Going to the Dogs I ' . u By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newi SUIT Writ*r | i Joy Sloane asked the Board of Supervisors to protect people walking . on the county’s roads from dogs at last Wednesday’s meeting. Mrs. Sloane was attacked by two dogs Thursday September 1 when she yas walking on( Route 612 in Old Hollow. She said she had decided to start a walking program and she took a walking stick her daughter had given her for a Christmas present. She said that the dogs “came shooting from the house and hillside and attacked me. One went for my face, and I used the stick to keep it away. The other bit me above the knee, and the dog that had gone for my face bit me on the leg from the back.” An elderly neighbor heard her screaming and came out and yelled at the dogs and they ran back into a field, she said. She walked to that neighbor’s house and called her husband and dog warden Johnny Ray Pullen. She said when Mr. Pullen came the dogs acted aggressive towards him also. Mrs. Sloane said Mr. Pullen and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke were very nice, but “They can only use the ordinances you give them.” The vicious dog ordinance can only be used after someone is attacked, she said. She said if she had been a child, she would have been bitten on the face. 11 Noting that the county relies on tourism, she said, “Nobody’s going to visit the dog bite capital of the world.” She suggested the county needs a leash law or at least an ordinance that would prohibit unleashed dogs on the county’s roads. She said there had been several incidents in Old Hollow of dogs harassing and attacking people. “I’m asking for a safe passage ordinance,” she said. The current vicious dog ordinance does nothing until a dog bites someone or harms them, she said. Mr. Luke agreed that under the current county ordinance the dog “gets the first bite.” He said that once there is an incident like happened to Mrs. Sloane, the owners are notified and must keep the dogs enclosed or chaujed. He said that Mr. Pullen has checked on the two dogs involved in the attack on Mrs. Sloane and the dogs are being kept in the house or on chains. Mrs. Sloane said her neighbor has seen them back on the road. Under the county’s vicious and destructive dog ordinance, it is a class 1 misdemeanor for the owner of a vicious dog to allow it to run at large once he has been notified “in writing, of a dog’s vicious or destructive tendencies.” The supervisors took no action on Mrs. Sloane’s request. Supervisors Approve $1.65 Million Bonds / By SHARON’KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Following a, public hearing Wednesday night, the members of the Board of Supervisors voted to borrow up to $1.66 million in ' bonds sold by the Virginia Resources Authority (VRA) to fund a new cell at the landfill. No one spoke for or against the borrowing at the meeting. “This is a no choice situation,” member Charles K. “Pete” Estes said. The bonds will be sold the first week in October. The complete cost to the county will depend on the rate the bonds sell for. County Administrator John McCarthy said he hopes the county can borrow only $1,625 million. That number is based on a rate of 5.25 percent. The bonds will be paid back over an eightyear period, but the county has to put up some money for the final payment and part of the bonds have to be held in reserve for that payment. The county has a contract with Rappawan of Front Royal for $1.3 million to do the actual construction work on the new cell. The bonds will also be used to purchase scales for the landfill which will cost $100,000, Mr. McCarthy said. In the evening session the supervisors also approved amendments to the county Zoning Ordinance that will restrict wholesale greenhouses in residential zones. Such operations will not be allowed in village residential and R2 zones, and will be allowed in rural residential zones, with a density of one residence of five acres, with a special use permit. Wholesale greenhouses will be allowed by right in agricultural and conservation zones. Before the r amendments passed they were allowed by right in all zones. In the afternoon session Betty Roberts of the Piedmont United Way addressed the board. She said Rappahannock is included in the five-county organization and several of the agencies that receive funds from the Piedmont United Way serve clients in Rappahannock County. The Child Care and Learning Center was added to the list of agencies receiving funds this year, she noted. She said she hopes to raise more funds in Rappahannock County this year. The campaign will officially start Sept. 15. The goal this year is $230,000, she said. The supervisors agreed that at next month’s public hearing on changing road names they will consider only roads where 75 percent of the residents have signed a petition to change the name. Mr. McCarthy reported on meetings he has had with the sheriff and Richard L. Biby "who offered to help the county find a site for a new communications tower to serve Cellular One and the county dispatch system., Mr. McCarthy said Mr. Biby