Weekend Weather According to the extended forecast from the National Weather Service, this weekend should bring higher temperatures following the unseasonably cool spell earlier in the week. Hazy, hot and humid days, with high temperatures in the 80s, will be followed by cooler nights, with lows dipping into the mid 60s. Rappahannock News Staff Pholo/C'mdy Mahan Bethany Lacy and Amanda Pearson, visiting from Manassas, enjoy tree-ripened sweet cherries at Moore’s Orchard in Flint Hill. Wet spring proves boon to apples The only thing reliable about the weather is that it changes. This spring has been no exception. While many spring seasons bring early warm weather and drought, this spring Virginia and Rappahannock County have experienced late damp and cool weather. Weather watcher Dennis Wingfield of Sperry ville reports that 3.5 inches of moisture per month is “normal" for Rappahannock. This January and February produced less than normal moisture, 3.14 inches in January and 2.37 inches in February. However, rainfall picked up with spring and the months since have resulted in greater than normal rainfall. Mr. Wingfield measured 5.3 inches in March, 5.66 inches in April, 4.34 inches in May and 3.85 inches in June, through last week. Although April produced fairly normal weather in terms of temperature, it was the result of warmer than normal nights and cooler than normal days, he said. The coolness continued in May. “This May was the coldest in 19 years,” Mr. Wingfield reported. The cool damp weather has meant postponed ball games and the most comfortable graduation since the new gymnasium was built. It has also meant that after two years when peaches were damaged by frost, Rappahannock will experience the second year in a row with a good peach crop. “Peaches are excellent,” Extension Agent Tommy Williams reported. However, the cool damp weather while apples were blooming meant that bees were not out pollinating blossoms at normal rates, and there will be a smaller than usual apple crop. Mr. Williams said the apple crop will be about “20 percent off’ with Red delicious and York varieties especially hard hit. For farmers trying to make hay, this spring has been frustrating. The abundant rainfall has produced an excellent hay crop. However, it has been very difficult to get the crop cured and baled without having it rained on. Mr. Williams said those who waited until last week to cut their hay should have a “good crop.” Budget trimmed $16,500 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Washington Town Council adopted a budget that was cut by $16,500 from the original proposal Monday night and also held a public hearing with the Planning Commission on the proposed revised Comprehensive Plan. The $97,420 budget is actually $6,160 below the current $103,580 budget. To do this the council cut $1,000 out of the payment for the zoning administrator, $300 from subscriptions, $5,350 from the salary for a town administrative assistant, $2,000 from contract services for capital expenses, $3,000 from materials, $1,000 from temporary labor, $3,000 from trash removal, $500 from maintenance materials, and $350 from maintenance services. There was little discussion on these cuts. However, councilman Newbill Miller suggested that instead of paying $12,000 to cover expenses of the fire department, the council should contribute $1,000 each month to the department and let the board of directors of the fire department decide how to spend the money. Treasurer Brad Fisher said the town’s auditor wants to see bills to go with every town expense. “If I just give them the money I don’t know if they are using it properly or not,” he said. Member Susan Parrish agreed with Mr. Miller and Mayor Dean Morehouse agreed with Mr. Fisher. When member Janice Moffett said she agreed that the town should have a breakdown of expenses for the fire department, Mr. Miller moved to approve the budget without changing the way the fire department receives its funds. The budget still contains funds to paint the roof and trim of the Town Hall, funds for the heating and air conditioning system for the building, and funds for storm windows. The council agreed to encourage private See BUDGET, Page A-8 County students measure up in state accountability project By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer The results are in from the second year of the state’s Outcome Accountability Project for public schools, and Rappahannock students improved in many measures. These latest results are for the 1990-91 school year, and can be compared to the 1989-90 year. Rappahannock students , did better in 26 measures, did worse in 11 and stayed the same in one. Results were not reported for Rappahannock students in some measures, mostly of minority students where the numbers were too small to report. The state measures schools in seven categories: preparing students for college, preparing students for work, increasing the graduation rate, increasing special education students’ living skills and opportuni Ross Perot candidacy receives mixed reviews By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Rappahannock’s Democratic and Republican party leaders are not counting on the Ross Perot candidacy fading as the election year goes on. “We’re going to take it seriously even if he’s not a declared candidate,” Ron Frazier, chairman of the local Republican Party, said. “It’s possible he will fade as people start asking questions,” Mr. Frazier continued. “The American people are going to demand that he be more specific.” He added that the parties cannot “wait and see” if the Perot candidacy fades. “We’ll just run the campaign, and if he wants to be involved, he’s going to have to participate.” He said that Mr. Perot is trying to protray himself(as someone who has not previously been involved in politics, “but that’s not true. He’s supported liberal Democrats. I don’t think he is in tune with the rank and file of people in Rappahannock. He’s not some new white knight on a white horse. He’s just another face from the same political organizations.” . Mr. Frazier said he thinks Mr. Perot’s appeal is coming from both sides, but mostly from people who have not previously been involved, who are “dissatisfied with the other candidates, and especially dissatisfied with President Bush as he has been portrayed in the media.” He said Mr. Perot is “trying to run against the media, but he wants them to give him free advertising. The media may play into it. Pm concerned that this guy is using them to his advantage.” Local Democratic Party chairman Kent Reeve feels the Perot campaign will still be strong in November because of the personal fortune Mr. Perot can spend on the campaign. He noted that Mr. Perot has said he can spend $100 million on the campaign. “That is one 30th of what he owns,” Mr. Reeve said. “He could run every four years for 120 years before he went broke.” Mr. Reeve said he believes the success of the Perot campaign shows that political party organizations and issues are less important than they once were. He noted that Republican strategy seems to be to try to "pin him [Ross Perot] down on the issues. They don’t understand that * See PEROT, Page A-8 ties, and educating elementary, middle, and secondary school students. For measures on preparing students for college, Rappahannock improved in five measurements and dropped in one. One measurement was not available for the 1989-90 school year. More Rappahannock students received the advanced studies diploma, 32 percent compared to 19 percent the previous year. A higher percentage of eighth graders were studying algebra and a foreign language. More students were taking advanced placement or college level courses, and 40 percent received a score of three or higher on AP tests. Also, more eighth graders scored above the 75th percentile on the composite score of the Iowa Basic Tests. However, a lower percentage of 11th grade students were above the 75th percentile. In preparing students for work, Rappahannock students scored better than last year in three measurements and lower in one. Ninety one percent of Rappahannock 11th graders were above the 25th percentile in reading and math and 85 percent took a course in keyboarding or typing. However, only 52 percent of those not planning farther education completed a vocational program. The state would like to see all students not planning further education complete such a program. School Superintendent David Gangel said he is not sure this is a desirable goal. He said the state requires that such students have marketable skills, but that does not necessarily mean a vocational program. Dr. Gangel said the school system is studying the problem of what to expect of the middle group of students — those between the college bound and the vocational completers — this summer. “We have to convince ourselves that a high school diSee SCORES, Page A-8 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sh.mm Kilpatnck Marshall Jordan has seen many changes in his 90 years living in Gid Brown Hollow. Marshall Jordan celebrates 90th By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncm Staff Writer Marshall Jordan will be 90 this coming Tuesday. He has lived almost all of those 90 years in Gid Brown Hollow. He was bom in a log cabin not far from his current home, one of six children, four girls and two boys. Only one sister is still living, and she is in Philadelphia. As children they would visit between families, “playing horseshoes and having ftin.” Families were lots burger then, he said. “Most everybody had six or seven in the family.” He didn’t have much opportunity for schooling. “My mother died when I was 13," he said. “My father was old, and I had to go to work to take care of him and my sisters.” He did sharecropping and other farm work. They had a milk cow and raised some hogs. Once he was grown, he went to West Virginia briefly and worked in a lime plant. He received word that his father wanted him to come home to put in a com crop and he came back and “stayed on.” When his father died, he married “Tom Timbers’s daughter Lucy Allen.” They had four sons; three lived and two are still living. George Jordan lives with his father, and Tom Jordan “lives up the road.” Both of his sons work in Fairfax County. His wife died 30 yean ago. See JORDAN, Page A-8

