Centel's Contract Angers County Flood Cleanup Improves By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sprint/Centel got its share of criticism from the Board of Supervisors Monday afternoon when County Administrator John McCarthy and county attorney Peter Luke reported on problems they have had negotiating a contract with the company to provide E-911 service. They reported that a contract had been negotiated with Centel before it was bought out by Sprint. However, that contract was never signed. Following the merger of the two companies, the new team of lawyers rejected the contract, Mr. Luke reported. Instead they wanted a contract that would call on Rappahannock County to indemnify the company in case it lost a lawsuit over E-911. Mr. Luke said the county could not agree to do that because the county enjoys “sovereign immunity” and no Board of Superv isors can bind a future board to such a potential liability. However, Mr. McCarthy suggested the supervisors go ahead and sign the contract since even the company's lawyers know the county cannot be compelled to pay off in such a suit. Mr. Luke said the Sprint/Centel lawyers wanted the language in the contract in case the law changes. He and Mr. McCarthy agreed it is not likely that law will change. The contract calls for the county to indemnify the company “to the extent allowed by law,” Mr. Luke said. He added, “In my opinion that is none.” Mr. McCarthy said, “One other choice is to sue them. That would mean a multi-month delay in implementing E-911.” “A multi-year delay, more likely,” Mr. Luke said. Debate continued. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said he could not agree to having the county sign such a contract. Wakefield District representative Hubert Gilkey suggested the county seek help from the Virginia Association of Counties in fighting the provision. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham suggested getting assistance from a Richmond law firm. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked Mr. Luke to make a recommendation.

She said, “I pledge to do the very best 1 can to represent you well, to try as hard as I can to fulfill your aspirations and needs. To be your voice in the Virginia General Assembly.” She added that this is a pledge and not a contract. “I will not sign, as my opponent has, a blank sheet of paper drawn up by politicians in Richmond and Washington, that promises to deliver an agenda that does not reflect the concerns of the 31 st District.” Mrs. Scheer said that education is her first priority. She supports making education the top budget priority, giving 100 percent of lottery funds to education, Goals 2000, reducing classroom size, anti-dropout programs, safe schools programs, strong community colleges, strengthening of colleges and universities and a continued freeze on college tuition. Regarding the environment, she said she supports environmental regulations now in force to protect clean air and water, and she opposes weakening current regulations. She said that this effort will need strong citizen support and involvement and that she will be calling on people for their participation. She calls Rappahannock County the creative center of Virginia. In this county, she said, are many unique home industries in arts, crafts and food, which must be supported: She said that one of the most important issues is the BPOL tax which generates a lot of revenue but is a tax on businesses which she says are already heavily taxed. She feels it should be abandoned. Regarding transportation, Mrs. Scheer said that she has worked to block unreasonable and insensitive road building in the past and will continue to do so. She opposes the Western Bypass and believes it is a developers’ highway that creates urban sprawl. She said that she will make sure that residents have direct input to VDOT regarding widening of Routes 522 and 211. “‘Buijd it so they will come’ is the VDOT attitude. It is not mine,” she said. Mrs. Scheer said that agriculture is alive and well and deserves support. She added that land use taxation has been very helpful to farmers and she supports that tax. She will also support full funding for extension agents and all of their services, including 4-H. Regarding crime, Mrs. Scheer said she is in favor of the crime prevention measures already passed: three strikes, no parole and truth in sentencing. She supports the $96 million pay-as-you-go prison construction program. She promises to seek repeal of Senate Bill 744 which m ikes carrying concealed weapons easier. She supports repeal of the Dillon Rule which she says lim ;s local governmental initiatives. “1 want to preserve local options in land use taxation, zoning prerogatives, local options on sludge and mobile homes, and 1 believe the Composite Index needs drastic revision,” she said. She also believes the local government should be allowed to collect impact fees from developers. Old Rag Bulletins Fugitives Arrested Two of the fugitives listed in the Rappahannock News story last week on Sheriff John Henry Woodward’s “most wanted” list have been arrested, although the newspapaer story was responsible for only one of the arrests. John Joseph Messick was arrested in Elkins, W. Va. on unrelated charges last Wednesday. West Virginia authorities checked and found he was wanted in Rappahannock and Orange counties. Joanne H. Jenkins turned herself in last Thursday after her family saw the newspaper story. She is at the Rappahannock County jail.

