They also reluctantly went along with changes in the ordinance to bring county law into compliance with state law regarding mobile homes. The 1995 session of the General Assembly passed a law that says r counties cannot ban such housing in agricultural zones. Chairman Mike Massie said the county had no choice but to approve language taking the restriction on mobile homes out of the ordinance. “If we had 100 people in here saying ‘don’t do this,’ we would still have to do it,” he said. Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser noted that Del. Clinton Miller, whose Shenandoah Valley district includes a mobile home manufacturer, had tried for years to get this bill through the General Assembly. Del. Miller is not seeking reelection, and Dr. Krebser said the assembly “gave it to him as a going away 1 gift.” He said he hopes the General Assembly will repeal it later and added, “It was disappointing that our delegate felt he should vote for this.” Robert Dennis noted that the mobile home industry had pushed for this legislation for years, claiming it was a way to provide law and modest-income housing, but the assembly had refused to consider requiring counties to allow mobile homes in residential zones. “This is something the General Assembly decided to stick on rural areas,” he said. Phil Irwin said the planners should urge See Planners, Page A-3 Education, Taxation Concern Candidates WoodwardSettle Offer Views By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Fifteen candidates running in this fall’s elections, including five running unopposed, showed up to speak to a large crowd at the Amissville Fire Hall the night of August 15. Jack Atkins, president of Amissville Fire and Rescue, was the emcee for the evening. He informed the candidates, “If anyone goes over three minutes we will hose them down to cool them off.” Jay Katzen, incumbent representative for our 31st District, was the first speaker. He said that the election coming up this fall is Virginia’s most important election in modern historv. He said he supports the direct and full return of lottery funds to our localities, and that parents should play a key role in their children’s education. “We don't need the folks who have blocked the pledge of allegiance in our public schools and the same people who trivialize the importance of home schooling,” he said. He added that he voted for an additional 13.8 percent for Rappahannock County public schools for the fiscal years 1993-1996. “We need a return to discipline and basics...we need new prisons. We cannot have our youth and you threatened by the criminals out on the street,” said Mr. Katzen. He said that he trusts in the second amendment and the entire Bill of Rights. He supports agriculture with full funding, he said, for the extension service and 4H, and the land use program. “We want to move that positive existing Allen agenda forward,-’ he said. Sue Scheer, running against Katzen, said that she does not believe that her opponent fairly represents this district. She feels that Mr. Katzen votes for special interests, not for the majority of the people in his district. Mrs. Scheer said that education is the “burning issue” in this campaign. She said the campaign is about "our children and grandchildren and about what kind of start they get; a choice between dismantling the government or making it more effective and focussed; about giving more power to big developers or giving more encouragement to long range planning, and between building prisons or building schools. No issue defines us more than the issue of the future of public education.” She said that Mr. Katzen >vas one of only two who voted against a bill that dedicated all lottery funds to education, and he did not support Goals 2000 which was introduced by former president George Bush.

Government At A Glance • Board of Supervisors, 2 and 7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 6, Courthouse, (change from regular meeting day) New Teachers Preparing To Meet Students By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer There was a lot of enthusiasm among the new teachers at both schools last week as they made plans for the coming year. At the high school three new male teachers were settling in. Reed Gillespie will be teaching Academic Geography, Civics, World Geography and the Psychology/Economics elective. This will be his second year teaching. Last year he taught emotionally disturbed students at a private residen tial school. He taught some of every thing: math, literature, social studies and science. The graduate of Wittenberg University in Ohio majored in social studies and education. Mr. Gillespie said he is happy to be teaching in a small school. “I love the mountains,” he said. “I’m looking forward to it; I’m exciting to be teaching here.” He is not married and lives in Warrenton. David Edge will teach Math 8, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Calculus. He taught in Culpeper County Middle School and Orange County Middle School. This is his sixth year of teaching, he thinks. He said he is happy to be in a high school and excited about teaching calculus. The" other courses he taught in middle schools, but this will be his first year with advanced math students. He has a bachelor's degree from George Mason University with a major in music. His math classes were taken at the University of Central Florida, and he had a master’s of education degree from the University of Virginia. See Teachers, Page A-5 Monarchs Take Apple Valley Championship By BOB HOWARD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer If you spent $45 on the TysonMcNeeley farce and were feeling a bit ripped-off on Sunday morning, an afternoon excursion to Rappahannock County High School was well worth your time. There you were treated to the final game of the Apple Valley Baseball League Playoffs; a drag out twelve-rounder between two very evenly matched heavyweights. You saw Edinburg and the Rappahannock News Graphic by Sharon Kilpatnck Monarchs and their supporters celebrate in the dugout following Sunday’s victory over Edinburg in the Apple Valley League. Rappahannock Monarchs, tied at two wins each in the finals, go at each other with the gusto of McNeeley, the power of Tyson, and the hunger of Don King sitting down to a meal of money. You were treated to a game in which there were only two errors, but both were extremely costly run-producing