Starting with a small crowd in the morning, Washington, Virginia, was filled by the time 11 , candidates for public office gathered on the Courthouse grounds to speak to the assembled people, but many ignored the speakers intent on visiting, eating and shopping. Still most speakers had some supporters in the audience, and all speakers were treated courteously by those specifically gathered to hear the speeches. Those gathered j to raise money for the Cub Scouts at the dunking booth and basketball throw simply ignored the ! politicians. Incumbent Republican Del. Jay fcatzen compared the response of the people of Rappahannock County to the floods and Kirk Davis’s death to the response of the soldiers called on to make the Declaration of Independence a central document in the history of a new nation rather than the heritage of a failed effort. “Those seemingly endless rains claimed loved ones of all ' ages to the heavens whence the pounding had come, and with it massive loss of property and a shedding of tears which will not heal our scars... ! “No less, likely more, than many other Virginians, and other | American, the sons and daughters Of Rappahannock are a friendly, sharing, proud, and good people, fiercely independent, staunch Virginians, and emphatically -Americans.... “You..rose to the occasion this week, and you can take great pride in it.

Most Roads Open Flood Damage Total May Approach $ 1 Million By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Harris Hollow and Bean Hollow received the brunt of the flooding last week. Also hard hit was Route 630 in Flint Hill near Foster’s Packing Shed. On Tuesday, Delegate Jay Katzen said he would be contacting Congressman Wolf and Virginia’s senators to see about having Rappahannock County declared a disaster area so that its residents can receive help from the federal government. Also on Tuesday, Mr. Katzen spoke with George O’N. Urquhart of the Dept, of Emergency Services in Richmond, who will be visiting the county on Thursday with a FEMA employee to inspect evaluate damages in the county. In Harris Hollow, said Ron Marshall, VDOT Chief, “The road was so gutted, there was no road.” In several places, the river ran right down the road. At Mountain Green Farm owned by the Sharp family, not far from the intersection of Routes 622 and<624, the river split in two and ran through the Sharps’ front pasture. Their bridge, like several private bridges in the county, was decimated. Several houses on Route 622 in Harris Hollow were flooded and are now a muddy mess. The side of a house in which James Jordan and Virginia Fletcher lived collapsed under the flood waters, according to neighbor Benny Roy. He also said that their car was flooded along with a satellite dish, gas and oil tanks and stacks of wood. They took refuge at the .Roy house at about 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday. William Smoot’s house was also flooded, and he was working with a bulldozer last Friday to build up some rock and dirt to keep the river off the road. His bridge was also washed out. He said that he lost 13 dogs in the flood, nine of which were puppies. He said that he found one dog’s body up in a tree, at least 15 feet off the ground. The river, which had diverted itself at Mountain Green Farm, ran right through Pete Cave’s house on Route 624. He lost three vehicles, but was able to save one, according to a neighbor. By late in the week, residents living on Route 624 were able to get out See Flood, Page A-2 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Friendly neighbors Brian ‘Smoky’ Colbert and Steve Critzer pitched in to repair Pat Davis’s bridge and yard using Steve Leake’s Blue Ridge Excavating equipment.

School Administrators Get New Assignments Schools Return $31,700 in Unspent Funds to County Coffers By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Both county public schools will start the 1995-96 school year with new principals. At a special meeting last Wednesday the School Board appointed former assistant principal Jack Raines as principal of the high school and former assistant principal Raye Tupper as principal of the elementary school. Mike Tupper, who has been a high school special education teacher, was appointed as the new assistant principal of the high school, and Richard Smith, who held the position of “learning environment coordinator,” will be the new assistant principal of the elementary school. Former elementary school principal David Smith was assigned to the central office as the director of administrative services. In this position he will be responsible for transportation and duties formerly assigned to the “learning environment coordinator.” Helen Williams will replace Margarita Piper as director of pupil personnel, with responsibility for special education and other specialized programs for students. Announcement of this major shuffling of administrative responsibilities was made following an executive session to discuss personnel. At Wednesday’s meeting the School Board also approved moving funds among various budget categories to close the year with all accounts either zeroed out or in the black. At the end of that process the board returned $31,678 of unspent funds to the county’s general fund. School Superintendent David Gangel announced that the school system also expected to receive $24,810 from the state from sales taxes which will also be turned over to the county’s general fund. To balance the books $38,854 was transferred from classroom instruction to health services, homebound instruction, improvement of instruction, office of the principal, and psychological services. Another $13,599 was transferred from building services to the school food fund and equipment services. Following those transfers of funds the classroom instruction fund still showed a balance of slightly over $65,000 and sever* al other categories also showed balances, but the school system received $57,363 less from the state than was anticipated. The result of all that was the amount that was returned to the county’s general fund. However, the school system followed its usual practice of filling the fuel oil and motor vehicle fuel tanks before closing the books for the year. The board approved a declaration of See School, Page A-6 Frazier Wants Supervisors To Keep Control of County Issues, Budget Ron Frazier is seeking the Jackson District seat on the Board of Supervisors because he says after four years as county Republican Party chairman “I’m working hard on state and national issues and watching the county government fall to pieces. “1 left the Board of Supervisors up to its own devices, and I see my representative from Jackson District is largely ineffective,” he added. He said he received “numerous” calls from voters in Jackson District urging him to run. “1 decided after watching the budget process that I should,” he said. Mr. Frazier added, “For the past eight years the Board of Supervisors has delegated more and more of their authority to John McCarthy (county administrator). 1 have a high regard for John McCarthy,” he added. “He is a very able, capable individual, but it is a dangerous precedent in case we were to lose him and hire somebody else.” He said the majority of the board seems to come to meetings “unprepared and unfamiliar with the issues on the agenda.” He said that seems to apply to Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham. Mr. Frazier owns Frazier Electric Service doing household and commercial work mostly outside the county. He and his wife Cathy have two children. Their daughter Kristin, 10, was home schooled. Last year she attended Masanova Christian Academy. Their son Ronnie, 7, is still being home schooled. Both Fraziers come from families with long term roots in the county. “One of my largest beefs is the problem with the school budget,” he said. “We are spending more and more money, and the students are testing lower and lower. 1 think the See Frazier, Page A-6 a y,.. ,jbs & Ron Frazier

