Government at a glance The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors meets at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 3 in the Rappahannock Courthouse. On the agenda for the 2 p.m. meeting are landfill matters: fluff and leachate disposal, update on E-911 project, rental on scales for landfill, unused balance of F Y 92 library supplemental Appropriation, Extension agent, legislative agenda, set alternate meeting date for September meeting, report on tax belief for elderly and handicapped and Eugdpe Leggett’s term on Water and Sewer Authority expired.

Residents unruffled over roan changes Hearing scheduled Aug. 3 to hash out second draft By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer With less than a week left until the public hearing on naming county roads for the soon-to-be implemented E-911 System, members of the Board of Supervisors and the Fire & Rescue Association report that to this point county residents appear relatively calm about the process that will change a number of state-maintained road names in the county. The list, which was published in the Rappahannock News last week, was prepared by the Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association and is just the first draft. The public is invited to attend the hearing to make comments for or against the proposed road names. Suggestions can also be mailed in as well. Robert Anderson of Stonewall-Haw thorne District said that the current list contains a number of errors. “For example,” said Mr. Anderson, “the road going up Red Oak Mountain appears to have the wrong name on that.” “But,” he continued, “this is just a first draft and we expected mistakes.” Mr. Anderson said that he hopes the meeting will help to iron out the problems, and that thus far he has not received any irate phone calls about the list. Hampton District’s Mike Massie, who voted against the implementation of the E911 System on the basis of its cost to residents regardless of their ability to pay and its “urbanizing of Rappahannock County,” said that no one had called to complain about the list to him. “Until we have the public hearing it will be too early to tell,” said Mr. Massie. “I think 911 is a wonderful thing,” said Mr. Massie, “and the phone company gave us 911 free,” Mr. Massie went on to say. “We didn’t need all of this expensive equipment to have the enhanced system. That is what is costing all of the money." Mr. Massie said that the case for E911 was presented by explaining that if the 911 number was called c and the caller then passed out, an emergency response would still be made. “However,” Mr. Massie queried, “what if the caller passes out after calling only 9 or 91? Would you get an emergency response then?” Mr. Massie said that he was concerned about all of the new' signs going up and “cluttering up the landscape.” “People have a responsibility to know where they live and to be able to give people directions to their house. They should also teach their children where they live and to give directions," said Mr. Massie. See E911,1»ageA-5 BZA nixes request for variance By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New« Staff Writer The county Board of Zoning Appeals turned down request for a variance from front and rear setback requirements at their meeting last Wednesday. Pamela and Barry Schiermeyer had a contract to purchase a 1.01 acre parcel in the Flint Hill area. The mostly rectangular parcel is about 147 feet wide by 288 feet long. A right-of-way serves the property along the front. The zoning ordinance requires that a residence be set back 75 feet from the front property line and 50 feet from the back line. This would allow a house on that property a little more than 22 feet wide. The Schiermeyers were requesting that this be reduced to 40 feet in front and 20 feet in back in order to build a two-story custom designed passive solar house 60 by 40 feet with a 12-foot deck and an attached 25 by 25 foot garage. The house would have been set at an angle on the lot to take advantage of the sun. BZA chairman Louis G. “Butch” Zindel noted that only four members were present, and three must vote in favor of a variance for it to be approved. One of the members present, Alex Sharp, works for the real estate firm that had arranged for the contract and decided not to vote on See BZA, Page A-3 Mitchell prison site debated Bv FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock News Stiff Writer CULPEPER - A furious debate continues over the purchase of a 608acre tract of land in Mitchells by the Virginia Department of Corrections, which will be used as the site for a 825-bed medium security prison to be completed, according to the DOC, by 1994. Since the purchase three weeks ago, DOC officials have defended the expenditure for the land against charges made by an anti-prison group, the Citizens for Responsible Correction Planning, that the state spent too much money. The purchase price was $915,000. According to a press release by the CRCP, “overpaying for the land is just the first in a series of inflated costs DOC will have to explain at the legislature next session.” Funds totally $24.8 million have been allocated by the state for the purchase of the property and con struction of the facility. The property, Blackjack Farm, owned by Tilford and Margaret Jones, is located on Route 615. DOC Chief Deputy Director John McClusky said that there were several points the anti-prison group had lost site of. The DOC will spend $1,500 per acre for the Mitchell property, a figure, he said, was based on an independent appraisal. See Prison, Page A-7 Family Life Curriculum questioned By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Representatives of the county’s service agencies agreed with high school guidance counsellor Joyce Brown that the school system should reexamine the Family Life Curriculum, but they also agreed changing the behavior that has led to an increase in teen-age pregnancy will be very difficult. Public Health nurse Marion Sharp said she also has noticed an increase in pregnancies among high school girls. In 1990 there were 12 pregnancies among Rappahannock teen-agers, but nine of these were to girls who were 18 or 19 years old, she said. During the past year, she said, she has seen many more young girls come to the Health Department for pregnancy tests. She said the girls wait while she runs the tests, and she believes most have no idea of how their lives will change if they have a baby. “It seems much more socially acceptable to have babies while they are in school than it was,” she said. “I expect them to be devastated if they find out they are pregnant, but some are happy.” Before the Family Life curriculum was adopted, Mrs. Sharp used to go into the schools to talk to physical education classes. She said the Health Department has always advised abstinence as the best method for avoiding pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, but she also discussed birth control. For the past three years, she has not been asked to visit the school. “I would be glad to help with these classes,” she said. “These kids need a reality shock. They need to know the reality of what it is like to have a baby. They need to know the nuts and bolts of birth control. A lot of these kids are so hit and miss. I think it had an impact. We got a lot of follow up calls at the Health Department. 1 don’t think kids will be more inclined to have sex because we tell them about birth control.” ■I (See Family, Page A-3 Library Board 'wish list' debated The Library Board with three new members met for the first time last Thursday and immediately became bogged down in a “wish list” of things to buy with unspent building funds. Librarian Nikki Lynch, working with board chairman William Young, had drawn up a list that ranged from new folding tables and chairs for the meeting room, to computer furniture, to book ends for books that don’t yet fill their shelves. The most discussion concerned whether to buy casters to put on bookcases in the children’s section so they could be moved to make more room for meetings. There is $9,878 left in the building fund. The board has agreed to spend $3,800 for work on the driveway and expanded parking areas. This will leave about $6,000 for other purposes. In the end the board agreed to spend $795 for a lockable case to store the gift of a 128-volume set of books on the Civil War. The board will consider additional purchases at a later meeting. Board member Lucia Kilby reported that the Rappahannock Garden Club spent over $1,000 on plantings at the library. The board agreed to appoint Judy Lewis of Flint Hill as landscape coordinator. Treasurer Helen Platt reported that the library had only spent $5,700 of the additional $10,000 the Board of Supervisors had approved for the operation of the library during the fiscal year that just ended. Mrs. Platt said that her estimates of expenses had been very accurate but more than had been expected came in from donations and book sales. Mrs. riatt also noted that there was approximately $5,600 in memorial funds that could be spent on the library. Member John McCarthy suggested that $2,000 be appropriated for purchasing books. Dr. Young said the board could also leave these funds alone and let the interest accumulate. Mary Jamieson said, “When people give things, they would like it not to just disappear into operations.” New board member Frank Warner suggested the money could be used to purchase some of the things on the “wish list.” Other members said these things should be purchased with funds from the building fund. The board decided to have Mrs. Platt determine how much of these funds was interest that had been See Library, Page A-7