errors. You saw some outstanding defensive plays. The best of which was when Monarchs’ shortstop, Brian Hackley, went deep in the hole to rob Edinburg’s Barry' Omdorff of a single. Later in the game, Monarchs’ centerfielder, Bill Atkins, robbed Orndorff of another single with a diving catch of a sinking line drive. Additionally you saw the two best pitchers in the league. The mythical Mike Siers (9-0 in the regular season) made his first playoff appearance for Edinburg. Siers squared off against Monarch’s ace Luther Alexander (6-0 regular season) for the first time this year. Finally, you saw a dramatic come from behind rally by the Monarchs, who trailed 4-2 entering the bottom of the ninth, but scored three runs to win 5-4. Siers was rusty, but effective, lie was in jams in the first, second, third, sixth and eighth, but always seemed to get the tough out when he needed it, as the Monarchs left twelve men on base. For the day, Siers pitched eighth and two-thirds innings, allows 12 hits, five runs, struck out six, and walked six. Alexander pitched a better game than Siers, but Edinburg was more able to capitalize on their limited opportunities. Alexander went seven and two-thirds innings, gave up six hits, three runs, struck out three and did not w'alk a batter. The Monarchs jumped on the board in the second. Bob Howard doubled, moved to third on a single by Atkins, and score on a ground out by Festus Clanagan. Edinburg tied the score with a run in the fourth. In the top of the seventh, Edinburg got backto-back doubles, a ground out and a sacrifice fly to take a 3-1 led. In the bottom of the seventh, Monarchs’ MVP Vincent Aylor tripled to the fence in left and scored on a passed ball to cut the Edinburg lead to one run. Alexander tired in the top of the eighth. Two hard hit balls were caught for outs, but then Alexander surrendered a triple, so See Monarchs, Page A-S

Farm Bureau Offers Help With Fencing The June flooding in 17 Virginia counties including Rappahannock caused major fencing damage to many farmers. Because of the excessive damage, the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation is offering fencing supplies at or below cost to producer members in these counties. A mile of 15 1/2-gauge barbed wire fencing is estimated to cost $1,400. High-tensile smooth wire will also be available. The Farm Bureau is asking for monetary contributions to offset the fencing costs for members even further. Individuals or county Farm Bureaus wishing to contribute to a special fencing fund should make checks payable to Virginia Farm Bureau Disaster Fund. Mail your donation to 12580 West Creek Parkway, Richmond, Va. 23238 and mark the envelope “Disaster Fund.” The fencing project will run from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30. Orders wifi be accepted until Sept. 30. “The proceeds collected through the fund will be distributed among those members who order fencing, further reducing their out-of-pocket expenses,” noted Charles Clement, executive vice president of the VFB Mutual Insurance Company. “Because'of the miles and miles of fencing lost in the floods, we cannot economically donate all of the fencing needed,” Mr. Clement said. “We felt this reimbursement fund was the best alternative.” County Farm Bureaus in the affected areas will assist in taking the fencing orders from members. As orders are placed, VFB will coordinate the drop sites. Only Farm Bureau members are eligible for the low-cost fencing. Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR BEWARE OF VERBAL PROMISES In the old days, a man was as good as his handshake. Even today, many business agreements have been sealed with a handshake and enforced in the courts. However, when it comes to the world of real estate, you cannot-and should not-rely on oral promises. In fact, legislation in each of the fifty states specifically requires that all agreements and conditions relative to the sale of real estate specifically be in writing. In real estate, oral promises or conditions have little standing. If they are not contained in writing within the agreement of sale, or on other papers relating to the transaction, they are not binding. In fact, the typical agreement of sale usually provides a clause to the effect that all oral statements relative to the transaction made prior to signing the written agreement are invalid. The only way to put teeth into oral promises is to insist that everything which you think is significant be put in writing.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan/ Renee'Goodwin, Paul Fincham and Rachel Sharp make French toast while Kim Goodwin supervises. ► Planners From Page A-l the Board of Supervisors to push hard to have the law changed in the assembly. There was no debate on banning post offices from agricultural zones, as all planners agreed they should go in villages. The changes for auction houses and museums also won unanimous support. Banning antique shops was more controversial, however. The vote to recommend that change in the zoning ordinance passed 4 to 3 with Dr. Krebser, Susan Babcock, Mr. Massie and Louis G. “Butch” Zindel voting for the change and David Fannon, Sharon Pierce and Tom Junk voting against it. Mr. Fannon and his wife have a special use permit for an antique shop in an agricultural zone. He said the requirements are quite strict, and he did not believe many people would apply. Dr. Krebser and Mr. Zindel said they were especially concerned that it set a precedent for antique or gift shops to be lined up along the highway. They said such businesses should be located in the villages. Ms. Pierce said, “I’ve got mixed emotions. We’re making it tougher and tougher for people to make a living.” As the amendments were proposed conference centers would not be allowed to have overnight accommodations. They would have to be at least 10 acres to have up to 100 in attendance and at least 20 acres for between 101 and 250. Tennis and swimming facilities, whether public or private, would have to be at least 25 acres, and the sports facilities would have to be set back at least 100 feet. Mr. Zindel said he did not agree that conference centers could have no overnight accommodations. Mr. Massie said a lodge or resort could have overnight accommodations and J also have a conference center, but not all conference centers would be lodges. The planners agreed to table consideration of those amendments and look