J Hearings Scheduled On 'Field Party' Standards By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Planning Commission will be holding a public hearing on proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance for holding “field par- ' " ties” at next Wednesday night’s meeting. As currently proposed these “additional standards” will apply to both “for profit and non-profit” groups planning to have carnivals, fairs, shows or music festivals. These amendments have been drawn up because Sheriff John Henry Woodward said counties around Rappahannock are making it more difficult for people to hold such events and as a result they are being held in this county. Currently a special exception is required to hold such an event, but there are no standards for issuing a special exception except for the general standards that apply to any special exception. The proposed amendments would require that music at such an event not last longer than eight hours and end by 11 p.m. Someone promoting such an event would have to provide a statement “setting forth their name(s), address(es), financial backing, and including a signed permission from the property owner.” The statement would also have to include “the expected number of attendees, and shall provide a sample of the ticket or badge of admission to the event, as well as samples of advertisements or other promotional material.” Events with more than 200 expected may be required to post bond. The sponsor will also have to state how food, water, medical and sanitation facilities will be provided and how trash and garbage and sewage will be removed. The plan must include a plat showing parking areasThe plan must also explain how security will be provided. Lights must be shielded so they don’t shine on surrounding property. The sheriffs department must have permission to visit the event to make certain the rules are being followed. If the rules are violated the applicant will not receive a permit for another such event for five years. Under the proposed amendments County Administrator John McCarthy can issue a permit for such an event “no more frequently than once in three years” if he receives an application 30 days in advance, and the county can set fees for the application. Water-Sewer Board Deals With Meter and Septage Plans By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The flow meter at the Sperryville sewer plant is still malfunctioning. It seems to be affected by the cold, and has been repaired, but still does not appear to be working accurately, member Charles K. “Pete” Estes told members of the Water and Sewer Authority last Thursday. Members authorized Mr. Estes to order a new flow meter and have it installed, if he feels that is the best solution. The cost for this will be $1600 and the flow meter will come with a warranty. Member and treasurer Carson Johnson said he felt it would be cheaper to have the maintenance person at the plant install the meter, but member Richard Smith said a warranty would probably not be offered unless the flow meter is installed by the company it w’as purchased from. The consensus was that a new meter should be bought and installed rather than continue fixing the present one and having it still not work correctly. The WSA’received donations of an air conditioner, from the jail, and an electric typewriter from the county offices. Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper submitted a bid for designing a septage pretreatment system which must be completed by September, 1994. The bid is for $4,882 and does not include any equipment. A representative of the company will be asked to come speak to the members of the WSA, and more bids will be sought. Mr. Smith will take care of obtaining these bids. Another Dog Poisoned Reward Is Increased The reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the recent dog poisonings in our community is now up to $700. Another dog^ was poisoned last week according to animal warden Ray Pullen. The earlier cases were in the Flint Hill area, but the most recent case was in the Washington area, Mr. Pullen said. Supporters of the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League request that if you have information, please contact the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department at 675-3331 or 987-8787. All information will be kept confidential. Sheriff John Henry Woodward asks any dog owners who are victims of these acts to put any container that may have contained poison out of reach of other pets, but not to clean it. The sheriffs office would like to have such containers for evidence. Katzen to Voters, 'Thanks' for Support He Plans Richmond Service By SANDY HUME Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s a rare politician who does not go door-to-door before an election, asking constituents for their support. It’s an even rarer politician, however, who goes door-to-door a fter an election, thanking constituents for their support. Jay Katzen is that rarity. Since his victory over incumbent Jerry Wood for the 31st District House of Delegates seat, Katzen has split time between Richmond and the precincts in Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren counties, slapping backs, offering thanks to# people whether they voted for hinror not, and reaffirming his enthusiasm to be serving them. Katzen is, without doubt, a bom campaigner. If you are walking somewhere in a hurry, bringing him along is a bad idea. He feels a compelling need to catch every eye, to shake every hand, to greet every passerby. His sense of public service is almost unsettling; he is as quick to discuss an issue with you as he is to offer to pick your kids up from school. But if Katzen has a little trouble snapping out of campaign mode, it’s understandable. After announcing his candidacy on Dec. 1992, he launched a campaign offensive in which he says he knocked on more than 14,000 doors. He left Jerry Wood, who started later and adopted a more leisurely pace, in the dust. And Katzen loved every minute of it. “It was the greatest experience I’ve had — the most pleasurable one in my whole life,” he says. “I’ve done a good number of things, but I’ve never enjoyed anything as much as this campaign. I really mean that.” 'Katzen has a habit of following blanket statements such as this one with “I really mean that,” as though he fears his earnest and solemn demeanor might be deemed unctuous. The long hours, the constant fundraisers — the very things politicans so often cite as reasons not to seek another term — Katzen loved them all. “I can’t, to tell the honest truth, think of anything that I didn’t like about it. And I really mean, that.” •> For a man so enamored of all the things involved in a quest for political office, naming his single favorite aspect of campaigning comes surprisingly easy. “Meeting people,” he says without pause. “The greatest pleasure and satisfaction for me wras working with the people and learning what was on their minds, and learning that we shared a great number of points of view on where their lives can and should be improved.” With Katzen the discussion of politics never strays far from “the people.” His populist rhetoric speaks constantly of the need to give government back to them, and his campaign strategy, as he describes it, had two simple goals: to meet as many of them as possible and to incorporate their views into his. ‘T spoke to people for a good number of months, telling them what my views were, but more importantly, first hearing what their views were. That was a key aspect See Katzen, Page A-8 >>' l. All State Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Mike Grimsley won All-State recognition after finishing 10th in Blacksburg Saturday.

United Way Serves County Citizens By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Although Camp Happy Land run by the Salvation Army is not a Piedmont United Way agency, three Rappahannock youngsters were able to attend the residential camp free thanks to the United Way. Last spring Marie Davis, who works for the lccal Social Services Department knew of the three children who would benefit from a week at camp but could not afford it. She contacted the Piedmont United Way to see if they could help, and the United Way came through with funds so the children could have a week at camp. Services for Abused Families is a United Way agency that does directly benefit Rappahannock citizens. This organization, generally known as SAFE, provides shelter, food, clothing and many other Services to women and their children who setek a haven away from an abusing spouse. According to Lous Smith, services coordinator for SAFE, the agency served 18 to 20 Rappahannock women and their children last year. The agency provides referrals for legal advice, couselling even medical treatment for those needing these services. A typical stay at the shelter is 30 days, Ms. Smith said. SAFE provides services to men as well as women and provides couples counselling when that seems appropriate. The staff at SAFE do not interfere if the woman decides to return to her home, she said. The location of the shelter is confidential, and the fact that any particular person is staying there is also confidential. SAFE went through a crisis in the past year. The building that the agency had been using for a shelter was sold. SAFE was able to stay in the building until a replacement could be found. A grant from the state covered the purchase of a building, and successful fundraising to renovate the building enabled SAFE to move into a new shelter early this month. Twenty of Rappahannock’s senior citizens, who were homebound, received hot meals through the Meals for the Elderly program funded by the United Way. A total of 1,350 meals were delivered. Irma Peters, who directs this program for the Community Services Board, reported that frequently this program is only used on a temporary basis, but sometimes it is long-term. The agency is often notified that a patient is about to be discharged from the hospital who will be homebound for a few weeks. The Community Services Board reserves its United Way funds strictly for this program of providing meals for the homebound elderly. Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center in Warrenton is a relatively new agency providing services to Rappahannock clients. The organization became separate from its parent organization Rappahannock Dispute Resolution with headquarters in Fredericksburg in 1992. Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center provides services to mediate disputes, sometimes preventing them from ending up in court. Patty Cloud, president, said, “One of our primary objectives is to show that mediation can be an alternative to going to court.” Mediators are trained volunteers. They may enter the picture in mediating divorce situations, helping the parties reach agreement on property division and child visitation and custody. They are also prepared to mediate in school and business situations. Ms. Cloud said the organization also holds mediation workshops, teaching students, for example, how to mediate disputes between two of their peers. She said the organization had served a few Rappahannock clients and is prepared to serve more. Currently clients are referred by SAFE, Rappahannock Legal Services and the courts themselves. Ms. Cloud said she expects more court referrals once the Family Court system is established. The Virginia Skyline Girl Scout Council serves more Rappahannock residents than any of the other agencies that receive funds from the Piedmont United Way. This council, with headquarters in Salem, provides training for leaders and programs for girls throughout a very large region. There are about 70 girls in seven troops ranging from kindergartenaged Daisy Girl Scouts to highschool-aged Cadette Girl Scouts in Rappahannock County affiliated with the Girl Scout Council. At the end of last wreek, Piedmont United Way had raised $86,600, about 42 percent of the goal for the current campaign. The campaign ends Nov. 18, and much more money must come in if the goal of $205,000 is to be reached. Contributions and pledges may be mailed to Piedmont .Unsited Way at P.O. Box 398, Culpeper, Va. 22701. Donations may be designated for particular agencies or assigned to the general campaign.

