George Allen can’t wait to take on Mary Sue Terry for the governorship in 1994. In fact, he would have declared already if he didn’t have to fulfill his duties as a member of Congress. “As I’ve stated,” said Rep. Allen, “I intend to run for governor.” A formal announcement, he said, won’t come until after the fall elections. He never missed a vote in the General Assembly during nine years as Earlysville’s representative, and he wants to maintain the same record in Congress. Although the Friends of George Allen has been established to do the early organizational work a gubernatorial bid requires, for now Rep. Allen is a full-time congressman. “Stonewall Jackson always said, ’Do your duty,’ and that’s what I’ve told my staff,” he said. Rep. Allen joins Fairfax businessman Earle Williams and Shenandoah County’s Del. Clinton Miller as potential Republican nominees. Attorney General Terry and Lt. Gov. Don Beyer are expected to battle for the Democratic nomination. In a two-hour interview'*.?]^ ArCom Newspapers editors at' the* \ company headquarters at Dulles Airport Friday, Rep. Allen discussed his ambitions, nugor issues facing the state today, and the frustration of being a member of Congress at a time when the institution is in crisis. Congressman Allen suffered «jt r, the hands of the congressional rejf.fitricting done by Richmond’s kWemocrats during the last station. He ended up in the same district as longtime incumbent and Richmond Republican Thomas Bliley. “It breaks my heart and my wife’s heart,” said Rep. Allen about leaving Congress after one term. “. . . .If I’m going to give up my seat, I’d rather [give it to] him than anyone else.” While some of the heat has dissipated from the redistricting furor, the congressman has not forgotten U.S. Rep. George Allen about it. “I don’t think it will be the overwhelming issue of the [gubernatorial] campaign, but it will have some impact,” he said. Six months in D.C. haven’t left Rep. Allen out of touch with the state’s politics—his comments Friday showed he has given a run for the state house a good deal of ’> fought.

Making the commonwealth particularly attractive, he noted, is the fact that Virginia is the northernmost “right-to-work” state. “John Dalton is my model as a governor, so far as economic promotion,” he said. His two budget priorities, said Rep. Allen, are law enforcement and education.

Rllfthlnnock Wm Stuff WrIUt Two issues concerning the National Park Service (NPS) in the 7th District of Virginia have attracted the efforts of U.S. Rep. George Allen. In one case, he’s trying to get state-maintained roads that pass through Shenandoah National Forest deeded over to the Virginia Department of Transportation at no cost to the state. The other matter: NPS wants to designate large portions of Culpeper and Fauquier counties around Brandy Station as eligible land for the National Register of Historic Places. Rep. Allen wants that designation to depend on a vote of the local boards of supervisors. The road issue covers sections of state roads in Madison, Page, Albemarle, Augusta, Greene and Rockingham counties. According to federal law, if the state takes land for roads out of a national forest, the state must reimburse the federal government with an equal amount of land. “The state shouldn’t have to give land back to them, so we need an exception to the law," the first-term congressman said last week. In the Brandy Station controversy, plans for a giant development by Lee Sammis has galvanized history buffs, propSm PARK ISSUES, p.A-7 TV program becomes part of curriculum By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannork N*w* Staff Writer The School Board voted unanimously to participate in Channel 1 television programming at Rappahannock High School next year. The company will install television monitors in each classroom and a satellite dish at the school. In exchange the school system agrees to show a the company’s 10-minute daily news show. Two minutes of the time are commercials for such products as snack food, sports shoes and clothes that appeal to teenagers. School Superintendent David Gangel said he was approached about the programming several years ago and turned it down because he didn’t want to give up instructional time. He said since then he has visited schools that have the programming and learned that it is possible to show it early in the morning before class time begins. Dr. Gangel said it is also possible to use the equipment so students can broadcast morning announcements into the classrooms. He recommended that the board agree to subscribe to Channel 1 providing that it not come out of instructional time and that the school system be allowed to preview the programs to make sure they are compatible with the Family Life Education curriculum. He said the contract stipulates that the high school can withdraw from the service if it wishes at no cost. Dr. Gangel said many school systems in Virginia subscribe to Channel 1 and they seem to be happy with it. He added that students will be required to come into their first-period class 10 minutes earlier to view the program. The board also agreed to allow the Extension Service to use school buses to transport children to the 4-H Center for summer camps and possibly for swimming instruction. Dr. Gangel recommended they be allowed to lease the buses that are scheduled to be taken out of the fleet and sold at auction. Instead of being sold this spring, they will be kept until fall and sold after their summer use. Sm SCHOOLS, p. A-7 r 'Celebrity' waiters sling hash for hearts By BOB SCOTT Kappahuinork Nrw* Contributing Writer Some of the better known citizens of our Rappahannock community will be enjoying a “hearthealthy” dinner on May 30 at the Washington Fire Department hall. But they won’t be eating dinner. They’ll be serving it to some of their friends and neighbors. It’s all related to what has proven to be one of the American Heart Association's most successful and fun-filled fund-raising events, “Celebrity Waiter a la Heart.” Co-hostesses Beverly Atkins and Barbara Burke are also local celebrities which (of course) enabled them to recruit their friends to throw caution to the wind and to disregard dignity as they make themselves somewhat outrageous by “slinging hash." Of course, the specially prepared “hearthealthy” meal will be much more enticing than “hash” and well-worth the tax-free price of the ticket donation. The number of tickets is limited due to hall capacity so you are encouraged to contact one of the distinguished “waiters” to reserve a place at one of their tables. The roster of “celebrity waiters” who will be soliciting your tips as they serve your meals and as they serenade you, dance for you, tell you jokes or do favorite magic tricks includes: Diane Bruce, Walter Day, Pat Davis, Fran Eldred, Frances Foster, Doug McCabe, Frank Reynolds, Bob Scott, Jimmy Swindler, John Henry Woodward and L.G.

Woodward. Two adults and four juveniles were charged, and all are enrolled at the high school. Charged were Roger Brown, 18, of Flint Hill; Greg Pendleton, 18, of Amissville; and four boys under 18 years old, according to Sheriff Woodward. The sheriff said the case will be heard in Rappahannock Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court because of the age of the victim. Brown and Pendleton, he said, are being tried in that court, but as adults. In other police and court news this week: • A mysterious car fire that killed a Conde man in the early morning hours of May 1 apparently started accidentally, Fauquier County Sheriff Joe Higgs said Tuesday. Neil Jacob Burke, 23, died of smoke inhalation in a fire that destroyed his 1988 Pontiac on Route 688 north of Orlean, Sheriff Higgs said. “As a result of laboratory tests,” he added, “we have established that alcohol was a contributing factor in this death.” The fire was so intense, and the car was burned so completely, that the precise cause remains unknown. "The suspected point of origin was within the passenger compartment of the vehicle,” the Fauquier sheriff said. “We have ruled out the possibility of foul play, and there was no evidence of accelerants at the point of origin,” ruling out arson as a cause. Sheriff Higgs said. The car was found in the southbound travel lane of Route 688, just north of the Route 647 intersection at Jerry’s Shop, by a passing motorist. The Orlean Volunteer Fire Department extinguished the flames and discovered a body inside the car. The car’s transmission was in neutral with the parking brake set, and the driver’s seat was partially reclined, leading to speculation that Burke stopped the car and fell asleep sometime before the fire started. That, however, remains only a theory, and Sheriff Higgs said the sequence of events leading to the fire will probably never be conclusively established. Identification of Burke’s body was made by evidence developed during the investigation, Sheriff Higgs said, including the car’s registration and interviews with witnesses who saw him earlier that night. Evidence gathered by investigators from the Sheriffs Office and the Virginia State Police, and analysis by the state forensics lab, also contributed to the determination. • James Franklin Pullen, 45, of Castleton, was found guilty of manufacturing marijuana and pleaded guilty to possession of between a half-ounce and five pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute in Rappahannock Circuit Court on Monday, May 11. Judge Carleton Penn found Pullen guilty of the manufacturing charge, and Pullen then entered a guilty plea to the second count. The judge sentenced him to five years for each conviction, ordered the two sentences to run consecutively, then suspended the second sentence, leaving Pullen five years to serve. • John Krutilla of Old Hollow reported to the Rappahannock Sheriffs Office that someone broke into his Route 612 cabin during the last two weeks and took a lamp, some r i Real Estate m Eileen M. Day REALTOR WHEN HOME BECOMES A BUSINESS Your home becomes a business if you decide to rent it out and move to another one. The costs of running the property are subtracted from the rent to determine the net income from the operation - just as in any other business. Among the expenses that can be charged oft are interest on the mortgage, maintenance, agent's fees, utilities if you pay them, insurance premiums and depreciation. If you sell a house you rented as against a home occupied by the owner - there are important tax differences. Depreciation claimed must be added to the sales price for taxes. Also, you can't defer the profit from the sale by buying another house, however, you can charge off a loss on the sale against your income for the year. Tax-wise, renting out your home is a whole new ball game.