further into what requirements they want to adopt. The planners had before them a recommendation from Mr. Dennis that the county adopt a policy of doing studies of the county’s water supply as money becomes available and in the meantime adopt amendments to the Zoning ordinance that would require developers whose plans call for large amounts of water to prove that their developments would not affect water available for people already here. They took no action on that recommendation, but Dr. Krebser suggested they try to find out if Chester Gap had sufficientWater. He suggested homeowners be asked how' deep their wells are and if they have had problems with the wells going dry or water pressure dropping. Mr. Junk said such a study should be done in Sperryville also. He said recently wells being dug in Sperryville were going as deep as 1,000 feet and finding as little ds half a pint of water a minute. “You can’t put 50 houses up with no water,” he said, referring to the proposed development on the Miller property. Dr. Krebser said, “1 suggest they build a lake on the Miller property. It would be a beautiful spot for a lake.” The planners decided to delay starting the public forums on issues to be discussed with the public for the Comprehensive Plan. The first one, scheduled for October, is to be on agriculture, tourism and business. Others in future months will cover the village concept and by-passes, educational and recreational needs, and protecting natural resources. Kathleen Maier asked the planners to support an effort to develop a native plant demonstration project in the median strip of U.S. 522-21 1 around Washington. She said if mowing is reduced many native plant species will reseed themselves. She said volunteer help is available to monitor and maintain such a plot.

In June, Mr. Baumgardner pled guilty to petit larceny, a charge amended down from grand larceny, for stealing property belonging to Phillip Terrell of Castleton: He entered an “Alford plea” in which he denied guilt for the crime but agreed to plead guilty to an amended charge. Judge W. Shore Robertson suspended Mr. Baumgardner’s sentence but he will be on probation for two years and must pay restitution to Mr. Terrell in the amount of $1,375 and court costs. He told Mr. Baumgardner, “1 am taking a chance with you regarding your prior record.” Mr. Baumgardner did admit that he stole a television from Mr. Terrell and pawned it for gas money. He felt he could get back the TV and return it before Mr. Terrell returned from a trip. Mr. Baumgardner said that he had had a drinking problem but that he has not had anything to drink for over three years. His employer and father both testified that this was true. Before sentencing, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke pointed "out that Mr. Baumgardner had 17 prior charges on his record, and that suspending sentences in the past had not worked. He said, “The Commonwealth believes that a sentence of incarceration is warranted in this case.” Public defender Roy Bradley argued that his client, Mr. Baumgardner, was willing to make restitution payments, and that his family and employers spoke highly of him. “It is abundantly clear that what we can expect out of this man is that he work and continue his sobriety. 1 urge the court that a further term of incarceration serves no useful purpose,” he said. Also, an order was entered declaring Roger Baumgardner an habitual offender and he will lose his driver’s license for 10 years. Beatrice Dawn Gordon, 35, of Sperrvville, who had been declared an habitual offender in 1989, had her driver’s license reinstated. She told Judge Robertson that she had not had a drink in over two years and had received counselling. Internet Access Offered By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer If all goes according to plans it will he possible for library patrons to “browse the Internet” at the library. The county library has subscribed to the Internet through SMA, an internet provider that makes the service available through a toll-free call to a Culpeper number. SMA is making this service available to the library on a trial basis for free. Library patrons who wish to take advantage of the service to do research can sign up for one hour. They must sign up one week in advance. At the beginning of this week librarian Patty Holmes said the system is hooked up and running, but the library was waiting for a separate telephone line to be installed so using the Internet does not tie up the fax line. Mike Platko from SMA was at the library on the morning of Saturday, August 12, to demonstrate what is possible. After a talk on using the Internet and a series of questions and answers, he tried to do a demonstration. It didn’t work, but most of the 25 or so people present for the talk were sympathetic. Mr. Platko said the company has about 12 Rappahannock customers currently. SMA has three lines available for their Rappahannock customers, he said. The basic charge is $39 per month, which can be reduced to $33 per month by purchasing an annual subscription. This allows up to jk_ = ■ -—■■■-= ... . two hours a day, with additional time billed at the rate of $1.35 per hour. Some of the people at the library for; Saturday ’s program subscribe to such on-line services as America Online, CompuServe or Prodigy. They wanted to know if they could use these services toll free through SMA. Mr. Platko said they could access America Online but not CompuServe or Prodigy. Although other companies are providing Internet access for people with Culpeper telephone exchanges, SMA is the only one making it available to Rappahannock customers with 987 or 675 phone numbers. The library suggests that firsttime users bring someone experienced with them, since library staff are still learning themselves and will not have time to help each user. Once Internet access is available to patrons at the library, the library will make a computer available to Internet users from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, and from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The library’s computer will not be available for e-mail or newsgroups. A second session with Mr. Platko is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 7, at the library. Call the library at 675-3780 to find out if Internet access is available or for further information. For more information about SMA’s services call (540) 347-6514.

