She used the results to compare both with results two years ago and with current national samples. “Some students over or under exaggerate their drug use,” she said, “but that is the same nationwide.” I Compared to two years ago, students report that more parents are discussing the “harmful effects of drugs” with them. They also report more conversations with friends on the subject. The use of cigarettes at school is down compared to two years ago, and more people are convinced cigarettes are harmful, Mrs. Brown reported. The use of beer at school is down, but the use of beer is up after school and on weeknights. However, even more students report using wine coolers and liquor before the age of 10, and the use of inhalents at school is up. There is some evidence education programs aimed at younger children may be working. Fewer sixth through eighth graders reported using cigarettes and alcohol within the past year than the national average. However, those in ninth through 12th grades report a higher percentage using cigarettes and alcohol than See Schools, Page A-8 Robb Carries County, Voter Turnout Low Wilder and Coleman Enter Race I By BILL DAY and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer* A victory for Sen. Charles S. Robb in Tuesday’s Democratic primary makes him the party’s candidate in a four-way race for the U.S. Senate. Robb ran somewhat better statewide than he did in Rappahannock County. Across the state, with11 60 percent of precincts reporting, unofficial returns showed that Robb had won 61 percent of the vote. Robb’s law school classmate', state Sen. Virgil H. Goode, won 31 percent of the vote, and Richmond attorney Sylvia L. Clute received 7 percent. Lyndon LaRouche candidate Nancy Spannaus earned 2 percent. In Rappahannock County Robb carried all but one precinct and won 54.8 percent of the vote. State Sen. Goode had 38.7 percent of the county I vote and carried the Washington precinct. Sylvia Clute had 5.7 percent of the vote and Nancy Spannaus got three votes, less than one percent. Of the county’s 3,534 registered voters, only 385 voted, about 10.9 percent. This was apparently slightly better than the state as a whole. Less than 10 percent voted statewide. In Washington fewer people voted in this primary in which all voters in Hampton District were eligible than voted in elections for Town Council a little more than a month ago. The future of the campaign is by no means certain. On Monday twotime Republican gubernatorial hopeful Marshall Coleman declared his candidacy as an independent and filed 25,000 signatures with the state Board of Elections. i In addition to Coleman, Robb will face controversial Iran-contra figure Oliver North, who was nominated at the Republican convention on June 4. Former Democratic Gov. L. Douglas Wilder also filed petitions with the Board of Elections, but he has declined to announce his intentions until Saturday, June 18. Wilder’s entry into the race would create a four-way contest, with votes split in both parties. After conceding defeat, Ms. Clute said “I’m going to the unity meeting tomorrow, and I’m going to support the nominee. I’m willing work in whatever way I can to help Chuck Robb. We must beat Oliver North.” Ms. Clute also urged Wilder to forgo a challenge to his old nemisis. “To return to the Robb-Wilder feud again would open the one opportunity Oliver North needs to win in the fall. I implore Doug Wilder not to get into the race.” ' ‘ 11 Democratic Primary Results Charles 1 Virgil Robb Goode \ Amlssvllle 43 23 i i Chester Gap t 15 11 Flint Hill 36 ‘ 17 Scrabble 35 29 Sperryvilte 47 31 Washington 35 38 211 149 Total Sylvia Nancy Clute f Spannaus Total voting in each precinct 70 27 62 1 68 81 77 t i 22 3 385 Old Rag Bulletins t Tax Relief For The Elderly The deadline for tax relief for the lowincome elderly and disabled is July 1.

Final Council Meeting Covers Many Subjects i' - • Campaign Investigation Continues By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Last week’s Washington Town Council meeting was the last for four of the seven members. At the meeting’s end, it was an emotional goodbye for outgoing Mayor Dean Morehouse, Treasurer Brad Fisher, and council members Susan Parrish and Mark Bailey. Mayor Morehouse presented all members of his council with a plaque containing a poem entitled “And Then Some,” and Ray Gooch read it aloud. A lot was “cleaned off the plates” at this last meeting. The 1995 town budget passed easily. A public hearing had been held on the budget one week prior to this meeting. Mayor Morehouse announced that he had bids from two surveyors, John Baumgardner and Wayne Niskanen, and he asked for authorization to negotiate with them for survey work, not to exceed $9,000. A new survey is being done of the streets and boundaries of the town, which will include the stub streets as town property. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said that he thinks the town will have to accept the private deeds and surveys as they are now, but the town does not presently have a survey of the streets. Mr. Gooch said, “My front yard is in jeopardy depending on how the survey of the stub streets go. I wonder is there ought not to be some opportunity once the survey is completed to be presented to the town residents before it is recorded. Mayor Morehouse answered, “Absolutplv.” Mr. Gooch added that when the survey is completed he would like it to be presented to the Town Council before being recorded. Diane Bruce responded that the mayor would have to sign off on the survey before recordation anyway, and that she would like to have a copy of it so that she can complete the title exam of the stub streets. Mayor Morehouse said that a copy of the survey, when completed, would be available in Frank Reynolds’ office. Mr. Reynolds said that he had received a letter from Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke regarding campaign materials which were distributed prior to the last Town Council election. One group seems to meet all the requirements of the law except for a statement saying “authorized by” the candidate. Mr. Reynolds’ said, “Mr. Luke needs to assure himself that the items were authorized by the person whose name was on it. He would get involved if someone’s name is on something but they say they did not send it out.” In the letter to Mr. Reynolds of other campaign materials, Mr. Luke said, “It is my opinion, at this point, that some of the material which you sent me may have been disseminated in violation of certain provisions of the Code of Virginia, and I have requested the Sheriffs Department assist me in an investigation with respect to these particular materials.” Mr. Luke also wanted to make it clear to Council that “because I may decline to prosecute certain technical violations of the election laws this does not mean that such omissions are condoned by me, nor that they would not be prosecuted if they were to occur airain in the future.” In a 1994 Annual Report addressed to Town Council, Residents and Neighbors of the Town of Washington, Mayor Morehouse stated that eight years ago “The town identified five major areas that would be critical for the preservation and operation of the Town as it faced the future,” and that those areas are zoning, historic preservation, revenue, safe and dependable water source, and fire and rescue programs. All of those programs have been addressed by this past council. The town has a new comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance and historic district ordinance. The new water system is nearly complete. The town’s revenue has risen dramatically since the inception of the 2.5 percent meals and lodging tax. The 1995 budget includes $13,000 for the fire department. The water project was funded with grants totalling $349,100 and a six percent FHA loan of $364,000, to be paid over forty years using current water rates. Mayor Morehouse said he would seek further funding to extend the water system before leaving office July 1. He also promises a great display of new fireworks. He said, “We hope you will all be able to attend our 4th of July celebration on the eve of the 245th birthday of The First Washington of Them All.” T Honor Graduates Prepare for College By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New» Staff Writer Joey Dunagan and Bonnie Jewell are the Class of 94’s valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. Traditionally, the valedictorian has the highest grade point average of the graduating class, and the salutatorian has the second highest. Both will be giving speeches at the RCHS graduation ceremonies Saturday morning. V Joey plans to attend Belmont University’s School of Music in Nashville in the fall. He is an accomplished musician who plays 6string and 12-string guitars, piano and bass, and composes and performs Christian music. Joey and his family attend Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, where he is also a member of the church youth group. At RCHS, Joey is a member of the National Honor Society, Technical Students’ Association, Varsity Club, and is Vice-President of the Student Council Association. He was the editor for the 1993-94 yearbook, and is the president of the Class of 1994. When asked what he will miss most about Rappahannock County, Joey responded, “I’ll miss the hour of free time you get to yourself when you need to drive an hour to do anything.” He said that he will also miss his friends and family. Bonnie will be studying at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg next fall, and is undecided about what her course of study will be. She has been very active in sports at RCHS. She has been an important member of the-softball and basketball teams during all four years at the school, and served as captain of both teams this year. Bonnie served as editor of the Sports Rapp newspaper at RCHS this year, and was a member of the National Honor Society and Varsity Club. Last year, she attended Girls’ State, where students learn about government. Like Joey, Bonnie also attends Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, and is a member of the youth group and youth choir there. Bonnie says she will miss the views and quietness in Rappahannock County, and her family and Mends. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/C indy Mahan Joey Dunagan and Bonnie Jewell are top graduates.

