ESS has been operating the plant since July 8, when the WSA brought them in to correct violations at the plant noted in reports from the State Water Control Board. The motion to enter into the cqntract provides that the WSA can withdraw from the contract if state laws require that the WSA advertise for bids for the service. The contract provides for ESS to have a licensed operator at the plant for four hours a day seven days a week. The WSA has to provide someone else, who does not have to be a licensed operator, to run an additional lab test four hours later each day. WSA members will be meeting with representatives from the SWCB, County Attorney Peter Luke, County Administrator John McCarthy, and representatives from ESS in attorney Douglas Baumgardner’s office Aug. 19 to discuss fines that the SWCB may order the WSA to pay for violations. WSA secretary treasurer Jimmy Swindler Jr. noted that the SWCB had requested that the WSA supply a VCR and television as well as a slide projector for the meeting. “I think they want to show the plant in See WSA, Page A-6 T By FRANCES HISHUI'F and JOHN BRETSCHNEIDER Rappahannock Ne»« StaffWriter* The unemployment rate in Rappahannock County jumped from 8.6 percent in May to 12 percent in June of this year, representing a loss of jobs for approximately 140 people in the county. White the Virginia Employment Commission theorized in its monthly report that the jump in Rappahannock could be attributed to an influx of seasonal workers who have not yet started to work, it appears that these workers are just now moving to the county and would not be jacked up as statistics as of yet. Conway Porter, unemployment insurance manager of the Culpeper VEC suggested that possibly the jump could be the result of layoffs at several plants in surrounding counties. Gene Schultz, job service manager of the Winchester VEC, said the most likely reasons for the jump could possibly be June statistics picking up the graduating high school students and the continuing recession related slowdown in the building industry. In June of 1991, the unemployment rate in Rappahannock was 7.6 percent, almost five percent less than what it is today. While Rappahannock’s rate is far higher than any of the other counties in Planning District 9, Schultz pointed out that it is pretty much in line with other surrounding counties such as Page or Warren. “Rappahannock, like Page and Warren, is suffering from the fact that many of its construction workers are not employed,” he said. "Because Rappahannock has such an extremely small labor force, (currently 3,531 employed, 482 unSee County* Page A-6 <»i uti a; •iir,iir A Regional Unemployment rerceniage or iaDor rorce actively seeking work Data Source: Virginia Employment Comm.

Marshall By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Two people were killed last weekend when their small homebuilt aircraft slammed into the side of North Marshall, about 100 yards below its summit in Shenandoah National Park, southwest of Chester Gap. Sandy Rives, the park’s public information officer, said Wednesday morning that the victims have been tentatively identified as Scott H. Haslam, 35, and his wife, Jane Marchant, age unknown, of Glen Allen, Va. Mr. Rives said the couple was last seen when they took off in their Long Eze from Hanover County Municipal Airport at 10 a.m. Saturday on a flight to Chambersburg, Pa. Rives said one of the National Transportation Safety Board investigators at the crash site Tuesday esSee Crash, Page A-2 Site of | crash - • Elected Board on ballot Rappahannock voters should have a chance to decide whether they want to have an elected School Board this November. Susan Parrish and her friends did succeed in gathering enough signatures to place the question on the ballot this year. They needed almost 350, 10 percent of the voters, and the deadline was last Wednesday. If the voters favor changing the method for selecting School Board members from appointment by the Board of Supervisors to election by the voters, it will be 1995 before the first School Board election occurs. The law authorizing referendums for I voting for the School Board members requires that candidates for School Board run in the same elections as the races for members of the Board of Supervisors. The only remaining challenge to the referendum is with the U.S. Department of Justice. The state NAACP has asked the Justice Department to disallow the referendums on the grounds that fewer minority members may be elected to School Boards than are now being appointed. Most observers expect the challenge to fail because Virginia is now the only state that does not allow elected School Boards. 1 Old Rag Bulletins Warning issued Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke warns residents of Rappahannock County to be on the alert as to persons who may come to their homes trying to sell asphalt paving. At least two county residents have been recent victims of schemes in which people appeared at their doors trying to sell asphalt supposedly left over from other paving jobs. In these cases the asphalt purchased was of poor quality, not properly applied and the charge was excessive. For more information or any person who has been victimized may call the Office of the Commonwealth Attorney at 675-3318.

According to the extended forecast from the National Weather Service, this weekend should be unseasonably cool, with daytime highs only in the high 7Qs. Nighttime lows will dip into the 6Qs, and there’s a chance of afternoon thundershowers each day. * ▼ Education, parks funded if bonds are approved By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer When Virginia voters go to the polls this November they will have to decide on more than candidates for President, vice president and House of Representatives. This year state voters will also be asked to decide on three state bond referendums. If the voters approve, bonds will be issued to support higher education, parks and recreation and mental health. The bonds will be paid off with proceeds from the state lottery. The proposal for mental health is for $45 million. Of that amount $6.1 million would be for construction of an addition and improvements to Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute, $18 million would be for improvements to food service facilities at several mental hospitals and mental retardation training centers and $7.1 million for a replacement hospital for children in Staunton. The bonds for parks and recreation add up to $95.4 million. Of this $5.2 million would be for improvements to dams at Douthat and Hungry Mother State Parks, $1.2 million would be for providing handicapped access to several state parks, $26.5 million would be for buying more land for state parks and $11.5 million for buying more land for natural areas. The largest bond proposal is $472.4 milSee Bonds, Page A-2 School Board adopts new discipline policies By SHARON KILPATRICK RappahanniH'k News Staff Writer The School Board adopted revised discipline policies for behavior on school buses and in the high school at Tuesday night’s meeting. High school principal John Toth said he expects to take quick action on cases of “foul language, disrespect towards teachers, and tardiness.” The nev. policies are partly in response to questionaires filled out by parents at the beginning of school last year. Several parents indicated they felt a lack of “fairness" in discipline cases at the high school was a problem. Several parents also indicated they felt there were problems with behavior on school buses. High school teachers have said tardiness in coming to class is,an increasing problem. For tardiness the first case will result in a warning with a note sent to a parent. The second offense will result in lunch detention, and the third case will result in in-school suspension with the parent contacted.

Mr. Rives said the park was notified of the location of the crash at 4:30 p.m. Monday after a Virginia State Police helicopter, which was assisting in the search for the overdue aircraft, located the plane. A search party located the wreckage on the ground by 6p.m., Rives said, but due to the impending nightfall and the remote location, it was decided not to remove the bodies until Tuesday morning. Reportedly, Haslam was a commercial pilot with US Air based in Pittsburgh. Mr. Rives said there was a substantial fire after the crash which badly burned both victims, and a postive identification will be made by the state forensics laboratory in Fairfax County. On Tuesday, investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board were at the crash site. A determination of the cause of the crash will be issued following their investigation. Mr. Rives estimated that final determination could take up to six months. Chief Ranger Larry Hakel said the insurance company which covered the aircraft is responsible for removing the wreckage from its remote location just below the peak of PUBLIC NOTICE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION Public notice is hereby given that the Board of Equalization for Rappahannock County will meet AT THE COURTHOUSE from 9:00 A.M.-12:00 Noon, AUGUST 14th and 17th, 1992 - for the purpose of equalizing real estate assessments, and for the purpose of hearing complaints of inequalities, including errors in acreage.

