By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer A1 and Cheryl Kellert’s new winery at Gray Ghost Vineyards in Amissville played host to 250 wine tasters during their opening last weekend. The tasting room and winery are housed in an old stable on their property. Upon entering the tasting room, visitors are offered a taste of wine, and a tour of the winemaking process, if desired. The room is set up to handle several people at once, and the Kellerts’ vast collection of wine glasses is on display on both ends of the room. Tables and chairs are set up outside, looking over the vineyards, and picnicking is encouraged. The Kellerts planted their first grape vines in the spring of 1987. It takes at least five years before a sizeable crop is harvested, but once the vines are established, they produce for many years. Their nine acres of grapes include Vidal Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Riesling. The Vidal Blanc is available for tasting and sales in the winery now, and the 1993 Chardonnay is due to be released around August 7. Their first red wine to be released, Cabernet Franc, may be ready for sale this fall. Mr. Kellert is producing two separate Cabernet Sauvignons, one of which is reserved in French oak barrels. He said they will probably r not be ready until some time in 1995. Mr. Kellert said that his family spent three years looking for the right land for their home and vineyards. Their property in Amissville, across the road from the Amissville Fire Department, used to be an apple orchard. Mr. Kellert said that is the type of land he needed for growing grapes, land that had alSee Winery, Page A-6 \ Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan A1 Kellert explains winemaking o Carlton Shufflebarger.

The gist of that resolution stated, “Any person newly elected to the position of Treasurer shall be required to perform all the duties and responsibilities of that office, including the duties of the chairperson of the Water Authority and supervisor of the Town Engineer, for a period of one year or one complete budget cycle for the Town, whichever shall be greater, before delegating any such duties or responsibilities to another person, be that a deputy, an assistant, or any person employed by the Town.” The subject of the resolution was brought up during the meeting by Council member Ray Gooch. He said that in the classified ad which ran in last week’s Rappahannock News for an administrative assistant for the town, some duties of the job were listed which the treasurer should be doing, including the preparation and mailing of water bills, recording of payments of water bills, and the pre paration of tax forms. He said, “I think it should be consistent with the resolution we passed about the duties of the treasurer. Either we should repeal the resolution or amend the job description.” Mr. Gooch further stated that he didn’t see how a party could delegate duties unless they knew how to do the job themself. “If we pay someone to do the job they should do it.” Treasurer Tom Zumwalt said that in several meetings he had with former Treasurer Brad Fisher, Mr. Fisher indicated to him that an administrative assistant was needed. Mr. Zumwalt also said that he felt it was unrealistic to ask someone doing a part-time job to stuff envelopes, etc. Mr. Gooch argued that the preparation of tax forms is a treasurer’s duty. A motion was made to rescind the resolution which was passed in April. All members of the council voted for it except Messrs. Gooch and Lynch. In addition to Mayor Willis’s letter to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke dated July 11, 1994, regarding the investigation of the last Town Council election, a letter was sent to Mr. Luke on July 13 from council members Reinhardt Lynch and Ray Gooch. They had intended to send the letter along with the letter signed by Mayor Willis, thinking that he would bring the letter to the Town Council meeting before sending it. Messrs. Lynch and Gooch, identifying themselves in the letter as the two-person minority of Council opposing the recommendation to terminate the investigation of campaign tactics, asked Mr. Luke to pursue the investigation to completion. The last paragraph of their letter read, “We deem the continuation of the investigation to its logical, rather than its aborted, conclusion to be in the best interests of the voters, residents and taxpayers of the Town. We hope and trust the serious pursuit of the wrongdoers you have undertaken will, at your conclusion of the investigation, put to an end, once and for all, improper, unlawful and unethical campaign practices in Town elections, whether or not any individual is ultimately called to account for misdeeds by civil or criminal penalties.” Mr. Gooch said that he believed the minutes from the prior meeting See Council, Page A-6 Addition \ ' Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan The exterior of the addition to the Faith Mountain Company nears completion. ■ \V • Old Rag Bulletins Katzen To Meet With Constituents Del.

I School Addition Construction on Schedule By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer Both school officials and Kenbridge Construction agree the project for the elementary school addition is on schedule. Walls are up for most of the addition, and starting last week and continuing into this one, roof trusses were being set in place. v “We’ve got a good team here.... Everybody works well together.” —Mike Harmody Mike Harmody, construction superintendent for the project, said, “The project is going good so far. We haven’t had any real problems.” He noted that several days of rain can throw a project a week behind, but so far they have been able to make up for days missed because of rain. He expects to begin work on the roof by the end of the month, and once the roof is on, work won’t be as affected by weather, he said. He said it has been easy working with school officials and representatives of the architectural firm. “We’ve got a good team here,” he said. “We’ve got good subcontractors, and everybody works well together.” The addition is due to be substantially complete by early October with November 18 scheduled as a work day for teachers for moving into the addition. That will give students three days in the new space before Thanksgiving break. “Kenbridge has been very good to work with,” assistant superintendent Robert Chappell said. “They’re very competent, and they keep us informed.” There have been minor changes in pjans. Even before the project was let for bids, school officials decided to cover the kindergarten floors in tile instead of partly in tile and partly in carpet. There will be area rugs, and that is expected to P""......: nHRB m gpi add somewhat to the cost. Mr. Chappell said installed carpet was deleted because bacteria can live in wet carpet and because carpet adhesives give off toxic fumes. Superintendent David Gangel said he was pleased to see the trusses going up because he can see the new roof line. “It looks very good,” he said. \v 7V <t ■* It is rare for a school construction project to stay entirely on schedule, but both the construction firm and school administration feel that should not be a problem with this project. Even if construction does run over schedule there is a one month buffer between “substantial completion” and moving day, Dr. Gangel noted.

Conserving electricity is a simple way to keep your summer energy bills manageable without sacrificing comfort. Potomac Edison’s Blu£ Ridge Area manager Harry Saufley explains that because air conditioning is one of the largest energy users in the home in the summer, one of the most effective ways to cut energy use is by raising the temperature setting on your air conditioner’s thermostat. “We recommend that customers increase air conditioner thermostat temperatures to the highest comfortable setting,” says Mr. Saufley. “Each degree below 78 degrees means 3 percent more energy is needed to cool your house. In the evenings or when you will be away from home all day, it’s a good idea to turn off the air conditioner to save energy.” He adds that keeping your home no more than 15 degrees below the outside air temperature is a useful and energy-saving tip to remember. Mr. Saufley says that cleaning air conditioning filters, substituting circulating fans for air conditioning when the temperatures are cooler, placing lamps or television sets away from the thermostat and closing blinds and draperies to help block out sun during the day are other good energy-saving ideas. “In and around your home, there are many easy ways to conserve energy,” Mr. Saufley says. “Reducing your energy use doesn't mean you have to change your life-style or be Library Receives Funds From County Businesses Ed Barton, president of the Friends of the Rappahannock County Library and Helen Platt, treasurer of the Library Board, announced last week that six area businesses have given checks to the Rappahannock County Library. These businesses will be able to receive Virginia tax credits up to 50 percent of the check amount under a program called the Neighborhood Assistance Program. Money donated to the Library under this proi gram can be used to complete the building, procure furnishings and help with landscaping. The Neighborhood Assistance Program lets the state of Virginia help local businesses give money to the their local libraries. Mr. Rhinehart Lynch and Mr. Patrick 0’ Connell from the Inn donated $1,500; Mr. and Mrs. Martin Woodard from Faith Mountain donated $1,500; Mr. and Mrs. Barney O’Meara from Moose Hill Enterprises donated $100; Dr. William H.