Saturday night, said the sheriff. Charles Stringfellow, 29, of West Virginia, and Terry DeWayne Brown, 26, of Richardsville, both suffered cuts to the head during a fight at a residence in Washington. Both were examined by doctors—Brown was taken by ambulance to Culpeper Hospital. They were both charged with misdemeanor assault. • Robert Keel, 20, of Flint Hill, was charged with reckless driving by Trooper M.E. Baker after an accident in Old Hollow at 6:15 p.m. May 10, said Sgt. G. A. Morris of the State Police. Keel was southbound on Route 612, eight-tenths of a mile north of U.S. 211-522, when he ran off the left side of the road and hit several trees. The driver was injured.

Property taxes form the base of county government budget By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The largest source of income for the county budget comes from property taxes. Of these taxes most comes from real estate, about $2.6 million. Another $638,000 comes from personal property taxes. Smaller amounts come from public service corporation taxes, taxes on mobile homes, and interest and penalties on overdue taxes. Of other local taxes, the largest amount, $235,000, is from consumer utility taxes, the $3 charge that appears each month on telephone and electric bills. Another $190,000 is from the local 1 percent sales tax; $140,000 is from the sale of decals for motor vehicles, and smaller amounts come in from such things as the bank francise tax and taxes on recording wills and deeds. Permits, licenses and fines includes building permits, sanitary permits and dog licenses. It also includes some fines collected by the courts for traffic violations. The amount raised by interest depends mostly on interest rates on county funds invested in certificates of deposit. With interest rates dropping, the amount of interest the county earns is dropping also. This revenue category also includes rent from Ki Theatre and Trapezoid for the former Town Hall building. Recovered costs includes reimbursement from other counties and the state for keeping prisoners. It also includes money from the Water and Sewer Authority for the Sperryville sewage treatment plant. The second largest portion of county revenues comes from the state. The portion earmarked for the schools includes basic state aid, the 1 percent of the sales tax that is returned to the county based on school-aged population, and categorical aid for certain programs in the schools. Of the portion for other county expenses, a large percentage is for paying the salaries of the constitutional officers and their deputies. The state sets the salaries for these employees and pays a portion of the salaries, depending on the office. The state doesn’t pick up the cost of fringe benefits or the cost of provid PROPOSED COUNTY BUDGET Costs of Rappahannock government Revenue Sources Property taxes Other local taxes Permits, licenses, fines Revenue from interest and rent Charges for services and recovered costs From the state for schools From the state for other From the federal government From the General Fund surplus $3.33 million 43.3% $696,000 9.1% $100,000 1.3% $56,000 .7% $140,000 1.8% $1.72 million 22.4% $1.06 million 13.8% $346,000 4.5% $234,000 3% Expenditures General government administration Judicial administration Public satety Public works Health and welfare Education Parks recreation and cultural Community development Debt service $411,000 5.3% $142,000 1.8% $872,000 11.3% $722,000 9.4% $587,000 7.6% $4.61 million 60% $63,000 .8% $94,000 1.2% $183,000 2.3% ing office space. The state also provides funds for the Board of Elections and Office of Voter Registration and a share for social services administration and programs. Most of the money from the federal government is for schools. However almost $24,000 is a payment in lieu of taxes because a large part of the county is in the Shenandoah National Park. Education takes the major share of the expense side of the budget— about 60 percent. In addition to the costs of the public schools, this budget category also includes a contribution of $1,408 to Lord Fairfax Community College, an amount based on the number of students at the college from Rappahannock County. Public safety includes the sheriffs and jail budgets, building inspection, animal control, and a contribution to the Fire and Rescue Association. Although public works is a smaller percentage of the budget Talented youth in Marshall Over one-half of the current seventh grade class at Wakefield School in Marshall participated in the 1992 CTY (Center for Talented Youth) Search sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University. The purpose of the search is to seek 7th grade students with exceptional mathematical and/or verbal reasoning aptitude and then provide them with a variety or opportunities that challenge the young students to excel. To participate, the students must already have scored at the 97th percentile on nationally standardized achievement tests. Students then register to take the SAT.

This category covers trash collection, the operation of the county landfill, and maintenance and improvements to county buildings in the courthouse complex. At a budget work session, chief magistrate Fran Eldred said that the offices in the first floor of the Rappahannock Courthouse have little or no heat in winter. County Administrator John McCarthy said he would try to find money in this portion of the budget to make improvements to the heating system during the coming year. Health and welfare involves more money than appears in the county budget. The state’s share of the Virginia Department of Health budget isn’t included. Also, several Social Services programs don’t show in the county budget. Food stamps, the largest such program, doesn’t appear in the county budget except for the cost of administration. General government administration includes the cost of the Board of Supervisors, the county administrator, the Commissioner of Revenue’s and Treasurer’s Offices, election officials and the registrar.

The costs of the commonwealth’s attorney offices are included as are expenses connected with the clerks’ offices. A major portion is an estimate of the cost of caring for juvenile offenders who cannot be put up in the jail and have to be sent to facilities outside the county. However, the salaries of clerks, magistrates and judges are not included. Community development covers such things as the Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals. The county’s share of the cost of the extension office is also included as are the expenses of the Sperryville sewage treatment plant. Parks, recreation and culture is the smallest category in the budget. The cost of operating the library is the major expense in this category. Debt service, at 2.3 percent of the budget, is shrinking. It covers the cost of principal and interest on literary loans that were used to build the schools. The" Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on this budget at 7 p.m. Monday, June 1 in the Rappahannock Courthouse.

