At the School Board’s regular monthly meeting last week she brought information on known pregnancies and said that she assumed there were other pregnancies that never came to her attention. Mrs. Brown said that in the 198990 school year she knew of one pregnancy that was terminated by an abortion. In 1990-91 she said she knew of four abortions and one live birth. In 1991-92 she said she knew of one abortion and four live births, but there were additional pregnancies by the end of the school year. She said of the 1992 graduates at least eight were pregnant. Two of the juniors were pregnant; three of the sophomores were pregnant, and one ninth grader was pregnant. She said that a senior did an anonomous survey of other seniors early in the year and found that six boys and eight girls were virgins, 28 percent of the class. The average age when the sexually active teenagers lost their virginity according to the survey was 14 or 15. ** Mrs. Brown said that she felt certain that 17 girls of the 47 in last year’s ninth grade class are sexually active, and she suspects that another six probably are. If that is so it means that indeed almost 50 percent of the girls are sexually active by the age of 14 or 15. She said also that in May a group of ninth grade girls approached her and said they were concerned because they knew younger girls, in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades were sexually active. “They said these younger girls don’t know the risks yet,” she said. She said the girls were also “concerned for themselves. They said they didn’t know enough. They felt they were taught too little too late. They said they felt inhibited in asking questions of male teachers.’’ She said the teachers were also upset about teaching these subjects. She suggested the public health nurse should “have access to the students in the classroom. “Birth control is not an English teacher’s area of expertise,” she ‘It’s our responsibility to let the community know there is a problem.’ —Beverly Massie added. She suggested that the public health nurse also have access to girls in fifth, sixth and seventh grades “so they will have a forum for asking questions.” Mrs. Brown suggested the school system also try to find a male doctor or intern to have similar meetings with the boys. “With all due respect, we need to rethink this aspect of the Family Life curriculum,” she said. “The plan in writing is very good, but the manner in which it is carried out is not meeting the need, and the teachers are uncomfortable.” She said the school system also needed to work harder with younger children to teach them decision-making skills. “Teenaged pregnancy is not the problem; it’s a symptom of risk taking behavior,” she said. Chairman Beverly Massie said Mrs. Brown had brought this to the School Board’s attention because of a conversation they had in May, when she asked Mrs. Brown if the Family Life Education curriculum was meeting the needs of the students. “There is evidence that we have a problem,” Mrs. Massie said. “We have to decide what our educational role should be. We would be more comfortable if the families were taking care of this, but it is not happening.” Superintendent David Gangel said he had conducted a study that seems to indicate the teachers are covering the areas of the Family Life Curriculum they are assigned to teach. “We have to question whether the children are maturing faster than we thought,” Mrs. Massie said.

County ranks third in state in numbers of apple trees By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer After 20 years of declining apple tree numbers, the 1992 Virginia Apple and Peach Tree Survey, released last month, shows an increase of nearly 500,000 trees on commercial apple orchards. The same survey reveals that Rapphannock County is now sixth largest in the state in terms of production and third in terms of trees. In 1982, Rappahannock was shown to have 66,098 total trees, approximately 48 trees per acre. In 1987, Rappahannock's figures ticked up to 74,510 total trees with approximately 43 trees per acre. By 1992, however, Rappa- - hannock had leaped up to some fairly astounding figures — 179,798 total trees, averaging approximately 183 trees per acre. County Extension agent Tommy Williams largely credits Mellen Plantation and Orchards for the impressive increase reported in the survey. “Mellen Plahtation has put out a lot of Apple tree survey Total number of trees onft non i Data: Va. Dapt. of Agriculture and Conaumar Sarvlcaa Rappahannock News Graphic/John Bretschneider trees,” said Mr. Williams, “but other growers have also increased their numbers as well.” “In 1987, Mellen decided to go into it in a big way,” said Mr. Williams, “and it has made a big difference.” Mellen Plantation, located on Route 630 in Flint Hill, is owned by Dr. Peter Nielsen and managed by two brothers, Kevin and Mike Melton. With 160 acres of See Apple; Page A-5 Resubdivision of 175 acres turned down By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* SUIT Writer The county Planning Commission voted to recom-. mend denial of a resubdivision of 175 acres from three lots to five lots last Wednesday night. Strange Investors had applied to resubdivide the property based on acquiring a pipestem addition to the property. The three parcel subdivision had been granted administratively by County Administrator John McCarthy because all the lots were larger than 50 acres. It is served by a .3 mile 15-foot wide deeded right of way to Route 642 near Amissville. Philip Strange said he had an option to purchase a 50 foot wide .7 mile long strip of land that would allow access to Route 611. He had applied to divide the property into five lots ranging from 22.5 acres to 54 acres, three served by the new road and the other two using the existing right-of-way. George Kidwell, who also uses the right-of-way, said it is a narrow piece of road that sometimes floods. “Once you start on it,* there is no place fee pass,” he added. He said he had only one landowner above him and hadn’t had any trouble with that, but now there are three lots with five proposed. He said there would be nothing to keep the other three lot owners from also using the right-of-way and that it would be a shorter route to Amissville for property owners on the parcel. Mr. Strange said the two roads would not be connected and that he could write deed restrictions to prevent the other three lot owners from using the right-of way. Mike Massie, who represents the Board of Supervisors on the Planning Commission, asked if Mr. Strange would be willing to give up the right-of-way for the two lots and have all lot owners use the pipestem road. Mr. Strange said he would not be willing to do that. William Keim said'he owned land that joins the property for three-fourths of a mile. “I would look straight up at a housing development. It makes me feel ill,” he said. Mr. Strange said he had planned house sites for the five lots, and that he did not believe they would all be visible. James Massie and Lindsey Eastham from the Rappahannock Farmers Association said they were concerned about more land going out of farming and into subdivisions. Mr. Eastham said it would be better to put all five houses in one corner of the property and leave the rest oj>en for farmland. Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Sharon Pierce said the planners had allowed such development in the past when the landowner requested it but could not require it. Mr. McCarthy said he was concerned with the precedent of allowing land that is otherwise land-locked to be developed by buying a narrow pipestem. He said the original property had been divided leaving this parcel not developable because it is served only by a narrow right-of-way. By putting in a road along a pipestem See Acres, Page A-3 Lawmakers have mixed reaction to stadium move By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Nona Staff Writer Rappahannock’s representatives to the General Assembly are mostly taking a “wait and see" attitude towards Gov. Douglas Wilder’s deal with Jack Kent Cooke to move the Washington Redskins team to Alexandria. “I’m in favor of a stadium being built in Virginia, but I have a lot of concerns about the $130 million in bonds,” Del. Jerry Wood, D-31st, said. “Eighty percent of the people I talk to say they are in favor of a stadium in Alexandria or close by,” he said. “They feel it . will be an asset to the Virginia economy, but there are concerns about the taxpayers’ money.” Del. Wood said he had no information about the deal “beyond what I’ve read in the paper. And I’m not going to jump to conclusions. The reaction by the Alexandria city council may be justified, or it may be knee jerk. I will wait until I see the whole plan and what incentives there are to bring Alexandria and the General Assembly along.” Noting that the Alexandria location is near National Airport he said it might be “almost impossible for a quarterback to be audible in that situation. We have to find out whether it is practical to think about putting it there, but I’m in favor of bringing it to Virginia.” He said a lot of the objections were to the way the deal was announced. “This is a typical reaction to the things the governor does, but this is the way he operates, and there is not much we can do about it. In a business agreement, you don’t want a lot of people involved inititally.” Sen. Kevin Miller, R-26th, who represents most of Rappahannock County, said, “Like everyone else, I don’t know the details, but I’m opposed to it. I would like to see a Redskins Stadium in Virginia, maybe in Loudoun or somewhere that it is wanted by See Move, Page A-5 County Ross Perot supporters regroup By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer When Ross Perot announced he would not run for the Presidency last Thursday, his followers were stunned. That was true in Rappahannock as well as elsewhere. By the weekend they had become more reconciled to the news. John LeKander said he had been in the process of giving up his position as county coordinator anyway because of health problems. “We’re all regrouping,” he said. “I trust the reasons he gave are the true reasons,” Mr. LeKander said. He noted that from the beginning Ross Perot had said he didn’t want to do anything to hurt the country. “He decided that putting the election into the House of Representatives would do more damage than good," he said. “What he did was good, even if he got in and decided he couldn’t stand it,” he added. “A lot of good was done by having this grass roots effort.” He said that some of Mr. Perot’s supporters have told him they will now “stay home on election day. I don’t think I will vote for Clinton, and I’m still pretty upset with Bush. I haven’t decided,” he said. He noted that Mr. Perot’s name will still be on the ballot for those who want to cast “a protest vote.” See Perot, Page A-7

