Chemicals Found In Well Aileen Testing Results Sent To State By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News StafT Writer Testing to determine the extent of ground water contamination at the Aileen property in Flint Hill has been completed. National Environmental Technologies of Charlotte, N.C., was hired as the consultant by Aileen to do the study. According to Don Litten, utility manager at Aileen, the three-inch thick report was to be sent to both the Department of Environmental Quality and the State Health Department on July 3 1. Results of the report will be published in a subsequent edition of the Rappahannock News, as information becomes available. Billy von Till, a hydrogeologist at DEQ who is the project manager for the Aileen case, said that his office has received several reports since the testing began. Last year, it was reported that trichloroethylene (TCE) was detected in the well water at the Aileen plant. Since then, said Mr. von Till, tests have shown that the ground water and both wells at the plant are also contaminated with 1,1 dichloroethane (DCA), 1,1 dichloroethene (DCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE) and 1,1,1 trichloroethane (TCA). All are toxic chemicals which have entered the wells and ground water due to leakage of solvents from the plant. The final report will reveal to what extent the ground water and wells at the Aileen plant and the well at the Flint Hill Pentecostal Church are contaminated. It may also give information about when the contamination first occurred, and what will be required to clean it up. Aileen has been providing the church with bottled water since its well was found to be contaminated, though the contamination has not been conclusively linked to the closed Aileen factory. The well at the church was found to have unsafe levels of DCA, DCE and ICE. A test showed that the level of DCA was 13 ppb (parts per billion); the maximum contamination level according to the EPA is 5 ppb. The well also tested as having 13 ppb of DCE and 110 ppb of TCE. The maximum safe level for DCE and TCE is also 5 ppb. Mr. von Till said that most of the concentrations found are not that high, but the bottled water is provided because of the risk involved. He said that testing at the plant has been especially difficult because geology there is particularly complex. “There are a lot of fractures involved," he said. Also, DEQ has been testing several private wells in the area of the Aileen plant on a regular basis, and none of them have shown contamination. Village Center Plan Unveiled Miller, Me Near Seek To Fill County Needs By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff W riter Cliff Miller, Jr.’s family have been landowners in Sperrvville since 1827, and he now has a vision for the future of Sperry ville by using some of that land. The Miller family, consisting of Cliff Jr., his parents, and his sister, Lizora Yonce, own 850 acres on both sides of U.S. 211. Mr. Miller has been working on preliminary plans, with the aid of Dick McNear, to possibly develop somewhere between 70 and 100 acres on the south side of U.S. 211, the same side of the road as the Emporium and the Miller homeplace. The plans would have to be approved by the county Board of Supervisors, though, before any thing could be implemented. "We are not developers; we are r concerned landowners. This is not a development; it is a long-range conceptual plan. We wanted to get the best help we could get and hired Dick McNear. 1 asked Dick to look at our land, look at the needs of the countv and how we could help meet those needs,” he added. Dick McNear was Fauquier Countv's director of planning and zoning for 20 years and has lived in Rappahannock full-time since 1980, and off and on since 1960. He is now retired, but teaches comprehensive planning and implementation at the University of Virginia and is on the board ot the Piedmont Environmental Council.

'Sunbow 5' Walkers Journey For Unity By ROBIN EARL TimeA-Dcmocmt M»fT Writer Commuters on Route 21 I west Friday afternoon may (or may not) have noticed a group of approximately 20 people walking along the side of the road into Rappahannock County . Enduring the oppressive heat and heavy rains that the northeast has seen in the last month, the walkers are taking part in the Sunbow 5: Walk for the Earth. The walkers, mans of whom are Native Americans, are making a trek across the United States to encourage understanding among the races and a cleansing of the Karth. The journey began June 23 in Cape Cod, Mass, and will continue until the group reaches Santa Barbara, Calif, in February of 1996. Alycia Longriver of the Micmac tribe is one of the leaders of the walk. She explained that there are two themes that drive the excursion. “This is not a political walk, not a teaching walk; this is a spiritual walk. We walk See Indians, Page A-5 Administrators Seek 'Child-Centered' School Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Rappahannock Elementary School Principal Raye Tupper, left, and Assistant Principal Richard Smith, eagerly await the new school year. By SHAROJ'f KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Elementary Principal Rave Tupper and assistant principal Richard Smith have decided to divide their responsibilities by ' serving as “co-principals” with each taking responsibility for four grade lev els. Mrs. Tupper will work primarily vyth the youngest students. Her office will be in the new addition, and she will handle students in kindergarten through third grade. Mr. Smith will have an office where the main office is now, and he will be primarily responsible for fourth through seventh-grade students. They expect to communicate constantly and make decisions jointly. Mrs. Tupper said she wants to involve the faculty in planning and to put effort into making improvements where the “effort to impact” ratio shows the smallest effort can have the most impact. She cited as an example of this the “communication standard” adopted last year. All the teachers were required to communicate with parents each week. In the beginning of the year they sent home weekly notes to parents telling what materials they were covering in class and what big projects or tests would be coming up. As the year went along several teachers switched to using voice mail for the weekly communication with parents. She said the school got a lot of positive response from parents with this program, and that as parents with children in the school, they found it very helpful. They noted that when they ask their children what they did in school that day, the children frequently respond “nothing.” With the weekly report from the teacher they were able to ask the children about particular material being covered and reinforce the learning taking place in school. Mrs. Tupper said she wants to emphasize vocabulary development, language See Schools, Page A-5

'94 Drought Aid Available County farmers may be eligible for emergency loans to help cover losses they sustained as a result of the excessive heat and lack of rain May 1 through June 20, 1994, according to Rural Economic and Community Development, known formerly as the Farmers Home Administration. Any farmer who was denied an emergency loan or discouraged from applying for a loan because he did not have crop insurance for the 1994 crop might be eligible for a loan since the crop insurance requirement for 1994 has been waived by the agency. Any farmer in that category who is interested in a loan should visit the local Rural Economic and Community Development Office as soon as possible. Rappahannock residents may reach the Culpeper office by calling 825-4200. 2 Men Face Assault Charges By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Two men were arrested this week for assault and battery, according to the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office.

