Judging Risk of Pesticide Exposure Is Challenging By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Start Writer l It is nearly impossible to determine the extent to which Rappahannock orchardists and their employees have been exposed to chlordimeform, the pesticide used in Galecron and Fundal. According to Mike Weaver of Virginia Tech the insecticide, which was used against mites, was recommended for use on cotton and orchard fruits from 1968 to 1977 and on cotton only from 1978 to 1988 when it was withdrawn from the market. Last week ads were purchased in the largest circulation newspapers in all counties in the 48 contiguous states, including the Rappahannock News, to inform workers exposed to Galecron on the job of a settlement agreed to by Galecron manufacturer Ciba-Geigy in a class action suit brought in U.S. District Court in Alabama. Workers who were exposed can remain parties to the suit by doing nothing or may actively participate in health screening and treatment if the settlement is approved by the court. Workers who do not wish to participate in the class action must specifically opt out of the settlement by mailing a request for exclusion to the Clerk of the Court in Ala bama. The notice must be received by December 14. Gordon Thornhill, manager of the Rappahannock Farmers Co-op, said the Co-op never carried Galecron. He said he remembers seeing advertisements for the product sent out by the company, but the Co-op never ordered any. He said he did not know if the Co-op carried Fundal, and he does not have records that go back far enough to find out. Fundal, which also contains chlordimeform, was made by the Nor-Am Company which is not a party to the agreement. Robert Horsburgh, with the Virginia Tech’s Winchester Fruit Research Station, said many of their records were disposed of during their recent move into new quarters. He did, however, find an spray guide from 1976 in which “chlordimeform (Fundal, Galecron)” was recommended as a post-blossom spray for the control of red mites on apples. There were six different chemicals recommended for red mite control and chlordimeform was listed fifth of the six, he said. Tommy Williams, a Rappahannock orchardist who works in the pest records branch of a USDA office in Manassas said See Ciba, Page A-8 Flint Hill Rezoning B&B, Kennel Get Nods By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News SUIT Writer The Planning Commission recommended approval for a rezoning for Werner Krebser’s Flint Hill Square from village residential to village commercial and recommended approval for two special use permits at last Wednesday’s meeting. Dr. Krebser sought the rezoning to add 3,600 square feet at the south end of the small shopping center for an expansion for Blueridge Technologies. In 1986 when the commercial development was approved, it did not require a rezoning. It was approved with a special use permit. The 1986 Zoning Ordinance, however, required a rezoning for such a use. The Krebser development was grandfathered under the old ordinance, but could not be expanded without the rezoning. Commission Chairman Mike Massie felt Dr. Krebser had not met all the requirements for a rezoning. Although commission members and members of the Board of Supervisors are not allowed to negotiate proffers with an applicant, he suggested Dr. Krebser should have freely offered proffers to get the rezoning. “We have never approved a rezoning without proffers,” he said. He said the site plan did not meet requirements. He said Dr. Krebser should have also included a statement indicating how the rezoning would fit the county’s Comprehensive Plan. He suggested the matter be tabled until October to allow Dr. Krebser time to meet requirements for a rezoning. Dr. Krebser said that would move construction to November at the earliest and perhaps delay it until spring. However, his frustration eventually led him to agree to the delay. Other members of the commission weren’t willing to go along with that, however. They said he could make a statement at the meeting telling how his development is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. They told him to make changes to the site plan and offer proffers when the rezoning request goes to the Board of Supervisors next week. Dr. Krebser said he had not gone through the whole process because it was an existing commercial use, and he was asking for commercial zoning for something that is already commercial. “You have a building with a commercial use. It does not have commercial zoning,” Mr. Massie said. Dr. Krebser complied with the request for a statement on how the rezoning fits the Comprehensive Plan by saying, “The present Flint Hill center is a commercial use in existence for the last eight years. The Comprehensive Plan visualizes commercial centers in villages. Therefore it is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.” He said Blueridge Technologies, a software firm, rents 4,500 feet of the existing 9,000 square feet and came to him about expanding. He said that he would not build the addition without a 10-year lease with Blueridge Technologies, and in fact, expected Blueridge Technologies to purchase the building during the 10 years. “You have a building with a commercial use. It does not have commercial zoning.” —Mike Massie The addition will be two-story, with a walk out basement in the back, he said. It will be connected to the current building with a loading dock. John Ralph said he lives behind the current Flint Hill Square. “I’m in favor of it being zoned commercial; it should have been done years ago,” he said. “I have found he keeps the place spotlessly clean. It’s very orderly.” However he asked if Dr. Krebser would plant trees for screening like he had on the other section. Dr. Krebser said he planned to do that. \ Phil Irwin as a member of the audience and several members of the commission expressed concern about what might go into the space if Dr. Krebser no longer owns it. When he first got the development approved Dr. Krebser wanted to put in an ABC store. There was opposition to that. The Planners indicated they still do not want an ABC store there. They also suggested Dr. Krebser proffer other uses such as gas stations that would not be allowed. The motion to recommend approval passed 4 to 1 with Mr. Massie voting “No.” The motion noted that the recommendation was contingent on a more complete site plan showSee Planners, Page A-8 Church Being Renovated Fallfest Helps with Funds for Improvements KID': KOKN 1 fls (oiH***>* IX Rappahannock New* Staff Photoa/Cindy Mahan Lauren Morrison found a new stuffed animal at the Amissvilie church’s Fallfest. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Nnra Staff Writer The Amissville United Methodist Church hopes to have its new facelift completed by October 31. A Fallfest was held last weekend to raise money for the renovations being done to the sanctuary, roof and steeple. Co-chairmen of the festival, Margaret Davis and Mary Holmes, said that the renovations also include air-conditioning and new carpet to be added to the sanctuapr. They said that the renovations are being done in such a way that the look of the old is still maintained. W.G. Beals of Warrenton is the contractor on the job. The festival consisted of yard sales, flea markets, book sales and a food concession.^ Besides the usual clothing, toys, and kitchen items found at yard sales, good-sized tree seedlings were also available including magnolia, pecan and chestnut. Books were a bargain at 25 cents each, or five for $1. Silent bids were being accepted for a large dollhouse. As of Monday the winning bidder had not been identified. However, the dollhouse may bring in between $200 to $300. Acconiing to Ms. Holmes, the Fallfest raised over $1,000, and money is still coming in from different sources. The roof and steeple and being replaced this fall.

Since 1984, the program has assisted fiumera across the state in annually saving approximately 2,5 million tons of soil from entering our waterways. In addition, nitrogen and phosphorus, two other leading water pollutants, which come mainly from agricultural runoff and animal ' waste, have been annually reduced by 10.2 million and 2.5 million pounds respectively. The program’s primary goal is to improve water quality by encouraging the voluntary use of agricultural best management practices (BMPs). These BMPs are conservation practices that help reduce nonpoint source (NPS) pollution, or pollution that does not come from a single point such as an industrial drain pipe. NPS pollution originates from many sources. It is now the dominant form of water pollution in the United States and Virginia. More than 60 percent of the pollutants entering Virginia’s water originates from nonpoint sources. The program is managed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and is administered locally by the state’s‘45 soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs). Approximately 900 farmers participate yearly, installing 2,500 BMPs. Funding for the program originates from the EPA and DCR’s operating budget. Over the last JO years, the program has provided $12.5 million in cost-share assistance for the installation of $22.3 million worth of BMPs to help bring all Virginians cleaner water. ; ! Farmers interested in participating in the Virginia Agricultural BMP Cost-Share Program should contact their local sod and water conservation district. *i. ~i Toll Free Calls Win Approval Telephone customers in. the Washington exchange of SprintCentel Virginia and the Culpeper exchange of Bell Atlantic-Virginia will no longer pay toll charges to call one another once local calling is. implemented between the exchanges. Extended local service between the two exchanges will be implemented in December of this year or very early 1995. The State Corporation Commission (SCC) has approved a plan that raises monthly rates for telephone service but eliminates toll charges. Sprint-Centel’8 Washington exchange customers petitioned the SCC for toll-free calling to the Culpeper exchange last fall. A majority of the Washington customers responding to a survey favored paying an additional $4.48 per month for residential, flat-rate service instead of per-call toll charges for calls to the Culpeper exchange. Customers in Bell Atlantic’s Culpeper exchange were given public notice of the plan and expressed no opposition to slightly higher monthly rates for the expanded calling area.

