More Tests, Monitoring Suggested At Plant Site By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Testing to determine the extent of water contamination in the area of the Aileen plant in Flint Hill will take at least one more year. William L, Thomas, Project Manager for the Phase IV Ground Water Assessment Report prepared for Aileen by National Environmental Technologies, Inc. (NET) of Charlotte, North Carolina stated in a phone call earlier this week, “No one envisioned it would take this long. It could take a year to accomplish all the tasks we set*out to do.” In the Conclusions and Recommendations section of the extensive report, NET concludes that of the eight residential wells plus the well at the Flint Hill Pentecostal Church tested in April and May (the FHPC well was only tested in May as the water to it was turned off in April), FHPC’s well was the only well showing levels of contaminants higher than the maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for drinking water set by EPA. Tests showed that the church well had 96 ppb (parts per billion) of 1,1,2 trichloroethene (TCE), for which the MCL is 5. Also found was 14 ppb of 1,1 dichloroethane (DCA); the MCL is also 5 for this one. 12 ppb of 1,1 dichloroethene (DCE) was also detected; it has a MCL of 7. NET recommends that four of the residential wells be sampled semi-annually, and that three others, along with the church well, be sampled on a quarterly basis. Of the ground water samples taken last May from 16 monitoring wells, most of which were drilled in close proximity to the plant, 10 show evidence of contaminants in excess of the MCL for that chemical. Those contaminants found were tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and dichloroethane (DCA). According to Chris Demme of the Office of Water Progiams at the Virginia Department of Health in Culpeper, PCE, TCE and DCA See Aileen, Page A-8 r — Old Rag Bulletins Land Use The Commissioner of Revenue’s Office will accept applications for land use taxation through Nov. 1.

CCLC Seeks Endowment Children at the Child Care and Learning Center stuffed envelopes to mail out 500 letters and brochures last Thursday as CCLC kicked off a campaign to raise a $500,000 permanent endowment fund for scholarships. The board of directors hopes to have the money in a permanent endowment fund by November of 1997, the 20th anniversary of the center’s founding. , About one-third of the 120 chil dren who attend the center receive some scholarship help. The center’s $335,000 opating budget includes $36,000 raised annually in the local community through solicitations and various fund raisers. This has helped the center qualify for about $90,000 in grants annually. Anticipating a drop-off in the availability of grant funding, the center’s board of directors hopes the permanent endowment fund will produce $35,000 to $40,000 a year in income to be used entirely for scholarships, enabling the center to continue serving children from varied backgrounds. The brochure accompanying the letter urges recipients to consider a variety of ways of helping. CCLC provides full and part time day care and education for preschoolers. It has been widely recognized for the innovation and quality of care offered. — By SHARON KILPATRICK County May Lose Control Of Towers By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The county may lose the right to have any say at all over the location and height of cellular telephone towers under legislation now in Congress. Both houses have passed bills overhauling telecommunications law. The bills affect everything from cable television companies to which companies can offer local and long-distance telephone service. A conference committee will iron out differences between H R. 1555 and S. 652. In their present f(|m both bills allow the Federal Comminications Commission to preempt local zoning authority over the placement, construction, operation or modification of cellular towers. The National Association of Counties (NACO) sent out a legislative alert to county officials urging counties to contact Rep. Thomas Bliley (R-7th District), who as chairman of the House Commerce Committee will lead House conferees during consideration of the bill, and urge him to suppport language giving local govememnts poWer to regulate location of the towers as long as they do not act to outlaw them directly or “do not unneccessarily delay” their construction. According to the record of debate on the bills the cellular telephone industry plans to increase the number of such towers in the nation from about 18,000 currently to 100,000 by 2000. Rep. Bliley supported inclusion of the FCC preemption in the bill, but in a subsequent “colloquy” during floor debate indicated he would be willing to push for a change in the final form qf the bill that would limit that preemption. Currently both Cellular One and ShenTel are leasing space oh Adelphia Cablevision's tower in Chester Gap for cellular phone use. However, that still leaves much of the county out of the radio range of a tower. County Administrator John McCarthy said neither company is currently interested in negotiating with the county while they wait to see what sort of final legislation emerges from the US. Congress In July 1994 Cellular One came to the county with a plan to build a 250-foot tower behind the jail in Washington to serve its customers and to share the use of the tower with the Sheriffs Office which could use it to dispatch deputies and fire and rescue squads. Sheriff John Henry Woodward said he badly needed a higher tower because there are more and more areas of the county his current radio equipment cannot reach. There was opposition to this proposal because of its location. The county accepted the volunteer services of William Biby, an engineer and telecommunications planner with property in the county, who provided the county with maps showing the probable area of coverage with different locations for a tower. The Rappahannock Farmers' Co-op tentatively offered land behind its building if it could also use the tower to dispatch its trucks, and the Board of Supervisors accepted this proposal. However, representatives of Cellular One said the mountain behind the Co-op would prevent its signal from reaching the entire courts arc the rex: tower near Front Royal.

Charles and Frances Eldred have applied to the council for a special use permit to operate Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern on the ground floor of their Washington House residence. Mrs. Eldred explains that Anne Calvert Coxe is the first owner and operator they can trace of the inn and restaurant that used to be run from their house. In 1799 she received a ljcense from Culpeper County, which at that time included what is now Rappahannock County, to operate an “ordinary.” She had been married in 1798. Some time after the marriage and after Mrs. Coxe had her license to operate, Mr. Coxe went west and “died in a barroom brawl” according to local rumor, Mrs. Eldred said. “Anne Coxe was clearly a woman before her time,” Mrs. Eldred said. “She owned and ran her own business, loaned money, and she was used as a reference.” She said Mrs. Coxe ran the ordinary, which provided meals and lodging, until her death in 1848. “She was an independent lady and an astute business person,” Mr. Eldred said. It was during her tenure that the ordinary served as the gathering place for those working on the formation of Rappahannock County as a separate county from Culpeper, and it was partially because of the presense of Mrs. Coxe’s Ordinary and other inns and restaurants in the town that Washington was picked over Woodville as the county seat. “They held court here before the courthouse was built,” Mr. Eldred said. “The bell on the upstairs porch was used to call the justices.” It was also used to call people to meals when they were ready and to call servants to bring the horses around “from the stables out back,” they said. They have some evidence that the building was used as an inn or ordinary before Mrs. Coxe’s time, that George Washington not only danced in the ballroom, created when the tables and chairs in the dining room were pushed back, but also spent the night there. Following Mrs. Coxe’s death the property was purchased by Amos Dear whose son Col. Charles Dear rode with Mosby’s rangers. He continued to operate it an an inn. Mrs. Eldred’s grandfather J.E. Thomton purchased the property in 1900 and he and his wife ran it. It was during his tenure that the hotel became known as “Washington House” but it was also known as “Thornton’s Hotel,” Mrs. Eldred said. Following her grandfather’s death, his widow and daughter, Mrs. Eldred’s mother Edna Walker, ran the hotel until 19S0, when Mrs. Walker closed it. Mrs. Eldred said that growing up in a hotel is “the reason I’ll never do a B and B,” but she is does want to reopen it as a restaurant with a tavern. They will be putting in a reproduction of the old bar cage in the tavern room and will make use of the original window between the tavern and dining room. They are hoping to make the place as much like the original as possible, but it has not been easy. Mr. Eldred explained the original tavr em had exposed beams in the ceiling, but fire code calls for them so be covered with sheet rock, “so it there are beams, they will be fake ones,” he said. They expect to have seating for 50 using the large dining room and the smaller tavern room. There will be an entrance from the parking lot in the back as well as See Tavern, Page A-8 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahdn Sam Marvin works on the roof, part of the effort to convert Washington House into Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern.

