WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1993 Washington, Virginia Phone 675*3338 50 cents Brown Pleads Guilty Could Get Life Sentence ByBRUCESLOANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Charles Allen Brown pleaded guilty in Circuit Court last week to abduction, rape of a 16-year-old female, and assault on a jail employee' while a prsioner. The offenses stem from several incidents committed by the 27-year old Sperryville man. In July, 1992, Brown was arrested and incarcerated in the Rappahannock County Jail on charges of rape, sodomy and abduction of a 16-year old. He was also charged with violation of probation stemming from an earlier theft conviction involving a Sperryville gas station. { Brown escaped from the exercise yard in the jail as Deputy Sheriff Wayne Dodson was leaving the yard by striking the deputy from behind and knocking him down. Brown was rearrested several days later by Maj. Ed Streapy in Sperryville, and was later indicted on charges of escape and assault on a jail officer, in addition to the other offenses. Since then he has been held in custody without bond waiting trial on all charges. In lieu of a trial Brown pleaded guilty last week before Judge W Shore Robertson to charges of abduction, rape of a 16-year-old female and felonious assault on a jail employee while a prisoner. Sentencing is scheduled for October. 21. Under terms of the plea, which was agreecPto by Brown and his attorney T. C. Lea Jr., Commonwealth Attorney Peter H. Luke is asking for a sentence of 27 years to life. The actual senterTPe, however, will be determined by the judge. [n the Pink Searching for nectar, an ant crawls along a Dianthus blossom. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Board Ponders Fuel, Sets Fees By SHARON KILPATRICK Kappahannm k News Staff Writer The Rappahannock school system may be facing a crisis in providing fuel for the bus fleet for the coming school year. Quarles Petroleum, which has been providing gasoline and diesel fuel at the bus shop, did not submit a bid for the coming year. The company owns the tanks, two underground gasoline tanks (holding 3,000 and 4,000 gallons) and one above ground diesel tank (holding 500 gallons). None of the companies which did bid to supply fuels was willing to supply tanks. School Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board Tuesday night that he believes Quarles would be willing to give the tanks to the school system instead of removing them, “but we don’t want the liability," he added. He said he had expected Quarles to be willing to provide fuel for the coming year, and so he did not include funds to purchase new tanks in the current budget. “It’s too bad the bus shop is not next door to a filling station which would give us a good price,” Hampton District representative Bryant Lee said. He suggested Dr. Gangel look into another lease-purchase agreement for supplying an above-ground tank similar to the one that holds fuel oil for the elementary school. The current tanks , were filled at the end of the past school year. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell said that in the coming year nine of the 25 buses will run on deisel. He said he expected that over the next several years the school system will convert to a 100 percent diesel bus fleet. Mr. Lee suggested the school system consider purchasing a large tank divided into sections so that in coming years more of the tank can be used for diesel fuel and less for gasoline. , ' Dr. Gangel said he expects to have a recommendation on what to do about fuel for the buses before the start of school. The board approved a schedule of fees See Schools, Page A-6 Teen Football Starts Practice New League Forms By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The newly-formed Skyline Travel Football League gets underway Saturday with a weigh-in, and actual practice starts Monday for the Rappahannock Panthers team. “We have about 20 kids signed up,” said coach Tony Hoffman. Viewtown, “but we have room for a few’ more." The league is for boys and girls 12 to 15 years old. The League is made up of four teams, with the Rappahannock squad competing against three teams: the Fauquier Southern Storms, the Culpeper Fighting Bulls and the Warrenton Running Rebels. The first kickoff is slated for Saturday, September 11, at Rappahannock County High School, but the exact schedule is not vet ready. The league is the brain-child of founder, organizer and president Robert McKinley, who has helped raise more than $6,000 to get it started. This has been enough money to order uniforms and some equipment, said McKinley, but more funds are needed for additional equipment, insurance, and pay for game officials. “We’ve hail an excellent response from the community ,” said McKinley, and we’re looking foward to a learning season and a safe season.” This Saturday’s activities include a weigh-in and orientation at 10 a.m. at the high school. The maximum weight for 15-year olds is 140 pounds, but players 12 to 14 years old can weigh up to 160 pounds. Actual practice begins Monday evening. Sessions will be held Mondays through Thursdays from 6-8 p.m. until school starts. The first week will consist primarily of physical conditioning, said coach Hoffman. “The league requires six hours of non-contact training. We’re looking forward to a both a learning season and a safe season." he stressed. The league will schedule two games each Saturday, at 1U a.m. and noon at the high school, so all four teams will get to play every week. Each team will play every other team twice during the regular season, for a total of six games per team. There will be a one- or two-game playoff at the end. Coach Hoffman, an electrician by trade, is not a newcomer to the coaching arena. His football experience includes several years as coach to the Fauquier Mustangs, a Midget Division (6-9 year olds) team. That team included his son, Mark, w ho will be moving up to the Rappahannock Panthers with his father. For the past five years Hoffman has also coached the Astros baseball team, a member of the Rappahannock Athletic League, Majors Division, from Amissvile. “The whole family has always been sports minded,” said Hoffman, “even my wife, Penny. She keeps the statistics. And she’ll be the scorekeeper for the Skyline League.” Old Rag Bulletins Government at a Glance • Board of Supervisors, (continued meeting), 7 p.m., Tuesday, August 17, County Courthouse. • Architectural Review Board, 7:30 p.m., Thursday, August 19, County Courthouse. • Water and Sewer Authority, 7 p.m., Thursday, July 29, at the Courthouse, sewer rate hearing.

