I . .. c •• l« Jobs Transferred To Latin America 1 By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer “We are just like family, and it really hurts.” s TTiat was just one employee’s reaction to the announcement at the Aileen sewing plant in Flint Hill last Thursday. Bob Fadely, vice president of manufacturing for Aileen, broke the bad news to employees that the plant would definitely be closing on Oct. 12. Many left work early on Friday to begin searching for a new job. Some have applied for similar work in Winchester or Culpeper, and others have applied to be grocery clerks. 1 According to plant manager Ellen Jordan, the reason for the closure is that the manufacturing costs are too high. Aileen already has two plants operating in the Dominican Republic, where, according to Flint Hill employees, workers are paid from 80 to 90 cents per hour. We worked a lot ofl Saturdays to get our work done. I think i it is downright ri cruel.' ^ -T- Aileen employee* _ Several employees of the plant were-interviewed for this article but requested that they not be identified. They said they feared they might lose their jobs immediately if the spoke publicly about the plant’s closing. One woman contacted, however, See Aileen, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins s Employment Numbers The latest employment figures for June indicate Rappahannock County’s unemployment stands at 3.2 percent, according to the Virginia Employment Commission. That translates to 146 people out of work. The county is well below both Culpeper (4.8 percent) and Warren (6.5 percent) and also less than Fauquier, which registered 4.5 percent. Statewide the number was 5.5 percent. Summer unemployment figures are generally swelled by high school and college students seeking summer work. Bucket Brigade Solicits Virginia’s Bucket Brigade is soliciting contributions to meet a critical need in the Rwandan refugee camps in Goma, Zaire. Due to the soil conditions, sanitary latrines cannot be dug, and aid workers are requesting large buckets for use as portable toilets. The request for 30,000 large paint buckets with lids will be filled by Letica Co. However, the Bucket Brigade needs to raise $60,000 to pay for the buckets, which cost $2 each. They will be transported to Zaire by the U.S. Air Force. Donations may be sent to: Leeds Church Bucket Brigade, Marshall National Bank, P.O. Box 38, Marshall, Va. 22115. All donations will be used to buy buckets, and any surplus will be used to purchase additional relief supplies requested by the camp staff.

B&B Approved, Competitors Concerned By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Town Council approved a special use permit for Mary Ann Kuhn to run a bed and breakfast in “The Maples,” which she intends to purchase from Newbill and Carol Miller. The sales contract for the property was contingent on Ms. Kuhn raceiving her special use permit. Ms. Kuhn said that she and her husband had split up and that she chose to stay in Rappahannock. She decided that she wanted a historic house, and wanted to be part of a community such as Washington. Her plans are to preserve “The Maples” and have five rooms available for the bed and breakfast business. She will also live in the house full-time. She said, ‘To me this endeavor is more of a personal commitment to this town than a business.” Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said that the Rappahannock County Health Department is prepared to issue a conditional permit to Ms. Kuhn, and that the alternate drainfield on the property should remain undisturbed. VDOT said I ‘ that she must upgrade the entrance to 20 feet wide, and pave the first 20 feet of the driveway from the road. Speaking for the Millers, attorney Doug Baumgardner said, “This property is ideally suited for this use.” He also said that Ms. Kuhn is not proposing any further improvements or enlarging the property. Council member Newbill Miller said, “It is a very difficult thing to sell a house you have lived in for 28 years. My contract is contingent on her receiving approval from this council.” He also said that the application complied with the zoning ordinance and that the property had acres of excellent perking soil. Phil Irwin, Chairman of the Bed and Breakfast Association of Rappahannock County, said, “My comments are not for or against the applicant.” He said that there are a total of 86 B&B rooms in the county, the same as Williamsburg, and that another B&B would mean less money for the others. A letter of opposition from Jean and Frank Scott of Heritage House B&B in Washington was read to the audience by Mayor Stewart Willis. It said, “As owners of The Heritage House Bed and Breakfast, we, along with eight others of our friendly competitors in Rappahannock County, find ourselves very concerned by the announcement of the application for operation of a five guestroom B&B in “The Maples” located in Washington, Va . . . It occurs to us that is may be time to declare a moratorium...” V The Scotts also said that their B&B is a marginal business at best. They said that they did not wish to “cause unhappiness for Ms. Kuhn,” or interfere in the sale of Mr. Miller’s property. “But, this deals with our livelihoods, and many of us are concerned,” they said. In the letter, the Scotts asked that “a final decision on this matter be postponed until a meeting can be convened of County and Town officials with Innkeepers of Rappahannock to further investigate the facts involved in this matter and consider the heed for a moratorium on further new Inns.” Mr. Reynolds advised the council that if they found that all of the conditions had been met in the zoning ordi nance, they must issue the special use permit. Also, he said, even if Ms. Kuhn sold the property it would still have a special use permit with it. The permit was approved unanimously, subject to final VDOT and Health Department approvals, and adequate screening (in the form of trees) to be added to the rear of the property so as to screen headlights from neighbors on Mt. Salem Avenue. Council member Newbill Miller did not vote on the issue (he is the seller of the property), and Ray Gooch disqualified himself from voting because of a dispute with the Millers over a drainfield on their property. In other business, Mayor Willis said that former mayor Dean Morehouse has been preparing a proposal to the Farmers’ Home Administration for a 50 percent loan and 50 percent grant to complete the town’s water system. The total amount needed is $130,000. Mayor Willis also said that he had been interviewing applicants for the administrative assistant position.

