Town Approves Street Light Plan treasurer Uoing to Texas By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Washington Town Council unanimously approved the Pemco light fixture for town street lights at last Wednesday’s meeting, but not before getting a chuckle out of member Steve Critzer’s suggestion. “I'd like to See us study these lights for a couple more years.” The discussion started several years ago when Potomac Edison notified the town and county it would no longer provide parts for the existing incandescent street lights. The power company put up a sodium vapor fixture described as a “cobra arm” on a pole, in front of the courthouse and let the town and county know it wished to replace the town’s street lights with that model. Opposition to the appearance of the fixture and the orange-color light it provided was nearly universal. The town formed a lighting committee. Charles Eldred looked at the collection of street lights in town and found four that were similar and of a design quite common in small towns when electric street lighting was first introduced. Furthermore reproduc tions of those lights were being produced. and they could accommodate a color corrected bulb that provides light similar in color but brighter than the incandescent bulbs. The Architectural Review Board favored another model in an “acorn” style, and the council survey ed town residents about their choices by sending ballots out in water bills. Finally the town settled on the Pemco fixture and then had problems getting a sample as another company took over their manufacture. Last month the sample fixture was finally installed. Mayor Stewart Willis said the only commentj he had received about the light carhe from Betsy Murray who complained about the amount of light the fixture puts out. Mr. Eldred said refractors could be put in the fixtures that would force the light into an oval in the street and away from windows. Mr. Eldred presented maps with symbols in yellow, pink and blue, for the locations of street lights. Currently there are 52, he said, two are on church properties and presumably See Council, Page A-8 Federal Retirees Who Refused State Settlement Win Bie By ROB WILHELM Capital New* Service RICHMOND — Federal pensioners who refused to settle with Virginia for refunds of state taxes they overpaid for three years are entitled to full refunds. In a decision Friday morning the Virginia Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous opinion that the 14,283 pensioners are entitled to a full refund plus interest, which amounts to close to $78 million. The cost would have been higher if not for the settlement reached with 90 percent of the pensioners, who received about 75 cents on the dollar. Virginia’s original liability to all of thepensioners reached $411 million in refunds excluding interest. The settlement agreement calls for the state to pay out $314 million during a four-year period. Had the state not reached a settlement agreement, the total payout would near $800 million. Including the original settlement and the $47.5 million in overpaid taxes and $30.5 million in interest now due the pensioners who opted out of the original settlement, the state’s total payout is about $400 million. In separate press conferences on Friday, Gov. George Allen and Attorney General James S. Gilmore 111 both said they were grateful to those who accepted the state’s original settlement offer. “I am grateful to the more than 90 percent of the federal retirees who were willing to settle this case early,” Mr. Gilmore said. “As I have said from the beginning of this case, there was risk to be taken on both sides of this issue.” Mr. Gilmore also said that one of the his first priorities after taking office was to settle this case fairly and quickly. Furthermore, he advised fhe Democratic Party dominated General Assembly that a settlement was in the •best interests of the taxpayers since the chances of losing the case were great. Gov. Allen, who pushed the reluctant General Assembly last year to settle, sa d that he doubted a backlash would occur from the pensioners who settled. “When the settle, you settle in good faith," he said. “It was voluntary. No one was forced to settle.” The governor said the state will find the funds to pay the settlement and expenditures will have to be reduced elsewhere. “If we owe it, we’re going to pay it,” he said. “That’s all there is to it.” Gov. Alien said his administration changed the direction of previous administrations who contended the state “didn’t owe them a thing — let’s continue fighting them endlessly.” “Can you imagine if we had not settled and listened to the majority." Gov. Allen asked. Whether the state continues to fight in court remains to be seen, but Mr. Gilmore and Gov. Allen both acknowledged that the state will center its attention on how to pay back the pensioners.

'"*T 9 BB Pistol Found at RCES By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Petitions are being sought to charge a 12year old boy at RCES with possession of a firearm on school property, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward. According to a letter sent home to parents of RCES students Monday, and signed by Dr. Gangel and Principal Raye Tupper, the boy, a sixth-grader, was found to have a BB pistol in his book bag last Thursday. The letter said that another student alerted officials of the pistol, and that the pistol was neither taken out of the book bag nor used to threaten anyone. The student has been suspended, since weapons violations are very serious, said Dr. Gangel. According to Sheriff Woodward, it is school policy to call the Sheriff s Office whenever they find weapons or drugs, and it is up to the school whether to file charges. The Sheriffs Office will be conducting their weapons in school program at both public schools within the next two weeks. This program was scheduled before the weapons incident. County One of 'Richest' By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s Local Composite Index (LCI), the measure the state uses to determine the county’s ability to support public education was increased from .642 for the 1994-96 biennial budget to .7411 for the 1996-98 budget. According to this measure Rappahannock is the fourth wealthiest county in the state, exceeded only by Arlington, Bath and Surry counties. Those three have composite indexes of .8 the highest possible. In the case of Bath and Surry counties the high index results from major Virginia Power installations. None of the other counties had such a large increase from one budget to another, .0991 for Rappahannock. The next largest was .0496. At the Board of Supervisors meeting earlier this month County Administrator John McCarthy estimated that the higher LCI would mean about $200,000 less for the county in state aid for schools in each of the next two years. The LCI is computed using the “true” value of real estate, adjusted gross income and taxable retail sales for each locality divided by the number of students in average daily membership and population. The new index was calculated using figures from 1993. Rappahannock has always had a high LC1 but never as high as this. The previous high was .6999. The county’s apparent wealth results from the high value of county real estate and adjusted gross income. The state’s own figures for median family income show Rappahannock below the state average, but on adjusted gross income divided by school children or general population the county ranks above the state average. In taxable retail sales divided by school or general population the county ranks low, but that accounts for only 10 percent of the formula. The low number of students in average daily membership in March 1994 also accounts for some of the jump. That March the school’s ADM was 983. That number increased last year and is likely to increase even more this year, but it will be two more years before the enrollment gain is reflected in the LC1. Over the years, especially at election time, there have been suggestions to change the way the LCI is computed. The most popular suggestion with Rappahannock governing bodies has been to take into account “land use” value of real estate rather than relying on “fair market” value. The increasing power of urban and suburban areas in the General Assembly, makes it unlikely such a change, favoring rural areas, will be enacted.

Ray Swanson Bartley Jr., 70/55, Con Artists Hit Area By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke wants to warn Rappahannock residents to be on the alert for fraudulent home repair sales people in the county. Mr. Luke spoke early this week with Wayne Brown of the Virginia Department of Commerce, the investigator in charge for this region. Mr. Brown told him that gypsy families have once again been visiting the area, and there have been a number of fraud cases reported recently between Fredericksburg and Winchester. iney usually approacn eiaeny persons about doing some home improvements, such as paving driveways, painting the chimney, and other jobs around the house, said Mr. Luke. They knock on doors unannounced. Be skeptical, he said. Ask for references and check out those references. Also, ask to see their state contractor’s license. A lot of these gypsies, who really are gypsies and come from Eastern Europe, have multiple identities, and travel as whole families. “These gypsies come through every couple of years,” said Mr. Luke. Castleton House Burglarized By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rolf Johnsen of Route 649 in Castleton reported last Sunday that several pieces of electronic equipment were stolen from his house.

Pledge for Parents Causes Controversy By BILL BUCKMAN Capital News Service RICHMOND — Virginia’s school children this fall are bringing home more than report cards for their parents to sign. A new state law' that took effect July 1 requires parents to sign a “contract” to cooperate with school officials on disciplining their children or pay a fine. Parents must sign a statement saying they have read their school’s conduct code and agree to cooperate with schools in “managing” their child’s conduct. Failure to do so could result in a $50 fine by a juvenile and domestic relations court. Parents refusing to meet with school officials to discuss their child’s suspension can be fined a maximum of $500 by a judge. In a letter a division superintendents, Williams C. Bosher Jr., state superintendent of public instruction, stated that the newly enacted law will provide schools with an additional tool for involving parents with school Republicans Schedule Fund Raiser '-The Rappahannock County Republican Party is having its annual fundraiser and rally at the Amissville Fire: Hall from 4 to 7 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 23.

