Book Day Set Up There will be no rental fees charged for textbooks this year, so instead of fee day, the public schools have scheduled “Book Day” for Thursday August 1 from 1 to 5 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. at both schools. High school students will pay book fees and tuition associated with college classes, but will not have to pay for textbooks or fees associated i with regular dadses. High school students may purchase gym clothes, parking permits, and school insurance. Once students pick up their pack1 eta and complete enclosed forms they may meet their teachers and get their textbooks. t At the elementary school students and parents are invited to meet their teachers, purchase school insurance and pick up textbooks. Both schools’ principals encourage parents to come out for Book Day and meet their children’s teachers. The General Assembly mandated free textbooks in state public schools and partially funded the cost. The county has to pick up the bulk of the cost, however, and in future years that may add one cent or more to the property tax rate. At the high school following “Book Day” at 8 p.m. volunteers will be organizing the Rappahannock Educational Assistance Program (REAP). Parents, retirees and other members of the community are encouraged to come out and volunteer. High school teachers have been polled for their suggestions. They say they will welcome help in a wide variety of areas. Volunteers are needed to assist and monitor in the computer lab, make copies of materia als to free up more planning time for teachers, tutor on a small group or one-on-one basis, sponsor academic clubs such as debate, chaperone on field trips, help with special projects such as science fair, plays and art shows, answer phones and take messages in the school office, teach SAT preparation classes, supervise the lunch room and halls, assist in the library, and share their expertise in a variety of fields with high school students. The decision to organize a volunteer program at the high school grew out of a team of school employees and community members that has been meeting to develop plans for improving the academic programs at the high school. Team members believe involving members of the community in the school will lead to many improvements. High School Volunteer Organization Forming Council Candidates Charged with Election Law Violations By CINDY MAHAN Kappahannoek New* Staff Writer Doris Critzer and Mary Updike, who ran unsuccessfully for seats on the Washington Town Council last May, received summonses last week to appear in court on September 20. Both women have been charged with misdemeanors regarding violations of election laws. According to Major Ed Streapy of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office, they were charged with circulating sample ballots before the last Washington Town Council election which did not comply with the law set forth for such ballots, as stated in Virginia Code Sections 24.2-622 and 24.2-1014. These code sections state that it is unlawful to print and circulate sample ballots which do not show who authorized them, and are printed on white paper (any other color is acceptable). As stated in Virginia Code Section 24.2-1014, “It shall be unlawful for any person to cause any writing other than a television or radio broadcast to appear concerning any potential nominee or candidate, or concerning any question to be submitted to the voters unless such writing plainly identifies the person responsible for it. The writing shall carry the statement ‘authorized by*... and contain the following information to complete the statement: The name of the candidate if the writing is authorized by the candidate or his campaign committee;...” If found guilty of the offense, Ms. Critzer and Ms. Updike will have to pay $50 in civil penalties. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that there were some other items distributed prior to the election that are still being investigated. ■■ 1 Well at Aileen Plant t Found Contaminated By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer During a routine testing of the well water at the Aileen plant last November, unacceptable standards for volatile organic compounds, otherwise known as VOC’s, were detected. Trichloroethylene (TCE) was found in the water samples in amounts which exceed acceptable EPA limits for regulated VOC’s. According to Chris Demme, District Engineer for the Division of Water Programs at the State Health Department’s Culpeper office, a water sample taken from the well in November, 1993 found .010 parts per million (ppm) of trichloroethylene, .014 in December, 1993, and .013 in March, 1994. The acceptable level established by the EPA is 0.005 ppm. Mr. Demme said that the first time testing for VOC’s was required was in 1993, and the first test done for that at the Aileen plant was in November, 1993. “As soon as Aileen was notified they had high levels, they got their environmental consultant right away and got bottled water (for the workers in the plant). They were very responsive,” said Mr. Demme. Aileen Utility Manager Donate Litten said, “The Health Department recommended that we go to bottled water while we do a site assessment.” He said that a site assessment is in progress, and that Aileen is complying with all requests from the Health Department. Mr. Demme said, “Some of the VOC’s detected are related to dry cleaning solvents.” However, until a study of the water contamination situation is completed in about a month, it will not be known for certain what the source of the contamination is and to what extent it has spread. According to Bob Faha, Regulatory Service Supervisor at the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in Woodbridge, his office is dealing with Aileen and their consultants and will decide what is the best course of action. He said that what the consultants will do, who have been hired by Aileen, is to identify the source of the contamination, and then complete a site characterization, which will show how far the contamination has spread. Mr. Faha also said that it will have to be determined if the source of the TCE is actually a waste product of the synthetic chemical (after it has been used), in which case it would be i-. « a waste problem, or if the chemical leaked from a tank into the groundwater, in which case it would be a water problem. Once that is determined, the contamination would be treated as such, and would be dealt with differently within different departments of DEQ. “We have waste experts and water experts,” he said. DEQ hydrogeologist Billy von Till has also been working on the case. He has been working with the consultants, and said he expects to have the results of their testing in about