TB was detected in a Floyd County herd, which has since been destroyed. It is possible the state can regain its TB-free status by fall. In the meantime the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services this “may” mean that any Virginia cattle shipped to other states must be tested individually for TB unless they originate from a herd that itself has been tested and accredited as TB-free. Cattle shipped for slaughter will probably not be affected, but those shipped as feeder cattle to be finished in another state may be, and those shipped as breeding cattle almost certainly will be. load Burdick, a veterinarian who has recently sold his practice, said to test cattle the animal is injected and the veterinarian must return 72 hours later to see if there is a reaction. If there is, it may mean the animal is infected, but a further test is performed. “It will force producers to plan ahead for interstate transport,” Dr. Burdick said. He estimated the cost for veterinarian services at about $5 per head. Robert Anderson who has a herd of purebred Angus said he already frequently has his animals tested before they are shipped out of state. He said he may seek to have his herd declared TB-free. He added he thought it might have more effect on farmers who produce feeder cattle. “It’s bad for the cattle industry, « but I don’t think it’s a bombshell,” he said. He said he is more affected by current low prices for beef. He said that it is ironic that the whole state has lost its TB-free status because of a problem in Floyd County. That county is closer to fl North Carolina and Tennessee than most of Virginia, he pointed out. The USDA does such things by state, he noted, but the disease doesn’t respect state lines. Mike Massie, who produces feeder cattle that are shipped all over the country said the true cost of having all his animals tested would be much greater than the $5 per ■ See TB, Page A-6 Camping V Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Jacob Stilley used a sieve to catch animal and plant life from the pond at Natural History Day Camp last week.

Baldwins To Open New Store By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Paul and Cucie Baldwin, owners of Baldwin’s Store on Business 211 in Washington, are planning to build a new store with gas pumps outside of Washington. It will be located on U.S. 522-211 next to the Rappahannock Fanners’ Co-op. Construction is due to begin this month and should be completed by late fall. According to Mr. Baldwin, the business might be named “211 Quicke Mart” and will be similar in size to the Q-Stop at Clevenger’s Comer, the intersection of U.S. 211 and 229 in Culpeper County. The store will be open 24 hours a day, and will offer three fuel islands. The Baldwins also plan to have a deli counter, with sandwiches, salads and other fast foods. Mr. Baldwin said, “When you walk inside, everything will be at your fingertips. If you get up in the middle of the night and need something, you can go to 211 Quicke Mart, and even get a pizza. ” The building itself will be constructed of brick, and the area will be heavily landscaped. There will be parking out in front of the building and off to the sides. A picnic area and park are proposed for the east end of the property. In the future the store may have booth seating for eating, but at first food will only be served as carry out, Mr. Baldwin said. Mr. Baldwin said the store will be similar to a 7-11. “I think this will benefit the county because we are trying to court tourism,” he said. The Baldwins do not plan to close the current store. They will operate two stores in the area. The proposed store will not require a rezoning, since it will be built on property that is already zoned commercial, but to get site approval, the Baldwins had to agree that they will relocate the entrance to the business directly across from the cross-over to the School Board office and elementary school when that becomes possible. C & P Telephone equipment is currently located where the driveway would need to be. It would be unreasonably expensive to expect the Baldwins to pay to move that equipment, but when C & P is ready to upgrade the equipment, it will be moved, and the Baldwins will be responsible for relocating the driveway, County Administrator John McCarthy said recently. Representatives Seek Votes for Their Candidates By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New» Staff Writer Representatives of three of the four candidates for the U.S. Senate came to Washington for the Fourth of July celebration to speak on behalf of their candidates. In general the crowd gathered on the Courthouse lawn did not act very interested in hearing political speeches, but Lucinda Robb speaking on behalf of her father incumbent Democratic Sen. Charles Robb seemed to get the best response. Miss Robb said she could not speak for her father, but she could tell about him. She said she sees him when he’s tired “and off guard.” She said he had taught them to always “do the right thing. Give everyone a fair chance; expect the best from them and do the best yourself. When there is no applause, you can’t quit.” She said he said they should “stick to your own beliefs. You have to have convictions. Don’t run away from a fight and conduct yourself with honor and pride. ” She said a “reason to vote for him is he’s a hard worker who does his homework and has command of the details.” She said once her father was having root canal work done when he got buzzed to report for a vote. But instead of a vote there was a filibuster because something completely unrelated had been added to the bill as an amendment. She said other senators realized that he was in pain and waiting to vote. The amendment was dropped from the bill so the vote could be held. She said that indicates the respect his colleagues have for Sen. Robb and that he realizes to get anything done in the U.S. Senate it’s . 4 necessary te work with the other senators. She said her father had been able to gdt a lot of things done in the Senate because he does not insist on getting credit for them and always getting his way. She said she works at the National Archives and has seen the many drafts of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. “Our ancestors didn’t agree on everything, but they stayed and worked together. That’s the kind of people we need today,” she said. Earlier Brig. Gen. Charles E. Jones, retired, spoke on behalf of Oliver North, Republican candidate for the senate seat. He spoke of the importance of Independence Day. “It keeps alive the memory of the men and women who took a desperate chance in 1776 and won American independence,” he said. He said, “The bottom line is that we must elect representatives in the House and Senate, and yes the White House, who have their heads screwed on properly.” He said that in his years in the military he had worked with many military officers and “Ollie North is in the top 1 percent of all I have known. His character is impeccable. He is extremely intelligent; he knows in depth the issues and problems facing our country. He is probably the best public speaker within a 500-mile radius of Washington, D.C. He is a top notch leader, a conservative team player and a man of the people.” He said, “He did not lie to Congress, and he was convicted of absolutely nothing.” See Senate, Page A-6 Bluegrass Sound Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan John Duffey and Moondi Klein of the Seldom Scene performed Monday evening in front of Avon Lake.