,. ■**;C S CRIME & PUNISHMENT iL iMiii.fai.iiMMiii.il Embry sentenced for perjury George Robert Embry, 36, of Amissville, was sentenced to three years in prison and two years supervised probation in Rappahannock County Circuit Court June 18. Judge W. Shore Robertson suspended the sentence, but ordered Embry to undergo periodic testing for alcohol abuse. Embry pleaded no contest to the perjury charge March 2. According to court records, he made false statements under oath during a trial May 14, 1991 in General District Court. Dana Lynn Hitt, 24, of Castleton, entered an Alford plea June 18 to an amended charge of receiving stolen property in connection with the theft of a chainsaw in January. An Alford plea is not an admission of guilt, but stipulates that the Commonwealth has sufficient evidence for a conviction if the case were tried. The felony charge was amended Phone bills increase for Centel customers Centel customers in the Washington (675) exchange will experience a slight increase in their monthly local telephone bills beginning in July. The increase results from the reclassification of this exchange into a higher local rate group, according to Sandy Edmonds, customer services manager in Centel’s business office. The reclassification was approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission. “All telephone exchanges in Virginia are assigned to specific rate groups according to the number of * 4 other customers that can be reached without making a long distance call,” Edmonds said. “The larger the number of other calls that can be placed without a long distance charge, the higher the exchange’s rate group will be.” Edmonds noted that growth in this exchange’s local calling area over the past several years has been such that is has elevated it to a higher rate group. Reclassification to a higher rate group can only occur after an exchange has exceeded the upper growth limit of its rate group by five percent. Changes in local service rates for Washington become effective July 1992. The rate increase applies only to charges for local access to the telephone network and does not include montly telephone instrument rental, zone charges or charges for enhanced services. Charges for long distance calls will be not affected. Welk received certificate, bond Twelve students won awards in The Potomac Edison Company’s 1992 Electrical Safety Poster Contest. Four top winners received cer' tificates of accomplishment and $50 savings bond from Potomac Edison for their efforts. Wesley Welk of Rappahannock Elementary School, . Stephen Grisez and Jason Frankel of Walkersville Middle School in Walkersville, Md. and Ronnie Ambrose of j Daniel Morgan Middle School in Winchester all took home savings bonds for their posters depicting the importance of using safety near elec tricity. Eight honorable mention winners were also named by contest judges. The 12 top poster creators will have their posters featured in a school-year calendar to be distributed to all service area schools by Potomac Edison in the fall. This is the third year for the poster contest, which has been established in order to impress upon Potomac Edison’s youngest customers the vital need for using care near electricity. Nearly 250 students from across the company’s service area in West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland entered the contest this year. 1 1992 f r from 9:00AMSmMeetATta i' 1992- for the purnosp * ,.?° Noon, JULY r®a* estate Uie board will eitheroraJ or SUC1H aqS2CR^ASE' DEcreasp t0nSDame' AND AnS? assessments.