Some principals in the state agree. “The conduct pledge is a means of assuring support,” said Bernette Johnson, assistant principal of Mosby Middle School in Richmond. “It gives us more support at the school level when talking to parents.” “Some parents haven’t clearly understood the relationship between home and school — quite often they don’t have time,” Ms. Johnson said, Hurricane Help Sought The recent hurricane has done great damage to property on the Virgin Islands. People are homeless-, hungry and poorly clothed. There is a need for donations of clothing, blankets, flashlights, tooth paste, first aid supplies, soap, and so forth.. Retired Judge Burke Hertz has been informed of these needs by friends on the Islands and is spearheading the effort for local aid. He urges Rappahannock citizens to look in their closets and storerooms for things they can donate to this desperate cause. There will be a pick up of donations at the Four and Twenty parking lot in Flint Hill at noon on Thursday Sept. 21.

As always the value of county real estate is primarily responsible for the Local Composite Index being so high at .74. This means that once the state computes the cost of providing an education that meets the state’s standards of quality, a computation that woefully underestimates the true cost, and subtracts the portion of the sales tax the county gets, the state will expect county taxpayers to pick up 74 percent of the remaining cost while the state picks up 26 percent. Of course the county has to spend more than this to run the school system, and basically county taxpayers pick up 100 percent of this additional spending. Assessing county real estate at its fair market value, based on sales, is not the only problem with the formula. Another measure the state uses is adjusted gross income. While statistics supplied by the state’s Department of Education indicate that Rappahannock families rank below the state’s average in median income, using adjusted gross income as a measure of ability to pay for education, the state ranks Rappahannock above average. Every four years Virginia elects a new governor, and every governor appoints a body to study educational funding. Most of these bodies propose a change in the formula, but nothing seems to come of those proposals, and the formula remains the same. The only relief in sight for Rappahannock County is that two years hencqj when the state again computes the Local Composite Index, the increased enrollment in the public schools should result in a lower number. Bravo! In 1988 the new gymnasium opened at the high school just in time for graduation. After six full school years the students at the school will finally get to use that gym for a school dance this Friday. Thanks to the new administration at the high school the ridiculous policy of placing the gym off limits for school dances has been changed. From 8 to 11 p.m. this Friday the gym will be the site of a Hawaiian Bash complete with Limbo contests. It’s about time! J / S°fi5 Jfc-" Whoever thought up this stupid thing/ that doesn't work/called the COMPOSE INDEX anyway???? It couldn't hove been (owe one in Richmond' could it?? Letters ■ mmmm Scheer Supports Schools To the Editor; As a career teacher, I applaud the Virginia Education Association’s recommendation of Sue Scheer for Delegate from the 31st District. Teachers, students and parents don’t have anyone to represent them in Richmond, and Sue will fight for the resources and policies we need to give our children a sound education. Our current Delegate opposed dedicating lottery funds to education. Sue will support it. He supported cuts in education funding across the board for universities and K through 12. Sue opposes such cuts and gives education funding him pnomy. Sue’s opponent supported the Governor in foolishly turning down millions of dollars in federal funding from Goals 2000. Teachers know we need the funding to achieve those goals and make our children competitive. We know Goals 2000 is locally based and non-directive. We know 48 other States have opted in to Goals 2000 and Virginia’s tax payers have paid their share. Sue will work to get that money back. Sue’s opponent scorns the idea that the rural counties of the 31st District are being short changed on State funding of education because land is valued at its highest and best use in the composite index. If the lower “land use” tax base were used instead of the highest possible land value, our percentage of State funding could increase markedly. Sue is already studying the possibility. All tax payers should appreciate that. Sue’s opponent introduced charter school legislation to force local governments to use their thin budgets to support unaccredited schools and teachers. Sue would oppose such wasteful nonsense. Jay KaUen’s defenders say money can’t buy education. Maybe not, but education can be starved to death for lack of money, and if he had had his way last year, that would have happened.

BEV ATKINS and JAN PALMER Co-coordinators Dangerous Situation To the Editor: It’s been a wonderful experience to send my innocent five-year-old off to school to begin her education and enhance her social skills. However, on the first day of the fourth week of school, she brings home a letter that states a BB pistol was found on a student last week. We, as parents, were assured that the pistol never made it out of the bookbag, nor was anyone threatened or injured. Another student notified, and appropriate person and all was well. I applaud the child who stood up for the safety and well-being of the other students. But if the pistol never made it from the bookbag, how did another child know it was there? Even though it was in the bookbag, apparently it was either seen by Others or the guilty party bragged about it. Was this letter supposed to offer comfort to parents and other students? I personally don’t find any comfort or assurance in the fact that any weapon made it’s way into a school! If a BB pistol can be brought to school, so could a 357. Would other students be as brave about reporting to a teacher or administrator? Would they succumb to peer pressure or being threatened instead? Safety seems an afterthough here. Yes, the student is being handled by the “weapons policy,” but what about preventive policies? There are none! This isn’t a first-time occurrence in Rappahannock Schools; for several years this has been a growing problem. Are the consequences enough to make others fearful of repeating these actions? I’m beginning to think Singapore has the right idea; at least they have a lower crime rate. When weapons can make it from the home to the school bus, to the classroom there is plenty of room for danger to occur. All you have to do is pick up a newspaper to be assured that injury and even death occur when children have access to guns and otljer weapons. Who would be the first possible statistic? My child? Yours? Your grandchild? A teacher? An administrator? A bus driver? A brother or sister? Mother or father? An innocent visitor? What if another child picks up this gun that looks exactly like a toy in their minds? There is no safety in this situation for anyone! Where is the solution? Our society’s morals on a whole are going...going...almost gone. Where are the morals that some parents try so hard to instill in our children? What kind of social skills does this type of behavior instill in their peers? I don’t know what the solutions are, but what is taught and lived at home definitely has spme bearing on the long hard road of life ahead of todays children. “Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their lives.” (Prov. 22:6) What a challenge for today’s society. It’s an interesting fact that ex-communist Russia, now invites missionaries into their schools for the long-term benefit to their country. EDIE FALLS Woodville Support Katzen To the Editor: Jay Katzen has been getting plenty of criticism for his stand on the Disney project. I think some people ignore the thousands of jobs that would have I I been created by this project, and not just the jobs at the site itself. A considerable amount of business would have gone into the community, especially for retail businesses and the construction trades. These may not be the kinds of jobs the critics were looking for, but for those who work hard for a living, they were jobs that many would have been happy to have. Working people support Jay Katzen. ROBERT E.L. BRACEWF.LL Amissville Katzen Helped Scouts To the Editor: I first met Jay Katzen in 1985. I was a 14-year-old Senior Patrol Leader for Marshall Boy Scout Troop 177 and preparing for my second trip to Philmont Scout Ranch. Mr. Katzen headed the adult supervisory committee — the committee charged witH overseeing budgeting and planning for our troop. As Senior Patrol Leader 1 spent many evenings at Mr. Katzen’s home planning our trip to Philmont. In those meetings, Mr. Katzen taught me to understand that squandering hard earned dollars for short term gains only leads to finan- . cial ruin. In the years that followed, Mr. Katzen became an active adult leader, following all of us through our successes and pitfalls, offering congratulations and encouragement when needed. My Scouting days ended in 1987 upon my enlistment in the United State Marine Corps. However, Mr. Katzen remains involved in my life and those of my fellow Scouts. He still enjoys sharing in my personal accomplishments and problems with sincere interest and wise counsel. Del. Katzen’s involvement with youth is neither new nor politically motivated. JOHN B. NALLS Norfolk Fire Levy Is Desperately Needed To the Editor: There seems to be a lot of confusion as well as some bad feding about the new fire levy. 1 would like to take this opportunity to explain more exactly what the levy entails as well as the fairly drastic need for it. The fire and rescue companies of the county requested a total of $275,587 from the county to cover the Fire and Rescue Association budget, including small equipment upgrade and, for the first time, to cover operating expenses. The Fire and Rescue Association then suggested that the Board of Supervisors use the fire levy system already set up in the Code of Virginia to collect the monies to fund its request. The Board came back with a levy of three cents per $100 on assessed real estate (before land use values are applied) and a 20 cent per $100 increase on personal property tax. One of the facts that seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle is that the county was already (and had been for several years) allocating a two cent per $100 tax on assesed real estate (after land use values were applied) to the Fire and Rescue Association to cover insurance costs for all companies ($93,000), provide a small equipment upgrade allowance of $2,500 per company and leave a small amount to be used toward training and for radio maintenance. The additional one cent on real estate and 20 cents on personal property were needed to cover the request for operating expenses. No funds were requested nor allocated for any kind of large equipment purchase nor 'salaries of any sort. As an example: A one-cent increase on real estate assessed at $150,000 would only add $15 to the tax bill. A 20-cent increase on personal property assess at $3,000 would cost the tax payer an additional $6. The fire and rescue companies have managed to survive through donations and fund raisers for over fifty years, but things have changed. Equipment large and small has become incredibly expensive. The yearly payment for Flint Hill’s 1988 pumper was nearly equal to the camival’s net for one year (17,500). Amissville’s new rescue pumper will cost over $190,000. To properly outfit one firefighter costs about $3,000. This is but a small part of the problem, however. The big problem is personnel. As people have become much busier in their personal lives, the time and energy to devote to volunteer work has decreased. Demands for services have increased as have state mandates for training and recertification of fire and rescue personnel. Additionally, volunteers have to spend even more time on fund raising to help keep services available to our communities. This has been very tough on the volunteers. As with all volunteer organizations, there is a core group that carries the majority of the burden — fund raising, running calls, training, maintaining equipment and grounds. Because of these things if has become more and more difficult to recruit and retain volunteers to help shoulder this very important responsibility for the safety and welfare of our respective communities. It must be remembered that the same volunteers who help do all these things are taxpayers also / who receive no compensation at all. They just want to help their friends and neighbors in times of emergencies or whenever they just want a helping hand! One of the ideas that came out at the board meeting was that of going to a paid service. Talk about tax increase! To properly staff a paid department would cost $354,000 per year for personnel only. This figure does not include equipment, trucks, ambulances or a building. I hope this information has helped shed a little light on an always unpopular thing, a tax increase. The volunteers want to give every citizen of Rappahannock County the best service they can provide. As always, they are grateful for past support and look forward to further support. On behalf of the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association 1 thank the members of the Board of Supervisors for acting on a very tough problem and for helping us as always. Thank you! FRANK HUFF, President Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association t