Brown recaptured Two killed in accident Charles Allen Brown, 27, is back in custody, a week after he escaped from the Rappahannock County Jail. Maj. Ed Streapy of the Sheriffs Office said Brown was recaptured without incident Sunday evening behind Billy Menefee’s house on Main Street in Sperryville. Streapy said a report was received earlier that day that Brown had been sighted near Sperryville, and Deputy Chris Williams was sent to the area to investigate. Streapy said he and Lt. Ray Jackson responded from their homes, and he requested Warren County’s tracking dog to aid in the search. After positioning Williams and Jackson in the field, Streapy said, “I yelled to him, ‘Charles, this is Maj. Streapy. This has gone on long enough. It’s time to give it up’.” Streapy said Brown replied, “Here I am,” and stepped from behind a small building in the field, then sat on the ground with his hands out. Streapy declined to provide details about how Brown was located, but said, “He looked tired — I think he was ready to give it up.” However, Streapy confirmed that sheriffs deputies had searched Menefee’s house July 17 after receiving a tip that Brown might be there. After his return to jail, Brown was served with indictments for felony escape by force and iiyury to a I Please enter my new I subscription to EJUppafjannocfe J^etos •oHnrtptuw rates by Mail: Rappahannock.$16.W/y^ Elsewhere in the U.S.$20.00/yr.

Brown was also charged with abduction and marital sexual assault, Streapy said, as well as the three original charges of rape, sodomy and abduction he faces from an incident June 30. He is being held without bond pending a hearing. Streapy said Brown’s capture resulted from a concentrated effort by the Sheriffs Office, including nighttime sweeps by Sheriff John Henry Woodward, Streapy, Animal Warden Ray Pullen and extra deputies called out for duty. The Virginia State Police and Warren County Sheriffs Office also provided manpower, a helicopter and their tracking dogs to assist in the search. Two Baltimore residents were killed July 17 when the car they were riding in ran off U.S. 211 in Amissville and overturned several times in the median strip, ejecting them from the car. Virginia State Trooper S.A. Hawkins said Yun Lee, 8, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 5:30 p.m. accident, and his grandmother, 54-year-old Cheng-Yueh Lee, died at Fairfax Hospital later than night. Hawkins said the two were backseat passengers in a 1990 Honda Acura, driven by Mrs. Lee’s son, Tayang Fu, 31, also of Baltimore. Fu, who was e'astbound on U.S. 211, failed to negotiate a curve just east of Mayhugh’s Store and the car ran off the left side of the pavement into the median strip. He said it flipped over approximately four times. Hawkins estimated the Honda was travelling between 65 and 70 miles per hour when the accident happened. Hawkins charged Fu with reckless driving, and said additional charges may be filed. The Honda was destroyed.