Mr. Freeman, 56, who lives off Route 614 in Gid Brown Hollow, said , the fox was at the corner of his house when he came down the stairs. He was wearing bedroom shoes and when the fox rushed at him he kicked it. He lost one of his shoes in the process and almost fell. The fox bit him on the leg and bit his arm also. “I grabbed him and killed him,” Mr. Freeman said. He was unarmed and killed the fox with his bare hands. “They were the only things I had. I didn’t have any choice,” he said. Once the fox was still, Mr. Freeman grabbed a stick and beat the fox on the head with it. He also went into the house got a rifle and shot the fox. Then he called a cousin to take him to the doctor. He left the fox lying in the yard. While he was gone some neighbors put the fox’s body in a sack and put it on the oil tank so other animals wouldn’t bother it. Game Warden Jim Bankston was dispatched but could not find the fox. The next day Mr. Freeman took the fox body to the Health Department. They were able to do the lab work that showed the fox had rabies. Mr. Freeman has had two shots and is due for two more. He said he is feeling all right and the wounds are healing well. v “I’ve seen foxes around all the time but didn’t pay attention to them,” he said. “This is the first one that ever tried to attack me.” \ Pet of the Week: The featured dog at the Shelter in Amissville this week are five beautiful Billy Hounds, two females and three males, creme with tan markings, all are affec' tionate and eager to please, all have been spayed or neutered. • Beagle/cross, tan and white, weighs about 35 pounds, young, very shy, found at Five Forks. • Hounds/cross, Carrie is a (s) female, black and tan, 45 pounds, very healthy and has great disposition, has all shots, found on U.S. 522 and 211 at Massie’s Corner. • Shepherd/cross, Chief is a one-and-one-half-year-old, golden reddish, beautiful and proud, found on Route 615 in Castleton. • Aussie/cross, one-year-old (n) male, brown, black and white, found at Amissville Post Office, very obedient, has all shots.

Fountain Installed Following 6-1 Vote By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The hoopla about the fountain is finally over. It was installed at the comer of Middle and Main Streets Thursday morning following last Wednesday's Town Council meeting. After hearing arguments from Town Attorney Frank Reynolds, appellant Robin Purnell’s attorney Doug Baumgardner, and several other speakers, the Town Council voted on the issue of whether Mrs. Purnell was allowed legally to be an “aggrieved party”. They voted that she was not. That decision ended the controversy of the fountain, which cleared the way for its installation. Mr. Reynolds opened the discussion about the appeal. He told the members of the council that they were faced with the question of whether the appellant was an aggrieved party. If they decided that she was, they would then have to decide whether the fountain was a structure. If they then decided that it was a structure, then it would go back to the ARB. > Mr. Reynolds said that in his opinion, Mrs. Purnell was not an aggrieved party under the Historic District Ordinance, and did not have ,tbe right to appeal the ARB’s decision about the fountain. He cited a zoning appeal case before the Virginia Supreme Court, decided in 1986, Virginia Beach Beautification Commission v. Board of Zoning Appeals of the City of Virginia Beach, et al.. In this case, it was decided that an “aggrieved party” must be either one who has a pecuniary interest in the decision, or is an adjacent of adjoining property owner deemed to have (linages. ; Mr. Baumgardner, speaking for his client, Mrs. Purnell, said that the Town Council had rejected adopting a narrow definition of what an aggrieved party would be in the Historic District Ordinance. He said that his client lives on the periphery of the town of Washington, that she is a resident of Rappahannock County and that Washington is the county seat. In a letter to his client, Mr. baumgardner said, “...as Virginia law makes clear, citizens of a county have a stake in the outcome of matters involving their county seat. You are certainly a party to the visual impact of the structure in question and you have articulated, in our recent conference, your strong support for the historic district program and your desire to protect American and Virginia history. These goals are, in turn, the objectives of the Historic District Ordinance. I think it clear that you are an aggrieved party and the Town Council is, therefore, required to hear your appeal.” Mr. Baumgardner said that his client was concerned about process, and had a question about the original application for a Certificate of Appropriateness filed about the fountain. In a letter to Mrs. Purnell dated June 1, 1994, Mr. Baumgardner said, “There is nothing in tiie record indicating that Ms. Van Dort has written permission from the Trustees of Trinity Episcopal Church to act as their agent in this matter.” Me said, we are not nere to argue that the fountain is ugly. We need to carefully follow procedures set out in the ordinance. Mr. Reynolds noted that the issue of the proper applicant had never been raised before. He said, “We must assume that our Zoning Administrator believed that she was a proper applicant and accepted the, application. Mr. McCarthy felt that he did not have the authority to exempt this fountain; he felt the decision needed to be made by the ARB.” Peter Kramer said that the whole issue made him sick to. his stomach, and that he doubted that it was the intention of the Town Council that a user of the post office would have a right to appeal. “That just does not make any sense to me,” he said. Mike Mahoney said, “The vestry of the church is the organization which conducts a team interest of the church. You will note that Trinity Episcopal Church is very likely going to expand its facilities in the future. If we do that, we will have to work with you (the Town Council). Our first objective is to work with you all as good neighbors. This is a nuisance and trivial appeal which costa us a lot of time and money. I want you to think about that.” Newbill Miller said that he did not think that people should be chastised before the Town Council. “Debate is what brought this country together.” he said. Ms. Purnell stated that she really resented being called a nuisance and just a user of the post office. “I think I have the right to bring the ARB to task. I find it very hard to accept. I think the fountain is a large structure. It really bothers me the way this has been handled.” She continued, “I do not mean to be vindictive. Is this a donation to the church in the best sense of the BELLE MEADE DAY CAMP For boys & girls ages 6-11 , 2-Wk Sessions - July 4-August 12 • Swimming • Informal Sports • Pond Exploration / • Nature Hikes • Arts & Crafts / • Singing & Drama Route 231, Sperryville Susan Hoffman & Mike Biniek l Camp Directors For information or to schedule a visit Call 703-987-9748 Amissville Volunteer Fire Department -FIREMEN'S Loc.

Patrick O’Connell told Ms. Purnell that as a town resident she would probably attend ARB meetings, that most likely her concerns would have been addressed there and “you would not have to go through this.” All members of the Town Council except Newbill Miller voted that Ms. Purnell was not an “aggrieved person” who had a right to appeal the ARB decision. Mr. Miller said, “I think anyone has a right to appeal.” ■ School Food Service Can Meet New USDA Guidelines By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Judy Burke, director of food service for the county public schools, said she does not anticipate much trouble meeting new USDA guidelines for school foods. The proposal requires school meals to meet the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans by the 1998 school year. This will mean requirements that school meals be lower in fats. Mrs. Burke said that lower fat has already become a part of the Rappahannock school lunch program. Recipes that call for ground beef have been altered to use 50 percent ground turkey and 50 percent ground beef, for example, she said, i “More fresh fruit and fresh raw vegetables have been added to the menu this past year,” she added. The school foods also include low fat and skim milk, low fat yogurt and salads. “Hot dogs and luncheon meats are low fat and low sodium, this year and have been well received by the students,” she added. “We’ve been using common sense without these new guidelines,” she said. She said she will be attending a conference on school food service in Reston later this month. The proposed guidelines will require new forms to be filed out. The USDA said this will reduce the paperwork burdens on foor service managers. Mrs. Burke said she expects to learn more about that part of the program before the guidelines take effect, but she is not worried about meeting the new nutrition requirements.

