There will be 12 new teachers and one teacher who has been part time will become full time. The major obvious change at the high school is the new bus entrance. The entrance to the west has been eliminated as part of the project to widen U.S. 522-211 to four lanes. All trafic will enter and exit from the former^ east entrance. There is an S-shaped turn around for the buses to bring them to the front of the building. School Principal John Toth and assistant principal Larry Carter are making plans to try to prevent hold ups at the entrance.

At a meeting with four members of the WSA, County Administrator John McCarthy, County Attorney Peter Luke, and Mike Kenna from Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper, in attorney Douglas Baumgardner’s office last Wednesday the SWCB representatives also recommended that the authority agree to a list of other requirements, chiefly for more detailed record keeping. April Young and Lyle Collier from the northern regional office of the SWCB started the meeting by showing slides taken during their inspections of the plant on June 3 and July 7. The slides showed the outflow from the plant going into the Thornton River. ‘This shows a clear trail of solids, activated sludge from the improper operation of the plant," Ms. Young said. “There was a dis tinctive odor of raw sewage all the way through the plant. It was indicative of a plant that had no attention' for a good period of time.” They also went over a lab report indicating that results from lab work' done by a company in Charlottesville! on samples presumably taken from, the plant were not reported correctly on the discharge monitoring report sent to the SWCB by the plant operator. “What is your view of the response of the Authority since these violations were shown?” Mr. McCarthy asked the SWCB representatives. Ms. Young said she and Ms. Collier had made several inspections of the plant since the July visit including one before the meeting on the 19th. She said there were more reports that would be required, but “once I made Mr. Swindler aware of the problems, things turned around quickly.” Kathleen O’Connell, from the SWCB enforcement office in Richmond, said, “I hope this has given See WSA, PageA-3 Planning Commission accepts design for commercial zoning By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Planning Commission accepted the plan and design guidelines for the general commercial zone located along U.S. 522-211 between Washington and Sperryville at last Wednesday’s meeting. County Administrator John McCarthy explained that this plan is the first of several the planners and Board of Supervisors want to have developed. The county hopes next to develop area plans for each of the village areas in the county. Along the north side of U.S. 522211 the general commercial area runs for about sixth-tenths of a mile from Wolf Mountain Traders on the east to the Faith Mountain mail order business on the west. The designated area is shorter on the south side, running from a point across from Wolf Mountain Traders to Route 636, the road leading to the county elementary school, a distance of about a quarter of a mile. The plan is designed to prevent the area from developing as a narrow strip of commercial sites along the highway. On both sides the area designated for future commercial Commercial j area plan j use is about a third of a mile deep. The plan calls for future secondary roads to be built on both sides to serve the land parcels back from the highway. The design guidelines call for limiting the entrances onto U.S. 522-211 to those already existing and others at crossover points along the Rappahannock News Graphi* John Bretschneider four-lane highway. Mr. McCarthy said the plan will be written as an “overlay district” to the existing zoning ordinance. No properties will be rezoned as a result of adopting this plan, but if landownSee Zone, Page A-5 Old Rag Bulletins Hunter safety course A hunter safety course will be held 1 p.m. -6 p.m. on Aug. 29 and 30 at Castleton fire hall.

The project has been in the planning process for decades, but only became an active and viable plan in the last four years. ^ In 1935, the town of Washington developed its first officiakwater system which consisted of approximately 200 feet of galvinized pipe buried under the streets to distribute the water. These pipes were fed from a healthy spring on Jenkins Mountain. A reservoir was built at the same time and the old well in front of the Courthouse that had supplied the town for many years was put into retirement. The water was clean and tasted good and for years the system worked fairly well until the late ’40s and early ’50s when it was determined there was too much demand on the system and two additional wells were developed at the end of Piedmont Avenue. As early as 1955, however, the iron pipes had begun to show signs of wear and were springing small pinhole leaks due (o the soil chemistry which was corroding the outside of the pipes. In 1980 the spring and the wells dried up due to drought and for several months the town was dependent on water that was trucked in from Orange. This difficult period was the catalyst for a new well that was developed near Harris Hollow. This well far exceeded the town’s requirement of 25,000 gallons a day or 24 gallons a minute and, in fact, produced 250 gallons a minute. In addition to the prodigious output, the water quality was excellent. Discussions had begun in the 1950s about replacing the town water system, but the cost was prohibitive See Water, Page A-5 Rappahannock New* Photo by Seen Ferrell Jimmy Carter greets Olusegun Obasanjo, the former Nigerian head of state, at the international conference. : Foundation By JOHN BRETSCHNEIDER Rappahannock N*w» Special Writer 1 WARRENTON — Farmers, scientists and current and former heads of state from around the globe gathered at Airlie House, near Warrenton this weekend for an international workshop on agriculture. < - ■ # The three-day meeting at the Airlie Conference Center was held to find ways of bringing modern farming and food distribution technology to poorer parts of Africa. | In an interview with the Rap pahannock New* and in round ta- i ble discussions during the conference, former President Jimmy Carter and other conferees spoke about war and starvation in Somalia and Kenya and about how basic farming tech- • niques can be adapted and used in ' Africa. $ “There is no way to improve the life of people at war,” Ur.