When Joyce Abell volunteered to try the computer for a search by subject matter, other members suggested she try under “poetry” and then under “collections.” Only four books showed up under those subjects. Grace Sims, a Library Board member w’ho had done a lot of cataloging for the library using the old card system, was horrified. She knew that the library had many more collections of poetry. However, the books were not cataloged that way in the computer program, which is based on the Library of Congress system. A second search under “Civil War” produced a list of over 300 books, a listing that took many computer screens to show. It began with a long listing of books intended for children, with a “J” as the first item under the call number. An effort to get the computer to get those books out of the list, using “not juvenile” failed. Both Mr. Small and library staffer Betty Smith said that the program could be changed and those problems could be fixed. However Mr. Small joked that computer programs will always have “bugs” in them so computer programmers can stay employed. Ms. Smith explained that the library had received a $24,000 grant from the state to purchase the public access catalog. The state is interested in getting all the records of public libraries in a computerized format to help with interlibrary loans and to prevent duplication of expensive research materials. Although Ms. Smith, who has helped the library convert to the new system, explained that the new system will enable the library’s workers to get new books onto the; shelves faster and will make it possi-; ble for the staff to prepare reports ini a fraction of the time required with, the old system, ordinary patrons and board members seemed prepared to1 head back to the old card catalog. >' Ms. Smith explained that the’ next step in the computerization process will be getting bar codes on all the books and library cards. Then' the workers will be able to quickly! check books in and out, and can even! check to see if the patrons owe fines.; Ms. Smith’s card, for example* showed that she ow ed the library $1. The computerized check in and out system should be ready by thfl first of the year, she explained. Take a load off your heart. RANCE LEE SPELLMAN October 29, 1946 - November 9, 1982 FALL. Time again to reflect upon the life of Ranee Spellman; time again to recall and celebrate a particular facet of this special man who managed Points of View Farm. FALL: also a time for many men to prepare for serious hunting of deer and other wildlife. Ranee was raised as a hunter and to use, care for and respect guns. An excellent marksman, he had hunted from boyhood with his father and older brother. Yet when he arrived at Points of View in late fall of 1979, Ranee abandoned hunting. We remember the moment well. He shot and dressed a deer that first fall, for venison for the farm. Then he announced that this kill would be his last, that he could not and would not take another deer nor any other wildlife. And he never did. In spring, the nests of squirming baby rabbits, birds or other of earth's littlest creatures were safe from his huge earth-moving equipment. He refused to disturb them. He forbade others to do so. Thus a job might be disrupted for days or weeks until a mother and her young left a nest. What caused him to change this way? Quiet, intensely private, he did not explain himself. A visiting film writer, researching Ranee's life for a script, suggested: “Ranee was evolving.” He had lost interest in hunting but only for himself. He did not oppose it for others. It may have come from something else: no stranger to him was sudden death. He had witnessed it all too frequently for one so young: Vietnam, his hither, his mother, a girl fiiend. Ranee was a builder, a creator, a farmer. His innate artistry and unusual productivity left its mark from the Hickerson Mt. ridgetop, where he is buried, to the lush valley named for him — Rancelee Vale. This man who could not kill animals lost his life, while working, to an angry, unforgiving blast of a deer rifle at age 36. We lost a mend with a life-affirming spirit. He would have just turned 47. He lives indelibly in memories — and is profoundly missed. Points of View Farm Flint Hill November 9, 1993 1993 Ranee Lee Spellman Memorial Award Brandon W.

Thf Audit Bureau Phones Why do Rappahannock residents, 6,622 of them according to the 1990 census, need seven telephone exchanges. Technically one could handle the entire county. Two would be more than sufficient. Instead we have citizens with 987 and 675 exchanges, which are truly Rappahannock exchanges, except that a few people in Madison County also have 987 exchange numbers and can call our county seat in Washington but not their own in Madison. In the northern end of the county we also have 636 and 635 exchanges, people who technically have Warren County telephone numbers and can call Front Royal, but not their county seat in Washington, which is served by the same telephone company. Then we have 937 and 547 exchanges. These are considered Culpeper numbers. These people can call Culpeper and even Madison, but not Washington. We even have a few people with 364 telephone numbers. This is a Fauquier County exchange. ; We believe people in Rappahannock County should be able to call each other without paying long-distance toll charges. At the very least everyone should be able to call 675 numbers in the county seat. We urge our representatives to the General Assembly to consider this problem, which is probably common throughout the state, and enact a bill to require that long-distance charges be dropped between telephone numbers serving people in the same county. We suspect that the telephone companies won’t like such an idea, fearing that they may lose some revenue, but that seems the least acceptable level of service to us. If the telephone companies don’t want to allow people on all those different exchanges to be able to call 675 and 987 numbers, they could just give us all 987 and 675 numbers. Cross Country In the 1970s Culpeper high school had a boys’ basketball coach who also coached cross-country. He insisted that all his basketball players, who weren’t on the football team, run cross-country. As a result Culpeper not only had a formidable cross-country team, but once the basketball season started, this team could consistently outscore most opponents because of their greater speed and excellent conditioning. Rappahannock County High School has just finished a very successful season in cross country, but the girls only had two runners and the boys had only five. With several more girls running and a few more boys, the teams might well have finished first or second in the district. We hope next year more students will go out for crosscountry. VETERANS DAY THUPiS- NOV. IIth -A u/c SALUTE. YOU ALL Rappahannock Heritage Sheep dot this is the view looking west from Fairlea Farm in Washington. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan L Fun Fest Successful To the Editor: This year’s RCES Halloween Fun Fest was the most successful Fun Fest ever at Rappahannock Elementary School. A large part of this success was due to the participation and support given by Rappahannock and surrounding area citizens. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those people who helped make our 1993 Halloween Fun Fest a memorable event. Donation were given by Winston May-2 Redskin Tickets, F&M Bank (Flint Hill Branch)-$50 Savings Bond, Day’s Creations of the Warreton Grafters Mall-Witch Doll, Cabin Fever-Book, The Beauty Box-Haircut, and Settles Grocery-10 bags of ice. I also want to thank those parents and 6th grade students who baked goos, gave candy for the treat bags, and donated their time to help run the games and sell tickets. Thanks to Ellen Joback, my cochair, who did the calling around to get the prizes for the rsffle along with other leg work. A huge thanks goes to those wTho worked in the Haunted School House all night: Gary Graves, Wendy Whitford, Jim Joback, Zach Corbin, Chris Graves, and Joey Joback. Plenty of screaming was heard in the hallways. A special thanks goes to the workers who helped me set up the entire Halloween Fun Fest, when my scheduled workers couldn’t show, and who stuffed the 200 treat bags of candy given out: Chris Graves, Jeremy Graves, Bruce Chadwick and Dawn Winslow-Chadwick. Bruce and Dawn do not even have children in our school system. Once again thanks to all of you for making the Halloween Fun Fest a success. KAROL GRAVES RCES PTO President Hayrides Cancelled To the Editor: The Child Care & Learning Center had to cancel the Fifth Annual Haunted Hayrides due to two days of rain and very sloppy ground conditions that would have been hazardous to all. Cancelling this event has meant a loss of about $2000 in fundraising revenues that we count on for our scholarship program. We are refunding advance ticket money to anyone that asks, and we thank the many people who have generously made donations of their ticket money. I want to take this opportunity to thank the staff, the Board and the many parent volunteers of the Child Care and Learning Center for their hours of preparation for the “hayride that never happened.” I want to publicly thank Kathy Kreyling, our Haunted Hayride Acts Director, for lining up so much local talent for this community event. We’ll look foward to next year! ROSE ANN SHARP Exec. DirofCCLC Daylight Savings Idiocy To the Editor: Having just reprogrammed VCR’s, display phones, clock radios, a travel alarm, and backing up countless old-time clocks that should not be backed up, I was only slightly consoled at hot having to change the photo cell that turns on the bam light at dusk. What Idiocy! Daylight can not be saved by anyone’s changing a clock. The change in the number of hours of sunlight per day is the inevitable result of the tilt of the Earth and as such can not be affected by legislated time changes. The analogy of the primordial who cut off the top of his blanket and sewed it onto the bottom because his feet were cold is only too obvious. Children shouldn’t go to school in the dark? Change the hours of the schools, not everyone else’s. Whenever the current hot political issues cool off, let’s start working on the ultimate stupidity of “Daylight Savings Time.” PHIL IRWIN Flint Hill Bloodmobile A Success To the Editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock County Extension Homemakers Club, we would like to thank the community for its outstanding support of our Bloodmobile on Monday, Nov. 1. Thank you to the Washington Fire and Rescue Squad for allowing us to use their building in which to sponsor the Red Cross Bloodmobile. A special thanks goes out to all 43 persons who took the time and made the effort on a blustery November day to see if they were eligible to donate blood. Many of them may have been influenced by the memory of the wonderful sandwiches and pound cake provided by Alice Pullen in the canteen after the blood donation! Thanks also to the three “firsttime donors” who can now attest to the fact that donating blood is a safe, virtually painless and gratifying way of giving a gift of life. We, and the Red Corss, appreciate the community support and the individual’s giving of themselves. We look forward to seeing all of you at our next Bloodmobile in May 1994! MARIE DAVIS, MARIE RIEDEL Co-Chairpersons Newspaper Travels Slowly To the Editor: Today is Monday, Nov, 1, 1993. The last edition of your paper that I received was you Oct. 6 edition. It took our U.S. Postal Service 16 days to deliver it. Since your next publication was Oct. 13, I have now been waiting 19 days for my beloved postman to deliver that edition. With my savvy for calculation, and considering that my home is just 30 miles below Charlotte, N.C., in South Carolina, I estimate that my paper is travelling via U.S. Mail at the unbelievalble speed of 21 miles a day!! My Lord, The Pony Express travelled twice as fast in the 1800’s, and without the need of five-digits, automation, and airplanes. Can I hope that the Rappahannock News will soon hire daring men who will mount their trusty steeds and who, with stops at Charlottesville, Roanoke, Winston, and Salisbury, where they will find fresh horses for the ride to York, still make it 15 days ahead of the current mail service? To complain to the Postal Service is fruitless. They are civil servants who seem to answer to no one. But I remember every time there has been a postal increase, it was always for equipment that would modernize our mail service, speed our delivery. Can anyone imagine the chaos that would befall the U.S. should U.P.S., Federal Express and others go out of business and all the millions of pieces of mail and packages would be dumped on the Postal Services? I can only hope to get my next Rappahannock Neivs at least before the season’s change again. At this rate, I should be reading about Christmas in Little Washington as our TV weatherman is reporting about spring flowers and the swallows returning to Capistrano. So what do citizens of this'^ountry do? Maybe some of your readers can offer a frustrated Carolinian some advice, or better still, some hope. i rememoer reading tne piay, “The Glass Menagerie" and remeber a statement made by one the leading characters named Tom. O’Neil’s character summed up what could surely be a perfect slogan for the U.S. Postal Service. Tom said, “Time is the longest distance between two places.” Could we have bben thinking of York and Washington? BILL CURRY York, S.C. (Editor's Note: Copies of the Rappahannock News headed oat of our immediate area are left at tlie Warrenton Post Office Wednesday evening following printing. Mr. Curry's experiences are common for our North and South Carolina subscribers.) Goblins Welcome To the Editor: During the “trick or treating” Sunday evening in Washington, a father of a “trickster” left a dollar bill in the basket 1 was holding to pass out treats. He said he lived in one of the hollows where no one goes house to house and wanted to thank Washington residents for hosting Halloween for Town and County children. He was leaving a dollar at each house where his family had been welcomed. 1 was speechless. I don’t even recall saying thanks. He was gone before I could think about asking his name or giving his dollar back. Part of living in Washington is welcoming visitors, for the Fodderstack 10K, July Fourth, Colonial Christmas, and just about every day and weekend. But, opening our front doors to ghosts and goblins and clowns and witches on Halloween (accompanied by parents who seem to be having as much fun as their children) is a special treat, because the visitors are our neighbors and the welcomes are personal, one on one. So. 1 want to say to the anonymous donor, his throughtful gesture was appreciated, but wasn’t really necessary. And, I’d like to say thanks personally and return you dollar. I hope you and your family will be back next year. RAY GOOCH Washington. Voters and Workers Thanked To the Editor: I would like to thank the voters of Rappahannock County for supporting the Republican candidates in last weeks election. These victories in the county (Allen/Farris/Gilmore/Katzen) send a loud and clear message that conservatism is still alive and well. The political pundits are reading many things into the outcome o£the ’93 election, both here and around the country. I won’t attempt to address those issues; however, by visiting around the county this fall I saw the level of excitement that our candidates had generated. The hope for real change was evidenced by the vote and the large turn out of volunteers working at the polls this year. I would also like to thank all the volunteers for their hard work and the Rappahannock News for this opportunity to do so.

