Many Roads Closed, Bridges Washed Out By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff W riters Heavy rain Monday night and Tuesday morning, added to several rains in the past week, created flooding conditions throughout Rappahannock County, but especially along the Rush River. The Washington Fire Hall was designated the command center for dealing with problems created by the flooding. VDOT, the Sheriffs Office and the county’s fire and rescue squads organized to help rescue people trapped by the flooding. A.K. “Kirk” Davis, 43, left his house in Harris Hollow on foot about 6:30 a.m., apparently to check on his equipment, and did not return. Helicopters from the State Police and Pegasus searched along the Rush River for him without success. Two of the Davises’ autos were swept down river. One .was found one-fourth of a mile from the Davis house. Once the waters had retreated,* search and rescue teams were orga-' nized to search along the banks of theriver. Four teams were organized, two to search both sides of the river between the Davis house and the Fodderstack Road and two to check both sides of the river between the. Fodderstack Road and the Old Mill. ; Mr. Davis’s body was found along the west side of the river between the Fodderstack Road and the Old Mill. Sheriff John Flenry Woodward said a neighbor reported that shortly after the time Mr. Davis went outside, there was a sound “like a bomb” as ar dammed up creek let loose and the floodwaters climbed dramatically higher. Mr. Davis owned his own logging business. His wife Pat Davis is the See Flooding, Page A-7. Residents Offer County's 'Vision' By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Planning Commission’s meeting to solicit “visions” from county citizens drew about 80 people to the high school auditorium. The meeting had been moved there from the Courthouse in anticipation that it might attract a large crowd such as attended a meeting last month on the Kellerco road plan. The crowd at last Wednesday’s meeting could have been accommodated in the Courthouse, and that would have been more comfortable because the Courthouse is air-conditioned, and the high school auditorium is not. However, the meeting brought forth a variety of suggestions for the county’s future. Commission Chairman Mike Massie, quoting Winston Churchill said the meeting v'as not the “beginning of the end” in redrafting the Comprehensive Plan but rather “the end of the beginning.” Two interesting suggestions came from Kathleen Maier, who said the county needs a neighborhood pub and encouraged farmers to explore growing medicinal herbs since she said they are in great demand and are becoming more difficult to find growing wild. “We’re sitting on a gold mine,” she said. Laura Majorana said she just wanted a place to sell bread. She is renting what was once the shop See Vision, Page A-7 Old Rag Bulletins Toth Resigns John Toth has submitted his resignation as principal of Rappahannock County High School to accept the position of principal of Carver-Piedmont Technical Center.

The plan also calls for developing an alternative education program, noting that staff positions for it are already in place. The state also requires the school system to have a six-year technology plan, but the schools already have that, and the proposed six-year plan merely calls for a review of it. Under facility expansion the plan calls for expanding the high school to include vocational and technical education and renovating the earth science lab at the high school. Finally the plan calls for having a school nurse.

In developing the five-year plan for the library — a project required by the state for receiving funds — the Library Board set as its first goal providing a collection of high demand, high interest materials for people of all ages. One,objective under this goal is to consider an outreach program to community members who cannot get to the library. An example of that might be to get library books to older citizens in residential care facilities, librarian Patti Holmes said at last week’s Library Board meeting. Other suggestions included getting books out to areas such as Chester Gap and Amissville. To do that the librarian intends to canvass the community for people who need the service and solicit volunteers to deliver books. But some Library Board members suggested the library consider a bookmobile making regular stops in some of the villages. Many people, especially those too young to drive, are not able to get to the library regularly, they noted. Other goals in the five year plan include developing the endowment fund to provide for future library expansion, adding to the collection of books on tape, developing a policy for adding to the collection and weeding out books that are not used, providing training for trustees, staff and volunteers and continuing to seek out grants to support the library. The board will formally vote on the five year plan at its July meeting. - ^/aith q4€ountain /^ompany ms is The Sale You've Waited For!

Flood Waters Once again tragedy has struck the community when a local citizen died in Tuesday’s flooding. In August 1979 Gene and Virginia Wood died when they tried to walk over a flooded bridge. Tuesday Kirk Davis died apparently trying to ensure the safety of his equipment as flood waters approached. Moving water is always potentially dangerous. Flood waters are far more dangerous because, not only are they moving much more quickly, but they also are carrying all sorts of debris. More rains are predicted. If you are in a high dry place when floods threaten, stay there. If you are not, try to get to such a place. Don’t risk your personal safety for your things. The community owes a debt of gratitude to the many people who joined search and rescue teams to try to prevent the tragedy. The fact that they were not successful takes nothing away from their effort. Fourth of July Next Tuesday marks the 219th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence ‘ As Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, two men who greatly influenced the Congress that voted to adopt the Declaration, recommended, this county regularly celebrates this national holiday with parades, patriotic singing and fireworks. William Carrigan said his family had always had fireworks in celebration of the Fourth of July. When he tried family fireworks in 1961 after moving into Avon Hall, he found they attracted people from miles around. So Mr. Carrigan graciously decided to invite the community to come view them from the grounds of Avon Hall. A few years later the Washington Volunteer Fire Department decided to take advantage of the gathered crowds to sell a Bar-BCue dinner to those who came for the fireworks, and Mr. Carrigan expanded the evening program to include children’s games and family entertainment before the start of the fireworks. Some time later the Library decided to hold a flea market on the Fourth of July to raise money, and thus the street fair was bom. In 1976, as part of the bicentenial celebration, the noon program in front of the Courthouse began with Waldron O’Conner reading from the Declaration of Independence and in later years from General George Washington’s dispatches to the Congress from the war front. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community is trying to preserve all these traditions without losing too much money. County citizens should be grateful for the opportunity to celebrate an old fashioned fourth. Instead of carping about parking fees, consider them a contribution to worthwhile organizations. And don’t try to save money by walking into town. At one dollar a head the fees for that will quickly add up to more than the two dollar parking fee. pai m fpfff§ .