Settle Outspends Woodward By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sheriff candidate Gary Settle is collecting and spending significantly more money than incumbent Sheriff John Henry Woodward in this fall’s campaign. As of reports filed by Sept. 15 for the period ending Aug. 31, Mr. Settle had contributions totaling $6,221 and expenses totaling $3,367 with a balance of $2,166 and $2,854 in unpaid debts. Most of that in the form of a $1,770 debt to his wife, Kelly Settle, who paid for hats and T-shirts at the beginning of the campaign. Sheriff Woodward had contributions of $3,588 and expenses of $2,357 with a balance of $1,231 and no debt. Most of their contributions were not large. Campaigns are only required to report those who contribute more than $1Q0. Mr. Settle listed Kim Gilkey-Breeden for $200, Roger Cordani for $250, Jerry Foster for $300, and Edward Wayland for $250 for $1,000 of his $6,200 in contributions. Sheriff Woodward reported contributions from John Evans for $250 and from Chester Fannon for $500 for $750 of his nearly $3,600 in contributions. Their expenses have been for hats, cups, bumper stickers, candy, flags and advertising. All the remaining candidates for constitutional offices, Treasurer Frances Foster, Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins, and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke reported no financial activity in their campaigns. That was also true of the seven candidates for five seats on the Board of Supervisors. Most School Board candidates also reported no financial activity in their campaigns. However, Rick Wood, who is seeking the Jackson District seat, reported receiving $750 in unitemized contributions and $104 in “in-kind” contributions with $162 in expenses and a balance of$588. Libby Whetzel reported receiving $101 from Walter Longyear and $25 in unitemized contributions for a total of $ 126 and no expenses. Sexual Assault Charges Filed By CINDY MAHAN Rippaluanock Newt Staff Writer Albert Gatewood, 38, of Washington, was arrested last Thursday for sexual abuse of a child and sexual assault of a child. A 14 year-old girl filed the complaint with the Sheriff’s Office against Mr. Gatewood, alleging that the incidents occurred last January 1. When Mr. Gatewood was brought into the magistrate’s office last Thursday, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, a confrontation occurred between Mr. Gatewood and magistrate George Samoszenko and Mr. Gatewood was further charged with curse and abuse. Sheriff Woodward also said that Mr. Gatewood’s sister, Bonita Lynn Gatewood, 31, of Washington, became abusive in the magistrate’s office while she was there with her broth er: She spit on Mr. Samoszenko and was charged with simple assault (the spitting), curse and abuse, and criminal trespass (she had been asked to leave the premises but did not). Last Friday, Jackie Lee Larimer of Manassas reported that $325 worth of miscellaneous lumber was stolen from his property on Route 645 on Amissville. A witness saw a pickup truck leave the property with the lumber, but no further description of the truck was available. An attempted breaking and entering was reported to have happened at Rolf C. Johnsen’s property on Route 649 in Castleton last Saturday. Sheriff Woodward said that a caretaker for the property was advised by the swimming pool people that they saw a basement window broken out, though nothing was found to be missing. In MtfcrtittuiiM riMbaMik Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick This campaign sign at the Armistead home on U.S. 211 ; near Sperryville was vandalized Saturday night. Campaign Signs Vandalized The state police are investigating a series of incidents that involve campaign signs supporting Gary Settle for Sheriff. Sgt. Harry Newlin said the incidents began Friday night when two signs on U.S. 522 just north of Route 604 near Boston were vandalized with spray paint. Trooper Wayne Sumner is investigating that incident Sgt. Newlin said.^ On Saturday night a sign located on U.S. 211 on the Armistead property almost across from Mr. Settle’s home was vandalized with red and black spray paint. That same evening red and black spray paint was also used to vandalize signs in the Sperryville Cemetery that give instructions for the use of the cemetery and have nothing to do with the campaign, Sgt. Newlin said.. Trooper Sean Knick is investigating those incidents, he said. On Sunday night also on U.S. 211 on property belonging to Billy Wa>land a sign for Gary Settle was removed and left on the ground, but not vandalized. Sgt. Newlin said Trooper W.F. Herman Jr. out of Fauquier County is investigating that incident. Sheriff John Henry Woodward • said that he hopes none of his supporters were involved in these incidents. He said there have also been incidents in which signs supporting him had been vandalized, but no reports were Filed. “I wish they would get caught so we could get to the bottom of this,” he said. Mr. Settle said he has replaced some of the signs and added, “They’re expensive. I urge everyone to keep an eye out...and protect every body’s right to a fair election.” “I have to assume it’s just the work of vandals,” he continued. “1 won’t let vandals keep me from running a strong and clean campaign.”

Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR ADVERTISE OR SELL? If you decide to sell your home with no professional help, your first thought will be advertising. You may start by planting a "For Sale by Owner" sign in your front lawn. Will this be seen by enough - or any - prospective buyers? Then, newspaper advertising. This can be more costly and less effective than you think if done improperly. The words "For sale by owner" excite the multitudes of bargain hunters. It could even lead to over-exposure to the point where, if you should decide later to consult a Realtor, good prospects will have already seen C the property and having failed to buy, will be harder to interest a " second time. f The basic reason for advertising is to attract interested prospects who are ready, willing and financially able to buy. There’s a more effective and faster way. List it with our agency. We have f>rospects already in the market or nomes realistically priced. One of them may be looking for a home just as yours.

Zoning Board Approves Variance, Craft Shop By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer All three applications before the Board of Zoning Appeals last Wednesday received approval. Billy Smoot’s application for a special use permit for a family apartment on his property for his son was approved. County Administrator John McCarthy said that the technical requirements for the ordinance had seemed to be adequately met. Mr. Smoot lives on the Fodderstack Road. The total square footage of the apartment will be 986. One requirement of the permit is that the apartment may not be rented to anyone other than family for two years following completion of the construction, and no more than three people may live in it. Mr. and Mrs. Greg Cahill were approved for a gift and antique shop in the old Sandy Hook store on their property on U.S. 522 near the intersection of Route 664. The shop will be run primarily by Mrs. Cahill. They plan to have arts and crafts made by different family members, along with mineral specimens from Mr. Cahill’s collection. The shop will also have a few nice antique pieces, said Mr. Cahill, and may include some artwork and wood sculptures. The special use permit was granted with the understanding that the Cahills will not have an outdoor display of goods or merchandise, and they cannot hire employees to run the store. Ludwig Stetka’s application for a variance was approved. He has property in the Twin Falls subdivision of Huntly which he purchased in 1983. At that time, he put in a foundation, septic and well, and has not done work on the property since then. At the time Mr. Stetka built his foundation, the 50-foot setbacks complied with the Zoning Ordinance. Now, however, a 100-foot setback is required. BZA member Sid Gottlieb said, “To apply the 100 foot setback here would mean you could not build anything.” Mr. Stetka replied that he already had $20,000 invested in the house project. Mr. Zindel said that Mr. Stetka met the setbacks originally, and the members voted unanimously to approve the variance for Mr. Stetka. ► Centel From Page A-l “I think our exposure is limited, but I don’t think it’s right,” Mr. Luke said. “It depends on how bad you want E-911. People want E-911. It can save lives.” “Do you feel like we’re being blackmailed?” Mr. Massie asked. Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Luke both answered “Yes.” The supervisors agreed to discuss it further in executive session at the end of the afternoon meeting. Following that session they agreed the county would sign the best contract Mr. Luke can negotiate and seek a bill in the next session of the General Assembly that would prohibit telephone companies from requiring such language in contracts. The board approved an additional appropriation of nearly $80,000 for the public schools. Much of the money is carry over for federal programs from the last school year. This comes up every year because the federal fiscal year is different from the state’s and county’s, Superintendent David Gangel explained to the board. Another $24,596 is the final payment on the RJR Grant for computer education, and $29,800 is to pay for an additional special education teacher. However, the county can expect to receive about $50,000 more from the state because enrollment is higher than anticipated when the budget was adopted. Dr. Gangel said the schools have 1,050 students ■enrolled. Mr. McCarthy reported that since the last meeting the Natural Resources Conservation Service had been much more helpful in making repairs because of damage from the June flood.

They elected directors and officers for the coming year, and heard an inspiring address by Mary Ann Biggs, assistant superintendent of Rappahannock’s public schools. After noting that the literacy mission is for adult education, what the public schools’ mission is for school children, Mrs. Biggs discussed the common problem of making a good connection between teacher and student. In the course of her animated talk, she gave many insightful examples from her experience in the field of education. Jane Batchelder of Amissville discussed plans for tutor training later this fall, including “process writing.” The officers elected for the coming year were Emerson Williams of Castleton, President; Louise Van Dort of Washington, Vice President; Dorothy Butler of Sperryville, Secretary; and Doris Fowler of Washington, Treasurer.