In a companion case, Randy Lynn Hitt also entered an Alford plea to an amended charge of petty larceny in the same incident. Hitt was originally charged wit breaking and entering and grand larceny in the theft of the chainsaw. Hitt will also be sentenced Oct. 1. Judge Robertson also issued a capias for the arrest of Robert Boyd Tharpe, 20, of Manassas, for a violation of his probation. Tharpe was found guilty last year of petty larceny in the theft of a rifle he allegedly obtained from his grandfather under false pretenses. He received a 12 month suspended sentence, with 45 days to serve on weekends, and was ordered to pay restitution. According to court records, he has violated those terms. Commonwealth’s attorney Peter Luke asked for the capias, and Judge Robertson agreed. Caroll Amos Weaver Jr., 22, of Amissville, was sentenced to six years, with five suspended, for breaking and entering last Sept. 30. Weaver also received an additional 12 months in jail, to serve consecutively, on an amended charge of petty larceny. A companion charge of destruction of private property was not prosecuted, according to court records. Judge Robertson also sentenced Weaver to two years supervised probation following his release. Wendie Dee Morrison, 20, of Chester Gap, pleaded guilty to two counts of forgery and two counts of making a false application in a welfare fraud case. A third count and forgery and another charge of making a false application were not prosecuted. Morrison was sentenced to four years on each of the forgery charges, served consecutively, with six years’ suspended. The false application charges also netted two four year sentences, served consecutively, with seven years’ suspended. Judge Robertson ordered her to serve two years of the sentences in the Community Diversion Incentive program, and two years’ supervised probation following her release.

Castleton, Cannons face end of an era i Family's 80 years service with Post Office ends tomorrow By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer When Marti Cannon closes the Castleton Post Office in the basement of her home at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow, an era will come to an end. Since March 1914, a Cannon has been postmaster at Castleton. Now it appears there may not even be a post office at Castleton. Mrs. Cannon has resigned from the post office after deciding to return to teaching. The United States Postal Service has sent letters to the general delivery customers saying that the general delivery service will be suspended, and that officials from the postal service will be in contact with members of the community to determine their wishes. Most customers with Castleton addresses are served by a rural route that actually comes out of the Boston Post Office. Mrs. Cannon has been providing general delivery service for about 13 customers. Many of them are people with weekend homes in Castleton who will have problems seeing that mail in a box along the road is regularly emptied. She provides service at the post office for rural route customers also, selling money orders, receiving and mailing packages, selling stamps, and taking in priority and express mail registered letters and mail with postage due that can’t be delivered in person. She has noticed changes since she took over from her mother-inlaw, Ruby Cannon, in 1981. First class mail went from 20 cents to 29 cents. She said she has seen a large increase during the past two years in the number of packages mailed at Christmas. She believes this is due to the economy, with people staying home at Christmas and sending packages rather than travelling. On the other hand, she has also seen a dramatic increase in the use of express and priority mail. “They ask, ’How can I get it there fastest?”’ she said. “I very seldom see a personal handwritten letter,” she added. “People don’t correspond; they use the telephone.” Most of the first class mail she handles is bills coming in and payments going out. As a fourth class post office, Castleton is only supposed to be open two hours a day. Sometimes, she admits, she’s had to bend the rules to accommodate her customers. “The post office gets good marks for the service we’ve been giving,” she said. “It isn’t required. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Ray and Marti Cannon, who keep the Castleton Post Office in the basement of their home, will close the office tomorrow. It’s been a low key country post office.” What is required is quite a lot of paperwork. She has daily deposit slips to make up, and weekly, monthly and quarterly reports. Some days the only person she sees while the post office is open is the rural route carrier. When customers do come in, they visit for a while. She goes out with them to their cars. Many have praised her flowers and she says she has shared clippings from her plants with many of them. “I’ve met many interesting people,” she said. “I’ve loved every minute of it. I’ve had no bad experiences, but it’s time to do something else. I think I can contribute more to so many young lives.” But, Mrs. Cannon said she hopes a way will be found to continue to have a post office in Castleton. Ruby Cannon took over when her husband Ray Cannon retired in 1980. She was appointed officer in charge until Marti Cannon was named postmaster.

He was appointed in September 1940, taking over from his mother, Nena Cannon. She became postmaster when her husband, James F. Cannon, who served as postmaster from 1914 to 1940, retired. In fact, there was an even earlier Cannon. John N. Cannon served as postmaster from July 1884 until August 1885, but no one seems to know much about him. He took over from James Wright, Castleton’s first postmaster, who started with the post office in 1878. Ray Cannon said he didn’t really want the postmaster’s job when he applied for it. “It didn’t pay very much," he explained. He said one year he made $400 as postmaster and spent $225 for a trip to Los Angeles for the postmasters’ convention. He also ran a general store at the intersection now labeled “Castleton.” During his years as postmaster, he replaced it with another general store and post office across the road. He built a customized piece of furniture with the postmaster’s desk and pigeon holes for mail on one side and a window for postal customers on the other. It is now in Marti Cannon’s basement. Over the years he watched as post offices in Scrabble, Rock Mills, Laurel Mills and Estes were closed and consolidated into Castleton. His brother Alpheus Cannon delivered the mail on the rural route. Ray Cannon also farmed, “I let Ruby do the work while I was farming,” he said. He is still farming, and keeps a herd of purebred Angus. His son Jimmy helps with the farm and has his own herd, but he also works outside the county for the Marshall Farmers’ Co-op. And, Mr. Cannon sells a little real estate. Mr. Cannon has a set of receipt books from the post office that go back to his father’s day. On one page are receipts for money orders, one for three cents. He also hopes a way can be found to keep a post office in Castleton, | but after nearly 100 years, he says his family is through running it.