Police Limit • Accident Investigations Col. M. Wayne Huggins, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police announced that beginning Aug. 1 state troopers will no longer routinely investigate motor vehicles crashes that result in less than $1,000 in property damage unless the crashes involve personal injury, death or hit-and-run. He emphasized that troopers will not be prohibited from investigating any crash if, in their judgment, they feel circumstances warrant it. He also said that troopers may issue summonses or make arrests, such as driving without a license, without investigating a crash. “Section 46.2-373 of the Code of Virginia was amended in 1992,” said Col. Huggins, “to increase from $750 to $1,000 the amount of property damage necessary for a crash to be considered ‘reportable’ from a law enforcement perspective. This statute gives law enforcement agencies discretion in determining those relatively minor crashes that can be settled between the parties involved with the exchange of information such as names, addresses, insurance companies, and other pertinent information.” He said that troopers will provide drivers at the scene of a crash with forms indicating the information to be exchanged. May law enforcement agencies across the state already have discontinued the practice of investigating crashes in which there is no personal injury of death and when property damage is less than $1,000. “We believe this decision will significantly enhance our ability to serve Virginia citizens,” said Huggins, “in that it will save a considerable^ amount of the time troopers previously spent investigating these crashes and submitting required but unneeded paperwork. By permitting troopers to return much sooner to their enfrocement duties, they can give more attention to serious highway safey offenses such as speeding, drinking and driving, and other hazardous violations.” Motorists also should benefit, he said, by experiencing fewer backups and shorter delays. In 1993, there were 875 persons killed on Virginia’s highways, 77,852 person injured and 120,265 traffic crashes reported. The Department of State Police investigated 37,975 crashes and more than 20,000 of these were non-reportable crashes.

New Assistant Principal Is on the Job Jackson Raines Susan McCarthy Joins United Way Board and CCLC Gets Funding Susan McCarthy of Washington joined the Piedmont United Way Board of Directors. Mrs. McCarthy is the first board member from Rappahannock County. At the new board’s first meeting allocations were made from funds raised in last fall’s campaign. For the first time the Child Care and Learning Center and the Shenandoah Area Boy Scout Council, which serves Boy Scouts in Rappahannock County, were added to the list of agencies receiving Piedmont United Way funds. BZA Approves Variance By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer 1 The Board of Zoning Appeals granted a variance for a garage for Roy Jenkins last month. Mr. Jenkins plans to build a 24 x 24 foot garage in his back yard in Sperryville. He resides on U.S. 211. Mr. Jenkins claimed that he wants to build the garage 13 feet away from the adjoining property, which belongs to Mr. Scott McBride. Mr. McBride does not oppose this. The normal setback is 20 feet. If Mr. Jenkins placed the garage 20 feet away from the boundary, it would end up right in the middle of his yard, basically eliminating the back yard. If placed on another portion of his yard, it would block signals for his satellite dish. After much discussion, BZA members decided that this was a hardship case, and they would allowed him a setback of up to 15 feet, as long as the height of the garage did not exceed 15 feet. BZA member Jimmy Swindler said, “My judgement is that it is a hardship because to meet the setbacks he would have to put the garage right smack in the center of the yard.

Special rates to Washington ec Spenyville WISE CONTAINER SERVICE 703-547-2918 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer High school assistant principal Jackson Raines started work Friday, but he said he felt immediately at home. , ■ Actually he said he felt at home when he first visited the county before interviewing for the job. He graduated from Montevideo High School in the Shenandoah Valley and returned there as a teacher and coach after he graduated from Virginia Tech in 1969. He taught Industrial Cooperative Training, a program in which students attend school for half a day and work at various jobs for the other half of the day. As the ICT teacher he had the job of finding jobs for the students and working with their employers to see that they were doing satisfactory work on the job and completing requirements for graduation. He also coached football and baseball and reports he had winning teams. He stayed at Montevideo for 11 years, and then the school was merged with Elkton High to form Spottswood High. He taught and coached at the much larger school for another 10 years, but it wasn’t the same. “At Montevideo I knew all of the kids,” he said. “Spotswood never had the same feeling.” In the meantime he had gotten a masters degree in educational administration from James Madison University in 1977, and in 1990 he decided to take on the responsibility of being director of the Harrisonburg campus of the National Business College. “I had had enough of coaching and I wanted to get administrative experience,” he said. He did a little of everything, from tightening legs on desks, to counseling students to hiring and evaluating faculty. The center of the National Business College is in Roanoke. Harrisonburg is the site of one of eight branches in Virginia. There are another eight branches in Kentucky and Tennessee. There are about 100 students at the Harrisonburg campus when day and night students are combined. When Mr. Raines learned of the opening for an assistant principal in Rappahannock, he visited. Just walking in the halls was “like a flashback,” he said. “It’s smaller, rural, in a fantastic location. It was like going back to Montevideo. ” 1 As assistant principal, Mr.// Raines will also be the school’s athletic director. The school administration has had problems finding coaches for high school sports. With his sports background, the administration hopes he can help with that. “We’re going to try to find the best available coaches we can that work well with kids,” he said. He added that he hopes to get more students participating in sports. “The more people we can get involved, the better,” he added.