All in a Row Jessica Estes, Katie Giles, Kaitlin Multan, Ashley Corbin and Shannon Mullan from the U-12 Rappahannock Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan girls' soccer team take a break during practice last Thursday. The girls will play their first game Saturday. League Soccer Starts The Rappahannock Soccer League’s season opened last Saturday. The first games of the season were deemed a success by parents, coaches, the League Commissioner, and, most importantly, the players. “It’s great to see all the smiles,” Commissioner, Bob Lucking said. The season opened with a bang for Rappahannock’s U12 soccer team as they defeated Culpeper “two” 4-2, Alexander Strange and Ryan Brown each scored two goals for Rappahannock. Head Coach, Lorinda Bosch, emphasized that teamwork was the primary reason for the victory. “We passed very well and set up some outstanding scoring opportunities. We got some great assists and solid defense. We’re all very pleased.” The U14 Rappahannock team lost 9-0 to a team from St. Lukes. The St. Lukes team is composed of half of a travel team that has played and practiced together all summer. Former League Commissioner Richard Price had to referee both games because there is a serious l&ck of soccer referees in the county. Mr. Price has taken steps to address this problem by offering to conduct a yetto-be-scheduled clinic for anyone interested in becoming a referee. “As far as I know, there are only three cif us,” Mr. Price said, “and with the growth of the league, the need of reft has grown too.” Mr. Price said getting certified requires attending a three-day course (cost: S25), but a certified ref can make good money on a weekend. Non-certified refs can do U6, U8, and U10 age games. Anyone interested in Finding out more about refereeing should < all Mr. Price at 987-9428. — By BOB HOWARD Youth Join Travel Teams Besides the more than 140 Rappahannock, youngsters playing in the Rappahannock Soccer League, several county youngsters are playing with “travel teams” from other counties. Eight boys, seven of whom are expected to be on the RCHS varsity team this spring, are on an under-18 team, the Culpeper Comets, This team, coached by Jim Johnson and Kenny Rogers, has Jesse Rogers, Mike Wolfe, Eddie Sause, Rodrigo Huidobro, Kenji Iwasa, Jim Clark, ' Tano Gome/ and Adam Kerr. Another group of Rappahannock youngsters are playing on the Culpeper Comets U-14 team including Adam Rogers, Steve Torrence, Meghan Fairbrother, Ryland Pace and Matt Wolfe. Many of them are expected to be stars in the new JV soccer team this spring. Both these teams posted victories this past Sunday. Michael Fairbrother and Ralph Pace are playing with a U-10 travel team, and Sky and Nile Watson arid Sean Torrence are playing with still other travel teams. Hamer Teams Compete By BOB HOWARD Rappahannock News StafT Writer The Rappahannock County High School Cross Country teams ran in the Woodberry Forest Invitational meet last weekend. The boys finished eleventh of fourteen teams, and the girls placed ninth out of eleven teams. Boys’ Captain, Mark Jenkins finished tenth overall, with an impressive time of 17:59. Eddie and Chris Sause finished 31st and 34th with times of 18:52 and 19:01 respectively. Jennings Hobson, the 68th finisher, crossed the line in an even 20:00. Mike Wolfe finished a second behind him in 69th place. The Rappahannock Girls were led by Holly Gangel who placed fourteenth with a time of 22:02. Jessica Gheen finished in 22:59 which landed her in 31st place. Caroline Baumgardner, Lauren Sharp and Myriam Latheuil came in 50th, 51st and 54th place respectively. Rappahannock Coach, Dave van de Graaff knew that this race would be a test. “Any time you get into a race like this where you have lots of teams running, it helps to have your kids run in a- pack. That way they all finish about the same time, which helps your score. Unfortunately for us, we don’t run that way.” Candice Dennis won the Developmental race with a time of 19:47. Rappahannock placed third of eight teams in the Developmental race. The cross country team is next at an away meet at Strasburg this Wednesday. They will open at home in a meet with Strasburg, Brentsville, Clarke County and Page County next Wednesday, Sept. 27. Basketball Woes Continue The Rappahannock High School Girls Basketball teams suffered through more defeats this past week. Last Thursday at home against Stonewall Jackson, the JV fell 42-8, and a last-second Stonewall bucket in the Varsity game made the final 81-14. On Tuesday, Rapphannock hosted Page County. The JV fell 37-15 and Varsity dropped a 57-27 decision. The brightest light for either team to this point in the season has been the superlative play of eighth grader Sonya Wigington. Sonya is the starting point guard for the JV team, and, if she were eligible to play varsity, would start for them. When Sonya, who is in her first season of organized basketball, realizes that she is the most talented JV player in the Bull Run District, you will want to be there to see her terrorize the poor opposing team. Once her teammates learn to expect the no-look pass, and she learns to protect her dribble a little better, Sonya and this JV team should takeoff. Against Stonewall, she scored all eight Panther points. In the Page game, she scored eleven points, assisted on the other two Panther baskets, grabbed six rebounds and had six steals. Kylene Wolfe led the varsity in scoring against Stonewall. She hit two three pointers and finished the night with seven points. Jennifer Woodard hit a three pointer and Dawn Havstad and Tomeka Washington each scored two points. Iri the Page game, Cari Kerr led the way with seven points, four blocked shots, two steals, and eight rebounds. Kylene Wolfe hit two three pointers to account for her six points on the evening. Havstad and Tomeka Washington scored four points each, and Jennifer Woodard, Larisa Roberts and Sarah Gentry each made a bucket. The Panthers will look for their first win of the season this Thursday at Strasburg. WCDS Fall Sports Underway Wakefield County Day School’s girl’s varsity volleyball team swept Notre Dame 15-2, 15-10, 15-9 in their season opener. Anna Hickson led the Wakefield scoring with 8 kills and an ace. Kristin Hickson (6 kills, 2 aces), Laura Beeton, (5 kills, 2 aces) and Larissa Woloshyu (5 kills) also excelled for WCDS. The WCDS boy’s soccer team also defeated Notre Dame at home in its first game of the season. WCDS got five goals from David Brandt to take the game 7-3. Brandt broke out with four goals in the first half and WCDS led 4-3 at the break. In the second half, Tim Burke and John Kushman each scored for WCDS and goalkeeper Yogi Sulistyo held Notre Dame scoreless. The WCDS Cross-Country team kicked off their regular season with a conference meet at Notre Dame Academy. The girls squad placed third of eight teams. Bridget Hickson (24:36) and Kristin Hickson (24:36.5) were the first finishers for WCDS, Peter Hickson was the first runner on the WCDS boys team to complete the course. He crossed the line in 21:57. «• Turns Impulses Into Ideas f Making advanced communications simple. Turning technology into useful tools. For your home. Your work. Your life.

