Amissville Ruritan Club Welcomes Disney Park By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer About 25 people attended a Disney presentation at the Amissville Ruritan Club’s meeting last Thursday. Neil Pender, a Disney employee from Prince William County, showed slides and a short video having to do with the proposed Disney’s America. He said Disney has spent a great deal of time studying the transportation issue, and that 75 percent of those people travelling to the park would be reverse commuters. Reverse commuters, he said, are those drivers who are driving in the opposite direction of most of the traffic, such as people driving to work in the morning or home after work. Mr. Pender also said that Disney is exploring the possibility of mass transit, including Metro and shuttle buses. Disney expects to have 5.3 million visitors during its opening year, and 6.3 million annually in following years. In comparison, the Museum of American History hosts 6 million visitors annually, the Air and Space Museum 7.5 million, and Potomac Mills Mall 30 million. Mr. Pender also said that the park will be built over a 10 to 15 year period, and that Dis d ney plans to construct a visitor center on the Disney’s America property promoting area attractions. Construction of the park, if approved, would probably begin during the last quarter of 1995, he said. Disney vendor packets were handed out to several people at the meeting who were in-, terested. Mr. Pender said that 70 percent of vendors will probably come from witfun a 100mile radius of the park. Rob Sherwood asked Mr. Pender if there was a concern about getting water to the area. Mr. Pender replied that the plant was being expanded to handle more. Another question put to Mr. Pender was “Is there any assurance that it will not become bigger than it appears it will be?” Mr. Pender replied that Disney is not interested in buying any more land. He said that the land purchased will be enough on which to construct a 104-acre park and allow plenty of land for buffers. Responding to other questions from the audience, Mr. Pender said that there are 16,000 parking spaces planned, and that he did not know yet what the daily ticket price would be, but that it would be a flat rate good for the entire day. Elementary In School Suspension Decision Delayed ■v tiMMUl By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board approved Superintendent David Gangel’s plan to leave undecided whether a new teacher to be hired will teach kindergarten or run an “alternative education” program. “We need both; but we have enough money to fund one,” Dr. Gangel said. Dr. Gangel said the school system will conduct interviews trying to find a teacher who can handle either assignment. He said he believes this is possible. If there are 92 students for kindergarten by September 9, there will be a fifth section of kindergarten. However, if there are fewer kindergarten students the teacher will handle alternative education, he r said. There are currently 73 students registered for kindergarten with about 10 more expected, he added. “Alternative education is for students who have difficulty performing in a regular classroom,” he said. It would be instead of long-term or short-term suspensions, he explained. He said in past years students have been in the office forr short-term (two to three day) suspensions. “It has been less than ideal,” he said. “We have increasing difficulty working with elementary-age children; there are more and more prob-' lems,” he said. He added that this problem is not unique to Rappahannock; all school systems are having See Schools, Page A-8 i Farm Show Winners Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Zack Corbin took third place in novice showmanship with his market hog.

T Planners To Advertise Greenhouse Restrictions By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer At last Wednesday’s meeting members of the Planning Commission decided to advertise changes to the county zoning ordinance to not allow wholesale greenhouses in most residential zones. Currently “Nurseries (greenhouse, mostly wholesale)” are allowed by right in all zoning districts except mobile home parks and highway commercial. A few residents of Flint Hill objected to the Flint Hill Herb and Flower Farm on Route 647 just outside town. Last month Werner Krebser, who represents Wakefield District including Flint Hill, asked County Administrator John McCarthy to bring in proposed changes to the zoning ordinance. Mr. McCarthy recommended requiring a special use permit in Rural Residential, R-2, and Village Residential zones and submitted a group of four “additional standards” for such operations in addition to the general standards for special use permits. The standards would have said that structures used in the business have to be 50 feet or more from any adjacent residentially zoned property. Such structures must be screened from neighboring residential property by “plantings, fencing or other means as is deemed appropriate by the Board.” Another proposed standard stated, “All mechanical equipment related to the use shall be effectively screened such that odors, noise and/or discharge shall be minimized as is deemed necessary by the Board.” The fi nal proposed requirement was that the owner must be able to document that sales are “mostly wholesale.” Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, representing Jean Lillard, said the Flint Hill operation had the “potential to be a major commercial undertaking.” He said it could grow to be like the commercial greenhouses located on Route 3 east of Culpeper. “The best way is not to allow it at all.” Doug Baumgardner He said Ms. Lillard was concerned about “the impact, if it is unregulated, it could have on residential and village areas.” He said requiring a special use permit with general and additional standards is the “only appropriate way to handle it.” However, he said they were concerned about the vagueness of requiring that it be “mostly wholesale.” Phil Irwin said, “A greenhouse is like a chicken house. There is almost the same intrusion of commercial [business] rather than agricultural.” Peggy Ralph said she lives across the street from the entrance to the greenhouse. “I’m concerned with the traffic,” she said. “It is a narrow road with a blind curve. There are large trucks coming out that are not able to maneuver the sharp turns. I would not like to see this increase.” Dr. Krebser said the special use permit approach was “the wrong way” to deal with the issue. He said the county should “not allow greenhouses to begin with. If you put in all these stipulations, how is a man going to navigate all this? Let it go into agriculture where it belongs. There is noise, sprays.. Just take it out of RV, R-2 and RR and put it in Agricultural or Conservation districts where it belongs.” Mr. Baumgardner said he agreed, “The best way is not to allow it at aJl.” The planners agreed to advertise changes to the zoning ordinances to allow wholesale nurseries and greenhouses in Rural Residential zones, which have a density requirement of one house for five acres, with a special use permit and general standards but no specific ones. They would not be allowed in village residential or R-2 zones at all, and they would be allowed by right in Agricultural and Conservation zones. If the changes are approved by the Planning Commission in August and the Board of Supervisors in September, the Flint Hill Herb and Flower Farm would be “grandfathered” in because it was there before the zoning change, but it would not be able to expand. Mr. McCarthy showed the members a simple folding brochure designed to be sent to people who buy Conservation zoned land in Rappahannock. He said he would present it formally next month. The planners recommended that the county work with the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection to produce such a brochure to discourage building on ridge tops and building driveways that erode. Members Sharon Pierce and David Fannon reported on the Strategic Vision Conference they attended at Airlie along with Mr. McCarthy. Ms. Pierce said no one from Prince William or Culpeper counties attended. She said she was impressed with “how many things we’re doing right.” Mr. Fannon said the theme was the “effects of development on rural counties.” Mr. McCarthy said one discussion impressed him with%ow much the pressures being felt in Rappahannock County mimic national trends. He said areas beyond suburbia, about one to one and a half hours commuting time or about 75 miles from any major city attract retirees, then boomers, then commerce and industry looking for lower labor cost. The influx is followed by a fight about values, architecture, congestion and stress on public services. “Every one of those, I said, "That’s Rappahannock,’” Mr. McCarthy said. Ms. Pierce said the conference organizers hope to produce a brochure promoting tourism in the Piedmont area. She asked if the county could,contribute $500 for its share of the cost of producing See Zoning, Page A-8

