Large Turnover Expected In May Council Elections By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Elections for the Washington Town Council will be held on May 3, and the majority of present members will not be seeking reelection. Newbill Miller is the only council member who has definitely decided to run for another term. ' Brad Fisher, who has been treasurer of the town for 16 years, will be bowing out, due mostly to time constraints. Council members Susan Parrish, Ray Gooch, and Janice Moffett have also decided not to run. At press time, Mayor Dean Morehouse and council member Mark Bailey were undecided. Any resident of the town of Washington who would like to run must contact the State Board of Elections at 800-552-9745. The board will send information and required forms to interested parties. Petitions and filing forms must be filled out and returned to the Board of Elections by March 1 for names to appear on the ballot. The Town Council meets at the Town Hall on the second Wednesday of each month. Members receive a stipend of $5 for each meeting they attend, and the treasurer has been paid $7.50 an hour. Mr. Fisher said he had found the treasurer’s job has been taking 20 to 25 hours weekly. It includes all of the billing and paperwork for the water department. County Responds To Suit By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The county’s response to the suit on sludge brought by landowners Dale Welch, John H. Powers, Patricia Saltonstall and Werner Krebser was filed in the clerk’s office last Wednesday. The response goes down the list of 80some numbered paragraphs of the amended suit, denying many, agreeing to a few, and stating that others are not proven. It ends with a “demurrer” seeking to have the case dismissed and requesting legal fees and costs for the county. The response, filed by George Gilliam, who was retained by the state to represent the county, basically claims that the decision of the Board of Supervisors to adopt an amendment banning the land application of sludge, was legal and the supervisors acted after a careful review of positions both in favor of sludge application and opposed to it. The response denies that the decision to adopt the ordinance amendment was “arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable.” It cites provisions in federal law that al low states and localities to adopt more restrictive regulations for environmental protection than those of the EPA. The demurer also states that state law required the claimants to present their claims to the Board of Supervisors to seek compensation before filing suit. The suit sought an injunction barring the ban on land disposal of sludge from going into effect, claiming there was no other remedy at law open to the claimants. Mr. Gilliam said “They can’t have it both ways.” They should not have sought damages while claiming an injunction was the only avenue open to them. The response also notes that as far as the county knows, none of the claimants ever applied for a permit to have sludge spread on their land. Mr. Gilliam said that the next move is up to the court, which will set a date for hearing motions. He said he had no idea, when the date would be set. He is scheduled to meet with the members of the Board of Supervisors in executive session during their regular meeting Monday. Power Compound 1994 Winter Woes By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Winter continued to punish the county last week as ice covered tree branches came crashing down on power lines early Friday morning, leaving many county residents without electrical power. It was late Monday before the last houses were hooked up, although most people had power back Saturday. The woods early Friday morning sounded like the location of a fire fight. The falling trees and branches blocked roads and driveways making the job of restoring power more difficult. Many of the back roads were also ice covered. Rappahannock Electric Cooperative spokesman Matt Faulconer said that at the height of the difficulty at 10 a.m. Friday morning, 4,200 of REC’s customers in the Culpeper district were without electricity. The company could not separate out Rappahannock customers, Mr. Faulconer said, but the Laurel Mills and Rock Mills areas in the county were particularly hard hit. Mr. Faulconer said REC never lost power coming into the Rixeyville substation, but many distribution lines were down. “Some lines had two or three trees on them,” he said. “Restoring power was a slow process.” By 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning power was restroed to all but 14 customers in Madison County, he said. They got their power back Sunday. “We had more than 150 spans of line on the ground. There were seven broken poles. We worked all {, day Friday and Friday night,” he said. He credited the crews that worked outside “who kept on going” for getting power back to customers. Crews from the Culpeper District were assisted by crews from the Bowling Green District and the Northern Neck Electric Cooperative. He said in a few cases lines were still live, and the company had to tell people not to try to cut trees they saw lying on lines. He said that ice can act as an insulator keeping a line from shorting out when it is on the ground. Harry Saufley, manager of the Blue Ridge Area for Potomac Edison said they had about 1,500 customers out in Rappahannock County alone, out of 3,529 Potomac Edison customers in the county. In all Potomac Edison had about 3,200 customers out in the Blue Ridge Area, which includes Culpeper, Madison, Fauquier, Green and Albemarle counties. He said that Rappahannock County seemed to be the hardest hit, especially in the Sperryville area. “It was a tough ice storm to deal with,” he said. “There were so many trees and limbs down and so many broken poles.” Power was restored to the last places in Rappahannock County Monday evening, he said. With that done, the company was returning to areas where power had been restored earlier and replacing “things we put up as temporary solutions.” He said Potomac Edison had also called in outside help to restore power from Potomac Edison offices in Martinsville, W.Va. and Winchester. “My folks worked hard and long and and we got through it safely,” he said. i He said at one point r nday night crews were replacing lines only to have them come down again a half hour later. The company pulled crew members off when it became foggy Friday night he said. “I am pleased with my people,” he said. “They are dedicated employees. Most of our customers were patient and understanding.” He said the company thought everybody had power back Saturday night, but dis: covered later that a few homes in Jenkins Hollow still did not have power. Mr. Sauffley noted that the problems this past weekend came a week after the bitterly cold week when the company was concerned that it might not have enough power to meet demand. “It’s been two weeks of very trying times,” he said. Two additional days were lost from school last week, Thursday and Friday. Superintendent David Gangel said the plan is still to make up 10 days of the 14 missed so far.

Katzen Cites Conflict,Won't Vote On Disney By PATRICK GRAHAM RanthuMck New* Stair Writer RICHMOND — Citing a conflict of interest, freshman Del. Jay Katzen, R31st, announced Tuesday he will abstain from voting on a $160 million state aid package for the Walt Disney Co. Del. Katzen said he holds stock in the Exxon Corp., whose Friendswood Development Co. subsidiary owns a portion of the Haymarket property on which Disney has proposed building its 3,000acre theme park. Del. Katzen apparently is the first lawmaker to say he will not vote on the Disney legislation. Since Exxon would profit from the Disney venture, Katzen said he decided to abstain on several Disney-related bills, “to avoid any perception of impropriety.” He added he was following his attorney's advice. “I feel this is the right thing to do,” Katzen said. “For me to participate in the vote would constitute a perception of an actual conflict of interest.” The Disney project and the $160 million state aid package is the toughest and most' contentious issue of the 1994 session. Sen. Kevin Miller, R-26th, still remains undecided about backing the aid package. Those who support the Haymarket site and the aid package could upset the influential Piedmont Environmental Council; opposing the project could invoke the anger of other local residents who champion Disney as a job creator. Del. Katzen’s decision doesn’t help fellow Republican Gov. George Allen, who has called on the General Assembly to support the $160 million financial package he helped negotiate with Disney. An Allen spokesman said the governor had no comment on Del. Katzen’s decision. Del. Katzen, however, still refuses to sta^e his position on the Haymarket site and the Disney aid package, which includes among incentives using tax dollars to build an interchange on Interstate 66 and an access road on the Disney park site. He said he would not bow out of the current Disney debate and will continue to “attend meetings and listen.” In a impromptu press conference in his office, Del. Katzen appeared tom between the economic benefits heralded by the state and the possible environmental problems bemoaned by PEC that Disney may create. State officials say Disney’s greatest environment impact would be its effect on the state’s efforts to comply with the Clean Air Act. ‘This is not to say that I am without opinions regarding Disney. I believe strongly in the need to encourage investment in our Commonwealth, to foster jobs, and to protect our environment,” Del. Katzen said. “I am confident that these objectives are compatible.” Del. Katzen dismissed suggestions he chose to abstain to avoid making his first hard decision and added he never considered selling the stock so he could vote. “I’m just keeping to that ethical standard that I have always followed,” he said. Del. Katzen said that his late father gave him the Exxon stock in 1959 as a graduation gift. He estimated the stock’s value at between $10,000 and $50,000. An aide said their office learned of the stock holdings only a few days ago.