a month. At that time, said Mr. Faha, his office will decide what kind of corrective action should be taken. j A water sample taken at the Flint Hill Pentecostal Church, 1,000 feet down the road from the Aileen plant, also showed the presence of higher than acceptable levels of TCE. Aileen is also providing the church with bottled water, as there is the possibility that the contamination came from their plant. Mr. von Till also said that his office is sampling about 10 of the residential wells in the area near the plant to see if any of those are contaminated. Aileen plans on selling the plant, land and house on the adjoining lot once the plant closes on October 12. No one contacted for this article could say just who would be responsible financially for the clean-up of the contamination, especially since Aileen has been in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy situation since last January. The Aileen plant is in the process of having their sewage plant discharge permit re- f newed for another five years. According to Jennie Dollard of DEQ, the permit is due to be renewed September 30. As a condition for the renewal, new 1992 standards for ammonia and nitrogen in the discharge must be met in four years. Ms. Dollard said she could not estimate the cost of meeting the new standards of two milligrams of ammonia per liter of water because there is no data on the amount of ammonia currently in the discharge. “It could be simple, or it could involve major construction,” she said. i When the plant is sold, DEQ would transfer the permit to the new owner. -DEQ would have to be notified within 30 days of the sale, Ms. Dollard said. Sludge inspection Rappahannock News Staff Pho«o/Sharon Kilpatrick Members of the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors toured the Blue Plains Sewage Treatment Plant in Washington, D.C. earlier this month, in preparation for their joint public hearing on readopting the ban on land application of sludge scheduled for September 12. Residential Care Facility Application Postponed Greenhouse Amendments Approved By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of the Planning Commission tabled an application for a special use permit last week from Terri and John Diley of Amissville for a residential care facility. Some members of the Planning Commission felt that the »*'r'lication had not included enough informal/ • them to make a decision about their request. They asked the Dileys to meet again with County Administrator John McCarthy and answer all the questions, using the Comprehensive Plan as a guide, concerning the residential care facility they hoped to have in their home. The Dileys were asked to return next month to again discuss their application. The Dileys said that they wish to have a minor residential care facility in their home and take care of up to five people. Mrs. Diley said that she has taken care of elderly people in their own homes since she was 14. She now wishes to take care of them in her own home. An amendment to the Zoning Ordinance regarding greenhouses passed unanimously. The planners voted to amend Section 17036(G), “such that Nursery (greenhouse mostly wholesale) is permitted by special use permit only in RR-5, and that it is not allowed in the RV and R-2 Zoning Districts.” Currently, the greenhouses are allowed by right in all of these districts.

By JOHN JEFFRIES Soil Comerration Technician With only a few months to go until the Dec. 31 Farm Bill implementation deadline, fanners who have not already done so will be scrambling to put conservation plans into practice. The 1985 Food Security Act and the 1990 Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act both encourage the reduction of soil erosion, the retention of wetlands, and the protection of environmentally sensitive cropland. Conservation compliance applies to farmers or landowners who continue to plant annually tilled crops on highly erodible fields. By implementing a conservation plan, a farmer will reduce soil loss to a level that is both technically and economically acceptable. To remain eligible for certain USD A program benefits, the farmer must be actively using a locally approved conservation plan and must have that plan fully implemented by Dec. 31,1994. , For more information about the conservation plan provisions or for more conservation planning assistance, call the local Soil Conservation Service office in Culpeper, 8254200. .

Summer Reading Program Is a Success By ELIZABETH JONES Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County Library’s summer reading program, “Reading is a Magic Trip,” started on June 23 with “Cartooning for Kids,” presented by Jim Sizemore. He taught the participants how to use simple shapes as the basis for drawing their own cartoon characters. ■ Rappahannock’s own Lorraine Duisit Espinola presented a marvelous, spirited musical program composed of various songs she had . written since moving to live in the country. She accompanied herself on the autoharp, mandolin, and guitar. “Strawberry picking,” “Ratatouille,” and the honking horn song were some of the group’s favorites. Tina Liza Jones from Floyd County, Va. presented a lively and instructive musical program. The participants were invited to join in the singing of old and new favorites. Ms. Jones taught the participants how to sign the words to “I don’t want to stay with the baby sitter.” They also learned how to clog dance. Bob Brown’s Puppets, sponsored by F & M-Winchester, Flint Hill Office, presented “Old MacDonald’s Farm.” It was a hilarious introduction to many of the characters and animals found on a farm. Some of the favorites were Hay Fever, a dancing scarecrow; Merlin the Magician, an owl; and Jeremiah, a bullfrog. One of the favorite performers was storyteller, musician Bill Wellington who presented a lively program. He entertained with traditional and original songs and stories.

At the Washington Town Council on August 10, Mayor Stew Willis and Tom Zumwalt received approval from the council to be the two members who would decide who to hire for the position. All members of the council voted on the motion, but Reinhardt Lynch and Ray Gooch voted against it, believing that all members should be involved in the hiring decision. Mr. Zumwalt and Steve Critzer were nominated by Mayor Willis to serve on the Water Authority. He said there will be more structured requirements for reporting once the water system is completed. New testing equipment will be needed and the budget may need to be amended in order to pay for it. A public hearing will be held at the next Town Council meeting to do this. Mr. Critzer said that he will be resigning from the Architectural Review Board, but will remain on the Planning Commission.