Antique Shop Opens Near Amissville By CINDY MAHAN Bappahuinock New* Staff Writer With her European background, Dutchy Fannon knows her antiques. After closing her shop in Leesburg after 10 years, she opened her new shop, Antiquites de la Duchesse, in Amissville on Sept. 16. 'The shop is located on her family’s property, Duchesse Farm, with road ^frontage on U.S. 211. 1 ■ One of hfer reasons for moving ■ her business from Leesburg was be,Jcause of the strong possibility of Dis'ney coming to the area. She said, “I knew it would be impossible to drive to Leesburg any more.” And being ■ in the county all the time, she looks , forward to spending more time * meeting people here, though she has * been a county resident for 30 years. The shop is set up in a small house, and five rooms of it are filled * with her antiques and her husband Dave’s duck decoys, some dating back to 1880, and mechanical banks. 1 It is an impressive and elegant collection. 3 ' The antiques are mostly European, including Meissen, a blue and __ 'white 18th and 19th century German " porcelain; a collection of netsruke, pronounced “netskay,” tiny exquisitely carved figures of ivory or wood; miniature teapots; 18th and 19th century furniture and decorative items; art glass, and much, more. American items available are an Early American bed; four piece bedroom set with inlaid decorations, including butterflies; and some antique quilts. Mrs. Fannon’s father was Dutch, hence her name, and he later became an American citizen and diplomat. The family spent five years in Europe; three of those in Vienna. This is where she learned so much about art and antiques. Since those days, she has been collecting all sorts of antiques and furniture, though her specialties are the netsuke and miniature teapots. She also does appraisals and estate sales. The antiques in her shop are from both estate sales and her own collection. She said, ‘This is the only answer to a compulsive buyer.” Antiquites de la Duchesse is Open Friday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mrs. Fannon expects the shop to be closed during January and February, at which time it will be open by appointment only. —iilililMHi in 1111 I Ml Dave Fannon’s IHHi carved duck decoys make quite a display. f. ' i. One-Handgun Law Is Misunderstood it * - The one-handgun-per-30-day law ' that went into effect July 1, 1993, is one of several pieces of legislation passed by the 1993 Virginia General ‘'Assembly to strengthen public 'safety. “A year later, we’re finding that some potential gun purchasers still are not aware of this law,” said Col. "M. Wayne Huggins, State Police Superintendent. “In addition, the law frequently is erroneously referred to as the ‘one handgun-a-month-law,’ which has caused some confusion,” he added. The legislation was designed to take direct aim at gunrunners pur' chasing weapons in Virginia with the ’ intention of transporting them ‘ within and without the state for Criminal purposes. The year-old law permits gun buyers to purchase one handgun ev’eTy 30 days. Names of purchasers ' and the date a gun is purchased are recorded in a State Police calendar data base to ensure that 30 full days have elapsed between gun purchases, regardless of where in Virginia the gun in purchased. Gun purchasers should be aware that the day a handgun is purchased is counted as the first day of the 30day interval for the next handgun purchase. If, for example, a person purchased a handgun on Jan. 31, that person would be eligible to buy another handgun on March 2, the day after the 30th day. In this timeframe, the purchaser would not be eligible to buy a handgun in February. Exceptions to the one-handgunpurchase-per-30-days law have been made for estate sales, lawful business of personal use, and for collection series. Multiple handgun purchase application are processed through State Police offices. Virginia is the acknowledged nation’s leader in point-of-purchase firearms sales record checks. Virginia is exempt from the provisions of the Brady Law. Save up to $80.00! Saws starting at just $199— $229 Ttie Snhl 021.