Pageland Homes relocates to county Bv FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock New* Staff Writer For homeowners or prospective homeowners, Steve Ellis and Peter Snyder are in the business of making anything possible. From the individual who has a unique idea about what kind of fireplace he wants in his family room to the creative soul yearning to build that “special home of his dreams,” Mr. Ellis and Mr. Snyder can accommodate and, they say, maybe even improve on the idea. Years of building experience Characterize both these men who have recently moved their buisness, Pageland Homes Corp., from New Baltimore to the Main Street of Washington, Va. i Mr. Ellis is a longtime resident of j&missville and Mr. Snyder has recently moved to Rappahannock from the Warrenton area. Originally lodged at Hunter Center in New Baltimore, an office building built and owned by Mr. Snyder, Pageland moved to Rappahannock six weeks ago. The business, which as survived a recession that has closed down more than half of their competitors in the Fauquier area, has undergone, dramatic changes. From building primarily speculative homes for several years, the two men moved into custom work when that particular market took hard hits from what many describe as a “Depression” in the building industry. Today, Mr. Ellis and Mr. Snyder have capitalized on their considerable talents and years of experience. Mr. Ellis, who designs as well as builds homes, can work with clients from the earliest conception aspect of their building plans. From custom home building and additions to remodeling, renovations and reconstructions, Pageland, say its owners, has the expertise to tackle any job. “Steve has a lot of talent in the designing area,” remarked Mr. Snyder, who mother, Annie Snyder, became a local heroine for many when she fought and won a battle to keep Battlefield Park in Manassas out of the hands of developers. For those interested in building a new home with an antique flavor, Mr. Ellis and Mr. Snyder provide an unusual service. They can produce old mantels or wainscoting or other interesting architectural appointments from the past and incorporate them into a newly built home. They keep pictures on file of orlder homes that are ready to be torn down for clients to study and subsequently select various items from the house that they might want. Mr. Snyder explained that the photos they keep are available primarily to give people an idea of the different ways to individualize their homes. “In our business, we are always running across wonderful things that could be used for this purpose,” Mr. Snyder said. “For those individuals who are looking for these particular items, we can serve as the supplier and the installer,” he continued. “Sometimes an old mantle or antique wainscoting incorporated into a room can make all the difference,” he added. Pageland also reconstructs homes, in particular log homes, and they also build homes from kits. “We pride ourselves on doing, first of all, quality work,” said Mr. Snyder. “But the thing we particularly pride ourselves on is always finishing on time, which, by far, is the most difficult thing in the building industry to accomplish.” “We have an excellent track record in that area,” he added. Mr. Ellis and Mr. Snyder have also done extensive commercial building in the past. Mr. Snyder built Hunter Center and Mr. Ellis, with his former partner, built the Kappahannock News Photo/Cindy Mahan Partners Peter Snyder, left, and Steve Ellis have opened their business on Main Street in Washington, Va. SPR building in Warrenton, one of the area’s largest and most impressive buildings. Mr. Ellis and Mr. Snyder hope to build their business primarily in the Rappahannock area. “Working close by is what we would prefer,” said Mr. Ellis, plus, by doing so we can offer the best and most competitive prices." ►Schools From Page A-l She asked Judy Tole if she had any comments. - Mrs. Tole was chairman of the committee that wrote the local Family Life Curriculum. The program sets out several areas that are supposed to be covered at each grade level. Teachers are told not to go into areas that are supposed to be covered in later grades. “I hate to say, ‘I told you so,’ but I did,” Mrs. Tole said. “We argued strenuously for lowering the grade for some of these objectives. We made it conservative to make it acceptable... Every family has the responsibility to talk with their children, to lay down the foundations for values, and to teach them to be proud of themselves. ” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative John Tole said he felt the Family Life Curriculum is “very positive. It’s not just a sex ed class. It’s how to respect oneself and others, developing the inner strength that steers people away from risk taking behavior. But these numbers are shocking.” Seventh grade teacher Arthur Neufeld said in the upper elemen tary grades “we try to stress values throughout the year, but we save the sexual matters for a number of days near the end of the school year, when the classes are separated into male and female classes. I’ve never been so uncomfortable as talking to them about things I didn’t think they knew anything about and having them ask questions I’m not allowed to answer.” He said he had a number of students who asked to write a report on abortion and had to tell them they couldn’t do it. Mrs. Massie noted that these subjects are i “very controversial... We cannot put our heads in the sand. We had a group of parents who were very upset with the Family Life Curriculum and opted not to have their children take part. We can’t educate children if they are emotionally torn up by these other situations. It’s our responsibility to let the community know there is a problem.” Piedmont District representative Frances Thornton said, “When I was the public health nurse I used to go into the home ed classes. I would ask for anonymous questions. I got quite a few to come to the family planning clinic. We didn’t think we could change the conduct. I was hoping with this, they would have wised up more.” Mr. Tole said, “Like the report Flint Hill Carnival July 29-August 1 Wednesday: Ride for one low price of $4 Odds of all ages) 6:30 p.m. Thursday: Parade 6:45 p.m., led by newly crowned Miss Virginia.

Is there any hope?” Mrs. Brown said a workshop she attended said “a student's morals and values are set by age nine. If they have self esteem and decision making skills early, it can help them resist risk-taking behavior like taking drugs, playing chicken in cars, and becoming sexually active. The young girls become involved for affection and comfort. If we teach them to love themselves, they may have the opportunity to resist this.” In other action, the School Board: • Re-elected Mrs. Massie chairman and Paul Nichols vice chairman; • Opened bids on fuel oil and fuels for the bus fleet. They also opened bids from architectural firms interested in working as consultants on the expansion plans; • Learned that the art room will be used as a second grade classroom next year and art and some music will be taught by teachers using a cart to bring the classes to the students; • Learned that about 25 percent of the students moved in or out of the school system during the school year; • Authorized the committee working on high school discipline to send recommendations on discipline policies to the entire staff for comments and action at the August meeting; Wakefield opens registration Registration is now open for the classes at the Huntly campus.

Seven people indicted in grand jury session The Rappahannock Grand Jury returned indictments in all seven of the cases it heard on July 13. Indicted were: • Adam Sartwell for a forgery offense committed Jan. 2, 1992. • George Catlett Getsinger for two counts of forgery committed around April 7, 1991. • Charles A. Brown, 27, of Sperry ville on two counts: unlawful, felonious escape by force and violence and inflicting bodily injury on a jail employee. • Jimmy Wayne Nicholson, 33, of Woodville, for cocaine possession, a felony, and marijuana possession, a misdemeanor. • Susan Eaton, 48, of Sperryville on two counts: unlawful destruction and damage of property, specifically one red and white Piper Pawnee aircraft and interference with the oper ation of said aircraft on May 21, 1992. • Doris Elaine Ferguson, 33, of Rixeyville, for unlawful, knowing and intentional possession of a controlled substance on March 1, 1992, • James Preston Walters, 29, of Flint Hill on two counts: felonious breaking and entering of the home of Ricardo David Serreno somewhere between Oct. 12 and Oct. "16, 1990 and unlawful taking, stealing and carrying away of Mr. Serreno's personal property. Also sentenced by the Judge was Bonnie Sue Baldwin who had pled guilty to charges of forged writing on April 16. Ms. Baldwin was sentenced to the Department of Corrections for four years. The sentence was suspended for four years with supervised probation. ►Acres From Page A-l Mr. Strange was proposing to develop it “as though it has road frontage,” Mr. McCarthy said. He said he was also concerned other houses could be built on other pieces of land in the area using the new road. “This is the first time we have had a situation like this, where a previously subdivided lot of 175 acres has been made developable by connecting it to a state road,” Mr. McCarthy said. “I have a problem with creating development potential that isn’t there now. It’s a precedent for doubling the density.” Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser agreed saying, “We’d be opening Pandora’s box by allowing the pipestem." He made the motion to recommend denying the special exception for the subdivision. It passed unanimously. The planners also received a report from Land and Community Associates on a plan for the general commercial area between Washington apd Sperryville. The planners decided to wait until next month to consider the proposal since chairman Allen Stokes and member John Clark Jr. were not at the meeting. Check the Classifieds for the best deals in town!

According to her figures, eight of the girls graduating this year were pregnant, approximately one third of the class. In addition, two of the juniors were pregnant, two of the sophmores and one ninth grader. Ms. Brown also reported that the results of an informal survey at the high school revealed that the average age at which teenagers become sexually active was 14 or 15. She related to the school board that in May a group of ninth grade girls approached her to express their concern about the younger girls in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, who, they said, were sexually active, but, in their minds, did not understand the risks. The community involvement team that established the guidelines for the Family Life Education program should be commended for its efforts to teach family values to our students K through 12. The endeavor to include the serious roles played by such elements as family living, community relationships and development of a positive self image are to the point of what this type of program should convey. It is obvious that it was an extremely well-thought-out curriculum on many levels. However, it is apparent that in some areas the program is not connecting to the students in an effective manner. The question is why? The program emphasizes over and over again that abstinence is the only effective method of birth control. Students are taught to say no, they are taught the ramifications and consequences of pregnancy and they are taught that it is possible to change their sexual habits. Chastity is the key word. Not until the ninth grade does the FLE introduce students to pregnancy prevention methods. Students have some access to information through their health books in the eighth grade, however, it is not addressed in the 10th grade, the 11th or the 12th, unless it concerns disease prevention. . Unfortunately disease prevention frequently falls on deaf ears of most teenagers who tend to see themselves as immortal and beyond such danger. “That could never happen to me,” they say. The program appears to be based on the premise that, if taught properly, students mil refrain from sex. In an ideal world the premise is totally and 100 percent correct, however, as Mrs. Brown’s numbers and survey reveal, it is simply not the case. In addition to abstinence, viable methods of birth control must be taught in order to address a problem that is rapidly spinning out of control. The program emphasis in the latter years of high school appears to be on having a baby, child development and how to manage a family. The consequences of the problem are addressed while the problem itself is ignored. Mrs. Brown’s suggestion that the public health nurse have access to the girls in the early grades is an excellent one. She also suggested finding or doctor or intern to have similar meetings with the boys. We agree with her in her conclusion that the Family Life curriculum sounds good in writing, but for all practical purposes, is not meeting the needs of the students in some vital areas. While we all know that teenage promiscuity can have a devastating effect on the lives of our youth, we must not be blind to the influences of our society, many of which we cannot change. We must face this and give our young adults the tools to protect themselves. Education is the answer.