'H.M.S. Pinafore' is rousing success By DIANA BIRD and LEE BIRD Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer* The lucky audiences who attended “H.M.S. Pinafore” Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, Aug. 22 and 23 in The Theatre at Washington, heard splendid voices and witnessed a rousing, fun-filled performance of this Gilbert and Sullivan favorite. Our little theater echoed to the unamplified, natural beauty of male and female voices of special vigor and freshness. The au. dience responded in kind to the joy the entire cast radiated in performing their parts. While faithful to the spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan, the Interact Theater Company mounted an untraditional performance that displayed the skills and adaptability of director Catherine Flye in a modem interpretation of this late I9th century operetta. Larry Edward Vote, the musical director, brought impressive discipline and sparkle to the well-loved songs and choruses, which were superbly done. Pianist Ron L. Warren performed so well that probably few were mindful that his was the only instrument in the play besides the singers’ voices. It is difficult not to be too enthusiastic about this group’s production. The voices of the leading characters, Scott Benedict, Steve Cramer, Ashley Hancock, Deborah Thurlow and Ralph Cosham were well trained, full, and first rate. The support given them by the 16 additional singers and dancers was lively, diverting and perfectly timed. you a general idea of the problems and why the office of enforcement would consider enforcement action." She said that the SWCB would consider an administrative settlement rather than taking civil action. She said she would consider a payment of $8,000 and agreement to meet other requirements that would be spelled out for an administrative settlement. WSA chairman Gene Leggett From Page A-l lne choreographer, Linda Garner Miller, masterfully adapted the movement and dancing by a company of 20 to our small theater and Evil Dick Deadeye (Bruce Evans) brought humorous melodrama to the plot. Shades of Iago! The star-crossed lovers, Ralph Rackstraw and Josephine, performed by Steve Cramer and Deborah Thurlow respectively, not only sang with considerable eclat, but also displayed remarkable dexterity in their high-jinx and were effective in their comic stage business. Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of Admiralty, played by Ralph Cosham, clowned well as a bumbling bureaucrat, who at one point, having become instantly inebriated from drinking the contents of a flask, made a brilliant exit while unsuccessfully attempting to insert the flask into a hip pocket that wasn’t there. The actors related well to one another. For instance, a fortunetelling scene between the Captain, Scott Benedict, and Little Buttercup was delightfully teasing and paced differently from the rest. Again, when the Captain gently punched Little B on the arm to make a point, Little B punched him right back. No sexual harassment there! Because Ashley Hancock is a man, and a large one, his dress and acting as a female made Little Buttercup’s role especially amusing. The performers’ clarity of diction coupled with our closeness to the actors made the story easy to appreciate and understand. said, “We have common objectives. We are absolutely concerned to have a good running plant and a clean river. You have done a tremendous lot to help us. We were operating without full knowledge of the extent of the problem. Sperryville is not a community of the landed gentry. They are hard working people who have struggled all their lives. ” He said the the budget for the WSA is about $50,000 per year. “Last year we had to increase the rates 10 percent, and it had a lot of impact on this small number of people. We did it because we were determined to have the Authority on a sound financial basis...We do get surprises. The technology changes. Chemicals jumped 25 percent. A negotiated settlement on the small number of people would impact them significantly....What we have done to our budget already will have a tremendous bump on these poor people.” Mr. McCarthy noted that the Authority members are private citizens and not professionals in running sewer plants. “There is no way it is rewarding financially,” he said. “The county expects much of these people, and they responded in as responsible a manner as the county could hope for.” Mr. Baumgardner said, “Sperryville is one of the lower income areas in this region. Imposing a fine, in effect paid by these ratepayers, would mean the SWCB is acting as Robin Hood in reverse.” Ms. O’Connell said she would report the concerns of the WSA and county authorities to others in the SWCB „ enforcement division. She said she would send a list of actions the WSA should take to Mr. Baumgardner’s office. ►Carter From Page A-l the Carter Center,” he said. “A few more than 30 of these conflicts we call major wars, because more than 1,000 people have died in each one.” With the exception of the conflict in former Yugoslavia, which has evolved into an international war, almost all of these conflagrations are civil wars,” Mr. Carter said. “They are largely unrecognized in the industrial world, until the television cameras focus on a few starving children in Somalia, or a few years ago in Ethiopia,” Mr. Carter noted. “The tragedy is that the United Nations — and other international organizations — are precluded by their charters from dealing with civil wars, except in very special mumstances,” he said. Puring his keynote speech, the former president said that movements toward democracy, child immunization programs and an end to war are some of the factors that will help end the suffering in parts of Africa, but that the key to long term success is in helping African countries to be self sufficient and in promoting democratic government. The Airlie workshop was spearheaded by Carter, Ryoichi Sasakawa, a leader of Japan’s shipbuilding industry and Dr. Norman Borlaug, a Nobel Prize laureate and member of President George Bush’s 12-member Council of Advisors for Science and Technology. The Sasakawa Foundation, an international foundation which funded the conference, is also funging agricultural projects in Benin, Togo, West Africa, Tanzania, Nigeria and Ghana, which are bringing modern fanning techniques and heartier seed stocks to their fanners. Among the goals of the Foundation are making African farmers self-sufficient and developing foodhandling and transportation methods that bring the much-needed nutrition to the people that need it most. The program is basically one of technology transfer, assisting smallscale crop farmers to improve their crop yields. Dr. Borlaug, who won the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize for developing improved strains of wheat and rice, held sessions with a number of African agricultural ministers on how to implement basic small-scale farming techniques and post-harvest technology. Since there is no Nobel Prize for agriculture, he was awarded the Peace Prize because of the importance of nutrition in preventing starvation and civil unrest. “It was not just the seed,” Dr. Borlaug said, “but how to grow them, when to plant them, how to plant them, how to fertilize and when to harvest.” Mr. Carter said that few funds have been used for the program and that the funding has been used very efficiently. “Very little money has been spent to bring these 100,000 farmers into a role of being guides for their neighbors,” Mr. Carter said. “They have increased their yields three and four times over — not with technology that involves electronics — Not even with the technology of gasoline or diesel engines,” he said. “There are no small Japanese tractors involved in this program.” Mr. Carter said that the nutsand-bolts of the program include giving African farmers quality seed, a moderate amount of fertilizer and basic instruction on planting in rows, rotating crops, harvesting at the right time and storing the harvest. “That’s it — the response from this, the return on a small investment is enormous,” the former president said. Mr. Carter, himself a farmer in Plains, Ga., has been the only U.S. president to visit the African continent. “The program was begun as an experimental effort and we’ve had some successes and some disappointments,” Mr. Carter said. “It’s been an exciting thing for me as a farmer to see what has been and what can be done.” One of the sad realities of modem day life is that problems can simply become too big to handle without professional help.

