Enrollment Hike Ups State Aid Projects Get Go Ahead By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer With school enrollment at the end of 10 days at 1,047, School Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board Tuesday night to expect about $51,000 in additional state aid. This is the highest 10-day enrollment in the past six years. In 1992 it was 1,030. Last year it was 1,003. During others of the past years it was below 1.000. However, most of the additional state aid will be needed to employ an additional elementary school special education teacher. Helen Williams, the administrator with primary responsibility for special education, said the administration decided they would need another teacher before they received news of increased state aid, simply on the basis of students expected to enroll. She said elementary school administrators checked with parents during the week before school started and decided the need would be there. These teachers can only teach eight students without an aide and 10 with one. Forty students were expected for four teachers and two aides. The position is being filled on a temporary basis until a permanent teacher can be found, Mrs. Williams reported. There are currently 657 students at the elementary school and 390 at the high school. The largest class is third grade with 99 students, but eighth grade is close behind with 98. Dr. Gangel reported that work is nearing completion on the upgrade of the sewage lagoon at the elementary school. Some parts of the project may be held up waiting for more liquid in the lagoon. Rain would help ease this situation, he said. With that work on schedule, Dr. Gangel estimated that $88,700 will be left over from the state bonds for the elementary school addition. The board approved his request to go ahead with requests for proposals for hard surfacing the high school track, lighting the high school parking lot and design plans for work on the earth science lab. Hampton District representative See Schools, Page A-7 Jury Assigns Jail Sentence for Firearms Convictions By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer A jury in Rappahannock County Circuit Court last Thursday found Carl James Snyder, Jr. guilty of unlawfully discharging a firearm within an occupied building and brandishing a firearm. They set his sentence for the felony (discharging a firearm) at nine months in jail, and four months in jail plus a $500 fine for the misdemeanor (brandishing a firearm). They could have given him up to five years in the Department of Corrections on the felony alone. A new law which took effect on July 1 was utilized in this trial. Because Mr. Snyder was charged with a misdemeanor and a felony, and they found him guilty of both, the jury was directed to decide on sentencing for the misdemeanor charge First and then to the return to the courtroom. At that point, before deciding sentencing on the felony, they were given information regarding Mr. Snyder’s prior criminal record (he had been convicted of possession of marijuana). Mr. Snyder’s attorney, Mark Williams, argued that his client had been convicted of drunk driving and possession of marijuana and that showed that he was not a violent person. Mr. Snyder, whose nickname is Stormy, was indicted in July for the offenses which happened in June, and he has been incarcerated in the county jail since June. When he next stands before Judge W. Shore Robertson on November 13, Judge Robertson will give his decision on whether he will uphold the jury's decision regarding the sentencing. Judge Robertson can lessen his sentence, but cannot make it any longer than the jury decided. Last June 9, Mr. Snyder shared a house with Susan Baldwin, her daughter Susan Virginia Jenkins, and her two grandchildren on property on Route 231. According to Ms. Baldwin’s testimony, she, her daughter, Mr. Snyder, and a friend, Bob West, were drinking beers on the porch. She said that everything was fine when Mr. Snyder just “went off.” She said he went into the house and started throwing stuff around. “He called me names. He was very vulgar and in a rage.” Ms. Baldwin also said that Mr. Snyder went into the bedroom and kept calling for her to come in the house. “As I came in the house he was squatted down with the rifle pointed at me like he was going to blow my head off,” she said, obviously shaken by recounting the incident. “He had teardrops in his eyes and was staring right at me,” she added. She said See Court, Page A-8 Old Rag Bulletins Rep's Rep to Visit Karen Bowling Foster, from Congressman Wolfs office will visit Rappahannock County from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 20 at the Rappahannock County Extension Office in Washington.

Bison Sale Scheduled Indian 'Powwow' Leads Other Events The Shade Ranch outside Washington will be the site of a major event featuring bison (the American buffalo) this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Harold Thrower of The Shade is planning a three-day sale with a wide variety of compatible events including an American Indian “Powwow,” bus tours of historic Washington, and a feast of bison burgers and steaks. Mr. Thrower said he expects to have more than 100 bison for sale. They will be coming from several ranches throughout the eastern United States. The event is intended to promote the reintroduction of bison to the United States and the use of bison meat as a healthier substitute for beef, he said. There will be literature and movies to educate the public about the past and future role of bison in America. “It is our hope that the American Indian Powwow will create an awareness and respect for the bison, it’s rebirth and its cultural relationship to Native people,” he said. Fifteen to 20 Cherokee Indians from North Carolina will be coming to perform dances in full native costume, he added. There will also be an arts and crafts display, archery contests and a petting zoo for children featuring llamas, goats and calves. Mr. Thrower is president and chief executive officer of BisonEAST, an organization formed to “create an information network for bison owners, ranchers and enthusiasts” and to provide support for the repopulation of the bison, especially in the eastern United States. Two centuries ago there were more than 50 million bison on the land that became the United See Bison, Page A-8 Photo courtesy of Harold Thrower This bison bull and cows graze in a northern Pennsylvania field. Town Streets To Be Repaved Resurfacing of most streets in the Town of Washington is tentatively scheduled to begin in late September. Paving crews will resurface Route 211 Business from the east exit off the U.S. 211 bypass along Middle Street to Main Street and along Main Street to Porter Street. Main Street will also be resurfaced from Middle Street to Wheeler Street. Also on the schedule for resurfacing are Porter Street, Mount Salem Avenue, the. Harris Hollow Road to the town limits, Piedmont Avenue to the end of the hardtop, Jett, Wheeler and Calvert streets. “We will be paving all of the streets in Washington except for those under which water lines must be installed,” explained Ron Marshall, Virginia Department of Transportation's superintendent at the Washington Area Headquarters. “There will be some inconvenience,” Mr. Marshall continued, “because there will be no parking on Gay Street when the street surface is prepared for resurfacing and while the resurfacing is being done.” However, he added, “We are working with the contractor to do the cleaning and resurfacing on either a Monday or a Friday, one of the days that court is not in session in the Rappahannock County courthouse. Signs reading “No Parking” and having no dates on them will be erected. When the date of cleaning and later for the resurfacing work is known, the dates will be applied to the signs. “Parking is very limited in the town,” Mr. Marshall acknowledged, “and we’re trying hard to cause as little inconvenience as possible for motorists.” Antique/Gift Shops Barred From Agricultural Zones By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Another narrow vote banned antique/gift shops in agricultural zones when the Board of Supervisors took up amendments to the Zoning Ordinance last Wednesday night. The supervisors voted 3 to 2 for the ban after considerable discussion. Previously antique/gift shops were allowed in agricultural zones with a special use permit. The board unanimously approved ’ other changes to the Zoning Ordinance including bans-on museums and auction houses in agricultural zones and additional standards for conference centers and swimming/tennis facilities, public or private clubs. The Planning Commission had tabled consideration of additional standards for conference facilities and swimming/tennis clubs wanting to give the matter further consideration, but the supervisors decided there was no harm in adopting the additional standards in the meantime. The supervisors delayed acting on a ban of post offices in agricultural zones, planning to readvertise with an amendment that would ban post See Zoning , Page A-8