" , • President Clinton and the U.S. Congress have managed to make a complete hash qf health care reform. The consumers of health care have been left behind while health care providers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and physicians, battle over the potential spoils. We agree with Dr. William Young's opinion, expressed , in a Letter to the Editor last week, that the best solution would be a Canadian-style, single-provider system. While Canada’s system may not be perfect, we doubt many Canadians would swap it for either the current U.S. system or any being proposed currently. A system that requires employers to provide health insurance for employees puts American employers at a disadvantage in competing with companies in other Countries that don’t have that additional cost of labor. The cost of providing health insurance for employees is surely one of the main reasons more and more jobs are part-time with no benefits. ,k 1 i A system that merely hopes employers will provide health insurance for employees will, no doubt, lead to fewer and fewer employees covered by insurance and will continue the current system where those who have insurance subsidize the health care of those who do not. What is needed now is a very basic package of health benefits provided by the Federal, not state, government and paid for by taxes, perhaps a mix of payroll taxeg, sin taxes on both alcohol and tobacco products, income taxes and a small national sales tax. The basic package should include prenatal care and well baby care. Since the issue is so contentious, it should probably not cover abortion. It should not cover heroic Pleasures to prolong death. It should not cover care of extremely premature underweight infants. It should not ' provide liver transplants for those who have abused alcohol And destroyed the ones they were bom with. * Insurance companies could be offered the opportunity to sell insurance to supplement the basic package, but Companies would get no tax breaks for providing it for employees. This is a proposal large numbers of American voters could support. There is no discemable support for the hodge podge of proposals being debated in Congress. .* \ Oh no! North Supported To the Editor. This year Republicans have an historic opportunity to regain control of the US Senate and stop Bill Clinton’s efforts to socialize and destroy our health care system dead in its tracks. But we won’t have the votes in the Senate to make this happen unless Virginia elects Oliver North to the U.S. Senate. One vote makes a huge difference in the Senate. Last year, Senator Chuck Robb cast the tie breaking votes to pass the largest tax increase in American history. If Oliver North had been there on that day last year, he would have voted with our Senior Senator John Warner and our taxes would be lower today because of it. We would not have an increase in our gas tax and we would not be paying significant new retroactive taxes if Oliver North had been in the Senate last year instead of Chuck Robb. Chuck Robb has voted against Virginia’s defense industry time and time again. His support of Bill Clinton’s defense cuts will cost Virginia over 70,000 jobs in the years to come. Oliver North has pledged to rebuild our nation’s defenses if he is elected to the Senate, especailly in the face of growing threats from around the world. The bottom line is that this year may well be the best time this century that we can elect a majority of Republicans to the Senate. If we do that, Bill Clinton is a one term President and his liberal agenda goes nowhere. unver wortn is now tied with Chuck Robb in the polls. He has more grassroots support than the other candidates combined. He has raised the kind of money it takes to win a U.S. Senate seat and he has campaigned hard for years now. He has earned his party’s nomination and is a man who keeps his commitments. He is the only conservative in this race and he is the only one who has the resources to beat Chuck Robb in November. Oliver North will make a tremendous U.S. Senator, and he could very well be the deciding vote to ensure a Republican takeover of the U.S. Senate. Ollie North stands for the policies Virginians have traditionally espoused. • Limited government and individual freedom. ( • Reduced spending. • Lower taxes. • Free enterprise and support for small business. • Freedom from crime and encouragement of our law enforcements officers. • A strong and effective National Defense and Foreign policy. Please join me in supporting fellow 10th District Republican Oliver North of Clarke County. I know him, and I believe he will serve us well. JAMES E. RICH Chairman, 10th District Republican Committee Carnival Supporters Thanked To the Editor: The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company would like to take the time to say thank you to everyone who helped and supported our 1994 annual carnival, making it a great success.