The Audit Bureau / ' WEDNESDAY, JULY 6,1994 Editorial Editorial Platform , 1 ■ ii “Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe” I — Thomas Jefferson The Rappahannock News believes several fundamental issues are of special importance to the character and heritage of Rappahannock County, and takes these consistent editorial positions on them. 1) Growth and development must be planned and controlled through strong, clear and fairly enforced zoning regulations sensitive to Rappahannock’s character, quiet beauty, and the quality of life of its people. Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. 2) Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated because education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3) New business and clean industry should be sought to provide new employment opportunities for our residents and their children. But economic expansion should not come at the expense of our clean air and water. These are far more important than a larger tax base. Tourism and the business that supports it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. 4) Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent county, should be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strength and spirit of the county’s heritage. 5) Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and actively investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials. , BRAKePHI [R’R ToORlSTSJ| ifta.PPAH/' liter Baccalaureat Thoughts To the Editor I was delighted a few weeks ago to receive a letter from Sherri Thomas on behalf of the RCHS Senior Class and Bible Club inviting me to attend the Baccalaureat Service. It was a lovely service and I was moved by the heart-felt profession of faith given by my friend Jon Heddleston. Since the event, however, I have been pondering the delicate and complex issues which are raised by such a service, for it brings into tension two fundamental principles of American life: the freedom to worship as we choose, and a separation of church and state. Because attendance at the service was purely voluntary, the school believes it was within the law. And Yet I wonder if, in spirit, it did not nevertheless break this last principle which holds that the State must neither establish, nor seem to establish a state religion. Another way to ask this question is this: What is the responsibility of a Christian pastor towards religious / minorities—even tiny minorities— when he is preaching in public space. It is true that no senior had to come. But what senior would want to miss this shared moment of worship with his or her fellow students; or the lovely ritual of passing candle light from senior to junior ad the torch is passed from one class to the next. i Surely this event is an important part of the graduation experience. It took place in the public school. Jon, the guest speaker, is the faculty adviser to the school’s Bible Club. To me, all this places the event within public space. When pastors speak in public space, shouldn’t we strive to avoid exclusiveness by translating our religious beliefs into an idiom that can be shared by those of other faiths? RABBI CARLA THEODORE Woodville Taxes and Library Discussed To the Editor: ( This letter will address three issues: First, the tax rate on real estate approved by the Board of Supervisors to fund the administration and operation of the county in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1095. More and more I have come to appreciate the dedication, determination, and serious deliberation with which the Board (both individually and collectively) deals with, and ultimately disposes of, the seemingly dichotomous issues they face each Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan With the Fire Department’s huge new flag on the Courthouse as a backdrop. Jim Morrison and Rivana presented square dancing Monday afternoon. year in trying to on the one hand, keep down the increase in the real estate rate, (this year the increase was 7 cents per $100 as opposed to 12 cents last year), and the to raise enough funds to adequately provide for the level of services the citizens of Rappahannock have come to expect. I only wish that the increase could have been less. But as I sat through the meetings and work sessions of the Board (and participated in some), I am thoroughly convinced that under the circumstances, this is about as low as we could get. Even at that a part of the necessary funding has to come from paltry reserves, much to the consternation of the members, especially Piedmont District Representative Charles K. (Pete) Estes, who is not normally very vocal, but on this issue is sure to be heard. Now, for the second issue: I am constrained to voice my appreciation for the level of funding provided for the operation of the library. While my vested interest in the funding of county operations dictates that I should be as vigilant as humanly possible regarding the control of tax increases, my fiduciary responsibility as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Rappahnnock County Library, requires that I be equally vigilant in seeing to it that finding levels are adequate to effectively and efficiently carry out the objectives and responsibilities of the Library. Whenever the management of public resources is involved, there should always be the awareness that inadequate funding of any program can and usually does lead to ineffi ciency and waste! As to the amount of the increase, it must be observed that while the request has been referred to as a 22 percent, it is an increase of 21.8 percent over county funding from last year and an increase of only 10.5 percent in the total library budget for this year. This increase was due almost entirely to the funding to a new part-time professional to assist in the day-to-day operations of the library. This employee doubles as clerical, since the library has no clerical staff. Thirdly, I want to make it abundantly clear that the “..;.nice sophisticated (telephone) system” that I was reported to have referred to at June 23rd Board Meeting. (Rama hannock News-June 29th), was not paid for out of library funds, but rather, was a gift to the library from the law firm of Luke and Genebach (our county attorney—one in the same). So not only did we not pay for the system, we did not even pay the $295 installation fee which was picked up by the Friends of the Rappahannock Library. , E. FRANKLIN WARNER Scrabble Bike Paths Needed To the Editor Along the lines of the true Rappahannock community spirit that we’ve seen so much of in recent times, I wonder whether we might be ready to endorse and promote bike riding in this county. i ; For one thing, it would probably be the single best investment this county could make for our tourism industry. Bike paths would also promote a gentle lifestyle, give our youngsters something to do independent of their chauffeuring parents, and wean us a bit from our dangerous and polluting cars. We could start small. For instance, a bike path between the Washington Post Office and the library would be a great thing. Signs put up by the Highway Department on designated bike routes cautioning drivers about cyclists would also be another useful and modest step. Our long-term goal might be bike paths along scenic byways like the. Fodderstack and Route 231, as well as a link between Washington and Sperryville. Let’s see if we can get a group together to look into realizing some of these ideas. In the meantime, please be aware that a cyclist could be around the next comer.