MASON GARDNER Gainesville Thanks from Loan Closet To the Editor: The Rappahannock Convalescent Aid Loan Closet wishes to thank all who contributed to our organization by buying either our home-baked goods and/or a raffle ticket on the 4th of July. It is our one fundraiser of the year and the proceeds enable us to replace or buy a needed item. The community gets back what it contributes when a family in need of help calls for a hospital bed or wheelchair or other convalescent aid. We do not charge for anything we loan. Without community input we could not function. We also wish to say how grateful we are for the many times the Lions Club has responded to our requests for help with heavy items to be delivered or to work in our building. In particular, Mike Mahoney, Roger Andrews, J.R. Goolsby, Dick Markham and Bob Anderson are always ready with a helping hand. TTie Loan Closet building, which bids fair to be taken over by surrounding bush, has been kept clear for us by Capt. Mitch Hitt of the sheriffs department, who graciously responds whenever we tell him the path to the entrance needs clearing. Our thanks are long overdue to all of the above. Winners of the July 4th raffle were: Doris Gregg, $50; Pat Lawler, azaleas; Ellen Nellis, folding table; Linda Jackson, bird feeder; Alice Caylor, basket; Ed Marcy, cookie jar; Sid Gottlieb, patio ducks; Jim Bowman, desk lamp, and Mary Beth Williams, pitcher. DOT MANK Rappahannock Convalescent Aid Loan Closet The word is out To the Editor: As a 1992 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, I was very dismayed by the article entitled “Alcohol is First Drug of Choice for Rappahannock Teenagers” printed in the July 9 edition of the Rappahannock News. First of all, when this survey was presented at school, the students were told that no one would see their responses. Naturally, we thought that it would remain internal and were therefore shocked to see those percentages splashed across the paper. Because of the elementary nature of the questionnaire, the irrelevancy of the questions to students’ situations, and the fact that the students were assured that their responses would not be individually scrutinized, many students simply did not take the survey seriously. The survey was discussed among the students afterward and most students could not believe that we had been presented something that absurd to fill out. I would prefer not to pass any blame on this subject, but I am disappointed that this “confidential” information was given out. My concern is to present some facts to the public - that there was most certainly a margin of error to be con sidered in those percentages; and, that many students are upset and even outraged that this information was released and printed in the local paper. Given these facts, I hope the public would think twice before passing harsh judgment on the students in Rappahannock based on such misleading information. AMY E. KELLERT Amissville Perot likened to 'Wizard' To the Editor: I am writing in the aftermath of this week’s announcement by H. Ross Perot that he will no longer be in the running for president. At this time, neither of the miyor parties is offering real discussion of the nation’s problems or thoughtful solutions to them. As a long-time Independent, I had been pleased with many of Perot’s ideas and excited by the fact that he had attracted a large following of people who were willing to break out of the party mold, to forego the glitzy convention circuses, the hollow images, and empty phrases, to seek real solutions, where political-business-as-usual has so obviously failed. Now I feel like Dorothy, the scarecrow, and the lion must have felt in “The Wizard of Oz.” Having slain the witch, they return to the wizard, fully expecting him to return Dorothy and Toto to Kansas. Instead, a small man (with a Texas accent?) steps from behind the wizard screen. A humbug? Their hopes are temporarily dashed. Over the weekend, Perot’s interview with Larry King has given me reason to hope. His name will remain on ballots, petitions are still being signed, the campaign goes on. But where does that leave us? On the Fourth of July there was a well-staffed “Perot for President” table in Washington. Are you people still around? What about the idea of getting together at the Town Hall for a meeting to discuss issues and possibilities? In the end, Dorothy, the scarecrow, and the lion each found what they’d been seeking. With organization, good thinking, and hard - work, I believe that “We the people” can too! Meanwhile, if anyone knows where those ruby slippers are, please let me know. DIANE WOOD Washington Band invited to Luray To the Editor: As the Southern Page subcommittee of the Bluemont Page board of directors, we are unanimously recommending that the sixth Bluemont concert on Sept. 1 (the Caribbean Steel Band) to be held at the Inn Lawn Park in Luray. We are the core committee responsible for the volunteers and planning for this concert. We made this decision after much consideration of the strong advantage at present of the Inn Lawn Park as a cultural, convenient, accessible location that is both practical and easy to administer for an outdoor concert. We are comfortable that with our school and outreach programs, Bluemont does serve all of Page County well. We would like to encourage Bluemont to present programs in other Page communities throughout the year. To this end, we welcome anyone interested in bringing Bluemont programs into their community to contact anyone of us listed here.