Wolfe urges nation to give GOP chance By TOM ARUNDEL Timea-Democrat Special Writer U.S. Rep. Frank R. Wolf, R10th, urged the nation last weekend to give the Republican Party a chance to control Congress before holding President Rush responsible for the nation’s economic and social problems. Wolf spoke at the 10th District Republican Committee meeting and dinner on July 24 at Airlie House near Warrenton, attended by about 150 committee members and unit chairmen. “Give us a Republican president. Give us a Republican Senate," Wolf said. “And give us a Republican House, and then 1 think it’s fair for Americans to hold us accountable.” Wolf said that if Bush and the Republicans cannot bring economic change in the next four years, then a Democrat would be suited for office. “If we can’t do it in four years, then let them take it," Wolf said, blaming economic stagnation on the Democratic Congress. Following Wolfs speech, committee member and Northern Virginia developer William T. Hazel put a different spin on things. He was the only member to question Wolf about Rush’s efforts to improve the economy. “You've got to love the man (Bush), but he’s not listening to us," Hazel said. “He is sitting there deaf to the world. He’s oblivious to what’s going on today.” Hazel asked Wolf to deliver his message to Bush since few others have the ability to do so. “The banking system is in shambles," he said. Hazel, a Fauquier resident, defended the some 3,600 West Virginia coal miners who have lost their jobs in the last year. ‘The president is not delivering, so they are not listening to him. They're listening to Clinton. Don’t blame it on the Democratic Congress." On Monday, 10th District chairman James Rich, of The Plains, responded, “I think the blame should be on the Democratic Congress. I think he (Hazel) is way off base.” Rich continued, “You can’t blame the president for that: we have a worldwide recession.” Unit chairmen at Friday’s meetingrepresented Fauquier, Clarke, Fairfax, Loudoun, Page, Prince William, Rappahannock, Rockingham, Shenandoah, and Warren counties, and the cities of Manassas, Manassas Park and Winchester at the session chaired by Rich. The unit chairman from Frederick County was not present. Rich and Pat McSweeney, chairman of the state Republican Party, both spoke at the meeting, j The meeting also included the election of committee officers and reports on activities of the congressional campaign and the Bush-Quayle ’f>2 campaign. In his speech, Wolf showered the audience with some of r Rep. Frank Wolf his programs, both proposed and under way. He discussed the presidential ticket. Democrat challenger Bill Clinton and family values. He showed enthusiasm towards his program to hand out informational maps of Northern Virginia to every passenger arriving at Dulles Airport. He supported a project to set up telecommuting centers in the Winchester-Fredrick area to allow federal employees to work out of the home and described it as “very family oriented.” He also showed support for a program to set up a day-care center for , victims of Alzheimer’s disease. “If you have a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, this is a place to take your loved one for that day,” Wolf said. He discussed his desire to extend the Virginia Railway Express service to Manassas. He also backed adding more lanes to Interstate 66 and a mass transit system into the Dulles Corridor. To eliminate the high unemployment rates in Page and Warren counties. Wolf wants to create a procurement conference for merchants to sell their products to the federal government and an export conference in which merchants can buy the products and services the government has. When he moved to national issues, Wolf explained why a Democratic Congress makes Bush look incompetent. He compared 1980’s 19 percent economic “misery index” with today’s 9 percent misery index after 12 years with a Republican administration. “From 1980 to 1986, under a Republican Senate, inflation dropped and more people were refinancing than ever before,” Wolf said. His reason for the current economic state is “stagnation” in Congress. He criticized the Democrats for voting against the balanced budget amendment and the capital gains tax break, which U.S. Sen.

He stepped on the Democrats’ crime bill because, he said, it “weakens the power of the police.” In addition, Wolf said, “We, the American people, the Republican Party, Bush and Reagan, at great cost, defeated communism.” “Let Bill Archer be chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. The agent of change will be Bob Michael as Speaker of the House, not (Thomas) Foley,” Wolf said. He also criticized West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd for his chairmanship on the Senate Appropriations Committee. Wolf expressed discontent with Clinton, who he said would be satisfied with a $200 to $221 billion deficit. When discussing family values, he said that Clinton, who was on the National Commission on Children, never attended one meeting while Gov. Jay Rockefeller never missed one. He hailed the federal government’s telecommuting, job sharing, on-site child care and leave policies, none of which Clinton has in Arkansas. McSweeney, in his speech, asked members to support President Bush, regardless of some of his quirks. “I’m not going to say that Bush fits every ideal,” McSweeney said, “but on his worst day, George Bush is better than anything the Democrats offered in the primaries.” McSweeney is confident that Republicans will win the majority in the House which would help move Bush policies foward. The new members of the 10th District Republican Committee are Dr. Conrad Helsley of Shanandoah County, who will be Western Vice Chairman, and Robert Lee, of Fairfax County, who will be Eastern Vice Chairman. Paul Ziluca of Loundoun County was elected Treasurer and polly Gable, of Warrenton was elected Secretary. Manhunt fails to locate fugitive sited in park A Sperryville man is in custody in the federal detention center in Charlottesville, facing charges of cultivation and possession of marijuana. Shenandoah National Park’s chief ranger, Larry Hakel, said a search warrant was served early Monday morning on Henry Randolph Rodgers, 25, of Sperryville, at his home on Route 600 west of Sperryville. Hakel said Rodgers was charged with growing marijuana within the park. The raid also involved members of the Planning District 9 Regional Drug Task Force and deputies from Rappahannock and Culpeper counties, Hakel said, as well as other federal agents. Hakel said the investigation remains open, and additional charges may be filed. In another incident in Shenandoah National Park, Hakel said rangers believe a man who apparently walked aw’ay from a jail in Vermont has left the park’s South District and adjacent Rockingham County, where he was sighted several times last weekend. Hakel said a ranger stopped a car about 8:30 p.m. July 25 near Loft Mountain, and the driver fled on foot into the park’s backcountry. The car was later found to have been stolen July 23 in New York State. A manhunt by federal and local law enforcement agencies Saturday night and early Sunday morning failed to locate the driver, who is believed to be Rhe R. Higbee. Rockingham County Sheriff Glenn Weatherholtz said a house in the Big Run subdivision, south of Glkton near the park boundary, was burglarized early Monday afternoon. The thief took food and a 1978 Chevrolet Malibu. Although Higbee was not identified, Weatherholtz said, authorities suspect he may be responsible. He described the car as faded gray, with a half vinyl top and a dent in the left rear quarter-panel, with Virginia li cense plates AFP-395. Hakel said the identification of Higbee as the individual involved in those incidents is tentative, and that his “modus operandi is to steal cars and keep moving. There have been two or three sightings,” Hakel said, “and each time he has been headed west. Our rangers are still being observant, but all indications are that he has left the area." Higbee is described as a 34-yearold white male, five feet, nine inches tall, 160 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Weatherholtz said Higbee failed to return May 29 from an unsupervised furlough from the Chittenden Community Correctional Center in South Burlington, Vermont, where he was serving a sentence for burglary. “Apparently he did the same thing last year,” the sheriff added, “and they found him in North Dakota.” Lookouts issued in connection with the incidents stated that Higbee is wanted in connection with a string of burglaries in Upstate New York, and that it is not known whether he is armed, although handguns were taken in the burglaries and he has been known to carry firearms in the past. In other police news last week: • Charles Allen Brown, 27, of Sperryville, was ordered held without bond on numerous charges following a hearing July 23 in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Brown, who was recaptured July 19 after his escape from the Rappahannock County Jail July 12, faces charges of rape, sodomy and abduction in an incident involving a juvenile June 30. His escape resulted in additional indictments of felony escape by force and injury to a jail employee, which were returned by a Circuit Court grand jury the day after his escape. Maj.