Observations on the Virginia Senate Race By EUGENE McCARTHY Rappahannock Ncwa Contributing Writer (Editor’s Note: When former Sen. McCarthy was unable to deliver this speech because of illness, his neighbor Sean Kilpatrick read it at the Couthouse on July It.) At this stage of the campaign only one of the four candidates, has on the issues, established that he is actually running for the United States Senate. Three of them, Robb, Wilder, and Coleman, seem to be running for governor of Virginia, two on their own records, as governor, and one on a retrospective of what his record might have been, had he been elected as governor. This may be by design, and consistent with the 1992 campaign of Bill Clinton, who essentially ran for Governor of the United States, promising, or proposing, to reduce crime, improve education, reform welfare, relieve the states of the burden of Medicaid, and balance the Federal Budget, (as he had balanced the budget of Arkansas.) All of these are traditionally, if not Constitutionally, responsibilities of state and local government. Each of these three candidate!, may go on to argue, that based on his experience and interests, he may understand President Clinton, and help him, as he acts the governor’s role, as President; moving funds from one program to another, doing fast budget accounting, earmarking taxes for various purposes: the tobacco tax for cancer care and research, for example, duck stamp funds for fish ponds, etc., and especially helping the President forge his “work on welfare” “two year and out,” his “three strikes and out” rules for sentencing criminals, and especially his campaign against teen-aged pregnancy. Oliver North has shunned the gubernatorial range of programs and policies. He is anti-Congressional. He is above it, and (it would appear) attempts to solve most problems, by Constitutional Amendment. He would balance the federal budget by Consitutional Amendment. He would give the President line-item veto, which would also require a Contitutional Amendement unless the Constitutional responsibilites of hte House of Representatives are to be ignored. And he would set term limitations on members of Congress, an action that most likely also would require a Constitutional amendment. It may come to pass that as the campaign goes on, one or more of the candidates, may take up proper Senate issues. It is important that they do. The political problems that the country faces today are of the kind that the drafters of the Consitution, persons like Madison and Mason, anticipated should be of special concern to the Senate. They are problems that do not lend themselves to short term fixes, such as might be offered within the two-year span of members of the House of Representatives. They are not of a kind that can or should be taken care of by bureaucratic decree or Presidential orders. Nor are they of a kind that can be transferred to state and local gov emments. They require long range projections. They involve matters in which domestic policies and foreign and military ones (tradiational and Constitutional responsibility of the Senate) are not separable. They are problems that cannot be solved by attention to symptoms and evidence of failure, because they reach to the very structure and functions of the Constitution and of .American culture. I suggest that the candidates as they look to the development of their positions and program, look to the nuyor fields of government, politics, economfbs, and culture, in all of which, American democracy is threatened. Threats may arise from failure, for various reasons, to exercise or carry out basic duties of citizenship. Democracy is sustained not only by the exercise of inalienable rights, but also by the performance of in alienable duties. These duties are not mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, or in the Constitution. They were taken as granted as essential supports of democratic government. The fjrst is participation in government and in political action. Jefferson warned that if citizens were indifferent, the magistrates would take over. When he visited the U.S. in 1831, de Tocqueville observed that “to take a hand in the government of society and to talk about it is his (the American citizen’s) most important business. Today voter turn-out in major national elections regularly falls below 50 percent. In primaries and lesser elections the turn-out is much lower as we saw in the recent Democratic primary here. The fault does not lie only with the citizens. Many voters are kept form participating because of restrictive registration and residential laws, and by state and federal laws that give special preference to the Republican and Democratic parties. The measure of voter frustration against such limiting controls was manifest in the 1992 vote for Ross Perot. Some 20 million votes were cast in protest by persons, knowing that they were unlikely to win a single vote in the electoral college. The Federal Election Law limits individual participation in campaigns but gives special standing to corporate PACs. The second fundamental duty of citizenship, identified, by the founding fathers, and recognized in the much debated “right to bear arms” amendment to the Constitution is the duty of defend the country. Jefferson, de Tocqueville, and others, all have warned of the danger of a non-citizens’, mercenary army. This is what we now have under the label of a “volunteer” army, in contrast with the citizens’ army, the members of which, we honored in recent D-Day remembrances. The third inalienable duty, honored in colonial times, and until re cently, in our existence 9s a nation, was that of paying taxes to sustain the government. The Revolutionary cry credited to James Otis-“Taxation without representation is tyranny,”has been changed to read, “taxation with representation.” The two major parties vie with each other in boasting of how many persons each has removed from income tax rolls. Currently only about 70 percent of the approximately 135 million potential taxpayers actually pay general taxes. The second category of threats is economic; The first of these is maldistribution of wealth. It is estimated that 10 percent of the people of the country control 70 percent of the personally held wealth. The second is chronic unemployment: The acceptance of a permanent poverty class, and a great body of unemployed. Third comes from excessive debt, both non-governmental and governmental. The fourth is loss of control over the currency of the country. We, the U.S., are currently asking other nations to support the American dollar. The third set of threats arise from loss of sovereignty, both international and domestic. Internationally we have become a kind of colony to the world, manifest in our not controlling our borders, especially against the flow of illegal drugs and illegal inunigrants, and in our unfavorable trade balance. Internally, we have allowed bureaucracies, most notably the I.R.S., the Federal Election Commission and the Federal Communications Commission to exercise powers, not allowed or to be tolerated in a government operating within the limits of the Bill of Rights. And we have institutions, multi-, national corporations, some national corporations, and the Pentagon, wrapped up in the military-indusSee McCarthy, Page A-5

Who often quotes as authority in support of his positions, words (heard only by him) of dead politicians or asserts that he knows what a dead person would do if alive.

Who lives off an inheritance set up by grandparents or greatgrandparents. One living off a fund set up by a father or mother is within a tolerable range of acceptance. if grandparents anticipated that their progeny could not be trusted with a family inheritance, there is small reason to accept that the same progeny should be given any part in handling a federal budget in excess of a trillion dollars. Do not vote for a candidate: 3. Who has been touted by someone-friend, editor, columnist, or poltician-as having the potential to be a vice-president. Do not vote for a candidate: 4. Who as a candidate regularly quotes the Bible, especially one who knows chapter and verse. Do not vote for a candidate: 5. Who claims or accepts credit, for having special qualities of character because of having used, in youth or age, an out-door toilet, as Jimmy Carter did, as a candidate, and as President Clinton acknowledge in his 1992 campaign. Many resident of Rappahannock County still use such facilities without showing evidence of special character as a result. Do not vote for a candidate: 6. Who promises a perfect attendance record in the Senate; anything ab$ve 80 percen is clear evidence of wasted time. Do not vote for a candidate: ^ Who cries a lot and easily in public. Some experts on crying, note that it is important to note whether the politician seems to cry out of the inner corner of his eyes, as Richard Nixon was observed to do, or out of the outer corner, as President Johnson did, or straight down in the manner of Bette Davis, or merly to wellup or go misty eyed. Do not vote for a candidate: 8. Who has had either too much 'or too little oxygen, either from natural causes or artificial ones, as in the submarine service or in outer space, for example, or from mountain climbing, scuba diving or from intensive jogging. Do not vote for a candidate: 9. Who does not know the difference in the technique of driving cows, as distinguished from that used in driving pigs. Cattle must be started slowly, sung to, and then stampeded. Pigs must be panicked to start them, and then allowed to slow down carefully and subtly. As a rule the cattle technique should be used in the House of Representative and the hog psychology in moving the Senate. Despite the complexity of making political choices, frustration, and disappointment, do not take the advice of the man in the gold breastplace under the old stone cross, who according to the Irish poet W.V. Yeats, advised people: ‘To stay at home and drink you beer and let your neighbors vote.” Thank you.

