PA® CIRCULATION NOW 2,950 Sublet to ABC Audit RAPPAHANNOCK HOUSEHOLDS 45th Year, No. 37 16 pages Bureau of circulation WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1993 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3338 cents Board Rejects Sludge By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors again voted to ban sludge following a public hearing last Wednesday, but the vote was closer, 3 to 2. The supervisors took up an amendment to the zoning ordinance to ban the land application of sludge after the Planning Commission had voted 4 to 2 to recommend the amendment be adopted. The supervisors voted 4 to 1 earlier this summer to ban sludge. That required that an amendment be drawn up and presented to the Planning Commission. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham joined the majority in the earlier vote, but joined Chairman Hubert Gilkey in voting against the amendment last week. The debate in the public hearing followed the pattern set in previous hearings on the subject. Supporters of the land application of sludge argued that there is no evidence that sludge is unsafe, and it is arbitrary to single out that one practice when there is no county control of such agricultural practices as the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Opponents of sludge argued that there is no way to guarantee that sludge is safe, and that many agricultural practices once recommended have since been found to be unsafe or unwise. Patricia Saltonstall asked whether such an ordinance amendment could stand a court challenge. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke cited a 1984 opinion by former Attorney General Gerald Baliles that such an ordinance could be adopted and would be “presumed to be valid, but it must be reasonable and not arbitrary, it must be uniform in its operation, and it must bear a real and substantial relation to the public health, safety...or welfare.” Mr. Luke said, as elected officials, the supervisors would have to decide whether the “public health and safety requires the amendment.” Speaking for the amendment John Clark Jr. said, “You’ve got the bull by the horns now. Don’t release him and try to hang on by the tail or he’ll kick the sludge out of you.” See Sludge, Page A-8 Creen Crass Croup Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Amelia Parrish, left, assists her dad, Chris, and brother Issac as they get ready to cut the grass in their yard in Viewtown.

Council Passes Zoning, Meets in New Quarters It was a bunch of firsts for the Town Council of Washington last week. They sat down in their colonial Clore chairs for the first time, gathered around the handsome new Peter Kramer table and went to work for their first meeting in the Town Hall. The Council, after some discussion and minor changes and a public hearing at which nobody spoke, approved the Zoning Ordinance. They also accepted a $3,000 grant for the fire department, appointed Steve Critzer to the Planning Commission, and approved the application of the Ki Theatre for a street fair next month during the Crossroads 1993 festival. The proposed zoning ordinance was opened for public discussion. After 30 seconds of silence Mayor Dear Morehouse declared the public session over, and opened the discussion to Council members. During discussion, Council members clarified the appeals section ol the Zoning Ordinance to make it clear that unfavorable zoning decisions are appealed first to the Board of Zoning Appeals, and then to the Circuit Court. Definitions of kennels, bread and breakfast establishments and hardship cases were revised or made less ambiguous.

Lower Enrollment To Reduce State Aid Schools Face $72,000 Slash By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Enrollment at the two public schools is below last year’s level and considerably below’ the level of 1,040 used in putting together the current school budget. The enrollment as of Tuesday was 986, 377 at the high school and 609 at the elementary school. School Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board he estimates that the Average Daily Membership through March, which is used in computing state aid will be 993. The difference in state aid between 1,040 anticipated and 993 will be $72,000, he said. Dr. Gangel said he will set $72,000 aside and not spend it. “We will try to set monies aside that will not affect the classroom,” he said. He added that he feels this can be done without endangering the budget. Later the School Board voted to spend nearly $10,700 that was not in the budget to make a part-time teaching position full time. Richard Smith, who has been working as an administrative assistant part time and as a teacher part time, will work as an administrative assistant full time. Emily Wingate, who is working part time with Mr. Smith’s sixthgrade students wiH teach full time. Mr. Smith’s part time administrative position was included in the budget this year to free up time for assistant superintendent Robert Chappell to work as “clerk of the works” for the elementary school addition. One of Mr. Smith’s duties was to work on developing policies to minimize the kinds of environmental problems that resulted from repairs to the elementary school roof last spring. Dr. Gangel said that the further Mr. Smith delved into the environmental aspects of board policies the more potential problems were uncovered. “He started in August,” Dr. Gangel said. “It immediately mushroomed on a massive, massive basis... It’s very frightening to see all the potential liability.” He recommended that Mr. Smith’s administrative position be full-time. The board voted 4 to 0 to spend the additional funds to hire Miss Wingate full-time. The board members said they expected that the administrative position would only be for one year. Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative John Tole abstained on the vote. He said he felt the school system is already ahead of most others in addressing environSee Schools, Page A-8 Crowd Cheers North At County GOP Rally By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Lt. Col. Oliver North spread enthusiasm and optimism to a cheering "audience of 175 during a 10-minute speech at the Rappahannock County Republican Rally in Amissville last weekend. The group was reputedly the largest gathering of Republicans in Rappahannock County history. Although other local GOP politicians and candidates also attended and spoke, it was obvious that North was the magnet drawing the crowd to the rally and chicken barbecue dinner at the Amissville Fire and Rescue Squad. ' North has often been mentioned as a candidate for U.S. Senator for Virginia in 1995, but has never declared his intentions. When questioned before his main speech, he See North, Page A-8 Rappahannock News Staff Photo Bruce Sloanc Rep.

Dogs, Loitering Generate Complaints By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sheriff John Henry Woodward told the Board of Supervisors last Wednesday he is receiving many complaints about loitering in Sperryville, dogs running loose, and target shooting in residential areas, but there is nothing he can do about these complaints. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said the supervisors could enact an ordinance banning target shooting in certain developed areas, but they would have to define the boundaries of those areas, such as villages and subdivisions. He said the problem of loitering comes and goes, but it is difficult to enforce laws against it “from a consitutional point of view. Such ordinances fail to distinguish between what is permitted and what isn’t,” he said. “You want to prohibit the wrong kind of people from hanging around, but how do you distinguish the right and wrong kind of people?” he said. He added that in Washington, the town and sheriff had been able to reduce the loitering problem by using existing laws, such as laws against trespass, destruction of property, and “curse and abuse.” Sheriff Woodward said he had received complaints of people throwing things against houses, but the people are gone when he or his deputies arrive. Piedmont District representative said many of the loiterers are juveniles who are on the streets “at all hours.” He asked if the parents could be made responsible for the juveniles’ behavior. Mr. Luke said the juvenile courts would not hold parents responsible, but sometimes the juvenile is ordered to make restitution. He said some of the loiterers are from Madison and Fairfax counties. “When you get people congregating, pretty soon you have drugs, and then pretty soon you have guns,” he said. Hampton District representative Mike Massie asked if the “vicious v. See Sups, Page A*8

Employment Steady But County Loses Jobs : ByBRUCESLOANE i Rappahannock New> SUIT Writer , Unemployment held steady in ' Rappahannock County at 5.4 percent in July, the same as the state •rate, and 1.5 points below the national average of 6.9 percent, ; according to figures released last I week by the Virginia Employment Commission. • This is the first time in more than a year that the county unemployment rate has not been higher than ,the state rate. In July 1992, for ex• ample,Rappahannock County recorded a 7.3 percent unemployment "rate, while the rate for the entire state was 6.1 percent. • The unemployment rate for Plan/ning District 9, which includes the counties of Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange also held steady at 4.6 percent. Most counties showed little change, except for Culpeper where the unemployment rate grew to 6.5 percent from 5.9 percent the month before. The VEC said that the PD-9 rates held steady “despite the summer layoffs of school employees and normal vacation plant closings.” The rates do not reflect any August changes, such as closings and reopenings at the Aileen plant in Flint Hill. Although VEC shows that the number of unemployed in Rappahannock County has remained steady since April, 1993 at about 180, their Unemployment Steady The jobless rate in Rappahannock County held constant at 5,4 percent in July, the most recent month reported. »«<■ V- c - V %' - -x - - ■> *& Rappahannock■■ Culpeper ———m US.