In fact, the benefits are overwhelmingly positive-you cut your energy costs and help save valuable natural resources.” J Here are some additional tips for having a cool and energy-efficient summer: •Do household chores which require water or produce heat during the coolest time of the day-early morning or late evening. •Take short showers instead of baths and install flow restricting showerheads and sink aerators. •Turn off lights not necessary for security or safety to cut back energy use and make your home cooler. Fluorescent lamps are more efficient than several low-wattage incandescent lamps. And the fluorescent lamps give off less heat. ( i *Cook outside on the grill whenever possible or prepare meals using a microwave oven or small appliances. •Wash full loads of dishes, using a dishwasher, if available. (A dishwasher uses up to 43 percent less water than hand washing dishes.) Also, let dishes air dry. Use the energy-saver switch on your dishwasher or open the door after the final rinse and turn the dish drying control to “off.” •Always use a cold water rinse and only run full loads of clothes when washing. Also, avoid pre-rinsing, which uses up to 70 percent more water. Contact Potomac Edison for more information on how you can save money year-round by conserving energy at home. Call 1-800-6543317 to ask for a copy of “Use Electricity Wisely,” a free publication that contains more energy-saving tips. RESIDENTIAL GARBAGE COLLECTION Rates as low as $10 per month.

J New Lombardy Restaurant Reopens By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt SUIT Writer The Lombardy restaurant on U.S. 211 in Amissville quietly reopened on June 6 under new management, after being closed for several months. People are beginning to stop in again, and it is well worth the visit. All of the food is fresh and homemade. The vegetables are either out of local gardens or fresh from the purveyor. With last Wednesday night’s special of pork chops, green beans and mashed potatoes, customers were served fresh green beams and real mashed potatoes. No canned vegetables here. All of the salads (macaroni, potato, coleslaw, tuna and egg) are made on the premises, as are the desserts. Linda Jenkins is one of the cooks and specializes in desserts. She loves to make cakes, and some cakes that have recently been on the menu have been fudge, coconut, raspberry, walnut and brown spice. Her macaroni salad is not to be missed. She adds cucumber to it for extra crunch. George Pullen, a native of Rappahannock County and resident of Viewtown, is the manager and one of the cooks. Mike El-Shafie is the assistant manager and also cooks. Mr. Pullen’s mother, Shirley Settle, also helps out with the mostly family business. Waitresses are Mr. Pullen’s daughters Lisa and Angela, Amy El-Shafie and Jessica Jacobs. The restaurant is open every day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. “But those hours may change in the winter, depending on the weather,” said Mr. Pullen. All breakfast orders are served with home fries. Luncheon sand wiches are available with many choices of side orders. Dinners come with either salad and choice of potato, french fries and coleslaw, or salad and garlic bread. Lombaniy offers daily specials, usually for dinner. Steak night has been popular, and Mr. Pullen is hoping to offer a crab dinner with corn on the cob a little later in the sum mer. All of the prices are extremely reasonable, with sandwich prices ranging from $1.50 to $2.50; breakfasts from 75 cents for a Danish to $3.25 for two eggs with sausage and home fries; and dinners from $4.50 for a crab cake sandwich with french fries and coleslaw to $10.00 for a Tbone steak with salad and choice of potato. // / , Mr. Pullen said that his restaurant offers good service, good meals and good hospitality. He welcomes ' comments from customers, and hopes they will speak up if something is not right, or if they have a compliment. Take-out orders are also available by calling 937-3951. Rappahannock News Stiff PtouvCindy Malm Linda Jenkins, Jessica Jacobs, Lisa Pullen and George Pullen are ready to wait on customers at the reopened Lombardy Restaurant in Amissville. I I Rev. Bare Leaving Washington Baptist By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rev. Darell Bare, his wife Dawn and their children will be leaving Washington Baptist Church at the end of July. He has accepted the position of pastor of the Three Forks Baptist Church in Boone, N.C. The Rev. Bare said the decision to make the move was a difficult one. He has been at Washington Baptist about four years, which he said is fairly typical for Baptist churches in Virginia. During that time the church went through a process of prayer and study, setting goals and visions for the ftiture. He said having gone through that process should help the church now as it prepares to call a new pastor. “What we tried to do is look to the future, identify who we are and what we can best do for God in our i Summer Reading List Ready If you are a parent, you wait in fear for the first rumblings of, “But Mom, I don’t have anything to do!” A few weeks from now, when the initial excitement of the beginning of summer vacation wears off, the whining will start. This is the time to start a habit Correction In last week’s story about the Town Council meeting, Diane Bruce was reported to have said that there was an investigation four years ago and that the Town Council had asked that it be terminated. In fact, she said the Town Council had NOT asked that it be terminated. The Rappahannock News regrets the error. that can become the nicest thing your children can do for themselves-to learn the joys of a cool drink and a good book under a shady tree on a lazy summer afternoon. A Summer Reading List of books aimed at various grade levels, from kindergarten to eleventh grade, is available free of charge from Wakefield County Day School, Inc., in Huntly by calling the school at 6358555 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with your address, phone number and the grade levels of your children.

Uttilv "When you want it done right" community and apply that,” he said. He added that some specific things may be set aside or delayed because of his departure, but most “will and should go forward.” The church in Boone is interested in starting the same process, he said. It is a little larger than Washington Baptist and close to his family in North Carolina, but he said that is an extra for him and his family, not the reason they are going. “I’m grateful God has put me in a church that is close to my family,” he said. The Washington Baptist Church, as part of the planning process, decided it needs to expand the Sunday school and office space and provide a new fellowship hall and “options are being considered,” he said. In addition the church building itself had “a hard year,” he added. Damage caused by winter storms has been repaired. The church also suffered June 18, when it was hit by lightning. There was damage to the steeple, and some electronic devices, such as the telephone and amplifiers for the organ and sound system, were destroyed. The deacons of the church will appoint a “pastor search committee” which will work with local and state associations to find a new pastor to present to the congregation. In the meantime the church will be served by supply preaching and perhaps an interim pastor, he said. He said it seemed to him that God was trying to bring him and the church in Boone “together right now.” He said he realizes he is leaving with things left unfinished. “A lot of things are half done at Washington, and I hope they will continue,” he said. “A good pastor is always in a situation where a lot of things are half done, so there is never a completing point when it’s time to go because there’s nothing left to do. I have confidence the church will continue to seek God’s will and continue to do as a church those things they see as God’s will for them.” t He said he will miss the community and friends in Rappahannock. “We appreciate everything people inside and outside the church have done to make us part of the community,” he said. “We will always have friends here.” TEACHER'S < NOOK 5 Come See Us At Stickley's Stationery and Office Supply Inc. for classroom, home school, parent and teacher needs Store Hours; Monday-Friday 8;45 am. - 5 p.m. Satruday 9:30 a.m. -12 Noon Kelly Estes 703-635-2931 511 North Royal Avenue Front Royal, Va. a tye's Orchard , WAIM'N&TOH, V* t Freestone Peaches and ; Rambo Apples (Peach crop is light) J SELLING 7 DAYS A WEEK : Directions: 25 miles west of ; Wanenton, to St. Rt. 628 off Rt. 211 at J Washington, Va. at the old home place.