/ ►TB / j From Page A-l head for the test itself. There is the cost of driving the cattle through the chute twice, once for the test and again to see if there is a reaction. Being put through the chute puts cattle under stress and can lead to weight loss, he said. “You can’t overestimate the importance of being able to ship cattle out of state,” he added. Virginia’s agriculture department is working to get the state’s TB-free status restored. All the cattle bought by the Floyd County farmer and sold from the infected herd are being traced. In addition all herds within a mile and a half distmce from the affected rpoduceFs property are being tested at state expense. “This won’t bring Virginia’s cattle industry to a standstill,” J. Carlton Cornier III, commissioner of the Deparetment of Agriculture and Consumer Services, said. “But it will cause inconvenience and expense to our producers. That’s why we’re working very hard to regain the TB-free status.” ►Senate From Page A-l Gen. Jones said, “In regard to the Iran/Contra mess, it must be clearly understood that Iran/contra was in all reality a political conflict between a popular President Reagan and a one-party controlled Congress.” Gen. Jones added, “Had Lt. Col. Ollie North not helped sustain the Contras of Nicaragua...Congress it! self would have had to bear responsibility for the loss of Central America to communist military and political forces...The Evil Empire, the Soviet Union, is gone, but this is thanks in part of Ollie’s help in Nicaragua.” He said, “Ollie North has an agenda that most Virginians and Americans will agree with: lower taxes, preserve family values, the preservation of individual freedoms, maintain a strong military and term limits.” Galen Brooks, 10th District campaign chairman, spoke on behalf of former Gov. Douglas Wilder’s independent bid for the senate seat. He said, Gov. Wilder is “a candidate you can vote for, rather than one to vote against.” He said in Gov. Wilder’s years serving in the state senate, he had helped pass laws to control (hug paraphenalia, restore compulsory education, promote fair housing and housing for low and moderate income people, and limit parole. He said he was elected governor, the first African-American, to be elected governor of a state, in a fair election. “He won fair and square,” Mr. Brooks said. “There were no dirty attacks.” He said Gov. Wilder had kept his campaign promises and can be expected to keep promises he makes in the senate campaign. “By all accounts he was a good governor,” he said noting that while Gov. Wilder was governor, Virginia was rated “at the top of well man PtUT(f\ T^NEPTME “TRIGON? THAT WAS, OF COURSE THE ORIGINAL NAME FOR THE PLANET VENUS.

Charles S. Robb, D-Va. and Congresswoman Leslie Byrne, D11th District, introduced legislation that will exempt from federal taxes the settlement received by Virginia federal and military retirees in a lawsuit filed against the state. The bill would affect 186,000 retirees in the state of Virginia, who were disputing a disparity in their taxes. “This bill will guarantee that military and federal retirees who were improperly taxes by the state won’t be improperly taxes by the federal government,” said Robb. “Now that a settlement has been reached in the lawsuit, the time is right for this leg-, islation.” Without the bill, federal retirees may face having their settlement taxes. This tax would be in addition to the federal tax already paid when the benefits were first reported. Those who did not itemize would be taxes twice on their earnings, and for those who did itemize, the IRS would have to undergo a complicated, lengthy and costly process to determine tax liability. Robb said the settlment retirees receive shouldn’t be subjects to “double jeopardy” and noted that the bill prevents that from happening. “The refund shouldn’t be considers original income and shouldn’t be taxes a second time,” said Robb. Robb and Bryne said the legislation should “clarify and simplify the issue.” Robb will introduce the legislation in the Senate, and Byrne in the House. The measure will likely be referred to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee.