I ■ Board To Hire Librarian By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer The Library Board agreed to an October 12 cutoff for applications for the librarian’s position with ads in the Washington Post last weekend and in the Rappahannock News this week and next. The position will also be advertised in the Northern Virginia Daily and at the University of Maryland and Catholic University, the two closest universities that offer masters degrees in library science. The board hopes to appoint a new librarian by November 1 and have the new librarian work with current librarian Nicki Lynch for two weeks. However, Mrs. Lynch has agreed to stay through the end of November if that is necessary. The board also agreed to pay so Mrs. Lynch can attend the Virginia Library Association meeting in Williamsburg in late October. When Mrs. Lynch announced her resignation Chairman William Young was out of town. She reached him by telephone and the personnel committee met to work on arrangements to bring to last Thrusday’s meeting. There was general agreement that the system had worked as well as it could, but some concern about future resignations. The board approved a motion made by member John McCarthy that in the future all resignations would be referred to the personnel committee for a report to the board. Vice President Mary Jamieson expressed concern that the board’s procedures are becoming too bureaucratic and impersonal. She will discuss her concern with Dr. Young. He reported that shelving for the book sale books in the basement was costing more than anticipated, but he said metal shelves had taken care of most of the problem. The board decided no further changes are needed in financial accounting and agreed to ask the Friends of the Rappahannock Library to take over administration of funds received through the Neighborhood Assistance Act. County Dems Schedule Party The Rappahannock County Democratic Committee’s annual fall party will take place this year at the Oasis vineyard at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 7. Admission will be $15 per person. Everyone is invited to enjoy tasty food, the fine wines of the Oasis vineyard, and the company of fellow Demorats. The Democrats expect to entertain a guest speaker but can’t confirm who it is yet. To get to Oasis vineyard, leave Flint Hill, going towards Chester Gap on U.S. 522.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1994 i ■J Editorial Prisons and Patole After a brief recess to hold hearings around the state the General Assembly is back in Richmond this week to act on Gov. George Allen’s proposals to end parole and build prisons. i If current proposals pass, many of th&se additional prisohs won’t be built without voter approval in a bond referrendum, but some of this additional construction will heenn. ' We need to be certain this is the direction we want Virginia to take. Certainly public anger is justified wheh a prisoner recently released from prison after committing a Violent crime commits another violent crime. We feel in a reasonable system such things would rarely happen. The new system by which juries know of a convicted person’s record before imposing a sentence is a long-needed improvement. So too is the proposed “truth in sentencing” effort by which juries would learn if they impose a 15 year sentence when the convicted person would be eligible for parole. However, we have to wonder whether eliminating the hope of parole permanently might be counter productive. If a prisoner will get out of prison on the same date whatever his prison behavior, he might be far less likely to take part in literacy programs, learn skills for resolving conflicts in a nonviolent way, or get training for life after prison. Such a change might make the state’s prisons far more dangerous places to work. We also wonder why the proposal to eliminate parole for violent criminals also involves redefining violent crime to include burglary and possession of 10 grams or more of cocaine. We are aware that drug use is too frequently associated with violent crime, however, drug possession itself is not violent. Victims of burglary often report feeling “violated.” But, in fact, their property not their persons, has been violated. Will public safety really be served by locking drug users and burglars up for long periods of time with rapists and murderers? Estimates of the cost of the governor’s proposals range from $1 million to more than $2 million. Is this the best use of the state’s limited resources? In recent years the state has cut funding in several areas. In Rappahannock we have been directly affected by cuts to the Extension Service in losing our agricultural agent. It has been many years since the state paid its fair share under its own formula for library services. We have also felt the cuts in funds for higher education when our students take five or more years to get through state universities because required courses aren’t offered, and parents have felt the effects of higher tuition. Although the economy has recovered from the recession, the governor tells the state’s universities to prepare for further cuts. There is no reason to expect extension services, libraries or public schools to fare any better. The state’s budget is still stressed, chiefly because of increasing costs of Medicaid and prisons. A public frightened of losing its health benefits is also frightened of changing the health system which is partly responsible for bankrupting states. Now a public frightened of crime is being asked to fund many more prisons. How about a system that would require violent criminals to serve at least 60 percent of their sentences before being eligible for parole? And let’s continue to restrict the definition of violent crime to crimes of violence against people. Meeting Report Insufficient To the Editor The article regarding the September Washington Town Council meeting did not emphasize two of the most important points discussed at our meeting. 1) There are fifteen appointed members of various boards and commissions for the Town of Washington and thirteen of these members terms have expired, many for an extended period of time. 2) The water construction project is $69,000 in the red. t These two matters were the responsibility of the past Town Council of which I was a member. We did not approve the minutes of the August meeting subject to a review of the tapes of that meeting. Five members of the Council would have* voted to approve the August meeting minutes as written but added the tape review provision to satisfy Mr. Lynch and Mr. Gooch. The August meeting minutes presented to Council at the September meeting for approval were in my opinion correct. Mayor Willis has shown more attention to detail than I have ever witnessed before in town government. This attention to detail will serve the town well as it fills the board and commission vacancies and handles the water project’s red ink. He deserves fair1 and balanced reporting from your paper. NEWBILL MILLER Washington Special Ed Kids Need New Wing To the Editor: I am concerned about the possibility of the K-2 Special Education class being excluded from the wing containing the rest of the K-2 students. I understand that the decision to place two third grade classes in the new wing instead of the age appropriate Special Ed class, is based on the fact, that the room size in the new wing is larger then those in the old building. It is more cost effective to have 25 students in a room that size. There are nine students in the K-2 Special Ed class. How do we equate dollars and square feet to the “Individual Needs” of Special Ed students? Imagine the diversity of needs. Wheel chairs and other theraputic devices need space. Some emotionally disturbed children require physical distance from other children. There are problems with containing hyperactive children that space would remedy. A distraction free comer is nessesary for the attentiondeficit child-there are five such children to provide for. There are several grade levels receiving services in the same room requiring division into appropriate groups. A Special Education class requires more space for fewer students. Its not cost effective; its learning effective. If, after Dr. Gangle reconsiders his decision, the Special Ed K-2 class receives the place in the K-2 wingthere will be no wasted space. KENNETH B. SHANKLE, Sperryville Socialized Health Care Opposed To the Editor: A recent “Opinion” item in the Rappahannock News praised Canada’s socialized health care system and critized opponents as either “monied special interests” or “political idealogues.” Interesting, if not particularly relevant. Not surprisingly, nationalized medicine’s supporters did not mention the key lesson of history: there has not been a single instance over the centuries, after thousands of attempts, of a lasting successful socialist economy: Faced with that, and with recent evidence—the gradual deterioration of every socialized medical system—proponents are reduced to name calling. Do not be misled by the excitement of change. Recall that in their early days recent socialist regimes dre\tfvpraise frojp-'some intellectuals and metfiSr Row refreshing the enthusiasm and dedication of Lenin’s revolutionary Russia! The trains now run on time in Mussolini’s Italy! Everyone is put to work and a renewed pride fills Hitler’s Germany! The Canadian and Clintons’ health care plan do not socialize the entire economy. Both, however, make a major start. Once government’s hands are in control, which would inevitably occur, they can only tighten their grip. The longer that lasts, the worse the results. Recall America’s War on Poverty? Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Writer/Cindy Mahan Morning glories are more welcome in a garden in Washington than in cornfields. Twenty nine years and $5 trillon later poverty is worse. Everyone has lost. ' Don’t be misled by promises to correct imperfections that do exist in our health care. As George Bernard Shaw wrote, “Hell is paved with good intentions, not with bad ones.” Do not accept a cure whose results will be worse than the disease. The Canadian and Clinton systems fit that description. JOHN L. MAROCCHI Sperryville Congress Disappoints To the Editor: ■Having had all the benefits of socialized medicine for more than fifty years as an American military wife, with the latter eleven of these years as a Medicare recipient as well, it saddens me that our Congress, this final Week of this session, didn’t even vote on any health care reform bill. Remembering that Congress has my same benefits and remembering that ours is the only industrialized nation without national health care for every citizen, it is shameful really that all of you “other” Americans cannot have our virtually free medical care. I will send to our own congressional delegation copies of Lee Bird’s superb article in the Sept. 21 Rappahannock. News “Canadian System Supported,” with hope that it will be not only read but pondered and absorbed, to be remebered if, in the next session, Congress tries again. RUTH RICHARD^ Sperryville Wild Flower Planters Thanked To the Editor: We would like to publicly thank the person or organization that planted the beautiful wild flowers in the median on U.S. 211 just west of the Amissville Fire House. We enjoy their wild beauty everytime we travel on 211 to or from our county road 643. They make that portion of the trip a moment to look forward to in the hustle and bustle of our active retired life style. HELEN and HOWARD ZIEMER Amissville North Opposed To the Editor: “Real patriots don’t sell arms to Iran,” lie, deceive Congress, and destroy evidence, “North, MacFarlane, and other sold 2,004 TOW missiles and 18 Hawk missiles to a terrorist nation, at a time when the U.S. was pressuring countries like like South Korea, Italy, and Israel not to sell arms to Iran. The arms sale was a clear violation of federal law as well as a profitable scam,” so says Vivian Kallen, who is a professor of political science. Former Attorney General Marshall Coleman (a Republican) said Oliver North was “a convicted felon” at the Arlington Chamber of Commerce meeting recently. Republican President Ronald Reagan said he did not ask North to lie to Congress. Maybe that’s why so many military officers are organizing against Oliver North, a man they apparently consider to be of little moral character. Professor Kallen further said, “In March, 1988, Oliver North was indicted by a grand jury for conspiring to defraud the United States. In May 1989 he was convicted of three felonies after and eight-week trial.” When the courts have said that Oliver North is a criminal and North’s military superiors believe that he is not qualified, how can we elect him as our next U.S. senator? ARTHUR STANLEY Fairfax Excluding Special Ea Kids Violates State Code To the Editor: I am less then pleased with the schools’ decision not to let the K-2 Special Ed class move with their peers into the new K-2 wing. I feel that this descision is discriminatory. The Code of Virginia, in Chapter nine, The Rights of Person with Disabilities speaks to my concern. In section 5-40 of book 51 Nondiscrimination under state grants and programs, it states: “No otherwise qualified person with a disability shall, on the basis of disability, be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving state finacial assistance or under any program or activity conducted by or on behalf of any state agency. ” Section 5-42 of Book 51 also states “Discrimination against qualified persons with disabilities by Education Institutions prohibited.” This section of Code states that “No public or private” school which receives state funds “shall deny admission to the institution or full and equal access to and enjoyment of any of its educational or extra curricular programs.” \ If the K-2 Special Ed class is not in the K-2 wing it does not have equal access. Most kids in the K-2 special education class spend more then 50 percent of the day in Special Ed not including the walk time back and forth to the “normal” class. How can they possibly eryoy the new wing equally with their peers when they won’t have equal time there? Also, I think it was dispicable for the K-2 Special Ed class to have been overlooked at the planning stage of the new wing. All the K-2 classes were provided for except Special Ed. I am so greatful that there is space left in the new wing to rectify the iiyustness of it all. Please give Special Ed the space.. MARYBETH SHANKLE Sperryville Disney Supporter Is Seller s To the Editor: There have been several front" page articles throughout Northern Virginia about Disney exhuberence i over the Prince William County Planning Commission seven to one decision for the Disney Urban Development. As Chris Miller of PE£ noted, “It came as no surprise to opponents of the project,” just as the Prince William County Board of Supervisors’ forthcoming approval is considered a “done deal.” The stories using Henry Merkli as a typical Disney Corporation supporter from Haymarket being “red faced and wide eyed” and shouting “we won, we won, etc.” are extremely misleading. Since the Merkli family own^ Silver Lake a 318-acre property in the middle of the Disney site and has a contract to sell it to Disney for $4.5 million if the project is approved, one can understand Merkli’s exhuberance. Silver Lake Associates of which Merkli is a general partner is a signator on the Disney Corporation rezoning application. Certainly no citizen of the area has been more faithful than Henry in attending every meeting about the Disney Corporation and expressing his undying support. Of course, as in the case of all other Disney Corporation supporters, what’s in it for him is not mentioned. LAWRENCE A, HEANEY Haymarket / I say ,Holmes, what's missing in children today? I Elementary, my dear Watson. Good character traits, respect for rules and property and desire for excellence.