Michael Landrum, left, and Shelby Rodriguez visit with House of Delegates candidate Sue Scheer, right, and CCLC Director Rose Ann Sharp during a visit to the center last week. Scneer Visits Learning Center Candidate Calls CCLC 'A Model' for Day Care Rappahannock County’s Child Care and I.earning Center “is a model for the quality day care that Virginia’s children deserve," said Sue Scheer. The Democratic candidate for the 31st District House of Delegates seat visited the non-profit center last week. “The rooms are bright, open and cheery, and the children are so happy,” said Mrs. Scheer, after her two-hour tour with CCLC director Rose Ann Sharp. “There’s so much for them to learn, and the atmosphere is so conducive to learning.” Mrs. Scheer said she was equally impressed by the public-private partnership at work at the 18-year-old center. While CCLC is primarily supported through fees paid by parents, a significant portion of its budget comes from foundation, state and private donations. The state grants fund an innovative family violence prevention program through which at-risk children receive CCLC scholarships in return for their parents’ commitment to volunteer at the center and attend parenting workshops. Federal grants fund Head Start for eligible youngsters. More than 100 children, from infants through age 13, attend the Child Care and Learning Center. Some 35 percent receive some scholarship assistance from a combination of grant and donation monies. “The grants from the Virginia Department of Social Services that made the family violence prevention program possible dried up this summer, due to the budget cuts implement by Gov. Allen and supported by my opponent,” Mrs. Scheer said. “We need to do better for the sake of the children who are the Commonwealth's greatest resource. “All Virginia families, not just the middle and upper income brackets, need access to quality day care that’s affordable,” Mrs. Scheer added. "In fact, the need is most critical for those families who have the least to spend. As legislators, we should be promot 3 ing effective — and cost-effective — solutions to issues like child care and family violence. “Ihe success of Rappahannock County’s Child Care and Learning Center demonstrates that solutions are achievable with strong parental involvement, private sector support and flexibility on the part of state agencies." Mrs. Sharp,.who has served as the Learning Center's director for seven years, said she invited Mrs. Scheer to tour the center so that she would have a better understanding of CCLC and the service it prov ides the community. “I welcomed Sue to CCLC to see how a real comprehensive early childhood program can meet the needs of those who come from a less fortunate background, as well as those who come from a more affluent means. "As a representative [in the General Assembly] I feel we need to have someone who will advocate these programs,” Mrs. Sharp said. "1 hope that Sue will be that person." 'Riverfest' Aims To Immerse Visitors un Saturday, Aug. 5, the Friends of the Shenandoah River, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the river, is sponsoring Shenandoah Riverfest ‘95. Riverfest ‘95 will be held riverside at Poe's Southfork Campground in Front Royal. As in the past, Riverfest ‘95 will focus on the Shenandoah River’s heritage and the need to protect its future. Shenandoah Riverfest ‘95 wants to put visitors at the river’s edges (and in it). By continuing its tradition of providing a variety ol water events designed to interest festival-goers of all ages, including canoe races, historic bateau rides, river tug-of-war challenges, outrageous River Rodeo events, a fishing tournament and canoe and tube rentals, everyone can join in the fun and maybe get wet, too. For those who want to be fully immersed in river fun, there are lots of opportunities. Skilled events include Blind Paddles: two blindfolded paddlers are directed through a simple maze by the verbal directions of a third person, not blindfolded. Unskilled events include River Tug-of-War; it's the standard contest except everyone is in the water. This is a great event for adults and kids alike.

These animals, known as glacier bears, live in British Columbia and were one of the types of bears that Chris Powell discussed when he visited the library' last Tuesday. Mr. Powell is a naturalist from Shenandoah National Park. The name of his program was “Bear in the Park,” and was primarily about black bears Even though local black bears are black they can also be brown and even white in some cases. The only truly distinctive characteristic of the species is its tan muzzle. The average male bear weighs 250 to 300 pounds and stands up between five feet six inches and six feet tall. This makes them about the same height as most humans. Bears are wonderful runners as well. The normal bear can run 35 miles an hour, much faster than a human. This might seem pretty scary because it would be about the same as a really slow compact car if it decided to charge. Mr. Powell informed his audience that he has never heard of any fatalities at the park though. This might be because about 85 percent of their diet is made up of things other than meat. True, they will eat practically any thing, however, they prefer food with large amounts of sugar and energy such as wheat, apples and berries. They also eat grubs and many sorts of bugs. This doesn't mean their are absolutely no injuries caused by black bears. In fact, in the north and west they are quite aggressive. Mr. Powell said, that the amount of injuries is due to the high number of the animals. Even before any one came to settle in the country there were an estimated one million black bears. There are now 300 million bears; 300-600 of these live in Shenandoah National Park, said Mr. Powell. Bears lice alone and usually only come together for mating purposes. The cub is carried for four months, all of which the mother spends sleeping. If the mother knows there is not enough food to feed the cub she will not mate. After the cub is born the animals go about their business in a normal manner. The females will travel between one and 10 miles a day. The male, who has by this point, left the family, will travel up to 100 miles a day. Bears also have great homing devices. One bear. Rambling Rose, was taken from her home and repeatedly found her way back. One sign of a bear home is their territorial marks, particularly scratches, that are left on trees. The animals are often very possessive with the territory. 9 \ THANK YOU ONE AND ALL The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad extends thanks to all of those who donated prizes to the carnival efforts, to the members and other community persons who worked so diligendy each evening and to all of you who attended and supported, we say thank you.

