Park Plans To Restrict Old Rag Hikers By SHARON KILPATRICK Rapp.ahannock News Staff W riter The National Park Service last week proposed a plan to limit the number of hikers on Old Rag Mountain during the four weekends in October including Monday, Oct. 9, Columbus Day. Under the proposed plan hikers will be limited by issuing permits at the lower or “temporary” parking lot on Route 600 in Madison County. A ranger at the trail head will check to make certain hikers have permits, and once the parking lot is filled, no more permits will be issued until parking r spaces open up. There would be no charge for the hiking permit. The park service estimates that 200 cars can park in the lower lot, but on busy weekends there have been as many as 300 cars and 1,000 people using the trail. This action is being undertaken following public meetings on the subject in both Madison and Rappahannock counties during which residents of Route 600 in Madison County complained about visitors to Old Rag blocking traffic on Route 600, parking along the narrow road, frequently blocking their driveways, and dropping litter. In addition, owners of propert) closest to the park have had to contend with people camping on their property, playing loud music during the night, and setting campfires. The Park Service has not been able to do anything about this because it occurs on private, not park owned, land. The Madison County Board of Supervisors has requested help from VDOT in posting Route 600 “No Parking," and from the Virginia State Police and Madison County Sheriffs Office in enforcing the parking ban. At a meeting at the Rappahannock County Library earlier this month Gid Brown Hollow resident Marc Malik, who does landscape planning for the park service, showed several alternatives for a parking lot. Most would involve acquiring some of the land that adjoins the park. Some would also involve developing a campground. Assistant superintendent Vaughn Baker said the park will not invest heavily in improvements to land it does not own, so a parking lot for 100 See Park, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins Land Use The Commissioner of Revenue’s Office will accept applications for land use taxation through Nov. 1.

Town, County Meeting Yields Few Conflicts Mayor Stewart Willis, Councilman Ray Gooch and Town Planning Commission Chairman Louise van Dort from the Town of Washington met with Hampton District supervisor Mike Massie and Werner Kxebser, who represents Wakefield District on the county Planning Commission and is a property owner in Washington to discuss the town’s future and issues between the town and county last Wednesday. County Administrator John McCarthy sat in on the meeting as did town residents Diane Bruce, Mitzie Young and Charles Eldred. Issues ranged from parking to sewer, from expanding the town’s boundaries to growth of the county government, and those participating found that now, in contrast with times in the past, there are really no controversies between the town and county. This was part of an ongoing series of meetings town representatives are having with businesses and other organizations in town. Mayor Willis said the town was interested in learning what plans the county might have for additional office space in town or moving county operations outside town. Mr. McCarthy said the county has no plans for moving county offices outside town See Town, Page A-6 School Starts Smoothly L mMm Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Willie Whitner, Corey Winters and Ben Penbdleton play with tiles their first morning in Mrs. Payne's kindergarten. School got off to a smooth start Monday according to both principals and Superintendent David Gangel. There were 1,008 students in school Monday, 625 at the elementary school and 383 at the high school. By Tuesday enrollment had increased to 1,022, the highest it has been since early in the 90s. Dr. Gangel said enrollment usually increases through the first two weeks of school, and he expects that trend to continue this year. The budget was built on an expectation of 1,010 students in average daily membership through March. The county can expect to receive some additional funds from the state if ADM exceeds 1,010. The increased enrollment appears to be due to children being moved into the school system rather than any increase in the birth rate. This year’s kindergarten is the second smallest class at the elementary school, Dr. Gangel said. Elementary school Principal Raye Tupper said she usually judges the success of the first day of school according to how many kindergarteners are crying and how many calls she gets from parents at the end of the day because their children did not get arrive home on the buses as expected. This year there was only one kindergartener crying and no frantic calls from parents at the end of the day, she reported. At the high school Principal Jack Raines said the first day “went great.” A review of school rules took place during home room periods instead of school assemblies. The all-school assembly was conducted by the students. “It was a good assembly,” he said. “Everything was upbeat,” Dr. Gangel said. “This is an indication of the great year we expect to have.” — By SHARON KILPATRICK ■ • -'Vtr: ------ No E-911 Yet Meeting Set With SCC, ; Bell Atlantic, County By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Equipment for the Enhanced 911 (E-911) system is installed and is being tested at the dispatch center in the Sheriff’s Office, but the system has not been turned on yet, according to County Administrator John McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy, representatives from Sprint Centel, Bell Atlantic and the State Corporation Commission were scheduled to meet Wednesday morning to try to resolve issues with Bell Atlantic that are holding up E911 for Bell Atlantic customers who are county residents.

Me believes ,the 987 exchange will be next if problems with Bell Atlantic can be worked out. Otherwise 636 and 635 exchanges will be riext. Warren County is also about ready to implement E-911, and if it is feasible county phone customers with 635 and 636 exchanges will be hooked up to the county's E-911 system at the same time those in Warren Counts are sw itched over to their system.