/ , Alternative to Prisons Needed / : By DOW CHAMBERLAIN Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer During the last gubernatorial contest, crime and education were identified as the top two concerns of voters. Little has been said about education since the election, but the crime issue has moved front and center. Why crime has emerged as the number one issue now is difficult to understand. Despite a few urban, hot pockets of crime, Virginia remains a relatively low crime state. We all want protection from violent criminals, but the fact is Virginia already spends 91 percent more per capita for persons under criminal justice control than the national average. The state’s prison population has nearly doubled in the last ten years. • The governor’s proposal would divert a staggering additional amount of money into the prison system, money that Virginia will have to pay when the present administration is no longer in office. In addition to practically bankrupting the state, this strategy would actually make us less safe from violent crime. The new plan further blurs the critical distinction between violent offenses (such as murder, rape, robbery, child molestation) for which sentences should indeed be stiffer to protect the public safety; and non-violent offenses (such as crimes against property and drug use) for which alternative sentencing would be both much more cost effective and more effective in reducing recidivism. If little distinction is made between the methods used to control violent and non-violent offenders, the result is a corrections system which is a) prohibitively expensive, b) overcrowded and unsafe, and c) is pressured to release prisoners early, some of whom are the violent offenders everyone agrees should serve longer sentences. Half of the 23,000 prisoners in Virginia are in the nonviolent category. •The governor now proposes to redefine violent offenses in a way rejected by America’s founders and criminal justice experts for the last 300 years. He recommends that burglary from a building or possession of 10 grams of cocaine—both property crimes rather than crimes against persons—should now be classified as violent crimes. If this radical propsal is adopted the cost of prisons will skyrocket on the one hand and the public will be endangered on the other. Burglars would have an incentive to carry weapons and to use those weapons. Official estimates are that the governor’s recommendations (known as Proposal X) to abolish parole and lengthen sentences will cost $850 million over the next ten years for new prison construction. Operating costs will have to be increased by $350-400 million per year to support 52,064 prison beds, an increase of 30,000. Independent budget analysts suggest that the actual cost will be closer to $2 billion for construction. That money must come from somewhere, since the governor is opposed to any tax increase. Is the money going to come from education? From colleges and universities? From local law enforcement? From programs which have a track record of preventing crime? If we are going to spend all this money on corrections, we had better be certain it is effective, because there won’t be any money to do anything else. What happens if we spend all this money, and Virginia’s experience is similar to California, which has tripled prison capacity with no significant crime reduction? Or Florida? Prison over-crowding forces early release merely to reduce prison population, thereby reducing public safety. There is an alternative to the governor’s proposal that would both save money and reduce crime. We should expand the Community Diversions Incentive Program for nonviolent offenders that has been operating since 1980. Community-based treatment accepts the premise that crime is a community problem that cannot be ameliorated by removing the offender from the community and treating his problems in an artificial environment. Communities must accept the responsibility to treat their own non-violent offenders rather than expect others to take their problems of their hands. The non-violent offender must remain in the community where he learned to do wrong and in that same community learn to do what is right. It is pointless to succeed in prison only to return to the community to fail again. Community-based treatment for the non-violent offender offers the advantage of maintaining employment, paying restitution for property damage or loss, offsetting the cost of treatment, and eliminating public welfare for dependents. Holding a job and paying taxes makes a lot more sense that being warehoused at public expense for $16,000 to $20,000 a year. The choice is clear: Virginia can create more community-based programs so non-violent offenders can pay the penalty for their crimes by working a real job to support themselves and made restitution to their victims; or, we can abolish parole, lengthen sentences and radically redefine violent crime. A win-win opportunity exists in programs for non-violent offenders, and put violent criminals in prison. The result is improved public safety and control over the soaring corrections budget.'

County Planners Endorse Sludge Ban By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of the Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend the Board of Supervisors adopt the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance banning the land application of sludge in all zoning categories. Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser was the only member who voted against the ban. He said there is “no evidence” land application of sludge in Fauquier County has had “health consequences.” He noted that the schools, Sperryville and the Aileen plant produce sludge and said Washington will have to have a plant soon. He said the planners had approved a general commercial area “where we know the soils don’t perk...Ultimately we will need a sewer system in that area. What happens if adjacent counties will not accept septage from Rappahannock County?” he asked. “We have the B&B businesses because of the farmers here. It’s undermining the farmer not to allow him to farm in the way he sees as feasible.” Stonewall-Hawthom representative Sharon Pierce said, “My bottom line is discomfort with the testing and monitoring process at the state and federal levels. The people who suggest this should not be passed should direct their efforts to tightening up the process.” She said the planners and supervisors did not represent themselves as experts, but in a democracy it is important for ordinary citizens to be involved. Later she said that those areas of govememtn that have been turned over to experts are the least healthy parts of our democracy. Sid Gottlieb, who represents the Board of Zoning Appeals on the Planning Commission, said he had changed his mind on the issue. He voted against the original sludge ban he said, “For what I thought were good reasons. I don’t like to see people get pushed around unless it is absolutely necessary.” He said he was also uncomfortable with a total ban on one agricultural process when other potentially hazardous agricultural processes are allowed. He said he has a background in chemistry and soils but in reviewing the stack of literature assembled by County Administrator John McCarthy “I realized the question is not black and white but different shades of grey.” He said what convinced him was the small acreage that could qualify for sludge against “unprovem indications there were some hazards. The emphasis in the county is protecting its pristineness. It’s better to edge that way.” f Later he said he would feel differently if the sludge was produced in Rappahannock County, but in fact the sludge that would come to Rappahannock County without the ban would come from the Blue Plains treatment plant in Washington, D.C. “It’s not the human excrement that bothers me; it’s sludge produced in an urban environment,” he said. Piedmont District representative Tom Junk said he was concerned about allowing a substance to be put on the land that is “banned from the ocean and banned from unlined landfills. Probably the safest way (to dispose of it) is incineration,” he said. “I realize fanners need a boost, but they pay for fertilizer. If the stuff is so good they would be lined up at Blue Plains to pay for it. With our own sludge it might be a differeent thing. I’m for the adoption of the ordinance.” Jackson pistrict representative David Fannon said most of what he wanted to say had already been said. “Ten years from now I’ll feel better having voted against sludge. I’m for the ban,” he said. Chairman Mike Massie, who represents the Board of Supervisors on the Planning Commission, noted that a 1987 study showed Blue Plains planned to incinerate half the sludge and compost the rest. “Why aren’t they burning?” he asked. “Someone threw out the idea the residents of Old Town Alexandria didn’t want the smoke, so they send the sludge out to a rural area.” He said he had seen sludge being spread on a farm in Loudoun area and was impressed with the care Bio-Gro took to follow guidelines. “They stayed away from rocks, creeks and water courses,” he said. However, he added, “We cannot rely to the EPA to protect the environment.” He said he was' concerned about lead in sludge and also iron. He said that he was also concerned about viruses. Sunlight, lime and anaerobic digestion “kills some but doesn’t kill all.” He said that viruses could get into well water, and normally well water is not tested for viruses. “It’s like saying what you don’t know won’t hurt you,” he said. He noted that experts had questioned whether the planners and supervisors were qualified to judge the issue. “It’s the experts job to say what the risks are. Our job is to determine how much risk the people of Rappahannock are willing to take,” he said. Ms. Pierce made the motion to adopt the amendment, and Mr. Junk seconded it.

OK By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Opponents continued their assault on the Disney’s America theme park this week, days after Prince William County’s Planning Commiskion voted 7-1 to recommend approval of the giant development. The planners were near-unanimous in their praise for the Walt Disney Co.’s plan in comments before the Sept. 21 vote. Only Richard H. Hefter, who represents Gainesl ville District, where the park will be located, voted against the project. The Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning were passed 7-1, as were special use permits for hotels and short-term lodging and campgrounds. Commissioner E. Bruce Holley, Neabsco District, joined Hefter in voting against approval of the special use permit for fireworks, laser light shows, Civil War reenactments and airshows. Hefter recalled that, in 1990, the county reviewed its Comprehensive Plan to ensure that residents’ sentiments would be included in deliberations about development. Despite that promise, development since has continued “willy-nilly,” he said, and Disney is merely the latest and largest example. “This is not an area that was ever planned for this type of development.” The project is “a colossal planning blunder.” And, he added, “I’m not sure that a theme park and related! businesses are compatible with this county.” Hefter’s concerns, however, were lost in the chorus of support for JDisney from his fellow commissioners.