RAPPAHANNOCK HAS BEEN AWARDED FEDERAL FUNDS UNDER THE EMERGENCY FOOD AND SHELTER NATIONAL BOARD PROGRAM. Rappahannock has been chosen to receive *3500 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the area. The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and consists of representatives from The Salvation Army, American Red. Gross, Council of Jewish Federations, Catholic Charities, USA, National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. and United Way of America which will provide the administrative staff and function as fiscal agent. The Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country. A Local Board made of up representatives from county government, local agencies and non-profit organizations will determine how the Kinds awarded to Rappahannock are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service organizations in the area. The Local Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this ph$se of the program. Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local government or private voluntary organizations chosen to receive funds must: 1) be non-profit, 2) have an accounting system and conduct an annual audit, 3) practice nondiscrimination, 4) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 5) if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying organizations are urged to apply.

Haskell Reflects on Years in State Office former Natural Resources Secretary Claims Successes I By SHARON KILPATRICK • . Kappahannoek Newa Staff Writer , Elizabeth Haskell is looking forward to living a quieter life, with a^out half of the time in Rappahannock County after four years as former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s Secretary of Natural Resources. I Mrs. Haskell and her husband Rjobert own the former Joe Keyser fofrm in Tiger Valley. The Haskell family also owns newspapers in Virginia, Kentucky and Florida. Mr. Haskell publishes the Martinsville Bulletin and the Franklin County News Post in Rofcky Mount, Va. He divides his time between his newspapers and Rappahannock County, coming to Rappahannock mostly on weekends. During her four years in state government, Mrs. Haskell said she was in Richmond five or six days a week, returning to Rappahannock on weekends and rarely to Martinsville. As Secretary of Natural Resources, Mrs. Haskell oversaw the work of seven departments: the Department of Environmental Quality, the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Department, the Department of Conservation and Recreation, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the Marine Resources Commission, the Virginia Museum of Natural History, and the Department of Historic Resources. She is proud of the accomplishments during her tenure. In the face of 25 percent cutbacks in state funding she feels she made substantial progress in protecting the environment. - The creation of the Department of Environmental Quality from separate agencies dealing with water, solid waste and clean air is one of the “exciting advances” of the Wilder administration, she said. Environmental protection was a&stired, but we made it a lot easier for. businesses and localities to comply, with that all in one department,” she said. “We removed the permit backlog tjjat existed in 1990 with pending applications, especially for power plants,” she said. The process of getting permits approved was taking ‘tmuch too long. We made management and personnel changes.” She said the department began initiating seminars for applicants and the consultants who actually submit the applications to make sure when f -J\ i Correction The story about artist Sara < Schneidman which ran in the i Jan. 26 issue of the Rappahan) nock News contained two nu; merical errors.

About half of the funds will be used to upgrade current state parks, but the bonds have also enabled the state to form five new parks, including one to be located in Warren County along the Shenandoah River. “It's a beautiful stretch of river, with water access for fishing and canoing,” she said. She added that research shows that people particularly want access to water and four of the five new parks will be on rivers or the Chesapeake Bay. “It really was exciting to be part of that process,” she said. Mrs. Haskell had years of experience in the field of the environment including 16 years on the state Air Pollution Control Board before taking on her assignment in the Wilder Administration. Air quality remains a passion for her. She noted that Virginia has joined with seven other states in the Southern Appalachian Mountain Institute to try to solve problems of pollution in the Appalachian range. Ninety to 94 percent of the air pollution in the Shenandoah National Park comes from outside Virginia, she said, and a lot comes from West Virginia, particularly Virginia Power’s coal-fired generating plant at Mt. Storm. “I’m hopeful we will make some progress in a collaborative way, trying to make clear that polution that affects Shenandoah also affects West Virginia,” she said. “They also have a big tourist industry. ” She said that as a result of passage of the Federal Clean Air Act, the Virginia Rower facility is installing scrubbers on one of its units. She said she was hopeful it will later nut scrubbers on the other units. She noted that air pollution is causing acidification of streams in the park as well as reduced visibility. She said that permits for new electrical generating plants approved during her tenure will give Virginia “the cleanest generating plants in the country. We must build the cleanest ones we can and work with other states to address existing problems,” she said. She said that in this issue as in most, her job was a constant ballancing act. Some park officials wanted no more generating plants approved, “but we like to turn on the lights and know they will come on. We’ve experienced an example of that this weekend,” she added. “Many controversial issues came through the secretariate,” she said. “It was a matter of ballancing the issues of preserving the environment with a concern about jobs and the economy. I tried to do a fair job.” She said now she is “pleased to get back to a more orderly life. It was an exciting role, but a 60 hour a week job and living in three places was challenging.” Mrs. Haskell said she will take a sabatical and then de Elizabeth Haskell stands beside her split rail fence. tide what to do next. She expects to find something else to do working on environmental issues. In the meantime she is eryoying working on preserving the environ- { ment and historic resources on their piece of Rappahannock County. , They are "cherishing” their split rail chestnut fences keeping up their stone fences and adding lots more stone fence lines. They will plant more trees, replacing old apple trees as they age, and planting a mix of hard and soft wood trees along streams and as windbreaks for their cattle. They have made no structural changes in their house. The central section was built as a three-room house in 1799. Victorian additions were put on in 1911. ‘This house and these fences are very much the Rappahannock way,” she said. Soybean Growers To Vote Soybean producers will vote Feb. 9 on whether the Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Program should continue, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced this week. Kenneth C. Clayton, acting administrator of USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service, said, “Producers who certify that they produced soybeans between Sept. 1, 1991 and Dec. 1, 1993, will be eligible to vote in the referendum.” Registration and voting will both be held Feb. 9 and will take play at the Rappahannock County Extension Office located on the comers of Gay and Jett Streets, between the , hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service personnel will count ballots, determine elgibility of voters, and tabulate results. For the program to continue, a simple majority of those voting must favor it. In the referendum, producers will decide if they want to continue to pay the current assessment of 0.5 of one percent of the net market price of the soybeans they sell.

