenowners, the sheriff indicated that he would like to make a comment, but was hesitant in light of recent publicity concerning sexual harassment. I then asked him not to make the comment, but he did. He stated that “you know the old saying, you can shoot my wife, but not my dog, or should I say you can shoot my spouse.” He then laughed. In my mind this took a great deal of arrogance, disrespect and insensitivity to make that statement in a public meeting, in front of those whom he knows have a great deal of concern about the major problem of abuse toward women and children. I want a sheriff who will respond to the needs and concerns of women, who will not make jokes or make light of the issues of domestic violence. Now is the time, more than ever, to elect people to public office who will be responsive and accountable to the needs and concerns of women, and who will respond to requests in an effective and professional manner. TEDDIE FROCK HANNON Washington * Editorial . was biased To the Editor: I am compelled to write and express my dissatisfaction with the continued biased reporting of some of the employees of the Rappahannock News concerning the current sheriffs race. The paper seems to question the qualifications and experience of challenger Roger Cordani. I know from my employment with the Virginia Department of Transportation, having worked both in Rappahannock and Northern Virginia, that the exposure and experience I have attained in Northern Virginia is far greater. Just one traffic pattern in Northern Virginia carries more vehicles in one hour than could be counted in all of Rappahan nock in 24 hours. In a similar comparison, the exposure and experience that Roger Cordaru has attained as a law enforcement officer in Prince William County would be far greater than the experience Sheriff Woodward has obtained locally. I have personally known Roger Cordani since we both were small boys and 1 admire his decision not to conduct a mud-slinging campaign, which is so often done. On Nov. 5, I strongly urge the voters of Rappahannock not to be misled by this type of reporting and to support the best qualified candidate—Roger Cordani. JACK ATKINS Amissville Penalties do exist To the Editor: Tom Michie’s opponent is being hypocritical with his ads about Drug-Free School Zones. Selling drugs anywhere in the state has always been a punishable offense resulting in a prison sentence of possibly 40 years or more. The bill that Tom Michie voted against was political fluff that says nothing about Drug-Free Zones or posting signs. As the former sheriff of Madison County, I know that Tom Michie has always been a strong supporter of law and order. He doesn’t support unnecessary bills simply to mislead the voters. Let’s vote for the candidate who believes in truth in advertising. Let’s re-elect Tom Michie to the Senate of Virginia! - CARROLL LILLARD Madison Allen right on the left To the Editor: It is time to confess that George Allen is right in what he says about liberals. Whenever he tries to avoid stating his views by declaring that Kay Slaughter is a liberal he distin guishes liberals from conservatives as follows: Liberals don’t fall to their knees and tremble when the National Rifle Association flexes its bank roll. Instead they move forward with greater determination to take deadly assault weapons out of the hands of the mortal enemies of our law enforcement officials and to stop senseless killing with handguns. Liberals are not willing to allow the oil conglomerates to dictate the fate of our environment. Liberals believe that all Americans should have access to medical care and not just those who can afford the astronomical cost of medical insurance. They believe that a nation which spends billions and billions of dollars defending against imaginary enemies in space should not say that it costs too much to provide for the growing number of Americans whose quality of life continues to be eroded by the relentless recession. Liberals believe that if a woman must make the difficult decision on whether or not to have an abortion she has the right to make her own choice and not be turned over to the state as George Allen recommends. There are numerous other examples which make it seem clear that George Allen is a Ronald Reagan clone who could never be accused of being a liberal. The Ronald Reagan era is over; America has a new agenda. Kay Slaughter understands that agenda and will be a great congressional representative for the 7th District. CHARLES H. GLEASON Charlottesville Health care and your vote To the Editor: If you lived in Canada today, and someone in your family got sick or got hurt, you could go to any doctor. You would get whatever treatment you needed, doctors, hospital or medicine, completely paid for out of your taxes. In the United States, 34 million people have no health insurance. Millions more have inadequate coverage. Many working Americans have to choose between going to the doctor and eating or paying rent. A serious illness can wipe out a family’s lifetime savings. The United States is the only industrial country in the world that does not have universal health insurance, and we pay more of our income for health care than any other country. If we elect Kay Slaughter to Congress on Nov. 5, she will work hard to get us a health payment system, suitable to our way of life, that will protect every American. MRS. JOSEPH J. SLOWIK Madison Taxes and Charlottesville To the Editor: I trust the voters will not be misled by George Allen’s recent negative TV ad that distorts Congressional candidate Kay Slaughter’s position on taxes. As a city council member who has served with Kay and who has been present at all council meetings since she took office, I would like to set the record straight. While on council or during hur campaign for council, Kay Slaughter has never proposed, supported, or voted to institute a local income tax or to raise any other tax. The local income tax issue was discussed at a council retreat in 1990 in the context of our concern for how the costs of local government are shouldered by real property taxpayers. The council unanimously agreed that local option income tax should not be in the city’s legislative package. Kay’s position against tax increases and for tax relief has been clear to anyone who has watched council since her election. She advocated placing a cap on how fast real estate assessments can rise in a single year. She argued against imposing a local cigarette tax. And in her campaign, she has supported a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget and has adopted a “no new taxes” pledge. To say she supports higher taxes ignores both her record and her promises, and is but another cynical attempt by professional politicians to mislead citizens to the neglect of the public good.