High technology finds its way to Rappahannock By LISA CURRIE and FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock Naira Staff Wrltara Rappahannock County. The words bring to mind a tranquil land sheltered by sloping Blue Ridge Mountain ranges - an agricultural area plotted off in rows of well-kept orchard spaces or large wide open fields dotted with grazing livestock. Or. . .a developing high-tech market place busy with graphic artist or computer consultant cottage industries or world-wide competing computer program software enterprises. The characterization - opposites in the economic community — are both representative of a changing Rappahannock County. The high-tech computer industry is taking its place alongside the traditional agricultural base as computers become more obtainable and computer results more demanded by consumers, countywide, statewide and worldwide. The computer world is a varied industry and all aspects are growing in Rappahannock’s fertile marketspace. From creating computer software in Flint Hill to selling the product worldwide to consulting and educating national companies on computer usefulness from a homebased Woodville office to designing and producing graphic art or typesetting newsleters on a simple Apple Macintosh II computer located in Gid Brown Hollow, the computer industry has lodged itself in Rappahannock’s economic backbone and continues to grow with demand. “This business just came and knocked on our door,” Mary Carnahan of Small Fry Graphics said. The five-year-old business, shared with Jensen Kvames, is run from Kvarnes’ home in Gid Brown Hollow and produces Macintosh-designed materials ranging from local newsletters, sales pamphlets, business cards, to statewide promotional materials, nationally distributed sales materials or advertisements for newspapers or magazines. “We don’t advertise,” Ms. Carnahan said, adding that through word of mouth their existance become known and with it business opportunities. Sitting in a small office, the workspace walls decorated with numerous job products and table tops crowded with two Apple Macintosh II computers with two 13-inch diagonal computer screens capable of producing over 230 colors and keyboards, a scanner, a laser printer, a modeum, a fax machine and a telephone, the couple create their unique yet personally designed materials. “We’re small enough that the customer can sit right here with us and have a say in what they want and where,” on their newsletter, business card, advertisement or pamphlet, Ms. Carnahan said pointing to an example - a recorder scanned onto the computer screen and retouched by Ms. Carnahan in order to be original for the customer. Besides walk-ins and usual customers, Mr. Kvarnes explained that often work is done in conjunction with local printers or with a colleague, Richard Pla, from Slate Mills. “He was looking for someone Bleu Rock Inn ta\i HOURS Dinner: Tucs.-Sat. 5:30-9:30 PM Sunday Brunch & Dinner: 11-9:30 PM —***— French/American Cuisine Blue Ridge Vista US 211 between Sperryyille and Washington, Virginia 703-987-3190 to do some graphics and we were looking for some work,” Mr. Kvames said of their beginning. Mr. Kvames, an ex-garbage collector, obtained his first computer to keep garbage business records. His garbage business failed but his computer interest grew and with it his computer warehouse. Today he owns four computers, basically using the two Apple Macintosh IIs. He’s had no regrets giving up his garbage business and chancing the computer industry. “I did a newsletter with Daphne Hutchinson and I was hooked,” he said with laughter, adding that since his days as a youth watching “Star Trek” his interest in computers has been unquenchable. “There is so much you can do with Apple Macintosh II’s desk top publishing,” he said eagerly, adding that after several years of selfguided study and hours upon hours of dedicated work he is now able to provide consultation and teach others computer usage. His business with Ms. Carnahan comes before his educational endeavors. “There are print shops everywhere,” she said adding that the impersonal atmosphere often makes the consumer feel less creative and more disatisfied. “We’re small and we care more, giving the customer a real choice in what they want,” she said, referring to the customers ability to sit at the computer and discuss layout or design with either Mr. Kvames or herself. Nestled deep in Gid Brown Hollow, the office does not benefit from business found on a busy downtown throughfare. Early on, the remoteness did not seem to handicap the new business, however, today, Mr. Kvames said the recession has presented a large obstacle for the small company, causing the owners to look farther and farther away for business. In the last year or so,‘ said Mr. Kvames, business has been nip and tuck. We are steady, but we are very slow.* Small Fry has done a large amount of local business since the inception of the company, ‘but there is only so much work that can be done in the Rappahannock area,' pointed out Mr. Kvames. Area businesses Small Fry has worked for in the past include the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, and the Oldway Craft Village. Mr. Kvames said, “if you’ve been to Little Washington, you’ve seen our work.” But, the couple does not just produce local copy. Their Apple Macintosh II files are filled with materials for clients as far away as California or as close as Front Royal. The two are part of an entire publication network.

Time-saving, economic and productive is the computer’s name to fame. Learning to use all these techniques in a business is not natural instinct - it takes time and effort - time and effort Stephen Day has to give. Automating business processes and teaching people how to use them is how Mr. Day makes his living. “I’m a hired gun,” Mr. Day said with a slow smile, sitting in his office/home just outside Woodville. The walls are filled with shelves 12 feet or higher crowded with computer magazines, consulting educational based books, programs and other computer paraphanelia while one comer host his computer system - his 33 megahurtz storage center with keyboard and screen - capable of colors, shades, designs and other graphics -, a dumb terminal - one used to send and receive messages -, and an additional monitor. Mr. Day, a computer analyst and consultant, is invited into companies to decided how they can use a computer to make them more efficient and beneficial to themselves. “I am encouraged to wander around and interview the staff and find out where the bottleneck is,” he said, punching keys on the machine to show a program recently completed. “I recommend changes,” he said, pointing to the various things the computer enables the company employees to do with one pushed key - eliminating paperwork, and or making paper work, to save time, mistakes and money wasted. “Though I used to write all of the programs I designed, I now find that using other consultants both saves money and speeds the entire process.” Again, like Ms. Carnahan and Mr. Kvarnes of Small Fry Graphics, Mr. Day is part of a computer network whose boundaries reach far beyond Rappahannock County. However, as a business changes, so must its systems. As a result, Mr. Day is generally called back in to update the systems he creates. “Evolution,” is how Mr. Day describes these follow-ups. “If during my initial work with a fiven client I hear the word ‘revolution,’ I know I’m on the right track.” Day’s list of clients Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan From left to right John Jamieson, Greg Cook, Keith Ellis, James Wood, Craig Landrum, David Wiggins, Lynn Wright, Cady Soukup, Megan Blaumer and Christine Keller are all employees of Blueridge Technologies. range From pharmaceutical market research firm’s to fruit brokers to international banks. “What I like most about my job is diversity, after all, my function is to identify problems, implement solutions, and go away.” he said. Mr. Day has been involved with computers since 1969 when computers were in their infantile stages - expensive and massive systems. Instead of the micro-computers of today - compact and desk top size - the older computers often filled a large room with their bulk. They costed millions to purchase, operate and maintain. Companies, both large and small, would pay per second to use the one companies’ computer’s data banks. This method was called timesharing and though still practiced today, the business is declining. “They cost millions and many companies didn’t - and don’t - have that to invest in a computer,” Mr. Day explained, adding that the over-sized brief-case box under his desk - his computer’s brain - had more power than the large roomsized computers of the past and are a fraction of the cost. Leaving the computers of the past behind, in the 1970’s Mr. Day joined a colleague in a business which converted programs to run on AN INVESTMENT OF A LIFETIME WITH THE BONUS OF A LIFETIME EXCLUSIVE* CHEF’S FOOD LOCKER" AND AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER | Chet s Food Locker'* | • 20.9 cy. ft. capacity • Factory installed ice maker • Deli compartment for cold cuts and cheese • Extra-cold compartmont for fresh meat and fish • Humidity-controlled compartments for vegetables and fruit • Adjustable tempered glass shelves • Deep door shelves V Magic Chef4 RB21-4AF 'A Magic Chat Company Exclusive Area's Newest Now Only $649.00 jjTMagic Chef* Dealership. • Worth up to $500 i See Dealer for Details 30" DESIGNER WHITE GAS RANGE WITH SEALED BURNERS Exciulir** Dual Partormaaca jaajad laraara ■ Daafgnar Whto color > Exdualva* Ouat Fartormana aaaledbuman 1 Two Supar Spaad bumara— 35% (attar 1 Elactronic oven control ' Electronic pUoUaaa Ignition Oray DuraGralaa~ White glaaaovan door 1 White glaas bacfcguaid " Electronic digital dock and IhU'niQiM 3MN*fTKVW-€V Now Only $479.00 VkMagftCMi SWAN’S J.A.