Ochs Foods boxes in delivery market By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock New. Staff Writer The fact that Ochs rhymes with box creating an interesting and clever marketing tool is not the only interesting and clever aspect to one of Flint Hill’s newest businesses. Ochs Food, located in the back of the Flint Hill General Store, opened just two months ago and was conceived of by owners Nicholas Ochs Raymond and long-time county resident Diane Waldron. With essentially the lunch crowd in mind, although they do catering as well, Mr. Raymond and Ms. Waldron, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 12:30, are serving up some pretty delicious fare. On top of that and most importantly, with just a calledin order, they will deliver it to your door at no charge if you are in the Washington or Flint Hill areas. Their menu is appetizing, creative and healthy. For counters of calories, cholesteral and fat intake, Ochs’s lunches could be the answer to your prayers. The Ochs Box is offered five days a week and includes a complete lunch - main entree, beverage and dessert for $5, delivered. Inside the box comes a myriad of goodies such as chicken salad in a lightly curried mayonaise, served with fresh pineapple and melon, shrimp in aspic, served with a snow pea lettuce salad, Ceasar pasta salad, prepared with cheese tortellini and shells, black olives and parmesan and cherry sherry mold (Ochs likes to rhyme things), served with cottage cheese and fruits in season. Mr. Raymond and Ms. Waldron also serve an assortment of salads for $3.50 each and various types of small sandwiches served with potato chips and hard boiled egg. The sandwich selection is actually a sandwich and a half and is also delivered. Mr. Ochs and Ms. Waldron have put together several aspects in their new businesses that consumers are looking for today. They are serving food that is tasty, low in fat and calories and gourmet in style at an inexpensive price and it is brought right to your door. “We will shift the menu frequently,” said Mr. Ochs. “This week we are offering a delicious tuna mousse with salad, but that will change next week.” “We create everything ourselves,” said Mr. Ochs. “We take a lot of time and put in much effort to make the food as good as possible.” Ochs Food also offers its salads and sandwiches at $3.50 each to customers through Mountainside Market in Washington, Flint Hill Store and Better Thymes health food store in Front Royal. “Many people can’t leave their shops or businesses during the day,” said Mr. Ochs, who zips around the county delivering Ochs Boxes in his small truck, “so it is a real service to them when we can bring them their lunch.” In addition to not charging for delivery, Ochs does not want to be tipped. Is there such a thing in the real world? But apparently there is and to top it off, Ochs Foods does not charge the tax, opting to pay it itself. For the lunch bunch on a budget, Mr. Ochs will deliver just the salad or main part of the meal without the drink and dessert for only $3.50. Claiming the Domino’s Pizza delivery idea as the basis for the concept, Mr. Raymond took the idea and enlarged on it. “We took the delivery system except we added a gourmet salad lunch. We soon found out we could have a market in the stores as well,” he said. With a knife, fork, cup and napkin already included, the Ochs Box is ready for travel, picnics, offices or just in front of your favorite show on television. Mr. Ochs moved to Rappahannock seven years ago and lives in Flint Hill. He has been involved with food for much of his life, either cooking it or serving the hungry as he did throughout his career as a liaison officer for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization based in Rome, Italy. Although retired, Mr. Raymond still does some Rappahannock News Staff Photo Dianne Waldron and Nickolas Ochs Raymond deliver the Ochs Box to Washington and Flint Hill. consulting for the organization. Mr. Ochs has been cooking as a hobby for many years. His travels all over the world introduced him to foods of many different countries and enlarged his recipe file extensively. “Wherever I have lived,” said Mr. Ochs, “I have been interested in the food.* Ochs Foods plans on serving hot foods when the weather turns cold. “These meals are great also for dinner. You can buy them at the stores and then take them home to serve later,” he said. ►BZA From Page A-1 the issue. Elsie Dodson, , who owns adjoining property spoke in opposition to the variance. She said there are already four houses in the area. “I don’t think we need another house there,” she said. “It does not appear to be a hardship thing. I feel strongly that every time we give a variance, we are weakening the zoning ordinance.” Mr. Zindel noted that the lot, while a non-conforming lot, is considered a building lot. “If we say there shouldn’t be a house built on the lot because it is too small, that’s almost confiscation of the property.” Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Sid Gottlieb noted that it would be possible to put a house that was no wider than 22 feet Gloria Ferguson hired CULPEPER — Rappahannock Legal Services has hired Gloria M.

Jennifer Matthews, who represents Wakefield District, noted that the Schiermeyers were asking for a total of 65 feet of variance. “I have a lot of uneasy feelings about this,” she said. Mr. Schiermeyer suggested they could detach the garage and reorient the house slightly, reducing the variance requested to a total of 38 feet to be split between the front and rear setbacks. Mr. Gottlieb noted that this wras better than a 65 foot variance, but “still not down to a few feet.” When Mr. Zindel asked the mem bers if they could make the findings necessary to grant the variance, Mr. Gottlieb said he could not. Mr. Zindel agreed. Mr. Gottlieb made a motion to deny the variance on the basis that “there is no hardship even approaching confiscation. ” Earlier the members learned that Carol Frances has not put up the fence along the back of the property near Castleton that she had approved for a bed and breakfast. The fence was a condition of the special use permit. Mr. McCarthy said the matter would be scheduled for the August meeting, and the special use permit would be withdrawn unless Ms. Frances had complied by then.

A lot of times the girls don’t end up marrying the father of the baby, and they think that’s going to happen. It’s not only the girls who are getting stuck. Some of these boys might be stuck for 18 years supporting a child.” Mrs. Sharp said that the Health Department provides a free confidential family planning clinic. Those who come in can receive condoms, diaphrams and foam or birth control pills. They will also receive instructions on using the birth control methods including such things as how to store condoms, Mrs. Sharp said. She noted that the Norplant device which protects against pregnancy for five years, is not available from the Health Department but can be had privately. She added that it, like all other methods except condoms, does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Mrs. Sharp said clymidia is on the increase in Virginia and in the county, and while she has not seen cases of AIDS among school-aged children, she has seen cases of AIDS symptoms among people in their 20’s who must have contracted the HIV virus while they were in their teens. “Alcohol use and sex go hand in hand, and HIV is more and more in the heterosexual population.” she added. Social Services Director Beverly Bowen said her office has not experienced any increased caseload because of teen-age pregnancy, but she has seen an increase in requests for child protective services. These are cases where child abuse or neglect is suspected. She said often when she investigates, she finds that teen-age promiscuity is a factor. She also has statistics supporting the idea that babies born to teen-age mothers are more likely than others to end up on the welfare rolls. In Virginia as a whole, half the money paid out in Aid to Families with Dependent Children goes to mothers who had their first child as unmarried teenagers, she said. Sixty-four percent of the children who receive such aid were born out of wedlock, she added. In spite of that, she said she has had young girls tell her they want to have a baby. She feels these often are girls who feel unloved and unappreciated. She said she did not know of any case in Rappahannock where a minor boy had been made to pay child support, but she agreed with Mrs. Sharp that “the state frowns on babies who are unsupported. A minor girl can ask for assistance for her baby, and we would pursue support. “The majority of kids are sexually active and active at an earlier age,” she said. “Parents don’t realize their kids are growing up in an entirely different world. The media influences are very different.” She noted, “It is the nature of teenagers to think they are immune. I’m concerned that education can’t cut through that.” Mrs. Bowen said she agrees that students need information at an earlier age. “I think it is good Joyce Brown brought this out, to help people face the situation head on instead of hoping it will go away. I worry about these kids; I really do,” she said. Linda Mock and Bob Treanor work with Family Guidance Services and also work in the schools. They conduct single sex discussion groups that deal with handling stressi with students in both the high school and elementary' school. They are expected not to deal with sexual issues that are covered in the Family Life Curriculum. Funding for their program in the schools comes from grants for preventing substance abuse. “You can’t talk with adolescents for 30 seconds w ithout sex coming up,” Mrs. Mock said. “How to field that is a challenge to us.” She said they try to stress decision making and problem solving skills that can be applied to a variety of situations. “With as many kids as appear to be sexually active, it is difficult,” she said. “I hear things that are just like when 1 was growing up. Girls feel if they plan and take precautions, that makes it wrong, but it is OK if they just get carried away.” Mr. Treanor added, “Socially there are not the prohibitions against sex there used to be, so wre are having a lot more kids experimenting with sex. Within the school system, with a number of kids it’s OK to have sex and they’re expected to have sex. A lot get involved sexualy who emotionally don’t have the skills to deal with it. The younger you start, the more damage it does, and the more chances to become pregnant. Contraception is just one of the problems. There is the sense of selfworth, relationships with the opposite sex from then on, how to dress and how to comport themselves.” Mr. Treanor said many fathers who have hugged their daughters See Family, Page A-7 Flint Hill Carnival July 29-August 1 Wednesday: Kiac ior one low price oi !>4 (Kids ol all ages) v 7:00-10:00 p.m. ^ Thursday: Parade 6:45 p.m., led by newly crowned Miss Virginia.