BIG APPLE CIRCUS IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATION By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Belle Meade Camp in Sperryville was the site for a very excited group of handicapped adults for the last two weeks. The campers are residents from Culpeper, Madison, Fauquier and Orange counties, who participate in the day program “Bridges,” sponsored by the Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board. Mike Smith is the coordinator of the day program. None of the campers had been on any kind of summer vacation. Mr. Smith was looking for a camp which he could afford to send his group using money he received from an Easter Seals grant. One camp told him that he could afford to send just two campers for the amount of money he had to spend. He then met with Susan Hoffman, proprietor of Belle Meade Camp in Sperryville, and asked if she could develop a program, which she did. During the two weeks, everyone spent three hours or so at the camp, arriving on vans around 10:45 a.m. Different activities were planned, including nature walks, drawing, swimming in the pool, and a trip to the Hughes River for a picnic lunch. They also did some hay bale jumping. Ms. Hoffman also had help from Michael Biniek and Lynne Barfield as camp staff. In the first week, Ms. Hoffman said that only one or two went in the pool, but by the last day of the second week, all but one had been in the pool. An especially exciting moment was when Junior Strother entered the pool. He is 41 years old, confined to a wheelchair, and had never been in water before. He was obviously thrilled.

ARB Approves Applications By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Frances and Charles Eldred, who plan to open a new business in town on Main Stfeet, Mrs. CoxCs Tavern, received unanimous approval from the ARB for the renovations they plan for the building. They will be removing the concrete steps which now extend out onto the sidewalk in front of their building. They will also be changing some six ovef nine windows to six over six because, said Mr. Eldred, six over Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR WHY SELL THROUGH US? If you are a home seller, you may ask yourself whether it is worth the expense of having a real estate professional involved in the transaction. You may think you’re saving money by doing it yourself, but you could be biting off more than you can chew. Forfeiting professional help means depriving yourself of an array of services that can make a sale go considerably more smoothly. In a recent survey, more than three-quarters of the people who used a real estate broker to sell their home felt the commission they paid was "money well spent." On the other hand, the great majority of those who sold their homes on their own were firmly decided against ever doing it that way again. Sellers who use our office save themselves the time and inconvenience of showing their home to prospects — many of whom are not really interested or do not have enough money. We, however, prequalify potential buyers before showing them a home. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please stop in at EILEEN M.

Mr. Eldred had planned on using a recycled plastic material for the shutters, but ARB member Donna Kevis reminded him that shutters are required to be made of wood. He said that he would do them in wood. Mr. Eldred abstained from voting on the application. Phyllis Marriott of the FosterHarris House received approval from the board to change the color of her house to a cream color. The trim will be a dark green and the roof will remain red. Mary Ann Kuhn of the Middleton Inn asked for approval of a white oval sign which will be lettered in dark hunter green. She plans for it to say “Middleton Inn, Circa 1850.” She also wishes to light the sign, and Chairman Ed Barton suggested she light it from the ground below it. She also received approval for some outside post lamps for a walkway to the “slave quarters.” Approval was also granted for her to build a three board horse fence, which will be painted white. Mr. Barton said, “I feel that white board fence is appropriate as long as it is maintained.” There will also be a white picket fence built around the “slave quarters,” two to three feet high. When Ms. Kuhn brought up the idea of adding shutters to the summer kitchen, some members questioned the appropriateness of the shutters on that building. To have shutters on the windows as well as the front door would be “overkill,” said Mrs. Kevis. They agreed Ms. Kuhn would first install the shutter on the door and then decide if shutters on the windows would be needed. ARB member Dwight Matthews abstained from voting on this application. The board voted to accept the street lights chosen for the town. They are hoping to have a color corrected bulb for the lights when installed but don’t know if Potomac Edison will supply that kind of bulb. Mr. Barton said that the Town Council had already voted on the lights and that he didn’t see grounds for the ARB to reject them. After much discussion, the board decided that applications filed two weeks before an ARB meeting would definitely be heard at that meeting, but anything filed after would not be guaranteed to be heard at the meeting. The members would vote at the meeting whether they would hear the application that night or not, depending on whether they feel they have had time enough to review the application, and/or visit the property if they need to in order to see what is in the application. Mr. Barton said he would like to initiate a program whereby the ARB awards a plaque to people who have done an exceptional job with their house. “It shows someone has gone to a lot of trouble to put it back the way it was,” he said. In Charleston, he said, it is a “big deal” when people have a plaque on their house, and Alexandria is contemplating doing it too. Mr. Eldred suggested they take the idea to the Town Council. Mr. Eldred said he noticed the Middle St. Gallery had received a new paint job recently, and no application was made to the ARB. Mr. Barton said he will speak with the owner of the building, Sharon Labovitz.

Applications for Inns Win Council Nod By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer “There’s life in this old town yet,” Councilman Ray Gooch said of two applications Town Council considered last Wednesday. Frances and Charles Eldred had applied for a special use permit to operate Mrs. Coxe’s Tavern, a restaurant and gathering place in their house, and The Inn at Little Washington had applied for a special use permit to expand the hotel portion of their business by increasing the number of rooms for overnight guests from 10 to 12. Mrs. Eldred said she wanted to “reopen what is probably the oldest and longest running commercial property.” She said there is evidence her house was used as an inn and tavern for 200 years from 1750 through 1950. “During the 18th Century as today the tavern was a restaurant,” she said. “Travelers and locals came for a hearty meal and libation. They sat and smoked and had conversation. We will carry on that tradition, but there will be a non-smoking area.” She said in the 18th century the tavern had to provide shelter and food for horses and space for carriages and coaches. The 10 off-street parking places will be located in.the area where the original stables were, she said. Wendy Weinberg said, “1 know the patrons of the theatre would like to have a place to go after a performance.” She said Washington is like many English villages, “but any English village would have at least two pubs.” Reinhardt Lynch noted that 85 percent of the town’s budget comes from the tax on meals and lodging. “We don’t have to tax anyone else,” he said. “They are not asking us to supply any infrastructure,and at the end of the month Fran and Charlie are going to send us a check.” Steve Critzer’s motion to approve the application pending approval from the Health Department and VDOT passed unanimously. When the council took up the application from the Inn at Little Washington, Mr. Lynch stepped down since he was an applicant. “I feel Mr. Mayor you have a financial interest in our business and should step down because of the amount of rent we pay you. We pay enough rent to create the semblance of a conflict of interest.” Mayor Willis said, “If I step down, there will only be three people left.” Treasurer Tom Zumwalt and councilman Peter Skowronski were absent. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said, “As long as there was a quorum to start with” the mayor could step down and the council could go ahead with the application. So Mayor Willis stepped down. That left Mr. Gooch, Charlie Tompkins and Mr. Critzer sitting on the council. Mr. Reynolds said the council would only be considering the application for two more hotel rooms. He said The Inn would also be expanding the kitchen, but John McCarthy, who acts as the town’s zoning administrator, had decided that addition would not require council action. Mr. Reynolds said Mr. McCarthy NEED MONEY? You can refinance your mortgage without a penny out-of-pocket:! Consolidate Your Debts Refinance NOW! Rates just dropped! • Home Improvement • Debt Consolidation • Cash-Out Low Fixed Rates! Qualify Over the Phone^ 100% Financing Available for Purchasing 95% Financing Available for Construction -Permanent had decided since the original application had not specified the number of rooms, the original application, which was for 10 rooms should be considered what was permitted. Mr. Gooch questioned the council’s jurisdiction. He said since the zoning ordinance did not specify the number or rooms allowed in a hotel, and since the original special use permit did not limit the number or rooms, the applicant should not have been put through the process of applying for another special use permit. Mr. Reynolds said he agreed with Mr. McCarthy’s interpretation, that the number of rooms originally applied for was the number approved. “As a zoning practice, that’s a good way to do it,” he said. “I’m not saying we should lie down in the street and wait to get run over by Marriott,” Mr. Gooch said. “It should be referred to the Planning Commission.” He made a motion to send the application back to Mr. McCarthy with a note that it did not require a special use permit. No one seconded his motion. Mr. Tompkins asked Mr. Reynolds if he would be comfortable defending his and Mr. McCarthy’s interpretation if it were challenged, and Mr. Reynolds said he would. There was more discussion, but eventually the council considered the application itself. Mr. Lynch said, “I wish I had 200 years of history, but we only have 18 years.” Mr. Barton asked, “It doesn’t seem to me that council has a very hard decision to make....Are there any complaints from town. Are two more rooms over the kitchen going to destroy something. If there are no real complaints, why can’t you go ahead and give them their permit.” Mr. Eldred said, “Mrs. Coxe would welcome that many more guests for lunch.” Mr. Tompkins and Mr. Critzer voted to approve the application and Mr. Gooch abstained. ► Council From Page A-l billed to the churches, seven are billed to the county and 43 are billed to the town. Eighteen new locations are proposed for the lights. Mr. Eldred also proposed that a light be installed at the entrance to the fire hall and that the one at the entrance to Spring Mountain School be moved so the light is on the street. Mr. Eldred said this plan would provide more even light in the streets. He said that for years people have complained that the town is not well enough lit, but he expects that once the new lights, which provide twice as much light are installed, people will complain of too much light. “You will immediately hear from everyone who lives within 50 feet of a light asking you to take this light out and leave the rest. You should not consider any changes for at least six months to let people get used to a new level of light,” he said. Treasurer Tom Zumwalt was absent from the meeting.