Assault Charges Brought By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Two men were charged with curse and abuse this past week. Last Friday, William Harold James, Jr., 32, of Huntly, was issued a warrant for curse and abuse after a complaint was filed by Edward Wince and his mother Vergie Wince, of Route 663 in Huntly. Daniel Parker Mason, 34, of Sperryville also was issued a warrant, after a complaint was filed by Andrew Cooper of Alexandria. The incident occurred on Route 614 in Sperryville last Sunday. On September 4, Sherry Gilkey of Route 666 in Chester Gap reported to the Sheriffs Office that someone had been going into her house during the day. The house was locked, but someone had entered through a window. The Sheriffs Office has a suspect in the case. Ricky Menefee, 22, and Polly Wood, 20, both of Sperryville, were arrested for trespassing last Friday. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, Cleveland Menefee, 4 Ricky Menefee’s grandfather, asked ^ourt Docket him and Ms. Wood to move out of his house. When they did not, he filed a complaint and had then arrested for trespassing. Last Friday, Matthew Wade Pearson, 24, of Flint Hill, fell asleep at the wheel of a 1994 Ford pickup while travelling east on Route 637 in Flint Hill. His truck ran off the left side of the road and struck a fence belonging to Mr. Alfred Kummli. Mr. Pearson received no injuries, but his truck was damaged in the amount of $5,000, and the fence had $400 worth of damage. Virginia State Trooper Mike Woodard charged Mr. Pearson with reckless driving. On another section of Route 637, .8 mile north of Route 645 in Amissville, Joseph Ernest Rose, 22, of Warrenton, had an accident with his 1980 Datsun pickup. According to Sgt. Newlin of the State Police, Mr. Rose’s vehicle ran off the left side of the road, Mr. Rose lost control of the vehicle, and the truck skidded back across the road, struck an embankment and overturned. No injuries were reported in the accident. The truck sustained S4.000 damage, and Mr. Rose was charged with reckless driving by Trooper Sean Knick.

The meeting the week before with epresentatives of Bell Atlantic, sprint/Centel, and the State Corporation Commission did not esoive anything, he said. However, with a system like :aller ID and the computer data base, he dispatch center can check out the ocation of calls coming from 987 exchanges, Mr. McCarthy explained. He said if the county provides the Culpeper dispatch center with a similar system so Culpeper County dispatchers can check their data base for incoming calls, Bell Atlantic may be willing to turn Rappahannock customers with Culpeper numbers on. However, the company still insists that 95 percent of the patrons must approve, Mr. McCarthy said. So the county will bear the expense of sending out cards to all Bell Atlantic customers asking them to send them to Bell Atlantic giving their E-911 addresses. Of the Bell Atlantic and SCC representatives, Mr. McCarthy said, “They were immune to reason from our point of view.” The board approved a resolution to have VDOT take Blue Ridge Avenue in Chester Gap taken into the state’s secondary road system. The road was always intended to be a state road, but it was built as a private subdivision road. Several years worth of funds for “rural additions” have been committed to the project. There has always been a 50-foot right-of-way, but it was necessary for landowners to sign off on additional drainage easements. Tony Dade, who worked hard in getting the easements, was there for the vote. The supervisors have approved other rural additions, and as funds become available and easements are sucured, they will gradually be added also. Mr. McCarthy reported that one more inspection is needed before the county can begin using the new cell at the landfill. The county has been able to continue using the old cell, but Mr. McCarthy said he expected th| state to require that some of the trash piled there be moved to the new cell. The ramp for the scales if being constructed, he reported. The county will begin enforcing a $43 per ton tipping fee for commercial haulers and will transfer a like amount from the general fund to an enterprise fund to pay off the bonds for construction of the new cell for each ton moved from the dumpsters. The board approved turning over the old vehicle used by the building inspector to the Water and Sewer Authority for the use of the Sperryville sewer plant operator for trips from Sperryville to the schools and to the Town of Washington.

He said he got a cellular phone for use in an emergency, and when an emergency comes he cannot use it. He said he would be willing to have it put on his land, which is near Scrabble. He said that during the June floods Madison County residents made 1,500 calls using cellular phones because they had no normal phone service. The board agreed to having Mr. McCarthy write to Rep. Wolf and ask that the county retain control over the location of such towers. There are new designs for towers besides the traditional three-sided one. Some towers are single poles, and some are intended to resemble pine trees, but they are made of metal and are 250 feet tall. The board approved appointing Dean Hahn to the Criminal Justice Board but took no action on replacing Donna Kevis on the Recreational Facilities Board or Doug Baumgardner on the PD9 board. Both have resigned. The board approved a bid for painting the courthouse. Because the item was an addition to the published agenda it needed a unanimous vote. At first Hampton District representative Photo courtesy of VDOT Joel Zelinsky of Dogwood Signs Co. of Locust Dale mounts street signs. Mike Massie voted “no” because he said the courtroom did not need paint, but when he realized the county would not be able to accept a bid without his vote, he changed it to “aye.” County Emergency Log The following fire and rescue calls were routed through the dispatch center during the past week: Sept. 4: 2:17 a.m., seizures, Route 631, Flint Hill, Chester Gap VFD and Amissville VFD; 5:44 a.m., injury from a fall, U.S. 522, Woodville, Sperryville VRS and Washington VFD; 8:23 a.m., possible DOA, U.S. 211, Amissville, Amissville VFD; 6:53 p.m., field fire, U.S. 522, Sperryville, Sperryville VRS and Sperryville VRS.

Flood Cleanup Is 'A Disappointment' Z SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwj Staff Writer m not a surprise, but it is a disappointment,” County Administrator £?|hn McCarthy said describing his Sustration with work being contract5f by the Natural Resources Conservation Service to clean up Slbris in the Rush and upper Jordan HVers following the June flood, w Originally 20 projects were approved for work by NRCS to be £id for with a 75/25 split between ieral and county funds. Three have Seen completed and another nine will be undertaken, but some have been Scaled back. 1° some cases landowners frustrated with the delay have done some Sf the work themselves and the NRCS "has said the rest is not worth doing, Air. McCarthy told the Board of iSupervisors at their meeting last ^Wednesday. «a He said he was also disappointed that local contractors had not been able to do any of the work, but the documents of bid specifications were extremely detailed and “scared away or irritated people.” He said working hard to get landowner approval to do the projects and then having them eliminated or scaled back “puts us in an embarrassing position.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie thanked Mr. McCarthy for his work on trying to get the work done. “We were willing to assist the Feds. I don’t think they’ve been very responsive to us,” Mr. McCarthy added. In a car tour up Harris Hollow Monday morning, Mr. McCarthy showed where work clearing the river bed that had been completed near the Washington well house and water treatment plant. He said “pixies” had done the work, apparently unwilling to wait for action from the federal government. At the entrance to the old ski lodge work had been done under a NRCS contract. Rock had been cleared out that had blocked the A NRCS contractor did the work at the entrance to the old ski lodge including ‘seeding the rocks.’ Rappahannock News StaffPhotos by Sharon Kilpatrick ‘Pixies’ cleaned up this section of stream bank near Washington’s well house and water treatment plant. bridge causing the flood to wash out the bridge approach. “This is an example of seeding rock,” Mr. McCarthy said of an area between the road and the Rush River still covered with rock, but also covered with grass seed and a mulch of straw. The seeding and mulch were required by the NRCS specifications for the project. In another area back from the road where it was hardly visible, was a dam made up of rock, mud, branches and everything else including a child’s tricycle. It was 30 feet long and 10 feet tall. Mr. McCarthy explained that would have been extremely dangerous in another flood, and the Forestry Service removed it. He said the Forestry service had been very helpful. Most of the rock had piled up in the Rush River near areas where the river had jumped its banks and made another channel. Mr. McCarthy speculated that when that happened the force was reduced and the river dropped the rock it had been carrying. VDOT work continues on Route 625 where all the culverts have been replaced, some new ones have been installed and the road is beirig rebuilt higher than it was before. At another place along Harris Hollow the top concrete deck of a low water bridge can be seen where it washed down the river. The deck will be replaced, Mr. McCarthy said. He said the work being contracted out by the NRCS is being done under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program, and that only allows projects to eliminate imminent hazards to life or property. He said if the river bed had been raised over the past 30 years by other, less severe floods three feet, and the most recent floods raised it another two feet, the projects can only remove the last two feet even if that makes future floods more likely than they would be if five feet were removed. Part of the problem is that officials from NRCS do not really know what is from the last flood and what is from earlier ones, he said.

