Mrs. Ellis said the petitions had been in all but two stores in the county. She suggested that the Scrabble site could be fenced and people from nearby would be willing to police the site for a nominal amount of money. Harold Parker of Sperryville said he is not able to get to the landfill during the hours it’s open except on Saturday. He said closing the dumpster sites would be the same a tax increase for him. “If I have a 20 mile drive I will spend more money. The net result is a tax increase,” he said. “That’s one of the few county services I use at all,” he added. v Frank Warner of Scrabble said he has mixed feelings about closing the dumpster sites. He noted that people are saying if the dumpster sites are closed more trash will be dumped along the roads. “That may be a self-fulfilling prophesy,” he said. He noted that the laws about what may be put in the dumpsters are frequently broken. “My preference would be to close it with reasonable alternatives,” he said. Garfield Burke, who lives near the Huntly dumpster site, said he feels most of those who don’t follow the laws about what could go in the sites are from outside the county. He asked why the sites are no longer being policed. Hubert Gilkey, chairman of the board, noted that funds for the deputy to police the sites were cut off. Tom Junk of Sperryville said it was a waste of manpower to have the a deputy patrol the dumpster sites. See SUPERVISORS, p. A-5 School funding passes, county budget gets ax By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors voted to pass the school budget without changes and cut about $120,000 from the rest of the county budget in three work sessions before agreeing to advertise the county budget for public hearing next month with a real estate tax rate of 50 cents per hundred dollars of assessed value. That tax rate will still require the general fund surplus to be drawn down by about $235,000 to meet expenses. County Administrator John McCarthy said further cuts might be possible once the supervisors decide what they want to do about trash handling. The budget includes $85,000 to purchase and develop a waste transfer station to replace the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble. It also includes the same amount for hauling trash that is being spent this year on hauling from the two dumpster sites. At last Thursday’s meeting to act on the school budget, Hubert Gilkey, board chairman, said he wished more people had been at the public hearing on the school budget. “I feel it was a well-presented budget,” he said, making the motion to approve it as presented. Hampton District representative Mike Massie seconded the motion, which passed unanimously, Mr. Massie noted that the county share has increased by $269,000. “The state is not paying the same share,” he said. The supervisors also considered the budgets of the constitutional officers last Thursday. They cut $20,000 from the budget of the Commissioner of Revenue when they decided to purchase a computer system for that office and the Treasurer’s Office by buying it over a three-year period rather than all at once. The computer will have two terminals in each office. It will handle information on assessments, land use, and personal property. It will save time in both offices and help with billing. 7 think it would be money well spent to keep harmony among the employees.' — Hubert Gilkey on contributing toward county workers' retirement funds About $18,600 was cut from the public safety budget. The main item cut was deputies for the jail. Sheriff John Henry Woodward had included in his jail budget funds to pay for a cook at the jail. The state compensation board did not fund that position. The supervisors cut $75,000 from public works. Mr. McCarthy said that amount could be cut because bids for construction of the sfecond phase at the landfill came in lower than expected and because the first phase could be closed out under EPA guidelines, which are less expensive than guidelines of the state’s Department of Waste Management. V; ' At Monday’s budget work session, the supervisors also cut $1,200 from animal control. The Rappahannock Animal Welfare League has been receiving $400 per month to take care of dogs at the shelter. They had asked for $500 per month. Mr. Gilkey noted that the state only requires that dogs be kept for five days. He said RAWL frequently keeps dogs for up to 15 days. He said he did not have a problem with See BUDGET, p.

A-5 Bicycle tour crosses county Rappahannock Nfwi Staff Report The Tour Du Pont, the country’s most prestigious bicycle race, will cross through Rappahannock County next week, part of the fourstate, 1,000-mile route. The race is expected to attract 16 teams of seven cyclists each, including many of the country’s best racers. Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond, an American, is among those competing for $300,000 in cash and prizes. The Tour Du Pont will run through Rappahannock County about mid-day on May 12, as part of the sixth leg, from Hagerstown, Md. to Massanutten, Va. The cyclists will come through Chester Gap on U.S. 522 at approximately ll:45 .a.m. Traveling about 24 miles per hour, they will proceed to the Massies Comer intersection with U.S. 211, make a right turn and head toward Sperryville. From Sperryville they will go right (south) on Route 231 and follow it across the Madison County line by about 1 p.m. Traffic along the route will be restricted one-way or both ways, depending on if the road is two or four lanes. In its former incarnation, as the Tour de Trump, the race had passed through Rappahannock, taking other routes. This is the first time in several years it has come through the county. The 11-stage race will be chronicled with extensive television coverage. CBS Sports will broadcast shows on May 10 and May 17. ESPN will air nine 30-minute segments. After passing through Rappahannock the bikers will head south along the Blue Ridge to Swift Run Gap, past Harrisonburg to The Homestead in Hot Springs, then east to Wintergreen, Richmond and north to D.C. The finish line is at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium in the District. Modern approaches to farming vary widely By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Extension agent Tommy Williams nurtures Rappahannock agriculture for a living, working with farmers to plan, raise and market their products. He’s upbeat about the future of farming in the county, and in a recent interview he related the ways some county farmers are adapting to the market of the ’90s. “There seems to be an upsurge in interest lately,” he noted. . .I’m optimistic about farming in Rappahannock County, I truly am.” Fruit and beef, long the staples of the county’s agricultural base, have benefited from strong price? in recent years, he said. And a variety of innovative adaptations by county farmers has created a wider, more stable base than has ever existed before. He is convinced that there are steps the county can take, both collectively and individually, to preserve the agrarian r character that most would say is fundamental to Rappahannock’s charm. “You don’t want to put any more obstacles in the farmers’ path than you absolutely have to. Taxes come to mind. And I’d like to see some more educational programs in the schools, and 4-H, F.F.A. (Future Farmers of America),” he said. At present Rappahannock High students do not have access to a single farming class. “We have nothing in the way of agriculture or horticulture,” said RCHS guidance counselor Joyce Brown. She said there is “very little” demand for such courses. “We started talking last year about some kind of agricultural club, but had only one student interested, so it fizzled out,” said Mrs. Brown. Mr. Williams, who works closely with kids in the 4-H programs, claimed there is such a demand. “I’ve seen a lot of demand for horticulture, as well as for the animal sciences,” he said. At any rate, no pro¥ grains exist, even though there are hundreds of farms in the county. The state of apple and peach orcharding in Rappahannock is generally thought to be in decline. But Mr. Williams, who himself operates an orchard, said that appearances can be misleading. “The number of apples has gone down, true, but the quality and prices have risen,” he said. During the early days of intensive orcharding in Rappahannock (1920s-1930s), most of the apples were lower quality, sold to manufacture vinegar that was widely used in canning. Nowadays the apples and peaches are bettergrade, but fewer in number. . “The fresh market here is tremen- ! dous,” he pointed out. Last season the apples that were sold for juice commanded $1.75-$2 per bushel. Apples for processing were being sold at about $3.50 per bushel.1 See FARMING, p. A-3 *4 4 Tommy Williams