It has been an interesting adventure. Cindy Mahan has criss-crossed the county interviewing owners and clerks and photographing the varied establishments that play such a vital part in the county’s community life. Store owners have been generous hosts and have also been generous in letting the News borrow old photographs of the stores to help illustrate their history. It is quite true that most items cost less at the supermarkets in the larger towns in the counties on Rappahannock’s borders. That is because those stores get more of a price break from middlemen. But saving a 50-mile round trip in an automobile makes up for a lot in cost. '* It is also quite true that the supermarkets offer a greater variety of Merchandise, but why anyone would want to choose from 27 different varieties of landry detergent, powdered and liquid, in at least three sizes each, when the goal is simply to wash the clothes is a mystery. Each of Rappahannock’s country stores has a unique personality. Loyal customers have been known to drive past two or more other country stores to get to the one that is “home” to them. Some people prefer the impersonal approach. They like to get their cash from a machine instead of a bank teller. They buy the Rappahannock News from the paper box outside even when the office is open. Perhaps they look forward to the day when they can automatically purchase their groceries and have the cost deducted from their bank account without ever encountering a sales clerk. * Fortunately in Rappahannock County many people prefer to buy $ieir groceries from someone they know. They linger to discuss the Weather, national news and local gossip. “ Many of these stores are surviving by becoming carry-out restaurants. They “go with the flow” adjusting their inventory to meet customer demand. Some also sell gasoline; some do not. Some have fresh meat; some do not. * All are important to the customers they serve, and their collective survival is vital to the future health of the county. * Rappahannock is blessed to have these varied country stores. Residents need to see that they continue to prosper by patronizing diem.

To the Editor: On the front page of the July 26th issue of the Rappahannock News, your headline over story read, ‘Katzen Faces Election Probe.” However, the story conveyed the exact opposite. Someone suggested to me that “Man Bites Dog” would have conveyed a similar ending. There was not dog and not probe. It was been weeks with no revelations of financial misconduct or illegal spending by Del. Katzen reported in this paper or any other. Was there ever a probe? After I read the article and the companion letter on the editorial page by the Rappahannock Democratic Committee chairman, I felt that the Scheer campaign was struggling for they have no issues on which to stand. This was magnified at the candidate forum at the Amissville Firehall on Aug. 15. Ms. Scheer came to the firehall with several supporters from Fauquier County who coached her thru her answers by whispering the info she needed or by trying to get her to lip read. This was done behind the back of the reporter from the Rappahannock News. Del. Katzen’s campaign submitted information on his financial disclosure form based on an interpretation of the law they received from the State Board of Elections. Then on July 26th the Democrats with the Rappahannock News make as much commotion over it as possible giving the Democrats material for end of campaign bulk mailings reading, “Katzen Faces Election Probe.” In the past both Democrats and Republicans have done things with their campaign accounts that bear scrutiny; but Del. Katzen is hardly one of improprieties. While his campaign was preparing the forms in question, he was working hard to achieve flood assistance for the resi-' dents of this county whose lives were shattered. As the Rappahannock Mews accurately reported, the very first recipient of “Hands Across Virginia” assistance was right here in our county. You can disagree with him on some of the issues; but it’s plain to see this man works hard for us. It is equally easy to see that Ms. Scheer does not represent the people of this county as many of her answers on Aug. 15th bear out. This is not sufficient space in this section of the paper to go over each answer, but she gave example after example of why she was not reappointed to the Planning Commission in Fauquier County. If she cannot represent one magisterial district, how can she represent the diverse needs of Rappahannock and Fauquier County residents? RONALD L. FRAZIER Amissville Farmland Preservation Efforts Need Cash: By RALPH GROSSI Long-time residents of Lancaster County, Pa., take pride in their soil. Storied home of Amish farmers, Lancaster County yields more food than any other non-irrigated county in the country . Lancaster’s agricultural diversity adds to the legend; farmers produce everything from dairy products to a wide assortment of vegetables. But Lancaster farmers are not immune to the development boom sweeping eastern