Representatives of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and the Piedmont Environmental Council argued forcefully for keeping the open space category, perhaps only for land on which the owner had deeded a permanent scenic easement. Although the old county ordinance allowed the open space category, all the land in the land Use taxation program had qualified as agricultural, horticultural or forest land. County Attorney Peter Luke explained that most of the changes in the new ordinance were designed to bring the ordinance in line with amendments to state enabling legislation. Attorney John Gleason, representing RLEP and PEC, said that the open space category is only for land in an agricultural or forestal district, land where the owner has entered into a contract with the county not to develop the land for a period of years or land with a scenic easement. He said open space should be kept as a category, at least for land in scenic easement. With a scenic easement donated in perpetuity, land bought for speculation would not qualify, he said. County Administrator John McCarthy asked the RLEP and PEC representatives if they knew of any land with a scenic easement that had See Land, Page A-2 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Bill Dolan, left, Marie Ritter, Kent Reeve, Ray Vickery, Ann Vickery and hosts Joy and Larry O’Rourke at the Democratic fundraiser at White Walnut Hill. Vickery attacks Wolf's record at fundraiser County Democrats had a party last Saturday and particularly enjoyed the fact that it was at White Walnut Hill, the former home of conservative political columnist James J. Kilpatrick, but now the home of Larry and Joy O’Rourke of Washington, D. C. and Woodville. Ray Vickery, the Democratic candidate for the 10th District Congressional seat, said he believes he has a good chance to defeat incumbent U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-lOth Dist., but 60 percent of the voters are still undecided. “There is a real race going on, but we will have to rely on each other to be involved in the last 30 days,” he said. Mr. Vickery said Rep. Wolf has not wanted to get involved in debates, but is already spending money on television advertising. “He needs that because of the things he’s done,” Mr. Vickery said. He said Rep. Wolf accuses him of having no record, but Mr. Vickery served in the General Assembly working on reforming the processes in the legislature and on land use planning. “What he really means is I’m not an incumbent, and to that I plead guilty,” he added. He said since leaving the General Assembly he has married and had two children. “Rep. Wolf talks about family values, but last week, for the See Vickery, Page A-3 Old Rag Bulletins Absentee voting The Registrar’s Office will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, Oct. 24 and 30 for absentee voters to cast ballots.

Sheriff John Henry Woodward said Lt. Ray Jackson and Deputy Connie Compton investigated a 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am that came through the checkpoint about 12:30 a.m. after they noticed it was improperly registered. One of the deputies, Woodward said, reported that they saw marijuana in plain view on the back seat. A further search of the car, Woodward said, revealed three ounces of suspected marijuana. Carolyn Boggs, 21, James Matthew Boggs, 21, and Brandon Hudsonpillar, 19, were charged with possession of marijuana, the sheriff reported. Virginia State Trooper S.M. Knick charged a Page County man with possession of marijuana after he stopped a 1984 Ford Bronco for an equipment violation Sept. 30. Knick reported that when he approached the truck, he smelled a strong odor of marijuana. A search of the truck, Knick said, revealed suspected marijuana, and Ricky Allen Houaden, 21, of Luray, was charged with possession of marijuana. There were no injuries in two unrelated accidents Oct. 1,. both of which were blamed on deer, according to Trooper C. A. Moore. Moore reported that a 17-year-old Washington, Va. resident was southbound on Route 612, 1.3 miles north of Route 600, when she lost control of her 1980 Chevrolet attempting to avoid a deer. The car ran off the left side of the gravel road. The girl was not injured, but her car was destroyed, Moore reported. No charges were filed. Later that evening, Christopher LaPointe, 36, of Boston, Va., was driving on Route 621, just east of Route 231, when he lost control of his car on the gravel road as he attempted to avoid a deer. The 1988 Jeep slid off the left side of the road and struck a bank. Moore estimated damage to the car at $2,500. Again, no charges were placed. Ray Alan Strother, 32, of Delray, W.Va., was charged with failure to yield the right of way after an accident on U.S. 211 Oct. 1. Trooper S.M. Knick reported that a 1971 Chevrolet pickup truck, driven by John T. Beahm, 32, of Washington, Va., had just turned onto U.S. 211 from Route 622, when a 1985 Mack tractor, driven by Strother, pulled from a private drive into his path. Neither driver was injured, Knick reported. — By LOU HATTER vfatJasre ' v - Rappahannock News Graphic by Brenda Ducker High local taxes bring little to county schools By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The state’s Comparative Report of Local Government Revenues and Expenditures for the year ended June 30, 1991 again shows that Rappahannock is a relatively high tax county for our area that spends relatively little for education. The report, which is based on auditors reports filed with the state for every county, city and large town in the state, shows that Rappahannock collects $703 per person in the Cggpity in local taxes. Among surrounding counties Culpeper is slightly higher at $732 per person, and Fauquier is considerably higher at $931 per person. However, Page County collects $300 per person, the third lowest in the state. Madison collects $448 per person in local taxes, and Warren County collects $412 per person. The average for people living in counties in the state is $969, but about 25 percent of the people who live in counties in the state live in Fairfax or Arlington counties where the local take is $1,782 and $1,706 respectively. If the amounts in each of See Taxes, Page A-3 Teenage drinking still problem in county “Alcohol is the most abused drug,” Jeff Brown from the Sheriffs office told parents at last Tuesday’s program at the Washington Fire Hall sponsored by Concerned Citizens Working for Healthy Youth (CCWHY). Capt. Brown said, “In 20 years in law enforcement, I’ve seen a lot of problems caused by alcohol... We see wrecks, family fights, broken homes, vandalism, thefts, even murders.” He said although . 1 percent alcohol in the blood is considered evidence of driving under the influence, the average charge in Rappahannock is for those who test. 17. “Our society has pretty much accepted alcohol and alcohol abuse,” he continued. “Many times people drink a six pack on the way home from work. By the time they get to Rappahannock they are over the limit. They they have another six pack at home. The kids see their role models under the influence. ” He said the number of alcohol-related accidents was down last year in Virginia. “We’re hoping that is a clear sign that alcohol awareness is working and not just an indication that in a recession people are driving less,” he added. See Problem, Page A-3 ] Supervisors deluged by bear complaints By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Bears took up a large part of the time of the Board of Supervisors at Monday’s meeting. Game Warden Jim Bankston came to the meeting to discuss the large number of complaints about bears this year. He said that 24 bears had been trapped in the county this year and relocated to other parts of the state. The supervisors had asked him to come because of the large number of complaints they have received from people complaining about bears damaging crops. Mr. Bankston said that last year he received no complaints about bears. For the past 17 years, Mr. Bankston said, the county has averaged 10 to 12 bears a year that have been trapped and moved. With none last year and 24 this year, that averages 12 per year for the past two years, he said. Mr. Bankston reported that last year there was plenty of food for the bears in the Shenandoah National Park. This year, they have no food in the park, he said. Hubert Gilkey, chairman of the board asked if it would be possible to have the bear hunting season changed so bear can be shot when the deer season starts instead of a week later. Mr. Bankston said the supervisors could write to the game commission and request such a change. This is the second year of the current regulations, he said. The rules for the next two years will be decided this coming spring. It will not be possible to change the rules for this hunting season, he explained. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked Mr. Bankston if he would favor such a change, but Mr. Bankston said he would not answer with his personal views. He said he had suggested years ago that bears be trapped in the See Bear, Page A-3 Rappahannock New* Staff Photo/Ftances Bishopp The Lunch Bunch does its thing at the Public House. Lunch Bunch nibbles on hot topics at repasts By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Around lunchtime, three to four days out of the week, you can find always find them, (whoever “them" happens to be on that particular day) at Four & Twenty Blackbirds or the Public House in Flint Hill. They wander in haphazardly “around 12:30,” sit down, greet one another, often with a good-natured insult, and the conversation is off and running, more like galloping, actually more like the 100-yard dash. It’s Rappahannock’s famous and infamous Lunch Bunch, who have been getting together for lunch since Carter was president, (but not for that specific reason) to eat, talk, argue, laugh, inform and, to run the risk of using an 80s overused and sissy word, to bond. It’s apparent that this group of mostly men, and the occasional female, all thoroughly enjoy one another. The forum is one of friendship. Unlike women, who have a tendency to disagree with one another and then get in a snit, these fellows disagree with each other fairly regularly, in fact, its the grease that makes the wheels turn, but there are no hard feelings. It’s just the Lunch Bunch doing their thing. . v? From politics and farming to legal issues and golf, the subject matter can run the gamut in just one short hour. Discussions explode up and down the table, voices heat up a bit and laughter reverberates throughout the room.

