He said that the library now has access to the Internet through the public schools at no cost to the library. He said that he and Librarian Nicki Lynch recommended that for the time being access be limited to the library staff using it for library and educational purposes. “There are incredible amounts of information on it, but it can also be a plaything,” he said. “It could tie up our one modem all day long if we made it available to the general public.” He said he had checked with the state library, and the Internet is supposed to be available to all main libraries through the state library by Christmas. He said, when and if that happens, the library can then “unplug” from the school. The board approved the policy of restricting use to the library staff for library and educational purposes. Dr. Young said Delphi Computer Service is also offering free use of the Internet on a trial basis during off hours, but the board members decided not to take advantage of that as long as the library has other access. They did note that Delphi’s offer might benefit any member of the general public with a computer and modem. The library’s own public access catalog has mostly been installed, Mrs. Lynch reported, and the staff is being trained on its use. “This is Step One,” she said. “Step Two will be circulation.” She also reported that the library can use a new CD ROM disk in the high school library that contains all the articles published for three years in 100 magazines. “We are being reciprocal,” she said. “Students have been calling during the day, and we fax things back and forth.” She reported that receipts for expenses for the grant to put .in the public access catalog had been sent into the state library, and the funds to reimburse the county should be coming back soon. She said the library received a refund of $928 because there were fewer titles in the See Library, Page A-8 Good enough to eat Rappahannock Nows Stall'Photo Cind\ Mahan A bin full of apples is ready for packing at the Williams Orchard in Flint Hill. 0W R% Bulletins Th )Voter Registration ^:2^Tzxvr'otein^ Registration Office at t h V**’ 4’ The Washington is „pe„ weekdaTT°Use '" and on SatTIi ys 8:30".m.a-rn--5p.m Ur<^ay, Oct. 2, 9 v°te- Call 675^739<fgistered '" order to '"formation for add'tonal i99?pPOrtant Ta* Notice Dw- 5,1993.

All those nominated for the board of directors were elected. After the Free Spirits warmed up the audience, several speakers said that a major issue facing RLEP today is the proposed transmission line from SperTyville to Culpeper County that the Rappahannock Electrical Cooperative wants to build. For some this was deja vu, because RLEP was founded in 1970 to oppose a proposed power line to nan from Sperryville to Front Royal. The project was defeated through strong community effort. 1 Mai^r stressed that although the two situations looked the same, there were many differences. “It’s a spiral, not a circle,” she said. President Marc Malik gave a short financial report and conducted the election. The following were elected to the board of governors: John Amberson, Susan Babcock, Judy Boykin, David Chuse, Robert Dennis, Karen Henderson, Hunt Harris, Phil Irwin, Kathleen Maier, Marc Malik. Robin Purnell. Alex Sharp, Linda Tarry, Fay Witherell, and Mitzie Young. David Chuse, past president and current board member pointed out the growth and development in neighboring counties. Although Rappahannock’s population increased only by 2 percent in the past decade, the surrounding counties of Fauquier, Warren, and Culpeper all experienced growth rates of more than 10 percent, and Page County grew almost that fast. This has helped to put pressure for development on Rappahannock. - Chuse also discussed loss of farmland and See RLEP, Page A-8 County Purchases School Property Leake Accepts $60,000 Bid By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Roy Leake has agreed to sell the county 5.119 acres for $60,000. The land will be used for expansion at the elementary school. Mr. Leake will receive $30,000 on October 4 and another $30,000 January 4. The title to the property the county will get will prohibit using the property for solid waste collection. Last Wednesday the Board of Supervisors met in executive session with and without Mr. Leake present. The supervisors were trying to agree with Mr. Leake on a price for the land which would not require a condemnation suit, but Mr. Leake did not then accept their offer. Following the executive session the supervisors adopted a resolution to condemn the land. The resolution to proceed with condemnation gave $47,500 as the fair market value Of the land. The resolution says the 5.119acre parcel west of Route 636 and south of the current school property is the “most suitable site for expansion.” Mr. Leake later agreed to accept the county's offer for the land thus saving himself and the county the cost of court action. The land on which the school was built was purchased from Mr. Leake. This purchase left a narrow strip of land still owned by Mr. Leake between the end of the school property and Route 636. Mr. Leake also owns land on the other side of Route 636. He has been taking hay from the land the county will buy. It is a buildable lot, however. Last Tuesday VMDO Architects of Charlottesville, which is designing the school addition, presented sketches of the proposed addition to a small group of citizens attending a meeting to provide suggestions from the community for the addition The plan calls for 14 classrooms ,o be added in a wing stretching south from the current gym and cafeteria. The classrooms will house tlv* kindergarten, first and second grades. The plans also show an office. mechanical room, and toilets. The cafeteria will be 20 feet longer making an 800 square foot addition to that space. The addition can be entered through a glass-enclosed corridor running beside the current gym or through a separate entrance. On the land books Mr. Leake's parcel is listed at 4.02 acres and assessed at $32,000. Mr. Leake also owns a 21.9-acre parcel on the other side of Route 636 which includes his house and is assessed at $151,000 and an adjoining 8.14-acre parcel as sessed at $34,600. Contract Reached On Landfill, Trash Last Wednesday evening the Board of Supervisors agreed to contract with Community Trash.Inc. to haul trash from the dumpsters at Scrabble and Huntly and the landfill itself for the rest of the fiscal year, until June SO, for $57,333. The supervisors also agreed to contract with the same company to operate the landfill for $75,333 for the rest of the fiscal year. Community Trash, owned by E.B. and Ruth Updike of Culpeper, is the only firm which bid to operate the landfill. The other bid for providing trash hauling service was higher than the bid from Community Trash. The Updikes also agreed to renew the contracts at the same rate of $199,000 per year for the 1994-95 fiscal year. This is somewhat less than the cost under the current contract with Community Trash of $210,000 per year which ends October 1. according to County Administrator John McCarthy. The supervisors also received a proposal, but no bid. from BF1 of Springfield to contract to construct a waste transfer station in the- county and haul the trash out of county. BFI has contracts to haul trash to private landfills. One is in the Richmond area, Mr. McCarthy said. BFI will be invited to present its proposal at the October Board of Supervisors meeting.

