According to Major Ed Streapy of the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office, five male juveniles in the Nissan stopped in Sperryville to have a mechanic check the car when it broke down. He said that it needed a timing belt, so they left the car and hitchhiked. They were let off at the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 622. Soon afterwards, a late model Chevrolet Corsica was stolen from a home in Gid Brown Hollow. $ No one was injured in the shooting incident, but a 1 See Driveby, Page A-8 • f • ‘ I Job Fair Brings Outworkers 1 ByCINDYMAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Well over 150 job seekers attended the Job Fair at the Amissville Fire Hall last Wednesday. The fair, sponsored by Congressman Frank Wolf, had been put together in response to hearing that the Aileen plant in Flint Hill will be closing in October. Representatives from 22 businesses and agencies were on hand to antswer questions and provide printed information regarding their job opportunities to interested parties. Four of the companies were Rappahannock County employers: Appetite Repair Shop, Faith Mountain Company, The Inn at Little Washington, and Rappahannock County Schools. Andy Caviness was representing Wrangler, which has plants in Luray and Madison. More people seemed to be crowded around his table than piy of the others. Another company with production type jobs was Specialty Weavers of Orange, which produces rayon velvet. ARA Virginia Skyline Co., which runs the(food concessions in Shenandoah National Park, was looking for employees who would be interested in seasonal work, as they close down for most of the winter. Sharon Pyne of the Virginia Employment Commission offered The Job Hunting Handbook, which is full of helpful information regarding resumes, interviews, how to choose an occupation, and the job outlook for 180 occupations.

That followed a vote in August to approve a curriculum to teach character virtues at the elementary school. Committees developed the curricula over the summer. Surveys of parents at both schools indicated support for teaching character virtues. At the elementary school the curriculum is designed to teach citizenship, responsibility, respect, kindness, honesty, cooperation, self-discipline and appreciation of learning. The high school curriculum includes patriotism (rather than citizenship), compassion and courtesy (rather than kindness), self-discipline, diligence, courage, patience and work ethic, as well as other virtues included in the elementary curriculum. Both curricula rely on literature to provide examples of the virtue being promoted and to lead to discussions related to the topic. Both encourage teachers to seek other examples and to use The Book of Virtues, an an thology of stories and poems by former Secretary of Education William Bennett to find material. At the elementary school, with seven virtues included in the curriculum, the plan is to promote one per month. At the high school, with 14, English teacher Jon Heddleston and guidance counsellor Joyce Brown, who wrote the curriculum, said teachers may try to cover them all or pick from among them. There are a variety of materials included and not all are literature-centered, but Mr. Heddleston and Mrs. Brown said they would rely chiefly on the English teachers to implement the curriculum. Each of the suggested units includes a form for students to use in evaluating the lesson. The curriculum notes it is important for staff members to model the virtues they are trying to teach students. The introduction also states, “Our efforts are not to coerce students to agree to or accept a particular value; rather, we hope to build awareness that will encourage students to become ethically mature decision-makers. We believe this approach to learning eventually will lead to compliance among many students.” Program To Target Guns In Schools By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ntw> SUJT Writer School Board members got to test their ability to distinguish between real and fake guns at last week’s meeting. Capt. Jeff Brown from the Sheriffs Office made a presentation on the Weapons In School Program (WISP) he will be bringing to the schools this year. Students can be suspended or expelled from school for bringing in weapons. Capt. Brown said one thing he will be doing with even the youngest students is trying to convince them not to do so. The policy applies even to toy guns, and Capt. Brown brought in ample evidence to support this policy. There were real guns made to look like toys and toy guns that look real. Even Hampton District representative Bryant Lee, who appeared to be the most knowledgable about weapons, was fooled by some of them. Capt. Brown explained that the policy applies to a variety of other weapons, including knives, brass knuckles, and various items that can be thrown or can cause serious injury. He showed the board members some weapons he said he won’t show the students because they might induce students to try to acquire them. A number of novelty items concealed knives. V He showed a video of a “student” being searched. There was quite a pile of weaponry around the student when the search was finished. The program will go over the laws on concealed weapons, brandishing weapons, “possession” of weapons and school policy on weapons. “’I’m just holding it for my friend’ won’t cut it,’” he said. Capt. Brown said the purpose is not to make children afraid of weapons but to make sure such things are not brought to school. He noted that the laws forbidding weapons in school also apply to school grounds including cars parked on school grounds, buses and other property where a school-sponsored activity is taking place. Board members also received a presentation by the high school mathematics department on the use of graphing calculators. Vickie Eastham explained that the school recommends students purchase these calculators, which cost $81, when they start Algebra II. She said students begin learning about graphing in Algebra I, but with the graphing calculators in Algebra II they can do many more problems and thus learn faster because the calculators can do the work much faster than students can in hand graphing. She had Willie Eastham and Jim Clark demonstrating the uses of the calculators and the display screen from the calculator wds projected onto a movie screen so board members and the audience could watch. ;/ Board Chairman Beverly Massie said school funds could be used to provide the calculators for those students who cannot afford them. Mrs. Eastham said almost all the students purchase the calculators which can be used for two more years of mathematics classes and for advanced science classes. She said frequently the foreign exchange students don’t purchase the calculators because they would | probably not use them after leaving RCHS. For students without calculators she said homework involves fewer problems. Superintendent David Gangel reported that atendance was at an even 1,000 on the sixth day of school. On the first day there were 970 students. Dr. Gangel said historically attendance increases throughout the fall, so the schools should meet the budgeted enrollment of 1,010. Assistant superintendent Robert Chappell reported there were problems with buses sputtering and, not running in the beginning of the school year. He said the mechanics found the problems were the result of water in the gas tanks and in the See Schools, Page A-8 Toys for Sale J Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Ann Spieker and Bill Lanning help show merchandise auctioned off at the Washington Volunteer Fire Department Saturday.

Town Council Conducts Confusing Meeting By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New» Staff Writer At the September Town Council meeting, the minutes of the August meeting were not approved after being questioned by member Reinhardt Lynch. Mr. Lynch questioned a portion of the minutes which gave the right to hire and fire employees of the town to Mayor Stew Willis and council member Tom Zumwalt. Mr. Lynch remembered the prior meeting’s motion as only giving them the right to hire an administrative assistant for the town. He decided to listen to the tape recording of the August meeting for a clarification of the issue, but when he attempted to do so, three of the six sides of the tape recordings of that meeting were blank. Mr. Lynch also discovered that much of the September meeting also was not recorded. Mr. Zumwalt, who arranged for the microphones and recording system for the council, is in charge of recording the meetings. August was the first meeting which was recorded. Mr. Zumwalt said he was concerned about the confidentiality of town records, since various records have been kept in different people’s homes and computers. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds was not present at the meeting, but Mr. Zumwalt said he wanted Mr. Reynolds to give the council a ruling on confidentiality regarding town records. Looking at the treasurer’s report of accounts payable, Mr. Lynch remarked that over 60 percent of the fire department budget had already been spent. He also said he thought that payroll should be included on the list of bills to be paid for members of the council to approve. Janice Moffett reported that at the last ARB meeting, all members indicated that they wanted to remain on the board. She also said ARB meetings would now be on the second Thursday of each month beginning in October. A public hearing was held regarding modification of the budget to include a $3,000 grant from the State of Virginia for the Washington Fire Department. Ed Barton asked, “Is it not automatically part of the budget once you receive it?” Mayor Willis responded, “Just to add this in we need to have this public hearing.” Mr. Zumwalt noted that he thought they should count on getting the grant next year and put it in the next budget. Newbill Miller said “no” to that suggestion. Mayor Willis said that the training class for the new water system will be taught by a professor from Lord Fairfax Community College who will come here to teach it. The cost will be $750, and he said the cost would come out of the water system budget. Mr. Zumwalt commented that he thought it would be good to haye as many take the class as possible. (The cost is the same for any number of students.) The class will be held in four four-hour sessions during October. Mr. Gooch reported on the board and commission terms of office for the town. He said, “Brad Fisher and I put together a list of when people were appointed. We discovered that for the first time in the history of the town, all the boards and commissions were fiilly appointed, but only two had terms which had not expired.” He said that the circuit court judge appoints members of the BZA, after he See Council, Page A-8