CRIME & PUNISHMENT Fauquier police seek fatal car fire clues Rappahaiiaock New* Staff lUpocta There are more questions than answers about the Are that killed a 23-year-old Conde man, formerly of Rappahannock, in the early morning hours of May 1. Fauquier County Sheriff Joe Higgs said the victim has tentatively been identified as Neil Jacob Burke, who died of smoke inhalation after his 1988 Pontiac caught fire on Route 688, near the Route 647 intersection north of Orlean. The Sheriffs Office is requesting assistance in its investigation, Sheriff Higgs said. He asked that anyone who might have seen Mr. Burke between 9 p.m. April 30 and 4 a.m. May 1, or who has information about his whereabouts during those hours, contact Lt. James Waddell of the Fauquier Criminal Investigations Division, 703-347-6870. Sheriff Higgs said that “due to the severity of the fire, identification of the victim’s body has been difficult. The Burke family has assisted by providing dental records and other information, but we have still not been able to make a positive identification.’’ The car was registered to Mr. Burke’s parents, Patricia and Abraham Burke of Tiger Valley near Washington, Va., and other information points to Mr. Burke as the victim, the sheriff said, but the identification remains tentative. Sheriff Higgs said the fire, which apparently started in the console area, completely burned the car and was nearly out when it was discovered by a passing motorist about 5 a.m. Jim Jones, chief of the Orlean Volunteer Fire Department, said firefighters extinguished the fire and discovered Mr. Burke’s remains in the driver’s seat. The heat from the fire was so intense that it melted the window glass, and all that re AiCom Newspapers Staff Photo/Lou Hattei Medic Bill Pittard, left, and Fauquier Sheriff's Office arson investigator Deputy C.Q.

Even the tires were burned, with only their steel belts left on the rims. The car was sitting in the southbound travel lane with the gear shift in neutral and the parking brake set, Sheriff Higgs said. Investigators determined that the gas tank did not explode and appeared to be empty. The driver’s seat was found in a semi-reclined position, and investigators believe it is possible that Mr. Burke fell asleep behind the wheel after stopping the car, Sheriff Higgs said. Sometime after that, the sheriff said, the car was consumed by fire, killing Mr. Burke. “The actual cause of the fire is still undetermined,” Sheriff Higgs said, “but based on the investigation and the lab results, I can say that alcohol was a contributing factor in the incident.” Mr. Burke’s family lives in Rap SPRING into Take your fix-it list to BOWEN SUPPLY 296 South Street, Front Royal 635-8330 Experienced Friendly Staff Mondayfriday 7:3QAM-5:30PM Saturday 7:3QAM-2:00PM New Keys Screen Repair Window Repair Wood Stain Garden Hose Faucets Whirlpool Fixtures Brushes & Accessories Mid- and High-End Cabinets -□— Yes!

County fights tax that costs more than it would take in By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors is coming under increasing pressure to enact business taxes. Last winter Commissioner of the Revenue Beverly Atkins said her office was informed by the state’s Department of Taxation that the county should have a tax on machinery and tools and either a merchant’s capital tax or a business license. County Administrator John McCarthy said when the county has explored these sources of revenue in the past it has appeared that it will cost the county almost as much to administer the taxes as they could generate in revenue. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said it doesn’t make sense to him to enact taxes that impose a hardship on businesses in the midst of a recession. At the March meeting the supervisors asked County Attorney Peter Luke to write seeking an Attorney General’s Office opinion on whether or not the county has to enact such taxes. Mr. Luke said he can’t simply ask for such an opinion. He has to do research to justify the position that the county doesn’t need to have such taxes and then request a ruling by the Attorney General’s Office on his opinion. He sent off his opinion in late March and has not yet received a ruling. Mr. Luke said his research indicates that the legislation allows the county to enact such taxes and reserves such revenues to the localitie— but does not require that the county enact the taxes. Rappahannock used to have a tax on machinery and tools and a merchants’ capital tax, but they were dropped in 1981, when the county did away with all personal property taxes except for automobiles, trailers and boats. At the April supervisors meeting the county adopted a program that requires all contractors doing plumbing, electrical work or work on heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to be certified. At that meeting several contractors suggested the county should also adopt a business license tax. They said they are accustomed to paying such taxes in other counties, depending on the amount of business they do in those counties. They said such a tax could protect the homeowner against unscrupulous workers coming in and doing substandard work. Mr. McCarthy noted that the county can’t adopt such a tax just on contractors. It would have to be on all businesses. Mr. Massie said he opposes business licenses. “We need to encourage people to set up businesses in the county,” he said. Rappahannock may be unique among Virginia counties in not having any of these taxes. Information supplied by the offices of the commissioners of revenue in all the surrounding counties shows that they all have taxes on machinery and tools. In Culpeper it is $5, based on 20 percent of the original cost. The rate in Madison county is $5.50, based on 20 percent of retail cost. Fauquier County’s rate is $4, Warren County’s rate is $2, and Page County’s rate is $1.25, based on 40 percent of the original cost. Three surrounding counties also have merchant’s capital taxes. In Culpeper the rate is $2.25 based on 40 percent of inventory. Madison County has a rate of $4.30 based on 20 percent of inventory. The rate in Page County is $1.50 based on 20 percent of inventory. Warren and Fauquier counties don’t have merchant’s capital taxes but do have business license taxes. In Warren County the rate depends on the type of business. Retail merchants pay 12 cents per $100. Wholesale sales are taxed at the rate of three cents per $100. Contractors pay 10 cents per $100. Financial, real estate, and professional fees are 35 cents per $100. Repair and other businesses pay 22 cents per $100. Fauquier County has a more complicated fee schedule. Some businesses pay a flat fee. Others pay a flat fee plus additional taxes based on the volume of business, and some pay only based on the volume of business. For example, retail merchants pay $20 on the first $10,000 in gross receipts and 10 cents per hundred for receipts over $10,000. Wholesale merchants are charged five cents per $100 of purchases. Contractors pay $20 for the first $12,500 in business they do and 10 cents per $100 for anything over $12,500. Fortune tellers and itinerant peddlers pay a flat fee of $500, but savings and loans pay $50. The fee on personal service occupations in Fau quier County is $20 for the first $6,000 of receipts plus 20 cents on each additional $100. For professionals the fee is $20 for the first $3,500 of receipts and 30 cents per $100 over that. Mr. McCarthy said that he looked into both meals taxes and business license taxes shortly after he started working for the county. A meals tax at W2 percent would have yielded $50,000 to the county with little cost in collecting it, he said. However, although towns and cities can enact meals taxes by a vote of the governing bodies, counties can only enact such taxes with a referendum. He said estimating the potential income from a business license tax is more difficult. For example, he can get information from the state on the volume of business done by contractors based in the county, but he can’t determine how much of the business was done in the county. For other businesses with only one or two existing in the county, the state won’t supply any figures at all, Mr. McCarthy said. However, he estimates a business license might bring in $30,000, based on a fee of $25 plus 50 cents per $100. He also estimates it will cost the county $20,000 to collect the tax, chiefly because the county would have to hire an additional half-time employee for the Commissioner of Revenue’s office. Pointing out that the purpose of taxes is to raise money for the government, Mr. McCarthy said, “I think it’s bizarre to enact a tax just to have the tax.” Farming Continued from page A-1 But the roadside stands typically get $8-$10 per bushel, although the season isn’t very long. Contributing to the sense of an industry in decline are the countless acres of old, overgrown apple orchards that aren’t being harvested any more. Mr. Williams estimates that a typical apple tree lasts about 50-plus years before going seriously down hill. “Some of these [orchards] are not good sites—they’re too steep, on poor ground, or in frost pockets,” he noted. But other old orchards are being revitalized, and with modem varieties that only take a few years to bear fruit, the turn-around time has been reduced dramatically. Those replanting old orchards, he said, should push up the old trees to remove old root systems, put in grass or corn for a few years, and clean up the field. Then, in a couple of years, new apples will be ready for the picking. Drought conditions of the past three years have hurt the fruit crop as well, and scorched or killed numerous acres of pastureland. Even with the wet spring, he said, some farmers are “a little leery of re-seeding until they can see if the weather is going to get better.” Dry conditions hurt cattle operations by forcing farmers to purchase feed or sell off livestock, and lack of moisture cuts fruit size and damages the return bloom (which determines the health of the next year’s crop). Still, Mr. Williams is optimistic. One reason he listed for his outlook is the growing sheep industry. Sheep producers in the state, including some in Rappahannock, are forming a marketing cooperative. That’s worked in other areas, he said, and there’s no reason to think it won’t in Virginia as well. A “very unique” fallow deer farm in the county “seems to be doing quite well,” an example of the alternative approaches that can pay off for those willing to take some calculated risks, he said. Mr. Williams has been monitoring the recent increase in the number of fanners involved in market gardening, and is enthusiastic about its potential for growth insR^ppahannock. Raising high-quality produce in modest-sized gardens, some producers here are finding it worth their while to travel to Northern Virginia’s farmers’ markets four-tosix times a week. The return? Up to 80 percent of supermarket retail prices. Market gardening’s appeal is CARD OF THANKS We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all our friends, relatives and neighbors who expressed their sympathy through cards, visits, food, flowers, prayers and other acts of thoughtfulness that was gratefully received during our loss.