P1TNE.B1RPQKE Sunset Lane, Culpeper, Virginia 829-4132 Out of town, (800) 848-3899 Mr. Carter credits Dr. Borlaug’s pioneering efforts in advanced agriculture with helping many African fanners to improve their practices. “The program under Dr. Borlaug in Ghana was so successful that it grew almost without control,” Mr. Carter said. “The first year we had 40 farmers involved, the second year 1,200 farmers, the third year 16,000 and the next year even more,” he said. “The eagerness of, the competence of, the dedication and hard work of the African fanners has been an inspiration.” Olusegun Obasanjo, the former president of Nigeria, a candidate for Secretary General of the United Nations and a farmer, said he was looking for three things to come out of the Airlie conference. “From this conference, I want to go away with ideas of what we are doing right in Africa,” President Obasai\jo said. “What are the policies and the programs that are working for increased production of food.

Blessed with scenic countryside that draws the city folk like flies, Rappahannock is a natural destination for many who want to visit quiet surroundings for the weekend or for their vacations. The quaintness and charm of our small towns offers a quiet reprieve from the hustle and bustle of every day living and a taste of “the way life used to be.” A number of excellent restaurants and of course the Inn at Little Washington have already done their part in drawing visitors as well as the apppoximately 20 to 25 bed and breakfasts that provide the perfect surroundings for people in search of “getting away from it all.” It has long been established that the healthiest way to bolster local business and the tax coffers is to attract good, clean industry. What better means to do that here in the county than to develop an aggresive tourist trade - no factories, no drain on the school system or any of the other services and no hassle for the residents. Weekend visitors leave only their dollars behind. A conservative estimate of those dollars is one to three, one tourist dollar spent generates three in the local economy. Recently the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors and the Warrenton Town Council has come up with $15,000 each to fund local tourism promotion. While this is only a small pittance if a full scale effort is to be launched, it is a step in the right direction. Staunton and surrounding Augusta County invested approximately $70,000 towards tourism in 1989. Today tourists spend about $37 million in Staunton each year. The regional Foothills Association, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection Inc., the Bed and Breakfast Guild and both the Washington and Sperryville business councils already are focused on the importance of tourism in Rappahannock. Obviously another aspect in this scenario that is paramount is preserving our countryside and the unique quality that is Rappahannock County. According to the U.S. Travel Data Center, in 1988 Rappahannock County’s total travel expenditures amounted to $4,182,000. Its travel generated payroll came to $603,000 and the number of travel-generated jobs came to 48. State tax receipts relating to tourism came to $51,000 and local tax / receipts came to $22,000. The bottom line: travel means business, jobs and tax revenue. The last several years havejtaught us what hard economic times really mean. Jurisdictions all over the state have suffered with budget deficits. This is a time when rural counties all over the state must be looking to their economic futures. Rappahannock should also be thinking ahead. According to the Courthouse Cat ‘Seems like there is a lot of politicking going on around town these days. Last week a Democrat, this week a Republican. I’m no expert but somehow those guys all sound the same to me, talking about changing things and cutting taxes. Who’s a cat supposed tp believe? — Calvin (Editor’s note: Calvin’s opinions do not reflect any individual opinions outside of this newspaper.) Rappahannock Heritage Wild grapes are ready for picking in a field in Washington. Answers from REC urged To the Editor: It’s time for members of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) to press the board of directors and management for real answers about the pending 7.6 percent increase in electric rates. In recent issues of “Rural Living,” REC has presented pages and pages of color pictures about safety training, flowers around substations, yard sales, quail habitats, squirrels causing power outages and blueberries. Not one article concerning a single cost-cutting initiative implemented by REC to help its members survive in today’s economy. REC’s June announcement of the rate increase claimed that details were not available until after the State Corporation Commission (SCC) reviewed the request. Not true! The rate increase had been planned for more than a year. In fact, REC’s president and both vice presidents met with the SCC staff Oct. 12, 1991, to discuss the rate case. The 1992 budget, including the 7.6 percent rate increase, was adopted by the board Nov. 20, 1991. Furthermore, the board approved a $17,000 cost-ofservice study pertaining to the rate case on Dec. 18,1991. REC’s president states that the cooperative’s last rate increase was in 1984. But he fails to point out that REC’s rates are near the highest in the state even before this rate increase was filed. Even though revenues have increased annually, uncontrolled spending has put REC in such a poor financial position that no “patronage” refunds have been made to members in the past two years. According to REC’s chairman and president in the 1992 annual report, “We added 2,300 new services, a substantial number though less than in previous years.” Two paragraphs later they say, “The operating margins in 1990 were $4,630,912. In 1991, the figure was $1,165,030. This variance is primary Uy a result of our growth.” Where’s the logic? Here are a few documented expenditures that do not appear in REC’s annual report but did contribute to the need for higher electric rates: A new $1.5 million building in Fredericksburg, $1.5 million spent on a computerized mapping system, $286,000 allocated for the directors’ retirement (December 1990), the president’s salary increased to $91,000, a 20 percent increase in its attorney’s monthly retainer and 14 percent in his hourly rate, $60,000 to purchase land from a board member, $37,000 for employee exercise equipment, $40,000 for a strategic planning study, $6,000 toward annual political action committee dinner for employees and, according to Rural Electrification Administration statistics, REC has one of the highest employee-to-consumer ratios in the country. Cooperative members have been asked to mail in their proxies for the 1992 annual meeting. A word of caution and to paraphrase the Miranda Act: “Your proxy can and will be used against you during the annual membership meeting.” Two cases in point. At the 1990 annual meeting, the board of directors voted nearly 8,900 proxies to reverse a motion overwhelmingly passed by members in attendance to allow use of a mail ballot to elect directors. During the 1991 annual meeting, the board voted more than 8,700 proxies to re-elect a fellow board member whose personal REC electric account had grown to $1,765 without one penny being paid in six months! REC’s recent arrogance and lack of interest in its membership can best be summarized by a quotation in a confidential memo from Frank Andrews, Culpeper district manager, to his staff, “Perhaps we should stay away from explanations on how we do things.” I can only suggest that all REC members seek more information from the board and management before reaching deeper into their pockets to pay an unjustified increase in electric rates. Since the possibility of receiving meaningful answers are slim, the best option would be to write to the Attorney General’s Office in opposition to higher rates. It’s your choice!