State commission tackles growth issues By ROGER BIANCHINI Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer The population of Virginia has increased by 15.7 percent (840,000 people) in the past decade. Projections indicate that the state will absorb “at least” 2.5 million more residents in the next 30 years. This was the news that a committee of six members of the state Commission on Population Growth and Development brought to a regional public meeting with local governmental officials, community leaders and activists, and people from the private sector in the Lord Fairfax and Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning districts last w'eek at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center near Chester Gap. The commission is seeking input to use in formulating recommendations to the Virginia General Assembly to develop statewide policies on growth management through the year 2020. The commission opened the meeting with a slide presentation outlining recent growth trends and their implications in the state , as well as, findings the commission has made thus far in its study, w’hich began in 1989 upon its creation by the General Assembly. Alter tne opening presentation, the first speaker to the commission was Dr. Jim Davis, president of Shenandoah University. Dr. Davis commented on the absence of any reference to education in the commission’s plan, adding, “The concept of education as an economic factor is often overlooked.” Dr. Davis stated that high quality education is a bigger factor in bringing desired growth to a region than perhaps any other, adding, “The pressures for educational services in high growth areas are tremendous . . . and the response is as complex as any other public service provided.” Clarke County Planning Director Chuck Johnson told the commission, “Don’t give us slick one page presentations,” and advised the commission members to come up with an “action plan” not a “policy plan.” He added, “Don’t try and reinvent the wheel. Smooth off and round the edges on the existing one.” As an example, he pointed to existing state organizations on the preservation of open spaces which lack the funding to be effective entities. Commenting on the dilemma of what weight varying levels of government should have in making policy, Warren County Administrator Ron George said, “As a representative of local government, I guess I feel that local government should have a lot of say . . . and in terms of technical assistance when you’re talking about plans or a goal document which deals with things that both governments could do or should do to provide for goals of the Com 7 really think your action proposal list is very short. And it falls very short of accomplishing your findings and I am hoping it is just a starting point and will eventually get significantly larger in the future.' — Dick McNear Sperryville resident monwealth, they should provide technical assistance for those activities.” Asked by commission member Myron P. Erkiletian, president of an Alexandria construction company, “Who has the final say?” George answered, “If the state sets up certain guidelines and provides the technical assistance to the localities to implement them, I guess the locality should have the option not to do it . . . in that sense there would be options for localities to do those things and incentives from the state to do them. Asked by a commission member what his thoughts on controlling density and leaving open spaces in Warren County were, George said, “As county administrator I have some ideas but I also have five board members that each have five different ideas,” eliciting laughter from the crowd. Deputy Fauquier County Administrator Dick McNear told the commission, “I really think your action proposal list is very short. And it falls very short of accomplishing your findings and I am hoping it is just a starting point and will eventually get significantly larger in the future.” Steve Sagar of The Friends of the Shenandoah said, “Tourism is a major industry in this section of the Valley. But a lack of long-term planning is about to kill this goose that laid this golden egg. “Tourists come here for rafting and fishing. They try to get to the river and all they see is no trespassing signs ... if they do find access to the river it is at a public landing or somewhere where they’re standing knee-deep in traffic. “When you get this many people using one small area it just won’t work. You can’t keep it clean.” He added that there are similar small accesses to national forests, “These people come out and they are highly dissappointed. “Virginia is advertised as a beautiful state and it is. But what is the first thing they see when they come into town? Junked cars, trash, businesses that are not kept up. Wash ing machines and old refrigerators piled in yards. “That isn’t the image we want throughout the area and the state . . . better enforcement and longterm planning (is needed) to keep the image that we want to project.” Sagar said he would support the establishment of a state recreation and conservation fund. That is one of three proposals that the commission is considering sending to the legislature. The other two are the development of a statewide comprehensive data system and ways of establishing additional local governmental authority in conjunction with state power on these issues. Robert Kranich, president of the Friends of the North Fork of the Shenandoah, said that consideration should be given to incentives to keep growth around existing population centers to prevent the spread of suburban sprawl, “A great deal of our problem is people moving out from metropolitan Washington. These are not poor people by and large and we are becoming more and more a bedroom community in the whole northern Valley here. The bottom line of your study (and the 2020 study) is that you’ve got a cluster-baby. “But whose going to make these people cluster? Americans don’t like to cluster. . . they are still a frontier people.” Kranich said that unless steps were taken to prevent it, “It will get worse and worse and we’re going to become another Fairfax out here.” That remark brought laughter and cries of “dirty Word” from Valley residents. As the meeting drew to a close, Margaret Vanderhye, a commission member and private research consultant, asked, “Who designates the areas and determines that your area does not grow, that your area is seperate economically? These are not easy things that we are dealing with. “You talk about using regional entities but we don’t give them a powerful target. Maybe the regional entities that we’ve got right now aren’t correct at all. Maybe we need to throw them away and do something different. “But we do need to be looking, I think, at how the decisions . . . and where the decisions are made and how they come to be made. “Whose rights will be trampelled on? And who will be the one to decide if we’ll levy a tax? Is it a state tax, a local tax. Who’s the person that’s going to levy a tax and then stand up for election? “I bring this out because the comments I’ve heard here tonight, I’ve heard elsewhere and just so you know the complexities we’re dealing with, these are the kinds of questions that we ask ourselves, so we ask them back at you. ” That brought a reply from Orange County Supervisor Arlene Baker, who said, “Well, I would like to see comprehensive plans carry the weight of law because even on the local level, they are trampelled upon, ignored. Political mischief is done in the name of anything but good planning.” Host of the meeting, Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center Director Lee Capps, closed the evening by saying, “The enlightened growth scenario is a mixed scenario,” and held the 4-H complex up as a successful example of such a mixed planning process. Seniors Continued from page A-1 Del. Allen, a Charlottesville lawyer, started by attacking Ms. Slaughter’s plan for a payroll tax cut. Her plan, he said, “will bankrupt the system within 10 years.” He accused her of using the issue to “grandstand.” He favors an earning-test tax for seniors and wants the federal government to guarantee pension funds. Ms. Slaughter, a member of AARP, said, “Contrary to Mr. Allen’s allegations, I’m not about to put. . .Social Security in jeopardy.” She favors a public-private solution to health care, wants to “ensure choice” in the selection of physicians and would support protection of pension funds and maintaining the equity of the Social Security Trust Fund. On the question of long-term health care solutions, Del. Allen supports measures that would allow the elderly to cash in life insurance policies to help cope with health care costs. He also favors health-care IRAs, he said. Mr. Maclean called for a national health care program. Ms. Slaughter told the AARP meeting that she struggled with her own father’s long-term illness, and wants to institute long-term care solutions as part of an overall healthcare package for all Americans. Asked about spiraling healthcare costs, Mr. Macleay suggested a national health care program “of some sort,” Ms. Slaughter called for a reallocation of resources that “remains to be worked out,” Mr. Torrice suggested cutting fat from the federal budget and Del. Allen’s “specifics, rather than platitudes” included limited mandate insurance and pooling of health-care costs. Another question concerned increasing housing costs and the burden they put on older Americans living on fixed incomes.