One Low Price Plain and Simple 11 Lee Highway East • Warrenton, Virginia 703-347-9000 • 800-852-5793 said the only way to shift the tax burden off homeowners is economic development, “and we have done that by attracting one of the best companies in America.” Ron L. Llewellyn, of Dumfries, called the approval “a giant step in the right direction.” Commission chairman Gregory J. Gorgone admitted that, on balance more issues were decided in Disney’s favor, “but it was a negotiating process, and we did the best we could.” On several issues of health, safety and welfare, “especially annexation,” the county’s residents were protected, Gorgone said. Gorgone also called Disney’s agreement to a one-year review of its special use permit for fireworks “a victory,” although the county conceded its original goal for a one-year renewal of the permit, which might have allowed it to be revoked. Clearly disappointed by the planners’ near-unanimous recommendation, PROTECT PW charged this week that Disney’s project will “impose massive additional taxpayer costs” for the government services demanded by the seasonal, lowwage workers the park will employ. PROTECT’S president Tony Urso, an airline mechanic who works at Dulles Airport, said “Certainly it would be ideal if I could work in the county, but the type of job that Disney will offer will not keep me or my fellow Prince William commuters close to home.” Noting that the commissioners rejected an amendment to request comment on the project from the other members of the Northern Virginia Planning District Commission, Piedmont Environmental Council spokesman Chris Miller said “Prince William doesn’t want to think about this project. Not only are they not doing the recommended studies, they are trying to forestall others from doing it, to not consider the regional impacts.” During a lengthy and sometimes testy review of the final proffers submitted by Disney only hours before the Planning Commission meeting, director of development Dana Nottingham sparred with the planners over the length of time Disney would agree not to seek annexation of its property. Prince William officials were concerned that a move by Disney to annex the property would deprive the county of any control of its uses, as well as the tax revenues from the park. ‘This is a key, key issue for us,” Milligan said. They asked for a 50-year no annexation agreement, a period Nottingham dismissed as “unacceptable.” Though Nottingham said he had recommended a 30-year pledge to his managers, “If this is the last issue to put this to bed, we will agree to 40 years from the opening of the park.” A compromise was also reached on traffic counts to monitor vehicle trips. Disney proffered one each month, but the county objected that counts taken during the two months the park is closed would skew the numbers downward. Disney agreed to 10 counts, exempting winter months when the park is closed. , „ After the vote, Nottingham said he was satisfied with the “give and take” that resulted in the commission’s recommendation. “We’ll homjr our commitments'. We’re ready to move forward.” The Board of Supervisors has scheduled its public hearing on the Disney plan for 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, at Stonewall Jackson High School. If a recess is necessary, the hearing will be continued Oct. 18 at the McCoart Government Center. However, all speakers must sign up at the Oct. 15 hearing. AFT Seeks To Save Farmland v. - American Farmland Trust announced a major, nationwide effort to generate greater support and public recognition for the need to protect the country’s best and most productive farmland from development and adverse environmental impacts. AFT is a national farmland conservation group based in Washington. Formally titled “The Campaign For America’s Farmland,” AFT’s drive was announced a special dinner Saturday evening for approximately 150 guests at the historic Decatur House in Washington. Five prominent chefs from the country’s mid-Atlantic region created the menu for the evening with food and wine supplied by area farmers and wine producers. The chefs became involved to underscore their commitment to farmland protection and demonstrate the important connection between food and the nation’s fertile, but increasingly threatened agricultural base. At the dinner, the private nonprofit membership group told supporters that under the motto of “Help Us Save The Land That Feeds America,” it is undertaking the unprecedented Campaign in response to what it termed the growing threat to the nation’s farmland. Close to 1.5 million acres of productive farmland, or some three acres a minute, are now being lost to nonfarm development along with the associated food and fiber production, wildlife habitat, hunting and fishing opportunities, wetlands and scenic open space. AFT said thousands of acres of unique and irreplaceable farmland are being converted anRecycling is gooabusiness foreveryone. nually. Two billion tons of topsoil are being lost each year to wind and water erosion. In announcing the Campaign, AFT President Ralph E. Grossi said the nation msut take steps to recognize and protect its strategic farmland before it is too late. “Recent reports reflect the food production challenges we will face as our population doubles by the year 2050,” said Grossi, a third-generation farmer from northern California. “One such report indicates that the world’s farmers will be asked to produce as much food in the next 40 years as they have in the entire 14,000-year history of agricultural production, and that the acreage of productive farmland simply cannot keep pace with the expanding population. “Since 1980, we have shown there are realistic, workable ways to conserve our best farmland and all that it represents to our way of life. To ensure that new farmer-friendly conservation programs are developed and supported, we must increase public awareness of this particularly important issue and expand our policy research efforts. And to ensure AFT’s continued ability to provide strong leadership, we must strengthen our resources through The Campaign-for America Farmland.’” AFT announced a Campaign fund-raising target of $38 million. Of that, $21 million would got to ensuring AFT has the necessary capital to intervene and protect threatened farmland; $15 million would be directed to policy-making, communications, membership and technical education initiatives; and $2 million would endow a fund to conduct policy-related studies and expand AFT’s computer-based information systems at its Center for Agriculture in the Environment in DeKalb, IU. The dinner kicking off the Campaign highlighted the regional vari ety and specialization of agriculutre and culinary traditions of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Maryland’s Eastern Shore. As the starting point for the menus, the chefs—Patrick Clark of the Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington, Larry Forgions of An American Place in New York, Jack McDavid of Jack’s Firehouse Restaurant in Philadelphia, Patrick O’Connell of the Inn at Little Washington and Nora Pouillon of Restaurant Nora in Washington—incorporated a wide range qf traditions and specialties, from early native foods to contemporary oysters, crabmeat, smoked meats, lamb, corn and a great variety df fruits and vegetables. Recognizing the value and significance of America’s regional agricultural production—especially in areas that border the region’s metropolitan areas. AFT asked area producers and wineries to furnish foods and wines for the reception and dinner. < Founded in 1980, AFT is the only national organization working solely to protect the nation’s agricultural resources. Its mission is to stop the loss of productive farmland and to promote farming practices that lead to a healthy environment. In policy, AFT has worked closely with officials to create improved farmland protection politices at the federal, state and local levels. It has acquired a reputation as a source of sound expertise and shaped and mobilized support for agricultrual conservation programs. It has directly pro^ tected some 45,000 acres of productive farmland and helped individuals, private organizations and public agencies save hundreds of thousands of acres more. It has also conducted a vigorous public education and media relations program to increase public awareness of agricultural conservation issues. AFT has 30 staff members in seven locations throughout the nation, an annual budget of $3 million and a membership of more than 20,000.

Kumli Log House on Tour There have been two builders of the log house on the Kummli farm. The first was Jacob Hittle, the Revolutionary War veteran who first built the house as a tavern in 1790, and the second Alfred Kummli, who marked each log and moved it log by log to its present location just a few years ago. After the Revoluation, Jacob Hittle, a son of a German immigrant, settled by the stream, now call Hittle’s Run, to establish a mill and tavern. Although, Jacob had several children, it is thought that non remained in the area and the property passed our of the family’s hands. During the Civil War, it was the home, and most likely the shop of sa seamstress. When Mr. Kummli took the house apart, he found a small ledger and several thimbles that had fallen through the cracks. Mr. Kummli found other things; and old arrowhead, hand made nails, and marbles. He had kept these artifacts with the old house. Mr. Kummli judges that the house was built in 1790 as no horsehair was used in the mortar between the logs; after that time horsehair was used. Every possible part of the original house has been preserved and used. When the main beam was / found to be unusuable. Mr. Kummli made part of it into a mantel. In Colorado, an old demolished hotel provided ancient Virginia heart pine. This wood is seen in the wrap around dining room as well as kitchen cabinets and some of the furniture in the house. The roof was lifted to make room for insulation, one bedroon and bath, the kitchen and a laundry room. Mr. Kummli is planning to add an entry way. The log house is one of three includes in the 38th annual Episcopal Church Women of Bromfield Parish House Toum and Dried Flower Sale Oct. 15 and 16. Hours of the tour are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. For further information call 987-8183 or 675-3694.

With a lot less emotion the planners voted to recommend approval for a special use permit for a bed and breakfast business for Jane and Todd Burdick. There will be three rooms for rent. There will be no additions to the building for tjhe B & B. Newbill Miller said he could find no reason to oppose the application other than his wish that Dr. Burdick continue to practice veterinary medicine rather than go into the hospitality business. Phil Irwin said that he felt the Burdicks would be good hosts. He, added he hoped they would support the local B & B industry in its efforts to increase use of the county’s B & Bs. The application was approved unanimously. The planners also recommended approval for a special use permit for Kathy Bare to operate a boarding kennel limited to 10 dogs.

Robert Bridges came before the planning commission on his bed and breakfast operation. It was approved two years ago with the provision that it be reviewed at the end of two years. It was approved as a tourist home rather than a bed and breakfast because he said at that time his customers would have breakfast at the Bleu Rock Inn and he would not be serving breakfast. At the meeting he asked to have the special use permit altered to allow him and his wife to serve a continental breakfast. He said they still do not plan to cook meals. He said he and his wife had eiyoyed meeting people from around the world through their business. The planners removed the restriction from the permit, i S At Country Chevrolet • Geo you'll find Everything you want in a vehicle. i 1995 Chevy Blazer A 1995 Chevy Camaro 1995 Chevy Lumina 1995 Chevy Beretta I I VKl >111 Cil NIIINI C I Your I iomctown C .’hcvy Dealer.