The Audit Bmrjw THURSDAY, Aug. 13,1992 Stiff fines will not solve the problem We hope the State Water Control Board can be persuaded not to fine the county Water and Sewer Authority lor violations at the Sperryville sewer plant. We do not condone the violations that occurred at the plant. Apparently laboratory tests were being performed Incorrectly. Reports of lab tests were not accurate and may have been made up. There is some evidence that former operator Tim Falls was not at the plant every day. Finally the situation reached the point where partially treated sewage was flowing through the plant into the Thornton River. WSA members appear to want to lay all the blame for these conditions on Mr. Falls, but they had some responsibility for supervising his work. When Mr. Falls took the job of plant operator, he agreed to work four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. It was probably unreasonable to expect anyone to take on such a schedule. In addition Mr. Falls was farming, had his own welding business, and most recently established a business spreading lime and fertilizer. Recently Mr. Falls was told he would have to return to the plant to conduct a third test four hours after he left at the end of his four hour shift. No a4justment was made to Mr. Falls’s pay for this additional work. Authority members felt it could still all be done in four hours a day split between three times of being at the plant, but such a schedule left little time lor other work. The SWCB was concerned that discharge monitoring Reports were late. In April inspectors from the northern region office arrived to do a laboratory inspection. WSA jnember Jimmy Swindler Jr. was present for this inspection. SWCB inspectors noted problems with the plant that they did not bring to Mr. Swindler’s attention. ; Mr. Swindler did discover that two pieces of equipment were not operating correctly and that Mr. Falls was not conducting the tests in a way that satisfied the inspectors. Within a week the two pieces of equipment had been replaced, and at a later meeting Mr. Swindler informed other WSA members that the new budget should include funds to provide Mr. Falls with further training. Such funds were included in the current budget. The SWCB made three other inspections of the plant gathering further evidence of violations, but only after the feist visit July 7 did they tell Mr. Swindler of the serious problems their inspections were uncovering. Apparently they were assuming the WSA was in “cahoots” with the operator to cover up the violations. Within 24 hours the WSA contracted with Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper to operate the plant, and within two weeks the plant was operating correctly. Thus, while the WSA members may have been lax in their supervision of Mr. Falls, they responded quickly and properly when they became aware of the serious problems at the plant. There are still problems at the plant. The pumping system creates surges in the discharge that exceed the plants limitations. Heavy rains bring flows of storm water that cause washouts of the plant. The system was designed to take only septic tank outflow. It should not be picking up storm water, and the fact that it is indicates that there are problems in the distribution system. * Correcting these problems will take money. Whether the WSA continues with ESS as plant operator or arranges to hire another operator, the cost of operation will go up. The WSA has already experienced large increases in the cost of chemicals for the plant. ; The Sperryville sewer plant has approximately 150 users. Many of these are people with limited incomes. Some have trouble paying the current charges of $15.50 per month (businesses pay more). They are surely facing another rate increase within a year. The SWCB should not expect this small number of users to cover fines levied against the WSA. $$$ mm Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock Newt Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan il Two fawns by the roadside near Boston quietly munch on grass, apparently unfazed by passing traffic. etters to the Editor Thanks once again To the Editor: In last week’s “News” (bottom of Bl) there is an article on an upcoming presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Pinafore.” In paragraph three it mentioned the previous production 12 years ago of that gem in the G & S crown, a production which accomplished four objectives, two intended (hoped for) and two fortuitous: it made a profit for the library; it woke the theater from a 20*year snooze; it was successful enough to justify a third, unexpected performance; and it spawned the Rappahannock Players. The article also gave the single billing in addition to a misspelled name) when in truth there were numerous hardworking contributors to that quite enjoyable run. The cast, both solo performers and chorus, comes first to mind but there were a dozen or more “others” who gave of their time and energy to putting the play on. Naturally my wife is easily remembered in the matter of clothing the ensemble. The costumes were appropriate and effective and represented the skill of many sewers. There was also lighting to provide and operate, all done with professional skill. There were props and set building plus enlarging the stage; I had great help there. Finally there were tickets to sell; Mary Jamieson’s indefatigable efforts made the show a financial succes and an extra showing necessary. In all, a terrific crew to whom I am happy once again to voice my sincere thanks. WALDRON O’CONNOR Washington Change is not always better To the Editor: In the “News” of Thursday, Aug. 6, 1992 in Easy road predicted for name changes by Sharon Kilpatrick, I am upset that someone had suggested that Route 614 be named (or renamed) Little Devil Stairs Road. Change is not always better, and often those wanting to make the changes don’t know what they’re doing. Therefore I offer the following (which can be verified): James Hector Smedley, for whom it is apparent Smedley Hollow was named for, lived on part of the Snead Farm. He died and is buried on the old Compton place, now Kvames property. The cemetery is on the little hill beside the bam, which is unrecognizable now, since a former owner, T. Baldwin, had this spot cleared years ago, there were no readable tombstones, only field stones to mark the graves. Smedley Post Office, formerly Lyle (after Darius Lyle Miller Sr.) was named for this same family. The building, the old store and post office is still standing near Promise Land Baptist Church. According to the Courthouse Cat ‘While the Town Council mulls over the choice of which streetlight would be appropriate for the town, I have been busy studying up on the situation. After all, we cats have been hanging around streetlights for years. The fixture by the Courthouse is in two words, real ugly, although probably efficient. The one down by Trinity Episcopal Church, I kind of like, but it has two many curlycues for my taste. Being a traditional kind of cat, I’m going to cast my vote for the old fashioned light fixture down near the Health Department, simple, but tasteful.’ — Calvin William “Bill” Smedley lived up the other hollow, Racer Hollow, across the road from the Oscar Baldwin place. This property was owned by Philip Rudasill and before tljiat the Partlow family. One of the oldest and best known citizens of Rappahannock County, who died three days short of her 95th birthday, was Nancy Jane Smedley Beahm. Known more affectionately as “Janie” Beahm. She was a daughter of William Smedley and a niece of the aforementioned James Smedley. Janie lived on Route 614, near the Little Devil Stairs. Grant it, Little Devil Stairs has its place and is known quite well, but mainly to a hiker who now days seems to be the “foreigner.” Janie Smedley Beahm touched more lives and probably is remembered by far more natives than will ever be known. The Smedley family, too, touched the lives or Rappahannock’s citizenry. From “Bill” Smedley, who was known for his grafting techniques and capabilities, often being employed by both the Keysers and Sneads, to the.Smedleys who ran the Post Office. Isn’t it an irony that people who never knew a Smedley or their worth want to change or erase from someone else’s memory knowledge of them? Stay with Smedley Hollow Road! Little Devil Stairs is in the bounds of Shenandoah National Park anyway and no one can drive to it. I hope the Board of Supervisors will read this as I’m sure some of, them have forgotten the history be- ’ hind the name we’ve known so long. WAYNE F.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Frances Bishopp Rappahannock girls Sharnita Fletcher, left, Laura McNear, Janet Hitt, Amy Payne and Susan Jewell were members of the Culpeper All Star team. 5 Rappahannock County girls play with Culpeper All-Stars By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock N*w« Staff Writer The Democrats at their national convention last month declared it the year of the woman. From the looks of it in Rappahannock County, it's a prophecy that appears to be materializing rapidly as a number of young women in the area distinquish themselves through their 4-H accomplishments and their agility on the baseball field. At the farm show this year, the top prizes were taken by two Rappahannock teenage girls, Mary Beth Williams and Katie Updike. In a whole other arena, girl’s softball, five county girls made their mark this spring by being chosen for the Senior League Culpeper All-Stars , after an excellent season of playing on their home team, the Sperryville Exons. The Exons, which is actually part of the Culpeper league, came in second place this year. Coached by Carl Payne of Sperryville, whose daughter, Amy, 14, plays on the team and Ann Jenkins of Culpeper, the All-Stars consisted of 14 players, five of whom were chosen from Rappahannock County. Chosen were Janet Hitt, 14, of Castleton, who plays second base, Sharnita Fletcher, 13, of Harris Hollow, center field and pitcher, Susan Jewell, 14, of Castleton, left field, Laura NcNear, 14, of Gid Brown Hollow, right field, and Amy Payne, 14, of Sperry ville, right field and pitcher. The all-star team first captured the District 10 Little League championship and subsequently traveled to Portsmouth the last weekend in July to compete in the 12-team double elimination state level senior championship tournament. On the regional level, the All Stars won its first victory over Chantilly, July 9, beating them 16 to four and seven to two. From the regional, the girls then traveled to Portsmouth to play on the state level. There they played the state champions from last year, the Azaleas, and beat them 13 to five. The next game against the Lynchburg and Richlands team, losing both games. By losing two games in a row, the Culpeper All-Stars were eliminated from the tournament. “Beating the Azaleas was quite an accomplishment,’’said Jeanie Me Near, mother of Laura McNear. “They were the state champs for the last two years in a row. ” Coach Payne, who coached both the Exons and the All-Stars, has been coaching girl’s softball for many years. All of the girls have been playing ball since they were quite young. The 14 members of the all-star team were selected by a popular vote conducted by all the players in the league. All of the girls are looking forward to playing on the high school team this coming year. In addition to league funds which financed part of the trip to Protmouth, the team was lucky enough to solict donations from Rappahannock businesses for which they were very grateful. “The community support we received was terrific,” said Mrs. McNear. “These girls made a great committment to play on this team,” said Mrs. McNear. ‘They had to go to Culpeper to practice many days out of the week and it demanded a lot of time and hard work.” ►Hitecn From Page A-3 alone. Using programers locally and nationally, Mr. Day sub-contracts work to make the project move more affectively and more efficiently into working stages. His office is different from the Small Fry office - while Mr. Kvarnes and Ms. Carnahan send and receive messages via fax and phone, Mr. Day uses his dumb terminal. The small framed window on his desk flashes notices that messages have arrived and from whom. Punching keys and codes he responds, “I also use MCI mail,” he said. Mr. Day's business is different from Small Fry Graphics in other ways, too. While Mr. Kvarnes and Ms. Carnahan have several clients and rely on the variety, Mr. Day carries on business as usual with one or two. it s expensive, Mr. uay said ot the consultation services. “Not many can afford it,” he added. Expense is one thing Blueridge Technologies is trying to take out of the computer industry. The five-year-old business, located in the Flint Hill Square shopping area, brings the highest in computer technology to one of the most agricultural counties in Virginia - programming. The business, opened and operated by two long-time Northern Virginia business colleagues now Rappahannock residents - Dr. John Jamison, and Craig Landrum -, hopes to take the complication out of computer technology with their newly designed workstations, more user-ready and affordable for the average businessman - the doctor, the lawyer, the insurance representative, the banker, the architech or the scientist. “We build electronic file folders,” Mr. Landrum said, simplifying the business’s operations and adding that the program offered by Blueridge allows documents to be scanned instead of copied and the images stored on magnetic or optical disk for later use. The program unique to Blueridge industries is “Optix” - a computer system, based on the Apple Macintosh System, which scans several types of materials, stores them on one disk, retrieves them easily, and/or can be as large as one desk top enhanced computer or a complete network of computers connected to larger computers, scanners, and printers. “Anyone who uses microfilm or a great archive of paper could use this program,” Dr. Jamison said, adding that one 12 inch disk could save 40 thousands pages of information. The program allows doctors to scan written information about a patient, prescriptions, x-rays or other material all on one disk for easy access and referral. It allows insurance brokers to keep files, written or typed, diagrams, forms and other items “stapled” together on one file. “Anything on paper you can scan and keep, from maps to insurance forms,” Mr. Landrum said, showing a topographical map scanned onto the huge Macintosh screen. “It’s projected to the billion dollar industry,” of the future, Dr. Jamison said with pride. The “Optix” idea stems from Dr. Jamison’s and Mr. Landrum’s previous work experience. as employees oi riannmg research Corp. in Herndon, the two men helped write and build the system presently used by the United States Patent Office - a program which cost $400 million to build but allowed patents to be scanned easily onto disk for storage and later review. “It would take 18 months to two years to review all the patents for similarities before a new patent was issued,” Dr. Jamison said of the outdated technique once used by the US Patent Office. “With the program, patents can be scanned, stored, retrieved easily, speeding the process along.” Using this technique but perfecting it to work on small micro - or home - computer systems and making it financially feasible for small businesspeople, Dr. Jamison and Mr. Landrum’s business competes for clients as close as Reston and as faraway as Japan. The business does advertise in professional magazines though several customers joined them as they opened their doors nearly two years ago. Through recommendations and repeat customers the company “has a fairly good business,” Mr. Landrum said with a slow and content smile. Their isolation from the concrete jungle has not been detrimental to their business. “Clients pause for a second when you tell them where you are located,” Dr. Jamison said of his business location - typically metropolitan not rural. “Then, they become fascinated and drive out here just for the drive and to get away from the city,” he said, adding that finding programmers was no problem either since most “people liked the idea of living and working out here.” “When clients buy they are not concerned with the location” of their distributor, Dr. Jamison said, adding that both men were glad to leave city life behind and take up residence in Rappahannock. Time saved is time gained to the partners. “Whatever time we save on the road, we spend here,” Dr. Jamison, a computer veteran of many years with a doctorate in nuclear engineering from Georgia Tech, said. Dr. Jamison designs the computer boards for the systems - writing programs and printing the circuit boards.. woriang witn otnces in uarnornia or Maryland, the large numbers of circuit boards are done out of house while smaller orders are perfected by Dr. Jamison. ‘^Jamison designs the hardware,” Mr. Landrum said, explaing that whatever you see on the computer is software - everything inside making it work is hardware. Mr. Landrum, who says he wanted to be a baker, specialized in code breaking while in the United States Army, later working for the National Security Agency and then Planning Research Corporation where he met Dr. Jamison. At Blueridge Technologies, Mr. Landrum programs computers. Ins side the office, requiring an upper and lower level of workspace in the tiny shopping area, Apple Macintosh, IBM’s Sun computers flash and blink and click and sing and dance to the staff of 18. Not all the computers belong to the growing business. “Clients leave theri machines here to be programmed,” Mr. Landrum said, adding that the variety made things “interesting” in the office. Interesting the office is with computers of all shapes and sizes - computers with colored screends, computers that sing, computers that come complete with advertising for the computer company. Unlike Mr. Day and Small Fry Graphics, Blueridge Technologies is not a cottage industry but a growing computer programming network stretching out across the county boundaries to the world.