Jay Katzen (R-31 st) was honored as “Outstanding Citizen of the Year" by the American Indian Alliance and the American Indian Cultural Exchange. Mrs. Thomasine Jordan, co-chairman of the event, said that.candidates for the “Outstanding Citizen” award must “show us they have given exceptional serv ices to the community at large — to those in need of their services and are always on call.” In presenting the national award to Del. Katzen, last year’s recipient, Gloria Bishop, a member of the American Indian Cultural Exchange, cited Katzen as the "most outstanding member of the Virginia General Assembly...His services to Indians has gone above and beyond the call of duty,” and for his active participation in the First Annual Governor’s Conference on Indians held in Williamsburg on March 25. “Jay Katzen’s assistance to Indians in Virginia has been invaluable,” said Ms. Bishop. In his acceptance of the award, Del. Katzen said, “The extent of my qualifications to be recognized is simply that I care about what happens to American's Indians. A tragedy is perpetuated when others are not caring.” The American Indian Alliance is a national organization which promotes political conservatism. The American Indian Cultural Exchange is a nonprofit organization which promotes cultural exchange between Native Americans and all other cultures.

New Beauty Shop Opens in Toll House By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Brenda Hensley has recently opened her own shop, Brenda’s Family Hair Care Cabin, in the old toll house on U.S. 211 just west of Washington. Before embarking on her own business, Ms. Hensley worked with Darlene Moore in the Beauty Box in Washington for six years. Prior to that she worked in Amissville for three years, and had her own shop in Warrenton. She said that she really enjoyed working with Mrs. Moore. The toll house, which dates back to around 1850, has been home to many businesses in Rappahannock. Most recently, it was a gun shop owned by Lucky and Quentin McCoy. It has also housed antiques. The shop is a very cozy space. The front room has two chairs with driers, an entertainment center complete with a television and cassette player with country music tapes, comfortable chairs for customers, and a desk for the appointment book. There are also plenty of magazines for reading. Ms. Hensley said that when the weather cools off, she plans to have a coffee machine and refreshments available for customers. Ms. Hensley offers hair care for all members of the family. She does haircuts, perms, coloring, highlight ing, and frosting. She doesn’t do braiding herself, but will have someone available to do that. “We do moms and dads and children,” she said. And that includes grooming of men’s beards and moustaches. She also does facial waxing of eyebrows and women’s moustaches, something she said that people usually have to travel a long way to have done. Children are welcome to come in while their parent is having their hair done; there is room in the waiting room for plenty of people and she plans to get crayons and coloring books for the children. She works alone, and has two shampoo bowls for customers, in a room decorated with posters of models with samples of hair styles. She said her shop is like a little meeting place. The busiest days in the shop are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The shop is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Staying open late on Thursdays was a good idea. “That has been terrific,” she said. Ms. Hensley lives on the Shade Road with her son Tommy. She also has two grown children, David Calisto and Anita Ashby. Appointments can be made by calling 987-3329. Brenda’s Family Hair Care Cabin is the, newest business in the old Toll House on U.S. 211.

County Boys Get Invite To New Wildlife Center By GREG ROBERTSON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Rappahannock friends of wild animals, Sean Robertson, age 12, and his brother, Henry Robertson, age 9, attended an open house of the new Wildlife Center of Virginia. The function was an invitationonly preview for those who had donated to the construction of the new facility in Waynesboro. The highlight of the morning was the release of a Red Tail Hawk. Last summer the boys, who live in Viewtown, sold lemonade at the Herman Makes Dean's List Jan Herman was named to the Dean’s List at Drexel University in Philadelphia for the second semester of her junior year.

At the ceremony, Ed Clark, president of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, asked Sean and Henry to stand up and praised them for their eflorts. The boys received a strong round of applause from an audience of approximately 200 — and many pats on the back. I he Wildlife Center of Virginia treats all kinds of injured critters, from eagles to mice, and releases them back into the wild when the animals can fend for themselves. The Center cares for up to 500 animals a month and is recognized worldwide as a leader in wildlife conservation. I he new facility is the best of its kind in North America, if not the whole world,” according to Mr. Clark.

Hospice volunteers provide these and many other services when caring for terminally ill patients. In addition to helping patients live their last days to the fullest, hospice volunteers may assist with financial and other personal matters that arise during and after the final stages of illness. Hospice volunteers are trained rigorously to care for patients and to assist and comfort those close to a terminally ill patient. Hospice of the Rapidan offers a comprehensive 30hour training session to certify new volunteers beginning Monday, Sept. 11. Classes will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays at the Hospice of the Rapidan office at 1200 Sunset Lane, Culpeper. The training is free. Without help from volunteers many of the personal services provided through hospice would not be possible. In fact, nearly 80 percent of hospice workers in the United States are volunteers who give their time to make life easier and more enjoyable for patients and families facing death. Many volunteers are compelled to give of themselves after a personal or familial experience with hospice. Others may want to share the kindness they received when dealing with the death of someone close, who may or may not have been under hospice care. To sign up for training, call Martha Sukites, volunteer coordinator at 825-4840. Take Stock •n America T W SAVINGS U.u. BONDS SHORIN-RYU OKINAWAN KARATE Wednesday <§> Ki Theatre Gay St..