PEC president Robert Dennis said he did not know of any land that had not qualified, but he said he would prefer to have his own land qualified under open space rather than as forest land. He said approving open space for land under scenic easement would encourage more landowners to donate such easements saving tax dollars, since land that is not developed pays more in taxes, even with land use taxation, than it demands in services. He said some of his neighbors, who are absentee owners and do not qualify for land use taxation, have talked about selling some of their land especially since the new assessments were announced. He said such sales would most likely result in the land “growing houses." Mr. Dennis said land in open space is not “doing nothing,” but is helping to prevent erosion, protect groundwater, and provide a habitat for wildlife. “In my opinion, it would be in the public interest — certainly the taxpayers’ interest — that certain lands in Rappahannock County be asked or expected not to produce a marketable crop: steep slopes, fragile soils, areas primarily of scenic value,” he said. “It is impossible to grow either cattle or oak trees on bare rock or extremely thin soil — but it might be possible to grow houses there.” Jackson District representative See Land, Page A-3 • » ,• • CHRYSLER • PLYMOUTH DODGE • JEEP • EAGLE, INC.J,.' oresents ^API^ PAR i l i I ■ • l* r ■ I»* IT"l *U l*i*l ■«n » Afito * • 11; r II r • .4 11 I_l>l\|| Ij I ipv.l 11 >> Weekly winners compete for the chance to: Try to Qualify as Many Times as You Wish In support of National Fire Prevention Month, donations will be received and given to our local Volunteer Fire Departments.

i ►Vickery From Page A-l > fourth time, he voted against the • family leave bill.” i He said Rep. Wolf has taken j credit for everything that has come out of the appropriations committee that has gone to the 10th District. “He has supported the Bush-Reagan supply side economics that has brought the country to the brink of ruin. If I talk about his record, he says that’s negative campaigning,” he added. “Why is that? It’s because his record will not stand scrutiny,” Mr. Vickery said. “It’s not just voodoo economics. He supported the savings and loan deregulation.” He said besides supporting further tax cuts “that’s how we got in this mess” Rep. Wolf introduced a bill to take out special car pool lanes. “That kind of easy sell, short-term thinking has gotten this country in the shape it’s in.” He also attacked Rep. Wolf on health care. “He’s signed on to the President’s bill that doesn’t address the problem,” he said. He noted that if present trends in health care costs continue, by the year 2040, “the entire GNP will be devoted to health care. They say, ’If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.’ Well, this is broke. Let’s fix it.” “Bush and Wolf are like stewards on the deck of the Titanic,” Mr. Vickery continued. “They say, Would like a chair? Can I bring you a blanket? Do you want a free lunch?’ We need a new captain and a new crew. Bill Clinton is going to be that captain, and I’m going to be part of that crew.” Marie Ritter, a Fauquier County resident, said she would be having a fundraiser for Mr. Vickery Oct. 18. She read from a newsletter sent out to investors and stockholders by the investment firm Morgan Stanley. It read in part, “Clinton should be able to get a lot done, and we are ready for a change. Legislation should zip through Congress...By mid year of a new Clinton administration, the U.S. economy will be leading the world out of recession... Clinton can get things moving where the Republicans cannot.” County Democratic Party chairman Kent Reeve asked county Democrats to “help get the word out.” By SHARON KILPATRICK ►Taxes From Page A-l | the 95 counties are added and then • divided by 95 the average per county ! is $630. Rappahannock at $703 is | 23rd in the state. Of those taxes the largest per{ centage comes from real estate taxes. Again Rappahannock is relatively high at $375 per person, behind Fauquier at $512, but ahead of Culpeper at $318, Madison at $199, Page at $119, and Warren at $153. On the other hand personal property taxes are not as high relatively. In Rappahannock they come to $92 per person, behind Culpeper, Fauquier and Warren counties but ahead of Page and Madison. Sales taxes at $26 per person are lower in Rappahannock County than any of the surrounding counties, but utility taxes at $33 per person are higher than surrounding counties. The rest of the county’s revenue comes from the state and federal governments. Rappahannock receives relatively little from the state 'at $423 per person.

Day REALTOR CAN YOU DEDUCT POINTS? In most cases, points (loan origination fees charged by lenders) are a substitute for interest that would be charged over the life of the loan. They could be considered a form of prepaid interest. A lender charges points, or an additional fee up front, to the borrower Instead of a higher interest rate over the full term of the loan. Generally, prepaid interest Is not deductible before the year to which the Interest Is allocable. However, you may deduct points in the year you pay them under the following conditions: First, they must be paid from separate funds on a loan Incurred in connection with the purchase of your principle residence. To qualify, the charging of points must reflect the established practice of lenders in the area where the loan is obtained. Further, the amount charged for points must not be greater than the number of points usually charged in the area for a similar kind of loan. Tax treatment for refinancing points are not the same.

He added that when he works the shift that starts at midnight, he frequently stops cars of kids out drinking and driving at 3 a.m. “Parents have got to be more observant,” he said adding that “There is an incredible amount of alcohol at field parties. When we find out about them, we try to do something, but we can’t be every solution. There is one deputy and one state trooper on duty for 274 square miles.” Capt. Brown noted that when he talks to students as part of the DARE program he finds that very few have any chores to do at home. ►Land From Page A-2 Ellis Bingham said that allowing land use taxation for absentee owners is increasing the taxes of the people who live in Rappahannock County: He said about 60 percent of the land in the land use program is owned by people who do not live in the county. He said state mandates are increasing county taxes. “We need to, take a hard look at what is best for the taxpayer,” he said. “This is simply narrowing our tax base.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said that requiring landowners to produce something on their land to qualify for land use taxation is benefitting the county. He said that feeder cattle prices have dropped recently.

He said he had suggested trapping 10 bears in each of the three sections of the park each year, but his suggestion did not win approval. He said the bear density in the Shenandoah National Park is higher than in any other national park. Nevertheless, Mr. Bankston said he was not sure bears are a serious problem. He said most of the bear complaints he has received are from five or six people and that 10 bears have been trapped in one orchard. He said he had never received a complaint about a bear attacking anyone unless provoked, and he had received a report about an unprovoked fox attack. He said when he receives a call about a bear causing damage, he tries to trap the bear and that is almost always successful. He said if trapping is not successful, he will issue the landowner permission to shoot the bear if there is substantial damage, but that bears eating downed apples or a few ears of corn aren’t doing substantial dam age. He suggested that farmers could fence their com or orchards. Mr. Bankston said that bears do most of the damage to com when it is in the “milk stage,” but farmers frequently don’t notice the damage until they are harvesting the com, and by then the bears are gone. “It’s a cyclic thing, ” he added. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said he had checked his com when it was in the “milk stage” and found no damage, but that now when the com is getting harder he is finding damage. “I personally am fattening nine bears,” he said. “Most farmers expect to share a certain amount of their crops with wildlife,” Mr. Massie said. “This year the bears are taking more than their share.” Mr. Estes said farmers should be able to kill bears that are damaging their livestock the same as they can shoot a neighbors dog who is killing livestock. “I don’t see why a bear should enjoy any more right to life than a neighbor’s dog,” he said. Newbill Miller said the law requires the game warden to issue a permit to shoot the bear if it is damaging crops. Commonwealths Attorney Peter Luke agreed that the law says that, but added the Code of Virginia frequently contains conflicting laws and added he could not agree with Mr. Miller’s claim without further research. The supervisors asked Mr. Luke to draft an addition to the county’s 11 TOYOTA CRE55IDA Wo. $25,603 Now‘22153” STOrKJfSSSI '92 TOYOTA CAMRYLE W«»$I84I?