Gary Light and Amanda Stephens of Alexandria plan to have their bed and breakfast in a 22-room house which is located just west of the Laurel Mills Store on Route 618. They believe the house is well suited for a B and B, and they would preserve the structure. Four rooms would be set up for guests. Board member Jimmy Swindler stated that he had spoken to seven or eight people in the Laurel Milla area, and that no one was against the idea of a new bed and breakfast being located there. Newbill Miller identified himself as a part owner of the house, and called it an “architectural gem.” Laurel Mills Farm will be the site of a new B and B 1 COMPLETE INTERIOR I DESIGN SERVICE | # Architectural Inception $ Lighting | ♦ Kitchen and Bath Layouts $ Floor/Space Planning | IN HOME DECORATING SERVICE k | $ Furniture $ Carpeting/Wall Coverings \ 4^ Window Treatments 4t Original Art/Accessories RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ) Bit O' Green Interiors A [ (703) 987-9432 Washington, VA presents THE FRONT ROYAL Sunday, February 6, 1994 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Bowling Green Country Club \ Route 683 Front Royal, Virginia .

The Audit Ij Bureau WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2,1994 School Administrator Or Building Manager? In December the School Board encouraged School Superintendent David Gangel to draft a budget for next year that will include making Richard Smith’s position as administrative assistant permanent. In the current budget Mr. Smith was paid to work about 40 percent of his time as an administrative assistant. That became full time after school started. The original justification for Mr. Smith’s administrative position was to relieve Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell of some of his duties so Mr. Chappell could work as clerk of the works during construction of the elementary school addition. It was presented as a temporary position. Over the summer Mr. Smith was assigned the task of developing and monitoring policies relating to the environment and safety because of the incident last spring when the elementary school was evacuated and several children transported to area hospitals apparently because of fiimes from the project of repairing the roof. Mr. Smith has been diligently proposing policies to meet all sorts of safety and environmental concerns. A tour of the building showing problems uncovered by an audit by the state agency monitoring employee health and safety apparently convinced the School Board that the problems and associated liability are on-going and that therefore the position should be made permanent. Mr. Smith or another administrator would be employed to oversee building maintenance and compliance with a variety of state and federal requirements. But we question whether a new school administrative position is the best way to deal with these issues. Certainly the school buildings represent a considerable investment. Maintaining them in good repair is important. Regulations from the state and federal governments with regard to the environment and safety are indeed onerous and becomming more so. However, the county also has a considerable investment in buildings and property in the Court House area, at the public library, and at the landfill. It seems to us that what is needed is a county property manager, who would be responsible for these matters for the schools and all other county-owned property. The cost of funding this position should be split between the school and general government budgets. \\' V Gov. Allen in Fantasyland To the Editor Our Governor George Allen has been spending too much time at Disneyland. Gov. Allen would have ua believe that our tax burden is onerous and murderers are on the loose. According to a Jan. 23 article In the Washington Post Metro section, Virginia is among the most lightly taxed states in the nation. Our crime rate is also below the national average, while our percentage of imprisoned criminals is high. The great irony is that, at the same time he tells us we’re paying too much in taxes, he’s ready to give his corporate Mends at Disney a free ride. We’ll pay for the roads, the water and sewer, the schools and other services, as well as kick in some advertising money. Then, instead of training our youth for health care, biotechnology or other rewarding careers, we’ll pay to teach them how to punch tickets, for minimum wage, at Disneyland. What a deal. When Disney does start building, I’m sure that Allen’s Secretary of Natural Resources, Becky Dunlop, will be keeping close watch. Fat chance! Here’s a woman who believes that environmental regulation is best left to private business and individuals. Look at what those businesses and individuals have done to Everglades National Park in Florida. Look at the billions of dollars needed for EPA Superfund sites across the country where private business cut and run, leaving us with the bill. Dunlop, along with Disney, will make the future health of our own Shenandoah Park more precarious than it already is. The extra pollution and population pressure will be more than it can bear. Dunlop’s dubious qualifications for office are a stint in the Reagan Interior Department, a family friendship with Sen. Jesse Helms, and a recent position as head of an anti-pom group. The upshot is, instead of further progress in solid economic development and environmental protection for Virginia, we’ll be spending time limiting the damage that Allen and Disney do to us. MARK WALLACE Flint Hill Amissville VFD Needs Continuing Support To the Editor The 1993 Amissville Volunteer Fire Company and Rescue Squad member answered a total of 446 calls for emergency medical service or fires.

SARAH LATHAM Amissville Disney Opposed To the Editor: Disney’s America may sound like a good thing, but if you think about it, this proposed theme park in Haymarket will bring more traffic, more pollution, more crime, higher taxes and more unemployed people into the area looking for jobs. The large franchise businesses that will inevitably follow Disney to this area will put our own local businesses out of business (who’s going to compete with Walmart?). If that isn’t bad enough, we as taxpayers are supposed to pay for all the infrastructure improvements, among other things, to get Disney started. Worse yet, any profits’are going back to California, not here. How is all this going to help our economy? Disney’s America isn’t going to benefit the state anymore than putting a 7-11 in Flint Hill is going to make Rappahannock more prosperous. We need to boost our own struggling businesses, not invite outsiders in to bleed our economy and send the profits our of state! I wonder if some of the same people who opposed The Inn’s proposed expansion are rooting for Disney. , ; No Virginia, Disney is not in the business of boosting anyone’s econ-’. omy but it’s own, and at our ex-'" pense. The only people who will get rich from Disney are a few real es- • tate developers, and Disney. ’ «.• Still smarting from its recent defeat of a similar theme park in Long Beach, California, and iwth the failure of EuroDisney looming, Disney is hoping it can ram it’s shrewd business plan through the legislature at the last second, before enough people wake up. 1 . I think the majority of the people affected by Disney oppose it, but unless we write our representatives and put pressure on them to stop it, rather than getting rich from Disney, we’ll all by paying for Disney the rest of our lives. CLYDE L. KORAL Huntly Continuing Conversations With Russians By JOHN W. KISER III Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Wednesday, Dec. 15 I had dinner at the House of Literature on Herzen street with friends. Peter is a physical chemist with special expertise in explosive processes; his wife Nina, a poetess and professor at Moscow University; Evgeni, a professor of Russian literature and Tanya and Vera from the foreign relations department of a plastics research institute. The House of Literature has been the site of many readings, presentations and debates among Russian intellectuals. Pictures of Pasternak, Yevtushenko, Sakharov cover the walls leading from a small art gallery into the main dining hall. This is a cavernous two story wood panelled room with an interior balcony and would give the inpression of a hunting lodge if there were moose or boar heads protruding from the walls. The talk soon turned to the events that were on everyone’s mind. “Were you surprised by the results?” I asked Peter. “We were very surprised, completely unexpected.” But why was this unexpected? - “The Russian intelligentsia have always had a high opinion of the people (narod). They think the people are pure, good at heart and have a simple but profound grasp of the truth. This is, of course, well represented in literature by Tolstoy. So this was a shock. Our situation is very dangerous now. It is analogous to Weimar in the 20s and 30s. Like then, no one took Hitler seriously either.” “Yes, but here are no precise analogies and Russia is not Germany” objected Evgeni. “Yeltsin is also responsible. His action against the parliament created support for Zhirinovsky. What he did was unforgivable. He was declaring civil war on Russia. He could have solved the problem peacefully. And look now at the precedent he has created. The new parliament has seen what happens when they disagree. They will be intimidated in advance.” “Of course, you are right” continued Peter. “There are no exact analogies in history but there are many similarities now between Russia and Germany then. We should be able to learn from history. People have lost their sense of pride, they feel rudderless, there is moral breakdown, no belief in their government, unemployment. The young believe in nothing but money. People are dis• gusted with politics. The time is ripe for a savior, a man on a white horse.” “I saw a group of young people on the street wearing fascist arm bands” injected Nina. “I asked them why are they fascists. Do they know what it means? A young man told me that being fascist meant togetherness, family.” “We are in trouble if Zhrinovsky is a savior for Russia,” Tanya scornfull observed. “Unfortunately the West does not understand Russian culture and they can’t just apply their ideas abstractly. But their approach is helping create support for Zhirinovsky. Russians have three characteristics that the West forgets at its risk. Russians prefer to be poor and equal than have great inequalities, they have a deep distrust of foreigners and of course have no democratic traditions.” The later point reminded Peter of the Russian writer now living in America who described the “socalled democrats” as practicing democracy with Bolshevik techniques. Evgeni reminded me of the Russian poet who said “The mind cannot understand Russia.” Thursday, Dec. 16, St. Petersburg A barman at the St. Petersburg Hotel: “I did not vote. I’ve had it with politicians. They only think of them 1 - 3 selves. We are leaderless.” Taxi driver “I voted for Yavlinsky. He is for reform, but wants to slow down the pace. I did not vote for Zhirinovsky because he is too extreme. We do ;’ not need types like him. People used to snicker and laugh when he spoke. They did not take him seriously. But people are very unhappy.” Head of Research Lab: “People are very unahppy. The government got what it deserved. There are no leaders. The politicians only worry about their positions. They do not think about people. ”Afr. Keyser’s reports on conversations with Russians about their politicians and recent election will continue in future issues. .; , She time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: , *4 » l n i ■ ■ mmm 20 YEARS AGO Jan. 31,1974 Rappahannock’s Planners have held two work sessions during the past week to prepare the county’s new subdivision arid zoning ordinances for public hearings and final passage.