KENT REEVE Chairman, Rappahannock County l Democratic Committee Rally Supporters Thanked • To the Editor: Due the generous contributions of time by volunteers and donations by local merchants, the Rappahannock Rug-Rat Road Rally and FunFest was a great success. I We had 26 cars, and over 60 participants! I was exceptionally pleased with the support we received in the community. This was a first time for an event of this type for CCLC. I hope the response that it elicited, bodes well for similar events in the future! I would like to extend a personal thank you to all the participants, volunteers, and sponsors of the Rappahannock Rug-Rat Road Rally. I had a great time working with Christine Keller, Tom Pendleton and Bruce Sloane in planning the route, and divising questions. I truly appreciate all the effort that they put into this fundraiser. Additional credit should go to Tom Pendleton for taking charge of the FunFest food planning and preparation. A special thank you also goes to Lisa Pendleton, Teresa Hudson, Craig Altenburg, Joy Sloane, Cady Soukup, Mike McSweeney, Tammy and Jeff Ehrhart for jumping into the fray and helping out as needed. A most gracious thank you to Sheri Hamill-Huff for the pony and horse rides, and to PenDragon Dale for their valiant effort in trying to bring their draft horse. Special thanks goes to The Inn at Little Washington, The Foster Harris House, and Blueridge Technologies for the top prizes. Heartfelt thanks to Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Faith Mountain, The Berry ville Roller Rink, Pendleton Seafood, The Country Cafe, Videoland of Gainesville, The Farm Bureau of Prince William County, Talk of the Town, Baldwins, Settles, Flint Hill Store, Hackleys, Ben Venue, and Hillsdale for their more than generous contributions! Mqjor thanks to my husband, Mike and to all my friends who had to listen to me as I sped up and down the fundraiser rollercaoster! For many children, such as my own son, CCLC is an extension of their fmaily. The center offers invaluable services to Rappahannock county and the surrounding communities. Through the helping hand of the community, CCLC’s current level of excellence can only be enhanced. PATTY McSWEENEY Chairman, Rappahannock Rug-Rat Road Rally Committee i I Choices Valuable To the Editor: In his letter extolling the virtues of the single-payer plan for health care “reform,” Dr. Young (August ' 17) overlooks two virtues of the current arrangement and the two related drawbacks (to use the mildest work I can think of) of the alternative he offers. Each of us, he seems to feel, is forced to chose among “a great number of competing private bureaucracies,” about whom he has nothing good to say, although it is my experience that basically all that upsets patients these days is the high price of insurance and of prescriptions. Surely open competition would be a better way to correct this problem than to turn it over to the single benign bureaucracy he envisions, which will be operated, let me remind you, by the people responsible for the efficiency of the Postal Service, the budget of the Pentagon, and the compassion of the Internal Revenue Service. That’s just the one problem. The I second is more important. Dr; Young seems to feel that it is unfair that we, the people, have to choose among all of these various plans. I, however, feel that it is proper and necessary that we, the people, keep, the right to be able to choose, which,' once the government takes over, we will not. However unhappy I might be with my plan, and however I choose to tell them'so, they can nd£ force me to continue with them. They can not fine me. They can not put me into jail. The government can, and according to every plan that' has come down from the Democrats, so far, they will, if I put my freedom ahead of their pleasure. The truest Words every said about any government, and words tb keep in the forefront of your mind every day these days, are that a government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough tQ' take away everything you have. EDITH POND Sperryville i Let Down By The Law , i ■ * To the Editor: I have received many calls about why my name was in the Rappahannock News last week charged with assault. As a bom citizen of Rappahannock County I would like to explain | that I feel the Sheriffs Office let me down when no-one responded to a call from my daughter-in-law about a problem at my house. If the law had come when called, my name would not have been in the paper. I thank my friends for their concern. DOLLIE STRINGFELLOW i Washington (Editor’s Note: Sheriff John Henry Woodward said that a deputy was aispateched to Mrs. Strinafeilow’s house, but before he got mere he was informed that the situation was diffused and one of the subjects was at the Sheriffs Office. So he retured to the office instead of continuing to the house.) Godwin's Endorsement Is Important But Half-Hearted By JOHN GOOLRICK It’s headline news when Mills Godwin, The Lion King of Virginia Republican politics, endorses Oliver North, the nominee of his own party. That’s because the Godwin endorsement sends a signal to thousands of mainstream conservative Republican and independents that it’s all right to work for North’s election alongside the many thousands of Christian conservatives who support his candidacy. Godwin, who has no use for independent Republican Marshall Coleman who is running, brushed aside his candidacy by referring to him sneeringly as a “token candidate.” And that assessment may, indeed, be accurate, for if Coleman were to stand any chance, he would have to get the backing of many moderate to conservative Republicans and independents who consider themselves in the mainstream. So far there has been pratically no indication that Coleman is picking up such support and the formation by Godwin and other heavy hitters of a Virginians for North Committee practically guarantees it won’t happen. The ‘Virginians For’ label has been used over the years by the old Byrd element in state politics to indicate the support of the power structure that once ruled Virginia for a particular candidate. Virginia Through Both Barrels o Some doubted if North could attract the support of this group because of his close ties to the Pat Robertson Christian Coalition that was instrumental in getting him the party nomination. But Godwin came out for North even if in doing so he delivered less than a ringing endorsement. “We have started a movement,” Godwin said. “I won’t call it a crusade, I’ll call is a spirited endeavor. . .Three of the four people who are running for the United States Senate are people I cannot vote for...that doesn’t leave anybody but him.” The formation of the new group boosted the perception among political insiders that North has emerged as the frontrunner in the four way race and that the Coleman candidacy is fading fast. It also probably hurt the stock of Senator John Warner who is promoting Coleman’s candidacy. After Godwin’s announcement Warner remarked angrily. “If he, as a Republican, could support a Democratic in 1977, I can damn well support a Republican in 1994.” He was referring to Godwin’s endorsement in 1977 of Democratic attorney general nominee Edward Lane over Republican nominee Marshall Coleman. Meanwhile incumbent Democratic Senator Charles S. Robb, whose seat appears in jeopardy, continues his high risk strategy of linking his fate to that of President; Clinton whose popularity figures' continue to dip. In a four way race, the Robb goat seems to be to get the votes of mosS of the 35 percent or so of Virginian^ who approve of Clinton’s perfor* mance in office.