Students from Virginia Tech and Radford University are seeking horses to use for their intercollegiate equitation program, RedTech. Now, in its fourth year, RadTech is looking for six horses to use in its program for the 1994-1995 school year. Horse owners loan their animals for eight months from the end of August until the end of April. RadTech accepts full responsibility for the horse’s board, shoeing, vaccinations,; worming and any other maintenance. “This is a great opportunity for horse owners to have their horses well taken care of and ridden on a regular basis," said Front Royal’s Christi Hite, a Virginia Tech student who is the bam manager for RadTech. \ RadTech offers riding to about 35 team members, and they also offer supervised rides to many club members on the weekends. RadTech is the only such student-run intercollegiate program in the country. While all participants have an op portunity to ride supervised several times during the week, they also are responsible for the care of all the RadTech horses, whether it’s stall cleaning or grooming. Students conceived the idea for RadTech after both Virginia Tech and Radford University lost funding for riding programs. They combined resources and formed RadTech. Besides the team managers who conduct team practice, RadTech also employs a coach to teach individual lessons. The coach for the 1994 -1995 school year is J.T. Tallon from Lexington. He was former coach of Southern Virginia Women’s College with four national team championships The students hold fund-raisers throughout the year to contribute to a very limited budget. RadTech has high hopes for the upcoming competition year. “We have made several changes, including a new coach and a new bam,” says Fairfax’s Kelly Smith, team manager for Virginia Tech. RadTech is totally dependent upon donations from the horse community. For more information on donating horses or supplies, contact Christy Brockett at (703) 754-2826 or (703) 754-4222 or write P.O.