Court Assigns $50 Fines for Campaign Law Violations By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In General District Court on Tuesday, Doris Critzer and Mary Updike were found guilty of improprieties during the campaign for the Washington Town Council earlier this year. Each must pay a $50 civil fine. Ms. Critzer was charged with circulating a sample ballot that did not meet Virginia Code requirements, and she pleaded not guilty. The sample ballot was not in the required 24 point type, had no authorization on it by a candidate, and was on white paper (by law it must be printed on any paper other than white). Ms. Critzer said that she was supposed to have been given a package of rules when she signed up to run for Town Council, but that she did not receive them until three days before the election. She said, “I did not do this willingly and knowingly.” According to testimony from Major Ed Streapy, Ms. Critzer said that she was given about 100 copies of the sample ballot by Mary Updike and she distributed them throughout the town. She told Msyor Streapy that when she gave the ballots out to the people whose names were on the ballot they said they had no objection to being on it. The sample ballot did not list all the names of candidates running for the Town Council. The names included on the ballot were J. Stewart Willis, Jr. for mayor; Thomas L. Zumwalt for treasurer; and Doris A. Critzer, Steve Owen Critzer, J. Newbill Miller, Janice S. Moffett, Mary V. Updike and Florence M. Tupper for council members. It is not against the law, however, to leave some names off sample ballots. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said, “This was not a willful violation. Someone running for election has a duty to know the rules. PUBLIC HEARING: PUBLIC ROAD NAMES \ On Monday. October 2, 1994, at 7:00 PM at the Courthouse in Washington, VA, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors shall hold a public hearing to consider any proposed final changes to the currently adopted names for public roads in Rappahannock County. Any persons dissatisfied with the name of a public road may petition the Board of Supervisors to change the road name at the hearing specified above in the following manner: No later than Thursday, September 30, present to the County Administration Office a petition signed by a minimum of seventy-five per cent (75%) of the persons owning property and/or residing on the designated road. The petition shall attest to the signers’ dissatisfaction with the currently adopted road name, and shall include one, and one only, proposed name for the designated road. Petitions as set forth above may be presented to the County Administration Office, Old Extension Office, Gay Street, Washington, VA, during normal business hours (8:30 - 4:30 Monday - Friday), or mailed so as to be received no later than the date specified, at PO Box 519, Washington, VA 22747. Petitions received after this date and proposals unaccompanied by petitions shall not be considered at the hearing. By Order of: John W. McCarthy County Administrator Judge William Stephens told Ms. Critzer, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse. I have no options but to find that you violated the terms of the section. I impose a civil penalty of $50. If you disagree you can appeal the case.” Ms. Updike was represented by attorney J.W. “Bill” Fletcher. He told the judge that he had never seen a statute that was both civil and criminal. Judge Stevens told him his client was charged with a civil penalty but that it was a criminal proceeding. M^jor Streapy testified that Ms. Updike told him that she did not know it was a violation. He also said that there were other papers in with the sample ballot. Mr. Fletcher then wondered if the ballot was then legal since it was with campaign information from Ms. Updike. He also argued that the summons issued to Ms. Updike was not on the proper form. He said, “The summons that this was submitted on is not appro priate to bring to this court. It is on the improper form.” Mr. Luke said that all matters involving civil penalties and crimes are brought before the same court. He said. Mr. Fletcher told the judge, “You cannot prosecute someone civilly on a criminal matter.” He made a motion to strike the Commonwealth’s evidence in the case, and Judge Stephens denied it. Ms. Updike took the witness stand next. She testified that Doris Critzer offered to take her resume and the ballot around town when she gave out hers, since Ms. Updike was working. She told Mr. Luke that she had made up the ballot the week before April 18, when it was handed out. Mr. Luke said, “The Code is clear. ‘Authorized by1 must go on the document itself. The Commonwealth asks for a $50 civil penalty.” Judge Stephens imposed a $50 civil penalty on Ms. Updike.

Lottery Column Debuts This is the first edition of “Lottery Connection,” a new feature that will appear weekly in your newspaper to keep you updated on all the exciting news from the Virginia Lottery. The Lottery’s new Director, Penelope Kyle, said, “Lottery Connection will be the weekly source for information about lottery games, promotions, and news. It is an important way for us to keep in touch with Virginians.” Six Winning Years! On September 20, Virginians will celebrate six years of winning with the Virginia Lottery. Did you know that since its inception, the Lottery has awarded more than $2.24 billion in prize money to winners? In addition, more than $1.47 billion has been generated for the Commonwealth’s General Fund. The Governor and the Legislature decide how to spend the General Fund, funneling these revenues back into education, public safety, and health and human services. How Lottery Dollars Are Spent Lottery Administration Retailers Communities also win with the Lottery. Since 1988, more than $224.9 million in commissions have been paid to the businesses that carry the games. These funds go toward payrolls and store improvements to boost local economies. Anniversary Fact #1: Instant Qames Of all Virginia Lottery games, instant games - commonly referred to as scratch-off games - have been around the longest. The first one, Match 3, was introduced in September of 1988. Since then, the Lottery has come out with 42 other scratch-off games. As of this year, more than $900 million in prizes have been awarded to instant winners. That translates to about $2.88 million per week! The next new game to come out will be called MoneyBags. Look for it in stores beginning September 22, and look for more news about WRiW it right here next week. \_/ Brought to you by the Virginia Lottery. ■

Mr. Estes said he believed the line between the counties is supposed to be the line that divides the Shenandoah River watershed from the Rappahannock River watershed. “If you use the watershed it splits Chester Gap right up the middle,” Mr. Gilkey said. The issue came up with the mapping for the E-911 emergency system. Sheriff John Henry Woodward and Mr. McCarthy said it also concerns law enforcement. If the property is actually in Warren County then Rappahannock County deputies and the animal control officer have no jurisdiction. There are other subdivisions in Chester Gap that are affected, and there are a few property owners in the area who believe they are in Warren County and pay taxes in Warren County who actually live in Rappahannock County. : Grimes, Laurry, Staymans, > Red & Golden Delicious, ■ Also: Pears, Quinces, Honey, Cider and Sweet Potatoes SELLING 7 DAYS A WEEK ; Directions: 22 miles west of Warrenton, ; to Rt. 522.