Paid Advertisement To The Citizens of Rappahannock County: I would like to take this opportunity to express my thoughts concerning the recent vandalism and theft of several of my campaign signs. It is disturbing to know that the hard work and effort that my family and friends have put forth is diminished by the thoughtless acts of vandals. During the weekend, at various times of the night and early morning, I received telephone calls from the State Police and concerned citizens. They advised me that my campaign signs had been defaced. Upon viewing the damage, I was discouraged. Nevertheless, I realized how strong my desire is to serve the citizens of Rappahannock County. I will continue to dedicate all of my time and efforts to becoming Sheriff of Rappahannock County. I will post more signs and continue to visit all areas of the county. I intend to serve all residents of our county. These rude and selfish acts were disturbing to me, to my supporters, to conscientious citizens, and to those who have allowed my signs to be posted on their property. In spite of the efforts of some to hinder my campaign, I will continue to exhibit a vigorous and clean carqpaign. I would hope that my opponent, Sheriff Woodward, has not experienced the same thoughtless and rude acts which have been bestowed upon me. In conclusion, to preserve the integrity of this election and to affirm responsible citizenship, I would urge the person or persons responsible for these acts to refrain from further action of this kind. I hope that no candidate experiences the difficulties that I have experienced over this past weekend. Gary T. Settle - Candidate for Sheriff * Paid for and authorized by the candidate. »

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1995 CenteTs Turn After several months of praising Sprint/Centel for its cooperation with the county in implementing E-911, County Administrator John McCarthy had to eat his words when he told the members of the Board of Supervisors Monday afternoon of difficulties he and county attorney Peter Luke were having negotiating a contract with the company for E-911 service. For several months the county has experienced problems with Bell Atlantic in agreeing to hook its customers into the system, while Sprint/Centel has cooperated with that process. However, contract negotiations have been something else. The company insisted the county pledge to indemnify it in the event it was sued. As Mr. Luke pointed out, the county is covered by a sovereign immunity and cannot be sued, nor can it be compelled to •indemnify another party. Furthermore, Mr. Luke reported on a case in Stafford County in which a judge ruled that Bell Atlantic could not be sued either for problems with E-911. Presumably Sprint/Centel enjoys that same immunity. However, the company insisted on wording in the contract that the county would indemnify the company to the extent it is allowed to by law. Mr. Luke said in his opinion that was “not at all.” Mr. Luke advised the supervisors to consider “how much you want E-911” in deciding whether or not to sign such a contract. As Mr. McCarthy pointed out many people, especially those who serve in the fire and resuce squads, asked the supervisors to implement E-911, which enables the dispatch center using a computer ^database to know where a call to 911 is coming from even if the ’ caller hangs up or becomes unconscious. With maps developed as ; part of the process, rescue personnel can find the house the call came !. from. Furthermore Rappahannock citizens have been paying an extra * $2 every month for some years with their telephone bills to pay for * this system. ! t After debating in open session and in executive session, the * supervisors agreed to sign the best contract Mr. Luke can negotiate * and seek legislative relief once the General Assembly convenes in 'January. The county will seek to join with others having similar »problems with E-911 contracts to have a bill introduced that would '.prohibit such language in them. » Their decision is the correct one, but they were also correct tc { protest this form of blackmail.

Letters to the Editor Support Scheer To the Kditor: As a Republican who worked in the Reagan Administration, 1 am disappointed with Jay Katzen’s representation of the district. I’m supporting Sue Scheer for many reasons. I’m impressed with her dedication to the community as a county planning commissioner, as a volunteer for many civic organizations and her willingness to stand up and made a real difference. Sue Scheer’s stand on concealed weapons also could help keep our neighbors and children safer. This election on Nov. 7 is an important one. Please vote Sue Scheer, House of Delegates. SUSAN NELSON Warrenton Supports Hiker Limits To the Editor: 1 completely agree with the proposal of the Shenandoah National Park to limit the numbers of hikers an Old Rag Mountain during the upcoming October weekends. The lack of proper parking; the invasion of privacy of local residents, not to mention the dangers involved with emergency vehicles trying to reach people in trouble, all lend credence to this proposal being implemented. I am a frequent visitor to Madison County as my family lives on Route 231 at the turn to Old Rag. Each year I see the results of the influx of hikers during “leaf session.’’ Litter increases and more traffic accidents occur with people trying to maneuver the narrow roads that lead to Old Rag. Please help me, my family and my neighbors and encourage the Park Service to boldly enforce this measure.

