Park Asks Help With Old Rag Congestion Shenandoah National Park officials are requesting the assistance of visitors to Old Rag Mountain. Overcrowding, noise, traffic, trash, illegal camping and trespassing on private property in the Old Rag area are constant problems on weekends. Old Rag Mountain, located on the east side of the Park in Madison County, has become a popular hiking destination. The Old Rag area receives around 100,000 visitors per year, over 75 percent of which enter the Park from Weakley Hollow on Route 600. Visitors report that on busy weekends hikers often have a long wait to climb through some of the narrow passages on the Ridge Trail because there are so many people. Traffic jams and congested parking in the area result in potential hazards to hikers, residents and their vehicles. This situation can impede emergency traffic. The trailhead parking area within the Park can not accommodate the large number of people that visit the area on weekends. In an effort to provide some relief, the Park Service leases a site on Route 600 for additional parking. In reponse to a meeting with neighbors in Weakley Hollow, an effort will be made to alleviate some of the pressure in the area this fall. Signing is being improved and increased patrols in the Weakley Hollow area on weekends will encourage visitors to use the overflow parking once the parking lot at the Old Rag Trailhead is full. The National Park Service is concerned about the impacts high visitation is having on Park resources and Park neighbors. Officials are encouraging visitors to explore some of the lesser used areas of the Park. There are over 500 miles of trails in Shenadoah, many which provide a genuine wilderness experience. Hazel Country and the Big Run Portal are beautiftil wilderness areas located within the Park. For more informaiton on hiking trails, contact Park staff at 999-2243.

Katzen Reports on Visits to Varied Schools By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Del. Jay Katzen reported that after two of the public meetings by the Governor’s Commission on Championship Schools he was impressed with activities going on in schools he had visited and the public was pleased with the process that had been started even if they held conflicting views on what ,should be done. The commission visited Wise County and Fairfax County last week. They spent a day at each location, visiting schools and meeting with people in public education before conducting public hearings in the evenings. In Wise County they visited a vocational center where students can learn everything from printing to cosmetology, he said. He reported that he was impressed with the center and schools visited in Northern Virginia, and pleased with the “quality of education going on in buildings that are far from new.” v He added, “I was impressed with the dedication of the teachers and enthusiasm of students. It is palpable. There are a lot of exciting things going on.” In Annandale they had a briefing by high school students in a peer mediation program that is ongoing. They visited Bailey Elementary School in Fairfax, a school with a large number of students who have come to the United States with little English background. “There was an incredible diversity of language and national origin. We were all very impressed with how well the youngsters were getting along,” he said, noting that the school had a lot of computers and “technological opportunities.” They also visited Page Traditional School in Arlington County, a school requested by parents who wanted their children taught in traditional self-contained classrooms. The parents persuaded the School Board to reopen a school building that had been closed See Katzen, Page A-8 Bybee Runs Long Shot WriteIn Campaign for Senate Seat By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Signs supporting By bee for U.S. Senate appeared over the Columbus Day weekend at the intersection of Route 231 and U.S. 522 and at the intersection of U.S. 522 and U.S. 211 in Sperryville. The blue and white signs state that this is a write-in campaign and give (703)960-9831 as a telephone number. A call to that number reached Dennis L. Bybee who said he had put the signs up himself in an effort to make his independent bid better known. The Bybee for Senate campaign is unique in not asking for funds. In fact, Mr. Bybee said he will not accept contributions to the campaign, which he is financing himself. He said he has $25,000 for the campaign and intends to spend exactly that much. The campaign is registered with the State Board of Elections and the Federal Elections Commission, he said. Mr. Bybee lives in Alexandria. He has worked for the Department of Defense in education for U.S. dependents oversees. He worked for several years as a teacher and principal in dependent schools in Asia and later in Alexandria and retired as chief of the Department of Defense Dependents Schools headquarters, management information systems division in 1991. His education includes a B.A. degree in chemistry from Fresno State College, an M.S. in chemistry from Purdue University and a PhD. in Education from Michigan State University. He is currently associate executive offiSee Bybee, Page A-8 Town Council Picks ! . 1 Two New Members z J Skowronski, Tompkins, Elected in 3-2 Votes By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Peter Skowronski and Charlie Tompkins were appointed to the Washington Town Council last week, to fill vacancies left by Janice Moffett and Newbill Miller. Ms. Moffett resigned last month, and Mr. Miller was ineligible to remain on the council because he moved out of the town on Oct. 2. j At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Miller said that five of the candidates running for council during the last election ran “loosely aligned,” and “I would urge you to appoint council people to fill these seats with the same philosophy.” Reinhardt Lynch asked Mayor Stew Willis about his decision to discontinue tape recording the council meetings, and asked that a vote be taken. A motion to continue taping the meetings passed on a 3-2 vote. Mayor Willis had said that the tape recording has become more of a public issue and that he thought it was a bad idea. He said he wanted the notes of the meeting to be the minutes, and not the recording. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds offered to be in charge of the tape recorder. lo replace Janice Motiett, bteve Critzer nominated Charlie Tompkins and Ray Gooch nominated Charlie Eldred. He said, “Charlie Eldred would be on this council if it were not for a coin toss.” (In the last election, Mr. Eldred had the same number of votes as Reinhardt Lynch, and Mr. Lynch won a coin toss which placed him on the council.) Mr. Tompkins was not present at the meeting, but Mr. Critzer and Mr. Reynolds both said that he had told them that he would like to serve on the council. Several members of the audience spoke in favor of Mr. Eldred. Diane Bruce said that Mr. Eldred had missed being on the council by one vote four years ago, and that “he has always been right in there on top of the losers.” Messrs. Willis, Critzer and Zumwalt voted for Charlie Tompkins, and Messrs. Gooch and Lynch voted for Charlie Eldred. For the second seat to be filled, Mr. Gooch nominated Mr. Eldred, and Mr. Critzer nominated Peter Skowronski, who was present at the meeting. Mr. Lynch said, “I am sitting here only because of the toss of a coin. I think the townspeople ‘II spoke and said that if I was not sitting here they wanted Charlie Eldred sitting here.” Mayor Willis said, “Mr. Tompkins and Mr. Skowronski have been selected and they will need to be swofa in.” 11 Mr. Gooch said, “We have not voted on Mr. Skowronski. I think we know what the vote will be.” “Does this mean the vote has been taken before we came?” inquired Mr. Lynch. Messrs. Lynch and Gooch voted for Mr. Eldred, and Messrs. Willis, Critzer and Zumwalt voted for Mr. Skowronski. “Does this mean the vote has been taken before we came?” J ■ j Reinhardt Lynch. ii -*—.—Patrick O’Connell asked if Mr. Skowronski could be sworn in and sit on the council right away. He was sworn in and promptly took his seat at the council table. Steve Critzer nominated Peter Kramer for the Architectural Review Board, and he was approved by the council. Fawn Evenson and Frank Scott were both nominated to be on the Planning Commission. The vote was 3-3, so it was decided that the vote would again be taken at the next meeting, when seven members are sitting on the council. Other members of the ARB and Planning Commission whose terms have expired were reappointed. There is one position available on the town Board of Zoning Appeals. It must be advertised, and applicants will be interviewed and chosen by the circuit court judge of Rappahannock County. Treasurer Tom Zumwalt said that there are termites in the Town Hall, and he received bids of $522, $900 and $991.

Resource Center Opens on Main Street • By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N«r» Staff Writer ■ Rappahannock League for Envi. ronmental Protection President ; Hunt Harris hopes that a variety of ' undertakings he is interested in pro_ moting can come together at the “resource center” he opened in the ' former Cabin Fever Books shop on Main Street in Washington. • The hours the center will be open - are not set yet, but Mr. Harris is planning to recruit volunteers to ! man the center two or three days during the week and at least one day during the weekend. / ./ A call to the center’s telephone at 675-1879 produces the message that the center is “based in Rappahannock County” and is “focused on a “The time has come to weave this tapestry that is uniquely Rappahannock together.” —Hunt Harris .. . f; -- lI sustainable, balanced community ■with an environmental conscience.” RLEP has committed to pay a portion of the rent and telephone bill for six months. Mr. Harris, who is oh the board of directors for the Piedmont Environmental Council, hopes to get commitments from PEC and other groups and individuals to cover the rest of the expenses. The center can become a source for information on activities related to education, recreation, environment protection and the arts, he says. John and Brenda Van Ness donated a fax machine, answering machine and bulletin board. Judith Hunt contributed a Macintosh laptop powerbook computer and some financial aid. “I cover the rest through my own pocket and welcome anyone else who wishes to contribute as volunteer staff or funding,” he said. “I’m just treading water financially.” Monday afternoon the center opened and within 15 minutes four people walked in, and three volunteered, he said. He hopes the center will make RLEP and PEC more visible. He hopes it can also serve RAAC, local B and B businesses, and various community groups that share his interests. It will be a center for information and to help people learn about other resources with information. Mr. Harris is an active tennis player and teacher and leader of hikes. He expects the center to help with that. He is also very interested in organizing an effort to monitor water quality in the county’s rivers and streams. He is working with the high school environmental club on that and on programs to teach about native plants and how to preserve them. With RLEP he hopes to expand the summer natural history day camp to include older teens and adults. £ In back of all that is Mr. Harris’s belief that Rappahannock is a unique place where people can relate to the earth more naturally than they do in cities. He hopes to raise consciousness of people here to the natural rhythms of the earth and not to look on the earth as just “a resource for their consumption...The time has come to weave this tapestry that is uniquely Rappahannock together,” he said. With the end of the fight against the Disney’s America project and the news that the farm he was living on had been sold, it was time to make a change, he said. “I’m ready to harvest these different projects and plant seeds for the year ahead. ” Rappahannock New* Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Hunt Harris stands outside the new resource center. I Business Council To Publicize ! Town's Colonial Christmas II By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Plans for Colonial Christmas weekend, to be held on Dec. 3 and 4, were discussed at last week’s Town Council weekend. Tanya Richey, president of the Washington Business Council, told the council that her organization, which met at the Flint Hill Public " House on Oct. 11, would like to do the publicity and advertising for Colonial Christmas. “We will promote the colonial nature of the town and events taking place,” she said. She added that local businesses would be emphasized in the advertising, and that the only thing the business council needs is information about what is happening for Colonial Christmas so they can put it in the promotional material. The Washington Business Council has for several * years produced a brochure about Washington. Fran Eldred complained that she did not know about the meeting, and wondered who made up the council. Ms. Richey said that she is president, Eve Willis is vice-president, Mary Simmons is treasurer, and Phyllis Marriott is secretary. Also attending the meeting were Frank . Scott and Mitzie Young. ; Town council member Ray Gooch • said that the town has in the past ' been responsible for the greens and j the decorating of the lamp posts and * town hall, and has provided greens American Heart Association U vs v ,(< P A !' . il 1 for the public buildings. He said that Louise van Dort has been in charge of the greens in recent years, and that if the town intended to decorate, the greens needed to be, ordered, if it was not already too late. Mayor Willis said that he would like the Washington Business Council to address the issue of decorating to see if they could take on the responsibility. Ms. Richey said that they wanted only to do the publicity for Colonial Christmas. Ms. van Dort said that in the past, Town Council has authorized $1,500 to be spent on greens, but that actual expenses are approximately $500, after many of the greens are sold to businesses at a five percent profit. Eve Willis recommended that the greens go out for bids because she felt that last year the prices were higher than they had\ to be. “I think every $100 for the town counts,” she said. lordyLordy Look who's 40 Happy Birthday We love you, Your Family dr.