Rappahannock defeated New Market 17-2 to take the best of three series, two games to one. Alexander limited New Market to one run and six hits over seven innings while striking out 10 hatters and not allowing a walk. The Monarchs" offense exploded for 16 hits, eight of which went for extra bases. , The Monarchs scored the first run of the game when Bill Atkins led off the first inning with a walk, stole second and third and scored on Reggie Williams' sacrifice fly. Rappahannock got two more runs in the second when Chris Bennett singled, Bob Howard walked and Andy Furr brought them both in with a double. In the Monarch fifth inning, Atkins singled, stole second and scored on Vincent Avlor's double.

Development plans must be reconciled with the county's Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. 2) Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated because education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3) New business and clean industry should be sought to provide new employment opportunities for our residents and their children. But economic expansion should not come at the expense of our clean air and water. These are far more important than a larger tax base. Tourism and the business that supports it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. T. 4) Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent county, should be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strength and spirit of the county’s heritage. 5) Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and actively investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials. Photo Ethics In order to protect photographic integrity and assure that the photograph shall remain an article of proof positive of events, the Rappahannock News adopts the following policy guidelines for the handling of editorial digital images in this newspaper as stated by the National Press Photographers Association: “As journalists we believe the guiding principle of our profession is accuracy, therefore, we believe it is wrong to alter the content of a photograph in any way that deceives the public. - “As journalists we have the responsibility to document society and to preserv e its images as a matter of historical record. “It is clear that the emerging electronic technologies provide new challenges to the integrity of photographic images. This technology enables the manipulation of the content of an image in such a way that the change is virtually undetectable. “We believe photojoumalistic guidelines for accuracy currently in use should be the criteria forjudging what may be done electronically to a photograph. Altering the content of a photograph, in any degree, is a breach of ethical standards recognized by the NPPA.” r 1 . . .AND HALLOWED BE THY VACATION. =>'' Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Swimming lessons were among the activities at the Belle was among the campers who took advantage of the Meade Camp outside Sperryville last month.

Letters to the Editor Take Time To Show You Care To the Editor: I would like to remind people that in this hurry up world we too often forget to show appreciation for those who have raised and loved us. ~ When a loved one dies we then remember too late. "I should have spent more time with them or done more.” We need to take the time now to acknowledge their caring and to show the love we feel for them. Take the time to say “1 love you. I appreciate what you have done for me.” Nursing homes, while not what we often prefer for our loved ones, can be necessary. When someone lives in a nursing home we may neglect them and then feel the guilt of not having given the time. When the loved one dies we may question. “Did mother or father know I really loved them?" The guilt felt when we don't show our caring can make pain and loss overwhelming. While God is in full control of living and dying, should we forget to do our part? How often do we pick up the paper and read that someone died and we had neglected to show our appreciation before they died? Let’s take time to care now. My own mother’s death and funeral makes this very real to me. Kin and friends took the time to care and help me understand she is better off in God's kingdom where she is not suffering. I appreciate their caring and support. Should we not all take the time while our precious people are here to say how much we care? Death brings pain — we onl> make that pain worse by losing the peace of mind we could have had if we had shown care. JOHN MAY Washington Correction: No Gold In Us To the Editor: Thanks very kindly for your coverage of the Natural History Day Camp that was sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and the Piedmont Environmental Council, but there is one point 1 feel I must clear up. The article from July 19 said that I “explained how minerals are ... present in our own bodies, such as gold and iron.” Although it is true that the human body contains many minerals, including iron in our blood, calcium in or teeth and bones, and many trace components, gold is not one of those minerals. Gold is not dissolvable in most solutions, including the fluids of the human body, and it is insoluble within the foods we ingest as well. Therefore, the only gold detectable within the human body must have been put there by our dentist as a filling or crown! KAREN HENDERSON Washington Community Services Board Lauded for Flood Response To the Editor: The great suffering and losses occasioned by the recent flooding were almost balanced by the outpouring of community spirit and voluntary support from people near and„far from each affected area. It is such a coming together that reinforces one’s faith in human nature. The Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, which maintains continuing programs in all the affected areas, responded immediately to the Madison County Department of Social Service’s request for assistance of emergency mental health support of rescue and relief efforts on June 27. From that date forward, RRCSB provided daily emotional debriefing and support to flood survivors and rescue personnel, technical consultation and coordination with interagency emergency responders, transportation, and outreach efforts via print and radio. Now, in addition to its traditional emergency services and as a public service, Family Guidance Services of RRCSB is offering up to three free counseling sessions to people affected by the floods in Madison, Culpeper, Rappahannock and Orange. As chair of the RRCSB, I am proud to cite the participation of its staff and volunteers beyond the call of duty in this humanitarian and professional response to the needs of the several communities. Although one hesitates to call names, 1 would be remiss if I didn’t mention not only Brian Duncan, our executive director, John Waldeck, director of clinical services, Sallie Morgan, director of community support programs, but Judy Seale, Shirley Smith, James Daniel, Paul Regan, Wendy Carroll, Gary Rafala, Katherine and Bruce Gay, Charlene Moonen, Ann Tate, Lou Doggett, Kathy Zinn, Dwight and Susan Boston, Lynn Bayes-W'einer, Mike Dowen, Kay Shreiber, Jane Spivey, Phyliss Ryan, Jackie Dare, Jim Bemat, Jo Boston, Angela Karish, Nancy Ochs, Roberta Previ and Susan Anson, all of whom join the roll of those whose response was selfless and noteworthy. The Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board has for over 20 years and hopes to continue to provide an integral service to the five county area as it does now, in normal times and times of emergency. This will be and has been possible because of the goodwill, skilled leadership, and voluntary efforts of the communities it serv es. CAROLYN HOWARD FRENCH Chair, Board of Directors Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board Idioms Easier To Enjoy Than Understand By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Iniurml Press Syndicate A letter came the other day from Paul Warsett of Minneapolis. He was wondering how “awfully” came to mean “very,” as in, “That’s awfully kind of you.” All 1 could say by way of response is that the usage has been around for an awful long time. It’s an idiom, that's all, one of the thousands of fascinating expressions that lend color and texture to our speech. As a universal intensifier, “awful” dales from the late 18th century. Merriam-Webster cites a letter form poet John Keates: “It is an awful while sirice you heard from me.” “Awfully” has many cousins. Reader Warsett cites the comment of a Minnesota publisher who was asked about the launching of a new magazine. “It went frightfully well,” he said. President Clinton says the country “badly needs” welfare reform. A prosecutor describes a vicious murder as a “pretty horrid case.” How can something be both pretty and horrid? Every language has its idioms. They baffle the foreigner; they resist analysis; they defy translation. What, for example, are we to make of “lookng to,” as in, “The governor is lookng to replace the commissioner?” The usage crops up constantly. ‘Ukraine’s new parliament looks to be deeply divided between communists and nationalists.” In Augusta, Ga., a local entrepreneur is “looking to expand his business.” The phrase evokes the TV anchorman’s promise “to see you tomorrow at the same time.” How will he do that? Consider the idiomatic “yet.” A February headline in the Rocky Mountain News provided some cheerful advice: “It’s not too early yet to start pansies.” In the Palm Beach Post, columnist Frank Cerabino examined the adverb and found it a noun. A woman had been shot “and the bullet is in her yet.” Cerabino reasonably asked, “Where is a woman’s yet?” A knowledgeable reader had an answer: “A woman’s ‘yet’ is located about 6 inches below and 3 inches to the left of her ‘now,’ as in, ‘I wonder who’s kissing her now.’” Other readers suggested that her “yet” may be between her scuffle and her fracas, which is where people get shot more often than you might imagine. As the hot days of summer continue, many of us will be drinking ice tea and ice water, and eating a good deal of ice cream. Ice what? As a language maven remarked in 1881, there technicalVyvis no such thing as ice cream. “What is called ice cream is • cream iced; hence, properly, iced cream and not ice cream. The product of melted ice is ice water, whether it be cold or warm; but water made cold with ice is iced water, and not ice water.” It’s something to think about. In April, The Greenville (S.C.) News carried a story about a Japanese American scholarship program. Candidates “had to be rising seniors,” the better to distinguish them from sitting seniors. In the sense of “approaching a stated age,” the idiomatic “rising” dates from the 1770s. Back in January, The New York Times carried an article in praise of phonics. The writer bemoaned the pathetic levels of literacy in the United States. “It didn’t use to be this way,” he said. He was idiomatically putting “use" to a use that dates from the 1600s. For the record, the verb is “used,” not “use,” in the past tense, but it’s “use,” not “used,” with “did.” Thus, “we used to waltz,” but “We didn’t use to shag.” The editors of Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage don’t parse “still and all,” but they approve it as “clearly standard today.” Writers like the idiom, they add, “because it is less formal than the starchy 'nevertheless’; and less abrupt than the monosyllabic ‘still.’ It has, in other words, a casual, conversational quality which is consistent with the informal tone of much modem prose.” Critics who complain of senseless idioms are wasting their worries. One of the glories of English is that it so often flies off into bizarre constructions. How did “right” get to be a generic modifier, as in “right large,” “right small” and “right now?” Lexicographers may labor over such mysteries. Most writers will be content simply to take idioms as we find them, delighting in their spicy taste upon the tongue. Copyright 1995 Universal Press Syndicate