Outstanding worker Rappahannock Newt Staff Photo/Francei Bithopp Stephanie Atkins, 15, of Slate Mills has been given an award for ‘Outstanding Work Performance* by the Summer Youth Employment Training Program. Miss Atkins was chosen for the progani in June and subsequently worked for the Rappahannock County Library through June and July. Miss Atkins, who was commended on her determination, drive and responsibility, will also represent the training program at the Summer Youth Institute, Aug. 10-14, in Staunton, where she will be involved in job training workshops. ►WSA From Page A-l its most decrepit condition to make us realize the seriousness of the situation,” he said. “If they are going to make a presentation, it would be appropriate if we make ours,” WSA Chairman Gene Leggett said. Mr. Swindler said April Young, one of the inspectors from the northern regional office of the SWCB, had been to the plant last week and seemed pleased with what had been done since ESS took over. WSA members again said they did not think the Authority should be forced to pay fines for the violations at the plant. . “The only function of a fine is as a punishment, based on their belief that we were being negligent,” Mr. Leggett said. “A fine doesn’t motivate us more; it simply makes it harder for us to do it." The WSA has about $60,000 in savings to pay the increased cost of having ESS operate the plant. Any fine would have to come from the same savings. Noting that the WSA had responded within 24 hours to employ ESS after getting reports from the SWCB, Mr. Leggett said, “I doubt they have ever had a quicker response.” Member Mark Bailey agreed. “It looks like the SWCB spent weeks gathering evidence when they could have let us know of the problems at the plant,” he said. Carson Johnson noted that when the WSA first found out that there were problems with reports being late, they responded immediately. Plant operator Tim Falls said he had problems because of the time delay in getting reports from the testing lab in Charlottesville. The Authority had an answering machine put on the telephone in the plant so lab reports could be reported sooner. Mr. Johnson added that this had not solved the problem since a discharge monitoring report he signed on the 8th of one month did not reach the SWCB until the 31st. Mr. Swindler reported that he had been able to find suppliers for the main chemicals used at the plant who can provide the chemicals for less than the Authority has been paying. The WSA has been paying $125 for a bucket of dechlorination tablets. Mr. Swindler said he would be able to get them for $100 per bucket. Even at that lower price, they will cost $12,000 per year, he noted. “Then the budget is in trouble al MOVING SALE Can't Take tt All With Us! Hydrotech Chemicals Accessories Floor Models ...