Ms. van Dort almost backed out as a volunteer for the greens, but consented to work with only Tom Zumwalt regarding the greenery. The Town Council voted to reinstate their celebrations fund and put in $1,500 for Colonial Christmas. , Ms. Richey said that the Business Council spends a great deal of money for postage and printing and asked if the Town Council could help them with costs. Mr. Zumwalt said; “If the town is going to advertise the town, separate from the businesses, we might entertain the possibility of paying postage or something if the council would agree.” Mayor Willis asked Ms. Richey to prepare a proposal for Treasurer Zumwalt after their next meeting, which is to be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Flint Hill Public House Tuesday, Oct. 25. He would like to see RLEP more visible when there is not an immediate crisis at hand. PEC is already if working that way, he said. He wants to foster cooperation rather than competition between groups and individuals, to bridge the gap between developers and environmentalists. “I hope we can work together as honorable representatives of our species,” he said. r Konick Chosen Class Rep i Nick Konick was elected as one of the class officers to the Student Government at Wakefield Country Day School.

Au^'t WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1994 I No, Yes and Yes i ' ■ ■ We recommend a “No” vote on the first of three proposed amendments to the Constitution of Virginia and “Yes” yotes on the other two. In 1991 the General Assembly passed a law raising from 20 to 28 the age at which a victim of child abuse could file a civil suit for abuse that had occurred When the person was a child. In 1993 the state Supreme Court ruled the law was unconstitutional as it applied to persons who had already passed the age of 20. The amendment would replace that Supreme Court ruling. In the intervening years thcHse who were 25 through 28 when the law was passed have passed the age of 28. The amendment would only apply to those who will be 24 through 28 in 1995. We don’t believe that amounts to enough people to be worth cluttering up the Virginia Constitution, and to be i absolutely honest, we’re skeptical about the burgeoning business of helping people “recover” repressed memories of t childhood abuse. We also doubt that the healing process is enhanced by seeking redress in a court of law. ' The second amendment is needed to align registration and voting regulations in Virginia with those that apply to Federal elections. If this amendment fails the registrars will be forced to keep two lists, one of those voters eligible to vote in federal elections and another of voters eligible to vote in all elections. While we question the wisdom of having people register to vote in DMV and welfare offices, we don’t feel the local registrars should bear the brunt of this by having to maintain two lists. ( The third amendment would simplify and clarify how General Assembly bills become law or are amended. The governor would have to actively veto a bill to prevent it becomming law rather than vetoing it if the assembly is in session or simply failing to sign it if the assembly is adjourned. Rules for amending bills would also become more universal and understandable. J. Newbill Miller Perhaps the replacement of J. Newbill Miller on Town Council last week with Peter Skowronski marks the end of Mr. Miller’s long life in public service. v Mr. Miller began this career in February of 1963 when he was appointed to fill out the term of E.M. Jones as Hampton District representative on the Board of Supervisors. He said he was almost immediately selected as chairman since he lived closest to the courthouse. In the 31 and a half years since, besides serving on the Board of Supervisors, he has been a member and chairman of the Planning Commission, a member of the School Board and Mayor of Washington as well as member of the Washington Town Council. Throughout those years Mr. Miller has been guided by a philosophy of fiscal conservatism, low taxes with little or no debt. While we have not always agreed with Mr. Miller’s positions, we are convinced that, particularly in the area of planning, the citizens of Rappahannock County are deeply in his debt. United Way Aids RLS To the Editor: Rappahannock Legal Services is one of the member agencies of the Piedmont United Way. Legal Aid provides free legal help in civil cases to the nearly 12,000 low-income residents of Culpeper, Madison, Orange, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. Your United Way contribution helps our clients to get child and spousal support or other income into the household so they can get on their feet financially and stay off welfare or avoid homelessness. United Way enables us to help disabled people qualify for SSI disability, VA benefits or decent medical care. / With the help of the United Way, we assist senior citizens with wills, powers of attorney or guardianships and help them establish eligibility for Medicaid or other necessary programs. Legal Aid is able to give assistance to clients fighting consumer rip-offs or who are being swallowed up by debt thanks in part to the financial support provided by United Way. And United Way funding makes it possible for us to help battered clients obtain civil orders to have their abusing spouses removed from the home, to get protection for themselves and their children, and to keep their families from becoming another crime statistic. Our services are made possible in Rappahannock County in part through your support of the Piedmont United Way. Our clients need your help more than ever this year. Please give generously and thank you for your past support. JAMIE ALIPERTI ! Managing Attorney, Western Branch Office History Questioned To the Editor: In your Oct. 5, edition of the Rappahannock News, it was interesting to note Richard Settle’s comment made during the Jerico Road/Poe’s Road debate. Mr. Settle said, in part, “...the Settles should have roads around Rock Mills named for them because they had owned all the land around Rock Mills and had three family cemeteries there.” I don’t doubt Mr. Settle’s assertion that he has lived in the county all of his life, but I do dispute that there has ever been a time when the Settle family owned “all” or even a majority of the property in the area of Rock Mills. When researching the history of this part of Rappahannock County, the names Norman, Cannom, Cooksey, Wharton, Slaughter, and Griffith (among others) are very prominent. Of course, everyone familiar with the area for the past forty years, knows that Edward Pawley owned a substantial part of what is known as Rock Mills. When referencing history, it is important that accuracy be recognized and emphasized. FLOYD T. GRIGSBY Rock Mills Dr. Gangel Thanked To the Editor: I believe I speak for the parents of all the K-2 special ed children in expressing my gratitude to Dr. Gangel for deciding to recommend to the School Board that these children have a classroom in the new wing with the rest of the K-2 students and to the School Board for accepting this recommendation. Thanks also to the editor of the Rappahannock News for her interest in this matter and for considering it to be of importance to write an editorial. SHERRY HAMILL-HUFF Flint Hill The answer lo this picture is True?CH Rilse?^ Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan The Farfelu Winery offered free samples at the House Tour last weekend* 1 North Opposed , To the Editor: ( The upcoming Senate election has been called a choice between the lesser of two evils. I believe that the greater of those two eyils is clearly Oliver North. If for no other reason, his well documented record of lying and illegal activites clearly disqualifies him from public office. A number of facts about candidate North that the voters should consider: • Oliver North traded guns to the Iranians, the most treacherous antiAmerican government on earth. This was nothing but a craven pandering to terrorists that went against everything his commanderin-chief, Ronald Reagan, claimed to stand for. • Oliver North is a creation of television. If the media—which he reviles in his every campaign speech—had not broadcast every word of his testimony before the Congrssional Committee on the Iran-Contra Affair, he would have been forgotten long ago. If experience has taught us anything, being good on TV is not a qualification for public office. • Oliver North was never exonerated when his convictions were overturned, he weaseled off on a technicality. For the record: he was convicted of lying to Congress, falsefying records, and accepting gifts (money) for personal use while still a government employee. No court has ever ruled that the evidence used to convict him wks not valid. • Oliver North has lied about: private meetings with Ronald Reagan that never occurred, private meetings with CIA Director Casey that never occurred, the arms he sold the Contras—they had to buy them at inflated prices and many of them turned out to be defective, and his length of service in Vietnam and what rank he held while there. • Oliver North’s candidacy is opposed by such men as Gen. Colin Powell, Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf and Admiral William Crowe. The following people worked with North in the Reagan administration and considered him untruthful: George Schultz, Casper Weinberger, Robert McFarland, Elliott Abrams, James Webb and Ronald Reagan. Nobody in the private sector could get a job with these kinds of references from their former employers and co-workers, so why should the citizens of Virginia hire Ollie North to be our Senator. At least Chuck Robb has admitted his past wrongs and apologized for them. There doesn’t seem to be one contrite bone in Ollie North’s whole body. On November 8th re-elect Senator Robb and defeat Ollie North’s arrogance and untruths. FREDERICK C. SCHAEFER Sperryville North Supported To the Editor; Here are a few reasons I think Oliver North will make a great Senator for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Ollie has strong leadership qualities. He has a backbone of steel which will allow him to take political pressure without caving in to the “go along to get along” poltical notion. I truely believe North will have my concerns at heart and be more likely to vote them than those of his liberal colleagues, like Ted Kennedy and others, in order to get their vote on the next one. North will not be afraid to expose the crooks and their policies when necessary. North has conservative principles that will cause him to fight for my freedoms by limiting the federal government, lowering taxes, and supporting a balanced budget amendment and real crime control legislation. He is for the individual determining his/her destiny and will fight the liberals’ philosophy that “Big Brother” government knows best. This socialist philosophy to which Chuck Robb subscribes has given us unfunded federal mandates that continue to strip us of Our individual freedoms. Last but not least, Capital Hill needs more private business people versus career politicians and lifelong government bureaucrats. He knows first hand of the struggles that small business people face day to day with government mandates and red tape that stifle the life out of entrepreneurship. Robb has no concept of these pressures; therefore, he could not possibly make choices and decisions in our best interest. Chuck Robb has voted with Bill Clinton 95 percent of the time. He has voted for the biggest tax increase in the history of this nation. He has voted for the confirmation of Clinton’s appointees that have been forced to resign because of scandal and corruption. He supported lifting the ban on homosexuals in the military. While trying to sound like he is going to be tough on lowering the government deficit by stating he would “take money from widows and orphans.” I remember he voted for his own pay rise. Where was his concern for the deficit then? To sum it up, if you like Clinton’s leftist/socialist agenda then Oliver ' North is not your candidate. But, if you are not happy with the way this adminsitration and the Democratic majority in Washington are taking this country, let’s stop them with a Republican Senate and House of Representatives. Vote for Oliver North for Senate and Frank Wolf for Congress. v CATHY FRAZIER Amissville Handicapped Bathrooms Needed To the Editor: I am voicing a complaint to the organizers of the fall festival held in Spervylle the first weekend of the month. It is a very beautiful place. The festival was very nice also, except for one major problem. There were no bathroom facilities in Speryville for the handicapped. You cannot get a wheelchair citizen into a porta-potty. We were forced to cut our stay short in order to drive all the way back to Culpeper, so my sister could use the bathroom. Not only was this a inconvenience to us, but she suffered the burden of trying to hold out for the long distance. I would hate to think that such festivities were only for our ablebodied citizens. Just because the wheelchair citizens cannot walk or use their hands like the rest of us does not mean that they cannot enjoy the beauty of fall or festivals, music, crafts or being with other people. l am hoping that by voicing my concern the good citizens of Speryville will construct public bathroom facilities for all citizens that come to enjoy their festival and crafts and put an end to the smelly porta-potty brigade in time for their next festival. After all if the citizens think enough of the festival and their wares to come spend their time and money, the citizens deserve a little consideration in return. We had hoped to make several purchases including a bushel or two of apples, but were forced to leave early. So we just returned home from Culpeper disenchanted. BERTHA BURGESS Fredericksburg Democrats Criticized To th Editor , If the Democrats ever start to get their facts straight, I might be able to get some housework done around here, but they do keep me busy trying to educate them. Mr. Ross (Oct. 12), the three hundred Republicans you referred to did not promise to “give us” anything. What they promised was to bring to the floor of the House their i ideas of how to solve the country’s problems. Under Democratic rule, this has not been allowed to happen: Republican bills get locked up in committee, locked up, pressed down, squeezed in, strangled, and killed, while the Clintons, thenhired help, and the toadies in the press complain on the air that “the Republicans don’t offer any ideas of their own, they just keep saying no.” They lie, Mr. Ross. The Republicans do have ideas, and after this November, they will be heard. Any voter who does not like these ideas will be free to vote against them. That’s the way the system works, or used to, before the illiberal liberals decided to run the Congress as if it were the Democratic National Party Convention: Do it our way, or you do not do it at all. If everything they do is so right, Mr. Ross, and everything we do is so wrong, why are they so afraid of open discussion to be followed by a vote? Maybe they need to do a little housecleaning of their own. ( EDITH POND Sperry ville Postal Service? To the Editor: What has happened to a “reasonable delivery time” for delivering the mail? It happens everytime our regular carrier is off—we get our mail anytime. I mean anytime from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and beyond. Why? I realize that substitutes are not as familiar with the route as the regular carrier, but I would also think that after substituting a few times “not being familiar” would no longer apply. It is even worse when there is a holiday. It is so frustrating. What can we as normal taxpaying citizens do to correct this unacceptable practice? A call to the Postal Inspector at Merrifield may be in order. I hope some of the other people served near the end of Route 2, Amissville wll take time to protest also. Maybe we will get some relief.: Let’s see what happens. AN UNHAPPY PATRON Amissville «.

