Attorneys representing the county feel this is a substantial victory. The suit in state court has yet to be settled, and a motion to dismiss that will be heard December 5. The plaintiffs are expected to appeal the decision by Magistrate ( Waugh Crigler to the General District Court in Charlottesville later this month. The county will have an opportunity to respond to the appeal, and Neal Walters, an attorney working with George Gilliam, who is i representing the county in both suits, expects the appeal to be heard ( in mid January. i According to Mr. Walters and i Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter 1 Luke the issue boiled down to I whether the issue of the safety of I sludge is “reasonably debatable.” I Mr. Luke noted several other counts in the suit had already been 1 dismissed by Judge Crigler. The two remaining concerned whether the ( ban interfered with commerce and i whether it violated “substantive due s , process.” I) Both sides had presented evi- s dence in the form of written testi- t mony concerning the safety of sludge, newspaper articles on the issue and other case law including ;ases heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. At last Wednesday’s hearing, which lasted one and a half hours, they presented final arguments and the judge asked them questions. County Administrator John McCarthy said it was obvious from his questions that Judge Crigler had read the materials presented by both sides carefully and researched :he cases presented for his considerition. Mr. Luke 'said once the judge bund that the safety issue was debatable “the county was going to vin.” He said the plaintiffs “conceded it was debatable, but they vere saying it wasn’t debatable ■nough. The judge said it was ■learly debatable.” As long as the islue of the safety of the land applieaion of sludge is debatable, he said, he county had the right to enact the >an and “it was not a violation of eiher constitutional provision.” j Mr, Walters said, “We’re very lappy with the court’s ruling, rhere’s strong case law for what the ourt did. When a Federal court is isked to second guess a locality on a afety issue, their power is limited.” He said he expects to prevail on ppeal and the appeal will not open he entire case again.

I Town Council Considers Sewer System Fawn Evenson Selected for Planning Commission By CINDY MAHAN ( Rappahannock N»w» Staff Writer At last week’s Washington Town Council meeting, Ed Barton made a report on what he had found out about a sewer system for the town. He and Brad Fisher had been working on the project. He said that two engineers had done a feasability study and that they established that a number of septic fields were failing. He said that they recommended a system that would fit the town, and it would be easy to put in a gravity feed sewer system. The system would have a grinder that would grind effluent to a powder; and that would be pumped out when the tank got full. It would be pumped to a treatment plant at a lower elevation than the town, and Mr. Barton said that would possibly be across U.S. 211. He said the water would be potable and would be disposed of in the Rush River. The engineers could not give him a definite cost for this, but agreed the cost might be $3 million. Mayor Willis said that Mr. Barton and Diane Bruce are on the committee for the sewer system, and that he will ask Brad Fisher to join them. He said, “I will be on it too and I would like Steve Critzer to be on it too. I would like us to have a meeting and then come back to the Town Council and report.” Mr. Barton said the engineers seemed to know how the town could go about getting grants for the sewer system. Mr. Reynolds warned the council that “rats and developers follow sewers.” He said that by getting a sewer “Rats and developers follow sewers.” —Frank Reynolds system the town would be doing away with the single strongest argument for large lot zoning in the town. He said, “You will not be able to distinguish who can hook on. Mr. Critzer said with the designation of the Rush River for discharge, it would be difficult to get a permit to dump even potable water into the river. I Fawn Evenson was appointed to the town Planning Commission, by a vote of 4 to 3. Those voting for Ms. Evenson were Mayor Willis, Charlie Tompkins, Steve Critzer and Tom Zumwalt. Reinhardt Lynch, Ray Gooch and Peter Skowronski voted for Frank Scott. This was the first meeting for new council member^ Charlie Tompkins and Peter Skowronski. Peter Skowronski was elected to be the clerk of the Towh Council. He will be responsible for the minutes, and will be the attesting officer to signatures on town documents. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said that the minutes are extremely valuable; they should accurately reflect what happens at meetings. He said they are not the same as a transcript. Treasurer Tom Zumwalt said that there are several citizens of the town who have not paid their water bill for , many, many months. He asked what could be done to get them to pay, and wondered if their water could be turned off. Mr. Reynolds said that could be done, but those people would have to be given notice of the intention to turn off their water by a certain date if they \ didn’t make an effort to pay their hill. Mr. Zumwalt indicated that he would work with people if they were having trouble paying their bill. Charlie Eldred said that he had not received a sample light fixture for the town yet. Mayor Willis said only one proposal \ was received for the water system main tenance contract, and that was from Richard Compton. Mayor Willis said that he received a letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) noting the town’s application had been approved for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. He said, “Federally subsidized flood insurance is now available to local property owners and can be purchased from any property insurance agent or broker licensed to do business in the area in which the property to be in sured is located.” Mayor Willis also said, “Under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, flood insurance must be obtained by those seeking any form of federal financial assistance for construction or ac<|ui sition of buildings in the FEMA identified special flood hazard areas in the community."

This ban is expected to remain in effect until a significant amount of precipitation occurs. Precipitation totals must exceed one inch in order to remove the present danger. In addition a ban on all open flames in Shenandoah National Park is being implemented immediately. It will remain in effect until further notice, and prohibits all fires, including those built in fire grates, grills, 1 and portable stoves and in the park. Smoking will be allowed only in vehicles and in established parking areas. “The ban is being implemented in order to protect park resources and visitors, and the lives and property of park neighbors that have been place in jeopardy due to lack of significant precipitation the last few weeks,” said Park Superintendent J.W. Wade. “Warm temperatures, fresh leaf fall, and unseasonably low relative humidities have resulted in a significant increase in fire danger levels in the Park and elsewhere in the State.” i County Emergency Log The following fire and rescue calls were routed through the dispatch center during the past week: Nov. 7: 10:39 a.m., injury from a fall, Route 743, Fauquier, Amissville VFD.

Your precious words, your precious face, now walk through heaven's gates, and now as you sit around the throne, wr know that you are not alone. Although, we know one day we will all be together, today is one year, but it seems like forever. One year without your loving touch, your lender heart, we miss you so much. Each day we hurt, each day we think of how tragically you were taken. With a snap of llis finger or a twinkle of His eye, God needed you by his side. And now as we live through this loss, your memory lives on day by day. W> know your spirit will lead the way, all we can do is hope and pray that God will be near to help us through another year. Jennifer, today is one year since you have . ' been gone, we love and miss you. ' l-ove, k Mom, Daddy, Janie and J.D. «

The Theatre has really grown in popularity since she opened it about four years ago. Prior to that, the theatre was used mostly for RAAC movies, productions, community plays and talent shows. Most programs run just one night, usually Saturday, and are usually musical in nature. The theatre has excellent acoustics. Mrs. Weinberg said that some of the musicians come out before jthe performance to check the acoustics and are always satisfied. One of the most popular series has been The Smithsonian at Little Washington series, which is a branch of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Four concerts are planned for the 1994-95 season, and the first one was held on Oct. 29 with Lambert Orkis (fortepiano) and Kenneth Slowik (cello). Other concerts in the series will be sopranos Judith Nelson and Amanda Balastrieri with James Weaver playing the organ and harpsichord on Dec. 3; The Smithsonian Chamber Players on Feb. 4; and The Smithson String Quartet on March 18. A feature of these concerts is a pre-concert talk given by one of the members of the the group performing.