Mr. Miller suggested it shouk also apply to other predators such at coyotes and wolves. Mr. Bankston noted that th< Game Commission is charged witl preserving wildlife and said the tra pping program is working. “Rappa hannock County is in a minority Hunters are a minority,” he added. The supervisors agreed to both request a law that would allow land owners to shoot bears killing livestock and to write the Game Commission requesting the bear season be moved up to start with the deer season. “We keep chewing this bear meat and it’s getting tougher all the time,” Mr. Estes concluded. When the supervisors again considered space needs in the courthouse, they learned that Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson had joined the other judges in asking for more space for witnesses. Mr. Massie asked if it would be possible to have witnesses wait in the room in the back of the Commissioner of Revenue’s building. Sheriff John Henry Woodward said, “It wouldn’t work.” He said with witnesses in separate rooms in the courthouse he could better keep track of them. Last month when the supervisors took up County Administrator John McCarthy’s suggestion that the registrar be moved to the room in the Commissioner of Revenue’s office, they had a letter from the elections board saying that space would not be suitable for the registrar. The supervisors then voted to move the magistrate’s office to that space, and then heard a strong objection from Chief Magistrate Fran Eldred. The supervisors then voted to take back their earlier action and table the matter until this month. Sheriff Woodward added that he would probably be required to increase security in the courthouse. He said he might need to install a metal detector and to clear the courthouse of everybody not there for court business. The supervisors went into executive session to discuss “the acquisition of reaf estate.” Following that session they announced, “The board is looking into the potential acquisition of real property and moving the magistrate and registrar to the new property. The real estate has not been acquired, and the matter is tabled until next month.” In other matters the Board of Supervisors: • Voted to contract with Community Trash to operate the landfill and continue to haul trash from dumpster sites at Scrabble and Huntly foi another year for $200,000.

T hp Auri'l Bureau THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1992 Editorial Platform ‘Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.' — Thomas Jefferson The Rappahannock News regards several bedrock issues to be of special importance to the character and heritage of Rappahannock County, and takes these consistent editorial positions on them. 1. Growth and development must be planned and controlled through strong, clear and fairly enforced zoning regulations sensitive to Rappahannock’s character, powerful beauty and the quality of life of its people. Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. 2. Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated in recognition that education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3. New business and clean industry for economic expansion should be actively sought to provide new employment opportunities here for our residents and their children under conditions which ensure that these businesses are self-supporting, not a burden on the tax base. Tourism and the business that supports it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industires. 4. Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent community, will be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strong timber and fierce spirit of the Rappahannock heritage. 5. Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and independently investigage any abuse of public trust by public officials.

SPIEKEE ' Treasurer Washington Volunteer Fire Department Clinton: big government To the Editor: Dr. Krebser’s discussion of the health care issue (Letters, Sept. 23) illustrated the central difference between President Bush and Governor Clinton: their contrasting views of the role of government in our lives. President Bush wants to use a combination of market incentives and citizen empowerment to attack problems in our economy and society. Governor Clinton promises an activist government with great reg ulatory power to accomplish the same purpose. Take energy policy, for example. Both candidates want to tilt us toward natural gas, which is clean and abundant. Bush will let the low price of gas lead us toward its selection. Clinton will sharply curtail domestic oil exploration and cut foreign oil imports, driving up the price of oil, gas’s principal competitor. Take environmental policy. Bush proposed, negotiated, and signed the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the most comprehensive air pollution legislation in the world. The Amendments set a goal for a dramatic reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions (Rappahannock County’s most serious pollution problem - check the haze on the Blue Ridge in August). To achieve the goal, the Amendments created a system of tradable sulfur dioxide credits, which will allow market forces to do cheaply what regulation normally does, at great expense. Bush won’t throw down the environmental gauntlet, fearing more job losses in a sick economy. For example, he won’t raise the fleet fuel economy standard for automobile manufacturers, which currently stands at 27.6 miles to the gallon, because he thinks that would give foreign manufacturers an advantage. Clinton doesn’t have this problem. He endorses a standard of 40 miles to the gallon, and sets a goal for 46. And Clinton has A1 Gore, who wrote an environmental manifesto proclaiming that nothing short of a complete revolution in our way of living was needed to save the environmeht. Clinton and Gore promise government intervention, big time. Dr. Krebser has it right: Bush experiments. He won’t replace the Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage This steer seems lost in thought. Could he, like many folks in Rappahannock, be pondering who to vote for? current health care system until he knows what he’s going to replace it with. Clinton, though, has no such restraint. He and a Democrat Congress have made a total commitment to a government-managed, government-controlled health care system. While he had his eye on the final collapse of the Communist Bloc, Bush let the economy sag. He sheepishly admits he has to work harder to get control over spending and regulation. Clinton sees Bush’s domestic problems, but somehow missed what was happening overseas. As his single, all-encompassing solution, Clinton proposes the failed concept of the Communist Bloc: Big Government. ROBERT M. DARBY Woodville Desperate for fresh ideas To the Editor: In response to your editorial two weeks ago, slamming Ross Perot, I would like to address three points which you made. First you stated that Perot was “evasive on issues.” The whole Perot movement was, and is, based on clear talk about critical issues. Don’t read his lips; read his best-selling book, “United We Stand: How We Can Take Back Our Country.” In it he expresses very specific plans to reduce the crippling deficit, to reform politics, encourage environmental protection, create a longterm energy policy, reform education, reduce crime and drug use, and establish the best health care system in the world. He has been forthright with ideas to create jobs, improve race relationships, and our nation's relationships with other countries through world trade policies. If you.don’t have time to read the book, at least read the brochure being distributed by United We Stand volunteers. It contains the checklist for federal candidates from the appendix of Perot’s book. This is a way to hold candidates accountable for their stand on specific issues - (Not who slept with whom or who knows how to spell potato.) You stated that his volunteers were angry and embittered. A few were. But angry and embittered people don’t work to place the name of their candidate on the ballot in all 50 states, forsaking vacation time in late summer. This is a positive force - a movement not of despair, but of hope. Look! Here’s someone with fresh ideas at a time when we desperately need them. iou stated tnat a last-minute Perot candidacy would rob the people of a chance to hear his ideas in the political forum. It is ironic that you suggest he should stay on the sidelines; the massive statewide surveys done last Thursday in Virginia showed that 91.3 percent of randomly questioned voters favored Perot’B reentering the race immediately. If playing by the rules means Bitting on prearranged haybales wearing jeans and a preordained flannel shirt, while mouthing platitudes to small farmers, then I’m glad Perot dropped out for that phase oi campaigning, ^lis doing so has only dignified a process that up till now has cost millions of dollars to fill the voters minds with a few pat phrases such as “family values” and “time for change.” Perot’s supporters haven’t given up on Perot because Perot hasn’t given up on our nation. Let met quote from the afterword of his book: “Alexis de Tocqueville crossed the Atlantic in 1831 to observe the growing power called the United States. He summed up his two-volume study by saying, ‘America is great because its people are good.’ Nothing has changed. I saw this in the last several months by working with thousands of people from all walks of life. America’s strength is its people. You are deeply patriotic, creative, and dedicated. You are filled with love for your country. You are brimming with ideas. You are determined to leave a better country to your children. . .only the people, the owners of this country can make America strong again.” DIANE WOOD Washington Who is Admiral Stockdale? To the Editor: With less than 30 days prior to the presidential election, the nation continues to focus on the values and virtues of the candidates, as opposed to their positions on the substantive issues. If character is the most important criteria for running for office, perhaps we should be asking, who is Admiral Stockdale? Admiral Stockdale is a Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution (Stanford University) who served on active duty in the regular Navy for 37 years - most of those years, at sea, as a fighter pilot aboard aircraft carriers. Shot down on his second combat tour over North Vietnam, he was the senior naval prisoner of war in Hanoi for eight years - tortured 15 times, in leg irons for two years, and in soli tary confinement for four years. At the time physical disability from combat wounds forced Jim Stockdale’s retirement from military life, he had the distinction of being the only three-star officer in the history of the Navy to wear both aviator wings and the Congressional Medal of Honor. He received 25 other combat decorations as well, included two Distinguished Flying Crossers, three Distinguished Service Medals, four Silver Star Medals and two Purple Hearts. As a civilian, Jim has been a college professor and college president, and is now in his 10th year at Stanford. His writing have been widely published, mostly with the central theme of how man can rise in dignity to prevail in the face of adversity. His most recent books are: “A Vietnam Experience: Ten Years of Reflection” which won the 1985 Honor Prize for Books from the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge, and “In Love and War” - a book co-authored with his wife. In 1987, “In Love and War” was presented as an NBC TV movie and was viewed by more than 46 million Americans. Admiral James Bond Stockdale is on the ballot as Ross Perot’s Vice President. He was quoted in Friday’s Washington Post as saying, “I’m not going to let Ross down.. .or myself.” BOB LINDQUIST Amissville Vote for Ray Vickery To the Editor: The vote for president and vice president tends to be the most illogical and irrational vote a person casts. This is so because the administration a president installs is vast and affects a great many aspects of national life that we are both concerned and unconcerned about or ig norant of. To identify the crucial issues at stake is difficult and we often fail to keep those issues in mind when voting. Consider the matter of education. Over a hundred years ago the Japanese government decided that education was important for the nation’s welfare and that everyone should know how to read and write and that occupational skills had to be acquired. As a nation, we have never made such a decision. Instead, it was less than 40 years ago that the Supreme Court ruled that educational discrimination was illegal! Of course the consequences of a discriminatory educational system are still with us. President Bush thinks he can win votes by trying to blame Gov. Clinton for being awarded a post-graduate scholarship to Oxford to enhance his educational experience - a new way for a president “to kick a little ass.” If Clinton and Gore are elected, they will alter the attitudes in government on a score and more of important public policies - education included. How refreshing that would be! And how refreshing it would be to have our representative in Congress to help them. Vote for Ray Vickery for Congressman from the 10th Congressional District - a new one for us and a district much in need of better representation on all of the 35 important issues Congress has passed enlightened legislation on and the president has vetoed. DIANA BIRD Washington Say no to George Bush To the Editor: This letter is in reference to Maurice Herndon’s letter published in the Rappahannock News Mr. Herndon must be living in a fantasy land See Letters, Page A-5 THE GREAT DEBAT YOU LIED ABOUT ME (I • • DID NOT//j| fl LOVE THE ' AMERICAN PEOPLE' I WONT HE TO v yoo 11 y PH WA~T3 zT?'