► Schools From Page A-l and concept development. “Language is the basis for everything we do, even in math,*’ she said. She said she plans to try to make it obvious to anyone coming in from outside that RCES is a “real childcentered school.” She said she believes the teachers are doing a good job and the children are learning but the results “are not showing up on standardized tests.” She said there are some very simple things teachers can do to help children do better on those tests. Mr. Smith said with the end of the RJR project in the school, the computers will be spread throughout the upper grades. He said one fourthgrade classroom will continue to have a full set of computers and all the fourth-grade students will be able to use them for part of the day. The other fourth-grade classes will have about 12 computers in them. Another computer lab will be established for fifth graders and used primarily for math. A third computer classroom will serve sixth and seventh grades. The computers in the current fifth and sixth-grade math lab will be replaced, since they are out of date. Sixth grade will use the new computers for math, and seventh grades may use them for science, for example, Mr. Smith said. He said there are good programs that enable students who are not comfortable doing dissections for biology to do them on a computer. He said the fourth grade classes will be taught by the same teacher all day instead of having teachers specialize in one subject area. The fifth grades will be divided with two teams of two teachers each with each team responsible for two sections of fifth grade. Only sixth and seventh grades will be departmentalized, he said. “As we get more specialized, we tend to specialize by issue,” Mrs. Tupper said. “We’re trying to specialize by child or person, not subject area or issue.” Mr. Smith said he wants to have groups of children with mixed abili ties as much as possible. Mrs. Tupper and Mr. Smith said they also want to get involved in some vocational exploratory classes for the two older grades. Mrs. Tupper said she wants to give teachers recognition and to relieve them of some tasks that “may not have much impact.” She said she hopes to provide more opportunities for students to perform. Mr. Smith said. “There are few principals who feel the way Rave does, who can be as ego free. I’m grateful to her and appreciate the opportunity to have that type of freedom.” On discipline, Mr. Smith said, “It is important to be pro-active rather than reactive, to reward appropriate behavior and prevent inappropriate behavior, rather than reacting to inappropriate behavior.” He said, “This situation almost guarantees success. We have great kids, great parents and great teachers.” Mrs. Tupper said they are also very fortunate to have a community that supports education, from volunteers who work with students to taxpayers who are willing to pay for it. ► Miller From Page A-l wavelength,” he said. “As part of this process I have two eyes: one on his interests and one on Sperryville. I think we can add a central focus, a sense of community.” Mr. Miller said that he feels the county has had excellent leadership over the years in planning to preserve the rural character of the county. He and Mr. McNear agreed on goals and what they feel are some of the needs for the county: affordable housing, elderly housing, a sense of community, and construction of new businesses around villages (no commercial strips). “We believe the growth should come in and around the villages. If Sperryville is to grow, the most advantageous way for it to grow is on property we own,” Mr. McNear said. Mr. Miller said they want to listen to the needs of people in the community, and they hope to set up an advisory committee of people with divergent ideas, who are concerned and committed to the area. They might also approach the school of architecture at UVa. and see if they can lend some help. Mr. McNear said, “You cannot be exclusionary. In order to have fairly strict regulations in the rural areas you have to make a provision for some growth in the villages and provide some kind of housing mix.” He added that in order to provide anything a central sewer system is needed, and he feels it is appropriate to look at Sperryville to provide some housing. Mr. Miller agrees that growth should come in and around the villages. He said that there is going to be a new road of some kind around Sperryville, and that road will most likely go over his land. He and Mr. McNear have been working on a twolane road design that would enter the Miller property on the west side of U.S. 522 near the east end of the Sperryville cemetery, and eventually pass the sewage treatment plant and end out on U.S. 21 1 east of the Emporium. We are interested in having a say in when and how the road goes,” said Mr. Miller. A preliminary plan drawn up by Mr. Near shows an area for single family housing with nearby sports facilities, possibly soccer fields and baseball fields, a community center, and a 100-foot wide park. Houses would be in keeping design-wise with the present Sperryville houses, which are nearly all white and constructed of wood. “It made sense to me to plan it like the old town and continue the pattern,” said Mr. McNear. Mr. Miller keeps stressing that all of the plans are entirely subject to change. “If nobody wants houses then none of it will be houses," he said. Other acreage shows where commercial businesses might be located, and where one-story elderly housing might go. The commercial section would be located toward U S. 211. He envisions the housing as single family dwellings (not condos) for people who already live and work in Rappahannock, but have a hard time finding affordable housing here. Elderly housing would be one-story, with possibly four living quarters within one building. The Thornton River, which runs through the property , would also be an amenity which could be used by a lot of people, said Mr. Miller. “We want it so that people can go anywhere in town bv walking or bicycling,” said Mr. McNear. Mr. Miller summed up the project by saying, “It is something I think is important to do but it is not something I am burning to do. If it is not done it might force development elsewhere where it might not be good for the county.” n Dear Agricultural Producers & Horse Owners: EVENTS: Exotic Animal Exibits PLUS MORE: V3 Driving Horse Exhibition > CO-OP EXPO ’95 | Thursday, August 10,1995 ~ 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m Location: Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative Business Rt. 29-North of Culpeper, VA Beef Breeds on display - Dairy Cattle exhibit with milk and cheese provided by Maryland-Virginia Milk Coop, Mid-America Co-op and Shenandoah’s Pride.