Wednesday, November 10, 1993 AO* 'Oh, It's Just a Little War/ the Floor Maid said County Resident Reports on Russian Melee By JOHN W. KISER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer It might have been July 4th, except it was Oct. 4 and I was in Moscow. On Sunday, the day after my encounters with the nationalists, a pitched battle had been fought around my appropriately named Belgrade Hotel. In the late afternoon, thousands of supporters of Alexander Rutskoi and the Parliamentary rump had come armed into the streets. That same night, a bloody attack had been launched on the Moscow TV station causing a temporary news blackout for those without CNN. Unfortunately, I was visting a friends in another part of Moscow for a late lunch that afternoon. He had virtually forced me to stay put when news of the violence was announced by telephoning friends. I wanted to returned to the Belgrade where I had, from my 17th floor perch, a front row seat on one of the main battle fronts along the Garden Ring and Smolensky Square. Under great pressure from Boris and his wife, I reluctantly followed their pfudent advice and stayed the night with them. Monday morning I impatiently drove back to my hotel, though Boris was still nervous about my braving the streets. We heard gunfire crackling in the direction I was to go, but I figured as long as Anatoly w'as willing to take me, it couldn’t be that dangerous. He had a familv too. and the police blocked off the most dangerous areas anyway. The streets around the Frunze Embankment where Boris lived looked quite normal, and people were going to work as usual. All was calm. Taking various side streets to avoid main thoroughfares, Anatoly got me to my hotel in 10 easy minutes. We pulled into Smolensky Square at 8:30 a.m. where there was much more activity than usual. People were streaming toward the Kiev Bridge that crossed the Moscow River just below my hotel. I hurried up to my room to change for my meetings that day. Sounds of machine guns crackling like Chinese firecrackers, punctuated by cannon rounds, bounced off the huge Stalin Gothic Ministry of Foreign Affairs across the square, rattling the windows of my room. Just then, the floor maid came into my room. “What’s happening?” I asked. “Oh, it’s just a little war,” she said. “It will be over this evening.” I called my first meeting which was scheduled for 10:00 and said 1 would be an hour late due to blockades and diversion. I wasn’t quite up to telling them I wanted to watch the war. Crowds were flowing down to the embankment with an air of excited anticipation, like fans rushing to the football stadium anxious not to miss the kickoff. I could immediately see a dense mass of humanity on the Kiev bridge looking towards thw towering wedding cake of a Parliament building, the so-called White House, where the diehards were making their last stand. At the river, a hundred yards from my hotel, there were thousands of people stretching on both sides oi tne emoanKment trom tne Kiev Bridge for a quarter of a mile right up to the Kutuzovsky Prospect bridge, directly in front < i the parliament building that was under attack. The White House was now billowing black smoke like a hugh Mississippi riverboar chugging upstream. Making my way along the embankment, I was emboldened to go closer to the front line by the absence of fear among the Russians. More young than old, more men than women, the atmosphere was a strange mixture of carnival and wake. Anxiety, concern, laughter, amusement, joking and sadness were all reflected in the moods and faces around me. But not fear. Cars whose radios were carrying event live became listening posts for those desiring commentary on the action in front of them. Armored personnel carriers clanked along the embankment road joining others parked beyond the Kutuzovsky Bridge in front of the White House. These seemed to act as a phalanx of fire-power and shelter for the government troops besieging the building. I worked myself gradually nearer the fighting line looking for signs of hesitation in others, but did not find them. If the distribution of onlookers from the Kiev bridge to the Kutuzovsky Prospect presented a prudence/timidity-boldness/foolhardiness index of the people present, then the foolhardy and timid were about equally represented. The biggest clusters were at the extreme positions of either safety — the Kiev bridge, or danger — the Kutuzovsky Prospect. The majority were moving towards the wall of bodies that was lining the railing of the Kutuzosky Prospect. A bombed. out trolley bus and several water trucks were parked there. Tank rounds were being fired into the White House only 100 meters away, and a steady sparkle of small arms fire was putting most forward observers within ricochet distance. Yet the forces of attraction were stronger than those of repulsion: curiosity and history making entertainment overpowered concern for mere physical safety. On the contrary, this was a political barbecue on a grand scale. This was a live war game, much better than any virtual reality, and it was free of charge in a city were the cost of everything else had skyrocketed. As I came up the stairs from the embankment road to the Kutuzovsky Prospect bridge, one of my first sights was an older lady sitting calmly on a stone bench holding her dog in her lap curiously observing passersby as if it were Sunday af ternoon in Central park. Sporty bomber jackets gave an unreal American flavor to the scene. The Detroit Redwings, Chicago Bulls, The Rednecks and other real and imaginary teams were well represented on the backs of the men pushing against the railing of the Kutuzovsky Bridge for the front seat view of bullets bouncing off the White House and gun flashes firing at unseen targets. Unly this could not be America. Live war as a popular form of entertainment fell out of favor after the first battle of Manassas, when the expected jolly Union victory turned into a messy rout. Stuggling to join the foolhardiest of the foolhardy, I sensed a tremor of alarm suddenly sweep through the bodies pressed against the railing closest to the firing. For a micro second, dozens of feet started to make one hundred eighty degree turns. A bullet, a ricochet, a sound or draft of air too close, something caused a tiny fleeting moment of fright and flight in the body language of the people in front of me. Fortunately, the moment subsided as quickly as it arose. At that instant, being trampled to death by a panicked herd seemed to be a greater danger than a stray projectile. One man with a video camera was having a playful argument with his wife. She thought maybe they should get further away and tugged at his sleeve. He laughed confidently, saying, “No, they will not shoot at the people.” Up on a first floor window ledge facing directly towards the White House, several men stood together and jokingly held one in front of the other as a prospective shield, just in case. Late for my 11:00 meeting across town, I reluctantly broke away from this tantalizing narcotic of danger. “What do you think?” I asked Anatoly as we headed for the Bardin Metallurgical Institute on the other side of town. “Rutskio and his followers should all be shot quietly in the night,” he replied. “I do not like Yeltsin so much, but he is. the only leader we have. We must support him.” Alter a boring day ot meetings in the otherwise peaceful parts of Moscow, I returned to my hotel to hear the sounds of battle still going full force. The Kutuzosky bridge had now been cleared of spectators. I decided to observe the matinee performance from the other side of the Moscow River at the Ukraine Hotel, another gothic monstrosity situated directly across the river from the Parliament. Walking down the other side of the embankment, people were still mesmerized by the sight of their symbol of democracy having holes punched in it. As I got to the Kutuzosky Prospect, the festivities were in full swing on the embankment road leading underneath the bridge up the Ukraine. Music by Hari Krishna. Few paid much attention to the trio which banged a lugubrious dirge on their tambourines. Paratroopers, battle tanks, women and children, clusters of teenagers mingled in a scene from a Fellini movie. Five T-62 tanks, engines running and turrets aimed directly at the White House were exhausting fumes into a copse of birch trees where spectators, a motley assortment of soldiers, beer and cigarette smoke, mingled in a gaseous cloud. I wandered from this heady cocktail party up the grassy knoll which becomes a park in front of the hotel. Like picnickers at the horse races, spectators were scattered on the grass under the dominating statue of the Ukrainian writer, Taras Shevchenko. Only the checkered blankets and deviled eggs were missing. An elderly lady had eagerly Smoke billowed from the Russian Parliament building October 4. Associated Press Photo climed onto Taras himself. The large base offered an excellent vantage point for the backseat commanders to track the action with their vantage point for the backseat commanders to track the action with their vintage spyglasses and binoculars. Parents were strolling with children, some in baby carriages; attractive demoiselles were also out on reconnaissance in their own fashionable form of battle dress. The kiosks next to the Ukraine hotel were doing a brisk business selling beer, cigarettes and sandwiches, soldiers and populace intermingling in a friendly, easy manner. Around six o’clock, the fireworks began to die out as government troops escorted the last gaggle of defenders from the Parliament. The show was drawing to an end and I headed back to the Belgrade, but along the embankment the brushfires of citizen debate continued undiminished by the surrender at the White House. Throughout the day, arguments would spontaneously flare up and dissolve, sparked by a neighbor’s comment, or an overheard conversation. These emotional incendiary bombs were reminders of the deadly seriousness underlying this otherwise strangely passive, almost peaceful form of public spectacle. Looking downstream as I crossed back over the Kiev bridge, the perfectly square charcoaled midsection of the White House gave it the fleeting impression of having a hugh smoking black eye, an architectural cyclops. Still another metaphor. Just as my maid predicted, the little war was over by sunset. Now the big war over Russia’s soul could continue. (Editor's Note: John Kiser has a home near Slate Mills. He has been doing business in Russia for the past eight years and speaks passable Russian. He was in Moscow from Sept. 28 thru Oct. 6 and lived at the Belgrade Hotel near much of the fighting during that period.)