Carcass Contest Ends Farm Show , i The final event of the 1994 Farm Show for youth in Rappahannock’ Culpeper and Madison counties is the Carcass Contest. ' When livestock are sold at the sale at the Farm Show, the animals are sent to the slaughter house, and the carcassers are judged by the meat graders to determine if they wiull be prime, choice, select or standard cuts of meat. !The awards for the 1994 Carcass Contest were presented on Thursday, August 18 following a picnic supper for 4-H members, leaders, and their families at Graves Mountain Lodge near Syria. .“The 1994 awards program and picnic had the largest participation in recent years with approximately 125 people in attendance,” according to Randall Updike, chairman of the Wilderness Act Is 30 Years Old September 3 marks the 30th Anniversary of the passage of the Wilderness Act. Wilderness is defined in the Act as a place “...where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.” In 1976 Congress designated 79,579 acres of Shenandoah National Park as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System. “Wilderness is a vital part of Shenandoah National Park,” said Superintendent J.W. Wade. “On this anniversary, we’d like to say thank you to the many volunteers who have maintained the trail system in wilderness areas of the Park. We’ve been fortunate to have people who have contributed thousands of hours to protect the resources of this national treasure. The volunteers, along with other Park staff, have worked with care to ensure the Wilderness Act has meaning. ” Natural conditions prevail in wilderness areas. Since the Wilderness designation, no further construction or development can take place. Motorized equipment is prohibited. All trail maintenance is done with hand tools. “The Wilderness areas of Shenandoah National Park provide a counterbalance to the Skyline Drive,” continued Wade. “In a Park most famous for its scenic road, countless visitors appreciate the opportunity to experience places with the minimum of human intrusion.” Read ®fje Rappafyannocb iietos m INCORPORATED i I i I I Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat, 10 a.m., Every Month For further information calf 364-1566 1 mile east of Marshall on Rt 55 Beef Department, who along with David Jones in Madison, chairman of the Dairy Beef Department, served as co-chairman of the Carcass Contest this year. There were 27 carcasses entered in beef, 19 in dairy beef, 19 in swine, and 42 in sheep. “The carcass contest is very educational for the 4-H exhibitors,” said Helen W. Smith, Extension Agent. “The exhibitors get the data on their animals including live grade, average daily gain, fat thickness, ribeye thickness, yield grade, marbling and carcass grade. This is all computed into a carcass index which results in the carcass placings.” Placings from Rappahannock included for beef: fifth Scott Updike, 10th and 15th Mary Beth Williams, 11th Justin Updike, 13th and 19th Greg Williams, 17th Katie Updike, and 22nd Zack Corbin. , Zack Corbin placed sixth for swine.

High School Fall Sports Get Underway Boys'Cross Country Team Produces Large Turnout By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer In the second week of practice high school coaches are enthusiastic about the potential of their fall sports tedms. Last year there were seven students running cross country in the fall. This year coach David van de Graaff has twenty or so out running, and he said he expects more once school starts. He predicts that the boys’ team will qualify for regional competition this year and says the girls can too if more come out. There are six girls running, but three are eighth graders and ineligible to compete as varsity athletes. One reason there are so many students running cross country is that new boys’ basketball coach Eugene Baltimore has encouraged basketball players to use the fall cross country season to get in shape for basketball. Coach van de Graaff said he hopes to also approach girls’ volleyball players who are not also playing fall basketball to come out. Teacher Mike Tupper is assisting with the program. He said Coach van de Graaff inspired him to get himself in shape and help out. He remembers as a student at the high school when Rappahannock fielded state champion cross country teams. Besides the regular season the team will be in three invitational meets, Coach van de Graaff said. They will be at Woodberry Forest, Eastern Menonite and Great Meadow, which is also the site of the state championship. i There are only two home meets scheduled this fall. The season will open with a meet at Culpeper Wednesday September 14. On Saturday September 17 the team will be participating in the Eastern Menonite Invitational, and then on Wednesday September 21, Rappahannock will host Strasburg, Brentsville, and George Mason at the home field across from the high school on Bleu Rock Inn property.