Valley By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Gasoline has leaked into Beaverdam Creek from underground storage tanks owned byQuarles Petroleum, Ine. at the F.T. Valley Grocery on Route 231 two miles west of Sperry ville. Petroleum products have also infiltrated the ground in front of the store. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has entered an enforcement action against Quarles Petroleum to clean up the site. Beaverdam Creek is across the highway from the grocery on property owned by Mr. E.I). Coffey, Sperryville. The creek flows into the Thornton River near the junction of U.S. 522 and Route 620 about a mile southeast of Sperry ville. The F.T. Grocery is presently operated by Mr. and Mrs. Charles and Jeanette Burke. The three underground storage tanks were removed from the property in June 1992, after the gas station portion of the business was discontinued. Routine testing at that time revealed no leakage.

Or are you unsure about what you’re getting and whether or not you’re getting a good value for your money? According to Jewelers of America (JA), the national organization that provides consumer information on jewelry, consumers don’t have to be hesitant when selecting the jewelry they’ve always wanted. Just knowing what to look for makes for a safe and cherished purchase. There are two things to watch out for when shopping for real jewelry. The first is the “discount sale.” Consumers should make sure a discount is really a discount. It’s important to find out if the merchandise on sale was in fact sold at the “regular” price quoted. Secondly, consumers should educate themselves on the quality of jewelry before shopping for it. Here’s some important facts to be considered when buying... • Gold: When buying good jewelry, always look for a karat mark (18K, 14K, etc.) as well as the manufacturer’s trademark stamped alongside of it. This means that the manufacturer’s whose trademark is stamped on the piece of jewelry is guaranteeing the karat mark. Watch out for jewelry that has only a karat mark and no trademark. It may not be the karatage it says it is. • Diamonds: The “Four C’s” determine the value of a diamond. The “Four C’s” stand for Carat (unit that measures weight), Color, Clarity (internal natural inclusions or external surface irregularities) and Cut. Consumers should ask their jeweler to explain each of the “Four C’s” in detail before buying a diamond. And they should shop around for similar stones to make sure it’s a good price. • Colored gemstones: The same factors determine the value of colored gemstones-Color (strength and purity are key), Cut, Clarity and Carat Weight. • Cultured pearls: Look for a deep lustre and iridescence. Also, look for clear, not dull or muddy, color tones as well as for surface perfection. And, the more symmetrical the shape, the more valuable the pearl. “When you’re looking for real jewelry, whether it’s for yourself or as a gift, you are investing in something valuable and timeless,” said JA Chairman Mike Roman. “It’s important that you purchase your jewelry from someone who you known and trust, a jeweler who is established in the community and has earned a reputation for integrity, service and reliability.” SHORIN-RYU OKINAWAN KARATE Wednesdays @ Ki Theatre Gay St., Washington, VA.

Diggers are Kori Alexander, left, Ginny Caldwell, Allyson Dodson, Charde Ferguson, Mindy Cairns, and Jessica Ashby. Summer Ozone Pollution Levels High in Shenandoah National Park Shenandoah National Park officials continue to be concerned about the high ozone pollution levels that the Park has been experiencing during the summer of 1993. Since the beginning of the year the Park has had 21 days when ozone pollution levels were above 80 parts per billion (ppb). Superintendent Bill Wade said “We are concerned when ozone gets about 80 ppb because sensitive plants begin to show symptoms of injury, and some people who are sensitive to ozone begin to experience health problems.” Ozone pollution levels were high in July on six separate days. The air quality monitoring stations at Big Meadows and/or Sawmill Run had levels above 80 ppb on those days with the highest reading of 105 ppb on July 28. Air quality monitoring specialist Rolf Gubler stated, “As of early Sept. 1993, the Park has had over three times as many high ozone pollution days than the entire summer of 1992.” Ozone pollution levels must exceed l!20 ppb (unhealthy levels) in order to violate the federal health standard established by the Environmental Protection Agency. The last time the Park experienced unhealthy ozone pollution levels was in 1988 on two separate days. At ozone pollution levels of 80 ppb to- higher, persons who are sensitive may experience symptoms of breathing difficulty, a burning sensation in the chest or throat, dizziness, weakness, and headaches. Ozone is equally toxic to sensitive species of trees including white pine, tulip poplar and black cherry. Ozone enters pores in the leaves (stomates) and kills chloroplast cells, decreasing the tree’s ability to produce its own food. Ozone exists naturally in a thin layer in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere) where it helps screen out much of the harmful sunlight that can cause skin cancer and leukemia. When formed in the lower atmosphere however, ozone is a highly toxic gas that can affect human health and cause injury to vegetation. This type of ozone formation is caused primarily by a chemical process between several types of air pollution given off by automobiles, fuel refining industries and power plants. When ozone levels are high in the Park, they are likely to be higher in large cities. For example, on June 24, Richmond exceeded the federal ozone standard when ozone levels reached 129 ppb. Readings in the Park that dav were 88 ppb. In addition to ozone pollution this summer, visibility degradation was very apparent in July and Aug., shrouding the Park’s scenic vistas in a brownish-yellowish haze. There were several stagnant air days in July and Aug. when visitors could not even see the valley floor from Skyland Lodge. Air quality monitoring specialist Rolf Gubler stated “The Park experienced poor visibility on 38 days during July and Aug. 1993 as compared to 24 days ih 1992 and 20 poor days in 1991.” Poor visibility is defined as a visual range between zero and ten miles. Human caused sulfate pollution accounts for over 75 percent of the Park’s visibility impariment. This type of pollution is emitted primarily by industries and power plants that burn coal. As a result of these increasing emissions, annual average visibility in the Park has declined 60 percent between 1948 and 1983. Park Superintendent Wade reported that the ability of our visitors to see and enjoy the once grand views from Skyline Drive and wilderness mountaintops has been severely dimin I Send now j lor the only i book on crime ever written ! by a dog! !