KILPATRICK v. Limenal Press Syndicate At Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pa., two professors won a coveted honor last October, The board of trustees “emeritized” them. It’s right there in the minutes of the trustees’ meeting. That is the latest citation of an “izing” to come my way, but it certainly will not be the last. The process of turning nouns into verbs by adding “ize” dates from the 1300s. It’s been accelerating ever since. In the 19th century, ize-verbs multiplied'faster than guppies. “To officialize,” and in “to officialize English,” dates from 1840-50. Lexicographers spotted “to funeralize” in 1859. “To accessorize” has been around for 60 years. Many of the ize-verbs, such as “to hooverize,” have proved to be mere nonce words, gone with the ebbing tides of fame. In the hey day of columnist Westbrook Pegler, to be peglerized was to be pulverized. In 1987 the Senate Judiciary Committee “borkized" (or “borked) a distinguished nominee to the Supreme Court. 1 have not had a citation of “to clintonize,” meaning to act indecisively, but the verb probably will turn up before long. “To metricize,” meaning to convert to metric measurements, appeared about 1870. Its descendant arrived in the Wheels section of the Cincinnati Enquirer in March. An automotive reporter recalled that in 1960 Ford introduced a 430-cubic inch V-8 engine. The reporter explained: “That’s seven liters for the metricated.” Efforts to metricate America have yet a long way to go. An unfamiliar verb appeared recently in a column from the Cox News Service. Columnist Tom Teepen commented that in the United States, election day turnouts are relatively meager, yet “Americans swank around the world as the very model of a democratic people.” I’m on good terms with to swagger and to strut, and I know that adjective “swanky,” but the verb “to swank” was a new one on me. It dates from 1809. Another newcomer is “to diary.” An assistance U.S. attorney in Atlanta sent a memorandum to the Customs Service a year ago about a civil action then pending: “I will diary this case for 45 days.” Maybe “to dairy” serves a purpose in the jargon of the law, but for most of us the verb will take a good deal of getting used to. A sportswriter for the Logan (Utah) Herald Journal showed admirable inventiveness in covering a basketball game during the Christmas season of 1993. Utah State won, but the crowd of 5,259 had been “sparcened by holidays and the Las Vegas Bowl.” If the writer wanted to coin a verb form the adjective “sparse,” shouldn’t the past participle be “sparsened?” But I suppose it’s his word, and he can spell it any way he pleases. The sports pages have verbed another noun to good effect. In Vero Beach, Fla., five hospitals entered into a joint agreement for certain clerical services. A spokesman said he couldn’t estimate the savings exactly. “We have not ballparked that at this point in time.” (He could have said, “we haven’t yet ballparked that,” and saved five words, but we’re talking coinages today.) The Seneca (S.C.) Joumal/Tribune carried a photo last year of an award ceremony. The recipient “is also very active in ‘Life Line,’ an organization in which she has membered for nine years.” A little too much compression here. How about, “She has been an active member of Life Line for the past nine years?” I don’t believe “to member” will make it past the gates of Merriam-Webster. 1 doubt if “fraudsters” will make it either. That is how an FBI spokesman described perpetrators Of insurance scams. In an interview for Scripps-Howard, he said that “fraud* sters are siphoning off huge sums of money.” Etymologically speaking; there’s nothing wrong with the noun; but it looks odd. Because I have a fondness for “couth,” as a back-formation from “uncouth,” 1 am bound to smile upon a Knight-Ridder reporter who described a trip to crowded Yellowstone National Park last year. A huge elk appeared. Tourists lifted cameras. Daredevils Vvhizzxd by on snowmobiles. The elk paid no attention. “he is nonchalant about the gathering crowds.” As for the writer: “We are chalant. We are blown away by the wonders of Yellowstone in winter.” I There’s nothing wrong with geff ting excited. If 1 were 20 feet from $ bull elk. I’d be pretty dam chalant too.