Tomatos, watermelon, sweet com and garden vegetables are all popular with city residents, and the location of Rappahannock within an hour of the city makes it the ideal place to raise crops to fill the demand. “Take it to Fairfax and Arlington. That’s where the people are that time of year (summer),” he said. Urbanites are conditioned to come out here in October for foliage and for the apple harvest, but during the summer a number of local farmers are finding it quite successful to go, as Mr. Williams says, “where the people are.” The Rappahannock Farmers’ Association has begun planning to revitalize the county farmers’ market, but Mr. Williams suggested that even with a thriving local market, producers should not forget about the city. “The guys that deal with these farmers’ markets have excellent results. They’re getting 60, 70, 80 cents a pound for their produce. You just can’t get that anywhere else.” Cut and dried flowers are also being harvested here, along with Christmas trees, azeleas, and timber. But if Mr. Williams has a pet product, it might be silver queen com. “There’s an insatiable demand,” he said, and if residents don’t see much of it lining county roads, there’s good reason. Farmers know about its susceptibility to poaching, so much of the silver queen grown here is being raised in “out-of-the-way places, and in the middle of cornfields.” On an acre of ground, he said, a farmer can fit about 18,000 plants of sweet com. Assuming a return of 12,000 good ears (or 1,000 dozen), at $3/dozen, that’s $3,000 per acre in return. "That’s not bad money on an acre of ground,” said Mr. Williams. Trout farming has also taken root here, and those involved in it are also low-key, for the same reason. “They’re doing quite well, and they don’t want everyone to know they’re doing this,” he said. And no discussion of viable farming in the county would be complete without mentioning the cow-calf producers, the most visible form of local agriculture. “The cow-calf man around here has done reasonably well. We’re well-suited to it,” he said, and prices have been high. There are several pork producers in Rappahannock, but pork prices, like sheep prices, have been somewhat low of late. An area Mr. Williams would like to see the county’s farms diversify into is poultry.

Thr Audit BuffMw THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1992 Editorial , ■»' t : ' .. .... A iiw_ Mi Waste not Few services provided by county government with our tax dollars are used by nearly all of us. Not everyone is a student, or a parent with children in the public schools. Many of us will see 20, 30 or 40 years go by before we make use of the zoning department, or the court system. But the landfill and the public dumpster sites, those are used by all of us—everyone creates trash, and everyone needs somewhere to dispose of it. There are several reasons to close the dumpster sites in Scrabble and Huntly. They are unsightly, unpopular with neighboring landowners, and the county is concerned about liability. There’s one big reason to keep them both open. The public wants them open, as reflected in the petition signatures that have been collected in rapid fashion. The liability issue, we feel, is a red herring. If the Board of Supervisors’ major concern is that someone will dump a toxic substance into the dumpsters, contaminating, apparently, the landfill, then why aren’t loads being dropped off at the landfill itself being monitored? The long dumpster there is no more closely monitored than those at Scrabble and Huntly, so liability exposure exists there, too. If there have been a rash of lawsuits concerning dumpsters, we certainly aren’t aware of them. There’s another issue here, that the county might purchase property along U.S. 211-522 between the high school and the bus garage for a solid waste disposal site, a middle school, and future office space needs. But with the middle school in doubt, and the dumpster closings facing such opposition, the need for that land is hardly a given. Many reasonable people think that the land ought to be purchased no matter how immediate the need for it—it’s an ideal spot, in an area slated to take commercial development, and land isn’t going to get any cheaper. But governments aren’t in the business of speculating on real estate, no matter how good the deal. If the land isn’t needed right now, really needed, it shouldn’t be purchased. In that sense, government is unlike private industry. It might be a good business decision to buy a hundred acres you know you’ll need down the road, but it’s not a sound governmental decision. So the question remains, why close the Scrabble and Huntly dumpster sites? It may be that the most sensible way to run a solid-waste site is to put it near Washington, the geographical center of the county (and, more or less, the population center), on a four-lane highway, and pay someone to make sure what’s going into our landfill is from Rappahannock residents and is not dangerous. Is that reason enough to make a six-figure land purchase? No. Is it reason enough to make the politically unpopular decision to close sites in Scrabble and Huntly? Again, no. Cost is another factor. The county spends more than $100,000 of its $180,000 contract with Community Trash to service the dumpster sites. The contract expires in the fall. How much of that trash is being dumped by cars without county stickers, no one knows, but undoubtedly some of comes across the Warren County Line into Huntly. Closing the sites, or establishing one central site, will certainly save some money. Supervisor Mike Massie, Hampton District, pointed out in a recent meeting that Culpeper operates a landfill only, no dumpster sites, and that Rappahannock’s entire operation could possibly be privatized. However, due to the location of the landfill in Amissville, he would be asking residents of large portions of the county to make 50-plus-miles round trips to take out the trash. That goes beyond an inconvenience and would constitute a hardship. Even if a site were established near Washington, the Huntly and Scrabble sites would still be valued. As to privatization, as we said above, trash disposal is one of the few functions of county government that benefits us all. Making it even less convenient would be, in our opinion, unwise. And we doubt the savings would be substantial in any event. The legal liability issue does not hold water. The cost concerns are real, but acceptable. The need for a new site is questionable. If the dumpster sites are to be closed, it will take a more compelling argument to show us why. We hope the supervisors Mali delay this move for a couple of years. The reasons to delay action on this issue are numerous. The reasons to act now are not. Band has been active To the Editor The Rappahannock County High School band does various things in and around the county to positively represent the school. They participate in a number of parades in and out of the county. They have participated in district band festivals. They have, in many of these activities, brought back honors. School concerts are given periodically, which are open and free to all attending. This band is still under organization and its goal is to purchase new uniforms. By next fall the band director wants to initiate a flag squad and have instruments in the percussion section. We would appreciate any support that you can give to this up-andcoming organization. You can support us by attending any concerts that are being given. Also the group would be happy and grateful to accept any tax-deductible donations to get us started. Checks can be made payable to RCHS Band/Band Boosters, J\0. Box 90, Flint Hill, Va. 22627. The future of our children is very important. Joining and supporting the band can be a rich and rewarding experience. LINDA MALLORY PAT LAWLER RCHS Band Sponsors Special thanks to rescue units To the Editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock County Recreational Facilities Authority, I wish to extend my apologies to the Flint Hill, Washington and Sperryville volunteer rescue squads for our failure to acknowledge their efforts in support of the Fodderstack 10-K Race. Without the support provided by the volunteer fire and rescue companies, it would be impossible to ensure the well-being of participants in the race. Their willingness to sacrifice their Saturday morning was greatly appreciated. Once again, our apologies for the oversight, and many thanks, once again. john w. McCarthy Recreational Facilities Authority What about that debt? To the Editor: Check bouncing? How about the national debt? Why do the mass media focus only on the personal irresponsibilities of some congressmen? The headlines ought to be calling attention to the record of any congressman, senator, or president who is responsible for the massive indebtedness of this nation. Consider: During the current fiscal year, the president has already told us there will be a deficit of $399 billion. As recently as 1975, spending for the entire federal government was less than this year’s deficit. If Congress wasn’t going along with the plan for massive amounts of red ink, it wouldn’t happen. The admitted national debt now exceeds $3.6 trillion and will top $4 trillion by Oct. 1. Annual interest on the debt was an astronomical $303.9 billion as of last Oct. 1, more than the entire federal government’s spending during the height of the Vietnam War. Additional interest payments this year will add $30 billion to the staggering taxes and amounts to $2,750 additonal from each taxpayer. It is quite evident that the president and a majority of Congress are pushing this nation into economic slavery via debt. JAMES B. HUTT Jr., M.D. Warrenton Admires rep's historic bill To the Editor: I believe that Congressman George Allen should be applauded for his attempt to bring some accountability back into the historic designation process by putting local officials into the equation in his proposed bill, HR 4849. Imagine a special-interest group coming along and getting Congress to pass a law that all Ford owners must have their cars designated as historic because Henry Ford invented the automobile (Henry didn’t invent the automobile, some just decided he did; history is what you make it). Part of these regulations might require that if you are going Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage These ducks along U.S. 211 in Sperryville are probably the only creatures in the county that didn’t get their fill of precipitation during the month of April.