Day REALTOR BONANZA FOR 1st TIME BUYERS If there was ever an opportunity for the first-time buyer to purchase a home, that time is NOW! If I was a current renter, I'd do everything possible to withdraw, beg or borrow the funds to make that first purchase. There'll never be a better opportunity. The reasons are two-fold - reduced home prices and tax breaks. Home prices have fallen dramatically over the past few years. Real estate values have always moved in tandem with the economy. The country is in a recession so prices are down. Along with falling prices, you'll find vastly more opportunities on the market. You'll probably never have a wider choice of homes than today. Despite the closing of most tax loopholes in the Tax Reform j\ct. the homeowner retained most of the major deductions. Just the deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes will reduce your taxes in a big way. It has been estimated that a homeowner's income taxes are one half that of a renter who makes the same income. Why delay buying your first home or condominium? The best time is NOW!

Knife in School, Bus Accident Mar Week By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff W riter Less than one week into the new school year, a student was caught with a knife at the high school. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, last Friday morning a knife was found on a student. He said that the school is handling the prob-. lem in-house. Assistant superintendent Mary Ann Biggs said a student had a “jack knife” in his pocket. Because that is considered a violation of the school’s policy on weapons, the student has received a long-term suspension, she said. A minor accident took place Tuesday afternoon involving a school bus. Mrs. Biggs reported that the driver was attempting to turn onto U.S. 522 north in Flint Hill from Route 729 when it was hit by a car trying to pass and make the same turn. The only child in the bus belonged to the driver. No one was injured, and a substitute bus will be used until that bus can be checked out, Mrs. Biggs said. David Allen Nichols, 41, of Sperryville, was arrested for assaulting Susan Eaton Warren and Jason Ruffner. The alleged assaults took Correction Sgt.

Last week it was reported that an anonymous phone call to the Sheriff’s Office led them to discover a patch of four 5-foot tall plants. Ms. McCloud lives on Route 630. James O. Jenkins, 43, of Boston, was arrested last Saturday evening for being drunk in public at a party on Route 622 in Woodville. Pratt on UNITAS Deployment Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Andrew K. Pratt, a 1989 graduate of RCHS has departed on a six-month South American deployment aboard USS Comte De Grasse, the flagship for the commander of the U.S. South Atlantic Force. Pratt is one of 382 sailors aboard the ship who departed Norfolk in June to participate in the UNITAS ‘95, a multinational exercise which begins off the coast of Puerto Rico and continues around South America. UNITAS is the Latin word for unity. Pratt’s ship is one of five U.S. ships participating in the exercise. Pratt and fellow shipmates will conduct at-sea, amphibious and inport exercises with naval forces from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Pratt’s ship will travel completely around South America in a counter clockwise direction after traveling through the Panama Canal. HOURS: M-F 9:30-5:30 SAT 9:30-4:00 Thursday! Friday! Saturday!

Funds raised by the Virginia Sheriffs’ Institute will be matched by Hands Across Virginia, making $16,000 already distributed. Of that, $3,000 is reserved for helping build a new house for Virginia Fletcher whose Harris Hollow house was destroyed by the flood. The bulk of the funds, $10,000, will go to Madison County where a number of families have been identified with serious housing needs, and $3,000 will go to a family in Rapidan which lost its home. Hands Across Virginia is a public-private initiative created by Gov. George Allen designed to promote and oversee volunteer activities during times of state-wide emergencies, such as the recent floods. John W. Jones, executive director of the Virginia Sheriffs’ Institute said. “The members of the Sheriffs’ Institute have successfully raised more than $46,000 to date for flood assistance through the generous donations of caring Virginians. This is our first award of funds, but it will not be our last. We will continue to work with our local sheriffs and the Hands Across Virginia volunteers to see that every penny of contributed funds are used to help rebuild homes and lives.” David Caprara, director of the Department of Housing and Community Development, announced the contribution saying, “The Virginia Sheriffs’ Institute and its statewide membership have exhibited extraordinary leadership, along with Hands Across Virginia, in getting cash assistance to flood victims who lost everything in the recent disaster. Once again, the spirit and generosity of Virginians has come to the fore to aid our neighbors in need.” Dear Parents Of Rappahannock Elementary School Students, In 1937, the Children’s Bible Mission began to hold Bible classes in Virginia public schools.

It is also another example of the falsity of the claim by some in the Republican Party which controls Congress that it is interested in reducing the power of the federal government and turning it back to the states and localities. Clearly the county now has zoning authority over the location of towers. Just as clearly this bill would take that power away, and instead the Federal Communications Commission would be able to overrule the interests of the people of Rappahannock County in not having the landscape scarred by 250-foot towers. Apparently the FCC is not really interested in regulating the location of these towers, only in seeing that local governments do not get in the way of cellular telephone companies and their desire to expand this new industry. Indeed it is not the people, or their representatives in local government, whose interests are being fostered by bills like this but the interests of large corporations. The National Association of Counties is urging local governments to contact Republican Rep. Thomas Bliley whose Seventh District seat includes Culpeper County and urge him to support an amendment that would allow counties some say over the location of such towers as long as they do not ban them or “unneessarily delay” them. Rep. Bliley will lead House conferees in the conference committee to draft the final form the bill will take, and he has said he will support such a clause. Citizens should also let Rep. Frank Wolf and the state’s senators Robb and Warner know they resent this intrusion by the federal government into the county’s zoning authority. Rappahannock County has not been seeking to ban communications towers. Instead it has been trying to work with cellular telephone companies to find a location for such a tower that does not overly detract from the county’s scenic views and does improve radio communication from the dispatch center at the Sheriffs Office. It is not likely the cellular phone companies will be interested in working with the county on that if this bill is approved. County taxpayers need to be ready for large expenditures for improved radio equipment for the dispatch center if this bill passes. Or possibly the county could just equip and the cars and equipment used by deputies and fire and rescue personnel with cellular phones. That is, of course, precisely what the cellular phone companies are hoping for. I---—-— RAPPAHANNOCK'S OWN GLOBETROTTERS' YFU 95-96 r7 'f.PRl D 6?