ThP Audit Bureau THURSDAY, JULY 30,1992 Excellent effort Congratulations to all of our winners at the 37th anhual Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock Farm Show held this past weekend at the Culpeper agriculture grounds. According to Helen Smith, home economist for the Farm Extension, while participation was down a bit in the adult category, participation was up this year with a total of258 youth exhibits. The Rappahannock young people and adults who entered the show this year did an excellent job. It was obvious that a lot of hard work and preparation went into the show, from the livestock categories to the good food /crafts, agriculture and art work exhibits and it paid off in terms of high marks and numerous ribbons. This week five of our students chosen to participate in Summer Quest, the Governor’s summer program for the gifted and talented, spent several days in the Shenandoah Mountains learning about the land that is part of their county and the reasons to value it. It seems that often teenagers take a bad rap about what ' they are doing with their lives these days and you will hear adults bemoan the fact that ‘things just aren’t the way they - * used to be’ when they were young. • * However, as we all know the bad news generally takes priority over the good and sometimes the remarkable things our teenagers are doing are overlooked. The hours of effort expended for months before the show by each youngster who entered his steer, lamb or pig is testimony to each individual’s level of responsibility and j„ j:_i!_a.~ 4.1_:_4. UCV41VOUU11 tu uic pi WJUVV. From the smallest (ages 5-8) age group to the oldest, ' from pipe cleaner creations to flower arrangements and : mouth watering chocolate chip cookies, the array of Rappahannock exhibits illustrated a tremendous amount of creativity and hard work. Both young and old, large and small and every animal ever created appeared to be at the farm show this weekend and having a great time. Beloved, and sometimes slightly peculiar looking, pets were entered in the pet show by their devoted owners, who dressed them in hats, scarves and hula . skirts. The pets bore up under the indignities and behaved * with aplomb for the most part. (One older gentleman said his wife wanted to enter him in the pet show, but he had put his foot down.) Small children gaped in fascination as a sheep was shorn in front of their very eyes. Once they were convinced no one was getting hurt in this strange process, they jumped into the shorn wool lying on the ground and rolled around - well, like * children. All in all, fun was indeed had by all. Worst buy at the farm show - a wooden kleenex holder in the shape of a cow for a mere $75. Best buy — a big, wonderful chocolate brownie baked to satisfy all those bad cravings for 60 cents. Many thanks to Tommy Williams and Helen Smith for all the hard work that went into the show. It was an excellent effort. According to the Courthouse Cat ‘During my first weekend on the job, and a messy one it was, raining like dogs and you-know-whats, I noticed the American flag out in front of the Courthouse was left up all weekend. What a sad sight it was to see that dripping, wet flag, looking so pathetic on a dreary Sunday evening. Anyway, not that I’m a super patriot or anything, but it did get me to wondering about flag protocol and all that. I’ll look into it and let you know next week.’ — Calvin r Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Recent heavy rains have aided the growth of mushrooms, such as the nearly complete ‘fairy ring’ of Amanitas sited on a Washington lawn. Fairy rings have attracted the attention of man from earliest times. Gnomes and hobgoblins supposedly buried their treasure in the rings, which in reality is a grass disease. Student notes sex issues To the Editor: I am very upset about the article “High school pregnancy stats alarm School Board” in the July 23 paper. I was part of the 9th grade during the 1991-92 school year. I was very upset that it was stated the number of sexually active and pregnant girls in each grade and the suspicion of more in the 9th grade. I feel that this is a very personal decision in one’s life. It is nothing to be thrown about on the front page of the newspaper. I feel that the “statistics” in that article could and do make people uncomfortable with their decision to have or not have sex. The concerns should not be who or how many people are having sex, but how to assist them and how to teach and warn them about the consequences and diseases that are a part of that decision. Also, to help them deal with the pressure of sex and school. KELLY LAWLER Flint Hill Group seeks solutions To the Editor: If everyone in Rappahannock County is not in pain after reading the article in the July 23 Rappahannock News (High School Pregnancy Stats Alarm School Board) than we have become numb. Perhaps we assume that this problem as well as drug and alcohol abuse are problems only in other places. Yes, it has been pointed out before that we had a problem, but never in such stark terms. These problems are what led me to join with the CCWHY (Community Coalition Working For Healthy Youth), not to talk about what should be done, but to be used in any way necessary. Why should I care? Our son is a grown man and surely there must be other ways to spend my tim'e than messing about in other people’s lives. It frightens me to know that our children are in danger of losing their lives, in more than one way, by indulging in such risk-taking. Something must be missing from their Uvea. It is wrong to assume that once a program is in place, the problem is solved. It is wrong to assume that another program will ensure success. We are the way to success. It seems to me that all of us need to take responsibility for our young people. Yes, I know that kids have MawiiiiililiaiiiiMiUiiaiiiiiiillkjkaMMIIHMiiliMBiiSSiMKIiiiMiiMlMiiuHiiliii parents, but in many families both parents work and not necessarily in this county. Some are single parent families. Nor are the schools able to pick up the load. We are a community and community effort is what is needed. This is why I believe that CCWHY is not and will not be just another program. However, you must call Judy Tole, 937-6850 or Anne Kerr, 937-5483. You must ask them what you can do and then do it. A mentor program, dances, coffee house, theatre group and cookouts are just a few of the ideas. Who will do the calling, the list keeping, hire the band, set up the food or chaperone? We will! Lastly, to our children. We are not trying to pry into your lives. Statistics are cold, bleak facts that are incapable of telling us about the persons who are the statistics. However without these statistics we will never know there is a problem. The statistics make this person feel like we have let you down. Were we not listening when you had something to tell us? Have we made you feel unimportant? Does it seem that there is no room in our lives for you? Do you know that there are many adults who care very much for you and want you to have a glorious life? How can I help. MARILOUISE K. BANE Sperryville Raise level of discussion on education To the Editor: The way public issues are framed, how they are defined, is politically important because framing issues determines how they are discussed. Recently, discussion of education has focused on competition: American schools need to compete with one another in order to become better. Public schools should compete with private schools. Teachers need to compete to earn salary merit increases. The purpose of education is the growth and development of individuals. If a community is to nurture its members, many people need to work together for the common good. Education is not something we do to our children in order to make American businesses successful, but much that is said about it today would lead one to think that it is. In fact, when one reads almost daily such headlines as MGE Pleads Guilty to Fraud in Engine Sales in 1 Israel,” it looks as if what American business needs is not better educated employees but rather honest mammm ones. Just as children with handicaps need special attention, the average child needs just as much education as the gifted child. Probably every child should be thought of as a gifted child - gifted with a good disposition, a fine character, athletic or artistic talent, the ability to work well with others, to notice things others don’t see - there are hundreds of gifts to be looked for and appreciated. The people who live successful lives, make important contributions to society and supply the glue that holds things together don’t have the same educational experiences, but they all need help from many directions. That is why education is about cooperation, not competition. I can assure you that those who emphasize education to make money, and education to achieve high test scores are not the people who care about the development of an educated citizenry. Look for those who are concerned for individuals in all aspects of their lives when you listen to talk about education. Look within yourself to assess what are the most significant educational experiences that you have had. Help to raise the level of discussion about education and if you really want to know what happens in our schools, visit them so that you will have specific information on which to form opinions. DIANA BIRD Washington Vote no on bonds To the Editor: How do you spell “bonds?” T-AX-E-S! We’re being asked to vote in November for $613 million in additional state debt through bond issues. Adding the $400 million in interest required on these bonds gives a total of over $1 billion more in taxes that will have to be extracted firom Virginians. Oh sure, our politicians tell us that these bonds and interest can be paid from existing taxes and there will be no increase. If you believe this, you believe in the tooth fairy! Many Virginians are losing their jobs, losing their homes, or declaring bankruptcy. Now is the time to lower taxes, reduce government regulation, and lower government spending. State bureaucrats must tighten their belts like the rest of us. Vote no on all State bond questions and vote yes on lower taxes.