Every time there is a natural disaster, the victime report frustration with the timeliness, extent and sanity of federal assistance. Now it is Rappahannock’s turn. The Natural Resources Conservation Service is empowered to assist the county in restoring the Rush and upper Jordan rivers to pre-flood conditions. A great deal of effort went into compiling a list of 20 projects that would be put out to bid. The county sought and received permission from landowners for the work. County officials worked with the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection to make sure none of the projects would be detrimental to the rivers. The county hoped this might also provide employment for local contractors. Mostly people in Harris Hollow hoped for relief from conditions that make further flooding more likely. The process has been slow. During a review by some employees of the NRCS other NRCS employees were overruled, and some of the projects were scaled back. Other projects were eliminated because exasperated landowners quit waiting and did some of the work themselves. The rest was then ruled unnecessary. More than two months after the flood three projects have been completed. Bids have been accepted for another eight. The complexity and extreme detail of the specifications for the projects receiving federal funds scared off all local bidders. In the primary example of federal idiocy grass seed was scattered over rounded river rocks and carefully mulched. And the residents of Harris Hollow wonder why they ever expected a reasonable level of assistance from the federal government. Meanwhile frustration with the federal governemtn does not extend to all state agencies. The state’s Forestry Service provided prompt, courteous assistance. A major flood-created dam of rock, dirt, branches and household goods was removed. In several other areas the Forrestry Service gave timely assistance. The federal government does not bear primary responsibility for delays in rebuilding a house for the Fletcher family. The first site selected did not perk. Then two other sites were tested and passed. Eventually Mrs. Fletcher will acquire nearby property owned by the Nature Conservancy in a boundary adjustment. Then the county will see how well the proposed partnership between federal and state agencies combined with volunteer fundraising and labor works to get the family a new home with minimal debt. Virginia residents have been generous in responding to the disaster. Fundraising by the Piedmont United Way, the American Red Cross and the governor’s Hands Across Virginia campaign has been overwhelmingly successful. We hope this leads to real help for a family that truly deserves it. ZhcS YWBCrfhaggis Wgj: * "I think a little Miracle-Gro tfouldVe helped!" ^ < or maybe just a miracle .. > Who Are Extremists? To the Editor: A story in the Sept. 6 News discusses a Congressional proposal that would take away from localities the right to accept, reject or control the location of cellular telephone towers. This legislation is the work of a Republican-led Congress that, while claiming to turn government back to the people, really wants to turn affairs over to business interests that will cut citizens out of decisions that affect their lives every day. For so long we have been protected from some of the rapacity of business by rules, regulations and laws giving citizens some say in what happens in their communities that we have forgotten where these laws came from and why they were called for. Ask Jay Katzen what he thinks about H.R. 1555 and S. 652 and what he would try to do about he harmful effects of some of its provisions. Ask Sue Scheer. You know what her answer would be — “Empower citizens, not big business.” You may want to write to Rep. Thomas Bliley (R-7th Dist.) House Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20515, and send a copy to Rep. Frank Wolf at the same address, urging Bliley to work to eliminate the Federal Communications Commission’s preemptive power over local zoning authority with respect to the placement, construction, operation or modification of cellular towers. Democrats are far more pro-business than they are pro-government. They look for balance — for a civil society that helps people help themselves, and when that isn’t possible, to empower governmental agencies — at all levels of government — to restrain individuals and groups from taking advantage of the majority. One way Republicans try to misrepresent Democrats is to make generalized, undocumented claims for outrageous beliefs they say Democrats hold. Is it “environmental extremists and elitists” who are concerned about water contamination at the site of the former Aileen plant? Or is it reasonable environmentalists who know that the damage to the earth there — both “horizontally and vertically” — can make water unsafe and that something has to be done about it? I would like to know how one tells an environmental extremist from a reasonable environmentalist. Some concrete examples would be helpful. We need to respect one another’s differences of opinion and learn to discuss the pertinent facts that may be at the bottom of what makes political discussion necessary and enlightening. No one has the truth for long. If political dialogue isn’t friendly, it tends to be poisonous, like the beautiful amanita mushrooms pictured about the letters to the editor in the Sept. 6 issue. We must not let poison contaminate the wells of our political lives. We teach our children not to call each other names. Adults should leam not to do that too. Who would be surprised to leam that there may be another solution to the sheriffs office dispatch problems available now or tomorrow that doesn’t involve a 250 foot tower? DIANA BIRD Washington Cemetery Flowers To the Editor: This is directed to those who removed flowers from graves in the Washington Masonic Cemetery. How dare you? What makes you think you can clear the cemetery of all flowers, including headstone “saddles” and flowers well anchored in attached vases? Why would you think you can destroy other people’s property by tearing it apart, taking out flowers and leaving barren containers? 1 hope you never feel the pain that I experienced when I saw that the carefully chosen and wellsecured artificial flowers I had placed at the graves of my family members were gone. I would like an explanation. Please don’t tell me that only real flowers are allowed after Oct. 1. I planted real flowers, and they were thoughtlessly mowed down. And just whose rule is it anyway that all flowers will be removed in three days, and does that mean real as well as “artificial” (real looking silk) flowers? If by chance you had the mistaken idea that such a cleaning of the cemetery would be a community service, please direct your good intentions somewhere else. I would suggest offering to help an elderly person clean and repair a home. Give someone aid and comfort, and Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan A stream meanders in Castleton on Route 615 showing no flood damage. let the residents of the cemetery rest in respected peace. BECKY BURKE Washington (Editor’s Note: Gibson Wharton, who is responsible for maintaining the Masonic Cemetery said he has been ill and unable to attend personally to its upkeep. Others removed the flowers and in some cases did not follow established policies. Arrangements of flowers are to be removed during the growing and mowing season, except that those which are attached to the headstones and groundstones where they are not in the way of mowing may remain. Additional plantings are not allowed. Real and artificial flowers should be removed when thev become unsightly ■) of what our Creator has given us. I also believe in people having jobs to support their families. I was born and raised in Rappahannock, finished high school there, left the county because there were no jobs, and sadly still there are not jobs for the youngsters. The Disney Park would have provided jobs for many folks in the surrounding areas. Some folks say they would have been low-paying jobs; well, let’s face it, not everyone is going to get high-paying jobs. Low-paying jobs are better than no jobs. Of course many of these folks who are fighting any type jobs coming into the county and surrounding I areas probably are folks who don’t have to worry about paying their bills._ I firmly believe and enjoy American history, but in this age we live in now, we can no longer think we can live in an antique, ghost town or county. There has to be a commofisense balance somewhere in this controversy between the environment and jobs. May God help us. GEORGE E. FOSTER, JR. Front Royal Support Makela To the Editor: Ron Makela is running for the School Board seat from Jackson District because he believes in public school education. His son is in his second year at RCES and will continue there. Mr. Makela believes that more emphasis must be placed on basic skills. All Seniors must leave our schools with the competence to balance a checkbook, prepare a resume and so forth. Technical education and college preparatory programs should be strengthened. Many current School Board members already know Ron Makela and know of his concern for the children of our county. For over a year he has attended School Board meetings and understands many of the critical issues, especially the school budget process. Ron’s no-nonsense approach to fiscal responsibility will serve the residents of Jackson District well. KATHRYN TREANOR Amissville Disney Was Needed To the Editor: I read with interest the letters to the editor concerning the support for Ms. Scheer.