Pennsylvania and, for that matter, most of the suburban United States. Its farmland is in danger of being paved over as nearby cities and suburbs continue their relentless expansion. Nationally, 1 million acres of farmland disappear each year, some two acres every minute. The problem is as far-flung as the nation’s agricultural resources themselves. In California, for example, Tom Ielmorini wants to save his family’s 650-acre cattle ranch and carry on the ranching tradition of his father and grandfather. But his sisters, who have long since left country for town, want to sell their share of the ranch and capitalize on its lush rural setting just north of San Francisco. Walter Johnson’s family farms 460 acres in Peninsula Township, Mich. The township, a spectacular set of hills and valleys that juts into Lake Michigan, was discovered by wealthy Chicagoans wanting vacation homes decades ago. Ever since, housing developers have coveted the marrow peninsula’s farmland and scenic views for high-priced subdivisions. Walter Augsbufger, a Lancaster County hog farmer who also raises chickens, com and wheat, expects a developer to knock on his door the day a sewer line is run through his township, located about halfway between Reading and Lancaster just beyond the expanding Philadelphia suburbs. Augsburger is one of more than 100 landowners who have submitted applications to sell agricultural conservation easements — which permanently protect farmland from development — to the Lancaster County Agricultural Land Preservation Board. By covering his 350-acres farm with an easement, he hopes to create a block of protected farmland that can withstand the lure of development dollars and prevent the string of nuisance complaints that follow when new rural residents confront the noises, odors and 16-hour days of farming. Augsburger can expect a long wait. The county board only has funds to purchase 15 easements a year. Farmers applying today may have to wait seven years before negotiations can every begin. Other localities — in California, Washington, Michigan, Kentucky and throughout the Northeast — find themselves similarly hard pressed. As an American Farmland Trust report pointed out last week, 14 states have spent $665 million to purchase agricultural conservation easements*to protect 396,000 acres of farmland since 1977. But the demand far exceeds available funds. Six farmers are turned away for every one who enrolls; three acres of farmland are lost for every one saved. State and local farmland protection programs need help. In addition to producing food and fiber, agricultural land offers habitat for wildlife, sanctuary for wetlands, a filter for stormwater runoff and the backdrop for tourism and scenic open space. Farmland serves as the fabric-holding together countless rural communities. And finally, farmland — retained in a significant block — provides a natural buffer between conflicting land uses. This year, as the 1995 Farm Bill wends its way through Congress, we have an unparalleled opportunity to fund and fully implement Farms for the Future. Approved as part of the 1990 Farm Bill, FFA authorizes federal support for state and local farmland protection programs. Unfortunately, FFA has been inadequately funded and administratively handicapped. Since 1990, Congress has invested only $10 million on state and local farmland protection assistance — 200 times less than it spends each year on soil conservation programs and only a fraction of the $12 billion spent annually on farm support programs. Yet, each year in the United States as much topsoil is covered with pavement as is lost to erosion. * If Congress diverted just three days worth of federal farm subsidies to farmland protection, it could shore up Farms for the Future with $60 million in matching grants, enough to match current state funds and halve the time farmers must wait to enroll land in protection programs. Another possible funding source is the Conservation Reserve Program. Streamlining the 10-year-old program* that compensates farmers for idling^ and controlling erosion on our mos£ erodible cropland, could free up sore-I ly needed funds. " « But many policy-makers seent unwilling to bankroll protection mea-£ sures. Most U.S. representatives an<£ virtually all senators have not signeda letter supporting FFA. Funding hasdried up in states such as Rhod^Island and New Hampshire, whichonce had aggressive programs to buy easements. ~ Legislatures in Michigan and Kentucky, after receiving recommend dations from their respective governors to fund farmland protection, are struggling with funding. Even inPennsylvania, which has one of the country’s most ambitious farmland protection programs, 127 application^ to sell easements are pending in onC Philadelphia-area county alone. “ The public will support farmland protection. Last summer, PeninsulaTownship, Mich., residents voted to" fund a new purchase of agriculture conservation easement program, ot PACE, and protect the agricultural land of farmers like Walter Johnson. " Many Lancaster County residents also value their agricultural resources' which supports their thriving tourist industry. I “If we had diamonds in this area/we would be mining diamonds,” say£ Augsburger, the Lancaster farmer. “1C we had oil, we would be drilling. W£ have the best soil here, and peopliwant to build houses on it.” » (Editor s Note: Ralph Grossi president of American Farmland Trust.) . ;