►Letters From Page A-4 if he really believes what he has written. He says that “until a Jrear or two ago, this country was prospering,” etc., etc. This so-called [prosperity was based on Reagonom•ic8 which has piled up the national [debt to four trillion dollars - more •debt than we have incurred in our [entire history. Collectively, we got •what we voted for when, in 1980, we [naively voted for the false promise of •tax reduction, a balanced budget, ;debt reduction and the biggest mili.tary we have ever had. Many competent military observers think, our defense expenditures were many times what we actually needed in any standoff with the Soviet Union. Remember, it was President Eisenhower who warned the nation of the power of the military complex. It’s all too apparent that we have been deceived to the detriment of ourselves, our children and grandchildren. At this point the average family 8 share of the national debt is $68,000 of which $8,000 per family is for the bailout of the failed S & L’s and all of this occurred in the Reagan Bush era - and just wait when all the facts come out on our banking crisis after the election. In 1980 candidate George Bush criticized candidate Reagan for his Voodoo economics and he was right. John Anderson was even more right when he said Reagan promises could only be accomplished with mirrors, that a tax cut was not justified until the budget was in balance, and he advocated a 50 cent tax on gasoline. Even with such a tax, the cost of fuel in this country would still be a bargain compared to anywhere else in the world. In short the nation has endured 12 years of political hokum of borrow and spend. President Bush has had four years to correct the excesses of his predecessor who was aided and abetted by too many Republicans and Democrats in Congress who bought this supply side nonsense. Now the nation is confronted with a tough choice. Obviously Bush has tailed as a national leader, in spite ot many promises which he may not be able to fulfill, Bill Clinton is our most logical choice. Clinton, five times the Governor of his state, was voted the nation’s most effective governor by his peers. If elected, hopefully, Bill Clinton will level with the American people and adopt some of the ideas developed for Ross Perot by John White, a very able Eastman Kodak executive. This plan is very similar to (hat being put forth by the non-partisan Concord Coalition led by retiring Republican Senator Warren Rudman and former Democratic • Congress Tsongas. With a Clinton administration in place along with a Democratic Congress the gridlock will be broken. Hopefully, the American people will then wake up to the mess we are in and agree to put everything on the table including taxes on our social security benefits, increased gasoline taxes, higher income taxes, etc. Like it or not we’re all in this together. We are not going to get out of this mess by continuing the failed policies and programs of the Reagan/Bush era. Bush’s “Read my lips, ho new taxes” pledge was in my judgement the equivalent of Nevil Chamberlain’s pledge of “Peace in our times.” Both promises were cop outs. As things now stand, we are currently spending over 300 billion dollars a year on defense, 285 billion on Social Security and 200 billion in interest on the national debt. If we the people allow this to go on for another two years, interest on the national debt will exceed social security expenditures, the economy will con-" tinue to stagnate, we won’t be competitive in the market place, unemployment will increase along with social unrest and interest rates will probably increase to 15 percent or more thus farther weakening our fragile economy. . * Its time for all responsible citizens to demand that our government ibite the bullet. As mature adults we must realize that we cannot continue the disastrous and irresponsible policies of the past 12 years. As Hobart Rowan says, “There is a link between the decline in America’s global clout and the role played by the deficit.” I hope Mr. Herndon has noted that Republican Pete Domehid and Democratic Senator Sam Nunn are jointly saying that the nation’s economic survival depends on action in ’93. They say that nearly two trillion dollars will be required in spending cuts and tax increases to balance the budget. The evidence is overwhelming that we need a real change, a new direction and not four more years of what we have been getting. WILLIAM B. REMINGTON Flint Hill Bush will not face real issues To the Editor: Mr. Bush will not face the real issues in America “Jobs,” homeless, pida, abortion and women rights. I I would not be upset with Mr. Bush, if he would keep “Jobs” in America! Mr. Bush is sending our “Jobs” to Mexico and Canada while there are hundreds of thousands of people in this country who need work! He sends “Jobs" to other countries, then Mr. Bush says “read my lips no more taxes” and he raises taxes! Also Mr. Bush is sending American tax dollars to Russia and Israel, $11 billion tax dollars to Russia and $10 billion tax dollars to Israel. I would agree with Mr. Bush if our country was working and the unemployment were low! But unemployment and welfare and food stamps are at their highest in history! I ask the American people can $21 billion tax dollars make “Jobs” in America? Why doesn’t Mr. Bush answer this question? Where are the American people’s “Jobs,” they are in Mexico now and Canada will soon have more American people’s “Jobs!” We need a change in America! We need “Jobs!” ROY SPARKS Edinburg Congress must live up to its responsibility To the Editor: Often, when we are caught up in an emotional state of mind, we have a tendency to forget some basic facts of political life. For whatever they may be worthy to your readers here are some ideas from a history teacher. It is an imperative for every voter during this election year to decide on which political candidate best represents their personal philosophy of who genuinely represents a program to solve governmental problems, especially our present economic crisis. Points to consider. First, ask questions. Why does the Congress continue its resistance to cut Federal spending? Could it be because the maioritv Dartv (in this case the Democrats) is fearful of losing their re-electability? Why does not the majority party in Congress join in the effort to enact legislation providing for lineitem veto authority for a President to cut unessential spending? This would provide a weapon for a President to cut out of important legislation pork-barrell-spending riders that members of the Congress often attach to “must” bills. In this reluctance to provide lineitem veto authority because Congressmen feel that the ability to add his or her special project rider to important legislation is a way of assuring reelection? The Constitution itself provides a clue to our economic dilemma. Article I, Section 7 reads. . .“All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives. . .” Article I, Section 9 states that. . .“No money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in Consequence of Appropriations made by law. . .” Is it not logical to ask our member of Congress why this authority to cut Federal spending has not been used if the criticism of spending is for real and not just for show to voters? President Bush has, from the beginning of his term, tried to pursuade the Congress that cutting Federal spending is a major way to reduce the Federal deficit. Why -. Nhaven’t we voters who are so loudly protesting this Federal deficit demanded that the Congress live up to its responsibility and stop appropriating hinds to operate these programs that are contributing to the deficit? To vote on Nov. 3 with a thoughtful mind and not just with emotion, particularly when dictated by one or the other of the political parties, is critical to our long range recovery. M. GORDON HERNDON JR. Sperryville Writer should learn lesson' To the Editor: This is in response to Bill Fitzsimons’ poor attempt at humor in his article “Great column but...!” I was outraged by the falsehoods in his statement. “I had what today is known as a ‘learning disability,’ that is, I was lazy and indifferent, but eventually I learned my lesson.’ Being lazy and indifferent is not a learning disability, it is a behavioral problem, one that can be corrected with behavior modification. (I could recommend a professional if Mr. Fitzsimons is interested in correcting his behavioral problems.) It is obvious Mr. Fitzsimons did not “learn his lesson,” probably due to the laziness and indifference behavioral problem, or he would know that children and adults with learning disabilities are a reality and not a joking matter. Students with learning disabilities struggle every day to learn and understand concepts that are easily grasped by those more fortunate. These students are not lazy they are hard workers who deserve better than off-handed snide remarks from “lazy and indifferent” people who try to use them as the butt of their pathetic jokes. Perhaps there is still hope for Mr. Fitzsimons to “learn his lesson” and prove that he does have a heart. A Rood start would be an apology to all the readers of this paper who might be a mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, cousin or friend of a child or adult with a learning disability. Second, volunteer to tutor a student with a learning disability, or at the very least, do some reading on the subject, who knows you may still learn something. Last, remember, not one of us is immune to fate, you never know when you might find yourself in someone else’s shoes, fighting the ignorance and prejudices of “lazy and indifferent” people.