Flooding Worst Since Agnes By CINDY MAHAN and TONYA L.CUMMINGS Rappahannock News Staff Writer* Seventeen rescue personnel from Amissville performed a daring water rescue last Thursday night. According to two workers who responded to a call for chest pains at Cross Creek on U.S. 211, Chief J.B. Carter, Jr., and Robert Crofton, U.S. 211 was blocked when they arrived at the scene due to water across the road. Chief Carter said that the stream, which runs into the Rappahannock River 3/4 mile east of Cross Creek, was flooding and 11 or 12 people were caught in the houses across the stream from the road. Mr. Crofton said the water level was up to the top of the steps to the houses when they arrived. Mr. Crofton said that, assisted by the Warrenton and Culpeper volunteer rescue squads, the occupants of the houses were brought to safety using ropes tied to trees and guardrails. The children were carried above the water, while rescue workers held onto the ropes while slowly making their way through the water. Most of the rushing water was at least knee-deep; some was as high as the thigh. One elderly man, who had the chest pains, was rescued from the scene in a “Stokes basket,” which carried him above the water. Adults from the houses were evacuated in a more shallow part of the water, using ropes to hold onto as they walked through the water to safety. Chief Carter said that the old dance hall on the property was holding about five feet of water, and if that had given way in the flood, it would have been a “wall of water” coming down on all of them. Chief Carter said that this was the second time this year that the water had crested above U.S. 211 and flooded the low-lying areas near Cross Creek. He said the last time flooding had occurred in the same area was Site of Flash Flood High water closed U.S. 211 for several hours on the evening of Thursday, Aug. 11 Orfean : '■ : ■ ■ : V'Sa — ISgfi %i ' " $ iff ’>*J V?

Home-Based Business Seminar Set for Sept. 30 Home-based business owners and potential owners have an opportunity to develop business management skills. A one-day conference will be held at Graves Mountain Lodge, Syria, on Sept. 30. Opening remarks will be made by Del. Butch Davies on legal and legislative issues affecting home-based businesses as well as the potential impact of Disney. Other topics for the morning include networking, computer application and a market ing panel of local business owners. The lunchtime speaker will be from the Small Business Development Center in Charlottesville. In the afternoon, participants will hear from the IRS on how to stay out of tax trouble. In depth break out sessions will finish the conference. Resource tables and materials will be available. From both national and state perspectives, the need has been identified for current and potential home-based business owners to develop business management skills. According to a recent study, onefourth of all businesses fail within' the first three years as a result of: 1) no business plan; 2) inadequate working capital and cash flow; 3) financing; 4) lack of management skills; 5) errors in judgement; and 6) a lack of knowledge. Only 46 percent cited making a lot of money as a primary motivation for starting their own business. Sev enty-eight percent stated that having more control over their lives was an important reason, and 90 percent of owners said that they would go into business again. This educational program is sponsored by Virginia Cooperative Extension in Planning District 9. Cost for the entire day, including lunch is $18.50.

Whartons Open Sperryville Businesses By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Joyce and Albert Wharton of Sperryville have opened two new businesses on U.S. 211 in Sperryville. Mrs. Wharton is running the Christmas Cabin, located near the Country Elegance Store near the western end of Sperryville. She opened the shop on July 4, and has filled it with all kinds of Christmas goodies. Many years ago, Country Elegance was a restaurant, and the little cabins next to it were cottages rented out for the night. Mrs. Wharton said she has always loved Christmas, and is enjoying having her own store which sells all Christmas items. She makes some of the crafts herself, and is learning more all the time. She only . wishes she had more time to produce more. One of her best selling items is the bride and groom teddy bears. She has a six-foot Christmas tree decorated, and the rest of the 10 by 15 foot room also has various ornaments, snowballs, stuffed animals, doll clothes, honey, preserves and cider. Mrs. Wharton said, “I want to appeal to the local people mostly. To make it at business in this county you need the local people behind you,” she said. She said it is interesting meeting all the people who come by the shop. Soon she may be selling baked goods also, and there is a picnic table outside the shop where people can enjoy them. The store is open on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 12:30 to 5 p.m. Further up the road, toward downtown Sperryville, Mrs. Wharton’s husband Albert runs Wharton’s Gifts and Produce. It is located in the one-story aqua building with pink trim, not far from Estes Mill on U.S. 211. Mr. Wharton purchases most of the items locally, especially the pro Rappahannock Newt Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Sperryville residents Albert j and Joyce Wharton have j opened new businessess. Albert can be found at Whar- j ton’s Gifts and Produce on U.S. 211 near Estes Mill, while Joyce runs Christmas Elegance, also west of Sperryville on U.S. 211. i duce, and hopes to have the store open year round. Outside, the stands are filled with peaches, apples, cider, preserves and more. Inside, many crafts are for sale, along with childrens’ books, porcelain dolls, furniture, cotton afghans, pillows, and stuffed animals. Wharton’s Gifts and Produce is now open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. 'Cosmos' Kicks Off Library's Friday Night By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Why has it taken so long for us to understand our place in the Universe? The premiere program of the new season of Friday Nights at the Library will provide some original and thoughtful answers to this intriguing question at 8 p.m. on Sept. 9. Professor Gerald S. Hawkins has agreed to share the “results of 20 years of thinking and putting things together” which he revealed in his most recent book “Mindsteps to the Cosmos.” Could there be a relationship between Dr. Hawkins’ historic “decoding” of Stonehenge and his more recent discovery of “diatonic ratios” within the precise geometry of the interesting “crop circles” in England? Global audiences have recently been dramatically exposed to a myriad of media “flash-backs” celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Apollo II landing on the moon. Historic technological achievement seems to have become just another series of video sound and light bites intercut with rather mundane commercial spots. How far we’ve come, and gone, ■in a few short years. Is the once ; prestigious Space Age being reduced to the status of summer re runs? And what about that spectacular coverage of the truly awesome inter-planetary bombardment of the mysterious surface of the great planet Jupiter?