Liz White, manager of Green Inc. a large dealer in agricultural chemicals in Winchester, said her company normally carries pesticides recommended by Virginia Tech but she has no way to determine if they carried Galecron or Fundal in the n 19708. She said the firm is not a distributor of Ciba products, “but we might have purchased it from another agent.” In the class action suit attorneys for workers exposed to Galecron claim it causes increased risk of bladder cancer. Health studies conducted on production workers exposed to Galecron in Louisiana and Alabama show “this exposure may be assiciated with an increased incidence of bladder cancer,” according to a press release sent out by Ciba after the settlement was reached. However, the settlemeht does not assign liability or wrongdoing to Ciba. Under the settlement terms Writers' Guild Meeting Set' The Shenandoah Valley Writers’ Guild will meet on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at the Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown in room 6. The group meets at 12:30 p.m. for a social time and convenes at 12:50 p.m. The speaker is Bryanne Miller writer and artist. She is the author of Dignified Departure. Her book was inspired by the tragic death of her father whose Virginia living will was not honored in Florida. She will emphasize researching and publishing for success. All programs are free and open to the public and the facilities are handicapped accessible. workers exposed to Galecron are eli-T gible for health screening including a 14-day at-home test to detect blood in urine, an early indicator of bladder disease. They are also eligible for treatment costs and potential compensation. According to information provided by Ciba, the company will cover the cost of the health screening and treatment “on an as-needed basis. In addition, the settlement provides up to $45 million for compensation and various expenses. Ciba has set aside cash reserves to help fund the settlement and expects insurance to cover the settlement cost.” i | The Writer's Art ■ ' ■ ‘ • I Its and It's Cause Confusion By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Universal Press What is the most frequently misspelled word in English? Angela Williams, director of the Writing Center at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., has nominated a word that has only three letters. I second the nomination. The word is “its,” or in the alternative, “it’s.” Why can’t people get this straight? Such a little word! “It’s,” with the apostrophe “s,” has only one meaning: It is. IT’S a contraction: IT’S time to feed to dog. IT’S not nice to burp at dinner. , By contrast, “its,” without the apostrophe, - indicates possession: Every dog has ITS day, the car lay on ITS side, the Republican Party has ITS eye on the Senate. Nothing could be simpler, yet confusion reigns at levels high and low. I was reading the Constitution the other day, and this was not just any old reprinting of the Constitution. This was the official Bicentennial Edition, published by the Government Printing Office as a House document in 1987. And what should my unbelieving eyes behold? Right there toward the end of Article I was this provision: “No State shall...lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing IT’S inspection laws.” IT’S? Aaargh! Think of it! Turn pale! Fumble for words! Send the children to their rooms! The same incredible spelling also appears in The Constitution of the United States of America, revised and annotated, published by the Superintendent of Documents in 1982. Plain as day: “IT’S inspection laws.” I checked every copy of the Constitution in the office. The World Book and The World Almanac have it right: “ITS inspection laws.” In Jeffrey St. John’s “Constitutional Journal,” the line appears properly as ITS. But in the Oxford Companion to the Surpreme Court, one finds “IT’S inspection laws.” Same thing in the Guide to the U.S. Supreme Court, published by Congressional Quarterly. How could this be? The Founding Fathers who met at Philadelphia in 1787 were the most learned men in the fledgling U.S.A.- They knew their punctuation. They argued over whether the general welfare clause should have a comma or a semicolon. The possessive “its” appears four other times in the Constitution, and each time it is spelled correctly. Well! The whole business is shocking. Shocking! But to move from the sublime: In the comic strip “Wizard of Id” we find the king complaining, “Every country has a day celebrating it’s founding father.” Wrong! A cartoon in New York Newsday has a half-frozen citizen saying, “Oh, look—spring is on it’s way.” Noway! Last month a federal judge in California removed a small bird, the California gnatcatcher, from the protected list. Said a conservationist in The New York Time, “Without it’s listing as a threatened species, it’s going to be business as usual for the developers.” Come now, New York Times! One way to get it right is to re member that the apostrophe in “it’s” means “is.” The Times never would have said, “Without it is listing.” Heaven forfend! * The pesky apostrophe gives trouble in other ways. The Pittsburg Post-Gazette carried an article in December about sex and violence on videocassettes available to children. The author had a modest proposal: “All video game inventors must use the faces of their own children on their characters. If they don’t have children, they must use the faces of their boss’s children, or their boss’ boss’ children.” It should have been “boss’s” every time. « A Mexican restaurant in Florida had a special last month: “Mother’s receive free carnation and glass of champagne!” How did that apostrophe get into “mothers”? Brian D. Smith of Indianapolis writes to challenge a familiar word for an angry uproar. Random House and Merriam-Webster spell it “hornet’s nest”; American Heritage spells it “hornets’ next.” The metaphor dates from 1740. Let’s hear it for American Heritage! More than one hornet lives in a hornets’ nest. Grey LaPrade of Mount Airy, N.C., sends along an ad from a clothing store offering special discounts on “ladie’s dresses, ladie’s shoes, girl’s hats, and boy’s dress shirts.” Let this kind word be said for the copywriter. He or she got it wrong every time: A for consistency, F for spelling.

- 'J Community News Obituaries Real Estate Classifieds Rappahannock News WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1994 Child Care Center Gets Log Playhouse Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Neal Shoemaker and Chris Bird make mortises in a log. o I II Laura Keller, Owen Monroe, Elaine Sims and Ashley Vest “have lunch*’ in the new log cabin. < ' By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer When Rose Ann Sharp saw a little log cabin in the Virginia Discovery Museum in Charlottesville, she said, “We have got to have one of these for CCLC. Somehow, I will come up with the money to do this.” That determination has paid off, and a one room log cabin, made by Chris Bird and Neal Shoemaker, was installed in the main room of the Child Care and Learning Center last Saturday. When they arrived at CCLC Monday morning, the children were delighted with their new cabin, and immediately moved furniture and other items in to make it their own little home. Ozzie Pace donated the oak and poplar trestle table and benches that now sit in the center of the cabin. Mrs. Sharp said the cabin is being used as a housekeeping area for the children. It encourages role playing, she said, and they can practice playing adults. There is also a kitchen set up along one side of the cabin. The cabin was paid for with $700 from the late Aubrey Keyser, a grant from the Virginia Council on Child Day Care, and Dick Bull, a board member of CCLC, who mule up the difference. Mrs. Sharp filled out the grant application for quality enhancement funds, which also helped to pay for a reading loft, stage area, and costume area. She said “We are turning our community room into a classroom.” Mr. Bird and Mr. Shoemaker began building the log cabin in a barn on Mr. Bird’s property about two months ago. “It was a rainy day project,” said Mr. Bird. The oak logs were salvaged from an old bam and cut to size. The two carpenters used power tools, such as a Foerster drill bit, and hand tools, such as chisels, to make the tenons and mortises to hold the logs together. After starting a hole with i the drill to form the mortise (the hole in the log into which the tenon fits), a chisel was used to get the exact size needed. The logs were built up from the floor, with the back side of the cabin being the actual wall of the bam. At CCLC, the wall of the building is the fourth wall of the cabin. The cabin is open on top and has a door and a window. It has no chinking, to allow more ligty into the cabin and to allow the children to be seen at all times. Mr. Bird and Mr. Shoemaker completed the construction of the l ■■ 1 - ■. cabin last Friday, disassembled it on Saturday morning, and then delivered it to CCLC that same morning. Once the logs were unloaded from the truck, it took less than an hour to reconstruct in the main room. To help facilitate the reconstruction, each piece had been numbered during disassembly. After the framework was put up, measurements were made to make sure the cabin would be squared off. The more logs added to the cabin, the more jiggling, or hammering, had to be done to make sure every piece sat just right. The longer logs, on the front of the cabin, each weigh approximately 150 pounds, and the longest one on top probably weighs about 300 pounds, said Mr. Bird. He and Mr. Shoemaker lifted that enormous weight. / The cabin is very solid, and it is built completely of wood with no nails or other hardware to hold it together. Standing back and admiring his and Mr. Bird’s handiwork, Mr. Shoemaker said, “I wish I had stuff like that when I was a kid.” i ! Chris Bird chisels a tenon to make it fit while Neal Shoemaker watches. .1 Missionaries Explain Their Work to County Baptists By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer After John Enos had been teaching industrial arts in high school for several years he felt called to do something different. He applied for and was accepted as a foreign missionary for the Southern Baptist Convention. He was sent to Gambia, a tiny country on the west coast of Africa. The country is predominantly Muslim and most Gambians have no idea what a Southern Baptist is. They have heard that Christian crusaders fought to throw Muslims out of the Holy Land, but they don’t know one protestant denomination from another, he explained. For the past week he has been visiting Southern Baptist churches in this part of Virginia as part of a World Mission Conference talking about Gambia and his work there. He has been joined by many other missionaries, some returning from foreign countries, some from missionary work in this country. The Shiloh Baptist Association, with 31 churches in the counties of Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Orange, sponsored the conference, and the missionaries spent the past week visiting with different groups explaining what they do and answering questions. Many, like Mr. Enos, will be returning to their missions. Others are retiring. For all of them, explaining at home what they are doing in the field is part of what they were called to do. They explain that they are in the missionary field because of missionaries who visited their home churches. Perhaps future missionaries in the churches of the Shiloh Association will go out because of their visits. They report people are very interested in learning what they do. Mr. Enos is director of the Baptist Community Center just outside Gambia’s capital of Banjul. Missionaries must have skills in order to get a work permit to come into the country, he said. The Baptist Center offers dental clinics, public health workers, literacy training, opportunities for young people to engage in sports, and Mr. Enos, himself recruits local women to teach others batik and tye dying, so they will have products to sell to increase the revenue in their homes. He said he has not encountered animosity from Muslim leaders, and the men can see the advantage of their women learning these skills, while the women are attracted because of the opportunity to get to gether socially. Mr. Enos is also involved in the sports program. “Sports is a way of meeting people to earn the right to be witnessing to them," he said. Sam Waldron spent 21 years in the Phillippines, most of them in very rural parts of the island of Mindanao, but for the last seven years he was in the capital of Manilla working as an administrator. His original mission was to establish “You take advantage of those opportunities when you see them, but that’s not why you’re there.” —Sam Waldron sv Baptist churches on Mindanao, and 55 churches resulted from his efforts. About 50 percent of his time was spent establishing churches, about 25 percent training Filipino leaders to establish churches and about 25 percent in such other work as keeping the mission truck going, he said. His children were in second and third grade when he and his wife first went to the Phillippines, he explained. The first year they attended day school in Manilla while he learned the local dialect most common where he would be going. Once they got to Mindanao, his wife home schooled the children, he said. In high school they attended a boarding school in Manilla. “They have done well,” he said.' He said the people of the Phillippines are about 85 percent nominally Catholic, “but in the rural areas away from the strong Catholic cities, the Catholicism is watered down and mixed up with superstitions/** He said he found the Catholic backgrounds of the people he met helpful, however, because “they have heard about the Bible, they have heard about Jusus, and they’re open to the gospel. ”He said the Southern Baptists have two seminaries in the Phillippines, but once people come in and get training there, they don’t want to return to their rural villages, “They want to pastor a city church,” he said. So much of his work was training local people without sending them into the cities. One of his local leaders was “Brother Ongy, a fanner with a third-grade education. He came to our clinics, brought some of his young people, and they started six churches,” Mr. Waldron reported. Natural disasters, so common to the Phillippines, offer special opportunities, he said. An area that had been closed to the Baptist missionaries experienced a fire, “that almost wiped out the whole area," he said. “My wife got into the truck, drove two and a half hours to visit the site, surveyed the situation” and arranged to have canned milk and dried fish brought in, he said. “They saw the compassion the Baptists had before the Red Cross or their government got there,” and after that the area was welcoming to the Baptist missionaries. “You take advantage of those opportunities when you see them, but that’s not why you’re there,” he said. Linda Boswell has been in Peru since 1969. Her husband is a missionary there also. Their mission was to try to establish a model Baptist Church in Lima. They started with eight people. The church now has 46 members. Her husband is a weight lifter. He set up a gym that attracted young people. Seventy percent of Peru’s population is young, she explained. “I work with the women,” she said. “In the ’Better Life Center* we FCT To Present Fairy Tales Fauquier Community Theatre will present a high-spirited, colorful production of Steven Sondheim’s adaptation of fairy tales, “Into the Woods.” This thought-provbking comedy is filled with wonderful songs which parody familiar childhood fairy tales. The cast includes some of FCTs favorite veterans as well as some wonderfully talented actors from the Fredericksburg community. Show dates are October 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29. Seating is limited. Tickets are available at the New Leaf Bookstore and BJ’s Books in Warrenton. Performances begin at 8 p.m. at the loft in Warrenton.