Without some checks and balances, preservation laws could get this onerous. At what level of the bureaucracy would you want to deal with to get problems corrected— federal, state, or local? In reality, historic designations can amount to restrictions that almost amount to “federal zoning laws.” The 10th Amendment provides that all powers not specifically given to the federal government shall remain with the state and local governments. Is federal bureaucracy trying to usurp those rights? Congressman Allen is trying to maintain these rights for all of us. Some warn of dire consequences for history and the possible demise of sites like Monticello, Mount Vernon, or Williamsburg, but there are two important things to remember: these three sites are privately held and maintained and none of these sites would be effected by this amendment. It is my opinion that private citi zens do a far better job of preservation than bureaucracy, and they do it more economically because bureaucracy is more concerned with preserving and perpetuating itself than the areas it is responsible for. Private citizens have a direct interest in their property both for the present and the future. M. JAMES MENKS Graves Mill Pornography decisions To the Editor: Pomographers are reeling under the onslaught of federal prosecutors and the major national-level pornographers have been convicted and have forfeited their real estate and business interest. In U.S. v. Pryba, a Virginia couple was sentenced to prison and forfeited their business and personal real estate as a result of their federal obscenity convictions for renting obscene videos. , In U.S. v. Sturman, et al., a Las Vegas court accepted guilty pleas from the world’s largest pomographer, Reuben Sturman, and two of his associates Allan Berke and Ralph Levine. Their property forfeited exceeds $2 million; Sturman was fined an additional $1 million and sentenced to four years in prison. Earlier this month, Mark Carriere and his corporation, Multi-Media Distribution Company Inc., forfeited $3.5 million after tendering guilty pleas to federal obscenity charges. Carriere is facing a potential five years in prison when he is sentenced by the court. J. MICHAEL SHARMAN Culpeper Earth Day experiences To the Editor: A few weeks ago, my husband and I participated in an Earth Day observance by joining citizens in Rappahannock County as we picked up litter from the sides of our area’s roadways. We want to thank and recognize Hunt Harris for organizing and coordinating our group’s efforts. Filling both trash bags and recycling sacks, our awareness of the seeming indifference of a few of our neighbors came into direct focus. The endless stream of beer cans, cigarette packs and butts, and soda bot ties actually appeared to be the product of one or two persons’ ignorance of the true beauty and peace our litter-free byways offer. Because of the I-don’t-care attitude of the few, we all have litter on the sides of our roads. One offender who travels our hollow smokes a menthol cigarette, and drinks a beer named after an Old Brewing City. Another trash thrower obviously likes to eat ice cream on the way home from the grocery store, but doesn’t want the trash at home. Several potato chip and tostado bags confirmed this as well. We “discovered” beer cans that dated to before the pop-top, strange looking antique liquor bottles and our neighbor even had to contend with a couple of dirty diapers. When we finished our assigned areas, we traversed the road with pride, enjoying the new-found harmony that such pristeen order brings. But our reverie was broken when we saw that, in the short time since we had collected the litter, someone had already come along and littered again. Another beer can and cigarette pack had been carelessly tossed out of a car. It is up to us, each one of us, to become aware of the great gifts our clean and healthy planet can afford us. It is up to us to be the caretaker for Earth. The condition of our roadways reflects, in a minute manner, the sad environmental conditions that exist on our globe today. The destruction of our rainforests (bountiful medicine chests and gold mines of information); the toxic dumping into our oceans; the atmospheric poisoning and creation of “dead zones” (places that are not longer habitable) are annihilating our home, the planet upon which we live. This summer in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, there will be an international environmental conference called the Earth Summit. Every major (and minor) country on the face of this planet will be represented at this concerned gathering of nation-states as they discuss the present condition and ftiture of our globe, Mother Earth. One nation, however, has yet to confirm that it will be represented at this conference. The United States. President Bush has not yet announced that the United States of America will be at Earth Summit. How can there be such a setting aside of different ideologies, policies, governments, religions and philosophies, all for the purpose of the health of our planet, without the U.S.A.? The time has come when we must make our awareness known, and put it to work for the good of all. K.L. HENDERSON Washington, Va.