t*" r* |\n Epiphany Of The Avatar? I ™ By JAMES J. KILPATRICK ££ UniwalPre* ■ “What,” asked my ever-loving . wife, “got you so upset?” ! I had just hurled a copy of Time ; magazine across the kitchen, break•mg a glass along the way, and in the < dead silence that followed the crash ■PC was cleaning up the mess. • Z “Avatars,” I replied, breathing I heavily. “Avatars.” ; Haying retrieved the mutilated ■ magazine, I read a paragraph aloud. I-The article compared Rush Lim■ baugh and Howard Stem. It said [,that the Rush and Howard people, J ‘like their avatars, have more in » common than they know.” i • “Like their what?” inquired my J Wife. J.',' “Like their avatars,” I said. “The • New York Times threw an avatar at me on Oct. 18. A book reviewer said John F. Kennedy and Billy Clinton “were hailed as avatars of a new gen; eration.’ When I read in Time about ; the avatars of Limbaugh and Stem, < if was too much. Sorry about the |/ glass.” T What is an avatar? I will give you • the whole definition, straight from Webster's new Tenth Collegiate. An avatar is: “1: the incarnation of a Hindu deity (as Vishnu). 2 a: an incarnation in human form, b: an embodiment (as of a concept or philosophy) often in a : person. 3: a variant phase or version trfa continuing basic entity.” There you have it. The Times’ critic was using definition 2b. Kennedy and Clinton were the embodiments of a new generation. What is otie to make of “the avatars of the Rush and Howard people”? I cannot make heads or tails of it. 1 Let us recur to fundamentals. Unless we are Writing a diary, we write for one reason only. That purpose is to convey an idea from the writer to the reader. This demands a common language. More to the point, it demands a common vocabulary. Communication falters when a writer employs words that are not in a reader’s vocabulary. I will venture a guess that not one person in 10,000 knows what is meant by “avatar.” It is one of those words in Dwight MacDonald’s acid comment, that belong in the zoo section of a dictionary. Westbrook Pegler called them outof-town words. They delight the writer buy they mystify the reader. Is this the purpose of writing? A couple of years ago one of my beloved friends, a gentleman who shall be nameless, wrote a column about women in the military. He said: “The attempt to equalize the sexes is going to be asymptotic.” What he meant, I believe, is that no matter how hard the armed services try to make things equal, the goal is impossible to achieve. My beloved friend went on to say that all the good aspects of women’s liberation “cannot dissipate that tropism that assigns to the woman primary responsibility for the care of the child.” Tropism? A tropism is “an innate tendency to react to stimuli in a definite manner.” Could the sentence have been phrased more clearly? Another of my colleagues, who also shall be nameless, wrote a column about David Halberstam’s recent history of the 1950s. My friend said that “Halberstam’s history, though capacious, has a large lacuna.” Readers of this newspaper’s editorial section are quite likely to know “capacious,” but “lacuna”? Would the sentence have been clearer if my Mend had written that Halberstam’s history, though capacious, leaves out a good deal? , In his book, Halberstam recalled John Chancellor’s coverage of racial turmoil in Little Rock, Ark. As a mob jostled and jeered him, a local civil rights leader “had an epiphany about the power of the media.” An epiphany is an “illuminating discovery.” It is “a sudden perception of the essential nature of something.” I would classify “epiphany” as a hard word, but Halberstam used it precisely. I wouldn’t touch the line. In the Chicago Sun-Times in September, a columnist noted that small investors are pouring money into mutual funds. He wondered what would happen if this “tsunami of cash” should be reversed. In context, the word “tsunami” probably was clear enough, but would “tidal wave” have been better? A columnist for Newsday turned out a piece on Wal-Mart stores. An Arkansas judge had ordered the chain to pay $289,000 to four of its small competitors. The columnist thought Wal-Mart could afford it. After all, “Wal-Mart is not some eleemosynary institution victimized by a hayseed court.” Why trot out “eleemosynary” when “charitable” is waiting in the stable? ’Nuff said. Every writer knows the temptation of the unfamiliar word. The exotic is always tempting, and now and then we have to succumb. But this should be kept in mind: Not many of our readers are likely to have epiphanies on sighting an avatar. Give’em a break!