She will give a talk for kids at 8 p.m. June 5 at the Rappahannock Library. Mrs. Reeder’s most recent book for young people, “Grandpa’s Mountain,” is set in the 1930s in the area that is now the park. Condensing years of events into a single summer, the book tells the story of the coming of the park and the eviction of the mountain families from the viewpoint of its fictional heroine, 11year-old Carrie. “Shades of Gray,” Mrs. Reeder’s first book for young people, takes place just after the Civil War. Twelve-year-old Will Page, filled with hatred of the Yankees, leaves Winchester and comes to Culpeper County to live with relatives - including an uncle who had refused to fight for the South. “Shbdes of Gray” won the Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction and the Virginia Library Association’s Jefferson Cup Award, as well as other honors. With her husband Jack, Mrs. Reeder has written three non-fiction books for adults. These books, which grew out of the couple’s interest in the park, are “Shenandoah Heritage," “Shenandoah Vestiges,” and “Shenandoah Secrets.” In addition to writing, Mrs. Reeder teaches language arts to primary grade children at an independent school in Washington, D.C. She lives in Glen Echo, Md. Two other guests appearing with Mrs. Reeder are Beth Sutton, author of “A Pony for Keeps,” and J.R.

Until a 1 medical emergency becomes a reality, it is easy to forget about the men and women of Virginia’s EMS agencies who stand re- 1 ady to respond 24 hours a day, every day. May 10-16 has been j set aside as Virginia Emergency Medical Services Week to j honor and recognize volunteer and career EMS agencies. • Many EMS Week special events are planned throughout the state. This special week gives the public and the media an ideal time to simply say, “thanks. ” Providing emergency care to the sick and injured can be a tough job, but EMS does it with skill and dedication. This commitment to excellence makes Virginia’s EMS system one of the finest in the nation. Virginia is one of only two states recognized by The Journal of the American Medical Association as having a truly complete statewide trauma care system. i Across Virginia, calls for help are answered by volunteer 1 rescue squads, fire departments and municipal or private am- j bulance services. Each meets, and in most cases, exceeds minimum standards for training, equipment, sanitation and safety. The ambulances are staffed by emergency medical technicians, cardiac technicians or paramedics. Nearly half of the EMS agencies operate “emergency departments on wheels,” using sophisticated communications links between the hospital and the field. The cardiac technicians and paramedics act as the eyes, ears and hands of the emergency physicians. EMS is but one link in the emergency health care chain. It is pari of a life-saving team that includes citizens with CPR or first aid training, police officers, firefighters, dispatchers, 911 operators and emergency physicians and nures. They all share the dedication and pride that comes from knowing they make a real difference in their community - a difference for life. We take this occasion to salute the volunteers who risk their lives and spend countless hours in service to this community through fire and rescue work. Membership in a rescue squad requires commitment and sacrifice, but it is also tremendously rewarding. That reward, helping neighbors in times of dire emergency, is what keeps the rescuers going— during the bad times, on the rough calls, when fund-raising campaigns come up short, or when the squad morale dips. For their dedication, a simple ‘thank you’ seems insufficient. We hope Rappahannock’s residents will at least say thank you this week. Perhaps some will even say, “How can I help?” That, for the rescuers, will make all the sacrifice worthwhile. r k SIR,WE DON'T NEED THE 1 MACHINERY TAX/ IN FACT IT WOULD COST MORE TO ' ADMINISTER THAN THEY WOULD GENERATE IN REVENUE r ^THAT'S NOT the ) POINT/ IT'S OUR ► JOB TO TAX PEOI PLE AND IF WE .

What it does is trigger special review of federal spending or other action (e.g. federal permits) that would destroy the historic values that make a property register-eligible. An organization with which Mr. Menks is connected, Citizens for Land Rights, says, “Every American has a right to use federal monies and receive federal permits and licenses” - in other words, the right to use our tax money to destroy part of our heritage. That’s what Rep. Allen’s bill is all about; it would allow local governments to “veto” a finding of Register-eligibility, thereby opening the door to use of our tax money to destroy parts of our heritage without justification.

To the Editor: The Virginia Department of Historic Resources keeps saying over and over that the state landmark designation is only honorific. If this is the case, then why is Senate Bill 514 causing so much hysteria among the preservationists? If a property owner does not want a plaque placed upon his property, so what? The Department of Historic Resources can still keep this property on its invenble. GREG ROBERTSON PTO president honorific? See LETTERS, p. A-6 Does regulation of property have its place? By C. TIMOTHY LINDSTROM There is a growing trend in this country to scorn the regulation of private property and exalt the exploitation of land by private interests in the name of “private property rights.” The property rights litany is heard around the nation and with increasing frequency here in Virginia, perhaps as a corollary to our increasing disenchantment with all things governmental. However, it obscures a very old tradition of virtually every civilized society, including our own: all private property is held subject to tiie condition that it not be used in a manner harmful to individuals or to society. The fact is that property rights are defined by society because it is the very structure of society that makes private property possible. None of us could defend our possessions without the help of our neighbors. We often forget that, in the best sense, government is all of us acting collectively. It is in this context that claims to property “rights” must be evaluated. In this nation we are fortunate that most public decisions about how land will be used are made by people who literally are our neighbors: the local citizens who make up our city councils and boards of supervisors. We are also fortunate that when the majority who established our government did so they included in the Constitution special guarantees for individuals against excessive inter OPINION PIECE ference by the majority. Thus, we are all protected in the use of our property from actions by the majority when those actions serve no real public purpose, or when they are not Meaningfully related to that purpose (these protections come from the Due Process clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments). We are also protected from actions which irrationally favor one person over another (the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendement). Finally, we are protected from excessive interference by the majority which leaves us with no economically reasonable use of our property (the protection against “takings” found in the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments). However, even these guarantees of private rights must be, as the Supreme Court has frequently stated, responsive to the changing circumstances of society. In the two hundred years since some of these guarantees were first written this nation has seen a growth in population and technology which has dramatically magnified . the public impact on the exercise of private rights. I doubt that even Mr. Jefferson could have imagined what one sum could do in an hour with a modern bulldozer. Nor could he have likely imagined over half a million people annually traveling up the narrow winding road to Monticello. As these dramatic changes in population and technology have magnified the public consequences of private property use the public’s right to influence that use has necessarily increased as well. In addition to the traditional limitations on the use of property, there are several important additional considerations where the private use of land is concerned. As the old Realtor’s saw goes: ‘They aren’t making any more of it.” Land is one of the least renewable resources. Each individual landowner making a choice to develop land is making a choice for many future generations as well. We can only imagine how we would feel if previous generations of landowners in the Piedmont had left us with a modem day Fairfax County landscape instead of the one which we now enjoy. And yet the collective effect of thousands of private property owner decisions being made every year in the Piedmont may indeed leave future residents here with a landscape far more like that of Fairfax than what we have known. In addition most modem developments are substantially dependent upon the public’s investment in the things which modem day city and suburban dwellers depend upon: roads, schools, police and fire protection, libraries, sewer and water, and so forth. All of us, through local taxes, provide these necessities. Very few private decisions to develop land for residential, commercial or industrial use would make financial sense without the addition of these publicly provided ingredients. Because private development decisions trigger these substantial public subsidies, the public is, in a very practical way, a partner in every private development decision. It is only fair that the public should have a say in the decision. Our economy depends upon the decision making and risk taking of private property owners. Therefore the public must be very careful not to interfere so unpredictably or excessively in private investment decisions that it discourages the continuation of private investment activity. However, for all of the reasons described, the public has a significant, appropriate, and indispensable role in decisions about the use of private property which the over zealous assertion of private property rights threatens to obscure. As a people we depend upon public regulations to protect our heritage, our quality of life, and the future of our children. It is with these “public property rights” that the freedom of the individual to use private property must be balanced. (C. Timothy Lindstrom is lecturer in zoning and planning law at the U.Va.