Five Years After RCHS: The Class of 1988 Looks Back By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Five years after their graduation most of the members of the Rappahannock County High School Class of 1988 are working, the majority full time; a few are raising families, and while individual class members are living in Louisaiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Vermont, as well as other parts of Virginia, many are still living in Rappahannock but working outside the county. A survey of class members conducted over the last weekend reached 12 of the 20 girls and 15 of the 30 boys who graduated in June 1988. Five of the former students, or 10 percent, have earned college degrees, and one is working on a masters’ degree. Several more have attended college, and some are planning on graduating within the next two years. None of the 15 young men contacted have served in the armed forces, but two of the young women have. If the sample contacted so far is typical, most of the members of the Class of 1988 are still single. Most say if they had their high school years to live over, they would study harder and take more advanced classes, but a few say they would do it all over again without making changes. Some say they would be more active in sports and clubs, but one said she would get involved in fewer activities. Two of the former students, one man and one woman, say the worst thing about their high school years was not having a football team. Some say everything was fine, and several remember least favorite classes. Many students say their favorite class was either chemistry or physics taught by Brion Patterson. Other students picked English, French, biology, or government and classes in art and music. A few students selected the vocational classes they had at Piedmont or business classes at/the high schopl. English, French and government also made it onto lists of “worst” classes along with history, but mathematics classes were most frequently mentioned. They could pick an activity rather than a class for “best” and “worst,” and sports, cheerleading, plays, yearbook staff. Pop Quiz and the National Honor Society made the list of “best,” while “no hot water in the showers” See Grads, Page A-6 Unemployment Inches Up By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The unemployment rate for Rappahannock County, the state of Virginia and the United States all increased slightly in June, according to figures released last week by the Virginia Employment Commission. Although the increases were relatively small, it was the second monthly increase in a row for both Rappahannock County and the state. Rappahannock’s rate rose to 5.4 percent compared to 5.3 percent in May and 5.1 percent in April. However, this is less than half the record f unemployment rate in recent years of 11.9 percent set a year ago in in June, 1992. See Employ, Page A-6 Jobless Rates Reported The jobless rate in Rappahannock was 5.4 percent in June, compared to 12 percent a year ago. M.

' “Jack was a friend and a coworker who would go out of his way to do anything for anybody,” said Mrs. Charlotte Freeman, Office Service Specialist, who worked with Mr. Lockhart for eight years. “I lost a good' friend.” Mrs. Frances Thornton, a M. ‘Jack4 Lockhart public health nurse, retired from the Health Department in 1986 after*. 36 years service. She worked with Mr. Lockhart from the time he began employment with the Health Department in 1966 until Mrs. Thornton’s retirement in 1986. “He’s the nicest person I’ve ever worked with,” she said. ‘‘He was real good to his friends. He was a good tease, and liked jokes even when they were on him,” she added. When Mr. Fanning Baumgardner was a county enginer he worked closely with Mr. Lockhart. “He was serious about his work, sometimes to the point of antagonizing people,” said Mr. Baumgardner, who was a pallbearer. “But it was never personal. He was just conscientious and wanted to do things right.” Their relationship blossomed into friendship and continued afSee Lockhart, Page A-6

Widow's Benefits Explained By BRUCE A. HUNDLEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “Will my husband’s benefits be reduced if I begin drawing benefits on his Social Security record when I become 62?” asks a caller to the Social Security office. The answer: her husband’s beneift will not be affected in any way when she begins drawing benefits. The amount of the wife’s benefit will, however, be reduced if she begins taking benefits before reaching age 65. A wife taking benefits at age 62 receives 37.5 percent of her husband’s benefits. If she waits until she’s 65, she will receive 50 percent of fier husband’s benefit. Should the husband die, the wife’s benefits will be changed to widow’s benefits. The benefit amount will be based primarily on the wife’s age at the time her husband died. For example, generally a widow who is age 65 or older would received 100 percent of her deceased husband’s benefit. The fact that she might have taken a reduced wife’s benefit does not affect the amount of her widow’s benefit. Benefits that are reduced because the spouse or surviving spouse took a benefit befdre age 65 will-remain reduced. Because the caller was a woman, I have been referring to wife’s and widow’s benefits. But the same rules apply to men who are eligible for husband’s and widower’s benefits on.< their wife’s Social Security record.