Mr. Baumgardner said he would, “If you let me go first.” Member Charles Tompkins reported on plans for Colonial Christmas that it will be a one-day event on December 9. RAAC is organizing the vent. Council approved paying RAAC $1,000, $700 fir greens and $300 for other expenses of the event. Council also approved appropriating $1,338 for a reprinting of the brochure put out by the business council. Frances Eldred reported that the spring printing of the brochure was very popular and all copies are now gone, just before the busiest part of the tourist season. She said paying for the brochure is difficult for some of the small businesses in town. Reprinting will cost $2,177 for 10,000 copies and $2,783 for 15,000 copies. The business council will pay for the rest of the cost for the additional printing. The committee looking at the future of the town will meet with the owners of the Inn at Little Washington next. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Sen. Charles Robb talks with Walter Day at the party. Fundraiser Successful By FRAN MOORE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer HUME — More than 500 enthusiastic boosters turned out last Sunday at the home of Frederick and Lindy Hart for a bipartisan fund-raiser to support House of Delegates’ Candidate Sue Scheer’s race for the 31st District Seat. Many well known political figures were in attendance. Guests of honor were Sen. Charles Robb, Lt. Gov. Don Beyer, former Senator Eugene McCarthy, former Del. A! Smith from Winchester and John Gibbons, science advisor to President Clinton. The theme of speeches given by both Sen. Robb and Lt. Gov. Beyer centered on the importance of education in Virginia. They said the present delegate. Jay Katzen, failed to promote or support public education and failed to help protect the environment. Candidate Sue Scheer spoke of the importance of a bipartisan effort to maintain higher standards for education, preserve clean air and water, and assure jobs for young people, all contributing to an effort to prevent crime. “Ours has been a positive campaign and it will continue to be. Voters know that we stand for the best elementary and secondary education we can afford; that we want strong community colleges; that we want to maintain the best higher education system in American and one our students can afford; that we believe in compassionate welfare reform; that we can take a sensible not a political approach to crime; that we can provide good job opportunities for your young people; that agriculture will remain a mainstay in our economy; and that clean air and clean water are vital to our future.” Red Cross Offers Courses The Culpeper Chapter of the American Red Cross is offering Adult CPR and Standard First Aid classes at the office at 117 S.

Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News CountrySide Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1995 Bison Sale Comes to Rappahannock County By ROBIN EARL Times Newspapers Staff Writer Haif a dozen or so men worked diligently Thursday at The Shade ranch: They hauled rough planks of oneand-an-eighth-inch oak and nailed them to tall posts to make double layer holding pens. They were readying The Shade for an unusual event — the arrival of nearly 70 bison. Construction was still going on Friday and Saturday. Several bison were sold Saturday afternoon in an auction, the featured activity of The Shade’s Big Bison Event sponsored by BisonEAST, an organization founded by Harold Thrower whose wife owns The Shade. Bison ranchers from states east of the Mississippi River sent some of I—---_ . their animals, travelling hundreds of miles to participate in the bison showcase. Sunday activities included a dance by Cherokee Indians from North Carolina. On Saturday and Sunday there were booths set up. Whitefeather Bison from Wadsworth, Ohio, provided a grill for bison burgers. Venus bakery supplied baked goods and coffee, which was welcome as rain fell for the first time in months, and some people unprepared for the weather felt chilled. V.A. Supply Company from Locust Grove had a booth to showcase their reproduction clothing for Civil War reenacters and others interested in period costumes. The Trading Post arranged archery competitions with varied tar One of the bison calves is not fazed by the camera. gets. Successful archers could win hunting clothing from the Trading Post. Cherokee crafts were on display and for sale. Also for sale besides the actual bison were supplies for a farmer getting into raising bison, including mineral supplements and gates. The Throwers kept some of the bison brought to the event to form the nucleus of a herd they will keep at The Shade. They are enthusiastic at the prospect. “We will have about^0 head,” said Thrower, “a mix of yearlings that we want to develop and two-year-olds for breeding.” The Throwers have been raising cattle for several years, but Thrower said he felt the couple needed another option. Research led them to bison. He explained that bison offer big advantages over cattle — they are easier to raise and produce a greater profit. “Bison forage — they will eat almost anything, including sticks or weeds, bushes or shrubs. Cows won’t eat weeds. Bison grow faster and heavier, too,” he said. At the marketplace, bison meat demands a much higher price, said Mr. Thrower. Ground meat costs about $5 a pound; bison filet mignon steaks are priced up to $24 a pound. Mr. Thrower reasoned, “Why would 1 choose to take a six-monthold cow calf to market at 400-450 pounds to get 75 to 80 cents a pound, when I could bring a six-month-old bison calf to market at 700 pounds and get $1.60 to $1.70 a pound?” Music From the '40s Coming A musical tribute to the 1940s is an enjoyable way to participate in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. “The Fabulous Forties” brings popular songs and entertainment of that decade to The Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30. The music of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, and Cole Porter will be heard throughout the evening. It is as well loved today as it was 50 years ago. But the sweetly sentimental music of Ivor Novello’s “We’ll Gather Lilacs in the Spring Again” is probably best known by those who were young during the -ft war years, as is the tuneful but dated song “Ac-cen-tchu-ate the Positive.” Three versatile and well known musicians, soprano Rosa Lamoreaux, tenor Charles Williams, and pianist Betty Bullock, return to the Theatre where they were heard in operetta earlier in the year. Mr. Williams made his operatic debut at the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy, and his Metropolitan Opera debut in the role of Sportin’ Life in Porgy and Bess. The Washington Post said he “always sells a song as if his life depended on it, and it’s always a toss-up deciding whether his singing or acting is better.” Ms. Lamoreaux has given recitals in Europe and Brazil as well as the United States. She has been critically acclaimed for her performances at Bach festivals in Pennsylvania, California and Germany. Ms. Bullock has appeared on national television with singers Paul Phishka and Gary Lakes, and with violinist Issac Stern at last year’s Kennedy Center Honors. Tickets for the program are $13.50 with reservation, $15 at the door. Children’s admission is half price. For reservations, or to obtain a schedule of the Theatre’s new season, phone 675-1253. McCarthy To Discuss County By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Thomas Jefferson was a firm believer in the “right of self-government.” He reminds us that “whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” On Oct. 6, Friday Night at the Library will present a program that is particularly timely. In November we will be actively participating in the process of self-government as we go to the polls to select local and state leaders who will serve, we trust, the best interests of our community. This year has provided unusual challenges for those responsible for governing Rappahannock County. The forces of nature have added to local problems as we experienced severe flooding followed by a rare period of drought. How does County Government respond to such emergencies? How well are we being served or otherwise affected by local, state and federal agencies? How ‘interdependent” have we become? We haven’t found many of our fellow citizens who truly understand how the County Government serves those of us who pay the taxes. So we asked John McCarthy if he would enlighten us. He graciously agreed. He will explain “How County Government Functions” from the overall perspective of his office as County Administrator. Some incumbent officials who are unopposed on the November ballot will also be present to respond to questions that involve their special areas of responsibility. John McCarthy has held the position of County Administrator since July of 1988. He graduated Cum Laude from Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg and earned the degree of Master of Planning from University of Virginia in 1986. He enjoys living in Rappahannock County with his wife, Susan, and their four children. In addition to his primary duties he also serves the community on the Board of Trustees of the Public Library, as a Director of Child Care and Learning Center and a Gallery To Show Watercolors The next exhibit at the Middle Street Gallery will be “Travels with i Paintbox,” a retrospective of watercolor paintings by Douglas H. reller. Mr. Teller is a professor of graphcs and design at George Washington University. His work has been exhibted widely and has been included in exhibitions at the Corcoran Gallery ind the Smithsonian Institution imong many others. The exhibit at Middle Street Uallery will run concurrently with a ihow of Mr. Teller’s new Virginia landscapes at the Arts Club of Washington, D.C. A reception for the artist is planned at Middle Street Gallery from 3 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 1. The retrospective will be on view from September 29 through October 22. Middle Street Gallery is an artistrun, non-profit cooperative.The gallery is handicapped accessible. It is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For information about the current exhibition or upcoming shows and events call the gallery at 675-3440. Member of the Social Services Board in Rappahannock County. As always, the program at the Library at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 6 is admission free. Refreshments will follow the Q and A session. Marshall Program In Arlington “Stories from the Dust in the Corner,” the multi-media dance/drama by Rappahannock County’s Laurie Marshall and collaborators, the Song Sweepers, will be performed at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30 in the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, 4444 Arlington Boulevard. The performance is a celebration of the richness and choices of life’s end. It was recently performed by the five children, five adult troop in San Francisco for the National Hospice Convention. There will be time for the audience to share their stories of loss and renewal after the 50-minute production. The book form of “Dust” will also be available. A selection of Marshall’s paintings is on exhibit through the month of October at the Unitarian Church. Advance tickets are S6 Mid $8 at the door. The public is also invited to a lasagna dinner at 6 p.m. for $5. Call (703) 892-2565 for reservation. The Church is located at the comer of U.S. 50 and S. George Mason Drive. “Dust” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. at Rappahannock County High School on Oct. 27 and 28. Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Auctioneer Paul Coleman, right, takes bids as buyers try to stay dry under umbrellas. The rarity of bison meat is only one reason the price is high. Mr. Thrower says that bison beef contains three percent fat and is a low-cholesterol food; It also offers a third more protein and has only half the calories. Although the taste is very similar to beef from a cow, bison meat is consistently tender. Bill Tucci of the 1880 Buffalo Ranch in Hartville, Ohio said that leaders in the buffalo industry have been careful to offer only the best quality meat to the public, to pique interest and keep consumers coming back. “We are selling nothing but prime meat from animals that are 18 to 24 months old, for the prime cuts. Any animal older than 30 months is ground Jbr hamburger,” he said. 1 ^liff Lewin of Culpeper cooks bison burgers and roasts. Photo courtesy of Richard Squires Marilyn Boyd DeReggi as the Mad Furies and Howard Coon as Apollvon will appear in the world premier of‘The Fall of Albion' at The Theatre Saturday. Coon's Role Is 'Different' By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt SUIT Writer Preparing for this Saturday’s performance in the premiere of Suite from the opera “The Fall of Albion” and his role as narrator in Stravinsky’s “L’Histoire du Soldat” had been an experience with several firsts for Rappahannock’s Howard Coon. “This is a different experience. It’s fun and invigorating,” he said. In “Albion” Mr. Coon will sing the baritone role as Apollyon, a satyr, half man and half goat. Mezzo soprano Marilyn Boyd will play the Mad Furies. Richard Squires, the author and composer of the opera has been working on the piece for 15 years, Mr. Coon said. A CD has been cut of the work, but it has not been widely distributed. This will be the first time any of it has been seen on stage. The Arlie Players and the two singers are 1 presenting the Suite from the middle book of the opera, he said. In the Stravinsky piece, Mr. Coon as narrator will be reading rather than acting and singing, but he will be portraying several characters with different voices. Mr. Coon said he first appeared on stage in a role that involved some singing in “Next Year, Jerusalem" by Carla Theodore. “It’s wonderful for me to be opening on native ground,” he said, of having the concert in the same theater. He has also had singing roles in the Ki Theatre Christmas plays, but “I’ve never done opera work,” he said. < This is also the first time he has worked with trained classical musicians or with other performers who are all “full-time professionals,” he said. “It’s very different from community theatre.” He said it has also been “interesting and gratifying" to work with Mr. Squires, the author. “He’s very knowledgeable about mythology.” Monday was the first time the group had the opportunity to practice with the conductor who will lead them. “He has a defined sense of how to work with the music and musicians,” Mr. Coon said. The pace of rehearsals has picked up as the concert date neared. “It’s been fast and furious these part few weeks," Mr. Coon said. His wife Jules Coon and Kim Doyle have done the costumes.