For too long residents of Madison County who live along Route 600 have had to put up with cars parked illegally along their road even blocking their driveways and rudeness from hikers when they ask them to move their cars. Tenth District Rep. Frank Wolfs reaction was predictable. He opposes any effort to limit public access to the trail, but it is mostly tiis constituents from Northern Virginia who are the cause of the problem, and of course his district does not include our neighbors in Madison County who are the victims of their behavior. There is only a very small parking lot holding 12 to 15 cars at the head of the Old Rag Trail. This parking lot fills early in the morning on popular hiking weekends, and the topography makes expanding this lot nearly impossible. For several years the park service has leased land about .8 mile away for overflow parking that can hold about 200 cars. Too often this parking lot fills also. Even when it does not, visitors may drive right by it trying to park along the road closer to the trail. Rep. Wolf suggests Shenandoah National Park Superintendent William Wade hold public hearings to get suggestions from the public. Apparently he is unaware that the suggestion to limit the number of hikers came from precisely such a public hearing. Rep. Wolf suggests the park develop more parking inside the park. There are various plans to do so most involving using some additional land now outside the park. The park lacks the authority and funds to purchase additional land or to develop a parking lot. For years the Shenandoah National Park has asked for additional funds for operations and maintenance. Funds for operations have been increased slightly, but programs still lag behind those offered in earlier years, and maintenance projects have been put off year after year. The relationship between Rep. Wolf and the park service is strained. Congressman Wolf claims credit for doubling the size of the Manassas National Battlefield Park. He is the chief sponsor of a bill to add a park made up of several sites in the Shenandoah Valley where Civil War battles were fought. He has been disappointed to receive only lukewarm support for these projects from the park service, but these increased park service responsibilities will necessarily require more operating and maintenance expenses, and Congress has not been willing to approve sufficient funds. Shenandoah National Park could probably be self supporting if it got to keep fees collected at the entrances to the Skyline Drive and fees from campgrounds. However such revenues are turned over to the federal government, which in turn appropriates operating and maintenance funds. : It hardly makes sense to continuously increase the jurisdiction of the national parks if Congress is not willing to increase their budgets. competition is tough! W41T1/VC \urJe <* HRS "C'mofi dad/ ^ Pleeeease! Kings Dominion's line is shorter." i—"Yeah/ dad/ and \ they've got a ( river/ too!" Letters Scheer Supported To the Editor: In response to Mr. Frazier’s Letter to the Editor in last week’s Rappahannock News, I suggest Mr. Frazier learn to “read lips” himself. His favorite candidate, Mr. Katzen, is very adept in speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Mr. Katzen says he is in favor of education but was willing to cut funds for education. He says he is in favor of the environment but is willing to protect the polluters by reducing environmental controls. He supposedly wants to reduce mandates forced on communities by the state legislators, but he voted in favor of forcing rural counties to accept trailers in agricultural zoning districts. We are fortunate to have a candidate of the caliber of Sue Scheer. She tells it like it is, and she will vote for the benefit of Rappahannock County in the areas of education and preservation of our environment. FRANCES S. MOORE Flint Hill Campaign Finances Continued To the Editor: ^ Here we go again. It is hard to believe that someone can misstate or misunderstand facts as badly as Mr. Frazier has in describing the campaign financial reporting mistakes of the Katzen campaign. Mr. Frazier asserts that there was no real probe of filing errors, and that anyway, these errors were the result of Mr. Katzen’s inattention because of his flood relief efforts. Sorry' folks, but it just isn’t so. Here are the real (and boring) facts. The Katzen campaign made four financial transfers of $250 each from the 1995 campaign to pay a specific debtor in the 1993 campaign. The first took place on Jan. 1, and was listed in the Jan. 15, 1995, State Board of Elections filing. The Third took place on May 1, the fourth took place on June 1, and both were reported in the June 15 SBE filing. It is obvious that these violations of election law took place before the June 27 flood. To argue, as Mr. Frazier has, that these violations were due to the inattention of Mr. Katzen caused by flood concerns, is to argue that he knew of the flood 12 days before it occurred. An investigation of Mr. Katzen’s election law violations did take place. On July 26, a Mr. Bruce Meadows of the State Board of Elections ruled that he was in violation and required that he correct his filings. He did not attribute the violations to malice but instead to incompetence. 1 apologize if you find this tedious. I do myself, but it is also necessary to correct the allegations of Mr. Frazier. The point that I raised before, was this. The Katzen campaign of 1993 was over $19,000 in debt, yet in the Jan. 15 filing, Mr. Katzen moved a “surplus” of $936.65 from his 1993 campaign to his 1995 campaign. He then over the next few months moved back $1,000 from his 1995 campaign to pay off a debt in his 1993 campaign. This does not match the rhetoric about the fiscal conservatism that comes from the Katzen campaign. Rather than being a diversion Our Rappahannock Heritage j) wmm Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan This one-week old water buffalo calf and his mom live at Dixie Meadows Farm. from real issues of this campaign, this is an example of one of the problems with Mr. Katzen. What he says does not match up with what he does. Let me state what I see the issues of this campaign are. Mr. Katzen’s deeds in Richmond have not matched his words of 1993. Mr. Katzen’s actions in Richmond have not represented the needs and wishes of the voters in the 31 st District. He was too busy following an extremist agenda to pay attention to these concerns. Mr. Katzen also doesn't understand what these needs are. He didn’t know what they were when he moved into the district in 1993, and he hasn’t learned them since. Sue Scheer has lived for 30 years in the 31st District, running a farm, and raising a family. During this time, she has helped and served the people of this district in a variety of ways, with no expectation of reward or praise, and when there were no TV cameras rolling. She has a much better understanding of what is needed in the 31st District than does her opponent. One indication of this is the financial support she has received from many of these who supported Mr. Katzen in the last election, most of whom are Republicans. In Richmond she will represent all the voters of the 31st District. J. KENT REEVE Washington (Editor's Note: Mr. Reeve is Democratic Party Chairman for Rappahannock County.) Support Scheer To the Editor: Is Ron Frazier living in the same county as the rest of us? In last week’s Rappahannock News he complained that the paper erroneously reported that “Katzen Faces Election Probe.” That was no error. There was an investigation. It showed that Del. Katzen misused election funds. He used money that voters had donated to him this year to pay off election debts from a previous election. This is a violation of Virginia election law. It is not a serious violation, and nobody, including me, thinks Katzen did it maliciously. Nevertheless there was an investigation. The letter also states that Katzen’s opponent, candidate Sue Scheer, was being coached and was trying to read lips to get answers to questions at the Amissville candidate’s forum on Aug. 15. Sue Scheer doesn’t need to lip read to get her message across. She has intelligent views and opinions on many issues that vitally effect the lives of Virginians and Rappahannock residents. She has the best interests of all citizens in mind. The accusation is nonsense — “Scheer nonsense” — made up of nothing. We need Sue Scheer in the legislature to keep Rappahannock County from becoming another Fairfax. She needs our votes to get there. Listen to her. She has important messages for all of us. Read my lips. BRUCE SLOANE Sperryville Weeder Thanked To the Editor: Two weekends ago on a beautiful, bright, hot day, my wife and I found a very hardworking young lady, cleaning up the “flower garden” at the courthouse. Boy! What a difference it has made. She has cleaned the place up on that comer across from the Baptist Church. But, not only had she done that, she weeded the whole sidewalk from one side to the other, and the only tools I could see were her hands. We are summer residents, but at least their are some individuals that like to keep Little Washington the clean and beautiful little town it is. RAMON and JOYCE HARMON Washington New System Needed To the Editor: As our obsolete Price System continues toward collapse, we hear about lost jobs, increased crime, homeless people, and over 30 million citizens without health insurance. As one group blames another group for these problems we. have the potential for violence. With today’s technology, our supply of products and services far exceeds our ability to consume enough to keep businesses profitable. This causes businesses to look for consumers in underdeveloped nations: These countries need loans to become purchasers which our government backs with out tax money. Our government has been supporting other nations for years, until now we have to borrow money just to pay the interest on our own debt. To solve our problems we must have a more accurate means of distribution than the Price System which permits price changes every day. We know the production of all goods and services expends energy. Energy is measurable, therefore, these measures provide the only reliable information on which a technological society, such as ours, can organize a secure future. For this reason Technocracy proposes that Energy Accounting be sued to facilitate distribution.