Located at the Amisville Carnival Grounds Rt. 211 west off Warrenton All Net camp mixes names, skills and fun By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Many Rappahannock youngsters had a choice of two camps this week with 4-H Day Camp at the center near Front Royal and the All Net Basketball Camp at the high school. More than 80 chose the basketball camp. On Monday some were learning the game for the first time while others were sharpening their skills for high school sports next year. This is the fifth year that high school basketball coach Gary Leake has organized the camp, and he said each year it has grown. The camp lasts four days. On Monday, Keith “Mister” Jennings, a former college player at East Tennessee State University who has played a year of professional ball in Europe, came as guest lecturer to teach ball-handling skills. On Tuesday Kenny Blakeney from Duke University taught shooting, and students worked at learning set plays such as “give and go” and “pick and roll." On Wednesday Carl Carter from James Madison University was to teach defense and rebounding. Thursday is to be an all-day double elimination tournament for each age group. Parents are invited for the day and athletic physicals will be given after the camp ends. The students are divided into groups by age and sex. Each had many opportunities to practice the skills that were taught. All six baskets were in use as the day went on. Mr. Leake said he had also a staff of 10 working as counselors, including four faculty members, three high school alumni and three area college players. Mr. Leake said this will give the camp an eight to one ratio of staff to campers. “This provides an opportunity for us to work with the kids in small groups,” he said. In addition to the tournament, the campers are divided into teams that play half-court games each day. This was a popular activity, but on Monday the most popular event was a full-court game with the college players among the staff taking on the teams of campers one at a time. This started with teams from the youngest group, 8 to 12-year old boys. The college players engaged in a fair amount of grandstanding but did not run up the score against the campers, and children cheered wildly whenever one of the campers managed to get a basket. Next the college players took on teams of upper elementary and high school girls. The challenge was still fairly one-sided, but by the time the college players had taken on four teams of junior varsity boys and then four teams of varsity-age boys, it was apparent the college players wished they had tackled these teams in a different order. Each of the campers and counselors gets a shirt, printed by Leading Edge Printers in Warrenton. Shenandoah Motors in Front Royal is providing the trophies and ribbons for the competition. Mr. Leake has been expecting to become a father any day for the past two weeks. “The success of the camp goes to the couselors,” he said. “They are energetic and motivated to work with kids. I'm fortunate to be surrounded by dedicated people, especially since I’m on alert this week w'rth a wife who is overdue with her pregnancy.” He said he enjoys seeing the campers have fun. "You want the kids to learn and improve, but you also want them to have fun. I like to hear them say, ‘That was great.I can hardly wait to come back next year.’” And, (parents take note) he promises that their children will sleep well this week.

The Audi! Bureau THURSDAY, JUNE 25,1992 Trimming time The Washington Town Council last week faced a familiar governmental quandary: where to cut the budget? During the past few years, the town has seen its budget grow by almost ten-fold, fueled mainly by the proceeds of the 2M> percent meals and lodging tax. From the mid-1980s, when the budget was approximately $13,000, last year’s budget was more than $103,000. That increased revenue has gone to fund a number of projects the town badly needs. Replacement of aging sidewalks, preliminary work on an overhaul of the town’s water system, the purchase of the former library and increased support of the Washington VFD were all worthy goals that required public money to accomplish. Much of that work remains incomplete. But the council is also faced with governments’ common problem — the public trough is not bottomless. Sooner or later, the taxpayers balk when asked to continue increasing their contribution. That happened last month when the council proposed raising the meals and lodging tax by another one-half percent. The public, in the form of the affected business owners, balked. They had a valid point — that their guests are paying for the major portion (76 percent) of the town’s budget. They don’t mind a small tax bite, but object to the chunk getting bigger. These are tough times, and governments across the country are having to make do with less in their budgets than they might like to have. The same is true for Washington, Virginia. 7 things to do • Buy lemonade from any kid who’s selling. • Anytime you can, vote. • Choose having time over having money. • Always take the scenic route. • Give money to all street musicians. • Always be someone’s Valentine. • When the circus comes to town, be there. —Anonymous Rappahannock Heritage Yarrow is blooming all over Rappahannock County. Rappahannock News Staff Phot<VCindy Mahan * • etters to the Editor ■t i •. iBKMi Searching for ancestors To the Editor: I am researching my ancestors from Fauquier County. My greatgrandfather was Maurice Wendell Holmes (1883-1956). He married Ella Estelle Moreland (1880-1951). His father was Monroe J. Holmes (1837-1897), who married Bettie M. Olinger (1856-1913). Their children were Maurice, Ola, Lester, Cecil, Raymond, Hulda, Lula May and Stonewall Jackson. When Monroe died, Maurice was quite young, but Monroe’s father, whose name may have been Randolph Holmes, was still alive when my grandfather, Oliver Wendell Holmes, was young. Monroe and his father both served in the Civil War and were from Bealeton. I hope some of your readers may be able to give me some information on my ancestors. BETSY HOLMES ORRISON Route 3, Box 188 Luray, Va. 22835 'Scuse me, Mr. Perot? To the Editor: Although it may be true, as the LeKanders state, that Ross Perot has not put forth any “quick fixes” for the country’s problems, let us not overlook the fact that he has not come up with any slow ones either. Not only does he often fail to make sense, he consistently displays an ignorance of, or a contempt for, the Constitution that is truly amazing, almost as amazing as the willingness of his followers to overlook it. Take, for example, a recent interview in the TV Guide in which he brought up the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, . .where two people were just destroyed for partisan reasons. My thought was, would I put a person through that? That. . .was hardheaded thinking.” ‘Scuse me, Mr. Perot? That was not thinking at all. I’ve wiped up baby dribble that made more sense than that. Destroyed? Who? Clarence Thomas is now an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Anita Hill gets $10,000 a speech. To a billionaire like Ross Perot, that may be “destruction,” but set alongside what you get for writing letters to the editor, it looks pretty good, let me tell you. Does Mr. Perot mean that if he nominated anyone to sit on the Court, he would simply tell the Senate that that was the way it was going to be, no confirmation needed, no debate allowed? Tell this to a Senate that owes him no allegiance whatever? Where can I get tickets to THAT show? Or does he mean that he just won’t nominate any justices? That doesn’t sound too bad. Doesn’t sound much like Ross Perot, though. When he realized that the Navy was not goint to run itself to suit him, Mr. Perot tried every way he knew to pick up his marbles and go home. At General Motors, this self styled expert at bringing minds together in harmonious agreement made hismelf so disagreeable doing so that the GM people gave him a lot of their marbles to get him to go home. What’s going to happen if he finds himself in the Oval Office and discovers that it isn’t Camelot after all? Mr. Perot, by his own admission, is a man who makes his own rules, and there’ll be a lot more at stake then than marbles: EDITH POND Sperryville 30 YEARS AGO June 28, 1962 Mrs. Ethel Cooksey has retired from the position of Postmistress of the Amissville post office after serving there for over 28 years.