"Plus you must be careful at looking at one month’s figures,” he added. "You must look at the long term trend to make any significant observations.” Schultz also pointed out that the higher the labor force, the higher the unemployment rate. Rappahannock’s labor force jUmped to 4,013 in June, the highest that it has been for 13 months. “You must remember that the labor force increasing for just one month doesn’t really mean anything,” he said. “If its up for one month it could be the kids getting out of school or students coming home from college.” "Rappahannock’s 12-percent unemployment rate compared to Fauquier’s at 4.8 percent or even Culpeper at 9.4 percent seems high, but actually compared to Page County, which is hovering around 12, 13 and 14 percent or Page at 10 or 11 percent, it is not out of line,” he said. “Remember that Rappahannock is a very small county and any change makes a big difference,” he added. Meanwhile the employment skies brightened recently for •Fauquier residents as the jobless rate here dropped to 4.8 percent in June, the lowest that figure has been this year. ready,” Mr. Leggett said, noting that $12,000 is the amount included in the budget for plant chemicals. Mr. Swindler said the other chemical used most is chlorine. The authority has been paying $69.55 per 50-gallon drum of chlorine, and Mr. Swindler said he would be able to get chlorine for $41.80 per drum. Mr. Swindler also said ESS has been able to reduce the surges at the plant that have caused some of the problems, but the surges are still going on. In the past some of the surges were at the rate of 90,000 gallons per day, and now they are closer to 60,000 he said. The plant was designed to handle up to 55,000 gallons per day and normally handles about 22,000, he said. If the surges could be eliminated, the plant could probably operate with fewer chemicals, he added. 150k sponsored The 150k Molaon Cycle Tour for Cystic Fibrosis is scheduled in October through Loudon and Fauquier counties. Participants may register for $30 through Sept. 4, for $115 after that date, and must have $150 in donations. Team participants can register for $75 for four riders with the team fundraising goal at $600. The tour begins Oct. 3 at the Great Meadow Foundation According to data released this week by the Virginia Employment Commission, a total of 28,150 people were employed in the county in June, while 1,415 others were actively seeking work. This is a marked decrease from May’s 5.6 percent unemployment, when 27,692 residents were employed and 1,655 residents out of work. For the year, Fauquier County’s unemployment rate peaked in February, with a 7 percent jobless rate — the highest unemployment rate here in over a decade. While economic sun may be shining over Fauquier, neighboring ju, risdictions have hit the doldrums. Neighboring Culpeper County had a 9.4 percent jobless rate. The unemployment rate does not include persons who have given up looking for work or persons on welfare. DeAnn Lineberry of the Virginia Department of Social Services said that her department has seen a steady increase of applicants for the Food Stamps program over the past three years. tt iuic i cvipicutn ui puunv. ttaojo* tance historically include what is termed the “working poor,” according to Ms. Lineberry, her department is seeing more mainstream workers facing financial hardship. “People in the city and county departments have begun to see people with long, steady work histories, people you would never think would be unemployed,” she said. Throughout the state, the jobless rate edged down slightly, falling from 6.9 percent in May to 6.6 percent in June. The nation as a whole fared worse, with the jobless rate climbing from 7.2 percent to 7.8 percent. An additional blow to the nation’s economy came with a report by the Commerce Department on first-time unemployment claims. Last week 469,000 people were added to the nation’s unemployment rolls, up from 400,000 newly-unemployed the week before. Further darkening the employment outlook, the U.S. Postal Service announced that it will decrease it’s management work force by 30,000 over the next few months as a cost-cutting move. The nation’s mail service is trying to fend off a projected $2 billion operating deficit next year, a possible hike in the first-class stamp rate and competition from overnight express carriers. Postmaster Judy Simpson of the Bealeton Post Office said that she did not expect the cutbacks to affect neighborhood post offices. “I don’t see (cutbacks) so much in our local offices,” Ms. Simpson said. “I’m already shorthanded. There aren’t very many of us to start with.” "In the small post offices, we’re working postmasters — we do the same job as our craft employees,” she said. The Department of Economic Development has released its second quarter report, “Economic Development: A Statistical Summary,” indicating that the number of jobs being reported has increased this quarter by 100 percent over the same period in 1991. This represents the creation of 3,768 new jobs for Virginians as a re suit of business expansion and new locations, says the agency. Thirty-nine companies have announced plans to build new facilities or expanded existing operations. This represents a known capital investment of $161 million, up 80 percent from the second quarter of 1991. Cathleen A. Magennis, secretary of Economic Development, welcomed the new information. She said, "These figures signify that positive growth is occurring in the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors of Virginia’s economy.” Seventy-five percent of this employment activity in the second quarter is attributed to the nonmanufacturing sectors, that is, finance, insurance, distribution and headquarters facilities. Northern Virginia Region Xerox Corp. will make a $17 million dollar investment in the building of a new training facility in Loudoun County. Other expansions include a trade association facility and the Nissan Motor Corporation’s new regional office. These facilities will create another 166 new jobs and add an additional investment of $6.3 million to the reirion. Central Virginia Especially noteworthy is the announcement by Ethyl Corp. to establish a new headquarters and research and development facility in Richmond. As a result, $70 million wjM be invested and 200 new jobs wifi be created. An additional benefit of this project is that some of the vacant commercial office space in the Richmond area will be utilized. Another 875 jobs are being created in this region through the establishment of new specialty insurance, technical services and food distribution centers; and the expansion of communication equipment and food production facilities. Hampton Roads Region Household Interantional Inc. is establishing a new credit card operation in Chesapeake and will provide 1,400 new jobs to this region. Another 58 jobs in Hampton Roads are being added through the expansion of a metal recycling facility and the creation of a building products manufacturing operation. Shenandoah Valley Region The Orkand Corp. will provide 500 jobs through the creation of a data entry facility, to create bar codes on mail for the U.S. Postal System. Additionally, 70 new jobs will be created through manufacturing plant expansions totaling more than $3.8 million in investments to this area. Southwest Virginia Region Hoechst Celanese Fibers Co. will invest $37.5 million to expand its current facility in Giles County. .2 Current Indicators » Secretary Magennis reported that “corporate inquiries for community and business site studies have increased 30 percent over 1991 second quarter figures.” Additionally, she noted, “visits to Virginia by prospective clients have increased over 10 percent during the first half of 1992 in comparison to the same period for 1991.