Summer Quest kids tour 'Mountains' to learn the land By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer While some area children have been participating in the Farm Show, others have been participating in Summer Quest, the regional Governor’s summer program for gifted and talented students. About 30 of these have been involved in a two-week program called “The Mountains.” In its fifth year, the program was started by high school English teacher Jon Heddleston. Five Rappahannock students have been involved this summer. They have been joined by students from Culpeper, Madison and Fauquier counties. Last week the students toured the county landfill, searched for Native American artifacts near Old Rag Mountain, and learned some of the history of the Shenandoah Park from Darwin and Eileen Lambert, who have a cabin in Page County . bordering the park. Mr. Lambert was the first employee in the park, and he has written several books about the park. On the .search for Indian artifacts, the students were not very successful; their search was interrupted when they found a rattles' nake on the path. The snake did not strike, but it didn’t move either, and then the rain did strike. On Monday they hiked the '■ Stoney Man Mountain trail in the - park and picnicked on rocks at the end of the trail overlooking the Shenandoah Valley. Sheldon Winpfen, a retired mining engineer and geologist led the hike, starting by explaining that all the rock on Stoney Man is igneous, formed from lava flows that formed 150 to 200 million years ago under about a mile of rock that has since eroded away. The area was the site of a lot of volcanic activity at that time and it was crossed by fault lines, Mr. Winpfen said. As the students hiked the trail, they also learned about the history of the area. They saw fir and spruce trees. Only a few remain although these were once the promary trees in the forest. They learned that about 10,000 years ago the evergreen trees began to be replaced by chestnut and oak trees, and that the chestnut blight left oaks as the primary tree species in the area. Mr. Winpfen pointed out that 10,000 years ago was the end of the last ice age. The students, who were joined on the hike by another group of Summer Quest students that has been speculating about and planning for the future, were challenged as they went along to decide what were the treasures that caused people over the years to value the land they were passing through and eventually decide to set it apart in a national park. Mr. Winpfen shared some chili he had made Saturday for a cook off with the students and teachers, and then rain struck again. The students hurried back to the waiting school bus and temporarily set up in a room in Skyland Lodge to continue their discussion of the treasures of the mountain. One group decided that the chestnut trees, which had once provided a livelihood for many people in the area and now provide a haven for a variety of plant and animal life was the chief treasure of the area. Another group selected copper. They had seen pits along the trail where copper was once mined, but never very profitably. A third group said the treasure of the area was its value in attracting tourists, and a fourth group selected the beauty of the area as its treasure. Mr. Heddleston said that the students are writing in their journals each day and will produce collages of Language camp planned H u IN 11.11 — l ne language Connection at Wakefield Country Day School is planning two-hour daily classes for children, teenagers, and adults at both beginner and intermediate levels during the week of Aug. 17-2S at the Huntly school campus located 10 miles south of Front Royal and two miles north of Flint Hill. The price is $125 per person per session. Classes, according to a Language Connection spokeman, will stress conversational fluency, not the grammar and writing often emphasized in a school classroom. Working with a basic course outline, each teacher, per three to seven students, will tailor the classes to the individual group. Age-appropriate vidoes, songs, and written materials are included in the curriculum. The Winchester-based Language Connection, in operation since 1988, also offers foreign language and English as a Second Language classes. photographs and art work. He said the program has evolved over the years. When it was first started a major emphasis was on the polities of land use issues in the Piedmont region. Over the years the emphasis has shifted to issues of the environment and learning about the people who have lived in the area, starting with the Native Americans and including the people who were moved out to make room for the park as well as the students themselves and tourists who come now. He said the emphasis has also shifted to more hands-on activities for the students, pushing them to make their own discoveries and form their own opinions. Summer Quest will end Friday in Culpeper when the Mountains group will share its experiences with other groups and enjoy performances by a group which has been working on theater and music.

Once we have it, I’m going to support it.” Paul Polling, vice president of the Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association, said that the six county fire departments and the county rescue squad were responsible for coming up with the names for their areas. “They tried to keep the names with the names that people knew them as,” Mr. Polling said. “Anyone who knows of a road that hasn’t been named or has a complaint should come to the meeting on Aug. 3,” said Mr. Polling. “To my knowledge, we haven’t had any feedback on the list so far,” he added. Naming the roads and subsequently adding new signs to the roads is part of the process of implementing the E-911 System, which requires a grid-based numbering system for the structures and parcels in the county in order to convey required information to the dispatcher. Once the roads are named, county residents will be asked to submit a card with information about their home or place of business — owners, numbers of residents, description of the structure and any other pertinent information. This information will be centered in the E911 map display system as an auto mated system. With the system in place, within three seconds of a call coming in, the dispatcher will be able to look at his screen and see exactly where the house is on the map along with all of the information about the residents of the location from which the call was made. According to County Administrator John McCarthy, the fully implemented E911 System is “idiot proof." “Even if the person making the call is unable to speak a word,” explained Mr. McCarthy, “information about location and name of the person who owns the telephone from which the call is being made will come up on the screen and that person will get an emergency response.” Mr. McCarthy explained that the basic 911 service would have presented problems for the county because there are many phone exchanges that do not originate in the county. “When these people call, say from a 937 or 635 exchange, their calls are switched to Culpeper and not to Rappahannock. The dispatcher must then ask what county the call is coming from and then send the call to the proper dispatcher," said Mr. McCarthy. “A lot of time is lost in this process,” he added. “I realize that some people have reservations about the cost -of the E911 System, (estimated to be around $200,000), said Mr. McCarthy. “However, the cost will be defrayed by the fact that the system contains storage capacity for other levels of information such as building and tax maps. The system can be used for other purposes.” Mr. McCarthy went on to explain, however, that the information on their homes and businesses submitted by residents will be secure. “No one can just go in and look at this stuff,” he said. The system, said Mr. McCarthy, if things run smoothly, will be in place by August of next year. Because of the $2 surcharge imposed on residents early on, he explained, all but $25,000 of the costs will be paid by that time, he said. The issue of payment for the street signs is still undecided. McCarthy explained that the contract with Autometric Inc., the Alexandria company that conceived of system and will subsequently implement it, calls for a six-month period where payment is delayed until revenues equal what is owed. “There is also some feeling that we should implement the system without the street signs and see if it would work,” said Mr. McCarthy. “There is no law that you have to have street signs.” Mr. McCarthy explained that the choice to implement the more expensive E911 RASTER-based System as opposed to a less expensive system using ARC data was based on the fact that the RASTER-based system would be more efficient and have much more storage capacity for other types of information that would be useful to the county. “We think the people are getting much better for more money than less money would have brought them,” said Mr. McCarthy. “I think the costs of doing the system right in the first place is less than the costs of getting the system up and having to pay to upgrade it inevitably in the long run.” Xerox builds RICHMOND — Xerox Corp. will build a $17 million training facility in Loudoun County, according to the State Department of Economic Development this week.

