Library Board Debates Money and Storage By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The library finished the year technically in the red but with plenty of funds to cover the shortfall. At last Thursday’s Library - Board meeting Librarian Nicki Lynch reported that the Board of Supervisors had approved $27,900 in additional appropriations that had come in from grant funds. Even so, Treasurer Helen Platt said if she paid all the June bills, payments would exceed appropraitions by $221. However she said there was $2,000 in income plus some interest that had not been appropriated. The Library Board agreed to use $500 of those funds to pay the bills. Mrs. Lynch said she would have asked for the additional appropria tion if she had known of the need. Mrs. Platt said the bills had been running around $2,000 per month, but “In May checks jumped over $5,000.” , There were additional expenses because of a broken . window and computer problems, she said/Also Mrs. Lynch pointed out the board exceeded budget for salaries because one employee was given a 1 raise after the budget was approved and another hired using grant funds was kept on after the grant was used up. “We need to do better to get the board notified so spending does not exceed appropriations,” member \ John McCarthy said. The board agreed the finance committee should meet to work on better methods for handling library funds. “We need to track purchase requests and obligate funds when the jrequests are made,” member Frank Warner said. Roberta Anderson said the budget needs to more accurately anticipate normal upkeep and maintenance costs. Mrs. Lynch said Ed Barton, president of the Friends of the Rappahannock Library, reported he expected to have the matching funds for the Neighborhood Assistance Grants of $3,000 by the end of June. That program allows businesses to take a state tax credit for contributions. The funds must be used for building. Members agreed to check to see if this could be used for the antic ipated cost of paving the driveway and parking areas. The board agreed to seek volunteer labor from ah engineer to draw up specifications for the driveway paving. Mrs. Lynch also reported she would get together with representatives from the literacy volunteers to see about applying for funds from the Barbara Bush ' Foundation. Member Steve Slade said he would pick up an application when he was in Washington, D.C. Mrs. Lynch reported the Friends organization had about $3,000 available and wanted the board to make up a wish list. She said she wanted to request $150 to be matched with See Library, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins Fourth of July Schedule of Events 10 a.m.-Craft and food sale begin.

Jail Escapee Still At Large James Riley Williston, who escaped from the Rappahannock County Jail last week, is still at large. Major Ed Streapy of the Sheriffs Department said that warrants were issued on June 22 for Mr. Williston’s arrest. He is charged with burglary, petty larceny and two counts of grand larceny in connection with a break-in and theft of a car, camera equipment and cash, which occurred at Wakefield Coun try Day School on June 21. According to Major Ed Streapy, Mr. Williston contacted his mother in Maryland by telephone this past week and told her that he would be turning himself in to the Sheriffs Department on Tuesday. At press time, there was no indication that he had yet done so. He apparently escaped out the window of the jail’s kitchen, where he was working as a cook. Fireworks Can Cause Blindness Oooooooh, Aaaaaaah. They’re an' exciting, breathtaking part of an All-American holiday. But fireworks can made you see things differently. Fireworks blind, maim and kill more than 11,000 people each year. More than half of the injuries are to children. Fireworks not only injure users, but they also assault bystanders. Nearly 40 percent of fireworks injuries impact bystanders. The three types of fireworks that keep hospital emergency rooms busy during this holiday period are bottle rockets, firecrackers and sparklers. "Bottle rockets and firecrackers are miniature explosives,” notes Tim Gresham, Prevent Blindness Virginia Executive Director. "They can blow up in any direction. Sparklers burn at temperatures hot enough to melt gold. Giving these divices to young children could mean sentencing them to time in hospital emergency rooms.” One of the reasons fireworks injuries continue to occur is because people just don’t know how dangerous these devices can be. "Often they don’t realize, until they’re injured, that the risk of blindness or loss of life outweighs the excitement of watching fireworks explode,” said Gresham. Prevent Blindness Virginia wants everyone to understand the hazards fireworks pose to both life and sight. That’s why the Firewords Safety Test is being offered free to anyone who calls Prevent Blindness Virginia at 804-365-0773.