Cross Country Teams Strong By BOB HOWARD Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School Cross Country Coach Dave van de Graaff could not help but be pleased with his teams following a successful trip to Culpeper last Tuesday. The Panthers’ Boys’ team beat both Madison and Culpeper to \yin „ the three team meet. The Panthers’ Girls’ team finished second with points behind Culpeper, but defeated Madison soundly. “Both teams are young,” Coach vanlde Graaff said, “but we’re very talented. We ran very well [at Culpeper] and 1 expect improve over the course of the season.” Senior Captain, Mark Jenkins was the over all winner. He finished the M course in 18:54. Coach van de Graaff has nothing but praise for his best runner “Mark is a very strong runner. He dedicated himself and improved a lot since last year.” Six other Rappahannock boys finished in the top twenty runners. Eddie Sause was fifth over all with a time of 20:32. Chris Sause, seventh overall, was just behind his older brother at 20:38. RJ White crossed the line in eleventh place at 21:01. Jennings Hobson (21:50), Matt Wolfe (21:50), and Niles Watson (21:53) came in fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth respectively. “We have four outstanding girls who make us tough,” Coach van de Graaff said. “Teams that go five deep will give us some problems though. I’m hoping that one of our younger inexperienced runners can step it up.” Holly Gangel was the first Rappahannock girl to finish (third overall) in 24:03. Jessica Ghenn finished fifth overall in 25:13. French exchange student, Myriam Lathuile was sixth in 25:52. Caroline Baumgartner came in seventh in 26:22. Emily Simms (31:22) and Megan Fairbrother (31:42) also finished in the top twenty. This Saturday, the Cross Country team will travel to Woodbury Forest for the Woodbury invitational. Coach van de Graaff said he is looking forward to showing off his home course and the site of the District Tournament for the first time this season on September 27. Basketball Teams Struggle By BOB HOWARD . « Rappahannock News Staff Writer • With only ten players on her team, Rappahannock County Varsity Basketball Coach, Laura Conklin knew coming into the season that her team could not afford any injuries. Less than a minute into the Panthers first home game of the year, starting guard Larisa Roberts went out with a knee contusion. Later that same game, starting forward and tricaptain, Sarah Gentry suffered a knee injury. Neither Roberts nor Gentry played on Monday at Luray or Tuesday at Brentsville. Both are day ■m w mm — Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Sonya Roberts and Alice Gentry worked hard in the loss to Manassas Park Thursday.

Although the injuries have hurt the Panthers, lack of experience is the reason that Rappahannock is 0-4 after four games. Rappahannock fell 66-24 at Central on September 5, lost a heartbreaker 39-38 to Manassas Park at home on Thursday, September 7, was beaten at Luray 61-21 on Monday night, and lost at Brentsville 45-33 on Tuesday. At Central, Brenda Swinkels, an exchange student from Holland, scored the first Panther basket of the season, and eight Panthers netted at least two points. Against Manassas Park, the Panthers found themselves down by a 24-17 score at the half. Some hustle plays by Tamika Washington and Jennifer Woodard at the end of the third quarter helped trim the Manassas Park lead to 32-27. Rappahannock went on a 11-3 run to start the fourth quarter. Panther forwards Dawn Havstead and Sarah Gentry got big baskets to give Rappahannock its first lead since the first quarter and when Cari Kerr fed a cutting Angie Atkins for a lay up, the Panthers took a 38-35 lead with four minutes to go in the game. Manassas Park got two quick hoops to regain the lead with two minutes left, and used the four comers stall offense successfully down the stretch. Kylene Wolfe led all Rappahannock scorers with nine points. At Luray, the Panthers were led by Cari Kerr with seven points. Dawn Havstead and Kylene Wolfe added six points each. Against Brentsville, Rappahannock managed only five points in the first half but played some of their best basketball of the season in the second half. Tamika Washington (11 points), Cari Kerr (10 points) and Dawn Havstead (8 points) led the way for Rappahannock. At the Junior Varsity level, progress continues. The JV team was demolished by Central 71-5, but has played very well since then. The Panthers led for most of the game but lost to Manassas Park 19-17. They played Luray tight, but fell 37-32, and they lost to a more experienced Brentsville team 39-21. Coach Emily Wingate has been pleased with how her team is coming along. “We’re young and inexperienced, but we’ve got some quality leaders in Tiffany Keys, Mandolin Ashby and Sonya Wiggington. Also we’re getting better at the fundamentals and starting to play together.” Sonya has been tremendously impressive, and Coach Wingate attributes some of Sonya’s success to playing against boys at recess while at RCES. Sonya and Alice Gentry are leading the team in scoring, averaging five points per game. Don't Miss The* Boat!