hatLprepared a series of maps showing how much of the county could theoretically be covered with a 100-foot tower in Washington, at Scrabble and at Huntly. Washington, being more central, provided the best coverage, he said. The 100foot height would be the minimum, he said, not necessarily the height that11 is eventually selected. He said Mr. Biby said Cellular One has unSee Bonds, Page A-2 [ Grandparents Day i m Photo courtesy of Manon Sharp Will Sharp ndes his grandfather’s “first horse” while his grandfather “Dunny” Eastham cheers and Ringo admires his form. Repeat Hearing Brings More Sludge Slinging By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission did not vote on readopting ordinances banning sludge following a two-and-a-half-hour public hearing Monday night at the high school. The Planning Commission will vote next Wednesday at their regular meeting at 7:30 in the Courthouse on their recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to ban the land application of sludge. Then the supervisors will vote October 3 at 7 p.m. on this amendment as well as one with nearly identical wording to ban sludge as an amendment to the County Code under health. Experts, C. M. Sawyer, division director of the Virginia Department of Health, Thomas Faha, regulatory services supervisor for the regional water board of the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Gregory K. Evanylo, associate professor and extension soil scientist from Virginia Tech and Stanford C. Tackett, analytical chemist and professor emeritus from Pennsylvania testified first. Dr. Sawyer and Mr. Faha described the process of getting a permit through the state. They said the company that spreads the sludge actually has the permit. In general they supported the position that state requirements are rigorous and all that is necessary to protect the environment. They said there are new regulations that took effect in May 1993. Prof. Evanylo also said that there have been no known examples of harm from spreading sludge properly. Mr. Faha said the state regulations are designed to insure that there are “no effects on state waters from this activity.” He said when they receive an application to land apply sludge, the Health Department makes a site visit and sets restrictions on how sludge may be applied at that farm. Dr. Sawyer said the permit will specify where it can and can’t go. The applicator submits monthly reports, he said. He said the permit is “self-policing. It does the company no good to be in noncompliance. It’s clear on inspection if the buffer zones have been violated.” He said the state developed its permitting process at the request of counties that had farms in which sludge had been piled up. Even on those farms, he said, there were no problems from runoff of from heavy metals. Prof. Evnylo said, “In my opinion there are great agricultural benefits... The slow release of nitrogen is less of a hazard than chemical fertilizers...Research (shows) the benefits outweighs the risks posed to the environment and public health.” On the other hand Prof. Tackett said because of potential hazards, particularly from lead, the county should ban sludge. He noted that the EPA sets standards for levels of lead in sludge, but there is no known level of lead that is safe for children. He noted that the EPA has banned lead in gasoline, paint and other products but new regulations allow more in sludge that previous ones. “The EPA regulations are designed to encourage the maximum use per acre based on unverified asumptions,” he said. He said eight miniature horses in Oklahoma died after eating sludge contaminated hay and a study of reproduction in purebred angus cattle had to be stopped because so many fetifses were abroted or deformed after the cattle ate grass from fields that had been sludged. Prof. Tackett said he felt incineration was the safest way to handle sludge, but it has not been studied much because the cost is higher than land application. Members of both boards questioned the experts extensively, asking about testing procudures, the reason processed food manufacturers won’t accept foods grown on sludged soils, questions of liability, and the relatively high levels of metals allowed by the EPA compared to those allowed in other countries. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson asked about high levels of iron in hay grown on sludged land. Prof. Evanylo said these questions were “assinine” prompting testy reactions from Mr. Anderson, County Administrator John McCarthy and Chairman Hubert Gilkey. He said iron in soil is “innocuous” and that veterinarians concerned about it “are not soil scientists.” Following a brief break the boards convened to hear from the public. Hunt Harris said dealing with waste presented a “dilemma.” He said there are other places to do tests on the safety of sludge and suggested the supervisors “keep Rappahannock pure.” He said if sludge is allowed, the county should do extensive testing on water supplies. B. J. Welch said he opposed the use of sludge but suggested the supervisors put the issue on the