Are these recent revelations in some way symbolic to Dr. Hawkins’ Mindsteps? Don’t let the new concept of a “Mindstep to the Cosmos” become a challenge. I’ve read the interesting book from cover to cover and if I can understand the principles behind the scientific logic of the story then anyone can. The first Mindstep might have become dimly discemable to some advanced ET visitor about 35,000 years ago. A condensed version of the book jacket synopsis tell us: “In its search for a place in the Cosmos Humanity has made five dramatic leaps toward that goal: Mindstep 0 was the threshold of awakening when cave artists painted mystical symobls of the sun, moon and stars. Mindstep 1 spawned the Age of Myth and Legend, when people imagined the earth and sky were tom asunder, and told stories of gods and heroes. It produced the Pyramids, Stonehenge and the Nile temples designed to point to the stars and the moon.

Cattle Markets Reopen Virginia cattle producers should find few restrictions as they approach their fall feeder cattle sales season, according to state agriculture commissioner J. Carlton Courterlll. Following the discovery of tuberculosis lesions on cattle slaughtered in Pennsylvania, the virus was traced to Virginia and a Floyd County farm was quarantined, and the status of the entire state’s feeder cattle marketing was threatened. That cattle is generally marketed between 450 and 850 pounds, and are sold primarily to buyers in Midwestern states where they are fed until they reach their optimum slaughter weight. In June, the state’s TB-free certification was suspended and changed to “Accredited Free (Suspended)” after the first tests from the Floyd County farm were reported positive. Within days, that herd was destroyed and, with the cooperation of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, testing began on another 103 herds. That additional testing, involving some 4,600 animals, failed to reveal any additional positive results, and VDACS officials began contacting cattle markets in other states about easing the restriction. “This is the first time USD A has issued a special TB classification called ‘Accredited Free (Suspended),’ causing confusion throughout the country,” Courter said in a letter to state cattle producers and market operators. i That new status threatened the state’s fall cattle sales, the Commonwealth’s second largest agricultural enterprise. Feeder cattle sales accounted for $334 million in sales' last year. As a result of talks between VDACS’s Divisions of Animal Health and Marketing and officials in other states where the majority of Virginia feeder cattle are shipped, those states will not require TB testing for Virginia feeder cattle. Indiana, Michigan, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Kentucky will require only entry permits stating the origin and destination of the cattle, along with health certificates. Indiana will require testing for Floyd County cattle. Only Missouri has insisted on TB testing for all Virginia feeder cattle more than six months old, according to Courter. “The Virginia cattle industry is to be commended for the way it has pulled together and worked with the department in helping ease this crisis,” Courter said in his letter. Courter also noted that cattle producers and other industry participants are assisting with the Costs incurred in getting TB-free status returned. “Given the budgetary constraints we face, this cooperation could be a major factor in getting our TB-free status restored. It is this kind of spirit and effort tha has made Virginia’s feeder cattle industry the economic force that it is today.” George Washington Carver-Piedmont Technical Education Center 9432 James Madison Highway, Culpeper, VA 22701 Business, Occupational, and Apprenticeship Evening Classes Fall Semester 1994 COOE CLASS NAME \ Business and Occupational TIME Classes: DAY ROOM COST HOURS BEQIN ACCOM Accounting I 6:30-9:30 MON 23 $50 ACC021 Accounting II 6:30-9:30 THU 23 $50 AUT021 Automotive Systems 6:30-9:30 MON *2 $50 BOOOM Bookkeeping For The 6:00-9:00 THU 22 $50 Smal1 Business CADOM CAD I 6:30-9:30 MON 01 $50 COM011 WordPerfect 5.1 4:00-7:00 MON 03 $50 COM012 WordPerfect 5.1 7:00-9:30 THU 01 $50 COM013 WordPerfect 5.1 6:30-9:30 TUE 59 $50 (At Orange County High School) COMO23 WordPerfect 5.1 II 6:30-9:30 THU (At Orange County High School) COM031 Lotus 1-2-3 7:00-9:30 MON 03 $50 C0M051 Intro, to Computer 6:30-9:30 MON 13 $50 (Appleworks) COMO61 Intro.