► Flood From Page A-l by driving around and going through a pasture owned by Susan Babcock, who lives on the Fodderstack Road. Mr. Marshal! said, “The contractors have to divert the water back into the river before they can start work on the road.” Other residents on Route 622 in Harris Hollow were finally able to get out by Friday or Saturday, coming out the Harris Hollow way instead of through Gid Brown Hollow. Gene and Clarissa Leggett, who live near the old trail to Little Devil’s Stairs, had to rebuild their rock driveway. Their bridge, which was built last year, made it through the flood without damage. The first floor of their house was flooded, not from the river, but from water which got into the house from waterfalls which poured down the mountain behind the house, said Mrs. Leggett. “1 know we have it a lot better than a lot of people out here,” she said. At Pat Davis’s, where the bridge and property were ravaged by the flood, friends came to the rescue with heavy equipment donated by Steve Leake of Blue Ridge Excavating. Steve Critzer, Brian “Smoky” Colbert and Steve Leake worked several days with the equipment to repair the damage. Extensive damage was done to Route 629 in Bean Hollow. One bridge was replaced with two large culverts instead of being rebuilt. Mr. Marshall said that the road will take a while because of the shape it’s in. “It’s just unbelievable,” he said. Beverly Atkins, who lives on Route 629, said that one bridge and three sets of culverts were washed away in the flood. She said that when she got home around 9 p.m. on Monday night, the river was normal, and that the rain all came down after midnight. She went down to check the Jordan River at 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning and was shocked by wbat she saw. She stayed home that<4ay. but walked out, going through the mountains, on Wednesday afternoon. She said the further up the hollow the worse it got. According to Mr. Marshall at VDOT, Routes 630 and 631 were both closed for a few days, but both are passable now. Yesterday it was reported that Route 630 was open, but there was still some water on the road. A section of the bridge on the Washington end of the Fodderstack Road had to be replaced and there was a four to five foot deep drop in the roadbed for a section of it. On Route 729 near Route 618 near Laurel Mills, the flood waters from Battle Run lifted the bridge above the level of the road and set it back down, but the bridge will have to be replaced, according to Mr. Marshall. He said, “That’s one of our mains secondaries. Everybody can get in and out; they just have to go around.” A bridge leading out to Tiger Valley on Route 626 was impassable but has now been repaired. Mr. Marshall said that once the water is back at its normal level all over the county, all of the bridges will be officially inspected. Last week they made judgment calls based on visual inspections of the bridges on whether to allow traffic to use the bridges once they were clear of water and debris, he said. A The bridge on Route 629 at the entrance to Bean Hollow was moved down the Jordan River to a new spot. Public Auction Machinery, Tools And Equipment Sat. July 15,1995 At 10:00 AM.

The bridges at Rock Mills received less damage than they have in many other floods. A bridge near the intersection of Route 647 and 637 in Flint Hill was passable by last Thursday, and Route 634 off of Route 211 near Chester Gap was passable last week but only with a 4-wheel drive. The employees of VDOT have been working from daylight to sundown every day since the flood, including Saturday and Sunday. They had off on July 4 but the contractors did work that day. Mr. Marshall said that the VDOT headquarters from Warrenton, Bealeton 7 know we have it a lot better than a lot of people out here. ’ — Clarissa Leggett and Marshall have also sent employees to help, and they have hired private contractors. “I don’t think people realize the extent of the damage we had...it’s a matter of getting enough help to do what we need to do. If we just used the state forces we would be up into fall trying to complete this job.” Late Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Ennis Jenkins of VDOT reported that all county roads are passable, but drivers should use caution on the roads which received the most damage. Also, the bridge on Route 729 remains to be rebuilt. According to Emergency Services Coordinator Dieter Knuepfer, inspectors from the Federal Emergency Management Agency were due to visit Rappahannock last Monday. As of that time, Rappahannock had not been declared a federal disaster area. However, a FEMA help line has been set up to provide information and assistance to flood victims. Help may be available even if the county is not declared a federal disaster area. The number is 800-525-0321. According to a spokesman at FEMA, flood victims can apply for assistance. Mr. Knuepfer and County extension agent Kenner Love worked on getting an initial damage assessment last week, totalling $373,000. That figure included private property, private buildings, vehicles, potential crop damage, fencing, and farm equipment. Mr. Love estimated that 15 miles of fence were down, 50 private bridges damaged, $25,000 worth of damage to farm machinery and equipment, 1000 acres of land damaged, 150 acres of com and 60 acres of wheat lost. The two men are still working on the assessment, and Mr. Love encourages residents who have damage to report call him at the extension office. Chris Parrish in Castleton said that he lost 85 or 90 bales of hay that he had planned to move on Monday. He also lost 20 acres of com, 12 acres of wheat, fencing and his canoe. County Administrator John McCarthy said that he believes there was well over $1 million of property damage in the county. He said that the county is really lucky that it wasn’t worse than it was, and that no people are homeless. After Kirk Davis’s memorial service on Monday, hundreds of wellwishers attended a reception for Pat Davis at the Washington Fire Hall. People poured into the hall to offer their condolences and support and to remember Mr. Davis. Flood waters knocked out the left side of Janies Jordan and Virginia Fletcher’s house off Route 622.

First Graders To Get Personalized Books By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New» Staff Writer Donna Wine of Chester Gap is making personalized books for upcoming first graders at Rappahannock County Elementary School. The books are part of a learn to read program, and are designed to get the children interested in reading, hopefully for the rest of their lives. The books will be given to the children free of charge, but sponsors are found to pay for the books. Ms. Wine said that 10 sponsorships at $50 each must be sold to pay for an average class size of 25. There are four first grade classes at RCES. Tammy Ritenour is the sponsor coordinator and works with Ms. Wine. She makes the contacts, mostly businesses, to sell the sponsorships. The price was originally going to be $75, but when Ms. Wine found out the class sizes were a little smaller than m other schools, she lowered the price to $50. So far, sponsors have been found for one and one-half of the classes. They hope to do books for the first grade class every year, and if enough sponsors are found, for the kindergarten class too. Both Ms. Wine and Ms. Ritenour are teachers. Ms. Wine teaches fifth grade at Coleman Elementary School in Marshall and has been employed there for 20 years. She said that she loves to read to her students and they love it too. She said she just knows the children at RCES will love the books, expects that parents will get asked to read them over and over again. Ms. Wine’s business is called For You and Yours, and she started it just one year ago. Once she has a little information about the child the book is for, she can add that information to the text of the book, such as the child’s name, and, according to the book chosen, the town the child lives in, pets’ names, friends’ names and family members’ names. Using her computer, Ms. Wine fills in the blanks in the text with the names, prints out the pages, and assembles the book. Everything is proofread and quality is checked before the final assembly, which takes place in Ms. Wine’s office at home, from printing to binding. One book title, I Can Fly, was put together as an example. It is filled with charming illustrations and is 35 pages long. The front page of the books for the first graders will list the names of all sponsors who contributed to the books. Businesses who buy sponsorships can deduct their contribution as a business expense, said Ms. Wine. Two book titles will be available to the first graders: Where in the Zoo and either Teddy Bear Fair or I Can Fly. When the books are delivered, they will come with a Parent Pack which will include a list of suggested activities, topics td explore or related books to read. Ms. Wine said that the goal of the parent pack is to give parents some ideas to explore further. There is a different parent pack for each book. Ms. Wine also sells her books at craft shows. She hopes to get a lap top computer to take with her instead of transporting her large computer around. Books can be purchased directly from Ms. Wine for $14.95, and she may be reached at 635-9152. Planners To Consider Zoning Amendments ; By SHARON KILPATRICK * . Rappahannock News Staff Writer ; The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on several proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance that would bar a number of commercial uses from agricultural and conservation zones at their July 19 meeting. Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser suggested several months ago that the commission restrict some uses allowed by special use permit or special exception and ban others from agricultural zones altogether. Those now allowed that would be banned include post offices, antique/gift shops, museums, and auction establishments. Additional the amendments would add standards for conference centers. They could not provide overnight accommodations. Conference centers for groups up to Town Council Adopts Budget Last Wednesday the Washington Town Council unanimously approved a 1996 town budget of $133,800 and a water budget of $45,500, for a total consolidated budget of $179,300. . The town budget is $9,800 higher than the revised 1995 budget, and the water budget is $6,500 less than the previous year. Total expenses include $34,050 for administration; $32,360 for capital reserves; $12,200 for contributions; $25,700 for employee expenses. r 1 Correction The Middle Street Gallery is, of course, in Washington, not Middleburg.