Architect Dwight Matthews presented the apartment application on behalf of the owners Phyllis Pricer and Catherine Criscione. He said that the building had originally been a house and had been moved to its current location and converted to a garage. He said the owners wanted the apartment for a rental property. They only use the property on weekends and want someone on the property full time, he said. Efficiency apartments are allowed in any residential zoning district provided they are less than 600 r square feet and provided that no more than two people live in them. Mr. Matthews noted that the total living space proposed is 583 square feet. The BZA approved the application provided it gets Health Department approval and provided the remaining garage storage space is not converted into living space. Jennifer Matthews abstained from discussing or voting on the application. Gilman Carlson applied for a 20foot variance from setback requirements to build a log cabin on a oneacre lot. He said that he needed the variance because building to the required 50-foot setback would mean either digging the house into the ground or having one side of it several feet above grade because of the steep slope of the lot. He said that he had purchased the one-acre lot from a couple who were living in a trailer on the lot. His house is farther back on a right-ofway serving both lots, he said. He and his wife operate Blue Knoll Bed and Breakfast. Mr. Carlson said he had not decided what to do once he builds the house. He said he might sell it, or rent it full time or onweekends. Board members suggested they could not find that denying the variance would be a “hardship approaching confiscation.” They suggested he explore purchasing an additional 20 feet of property from his neighbor. If that does not work, they suggested extra grading and drainage would solve the problem. Mr. Carlson left saying he had not realized when he made the application that standards for a variance were as high as the BZA said.

APPLE FESTIVAL ? V GOING TO THE APPLE FESTIVAL./ I'M THE QUEEN THIS YEAR // i J-i o Letters Katzen: Creative, Articulate To the Editor: Voters in Fauquier, Warren, and Rappahannock Counties need to understand that the balance of power in the General Assembly has shifted from the rural areas of the Commonwealth to the population centers; especially, Northern Virginia and the Tidewater area. Particularly in the House of Delegates, we need a competent spokesperson looking out for our interests, and that is why we have to elect Jay Katzen on Nov. 2. The shift in voting strength is plain to see in the recent House votes on gun control legislation. Delegates from the rural counties have always been able to beat back any serious attempts to impose gun control. But during the last session of the General Assembly, Gov. Wilder proposed the one-gun-per-month bill, and in a revised version it passed, supported by a coalition of Republicans and Democrats from Northern Virginia and Tidewater. Whether this was good or bad is beside the point; it illustrates clearly the need for strong, self-reliant representation. Jay Katzen is creative and articulate. From his foreign service experience he brings skills in diplomacy, negotiation and consensus-building. He has political experience at the federal and the state levels. Mr. Wood hails from the goodol’-boy school of politics. His positions on issues with state-wide significance are determined by the Democratic leadership. If the year were 1954, we wouldn’t expect anything better. In 1994, we need someone who can speak for us on issues such as land use. allocation of the state’s funding for public education, and crime prevention. Let’s get out and vote for Jav Katzen. FRED GROHGAN Warrenton A Halloween Suggestion To the Editor: On Halloween, a lot of county residents bring their kids to Washington for the best trick-or-treating. It has been wonderful the way town residents have played along. It shows a good sense of community spirit and my kids had a super time last year. I was a townsperson once. Enough candy for that many kids can cost more than fifty dollars. Even at fifty dollars you can feel stingy while giving only two or three small pieces of candy to the eager ones. The situation doesn’t feel right to me on either end; the giving, or the receiving. You may not be the most appro- - priate person for me to have written. However, you would be called in to help out in case someone agreed to put this idea into action. If you agree with the following idea, would you help get it going? I am thinking the county residents (your readers) who would be planning to bring children to Washington, would willingly donate a fair share of treats to the townspeople (c o your office, the. Mayor’s someone’s ???) the week before the big night. Then all the treats would (somehow) be distributed to those households who plan to be participating. BRIAN J. ROSS Washington Godless Leaders lothe editor: "And now behold, I say unto you, I fear exceedingly that the judgments of God will come upon this people, because of their exceeding slothfulness, yea, even the slothfulness of our government.” I believe that the type of leaders that a country has reflects the type of people in that country. Apparently, we have been a slothful people for a long time by allowing godless people to sit in the command posts of our government. We are sliding into deeper depths of sin with the leaders that we have elected into the command posts for many of the past years. However, it is refreshing to see on the horizon a few that are coming forth having a spirit of daring gallantry to fight for good laws. We will have a chance in the election this fall to elect people into office who will be on the Lord’s side. These candidates will need our help if they are to win this election. Thus, to finally give us some in Richmond that will tell us truths about the long term effects of laws, They cannot win an election alone, they need us and we need them. So let’s go forward to inform our neighbors of these candidates, Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Slaff Photo/Bruce Sloane These spotted Riesling grapes that are so lovingly cut from the vine at the Gray Ghost Winery, Amissville, will soon be fermenting. being George Allen, Mike Farris and Jim Gilmore. They are doing their work, are we going to do ours? CARL GLAETTLI Strasburg Wilder No Friend To Blacks To the Editor: This morning on C-SPAN a black Arkansas caller commented on Bill Clinton as president. The caller stated that Mr. Clinton took time specifically from his duties to return to Arkansas to watch a black prisoner executed. He also reported that Mr. Clinton displaced a black female from the position that he gave to Jennifer Flowers. As a result of these actions by our present president and other Democratic politicians, the caller stated that he would never vote Democratic again. At the time of this broadcast, I was getting my thoughts together to write editorial comments on similar grounds and was pleased to be aware that other blacks know as I do that Democratic expression about love and care for everybody is very often a ploy to get our votes. I want to state that the Democratic Party has not been an asset in recent years for strides to overcome the problems that Afro-Americans continue year after year to experience. Democrats have taken our votes for granted and have not taken the least bit of time to show any kind of concern for our plight. We are not looking for preferential treatment. We just want to be treated fairly. Even though we now have college degrees and impressive resumes, we still do not get jobs we are more than qualified to hold. Many jobs are now going to white women to fill this nonexistent “quota.” White women without college educations. Blacks cannot afford for their own posterity to continue to vote Democratic. I do not recommend that we all become Clarence Thomas-like stamps, but we must not be so predictable that the Republican Party and others spend no time to get us to join their ranks or be concerned about what we demand as any other American citizen. The Virginia State Government is by far the most discriminatory employer I have ever worked with. As governor, neither L. Douglas Wilder, his political appointees nor the other black elected state politicians have done anything to assure fairness in the Virginia workplace. These people do not even take the^ time to respond or properly investigate improper personnel policies. Having a black face in government does not mean that we have voted in someone who cares that all Virginians are treated equally. Many blacks are aware of the disservice Wilder has provided to blacks and others who have been oppressed by Virginia State management. However, although many of us voted for him, he has used his position as the first “black” governor to run for two political offices, to hobnob with the rich and famous, to make deals that could only be expedient to home personally and involve himself in projects that would make him known world-wide. At the same time he appeals to whites by not speaking out concerning the mistreatment of blacks. It is evident to many blacks that the Governor feels that removing the Confederate flag and establishing a monument to black slaves should be enough to appease us, when the truth is that Mr. Wilder has clone absolutely nothing. There are many of us who will never vote for him again or any of his cronies. This man is definitely not a “credit” to his race. I, for one, do not want the history books to give him more credit that he deservesnone. This man has done nothing for Virginia except use it for his own purposes. Likewise, Mary Sue, hoping to be the first female governor, has done nearest to nothing as any public official I can remember. She has done nothing for blacks and has said that more should be done. However, evidently not on her time. AfroAmericans should go out in droves to vote against her. Do not let this person run our government. Wilder’s administration was awful, but Ms. Terry’s would be disastrous. Please.