Food Bank says thanks To the Editor: The need for food is increasing. Everyone at the Food Bank is working hard to keep up, but we are never too busy to express appreciation to our friends. Your past support has enabled us to grow and provide food for many more people in need. Thank you for your confidence and trust in the Food Bank program and concern for the hungry. The estimated retail value of the food we distributed locally in 1991 by branch location was: Winchester $2,067,507, Charlottesville $1,788,141, Lynchburg $2,269,962, and Verona $2,388,361 for a grand total of $8,513,972. These valuations are based on the food industry average retail food price of $2.17 per pound. This translates to millions of nutritious meals for our hungry neighbors. None of this would have been possible without your help. On behalf of our volunteers, staff, board of directors and, most importantly, those you have provided for, we just want to say a heartfelt thank you for your faithful support. We need your continuing support and hope that you will include the Food Bank in your giving plans for the balance of 1992 and beyond. PHIL GRASTY Executive director Literacy has patience To the Editor: September is National Literacy Month. It’s a good time to take a look at the goals our national leaders have set. With all the talk about Workplace 2,000 and the need to have better educated workers, the stated objectives of 100 percent literacy before that date is unrealistic. Research has shown that it takes about 70 hours of direct one-to-one instruction to move a motivated adult ahead one grade level. Spread out over one-hour sessions twice a '’ week and leaving some leeway for schedule conflicts, that can take nearly a year. Real life demands patience. As " worthy as the Workplace 2,000 goal is, too many other areas of life de- 1 mand time and attention. Mostadults have many obligations. If" their starting level is low, and they1' miss tutoring sessions because of ill- 1 ness, shift changes, or personal problems, reaching functional literacy may be a slow process. If it’s too slow, the student often becomes dis- 1 couraged and drops out. Encourage and support anyone - you know who is trying to upgrade ' skills. It’s hard and is something ' that nobody should have to do with- ' out help. Free regional adult educa- ** tion is available in many subjects. Piedmont Technical Education Center (703-825-0476) serves Rappahan-' nock and three other nearby * counties. Local literacy councils throughout the area offer free tutoring for adults. (The Literacy Volunteers of Rappahannock County can be" reached by calling Lee Bird at 6753263.) These groups don’t expect universal literacy within eight years. They, unlike the Workplace 2,000 visionaries, are realists, but this hasn’t dampened their optimism for the same goal - they’ve simply extended the deadline. PATRICIA BRUMMETT , Culpeper , MARIJUANA FOUND GROWING IN RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY DONT BREATHS 1N\ ANY OF THAT SMOKE" YOU’RE IN ENOUGH TROUBLE GROWING

►Water From Pace A-l and for years the project never got beyond the discussion phase. ■ However, approximately four uears ago an aggressive town council took the bull by the horns and began to research funding for the project. The leaking pipes were causing more difficulties ail the time and the system only had one main shut-off v$lve, which meant when there was a break in the line, the whole system had to be shut down. ;■ Even though supplementary valves were added, the system was wearing out and the town council decided, alter the Farmers Home Adrrtinistration came up with a grant loan program, to start the design phase of the new system. Brad Fisher, Washington’s treasurer since the late 1970s, has been at the helm of the project since its inception. Having worked for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission for a number of years, he was well qualified for the position. According to Mr. Fisher, the project was costed out at $1.1 million. The FmHA said it could give them around $700,000, 50 percent of which would be as a grant and 50 percent as a five percent loan. , The project was broken down into three phases: source development and treatment system, distribution system and a large storage facility. “The distribution system was our main problem,” said Mr. Fisher, “because it had gotten to the point where it was costing us $12,000 to $14,000 a year to repair it.” “We realized that things had gotten so bad that it was costing us ►Zone From Page A-l ere inside the overlay zone want commercial zoning in the future, they will have to “buy into this plan,” Mr. McCarthy said. “This will have the least impact on the present day owners and the least impact on the community,” Mr. McCarthy said. “It gives us better leverage in the face of applications.” He said the plan and design guidelines will next be written as amendments to the zoning ordinance and advertised for public hearings by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Hie design guidelines could also be applied to other general commercial areas if the county feels more are needed in the future, he said. The plan calls for plantings around any future commercial uses of the land to screen the area from surrounding agricultural zones. Buildings should be a minimum of 100 feet from the right-of-way of U.S. 522-211, 75 feet from areas outside the general commercial zone and 50 feet from any private or secondary roads. Parking should be shaded and in small lots serving 20 of fewer care. Buildings within 500 feet of the fourlane highway are limited to 35 feet. Utilities are to be burned underground. The guidelines discourage clearing large areas and recommend following existing topography. Two small streams in the area are to be protected from development. Chairman Allen Stokes asked about plans for water and sewer service to the area. Mr. McCarthy said that water is not a problem in the area, and plans call for septic systems. However, he noted that the sewage systems at both schools are having problems. He said if it becomes necessary to invest public See Zone, Page A-6 more to fix the system that it would cost us to replace it,” he added. Another problem was the loss of the town’s fire insurance rating because the system could not produce enough flow out of the hydrants at the right pressure to meet the requirements. However, said Mr. Fisher, before the distribution system could be addressed, the town had to satisfy the Health Department’s regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which required treatment for removing the iron manganese from the water and adjusting the pH factor. “The iron'manganese is the element that leaves stains and gives the water a peculiar taste occasionally,” said Mr. Fisher. “We designed what is called a green sand filter, that, after the water runs through it, will remove the iron manganese.” Mr. Fisher estimates the cost of the treatment center at around $25,000. In addition to this cost the Virginia Water Works regulations require that the system must have two sources and before the town could address the pressing problem of the distribution system, another well had to be developed. This past spring, the new well was dug next to the well that was developed in 1980. “We did a draw down test on both wells at the same time and they could both draw 200 gallons a minute without pulling down the source,” explained Mr. Fisher. Even though the state would have preferred different aquifers for the two wells, the impressive test results proved that this particular aquifer was more than adequate. According to Mr. Fisher, the well that was dug in 1980 cost around $5,000 and the one dug this year, approximately $10,000. The next step, which is eminent, will be illicting bids for the treatment plant, which will be built at the well sight, and the distribution system. “The state has approved the treatment center,” said Mr. Fisher. “FmHA also has to approve all phases as well since they are funding most of it,” he added. Mr. Fisher said that the Town Council hopes to cut the cost down from $1.1 million by possibly not finishing the entire project right away. An