She had known him since seventh grade when her older brother taught him in school. Although they never attended school together, they dated during their senior years and the year after when she wdHced as a cashier in the J.C. Penney Store in Pierre. Her older sister Ruth and two of her brothers were working in Washington, so she decided to give it a try. She found a job as a secretary working for the government. Her sister married one of the Talley boys from Louisa County, Virginia, and she introduced her sister Garnett to his brother William Talley. They got married also and had three children. Ray married too, and he and his wife Margie had six children. The years passed, and the children grew up and married and started their own families. The Talley’s son Bill was living in Florida. The older daughter Jeane was living in California, and younger daughter Ellie had married Jim Clark and was living in Tiger Valley in Rappahannock County. After her husband died Garnett Whitney Talley moved to a retirement home in Occoquan. Then Ray’s wife died. After some months, his sister Genevieve, who had kept up a correspondence with Garnett Talley over the years, gave him her address and telephone number. “We hadn’t seen each other much for 60 years,” she said. “It was a very surprising phone call, but it turned out to be the right one.” They met for the first time in many years last Thanksgiving when he came east for the formal retirement of one of his sons from the military. “We had to get reacquainted,” she said. “I visited him in Pierre in May, and that’s when we got engaged.” And then this past Saturday they got married. They are both 82. The wedding was at the Presbyterian Home Chapel in Washington, D.C. where her sister Ruth was living. Family members played almost all the roles. Ray’s grandaughter the Rev. Lisa Cass was the assisting minister. His son Steven was best man. Other descendents were groomsmen, soloist and accompaniest. The new Mrs. Cass was escorted by her son William. Older daughter Jeanne Beck was matron of honor and daughter Ellie Clark and daughter-in -law Anne Talley were attendants. “She looked so radient,” Mrs. Clark said. “He looked so delighted,” Mr. Clark reported. After a wedding night at the Gay Street Inn, they gathered with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at the Clarks Sunday. They will be returning to an apartment in Pierre at the end of the month. They will also have a log ranch house on part of the farm Ray Cass has kept. They will spend their time visiting family and friends, following high school girls’ basketball games coached by one of his sons, and eryoying their retirement. i I Photo courtesy of Hunt Harris Rappahannock’s contingent in the Anit*Disney parade in Washington, D.C., Saturday features a funeral procession. ! r Community Calendar September 23 and 24 Fall Festival, Amissville Methodist Church - 9a.m.-3p.m. (9374671 or 847-0072) , Thursday September 29 Cancer Society fashion luncheon and silent auction, at the Bleu Rock Inn -11:30a.m.-2p.m. (937-5160) Saturday October 1 Sperryville Apple Harvest Celebration - 10a.m.-6p.m. (9878547) Piano Recital by Martin Berkofsky, at the Theatre - 8 p.m. (675-1253) ■ ; - v / ' Sunday October 2 Breakfast and Bingo at the Castleton Fire Department - breakfast - 7:30a.m.-noon, Bingo - 1p.m. (937-3076 or 937-6051) Sperryville Apple Harvest Celebration - 10a.m.-6p.m. (9878547) , Friday October 7 / Jane and Calton Coon discuss Krygystan and Xinjling, at the library - 8 p.m. (675-3780) i Saturday October 15 Trinity Episcopal Churchwomen, House Tour and Dried Flower Sale - lla.m.-5p.m. (987-8183 or 675-3694) Auction, Amissville Volunteer Fire Department - 6:30p.m. (937-5125) Sunday October 16 ' | Trinity Episcopal Churchwomen, House Tour and pried Flower Sale - l-5p.m. (987-8183 or 675-3694) County Group Joined Anti-Disney March By HUNT HARRIS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Saturday, Sept. 17, a caravan of 17 Rappahannock County residents joined other members of the county and region on the streets of Washington, D.C. for a protest march and demonstration against the proposed Disney’s America theme park and development project. Peggy Shadier, known locally for her beautiful and imaginative “Friends of Gaia” figures, used the theme of “Disney Will Bury Us Alive” as a focus for ner creative inspiration for the event. A casket being borne by Disney CEO Michael Eisner, Virginia Gov. George Allen, and members of the General Assem ' I bly and Regional Transportation Board was surrounded by signs stating “Disney is Death,” “No more Fresh, Clean Water,” “Our Green Fields Will Be Gone Forever,” “Buried Alive By Disney-Our Piedmont Countryside,” and “Here Lies Our Beloved Piedmont Countryside.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21,1994 Editorial Telecommutiiig We received by fax a 10-page press release stating that at AT&T this past Tuesday 13 percent of the workforce would be telecommuting, working from their homes rather than from their company’s offices. i A one-day demonstration is not significant, but the trend to telecommuting is of great potential importance for Rappahannock County.1 1 Using computers, modems and fax machines, workers can do their work from home, sparing themselves the time and expense of a daily commute. The press release goes into great detail about potential savings of gasoline and reduced polution, increased productivity, and reduced guilt on the part of parents who now have children coming home from school to an empty house. - Currently Rappahannock County has a fairly large 1 proportion of retired people. They are increasingly important in supporting the enormous variety of community organizations which make this county so pleasant. We have also a cliurning population of workers who commute to the Washington metropolitan area. Some try for a few years, and then tire of the longer and longer commute times and move closer to their jobs. We have, like the rest of the country, a growing population of families with two wage earners. Many of our school children have parents who leave s before first light and return after dark during the winter. M^ny of these parents arrive home too tired to invest energy in community affairs. We have also a growing portion of our housing in the hands of weekenders. Some of these are very involved in community affairs. Some seek only escape during their weekends here. Most expect one day to join the ranks of the retirees. , What will happen if it is possible to live in Rappahannock and work for a company in the Washington metropolitan area without ever leaving home? One likely result will be to make the area more desireable as a place to live. Like the prospect of jobs closer to the county in Gainsville or Haymarket, this will put increasing pressure on the county’s resources. It will make preserving farmland more difficult. Rappahannock County cannot hold back these trends. We can only seek to balance residential growth with other growth so that the burden on the real estate tax rate does not force an end to our rural lifestyle.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan I 1 I Letters to the Editor Welfare Appreciated To the Editor: I would like to thank the Rappahannock department of Social Services. My husband and I were not prepared to be fulltime parents toi his children overrate, financially or otherwise. I had no parenting skills, my husband of course had some, and these children had a lot of serious problems. Social Services came to the rescue, with the assistance we needed. t Family Counseling, Food Stamps, Fuel Assistance, Medicaid, they helped with clothing and made sure the children had presents at Christmas and any other problems our family may have had Social Services was there to lend a helping hand. I feel Social Services went out of their way to help our family to stay a family when all the odds were against us. Social Services, did not make us feel like a lower form of life, that we were lazy and just out to use the system to get free hand outs. We were told that with our work history, we had been contributing for a combined thirty-five years with the taxes we have been paying, making available these services for other families in the county, and we had a right now to use them for our family. My family and I, no longer need these services, but I am certainly happy that these services were available and that the Rappahannock Department of Social Services has such caring and professional staff members to help out in a time of need. A sincere thanks to all of you. A CASTLETON RESIDENT (Editor's Note: The uniter's name is known to the editor but witheld at the writer’s request.) We Can Afford Prisons To the Editor: Send them to jail! No, I’m not talking about criminals and not just to any jail. I’m suggesting that every member of the General Assembly take a trip to the Arlington County Jail to see just what’s wrong with our criminal “justice” system. If the Allen-Gilmore proposal to abolish parole in Virginia passes next week, many prisoners will spend more time behind bars. Opponents of the plan say it’s too expensive, but that depends on what kind of prisons you build,- and what you do with the ones we already have. The best example of this is Arlington County’s ‘Tale of Two Jails.” Jail Number One: Arlington’s Democrats have just opened the new, expensive, luxurious Arlington County Jail and Courthouse Complex including such amenities as group kitchens for prisoners, cable TV, numerous basketball courts and much much more. Jail Number Two: is the “old” County Jail. It was renovated and enlarged just 10 years ago and capable of holding nearly 400 prisoners. Not as comforably as the “new” Jail, but it's a better solution than paroling them for lack of space. The Democrats who run Arlington plan to tear it down to build an underground parking garage with a big grassy on top. Nearly 400 needed spaces for dangerous criminals tom down so Virginia's taxpayers can build new, expensive, comfortable prisons elsewhere, and Arlington can have another park. , So when opponents of. the AllenGilmore plan say that we can’t afford to build the new prisons that will be needed if we abolish parole, remember “The Tale of Two Jails.” Why is it that some politicians never seem to think we can afford more for important things like schools, roads, and jails, but they find plenty of money to raise their own salaries and pass around pork barrel spending? As taxpayers, we must send a strong message. Jails are not supposed to be resorts, a sentence is not supposed to be a vacation, and the best way to stop repeat offenders is to keep them locked up. Otherwise, the real “prisoners” will be Virginia’s citizens, trapped by a fear of crime that our elected officials have done little to stop. Until now. JAMES PARMELEE State Chairman Virginia Young Republicans Centre ville North Supported Reluctantly To the Editor: People have said “I voted for the lesser of evils” to me many times, but I don’t think it has applied to what I’ve thought of my own choice. My time has come. I was a Jim Miller delegate to the Republican State Convention, and I really do not like voting for someone who has a reputation for being less than altogether honest. But when we elect a legislator, we do so hoping that he or she will vote on legislation as we would think best. (To me, that means less, rather than more, government intrusion into our lives.) I’m rather sure that that is how Oliver North will vote, and very sure that that’s not how Chuck Robb would vote. So I will vote for Colonel North, and will be unhappy with my vote and with the outcome, either way. ROBERT BRIAN BEATTIE Wood ville Move Special Ed Too To the Editor: I would like to take advantage of this forum to pass on some information to parents of Rappahannock school children and anyone else interested in education in this county. The new wing of the Elementary School was originally designated for kindergarten through second grade. Because of the numbers of children this year, there will be two rooms not needed by the K-2 students. The administration, supported jby the School Board, had decided to place two of the three third classes in these rooms. After a meeting with some parents of Special Ed children, the principal, David Smith, and the superintendent, Dr. David Gangel, have decided to reconsider using these available rooms for the Pre-K and K-2 Special Ed classes. Currently, the pre-school class is next to the Kindergarten classes while the K-2 room is two corridors away near the conjunction of the fourth-fifth and six-seventh grade halls. Should the current plan be put into operation, not only will one third grade be widely separated from the other two, but the K-2 Special Ed students will be better than one and a half times as far from their peers as they are now, while the Pre-K class will loss all proximity. These children’s parents also have concerns about safety, travel supervision, loss of achedemic time, etc. Most people may not be aware that Federal Law requires childreh in Special Ed programs be in the “Least Restrictive Environment” and have access to their peers. What this translates into in reality is that each Special Ed child is in the Special Ed classroom only for those specific periods of the day when the student requires extra attention and is required to be in the “regular’’ room the rest of the time. The student, therefore, ends up making numerous trips daily between the two rooms. To me, it only makes sense that the Special Ed class should be qn the same corridor as the regular rooms in the same age group. I would like to remind parents who are fortunate enough not to have had a child bom with conditions requiring special education, that your next child could, or that injury or illness could put any “normal” students in need of these services. Should anyone wish for additional information or to express an opinion contact Mr. Smith at the El ementary School, 987-8259, Dr. Gangel at the School Board Office, 987-8773 or your local School Board members. I am available at 6753848.