T r~>e "Aud.l - i WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17,1994 Editorial What Follows Aileen ? In one sense] the news that the Aileen plant in Flint Hill will close in October was no surprise at all. • However, even after layoffs and stories of an impending closure that have circulated for years, the final word came as a shock to those dedicated employees who have labored there for years. They will get no severance package, and retirement benefits will be offered only to those with extended service. , Perhaps the hardest news was the reason behind the closing. Aileen, like so many American companies, cap make more money by exporting its raw materials to other countries that pay significantly lower wages than American workers earn — not that any of the employees at Aileen were socking away millions from their paychecks, either. After the manufacturing is completed the finished v products are reimported for sale to U.S. customers, ' generating a tidy profit for Aileen. There’s nothing new in this process — it’s been happening for years. What’s new, and newsworthy, is that this time it’s our neighbors who are left without jobs, without medical insurance, without severance pay and, in many cases, without retirement benefits. The argument advanced by free trade advocates is that those manufacturing jobs are low-skill, labor-intensive jobs, which should be sent overseas and replaced with high-tech, high-skill jobs here. But where are those jobs? Probably not here, and even if they were would the Aileen employees receive the\ training necessary to make them competitive? And how about the tax revenue the county has lost. In addition to the taxes paid by Aileen for its property here, there were taxes generated from the income of the workers who live here. There is also the Aileen plant itself. The building and site will presumably be sold, but for what use? That could be a tremendous opportunity, or a disaster. These are tough questions facing the county and its residents. In the coming weeks, the supervisors should carefully consider how the county should best fill the void left by Aileen. Eight little character traits behaving very well Will parents teach their children these? Who can ever tell?

In opposing a single payer health care program or indeed opposing any national program involving government i and therefore “bureaucracy,” the many lobbying groups, which are basically selfserving and profit motivated, are completely ignoring that our present “system” consists of a great number of competing private bureaucracies, many of which are extremely large, I multi-layered and inefficient, and which operate arbitrarily and restrictively. Hospitals, physicians, employers and patients must now negotiate with many, many insurance companies, HMO’s and other alliances, each of which is selective in choosing its physicians and other health care providers regardless of individual choice or convenience. Each “third party” payer has it’s own payment plan and method, it’s own cost-sharing system, it’s own restrictions; each operates with a different set of rules, and each day there is a new merger which produces bigger and bigger alliances with more and more restrictions. Neither patients nor physicians can now freely choose either each other or his or her consultant or hospital. The bottom line is profit in the guise of efficiency, not clinical care based upon medical need. Decisions are increasingly made not by physicians or patients but by private bureaucrats, who are anonymous and do not know either participant, and usually by phone. In my view, though no program can be perfect, the single payer plan, regulated by the government, which distant though it may be, comes closest to representing all of the people than does any private corporation, is the simplest, fairest, in the long run the most cost-effective, and the only ope which really offers a full range of freedom of choice. ; It is the plan favored by many countries, including Canada, and aK though it has been much criticized; much of the criticism is out-dated or misrepresented. In such a plan there would be only one “bureaucracy”, not dozens; this could be no more inefficient nor costly than the many we now have and would continue t<) have under the proposals now under consideration, except the ones proposed by Sen. Wellstone and Rep, McDermott, the latter a physician himself. ; It is not too late to influence your congressional representatives and others in the House or Senate. I DR. WILLIAM H. YOUNG JR; Washington The Writer's Art Media Figures in Misuse of Numbers By JAMES J. KILPATRICK The Court of Peeves, Irks & Crotchets resumes its summer assizes with a complaint from Billie Ruth Wood of Auburn, Ala. She is irked by the misuse of numbers in the media, and she wants the court to stop it. Very well. The court says, “Stop it! This minute!” Alas, it is not so easy. The court has been hobnobbing with newspapermen (and women) for the past 52 years. With a few notable exceptions, we of the press are arithmetical numbskulls. We probably were bom that way. Ms. Wood buttresses her complaint with a clipping from the Opelika-Auburn News of last October. The story had to do with the Lee County Youth Development Center, which houses far more boys than girls. In fact, “the ratio of girls to boys is probably four to one.” Well, no. The ratio of girls to boys is probably one to four. Larry Meyer of Seattle submitted a question to the court two years ago. He asked, “What is an order of magnitude?” Manifesting its craven cowardice in these matters, the court has held the question in chambers, but it can 'Alas, it is not so easy . . . With a few notable exceptions, we of the press are arithmetical numbskulls. We probably were born that way.' no longer be evaded. The gentleman asks, “Is it just another — more pretentious — way of saying ‘a large amount’ or ’a lot’?” Well, yes. The court has an uneasy feeling that writers who write of “an order of magnitude” are the same writers who suppose that a parameter is a boundary. After consulting with a consultant, the court will say only that the term comes out of astronomy, as a measure of rating the brightness of stars. Orders of magnitude are based upon factors of 10. Applied figuratively to the brightness of politicians, it means that Senator Nerd is one-tenth as bright as Senator Wonk. They differ by an order of magnitude. The court probably has this all wrong, but courts are often wrong and this docket has to be cleared. Next case. Tom E. Moore of Clarksville, Va., writes that CNN recently reported that “one child is killed every two hours.” That child must be a very tough kid, he surmises, to be killed, restored to life, and killed again 12 times every day. He moves that CNN be required to withdraw this alarming calculation in favor of, “Every two hours a child is killed.” Motion granted. Several readers have filed a class-action against reporters who say, for example, that “This new thread is 100 times smaller in diameter than a human hair.” Or, “The new road-surfacing material will cost three times less than standard concrete.” Numbers do not work that way. If the thread were one time smaller than the hair, the thread would disappear altogether. Stated properly, the thread is l/100th the diameter of the hair. The same thing is true of the new paving material. If it were one time less expensive than concrete, it would cost nothing at all. Presumably the writer meant that the new stuff would cost one-third as much as the old stuff. On to more cosmic matters. Milton U. Wiser of Lakeland, Fla., asks the court to admonish The Associated Press for a graphic last fall oh home-run production. The AP’s chart was intended to illustrate a story about Mark McGwire, who reached the 200-home-run milestohe with the fewest at-bats in major league history. To make its point, the chart provided data on “HR per AB.” Oops! Amazingly, Ralph Kiner was thus credited with 12.69 home runs per time at bat, Babe Ruth was 12.0 HR per AB, and Mark McGwire with 14.2 HR per AB. Obviously the AP’s chart maker had things exactly backward. The artist meant “AB per HR.” Otherwise, Ruth would have had 33,282 home runs in 2,580 times at bat. He actually had 200 homers in this period, or roughly one in every 13 times at bat. Not bad hitting. The court still has a full docket, including a request from an airline captain that the court suppress the speech of gate agents and flight attendants. This raises a First Amendment question of some order of magnitude, but the court forgets which order. COPYRIGHT 1994 UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