"Healthy Apple Recipes To Spice Up Your Life By HELEN W. SMITH Exfeaftioii Agent. Home Economic* Most of us would agree that an un-adomed apple is a perfect snack food. It’s only about 80 calories per medium apple, contains some vitamin G and potassium, and has only a trace of fat. Also, Mother Nature’s addition of pectin makes the apple a rich source of soluble fiber, a known-cholesterol reducer. We humans, because we love to cook, are usually the culprits when it comes to turning a plain, unadorned apple into something “unhealthy” by / the addition of fat, sugar, and other calorie-laden toppings. So, when you get that snackattack and have a craving for something sweet, look for recipes that substitute a cereal-based crust or topping in place of the normal high-fat pastry. An apple crisp, for example, with an oatmeal or cereal topping doesn’t have zero calories, but it’s better than a slice of apple pie with regular pastry. In many recipes, you can substitute applesauce for part of all of the oil if you’re making muffins or quick breads. In a lot of recipes you can simply use less or about half die sugar to make it lower in calories. The following recipes are not zero in calories, but they have been adjusted to reduce the amount of sugar, fat, oil, and calories to make then “health HOME ECONOMICS ier” for people who are on special diets like diabetic, low-cholesterol, low-sodium and for those of us who simply need to trim those extra calories.

Box 26943 Richmond, Virginia 23261 (804) 643-2725 DATE OF VIOLATION: JULY 1995 DAINGERFIELD PUBLIC NOTIFICATION FECAL COLIFORME/E. COLI PRESENCE We have been advised by State Health Officials that we failed to meet the bactenologica! water quality standard as set forth in the Commonwealth of Virginia Waterworks Regulations for the month of July, 1995. This PMCL exceedance occurred because three (3) routine samples and three (3) repeat samples collected from the distribution system indicated the presence of total conform bacteria with one of the repeat samples indicating the presence of fecal conform bacteria The presence of fecal conform bacteria in one or more routine samples followed by conform or fecal coiiform positive repeat samples is an acute violation of the bacteriological water quality standard The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets drinking water standards and has determined that the presence of fecal coiiform or E coli is a serious health concern Fecal ooliform or E. coli are generally not harmful 80 * Legal Notices themselves but their presence in drinking water is serious because they usually are associated with sewage or animal waste. The presence of these bacteria in drinking water is generally a result of a problem with water treatment or pipes which distribute water, and indicates that the water may be contaiminated with organisms that can cause disease. Disease symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possibly jaundice, and associated headaches and fatigue. These symptoms, however, are not just associated with diseasecausing organisms in drinking water. E PA has set an enforceable drinking water standard for fecal coliform or E. coli to reduce the risk of these adverse health effects. Drinking water which meets this standard is usually not associated with a health risk from disease-causing bacteria and should be considered safe. Three (3) of the five (5) routine samples collected on 13 July 1995 tested positive for coliform bacteria. Following receipt of these results, ten repeat samples were collected from the distribution system on 18 July 1995. Two (2) of the ten tested positive for coliform bacteria but negative for fecal coliform bacteria and another tested positive for coliform bacteria and fecal coliform bacterja. In addition, one sample each was collected from the well, pressure tank and storage tank. The sample collected from the storage tank tested positive for coliform bacteria but negative for fecal coliform bacateria. Subsequently the system was disinfected and continuous chlorination was installed. Six (6) additional samples were collected from the distribution system and one sample each was collected from the storage and pressure tank on 25 July 1995. All samples tested negative for total coliform bacteria. To confirm that coliform bacteria was no longer present in your drinking water, five (5) routine samples were collected from the distribution system on 8 August 1995. All five samples tested negative for total coliform bacteria. Further failures of this type, however minor, will be reported to you as required by Federal and Slate waterworks regulations aimed at increasing your awareness of conditions that exist in public water systems.