Margaret Haynes says it is time to end government by special interests. She'll represent us, for a change. lYNES STATE Authorized By Margaret E. Haynes Ms. Kline said, “It’s a hopeful sign. It would be nice to know he was more responsive.” Asked his reaction to Ms. Haynes’ printed platform, which emphasizes education, health care, economic development and environmental protection, Sen. Miller said “it all sounds real good,” but he said it is more of a state platform than one tailored to the 26th District. Sen. Miller also mentioned that Dr. Steve Johnson, former press secretary to U.S. Sen. Chuck Robb, was working on Ms. Haynes’ campaign. Sen. Miller said the platform “sounds” like Dr. Johnson had a hand in writing it. Contacted through the Haynes campaign, Dr. Johnson said he was a volunteer, and disputed that he helped write the platform. “There is no issue here,” said Dr. Johnson, adding that Sen. Miller should “talk to 7th District Republicans” if he believes Dr. Johnson to be a strictly partisan political operative. Dr. Johnson and other staff members quit after allegations of taping of Gov. Wilder’s phone calls were made. About Ms. Haynes, Dr. Johnson said: “I like her because I think it is time for a change in Richmond.” They became acquainted while he was with Sen. Robb and she was constituent services representative for U.S. Rep. Jim Olin, D-5th. Ms. Haynes is on leave of absence, and will be a full-time senator if elected. Buying Spruces or Pines in Quantity?

Allen said he wants to ern courage more home-care for the ill, and questioned whether red tape and regulations weren’t driving up the costs of housing. “Local governments need to re1 view their processes and make sure they aren’t adding to the costs of homes,” he said.

For many in Rappahannock, home schools are viable option By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In the fall of 1988 Britton Wood started kindergarten. He hated school from the first day. His mother, former elementary teacher Diane Wood, was not happy either. When she asked him what he had done in school, all he seemed to be able to show for a day in school was a stack of worksheets. When Christmas vacation time came, she decided to take him out of school and teach him at home. Mrs. Wood is part of what seems to be a growing trend towards home Schooling. Britton is now doing third grade work at home. His younger brother Samuel is doing first grade work. Mrs. Wood uses the Open Court reading series. She says she likes this curriculum because it includes a heavy emphasis on phonics and incorporates punctualtion and grammar. She attended a workshop to learn to use the materials. For mathematics she uses Miquon, a program that emphasizes hands-on laboratory work and follows with written work. ,■ “For everything else, we’re on our own,” Mrs. Wood said. “We use trade books, library books, field trips. The thing I love best is the freedom to pursue what comes up spontaneously. This past January we went on a morning walk. We found amazing ice crystals and pulled some off the wall. We measured them in inches and centimeters; we timed how long it took them to melt. They drew pictures of them in their journals.” She gets help from her husband James Wood in the evenings. “He does a neverending saga of ‘Jimmy the Skunk’ stories,” she said. The animal characters in these stories ‘Children are not respected enough as individuals in our school system.' — Patty Mullen Home schooler live all over the world, prompting a study of geography. The stories also bring in history and science. “It really does take two of us,” Mrs. Wood said. “I can’t imagine home schooling with one parent not wanting it.” In order for her children to have opportunities to interact with other children, Britton and Sam are involved in youth soccer. They are also in Sunday school and Scouting. She thinks for now that is enough. “It’s so artificial to be with 26 other kids the same age for six hours a day,” she said. “It certainly creates a large market for clothing sales and toy sales,” she added. Mrs. Wood said she is glad to hear that more time in public school is being spent with children in different grades working together. “That’s wonderful; that’s real life,” she said. ,Each spring the boys go to school to participate in the standardized testing. They must score above the 40th percentile to continue in home schooling. At the end of first grade Britton tested at the fifth grade level in reading comprehension. He has continued to make progress. Mrs. Wood is taking home ^ schooling one year at a time. She has Commercial district in Washington planned By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer County Administrator John McCarthy unveiled preliminary plans fbr the general commercial zone tdong U.S. 211-522 between Wolf Mountain Traders and the Shade Road at last Wednesday’s Planning Commission meeting. The plans were developed by 'Land and Community Associates of Charlottesville at a cost of $9,500. A ^committee worked with the professional firm. Supervisors Charles K. “Bete” Estes and Mike Massie, Planning Commission members Sharon Pierce and John Clark Jr., citizens Martin Woodward and Douglas Baumgardner and Mr. McCarthy §erve on a committee to develop the plan. n Mr. McCarthy explained that one of the major goals of the plan is to allow more commercial development m the area while minimizing road cuts into U.S. 211-522. The area "Would be considerably deeper than the current boundaries of the commercial zone and would be served by -an interior road system. He noted that the four-laning of U.S. 211-522 in that area would take much of the 'land which was in the commercial «one on the south side of the road. Mr. McCarthy said they found they would have to eliminate from the plan land between the road that serves the School Board offices and Rappahannock Elementary and the Shade Road because soils in that area will not handle septic systems. He also said only 20 percent of the land could be covered by buildings. This is much more than is currently used. Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser noted that Fairfax County allows 50 percent of the land to be covered. Mr. McCarthy said having to rely on septic systems meant that 20 percent was the most dense allowable. Mr. McCarthy said that the land could be used more completely if the area is served by a sewage treatment plant and that the area between the elementary school and the Shade Road could be developed, but that sewage treatment was not financially feasible. He said that the firm is currently working on documentation to go with the drawings and that after that is completed, landowners in the area will be asked for their comments on the plan. He also noted that in the “current economic climate” he does not expect much of the plan to be implemented soon. a new baby, a daughter Jillian. “Maybe when she starts eating his papers, he’ll want to go back to school,” she said. Britton said he wants to continue in home schooling through high school. Sharron Proper is teaching her four children at home. The three oldest started in county public schools. The youngest has never been to public school. Mrs. Proper was teaching at a Christian school. She said she noticed that the children in the Christian school seemed to progress in reading faster than hers were in public school. When her oldest daughter had trouble in school and the Christian school folded, she decided to take her children out of public school and teach them at home. This year she has her 12-year-old daughter doing seventh-grade work; a son is doing fifth-grade work, and two younger children, ages seven and nine are doing third-grade work. This is her third year of teaching her children at home. She uses the A Beka series for most of their work and Seton for math. A Beka is the series used by the Christian school and it is popular with Christian fundamentalists teaching their children at home. Mrs. Proper said it places heavy emphasis on phonics, introducing sounds in a very orderly way rather than randomly, which is what she saw happening when her children were in public school. She said she also likes the fact that the stories show the characters using Christian values to solve problems. The Seton math materials, she said, are advanced and enable eighth graders to begin to study calculus. Mrs. Proper has her children out of school on a “religious exemption.” That means that they do not have to submit test scores to continue in home schooling. They are exempt from the compulsory attendence laws. Her oldest daughter wants to return to public school next year for high school. Mrs. Proper is considering that. She is concerned about an atmosphere in the public schools which she considers contrary to her Christian values. Patty Mullen had a daughter from a previous marriage in elementary school. She had a rough time. She felt perhaps she was stupid. She was miserable when she wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom when she needed to go. When Mrs. Mullen’s oldest daughter from her current marriage was ready for kindergarten, she decided not to let her go through the LCRAY ELECTRONICS TV-VCR-STEREO REPAIRS CAM-CORDERS • MICROWAVES 6 TECHS-SPECIALIZED Largest, Best Equipped Shop Around. \ WARRANTY WORK 127 DIFFERENT MFa FAST • EFFICIENT PROFESSIONAL WORK ALL WORK GUARANTEED In business over 20 years. 245/217 lias!