In memory of Jurisprudence By DIANE BRUCE Rappahannock New. Contributing Writer Jurisprudence, the Courthouse Cat, age unknown but at least 10 years old, of Washington, Virginia died Thursday, June 18 at her home after a short illness. Her ancesteral heritage and place of birth are unknown; however her first known residence was with her four children, all of whom lived beneath the back porch of the Rappahannock County Jail prior to its renovation in 1983. Three of her children were adopted into loving homes and the fourth child led a proud and adventurous life roaming the streets and Inns of Little Washington. He has not been heard from in quite a few years. Upon being assured that her children were taken care of, Prudy, as she was fondly called by her loyal friends, adopted Ruth Blackwell, Clerk of the General District Court. There she lived the luxurious and pampered lifestyle for which was born, indulging in delicacies such as Whiska Lickins and Moist Meals. Upon Ms. Blackwell’s retirement in 1987, Prudy adopted Ruth Kilby, Rappahannock County’s General Registrar, where she continued her reknowned lifestyle and conducted business in the usual fashion, specifically sleeping on a stack of papers in the middle of Ruth’s desk. Prudy was not just a taker. She returned the favors and made her contributions to county government by helping eradicate mice and bats around the Courthouse. On weekends, when the offices were closed, she made her way by feasting at The Inn and various other local establishments known for their outstanding cuisine. Jurisprudence’s only known survivors are her most recently adopted family members, Betsy, Beverly and Frances at the office of the Commissioner of Revenue. She was predeceased by Ruth Blackwell and Ruth Kilby. Funeral services were held Thursday, June 18 at the Courthouse. Memorial contributions may be made to the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWL), where, fortunately, Prudy never had to reside. Prudy will be missed by her loyal adopted families, numerous lawyers, judges and friends at the Courthouse and from all over the United States, South America, Europe and the former Soviet Union.

Perot's 'trust me' style unlikely to appeal to most Va. voters By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Nmi Special Writer The voice emanating from a Northern Virginia radio studio is deep and strident, as the man it belongs to again calls John Dean “a serial mass perjurer.” G. Gordon Liddy, 20 years after the famous Watergate break-in that eventually led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, is now a talk show host. It was Mr. Liddy who masterminded the failed burglary, and who went to prison for five years rather than testify before a Senate committee or courts about it. Mr. Liddy, who is being sued for millions by Mr. Dean and his wife in a slander suit, has gained popularity by portraying himself as the ultimate outsider, someone who views the entire Washington establishment as corrupt and urges a cleansing of the political system. Even so, he has not yet jumped on the Ross Perot bandwagon because he isn’t sure what the Texas billionaire stands for. As a conservative in a state that usually votes conservatively, Mr. Liddy is not alone in that regard. Though one recent poll showed Mr. Perot with a narrow lead over President Bush in Virginia, my impression from talking with people, even those who have signed petitions to put Mr. Perot on the ballot, is that they have no real idea of what he would do if elected President. They are for him mainly because they perceive him as someone who has been outside the political process — a perception which is apparently far from accurate.

Old Dominion Politics Mr. Perot’s message so far has been, “Trust me, I’ll make it work,” and judging by his success in business the message is a powerful one. Yet I think Mr. Perot will have to get much more specific to stand a chance of carrying Virginia in November, a state inherently suspicious of people, who make vague promises such as, “I’m from the goverment and I’m here to help you,” or, “Don’t worry, I’ll put the check in the mail on Friday.” One of the reasons that Virginians might feel that the federal system can be made to work again, without the radical step of electing as President of the United States someone unaffiliated with either of the two major parties, is that in Virginia state government has worked and worked well. From the time of Jefferson to the present, the General Assembly of Virginia has met its responsibilities to the people. Virginia remains a low tax state but, despite some unfair disparities, has a generally excellent public school systems, has some of the outstanding state colleges and universities in the nation, has a good systems of roads despite the gridlock occasionally experienced by Mr. Liddy and others in Northern Virginia, and gives its residents good value for the tax dollars it collects. And Virginia has relatively little in the way of public debt because Virginians have always insisted on a balanced budget — spending within the means of government. No better example could be cited than the belt-tightening put into effect by the governor and General Assembly when the recession hit and tax revenues were drastically reduced. Though there were some partisan differences on how to accomplish the goal of a balanced budget, in the final analysis legislators of both parties agreed to the painful cuts that were necessary to achieve the goal. Given the fact state government has served them well because it has reflected their conservatism, Virginians naturally wonder why the national government has been so inept in controlling spending and the deficit. And when election day comes, they are likely, as has been the case in the past, to be looking for candidates who will take to Washington the integrity in government that has been part of the state’s tradition. If Mr. Perot is someone who can do that, he will have to convince Virginians before he gets their votes.

Mrs. Simmons displays over 50 artists, nearly all from the area, and she said “the shop has done very well, without exception. We have done better than the month before since we opened.” Inside the ancient building, always used for mercantile trade, are things from every aspect of the art world: wood, clay, glass, weavings and carvings. The three-room shop also sells the work of local craftsmen such as Jon Brandon and Tom von Fange. There are wooden toys with moving parts by Jim Clark, there are blownglass vases or blows by Sperryville’s | The shop is filled with a variety of art and handcrafts. Eric Kavarnes, there’s Bill Cook’s baskets in various shapes and sizes and music by Trapezoid. Besides art on display, Mrs. Simmons also does formal showings. Her first was Rappahannock’s Ray Heus in October 1991. In the fall she plans her second — photographs by Henry Eastwood. “It’s all kinds of things,” she said, demonstrating a necklace of ceramic and aromic herbs with matching earrings made in Orange County. “I never dreamed” I would own a store, she said, adding her oldest son, an artist in Northern Virginia, may have been her inspiration. Hours for the store are Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. In June, Mrs. Simmons plans to introduce evening hours on a trial basis.