Starting as soon as flood waters receded, crews were hard at work clearing roads. Recently their work more closely resembled building roads. Routes 626, 624 and 625 in Harris Hollow, Route 629 in Bean Hollow, and routes 630 and 631 in the Huntly area had to be almost completely rebuilt. In some cases rivers and their feeder streams had to be moved back into their beds from the roads before the road rebuilding could start. Road construction at this level has required far more than the work of local VDOT employees. Outside contractors have been employed to assist in the effort. Enormous quantities of material had to be brought in to be used in the reconstruction. Truly awesome machines have been trucked into the county to do the work, and in less than a week everyone who had been trapped at home was able to get out. Almost all sections are passable in ordinary cars now. Citizens of the county owe a debt of gratitude to the many men who worked 12-hour shifts through the week and weekend and into the holiday. July 4, 1995 ^ It has not been easy to get in the mood to celebrate the Fourth of July this year. The devastation of last week’s floods challenged everyone involved. However, the county rallied and brought off another memorable celebration in the Town of Washington. Untold volunteer hours resulted in successful fund raisers for many county groups, and visitors were once again treated to the best of Rappahannock County.. '• The political oratory stayed on schedule. I It’s a long time from July to November, and many issues need to be more fully discussed. Other forums will provide opportunities for that. From this opening salvo we can conclude only that challengers tend to give longer speeches than incumbents. * Maintaining self government is serious and difficult business. Securing our liberty as Americans has constantly required sacrifice. However, it is good from time to time to take time out and have some fun.

From the 911 operator to the Emergency service of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, to Culpeper Hospital’s EMR, the local churches’ prayers, the cards, letters, visits, flowers, calls, gifts, food, chores, companionship, well-wishers by the score? How can one hope for a more caring community in which to live, to work and to share? Although still not able to verbalize the depth of his appreciation, I know that Bill joins me in thanking each and every person who has responded to his sudden illness. We both truly believe that Rappahannock is the best of all worlds because of the people in it. We are grateful to fate for having steered us here more than 32 years ago. Thank you all. MITZIE YOUNG Washington We Have Bike Trails To the Editor: Bike trails and pedestrian lanes in Rappahannock County? C’mon, if you want bike trails then move to Fairfax County. That’s where they lay down asphalt through the woods in an attempt to make you think you are riding through a place like Rappahannock County. We don’t have to pretend. We have the real thing. We have plenty of bike trails which don’t cost an extra penny. They’re called country roads. SUSAN LONGYEAR Washington Editorial Insensitive To the Editor: Your front page article this week renewed the pain that 1 have been feeling since Tuesday in the loss to my family of a very good friend, Kirk Davis. I can’t even begin to imagine the loss to his son, Kirk, one of my son's closest friends since pre-school, his daughter, Nicki or to his wife, Pat, who is my true friend. Apparently whoever choose to write the editorial did not know the same Kirk that I knew, for the father, husband and friend that 1 will remember was a most unmaterialistic person. If he was risking his own personal safety, I believe it was to check on the equipment that he used in his business — a business that he used to take care of a family that he would have put before his own personal safety. I do Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Crowds stroll along Gay Street in Washington on the Fourth of July. L not believe that he would take such a risk for “things.” 1 feel that your editorial was very insensitive and uncaring. I feel it adds more hurt and pain to a week that has already hurt enough. ELLEN B. JOBACK Flint Hill Defeat Denial To the Editor: I used to submit items from time to time to add a little sparkle for your readers. Sometimes it worked, but even when it did not, it added a little sparkle to my ego. Once every year or so I would discuss in some manner the national and local community problem of addictions, drugs and alcohol. 1 would suggest to the editor (he or she) that when listing the local District Court activity the addiction cases (drugs or alcohol) be in a separate column. It is a well known fact that denial by both the victim and his or her family stands in the way or recovery. The user, or the alcoholic believes, or tries to believe, that nobody knows. Of course, when the user is really addicted, Everybody knows. By seeing one’s name in the list of DWI’s they cannot fool their friends and neighbors any more and be one step closer to a safer, productive and happy life. Previous editors have said to me, “I am not going to hurt anyone’s feelings.” It seems to me that when the choice is between offending or saving a life it would an obvious choice. What say you, present editor? WALTER DAY Flint Hill Editor's note: Since the Rappahannock News receives the district court docket late Tuesday afternoon, it would be too difficult logisticallv to split it into two lists. When The Echo Died To the Editor: While doing some genealogical research at Culpeper Town and County Library last week I happened upon an interesting item concerning the fate of my native Rappahannock’s first newspaper. I’ve forwarded this on to you that you might print the same in today’s News. Found in the Friday morning, June 9, 1882 issue of The Exponent and General Advertiser from Culpeper. “In Memorium “It is with sincere regret that we announce the suspension of our neighbor, the Blue Ridge Echo, of Washington, Rappahannock County. In the issue of last week, the proprietors announced that its publication would cease. “The Echo has been a marvel to us ever since we have been in position, to appreciate the difficulties of a country newspaper. Situated in a small county, not containing a single market town, remote from any railroad, its advertising patronage was necessarily very limited, and it was obliged to rely for support upon its subscription list. It is well known that the present subscription rates for newspaper scarcely pay for the paper and press work. Yet, with all its disadvantages, the Echo was a large, newsy well conducted and well edited paper. It deserved a better fate. But it does not complain of a want of proper spirit among the citizens of its county. It frankly confesses that they did all that could be expected and that its suspension was because there was not sufficient field for a paper. The citizens of our sister county sustain a serious loss in the suspension of the Echo but none will regret more sincerely than The Exponent the absence of this esteemed friend from our table hereafter. “The editors chose their announcement in the following appropriate language. ‘But we do not regret the past, we are proud of the record our unit ed purpose of heart and mind has accomplished, for though grave errors have marked our way it was ever the purpose of The Echo to espouse the cause of honor, truth and justice, to inculcate a higher standard of public faith and private morals, to alleviate the sorrows of the distressed, to make the journey of life less toilsome and tempestuous. How far short of our purpose we have fallen is not for us to judge, but even a continued attempt to accomplish this purpose affords a reward richer than pure gold. ‘But now when the die is cast; when the silver cord is about to be snapped, should we follow the impulses of our nature rather than our better judgment, this article would be turned into a war-whoop, rallying every energy to the defense and support of the principles guarded and maintained in the past, rather than to the funeral dirge of The Blue Ridge Echo.’” WAYNE F. BALDWIN Leon County Needs Vital Village Centers By JAMES P. GANNON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Imagine that a time machine could take you back a century in Rappahannock County. What would you find in its towns and villages? Here, lets stroll through Flint Hill. There are four general stores, an agricultural implement dealer, two blacksmith-wheelwrights, a fertilizer agent, and two carriage and wagon makers. Walking further, we discover a hotel, a boarding house, a lumber dealer, two grist mills, and two saw mills. Next we come upon a saddle maker’s shop, a carpenter, a millwright, three physicians (who make house calls), an undertaker, a wool dealer, and, at last, a saloon. We move on to Sperryville. In this lively village, we find three stores, a hotel, three flour and com mills, a saw mill, two doctor’s offices, a tannery, and two saloons. Down the pike in Woodville, we count four general stores, a hotel, a lawyer’s office, a physician, two com and flour mills, and a combination undertaker and wagon maker (either way, he can send you.) These facts, taken from the history of Rappahannock county written by Elizabeth and C.E. Johnson Jr., and based on business directories of a century ago, make a telling point that should be kept in mind as people here ponder their visions of this county’s future. A hundred years ago, the county’s villages were vital centers of commerce, employment, culture and social life. They throbbed with activity and business, and offered the services and goods needed for everyday life. They were the heartbeat of Rappahannock. I believe that any planning process designed to shape Rappahannock’s future must include strategies to revitalize our towns and villages as places of business, pleasure, culture and attractive residence. Let’s face it: The county’s villages are less vital than they were 100 years ago, and more threatened by this society’s tendency to strangle and suffocate small towns and villages in favor of suburbs, strip malls along highways and Sprawl-Marts. This is what is going on all around us, and this is what will happen in Rappahannock, too, if we don’t deliberately and imaginatively create a different vision of this county. Instead of considering new, four-lane bypasses of our villages, we should be discussing how to make them more attractive places for small businesses and for people seeking affordable homes. This won’t happen without some creative imagination by the County Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. Revitalizing our towns and villages, and making them magnets for new commerce and population growth, goes hand-inhand with a strategy of preserving Rappahanrtock’s priceless landscape of farms, woods, uncluttered roads and open spaces. By making our towns and villages more attractive places in which to five, work and do business, we make it less likely that Rappahannock will wind up with four-and-six-lane highways lined both sides with franchised tickytacky. We can’t recreate the 1890s, of course. Grist mills and wagon-makers won’t make a comeback, no matter what we do. But there are some 20th century tools we can use (and 21st Century visions we can be inspired by) that could inject new life and hope into our towns and villages. We could make it more attractive for people contemplating a small business to locate it in town. Some big cities are using so-called “enterprise zones” to revitalize slums. The county could declare its towns and villages enterprise zones for new business, offering incentives such as propertytax abatement for three-to-five years to businesses that employ Rappahannock residents. Why not think about a Rappahannock Venture Fund to help finance new start-up enterprises? The county could sell, say, $1 million worth of tax-free bonds to create a revolving fund that would offer low-cost loans and incentive grants to county residents who wish to open a business — in one of the., designated villages. Yes, it would mean the county, was going into debt to help small businesses —. but that would be a long-term investment in business growth, jobs, and village revitalization, that would pay off in taxes later. . ,, Why not plan and zone for attractive, affordable, clustered housing in the towns and villages? Would, a modest townhouse development, clustered around' a village green and subject to architectural nnd. environmental regulation, wreck Flint Hill op Woodville? On the contrary, I believe it would make them more vital places to live, and more attractive places in which to locate a store, workn shop or serve business. Rappahannock is at a crossroads. Spraxyl is, pressing in from all sides. We can let it run over and ruin this beautiful, peaceful place, or we cart plan another course for our future. Reviving our towns and villages, and preserving pur rural landscapes, offers possibilities both for growth and for preservation. ** The alternative is to be by-passed, strip-malletC ridge-topped and Sprawl-Marted to death. It’s yout choice, Rappahannock.