To the Editor: On Saturday morning, June 17, at 3:05 a.m., my husband, Jimmy and I were awakened by someone at the door. Jimmy answered the door to a man who had lost control of his car in front of our house. His car was stuck on the bank across the road, and he insisted that my husband come out fi and push his car off the bank with his ) truck. Jimmy kept trying to persuade him that he could not do this and that he would be happy to call someone for him, call a tow truck or call the police. The man was very insistent. Jimmy came back in to put on his shoes and told me to call the police while he was trying to stall him. I immediately tried to call for help. At 3:10 a.m. I dialed 911, over 15 rings and no answer. Thinking that maybe I had dialed in error. I hung up and dialed 911 again. After 20 rings and still no answer, I called the Rappahannock Sheriffs Office. After letting the phone ring for over 10 times, I almost hung up thinking maybe our phone was out or order. Finally the dispatcher answered and said she would send a deputy. No one ever showed up. My husband managed to help the man get his car off the bank. He came inside and called the Sheriffs Office and told them to forget it. A few minutes later the dispatcher called back and wanted to know which way the man had gone, because they had been looking for him. This incident concerns me greatly. What if someone had been hurt in this accident? The next morning we found lots of beer cans, some empty, some full, on the bank where the man ended up when he lost control of his car. When he left the scene of the accident, he could have gone further down the road and had another accident in which some one may have been hurt. Does 911 have “hours” that 1 should be aware of in case I have a “real” emergency. I was under the impression that one should dial 911 in any and all emergencies. What is the Sheriffs Department’s policy for calls at 3 a.m.? No one was hurt, but since I didn’t know exactly what had happened at the time, how could they have known this. 1 was an advocate for the 911 system. We have a business, and the change of address on all our materials and office supplies was time consuming and costly, but I felt it was well worth it for the security that 1 felt we would have with this system in place. All of our phones had the emergency ■r? ) 'for "tli-e y^\re\X>or ks^ Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Malm . Purebred American grey Brahman cattle graze by the pond at Dixie Meadows Farm.! I numbers replaced with 911. Our children were instructed to use 911 and to give our new address. I felt more comfortable with this system. Now I feel very let-down and confused. Was I wrong? Were others who opposed this system right. I’m concerned. The consequences of this incident could have been devastating if someone had needed medical attention. What should I do next time? Who do I call? What happened to my secure and safe feeling? ELLEN B. JOBACK Flint Hill (Editor’s Note: Sheriff John J. Woodward reported that a call from the Joback residence was received at his office at 2:59 a.m. At that time Deputy Connie Compton was at the scene of an accident at Route 642 in Amissville. After she left that accident scene at 3:06 a.m. she was dispatched to the "car in a bank” call at Route 647 across from the Joback's house. She reported she followed Route 647 to the county line without finding anything. He further reported that the E911 dispatch system has not yet been J turned on and won 7 be until after - July 15 when county telephone exchanges are switched to the new 4 540 area code. Nevertheless 675 and . 987 phone exchange customers are supposed to have basic 911 service 24 hours a day. He said he has had other complaints of people who call and do * not get answers and believes it is~ cT problem with the phone lines. He said he would like to receive reports of calls that are not answered or not answered promptly in order to document problems he is having with his telephones.)' Amazing Water Solution? By JESSE POND Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The other afternoon, just after sunset, I took a slow walk up the road in one of the hollows, just to settle my dinner and think a little in a quiet spot. At one of the bridges over the little stream, I stopped and sat on the bridge rail for a moment. 1 had hardly got settled when I felt that someone was there looking at me, so I turned around, and sure enough, there was a man sitting on a stump mostly hidden in shadow. Startled, I said, “Hello,” and as I looked I thought he was one of our neighbors, but on closer look it was not he. The man replied with a pleasant voice, his accent somewhat reminding me of Ireland, “Hello yourself, and a pleasant evenin’ to you.” As we exchanged pleasantries 1 had difficulty in making out his face or even his clothing, as dark was falling fast. He seemed to be wearing a green flight jacket. “What’s troublin’ you, lad? You’ve got something on your mind 1 see from your frown.” I had not realized that I was frowning. “I’ve just been to a meeting ^here the subject was water, or rather the lack of knowledge about it. And it is troubling me a bit.” “Ach” (it was that odd accent again) “you have plenty of water for the people you have here now, but bring in a few more folks, and then see how things look after you’ve had a dry year or two.” “Do you mean that we can run out of water?” “Of course you can, but look at this stream right here, if you make it into a lake, you can have plenty of water for a long time.” He laughed, and said “you can dam this stream right at that big farm.” He pointed in the general direction of Mt. Vernon Farm. “Right below where the two streams join there are bluffs on both sides. Raise a dam there, put Sperryville under ten feet of water, and (more chuck les) you can run the road over the dam and have your by-pass too. That way you’d solve several of your problems: water and a road all at once.” I sneezed, and when I looked again at the stump, the little man was gone! Without a sound or a goodbye, but over in the field behind some trees there was a whooshing sound, not like a helicopter, but like a big vacuum cleaner, and then it, too, was gone, leaving me there in the dark. Who was this man who knew about our problems and had such a quick and easy solution to some of them? Was that a UFO over behind the trees and he was one of its crew? There had been an article inthe paper about UFOs in Virginia; could one have been there that afternoon. And how did that little man know so much about Rappahannock’s problems? The answer to that question is as elusive as the answers to the questions about water. RAAC Wants Understanding By CHARLIE TOMPKINS Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer As we near the Fourth, I would like to express my sincere admiration and thanks for all those who are working on the event. Although this is RAAC’s First attempt at the 4th, we have some experienced people in a good committee structure giving a lot of their time to what has arguably become our single biggest community event. Amongst the things that these hard working volunteers must contend with are two rather prevalent misconceptions in the community. First, I have been amazed and disheartened to see how many people in this community don’t know anything about RAAC even though the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community has been in business now for over 10 years producing (as its by-laws provide) artistic and community events. Second, I find it distressing to see such widespread unfamiliarity about the costs involved with the 4th of July. Much debate by some of your best community people has been done about the best way to pay for the costs involved with the 4th, and the most palatable two options that have come up are the vendor fees and the parking levy, both at extremely modest rates. I would estimate that the 4th of July will cost between, $5,000 and $10,000 to produce. Of course we all know that the town will pick up the fireworks bill to the tune of $3,700, but the rest must come from somewhere. One of the t. jst prominent citizens of the county commented to me that revenues from the 4th of July Opinion i;M|g “went into RAAC’s pocket and not into the community.” Those of us who have worked in RAAC over the years feel, with some small pride, that the many concerts, dances, workshops, forums, and the movies, that we have produced, have all been at least intended to benefit the community, and most have been successful in that regard. As for RAAC’s pockets, everything that was ever in them, has been returned to the community in the fc rm of these same events. RAAC has never made money or even been concerned with doing that; we have only tried not to lose too much. RAAC is viewed on a statewide level as an ideal local community organization, yet within its own community, there seems to be some rather widespread ignorance and misconception as to what we are about. Since RAAC’s inception, 1 have heard a lot of opinions about how “we” should be spending our volunteer time and I have commented before that “we" is us. If someone has an opinion about what RAAC should be doing, let them volunteer to help out, and that includes the 4th of July. Skipping to that subject for a moment, I know that there are many in the county who are far more familiar with the history of that celebration than 1 am, but many feel, as do I, that the event has, for many years, been extremely well done by Roger Roach and the Washington Volunteer Pire Department and has been a great ben efit to the Fire Department. We also I know that Mr. Carrigan has played ah I extremely important and formative * role in making the event into what it has been, a true local and patriotic celebration. ' However, today there are many • significant concerns in the production * of the event. Naturally most of-the l concerns revolve around money. Until T recent years Mr. Carrigan supplied, most of the financial as well as Qthef kinds of support. Since he relin* . quished his role in the festivities, we I have been struggling to figure out l how to pay for the rather grand event ♦ that the 4th has become. Three or four - years back parking fees were initiated, and the town has been paying fo£ the fireworks. These things alone are not enough, and in the absence of I some donor or donors, there are many ' other expenses involved in the day. If * the community itself thinks that the * $2 parking fee is unfair then 1 would * ask the community “Do you support this celebration?” If not, why are we all working so hard? If everyone resents what it takes to do this, except for the benefit of the Fire Department, then let’s just give the $3,700 to them, and we will all go home and enjoy ourselves. I hope that these remarks will inspire a more public debate about what we in the community wqnt to see happen on the 4th. * (Editor's note: This column comes from a statement Mr. Tompkins read at the June 14 Town Council meeting. Mr. Tompkins is a member of the Town Council and of RAlAC and has been very involved in planning for this year’s July 4th celebration.) * *r