ballot in November so the people could vote. John Alexander said, “Nothing I have heard tonight or read or heard makes me think sludge is detrimental.” Jennifer Alexander said the risks are no greater than with chemical fertilizers. Nelson Atkins said he objects to the odor of sludge. Bill Fletcher said he knew of an instance with a farmer in northern Fauquier County who had a problem with calves dying from too much iron. He noted that only 1 to 2 percent of the land in Rappahannock is suitable for sludge and said the risk is too great for such a small advantage. John Foote, the attorney representing farmers who have sued the county over the sludge ban, said he does not believe the county has the power to ban sludge outright. He suggested the supervisors could adopt regulations on top of state regulations to control its use. Bob Peers and Steve McMahan from Bio-Gro a firm that spreads sludge said they have the sludge they spread tested monthly. They said they have worked out an agreement to idemnify farmers if See Sludge, Page A-2

Tommy Williams said sludge is less likely than chemical fertilizers to result in nutrients washing out into streams. Newbill Miller said he had listened to experts from both sides but remembered that experts had once advised that lead, DDT, and Agent Orange was safe. “It’s too much to risk for so little benefit,” he said. James B. Carter wondered who would pay the farmer if sludge was found to be harmful and the hauler went bankrupt. > 1 Hodge Miller said, “(Washington) D.C. is one of the most mismanaged places in the country...There is too great a potential for disaster. ” A1 Henry said sludge would not “promote the quality of 'life in Rappahannock.” Donnie Welch also opposed spreading sludge. Lindsey Eastham was the last to speak. He said there are problems with all fertilizers and he did not agree with the county saying farmers cannot use one particular type of ' fertilizer. “I don’t think you’re qualified to make the decision to ban sludge,” he said. ►Bonds i. From Page A-l til July, 1995, to provide service to customers in Rappahannock County or other cellular companies can come in.

Hampton District representative Mike Massie asked if satellite systems might make the new tower obsolete in five years. Mr. McCarthy and the sheriff agreed that they have no indication a satelite system will be available for Rappahannock County. Chairman Hubert Gilkey said a satelite system would also require a large dish probably mounted on a tower. Mr. McCarthy said Virginia Tech is currently reviewing applications for the position of agricultural extension agent for Rappahannock County. He said there will be a chance to interview candidates later in the month. They voted to award the recycling contract to Efficient Roll-Off Assemblage (ERA) for $6,720. The county received three bids for handling the recycling at the landfill and behind the Washington Fire Hall. Coiners’, the county’s current contractor, submitted the lowest bid at $5,340, but ERA said the county would receive funds for recycled aluminum that would probably bring their bid under the Coiner’ bid.

Bio Farmers To Update Directory The Virginia Association of Biological Fanners, in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumers Services, is currently updating listings for the 1995-96 edition of Smart Foods for a Sound Planet, A Virginia Compendium of Earth Friendly Food Resources. The purpose ^of the guide is to promote sustainable agriculture by connecting farmers and producers who use organic and certain other environmentally-friendly growing practices with distributors, businesses, and consumers. It will list farms by county and locate then by regions of the state with a cross reference by crops. The guide also will list grocers and markets that sell environmentally-friendly products, restaurants that use them, and businesses and organizations that support the concepts of sustainable agriculture. , Farmers and others who produce fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, herbs, flowers, plants or condiments using sustainable methods may list their products in the guide. For information on listings and advertising, contact the Virginia Association of Biological Farmers, Marketing Committee, HCR 3 Box 137, Burnsville, Va. 24487, or call Donna Marquisee at 925-2237. Reward Offered In Mailbox Arson Patrick Allen is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and successful conviction of whoever is responsible for burning the mailbox at his Canterbury Cottage on Route 647 in Fauquier County. Mr. Allen said the mailbox, a three-foot by three-foot by threefoot reproduction of the main house on his property, had a thatched roof. It was supported by four two-bythree posts and cost over $1,000. “It looks like someone poured gasoline on it and set it afire,” he said. Mr. Allen said his farm is frequently used by both Rappahannock and Fauquier school groups, and the mailbox was a landmark they used to find the place. He said children from the Child Care and Learning Center and groups from Spring Mountain School had visited the farm.

/. / Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Steve Rittenour from LFCC teaches a class in Lotus 12 3. LFCC Brings Classes to , Faith Mountain Workers By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Lord Fairfax Community College mobile classroom was on site at the Faith Mountain Company last Thursday and Friday. The fully self-sufficient classroom, also billed as “Lord Fairfax Delivers,” was brought to Faith Mountain so that employees could learn the Lotus software system. Training supervisor Judy Cornwell said, “A lot of our vendors now ask for reports done on Lotus. Now we -are educating more employees tp be proficient at it.” ( The beginning class took place from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, and the intermediate class was held during the same hours on Friday. Ms. Cornwell said that having the mobile classroom visit their site is more cost effective and time efficient than sending employees to Lord Fairfax. She said that Faith Mountain has an ongoing education program for the employees. The classroom is able to fit 12 students and the computer professor, Steve Rittenour. The huge van has its own driver and is outfitted with a computer for each student. New Green Card Required 1. The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service announced today that it is extending until March of next year the period for replacement of green cards issued to permanent resident aliens before 1979. INS will publish a regulations in the Federal Register extending the validity of those green cards issued before 1979 until March 20, 1995. According to INS, the six-month extension is necessary because of a surge of applicants over the past two months to meet the fast-approaching original and now discarded deadline of Sept. 20. 1 INS Commissioner Doris Meissner said the six-month extension to March 20 of next year is designed to give some additional time to the thousands of lawful permanent resident aliens who have not yet applied for their new cards. Commissioner Meissner cautioned, “Those still in need of replacing their green cards should take advantage of the additional six-month grace period as soon as possible in order to avoid any future possible confusion Rambo, Grimes, Laurry, Red & Golden Delicious, and Staymans Also: Pears, Quinces & Honey SELLING 7 DAYS A WEEK Directions: 22 miles west of Warrenton, to rt. 522, North at Massies Corner, 1/4 mile on left.

IRS statistics show that more than 15 million wage earners claim a Moving Expense Deduction each year as a result of job-related moves. A great number of these are supported by corporate relocation benefits programs. Some provide for a direct reimbursement of expenses incurred. These can include cost of transporting household goods; travel expenses for the family's move; ■ temporary living expenses if the transferee must be at the new location before the actual move takes place or while awaiting the arrival of • household goods. Some corporations offer a house buying program as a "safety net" in case employees are unable to sell their home.

Become a citizen,” she said, “and never have to worry about renewing your green card again.” INS advises that those permanent resident aliens who are holding an 1-151 green card issued prior to 1979 and who wish to continue inaintaining a valid green card should apiply for a new card by filling a complete INS Form 1-90, along with proper documentation, and a $75 fee at the local INS office.

She will remain on the job in Rappahannock County through November if necessary. At a meeting Tuesday Roberta Anderson, chairman of the Library Board’s personnel committee, said, “We regret losing her but we’re thrilled with the substantial promotion this job represents. We were fortunate to have Mrs. Lynch for the past almost three and a half years during a crucial time for the Rappahannock County Library. “Her accomplishments have been substantial,” Mrs. Anderson continued. “We have a fully operational computerized system including an on-line catalog and computerized circulation. We have received several worthwhile grants due to Mrs. Lynch’s efforts. We’ve come a long way.” Mrs. Lynch got a grant from the state library to develop the on-line catalog, and the Friends of the Rappahannock Library contributed the computerized circulation system. Committee member Grace Sims noted especially that Mrs. Lynch started her position two weeks before the library moved from the intown location that is now the Town Hall to the current location on the edge of Washington. She was involved in the move in every way from planning what books would go where to actually moving them there, Mrs. Sims said. Committee member John Hartline said Mrs. Lynch should also be credited with a training program for library volunteers that included training them on the computerized circulation system. The asssistant librarian Elizabeth Jones, who also served as the children’s librarian, resigned last month, and Mrs. Lynch had been receiving applications for that parttime job. Mrs. Anderson said the committee would put the job of filling that position “on hold until a library director is hired so the new library director can have a hand in selecting the new children’s librarian.” Some of those applicants have masters degrees in library science and will be encouraged to apply for the full-time librarian’s position. Mrs. Lynch said, “I’m excited about the new position. It seems tailor made.” It will involve public relations, fundraising, developing a “Friends” group, computerizing and developing a core of volunteers. “I really have enjoyed working in Rappahannock County,” Mrs. Lynch continued. “I have met a lot of nice people and have made a lot of friends, and I certainly will miss them.” i i Former Ambassadors Discuss Asia in Next Library