Rjppthannock Newt Staff PtatcVCindyMahin Calvin relaxes while his picture is taken. Position is filled Alter much discussion and an intense perusal of resumes, Calvin Hobbs Luther, known to friends as “Calvin,” has officially been named “Court House Cat.” Calvin fills the position left vacant when Jurisprudence, the former Court House Cat, died unexpectedly several weeks ago after a short illness. Formerly owned by Jeanne Drevas and Carl Aplin of Sperryville, Calvin comes to the job with unusual qualifications. Of international descent, Calvin joined Ms. Drevas and Mr. Aplin in Geneva, Switzerland when he took up residence in their chalet. The location proved to be a perfect launching pad for Calvin’s diplomatic career. He was soon appointed resi dent cat at the International Refugee Commission, while keeping a busy schedule at the World Health and International Labor organizations and the World Eccumecical Center. Calvin’s career reached new heights with an appointment to the United Nations. Along the way, he was developed language skills, (he is bilingual) and honed his diplomatic skills to the highest level. Calvin is looking forward to his new job in that he has found life in the country to be somewhat unstimulating. He is available for petting, talking or napping or any bit of solace needed by town residents. He is an equal opportunity cat. ►Apple From Page A-l trees, some of which average over 1,300 trees per acre, Mellen easily qualifies as the county’s largest pro* ducer. Brothers Kevin and Mike share a strong family resemblance and an enormous enthusiasm for apple growing. They come by it naturally in that their father, Bill Melton, managed the orchard before them. According Mike, in 1987 the whole design for Mellen Plantation was revamped. The older and larger apple trees were removed to make way for the Red Chief Campbell, a dwarf apple tree that is bred to produce in copious amounts. The concept of the smaller tree, said Mike, originated in Europe where land is at a premium. The specific rootstock used by Mellen is called M26, chosen, said Kevin, because it is “extremely precocious and very early to bear.” In 1987, the Meltons planted 25.000 trees, averaging about 400 per acre. Today, they are tending 100.000 trees at about 1,300 trees per acre. “The idea is to get your trees producing as fast as possible,” said Mike. “The longer it takes to grow the tree, the longer it takes to get your firuit.” “If you are an apple grower, you are not in the business of growing apple trees,” added Mike with a laugh. The small trees, which are care-, ftilly pruned to grow to only six or seven feet tall, are planted closely together, approximately 3Vi feet firom one another. Depending on how old the tree is when put in the ground, the Meltons said that it takes about three years to have a tree that is ftilly producing. During that three-year period, the trees are pruned to “fill the space” in order to have the fullest and healthiest tree ready for bearing the fruit. “The goal is to have the nicest, most well-branched tree you can get,” said Mike. The Meltons, while continually moving into the future, have not been without dramatic setbacks along the way. In 1990, a hard freeze took out their entire crop, “a real low point for the orchard,” said Mike. But true to form, the brothers rolled up their sleeves and began again. This year, conditions have been excellent, said Mike, and they are expecting to have an excellent crop. Mellen, which produces around 50,000 bushels of apples last year, in the past has exported much of the fruit to Sweden. The reason for this, said Mike, was that an extremely hot season last year caused the fruit to be off color and the Swedish are “not particular as to the color of their apples, but more interested in the flavor.” Mellen has four full-time employees and currently has 12 employees working altogether. Migrant workers are hired for the harvest. Once the apples are harvested they are sent to Winchester and then sent to packers who sort, grade and pack into bushel boxes according to size, type and color. The actual selling is handled by a broker who finds the buyers and arranges to have the fruit shipped. Even after the harvest, there is no “downtime” for the orchard. Work commences immediately, pruning and fertilizing. “Replacing the nutrients that have been sucked out of the soil is a major endeavor," commented Mike. Mike explained that Mellen has made every effort to cut back the amounts of pesticides used to a minimum. “One of the advantages of having a dwarf orchard,” he explained, “is being able to use less pesticides. Mellen uses a presticide system entitled Tree Row Volume, which enables them to calibrate the leaf surface to the amount of pesticide used. PAR honors members Top honors were given to the recipients of the Piedmont Association of Realtors Honor Society during the general membership meeting held at the Golden Corral Restaurant in Culpeper on June 26. The PAR Honor Society acknowledges Realtors who have attained a level of excellence by their numerous hours of volunteer service, their intelligent insight and direction, and their ability to motivate others toward the association’s common goals. The recipients of the 1991 Honor Society include: Sunita Lai and Sally McDevitt of Real Estate III in Culpeper; Michael B. Miller and Tim Kearney of the Miller Company, Realtors in Culpeper; Cinthia K. Thornhill of Classic Properties of Culpeper; Robert R. Lovegren, James Lovegren and Patricia Seeverger of Century 21, Mid VA., Properties in Madison; L.G. (Butch) Zindel III of the Buyers Agency in Washington, Arden K. Stauffer of Town and Country Properties in Lake of the Woods. “Their dedication and service to the Piedmont Association of Realtors, and to their community, has been a testament to their commitment to excellence which is reflective in their professional careers as Realtors,” said PAR’s executive officer Margo Frazier. ►Move From Page A-l the local government and the majority of the people. I’m opposed to the state government running roughshod over the local government.” He said research is needed on the question of whether the state can “condemn land for private purposes.” The stadium would be going onto land owned by the state employee retirement system, but the deal that was reported said the state would condemn additional land for parking. Once , a metro stop is constructed near the facility, the additional parking would no longer be needed. The initial reports of the deal said that land would be turned over to Mr. Cooke to develop. Sen. Miller said it would be necessary to look into whether or not the agreement would be “a good deal or a bad deal for the retirement ftind.” Sen. Edgar S. Robb, R-25th,who represents Stonewall-Hawthom District, said the report in the Richmond paper that he is opposed to the deal “is not quite accurate. It came as a total and complete surprise, and since I don’t have any details of the package, it is impossible to make a decision on whether it is good or bad for the state and especially Northern Virginia.” He noted that the General Assembly had voted to form a commission to look into bringing professional baseball to the Northern Virginia area and wondered why football was not included. He said Gov. Wilder’s actions were “inappropriate and perhaps selfish to put together a deal without consultation with Alexandria officials on zoning matters.” Sen. Robb said the General Assembly would have to examine the deal to determine how “it relates to the security of the retirement system. I am most concerned that we make the best use of their investment property. Once all the questions are answered, I will be better able to take a position. “My mind is open. My eyes and ears are open, I am watching and listening,” Sen. Robb said. “I love the Redskins,” he added. “I’d love to go to a Redskins game in Virginia, as most Virginians would.” Blue Jays win over Phillies Youth baseball action continued in Rappahannock last week for the Rappahannock Athletic Association. The RAA Bluejays, whose record is 8 and 1, won 13 to 8 over the Madison Phillies. Top hitters for the game were Jesse Boner who had 2 for 4 and Daryl Scott who had 3 for 5. Starting pitcher J.T. Williams gave up two hits, walked three, struck out nine and gave way to Josh Hitt in the fifth for the save. Center fielder Jeremy Tygrett showed his stuff with impressive defensive plays and second baseman Chris Dodson, shortstop John Digges, third baseman Daniel Hitt and right fielder Lucas Hensley worked well together in another impressive show of defense strategy. ones are designed to kill only specific pests.” The aggressive plan for the future of Mellen Plantation has moved the operation to the cutting edge of technology. Sophisticated computers with programs designed to give the most up-to-date information about weather and disease conditions allow the Meltons to monitor every aspect of the day-to-day conditions of their orchard. Mellen also installed an unusual and highly sophisticated irrigation system. Water drawn from a body of water on the plantation, is sent throughout the rows of trees where it spurts at intervals in small, misting sprays designed not to compact the soil. Mellen’s techniques and success have drawn the attention of apple growers both home and abroad. Last year the Meltons were hosts to an international fruit tree association, which visited the orchard, said Mike, because “Mellen has the highest density of trees east of the Missippi.” It appears that Mellen orchard is just getting started. A winning management team with an agressive owner/manager at the helm sets the operation in place to expand even more in the future.