The schools are much better. Arkansas’ increase in good manufacturing jobs has been outstanding. Its local and state tax burden is 47th out of the 50 states. Bill Clinton’s fellow governors have named him the most effective governor in the United States. George Bush himself highly praised Clinton for his leadership in the education summit of all the governors in Charlottesville. The people of Arkansas, in the last four elections, have given him from 55 to 64 percent of their votes. Those who know him best strongly disagree with George Bush’s description of Bill Clinton. AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON Syria 'Flattered and gracious' doesn't cut it To the Editor: I read an article in the Kappa hannock News tonight that greatly disturbs me. It concerns the application and approval of a petition for a Bed and Breakfast by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bridges. I deeply regret that I wasn’t aware of the impending petition. If I had been, I can assure you I would have been at the meeting on Sept. 16. My husband and I own and operate Apple Hill Farm Bed and Breakfast in Sperryville. We got our final permit on Jan. 1,1992, after meeting all the requirements (i.e., applications, fees, permits, water tests and inspections). We have worked very hard in the last two years to obtain the acceptance and approval of the board and to make Apple Hill Farm the kind of B&B we could be proud of and felt the public would expect. We operate 365 days a year. We would like to make a success of Apple Hill Farm, but cannot do so without the support of local supervisors and establishments such as the Bleu Rock Inn. I take particular exception to the paragraph in the paper that quotes Mr. Bridges as saying, “The petition speaks for itself. When the Bleu Rock overflows, it is too late to call other B&Bs. They asked if we would take these people." That’s simply not honest. Only once in the nine months since we have been in business has the Bleu Rock called us and asked us if we can take overflow, and that was very recently. I gladly agreed. Since we are new, we often times have openings when other B&B’s don’t. 4 & 20 Blackbirds can call us at 10:30 at night and find rooms for several of their dinner guests, as can the Inn at Little Washington, but the Bleu Rock can’t call us because it's “too late.” That is not only inaccurate, but insulting. I have been under the impression that the Bleu Rock has had no overflow since we have not gotten referrals from them. Reality is they don’t chose to refer us. We constantly refer dinner guests to the Bleu Rock (and our other local restaurants), and we have also referred wedding parties to them. If this application has the approval of the county administrators, I would appreciate it if it were done knowing that there are other facilities who do have openings, and that it will take business away from us. I have spoken with a few other B&B operators and I find that not all of us are booked completely and certainly none of us who are unwilling to take last minute guests if we have openings (and we still have openings). 1 don’t feel this is personal, I simply feel there are other motivating factors of which neither of us is aware. The last thing I would like to bring up is the interesting fact that the Bridges were operating without a permit (which I understood not to be acceptable), but no mention was made of a fine for operating illegally. Is that a new precedent our county is setting? Is the local government savin tr that, it’s nkav to nnerate a Bed & (within driving distance) Breakfast without a permit as long as one doesn’t get caught? If the Bridges have already been taking guests before the real “season,” how long have they been doing so? Were their guests made aware of the fact that they were staying in an establishment that was not yet approved (had not yet even applied for approval, or been inspected by the health department), which is their right to know? Is that why the rest of us have been getting no referrals from Bleu rock? Even though it was the opinion of some of the board that this was not a legitimate application, it was approved as a tourist home for a period of two years without having to meet any requirements. I believe fair competition is a good thing, with the key word being “fair.” It takes more than being “flattered and gracious” to operate a legitimate Virginia Bed and Breakfast.

AD Thursday, October X, IW Topaz Vaulters to visit county Oct.17 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New. Contributing Writer Soldiers of ancient Rome trained f6r battle by practicing gymnastics oW horseback. Today, vaulting is a favorite sport for European youth, and this unique athletic activity is riding to new heights in the United States as the American Vaulting Asgociation, now more than 60 chapters strong, adds new members and dubs to its scores of sanctioned competitions. .On Oct. 17, the sport comes to Rappahannock County as Mountain 9prings Stables plays host to a demonstration and clinci by the Topaz Vaulters, a 4-H Club from Chantilly. “We want to try new things to keep our business interesting and exriting,” said Dafna Laurie, who, with Heather Marsh, owns and operates Mountain Springs Stables near Sperryville. “But even more to the point, vaulting is a wonaemu spon. for kids who are involved with horses." Ms. Laurie speaks from experience. She started vaulting when she was seven years old, and under the guidance of Chris Appel-Bucierka, coach of the Topaz Vaulters, she Went on to place fourth in the National Vaulting Championships in 1984. “I loved horses and I loved gymnastics, and vaulting combined the two,” Ms. Laurie recalled. “It was challenging and exciting. Plus I’d never worked with a team before, so that element of cooperation and joint Competition was new for me.” 1,1 Vaulting improved not only her riding skills but also her relationship with horses, Ms. Laurie says. “You Tearn to really trust your horse once ri-» you sit up behind the horse’s ears and know that the horse can - and will - hold you.” Mrs. Appel-Bucierka sees traditional reasons for vaulting’s popularity. “Vaulting is excellent preparation for gymkhanas and other 4-H competitions on horseback. Also, it’s the only equestrian sport where one horse will do for 10 or 20 kids, so it’s the most affordable equestrian sport,” noted the coach. Both women cite a final and compelling factor to explain why vaulting has endured for centuries and is enjoying such a resurgence today. The skills children learn from vaulting comprise the equine equivalent to the automotive airbag, they say. “If you ride often and long enough, chances are you’re going to be stuck on a runaway at least once,” Mrs. Appel-Bucierka said. “If you can’t stop the horse, you’re only op tion may be to jump off. Vaulting teaches you how to do that safely. Once you learn how, it’s a skill you never forget.” The coach of the Topaz Vaulters tells of a former student who later competed in endurance rides. “Her reins broke when the horse was moving downhill - fast! She vaulted off, grabbed the trailing rein, stopped the horse, repaired the bridle and finished the ride.” Ms. Laurie has a more recent story. In the lessons she teaches at Mountain Springs Stables, she covers emergency dismounts at the very start. “I incorporate a little elementary vaulting, and in this particular instance, the student - an eight-year-old beginnger - asked a lot of questions so I went into more detail.” Photo Courtesy of Ken Pitt Mindy Hales, of the Topaz Vaulters 4-H of Chantilly, performs on the team’s Belgian gelding Chauncey. A few weeks later, the girl was riding at a friend’s house. “The horse took off. Her stirrups were too long and she was using a western saddle - totally unfamiliar,” Ms. Laurie said. Unable to let go of the horn long enough to rein in the horse, the frightened child jumped off. “But she remembered the vaulting lesson. She used her hands, she tucked her head, and she rolled,” the instructor said. The child was not only unipjured. She was back on the horse in 15 minutes (this time with a lounge line). “And now she’s so much more secure,” Ms. Laurie added. “She’s taken the worst a horse can offer and prevailed.” “Vaulting is fun. Vaulting is exciting. Vaulting offers lots of opportunities for healthy competition and challenge, particularly with the drive to reinstitute it as an Olympic sport. But that margin of safety is the best reason for learning how to vault,” Mrs. Appel-Bucierka concluded. The Oct. 17 vaulting clinic, offered 12:30 to 4 p.m. at Mountain Springs Stable is open to adults and children six and older. Cost to participate is $20; anyone is welcome to observe at no charge. All proceeds go to the Topaz Vaulters 4-H Club. For more information or to register call 987-9545. Reservations requested by Oct. 16.