On Appeal, Man Found Not Guilty in Dog Shooting By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer ! In a misdemeanor appeal trial in ' Rappahannock County Circuit Court ;last week, James Costello, 45, of ; Huntly, was found not guilty of maliciously shooting a dog. Mr. Costello I had been found guilty of the charge ! in General District Court on June 7. ; The scene of the shooting actu;ally took place in Fauquier County, just across the Rappahannock River iin Huntly, which is the county boundary. However, under Virginia ;law, explained Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, a potential crime may be prosecuted in either bordering county if it occurred within !300 yards of the boundary line. [ According to testimony, the shoot; ing did occur well within 300 yards of > the boundary. ! The shooting occurred on April 1. i Frank Keyser of Luray was coon ! hunting with three dogs on property ; belonging to Mary Jane Swift, which • is adjacent to Mr. Costello’s prop! erty in Huntly. Molly Baldwin, a I neighbor of Mr. Costello’s, testified, ;“We heard quite a commotion. It • sounded like two or three dogs. I thought maybe Mr. Costello’s animals (cattle) were in trouble. I felt like something was hurt out there. I called him and said they might be threatening his animals. ” Mrs. Baldwin said that she heard Mr. Costello tell his wife, “Judy, get my gun.” Mrs. Baldwin’s husband,, Michael, also testified that he heard the dogs. “We heard dogs howling and barking, coming from near the river, f We were concerned for our goats. I saw some dogs running around on the other side of the river. They made an awful lot of racket and it sounded like something was being hurt,” said Mr. Baldwin. Testifying about the telephone call from Mrs. Baldwin, Mr. Costello said, “Mrs. Baldwin called. I understood her to say the dogs were killing the cattle. I had a lot of young calves. I told my wife to get my gun.” Mr. Costello further testified, “I saw the dog about 20 feet from the creek. The dog was running. I hollered, pulled the trigger and shot the dog.” Mr. Costello said that he then called the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department because he knew Ray Pullen, the dog warden. He said that he wanted someone to be a witness after he had shot the dog. None of the witnesses who testified, including Mr. Costello, said that they had seen any of the cattle in the field that night. Mr. Costello admitted that he had a conversation with Ray Pullen a few weeks before the shooting about under what circumstances a dog could be shot. Mr. Pullen told him that a dog could be shot if it was seen to be chasing someone’s animals. Mr. Luke’s closing argument began with the question “Was the dog shot with malice? The only thing that led this defendant to believe that this dog was in his cattle was one telephone call. The dog was doing what it was bred to do: chase a coon. He knew under what circumstances he could take this dogs life. There was no provocation in this case. He acted too quickly. If he had waited a few minutes longer, the dog might still be alive.” Doug Baumgardner, Mr. Costello’s attorney, said, “The issue in this case has to do with malice. How did the circumstances appear to the defendant? Mrs. Baldwin said the dogs were out there and killing something. Mr. Costello reported the shooting to the authorities himself. This is a law abiding citizen.” Judge W. Shore Robertson commented, “This is not an easy case. Venue and malice must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Venue and jurisdiction have been proved. The real heart of this case is whether the defendant maliciously shot this dog. In the mind of Mr. Costello, I do not think he had legal excuse to do what he did. I look upon the nature of the call from Mrs. Baldwin. I am going to give Mr. Costello the benefit of the doubt and find him not guilty.” Also in circuit court last Thursday, a trial date of Oct. 20 was set for James Franklin Butler, 33, of Culpeper. Mr. Butler was indicted in January, 1993, for grand larceny and concealing stolen property. He entered into a plea agreement with the Commonwealth which dismissed his grand larceny charge, but the plea agreement was withdrawn after Mr. Butler was arrested in two incidents since the plea agreement was made. Sylvia Davis, 44, of Warrenton, and Donna Sue Jackson, 28, of Warrenton, were both accepted into the CDI program in lieu of jail sentences. Both women had been found guilty of check forgery. M J I Soil Conservation Working ° i 1 1 3 American fanners have cut soil 'erosion by nearly one-third in the 10 ■years between 1982 and 1992, According to the 1992 National Re1 sources Inventory released July 13 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. f “The voluntary soil conservation .efforts of America’s farmers are paying big dividends,” said Jim Porterfield, American Farm Bureau Federation technical specialist for land and water resources. “The latest inventory shows that ^voluntary efforts such as conservation tillage, participation in the con.servation reserve program and .,other conservation efforts are reducing erosion to rates unheard of in the "-early 1980’s.” The inventory report found that total soil erosion on agricultural land dropped from 3.1 billion tons annually in 1982 to around 2.1 billion tons in 1992. “This report shows that voluntary conservation programs do work, and that mandatory ‘command and control’ programs are unnecessary,” said C. Wayne Ashworth, president of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation. “The news is particularly timely in that we’re beginning to discuss the 1995 Farm BUI, and some activist groups are already calling for mandatory pollution controls.” The inventory’s wetlands report also contained good news, Porterfield said. Between 1982 and 1992, agricultural activities led to an average annual loss of 50,000 acres IV III111 FARMCREDTR k "Financing ~ Country Living n Loans Available For: • Farms • Country Properties • Part-Time Farms • Estate Properties • Bare Land Tracts • Homes • Leasing • Construction of New Homes Warrenton i.gOO-559-1016 347-3344 Yes!

The report titled Educational Attainment in the United States: March 1993 and 1992 shows that a person with an associate’s degress can expect to earn over a million dollars in a lifetime and that amount increases with more education. “Persons with more education can expect even higher lifetime earnings,” says Robert Komiijsld, the report’s author. For example, a person with a professional degree can expect to earn more than twice the amount that a person with a bachelor’s earns—$3 million compared with $1.4 million. “And our country is more educated than ever,” Kominski says. . “The educational level of the adult population continued to rise in 1993. Four-fifths of all adults age 25 and over have completed high school; over one-fifth have completed a bachelor’s degree or more.

Smith, 17 yr*. Experience Disney Sends Last Rezoning Papers By SANDY HUME Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The Walt Disney Co. guaranteed that its Haymarket theme park would not be visible from the Manassas National Battlefield Park and that traffic levels would not exceed the company’s previous projections. In its seventh and final rezoning submission to Prince William County, Disney provided the most explicit review of its plans for the park yet, and made several pledges to minimize its influence on the surrounding region. The theme park proposal captured national attention in part because opponents, including several famous historians, passionately objected on the grounds that it would threaten nearby historic battlefields. By setting a height limit of 140 feet for the tallest of all structures on the 3,006 acre site, Disney officials believe that they can ensure that the theme park is in no way visible. The height limit had been 180 feet, but balloon tests revealed it to be too high. “Disney’s America will go the extra mile to respond to community concerns, minimize intrusion on our neighbors, and make sure the Park will not be seen from the Manassas Battlefield,” said Disney’s America director of development Dana Nottingham. “The project, seven miles from the entrance to the Manassas Battlefield Park, will be a sensitive neighbor to the Battlefield and other / historic sites.” The 140 foot limit will apply to only the central area of the park, where the actual attractions will be built. Surrounding areas, including those designated for office space, will have limits of 75 feet and lower. The imposition of a traffic cap provides that Disney will undertake no further development that will cause the number of daily car trips to and from the park to exceed 77,000. If that limit is reached, Disney will not develop anything further. i Nottingham hopes the traffic cap will “lay to rest wild speculation” about the number of vehicle trips the park will generate.'Tve never seen a developer provide such a cap and to our knowledge it’s unprecedented,” said Disney’s America vice president of development Tom Lewis. “It gives neighbors certainty about the maximum amount of traffic the project will produce.” The park will also have a 16,100 parking space limit for guests and employees. Nottingham and Lewis tipped their hand slightly on the contents of a transportation plan that will be unveiled in early September.

Only 10 percent of employees would travel in single occupancy cars under the plan. Disney conceded that the last zoning submission did not present anything “dramatically new and different,” as Nottingham put it, but did offer “a new level of specificity.” The usually-outspoken Disney foes reserved comment temporarily. The Piedmont Environmental CouncU’s Chris Miller said his organization would respond after the Prince William County’s planning staff released an analysis this week. One of the worst-case scenarios depicted by opponents for the development is of a massive commercialindustrial complex, a Tyson’s Comer on interstate 66. Asked if the height limit and cap on office space development of 630,000 square feet would preclude that level of development, Miller said, “I think that’s exactly what we’re looking at, to see if it’s really limiting them. ” TTie traffic cap left others unimpressed. Sandy Hillyer, director of the National Growth Management Leadership Project, said that the park will still double traffic flows on 1-66, which is already congested. “We don’t accept that it would all be counter-rush hour,” Hillyer said. “Along with the frustration factor associated with the park, it will put up more emissions, damaging air quality. And you have to consider what the future costs are going to be to improve [1-66].” Speaking of the improvements just underway, Hillyer said, “People’s lives aren’t going to get any easier, because Disney’s America is going to absorb and overwhelm those expansions.” Disney’s Nottingham said he did i not expect the release of detailed plans to appease critics, i “I don’t think for our opponents there will ever be enough detail,” he said. “They’re not concerned about detail, they’re concerned about the park going someplace else.” Correction i If you had trouble reconciling the photograph of the addition to the Faith Mountain Company on the front page of last week’s Rappahannock News with what you see when driving past it on the highway, it is probably because the picture was flip-flopped in the darkroom. Try picturing it with the left side on the right and visa-versa. The Rappahannock News regrets the mistake. l.

The statement will be presented to the Planning Commission at its August meeting. The statement begins, “The Bed and Breakfast Guild of Rappahannock County does not feel that the Disney theme park proposed to be built in Haymarket, Va, will .in any way enhance the business of our members. The Guild also does not believe that the park will increase tourist revenues for other Rappahannock County businesses.” The statement says Disney goers would seek less expensive food and lodging, such as chain motels and fast food. It notes that Disney is planning to appeal to families with children, while the local B & Bs appeal primarily to adult couples, “most trying to escape from their own children for an evening or weekend. They are willing to pay top dol-1 lar for first-class accommodations and dining, and are often seeking seclusion and a remembrance of romance.” It noted that about 66 percent of the customers of local B <$ Bs are from the Washington, D.C:J, Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland market area. 1 ■ The statement says other Rappahannock businesses could suffer from the Disney development. “The greatly increased traffic would make it even more difficult for anyone to reach Rappahannock businesses due to the gridlock which would be caused on 1-66. Thus the Disney development could actually decrease such existing business. Potential guests would be discouraged from seeking out Rappahannock County destinations already a Friday night problem.” , The B and B members note the ‘local growing hospitality industry” could die because it depends on marketing “open space, views, recreation, scenery, history and the ultimate escape destination of Rappahannock County.” Guild chairman Phil Irwin said the three newest bed and breakfast business in the county are not yet members of the guild and the country inns are not members, but he said it was quite remarkable that all 12 current members approved the statement as it was presented.