Supervisors Continued from page A-1 He said trash should be put in a place that is manned, with regular hours. Mark Malek agreed, saying the dumpster sites are better than they were but the county should find a more central site between Sperryville and Washington. County Administrator John McCarthy said the county could get money to buy a dumpster site by selling the Scrabble site. The county owns the Scrabble site. The Huntly site is on a VDOT right-of-way. Mr. Warner said attended the school at Scrabble and he hoped the land could be saved as a historic site. Hampton District representative Mike Massie thanked the people for coming out to voice their opinions. He noted that there were more people present for the hearing on the dumpster sites than the school budget. “It seems our priorities are wrong when trash is more important than education,” he said. He noted that state law requires a public hearing before the board could sell the Scrabble site. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said the board would have to do something about the sites because they could become contaminated. “If we are ever hit with a Superfund cleanup, it would bankrupt the county,” he added. Mr. Gilkey said the board will try to do what it right for the county and will let the public know the options before making a final decision. Earlier Monday the supervisors heard a report on the proposed regional landfill at Page County. Mr. McCarthy said the three counties, Page, Warren and Rappahannock, were still exploring the costs of operating such a facility. He said it appeared it would save the county $6 to $8 per ton to go with the regional landfill, but “there are a great many hurdles still to go.” He said they are trying to get more definite figures on the cost. The supervisors appointed William Young to another term on the Library Board and also agreed to try to find other members. Currently no member of the Library Board is from Jackson or Wakefield districts. They tabled making appointments to the Recreational Facilities Authority and set June 1 for public hearings on appointments to the School Board. The terms of Jackson District representative Beverly Massie and Piedmont District representative Francis Thornton expire June 30. At the evening meeting the supervisors continued the public hearing on plans for the expansion at the Blue Rock Inn because the Planning Commission has not acted on the application. Neighbor John Hartline said he would support the application because the changes so far have been “an improvement to the area.” The board agreed to renew the Thornton River Agricultural and Forestal District.

Young playwrights work on independent project We have some budding playwrights at Rappahannock Elementary. According to Eleanor Katz, a group of her seventh graders recently wrote a one-act play, “Hurricane Claire.” The students are Marie Andreoni, John Arnold, Adam Bouffard, Amber Charles, Melissa Dodson, Nathan Flinchum, Jenni Foster, Holly Gangel and Laura Schadler. They have been studying legends and fables (which, as we know, teach lessons or give morals to a story). Mrs. Katz wanted to challenge the students and came up with the idea of writing a play and performing and filming the final project. To fit into their studies, they created a play that deals with hardships and that contains a moral lesson. The plot has several teens caught in a hurricane while on a cruise ship. The hardship brings them close to each other through the need for survival. The students designed and built the set and manufactured their costumes. After filming the staged performance, the videotape will be available for other classes to view. Mrs. Katz said the students will be competing the project on their own with little assistance and during their own pull-out time.

Budget Continued from page A-1 RAWL’s program of keeping dogs for a longer time to try to find homes for them, but he did not feel the taxpayers should pay for it. At the Monday meeting the board also decided to cut $4,767 from the library’s request. That would mean the county would be contributing the same amount as this year. Mr. Massie noted that in the past the Friends of the Rappahannock Library had paid for much of the cost of operating the library, but now the library only counts on them for capital improvements. He suggested the Library Board try to manage without an increase from the county. The board cut $2,040 by agreeing not to fund requests from Rappahannock Legal Services and the Service for Abused Families. Those organizations are funded partly by state and federal monies and serve clients from Rappahannock and other counties in Planning District 9. The board voted to pick up the entire cost of the state retirement system for constitutional officers, their staffs and other full-time county employees. This will mean a 5 percent increase in take-home pay for those employees who have been contributing five percent toward their retirement. They have not had salary increases since 1990. This will cost the county about $48,000 this year. Mr. Massie opposed this increase saying it was a new cost to the county that would increase over time as salaries increase. He said he did favor paying the full cost of health insurance even though it is due to increase 17 percent this year. Mr. Massie said this was another in stance of the state pushing costs onto the county. “If the state had given 2,3 or 4 percent increases, we wouldn’t be here,” he said. Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins noted that the school budget includes having the school system pay the retirement for school system employees and she felt county employees should have the same benefit. Mr. Massie noted that the school employees have only 52 percent of their health insurance covered. Mr. Gilkey said he favored leaving the retirement contribution in the budget. “I think it would be money well spent to keep harmony among the employees.” Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes made the motion to pay the retirement system benefit. The motion passed 4 to 1 with Mr. Massie voting “No.” The board agreed to add $600 to the budget to help the 4-H Center retire the debt it has for furnishings at the center outside Front Royal. Mr. Massie left the meeting Monday night as the supervisors were preparing to discuss the advertised tax rate. Accountant Wally Cox advised the board to advertise a 50 cent tax rate. To advertise a higher rate would require that they run a rather confusing ad several times because the increase would come in a year following the reassessment. Mr. Cox also said that the 50 cent rate would cover most of the ongoing costs of government, with the surplus being drawn down mostly to cover non-recurring expenses. He noted that the county would still have over $1 million in surplus, more than 10 percent of the budget. The supervisors agreed to advertise the budget for public hearing at 7 p.m. June 1 at the courthouse. They will meet later in June to actually adopt the budget.

Bonnie Sue Baldwin Bonnie Sue Baldwin joins Big K as an ad rep Country music radio station WKCW in Warrenton, Big K Radio, announces the appointment of Bonnie Sue Baldwin of Sperryville as an ;account executive. She is a mother and grandmother with a large extended family of Kenneth, Jason, Andy and Sandra, with two children, Ashleigh and Samantha. Husband Danny Ray and sons own and operate Baldwin’s WestEnd Service on U.S. 211 in Sperryville. U1 guess the best part about working at Big K is meeting the nice people at businesses in Fauquier, Rappahannock, Page amd Culpeper counties. Everyone has been so nice to me ... not to mention working at the oldest country music station in the country,” said Mrs. Baldwin. Big K general manager Robert Watson said, “She beats anything I’ve ever seen, she keeps me busy making commercials to go on the air eight hours a day, and she truly cares about her client businesses, and I guess they sense that. I wish Bonnie Sue continued success.” Panthers now 3 games from perfection By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock N*w« Staff Writer How good is the Rappahannock High girls softball team? They won two more games this week, one by 24 runs, putting their season record at 13-0,11-0 in the Bull Run District. If the Lady Panthers can take two of their last three games, at Brentsville May 8, at Central May 11, and at Strasburg May 14, they will get a first-round bye in the regional tournament and host a second-round game. That would leave them only one win away from a state tournament berth, no matter what the outcome of the district tournament, set for May 18 and May 20 in Stanley, Page County. “The girls’ goal right now is to go 16-0,” said Coach Renee Leake. “It’s very motivating. They’re playing to win.” They won twice last week, 19-7 April 29 against Clarke County and 25-1 May 1 versus George Mason. (Although there’s a 15-run slaughter rule in high school softball, there’s also a requirement that teams play at least five innings.) 'The girls'goal right now is to go 16-0. It's very motivating. They're playing to win.' —- Renee Leake RCHS softball coach Against Clarke Rappahannock had 15 hits, including performances at the plate by Marsha Freeman (3for-5 with 3 RBIs) and Sherron Boddie (2-for-3 with a double). Susan Payne pitched the entire game for the 12th straight time. Payne’s 13th complete game and 13th win came against George Mason. She held the Mustangs to only two hits, striking out five. Her season ERA now stands at 3.41. The Mason game was a chance for the entire squad to pad batting stats. Leah Marlett went 3-for-5 RAA fields come alive in second week of play The second week of play for the Rappahannock Athletic Association saw the fields in Amissville and Sperryville filled with youth baseball action. In Miyor League action, the Pirates overcame the Red Sox 7-2 behind the 3-RBI effort of Jona Bona and five strike-outs by Travis Dodson. For the Red Sox, pitcher Jon Heddleston threw out a batter and collected a hit. The Pirates also won their second game this week, beating the Orioles 3-1 to increase their record to 3-0. The Orioles fell to 1-1. For the Pirates, Ricky Butler hit a home run and Chris Sealock had a single. Jesse Leach doubled to lead the Orioles at the plate. Ricky Butler threw 10 strikeouts for the Pirates, and the infield put together a triple-play in the fifth inning. Chad Bolton struck out four on the mound for the O’s. The Cubs outlasted the Tigers 14-13 in T-Ball competition. The Tigers’ Brian Dental clocked two home runs and anchored the team’s defense at shortstop. Dean Lawrence played well in center field. In the other reported T-Ball game this week, the Cubs and the Li’l Orioles tied in a slugfest, 20-20. For the Cubs, Michael Dann had two taters and caught a fly ball. Terry Grigsby also had two homers and played great on defense. Jason Paul made numerous outs on first base. The Li’l Orioles' Katie Reynolds had two homers and made four outs playing second base. Timmy Muldoon had two homers and made five outs at third. Jamie Deal’s day at the plate featured a triple and a single.