BEYER Americans celebrated two important landmarks in August — the 75th anniversary of women’s right to vote and passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. By commemorating these achievements, we recognize that the continuing effort to abolish voting barriers moves our nation closer to the Jeffersonian ideal of a government by the people. In Jefferson’s Virginia, unfortunately, expanded access to voting rights is being blocked by Governor Allen and Attorney General Gilmore, who are wasting our tax dollars on a legal challenge to the National Voter Registration Act, or so-called “motor voter” law. So far, the courts have made short work of motor voter disputes stemming from states’ rights arguments. California, Illinois and Pennsylvania have all lost their initial challenges to the law. California’s appeal was recently rejected. In a unanimous decision, the conservative 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that motor voter is within Congress’ expressed constitutional power to make or alter state laws for congressional elections. Congress adopted the national motor voter law in 1993 to make voter registration more accessible and convenient. The law requires states to allow voter registration by mail and at state agencies — such as departments of motor vehicles — and establishes uniform, nondiscriminatory standards for the maintenance of voter lists. Motor voter’s premise is simple: Once registered, people are likely to vote, The challenge lies in getting them registered. States that have implemented motor voter and other forms of voter outreach experienced greater participation. In Minnesota, voter participation rose 25 percent; North Carolina had a 20 percent increase. Last November, Virginia voted to make motor vehicle part of the Commonwealth’s constitution, after the bill passed the General Assembly twice with bi-partisan backing. Despite this popular mandate, the Governor vetoed the motor voter legislation and the Attorney General recently filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of Justice to avoid compliance. They claim that motor voter is a federal infringement on states’ right and believe it will result in election fraud. Not only do the facts fail to support these arguments, but the fight against motor voter signals a willingness by the Allen administration to deny the overwhelming voice of Virginia citizens. What ever happened to trusting the people? Governor Allen’s assertion that motor voter will cause election fraud doesn’t hold water. While increasing participation at the polls, allowing voter registration at state agencies (where identity checks are already stringent) will likely deter people from falsifying information. In a survey of 25 states that register voters by mail — as motor voter stipulates — state election officials reported that fraud was not a serious problem. The survey, conducted by Mississippi Secretary of State Dick Molpus, found that most election fraud occurred during balloting, not registration. There is no legitimate basis for refusing to implement the motor voter law, particularly considering Virginia’s legacy of resisting voter’s rights. The Commonwealth sought to keep its poll tax in 1965 and stubbornly withheld its approval of the 19th Amendment — which give women the right to vote — until 1952, 32 years after it became law. Even today, Virginia’s voter registration laws continue to hinder participation, requiring a deputized regis- * trar to sign up each voter in person. It is no wonder that only six states register a smaller percentage of eligible voters than does Virginia. Motor voter will help Virginia*^ move forward on voter registration. In £ the first three months of this year, the * law added two million new voters nationwide and a projected 20 million * will sign up by the end of 1996 — a 17 percent increase in our nation’s ". electorate. If even half of the new vot- * ers go to the polls on Election Day, it „ will be a great step toward a more * participatory democracy. This is not time to turn back the clock. • --