However, there was little followup at the July meeting, and the discussion of format was rather confusing. We hope Chairman Mike Massie will follow up on Frank Reynolds suggestion at the June meeting that the commission find a way to get the community involved in the review of the plan by starting tyith meetings at which the public is invited to discuss what they like about Rappahannock and how the plan can protect those things. Any discussion of the format to follow in actually writing the plan needs to come after such a discussion. i Also the other organizations that have been invited by Mr. Massie to present their group’s feelings of how the county should respond to development pressures dn our borders need to take advantage of the opportunity and enter the discussion. f i . ■ Farm Show Congratulations to Rappahannock’s many citizens young and not so young who did so well in the Culpeper, Madison ' and Rappahannock Farm Show.

Sheriff's Department Praised To the Editor Hats off to the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department, and in particular to Chief Deputy Ed Streapy’s swift and efficient investigation of the bizarre drive-by shooting incident that took place on Monday, July 18th at our mailbox on U.S. 522. Tracking down suspects with the limited information available was a difficult/ and tedious job, requiring him to spend considerable time after his normal working hours on this case. We need to be aware of how routinely our law enforcement personnel take personal responsibility like this in seeing a case through, and how putting on the badge means being on duty 24 hours a day. One of the best things about living in Rappahannock County is knowing we are small enough to care. CORY KORAL Huntly No, to Disney To the Editor' As a citizen concerned about the proposed Disney America theme park, I have a few comments to share in hopes of encouraging others to take action. Last- week my husband and I drove to Haymarket to participate in the first anti-Disney vigil, and I was truly moved by the collective spirit of the people that gathered for the event. There were Native Americans from across the country as well as people of all ages from Prince William and surrounding counties present to help safeguard our beautiful countryside from the proposed erroneous “educational” theme park. Building a park like this under the premise that it will serve to teach our children history is wrong. These parks have exceptional standards for creativity, but they have never been and are not qualified to teach history. Our neighboring, prominent city of Washington, D.C. and its surrounding suburbs are full of wonderful and often under-utilized resources for teaching history. Having our children learn about significant, 1 life-changing historical events through make-believe characters in unrealistic settings will confuse them and distort the truth. Together, we need to protect our natural, non-concrete, green environment. Our beautifiil countryside is an educational opportunity in itself. And, best of all, it’s free! Let’s protect it and allow our children to continue to learn from the remarkable lessons of nature that are offered to us. If you are interested in getting involved, mark your calendars for the Citizen’s March on Washington, on the Ellipse in D.C., September 17th at 9 a.m. For further information or to make donations please call PROTECT at 703-754-3910. Let’s invest in our environment and education and say “No to Disney” now. BRENDA VAN NESS Washington Disney Supported To the Editor: I was traveling around the region recently and as I -talked to people and told them I am from Haymarket, Virginia, I was shocked at their belief that Disney’s America was a terrible thing and how sorry they felt for us. I must say it made me mad enough to want to get involved and help Disney spread the truth about their project. I can not understand how so much misinformation has gotten into the public mind. Is someone doing this on purpose? It seems so obvious to me that the theme park and other development will be much better than what the property is now zoned for. BARBARA STATON HAYMARKET Gov. Allen's Presentation Dynamic To the Editor: Congratulations to Governor Goerge Allen for his dynamic and informative presentation to the recent Senate hearing on Disney’s America. Not only was the governor well prepared and concise, he handled himself masterfully when questioned by the hostile chairman Dale Bumpers. Bumpers was out of time, out of touch, and all alone. We, as Virginians, can be proud to have George Allen’s leadership and courage to promote healthy economic growth such as Disney’s America.

J Health Insurance Opposed To the Editor. Regarding health insurance, Augustus Johnson says in his letter of July 20 that “Employers who do not provide insurance are getting a free ride...” This idea is typical of the entire letter in that (1) read right side up, upside down, leftward, backward, or sideways, it has no basis whatever in fact, (2) if it did, there is still no reason to involve the Federal government in the situation, and (3) if there were, considering the gaggle ■ of fugitives from a Keystone Kops convention that is currently operating in the White House, do we really want to trust them with any problem that needs more thought than talk? EDITH POND Sperryville ■*l ' - _ ! Neighbors Helpful To the Editor: Sunday evening I was out trying to do my part to help the VDOT crews keep the roadsides mowed, when I let my garden tractor slip over the edge of an embankment while trying to dodge a tree branch. It was precarious! It seemed only a few seconds until a neighbor saw me and came to help. We were able to stabilize the tractor, but not move it. He left for his truck and tow rope, but before he could return, three men driving by offered to help. We were making some headway, but not quite able to clear the tractor when a fourth man seemed to appear from nowhere, brab the front end of the tractor, and I was back on the road. \ They all wore big grins and seemed to be as happy to help as I was to be helped. I’m a relatively new resident of Rappahannock County, have had many pleasant experiences with county residents and officials, and find it a continuing joy to live in a community where people eiyoy helping each other. I’m particularly grateful to my neighbor and the four men who stopped so quickly to help. DARROW KIRKPATRICK Amiss ville New Council Defended To the Editor: I read the lead article, the editorial, and the letters to the editor in last week’s Rappahannock News and would like to provide some comments. First I would note that the editorial was written less than three weeks into the new council’s work. The President of the United States gets 100 days. Here we appear to be very quick to judge. As a council, we’re a different group from those in the past. We wish to learn from the past, but we must adapt our own skills and talents to the job. Give us a chance. My second comment relates to the resolution of the previous Town Council that was rescinded. The resolution on the surface supports a reasonable concept .that the new treasurer needs to learn his job before turning it over to others. However, as it was interpreted at the council meeting by Ray Gooch and applied to every detail of the treasurer’s job, it took on the unreasonable role of perpetuating the long hours Brad Fisher spent on the job and/or constraining the ability of the Town Council to operate. The majority of the Town Council recognized this and voted to rescind the resolution, rather than maintaining it as a continuing basis for arguments. I believe the citizens of the town understand this. The resolution, as described in / the minutes to the April Town Council meeting, stated that the responsibilities and duties of the Treasurer should not be passed to a Town Administrator or other person. To my mind a Town Administrator, like a County Administrator, would assume significant decision-making and operational duties. The new Town Council, on the other hand, voted only to hire an administrative assistant who will fundamentally be a secretary and clerk. The administrative assistant will support all town offices, but will not assume the responsibilities and duties of any. The administrative assistant will additionally provide, for the council transitions, a degree of continuity in the town administration that Brad Fisher has provided for many years. The previous council said that the town should be run as a small business, and I would like to do it that way. For exactly the same duties the new administrative assistant will be asked to perform, the previous Town Council: • Paid Frank Reynold’s staff to prepare and submit newspaper advertisements, type letters, etc. • Paid John McCarthy’s staff to prepare advertisements, type minutes, mail notices, etc. • Paid a clerk to organize files, and • Paid the treasurer to perform numerous purely administrative tasks. v 1 Because the new treasurer, Mr. Zumwalt, has volunteered to receive no salary, I am confident that the net result of having an administrative assistant will be to save the town money. Mr. Gooch, who proposed and supports the resolution that was rescinded, Voted for the administrative assistant at the Town Council meeting of July 6, 1994. At the time he had the job description before him. A week later he reversed himself and challenged the job description, providing his interpretation of the resolution. Simply put, the council agreed with the concept of the resolution, but did not agree with Ray Gooch’s interpretation. The duties and responsibilities of the town treasurer are to see that the town is managed in a fiscally responsible manner, that the bills are paid on time, that the water bills are mailed, that funds due the town are collected, that taxes are paid, etc. Mr. Gooch implied that data must be personally entered in the computer by the treasurer, water bills personally printed and stuffed in envelopes, etc. I believe the treasurer’s responsibilities include personally overseeing these activities, reviewing the materials, directing their production, signing them, etc. His job includes the town’s financial decision-making and directive responsibilities. It does not have to include licking the postage stamps. Acceptance of a, philosophy that the treasurer must personally do all the data entry, etc. would virtually make an administrative assistant useless and place an excessive burden on an elected official who works voluntarily for this town. The previous Town Council approved an administrative assistant, although they did not hire one. Brad Fisher has long supported hiring one. He reiterated this to me in private meetings before and after the election and addressed it at Town Coucil during the review of the budget for his year. Several years ago he proposed and began receiving a salary for his position. He did this, in part, to encourage the town to become accustomed to paying for the extensive administrative services required. Those services go beyond what is reasonable to ask of volunteers. In relation to the transfer to the new council, I would note that Brad Fisher has been the one person who has generously offered his time, both to support Tom Zumwalt and me and to close out the books from the previous council. The town is, of course, continuing to pay his salary as a sensible way to support the transition. Tom and I have met with Brad frequently. Additionally, Tom has spent many hours alone at the Town Hall addressing the financial records and preparing for our audit. This effort began shortly after the election and continues. We know we need to learn our jobs. The statement in the newspaper that we are failing to seek the help of the previous council in learning our jobs is simply false. At the other extreme, the Rap pahannock News recommends that Dean Morehouse be extended as the See Letters, Page A-5 Out of the Attic Photo courtesy of Becky Gore Richard “Duck” and Becky Gore posed in front of his father’s car in Castleton in 1942. Two years later he was one of the men who landed on Omaha Beach on DDay. He returned to Rappahannock County to live.