JXappafiannock j&etos 703-675-3338 Midsummer leaf shedding should cause no concern By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Tree lovers sometimes become alarmed when leaves fall from their favorite shade trees in summer. It may seem unnatural for leaves to fall during the active growing season, but many factors can be responsible for trees shedding their leaves in midsummer. Most of them are normal phenomenon which should be no cause for concern. Vigorous, deciduous trees may make too many leaves in spring. When the excess suddenly drops in mid-June, it is a natural adjustment to summer heat and lower soil moisture. This leaf-drop does no damage to healthy trees. During droughts, trees may shed up to 10 percent of their leaves. This benefits the trees as a reduced total leaf area lessens water loss to the air. Loss of 10 percent of the foodmaking capacity does a healthy tree little harm. A tree’s inner leaves and twigs normally drop due to lack of sunlight penetrating the tree’s interior leaving large branches bare near the trunk. “Shade out” caused by a tree’s own branches is generally not harmful to the tree. Two trees may mutually shade out branches on their adjoining sides. As long as both trees live, this may not be noticed, but if one is removed, the other has only dead branches on one side. To avoid this occurrence, when planting trees, space them to let light reach all sides at maturity. Leaves can fall if shaded out by a dense crust of dark fungi called “sooty mold.” The fungi grows in sugary excretions of aphids and scale insects. Once the insects are eliminated, the sooty molds weather away and finally vanish. Leaves may also drop because an insect tunneled in the leafstalk. One example is the maple petiole borer which leaves a very short piece of petiole attached to the leaf blade. This insect affects little foliage, and stops each year about two weeks after it begins. In certain, leaf-spot, fungal diseases such as anthracnose, leaf drop may occur in localized areas after in lection, in the individual leaves bearing infections, “pseudohormones” trigger the leaves to fall as they do in autumn. Even if all the leaves should fall (which is rare), a single attack is usually not fatal to most broad-leaved trees. In a severe case, a fungicide should be used while leaves open next spring to make sure the tree is not weakened by repeated fungal attacks. Leafspot diseases are most abundant after a rainy spring. Tree leaves may drop off after a rapid attack of a fatal disease like Dutch elm disease, or a sudden injury like girdling the trunk of cutting . through many roots for example, when installing a new underground line. A slow attack (over several years), even by a fatal disease like root rot, or a slow-to-appear but fatal injury like root smothering from new fill or pavement, or excess soil compaction, usually leads to many dead branches in the tree top and smaller leaves, but not to a sudden leaf fall. Chemical injury cannot be overlooked. The effects on a tree depend on the chemical, season, temperature, and species among other things. Some chemicals cause discoloration of leaves but not leaf drop. Some cause leaves to drop but do not hurt the rest of the tree, and new leaves come out. Other chemicals can kill trees. Improper use of pesticides and weed control chemicals is one of the major contributors to chemical injury. Air pollution can also cause premature leaf drop in certain species. Clusters of fallen leaves, attached to short twigs, result from a twig-girdling insect or squirrel activity. If an insect is responsible, a shallow depression encircles the broken twig end just inside the bark. If it’s squirrels, the break if diagonal and may have two or three small “steps.” Squirrel activity and most twig-girdling insects do no permanent damage to trees. (Editor's note: Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech. Senior citizens face higher food safety risk BLACKSBURG - Older citizens need to be even more careful about food safety because they face a greater risk from foodborne bacteria according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But unlike the aging process that they can’t do anything about, they can take steps to prevent foodborne illness, said Ann Hertzler, Virginia Cooperative Extension specialist in foods and nutrition. Protect yourself when you eat out, she said. People over 60 are on the go today. In fact, they eat out as frequently as any other segment of the population. They should apply these food safety tips. Never eat raw or undercooked meat, poultry, or seafood. For instant, stake tartare and raw oysters ' are risky. Oysters can contain several dangerous bacteria and viruses. Avoid food with undercooked or raw eggs. That includes Casesar salads, hollandaise sauce, some custards and chocolate mousse. Practice food safety at home. . Use clean utensils, wash your hands before handling food. Keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Thaw frozen food by placing it in the refrigerator, not on the counter. It takes a little longer, but it keeps the food (safe ►Schools From Page A-6 break such a tradition. I hope the clergy in the county will come forward and organize Baccalaureat services for our children.” Dr. Gangel reported that the census done this summer showed 1,600 children between one and 19 years old. This represents a 4.6 percent increase from the census done in 1989. The percentage who are residents in the town of Washington dropped, however, from 3 percent of the total to 1.76 percent of the total. Dr. Gangel said each child counted in the census represents about $1,000 that will come to the school system from state sales taxes over the next three years. Joyce Brown reported that the school Bystem will again receive a grant from the federal government to serve ‘‘at-risk’’ students. Starting in October the schools will receive $136,400 for the first year of a twoyear grant. The schools received funds for this program last year also. Mrs. Brown reported that most of the funds will be used to pay salaries, part of the salaries of guidance counsellors, the salary of a drop-out prevention coordinator, an in-school suspension and alcohol and drug education teacherr, a school social worker and an administrative aide, who will work at both schools. This last is a new position. She said the program targets students who test in the lower 30 percent, children who are at-risk of being substance abusers, sexually active teens, gifted underachievers, drop-outs and those at risk of dropi ping out, students with poor attendance and other categories of children who usually do not do well in school. She said the program has three goals, to reduce drug use by 20 percent, to reduce referrals to juvenile court by 20 percent each year, and to increase involvement of parents and community agencies. Hampton District representative Bryant Lee asked if the school system will have to return the money if the goals aren’t met. Dr. Gangel said they will not have to return the money, and Mrs. Brown said they would have to explain why they had failed. She said, for example, there were more referrals to juvenile court last year because the school system was being more active in trying to prevent truancy. “The focus is prevention,” she said. “The first year we made a lot of dents in the problems. I feel we are supported by the schools and School Board.” Dr. Gangel said he had expected the equipment for Channel One to be put in the high school over the summer. Since nothing has happened so far, he said, it would not be possible to have the program in place at the beginning of school. He said he did not want to start school and then change the schedule. The board voted to put off participating in Channel One until next year. The board adopted a fee schedule for next year. Most of the fees are the same. The cost of a full lunch for high school students will be increased from $1.10 to $1.25. The cost of some high school gym uniform pieces and some books the students keep was increased. The cost of a parking sticker will increase from $16 to $18.

4 generations celebrate LaCava wedding Clear skies provide beautiful backdrop to a special event By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer CASTLETON — It turned out to be an absolutely perfect day. . .just the kind of day to have a wedding, witnessed by family members, good neighbors and close friends. It was a “da/that the Lord hath made” and everyone could “rejoice and be glad in it.” But the weather on the evening before did not promise such a day. One of those violent thunderstorms roared across the usually peaceful Fern Springs Farm dropping over an inch of rain in 10 minutes, levelling the big tent that had been so carefully erected to shelter the large group of guests expected for the wedding reception. The storm with its lightning, strong gusty wind and drenching rain cleared the country air, washed all the leaves and grass and made the whole world new again. And so it was for the bride and groom. Their announcement read: “Helen McCann LaCava and Emerson Wayne Williams invite you to share in the joy when they exchange marriage vows and begin a new life together on Saturday, August first nineteen hundred and ninety-two three o’clock in the afternoon at the Fern Springs Farm, Castleton, Virginia." We knew where Castleton was. We live just across the road from Helen and have enjoyed that rare privilege for over three years. We were greatly relieved to learn that we would not lose our closest neighbor and that the Rappahannock High School would not be losing one of their favorite teachers since Emerson would leave his former home in Pittsburgh and would make Fern Springs Farm his permanent Photo Courtesy of Bob Scott Mr. Williams and Ms. LaCava tied the knot on Aug. 1. home. Wise move, new neighbor. You all know how beautiful the Virginia countryside can be after a good rain with the blue sky and a few white clouds and everything in Nature clean and sparkling. It seemed that way for more than a hundred witnesses to the wedding ceremony, members of two families gathering, old friends and new friends, including faculty associates and current and former students of Helen’s. We’ve all heard a lot of talk lately about “family values.” Well, this was the real thing. . .the values of family, demonstrated by four generations. The wedding ceremony, with the Reverend Jennings Hobson III officiating, was beautifully conducted in the Creator’s own Cathe (iral, under a blue sky ceiling and with afternoon sunshine spreading its blessing over the exchange of marriage vows. The bride’s son, Frank Satterthwaite,. gave the bride away, her daughter, Patti, was matron of honor and Helen’s granddaughter, Megan (age three) served as flower girl. The groom's son, Wayne Williams was the best man and Wayne’s son, Grant (age four) bore the rings to the altar. The audience of witnesses participated enthusiastically with all the ritual responses. For a few hours on the first of August, Castleton was the center of the Universe. The two clans had gathered together from far and wide. The bride’s mother and sister Helen McCann and Pat Muldoon drove down from Philadelphia and Cherry Hill, New Jersey, her daughter, Patti Satterthwaite and husband John Muresianu flew down from Boston, Mass. John’s mother and brother, Louise and Dean Murville, drove out from Washington, D.C., Helen’s son, Frank Satterthwaite with his wife Janet and their two young children, Megan and Eric drove down from Philadelphia, and, to top it all off, Helen’s other son, Tony Satterthwaite with wife Ann and their new baby, Christopher, flew in from England to give the bride a joyful and unexpected surprise. The groom's family was also well represented. His son, Wayne Williams and grandson, Grant flew up from Atlanta, Ga., his brother Joe Williams and sister Elva Alcorn, his nephew Jimmy Williams and wife Judy and a niece Marge Froelich all came down from Pittsburg. The groom’s great-nephew Paul Miller and wife Diane arrived from Twinsburg, Ohio, nephew Joseph E. Williams and wife Linda came from Coropolis, Pa., a niece Elva Jean Neuner from Grafton, Pa. and nephew Grant T. Williams Jr. with his wife Janet from Ingram, Pa. There was a rumor that they all enjoyed the experience so much that they'd like to repeat the reunion each year. The festivities were celebrated with a feast of roast pig, all the spicy steamed crabs and shrimp you could ever want to eat and many many other delicious treats. But by far the best of all good gifts were present everywhere in abundance. . .true friendship, good fellowship and, above all, the priceless gift of love. A friend is gone I would always prefer to write about amusing incidents, ridiculous imaginings and carefree adventures. Life is just not like that so when 1 am sad 1 talk about it. Another friend is gone. A victim of a hereditary illness, drug addiction. We, who have played some part in the struggle to help him, are especially grieving, with his family, at this tragic loss. 1 am going to speak to this sad event generally, not about Adam but about all Adams, or Roberts, or Larrys or Marys. To set the mood, here is a quote from a speech made by Lincoln in 1H42 to a temperance group. ‘‘In my judgement, such of us as have never fallen victims, have been spared more from the absence of appetite, than from any mental or moral supperiority over those who have. Indeed, I believe, if we take drug addicts — as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant, and the warm blooded, to fall into this vice. “The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and generosity. What one of us but can call to mind some dear relative, more promising in youth than all his fellows, who have fallen a sacrifice to his rapacity? He ever seems to have gone forth, like the Egyptian angel of death, commissioned to slay, if not the first, the fairest born of every family." There have been great strides made in the past 20 or so years in the understanding and treatment Day By Day for addictions. There are those who still would scorn and condemn the victims and refuse a to offer a helping hand. There is much left to do. Whenever one of these people die, either accidentaly or intentionally, we who have been involved in their life and had hoped and looked for their recovery have a feeling of guilt. That something more should have been done or done differently; that we should have loved them better. It is probably easier for us who have suffered addiction and recovered to cope with the guilt than do those in the family. We, who have recovered but not know why we were chosen to survive. We just know that through providence or the turn of the cards we have lived and are grateful. We know from experience that some do not survive though they cared and struggled just as much as we, who did. And that is just the way it is. The families of the victims are the ones who bear the burden of grief and guilt that we cannot relieve. (Author's note: / hare substituted "drug addicts" for the original “habitual drunkards.”) Rambling Stone fences in Rappahannock County arc truly works of art. From the dry-laid fences carefully constructed so many years ago to the more formed fences laid with cement, these fences are beautiful to see snaking along the edges of the fields. The most unusual stone fence might be at Black Rock Farm near Huntly. Stone fences in the town of Washington seemed to attract lots of sitters and mid-day conversationalists. Corn is at its most attractive this week. Looking erect, with tassels flying in the breeze, there is a certain military quality to the lines of stalks, like soldiers standing at attention. Streams in Rappahannock have wonderful names. Most curious about who was the big Indian who offered his particular persona to Big Indian Stream in Huntly. Evening mist over the mountains is almost surrealistic. Like something out of a fairy tale, at night everything within range of the mountains seems eerily changed and unfamiliar. Fine furniture featured at show Middle Street Gallery is currently hosting it’s second annual “The Wood Show," a juried and judged exhibition of fine furniture and artworks made primarily of wood.