Looking for Some Good Stuff By JAMES J. KILPATRICK I'arveml Frtu Syndicate A few weeks ago a court in Tacoma, Wash., cracked down on a local travel firm. It seems the outfit had sold memberships in its travel club, but had failed to deliver on the elegant services it had promised. An inspired copy editor at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer provided a classic headline: “Tour allure a lie, court finds in travel club suit.” Beautiful. Two readers in Tacoma sent me the clipping, which promptly went into the file labeled “Good Stuff.” It’s a skimpy file. Readers send me hundreds of Horrid Examples of bad grammar and worse syntax; I yearn for citations of an apt simile or a wellturned phrase. Please watch for bits of good writing in newspapers, magazines and current books. There is sound to be a lot of Good Stuff out here. It turns up in headlines. Last Xugust, as the baseball strike got igly, the Birmingham (Ala.) News aptioned a story of discontent: “Most ans don’t care if they never come back.” A Scripps-Howard correspondent filed a feature from Amsterdam on smoking in Europe. Smokers light up anywhere, even though some laws attempt to curb the nasty habit. France adopted a tough anti-smoking law last year, but it is rarely enforced. Reported the correspondent: “Trendy Paris restaurants such as the Brasserie Lipp, favored by France’s caviar left, responded by putting the nonsmoking tables on the second floor — the social equivalent of Siberia.” Caviar left! That’s the way to coin a silver phrase. A staff writer for the Rocky Mountain News covered a basketball game in which Portland beat Denver 109-94. It was “the most one-sided display of violence since Little Big Horn.” The Trail Blazers beat the Nuggets “by getting more free throws than the most accurate kid at a carnival bottle toss.” Some of the best writing in our newspapers appears on the sports pages. Scott Fowler of the Charlotte (N.C.) Observer wrote about Dan Marino. “He is the quarterback with a right arm straight from Zeus and a right leg that came straight from Achilles.” The allusions were right on target: Zeus threw thunderbolts, and Achilles suffered mortally from his vulnerable heel. Good writing turns up in surprising places. I can’t cite the newspaper, but the item had to do with a misfortune at the Stanwood American Legion New Year’s Eve dance. “Someone took the wrong ladies coat, a three-quarter length, pie-cherry color with Christmas-gift black leather gloves in the pocket.” Dame Rebecca West, who wrote powerfully descriptive prose, couldn’t have described the coat’s color more exactly- lyThe Chicago Sun-Times reported a burgeoning controversy when a suburban telephone company sprang new area codes on its patrons. The change “is being foisted on the towns with all the thoughtful planning of a conventioneer aiming a water balloon.” In The Wall Street Journal two years ago, film critic Julie Salamon favorably reviewed “The Last Seduction.” She traced the flickering career of director John Dahl, whose “path to glory at times seems to have been lighted by a pocket flashlight.” Nice line. Coverage of the O.J. Simpson trail has produced some first-rate writing. 1 especially liked a comment by Anna Quindlen of The New York Times: “But what about the rights of the nearly decapitated Nicole, who, instead of hot-and-cold running lawyers like the well-heeled O.J., sometimes seems to have no one but her family to defend her?...The jury pool may already have been polluted by some creeping sense that Nicole had a little more fun than a mother of two should, that she was too much spandex and too little apron.” One of the South’s most gifted writers was the late Jim Dance of The Miami Herald. The Good Stuff file disgorged a column he wrote in 1982 when a reader complained that he used too many big words. Jim took no sass from anyone: “Thank you, Mr. Riso. Perhaps you missed my earlier policy statement wherein 1 explained that this is a joint-effort column, designed to be just as hard to read as it is hard to write. This seems only fair to me. Why should 1 look up all the words in the dictionary in the first place if in the second place you are just laid back in your E-Z Boy Recliner waiting for me to serve up two-syllable snacks that lose their full flavor when they are rendered down from their original full-strength succulence?” In the ephemeral world of newspapering, that was English as it should be writ. Good stuff! Send me more of it. Copyright 1995 Universal Press Syndicate Camper Enjoys 4-H Camp By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock News Summer Intern Summer camp is an experience many people find to be one of their fondest childhood memories. Every year the veterans find their way back to their favorite camps while the ■ rookies,with their parents assistance, sort through piles of brochures in a search for one that meets their criteria. This year was no exception and on Monday, June 26 the first day of 4H Day Camp campers awoke early so they could be at their bus stops on time. These stops included Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington which left at 8:30 a.m. and Mayhugh’s in Amissville which departed at 8 a.m. After a noisy ride to the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center in Harmony Hollow the children got off the buses and found their group leaders. They then had roll call and sang songs. “We sang the ‘Bushy Tail Squirrel’ one, but they didn’t do it right.” said Jessica Lee, age six. After this the group went to their fifst class. For some this was kite making, a course taught by Heidi Eastham. “We helped make a huge Shenandoah University To Offer B.S. In Nursing Shenandoah University’s School of Health Professions, Division of Nursing proudly announces that their Baccalaureate Nursing (BSN) Program has been highly recommended for accreditation by the National League for Nursing (NLN). Site visitors for the NLN were on campus the week of April 11-14, to review the program and meet with administrators and faculty. Summing up her accreditation visit, NLN representative Dr. Jeanne Paletta said, “In my 13 years of reviewing nursing programs I have never seen such an outstanding combination of quality students, faculty and curriculum.” She also commented that the community involvement demonstrated by faculty and students should serve as a model for other nursing programs. The BSN program offers registered nurses the opportunity to achieve a baccalaureate degree in hursing in one year of full-time study. RECYCLE ~ # kite,” Jessica commented. First period lasted from 9:15 to 10 a.m. Jessica said her second class was bracelet making. What was it really? Crafts. The class was taught by Melody Richardson and Amanda Brown. On Monday the class made bracelets. After this the group had a fifteen minute snack. “I had animal crackers and green lemonade,” declared Jessica. The break was followed by a third class, cooking. During this class Robyn Frye showed the children how to make and eat Jello. From 12 to 12:40 p.m. all the campers went swimming. “On the way to the pool we sang the ‘Little Froggy’ song,” Jessica began. “When we got there we played beach ball and dived off the diving board.” She told of another game they played in the pool. “If you could do one flip off the board you got to do three more, I did six!” After swimming the group returned to the pavilion where they ate lunch with their tribes. This concept was a little hazy to Jessica but after quitea bit of prying she said she was from the Mattaponi tribe. “We had green lemonade again during lunch,” she said. At 1:30 they left for fourth period. This was gardening, or as Jessica called it “Planting Stuff.” The class was taught by Julie Estes. Later that afternoon the campers watched an assembly by Rob Lightbum about “snakes, lizards, the tadpoles.” After this the campers helped clean up and at 3 they boarded the buses to return home. Camp was canceled for the rest of the week due to water. Refunds are being given to those who attended. Did they have a good time? “Yeah!, I knew six people there,” Jessica explained.