The black powder season for deer opened last Monday. On Tuesday Brian Orbaugh and a companion were hunting on Richard Settle’s property on Route 637 near Flint Hill. They had arranged to meet back at a three-wheeler at 11 a.m. When Mr. Orbaugh did not return, his Companion reported him missing. Game Warden Jim Bankston and Harry Newlin of the Virginia State Police organized a search. The Flinti Hill and Chester Gap Fire Departments were called in to help in the search. The search was called off at 1 a.m. Wednesday morning and resumed at 6 a.m. At 9:30 a.m. Mr. Orbaugh’s body was found with his muzzleloading rifle nearby. A dead deer was also near the body. The body was found by a dog handled by a member of the search and rescue team Dogs East. Mr. Bankston said he is assuming that Mr. Orbaugh died from an accidental self-mflicted wound. He said I: '• that the game department has to treat hunting fatalities as homicides until they are proven otherwise, but he believes something caused Mr. Orbaugh’s gun to go off. An autopsy conducted at Fairfax State Forensic Laboratory determined that the bullet passed through Mr. Orbaugh’s groih exiting through the buttocks. The bullet has not been recovered and probably u will not be, Mr. Bankston said. He said tests are being conducted on the gun and on Mr. Orbaugh’s clothes as part of the on-going investigation. He said there was heavy bleeding since the femoral artery and vein were severed, and it may not be possible to recover any powder from the clothes. “We don’t know if he stumbled and fell and the gun went off or if he used it improperly,” he said. He believes Mr. Orbaugh came upon the deer after the deer had been shot but while it was still alive. The deer’s wound broke its spine, he said. “We can never know for sure. It’s like reconstructing a puzzle. You have to put things back in order,” he said. He added tests on the weapon may show how it went off. in the Village ofSperryvill £4 November 25, 26 and 27 SPERRYVILLE Mk CELEBRATES A BLUE RIDGE CHRISTMAS NOVEMBER 25, 26 & 27 • Door prizes • Seasonal Sales • Country Specialities • Special Gift Ideas • Warm Hospitality • Catalog Overstock Sales • Free Refreshments • Christmas Cheer • Wreaths, Trees, Greenery • Country Christmas Decorations - From toys to apparel for the fashion-minded country lady^ from local country hams to handmade gifts, and of course one of Virginia's largest collections of antiques, Sperryville HAS IT ALL!

Currently property owners who are elderly or disabled and who have limited incomes and limited real estate other than their homes and one acre ar^ exempt from real estate t axes. The limit on incomes is $12,000 and the limit on other property is ($75,000. The program reduces the taxes collected by the county by approximately $20,000. County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins said because of cost of living increases in social security, some ■ people who had been eligible were no longer eligible, but weren’t substantially better off financially and more able to pay the taxes. He suggested they consider raising the income ( , limitation. The board agreed to review the program at the December meeting. t Several other counties provide tax relief for the elderly and disabled on limited incomes but use a sliding scale for income and other property and for the percentage of taxes exempt. The county should consider such an Approach. , The county may have made a mistake in making some taxpayers entirely exempt from real estate taxes. By leaving the limitation on income where it is for 100 percent exempt and setting a higher income limitation, for example household income between $12,000 and $14,500 would be\90 percent exempt, the county could gradually adopt such a sliding scale without dramatically reducing taxes collected in unpredictable ways. Another step could be adopted for property that is 75 or 80 percent exempt in another year, with perhaps the highest at 25 or 30 percent exempt. Following the next assessment, the county could also consider creating a sliding scale for the value of property owned other than the house and one acre, but still avoid making this basically humane program excessively complex. The ToWer Again There is a strong possibility a tower will be put up behind the Rappahannock Farmers’ Co-op which will serve the needs of Cellular One, the Sheriff s Department dispatch center the the Co-op itself. If this comes to pass the sheriff will keep his current tower in town for emergency backup. This is a much better location for a 250-foot high tower than the one proposed for the Town of Washington. It will be somewhat screened from public view by the Co-op building itself. It will be located on commercially zoned land, and it can also serve the needs of the Co-op which dispatches its own trucks to spread lime and fertilizers. The Co-op’s board of directors has to approve an agreement with Cellular One. A vote on this is set for late this month. Everyone involved deserves the; county’s thanks for finding a sensible solution to the problem of location for the tower. "..so Dorothy. uh..where's the RIO tower of Oz? I mean. I don’t see anything very impressive down there!"