Panther Pause By Becky CAllEqos RCHS Begins New Year Yet another school year is under way at Rappahannock County High School. We begin the year with many changes ranging from new administration and teachers to new ideas and policies. Students have the opportunity this year to involve themselves in a very diverse curriculum due to the new class offerings. Everyone has heard of the new administration, but actually they are not all that new. Many of the faces are the same. In a roundabout way the high school is playing a fun game of musical offices. Mr. Tupper has moved into the office for his first year of vice principal. Mr. Raines has moved down an office to become our new principal. Mr. Toth just didn’t disappear. He is now principal at Piedmont. Along with the new faces in new positions also come new ideas and opportunities. Overall our school hopes to find a more peaceful environment this year and in the years to come. Many of the teachers are encouraged to deal with the bulk of their own disciplinary problems, leaving the office itself a more pleasant environment. The school is also looking into the future as plans for block scheduling continue. Just to brief some of you up, instead of having seven periods in a school day where each period lasts around 50 minutes, next year there will only be four periods which last around 90 min utes each. This is a change that many other schools have undergone and found successful. The students and faculty are privileged once again this year to have Sharon Wyrrick joining us at the high school as our artist in residence. Miss Wyrrick is also not a new face at RCHS. Many of us got the opportunity to work with her at school two years ago. She will be bringing her art into each of the student’s lives through many different methods. Although many things have changed, some things remain the same. The class of 1995 has gone. A new senior class has risen up to set the pace at RCHS. Senior class officers are Jesse Rogers, president; Cari Kerr, vice president; Courtney Welch, secretary; and Mark Jenkins, treasurer. And a busy pace it is. From student government officer election to picture days, each day is filled with fun and excitement. Overall both the students and the faculty at RCHS have a wonderful year ahead.. I look forward to being the Panther Pause correspondent this year. I am a senior at Rappahannock County High School. I thoroughly enjoy attending the high school and I hope I will be able to keep you well informed with the latest happenings at RCHS. Just A Thought “Laugh at what you did today. It’s all been done before,” Tim DeLaughter. Fall House Tour To Feature Log Cabin By MAURICE HERNDON Rjppahanaock Newt Contributing Writer The log cabin home of Page and Charles Coombs is one of the more interesting homes to be opened for the 39th Annual Rappahannock County House Tour and Dried Flower Sale scheduled for the weekend of Oct 22 and 23. Affectionately called “The Cabin on Mill Run,” so named, in the Culpeper County Courthouse records of 1790, this resurrected and expanded log cabin home is located in the Castleton area of Rappahannock County. Some years ago, the Coombs, while visiting this area from their home on the Eastern Shore, “fell in love with the mountainous beauty of Rappahannock County and its friendly people.” They decided to try and find a log cabin in the woods that they could restore and make their home. In their search, they found such a log cabin, but it, under various additions and repairs by previous occupants, was overgrown with bushes and vines. What made this building of particular interest was its history. According to papers in the Culpeper County Courthouse, the cabin was built by a French Huguenot family named Mozingeau some time prior to 1790. This was when this area of Virginia was deep wilderness, with some sections still regarded as “Indian Country.” Over the years other occupants and additions to the building added a bathroom, kitchen Photos courtesy of Dieter Kneupfer The old log cabin forms the central section of Page and Charles Coombs’s home. and a lower level back room. Besides restoring the log cabin section of the house in an authentic manner, the Coombs also added a second bathroom and a woodworking shop. The latter working area was added so that Mr. Coombs could continue his work in recreating authentic Air Seminar Set Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Bill Wade invites interested citizens to attend a daylong air quality seminar. The seminar will be held in the park on Saturday, Sept. 30. This seminar is a repeat of the one held on Aug. 19. Cub Scouts Prepare for Year By LIBET PIERSON Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Summer is almost over and Cub Scouts throughout Rappahannock County are gathering at den meetings and talking over their vacation exploits. Many scouts used a few of those hot and hazy days to complete additional requirements for achievement badges which will be awarded at the first Pack meeting next month. For some scouts, a high point in ► Schools From Page A-l Bryant Lee said improvements to the lab are particularly needed. Dr. Gangel noted that the bond money can only provide design work. Chairman Beverly Massie said the school system needs to have the design work done to know what to put in next year’s budget to actually carry out the renovation. Assistant superintendent Mary Ann Biggs reported on plans to use volunteers at both schools. Volunteer coordinator Jan Makela has been working with the staff to develop guidelines, she reported. Volunteers are working with librarians at both schools and are helping with keyboarding with fourth grade teachers, Mrs. Biggs reported. There is another group which is unable to work during the school day but will come in after school and help teachers display student work in the halls. At the high school volunteers are being encouraged to come during lunch time and establish relationships with students. Mrs. Biggs said so far most of the volunteers are parents and grandparents, but the schools want to reach out to other community members. A new state law requires that the schools send out forms for parents to sign notifying them they must participate in making sure their children obey school rules and they can be fined if they do not sign and return the form and if they do not cooperate with the schools. The law also sets out complicated rules for requiring meetings with parents when students are suspended. Dr. Gangel said they school system will follow the law but is not likely to seek to fine parents except in extraordinary circumstances. He said apparently the current form parents sign indicating they and their students have read the student handbook does not meet the laws requirements. their summer was a weekend at Cub Scout Camp near Winchester. Fishing, archery, crafts, B.B. gun shooting, campfire cookery and other fun activities made the time fly by. One lucky group of campers made a field trip to the Baltimore aquarium. But not all the talk at the meetings is of the past couple months. Many of the conversations concern plans for building flashier, faster Pinewood Derby cars. And a few scouts are already considering how they’ll make a winning set of arrows for the November Turkey Shoot competition. Campouts, hikes, cookouts, games and projects of all sorts are eagerly anticipated. Older Webelos scouts have the opportunity to earn up to 20 activity badges. Some of these are for sports and athletic activities. Others are involved with exploring careers such as geology, forestry, engineering and communications. Art, crafts, woodworking and naturalist badges as well as many others can be earned. The younger scouts can look forward to lots of fun and games, special projects and an introduction to the many outdoor activities that are an important part of scouting. Learn more about the fun and benefits of scouting. Boys in first through fifth grades and their parehts are invited to attend Pack 123’s School Night at the Rappahannock County Elementary School on Thursday, Sept. 21. The program will begin at 7 p.m. with a short presentation. There will be displays and information and plenty of scouts and den leaders available to answer your questions. Come and join the fun.