Tom Zumwalt had set up new microphones for this meeting, to see if they would solve the problem of bad acoustics in the Town Hall. They seemed to work fine if the person speaking would be no further than four or five inches away from the microphone. Charles Eldred, one of the three members of the Street Lighting Committee, said that he and members Peter Kramer and Tom Tupper had not been able to have & meeting yet. However, Mr. Kramer attended a meeting in Harpers Ferry, W.Va.,and Mr. Eldred reported on that. In a letter to the Town Council, Mr. Eldred said, “There was considerable discussion of P.E.’s (Potomac Edison’s) uncooperative attitude relating to the design selection proc BUY!

He also saic that there had been discussion about holding another meeting with “a rep resentative with authority” from Po tomac Edison. Mayor Willis said that the mortgage was due on the Town Hall, anc that he wanted to extend the mortgage. One lending institution quotec him a rate of 101/4 percent. The balance on the loan is $43,743. Mr. Reynolds recommended that the counci look for a private lender in the county. Mr. Gooch made a motion that al members of council have their owt key to the Town Hall and to th< town office, which is upstairs in the Town Hall. The motion was passec with the understanding that key: could not be loaned out or reproduced. Mr. Gooch also brought up the problem of recent vandalism in the town. He said that a brick had beer thrown through the back window o: a car belonging to a guest at the Foster-Harris House, and someone hac spray-painted a Mercedes Bern parked in front of Heritage House.