Town's July 4 Celebration Set for Monday By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer “Come celebrate our country’s 218th birthday all day in the Town of Washington with a great variety of activities and with a fantastic display of aerial fireworks in the evening,” William Carrigan said. For over 30 years Mr. Carrigan and his late wife extended cordial invitations to all the folks of Rappahannock County to come picnic with families on the hills around Avon Lake on the Fourth of July and experience patriotic songs, children’s foot races, and super fireworks. A few years ago Mr. Carrigan gave up providing the fireworks, and the Town of Washington assumed responsibility for them. The Washington Volunteer Fire Department is providing entertainment throughout the afternoon and evening, but Mr. Carrigan’s Avon Hall continues as the center of evening activities. Mr. Carrigan wants everyone in Rappahannock to know they are welcome to come again, bring their own picnic or purchase a chicken or pork barbecue dinner from the Fire Department and epjoy the evening entertainment culminating with fireworks. There is no charge for the entertainment, although there is a charge for parking to benefit RAWL, RAAC, and the Fire Department. Beverly Atkins is in charge of getting volunteers to help with parking during the day On two-hour shifts to raise money for these causes. Anyone willing to volunteer should call her at 675-3843. Activities get underway Monday morning at 10 a.m. when the craft and food sales begin in town and the Book Sale begins at the library. At noon a patriotic program begins on the Courthouse steps. There will be a sing-along and readings. “Following the old American tradition of mixing politics with pleasure, we are planning to have several politicians speak on the Fourth of July,” spokesman Ellen Manson said. Former Sen. Eugene McCarthy will be speaking on Senate elections generally and the upcoming Senate election in Virginia in particilar. Expect the usual McCarthy wit mixed with serious reflection on problems facing the nation and U.S. Senate. Representatives from Sen. Charles Robb’s campaign for reelection and Oliver North’s camSee Fourth, Page A-6 Rappahannock News File Photo/Cindy Mahan Fireworks will again illuminate the sky above Avon Lake.

Deputy In Auto Accident By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer While responding to a call in Washington Monday evening, Deputy Connie Compton of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department wrecked a car. She was going around the curve near the Exxon station in Sperryville, heading toward Washington. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, Ms. Compton’s car probably hydroplaned due to the heavy rain, and that caused the accident.1 He said that she lost control of the car in front of the Exxon station, did a 180 degree turn, and slid off the left hand side of the road into the culvert. She was not injured, and the car sustained about $500 damage to the passenger’s door and fender, he said. Edward J. Suchar, 74/56, $57/26. Dixie Lynn Swain, no county sticker, $25/26.

Museum Showcases County Heritage By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* StaffWriter “I want to get the young people to appreciate their heritage,” said Miss Ruby Jenkins, owner and tour guide for First Washington’s Museum on Main Street in Washington. That is just one of the reasons why Miss Jenkins began setting up her museum in the early 1970’s. Since then, she is proud to report, she has had visitors from all 50 states and 24 foreign countries. She and her museum have been written up in numerous publications, and Channel 7 News from Washington, D.C. included her in a story about Washington which aired in 1989. A video of this can also be seen in the museum. “I want to get the young people to appreciate their heritage.” —Ruby Jenkins She fondly remembers when a class from Wakefield School in Huntly visited her museum. The students took copious notes while she led them through the building, and were later given a written test by their teacher. Miss Jenkins reports that they did very well on that test, too. Miss Jenkins said that she started collecting when she was really young. She always had in mind to have a museum, and picked up interesting items whenever possible. Many objects were handed down in her family, culled from county auctions, or donated by friends. Everything in the museum is either from the town of Washington or elsewhere in Rappahannock County. The first room a visitor enters is Sled with all sorts of kitchen and housekeeping items. There are big old cast iron pots, the actual ones which were used for cooking when the museum was known as Clark Tavern in the late 1880’s. Dozens of sturdy kitchen tools, linens, and old cookbooks are displayed throughout the room, including a 150-year old red tablecloth, with no noticeable holes. A pie safe from 1750 stands in one of the comers, complete with three “rat holes,” where rats (or mice) ate away at the comers of the drawers to get inside. The following recipes are taken from the 1856 cookbook which was used by Mrs. Joseph Reid, who resided at Millwood in Woodville. Millwood is presently owned by the Darby family. Brunswick Stew Take two chickens or three or four squirrels and three or four ounces of fat bacon, and put them on the fire with about two gallons of water. Take then six or eight ears of com cut up, and a half dozen tomatoes, a half quart of butter beans, and one onion, chopped fine. Put them in with the chickens and let them all boU about half away. Then add about two quarts of boiled potatoes, a large spoonful of butter, a stale loaf of bread, and pepper and salt to your taste. Boil the whole, then simmer a little while. To Make Cherry Bounce Gather good ripe cherries and mash and squeeze the juice from them. Boil the juice a half hour taking off the scum as it rises. Sweeten to your taste while on the fire. When cool, flavor it with old mountain whiskey. The middle room is set up as a classroom, circa 1900. Miss Jenkins purchased the desks for 50 cents each from the county in 1960. Each desk is set up with an inkwell, chalk, slate and school books. Old photographs from schools now obsolete, including Rabbit Gum in Washington, the first school in the town of Washington, decorate the walls. The teacher’s bell sits quiet on the teacher’s desk. The last, and largest, room houses most of the written county history. Here is where proof can be found in the 1944 Congressional Record declaring that Washington, Virginia, is the oldest Washington of all, dating back to 1749. In the U.S., there are 28 towns and 31 counties One room is set up as a turn of the century classroom.