Second Parade of Summer Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan This color guard of veterans led off the parade in Amissville last week. / Scheer Calls for Acceptance Of Goals 2000 Funding Plan “Pure political chicanery.” That’s how House of Delegates candidate Sue Scheer characterizes Governor George Allen’s rejection — supported by Del. Jay Katzen — of as much as $14 million in federal funds available to Virginia’s public schools through the Goals 2000 program. The Goals 2000 program was begun under President George Bush and developed by the nation’s governors at the 1989 Education Summit in Charlottesville. It promotes higher standards and improved student performance, improved teacher education, more parental involvement and safer schools. States and localities decide how to pursue those goals. ! Virginia’s Board of Education, by majority vote, supported applying for the money. Virginia’s participation in Goals' 2000 is also supported by the Virginia Business Council, the Chamber of Commerce and the state’s PTA’s. Forty-eight states have requested Goals 2000 funding; only Virginia and New Hampshire have failed to apply. Governor George Allen has voiced concern that the initiative could amount to “potential federal intrusion” into state and local control over education. But Board of Education Chairman James P. Jones points out that Virginia schools already receive $350 million in federal funds — money that comes with a variety of requirements. He says it makes little sense to reject additional federal money when the Commonwealth will need an extra $180 million next year just to maintain existing programs and keep up with inflation and growth in student enrollment. Del. Jay Katzen, whom Mrs. Scheer is opposing in the November election, voted against applying for Goals 2000 funding in the last legislative session. “This is just another example of Mr. Katzen’s refusal to support public education,” said Mrs. Scheer. “The fact is there are no strings attached to the money now, and it’s highly unlikely that a Republicancontrolled Congress is going to change that. But should the unlikely happen, Virginia can opt of the program at any time. “1 see nothing wrong with setting standards for all children and giving them equal opportunity for jobs and educational benefits,” Mrs. Scheer continued. “By refusing to accept $1.7 million this year and as much as $14 million over two years, Mr. Katzen is holding our children’s education hostage to some school-yard political posturing.” Rodeo Excitement Returns To Great Meadow July 1st & 2nd!