Looking for Bargains^ Read the Classifieds! ► E-911 From Page A-l Rappahannock customers would not be delayed long waiting for WarTen County. That is not the case with Bell Atlantic customers. The company has taken the position that they will not switch those with Culpeper phone numbers to the county’s system until Culpeper County is ready to switch. For four weeks, from July 19 through August 9 the county purchased ads in the Rappahannock News urging Bell Atlantic customers with 937,.987, 547, 364, and 347 telephone exchanges to contact Bell Atlantic at (540) 899-2926 and give the company their new E-911 addresses. Besides saying they would not switch those with Culpeper numbers until Culpeper County’s E-911 system is ready to be turned on, the company also said they would not switch any Bell Atlantic customers on until 95 percent of them had contacted the company. Harry Doyle of Bell Atlantic said this was to protect their customer’s privacy since the E-911 system displays the telephone number and address when a call comes in to the dispatch center, and he said customers had to authorize the company to release that information. He also said Bell Atlantic was not responsible for publishing the 899 number, and residential customers should call the business office at 9546222 and business customers should call 954-6888 to report the new addresses. These are toll-free calls. A call to the Bell Atlantic number yields a voice mail message that does not mention E-911. Ultimately the Bell Atlantic business office treats the call as a simple change of address. Of course customers who will get their mail at their new E-911 adresses will have to notify Bell Atlantic and all their other correspondents of their new address because the post offices will stop delivering mail to the old addresses. However, many people will not have to change their addresses. They use post office boxes, or their Rappahannock County house is a second home and their bills come to their primary home. ► Park From Page A-l to 125 cars with restroom facilities would have to be put in park land. He said there is a possibility that a third party might purchase the land and donate it to the park. Shenandoah National Park cannot purchase land. A new parking lot at the trail head would be only part of the solution, Mr. Baker said. It would still be necessary to turn people away once the lot is full. He said the park is trying to encourage people to hike some of the other miles of trails assessible from Skyline Drive and to hike Old Rag on week days. The park service estimates that 100,000 hikers a year hike Old Rag. The park service is inviting comments on its proposal until September 8. Comments may be sent to Superintendent’s Office, Shenandoah National Park, Route 4, Box 348, Luray, VA 22835. One of the first to respond was Congressman Frank Wolf, R-lOth District, who wrote to Shenandoah National Park Superintendent William Wade immediately after receiving notice of the proposal to restrict access to the Old Rag Trail. “I am concerned with this measure which limits access to one of the park service’s most enjoyable treasures in the shadow of the nation’s capital,” he wrote. He wrote the park service should be making Old Rag more, not less, accessible and suggests “holding public hearings on this matter.” He also suggests that parking should be developed within the park. ► Scheer From Page A-l chairman of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors who ran and served as both a Republican and an independent, and Kay Hayes, past president of the environmental activist group Citizens for Fauquier County. The common thread of the group appears to be a preservationist philosophy — and the reason why Katzen’s loyalists deride their relevance. “Most of these people probably would be in favor of the stands that the Piedmont Environmental Council has taken,” said Mr. Seilheimer, who could not say how many actually belonged to groups like the PEC or CFFC. “I think a significant portion [of support for Republicans for Scheer] is fallout from the Disney vote,” he added. In voting for Del. Katzen two years ago, Mr. Seilheimer said he believed he had a candidate tapped into the preservationist community. Jay Katzen’s wife, Paddy, was active in recycling and was “better known as a person who understood these questions.” But Del. Katzen’s later votes left Mr. Seilheimer with the impression that “she had a little less swing with him than I thought she did.” Mr. Seilheimer began his statement by criticizing Del. Katzen for cutting funding for education. “He has turned his back on Virginia’s tradition of quality in public education and in keeping the state’s colleges the finest in the nation. He backed cuts of some S93 million from educational programs and [supportedjother measures that would have significantly weakened the state’s educational system,” he said. The group also criticized Del. Katzen for supporting the^ opening of rural areas to single-wide trailer homes, previously allowed only with local zoning consent. “Katzen is clearly out of step with JUNIORS A.