North's Charisma Draws Support By JOHN GOOLRICK Back in the early 1970s, when he was a young Marine stationed at Quantico, Oliver North sent his kids to the same elementary school in Fredericksburg that my grandchildren now attend. Some of the folks remember Mr. North working at the school-sponsored Bingo games, just as many parents do today, to reduce the price of tuition. North has come a long, long way since then, as I can attest from these past few months when I’ve seen him at least a dozen times at campaign stops in various parts of the state. No matter what anyone thinks of him from a standpoint of philosophy or his participation in IranContra, North’s political skills are nothing less than superb. He has said time after time that the present races for state-wide office and the House of Delegates must be the focus until after the November election, and the way he has gone about campaigning practically guarantees his nomination by the Republican party for the U. S. Senate next year. Across the length and breadth of Virginia, North has shown up to raise money and votes for the GOP statewide ticket and its legislative candidates. His star appeal added to various cocktail parties and chicken dinners has pulled in hundreds of thousands of dollars and earned him the gratitude of countless party activists who will have big voices in the selection of the Republican senatorial nominee in 1994. And the fact that North is a nationally known celebrity who often guest hosts on such conservative radio talk shows as those of Rush Limbaugh and G. Gordon Liddy do nothing to hurt his chances for the nomination. ' Though everyone has known he will be a candidate, North did not make it official until last week when he filed certain papers with the Federal Election Commission. And even then he noted that the papers had to be filed to comply with legal requirements and that his major emphasis would continue to be on this year. The fact is, though North is a controversial figure and there are Republicans out there who shudder at the prospect of his nomination, it’s just about a done deal. The State Central Committee has already decreed that the nomination will be done by convention not primary, a made-to-order ruling favoring North. There are reliable reports that some of the top Virginia Through Both Barrels echelon advisors to Jim Miller, former director of the Office of Mahagement and Budget under Ronald Reagan, are telling him his quest for the Republican senatorial nomination is already a dog that won’t hunt,, and he might strongly consider throwing dow n his nfle and coming out of the woods. - Former District of Columbia prosecutor Jay Stephens, the man who busted former Mayor Marion Berry, is young and articulate and touted by some as an alternative to North. Here again, sources say Stephens is just about convinced getting in now would be like climbing aboard the Titanic after it hit the iceberg, and he may want to run for Congress against 8th District Rep. Jim Moran, an exercise in which he would have North’s full support. North will have a lot going for him if, as is probable, he gets the nomination. If there is a tough RobbWilder confrontation for the Democratic nomination, it will be costly and draining on both of those candidates in terms of party unity. While they are fighting, North will be out campaigning and raising money for himself. And he is a charismatic figure with the ability to draw large crowds w'herever he goes. It is true, as detractors say, that he has baggage, but so do both his prospective opponents, incumbent Sen. Charles S. Robb and Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, who will either challenge Robb for the Democratic nomination or run as a third-party independent. And in the absence of an independent candidate who was well known and respected by many thousands of Democrats, Republicans and independents alike, and without any baggage. North would start the race, it says here, as at least even with and possibly a slight favorite over his general election opponent. (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Republican 1st District Rep. Herbert Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own, and not necessarily those of this newspaper.) From Page A-4 Virginians, this woman does not have your concerns at heart-no matter what your race or color. Black Virginians, wake up! Do not vote for someone because they are black or a minority. Currently, house Negroes are working with power hungry whites to become members of the “elite.”. Wake up, white Virgini&Jis! Many, many whites are treated grievously because they speak out against fraud, deception and improper management power moves. This is abuse of the power we have given them to administer honestly and fairly. The real truth is that if the “elite” can keep up in some type of discord, they can always triumph over us all. Jesus said it very eloquently, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” We all need to work together to rid our nation of self-aggrandized political figures. It doesn’t matter the color-the people must take back the power. L. SHIRLEY HARVEY Richmond The Best Qualified To the Editor: We Virginians as voters in this fall’s elections are in the position of an employer seeking to hire the best qualified person as governor of a multi-billion dollar organization, the largest in the state. The two persons applying for the job are Mary Sue Terry and George Allen. Which one has the better experience in administering a giant operation? Mary Sue Terry practiced law after leaving law school, served as a prosecuting attorney, became a state legislator, and was attorney general of the Commonwealth for nearly eight years. She has had administrative experience in government at the local level and as a wellregarded director of one of the larger offices in the Virginia state government. George Allen went from law school to the practice of law and later became a legislator. He was a sole practitioner of law (and thus had no office of size to administer) and later became a legislator. At no time has he administered an office of any size. In addition to job experience, we’d all like to hire a person with a record of integrity. In the 1991 race to fill the seat of resigned Representative D. French Slaughter in Virginia’s seventh district, Allen ran a TV ad, in which (to quote the Jan. 4, 1992 Congressional Quarterly) “Democrat Kav Slaughter was crit icized for opposing the Persian Gulf War. Her photograph was superimposed on a scene of anti-war marchers holding a banner that read “Victory to Iraq.” Allen admitted that he knew that Slaughter had never supported “Victory to Iraq.” But he never had the courtesy to apologize for that blatantly untrue ad, even though he has been asked to on a number of occasions. It seems to me we should hire the person with the better job experience and greater personal integrity to run our multi-billion dollar state government, which, incidentally, has been rated by Financial World magazine as number one in financial effectiveness among all 50 states.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan The Rappahannock Panthers get ready to snap the ball against the Culpeper Fighting Bulls. Football Panthers Drop Third Straight By TONY HOFFMAN Rappahannock Panthers Head Coach The Rappahannock Panthers lost last week to the Culpeper Fighting Bulls, 70-0. It was the third straight loss for the Panthers. You probably wonder: How does a team keep playing week after week losing 70-0? Even going into this week’s game, knowing that the odds are well against us, we were still fired up just by the thought of playing a team like the Fighting Bulls, a team well respected, as is the coach, Kemp Pullian. You take a lose like this, put it on the back burner, and use it for experience. The team really isn’t that bad. We have a very young team, and 95 percent of them never touched a football until this year. We are building this team from scratch. Within a year or two we should be very competitive. The boys are learning and want to play football. We have a lot of good athletes; we just need to put all the practices together at game time in order to win. And I can say one thing for sure: They never give up until the final whistle blows. Next week the Panthers play the Warrenton Running Rebels at Warrenton Jr. High School. —i Soccer Kicks Off With 10 Teams By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer More than 150 youngsters have signed up to play soccer with the Rappahannock Soccer League this fall. They are divided into 10 teams according to age and ability. This past Saturday most played their first games. There is one team of players under 14 years old. Howard Coon is coaching that team, which had last Saturday off. In the under-12 age group there are three teams. Rappahannock 1, coached by Kenny Rogers, lost to a Culpeper team 0 to 3. Rappahannock Conserving Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District Droughty conditions during the summer reduced corn yields in many areas of the Northern Piedmont. Significant amounts of residual nitrogen from pervious fertilizer applications should be available in the upper soil horizons for small grain crops. Fields that are likely candidates are the ones that received high levels of fertilizer, manure, or sludge nitrogen and have produced low yields. Small grain crops can be used to conserve soil and utilize residual soil nitrogen. If corn is to be planted in the same fields in 1994 the small grain can take up the residual nitrogen and store it for the next years corn crop. The nitrogen will be released once the cover crop in incorporated in the soil or killed for crop residue use. Small grains should be planted as soon as possible after the corn is harvested to ensure the maximum amount of residual nitrogen is utilized by the small grain. Small grains grown for cash can also effectively utilized residual nitrogen. Pre-plant nitrogen may be omitted if significant levels of residual nitrogen are available in the surface horizons. Fields should be tested for nitrogen levels with nitrogen testing kits to determine the amount of available nitrogen. Since nitrogen can quickly move out of surface soil horizons with rainfall, the test should be conducted just before planting. Significant levels of residual soil nitrogen exist in many fields. Careful management using small grain crops and soil nitrate testing can help growers to effectively utilize this resource and protect water quality. The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District offers a BMP Cost Share Program which enables farmers to receive and incentive payment to plant small grain cover crops for nutrient management.