additional reservoir that is in the works could very well be put on hold for a while. “The reservoir that was put in 30s has 100,000 gallon-capacity and is still in good shape,” pointed out Mr. Fisher. “The second reservoir is designed more for fire capacity than actual need.” ‘Town residents pay higher rates for fire insurance because we don’t have the proper rating,” he said. “After the new system is put in, the rates will come down. This plus the fact that people will have a proper water system to depend on at last. ” The numerous difficulties the town water system has had over the years has promoted various rumors about town water, which, said Mr. Fisher, are completely unfounded. One such rumor that has circulated has been that the many holes in the pipes have been a means for sewage to filter into the town water. “This is really ridiculous,” said Mr. Fisher. “It’s true that there are a number of pinholes in the pipes, but it is a pressurized system. The only time you can get infiltration is when you have negative pressure so the water can flow into the pipes. Also the drain fields and water lines don’t come anywhere near each other.” “We also check the water for bacteria on a monthly basis,” he added. Mr. Fisher estimates that the installation of the distribution system will take any where from two to four months. “Once the bids are returned,” he said, ‘we will be in the construction phase within a month.” School Fee Day Sept. 3 Again this year, the RCES faculty and staff will team up with the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) to hold a combined “Fee Day/Back to School Day.” This will be held on Thursday, Sept. 3, and the schedule is as follows: • 2-2:15 p.m. - Assembly for all parents and students in the RCES multi-purpose room. This will be a brief informational meeting. • 2:15-5 p.m. - Parents and students will visit classrooms to meet teachers. Each teacher will present information and answer questions about the upcoming year’s classes. They will also distribute textbook rental forms. Parents will then go to the cafeteria to pay fees and pick up additional information. • 5-6 p.m. - Dinner break for RCES faculty and staff. • 6-6:15 p.m. - Assembly in multi-purpose room (repeat of assembly conducted in the afternoon). • 6:15-8 p.m. - Parents and students visit classrooms to meet teachers, pay fees in cafeteria and pick up information (repeat of afternoon activities). Representatives from various organizations, including the soccer league, scouts, and seventh grade field trip fund, will be present to conduct sign-ups and/or fundraising. A reminder to parents: In past years the longest lines have been from 2-3 p.m. at Rappahannock High School. It seems that many people want to get at the front of the line before the crowd arrives. We ask our parents and students to be patient since as many as 394 students may ask to be processed during these hours. We will be unable to make schedule changes on Fee Day. 17™ VIRGINIA WINE FESTIVAL FUN FOR ALL!

-Changes From Page A-l o let off students must move on to he back parking area so the bus urn' around does not become docked. Spanish has been taught to elmentary students for several fears. Last year it was brought to le high school with one section of Spanish I. This year there will be hree sections of Spanish I and two tections of Spanish II. Spanish teacher Liz Blubaugh will be teaching nil time. She will also be teaching Spanish for two sixth and seventh graders for a semester at each grade evel. As Spanish has picked up, Latin ind French enrollment has dropped. Last year there was one section each jf Latin I, Latin II, and Latin III. rhese classes were offered through the electronic classroom on television. This year there are three students signed up for Latin II, but none for Latin I or Latin III. Principal Toth expects Latin to end aft4r this year, but he said the equipment purchased through bonds for the electronic classroom will continue to receive heavy use. Librarian Beth Scott tapes many programs received from the satellite for classroom use, and the fax machine is used daily. This year there is only one sec tion of French I. French teacher Cynthia Wayland will also be teaching two sections of French II, one section of French III, and one section of French IV-V. In order not to lose her future students Mrs. Wayland will also be teaching at the elementary school, offering a semester of French culture and language to sixth and seventh graders. Besides the Spanish, new classes at the high school will be one semester of international relations and one semester of creative writing. To offer these new courses, the classes in drama and humanities will be one semester courses rather than full year courses as they have been in the past. Most of the high school faculty is unchanged, but there will be a new home economics teacher and two new teachers for special education. On the sports field, soccer will become a spring sport. Mr. Carter said he already has eight games scheduled and hopes to schedule four more. The school system is looking for a coach for the soccer team. Tim Corder has his cross country team practicing already, and Mike Tupper and David van de Graaff are jointly coaching the girls varsity and junior varsity basketball teams. At the elementary school, besides the introduction of French in sixth and seventh grade, the major change in curriculum will be teaching fourth graders computer keyboarding. Twelve computers have been put in one of the fourth-grade classrooms. More will be coming. At the beginning of the year, Principal David Smith expects the fourth graders to begin learning the computer keyboard. With only 12 computers, he expects to try to work something out so the children can work two to a computer. By spring, he expects one classroom to be equipped with a computer built into each desk and the three fourth-grade classes rotating in and out of that classroom so all the students will be exposed to computer learning. The RJR/Nabisco grant is funding work on computerized learning. Mr. Smith said the team working on the project has not yet dicided what course to teach on computers first. The classroom that has been used for art and music will be a regular second grade classroom this year. This means that art will be taught by several teachers coming into the classrooms for instruction. Mr. Smith said it should also be possible sometimes, for the art classes to use the stage for large projects when the stage isn’t used for other activities. One of the modular units will continue to be used for music. Band for fifth through seventh graders will be taught there as well as general music for kindergartners through fourth graders. However the upper grade chorus and general music classes, like art, will be taught by a teacher coming into the classroom. There will be nine new teachers at the elementary school this year. There will be two new teaehers in second grade, two in third grade, two in fourth grade and one in sixth grade. Christine Jenkins, who taught seventh grade last year, will . be teaching fifth this year. Also there will be a new remedial reading teacher and a new part-time speech therapist. About half way through the year last year, the school system added another bus to the fleet. The additional bus picked up a handicapped student in Chester Gap and a few additional students. This year a full extra bus route has been added to serve the Chester Gap to Huntly area and another new route will serve students in the Amissville area. This will bring the number of regular bus routes to 20 from 18 at the beginning of last year. The school system has hired a consultant to look into future space needs. He has been working at both schools, but particularly at the elementary school. His report is expected by the end of September. With teachers reporting to work this week, the school system is preparing for the new year and preparing to look carefully at enrollment figures to find out what future trends in enrollment are likely to be. “ By SHARON KILPATRICK m FOOD LION 3/$I 3/$l 10 Oz. rexas Pete Chili !§SBj3|Lx6 Oz.Cut/ French Style Food Lion BeansJ SHELLS Prices in this ad good Wednesday.