The smaller tree would need only 35 pounds. That is quite a reduction in chemical use.” The Meltens also use an Intergrated Pest Management program, which means they spray only when they have to. Mike explained that today pesticides today are generally safer in that they are “target specific." “Older pesticides killed everything in site,” he explained. “New Splendor InMrass.

As holding company for the eight F&M Banks in Virginia and West Virginia, F&M National Corporation is proud of its most recent accomplishment But for F&M, there is much more than assets to celebrate. This year, the brokerage firm of A. G. Edwards in St. Louis listed F&M among America’s strongest financial institutions. And U.S. Banker magazine recently ranked F&M the 33rd most profitable in the nation during the past four years. But the real measuring stick of a financial institution is what it does for its customers and the communities it serves. F&M Banks have provided money for homes, cars and college educations. We’ve maintained a safe and secure haven for our customers’ savings. And we have participated in the growth and development of every community we serve. As proud as we are of having posted a billion dollars in assets, the statement we really want to make is a heartfelt “thank you” to the many folks who trust us with their business. Member FDIC.

Moffett accepts certificate Melanie Moffett, 14, of Washington, Va. accepted a Take Pride in America Certificate of Recognition on behalf of the Rappahannock 4-H Teen Club from Elizabeth Haskell, Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources in Richmond on April 16. The club was recognized for its efforts to help solicit community involvement for recent water quality tracking project in Rappahannock and efforts to clean up the Washington business district.

Mark Jenkins has strong showing at Hershey meet FLINT HILL - Mark L. Jenkins, 14, son of Pete and Sandra Jenkins of Flint Hill, placed second in the half-mile run for the state in his age group and third in the softball throw on Saturday at the Hershey Track and Field meet for girls and boys sponsored by the Hershey Corp. and the Front Royal Parks and Recreation Department. The meet was held in Charlottesville. These wins were the culmination of a strong showing in the meet that began on May 22 in Front Royal when he won 1st place in three events, the 800 meter run, the 1,600 meter run and the boys softball throw. At that point Mark, who was competing against eight districts, qualified to go to the Western District meet in Fisherville on June 13, where he won 1st place in the same three events in his age group, boys 13 to 14 years of age. Mark Jenkins Thornhill to represent pony club in Lexington Elaine Thornhill as a member of a four-man team will represent Old Rag Mountain Pony Club at the National Festival in Lexington, Ky. Aug. 1-4. Miss Thornhill earned a perfect score at the district competition in the “Knowdown” aspect of the event. Knowdown is the competition that tests the knowledge of equestrian topics. The festival in Kentucky is held once every three years. The weeklong event combines Eastern and Western championships with clinics and workshops conducted by authorities in the respective fields. Old Rag Mountain Pony Club was started by Ingred Dewitt and Diana Corbin. Currently the club has 10 families from Rappahannock and Culpeper counties as members. Elaine Thornhill will compete in Kentucky. ►Perot From Page A-l He said he understood that there are meetings going on in Dallas exploring the idea of carrying forward with the movement, possibly fielding a candidate for Congress in two years. He said he supported the idea of finding candidates who are “serious about saving money.” Anne Palmer Johnson, who was to replace Mr. LeKander as county coordinator, said, “We were all initially devastated. We felt we were going in the right direction, now we’re trying to regroup. ” She said she supports the idea of going forward with developing a platform and having the other candidates comment on that platform. “I think we have sent a meaningful message, and I don’t think we’re going to go away, although some will jump off and join Clinton and Bush,” she added. “The same dissatisfaction is still there.” She said she expected to hear from Virginia representatives who were attending the meetings in Dallas this past weekend and then would call a local meeting to make plans. “I have accepted that he is out of the race, but the issues are still there, and they’re going to surface,” she said.

Rappahannock Newt Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Sarah Gentry, left, Hollyann Gangel and Kylene Wolfe model T-shirts designed by participants of the program. Breakthrough Summer ends with ceremony Breakthrough Summer ended Friday with an assembly in the high school auditorium. All participants received certificants and many received plaques. The students, teaching staff and student staff were all wearing their new T-shirts designed by the students at the local computer camp. Parents as invited guests were shown a slide show of their children’s computer generated art work and later had an opportunity to visit the classrooms and watch their children show what they have learned to do. In closing Helen LaCava presented a final plaque to Brion Patterson, the high school chemistry and physics teacher, who received the grant, named to honor astronaut Christa McAuliffe, that funded the Bummer program. ‘This is for the man who not only made it possible but made it work,” she said. Mr. Patterson put hours into writing the grant application and into detailed .planning for the two-week program, she said. “Two Mondays ago I told your children they were here because of a failure,” Mrs. LaCava continued. She said the government had chosen to redeem the failure through the nationwide grant program. “In Virginia your children were chosen to redeem the death of Christa McAuliffe and the six other astronauts,” she said. “For this staff who remember the tragedy, when we hear the name, we no longer think of an accident, a tragedy. We think of your children,” she said. “They have been successful beyond all imagining, and because of them, the spirit is alive and well from now on.” July 31 signup deadline Rappahannock County fanners who participated in the 1992 Wheat and Feed Grain programs are reminded that land reported as setaside (ACR and CUPY), under the Acreage Reduction Program cannot be hayed or grazed until alter Aug. 31.

Country folk performers, Robin and Linda Williams, are known for their harmony singing and powerful songwriting. For over 14 years, Robin and Linda’s numerous appearances with Garrison Keillor and “A Prairie Home Companion” and recently his new “American Radio Company” have won them critical acclaim throughout the U.S. and in many foreign countries. Their television appearances include “Grand Old Opry,” “Entertainment Tonight,” “Nashville Now” and this April an appearances on “Skyline Illustrated” on WVPT Public Television. They have been on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered” and performed at Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall. Nationally, Emmylou Harris recently released a single and video of Robin and Linda’s tribute to Hank Williams, “Rollin’ & Ramblin’’ on her Warner Brothers release, Brand New Dance. Kathy Mattea, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Tom T. Hall have also recorded songs that the Williams’ have written. The Williams have nine albums of their own to their credit, the last two being “All Broken Hearts Are The Same” and “The Rhythm of Love” on the Sugar Hill Record label. The Robin and Linda Williams band includes Jim Watson on electric bass and backup vocals and Kevin Maul on dobro and vocals. Jim was a founding member of the Red Clay Ramblers and toured internationally with that band for 14 years playing mandolin, guitar, bass and vocals. He has been performing with Robin and Linda since 1988. Kevin Maul has added his tasty licks on dobro since 1990. Kevin had joined the Williams’ whenever they toured upstate New York since 1976. For many recent summers, Kevin was found on Cape Cod playing dobro, pedal steel and vocals with the Provincetown Jugband.