She had been told where and how to travel and had been instructed who to contact. She left her Cape Cod home and walked 200 miles alone, sleeping wherever she could find safe shelter. After reaching Connecticut, she found that she did not have the strength to continue. She returned home exhausted and heartbroken. She said, “I prayed to the Creator, ‘Why did you give me this vision? I did what you told me, but 1 can’t finish.”' Her prayer was soon answered, she said. She found that a similar walk had been organized and was traveling right past her home. She discovered that the route of the Sunbow 5 journey was the same as the one she had begun. “The Creator is directing us,” she said. “We really don’t have any organization; we are walking on faith and have seen miracles every day.” she said. “Most people can’t just drop everything and join our walk, but some walk with us for a few days or help by offering food or shelter. It's a good sign of support. We take their walk with us." Debbie Jimenez, a Fauquier County resident, said that hosts are needed in the Roanoke area. Anyone who knows of someone who would like to provide a campsite for the travelers may call Ms. Jimenez at 3473012. Ms. Longriver said that the Sunbow 5 group will be stopping at the place where Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., and where the Oklahoma City bombing I Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Participants in the ‘Sunbow 5’ walk trek west on U.S. 211 from Warrenton to Washington on Saturday. took place. The walkers will say special prayers for healing at these places. Charlie Commanda of the Algonquin tribe in Maniwaki. Quebec joined the walk originally because a friend asked him to drive down and participate for 10 days. Commanda’s 10-year-old daughter Samantha is among a few' young people walking to Santa Barbara. “She is w alking for the children of the world." said her father. Commanda said that the walk has been "enlightening. People drive by in their air-conditioned cars and they don't see or feel the Conditions outside. When you walk 20 miles down the highway, breathing in the exhaust from all those cars, you can feel the conditions that are destroying the Harth. "We have looked over the sides of overpasses and seen the tilth floating in our rivers. We have walked more than 600 miles so far. We have not found one body of water that was safe to drink from, or swim in, or do our laundry in. We need to learn to live in harmony with Mother Earth." Commanda knelt down to touch the ground as he added. "I am a mama's boy. and this is Mama. “We need to spread the word of love across the whole world, unconditional love. It doesn't matter what did what to who. Every one can be accepted. We are not here to criticize or judge," he said. Chief William Commanda, the 83-year-old traditional leader of the Algonquin people called for the crosscountry walk in 1993. Ms. Longriver explained that it is also'possible to unite the traditions of the past with the technology of the present. People who understand the teachings of Native American tradition and have lived and worked in today’s modem technological society can act as bridges, she said.