CHERYL FAIRBROTHER Woodville MARGARET BAUMGARDNER Washington The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 30 YEARS AGO Sept. 24,1964 Apples are one of the largest agricultural crops in Virginia. In Rappahannock County estimated near million bushels of fruit were harvested last year, probably the largest crop in its history. This year the estimate stands about 250 thousand bushels. While this is a light crop for Rappahannock, as is the case all over the state, the national crop will be very heavy. 20 YEARS AGO Sept, 26,1974 Planning and master plans inspired some harsh words last Wednesday night when Rappahannock’s Supervisors re jected all work done so far by the Planning Commission toward drafting the county’s first comprehensive plan. “We’ve got a co-op that coops,” grinned Lucio Kilby waving a hand that encompassed a beehive of activies at the apple packing shed at Sperryville. “All the other co-ops in Rappahannock didn’t co-op and now we’re the only big operation left.” 10 YEARS AGO Sept. 28,1984 Following a second point-bypoint review Sept. 19 of concerns raised Aug. 15 during a public hearing on the proposed zoning ordinance, county planners and supervisors now are re-: ady to begin a series of community meetings by district.

• ' 7 Canadian System Supported By LEE BIRD Bawahaaaock New* Contributing Writer It is with some trepidation that I venture to express my thoughts on health care reform in the light of all the opinions published in the newspaper during the past few weeks. ; The subject is of great complexity, exacerbated by widespread disinformation circulated by powerful, monied special interests and by political ideologues alike. The result Has been not only to arouse a primordial fear of change in the minds of many, but also to obscure facts that would be helpful in arriving at sound conclusions. The selected facts on which I base the following discussion are set forth more folly in The National Health Program Chartbook, by David U. Himmelstein, M.D. and Stefi fie Woolhandler, M.D. M.P.H., Harvard Medcial School/Cambridge Hospital, Cambridge, Mass. To my knowledge, these facts have not been challenged since their publication in 1992. Sen. Robert Dole recently said, in debate, “We have the best health care system in the world.” He repeated the statement three times for emphasis. But do we? Fact: While at least 35 million . Americans have no health insurance, an additional 50 to 70 million with insurance have such inadequate coverage that a major illness would cause them to be ruined financially. Fact: The one-third of Americans who are under-insured are1 often denied care, they are sicker and die younger. At the same time, about 300,000 hospital beds lie empty, there is a growing surplus of physicians, and a large number of unnecessary procedures and tests are performed. Comment: Rationing in the face of a shortage of resources might be a tragic necessity, but in the context of an oversupply of resources it can hardly be justified and is morally re-' pugnant. Fact: Between 1970 and 1984, ithe number of health care administrators in the U.S. increased almost six fold while the number of physicians and clinical personnel merely doubled. In 1987, per capita health costs in the U.S. were about 40 percent higher than in Canada. More than half this difference, or about $80 billion, was accounted for by the excess bureaucracy in the present U.S. system. • Fact: in 1990, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Massachusetts employed more than 6,600 people (to administer insurance to 2.5 million New England residents. By contrast, British Columbia’s provincial plan, covering 3.1 million residents, was administered by 435 people. More people work for Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Mass, than work administering Canada’s entire National Health Program, covering 26 million people. Fact: In 1987, U.S. administrative costs were $341 more per capita than Canada’s. If U.S. administrative costs were reduced to the Canadian level, the savings would amount to $80 billion (according to a 11991 GAO study), which would be sufficient to fond comprehensive coverage for all of the uninsured and to improve coverage for the underinsured. Fact: High tech care is readily available in Canada. Thus, as compared to Americans, Canadians have higher rates of heart and/or lung and liver transplants, and comparable rates of bone marrow and kidney transplants. Most of these services are regionalized, so that a small number of centers each perform a large number of procedures. Such regionalization improves the quality of care since high volume centers are better able to maintain competence, and minimizes costs by avoiding unnecessary duplication of expensive facilities. Fact: The average length of stay in hospital is 20 to 40 percent shorter in the U.S. than in most other developed nations. Same-day surgery, as mandated not by doctors but by insurance carriers, is a cast in point. Comment: Cost containment by cruelty. Fact: U.S. and Canadian health care costs, as a percent of GNP, were almost identical from 1960 until 1971 when Canada’s single-payer system was fully implemented, after which Canada’s costs were significantly lower. Fact: A study by the Senate Aging Committee and the GAO, comparing prescription drug prices in five countries, showed that in the U.S., Holland and Germany (all multiple-payer countries), such prices were substantially higher than in the U.K. and Canada, (both singlepayer countries). TTie reason why Canadians pay only 62 percent as much as American for identical pharmaceuticals is that the larger and powerful buyer—the single payer— has considerable leverage in price negotiations with the drug industry. Fact: Despite our enormous wealth, the U.S. infant mortality rate is among the highest of any developed nation. The reason is primarily due to lack of access to prenatal care. According to a 1987 UNICEF study, the U.S. had and infant mortality rate of almost 10 per 1,000 births. The rate for Singapore was 8+ per 1,000, for Canada 7+ and for Sweden 5 +. Fact: in 1989, life expenctancy for men in the U.S. was almost two years less than in Canada and other developed nations. The life expectancy for women in 1989 was about two years less than in Canada and several other developed nations. Comment: Our high poverty rates and poor access to health care are responsible for this poor record. Fact: A Harris poll asked a random sample of Canadians the following question: “In the U.S. system the government pays most of the cost of health care for the elderly, the poor and the disabled. Most others either have health insurance paid by their employers or have to buy it from an insurance company. Some have no insurance. Under the U.S. system people can choose their own doctors and hospitals. On balance, would you prefer the U.S. system of the system we have here (in Canada)?” The answers to this question were as follows: three percent preferred the U.S. system; 95 percent preferred the Canadian system and two percent were unsure. \ Conclusion: A sensible, economical, and humane national health plan should, like Canada’s, include the following elements: • Universal, comprehensive coverage.

This would allow the virtual elimination of hospital billing and most internal cost accounting; • Separate capital budgets. The separate appropriation of capital funds would facilitate rational health planning, and discourage hospitals from skimping on care in order to accumulate funds for expansion; • A single, public payer. Singlesource payment is the key to both equal access and cost control. Public administration is far more efficient than administration by private insurers. Thus, it is a fact that private insurance overhead averages more than 13 percent, while Canada’s public program has an overhead of 0.7 percent and the U.S. Medicare program has an overhead of about three percent; • Public accountability but minimal bureaucracy. Public accountability is essential, but should not be accomplished through bureaucratic intrusion in the details of clinical practice. A single-payer system permits the monitoring of patterns of practice, with more detailed reviews reserved for physicians displaying outlandish practice patterns. The case-by-case oversight characteristic of current utilization review methods should be minimized, as it is in Canada and in other singlepayer systems. We all have our fear of change. We all have our unreasoning ideologies that are unaffected by facts (as distinguished from money). It is time to forget them and get on with the business at hand. 1 1 r ....