Letters to the Editor Support Katzen To the Editor: Delegate Jay Katzen supported Disney, so vote him out. That’s the word from the environmental elite and a group of “Republican Against Katzen.” OK, I wasn't on Jay’s side of the Disney issue, either. Preserving the rural character of the place where I live is my parochial interest, and 1 don’t mind fighting for it. But Jay Katzen represents the people who were on the other side of the issue, too, and he had to make his decision based on what he thought was in the public interest. If he were purely prodevelopment, or purely anti-development and no-growth (as his election opponent most assuredly is) he would not be able to do his job. (With the Democrat we would get one hundred per cent no-growth voting, no question about it. We would also get opposition to cuts in government spending, and opposition to any change in the public schools that offends the teachers’ unions. We would weaken our chances of overthrowing the Democratic dynasty that has ruled our General Assembly since Reconstruction. These are heavy costs to pay to get a no-growth legislator. The coming out of these Republicans Against Katzen is actually good news, because otherwise we would have never known they were Republicans. We cordially invite them to begin participating in Republican meetings, rallies, and other foot-soldier kinds of activities. ROBERT M. DARBY Woodville Consider Other Issues To the Editor: In recent attacks, Del. Jay Katzen’s opponents concentrate on one issue — development — to urge his defeat. Politics isn’t that simple. It covers many areas, disturbing as that may be. Even if for you the “defining issue” is abortion, or a balanced budget, crime, education or term limits, take a wider look. Focus on a candidate’s broad views. Do that and the differences are clear: for the Democrat, ever bigger, more intrusive, costlier governments. For the Republican, the reverse. Del. Katzen’s opponent revealed her guiding principle at Amissville recently. She said the choice is between “...dismantling government [that’s how Democrats refer to lower taxes, fewer bureaucrats, a reduced Nanny state] and making it more effective and focused.” Can anyone doubt she’s a Big Government Democrat? ' You may not agree with Del. Katzen on all issues, but he represents everyone in the District, including many who want jobs, as well as we who prefer its present rural character. Equally important, Jay Katzen believes in and supports the best of America’s successful principles; limited governments, balanced budgets, re-payment of debts, private enterprise and a free market, with minimal government controls, interference, rules. That’s they way to go! Support Katzen in ’95. JOHN MAROCCHI Sperryville WVFD Thanks Helpers To the Editor: The Washington Volunteer Fire Department (WVFD) wishes to express appreciation and thanks to John and Bernard Campagne, owners of the Bleu Rock Inn for permitting WVFD to install a “Dry Hydrant” in their lake. This will enable WVFD and other county fire companies to refill fire trucks without going to the nearest hydrant approximately 2 1/2 miles away in Washington. This is especially significant because of the high school and elementary school and business activities nearby. Also, WVFD wishes to express appreciation and thanks to Ellis “Jack” Jenkins who donated his time and equipment to install the hydrant; also, to Forester Herbert Reynolds, who assisted in siting and completing the driveway, and to The Virginia Farm Bureau for their assistance and grant to help pay for the installation.

The Writer’s Art A Few Distinctions By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Universal Press Syndicate The story is told on Noah Webster. His wife caught him in the act of pleasuring the chambermaid. “Noah!" she cried, “1 am surprised!” “No, my dear,” said the great lexicographer, disentangling himself, “you are astonished. I am surprised.” A significant part of the writing art lies in tl^ making of such nice distinctions. A reader raised the point in a letter just the other day. What was the difference, he asked, between being scared and being afraid? He might also have asked about “fearful,” “frightened” and “apprehensive.” Let us sort them out. As I read the dictionaries, "scared” and “frightened” are pretty much the same thing. Each carries an overtone of sudden alarm. We are scared by an eerie sound in the night; we are frightened by the thought of a burglar. “Afraid” carried a broader connotation. We may be afraid of failing an exam, afraid of inhaling pollen, afraid of giving offense. “Fearful” is close to “apprehensive.” We sense the approach of something unpleasant. Many commentators have dwelled upon the distinction between “anxious” and “eager.” No problem here. “Anxious” is linked to anxiety. When we are anxious about something, we are worried, apprehensive, concerned, almost fearful. When we are eager, we are filled with pleasant anticipation. What about “avoid” and “evade”? As the taxman will tell you, the two verbs are quite different. All of us have a right to avoid taxes in any way that we lawfully can; but if we evade taxes we are likely to be in deep trouble. “Evade” is a second cousin to “elude,” but the verbs are used differently. The sense of Ezra Pound’s poetry may elude us, or escape us, but it would not evade us. We’ve talked before about “healthy” and “healthful,” but it will do no harm to repeat: People are healthy, foods are healthful. The distinction is fading, but in the name of Noah Webster, he of the fondled lass, we ought to preserve it. „ I’ve also fretted many times about the unraveling of “replica.” Strictly speaking, a replica is a reproduction of an original work of art (or whatever) by the original maker thereof. It is nonsense, therefore, to speak of replicas of Columbus’ ships, or replicas of the Elgin marbles, or replicas of the Declaration of Independence. These are reproductions, or copies, or facsimiles. The preservation of “replica” in its pristine meaning is probably a lost cause, but language lovers fight lost causes all the time. In that regard, even the most respectable bankers have given up on the preservation of “to lend.” I know that “to loan” has been around for centuries, but lending has a nicer sound than loaning. We should lend dollars, ears and enchantment, and consign "loan” to the bin of common nouns. Let us get straight on frogs and toads. They are both amphibians, but the toad stays on land except when laying eggs. The toad is roughskinned, warty and toothless. The frog is a smooth and slippery fellow. On something else: All statues are sculptures, but not all sculptures are statues. A sculpture these days can be any fool thing — oil cans, pingpong balls, little black boxes, mounds of dirt — but a statue is the figure of a complete person A torso is the sculpted figure of a nude human truck. A bust takes in only the head and shoulders. Are we clear on “doggerel,” “verse” and “poetry”? Don’t be deceived by standard definitions that define poetry as verse and vice versa. Doggerel is frivolous stuff, loosely rhymed, unpretentious, but it can be tough to write. Anybody can write verse, especially free verse, which requires neither rhyme nor cadence. True poetry is something else. It demands intensity of emotion, great skill in the handling of word?, superlative powers of observation and imagination. Not long ago I read of a convention of $2,500 poets.” What rubbish! It would be amazing if the 20th century produces 50 American poets whose work will stand up 50 years hence. While we’re making distinctions, let us distinguish versifiers, who are many, from poets, who are exceedingly few. Copyright 1995 U niversal Press Syndicate . .'