Race, Law : And School: >* ■ :<$ Forced Justice, School Desegregation and the Law, by David J. Armor of Sperryville, was released by Oxford University Press on June 30„* Mr. Armor’s book is the culminaj tion of 25 years of research. He is a forensic sociologist and is recognized< by the federal courts as an expert on1 school desegregation. He is a senior research scholar of the Social Philosophy and Policy Center at Bowling GreCn Statd University, and a research professor at The Institute of Public Policy a£ George Mason University, where he teaches graduate courses in civil rights and public policy, and statistics. According to Shelby Steele, author of The Content of Our Character: A New Vision of Race in America, “Forced Justice is the most thorough and incisive examination of school desegregation I am aware of. Armor’s idea of equity choice is one of those perfectly reasonable solutions to a complex problem that seems embarrassingly obvious oncC you hear it. This book.will change the discussion of school desegregation in America.” Mr. Armor and his wife Marilyn live near Nethers and are proprietors' of Sharp Rock Farm bed and breakfast. /Vm'AreO' Cede Starting now, this side of Virginia has its own new area code — 540. That’s changed. But not much else has changed. No change in costs. Happily, the cost of calling will not change. Local calls will still be local calls, just like before. And your monthly cost for service wall stay the same. No change in the way you dial. If you need to dial an area code when calling family and friends, you will still need to do that. You just need to remember to use the new 540 area code for the western region of Virginia. __ Luray Caverns in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Why a new area code? When you think of all the new phone numbers we need in Virginia — for fax machines, cellular phones, pagers, computer modems, new and growing businesses — it’s easy to see how an area code can “fill up.” Bell Atlantic wants you to have the best service possible, and planning for even more growth by assigning a new area code is just one way we do that.