• Community News • Obituaries • Real Estate • Classifieds County Children Enjoy Camping Experiences By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Camps for all interests were in session in Rappahannock this past week. The All-Net Basketball Camp took place at the high school Monday through Friday, while Computer Camp finished up at the elementary 8choolonJune30. The All-Net Basketball Camp had a total of 95 participants for the two-week period. “I think it was the best two weeks of camp we have had. We changed the format a little, and it seemed to work better,” said Coach Gary Leake. Eighty percent of the campers came from Rappahannock County. The 3 on 3 tournament did not turn out to be the success it was hoped to be, due to conflicts with area all-star baseball games. Also, some players refused to sign up because the gym at RCHS is not airconditioned. However, the Rappahannock County 13 and under team won their division. The team was comprised of Dan Settle, Mike Settle, Dan Digges and Chris Fletcher. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Counselors Daliah Macon and Julie Bankston cared for a baby robin during Natural History Day Camp. In the 17 and under group, the team of Lee Freeman, Jason Carter, Allen Groves and Willie Eastham finished third. In the same category, the girls’ team made up of Bonnie Jewell, Susan Jewell and Kari Kerr came in second. ' Several coaches from around the state helped out at the camp. “It was good for the kids to hear other coaches’ philosophies,” said Coach Leake. Also, he said that the kids left pretty tired every day, and that he was sure they would sleep well. The RCES Computer Camp, led by Layne Vickers and Lilo Wolfe, taught 28 students basic computer usage, including word processing, graphics, and Lego Logo. The classes were made up of students who have just completed third through seventh grades. “They had a good time,” said Mrs. Vickers. Once again, the Natural History Day Camp, sponsored by the Piedmont Environmental Council and Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, is being held on property belonging to the Bird family on Fodderstack Road. The camp began on June 27 and will finish up this Saturday. The head counselors, Robin Purnell and Karen Henderson, have worked hard to set up an interesting and educational daily schedule for the 25 participants. Five counselors are assisting with this year’s camp: Adam Haase, Jamie Harris, Julie Bankston, Forrest Rogers and Daliah Macon. During the first week, the children made a trip to an abandoned beaver colony to study how beavers create wetland habitats. They observed a black snake attempting to eat a family of indigo buntings, but he was unsuccessful. The children made their own walking sticks. Two scientists from the Benedict Research Lab in Maryland, Richard Lacouture and Stella Brownlee, supervised the children in collecting plant and animal life from the pond for further study under microscopes and in fish tanks. Not only did the children study and identify the pond life, they drew them and later showed their artwork to the rest of the campers. Among the life found in the pond were snails, blue gills, minnows, water striders, water scorpions, a caddis fly case and newts. Microscopic life observed were phytoplankton, ceratium and keratella. When Mr. Lacouture asked the class what they had learned that day, Erica responded, “There are a lot of insects and things in the pond that people do not know are there.” Ashley Dunn answered, “If you swallow the water in the pond you will have a lot of plants and animals in your mouth.” Also this past week, some of the campers built a blind near the pond so they can observe wildlife without scaring them away. Grace Buford from the Wildlife Center of Virginia visited with the group on Friday. She brought an opossum with her. The opossum was one of two which survived from a litter of 12, found in the pouch of a dead opossum alongside the road. The person who found the 12 babies gave them out to several people for caretaking. The two that survived were taken by a woman who made a little pouch for the two, which she wore around her waist. Ms. Buford also brought a sparrow hawk and broadwing hawk to show the group. Coming up this week, Lyt Wood will spend a ‘‘tree day” with the children. Also, they will make statio nery with leaves and catch and release butterfly nets. Ms. Henderson will teach about survival in the woods, and they will learn how to build a lean-to. A trip is planned to Goat Hill Farm, an organic farm in Tiger Valley. Rocks and minerals will be studied, and each child will start their own rock and mineral collection. Edible wild foods will be gathered. The children will be collecting purslane, lambs quarters, plantain leaves, violet leaves, oxalis and dandelion greens for salad, and yarrow, clover and sassafras for tea. On Saturday, the last day of camp, the campers’ parents will join in the group to go through a day with their children. An observation walk is planned, and there will be a hike and lunch in the woods. The Big Oak will be visited, which is the larg est oak tree in Rappahannock County. At the closing ceremony, the children will receive awards. The 4-H Day Camp at the 4-H Center in Front Royal was attended by 75 Rappahannock County children during June 27 through July 1. The children were offered 12 classes: archery, fishing, arts and crafts, cooking, creeks and critters, puppetry, stamps, Indian folklore, gardening, painted T-shirts, wildlife and rocketry. According to Extension Agent Helen Smith, most of the instructors are parents, and some are volunteers who enjoy working with the kids. Each camp day ended with an assembly which included a program. Those providing programs were Sally Mello on bees, storyteller (and counselor) Mike Dunnigan, Margaret and Elsie Dodson on the history of Shenandoah National Park, and finger Brearton with a puppet presentation. On the last day of camp, the kids had a field day which included water balloon races and “catch the flag.” They then cooled off in the 4-H pool for a couple of hours, playing games and enjoying free swim time. “Our 4-H day camp has developed into a nice summer tradition for children in the county. I’m so grateful for our volunteer teachers and teen leaders who make it happen,” said Helen Smith, Extension Agent. At the All-Net Basketball Camp one camper appears to be guarding the counsellor too closely. At the RCES Computer Camp, campers concentrated mightily on the task at hand The water balloon race was a hit at 4-H Day Camp. Horizons Theatre at the Gunston Arts Center in Arlington will present Chris White’s play Rhythms Saturday July 11. The play will run through July 30th. Ms. White, who lives in the Castleton area, presented the play as a workshop performance at Ki Theatre in 1992. She directed it herself and used several Rappahannock residents as actresses. Rhythms takes place in Rappahannock County in late summer. It is set in the present time. Through extensive use of monologues, as well as dialogue, spotlights, simple (mostly folk) songs, a few props and some movement, the play takes us into the hearts and minds of seven women, ranging in age from 16 to 75, and the rhythms that play through their lives. Birthing, music, sex, food, the absent or lost male, nature, and dying are woven together to cre| ate a percussive, rhythmic “song of women,” ending in a dance that brings them all together. “In this piece we make a short acquaintance with the land and its women,” she said. “Perhaps it will serve to remind us of the sacredness of our luscious planet and of the sacredness in the feminine rhythms that live within us all, men and women.” The Horizons Theatre production is directed by Leslie Jacobson, founder and artistic director of the theater. Curtain time for the play is 8 p.m. Tickets are $16 on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings and Saturday matinees, $18 on Friday and Saturday evenings. Senior citizens and student tickets are $15 for all performances. Call (703) 519-9123 for ticket reservations. The Gunston Arts Center is at 2700 S. Lang Street in Arlington. Ms. White’s previous plays Walking Papers, Skin Tight, and Paper Thin have been produced in New York City’s 18th Street Playhouse and The Private Showing at the 13th Street Theatre. Other productions of Ms. White’s plays have been at The Guild Theatre in Boulder, Colo, where she lived before moving to Rappahannock in 1991. Of the current production, Ms. White said, “It’s been interesting discovering that what felt like my baby has a lot of creative room in the directing of it. I’ve needed to let go of the movement and music, and step back and let a new production happen while still honoring what I know.” With her other plays she has been everything froml the writer with no say in the production to the director. “This is the most involved I’ve been without actually directing,” she said. She has been attending rehearsals about once a week, but expects to attend more often this week as the play heads into actual production. Park Symposium Scheduled The Shenandoah National Park Symposium will be held on July 28 and 29 at the Sheraton Inn in Harrisonburg. This biennial gathering of scientists, national and cultural resource managers, land use planners, public administrators, "conservationists, and interested citizens is held to foster communications between the National Park Service and others that share common goals and concerns. The theme of this year’s event is “Shenandoah, more than a landscape: pathways to conservation, recreation and education.” Shenandoah National Park Superintendent J.W. Wade said, “This year’s symposium promises to be the most interesting and best-attended conference ever sponsored by the park.” Activites of special note include three panel discussions titled “Park Values,” “22nd Century,” and “The Role of Science in National Park Manage ment.” These panels will be comprised of representatives of local government, the tourism industry, academia, and the conservation community. The keynote address will be given by Edward E. Clark, President and Executive Director of The Wildlife Center of Virginia. Clark is widely recognized as a leader and advocate for the protection of Virginia’s wildlife resources. National Park Service Director Roger G. Kennedy will speak at the banquet on the evening of July 28. Kennedy has established a reputation as a strong defender of America’s parks and other protected areas, and is leading the National Park Service into an era of more interactive resource stewardship stressing the building of more effective partnerships with the public. The second day will feature concurrent sessions on park man agement issues and the results of recent research. Management topics include: “Our Changing Forest,” “Clearing the Air,” “Protecting Our Wildlife,” “Partners in Flight,” “Protecting Our Past,” “The Backcountry Experience,” “Partnerships in Education,” and “Angling for Pleasure.” Summaries of will be given of 11 research studies being conducted in the park. They include several discussions on the effects of add predpitation on park streams and other resources, research on black bears, the Allegheny wood rat, white-tailed deer, forest insect pests, bird population monitoring and others. The public is invited to attend this symposium, which is sponsored by the Shenandoah Natural History Association and the National Park Service.