Plans Are Underway for Dried Flower Sale and House Tour A year has passed by so swiftly and now it is hard to remember the ice and snow of the past winter. However, before we are faced with another Rappahannock winter, we can look forward, with pleasure, to the thirty-eighth annual Episcopal Church Women of Bromfield Parish House Tour and Dried Flower Arrangement Sale. Three houses are open as usual, but these houses are not usual. To begin we have Farfelu owned by Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Raney. Not only is Farfelu an attractive home, but the winery will be open during the tour. Farfelu was the first licensed winery in Virginia. Farfelu will be the tea house for this year’s tour. Hungry Run Farm owned by Mr. David Close is a working cattle farm i managed by Jane Naramore and her assistant Ruby Jackson. A guest house and the old cemetery are features of this distinctive property. Our third home on the tour is a two story cabin on the farm owned by Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Kummli. Mr. Kummli has lovingly restored this cabin as well as having moved it piece by piece to its present location. To be able to sustain an event for nearly forty years takes a lot of drive and dedication. Even as this is written, the arrangements are being created at Trinity’s Parish Hall. New signs for the tour are being painted and lettered. Calls are going out for all the people who are hostesses in each house, while others are interviewing and writing the notes that the hostesses use. 1 I Each year we are at the mercy of the weather and this summer had a lot of wet wather. Still there will be flowers as the drying goes on all during September and early October. All our flowers and our foliage is produced in our gardens or woods and treated appropriately. All the arrangements can be seen at the Parish Hall beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 15 and Sunday, Oct. 16 at 1 p.m. The houses will be open at the same hours. Tea will be served at Farfelu from 2-5 p.m. both days. Tickets will be available at Trinity or each house. Tickets prices remain the same-$3.50 per house or $10 for all three houses. Call your friends and remind them of this special weekend. • _ • i ; • To Fmsh Her Term Paper, She Called Up William Shakespeare. “To be or not to be: that is the question. ” And when you need an answer, sometimes you have to go straight to the source.

Is design really important in a garden space this small? How can we make sure that the little garden we’ve labored over in front of the courthouse is successful? These questions are important and yet difficult to answer for the volunteers, both individuals and groups, who often take the lead on small public garden projects around libraries, playgrounds, and community centers. Undeniably, public gardens pose unique challenges. On Oct. 7 and 8 at The State Arboretum of Virginia at Blandy Farm, participants in the symposium “In the Public Eye: The Design of Small Gardens” can gain valuable information and techniques to help ensure the success of these beautification projects. Panel members include garden designers, horticulturists, and volunteer organizers with experience in establishing such public plantings. In the course of the two-day symposium participants will visit four small public gardens and discuss them. In addition, eight presenters will deliver lectures and participate in roundtable discussions on topics ranging from recommended plants, to finding, to the planting of thematic gardens. Registration for the conference is $68 for members of the Friends of the State Arboretum and $75 for non-members. The fee includes two lunches, refreshments for mornings and breaks, and garden tour transportation. Registration at the door will be an additional $5. Registration by credit card is available by telephone. Other forms of payment should be mailed to FOSA Programs, P.O. Box 175, Boyce, Va. 22630. The 1994 Fall Symposium is presented by the Landscape Design Critics Council, VFGC, Inc., and the State Arboretum of Virginia as part of the Tenth Anniversary Celebration of the Founding of the Friends of the State Arboretum.

Only 179 more days till we’re out ofhere!” I started thinking about that and decided maybe I could manage 179 days of lectures, and homework, and research papers. Maybe I could wait 179 days until graduation. Maybe. This school year has brought with it many changes. The lunch program has been remodeled to include more self-service and healthy food selections. New teachers have been brought in. Most importantly, we have a new computer lab. The lab, which includes four Mac LC 575’s with CD ROM drives, six Mac LC Ill’s, two Power Macs, and a printer, is part of a special technology grant. While the other lab is used for classes each day, this new lab can be used by students throughout the day. The only problem is that the lab must be supervised during the day, and no faculty members are available. The high school is asking for community volunteers to help if at all possible. Anyone interested can be trained to help. Please call 9878675 to volunteer. There is also some important news for college-bound students. That SAT deadline for the November test is Sept. 30. The December test deadline is Oct. 28. In addition, college night will be held at Culpeper County High School from 7-9 p.m. on Sept. 29 and at Fauquier County High School from 7-9 p.m. on Oct. 6.

" Depression Screening Offered Mental health professionals from Rappahannock Family Guidance Services will offer local residents the opportunity to learn about the signs and symptoms of depression and to participate in a free screening as part of National Depression Screening Day, Thursday, Oct. 6. The free program will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock Family Guidance Office in Washington. National Depression Screening Day, which highlights Mental Illness Awareness Week, was developed by Harvard psychiatrist, Mr. Douglas Jacobs. Last week, this four year old national effort attracted more than 56,000 people to 1,300 sites across the country. National Depression Screening day inaugurated the concept of screening for a nental illness. Participants at the Rappahannock Family Guidance Services Depression Screening will hear a brief talk on the causes, symptoms, and treatments of depression. Individuals will complete an anonymous written screening test of depression symptons and have the opportunity to discuss the results with a mental health professional. Depression strikes more than 15 million Americans each year, according to figures from the National Institute of Mental Health. Only one in four individuals with depression, however, actually seeks treatment f even though treatments can help 80 percent of those affected. “We hope that this nationwide effort to provide mental health screening for depression will educate the public about the signs and symptoms of depression and encourage those who may be vulnerable to seek evaluation and treatment,” said National Depression Screening Day Project Director, Dr. Douglas Jacobs. , National Depression Screening Day is sponsored on the national level by the American Psychiatrio Assn., National Institute of Mental Health, Harvard Medical School Psychiatry Dept., National Mental Health Assn., National Depressive and Manic-Depressive Assn.* AARP, National Alliance for the Mentally 111, and McLean Hospital; Supporters include the America^ I Psychiatric Foundations, the Ameri' can Assn of Suicidology, the NaZ tional Assn, of Psychiatric HealtB Systems, The American Assn, of General Hospital Psychiatrists, th$ American Hospital Assn.

Hay Sellers Have Marketing Choices ' >. , Hay buyers and sellers can get together through several widely advertised hay listing services provided largely by government agencies. Virginif .as only recently become active in developing an organized marketing system for its cash hay and straw products. Unlike other crops, first cutting alfalfa hay varies widely in its appearance and feeding value between states. In response to this lack of a grading system for hay, forage testing is a tool used or encouraged in several of the listing and marketing services that buyers and sellers can use to rank the hay being sold. i Apple Fest Set i Plans are underway for the annual Apple Harvest Celebration in the village of Sperryville for the weekend of October 1 and 2. As always merchants will have special sales to appeal to buyers. There will be live entertainment including John Jackson, the Hazel River Band, Don’nel Pratt and others. There will be special activities for children and demonstrations of basket weaving and apple butter boiling. i If you are a hay seller you can use a good forage test to describe how much your hay is worth, and of course buyers can use forage results to pick and choose for the specific feeding qualities they want. There are three marketing options available. The Central Virginia Hay Market Guide is a listing published out of Fluvanna County Extension office that asks for but does not require a forage test. They charge a $5 listing fee and require that the hay be of Virginia origin. Local Extension offices can take your consignments of either hay or straw and will ask for a type of hay, cutting, amounts, bale type and weight, forage analysis, price at the farm and is delivery available. Using a forage anaylsis and listing the price are optional. This guide will be published on Oct. 1 so submit your listings now. VDACS has a Virginia Hay Clearing House that lists hay supply for the entire state by regions. We happen to have a Culpeper regional listing that includes counties around us. This listing includes if you are buying or selling and all of the same information as described above. Forage results are optional and there is no charge to use this listing. Call 804-786-3947 to list your hay with VDACS. The Virginia Forage and Grassland Council has a Hay Tel-o-Auction. They require hay sellers to: be VFGC member, use forage testing results, offer only high quality hay and pay 4 percent of the sale price to cover marketing and bonding costs.