30 YEARS AGO May 17,1962 C.E. Brown has been appointed a certified Hunter Safety Instructor, it was announced today by the National Rifle Association of America. The new top ranked instructor passed a specified series of tests and served a prescribed period of time in training activities before receiving certification. He is now qualified to conduct classes in gun operation, safe gun-handling, and techniques of shooting on the target range and in the field to all interested members of his community. Mr. Brown joins the ranks of selected personnel which the NR A maintains throughout the country in a nation-wide smallarms education program. The program has been in operation since 1876. Commissioner of Agriculture Parke C. Brinkley has re-appointed four members to the Virginia Apple Commission, beginning July 1,1962. Re-appointed members are: H.L. Hollar, Timberville of the Shenandoah-Rockingham District; A.R. Seaman, Roseland, Southern Piedmont District; E.M. Jones, Washington, Northern Piedmont District; and Elbert R. Utt, Francy Gap, Southwest Virginia District. These terms will expire June 30, 1964. The Commission is charged with promoting the sale of Virginia apples using funds levied on Virginia apples sold. The books have about been closed on pledges for the construction of the Aileen Manufacturing Plant near Flint Hill. The Aileen Company has exercised their option and the land surveyed. Steel has been ordered for the building. Actual construction of the building is expected to start by June 1. The long sought industry for this county is now steadily becoming a reality and will aid the economy of Rappahannock by a great degree. 20 YEARS AGO May 18,1972 Members of the 1972 graduating class of Rappahannock County High School who were cited for academic excellence are Bill Kilby and Deborah Barron, valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively, and Rick Gore and Dabney Eastham equally qualified for third place.

After several years in the business field, she left the office in order to spend time with her child, who suffers from cystic fibrosis. Time at home gave her more time to spend in the gardens she created around her Flint Hill home, a house purchased for the sloping acreage suitable to grow grapevines—a dream she and her husband worked toward for several years. In the wake of her son’s death, she found putting time in gardening helped occupy her thoughts. “Now, it’s taking up all my time,” she said with a wave of her hand to indicate the growing business and her numerous large perennial beds that circle the property. To pay for her horticultural passions, Mrs. Brune said she started to sell flowers. Her flowers could be seen at local restaurants such as Four and Twenty Blackbirds or The Flint Hill Meeting Place, previously The School House Restaurant.

She did a few weddings, arranging the bride’s bouquet and church flowers to compliment the groom’s and attendents’ outfits. As her interest in design grew, Mrs. Brune began to toss the idea of a greenhouse around and returned to school at Lord Fairfax Community College for training. “I now know I do not want a greenhouse,” she said with laughter, adding after careful examination, she feels costs outweigh benefits in this area. But the college courses weren’t wasted. At school she formed a working partnership with instructor Cindy Johnson. With her help, Mrs. Brune’s ability to arrange flowers for larger occasions developed. Their debut was the Hunt Country Ball in 1991. “Now we’re partners in design and have been busy ever since,” Mrs. Brune said. As work demands have progressed, she said, she has subcontracted with other designers and workmen for such needs as technical construction and arrangement. “I’m so busy with floral design, I don’t have time for greenhouse,” she said, adding her preference is “field growing, besides.” Using many of her summer and fall perennials, Mrs. Brune adds green-foliage plants, wildflowers from her property and bits and pieces of other natural accents to create arrangements which look as if they grew in their container. Even the snips of early spring buds which decorate her worktable seem perfectly arranged. Her artistic eye arranges the color and symmetry of the piece; her talent with flowers dictates which are used. But when it comes to perfection, Mrs. Brune said she is “skeptical. Anything too perfect is downright boring.” She admits to a preference for informal arrangements with nice vari ety, thus the use of many different sorts of floral media. While many of her summer and fall arrangements are created totally from her own gardens, her spring arrangements are purchased from flower distributors. She does produce many spring Wood to serve on air panel Del. Jerry M.

Her training in production is not a logs, either, as Mrs. Brune said she will probally use her greenhouse education to begin flowers she is unable to find and to start many of her own seeds. “When I do an arrangement, I am creating a garden," she said with smile adding when the job no longer is fun, she will cease her work there. Cost for flowers depends on the season, flowers requested and time allowed for find required by arrangments. Weddings and larger occasions can require six to eight hours of work and should be booked a month in advance. She does not do funerals but can provide flowers for memorial services.

Gardeners, 4-H'ers top spring agriculture news Three Rappahannock County residents recently completed the 1992 Master Gardener Course conducted by the Fauquier and Rappahannock County Extension offices. They are Susan Rust of Flint Hill, Betty Price of Castleton and Sharon Pierce of Woodville. The course covered 48 hours of training in horticultural topics, including botany, physiology, environmental effects on plant growth, macronutrients, micronutrients, soil composition, fertilizers, composting, basics of entomology, chemical pest control, pesticides, pathology, pesticides and the environment, sexual propagation, asexual propagation, pruning, fruits, interior plants, care of special plants, light requirements, vegetable gardens, irrigation, seeding, transplants, weed control, intensive gardening, brambles, grapes, strawberries, gooseberries, lawns, landscaping, flowers, and analysis of site needs. The Master Gardener Program was created to provide consumers with up-to-date, reliable knowledge so they can enjoy and protect the value of horticulture in Virginia. Master gardening has also become a fun and useful volunteer activity that has given its participants a sense of community spirit, accomplishment, and intellectual stimulation. Master Gardeners agree to volunteer an equal number of hours back to the Extension Service to help with their workload in horticulture in return for the training they receive. 4H'ers compete Katie, Justin and Scotty Updike were among 50 4-H’ers who recently Competed in the Glen wood Park 4-H Livestock Show April 4 in Loudoun County.

A report must be filed if all or part of the agricultural land is sold, or if the title is transferred to another person. Failure to report could result in a civil penalty of up to 25 percent of the fair-market value of the interests held in the agricultural land. Foreign investors have reported owning 14.8 million acres of land in the United States as of Dec. 31, 1991. The local ASCS is responsible for monitoring how much agricultural land in Rappahannock County is owned or controlled by foreign individuals or interests. For reporting purposes, agricultural land is any tract of more than 10 acres now in farming, ranching, forestry, or timber production. This includes land in agricultural use when purchased, as well as land later converted to agricultural use. Foreigners who own or have an interest in 10 acres or less do not need to report unless annual proceeds from the sale of agricultural products grown on these acres exceed $1,000. A “foreign person” can be an individual, a government, a foreign organization or U.S. organization with foreign investors who hold significant interest or control. County government offices. Realtors, attorneys and others involved in real estate transactions are asked to notify foreign investors of these reporting requirements. Measure before planting The Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) advises local farmers to use pre-measurement service before planting their spring crops. Doing so will guarantee that field sizes are accurate for the 1992 program year. Pre-measuring assures that farmers are in compliance with the acreage reduction requirements and eliminates the worry over loss of program benefits.