Normally we would add we are also extremely fortunate to live in Virginia, but this summer’s heat, the U.S. Senate campaign, and the ongoing battle over Disney’s America make us somewhat reluctant to make that statement. However, there is no doubt that we remain very fortunate to live in Rappahannock County. There is no more beautiful county in the state or nation, and there is none with finer people. , As we need to remain vigilant to preserve our freedoms, we also must remain vigilant to preserve the county’s beauty. The upcoming celebration of the Fourth of July in Washington is an example of how fine the county’s people are. This event would not be possible without hours of volunteer labor and generous financial contributions from individuals i and businesses. Of course the finale would not be possible without the willingness of William Carrigan over the years to host the fireworks. The existence and ongoing operation of the county library, Child Care and Learning Center, youth sports programs, scout and 4-H programs, fire and rescue squads, and artistic and church activities also depend on the spirit of volunteerism so evident in Rappahannock County, t. Let’s celebrate all of that Monday. -ITs SSfl# iPRCTRTMj ...AMP I GIVE THINKS POR mmxmb yjlUT M OXy^OQON IS..

The grant is from the Urban Assistance Incentive Fund, and the award was made upon the recommendation of an intergovernmental review committee of the Division of State Planning and Community Affairs, based on an application submitted this spring by county authorities. 10 YEARS AGO June 28,1984 • Industrial Development Bond (IDB) financing for an adults home in Harris Hollow died a slow, suspenseful death on June 21.