Beware, 'Prizes' Can Be Costly I For some people, winning a “prize” could be a costly mistake. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has recently received reports from consumers about several promotional schemes involving promises of fabulous prizes coupled with urgent demands for money. According to the Virginia Prizes and Gifts Act, however, if you are told that you have won a prize, that item must be delivered to you at no expense within ten days. “This sort of scam never seems to disappear completely,” notes J. Carlton Courter III, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “It just keeps reappearing in slightly different forms.” According to one report, a woman received a call from a Houston-based company, telling her that she has won a luxury car or its equivalent in cash. To receive the prize she had to send in $299, supposedly to pay the taxes on the prize. The money had to be sent overnight via a courier service for her to qualify. , In other versions of this same ploy, consumers were told the money was for insurance, handling charges or shipping. Sometimes they were also asked to provide snapshots of themselves posed beside the prize “as a record of the winners for the quarter.” In a similar situation, another consumer was told by a caller that she was a “first place winner.” The caller mentioned the name of the spokesperson for a nationally known sweepstakes and then told the consumer that in order to receive the prize she had to pay $999.99. Again, the money had to be sent via a courier service, this time arranged by the caller. The consumer declined the offer, as well as a second offer with a lower payment. When the caller reacted angrily, the consumer hung up. In each of these situations, the intended victim took the time to consider the offer and ask questions before sending the money, thereby avoiding significant financial loss. Rather than relying on instinct or luck, consumers should look for the warning signs that indicate when the offer of a “wonderful” prize might well be bogus. One sure sign is that the offer sounds too good to be true. Telephone solicitors are in the business of making money, not giving it away. A second is having to send a payment before receiving the prize. This can leave the consumer without either the prize or the payment if the company does not make good on its prize offer. Another warning sign is when the payment has to be shipped through a courier company, rather than mailed. This is a tactic to avoid involving the Post Office. Because scam artists do not want to risk investigation and prosecution by the Postal authorities, they use alternate means to transfer the funds they scam from their victims. One Of the most common signals that a deal may not be legitimate is when the caller insists on an immediate decision or reaction. When consumers are told that they must act instantly to take advantage of an offer, that isv when they should slow down the decision making process to allow time for questions and consideration, which is just what the con artist wants to avoid. Sometimes instead of cash, the shysters will ask for a credit card number or bank account number to “verify the prize.” Consumers should be particularly wary of this approach. Through the account numbers, con artists can bill charges to the charge card and remove money from the checking account, without the knowledge or consent of the consumer. “By paying attention to the warning signs of telemarketing fraud, people can save themselves time, aggravation, dashed hopes and a lot of money. Although Virginia law provides protection against bogus prize offers, the first and most effective line of defense is a careful consumer,” notes Betty Blakemore Sulzbach, Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs. i ►Council From Page A-l interviews them. He also said that a new town council could appoint a whole new planning commission which would run with the four years of the town council. Mayor Willis said that he talked with Frank Reynolds about it, and said that he would like Mr. Reynolds to look at the issue some more and discuss it at the next meeting. He also said he wishes to make appointments at the next meeting. Mr. Gooch objected saying, “We would like to know before the next meeting whether we are making two appointments or 15 appointments.” He expressed desire to talk about the appointments at the November meeting instead of October. Mayor Willis said, “You could make a motion.” Mr. Gooch responded, “I dont have much luck with my motions with this council.” Ed Barton asked, “Is it the concern of the Town Council that people on the ARB are not legally appointed at this point? Mr. Zumwalt said that at this point everyone needed to be asked if they wished to continue. Mr. Barton continued, “I don’t think it was the intent that the ARB be a political thing.” Patrick O’Connell commented, “It was the assumption of people on the ARB that their term would automatically be reappointed.” Charles Eldred said that he thought the original intent was that the terms be staggered to give continuity to the boards. Mr. Lynch said, “It seems to me that we should let the public know what will be decided at the next meeting. Mr. Barton said that from now on he felt that anyone appointed should get a letter from the mayor stating the dates of their appointment. He also said that he was told that his term on the ARB was for four years. The appointments will be discussed further at the October meeting. Mayor Willis moved to cancel the appointment of Tom Zumwalt and Steve Critzer to the Water Authority, saying the town has never had a water authority. However, he wants them to manage the water system on a day to day basis. Mr. Barton asked when the council expected the water in town to stabilize. He said that; he had run water into his swimming pool without checking it, and found later that the water was brown. Mayor Willis told him that he hoped it would be soon, that the water is not yet being filtered by the pumphouse. Mayor Willis said that he wanted to refer the Historic District Ordinance to the Planning Commission. “I also want Frank Reynolds to get back to us about what “aggrieved” means. I would like the Planning Commission to look at it and make sure everything is defined,” he said. Mr. Lynch asked if anyone front the Planning Commission expressed an interest in it coming back to them, and if they had a concern about it. Mayor Willis responded, “No." Mr. Gooch asked if all the ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan should be referred to them. He said, “I get concerned that, as we consider our ordinances and Comprehensive Plan, that there consistently seems to be an undercurrent of distrust in pur town council.” Diane Welty, as a representative of the colonial dancers, received permission from the council to use the Town Hall two nights a week for practice, and the $10 an hour fee will be waived, but the dancers must pay a refundable $50 cleaning deposit. Administrative assistant Kaye Kohler introduced herself to everyone in attendance at the meeting. She will be working in the town hall office from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mayor Willis told council members that she is there to support all of them. J Following an executive session at the end of the meeting, the council voted to accept a loan from Dr. William Young of Washington for the Town Hall. The loan will be a sei cured loan in the amount of $44,000 with 4 1/2 percent interest, amortized for 25 years. There will be a balloon payment after four years. ►Driveby i 1 From Page A-l i Front Royal town employee had a hole shot in the roof of his pickup truck.

There will be an intermural basketball program for six and seventh grade students after school, Dr. Gangel reported. He said parents favored such a program in a survey, and basketball was selected because community groups provide soccer and baseball teams for county youth. He also reported that for the first time in years premiums for health insurance for employees did not increase. The premium for a single subscriber remains $202 per month. The School Board pays nearly $178 of that. The board approved plans for room assignments at the elementary school once the addition is finished. The addition will hold the kinder* garten, first and second grades and two of the three sections of third grade. Two of the rooms that are currently divided will be empty so the dividers can be removed. A third divided classroom will be used for speech therapy. Several of the rooms now being used for the primary grades will be used for special education. Music and art classes will get separate classrooms.