Program On Friday, Oct. 7, at 8 p.m. at i the Rappahannock County Library, Jane and Carlton Coon will discuss their adventures and explorations of the Central Islamic State of Kyrgystan and the Western Chinese provence of Xinjiang. These are two of several of the Central Asian Countries they visited on a privately organized tour with two friends in 1993. | Jane Abell Coon is a former Foreign Service Officer and American Ambassador to Bangladash. Her background for observation is informed by more than 20 years of official responsibilities in foreign countries. Likewise, Carl Coon was a career Foreign Service Officer, working in several Asian states i since 1949, retiring in 1985 after serving between 1981-84 as U.S. Ambassador to Nepal. Kyrgystan, adjacent to China and three former Islamic states of the USSR is in the process of recreating itself after prestroika. What happens when the organizing authority, even an alien one, dies? In Xinjiang, where Muslim Turkic-speaking Uighars constitute a majority of the population, the Han Chinese have been determined to integrate them into the People’s Republic of China. These Asian highlands and deserts have historically been hinges, separating and uniting cultures and empires since the beginning of historic times, yet they are unknown both geographically and culturally to most of us. The Ambassadors Coon will help us to see them as isolated and strange no longer. A registrar of voters will be available on the following days, for the purpose of visiting, to take the applications to register to vote of qualified persons who are unable to apply for voter registration in person at the office of the general registrar, due to a continuing illness or physical disability that has existed for at least thirty days: WEDNESDAY.

Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. . 2) Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated because education is the key to unleashing a the potential of our youth. » 3) New business ahd clean industry should be sought to provide new employment opportunities for o\ir residents and their children. But economic expansion should not come at the expense of our clean air and water. These are far more important than a larger tax base. Tourism and the business ' that supports it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. 4) Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent county, should be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strength and spirit of the county’s heritage. 5) Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and actively investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials. « The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 30 YEARS AGO Sept. 17,1964 Federal, state and local authorities working together seized a still near Viewtown and apprehended the operator Monday morning. O.A. Norton, Superintendent of the Schools of Rappahannock County, reported to the Supervisors at the September Board meeting that the sewage disposal facilities at Washington Elementary School were in bad condition and needed attention. 20 YEARS AGO Sept. 19,1974 The first polo Bill Fannon ever watched was also the first polo game he ever played in. That was in Farmington on July 3, 1971. The following spring he started building a polo field on his own farm in Rappahannock. Progress is being made on the construction of the medical center located in Washington. Grading, ditching, footings are completed, and an outline of the building begins to form. This project is being undertaken by Doctors Werner Krebser and Jerry Martin. 10 YEARS AGO Sept. 20,1984 In the 1950’s, Washington became a part of the national news with the first “all women” town council. On Thursday, Sept. 13, there was another first for women as the Rappahannock County Jaycees elected the first woman president of a Jaycee chapter in Virginia. Letters Service Questioned To the Editor: Service and courtesy! Two items which seem to be missing from the menu at the Appetite Repair Shop in SperryviUe. Why? Is this not the only thing a restaurant has to offer? We certainly have the ability to feed ourselves at home, we do buy groceries and have appliances with which to prepare the food of our taste. Then for what reason do we get dressed, climb into our vehicles and drive several miles to town where we patronize a restaurant? Service! Surely, not for the thrill of spending money. For this reason, is it too much to ask for breakfast at 10:50 a. m., when the sign reads “served till 11 a.m.,” or when ordering a sandwich and you ask for it to be served “open faced," should you be subjected to ridicule, threatened, embarrassed arid nearly physically ejected from this restaurant by the proprietor, while his young, female staff watch with gapping mouths and shocked expressions. The fact that this happened on Aug. 31, which happens to be my birthday and the day my loving wife was planning to treat me to breakfast, does not reduce the hurt and displeasure, experienced at the hands of restaurant owner who evidently does not understand the word, “service.” Is breakfast such a difficult meal that it can only be served between 8 a.m and 11 a.m.? Is it really that hard to shift gears back for forth betweert lunch and breakfast: eggs or burgers? toast or buns? coffee or tea? I mean, let’s worry about something really important like death, taxes or the price of ihay this year, but eggs? We are paying for the 11 service so why can’t we get any? H.W. THROWER Washington Tutors Thanked To the Editor I would like to personally thank Lee Bird, Susan Fox, Libby Whetzel and Ted Chapman from the Literacy Volunteers for their great help in preparing me for the GED exam. If not for those dedicated people I would not have received my GED diploma. ' JOHN R. JENKINS SperryviUe Owners Respond