' • - : - ' Old Dominion Politics ■*——1— : —. : 1——-: ■ GOP Gains on Black Districts By JOHN GOOLRICK Powerful Delegate Robert Ball of Henrico County is the latest victim of a redistricting technique which has done much to help Republicans gain strength in state legislatures and the U.S. House of Representatives. Ball, a Democrat and the chairman of the House of Delegates Appropriations Committee, lost in a primary election recently to a young black Democrat with little previous political experience. Before redistricting came about in 1991, Ball seemed safe enough in a district that included mush of Henrico County and was mostly white. But as a result of redistricting he was thrown into a district whose population is about 55 percent black. Through he managed to squeak out a re-election victory two years ago, this time around not even his ability to get millions appropriated for various Richmond area projects could save him. The map tells the tale. Ball was in a district where the black majority was, sooner or later, going to elect a black to represent the district. Indeed, when redistricting came about in 1991, it created some strange bedfellows in that the Ad II the NAACP and the Republican Party all favored the creation of as many black majority districts as possible. Since the inescapable fact is that a very large majority of blacks vote for Democrats, by concentrating them in fewer districts. Republicans gain increased opportunities to win in the remaining districts. Though there are more blacks serving in the House of Representatives today by far than ever before, Republicans control the House, and at least part of the reason for that control is due to the redistricting process. In Virginia, blacks will likely hold more seats than ever in the House of Delegates come next January, but Republicans have made steady gains in both the House and Senate since the redistricting process — a process controlled by Virginia Democrats — was completed. One of the reasons state Democratic leaders have tried desperately this year to persuade many veteran legislators to seek re-election is their knowledge that while the veterans are personally popular and may be able to win, many of their districts were left essentially as Republican leaning districts after redistricting. Thus when they decided to step down, GOP successors may be likely. And that’s true too at the congressional level. If Democratic Congressmen Owen Pickett of the 2nd District and L.F. Payne of the 5th District were to decide not to seek reelection in 1996, Republicans contenders would be favored to win elec tion in their districts. For Bob Ball there must be a certain irony in knowing that the Republican Party’s role in pressing, along with the ACLU and NAACP, for more black majority districts probably made a contribution to his defeat. Now either a black Democrat or white Republican will occupy his 74th District seat, and he will be history thanks to the redistricting engineered by his Democratic friends and colleagues in the House of Delegates.

Sheriff Woodward reported that early Tuesday morning one family was evacuated from a house on Route <J30 near Flint Hill. Many roads were made impassible by the flooding. Some remained impassible even when the water retreated because bridges or their approaches were washed out. Among others, the Fodderstack Road, Harris Hollow Road and Gid Brown Hollow Road were still impassable Tuesday evening. At Goat Hill Farm in Tiger Valley, floodwaters washed away 8,000 tomato plants, along with lettuce, chilies, squash and garlic. That was the majority of the crop, but a few plants still remain by the house where the land is not so low. Terry Lehman of Goat Hill Farm said it looked like the Mississippi River coming through. Rainfall amounts varied according to where the measurements were made. At Dennis Wingfield’s house in Sperryville 3.93 inches were recorded between midnight and noon Tuesday. Heavier rain fell early Sunday when 4.09 inches were recorded. Altogether 12.54 inches were recorded from June 1 and early afternoon Tuesday, according to Cathy Wingfield. Emergency Services Coordinator Dieter Kneupfer reported that 8.1 inches fell at his house near Massie’s Comer between 6 p.m. Monday night and 6 a.m. Tuesday morning. He reported three vehicles had been swept into the Rush River, but none were occupied. Sheriff Woodward reported that there was a flood watch for Sperryville Saturday night, and the Thornton River passing through the town came to the top of its banks but did not spill out. Sperryville was less hard hit in Tuesday’s flooding than areas to the east, he said. ► Visions From Page A-l building when the Spring Mountain School property was an elementary and high school.

Jack Dwyer said the county should reject funding from the federal government because it would lead to federal control. Phil Irwin read from comments written by customers at his bed and breakfast business. He said, “The only .

' Melinda Alexander suggested changing from an average density of 25 acres in agricultural zones to 50 acres. She said 25 acre zoning does ^contribute to efficient farming. fjuqt Harris said the county needs Jtore facilities for youth and tewiagers. He said he wanted to challenge people to offer their resources to the-schools.