►Letters From Page A-4 ; administrator of the water system. I ■ would note that I called Dean after I • filed for the election and asked for his support should I win. On election ! day I stopped competing with Dean. ; I met with him in mid-June at my request to discuss the Fourth of July celebration. On the Fourth of July I met with him to discuss his continuing role in the water system installation. I was aware that I had to learn about the system. I also appreciated the fact that Brad Fisher and Dean have a personal involvement in the system. At our meeting Dean offered to continue his interactions ' with the project contractor and engineer and his efforts to obtain funding. He indicated that he was not seeking authority to commit the town to funding obligations. At the July 6 meeting of the Town Council I asked that Dean’s : authority in these two areas be extended until the August council meeting and then be reviewed. At the time I noted my need to learn. I also noted that monthly construction meetings had been held with the contractor, engineer, and funding agency since the election. Some important decisions relative to the town were made at those meetings, and I indicated that it would have been helpful to the council transition if I had been invited. I was not. I attended the next construction meeting at 10 a.m. on July 14. I fortunately arrived early and was able to attend a 9 a.m. preliminary meeting as well. After the meetings I was told explicitly by the representative of Farmer’s Home Administration that it was my responsibility as mayor, as both Dean and I knew, to sign and be responsible for funding documentation. Based on this responsibility, I must be involved with the water system. I appreciate Dean’s support and interest and hope it will continue. What our relationship will be is something he and I need to work out with council’s approval. / To summarize the above paragraphs, the critics of the council are pushing to make the treasurer perform every detail of the town’s financial work. On the other hand, the newspaper and others are proposing that someone else should take care of the mayor’s responsibilities for the water system. I see these views as grandly inconsistent. My goal is that there be moderation, that we work somewhere in between these proposed extremes, that the mayor and the treasurer meet their responsibilities, but do so with the help and support of others, both paid and voluntary, as appropriate. In doing this, I ask'the support of the previous Town Council. Two weeks ago I asked Frank Reynolds to write them a letter asking that all town documentation and other items be returned to help us prepare for the audit. I followed that with another letter. The effort has only been partially successful, and I would like to reiterate our need. I would also appreciate the continuing help of the previous council, as well as any words of caution and advice they might be willing to provide.^ As the Rappahannock News said in its editorial, we need to stop refighting the election. It is a noble thought, but not supported by their editorial policy. I’ve been trying to stop re-fighting the election, but I can’t do it alone. Our system appropriately permits the politics of the minority to be voiced. They have clearly indicated that they intend to do so. This is a process that the town has not had to experience in the past. I believe the citizens of the community understand what is going on —but they deserve better. STEWART WILLIS Mayor, Washington Party Structure Will Survive ' • i By JOHN GOOLRICK The question is whether the independent challenges of two aspirants to U.S. Senate to nominees of the i Republican and Democratic Party will cause long term damage to the state party structure. While parties may be declining and Virginia has always historically had a large body of voters who call themselves independents, I don’t believe the four-way race will cause that much damage. That may not be the conventional wisdom since some well-known pundits are saying the fact the state’s senior senator, a Republican is backing an independent against the nominee of his own party will cause a wide rift in GOP ranks. And the same pundits claim that the independent challenge for a former Democratic governor to an incumbent Democratic senator who is also a former governor will cause warfare within that party. No doubt between now and November there will be what amounts to civil war within each of the major parties as many Republicans choose up sides between Oliver North, the party nominee, and Marshall Coleman, a former attorney general, and Democrats choose between Senator Charles S. Robb and former Governor L. Douglas Wilder who has chosen to run as an independent. But my thought is that the Virginia senatorial race, which has attracted nationwide attention, is one Virginia Through Both Barrels of those phenomena like Haley’s Comet—it will be a long time before you see its like again. The circumstances are unique because of the widespread notoriety of Robb and North, their great name recognition and the fact that a majority of voters disapprove of their past lifestyles and associations. True, if John Warner seeks reelection in 1996 he may have to run as an independent to get his name on the ballot since he has now chosen not to support two Republican statewide nominees two years running. I That could make for a three-way Senate race in 1996, but it would be unlikely to have the same emotionpacked impact of the present race. Certainly, Larry King would be unlikely to offer the candidates 90 minutes of prime time television for a debate. The effects of 1994 will linger considerably longer, I suspect, in the Republican Party than the Democratic Party since the factional ! fighting between the GOP economic conservatives and social conservatives will continue to cause divisions. The Democrats, unlike the past when the conservative and liberal wings fought fiercely, seem to have settled on a policy of nominating candidates who are to the left of center on social issues but preach fiscal responsibility. Yet in the aftermath of this year’s race, whatever the outcome, one suspects the young Republican Governor will start marshaling his troops for an all-out effort in 1995 to capture control of the House of Delegates and State Senate. How you ask will this be possible given the fierce fight for the Senate seat? It may be because many Virginians, including large numbers of Republicans, have always considered who is in charge of state government a lot more important than whoever is sent to represent the state in Congress. It boils down to an attitude that Virginia is a cut above other states and that it must look to its own resources to stay strong since things are hopeless north of the Potomac. Thus, Democrats who may feel a bit comforted about next year’s prospects because of GOP bickering could be in for a surprise.

Farm Sentiments 4 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan This license plate was spotted on a truck at the Farm Show last week. Pro-Disney Mailings Received By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer During the past week the Rappahannock News received thrcr “Letters to the Editor” that arrived in identical window envelopes. All had Haymarket return addresses, but all were postmarked at Dulles. All, in various ways supported the Disney theme park proposed for near Haymarket in Prince William County. Two are printed on the editorial page. One, critical of a piece by Pat Oliphant that appeared in the Outlook section of the Sunday Washington Post a few weeks ago, seemed more suited to the pages of the Post than the Rappahannock News and was not selected. Robert Singletary, chairman and president of the Welcome Disney Committee, wrote to praise Governor George Allen’s presentation to a U.S. Senate committee in support of the Disney theme park. Mr. Singletary said that he was not aware of the other letters or of the fact that the mailing went out in window envelopes. He said the his letter was sent to “selected” newspapers in Virginia “to get out massage across.” He said the Welcome Disney Committee is a grass-roots organization supported by individual donations and that it also serves as an umbrella organiza tion for 11 groups in Virginia supporting the Disney theme park. He said the organization is independent of the Disney Company and gets none of its funding from Disney. Barbara Staton wrote to say she was angered by finding people opposed to the park because of “misinformation.” In a telephone conversation she said, “I got aggravated because I couldn’t take a vacation without having people comment when I said I was from Haymarket.” Mrs. Staton said she wrote the letter and gave it to the Welcome Committee to send out as a Letter to the Editor. She also said she signed the individual letters. '93 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE | mm, *, < wma mmmy '■ ' - — -aAutomatic, Drivers' Air Bag, AC, Pwr.