Audtt ^ Bureau WEDNESDAY, JULY 20,1994 Town Government « Fortunately Mayor Stewart Willis toned down the resolution passed by the Town Council at their organizing meeting July 6 before passing it on in the form of a letter to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. The letter requested Mr. Luke to“conclude” the investigation rather than calling bn him to halt it, which 1 seemed to be the intention of the motion passed by council. Mayor Willis apparently realized, even if some on Town Council did not, that the Town Council cannot order a halt to a criminal investigation, even if only civil, rather than criminal, penalties are being sought. i ( It seems that the transition from one council to another could not have been more raggedy. The consequences for the future of the water system and of the town’s fiscal integrity may be serious. Throughout the process of installing the new water . system Mr. Morehouse has acted as administrator of the ' project. Since he did not accept the $42,000 designated for the administrator, the funds were able to accomplish more. More pipes, more fire hydrants were included in the system because of his generosity. He has offered to continue in that capacity until the project is completed. The council needs to formally take him up on that offer. If Mr. Morehouse does not continue to act as administrator the town will have to find someone else with 1 Mr. Morehouse’s construction background who can be certified as administrator. They will need to satisfy the Farmers Home Administration that their administrator can complete the job. The original project is basically complete, but there is still a gigantic job for the administrator to do to satisfy the Farmer’s Home Administration that the grant and loan fimds were well spent. In addition the former council asked Mr. Morehouse to explore the possibility of extending the system by installing main lines for 400 feet on S. Main Street, 700 feet on N. Main Street and 250 feet south on Gay Street. He is pursuing financing for this which is expected to cost another $135,000. Mr. Morehouse said he is close to getting grant funds to cover half this cost. Another loan would cover the other half, but to pay back that loan, it will be necessary to increase water rates slightly. The new council needs to decide if they want this addition and are willing to increase rates to pay for it. With the extensions fire hydrants would be accessible to more of the town. Whether they do the jobs themselves or oversee an administrative assistant to do the jobs performed by the former mayor and treasurer, Mr. Willis and Mr. Zumwalt need to learn how the jobs are done. They need to get together with their predecessors, and soon, and everyone in town needs to stop refighting the election. PLAY ON! Rappahanngck_ Heritage f i The Hughes River in Slate Mills is up to normal flow levels after retent heavy rains. RanMdwnnock New» Staff PhottVCindy Mahn 1 Letters to t Health, Insurance Needed i . To the Editor: Every American must have adequate health insurance. The only fair and practical way for those of us who work is through our employers. Most of the 37 million who do not have insurance get some health care, especially emergency care and major operations or treatments. They don’t get much preventive care, and they wait until they are really sick before getting any help. This makes their care cost more. They often go to expensive hospital emergency rooms for routine care, and this adds to the cost. Taxpayers, and those who have insurance or' who pay cash, pay these costs. Providers must get paid somehow-they add the non-paying patient’s bill to the paying or insured pathient’s bill. You pay for the uninsured’s health care! Ninety percent of the insured get their insurance through their employers. Employers who do not provide insurance are getting a free ride and are unfairly competing with those who do. Almost half the doctors in private practice provide no insurance for their office employees. Congressional committees have reported out schemes for covering the unemployed and for protecting small businesses against unbearable costs. Every senator and member of Congress and almost every federal employee and retiree is covered by a federal health insurance plan (about 9 million people in all). It is administered by a bureaucracy of about 160 people. The employer pays 75 percent of the premium while the employee pays about $100 a month for family coverage. Many options are available, including doctors chosen freely by the employee. Congress is stalling on health legislation. Tell your representative and your senators today that you want a plan at least as good as the one they have for themselves, that your taxes are paying for. AUGUSTUS JOHNSON Syria County Sailor Impressed By D-Day Ceremony To the Editor; At the passing of the 50th anniversary of D-Day I had the opportunity to witness a memorium service for the veterans first hand, and I thought readers might be interested. On June 6, 1994, as the sun rose over the very waters and beaches that saw so much death 50 years before, I listened to the touching speeches and prayers of remembrance given by the President, the Secretary of the Navy, a veteran and others. I was greatly moved. My ship was anchored directly above a ship which was sunk by Ger man fire. Thirteen men are entombed there, men whocgave their lives with many others fo? th)e freedom and happiness we now enjoy. The President and •] veterans tossed a wreath of memorium onto the cold dark, fog-covered ocean. I couldn’t imagine the great fear and helplessness these men must have felt as they looked death in the eye, and as they had their last thoughts of their wives, families, loved ones, and children they had never seen. I also thought of how often, as Americans, we take these things, these blessings from God for granted. But as I saw the pride in the tears of the veterans I felt a strong uplifting peace that I was part of something extraordinary. These veterans were so proud of us and appreciated it so much that we had honored them. These men who went into battle with but a prayer that God would deliver them from death were receiving the recognition they well-deserved. God’s hand of mercy fell upon these few men that I met. But even though much blood was shed and many died, it was for a great purpose, and it is our responsibility to remember. PAUL BUTLER II ' Norfolk Conservatism Vanished To the Editor Having served as the volunteer administrative assistant to the most recent Town Council for at least four years, I am appalled that current Town Council’s approach to fiscal conservatism appears to be nonexistent. It seems that there is a limitless budget for hiring persons for every imaginable task formerly ably accomplished by the mayor, the treasurer, the clerk and the volunteer administrative assistant. The remuneration offered through the advertisement for employment exceeds by 25 percent any compensation paid our former treasurer, as well as wages paid many, if not most, locally based administrative personnel. It is very distressing that this council, having run on a platform of citizen participation, is so lacking in team spirit that the only solution to the various tasks at hand seems to be “we’ll pay somebody to do it” without making any public effort to see if volunteers might be available. Tom Zumwalt’s statement during the July 13 Town Council meeting, that: someone should have informed him of all the requirements of the office of treasurer prior to his becoming a candidate for this office certainly points out the shortsightedness of Mr. Zumwalt in acquainting himself thoroughly with our town government, before making himself available for election. Perhaps his slightly less than eight months as an actual resident of the Town of Washington, and attendance at one Town Council meeting prior to his candidacy, was insufficient for him to grasp the magnitude of the responsibilities he now appears to want to “delegate.” The resolution as passed unanimously by the previous council, including affirmative votes by Janice Moffett and Newbill Miller, requir ing that any person elected to the position of treasurer perform all the duties of this office personally, for a period of one complete budget cycle, » was a prudent and laudable resolution providing protection to all concerned. These comments are offered as constructively as possible, Sour grapes are not the driving force here, but a genuine interest in continuing clear, open and capable government by the people and for the people. The government of the Town of Washington, has, since its inception, been able to recruit a number of able volunteers to accomplish a deversity of tasks. This enabled the town to operate on very limited budgets, without direct citizen taxation, while at the same time creating a team spirit that made it a pleasure to serve. We expect no less from the new Town Council. LOUISE VAN DORT , Washington Diner Very Disappointed To the Editor What a disappointment and degrading experience! There are so few dining extablishments in the area that are handicapped accessible. I had become very fond of the Bleu Rock Inn in Sperryville and had always been treated with respect and dignity. I had always been afforded entrance through the ramped doorway which goes down a hallway on which are two rooms that make up one accommodation. Obviously the ownership or management of the Bleu Rock Inn has changed. I had called 10 days in advance and explained my need to use the ramped entrance because of my disability. I was assured that would be no problem. On arriving May 21 for dinner I was left waiting outside the locked door until two waiters came out and told me I could not enter that way. They intended to carry me through the front door. I use a Rascal Electric Cart, which is in no way suited for carrying. I am sure many would consider it helping to carry a disabled person through a doorway and i over a step. I consider it an insensitive gesture that emphasizes my dis- 1 ability. Eventually, I was allowed to use the ramped entrance. However, when I was ready to leave I again faced a locked door. The manager insisted to my friend that I could exit through the front door, down a small 4-6-inch step. For a handicapped person there is no “small” step. We were told that an exit through thfe original entrance was being discouraged because the room had been rented for $150 a day. If money was the issue, my $160 for dinner should \ have outbid the room rent. It was a thoroughly frustrating and aggravating final dinner at a beautiful restaurant. Being different should not make the disabled second class. NANJ. GOAD Casanova, Va. Editor’s note: Debra Barons, manager at the Bleu Rock Inn, said there had been no change in ownership, management or policy, and the restaurant successfully serves several disabled customers. The ramped entrance leads to a hallway between the bedroom and bathroom of overnight accommodations. Normally when a handicapped person needs to use the ramp, if the rooms are rented, the management asks the customers to close the doors to the two rooms so the hallway can be used. On the evening in question they were unable to get the attention of the customers who had rented the rooms, and that caused the delays in allowing Ms. Goad’s party to use the ramp, Ms. Barons said. Wf&hM, f The time machine :W'> > / >. 30 YEARS AGO July 16,1964 Resident Engineer, D.S. Butler, was present for the July meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, to discuss road improvements. Mr. Butler stated that according to a 12year improvement plan, all roads with as many as 50 vehicles per day will be hard surfaced. 20 YEARS AGO July 18,1974 Several familiar teachers faces will be missed when Rappahannock youngsters return to classrooms this fall, but each of the new retirees is looking forward to retirement and all have plans to keep busy. 10 YEARS AGO July 19,1984 The only thing they didn’t do was roll up their sleeves. Instead, Washington’s Town Council delved during its initial meeting July 11 into issues that will affect the town’s future. The new council discussed numerous items, among them: block grants for a water-distribution system, an ordinance to protect the town’s water supply, an ordinance to preserve the historic district, unrestrained dogs, better utilization of Town Hall facilities and town boundary lines.