President Bob Darby spoke for all members of the Rappahannock Lions Club when he expressed appreciation for the outstanding support we have received from friends in the community this year. He was addressing a large group of nearly 300 who attended the Draw Down Raffle Party at the Lakewide Club near Culpeper on Nov. 5. For the second year this new fupd raising event proved to be a great success, both financially and socially. The food was excellent, the dance music was varied and popular and the 150-number draw down raffle was exciting, especially for tht last three winners who were left to split the $5,000 grand prize. A total of $925 in cash was paid out to lucky winners as door prizes and drawings of every tenth number through the game. Party Chairman Guy E. Foster III (“Butch” to us) deserves special recognition for the fine job he managed, well supported by his parents, Carol and Guy and his wife Karen. When all expenses have been paid a net profit of about $4,000 will be added to our program budget including profits from the annual Auction, the July 4th Lion Cafe sales and the production and marketing of what Chairman Carson Johnson and the “old-timers” have judged to ‘be some of the “best Apple Butter we’ve ever made." The members of the Lions Club have worked hard to earn the funds to maintain this year’s program budget. It has been a good year. The Directors and members of the Rappahannock Lions Club greatly appreciate all the loyal and generous support that will permit us to continue providing all of our special services to our community. BOB SCOTT Castleton Memories of Rock Mills To the Editor: There have been two recent letters regarding the naming of roads around Rock Mills. They appear to have been prompted by the statement my husband, Richard made at a hearing on county road names. Mr. Floyd Grigsby who WTote the first, and Mr. Ross Rottier who wrote the second, appear to have misunderstood what my husband, Richard, said at a supervisor hearing. Richard believes that county road names should be the familiar ones that have been used for the last forty or fifty years. He also said that if the Jericho Road was named the Poe Road, then maybe the road at Rock Mills should be named after the Settles, noting their long-time history and the three Settle cemeteries. He was not actually saying that a road should be named after the Settles. He was just saying that the case for a road named “Poe” was not unique. He certainly didn’t intend to start a debate about w’hether Rock Mills roads should be named after the Grigsby, Pawleys, orSettles. We have foud memories of Rock Mills and the Pawleys. When I came to this county in 1957, on Saturday night we went to Pawley’s store where the, local musicians played, and we danced on the store porch. They always played “Red Wings’" for Mrs. Pawley because she loved it so much. ' Other fond memories of Rock Mills are gathering at Harry Settle’s " on Shnday where his wife, Rosie cooked for at least thirty people, and had that many different dishes. Everyone seemed happy and congenial. Usually some Grigsbys were there too. Incidentally Richard’s step-father was Dudley Grigsby, Floyd’s uncle. My husband feels nostalgic about Rock Mills, where he spent his boyhood along with the Grigsby and other Settle boys swimming in the river. Because of this and Mt. Salem Church, he and our grandson were baptized at Rock Mills this summer. We also enjoy all of the magnificent creations of the almighty, including his people. Too bad there was a misunderstanding. Perhaps this misunderstanding would not have occured if Mr. Grigsby or Mr. Rottier had talked to us. In any case we regret it and hope the affair is over. \ ESTER SETTLE Sheriff's Dept. Thanked To the Editor: The families of Rappahannock are most fortunate to have the assistance of the Rappahannock Sheriff s Department. One instance is the availability of the department to assist in traffic control and escorting families during funeral processions. When other small localities have started to charge for this service, we, in Rappahannock, are able to receive these services without additional charge. Because of their assistance, this helps alleviate families from undo worry at their time of loss. Thank you to Sheriff Woodward, all officers, deputies and dispatchers for all their help in the past and future with this unrecognized service. SAM AND SCOTT FOUND Found & Sons Funeral Home Culpeper Job Loss Serious To the Editor: Economists predict that by the year 2010, the unemployment rate may soar to an alarming 20 percent. The present downsizing of major industries, buy-outs of the federal government employees and deep slashes in the military budget should be a valid reason to wake up and smell the coffee. I was shocked at the reception Disney got in Prince William County by an organized minority. While they were small, they were monied and well funded. While Disney, stunned by the vicious attacks of vocal locals, simply abandoned the theme park and abandoned all future theme parks. The Commonwealth of Virginia was dealt a devastating blow that rocked its economic well-being to the core. A good example of what happens when there is no industrial basb and wall-to-wall residences can be seen in Prince William County today. Homeowners are carrying a topheavy county government in a sluggish economy when sales in all big ticket items are cjown. Should job losses of these homeowners occur due to cutbacks and layoffs, there are few job nets in the county and their options at best are working at McDonald’s, clerking in stores, or shoveling manure on the horse farms of the people that ran Disney out. This, in turn, diminishes buying power and one by one stores close. lrouoie spots worldwide are the result of joblessness and lack of industry. A new leader will not resolve the problem we see in Haiti today—jobs and industry are the solution. On the other end of the equation, look at Japan, its booming economy is bursting at the seams. Boris Yeltsin came begging on his knees for corporations and industries to come to Russia. Had Disney gone to Yeltsin with their $650 million package, Disney’s America would be showcased in Moscow. The dwindling industrial base has diminished the need for high tech, with IBM layoffs now’ totaling 64,000, Xerox cutbacks at 10,000 locally; and the red flags are flying. The solution is jobs, jobs, and more jobs. To gloss over the loss of Disney is to dwell in a never, never world. Never will such a golden win-win venture fall in the lap of any county in the Commonwealth of Virginia, because such opportunities seldom knock twice. Those responsible for this loss must be viewed with a jaundiced eye for undermining the economy of the Commonwealth, and they should be held accountable. In the meantime, crime is rising, drugs are a major industry, prisons are full, taxes are going through the roof, and job markets are dwindling. Is all this scary? I think so. Perhaps if more people get scared enough, they will wake up and at least smell the coffee. LILLIAN DRURY Haymarket The time m< From the Rappahan 30 YEARS AGO Nov. 19, 1964 C.M.

Party of Virginia, I would like to-! thank all the poll workers at each ; precinct polling place for their tireless efforts on Nov. 8 to elect our candidates for Senate and Congress, Oliver North and Frank Wolf. Many of them gave their entire day and others gave part of their day to campaign for the Republican ticket. As everyone knows, North did not win the state; but he did v^in Rappahannock County. And the ef- ' forts of the poll workers are largely • responsible for these victories. The enthusiasm they have shown this year will ensure victories in future elections. I urge you to keep yourselves involved and abreast on the. critical issues that face our nation. Again, thanks so much for you help. RON FRAZIER Chairman, Rappahannock County Republican Committee Environment Radicals? To the Editor: Mason Gardener claimed in his Nov. 9 letter that it was “environmental radicals who ran Disney’s American out of Prince William County.” Does he really label half the residents of Prince William as “environmental radicals?” The University of Virginia Center for Survey Reserach, in a Prince William County citizen survey released in October, reported that “The ‘Disney’s America’ project was not very frequently mentioned by our respondents in their open end responses. Those who mentioned the project were split between persons favoring and persons opposed to it.” This confirms early results from another study that was terminated upon Disney’s departure; those results suggested that Disney stood about 50-50 in Prince William, but was overwhelmingly opposed by the rest of Northern Virginia. ROBERT T. DENNIS PEC President, Amissville achine nock News bock when: 10 YEARS AGO Nov. 22, 1984 The Washington Town Council had a larger audience than usual at its meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 14.