Plane Crash Narrowly Misses Loaded School Bus 1 By JOHN BRETSCHNEIDER Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer I Harold Dailey saw the explosion as his school bus rounded the bend on Route 710 heading into Marshall at 3:45 p.m. last Friday. ;> Stopping the bus, Dailey and the 50 students on Fauquier County’s Bus 155 from Northwestern and Coleman Elementary Schools witnessed the burning remains of the Piper Turbo Lance II airplane that had crashed in the road several hundred yards ahead of them.. ' According to Dailey, the plane was engulfed in flames when he arrived at the scene. He said that many of the children on the bus were frightened when they saw the accident. ' “I hurriedly turned the bus around,” Dailey said. “The children saw the fire, but they never really did see the flames up close.” Had the bus arrived a minute and a half earlier as it neared its first stop, it may have become involved in the accident. “I don’t even want to think about that, Dailey said. Within minutes, fire and rescue crews from Marshall arrived and extinguished the flames from the sixseater plane. By the time firefighters used foam to douse the fire there was little recognizable of the Piper airplane, except the burned-out engine and the tail section, which had been severed from the fuselage as the plane crashed into a utility pole. Both the pilot, Steven Dickson of Topeka, Kan. and his passenger, Dr. Stanley B. Heard of Hot Springs Ark. were killed in the Sept. 10 crash, according to State Police spokesman Lucy Caldwell. Investigators were able to make an identification based on documents that were found at the scene, including a pilot’s license that survived the fire. According to National Transportation Safety Board investigator Margaret Napolitan, the single-engine plane declared an emergency, informing the tower at Dulles Air port that it had a fire on board just moments before the crash. The plane, headed from Dulles to St. Louis, was near Gainesville when it reported the on-board fire and was given instructions to make an emergency landing at a private airstrip owned by Paul Mellon at Rokeby Farm in Upperville. But the flight ended six miles short of Rokeby, crashing at the edge of a field owned by Virginia Beef Company along Route 710, about 100 yards north of the Southern Railroad crossing and a populated neighborhood near Marshall. Dickson, the pilot, had rented the plane from Air Spirit Aviation in St. Louis when his own aircraft developed engine trouble and needed repairs en route to Dulles. Dickson was returning to St. Louis to pick up his own plane when the crash occured. Napolitan, who is in charge of the NTSB investigation, said in a recent interview that Dickson was an experienced pilot, with 1,600 flight hours, a commercial certificate, and single-engine instrument and multiengine land ratings. Napolitan also said that the aircraft, tail number N-2207B, had been inspected within the past 100 hours of flying time. Napolitan said that the plane appeared to clip a tree and hit the ground three times before striking the electric pole and bursting into flames. The crash, which split the pole and knocked down an electrical transformer, caused an eight-hour power outage to over 500 homes, according to a Virginia Power spokesman. Napolitan said it may take six months to a year before the NTSB determines a cause for the fatal mishap. An inspection of the aircraft’s engine is scheduled for Sept. 15 at the Don Aeronautics facility in Wilmington, Del. “We’re still gathering information ourselves,” Napolitan said of the investigation. The aircraft, which crashed %sJH GRAND OPENING Saturday, Sept. 18 10 am - 2 pm *e A *«■ 1s» Horse and Pet Supplies Rt. 522, Old Packing House, Flint Hill 703-675-1650 Come in and try on apair of Arait Boots and receive FREE GIFT while supply lasts!

Katzen, Republican candidate for the 31st House of Delegates District, which includes Rappahannock, came to the county last Wednesday and came by the Rappahannock News office for an interview. Mr. Katzen lives in Markham in Fauquier County. He moved into the 31st District in the summer of 1992, but he had lived near The Plains in Fauquier County for the previous eight years. Mr. Katzen formerly worked with the U.S. State Department and was stationed in Africa and Romania. He now advises American corporations in the oil and energy fields on foreign investments. He and his wife Paddy, the Fauquier County litter and recycling coordinator, have three sons. The oldest, Tim, is in surgical residency after graduating in medicine from the Medical College of Virginia. His middle son, David, graduated from Marshall Junior High and Wakefield School and is a senior at the University of Kentucky. Their youngest son, James, graduated from Marshall Junior High and Fauquier High School and is a sophomore at the Massacusetts Institute of Technol ogy. At times Mr. Katzen seemed to be running against Mary Sue Terry, the Democratic candidate for governor, rather than incumbent Democratic Del. Jerry Wood, but he did criticize Mr. Wood both for being controlled by the power brokers in Richmond and for bragging about his ability to get funds for the district from Richmond. Mr. Katzen attacked Ms. Terry for “running away” from the issue of the state’s obligation to federal pensioners for state income taxes they paid on their federal pensions, which the Supreme Court said were illegal. He said she had also run away from the issue of what to do about VMI. Mr. Katzen also said Ms. Terry did not make certain as Attorney General that the names of convicted felons were put in the computers used by gun dealers for instant background checks. He opposes Ms. Terry’s proposal for a five-day waiting period for guns saying “instant background checks can work, but they can only work when all the names are in the computers.” On VMI, Mr. Katzen said, “I’d like to see VMI keep the tradition it’s had. There is value in the VMI experience; it has served Virginia well.” He said he believes a compromise can be worked out, and he would favor developing a parallel program for woman students, perhaps at Virginia Tech. On monies owed to federal retirees for taxes paid on pensions, Mr. Katzen said he favored proposals being worked out by Republicans to offer them stretched out tax credits or tax free bonds. Mr. Katzen criticises the Democratic administration for cutting state aid to higher education, forcing tuition at state colleges and universities up. He also favors spending more money to build prisons, but he said tax increases won’t be needed because under a Republican administration a “line by line” review of state spending and regulation will uncover ways to reduce current spending and mandates. He said one of the first things a Republican administration would do is eliminate funds for a new office building in Richmond to house the state lottery. Mr. Katzen favors tax credits or vouchers for parents who send their children to private or parochial schools and allowing home-schooled children access to special classes in public schools as well as school libraries and sports programs. On abortion Mr. Katzen said he is opposed to abortion as a means of birth control or to select the sex of a child. He said he would support laws to require a minor to get parental permission before getting an abortion, to require a 24-hour waiting period for an abortion and to require that a woman getting an abortion be offered literature on alternatives. He said he would oppose laws to restrict the right of a woman to obtain an abortion in cases or rape, incest, threat to the mother’s life, of severe fetal abnormality. On crime, Mr. Katzen favors mandatory sentences, making prisoners work to help cover the cost of their support, and giving juries access to criminal records, including juvenile records, prior to sentencing.

North's Candidacy Most of us are filled with outrage and rightousness when we hear about those charged with criminal acts who escape conviction in court because of techicalities or loopholes in the law. The defendant can even admit committing the crime, but because of what may be a minor slip someplace in the legal system, the defendant goes free. Lt. Col. Oliver North falls in that category. North was convicted of three felony counts stemming from his activities as a staff member of the National Security Council in the 1980s. North acknowledged to Congress that he misled members of that group to cover up his covert work, that he illegally shredded documents, and that he used money from the sales of arms to build a security fence around his home. His secretary testified that North asked her to conceal documents in her underwear to smuggle them out of the office. North’s convictions were later overturned on the grounds that the testimony he gave before Congress was privileged, and because it was privileged it could not be used in a court of law to convict him. North now feels that all this is behind him, and writes it off as “a learning experience.” And this experience, says North, qualifies him to run for U.S. Senator. North has become a folk hero to many, and has been shrewd enough to turn his experiences into a best-selling book and a chance to run for national office. His speeches before Boy Scouts and other groups stress the buzzwords of law and order, patriotism, God and country. These are peculiar themes for one who escaped prison solely because of a loophole. If you’ve read this far, you probably know we feel that North’s candidacy is a travesty and an insult to the American people. We hope enough voters see through North’s hoopla and ballyhoo and soundly reject him as a candidate for anything. A Brea th of Cool A ir ! The first cool night last week after one of the hottest summers on record was a delight - low humidity, a refreshing breeze, very few bugs, and stars so bright that the Milky Way lit up the sky like a beacon. There may be some hot spells ahead, but the back of the heat has been broken. The summer was not only hot, it was dangerously dry. Farmers are suffering a near drought, and forest fires may be a real danger if rain does not come soon. Now we need the weatherman to send us some rain to go with the cool spell.