The campaign, if can truly be called one, has not yet and is unlikely to deal with any discussion of substantive issues facing the state and nation. Instead it has been marked by an endless procession of name calling on all sides that seems destined to get even uglier, if possible, as the days dwindle down toward election day in less than three week. On the surface, Democratic Senator Charles S. Robb’s chances of reelection seem to have grown brighter over the past week or so. Black activists in increasing numbers have been endorsing him after former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder pulled out of the race, President Clinton has' finally started to look presidential in his foreign policy dealings with situations in Haiti and along the Iraq-Kuwait border and Robb’s chief rival, Republican Oliver North, has been saying some strange things, perhaps as a result of his grinding, non-stop campaign effort to meet as many Virginians as he can face to face. Yet surface looks can be deceiving. The black support for Robb may be a mile wide and an inch thick. Many black leaders I talk to make it clear they are not enthusiastic about Robb but support him only because he’s the Democrat and Wilder is no longer in the race. Robb’s close ties to Clinton may hurt him more than they help since the President remains with consistently negative number in polls taken in Virginia. And then there is what some respected political pundits call the “voting booth” effect which may be of great help to North. That theory holds that while polls show Robb and North aboud dead even with independent Republican candidate Marshall Coleman getting anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the vote, that Robb in order to win probably needs to demonstrate at least a lead of 7 to 8 points in polls. The reason, so the pundits theorize, is that there are a substantial number of Virginians who will end up pulling the lever for North even though they won’t admit it to pollsters. They have heard North called a liar and a tool of the Christian Right long and loud enough to back off from publicly endorsing his candidacy, but nevertheless don’t like Clinton and don’t like Robb’s consistent support of the Clinton agenda or some of the revelations about his personal life. While some might be tempted to say a plague on both your houses and vote for Coleman, unless the independent can rise substantially in the next round of polling, he will be pronounced dead in the water. Therefore, Virginians who want to cast a protest vote against Washington will have nowhere to turn but North if they want the vote to mean something. At least that’s they way the theory goes. I think it has some validity because I know of some people who profess to still be undecided, yet I deeply suspect will end up voting for North because they say they are fed up with politicians in general. It’s not that they hold North in that high regard, but that he seems to be preaching the only truly anti-establishment message of the Senate contenders. No predictions by this columnist yet. I’ll save those for now. , 11 (Editor’s Note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own.) r.r* I I The New* York Times Errs Also l ■ v ■ • ' ■ JAMES J. KILPATRICK Universal Press Syndicate Let is be said at the outset, in case I forget to say it later, that The New York Times is the greatest paper in the land. It is graced by word maven William Safire. In Russell Baker, the Times has the wittiest of all humorists. Under Howell Raines the editorial page, which used to be misguided mushily, is now misguided decisvely. Besides, the Times has the best crossword puzzles to be found anywhere. Enough! One expects greatness of the great. Day in and day out, the Times should go almost flawlessly to press. Its rare mistakes should have a certain grandeur about them: Matterhoms of error. But alas! The mighty Times these days is like unto the great image of Neburchadnezzar, whose feet were part of iron and part of clay. The Times covered Karel Novacek’s fine performance at the U.S. Open in September. The talented Czechoslovakian, ranked 56th in the world, at last reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam event. Reported Robin Finn: “He finally received his just desserts.” Aaargh! It is not just “desserts,” for crying out loud! It is just “deserts,” and it is seldom the hero who gets his just deserts, it is almost always the villain who gets his just deserts. The Times has trouble with these things. On Sept. 19, the Times’ man in Las Vegas covered a title fight between Julio Cesar Chavez and Meldrick Taylor. Mr. Chavez knocked Mr. Taylor down in the eighth. THe referee let the fallen pugilist continue, but Mr. Chavez “began wailing away to end the bout and resurrect his career.” Wailing away? Come now. The triumphant antagonist whaled away; he struck vigorously, he defeated soundly. The verb, origin unknown, dates from 1790. We many condone homophonic confusion in newspapers on the lower slopes of Olympus. Should we forgive such transgressions at the peak? Headline in the Time on July 19:'“IRS Workers Were Peaking at Returns.” No such thing. Curious workers were peeking at returns. Taxpayers had a right to be piqued. On Aug. 30, the Times filed a story on luxury automobiles. BMW, it appears, has added touches of wood and begun installing seats “with wrinkled, rather than taught, leather.” From old cows, that is, rather than from educated cows. Homophones happen. Ugly leads ought not to happen.