Handmade furniture is focus at Talliferro's Fauquier craft house opens By FRANCES BISHOPP Time*-Democrat Staff Writer WARRENTON — Harold Gaddis and Tod Copper throughout their long careers with IBM shared more than just a basic knowledge of IBM products and how to sell them. Beneath the corporate exteriors, the conservative suits and ties and white collar images, were two craftsman who loved to work with their hands and build things out of wood. Today, who each took early retirement packages from IBM in recent years, have opened up their new business, Taliaferro’s Craft House at 9 N. Fifth St., based on skills carefully honed in their home workshops over the years. Needless to say, like anyone who opens a business based on a well-loved hobby, they are delighted and enthusiastic about their new venture. Taliaferro’s Craft House specializes in handmade custom furniture, wall systems, kitchen cabinets, countertops and crafts. The small showroom on Fifth Street has a few of the pieces the two men have made. ' In reality, they can make anything out of any wood in any style. Both men have their own workshops in their homes where they stay continually busy building furniture. Using woods such as cherry, walnut and oak, both men prefer the colonial style that ranges from Early American to Queen Ann and Chippendale. It is obvious from the work that both men are perfectionists. Every piece is beautifully crafted and refmished in an antique mellow style, soft to the eye but durable to the touch. Both are designers as well. Gaddis’s custom kitchen cabinets built out of cherry offer amazing design details that cooks and kitchen users universally would appreciate. He also built an innovative computer desk out of oak, combining various aspects of his computer knowledge into the design. The printer and keyboard slide cleverly out of sight when not in use. Copper has come up with a brilliant idea for the children of the house who won’t take their dirty clothes to the hamper in the ! hall. An attractive oak bookcase is combined with a pullout door which hides a plastic bin. Voila — the perfect combination — the children can do their homework and put their dirty clothes away all at the same time. Copper started working with wood as a boy, progressing to the point that he was able to build his own home several years ago. Gaddis said he started his hobby in his thirties when he “at last had the money to buy the expensive tools necessary to build the type of furniture he wanted.” Both men are ready to custom build any type of kitchen cabinet or furniture arfil say they can do it < just from a picture or a custom- ' er’s idea. They are very particular about every aspect of the proc- * ess. They refinish with many * coats of tung oil, rubbed in be- I tween, or a laborious environ- * mentally-safe sprayed lacquer process that required much prac- » tice to meet their rigid standards " of excellence * “It took me six months and * gallons of lacquer to get this proc- • ess just right,” said Gaddis. * Other members of the family * have gotten into the act at Talia- * ferro’s as well. Gaddis’s mother- * in-law, Joanne Gust, a talented ’ artist in her own right, creates | floorcloths, an old-fashioned item * to sell at the shop. Floorcloths are made out of » thick canvas, painted with Pennsylvania Dutch art and then varnished. The result is a colorful * mat that can be hung on the wall or actually used on the floor. i “These floorcloths were used as early as the 1400s,” said Gaddis. “You are apt to see them in historic homes. In fact, Thomas Jefferson had one in the White House.” ; For more information about Taliaferro’s Craft House, call 3471479.

Scores Continued from page A-l ploma means something in terms of marketable skills,” he said. He would like to see a program emphasizing general rather than vocation-specific skills. “Perhaps we should look at something of a entrepreneur-type program,” he said. "All students need problem-solving skills.” On measurements for increasing the graduation rate, Rappahannock students improved on four measures and did worse on two. More sixth grade students passed all three sections of the literacy passpost test on the first try. Fewer students dropped out of school between seventh and 12th grades. One measurement that dropped was attendance. The state measures that by determining the percentage of students in kindergarten through 12th grade who miss 10 or fewer days of school. In the 1989-90 school year 82 percent of Rappahannock’s students met that criterion. Last year, only 62 percent did. This was a problem throughout the state. The state percentage dropped from 68 to 66 percent. In this area Culpeper dropped from 70 to 61 percent. Fauquier County students dropped from 94 to 61 percent, and Warren County students dropped from 61 to 56 percent. Attendance improved in two adjoining counties, Madison and Page, increasing from 65 to 69 percent in Madison and from 58 to 64 percent in Page. Dr. Gangel said he felt the increased effort to keep students in school might actually be contributing to the increased rate of absences. “We have made a whole-hearted effort to keep children in school,” he said. “In the past when they were absent a certain number of days, we took them off the books. Now we are pro-active. In some cases we have used the court. system over and over. It’s frustrating. We haven’t been able to solve all the problems.” He also noted that about 20 percent of Rappahannock’s students transferred into or out of the school system during the past year. “The students are more transient and that may impact the attendance situation,” he suggested. In measurements of providing special education Rappahannock did not do as well in 1990-91 as in 198990. However, 50 percent of the special education students passed all three sections of the literacy pass-' port exam. One area where Rappahannock ranks low is the percentage of spe Budget Continued from page A-1 ftind raising activities to pay for furnishings for the Town Hall. In considering the Comprehensive Plan, Planning Commission Chairman Louise Van Dort read from a list of questions and comments sent in by Diane Bruce. Some of Ms. Bruce’s suggestions were incorporated in the plan. Mr. Miller suggested that preserving the residential character of the town be made one of the goals. The other members of the council and Planning Commission agreed. The first goal was expanded to cover Mr. Miller’s suggestion and a policy was adopted to encourage and preserve residential development, especially in the village residential and rural residential zones, but also in the village mixed use zone. The Planning Commission approved the Comprehensive Plan as amended. The council will consider it again at the July 8 meeting. cial education students aged 15 to 21 who have supervised opportunities to participate in paid or unpaid work. Dr. Gangel said the school system expects to try to introduce such a program in the coming year. “It’s not for everyone,” he said. “It depends on the handicapping condition.” He said some special education students are working under supervision in the school system, but he hopes to add a “community based” program next year. In the other three categories, Rappahannock students did generally well on measurements that were based on standardized testing. More students also passed physical fitness requirements. Perot Continued from page A-1 the Republican Presidents weren’t elected because of their stands on issues. Reagan was always more popular than any issues he stood for, and Bush rode in on the crest of that and is now having to stand on his own.” Mr. Reeve noted that most attacks on Perot are coming from Republicans. He said he has not been included in any campaign plans but he believes the “Democratic strategy is to sit low and let those two duke it out if that’s what they want.” Mr. Reeve said he sees Mr. Perot’s campaign as “the man’s response to the perceived inadequacies of Goerge Bush ... but the appeal of the Perot candidacy is not just based on contempt for George Bush but on contempt for how Washington has worked for the past 20 years, especially the last 12 years with Republican Presidents and Democratic Congresses.” Honor Our World Champion Washington Redskins ★ America’s greatest fireworks L show by Ruggieri-USA, L masters of pyrotechnics since 1739. ★ Champion stunt pilot Earle Andrews will delight spectators with spine tingling aerobatics in his Pitt Special. ★ Hayrides ★ Pony Rides ★ Children's Games Great Meadow, The Plains ^ July 4,1992 .