Land Sales Ruled Legal 5,600 Acres in County By BILL WALSH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Virginia Outdoor Foundation (VOF), accused last month of questionable land sales that appeared to favor the wealthy Rappahannock and northern Fauquier County residents who bought the parcels, was cleared of wrongdoing onTuesday. However, state officials issued a strong recommendation to the VOF board of directors, at its meeting in Richmond Tuesday, that it review many of the foundation’s policies. Following a lengthy, two-part expose in the Richmond Times-Dispatch in early July, Gov. L. Douglas Wilder ordered an investigation into the VOF’s activities. The Richmond newspaper alleged that the foundation was offering “sweetheart” land deals to several county residents who had previously loaned money to the foundation. Secretary of Natural Resources Elizabeth Haskell headed the investigation, assisted by the Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Attorney General’s office. “The transactions examined were, one, the purchase of 1,520 acres of land on the Bull Run Mountains, in Fauquier County,” Mrs. Haskell reported Tuesday morning. “This was purchased from the estate of Dorothy Jackson in July 1987 using funds donated and loaned by individuals in the Middleburg area, and two, eight different sales by the foundation, involving some 2,140 acres in the Middleburg area. These sales were tied to the events reported in the newspaper articles. “They include ... Steven Rales, Ralph and Josephine Chadwick, John Coles, Caro Bentley, Eve Fout, Doris Hotis, George Ohrstrom, and Lavinia Currier,” Mrs. Haskell said. But the investigation revealed that “all land transactions were legal,” Mrs. Haskell said. “This is based on our reading of applicable state statutes and the foundation’s enabling legislation,” she added. The Attorney General’s office agreed with this finding and, indeed, had previously “signed off on all transactions. The foundation itself approved all land sales in public meetings,” Mrs. Haskell said. The VOF did not publicly advertise these properties for sale, and, in the case of one parcel, did not get an appraisal. Nevertheless, “the files clearly show that the foundation Corrections . In last week’s Rappahannock ' .News the article on Faith Mountain’s rezoning application stated that • Brenda Collins represented the ' • Caldwells, Clarks and Jenkins. Ms. Collins was not representing the Caldwells. • The “Government at a Glance” . section of “Old Rag Bulletings” stated that the School Board and Library Finance Committee would meet on Tuesday, August 11.

Calling the VOF’s practices “informal,”-Mrs. Haskell recommended two procedural changes, both of which the seven-member board unanimously approved by resolution immediately after. The first change calls for a written policy requiring the foundation to give public notice of its intention to sell any foundation land, while the second calls for a policy requiring the foundation to obtain written appraisals on all properties offered for sale. Calling Mrs. Haskell’s proposals “reasonable,” Piedmont Environmental Council president Robert - Dennis cautioned against letting the pendulum swing too far. “There is some difference, and I’m not sure how you describe it, between the activities of VOF and agencies operating with funds appropriated by the General Assembly,” he said. “Most of what VOF has been able to do has been done with private philanthropy, has involved working relationships with communities of landowners, and it seems to me, given, that circumstance [of] working with philanthrophy and donated money, donated land, it may be appropriate in some cases to act somewhat differently than you would if you were dealing with land and assets appropriated by the General Assembly,” Dennis said. The VOF was chartered in 1966 and is funded only partially by the state, getting approximately $60,000 per year. The foundation’s mission is to preserve open space in Virginia by holding donated open space easements. An open space easement is a gift of specific development rights which, once given, become a permanent part of the deed. In order to protect the rural character of a parcel of land, the owner can deed any future development rights to one of several state and private agencies, but the VOF is the most prominent. The VOF, according to Mrs. Haskell’s report, holds 431 open space easements protecting almost 83,000 acres across the state, including about 5,600 in Rappahannock County and 28,000 in Fauquier. Near the end of her report, Mrs. Haskell als<» suggested other topics for discussion by the VOF directors at a planned September work session, including the development of written bylaws, a written job description for the executive director, and the development of management plans for land owned by the VOF. Oxygenated Fuels To Cut Pollution If you fill your gas tank in the D.C. Metropolitan area next winter, the fuel will contain more oxygen. Measures requiring the sale of oxygenated fuels in Northern Virginia have been approved by the Virginia Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The regulations calling for the sale of oxygenated fuels from November through Febniary will cover the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Stafford, and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park. These regulations replace the emergency regulations that went into effect last year when the oxygenated fuels were required in the Nbrthern Virginia area for the first time. The regulations are required because the carbon monoxide levels in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. exceed those approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Bacuase of its carbon monoxide levels, the area is classified by the EPA as being in “Moderate non-attainment.” The oxygenated fuel regulations were drafted by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Division of Product and Industry Regulation which is charged More Bounce to the Ounce ^ RappahanntK'k News Stall Photo/Cindy Mahan Sam Parrish has his ups and downs as he does a split on his trampoline.