Baker, State Police Superintendent, cautioned motorist about leaving motor vehicles or trailers unattended on or adjacent to any roadway where they may constitute a hazard for other motorists. “Law enforcement officers generally understand and sympathize with motorists whose vehicles become disabled when traveling,” he said, “however, it is most important that disabled vehicles not create a hazard for other drivers.” State law requires that any unattended or disabled vehicle that constitutes a hazard be moved as soon as possible and often this means having the vehicle towed to the nearest available storage facility. State law also prohibits leaving l. any unattended motor vehicle, trader, semitrailer, or part of combination thereof longer than 24 hours on or adjacent to any roadway outside the corporate limits of any city or town, or on an interstate highway or limited access highway, expressway, or parkway inside the corporate limits of any dty or town. 11 Vehicles left in a lane of travel or on a paved shoulder of an interstate highway are towed immediately. When troopers arrange to have a vehicle towed, they report the license plate number and other storage information to a State Police dispatcher. The dispatcher then enters the license plate number and other pertinent information into a computer. i When vehicles are not claimed within a reasonable time, the registered owner is contacted by mail at the last address on file with the Department of Motor Vehicles. “We realize that towing some vehicles may inconvenience drivers and occupants,” Col. Baker said, “and trooper try to be as helpful as they can. Out most critical concerns, however, are keeping our roadways safe for all motorists and reducing the risk that abandoned vehicles will be vandalized.” Persons who believe troopers have caused their vehicle to be towed should call the nearest State Police office and be prepared to provide the name of the vehicle’s owner and the license plate number. I ; '. '! , Riverboat Gambling Proposal Draws Criticism, Opposition _ By BETSY BRANSCOME Rappahannock New* 8Uff Writer A Norfolk lawmaker has introduced new legislation which would permit riverboat gambling in Virginia, something that has made for strange bedfellows lobbying against that effort. Officials of the Virginia Assembly of Independent Baptists have sided with proponents of horse racing to oppose the competition for the entertainment dollar. 1 The proposed bill, sponsored by ! Del. Jerrauld Jones, D-89, would allow seven riverboat locations on havigable waters throughout the eastern half of the state. Local referrenda will decide which municipalities will allow the Sen. Miller Introduces Tax Bill By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer State Sen. Kevin Miller, R-26th Dist. introduced legislation last week that should reduce state income taxes for retirees collecting social security. However, it will increase taxes for other Virginia taxpayers aged 62 or older. Last year Sen. Miller became involved in a debate with Democrats in the General Assembly over r whether or not Virginia taxes social Security. Sen. Miller claimed the state does tax social security. The Democrats, particularly House Majority Leader Richard Cranwell, claimed that the state does not tax social security. Both were partially right. The state tax form allowed taxpayers to subtract from their federal adjusted gross income, social security that had been taxed at the federal level. However, taxpayers had to reduce their Virginia “age deduction” of $6,236 for those 62 through 4>4 and $12,472 for those 65 and older l>y the total of any social security benefits they had received, not just those taxed by the federal government. 1 The bill Sen. Miller introduced will eliminate reductions from the ■ age deduction for social security income, but the bill is designed to be revenue neutral, Sen. Miller said. As a result the “age deduction” will be reduced to $3,700 for those 62 through 64 and $7,400 for those 65 ‘ and older. • This should mean lower taxes for those 62 through 64 who receive at least $2,536 from social security and those 65 and older who receive at least $5,072. For those 62 and older who do not receive social security, including those still working, the bill will mean higher taxes. ships to dock and on or off-load passengers. Three likely locales for the riverboat casino operations are Norfolk, Richmond and Fredricksburg. Jack Knapp, executive director of the Baptist organization said, “We are diametrically opposed to the riverboat option for many reasons. Morally, the church is opposed to all forms of gambling,” including the lottery, pari-mutuel and other forms of gaming. \ “We also oppose the casinos for economic reasons,” Mr. Knapp continued. “They will not create new or legitimate jobs for our population. We believe that a police problem will be created if it is passed — crime will go up, crime will increase.” While not morally opposed to gambling in and of itself, the Virginia Racing Associates — a group proposing a pari-mutuel racetrack in the Portsmouth area — is arming for the same battle as the Baptist minister. “All the track applicants are in the same boat, really,” said Carrie Camp, vice-president of the VRA and daughter of principal owner Wil Riverboats like this might offer gambling in Virginia.

If the track is approved and starts up at the same time as a floating casino, neither will survive. “The difference in the riverboat and our racetrack is vast,” she added. “The money of a gaming operation like that does not stay in the community like revenue from a track. The VRA i will not weigh anchor and move downstream — our structure allows for the building of an agri-business infrastructure that makes us part of the community. ” “The Virginia Thoroughbred Association has always testified against riverboat gambling to protect the beginning*years of Virginia racing,” offered VTA executive director Debbie Norden. “And we will continue to do so in concert with the Virginia Agri-Business Council, the Virginia Horse Council and various track applicants.

Del. Jay Katzen, whose 31st District includes Rappahannock County, said that he is opposed to the riverboat gaming legislation, but remains supportive of the racetrack aplications. Whether opposed to riverboat gaming or not, all horse racing interests polled did agree that, at the very least, racing would suffer if the riverboat question is not shelved, at least for a time. “I think they could both survive if the track is at least given a year or two to get up and running,” Mrs. Camp said. Supporters of riverboat gambling claim it will generate $42 million in local tax revenue and $81 million in state tax revenue. A study commissioned by the Virginia Riverboat Council finds that riverboat gambling would generate 7,000 jobs directly and 17,000 jobs indirectly. Del. Jones has said Tidewater legislators will not support roads for the Disney America complex unless Northern Virginia representatives support riverboat gambling. 1SS 6mIV*** SfauZ • CUf4ft% I22101 ooy mow Stunning Sterling Jewelry Exotic Wood Boxes** Sculptures in Wood** & Sterling Silver Art Tiles & Other Fine Gifts / Mention This Ad for " '-I^V 25% Discount on All Sterling Jewelry ^ thru Valentines Day j ♦•Collector* include Bush, Reagan, Carter, The Queen of Spain, The Duke of Kent, etc. IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN CULPEPER AUCTIO PERSIAN CARPETS COME TO THE AUCTION • NAME YOUR PRICE Due to circumstances beyond control and a bad economy.

Former NEA Director Frohnmayer To Speak at Sunday Library Program ' By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock N«w« Contrfkvttag Writer . John Frohnmayer and his wife Leah bought a home in Flint Hill ' while he was chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts between 1989 and 1992. 1 Now a much-in-demand speaker across the nation, he has agreed to appear at the Rappahannock County Library at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 13. Before Mr. Frohnmayer assumed his office, the NEA had been attacked for inadvertently helping to sponsor some highly disagreeable art, and during his tenure, political interests continued to find the NEA af useful whipping boy. ° He has recounted his experiences in Washington in a compelling book, leaving Town Alive. It is in the Library. This title suggets he felt some people wanted his scalp, and his book tells us all about it. Eventually the trouble he encountered led President Bush to fire him. Mr. Frohnmayer’s interest in the arts is in part related to his avocation as a singer. His inquiring mind led him to attend the union Theological Seminary in New York, and he earned a Master’s Degree in Christian Ethics form the University of Chicago. Before coming to Washington as a Bush apointee, he practiced law in Portland, Oregon. Most recently he had been working at the Freedom Forum First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, developing a college curriculum that investigates the intersections of art, politics, ethics and religion. Some countries have a ministry of culture, the head of which is a cabinet member. The United States has instead the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts. As Mr. Frohnmayer points out, we have not developed a national policy with respect to our culture, and extreme views of some political and religious groups, as well as of some artists, have at times made art policy a field on conflict for publicity and power seekers. The press has willingly cooperated, all to the detriment of intelligent and needed discussion of the real issues. Firing Mr. Frohnmayer settled nothing with respect to fed eral ftinding of the arts. Mr. Frohnmayer will speak on American cultural policy and his experiences relative to it. What are the strengths of our unique identity and I John Frohnmayer < % ' - s <v •>*., -w. w>\. v ■-<> V .