Former governor honored at 4-H Center By KAY HUMPHREY ArCom Ncwipapen Staff Writer Former governor Linwood Holton received the 1992 Outstanding Virginian Award at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center near Chester Gap on Saturday. Gov. Holton, 68, who served as the state’s chief executive between 1970 and 1974, was credited with changing the state’s political landscape as the first Republican to be elected to the office since the Civil War. Gov. Holton who lives in McLean, said, “The whole theme of my campaign was to create a two-party democracy in Virginia. I grew up under the domination of one faction of one party and they were all powerful. I helped break that. We have a two-party, competitive situation now so that the people can have a choice.” He said he had run for many offices prior to entering the gubernatorial race, but the governor’s seat was the first state office he won. While voters are more likely to see partisanism during elections, it isn’t likely to mar cooperative efforts between elected officials, he said. “They will be competitive during the elections, but over the long haul they will work together for the good of the state once they are elected,” Gov. Holton said. State Sen. H. Russell Potts, RWinchester, said Gov. Holton was a coalition builder and a pioneer in Virginia politics. “When he put together his coalition, he advocated a philosophy of inclusion. I hope that’s something the Republican Party of the future will be.” State Sen. Potts, whose own political career was influenced by Gov. Holton’s contribution, said the former governor has left the legacy of a two party system. “I think it’s critical that we have a two party system,” he said. Del. Alson H. Smith, D-Winchester, said Gov. Holton was the first governor to hire a minority to run the state Office of Minority Affairs. “There is no question that he had a great affect on changing the way Third graders complete Russian correspondence Cheryl Alexander’s third grade class is very excited to have just completed its Russian pen-pal project. On Friday, May 7 they finished the booklets the Russian children sent them to fill out. They were delivered in person by a local resident, saving them the three-week delay that mail to Russia normally takes. The Russian children had sent booklets with pictures of their families, areas of interest in their city, their pets and they illustrated the covers with their own artwork. There is lots of talent among those school children. Our American students had to answer questions asked by the Russians and write about similar experiences they’ve had, comparisons about their families, lifestyles, likes and dislikes. The children are hoping to continue to write to their new friends. This has been a great learning experience combining English, grammar, lanaguage and social studies. Laurie Marshall was very helpful - in this project. I saw many moms at the school on Friday for Mother’s Day. They IT'S ELEMENTARY What's Happening at RCES by Diana Corbin were enjoying the Mother’s Day lunch the cafeteria prepared. I also want to thank the teachers for taking the time and effort to help the students make the wonderful Mother’s Day presents that the students bring home. There isn’t much extra time for special projects but the teachers seem to find it. The kindergarten classes are very excited about the play they are performing on Friday, May 15. More about that next week. Dental screenings are being performed now by the dental team. Look for permission slips coming home. I’d like to hear about the fourth and fifth grade classes. Kids, it’s a great way to get your name in the paper. Keep your cards and letters coming. You can contact me through the school office. '4. * that Virginia functions concerning minorities,” Del. Smith said. Many of Gov. Holton’s accomplishments while in office concerned addressing problems in education. Gov. Holton said one of the high points of his term was the improvement of racial relations. In September 1970, his first year in office, the busing decree went into effect. He said one of the ways he and his wife supported desegregation was by sending their children to predominantly black schools. “We let our children go to the school which they would have been assigned. They actually lived on state property when we were in the executive mansion and they weren’t required to go to the bused schools. We thought the better part of leadership was to let them go where they would have gone if they had been private citizens,” Gov. Holton said. “I think the example that was set by the first family made it easier for Virginians to adjust to a very new school situation,” Gov. Holton said. He said the state adjusted more readily than other southern states such as Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, where the desegregation of the schools erupted into violence. Gov. Holton, whose administration had attempted to correct disparities in education, said the problems still remain. “We rewrote the school formula to acknowledge that some counties weren’t going to be able to afford enough funds to provide an adequate education for their children. We rewrote the formula to give them more money from state sources, we could do it because we had general revenue sharing funds coming from the federal government. We took advantage of those funds to help eliminate those disparities, but they keep coming back and they are facing us today. The state is now facing a lawsuit on constitutional issues that the state is going to have to face up to. We’re going to have to put some state money into eliminating those disparities,” he said. Gov. Holton said another accomplishment was cleaning up the state’s rivers. The state raised taxes in order to provide matching funds, which were used along with funds from a federal program that allowed localities to build wastewater treatment facilities at a reduced cost. He said the localities were paying 65 cents per dollar to build treatment plants until the state participated in «• t- ■% « ■ ** ~^sz> i nrougn COOP “DOWN TO EARTH VALUES" SALE 5/23 Great Values on all the Popular Lawn & Garden Supplies Flail 3 Cubic Foot PINE BARK OR HARDWOOD 3’xeo* LANDSCAPE FABRIC /Cl Bonus Roll *8.95 a 4 Cubic Foot PEAT MOSS 1 Your Choice .Pound %.\ • TOP SOL POTTING SOL COW MANURE 50 Pound BACCTO POTTINQ SOIL *4.48 , Bag \ •} Save on Homellte STRING TRIMMERS yQ HLT-16 *94.95 \ HBC-18 *169.95 \HBC-30 *199.95 Above Trimmers come with a full 2 Year Warranty Premium SPRAY-DOC SPRAYERS 1000P-1 Gal. *19.95 2000P-2 Gal. *24.95 3000P-3 Gal. *27.95 GREAT SAVINGS ON QUAUTYs(JRTHOPRODUCTS 10 Pound ORTHO DIAZINON SOIL & TURF INSECTICIDE --SALE »9.99 LESS MAILIN-REBATE 2.00 jjet Cost 7.99 &S After Rebate MALATHION 50 PLUS INSECT SPRAY A Pints & *5.78 raj Quarts H *9-98 ORTHO 4 POUND 5% SEVIN DUST ♦2.28 .

Holton said the construction cost for the facilities under the federal program was reduced to 20 cents per dollar. “We tightened up the laws regarding pollution and we made every river in Virginia swimmable again,” he said. Gov. Holton said at least 15 million gallons per day of raw sewage from Northern Virginia was being dumped into the Potomac River prior to a lawsuit filed by the state against the Washington Sanitary Commission. The judgement forced the commission to cease its disposal of untreated wastewater and improve its treatment facility, he said. Gov. Holton said he favored extending the gubernatorial term. He said it would be helpful if governors were allowed to serve on six-year term. Gov. Holton said Gov. L. Douglas Wilder has faced much tougher times on an economic level than he did during his term. Gov. Holton said the state’s revenues had regulary surpassed his estimates. Some of the past award recipients include Ronald E. Carrier, president of James Madison University, Chief Justice Harry L. Carrico and former U.S. Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. Letters Continued from page A-4 tory list of historic properties. Could it be that the landmark status is more than honorific? Does it carry with it some control over the properties that are listed? It does influence the building of roads by the Virginia Department of Transportation. For example, improving Route 3 in Culpeper County will now cost $11 million instead of $5 million for a two-mile stretch of road because the property it will go through “may” be historic. When a property is designated a state landmark it is automatically nominated to the National Park Service (NPS) for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. U.S. Rep. George Allen, R-Va., has introduced a bill at the federal level that alllow local governing bodies to take part in land use decisions of properties in their district. At this time, the National Park Service determines the use of privately owned property through the “106 review process.” In essence, the NPS controls privately owned land. This violates the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, which states that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. Rep. Allen’s bill brings some control back to local government? If the NPS feels a property is so significant to the country, why not buy the property? Could it be that by using the “eligibility clause,” the NPS can control a property without spending a dime? I will caution preservation groups that by these unfair laws that they may cause some historic properties to be destroyed an<^ thereby lost forever. U.S. Alien should be applauded for supporting the Constitution and trying to resolve an issue that undermines the rights of property owners and that could destroy the public trust in the National Park Service.