Lawyers Offer Help to Victims Attorneys from around the Commonwealth of Virginia have mobilized to provide free disasterrelated legal assistance to flood victims. Legal help is available for disaster victims who face insurance issues, landlord-tenant problems, home repair contracts, home solicitation, lost legal papers, and more. The Crisis Task Force of the Virginia State Bar and the Virginia Bar Association in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Virginia Department of Emergency Services, hse arranged for volunteer attorneys to staff Disaster Application Centers at Madison County High School and in Rockbridge County. The centers will be open through Saturday from 9 a m. until 7 p.m. Interested persons should remember to bring to the center any available legal documents relating to their questions, such as insurance policies, contracts, leases, mortgage papers, social security cards and so forth. The Crisis Task Force is led by Michael W. Smith, president of the Virginia State bar, and R. Terrence Ney, president of the Virginia Bar Association. It wqs established last year as part of the bar groups’ joint Emergency Legal Services Response Plan to ensure that the organized bar can respond quickly, effectively and appropriately to assist Virginia disaster victims. Attorneys interested in joining the volunteer effort are urged to call Mary Yancey Spencer at the Virginia State Bar at (804) 775-0575 or Harry M. Johnson at (804) 788-8784. Culpeper, Fauquier Hospitals Split Cost of Mobile Imager Culpeper Memorial Hospital and Fauquier Hospital are sharing the cost a new magnetic resonance imaging scanner. The mobile unit cost $1.4 million. By sharing the cost CMH can pass along a savings of $300 to each scan patient, according to William A. Gravely Jr.f president of CMH. For several years CMH had a contract with a supplier. The new MR1 is owned by Piedmont Movile Diagnostics, a limited liability partnership of Culpeper Memorial Hospital and Fauquier Hospital. Jointly purchasing the unit with Fauquier has enabled the hospital to save money and provide better service, Mr. Gravely said. The hospitals filed the certificate of need jointly. The new scanner has a larger bore or opening that gives patients more space during the procedure. It shows detailed cross-sections of the body in any plane. “The new magnetic resonance service offers several advantages over the previous one,” said Dr. Peter E. Nielson, the readiologist who reads the scans. “Resolution is much higher with this more modern and higher field-strength magnet. The resulting images are of substantially better quality for the time utilized.” As a rule, patients with cardiac pacemakers are restricted from MR imaging, and pregnant women or patients with certain metallic surgical implants may not be eligible for MR examination. i Peebles Where Quality and Value are Always in Style ROYAL PLAZA • FRONT ROYAL, VA • (540) 635-3101 • HOURS: SUN. 12-5; MON.-SAT. 10-9 LURAY SHOPPING CENTER • LURAY, VA • (540) 743-1110 • HOURS SUN. 1230-530; MON.-FRI. 10-8; SAT. 9-8 WARRENTON CENTER • WARRENTON, VA • (540) 347-1820 • HOURS: MON.-SAT. 10-9; SUN. 12-5