! Prison site • Culpeper County Blackjack Farm Route 615 608 Acres, 825 Beds Medium security Property: $915,000 ►Prison From Page A-l “The property adjoining Blackjack Farm sold on Jan. 6, 1992 for $1,324 an acre,” said Mr. McClusky. Mr. McClusky said the the CRCP was using the assessed value of the property as the means to Fpake its charges. The most recent assessment, completed in 1988, ^howed the value of the land with improvements, at $528,800. This figure reflects a Board of Equalization adjustment lowering the total value by $44,600 from the original assessment of $573,400. “I offered the owner (Tilford Jones) $1,050 an acre the first offer,” he said. “He later wrote a 2Vi page letter to me telling me that I didn’t know anything about farmland and I better go hire an agronomist.” According to Mr. McClusky, Mr. Jones told him that his land was a lot more valuable than the land next door, which, added Mr. McCLusky, it was. “Blackjack had more clear acreage, higher elevation, less blackjack soil and a number of other things,” he went on to explain. “Besides,” added Mr. McClusky, “our offer was substantiated by an official independent appraisal that said what we were offering was well within the range of what the property was worth. “I am convinced that the people in that group (CRCP) will say anything, whether its the truth or not, to stop this project, Mr. McClusky added. Mitchells residents, outraged on several counts by the proposed prison, have filed suit against the DOC in an effort to stop the project in its tracks. According to‘Charlottesville attorney, D. French Slaughter III, who represents the CRCP, the local citizens’ objections are based on three different grounds. First the group claims, said Slaughter, that the project has not been properly apEroved by state officials and that the >OC has failed to complete the necessary environmental studies requested prior to the aquisition of the property. The group is also claiming that the plan is in direct conflict with Culpeper County’s Comprehensive Plan. “The department, in selecting the prison site, failed to consider the prison’s impact on Culpeper County in terms of increased burdens on Culpeper public services, the county’s future development patterns and its local economy,” said Slaughter. The lawsuit points out that the ►Family Prom Page A-3 and perhaps play wrestled with them stop as their daughters begin to mature. He suggested they often aren’t comfortable talking to their daughters about this and “just push off. The girl still wants this affection, and she turns to a boyfriend for it, and it gets transferred to sexual activity." Mrs. Mock said, "We talk to girls in groups about putting themselves into dangerous situations. We talk about how to avoid getting into situations where they could be beat up or hurt. We tell them it’s not in their best interests if they are drinking or taking drugs.” They say they want to continue working with the groups in the schools. They say the students feel the groups are a “safe place” where the things they say will remain confidential and where they can relate to adults and their peers. ►Library From Page A-l earned on the original gifts. Edward Barton, president of the Friends of the Rappahannock Library, said that there was a conflict between the board and the Friends on accounting for gifts made under the Neigborhood Assistance Act. This act allows businesses to make gifts to the library and take a state tax credit of 50 percent of the gift. — By SHARON KILPATRICK j lappahannock News Graphic/John Bretschneider prison, because of the pressure it would put on the Mitchells area, a predominantly agricultural area of the county, is completely in conflict with the county’s Comprehensive Plan. The final count in the lawsuit alleges that the prison will result in a “taking" of neighboring groundwater supplies. The suit goes on to say that the prison will utilize huge amounts of local wellwater to supply water to prison inmates and for sewage treatment which ultimately may cause neighboring wells to go dry. The suit also raises questions about the prison’s sewage disposal. Prison opponents have charged that the DOC is currently proposing to dump treated sewage effluent from the prison into a small stream which runs dry in the summer and floods in the spring. The lawsuit alleges that this will adversely affect the land and livestock of local farms that also use the affected stream, with local cattle drinking from a stream that at times will contain only the prison’s sewage effluent. According to Slaughter, Circuit Court Judge Lloyd C. Sullenberger denied a motion for temporary injunction sought by the citizens requesting an immediate halt to all DOC activities relating to purchase of the farm property pending a trial on the suit. However, Slaughter continued, the judge did agree to their request for an expedited discovery schedule in order to conclude the matter before the DOC’s projected groundbreaking and start of construction, currently scheduled for the sprirtg of 199d. Trial is now scheduled for three days, beginning Dec. 14, in Culpeper County Circuit Court. Mr. McClusky said that the DOC has done all of the prerequisite environmental tests, including putting in “monitoring wells” that check the level of ground water. “We have done extensive water studies,” said Mr. McClusky, “and have found no problems thus far.” “You can anticipate these types of problems in any type of location when a prison facility is being proposed,” added Mr. McClusky. "We will continue to move forward with our plans.” Mitchells resident and CRCP member Robert S. Somerville, one of the litigants against the DOC plan, said that he is concerned that the proposed prison will pump a great deal of water from Mitchell’s groundwater system. “It may not show up at first,” said Mr. Summerville, “but eventually, down the road, the system could be badly depleted." Mr. Sommerville, who owns a 400-acre spread within 1,000 feet of the proposed prison site, also expressed concern that eventually his property would come under “Eminent Domain” and be condemned by the state. “Our group does not want that type of facility in our community,” said Mr. Sommerville.

John Warner has praised a bill passed late Thursday by the U.S. Senate to allow governors a stronger hand in regulating the flow' of imported trash into states, including Virginia. Virginia is one of four states nationwide that received more than 1 million tons of out-of-state municipal waste last year, angering some communities where landfills are located. The other states are Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Cities in New York and New Jersey are the nation’s leading exporters of trash, much of which finds its way to Virginia landfills. Under the bill, approved by the Senate 89-2, governors would be allowed to cap the flow' of imported trash at 1991 or 1992 levels, whichever is less. Hut local government approval also w ndd be required, and existing landfill contracts could not lie broken before 1990. In Virginia and the other three top importing states, however, governors could act to limit trash imports without local consent at landfills where there are no local agreements for dumping. The bill provides further limits effective in 1998. A year later, in 195*9, governors would be empowered to override contracts between private landfills and private trash haulers in certain cases, depending on the volume of imported waste. Warner strongly supported the bill, the Interstate Transportation of Municipal Waste Act of 1!M2 (S.2877), in a statement delivered on the Senate floor on July 20. “Since this issue first came before the Senate in 195M), I have introduced three pieces of legislation to address this matter,” Warner said. “This issue has affected the citizens of Virginia in both positive and negative ways." Warner noted that some localities have negotiated waste disposal agreements with financial advantages for the community. In others, particularly Selma, Va., in Alleghany County, “citizens waged a 20-month battle while 0f> tractor trailer loads of trash per day carried tons of waste over rural roads to a privately owned landfill," Warner said. “This landfill accepted out-ofstate waste despite the wishes of the local government and citizens and caused serious damage to the water quality of the Jackson River." The bill passed Thursday by tin* Senate, Warner said, “is the best effort to recognize the many legitimate viewpoints” of exporting states, importing states and the private sector. A similar bill is (lending in the U.S. House of Representatives. Don’t go into the city for your printing! MOTOR CO., INC. 707 Commerce Avenue Front Royal, Va. 635-4158 Va. Dir.