They come to see what type of person you are and receive food based on punctuality and attendance. You use everything you are and everything you have. You become absorbed.” The three agreed that their children and their toys became a way of winning people. Children came to play with the missionaries’ children and their toys and then the parents became interested. Mrs. Boswell said the center also offered medical help once a week and psychological counselling. “It’s a ministry to the total person,” she said. The cars and trucks they have are also vital to the ministry, they explained. Mrs. Boswell said her Nissan double-cab pickup truck is a “counselling center, taxi, and moving van.” She said her children loved Peru and as a result of their experiences are comfortable in either country and with poor people or rich people. One son is planning to become a missionary. Darwin Sokoken is a native Filipino who was sent out by the Home Missions Board to pastor the Phillippine community in Chicago. He said many Filipino nurses and medical workers came to the Chicago area in 1968. They were recruited by the government to work in the large public Cook County Hospital. The nurses could make 10 times as much money in Chicago as they could at home. They became naturalized citizens and petitioned to have their relatives brought here. Now there are 100,000 Filipinos in the Chicago area, he said. He had worked as the editor of an evangelical newspaper in Manilla and came to the United States to study urban ministry. When he was finished his studies and preparing to return home, the Home Mission Board recruited him to go to Chicago. He heads the only Filipino Southern Baptist Church in Chicago, but more ministers have been recruited and the Chicago Fellowship SBC has set the goal of planting 10 more Filipino churches in the next five years. They have started a Bible school affiliated with the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. His congregation shares a church with a white Southern Baptist congretation. “It’s a nice partnership,” he said. “They’re very supportive of what we are doing.” Hugh McKinley is nearing retire ment after many years in Zimbabwe, the country just to the north of South Africa. He spent his mission years as the principal of the Baptist Theological Seminary of Zimbabwe in Gweru. The students come from five nations, he said. The school offers dormitories for unmarried students and duplex cottages for married students. Some of the students have only an elementary school education. Others are high school graduates. The seminary offers classes for wives of students and elementary education for the children. Mr. McKinley said many of his students who serve small rural congregations will have to support themselves as farmers. Those who go to churches in cities may receive a salary large enough to live on. On weekends he worked on starting churches in rural areas. One of his daughters is married and working as a missionary in Botswana. He said he will probably return to the area as a volunteer and to visit his grandchildren. They said the Conference has been a welcome change from their normal work. Mr. Sokoken said, “We’ve received a very warm response. It’s important to show we’re bringing people to Christ and to get them to pray for us and our ministries.” He said the mountains of the area remind him of the mountains around his village. Mr. McKinley said Zimbabwe is very dry. “To see all the trees and grass, it’s therapeutic for me. To be able to go out and pick apples, it’s wonderful!” Rappahannock News Staff PhotovSharon Kilpatrick John Enos, Linda Boswell and Sam Waldron visit in the Rappahannock News Office.

September Is Honey Month ' By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economic* The newsletter from the Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association arrived just in time to give me a topic for this last September nutrition column. The Association was reminding folks that the September meeting of the Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 29 at the Culpeper Extension Office. The program on Hive Preparations for Winter will be presented by Bob Thomas, Virginia Agricultural Inspector. ' In their newsletter, they also noted that September is National Honey Month! What Are You Going To Do To Celebrate? •You could bake something with • honey. •You could give a jar of honey to a neighbor, or to your mailman, or to your doctor, or to your Extension Agent. •You could put some on toast, English muffin, hot cereal, waffles, or pancakes for a breakfast treat. •You could drizzle over fresh fruit, ice cream, or mix with whipped cream to top gelatin desserts, spice cakes or gingerbread. •You could blend honey in equal amounts with butter, peanut butter, or apple butter as a spread for toast or other breads. •You could mix with equal amount of water for liquid sweet• ener. Keep refrigerated and use to sweeten hot milk drinks, tea, lemonade, eggnog, etc. •You could thank, the bees for a good 1994 honey harvest and go pur HOME ECONOMICS chase some fresh Virginia honey from one of our local orchards, roadside stands, or local markets. Honey Facts •Never store hoifcy in the refrigerator. •Honey can be stored (for longterm) in a freezer. •Crystallized or granualted honey is NOT spoiled (you’d be surprised how many people throw out granulated honey). •A one-pound jar contains 1-1/4 cups honey. » *A 12-ounce squeeze bear contains 1 cup. Cooking With Honey We all know how delicious honey tastes served on hot buttered toast, pancakes, waffles, muffins, and biscuits. Honey can also be used as a substitute for all or part of the sugar ih many cooked or baked products. One cup of honey is equal to l-J/4 cups sugar.

Since honey is more acidic than sugar, add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey. Honey averages 64 calories per tablespoon. When baking with honey, bake at a temperature 25 degrees lower than the recipe calls for. Many use honey in baking due to the extra moistness added to cakes and breads. This added moistness prolongs the shelflife of these baked goods. Here is a recipe from the National Honey Board for a Queen Bee Apple Pie, an apple pie sweetened with honey which seems appropriate since our local apple crop is being harvested. Queen Bee Apple Pie 6 cups pared tart apple slices 1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped 1/3 cup raisins 1-1/4 cups water, divided 1 cup honey 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/3 cup comstard / Pastry for 2-crust, 9-inch pie Combine apples, nuts and raisins in large bowl. Set aside. Combine 1 cup water, honey, cinnamon, lemon juice and nutmeg in small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring. Mix cornstarch with remaining 1/4 cup water in a cup; stir into honey mixture. Cook and stir until mixture thickens and becomes clear. Pour hot honey mixture over apple mixture, toss to coat evenly. Turn apple mixture into pastrylined 9-inch pie plate. Adjust top crust over filling. Seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top crust so steam can escape. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees; bake 35 minutes more or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack.