Bappafjannocfe j£etos d Old Rag Bulletins Flu shots available The Rappahannock County Health Department will begin administering the 1992-93 flu vaccine in October which will hopeftilly provide immunity from the most common varieties of flu throughout the season. Although most people are ill for only a few days with flu, some people at risk can become quite ill and the flu can be life threatening. * The following groups are at increased risk for serious illness with I the flu and should receive vaccine: All people 66 years of age or older, adults and children with long-term heart or lung problems, people who have a type of cancer or immunological disorder (or who use cer- • tain types of medications) that lowers the body’s normal resistance to infections and children and teenagers on long-term treatment with aspirin, who if they catch the flu may be at risk for getting Reye Syndrome. Flu shots are also recommended for those who work with the public and medical personnel because of their increased risk for exposure. Most people have no side effects from the recent infiienza vaccines. Unfortunately, Medicare is not covering the cost of the flu vaccine as in years past. For a person over 65 years of age or if you have a high risk medical condition listed above, the cost is $7. The charge for all other persons will be $12. The Rappahannock County Health Department will be offering the shots at the following times in October: 1-4 p.m., Oct. 8, 8:30noon, Oct. 14, 2-4:30 p.m., Oct. 21, 2-4 p.m., Oct. 29.

If you asked 10th District candidate Frank Wolf about the Lunch Bunch, he might start to sweat a bit. He visited the group several weeks ago at its invitation and got ham mered with some pretty tough questions. Non-partisan in the overall, (it’s a conglomerate mix of conservatives, liberals and independents,) the group would have asked the hard questions to a Democrat as well. This bunch knows its stuff and it would not be easy to put anything over on them. The truth is, the group is so diverse in its professions, interests and points of view, that it is no wonder that it knows its stuff. There is not much “stuff’ that hasn’t been covered throughout the lives of these, somewhere around 14 to 18, individuals. Doctor, lawyer, sculpter, artist, computer programer, senator, ambassador, mail carrier, Realtor, craftsman, public relations specialist, teacher, judge, columnist, teacher and farmer are but a few of the varied careers pursued by the members of the Lunch Bunch. Some are retired, some are not, but all have their independent areas of expertise. In a way, the Lunch Bunch reflects the diversity and complexity of Rappahannock County, a place where the twain does meet on a pretty regular basis. The historians and originators of the group are Dr. Werner Krebser and Doug Hume, who began to informally meet for lunch at, what was then, Bradford’s Store in Flint Hill, today known as the Flint Hill Store, in the late 70s. Hume explained that there is “non-club” atmosphere that has prevailed throughout the years. “Anyone who would care to join the table, could,” said Hume. “There really is no organization whatsoever.” Hume, who describes himself as an egalitarian, said that regardless of the differences among members on many levels, “the table itself is the equalizer.” “The divergent points of view by the members in reality is the draw,” explained Hume. “We can all rant and rave at each other and know no one will take offense.” “The public nature of the gathering also keeps us on an even keel,” he added. “In the past, we have had individuals come, who didn’t really say anything, just listened and that was fine also.” When questioned about the absence of regular women attendees, Hume replied that women were indeed welcome, but, in fact, might be put off by a certain “aura that is impossible to control.” “I have to admit that the nature of the conduct has become somewhat male,” said Hume. “And when women are there we have a tendency to tone it down a bit, admitted Hume. “I don’t feel that is a constraint on ideas, just on behavior.” “The same kind of constraint happens when someone new joins the group,” he added. Hume, described by group members as the “guru” of the Lunch Bunch, lives in Markham and works for the U.S. Postal Service. He is brother to Brit Hume, ABC White House correspondent and is unusually well informed and articulate. Dr. Krebser, well-known GP in Rappahannock, owns a medical building in Washington, Va. and appears to still be a core member of the group. Full of fun, he is a great tease and is quick to point out the errors of a particular diet selection, particulary when it is heavy on the fat or calorie end. Walter Day, a nine-year member of the group, has an astute sense of the ridiculous and can always laugh at himself. Freddie Kummli, area farmer originally from Switzerland, gets teased about his “conservatism,” although Dr. Krebser pointed out he is liberal on social issues. Burke Hertz lives in Rappahannock County and is a juvenile domestic judge. A member for a number of years, he said he generally doesn’t get there more than once or twice a month. Another member Fauquier County resident, Bob Moore, sold his computer business to Ross Perot in the 70s, but wouldn’t vote for him because, “he scares me to death.” Ron Weitzel owns property in Rappahannock and meets with the group about once a week when he can get away from his job teaching Capital Hill pages. Ted Resting, retired executive with Hurst Magazines, is a member. New member Ned Bittinger recently moved to Flint Hill and is a nationally known artist and portraitist. Jim Small works for Blueridge Technology in Flint Hill as a computer programer and is a recent member of the group. Fred Kummli owns Windsor Lodge farm and has been a member for five years. Walter Day, columnist for the Rappahannock News, has been a member for nine years. Robin Day, one of Day’s nine children, is a contractor. Butch Zindel is a Realtor and builder and long-time member. Carl Coon is a former Ambassador to Nepal and a composer. He has been a a member for five years. Frank Reynolds, town attorney is a member. Bill Remington, retired public relations director for one of the country’s largest architectural firms, has been a member for three years. Ed Barton, a member of r Washington’s Architectural Review Board, is a member and so is famouft sculptor Rick Hart. Eugene McCarthy drops in on occasion as does former president of the Rockefeller Fund, BUI Dietel. And, believe it ofr not, this list does not encompass the whole group, which, in its entirety, sounds like a recently released “Who's Who” for the eastern seaboard. “There are not really any type of member group,” explained Dir. Krebser. There are no rules or regulations of any kind. People ju$i show up when they can fit it in, we never know who will be here from one day to the next.” “Werner has really been the moving spirit behind the groupi” pointed out Judge Hertz. -1 The group on occasion gets together for other events. At Christmas there is usuaUy a Christmas party and wives and girlfriends are invited. The Lunch Bunch is not exclusive to Rappahannock residents either, pointed out Hume. There are a number of attendees who drive from Fauquier, Northern Virginia ojr Washington, D.C. “This is not a Rappahannock phenomena,” said Hume. a a It’s Elementary Kindergarteners have new teacher We welcome Elizabeth James as a new kindergarten teacher. Her class was made by taking 4 to 6 children from the other kindergarten classes. Mrs. Laver’s kindergarten class is learning about colors, shapes and the letters M, T and F. They are also learning about fall. The. fifth grade Reading Pals are reading to the kindergarteners every Friday afternoon. The first and fourth graders have an added feature to their science curriculum this year. Two Rappahannock County Elementary School teachers, Mrs. Roszak and Mrs. Vickers participated ii> the 2nd annual Blue Ridge Institute for Environmental Studies conducted by Shenandoah University this summer. The environmental studies course gave teachers field work study and training to take back to their classrooms to expand and ■ enrich their science curriculums. The first grade science curriculum is interpersed with such environmental concepts as ecology, fossils, geology and wildlife. All four first grades are following this expanded curriculum. Fourth grade topics are endangered species, pollution, recycling and the Chesapeake Bay. Mr. Roszak participated in the Institute during the summer of 1991, and seventh graders have been well into environmental studies. This science environmental awareness will be spreading through R.C.E.S. Smokey the Bear will visit the elementary school on Thursday as part of Fire Prevention Week.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1992. Historic '711 Main St/ dates to 1750s The 36th annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale will be held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17 and 18. - Over the years this event, sponsored by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish has been a popular highlight of the Fall season in Rappahannock County. As in the past headquarters for the tour will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in historic Washington, Va. Three homes will be open for viewing from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Block tickets, available at the Parish Hall or tour houses, will be $10 for all three and tea or $3.50 for a single house. Tea will be served both afternoons from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at xne Meadows, at the foot of Porter Street in Washington. Box lunches by the Ladies of Washington First Baptist Church will also be available at the Parish Hall. Offered for sale at tour headquarters will be hundreds of dried flower arrangements prepared by the Bromfleld Churchwomen, members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club and others. The second of the houses is “711 Main St.” In the center of the village of Flint Hill is the home of Jennifer and Dwight Matthews. The building initially was one-story log structure dating to the 1750’s. 