Mowing height selection has profound plant effect By TOMMY WILLIAMS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Mowing has a profound effect on the individual plant as well as the ecology of the turfgrass community. It is generally a stress creating management practice and the total amount of stress that the practice creates on the turf is determined by the homeowner’s ability to make proper decisions about mowing height, frequency, time and patterns of mowing, type of mower and handling of clippings. Selection of mowing height is perhaps the most important decision in mowing. Each species of turfgrass has a range of mowing heights under which it can exist over a broad range of climatic conditions with minimum stress. For example, a 1 1/2 inch to 2 1/2 inch mowing height is generally accepted as a moderately low stress creating mowing height for Kentucky bluegrass. Lower mowing heights have been noted to: decrease the Leaf Area Index (unit of leaf area/unit of ground area), the amount of chlorophyll per plant, the weight of the individual grass plant, root and rhizome growth and synthesis, and storage of carbohydrates. Lowered mowing heights have also been noted to increase shoot density and plant succulence, weed invasion and predisposition to disease. Therefore, it is generally accepted that choosing lower mowing heights leads to increased levels of stress. Research on weekly-mowed, greenhouse-grown Merion Kentucky bluegrass maintained at one and two inch mowing heights showed the slower mowing height produced five percent less clippings, 14 percent less roots, 22 percent less crown tissue* and 11 percent less rhizome tissue. Other field studies also indicate lower mowing heights reduce root quantity. A four year study in Nebraska on 21 Kentucky bluegrass cultivars maintained at one and two inch mowing heights showed that the one inch mowing height produced 51 percent thatch than the two inch mowing height. Mowing frequency can have an extreme effect upon root growth especially when more than 50 percent of the existing foliage is removed. Studies on previously uncut (>4 day old Kentucky bluegrass plants indicate that removal of 00 percent or more of the existing green tissue can load to a cessation of root growth within 2S days. The more severe the defoliat ion, the faster the cessation of root growth. In these studies there was no root growth stoppage associated with green tissue defoliation levels of 40 percent or less even when clipped three times per week. Juska and Hanson examined greenhouse growth Merion Kentucky bluegrass at one inch and two inch mowing heights cut five times per week and weekly. At the one inch mowing height they observed that the more frequent mowing reduced clippings 24 percent, roots 4t> percent, and rhizomes 45 percent. At the two inch mowing height the more frequent mowing reduced clippings 22 percent, roots 21 percent, and rhizomes 34 percent. This suggests that more frequent mowing is more harmful at lower mowing heights. The question of how to dispose of the clippings is often raised. Research was conducted on common Kentucky bluegrass to determine the difference in thatch development brought about by nine years of collecting and not collect ing clippings. There was no significant ( rence between treatments in th rst five years. In measurements xen in the ninth year a 12 percent reduction in thatch development (organic matter weight) resulted from collecting clippings over the nine year period. Clippings of cool-season grasses are thought to contribute little to thatch buildup, because in contrast to roots, sheathes and rhizomes, they contain small amounts of Lignin. Clippings do have significant nutrient value. Research conducted on a Kentucky bluegrass-creeping red fescue mixture maintained with approximately four pound N/1000 square foot per year for three years showed significant amounts of nitrogen derived from clippings in the third year. In these studies, using radioactive nitrogen tracers; when clippings were not returned, about equal amounts of nitrogen were derived from soil and applied fertilizer. Where clippings were returned, clipping yields increased by about onethird and nitrogen in the grass plants was coming equally from soil, fertilizer, and grass clippings. There is interest in the value of mulching mowers. Research at the University of Illinois and the University of Massachusetts does not show a statistically significant reduction in thatch with the use of mulching mowers. Mulching mowers do tend to speed up leaf decomposition and nitrogen recycling. In general, higher mowing heights, less frequent mowing (within limits), alternating mowing patterns, using light mowers and returning clippings where possible, will tend to reduce the total stress created by mowing.

►Fugitive From Page A-2 Office said Brown was also charged with marital sexual battery and abduction after he was returned to custody. Streapy said the grand jury will return for a special session to consider additional charges against Brown. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke has not yet set that date, Streapy said. • No charges were filed in an early morning accident July 21 on U.S. 522 near Scrabble. Virginia State Trooper C.A. Moore reported that two trucks driven by Jesse James Wise, 33, of Culpeper, and Robert Ray Good, 52, of Rixeyville, sideswiped each other as their vehicles passed in a curve. Moore reported minor damage to the two men’s pickups, and cited conficting stories and non-documented physical evidence as reasons for the lack of charges. Wise suffered minor injuries, he said. • Thomas R. Phelts, 48, of Alexandria, was charged with reckless driving, failure to maintain proper control, after an accident July 24. Trooper Moore reported that Phelts was driving a 1989 Mack truck southbound on U.S. 522 near Huntly, when he slowed for traffic ahead. Moore reported that Phelts’ truck skidded on the wet pavement and crossed into the northbound lane. Dorothy Sue Daniels, 46, of Front Royal, swerved to avoid the truck and ran off the right side of the road and hit a rock wall. Neither driver was injured, Moore said, and Phelts’ truck was not damaged. He estimated $1,000 damage to Ms. Daniels’ 1985 Buick, and $50 damage to the rock wall. • Two motorcyclists were injured July 26 in separate accidents on the same stretch of U.S. 211 west of Sperryville. Kimberly Ann Kraus, 19, of Woodbridge, was injured about 1 p.m. when her 1989 Harley-Davidson, skidded out of control one-half mile west of Route 667. Trooper Moore reported that Ms. Kraus said the bike skidded as she applied the rear brake on a downgrade. She was charged with reckless driving, failure to maintain proper control. About two hours later, at approximately the same spot, Moore said James Harold Cook, 48, of Baltimore, Md., lost control of his 1987 Yamaha when he failed to negotiate a curve. Moore charged Cook with reckless driving, failure to maintain proper control. Moore reported that excessive speed contributed to the accident. He estimated that Cook was travelling as much as 45 miles per hour over the posted 25 mile per hour safe speed. — By LOU HATTER Virginians for Perot meeting is scheduled Petitioners and others who desire to “affect substantial, longterm, beneficial changes in our system of government” are encouraged to attend a Virginians for Perot meeting at 7 p.m., Thursday, July 30 at the Rappahannock Library, U.S. 211-522, Washington, Va. While efforts to place Ross Perot on the ballot in all 50 states will continue, new ideas are being considered at local, state and national levels as to how best harness the momentum and energy created by the Perot campaign. Following meetings in Dallas last week, district and county coordinators of the Virginians for Perot group caucused at the James River Inn in Richmond Saturday afternoon to explore proposals for an ongoing mission. The first step will be to ensure a unified front of several key issues, with the intent of “making a difference” in the outcome of the November elections. With a strong organization now in place at the precinct level, comprising some 20 to 30 million volunteers across the country, Perot supporters are preparing to provide grass roots, door-to-door support to selected candidates (be they Democrat, Republican or Independent) who share their vision of “getting America back on track.” At the conclusion of the meeting, a straw ballot was taken to prioritize the five core issues facing the Nation today and to reach a consensus as to the most viable structure to address these concerns in the months ahead. A Virginian contingency led by Tom Overrocker, who presided over Saturday’s caucus, will be presenting the results of the straw ballot for consideration at the national level at a Dallas meeting this week. Ballots, accompanied by proposals and background materials, will be distributed to those present at the July 30 meeting.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds Thursday, July 30,1992 Good times at the Scrabble Rabble thing I went to the Scrabble Rabble thing again this year. This is a Saturday afternoon affair that starts on Friday morning and ends on Sunday afternoon. I have done 15 minutes of research on the beginnings of this party and I will relate to you what I think that I have found. (You may recall an early column that put a disclaimer on the accuracy of any facts that I present). Sometime in the late ’60s, the hippie movement was blooming in Rappahannock County. There were new moon parties and solstice parties. These faded out as the hippies faded out, started cutting their hair, accepting jobs, starting businesses and getting married. This was replaced for the past nine years by the Rabble Scrabble. Then there is the simpler reason projected that it is somebody’s birthday party. (Please note that no names will be mentioned in this article, or if they are, they will be fictitious.) There are never any invitations but somehow 300 or so show up. Some bring food, some contribute money, some furnish booze and then there are those that bring only an appetite and a thirst. The real fun was that so many brought little people and all of them had fun without taking a drink, (of booze, that is). I understand that late in the evening some rednecks showed up looking for trouble but the party was out of beer so they left peacefully. In the ’60s a redneck had a short-haircut, now they have long hair. Another way to identify a redneck is to watch him walk, he puts his hands in the front pockets like he is protecting his equipment and then throws his legs forward in a slow swagger like he knows what’s he’s doing. They only perform like this if they are in a group. Alone they will sit in a corner and never speak. Also (now I'm on a run) a redneck will take a sip out of a bottle or glass and after each will hold it up high as if checking on his effect on the drink. He will do the same thing when he picks his nose. I know you have seen them do these things. I believe that this party makes Day By Day three in a row for me. It is hard to tell, they sort of blend together. You really cannot tell one from another. It is, like I can tell you everything that happened and not have been there. Like a friend, a regular, was not there, which I know because I know he was in Maine, but a year from now he will swear that he attended and prove it by reciting everything that happened. It is parties like this that make you realize why you buy liability insurance and why they won't sell it to everybody. There were four or five bands that played. I lasted through three of them. Some of them are good and some are loud, then there are those that are good and loud. I was expecting the event to open with the Star Spangled Banner but it didn’t. There was guitar tuning, drum beating and some one, two, three testing. It got better later; occasionally. I had to attend a dry party so I left about 8 p.m. They say I missed some good singing, but I know I heard it last year. There is a lot of food contributed. There is always a feeding frenzy around the good stuff. This is usually conducted by the noncontributors. People who have gone to the effort of baking a cake, pie or lasagna have too much respect to fight over it. Someone suggested that this party continue as a music meeting and that no booze be furnished. Most of the people who know and respect each other have already discovered that you don’t have to get drunk to have fun. In fact it was my observation that the old regulars hardly touch it at all. And as the old hermit said, “Think of the money I save.” Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Katie Updike was a winner with her Reserve Grand Champion steer, Bronco Buster.