Girls' Varsity Beats Luray As JV Picks Up First Win By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The girls’ Varsity basketball team picked up its second victory and the J V its first as both teams defeated Luray Monday night. The varsity won 39 to 29 to bring their record to 2 wins and 5 losses (0 and 5 in district play). Luray scored first, but the Rappahannock squad came back to tie the game and then gain the lead. The Panthers never gave up the lead again. In fact Luray was limited to 2 points in the first quarter, which ended with the score Rappahannock 13 Luray 2. Luray got 8 more points in the second quarter, but only 2 were on field goals, and the half ended with Rappahannock up 18 to 10. Several times in the second half Luray pulled up to only 5 points down, but each time the Rappahannock girls answered the challenge. “The key to the game was our overall intensity, especially on defense,” Coach Gary Leake said. “Patty Atkins came in off the banch and did a good job. Leah Marlett had her best game of the year with 16 points and 17 rebounds.” Jessica Arnold started in place of Cari Kerr who was sick and scored 6 points and got 4 rebounds. “She gave us a spark,” Coach Leake said. He added that Susan Jewell had 8 points and “one of her best games. I really give them credit,” he said. “Luray cut the lead to 5 points, but they regained their composure and reeled off 6 points to get the lead back to double figures. Tonight we really tried to get the knockout punch.” “I’m real pleased,” he continued. “They played a lot better tonight with intensity on both ends of the floor. I believe this is a great ball club just waiting to happen.” The JV won by a score of 27 to 10. Coach Emily Wingate noted that the girls had lost a game at Luray by 4 points and were looking forward to playing Luray again. “They played a good game,” she said. “This is the first game they’ve played togather as a team.” Dawn Haavstad had 12 rebounds, 1 blocked shot and 4 points.

Last w'eek both teams lost away games against Strasburg Tuesday and home games against George Mason Thursday. Following those games coach Leake said both high school teams were showing their lack of playing experience. They were suffering the consequence of turnovers. “You can’t coach playing experience,” he said. Meanwhile the boys’ cross country team split a meet last Wednesday at Strasburg. The team lost to Strasburg but defeated George Mason. The score was Strassburg 25, Rappahannock 43, and George Mason 66. Jason Waters ran first in a time of 16:50. Mike Grimsley ran fourth, and Mark Jenkins ran sixth. Mike Wolfe ran 14th, and Nathan Flinchum ran 18th. For the girls Holley Gangel ran second. Coach David van de Graaff said some of his runners were tired from having run against Luray on Monday. “We were running first, second and fourth,” he said, but his second and fourth place runners were passed in the end. The cross country team was to host a meet against Central and Brentsville Wednesday and run against Clark County and George Mason at Goerge Mason next Wednesday.