Garden Club Members Enjoy Bird Program , By HELEN PLATT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club experienced an agreeable change of pace at their September meeting when the program focused on birds rather than plants. “Where Have All The Bluebirds Gone?” was the topic of an illustrated talk presented by Ms. Barbara Stinson of Warrenton. Ms. Stinson is an enthusiastic lover of Bluebirds who worked with school children and other groups to get them involved in increasing the Bluebrid population by putting up nesting boxes. Her talk followed the life cycle of Bluebirds with slides, many of which she had taken. She pointed out that Bluebirds are permanent residents of this area and since they are not seed eaters they j can be attracted by fruit such as raisins or pieces of apple put out for them in the wintertime. She stressed that the primary reason for the decrease in the suitable boxes is the real solution. At the business meeting which followed, President Helen Brown urged club members to sign up for the October meeting. This will be a luncheon at Airlie in Warrenton with WEDDING STATIONERY Beautiful Wedding Stationery INVITATIONS ANNOUNCEMENTS NAPKINS • BRIDAL BOOKS ACCESSORIES Stop by our office on Main Street, Washington, VA and we can help you plan your entire wedding.

SPESSARD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Once again, this October, just as the swallows traditionally come back each year to Capistrano, Calif, the buzzards return to Hinckley, Ohio, and Punxsatawny Phil emerges from his burrow up in Gobbler’s Knob, Pa., Woolly Bears will be putting in their annual appearance in our area and we at The Hagerstown Almanack will be expecting them to show up at Woolly Bear Headquarters. The contest begins Oct. 1 and the deadline for entries will be Oct. 31. The two categories once again will be the “Cutest and Cuddliest” and the “Biggest and Woolliest.” The person entertaing each winning candidate will receive with our compliments six copies of the 1995 Almanack. All entries should be sent or taken to Woolly Bear Headquarters which is located at the new Eastern Professional Complex on Eastern Boulevard between the Dual Highway and Jefferson Boulevard.

We encourage all of you to keep your eyes peeled for outstanding examples of our furry friend and join us in the fun. Good Luck! Last year’s eleventh Annual Woolly Bear Contest, the 278 entries started arriving early in October as soon as the furry ones started putting in an appearance in this area. Judging of the contestants was an even more difficult task than in previous years but talent finally prevailed and several entries caught the eyes of the judges. The woolly one selected the Cutest and Cuddliest, “the fairest of the fair,” and crowned with the name of “Alma,” was entered by Cody Reed. Cody was a 13-year-oldeighth graders at Clear Spring Middle. The runner up in this category was Bethany Easterday an 11-yearold sixth grader from Smithsburg Middle. In the second category of the Biggest and Woolliest, (and which we labeled “Hairy Hager”), the honor went to the entry submitted by Jonathan Snyder, a seven-yearold second grader from Wolfsville Elementary School. The runner up was entered by Colby Wolfensberger, an eighth grader at Clear Spring Middle. Each winner received an award of $100 for their entry and the runners up each received six copies of the Almanack to share with their friends. We hope that this year you are the one to find the woolly bear that . ,11 catch the judges’ eyes and, thus, have an extra $100 of spending money for the upcoming Christmas season. October Is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The American Cancer Society encourages women, especially older women and underserved populations, to make an appointment for a screening mammorgram. The American Cancer Society estimates that 182,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 46,000 women will die from this disease. In Virginia, 4,400 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year and 1,100 Virginia women will die of breast cancer, the second major cause of cancer death in women next to lung cancer. Mammogram screening is the single best means of early detection of breast cancer and is crucial for women over 50 years of age. Additionally, women should see a health care provider for regular clinical breast examinations and practice monthly breast examinations and practice monthly breast self-examination (BSE). Information on mammorgraphy and instructions for BSE are available by calling the American Cancer Society’s toll-free number. A woman’s risk of developing, breast cancer increases as she grows older and, although family history ot breast cancer is a risk factor, 80 percent of women who get breast cancer have no family history of the disease. American Cancer Societyguidelines for1 screening mamnU>-* grams are as follows: Age 40-50: Mammogram every one or two years; After Age 50: Mammogram annually. For more information about breast cancer and screening mammograms, call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345.

Plant Now For Spring Color By DR. DIANE REEF Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Hardy bulbs can be planted now to provide color from early spring until the end of summer. Most people think of fall as the time to plant daffodils and tulips. Certainly these lovely bulbs with their spectacular displays should not be forgotten, but a wealth of other bulbs can’t be ignored. Winter can be endured more easily if promises of spring are brought by extra early small bulbs, such as glory-of-the-snow, winter aconite, and snowdrops. With flowers from three to six inches tall, these bulbs grow well in rock gardens or raised beds. They also naturalize well under leafy trees that allow light early in the season but give shade in the summer. / ■ i nSmall Tulips Can Be Tucked in Special Places Species tulips, such as the Kaufmannia and Fosteriana, bloom next. Their unusual flower shapes and colors set them apart from the laterblooming, larger tulips. Because of their smaller sizes, these tulips also lend themselves to rock gardens, raised beds or window boxes which/ giye them special places to show their individuality. Hyacinths, daffodils and tulips follow, assuring everyone that spring is indeed here to stay and summer is on the way. Depending on the variety grown, alliums or flowering onions may be the next to bloom. Giant alliums produce flower balls up to nine inches across on stalks four to eight feet tall. They are certainly not an easy plant to use in the flower bed, but their astounding flowers can be the spark that ignites a child’s enthusiasm for plants. Other species of small, red, yellow, and white flowering alliums (under a foot tall) can also be found in most bulb catalogs. Another allium with lovely blossoms that often is relegated to the herb garden is chives. Chives can be very effective in a flower border with pinkish lavender, ball-shaped flowers in early June. The added benefit is snipping leaves through out the summer to flavor soups and salads. ' Use Lilies for Color All Through Season Lilies are a highly deverse groups of summer flowering perennials that can provide the novice or the experienced gardener with a highly rewarding, continuous show of color from June through October. Careful selection of varieties not only provides a prolonged profusion of color, but also a diversity in flower shape, color of blossoms and size of plants. Yellows and oranges predominate, but whites, pinks and reds are readily available. Although some varieties reach over eight feet tall, the newer hybrids that bloom at between two and three feet easily integrate themselves into most flower borders. Foxtail lilies, which are really an Eremus, make dramatic accents in the early summer, producing tall spikes covered with hundreds of starry bells. Some species reach as tall as 10 feet, so unless you design a giant-sized flower border, be careful to select from the shorter species, three to four feet tall. Actually grown from tubers rather than true bulbs, foxtail lilies are more difficult to establish than most of the hardy bulbs, but are well worth the effort. Blackberry Lily Blooms 1 In Late Summer Another favorite for late summer bloom is the blackberry lily. Actually a member of the iris family, this plant is started from division of rhizomes or fleshy underground stems. In August and September, graceful sprays of small, red-spotted, orange flowers appear, producing a tickgreen, capsule-type fruit. Later in the fall, the capsules split to reveal clusters of black seeds, resembling blackberries, thus its name. These seed heads are interesting in dried flower arrangemfents. i (Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.)

Day REALTOR LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT? I HOPE SO The better the condition of a home, the better price it will bring and the quicker it will sell. In a slow market, poor condition may very well mean that the home will not sell at all, given the competition of other homes that may be in better or new condition. Fortunately, condition is something we have control over. Your Realtor will have specific recommendations, but some advice here might be appropriate. Repairing those items that you have been putting off — a fresh coat of paint, thorough cleaning and organizing — can do wonders for a sale. Neatness counts. Eliminate clutter. Make the home appear as spacious as possible. One area to pay special attention to is the front door. This is where the prospective buyers stand while waiting for you or the Realtor to let them in. Be sure it is clean, with windows washed and fresh paint. The old saying that 'You never get a second chance to make a first impression" is still true. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, REALTOR, the Clopton House, Washington, Va., 22747. Phone 6753033, We’re here to help. pected on or about the 5th, it would be advantageous to consider protecting late producing plants in the vegetable garden as well as flowers in borders. Remember the old adage of falling back as Daylight Saving Time ends the 30th, the last Sunday of the month, and we gain back the hour we lost last April. With the shorter days, it’s a wise precaution to adjust our driving habits to meet the changing road conditions by turning on headlights as dusk approaches, not so we can see better but so other drivers can see us.