Garden Club's year draws to a close By MARIAN WHITE Kappahamutck News C ontributing Writer The Rappahannock County Garden Club’s final meeting of the Virginia Federation of Garden Club’s year was held at the Fauquier Springs Country Club hosted by Helen Brown, Dottie Hooff and Marian White. Final reports of committee chairmen were presented to the regular and associate members in attendance at this luncheon meeting. President Marian White congratulated the membership on the accomplishments for the year. The club organized a new Jr. Garden Club in August 1991, in conjunction with the Rappahannock County Extension Service, chaired by Garden Club members Helen Smith and Susan Rust. Also in August, the membership organized and hosted a luncheon meeting to which potential members were invited. As a result, seven new dynamic young members were asked to join the group. The Rappahannock County Garden Club was well represented at the fall 1991 meeting of the Shenandoah District meeting of the VFGC which was held in Staunton. Three District awards were applied for and first place went to the local club in all three categories. During the last week in November, Whitcairn Farm in Flint Hill was gloriously decorated by club members for the Christmas season and the public was invited to an Open House as the Club’s gift to the community. The club also in November voted $580 for wild flower seed to be planted, in conjunction with the VDOT, in two fifty square feet sections in the median strip on Route 211. Work is anticipated to begin on the first section in the fall. During both the spring and fall seasons, the membership continues their ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY program, picking up the debris on Rt. 2.11 from its intersection with Rt. ">22 for a length of two miles. The courthouse maintenance continues with enlargement of flower beds with additional azaleas and with fall planting of the window boxes. This year the Garden Club undertook the planting of the area immediately adjacent to the new library and is maintaining during the summer months the new Junipers, dwarf English Box, and vinca which the club has donated. The Jr. Garden Club, not wanting to be left out of this project, donated five red Maples, financed by the senior club, and have undertaken the learning process of planting and maintaining a perennial bed which promises to be a source of beauty to the community for many years to come. Garden Club member Jane Peterson donated the plants from her extensive gardens. In addition, $300 was presented to the library for additional gardening books. A committee comprised of Nicki Lynch, the librarian, and members of the Garden Club made the selections. A most successful Christmas workshop was held in December, enabling the members to sponsor two Rappahannock students to the VFGC Nature Camp at Vesuvius, Va. and to present a cash award to Amy Kellert, the leading scholastic graduate of the June graduating class of RCHS. The Rappahannock County Garden Club w’as pleased to receive a Virginia Federated Garden Club State Award for Distinguished Work/Special Achievement at their state meeting held at the Sheraton in Charlottesville iii April. The Club rounded out its successful year bypresenting two scholarship grants - the first to Tonya Cave who will attend a two year community college anti the second to Sherron Boddie who will attend a four year college. As the members were diligently carrying out the above goals to fruition, the members continue to plant and arrange; for that is what garden club work is all about.

Homemade pickles and relishes By HELEN W. SMITH Evtmaton Agent. Home Kronomira You just can’t beat the flavor of homemade pickles and relishes. I recently received a new food preservation book from the Ball Company entitled Ball Blue-Ribbon Cookbook that gives instructions for canning, freezing, pickling, making jams and jellies as well as recipes for using the finished products. So I decided to share some of their information on putting up pickles in my column this week. Types of Pickles Consider the amount of time you have when deciding on which pickles to make. Fresh-pack or quick-process pickles are the best bet if you’re short on time; they can be prepared in one to two days. The cucumbers are covered with a boiling vinegarand-spice mixture and allowed to stand several hours. Even though these pickles are quick to make, the flavor is best if you let them sit in the jars after processing for three to Call for a quote. Take a minute and compare Allstate for value. You may find we can save you some money on your home or auto insurance. Call me today ... it’ll only take a minute. Carol Goddard 235 South Straat, Suita 6 Front Royal, VA 22630 (703) 635-9651 /instate* AUatatc Insurance Company r HOME ECONOMICS four weeks. Brined pickles require several weeks to prepare. The cucumbers are soaked in a brine (salt-water solution) and through a curing process. The fermentation produces lactic acid, which aids in preservation. Cucumbers change from a bright-green to a dark-olive or yellow-green color, and the flavor that develops is delicate and not too sour, salty, or spicy. Chopped, seasoned, and pickled vegetables and fruit are traditionally known as pickle relishes. The pickling process is similar to that of fresh-pack pickles, but more time is required in preparation because the vegetables must be chopped. A food processor is a great timesaver. Fruit pickles are made from whole or sliced fruit simmered in a spicy, sweet-sour syrup. Peaches, |H*ars, figs, crabapples, green tomatoes, and watermelon rind are popular Southern fruits for pickling. Equipment You’ll need the same utensils for processing pickles as you do for jams, jellies, and high-acid canned goods - a water-bath canner with rack, standard canning jars, new metal lids, metal bands, jar Filler or funnel, timer, jar lifter, and a slotted spoon. Since pickles are usually processed in a water bath for under 15 minutes, the canning jars need to be sterilized by boiling in water 15 minutes. For fresh-pack pickles, be sure to 1 use containers of unchipped enam- 1 elware, stainless steel, aluminum, or 1 glass for heating the vinegar solu- 1 tion. You should only use a crock, stone, or glass jar or plastic con- 1 tainer intended for use with food for | brining pickles. Other materials, i such as copper, brass, galvanized i steel, or iron may affect the pickle : product or be unsafe. I Household scales are also helpful, especially for making sauerkraut i (a brined pickle product). The proper proportions of salt and cabbage are necessary for successful results. Ingredients Always start with just-ripe produce that is free from deformities, bruises, and blemishes. It’s best to begin pickling within 24 hours after fruit or vegetables are picked. If you can’t start pickling right away, store the produce, unwashed, in the refrigerator, or spread it in a cool, ventilated area. Cucumbers will deteriorate quickly at room temperature. Be sure to select a pickling variety of cucumber. If you plan to pickle them whole, choose unwaxed cucumbers since pickling solutions won’t penetrate the wax. Wash the cucumbers well, especially around the stem end, since it can harbor undesirable bacteria, which affect the pickles. Be sure to remove the blossom end before pickling since enzymes stored there cause pickles to soften. Vinegar and salt are essential for making pickles, and amounts should never be reduced. Vinegar provides the acidity necessary for preservation of fresh-pack pickles. Always use vinegar between 4 percent and 6 percent acidity (it’s listed on the label). You may use cider or white vinegar, but cider vinegar can darken light-colored vegetables and fruit. Be sure to use granulated unioJized pickling or canning salt. Table <alt contains anti-caking ingrelients, which may leave a white sedment in the pickles or cloud the nrine. Most pickling recipes call for iome sugar, since it helps to plump ;he pickles and keep them crisp. Uness the recipe specifies brown sugar, use the regular white granuated kind. Spices give pickles their distinc;ive flavor - dill, garlic, cinnamon, nustard seeds, and cloves are just a lew typically used. It’s best to start vith fresh, whole spices; powdered ines may darken and cloud the )ickle product. Tie spices in a :heesecloth bag so they may be reno ved easily. Lime and alum are additives that lave been used to ensure crisp lickles, but they are no longer recimmended or needed. If you follow ip-to-date methods for pickling and ■tart with good quality ingredients, lickles will be crisp. If you need more detailed instructions on making pickles, call or stop by the Extension Office for a publication on food preservation.