Upon My Word! By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Unhrenal Proa The producers of “Shadowlands,” based on the love affair of C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman, set out to make a three-hanky movie. Stanley Kauffmann, reviewing the film in The New Republic, said the actors had plenty of chances to do their dampest. What a sweet line! Every lover of the language admires a fine simile. An apt metaphor is a thing of beauty. But a truly clever pun is a work of art in a class by itself. Let us award Mr. Kauffmann four stars for that one. A few weeks before this little stroke of genius, the pastor of a Lutheran church in Philadelphia decided to go easy on low-income members of his congregation. Pastor Glenn Zorb recognized that not everyone is fit to be tithed. In 1990 the Pun Foundation, publishers of a newsletter called The Pundit, singled out a dozen contributors for special acclaim. For example: In the summer of 1989, a prolonged drought played havoc with truck farms. Frozen food companies had a terrible year. Fresh peas were shriveled, eggplants were small, tomatoes and other vegetables died on the vine. As a result, many were culled but few were frozen. Did you know that William Tell, a famed archer, was also a championship bowler? His entire family excelled at the sport. As his game grew, following the story of young Bill and the apple, every merchant in Switzerland recruited at least a cousin for his team. After a while it became hard to be sure for whom the Tells bowl. In Indianapolis three years ago, several families who live near the Indianapolis Speedway announced that they were fed up with foul-smelling exhaust fumes from the track. They intended to bring charges of Indy scent exposure. Marilyn Bowden, a free-lancer, sold a punny piece to Sky magazine in 1991. She quoted the caretaker at a smelly landfill. He said that waste is terrible thing to mind. She recalled the story of the cows sent into orbit: It was the herd shot round the world. The mail brings from Dell books a happy little paperback, “Bred Any Good Rooks Lately?” This is a collection of groaners put together by James Charlton. The 51 contributors include such writers as Isaac Asimov, Annie Dillard and Willard Espy. The title of this wacko anthology comes from a story told by Stephen King. It seems that the smog in London got so bad that many of the city’s famous rooks began to die off. The birds had become a great tourist attraction. What to do? London’s City Council, deeply concerned, at last found an American aviarist who was willing to raise a flock of smog-resistant birds to replace the fallen fliers. But the supplier was so slow that the Council kept nagging with insistent cables: “Bred Any Good Rooks Lately?” Ronald King played with the same theme. A small stream flows through his New Hampshire farm. His wife, an inveterate gardener, plants flowers along the stream and keeps its borders clean and clear. This is because she loves to weed a good brook. Walter Redfem contributed the story of a talking horse. The handsome animal had become quite famous—and quite high-priced—for his remarkable talent. An advertising agency called the horse and asked him to appear in a commercial for a new itching powder. The horse, expecting to have a speaking role, was plainly miffed when he learned that he was only to whinny. For this, he would receive a minimum fee. The offended horse at last agreed, but he continued to complain. The producer, he said, was making him neigh through the pose. Elmore Leonard and John Cantwell contributed two versions of a golden oldie about the sultan’s favorite dolphins. The ruler loved them so dearly that he kept a pride of lions to guard their lagoon. The dolphins could live forever on a diet of pigeon meat. One day, alas, the dolphins’ keepers ran out of pigeon meat. In desperation, they tranquilized the lions and brought gull meat instead. Police swiftly discovered their crime and brought appropriate charges. They arrested the keepers for transporting gulls acorss state lions for immortal porpoises. And then there is the one about i the squaw on the hippopotamus hide, sitting next to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides. There is the one about the king who stowed his throne is a grass house, and the one about...But you’ve heard these classic tales. What pun we have with words! COPYRIGHT 1994 UNIVERSAL PRESS Local Soccer Families Enjoy Watching World Cup Games By SHARON KILPATRICK 1 Rappahannock New* Staff Writer For Rappahannock’s soccer families having the World Cup in the United States has been quite an adventure. For many it has meant traveling, trying to find the games on TV because they have poor reception. Some with pretty good TV reception don’t have cable or satellite dishes and thus couldn’t see the games on ESPN. For a few it meant attending a game in RFK stadium. Jeb Carney .and his sons, Mark “Ozzie” Pace and his sons and Richard Price, commissioner of the Rappahannock Soccer League took in the game at RFK between Saudi Arabia and Belgium. The boys got a lot of just realizing how popular and colorful international soccer games are, Mr. Carney said. Mr. Pace said he doesn’t have a TV and his family has seen some games in bars. They also visited his parents in Williamsburg to see games he said. “We’ve been following it pretty hard,” he said, adding that he’s probably seen well over half of the games. They have also been buying the Washington Post to follow the games that way, he added. This weekend his sons played in a four-on-four soccer tournament in Culpeper. Following the tournament, he said, everyone went to Pancho Villas to watch the final game between Brazil and Italy. He said his family was divided, with one son favoring Brazil and one favoring Italy. He said he hopes the increased popularity of soccer due to the World Cup will lead to more parents learning about the game and helping to coach in the county soccer league. High school coach Uli Maeyer said he believes the school team’s success last year combined with more attention to soccer in the World Cup will lead to more athletes coming out for the soccer team next year. Watching soccer played at the World Cup level is “like seeing a beautiful woman,” he said. He said he knows his players have been following the games. He believes Americans have been watching the games who had no previous connection to soccer. “They see a lot of action with no breaks like in football,” he said. It s commercial-free, two hours of entertainment. Soccer is on the move already. Now it’s moving faster, he added. Dennis and Cheryl Fairbrother have a satellite dish. “We’ve been watching more TV and drinking more beer," Mr. Fairbrother said recently. He and his children were also out for the four-on-four tournament in Culpeper this weekend. Kennv and Maggie Rogers TV only gets one PBS station clearly. They have been finding other places to watch games and also following the games in the daily newspaper. Mr. Rogers said soccer fever has his boys playing in the yard constantly. For his birthday, Mr. Rogers’s father sent him a box of tapes of the games they had missed. Mr. Price said he hopes the World Cup will help the Rappahannock Soccer League. He believes “the effect on the country will filter down into the county.” He noted that the United States promised to start a professional soccer league as a condition of hosting the World Cup. The professional teams will have farm teams like baseball, he believes, and he added one may well be in Culpeper. The automobile race track to be built in Culpeper near Brandy Station will also have 12 soccer fields, he said. Four will be developed for tournaments; and the other eight will be available for the Culpeper Soccer League. Mr. Price said colleges have approached Culpeper about hosting games at the new facility. The first four fields should be ready by the fall of 1995, he said. Mr. Price said he has enjoyed watching the games on TV and has seen some on tape. “I think it’s been Campers Enjoy Tech's Soil Camp By JONATHAN MOORE and NANCIE GALLEGOS Bimwlunnnfk News Contributing Writer* July 10th through the 15th we attended the Soil and Water Conservation Camp as representatives from the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. The district was also represented by Dana Dwyer from Elkwood. The camp was held at Virginia Tech. Campers stayed in one of the dorms. There were many interesting speakers at camp. They gave talks on what they do to conserve our environment. We received lots of reading materials and many handouts. We got hands-on experience with soil and water testing. We learned about the layers of soil, what a rainfall simulator does, and how to test for different aquatic animals. We had as many classroom experiences as dhands-on experiences in the field. We met many new friends from across Virginia and had a great time learning. a great help to American soccer the whole past month,” he said. He noted that ratings for televised games were good and the dreaded “hooligans” didn’t show up. Of the game at RFK, he said the Saudi Arabian team was most impressive. Their goalie made five or six incredible saves, and watching the game it was obvious that Saudi Arabia needed the win and Belgium did not, he said. As the United States has been influenced by soccer, he said, soccer will also be influenced by the United States. Like many fans he said he was sorry to see the championship game decided in a shootout. The rules may be changed in the next few years to allow for more high scoring games that will appeal to American fans, he said. Soccer Camp Scheduled Richard Price, head of the Rappahannock Soccer League, is encouraging the county’s young players to sign up for Bobby Gray’s Soccer Camp to be held in Culpeper August 1-6. Bobby Gray is the soccer coach at Mobile College. This camp has been held in Culpeper each summer for the past several years, he said. The camp will run from 9 a.m. until noon each day. Anyone from 5 to 18 is welcome to come. Registration costs $65. Registration forms are at Cabin Fever Books in Washington or call Mr. Price at 987-9428. Mr. Price also said the soccer league hopes to get off to an early start this year and will be registering players for the fall season July 30, August 6 and August 13 at RCHS from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Those registration forms are also available at Cabin Fever Books or at sign up. Ki Theatre Receives Arts Grant Ki Theatre received a grant of $3,800 from the Virginia Commission for the Arts for general operating support. This was apparently the only grant VCA awarded county arts programs for the current year. VCA announced $1.8 million in grants awarded statewide. Mark Jenkins Earns Eagle Rank By CINDY MAHAN BappalMundi !*«*• Staff Writer Last week, Mark Jenkins of Flint Hill was bestowed with the highest honor a Boy Scout can receive. He is now an Eagle Scout, the first one in Rappahannock County since Skippy Giles became an Eagle scout about four years ago. Jay Katzen attended the celebration for Marie at the Flint Hill Fire Hall, and said that he has three sons who are all Eagle Scouts. “I know w.iat a great achievement this is for you, Mark. You are our future and we cannot do much better than what we have in this room,” he said. Paul Nichols, Scoutmaster of Troop 36, said that he has 23 Boy Scouts on his roll, and that they have a lot of fun. He said of Pete Jenkins, Mark’s father, "This man wants everything natural; he is a naturalist. A lot of people think they are a naturalist, but he really is one.” He praised both of Mark’s parents, Sandra and Pete, for raising such a fine young man. Mark’s main Boy Scout project “I know what a great achievement this is for you, Mark. You are our future../’ —Jay Katzen was making a nature trail at the Rappahannock County Park on U.S. 211 outside Washington. County Administrator John McCarthy said, “I talked with Marie Jenkins about what would be good for him and good for the community. He had the idea of constructing a nature trail. Mark spent a great deal of effort in making it the kind of activity that everyone can eryoy. I am here to applaude Marie’s accomplishment and recommend it to you.” Sam Snead said it was a real honor for him to be in attendance. He said, “I am Mark’s Sunday school teacher and youth leader. It has been nice to see Mark develop over the years.” He told Mark that the comradeship of being an Eagle Scout is something that Mark would treasure throughout his life. He told Mark, “I am very, very proud of you.” Bud Brune, a Flint Hill resident who also attained the honor of Eagle Scout, told Mark, UI know what it takes to get the honor you have tonight. You are really a fine example. Welcome.” / Rappahannock Newt Staff Photo/Cmdy Mahan At the Flint Hill Firehall new Eagle Scout Mark Jenkins is flanked by his Scoutmaster Paul Nichols and his mother Sandra Jenkins. 1 x Have something to say about public issues?