Both are being taught at home. Meanwhile the older daughter has continued at the elementary school. She is happy at school now and doing well. Mrs. Mullen is using math workbooks and the Oak Meadows series for home instruction. This series follows the Waldorf education method, emphasizing practical skills with younger children and delaying academics until the child is seven. Mrs. Mullen said her second grader is probably reading on an advanced first grade level, but she loves math and is on a third-grade level in mathematics. She finds she can complete the girls’ lessons in a few hours in the mornings and they have the rest of the day for other activities. They do lots of arts and crafts activities, weaving and baking. “It’s really fun; I am enjoying it,” she said. f or Mrs. Mullen the main reason for teaching her children at home is to give them a strong sense of “self esteem. Children are not respected enough as individuals in our school system.” she said. She added that there are “a lot of good people who are sincerely dedicated to trying to serve society” in the public schools. She also opposes what she sees as a heavy emphasis on “grades and failing” in public schools. “It is appaling for a child to try to deal with that,” she said. “If a child doesn’t understand, it means they need more time on that idea, not that they are failures.” She believes when her daughters are ready for fifth grade, she will send them to public school. By then, she believes they will have a strong enough sense of “self worth” to deal with their experiences in school. These children are some of the 20 or so who gather each Wednesday afternoon for a Spanish lesson. Elizabeth Blubaugh, who teaches Spanish part time in the public schools, also teaches children being taught at home once a week at the public library. Some of these children also are getting special music lessons by meeting with musicians and listening to their music and learning about their instruments. There are 15 children whose parents have received permission from the School Board to teach them at home this year. Another seven children have been granted “religious exemption.” Last year 12 were in home instruction and nine had religious exemptions. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell noted that parents apply each year during the summer for home instruction, but that once a student is excused for “religious exemption” the school system does not know what becomes of the child. “Some might be in private schools, or their families might have moved and they could be in other public schools,” he said. Robert Lanham and Eugene Weakley are now retired. Culpeper workers retire from FORE Two Culpeper men who achieved admirable work records with the Facility for Occupational Rehabilatative Enterprises (FORE) in Remington retired recently. Robert Lanham turned 65 on Jan. 18. He started to work at FORE in June 1983 and retired Oct. 4. He performed a variety of jobs, both in and out of the shop; worked on the lawn crew, for ITT Reves and for Trinity Packaging. Robert was the oldest employee at FORE and is the first to retire. He is well-liked by the FORE staff and his co-workers, and his happy laugh will be missed greatly. Eugene Weakley began working at FORE Dec. 17, 1979, and like Robert worked inside and outside the shop. Although he is not yet 66, Eugene is retiring with Robert since they have been roommates since December 1985. Robert and Eugene were in residential living after being released from institutions. Once they learned living skills they started sharing an apartment. They have come a long way, accomplishing independent living and holding steady jobs at FORE. Robert and Eugene will now be going to the Senior Center at the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center in Culpeper. Robert and Eugene can be seen strolling around Culpeper, enjoying their retirement. Paid Advertisement The big lie., You probably rcmbcr the story about a little boy whose nose grew longer every time he told a lie. It's called Pinocchio. It's a children's favorite, and the moral is very dear--always tell the truth, because you never know what might happen if you don't. This year, Virginia's Republicans have apparently forgotten the moral and turned their cute little elephant into something nobody should be proud of. Of course, we won't say Republicans will lie to you, but we will say they can be mighty careless with the truth. This time Republicans are saying that Virginia is being run into the financial ground. And every time they tell the story, the elephant's trunk gets longer. These are the facts. Virginia can't have a budget deficit, because our Constitution won't allow it. But even before that, Democrats led the fight to make certain the General Assembly never spent more than it took in. Then, it was called pay-as-you-go. Now, it's called a common-sense approach to keep Virginia's financial house in order. Democratic leadership made it happen, and has also given us a $72 million budget surplus and a $200 million rainy day fund. As a result, Virginia is fourth in the nation in terms of financial market confidence and top-level bond ratings, and the envy of other states. Democrats led the way, and arc determined to keep our state on a steady course. But then, that's what leadership is all about. Planning for a sound future. Making the tough choices. Telling the truth. So before you vote November 5, ask yourself this: Who would you rather have running Virginia? A herd of elephants with noses that stretch from Tidewater to the coalfields of Southwest Virginia? Or donkeys with short, stubby noses...but donkeys we can depend on to cany the load and get the job done. November 5, vote Democratic.