► Zoning From Page A-l offices in agricultural zones but allow them in residential zones with a special use permit. Hampton District representative Mike Massie was joined by Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes and Wakefield District representative Hubert Gilkey in voting for the ban on antique/gift shops. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham and Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson opposed it. Mr. Massie provided the swing vote in this case as he did in the Planning Commission which recommended the ban in a 4 to 3 vote last month. He said he could “go either way.” County Administrator John McCarthy said the county currently has one antique shop operating with a special use permit in an agricultural zone and an application for one more that will be heard by the Planning Commission later this month. That can still be approved because the application came in before the change in the Zoning Ordinance. With the new amendment no one else can apply for such a shop in an agricultural zone, but antique/gift shops will still be allowed in villages. Mr. McCarthy said the county zoning ordinance makes a distinction between home occupations which are generally allowed and retail uses that can generate a lot of traffic. Mr. Massie said the amendments were recommended by the Planning Commission because of a “concern to let villages be villages and farms be farms” without having the villages connected by strips of such commercial activities. Col. Bingham said he could not see the need for the ban on antique shops, especially if they were in exsiting farm outbuildings. “There’s not going to be that heavy a volume of traffic," he said. “Take a farmer’s wife and she has that interest. Do we really want to tell her she can’t do this as a way to get a little extra income because Mike doesn’t give her enough allowance?” He admitted his scenario was “pretty far-fatched.” He said he did not believe many people could make money with an antique business and they could not break even if they had to rent space in a village. «■ Mr. Estes agreed the antique business is not very profitable. He said most people would be better off “putting their money in CDs.” Col. Bingham said, “My concern is are we really inhibiting the opportunity for somebody to make a few dollars?” Mr. Estes said, “There’s nothing to prevent them from having a yard sale a couple of times a year.” They could also put their antiques in shops on consignment, he said. Mr. Gilkey said, “The problem I have is that an antique shop and a gift shop are two different things. I have to go along with the recommendation of the Planning Commission.” Mr. Anderson said, “1 don’t see any reason to restrict something that’s not causing any problem in the county right now .” The issue of the proposed amendment on post offices was confused by the fact that the postal service is apparently currently negotiating for a new location for the Amissville Post Office. Several years ago the county received several applications for new Amissville post office locations. Two were approved and two were denied. Members of the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors indicated they would prefer a location on the south side of U.S. 211 on or near Route 642. One of the approved locations was across U.S. 211 at the More gasoline station. The other was on the south side of U.S. 211 on property that adjoins the mobile home park. The postal service did not follow through with plans for either property and this summer again requested applicants to house the post office. This time they received two proposals. One Mr. McCarthy said was in an ideal location on Route 642, but it was more expensive, and the Postal Service has to take the lower bid. The other is on the North side of U.S. 211 at the intersection with Route 645, across Route 645 from a location previously turned down by the county. That property is zoned rural residential, which allows one house per five acres and does not currently allow post offices. Ron Frazier, who is challenging Col. Bingham for the Jackson District seat on the Board of Supervisors, said if the board approved the zoning amendment Amissville would lose its post office^ He said the people of the area would be satisfied with any location between Early’s Carpets and the Lombardy Restaurant on either side of the highway. Mr. McCarthy said the proposed action would have no effect on an application for the post office that is expected because the property in question is not zoned agricultural. However, the supervisors postponed acting on that amendment and instead voted to advertise another amendment that would ban post offices in agricultural zones but allow them with a special use permit in residential zones. Mr. Massie said the planners felt strongly post offices should be in the towns. The supervisors approved additional standards for conference centers saying they could not provide overtiight accommodations, and centers with facilities for groups of from one to 100 people should have at least 10 acres, while those serving 101 to 250 people should have at least 20 acres. Mr. McCarthy said this would have no effect on resorts or lodges which provide overnight accommodations and also have conference facilities since they would apply under the part of the ordinance that governs lodges and resorts. The additional standards for swimming/tennis facilities require a minimum of 25 acres and states recreational facilities should be set back a minimum of 100 feet from adjacent properties. Col. Bingham said the county should encourage people to develop such facilities for the use of county people and also to increase the tax base. He said they should not be encouraged for tax exempt organiza tions, however. Mr. Anderson noted that the county cannot discriminate between tax paying and tax exempt organizations in granting permits. The supervisors also approved changes in the Zoning Ordinance to clean up a typographical error and to bring the ordinance into line with state law on trailers in agricultural zones. . . ■ - * r* ► Court From Page A-l she remembered screaming and guesses that she then passed out briefly, then got up and heard the gun discharge. Responding to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, Ms. Baldwin said that the grandchildren were upstairs when the incident occurred. She estimated that Mr. Snyder had 24 to 48 beers, but in later testimony he said that he only had between 12 and 16 beers. Ms. Baldwin said that Mr. Snyder returned to the house the next day for his food stamps and his money, and that he threatened to come back and shoot her and Bob West if Mr. West was not gone by 5 p.m. Susan Jenkins, Ms. Baldwin’s daughter, upheld her mother’s testimony, and added that Mr. Snyder threw a fan out into the yard. (Ms. Baldwin has asthma and having the fan on provides more oxygen for her, she said.) Ms. Jenkins said that Mr. Snyder was very angry and told her mother to get in the house “or else.” Ms. Jenkins said that after her mother went in the house, she went to the bedroom door to listen, “so I could hear if he beat her up.” She heard her mother scream, and told the jury, “I freaked out. I thought she was dead.” She claimed that Mr. Snyder said he wanted to scare everyone. During Mr. Snyder’s testimony, he said that everyone was drinking about equal amounts, that both he and Ms. Baldwin were intoxicated. He said that she was flirting with Mr. West “right in front of me,” and that as the evening wore on she did not pay any attention to him at all, admitting that he was jealous. He tried to get Ms. Baldwin to come in the house, he said. Explaining the gun incident, Mr. Snyder said that he thought he had gotten all the shells out of the gun, went to put it on safety, and the trigger slipped off his thumb and the gun went off. He said he did not intend for the gun to go off, and did not know anyone was coming through the door at the time it went off. Mr. Luke argued that Mr; Snyder could not explain why there was still a bullet in the gun when he pulled the trigger, and Mr. Snyder admitted that he had never taken a firearm or hunter safety course. Mr. Williams argued that there, was no malice intended, that his client was drunk. (Mr. Snyder had been indicted for maliciously and unlawfully discharging a firearm, which is a more serious charge than what the jury found him guilty of.) Mr. Luke indicated that intoxication if not a defense. “1 think this was a malicious intent on his part; a cruel act. I ask that you convict him as charged,” he said. ► Bison From Page A-l States. By the end of the 1800s the number had declined to under 1,000. But bison are making a comeback, and there are now more than 200,000.

I Ginger Hill Angus Has Auction By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The second annual Ginger Hill Angus Sale held last Saturday brought cattle farmers from all around the country. A total of eight bulls, 44 cows and 12 calves were auctioned off under the tent on Newbill Miller’s property in Washington. Ginger Hill Angus is a family owned and operated business, according to daughter-in-law Ann Miller. Mr. Miller and his three sons Jay, Hodge and Brooke run the business, along with help from farmhands. The Millers have been breeding purebred Angus since Mr. Miller and his father, Dick, added some purebred cows to their herd in 1956. A family member says that the Ginger Hill Angus is the leading herd in the United States for pure milk EPD (expected progeny difference), and that their angus cows are the heaviest milking cows in the United States.“They are bred for performance, not used for show,” said Ann Miller. With nine grandchildren in the family, five boys and four girls, the fartiily hopes some of them will carry on the family business. The auction, which lasted about two and one-half hours, earned a total of $166,600 for the Millers, for an average cattle price of $3,205.