WCDS Students Bring Home Classical Honors By NICK KONICK Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Three of the six students who represented Wakefield Country Day School at the National Junior Classical League Convention at the University of Kansas in Lqwrence, Kansas, were from Rappahannock: Welby Lynn of Washington, who graduated as the class Valedictorian last June, Andrew Inglis of Washington, who will be a sophomore, and Nick Konick of Rock Mills, who will be a junior. They were joined by three students from Fauquier County, Lain Hart, Lauren Fascett and Erin Nilan. The students were accompanied by two WCDS teachers, Sarah Schantz of Flint Hill and Steve Dowell of Washington. Every year, members of the Junior Classical League go to the national convention to compete in academic tests. Students also attend'Seminars, indulge in fellowship with other classics students, and elect new national officers for the coming academic year. Welby Lynn was chosen to receive two JCL scholarships worth $1,500 and won many other distinctions. Nick Konick received a 1st place for an oil painting. All in all the WCDS contingent brought home 30 awards. Alex Kelh of Castleton and Scott Updike of Washington from Wakefield School in Marshall were also at the convention. Sports Teams Begin Practice By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock News Intern Last Monday was the beginning of practice and try-outs for this year's fall sports season at Rappahannock County High School. From eight to ten that morning eighth, ninth, and tenth grade girls hoping to be on this year’s junior varsity girls’ basketball team attended try-outs. The 15 girls will be coached by Emily Wingate. After that, the varsity team, coached by Laura Conklin, practiced for two hours. Ten girls from the junior and senior classes participated. Several camps were held this summer in preparation for the girls basketball season. One, which was open to all high school girls in the county, was held in the RCHS gym. Another was held at James Madison University. This was open only to those intending to be on the team this year. Later Monday evening eight girls and nine boys attended cross country practice. The team is coached by David Van de Graaff and Laura Snyder. ► Monarchs From Page A-l Monarchs’ coach David Clanagan went with Stoney Frye who induced a ground out to end the inning. The score was still 3-2 going into the top of the ninth. Frye gave up two singles and found hijhself with runners on first and second and one out. Frye induced a perfect double play ball. Hackley flipped to Alexander for one, but Alexander’s throw sailed over Vincent Aylor’s head at first and Edinburg led 4-2. Frye got the next batter to pop to center, but Edinburg had built an apparently insurmountable two run lead. With one out in the bottom of the ninth, William Parker singled, Frye walked and Howard singled, scoring Parker and putting the tying run on second and the winning run on first. By this point, Siers was tiring, and it showed as he walked Reggie Williams and Nils Aylor to force the tying run across the plate. With the bases loaded and one out, Alexander stepped into the box. He banged a ground ball to Edinburg firstbaseman, Curt Peake, who threw home to force Howard for the second out of the inning. Edinburg catcher, Jamie Walters, looked to complete the double play, but his return throw to Peake was high, and sailed over Peake's head. However, Edinburg’s second baseman, John Gleaton, backing up the play, caught the high throw and threw back to Walters at the plate to try to nail Williams who had motored around from second. Gleaton’s throw was a split second late and up the line, and Williams’ slide took Walters out just as the ball bounced harmlessly off the top of Walter’s catcher’s mitt. The victory gave the Monarchs their first Apple Valley Baseball League Championship since 1990, and marked the first time ever that the Monarchs have won both the regular season title and playoffs. Following the game, the Monarchs received trophies for winning both the regular season and playoff crowns. Vincent Aylor receive a plaque for Monarchs’ MVP and Timmy Clanagan receive a plaque for winning the Monarchs’ sportsmanship award. On Saturday, Edinburg beat the Monarch 11-7 behind another fine pitching performance by Edinburg’s MVP Toby Keller. Keller pitched all nine innings, scattered twelve hits, allowed seven runs, stuck out six and walked two. Offensively, the Monarchs were led by Vincent Aylor (home run, double, two runs, two RBI’s). Furr (two hits, two runs) and Alexander (three hits, one run).