Orchardist Grows Antique Apple Varieties By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Mel Naumann loves to grow apples, and the more varieties the better. His Flint Hill orchard, named Indian Hill, has 686 trees, and 120 produce antique apples. And he is still planting new trees every year. Mr. Naumann retired from the federal government in 1972, and then moved from Northern Virginia hack to his home state of Texas. The beauty of the Virginia mountains lured him back to this area in 1978, when a piece of property in Flint Hill, which he had his eye on for quite a while became available. That land has proven to be a prime place for growing apples. Mr. Naumann originally planned to have 15 or 20 trees, but when he began seeing the antique apple varieties in catalogs, he “just got interested in it,” he said. When he received a catalog from Miller Nurseries of Canandaigua, New York, he ordered one of every antique apple tree they offered, a total of 28 trees. The antique apple varieties, which the Miller catalog says are ; “rare apple flavors favored by our forefathers,” have names like Opalescent, Westfield Seek-No-Further, Tompkins County King, Sheepnose, Snow Apple and Spitzenburg (Thomas Jefferson’s favorite apple). Miller’s is just one of many of the sources for Mr. Naumann’s antique apple trees. He also orders from Burford in Monroe, Virginia. The Burford family belongs to the North American Fruit Explorers (NAFEX), an organization which strives to preserve antique varieties of fruit trees. Mr. Naumann said that Bur Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Lady apples will ripen in time to be used for Christmas decorations. PJ'-V g" -1 TWifff Sunshine reaches into this carefully pruned tree and helps to ripen the fruit. Piano Concert Scheduled An international virtuoso in the grand 19th-century tradition, Martin Berkofsky, will give a recital of music for the piano by Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt at the Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1. The concert will be the first solo piano recital of classical music to be held at the Theatre at Washington, which is already becoming known as a venue for chamber music and vocal recitals. Berkosky has chosen to include in this program six mazurkas and the Polonaise-Fantasie, Op. 61, by Chopin, Beethoven’s Sonata, Op. 10, No. 2, in F major, and some rarely heard Liszt-Wagner transcriptions. For 13 years Berkofsky resided abroad, performing and broadcasting extensively in 25 countries. He returned to the United States in 1991 and appeared at the Kennedy Center in performance with Gervase de Peyer and James Buswell, members of the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society. Reviewing a concert held in Germany, the newspaper Schwabisches 1 Tageblatt, said, “Berkofsky deserves unlimited praise as an interpreter of Liszt. He had not only the surety of technique and dexterity at his disposal, but also the mental powers to realize and sculpt the picturesque conceptions. His capacity for concentration, like his unbelievable physical reserves, excite admira tion.” The Washington Post referred to his playing as “intensely poetic.” Of Russian background, Berkofsky was born in 1943, in Washington, D.C. His progress as a “prodigy” was so rapid that by the age of eight he was already giving public performances and television broadcasts. Berkofsky went on to study first with the reowned Polish virtuoso and student of Busoni, Mieczyslaw Munz, then with Konrad Wolff, himself a leading scholar of Artur Schnable, then finally with Hans Kann in Vienna. The piano recital by Martin Berkofsky will be held at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1. Tickets are $13.50 with reservation and $15 at the door. Children half price. For reservations and further information about his concert, phone 675-1253. ■BB Photo courtesy of (he Theatre in Washington Pianist Martin Berkofsky will perform October 1. ford grafts scion wood (from the desired descendant) onto rootstock to grow the antique varieties. He said if someone finds an apple tree in the wild they are unable to identify, NAFEX will help. So, even though there are already 3,000 named apples in existence worldwide, new varieties are still being discovered. Mr. Naumann knows of an apple tree up the mountain from where he lives which he hopes NAFEX can help him identify. One of the prides of his orchard is a Sommerfeld apple tree, which he believes was named after his stepfather. Mr. Naumann ordered the seedling from California, and said that when he sees that tree in his orchard, he sometimes get a tear in his eye. Mr. Naumann normally buys “whips,” tree seedlings which are 30 inches tall with no branches yet. He plants the whips in one end of his vegetable garden until they reach a height of about three feet, and then he transfers them to the orchard. He keeps extensive and accurate notes on each and every one of his trees, culled from many years of research and personal observations. His two volumes of information contain a page for each tree, listing its name, AKA’s (other names for the same variety), a physical description of the fruit, how the fruit tastes, when it ripens, information regarding funguses or other possible problems it might encounter, and history of the fruit. One example in the book is for an antique apple named Calville Blanc, also known as Calville Blanc d’Hiver (White Winter Calville). Mr. Naumann describes the apple as “pale green fruit with light red dots on sun-exposed side. Bottom half sharply segmented, lines often extend to the stem. Medium to large, flat, round with uneven ribs extending length of fruit. Tender, sweet, spicy, flavorful, yellowish-white flesh. Banana-like aroma. Excellent for eating fresh, sauce, cooking. Tree fruits early. Susceptible to cedar-apple rust, resistant to scab. Needs sunny location to fully ripen. Must be stored a month or longer to bring out its superb effervescent flavor. Old French dessert variety first mentioned in 1627. A premier apple still served in finest French restaurants. Favorite of Thomas Jefferson. Grown by Le Lectier, collector for Louis XIII at Orleans, France.” After reading this description, it is easy to see why Mr. Naumann enjoys growing so many types of apples. Another of his favorites is the Lady Apple, which is a tiny crisp and juicy apple, traditionally a Christmas dessert apple. His book describes it as “an exquisite fruit Museum Gets New Director A retired Navy captain is now at the helm of the Museum of Culpeper History. Capt. John D. Hague, USN Ret., became the executive director of the E. Davis Street museum in early August. Capt. Hague has a longterm interest in history which was generated in part by his father, who had a deep fascination with the two widely divergent views of the Civil War, North and South. Despite this starting point, and also despite living in the middle of much of Culpeper history near Raccoon Ford for the past 15 years, he said one of the noteworthy things about the local museum is that it doesn’t center on the years from 1861 to 1865. Instead, “It has everything from the 215 million-year-old dinosaur tracks to current history.” He considers the museum, developed several years ago by a group of volunteer citizens with the help of a major donation from local historian Russell Guinn, of great potential value. Looking beyond the simple satisfaction of having an organization dedicated to the preservation of valued local institutions and memories, there is the more pragmatic view. “Tourist dollars are the cleanest dollars the town and county can have, and the museum is the only registered tourist attraction we now have,” he said. used in Williamsburg, Virginia, for centerpieces and della Robbia wreaths.” Like the Calville Blanc, the lady apple was also grown in the gardens of Louis XIII. Not only does Mr. Naumann keep copious notes on his apple orchard, he spends a great deal of time with the upkeep. He prunes his trees so that the sunlight can reach down to the middle of the tree. “The more sunlight, the better the color of the fruit,” he said. Each tree is labelled with the variety. Mr. Naumann does not sell his apples. He can’t even eat them anymore because he has diabetes. He derives a lot of pleasure from giving them away. He gives many to his church, Amissville Methodist. Church members will be making apple butter with his apples on October 14 and 15. He said that giving away apples is his contribution to humanity. Besides the 120 antique variety apple trees, he also has 175 red delicious, 196 golden delicious, 102 staymans, 45 winesaps, 7 yorks, and 49 romes. Even though there are probably hundreds of recipes using apples, Mr. Naumann still loves to make applesauce. He says to peel, core and cut up the apples. Put them in a large pan with a small amount of water. Cook over a low heat for about an hour, stirring frequently. The applesauce is good as is, or sugar, cinnamon or salt be added for extra flavor. In this grafted tree the root stock is at the bottom. The de< sired apple variety branches off to the left. 'Friends' Concert Was a Success By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Neva Contributinf Writer “Friends of the Library” filled The Theater in Washington Sunday afternoon, Sept. 18. The occasion was a musical gala Library benefit organized by The Theater in Washington, the musicians who performed, and others, including Board members of the Friends of the Library. Both the Theater and the performers donated their services for the benefit of the Library. Featured singers were Peter Barton, baritone, son of residents Martha and Edward Barton, and Deanna Briedis, soprano. Both of the singers live in the metropolitan Washington area. Michael Taylor, pianist, accompanied them, as did Jacqueline Grenning, clarinetist, who joined for several songs. The singers selected music from a broad spectrum, ranging from Henry Purcell (1658-95) to Lucy Simon, with selections from The Secret Garden. In between, the audience heard folk music, Puccini and Verdi operatic selections, and popular songs by Leonard Bernstein, Cole Review \ Porter, George Gershwin and others. The music both challenged and displayed and talents of Mr. Barton and Ms. Briedis. The duet they sang from Verdi’s La Traviata called for dramatic as well as vocal skills. The clarity of enunciation of both singers showed excellent training and the purity of their voices rang out beautifully. The program lasted from 4-6 p.m., which was particularly convenient time for the audience which was invited to a reception after the concert at Mr. and Mrs. Barton’s home, The Meadows, located within walking distance of the theater. The success of this thoroughly delightful occasion should encourage the Friends of the Library to seek out another Sunday afternoon event in the future. The benefit to the Library is in excess of $1,000. Weekend Left for Art Show The Middle Street Gallery in Washington is a most agreeable setting for Connie Canby’s solo exhibition titled “Experiential Odyssey.” Like the lush Virginia landscape, Canby’s mixed media paintings are bursting with light, color, and mysterious beauty. . Canby, who has been painting for over thirty years, has her roots in the Washington Color School. Her artistic process is both spontaneous and complex: “To me, painting is the seduction of spirit and includes a full range of human experience. My objective is to express color as energy in movement of space. Thus, nature and endless mysteries are unfolded, revealing themselves in endless related graphs, patterned volumes... the visual art of abstract poetry expressed through vital rhythms,” she said. The show runs until Sept. 25.