Swimming Is a Hit at Day Camp r. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer *; Belle Meade Day Camp has been k real hit so far. It is located on a beautiful stretch of Route 231, on the southern end of Rappahannock. Z The camp is run by Susan Hofftnan and Michael Biniek. Ms. Hoffman has many years’ experience teaching children through junior high school age, and has three grown Children herself. This is her first time running a camp, but she feels at ease in doing so. r When she and Mr. Biniek moved to the county last fall, they both Jrished they could find jobs in the county instead of commuting to the city for their work. Ms. Hoffman continued to commute for a while, teaching remedial reading on a partJfime basis. Now, running the camp, she is able to stay in Rappahannock all of the time. Z The couple also has plans to open jl bed and breakfast this September, though much of their house is still under construction, t The main focal point of the camp 3s the swimming pool. Every morning, weather permitting, the children spend lots of free time in the jpool, playing pool soccer, kicking ‘around on a belly board, or whatever they wish. Ms. Hoffman offers swim lessons to any interested camper. .The pool is large enough to allow plenty of space for all campers. Last week, for the July 18-29 ses sion, 13 campers were attending. Ms. Hoffman was in charge and was assisted by counselor Jesse Rogers. Sara Gentry was also helping out as a counselor for the day. She had hoped to be a full-time counselor for the summer but ended up attending summer school in Culpeper. So she usually helps at camp only on Fridays. All of the children seemed to love being in the pool, and the only structured part of the pool time was when Ms. Hoffman asked everyone to swim laps. Each child had their own style, swimming freestyle, backstroke, or underwater. Most swam somewhere between 20 and 30 laps, and bragged about how many they had completed. After spending around two hours in the pool, the group dried off and piled into the camp van, which holds a maximum of 15. Everyone grabbed lunch, which they had brought from home, and looked forward to a picnic alongside the Hughes River near Slate Mills. After a ten-minute drive from Belle Meade, the van pulled into a parking space by the river. Everyone forded the river, holding hands for stability if needed, and found a spot to picnic on a huge flat rock area along the river. After lunch, the group headed further down the river for swimming, and the rope swing, a favorite. Ms. Hoffman said that Jesse had been a big help in showing her interesting spots to take the campers on excursions, since he lives nearby in Peola Mills and knows the area well. Other trips have been to White Oak Canyon, Old Rag Mountain and Sharp Rock Farm in Net hers. Ms. Hoffman picks up campers in her van in Washington, Amissville and Sperryville between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m., and returns everyone between 2:45 and 3 p.m. The camp day usually begins with a meeting in the pavilion, a short distance from the house, for drawing and writing, and may include a show and tell session. One day last week the campers showed each other card tricks. Ms. Hoffman also teaches the kids math games, which is one of her specialties. Ms. Hoffman said that the camp is active and low-key at the same time, and that the children have lots of time to talk with each other. She guides the children when they feel it is needed, but mostly it is not structured like a school setting. Traditionally, the camp sessions run for two weeks, and the final Thursday is an overnight camp-out and cook-out, complete with s’mores. Mr. Biniek helps out with the overnights and nature and wildlife excursions. The last camp session for this summer runs from Aug. 1-12. Ms. Hoffman can be reached at Belle Meade Day Camp at 987-9748. l; i ‘ Summer: Patterns Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Bees are working the Queen Anne’s Lace as bloom is reaching its peak. J (it rfh* Rabies Is Spreading in State : Rabies is spreading throughout ^Virginia according to reports from 4he Virginia Department of Health. *- In 1993 rabid racoons were documented in 75.9 percent of the state’s counties, while in 1980, at the onset of the current increase in rabies cases, only 2.5 percent reported .'cases of rabies. During 1993 and ' 1994 rabies was documented among •bats, cats, cattle, foxes, horses, ^opossums, racoons, skunks, dogs, “ferrets and groundhogs in the Com»tnon wealth. r Though many people still asso•ciate rabies primarily with dogs, raHbid cats have out-numbered rabid “dogs for years. In Virginia 135 cats posted positive for rabies from 1977 ^to date in 1994 in contrast to 22 dogs. * According to Dr. Suzanne Jen«kins, assistant state epidemiologist •for the Virginia Department of ’Health, “The majority of rabid ani•jnals that we know about are wild ‘animals, but most people get ex- posed to rabies from dogs and cats.” » When a person is diagnosed with ra»bies, it is understood to be fatal 100 <*■ t* •i. ——i^— 4 * A'% * m U II Bluemont Concerts [Continue * The Bluemont Concert Series continues this weekend with the ITom Cunningham Orchestra in WarJrenton at the Warren Green Concert “■at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Rabies can be prevented though, if timely treatment is given after exposure. Memorial Day weekend an Alexandria family took a camping trip to Chincoteague Island. They came across a stray puppy there. The puppy won the mother’s heart and she decided to make it a family pet and take it back to Alexandria. Even though this woman correctly took the puppy to a veterinarian to be examined as well as vaccinated for rabies, on June 12 the animal became aggressive and bit her on the face and hand. The next day the puppy began staggering and vomiting. The woman took the puppy to an animal hospital which notified the health department that the puppy had symptoms compatible with rabies. The health department directed that the animal be euthanized so that its brain tissue could be tested for rabies. The animal tested positive for rabies. The woman, her three sons, ages 9, 10, and 13, as well as a 7-year old neighbor boy have all begun post rabies exposure treatments. Though the boys were not bitten, they were exposed to the puppy’s saliva by playing with the animal and are considered to have been exposed to rabies. This family’s experience exemplifies that even if a stray animal receives the rabies vaccine, the caretaker cannot be sure that the animal had not contracted the virus before it was immunized. Animal control officials should be contacted to pick-up strays. Untrained people should not try to handle unfamiliar animals. Dr. Jenkins explained that, “They (people) don’t think about rabies when they see that cute little cat by the trash can, but they need to be thinking about it. ” If you are injured by an animal: • Immediately wash the wound with soap and water. • Confine the animal if possible. • Call the local animal control office to have the animal picked-up. • See your doctor right away for advice and treatment. Because summer is outdoor time, there is more opportunity to contact animals, but it is important not to handle animals you do not know, especially wild animals. This should be left to animal control officials. Virginia law requires all cats and dogs be vaccinated by four months of age, and they can be vaccinated as early as three months Follow your veterinarian’s recommendations for subsequent vaccinations to maintain protection. The only animals for which licensed rabies vaccines exist are cats and dogs, horses, cows, sheep and ferrets.

About 60 Lions, Lionesses and a variety of Lion Cubs of all ages gathered at the Rappahannock Recreational Park on July 13th to enjoy their annual feast day. Fortunately, Lions were the only local species attracted to the irresistible scent of grilling hot dogs, chicken breasts, and tasty baked beans. Every July the Rappahannock Lions Club invites members, families and friends to a special picnic meeting to officially observe the changing of the guard when the new officers and directors are installed for the coming year. This year even the weather blessed the event. It was one of the rare days when the Tstorms only threatened.

Wolf had “received reports that complaints of sexual harassment at the Postal Service have not been effectively addressed.” In a letter to Charles Bowsher, comptroller general in the General Accounting Office, Rep. Wolf asked ; . - . a for an investigation of problems with postal delivery in Northern Virginia. He asked for documentation of growth in demand for mail services and estimate of future growth.

►Schools ; From Page A-l greater problems with the behavior of younger and younger students, he said. The disciplinary problems with elementary-school aged children and even primary-grade children are the sort that used to characterize some secondary school students, he added. “Ultimately it’s not fair to the children who do behave and who are trying to learn to have someone in the classroom who is out of control and is constantly interrupting,” he said. “When kids are not able to control themselves in a regular classroom, it is detrimental to the others as well.” The alternative education program will put those students in a much smaller group than the regular program and a “much more restrictive environment,” Dr. Gangel said. There is a similar in-school suspension program at the high school. Parent Patty Metcalfe presented a report from a committee working on improving the college preparatory program at the high school. She said the group surveyed other schools and colleges and will have a full report later. “One thing that continued to surface is the need for greater parent involvement,” she said. The group would like to initiate a program to get parents more involved and perhaps include retirees and other members of the community, she said. They would be looking for people to help as activity sponsors and volunteer tutors, for example. She asked if the group could have a table set up at fee day to try to get volunteers. The board agreed to support this approach. Chairman Beverly Massie said it was a “marvelous idea.” She urged the group not to restrict it to parents of college preparatory stui dents but to involve parents of children with special needs and those active in the sports and music booster organizations. “There are benefits to kids in the elementary school when parents are involved,” she said. “It’s more difficult in high school. When students get to be teenagers parents are not as involved,” she noted. She said the students worry their parents will be “critical of how they act with their friends...It’s not like it used to be when parents were proud to say they didn’t come to school and interfere.” Bids will be opened Thursday for 1 work on the high school sewage system. A new chlorine contact tank will be built. For the first time the system will include dechlorination and aeration of the effluent. Dr. Gangel said that the school system hopes to have the work completed by September 1, before the start of school, but, if necessary, has permission to continue with the current system until the new one is ready. On Wednesday Dr. Gangel, assistant superintendent Robert Chappell, County Administrator John McCarthy and possibly members of the Board of Supervisors and School Board will visit a residential area near Richmond that has a “Lenina” system. Dewberry and Davis, an engineering firm that looked into alternative methods of treating school sewage, recommended that the school system add a “Lemna” system at the elementary school sewage lagoon. Duckweed, which uses waste products to grow, is planted in a grid. Dr. Gangel and the board agreed that if they are satisfied with what they see on their site visit they will advertise for bids to design such a system. They would plan to have it installed next summer when school is closed. The board reelected officers; Mrs. Massie was again elected chairman and Paul Nichols vice-chairman. They did not reach final agreement on meeting dates. Normally the board meets on the second Tuesday of each month. Frequently these meetings last until late at night. Dr. Gangel had recommended that the board hold a second meeting on the fourth Tuesday if there are more than two pupil personnel cases requiring board action in executive session or if there was any other urgent business to come before the board. Mr. Nichols said that his Boy Scout troop meets every Tuesday. The board agreed to try to find another day for the second meeting but decided to continue the main meeting on the second Tuesday of the month. Todd Bullard of VMDO Architects presented suggestions for colors and materials to be used in the elementary school addition. He suggested sections of bright yellow above the doors entering the classrooms. Board members were happy with most of the suggestions, but they, expecially Bryant Lee, said they did not like the yellow. They agreed that before it is put above every door, they will have a chance to see it above the doors in one section. The attendance report showed that the number of students enrolled continued to drop through May and June. At the end of April there were 968 students, and by the end of school there were 958. The budget for the coming year is based on an estimate of an average 1,010 students enrolled through March. Six teaching positions remain to be filled for the coming year fifth grade, alternative education, speech, high school English, high school physical education and a tear cher for the gifted and talented students at both schools. In addition the school system is looking for a job coach for high school special education students who work part of the day. This is a two-hour a day job, Dr. Gangel said. Cindy Cumins has been hired for another high school English position. She finished out the year in that position last year. Eugene Baltimore was hired for another high school physical education position. Jennifer Kephart was hired as a speech teacher. She also worked in that position last year. ►Zoning From Page A-l the brochure. Other planners suggested the B and B guild and the Sperryville and Washington business councils could be approached to contribute part of the county’s share. Mr. Irwin suggested if the county had money to invest, it could instead contribute to the Foothills Travel Association which publishes similar brochures for counties in Planning District 9 and Greene County. New member Tom Junk from Sperryville said he would oppose using tax money for such a, purpose. The issue was left unresolved as the planners asked Ms. Pierce to continue attending meetings of the group and report back. The planners decided to postpone, at least temporarily, an area study of the Amissville area and to instead look into having a study of county water resources done. Last month Robert Dennis of the Piedmont Environmental Council suggested the county do such a study. Mr. McCarthy said if the county’s fiscal picture looks good in January or February the planners could consider asking the Board of Supervisors if they could also begin the process of doing an area study. Chairman Mike Massie asked his fellow planners what format they would like to follow in updating the Comprehensive Plan. Member Sid Gottlieb suggested there should be more emphasis in the beginning of the document on the goals, and the statistics, which make up the bulk of the document, could be appendices. Mr. Massie said, “The goals have to derive from the facts.” They decided the revised Comprehensive Plan could begin with a one-page summary of the goals.