Four-Team Bull Run Becomes More Likely By SHARON KILPATRICK r > Rappahannock Newt Staff Wrttcr Rappahannock County High School is very likely to be in a fourschool Bull Run District starting in the fall of 1997. In late August the redistricting and reclassification committee of the Virginia High School League, voted 11 to 0 to support that alighment. .. The VHSL executive committee >vill meet later this month to adopt a plan that will fix schools in districts for athletic and other competition for a three-year period starting with the next school year. Schools have an opportunity to request amendments to the plan through die end of this week, and RCHS Principal Jack Raines and athletic director Mike Tupper are considering an appeal. However, with the other schools apparently satisfied With this redistricting, any objection from RCHS is unlikely to prevail. Joining RCHS in the realigned Bull Run District are only George Mason, Manassas Park and Brentsville District high schools. Clarke County will be with the three Shenandoah County high schools, Central, Strasburg and Stonewall Jackson, and the two Page County high schools, Page County and Luray, in a new Shenandoah District with six teams. The Skyline District with six teams including Madison County and the James River District with seven teams make up the rest of Region B of the Group A schools in the league. Mr. Raines told the Booster Club last month that if RCHS ends up in the new four-team Bull Run District, he will try to schedule non-district games with long-term rivals in the new Shenandoah District. Principals and athletic directors of the other schools in the four-school district are pleased with the new alignment because it will be easier to advance to regional competition. In some sports the district champion and second place team advance. In that case it would only be necessary to defeat two schools to advance to regional competition. For those schools the new district also means less long-distance transportation to away games since they would probably play their non-district games with AA schools in Northern Virginia. Exchange Students Go Out for School Sports The record eight foreign exchange students who are attending Rappahannock County High School this year and staying with county .families should add a lot to the school’s sports scene. The students come to the county under the auspices of Youth for Understanding, which also sends American students on exchange stays abroad for a year, half year or summer. Santiago Mosquara of Popayan, Colombia, is staying with Sharon and Peter Luke, Christina and Ben at their horfie in the F.T. Valley. He is interested in mountain biking. He is running with the cross country team and plans to run track in the spring. Kenji Iwasa of Ishiicho, Myozaigun, Japan, is staying with Bobby and Sheila Watson and Nile and Sky at their Woodville home. He is interested in soccer, plans to play with a club soccer team this fall and play with the high school team in spring. Another soccer player is Rodrigo Huidobro of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He is staying with Nancy and Kent Reeve, Alice and Rob in Gid Brown Hollow. Carlos Cerecer of Culiacan, Mexico, is staying with David and Evelyn Kerr, Keri, Chris and Kiersten in Flint Hill. He plans to play baseball in the spring. Brenda Swinkels of Bruegel, Holland, is staying with Jeanie and Dick McNear, Susannah and Laura in Gid Brown Hollow. She is interested in horseback riding and is on the girls’ basketball team. Myriam Lathuile of Saint Jean de Sixt, France, is staying with Margaret and Douglas Baumgardner, Caroline, Alex, Spenser and Julia just outside Washington. She is running cross country with Caroline and is also interested in horseback riding. Anika Stegeman of Schoeningen, Germany, is staying with Sharon Pierce and Franklin Van Beuren, Alexe and Eliza. She is also interested in horseback riding. Returning to the high school is Tano Abero from Tacuarembno, Uruguay. His second year in Rappahannock is independent of YFU. This year his host family is Paula and Tom Klatko and Sarah of Sperryville. He will be returning to the soccer team this spring. Anika and Jenji are high school juniors; the other six join the senior class at RCHS. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Maha Jennifer Woodard tries a basket during varsity practice. r Soccer Starts Saturday By BOB HOWARD Rappahannock New* Starr Writer One hundred forty-five Rappahannock County kids between the ages of 5 and 14 are ready to have a ball. Literally. The Rappahannock Soccer League kicks off its fall season this weekend with more teams than ever before. The League’s Commissioner, Bob Lucking, has been busily adding teams to meet the eager demand. “We’ve had an outstahding turnout. We have teams for kids under 6 (U6), U8, U10, U12, and U14. At this point, I’ve had to divide the U8s twice, first into two teams and now into three teams. This is all very promising for the future of soccer in Rappahannock County.” All Rappahannock teams will play teams from Culpeper and Fauquier Counties. Home games will be at RCF.S for the U6, U8 and UlO teams. U12 and U14 will play home games at RCHS. The season begins this Saturday. Additionally, this season is the first time that Rappahannock will field an all girls soccer team. The U12 team is coached by Maggie Rogers who is very pleased with the number of girls interested in playing. “Right now we have 20 players on the roster. Approximately one-half of them have had prior soccer experience in a co-ed league, so we’re working with different skill levels. However, they all seem to be fairly athletic....Plus they are very happy to have the opportunity to play with girls against other girls.” The U12 girls’ team will play all of its games at Saint Luke’s in Culpeper and Vint Hill Farm Station in Fauquier. Their season begins Sept. 23. The Culpeper Pain Center 800 Sunset Lane, Culpeper Michael W. Russell, M.D. announce the opening of the new practice treating chronic pain.

By Appointment Available for parties (540) 347*3214' Wanenton Coach Expects Stronger I Girls' Basketball Season mmoBwr m ■ By BOB HOWARD Rappahannock News Staff Writer After losing five senior starters from last season’s team, you’d expect Rappahannock County High School Girls Varsity Basketball Coach, Laura Conklin, to expect the worst for this season. That’s not the case at all. “I expect us to be stronger than last year,” she said. “Position for position we’re a lot bigger than we were last year, especially underneath. We plan on being in every game this year.” This year’s team will be led by Junior Tri-Captains, Kylene Wolfe, Sara Gentry, and Angie Atkins. All three saw significant Varsity minutes last season, and should be integral parts of this season’s team. Angie, used primarily as a forward last season, will move to the back court. “Angie is our best ball handler,” Coach Conklin said. “We’re missing a truly strong point guard, so Angie is going to take over there.” Kylene showed that she could play both inside and outside last season. This year she will see time at both the big guard and small forward positions. Sarah began last season with the JV, but played remarkably well after a midseason call up. She can play anywhere on the front line, but figures to be down low most of the time. Senior, Cari Kerr returns after a year away from basketball. Coach i Conklin is extremely pleased to have Cari’ss athleticism and instincts on the team, as her interior game can I --- overpower weaker defenders. Like Cari, Tamika Washington did not play last season. Coach Conklin plans to have her begin the season at forward. “Tamika is our best leaper, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised with her ball handling ability. As the season goes on, and she improves, we may use her back there.” Charity Brown and Larisa Roberts will help out in the backcourt. Larisa, who starred on last season’s JV team, will see action at both guard positions. She is one of the best defenders on the team. Cahrity missed last season, but has the skills to challenge those in front of her for minutes. Jennifer Woodard and Dawn Havstad have moved up after strong seasons with the JV last year. Jennifer can work inside and out, but will probably go to the backcourt this season. Dawn will see time at the center position. Rounding out the team is foreign exchange student, Brenda Swinkels. Brenda, from Holland, had not played basketball prior to this season. Coach Conklin is very happy with her progress. “She learns very quickly.

JV Team Seeks To Improve When Girls’ Junior Varsity Basketball tryouts were held on Aug. 14 and 16 girls showed up, Coach Emily Wingate couldn’t have been happier. “In the past we’ve had real problems with numbers, so it was nice to see that there was so much interest,” she said. Unfortunately for Coach Wingate, only two players have prior experience with organized basketball. She acknowledged that it’s very difficult to compete against schools where the players have been playing in feeder programs since 4th and 5th grade. “We’re behind other teams, so we’ve had to spend a lot of time with fundamentals, but they’re learning very FAUQUIER - LIVESTOCK EXnHflNRE INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 10 a.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st Toes., 1:30 p.m. Every Month In addition to our regular sales on the 2*° Tuesday of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle Sale Consignments Welcome.