The fuel program is considered integral in cutting carbon monoxide levels because stagnant air currents and cloud hold in carbon monoxide emissions from automobile exhaust during the winter months. Oxygenated fuels* which contain either ether or alcohol additives, bum cleaner because they are richer in oxygen. Tank farm operators, wholesalers or service station owners are subject to assessment of penalties for violating the regulations. “The wintertime fuel program helped improve the air last year,” noted Clinton V. Turner, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “It was tried in 38 urban areas, and improvements were reported in most of these areas.” Oversight of the oxygenated fuel program is one of several activites relating to petroleum quality which the Office of Weights and Measures in the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services administers. The Department’s Office of Weights and Measures inspects gasoline despensers for correct quantity delivered and samples and analyzes motor fuel to assure that it meets guaranteed claims. Weights and Measures also monitors installation of “Stage II” vapor recovery equipment at gas pumps in Northern Virginia and in the Richmond area to reduce gasoline vapors escaping into the atmosphere, contributing to harmful summertime ground level ozone. Croplands Removed For Conservation Rappahannock County farmers removed 794.9 acres of cropland from production this year under the Department of Agriculture’s federal Acreage Reduction Programs. This land will now be devoted to conservation practice. Jeanette Smith, County Executive Director for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), says the idle cropland includes acreage reduction land and optional acreage diversions under the 1993 program. Huge savings of soil and water resources will be realized by devoting this' acreage to conservation uses. Acreage removed from crop production by the 1993 farm programs is devoted to approved covers or it is put into conservation practices to protect it from wind and water erosion. Nationally, 19.9 million acres are being removed from crop production to conserving uses under this year’s Acreage Reduction Program. Virginia Apple Crop May Exceed 1992 Level Virginia producers expect to harvest 380 million pounds of apples in 1993 based on a July 1 survey by the Virginia Agricultural Statistics Service. This would be three percent above last year’s 370 million pounds but nearly 10 percent below the apple production of 1991. Growers experienced a normal winter and spring with no late frost or freeze. Pollination was excellent and fruit set was good. Excellent topsoil moisture and sufficient rains throughout the growing season have created ideal growing conditions and producers feel optimistic for a good crop. Virginia’s peach crop is forecast at 27 million pounds, eight percent above the previous year’s 25 million pounds.

The team and the league, for 12- to 15-year olds, owe their existence primarily to the inspiration and perspiration of league founder and president Robert McKinley. McKinley’s plans would never have come to fruition without the financial, emotional and physical support of many community businesses and individuals. Much credit is also due to coach Tony Hoffman w ho has cnly a few weeks before the first game to get his raw recruits transformed into a skillful coordinated team, and to high school coach Gary Leake who has been instrumental in signing up players and generating much of the community interest and support. Win or lose, we wish the best to the Skyline Travel Football League, and to the newest Rappahannock Panthers. In the words of coach Hoffman, may you have a learning season and a safe season, too. State GOP Still Fractured By JOHN GOOLRICK The aftermath of the bitterly contested nomination fight between Michael Farris and Bobbie Kilberg may hurt the entire Republican statewide ticket this year. GOP strategists had hoped that the party would leave the June state convention unified behind its candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, but that isn’t proving to be the case. Gubernatorial nominee George Allen and attorney general nominee Jim Gilmore seem to have picked up the vast majority of supporters of those who opposed them'for the nominations, but it appears hundreds and perhaps thousands of Kilberg supporters are not inclined to back Farris, who won the nomination for lieutenant governor. In fact, a group that may call itself either Republicans for Bever or Virginians for Beyer is ii) the formative stages now and may go public soon. Such a group would be used as a vehicle for Republicans who consider Farris a right-wing extremist to lend support to Beyer while also endorsing Allen and Gilmore. Several Republican activists have already urged such a ticket in letters to the editor of various state newspapers. A prime example of the building revolt against Farris by some party regulars occurred in Spotsylvania County, which sent a delegation to the state convention with Fanis delegates outnumbering Kilberg delegates nearly five to one. But after the convention, party regulars who still' control the local GOP committee called a special meeting and voted to give nearly all the money in the unit’s treasury to Allen and Gilmore, with none going to Farris. Farris supporters were incensed when they learned what had happened, and when the local unit held its next meeting they turned out in force to voice their displeasure. Some of the Farris supporters vowed retribution against local GOP * officials when the time comes to elect new officers. Kilberg backers who say they won’t support Farris contend the Farris forces ran roughshold over them and their candidate at the state convention and that Farris is a tool of fundamentalist interests who is far removed from the mainstream. Some say they will vote for Virginia Through Both Barrels Beyer, while others say they will simply mark ballots for governor and attorney general and not vote at all in the election for lieutenant governor. Farris supporters faced with the open hostility of former Kilberg supporters — a hostility that has not been renounced by Kilberg — angrily declare that anyone who w as a delegate to the state Republican convention and refuses to back all nominees of the party is committing -a breach of faith. Any significant defection of regulars away from Farris might sink any chance his longshot candidacy may have against Beyer, although some of his strategists contend such defections will be more than compensated for by new and enthusiastic workers and voters Farris will attract to his candidacy. Gubernatorial nominee Allen, while insisting that he and Farris agree on most issued, is nevertheless keeping his campaign distinctly separate from that of Farris, who recently contended that abortion may sometimes be a cause of breast cancer in women. > Asked about that comment, Allen said breast cancer was a serious topic and that all possible causes should be investigated. Then he went quickly on to another subject. The Farris candidacy points up what is becoming a highly divisive dilema for the state GOP, a growing rift between mainline party regulrs and conservative elements with some of their roots in fundamentalism. It is reminiscent of the liberalconservative split that rendered the Democratic Party in Virginia a political basket case throughout most of the 1970s. 1 (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is note an aide to 1st District Rep.

Kappafiannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan I Boys, Men ana Sludge To the Editor: On June 7, 1993 “the clique” sent three boys to do a man’s job. Bill Fletcher III told the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors that the use of sludge might “adversely affect tourism and real estate values.” That statement is false. One of Mr. Fletcher’s former neighbors. Avery Faulkner, sold his farm in Rappahannock and rushed to Fauquier County to buy 52.47 acres identified as Tract E, Green Acres Subdivision in Delaplane-all of which subdivision had been sludged. I know, because I was leasing Green Acres. The land value was between $6,000 and $7,000 per acre. Some of the new owners in Green Acres will be receiving sludge this year and are constantly calling Bio Gro Systems and asking when their sludge will be applied. Obviously, sludge had no adverse affect on land value. A recent article in The Rapfxihcuntoek News quotes Brooke Miller as saying his entire family opposes the application of sludge. What he did not tell you is, however, that his family does not mind selling sludged land. If you are driving in Fauquier County in the Markham area, just take Rt. 730 and you will find two realtor’s signs that read “For Sale Newbill Miller.” These signs of Mr. Millers sit on a farm belonging to Jim Butler and portions of that farm have been sludged. Phil Irwin said, “I’m deeply committed to the tourist industry.” If he was serious about tourism he would have bought a motel or a partnership in a Holiday Inn. What he really is' committed to is his hobby. I wonder how many people stay home every day from their work because Warrenton’s sewer plant on Rt. 211 stinks and they do not want to drive near the plant. Voters, this is an old trick but it does not work any more! Can you call Fletcher, Miller and Irwin experts? Their testimony given to the Board of Supervisors is what Bio Gro Systems spreads on my fields and calls sludge. JOHN HARRISON POWERS Flint Hill Basketball Camps Score To the Editor: Twenty-five boys and 19 girls attended area college basketball camps in July. The boys traveled to Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, and the girls stayed a weekend at James Madison University, Harrisonburg. Both camps had an emphasis on team skills but also gave attention to individual position work. The camps were very succsessful, not only in the measurement Ttf skill improvement, but also in areas of sportsmanship, team togetherness and self-pride. By the end of both camps, opponents, coaches and camp staff complimented and respected Rappahannock County’s teams. Hopefully the knowledge that was obtained at camp can lead to positive results bn the court in the upcoming seasons. We must all remember that effort, determination and sportsmanship are essential elements to athletics. Using this philosophy ouy teams returned home as champions.

iState GOP Leaves j Allen Out in Cold J By MAGGIE L. LAWSON if Rappahannock News SUff Writer J- The Republican Party of Vir|!ginia, which raised some $500,000 at j'a state convention in early June, has • yet to give one dime to the finan!;cially-strapped gubernatorial campaign of former Rep. George F. j'Allen. •I The two other candidates at the ' top of the GOP ticket, Michael P. J Farris, who is running for lieutenant ; governor, and James S. Gilmore, j who is seeking the attorney gener•lal’s post, are also fending for them! selves on fundraising. I Some members of the Virginia J GOP’s executive committee, a group j whose ranks include the 11 district i ;hairmen from across the state* !; 5lame Patrick McSweeney, head of J; he party, for cutting the top candiJ- lates off from the money trough, i The critics said they also have i juestions about how state party rev| *nues, reportedly tallying close to $1 J nillion in the first six months of J 993, are being spent. Approxi• nately 14,000 delegates forked out ! >35 each to attend the state convenJ ion in early June. ' J McSweeney “unilaterally” de1 :ided not to provide money for the ! statewide ticket, on grounds that ! funding for those races was not in J the budget, said 10th District GOP J chairman James Rich of Middleburg. • The issue of funding for the ! statewide GOP ticket came up at a ! meeting of the party’s executive [ committee in June, several weeks af[ ter the state convention, Rich said. • “It was a very poor move on the 1 part of the state chairman," Rich said. ”A lot of us thought it was abSplutly crazy.” ^ Donald C. Williams, of Cheaspeake, who is the party’s 4th district chairman, said executive committee members “without exception” Bunted to give the three candidates money to help them jumpstart their campaigns. V‘J “We were not able to vote,” Wil']|ms said. “There was a motion placed on the floor, and it was ruled out of order by McSweeney.” JU“ McSweeney could not be reached lor comment this week, j"'. Rich Jefferson, director of communications and research for the Estate GOP, said party rules concernling the budget left no place for funding the three statewide races. Jefferson said the GOP has reasons for not contributing directly to ‘\-fte top ticket. “There are a lot of people asking for help,” he said. The state GOP is providing money for the 77 Republican candidates for the state House of Delegates, he said. Allen said he has always had a good relationship with McSweeney. “We’re obviously trying to raise money, but this is not going to make or break us,” he said. “We’re not going to ask the state party to do something that is contrary to their own rules.” Allen said the party is contributing to his race in other ways, helping set up fundraisers, working phone banks and organizing get-out-thevote campaigns. In documents filed with the state election board July 15, Allen reported total contributions of more than $1 million, and expenditures of more than $990,000. Mary Sue Terry, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, had raised nearly $4 million, more than three times as much as Allen. Her campaign had spent more than $1 million, according to the financial reports. Terry has received thousands of dollars from political action committees across the nation, as well as substantial donations from corporations and individuals across the state. In spite of Terry’s flush coffers, the Virginia Democratic Party chipped in with $49,000, the documents showed. Lt. Gov. Donald S. Beyer Jr., who is seeking reelection, reported an in-kind contribution of $5,000 from the Virginia Democratic Party. Mark Rozell, a political science professor at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, said, “It’s hard for me to speculate why the state Republican party hasn’t contributed to George Allen’s campaign. It’s absolutely necessary that he have large sums of money.” Jefferson, of the state GOP, said the Republicans’ system, unlike that of the DemocratsV^llows for local party organizations to contribute directly to candidates, he said. However, financial records in Richmond, showed that as of June 30, Allen had received few contributions from local party organizations. The Suffolk Republican Party contributed $250; the Republican Women’s Club of Western Fairfax gave $1,000; the Charlotte County GOP contributed $1,500; and the Culpeper County Republican Committee donated $1,200. I Farris received $200 from the James River Republican Women. Rich and Williams said they are concerned about where the state party is spending its money. “We’ve just recently been given a copy of the budget,” Rich said. “It ' seems that they’re spending a lot on overhead. We should have more accountability.” “McSweeney has always struck me as someone who was conservative with a dollar bill,” Williams said, but he added that he too has major concerns about where the state party’s money is going. He said financial reports, which had been coming out monthly, were delayed during the second quarter of * 1993. “When we finally got the reports, I had something like sticker shock,” said Williams. “There was an awful lot of financial activity.” Jefferson defended the Republicans’ actions and said, “It is obvious that those gentlemen don’t want to work within the party structure. People who ride off on their own, tilting at windmills, do not help us achieve our goals.” “It seems they’re spending an awful lot on overhead, on staff,” said Rich, who added that he wants to see more accountability regarding funds. Rozell said much of the party’s money is used for ongoing operations such as salaries and office space. The state party’s executive committee will meet Aug. 16, to deal w ith the funding issues.