John Frohnmayer has a deep concern for the place of art in educational institutions, its function in enriching our society and its ability to articulate the creativity of our diverse population. Cultural expression is as important to the minorities among us as it is to Anglo-Saxon and other European elements whose cultural preferences have largely dominated the national scene. With an increasing multi-cultural population, we as a people will continue to be called to make decisions about the relationship of the arts and our government.

I United Way Celebrates Record Setting Year The Piedmont United Way Awards Night Celebration Feb. 9 to recognize businesses supporting United Way and to thank campaign volunteers for their efforts, is being sponsored again this year by local auto dealers in the area. The Awards Night celebration will include speakers from three agencies that received help last year, a banner exhibit of services provided by agencies to the community, a specie thank you to those people giving $500 dollars and over. Executive Director, Betty Roberts said, “we have already received checks from Country Chevrolet, Jim Harris Oldsmobile, Herndon Chevrolet and know that Reynolds Pontiac will participate. Last year the sponsorships paid for the complete affair. It’s a nice way to say thanks to people who help make the lives of others more meaningful.” The Piedmont United Way would still like to receive $6,000 to make up the difference for this year. Donations may still be made to the Piedmont United Way by sending a check to P.O. Box 398, Culpeper, Va. 22701. For more informaiton, call 825-7615. The Piedmont United Way received $199,624 through Jan. 21. This is 97 percent of the $205,000 goal, and a record amount for the local United Way. “Over 145 volunteers approached the campaign with the spirit of teamwork and together we made it happen, said John Garber, Jr., Campaign Chairperson. We are thankful to the entire community, both businesses and individuals, who responded to our call in a fashion that will enable us to meet some of the health and human needs in our communities.” Betty Roberts, Executive Director stated, “This was a very challenging year. The needs are greater, there are more working poor, people needing food and shelter, the basics. Finding volunteers was extermely difficult. But, Mr. Garber was determine to bring together a team of car£; ing people willing to increase the1* organized capacity of people in our communities to care for one another. Z “Because of that determination, 7 more people are aware of the Pied-; mont United Way, our mission and why it is so important to donate to an organization that reaches five counties through twenty-four member agencies and makes a positive difference in so many lives. To this end, I believe we were successful.” MU&l o WEDDING STATIONERY Beautiful Wedding Stationery INVITATIONS ANNOUNCEMENTS NAPKINS • BRIDAL BOOKS ACCESSORIES Stop by our office on Main Street, Washington, VA and we can help you plan your entire wedding. 3&appaf)atmock JHttos 703-675-3338

', Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer 1 Scout units from the county have had a very successful year as the Boy Scouts of America celebrates its $4th birthday. ; Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webek>8, and Boy Scouts have been exceptionally active this year learning, having fun, and serving the community through the traditional “Good Turn” projects such as Scouting for Food. . . ! This past year Scouts participated in two Camporees, a National Jamboree, Cub Scout Day Camp and Resident Camp, as well as numerous activities on a unit level. ; Troop 50 Chartered to the jVmissville Ruritan was restarted this year with Bill Johnson as Scout Master, and Paul Nichols continues as the Scout Master of Troop 36 chafartered to Flint Hill Fire Department. - Both .Troops attended a week long Summer Camp at Camp Rock Fnon this past summer and plans fcre underway to attend the camp’s 50th anniversary this summer. In additions, Troop 36 will have four boys attending the Scouts National High Adventure Camp, Philmont Scout Reservation in pimmarron, New Mexico this summer with Scouts from nieghboring councils. Bob Wildman continues to run a super program for the Tiger Cubs and Cub Scouts in pack 50 Chartered to the Amissville United Methodist Church while Jimmy Joback continues an equally fine program as Cub Master for the Tigers and Cub Scout in Pack 123 chartered to Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. Both Packs have active Webelos Dens for the 4th and 5th graders. Skip Giles, currently a Junior at Mary Washington College and county resident has been selected to be the Program Director for Camp Rock Enon for the 1994 Camp Season and the 50th Anniversary of the Camp. The Scouting program continues as the most comprehensive youth development organization in the world. The Boy Scouts of America continues an intense effort to compliment the efforts of teachers, parents, religious organizations and coaches of youth sports rather than compete against them. As the organization turns 84 years old it is committed to its earliest pridpals of “Duty to God and Country” and high moral standards while addressing the concerns and challenges that will face our youth of today in tomorrow’s challenging world. Child Abuse, drug abuse and AIDS are just a few of the problems addressed today that were not a concern in 1910 when Scouting came to our country. Utility Seeks Rate Decrease The Potomac Edison Company filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission requesting a decrease in its Virginia fuel rate. The Company attributes the $950,000 decrease to a projected overrecovery of fuel revenue versus fuel costs for the period ending Feb. 28. If approved, the rates will become effective with bills rendered on and after March 8. For a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatthours per month, electricity costs will decrease 50 cents. Potomac Edison serves more than 73,000 customers in all or parts of 14 northwestern Virginia counties including most of Rappahannock County. weather. I was unsure of how they would perform, and they probably played their best all-around game of the year. Andre Fletcher scored an amazing 27 points. “It was his best effort of the year,” said Coach Leake. Ray Atkins contributed nine points, Carlos Avelar seven, and Derek Daczewicz six. “They had a great offensive game. J.C. Welch provided leadership on the court in handling the Central defense,” said Coach Leake. Page beat the RCHS varsity team Saturday, 86-73. “We had beat Page earlier in December. It was really hard to make the adjustment to seeing how well we played against Central and how this team outhustled us,” said Coach Leake. Ray Atkins scored an incredible 25 points, Andre Fletcher had 18, and J.C. Welch had nine. Ray had three 3-pointers. In the fourth quarter alone, six players scored a total of 36. “We gave up 86 points to a team that averages in the 50’s. We had held Page to 39 points at home,” said Coach Leake. BrentsviUe beat RCHS Monday 72-43. “BrentsviUe is the number nine team in Virginia. They have five players 6’5‘ or taUer with very quick guards,” said Coach Leake. “We had a slowdown game plan, and the plan worked for the first quarter. In the second quarter we were down by six. We feU apart. We were to play the same game plan, but it didn’t work that way. Everything that worked for us in the first quarter worked against us in the second quarter,” he added. Coach Leake said, “In the second quarter our players lost focus of the game plan. We should have stuck with it, but we did not. Then it was mentally tough to regroup.” The basketball teams have a very tough schedule coming up. They will be playing eight games and holding six practices in the next 14 days. They’ll be playing Strasburg at home Friday, at Clarke Saturday, at home against StonewaU Jackson Tuesday, and at Manassas Park Wednesday. Games begin at 6 p.m. The Junior Panthers had a home game against Strasburg scheduled for Tuesday, a game at Strasburg on Wednesday, and a home game against Stonewall Jackson on Monday, which will be their last game of the season.