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Mark Jenkins, left, competes in cross country against Warren County Oct. 11. Post office rejected—again By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The county Planning Commission again voted to recommend that an application for a new post office for Amissville be denied. Tom Moore had applied for a special use permit to have a new post office constructed on a lot he owns on v the east side of Route 639 and the south side of U.S. 211. The site is approximately one mile from the current post office near the Culpeper County line. Mr. Moore had offered to give the land to E. L. Rieley, who would build the building and lease it to the Postal Service. County Administrator John McCarthy asked Mr. Moore what he would gain by giving the land away. Mr. Moore said he would hope in the future to have other land he owns around the site rezoned to commercial. Mr. McCarthy noted that during the last rezoning in the area for land owned by Emiel and Lynda Smet the planners had agreed that Route 630 would be the eastern boundary of Amissville. Board of Zoning Appeals representative Sid Gottleib noted that the planners had agreed with the last application to favor a site near the village center of Amissville. Holley Green, with Sentry Realty, who is attempting to locate a site for Mr. Rieley, said that the most central site the post office is considering may not have enough land. Evelyn Snowden of Long and Foster Realty said she represented Frances Semones who had offered a site to the post office. She said the post office had considered the site and found the price too high and also objected that the height of the median strip on U.S. 211 would screen the post office from the view of westbound drivers. She said her client would consider a lower price and believes that the median could be lowered because it is filled with stumps at that location. She said the property was much closer to the current post office. Mike Massie, who represents the supervisors on the Planning Commission, noted that the zoning ordinance requires that a representative of the organization needing a building for public use be present for the planners to consider such a request. He said the planners couldn’t consider the site without someone from the Postal Service present to say why the site was chosen. Jackson District representative David Fannon made the motion to recommend that the BZA deny the application. “I wish the post office would get the message that we want them to find a site within the boundaries of Early’s Carpet and Route 630,” he said. Ms. Green noted that the post office had not gone out looking for sites. Instead they had only responded to offers of sites from landowners. “Maybe the Postal Service will reconsider sites more expensive than they like,” Mr. McCarthy suggested. “They have the option to move the post office into Culpeper if they feel Rappahannock is not agree-, able,” Ms. Green said. The planners recommended approval for Potomac Edison to upgrade its Flint Hill power substation and for Bedford Pearson to add a family apartment to a garage to house his wife’s parents. Soccer squad drops game; Homecoming set for Saturday liHitmaiitt By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Rappahannock High soccer coach Uli Maeyer said he was “in shock” following the Panthers’ 8-1 drubbing at the hands of George Mason High School Monday afternoon. Despite making great strides in beefing up the program this year, the Panthers showed their overall youth and inexperience before the home crowd. Counting a forfeit by Eastern Mennonite, the loss to George Mason dropped the Panthers’ record to 2-5 heading into the season finale against the Warrenton Blaze travel team, the homecoming game. The Mason game, said Coach Maeyer, was “a disaster game. It was a total letdown, and we lost it by making horrible mistakes on defense.” The lone goal for Rappahannock came in the second half, when left wing Jason Fox sent a pass to leading scorer Damien Muriel, who beat the goalie easily, putting the shot into the upper left corner of the net. That was about it for high points, as Mason had the run of the field the rest of the time. Coach Maeyer said the young team lost confidence early and never recovered. Girls hoops team wins one In what has been a hard season for the young Lady Panthers basketball team, a win against Brentsville last week was a welcome confidencebooster. In a make-up game, Rappahannock won easily, 48-40. In other contests recently, Rappahannock lost to Clarke 31-39, to Luray 32-50, to Page 72-38 and to Central 30-62. Sherron Boddie has been in double figures for Rappahannock five straight games, and Leah Marlett has scored at least 10 in four of the last five. Emma Swatman is averaging seven points during the most recent five games. Remaining games: home against Manassas Park Oct. 24, at Stonewall-Mt. Jackson Oct. 29, at Warren County Oct. 31. The district tournament begins Nov. 4. If Rappahannock beats Ma nassas Park this week on Parents’ Day, they will probably make the district tournament. Homecoming events slated Rappahannock High Homecoming festivities culminate in the boys’ soccer game Saturday against the Warrenton Blaze, a young travel team that agreed to fill in when Wakefield was forced to bow out.