[Volcanic Rock Found on Big Battle Mountain / By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer A volcano erupted in Castleton 702 million years ago where Big Battle Mountain now exists. Big Battle and Little Battle Mountains are located on the east side of Route 729 in Castleton. Dr. Richard P. Tpllo, assistant professor of geology at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., has been bringing geology students to Castleton over the last ten years to study the distinctive granite and other rocks which make up the Big Battle and Little Battle Mountains. Some of his students have done their master’s theses in this area. The granite |is part of a much larger group of rocks called the Robertson River Suite, which extends from Ashby Gap in northern Virginia to the Charlottesville area, a distance of 65 miles. Dr. Tollo said, “The earth history contained in these rocks speaks of still another, earlier chain of moun tains.

They hailed from China, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, France and other countries, and were attending the week long Hutton Symposium at the University of Maryland to study the origin of granite and related rocks. Dr. Tollo brought them out to Castleton for the day. They all lunched at Mary Frances and Bill Fannon’s Laurel Hills Farm, cooled off in the pool, and then headed out in four vans to study several areas close by. The Fannon family owns the property which includes Big Battle Mountain. The first stop was on the south side of Big Battle Mountain, approached from Route 640. After a short hike, the group found itself on a large outcropping of granite and felsite. Dr. Tollo said that the granite in the Robertson River Suite is very uniquf and allows geologists to learn about the geologic history of the area by studying the rocks. He said that by crushing and analyzing the granite, he has found that the granite is of an alkaline nature, with much potassium, sodium and calcium. “This alkaline nature of the Robertson River (Suite) is a common characteristic of granites occurring in rift zones around the world,” he said. Fred Hutson, who did his master’s thesis here, was the student who discovered the volcanic rocks, along Route 615 near Blackwater Creek in Castleton. He said the rocks used to be mapped as sandstones, but through chemical analysis and microscopic study, he found that most of the rocks were volcanic. In an article by Dr. Tollo in the Virginia Explorer, he said that the rocks that Mr. Hutson found were identical compositionally to some of the granites on Battle Mountain. He said, “at least some Robertson River magmas did reach the surface and the rifting was accompanied by violent eruptions involving tremendous quantities of ash and steam.” He pointed out that it was another 100 years before the continent, called Laurentia, split apart to form an ocean. On the ocean floor the sedimentary rock, which characterizes most of Rappahannock’s mountains, was laid down. Mr. Hutson also studies rocks in ) Antarctica, and is working to solve the mystery of how continents fit together before continental drift. When the group arrived at the site of the volcanic rocks, everyone got busy immediately with their hammers and loupes to study them. Dr. Tollo pointed out a streak of fluorite in one of the pieces, and said that fluorite is rare in the Blue Ridge. Volcanic rock is found near Blackwater Creek.

ArCom Publishing Buys Two Fairfax Weeklies ArCom Publishing Inc., owner of the Rappahannock News and Fauquier Times-Democrat, purchased the McLean Providence, Fairfax County’s oldest weekly newspaper, and the Great Falls Current from Dear Communications Inc. last Tuesday. The purchase gives ArCom’s Times Community Newspapers a total of 16 weekly newspapers with a combined circulation of nearly 200,000 households in Northern Virginia. “These newspapers represent a long-standing tradition of community journalism in McLean and Great Falls, and we are very proud to have them as part of our Fairfax County group,” said Times Community Newspapers’ Publisher Arthur W. Arundel, who raised his family of five in McLean. David R. Deal Sr., who bought the Journal in 1986 from longtime owner William Elvin, said last Tuesday: ' ArCom’s record of small city newspapering is outstanding in the publishing field. We feel confident the readers of our papers will be served with excellence.” The McLean Providence Journal was founded in 1884 as the Providence Journal, taking its name from Providence magisterial district, which at that time included McLean, Great Falls, Vienna, Oakton and the City of Fairfax. In the early 1970s, the Fairfax Herald, which dated back to 1882, was incorporated into the Providence Journal. Dear created the Current in 1990. Tuesday’s purchase underscores the growing dominance of Times Community Newspaper and ArCom as the leading newspaper publisher in Northern Virginia, Mr. Grubisich said. “We now have a solid swath of newspapers extending from the Potorpac River south to the Occoquan River and west into the Piedmont.” In Fairfax County, Times Community Newspapers publishes the Reston Times, the Herndon Times, the Centreville Times, the Chantilly Times, the Vienna Times, the Burke Times, the Fairfax Times, the Fairfax Station Times and the Springfield Times Courier. ArCom’s corporate headquarters is located south of Herndon. It also publishes the Loudoun Times-Mirror, the Eastern Loudoun Times, the Fauquier Times-Democrat, and the Clarke Courier as well as the Rappahannock News. Dear’s Arlington Courier was not part of Tuesday’s sale and will continue to operate under Dear managej ment. David R. Dear Jr. is editor and publisher of the Dear newspapers. ► Aileen From Page A-l are possible carcinogens. PCE and TCA (trichloroethane) were used at the Aileen plant to dry clean finished garments. Last May, four deeper ground water monitoring wells were constructed to provide more information. NET made the recommendation that property owners to the north of the plant be asked for permission to construct ground water monitoring wells. The NET report says, “Based on analytical data obtained to date, the vertical extent of ground water contamination on site has not been determined, nor has the horizontal extent to the northwest of the plant been determined.” NET also recommends an aquifer-pumping test be done . Their last recommendation would be to perform a dye trace study which would provide information on ground water flow rates. Billy von Till, hydrogeologist and the Department of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) project manager for this case, said that his office sent a letter to Utility Manager Don Litten at Aileen saying that DEQ concurs with the recommendations made by NET, Aileen’s consultant. Sampling of stream surface water, done in April and again in May, show low levels of TCA, DCA and TCE, all below the MCL. At one site, PCE showed a level of 9.1 ppb, slightly above the MCL of 5. Mr. von Till of DEQ said the concentrations are so low that they would not even get as far as Hickman Run, the body of water the stream flows into.

Yom Kippur Classes Planned Havura Ktana has scheduled a series of three classes to be led by Rabbi Carla Theodore in preparation for the Yom Kippur service. The preparation classes, three hours each, will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 17; at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 21 and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 1. The Yom Kippur service will be held just before sundown on Oct. 3. This Kol Nidre service is for anyone familiar with the service or for anyone who attends the three preparatory classes. Rabbi Theodore asks for this preparation since this service, as with other Jewish services, is not a performance; not something people come to watch; but rather a coming together in which all share equally. In the Kol Nidre service, through ancient rituals, songs and prayers, some dating back to the first Temple built by King David, we acknowledge our many imperfections and commit ourselves to start again. Non Jews as well as Jews are welcome to take part. People who want to make a portion of this special service their own through the three introductory classes should call Rabbi Theodore for more details at 987-8813. ► Tavern From Page A-l from Main Street. And they plan to hire a cook. “A cook, not a chef,” Mr. Eldred said. “There is a difference.” They said they want to provide “good food, not gourmet dining.” They expect to sell lunches for about $6 and dinners for about $12. “It’s going to be sensibly priced so anyone can eat here, but it will not be a beer hall,” Mrs. Eldred said. They plan to have full menus for lunch and dinner as well as lighter fare. They seek to serve a varied market of both local people and tourists: older county singles uninspired by the idea of cooking for one, employees getting off from the earlier shifts at The Inn across the street, weekenders coming out on Fridays who now have to stop and eat in Warrenton because many restaurants in the county close at 8 p.m. They hope the tavern room will become a gathering place for local people and plan to have food available there after the kitchen is closed, light foods that can be served cold or heated up in a microwave oven. Mrs. Eldred said they put in * year of thought, planning and evaluation of the market before deciding to go ahead with the project. They have received a lot of encouragement, they say. Mr. Eldred will continue to rim the Washington House lighting business in the shop building next door while Mrs. Eldred runs the restaurant. “The location is perfect, and the demand is there,” Mr. Eldred said. “We’ll see what the public wants and try to provide it.” Mrs. Eldred said she hoped to have the business open by Christmas. The project will require extensive alterations to the interior of the building. Much of that is already underway. At next week’s meeting the Town Council will also be dealing with an application from The Inn at Little Washington to expand the kitchen with additional overnight guest rooms upstairs. '# .