Baseball Panthers collect fifth victory The Rappahannock High baseball team beat the George Mason Mustangs last week for the second time this year, getting 12 hits in a 10-5 pasting in Falls Church. The win, together with a loss to Clarke at home April 20, put the Panthers’ season record at 5-7-1, 47-1 in the district. Last year the Panthers won only three games all year; this season Rappahannock has an outside shot at making the fourteam Bull Run District playoffs. J.C. Welch started on the mound against George Mason on May 1, then Kevin Daymude came in in relief to collect the win. Second baseman Richie Lilian!, a junior, was d-for-4 at the plate with a double and two RBIs to lead the team offensively. In the Clarke game, Rappahan A day of sieepUchastnX to benefit the Perinatal I Center at Georgetown Unhxnity Medical CenteA ** - - nock gave up four runs in the third inning, and “ran out of gas after that,” said Coach Mike Tupper. The final score was Clarke 11, Rappahannock 4. The Clarke Eagles are in second place in the district, and the win gave them a sweep of Rappahannock. “They’re a good team, but the score should have been closer,” said Coach Tupper. “We made some terrible errors.” Hunter Foster went three innings, taking the loss. Daymude came in in relief and finished up. Remaining games on the schedule are at Brentsville May 8, at Central May 11, and at Strasburg May 14. The home game against SJMount Jackson May 5 was too late for deadlines. “We probably have to win all of the rest of our games to have a chance (at the playoffs),” said Coach Tupper. With the remainder of the contests away games, that may work in the Panthers’ favor. “We’ve been playing good ball on the road. I hope the guys have gotten their second wind,” Coach Tupper said.

CURRIE Rappahannock Nawi Staff Writer Cynthia “Cindy” Stamps is cleaning house. Instead of throwing things away, she’s placing them with care on display in her new shop, Morning Glory Antiques, at the comer of Porter and Gay streets in Washington. Inside the tiny two rooms of the ancient packing house are things from Mrs. Stamps’ own collection— things like her mother’s music box, a chair Jean Harlow sat in and a barrel back chair with pinned-striped upholstery. Once a professional model, Mrs. Stamps began collecting antiques 30 years ago. It all started with a cathedral chair—the same chair that sits just inside the doorway at the shop. A casual look around the shop reveals silver, jewelry, linens, furniture, clocks, wallhangings, kitchenware, cabinets, flowers, lace—all the things you’d expect in a country antique shop. The shop positively drips with items ranging in age from a century old to manufactured in the ’HOs. “I love antiques,” said Mrs. Stamps, a tall woman with dark hair, and that love has become a vocation. Her substantial home in Arlington was once filled with what’s now the shop inventory. Now the items occupy space in the shop, ready to greet visitors. Last fall Mrs. Stamps and her husband noticed the building for Cindy Stamps rent. Weekend residents of the county, the couple was planning to retire here, selling their Northern Virginia home. “We noticed the shop for rent and I said, ‘Hey, how about a shop?’ ” she recalled. Morning Glory grew out of her desire to keep some of her things, even though her weekend retreat in Woodville was already furnished. They opened the shop in December. In addition to things from her home, she has added several paintings and other pieces of art, all on consignment.* Mrs. Stamps said she has no shop experience, hut her art-school education has come in handy. She created and made the decorative tags and the sign that are Morning (dory’s trademarks. She said her store is a “wonderful medium for creative expression." The shop’s name, Morning Glory Antiques, has an interesting history. “It’s sort of serendipitous,” she said with a smile, recalling the story of the morning-glory-blue 1955 Ford truck she brought, several years ago. "I always wanted an old truck,” she said, adding she told her husband, it was for their “antique shop. And we had no plans for this shop.” Though the first months were slow and customers infrequent, Mrs. Stamps said her optimism has not faded and her hopes for spring are blooming. Mrs. Stamps said she has “an idea of prices. I am a collector.” In one corner of the shop a drawing table stands. Mrs. Stamps hopes to do sketches of the town and area for visitors to buy. She also has plans to add furniture on the patio for a summer rejtose in the shade. “It’s just so pretty here,” she said, adding there is nothing that’s "not pretty in Washington. Why, even the jail is pretty." The shop is open weekends under guidance of Darryl Atkins of Washington. Plunky's sax to play RAAC show May 23 James Plunky Branch, a world-class saxophonist, will perform his unique blend of jazz, rhythm and blues, African music, reggae, blues and rap in a concert sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC), 8 p.m. Saturday, May 23 in The Theatre at Washington, Va.