Treasurer Helen Platt said the funds would be needed to pay the salary of Betty Smith, who was hired to work on the public access catalog and who has stayed on to help once it is installed. “We’ve already planned to spend more for sal aries than was budgeted,” she said. The board agreed to keep the refund for salaries and to request funds from the Friends of the Rappahannock Library or the donation of a used computer from patrons to provide the second public access catalog. Mrs. Lynch reported that the library had hooked back up with the state’s computerized access to interlibrary loans because the staff found that the microfische versions had not been updated and were practically useless. She said that would cost $50 per year plus something for long distance calls. Susan McCarthy reported on the Friends’ fundraiser, A Novel Affair. She said through the party the Friends had exceeded the goal of $2,000 to buy classics missing from the collection. She added, however, that the lists of classics needed to complete the collection or replace “dog eared” copies would cost over $5,000. Mrs. McCarthy said the Friends were sponsoring an “adopt a book” campaign. She said they wrere working on a form patrons could use to donate a specific book to the library. She said they would prefer money rather than donations of actual books because the library staff can purchase books in “library bindings” cheaper than the general public can purchase books.

One can linger outside to take in the view of Old Rag or tour a house that is full of historical atmosphere yet thoroughly modern in its amenities. It is a house that leaves no doubt that it was planned for the 1990’s and beyond. Mr. Morgan, who designed and built his house, is an avid collector of Toby jugs, decoys, and antique cars.

The dried flower arrangements, which are works of art, begin with seedlings planted in May, dried by various means through the summer for for six weeks in Septem-' ber and October, become the finished products the public sees. The community provides assistance as growers, driers, arrangers, and hostesses. The women of Trinity are pleased to give back to the community by donating to fire and rescue services, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Social Services and a number of other concerns.

He notified Quarles Petroleum who sent an investigative team to collect soil and water samples, including a sample from the grocery store well, which provides drinking water for the store and a home on the site. Analysis of the samples revealed the presence of benzene and toulene, two petroleum product derivatives. Quarles reported the findings to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) as required by law.

Regional DEQ manager in Woodbridge, Ms. Cynthia Sales, said that the main purpose of the SCR is to throughly outline the problem, assess the risk, and to recommend abatement procedures. She added that the F.T. Valley site is one of 1900 cases in northern Virginia. • The SCR states that the well closest to the storage tank site contained about 5 inches of gasoline which was removed by hand. Other wells showed small amounts of dissolved or residual petroleum products in decreasing Amounts away from the tank site. Remedial action as recommended in the SCR is complex and expensive. It includes removal of more than 500 cubic yards of material from the area of the removed leaking tank. This entails excavating an area 40 feet by 30 feet to a depth of 12 feet. The excavated soils will be disposed of at a licensed treatment facility. A sump recovery pump will be placed at the bottom of the hole before covering he area with gravel.? The pump would empty by pipe into a temporary storage drum. The water supply will be protected by a combination oil/water separator, sediment filter, air stripper, and activated carbon adsorption units. The stream bank will be treated by excavating an 80-foot long 3-foot deep trench to be filled with clean gravel, and by installation of a treatment system similar to, but simpler, to the system proposed for the water supply.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News Real Estate Classifieds WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 199i 'Gray Ghost' Pressing for a Vintage Year in Amissville Rappahannock News Staff Photo, Bruce Sioane Precious, the cat, gives A1 and Cheryl Kellert a paw by the fermentation tanks at the Gray Ghost Winery. By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer “It’s one of the best vintages we’ve had,” said viniculturist and winemaker A1 Kellert. He gazed at the rows of grapes and the busy pickers at his Gray Ghost Winery in Amissville. Kellert and his wife Cheryl have been harvesting grapes at their Amissville home since 1986. In prior years they’ve sent the grapes off to other wineries to produce the finished product. This will be the first year they’ll make wine at the home vineyard. 'The 1993 Riesling should be exceptional' -Al Kellert Although wine has been produced for thousands of years, it requires specialized equipment today to ensure the quality and uniformity of each and every bottle. After the grapes are picked and weighed, they are run through the de-stemmer to remove other parts of the plant. Grapes for white wine are pressed to remove everything but the juice, and put into a holding tank for 24 hours to settle. They are then placed in another tank to which yeast is added for fermentation, and they may remain there for as much as 8 months for white wines or two years for red. Temperature is carefully controlled throughout the process. The grapes for red wines are fermented with their skins on, which gives the wine its characteristic color, and then pressed. The Kellerts grow a variety of grapes, both red and white. They have nine acres under cultivation now, and plan to expand to 17 acres. This year’s crop should yield about 1,000 cases of wine, said Kellert. A case contains 24 bottles. The hot dry summer, although hard on other crops, was ideal for the grapes, Kellert explained, because it concentrated the sugar. The sugar gets fermented into alcohol during fermentation. “The 1993 Riesling should be an exceptional year,” he added. Riesling is a white wine, and one of their best sellers. Other Gray Ghost white wines include Chardonnay and Vidal. Red wines produced by Gray Ghost include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. The also produce a Classic Bourdeau blend. The Kellerts’ interest in wine making intensified after they attended the 1975 Virginia Wine Festival. In 1981 they began growing some grapes near their home in Woodville. It was not until 1986 when they moved to their present location in Amissville that they began producing wine in any volume. Today the entire family is involved in the business, including daughter Amy who took time off last week from her studies at U. Va. to come home for the harvest. The Kellerts hope to have the Gray Ghost sampling room and tours ready for the public by next summer. With their vineyard and facilities directly on U.S. 211, they seem assured of a constant flow of visitors, and — they hope — customers.