►Council From Page A-l should reflect that the letter which Mayor Willis had sent out was to have been brought back to the present meeting before being sent out. He also asked that any written report or letter in the future be shown to all members of the council before being sent out. In other business, Mr.Zumwalt said that he had checked into a sound system for the Town Hall. He said that Radio Shack had an amplifier, recording machine and four microphones for $400. An extra four microphones would cost an additional $100. Mr. Zumwalt was given permission to see if the system could be tried out for a 30 day period before purchasing it. Mr. Zumwalt also said that he planned to have regular office hours in the Town Hall from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30, Monday through Friday. He stated that he wanted to make up a manual for the members of the Town Council, stating duties, etc. Mayor Willis agreed that was a good idea. Council member Janice Moffett reported that two sign applications l were approved at the last ARB meeting. Two signs were approved for Donna Kevis at the Gay St. Inn, and two signs for The Rappahannock Chiropractic Clinic in the Clopton House. Mr. Gooch said that he wished to retire as the recycling coordinator for the town, and would like to see recycling containers, especially for cans and glass, set out around the town. He said that the green glass section of the recycling bins near the Washington Fire Hall is often overflowing, and that he hauls the overflow to Amissville every Saturday. Mayor Willis brought up the subject of the proposed tower to be built by Cellular One for servicing the Sheriffs Department and cellular telephone customers, and asked for comments from the audience. Robin Purnell said that she wondered about the electromagnetic field and health effects from it. Bill Young wondered about TV reception being affected. t Peter Kramer said, “My understanding is that in the next few years there will be a satellite solution to this.” Frank Reynolds said that MCI had wanted to put a 250 foot tower on top of Bessie Belle Mountain, but ran into a stone wall. Mayor Willis asked if anyone had a problem with the tower aesthetically. Mr. Zumwalt commented that the proposed tower is half the height of the Washington Monument, and would have a red light (Hi top. UI think it is an abomination,” he said. Mr. Reynolds said, “The Board of Supervisors knows it is a big issue. I do not think it is proper to take a firm final position. If a special use permit is applied, you will hear it. You cannot grant it unless they get a variance from the BZA.” Ed Barton said, “Why would we want to put an eyesore like that in the middle of a historic district?” Council member Steve Critzer said, “We should point out that the Town Council supports public safety but we should look into alternatives to the tower.” 1 THE PENTAGON HAD THREE SIDES IT WAS CALLED TRIGON.

Mr. and Mrs. Kellert are the winemakers. Their son A1 helps with any mechanical problems which arise with the winemaking or other vineyard equipment. Their daughter Amy, a student at the University of Virginia, helps on weekends with tastings and tours in the winery. Everyone pitches in during harvest time and with other vineyard duties, such as pruning or tying up the vines. Angie Clark, a recent graduate of RCHS, also helps out in the tasting room on weekends. Mr. Kellert said that all the1 grapes are harvested by hand. Many of the large California vineyards use machines for harvesting. The Kellerts try to begin harvesting at sunup in order to finish by noon, to avoid the hottest part of the day. Last year they had help from the youth group at their church in Warrenton. Chardonnay is usually the first grape to be harvested, beginning in late July. The red grapes are picked last. The just-picked grapes go through a de-stemmer and press, then into stainless steel tanks or oak barrels for fermenting and further winemaking processes. The bottling is done on the premises by the KeUerts. They have produced 150 cases of the Vidal Blanc, and expect to have 100 cases of the 1993 Chardonnay. Gray Ghost, named after Col. John Mosby, is the second winery to open in Rappahannock County. The other one is Farfelu, in Flint Hill. Gray Ghost is open for tastings, sales and tours of the winery from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Monarchs Split Games The Rappahannock Monarchs split a double header with the Woodstock Raiders Sunday in Apple Valley Baseball League action. Rapp took a loss in the opener 133. Highlights for Rapp were Reggie Williams with a two-run homer and two singles by Vincent “Pops” Aylor. Rapp came back to bring home the second game 5-3. Bob Howard led Rapp with a three-run double, and once more “Pops” Aylor came through with a double and a single. Luther Alexander was the winning pitcher. * This ends the regular season. Rapp ended up tied for second place with New Market, but New Market defeated Rapp three games to one during regular season play. This gives New Market second place and the home field advantage. The playoffs begin Saturday July 23 at 2 p.m. at Rebel Park in New Market. They will continue at RCHS Sunday at 2 p.m. Teacher Selected Brion Patterson, physics and chemistry teacher at Rappahannock County High School, is one of 12 Virginia teachers selected as state finalists in the 1994 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching. The teachers will each receive a $750 award from the National Science Foundation. The Virginia finalists are eligible for the national Presidential Awards, which are announced in the fall. A national selection panel will meet in Washington and name one person in mathematics and one in science from both the elementary and secondary levels from each state or jurisdiction. Funded by the NSF, the Presidential Awards program has identified superior science and mathematics teachers since 1983. Teachers must have spent at least five years in the classroom and can be nominated by students, parents, administrators or colleagues.

* • Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News Real Estate Classifieds WEDNESDAY, JULY 20,1994 100 Years Bring Changes to Skyland By CHARLES FRANCIS Rappahannock N*w« Contributing Writer The 12-year-old boy had no idea one of his toes had just been lopped off by a jagged pipe. His foot was numb after standing in frigid spring water running below a summer ice pit. “Your foot! It’s bleeding!” screamed the children as they scattered for help across the rustic mountaintop Blue Ridge resort. Little Wallace Dyar was thrown into the back of the buckboard used to ferry guests up and down the steep mountain road for the three-hour trip to Luray and medical help. Weeks passed that summer of 1920 before Wallace recovered sufficiently to make the long trip back up to Stony Man Camp where his Uncle George ran the magical kingdom called Skyland. Skyland! A place where grownups lived in. log cabins, dressed up like cowboys and Indians, and summered high above the clouds. Young Dyar, now toeless, was convinced the fun would be over for him. Little did he know. He made it back just in time for Uncle George’s annual Masquerade Ball. “The Masquerade Ball will take place each season on or about August 20th. A group of judges will award prizes for the most beautiful, the most artistic and the most comical costumes.. .and numbers of prizes for the various children’s costumes,” read a Skyland brochure in 1920. Forgetting his cares, Wallace was partying at Skyland now. The bark-covered dining hall was festooned with dozens of hand-painted Japanese lanterns, the whole room bathed in the glow of flickering, blue acetylene gas lights. Two hundred guests from places as far away as Texas and New York danced to the music of a full orchestra, after feasting on “White Oak Canyon Trout.” Masquerading as a wounded soldier on crutches back from the Great War, Wallace won the prize that , summer night so long ago. Somewhat older now, Wallace J. Dyar, nephew of George Freeman Pollock, shared his memories of Uncle George and Skyland, at the 100th Anniversary of Stony Man Camp held last Saturday at Skyland by the Shenandoah National Park and the ARA Virginia Sky-Line Company. Anniversary open houses are usually upbeat occasions. This one had its punch and cookies. But it also was a time for somber reflection about just how deadly serious are the threats to Pollock’s life work and his beloved Shenandoah Park. i It was a good thing Wallace Dyar’s presentation was in the form of a personal recollection. “I will spare you a recounting of the history,” he said. “Plenty has been said and written about all of that.” One would have been hard put to tell this crowd anything they didn't already know about Pollock and the park. Gathered to honor Skyland’s 100th were people like park historians Darwin Lambert and Jack and Carolyn Reader. Freeman Pollock autobiographer Stuart Brown was there signing copies of his book Skyland. The older gent wearing a cowboy hat was Ather Sisk, a retired stonemason who helped his father Charlie Sisk build the incomparable stone lodge called Massanutten, the private residence of Pollock and his wife Addie. Ather went from this work to building the stone walls on Skyline Drive itself. Mr. and Mrs. James Lee from Blainesville were there. Mr. Lee waited on tables at Skyland in 1925. But his real claim to fame was he played the slide-horn in an all brass band at one of Pollock’s bonfires. The owners of Luray Caverns, Rebecca and Robert Graves, were on hand. “No human tongue can properly convey to the mind of the reader their beauty,” Pollock wrote Photos courtesy of Shenandoah National Park Massanutten Lodge, built in 1911 as the home of George Freeman and Addie Pollock, is the only one of the original buildings still standing. Digit Recovered Remarkably By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Neva SUIT Writer Digit, who belongs to the Kevis family in Washington and had an accident last winter which put her out of commission for a while, is back on her four paws again and making the rounds about town. She had dislocated her spine due to a running accident, and could barely stand, let alone walk, for several months. Her spine is nearly straight now, and though she is not 100 percent healed, she is definitely back on the Washington canine social scene. As many readers may recall, an article about Digit, a beloved dog of many residents of Washington, was published last March. The prognosis for Digit was not the best, and her owners were mighty worried. Digit needed assistance to get around the house, to her food and water bowls, and outside for necessary trips. But now the news is good. Digit is finally able to get around well enough that she can be her sociable self again. According to owner Donna Kevis, she is back on her morning rounds, visits Ray Gooch next door, has been to the thrift shop many times, and frequently drops in on her best friend, Lulu, who lives with her owner Phyllis Marriott at the Foster-Harris House. Before her accident, however, Digit would jump the fence in order to visit Lulu. Because she can no longer accomplish that feat, or do stairs, Mrs. Kevis calls ahead to Ms. Marriott when she sees Digit heading in that direction. Ms. Marriott can then open the gate to allow Digit to enter. Digit also cavorts with the three DeBergh dogs, Woodoo, Shep and Bo, who come to work with Jimmy DeBergh. His office is across the street from the Revises. She is anxiously waiting for the new school year to start, so she can include the bus stop on her list of visits, to get dog biscuits from the local children. Mrs. Kevis said, “We give a lot of credit to Diane Welty. I think the Feldenkrais which she did on Digit kept her muscles from atrophying. She is really walking well now. ” Rappahannock News Staff Phote/Cindy Mahan Kate Kevis stands with an almost recovered Digit. about Luray caverns in a hyper-selling brochure. “No pen can do them justice...no photograph or painting can give but a faint idea..” The Graves, like all of us, surely owe him one. Who was this George Pollock? I asked one of the asembled experts. “A nut!” he replied and quickly asked not to be identified. “He spent every nickel he ever had on Skyland.” George Freeman Pollock was a nut when it came to his vision of the private Skyland kingdom that he was instrumental in turning into America’s Shenandoah National Park. The first time he saw the view from Stony Man Peak, Pollock lost it. “I raved and shouted and would have yodeled...Then and there I made up my mind to consecrate my life to the development of this, my father’s land,” he wrote. In 1894 Pollock led his first small group up the trail to a collection of tents with chairs and cots. As the years went by, Skyland grew to span some 6,000 acres with 50 rustic cabins, 15 acres of camp gardens, a dining room and amusement hall. All of this and everyone energized by his famous bugle call. He invented tourism in the region. But it was a tourism grounded in a conservationist’s values. He worried in a letter written in 1920 that “in the next year 20 mills will be in operation...Alas for the beautiful timbered sections in these wonderful mountains, which are not protected from destruction by G.F.P.—they have to go. The Stony Man lands will remain.” More and more Pollock saw himself as a protector as well as a promoter. Concerned that timber interests or mountain people would chop down the magnificent Eastern Hemlock trees near Skyland, he and his wife purchased the grove of virgin hemlocks now known as “The Limberlost.” Today those hemlocks are in trouble. Park Superintendent Bill Wade spoke passionately about the damage being caused them by a critter called the hemlock wooly adelgid. “It doesn’t take a great leap in logic,” he said, “to recognize how these trees may be succumbing because of other factors than just the adelgid.” Superintendent Wade was referring to the air pollution that is enveloping the park. "Pollock would not be real happy today,” he said. “Pollock celebrated the view. Today that view is unacceptable,” It did look white, impenetrable, glaring, like L.A.’s San Fernando Valley, not our Shenandoah. The fact is park visibility is down some 60 percent since the late 1940s as a result of burning fossil fuels— the cars, the power plants, the urban assault on this natural environment. Actually, the park’s Julie Thomas said, the 60 percent is for year round. Visibility in summer is off 80 percent. Elizabeth Haskell, former secretary of natural resources for Virginia and part-time Rappahannock resident, minces no words. “The park is environmentally threatened. It is essential to this region’s econ omy. So all of us are economically threatened as well,” she said. ' A new organization is being; formed called the Friends of Shenandoah National Park, headed up by. Steve Coleman. Tying the chat; lenges of Pollock’s time to those of; our own, he said, "Shenandoah is a; gift, a natural gift, but a lot of people! had to fight for it. In Pollock’s time! schoolchildren from across the stat^; of Virginia collected their nickels;and dimes to help pay for the ere-’ ation of the park. We must recreate! that spirit. This park will no longer survive without help from us all.” i The new Friends group will help with public education and outreach as well as attract funds and volunteers to help meet critical park needs. Contributions may be sent to Friends of Shenandoah National Park, Route 4, Box 348, Luray, Va. Mr. Pollock, sound the bugle! Wallace Dyar reminiceses about his childhood at Skyland. 'Venus Jones' Releases First CD By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Julie Coon and Vincent Day of Venus Janes have recently released their very first CD, entitled “Somebody Like You.” The CD contains their original rock and roll music. They have been writing music and performing together since1983. Other members of the group Venus Jones have come and gone, but Mrs. Coon and Mr. Day have always remained. Because they both have families, the idea of producing a CD and cutting down on the time performing, along with late hours, was desireable, said Mr. Day. Mrs. Coon lives in Castleton with her husband, Howard, and their four children. Mr. Day lives in Sperryville with his wife, Dinah, and their two children. The two longtime residents of Rappahannock have included all original songs on the CD, most of which were written by Mr. Day. Mrs. Coon does the vocals and a little percussion; Mr. Day sings and plays rhythm guitar and lead guitar. Robert “Smiggy” Smith contributed some bass, keyboard and lead guitar on the CD, and also recorded it in his studio in Brandy Station. Many locals know Smiggy as a member of the band “The Okays.” Mrs. Coon said, “Smiggy is very, very good at what he does,” and highly recommends his recording studio. “He’s a magician,” said Mr. Day. Alter the CD was recorded, it was mixed at Bias Studio in Springfield, then sent on to a manufacturer. It is also available in cassette form. Other locals also worked on the CD. Bob Fulk did the artwork and Bob Burgess shot the photo. Chris White sang some back-up vocals with Mrs. Coon, and drummer James Vaughn from Front Royal also contributed his talents. Their independent record company is called “53 Twin,” as they were both bom in 1953. The two do all of their own promotional work and have a poster being printed. They have sent copies of the CD to several established record companies, and are distributing it through Plan 9 Record stores in Richmond and Charlottesville, Spencer’s in Charlottesville, and Earth Gallery and Mountainside Market in Washington. “We are concentrating mostly on the Washington, D.C., Charlottesville and Richmond areas for distribution,” said Mr. Day. Selections from the CD may be heard on WHFS (99.1 FM) in the Washington, D.C. listening area, and WTJU (91.1 FM), the University of Virginia station based in Charlottesville. While visiting in New York last week, Mr. Day dropped off a few CD’s at a record store there. Mr. Day said that he has played with all the rock and rollers around Rappahannock County, and that he got a lot of experience working with other musicians, such as the Okays. The two are already at work on their next CD. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Vincent Day peddles his recently released CD. Program of Videos Offered The public is invited to join the participants and their families for an informal showing of the videos produced by participants in Ki Theatre’s second Summer Youth Program Saturday, July 30, at 10a.m. at Blackwater Homestead. Teenagers from Rappahannock, Madison, Culpeper and Warren counties will begin their week of making video movies this coming Monday. During the week they will learn the basics of camera work, shooting techniques, editing and special effects. They will also be acting and directing for the camera and developing scripts for video. The one-week workshop is being directed by Sharon Wyrrick assisted by Rob Sherwood. Both are county residents. Ms. Wyrrick has received awards in dance, film and video.