Smithsonian ensemble series begins at The Theatre in fall :/ Four highly acclaimed musical ensembles from the Smithsonian Institution will perform in a new series at The Theatre at Washington during the 1992-1993 season. The series will begin on Sept. 19, with further performances on Dec. 5, March 13 and April 10. The concerts, part of an on-going project at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, are designed to make the museum’s musical programs available to audiences throughout the mid-Atlantic region. The series at The Theatre will provide the residents and visitors of Rappahannock County and the Piedmont area of Virginia an opportunity to experience the Smithsonian’s diverse musical programming in their own community. “The Smithsonian at Little Jordan Continued from page A-1 At one time he worked for the WPA building roads in the Five Forks area, “with a pick and shovel.” However, mostly he worked on farms. “I worked for [D. Lyle] “B” Miller for 13 years,” he This meant mostly work in the large orchard and apple packing plant. He also worked with cattle and helped with crops like corn.* They worked with horses and later he drove a tractor, but he never drove a car. His pay was usually no more than 50 or 75 cents a day. “Nobody is hiring much now,” he said. “Farmers that were doing that work, a lot sold out or died. Farmers that are coming in are not doing like that.” He notices that the hollow is much less open than it was. “Sixty or 70 years ago, most of this was cleared land. A lot of land that used to be cleared is grown up now.” He notes that a lot of land on his own eight acres is grown up that used to be open farm land. A younger friend, Junior Johnson, keeps a garden on his place and gives him some of the produce. Mrs. Johnson’s wife cans some, and Mr. Jordan gets some of that also. He used to do his own canning. He says that there are also fewer people living- in the hollow than when he was a boy. “All of them are gone,” he said. “I’m about the oldest one in here now.” Social life was less rushed, he said. “You’d go visit someone and sit and talk, maybe play dominoes.” He doesn’t remember much dancing. There is one dance he does remem-1 said. ber though. It was at a house in Harris Hollow. They were dancing the Virginia reel. The host had an “epileptic fit, and they dragged him out of the way and kept on dancing.” But mostly things were pretty quiet. “You’d go to someone’s house, talk, go home and go to bed, go to church,” he said. He can’t get to his church, the Promise Land Baptist Church, any more. He has diabetes and suffers from chest pains when he tries to do much. He is pleased that his pastor, John Pendleton, comes to visit and brings communion. “The Lord has been good to me,” he said. “He’s kept me here a long time.” Recently his friend Nels Parson took him to Washington, D.C. to visit the Lincoln Memorial. He’d been to Washington before, when his niece lived there, but he hadn’t visited the monuments. The cherry trees were blooming. “It was great seeing them and all the people who were there that day,” he said. He has trouble finding foods he likes to eat that are allowed on his diet. “I used to eat hog meat three times a day, and now I can’t eat hog meat,” he said. “I can eat a little chicken, but they say I have to take the skin off, and that’s the best part.” He said he had been taking pills for years. He joked with his doctor that, “if you cut me open, you won’t find nothing but pills.” Still, Mr. Jordan allows that he’s had a pretty good life. “I’ve never been in trouble, and I’ve never been locked up, and that’s more than a lot of them can say. My Daddy told me if I didn’t want to get in trouble, stay out of bad company, and I took him at his word. “But you can’t tell that to these children today. I worry about what’s going to come of this world.” Washington” series will feature performances by the Castle Trio, the ' Smithson String Quartet, the Smithsonian American Song Company and Hesperus.