The greenhouse issue had come up earlier when the Lysaght family in Flint Hill built one in their yard, and several neighbors objected. The Lysaghts currently have a building permit for two more greenhouses, each to cover an area of 28 feet by 48 feet, which they received on August 2. The one they already have is 28 feet by 72 feet. Several people spoke up in favor of the amendment. Jean Lillard said, “I urge you to vote in favor of the zoning to disallow greenhouses in RV districts.” Jerry Ellsworth of Flint Hill said, “You should start requiring business licenses from people so you can see what kind of business they are planning.” Phil Irwin said that he favored passing the amendment. Lindsey Eastham said that he considered Flint Hill his village too, and that the County must realize that greenhouses are an up and coming thing that he thinks will be seen more in the county. Mr. McCarthy passed around a schedule which he wishes to use for revising the first five chapters of the Comprehensive Plan. The Sept. 21 meeting will concentrate on Chapter 1, Oct. 19 for Chapter 2; Nov. 16 for Chapter 3; Dec. 21 for Chapter 4; and Jan. 18 for Chapter 5.

/ ;: • Community News • Obituaries ‘V* . ./ Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24,1994 CCLC's Rug Rat Road Rally Is a Hit By CINDY MAHAN . Rappahannock New* Staff Writer ~ If you weren’t in one of the 26 vehicles entered in CCLC’s Rappahannock Rug Rat Road Rally last Saturday, you missed out on a whole lot of fun. After arranging for a friend to do the driving for me (actually, my editor’s son, Douglas), we signed up at CCLC and received our list of instructions and questionnaire for the rally. Once watches were synchronized with the official timekeeper, we took off down U.S. 211 toward Washington. ‘ Set out in rhymes, the instructions led us into the town of Washington, picking up answers along the way. Before getting through the town itself, we had answered eight questions, beginning with “What’s raised at Ginger Hill?” (Angus cattle); and ending with “At the center of Washington, is the Inn. (You know the one, dinner...if you win.) No sign at the Inn, but there is a, fountain. There’s only one, if you’re countin’, At the base of this fountain, permanent fowl reside. In logo form, these birds preside.” Swans was the correct answer for this one, which stumped many rallygoers. We actually guessed at swans, only because I knew The Inn’s logo includes a swan. It was quite a sight to see people squeal into the parking lot by Trinity Church, rush over to the fountain, and get down on hands and knees to study the birds on the bottom of the fountain. Off we flew down the Fodderstack Road. I screamed out questions as fast as I could as we drove along. Sometimes I would have to tell Douglas to slow down, when it looked like there were going to be several questions within a short distance. We hit our first real snag. We needed to answer what the “fake fowl” were, on the right hand side of the road somewhere between Caledonia Farm and where Superman dons his country cape (at the telephone at Foster Brothers Packing House). We couldn’t find any “fake fowl” anywhere, but knowing the county, we guessed the answer was ducks, and that was right. We were also proud that we figured out the answer to the Superman question. Our next big problem was the answer to this: “The president we don’t remember, is taught in school starting each September, now this road is named for him, get his name and you might win!” We just weren’t observant enough, I guess, because we heard later that there was a highway sign for the Zachary Taylor Highway. We must have been too busy looking for the name of Hittles Mill stream, the rooves which “like a thumb they stick out bright, shining like a beacon in the night”, the hydrant, the chimney, and Sunny Slope Home (where the eagles lead). We next pulled into Settle’s Grocery to get prices of Ultra Xtra laundry detergent and Mueller’s lasagne, grabbed some cold drinks, and sped through Flint Hill, easily picking up a few more answers along the way. “At Hidden View, what do you get when you cross a dalmation with a fire engine?”, the answer was “mailbox,” but the organizers agreed this was an ambiguous question, and marked everybody’s answer correct for that one. (The mailbox is actually totally separate from the sign.) Onward to Ben Venue, picking up the answer to “What color is the frosting on the fence?” (white). We put white quartz, and assume that was marked correct. The fence was at Eddie Sutphin’s on Route 729. At Ben Venue, we headed east down U.S. 211, and missed a couple of answers right away. We never did see Duchesse Farm on the right, which was the answer to “A noble agricultural occupation?” We also flew by the abandoned farmstand, and missed the question “What is being sold at the abandoned farmstand?” I stupidly filled in “eggs”, having remembered seeing a sign for eggs at the site long ago. The answer, of course, was “nothing.” There may have been several answers for this question, but the Amissville VFD was the answer to “For a HOT time in Amissville, who would you call?” if Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan What do you get when you cross a dalmation with a fire truck? was one of the questions to answer along the rally route. Sign would have been a better answer than mailbox. wrnmmm REBEL Colin Treanor tried canoing at the Fun Fest following the road rally. 1 ■ . ■ r A challenge which created great confusion on my answer sheet was to count the churches between the Amissville post office and “from here until you go inside,” besides answering another 18 questions along the way. Kids, be sure to study your math; you’ll need it in a situation like this. Driving through the back roads of Amissville, edging on toward Castleton, I especially liked the questions “Where the sun might vacation” and “You ain’t just whistling here.” Those two were answered with Golden Retreat and Dixie Meadows. When we pulled up in front of the Forest Grove Baptist Church to count the panes of glass on the front of the church, Douglas counted nine and I counted 16. Hold everything! We made a quick U-tum, actually brought the car to a standstill for a minute, and recounted, agreeing on 16. \ On Route 729 heading back to Ben Venue, there were some really tricky ones. All sorts of answers came in for “How many dead trees on the hill?” Apparently, Frank Huff used his binoculars to peer at the trees, and said that one was split in half. So how do you count? The right answer was five. We answered six, and didn’t even have binoculars. Corn was “stalking out in the field,” and Rappahannock Tractors was where you could at one time purchase Ariens equipment (but I had Japanese Fighting Kites Will Grace Ben Venue Festival By HEIDI DEGROOT EASTHAM Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Just for one moment take yourself out of our county, and put yourself atop a windswept dune in the city of Hamamatsu, about 130 miles • southwest of Tokyo. ! You can not believe your eyes as they fix on a vividly colored kite straining against its tether. Battle cries of “Wasshoi! Wasshoi!