'First Lady Lou' is set for stage in Madison The popular two-act, one-woman stage production that brings Lou Henry Hoover to life will be performed in Madison County on Friday, Aug. 7 and in Shenandoah National Park’s Byrd Visitor Center Auditorium at Big Meadows on Saturday, Aug. 8. Both performances will begin at 8 p.m. “First Lady Lou,” a production of Iowa’s Riverside Theatre, played to standing-room-only audiences and standing ovations at The Smithsonian Institution and The National Archives in Washington, D.C. Since it premiered in 1988, the show has been performed more than one hundred times throughout the country including two performances in Shenandoah National Park in 1990. A cooperative undertaking by the Madison County Chamber of Commerce and Shenandoah National Park brings “First Lady Lou” back to Virginia.

Tickets for “First Lady Lou” will go on sale July 1 and are available for the Madison County performance at local Madison businesses and the Madison Eagle newspaper office.

A review in The Des Moines Register called the show “a skillfully scripted production” and assured readers that “First Lady Lou” is “very much worth spending an evening to discover one of the country’s “lost’ First Ladies.!’ U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who saw “First Lady Lou” at the Smithsonian, called it “truly outstanding.” Through a remarkable portrayal by Riverside Theatre actor Jody Hovland, “First Lady Lou” brings Iowa-bom Lou Henry Hoover to life - in Act One as a young mother in 1914 and, in Act Two, in 1944 as the weary, reflective wife of an unpopular former President. The script, by Rebecca Christian of Dubuque, Iowa is based on letters, diaries and other documents included in Lou Henry Hoover’s personal papers on file at the Hoover Library-Museum.

i . + Classifieds • Obituaries After 26 years, Lilo Foster retires County resident recalls childhood in Nazi Germany By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer After 26 years working with Rappahannock students Lilo Foster has retired. For most of those years she has taught remedial reading. Without a college degree she could not be paid a teacher’s pay, but she did a teacher’s job. She started part time as a substitute. One year a teacher quit in September and she was hired to finish out the semester teaching seventh grade at the Washington Elementary School. She ended up finishing the entire year. With the new elementary school open, Mrs. Foster was hired to work as a teachers’ aid. She traveled from classroom to classroom, working with small groups of children who were behind in reading while the regular teacher worked with the rest of the class. For her last few years she had her own remedial lab. “I loved what I did. I think I will miss it terribly,” she said. She said she had her own method for teaching reading, with heavy emphasis on phonics in the beginning, using writing early as part of a “whole language” approach, and emphasis on comprehension after children have learned the basic skills. “I can teach anybody to read unless they are severely brain damaged,” she claimed. It is rarely easy. A dynamic teacher, she said she frequently has to try different things with students. Sometimes she says she wakes up in the middle of the night with an idea of a new approach to take with a student. “I believe God gave me this idea, and it works,” she said. “I would teach standing on my head, if that is what it takes,” she added. Growing up in Berlin, Germany, Mrs. Foster had no idea she would be teaching. She thought she would like to be a foreign correspondent. That required knowing several languages, and she began the study of English in fourth grade. She also learned some Spanish and some French. Her other career dream was to be a dancer. She was the youngest of four children born to a Jewish father and a non-Jewish mother. Early on her life was not bad. She attended Jewish parochial schools, where she got an excellent start. Then the Jewish schools were forced to close. For a while she attended a Quaker school with other children of mixed Jewish heritage. When the Nazi authorities found out the school was serving Jewish children, that school was also closed and the owner sent to a concentration camp. After that she was tutored privately at home. As war approached, things became worse. One of her sisters had a husband in England. He started sending telegrams urging her to get out and join him in England, Mrs. Foster said. “She left Berlin three days before Hitler moved into Poland,” she added. Mrs. Foster didn’t see her again until 1950, when she visited her sister in Toronto, Canada, where the couple moved after the war. Someone insulted her father on the street, and her brother came to his defense, Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Lilo Foster moved to Rappahannock County with her husband in 1948. Mrs. Foster related. The Nazis arrested her brother and injected him with the virus for tuberculosis and he then wasted away and died. In 1941, her father was sent off to a concentration camp. The family never learned what happened to him, said Mrs. Foster. Another sister was also married and had a fouryear-old son. In 1942 the Nazis decided to make Berlin a city free of Jews. Her mother had arranged to hide her sister and nephew with a German family in the country. It was risky for the German family, and they were well paid, Mrs. Foster ‘said. She and her brother-in-law were swept up and confined in a synogogue. He told her he would try to escape. His escape attempt was unsuccessful, and he was recaptured. When her mother reported that to her sister, her sister said she couldn’t take any more and turned herself and the baby in. Meanwhile Mrs. Foster was still caught up in the Nazi roundup. “The commandant would have us line up. I was lucky. 1 was always on the side that wasn’t chosen,’’ she said. Her mother was frantically trying to get her freed. She went to Heinrich Himmler, saying since she was “Aryan” the Nazis couldn’t take her daughter. It worked and Mrs. Foster was freed. Then she and her mother started searching for her sister and nephew. They found them and her brother-in-law as they were being loaded in a furniture van. The little boy called out to his grandmother as the doors were being shut. “She fainted,” Mrs. Foster said. “I tried to get help. One person took pity on us and took her to a doctor. She only weighed 90 pounds. It was really taking a toll on her. A friend convinced her she still had one daughter to live for. She protected me from everything.” Several more times she was swept up in the Nazi net. Each time her mother had her freed. As a teenager she was put to work in a factory making balloons that were supposed to protect Berlin. All the workers were Jews, she said, “professors, judges, teachers.” It was a long day and three days a week after work she went for dance lessons. The dancing classes weren’t open to Jews. She was required to wear a yellow Star of David identifying her as a Jew. She had snaps sewrn on the back and on her clothes. She could take the star off. When she was going to dance lessons, she took it off, hiding the snaps by carrying a bag under her arm, until she could change into her dance clothes. JT danced with the Kibbentrop kids, a Jewish girl,” she said. “It was an interesting paradox. When I went home, I put the star back on. I took a chance. You lived from day to day.” Two evenings a week and on Sundays she had a private tutor. Studying took up the rest of her time. "I rarely went to bed before mighnight,” she said. The balloon factory was bombed. She worked in a factory that took uniforms apart for recycling. That was bohibed, and she worked for a factory that sewed uniforms. When that factory was bombed, the war was coming to a close. “It was chaos,” she said. Her mother told her not to wear the star at all. The bombs were falling, and the Russians were coming. While others huddled in bomb shelters she went out into the street and watched the bombing. “They flew straight through the anti-aircraft fire. I admired them. They were my liberators,” she said. With the war over, Berlin was divided into four sections, each controlled by one of the occupying armies. She and her mother were in the Russian sector. She found a job in the American section because she could speak English. There she met and married Randolph Foster from Flint Hill in Rappahannock County stationed with the American Army in Berlin. In the middle of the night she, her mother and some friends moved from the Russian section to the American side. In 1948 she and Mr. Foster came to Rappahannock County. Her mother followed 18 months later. “I said I wouldn't marry him unless he would bring my mother out,” she said.