On his latest recording, “Move Into the Light” (N.A.M.E. Brand Records), Plunky has elevated to new heights world oneness music, urban contemporary jazz, new dance funk, hip-hop and saxy rap. His accomplishments are as varied as his musics. Over the past two years Plunky has enthralled audiences across America and internationally. He has been a studio musician for television’s top rated “The Cosby Show”; toured Ghana, West Africa, for that nation’s National Commission on Children with his group, Plunky and Oneness; opened shows for Ray Charles, Najee and Yellowjackets; taught courses at Virginia Union and Virginia Commonwealth universities; been an artist-in-residence with public school systems; and continued to tour the state of Virginia under the auspicies of the Virginia Commission for the Arts. The release of "Move Into the Light” and touring with his outstanding band and show will surely move Plunky into the limelight of even more international acclaim. Throughout the ’70s and ’80s J. Plunky Branch has moved his life and his groups through a hectic and exciting expedition of musical diversity, thrilling club and concert goers with his R&B, jazz, funk, fusion, urbanpop, African, go-go and reggae—almost every kind of sax mastery contemporary music can offer. A retrospective of this ongoing musical adventure begins in the restless music scenes of San Francisco and New York City. The journey subsequently shifts to concerts in Washington, D.C., for visiting dignitaries; to festivals in New Orleans for the World’s Fair; to all-night jams in West Africa with the likes of Fela A. Kuti at the Extended Jazz Family; to university campuses for solo performances and lectures; and home to Richmond for the state’s Commission for the Arts tours. Plunky has entertained and taught thousands, and in the process, he has developed a broad-based following. During his 1987 West African tour, critics proclaimed Plunky “one of the greatest living saxophonists.” Plunky cut his musical teeth in San Francisco with South African expatriot Ndikho Xaba and his group, The Natives. Then Plunky formed the group, Jqju (later to be named Oneness of Juju). Bike-a-thon benefits children's hospital This year’s St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital’s Wheels for Life Bike-a-thon will Ik- held 9 a.m.noon May 9 at the Caledonia Farms Road in Flint Hill. Volunteer workers and riders are needed to raise funds for childhood cancer. St. Jude’s Research Center was founded by Danny Thomas. Riders are s|w>nsored per mile completed. All riders turning in money receive a certificate. Those raising get a T-shirt; those raising $75, a sportsbag. “We really need lots of riders, since the center operates from public support, primarily," said Steve Young of Sperryville, one of Virginia's first unrelated Imne-marrow recipients. “You don’t have to just bike it, either," said Mr. Young. “You can walk, run or wheelchair the course as well." For details or sponsor sheets call Mr. Young at 987-9517 or coordinator Jon Heddleston at 987-81U7. Volunteers keep cancer society's cause alive By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock New* .Staff Writer Each year during April, American Cancer Society Month, county residents remember the society as faithful volunteers remind them, taking donations to support the non-profit organization. The money collected is directed to various fields including research and education, with the amount collected in the county returning to directly the county. Besides the monetary donations to science, the American Cancer Society has various support and educational programs designed to help those stricken with cancer—a disease over 26,400 Americans will develop this year alone. But for some, such as Carol Hales of Huntly, the society is more than a four-week session in taking donations—it’s a full-time volunteer position. Mrs. Hales is Rappahannock County’s Reach for Recovery representative. Each year she visits dozens of mastectomy patients, both in the hospital and at home, to offer support through education and appearance. In the early 1950s, a mastectomy patient, Terese Lasser, realized there needed to be more done for women who had just undergone such surgery. She formed the group that sends women—once mastectomy patients though well-dressed, poised and self-assured, in appearance and attitude—to visit other mastectomy patients offering an immediate role-model, support person and hope for the future. By the end of the 1960s, Reach for Recovery had joined forces with the American Cancer Society. Today, there are thousands of representatives like Mrs. Hales working through hospitals across the United States. “When I was in the hospital recovering, a woman called on me. She was poised and confident and for someone who had had such devasting surgery, she offered me great hope," said Mrs. Hales, adding that within just a few years she became a representative, also. “I wanted to be like her,” she said with a smile, alluding to the woman who visited her in the hospital 12 years ago. After several training sessions, Mrs. Hales began her campaign working through Warren County Hospital in Front Royal. “When I go into a hospital room 1 want to give the same impression,” she said, a tall woman of immaculate appearance. In Borne cases, the patient will not be visited in the hospital and the first visit with a representative is at home. She said that before entering the room she offers a "prayer for guidance that I might meet the needs of that particular woman.” “You don’t ever lose that apprehension. It’s just as scary for me as for anyone,” she said, adding no one wants to go through such surgery. Offering a first ray of hope, she helps patients “explore new ways to get help and helpful services” besides helping them fill out forms for financial assistance. She instructs patients in exercise, dishes out general information and gives helpful hints. After the first visit, Mrs. Hales makes a second visit—either by phone or in person. Most of the women she visits are in Rappahannock and Warren counties. After the doctor requests such a visit, Mrs. Hales appears with information. Patients are not visited unless doctors request the visit. "It is giving something back that was given to me,” she said with a smile. All information is free of charge, supported by the American Cancer Society. This year, the group has sent representatives into each magisterial district to collect funds door-to-door, hoping to double their last year’s donation amount of $3,000. I “This year we are better organized and have more help,” said chairman of the Rappahannock chapter, Carol Miller. For information of to make a donation or a memorial call Mrs. Miller at 675-3691. Those interested in mailing in a contribution or memorial should send donations to Box 3, Washington, Va. 22747. Note that these donations ar for the American Cancer Society, not similar-sounding organizations. l

Lamb's popularity brings versatile entree to the dinner table By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer Lamb is more available in grocery stores today than it has been in years. In fact, you may have seen some surprising cuts packaged - such as chops, ground lamb, kabob pieces, or ribs - alongside the more traditional lamb shanks or a whole leg of lamb. Healthful food: Lamb is a valuable member of the meat group, for it is not only a source of good nutrition, it also adds interest and appetite appeal to mealtime. The protein in lamb and all red meats is vital to good health for it is complete; that is, it contains all the essential amino acids in the proper proportions to build, maintain and repair body tissue. The B-vitamins found in lamb - thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B-6 and B-12 - help the body make better use of other nutrients in food. They also help the body use energy and promote good vision, normal appetite and healthy skin and nervous system. While lamb is high in these many necessary nutrients, it is relatively low in calories. A three-ounce serving of cooked, lean lamb contains just 221 calories, yet provides 40 percent of the protein requirement, 17 percent of the iron requirement and 31 percent of the required zinc for an adult male. HOME ECONOMICS This high nutrient density (ratio of nutrients to calories) makes lamb an excellent choice for everyone, even those counting calories. Lamb selection: The juicy tenderness and delicate flavor of today’s lamb make it a favorite selection for a wide variety of occasions, ranging from special gourmet feasts to economical family suppers. You may find some lamb labeled “spring lamb,” which indicates that it was produced between March and October. While lamb was once available primarily in the spring, it can now be enjoyed year-round. When selecting lamb, look for meat that is pinkish-red and has a velvety texture. Since lamb is from young animals that have had little time to store fat, there is little mar bling and only a thin layer of fat around the outside of the meat. The bones should be porous and reddish, indicating a young animal. Lamb leg: With more than 40 lamb cuts to choose from, you’ll find many that will meet your needs and fit your budget. One of the most familiar and popular cuts is the leg of lamb, cut in a variety of ways - American-style, French-style, boneless, rolled, and butterflied. For the smaller family, the lamb leg is available as sirloin half or shank half roasts, center leg roasts, steaks, and sirloin leg chops. Lapib lion: From the loin section, there are popular loin chops (easily recognized by their T-shaped bone), boneless double loin chops, loin roasts, and boneless loin roasts. Other cuts: Cost-conscious consumers will appreciate the many economical lamb cuts that are available. Cuts from the shoulder section, such as blade and arm chops, shoulder roasts and cubes for kabobs and stew, are excellent choices for budget-stretching meals. Other economy cuts include lamb breasts, spare ribs, riblets, neck slices, shanks, and ground lamb. Care and storage: Wrapping. Lamb should be handled with care at home to preserve its fine flavor and high quality. Place fresh lamb as quickly as possible in the meat com partment or coldest part of the refrigerator. Lamb prepackaged for self-service can be stored in its original wrapping; cuts not prepackaged can also be stored in the market wrapping paper. Cooked lamb should be wrapped or covered and placed in the refrigerator within one hour after cooking. Refrigeration. At normal refrigerator temperatures (36 to 40 degrees F.), most lamb cuts can be stored for three to five days. Ground lamb should be refrigerated no longer than one or two days, while cooked lamb can be stored for up to four or five days. If longer storage is necessary, lamb should be frozen. Lamb cookery: Since lamb is naturally tender, most cuts can be prepared conventionally using dry heat cooking methods. Rib, loin, shoulder, sirloin, and leg cuts are excellent when roasted, broiled, or panbroiled. Chops cut one-inch thick or more should be broiled; those cuts less than one-inch thick are usually best panbroiled. Ground lamb may be roasted (baked) as loaves, broiled, or panbroiled as patties or browned and included in casseroles or other combination dishes. To insure maximum tenderness, cuts from the neck, shank, and breast are usually cooked by moist heat methods, such as braising or cooking in liquid, although riblets from the breast can be broiled.