T rapezoid Concert To Support PEC By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock New* Staff Writer For 18 years Rappahannock County’s Paul Reisler and his popular group Trapezoid have been writing and performing songs about rural America. Love of the land coupled with the fear that development is slowly eroding the American rural lifestyle takes the group to Fauquier High School this Saturday for a concert to benefit the Piedmont Environmental Council. PEC initiated the “Disney: Take a Second Look” campaign in an effort to convince the Disney Co. to build its proposed Disney’s America project in another location than the 3,000-acre site selected in Prince William County. Mr. Reisler offered the services of the group to the PEC after he concluded that a number of state politicians had thrown support to the project without considering the farreaching effects. “A decision must be made that is not based on short-term profits,” he said. “The future of an entire area is at stake. We have a rare and untouched region and unless something is done, it will be paved over and lost for good.” “There is no question that the PEC is on the right side of this issue and has done an excellent job of bringing people together in this struggle,” Mr. Reisler added. , The Feb. 5th performance marks Trapezoid’s first major concert in Fauquier County although the group has toured nationally and internationally, Mr. Reisler said. Known for its excellent blend of acoustic instruments, Trapezoid fea tures Mr. Reisler on guitar, hammered dulcimer and bass; Martha Sandefer on guitar, bass and lead vocals, and Cedi Hooker on violin and vocals. Although Trapezoid has been described as a folk group, Mr. Reisler said the group performs music that lies somewhere between jazz, classical, folk and world music. “We have a long history that has mixed together and become our own style,” he said. “We owe a great debt to many kinds of music.” “A decision must be made that is not based on shortterm profits,” Paul Reisler The group began in 1975 in Elkins, West Virginia as a quartet of hammered dulcimers. What began as a hobby and something fun to do while traveling around the country canoeing and fishing took on a new level of importance when the group was offered a recording contract after its very first performance. In the mid 1980s Trapezoid found a home in Rappahannock County. Trapezoid’s seventh and latest album “Remembered Ways” was recently released under the Mr. Reisler’s own Azure Records label.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/ScoO F«rrell Trapezoid’s Martha Sandefer and Paul Reisler enjoy a bright winter day in Rappahannock. Previous albums were under other labels, and individual members of the group have been featured in more than 25 albums, Mr. Reisler said. In Rappahannock, Mr. Reisler said he and his wife, story-teller and actress Julie Portman, who is the artistic director of Ki Theatre, found just the right rural community that offered the beauty they sought as well as access to a metropolitan area. Over the years Trapezoid ebbed and flowed with various members coming and going. In the late ’80s the band actually disbanded for a brief time, until six-year band member Bob Read, who recently has gone with Bruce Hornsby, insisted the group be revived. “We went through a period where we felt we had gone as far as we could go,” Mr. Reisler said. “Bobby, who is the best musician I have ever met, pointed out how much we had done over 13 years and that we just needed a new direction.” Martha Sandefer joined the group after an audition in 1990. “I have had a lot of influences throughout my career,” she said, “such as jazz, bluegrass, folk and black gospel. I’ve had my finger in a lot of different pies.” Ms. Sandefer now also lives in Rappahannock. The third member of the group Cedi Hooks lives in Columbia, Va. Trapezoid’s new album captures the rhythm, richness and beauty of country life. Haunting songs such as “This Road” and moving instrumentals such as “Rappahannock,” written by Mr. Reisler for a PBS program entitled “Rural Communities: Legacy and Change” are testiment to Mr. Reisler’s deep affection for the country. “All of my music comes from the 25 years I have spent living in rural America,” he said. “Our music comes from our lives here in Rappahannock. It’s what we had to do because it is who we are. ” The Saturday concert at the Fauquier High School auditorium begins at 8 p.m. Tickets for the concert are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Locally tickets are available at Mountainside Market and the Earth Gallery in Washington, at Culpeper Music in Culpeper and various Warrenton outlets.

Rappahannock News CountrySide Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2,1994 Amissville Youth Finds Success as Dog Handler Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan David Loebs holds his prize-winning minpin Nitro. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Fourteen year-old David Loebs of Amissville hopes that he and his minpin, Nitre, will return with ribbons from the Westminster Kennel Club Show in New York City later this month. David is a dog handler. Besides showing dogs, he also shows himself. He will be entered in the senior division of the show, for ages 14 through 18. He will be showing his three year-old miniature Doberman Pinscher, or “minpin.”/ The Westminster show is the most prestigious in the country, and David will be be there for the third year in a row. Last year David won first place in the junior showmanship category for handlers of “toy” dogs, and finished fourth in the all-breed category. To have done so well is astounding, especially for someone who only began showing dogs three years ago. To qualify for entrance into the Westminster Show, a handler must have won several first place ribbons in the year preceding the show. “The competition is fierce”, said Kay Bare of Castleton, who raises and shows Afghan hounds. Last year the junior showmanship class, of which David was a member, began with about 175 handlers. David made the cut to the final eight, and then ended up placing fourth. “He has a natural talent. David has shown some of my afghans as a challenge, and he consistently won with the big dogs too,” said Ms. Bare. r David’s parents have raised nunpins for 12 years, and they used to show them themselves. David became interested in showing the minpins when he travelled around to shows with his parents. “I tried it and I liked it,” he said. During his first year showing dogs, David won 29 first place ribbons. During a show, to persuade his dog to behave in the ring, David will carry pieces of cooked liver in order to get his dog’s attention, and will then feed him the liver when he does what is expected of him. The only time that anything even remotely bad happened in the ring was when the thin leash David was using with his dog broke. That’s not too bad, considering how many shows David has been involved in. Minpins are known as “the king of toys.” David’s mother, Carol, said “He gets noticed because he has a minpin. David is probably the only kid in the country handling a minpin. They are difficult to handle because they are so squirrelly.” David does show other dogs besides the minpins, though they are the dogs he has won the most ribbons with. He also shows a pug, a German short-haired pointer, afghan hounds, a Norwegian elkhound, a Manchester terrier, and a dalmation. He has a nine month old Doberman Pinscher named Dan whom he is beginning to train. Dan is a dog with an enormous amount of energy and strength. “He’s like a bull in a china shop when we let him into the living room,” said Mrs. Loebs. Dan and David go running together. David also keeps in shape by playing baseball and lifting weights. He would love to play football, but his mother forbids it. David travels to dog shows most weekends out of the year, though some shows are also held during the week. Because of this schedule, he is being home-schooled this year. Before this year, though, he attended Rappahannock County High School. Days spent at shows are long ones. David normally rises about 6 a.m. and doesn’t finish his duties until 9:30 p.m. A lot of time is spent grooming, cleaning, and basically fussing over the dogs. The majority of the shows which David enters are on the east coast, but he has also travelled out west, and dog shows have become a good way to see the country. On the longer trips, he also has some free time to visit local attractions, such as Six Flags, or Disneyland. He also has a lot of friends whom he sees at many different shows throughout the year. The Loebs family has a van in which they travel to shows with David, though sometimes he travels with professional handlers whose dogs he shows. He doesn’t receive payment for the shows, but David hopes to eventually be a professional dog handler. Ribbons decorate three walls in David’s trophy room. -I I Rappahannock B and Bs Offer More Breakfast Recipes By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Following are several more appetizing breakfast recipes from Rappahannock County Bed and Breakfasts.