Thoughts about Perot and the Presidency I do not know if Ross Perot would be a good president. I believe he would make an honest effort. I believe everyone makes an effort to the extent they are able. However those in the two m^jor political parties are restricted by the party and by contributors. They are doing it the way that it has always been done. Even the press seems prejudiced since Perot isn’t doing it in the usual way. Every promise, every gesture, and each emotion laid through the media by the party candidates is carefully measured and calculated to get a vote. The whole scenario is a performance. We get no real information. We, the listeners, are being insulted. The candidate looks us in the eye with a mean of great honesty and sincerity and then promises to do something that he cannot do. He knows that you know he is making a false promise. He knows that you know that he knows that you know that he is lying, but he smiles confidentialy and keeps on, the happy warrior. And that is what you get for a President, false promises and calculated insults, but if you need the comfort of having it done the way it has always been done, there it is. Remember the old saw, “If you keep doing things the way you have been doing them, you will keep getting the results you have been getting." Several people have said to me that they will not support Perot until he comes up with some positive programs. I for one, will be disappointed if Perot starts coming up with solutions. What he says now is that he will seek the advice of competent and intelligent assistance and that he will be an advocate of what seems the best thing to do. I hope that he will just stick with that. Others say that he is buying the Presidency; I would prefer a President who bought it rather than what we have been getting; people who sell it. He will, having bought it, cherish it a little closer. I cannot imagine that he would tax the rich unmercifully since he is Day By Day one, and I believes he likes being rich. Reason tells me that socialism would not sweep the country, of all people, he is the capitalist. He is independent in the sense that he owes no party and no special interest. A special interest will be considered for what it weighs and not for a monetary donation to the cause. There is nothing in this candidate to arouse fear in me. 1 have no party position that I will lose, I have no money at risk or investments hanging on political decisions. I am retired and aging. Not long ago I thought that I could just relax and eryoy a little golf, reading, thinking, playing with the grandchildren when it pleased me, get them out of sight when they annoyed me. In short, I had served my time. But I kept reading the paper and listening to the news and looking at the environment. It occurred that this world has gone to the dogs since I have been in it. Our children and our children’s children are the products and the victims of our search for comfort. People my age should be the ones ' most interested in eliminating the debt, clearing the pollution, feeding the poor, guiding the disadvantaged and helping countries that desperately need help. We probably have most of the money, we are experienced and educated, and most of all we have nothing else to do that is really worth doing in comparison. That is why I am for someone different and especially one that has no backs to scratch, and no elses cause to pitch.

Aren't you more apt to think of weeds that need to be pulled, or mosquitoes, or a poor shot than you are of God? But when you visit your church or synagogue, it is with the specific intention of worshiping. Here you engage in prayer, praise and thanksgiving. Here you mingle with people who are seeking God and have come to feel His presence. In the quiet beauty of His house you find few outside distractions, and you know that this place is dedicated to the service of God. For peace and happiness which comes from really feeling God's presence,worship in the house of the Lord this week. Make it a regular practice.

New dairy foods to meet changing consumer tastes * By HELEN W. SMITH KiUmion Afcnt. Hum* Economic* For my last June column during “June is Dairy Month,” I’d like to share some information on new dairy products that I recently received from the Virginia Dairy Association. The 1990s consumer is more health-conscious than ever. As a result, consumer purchasing habits are changing almost daily as new information on food and nutrition-related issues is released. How is the dairy industry meeting consumer demands for more nutritious foods? It has identified niches in the marketplace and created new products to satisfy a variety of changing tastes. A number of dairy manufacturers are producing products for special groups like lactose intolerant consumers who cannot easily digest the sugar in milk. Previously, lactose intolerant people would have to use lactase additives or drink special milks. Dean Foods in Franklin Park, 111. has developed “Easy 2 percent,” a product processed like other two percent milks, but with the lactose level dramatically reduced. Dean Foods adds a lactase enzyme that breaks down 70 percent of the compound sugar lactose into simple sugars for easier digestion. The milk tastes slightly sweeter, but has no HOME ECONOMICS extra calories. Mayfield Farms, a Dean Foods division in Athens, Tenn., has introduced “NuTrish A/B,” a whole milk fortified with acidophilus and bifidus, which are bacteria that aid digestion. Children spend approximately six billion dollars annually, and are a powerful and growing force in foodproduct trends. The dairy industry is responding to children’s needs by creating products specifically designed for them. Marigodl, manufacturer of the Kemps product line, recently introduced “Kemps Yogurt Junior,” the first line of children’s yogurt. Noble & Association, a firm specializing in food marketing, advertis ing, and product development, projects an increasing emphasis on dairy products in special child-size appetizers, entrees, and desserts. And a long-time favorite among children, chocolate milk, is seeing increased competition from different flavored milks. Children and adults are enjoying strawberry, banana, coffee and coconut-pineapple milks. New products for adults also are being developed, test-marketed, and introduced across the country. The new products must be fast, convenient and healthy. According to an expert at Noble & Associates, “Fusion cuisine — combining different ethnic foods like Mexican and Oriental — is becoming more popular as adults search for variety in the diet consumed outside the home.” When stopping by the grocery store instead of the restaurant, adults want convenience and balance, especially in the dairy case. Country Lake Foods, a division of Land 0 Lakes Inc. in Minneapolis, has introduced ‘Tasty, Light and Creamy,” or “TLC.” TLC milk, available in two percent, one percent, skim and one percent chocolate milk, has substantial texture and taste but is lower in calories. According to Davis Schwain, vice president of marketing for Country Lake Foods, “More milk protein is added to the product, giving it m richer taste than other lower fat milks. The TLC line gives calorieconscious adults a taste treat that they can feel good about." Desserts, like ice cream and frozen yogurt, are changing to meet new consumer desires. Consumers can now eat frozen desserts without feeling guilty. Lower calorie desserts that retain the consistency and taste of premium ice creams are being introduced by Klondike and Dove International. Klondike’s new “Sensation” dairy dessert uses a new technology that removes 75 percent of the cholesterol from the milkfat before the ice cream is made. And Klondike’s light ice cream sandwich has just 90 calories, yet retains its rich taste. Dove International’s introduction of the ice cream candy bar, including 3 Musketeers, Snickers and Milky Way, has been highly successful among today’s consumers. And finally, ethnic groups are showing an increasing demand for specialty dairy products. “Many Hispanics have grown up in countries where higher fat milk is the norm. They have grown accustomed to the rich flavor and prefer it over whole milk.” said Marc Goldman, president of Farmland Dairies in New Jersey.