While you slumbered, your Heavenly Father prepared for your awakening. “He who keeps you will not slumber" (Psalm 121:3). As you traveled through your busy day, God was with you, guiding ft your steps, iaa giving serenity to your soul. “The Lord is your shade upon your right hand..." When you returned safely home to dine upon the repast from the Creator’s soil, He cared for you still. “He will keep your going out and your coming in...’ (Psalm 121:8) Finally, as our Father wrapped you in the soft darkness of night, you could slumber peacefully. “The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night" (Psalm 121:6). God is with us each day. Will you worship Him this Sabbath? “I will lift up mine eyes” (Psalm 121:1).

Betty Roberts Wins Gus Shea Award By H.W. HOLSCHUH Rappahannock Newa Contributtnr Writer She’s “one in a million” to her friends and co-workers. And at least one in 2,300 to the top executives of the National United Way organization. Betty Roberts, Executive Director of the local Piedmont United Way, was selected from 2,300 United Way Executive Directors nationwide, as the sole winner of the coveted “Gus Shea Memorial Scholarship” for 1993. The award was presented during the Staff Leaders conferenece, May 21-24 in Louisville, which was attended by 1,300 staff people from local United Way organization from all parts of the country. When her name was announced as the winner, Betty said it took everything she had not to cry! Her five years on the job flashed before her eyes: the problems, the solutions, the perspectives. “I realized then that all the hard work had not been in vain,” she said. The Piedmont United Way serves the people of Culpeper, Fauquier, Orange, Madison and Rappahannock Counties. Ms. Roberts attended the Louisville conference as a working member, and was responsible for selecting the top 100 exhibitors for the conference. Exhibitors represented United Way agencies from coast to coast. Over 200 had applied, but less than half were selected because of their “best practices” demj- - ■ - ~ -I Read Cbt ftappabatinocb i)etos for local news onstrated during the past year. Betty also helped arrange for door, prizes, and set up the conference room in the shape of a race track, with a winners circle, and live horse. The award trophy is a thick piece of jade crystal 5 inches wide and 7 inches high etched with the United Way; Strategy Management of Major Accounts. Betty had been recommended by the local United Way board for the John Garber award. But when her application reached United Way of America headquarters in Alexandria, the decision makers felt she was more deserving of the highest honor. Gus Shea had worked for the United Way of America for many years. He believed in people, in training people, and giving them a chance. He felt that if people were treated appropiately and encouraged, they could make a difference. rhe selection committee felt that Betty Roberts best typified this spirit. Through her leadership, the Piedmont United Way has grown in responsibility and fund raising capability, and is definitely making a difference in this community. Betty was singled out for her management skills and her treatment of both volunteer workers and board members. Betty suggests that the award was not for her alone, but for the whole community. Because of the Piedmont United Way, she says, people now have homes, and food on their tables; children have after school day care; a four-year old is learning social skills; teachers benefit because they don’t have to start from scratch to teach a first garder; a senior citizen is not sitting alone, but can eryoy a hot meal. “All this is possible,” she concludes, “because people are giving from the heart.”