Please accept our gratitude to you for your generousity. May God richly bless you in your business ventures and as individuals. Auction Coordinator Amissville To the Editor Given the comparatively small size of our county administration, it is no surprise to note the many hats necessarily worn by those who serve us. But I was reminded of this on Saturday, June 25, when our church rented the pavilion at the county park for the day. When we discovered the men's room toilet was backed up we reported it, but without anticipation of its remedy. Not only was the toilet JUDY J. CHANDLER Methodist Church Toilet s fixed, but County Administrator John McCarthy was the one who performed this thankless task. I just wanted John to know that we appreciated his efforts, in the many ways he serves the needs of the county, and that I want others to know about it as well. DARRELL BARE, Pastor I Washington Baptist Church ; t » l ' Non-Resident Landowners Suffer Taxation Without Representation By LARRY A. JENSEN Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer We will soon celebrate our nation’s independence. We fought to be free of British rule primarily because of taxes. We said we should not be taxed without having representation on the body imposing the taxes. We won, are independent, and no longer suffer taxation without representation—or so many think and the politicians would have us believe. Wrong! I have paid real estate taxes to Rappahannock County since 1968 when I first bought land in the county. And since 1986, when I bought an adjoining property, I have paid $12,497 ifi taxes. Yet I am forbidden from voting in the county for the supervisor of my district. Am I not being taxed without representation? Oh, that is for “services” I receive from the county government. If I recall correctly, the biggest expense the county has is the school system. Could I have sent my children to the county schools as if I was a county resident? Perhaps, but that is hardly practical. So I ask Col. Bingham, who is getting the free ride? I Will look like an “outside investor” if you look in the county records. However, it is my intent and hope to become a resident some day, after retiring. But, I am feeling uneasy about some of the things I read in the Rappahannock News about growth and taxes. I have often thought I should have written a letter to the editor titled “Welcome Rappahannock County to the Washington, D.C. Metro Area,” but that should have been at least 25 years ago. And a letter titled “Lookout Rappahannock County, You Are About To Get ‘Fairfaxed’” should have been written at least 10 years ago. What I mean by those titles is that the time when someone could buy land in the county to start farming has long gone past. The land costs too much because of the growth pressure of the metro area. Someone cannot buy land to use for a traditional farm and have it earn enough to pay the mortgage. Eventually, the real estate taxes will drive most, if not all, the farmers off their land, just as they did in Fairfax County years ago and as they are doing now in counties adjacent to Fairfax County. It seems that the whole thrust in the Tax debate going on in the United States for the last lot of years is to get someone else to pay through taxes for the services that you want. It almost amounts to legal robbery. That is a very strong way to view the cry to eliminate “land use” taxes, but look at my situation. If I was unable to take advantage of having my land in “land use,” my 1993 tax bill would have gone from $1,728 to $5,705. And for that $3,977, would I have gotten a nickel’s worth more in county services? No! I would be a lot of money ahead if I could be billed directly for only those few services that I use or am allowed to use. And would I be allowed to vote for my district supervisor so I would have some say in how my money was spent? No. Folks, I cannot afford that kind of tax rate, and I know that many of the farmers in the couty cannot either! So, ask yourself if you want to keep the county as it is for as long as possible, or do you want to be ^ p ^ Si i. Opinion “Fairfaxed” and pay Fairfax style taxes for all the additional services that will be necessary? Without “land use” if I were retired, I would have to subdivide and sell off some of my land to keep the rest. At that point, I am not sure that I would want to stay. It might be better to divide up all my land, sell it and go to some place else, and let those of you left pay for the new schools and so forth. I hope that you opt for keeping Rappahannock County as rural as possible. May I suggest that the emphasis be put on the “use” in the “land use” program. In my case, that means I have to show that I am renting my land to someone who is actively engaged in farming as his occupation, which I am doing. That encourages us outside investors” to rent our land to the farmers of the area, increases the productive land available to the local farmers, and (I would hope) increases their income to encourage them to continue farming. The United States is going to have to find a better way to fund local governments than the current real estate tax system does. Real estate taxes as a major source of income for the local governments made sense years ago. Then we were an agrarian society where almost all the wealthy people were farmers who owned large farms. Then there was almost a direct relation between wealth and the amount of land owned. It made sense to use real estate (land) as the basis for taxation. Now, based upon income—not net worth—all of the wealthy are in businesses, banking or other urban occupations. You would have to go a long way down from the top income in the country before you would find someone we would consider a farmer. Taxing gas, tires and so forth to pay for roads makes sense. Taxing the woods and pastures to pay for schools does not. But, do not expect the politicians to follow this suggestion when they depend upon “bribing'’ the electorate with “services” which they get someone else to pay for! To quote Pogo of the comics, “We have met the enemy, and he is us!” In closing I think: That it seems almost unAmencan to be taxed without being allowed to be represented on the taxing body. It is wrong to think of nonresident property owners as “free riding” on the residents of the county, as if they are getting rich as the expense of the residents by taking advantage of the “land use” program, especially when you consider the county “services” that they are allowed to use as nonresidents. There should be a stronger relationship between taxes and “services” than there is now. Real estate taxes should not be the primary source of funds for local governments, but it is unlikely that the politicians can make significant changes in the current system of taxation. Editor’s note: Mr. Jensen is currently a resident of Annandale, hoping one day to be a Flint Hill resident.