High Street CHARLOTTESVILLE 904/971-9777 thought that some people have been encouraged to loiter around the fountain. “I think we really need to atop this too,” he said. ►Aileen f From Page A-l said she was too upset to even discuss it. Many of the approximately 160 employees at the Flint Hill plant have been working there for 20 yeare or longer. One woman, who has been there since 1962, when the plant first opened, said, “It is scary. We worked a lot of Saturdays to get our work done. I think it is downright cruel.” Another said, “I don’t know what people with kids will do, especially the single parents.” After the announcement, it was reported, some women cried; some were mad. “There were a lot of mad women out there,” said another employee. “There have been women working there who pushed themselves to no end to see that orders got done and got out of there on time,” said another. The employees interviewed for this article said they feel unappreciated despite the hard work and overtime they have put in year after year. Many complained of never receiving answers to their questions about the plant’s possible closing, . and management that didn’t seem to care about them. In recent weeks, employees re-' ported that sewing machines and fans have been removed from the plant to be sent to the Dominican Republic. One employee said, “I’ve been there 28 years; I don’t need to be treated this way.” * One of the biggest problems to be faced by the employees will be paying their monthly bill for health insurance. Present employees pay about $9 a week for their insurance, just for one person. When the plant closes, health insurance will be offered for 18 months, but that cost will rise to $172.50 a month. For a family, the cost will be $481 monthly. For a husband and wife, or single parent and one child, it would be $172.50 each, or $345. One employee said, “Some husband and wife teams work there. Both will be out of a job and have to pay a lot for insurance.” Another employee said, “Many worked for $4.75 an hour to pay the insurance for their families.” Efforts to find out the number of employees who are Rappahannock County residents were fruitless, but employees who spoke to the Rappahannock News estimated that about half the work force are county residents. The rest commute from surrounding counties. Jobs at other Aileen plants were not offered to the Flint Hill employees. Mr. Fadely said that severance packages were also not offered. According to personnel manager Vicki Mennick of the Edinburg i plant, retirement benefits will be as signed to those who qualify, which: would include those employees who are at least 55 years old and have had a minimum of 10 years’ service with the company. • ‘ Last Friday, Aileen employeesat the plant in Victoria, Va., south*. west of Petersburg, received notifi-' cation that plant would also beclosing in 60 days. Workers at the Victoria plant produce clothing that* matches clothing made at Flint HilL: One plant makes the “tops” and the other makes the “bottoms.” Accord-' ing to Mr. Fadely, only the Edin-" burg and Woodstock plants wouldremain open in Virginia when the' Flint Hill and Victoria plants close. Many workers have not been trained in other jobs and will have a difficult time finding something else. However, Jerry Larkins, who is the' manager of employment transition services for the Virginia Employment Commission, plans on visiting with management at the Flint Hill plant sometime this week to assess the needs of the employees. He said that all employees will be eligible for all the services provided by the Dislocated Workers’ Program, which is specifically designed for people who have lost their jobs. Job training will be one of the services offered the employees. Mr. Fadely said the plant and the house next to it, which the plant manager used to live in, will be put up for sale. County Administrator John McCarthy was contacted to see if there are any plans for possible future uses for the building, and he said there were none. The Flint Hill plant would have celebrated its 32nd anniversary this October. I Starks Completes Basic Training Army Pvt. Tyrone T. Starks completed basic training at Fort Jackson, in Columbia, S.C.

They were returning home from the Flint Hill parade, and had decided to go home via U.S. 211 so they could stop in Warrenton for dinner. “It was a downpour. We had to pull off the road twice and wait for it to let up,” she said. “The water was coming up to the hubcaps.” Mrs. Lauterback said she knew there was a low spot at Cross Creek, but didn’t realize how deep the water had gotten or how fast it was rushing. “There were cars sitting all along the road,” Mrs. Lauderback said, l ' explaining that they arrived before the rescue crews. She said they had a car phone, but couldn’t get it to work. “No one could get through. Both lanes were flooded with about three feet of water,” she said. She said cars would try to drive through the water, and she tried to flag down a camper to warn the occupants of the flooded road, but it kept going. “I tried my hardest to flag them down. I saw the camper hit its brakes and then it just disappeared,” she said. “The lights just disappeared and we don’t know what happened.” Mrs. Lauterback and her husband sat in their truck-camper for two to three hours before rescue crews and State Police troopers were able to re-route the traffic onto ' U.S. 522 to Front Royal.

• Community News • Obituaries Real Estate Classifieds Rappahannock News WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1994 Gleason's Rainbow Run Stables A Labor Of Love By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Nrw. SUIT Writer Nancy Gleason is so excited about her new venture, Rainbow Run Riding Stables. “What better living for yourself than to come out here, ride the horses and love them?” she said. , Mrs. Gleason and her family took over the trail ride business from Alson Atkins last fall. He ran Rainbow Run in Sperryville for 21 years, and retired at the age of 81. She relocated the 10 horses to their new pastimes and bams on property she rents from Phyllis Poore, of Ashtree Stables. The stables are located on U.S. 211, about one mile east of Washington, on the north side of the road. Mrs. Gleason has access to 65 acres of trails, both out in the open over gently rolling hillsides with mountain views, and through the woods, where it is a good 15 degrees cooler on a sunny day.' 11 The area is very secluded, and possibilities for glorious views seem to be endless. Last week, Mrs. Gleason and some of her trail riders observed a doe with twin fawns, a grey fox, and a bear with her cub. One of the draws for the animals could be the many fruit trees which dot the area. She had to sell one of the 10 horses she had bought from Mr. Atkins, because he started) throwing riders, namely, she and her husband. She did not think it would be a good idea to keep him for trail rides. He now has a new owner who rides him every week through nearby mountains. The other nine horses are very sweet and even tempered. They have been used to riders for over 21 years, and are good at the job they do. Mrs. Gleason’s daughters have had fun buying new halters and bridles for the horses. Sugar, the cal I Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Nancy Gleason admires Sugar’s new bridle. mest of all, wears a red and white halter with hearts on it; it fits her personality. Mrs. Gleason has been riding horses since she was nine, and her father bought her a 22 year-old horse when she was 12. She grew up in Michigan, where most riding is done Western style, and taught Western for 19 years. At Rainbow Run, she teaches Western-style riding besides doing the trail rides, and presently has eight regular students. Except for a short hiatus from riding, Mrs. Gleason has always been around horses. When she and her family moved to Woodbridge from the Midwest, they discovered Rainbow Run Stables in Sperryville and began riding there often. Mr. Atkins informed Mrs. Gleason when he was thinking of retiring and she jumped at the idea of purchasing his horses. She took possession of them last December “just before the bad weather set in,” she said. During the ice storms, the horses were upset by the sound of the freezing rain hitting the barn roof, so Mrs. Gleason spent several nights consoling the horses in the two barns. While on trail rides, though, she said that nothing will spook the horses, not thunder, other animals, or anything. On weekends, Mrs. Gleason’s husband, daughter and son help out with the trail rides. She lives out here all the time, but the rest of her family still resides in Woodbridge. On Aug. 6, 7 and 8, when the weather was probably the best of this year, she had 55 people for trail rides. I She said that most weekdays are usually slow, but weekends and Mondays are her busiest days. Trail rides during the full moon are also available at Rainbow Run. There are trails for beginners and rougher ones for experienced riders. A half hour ride costs $8, and an hour is $15. Lessons for riding West Gleason rides Shadow, one of nine Rainbow Run horses. ~ em style cost $20 an hour.