The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) estimates that 186 people in Rappahannock County were looking for employment but couldn’t find jobs in June, versus 178 unemployed the month before. The unemployment rate for all of Planning District 9, which includes the counties of Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange was 4.6 percent. The lowest rate, 3.9, was in Fauquier County, which is also the most populous county in the district and the closest to the metropolitan D.C. area. Mr. Robert R. Hale-Cooper, job service manager at the VEC in Culpeper, attributes much of the rise to graduating high school students who are seeking work. “Normally it takes high school graduates about six weeks to find a job,” he said, “but " these days it is taking somew-hat longer.” BINGO CHANGING DAYS FROM THURSDAY TO TUESDAY Effective Immediately AT Front Royal Moose Lodge Doors open at 5:30 p.m. No Checks Please Real Estate i Eileen M. Day REALTOR TRADE-UP FINANCE TIP In the past, trade-up buyers tended to roll over all the equity from their previous home into the new home. Then they took out loans to furnish the house or buy a new car. That no longer makes good fiscal sense, since consumer interest in no longer tax deductible. Yet, many trade-up buyers find it hard to change buying habits. Buyers moving up to a new home in the 1990 s have a unique opportunity to save money and improve their financial picture. The formula? Borrow more on the new house and Use the cash for furnishings, landscaping, or a car or to save for future financial needs such as college expenses. By making a low down payment, buyers can maximize their mortgage interest deduction and lower their after-tax payments. This low down payment strategy isn't for eveiyone. The ideal candidate is a move-up buyer who has a strong income, substantial cash reserves, and good credit If there is anything we can do ■ to help you in the Reid of real estate, please stop in at EILEEN M.

Most textbook fees will remain the same: $29 for kindergarten, $39 for grades 1-3, $49 for grades 4-7, and $8.20 per book for high school books. Breakfast and lunch prices will also be the same: $1.00 at the elementary school and $1.25 at the high school for lunch. Elementary school breakfast will cost $.65. Prices for those who qualify for reduced price meals will also remain the same: $.40 for lunch and $.30 for breakfast. The optional kindergarten snack costs $.35. However, the cost for the optional school insurance has increased for the coming year, and prices for certain high school books which students buy rather than rent have increased. The fee for behind-the wheel drivers’ education increased from $35 to $60, and parking permits for high school students will incVease from $18 to $20 for the coming year. Dr. Gangel reported that class schedules for high school students were mailed out this week. He said he expects this to simplify fee day at the high school, since those students who need to change their schedules can do so before fee day. ; * The board approved additions to * the teachers’ and students’ hand- * books to cover sexual harassment.

Stripcropping Has Numerous Benefits By JOHN JEFFRIES Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On your travels through the area you may notice some field that are using parallel field strips. Not only are they pretty to look at, but they greatly reduce soil erosion. With the technical knowledge and cost-share funds that are available through the Chesapeake Bay Program and ASCS offices, stripcropping is an excellent way to preserve the land and keep it in good conservation use. Throughout the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, which includes the counties of Rappahannock, Madison, Culpeper, Greene and Orange, there were approximately 600 acres of stripcropping installed in 1992. Field strips are a system of stripcropping in which crops are grown in parallel strips laid across the general slope of the land, but not necessarily on the contour. Stips of close growing hay crops such as grasses and clovers or alfalfa are excellent with the strip of corn. There are several benefits in having a stripcropping system in The Best Gift To Give This Year Requires Very Little Wrapping Blood. The Best Gift Of All. American Red Cross Mid-Atlantic Regional Blood Services stalled. The close growing hay strips' anchor the topsoil in place on the> steep hillside. These strips also al-l low the winter rains and snow melt' to soak into the ground avoiding soilj. erosion, washed out areas and gul-; lies. Field strips work with crop ro-! tation, allowing hay strips to berotated with cultivated ones. This’ gives the land a rest and a change to, renew7 itself. > For example, using legume hay crops such as alfalfa in strips fix nitrogen and may be rotated with corn strips to take advantage of this free nitrogen, helping to cut the fertiliser bill. Stripcropping also slows runoff and increases infiltration which can provide crops with needed moisture during periods of dry w eather. The improved use of moisture, fertilizer and chemicals can produce higher yields and lower input costs. T If you are interested in a layout of field strips, contact the SCS at 825-4200.