McNelly Exhibit 'Astonishes the Viewer' By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Jeff MacNeily’s exhibition at the Middle Street Gallery astonishes the viewer in several ways. The first is its variety, from a pair of cast bronze boots to an imaginative portrait drawing of what seems to be an Indian woman whom he calls “Brushy Creek.” Five pieces of sculpture made of barbed wire are all expressive, some humorous, one derisive and one, the horse “Alchemist,” an affectionate appreciation of the beautiful lines of a particular animal he knows. This latter piece, emphasizing the curved volumes and forms of a horse, illustrates the irrelevance of what an artist uses to compose his work. Another opinion might see in the barbed wire the virtue of the linear qualities of the wire and the dynamic function of the barbs to animate the figure. In contrast to his horse, Mr. MacNelly’s “Mac’s Wild Ride,” a replica in barbed wire of an airplane, complete with scraved pilot, invites one to examine the many kinds and forms of metal he has used to make this gay extravagance. Not surprisingly, MacNelly’s subjects comment on his world — two “speaking” liknesses, drawn with ballpoint pen, of individuals, “Master Dink,” a Key West boatman, and “Chris in Paradise,” his assistant who usually resident on Colorado, but in Berkofsky Concert Is 'Highly Satisfying' By CARL COON Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Martin Berkofsky, the noted concert pianist, entertained a near-capacity audience at The Theatre at Washington on Sunday afternoon with his interpretations of two of the most demanding piano sonatas in the Classical literature. The Brahms Sonata in F minor, op. 3, is a dense, introspective, and technically challenging work lasting upwards of forty minutes; the betterknown Liszt Sonata in B minor is a bravura peace, full of thunder, rather easier to listen to. Mr. Berkofsky adapted his style and approach to the particular qualities of each. He took that Brahms rather slowly, on the whole, but played with passion and force — an approach that enhanced the finale with its haunting theme and crashing climax. The Liszt sonata he dispatched with technical virtuosity humanized by a sensitive rendition of the piece’s more lyrical passages. It was a highly satisfying perfor mance. The audience responded enthusiastically and he replied with a barn-burner encore: his own piano arrangement of Souza’s Stars and Stripes Forever. Review This concert provides a fine introduction to the upcoming concert season at The Theatre by Mr. Berkofsky’s Cristofori Ensemble, which has our home town of Washington as its home base. Four performances of chamber music are scheduled between October and February. Now that I’ve looked over the pieces they plan to play, I can say I’m familiar with almost all of them, and particularly admire those that I know. They are melodious and accessible on the one hand, and relatively unfamiliar on the other. It should be an interesting and rewarding series. Review this case is shown vacation in Key West. Both subjects are serious, though fellows you might take some time to come to know in person better than you seem to know them from their portraits. The influence of the West, besides the drawing of “Brushy Creek” and the bronze riding boots, comes out in paintings of a saddle and a gun. MacNelly’s interest in animals shows in a drawing of “Spirit,” and old Brahman bull, and “Scarface,” a some-what mutilated cat. . Three pictures feature rhinoceroses, all quite different and all humorous. There are a number of colored drawings of political figures — cartoons that encouraged attention and analysis. I thought the most successful one was former President Bush, portrayed as a retriever dog with a decoy, in his mouth, a Saddam Hussein duck, with a chain attached “Bush” is shown as full of consternation. This show will make all who see it think of Jeff MacNelly as a fully rounded artist and sensitive portrayer of his times. If one were called to sum up his work in a word, a conscientious person would have to refuse — imaginative, creative, meticulous, skilled, fascinated by 4kthe thing,” yet interested in the symbolic. These are some of the terms that immediately come to mind from looking at his art and enjoying this exhibition. A thoughtful, searching person, we learn, lurks behind the cartoonist the public has been entertained by day after day. Operettas Coming Next Week Inspired by Greek mythology and fascinated by the eternal battle between male and female forces, Washington, D.C. composer Richard Squires has created a new work for music theatre. The first concert performance is at the Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 23. The Fall of Albion, for which Squires wrote the words as well as the music, is an allegorical musical drama. The Concert Suite from the work forms the first part of the program. Igor Stranvinsky’s seldom performed work, L ’Histone du Soldat, constitutes the second half of the program. L’Historie du Soldat ox The Soldier's Tale; was written by Stravinsky immediately after the First World War in 1918. In the plot, the soldier’s violin plays a central role and the solo violin is important throughout. The music is to be performed by The Airlie Players, a 10-piece cham ber orchestra with oboe, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, percussion, violin, viola, cello and double bass. The conductor is Michael Willens, assistant conductor with the American Symphony Orchestra in New York. Jody Gatwood is the violinist and concertmaster. The two singing roles are for mezzo-soprano, Marilyn Boyd DeReggi, and baritone, Howard Coon. Following the first performance of this concert at the Theatre at Washington there will be performances at the Airlie Conference Center in Warrenton at 2 p.m. on Sept. 24 and at the Landsburgh Theatre in Washington, D.C. at 8 p.m. on Sept. 25. Tickets for the performance at the Theatre at Washington 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. Mike Fletcher gave the cows and bulls a quick grooming before they entered the sales arena.

They hate homework! Why have homework anyway7 Is it really necessary? Well, perhaps it is necessary, for though the classroom is the place of learning, homework is an exercise in application ..the time to use that knowledge even when other activities are tempting; but first we must learn. Our spiritual life somewhat parallels this concept. We attend God’s house and study His Word. The rest of the week is ' homework", as we apply this wisdom in our daily lives, away from the sanctuary and amidst temptation. As one minister expressed this. “It is not as important what you feel when you are here as when you have left here.” Attend your chosen place of worship this Sabbath; and after you have learned of God's will, always do your homework. * SUNDAY Matthew 25:1-13 MONDAY Matthew 25:14-30 TUESDAY Matthew 25:31-46 WEDNESDAY I Corinthians 1:1-17 THURSDAY I Corinthians 1:18-31 FRIDAY I Corinthians 2:1-16 Scrityres Se ectea The A/rwcan-ftftte Sooety Copyright ’995 *e*ster-W>ii'ams Ne.wpaoer Serv-ces 3 O Box 0005 Chartotttsviile VA 22906 BROWN AND CLARK CONSTRUCTION Home Improvements and Repairs Bobby Brown Washington, Va. 540-675-3624 ABERDEEN BARN Steaks • Seafood • Prime Rib Banquets • Luncheons in the Holiday Inn of Culpeper -540-825-1037 Jimmie's Auto Parts Complete line of foreign &. domestic parts. 161 Saunders St. • Culpeper 540/825-8030 The Color Shoppe Paint • Carpet • Wallcovering Blinds Rt. 29 South • 2 miles from Culpeper Old Hudson Ham Building 547-9743 GOLDEN CORRAL Family Steak House 540-825-5888, Culpeper jjpmcfaActivmes are :Mcpght3t^^gcotittesy^gese advertisers and,the Rapphanno JfeNewsI mm sm/mm

Apple Salads — Good Choice for Fall Meals By HELEN W. SMITH Exteatton Agent. Home Economics The Food Guide Pyramid recommends that we eat larger quantities of grains, fresh fruits and vegetables and smaller amounts of high fat and high sugar foods.