It is a "thing of beauty and a joy forever.” Aside from its beauty, that must be experienced and not defined, the butterfly carries on its wings a deeper message, captured by Richard Bach in his book Illusions, “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly." The butterfly speaks to us of a world that often experiences its greatest grow th through change, and of the fact that even while we crawl through life today, there shall be wings tomorrow. The tragedies of today, the hardships of the moment, the tears of the hours, are but God re-forming us into new creatures with fresh wings of the morning.

Some grants require local agencies to raise matching funds. Others require an organization, like the United Way, to act as go-between or sponsor. Lee pledges his administration to help with these tasks. Lee, who will be 40 in October, is a member of the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce, the Culpeper Rotary Club, the Culpeper Country Club, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Myrtle Lodge . 50, Sons of the American Legion Foundation, and the Cavalry Museum of Culpeper.

Hyacinth Culture i By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Busy poring over bulb catalogs and making decision for fall planting? Consider putting in hyacinths this year. Hyacinth bulbs are planted in the fall and require very little maintence. Hardy perennials, hyacinths will continue to bloom for several years, although the quality of the flower decreases each year in many areas. Plant When Soil Is About 60 F Plant hyacinth bulbs when the soil temperature has fallen to 60 F. In Virginia, this generally occurs from October to early December. Hyacinths prefer partial shade. Avoid planting them in areas that receive direct midday sun. Good drainage is essential. Break up and loosen the soil to a depth of ten inches. If the soil is mostly clay, start preparing your site one or two years ahead of time by mixing in an organic material such as compost (up to 30 percent in volume). Bulbs will survive better in well-prepared, loose soil. Plant hyacinths, tulips, and other large bulbs eight inches deep (from ground level to the base of the bulb). Space them six inches apart. Once the bulbs are in position, cover them with about three to four inches of soil, and water the area. Add the remaining soil, and water again. Then cover the area with a three-inch layer of organic mulch. Keep the soil moist, particularly during dry spells. Plan Method of Fertilizing , Fertilization improves bulb performance and encourages longvity. Two fertilizing methods are recommended. One utilizes a sulfurcoated, slow-release, complete fertilizer incorporated into the rooting area at the rate of one rounded tablespoon per square foot. A single application will nourish the bulbs throughout the fall, winter and spring. The other method is an application of 8-8-8 (one level tablespoon) or 10-10-10 (one rounded teaspoon) fertilizer per square foot in the fall. Apply again in the spring when the first shoots break through the ground. Many gardeners prefer to use bone meal as a slow-release source of phosphorus for their bulbs. However, due to the extended processing of bones used to produce bone meal, available phosphorus is significantly reduced and should not be counted on as the only source of phosphorus. Bring a soil sample into your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office to determine if the soil contains nutrients for optimal plant growth. Plant Near Shrubbery Or Ground Covers Avoid the temptation to plant hyacinths in stiff rows and stark geometric patterns. They look best when nestled among shrubbery or ground covers or interplan ted in clumps with other bulb^ flowers. Since hyacinths grow about ten inches tail, they are especially effective in combination with daffodils and tulips. If hyacinths are used in borders, plant them two or three rows deep, rather than in a single row. Mix and match colors for maximum effect.