The fell has usually been removed at the market from smaller cuts such as chops. At one time, lamb was only served well done, now more people are enjoying lamb cooked to rare (140 degrees F.), medium (160 degrees F.), or well done (170 degrees F.). To determine doneness in roasts and legs, a roast meat thermometer should be used. Since the lamb will continue to cook after it has been removed from the oven, the thermometer should register about 5 degrees F. lower than the desired doneness. For easier carving, allow the lamb to set 15 to 20 minutes. Lamb outdoors: Lamb can offer a delicious change of pace at a cookout. Since cooking on a grill over charcoal briquets or a gas unit is a type of broiling, cuts that can be broiled indoors can be easily be cooked outdoors. Especially tasty on the grill are lamb chops, riblets, and cubes for kabobs. Those with a rotisserie unit on their grill can also enjoy lamb roasts outdoors. For best results, choose boneless lamb shoulder roasts or boneless leg roasts that are compact and symmetrical in shape. Lamb outdoors is delicious simply seasoned or, for variety, marinate it before broiling or brush with a favorite sauce or glaze as it cooks. Recipes: This Week’s recipes are from Linda Dietel, owner of Over Jordan Farm, one of the lamb producers in Rappahannock County.

Jeanne Wyss Jeanne Thobum Wyss, 82, died Saturday, May 2 at Mont Vue Nursing Home in Luray. Mrs. Wyss, wife of Col. Arnold V. Wyss, was born in Oklahoma City, Okla., Nov. 2,1909, the daughter of Joseph Bradfield and Caroline Conwell Thobum. Her father was one time secretary of Oklahoma Territorial Board of Agriculture, later a history instructor at the University of Oklahoma, followed by many years with the Oklahoma Historical Society. He authored or co-authored several books on Oklahoma history. He was the subject of a biography published by the Oklahoma Heritage Association in 1980 titled “Joseph B. Thobum, Pioneer Historian and Archaeologist.” He was a long time member of the SAR and served as Captain and Major in the Oklahoma National Guard. Mrs. Wyss’ mother was prominent in the DAR and served for 25 years as the Oklahoma State Secretary of the Womens Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Both parents were graduates of Kansas State University. Mrs. Wyss and her husband established the Joseph B. Thobum Memorial Award given annually by the Oklahoma Historical Society as its premier award to the state’s outstanding high school student of Oklahoma history. Mrs. Wyss was the grand niece of James Mills Thobum, the first Methodist Bishop of India, and of his sister, Isabella, once characterized by Time magazine as “one of the greatest woman missionaries of all time.” The Isabella Thoburn College of the University of Lucknow, named in her honor, is the first woman’s college in Asia. She is memorialized by a statue in the Washington Cathedral. The Wysses were married in Oklahoma City, Nov. 8, 1930. She and her husband graduated from Oklahoma A&M, now OSU, in 1931. Mrs. Wyss was a member of Pi Beta Phi college sorority for more than 60 years. Prior to her husband’s call to Army duty before World War II, she, with her husband and children, lived in a number of places in Oklahoma and Arkansas. During the years of her husband’s absence in the ETO, she and their two daughters lived in Santa Fe, N.M. Her husband’s first post-war assignment was to then Camp Lee, Va. There she was commended by the commanding general for the establishment of the post’s first Girl Scout troop and the founding of a thrift shop. Proceeds from the thrift shop sale of donated items were used for charitable purposes providing assistance to hardship cases among enlisted personnel. Mrs. Wyss accompanied her husband on assignments to Germany, Maxwell AFB in Alabama, the Pentagon, Philadelphia, Schenectady, N.Y. and again to Fort Lee. She served as a Gray Lady in several military hospitals including the Navy Hospital in Philadelphia.

GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met at the Culpeper Methodist Church on Tuesday, April 14, with the regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham, presiding, and with Mrs. William J. Nenner, Mrs. J.H. White and Mrs. Walter A. Clark serving as hostesses. The topic for the afternoon’s program was the American Indian. Mrs. Harding Thomas, chairman of the American Indian Committee, spoke of four Indian women and the contributions they had made in history and to further the Indian cause. Rose Campbell, an Oklahoma Indian, Laura Somersal from California and Pablita Legarde," an artist of Indian life, all served for many years on the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C. The fourth is known to many— Sacajawea, guide and interpreter for the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Northwest in the early 1800s. Following her. Culpeper’s Maj. Claude Guinn, U.S. Army (Ret.), husband of a DAR member and avidly interested in the American Indians, spoke of the history of them in this area. There were many villages in the Rappahannock, Culpeper and Madison county areas and the last fullblooded American Indian in Culpeper died in 1870. About 8,000-10,000 years ago, they came to this area, probably entering this country across what is now the Bering Strait. In 1830, the president, Andrew Jackson, signed a decree that all Indians would be moved west of the Mississippi River, costing over $100,000 to carry out this decree. Four Seminole Indians from Florida came to Washington, largely on foot, to try and get this decree changed, but to no avail, and their route is now known in this area as the Seminole Trail. Of interest, too, is that 27 states have Indian names, so have many rivprs in this area, and that Indian viay /, ivvz languages were used in coded messages during World War II. Mrs. Randolph Dixon, first vice regent, read the president general’s message in which Mrs. Yochim spoke of the special events in the DAR which had occurred in April - the decision to hold the DAR Continental Congress in April and that the cornerstone of the Memorial Constitution Hall was laid in April. Highlights of the Virginia DAR State Conference held in Richmond in March were given by Mrs. Philip Brewer, the chapter's delegate. That this is the centennial of the Virginia DAR was celebrated throughout the conference events. A memorial service is always held at the beginning of the Conference and Culpeper’s Sally Ann Board was honored at the service. The State Regent, Mrs. H.T.N. Graves, had as one of her projects during her three-year term, a marble plaque to be installed at the\ State Capitol honoring the Virginia signers of the U.S. Constitution - James Blair, James Madison and George Washington. This plaque was dedicated at the Capitol and Mrs. Graves honored. On the next meeting day, May 12, there will be the bus trip. rL RAPPAHAMOCK Business & Service iliiliii^OIr eeiorpi111 70:1/675-3338 1 Only $3.95 per week for a 1 inch space!