Kathleen Maier Herbs Used for Health' *> By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Newt Contributinc Writer Rappahannock herbalist Kathleen Maier emphasized in her talk at the library on last Sunday afternoon the traditional and universal character of the use of local plants to promote health and treat disease. Kathleen told us that she had first become interested in this subject as a Peace Corps volunteer in Chile, and she reminded us that the Eqyptians, Greeks, Chinese and virtually all peoples have always resorted to certain plants known to them to treat illnesses. Some of the wild plants or “weeds’* readily available here that she spoke of are nettles, burdock, ginseng, coltsfoot and mullein. Alfalfa, red clover, oatstraw and cornflowers, she said, also have beneficial properties when used for teas an<| tinctures. Each plant she discussed was recommended for either the heart, lungs, kidneys, digestive or skeletal system, or for other matters. Kathleen had brought two tea combinations of nettles and burdock,' which were sampled by the audience of about 30 people, along with herbspiced cookies, cakes and sandwiches. Many books are available as guides to both the identification and use of herbs, a few of which Kathleen had on hand and referred to. Similes By The Thousands By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Universal Press After the count passed 4,500, we kind of lost track. The thing got out ofhand. By “thing” I mean the Great Simile Contest of 1993. The idea was to submit similes for “slender” and “exciting.” To my delight, readers rose to the challenge like tropical fish at feeding time. Across the nation a hundred school teachers spurred their charges on. It was a glorious affray. By my final, more or less accurate count, 5,019 readers took part. Almost everyone had a go at both “slender” and “exciting,” and most contestants submitted four or five similes in each division. One gentlewoman in San Antonio set in 172 entries. My guess is that I looked at 20,000 similes, all told, and if I never again see “as slender as a blade of grass,” that will be too soon. Let me end the awful suspense. The winner in the “slender” contest is Aubuma R. Bonnell of Mount Pleasant, Mich. She submitted 71 entries, among them a young woman “as slender as Cinderella’s ankle.” The simile struck the judges as just about perfect. It evoked a familiar image; it had a nice echo effect in “slender” and “Cinder,” and it was packed as tightly as the meat in a coconut. These were the Honorable Mentions: __ i fr‘ 5 *■' * * ;.v : « - Eve Martins, Youngstown, N.Y., for a youth “as slender as a' kayak on a river of scows. ” - Sean Thomas, Tucson, Ariz., for an image of impatient school children, waiting in line “like a row of slender saplings on a windy day.” - Howard Olson, Tryon, N.C., “as slender as a well rope.” - Mary L. Lee, Seattle, “as slender as the cusp of a crescent moon.” - Donna Herndon, Kannapolis, N.C., for the envious image of a woman “as slender as your husband’s old girlfriends.” Judging the “slender” entries was relatively easy. Judging the “exciting” entries was tougher. At least a thousand contestants tried “as exciting as the first kiss.” Another thousand opted for “as exciting as a baby’s first step.” Yet another thousand sought inspiration in sports: as exciting as a goal-line fumble, hole in one, grand slam in the ninth, and a 5-pound fish on a 2ounce line. These we set aside. Roughly half the entries in each contest were Similes Sarcastic, as distinguished from Similes Straight. One of the runners-up for “slender” was “as slender as Roseanne Arnold in a string bikini.” Ms. Arnold figured in several hundred such slanderous comparisons. Sumo wrestlers also were big. The winning entry in the “exciting” division came from Dorothy Cole of Charlotte, N.C. She found something “as exciting as a poached egg.” At one time or another, I suppose, almost everyone has looked at a poached egg. Kind of grabs you, doesn’t it? These were the Honorable Mentions: - From Gryffyd Dempsey of Portland, Ore., “as exciting as an island on the horizon.” - From Margaret G. Black of Worthington, Ohio, “as exciting as 20 minutes on a stationary bike.” - From William J. Barney of Orchard Park, N.Y., “as exciting as a race between the tortoise and Another tortoise.” - From Rosanne Hudson of Portland, Ore., “as exciting as a big truck to a small boy.” - From Jameson Todd of Biloxi; Miss., “as exciting as the first time she whispered, ’Unhook my bra.’” - From an unidentified seventhgrader in the St. Lorenz Lutheran school, Frankenmuth, Mich., “as exciting as reading the side of a cereal box.” The winners in each competition will receive checks for $50 each. The Honorable Mentions will receive fame, glory, and everlasting international renown. Who could ask for anything'more? Permit me a simile for “exciting^-as exciting as the students entries in this contest. They poured in b|’ the hundreds, from 114 schools in 21 states. Many of the teachers wrote to the same effect: Youngsters enjoy a contest-any king of contest~and a simile-writing contest had more appeal than just plain ordinary writing. Many of the participating youngsters submitted entries that were just short of the Honorable Mention level. It occurs to me that if we have a Great Simile Contest of 1994, there ought to be separate divisions for elementary, middle and high schools. It’s something to think about. On that note, let me say thanks to the 5,019 contestants, and to the newspapers that forwarded their entries. Writing can be very harxl work. It also can be good fun. COPYRIGHT 1993 UNIVERSAL PRESS Social Security: What's In It for You? For '30 Somethings/ It's a Long Wait By BRUCE A. HUNDLEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer So you’re “thirty-something” and you have worked for 10 years or more. You’ve been paying into Social Security all that time. And now’ you’re thinking about the years that lie ahead until you’re “sixty-something” and can start receiving Social Security retirement benefits. The good news is that you may have already worked long enough to become eligible for benefits when you reach retirement. The bad news is you need to keep working. In addition to working for the money you need for the necessities and luxuries in your life, you’ll need to work to increase the amount of your Social Security retirement benefit. If you were able to retire at “thirty-something” after acquring the maximum credits needed to qualify for Social Security (40 credits-equivalent to 10 years-of work) your benefit amount would be far below the amount you would receive after working 30 or more years at higher wages. In general, a Social Security benefit is based on your earnings adjusted for inflation and averaged over your highest 35 years. But there’s more to Social Security than just the monthly checks you’ll receive when you retire. All through those years you are working and paying into Social Security, you and your family are protected by the disability and survivors’ programs. This means that if you become disabled and are unable to do any kind of work for which you are suited for at least 12 months, you could receive monthly Social Security disability checks. The chances of becoming disabled are not as remote as you may think. Studies show that one out of four young workers will become disabled some time during his or her lifetime. If that happens to you, not only would you receive Social Security benefits, but your spouse and young children may qualify as well. If you die before reaching retirement age, members of your family may be eligible for benefits on your Social Security record. They include a widow or widower age 60 and older or age 50 or older and disabled; a widow or widower any age who is caring for your child who is under age 16 or disabled; your unmarried children under age 18 or under age 19 who are still in high school; a child age 18 or older who is severely dis abled; and your parents, if they were dependent on you for at least half of their support. To learn more about the Social Security programs and what they mean to you, call or visit your Social Security office and ask for a copy of “Understanding Social Security.” You also can call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213. Time Machine Askew By WALTER DAY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The off-again-on-again of my DAY BY DAY efforts according to the whimsy of the Editor de Jour has made me a very cinical critic of the weekley Rappahannock News product. When the whimsy did suit to print there was always the threat usually realized wherein the piece was changed and/or shortened. When queried the ususal reason was that there was insufficient room. I was always offended by this because I could usually compare my items to others in the publication which were grossly uninteresting. A good example was usually found under the heading “30 Years Ago.” The item had not been interesting when originially printed much less currently. When I question the management about why they would waste space on such idiocy the reply was the classic, “We have always done it that way!” I present the following as a good example of typical past events that you might find more exciting. ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGE August 1893 The 17 YEAR year locust made a record appearance. The Government proposed that the locust be used as food. Processing by frying in olive oil, added salt and hot pepper. Those who tried the edible locust reported it very tasty. Nutrition experts stated that it had great nutriennt values. it was suggested that farmers who have had their crops destroyed by the locust recoup losses by netting and cooking the insects for sale. Upon request a goverment extension agent would call and instruct on the processing in each affected county. There was limited acceptance due to very slow sales of the processed locusts. This idea was forgotten for seventeen years. Then th? locust appeared again they were not quite so numerous. The project was then dropped. Several employees with 17 years of federal employment were dissmissed. This action resulted in considerable savings to thie Government, not only the money paid to the employees but a much larger amount of retirement the^ would have been due in two more years. This action resulted in a budget surplus in 1910. This surplus was given to the tobacco industry to develope a more virulent strain of leaf. The economic philosophy is supporting this research was that it would increase the numbers of addicts and therefore income to the Government by the increase in tax revenue of tobacco. Harry Hack, the chief of the department was awarded the annual medal for outstanding Federal Service for 1910. (This is a USDAJ report) (and not necessarily true)

School Sports End 9 * By CINDY M AH AN -J Rappahannock Nears staff Writer High school senior Mike Grimsley placed 10th in the State Gross Country championship meet held in Blacksburg last weekend. He finished with a a time of 17:54. Jason Waters came in 27th with a time of 18:26, and Holly Gangel finished 21st in the girl’s race. , Coach David van de Graaff is very proud of his cross country team; they had a 10-2 season. During the season, Rappahannock lost only to Central and Strasburg. The Central and Strasburg boys’ teams were first and second in the state meet. “We would have a much better chance of going to the state meet as a team if we could have 10 boys and 10 girls on the team,” said van de XJraaff. Rappahannock’s Junior Varsity Girls’ basketball team defeated Clarke County last week by 36 to 14, their biggest win of the season. Coach Emily Wingate said, “It was the ideal game, and was what we tried to do all year. I was really impressed with the players that came off the bench and kept up the tempo the whole game.” " In the game against Clarke County on November 2, the leading scorer was Sharnita Fletcher with 16 points and eight steals. “She had 8 great game,” said Coach Wingate. Other team members with good scoring were Tiffany Stokes with seven points and Holly Gangel with fdur. 1 *' “The Lady Panthers had a case of ‘senioritis’ last week,” said Coach Gary Leake about the varsity girls’ basketball team. On November 2, Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Susan Jewell was the varsity point guard. Clarke beat Rappahannock 36 to 22. “We are doing two, three or four different things wrong and right each game,” said Leake. “We had a bad shooting night.” The high scorers for the game against Clarke County were Bonnie Jewell with nine points, Laura McNear with five, and Leah Marlett with five. ii Rappahannock was only down eight points in the third quarter of the game against Brentsville on November 4, but ended up losing by 53 to 29. The varsity finished the season with three wins and 15 losses. The JV record was two wins and 16 loses. Disney Stonewalls on Rumors Of Prince William Park Site By JUSTIN M. NORTON Rappahannock News Staff Writer ‘ During the past few days, stories have circulated that Walt Disney Co. is planning to build a theme park in Northern Virginia, but noone seems to know whether Prince William County is really the proposed site. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Disney has either purchased or has options to buy land in Prince William County to build a theme park approximately the size of its Disneyland in California, a site totalling 185 acres. A Disney representative in Burbank, Calif., said Tuesday that Dis•ney is considering purchasing land in Virginia but did not elaborate. Although speculation has centered on the Gainesville area, apparently there is some indication that another possible site may be along the Interstate 95 corridor in eastern, Prince William. That area is already under study for an amusement park. The Lego Corp. is expected to announce later 4-H Animal Club Meets By ZACK CORBIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock 4-H Livestock Club has met twice so far this year.

On Tuesday evening, a fresh story circulated that Disney has chosen a site near the intersection of U.S. 15 and Interstate 66, also in western Prince William County. Terry Holzheimer, director of Loudoun County’s Department of Economic Development, said that nobody in Loudoun County had purchased tracts of land suitable for a theme park. Moreover, Holzheimer dismissed rumors that Disney would build a park on approximately 185 acres. He said any belief that Disney was buiding a park on 100 or 200 acres of ground was “pure speculation.” "Nobody has any information,” Holzheimer said. “We have looked at the land records to see if there were any transactions, but we couldn't, find any. There hasn’t been a large enough assemblage of land in Loudoun County to make us think that there might be a theme park. The pieces don’t seem to come together the way Disney might do something.” While some larger land sales have happened in Loudopn County, Holzheimer said that none were suitable for a park. Holzheimer said the only “park" he was aware of involved the plans of the Danish Lego Co. and its “Lego World” park.

Some for a year or more. But, however brief, it’s a terribly dangerous time for a family. If a child gets seriously ill, it can destroy a family’s security forever,” said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA. In Virginia, 55,000 people lose their health insurance each month, eleventh highest in the nation. f “Who are the two million? They’re people who get laid off. People who can no longer afford skyrocketing health premiums. They’re people who get sick and lose their coverage because of insurance company ’fine point,”’ Pollack said. Most people who lose health insurance are without insurance for less than a year, according to the report. About 48 percent of people who lose insurance become insured again within five months. “Two million Americans will lose their health insurance each and every month until we pass comprehen sive health reform,” Pollack said. The report uses data from the Census Bureau’s 1990 Survey of Income and Program Participation, updated with Census Bureau estimates of population changes to 1993., State estimates are based on data; from the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey and the U.S. De-i partment of Health and Human Services’ 1987 National Medical Ex-, penditure Survey. , Families USA is the consumed group fighting for health and long, term care reform. - THE jeeps, ARE HERE! ></ And Just In Time For Veterans Day!

3 £ ►Katzen From Page A-l of our success,” he explains. “People want their ideas to be heard and are flattered that someone goes out to hear them ... I just knew that from the beginning and it stood out on every door that I knocked.” Another key aspect of Katzen’s success, at least according to Jerry Wood, was negative campaigning. Katzen dismisses that argument. “Flagging for the voters what an incumbent's performance represented was not negative campaigning,” he contends. “I felt that was illuminating for voters what an incumbent had done during his service down in Richmond. I feel that’s a service for the voters.” During breaks in his “thank you” tour through his precincts, Katzen is busy readying himself for his first term, learning names and faces, attending orientations and gaining familiarity with rules and procedures. His strategy for success as a General Assembly delegate differs little from his strategy for success as candidate, and it focuses on — guess who — the people, “The greatest lesson of this campaign has been the wisdom of the people — not necessarily in voting for me, but their knowledge of the issues, and how better they want to be served. “People want their public officials to be held accountable for what they do. The old technique of coming back from Richmond and saying, ‘This is what I did ... look at all the money I brought you’... that doesn't work, because voters know that that’s their money to begin with. "We need to get people back involved in where their tax dollars are going. I’m not going to be cavalier and tell people that I know best about where their tax dollars ought to go.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Scott Farrell Jay Katzen sits at his former campaign headquarters on Main Street in Warrenton Katzen quickly rejects the suggestion that he might employ his extensive foreign policy experience with the U.S. State Department and use this office as a stepping stone. “I have no grand designs,” he maintains. “This is the fulfillment of a wonderful dream I have had, and my objective is serving the people of the 31st district as well as I can.” Have something to say about public issues?