Such distant separations tend to recur. This paraghaph arrived on Sept. 1 from the Times’ man in Hong Kong. “The great Hong Kong land boom—which has caused prices for residential land to nearly triple since 1990 and has left this city with some of the most expensive real estate on earth less than three eyars before Britain is to hand back its crown colony to China—appears to be over for now,” Tally ho, the verb! The Times ought never to err in grammar, but on Aug. 12 a federal jury in Alaska weighed “the sharply differing stories that was being told about the Exxon Valdez wreck.” On Feb. 4, reporting events following the suicide of Vincent Foster, the Times let us know that Mr. Nussbaum “decided that all of the papers were not relevant to the suicide inquiry.” Mr. Nussbaum decided no such thing. He decided that not all of the papers were relevant. Big difference between “all” and “not all.” It’s a familiar solecism. So is “sworn affidavit” (Aug. 31), but this sort of familiarity ought not to be familiarat The New York Times. All the foregoing literary offenses might be overlooked—mere flecks of dandruff on a velvent dollar—but more in sorrow than in anger I must report an offense far too egregious ever to be condoned. Headline, Sept. 11: “Where Versailles Grew Its Veggies.” VEGGIES? Veggies! In the gardens of the Sun King we find veggies? How are the mighty fallen in the midst of battle!

As a middle of the road voter, I was shocked by the document they sent us with our last Rappahannock News. I read it all. Hysteria leads them to tell me, among other things, that my vote for Senator is about the President. Wrong. My Senator is my Senator. I want him to represent me „ in the Senate no matter who is President. The Republican Party is shouting slogans at us, slogans meant to produce fear, confusion, and misinformation. Is that the voice I want? No, it is not. And as for the Republican candidate, he’s not worth mentioning.

Farmers Schedule Beef Symposium The Rappahannock Fanners’ Association is sponsoring a Beef Education Seminar on Oct. 29 at Windsor Lodge Farm, a commercial cow-calf operation owned and operating by Alfred and Clara Kummli in Huntly. The purpose of the seminar is to address some the major concerns of local beef producers and to present information concerning seed stock selection from a nationally recognized breeder. Four speakers will make presentations. Newbill Miller will speak on his philosophy of developing a breeding herd to fit the needs of the commercial industry. The Miller family, of Washington were recently named 1994 Master Breeder of the Year at the 47th Showing of the All American Angus Breeder’s Futurity in Louisville, Ky. The Millers Ginger Hill herd is the Top Maternal Angus herd in America. The family has bred nine of the top 50 cows in the United States for pure maternal milk EPD; and their herd bulls inBull Testing Dr. Patrick Comyn of Virginia Herd Health Management Service in Madison County will be conducting a Bull Breeding Soundness Testing Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5 at Glenwood feedlot.

Dr. Stephen White will speak on some local animals health concerns. First, he will address the care of newborn calves. Second, he will provide information on a new strand of BVD that is causing great problems in surrouncing areas. Dr. White has just opened a practice in Rappahannock County focusing on large animal health care. Before coming to the area, he had practiced in Florida and in Clifton. Jack Dunford will speak on different feed formulations for the producers who is backgrounding cattle. With the recent decline in cattle prices, more options in this area are needed. Mr. Dunford is with the Extension Service and assists farmers in 16 counties. Lately, he has been in Rappahannock County once a week when the county did not have an agricultural agent. , Randall Updike will close the seminar with a report on market conditions for the area. He will discuss factors that have created the present condition and will affect the near future. Mr. Updike is a state marketing specialist and along with his family operates a pure bred angus and sheep operation in Washington. To get to Windsor lodge from Flint Hill, go North on U.S. 522 for three miles, turn right on Route 637 and go two miles. The Windsor Lodge Farm entrance is on the left.

Plowing buries the previous crop residues and leaves the soil bare. Bare soil has no protection from the forces of rain drops falling at tremendous velocity, dislodging the soil into smaller, lighter particles that wash off your fields with valuable nutrients and organic matter. No cover or residue means quick run off. There are ways to cut down on this type of soil loss. Stop plowing is one obvious way. No-till planting for some has become a way of farm life. Reducing the number of times one plows is certainly a far better plan than leaving the soil to wash away every year. Scheduling the plowing in the spring and leaving some type of residue cover over the winter months will also help reduce erosion. Plowing in the spring just before a crop is planted minimizes the length of time the soils are left unprotected, thus limiting the risk or erosion and increasing your forage production. Just by adding more years of grass to your rotation will substantially lower the soil loss rate. Stripcropping is another popular effective alternative to plowing the entire field year after year. Stripecropping is simply alternating strips or wide bands of hay, alfalfa or aiv other close growing crop within £ row crop like corn or soybeans; These strips are installed with vary*ing widths to fit each field and meet each farmer’s need. I Cover crops such as rye, wheats or barley work well as a wintef cover. It must be planted early enough to get a good stand to cover the land. | Erosion affects more than the land. It affects all of us economically* personally and also affects general tions to come. Where will our chilldren farm.

Agriculture Virginia’s Tuberculosis status will officially change once our department of agriculture receives notice from USD A in the federal register, this according to recent comments by J. Carlton Courter, Commissioner of Agriculture. That is we have not officially lost our suspended free status, but we will once things go through channels higher up. He said that since another cow had been found in a herd that was tested within the prescribed distance from the original source herd in Floyd County, USDA automatically will suspend our free status. Despite being demoted from our TB free status, Mr. Courter feels that it will not have an impact on cattle marketing. The count ,down will begin, lasting two years, after this second herd in Floyd is depopulated. If no other cases arise during that time, we are eligible to reapply for TB-free status. This free status allows breeding stock and all cattle for that matter, to move freely between states with no restrictions on destination or inspection. Your origin from a “free state” is your ticket to travel. Yet, a lot of cattle move out of North Carolina which does not have the free status. For cattle to move into restricted states from a state lacking free status, they either must originate from a certified free herd, which takes a year to accomplish, or must be going to a feed yard that only ships cattle out to slaughter. Having cattle go to slaughter is the loophole for non-TB free states to export cattle. Another loophole is that buyers can simply break the law, knowing that some states do not have tight supervision of their borders. Since we will be at least two years without the luxury of TB free status, folks who want their cattle to move freely and without restriction, can go about having their herd established as certified TB free. You would have to be large enough to put together trailer load lots and merchandize them as having this special status. If sold in graded sales, there is no advantage since cattle are comingled. Speaking of graded sales, remember the second sale with the Culpeper Madison Feederal Cattle Association this month at the Culpeper Agriclutral Enterprises at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 27 with take in on ' Wednesday before the sale day. Call 547-2188 to consign. Feeder Cattle Working Demonstration v On Oct. 26 at 5 p.m. at Wheatley Shackelford’s Aradia Farm in Culpeper County, the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service will conduct a demonstration on working feeder cattle using the new covered facility at Arcadia Farm. The demonstration will include working six to eight weaned calves, giving them a variety of different implants-Ralgro, Synovex, Compudose and Calfold, also deworming, how to treat for grubs, and vaccinations. Representatives of the product companies will be on hand to describe the merits and purpose of each product demonstrated. Thus will be followed by a beef BBQ and fixings provided by the sponsors. Muscling and Cutability On Nov. 2 at 5 p.m. at the Culpeper Agricultural Exterprises, a dinner and seminar will be held on the topic “Muscling and Cutability.” Randall Updike, Marketing Consultant, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, will address why muscling is important to the seedstock producers. Bill McKinnon, Livestock Specialist, Virginia Cooperative Extension, and Jim Johnson with the Virginia Cattleman’s Association will address “Marketing Trends and Update.” This should be a good time to get first-hand information on the tuberculosis situation in Virginia. Please call the Rappahannock Extension Office at 675-3619 to registrer for either of these programs or if you need additional information on beef livestock production. Va Horseman Unhappy with Commission's Track Vote At least one leader in Virginia’s horse industry is skeptical the Virginia Racing Commission made the right decision in agreeing to put the state’s first pari-mutuel track in rural New Kent County. Gary Miller, former president of the Virginia Horse Council and owner of a stable of 26 thoroughbred horses he races throughout the MidAtlantic region, believes Northern Virginia is the only logical site for a track. “Already 1 run miles and miles BEALETON, VA GUN SHOW OCT. 22-23 HUGO’S SKATING RINK SAT. 9-3, SUN. 9-4 $4.00 UNDER 12 FREE. W/ADULT BUY • SELL • TRADE LOCATED ON RT 17 BETWEEN WARRENTON » FREDERICKSBURG GUNS, KNIVES, MMTARIA Info: (703) 238-1343 up and down the road to Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware,” Miller said. “It’s going to be very difficult for somebody (a racing stable) to base themselves in Southeast Virginia and makes those trips. ” Supporters of Colonial Downs, the New Kent track, said for every two horses that come, three jobs will be created. But the fact that the new track will only offer racing about three months of the year also concerns Miller. “You can’t expect people to more in for 30 to 60 days and become a good part of the community,” he said. Colonial Downs will generate some jobs, he admitted, but nowhere near as many as would have been created with a full schedule of racing. “You really need full-time jobs so poel buy hones, raise their children, send them to school and do things in the community rather than moving in like a carnival.” Some rural Virginians have been lobbying for a horse track for years, believing it will boost their sector of the economy. That will happen, Miller said, but not as much as they had hoped. “If there’s demand for the (horse) breeding, then there’s bams to be built, there’s fences to be built, there hay and gran and veterinary services needed, he said. _ ; But without -a full-time track close enought to the rest of the MidAtlantic racing industry, he believes most stables won’t permanently locate in New Kent. Those horses that do come may be the second-rate ones, he added. Miller Chosen For Angus Convention J. Newbill Miller of Washington has been elected as a delegate to the 111th Annual Meeting of the American Angus Association, Nov. 13-15 in Louisville, Ky., reports Richard Spader, executive vice president of the American Angus Association. • Mr. Miller, a member of the American Angus Association with headquarters in St. Joseph, Miss, is one of 288 Angus breeders who have been elected by fellow members of their state association to serve as a representative at the Annual Meeting.