Shepherd's play involves county actors and musicians Performing artists throughout the community have joined together to offer a truly special Christmas gift to Rappahannock County: They will present “The Shepherd’s Play,” adapted from a 14th Century German script that tells the story of the Nativity from the Gospel of Luke, three perfor.«* mances over two day* “Dee. 7 and Dec. 8. William Carrigan of Washington has generously pledged $2,500 toward the production costs, and 4 he expressed hope that others in the community will join with him to fund “The Shepherd's Play” so that it can be offered annually without charge for tickets. Julie Portman of Ki Theatre, serving as both producer and director of the play, said, “If we can raise another $1,500 to $2,000 we will cover the one-time costs of special props and costumes and have enough left over to provide seed money for next year.” If the full amount is not raised, she said, the remainder will have to be made up through ticket sales. $.

CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Piedmont Fine Arts Gallery is a mixture of many types of fine art, according to gallery co-owner Jane Murdock. After opening July 4th weekend, Arlington caterer and resident Ms. Murdock and friend Ted Pellegatta a newly settled resident of Washington, made their dream of having a gallery come true. “So many of our friends and acquaintances are artists,” said Ms. Murdock. The idea of a gallery—a place to show and sell their work—seemed “a natural extension” of friendship for the gallery proprietors. With the idea in mind, Mr. Pellegatta, a Moroccan wine salesman by trade, began the search for a location. The two friends have been visiting the Rappahannock area for over 20 years and enjoyed the area, though Washington was not their first choice for gallery location. Thinking in the Middleburg, Warrenton, Sperryville area, Ms. Murdock said she planned the “methodical approach,” complete with a market survey. “It just didn’t happen that way,” she laughed. The gallery spot, located below Tanya Richie’s Windflower Fine Arts Gallery, was available, a lease was signed, and the gallery opened in about a month’s time. Items are taken on consignment. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday through Monday, though flexible according to holiday or weekend activities. Located under the Clopton House, the clean-swept brick walk bordered by seasonal flowers and autumn leaves welcomes visitors to the brick floor, white walls and gentle light of the gallery. See GALLERY, p.B-6 Cherokee offers skiing without miles of travel For those who can’t wait to wax up the skis and hit the slopes—but who lack the time, money or inclination to fly out west—a ski area opened last season only a few miles from Rappahannock’s borders. Cherokee Ski Area is located on High Knob, in Linden, seven miles east of Front Royal, alongside Interstate 66. Cherokee opened late last season with 100 percent snowmaking and lighted slopes for night skiing. It was the first new Southeastern area in nearly a decade. Cherokee is a day-skier area an hour’s drive west of the Washington, D.C. Beltway. Automobile travelers can look up and see the ski runs at the 14-mile marker from the junction of 1-66 and 1-81, and Exit 3 at Linden puts them in the Cherokee parking lot. Cherokee has a snowmaking system than can cover the 60 skiable acres a foot deep in 48 hours. Although Cherokee does not offer lodging at the ski area, nearby areas have a variety of motels and inns. The developers have concentrated on uphill capacity: Two 3,800-foot quad lifts and a 1,400-foot triple chair accommodate 6,000 riders per hour. Trails include a 1.5 mile-long intermediate run, 1,400-foot beginner slope and a 2,000-foot advanced offshoot from the summit. A base elevation of 1,250 feet, plus the slope’s vertical rise of 1,053 feet, gives Cherokee a 2,100 foot elevation. That’s comparable to the tallest trails in Virginia. Cherokee caters primarily to beginner and intermediate Call 703-591-5538.

Gingerbread 'n apples By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer To the present generation gingerbread is usually thought of as a dessert that is perhaps served topped with applesauce or apple butter or whipped cream or ice cream. But in earlier years, it was considered a bread to be served with a meal. As I was preparing to write the food articles on apples this fall - as I have the past several weeks - I asked some of the good cooks in Rappahannock County to send me their recipes to use in my articles. Two recipes for gingerbread made with apples were turned in. They are very similar, only one is made with sweet milk and one with buttermilk. They are both delicious; so I’ve included both of them in my column this week. Fresh apple gingerbread (Liz Tole) HOME ECONOMICS 1/2 c. margarine 1/2 c. sugar 2 eggs 2/3 c. molasses 2 c. flour 1/3 c. milk 11/21. soda 1/41. salt 11. ginger 1/41. cloves 1/21. cinnamon 11/4 c. grated apple (1 large) 1/21. nutmeg Cream together margarine and sugar.

The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service” Phone 825-2361 Culpeper CEMETERY MEMORIALS Families meet for cemetery clean-up By WAYNE F. BALDWIN Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer On Saturday, Oct. 12 our groups met to begin our decent (or accent) depending on which group you were in) to the Dwyer Family Cemetery. At 11:30 a.m. deciding to start from the Piney Ridge Ranger Station on the Sky-Line Drive, as our organizer and leader had an unexpected medical emergency and could not attend (this honor falling on myself in collaboration with others). The day was cool, just right for walking in the beautiful fall colors. Our pace was steady and relaxed mingled with much conversation and “getting to know” folks. The folks in the larger of the two groups were: Bill and Clara McFar Tippy Jenkins is new retiree Clifton “Tippy” Jenkins has just retired from the Department of Forestry. Tippy was employed by the Commonwealth of Virginia for the past 31 years and had been with the Department of Forestry since 1970. He served as the chief forest warden for Rappahannock and Madison counties. The volunteer fire departments, coworkers, and cooperating agencies will all miss the professionalism and dedication Tippy gave. He was instrumental in the establishment of thousands of tree seedlings and the extinguishing of hundreds of forest fires during his tenure as chief forest warden. Tippy’s experience will be sorely missed. fcappafjannocfe now has direct lines for CLASSIFIED AND EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING 1-800-852-4797 Arundel Newspapers Advertise locally & surrounding counties!

There is sculpture by local artist Maggi Morris, work by Dan Lewis and Sandra Forebush, Mike Doyle and other local artist. There is iron work and painted eggs and photographs of Rapppahannock County landscapes covered with sunset shades and shadows by artist and proprietor Mr. Pellegette. “Just one type of art would appeal to one person,” said Ms. Murdock. “With a mix, people can browse and find many things that appeal to them,” she said. Celebrating with an early October open house, the gallery owners feel “positive” about the gallery. “It was a little slow at first,” said Rabies clinic i e Washington Fire House Saturday October 26,1991 IOAM-IIAM Cost: $5.00 3 year vaccinafions'forcats and dogs a ^• M.