My father, a Fairfax County schoolteacher, wanted to set up a small summer camp where inner-city children could come for free. First, however, he and my librarian-mother had to put their three children through College. Then Dad weathered a serious illness. He never regained the stamina he had, and his dream of a summer camp died. So my parents contented themselves spending weekends and summers in their dilapidated farmhouse outside Woodville. “Windy Hill Farm,” as they named it, became the Komeplace I never felt I had in the suburbs of Washington D.C. I hated living in Fairfax County, for reasons that have taken my a long time to understand. Certainly, it wasn’t my parents’ house. It was big--five bedrooms, three levels. It was surrounded my magnolia trees and flowers planted by my mother. It was on a quiet culde-sac in a safe neighborhood. And we were only a block from my high school. But I felt dead living there. My only contact with the neighbors was occasional babysitting jobs. My school was massive-1,700 kids-and my friends widely dispersed. Most of my time was spent traversing dense shopping corridors or housing developments in a car. Shopping was my main recreation. At Windy Hill, it was different. People came and stayed a while, just visiting. We hiked around the sorrounding mountains or played volleyball. Sometimes we rode the nags who grazed on my parents’ pasture. Quiet pleasures, relaxed relationships. A real home and community. Not just a place to mow the lawn and sleep. Today my parents are retired and live year-around in a new house they built at Windy Hill. My mother’s brother bought land next door. And everybody in the clan considers Woodville home. I tell you this background to explain my mixed feelings as I sat in the audience at the annual meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection last month. Several speakers alluded to the need to protect Rappahannock from the threat of people fleeing from the Washington area and seti tling in the county. • - t I’m one of those threats. I’m baclt in the Fairfax County house where t lived in high school. My husband, ait environmental lawyer at the Justice Department, and I bought it from my parents several years ago. And,‘ once again, I hate it. If my husband can convince his employer to let hirrf work from home via computer hook* up, we will join my parents in Rapn pahannock County. Thereafter I will probably feel the urge to chime in: “No more new* comers. They’re driving up the cost of land, ruining vistas and beautiful streams writh their selfish building sites, and clogging the roads with more cars. The last thing we need if another Fairfax-that’s what we fled from!” * But I hope I resist the urge, t hope I recognize the hypocrisy of it’ I hope I remember that even the old; est oldtimers cannot claim to have been the first in this beautiful county-the Indians were. $ Yes, Rappahannock is a treasury that must be protected. But surety there are ways to protect it without childishly saying, “I found it first* It’s mine. You go somewhere else. * Or effectively zoning out young peed pie who need jobs and poor people. ^ I have some ideas: Well-laid ou$ villages that promote walking, small shops, and low-impact recreatiofl (fishing, volleyball, horseshoes, and such.) I don’t envision a sterile de* velopment, just individual plots of land on which people can build ag they like. I am thinking of some of the lovely villages I once visited iq Great Britain where resident^ strolled to the local pub or bakery. * “But I don’t want to live in a vili lage,” I can hear some of you saying (including my privacy-loving husband). • * Fine. But do you really need 50 acres for privacy? How about limits ing yourself to five, and donating thd rest to preservation or to common use, such as trails for horses and hikers? I. {

Fall Sports End in Drizzle Coaches Look to Next Year By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writers The fall sports season came to an end this past weekend with youth soccer games played in the rain, high school senior Mike Grimsley placeing 10th in the State Cross Country championship meet in Blacksburg and a few adults joining the kids in the socer Pay to Play Sunday. It was a season of several successes for the cross country team and mostly disappointments for the girls’ basketball teams. It was also a season that saw more than 140 youngsters sign up to play youth soccer, and competition for Rappahannock’s first youth football team. Wakefield Country Day School also concluded its fall schedule. The girls’ varsity volleyball team posted a record of five wins and eight losses, with victories over Emanuel Christian, Wakefield School in Marshall (twice), and Massanutten Military Academy (twice). Bridget Hickson was named to the Delayney all-conference team. The soccer team finished with three wins, eight losses and two ties. David Brandt was the top scorer with 12 goals and was named to the Delayney Conference team. In cross country the WCDS har riers struggled to place a full team in the field. Opening at the Hampshire Heritage Days Festival in Romney, W.V., Oliver Culley placed first in the 17-18 year old group; Matthew Mccurry placed second in the 15-16 year old group, and Nick Konick placed fourth in the 14 and under group. The boys’team had one first place finish and three third place finishes during the regular season. The girls’ team managed only a third place finish. Oliver Culley and Matt McCurry were named to the all-conference team. Rappahannock County High School coaches expressed satisfaction with their seasons this fall. Cross country coach David van de Graaff said his boys’ team had a 10-2 record in regular season play. During the regular season, Rappahannock lost only to Central and Strasburg, and those teams ultimately placed first and second in the state for single A schools, he noted. “We would have a much better chance of going to the state meet as a team if we could have 10 boys and 10 girls on the team,” said van de Graaff. Of this year’s junior varsity girls’ basketball team, Coach Emily Wingate said,“It was a very productive season. The girls improved an incredible amount. Our biggest problem was a lack of experience because many girls don’t play organized basketball until the eighth grade. Next year it will be a lot better. ” Of his varsity girls’ teamCoach Gary Leake said, “I have been really satisfied this season. The girls have learned a lot and had a lot of fun. They stuck together in a lot of adverse situations. They are a very supportive, close knit team. They care about each other and had the desire to be good and to learn. That’s all I can ask as a coach. In that way, this season was a success.” Leah Marlett was the leading scorer for the season, averaging 13 points a game, and 12 rebounds. Although the Rappahannock Panther youth football team did not win any of its games this year, it was a first for the boys and the county. Coaches, boys and parents expect more success next year as all benefit from a first year of experience. In the youth soccer league Mark Pace’s team remained undefeated in the Under 10 age group after playing the Rappahannock Raptors to a scoreless tie last Saturday. In the under-8 group Rappahannock 1 defeated Rappahannock 2 by a score of 4 to 0. In the U-12 group Rappahannock 2 tied a St. Luke’s team 1 to 1. Rappahannock News Staff Photo Cindy Mahan Jordan Leake was basketball team favorite. Richard Price, co-commissioner of the Rappahannock Soccer League refereed both of the tied games. “They were really good games,” he said. He said he noticed great improvement in all the Rappahannock teams as the season progressed. Flint Hill Artist Finds Ideas Near Home Craft Shows and Catalogs Bring Successful Sales By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Geneva Welch’s enthusiasm is contagious. She is constantly on the lookout for a new scene to photograph and then paint. For her, and many artists would probably agree, one of the most desirable times to photograph is when the sun or clouds present a dramatic backdrop for the subject. Mrs. Welch also loves photographing in the snow. The Welches’ house sits in a stunningly beautiful setting in Flint Hill surrounded by nearly a 360 degree view of the mountains. Cattle, mostly Angus, dot the countryside, and a fox and her pups reside on the east end of the property. These animals have provided Mrs. Welch with many ideas for paintings. She always carries her camera, and often stops alongside the road to photograph when travelling. She graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond in 1970 with a degree in graphic design. Mrs. Welch worked for many years as a graphic designer and sign painter and in social w’ork, in Richmond and Key West. When her children wrere born, first Ryan and then Courtney, she decided to stay home with them. Her painting wTas done on the kitchen table at first, and her me Prints of ‘Clifton’ are available as note cards. dium was watercolors. She taught herself to paint. It was not something she had studied specifically in college. Watercolors were safe, just in case the children got into them, she decided. Now she sometimes paints in acrylics, but the majority of her paintings are still done in watercolor. While the children were small, Mrs. Welch also did some freelance work in graphic design. She was accepted into a Virginia Museum show for graphic designers and began doing craft shows in Virginia Beach, Petersburg, Norfolk, Williamsburg, and Richmond. She started out doing three or four shows annually, and gradually added more shows as the children grew. Today she spends approximately twenty weekends selling her work at craft shows. The next one she plans to participate in is the Maryland Christmas Show at the Frederick Fairgrounds in Frederick November 26-28 and December 3-5. “I always work up to the last minute before a show,” says Mrs. Welch. She normally spends most of the spring and summer photographing and painting all the time, because the fall is the busiest season for shows. Working in a 14 by 25 foot studio with tremendous views because she wouldn’t want to miss that perfect moment for a photograph, Mrs. Welch paints the scenes she loves: cows, “Holsteins are the best,” she says, foxes, quail, foxhunting, old barns apd stone structures. One of the most successful of her paintings is Holstein .35. Cheri Woodard of Faith Mountain Company in