The fall 1992 season brings several changes to the structure of the League. The most traumatic change is that the League’s founder and commissioner is retiring after five successful seasons. Vinnie Carney’s presence and guidance will be sorely missed by everyone who has had any affiliation with the League. The League must now find an individual, or individuals who are willing to assume the responsibility of this position. Another major change the League faces is the addition of high school age players. The high school season has been moved from the fall to the spring. The high school age players are extremely enthusiastic, and are depending on the League to provide them with the opportunity to play soccer this fall. Registration for the fall soccer season is scheduled for Fee Day Sept. 3, as in the past tables will be set up at the elementary school, and this year also at the high school. The League is looking for volunteers to accomplish many tasks. Among the positions which need to be filled are, coaches, referees, equipment handlers, grounds keepers, fund raisers. Actually the list of tasks which need to be accomplished are seemingly endless. If you or anyone you know can help please call Anne Kerr 937-5483 or Susan Parrish 675-3175.

• Real Estate • Classifieds County composer Carl Coon creates his music on the Mac • / By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer His favorite composer, Ludwig Beethoven, would certainly “roll over^as the popular song goes, if he could see Rappahannock composer, Carl Coon, at work. Tucked away in his studio in the woods, a few yards from his home, Mr. Coon, writes his music on a Macintosh computer. Modern technology merges with - the creative process and the result is a written score that is can be either played on the two synthesizers that are connected to the computer or actually printed out in written form. “These synthesizers are pretty good at replicating various instruments,” said Mr. Coon, who also uses an electric piano,'which is wired into the synthesizers and sound system, to “help verify what my head is doing.” Mr. Coon’s lifetime passion for music is culminating on Sept. 5 at The Theatre in Washington, where his concert, Rappahannock Variations, String Quartet 1988/89 and other pieces will be played by by live performers, the Sunrise Quartet, Trapezoid and guest artists Lora Ferguson on clarinet, John McGuinn on piano and soprano Lisa Johnson. While his music is composed in the western classical tradition, Mr. Coon has written many of his compositions inspired by his friends and the instruments they play, such as vTwo Studies for Two Harps” and “For Joyce: Study for Two Alto Recorders.” ' He also intellects his acute sense of humor into his music through such compositions as “Limerick” which contrasts human and electronic mu$ic. “Rappahannock Variations: Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano” was written orginially in 1990 designed for the piano, four hands. According to Mr. Coon, it relies on counterpoint more than harmony and uses'three ax' four different pentatonic scales. Mr. Coon describes “String Quartet 1988/89” as his most series work to date. “The quartet’s structure can best be described in terms of psychological stages an individual goes through after receiving sudden and devastating news.initial shock is followed by acute pain and grief tinged with passing shades of anger and denial,” explained Mr. Coon. Mr. Coon’s music has been greatly influenced by, first of all, Ludwig Beethoven and Alan Hovhaness, an Armenian-American composer, whose music, said Mr. Coon, pioneeered the incorporation of nonwestern structures into a classical western musical framework. Also playing a part in Mr, Coon’s musical history has been Rappahan Photo Courtesy of C«rl Coon Mr. Coon composes music in the western classical tradition. nock’s Paul Reisler and Bob Read, who, said Mr. Coon, helped to broaden his musical vocabularly, particularly with non-western rhythms. Mr. Coon moved here with his wife Jane in 1985 to finally settle in one place after years of traveling the world as a diplomat. His brother-inlaw, Richard Abell, already lived here and his son, Howard and his family moved here shortly thereafter. Bom in 1927 in Boston, Mass., he went in the foreign service immediately after graduating from college. For over 35 years he occupied increasingly important posts in the State Department and embassies and consulates abroad, most notably in Morocco, Syria, Iran, India and Nepal. His last overseas assignment from 1981 to 1984, he served as the Ambassador to Nepal. Jane Coon has also enjoyed an impressive career in the foreign service and at one point, while Mr. Coon was the Ambassador to Nepal, she was appointed as the Ambassador to Bangladesh. “We had the first double ambassadorship held by career officers,” said Mr. Coon. It was after this last assigment that Mr. Coon decided it was time to get going with his music, which has always been his first love. “I think that during the 1950s and the 1960s, I singlehandedly kept Sam Goody’s mail-order record store in the black,” said Mr. Coon. “I have collected recordings of just about all the music written in the western classical tradition that I consider worth having and a good bit more,” he added. It wasn’t until 1946 that Mr. Coon began to study seriously. “I was really ready to learn at that point,” said Mr. Coon, "I literally absorbed everything I could.” Mr. Coon, who belongs to the Capital Composer’s Association in Washington, D.C., said that his music is most definitely his business, although maybe not a greatly profitable one at this point. The upcoming concert will be his first although he has had a number of musicales at his home and some of his music has been performed on various occasions. Mr. Coon holds to the “old musical traditions” in that he feels there is a lot . of contemporary music “that no one listens to because no one likes it.” “Music is very close to language,” he said, “and there is a huge confusion going on these days with the explosion of information, instant communication and so forth.” “A lot of people are struggling with new ways of saying things. Humanity has gotten mighty confused in the 20th century with so many rapid changes,” he said. “This confusion has led into all sorts of innovative new departures in music as well as anything else.” “Music today often fails to communicate with people,” he added. The upcoming concert will be cosponsored by Ki Theater and RAAC.“This has been an extremely busy time,” said Mr. Coon, but very exciting,” said Mr. Coon. Roundabout 'Where Angels Fear to Tread' ts movie “Where Angels Fear to Tread,” rated PG, starring Helen Mirren, Giovanni Guidelli, Judy Davis, Barbara Jefford,- Helena Bonham Carter and Rupert Graves will be shown at The Theatre at Washington, Va. on Sunday, the weekly RAAC-sponsored movie.