Dan Light believes that “Republicans for Scheer” is far from a defection of Del. Katzen’s base of support. He considers it a case of familiar political animals in the area again showing their faces: the professed Republicans who vote locally on the issues of growth and development. “They say they’re Republicans ... but they’re all PEC, and that’s Sue Scheer’s only issue,” said Mr. Light, who could not recall ever seeing more than two of the members at any local Republican event. “I can call myself a house, but what does that do to the housing market? Nothing. They can call themselves Republicans, but what does that do to the Republican candidate? Nothing,” Mr. Light continued. “The PEC is trying to take over both parties ... but real Republicans are 100 percent behind Jay Katzen.” uei. Kaizen also aiscouniea tne dedication of “Republicans for Scheer” to the GOP. “I have a hard time recalling that any of them had attended a Republican committee meeting,” he said Tuesday. “Charlie [Seilheimer] hasn’t been active in Republican campaigning.” Del. Katzen said the defections came as no surprise. At the time of his vote in favor of a $163 million incentive package of road improvements for the Disney project, several of the members of “Republicans for Scheer” vowed'to vote against him. But Del. Katzen quickly adds that he is heartened by the “conspicuous presence of those who have considered themselves Democrats” at some of his events. “We prefer to consider them Virginians for Katzen,” he said. Mr. McNear said he certainly considers himself a Republican. At the time the new 31st District was created following the 1990 census, Mr. McNear considered seeking the Republican nomination for the seat. He dropped out of the race, and Bob Darby won the party’s nomination. Mr. McNear said he attended the Republican state convention last summer. He does not agree that Del. Katzen’s support for the Disney project is the main reason this group is supporting Mrs. Scheer. “Disney is one thing. There are a lot of other things,” he said. He said Del. Katzen seems to have “no concept” of controlling development and supports taking away local control in favor or control from Richmond. . From Page A-l ► Town and no immediate need for additional office space. He said the county is looking at altering the former Methodist Church which it acquired from the town for office space, but has no immediate plans to do so, Mr. McCarthy said the former church might become an office for the Extension Service if trends to cut Extension continue. The county is renting space for Extension offices from Peter Kramer, but if cuts reduce the number of agents assigned to Rappahannock County the county would not need as much space. Mayor Willis and Mr. Gooch asked what the attitude of the county would be to the town expanding its boundaries. Mr. Massie and Dr. Krebser said the county would be concerned about increased demand for schools with a large development. Mayor Willis asked if the county would consider approving a sewer line from Washington to Sperryville for town sewage. Mr. McCarthy said courts have ruled when a sewer line is extended, any property owner along that line could tap into it. “There would be no way to stop growth if you did that,” Dr. Krebser said. Mr. McCarty encouraged the town to consider alternative sewage disposal such as artificial wetlands. Ms. van Dort asked about the “embryo industrial corridor” on U.S. 211. She said she was concerned it would eventually mean Washington and Sperryville were connected by a commercial strip. Mr. Massie said the planned General Commercial District extends from the former toll house to the Faith Mountain building and the county does not intend to let it extend to Sperryville. He said the county plans to have it expand back from the highway, not along it. — By SHARON KILPATRICK

Safety Class Offered for Hunters, Concealed Gun Carriers By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Twenty-four adults and children attended the hunter and handgun safety course given last weekend at the Amissville Fire Hall. The 10-hour course was taught by Rappahannock County Game Warden Jim Bankston and volunteer instructor Cheryl Taylor. It is required before obtaining a hunting license for the first time. Successful completion of the class also meets the requirement for those seeking a concealed handgun permit. Instructors Bankston and Taylor covered many topics in the two-da) class, including the history of hunting ethics, landowner/hunter relation' ships, laws, proper and safe gun ham dling techniques, proper field care o; animals, the different types ol firearms, first aid, black powder anc archery. In the Saturday class, Mr Bankston discussed the importance ol hunters telling someone where the) will he hunting, in case of an accident. He said that if a hunter gets lost there are many sources of food available, such as birds, bird’s eggs, roots ants, and grasshoppers. He cautioned - Photo courtesy of Laurie Marshall The group met Jesse Jackson at the Golden Gate ; Bridge. Ashley Dunn was photographed with him.