Massie, Holly W. May, Francis B. Thornton and Cheryl Woodard. The Library also announced this week that it has taken possession of its new books. All of those wonderful, brand-new children’s books we have all been waiting for are finally here and ready to be check out. But first there will be a preview, open to the public, in the Rappahannock County Library’s community room from noon to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20. The library received the children’s books through the Libri Foundation, a non-profit organization that donates quality children’s books to small, rural public libraries. The library received a 2-to-l matching grant from the Libri Foundation’s Books for Children Program. The Friends of the Library, with the help of the Mothering Cooperative, raised the maximum allowed by the grant, $350, which enabled the library to receive over $1,050 worth of new, award-winning, hardcover children’s books. The books are a very welcome addition to the library’s collection of children’s books. They cover all age ranges in fiction. There are also some badly needed non-fiction books. They will especially help update and expand our history and science sections. This is the chance to see all of the books at one time. The library staff would like to extend a special invitation to everyone who contributed to the success of this grant. Beginning Thursday, May 21, the books may be checked out to be eryoyed at one’s leisure. In other Library news, the Library Board of Trustees and the Friends of the Library have received a substantial contribution from Centel Foundation. Centel provides telephone services to Washington, Va.; Front Royal; Charlottesville and many other Virginia communities. It is expected the contribution will be used to create much needed additional parking space and furnishings in the library. McNears to host exchange student Richard and Jeanie McNear of Washington, Va. will welcome a new “daughter” in August 1992: Nina Ingemann Blicher, a Youth For Understanding (YFU) International Exchange student from Denmark. Nina, who will be a student at Rappahannock High School in Sperryville, will live with the McNear family for an academic year. As a member of the McNear family, Nina will participate in all family activities, from vacations to household chores. While sharing the culture of Denmark with her host family and schoolmates, she will learn about U.S. culture.

Allen Continued from page A-1 dais (permission must be obtained from the governor or the attorney general before such an investigation can take place). He made note of his sponsorship of the successful constitutional amendment that directed the sale of drug dealers’ assets be sent back to local police forces. “We have to make sure our deputies out in the counties are adequately compensated,” said Rep. Allen. On the education front, Rep. Allen would “make sure the state ceases to mandate things they don’t pay for.” And, said the Republican, “if we get the economy moving again, you’d have more revenue.” He said he would use the innovative “school-based management” employed by Prince William Schools superintendent Ed Kelly as a model. “'Hiose folks are acting, the aren’t just grousing,” he said. A “bright sign” in the state’s edu rational system is the new right of counties to have school board elections. But the spate of regulations brought to Virginia schools during the Robb, Baliles and Wilder administrations are unfair, said Rep. Allen. “Overall, we have asked the school system to do so much,” such as cook breakfast, teach sex education, and provide after-school programs. “We have to make absolutely certain we do nothing to infringe on parents’ participation in their children’s education.” He said the state is “spending a lot of money on [education], but I think people want more accountability.” He endorses giving students standardized tests before promoting them in school. “When they graduate from high school, they have to have the ability to do high school work,” he said. He said the failure of pledge bonds “vindicated” his minority vote against them in the General Assembly. “The voters just stomped it, it was 80 percent or something.” The first-term representative was elected over Kay Slaughter to Schools Continued from page A-1 Dr. Gangel also told the School Board the General Assembly passed a law requiring that students get a second measles shot before being allowed to enroll in sixth grade. He said that Marion Sharp, the public health nurse, agreed to hold a free clinic to give shots to current fifthgraders this spring. The board approved specifications for a study of options for expansion. A consultant will be asked to develop low, medium and high enrollment projections for the next 30 years. Using these projections the consultant will cost out, over a 30year period, the cost of adding portable classrooms, building one or more additions, and building a new middle school including the impact on such existing systems as heating, septic and food service. The consultant will also provide an estimate of the cost of building a metal vocational education building. The board agreed to install a portable window air-conditioner in one of the warmest of the elementary school classrooms. Dr. Gangel said he wanted to get information from one classroom on the cost of installation and the cost of electricity. The board heard a presentation by Cheryl Alexander’s third-grade class on their project of communicating with students in Russia and sending medical supplies to a children’s hospital there. They also heard from high school French teacher Cindy Wayland about her twoweek trip to France. Dr. Gangel announced that state Secretary of Education James Dyke will be visiting the elementary school the afternoon of May 26. Piedmont United Way holds annual meeting The Piedmont United Way’s annual award night and annual meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 18 at the Culpeper County Junior High Schoo, North Main Street Extended and Route 229. “We want to thank the community for their support of our United Way agencies,” said Betty Roberts, executive director. “Piedmont United Way makes a difference in the lives of many, only because the people in our Piedmont community, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock give so generously of their efforts, time and money.” Agencies invited to participate with music and client success stories include, the Boy and Girls Scouts from five counties, the Culpeper Nursery School, Fauquier County Community Action Committee (Head Start), Culpeper Community Development Corporation (Shelter), Culpeper Literacy Council and F.O.R.E. Campaign chairperson Tom Kirk will thank those volunteers working in this past year’s campaign. Each Waiters Continued from page A-1 The menu includes appetizers and wine before the dinner, which offers a salad, sirloin beef tips, turkey breast, rice, a vegetable, homemade rolls and dessert. Beverly and Barbara believe that “it could be our best opportunity to watch some local celebrities act as crazy as they can to raise money for a good cause.” (But who’s to say it would be acting?) In addition to the good food and the zany antics of the waiters, the evening program includes door prizes, an emcee, an auction of serious and humorous items and individual prizes awarded for best costumes and waiter performances. The waiters will help to choose the “dress code” (or lack thereof) or the “theme” for the guests they are to serve. This is definitely not a black tie affair. But it’s bound to be fun, so ’ please plan to celebrate with the “celebrities.” Remember, Celebrity Waiter a la Heart is a fund-raising event ben. efitting the research, public education and community service programs of the American Heart Association in the continued fight against heart and blood vessel diseases. The entire cost of the dinner, $20 per person, is tax-deductible. The social hour starts at 6 p.m., dinner at 7 p.m., Washington fire hall, Saturday, May 30.