He also said (ObER. is planning a forum on the i$i$spf land use taxation. Jennifer Alexander said the goals section of the Comprehensive Plan should include recreation. She said she was willing to pay higher taxes to keep open space by having the county buy up lands to protect river byways and access to the Shenandoah National Park. Carolyn Butler said the county government should concentrate on enforcing the ordinances it has. Mark Malek said it might be necessary to purchase steep slopes and mountain tops to prevent them from being developed. Chris Moyles suggested working with VDOT to have more wildflower plots along highways. He said he was pleased the county is considering establishing an artificial wetland to treat leachate at the landfill and hoped the Town of Washington would consider an artificial wetland for its sewage treatment. Mr. Massie invited those in the audience who are seeking elected office this fall to speak. Sheriff candidate Gary Settle said when he was stationed away from Rappahannock he missed the county’s scenic beauty and people. He encouraged the planners to promote recreation for youth. Monarchs Continue Winning Ways By BOB HOWARD Rappahaaaock New* Contributing Writer MAURERTOWN - On Sunday the Rappahannock Monarchs kept their hold on first place in the Apple Valley Baseball League by sweeping a doubleheader from the Woodstock Raiders. The Monarchs won the first game 10-5 and took the second 2-1 to improve to 8-1 on the year. Stoney Frye pitched the first game and improved his season record to 2-0. Frye went all seven innings, striking out 11, walking five and surrendering a paltry four hits. Frye did not allow an earned run, lowering his ERA to 2.00. Offensively, the Monarchs scored twice in the first inning. Leadoff man, Brian Hackley, was hit by the first pitch of the game. Vincent Aylor stepped up next and promptly tripled Hackley in. Later in the inning, Bob Howard scored Aylor with a double. Woodstock tied the score with two unearned runs in the bottom of the fourth, but the Monarchs responded by scoring six times in the top of the fifth. Howard led off with a single and moved to second on a single by William Parker. Luther Alexander, batting for the first time in the game, scored Howard with a single. Then Festus Clanagan drove a sacrifice fly to deep center field, allowing Parker to trot home easily. The next three Monarch hitters, Andy Furr, Frye and Bill Atkins drove in one run apiece with back-to-back-toback doubles. When Hackley scored Atkins with a single, the Monarchs took an 8-2 lead and effectively put the game out of reach. The Monarchs received yet another masterful pitching performance from Alexander in the second game. Alexander improved to 4-0 on the year and lowered his ERA to a team leading 1.68. In seven innings, Alexander allowed one earned run, six hits, one walk, and struck out five. When Woodstock’s third base man, Joe Cheff, led off the sixth inning with a home run, he snapped Alexander’s string of consecutive scoreless innings at 15. The Monarchs got on the board in the first inning again, and have now scored in the first inning in six of their nine games. With one out, Atkins walked, stole second, moved to third on a ground out by Aylor, and scored on a double by Parker. In the Woodstock half of the fifth, the defensive play of the day was turned in by Atkins, the Monarchs’ center fielder. Atkins, who was lined up in right-center field, made a running one handed catch three steps from the left-center field fence to rob Woodstock’s catcher, Ron Dalton, of extra bases. The Monarchs threatened in the third when they left men on first and second, and in the fourth when Tony Williams, in the game as a courtesy runner for the catcher, stole second and third with one out, but the Monarchs couldn’t get him across the plate. So, the score remained 1-0 until the top of the sixth when Parker led off with a single, moved to second when Nils Aylor walked, and scored on a base hit by Furr. To their credit, Woodstock didn’t give up against Alexander. Cheff s home run in the bottom of the sixth made the score 2-1, and Woodstock had the tying run on third and the winning run on second with two out in the bottom of the seventh, when Cheff stepped up again. With first < base open, Alexander elected to go ' right after Cheff and induced to hit an easy fly ball to left to end the game. Rappahannock Coach David Clanagan said, “We needed two wins today and our guys came up big. We’ve got a lot of talent on this team; • solid pitching, and a stacked lineup, 1 but talent only gets you so far. Last' season, we went to the finals and were swept by Edinburg. That experience has made us hungry this season. 1 see desire on the faces our players every time they take the field, and desire does as much, if not more, for you than talent.” The Monarchs return home to Rappahannock County High School this Sunday to play New Market in a double header at 1 p.m. The following Sunday, Rappahannock will host second place Edinburg in a single game beginning at 2 p.m. County Cannot Afford Water Study By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer When the prospect of a large Disney theme park less than 40 miles away in western Prince William County seemed inevitable, Piedmont Environmental Council President Robert Dennis suggested the county do a study of the water resources in the county as a means of countering development pressure. Mr. Dennis said he felt water quantity would eventually become a limiting factor to increased development in the northern piedmont of Virginia. The county already had two studies of water resources, a Drastic study that showed areas of the county where groundwater is most susceptible to polution and a study undertaken with the assistance of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service of problems with wells in the county. Neither study presented a particularly alarming picture. Mr. Dennis said the county needed a study of the quantity of underground water available. The Planning Commission took this recommendation to heart and instead of going ahead with a study of one of the village areas decided to pursue the possibility of having a study of the quantity of underground water done. After many months County Administrator John McCarthy brought to the Planning Commission a proposal by the U.S. Geological Service to do an analysis of the information already available. The U.S.G.S. would take on $10,000 of the projected $20,000 cost, and the county would be expected to pick up the other $10,000. ► Fourth From Page A-l Street between noon and 1 p.m., followed by performances by several local musicians.

Last Wednesday, Mr. Dennis brought Henry Harris, a hydrogeologist from Loudoun County, to the planners meeting. Mr. Harris basically said the county could not afford a useful study of water resources. He said such a study would start with using aerial maps to locate likely “fracture zones in rocks.” Followup would involve drilling in the identified fracture zones to determine what flows are available in them. He said the aerial mapping part of the study would likely cost between $50,000 and $100,000 and the followup well drilling could cost millions. Mr. Dennis suggested an altema tive would be to hire someone to con- ! tact well drillers and locate on maps what wells they had drilled and what flows they found and at what depth. Mr. Harris said that data would not be very useful, since most such wells are for individual houses or businesses, and water available in . fracture zones would be suitable for! villages. Mr. Harris suggested Rappahannock could follow the lead of Fauquier County and require large developers to prove that they would not require water needed by existing development in the county. He said underground water comes either from long term storage or the seeping of rainwater into the ground. He said if more is taken out than is coming in, that is “mining groundwater” and can lead to streams drying up. The issue of what to do next was left unresolved.