Schiffmans Find History In Valleys Of France Tour Highlights Culture, Cuisine By SUZANNE SCHIFFMAN Rappahannock Nni Contributing Writer After three sizzling days in Paris (and 1 mean the temperature, not the intrigue hinted at in the old love song “I Love Paris”), my husband and 1 were ready to begin our ambitious, self-planned tour of three areas in France neither of us had visited before. > This would be our first trip to Europe without our children, who were at overnight camp, and we wanted to create our dream vacation in France: romantic, buttressed by history and culture and, of course, spiced with long, delicious meals. We devised a day-by-day outline for visiting by car, first the Loire Valley and her chateaux, then the seaside port city of La Rochelle and directly offshore the beguiling island of lie de Re, and finally a turn deep into southwest France through thousands of acres of world-renowned v ineyards to the heart of French Basque country. We successfully exited Paris on the first try, negotiating with ease the freeway cluster around La Defense, and headed south toward chateaux country on A10, known as the Autoroute de l’Aquitaine, with a planned stop in Chartres, about 55 miles southwest of Paris. The drive took us though lush, mostly flat farmland, a boon for those approaching by car from this easterly direction, for the spectacular doublespired gothic cathedral rises regally from the plain before you. Built from locally quarried grayish/white stone, the cathedral burned in 1194 but was rebuilt in 30 years in all the splendor of the Gothic style. We closely inspected the intricately sculpted portals with their three-dimensional figures, and the impressive flying buttresses. The interior contains 175 stained glass windows covering 25,000 square feet depicting over 5,000 figures. The brilliant blue in many of the windows, “Chartres blue,” comes from cobalt mined in Bohemia and nowhere is its intensity and clarity lovelier than in the Blue Madonna window. There are, in fact, 175 representations of the Virgin Mary in Chartres cathedral, also known as Notre Dame; the Gothic period included a particular reverence for the Virgin known as the “cult of the Virgin." We lunched outside next door to Photo Courtesy ot Su/anne SchitTman The Chateau of Chenonceau in the Loire Valley near Amboise was among the Schiffmans’ tour stops. the cathedral at Le Cafe Serpente, where we could gaze at this quiet edifice with her mismatched double spires (the north one was rebuilt after fire damage in the 16th century) and appreciate the centuries of awe she has inspired. From Chartres we pushed on toward Tours, about 80 miles further southwest. We drove down the main business artery, the Rue Nationale, without stopping (it was a Saturday, and the sidewalks looked impassable with the numbers of people and families out shopping). The Rue Nationale took us directly across the Loire on the Pont Wilson affording us our first glimpse ever of the famous river — unremarkable as it made its languid, muddy way under the bridge. We continued on, crossing the Cher River to the small town of Montbazon and our hotel, the Chateau d’Artigny located just west of town on the Indre River. A renaissance-style chateau built in the early 20th century by the Fortunoff family, this elegant hotel offers several lovely public rooms. A must-see is the bar which displays hundreds of bottles of different kinds of liqueur, with special emphasis on armagnacs, a favorite brandy made in the region. Our very comfortable room had a view north over the country side. We hopped back across the river Indre for dinner at the delightful Domaine de la Tortiniere, a castle built in 1861 on a site occupied by castles since the early Middle Ages, and today run as a small hotel and restaurant by the daughter of the family who purchased the castle in 1954. The next day we took back country roads skirting the Cher east and teeming with bicyclists to our first chateau, Chenonceau. One misconception of mine was immediately dispelled: that all of the chateaux in the Loire valley are on the Loire. In fact, most of them are located on either the Cher or the Indre. Chenonceau stretches all the way across the Cher and is considered a Schiffmans Visit France This map shows the major cities and towns visited by the , Schiffmans ' during their trip 1 to France. jewel of the French Renaissance, completed in 152!. Henri II gave the chateau to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers, as a gift but Henri’s wife, Catherine de Medici, wrested it back from her upon his death. The twostory galler\ wing, added by Catherine, stretches across the river and, when completed, became the site of many court festivities. During World War I, the long gallery served as a hospital for wounded soldiers, and during the German occupation in WWII, one side was in a free zone, the other in occupied France. Tales abound of desperate families running frantically through the 200-foot long gallery to the woods on the other side of the chateau. With the sun filtering in the open windows and the tranquility of the drowsy Cher, it is hard to imagine the torment and pathos of both those sad periods unfolding here. From Chenonceau, it’s just a short jaunt up to Amboise which is on the Loire. Here you must follow a tour in order to gain access to the chateau. Largely built by Charles VIII (who died after knocking his head on a ....-. -—..—...J Rappahannock News Graphic/Stewart Hopewell stone doorway in the castle) and his wife, the original 15th century chateau fell into disrepair through the years and the structure was rebuilt in he latter part of the 19th century . Huguenots, after having stormed the chateau in 1560, were said to have been arrested, condemned and then hung from the iron grill outside the Court Room while Francois II, his wife Mary Stuart and perhaps even Catherine de Medici watchedas afterdinner entertainment. Leonardo da Vinci, invited by Francois 1 to help with the design of Amboise in 1517 after Charles' death, is buried in the chapel of the chateau located on he ramparts. After visiting the chateau, which is partially furnished in some 16th century pieces, we strolled up the narrow road from the center of town (noting the “cave homes" on the left which are literally homes carved right into the rocky cliffs) and visited the brick manor house called the Chateau de ClosLuce where Leonardo, da Vinci spent the last three y ears of his life. The rooms of I.eonardo’s last resting place have been restored and decorated with period pieces. We saw his bedroom where he could gaze out at the chateau and of which he made numerous sketches; it is said he had with him three of his favorite canvasses including the Mona Lisa, which he brought from Rome on the back of a mule in leather saddlebags. That night we dined in Sache, a small town half-way between our hotel and the chateau of Azay-de* Rideau, at the Auberge du XHIe siecle. This is a pretty town built on sloping hills that shares fame with both Balzac, who lived here and set some of his novels here, and the artist Alexander C'alder, one of whose works dominates the town square. On our second day in the Loire Valley, we headed west from our hotel for a larger circuit beginning with the 16th century chateau named Villandry, about 12 miles from our hotel on the Cher, and known for its beautiful formal gardens. The most charming of the many "theme" gardens here is the boxwood garden comprised of four squares, each of w hich, when viewed from the chateau, clearly depicts one of four kinds of love. All clipped in boxwood, the first square is daggers and swords and is planted with red roses in the summertime (tragic love); the second is fans for flirting and butterflies (fickle love); and the theme of tender lov e is portrayed by hearts and masks worn during balls and finally crazed love, showing broken hearts. The lavish kitchen garden is filled with designs formed by mixing different colored vegetables organically grown and sold. Other stops of interest include the rose garden and the plantings around the fountains located on the upper terraces. We continued west along the Loire stopping for lunch at a spot where we could admire the Chateau Rigny-Usse on the Indre, the chateau which inspired Charles Perrault to write the fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty.” The many turrets and the backdrop of a lush, forest certainly did evoke the story for me. This is the first of a two-part travelogue on the Schiffmans' journey through France. Part 2 will appear next week. McCutcheon, Dixie Power Trio Featured The Dixie Power Trio is fast becoming one of Bluemont’s most popular groups. On Saturday, Aug. 5, this unique up-tempo band will perform a wealth of musical styles at the 1995 Bluemont Summer Concert Series in downtown historic Warrenton. It is the eighth of 11 Saturday evening performances on the lawn of the old Warren Green sponsored by Bluemont Concert Series; with special support this evening from Drunagel, Johnson, Rutherford and Wilkins. Admission is $3 per person. All are welcome. The Dixie Power Trio is a quartet, bringing together four remarkable musicians on a variety of instruments, including trumpet, banjo, tuba and drums. The sound starts out from a solid base of oldtime New Orleans jazz and quickly breaks into an infectious blend of a big band, Zydeco, and rock and roll. If you want to find out what Louie Armstrong, Chuck Berry, Led Zeppelin and the Neville Brothers have in common, come see the Dixie Power Trio — they’re hot! •' The concert begins at 7:30 - p.m. on the lawn of the old Warren Green in downtown Warrenton. Plan to bring a lawn chair or a blanket; homemade refreshments will be available* during the evening prepared by the Warrenton/Fauquier Jaycees as their own fundraiser. In case of bad weather, the concert will be held at the Warren Junior High School auditorium. The Warren Green Concerts arc presented by Bluemont Concert Series in partnership with the Town of Warrenton, the County of Fauquier and a host of local business, friends and families in our community. The next evening John McCutcheon, one of the country ’s premier folk performers, brings his own blend of traditional tunes and storytelling to the 1996 Bluemont Summer Concert series in downtown, historic Culpeper on Sunday, Aug. 6. It is the seventh of nine Sunday evening performances on the green of the old Culpeper Courthouse sponsored by Bluemont Concert Series. Admission is S3 per person. All are welcome. John McCutcheon’s appealing blend of folk music and down home storytelling has brought him an international reputation and concert bookings as far away as Moscow. Skillfully wielding half a dozen instruments and often performing his own music, McCutcheon is particularly well known for his prowess on the hammer dulcimer, and has spent years learning and reviving the music of the masters in Appalachia. In his stories about his own family, McCutcheon dispenses folk wisdom for every family and crosses the generation gaps with humor and wit. McCutcheon has released more than a dozen albums, including a live performance recording made at Wolf Trap. He has been nominated for a Grammy and has received an award for “Instrumentalist of the Year.” Several of his recordings are aimed at a younger audience and McCutcheon has twice won “Children’s Album of the Year” awards. The concert begins at 7 p.m. on the courthouse lawn in downtown Culpeper. Plan to bring a lawn chair or a blanket; homemade refreshments will be available during the evening prepared by the Culpeper Free Clinic as its own fundraiser. In bad weather, concerts will be held at the Culpeper High School auditorium. Bluemont Summer concerts offer wonderful door prizes provided by local shopkeepers. Pearsons Become Owners Public House Won't Change John and Denise Pearson have purchased The Flint Hill Public House, and will continue to operate the restaurant and inn with an added emphasis on conference and meeting facilities. The couple have worked as chefs at The Flint Hill Public House since the fall of 1994, so when former owners Conrad and Robin Koneczny approached them about buying the business, they welcomed the opportunity. John formerly worked for Sutton Place Gourmet, and Denise recently graduated from the professional cooking and pastry programs at L’Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda. Asked if the menu and character of The Flint Hill Public House will change, Mr. Pearson said, “The menu reflects our personal style, and is always changing. Denise and I want The Flint Hill Public House to be a place where locals, families and tourists can all feel welcome.” The menu emphasizes seasonal, traditional foods with a contemporary flair, using native Virginia products whenever possible. Herbs arid vegetables grown in the gardens are used in the restaurant. This week the menu incorporates cucumbers, tomatoes, several varieties of peppers and herbs from the garden. Soon the menu will also include tomatoes and mozzarella, and bruschetta with tomatoes. The dessert menu has been featuring what is fresh now — peaches and blackberries, combined in a cobbler.