'Hie original lower level wasi a stone-walled inground room with chestnut beams and a large cooking fireplace. Beams in the two pantries remained “in the rough,” ie, the bark was not stripped. The upper living area was also constructed of chestnut logs. Prior to 1800, a third story was added probably as a sleeping loft. In 1847 a three-story addition r was built on the south end and the house took on the Colonial Federal appearance it has today. Entry at street level is into a wide hall with the living room to the left and to the right a sitting room with exposed, stone-chinked logs. Rooms on this floor open to a veranda on the west which affords a lovely view of the surrounding fields and mountains. The Matthews have added a two-story addition of bedroom, bath and kitchen. All doors retain their original hinges and locks, some metal with hallmarks and one of wood with a handwritten notation still to be deciphered. The property has four outbuildings. To the west of the new kitchen is a mortise and neroed structure originally servants’ quarters, now a guest cottage. A former carriage house is now a workshop. The building at the southeast comer is used by Dwight Matthews as archtectural studio and office. In the center of the property is a 16-foot-square building which boasts three-foot-high wainscotting of continuous wide pine boards. Running along the east side of the yard and eight feet below street level is a stone wall which had been part of the sunken garden when the property was owned by the Cary family. It was the Carys who named it both “711 Main St.,” an arbitrary number, and later “Althea Terrace” since althea shrubs were used to screen the property from the street. Abelia shrubs have since replaced the altheas however the house number “711” remains. Since moving here in 1986, the Matthews continue to renovate and restore the house once owned by Jennifer’s aunt and uncle, Maxine and Frank Cary. 711 Main St. is in the center of the villaae of Flint Hill The sitting room of 711 Main St. has chestnut walls. Freyda Epstein & Atta Boys perform Oct. 17 Bv FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock N*w» Staff Writer Rappahannock residents will welcome an old friend on Oct. 17 when Freyda Epstein will perform at The Theatre with her group, the Atta Boys. Ms. Epstein, known for her rich, soulful and earthy ballads, was a member of Trapezoid from 1980 until 1988 and played at The Theatre on a number of occasions. In fact, she said, when she comes back to Rappahannock, she feels like she’s coming home. Bass player Ralph Gordon, one of the Atta Boys, was also a Trapezoid member. The third member of the group, guitarist and cittern player Bob Vasile, was the director and founding member of The Pratie Heads, a North Carolina-based duet spe cializing in early American music. Freyda and the Atta Boys (the name started out as a joke and just stuck) perform blend of folk, jazz and blues with innovative instrumentals infused with classical influence. During their first month as a trio, they made their debut performances main stasge at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and on American Public Radio’s “Mountain Stage.” Freyda and the Atta Boys have performed at the Black Mountain Folk Festival in North Carolina, the First Night Virginia celebration in Charlottesville and the Philadelphia Fold Song Society, to name a few. Ms. Epstein’s musical roots reach into the past, to the street music scene in Boston, where she performed with The City Ladies’ County Quartet. It was in Boston , whre she met Lorraine Duisit, ' who in 1979 invited her to audition for Trapezoid. By 1980, Ms. Epstein was a Trapezoid member, forming the extraordinary vocal partnership with Duisit ; that would propel the band for- ; ward during the next eight years and earn them international acclaim. Ms. Epstein left Trapezoid in 1988. Based in Charlottesville, she tought private voice and violin lessons and completed course work to become a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, a tool that has particular application for those involved in the performing arts. Lmnng tne summer of 1990, Ms. Epstein was hired as the first resident teacher of the Alexander Technique at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, N.Y. The program was so successful she was asked to return in 1991 and later that summer she also taught classes in the Alexander Technique and voice at the Augusta Heritage Workshop in Elkins, W. Va. Ms. Epstein has nearly two dozen recordings to her credit. On her own, she has worked with Ronnie Gilbert and with Ralph Gordon she has worked with such greats as Holly Near, John McCutcheon, Cathy Fink and of course Trapezoid. Ms. Epstein has produced several recordings, for artists Michael Parent and Seth Austin. Mary Lou Walters, left, with her tutor Susan Fox.

After the meeting, which was held in the Courthouse, the group repaired to the Literacy Office at the Library to celebrate those who had earned high school equivalency (GED) certificates. The four directors who were elected are: Robert Darby, Boston, Susan Fox, Castleton, John Hartline, Washington and William Lewis, Washington. Rose Ann Sharp reported she has obtained a grant for CCLC. L J Warm memories of European travel Last year my number one squeeze and I spent a whole month in Great Britain. You put me in a tiny car, on the wrong side of the road with a female partner with a good screaming voice for 30 days and I will swear off travel. That is what happened. Great Britain means England, Scotland and Wales. This does not include Ireland. Anyway this tiny car that was not bigger than the hood (bonnet) of my old Buick just barely held the two of us and the baggage, was where we fought for 30 days and 3,000 miles. Another terrifying thought, if you want to think about it, is that this tiny thing will go 80 miles plus an hour. Even at that speed you have the uncomfortable feeling that you are blocking traffic. Let me tell you about the first experience with a “round-about.” In our good old U.S. of A. the roundabout is a simple traffic circle in a town. In Britain they do not occur in towns but out in the open country. There is no sign that you are coming upon a round-about nor a warning even. There might be an arrow, left or right, pointing to some place you might, or might not be going. I was expecting an intersection with stop signs and understandable rights of way. That is, as I understand them. Now let’s add that other Day By Day scary fact, since this is out in the country I am keeping up with traffic at 70 mph. It was absolute terror! I am hitting the brakes, the guy behind is tooting, I am looking to the left for oncoming traffic (big mistake, to the right is where the traffic is coming from). Finally I go left and cut off someone who is convinced that his rightof-way is sacred and worth fighting for, or wrecking for. This person is not only tooting but he is calling me very hurtful names and trying to run me off the road, where he hopes to have a fist fight, if that is what they fight with, (fortunately I never found out) because I have invaded his sacred territory. During this the numero one sweetie is screaming, which of course makes me believe that there is some other threat out there that I haven’t seen. Then in the middle of this terror I remember that one oi the exits is for me to get off on. Since I have missed the exit I want I am very happy to get off on any exit I can find in a hurry. Then of course, it has to be done again. We traveled about half the time. Let us say every other day. There was no abatement of the fear on the off day, as-you can imagine. If you know that every other day some one is liable to kill you, there is no rest. On the off days we fought, “I will never forgive you for what you said to me while I was screaming on the round-about!” “Well, it was justified, you screamed so loud I thought there was an attacking aircraft that I had not noticed and if you don’t like it, you drive!” Boy that was an idle threat if there ever was one. Many times I searched for a nearby airport that had international flights. I had started this article to tell you of the town of Washington in Northeast England. Already I have almost run out of my alloted space. If you ever visit England you will note that almost all of their towns are named after one in the United States. One of the next issues I will tell you about Washington, England and the Washington Trinity Church and the Washington Town Hall. One interesting thing happened in Scotland that is worth relating. We were passing through Glascow on the way to Inverness when we accidentally got off the main road. Try as we could we were unable to get back on this through-way so we stopped at a pub. Incidentally you can always find a pub. We could actually see the road we wanted to get on from the parking lot at the pub. We entered and Rosie went to telephone a future relative (she was seeking her roots) while I approached the bar to get instructions. They do not speak English in Glascow. They understand English perfectly, they do not speak it. I tried, with map and pointer to get instructions on how to get on this road, to no avail. I took the man outside and pointed to the road and he could not tell me in English how to get there. When Rosie returned I handed her the map and said, “You are the navigator, you find out from this man how to get back on the road to Inverness.” I watched from a distance while she pointed and talked and he pointed and talked and she nodded and pointed. She turned to me and said, “Lets go.” We went outside and I asked, “What did he say?” She said calmly, “I have absolutely no idea.” (Editor’s note: Rappahannock News columnist Walter Day lives in Flint Hill.) >r Roundabout Country dances scheduled The Bluemont Concert Series new series of Second Saturday Oldtime Country Dances begins its first full season in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties Oct. 10 at the Marshall Community Center in Marshall.