RAWL Luncheon ; $ Raises Needed Funds By CINDY MAHAN * Rappahannock Ncm Staff Writer » The Rappahannock Animal Wei* fare League brunch at the Bleu Rock Inn last Sunday was a tremendous success. According to treasurer Ron Werronen, RAWL netted close to 13,500. Lisa Reid from RAWL told the audience that the brunch was the first time that the organization had been able to come together for such a large gathering, then gave some background. RAWL was incorporated in 1991, but the first animal shelter was opened in December, 1990. Ms. Reid said that after five days, animals are wards of RAWL, and that RAWL does not wish to kill any animals in its care. “In 1994 not one has been put to sleep and we do not intend to,” she said. Two Graduate From Tech Elizabeth T. Conover of Washington and Christopher J. Irmen of Viewtown graduated from Virginia Tech this May. Additionally Miss Conover was on the Dean’s List for the spring semester. Sophomore Rossman P. Irwin III of Flint Hill also made the Dean’s List at Tech this spring. He maintained a 4.0 grade point average. Ms. Reid said that RAWL staff members take animals to the Petstuff in Manassas on Fridays and Saturdays for adoption. The program was started last September, and 140 have been adopted since then. Treasurer Ron Werronen told the audience, “It takes every one of you working in harmony to make it happen. Since 1991 we are seeing double the amount of animals coming through the shelter.” The projected number for 1994 is 400. He said that the annual budget is up to $37,000, up from $5,000 in the first year. Mr. Werronen said that all animals adopted out have all of their shots, and adult animals are spayed or neutered. Because of these expenses, new owners are charged $75 for dogs and $35 for cats. The special guest speaker at the luncheon was Dr. Michael W. Fox, a veterinarian and vice president of the Humane Society of the United States. / He spoke of compassion and reverence for one another, for animals and for the earth. He said, “A sign of hope and of civilization and preservation is an active humane society, animal shelter and such things af food banks, orphanages, housing for all in need, and regional sustainable family farms. Too few know about the work that sustains them or how. Milk comes from cartons, not from cows; the soil is dirt, not gold; nature is a resource and animals were created primarily for human use.” He concluded with, “The humane society here is the beginning of a much broader vision.” , Rappahannock News Staff PbottV/Cindy Mahan Veterinarian Michael W. Fox’s dog slept peacefully through the RAWL brunch.Dr. Fox spoke to the group on reverence for animals. Lowered Speed Limit i Causes Controversy ' / )! By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The recently lowered speed limit in Flint Hill has provoked the wrath of at least one driver who apparently sent out anonymous letters to the businesses in the town. The letter attacks the business community, VDOT and the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. It claims the business community banded together to impose a “25 mph radar trap” on the town, and that VDOT did not do the necessary traffic study before lowering the speed limit in town. That is not so, Robert Moore, VDOT resident engineer said. The request to study a lower speed limit came from an elected official who was apparently passing on a request from one business. When the department received the request, it did a traffic study, he said. In the case of subdivisions and small towns, he said, the traffic study involved considering the width and grade of the roadway, parking, and pedestrian traffic. In Flint Hill there is frequent parking on both sides of the road with drivers opening doors into the road. There are also pedestrians in the road. Because of these factors VDOT decided to have a 25 mph section on U.S. 522 in the center of town. Traveling north from Massie’s Comer as a driver approaches Flint Hill, the speed limit is reduced to 35 mph, then in the center of town to 25 mph and leaving town is increases to 35 mph before going back up to 55, Mr. Moore said. l Sheriff John Henry Woodward said it is unusual to be accused of bet ing too vigorous in enforcing speed limits. He said he is usually accused of not giving enough time to enforcing lowered speed limits in towns, but he would have to station a deputy in each town full time to satisfy these demands, and he does not have enough deputies to do that. The Rappahannock News received a letter to the editor about this issue, but because it was in the form of a reply to the anonymous notice sender the letter would not have made sense by itself. Martha * aulKner said sne is employed by a business in town that had nothing to do with getting the lower speed limits, but she is glad they were lowered. “I feel that the 25 mph signs are good for Flint Hill. They should have been put up long ago,” she wrote. “There are a lot of blind spots to pull out of there, and at this speed it can stop a lot of accidents, if only people like you could obey the speed limit. I for one have come close to being hit on several occasions because of people like you.” “My mother was killed in an accident by a person who didn’t care about any speed limit signs, just like you. She was the victim. I hope you wake up and realize that you’re not the only person who uses these roads... “I would like to thank Sheriff Woodward and his department for doing such a good job of enforcing the speed limits. Keep up the good work,” the letter ended. _ •, ■ Congratulations Rappahannock Graduating Class of 1994 Michelle A. Atkins Robin C. Atkins Carlos Avelar Nadya Avila l Dei trie h A.