BANE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Located 3.7 miles from Sperryville on Route 231, hidden from view on a rolling hillside, is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rolf Graage, and a featured house in Trinity Church’s House Tour and Dried Flower Sale.

Fox Hunting Featured At Library Series By MITZIE YOUNG Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Friday at the Library Series features the Rapphannock Hunt and Fox Hunting in Rapphannock County at 8 p.m. on Oct. 8. If one can be “born into a business” Oliver G. Brown, Huntsman with the Rappahannock Hunt since 1979, would seem W qualify. By age five he had begun riding. In his sixth year he had started fox hunting. As a teenager and in his early 20s he was a part-time whipper-in with the Rappahannock Hunt. A teacher of riding and showing. Brown has continued in the business of selling hunters here, in Kentucky, and in Saratoga, New York. His son, Michael, is pursuing a similar career course. Mr. Brown has long been involved in the Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock Farm show. He is, in the Southern tradition, a raconteur, and as such, has presented on several occasions to a group on Capital Hill known as the CHES Club, the Capital Hill Equestrian Society, as they met in the Sam Raeburn Building. The Huntsman's duties are numerous and range from taking care of the Hunt's hounds at their base at Thornton Hill Farm to breeding, feeding, trading, and training the dogs. The most desirable characteristics of the best dogs are courage and willingness to work. This presentation at the County Library Building, is open to the public, is free, and refreshments will be served.

NSDAR Members Meet and Celebrate Constitution Week By LOUISA T. GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met on Tuesday, Sept. 14 at the Culpeper Methodist Church in Culpeper. The Regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham, welcomed members and thanked the hostesses, Mrs. Thomas E. Colvin and Miss Mary Reed Bruce. The President General’s Message, read by Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer, stressed the importance of the project of her administration-the renovation of Constitution Hall, approved by the 102nd Continental Congress in April of this year. Many systems need overhauling, replacing, and repairing to bring all the areas up to current standards, a project really of the entire National So ciety. The speaker for the afternoon, introduced by Mrs. John Cheatwood, was The Hon. Paul D. Brown, Virginia Circuit Court, Retired. His topic was “Constitutional RightsNitpicking or Real,” a timely subject to celebrate Constitution Week on Sept. 17-23. The budget for the year as presented by the treasurer, Mrs. Zillah Gutowski, was approved by the membership. Oct. 12 is the date for the next meeting to be held at the Rappahannock Library in Washington at which time a dramatic reading concerning John and Abigail Adams will be presented, the performers being Betsy Rapp Hostrop and Virginia Venable Rapp. ftappafjannocfe fietos gift subscriptions are enjoyed 52 weeks a year.

There is a tongue-in-cheek adage which goes something like this...“Take care what you wish for. It just might come true."' Of course, the moral to the adage is that we do not always know what is best for us. Our fondest hopes in which we invest great time and effort could result in disappointment. The peripheral vision of the human mind is far from accurate. In fact, it is somewhat abstract. This being the case, how do we know our needs for now and for our future? Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.” As you worship each Sabbath, know that God will make your fondest wish come true...if it is His will. Pray about it.

Apple Snacks For Children By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics This past Saturday, I taught a training session for family day care providers in Planning District 9 on “Nutrition for Young Children.” So I prepared some nutritious snacks using Rappahannock County apples for part of the program. A child needs the same nutrients as an adult: protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, water, and even a small amount of fat (to absorb fatsoluble vitamins). However, a child’s need for ' nutrients is larger in relationship to his smaller size. A child’s need are relatively high because he is growing and building body stores. Although total quantities are small pound for pound, five year olds need twice as much protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin A and C, and three times as much B6 and B12 as 25 year old men. A child of five weighing 45 pounds, for example, needs as much iron, calcium, and even more vitamin D than a man who is 45 and weights 155 pounds. There is no room in a child’s diet for “empty calorie” foods which contribute only calories and no nitrients. Example: a soft drink vs juice. The soft drink has water, sugar and flavoring (no nutrients), where as the juice contains water, vitamins, and minerals. Serving Sizes Are Small Serving sizes for a child are small. A good rule of thumb for fruits and vegetables is one tablespoon per year of age. A two year old gets two tablespoons of mashed potatoes, a four year old gets four tablespoons which equals 1/4 cups which is not very much. For perschool children a serving of breads and cereal is 1/4 to 1/2 cup cereal. For meats and meat substitutes plan on lean boneless meat about the size of a thin hamburger 2-1/2 to 3 inches in diameter. Snacks Are OK The digestive capacity of a perschooler is small in comparison to an adult. Therefore, he may not be able to eat 1/3 of his daily food needs at a meal. He will get hungry' between meals and need a snack. A regularly scheduled snack time is better than constant snacking. Evaluating Snacks Snacks should be nutritious and contribute nutrients that your child needs daily. A good snack looks HOME ECONOMICS good, tastes good, and has nutritional value. It should be enough, but not too much that he won’t be hungry at the next meal. Children especially like snacks that they can help prepare. An apple certainly meets the above criteria for a snack without doing anything to it. But if you want to be a little more creative, try one of the apple snack recipes that follow. Many are simple enough for children to help prepare. Apple Snacks Rappahannock ranks sixth in apple producing counties in Virgina. Six popular apple varieties make up 90 percent of all apple trees grown in Virginia. These are: Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Rome, Stayman, Winesapand York. There are many ways to use apples-from eating fresh to using in salads, desserts, baked, and making applesauce and cider. The following recipes for children’s snacks using apples are from local cooks in Rappahannock County and the Virginia Apple Commission. Enjoy! An apple is the perfect snack foot! for children. It looks good, tastes good, has nutritional value and is fun to eat! Your children can help you perpare many of these recipes.