Fun things about apples for kids By HELEN W. SMITH Extemkm A**nt. Home Economic* Apples are one of the most popular, flavorful, and healthful fruits grown in the world. Three-fourths of America’s populations, both young and old, name apples as one of their favorite fruits for snacking. Apples are also great with meals. Apples are pre-packaged in nature’s own wrapper. Apple growing is an important industry in America - especially right here in Rappahannock County. We have local orchards where people can purchase fresh apples and cider or pick-their-own. The first U.S. apple trees were planted by the pilgrims in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In the early 1800’s John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, traveled across the Ohio Valley carrying bags of apple seeds. As he ventured westwan!, he planted apple seeds and grew apple trees wherever he roamed to ensure that settlers living in the western frontier would have apples to eat. Today, the science of apple growing is called pomology. Over the years many people have worked to refine methods to produce the best formed and tastiest apples. There are 2,500 varieties of HOME ECONOMICS apples grown throughout the U.S. The top ten are: Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, York, Rome, Jonathan, Stayman, McIntosh, Granny Smith, Winesap, and Pippin. Which have you eaten? Be adventurous and try a new variety! Apple nutrition Apples are very good fruit for building healthy bodies. A mediumsized apple: contains almost no fat - helps reduce risk of cancer; has almost no sodium - helps reduce risk of high blood pressure; supplies vitamin A - good vision; contains fiber - helps reduce cholesterol and aids digestion; contain natural sugars called fructose; and has only 80 calories. Keeping the “crunch” The large packing houses use Controlled Atmosphere store (C.A.) to keep apples at their just-picked flavor and crunch year-round. C.A. is a natural strorage process. Newly picked apples are placed in rooms where most of the oxygen has been removed. The reduced oxygen levels slows the apple’s natural respiration down to almost a standstill. To keep apples crisp at home, keep them cold. Apples will soften 10 times faster at room temperature. So place them in a plastic bag in your refrigerator or keep them in the basement where it’s cold. Apple snack ideas This week’s recipes are apple snacks with kid appeal. Try them. Choco-nut dip: Combine equal parts chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave until melted; stir. Serve with fresh apple slices. Grilled apple-cheese sandwiches: Afld thin apple slices to a slice of American cheese between two slices of bread. Grill or toast until melted. Raisin bread is great! Applesauce is a topping children love! Spoon it over hot oatmeal, over ice cream, or pudding, or mix in granola for a sweet crunch. Apple slaw: Shred one small head green cabbage and combine with one red delicious and one golden delicious apple (unpared and chopped). Toss with golden raisins and coleslaw dressing to moisten. A salad with punch and crunch! Apple pancakes: Add one medium apple, finely chopped, to two cups prepared pancake batter. Try Winesap, Rome, or Golden Delicious apples for pancakes you'll flip over! Applesauce cake in a cone A magical microwave creation. Prepare a one or two layer spice cake mix according to package directions, except substitute applesauce for the water. Pour batter into flatbottomed ice cream cones, no more than half full. Arrange 6 cones in a circle in microwave and cook on full power 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 minutes. Continue baking 6 cones at a time until all batter is used. When ready to serve, top each cupcake with a big scoop of ice cream.

Home Economic* Rappahannock County 4-H’ers and several dedicated volunteers and parents have just published a cookbook of apple recipes entitled “Apples - Rappahannock Style.” The proceeds from the sale of the cookbook will support the Rappahannock 4-H’ers who have been selected to participate in the 4-H LABO Exchange Program to Japan in the summer of 1993. We appreciate the recipes and tidbits of apple lore that were turned in by numerous Rappahannock County residents that have been included in “Apples - Rappahannock Style.” Local artist, Geneva Welch, donated her time and talents to design the cover of the cookbook.

Wine Festival Saturday Z Fete dee Vendanges - The Festival of the Harvest! This ancient occasion for merriment is as - indispensable to the season in ■France today as it was when our I grandfathers came in from the fields Jwith mud on their boots and the final "basket of grapes on their arms. Prince Michel and its sister vineyard Rapidan River will jointly celebrate the bringing-in of the 1992 crop with true French passion from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10 on the grounds of Prince Michel, located in Leon, 10 miles south of Culpeper on Route 29. Prince Michel’s ties to France are fast and true. French wine making methods and traditions are as integral a part of the Vineyard’s philosophy as if its doors opened in the greenery of Bordeaux itself. A harvest without a Fete would be a sort of moral breach of contract. The “French street fair” theme if this year’s celebration is in keeping with the traditional mood of the occasion. This is a family-style celebration when worries are filed under “yesterday” because today’s schedule calls for life’s simple joys. The expanses of Prince Michel will be wandered by an impromptu mime, a strolling accordionist and an array of Can-Can dancers in full regalia. Sperryville highlights Mrs. T.M. Johnston spent last week in Charlottesville with Bethany and Broocks Meade in Charlottesville while their mother was on a business trip in California. Last Wednesday night dinner guests of Mrs. Emma Swindler and Mrs. Annabelle Swindler were Rev. Merlin Shorb of Flint Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Cook of Culpeper, Mrs. Margaret Devers and Mrs. Margaret Ann Wayland. Larry Jenkins and daughter Heather of Falls Church were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Jenkins and Angie and Mr. and Mrs. Jackie Baldwin and David. They also visited with Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Clark, Austin and Bryan. Children will be astounded by jugglers and awed by magic - and, they will clutch their bellies in laughter at the antics of Punch and Judy! Singing and dancing will be abound with authentic Can-Can dancers, and a German-style “oompah” band performing throughout the day. For more information or to reserve your tickets in advance, telephone Prince Michel at 547-3707 or 800-869-8242. Ten free shade trees Ten free shade trees will be given to each person who joins The National Arbor Day Foundation during October 1992. The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation’s efforts to encourage tree planting throughout America. The ten shade trees are Red Oak, Weeping Willow, Sugar Maple, Green Ash, Thornless Honeylocust, Pin Oak, River Birch, Tuliptree, Silver Maple, and Red Maple. “These trees were selected to provide shade and beauty, and a variety of forms, leaf shapes, and spectacular fall colors,” John Rosenow, the Foundation’s executive director, said. The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting between Nov. 1 and Dec. 10 with enclosed planting instructions. The six to twelve 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 Shade Trees, National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410, by Oct. 31.