To the Editor: Thank goodness, a little press never hurt anybody. It is a testament to our business that a customer felt compelled to make known his criticisms of the Appetite Repair Shop in the Rappahannock News. Without getting personal, we must confess that the switch-over time between breakfast and lunch is, in fact, a tricky time. We are not McDonalds. The McDonalds franchise has a nationwide standard of cutting off breakfast at 10:30 a.m. to give its staff time to prep for lunch. They get a half hour. We don’t. Nor do we have a tripletiered prep station or a 20 x 4-foot grill to cook on! We have to do a lot with a small number of people and a small amount of space. r Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan A milkweed pod found near Boston opens gracefully heralding the coming of fall. •i Yes, sometimes there may be disappointment awaiting the “five minutes to lunch” breakfast crowd. The same goes for the “five minutes to closing” dinner crowd. We just can’t guarantee breakfast or dinner at these times, as much as we’d like to. We must also mention that we don’t serve items that aren’t listed on our menu. If it’s not our menu, we don’t serve it. It’s that simple. (If someone has an idea for a party at A.R.S. with special foods, we are not adverse to planning in advance with our customers and working our prices and so forth. But we like to know beforehand.) We can’t close this letter properly without adding this: Courtesy is a two-way street. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time for any reason. We at A.R.S. feel that it’s this rule that is being criticized, and not our service. We hope our regular customers aren’t turned off by all this muckrak Well# son/ , { you hove to deal y ivith a lot of ^ asinine questions from farmers-.

GREG and CINDY GILLIES, Owners The Appetite Repair Shop Celebrate Our Constitution To the Editor: Anniversaries are times of fulfillment and celebration. Out come the cakes and balloons that remind us another milestone has been reached. September 17 marks an anniversary of which few Americans know the significance. On this day in 1787 one of the greatest documents in the world was given life. This world renowned ^document is our Constitution, and next week it celebrates 207 years of being the law of the land. It took seventeen weeks in the summer of 1787 to devise the instrument that is the guardian of our liberties. Fifty-five delegates met in Philadelphia’s State House to frame a replacement for the Articles of Confederation which had joined a new nation in a loose “league of friendship.” Our founding fathers realized their young nation was doomed unless serious revisions were made to the Articles. Their solution was drafting a Constitution with a strong central government. The framers of the constitution knew that any government could be tempted to seize more power than assigned or misuse the power it had. They designed the first republic of its kind with separate, co-equal branches allowing checks and balances on the exercise of government power. Their efforts resulted in a document that has worked for over two centuries and stands as a model for millions who treasure freedom. So next week we celebrate the preservation and perseverance of our United States Constitution. Its very words have kept it alive and have allowed our nation to grow and develop into a world power. On this anniversary let us celebrate and be grateful for the words that guarantee and protect our freedom.

Girls Get First Wins By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer The junior varsity girls’ basketball team at RCHS has started off the new season with two out of three wins during the first week of school. Their first game, against Central the first day of school, was a disaster. They were defeated 50-11. However, they came back to win over Manassas Park last Thursday, 19-10. The leading scorer was Holly Gangel with 10 points. Coach Emily Wingate said, “It was a good team effort and everyone did well.” The girls also won their game against Luray on Monday night, defeating them 29-21. Dawn Havstad was the leading scorer with eight points and eight rebounds. Sara Gentry had six points and Nerissa Roberts had three. Coach Wingate said that Nerissa also made some crucial steals during the game. The varsity team has won one game so far. They defeated Manassas Park 42 to 39 last Thursday. Coach Laura Conklin called the Rappahannock News with the good news first thing Friday morning. It was a badly needed win since the \ Lady Panthers had lost to Central 21-67 in their first game. “We kind of got stomped on,” said Coach Conklin. j In the Manassas Park game, the girls were down 3-10 after the first quarter, and led by one point at the half. “They were playing tough defense. It took every one wanting it more than the other team to win,” said Coach Conklin. Top scorers were Janet Hitt with 18 points, Jessica Arnold with 14 and Susan Jewell with five. The team put up a good fight against Luray, coming back from being down 26-18 at the half, and tying the score in the third quarter, but ended up losing 43-55. Jessica Arnold led the scoring with 24 points, 11 rebounds and two steals. Janet Hitt scored 13 points and had four steals. “I was really proud they caught up. They really went after it. The clock ran out on us, though,” said Coach Conklin. The next home game will be against Strasburg on next Friday, ij The junior varsity game begins at 6 p.m., followed by the varsity game. t__... . Youth Football Season Opens at High School The Rappahannock Panthers in the Skyline Travel Football League lost to the Warrenton Rebels Saturday in the opening game of the season 18 to 6, but the team appeared greatly improved from last year. t Bartlett Completes Basic Training Air Force Airman Neeley A.

• Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News Amissville Taxidermist Taught Himself Trade By CINDY MAHArf Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer ;! As a taxidermist, Mike Smoot of Amissville preserves the beauty of wild animals forever. i > He taught himself the art of taxidermy eight years ago using books from the library. Other than some help from the Lee family of Fauquier County, Mr. Smoot is entirely self; taught. ' After practicing for two years, he obtained his taxidermist license from the Virginia Game Commisi sion. Since then, his business has been by word of mouth, which has kept him very busy during hunting season. During the season, he works on his taxidermy two nights a week and half a day on Saturdays. He is careful, though, to allow himself time for hunting too. His full-time job is at Vint Hill as a deputy project manager and director of operations. Most of Mr. Smoot’s customers are residents of the county, and he has been doing 40 to 50 deer heads a year, besides various other animals. In his studio are many finished animals waiting to be picked up by their owners. There are bear, foxes, squirrels, bobcats, deer, ducks, wild turkey, and even minks. He said that one of the two minks he has came from Chester/Gap. Mr. Smoot no longer does birds or fish, as they are too time-con •i—■ Mounts of a bear, wild turkey and fox are completed. Burning. One unusual item he offers is a bear rug. Once the bearskin is provided by a customer, Mr. Smoot readies it for being made into a rug. Felt is added to the bottom of the hide, and many types are available. He said that that biggest problem in working with a bear hide is to get s the odor put of the hide. It takes several applications of salt to get the grease out of it, and can take a year to dry completely. When a customer brings an animal to Mr. Smoot, such as a bear or fox, he will send it to a tannery in North Carolina. The tanning cures the hide and sets the hair. When the hide is returned to Mr. Smoot, he soaks it in water to get it back to the original shape. He then takes specific measurements, such as the total length, nose to eye measurement, “Taxidermy is hard work and it requires a lot of patience.” —Mike Smoot —--*etc., so that he pan order the form which goes inside the body. !’ The skin is then mounted on the form, after any tears or holes are repaired. “There is a lot of sewing involved,” said Mr. Smoot. Tiny pins are inserted around the mouth and eyes to hold the skin in place until it is dry. It then takes from three to five weeks to dry, depending on the animal and on the weather. Mr. Smoot also uses an air compressor to blow out any dust or other particles from the hide. One of the finishing touches is to paint around the eyes and do any touchup needed. The animal is then attached to a base or plaque for display. A deer shoulder mount will take six to eight hours from start to finish. Bears, because of their size and greasiness, take the most time. ‘Taxidermy is hard work and it requires a lot of patience,” said Mr. Smoot. But he feels a great deal of satisfaction and pride when an animal is completed and ready for pickup by its owner. , Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Mike Smoot finishes the mount of a deer by painting around the edge of an eye.