Bill Millers versatile style audience favorite WARRENTON — Bill Miller will perform at the seventh Bluemont Summer Concert of the 1992 Warrenton season at 7:.'id p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15. Held on the lawn of the Warren Green Hotel in downtown Warrenton, this family concert has a requested admission of $.'1 per person. All are welcome. Since his first Bluemont appearance in 1990, Mr. Miller has dazzled audiences throughout the region. His distinctive music ranges from acoustic ballads to country rock. The enthusiasm and pride with which he performs quickly establishes a unique rapport with audiences of all ages, said Peter Dunning, director of the Bluemont Concert Series. Mr. Miller intersperses his solo jierformances of songs, instrumental pieces on guitar and the native American courting flute with stories of growing up as a native American in this country. His performances are powerful musically in party because of the openness with which he shares both the joys and challenges of his Mohican heritage, Mr. Dunning added. Growing up on the Stockbridge-Munsee Indian Reservation in central Wisconsin, Mr. Miller taught himself to play guitar on a $15 guitar his father gave him when he was 12 and has been playing ever since. Mr. Miller has earned a considerable reputation for his work with young people on Indian reservations and in schools around the country, sharing his art, music and life experiences. The lawn of the old Warren Green Hotel is a beautiful setting to hear a concert. People attending the concerts are encouraged to contribute $2 per person towards the cost of the evening. There is plenty of parking available, and local streets are closed to vehicular traffic during a concert. Families are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chairs and a picnic if they like. Delicious homemade refreshments will be available at intermission prepared by volunteers from the Fauquier Singles Club. There will be special doorprizes at the concert provided by Warrenton businesses. Mr. Miller will be performing this weekend at local nursing homes and hospitals as part of the Bluemont Concert Series community benefit program. These performances continue throughout the year. For more information contact Mr. Dunning at 708-777This performance is the seventh of a series of 10 Warren Green Concerts. The Warren Green Concerts are presented by the Bluemont Concert Series in partnership with the County of Fauquier, the Town of Warrenton and a broad base of businesses, community groups and individuals here in Warrenton.

Lebanon “Revival” means to bring back life, or to impart new health and vigor to something or someone. Many churches schedule annual revivals to restore the spiritual life and vigor of their congregations, or to enliven the regular weekly worship program. Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church will present such a revival Aug. 16-21. Services begin at 7 p.m., Sunday evening, Aug. 16 and at 7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Regular members say it will be “just like old home week,” with Rev. Virgil Wilson returning to preach his sixth revival at Mt. Lebanon, and Keith Wagner returning to sing and lead congregational singing for the fourth time at a Mt. Lebanon revival. The Mt. Lebanon choir and other groups will provide special music each evening. Virgil Wilson is no stranger to this area. His wife, Ruth, is a native of Culpeper County, and their son and daughter-in-law live in Rhoadesville, in Orange County. Rev. Wilson, now in his 40th year of ministry, lives in Fayetteville, N.C. and pastors the Antioch Baptist Church in nearby Falcon, N.C. Since Mt. Lebanon is currently without a pastor, Deacon Chairman Bob Heffem and the entire congregation invite all friends and neighbors to share this spiritual uplift each evening next week. Mt. Lebanon is located on U.S. 522 at Scrabble, two miles south of Woodville.

There are certain tips on ladder climbing that are essential. First, it must be sturdy...built with care from quality materials. Second, it must be set on solid ground, not in "wishy-washy” sand or on wobbly rocks. Third, but very important, it never hurts to have someone dependable holding that ladder so you don’t fall. (Of course, they will also be there if you do!) And so it is with spiritual ’‘climbing''. We must have a sturdy faith set on solid foundation of the regular study of God’s Word. As you climb the steps to the door of God's house this Sabbath, you may feel safe and secure. In Psalms 91:14 is His promise. ‘Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name." By the way, always remember... never look down. You need not, for God is holding your ladder.

Home freezing tips By HELEN W. SMITH Extemtm A«wtH, Horn* Economies Freezing is probably the most popular method of food preservation. Its popularity is probably due to two factors - (1) the ease with which foods can be prepared for freezing, and (2) the fresh flavor of frozen foods. Another plus factor is the convenience of having frozen foods available. To blanch or not to blanch Freezing does not destroy any of the micro-organisms which cause changes in food quality and food safety. Bacterial growth is very slow at freezer temperatures, so food is not apt to spoil in the freezer. There may be loss of quality, however, Changes in the color, flavor and texture of fruits and vegetables can be caused by the enzymes which are responsible for ripening. Vegetables should be blanched before freezing to stop the action of these enzymes. Heating does reduce the number of bacteria, yeast, and molds present, but its principal purpose is to destroy enzymes. Heating also makes vegetables easier to pack into containers. To blanch, lower a small amount of vegetable into boiling water. The ratio of vegetable to water should be such that the water doesn’t stop boiling - a pound of prepared vegetable HOME ECONOMICS to a gallon of water ia a common proportion. The blanching time must be long enough for heat to penetrate the food. As a rule, the larger the piece, the longer the blanching time. Thus the extremes go from 11/2 minutes for green peas to 11 minutes for large ears of cron. Start counting blanching time when food is immersed in boiling water. You may prefer steaming some foods rather than boiling them. The time required for heat penetration is greater for steaming than for blanching. Or partially cooked food. Whether blanched, steamed, or parcooked, it is important to cool the vegetable quickly to stop the cooking process. Plunge the vegetable into ice water for about the same length of time you heated it. Then drain, package, and freeze. For some foods, you may find it more satisfactory to set the containers of food in ice water for cooling. Remember enzymes affect food quality, not food safety. If you use food in a short time or add a lot of seasoning, you may not notice the changes in quality. Or you may have forgotten how the food tasted when fresh. If you are skeptical of the value of heating vegetables before freezing, you might experiment by freezing a few packages without heating. To have a really valid test, prepare a few packages at the same time by heating. This would rule out differences in variety and maturity. Microwave blanching Microwave blanching of vegetables would appear to be a quick, energy efficient method but research designed to test its effectiveness has • not shown it to be especially quick or effective. Some of the drawbacks - only a small amount of food can be handled at a time; the suggested blanching times are very similar to those for water blanching; the vegetable has to be stirred; and finally, tests after storage indicate that conventionally blanched vegetables are of higher quality. Enzymes in fruits Enzymes are active in fruits, too. One obvious example of enzyme action is the darkening of light colored fruits. Blanching fruits to inactivate the enzymes would cause them to have a cooked flavor so we use other methods. One is to keep air (oxygen) away from the pieces of fruit. We do this when we pack fruits in syrup so that air can’t get to individual pieces. Another method of interfering with enzyme activity in fruits is to add ascorbic acid. The enzyme works on the ascorbic acid instead of the fruit. A third method is to add citric acid to make the food more acid. This works because enzymes are less active in an acid medium. Ascorbic acid and citric acid are sometimes combined in commercial products designed to keep fruits from darkening. Packaging materials for freezing Frozen foods maintain high quality if all air is excluded from the package and a moisture-vapor proof seal is achieved. Many different packaging materials are used in the freezer. Some do a better job of keeping the food at the peak of quality than others. What are the marks of a good packaging material? It should be moisture and air tight. No moisture should escape from the package and no outside moisture or air should get into the Prices In this ad are good Wednesday, August 12 thru Tuesday, August 18, 1992.