Baccalaureate Speaker Says, 'Don't Leave Home Without Him' By JON C. HEDDLESTON g»pp«h«iu»ock N«w» Contributing Writer Tim Fox was the yearbook photographer the year my class was graduated from high school. I though of Tim Fox and his photography several times this school year while the Rappsody staff labored over producing your senior yearbook. Tim Fox was a senior classmate of mine, and he took his photography very seriously. I can see Tim now—an indelible picture in my mind—standing in the Center of the gym at our high school with his camera strapped around his neck. Tim was a strapping big boy— an Ohio farm boy-4>ut he never looked like a farm kid when he came to school. Tim always wore a bleachwhite shirt and a black tie, black trousers and black dress shoes. But, even though he dressed up every day, Tim always looked a little disheveled—his tie too short because of his big belly, a shirt tail not tucked in because it had worked its way out, his camera daggling dangerously close to his thick throat. rs'*. Lots of kids teased Tun—even th6 younger students—because he was big, he was dressed differently and his mannerisms were a bit odd. They teased Tim from a distance, though, because he was powerful strong—a star wrestler until the day he hurt someone and quit the team. Tim never intentionally hurt anyone. He was soft-spoken, a gentle and considerate giant. I never knew Tim to turn on anyone in anger. Rather, he turned toward them with his camera. My, could Tim Fox take pictures! Good pictures. I can see them, too, in my mind—the football player shaking his fist from the side line, the cheerleader standing attentively as the American flag waved behind her, the wide-angle shot of the Victory bell so sharp you could almost hear it ringing when you looked at that picture. Tim Fox was everywhere with that camera. He took awesome pictures of classmates—people who might have pretended that Tim Fox.. .didn’t-evenexist. I bumped into Tim, literally, a few years ago while we were lining up for a class photo at our 20-year class reunion back home in Ohio. He nearly knocked me down. Tim is a big man, too. We reminisced for some time that special night—even exchanged addresses and wrote to one another. I told Tim what a blessing he was to our class because of all the great photography in our yearbook. He just smiled in his same nlfi nniet wav I introduced Tim to my wife, and we talked about marriage and family. Tim told us his wife had left him and that she had custody of their children. He said he lived alone, but kept busy—said he was a baker for a large grocery-store chain. “I must start making those donuts at 5 a.m. sharp, seven days a week,” he said, smiling. “But I have tomorrow off because of our class reunion.” The next morning—Sunday morning—we got up and went to church with my sister—something we look forward to doing when we are home. I couldn’t believe who I saw when I walked in the sanctuary. There, in a front row, sat Tim Fox, a member of my sister’s church. I kept glancing at him during the service— he sat quietly, attentively listening to the preacher’s message. After the service, I caught him at the door. "Tim, what are you doing here?” I said happily. “Heddleston,” he responded, his tone serious. “What are you doing here?” Then it struck me, and I knew why Tim Fox was the boy who could take all the teasing. I knew why Tim Fox was the gentle man he had become. I knew why Tim Fox was spiritually strong—tough enough to take life’s hardest punches without being knocked out. It was because Tim Fox had Jesus Christ in his heart. It was because he had a personal relationship with Jesus which had become a stabilizing force in his life. The thesis statement of my speech tonight is this: Don t leave home without Jesus: Don’t leave home without Him. I left home without Jesus when I was 18. I went to Kent State Universiety the year after four stuents were shot there by Ohio National Guardsmen. But I thought I would live forever. A Rod Stewart song topped the charts that September: Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin’ to say to you... The refrain should have been: Wake up, Heddleston, I think I got somethin’ to say to you... I recall the day the Bible thumpers at Kent State tried to grab me in the hall. Wanted to show me how to get to heaven. Wondered if I knew if I was going there. Hey, I didn’t even know if I was going to my next class! They showed me' a giant flip chart with Jesus—a big X—right smack dab in the middle. Heaven was in the cloud above the X and a sinner—persumably me—was down below. Like a highway map, the diagram showed only one road leading to heaven— and it passed right through Jesus. Well, I wasn’t real big on geography in those days, so I sped out of there and for many years I drove in the opposite direction. Like most college students then—and now—I got busy trying to find myself. This is what I found when I went searching for myself. It is an onion. I brought this onion because it best represents what people discover when they try to find themselves. Because what do you find when you peel an onion? You find nothing. Because there is nothing inside an onion. An onion is just layer upon layer of thick, dead slrin. An onion is hollow inside. Empty. And so are we—without Jesus. And this is why we should not leave home without Him. if you have Jesus in your heart, then you have set for yourself the highest standard of ethics and morality known to humankind. Jesus is the perfect model for proper human behavior. If you have doubt about your God-given purpose in life, Jesus can help you displace it. If you have envy in your heart, Jesus can help you erase it. If you have hatred in your heart, Jesus can help you transform it into love every person you meet. Jesus loves you—no matter who you are—no matter what you have done. He does not care what you look like; in fact, Jesus was not a physically attractive man. The prophet Isaish said that there would be nothing comely (or handsome) in His appearance that would draw people to Him. Rather, it would be what He said and what He did that B would draw us to Him. Jesus does not care about your clothing; He said we need not worry about what we wear. Jesus cares about you—about the things that you think, about the things that you hide in your heart. I remember the hidden feelings I had the first year I taught in a classrom filled with seniors. “But Lord, the boys are wearing earrings!” I thought. “Love them,” Jesus whispered. “But Lord, the girls have purple hair!” I remonstrated. “Love them,” Jesus whispered. “But Lord, look at those Mohawks! I mean we had long hair, but...” j “Love them!” Jesus commanded, and He enabled me to see past such superficial things. For when the Lord looks at us he sees beyond physical things—he sees the spiritual things that are harbored in human hearts. And He will enable you to look upon others with love, too—if you don’t leave home without Him. /• A few years ago, a severly handicapped high school students from the Midwest did not leave home without Jesus. And it is a good thing that he didn’t—even through he was going to a Christian campers’ retreat with hundreds of other high school students. This young man was confined to a wheelchair, and his disability made it difficult for him to speak clearly. During the week-long retreat, one of the counselors noticed—much to his dismay—that some of the campers teased the handicapped student. Oddly, the counselor said, these were the students who just seemed to have everything going for themthey were athletic and attractive and intelligent. On Friday night—the final night of the retreat—campers were given the opportunity to come forward—to tell others what Christ had done for them. The counselor noticed that a few of the same students who had teased the handicapped boy took the microphone and spoke quite fluently about all the good things they were doing. Then the handicapped boy worked his way forward—a difficult thing to do for the wheelchair was powered by nothing more than the strength in his own arms. Silence settled over the crowd as the mike was lowered. The counselor wondered what this young man might sav. “I L-O-V-E JE-SUS AND JESUS L-O-V-E-S ME!” Jesus loves you. And the day you believe this with all of your heart, it will change your life. Don’t leave home without Jesus; Don’t leave home without Him. Amen. ("Editor’s Note: Jon C.