Radio Repeater Towers Won't j Work with County Equipment j By SHARON KILPATRICK RaMMhuinock New* Staff Writer The county cannot go to a radio system that depends on repeater towers without replacing all the radios being used by the sheriffs department and fire and rescue squads, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward. This would be quite expensive. Sheriff Woodward said that the county now uses a low band frequency system. This cannot be used with repeater towers with more than one channel, he said. The dispatch center uses two channels for the sheriffs department and three for fire and rescue, he added. To replace all the radios would mean 10 in vehicles belonging to the department at $1,500 each and the base station at $2,000. In addition there are about 35 radios belonging to the seven fire and rescue departments which would also have to be replaced. There are also five portable radios which would have to be replaced at $1,000 each, and each squad has about 25 pagers belonging to members that would cost about $350 each to replace. With replacement radios the county could switch to higher frequencies that can use repeater towers, but Sheriff Woodward said it might require five towers to cover the county. Each tower would have to have a back-up power system for times when electricity is lost. At the jail the radios are in the basement and a backup generator runs the radios and jail if the power goes down. Radio waves in low band frequencies 'can travel along the contours of the land, Sheriff Woodward said, but the higher the mountain the harder it is for the radio waves to get over. Higher band radio waves travel by line of sight, he explained. “If the county wants the expense we can go that way,” he said. “It will cost more money than to upgrade what we’ve got.” When the county first started using the equipment there were problems because many other counties were using the same frequency also. Since then more have gone to high band frequencies. “Since a lot of jurisdictions have gotten off, it isn’t so bad,” he said. With the 80-foot tower the county currently has behind the jail the range should be seven and a half miles. Within that range ideally it should have 100 percent coverage, Sheriff Woodward said. However, the terrain, leaves on trees, and summer heat can reduce that. On the other hand there are places more than seven and a half miles away the radio signals do reach. With the 250-foot tower proposed by Cellular One, Sheriff Woodward said that should increase to 17.5 miles. “It should cover this county good,” he said, but it is not possible to determine how much coverage it would definitely get without putting it up. “I don’t think there’s a radio system made that you’re not going to have some dead spots,” he added. If the tower is moved a significant distance from the current one,' duplicate equipment would also be necessary, he said. It might work at a location like the county park, he; said, but it would have to be hard wired to the existing system. He said he would also want to keep the1 current tower to use with the gener-I ator if electricity were lost. It would’ be necessary to purchase two more; radios and two new antennas. He isconcerned that some of the signal power might be lost over wires trav4 11 eling much distance. ' “This Cellular One thing was s way to get a tower free of charge,”; he said. He added he will be happywith any location that provides him, with more coverage. Other than not; being able to contact cars and rescue vehicles in many parts of the county “we’ve had very few problems withour radio system,” he said. t Hospitals Help Babies Get Social Security Cards ByBRUCE A. HUNDLEY Social Security Office Last year almost three million Social Security cards were issued to new-born babies through an “Enumeration at Birth” process at hospitals where the children were bom. Included in these hopsitals are Culpeper Memorial and Fauquier. These three million cards represented about half of all new Social Security cards issued last year. Through special agreement between the Social Security Administration and the state of Virginia parents may voluntarily choose to have the birth registration form they complete at their local hospital serve as an application for their newborn baby. The state vital statistics office shares the birth information with us, eliminating the need for parents to mail or take the newborn’s birth certificate and other documents to a Social Security office later on. Once we receive the application we assign a Social Security number and mail the card in the child’s name’ to the address shown on the birth certificate. A Social Security number is needed to claim any child who is at least one year old as a dependent on federal tax returns. And the number is needed to start a savings account or buy bonds in a child’s name. I also want to remind everyone that this is a free service. Don’t be misled by any company who seeks to charge a fee for getting your child a Social Security card. For further information call 825-3501.

The Versatile Tomato By HELEN W. SMITH Sttonim Afent, Home Economics Nature’s own fast food. It’s bold color and delicate flavor are enjoyed around the world in hearty Italian pastas, spicy Mexican fare, colorful Oriental dishes, delicate French cuisine, and the all-American hamburger. Where Did Tomatoes Come From? The tomato is native to the Americas. It was initially cultivated by Aztecs and Incas as early as 700 A.D. Europeans first saw the tomato when the Conquistadors reached Mexico and Central American in the 16th century. Tomato seeds were taken back to Europe where they quickly found favor in the Mediterranean countries of Spain, Portugal, and Italy. As the tomato traveled north, it was veiled in mystery. The French called it “The Apple of Love,” the Germans “The Apple of Paradise;” but the British, while admiring its brilliant red color, disclaimed the tomato as a food - they believed it was poisonous. This same fear persisted among colonists in the United States until the early 19th century; but in 1812, the Creoles’ in New Orleans put their cooking on the map with their tomato-enhanced jumbos and jambalayas. The people of Maine quickly followed suit, combining fresh tomatoes with local seafood. By 1850, the tomtato was an important produce item in every American city. People were planting tomatoes in their home gardens, while farmers commercially produced fresh tomatoes throughout the year. When cold weather halted local production, consumers relied on areas with temperate climates to furnish, their supply of tomatoes. Fresh Tomato Nutrition Fresh tomatoes belong to one of the most colorful and varied of the basic four food groups: fruits and vegetables. And their nutritional offerings are as sweet as their flavor and aroma. A medium-size tomato (about 150 HOME ECONOMICS grams) contains 35 calories. For that very modest amount of energy, tomatoes provide 40 percent of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C and 20 percent of the Vitamin A allowance. They are also a cholesterol free food very low in sodium (only 10 milligrams). That’s a real plus for those on special diets. Basic Tomato Preparation To Peel: Peeling fresh tomatoes is not necessary, unless the fruit is to be cooked. Heat causes skins to slip away from the flesh, so it is best to peel a tomato before adding it to a heated dish. To peel fresh tomatoes, submerge them in a bowl of boiling water for about 30 seconds. Transfer to cold water and the skins will slip off. To Seed: Scrape seeds away from the flesh with a pointed utensil, such as a grapefruit spoon, being careful not to puncture skin. Note: Tomato seeds contain significant nutritional qualities and few recipes are affected by seeds. Avoid seeding if possible. To Slice: Using a serrated knife, slice tomatoes length-wise, rather than crosswise, to retain juice.