: ; - • Community News ; ; • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28,1995 Viewtown's Exotic 'Pets' Show Their Stripes By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer ’ What do you get when you cross a zebra with a donkey? A zonkey, of course! At Dixie Meadows Farm in Viewtown, Helen Dixon has a threeyear old male zebra, affectionately called “Zeebee” by the family. Zeebee shares a pasture with a white female donkey, named Sugar, on Route 642 in Viewtown, very near the Viewtown Store. When people drive by and see that zebra, they can hardly believe their eyes. Mrs. Dixon said that several times she has heard the screeching of brakes, and she knows that someone has just seen her zebra. Zeebee is a very friendly sort, and loves the attention of visitors. But, Mrs. Dixon said, some people actually climb the fence and get in the pasture with him and the donkey. He is friendly, but is still a wild animal, and could snap at someone. The plan is to breed him with the donkey once he reaches breeding age, in another year or so. The two have been together since they J Helen Dixon hand feeds one of the Brahman cows. were very young, so they are used to each other and will breed easily, she said. Mrs. Dixon bought Zeebee from an exotic animal dealer. “It is a fad,” she said. “Exotic animals are in now, whether they be birds, emus, llamas or other animal.” The offspring of the zebra and donkey will at least have stripes on the legs, if not all over, she said. The zebra is not the only unusual animal on the Dixie Meadows Farm. Mrs. Dixon, who owns the farm with her husband John, also has a herd of nine water buffalo. She got them just over a year ago, and has eight females and one bull. All of the females are expecting to calve at any time now. The water buffaloes, which have been domesticated for well over 6,000 years are the oldest domesticated breed of animal in the world, said Mrs. Dixon. Most water buffaloes live in southern areas, including the Philippines, the Mideast, Vietnam and Thailand. Mrs. Dixon said they are about the easiest of all cattle to raise. Water buffalo are not to be confused with the American buffalo also known as bison. The water buffalo really loqk more like cows than the bison. They love to wallow in pools of muddy water. The Dixons’ buffaloes came from Arkansas, and when she got them, they hardly had any hair. She was worried about how they would do in the cold weather, and built them a An ancient breed, the water buffalo prove to be very curious and friendly creatures. shelter, but they all developed thick black coats and hardly used the shelter at all. The meat of the water buffalo has less fat and cholesterol than beef, and is more tender, according to Mrs. Dixon. Her daughter Cathy said that the milk of the water buffalo has the highest butterfat content of all, four times what a beef cow would produce. The Dixons keep a few donkeys on their farm in Viewtown, and keep another 60 on a farm in Castleton. The males are called jacks and the females are jennies. On the Viewtown farm, a donkey is used to halter break a calf. A chain connects the two animals for about two days, so that when the donkey wants a drink of water, the calf must go along with her. After that short period of time, said Mrs. Dixon, the calf is halter broke. Mrs. Dixon’s granddaughter Melissa Dixon shows both Simmental and Brahman cattle at the 4-H Farm Show every year in Culpeper, as her mother Cathy did before her. Melissa has been showing cattle in the 4-H Show since she was six years old. While travelling around the farm safari-style in an Isuzu Trooper, all of the animals visited were friendly and mostly well-behaved. In the field with the pure bred registered herd of American grey and red Brahmans, whenever the Trooper stopped the cattle immediately headed toward the truck and stick their heads in the windows for a pat on the head or a little snack. One of them, however, stuck his head in the back window where Cathy and Melissa sat, and let out a loud burp. The Trooper took off with little hesitation. Brahman cattle enjoy the heat, and don’t mind at all lying in the sun. They don’t gather under trees for shade like other cattle do, said Mrs. Dixon. They have sweat glands to help them cool off, while other cattle keep cool by panting or going in the water. Besides the sweat glands, several characteristics of the Brahmans make them different from other cattle. They have a dewlap, which is a big fold of skin under their neck. They also have a brisket, which is a bump in front between the front legs. Also, there is a hump on their back behind their neck. Their ears are long and hang down similar to those on a nubian goat. The ears in particular make their face look very sweet. The Dixons first came to Rappahannock from Falls Church in 1968. With four children, it was a family operation for many years. Their first cattle were Angus, but they switched over to Simmentals in 1972, mostly because their calves Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Melissa Dixon combs one of the donkeys while another one impatiently waits for her turn. mmm* Witiffirifiiii Zeebee will be bred with a donkey to produce a ‘zonkey.’ grow much faster than Angus. They still have Simmentals as their main herd. The Dixons also have several dogs, including Anatolian shepherds to guard the herd. A couple of dalmations and a cat round out the animals which stay near the house.

GROGAN Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met at noon on June 13 for luncheon at the home of Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear, Jr., in Madison with Mrs. Puryear and Mrs. Philip Brewer as hostesses. Mrs. Thomas Eastham, Regent, opened the meeting welcoming everyone and thanking the hostesses. The National Defense report, read by Mrs. Edward Barton, was concerned with English being the official language as it was established by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and reinforced by the National Language Act of 1995. In the President General’s report, red by Mrs. Deiter Knuepfer, Mrs. Blair wrote of the accomplishments that have been made that have been made during her administration. Mrs. Eastham informed members of the upcoming State District VI meeting on Sept. 15 in Harrisonburg and a DAR workshop Aug. 6 in Culpeper. She encouraged all members to attend both if possible. She, also, informed members of two awards the Chapter had received at Continental Congress: One the State Award — in recognition of 100 percent participation in the President General’s Project and continuing the commitment and the second, National Award — Gold Honor Roll for outstanding commitment. As this was the last meeting under Mrs. Eastham’s administration, she was presented her Regent’s pin as the outgoing Regent. Mrs. Dale Metzinger then installed the new officers for the 1995-1998 term. They are as follows: Regent, Mrs. Irvin Kilby; 1st Vice Regent, Mrs. Carl'D. Longley; 2nd Vice Regent, Mrs. Zillah Gutowski; Chaplain, Mrs. Thomas Eastham; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Albert Lambert; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Walter Clark; Treasurer, Mrs. Edward Barton; Registrar, Mrs. George W.