' The Audit Bureau WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15,1994 ) Editorial i : The Town and The Inn ' There is a growing concern in the Town of Washington about the influence of The Inn at Little Washington over 1 town doings and more importantly over town land. This is perfectly understandable. The owners of The Inn also own several other buildings and lots in the heart of town. However, it is certainly not true that the owners of The , Inn are buying up the whole town. There are currently several buildings in town for sale they have shown no interest in buying. Nevertheless some concern about what they already own and may own in the future is understandable. However, the form this concern took in the “Battle of the Fountain” was absolutely bizarre. i The owners of The Inn offered to put a fountain and r plantings in the area created when the comer was squared off and some of the land taken from Trinity Episcopal Church over the years by the highway department was restored to the church. 1 They attenpted to make this donation anonymously, but frotn the beginning opposition to it was based on the asumption that the gift was from The Inn. When the matter came before the Architectural Review Board, member Patrick O’Connell revealed that he was a donor in the process of explaining that he had a letter from Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke expressing the opinion that Mr. O’Connel did not have a conflict of interest in considering the aDDlication. The ARB decided the proposed fountain was not structure and thus did not rule on whether or not it was “appropriate.” The discussion that night revealed that most people thought the issue would not have arisen if the fountain had been planned for a less conspicuous location. How ever, the town's Historic District Ordinance does not contain an overlay district indicating locations more critical than others. All of the town is equally in the historic district. Other discussion considered where to draw the line on structures. If the fountain was to be considered a structure, what about a swing set? In short the ARB by ruling the fountain was not a structure, finessed the issue. » This was a decision that could be appealed, and it was. But the person filing the appeal had to claim to be “aggrieved” by the decision. Robin Purnell, who filed the appeal, does not live in town or own property in town. The members of Town Council voted 6 to 1 that she did not have standing to appeal. Before that vote, however, Mrs. Purnell said that what she objected to was the likelihood that the fountain and plantings were not truly a gift to the church, but were intended rather to enhance the business of The Inn. The fountain has been installed as have many plantings around it. Some passersby say it is “beautiful” or “lovely.” Others express the view that it is all perhaps “too much for our town.” As Ms. van Dort predicted, the fountain is dwarfed, not only by the large Bradford pear tree that was already there, but by the other plantings. Such plantings are definitely not under the purview of the ARB. Frankly we hope this is the end of the issue. But before it is laid to rest, we must say we are puzzled. If the patrons of The Inn are able to enjoy the planting and fountain as well as members of the church, patrons of the post office, Rare Finds, Eileen Day Realty and the Middle Street Gallery, has anyone been harmed? This is what used to be called a “win-win” solution. When did that become a bad thing? Rappahannock Heritage f Rappahannock News Staff Photai'Cindy Mahal James Henze, Corey Hitt and Katie Johanson graduated from CCLS’s pre-school last Thursday. Paper's Coverage Inadequate To the Editor: Upon reading the June 8 issue of the Rappahannock News I was disappointed, but not surprised, to find that no significant written coverage was given to the dinner and auction sponsored by the local Chapter of the American Heart Association. A dedicated group of individuals worked very hard to make this event a success and the best your paper could do was run a couple of pictures. I say I was not surprised because this is the kind of coverage we have come to expect from you. You were in attendance at this event, although your early departure prior to the fundraising auction was noticed, so why could you not write an article about it? Were not all the individuals who worked so hard worthy of recognition? This is not the only reason for this letter. The lack of coverage of this event is but another example of the lack of concern you have for many of the events and activities that take place in our county. A meeting was held several months ago concerning the future of the arts in the county. You were in attendance and many concerns and ideas were put forth. Upon leaving you stated that you didn’t feel that the meeting was “Newsworthy.” So what is “Newsworthy” in your mind? Perhaps you are not aware that the county extends far beyond the Washington Town Limits. There are many hardworking, dedicated individuals who live in all the sections of our county and many activities that are worthy of coverage. When was the last time you covered an event or activity in Chester Gap, Woodville, Castleton or Scrabble? The weekly Little League games in Amissville deserve coverage. The purpose of a ‘local” paper is to provide support for local events that benefit the community as a whole. You are failing badly in that responsibility. If you don’t find the hard work and concerns of your fellow citizens as “Newsworthy” then perhaps you should step aside and let them find someone who does. In closing I would point out that very few of your readers really care that Joe Blow from Beltsville, Md. was convicted of driving 70 MPH ins i a 55 MPH speed zone. Why not use page 2 for some meaningful local news. RON MAKELA Amissville I Rabbi's Silence Eloquent a To the Editor: On Sunday evening the RCHS Bible Club sponsored the forty fourth annual baccalaureate service for the graduating class, and the class of 1994 was truly blessed with a wide array of optimistic and noteworthy clergymen, and women, who offered their advice, hopes and dreams for the future. Throughout the service, various speakers expressed their faith in the graduates and raised their voices in songs of praise. There was one voice, however, that was silent at the baccalaureate service on Sunday. Rabbi Carla Theodore of Woodville was invited to attend the ceremony and appeared 2£T YEARS AGO WHEN MV DAD WAS bhssh CO NCE RN E D_ ABOUT_ AUTO MAT 10 N HE |i WAS TOLD IT WOULD CREATE. MORE LEISURE TIME. WELL, THEY WERE RIGHT. fOR IHE PAkST 10 DEAR'S HE'S HAD NOTH1NG..BUT LEISURE TIME AND THE OOT^\L°Q* FOR ME ISN'T MUCH BETTER. VIRGINIA IS A ‘RIGHT-TO-WORK STATE SO WHY __ aren't you fl WORKING P/ f with a grace and charm which enlightened the stage and hightened the spirit of the graduates. She did not, however, have a chance to enlighten the podium; Ms. Theodore was not a scheduled speaker for the ceremony. I had the fortunate opportunity of meeting with the Rabbi at the conclusion of the evening, and I was saddened to know that such insight, such elegance, and such vision was silenced at the ceremony. Her glowing charm, her graceful and quiet entrance and exit, and her silent victory of spirit moved me more than any words spoken during the ceremony. I looked with curiosity and awe at Ms. Theodore throughout the ceremony, and she projected an aura which was undeniably spiritual, and undeniably powerful. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Rabbi for attending our service and to ask next year’s class to give her a voice, for her message transcended silence this year, and although silence has its virtues, just imagine the power of her words. STEVE RALLS Washington Volunteers, Donations Appreciated To the Editor: On behalf of The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, I would like to express our appreciation for the many donations and volunteer hours which made the “Pump Boys and Dinettes” benefit for the Washington Volunteer Fire Department an overwhelming success last week. This fund raiser enabled RAAC to make a significant donation to the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, which will be used toward a free concert to enhance the department’s annual Fourth of July celebration. Among those scheduled to perform are The Seldom Scene and Rare Bird. We appreciate the tireless efforts of Bev Atkins, Ellen Manson and their kitchen crew, which resulted in an excellent dinner featuring culinary contributions from The Bleu Rock Inn Restaurant, The Country Cafe, and The Inn at Little Washington. Pam Round and The Natural Marketplace in Warrenton donated a tasty vegetarian entree. Thanks also to The Mountainside Market, The Earth Gallery, The Natural Marketplace and Culpeper Music for assisting us with ticket sales, and to Trinity Episcopal Church and Middle Street Gallery for lending their chairs. The Fauquier Community Theatre cast and producer Marcus Haynes were wonderful to work with. These talented folks are to be admired as much for their altruism as for their fine performance. Finally, we would like to thank the Rappahannock News for publicizing this worthwhile community event. Thanks to you, we were sold out and actually had to turn people away. We truly couldn’t have done it without your support! PAGE ANN SMITH, President RAAC Miller Supporters Not Crazy i To the Editor: Dream on, Mr. Sloane, dream on. The Democrats are the “real people’s party, the party that...puts individuals before ideology?” Especially when the individuals are friends of, say, Dan Rostenskowski, or went to school with the Biliary, it does. I’ve noticed that being named Kennedy helps too. Otherwise, not so you’d notice, no. I can understand why the Democrats have a problem with the Republican “ideology,” consisting mainly as it does of the idea that individuals do a lot better for themselves when they are left to themselves than when they have the government looking over their shoulders and digging into their pockets. Yes, we Miller supporters have a problem, but I imagine we can cope with it. True, Col. North’s people seem to have a problem working for the party when there is no issue involved that engages their particular passions, and indeed, they have a difficulty distinguishing between their personal desires and the Ten Commandments, but vote Democratic? We lost a convention, Mr. Sloane. We lost the first fine edge of our enthusiasm. We did not lose our minds. EDITH POND v Sperryville S.V.F.D. Thanks Community For Support i To the Editor The SperryviUe Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank its members, their families, the community volunteers, and Dean Amusements for their help in making this year’s Annual Firemens’ Carnival and Parade a success. 1 We would like to thank all of the fire companies, marching units, arid commercial and civic organizations that participated in our Firemens’ Parade. We would like to extend our congratulations to those companies, units, organizations, and individuals who won trophies and awards this year. A special thank you and congratulations to Julie Atkins, our new Honorary Fire Queen, and Angie Reid, a queen contestant, for their efforts on behalf of the SperryviUe Fire Department in selling raffle tickets. Your help and hard work was greatly appreciated. Finally, we would like to thank the community for its generous participation and acknowledge that without your continued support the SperryviUe Volunteer Fire Department would not be a success.

Regulations on Migrant Farm Labor Increased^ 1 I Farmers who hire non-American work crews under the H-2A program face increased hassles form the U.S. Department of Labor, warns Jane Futch, Virginia Farm Bureau Federation assistant public affairs director. “I recently attended a migrant labor conference in Williamsburg where representatives of the Legal Services Corp. (a migrant worker advocacy group) made it quite clear they were out to kill the H-2A program,” she said. According to Ms. Futch, farmers who previously hired alien workers were allowed to use American workers at the same time. 1 Now the government wall require formers to fire their H-2A crews and replace them with American crews when they become available. Farmers will not be allowed to split up groups of American workers and share them with several employers. The change went into effect for all H-2A applications filed beginning June 1. This makes an already complicated and over-regulated program practically unworkable, she said. “Unfortunately, the fact is that U.S. workers don’t want to work in agriculture,” Ms. Futch explained. “It’s hard, hot work and Usually alien workers are the only ones willing to do it. So farmers have to rely heavily on foreign workers to harvest their crops.” Several other new challenges face employers of alien farmworkers. In the past, H-2A workers could receive a daily refund from growers of up to $6.81 for living expenses while en route to the job site. Now the labor department has raised that .Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR THE PRICING PROCESS Thinking about selling your home? One of the first, and without doubt, the most important task at hand is setting the right price. The initial asking price can make all the difference in any real estate market (good or bad) not only as to the amount of profit, but how long it takes to sell - or whether it will sell at all. You don't want to set the price too low for obvious reasons. On the other hand, setting a price too high may mean you'll be paying two mortgages. That's where the help of our experienced agents can be invaluable. First, we'll inspect your home. Then well do a thorough, objective market analysis, comparing your home with other similar homes that have sold recently in the immediate area. This is not guesswork, but use of actual sales statistics. Then we ll compare these recent sales to your home in terms of location, size and condition. After all this is done, we'll suggest a price range. Finally, it will be up to you to choose the price in this range you feel is right. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, the Clopton House, Washington, Va., 22747. Phone 675-3033, We re here to help. maximum daily subsistence refund to $24, Ms. Futch said. (Workers must still provide receipts in order to be reimbursed.) ( And tobacco growers in North Carolina have been ordered to pay more of their H-2A workers’s transportation costs to the site, if including those costs lowers the workers’ first paycheck to below the applicable minimum wage. “At this time, we’ve been advised by the American Farm Bureau Federation (legal counsel) not to pay those costs or any fines or penalties,” Ms. Futch said. “This is not a regulation, there’s no law stipulating this.: so we’re questioning how the Department of Labor has the authority to enforce this.” North Carolina growers were deliberately targeted, Ms. Futch said, because it was felt they might be more susceptible to pressure to drop the H-2A program because of all the other challenges tobacco growers face today.