RAA All Stars Place Third In Tournament ! By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer | The Rappahannock Athletic Association All-Star 11 and 12-year old team placed third in the six-team District 5 Tournament at Stuart Field last weekend. ; The team defeated Greene Gounty Thursday evening and Orange County Friday before bowing to Madison and Orange Saturday in the double elimination tournament. ; Madison went on to win the tournament over Orange Sunday for the championship with a score of 9-2. The RAA team, made up mostly of players from Rappahannock County, but also some from the Amissville end of Culpeper County, had a loyal following which led the stands in cheers and chants. Tony Hoffman, coach of the team said, “I think they did an outstanding job. They played together as a team.” Alex Baumgardner, Chris Sealock, Chris T\imer and Michael Kocenski led the team at the plate. Alex had three home runs in the tournament, one Thursday and two Friday. Both Chrises and Michael hit for extra bases. On the pitcher’s mound Chris Sealock started the first game and pitched six innings striking out seven batters. The first inning was scoreless. Greene got a run in the second inning, but the RAA squad came back with a single by pitcher Chris Sealock followed by the first of AlexBaumgardner’s home runs to end the inning with the 2-1 lead. The lead held through the third inning, and then in the bottom of the fourth Michael Kowcenski got a triple and scored on a hit by David Gough to give the team a 3-1 lead. At the top of the sixth inning Greene tied the score 3-3, and the inning ended with the score tied, so the game went into extra innings, i Because Babe Ruth rules do not allow a pitcher to pitch more than six innings, Michael Kowcenski entered the game in relief. Greene was held scoreless in the top of the seventh in ning, and then in the bottom of the inning RAA’s catcher Eddie Putnam beat out a bunt along the first base line. Chris Turner hit a double, putting runners on second and third, and a hit by Brandon Gue scored Eddie from third for the winning run in the 4-3 victory. On the other field two Charlottesville area teams were playing. Peachtree defeated Northside 10 to 3. Friday’s play brought in the two teams that had byes the first day, Orange and Madison. At noon Rappahannock faced Orange and Peachtree faced Madison. RAA took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first on a hit by Chris Turner and a double by Chris Sealock. Michael Kowcenski was on the mound. He gave up a couple of walks and a hit and the inning ended with the score tied 1-1. At the top of the second Alex Baumgardner hit the second of his three home runs giving RAA a 2-1 lead. The score remained the same through the fourth inning. Brad Ball came in in relief in the top of the fourth inning. In the top of the fifth inning RAA got two more runs on a double by Chris Turner and hits by Brandon Gue and Chris Sealock. Orange came back in the bottom of the fifth inning. Michael Kowcenski returned to the mound, and when the inning ended RAA had a 4-3 lead. Alen Baumgardner got his second home run in the top of the sixth to put RAA ahead 5-3, which was the final score. On the other diamond Madison defeated Peachtree 16-4. Later that day Orange defeated Northside 11-3 and Peachtree defeated Greene 14-9. Friday’s game against Madison got off to a poor start. The larger Madison players seemed to intimidate both players and fans. Madison got a 4-0 lead in the first inning on two errant throws by the RAA team, and RAA never got back in the ball game losing 11-1 in a game shortened by the slaughter rule.

With Chris Turner pitching, Orange got a one run lead in the bottom of the first inning. The Orange squad added another run to its score in the bottom of the third. In the top of the fourth inning Alex Baumgardner got a single and managed to score on a couple of “fielder’s choice” plays to finish the inning with RAA down 2-1. That was the end of the good news, however, as Orange got four more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and won 6-1. Mr. O’Neill said older and younger RAA players will be competing in away tournaments later in the month. With the season drawing to a close, he thanked the team sponsors for their help. “Marie Reynolds has done an outstanding job” with i Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 10 a.m., Every Month the concession stand, he said.

Currently the authority has one ftiU-time plant operator, who also oversees operation of the school sewage systems, and two part-time operators who cover on weekends and when the operator is sick or on vacation. In addition the authority contracts for help in keeping the tanks and lines in the system working. In past years the plant operator also pumped tanks of the systems customers and put the septage in the plant, but that has not been done recently. This past winter WSA members decided to have septage from the tanks in the system taken to a treatment plant in Remington. The WSA owns a truck that can be used for pumping. The new full-time employee will be responsible for that pumping and hauling, be trained as a plant operator to cover on weekends and also see to regular maintenance of the tanks and lines.