DIANE RELF Rappahannock Nem Contributing Writer When ordering or buying spring bulbs for planting in fall, visions of a magnificent, spring garden perfectly complementing your home and landscape may dance in your head. The resulting display in spring, however, may not live up to your/ expectations. Often, the color combinations chosen just don’t work well together, or they don’t achieve the mood you hoped to create. When choosing colors, consider both the inside and outside of the house. A well-designed, garden viewthrough a window adds a splash of color to the interior decor much like a framed painting. From the street, the landscape should complement the color and structure of the house. Also, consider plants and bulbs that will be in bloom at the same time. Since color, height, and season of bloom can make or break a garden design, the following tips can help you make bulb selections with pleasing results. Select One Color as Principal Shade Other as Accent Blues and yellows — Seven shades of blue and yellow can be combined in a bulb display. This pairing is used best in the garden when one color is selected as the principal shade, and the other is used for accent. Blue and yellow are uplifting, but not overwhelming colors. The mix is especially nice when viewed from a breakfast nook. Warm pastels — Set amid the lush greens of spring, the soft hues and shades of pinks, corals, creams, lavenders, and other pastels please the eye and complement many modern, interior decors. These colors also create the mood of an English cottage garden when used near a Tudor-style home. Try groupings of warm pastels in garden beds framed by a living room window. Red and yellow — For many, no other combination captures the joy of springtime as well as red and yellow. A recent survey found that men particularly like this color combination. Think about using bulbs in these colors where visible from an office or near a garage. For a traditional display, plant a mass of mid-season, tall, red tulips. Add clumps of golden yellow daffodils at the edges as highlights. Classic White-on-White Suited for Small Gardens White on white. White with offwhite, ivory and white — This look is especially suited for small gardens or sections of large beds. It also makes a fabulous border against a brick or stone wall, or along the front walk of a Colonial-style house. For an elegant look, group flow'ers by size, planting clusters of taller flowers among the shorter plants. Try groupings of white hyacinths with pure-white daffodils for the white-onwhite look. For a Final touch, add clumps of white Fosteriana tulips. Orange and pink — Apricot and coral flowers shine alongside “oldrose” shades of pink and mauve. They also combine and contrast well with white, ivory and yellow. For an elegant border, mix clusters of tall, lilyflowering tulips in soft coral and deep-pink shades. Purples and yellows — Yellow and purple are on opposite sides of the color wheel. These two shades enliven a colorless corner and lend themselves well to both country-style landscapes and those with a formal tendency. Combine purple, yellow, and white crocuses in a concentrated planting outside your kitchen window for a cheery first view of spring. For a natural, wildflower look, plant patches of crocus throughout your lawn. Easy naturalizers, they multiply over the years. Use Large Patches of Flowers To Avoid Spotty Look Purples, blues and fire-reds — Flowers offer a wealth of choices in these colors. To avoid a spotty look, use large patches of flowers in shades of blue and purple to anchor the scheme, adding smaller areas of red for dynamic accents. Or vice versa! Since these colors can appear dark against a green background, a solid patch of white here and there lightens and heightens the impact. Bring a rocky nook to life in early spring by pairing delicate groupings of deep-blue Iris reticulata and lighter blue and purple violets. Add a splash of vermilion-red with early blooming Tulipa praestans fusilier, a species of tulip that grows about 10 inches tall. Slivers and grays — Although generally used as filler colors, silver and gray can be used to emulate the look of stones and rock walls in the landscape. Where springtime display is concerned, they can also be used to bring a little “snow” into the picture. For an elegant look, tall, white, late-blooming Darwin tulips with light, gray-green foliage can be planted with fluffy white astilbes and ‘Johnson’s Blue’ cranesbill geraniums. A clump of tall, slender, bluegreen fescue grass comes to life with white and pale-green ‘Spring Green’ Tulipa viridiflora. Whatever your preference, you’re sure to find some ideas and inspirations in the above choices. Now the actual planning and planting are up to you.

Warren Memorial Plans Expansion By MELANIE BARBER Rappahaanock N«ws Coiitributiag Writer Warren Memorial Hospital and Valley Health System announced plans this week for a S2.8 million modernization and expansion of the hospital’s obstetrical unit and Emergency Department on the first floor next to the new outpatient entrance and Same-Day Surgery' unit. The project involves replacing the existing obstetrical unit on the third flood of the hospital’s original building and expanding the Emergency Department to include “fast-track” service for less seriously ill patients and expanded trauma and cardiac treatment areas. Also included in the project are altered entrances, expanded lobby and waiting areas and construction of a new gift shop. This expansion will be Warren Memorial’s largest building improvement project since the south wing was added in the late 1970s. . In its long-range and strategic planning, Warren Memorial Hospital’s board of directors identified modernized obstetrical facilities and expansion of the Emergency Department as key areas for upgrading services to the community. The project is made possible by funding assistance from Valley Health System, the non-profit parents corporation of Warren Memorial Hospital. "Greater access to capital for needed construction and equipment purchases is one benefit of the hospital’s affiliation with Valley Health System,” said William A. “Pete” Johnston, chairman of the system’s board of directors. The new obstetrical suite will contain four LDRP (labor, delivery , recovery and post-partum) rooms in which women would remain during labor and delivery and after the baby is bom until discharged from the hospital. The unit will also contain two beds designated for longer-stay Caesarian-section births and two designated for gynecological cases. The new location will be close to the surgical suite, where C-sections, other obstetrical and gynecological surgeries are performed. The hospital recruited two obstetricians/gynecologists in 1994. Recruiting physicians, always challenging for small community hospitals, was made more difficult by the current condition of the obstetrical unit at Warren Memorial. The existing labor, delivery and post-partum rooms are located in the hospital’s original wing opened in 1951. While there have been minor “facelift” improvements, there have been no major renovations of the third-floor unit because of difficulties that would be encountered w ith the concrete and load-bearing walls. A former labor room has been converted to a birthing room, and a testing area serves as a back-up birthing area. Nearly all deliveries except C-sections occur in these rooms. “The space was designed at a time when the mother delivered in the delivery room and remained in the hospital for one to tw'o weeks, when obstetrical patients were treated as being ‘sick,’” said Sherry Morrison, RN, Director of Maternal Child Health. “Besides being more efficient, the new design will be more suitable for a 24-to 48-hour stay, will promote rooming in and will help make the birthing experience pleasing for families.” Modernization and expansion of the Emergency Department will include three “fast track” exam and treatment rooms staffed by a nurse practitioner to treat less seriously ill patients and reduce congestion in the department. The project will also improve the size of the department’s --^W * trauma care area and add a cardiac treatment area with appropriate monitors and other equipment necessary to care for serious heart ailments. All Emergency Department traffic now enters the department through the same door and through the present waiting room, which is inadequate for the department’s approximately 18,000 v isits per year. Two entrances will be created: one for critically ill patients and those who must be transported by ambulance, and another for patients able to enter the department on their own. Additional space in the waiting area will enable family to wait comfortably and out of the flow' of patient traffic. A new corridor will allow patients registering for other outpatients procedures after regular registration hours to get to the rest of the hospital without having to travel either through the Emergency Department treatment areas or outside the building. ,The fast-track program is being developed in response to a community health needs assessment survey conducted in the summer of 1994 by the Community Health Forum, a group of area health care, human service and community organizations and agencies, including Warren Memorial Hospital. The number-one concern among the health and human service providers responding to the survey was “cost-efficient after-hours health care.” The average total “through-time” in the Emergency Department is two hours. Service improvement such as the fast-track program will held decrease waiting time as well as address the separation of critically ill and less seriously ill patient and patient privacy considerations. The proposed location of the Women's Care Center requires relocation of the main entrance and registration area and will include expansion of the lobby and construction of a new gift shop. “This project is an opportunity to incorporate the gift shop into the hospital’s ‘front door’ functions, a goal of ours for a number of years,” said Frances Johnson, President of the Warren Memorial Hospital Auxiliary . The Auxiliary operates the gift shop. The hospital has applied to the Virginia Department of Health for a Certificate of Public Need (COPN) for the expansion project. The state health commissioner is expected to make a decision on the application by the end of the year. If approved, construction of the new and expanded facilities would be completed in the spring of 1997. Warren Memorial also has filed a COPN application to use space on the third floor for sub-acute rehabilitation beds. A decision on the project is pending. If both projects are approved, the hospital will reduce its total number of licensed beds from 151 to 135; 76 acute-care, 40 nursing beds (Lynn Care Center), eight intensive care beds and 11 sub-acute beds. Warren Memorial Hospital is one of four subsidiaries of Valley Health System, a non-profit parent corporation. Other subsidiaries of Valley Health System are: Winchester Medical Center, a 408-bed, non-profit regional referral hospital offering a full range of diagnostic, medical and surgical services for 450,000 residents of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland; the Surgi-Center of Winchester, a same-day outpatient facility; and Valley Regional Enterprises, which includes Valley Home Care, a durable medical goods and equipment company.