Tier III for All of Hazel To the Editor: I am writing in response to your editorial on the nominations of local rivers to the Tier III classification as exceptional waters. As a resident of Culpeper County and cosponsor of the nomination of the Hazel River I must object to your suggestion that the section of the Hazel River that flows through Culpeper County be tossed out of the nomination. I believe that the Culpeper portion of the Hazel River is indeed of exceptional quality, supports a varied wildlife and aquatic habitat, and is a great recreational resource. It is, possible that the Water Control Board staff will recommend to its Board that only portions of the river should be accepted, or that new nominations of several separate sections will be necessary. I intend to pursue the nomination as a whole. The quality of this river should be protected by Planning Commisssions and respected by developers and other citizens. A national treasure like clean water cannot belong to any one jurisdiction, nor should it be bargained away. I firmly believe rivers like the Hazel should remain unpolluted and that the Tier III classification program is a very farsignted understaking by the State of Virginia Water Control Board and the E.P.A. SALLY MELLO Rixeyville Main Facts Ignored , To the Editor: Apparently the underlying point of my letter of several weeks ago was lost on the one person to whom it was directed. It appears that Mr. Powers believes stating the facts to support his side of an argument is not enough and that name calling and character assasination not to mention belittling of higher education on a wholesale basis is the preferred method of proving his point. While sorely tempted to do so, I will refrain from responding to his juvenile taunts and instead state a few facts that he appears to so desperately want to avoid. First, the only benefit to allowing sludge application in the county will be a financial savings to the few farmers whose property qualifies for such application. There is no “environmental” benefit in that at the present time there is no shortage of properties in other places who are willing to accept sludge on their land. In other words, there is a big demand for this stuff elsewhere and as long as that is the case, why should we take it here? If, in the future, this situation changes and sludge continues to prove to have no short or long term negative effects on the land, then perhaps we could reconsider the ban at that time. In the meantime, saving a few landowners a few dollars is hardly reason enough to open this county to the application of a substance that is still being studied and which has new regulations heaped upon its use with every passing year. Second, the land values quoted by Mr. Powers in Fauquier county are worthless as far as supporting his arguments in that they offer no comparison to values of comparable land that has never had sludge application. There is no doubt that the va lues of the parcels he mentioned have indeed risen but I imagine that there are other factors that have influenced this rise, not the least of which being the over-all increase in all land values in this area between 1985 and today. Lastly, my credentials that Mr. Powers dismissed so easily consist of five-plus years as a member of the Rappahannock Water & Sewer Authority, current and past president of the Sperryville Business Council, member of the Board of Zoning Appeals, and, most importantly, father of a four-month-old daughter whom I hope to see grow up and enjoy this county as I have been able to do. I am sure that Mr. Powers has many substantial credentials of his own but there is one which I do not believe he has and I would politely suggest he add at his earliest convenience - completion of an intensive course of study of the nearest charm school. JAMES E. SWINDLER II Sperryville Boards Made Correct Decision To the Editor: I wish to applaud the Planning Board and the Board of Supervisors for their ban on sludge use in the county. Sludge is being used in many places around the country as fertilizer; a use that sounds wonderful since it recycles sewage waste, cutting down on one of the more serious problems we face as a nation. Sludge is supposed to be a product composed of human organic waste processed to remove the odor and bacteria making it a useful and safe fertilizer. It could be a good source of nutrients needed for crops and pastures. However, the realities of sludge are a great deal different than the proponents would have us believe. For starters, everything gets dumped into the sewage system in a large city, from gasoline of photographic chemicals, from automobile oil to lawn chemicals. And if that is not enough toxic waste, plenty of industrial wastes are dumped into the sewage, even though regulations are supposed to control their output. There are many reputable companies whose waste output is well within the legal limits, but there are also many companies who either push the law to its limit, or just ignore the laws until they are caught, and their illegal waste is dumped into the sewer system. Do we really want all of these toxins spread on our fields, to then wash into the streams? I am a veterinarian who practices holistic medicine (acupuncture, chiropractic, and homeopathy) on horses, and as such I spend a lot of my time looking at the nutritional status of my patients. In order to be successful with holistic medicine it is extremely important that the nutritional status of the animals is good, and that they do not have toxins built up in their bodies. With horses (and other species, including man) the skin and hair are excellent ways to gauge internal health. The skin is actually the largest organ in the body and it reflects very well what is going on inside. Horses who have been on sludged pastures generally have a dull coat that bleaches out easily, especially in the summer-, time. This phenomenon also occurs when the nutritional status is less than ideal, but has been consistently seen with horses from sludged pastures, even when the nutritional status is good. When these same horses are removed from sludged pastures and provided with nutrients to detoxify tj?em, their coats shine and do not bleach out significantly anymore. This indicates to me that they have become healthier than when they were on the sludged pastures. There have been»many reports of heavy metals in sludge and the toxic effects of heavy metals are well documented. Photographic chemicals are a source of silver, lead comes from pipes and is present in many municipal water supplies as was documented in a recent study, and cadmium is a byproduct of some industrial processes. It is because of the toxic level of both the heavy metals and the chemicals mentioned above that many places around the country do not allow sludge to be used on the field. I for one do not want to eat food grown on sludged fields, have the river behind my house contaminated with run-off, or smell the odor that I experience for months when driving by fields in Fauquier and Loudoun counties that have been covered with sludge. Thank you Rappahannock Planning Board and Board of Supervisors. JOYCE D. HARMAN DVM Flint Hill Democrats Kept Taxes Low To the Editor: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Twelve years of Democratic administrations in Virignia have steered us safely through very hard times nationally. Financial World magazine has rated Virginia first among the 50 states for financial management for the last two years in a row. For the last year, City and State magazine agrees. Virginia is one of only five states whose bonds are rated AAA by both independent national bond-rating agencies. The Virginia Republican Party, traditionally sound and conservative, has come under the control of the most radical movement in the history of the Commonwealth. Their candidates propose wild changes in the way Virginia does things. George Allen, the Republican candidate for governor, would spend extra hundreds of millions of dollars on the Prison system by abolishing parole. With their usual disregard for the truth, these new Republicans have attacked “the tax raises of ‘Governors’ Bilies and Wilder.” Actually, State services have been preserved, and in many cases improved, with almost no tax increases. The last increase in the income tax was in 1972. Republican Linwood Holton was governor. The state sales tax was increased one-half cent in 1985, with the increase dedicated to road maintenance. Our roads and bridges were falling apart due to 12 years of Republican neglect. Today, every one of us can look around and see the system being repaired and improved. Governor Wilder has proposed no tax increases whatever during his term of office. Virginia ranks 45th out of 50 states in state taxes per $1000 of personal income. A prudent Virginian will vote the straight Democratic ticket on Nov. 2. AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON Syria Power Line Meeting To the Editor: My husband and I have been residents of Rapphannock County since 1985. We moved here specifically because of the county’s rural nature and beauty. On Aug. 25, we received a lettter from Rappahannock Electric Cooperative informing us of their plans to run a new transmission line from Sperryville, across our (and other) property, to their Rixley substation in Culpeper County. It is our understanding that this line, a transmission, not a distribution line, will have little, if any effect on the quality of power in Rappahannock County. Culpeper County residents will reap the benefits of this line, while Rappahannock residents will have their property values and scenic views forever ruined. We believe there must be a better solution: perhaps get the needed additional power from an existing or new source, or find a better, less destructive corridor for the new line. It does not seem right that Rappahannock, one of the last pristine spots in Northern Virginia, should be spoiled for the benefit of others who care more for development than for natural beauty. ; My husband and I have heard many comments on the futility of fighting a power company. However, considering the alternatives, such as lost property values, destruction of scenic beauty and the possible health risks to livestock and people from exposure to electromagnetic fields, we think we have no choice but fight as hard as possible to keep this proposed line out of the county. Therefore, we urge all county residents to attend the public meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 17 at the Courthouse in Washington, and find out what can he done to stop this power line. ; Power lines are forever. As long as there is a chance of keeping th£m out, we must try. As residents of one of the most beautiful spots bn Earth, we owe it to ourselves andto our children to keep it that way. • LINDATERRY Castletbn Wrong Driver To the Editor: In your Sept. 8 issue, you reported that a “Charles William Smoot” was convicted of driving 71 miles per hour in a 55 m.p.h. zone.