Sale ends August 31, 1996 ► Forum From Page A-l Gary Settle, who is running for sheriff against incumbenf John Henry Woodward, said he had always wanted to be a police officer. He was hired by the Virginia State Police in 1986 and was in a supervisory position for the past two years. He said, “We need a full service police department....You, the citizens can work hand in hand with the Sheriff s Office to send a message,” he said. More staff training is a goal. He said that he instructs in a lot of general subject areas and that he can bring the staff’s level of skill up. He also envisions the Sheriff’s Office as accountable for funds spent. “We need to be fiscally responsible as far as money is concerned,” he said. Sheriff John Henry Woodward said that he has been with the Sheriffs Office for 15 years, 12 of those as sheriff. Averaged over the last four years, his office has a clearance rate of 45 percent, compared to the average state rate of 26.4 percent. The clearance rate is the percentage of crimes solved. ne saia mat ne nas never been sued by an inmate or an employee, and that his employees are well trained and know what they are doing. Sheriff Woodward admitted that there have been some problems in Sperryville recently, but explained that only one officer is on the road at a time. He tries to divide his time between being on the road and with the public. Ellis Bingham is being challenged for his seat on the Board of Supervisors by Ron Frazier in the Jackson District. Mr. Bingham said he knew that some people were disappointed about the tax decision the Board of Supervisors made regarding the tax for the fire departments. He explained that they passed the tax because 58 percent of the people in land use in this county are out of county investors. “We felt it was fair to have those people help pay for our fire and rescue services,” he said. “We felt it was truly the best for all concerned:” He said that Rappahannock is basically an agricultural community and that if he doesn’t do anything else for this county he would like to plant a seed. He feels there will not be any relief from taxes until the country gets back to its original constitution, with the federal government not given the right to tax the people directly. He feels that the federal government should ask the states for money when needed. “We need to repeal the 16th amendment in the constitution (which permits income taxes),” he said. Ron Frazier said that the issues in the county are taxes, the landfill, the schools, and taxes. He feels that the Board of Supervisors has delegated more and more of the responsibilities in the last eight years to the County Administrator. “The board needs to do the work they were elected to do,” he said. Mr. Frazier said he would require an evaluation of all school programs and the administrative positions with job descriptions and duties of those positions because he believes “we are getting much too top heavy there in the administration department.” He said “Our focus is bad in this county. We want to protect our blue hills and green meadows and our children are getting an inadequate education.” Mr. Frazier says he wants to protect the children, that they are the most precious commodity and are the only asset worth Fighting for. Ron Makela is running for the school board against Rick Wood in Jackson District. He unfurled a small American flag which he held up for all to see and led the panel and audience in the Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Makela reminded everyone that this is the First time that school board candidates are being elected. He said he feels that the schools have gotten away from teaching history, civics and what our flag means. He said people should be less interested in money and more interested in helping their fellow man. Opponent Rick Wood announced that he is a bom again Christian. He said that with 50 employees, he has to look at budgets all the time, and that the school budget is definitely something he would have to look at. He explained that he pulled his children out of the public schools here because of a lack of disciplinary action taken in the schools. His oldest daughter presently attends JMU, but his son will be returning to RCHS this year. He and his wife are hoping to home school their youngest daughter. He feels that people should have a choice of education. Mr. Wood said that he thinks government is too much in the schools today. “ He said he looks to the Bible for answers. Roger Welch and Hubert Gilkey are vying for the Board of Supervisors’ seat in Wakefield District. Mr. Gilkey was absent due to illness. Mr. Welch said he believes it is time for a change and that he thinks the next 10 years will be as critical as the last 100. He said he was opposed to the fire tax, which he feels is not a fair tax. “We have a school board budget, that takes over 60 percent of taxes raised in Rappahannock. We have to monitor it,” he said. He believes that people should give something back to the county, and feels that more people should volunteer for county organizations. Several candidates who are running unopposed also attended the meeting and spoke. Bob Anderson, on the Board of Supervisors from StonewallHawthorn District, said that he and his wife both work pretty hard in the county to help with government. He said when he moved out here, he thought, “This can’t last for long,” though he admitted the county has not grown as fast as he thought it would. Mr. Anderson said that he and Colonel Bingham don’t agree on where the fire tax should come from. “1 think any time you tax agriculture you are inviting a farmer to sell part of his land to pay the taxes,” he said. Mike Massie is the Board of Supervisors member from Hampton District. He said he -asks a lot of questions at the meetings. When you try to solve a problem, he said, the answer' depends on how you look at the probC lem — Commissioner of Revenug' Beverly Atkins and Treasurer Frances* Foster spoke briefly and thanked people for their support. Peter Luke explained his jobs as Commonwealth’s Attorney and County Attorney. Unfortunately, he said, there has been an increase in the criminal docket in the courts. As county attorney, which is not an elected position, Mr. Luke serves the Board of Supervisors and the constitutional officers of the county. Diane Bruce, Clerk of the Circuit Court, will not be running until 1999, but asked for peoples’ support in that election. Following these presentations there was a short break for refreshments followed by questions directed a' particular candidates and their answers. One questioner asked the five candidates for supervisor how committed they are to keeping Rappahannock County rural and a lid on development. All said they support this goal. They expressed disagreement on how successful controls have been.