Forgetting Food Safety. Turns Picnics Into Panics ■j Family reunions, barbecues, and picnics can actually make you sick. But only because, in all the excitement and fun, people may forget food safety principles. Reports of foodbome illnesses always rise during the summer months. Last year, in Virginia, there were at least 20,000 cases of foodbome illnesses many of which occured during the summer, according to the Centers for Disease Control. During special events, food is often left at temperatures in which bacteria can grow, said Ann Hertzler, Virginia Cooperative Extension nutrition and food specialist, at Virginia Tech. waiui tcuifrcidimes, muu puisoning bacteria can begin to multiply and cause illness. At summer temperature of 80 F and above, they multiply rapidly. To avoid turning a picnic into a panic, keep perishable foods—especially meat and poultry-cold between preparation and serving. To prevent bacteria growth, perishable foods should be kept below 40 F or above 145 F. \ “If the time between leaving home and eating the food is under two hours, and you plan for proper cold or hot storage on the trip, you can take most any food to a picnic,” Hertzler said. “If serving will not be for several hours, purchase food well in advance of the picnic and chill it thoroughly before packing it in a cooler. Then eat the food cold.” It is not enough to just put foods into a good insulated cooler. You must also include a cold source such as the commercial ‘blue jel’, lots of ice, frozen cartons of juice, or even plastic bottles with frozen water, she said. Fried chicken and other cooked foods require special care. Illnesscausing bacteria can be introduced to food just by handling, and it grows rapidly in warm temperatures. Do not partially cook meat or poultry ahead of time to save grilling time at the picnic. Bacteria that may be in raw foods need thorough cooking-all at once-to be destroyed. If food is fully cooked, however, and if it’s been cooled quickly, reheating it on the grill at the picnic site is a safe option. Another safety tip is that food handlers must always avoid cross contamination. Keep everything that touches food clean. Wash hands, utensils, bowls and countertops between work on each dish. And use clean serving dishes to carry cooked food from the grill— don’t use the same plate the raw meat was on. After the picnic, use your cooler and common sense as a guide to the safety of leftover picnic food, they said. Ice remaining in the cooler is a good sign that the food may be safe. If the picnic lasted four to five hours, and if the food was not out of the cooler expect for a short period during serving, chances are good that the leftover food will be wholesome. If you have any doubts, however, don’t take a chance. Discard the food. A beter plan is to pack only what you will use on the outing, Hertzler said. Members Enjoy Luncheon Hear Flag Day Presentation By LOUISA T. GROGAN Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met for a luncheon meeting at the Public House in Flint Hill on Tuesday, June 14 with the Regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham presiding. Mrs. Dieter Kneupfer read the Message to DAR members by the President General, the D-Day celebration. She commended DAR members for their active and patriotic support of the 50th Anniversary of World War II events, for which the Society received praise from the Secretary of the Army. She, also, stressed that the chapters not forget the important of the DAR goals during the summer in regard to education, community outreach and involvement. Mrs. Edward I. Barton read the National Defense report which was an article by Caspar W. Weinberger on how to stop the return to big government, which, in his opinion, is the real problem facing the American public today. As government power expands, individual freedom contracts and it is necessary to fight against it for the cause of freedom. Mrs. Kneupfer introduced the speaker Mrs. Richard C. Anderson, Chairman, The Flag of the U.S. of America Committee, VADAR, who spoke on “Flag Day and Its Meaning.” What does the flag mean? It represents a nation which stretches from sea to sea, a nation which is a citadel of freedom. To respect and revere it is one of our most important acts. Betsy Ross sewed together a standard for George Washington to carry as he led Ids regiment. On June 14, 1777, Congress accepted the flag as our national flag as our national flag and on Jilne 14, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed that date as National Flag Day. The Registrar, Mrs. Dale Metzinger, presented the names of four persons for membership and all were voted in. Events of the Continental Congress in April were reported on by the delegate, Mrs. Egar F. Puryear, Jr. A big item on the agenda is the renovation of Constitution Hall which will cost $2,344,924 and which will begin as soon as the last high school graduation is held in June at which time the Hall will be closed. Of interest is that the oldest DAR member will be 109 in September and that there are 194,625 active members in the Society. With the Society running on a deficit budget, delegates to the Congress voted to raise the dues. Chapter dues consequently were also raised. Mrs. Jane Kearns announced that the three volume set of the DAR Patriot Index had been purchased and donated to the Culpeper Public Library. It was announced that the District VI fall meeting will be on Sept. 16 with the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter co-hosting it with the Montpelier Chapter, and with Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear, Jr. as Chairman. Marriage Licenses The following marriage licenses were issued at the Clerk’s office during the past week: Warren Eastham Settle, Washington and Juanita Harvey Critzer, Washington. Jerry Wayne Foster, Jr., Flint Hill and Christina Marie Weakley, Flint Hill.

/ / ' . / The Wood Family of Sunny Slope Farm By CHARLES WOOD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer An event of significant interest to many persons in Rappahannock County was a memorial reunion of descendants of Charles Dudley Wood (b. 1881 d. 1926) and his wife Lucy Henry Wood (b. 1878 d. 1958). The reunion took place at the home of Mrs. Amenta Wood Buckner of Midlothian, Va. (formerly of Flint Hill) on June 19, 1994. The Wood family made their home in Flint Hill on Rt. 522 north. The family patriarch, Charles Dudley Wood, was a third generation commercial apple grower in the county. His death in 1926 left his widow, Lucy Henry Wood, to rear their four children alone. She maintained the farm and orchard throughout the children’s growing up years and saw them through college — the three sons, Brae, John and Charles through Virginia Polytechnic Institute and daughter, Nellie, through Virginia Intermont College at Bristol. Because of her gentleness, patience and love for her family, it wa she who was remembered and memoralized by the reunion. While Brue and John completed college, Charles stayed home and -helped run the farm. Brue then came back to the county and ran the farm while Charles began college. Brue met and married a brown-eyed beauty from Front Royal, Va., Miss Lucy Dunn; and he brought her hfime to Sunny Slope to live. John, having been an ROTC cadet at V.P.I. elected to remain in the U.S. Army. He met and married Miss Mary Evans Robeson, daughter of a Y.P.I. professor. Mary went with John on his assignment to the Philippines shortly before the outbreack ofW.W. II. . Brue and Lucy had two children, Charles Dudley Wood and Frances Ruffher Wood, as the family continued to live at Sunny Slope in Flint Hill with Brae’s widowed mother. Meanwhile John and Mary remained for a time in the Philippines where he had attained the rank of Captain — but Mary was ordered back to the U.S. with their daughter, Ann, as war dangers enveloped the islands. John, taken prisoner on Corregidor Island in Manila Bay by the Japanese, eventually lost his life to them and never returned home. His wife was later remarried to John Pendleton of Blacksburg, Va. Meanwhile, Charles, a student at Va. Tech, worked toward a degree in horticulture through his junior year. Then his money ran out and he had to drop out of school to take a job after his marriage to Margaret Crabill, then of Blacksburg, Va. While accumulating funds to provide themselves with a home, the couple moved into the Wood family home in Flint Hill with the senior Mrs. Wood and Brue and Lucy and their young son, Dudley. The arrangement provided happy times and not-so-happy times but these were definitely memorable family times under the guidance and patience of “Granny Wood.” A year after the marriage of Charles and Margaret, Amenta Margaret Wood, hostess for the recent reunion, was bom. She and her parents lived in and around Flint Hill with two additional children, Ruth Stevens Wood and Charles Burrell Wood, Jr. until 1952 when they moved to Blacksburg so that Charles could complete his education. He earned both a bachelors and masters degree — whereupon he became an associate professor in teaching and research in Horticulture and Food Science at V.P.I. until his retirement in 1981. Nellie Roberts Wood, daughter of the widowed family matriarch, Lucy Henry Wood, attended Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Va. During the war years, she married William Oliver of North Garden, Va. He was killed in action in the European theater and never saw his son, Charles William Oliver. Nel Mrs. Lucy Henry Wood lie was later married, for the second time, to Oliver Smith, of North Garden. Together they have a daughter, Linda Smith Litten and two granddaughters, Angela and Amanda. Unfortunately, Nellie and her families had prior commitments on the day of the reunion and were unable to attend. Nellie and Oliver were sorely missed. Also missed were Charles William and his wife, Pam, his daughter Melissa and her husband; Charles’ son Bill; Pam’s two girls, Sarah and Mary and Charles’ and Pam’s son Christopher. All were missed. Also missed were Nellie’s daughter, Linda with husband Clayton Litten and their daughters, Angela and Amanda. Let’s not give up — we can try for another reunion! Today, Dudley Wood, son of Brue and Lucy and a V.P.L graduate, is employed by Bechtel Cor poration of America and is married to the former Margaret Pruitt, a Hollins College graduate and CPA. They have two grown daughters, Mary Pinchney Wood and Emily Wood. Lucy Dunn Wood, Dudley’s mother and Brue’s widow, now.lives in Front Royal, Va. Dudley, his wife, Margaret and his mother Lucy, attended the reunion together. His daughters were unable to come. Dudley’s sister, Frances Wood Charles, daughter of Brue and Lucy, lives in Birmingham, Alabama. She is employed as an Administrative Manager of Robinson-Humphrey Company, a full service buying and investment company. She is a graduate of St. Andrews Presbyterian College and holds an MA degree from the University of Alabama. Ter son, David, graduated recently rom the University of Chicago in 11inois. Frances’ guest at the reunion vas Dick Echols. Ann Wood Corson, daughter of fohn Dudley Wood and Mary Robeson Wood Pendleton, lives in Phoelix, Arizona with her daughter, Claudia. She is a school teacher. One purpose of the reunion was to reacluaint Ann and Claudia with their Rappahannock relatives, many of whom are first cousins. Ann’s daughter has recently graduated from a college in her home state. Amenta Wood Buckner, daughter of Charles and Margaret and hostess for the reunion of June 19 is married to Gerald L. Buckner, a Va. Tech graduate originally from Mathews County, Va. He was recently retired from Virginia Power Company in Richmond. Amenta and “Jerry” have a son, Gerald Lee Buckner, Jr. and a daughter, Nancy Lynn Buckner. Lee is married to the former Penny Chennell. They have a baby daughter, Elizabeth. Lee is a residential building contractor in the Richmond area. Penny is employed at Delux Printing Company in Richmond and is a student and homemaker. Nancy Lynn Buckner holds a masters degree in Education from Longwood College and teaches school. She plans to marry Todd Welch of Midlothian, Va. in 1995. This year Amenta is an award winning, fifteen year veteran residential real estate agent in the Richmond area. Not only that but she was a great reunion host! Ruth Wood Meier, daughter of Charles and Margaret, wife and mother of three children, is married to Fred Meier of Blairstown, New Jersey. Together they own and operate a builders’ supply stone yard near Blairstown. By a former marriage, Ruth has three children: Sharon Hardiman Kafka, Thomas Burrell Hardiman and Debroah Lynn Hardiman — none of whom were able to attend the reunion due to prior commitments. Ruth, however, did attend and helped Amenta with food serving. Charles Burrell Wood, Jr., son of Charles and Margaret lives and teaches school in St. Petersburg, Florida. Prior to teaching, he was a member of the U.S. Coast Guard for twenty years. He is married to the former Norma Jean Gentry, a professional Nurse Practitioner who is connected with a Veteran’s Administration hospital in her state. They have a daughter, Holly Wood Stewart, who lives in Lakeworth, Florida with her husband William Peter Stewart, Jr. Both are full time graduate students and were unable to join the family group. Burrell and Norma also have a son, John Russell Wood, who is still in high school. He too was unable to attend the reunion because he was training in a sailing regatta in Chicago. Guests at the reunion including not only those mentioned above, but special guests: John Roberts, Carol Men, Dick Echols, Barbara Holdren and Kathy and Layne Hood. Following a great day under the oaks at Amenta’s house, guests departed for their homes. The following Tuesday, June 21, four guests — still enthusiastically family oriented took a trip from Richmond to Rappahannock County. Ann Corson, her daughter, Claudia, Amenta and her daughter, Nancy,, visited familiar sites in Flint Hill and the county that they remembered from their childhood — the main one being Sunny Slope Home for Adults — which used to be the home of their grandparents, called Sunny Slope Farm. It was gratifying to see the old place looking well tended and serving a highly useful purpose. The owners, Wilma and James Burke, are to be congratulated for their fine contributions to today’s elderly citizens. That visit really capped the climax! The memorial reunion to Lucy Henry Wood and honoring Ann Wood Corson rang with success! Obituaries t H.C.