Pundit Offers Unsolicited Advice By JOHN GOOLRICK The best part about being a newspaper columnist is that you can dispense totally unsolicited advice. For example, no one running for statewide or regional office has really asked me my opinions about what they should be doing and saying. Or at least none has offered to pay me for such >» advice. Those who have asked were probably trying to be polite more than anything else. Yet even though unasked, I refuse to stay silent. And so here, just a few days after Labor Day with less than two months to the election, are some of my « words of wisdom to those who are seeking favorable * decisions from the voters of Virginia. First, for Mary Sue Terry, Democratic nominee for governor: back in the spring, you had a huge lead in fund-raising and in the polls. So during the summer months you could afford to sit on your lead and !’ let your opponent play catch-up football. Unfortunately, for you, your opponent has connected on some > long passes and has gone from 23 points down to just six points down. That means you can no longer afford the luxury ' of relying on media advertising while staying above . the fray in Richmond. In the next 60 days you have to press the flesh and work the crowds in Grundy and t Farmville and Warrenton and Falls Church and Passapatanzy and countless other places in this big and : diverse state. Person-to-person contact is essential to counter a growing notion that you think you can buy the campaign without working up a sweat. That notion must be promptly discarded. For George Allen, Republican nominee for governor: You have gained dramatically in the polls, your fund raising has greatly improved and the media is at last taking your candidacy seriously. You have, indeed, won the summer, but it is just halftime and the fall beckons. 4 Your greatest danger will be a temptation fueled by your advisors to forego the high risk, high potential gain strategy that has worked so far and retreat to a more cautious brand of campaigning in order to avoid the kind of “turnovers” your father always dreaded. Any such revised strategy would be exactly wrong for you because people admire you for your willingness to talk bluntly about issues many politicians tread softly around. Should you shrink from the long ball and hope to catch and pass Ms. Terry by playing it safer, you may find you can’t beat your op; ponent at her own game. For Donald Beyer, Democratic nominee for lieutenant-governor: the only possible advice I can give you would be not to become too complacent and take victory for granted. Polls show you in fine sahpe, but your opponent has thousands of high energy people working for his election. Virginia Through Both Barrels And to Mike Farris, Republican nominee for lieutenant governor: you must find a way to broaden your base, and you cannot do that by continually preaching to the choir. The truth is, rightly or wrongly, thousands of Virginians feel you are the cutting edge of the Pat Robertson movement. Unless you can convince them you are a mainstream candidate who will give priority to mainstream issues it will be very difficult for you to win. To Bill Dolan, Democatic nominee for attorney general: Polls show you are far from being a household word in Virginia. You need to raise as much money as you can and spend it on advertising to increase your name identification, while trying to associate yourself with a few tough-on-crime issues that wm nave good purnic appeal. To Jim Gilmore, Republican nominee for attorney general: Same advice as for Bill Dolan. To all the Democratic candidates for state legislature: Never, never talk about Bill Clinton and his accomplishments. Concentrate on local issues and talk about how you can do more for folks back home as a member of the majority party in Richmond. And to the Republican candidates for state legislature: Always bring up the Clinton Administration and point out that your opponent is, like Clinton, a Democrat. Contend that it is time to change majority parties in Richmond. All of this advice is free, although any who use it and win election can send voluntary contributions to me in care of this newspaper.

Royal Ave. • Front Royal, VA Battle of New Market Roars Through Library By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer The Battle of New Market came to life last Friday as Douglas Baumgardner recounted the details of this Civil War battle to kick off the Friday at the Library series. Mr. Baumgardner made us see the importance of the Shenandoah Valley in the strategies of both the Confederate and the Union armies, and emphasized the role of the Virginia Military Institute and its Cadet Corps. At the Battle of New Market the students from VMI, after marching for three days to the battle site, participated as a group in a victorious engagement for the Confederate forces. Ten of them were killed, including Thomas Jefferson’s descended who was named for him. Two video films about the war documented the career of Stonewall Jackson and VMI’s part in the New Market engagement. Mr. Baumgardner’s researches into the history of. the war produced an account of a woman who witnessed the fighting and helped to nurse and comfort the injured and dying. Baumgardner’s description of the “total war” policy of the Union forces against the Southerners revealed the basis for the enduring enmity of many who survived the titanic, tragic and lengthy struggle. This policy was initiated when General Pope took command of the Army of Virginia which was organized in Rappahannock County. At one time more than 8,000 troops were quatered in the county. The audience questioned Baumgardner or details of the battle for half an hour following his talk and,' the film showings. ; On Friday, Oct. 8, Oliver Brown,; Huntsman of the Rappahannock' Hunt, will speak at the next sched-! uled “Friday at the Library” pro-! gram. * Football Panthers Lose Opener The Skyline Travel Football League kicked off their first game last Saturday in Bealton, and the Rappahannock Panthers were thrown for a 40-0 loss by the Fauquier Southern Storms.

^ Wednesday, September 15, 1993 Panther B-Ball, Cross Country Teams Begin Season With Varied Success By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The cross country team had another triumph in a scrimage against Madison and Culpeper in Madison lhst Wednesday and then ran up on ifeality in the Radford Invitational meet Saturday. The Panther squad came in first at Madison with 34 points to 37 for Culpeper and 55 for Madison. Jason Waters came in first, Mike Grimsley ran second, and Mark Jenkins came in fourth. Jonathan Heddleston was 13th and Mike Wolfe 14th. Nathan Flinchum was 22nd. There are not enough girls out for cross country to qualify as a team, but as individuals Holly Gangel ran first among girls and Camilla Josephson was fifth. At Radford the team came in eighth among 15 teams in the top division. Actually both divisions ran at the same time, and Jason Waters finished 10th in the division, 12th overall, and Mike Grimsley ran 12th in the division, 16th overall. Mark Jenskins ran 36th overall, and Mike Wolfe came in 138th overall. Jonathan Heddleston came in 222nd overall and Nathan Flinchum was 235th. Among girls Holly Gangel ran 36th overall. Coach David van de Graaff said that the competition in the A division was very tough, but many of those are AAA schools. The cross country team was to face Bull Run District opponents for the first time this season Wednesday in a meet with Stonewall Jackson and Manassas Park at Stonewall Jackson. The team will host Luray next Monday. Meanwhile the Varsity girls’ basketball teams had its first victory against Luray Monday winning 38 to RICK HUNT SAYS: ARE *0u.