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News JUJIIJU1JJ ia, J JIM • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23,1995 Laurel Mills Store Is Sunday Catherine Place By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Ntwj Staff Writer Back in 1987, Mary Frances Fannon saved the Laurel Mills Store from being turned into apartments. It took a lot of renovation work, but the store has been thriving ever since. Even an antique store has been added to the downstairs, “Down Under Laurel Mills Store.” The cornerstone for the building is dated 1877, so the store is at least one of the oldest in Rappahannock County. It was purchased from Richard Settle in 1987. Other storekeepers have been Esther Peyton, the Burke family, and Wally Utz owned it in the 1930’s. Now Mrs. Fannon runs the store with the help of one full-time employee, Pam Fincham, one part-time employee, and Lucy Compton and J.T. Taylor, who she describes as neighbors and special friends. When needed, Mrs. Fannon’s husband Bill and children Chip, Beth and Heather step in to help. The family has lived in Laurel Mills since 1967. The store, with a wide front porch with plenty of space for sitting and watching all the goings on in Laurel Mills, also proudly displays an antique gas pump out front. New pumps Were installed, though, when Mrs. Fannon took over, including diesel fuel. Inside, be sure not to miss the top shelf full of interesting antiques. Other shelves hold a wide variety of everyday staple items along with food and drink to please the gourmet. Who would expect a little country store to carry wines from Chile, Australia and a 1993 Beautour Pinot Noir from California? Or chutneys in three flavors: tomato, orange or gooseberry? There is also Heidi’s pumpkin butter (a local product), wild rice, smoked oysters, sardines, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire, capers and Old Bay seasoning. “I really care about having r Photo courtesy of Maurice Herndon Picking white zinnia blossoms from Jane Herndon’s raised flower beds on Greenock Farm are members of the Trinity Church ECW, Counter clockwise from left are Elizabeth Bennett, Grace Sims, Virginia Brearton, Christine Johnson and Jane Herndon. Flower Sale Takes Work By MAURICE HERNDON Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Flower picking has been going on all over the county for some weeks as onq element in the 10month long effort by the local Episcopal Church Women to stage the two-day Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale that has been presented for 39 years on the third weekend in October. To stage this popular event the ECW planning starts in February with committee appointments, selection of flowers to be grown and their quantity, and houses to be selected for showing. Next comes the raising of the flowers followed by their being picked and dried. Then comes the most difficult part, the creation of the 350 to 500 arrangements that cause admiring comments from the hundreds of tourists and professional interior decorators from all over who come to see the lovely homes and to purchase arrangements to decorate their own homes. The success of this fall event is attributable, so many tourists have said, to the warm and hospitable attitude of the people of Rappahannock County toward visitors, to the attractiveness of the tour homes, the beauty of the flower arrangements and the spectacular fall colors that further enhance the county’s already natural beauty. , Pholo courtesy of Mary Frances Fannon This photo shows lots of activity at the Laurel Mills Store in the 1930s. what people need,” said Mrs. Fannon. For those who want to preserve summer’s bounty, canning supplies are plentiful. The deli is very popular with something for everybody. There are the standard choices for sandwiches — egg salad, chicken salad, ham and pork barbeque, along with liverwurst, turkey pastrami, chicken fillet and turkey. Fresh salads are available too. Employee Pam Fincham says, “We do a good business with the deli, mainly during lunch. A lot of locals come around.” In the winter, they offer homemade soups and country ham biscuits. Also in the deli are fresh bacon, meats and cheeses by the pound, and fresh vegetables and fruits. Last Friday they offered potatoes, onions, squashes, banana peppers, celery, carrots, lemons and oranges. The freezers are stocked with a good supply of meats — hamburger, T-bone, rib and sirloin steaks. Mrs. Fannon says that a big group always shows up on Sunday morning around 8 a.m., come rain, snow or whatever. It is nearly all men, and they stay about two hours, discussing the news in the Washington Post. “It started when the Washington Post would not deliver beyond the store,” said Mrs. Fannon. It does get delivered now, but the group still gathers on Sundays, and many have become the best of friends, she said. Commander Pete Peterson is usually the one who brings up the topics. It has become such a part of everyone’s routine that if someone is not coming, they will call, said Mrs. Fannon. “Having the store has been an experience that I would never have had, but I would not have missed it for anything. There are so many wonderful people,” said Mrs. Fannon. “Down Under Laurel Mills Store is run by Charles and Paige Coombs, residents of Laurel Mills, and is open on weekends. It is stocked with many reasonably-priced antiques, ranging from quilts to pottery, china and furniture. Mr. Coombs’ woodworking is also on display. Laurel Mills Store is located on Route 618 near Castleton, a mile or so from Route 729. It is open from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. This concludes the Rappahannock News's series on the country stores of the county.

Though some youngsters -anticipate this rite with more enthusiasm than others, they will usually agree upon one fact. They hate homework! Why have homework anyway? Is it really necessary? Well, perhaps it is necessary, for though the classroom is the place of learning, homework is an exercise in application...the time to use that knowledge ..even when other activities are tempting; but first we must learn. Our spiritual life somewhat parallels this concept. We attend God's house and study His Word. The rest of the week is “homework", as we apply this wisdom in our daily lives, away from the sanctuary and amidst temptation. As one minister expressed this, “It is not as important what you feel when you are here as when you have left here." Attend your chosen place of worship this Sabbath; and after you have learned of God’s will...always do your homework.