County Party Chairman Pleased With Candidates' Vote Here By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Both county party chairmen are satisfied with how their candidates did in Rappahannock last week. “We expected to win the county,” Republican Party Chairman Ron Frazier said. “We took the three mostly Republican precincts and came close in Sperryville and Washington.” However, he added, “I was a bit frustrated that so many good friends and neighbors joined in the Robb campaign of distortions and lies. Earlier we fully anticipated North would beat Robb. In the last days there were too many monkey wrenches in the works-the unholy alliance between Wilder and Robb, a somewhat split Republican Party with Coleman, the continued Iran Contra drag. There are too many things to put a finger on one thing.” He said he did not believe the nomination of Oliver North cost the Republicans the senate seat. He noted that North carried some congressional districts lost by Republican candidates who were challenging incumbent Democrats. Jim Miller did not have North’s fund raising ability, he noted. “We couldn’t get the wine and cheese crowd Republi can voce, our leu wing, me vvarnei wing,” he added. “Rappahannock is so small. We meet each other in the general stores. It was so sad to see , the negative ads the Democrats ran in the paper. It’s not like Fairfax where you can get lost in a crowd oi 800,000.” County Democratic Party chairman Kent Reeve said, “Chuck Robt won because of questions people had about the character of Oliver North. I personally think another Republi can would have beaten Robb.” Mr. Reeve worked as an election judge in Sperryville. He said the North campaign strategy was to give up on the city vote, the black vote and the Northern Virginia suburbs and concentrate on winning in rural areas. “I was pretty pleased with Rappahannock County,” he said. “I felt all along that North had to win big in rural areas to win, and our job was to keep him from winning that big vote. When I saw that Robb won in Sperryville, I thought North was in trouble.” The two precincts these men live in had the largest percentage turnout last Tuesday. In Amissville and in Sperryville 75 percent of the registered voters cast ballots in the U.S. Senate race. Flint Hill had the next largest turnout with 73 percent voting and Scrabble followed with 72 percent voting. In Washington and Chester Gap 68 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the senate race. Former Governor L. Douglas Wilder received four votes in the senate race, all in the Scrabble precinct. Virgil Goode received one write-in vote in Washington. In the election for the 10th District member of the House of Delegates, Dennis Bybee received two write in votes. Mr. Bybee was running as a write-in candidate for the senate seat, ndt the House of Representatives and does not live in the 10th District. Also Lee Bird received two write-in votes for the House of Representatives and Marion Sharp received one. Of the overall Republican victory in Congress, Mr. Reeve said, “Republicans have gotten elected by making promises they can’t fulfill. They will be swept out in two years by an electorate that wants something neither party has been able to deliver, lower taxes with increased government services, smaller government that keeps on doing all the things they want. It’s a contradiction.” Mr. Frazier, on the other hand, sees the Republican victory as a prelude to a Republican takeover of both houses of the General Assembly in 1995. He believes the Republican Congress will approve term limits, but they “will probably not be retroactive.” Thus Congressman Frank Wolf, who just won his eighth term, will be able to serve five more. “I can’t see either party cutting itself out,” he said. There won’t be much hard work for Mr. Frazier in a Republican takeover of the General Assembly since both Rappahannock’s state senator, Kevin Miller, and its representative to the House of Delegates, Jay Katzen, are Republicans. Sen. Miller has already said he will seek another term. Del. Katzen has not made an announcement, but he is expected to announce his interest in another term. Mr. Reeve said he does not know what the Democratic Party will do about these seats. “We w ill be active and looking for candidates,” he said. “One problem either party has in finding candidates is money,” he added. “Jay (Katzen) has been an effective campaigner, but he has been ineffective down there (Richmond). I don’t know whether the voters can recognize that.” ( The 1995 election will also involve the county’s constitutional officers, members of the Board of Supervisors and the first election of School Board members. 1 The Writer's Art ’ !i i i - i i • i: ii ‘ Not So Funny In The Funnies • I JAMES J. KILPATRICK Universal Press Syndicate * In the Mark Trail comic strip a few months ago, Mark was explaining “baleen.” It is a fibrous material, he said, that functions as a strainer “seperating” food from water. Why can’t comic artists spell? Why can’t their editors spell? The word is “separating.” Even artists ought to know that. The funnies, as they used to be called, are prepared well before publication. Does anyone read the copy in advance? It doesn’t look that way. In Curtis we find “one’s for “ones.” In Outland, we find “who’s” for “whose.v’ Cathy fears that she is committing “romantic sabatoge.” Funky Winkerbean confuses “affect” and “effect.” Rex Morgan spells the little rodent “hampster” instead of “hamster.” Grumble, grumble, grumble! Why do so many people misspell so many words? I’m not talking about the misspelled words in personal letters. I’m not even talking (yet) about misspellings in the news columns. Today’s gripe has to do with errors that can’t be charged against a careless reporter. Classified ads are the worst offenders. The Indianapolis Star carried an ad for a proofreader: “Must have good grammer skills.” An Indiana country club sought a sous chef: “Experience with new quisines a plus.” Give someone a minus! Such blunders abound. In Buffalo, a cat lover sought the return of his tortuous calico cat. In Grants Pass, Ore., a dog lover sought a home for a Hines 57 pup. Let us surmise that the cat was tortoise and the dog was Heinz. In Abilene, Texas, a homeowner advertised a glass-top dining table with rot iron legs. They’re the sturdiest kind. The Rock Hill (S.C.) Herald offered a console organ with full petals, possibly for flowery music. A damsel in distress put an ad in the Bryan-College Station Eagle in Texas. She has lost a circular pin fashioned of red and clear crystal. The piece of jewelry had simmental value. Holy Cow! The Seattle Times carried an ad for a garage sale that sounded irresistible. Among the pieces of furniture was a hand-carved mid-evil style bedroom set. In between sins? Advertisers pay good money to promote their wares. You would think they would proofread their ads. But here is Publishers Choice, for heaven’s sake, promoting a book that will help us break bad grammer habits. And these people sell books! A jeweler in Montrose, Pa., offers “all new necklesses.” A grocery in Portsmouth, Ohio, offers “hydrophonic cucumbers.” In Pensacola Beach, Fla., one may go to the Bushwhacker for a champaign Sunday brunch. In Renton, Wash., a store specializing in audio equipment offers a preamplifier “for the most decerning audiophile. ” Where was the discerning eye that should have marked corrections? The advertisers were promoting necklaces, champagne and hydroponic cucumbers. A research outfit in Washington also was concerned with NAFTA. The agreement “has already begun reeking havoc on Capitol Hill.” Cpme on! The agreement may have had drawbacks, but it wasn’t reeking. It was wreaking. One of the many Washington or^ ganizations involved in pending legislation is the American Council for Health Care Reform. You would think these folks would have no problem with words they use every, day, but they sent out a miailing that included the names of the recipient’s • i “concessional deligation.’1 Call the deli! Two ham and ryes and a pickle! Almost every word-processing program has a spell-check device. The devices are mixed blessings. Spell-check wouldn’t have flagged “reeking” or “wreaking.” It wouldn't have caught the organ with petals or the rot iron legs. For writers who have trouble with spelling, the best advice I can offer is to develop a keen sense of That Doesn’t Look Right! When the sense is triggered, the next step i.-- to look up the uncertain spelling. ”nat is why God and Dr. Johnson ga\ e us dictionaries. We ought to use them more often.

J Varied Voting Machines In Use By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer It was past midnight when the final vote tallies came in from Washington last week. Although this precinct has the largest registration at 760, it did not actually have the largest vote. With 526 votes east in the election for senate out Of 698 registered, Amissville had a larger vote than Washington with 519 votes in thq senate race. Counting these paper ballots is time consuming. However, state law does not require that the county switch to voting machines. It is ultimately up to the Board of Supervisors to act on such ;i proposal, if it comes from the county's Board of Elections. According to Michael Brown, head of the State Board of Elections, precincts with 750 or more registered voters should have two machines. Those under 750 can make do with one. There are four types of voting machines in use. The mechanical machines are still being usijd but ire not bein^ made any longer, Mr. Brown said. “These machines are obsolete,” he added, noting that they are heavy and difficult to set up, while one person can set up ma chines using newer technologies. However, reconditioned mechanical voting niachines are available, at a cost that ranges from $1,000 to $2,000 per machine, he said. Newer technologies include punch card ballots and punch card i reading machines, which are used in a number of Tidewater jurisdictions, and all electronic machines that are like computers. A number of Northern Virginia jurisdictions use this type, Mr. Brown said. j A still newer technology that was testpd for the first time in the 1094 election is called “mark sense." Bal lots are ; marked by darkening in ovals, something like taking standardized tests. He suggested a county switching from paper ballots to machines should not plan to switch one precinct at a time, because voters in areas still using paper ballots will feel discriminated against. The state recommends that the county make the switch all at once. He noted that we are living in an age of instant communications, and as soon as the polls close, many people exf>ect the results to be available. 1 Come See These Living Color Not just t,he usual.