► Fourth From Page A-l less fortunate, as we celebrate our surroundings and our abundance, do give thanks for the courage of others who realized a vision which produced a nation — the finest the world has known.” Democratic challenger Sue Scheer took the offensive saying “who we are, why we live her, and what we want for our families is not being defended by the man who represents us today in Richmond.” 1 She said she got into the race to “make things better.” She said Del. Katzen and Gov. George Allen have “outsider’s agenda”s for this region. Specifically, she criticised the effort to support the Disney theme park in western Prince William. “Gerge Allen and Jay Katzen bought the whole package, gave away SI60 million of taxpayers dollars. They told us we’d all come out ahead. Well, a lot of us around here didn’t buy it, and decided to make the fight. My entire family spent the better part of a year in a very lopsided battle. And all the while we listened to Allen and Katzen tell us it was a ‘done deal.’” • She called Gov. Allen’s policies “a total assault on the environment” and said “There’s a better way to guarantee clean air and water and still guarantee jobs for our children.” She said she dreamed of being able to live in this part of Virginia, and her dream came true. “After 30 years, I think I know where we all live and why we live here. We’re not afraid of change. We just want change to fit the dream we have for our children. And I firmly believe that I understand that dream much better than Jay Katzen. And that dream is what our independence and the Fourth of July are all about.” Their speeches were preceded by talks by candidates for Sheriff incumbent John Henry Woodward and challenger Gary Settle, incumbent supervisor from Wakefield District Hubert S. Gilkey and challenger Roger Welch, incumbent supervisors, Mike Massie in Hampton District and Robert Anderson in StonewallHawthom District, treasurer Frances Foster and School Board candidate Libby Whetzel. Mr. Settle said his years of training first withthe Rappahannock Sheriffs Office and then with the State Police have prepared him for serving as Sheriff. He said he has experience as leader of a SWAT team dealing with drug issues. “I will do anything I can to put the lid on drug use,” he said. He said he is also trained in public relations and administration after completing a 10-month course and serving as a supervisor. “I want to lead in community policing,” he said. He emphasized the importance of training for Sheriff's Office employees and being available to the public. “I won’t let you down,” he told the audience. “If you give me that chance, we’ll have a better tomorrow.” Sheriff Woodward said he had experience in all aspects of runnning the department after 12 years. “I’m asking for your support,” he said, but he also said, “Today is not a day to be debating. Today is a day of celebration.” Roger Welch emphasized the variety of his experience in seeking the position of supervisor from Wakefield Disrict. He said he thinks of himself as a people person and said he would seek advice from all the citizens. He said the true wealth of the county is its people, not the land, and said, as he has before, “The next 20 years will be most important” for Rappahannock County. “Growth needs to be managed properly and very carefully....I want to be a representative, not a politician.” Incumbent Wakefield District representative Hubert Gilkey said he was proud of the things accomplished in the 16 years he has been on the Board of Supervisors. He said the county’s zoning ordinance has served to keep the county rural and people in other parts of the state look to Rappahannock for the way to do that. “I think we have the best zoning ordinance in the state,” he said. He said the schools have improved during his tenure and he feels they are among the best in the state. He said the landfill, jail addition and dispatch center have been added during those years. He added that he is available to all the people of the county. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said the county needs to build on its volunteer base in the future. “We can’t expect the government to do everything for us,” he said. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson said, “We’ve tried to run the county’s business the way you would run your own....and to keep Rappahannock the way it is.” Libby Whetzel said she viewed public education from the points of view of a former teacher, parent and grandparent and volunteer in the literacy program. “I believe in Biblically based values,” she said. “Children should be encouraged to strive for excellence. It’s the adults’ responsibility to provide a place with an atmosphere conducive to learning.” Frances Foster said, “It’s been a privilege to serve as the county treasurer. I would like to thank everyone and ask for your support and vote.” At one point during the afternoon rain drove most people under shelter, and it threatened throughout the evening festivities, but most events went as scheduled. 1111540^675-3338 Only $3.95 per week for a 1 inch space ANTIQUES duc ire s s k Open Fri..

The state’s Department of Environmental Quality has denied the school the right to discharge from the lagoon until it is upgraded. School cannot begin with the school still under a “no discharge” order. The declaration of emergency will allow school officials to bypass certain provisions of the Public Procurement Act in contracting to have work done on the lagoon. Dr. Gangel said bidding will still be done on a competitive basis but without the requirement for advertising and the waiting periods for bids. Dr. Gangel said bids have already been accepted for several parts of the project, and work can begin as soon as the weather improves. Work must begin by pumping and hauling about 350,000 gallons of water and waste from the lagoon. It will be transported to the Warrenton sewage treatment plant. The board also voted to request an extension from the state for spending bond funds for the elementary addition. About $250,000 remains from the project, and the school system hopes to complete the work on the lagoon and still have funds left over for work on the high school athletic facilities. However, until the work on the lagoon is completed the board does not know what funds it will have for other projects, and it would be difficult to wait until that is known and still have time to bid other projects before November, the original date for spending the bond funds. Ellen Manson appeared before the board to request the use of the school parking lots and buses and drivers on a contingency basis to help with parking for the Town of Washington’s Fourth of July event. She said that several lots organizers had hoped to use in town would not be available because of the rainy weather. The board approved her request. I ► Frazier From Page A-l kids are getting a bum deal.” He said he does not like the Family Life Curriculum and believes it “takes too much time out of the school day.” He said he also believes the students need a “good background in phonics, rather, than the whole language approach to reading and spelling.” He noted that he is a candidate for supervisor not the School Board, but said as a supervisor he would be ‘responsible for the way the money is spent.” He is hopeful the elected School Board, with at least two seats going to new members “will bring an influx of new ideas...I’ll take a hard look at what they propose,” he said. Mr. Frazier said he is also concerned that the landfill “costs too much money. That’s something I would look into.” He added, “We bury a lot of wood products....If we keep burying wood products, we’re just filling up landfill space,” he said suggesting they should be recycled. Mr. Frazier said he is concerned that the county is too dependent on taxes on houses for its revenue. “If we don’t find ways to expand the tax base, all we’re doing is taxing houses. Houses don’t pay for themselves. We have to have some sort of mixture of commercial, light industry and residential to keep public schools afloat without horrendously high taxes.” The Culpeper Pain Center 800 Sunset Lane, Culpeper Michael W.

VADLR He noted that a lot of old packing sheds vacant and said the county should look for commercial or clean industrial users for these buildings. He also said the county was unwise to discourage the proposal for a golf course near Woodville. He said he agrees with a friend who said, “The supervisors represents the county government, not the people who elected them.” “We’re creating a mini-bureaucracy,” Mr. Frazier added. He said that when the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on the budget, “John McCarthy was answering all the questions.” He said he also observed that Col. Bingham “is not taken seriously by the other members.” Last Thursday the county Republican committee endorsed Mr. Frazier for the Board of Supervisors and Richard Wood, also from Jackson District, for the School Board. Mr. Frazier said they were the only candidates who sought the party endorsement. While no meetings are scheduled to consider endorsing other candidates, he said the party would be willing to meet and consider endorsing other candidates if it is asked. His term as party chairman ends next March. “It’s been fun and enlightening, but I wouldn’t want to do both at the same time,” he said. If he is elected, the period between January and March would not be a busy time for the party, he said. Mr. Frazier concluded, “I’ve worked with our state and regional representatives, the governor and attorney general and some of their reform proposals. I have prior knowledge of the responsibilities of a Board of Supervisors member. I believe I could hit the ground running, and the citizens wouldn’t have to be worried about that.” —By SHARON KILPATRICK Pearcy Is LFCC Grad Maggi Pearcy graduated summa cum laude from Lord Fairfax Community College on May 12 with an A.A. degree in Liberal Arts and Science.

Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News Country* Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, JULY 5,1995 ' By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rapptk WHHxk Niwi Coatribattag Writer A bigger and better Mountainside Market has edged closer to the mountains to give Rappahannock County its first honcst-to-goodness grocery store. For those whose business takes them regularly to — or through — Warrenton, Culpeper or Front Royal, the county’s lack of a supermarket is hardly noticed. But for others who make the weekly 30-to60 mile trip to there and back again - just for groceries, the opening of an expanded Mountainside Market in nearby Sperryville is an event. In fact, the news value of the occurrence matches that of Giant coming to. Warrenton 10 years ago; these days, just as when Giant arrived in 1986, at any gathering of more than « half-dozen Rappahannock people, someone’s bound to ask, “Have you been to the new store?” And new it is. Proprietors Rae and Brian Ross have five times the space and 10 times the merchandise of Mountainside’s former home on the corner of Gay Street in Washington. “Plus 100 times the light,” noted an exuberant Rae Ross, waving an arm to encompass the skylight and a row of picture win* dows. Together, she and Brian Ross bring to their expanded venture 40 years of experience in, or related to, food merchandising. Mrs. Ross’s enterprises were a fixture in the town of Washington for two decades. She opened Nature’s Foods in the old Rush River Gallery in 1975, hopped a street over to the Ice House in 1978, and when she outgrew that space, moved to the post office building at the center of town with both a natural foods store and a restaurant, Nature’s Qafe. But raising children and running a busy seven-day-aweek operation proved too demanding, so she retrenched and reorganized to a renamed natural and gourmet foods store in the white frame house across the street from Trinity Church. Mr. Ross was vice-president for marketing at Ross Industries in Midland for 20 years. “We produced food processing machinery for the big supermarkets and restaurant chains,” he explained. “So I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours selling to and talking to the corporate executives, and in the process, I The cheese selection is one of Mrs. Ross's prides. te«yfr»n»* Mr. Ross is particularly pleased with the beer selection. — picked up a lot about trends in food marketing. Of course, I don’t have Rae’s expertise. She’s the boss,” he added, grinning. “But shels also a great teacher, and I’m a quick learner. They joined personal forces, marrying in 1988, but joining business forces wasn’t an option, at least not then. The old Mountainside Market wasn’t big enough for both of them. “It was definitely a second-income proposition,” Mrs. Ross said. “And there wasn’t any space to grow.” They spent a year looking for property in .or near Rappahannock’s county seat. “We both wanted to stay in Washington, but nothing was available,” she added. They broadened the search and found the right site on the outskirts of Sperryville. By then, their business vision had changed. The location on the highway, leading up to Shenandoah National Park, was perfect for tapping into the tourist traffic. Not only would they carry merchandise targeted to hikers, campers and leaf watchers, but the structure they planned to build grew to include smaller auxiliary shops that, like Mountainside, would serve both travelers and local people. The new Mountainside is a cross between the Fresh Fields that are multiplying throughout the Washington metropolitan area and the traditional markets that serve towns large and small on the European continent. Like JL J Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Brian and Rae Ross show off cappuccino machine and other liquid refreshments. ground flavor), everything necessary for a last-minute dinner party with a southwestern or Thai theme, pastas of every shape and style, salsas that register from top to bottom on the “ We 'd love to get ideas and feedback from everyone in the county. We want this to be a community-oriented family business, and for that to happen, we have to know the needs of the community. ” —Brian Ross Fresh Fields, the selection includes organically grown fruits and vegetables as well as produce grown by standard farming methods. And like Fresh Fields, Mountainside offers bread baked fresh daily with a taste that inspires rave reviews. As in European markets, there’s a wide selection of distinctive cheeses (at prices to rival the chain stores). Plus there’s the homey, comfortable atmosphere that comes when home and shop are one; above the Ross family business is the Ross family residence. “It’s so convenient and comfortable. We’re never very far away if our children (Jessica, 17; B.J., 5 and Stevie, 3) need us,” Mrs. Ross said. Reflective of the sophisticated and educated tastes of Rappahannock County, Mountainside also has fine wines, gourmet coffees (in whole bean form for that unbeatable fresh Scofield scale for hot pepper heat, Italian sorbets' and the favorite flavors of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream for dessert and oh, so much more. The “more” includes the special touches that are the Rosses own. It’s Mr. Ross who insisted on a beer selection unmatched this side of Manassas. “There’s been a beer renaissance in America,” he said. “For wine, everyone has known for a long time that'there’s a whole world out there beyond Gallo. With the growth in micro breweries and imports, there’s now a big world for beer drinkers, too.” (And for those who aren’t lager explorers, Mountainside also has Busch, Bud and other traditional brews.) Mr. Ross also gets the credit for the deflnitelynot-Muzack background music — James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt and the like — that plays at Mountainside. It’s Mrs. Ross who insisted on cappuccino and expresso coffee, a deli counter with the same scrumptious sandwiches and salads that were a hallmark at Nature’s Cafe, and the picnic tables, gliders and comfortable chairs that beg for sitting and sipping on the big front porch. She is also the reason why the front corner of Mountainside is invitingly furnished with benches and boxes of toys and books (soon to be joined by little tables and chairs). “I have children. I know what it’s like to go to a store with kids! So I wanted to be sure we reserved some space for them — a spot where they can play while their parents shop.” As with any move, the arranging and organizing takes time. Three weeks after the store’s opening, they are still filling shelves and bringing services on line. Soon, the deli counter will have fresh foods to take home and reheat for dinner. Eventually, there will be a ball field, children’s playground and apothecary herb garden outside. “And we’re looking for ways to grow and new things to carry,” Mr. Ross added. “We’d love to get ideas and feedback from everyone in the county. We want this to be a community-oriented family business, and for that to happen, we have to know the needs of the community.” 1 Mountainside Market is on Route 211 west of Sperryville next to High-on-the-Hog Barbecue. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. The store’s grand opening, complete with free samples, door prizes and live music by the Okay’s Band, is set for Saturday, July 22. For more information, call Mountainside at 987-9100. Porch furniture makes customers feel welcome. Bluemont Concerts Come To Warrenton and Culpeper This weekend brings two more concerts in the Bluemont Concert Series to Warrenton and Culpeper. On Saturday, July 8, Big Blow and the Bushwackers will be performing on the lawn of the old Warren Green in downtown Warrenton. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m.; admission is $3 per person. On Sunday, July 9, the Country Gentlemen will be performing on the green of the old Culpeper Courthouse in downtown Culpeper. The concert begins at 7 p.m.; admission is $3 per person. Big Blow and the Bushwackers combine a stranded front-line secondline old time jazz format with creative performances and instrumentation. Arts Grants Awarded The Virginia Commission for the Arts announced two grants to benefit the arts in Rappahannock County were awarded in June. Ki Theatre received a grant of $4,600 for general operating support, and the high school recieved a $2,250 matching grant for an antist-in-residency program. ^ They originated on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to explore musical possibilities of the didjeridoo, and instrument native to Australia which creates a constant and colorful bass line. And what have they come up with? A striking variety of familiar folk styles in a fresh setting. In concert, the five-piece band currently favors traditional music from England, Ireland, Brittany, New Zealand, Australia and the Appalachians, plus a large dose of their own vibrant material. Accompanying the didjeridoo are mandolin and mandola, trombone and tuba, crumhorn and percussion, sax and musical saw, and an armament of unusual-often hand-made-instruments. Their inventions include the funky diva, the slide-o-didj and the flopohone. The Country Gentleman have been at the forefront of Bluegrass music since 1957. Led by Charlie Waller’s baritone vocals and guitar playing, this band has had as members such luminaries as Ricky Scaggs, Doyle Lawson, Bill Emerson, Eddie Adcock, Jimmy Gaudreau, John Duffy, Bill Yates and others. The Country Gentleman continue their great tradition with Waller at lead, joined by Dwight McCall on mandolin and tenor vocals, Guy Corbett on b^njo and vocals and Ronnie Davis on bass.