Spirit Week leads to Homecoming. / . Homecoming Activities Set An exciting weekend of activities is planned for Homecoming at the high school. Classes will be dismissed at 2 p.m. Friday so students can attend faculty-student basketball games. Both men’s and women’s games are being planned, but some of the women faculty say they are not sure they can field a full able-bodied team. Varsity players will referee these games. A Pep Rally and bonfire sponsored by the SCA is planned to begin at 7:30 Friday. This will be, among other things, a send off for the cross country team which will participate in an invitational meet at the Great Meadow near The Plains Saturday morning. The homecoming game itself will begin at 2 p.m. After years of soccer games for homecoming, this year the school is trying something new. The game will be coed tag football. Coaches Baltimore and Conklin are organizing this event, but the teams will have student coaches. At halftime there will be a parade of class floats and the Homecoming Court. The theme of the parade is “Summer Memories.” This activity is sponsored by the National Honor Society. Class representatives will be for eighth grade - Kristen Drew and Daniel Diggs; for ninth grade - Julie Atkins and Dean Payne; for 10th j grade Michelle Switzer and Jon Diggs; and for eleventh grade Michelle Collins and Willie Shanks. The senior class has two female and two male representatives. The students have voted for one of each to be Homecoming King and Queen, and the results will be announced at half time. The two girls are Veronica Myers and Trish Butler and the boys are Jonathan Maeyer and Paul Brown. SADD will be selling balloons during these activities to raise money for the After-prom party next spring. The weekend will conclude with the Homecoming Dance Saturday night from 8 to 11 p.m. The theme for the dance is “An Evening in Paris.” Graduates of RCHS are particularly welcome at these Homecoming activities. Committee Suggests Tougher Graduation Requirements i By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The committee studying the college preparatory programs at the high school recommended increased graduation requirements to the, School Board last week. They suggested students be required to take at least three credits in academic, honors or advanced placement English instead of taking general English. They also recommended a requirement that all take at least one credit in academic social studies, either advanced placement history, advanced placement government or sociology, economics or psychology. They recommended that two credits be required in academic science, rather than one credit. For those now trying to complete an a^demic program without necearning the advanced studies diploma they recommended they have to meet those same requirements by 1999. That would mean three, rather than two math classes at the level of Algebra I or higher, three years of a foreign language or two years of two languages, and one credit in fine arts. The committee 1 also recommended that at least two more advanced placement classes be offered, in government and chemistry and that honors English be piloted in grades 10 and 11 next year. They recommended that semester classes in sociology, economics, psychology, creative writing, humanities and drama become year-long classes. They suggested additional academic electives in journalism, debate/public speaking, German and/or Latin, and environmental science/ geology.They suggested block scheduling may be needed to implement some of these plans and requested an in-house curriculum Call tTfje ftappatjannorfe J}ctos at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos. specialist.

Rappahannock, Brentsville and Page are currently vying for the fourth position in the district. Mark Jenkins finished second overall, and Eddie Sause was third. Mike Wolfe finished 16th; Jeff Atkins was 24th, and R.J. White 25th, for a total of 70 points. Stonewall Jackson won the meet. Caroline Baumgardner, the only varsity female runner, came in eighth overall, and junior varsity runner Jessica Gheen finished seventh. In a meet with Luray last Monday, Eddie Sause and Mark Jenkins tied for third and fourth. Jeff Atkins finished sixth, Mike Wolfe was seventh, and R.J. White eighth. Rappahannock won the meet, 28-29. Caroline Baumgardner finished second overall. A home meet was to be held on Oct. 19 against Page and Clarke. This Saturday the team will participate in the Great Meadows Invitational in The Plains. Coach van de Graaff said that will give his team the chance to preview the course, where the state finals will be held on Nov. 12. The RCHS girls’ junior varsity and varsity basketball teams lost another couple of games apiece last week, but the scores were a lot closer than they have been. On Oct. 11, the varsity lost to Manassas Park by only three points. Coach Laura Conklin said that her team was down by one point with five seconds left in the game, but Manassas Park stole the ball and Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Nerissa Roberts gets ready to shoot in JV game. I PUBLIC HEARING AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 143 RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY CODE SOLID WASTE , On Monday, November 7, 1994, at 7:00 PM at the Courthouse in Washington, VA, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors shall hold a Public Hearing to consider the following amendments to Chapter 143 of the Rappahannock Couhty Code (Solid Waste): §143.3 Add definition of COMMERCIAL HAULER- any person or business which collects and disposes of solid waste for others in exchange for fees or other consideration. In §143-4 first paragraph, amend the fifth line of the first paragraph to read "Subsections A, B, D & E may be deposited...” Add E to §143-4 to read "Household, business or other solid waste collected by a commercial hauler." Any interested person is invited to attend and make comment. By Order Of: John W. McCarthy Cminty Administrator scored. “It was tight the whole way. Our girls played really well and I think we are pretty equal teams," said Coach Conklin. Susan Jewell was high scorer with 14 points. Janet Hitt had 11, and Jessica Arnold 10. “We did not lose, we were just a little bit behind when time ran out," said Coach Conklin. Brentsville beat the varsity team last Thursday night, 34-49. Coach Conklin said that the most amazing thing about this game was that she had asked her team to hold Brentsville to five points in the last quarter, and they held them to one point. “And he had in his top guns,” she said of the Brentsville coach. Coach Conklin said that they have changed their game, concentrating on defense instead of the total game. It seems to be working. They lost to Brentsville 24-50 last month. The junior varsity came close to winning their games last week, but lost both with scores in the teens. Coach Emily Wingate said she was missing two of her starters for the Manassas Park game, Erica Beaver and Holly Gangel, and that there were a lot of turnovers. She said that her team played really well against B rentsville, ‘like a team.” Holly Gangel was back after being out a couple of weeks and played a really good game. Coach Wingate said that Nerissa Roberts did a very good job of ball handling, and Dawn Havstad had a strong game. “We have never come that close to beating them,” said Coach Wingate. The next home games will be against Page Co. next Tuesday. The Cost of Quality Has Come Down.

►Council / From Page A-l ibes, Inc. The council voted to have Best do the termite work. Mr. Zumwalt also said that he had received a favorable audit which had been completed by Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates, CPAs, for the year ended June 30, 1994. He said that the auditors had several minor suggestions, and that there was too much paperwork, but that new software for the computer would simplify things. Brad Fisher has offered to teach the new software system, which he developed, to town employees, and wants to be paid for it. Mayor Willis said that would probably cost around $150. Mr. Zumwalt said that eight people showed up for the class oh water testing. Mr. Keynolds discussed a letter which he addressed to the council regarding rights of appeal and “aggrieved party” status. In part, the letter said, “It is possible for the town to vary to some degree the persons who are given the right to appeal, and the town may broaden the class of those who may be determined to be aggrieved, but it may not restrict those who may appeal beyond those granted the right either by state statute or by the federal or state constitutions.” , He said that zoning is a restriction on private property rights for the public good, and the issue really is who determines what the public interest is. He said that the people who have a right to appeal are those whose personal property rights have been infringed upon, and that “The Courts have, in zoning decisions, been nearly unanimous throughout the country that only those persons who have been substantially affected to the degree that the governmental decision unreasonably violates their constitutionally protected private property rights, have the right to appeal the decision.” Mr. Reynolds cited the case, Virginia Beach Beautification Commission v. Board of Zoning Appeals of the City of Va. Beach, et al., which states in part that “The petitioner must show that he has an immediate, pecuniary and substantial interest in the litigation, and not a remote or indirect interest...The word ‘aggrieved’ in a statute contemplates a substantial grievance and means a denial of some personal or property right, legal or equitable, or imposition of a burden or obligation upon the petitioner different from that suffered by the public generally.” Mr. Reynolds said that he feels that “only those persons who can demonstrate a clear and substantial claim of damage to a property or protected personal interest should be allowed to appeal a decision of the Town zoning boards." He also said that he thinks the definition of aggrieved should not be limited to town residents but include non-resident property owners. Mr. Eldred reported that Potomac Edison is now offering the PEMCO radial-wave lighting fixture, and that a sample fixture is due to be shipped on Oct. 24. Mayor Willis said that the new well house has been completed and is awaiting inspection by the engineers. He decided to put off discussing the water system until more information is available regarding the financial position. He is still awaiting word on whether the town has been approved for funds to pay for the most recent work done on the water system. Mr. Cntzer said that the extensions being done are to replace galvanized steel pipe. He said the pipe has been the problem in 95 percent of the failures of the water system in the past. He said, “If we don’t replace it, we will be repairing it.” Ed Barton asked when he can expect to have clearer water. Mr. Critzer informed him that it would be at least two months until the filtration system is working because of inspections that must be made of the system before it is put into operation. i Mr. Gooch moved that the council send a resolution of appreciation to Newbill Miller and to Janice Moffett, and that those both be published in the Rappahannock News. He said, “I don’t think anyone can question Mr. Miller’s dedication to the ordinances, the work of the council, and a very conservative economic philosophy. He served this town, he served this county, and I was just real sad to see him turn and walk out of this room without a single comment being made to say thank you very much for your service to Rappahannock County and the Town of Washington.” ( Mayor Willis said that he was disappointed that Mr. Miller left so quickly too, and that he had wanted to say some words. Mr. Gooch said that he didn’t think anyone had grown more on the council than Janice Moffett in the last four years;, and that he was really sorry to get her letter of resignation.