Quilters and owners of quilts who live within 75 miles of Front Royal are invited to enter. Entry forms are due by Monday, Sept. 21. Information and entry forms may be obtained by calling Anne Davis at 703-364-1572 or writing Route 1, Box 87-B, Markham, Va., 22643. An exciting part of this show will be the Hoffman Challenge Exhibit of 50 small quilts. The Hoffman Challenge is well known to most quilters and uses fabrics from the Hoffman collection. The proceeds from the Neighborhood Quilt Show will be used to benefit the Linden Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad. Rambling round Rappahannock Fodderstack Road is one of Rappahannock’s most scenic drives. Lawns are beautifully kept, gardens carefully designed and bams are spruced up in their best “bam red." One particular bam is painted black and is festooned with old farming tools and horseshoes, painted red. An adjacent picnic table is painted to match the color scheme and the overall effect is quite cheerful. Rappahannock has few flat surfaces or straight roads to follow for any length of time. Interestingly the twists and turns of the narrow roads do not seem to slow down the motorists, who frequently drive at an alarming pace. The Flint Hill Store has a corner on just about every consumer need. Whether it’s a ham sandwich, a bag of charcoal, teapot, ice cream, transmission and motor oil or a hose, chopped sirloin or a bag of potatoes that you need, the Flint Hill Store can fix you right up. Farmers are picking up their second cutting of hay which will be a bountiful one this year. The rows of cut hay are are so neat and tidy, they look like they have been swept with a broom. A step back in time Blue Ridge area finds voice in George Freeman Pollock By BARBARA STEWART Rappahannock News Contributing Writer (Editor’s note: This article is the second of three about the history of the Shenendoah National Park.) The earliest mention of creating a national park in the mountains of Virginia comes not from Federal documents. A Front Royal area businessman, Hugh Naylor, was trying to build interest in the idea as early as 1915. Mr. Naylor had an eye on the travel industry. Shortly after the Southern Appalachian National Park Committee formed, they received pleas from dozens of communities. Each claimed to have just the spot for a national park. Shenandoah Valley, Inc., was a Harrisonburg-based group. Three thousand citizens from 13 counties in Virginia and West Virginia promoted tourism, and thought the Massanutten Mountain, to our west, a prime park contender. The Blue Ridge area found its voice in George Freeman Pollock. He operated a resort called Skyland, on the shoulder of Stony Man Mountain above the towm of Luray. He got pleasure from entertaining his guests in a beautiful place, rarely making a profit. When one of his cabin owners talked about the committee, he realized the best way to provide for the mountains he loved was to make them a park. Mr. Pollock went to work on the committee members, he sent them letters, visited them in person, and invited them to come to his resort and tour the area. He and Mr. Mather had common ground. For an early committee visit, he produced the following evening, described in a later newspaper article in the Richmond Times Dispatch: “In the big social hall he built a roaring fire with ponderous logs, set out a dinner that will always remain a highlight in the gastronomic experience of everybody present, and then turned loose the advocates of the park on the commissioners themselves in a flood of oratory that stirred even icyhearted old Stony Man to do his best.” Mr. Pollock needed help. He formed a group, the Northern Virginia Park Association. Of the five other officers of the Association, two were influential men Making that love connection I almost always look forward to creating this column. I had decided a couple of weeks ago on this subject and then put it off for one reason or another. Since then I have seen the subject related by Other columnist in other major periodicals, such as The Washington Post. I hate competing but here goes! Truth always being better than fiction I shall tell you of an experience that I had happen to me about 10 years ago when I was young and adventuresome. My attention was drawn to the back pages of the Washingtonian Magazine where lonesome men and women advertised their persons as being available for romantic adventure. Being at the time uncommitted I decided to take a chance. 1 read many of the ads to get a feel for the style and also the abreviations. If you have never delved into the subject here are some abreviations you have to know. ISO - In Search Of S - Single W - Widowed D - Divorced , M - Married M - Male F - Female So an ad which starts with DWM ISO would mean, divorced white male in search of, thereby saving $5 in line costs. I was surpised to find two “M’s” in the ads. Evidently some (mostly male) desire to stray. However, on thinking about it, females answer these ads so they too do. Another thing men have to know Photo Courtesy of Shenandoah National Par The Secretary of the Interior Addresses the assembly gathered at the dedication of the Shenandoah National Park. Eleanor Roosevelt sits to the right. who lived in Washington, DC, and vacationed at Mr. Pollock’s resort. The other three officers were local men — one from Harrisonburg, the other two from Luray. L. Ferdinand Zerkel, chair of the board of directors, ran a real estate business in Luray. Yes, his business would likely increase when the park was established, rfis interest was more than monetary, however. According to Darwin Lambert, author of a history of the park, Mr. Zerkel “...simply loved to get people together, especially ‘enemies’ who hadn’t yet realized they’d gain more from cooperating than from competing." It was Mr. Zerkel who convinced Shenandoah Valley, Inc., members to change their support from the Massanutten to the Blue Ridge. Mr. Pollock provided the personal touch to all the members of the Southern Appalachian National Park Committee. One man was particularly reluctant to support a Shenandoah National Park. He preferred the Great Smoky