-(Forward! Forward!)” erupt. The symbol of anew generation soars skyward. Today, Japan’s Rokkaku Challenge draws nearly two million peoiple.I This emotion-charged scene ; takes place hundreds of times in early May during the city’s annual three-day tribute to its first born sons. These huge kites are sponsored by different neighborhoods, ; some bearing the boys’ names. ’• The role of a first bom son re• mains the backbone of Japanese sorial structure. When a man dies, his eldest son usually inherits all his wealth and responsibility for keeping the fmaily unified. These strong ties help keep the community’s iden• tity. ; The people of Hammamatsu be• lieve the festival dates from the 11500s, when a kite was flown to honor the birth of a prince. Another legend suggests that the sport began when a ruler told his people to fight with kites instead of with one another. (Not such a bad thought.) Go back to the sky, the kite lines are like spider webs, several are en tangled; as teams keep their lines taut and haul violently on one another. With knives and razor blades on the kites and glass coated lines, pandemonium reigns as the lines saw on another, as a hundred men try to cut down each other’s entries. There are no winners or losers in this monumental contest. After a kite has taken to its dive, a special rescue squad rushes to recover every shredded scrap. Although many badly damaged kites are simply burned, those that represent first bom sons are presented to their families to be kept as mementos. Others, more successful in battle, are carefully stored to fight again the following year. The son’s family must pay for the kite and refreshments, many saving money for years after their son is bom. Rules had to be made to impose restrictions on the festival because the kites became so large and lavish that it began to threaten the economy. Even today some make great sacrifices for this event, even if they can’t really afford to. I am sure you have seen our posters just about everywhere for The Ben Venue kite festival. We are going to have some of the most beautiful Rokkaku kites on exhibit, as well as a Rokkaku Challenge, along with so much more.

Wet Queen Rappahannock News Staff Photo/C'indy Mahan Miss Rappahannock, Angel Foster, takes shelter under an umbrella during the rain at the Flint Hill Firemens Parade. to get out of the car and push back weeds to see the sign), i When I screamed out “Sad tree,” Douglas immediately answered weeping willow, not even knowing there was a weeping willow further up the road. Some of the questions were like that, but most were ones you had to wait to answer until you got to the right spot. One which stumped the winners of the rally, Peter and Lara Kreyling and his seven-year-old daughter, was “If you visit this place, you might feel under the weather.” Luray Caverns! (Sign is on U.S. 211 near Massie’s Corner.) i We pulled up to the finishing line near CCLC and were told our time was one hour and 15 minutes, about six and a half minutes faster than the optimum time. The grading system was complex, but it seems that correct answers were more important than timing. The winner’s time was one hour and 45 minutes, and the only question that Mr. Kreyling knows he missed was the Luray Caverns one. The second place winners were i the Vagt family from Fairfax, and third place went to the Cady family from Maryland. The Kreylings won a dinner for two at The Inn at Little Washington and a night at the Foster-Harris House B&B in Washington. Lara is quite excited about her big dinner date coming up with her dad. A lot of credit goes to Patty McSweeney, Bruce Sloane, Christine Keller and Tom Pendleton, the four volunteers who put most of this rally together. Over $700 was raised for CCLC from the rally and the fun fest which followed afterward at Mountain Green Farm. The last bonus question was “What does CCLC stand for?” Child \ Care and Learning Center. Be sure to sign up for this fun event next year; you’ll be glad you did! i 'Lion King' Leaves Viewer Baffled By NAOMI J. SMOOT Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer By now all of us have either seen about or heard about Disney’s hot new movie The Lion King. This movie is about a young lion and his interesting yet pointless life. It’s filled with struggle, sorrow, and enough violence to be a western, a Most people seem to love the movie. However, pediatricians, child psychologists and some critics have all managed to agree that this movie is too mature for the rating it has been given and the audience it tries to appeal to. Why? Simply the fact that most three and four year old’s don’t cope to well with the sights and sounds of murder. Maybe I’m just not intelligent enough for G rated movies, but no matter what the reason was I still left the theater totally and completely confused about the cartoon I had just sat through. To start off all the names just sort of came together and got all mixed up in my head. The only names I really remember are Symba and Scar however I have no earthly idea who or even what Symba was. Review On top of that it made no sense to me why the absolutely adorable little cub actually believed it was his fault his father had died. He may have been young in that scene, but is wasn’t like he had been bom yesterday! After all, the little thing had stood there and watched his uncle push the guy off the cliff and then he believed it was his fault. I don’t quite think so! Then to make it even more confusing they have him go back at the end of the movie! Why would he do that when he had become perfectly happy living where he was? Personally I would have stayed where I was if someone popped up out of the blue, tried to eat my friends, and then told me I had to go home! My suggestion? Skip the movie and buy the sound track instead. At least that way you won’t have to sit through the corny jokes and fake popcorn. Moveable Feast Scheduled The Bed and Breakfast Guild of Rappahannock County will’again be presenting moveable feasts. Two tours are offered, each costing $60. The first tour begins with appetizers at The Conyers House and moves on to Soup and Salad at the Gay Street Inn.