Children Enjoy Bible School By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock Newt Summer Intern The Trinity Episcopal and Washington Baptist churches sponsored their annual Vacation Bible School (VBS) last month. A total of 48 children ages three years to seventh grade and an additional eleven junior helpers attended classes from 9 a.m. until noon at the Washington Baptist Church on Monday morning. Many adults were involved in making the program a success. April Heddleston, Lucy Oliver and Bill Welch assisted with the organization of this summer’s VBS. Music was provided by Lorraine Duisit and Charlotte Nichols. The title of this year’s program was “Jesus is the rock of our salvation.” Thus the children and their teachers planted a rock garden Friday at “The Quiet Spot” near Trinity Episcopal Church. Curriculum for this year’s program was composed by the event’s teachers and organizers. The group spent several months planning activities and lessons. Wine Wins Again, Gray Ghost Gets Another Bronze Medel Gray Ghost Vineyards received its second medal in less than a month for its 1994 Chardonnay. A Bronze Medal was awarded at the International Eastern Wine Competition held in New York in June.

Gray Ghost, open on the weekends from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., will be celebrating its first anniversary with a special Open House on Saturday and Sunday, July 8 and 9.

She was recently selected as “1995 Woman of the Year” by the Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association’s Women’s Auxiliary. She was chosen among women from 53 churches. Mrs. Jennings will be 99 Sept. 4 and still lives alone. She’s a fascinating person. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Kirk Davis who drowned in the flood waters of the Rush River on Tuesday. Our area had about 10 inches of rain on Tuesday alone. I understand there were over 200 roads and bridges closed, including Route 29 to Charlottesville. There was an excellent writeup in last week’s Rappahannock News on the Dixie Meadows Farm, featuring a zebra, white donkey, water buffaloes, and Brahman cattle. Photos also included Helen Dixon and her granddaughter, Melissa Dixon.

Perfect Pickles - Pointers, Process By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Brined pickles, also called fermented pickles, go through a curing process of about three weeks. Curing changes cucumber color from bright green to an olive or yellow green. The interior of the cucumber becomes uniformly tender and firm; not hard, rubbery, shriveled, soft or mushy. The salt used in making brined pickles and sauerkraut not only provides characteristic flavor but is also vial to safety. Stone crocks, glass jars and bowls, and food-grade plastic containers are suitable containers for fermenting fresh vegetables. Non-foodgrade plastic containers may be used if lined with a food-grade plastic bag. Be certain that foods contact only food-grade products. Do not use garbage bags or trash liners. A onegallon container will hold five pounds of fresh vegetables. Vegetables must be kept under the brine while fermenting. A dinner plate or glass pie plate weighted down with glass jars or a plastic bag filled w;ith water works nicely. Fresh-pack or quick-process pickles are brined for several hours or overnight, then drained and combined with boiling-hot-vinegar, spices, and other seasonings. These are quick and easy to prepare. They have a tart, pungent flavor. Fresh-pack whole cucumbers are olive green, crisp, tender, and firm. While these products may be prepared safely with reduced or no salt, both flavor and texture will be, poorer. The fruits and vegetables from which pickles are made should be of good quality, firm in texture, and free from bruises, decay or mold. Overmature fruits and vegetables will shrivel during the pickling procedure. Use fruits and vegetables as soon as possible. If there is a delay of more than a few hours, refrigerate. Use unwaxed cucumbers for pickling whole so the brine can penetrate. Wash thoroughly. Be sure to remove all blossoms from cucumbers as they may contain enzymes which cause softening of cucumbers. Sort for uniform size. Correct proportions of fruit or vegetables, sugar, salt, vinegar, and spices are essential for successful pickling. Calcium in lime does improve pickle firmness. Food-grade lime may be used as a lime-water solution for soaking fresh cucumbers 12 to 24 hours before pickling them. Excess lime must be removed by a series of fresh-water soaks. Vinegar serves two purposes in pickle making — that of preserving the product and of modifying its taste. The addition of water weakens the vinegar. If a less sour product is preferred, add sugar rather than decrease vinegar. Use a cider or white distilled vinegar of 4to-6 percent acidity. Cider vinegar, with its mellow acid taste, gives a nice blending of flavors but may darken white or lightcolored fruits and vegetables. White distilled vinegar has a sharp, pungent, acetic acid taste and is desirable when light color is important. Either white granulated or brown sugar may be used. White sugar gives a product with a lighter color. Use fresh spices for best flavor. Use canning or pickling salt. Table salt can be used but the materials added to prevent caking may made the brine cloudy. Iodized salt will cause the pickles to be dark in color. Since flake salt varies in density, it is not recommended for pickling. Heat processing is recommended for all pickle products to destroy organisms that cause spoilage and to inactivate enzymes that may affect flavor, color and texture. One of the items that people called and requested most often in the summer of ‘94 was making salsa, so here is the recipe for salsa from the Ball Blue Book plus a few other popular pickle products. If you need up-to-date pickling instructions, call or come by the Extension Office at 675-3619 and request the publication Preserving Foods.

Many Types of Maples Thrive in Virginia Soils By DR. DIANE RELF Many types of maple trees — some natives, others imports — grow well in the soils and climate of Virginia. Some species make excellent shade trees for the home landscape. Others are important woodlot species for lumber and firewood. The following are some maples that are easily recognized and easy to grow. Red maple (Acer rubrum), a native species, gets its common name from the color of its flowers and fruit in the spring and the leaf color in the fall. Red maples are very showy in bloom and fruit in the spring since the trees are literally covered with small flowers and winged seeds known as samaras. The bloom and fruit color can range from orange to deep red. Although red maples don’t have an extremely long life span, they do provide relatively quick shade and brilliant fall color ranging from yellow to maroon. Sugar Maple Is Excellent Shade Tree Another common species in the state is sugar maple (Acer saccharum). This is the tree of maple syrup fame. It makes an excellent shade tree with rich-yellow, bright-orange and blush-red fall color. Selections with outstanding fall color are available at many nurseries. One of the most common maples, often not recognized as a maple, is boxelder (Acer negundo). This is the only frequently encountered maple with compound leaves. It is found in both cultivated and wild situations throughout Virginia. Boxelder is a very rapid grower, but it is plagued with weak wood and a short life span. It has little in the way of ornamental value; therefore, it is rarely recommended for landscape ornamental planting. Silver Maple Has Many Drawbacks Another maple commonly found in yards, but generally not recognized as a landscape species, is silver maple (Acer sacharinum). It is widely available, but is poor choice for adding to the landscape. It doesn’t provide much fall color, is relatively weakwooded, tends to scorch in the summer heat, and has shallow roots that compete with groundcovers and invade septic systems. Low cost and fast growth make it a choice when ultimate quality is not considered. As you look around your landscape, picture a beautiful tree providing fall color and soothing shade and sound — both the sounds and rustling leaves and the sounds of birds in the branches.