Freezing Fundamentals and Low Fat Spreads By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics This week we are combining two articles, the first will be on freezing fundamentals and the second on low fat spreads. Freezing is probably the most popular method of food preservation. Its popularity is due to two factors — 1) the ease with which foods can be prepared for freezing, and 2) the fresh flavor of frozen foods. Another plus factor is the convenience of having frozen foods available. One factor on the negative side is the energy cost of freezing. Packing Materials Frozen foods maintain high quality if all is excluded from the package and a moisture-vapor-proof seal is achieved. Many different packaging materials are used in the freezer. Some do a better job of keeping food at the peak of quality than others. A good packaging material should be moisture and air tight, stand up to freezer temperatures, suit the food, and be strong. Blanching Freezing does not destroy any of the microorganisms which cause changes in food quality and food safety. Bacterial growth is very slow at freezer temperatures so food is not apt to spoil in the freezer. There may be loss of quality, however. Changes in color, flavor, and texture of fruits and vegetables can be caused by the enzymes which are responsible for ripening. Heating foods before freezing will destroy the enzymes. That’s why blanching or steaming of vegetables is recommended. Heating does reduce the number of bacteria, yeasts, and molds present but its principal purpose is to destroy enzymes. Heating also makes vegetables easier to pack into containers. . To blanch, lower a small amount of vegetable into boiling water. The ratio of vegetable to water should be such that the water doesn’t stop boiling — a pound of prepared vegetable to a gallon of water is a common proportion. The blanching time must be long enough for heat to penetrate the food. As a rule, the larger the piece, the longer the blanching time. Thus the extremes go from 1 1/2 minutes from green peas to 11 minutes for large ears of com. Start counting blanching time when water returns to a boil after food is added. Enzyme action may be stopped by steaming foods rather than boiling them. The time required for heat penetration is greater for steaming than for blanching. Whether blanched, steamed, or par-cooked, it is important to cool the vegetable quickly to stop the cooking process. Plunge the vegetable into ice cold water for about the same length of time you heated it. Then drain, package, and freeze. For some foods, you may find in ice water for cooling. Remember, enzymes affect food quality, not food safety. If food is used in a short time or heavily seasoned, changes in quality may not be detected. Microwave Blanching Microwave blanching of vegetables would appear to be a quick, energy efficient method, but research designed to test its effectiveness has not shown it to be especially quick of effective. Some of the drawbacks — only a small amount of food can be handled at a time; the suggested blanching times are very similar to those for water blanching; the vegetable has to be stirred; and finally, tests after storage indicate that conventionally blanched vegetables are of better quality. Enzymes in Fruits Enzymes are active in fruits, too. One obvious example of enzyme action is the darkening of light colored fruits. Blanching fruits to inactivate the enzymes would cause them to have a cooked flavor. There are other ways of inhibiting enzyme activity. One way is to exclude oxygen (air) which the enzyme requires for activity. Packing fruits in syrup or water will achieve this, but the fruit on top may be poorly protected. Antioxidants are chemical substances which interfere with enzyme activity. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) combines with the oxygen, sparing the fruit. Citric acid makes the food more acid; enzymes are less active in an acid medium. Ascorbic acid and citric acid are HOME ECONOMICS often combined in commercial products to keep fruits from darkening. Use according to package directions. Older but less efficient methods include dropping light colored fruits into water to which salt and/or vinegar was added or coating them with lemon juice. For Best Results Keep the time between harvesting and freezing as short as possible. Work with a small quantity of food at any one time. Follow the procedures outlined. Remember to leave headspace — 1/2-inch for wide-topped containers with straight sides; 1 1/2inches for narrow topped glass jars. Exclude as much air from the package as possible. Close the container, label, and freeze. Store at 0 degree F or below. If you need up-to-date instructions for blanching times, syrups and freezing instructions, call or come by the Extension Office at 675-3619 and request publication 348-027 on Preserving Foods. Low-Fat Spreads — The American Way According to health professionals, the average American diet contains too much fat and not enough carbohydrates. The United States Department of Agriculture’s Dietary Guideline for Americans suggest that no more than 30 percent of calories should be obtained from fat. The average American diet, however, contains about 37 percent fat. Nutritionists also recommend that Americans get 50 to 70 percent of their daily caloric intake from carbohydrates. Only 46 percent are actually being consumed as such. The key: consume more grain-based foods and lighten up on spreads and toppings. Low-Fat Suggestions • Use fat-free or low-fat mayonnaise, salad dressing and cream cheese. • Select low-fat mozzarella and farmer’s cheese instead of cheddar. • Enjoy jams and fruit purees, which are fat-free. • Spread with low-fat cottage cheese or Parmesan and broil .till bubbly. • Try flavorful seasonings: dill, rosemary or Italian combinations. • Experiment with salsa. • Sprinkle on cinnamon and add a touch of apple sauce. • Combine fat-free cream cheese and jam. Whether you’re serving these spreads as a topping for breakfast foods or as a spread/tip for an hors’dourves, you also need to select the type Of. bread/cracker on which it’s served to be sure it’s low-fat too.These are good choices: bagels, bread sticks, crackers, dinner rolls, English muffins, French bread, multigrain, wheat or rye bread, pita bread and tortillas. Use these foods occasionally, because they are higher in fat: croissants, muffins, biscuits, scones, potato chips. When serving as an appetizer, raw vegetable dipper are always a good choice! Fresh Veggie Spread 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened 1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise 1 tablespoon chopped green onion 1/4 cup minced red sweet pepper 1/3 cup very finely chopped fresh broccoli 1/2 small carrot, finely grated 1 tablespoon minced dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

July According To the Almanack For July according to the Hagerstown Town and Country Almanack we look for temperatures that are average, with below average precipitation. Weather Watch: The month arrives bringing storms (1,2), then, fair, warm days (3-5). A length hot, humid period (6-10) follows, but more storms are in the air (11,12). Next, it should be fair, very warm (13-15), but more showers, storms creep in (16-20). The days should be fair, very warm (21-24), only to give way to severe storms (25,26). The month winds up hazy, hot, humid (2731). Tornado Watch: Look for severe activity in the area 1,2 and 25,26. Full Moon: Called by many the Buck Moon when male deer are in rut. Others refer to this month’s full moon as either the Hay Moon or Thunder Moon.