Mountains area. No one at that time knew that more than one park would be authorized. When the man finally accepted Mr. Pollock’s invitation to tour the area in Virginia, he got one fine adventure. On his last night, after a long day in the saddle, the moon was bright, the wind rushed over the mountains, and Mr. Pollock offered him a view he would always remember. In the moonlight they rode to the summit of Stony Man Mountain. They climbed to the top of an observation tower and surveyed the ridges, hollows, valley and piedmont. The sound of wind in the trees mixed with the roar of water over rock. Mr. Pollock told him the best of what he’d seen in his travels was oft-repeated on ridge, after ridge, after mist covered ridge... The next day Mr. Pollock took the man to White Oak Canyon and let the scenery speak for itself. The last committee member was convinced. The committee assembled in late 1924 to set up the criteria by which they’d select a park site. No area of less than 500 square miles would be considered. Mountain scenery, room for millions of visitors annually, and significant sections of virgin forest and stream were important. Streams for fishing, wildlife habitat, and accessibility by rail and road were other key elements. The Committee decided the Shenandoah National Park should be the first park in the southern Appalachians, and the Smokies second. While the latter was more spectacular, the Virginia ridge was the first choice because it was closer to more people. Also mentioned was the chance of constructing a drive along its crest. Remember, this was the 1920’s. The automobile was the growing middle class’ tool and toy. Day By Day is how to read an ad written by a woman. I cannot give competent comment for women on ads by men. I, myself, know only how to speak the truth although reason tells me that some men would infer that they were handsome, rich and virile. But back to the reading and interpreting of an ad by a woman. If the ad has adjectives such as “attractive, intelligent, witty, adventuresome, sports lover, dancer, traveler” and other vague words then the chances are she is physically somewhere between plump and obese. If they are thin, it will say, “five foot six and 108 pounds.” If they say their age is 30ish you can bet that it is 40ish but you will never ever know for sure. If the ad is specific about a longterm relationship and marriage and specifies that the man be between the ages of 30 to 65 she needs help with the bills. However this one would make a real effort at making a marriage work if that is why you are looking. There are 100 other clues to the adjectives but I do not have the time and it will afford you opportunity to acquire good experience by finding things out as you venture forth. I placed the following ad; semi retired professional, DWM, 62, non smoker, enjoys golf, travel, art and country living ISO SWF same age for companionship and adventure, PO Box, etc. The ad cost about $38. There were 57 quick replies. Many anxious women complemented my sensibility in seeking a woman my age. (I actually thought it would have that effect). I received some younger replies but had decided not to respond to them. I figured that any woman as old as I would not play any game except fast and straight ahead. I was wrong. My first experience was a woman who wanted to have lunch with me. She gave me her phone number. This was unusual. Usually you meet at some busy spot, like the traffic island at Connecticut and K streets. But she trusted me because I was looking for a date my age. I asked her about that and she assured me that she was within reasonable limits. She had such beautifiit penmanship I went for her. She was at least 75 and walked with great dignity (very slow). She wanted to go to Clydes for lunch. Then in the following order, the grocery, the post office, the pharmacy and the cleaners. I treated her like a queen; she deserved it. Think of it. She writes one letter a week, total expenditure 29 cents. She gets a nice lunch, company, and all of her weekly chores done without imposing on any friends or relatives and is the envy of every woman she knows.

Library series begins Sept. 11 Rappahannock County Library’s First Friday educational series was such a success last year that it has been decided to do it again, with a completely new line-up of programs, designed to appeal to everyone. The first program will be Sept. 11, actually a second Friday because of the Labor Day weekend and is entitled “An Overview of the Grey Ghost.” The “Grey Ghost” was, of course, Col. John Mosby, Commander of “Mosby’s Rangers.” His force so controlled Northern Virginia during the Civil War that the counties of Fauquier and Loudoun became known as “Mosby’s Confed-. eracy.” Mosby’s lightning hit-andrun raids earned him the title “Grey Ghost” and he received promotions regularly throughout the war to the rank of Colonel, with a command of 800 men when the war ended. Speakers for the program will include Jim Moyer and Tom Evans, authors of “Mosby’s Confederacy,”which is available at the library. Also speaking will be Kenneth McAtee, whose grandfather served as a Mosby Ranger. McAtee is a talented photographer, with a collection of outstanding Mosby-related photographs. The fourth speaker will be Virgil Carrington Jones, a renowned raconteur and author. His books have been the definitive works on Mosby for many years. The Sept. 11 program on the Grey Ghost will start at 8 p.m. in the library’s meeting room, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to meet and talk with the speakers. Due to limited seating, it is recommended that you arrive early. Free admission.

My master read his morning paper here each day at sunrise. My mistress crooned lullabies to her infants while cradled in my arms. And the children...it doesn't seem so long ago that they jumped in my lap and crawled on my back...whenever they got the chance. “Now they’re all gone...moving to a finer home. They only took the new furniture. They left me." Some of us may consider forsaking the revered and trusted to search for novel methods for coping and for finding contentment. We need not.