The JV lost its third game, but each game is closer. The JV record is 0 and 3 overall (0 and 2 in District play). Against Luray Leah Marlett got 11 points and 15 rebounds in spite of only playing 15 minutes because she was in foul trouble early on. Coach Gary Leake said one of the keys to the game was play from the bench, since four of the starters had four fouls each. He was particularly pleased with the contributions of Susan Jewell, Laura McNear, and Patti Atkins. “They rescued our starters with their play from the bench,” he said. All along Coach Leake has said that one of Rappahannock’s strengths this year is depth. In the Luray game both teams were in foul trouble, but Rappahannock’s greater depth won out. “Bonnie Jewell had one of her best games,” Coach Leake said, with 9 points and 9 rebounds. Cari Kerr and Deitrich Beaver had 5 points each. He said he looks at 20 areas in analyzing each game, and with each game the team looks better. He is concerned that the team is still having problems with turnovers and feels some of the girls have to have more practice with the offenses. The JV lost to Luray 15-19 after losing to Central 11 to 45 and to Page 13 to 33. JV Coach Emily Wingate said that teamwork is coming together, but the girls still have some tendency to play as five individuals. “They’re coming together; I can see a great deal of improvement,” she said. She noted that Sarah Gentry and Angie Atkins played particularly well against Luray. Injuries, causing some players to miss practice has also caused some problems with the team, but she expects the team to continue to improve. In earlier games the varsity lost to Central 27 to 63 in the season opener last Tuesday, and then lost to Page 27 to 41 last Thursday. The game against Page was a great improvement over the first game, as the girls closed narrow'ed Page’s lead to four points twice, but were never able to take the lead.

Every game is serving a pur-, pose. Every time we take the court we learn about ourselves. Through continuous practice, video analysis and mental preparation, we’ll get better.” :l Leah is leading the team in scoring with an 11-point average. “Our goal is to get the other players as active as Leah,” he said.

Adopt-a-Highway Program Marks 5th Year Five-year-olds are known for making a mess, but Virginia’s fiveyear-old Adopt-a-Highway program not only picks up after itself, it picks up after litterbugs across the entire state. The Virginia Department of Transportation is celebrating the program’s Fifth Anniversary with the annual Great State Trash-Off on Saturday, Oct. 16. On that day, thousands of Virginians led by Adopt-a-Highway volunteers will mobilize to clean the Commonwealth. Everybody can help the Adopt-aHighway volunteers by cleaning up area roads, parks, streams, bike trails, waterways or even their own backyards. “By lending a hand, Virginians will clean our state not only for themselves 'and their neighbors, but also for the thousands of people who visit Virignia every day,” says Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel. Governor L. Douglas Wilder has proclaimed the third Saturday in October as Great State Trash-Off day to make ail Virginians aware of the need to keep our state clean and beautiful, and to help enhance and preserve that state’s resources for future generations. Since October 1988, the Adopt-aHighway program has grown from a small group of volunteers to the second largest program of its kind in the nation. To date, over 30,000 volunteers making up nearly 6,000 groups have joined the program. Nearly one-quarter of the Commonwealth’s roads are now cleaned by Adopt-a-Highway volunteers, anc the number is rising every day. Ovei the five years, Adopt-a-Highwaj volunteers have provided nearly million worth of litter control serV' ices.

►Schools From Page A-l mental issues, and if the school system were given $10,000, there would be more worthy projects to spend it on. With that change in the budget, Dr. Gangel said he still felt the budget could be managed, because several anticipated expenses for the sewage systems at both schools may be postponed. However, he said there would be additional expenses for sewage systems in future years. Dr. Gangel said that the enrollment loss was partly explained by students moving out of the countyj although there are also students moving into the county. Part of the enrollment loss is also due to increased numbers of students being home schooled or requesting religious exemption from compulsory education, and part is due to more students going to private schools, he said. This year there were 14 new students being home schooled and another 10 students who continued in home schooling. However, seven students returned to public school from home schooling. The net result of all of that is there are seven more students in home schooling this year than last. Also two students who had been in private school are being home schooled this year, Dr. Gangel reported. Also this year nine more students were granted religious exemption from attendance, and three students who had been in private schools received religious exemptions. In addition 16 students transferred from the public schools to private schools while seven transferred into the public schools from private schools for a net loss of nine to private schools. Ten students are in private kindergarten programs. Diane Wood, who has been home schooling her sons for five years talked to the board about the concerns of home-schooling parents. She said she was talking for herself only, but several other home schooling parents were present and shared her concerns. Mrs. Wood said she had asked to address the board because of her anger when she was told she could not rent a math book for her oldest son. She said teachers in the elementary school had always treated her and her children well, but “I haven't felt that way at the administrative level and higher up. I felt like a door was shut in my face.” She said she was pleased that the school system is doing a survey of home schoolers and others who have taken their children out of the public schools to find out how the schools could better meet the needs of the community. She said she took her oldest son out of kindergarten to give him more individual attention than he could get in a crowded kindergarten and because she had a “different philosophy of teaching.” She said she found she loves home schooling. “It goes along with what I believe about learning,” she said. “When you make learning exciting and let children take responsibility for their learning, it works.” She said the learning and discipline at the elementary school are too much directed “from without. Ihe discipline is external, not internal, and it’s the same with learning and creativity.” She said much of the time and money in the school system is spent on “the children with the least learning potential.” She said what might attract home schooling parents back into the public school system would be a “real open policy.” She suggested the school system consider part-time enrollment with home schooled children able to attend school for lab sciences, foreign languages and field trips. Hooked Rug Exhibtion Belle Grove Plantation, the National Trust for Historic Preservation porperty located one mile south of Middletown will present its sixth biennial Hooked Rug Exhibition from Nov 1-16. This year the exhibit will be divided into professional and non-pro She suggested the schools develop policies for home schoolers. “We are at a crossroads,” Mrs. Wood said. “Do we want to close doors or build bridges?” she asked. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said the school system would look into how it could work with the home schoolers. She added that since the school system doesn’t get funds from the state for homeschooled children, it would have to charge tuition for classes that “would make the cost prohibitive.” She urged home-schooling parents to reconsider what the public schools 1 offer. In other action the board: •Voted to award the contract to Quarles Petroleum for diesel and gasoline for the bases, since the company is the only one that will be responsible for the underground tanks. Dr. Gangel said that this will be for one year only and that the next budget will have to include funds for “above-ground vaulted tanks.” •Accepted $1,222 from the Athletic Boosters for cheerleader uniforms and a banner. •Learned that expensive changes will be required for the septic systems at both schools and that the state will not allow the school system to tie the addition into the current elementary school sewer system. •Received a report from Mr. Smith on his preliminary work on environmental policies. •Approved fund raisers and field trips. •Adopted policies on sexual harassment. fessional. The professionals will enter for exhibit only. However, the judges will award an inscribed pewter plate to their favorite. The non-professional will be divided into categories.

Sheriff Woodward said most of the dogs involved “don’t do anything agressive to people.” On target shooting the supervisors asked if they could pass an ordinance prohibiting firing guns a certain distance from a house. Sheriff Woodward said that some of the complaints come from Chester Gap and Rappahannock Lakes. “If you fire anything in those areas, it’s too close,” he said. Mr. Luke said such a law would require “careful enforcement. If somebody goes out to shoot a snake, you’ve got to make exceptions,” he added. Nothing was resolved, and the sheriff left noting that he told people he would report on the problems to the supervisors and he had done so. Countv Administrator John Me Carthy reported that both the E-911 system and cable television were falling behind schedule. In the case of E-911, he said that the C&P Telephone Company said it could not switch Rappahannock to E-911 until several other counties are switched. He said they reported they wouldn’t swith over until 90 percent of the houses are addressed and that the company said that included putting up street signs. He estimated it will be next year before the switch comes. On cable television, Mr. McCarthy said Chester Gap already had cable and Adelphia was moving ahead with lines to Washington and Flint Hill, but was having problems getting right-of-way to extend lines to Sperryville and Amissville. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said other areas shouldn’t have cable if the Amissville area didn’t. Then Stonewall Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson agreed saying no one should get cable if it didn’t come into his district. No cable lines were planned for that district.