In addition to reciprocal privileges, Culpeper Library has graciously loaned 50 books from their large type collection to the Rappahannock Library. Rappahannock, in turn will send volumes to the Culpeper Library so that both collections will be refreshed every three months. Patrons are encouraged to inform friends, relatives and neighbors who need large print materials. Anyone interested in specific titles is encouraged to write down their requests at the front desk. Librarian Nieki Lynch stated that as many requests as possible will be accommodated. Currently, the exchange books feature some best sellers, westerns, mysteries and literature. As an added convenience these books are to be returned to the Rappahannock Library. In another interlibrary exchange. Fauquier County Library has agreed to reciprocal borrowing privileges with Rappahannock. A person wishing to check out , materials needs only provide current identification with a current address.

From Traditionalto Modern, Wood Is the Art at Middle Street By PHILIP C. STRANGE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “The Wood Show" at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington through August 29 is a must see. Approximately twenty craftsmen have put their talents out on the floor and up on the walls for you to sit on, open and close, scrutinize, enjoy and even purchase. This is the third year of the exhibition and it has drawn woodworkers from as far away as Texas and as close as your back yard. As you approach the gallery, you are greeted by Etlan Sculpter Jim Fort’s large flat whimsical faces speaking to each other out of their triangular mouths. The piece is appropriately titled “You don't say!” A majority of the traditional pieces are made of walnut, as is the case with all three of Mark Pace’s works. There is some beautiful grain in the doors of his Chippendale cabinet. Berkley Hobson's line and berry bible box is a lovely piece. John Robson’s sandblasted Norway maple pyramid, reminding me of the texture of the Blue Ridge, but not the shape. The piece has a comfortable, time worn feel about it that would have been more success ful of the base were made of one type of wood instead of three. A Merit Award was won by David Botts for his inticate end table of lacewood through tenons on the top surrounded by turquoise crushed and mixed with epoxy and inlaid on the surface. This gives the piece a South-western native American feel about it that is very pleasant. Another Merit Award was won by architect joiner Andrew Peklo of Woodberv, Connecticut for this walnut and leather chain. This piece is easy on the eve and a real comfort to sit in. Andy has three other pieces in the show, the most spectacular of which is a si.xfoot tall jewelerv box/treasure chest of securnda for sale for $11.66b! Jack Abbott of Fredericksburg, has several pieces, the^pf of which is a walnut and maple turning that catche^and keeps your attention. Perhaps the most spectacular piece comes from Luray thanks to John Coleman. It is a large multi-specied wood and silk armoir that reminded me of a cocoon when I first saw it but made other think of Cinderalla’s coach. The piece was available for $36,000. their children and make it a record year for summer reading, as the program not only beneifts young readers, but the improvement of the library as well. Rappahannock National Bank has generously agreed to donate $1 to the library building fund for every 2 “E” or easy books or 150 pages of a “J” or juvenile book read and recorded. The staff would also like to encourage all participates to thank the local merchants and community groups who donated prizes. A list of donors is available in the children’s section. Taking part in library programs is just one way parents can encourage reading. They can set an example by using the library often and checking out materials themselves. It has been shown that one of the keys to success in school is having good reading skills. The best way to promote good skills is to have parent child interaction. Parents can start by reading to children, even infants, at the child’s appropriate developmental and interest level. The library staff is available to help parents choose ageappropriate material. Even older children can enjoy having books or articles read to them. Once a child is an independent reader, a parent can continue interest by listening to their child read and talk about the books afterward. School-age children might enjoy discusssions of subject matter and hunts to find out more about what they have read or books on similar subjects. Reference volumes and the card catalog at the library are excellent starting points for research trips, and learning the use of these aides will further develop skills for school. The library adds approximately 200 items per month, of which nearly one quarter are childrens offerings. Almost 50 percent of these items are donated. Donations to the collection are always appreciated, several local patrons noting a lack of books in their particular area of interest or expertise have donated several volumes or even entire series of books. A fund raiser designed to add to or refurbish classic literature for adults and children is in the works. Group Departs For Papal Visit By MARCY LYNN And KATIE LYNN Rappahannock News Contributing Writers On Saturday, August 7, eight members of St. Peter’s Catholic Church began their pilgrimage to Denver, Colorado to participate in World Youth Day ‘9:5. This event, set for August 10-15. is to drawyoung people from 70 nations and include the participation of Pope John Paul II. The international meeting for World Youth is celebrated in a different country every other year, with a theme for each celebration. This year’s theme is “I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly." (John 10:10) The participants will not only be gathering with the Holy Father, but also learning about the Church. With thousands of young people from around the world they will experience many religious, cultural, and social events that will help them understand their Catholic identity and encourage them to commit themselves to Christ in a truly “universal” and unified manner. The group from St. Peter’s led by Pamela Lynn, includes, in addition to Marcy Lynn and Katie Lynn. Andy Hibl, Lisa Hibl, Elizabeth Nugent, Mary Dee Ellis and Welby Lynn. They will travel bv van and stay with a host family an hour’s ride from Denver. We made the group commemorative T-shirts with the insignia of St. Peter-crossed keys over an upside down cross and the papal insignia-a blue shield, crossed keys and tiara (pope’s crown). We hope to give one of the T-shirts to the Pope!