If moisture escapes from the package, the food product will be drier as a result. Outside air may bring with it off-flavors. It should stand up at freezer temperatures. Some materials like cellophane and waxed paper crack at freezer temperatures, permitting an exchange of air and moisture. Brittle plastic containers and glass jars which have not been heat tempered will sometimes crack at freezer temperatures. It should suit the food. Most fruits and vegetables can be made to fit the container. But the container has to be flexible for meats and baked products. It should be strong. This is especially important when wrapping meat, as the bone may tear a hole in the wrapping. Some people like packaging materials which can be reused. Certainly, you could afford to pay more for a container that you were going to use several times. None of the papers are reuseable. Glass and plastic containers can be reused. Waxed cartons should be interlined with a plastic bag if they are reused. If glass jars are used in the freezer, it is imperative to leave headspace to accommodate the expansion of food on freezing. If plastic containers are overfilled, the bulging food will force the lid up. The lid on a glass jar can’t be pushed up in this way to release pressure, so the jar may break instead. The freezing process Foods don’t become solidly frozen as soon as you put them into the freezer - in fact, that may take up to 72 hours in a home freezer. There are three stages in the freezing process. First the %MI is cooled to freezing; then ice crystals form. Ice crOnfl/zk sk water at 32 degrees F. (0 degrees C), but the freezing point of food varies from product to product. Sugar and salt lower the freezing point - the more sugar or salt used, the lower the freezing point. Most foods freeze in the temperature range of 25 to 31 degrees F. (-4 degrees to -0.5 degrees C). The final stage is lowering the temperature of the food to 0 degrees F. for storage. Luxury or wise investment In addition to freezing fresh fruits and vegetables while they are in season people utilize their freezers for other foods. But, do you utilize it as efficiently as possible? Ask yourself, “Is my home freezer a luxury or a wise investment?” The answer depends on how it is used. If you plan ahead a freezer helps you put together a variety of meals, avoid last minute dashes to the store, take advantage of sales, do holiday baking in advance, and, of course, allows you to eat produce from your garden year-round. On the other hand, the freezer in some people’s homes does little more than gobble electricity. To get the most from a freezer, follow these tips: Use it. If it is there, don’t let it sit half empty. A freezer operates more efficiently if it is full. Freeze only top-quality foods. The end product can be no better than the food which was originally put into the freezer. Keep careful records. Know what is in the freezer, and label all packages. Use the oldest foods first. Keep a list outside the freezer, so you don’t have to stand there with the door open trying to figure out what to take out. If the unit isn’t frost free, make sure it is defrosted once or twice a year. Know what freezes well and what does not. For example, lettuce, tomatoes, radishes and onion will not be fresh and crisp when thawed, but they can be used in casseroles. Fresh cuts of beef, chicken and pork freezes well, but bologna, processed luncheon meats and canned hams are not good candidates. Butter, breads and unfrosted cake layers can be kept for months as long as they are wrapped in air-tight containers to prevent dehydration. Keep the freezer full. This is the most important tip to remember. A freezer can’t possibly be economical if it isn’t being used.

Use electricity wisely When summer temperatures start to rise, keeping cool is easy if you use a little common “enery” sense around your home. Potomac Edison’s Blue Ridge Area Manager Harry Saufley says summer is a good time to conserve energy in and around your home. One of the most effective ways to reduce energy consumption is by increasing the thermostat on your air conditioner. “We recommend that customers increase air conditioner thermostats to between 78 degrees and 80 degrees or higher and turn off the air conditioner and take advantage of cool evening breezes,” says Mr. Saufley. “Closing blinds and draperies helps block out the sun during the day. Opening blinds and windows at night lets the cool air in. Mr. Saufley advises that closing off rooms that do not need to be air conditioned can help conserve energy, too. Here are a few more helpful tips for having a cool and energy efficient summer: Around the house: • Do household chores which require water or produce heat during the coolest time of the day - early morning or late evening; • Be sure air conditioning filters are clean; • Take short showers instead of baths and install flow restricting showerheads and sink aerators; • Repair leaky faucets; • Use fluorescent and energy-efficient lights wherever possible; • Turn off lights not necessary for security or safety. This conserves energy and makes your home cooler. In the kitchen: • Cook outside on the grill whenever possible. Not only is this a tasty idea, but it keeps the kitchen cool and saves energy; • Resist the urge to sneak a peek at food while it’s cooking. Use timers to tell you when the food is ready; • Turn off oven or surface units during the last 5 minutes of cooking time and start foods on high and reduce cooking temperatures to low or simmer to finish cooking; • Wash fiill loads of dishes, using a dishwasher is available. (A dishwasher uses up to 43 percent less water than hand washing dishes.) Also, let dishes air dry. Use the energy-saver switch on your dishwasher or open the door after the final rinse and turn the control to “off;" • Use small appliances and a microwave oven to prepare meals or warm food whenever possible; • Reduce opening refrigerator and freezer doors. Try placing cool drinks in a thermos and ice in an ice bucket for between-meal drinks; • Avoid placing steaming foods into the refrigerator. In the laundry: • Wash only fiill loads of clothes, using cool or warm water to wash and cold water to rinse; • Avoid pre-rinsing. Pre-rinses use up to 70 percent more water; • Dry consecutive loads to take advantage of retained heat. Make sure the lint filter is clean in the washer and dryer; • Do all your ironing at one time and turn the iron off before the last few items are ironed. Retained heat will finish the last items. For more information on saving energy year-round, call a Potomac Edison service representative at 1800-654-3317 and ask for a copy of the helpful brochure, “Use Electricity Wisely.” Prices announced for State Fair The State Fair of Virginia, which runs Sept. 24-Oct. 4 on Strawberry Hill in Richmond, has announced that this year, fairgoers can choose their own ticket prices, ranging from $7 for a walk around ticket during the week to a $14 superticket on the weekends.

Ten free dogwoods Ten free white flowering dogwood trees will be given to each person who joins The National Arbor Day Foundation during August 1992. The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation’s Trees for America campaign. “The white flowering dogwoods will add year-round beauty to your home and neighborhood,” John Rosenow, the Foundation’s executive director, said. “Dogwoods have showy spring flowers, scarlet autumn foliage, and red berries which attract songbirds all winter.” The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting between Oct. 15 and Dec. 10 with enclosed planting instructions. The six to 12 inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. Members also receive a subscription to the Foundation’s news magazine, Arbor Day, which includes regular features about tree planting and care. To become a member of the Foundation and to receive the free trees, send a $10 membership contribution to Ten Dogwoods, National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, Neb. 68410, by Aug. 31. 1 Short-Term Rates Are At A 20-Year Low! “What Should The Prudent Investor Do?” With Short-Term rates at their lowest levels in years, conservative investors who rely on monthly income face a tough decision.