The retreat begins on Wednesday evening Oct. 30, and ends at noon on Nov. 3. Participants may attend on a part-time basis, but preferrence will be given to full-timers.

Silence is maintained although there are opportunities to ask questions throughout the weekend. The retreat center is in a remote mountain setting next to the Shenandoah National Park about one hour from Charlottesville. Cost of the retreat is $100 for five days or $25 per day. Space js limited to 12 participants. The Blue Ridge Zen Group meets daily in Charlottesville (except Saturdays), and the Sai Sho An group meets on Tuesday evenings in Delaplane in Fauquier County.

Democrats fight it out in House speaker race By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Newt Special Writer Driving through the beautiful Virginia countryside on an autumn morning with the Blue Ridge Mountains in sight is both an inspiring experience and a reminder that the political landscape is dramatically changing. The plentiful road and yard signs change with each locality. “Re-Elect Faulconer Sheriff,” in Orange County becomes “Gronau for Clerk,” in Spotsylvania and “Orrock for Delegate” in Fredericksburg. Hundreds of offices in the state legislature and local governments are bn ballots for a decision Tuesday, Nov. 5. And once the dust settles, we may have a clearer vision of the future of Virginia politics into the next century. The most important question is whether Democratic gerrymandering of House and State Senate districts can stave off Republican gains that might be expected because of population shifts that favor the GOP. Kepubucans naa maae real strides toward eventual control of the House of Delegates before Democrats socked it to them this year and placed 15 Republicans and one independent incumbent together in eight districts. It was as blatant a case of reapportionment for political purposes as have ever occurred in the nation, and yet a federal court panel said there is nothing wrong with gerrymandering so long as districts meet one-man, one-vote requirements and give fair representation to minority groups. Republicans presently hold 39 of the 100 House seats. If they can stay near that number this year, then big opportunities may await them for further gains as the decade progresses. And though the GOP now has just 10 of the 40 Senate seats, some party strategists believe they can increase that number by a couple this fall. Once the voters help sort things out, a lame duck General Assembly will return to Richmond to take care of congressional redistricting that will add one new district to the existing 10 and very likely result in the election of the first black in modem times as a member of the state’s congressional delegation. House Democrats will also be faced with the momentous decision of replacing Speaker of the House A.L. Philpott, who died recently. The frontrunners seem to be Old Dominion Politics Thomas Moss Jr. of Norfolk and Richard Cranwell of Roanoke County, but there is also talk of Lewis W. Parker Jr. of South Hill and Samuel Glasscock of Suffolk. Now let’s try a little punditry, bearing in mind that the forecasting is based on nothing more than speculation picked up from various quarters around the state. Despite demographic patterns that favor them eventually, Republicans are likely to lose a couple of House seats this year. It is difficult to see how with 15 of their incumbents lumped together, they could break even or make gains despite one of the party’s most serious efforts in years to field high-quality candidates. The GOP has a shot to pick up one of two seats in the Senate and likely will in a body that will undergo one of its biggest turnovers in history and will be considerably revamped come January. Along with new House clerk Bruce Jamerson, just 34 years old, will come a new speaker. Tom Moss, the majority leader, may have the votes to win a very slim majority of Democrats, but Cranwell has been extremely skillful in the past at political infighting. Parker and Glasscock are longshots at best. ; By at least the end of the 1962 legislative session, Lt. Gov. Donald Beyer will have to decide if heiis going to challenge Attorney General Mary Sue Terry for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1993. The forecast here is that Beyer will take on Terry, though he wodld be the underdog. If he doesn’t rOn, there seems no great gain for hinrto serve as lieutenant governor for four more years, particularly if a Republican should win the governorship next time around. There is little doubt Republicans would rather see Terry nominated than Beyer. (Editor's note: John Goolrick* a former political reporter, is now.'an aide to 7th District Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed are his own.) •/ Time to order new seeds Now is the time to place your seedling order for next spring’s planting season. By ordering now, you can be assured of getting the species desired. Some species sell' out fast, making it wise to order early. Never before has the Department of Forestry offered such a wide selection of species. This year several “special packages” are offered. For example, there is a gypsy moth package available that contains 25 seedlings of species not preferred by feeding gypsy moth larvae. A wildlife package and a wildlife garden seed mixture is also offered. There is even a wildflower seed mixture available. In addition to the above, many hardwood and evergreen species can be ordered. Some of the species include: white oak, red oak, pin oak, black walnut, white dogwood, sweet gum, Chinese chestnut, white pine, Norway spruce, Scotch pine, ash, ADVERTISING DEADLINES LOCAL DISBLA1I ABYEE!nSIHai Rappahannock News Ads Tuesday, 12 Noon Combo Ads (Two or more papers) Friday, 3 p.m. Real Estate Combo Ads Friday, 3 p.m. v CLASSIFIED - > Rappahannock News Tuesday, 12 Noon m Horse & Farm Monday, 12 Noon Combo Word Ads and Classified Display Monday, 3 p.m. and loblolly pine.