Commended Student In The 1994 Merit Program The principal, John P. Toth of Rappahannock County High, announced recently that Joseph R. Dunagan has been named a Commended Student in the 1994 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the school to this outstanding senior. About 35,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being honored for their outstanding performance on the 1992 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which was the route of entry to the 1994 Merit Program. Commended Students have shown exceptional academic promise by placing among the top five percent of more than one million program entrants; however, their qualifying test scores are slightly below the level required to continue in the competition for Merit Scholarships to be awarded in 1994. An NMSC spokesperson stated, “Being designated a Commended Student in this keen competition is a credit to these young people as well as to their schools, which play a key role in their development. We hope that the recognition these scholastically able students receive will encourage them to develop their talents and abilities to the fullest, and that the example they set will inspire other young men and women to strive for academic excellence. Commended Students represent a valuable intellectual resource crucial to our nation’s well-being.

Vigorous Plants Less Susceptible To Pests By DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist Gardeners who follow general maintenance and cultural steps to keep their trees and shurbs healthy are also reducing the need for spraying because healthy plants are less susceptible to insects and disease. Pruning, Fertilizing, and Watering Are Needed Pruning maintains plant health by eliminating dead, dying, or diseased wood. Any dying branch or srub can be the entry point or buildup chamber for insects or fungi that spread to other parts of the plant. When removing wood infected with a disease, such as a fungal canker or fire blight, make the cut in healthy wood beyond the point of infection. Sterilize the blades of the pruning tool with alcohol after pruning to prevent spread of disease. Clean and oil pruning tools regularly, including wiping an oily cloth on blades and other surfaces. Keep cutting edges sharp. The development of a sound framework of branches will help prevent upper branches from shading out lower branches on the plant. It Will prevent wounds from rubbing branches and will reduce potential for branch splitting^ due to ice or wind. Broad-leaved evergreen shrubs usually will benefit from an occasional thinning of foliage. This thinning will allow penetration of light .and air throughout the shrub, resulting in even growth of the foliage. Fertilizers add elements essential for healthy growth. To ensure tree vigor, fertilize as required and maintain the optimum pH for the tree or shrub. Keep soil free of compaction so roots can get water and essential elements. Take Care of Law n and It Takes Care of Nearby Trees qp A well fertilzed lawn provides adequate fertilizer for the trees it surrounds or borders. On mature trees and shurbs, maintain the existing growth without overstimulating new growth by feeding every two to four years. Simply broadcast the desired fertilizer on the soil or turf surface under the trees and shrubs and water it in. Spread the fertilizer, starting at the stem or trunk, and extending an average of twice the radius of the crown, out beyond the drip line. Use one to six pounds of actual nitrogen (N) per 1,000 square feet of root zone area for trees that have shown a need for fertilization. The best time to fertilize is in the fall, when the leaves start to drop and plant are dormant, but before soil temperature drops below 45 F. Watering correctly is vital for developing and maintaining a healthy landscape planting. Lack of water can cause a plant to wilt and ultimately die. Excessive water blocks the uptake of nutrients by roots and ultimately kills the roots. As a rule, plants are capable ol withstanding moderate drought more easily than excessive water. For this reason, it is important to al low the soil to become fairly dry between waterings and then water thoroughly so soil is moist 6 to 8 inches deep. It is often necessary to give a little extra attention to plants in the fall to help them overwinter and start spring in peak condition. Don’t Prune or Fertilize In Late Summer Avoid late summer pruning or fertilizing that will stimulate new growth that can not harden-off before frost. If autumn rains have been insufficient, give plants a deep soaking that will supply water to the entire root system before the ground freezes. Mulch to reduce soil erosion and water loss. Protect small evergreens by using wind breaks made out of burlap or canvas to reduce the force of the wind and shade the plants. Remove snow that is collecting on branches with a broom. Always sweep upward w ith the broom to lift snow off. When the branches are frozen and brittle, avoid disturbing them until a warmer day.

Almanack Available The 1994 Hagers-Town Town and Country Almanack is just reaching the newsstands this week. This will be the Almanack’s 197th continuous year of publication. The Almanack, known for its weather predictions that are made 18 months in advance, also discusses the results of ten years of collecting woolly bears and how they have done predicting winters. The Almanack publishes the up and down signs of the moon, tells one the best days of each month to plant, weed and harvest crops as well as go fishing to catch that “big one.” Also the Almanack gives many, many hints for the housewife, handyman, farmer and gardener as well as astronomical information. The Almanack’s weather prognosticator, Professor William E. O'Toole, a Mount St. Mary’s College computer instructor, predicts a cold winter with above average snow fall and a drought for the summer of 1994. For the' winter of 1998-1994 which covers a 160-day period from Nov. 1, 1998 to April 9, 1994. we can except 94 cold days, <58 wet days and 21 cyclonic storms. * This winter snow should be about 15 percent above normal levels, and O'Toole has predicted 45 inches of the white stuff. The first sign of snow will be in the form of light snow showers Nov. 11. 1998. There will be come more light snow showers the next several weeks and the first snow fall of any accumulation should be Dec. 11 and 12. And we could have a white Christmas and New Year’s as O’Toole predicts a snow fall on Dec. 24 and 25 and again on Jan 1-8. We received 65 inches of snow last year and it was the most in 15 years. Temperatures for November, January and April should be below normal and very cold this winter. With regard to precipitation, O'Toole predicts average rain fall in November, February and March. In December and January we should see alot of rain and snow. The majority of the predicted snow should occur in December and January. Besides the above average precipitation in December, 1993 and January, August, and September of 1994, the remaining months of 1994 will have average or below average precipitation. Unfortunately. June and July 1994 should see very little rain. Interestingly last year in our news release we wrote, “Fall 1992, winter 1992-1993 and the first half of spring 1993 should see a lot of precipitation, then we should see a lack of rain during the second half of spring 1993 and all of the '93 summer.” How correct Professor O’Toole was! O’Toole started forecasting the weather for the Almanack in 1970. Over the past 24 years, his predictions have been 05 percent correct. That’s not bad when he does it 18 months in advance. For the third time in the history of the Almanack due to inquiries by our readers, the Almanack is accpeting suitable writings such as short stories and poems from our readers. Therefore, in the Almanack, one will find some very interesting articles that our readers have submitted. These authors are not being financially compensated, however, they do get properly credited for their fine work and also receive six copies of the 1994 Almanack to be shared with their friends as a token of the Almanack's appreciation for their fine work.