Past Weekend Offered Varied Events Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Newbill Miller watches as a cow and calf are auctioned off1. It was an amazing weekend of activities. Friday night the library launched its Friday evening program series with Gerald Hawkins giving a lecture and slide show on “Mindsteps to the Cosmos.” He traced man’s notions of his relationship to the universe from earliest cave men to the present saying history had brought a series of “mindsteps. ” From early cave drawings we know that man was aware of the sun, moon and stars he said. The first “mindstep” was creating myths and legends to explain these heavenly bodies. A major mindstep came with Ptolemy’s depiction of the earth as the center of the universe with other bodies revolving around it. This was a very satisfying notion to man and indicated that man hat} taken the giant step of realizing he did not live on a flat earth beneath a flat sky, Dr. Hawkins said. The Galilean cosmos with the sun at the center represented another “mindstep,” less popular because man and earth were no longer at the center. Space travel brought another “mindstep” when man learned he could leave earth. “We knew we were not restricted to a little place 8,000 miles in diameter...but romance is beginning to disappear. The moon is just a dusty old rock,” he said. We may be on the verge of another “mindstep,” Dr. Hawkins said. It may be spiritual, and the formations known as “crop circles” may lead us there. Dr. Hawkins has made a study of crop circles, which come in a variety of shapes other than circles and have been found in England, other parts of Europe, Australia and North America. He has found that they advance Euclidian geometry and show relationships similar to those in musical notes. Friday evening also was the first of a series of concerts at Wakefield Country Day School. Christopher Harding innaugurated the school’s new piano. Shortly after noon Saturday the \ Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Fran Overdorf finds a handmade paper kite easy to fly. sale of purebred Angus cattle began at Ginger Hill Farm. Newbill Miller offered 41 lots that included bulls, cows and cows with calves by their sides. The sale brought in more than $200,000, and animals from Ginger Hill have left for more than 20 states. Mr. Miller reported he was “very pleased” with the results of the sale. He noted that many of the bulls went to a commercial herd in Montana where cattle have to be able to survive in high altitude. Probably the most ambitious of the weekend’s activities was Heidi Eastham’s Ben Venue Farm Kite Festival. The winds were light to non-existent and the crowd was smaller than expected. Rain threatened but never got serious, and those who came, particularly Rappahannock families with small children, had a good time. Mrs. Eastham enlisted the help of her husband Lindsey and others driving four wheelers to help provide the acceleration needed to lift large kites. County Girl Scouts helped small children make small pa per kites. A running child provided all the acceleration required for these lightweight kites. The line for these kites was wrapped around corncobs, and at the end of the festival children with a blue dot on the bottom of their corn cobs won prizes. The “People’s Choice” trophy was won by Sophie Massie, and the “Family Trophy” was won by the De Groot family from Washington, D.C. Plans for the second annual Ben Venue Kite Festival will begin soon. The season at the Theatre in Washington was launched with the Maryland Repertory Theatre’s production of Neil Simon’s “Broadway Bound” Saturday evening. The theatre had nearly a full house. A cast member was missing and the show’s producer stepped in and performed reading from a script. The audience particularly enjoyed his performance. Weekend events also included the beginning of the youth football and soccer seasons, a junior tennis tournament for those 12 and younger, a church bazaar and yard said and a dance in Amissville.

Planning District 9 Home Based Business Conference By HELEN W. SMITH Kxtcmion Agent, Home Economics The P.D.9 Home Based Business Conference scheduled for Sept. 30 will feature three area small business persons on the marketing panel, including, including Carolton Farm & Fiber, Merrill Fish Farming and Pure Bred Cattle, and Sweetland Farm Dried Flowers business. Here is a brief description of thenbusiness: * Barbara Tinger - Carolton Farm and Fiber Carolton Farm and Fiber is a sheep farm and studio owned and operated by Gordon and Barbara Tinder. In the studio Barbara spins, weaves, dyes, and knits wool. She gives demonstrations and conducts educational classes as well as exhibiting at local events. This June Barbara resigned her full time position in Madison County to devote all of her time to their business. Her marketing efforts include: hiring a public relations firm to help get into catalogs, installing a toll free line, and offering Visa and MasterCard. Over the years she has developed her own mailing list of4500. Wayne “Skip” Merrill - Fish Farming and Pure Bred Cattle Working with three other area fanners, Skip has developed the market to provide a consistent quality supply of fish to restaurants. One of the farmers is designated as the marketing person and between the four farmers, they have 20,000 pounds of fish on supply 100 pounds a week. They are concerned about trying new feed sources, water quality, and equipment costs. They make the deliveries on their own. Mr. Merrill also has a purebred cattle business. Robert Legge - Sweetland Farm Several marketing efforts have proved successful for Robert Legge, owner of Sweetland Farm in Etlan. His business of making dried flower arrangements are sold through mail order catalogs, some retail efforts, and at his greenhouse shop in Ruckersville. Sweetland Farms employs five to six workers and has been operating for 15 years.