White water adventures beckon for the brave of heart By LOU HATTER 4 Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer • If your idea of a special weekend getaway is being pampered in luxurious surroundings, skip this trip. J But if you enjoy the outdoors, ■ love an adrenalin rush and don’t HIS mind getting wet, the Gauley River 5 is waiting for you. * Five hours southwest of Warreri« ton, the Gauley flows between steep ■ tree-covered hills and sheer granite I! cliffs as it meanders south to its confluence with the New River. For most of the year the river is relatively placid, a haven for fishermen ^•and canoeists. But for about six weeks each fall, -‘'all that changes. i>"> There is a giant earthen dam just upstream of Hico which creates . vSummersville Lake, a pristine recreation area. During September and "October, West VaCo, the electric - mtility that takes hydroelectric power from the dam, draws down the lake for the winter. Water pours from huge outlets at ">the base of the dam at the rate of >2,800 cubic feet per second. The • "gushing flood creates a permanent "'mist in the air below the dam, world4 ’Class whitewater in the river rapids *-below the lake, and a quickened < jpulse in any rafter seeing it for the first time. “Gauley Season is special,” said "'Kathy Rech, assistant manager of <■>J'Jorth American River Runners, one •of the outfitters that runs the Gautey. Whitewater rafting trips run on West Virginia’s 2,000 miles of rivers ’'from early spring through late fall, •L>but for whitewater afficiandos, . -“Gauley Season” is different. -- prom oummersvme uam to tne ,r,New River, the Gauley runs for 26 'i ■ whitewater-filled miles interspersed -owith placid sections of “flat water.” oc. Rapids are the product of a river’s relationship with the topograv‘phy, created by a combination of i»ivertical drop and narrowing of the river’s width — the steeper the drop !~and the narrower the river, the ortvilder the whitew'ater. Whitewater rapids are rated lnfrom Class I through Class V (Class GIVI is considered unnavigable), with , "Class I being those with minimum ' ’currents and easily maneuvered •*<routes. As the rating increases, so -ddoes the difficulty. Class V rapids M*are potentially life-threatening, with steep drops, physical hazards like ""Undercut rocks and narrow passages r>*that require expert navigation. Of the top 10 whitewater rivers .j in the world, two are in North 'America. One is the Colorado, the ‘'other is the Gauley in the fall. (vAWorld Class Whitewater!” the souvenir t-shirts boast. It’s not an idle one. — For those attempting their first whitewater adventure — and the term adventure is appropriate — the Lfower Gauley is the recommended initiation. It flows 14 miles from -Koontz’s Bend to the takeout, passing numerous Class V rapids with inpames like Heaven Help Us, Upper - and Lower Mash, and Kevin’s Folly. V Though difficult, the Class IV i .!and V rapids are somewhat less se“"vere than their counterparts upriver. And there is more flat wa. ter between them, giving the paddll^ers a chance to rest and the guide an “Opportunity for quick classes in ,/risteering the raft.

Tickets BYOB 636-2056 Music by from five to seven paddlers, with a guide at the back who steers and directs the paddlers. Reasonably good physical condition is recommended, since arm, leg and back muscles get a good workout over the course of the day. With a good crew and an experienced guide, the trip is unforgettable. Our guide on the Upper Gauley, Rip Kirby (“everyone just calls me Kirby”) has been leading trips for 10 years and is one of the company’s guide instructors. The rapids on the Upper Gauley are fast and furious. From the put-in just below the dam to the first rapid, Initiation, was only a matter of moments. It gave Kirby a chance to assess his crew and bark a few commands, getting the paddlers used to working with each other. Then the fun began. At 8 a.m., the first splash of 52degree water got the crew’s attention, and made everyone glad they had opted to wear wetsuits on the trip. (Helmets and life jackets are mandatory, and included in the price. Wetsuits are optional and cost extra, but most whitewater vets recommend them on all but the hottest mid-summer days.) Perched atop the raft s inflated sides, feet braced under the cross tubes, the paddlers responded quickly to Kirby’s commands. Apparently convinced of his crew’s competence, he repeatedly guided the raft into the largest of the standing waves and through the narrowest and fastest chutes that dot the rapids. Even an eight-man raft feels tiny as it bobs in the Gauley’s gigantic whitewater, riding up the front of a standing wave, bending in the middle as the bow breaks the crest, then slamming down into the trough behind as a wall of water rolls over the boat, drenching everyone inside. It sounds dangerous, and it is, although caution and experience go a long way toward lessening the risk. “I’m not one of these macho guys who thinks I can go out and kick the river’s butt,” Kirby said as he prepared the raft at the put-in. “I know better — I can’t.” All day, Kirby’s precise maneuvering and quick commands put the raft right where he wanted it — in the middle of the biggest whitewater on the river — time after time. On only a couple of occasions did the raft even touch the many rocks jutting through the Upper Gauley’s turbulent rapids.

Kissing the rocks is like stepping on your partner’s toes — and if you step on her toes enough, she’ll dump you.” Dumping is definitely not recom THE FRIDAY NIGHT PLACE TO BE for dining and dancing SEAFOOD BUFFET All You Can Eat 5 PM - 9 PM Dancing at Peppers Lounge COME OUT AND ENJOY THE FUN at ABERDEEN BARN/PEPPERS LOUNGE Located in the Holiday Inn of Culpeper • Route 29 South • 825-1037 mended, although several rafts on the trip did run up on rocks without incident. And this writer can attest that an unexpected swim in the Gauley in the midst of a Class V rapids is a world-class experience in itself. (When they tell you to cinch your life jacket up tight, they’re not kidding!) The outfitters have gone to great lengths to make the entire trip a memorable experience. Though motels and bed and breakfasts are available in the area, most outfitters also offer camping on-site for a nominal fee. Our outfitter had hot showers, a lighted volleyball court and a deck where videos of the trip can be viewed while relaxing with cold beer, hot coffee and new-found friends from the trip. Though Vice President Dan Quayle and his family recently rode the Gauley, “We aim for the average guy,” one of the guides said. “These people here come from all over, and they might have saved all year for this trip. If there’s anything we can do to make their vacation more enjoyable, we’ll try.” At dinner one night, the cooks overheard several guests who worried they would oversleep the next morning and miss their 6:30 a.m. breakfast. “What campsite are you in?” one asked. “I’ll be happy to come by and check on you.” Sure enough, before dawn the next morning she stopped by to make sure everyone was awake. The food is also worth making a reservation for. Lunch is provided on the river, and breakfast and dinner are available at an additional charge. Beside the obvious advantage of being only a short stagger on river-weary legs from the campsite, the food is delicious, and there’s plenty of it. For adventurers looking for a thrill-filled weekend, one trip down the Gauley will probably not be enough. It’s a different challenge each time, which keeps many whitewater rafters coming back for more.