At last week’s meeting the WSA members also voted to reserve a hookup for Huey Atkins to build a house, to write to building official Richie Burke that seven and a half EDU8 are reserved for Brian Ross’s store to be built next to High on the Hog, and that Tom Von Fange has two EDUs that already belonged to the old Tee Pee property for his cabinet-making shop to be built there. EDU stands for Equivalent to Dwelling Unit. It is the basis for charging for using the sewer system. Normal residences are charged one EDU. Commercial establishments are charged more, and the number of EDUs depends on factors like highway frontage, number of employees and expected water use. Members agreed to consult with an attorney about what procedures they need to follow to order the sale of a property whose owner has not paid sewer bills for three years.

She said she also hoped to get a 14,000 baud modem that would cost about $150. She said she would work on further requests. The board spent much time discussing what to do about the bodes and other items stored in the basement. Many books come in daily donated to the library. Chairman William Young reported that boxes of books are piled on top of each other in the basement. The library gets many books that go into the collection from these donated books. Others are sold by the Friends at the semi-annual bode sales. n . At an earner meeting Mr. Warner suggested the library consider putting up a prefabricated building in back of the library for storage, and most members rejected this idea. This time most members were open to the idea but concerned about appearance and cost. Mr. Warner estimated it would cost between $10,000 and $12,000 for a 24 by 30 foot building. The board agreed to reevaluate the situation after the Fourth of July book sale. The board also instructed Mrs. Lynch to do preliminary work on a five-year plan to include building including storage, finance and services. Mrs. Lynch said she wanted to survey patrons as part of the process. .i As members were meeting work was begun to upgrade telephone lines in the building.

Beef Prices Drop for Farmers But Store Costs Still High ' . if Wholesale beef prices have dropped 15 percent in the past six months, but the price of beef in the supermarket has remained about the same. 4 That puts Virginia cattlemen in a price squeeze. “There’s always a lag between live cattle prices and what the consumer is paying for beef, but (this difference) surely has not been reflected yet in the grocery store,” said Reggie Reynolds, executive secretary of the Virginia Cattleman’s Association. An oversupply of beef in the production chain has pushed market prices for beef down to the $60 per hundredweight range, but break even prices for cattle feeders are about $80 per hundredweight. Many feeders are losing up to $200 per head, which means prices will be cut when Virginia cattle are sold at auction this fall. To ease the record $1.42 per pound price difference between wholesale and retail beef prices, the American Farm Bureau Federation is urging 30 of the nation’s top grocery chains to lower their beef prices as “quickly as possible,” said C. Wayne Ashworth, president of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation. Norwegian Boy, 17, interested in computers and tennis.