Lynn Wins National Blue Ribbon Welby Lynn and the state of Virginia took first place for the scrapbook she assembled for the National Junior Classical League Convention in Knoxville, Tenn., July 31 through Aug. 5. 'At last year’s convention at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Welby was elected historian for the Virginia delegation. That made her responsible for the state’s scrapbook to be submitted at this year’s convention. This meant that she would try to include reports on events in many of the state’s 105 chapters of the Junior Classical League. She was able to include reports from 23. The scrapbook also included several pages on last year’s national convention and this year’s state convention. However Welby’s scrapbook was far more than the usual collection of pictures and notices. For the cover she created a wooden picture frame and filled it with a mosaic tile picture. She made the tiles herself, painted and glazed them and laid them carefully into the pattern. Some of the inside pages are col lages of photographs and souvenirs, but others are beautiful watercolors, often with pop-up features built in. Classical themes are reflected in the paintings. Welby said many of the members of Virginia’s 201-member delegation poured over the scrapbook four and five times admiring her work. They were sure their state would win, but she was worried about whether the scrapbook would hold up to this heavy use. The pages were stitched together using dental floss. The judges kept them in suspense, calling out state winners counting backwards from 10th place. Cheers greeted the final news that Virginia had won the scrapbook competition. Welby has left quite a challenge for the young man who took over at this convention as next year’s historian for the state of Virginia. The National convention brought together 1,600 people from 37 states and one Canadian province. The National Junior Classics League is the largest academic student organization in the world with more than 50,000 members. Virginia sent the largest delegation. ' Welby will be a senior at Wakefield Country Day School this fall. She is the daughter of Pamela Lynn and the late William Lynn who founded the school. WCDS sent seven representatives to the convention. Besides the first place for the scrapbook Welby Was a member of an Open Certamen team which took second place. She won a first place for pen and ink drawings and second place awards for pastel and watercolors. She had fourth place in cartoons. She won fifth place for academic competitions in Greek derivatives, Roman history, and Roman life, eighth place for Latin literature, ninth place for quotes and mottoes, and Latin derivatives, and tenth place for vocabulary and a creative essay. Andrew Inglis won fifth place for mosaics for grades 6 through 8 and seventh place in Hellenic history. Nick Konick won seventh place in Roman life. .. .... -■ . \ 'll Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Welby Lynn’s watercolor drawings filled Virginia’s NJCL scrapbook entry. Fauquier Free Clinic's Volunteers Dispense Top-Qualitv Care By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer There’s good news for Rappahannock residents who live on a limited income and have no health insurance, Medicaid or Medicare benefits. The Fauquier Free Clinic, which opened in July, 1993, began accepting patients from Rappahannock County last March. According to Director Linda Coit, 1,300 Rappahannock County residents would qualify for the services of the clinic, based on income. That is nearly 20 percent of the county’s population. The level of income must be at or below 125 percent of federal poverty guidelines, which is $8,700 annually for an individual. For each family member, add an extra $3,000. Also, children up through age 12 are always welcome, no matter what the income or insurance status of their parents. There are 23 free clinics in Virginia, the most in the country. They began to pop up around the country in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The oldest one is in Richmond, and Culpeper opened one two years ago. Ms. Coit said that Dr. Trice Gravatte of Fauquier County saw there was a need in the county and began the organizing for the free clinic. Ms. Coit was hired as the director in May 1993, and visited all the free clinics around Virginia to see how each one operated. She culled ideas from each one, and now seems to be running an extremely efficient office at the clinic in Fauquier. Though some people may think that the clinic is similar to a county health department, Ms. Coit says, “We try not to duplicate what is at the health department.” The free clinic concentrates on treating illnesses, rather than being a source of preventive care. The , staff, however, does spend a lot of time with clients explaining their illnesses and what to do about them. Ms. Coit said, “We emphasize patient education at the clinic. The nurses play a big role about educating people at the clinic.” The most common illnesses treated at the clinic are high blood pressure, diabetes, pulmonary diseases (asthma, bronchitis), and urinary tract infections. Clients who have sexually transmitted diseases or require a pap smear are referred to other clinics. Clients who require specialized care are referred to specialists located mostly in Warrenton, where a doctor will see them in their office at no charge. Thirty doctors and 20 nurses volunteer their services at the clinic. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Free clinic director Linda Coit speaks with a client. Flint Hill resident Susan Achenbach volunteers her nursing services there every second Thursday. “We have a continuity of care there that I did not expect to find. The clients come back because they know the care is good. I just love it, and look forward to it,” she said. Other Rappahannock volunteers are nurses Karen Flynn and Marion Sharp of the Rappahannock County Health Department, and Dr. Jerry 'The clients come back because they know the care is good. I just love it.' — Susan Achenbach Volunteer nurse Martin. Administrative volunteers are Peggy Smith and Mary Grimes. Marion Sharp also recently became a member of the board of the free clinic. The clinic is located in the same building as the Fauquier County Health Department, at 330 Hospital Drive, Warrenton, and is open on Thursday evenings. Registration takes place from 5:30 to 6:30, and everyone registered within that time period is guaranteed to receive care that evening. During clinic hours, there are usually two doctors, four nurses and five administrative volunteers on staff. The clinic is fortunate to receive free samples of drugs from several doctors for its pharmacy. The Fauquier Hospital provides clients with free basic diagnostic testing, including urinalyses, blood work and Xrays. Blue Cross Blue Shield contributes $25,000 annually to every free clinic in the state, in hopes of cutting down on the use of hospital emergency rooms for primary care. Virginia Commonwealth University is presently Working on a study to see if the free clinics have put a dent in the amount of emergency room use for other than real emergencies. An eight-week course, “The Mothering Workshop,” sponsored by the clinic, will begin on Monday, Sept. 12. It is open to residents of Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties. Classes will be geared toward pregnant women and teens, and will cover subjects ranging from health during pregnancy to options in birthing. The course is made possible through a grant from the March of Dimes Foundation. It will take place at the Warrenton United Methodist Church at 341 Church St., Room C23, from 10 a. m to 12 noon on Mondays, Sept. 12 through Oct. 31. Free babysitting will also be provided. Space for the course is limited. Call the Fauquier Free Clinic, (703) 347-0394, by Sept. 1 to register.