Home Plant Breeding By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer People who enjoy gardening are often tempted to try some of the more intricate aspects of the hobby. Breeding their own plants is one such temptation. There are different ways of breeding new plants and trying it can be fun or frustrating. Henry R. Owen Jr., a former Virginia Tech student, offers this information and cautions for gardeners who want to try it. Understand How Specific Plants Reproduce Plants reproduce asexually and sexually. Asexual reproduction is the propagation or perpetuation of a species by vegetative means. It is also referred to as clonal propagation because in most cases the offspring are gentically identical to the parent plants. Plants reproduce sexually by means of seeds or spores. Seed development generally involves genetic recombination and the union of gametes (sperm and egg cells), resulting in many forms or varieties of a plant species. Varieties that have been further developed through artificial selection are designated as cultivars. Asexual and sexual methods are used for plant propagation, cloning for the maintenance of desirable cultivars, and seed propagation for the development of cultivars. Many cultivars of popular vegetable and ornamental plants are de scribed as hybrids. Hybrid seed production uses genetic recombination in a predictable way. Parent plants used to produce hybrids are from pure lines developed through inbreeding. Pure lines are plants that “breed true” or produce sexual offspring that closely resemble their parents. By crossing pure lines, a uniform population of a first filial generation hybrid seed can be produced with predictable characteristics. / These first generation hybrids, in contrast to their true-breeding parents, are not true breeding. They can produce seed, referred to as second filial generation, with various genetic combinations for each trait. Seeds produced by a first generation hybrid tend to develop into plants that are highly variable and generally inferior to their hybrid parents. These combinations can be observed when seeds are collected from a first generation hybrid and planted. Know Which Plants Can Be Self-pollinated A few principles must be considered before attempting to breed plants. Some plants are tolerant of inbreeding and can be self-pollinated. These include houseplants such as asparagus ferns and spider plants, many perennials, and vegetable crops such as peppers and peas. Other plant species exhibit inbreeding depression or self-incompatibility and must be cross-pollinated Woodville Families i Entertain, Travel Richard and Rena Burke were recent visitors of Ronnie and Bonnie Parker in Amissville and Johnny and Lillie Mae Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Burke were Saturday afternoon guests of Nick, Lillian and Randi Lynn Norman at Castleton. Joanne and Kirk Anderson of l Glen Mills, Pa. arrived on Wednesday to spend the week with their grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Anderson.

Club Members Enjoy Orlean Garden Visit By HELEN PLATT Rappahannock News Contributlnf Writer Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club experienced an inspiring treat for their July meeting. The group visited the garden at “Fox Flight,” the home of Robert DiNunzio in Orlean. The program announced the garden as a “Lily” garden but it was much more than that. Robert DiNunzio breeds Day Lilies but by profession he is a garden designer so his own garden is a series of surprises as one moves from one part to another. He describes the various areas as “rooms” and each one has its own special feature. Plants, sculpture, fountains, a small pool for fish, and of course many unusual Day Lilies that he has developed, create a garden to envy. As club members walked about the Day Lily beds, DiNunzio demon strated the pi-ocess of manual pollination and pointed out some of the new hybrid cultivars he has achieved by cross breeding older species. After the garden visit, Club members conveyed at the Rappahannock County Library meeting room for their bag lunches and a business meeting. Especially appreciated was the ice tea which hostesses Ellie Kreamer, Helen Bridges and Pauline Bruce provided. A disappointment for the club this year has been the failure of the highway plantings. The club spent $250 for Cosmos seed which was sent to the Culpeper District of VDOT for median plantings on Rappahannock County highways, but not a single blossom has appeared. Club members voted to try again for next year with hopes that the results will be better. Members Attend Boston Meeting By HOWARD ZIEMER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Two members of the Warrenton Christian Science Church attended the annual meeting of The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Mass, on June 6. Mrs. Marjorie Atkins of Washington and Mrs. Betty Thompson of Mwassas flew to Boston Saturday, June 4 and attended Sunday services in the Boston church prior to attending Mondays meeting. Mrs. Atkins is organist of the local church while Mrs. Thompson is a member of the Executive Board of Clerk. This year marks the 100th year since the laying of the cornerstone of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston. In41894, Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science Church, designated the King James Bible and her textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” as “the only pastor” of the religion’s Mother Church and branches around the world. Elizabeth Jenkins, the new President of the church, and church officers focused their remarks on ways this literary pastor guides the church and ways that Christian Scientists can share the pastor with a yearning world. for sexual production. Good candidates for cross-pollination between different cultivars include African violets, geraniums, marigolds, petunias, and lilies. 7 Seed fertility and viability must also be considered. Some plants may set seeds or spores that have a low germination percentage or are totally sterile. For these reasons, gerbera daisies, Boston ferns, and banana cultivars should be avoided in breeding efforts. Other seeds may be fertile, but dormant and require a length of time in storage or a cold treatment to break dormancy. Many perennial plants exhibit such dormancy. The length of time that seeds retain their viability in storage depends on storage conditions and plant species. Some long-lived seeds include zinnia, petunia, and lotus. Generally, low humidity and cool temperatures extend seed viability. Steps to Pollination Hybrid plant production involves the transfer of pollen from one plant to the stigma of a different plant of the same species. This essentially is a 6-step procedure: i 1. Remove anthers from the flower of the female parent prior to pollen maturation to prevent selfpollination. 2. Collect pollen from the male parent. 3. Transfer the pollen to the stigman of the female parent using a fine brush. 4. Tag the flower, indicating the date and the cross made (female x male). j 5. Harvest the mature seed. 6. Plant the seed. In most instances, don’t expect spectacular performance in flower quality or yield from seeds produced from commercial plant cultivars due to their hybrid origin. However, backyard plant breeding may be worthwhile and rewarding to gardeners who wish to expose inherent genetic variability, observe trait segregation, and grow plants with new combinations of traits.