Summertime Is Blueberry Time By HELEN W. SMITH Bxicmton Agent, Horn* Economic* One of the best things about summer is the abundance of fresh, local fruits straight from the orchard or pick-your-own farms. Last week I picked some blueberries from one of our local pick-your-own farms and they were delicious! A Botanist’s Blueprint for Success Blueberries have been around for thousands of years, but cultivated blueberries are a recent development. Around the turn of the century, a New Jersey botanist, Frederick Colville, began to cross different varieties of wild blueberries. He wanted to create an easilygrown blueberry for home gardens and farms. Colville’s hard work paid off, and today there are many varieties of blueberries available to fruit growers, amateurs and professionals alike. Most cultivated blueberries are highbush plants, growning 10 to 15 feet for easy hand or machine harvesting. Even though blueberries can be grown in countries other than Canada and the United States, 95 percent of the world’s commercial crop still comes from North America. Storing and Handling Fresh Blueberries Fresh blueberries should be plump, firm and relatively free from leaves and stems. Fresh blueberries should be stored covered in the refrigerator and will keep up to three weeks. Berries should be washed just before using. Blueberries can be frozen by arranging dry fresh berries in one layer on a cookie sheet, with sheet then placed in the freezer. When frozen, berries can be transferred to plastic bags or freezer containers. Baking Basics Blueberries sometimes change color when cooked. Berries often turn red when they come in contact with acids, such as lemon juice, vinegar and yogurt. In a basic environment, such as batters containing large amounts of baking soda, blueberries may turn greenish-blue. Color changes do not affect flavor. For pancakes and waffles, blueberries should be added as soon HOME ECONOMICS as the batter is poured on the griddle or iron. If frozen blueberries are used, make sure they are heated through before serving. Using hard frozen berries in batters will reduce color streaking. Add frozen berries last to fruit mixtures to avoid coloring other fruit. / Nutrition Information Blueberries have more to offer than good looks and good taste. They’re nutritious, too. Like all fruits, they contain no cholesterol. ,j Blueberries are also an important source of potassium and are sodiumfree. Serving size-1 cup: calories 80, protein 1 g, carbohydrates 17 g, fat 1 g, sodium 0 mg, fiber (dietary) 4 g, potassium 105 mg, vitamin A percent RDA less than 2 percen of the U.S. RDA of these nutrients, vitamin C percent RDA 15, calcium percent RDA less than 2 percent of the U.S. RDA of these nutrients, iron percent RDA 2, vitamin B6 4. Storing: and Handling: Frozen Blueberries Blueberries should be kept frozen and unused portions of bags and boxes should be returned to the freezer promptly.

To Sell New Direct Broadcast Service Via Satellite, Inc., a satellite television retailer in Front Royal announced recently that it was authorized by DirecTv, Inc., a unit of GM Hughes Electronics, to sell the DirecTv enteratinment programming service. DirecTv, the nation’s premier direct broadcast satellite (DBS) service is the largest television start-up in history and is slated to revolutionize the way Americans watch television. DirecTv enteratinment programming will be delivered nationwide via satellite, and received by 18-inch satellite dishes installed in homes across the country. Via Satellite will begin selling DirecTv, as well as DSS (Digital Satellite System) recei ving units in July. DirecTv will deliver approximately 150 channels of popular cable networks, Hollywood’s hit movies, sports and special interest programming directly to homes equipped with the DSS receiving units. Manufactured by Thomson Consumer Electronics and sold under the RCA brand name, DSS is a three-component system consisting of an 18-inch satellite antenna, a digital decoder box and a remote control that will retail for approximatley $699 (plus installation). The DirecTv service will be delivered via two high-power direct broadcast satellites (DBS). The first satellite, DBS-1, was successfully launched on an Ariane rocket on Dec. 17, 1993, from French Guiana, South America. The second satellite, DBS-2, is scheduled to be lauched this summer. The DirecTv programming service started delivery in April with approximately 75-80 channels of programming. Once the second satellite is in place, DirecTv will be at full capacity to deliver approximately 150 channels of enteratinment and information. Via Satellite, Inc., is among the first dealers in the country to be authorized to sell the DirecTv programming and the RCA DSS. Through DirecTv, consumers across the country will have access to a wide array of programming choices and selections delivered in near laser-disc quality video pictures and CD-quality audio sound. Programming on the satellites will include the leading names in cable television such as CNN, ESPN, and the Disney Channel, pay-perview movies from major Hollywood studios, professional and collegiate sports, and special interest programming. Movies and special events will be available on impulse through one touch operation with a special remote control. In addition, an innovative on-screen menu will guide subscribers through the program selections and system operations, and allow consumers to establish spending limits and exercise parental control through program rating limit passwords. Because the system utilizes advanced digital compression technology, it will also be compatible with future television formats such as HDTV and be capable of providing interactive services for home shopping and video games.

BALDWIN Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Friends and family gathered for the annual outing at the Bolen Family Cemetery in Shenandoah National Park on Sunday, June 26. There were 15 in the gorup, who were: Mr. and Mrs. Isaac H. Beahm, Mrs. Jennie Frazier, Mr. and Mrs. . Maywood Cornwell, Mr. James Bolen, Miss Beulah Bolen and Mrs. Mary Bolen Burner, all of Luray, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Pullen of Sperryville, Mrs. Dorothy K. McWaters of Rixeyville, Mike Beahm of Gid Brown Hollow, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Gore of Reva and Wayne Baldwin of Leon. Last year our group had double that number. We understand several were ill and the heat was another factor. We had only one vehicle with the ability to make the trip up. The most unabled were taken along with the food in the first trip. The other folks deciding to walk at least as far as they could. The next group were picked up 15 minutes later, but the final group had to walk the whole distance up. All but five walked back. Come on family, we need those of you with trucks or 4 x 4x to attend so this doesn’t happen! We also need to contact the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Department of Interior to find our why the section road between the parking area and the chain isn’t being maintained. This road is supposed to be open. It is not in the Congressionally designated Wilderness Area! Actually, State Route 614 would seem to end at the Park Chain as the Park Boundary is to the west of the road. Letters will be going out within the next couple of weeks. Those of you who know the condition of this section of the road in question need to call or write to these people and if necessary your Delegate to get his matter taken care of. Going to the cemetery is no effort for those of us who can walk, as we could go anytime. Those of us who cannot walk, it does become a problem. The number of relatives descended from folks buried at the Bolen Cemetery number in the hundreds, and though we would not expect such a turnout for this event, we would expect more of the younger generations to assist those of the older set. It will come soon enough that eventaully no one will be alive who cares about the past. Don’t let it happen in our generation! Another trip to the cemetery is planned for the month of October. We will be notifying everyone as the date draws nearer.