A special thanks is planned for some of the major contributors. “When this office opened in March of 1989 we raised $142,898. In 1991, the community has pledges $254,092, an increase of $111,194. This includes $39,836 from the Combined Federal Campaign and $2,295 from the Combined Virginia Campaign,” commented Ms. Roberts. New officers will be voted on at the annual meeting and introduced to the community. The nominees include: President, Thomas Winfree, President, Jefferson Savings Bank, Fauquier; Secretary, Helen Jones, Jefferson Savings Bank, Fauquier; Vice-President, John Garber. fill the 7th District seat held by D. French Slaughter Jr. and, before that, by J. Kenneth Robinson. He entered Congress at a time when the Thomas hearings, the bank and post office scandal, and voter unhappiness has led many of his colleagues to retire. Others have been, or are in danger of being, removed from office at the polls. “My first speech up there I said I didn’t come up here to be a member of the club,” said Rep. Allen. “Some folks said, ‘You shouldn’t be giving such a confrontational speech.’ ” But following that speech, he was approached by other congressmen who share his ideology, so “Right away, I found folks who shared my goals.” “I think it’s a great time for those who want to reform things. . . . You can embarass them into doing what’s right,” he noted. The congressman pulled is First Virginia Bank checkbook from his briefcase. He says he never had an account at the House Bank, adding: “. . . and I get my hair cut in Charlottesville.” Rep. Allen wants to end what he calls abuse of the congressional franking privilege, which allows him and other congressmen to mail, freeof-charge. His studies show that much of the mail goes outside incumbents’ districts, to newly drawn districts where they hope to campaign. He also demonstrated how the cost of election year mailings is dramatically higher than non-election year mailings. Park issues Continued from page A-1 erty owners, and the Sammis organization. The question of how much land, if any, should be set aside to commemorate the world’s largest cavalry battle on the site is at the center of the dispute. The NPS’s own administrative review determines what land and which landmarks make National Landmark status. Less restrictive designations include a listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or, .as with Brandy Station, being deemed eligible to make the national register. Rep. Allen’s bill would provide for a public hearing process and would make a majority vote by the county board of supervisors necessary for eligibility status. His bill only applies to properties larger than five acres. Rep. Allen said some landowners have run into problems with the socalled 106 review, which requires a NPS study any time a federal action involves a NPS-“eligible” property. Anyone who wants a VA loan, or an FmHA mortgage, will have to go through the 106 review if their land falls into the area of “eligible” land at Brandy Station. “If Brandy Station were not in my district, believe me, I would not get into this battle,” said Rep. Allen. “I’m not doing this for Mr. Sammis,’’ said Rep. Allen. “The folks that matter to me are the people in Culpeper and Fauquier who are kind of innocent bystanders in the Sammis Development.

Panthers anticipate state's No. 1 ranking By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock New. S*aff Writer Fifleen-and-oh. Twenty-six of the last twenty-seven. When the state rankings for girls single-A high school softball are issued next week, the Rappahannock Lady Panthers, undefeated all year and now assured of a first-round bye in the regionals, those Lady Panthers can expect to be at the top of them. The team heads into its final regular-season game Thursday against Strasburg after beating Central and Brentsville this week for a 13-0 Bull Run District record. The team goes into the tworound Bull Run District playoffs at Stanley Baseball Field at 5 p.m. Monday knowing it doesn’t even need to win to get the first-round bye in the regionals. The top-seeded Lady Panthers will host a second-round game in the region, and if they win there only the state tournament lies ahead. Against Central May 11 the squad started slowing, falling behind early and staying behind until the fifth inning. ‘Then the girls just started hitting,” said Coach Leake. Sherron Boddie was 2-for-3 with a bases-loaded triple, Emma Swatman had a single and a double, Angela Pullen was 2-for-2 and Cyndi Welch had two hits. Freshman Susan Jewell knocked in a run with a key pinch-hit single. Central had the bases loaded on Rappahannock pitcher Susan Payne (15-0) in the fifth when Payne caught a bunt, turning a double play and retiring the side. “It was definitely the turning point of the game,” said Coach Leake. The Brentsville game Tuesday evening was too late for deadlines, but RCHS reported did win, for its 15th victory of the season. For more information about the location of Stanley Field, or the time of the school’s hosting of the secondround regional game, call the high school at 987-8575. Track squad's trip to districts ends year The Bull Run District track meet at. Clarke County High last week sent two Panthers on to the regionals at U.Va. next week. Jamie Fin-, chum advanced by taking third in the shot-pu and third in the discus. Jason Waters' two-mile time of 10:31 would have won the district meet for him last year. This season it netted him a lOth-place finish and a trip to the regionals. In a meet with Culpeper County Monday, the Panther boys lost a 6562 heartbreaker to the hosts. Ryan Welch won the high, long and triple jumps, Finchum won the discus and was second in the shot, Waters won the mile and two-mile and finished second in the shot, Chris Payne was first in the 800 meters, and the mile relay team won.

On March 5-6 the students in prekindergarten through eighth grades at Wakefield CDS participated in the National Mythology Exam, which is sponsored by the American Classical League. Wakefield Country Day School’s participation was encouraged by the school’s chapter of the National Junior Classical League. The seniors, all girls, had spent time talking to the teachers and observing the students, as research for their presentations. They made special note of the attention span and teaching methods of the teachers whom they observed. The girls all agreed that this groundwork helped them a great deal in preparing their shows. For weeks before, the elementary teachers in all the grades had worked with their individual classes, learning about the myths. Each teacher had a syllabus provided by the National JCL, which gave the basic material that would appear on the exam. After the seniors had finished their presentations, Mrs. (Patty) Shaw, the first-grade teacher, commented that the seniors “sparked the children’s enthusiasm in acting out stories, while making the Greek myths come alive.” , . , In the morping, the seniors •worked with the pre-k, kindergarten, and first graders, who range in the age from three to seven. In the afternoon, the seniors ventured into the classrooms of the secondand third-graders. Each day, the seniors focused on four gods, impersonating each deity in a little skit or questioning session. Using common symbols of the deities, the seniors involved the children by allowing the children to hold the articles and by asking the younger children with whom the symbols were associated. On the day before the children took the test, the seniors, in “divine” garb, gave their costumed students a banquet dinner of cheese, fruit, apple juice, and cookies. As a result of this experience, the seniors have discovered the difficulties and rewards of teaching, and their young students have learned about mythology while discovering new friends in their senior “teachers.” (Detra Funk is a Wakefield Country Day School senior.—Ed.) Wakefield soccer team ends season The girls’ soccer team at Wakefield CDS in Huntly opened its season with a challenging match against Seton, the toughest team in the Delaney Conference. After this initial defeat, the young team, playing with enthusiasm and only four experienced players, came out in their second game with a win against Tara Reston. Though the team then suffered four losses, they practiced with determination through the chilly, wet spring. Their improvement was notable in their last three games. On April 30 the Owls beat a big RMA team, 2-1 and on May 2, they defeated Brentsville High School, 2-0. Their final and most exciting victory came on May 5 when they shut out Wakefield-Marshall, 3-0. The Wakefield CDS team has been ably led by senior Caroline Brandt, who has scored six goals this season. Detra Funk, a senior from Front Royal, has been the tireless and courageous goalie, and senior Kathleen O’Neill, also from Front Royal, has added inspiration and one goal to the effort. The other scores this season were kicked by Bridget Hickson five, Katie Adamson four, and Kristin Hickson one, all from Front Royal.