7 ►Court From Page A-l 9 ! convicted felon; possession of cocaine; and possession of cocaine while in possession of a firearm. Roger Lawrence Baumgardner, •Jr., 35, of Walkerville, Maryland, w as indicted for grand larceny. He is charged with stealing lumber last May from Phillip'Terrell in Castletpn. Susan (Eaton) Warren, 48, of Sperrvville. was indicted for possession of a firearm while a convicted felon. . Samuel L. Robinson, 25, of Warrenton, was indicted for failing to appear for a felony trial. He was to be tried on August 18, but when he didn’t show, Nov. 17 was set as a new trial date. Because of difficulty se rving papers to witnesses for this ease, the trial has again been postponed. and will take place on Jan. 19. Mr. Robinson is incarcerated in the Rappahannock County Jail. Leonard Morgan Eppard, 30, of Washington, who was tried and sentenced to 40 years in the Departs ment of Corrections on Oct. 25 for aggravated sexual battery and sodomy, was in court to see Judge Carleton Penn, who had heard his case on Oct. 25. Judge Penn was in court just for the Eppard case; Judge W. , Shore Robertson heard all the other cases on Term Day. Mr. Eppard told Judge Penn1 that he wahted to withdraw his pleas of guilty, which led to a plea agreement « with the Commonwealth and his trial and sentencing on Oct. 25. He said that he and his attorney, T.C. Lea, had had some differences, and that he was under the impression that he would be eligible for parole after three years and ten months, but that he has found out since that it would be 14 years before he is eligible for parole. Apparently there were some misunderstandings between Mr. Eppard and his attorney. When he agreed to a plea agreement and waived a jury trial, Mr. Eppard said that he was “just confused and wanted to get it over with.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that the standard for withdrawing a guilty plea is to show manifest injustice, and that can be only when the Commonwealth failed to hold up its end of the plea agreement. He said,' “There has been no showing of manifest injustice in this case.” Judge Penn said, “The court is of the opinion that the concern expressed by the Commonwealth’s Attorney is well taken. It is the view of the court that evidence should be under oath.” Judge Penn then set up an evidenciary hearing in the case for Nov. 21. Jake Thomas Taylor, 35, of Washington, was sentenced to five years in the Department of Corrections for the manufacture of marijuana not for his own use. Mr. Taylor was found guilty in August and is incarcerated in the Rappahannock County Jail. He also must pay for the cost of his prosecution, Mr. Taylor’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Roy Bradley, argued that Mr. Taylor had only grown enough marijuana for himself and to give his friends, and that he had not grown it for selling. “This was more to do with sharing with friends than being a greedy SOB,” he said. Mr. Luke said, “Your honor, you heard all the evidence. The Commonwealth believes that due to the quantity of apparatus apparent in this case, the manufacture was such that it was not for his own use. The Commonwealth believes that the prison midpoint of five years and two months is consistent with what has been sentenced in past similar cases.” Mr. Taylor said that he will appeal. Donna Sue Jackson, 28, of Amissville, was in court to show cause why she should not have her probation revoked for failing to comply with her conditions of probation. Ms. Jackson had previously been convicted of four counts of forgery and is in the CDI program with strict probation, in lieu of incarceration. i On Sept. 22 she submitted a urine specimen for drug testing, as a condition of her probation, and it tested positive for cocaine and marijuana. She did not have an attorney with her in court on Monday and filled out forms for a court-appointed attorney. She will be back in court on Dec. 1. A capias remains outstanding for Tony Capies, 28, of Washington, D.C., who had been released from the Department of Corrections in September, 1992 on probation. He had been sentenced to five years for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He has failed to pay court costs of $529.50 plus interest. f I Hunters Can Help the Hungry I . ■ With the opening of the general (ieer season on Nov. 21, nearly MOO,000 hunters will be taking to the woods of Virginia.

So Far Tipping Fees Are Paper Shuffling Exercise for County By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The $43 per ton tipping fee for trash adopted by the Board of Supervisors last week is merely a paper-shuffling exercise. The county had to create an Enterprise Fund to retire the debt on $1.62 million worth of bonds issued by the Virginia Resources Authority to construct the new cell and purchase scales for the landfill. Trash taken to the landfill will be weighed, and for every ton of trash, $43 will be transferred from the county's general fund into the Enterprise Fund. At the same time the county adopted changes to the County Code to add a definition of “commercial hauler.” Last month the supervisors reaffirmed a policy that commercial haulers cannot use dumpster sites and must take trash to the landfill. Amending the code to include a definition of “commercial hauler” was needed to make the policy enforceable,” County Administrator John McCarthy said. At test month’s meeting there was also discussion of changing commercial haulers a tipping fee as is generally done in surrounding jurisdictions. This month the supervisors did not make a decision on that, however. The primary commercial hauler in the county is Community Trash, which also has the contract to service the dumpsters and operate the landfill. Mr. McCarthy said the supervisors could wait until closer to the June 1 date for opening the new cell before making a decision on that. Since the tipping fee adopted by the supervisors only repays the debt and does not cover costs for operating the landfil, they may even charge a1 higher fee to commercial haulers. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham, who manages Fauquier County’s landfill, said that in Fauquier County only private home owners are allowed to use the conve-1 nience sites and all others are required to use the landfill and pajf tipping fees. “Is it fair to ask the homeowner to subsidize the grocery store?” he asked. Clerk Diane Bruce said the discussion of charging businesses and commercial haulers is based “on the supposition we created the landfill only for residences, not businesses. We want friendly businesses and clean businesses.” Mr. McCarthy noted Rappahannock County unlike most counties does not tax businesses. There is ndt a business license tax, merchants capital tax or machinery and tools tax. He said, “They’re not being hit in any material way.” He said that most businesses pay to have commercial haulers handle their trash and a tipping fee generally adds from 15 to 20 percent to the cost of that. AFT Looks for Farm Bill That \. . ' • . Preserves Strategic Farmland American Farmland Trust recently challenged the Administration and new Congress to enact a 1995 Farm Bill that would establish a market-oriented national agricultural conservation policy providing significant economic incentives for farmers to “produce environmental quality” and permanently protect the country’s strategic farmland. AFT a national farmland conservation group based in Washington, said tis proposed policy would: • Protect the nation’s best, unique and most productive farmland from suburban sprawl; ' • Minimize agriculture’s impact on environmentally sensitive lands; and • Promote an efficient and environmentally sound agriculture system that enhances farm productivity and conserves national resources. The group said its farm bill proposals are designed to reduce risk to farm incomes, the environment and future agricultural capability and miximize the benefits to society. “The public increasingly believes it is no longer enough that the nation’s farmers produce a higher quality. more abundant and less costly food supply than any other farmers in the world,” observed AFT President Ralph Grossi, a third-generation rancher from northern California. “Today, farmers are expected to produce other producets—such things as scenic open space, wildlife habitat, wetlands, watershed protection—that they certainly can provide if they afe given the incentives to do so. By compensating farmers for the environmental products taxpayers want, we can capitalize on the changing expectations of American society and create a public-private partnership that enhances both environemtanl quality and farm economics.” AFT said is had keyed its farm bill recommendations to the type of farmland—strategic, environmentally sensitive, and all other—and the environmental products they produce. It indicated sufficient savings from existing programs would be generated to fund its proposals. AFT recommended some incentives go to states to permanently protect farmland through the Farms for the Future Act. AFT said strategic farmland had unique or special value for the production of food and environmental quality because of its location, soils, climate or other characteristics. AFT said too much of this farmland now faces significant urban growth pressure and must be protected before it is lost forever. “ AFT further proposed the consolidation of environmentally sensitive farmland areas into a comprehensive environmental reserve. The reserve would proect such areas (wetland, highly erodible lands, stream corridors and the like) with conservation easements and other medium-and long-term stewardship agreements. AFT said the existing Conservation Reserve, Wetlands Reserve and Annual SetAside programs would form the basis for the new reserve. More broadly, AFT called for additional incentives to help farmers conserve natural resources and protect the environment. Specifically, AFT wants to link farm programs benefits to the implementation of natural resource management plans. The plans would comprehensively address soil erosion and pest and nutrient management while taking into account the constraints of climate, land, markets and farmer needs. The plans also would provide farmers the tools to more efficiently address such issues as nonpoint source pollution and the protection of endangered species. “For too long in agriculture, we have been content with defending the status quo,” observed Grossi. “We can no longer afford to do so. As discussions are initiated over the 1995 Farm Bill, the agricultural community should be challenged by the changing expectations of society as an opportunity to build new partnerships and create a new base of political support that could extend well into the next century.” American Farmland Trust is a national nonprofit membership organization working to stop the loss of productive farmland and promole farming practices that lead to“ a healthy environment. AFT’s National Office is at 1920 N. Street, N.W., Suite 400, Washington, D.C. 20036. \ ' If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others.'