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News CountrySide Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,1995 MacNelly's 'Mixed-up Media' Show To Open By SALLY WALKER Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer Jeff MacNelly’s act is pretty hard to follow, even for him. His cartoons have made people laugh, grin, and grimace for more than 25 years. He has been awarded three different Pulitzer Prizes for his political cartoons, and his comic strip “Shoe,” which is syndicated in more than 1,000 newspapers, has twice earned the National Cartoonist Society’s top honor, the Reuben Award. He illustrates Dave Barry’s column and does the comic strip “Pluggers.” So what can MacNelly possibly do to top himself? He’s doing what his dad called pretending to be drawing on the back of a grocery bag. Making art for the sheer pleasure of it. Drawing, sculpting, painting. As it turns out, MacNelly has also been creating a body of work for the combined pleasure of those who will attend the first showing of his fine art, “Mixed-up Media,” to be unveiled at an opening from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9 at the Middle St. Gallery in Washington. Turning away juicy uptown metro gallery offers, MacNelly opted to have his fine art coming-out party in his home town arena. As a “blue book” Middle St. Gallery member, he was technically eligible to make his debut there. For this first official preI J Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan MacNelly’s painting ‘Party Animal’ will be in the show. r sentation of his work, he is drawing an unusually large number of art lovers and collectors from throughout the United States to the small gallery. This much-awaited collection of drawings, paintings, and sculpture exhibits a common thread that MacNelly calls “American” and which ranges in subject and material from George Bush to bronze boots and barbed wire. .As far as describing his art, MacNelly says he’ll leave that up to others. “I don’t sit around trying to figure out why I’m making a horse or anything. I just do it until it’s done. “It’s like a joke,” he adds. “Explaining it isn’t going make it funny.” In his studio MacNelly stands next to a horse sculpture in progress, pulling a small segment of rusty wire like so much taffy through the barbed leg. He twists an end to form what horse aficionados would call the gaskin, then clips it clean with electrician’s pliers. “I was clearing the wire out of some fields,” he explains. “I just wound it up in hoops and left it in the garage. That was before I had any idea what I’d do with it.” The first thing he did with it was make a cowboy hat. Life size. And being that MacNelly himself is rather larger-than-life-size, the hat has weight, so to speak. More barbed wire sculptures emerged — a vulture, biplane war-decorated “Marshall Gulag,” and the horse, all of which will be on display at Middle St. Gallery. Photo by Hung Ba Pham Concert goers can meet painist Martin Berkofsky following the 3 p.m. concert. Friends To Host Reception The recently-formed Friends of the Theatre at Washington plans to open the new season at the Theatre at Washington with an innovation of its own. Following the piano recital by Martin Berkofsky on Sunday the Friends are inviting the audience to meet the internationally-known pianist at a reception. Born in the U.S. in 1943, of Russian ancestry, Berkofsky was a child prodigy who went on to win the National Music League Young Artists Competition. After living and performing abroad for many years he has now settled in the Piedmont area of Virginia. The post-concert reception will be held at the Middle Street Gallery, a short walk from the Theatre. An added attraction at the reception will be the Gallery’s new exhibition of drawings and sculpture by political cartoonist Jeff MacNelly, which opens on Saturday. Wine will be served, courtesy of Farfelu Vineyards, and light refreshments will be served courtesy of Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch of The Inn at Little Washington. The reception on Sept. 10 is the first in* a number of receptions which the Friends have in mind as part of their “Green Room” program. (The term “Green Room” in theatrical parlance refers literally to the artists’ room backstage — and it is there that invited members of the audience traditionally gather with cast members after a performance.) The Friends think of the Green Room as any nearby location where audience and artists may meet in a social setting. Edward Barton, who founded the Friends, along with other Rappahannock residents, Bill Young, Hallee Morgan, and Mary Ann Kuhn, says that the purpose of the Green Room program is to “welcome the artist to the community and to give the people in the community the opportunity to meet the artist.” The program also provides an informal setting for people interested in music and theatre to meet and discuss performances, he added. The theatre’s general manager, Wendy Weinberg, said she was delighted with the establishment of the Friends. “They provide another way to reach out into out community and welcome people in to the theatre,” she said. She added that she hopes others will join the group in helping to spread the word of the Theatre’s programs. The Friends see the Green Room as a part of their more general goal of finding new ways to bring to the attention of Rappahannock and other nearby Piedmont residents the opportunity which the theatre provides to hear fine performances of music, as well as occasional live drama. While the theatre draws its audiences from an unusually wide area, from Charlottesville and Washington, D.C. to Maryland and even Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the Friends point out that local residents can often hear right in the community some of the performers whom they would otherwise have to travel in to Washington, D.C. to enjoy (at much greater cost in both time and money.) Children and their parents are a special group of people whom the Friends hope to encourage in increasing numbers to try the theatre’s musical performances. Exposure to good music at an early age can lead to a life-time’s appreciation and pleasure, they say. Unlike many supporting organizations of similar name, the Friends of the Theatre is not a fund-raising organization. They see themselves as friends of the Piedmont community as fully as they are friends of the theatre. Their purpose is to extend the theatre’s already enthusiastic local audience to include more residents of the region. Friends of the Theatre welcome participation in their informal group by everyone who shares their interests. Those wishing to join or leave messages for the Friends may contact the group through the Theatre. Reservations are recommended for the Berkofsky recital. Phone the theatre at 675-1253. According to MacNelly, sculpting with wire "is like sketching or drawing with a big brush.” He says that “wonderful little things happen that made the pieces a bit more expressive.” MacNelly works in his studio atop a four-wheel-drive kind of Flint Hill hill. When he met and married his wife, Sue in Washington, D.C., he abandoned plans for a “He-Man Woman-Hater’s Club” in the country; and now they live in a relative anonymity in Flint Hill full time with several cats and Doofus the dog. Fax machines, computers, and Federal Express keep the world in touch with the MacNelly humor. The studio, like the house, was designed by MacNelly. It is light and airy, yet cozy and unpretentious. The aroma is pungent Key West Conchs cigar, brought from the Florida Keys, where the MacNellys spend part of the winter. A big picture frames a cushionsunk chair, clearly the artist’s musing and drawing port. Behind the chair is a black and white David Kennedy inscribed photo collection of well known faces — Castro, Brehznev, Agnew, Nixon, Gordon Liddy — as well as “The Five Tops,” five darksuited former presidents posing in a row — beaming presidents Carter, Bush and Reagan, faint-smiling Nixon, and grim Ford. The stuff that cartoons are made of. Wax studies for bronzes line corner shelving — cowboys, horses. A baseball player. An old car. A bust of Sue. Two real life Western saddles sit on an upstairs railing. Stacked paintings, three or four deep, line the walls, forming a' kind of wacky wainscoting. These are the unfinished ones. Magnificent to the observer, but found lacking by the artist. “My grandfather, who was a wonderful draftsman and architect, used to say that you only need two things to make a good drawing — a pencil, and a hammer to hit your hand with when you’re done. Sometimes I for get the hammer. 1 find it so hard to put the pencil down. Basically realist, MacNelly’s drawings are more meticulous in style than the barbed wire sculptures, yet never overworked (he must use his grandfather’s hammer, after all!). The pencils have such a fine looseness as to glow, and the ink drawings create a constant interplay of light and shadow. The stuff that great art is made of. Some of the world’s most beloved art has been created by MacNelly’s fellow cartoonists. His personal favorites are Daumier and Toulouse Lautrec. “Mixed-Up Media” is a rare opportunity to be a part of art history in the making, as MacNelly has vowed never again to have a first showing of his art. The show will remain at Middle St. Gallery through Sept. 24. The gallery is open to the public 1 1 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and for the duration of MacNelly’s show the gallery will also be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays. ■ i i inii — inn ii i in i Jeff MacNelly puts finishing touches on a barbed wire sculpture of a horse. J-U Muffin Man at Theatre Next “It was a mystery and it was funny — which made it even better,” is the way one third grader described the children’s play coming to The Theatre at Washington at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 17. “The Mystery of the Muffin Man” combines cliff-hanger storytelling with slapstick, juggling, music and nursery rhymes. Youngsters are invited to follow the bumbling adventures of Detective Sweettooth MacVittie as he tracks down the missing Muffin Man through the world of imagination and children’s literature. Ritchie Porter both devised and performs the show. He has taken it to London, England and Vermont, as well as to schools, theaters and community centers in the Washington, D.C. area during the last year. Mr. Porter has been active as a performer, writer, drama teacher and director for the past ten years. His theater credits include appearances at Arena Stage, The Shakespeare Theatre at the Folger, the National Theater, and the Kennedy Center’s Theater for Young People. In this performance at the Theatre at Washington he will be joined by his wife Wendy Lar ner, a musician and composer who is a founding member of the group WonderGround. Tickets for the performance are $2.50 for children and $5 for adults. The Theatre is located at Gay and Jett Streets in Washington. Reservations are recommended. Phone 675-1253. Shop Sponsors Children's Art Talk Of The Town, the Washington shop featuring fine gifts and accessories, is sponsoring a Post Card Art Contest for children in grades 3 through 7 who reside or attend school in Rappahannock County. The purpose of the contest is threefold: to raise money for the Rappahannock County Historical Society’s Computer Fund, to hone the youths’ awareness of the historical and natural beauty with which we are blessed, and to make available some youthful artistic expressions capturing the charm of Rappahannock County. All entries need to be accompanied by an application which is being distributed to the schools or may be picked up at Talk of the Town. The subject of the entries must be a building(s) or scene from Rappahannock County. Any medium of two dimensional art work on any surface will be accepted as long as the size fits the framed outline which is provided with the application. The art work will be displayed at Talk Of The Town from the preview opening at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 20 through Oct. 29. During that period the public will be invited to Cast ballots for their favorite works of art. If the artist permits, the renderings will be available for purchase, at a price he or she sets, with the proceeds being equally divided between the artists and the Rappahannock County Historical Society’s Computer Fund. The ten entries receiving the most votes will be reproduced as printed post cards at Talk Of The Town expense. Each of the ten winners will receive their choice of a $25 savings bond or a wooden case filled with art supplies (a $40 value). In addition, they will receive 25 post cards printed with their art work. All other participants will be awarded a complimentary pack containing one of each post card design. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, Oct. 31 in time to be featured in the Talk Of The Town’s store window on Halloween night. Once they are printed, the post cards will be available for purchase at Talk Of The Town.