Slack-jawed, I zero in on the driver. He’s an older man. Quite old. He sits there a minute collecting himself. It’s not like he lost control of his vehicle. He just decided to overshoot the driveway...way overshoot the driveway...like he owned the place or something. One leg at a time, he slowly eases out of the front seat, careful not to scrape his tender looking eightysomething scalp. Not ready yet to deal with introductions, he opens the back door to get at a pair of well worn crutches. Slowly he steadies himself and stands firm at last. I get the feeling he knows what I’m thinking; “Who are you? Let me see your driver’s license. You are on crutches and driving yourself to the pond’s edge. What’s wrong with this picture?” , Ihe old man looks up and smiles bigtime, laughing that sweet merry laugh anyone who ever knew him will never forget. “Aubrey Keyser,” he says. “Pleased to meet you. I was born here.” A “weekender” in Rappahannock County, I had long ago made peace with the fact that there are people and a lore here that would remain beyond reach. Relationships that go back generations, long-remembered and ' long-forgotten histories, the feuds and the reunions, too much Rush River water under the bridge for a newcomer to ever quite sense or fully appreciate. That is, until I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Keyser that summer day when he dropped by what is now my farm, the old Keyser family homeplace in Gid Brown Hollow. The notice of Mr. Keyser’s death which ran in the Rappahannock v News the week of June 8 reduced his rich life down to the bare facts as obituaries must: Aubrey Hubert Keyser lived ninety-one years. As I got to know him better, we would time-travel together across those years in long conversations on the back porch, sometimes with the help of a tape recorder, all the time on the wings of his memories. His legal named may be Aubrey but as far back as he could recollect he was nicknamed “Buster.” Little Buster was bom in Novemeber, 1903, in Gid Brown Hollow. In the great American tradition he was bom in a log cabin made of sturdiest Chestnut. His earliest memory was being dragged by Oxen on a “slide” in the snow by his dad, Hubert. Buster Keyser grew up in a Rappahannock County where rivalries between hollows may have been enought to spark decades-long family “feuds.” “The Harris’ and the Keysers were always shootin’ at each other,” Mr. Keyser told me before he started laughing at the craziness of it all. “Ol’man Harris said, ‘It was a dark, dark cloud crossed over the Blue Ridge when those damn Keysers came to Rappahannock.’” Mr. Keysets grandfather Ed came to Rappahannock County early in the 19th century from Page County and lived with his wife at the homeplace along with Buster’s parents, Hubert—the sheriff—and his wife Lula. I am sorry I never asked Mr. Keyser what this feud with the Harris’ was all about. I suspect he wouldn’t have known other than to laugh about a time when war was “inter-hollow” before it went international with the horrors of World War I. “Say, fellow! Tell me the name of that mountain over there,” said the U.S. Geological Survey mapmaker to Buster in front of the Keyser Farm in the 1920's. Buster told him the mountain did not have a name but was owned by his family. “Good enough for me,” said the mapmaker, “You just named yourself a mountain, Keyser Mountain it is.” Buster remembered that moment like it was yesterday. Time travel with Mr. Keyser in the latter years of his life was not spent visiting the momentous occasions or major turning points. Rather, his were the kinds of memories you would expect to well up at the place where you were a kid almost a century ago. The fun stuff. The best times. Like the time he caught 24 bull frogs in one day. Or making chestnut shingles—shakes— with Ed Coppage and selling them for three cents each. He told me about a particular day spent rabbit hunting in the hollows around Keyser Mountain. “I smelled smoke and saw this little blaze. And I thought now who the hell is building a fire in these woods. I look and saw an old an old manreading the Bible. I went up to him and started talking to him. It was Bill Smedley! You know what? He gave me two gallons of the best Apple Brandy I ever had. There we sat, reading the Bible and making Rrnndv!” Mr. Keyser was a self-proclaimed FDR-Drmocrat who worked for the Civilian Conservation Corps, the CCC. “I was lucky, I reckon to get the job,” he said with characteristic modesty. “Somebody got the idea that I knew something about dynamite, so I got the job blasting rocks around the state. In the CCC Camp, that bought me a pretty good salary,” Mr. Keyser said. Somehow the image of Mr. Keyser with a stick of dynamite in his hand strikes terror in my heart. As the years went by, Mr. Keyser knew he needed no invitation to visit his homeplace. Frequently he would come by accompanied by a wide range of companions—lady friends on a Sunday drive, old friends of the family. One time he came by with his best friend to the end, Carroll Racer, nephew of Clarence Racer, one of Mr. Keyser’s best boyhood friends. Carroll’s grandfather worked on the Keyser farm. And Carroll’s mother, Mary Virginia Coppage Racer, remembers visiting her grandparents who lived in a log cabin perched on the side of Keyser Mountain. She fetched water from the Keyser spring, a spring Mr. Keyser says never goes dry. His life was like that. The last time I saw Mr. Keyser was at his 90th birthday party held at Mountain Green Farm. It was a grand occasion. Surrounded by multiple generations of Rappahannock County friends and family, he had the best time. We gave him a framed photograph of his homeplace which he held onto for awhile and then passed it around the room, the log cabin in the hollow! Farewell, Mr. Keyser. I undersand the lads from the Child Care and Learning Center did a balloon release to mark your passing. Higher and higher the balloons rose to salute your great spirit. My memories are more hollowbound. When asked if his homeplace had any ghosts, Buster Keyser replied, “None that I ever ran from!” (Editors Note: Charles Francis is a weekend resident of Rappahannock County.) Library Reading Program Ready for Summer Readers The Rappahannock County Library is preparing for another exciting summer filled with reading, programs and prizes.