This will be at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 4 at the County Library. Mr. Hombostel is an attorney at Cameron and Hombostel, a firm specializing in work for the Republic of Brazil, and he will discuss developments in Brazil today. In the national election for president held Oct. 3 Henrique Cardoso, the former finance minister, won an outright victory, precluding the need for a runoff election. In the past three months he has helped stabilize Brazil’s economy, greatly reducing the unflation rate. Brazil is South American’s largest country, larger than th lower 48 United States. It is Portuguese speaking, and now economically development. However, about 100 million of its 150 million population live in poverty and the society is plagued by violence and corruption. Brazil’s natural resources and economic development over the last quarter of a century presage a prosperous future. Mr. Hombostel will explore for us the unique and little known characteristics of the nation so that we can better appreciate what we read and hear about Brazil as it assumes an increasing importance on the international scene. Peter Hombostal was born in New York, graduated with honors from Brown University in international relations and was a mber of the Columbia Law Review. After graduate work as a Fulbright Fellow in Vienna, Austria, Mr. Hombostel clerked for a New York U.S. Court of Appeals Judge. Besides the private practice of law, Mr. Hornbostel has worked in Brazil in the USAID mission and served as attorney in the Latin American Bureau of AID at the State Department in Washington, D.C. Peter Hombostel is fluent in Portuguese, German and Spanish. His current practice takes him to Brazil frequently and makes him probably one of the most knowledgeable American citizens on Brazilian affairs. Locally, he is the Chairman of the Board of Ki Theatre and appeared in Ki Theatre’s Christmas pagent productions. ►Katzen fi From Page A-l __. i for a number of years, and now the school has a waiting list and a lottery to determine which students can attend, he reported. In the public hearings, Del. Katzen reported the commission members were disappointed that few parents, other than those representing PTAs and PTOs, were attending the meetings. However, they still heard a variety of views. He said in Fairfax there was heavy, but not universal, opposition to using tax funds for vouchers for private or parochial education. People expressed hope lottery funds could be made available for public education, he said. In Wise County funds to reduce disparity between the richest and poorest school systems have gone into reducing class sizes, he said, and teachers there were happy about that. They also expressed hope there would be ■I more funding for technology. In Fairfax County people said they hoped if funds are earmarked to reduce disparity, the poorest school systems will also be required to increase local effort. He said one teacher reported pressure not to fail students while others said it was not a problem or they were resisting the pressure. Several parents asked for a return to the basics and instruction in phonics. Teachers reported they do not have enough time to teach the basics because of state requirements for various programs, he said. Parents are split between those who want to end Family Life Education and those who want to continue it, he added. Del. Katzen said the commission is looking into all aspects of education, everything from the cost of construction to the lack of federal financial support for mandated special education requirements. He said he expects the commission to have recommendations for legislation during the coming session of the General Assembly on school safety and discipline, disparity, and standards.

Lynn, Kravitz Earn Merit Awards Welby Lynn and Matthew Kravitz, members of the graduating class of 1995 at Wakefield Country Day School, have been named as commended students in the 1995 National Merit Scholarship Program. A letter of commendation was presented to each of the honored students at the school assembly on Wednesday, Oct. 12 by Head of the School, Malcolm Schantz. Commended students placed among the top five percent of the more than one million students who entered the 1995 Merit Program. Miss Lynn, the daughter of Mrs. William E. Lynn, Jr. of Washington, has attended Wakefield Country School for 13 years and is a talented artist, writer and pianist, winning the William E. Lynn Academic Award for the past three years. She will pursue a college degree in the classics. Mr. Kravitz is the son of Mr. and Cloud Earns Degree In August Dana Cloud was graduated from James Madison University in Harrisonburg with a BS in education and a major in office systems management.

He can trace his family roots back to Fluvanna County but he said his ancestors left Virginia for Kentucky shortly after the Revolutionary War. He admits his chances to win in a write-in campaign are “very remote” but said he got invqlved because “I believe both parties have lost the way and dropped down to partisan bickering. They are not getting anything done.” He said Sen. Charles Robb has been very ineffective in the senate and “I don’t expect North to be more effective. He’s very confrontational, not given to getting things done.” He believes the public wants officials to work to make government better and to make decisions by collaboration and consensus. “The electorate has to stand up and say this is the wrong direction,” he said.

Faith Mountain Company Is County Success Story By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Since 1977, the Faith Mountain Company has grown from a folksy storefront on Main Street in Sperryville to a multi-million dollar business. The county’s largest employer, now that the Aileen plant has closed, the Faith Mountain Company began as Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques in Sperryville. President Cheri Woodard had started by working with the late Florence Williamson, helping her grow herbs and make herb vinegars. She also learned to dry flowers. She opened her own store in part of a house she and her husband Martin Woodard purchased. They sold herbs, fresh and dried, arrangements such as wreaths and kissing balls made from herbs and dried flowers, and some country crafts. “We hoped it would pay the mortgage,” Martin Woodard said. At that time he had his own business as a stonemason. This was Mrs. Woodard’s second business venture. In the 1960’s she started and operated Beautiful Day, the first natural foods store in Washington, D.C. Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Joyce Bennett and Michelle Kaye keep the catalog handy while they talk with customers about phone orders. i Print courtesy of Middle Street Gallery The original print of this Jeff MacNelly poster will be included in the auction. Gallery Auction Scheduled The art auction that says something to everybody will be held for the second year in a row at Middle St. Gallery in Washington on Saturday, Oct. 29. The auction is divided into an all-day Silent Auction from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., where bidders can come and go as they please, and the Live Auction at 5 p.m., which carries the excitement of bidding on the most valuable collector’s pieces. If the pattern follows last year, bidders will walk away with some incredible bargains, according to auction co-chairperson Sally Walker. “Since this is the non-profit Gallery’s only fundraising event,” artists tend to be generous with the works they submit.” say says. “We have several pieces by some very famous artists,” according to Walker. The piece de resistance is “Reflections,” by world renowned sculptor Frederick Hart, creator of such national treasures as the Vietnam Vetemas Memorial and the ^reaiion iscuipiures me nauuiuu Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Hart’s grand themes and soaring metaphors are captured in “Reflections” as an intriguingly integrated physical countenance of a woman with the contemplative nature of her spirit. Through the translucent medium of clear acrylic, Hart has revealed her soul, and thus discovered the source of her beauty. The 16” piece will be offered in the live auction. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this piece will benefit preservation efforts in the Piedmont area. Another live auction offering is “Two Worlds,” a painting by Todd Siler, who lectured at Middle St. Gallery eariler this year. Considered one of this country’s most important contemporary artists, Siler has work in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, including The Museum of Modem Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Guggenheim Museum, The Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and The Pushkin Fine Art Museum in Moscow. The original piece of art created for the auction invitation by Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist Jeff MacNelly will also be “put on the block,” in addition to some of MacNelly’s exceptional fine art. “Eye on the Prize,” a humorous, forgiving, and insightful sculpture of a brightly-clad golfer by internationally-collected artist Philip Dunsenbury, will also be offered. “It was a real coup for us to get a recent dusenbury for auction,” says Walker. Collectors of Robin Purnell’s work will be pleased to note that the auction includes “Portrait of Larissa,” and oil painting of a Russian woman in Russian dress. utner art worKs m tne auction include paintings by: Sandra Forbush, Dan Lewis, Chris Stephens, Dieter Schellinger, Gary Green, Barbara Sherwood and Dale McEntire; sculpture by Rex Slack and Laurie Marshall; furniture by Jon Brandon; pottery and porcelain sculptures by Jeanne Drevas and Mary Schweder; bronze sculptures by,, Charles Defenbaugh and Roger Katchem; photography by Cindy Mahan and wood sculptures by Sandra Burton. In addition to the more valuable pieces, auction-goers will be able to bid on a “grandly eclectic variety of art objects,” says Walker. “This is all original, one-of-a-kind art workjewelry, pottery, pain tins, furniture, sculpture, and everything inbetween. Silent auction items range in price from just a few doller up, with something for every budget." An auction preview of the art work will be held at the Gallery from noon to 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 28. For more information call Sally Walker at 937-3638. They say they must come by the entrepreneurial spirit naturally. Both have parents who started their own businesses. The Faith Mountain Store developed a loyal following of customers who then asked if they could order things by mail, and so they started the mail order company. Mr. Woodard sold his stone masonry business to work full-time with the Faith Mountain Company. It has grown into a $15 million business. Business at the store grows each year also but not as quickly as the mail order business, and store sales now account for three percent of sales. Nevertheless both Woodards feel the store is a very important part of the business. Both agreed that although Mrs. Woodard is the President of the company and its spokesperson, it has always been a true partnership. Mr. Woodard’s title is now Vice President of Marketing and Merchandizing, but between them they do whatever needs doing. Mrs. Woodard said her husband is her “marketing genius.” There are also vice presidents for finance and operations. It’s a complicated business. The company now employs nearly 100 people, some part time, and many full time. Starting with the people who handle incoming calls, little is left to chance. The goal is satisfying the customer. To keep from having customers waiting on hold they have 48 incoming 800 number lines. They may have 2,000 orders a day. A computer keeps track of incoming calls to see if there is a backlog. If so another order taker will be added at that time. They have found that calls are especially heavy at 10 a.m. when working people are on coffee breaks and at lunchtime. “That is the voice of Faith Mountain as far as the customer is concerned.” —Cheri Woodard The people who handle the incoming calls have to also be able to answer questions about the products, so one of each item in the current catalog is located where they can see and examine it. The computer also keeps track of whether the caller is a new customer or one who has ordered before, and the people on the phones can make comments that give a personal touch. I ■ . 1 Cheri and Martin Woodard have a partnership. \ ■ Computer information systems manager Joyce Ralls labels computer cables in a room full of wires. Smithsonian Concert Series To Begin Next Weekend The Theatre at Washington and the Division of Musical History at the Smithsonian Institution will again jointly present “The Smithsonian at Little Washington” concert series. The first of four concerts will be on Oct. 29, with the remaining concerts scheduled for Dec. 3, Feb. 4 and March 18. The 1994-95 season is the third time that the concert series is being presented at the Theatre. The new series of concerts from the Smithsonian begins at 3 p.m. on Oct. 29 when two members of the Castle Trio, pianist Lambert Orkis and ’cellist Kenneth Slowik, will present an afternoon of solo and duo pieces by Johann Sebrastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven. Both performers are internationally renowned for their performances on period instruments, and their artistry is featured on the Smithsonian and Virgin Classics record labels. A pre-concert talk by Lambert Orkis “On Beethoven’s Pianos” begins at 2:30 p.m. Sopranos Judith Nelson and Amanda Balastrieri, with James Weaver at the organ and harpsichord, will give a recital of early carols and noels, mostly for the Baroque period, to launch the festive holiday season at 8 p.m. on Dec. 3. The program will be preceded by a talk by James Weaver, founding director of the Smithsonian Chamber Players. Marking the 300th anniversary of the death of Henry Purcell, The Smithsonian Chamber Players will give a recital of Purcell’s Fantasies for Viols at 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 4. Purcell is one of the seventeenth century’s and England’s, finest composers. Kenneth Slowik, will give a talk beginning at 3 p.m. on “Henry Purcell and Restoration England.” The Smithson String Quartet will return to the Theatre at 3:30 p.m. on March 18 with music of Mozart, Haydn and de Momigny. The concert will be preceded by a talk on “Period-Instrument String Quartet,” by Jappy Schroder. The subscription price for all four performances is $50. Remaining tickets for individual concerts, subject to availability, are $13.50 for advance reservations and $15 at the door. For more information or to make reservations write to The Theatre, P.O. Box 322, Washington, Va. 22747, or call 675-1253. About 65 percent of orders come in by phone, Mrs. Woodard said. The rest come in by mail. To fill those orders the warehouse area of the building is full of women who stock the shelves with merchandise received from the vendors and those who empty the shelves, packing boxes with customer orders. They are all wearing back braces to help prevent on-thejob injuries. The filled orders move on a conveyor belt to packers and mailers. The orders go out by UPS, Priority Mail and Federal Express, whichever is most likely to get the order to the customer the fastest. UPS provides a trailer which is backed up to the loading dock. Each evening a full trailer is taken away and an empty one left. Loaders see that the trailer is efficiently packed. The other trailer is for Priority Mail. The Faith Mountain Company purchased it, and it is full of carts that can be rolled off and onto a Postal Service truck. The Faith Mountain Company provides an unlimited guarantee. Dissatisfied customers don’t even have to send the item back. They call another 800 number, and Faith Mountain arranges to have the item picked up and returned. The customer can get a replacement or refund. Tony Woodard checks each returned item to see if it can go back on the shelves, something that was the wrong size for example, or if it is defective in any way. Then it may find its way to the store to be put on sale. Catalogs go out four times a year, fall, holiday, spring and summer. The weeks leading up to Christmas are by far the busiest season. To handle that the company starts in June ninng ana training aaditional people. Judy Cornwell is training supervisor. Training order takers is particularly critical, Mrs. Woodard said, because “that is the voice of Faith Mountain as far as the customer is concerned.” Most of the employees are from the county. Some start as high school students working after school and on weekends and become permanent employees when they graduate. Others go on to college, and their Faith Mountain experience impresses the colleges, Mrs. Woodard said. The company tries to promote from within and is engaged with the school system in educating employees for increasing responsibility by participating with Lord Fairfax Community College in offering courses at the high school leading to associate degrees. Employees also get tuition to attend relevant classes at Shenandoah University. Although the company has just sent out its holiday catalog, work has already begun on the spring catalog. Mrs. Woodward said they look at thousands of items trying to select those they will carry. That process is virtually complete for spring. Text is being written and arrangements for the photography are being made. If the business is to continue to grow the company must select items that will be successful sellers. Novelty sweaters and banners are increasingly successful, but Mrs. Woodard notes the company must attempt to outguess the buying public on whether those items will continue to be popular or suddenly drop in popularity. She said that Halloween things have become, next , to Christmas items, the biggest sellers. “It’s a fun holiday,” Mrs. Woodard said. , The marketing department is in the tower of the addition. They analyze how well each item does and try to target catalog mailings to bring in repeat customers. Then staffing must keep up with anticipated sales. What is next for the Faith Mountain Company? The catalog appeals to a niche market, Mr. Woodard said, “but it is a broad niche.” He said he believes there is room for expansion in the existing market and the increasingly complicated computer system will help them more fully exploit that market. “I like to try to make it the kind of company I would like to work at as an employee. We want to encourage people to excel.”i —Cheri Woodard They have postponed building i, the additional building that was approved by the Board of Supervisors when they bought 10 additional acres and received commercial zoning for it. They still plan to build there, but later, when it will put less strain on cash reserves. In the meantime it holds employee parking and a new drainfield. To take advantage of the infrastructure already in place and planned, they are considering starting or buying an additional catalog business, one that will bring in more spring and summer sales, perhaps focusing on gardening and summer outdoor activities. “I like to try to make it the kind of company I would like to work at as an employee,” Mrs. Woodard said. “We want to encourage people to excel.” “It’s been really exciting; it’s been good to us,” Mr. Woodard said. Not only is the company growing, it’s also becoming increasingly profitable. They operate on two mottos: “Manage for profit; build for growth” and “The customer is always right.” So far that has been a very successful strategy.