The excellent facilities at the Enterprises made for effeective control of all the animals. The 4-H member is responsible for care and feeding of the animal from now through the Farm Show. Their challenge will be to get their animals to market weight, usually 1,000 to 1,400 pounds depending on the breed and the animal by show time. If the 4-H’ers over feeds they waste money and can end up with an animals that is too fat. Too little feed and the animal won’t make the grade. It is a challenge. Randall Updike, 4-H adult volunteer, will be supervising and working with Rappahannock 4-H’ers to be sure that they are on track.

Gruber’s Thought For Today’s Living: “No man ever profiteth from a lack of desire to do his best and succeed in whatever it is he sets out to accomplish.” * 1 Leadership Workshop By HELEN W. SMITH , - Ezienalon A*ent, Home Economic* Leadership skills are developed through training and practice. Leadership skills are useful throughout life. Teens who enjoy working with younger children have some unique opportunities as teen leaders at a variety of 4-H camps. These include Pay Camp, Junior 4-H Camp, and Cloverbud camps. Teens also serve in leadership roles in clubs, at activities and events, and at workshops. An excellent leader training opportunity is available for teens on Friday evening, March 4 and Saturday, March 5. These 16 hours of training will be held at Culpeper Holiday Inn and will involve teens from more than a dozen counties that camp at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center in PVont Royal. The workshops will be led by teen and adult volunteers, Extension staff, and Center staff. Preregistration is required to attend. Teens age 14 as of Jan. 1, 1994, who are in the 9th grade or higher are invited to take part in the training and apply for a position at the various camps. Selection is based on applications and interviews. Former teen leaders have found summer jobs, part time jobs and strong college and scholarship recommendations as a result of their volunteer teen leader performances. For the high school student considering a career as a teacher, counselor or similar job, a week as a teen leader can confirm that desire or send them looking elsewhere.

Fiber and Health Benefits By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Hone Economics It seems that every month the food industry celebrates a certain food. Recently, I received information from one of the cereal companies promoting National Fiber Focus Month in February, 1994. What Is Fiber? What grandma called roughage, scientists know as fiber. Fiber is an important part of a healthful diet. In fact, health experts recommend we eat 20 to 35 grams of fiber each day. Foods vary in the amount and type of fiber they contain. Many fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, grains such as whole grain breads, brown rice, and whole grain and bran cereals are good sources of fiber. ' ' ' i Health Benefits There is no RDA for fiber, but there are reasons to include fiber in the diet: Aids digestion-Fiber has a bulking effect in the intestinal tract because it absorbs water. Constipation is often related to not enough dietary fiber. But if you’re not used to eating foods high in fiber, increase fiber gradually. Since fiber draws water into the large intestine, be sure to drink plenty of liquids every day. Asset in weight control-High fiber foods have satiety value or a feeling of fullness. When someone is trying to lose weight, if they fill up on fruits, vegetables, breads, and grains, they will be less tempted to eat foods high in fat and calories. - Some types of fiber (especially soluble fiber) may help lower blood cholesterol when eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in fiber-containing grain foods, fruits, and vegetables. Normally, foods high in fiber are low in fat, cholesterol, sugar, and sodium. Tips To Increase Fiber In Your Diet Try a whole-grain breakfast cereal, such as hot oatmeal or readyto-eat bran flakes, raisin bran, or wheat flakes. It doesn’t have to be 100 percent bran-look for a cereal with two or more grams of dietary fiber per serving. • Choose baked goods made using whole grains, such as whole-wheat bread, oatmeal bread and muffins, multigrain bread, graham crackers, and whole-wheat bagels. Make sure HOME ECONOMICS the whole-grain ingredient is listed first and second on the label. • Eat fresh fruit for desserts or snacks-berries, an orange, one-half grapefruit, prunes, or apricots. • Eat fruits and vegetables with their peel-apples, pears, peaches, summer squash or potatoes. • Add cooked or canned dry beans, split peas, and lentiles or your favorite soups, stews, and salads. Banana Muffins 1 cup Fiber One cereal, crushed 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium) 2/3 cup fat free plain or vanilla yogurt 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 egg whites or 1 egg 11/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup packed brown sugar or granulated sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, if desired 1/4 teaspoon salt Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease bottoms only of 10 medium muffin cups, 21/2x11/4 inches. Mix cereal, bananas, yogurt, raisins and vanilla in medium bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Beat in oil and egg whites. Mix remaining ingredients; stir into cereal mixture must until moistened. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown. Immediately remove from pan. Serve warm; 10 muffins. High Altitude Directions (3500 to 6500 feet): No changes needed. 1 serving (1 muffin): 160 calories; protein 4 g; carbohydrate 34 g; fat 3 g; sodium 210 mg; cholesterol 0 mg; total dietary fiber 5 g. 1 Place cereal between waxed paper, plastic wrap or in plastic bag; Medicinal Herbs There seems to be alot of interest in using herbs to maintain health and to treat disease. Even during the heyday of botanical medicine, there didn’t seem to be this much interest. And, there has never been as many herbs so widely available to those wishing to use them. But, these people are under the mistaken belief that herbs are healthier and safer than over-thecounter drugs. Information Is Not Always Accurate Unfortunately, the quality and accuracy of information about the use of such plant materials have not kept pace with the availability. Most packages bear no indications for use, lest the seller run afoul of the Food and Drug Administration. The consumer must refer to popular herbal literature in an attempt to understand how the herbs are used. And most of that information can only be classified as advocacy literature. In general, the literature is used to sell the product, not to provide sound information based on scientific evidence. V.E. Tyler of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Science at Purdue and author of “The Honest Herbal” has reviewed some various types of toxins found in herbs. For example, coltsfoot (one of the most popular herbal remedies), comfrey, and borage contain carcinogenic alkaloids. Carcinogenic derivatives are found in wild ginger, betel nuts, sassafras, and calamus. Croton seed and mezerion bark have been linked to turner promoting compounds. Arnica, an herb recommended for bruises and sprains may cause contact dermatitis. Angelica, rue, and St. John’s wort may induce photosensitivity-an allergic reaction to light. They Can Cause Damage In Different Ways Large quantities of Oriental, American, and Siberian ginseng have produced hormone-like effects including post memopausal bleeding. Heliotrine in heliotrope, nicotine in tobacco, and conine in poison hemlock contain alkaloids that induce birth defects. Apricot pits, wild cherry bark, and bitter almonds contain substances that are cellular respiratory inhibitors. Laetrile, which .is derived from apricot pits, is not only an unproven cancer cure, but also a toxin belonging to this group. Use of herbal cathartics and purgatives are risky since it is difficult to measure dosages or predict results. Common cathartics such as aloe, buckthorn berries, and senna; and purgatives such as ipomea and jalap should be avoided. Large quantities of parsley seed, juniper, American and European pennyroyal, tansy, and rue should be avoided as they may cause miscarriages. Some Herbs Contain Potential Toxins The oils derived form them should also be shunned. Pennyroyal and peppermint oils contain other volatile oils that can be toxic, to the liver and lungs. Therjone, derived from wormwood, is highly neurotoxic. These arejonly a few of the potentially hazardous herbs commonly used for self-medication. Inclusion here does not mean that single or even repeated doses of the products are going to result in irreparable harm to the user, but is does mean these herbs contain constituents identified to be toxic. The prudent consumer would do well to avoid them. (Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.)