’Chasing Celebrates 100th Jump Game Races Ahead By BETSY BRANSCOME Times Comaraaity Newspapers Staff Writer Just as the leaves begin to turn an artist’s palette of burnt umber, amber and flame red, the chill of the morning air foretells autumn games for a range of sportsmen. Some see the fall as time for college football and raucous fraternity brawls. Others look forward to dove and deer hunting season — a marrying of solidtude, marksmanship and al fresco canned goods. Still others long to hear the huntsman’s horn, tri-colored hounds harking to his shrill cries in the morning stillness as they trace an invisible trail left by crafty Reynard. Yet, the announcer’s call of “They’re Off!” and the thunder of hooves racing for the finish line appeals to sportsmen and women of all types. Steeplechasing is an integral part of the Virginia autumn, and the turning of the leaves is a sure sign that the time is right for jumping. As the sport of American steeplechasing enters its second century, she is most like the grande dame of the manor.

Prior to its birth in the United States, the sport had its origins in 1752 Ireland, where, legend has it, two foxhunting sportsmen wagered on a cross-country race from steeple to church steeple, jumping obstacles found en route to the makeshift finish wire. Though the flavor of sportsmanship and intensity have been retained from those auspicious beginnings, today’s organized, sanctioned racing has little otherwise in common with the fly-bynight jaunts across hill and dale See Intro, Page 15 MID-COUNTY Serving the community for over 10 years FREE DELIVERY (10 Bag Min) On Our Local Delivery Routes.

Serena’s Music Softly Sweet Balloon Lifts Spirits Aloft By JENNIFER BURKE Times Community Newspapers Special Writer Feature Event For The Horses My headset was heavy with sweat when I heard the director’s voice crackle down the line, “Okay, we’re 20 seconds from network. Roll music. Roll slow-mo shot of Serena’s Song in winner’s circle. “Good job guys. Okay stand by ... we’re out in 10...9...8...Nice work.

I said “Good job” to our host Dave Johnson, and he flickered a smile in my direction. He turned back to face the race track crowd and began the arduous task of signing autographs in the 95 degree July heat.

Morven Starts $1 Million ’Chase By BETSY BRANSCOME Tines Community Newspapers Staff Writer The going rate for a professional steeplechase jockey is 10 percent of the purse earned by their mount, if the horse wins. The same goes for racehorse trainers. It is a certain bet for racegoers, then, that there will be only wellprepared runners and hard-riding jockeys in the $1 million Sport of Kings novice hurdle series, a group of five races that begins Oct. 14 at the Morven Park Steeplechase. For the third time in its nineyear history, the challenge makes the first of its five whistle-stops at Leesburg’s Morven Park for the $35,000 Arthur McCashin Supreme Hurdle. Racing fans are sure to see great racing and tremendous racecourse efforts in the series, with more than $1.2 million up for grabs through purses and bonus money. In the 1992 series, Kay JefTordsl^Eonesome Glory won the novice championship and became the first horse to complete a U.S.British hurdling double while trained stateside. He was awarded a $75,000 bonus for his victories in that year’s second Sport of Kings leg at Far Hills, N.J. and in the fourth of five series events at Cheltenham, England. The novice victory accounted for Lonesome’s first Eclipse award, and the champion proved he’s not a fly-by-nigh! — the chestnut gelding was also the Eclipse winner in 1993 and is favored to repeat this year. Graduates of the series are considered the cream of the crop of the current stakes division. Open only non-winners over hurdles prior to June 1, 1994, a series horse may have run any number of years in a multitude of races before then, but must not have won over hurdles before last summer. The richness of the purse structure in each event is such that entry fees and starting fees are Times Community Newspapers Staff Photo/Betsy Branscome The Sport of Kings series was founded by entrepreneur and former champion amateur George Sloan.

Horses also can have won multiple races since the novice date, but winners of races other than maiden, claiming or starter handicaps are penalized with extra weight to carry on the otherwise weight-for-age scale. Three races in the U.S. join a pair at Cheltenham, England to crown the champion novice hurdler on two shores — including the birthplace (Great Britain) and the cradle (America) of hurdle racing, as it were. The $ 1 million goes to the superhorse capable of winning two of the three races here in the U.S. and .both Gloucestershire starts — a feat not yet accomplished. The winner of one race in the U.S. and one in England will receive a bonus of. $50,000. The first race in the series is the rich Arthur McCashin Supreme Hurdle stake, contested at 2 1/4 miles over Morven Park’s gently rolling, irrigated course. Though the late summer (effectively the training season for autumn ‘chasers) was bone dry, the thorough watering system on that course will play a big hand in attracting the nation’s top young young hurdle stars to highlight the card at the Leesburg event. Runners will travel 14 days later to the Oct. 28, Far Hills meeting in New Jersey for the second leg of the series. The Foxbrook Supreme Hurdle is 2 1/2 miles for $50,000.

► Serena From Page 5 They were not disappointed on that muggy Sunday as Serena’s Song trounced a field that included Derby, Preakness and Belmont contenders. She powered though the stretch, increasing her lead with every quickening stride. She won by two lengths, as easy as she liked. The magnificent bay graced the winner’s circle — poised like a fashion model, playing to the cameras and acknowledging her public. The racing fans on the Jersey Shore were not disappointed that day. However, many in attendance saw the show but missed its message. There was another Serena’s Song just across the street from the track that would carry the hopes and dreams of far more than horseplayers that day. Feature Event For All Of Us I climbed down from the rickety wooden television platform, weaved my way through the dwindling crowd and headed for the front gates of Monmouth Park. As 1 walked across the press parking lot, Salty Roberts, a bornagain Christian evangelist who has become as much a part of life at Monmouth as the racing itself, called over to me: “Bless ya darlin’.” 1 smiled and waved and con tinued my trek across the road, over the railroad tracks and through the vacant playing fields. And there she was, like some mythical beast — forty feet tall and brilliant blue. She reflected the slowly setting sun and the smiles of all in attendance. As we watched, the “other” Serena’s Song lifted off the ground like a fog in early May — quietly, gently, softly carrying its wheelchair-bound passengers to heights never before imagined. The crowd cheered, just as they had for another Serena’s Song in the Haskell an hour earlier. * The hot air balloon Serena’s Song made many trips that peaceful afternoon, as she does yearround, coming down to unload and patiently reload the next wheelchair. She is the brainchild of craftsman, father and humanist Gary Waldman of Correctionville, Iowa. His idea was born with daughter Serena, 11 years ago. It was designed specifically for his daughter Serena but for others as well, to allow their wheelchairs into her basket, to carry them into the blue beyond. In less than a minute, Serena’s Song set spirits free in the Jersey sky — children who were incapable of walking soared to ethereal heights in her specially designed basket. Serena’s Song the horse. Serena’s Song the hot-air balloon. I stood in wonderment and lost all merit as an effective journalist that day. I tried taking photographs, but salty tears clouded my vision. 1 tried to delicately interview some parents of the disabled children in line to ride the balloon, but the few times 1 was able to ask a question without choking up, the loving parents were not able to answer fearlessly. Serena’s Song, the balloon, lifted all up with her that day, even those of us who never left the ground. Gary Waldman is a proud father. His 11-year-old daughter Serena overcame extraordinary odds to be alive today. At birth she was pronounced dead, revived and then nearly died Photo by Jennifer BuiVe A young girl and her mother beam after their ride on Serena’s Song. again. She suffered damage to her brain and has been confined to a wheelchair since. Her father said, “If she wanted to continue in this struggle for life, then 1 would do everything I could to give her a valuable life.” Waldman has gone far beyond his call of duty. He made Serena’s life valuable; doing so motivating and inspiring others with handicaps. He did this by constructing a hot air balloon designed from the ground up to accommodate wheelchairs. He named the balloon “Serena’s Song,” for his daughter, and made his intentions clear. “1 want to take Serena’s Song to every city and every town that has passengers who need this kind of lift. 1 won’t be satisfied until everyone has their chance,” he said. Serena’s Song is the only aircraft of its kind in the world, a very special and very expensive project. Due to the excessive costs for construction, purchase of equipment and shipping the balloon and basket, Waldman originally went more than $30,000 in debt. When asked about his private funding, he told an Iowa TV station, “God, we hope that somebody will find us. We’re not ready to give up.” As if by magic, his plea was heard and answered in 1994 by California husband and wife team Robert and Beverly Lewis, the owners of the “other” Serena’s Song, the horse. It seems that destiny had a hand in the flaming of their magnificent Rahy filly when they decided to call her Serena’s Song three years ago. When the Lewises heard about Waldman’s incredible dream, they contacted him and promised a “gift” each and every time their filly ran in a race. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis don’t tell the amount of their gifts to the press, but trust me when I tell you that Serena’s Song the horse will help keep Serena’s Song the balloon flying for years to come. While the gifts from Robert and Beverly Lewis are a godsend, Serena’s Song the balloon still must depend on outside assistance to stay afloat. Waldman’s pride is obvious, yet his task is enormous. With the filly’s support, and public awareness, he can make a difference for his daughter Serena and all of the others who benefit from the special creation. Salty’s smiling face and earlier blessing ring true as 1 watch the dreams of Serena and many others materialize. With Waldman, the Lewises and that sweet bay filly, they can continue flying high.