Fast Family Favorites Using Ground Beef By HELEN W. SMITH Kiimihwi Agent, Hom Economic* Since school is back in session, it seems that every parents I talk to expresses how busy and hectic there routine is again. Most families have at least one or more extra-curricular activies like basketball, soccer, cross-country, riding lessons, piano lessons, scouts, 4-H, karati, ballet, etc. And once that’s over, it’s home for dinner and help the children with their homework. So for my nutrition column this week, I decided to share information I just received from the Virginia Cattleman’s Association on ground beef and fast family meals. Ground beef is hard to beat when it comes to versatility and convenience. Tips: Ground beef packages are labeled according to U.S. Department of Agriculture standards and by supermarket preference. Lean to fat ratios vary; however, if a package is labeled ground beef, it must be no more than 30 percent fat. A bright, cherry-red color indicates fresh ground beef. However, fresh ground beef goes through a number of color changes during its i shelf life. A darker, purplish-red color is typical of vacuum-packaged ground beef or the interior of packaged ground beef or the interior of packaged ground beef which has not been exposed to oxygen. Once ex HOME ECONOMICS posed to oxygen, ground beef will turn from darked red to bright red. Store properly wrapped ground beef in the coldest part of the refrigerator (36 to 40 degrees F); use or freeze within two days. Ground beef can be frozen in its original transparent packaging for up to two weeks.1 For longer storage, rewrap ground beef tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil, freezer paper or plastic freezer bags and store up to four months at 0 degrees F or lower. Defrost ground beef in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth. Never defrost at room temperatures. , Wash hands with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meats. Also, wash utensils, counters, cutting boards and other sur Shenandoah River State Part Public F orum E.

Learn more about this treasure on the ^henandoah River and express your opinion on how it should he developed and managed. For more inlprmation on this public forum contact Shy Meadows State Parh V (703) 592-3556__ faces raw meat has touched. Do not overmix as patties, meatballs and loaves will have a firm, compact texture. Cook ground beef to at least medium (160 degrees F) doneness, or until no longer pink and the juices run clear. All forms of ground beef including patties, loaves, meatballs and crumbles should be cooked to medium doneness. It’s risky to eat rare ground beef because surface bacteria are transferred to the interior of the meat during grinding. Brush brown sauces such as teriyaki, Worcestershire or soy on the cooked surface of beef patties. When these sauces are mixed into the raw product, it is difficult to determine doneness. The following recipes are recommended by Cynthia Boggs, Home Economist with the Virginia Cattleman’s Association. Chili Meatloaf And Potato Casserole Total preparation and cooking time: 45 minutes. Two favorites - the flavors of the Southwest and meatloaf - comes together in a meal-in-one casserole. Meatloaf: 11/2 pounds lean ground beef 3/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/3 cup saltine cracker crumbs 1 egg, slightly beaten 3 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoon chili powder 3/4 teaspoon salt Potato Topping: 3 cups prepared mashed potatoes 1 can (11 ounces) whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions 1/2 to 1 cup shredded taco seasoned cheese 1. Heat over to 375 degrees F. In large bowl, combine meatloaf ingredients, mixing lightly but thoroughly; gently press into bottom of 9-inch square baking pan.

Spread over meatloaf to edges of pan; sprinkle with cheese. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat 3 to 5 minutes or until top is lightly browned; cut into 6 rectangular servings. Makes 6 servings (392 calories per 1/6 recipe). Easy Beef and Salsa Burritos Total preparation and cooking time: 25 minutes. Convenient prepared salsa, frozen spinach and shredded Co-Jack cheese help make this meal-in-a-tortilla 25 minutes quick. This contemporary burrito was inspried by a 1993 National Beef Cook-Off finalist. 1 pound lean ground beef 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin / 1/4 teaspoon ground salt ' 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, well drained 1 cup prepared chunky salsa 3/4 cup shredded Co-Jack cheese 8 medium flour tortillas, warmed 1.