Mr. Leake will respond to the offer September 22. The supervisors also held a public hearing on selling bonds for the school addition. Newbill Miller urged the supervisors not to borrow more than they absolutely need. Scott Cunningham reported that the pesticide cleanup was completed and that between 15,000 and 20,000 pounds of pesticides had been removed from the county. Mr. McCarthy reported that there are new standards for landfill operators. He said the county’s operators would have time to meet the new standards, but the standards could make it expensive for the county to hire new operators if that becomes necessary. Mr. McCarthy reported that Loudon County is planning to build a juvenile detention facility. He said the county should consider sharing a portion of the cost in exchange for being able to use the facility. The supervisors agreed to pursue that idea. The supervisors appointed Richard Smith to the Water and Sewer Authority. ►Sludge From Page A-l Newbill Miller and James W. “Bill” Fletcher also opposed the use of sludge. Speaking against the ordinance, Jennifer Alexander said she could buy dried sludge for use in her garden. She said banningsludge is “arbitrary,” and that a ban could be challenged in court. “That would cost the taxpayers,” she said. “There are better ways to spend money than to line the pockets of attorneys...You may have to prove that sludge is unsafe to ban it,” she said. “We have proof that it is safe.” Gregory Evanylo, a professor at Virginia Tech, said that there had been numerous studies of sludge and that the most conservative policies had been adopted for its use. He said the levels of heavy metals in sludge are similar to those in chemical fertilizers and animal rfianures. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he would vote in favor or the use of sludge if it could be only sludge from Rappahannock County or other sludges produced in Virginia and tested by state employees, but he said he could not vote to acceDt sludge from Blue Plains because of many reports of violations at that plant. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said he could understand how people could differ on the issue. He said Virginia Tech has recommended practices later prohibited. He noted that the Extension Service once recommended that farmers plant fescue and “that has cost Virginia cattle producers millions of dollars.” He said when he started farming the government would pay farmers to dry up wetlands. “Are the experts right?” he asked. “History tells us they are sometimes wrong.” Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson said one person in his district favored the use of sludge while 10 or 12 “say no way.” He said he would vote in favor of the amendment because that is what the people in his district perceive as in the best interest of their health. , Col. Bingham said his reading and the testimony of experts had convinced him that sludge was less hazardous than chemical fertilizers and that to ban it would be “arbitrary.” He said Rappahannock farmers should have the same advantages as farmers in surrounding counties. Mr. Gilkey said nothing that he had heard had changed his mind and that the people in his district supported allowing farmers to use sludge. Mr. Estes made the motion to adopt the amendment.

Town attorney Frank Rey-1 nolds Jr. said that any nonconforming use that exists before the ordinance was passed can be continued, but after “two years of dis-; continuance (the property) returns to the ordinance.” Mr. Reynolds said that to qual-: ifiy for a hardship exemption, the “hardship must be more than an inconvenience,” and must meet the state definition. The Council voted favorably toT; approve the amendments, and then voted favorably again to approve and adopt the entire ordinance. Both votes were unanimous, making the Zoning Ordinance effective Sept. 9, 1993. The Council approved a request from the Ki Theatre to hold a Street Fair on Gay Street, Saturday, Oct! 9, as long as the street is not blocked off from traffic. The festival will be a part of Ki Theatre’s Crossroads 1993 celebration. !*. The fire department will be the, recipient of a $3,000 grant receive^ by the town, reported treasurer Brad Fisher. The grant, from the Virginia Fire Services Board, can be used for fire department education and courses or equipment. The Council suggested that the money be used to place a dry hydrant at Carrigan’sPond. Mr. Steve Critzer was elected ta fill the vacancy on the Planning Commission resulting from the resignation of Arthur Neufeld. Mr.. Critzer also presented a report to the Council from the Architectural Review Board. The ARB asked the Rappahannock News to clarify that the role of the ARB in architectural matters is to “judge appropriated ness, not safety.” Mayor Morehouse requested that minutes of all ARB, meetings be entered in the town record. No complaints have been received about the barriers at the intersection of Main and Middle streets squaring off the southeast corner. The council will request that the Department of Transportation complete construction of curbing and sidewalk at the corner. The Council commended Louise Van Dort for her continued volunteer help moving records and sup? plies to the new town hall. J Several members of both the Council and the audience said they had problems hearing and under-! standing each other because of the( poor acoustics in the town hall. Mayor Morehouse they plan to put down a carpet, yrhich should improve the situation. ►North « From Page A-l said that he will “make a decision af4 ter the election” in November 1993. ' North came into public prom!-; nence during the Reagan adminstra-* tion because of his activities* administering funds for the Iran.' Contras when he was a Marine off!-* cer. He was later convicted on three; felony counts relating to his active ities, but the convictions were overturned. . “ Republicans have to “reach oii£ and bring people into the party,™ said North. He said that voters caif be part of a historical process this year because there has “never been* a Republican majority” in Virginia. 4 Politics can be summed up by; “the three P’s,” he said: “Prayer* pledge, and participation.” Hd. linked Mary Sue Terry, the Demb£ cratic candidate for governor, tq> President Clinton by referring to*' Terry as “Mary Sue Clinton—opps.l Terry.” *: Other speakers repeated Norths theme of reaching out and bringing; people back into the Republican party. ; ; Jay Katzen, GOP candidate for Delegate in the 31st District, which includes Rappahannock County, said that the Republican party will “return power to the people,” and that we will knock on doors and win.” ’ “ Katzen said his Democratic opi pponent, incumbent Delgate Jerry Wood, is trying to distance himself from the Democratic party and Pres* ident Clinton. “The voters are tired of the Clinton, Terry and Jerry show,” said Katzen. U.S. Representative Frank Wolf, R-lOth, stressed that the “Republican party of the future is the party that reaches out,” and that we “will do what’s right.” He stressed that one vote can make a difference, and pointed to the recent tax bill in House of Representatives when Vice-president A1 Gore’s one vote broke the tie. Following the speeches, the crowd swarmed over North for handshakes and autographs. Many lined up to have their photograph professional taken with him for $10.*