Freshman Jumpers: Making The Grade By BETSY BRANSCOME Times Community Newspapers Staff Writer Freshman jumpers will chase the gold this fall in the National Steeplechase Association 3-YearOld Championship series, worth a cash bonus of $10,000 to the top earners in the three-race division. The series kicks off its schedule with the $25,000 Future Champions Cup at the International Gold Cup meeting at Great Meadow in The Plains. The NSA designed the races in an effort to excite racegoers about the future of steeplechasing, and, with the monetary rewards available, to bring along a future crop oi runners, at once encouraging owners to pigeon-hole nice young horses as hurdlers early in their careers. The Future Champions Cup, sponsored by USA Healthnet, is qualified as a stakes race with its ► Timber From Page 7 In addition to the bonus purse awaiting series contenders, each race in the group ofTers a substantial purse to the field. At Fairfax, the Bowman Bowl, set at three miles over that right-handed course is worth $10,000. I'he 3 1/4-mile International Gold Cup has increased its purse to $50,000, making the stake the richest timber race in the world. The four-mile Virginia Hunt Cup also carries stakes status with its $35,000 purse. In addition to the Southern States Championship, the National Steeplechase Association also crowns a NSA Timber Horse of the year based on points earned in races this past spring and in any or all of the 21 timber races (five of which are stakes races) on the autumn schedule.

Steeplechase Jockeys Scheduled To Contest Mini Prix For Charity Racing at breath-taking speeds over steeplechase fences isn’t the only skill that the daring young men and women of the jump racing world share - they are also renowned as credible horsemen with the natural ability and agility to handle any horse in most any discipline. A representative group of 17 of the nation’s best race riders will get their chance to prove just that as they contest the second annual Jumpin’ Jocks’ Mini Prix at Hickory Tree Farm’s Confederate Hall on Oct. 1. Competitors - who will ride horses at the schooling jumper level - include current national leader Blythe Miller and her brother Chip of Pennsylvania, Anne Moran, Sean Clancy, Greg Ryan, Matt McCarron, Joe Gillet, Brooks Durkee, Sanna Neilson, Jeff Teter and local favorites Chuck Lawrence,of Marshall, Pat Cooney and Neil Morris of Middleburg, Peter Walsh of The Plains, Jill Waterman of Upperville and Cort Marzullo of Purcellville. Horses were chosen for the riders through a blind draw. The Middleburg event is planned to bejnefit the Piedmont Environmental Council, a land conservation organization based in Warrenton, the unofficial center of Virginia’s fragile Piedmont region. The PEC was established 23 years ago to preserve the traditional character and visual order of the countryside, the same areas that support equestrian events of all types - including steeplechase races. The organization also seeks to provide for orderly economic progress sensitive to conservation of land, water and other natural resources in northern Virginia. Money raised through the Oct. 1 mini prix will go towards continuing the PEC’s educational programs and voluntary land conserva Brooks Durkee Matt McCarron tion land easement program. Riders are donating their time, and the horses that will be used - an evenly matched group of area jumpers and show hunters - are being provided for the day by their owners in support of the PEC program. The event will begin with a reception at noon, a buffet lunch at 1 p.m. and the featured mini prix at 2. Cost for the entire day, including parking, is $75 per person or $35 for ages 30 and under. Cost for the mini prix only is $10 per carload.

► Novice From Page 6 challenging, two-mile oval. Starting along the head of the stretch, runners in the first race there will go two miles, once around. The fifth and final leg of the series will run over 2 1/2 miles. “The varied distances are a real test for horses in their novice year,” said Cheltenham racecourse manager Peter McNeile from his track office. “There is a very large group of legitimate novice hurdlers over here this season, and 1 hear that a number of American horses are seriously considering making the trip. It will be a good series.” The five-races are open to 3year-olds and up, with weights per age except for multiple winners. Three-year-olds carry 135 in each of the American races, with 4year-olds toting 145, and 150 pounds on the older runners. The owner of the horse that accumulates the most points by running in all the American races will be presented the Cheltenham Perpetual Trophy. For the third time, this year a connected series of three maiden Sport of Kings qualifiers over hurdles are also slated on the calendar. The first takes place Sept. 16, over the natural brush course at St. James Farm in Chicago. The second maiden will be held Oct. 28 on Times Community Newspapers Staff Photo/Betsy Branscome Novice champ Lonesome Glory, left, has since graduated from the junior division and won two Eclipse Awards. the rich Far Hills stakes card; the qualifier is automatically fully last at Columbus Nov. 4. nominated to the 1995 Sport of The winner of each maiden Kings Challenge. ► Intro From Page 2 and who-knows-what obstacles. The sport today is glitzy and glamorous, regulated and regimented, a pseudo-business offering big prize money that nonetheless retains its sporting quality. Virginia will host seven days of steeplechasing this fall, beginning with the Sept. 23 Fairfax Races and closing with the Nov. 4 Montpelier Races. More than $375,000 in purse money will be distributed at six Old Dominion hunt meets. The National Steeplechase Association itself sanctions 18 race meets during the fall season, with over $1.4 million in prizes offered. As steeplechasing enters a second century — the NSA was formed in 1895 — it has retained the flavor and integrity that the flat tracks seem to have lost somewhat in the race for big business. Steeplechases are still most often sponsored or organized by hunt clubs or racing supporters, and most jump meets are run to benefit charities local to their course, or sometimes, the course itself. The Fairfax Races, for instance, which open the Commonwealth’s fall racing season, are run in support of the lovely Belmont Plantation grounds in Ashbum. The historic mansion and rambling meadow that surrounds the ante-bellum house provide a green belt of sorts, a buffer against impending development that presses ever westward as Washington, D.C. expands. Likewise, the Virginia Fall Races support their Glenwood Park home in Middleburg; the Morven Park Races the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation at the Leesburg estate; the International Gold Cup supports the Meadow Outdoors Foundation which helps keep Great Meadow in The Plains open year-round for outdoor activities. Steeplechasing has proven to be a big sport with a big heart. The participants provide healthy outdoor competition in the greatest of green spaces, while at once benefiting the very areas that keep the land open. National Calendar Sept. 16: St. James, ill.

Michele Rouse and The Printer won at Blue Ridge when the mare was in foal. Pregnancy Precedent Reported from an AP wire in the early 1940 's, this strange thoroughbred tale was repeated when pregnant mare The Printer won over timber at Blue Ridge in 1991. Her foal, Printer’s Ink, raced this spring. 'Filly Is Foaled By Error In Stud - Mare Accidentally Bred’ LEXINGTON. KY — The filly that was foaled unexpectedly at Keeneland last week learned the name ofher daddy today. After her arrival, to a mare in training that had turned in a sizzling workout a few hours earlier, nobody immediately concerned knew that mama horse had “had a date.” But the mama, 6-year-old llashcamp, it developed today, had been bred last spring to the stallion Zorawar at Clearwater Farm. John H. Clark, publicity director at Keeneland, said it has been established that llashcamp was taken to the court of Zorawar by mistake. She occupied the same stable at Churchill Downs with another mare, Miss Blindfold, who had been booked to meet Zorawar in stud. Somebody simply delivered the wrong mare to Zorawar. I he mistaken delivery was discovered later, Clark said, but it was believed llashcamp was barren so the error was not reported to the owner, Mrs. HJ. Andrews in Ohio. The “little mistake” arrived shortly after llashcamp worked a half-mile in the mud in the excellent time of :51 seconds.