President Ahtisaari was accompanied by Mrs. Ahtisaari and Ambassador of Finland to the United States Jakka Valtasaari and Mrs. Valtasaari. Katja was chosen to represent YFU Finnish exchange students in the U.S. this year. With some nervousness and great aplomb she talked to the group in both Finnish and English and was interviewd by a Finnish TV station for a broadcast back home. > During his visit to YFU, President Ahrisaari met with other high school exchange students from Finland and their American host families, YFU Trustees, volunteers, staff and members of the local Finnish community. Also in attendance was the National Chairperson of YFU Finland, Ms. Eeva Eklund, and the National Director, Mrs. Silja Pajukka, as well as former participants in the Finland-U.S. Youth Scholarship Exchange Program. Funded by the Government of i Finland since 1982 and administered by YFU, the Finland-U.S. Youth Scholarship Exchange Program provides scholarships to send fourteen American exchange students to Finland every summer. This program strengthens Finnish-American relations through the cultivation of personal friendships—and often lifelong family ties—between students, their host families and communities. YFU President and former principal deputy assistant secretary of state, William M. Woessner says, “We are honored by Presdient Ahtisaari’s visit and welcome him as a committed supporter of youth exchange. Last summer he received American YFU students at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki and has on numerous occasions demonstrated his faith in young people and their ability to foster international understanding and cooperation. ” Youth For Understanding International Exchange, founded in 1951 to help heal the wounds of World War II, is one of the oldest, largest and most respected international Student exchange programs. More than 170,000 young people have taken part in YFU exchanges to more than 40 nations in Europe, North America, South America and the Pacific Rim. These exchanges are facilitated by YFU’s global network. m Photo courtesy of YFU Roger Courtney and Geneva Welch with Katja Valtonen met YFU President William Woessner, Finnish President Martii Ahtisaari, Mrs. Ahtsaari and Eeva Eklnnd, national chairperson, YFU-Finland at YFU headquarters. stk#917 stk#981 All prices are the Delivered Price, freight included.

) • Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds Trip Ends From Irkutsk to the Kremlin on the Railroad f By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Newg Contributing Writer In a churchyard in Irkutsk we saw graves of some of the Decembrist exiles and the monument to Grigori I -anovich Shelikhov, fur trader, adventurer and explorer who claimed Alaska for Russia in 1784. Near the church we attended a splendid concert in the house built Jtv' Prince Volkonskii in the 1830’s where his self-exiled wife and friends lived when they were all in Siberia. Sergie Volkonskii was implicated in the Decembrist attempt on the part of a group of aristocraticmilitary officers to unseat Tsar Nicholas I. His wife. Princess Maria, left a newborn son to follow him to Siberia where she was allowed to visit him periodically while he was imprisoned. She and her fellow exiled friends brought their love of music and the arts to the frontier. The building was a wooden log house, roomy and tw'o stories tall with two halls on the second floor, one of which accommodated our party of nearly 100. An accomplished opera soprano, accompanied by a pianist and chamber group, sang a Verdi aria, and we listened to music, both vocal and instrumental by Mozart, Schubert, Glinka and other composers we were assured Maria Volkonskia admired. On other occasions we were treated to folk music and dancing. I was moved to hear the classical works under the circumstances created for us, especially because of the struggles the Siberians are undergoing today to keep their society toi gether and their precarious livelihoods from sinking into poverty. I thought the performers were fortifying themselves with the heroism of those courageous men and women who 175 years before had endured the isolation and privations of Irkutsk long before there was a Trans-Siberian railway. Since returning home I have heard from a visiting Russian ballet dancer that the arts are suffering from diminished government support and the depression. Theaters are threatened as are the prospects u for new generations of artists of all 1 sorts. This information would call i into question the assurances we i were given at Ulan Udi. ' From Irkutsk we were bused to i Lake Baikal, but owing to an acci- i dent on the rail line we were scheduled to take, we went to the lake by 1 a different route and arrived there at about 5 p.m., at which time the 1 lake was covered with fog. ; Fortunately, I had awakened at 4 a.m. that morning on the way to Ir- 1 kutsk and began to look from my car 1 window for the lake as we approached its eastern shore. I watched for several hours as the train passed close to the lake and on some occasions seemed almost to be passing over its edge. Trees skirted the shore in places, but in others, dreadful industrial works the nature of which I often could not discern marred the landscape. For a while, white rocks lined the shore and in some places there was a sort of beach. The water is very cold, so for the most part it is not a vacation area. The water’s surface was disturbed by scarcely a ripple as the sun began to shine upon it. By breakfast, we were at Slyudyanka at the southern end of the lake, and from there the train departed for Irkutsk. i Novosibirsk owes its importance to the Trans-Siberian Railway, but the Soviets converted it to a major military manufacturing city. Its avenues are broad and the big buildings were built in this century. We saw no prerevolutionary wooden dwellings falling into decay. All is new and up to date in Novosibirst-as of 50 years ago or so. We were told half the people don’t marry, half of those who do separate, and more people die than are being born. A local guide said social services for needy people, old and young, are an outrage. After visiting a gaunt, gray and unaesthetic art gallery where we saw a fairly limited collection of 19th and 20th century Russian art, we were encouraged to walk a few i blocks to the city center to see a square given over to a World War II Lake Baikal is peaceful before afternoon fog sets in. nemorial. It is probably the largest iuch memorial I have seen save that n Volograd, yet the war did not :ome to Novosibirsk. Thousands of ts citizens, however, went to war rom there and did not return. Huge stone panels have been irected to carry the names of war dctims, and gigantic sculptures to ;he right and left memorialize them ind their bereft relatives. An eternal flame would be impressive after lark, but looks futile in daylight. 3ver all, an immense stone sculp;ure of a standing, grieving woman s an affecting witness. She is carved >o that long shadows convey her sorrow. i This is the only war memorial we vere directed to during this trip. Formerly, war memorials were featured, and they invariabley had Honor guards of soldiers or teeniged boys and girls, whose military iress and goose-stepping changing ceremonies frightened me. It seemed as if they were worshipping war. We would often see marriage parties come to lay flowers at war memorials. These were sacred places. The guards have vanished and the bridal couples we eventually saw were on the Kremlin and at the steps of St. Basil’s Cathedral in Red Square. The groom was formally dressed in black and white. The bride had on an elaborate iridescent white dress shimmering with rainbow colors. What a change has come over the society! Further west, beyond the Urals, there was a noticeable improvement in the dress and conditions of people at the stations, When we finally got to Moscow, the city looked positively opulent. Streets were clean, buildings painted and repaired and traffic brisk. I could only think, “This is a colonial capital where the wealth of an empire flows tb enrich the inhabitants at the expense of the rest.” There is no transcontinental highway system in Russia such as we have in the states. In Siberia, the train is it, and one passes about every five minutes in either direction. Our train was delayed several times, and we had to find a new slot to move in. Our speed somewhat depended on what was happening up ahead. Outside Perm, an electrical malfunction stopped our engine, causing wheel damage on several cars. It was wonderful to see the readiness with which a night crew was assembled to work in the rain to replace the wheels on two carriages, in one of which I was traveling. I hadn’t expected to learn how a coach is jacked up, the wheel frame, called the truck, detached, the wheels removed and new ones set on the tracks to replace them; new wheels are attached to the old frame, and the frame is pushed under the car and bolted back to the coach and the jacks are removed. About twelve men working all at once, with the aid of a crane, expertly and cooperatively accomplished this operation for which I had a grandstand seat out Mologuists Ready Program By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Few tickets remain for “Frogs, Toads, 'Coons and Cows,” an evening of theatre and dance monologues, to be presented by Joyce Abell and Sharon Wyrriek at Ki Theatre in Washington at« p.m. this Friday. Each will be performing a new' piece. This will be Mrs. Abell’s fourth performance in the county. Her first >tage experience in Rappahannock was in the Shepherd’s Play at Ki Theatre in 1991. and she received rave reviews. She had intended to try out for a part playing a recorder in the play, and ended up reading a part. Director Julie Portman told her excitedly, “You are going to be in this play!" - Mrs. Abell then went on to play the devil in the “Three Kings” play at Ki Theatre last December. During Open Theatre at Ki last April, she performed “Rupert’s Birthday”, a monologue written by playwright Ken Jenkins. “Rupert’s Birthday” will again be performed this Friday night, along with “Elderberries,” which was also written by Ken Jenkins. Mrs. Abell said that even though she lived many years in the midwest, west, and New England, she has always been attracted to southern literature, especially about small towns. Both of her monologues are about southern women. About her newest monologue, “Elderberries,” she says, “I am struggling with it but it is really exciting to struggle. I love it.” About 40 years ago, Mrs. Abell was a member of an amateur theatre group. She said, “I was stiff and scared and terrible. There is a lot to be said for growing old. I feel comfortable on the stage now.” Sharon Wyrrick is fascinated with toads and frogs as they relate to environmental factors. “Environmental conditions are changing. They (frogs and toads) are very sensitive to environmental changes,” she said. Ms. Wyrrick will be performing “Bufo amerieanus” for the first time, a piece she wrote and designed. It will incorporate dance, theatre and visuals to make a social statement about Bufo amerieanus. She admitted that when she first heard the name “bufo amerieanus”, she thought it sounded like an American buffoon, but that is not so. Ms. Wyrrick said that frogs and toads are very sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and that marshy areas are disappearing and therefore cutting down on their population. Of her piece, she says, “The overall message is serious, but comes from different and unusual angles and has a humorous aspect too.” She added, “The style is not linear; it jumps around and does not have a traditional story line. The toad will be used as a metaphor for other things. There will be several stories going on at once. It is a little like a jigsaw puzzle; you don’t see how they really fit together until the end of the piece.” Students at local schools were lucky to have Ms. Wyrrick as an artist in residence last year, and last fall she did a program with the Full Circle at Sally Nash’s Workspace for Choreographers in Sperryville. That group also performed at the Kennedy Center. Also last fall, she participated in the Tages de Tanz Festival in Germany. Last week she returned from a residency at St. Mary’s College in Maryland where she performed “Can I Watch You?” Both women look forward to performing in their home county of Rappahannock this Friday night. Mrs. Abell said, “It feels good to be performing in front of friends and neighbors. Sometimes I don’t care if we ever perform any place but here.” Tickets are $8 general admission and $4 for students. They may be purchased in advance at Mountainside Market in Washington, or reservations can be made by calling Ki Theatre at 675-1615. Advance tickets or reservations are recommended. the back of our car. This was one hazard of the trip Mr. Terry failed to warn about. t Millions of people in Russia must live in the cities’ ubiquitous apartment houses, but mercifully, millions also live in bungalows, however modest, where they have their subsistence gardens. Perhaps the gardens keep the people not only alive but hopeful. The thousands of dachas outside cities that we saw squeezed up in development-like areas, often too close to the train, I thought, suggest that even a postage stamp garden is a must for a Russian. On the way to Lake Baikal, outside Irkutsk, there appeared to be possibly millionaire developments going up--huge, ,/ partially constructed, three story, dark red brick houses, lined up on good-sized lots. Will they have paved streets in front of them? At least some people are expecting much of the future. Let us hope they are right. The Kremlin in Moscow reminds me of a Shakespearian play. As a teacher of literature, I had the experience of teaching Julius Caesar for a number of years. After a while, I was convinced I had squeezed the play dry. But no, the following year it would have moved and turnedthere was always more, i This June so it was on the Kremlin. On two previous occasions, how had I missed the extent and inviting character of the Lenin garden? How had I not noticed how steeply the ground drops from the high point toward the river? There was even a new, monumental staircase ascending the outside of the White Faceted Palace, an old building that formerly was used as the throne room by the Tsars. It is located between the Cathedral of the Dormition and the Church of the Annunciation. One of the reasons the impression the Kremlin makes is always new must be owing to the care that landscapers have taken to keep about as much green as possible. One year we were there when lilacs were blooming. The Kremlin was covered w ith them. The large and diverse buildings from many historic eras are, in places, crowded together in an apparent jumble, but looking in almost any direction, through open spaces, you see handt Photos unities) ot Lee and Diana Hirii Grief is portrayed at the War Memorial at Novosibirsk. some trees and shrubs, i Denied entrance to the Cathedral of the Dormition, the niost important building, because a service was in progress or restorations were, we were let into the Church of the Annunciation, built in the late 1400s. It contaihs some of Russia’s most elegant icons-the Virgin among oth- t ers, all expressing a piety and importance that more than 500 years has not dimmed nor caused to feel alien. Unknown artists touch lis at every turn in spaces that are small enough to give their works an aura of intimacy. This richly decorated old church, 1 I traditionally the site of royal weddings, is just one of many fascinating buildings with golden sparkling domes for roofs. The seasons and the weather change their countenances.. Is there another grander and more eloquent national statement anywhere than that made by Moscow’s Kremlin? As we descended past the modem congress buildings, deep bell tones rang out rhythmically. More than 60 years of communism hasn’t prevented a religious resurrection. One can hope that the long silenced, traditional bells are beginning to ring again all over Russia. We first heard them in Irkutsk. This gold topped building on Red Square has recently been renovated.