Mrs. Brown said it is difficult to estimate what effect school programs to limit drug use are having. “We feel the DARE program is working well, but we’re countering TV ads and mass media and the drug markets in the communities around us,” she said. “You cannot accurately measure prevention,” she added. “We think it is working. Without it, it would be worse. Generally we’re pretty close to the national average.” Mrs. Brown said 63 percent of the seniors report drinking beer on weekends. “We’re missing the parent-community involvement,” she said. Ted Van Kirk of Dewberry and Davis presented the firm’s report on alternatives for treating sewage to the School Board. Dewberry and Davis was hired to study alternatives for three possibilities: a system for the elementary school only, one that would serve both schools, and one that could serve a possible middle school and possibly the commercial area near the schools. lur. v oil runs, sam ne wouia recommend a Lemna system. This would involve a grid of duckweed plants over about two-thirds of the lagoon. The plants would use the nitrogen being discharged, thus reducing the discharge of amonia. The elementary school must upgrade the system to reduce the release of amonia. Mr. Van Kirk said the firm also studied mound systems, artificial wetlands and package treatment plants. Compared to the Lemna system, the mound and artificial wetland systems are less likely to get approval of the Department of Environmental Quality. They also respond less well to the reduction of flows in summer when school is not in session. A package treatment plant would be easily approved, but it also would not work well when flows are low, and it would require a full-time operator, he said. With the Lemna system, the schools could work as they do now, making part-time use of the operator who runs the Sperryville treatment plant. To provide treatment for both schools, Mr. Van Kirk said it would be necessary to pump sewage from the high school to the lagoon. In addition he said the discharge should go to the Covington River instead of i a small tributary. He said restrictions on discharges are much more severe for smaller bodies of water. The system could be expanded to handle up to 50,000 gallons per day, , he said, but at that point it would be necessary to aerate the discharge and a full-time operator would be required. / He estimated the project cost for the elementary school only at $147,480. That would include lining the lagoon. The school board has setaside $237,100 for septic engineering and construction from the bonds issued for the elementary school expansion. This amount would approximately pay for the Lemna system for the elementary school and the additional costs of bringing sewage from the high school to be treated. However, Mr. Van Kirk did not recommend that additional work in the initial plan. The bond funds must be spent by December of 1995. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell said the construction project is on schedule but no longer has a buffer of time. The board adopted a calendar for the coming year that includes a work day November 18 for the move into the new addition. The board approved a revised grading system. Mr. Chappell also reported the state will require next year that every graduate either be prepared for college or complete a vocational program. He said that students schedules are being developed to meet this requirement. The board opened bids for various services but agreed the administration should study the bids before accepting any. The board will meet June 27 at 11 am. to pay final bills in the current fiscal year. The July meeting was scheduled for Thursday July 21 instead of the customary day because members vacation plans presented conflicts.

Youth Group : Members To Wait For Marriage ^ A group of young people form Washington Baptist Youth Group and Sunday School have made a commitment to wait until marriage for sex. 1 The commitment cards which they signed were displayed this week at the Southern Baptist Convention in Orlando, Fla. with approximately 100,000 commitment cards from young people all over the country. Recognizing the rising threat of Alt)S and other sexually transmitted diseases, the youth have decided to participate in a national campaign called “True Love Waits.” The abstinence-based campaign was originally conceived by the Southern Baptist Church School Board and' has flourished to become a non-denominational program. Youth must be challenged to understand the facts about pre-marital sex and, armed with the truth, make wise sexual decisions, the youth group learned. Based on the biblical mandate of marriage before sex, the “True Love Waits” program encourages youth to sign commitment cards promising to remain “sexually pure” from that moment on. “Sexually pure” means practicing abstinence form the moment forward, offering those who have already been sexually active a second chance. Members of the Washington Baptist Youth Group took part in several presentations about the “True Love Waits” program and over ten youth signed cards and made a five-person promise (to God, their current date, their future mate, their future child, and themselves) to wait until marriage. On July 29 these commitment cards will be on display on the mall in Washington, D.C. It is hoped that over 500,000 will be sent in by that date. The youth group plans to take part in that display presentation and Christian concert that evening. Contemporary Christian artists Petra and DeGarmo and Key, among others, will take part in that concert. Washington Baptist Youth Group generally meets at Washington Baptist Church on Thursday evenings. It has become an interdenominational youth group which welcomes youth from the community.

RCES Field Day Brought Enthusiastic Competition II By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Field Day was held at Rappahannock County Elementary School last Friday, and it looked like a whole lot of fun. Events were scattered all over the school grounds, including wheelbarrow races on the hill leading up to the fields. Each child had a water bottle to cool off after some of the more rigorous events. There was kickball, hurdles, tugs-of-war, bat. races, egg tosses, and more. Field Day culminated with a tugof-war contest between the grades. Champions were: 3rd grade-Mrs. Williams’ class; 4th grade-Mrs. Wolfe’s class; 5th grade-Ms. Saxton’s class; 6th grade-Mrs. Maeyer’s class; 7th grade-Mr. Roszak’s class.

Adam Starks was second with 6:31; Adam Rogers at 6:43; Steven Torrance at 6:50; and Chad Heddleston at 7:05. Meghan Fairbrother’s time of ^;11 earned her first place for the girls. Jessie Gheen finished at 7:12; Candace Dennis at 8:02; and Jenny Waters at 8:07. Workshop Has Openings There are still some openings in Ki Theatre’s Summer Workshop for Youth called “Lights! Camera! Action!:Let’s Make Movies.” The one-week workshop planned for those 12 to 18. It will held at Blackwater Homestead, the home of Sid and Margaret Gottlieb. This lovely setting will allow the participants the opportunity to cool off in a pool mid hike along wooded trails. ST SS During the week participants will learn to make video movies. They will learn camera work, editing, acting, and directing. The workshop is being directed by Sharon Wyrrick and Robert Sherwood. Ms. Wyrrick directed Ki Theatre’s drama workshop last summer and served as artist in residence in the high school this part year. She has received grants in dance, film and video from the National Endowment for the Arts and the D.C. Commission for the Arts. Mr. Sherwood, also a Rappahannock County resident, received a MFA in film production from the University of Southern California. He has worked as a cameraman and editor creating film shorts and commercials. Joining them will be special guests, Matt Dibble, an independent video producer from Washington, D.C., who teaches at the Corcoran School and Washington Project for the Arts; Rob Farr, Executive Producer of Arlington County Cable TV, and Julie Portman, artistic director of Ki Theatre. Ms. Wyrrick said the fascinating part of video work is learning tricks to “create illusions” on the camera. “It’s easy to create environments, locations and dramatic situations, and it doesn’t take a big budget;” she said. “The fun challenge is coming up with ways you can do that.” The workshop runs from July 25 to 30 and costs $100. Some scholarship help is available. For further information call 675-1616. SCS Helps Design Ponds “Ponds can be useful in more than one way,” according to John Jeffries of the Soil Conservation Service. “Ponds are now serving a variety of purposes, including water for livestock and irrigation, fish production, field and orchard spraying, fire protection, wildlife habitat, debris basin, recreation and landscape improvement.” There are three major concerns to consider before building a pond. A good pond site contains: 1. A topography (lay of the land) that provides for economincal pond construction. 2. A water supply that provides adequate, but not excessive amounts of water. Ponds that are designed by SCS are based on a 25-year storm. The pipe size and spillway width are determined by a number of factors which include, soil type, drainage area, slope, vegetative cover, and length of drainage area. “A pond with an acre of pool area will cost between $8,000 and $12,000. This will vary depending on the site selection,” according to Jeffries. If you are thinking about building a pond or want information concerning this and other assistance available contact the SCS office at 825-4200. All SCS programs and services are offered on a non-discriminatory basis.

Yet, with this band’s tremendous aggregation of talent, it’s hardly surprising that what started as their “weekly card game” soon became a sustaining career. Now, over 20 years later, TTie “Seldom Scene” is widely acclaimed as “America’s greatest bluegrass band” (Cash Box). On mandolin is John Duffey, who has often been referred to as the “father of modern bluegrass music.” Over 30 years ago, John was an original member groundbreaking Country Gentlemen, and in 1971 he helped found ‘"hie Seldom Scene." Today he still sings with the astonishing range and power. Mike Auldridge is one of the two or three great Dobro players in the world. With his impeccable taste, drive, precision, and non-stop creativity, it’s easy to see why Mike’s bandmates address his as “Your Legendship.” Guitarist/lead singer Moondi Klein is originally from New York City. His first musical roots were planted at age seven in the Metropolitan Opera Children’s Chorus. At age fourteen Moondi was taken by his eccentric, artistic parents to the Carter family home in Hiltons, Virginia for a Bluegrass show where Moondi fell in love with the music, the DeoDle and the banio. Some of the most ei\joyable moments in a “Seldom Scene” concert are likely to occur when bary'o player Ben Eldridge gets that tickled-pink gleam in his eye, that possum grin on his face, hunches over his baryo, and sets eagerly forth to see if his brand new idea for the song at hand will actually work. Bassist T. Michael Coleman was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best instrumentalist. His smooth style perfectly complements the Scene’s gorgeous vocal blend and provides the drive and edge which keeps the band solidly on track. “The Seldom Scene” has succeeded by playing music on their own terms, breaking through the traditional boundaries of bluegrass and bringing a new legion of fans into the bluegrass arena.