Harvest the Nutritional Benefits Of Apples By HELEN W. SMITH Eitcuin Agent Heme Economics Most of us have heard the old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While this may refer to healthful eating in general as a preventative measure against certain illnesses, there is a lot to be said for the apple itself. Apples have much to boast nutritionally. For only 80 calories per medium apple, you get a good shot of vitamin C and potassium and only a trace of fact. Plus apples are a good source of fiber which aids digestion. Substitute Applesauce Using applesauce to lower the fat content of breads and cakes is a growing nutritional trend. Simply replace some or all of the oil, butter, or shortening in the recipe with an equal amount of applesauce. Apple For Cooking Apples are at their peak from now through November. Check for fruit that has good color and smooth skin without bruises. The variety of apples depends on how you plan to use them. Any type is fine for eating out of hand, but for cooking or baking, try one of these: Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Rome Beauty, York Imperial, Granny Smith, Stayman, or Winesap. Apple Guide If you need to locate local orchards for buying or pick-your-own apples, call the Rappahannock Extension Office at 675-3619 for a copy of the Fruit Guide listing the orchards in Rappahannock County. We also have some consumer brochures from the Virginia Apple Commission that describe varieties and cooking tips. Apple Cookbook The Extension Homemakers have copies of their apple cookbook “Apples...Rappahannock Style” for sale at $3. Proceeds benefit the community service projects and their scholarship to a graduating senior each June. Copies are available at the Extension Office and several local orchards.