Miscellaneous As the faithful readers know, the last column was titled “Day By Coon.” The reason for this was two-fold. First, I was on a two week trip west and had procrastinated and not prepared a column, second Carl Cool volunteered to produce an item. Since it was about me, what else could I do but to encourage him. You who have not met Carl, should. He is a retired state department employee and former ambassador to Nepal. He has many interesting stories to tell. I hope that he volunteers again. While I was away a new editor was announced. Things like this always happen when I am away. On three occasions that I remember, I was replaced. When I was 13 years old and the proud patrol leader of the Murtaugh, Idaho troop I suffered my earliest rejection. During summer camp about 10 of us were selected to take a three-day side trip to a Mountain Lake. When we returned I was informed that my patrol had a meeting and they elected Ralph Perkins and I was out. I haven’t sought elective office since then. Anyway, about the new editor, I must admit to being edgy about new bosses. My happiest times have always been when no one was in charge. I might add that my worst jobs were when I was in charge. The first time was when I was put in charge of some pall bearers at a funeral when I was eight years old. This was also an event I have relived a thousand times as my most embarrassing moment. I will relate this event to you later if I can overcome my shame. Welcome new editor, welcome to the center of the universe, the sweetest place I know. When a Realtor has a buyer and a seller negotiating over a piece of property and after offers, counter offers, contingencies, inspections, escrows, financing, the small print and IDay | By Day : % L_ the closing; and both the buyer and seller go home believing that each got the best of the deal, the realtor will believe that she (he) has done a good job. (This is an original lawyers joke) whereas if two lawyers represent a plaintiff and defended and after much expense, phone calls, consultations, letter writing; negotiations, retainers, billings and judicial hearings; both the plaintiff and the defendent go away feeling that they have gotten the worst of the deal; the attorneys leave contented that they have done a good job. (Some of my best friends are lawyers). Now that Ross Perot has bowed out I should have some comment since I mentioned it rather enthusiastically before. My comment is that I am disappointed. Not because he is gone but that the cause is gone. I would have backed Bart Simpson in order to get the system changed. I am not convinced that the reasons Perot gave for quitting are the real reasons. Some analysts believe that it was too hot in the kitchen. It is a shame that negative campaigning seems the primary way to go. The good cause quickly became negative and he became someone to fear with obviously bad intentions, a potential tyrant buySee Day, Page B-8

Enjoy the fruits of summer season; reach for a peach By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Afsnt, Home Economies I bought my first Rappahannock County peaches last week at one of our local orchards. According to my co-worker and agricultural agent, Tommy Williams, this year’s peach crop should be bountiful and high quality due to no frost and plenty of rain this spring. Peach nutrition pointers A sweet juicy peach weighs in at only 50 calories. The majority of calories come from carbohydrates, a quick source of energy. Peaches are a source of vitamins A and C. They are high in potassium and contain very little sodium. Selecting peaches Look for peaches with fresh creamy or golden undercolor. A rosy blush is pretty, but “red” does not mean “ripe” and the varieties’ blushes differ. Avoid peaches with wrinkles, brownish spots, or traces of green on their skin. There are two types of peaches: clingstone and freestone. A clingstone peach does just what its name says - the flesh (fruit) clings to the stone (pit). Clingstone peaches are grown primarily for processing. In freestone peaches, HOME ECONOMICS the predominant fresh variety, the fruit does not cling to the pit. More than 25 peach varieties are grown in orchards throughout Rappahannock County. Some of the most popular ones are sunhighs, rio-oso-gem, lorins, marqueens, and redhavens. Peach arithmetic One pound of peaches equals two large or three medium-sized peaches or two cups peeled and sliced or 1-2/3 cups peeled and diced or 1-1/2 cups peeled and pureed. Peach pointers Peeling: If a recipe calls for peeled peaches, submerge peaches into boiling water about 20 seconds, remove from slotted spoon and plunge immediately into cold water. The skins should slip right off. Preserving color: To keep peaches bright and fresh looking, dip or sprinkle with citrus juice or commercial ascorbic acid mixture. Pureeing: Halve and pit fresh unpeeled peaches, slice into blender with dash of lemon juice and whirl. Use as a base for drinks, sauces, and other recipes. Freezing: Savor fresh peach flavor for long winter months. Freeze peeled and quartered peaches. Stir one quart fruit with 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons commercial ascorbic acid mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly. Pack peaches in plastic freezer bags. Freeze in single layer until frozen, then stack. The following recipe for Peach Trifle is in the July issue of “Southern Living.” I tried it last weekend when I got my first peaches and everyone at dinner liked it so much, they told me to include it in my column this week. The other recipes are from some local ladies in the county. Try them and enjoy are ’92 peach crop!

►Foster From Page B-l They had three sons. Pat is living with his wife and her two granddaughters in Richmond. Jeff works in Bristol, and Greg is still in Rappahannock, working in the construction business. When her children were young, she stayed in the home. “I believed a mother’s place is in the home, and I’ve never had to blame myself for anything,” she said. Her mother was living with them able to eiyoy her grandchildren and at times to forget the past. As the children grew older, Mrs. Foster began substituting in school. She didn’t tell of her wartime experiences. The memories were too painful. However, in 1981, she went to Warren County to talk to high school classes about what had happened to her family during the war. “By the end of it, I was crying, the teachers were crying, and most of the children were crying, but I felt as if a tremendous weight had been lifted from my back,” she said. She also told her story in Culpeper and in Rappahannock schools. She said Marganta Piper, who was principal at the elementary school then, encouraged her to tell the story. “She said, ‘You’re the last one. After you it will all be heresay,”’ Mrs. Foster said. “They are already saying it didn’t happen.” When she first came to Rappahannock, “it was quite a culture shock,” she said. “It all fell into place, and I’ve loved every bit of it.” "When a kid comes up to you and says, ‘ Mrs. Foster if it hadn’t been for you, I would not have gone on to school or college,’ it’s rewarding. If you can reach a few children, you have achieved something.” Mrs. Foster said she has enjoyed working with the people in the local public school system. “They are all good colleagues,” she said. She also believes the school system is making progress under Superintendent David Gangel, but she is concerned that more and more children are having problems with reading. She sees it as a national problem, caused in part by the breakdown of the family. She would like to see less reliance on standardized testing, especially in the early grades, and more freedom for classroom teachers to determine when students need the help of the remedial labs. She doesn’t plan to give up the exercise classes she has conducted for several years for older women. “My gals would miss it, and so would I,” she said. She plans to spend some time doing jobs around the house that have been neglected, such as cleaning out closets, and then perhaps she will look for part-time work. “I’ve learned not to plan on anything. I’ll just take it as it comes, I guess,” she concluded. From Page B-l ►Day ing his way with ill-gotten gains. I rather believe that if a person of perfect character, all virtue and no defects, qualified in all respects, ran for office, that person would be defeated by a campaign of propaganda that said “anyone that perfect is obviously dangerous and not to be trusted.” So we will keep doing things the way we have been doing them and we will keep getting false promises. Thank you Perot, thanks lots. Incidently, I am available if someone will mention it to Larry King. Hurry, there is not much time left.