Mr. Bankston taught his students could be used in soup, or given to dogs. He cautioned that one of the worst ‘You need to do a lot of research before you pack these guns. Use common sense.... There is never and excuse for shooting someone ’ —Jim Bankston that deer can provide leather and food along with the antlers. When a deer is killed, he said, something should be done with it; it should not be disposed of illegally by dumping the head and carcass alongside the road somewhere. The deer hide could be sold and that money could be used to buy hunting supplies, he suggested. A book can be checked out of the library that teaches how to tan the hide. When one of the students asked if anything could be done with the bones, Mr. Bankston said that they things hunters can do is ride around with their deer on the front of their truck. Because the engine is hot, he said, the quality of the meat would leave something to be desired. The importance of carry ing a gun safely was stressed. He said that Rappahannock County does not have an ordinance prohibiting the carrying of a loaded gun, but all the surrounding counties do. He said the safest way to transport a gun is to have the action open, with the gun unloaded and in a case. “You Pianist Berkofsky Opens '95-'96 Theatre Season Martin Berkofsky, the internationally-acclaimed American pianist, opens the 1995-96 season at the Theatre at Washington at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 10. He plays two of the great 19th century piano sonatas, Brahm’s Sonata in F minor, Opus 5 and Liszt’s Sonata in B minor. Both works were included in concerts given by Berkofsky earlier this year in Europe. Referring to the rarely-heard Brahms sonata, one newspaper review of a concert in Romania stated, “Berkofsky triumphed in this sonata with enormous elan,” Szabadsag. Another spoke of his “gigantic expressive strength...’dissolving’ from one moment to the next in the softest and most delicate pianissimo,” Adevarul. Writing of the performance of the Liszt sonata, Adevarul praised the “boiling turmoil next to divine poetry” Bom in 1943, of Russian ancestry, Berkofsky was a child prodigy who appeared on national television at the age of eight. After winning a number of awards, most notably the National Music League Young Artists Competition, he lived and performed abroad for many years. He has recorded with the London and Berlin Symphony Orchestras. The upcoming concert is Berkofsky’s second solo recital at the Theatre in Washington. He is the artistic director of the Cristofori Ensemble, whose second season in residence at the Theatre at Washington begins in October with an all-Russian program. Friends of the Theatre plan a reception, at which members of the audience may meet Berkofsky, to mark the opening of the Theatre’s new season. The reception will be held immediately following the recital on Sept. 10. Tickets for the concert are $13.50 with reservation, $15 at the door. Children’s admission is half price. For reservations, or to obtain a scheduled of the Theatre’s new season, phone 675-1253. need to do a lot of research before you pack these guns. Use common sense,” he said. Mr. Bankston related some stories of people who were fatally injured due to the improper use of guns. “There is never an excuse for shooting someone,” he cautioned, adding that shooting someone is not an accident; it is negligence. He reminded his students that wearing blaze orange while hunting is mandatory in Virginia, and that the required wearing of it has cut down on hunting accidents in the state. Also discussed was the importance of making sure that the barrel and action are clear of any obstructions, and avoiding alcoholic beverages and drugs while hunting. Mr. Bankston suggests that any hunters under the age of 18 be supervised by an adult. A written test given at the end of the class was passed by all who attended.

Volunteers Build Outhouse Members of the Meji’s Brotherhood of the Washington Baptist Church in cooperation with the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board built an outhouse for Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jenkins near Flint Hill. Mr. Jenkins is 89 years old, and he and his family were walking out into the orchard to go to the bathroom. His old outhouse had filled up and the lumber rotted, so he tore it down. He said the old outhouse lasted him and his family 25 years. Material for the outhouse was donated by Telemann and purchased at Cherry Street Building Supply in Culpeper. The plans , came from Jim Marangoni and Bill Welch. The entire project took about 45 hours. Jeanie McNear, volunteer coordinator with the Community Services Board, reported that $10,000 worth of funds from the state housing authority were available to install a modem bathroom, but the owner of the house the Jenkinses rent did not want the bathroom installed. So Mrs. McNear got $200 donated from Teleman and contacted the church men’s group, and they took it from there. “It is a heartwarming example of Rappahannock folks helping their own and rings true of the old Rappahannock tradition that is still alive and well today," Mrs. McNear said.

Of course, we earn an income. Yet. though some are there because it is the "perfect career”, many remain because it is "just a job” or an extra income. Others daily perform tasks they dislike. How could all of these workers possibly share positive opportunities? Many of us share most of our waking hours w ith our co-workers. Relationships within the workplace can enrich a great career, or bring meaning to the time we spend in a less satisfying job. A pleasant smile and a positive greeting contribute to a happy day...even a Monday. Praise for a job well done and patience when progress is slow are qualities that are remembered. What better opportunity to give the gift of compassion or congratulations, depending upon the circumstances. Enjoy your Labor Day. for you have earned it: and when you return, remember...each day is a Friday w hen you make it a labor of love.