• Community News •Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1993 Arts Adventure: 'Leaving Town Alive' Invites Thinking DIANA BIRD Rappahannock New. Contributing Writer As I sort out my thoughts and feelings after reading John Frohnmayer’s book, Leaving Town Alive, my first sensation is that the author is inviting us to think. He is forthcoming about what he thinks, but the chronicle of his two and a half years in public service is such a complete one that the food for thought reminded me of my first Norwegian smorgasbord. If one is interested in the arts, in politics, in government, in human nature, in our national diversity, in what our society is like today, in exploring one’s own character and personality, or in philiosphy, one will find Mr. Frohnmayer’s tale of his life as a Presidential apointee useful and challenging. The Style section of the Washington Post carried the headline on Sept. 10, that “Group Claims NEA Endorses Pornography; Explicit Sexual Films Cited as Evidence.” The article states that the Chrisitian Action Network calls for the dismantling of the NEA because the vote on its appropriation is expected now and confirmation hearings on Jane Alexander’s nomination to be new NEA chair is also imminent. If you have read Leaving Town you will have background information enhancing the story’s interest and helping you to fit it inot the context from which it stems. Mr. Frohnmayer’s discussions of his experiences with public funding of the arts lead the reader to a consideration of the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech, of the place of art in one’s own life and the life of our society. His book raises the issue that Congress is being asked today to consider: whether or not, and how, the government should be involved in supporting the arts. Two sides of this question are still, “What is art?” and “What good is art-who needs it?” Our institutions don’t encourage us to discuss these questions, and most of all, they don’t encourage us to be nonjudgemntal about them. We haven’t come to a consensus on the matter of society’s relationship to art, in spite of the twenty five year success story of the NEA. As Frohnmayer writes, “Only five states had arts agencies in 1965, and now all fifty states and six territories have them. Local arts councils now exist in more than three thousands communities, and multicultural groups such as the Dance Theater of Harlem, El Teatro Campesino, and the Insitute of Alaska Native Arts have been nurtured and have blossomed. Folk art programs preserve our heritage in all areas of the country, and through touring artmobiles, satellite museums, and other innovative program rural areas experience the arts. Support for public television programs...have helped bring the arts into the living rooms of over 300 million people a year,” and all for approximately 68 centes a year per person. A principal concern for Mr. Frohnmayer is to see the place of arts in our educational institutions significantly enlarged. At one point he says, “We are becoming a culturally illiterate nation. Because art is so often considered just entertainment or a frill that can be pushed to the shoulder of the curriculum, it is inevitably lopped off when school funds become scarce, as they always do. Seldom do our children receive systematic instruction in what their cultures preserve... Cicero warned that not to know what happened before we were bom condemns us always to remain children...It is a mystery to me why our study of history revolves around wars rather that artisitc accomplishments, and around the writings of politicians rather than those of poets and essayists. To be locked out of sights, sounds, rhythm and meter is an numbing and dehumanizing as to lack the ability to read.” Unfortunately, in spite of the Endowment’s efforts to make its work known, we often become aware of it through such unhappy stories as the one already referred to. The NEA’s bounty We are apt to take for granted and ask little about its genesis. Anyone who has worked in government or had contacts with it-and who hasn’t?-will find John Frohnmayer’s well-written as an elected official, an appointee or as a civil service employee will also become engaged. You don’t have to admire Mr. Frohnmayer, the arts, or anything he deals with to find important lessons in his books. If only President Clinton and his helpers had read it before they came to Washington. When Mr. and Mrs. Frohnmayer left town they had already discovered a place to go: Rappahannock County, where they hve found an atmosphere conducive to work, reflect and rest. John Frohnmayer will discuss his experiences with the First Amendment and his interest in its importance for the arts and our society at the Library on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 6,1994. In the meantime, you may want to find his book at the Library or buy it at our local book store. This honest and humble memoir strikes me as a classic. (Leaving Town Alive, Confessions of an Arts Warrior, by John Frohnmayer, is published by the Houghton Mifflin Co.) 'Little Short Of A Miracle' By SARAH MASSIE CHE ATWOOD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Sept. 17 Americans will have another opportunity to celebrate their national heritage. Even though this date is not as familiar to most as July 4, it is no less important. On Sept. 17, 1787, 39 delegates from twelve states signed their names to a document that some refer to as the “greatest piece of political technology” ever composed. This document is our United States Constitution, and on Sept. 17 it celebrates 206 years of life. Until 1787, our young nation had been loosely joined by the Articles of Confederation under which each state issued currency, collected taxes, and maintained its own army. The national Congress had little authority over the former colonies. The authors of our Constitution designed a republic that gave power to the central government, yet avoided the tyranny they had revolted against. State rights were guaranteed, yet the freedoms of individual citizens were ensured. This document that was born in the summer of 1787 became the very foundation of a new7 government that provided a system of checks and balances among three separate branches. This masterfully penned document became our blueprint of democracy. And so the oldest living Constitution in the world today marks its 206 anniversary. Its words continue to allow Americans to develop their talents and abilities to the fullest and protect them from government abuse. Perhaps George Washington stated it best in a letter to the Marquis de Lafayette when he wrote, “It appearers to me, then, little short of a miracle...” Let us celebrate this miracle that is our United States Constitution.

Custom boots and special orders are welcome. Store hours are 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Saturday. Jewelry and other gift items, books and greeting cards, help round out the merchandise, and more is on order. Almost all of the items have an animal theme. “If you don’t see it, just ask,” said Pankow. Women's Therapy Group Focuses on Self Worth By LAURA RUBY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Many women are instilled to place value on themselves based on their performance in a variety of roles —as mothers, wives, daughters, and employees. That value system, however, can lead to a number of problems when women begin to experience difficulties in those relationships, according to a local social worker. Charlotte Wolfford, a licensed clinical social worker at Family Focus in Warrenton, said last week that issues such as these were the driving force behind her incentive to create groups to specialize in dealing with problems common to women. Ms. Wolfford recently started psycho-educational and psychotherapy groups at Family Focus, a Christian counselling service, to address women’s issues. Because there are a proportionately higher number of women in psychotherapy than there are men, and because there are few facilities designed to focus specifically on women’s issues, Ms. Wolfford and John Borgens, a Ben Venue resident and founder and director of Family Focus, decided there was a need in the community for the new groups. The groups, which began meeting in July, are receiving a favorable response from the community at large, Ms. Wolfford said. Although women’s issues are no different than men’s issues, Ms. Wolfford said, women tend to come forward sooner, sensing there is a problem. Men, however, hold onto their pain for a longer period of time making therapy, when it’s sought, more difficult. According to Ms. Wolfford, women need to stop valuing themselves according to the amount of success they have in their roles. She said that society teaches women to be in tune with others to such an extent that many women see themselves in a distorted way, based mainly on how others see them. “Women are socialized to be caretakers and nurturers and assess their self-worth based on how well they perform those roles and when there is conflict or disruption in those roles they look inside themselves for blame,” she said. She said that many women are simply what others make them because, for one reason or another, they are not able to pull everything about themselves together to form one self. “It’s not that they haven’t had goals or desires —they’ve put them on hold while they fulfilled their earetaking needs. When relationships begin to fall apart they become depressed,” Ms. Wolfford said. She said that men are able to hurt and grieve over a failed relationship and' then go on with their lives. Because women define themselves according to their relationships and roles, they have more difficulty in separating failure of a relationship from failure within themselves, Ms. Wolfford said. Along the same lines, women who are abused many times feel that the abuse is their fault. Many w'omen unconsciously go along with the notion that if bad things happen to you then you must be a bad person because, "again, they are defined by outside happenings, Ms. Wolfford said. Problems in establishing one’s self lead to difficulties with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, shame, failure and inadequacy, Ms. Wolfford said. The new groups are designed to respond to these problems, she said. The psycho-education group, she said, is different from therapy in that it offers a classroom-type atmosphere, Ms. Wolfford said. She said that usually a therapist or specialist on a specific issue comes to the group to discuss the selected topic. Women are able to interact with each other and with the speaker in the groups, she said. The education classes are offered at a nominal fee and the series of topics will repeat this fall, she said. Interested women should contact Ms. Wolfford at Family Focus. An ongoing psychotherapy group is offered for women who are survivors of childhood physical or sexual abuse, Ms Wolfford said. The group, she said, is very powerful and is expanding all of the time. These sessions are offered at $35 per meeting and Ms. Wolfford generally meets with interested persons ahead of time in an attempt to determine whether the therapy is appropriate for them, she said. This group, she said, deals with its members past history and how that history relates to the present. Intimacy, spirituality, forgiving, and anger are among the topics discussed, Ms. Wolfford said. v Rappahannock News Stall Photo/Shaiun Kilpatrick Members Susan Parrish, left, Clerk of the Washington Town Council; Sarah Massie Cheat wood, Chairman of the Constitution Week Committee;,Marshall Cheatwood; Virginia D.