• Community News • Obituaries • Real Estate • Classifieds By PAULA STAFFORD Rappahannock Newa Contributing Writer Hospice patients and families share an experience that transcends the differences in their economic circumstances, their social statuses, their religious affiliations. They come together when a time of crisis becomes a time of opportunities—when offerings of support, comfort and strength can focus a lifetime’s care and love. Nothing is as it was: children parent their parents, husbands nurse their wives, time seems to stand still, and days and nights become indistinguishable. There are tears, of course; someone loved is dying. And there is laughter along with moments of profound reflection and joy. The timeds found to say all that needs to be saia> and to hold hands saying nothing at all. Each Hopsice family is unique, an each faces its very own challenges. What they have in common with each other and with Hospice of the Rapidan is the commitment to providing the best care possible. Hospice staff members often feel a deep sense of privilege in carrying out this work. The “Mission Statement” says it well: “Hospice of the Rapidan provides professional and volunteer medical care and support services for individuals with a limited life ex pectancy. Services are offered in home and inpatient settings, and without regani for patients’ ability to pay. "Hospice is committed to the // ) “Hospice is committed to the physical, psychological, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing of its ^patientSvlheir families, and their friends.” Mission Statement physical, psychological, emotional, social and spiritual well-being of its patients, their families, and their Mends. Respect for quality of life and death, the family’s participation in the patient’s care, and assistance in bereavement are intrinsic to the Hospice program. It is recognized that dying is natural to life, and Hospice fosters comfort, dignity, and loving support in the experience of transition.” Two Rappahannock County residents served by Hospice are Ms. Julia Leahy and Mr. Charles Hitt. Charlie Hitt owned and operated a sawmill in the County from 1948 until he retired in 1970s. His son Jim continues to run the mill. Charlie’s abode is far from gloomy as the frail but clear-eyed eighty-four-year-old welcomes visitors from his wheelchair. Daughters-in-law Shirley and Terry Hitt care for Charlie in the home of Shirley and her husband. “We probably couldn’t have done this (provide home care) without Hospice,” says Shirley Hitt. Brenda Welch is the Hospice registered nurse working with the Hitts. When she arrives she leans down to give “Grandad” a kiss on his cheek. It is clear to the observer that she cares about her patients personally as well as professionally. “Unlike in a hospital or nursing home environment where nurses are not encouraged to become emotionally involved, I am very attached to my patients. It is hard sometimes, but we go through it together,” she says. Charlie “Grandad” Hitt received a visit from Hospice Nurse Brenda Welch.

Of the 3,398 ballots cast, 1,997 voters or 58.8 percent of eligible ballots support a $1.50 assessment on the Coggins Test, a test for Equine Infectious Anemia which is required for all horses in Virginia. The horse referendum was conducted over the past several months as directed by the Virginia Horse Industry Board Act of 1993. The names of approximately 18,000 eligible voters were drawn from those who paid for 44,000 Coggins Tests during the fiscal year 1992-93. The referendum was conducted by the accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick of Richmond and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The $1.50 assessment on Coggins Tests will be collected by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and will be placed in the Virginia Horse Industry Promotion and Development Fund which will be administered by the Virginia Horse Industry Board. As defined by the 1993 legislation, the Board will be comprised of 12 members including the presidents of the Virginia Horse Council, the Virginia Thoroughbred Association, the Virginia Horse Shows Association and the Virginia Quarter Horse Association (the four associations which sponsored the referendum legislation); the Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; the extension horse specialist from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. In addition, six board members will be appointed by the Governor including four members from other statewide breed or use associations; a representative of the horse industry supply service or professional community (feed manufacturing or sales, pharmaceutical sale, horseshoeing, veterinary services, etc.); and a representative commercially involved in the industry such as a manager or trainer. I , Photos courtesy of Hospice of the RapkUn Nurse's Aide Shirley Brown gave Julia Leahy a manicure which both apparently enjoyed. “You have to care to do it well. I wouldn’t trade this job for anything.” Several years earlier, Charlie’s other cargiver Terry Hitt lost her mother to cancer. “She stayed with me and my husband while she was sick. They when she went to the hospital, she didn’t want me out of her sight. I wish I’d known about Hospice a couple of years ago.” Terry speaks quietly as she watches the nurse talk with Charlie. “I have worked in a nursing home, and families just seem to forget about them,” Terry says. A few miles from the Hitt family residence is the home of Virgie Sanders who cared for her sister Julia Leahy with the help of Hospice of the Rapidan until Ms. Leahy’s death Sunday. The pair bubbled over with enthusiasm and their eyes sparkled, though Julia tired more easily in her last days. Ms. Leahy retired after twentyfive years of service at the Naval Exchange office at Bethesda Naval Hospital, and she lived with her sister for the past six years. She had been in the Hospice program for three months. Wherever they lived, Dotn sisters contributed significantly as volunteers in community programs such as the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, Rockville Senior Center and the “Eager Beavers” of the VDOT roadside beautification project. Their home was a testament to lives lived well, with photographs of grandchildren and handmade dolls lovingly given places of honor. They were enthusiastic about life, and about what Hospice offered them. “I never realized how much you guys do,” marveled Virgie to Brenda. Julia agreed: “I feel like they take so much responsibility off your shoulders.” Each of them over the years assisted in caring for people with a limited life expectany. “You don’t know how much hospice care means until you are on the other side,” mused Virgie. They were still caring for others. A collection of handmade wooden giraffes waited on a table for the local fire hall bazaar. Virgie pressed Brenda to take a giraffe, but the nurse hesitated. “Go on, take one. I’m going to make more, anyway.” »• Such is the give-and-take of the Hospice staff and patient relationship. Virgie says of Brenda, “It always seems that she’s aglow. She brings a “Unlike in a hospital or nursing home environment where nurses are not encouraged to become emotionally involved, I am very attached to my patients. It is hard sometimes, but we go through it together.” —Brenda Welch lot of energy with her.” ' Julia Leahy quietly slipped into a coma on Saturday. On Sunday she died peacefully at home surrounded by her family. “This was how Julia wanted her life to end. She died in the same manner she had lived her life, quietly and with dignity,” Hospice Nurse, Brenda Welch said. Jean Falk Morgan, executive director of the Hospice of the Rapidan said, “We were very fortunate to meet such a fine lady and share in this most precious time of life with her. She was a compassionate woman who had devoted much of her life to the service of others. In Hospice we often have the opportunity to witness the special love and devotion others share. Virgie and Julia, close sisters, demonstrated a very special kind of love and support for one another. They shared their last days together with compassion and devotion. They are a true testimony to the power of love.” Hospice of the Rapidan provides much more than top quality medical staffing. They coordinate the care program with the patient’s primary physician and update changes in medication, often thereby saving on office visits. Hospice never bills a family for its services. Hospice of the Rapidance serves five counties—Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock. Last year, the Hospice professional staff logged 69,288 miles in performing their duties. Despite the time involved, and the time spent with patients and on updating their care programs, the Hospice staff is equally devoted to the emotional needs of patient families. The nurses, social workers, and volunteers provide comforting emotional support for everyone involved. Because the family and others play a key role in patient caregiving, supporting them is a vital part of the Hospice equation, too. Ms. Falk Morgan says that Hospice can made a significant difference in the months before a patient dies. Still, she says, “We receive referrals on many patients who have only a few days, or even hours, to live. We are glad to be there for them, but we would like to encourage people to take advantage of our services earlier. Ideally, Hospice is involved for many months. We honor this meaningful time of life and are dedicated to helping people live in comfort while maintaining control and dignity in their life. Hospice helps make each day count.” For more information about Hospice of the Rapidan call 825-4840.