Sperryville saw a print of this painting and asked Mrs. Welch if she would like to sell prints of it in the catalog. “Being in the Faith Mountain catalog has helped a lot,” Mrs. Welch said. “In one year, over 900 framed prints of Holstein .35 sold out of the catalog,” she said. Some famous people now. own prints of .35. Randy Travis has three, and Robert Duvall bought one. Next fall, two other Holstein prints will be for fsale in the Faith Mountain catalog. Mrs. Welch does most of the framing for these prints herself, but admits that she does hire help to do the framing when she has such a large order to fill. Her studio is well equipped with all types of painting and framing supplies. There is also a loft for additional storage. Mrs. Welch has painted several farms and farm buildings on commission. “They bring back memories, long after the building is gone," she said. She is presently working on a 10 x 16 painting of Clifton Farm in Flint Hill. “It says, ‘old country home’ to me,” she said. It is a beautiful old stone house with a bam and interesting fence lines. Right now she has cards for sale which she had made from a small painting of Clifton done in 1989. Though she loves to paint old bams and scenery, Mrs. Welch said “I really enjoy painting living things. After sketching it out, I finish the detail on the eyes first, then fill in the rest. There’s a thrill in finishing the eye and having it look like it has life in it.” Mrs. Welch has been very generous with her paintings by donating limited edition prints to the Virginia Rappahannock News Stall Photo Cinck Mahan Geneva Welch enjoys work with a view. Head Injury Foundation auction for three years. James Brady was the spokesperson for the organization, and Mrs. Welch delivered Print #1 (of 1000) to him at a dinner in the Senate Caucus Room. Prices for framed prints range from $35 to $150. To arrange to look at Mrs. Welch’s artwork, call her at 675-3779. Duo Will Perform At Town Theatre Pianist Lambert Orkis and ’cellist Kenneth Slowik will perform solo and duo works by Bach and Beethoven on period instruments at The Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 20. The concert is the second performance in this season’s “Smithsonian at Little Washington” series. Internationally acclaimed performers on original instruments, Orkis and Slowik have performed together for more than a decade, and along with their appearances as a duo, both are founding members of the Castle Trio. Orkis has been actively involved with the Smithsonian’s chamber music program since 1983. Besides performing with the Castle Trio, he has appeared several times as a soloist with the Smithsonian Chamber Orchestra performing Beethoven concerti on various historical instruments. Slowik, a curator and musicologist in the Smithsonian’s Division of Musical History, has gained respect as both a scholar and performer. An accomplished ’cellist, he is also highly sought after as a viola da gamba player and makes occasional appearances on the harpsichord and organ. The performances are based on exhaustive research; however, both performers shy away from the idea of presenting a “scholarly” performance. “What we do first and foremost is to play this wonderful music as dramatically and convincingly as possible,” says Orkis. “That doesn’t mean we haven’t done our homework. It means we’re presenting the music in a manner that is different from what many concert goers are used to, but the bottom line is that the performances are still exciting - regardless of the instruments we use.” Slowik wholeheartedly agrees. “By using period instruments we’re not claiming that it’s the ‘right’ or ‘best’ way to listen to this music,” he says. “What we are trying to do is to provide modem audiences a different way to hear the music.” The program will include Slowik Pianist Lambert Orkis and ’cellist Kenneth Slowik will bring Back and Beethoven to the Theatre at Washington. performing J.S. Bach’s Suite in G Major, BMV 1007 for unaccompanied ’cello; Orkis playing Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in B-flat Major, Op. 22; and both musicans joined forces for Beethoven’s lively Sonata in G Major, Op. 5, No. 2. At 7 p.m. Slowik will give a short pre-concert talk about the Smithsonian’s large and diverse collection of musical instruments. He will share his knowledge of how the museum’s curatorial work and performance program have provided valuable insights into the performance techniques and styles of earlier periods. Tickets for the concert on Nov. 20 are now on sale. Prices are $13.50 for advance reservations and $15 for tickets purchased at the door. Special group rates are also available. For more information or to make reservations, call The Theatre at 675-1253.

Venison: Storing And Cooking Tips 'c By HELEN W. SMITH „. Extension Agent. Home Economic* ‘ It is important to handle game carefully from the moment you take it. Game and fowl should be fielddressed as soon as possible after Idling. Keep the carcasses cool and covered until proper refrigeration or freezing is available. The temperature of the air determines how long ,the meat will stay fresh in the field. If the air temperature is 50 degrees F or below, fowl and small game will keep safely for up to 48 hours. An animal taken on a warm day may spoil within a few hours. Final cleaning is usually done at home. Skin the hide or pluck the feathers, and remove shot or splintered bone. Cleaned game can be cooked at once, stored in the refrigerator for one to two days, or frozen in heavy duty aluminum foil or freezer paper. Game should be defrosted slowly in the refrigerator. To speed defrosting, use a microwave oven and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Never defrost by soaking in water. Keep game covered during defrosting to retain moisture. When cooking game, consider the fat content and the age of the animal. Slow, moist cooking methods such as stewing, covered roasting, or braising in liquids are best for older, leaner, or less-tender game. Broiling, over pan roasting, grilling or other dry heat methods are best for young, fat, or tender game. For gravy, skim off the grease and use the flavorful juices. Proper care and cooking will make your venison moist, tender, and flavorful. We have an Extension publication 458-877 “Deer Processing for the Sportsman” from the Department of Food Science at Virginia Tech that gives recommendations for handling venison from the time it is slaughtered until it is consumed. It covers field dressing procedures, sanitation, preservation, making jerky, etc. Call the Extension off for a copy. Nutrition And Cooking This naturally lean game meat is a good source of protein and is relatively low in fat. You don’t have to lard venison or wrap it in fat to ensure tender, juicy meat. Marinating helps tenderize tough cuts from the shoulder or neck (chuck) and adds flavor to the tender cuts from the back (ribs), lion (saddle), or rump (leg). To prevent loss of natural home economics juices, don’t overbrown or overcook the meat.

— "cuncjuiay, rsovemoer iu, iw Readying a Water Garden For The Winter Environment By DR. DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist Many gardeners like to clean their ponds in the fall to help ensure a health water environment through the winter. Be careful, however, if you clean too throughly, you disturb the fish and plants during the time they are getting used in dropping temperatures and low levels of sunlight. Move Tropical Plants Into a House A light cleaning is preparation for winter is all that is needed. Remove all dying foliage on water plants after the second or third frost. Tender or tropical plants will have to be removed and wintered over in a greenhouse. Some tropical plants, such as dwarf papyrus, can be brought in as house plants as long as the containers are kept in water. Hardy plants in containers should remain in the pond. The debris collected in the bottom of the pond over the summer should be raked out. Do this with a plastic rake to keep from damaging the liner if it is plastic. If you regularly removed the dead and dying foliage and flower buds from the aquatic plants (water lilies especially need grooming) during the growing season, you are already ahead of the fall cleanup. Raking the bottom now will ensure there is no decaying matter. As part of the bottom-raking routine, gently move the submerged, oxygenating plants out of the deepest part of the pond, rake out any accumulated muck, and return the plants to their deep-end location. The fish need this plant cover in the deepest part of the pond to help protect them during the winter. Removed Fallen Leaves Daily With this initial light cleaning out of the way, scoop out fallen leaves daily with a long-handled net. With smaller ponds, it’s possible to construct a frame with netting to place over the surface to catch any straying leaves, thus avoiding the daily cleaning. Keeping the leaves out of the pond is important to prevent any buildup of decaying matter which uses oxygen from the water to the detriment of the fish. Once winter has set in, check the pond regularly to see that ice does not form completely over the surface. There are several ways to prevent this. The easiest is to leave the pump for your fountain or waterfull on for the entire winter. Another way of ensuring gas exchange (oxygen in, carbon dioxide out) for the fish is to place a weighted bundle of reeds or pipes in the deepest end of the pond with one end of the bundle sticking straight up into the air. Now that you’ve prepared for winter, don’t neglect to visit your pond to enjoy its winter beauty. The fish will often come up under the ice and you can see them slowly moving about. Plan new additons to the pond while all the plants are dormant. You can also leave a weighted ball floating on the surface. When ice forms, remove the ball and pump out 1 to 2 inches of water from under the ice sheet. This has two effects. First, the hole will not refreeze as there is no water in contact with the ice. Second, the air space will act as an insulator and the water temperature will actually rise several degrees. If Ice Freezes, Use Heat Pan To Gently Melt Through If you discover that your pond has iced over even with these precautions, do not hit the ice to break it. Place a heated pan of water on the iced surface to gently melt through. Be sure to tie a string to the handle to retrieve the pot.