Toler PVT Shirley Blevins, of Amissville, who recently joined the Virginia Defense Force, recently qualified as a radio operator. PVT Blevins is shown above receiving radio net operation instructions from CPT Ceasar Gonzmart, of Manassas, at the conclusion of the operators’ class. Third Brigade Competes Radio Operators Training By JOHN T. TOLER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Effective July 1, 1995, all VADF personnel were required to successfully complete SOI 24-8-1, the Radio Operator Extension Training Course, in order to operate on VADF radio frequencies. Among those completing the course from Rappahannock County were the husband-and-wife team of SSG Ilerschel Blevins and PVT Shirley Blevins of Amissville. Two training/testing sessions were held for Third Brigade personnel. The first session was at Lord Fairfax Community College, Middletown, in March, and a makeup session at H.L. Pearson National Guard Armory in Warrenton. Before beginning the training, personnel had only varying degrees of proficiency in radio procedure. Phase I of the Radio Operator Extension Training Course consisted of a comprehensive home study course, prepared by ETC Walter G. Green, Division C&E Officer. Phase II involved four hours of classroom work and hands-on operation of VADF radios. Following the classroom work, candidates for qualification as a VADF radio operator completed a written examination, requiring a grade of 85 percent or higher to pass the course. Instructors for Phase II were Bde. C&E Officer MAJ Robert L. Laine of Manassas and Commo Chief SSG Sterrett Carter of Alexandria. Both instructors have had extensive experience with radio operation in their respective civilian occupations and shared their expertise and enthusiasm with their classes. Main topics of instruction included proper radio procedure and operation of a communications net; use of the phonetic alphabet and prowords; the technical aspects of radio operation and antennas; and the legal requirements of VADF radio operation. During the "hands-on” phase, candidates used the Amplitude Modulation transceivers recently acquired by the brigade for training and live missions.. MAJ Laine noted that once VADF personnel had qualified as radio operators they would be expected to refine their skills with practice. "We expect greatly improved radio communication during future VADF operations,” said MAJ Laine at the conclusion of the last class. Barbara Gentry Attended Convention Barbara Gentry spent last week in Chicago attending a Postmasters Convention. She was joined on Tuesday by her granddaughter, Susan Scott of Highland Park, 111. and her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Thomas M. Scott of Ames, Iowa.

Water Is Important Nutrient For Bodies By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent Home Economics As summer is now well on its way, it is very important to drink plenty of water to beat the heat! Most people do not think of water as a nutrient, however, it is the most important nutrient for our bodies. In fact, the human body can only survive for about three days without fluid intake. Functions of Water Water transports nutrients throughout the body to varying organs and tissues.lt also takes waste products out of the body via urine production and excretion. Water acts as a cushion for the joints of the body. For example, water protects the spinal cord and the eyes form shock. Also, during pregnancy the growing fetus is protected and cushioned by water. HOME ECONOMICS An important function of water, particularly during hot weather, is regulation of body temperature. Water helps to maintain an appropriate body temperature. When we sweat, the water of perspiration carries off large quantities of heat and cools the body. Also, constipation may be prevented if adequate water intake is combined with a fiber-rich diet. Dehydration Due to normal body processes such as urination, perspiration, and breathing we lose a significant amount of water daily. If adequate water is not consumed to replace the lost fluids, then dehydration will occur. Dehydration is a loss of body water in excess of fluids being taken in. The first sign of dehydration is thirst. Once the thirst mechanism is triggered, the body is already dehydrated. The advancement of dehydration then goes form thirst to weak^ ness. After weakness, symptoms of exhaustion and delirium may occur. If fluid is not consumed at this point, then death is likely. - Water Intake " Under normal conditions, the body needs between 2-3 quarts of water daily. Luckily, foods contain a significant amount of water.

Jane Sandoval of Arlington was a Friday luncheon guests of Misty Hitt. Closings Set The following offices and businesses will be closed on Monday, Sept. 4 in observance of Labor Day. The Health Department, Social Services and Family Guidance will be Closed. Rappahannock National Bank, F&M Bank and Rappahannock Library will also be closed. Rappahannock Schools, post offices and county offices will be closed. License Issued ■p. * The following marriage license was issued last week. * Robert Edward Pullen, Washington and Tammy Virginia Baldwin, Washington. fruits and vegetables are almost 95% water and meats and cheeses are about 50% water. So, if a well-balanced diet is being eaten there is an additional needs for 6-8 glasses of liquids daily. Plain water is the liquid of choice, but juices, milk and soups are sufficient to make-up the water balance. Caffeine-containing sodas and coffee, and alcohol, are not beverages of choice because they actually cause more frequent urination and fluid loss. Caffeine has a diuretic effect on the body and may cause dehydration. Two Kinds of Water There are two kinds of water — hard waters and soft water. Hard water contains large amounts of the two minerals calcium and magnesium. Often hard water leaves rings around bathtubs and sinks. Hard water also leaves rocklike crystals in teakettles and water pitchers. Soft water contains a high concentration of sodium, and it appears more bubbly than hard water. Studies have found that consumption of large quantities of soft water may contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease. Tap Water VS Bottled Water Many people feel that drinking bottled water is better for their health than drink tap water. In fact, the sale of bottled water has escalated tremendously over the pass 10 years. It is now estimated that 1 in 15 households use bottled water, instead of tap water, for drinking purposes. The reality of the situation is that most of the bottled waters that are produced contain similar mineral compositions to tap water, so it may not be better for health than tap water. Consumers may be Wasting money buying bottled water for health benefits. 1) U( I IT S S 1. OFhN Fri . Sat & Mon 10AM IX) S|'M Sunday 12 io s / X I miles frt.mi Warrenlnn un Hi 211.