Prince Michel Wins Gold With The Le Ducq Lot 89 Prince Michel is celebrating winning a gold medal for its ultra-premium Le Ducq Lot 89 at North American’s largest international competition, the 1995 Inter Vin International. A classic Bordeaux style blend, the Lot 89, as with all wines in the Le Ducq series, is a product of Prince Michel’s 20-acre vineyard in the Napa Valley. In April, judges from both the United States and Canada evaluated 2000 wines form 27 countries. “Winning a gold medal truly places you among the best of the best,” said David Male, vice president of Inter Vin. Price Michel was the only Virginia winery among 35 American wineries selected as gold medalists. The Le Ducq series represents Prince Michel’s finest red wine, rivaling the world’s greatest. Characterized by a deep ruby color with aromas of cedar and chocolate, the Lot 89 offers delightful berry fruit flavors. Only 5400 bottles were produced of this wine. “This is an outstanding wine with great aging potential,” said Chris Johnson, director of winemaking operations at Prince Michel. Consulting for the winemaking team at Prince Michel is Bordeaux enologist Jacques Boissenot who also works for such renowned wineries as Lofite-Rothschild and Chateau Margaux. Prince Michel de Virginia is located 75 miles south of Washington, D.C. in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The winery recently opened a wineshop at the Patriot Plaza in Williamsburg.

Never!; Life in Castleton Cottage, a reminiscence which has been recently published. This interesting paperback was written by Margaret Williams, who with husband, Andy, retired and move from Massachusetts to this area about 1970-71. This story of choosing a location, building a house, moving, getting settled, learning a new life style and meeting a variety of new Southern neighbors, abounds with anecdotes and vignettes featuring majty wellknown personages of the Rappahannock-Culpeper area. Also of interest to those of us who live in the Culpeper-FauquierRappahannock area is Hollow Boy which was published by Rayner Snead of Washington. The sub-titled “Remembrance of Life in the Gid Brown Hollow” gives you the flavor of this 155 page paperback in which the Judge provides an account of the area of his childhood and youth, plus stories from his family, and many photographs. Both of these books make entertain reading, and will be enjoyed by many readers. Both are available from the Corner Shelf “On the Green” at Southgate in Culpeper.

Berms Block Sight and Sound £ By DIANE RELF *• Rappahannock Ncwi ContribnMng Writer * If you want to create privacy, redirect wind, reduce noise or stop erosion around your urban home, you may adapt some of the ecologically Sound methods used in botanical gardens found in large cities. A botanical garden surrounded by an urban environment must create serenity in a sea of visual and audio confusion. One technique to screen out the noise and view of a city to form a low berm or earth mound around the perimeter of the site. If planted with a mix of woody ornamentals, the height of the berm is increased, as is the sight-, sound-, and wind-blocking ability. Low-growing shrubs and herbaceous groundcovers can provide erosion control on the berm. - Keep in Mind Year-Round Appearance When choosing barrier plants, try to visualize their year-round effect. Deciduous trees and shrubs provide an adequate buffer in summer when in leaf, but can leave the site overexposed in winter. However, if you major consideration is blocking noise from neighborhood outdoor summer activities, then deciduous plants should work well. Evergreens are preferable components of a berm if you wish to block noise, sights, and strong winds all year. •* Density and foliage type is also a consideration. Trees with many branches and leaves work better as screening plants than those with sparse foliage. Species such as birch, oak and beech produce a pleasant rustling sound that will mask ambient noise. In addition, oaks and beeches retain some of their leaves well into winter, thus adding to the sight and sound barrier in autumn and early winter. Keep in Mind How High Tree Will Grow " Know the mature heights of your choices for screen plantings before you purchase them. If you desire a 10-foot screen, you should not plant trees that will grow taller than that height. In fact, planting a species too tall for the site will force you to spend additional time pruning, especially if power lines or other overhead obstructions exist. When planting on a berm, consider the height of the earth mound in your calculations. Determine whether the species you are considering are fast-or slowgrowing. If you want an “instant” effect, choose fast growers, but be aware that many of these species have weak wood or short lifespans. Weakwooded trees may require more maintenance over time. Species with short lifespans are best interplanted with species with longer lifespans, so that as the first species weaken with age, the second one will fill in the spaces. Plant Several Species To Avoid Problems Another reason to choose several species is to avoid the devastating result if a disease and insect infestation threatens one species. Having to replace a few plants to fill in holes that develop after a pest attack is better than redoing an entire planting. For a vigorous screen, be sure to select shrubs, trees, and groundcover plants suited to your soil and climate. If, in building up a berm, you change the soil mix or grade, choose plants accordingly. Soil raised up to form a berm should drain well. Alternately, in raising the soil level you may also encounter rapid drying out of the soil unless the mound is covered with an organic mulch, such as wood chips. Whether planted on a berm or not, well-maintained, hardy species give the most enjoyment over the longest period of time.