Making Flavored Vinegars ' By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economic* I .Want to know a gourmet secret? ; One that’s so easy and inexpensive • you’ll wonder why you haven’t thought of it before? It’s called homemade flavored vinegar, and it may just change the way you use this time-honored kitchen staple. The tools, process, and ingre■ dients in flavoring vinegars yourself i are simple. And they yield impres: sive results when added to vinaigrettes, salad dressings, seasoned mayonnaise, or marinades for vegetables, meat, poultry, or fish. Guidelines To Follow •Use containers made of glass or crockery. Be sure the containers are sterilized to prevent vinegar from clouding. •Apple Cider, Distilled White, Wine Vinegar, or a combination of these vinegars, may be used as the “base” vinegars. Apple Cider Vinegar blends well with fruits, while Distilled White may be preferred for ' the more delicate herb flavors. Wine Vinegar has a robust flavor that can support the stronger flavors of garlic, tarragon, and the like. •A great variety of herbs, singly or in combination, may be used. Try mint, basil, tarragon, dill, rosemary, oregano, or chives. Use about 3 to 4 springs of fresh herbs to each pint of vinegar. Herbs shoud be completely immersed. •If fresh herbs are not available, dried herbs may be substituted. Use ! about 3 tablespoons dried herbs to each pint of vinegar. Let the vinegar stand 3 to 4 weeks, then strain through damp cheesecloth and discard herbs. Store vinegar in a clean bottle or jar, tightly capped. •Fruits that, are especially flavor-^ fill include lemon or orange peel, strawberries, raspberries, and pears. Try fruits in combination with other flavors such as orange or lemon with mint or spices such as cinnamon and cloves. Use the peel from 1 lemon or orange for each pint of vinegar. •Garlic colves, jalapeno peppers, and citrus peels can be threaded onto thin bamboo skewers for easier insertion and removal., •Experiment with your own combination of seasonings. The flavors will mellow and blend in the bottle and the possible combinations are needless. •It takes about 3 to 4 weeks for flavors to develop. Let the container stand, tightly capped, in a cool dark place. Use within 3 to 4 months. •To speed the process by a week or so, bruise or coarsely chop the herbs and fruits. When the flavor has reached the level you prefer, strain the seasonings out and return vinegar to a clean container. Add a sprig of fresh herbs for decoration and identification. •If the flavors become too strong, flavored vinegar may be diluted with more of the same “base” vinegar.

Trade and brand names are used only for the purpose of information and Virginia Cooperative Extension does not guarantee nor warrant the standard of the product, nor does it imply approval of the product to the exclusion of others which may also be suitable. Basil Garlic Vinegar Place 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves and 2 cloves split peeled garlic in sterilized pint jar. Heat Heinz Wine of Distilled White v Orchid Presentation Enjoyed By Members By HELEN PLATT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer • Members of the Rappahannock . County Garden Club held their August meeting amid a veritable fairyland of blossoms. The program for the meeting was presented by Stef phen Shifflett from Floradise Orchids in Gordonsville who brought along dozens of Orchid plants for his lecture. He discussed the many types of Orchids he grows and breeds, the general culture requirements including humidity and temperature of different types, and the level of care and attention they need. He made Orchid growing sound so simple that several Club members decided to give it a try and purchased plants on the spot. ( Adding to the display of blooms were arrangements by Club members to illustrate this month’s theme of “Summer Elegance.” The blue ribbon in this category was won by Helen Holschuh. Horticulture exhibits included vegetables and flowers, and blue ribbons were awarded to Mary Revercomb, Frances Russell, Maggie Bracewell, Virginia Scott, Barbara Colvin, Breezy Gannon, Helen Platt, and Helen (Mrs. David) Smith. i During the business meeting, which was conducted by President Helen Brown, the Horticulture Committee Chairman Celine Siira presented a proposal to Club members for landscaping the grounds around the Washington Fire Hall. Her Committee has been working with Mark Ramey’s landscaping company, Greensmythe Landscape Hardscape, and the landscape plan she presented was unanimously approved by the Club. The next step is consultation with members of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department to determine whether they would like to have this done and to incorporate their ideas into the plan. This project is another endeavor of the Garden Club to make the community a more pleasing place to live. Hostesses for the meeting were Phyllis Keim, Margaret Tucker and Judy Halle.