On roads Routes 639 and 730 residents are accustomed to having Indian Run flood the roads several times a year but last Thursday they were literally trapped in, as all surrounding roads were also flooded. Thanks to the heroic efforts of Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue personnel, nine people were rescued at Cross Creek. One elderly gentleman had to be carried out in a stretcher by six rescuers while they held onto ropes as they crossed the swift, waist-high waters. / We had just experienced heavy flooding just two weeks earlier on July 27 which again washed out Route 639 at Indian Run.

But it was all worth it after I found the picture of Nip and Tuck when they were puppies. I sat down there and then in the cold, dusty room and recalled the day my husband Bob brought them home to our daughter Carol. How she laughed and loved them and flung her arms around both our necks in excited gratitude. How much fun we three had, watching the cunning antics of the canine infants. Nip is gone now . duly mourned and buried under our apple tree, and Tuck, gray and crotchety, limps if he moves too fast. Carol lives in Cincinnati in a happy home of her ow n, and I'carry roses to the cemetery on the hill. What a wonderful gift memory is.

4-H Outdoor Cooking Class Shares Recipes By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Afent, Home Economics At 4-H Overnight Camp for Rappahannock-Fauquier counties last week, I taught the Outdoor Cooking class and had a great time with the campers. For Lesson one we learned how to build a fire, safety rules to follow, equipment to use, and made Apple Delights. For Lesson two we made Pizza Fondue and S’mores. On Day three we learned to cook veggies on the grill. We roasted silver queen com (from Ben Venue Farm) in the husks, which was delicious, and made vegetable kabobs. For Lesson four we made Banana Boats for dessert. Our goal was to make a variety of foods from entrees to vegetables to desserts. Safety First 1. Fire should always be attended. / 2. Tie back loose hair and loose clothing. 3. Strike matches away from your body. 4. Never lean over the fire. 5. Every fire should have a shovel, fire bucket of cool water, hot pads and mitts, and weather-proof matches. 6. Use a cutting board to chop and slice vegetables. Always cut away from your body. Here are the recipes we made. Apple Delight To Prepare Apple Delight: Core r and chop 1 apple in fairly large pieces. Mix 1 teaspoon sugar, a few raisins, a pinch of cinnamon with 1 tablespoon biscuit mix. Stir into the chopped apple. Grease a double piece of foil. Put apple mixture in center of foil. « Fold.