Yet, in all the years since 1776, there has been only one Civil War fought on our soil. Our United States, though relatively young, is nevertheless a nation wholly dedicated to the preservation of peace and freedom. As we celebrate our two hundred eighteenth birthday, as the drama of festive fireworks and the “Star Spangled Banner” ring in our ears, may we yet hear this historic echo, the foundation upon which our nation was built...“aod for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance upon the protection gf Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor.” Scriptures Selected by The American Bible Society Copyright 1994.

I’m sure i’ll spot each weakness When the sand is running low, And so today I’ll ask myself The things I’ll someday know. Have I lived each day with gladness, And lent a helping hand? Have I paused each day for guidance, y And labored as He planned? Have I labored to my full extent, Helped the weak and poor? Have I turned away a single soul Who knocked upon my door? The things I’ve done and do today In memory’s chest I’ll keep, And when I go and my maker I meet "Will I rejoice, or will I weep?

Champions Named Jennifer Tomeden, who attends George Mason University, and her i debate partner, Dan Winthrop, were recently named the 1993 National Champions-Novice in junior varsity debate. The George Mason University debate team also finished number one. GMU dosed the debate season on March 20 at the National Debate Tournament in Kentucky, edging out Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Dartmouth and Boston College to become the number one debate team in the nation. Jennifer Tomeden, a junior varsity team member, joined the debate team because she was interested in researching and learning before she joined the team. “I fell in love with the research,” Tomeden said. UI learned so much more in (debate) than in school.” Debaters prepare to argue both sides of a theme of debate for the season. This year’s topic was whether or not the President of the United States’ power as commander-in-chief should be. Debaters log in at least 40 hours a week practicing and researching during the academic year. Jennifer lives in Flint Hill, and is the daughter of Karan Rodgers.