To Our Valued Policyholders From Trigon Blue Cross Blue Shield And Its Affiliated HMO’s If you received services from a covered facility as defined in this advertisement during the period 1 1984 through 1993 and paid the coinsurance part of the bill, this letter is addressed to you. » ' ■ Trigon Blue Cross Blue Shield (formerly Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Virginia) has been proud to serve the citizens of Virginia for 60 years by providing cost-effective health insurance products and services. ; t ' In that spirit, we have entered into an agreement with the Virginia Commissioner of Insurance v and have received approval from the State Corporation Commission to offer the coinsurance refund program described below. Under the terms of this program, you may be eligible to receive a refund if you were a Trigon policyholder or a member of one of its HMO affiliates (Physicians Health Plan, Inc., HMO Virginia, Inc., HealthKeepers, Inc., and Peninsula Health Care, Inc.) who paid coinsurance on behalf of yourself or an eligible dependent for covered facility services during the period 1984 through 1993. The term policyholder means the named insured, subscriber, employee or member under a Trigon contract. For purposes of this program, the term covered facility means hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, psychiatric/substance or alcohol abuse centers and ambulatory surgery facilities, or other facilities that have been designated by Trigon as a participant in one or more of its provider networks. If you have any questions as to whether a particular facility is covered, you may telephone us at 1-800-451-1527 if you had a Blue Cross policy or 1-800-421-1880 if you had an HMO policy. For a number of years we have been negotiating discounts with covered facilities for their services. Trigon earns these discounts based on the substan&fl patient volumes and financial and administrative advantages that a relationship with Trigon brings to the covered facilities. The savings from these discounts have helped us to hold down premium increases, and in many cases, to lower them. This has been a significant benefit for all of our policyholders. Until 1994, Trigon calculated coinsurance based on the amount of undiscounted covered facility charges. “Coinsurance” is that percentage of the covered facility bill for which you are responsible, minus any amounts paid toward your deductible or non-covered services. It applies to those inpatient and outpatient covered facility services covered by your policy. As you know, it usually is a small amount compared to the total bill, and the amount you pay normally does not go above a set limit. The Virginia State Corporation Commission Bureau of Insurance has expressed concern that some of our marketing and informational materials were misleading and deceptive and that our policyholders may have misunderstood how their coinsurance payments were calculated. We agree that some of our policyholders were not aware that their coinsurance payment was calculated without applying the covered facility discount. Therefore, Trigon Blue Cross Blue Shield has agreed to this refund program for our customers. If you qualify, your refund will be determined by applying Trigon’s average percentage discount at that covered facility to your original coinsurance payment, plus interest at the legal rate of interest, compounded annually. If you would like to receive more information and proof of claim forms, telephone us directly at 1-800-422-4662. To file a claim, you must sign and send us a proof of claim form. This form will ask you to provide us with some basic information that will help us process your claim, such as: your ' name, address, policyholder ID number (this is usually your social security number), when and where you received services and the amount of coinsurance you paid. While not required, it may also help us process your claim if you include proof of your coinsurance payment by enclosing a covered facility receipt or cancelled check with your completed form. If you do not have a cancelled check or covered facility receipt you should provide us with your best estimate of the amount of coinsurance paid. Trigon reserves the right to verify payments from covered facility records. You have until December 7,1994 to send us your proof of claim. Tngon Blue Cross Blue Shield regrets any misunderstanding that may have arisen from our previous published materials relating to covered facility coinsurance payments. Our current policy is to base your coinsurance payment on actual negotiated rates, including any discount we may have negotiated. This way, we apply the savings from the discount at the time you pay the covered facility bill. VIn this rapidly changing health care environment, Trigon Blue Cross Blue Shield has worked hard to become one of the strongest managed care and wellness companies in the industry. Fortune Magazine recently listed Trigon among the Top 20 managed health care companies in the United States. And, we have received an “AA-” “excellent” claims-paying ability rating from Standard & Poors, an acknowledgment of our commitment to financial strength and cost-effective management. We are dedicated to offering our policyholders high quality, affordable and integrated health care and wellness services and products. Our goal is to serve you, our policyholders. This refund program demonstrates our continuing commitment to customer trust and satisfaction. NOTE: This Refund Program applies only to charges from hospitals and other covered facilities. It does not apply to coinsurance that policyholders may have paid toward services from physicians, hospitals or other facilities outside of Trigon’s networks, or charges for durable medical equipment, prescription drugs or dental services. •9TRIGON THgon BlueCross BlueShield For information about this refund program, call 1-800-422-4662. This program applies to inpatient and outpatient covered facility services covered by Trigon Blue Cross Blue Shield and its affiliated HMO’s policies during the period 1984 through 1993. This program does not apply to services covered under Medicare Supplemental products, the Federal Employee Program (FEP), amounts you may have paid toward your deductible or charges for non-covered services (such as TV rentals, guest trays, etc.).

Preparing for Frost By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Preparing the garden for frost now may avoid disaster and disappointment later. When the nights begin to reach 55 F, it’s time to acclimate your house plants to return indoors. Move them to a lower light area and bring them in at night. Most tropical house plants can be injured by low night temperatures that are well above freezing. Get Ride of Insects Before Moving Plants Inspect plants closely for insects and complete any pesticide spraying while the plants are still out-ofdoors. If a pot has been in contact with the soil, you may want to soak it in a bucket of water for several hours to drown any insects that may have entered the drain holes. Before taking the plants inside, clean the foliage and wash your windows to provide maximum light this winter. Remember, with lower light and cooler temperatures, plant growth will slow down, so less water and fertilizer will be required. begonias, coleus, geraniums and impatiens can be potted up and moved indoors for added winter color or cuttings' can be taken and rooted in a glass of water to make a fresh start of young plants. Protecting your chrysanthemums, marigolds and other flowers from the first light frosts may prolong their flowering period through the warn Indian summer that usually follows early freezes. If there are tender plants, such as tomatoes, in your vegetable garden that still hold an abundance of immature fruit when frost arrives, plan to cover them during the night. Start collecting baskets, burlap or canvas sacks, boxes, blankets or buckets to protect them from the frost. The warm days after the frost will mature some of the fruit as long as the plants have frost protection when needed. Pick These Vegetables Before Frost Summer squash, melon, eggplant, cucumber, pepper and okra are some crops that cannot withs tand frost and should be picked immediately prior to heavy frosts. Store the vegetables in a refrigerator until needed for eating or processing. Cool-season crops, such as cabbage, cauliflower, peas, broccoli and brussels sprouts can withstand some cold’ in fart, their flavor is often enhanced after a frost. They cannot stay in the garden all winter, but do not need to be picked immediately wheif frost comes. Kale, spinach, evergreen bunching onion, lettuce, parsley, parsnip, carrot and salsify are crops that may survive all winter in your garden. Mulch overwintering vegetables with eight inches of coarse organic matter to prevent soil heaving dut to frost. Most of these vegetables can be dug or picked as needed throughout winter into early spring. The average dates of the first killing frost in your area can be obtained from you local Virginia Cooperative Extension agent. Although these average dates can be used to determine when the first freeze is expected, weather systems and local conditions largely determine the exact date. Clear Nights With No Wind Mean Freezes Are Likely * The first freeze of autumn forms when the air is relatively cool the day before. Be wary of cloudy daytime skies that prevent maximum temperatures from reaching 66 F. Freezes are especially likely when these cool days are followed by a clear night with little or no wind. The clear night skies allow heat from the soil surface and plants to escape into space. Eventually, if there are enough hours of nighttime heat loss, plant temperatures will fall below freezing, usually just before sunrise. Since the ground and plant surfaces cool the most, wind helps mix warmer air from above, reducing the risk of a freeze. Likewise, cloudy skies at night reduce heat loss and freeze risks. j (Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.) Jack-O-Lanterns Are Joyful Any Way You Carve Them There’s nothing more beautiful, they say, than frost on the pumpkin, and there is nothing scarier than a ghoulish jack-o’-lantem flickering wickedly on the night of Oct. 31. There are many ways to create the jack-o’-lantem including painting faces on pumpkins (with nontoxic paints or crayons) rather than carving them. Many people find that painting a face allows a lot of creativity because the face can be frightening or funny and can even have a ted tongue hanging out of the mouth. When Halloween is over, every part of the painted pumpking can be used. The seeds can be roasted pumpkins shells make pretty candle holders. But the best part of the pumpkin is the pulp, said Ann Hertzler, Virginia Cooperative Extension food and nutrition specialist. “Most people think only of pumpkin pies,” Hertzler said. “But pumpkin bread, cake, muffins, and even pumpkin soup can be a delicious part of Halloween. “The jack-o’-lantem certainly shouldn’t be tosed away to rot in a landfill somewhere because it is packed with beta carotene and fiber.” Hertzler said many people still prefer carving faces into the pumpkin in the traditional manner. “In that case, they can buy an extra pumpkin for eating. Cooked pumpkin can be frozen (freezing it in ice cube trays is handy) and used on cold winter days to make muffins and breads. Pumpkin even makes delicous ‘sweet potato’ casserole. “Make sure your preschoolers are involved because they can use grandma’s old potato masher to turn pumpkin to pulp. And they can bake pieces of pumpkin in the oven and sprinkle it with cinnamon. ” Hertzler said these events can be part of a wonderful learning experience for children. “Just remember to keep the experience a safe one by not giving sharp instruments to them.” The traditional carving of the jack-o’-lantem was brother to America by English and Scottish settlers. One story sayd English folklore told of “Jack of the Lantern,” a night watchman whose soul was rejected by the devil. Caught between two worlds, his ghost was doomed to wander bogs and marshes, especially on All Hallow’s Eve, carrying an ember from hell to light his way. In Scotland and England, people carved faces into hollowed-out trumipcs, placed candles in them, and set them in windows. The flickering, threatening, faces scared away spooks until the dreadful night was past. Americans replaced turnips with pumpkins. “That’s fortunate,” said Hertzler, “because it’s probably easier to get children enthusiastic about creating and eating nutritious dishes with pumpkin than it would have been with trunips.” CMH Sponsors Forum On Breast Cancer October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