They’ve found that a willingness to focus on the God-given goodness in one’s life, instead of one what one lacks, brings an understanding of how trustworthy God’s omnipotence is. As a Christian Science hymn puts it, “A grateful heart a garden is, where there is always room for every lovely. Godlike grace to come to perfect bloom” (Christian Science Hymnal, No. 3). In this spirit of love and gratis CALL HOME" I I The Church of God | | of Prophecy is waiting to | I hear from YOU! | 1 l-800-3i1-7636 ! EiH^fcisu-Baaasu^mTBiasiiaasuastafflsiaS itude, the members of First Church of Christ, Scientists, Warrenton, at 311 Jackson Street, invite the community to join in giving thanks to God. The service will be held on Thanksgiving Day at 10:30 a.m. A special Lesson-Sermon from the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy will be read. This year's reading includes helpful perspectives on gratitude, such as St. Paul’s advice to the Colossians, “We ye have therefore' re ceived Christ Jesus the Lord, so Walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with Thanksgiving” (Colossians 2:6,7). ( And as Mary Baker Eddy points out, ‘To keep the commandments of our Master and follow his example, is our proper debt to him, and the only worthy evidence of our gratitude for all that he has done. Outward worship is not of itself sufficient to express loyal and heartfelt gratitude, since he has said: “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (Science and Health, p. 4).. During the service, there will also be time for Christian Scientist to express gratitude for the ways in which they have experience God’s grace during the year. As in past year, Thanksgiving coincides with National Bible Week, Nov. 20-27 as declared by the Layman’s National Bible Association in New York City. Free parking and child care fqr those too young to attend will "be provided at the service and no collection will be taken. Holiday Open House Planned Sleigh bells will be ringing in Downtown Culpeper for the annual Holiday Open House, 12-5 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 20. Joining Santa in the festivities will be carolers, including the New Day Singers, and the Orange 1 County Cloggers.

GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAE, met on Nov. 9 at the Culpeper United Methodist Church in Culpeper. The Regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham, welcomed members and thanked the hostesses, Mrs. Norman Kloker and Mrs. Harding Thomas. ' In the President General’s message, read by Mrs. I.R. Kilby, Mrs. Blair suggested that all pause to give thanks to God for his love and his bounty, and to honoir all the veterans of our Armed Forces for their sacrifce so that we may continue to live in freedom and democracy. She urged all to continue to be active in community affairs and to encourage and to promote traditional American values. In the National Defense report, read by Mrs. Edward I. Barton, it showed how capitalism is unlike socialism and how our government conceives of liberty. The speaker, introduced by Mrs, Edward I. Barton, was Douglas K. Baumgardner, attorney in Washington and formerly Commonwealth Attorney for Rappahannock County. Mr. Baumgardener was graduated with distinction for VMI in 1973 and from UVA Law School in 1976. The “Citizen Solider” was his subject for the afternoon. The concept of the Citizen Solider is a uniquely American one - citizen laying <jown their “plows” to fight and defend the constitution and tis principles as examplified in the Preamble to the United States Constitution. In history, we can go back to Capt. John Smith and his colonial militia, and to George Washington who, three times, served his country and then went back to his civilian pursuits. To him, VMI epitomizes the ethos of the Citizen Solider, tracing the espirit de corps to the corps of cadets who took part in the Battle of New Market on May 15, 1864. He stated that this entire concept of the Citizen Solider is vital to our country today. i Chairman of the Preservation Committee, Mrs. E. Eugene Ryan, reported that three Culpeper County, Record Books are lost and • hopefully, copies can be made from films stored in Richmond. ,» The Registrar, Mrs. Dale MfeW zinger, reported a chapter membership of 97 wlpch includes two new members.

Christmas Home Flower Show Planned in Madison The Madison County Garden Club will present a Christmas standard Home Flower Show at the historic Governor James Lawson Kemper Residence on Main Street in Madison Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 3 and 4. The event corresponds with the town of Madison’s weekend “Christmas on the Corner” celebration in downtown Madison. The Kemper residence, a Greek Revival-style home, was built about 1852. It was purchased by the Madison County Board of Supervisors in 1977, and leased to the Madison Heritage Foundation in 1989 for 40 years. With the aid of several grants and a host of volunteers, the home „ has been authentically restored by the Heritage Foundation. During the Garden Club Flower Show the entire home will be open to the public. “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is the Garden Club’s theme for the flower show, and interpreted arrangements will be in the Victorian tradition in keeping with the style of the home. Flower arrangements are scheduled in every room, with crafts, horticulture, wTeaths, and a boutique in the Sons of the Confederacy Room.

Early American Vegetables By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock News Contributing: Writer North America Indians were cultivating several common garden crops when Europeans arrived. Corn, beans, and pumpkins were among their most important foods. Sunflowers and Jerusalem artichokes also supplemented their diets. Believed to be a “gift of the gods." com was of central importance for many native Americans. Although popcorn and sweet corn were known, they were not as important for food crops as field corn or roasting ears. Pumpkin Also Important Food Green com was roasted in the shuck and also was mixed with green beans to make succotash. Dried corn was washed in wbod ashes and quicklime to make hominy, or parched to make it pop slightly for ; easy eating. Ground hominy or dried field com was used for making unleavened bread or tortillas. It was also mixed with other foods, such as pumpkins, beans, or acorns to make bread. Evidence indicates that sweet com primarily was grown for special occasions. Interestingly, it was eaten parched rather than / fresh. Some methods used by the Indi' ans to insiire a successful crop might be of value in today's home gardens. They include planting in a shallow pit in windy areas or dry' soils to hold moisture, and soaking seeds for two days to hasten sprouting. Interplanting with pumpkins to save space may be an asset to some gardens if field corn is planted and allowed to mature before harvest. When such interplanting is tried with sweet corn, people have to fight the pumpkin vines to get the corn at harvest time and a great deal of damage can be done to the vine. Pumpkin Also Important Food The pumpkin was second only to corn in importance as a food crop to North American Indians. Pumpkins were protected from freezing in early winter by storing them in corn shocks. As the weather got colder, they were sliced into rings and dried over fires. The dried pumpkin could be ground into meal and used for breads. The seeds that weren't needed for planting the next year were roasted and eaten. The kidney bean, which includes most snap or green beans, was domesticated in Pent before 6000 B.C. and in Mexico prior to 5000 B.C. Ip use spread north from Mexico, as did corn and pumpkins. These three plants became the principle crops in North America in prehistoric times. The early colonists found the native Americans planting pole or "half-runner” types of kidney beans. They often were put among the corn plants so the vines could climb the stalks. This practice not only led to easier bean harvests, it made it possible to grow good crops of com on the same ground for several years in a row. Saw Effect of Nitrogen in Soil The native Americans did not understand why this worked but, by observing the benefits, were able to take advantage of the fact that beans actually improved the soil by helping to extract nitrogen from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil. The oldest known variety of beans, the “White Half Runner," has been planted for as long as records exist by mountain residents in the Southeastern United States. Another crop grown by the North American Indians was the sunflower. It is the only important crop plant to have actually been domesticated in what is now the United States. All other crops were brought here by the native Americans after domestication. Surprisingly, the sunflower did not become important as a food plant until it was carried;to Russia where it was fund to be suitable for growth in large areas of that vast country. This led to the development of several new varieties. (Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist icith Virginia Cooperatice Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.)