Circus Comes To Sperryvilie Monday Circus Day, a tradition for 200 years in the communities of America, is being kept alive in some 200 towns on the eastern seaboard each year when Roberts Brothers Three Ring Circus Under The Big Top makes its annual tour from Florida to Maine with performances of thrilling aerialists, daredevil acrobats, beautiful equilibrists, trained animals and rib-tickling clowns creating awe, wonderment and laughter among both the youngest and the oldest members of the audience. It is something remaining in the entertainment world that a whole family can enjoy together. Roberts Brothers Circus will come to Sperryville at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 20 to set up at the carnival grounds under the sponsorship of Sperryville Fire Department according to Richie Burke, president. • Communities which host Roberts Brothers Circus will find that they are among a growing minority. Less than 30 years ago there were over iuu circuses under canvas touring America. Now there are less than 20. Many former circuses have fallen into the pitfalls which have closed many small businesses of every type throughout the country. Through the capable management of brothers Bobby and Jeff Earl and their mother, Doris, Roberts Brothers Circus not only survives but is able this season to produce an entirely new production and shares a substantial amount of its profits with the organizations which sponsors it in each community thereby making it possible for these orgainzations to save for their communities many local programs which otherwise would be lost as federal, state and local funds dry up. Miss Tammy is swept off her feet by her pet, Lisa The Elephant, during the grande finale of Roberts Brothers Three Ring Circus Under The Big Top. The circus travels with over 20 plete kitchen which serves three vehicles of which seven are large meals a day for the circus employees trucks of unique design each made to to spacious cages for over 20 trained serve several purposes from a com- animals. They also contain offices. sleeping accomodations, generators big enough for all of the electric power the circus needs and of course the big top with all of its paraprenalia and seating for 1200 people. The circus arrives in town early in the morning on show day. By lunch time everything is up and it is nap time until time for the first performance. After the performances everything is pack up. The show leaves for the next town at first light the next morning. One of the most astounding things to watch at a circus like Roberts Brothers is the versatility of the performers. They all perform in several numbers in the program both in aerial acts and the three rings. The fun of it is that with an intimate audience like this one, you can see everything in all three rings and leave with the feeling that you know everyone who has been entertaining you. There is a family feeling about dealing with Roberts Brothers Circus which is felt not only among the pertormers and staff, but by the members of the sponsoring organizations. About 90 percent of the towns the circus visits are return engagement in towns where this circus is “their circus” and is invited back on a regular basis. Purchase of tickets from the sponsoring orgainzation before circus day helps them the most as they make more on their advance sales. Advance tickets may be purchased from: Burke’s Store in Woodville, B&B Service Center, Comer Store and Shaw’s Exxon in Sperryville, Dennis’ Store in Castleton and Hillsdale Grocery in Washington. Advanced tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for children. Tickets will also be available the night of the circus at $7 for adults and $5 for children.

End Of Season Fruits Are Good For Jams and Jellies By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics As the food preservation season comes to an end, there are still plenty of fall fruits to use for ingredients. If you’re in a jam about how conserves differ from marmalades, here’s a quick glossary of terms you can “preserve” for posterity. Most of us refer to any tasty fruit spread as “preserves.” But preserves are only one of six varieties of “semi-soft spreads.” As a group, they may just be the most popular way to preserve food at home; they heighten the senses and bring accolades from all who sample them. Each type of fruit requires four basic ingredients: fruit, sugar, acid and pectin. Some fruits contain enough of their own acid and pectin; otherwise, you must add it to the recipe. The distinctions come in the slightly different techniques used to prepare and cook each variation. Jelly-calls for the strained juice from fresh fruit. The end product has a clear, shimmering appearance. It holds its shape when removed from the jar yet is tender-firm enough to spread easily. Jam-requires crushed or chopped fruit and is cooked until it rounds up in a spoon. Jam should be slightly firm, but won’t retain its shape like jelly. Thickness results from cooking reduction rather then jelling, so prepare jam in small batches and cook rapidly. Preserves-contain whole fruit or large pieces suspended in thick svrup. The fruit retains its shape and shiny appearance and stays plump. Use a pan with a wide opening and work in small batches. Marmalades-are soft-tender jellies with pieces of fruit, pulp and peel suspended in it. Marmalades are cooked rapidly until close to the jellying point. When preparing fruit, leave some of the pectin-rich white pith next to the peel. Conserves-come from jam-like mixtures of two fruits and will often contain nuts and raisins. Prepare them in small batches and cook rapidly after the sugar has dissolved. Butters-smooth, thick spreads created by cooking fruit pulp and sugar slowly to the desired consisapples, peeled, cored, and chopped 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon HOME ECONOMICS Combine raisins and wine; let stand 2 hours.

Hewlett-Packard Supports Soho's Child Care Initiative Hewlett-Packard, one of the nation’s leading technology companies announced the donation of a LaserJet IV laser printer to the Soho Center in Haywood. This “across-thecountry” donation is in support of the Soho Center’s Comprehensive Child Care Initiative. The Soho Center, which recently received a major Kellogg Foundation grant, is working to improve the quality and safety of family day care across 11 counties including Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Greene, Louisa, Orange, Madison, Page, Albemarle, Rockingham, and Spotsylvania. According to Jeanna Beker, Soho’s Director, “Ben Franklin had his printing press and the Soho Center has its laser printer. This generous donation, something that HewlettPackard doesn’t typically make outside of communities with HewlettPackard facilities, will greatly enhance our ability to communicate with family day care providers across the region. It means we won’t have to rely on the loaned laser printer we have been using to date; it’s another of the many generous business donations we have received that help us reach a lot of people.” Adds Nancy Thomas, Contributions Manager for Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto, Calif., “Soho’s programs for family day care providers represent an innovative and successful approach to a national problem. Hewlett-Packard, a leader in high technology, is proud to recognize and support the Soho Center and its leadership role on behalf of children and working families in Virginia.” Soho’s programs for family day care providers include voluntary registration, free child care training, free home safety equipment, free children’s clothing, free quality children’s books, even free seeds for children’s gardens as well as money back through their Soho/USD A Food program.

Trees Reduce Cost By DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist Planting trees and shrubs around your home will help to reduce your heating and cooling costs. How much it reduces costs depends on your choice of plants and where you locate them. Trees and shrubs shade people and buildings from the direct rays of the sum. During winter, deciduous trees and shrubs shed their leaves and let the sun’s rays help warm the house. This is an important consideration if you are planting for summer shade on the southern exposure of your house. Plant Full-Crown Trees, Not Cone-Shaped for Shade Maples and other trees with full crowns are best for summer shading. The high brances permit greater visibility and do not block the flow of cooling breezes. Evergreens’ cone-shaped crowns provide less shade on walls and roofs. Their branches often extend to tfie ground, blocking visibility and the flow of cooling breezes. If planted in the wrong location, they may shield you house from the sun’s warmth in winter. Trees provide maximum shade when planted in groups beside you house, however, a roof need not be totally shaded to achieve excellent results. A study in Alabama showed that air-conditioning costs could be reduced effectively as long as the amount of shade on the roof averaged 20 percent or more for the entire day. Put Vines on Trellises To Avoid Damage Deciduous vines that cling to trellises along walls can afford protection on the south and west sides of a house. However, vines which cling directly to walls may cause some structural deterioration. By providing shade on walls, vines keep the surface temperature down and reduce convection-caused heat gain. Additional cooling comes from evaporation of moisture from the leaves. Evergreen vines such as English ivy should not be used on walls facing south since they block the winter sun’s warming rays. Vines may help insulate walls on the north and west sides by curbing winter winds.