Rappahannock Sons Remembered By MARY S. PRIEST Rippafcuilock Newi Contributing Writer On June 3, 1995, a memorial service was held at the Confederate mound in Fairview Cemetery in Culpeper by United Daughters of the Confederacy. Mr. Claude Guinn spoke on “Honoring the Patriots.” During The War Between the States many soldiers died in Culpeper as a result of injury or disease. Most of the men buried under the Confederate mound died at the Culpeper General Hospital which was located on the hill on what is now Blue Ridge Avenue near the Madison road. Their graves were marked with wood headboards. In 1866 the ladies of Culpeper made a list of these men, as best they could, as some names were not legible. This list was published in the Culpeper Observer on 27 May 1866 and reprinted in the Culpeper Exponent on 26 March 1921. In 1880 the Town of Culpeper annexed 69 acres just west of the north end of town, part of which became the “Citizens Cemetery.” Later it was named “Fairview” and the bodies or remains were moved to this location. The Confederate monument was dedicated on July 21, 1881. More than 5,000 people attended the dedication ceremonies. Of the 568 men buried under the mound, 525 were known Confederate soldiers, 39 were though to have been Confederate and four are Yankee soldiers. There are 129 soldiers buried here from Georgia, 114 from South Caroline, 97 from Virginia. The list continues with the number for other states. There were 354 who died of disease and only 80 died of gunshot wounds. Attended the memorial services were Virginia and Nelson Deal from Culpeper. Nelson Deal’s great uncle is one of the two Rappahannock soldiers who are buried under this mound. Stephen C. Dodson was a private in the 49th Infantry, Co. K. He was a native of Rappahannock County. He entered the service at Culpeper Court House on July 18, 1861. This company was also known as the Sperryville Sharpshooters. In “History of the Forty-Ninth Virginia Infantry C.S.A.” by Hale and Phillips, they state Stephen C. Dodson died in Hospital in Culpeper, Aug. 18, 1861 from measles. The Deals stated they had visited his grave many times with family. Stephen C.Dodson served about one month. The other Rappahannock soldier was Joshua W. Burke who was 20 when he died at the hospital. Following the memorial service, a luncheon was held at the Holiday Inn in Culpeper. During the awards ceremony, Mr. Charles Robert Priest was awarded the Cross of Military Service. Mr. Priest was a Pharmacist Mate in the U.S. Navy during World War II serving in the Pacific. Mr. Priest is a line descendant of Mason Priest (his grandfather) who served in the Confederacy as a private in Company G., 12 Reg’t Virginia Cavalry, (The Laurel Brigade). Mr. Priest has been a lifelong resident of Amissville except for his World War II service time. The Cross of Military Service is the highest award given to a veteran by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The Circus Is Coming To Luray Circus Day, a tradition for over two hundred years in the communities of America, is being kept alive in some two hundred towns on the eastern seaboard each year, when Roberts Brothers. Three Ring Circus, Under the Big Top, makes its annual town from Florida to Maine. Performances of thrilling aerialists, daredevil acrobats, beautiful equilibrists, trained animals and rib-tickling clowns creating awe, wonderment, and laughter among both the youngest and the oldest members of the audience. The Circus is something continuing in the entertainment world that a whole family can still enjoy together. " Roberts Brothers Circus will come to Luray on Tuesday, Sept. 19 to set up at the Page County Fairgrounds on Collins Avenue under the sponsorship of the Page County Agricultural and Industrial Fair Association. Circus Day is not just for kids. It is a special day for grandpas, too. Grandpas like to take grandchildren to the circus. And, they want the circus to be like Roberts Brothers, which puts theirs on steeped in tradition and under a real circus tent. They get there early, so they can get a good seat, and look around in anticipation. Way up high they can see the trapezes, ropes, and strange devices hanging up there, and they wonder what marvelous manipulations are about to take place during the hour and a half of enchantment. Less than thirty years ago there were over 100 circuses under canvas, touring America. Now, there are less than twenty. Many former circuses have fallen into the pitfalls which have closed many small businesses of every type throughout the country. Through the capable management of brothers Robert and Jeffery Earl, and their mother, Doris Earl, Roberts Brothers Circus not only survives, but is able this season, to produce an entirely new production, sharing a substantial amount of its profits with the organization which sponsor it in each community, thereby making it possible for these organizations to save for the communities many local programs which otherwise would be lost, as federal, state and local funds dry up. The circus arrives in town early in the morning on show day. By lunch time, everything is up. It is time for the employees and staff to run to town for shopping, to purchase fuel, do laundry, take care of vehicle repairs, of if you’re lucky, to take a siesta until the first performance of the day. After the performances, everything is packed up. The show leaves for the next town at first light the next morning. One of the most astounding things to watch at a circus like Roberts Brothers, is the versatility of the performers. They all perform in several numbers in the program. The fun of it is, that with an intimate audience like this one, you can see everything in all three rings, and leave with the feeling that you know everyone who has been entertaining you. There is a family feeling about dealing with Roberts Brothers Circus, which is felt not only among the performers and staff, but by the members of the sponsoring organizations. About 90 percent of the towns the circus visits are return engagements. Sponsors thing of this circus as “their circus” and it is invited back on a regular basis. Purchase of tickets from the sponsoring organization before circus day, helps them the most, as they make more on their advance sales.

Color Adds Impact To Most Landscapes /By DR. DIANE RELF Kappakannotk New, Contributing Writer Color is the most conspicuous element of the landscape. The average person hardly notices how an outdoor space functions, but is usually overwhelmed by color in the landscape, “eople are moved by a landscape’s richness in blossoming plants, and by the subtle color of plant foliage. When considering color in the landscape, one frequently thinks first ot flowers; however, foliage, fruit, or other plant parts are equally valuable for color. The following are some ideas to aid gardeners in choosing and using color in landscape designs. They are merely suggestions, not rules, because if there is one rule in design that always remains true, it is that rules were made to be broken. Consider Color of All Landscape Materials It is quite easy to be overwhelmed by the palette of colors available in both plant materials and construction materials. But remember, color is only one aspect to be considered, and it should not be the over-riding consideration. When deciding on colors to be used in a design, proceed with caution. Color adds visual excitement in the landscape, but if used improperly, it can create chaos. The colors of other landscape materials must be included. Walls, steps, fences, walkways, and even mulches deserve consideration in the overall color scheme. Just as it is imperative to take existing walkways, vegetation, and other site factors into consideration, the colors on a site must also be considered.. Try to pick materials in colors that Will harmonize with, but not be among, construction materials. For example, red, magenta, or salmon flowers may be overpowered by a clash with a red brick house. The value of green should not be overlooked. First, it acts as a background to all outdoor colors. Second, it can be a stabilizing factor. Green can be used to tie a design together even when many different hues are visible. Various Shades of Green Can Emphasize Texture and Forms Using green as the only hue in a design has merit. Many exquisite gardens have been designed with the only color interest being the various shades of green. This treatment tends to emphasize the textures and forms of materials. While color experts may not agree on which colors produce which emotional responses, they agree that colors do affect emotions. It is often stated that pink has a calming effect and red causes excitement. Blue is supposed to be calming because it reminds people of water. Green is refreshing because it brings thoughts of nature. A space designed for quiet reflection would not likely have bright colors or a wide mix of hues. A restful atmosphere is created by using many shades of one or two hues. On the other hand, a space intended for active entertaining might sport a variety of bright tones. Remember to provide some visual interest in the landscape all through the year. Spring, summer, and fall each provide a great deal of visual interest due to the distinctive colors produced by flowers and leaves. The season that produces the least amount of visual interest in terms of color is winter. Most attempts to provide color during winter involve using evergreens. Use Plants that Become Visible in Winter To provide relief from the dreariness of winter, one idea is to accentuate those qualities of plants that are more visible because of their bareness. Plants with green and red twigs, trees with colorful exfoliating bark, fruits that stay on the branches through winter or plants with latewinter or very early spring blooms all brighten the winter landscape. A source of spring, summer, and fall color undergoing a revival in landscape design is perennials. The ease of maintenance, that fact that perennials return year after year, and the tremendous array of colors throughout the growing season make perennials the choice of many homeowners and landscapers. Many perennials also provide much-longed-for color in winter and provide an array of golden browns, rusts and yellows. Color is but one element among many to be considered creating balanced, harmonious and functional landscapes. Use color in a disciplined and controlled fashion to strength, rather than disrupt, the general form and pattern of garden and street.