What's the origin of 'a dead horse'? By WALTER DAY Years ago, during military service, it was often necessary to obtain an advance in pay. There was a provision that if one was reassigned or on temporary duty an advance could be approved. The “hooker” (there is always a “hooker”) was the repayment terms. You could get a three-month advance but it had to be repaid in six months. Short term relief and long term pain. This process was aptly called a “dead horse.” I chose to obtain a “dead horse” on several occasions and this always reminded me of an event in my youth, which I will now relate to you. My first 16 years were spent on a farm in Idaho. We used horses for work and play. Being poor farmers, the same horses were used. I remember their names—Rowdy, Beck, Maude, Blackie and Brownie. They were all different. Rowdy was a white gelding, allaround dependable, he could bring the cows in, pull a plow or tolerate little and big children. Blackie was spooky, we never trusted him except in harness and tied to another horse of calm disposition. Blackie caused a runaway with me on a mower. (I bailed out early.) Beck was a mare who liked to run and was hard to stop. She lost me on quite a few corners. Maude was old and dependable but too big and slow. We only rode her when the other choices were gone. But I digress. Maude died one night. We guessed that it was old age and natural causes. My father went to the neighbors for a telephone. He called the glue factory. They would always come for dead horses and even pay a dollar for the carcass. My father decided to outsmart the industry. When the driver arrived he demanded two dollars Day By Day for Maude. I guess he reasoned that they had traveled 30 miles they would pay another dollar to keep from going home emptyhanded. He was wrong. The man turned, got in the truck and went home without Maude. We had Maude for some three months. Maude was dragged to the south edge of the farm to the desert where she rotted and when the wind was right we suffered from a dead horse. We could not help but question dear old Dad’s judgment for a long time. The lesson is that one dollar in your hand is worth more than a dead horse within smelling distance, or father doesn't always know b^st. I wdhder if anyone knows how the term originated for an advance in pay. Probably the cavalry. But my father’s judgement was questioned, at least as long as Maude could be smelled. There was a doc farmer from Huntly, Who had a quota of rocks picked up monthly. Tensed over a rock, coming up from his knees, He went into shock from a violent sneeze. Now he rocks, with his rocks, in his socks incidently. _ (The opinions of the writer are not necessarily those of this paper.—Ed.) Tim Brown, left, Sam Henze, Kevin Culbertson, Lancelot Albaugh all play in the band, which performs in Warrenton. Warrenton band draws on Rapp'k musicians The music scene at Pizza Inn in Warrenton is getting Outtahand. For those patronizing the Warrenton Pizza Inn, it’s likely that they have heard the vintage and original rock tunes of house band, Lancelot and the Outtahand Band, on a Friday or Saturday evening. Lancelot Albaugh, a longtime area resident who has played in these parts for about 20 years, leads the popular group. “We have a lot of chemistry,” said Albaugh, 37, who has sung as well as played acoustic to electric guitar in several local bands in the past. “We are like a family.” The band is comprised of Kevin Culbertson on drums, Tim Brown on bass, Carol Richardson as backup vocalist and Sam Henze on lead guitar. Wayne Piper serves as soundman and Daniel Bright helps on the road. The group, explained Albaugh, plays mainly ’60s and ’70s music like Mellencamp, Neil Young, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Steppenwolf, “as well as we mix in our own originals.” “[The band] hopes to branch out, playing benefits for local organizations. I’d like to give something back to the community,” said the Fauquier High School graduate. Though the band plays at Pizza Inn several times a month, sharing weekend dates with other local groups, they also makes appearances at Sportsbreak in Manassas, Banshees in Fredericksburg and The Cashway Cafe in Culpeper. Along with Albaugh’s band performance, he hosts the open mike at Pizza Inn every Wednesday. Though their covers of rock tunes are popular with the crowd, so are their original tunes, written by Henze, Brown and Albaugh. “We like people to listen to the music as well as dance to it,” said Albaugh, an Amissville resident. And, it is obvious that writing is a passion, and a priority. While Albaugh was waiting for this reporter to meet him for an interview, he sat in the newspaper lobby, furiously jotting down a tune which popped in his head. “I really like them to say something,” he said, handing over some of his songs for perusing. Albaugh, who has had several jobs in the past from carpentry and stone masonry to energy conservation, recently decided to concentrate on his real passion—music. “I have decided this is it. It is a lot of work, but I really epjoy the playback. It is nice to have somebody there to listen and to be recognized,” he said. Albaugh said he owes the success of the band to several people. “We have gotten so much support from Drum and Strum, Mikey and Esty at Pizza Inn, Blue Revoluion and RNB, Carol Culbertson. And Lenora, for the inspiration she has given me,” he said.

In-season English peas are among spring's tastiest vegetables By HELEN W. SMITH RapfMnannock Newt Contributing Writer English peas will soon be in season. This is one of spring’s tastiest vegetables. Like their dried relatives, garden peas are legumes, but they are eaten when immature and sweet. Peas are a native of Italy. From there they traveled northwest to England and west to the New World with the first American settlers. In addition to English peas, two other popular varieties are snow peas (almost pea-less pods that are an Oriental specialty) and sugar snap peas. Both of these are eaten shells and all, raw as well as codked. Nutritional Value: Peas are a good source of Vitamin A, potassium, protein, phosphorus, and iron. Snow peas are low in protein since their seeds are very small. If you don’t have peas in your garden and need to buy them, look for large, bright green pods. The pods should be well filled and have a velvety texture. A pound of peas in the shell yields about one cup shelled. To store, refrigerate peas unshelled; they should keep 3-5 days. Figure on two pounds of garden peas in the pod to feed four people; one pound yields about one cup of peas. For snow peas and sugar snaps, one pound is enough for four. Preparation: Peas, like most vegetables, are best when not over HOME ECONOMICS cooked. Steam or boil them until tender, but still crisp and season with butter, mint, lemon juice or some other herbs. Snow peas and sugar snaps take but a minute or two of cooking or steaming. Many traditional recipes combine peas and onions - sometimes in a cream sauce. Lots of Oriental recipes combine snow peas in stir-fry recipes. The French way of cooking peas with lettuce and onions is admired throughout Europe and is often called “petits pois,” which means “young or immature peas.” There are other ways to eiyoy peas as the following recipes indicate.

Expect 4, 5 to be fair, cooler changing to rain and stormy, 6-8, but back to fair weather but mild, 9-13. More showers, cooler temps, 14, 15 followed by a period of partly cloudy, mild days 16-20. Then it’s showers, 21-23 and again 29, 30, after a period of mild days, 24-28. The month winds up fair and mild. Full moon: Occurs on the 16th at 12:03 a.m. and is known traditionally as the flower moon. Observe Memorial Day on the last Monday, the 25th, when we honor all veterans who have served their country in times of conflict. Gardening notes: As we head into the growing season, it’s best to remember to tackle the chores gradually. Muscles long unused during the winter months can easily be strained and need to be conditioned before use in vigorous work. Transplants need a good boost from a starter solution. Wait till ground has warmed up sufficiently before applying mulch around new transplants. J.

Warning issued about bogus utilities workers Authorities encourage local residents to be extremely cautious when dealing with strangers who approach their house. There have been recent reports of people posing as utility company employees in order to gain entry into homes. These imposters may try to fool the homeowner into paying for services not actually performed, or they may take money and valuables from the house while the landowner is not looking, according to the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC). In some instances nothing is taken at that time. They simply survey the house noting such things as the location of valuables, security features, and the number of occupants in the home. These people often target the elderly and other vulnerable individuals. The imposters usually work in pairs. While one distracts the homeowner, the other will burglarize the house. Victims may not realize they have been robbed until after the imposters flee. Maxie Rozell, Security Coordinator for the REC, offers these suggestions to help avoid being victimized by strangers: Require positive identification and be sure of their intentions before opening doors. When answering the door, be sure other doors into the house are locked. Ask the people to wait outside while calling their office to verify who they are and why they are at your house. Get a description of the people and their vehicle’s license plate number.

Utility employees will also often be wearing distinctive clothing, such as a uniform or a hardhat. Ms. Rozell emphasized that in addition to these features, “All REC employees carry an official identification card with their photograph on it. People should feel free to ask to see the I.D. card.” She said in most cases there is no need for the electric company to enter your house unless you have called them concerning a problem with your home’s electrical system. Always be sure with whom you are dealing whether in person or on the phone. Do not tell any stranger you are home alone or that you will not be home at a certain time. Do not give out your credit card number to anyone that calls you. If you notice any suspicious activity, call your local law enforcement agency immediately.