But it takes an artist to keep the process going until deep friendship happens. "If friendships were easy," declared Andrew Greeley, "there would be a lot more of them in the world." And developing deep friendship is not easy because it is an art, and no art comes quickly or easily. Aristotle contended that "The business of everv-art is to bring something into existence, and the practice of any art involves studying how to bring this something into existence." Friendship, as an art, demands patience. Many could-be friendships never happen because people get in a hurrv to develop closeness and intimacy Friendships that rush into intimacy are seldom lasting ones. In our hurried and mobile society we have placed "rush" stickers on the i package of friendship without also 1 stenciling "fragile" on it. j Ralph Waldo Emerson gives comfort f and courage: i' 'Every artist wits vine an amateur."

Campers Learn International Cooking By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent. Home Economies -r At 4-H Day Camp which was held the week of June 28-July 2, Toni Updike and Sarah Brown taught the 4-H cooking class. This year the prepared international foods each day featuring foods from France, Japan, Mexico and Italy. We received a $50 donation from the Virginia Cattlewomen’s Association to purchase groceries to teach the lesson on Beef Cookery and Nutrition. Mrs. Updike used beef in the lesson on Japanese cookery and taught campers about the nutrients in beef. The campers also learned how to prepare a marinade to season and tenderize the meat. When the campers were preparing the Cook-out Pizzas on the fourth day, Mrs. Brown taught them the correct way to light the charcoal fire and how to extinguish it. She explained safety rules to follow when doing outdoor cookery. One other thing the campers learned and practiced each day is the correct way to clean up and wash and sanitize the cooking utensils when cooking outdoors. Here are the recipes from 4-H Day Camp. The campers enjoyed them. I hope you will, too.

BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer For the third consecutive year, friends and family met at the fire hall in Washington, Va. for their annual reunion. By 10 a.m. all facets of preparation from the organizers were completed. The next two hours one never heard so much talking and visiting. A very warm crowd of about 80, kept cool by the hard working air conditioning and fans. At 12:30 p.m. our business meeting began. After counting the yeahs and nays in voting matters, we concluded business with the presentation of gifts to our various categories. The categories and winners were: Oldest family member present, Ida Dwyer Cornell; Most generations present, Ida Dwyer '"amell; Youngest family member present, Luke Bedortha; and the oldest married couple, Clyde and Lillie Dwyer Pullen (58 years). Joseph J. Dwyer of Middletown, Virginia offered the Thanksgiving prayer before our lunch began. Lunch being topped off with some bakery items presented by our cousins, Clara Settle and Mary Gardenhour, who incidently made our reunion cake. Tables bearing the feast were each donned with floral contributions by Jeanie Dwyer and Sally D. Keyser. Jack Dwyer, from Black Rock Farm. Washington, Virginia our distant cousin (somehow), but we don’t know’ the degree at this time, gave our audience a wonderful dialogue on his Irish kindred. Jack has been to Ireland many times, and knows his Irish roots and family well. One of the old Dwyer Clan seats is Dundrum; about six miles from Tipperary Towrn in County Tipperary. Jack's family wTas nearer to Carrick-On-Suir than Dundrum, near to wrhich is a family cemetery. Within this cemetery are buried only Dwyers, which indicates howr important a sect or clan they were. His ancestors immigrated about 1750 to New' York. In 1773 they went back to Ireland. Today within a short distance from waterford, Ireland there are approximately 200 to 300 relatives. Most of the earlier families consisted of 10 to 12 children per family. An interesting note was that when Christianity was being introduced in Ireland, the Druids, of which the Dwyers were members, incorporated it with their beliefs. One of the hallmarks of this "incorporation” was the symbols of the Oak Tree and Water. Druid, or Druids, is Celtic in origin. They were members of an-order of priests in ancient Gaul and Rritian who appear in Welsh and Irish legend as prophets and sorcerers. Celtic being a sub family of the IndoEuropean language family comprising the Brythonic and the Goidelic branches. While clearing the family cemetery in Ireland about 15 years ago. Jack informed us a fragmented Druid Cross was found. It was turned over to the government, officially listed and is currently housed under guard. Jack also pointed out that the Dwyers still in Ireland are quite interested in their American cousins. He commented that “history comes full circle,” that the land in our motherland is almost indentical to Rappahannock by way of geography and topography. Special thanks and notice go to our little cousin, Jason Pullen, who attended the drink table. He has gone to great lengths for the past two years and deserves to be recognized for his tremendous efforts. It has been established that the . third Saturday in July from now on unless a new vote is taken, will be the day of our reunion. That date in 1994 will be the lfith! Mark it down and don’t forget. Tipperary, as Jack put it, “The Golden Vale,” is very historic, and has lots of farms. The Golden "Vail" for me is that sheer bit of history, documentation etc., that separates us from finding our own Irish ancestors, and the connection with our friend. Jack.