The sale, held in the Town Hall this year, raised over $2,700. The Friends of the Library organized the sale and with the help of many volunteers moved the books from the library to the Town Hall. Volunteers also worked on the Fourth as sales clerks and for two days cleaning the Town Hall. Without the volunteers the sale would not have been possible. Books for the sale were donated to the library. All donated books are considered for addition to the library collection, and if not added are plated in the book sale. The library' has been able to add dozens of books this way. Titles from best sellers like “Rainmaker” to classics such as “The Works of Euripides” have been added to the collection. All the money earned from the sale of donated books goes to buy new books for the library. The Friends have donated almost $700 in the last two months so that children would have new books to read this summer. The library hopes to add some adult audio tapes and reference materials with some of the money from the July 4th book sale. The library has adult paperbacks and hardbacks for sale at all times. Hardbacks sell for $2 and paperbacks for 25 cents. This is great if you are going on vacation and want something to read but don’t want to worry about returning them. Books for sale are in two bookcases in the lobby, and donations are always accepted. They can be brought to the library from 10 a m. to 8 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, 10 a m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Saturday. *

Yet, as life progresses, we pick up soil and smudges and smiles sometimes dull. The wrinkles in our skin may mirror a rumpled spirit and sleep does not come so easily anymore. Yes...It is time to do our laundry! Actually, our “laundry” should be done at least weekly, for once soil is "set in” it is all the more difficult to remove. Each week we have an opportunity to refresh our bodies and renew our spirit as we enter God’s sanctuary. Experience the cleansing of your soul as the sanctified Word of God washes av'ay anxiety and fear.

Making Barbecue Beef Jerky By HhLLIN VV. SMITH F.xlension Agent, Home F.conomics Jerky is raw meat or fish which is salted or marinated and dried. Almost any type ot meat (lamb, pork, poultry or game) or fish may be used, although beef jerky is the easiest to make with the most reliable results. . Choose any lean cut of beef. Flank, rounds, or sirloin tip are excellent choices. Rump, if it is lean, is also a good choice. Use only a commercial or homemade electric food dehydrator. Do not attempt to dry meat in the sun due to risk of spoilage and contamination. Freeze meat slightly to aid in slicing. Cut beef in strips, 1/2-inch thick, across the grain for a tender, slightly brittle finished product. Cut with the grain for a chewy end product. The meat must be “cured”; that is, treated in such a way to prevent spoilage. Dry cures are salt and seasonings rubbed on the meat surface. Brine cures are marinades or liquid HOME ECONOMICS seasoning mixtures in which the meat is soaked for a period of time. Dry meat in an electric dehydrator at 145 degrees F. If fat droplets appear during the dry ing process, blot meat with a paper towel. To test a slice of meat, allow to cool. It should bend but not break. Jerky which is dry enough should be stored at room temperature in air tight containers, such as home canning jars. If the finished jerky is slightly moist, place in plastic freezer containers and freeze. If the jerky contains too much moisture, it may become moldy. If there is too much fat, jerky become rancid more rapidly. One pound of beef will yield four ounces of jerky. Barbecue Beef Jerky 3 pounds lean beef(Hank, round or sirloin tip) 1 cup catsup 1/2 cup red wine v inegar 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 T Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper Dash of hot pepper sauce Cut beef into strips 1/2-inch thick. Combine all marinade ingredients in a large, glass baking dish. Add strips of beef; cover and refrigerate overnight. Drain beef slices. Dry in an electric dehydrator at 145 degrees F until pliable. Package in home canning jars, plastic food storage bags, or seal-byheat food storage bags. Yield: about 12 ounces of jerky. Soy Jerky 3 pounds lean beef (flank, round or sirloin tip) 3/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional) Cut beef into strips 1/2-inch thick. Combine marinade ingredients in a large, glass baking dish. Add strips of beef; cover and refrigerate overnight. Drain beef slices. Dry in an electric dehydrator at 145 degrees F until pliable. Package in home canning jars, plastic food storage bags, or seal-byheat food storage bags. Yield: about 12 ounces of jerky.

Heated Reunion Is Enjoyed By Everyone By WAYNE F. BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer With the humiture at near 110 degrees, the faithful, the strong, the determined, perhaps a few foolish too, gathered for the Fifth Annual Dwyer Family Reunion at the Washington Fire Hall. Seventy-five person representing four generations came together once again enjoying each others company and a vast banquet. Cousin Joe Dwyer of Middletown said grace before lunch. r Our minds were taken off of the heat for a while by the excitement of the raffle. Our cousin, Jeanie Dwyer, had made two beautiful wall hangings and were much desired. Winners were Kim Baker Keyser of the Alfred Dwyer hanging; and Edith Dwyer Bedortha got the Miles J. Dwyer hanging. The other winners of the second raffle were Kathy Pullen, Lillie Pullen and Wayne Baldwin. Our annual recognized prizes went to the following persons: Cousin coming the furthermost distance, Virginia Sours Tober from Walkersville, Maryland; Oldest family member, Nina Bailey Grimes (82 years); Youngest, Virginia F. “Beth” Drummons (13 months); Longest married couple, Clyde and Lillie Dwyer Pullen; Head of the Family with most generations present, Lorene ■Cornell Dwyer. Special recognition went to our always helpful little cousin, Jason Pullen. Mention was made of our distant cousin, James D. Gaunt III, and his wife, Bebe who have opened a new book store in Culpeper by the name of "The Book Worm." We know attendance was a little low this year for many reasons particularly the heat, however, a date has been set perpetually for our reunion unless providentially hindered. That date is the third Saturday in July. Next year (1996) that date will be July 20th. Hope to see you next year at the sixth annual reunion. Advertise your next garage sale!