This veer, these words came back to me...“lf you keep your ears open and your mouth closed, you may learn something.” as a youngster, it was disturbing when my father quietly said, “I will have to think about it.” I wanted an answer immediately. Even now, silence does not come easily to me, but I have learned that it is imperative to wait for an answer. Our Heavenly Father has instructed us to practice prayer and meditation. Yes, we are His children. We may ask for our heart’s desire, but we need to take equal time to listen for an answer...to meditate upon what our Father “thinks about it”. On Father’s Day, may we recognize fathers everywhere, and as we worship, let us make prayer and meditation a priority. What advice has your Father given you? Be still, keep an open heart, and think about it.

Salads Using Greens By HELEN W. SMITH Bxtemioii Agent, Home Economic* Nebuchadnezzar, who dined on grass in the Sixth Century, B.C., was the first salad eater on record. We don’t know what greens he dined on, but we know we have a large variety of greens and other good foods to make tasty salads. Salads have long been a central feature of summertime menus, primarily because they don’t require that our digestive systems work overtime. And for centuries, lettuce with oil and vinegar dressing has been known to effectively whet the appetite for meats. The great American tossed salad can contain almost anything from avacados to zucchini. One thing it must have is a crisp salad green. Greens HOME ECONOMICS should be handled properly in order to keep them crisp and fresh. A common fault of many salads is that the greens are not thoroughly DOOLEY 1 4 POOLS ■447*7207 dried after washing, and the accumulated moisture dilutes the dressing, rendering the salad tasteless and soggy. It is best to wash greens carefully well ahead of time. In the case of Boston lettuce, romaine, or chicory, the heads should be left intact during the washing and crisping process. Shade excess water off the greens, roll in several thicknesses of paper toweling or a dish towel, and place in a plastic bag. Crisp in the refrigerator as much as 12-24 hours ahead. Take care that the refrigerator temperature is not unusually low, for greens freeze easily and become translucent in appearance, wilted, and quite unusable. Also, be careful when breaking greens. Certain varieties, such as Boston lettuce, are extremely tender and bruise easily. If you are mixing greens for a salad, aim for a contrast in texture, color, and flavor. It takes only two or three greens to make a nice combination. i Sampler of Greens There are many new greens available in most supermarkets or seeds to grow your own in your garden. Here’s a description of several: Escarole - A broad-leaf cousin of curly endive, escarole has a pleasantly bitter flavor and a firm texture. Begian endive - The leaves are slightly bitter and pale green or yellow in color. Watercress - These peppery greens are often blended with lettuces for salads.

Oakleaf - A nut-flavored lettuce, oakleafs availablility is sporadic because the lettuce does not ship well. If not available in your market, it can often be ordered through the produce department. Curly endive - This thick bundle of greens has firm, curly leaves that add an interesting texture and tangy flavor to salads. Radicchio - Deep burgundy in color, radicchio adds a chewy texture and slightly bitter taste to salads. Radicchio grows in tight, round heads. Arugula - It has a pleasantly bitter, pungent flavor. Small, narrow leaves signal a young, tender plant. When preparing salads, be sure that the salad dressing doesn’t overwhelm the salad, especially if you’re using tender, delicate greens.

Keeping Small Fruits Virus-Free By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Virus diseases are one of the most serious disorders affecting small fruit crops. Although viral disorders in these plants have existed for many years, our knowledge in this area is relatively recent. We now know plant viruses are parasites. Some viruses attack a wide assortment of different plants, while others are very specific to a particular host plant. Viruses Cannot Be Controlled After Infecting Plant Viruses cannot be controlled by pesticide sprays, and once they have entered a plant, virtually nothing can be done to prevent or lessen the damage that will ultimately occur. In small fruit crops, viruses are mainly transmitted by sucking insects, particularly aphids and leafhoppers. Nematodes, commonly found in soil, also transmit viruses to small fruit crops by piercing and damage roots with their mouth parts. Grafting and budding of stock, for instance from virus-infected grapes to healthy grapes plants, will likewise result in transmission of the disease. Of course, if plants such as blueberries and strawberries are infected with viruses, any cuttings or runners taken from these plants and rooted will also be virus-infected. Visible symptoms may be evident causing suspicion of infection by a virus. Indeed, the names of many viral diseases such as mosaic, stunt, false blossom, leaf curl, dwarf streak, and ringspot are derived from the common appearances of infected plants. Yet, some types of virus damage such as loss of vigor, decrease in fruit set, reduction in fruit quality, and change in the normal pattern of ripening are more subtle viruses, and therefore, difficult to pinpoint. i Other Problems Have Same Symptoms s On the other hand, it should be recognized that many virus-like symptoms can be expressed by plants as a result of factors such as insect and mite damage, unfavorable weather, nutrient imbalance, air pollution, and herbicide spray damage. Control is primarily based on pervention of virus infection. The first line of control begins by purchasing high-quality, “registered” or “certified” plant material. These terms generally mean that the nurseries are producing plants free of any viruses. y The second line of control is focused on aphids and leafhoppers. This can be effectively done by adhering to a routine insecticide spraying schedule. Controlling nematodes in the soil can be accomplished by rotation of new plantings, as is commonly recommended in the case of strawberries. This practice effectively 1994 4-H Camps 4-H is providing several opportunities for a camping experience for youth during the summer of 1994. These include Rappahannock County 4-H Day Camp, Overnight Camp with Fauquier County and several special interest camps at the 4-H Center in Front Royal. 4-H Day Camp - The week of June 27-July 1 will be our 4-H Day Camp for children ages 6 to 12. A number of talented volunteer instructors will be teaching classes including fishing, creeks and critters, puppetry, painted T-shirts, arts and crafts, archery, learning through stamps, cooking, gardening, and others. The fee is $25. 4-H Overnight Camp with Fauquier County is the week of July 31Aug. 4. Rappahannock and Fauquier Counties will camp at the 4-H Center and provide a week-long camping experience for children ages 9-12 under the supervision of 4-H teen and adults leaders and Extension Agents. Scholarships — The Rappahannock County Farm Bureau contributions $500 each year to provide scholarship to local children to 4-H Day Camp and 4-H Overnight Camp. Please request a scholarship application form when you register for camp. > 4-H Special Interest Camps - The Northern Virginia 4-H Education Center, located near Front Royal, conducts a special interest camp each week during the summer in additional to the regular county camps held each week. “The specialinterest camps are conducted by the 4-H Center for children in all counties in Northern District,” stated Helen W. Smith, Extension Agent. For further information on the special interest camps, call the Extension office to request a brochure. For information on any of the camps, call 675-3619 or stop by the office on Gay Street. eliminates the host plants for a period sufficient to starve out the pests. In addition, eliminating weeds on which many nematodes also feed may be helpful in reducing nematode-transmitted viruses in the soil. If your plants begin to show symptoms which suggest disease or infection, it is wise to have a diagnosis made. Local Virginia Cooperative Extension Agents have information on procedures for submitting plant samples for diagnoses. Infected Plants Must Be Destroyed Should the samples be diagnosed as virus-infected, the plants must be dug and destroyed as soon as possible to prevent transmission of the disease to healthy plants. As the old saying goes-and ounce of prevent is worth a pound of cure. Talking precautions that reduce the incidence of viral infections in small fruit plantings will result in bountiful harvest for years to come.