There is, of course, a great difference. Tranquilizers are sometimes prescribed to soothe a troubled mind or body; but tranquility of the mind comes through the _ # calm peace that is realized Tr21Yini1ll Iff 1VIH CL when one's life is so attuned 1 Mill to God’s will that there is neither time nor space to allow frustration and confusion to invade the inner spirit of the soul. A tranquil mind is not an inactive one, and it is never a closed door, but rather an open door to more abundant blessings with an ever faithful assurance that God has even more blessings in store for us.

Are You Being Oxidized? By HELEN W. SMITH KitinaiaB Agent, Home Economic* Feeling a little rusty? It may be those pesky free radicals at work. But, fear not! It’s the antioxidants to the resuce! Scientists believe that antioxidants offest a normal body process known as oxidation that results in the formation of altered molecules called free radicals. Free radicals, which steal electrons (parts) from other molecules, can cause irreversible damage may lead to the formation of cancer cells. Free radicals have also been blamed for such ailments as heart disease or cataracts and the aging process itself. The body naturally produces antioxidants that protect cells from free radical attack. Antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamins C and E and beta carotene, also fight free radicals in a variety of ways. Most health authorities recommend getting antioxidants and other cancer fighting substances from a well-balanced eating plan rather than by taking supplements. HOME ECONOMICS But should you take a supplement anyway - “just to be safe?” According to available evidence, they won’t do you any harm. However, no one yet knows how much of each would be adequate - or over how many years you would need to i take them - to ward off chronic diseases and to slow the aging process. And, aside from taking a bite out of your wallet, it’s possible that side effects may be discovered for the me gadoses some people now recommend. Your best bet is to stick to a wellbalanced eating plan that includes a variety of vitamin-rich foods. Five fruits and vegetables a day should be the minimum - especially yellow, orange or green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, tomatoes and berries - which are high in vitamin C and beta-carotene. Whole grains, wheat germ, and nuts supply vitamin E. In your quest to increase your vegetable intake, include cruciferous ones. These are vegetables in the cabbage family. They contain chemicals such as phenols, indoles, flavones, and isothiocyanates that help turn toxic compounds into less toxic ones. Sources of Antioxidants Vitamin C - The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin C is 60 mg per day. A safe limit should not exceed 1,000 mg. When you translate milligrams into cups, ounces, and regular serving sizes, here's what you get for vitamin C: 6 ounces orange juice (165 mg), 1/2 grapefruit (120 mg), medium orange (70 mg), 1/2 cup broccoli (58 mg), and one green pepper (89 mg). Vitamin E - The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin E is 30 mg per day. A safe limit ranges from 100-600 mg, depending on body size. Good sources and serving sizes are: medium sweet potato (6 mg), 1 cup fortified cereal (27 mg), 3-1/2 ounces wheat germ (14 mg), and 1 cup dried apricots (7 mg). Beta Carotene r There is no U.S. RDA for beta carotene. But the U.S. RDA for vitamin A, which is formed from beta carotene, is 5,000 International Units (IU). Good sources and serving sizes are raw carrot (20,250 IU), medium sweet potato (21,800 IU), 1/4 cantaloupe (4,300), and 1/2 cup broccoli (1,100IU). Here are some ways to increase your fruit and vegetable intake: •Use cooked fruit to compliment meat entrees. ii . ' •Drink a blended fresh fruit smoothie for an afternoon "pick me up.” •Keep a bowl of fresh fruit in the kitchen for between meal snacks instead of chips, cookies, and other high calorie, low-nutrient snacks. •Drink juice in place of sodas, coffee and tea. •Keep supplies of shredded cabbage and chunks of broccoli or cauliflower in the refrigerator to toss in sakds. •Try berries or a bowl of fresh fruit for a refreshing dessert. Low-Cal Spinach Dip 2 cups chopped, fresh spinach or 10 ounces frozen, chopped 1 bunch green onions, chopped 1 8 ounce can water chestnuts, sliced 1 package dried vegetable soup mix 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise ! 11/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt 1/2 cup shredded carrots 1 round loafrye, pumpernickel or sourdough bread (or other dipping items such as crackers or vegetables; melba toast is wonderful!) :/ If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out the water. Combine all ingredients, except the bread and chill in the refrigerator for at least three hours before serving. Hollow out loaf of bread, and use shell to serve dip. Use bread cubes for dipping.

Ciba-Geigy has filed an Answer denying all essential allegations of the Complaint, and asserting affirmative legal defenses.

IV. PROPOSED SETTLEMENT A Settlement has been entered into between the Class Representatives.

The MMT Fund will pay for a medical monitoring program designed to detect at an early stage the form of bladder cancer alleged to be associated with Galecron®: specifically, primary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary collecting system, i.e., renal pelvis, ureter, bladder and urethra.

The 1995 Hagers-Town Town and Country Almanack is just reaching the newsstand this week. This will be the Almanack’s 198th continuous eyar of publication. The Almanack, known for its weather predictions that are made 18 months in advance, also discusses the results of eleven (11) years of collecting woolly bears and how they have done predicting winters. The Almanacks publishes the up and down signs of the moon, tells one the best days of each month to plant, weed and harvest crops as well as go fishing to catch that “big one.” Also the Almanack gives many, many hints for the housewife, handyman, farmer and gardener as well as astronomical information. ■ This old Almanack became the hottest almanac on the newsstands last year. The Winter of 1993-1994 broke all kinds of records for low temperatures, heavy snow, and duration of snow cover. And we were the only ones to predict this accurately in the long range. Our good friend William Scott was one of the first to publicize the accuracy of our predictions in a Today show broadcast on NBC-TV in early February. Between the middle of February and the end of March, our weather prognosticator, Professor William E. O’Toole, a Mount St. Mary’s College Computer instructor, gave over 35 interviews for TV, radio, newspapers and magazines. 1 For the coming year, our winter forecast period begins on Oct. 30, 1994 and ends on March 29, 1995. During that time, we expect 101 cold days, 69 wet days, 23 cyclonic storms and 51 inches of snow. February again shquld be the snowiest month. !'

Have a great week and please call me when you have news. Fall Vegetable Gardening By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer By now, most of your spring crops are out of the garden and weeds are beginning to encroach on what once was a productive space. Don’t yield to the summer doldrums, lay in the sun, and let the weeds take over. Get in there and weed. Weeds that you let take over will increase your garden work by providing a home from which insects and diseases can attack your vegetables this year and next. They also will be the source of a thousand more seeds and weeds. They will gradually make their way to your still productive garden space and reduce the harvest by competing for light, water, and nutrients. Vegetables Can Fill The Empty Spaces, Instead of Weeds These potential problems can be stopped before developing by planting another crop in those empty spaces. These vegetables can be harvested at the end of the growing sea son, just before the first fall frost. Some of the best quality produce grows in the warm days and cool nights of the fall season. These environmental conditions add sugar to sweet com and crispness to carrots. Seccession plantings of warm season crops such as com and beans can be harvested until the first killing frost. Cool season crops such as kale, turnips, mustard, broccoli, cabbage and spinach grow well during fall days and withstand light frosts. Figure Planting Time Based on Expected First Frost Timely planting is a key to a successful fall garden. To determine the time to plant a particular vegetable for the latest harvest in your area, you need to know the average first day of killing frost and the number of days to maturity for the variety you are growing (found on most seed packets). By subtracting the number of day to maturity from the first day of killing frost, you can determine that last date to plant. Since crop maturity is slower in the cool temperature of fall and frost could come early, it is wise to allow two additional weeks in figuring a final planting date. I Plant When Soil Is Moist Dry soil may present a problem with getting a uniform germination from seeds during midsummer. Plant your fall vegetables when the soil is moist after a rain, or thoroughly water i the area before you plant. Cover your seeds about twice as deeply as you did last spring. Remember to restore fertility to the soil before planting your fall crops in a light layer of compost or aged manure, or a small application of a complete chemical fertilizer. Young plants also need sufficient moisture. Irrigate when necessary, and prevent weed growth by cultivation and mulching. (Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.) Prince Michel To Feature National Music Acts Prince Michel de Virginia, Virginia’s leading winery, will be celebrating the 1994 grape harvest with it’s ninth annual Fete des Vendanges “Champagne Jam” Wine Harvest Festival from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15.