SPORTS Boys 1st, Girls 2nd in Meet BY BRADY WOLFE * Rappahannock News Contributing Writer \ On Wednesday, Sept. 27, the RCHS boys’ cross country team won [again, this time at home in a five team ;meet. The four other schools were 'Brentsville, Strasburg, Page County ■and Clarke County. The RCHS boys’ team edged out ^Strasburg by a score of 40 to 41. .Brentsville (95) came in third, while [Page (96) and Clarke (150) rounded out the scoring. Panther senior Mark Jenkins came in first overall with a time of 17:25. , Freshman Chris Sause came in second ^overall while his brother Eddie finished fifth overall. Jennings Hobson and Chris Dennis placed fifteenth and seventeenth with Caleb Proper and Jesse Rogers placing 25th and 33rd. Brentsville’s Valerie Echevarria continued her domination of the girls’ district races with a time of 21:20. Brentsville took the meet with a score of 38. Rappahannock placed second with 44 points. Strasburg (61) came in third while Clarke (76) placed fourth. Page did not field a team for lack of runners. Junior Holly Gangel was the first Panther to cross the finish line, placing third in the meet at 21:45. Jessie Gheen, a freshman, came in fifth overall. Caroline Baumgardener edged out Lauren Sharp for eleventh place. Both finished with the same time. Myriam Lathouille, Emily Sims and Robyn Kaye were Rapp’s fifth, sixth and seventh runners. At each meet a developmental race is run for jayvee and other runners who aren’t on the varsity squad. Rappahannock claimed first in this race also, with a score of 24. Brentsville (47) beat our Strasburg (72) for second place. Page and Clarke did not field developmental teams.

Rigjjt behind him was Nile Watson, third in the race. RJ White and Ryland Pace were the second pair of consecutive Panthers, placing fifth and sixth. Chad Heddleston finished eighth overall, the last Rappahannock runner to score. Meghan Fairbrother, an eighth grader, was the first girl overall in the developmental race, running a time of 24:39. Coach Dave van de GraafT said it was a very' well run race and called it “a positive win in a good season with high expectations.” Their next home meet will be at 5 p.m. on Oct. 11. Basketball Teams Lose Again ; By WILLIE EASTHAM * R*pp«hannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock Panther varsity girls’ basketball team continued with their losing ways during the last week despite showing signs of improvement in each contest. Thursday night the Lady Panthers traveled to Berryville to take on the Eagles of Clarke County. The ladies avoided their season-long problem of excessive turnovers, but dismal shooting led to the final score of 47 to 28. The Panthers ended the first half 1 for 19 from the field and went on to finish the game just 10 for 59. Can Kerr led the Panthers scoring 9 points while grabbing 9 rebounds. Kylene Wolfe added in 9 second-half points to go along with a strong defensive game. The JV squad also fell to the Eagles by a score of 34 to 18. Sonya Wiggington led the scoring with 8 points while Tiffany Keys added 7 points of her own with strong inside play. Tuesday night the Panthers fell by a score of 51 to 41 when they entertained the • isiting Bulldogs of Luray. Early foul trouble for many key players combined with a lack of offensive consistency until the late stages of the How To Score Cross Country In cross country competition low score wins. The team’s score is the total order of finish of the top five runners. So a perfect cross country score would be 15 — the total of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. * A team may enter seven runners, and although the sixth and seventh place runners do not contribute to their team’s score, they can add to other teams’ scores by finishing ahead of their fourth or fifth place runners. For example in last Wednesday’s competition in the boys race Brentsville’s fifth runner finished 14th, but their sixth runner finished 16th, ahead of Rappahannock’s fifth runner Chris Dennis, making him 17th. Without the intervention of Brentsville’s sixth runner, Chris Dennis would have finished 16th, and Rappahannock’s score would have been 39 instead of 40. game spelled defeat. Rappahannock enjoyed strong inside scoring and success on the boards from their inside players. Center Dawn Havstad scored 12 points while grabbing 5 rebounds. Forward Cari Kerr scored 10 points while cleaning a game-high 14 rebounds. Coach Laura Conklin said after the game, “Early foul trouble disrupted our offensive game plan and forced us to make adjustments while behind.” The coach went on to say that for the rest of the varsity season the Panthers are looking forward to playing four quarters of solid basketball in each game. The JV Panthers played an outstanding game Tuesday night and were led in all parts of the game by their star Sonya Wiggington. She poured in 19 points and almost made a long-distance three-pointer at the buzzer to give the team a victory. However, the shot fell off the front of the rim to leave the Panthers behind 29 to 28. Both ball clubs will be back in action Thursday night against Central at the high school. This week’s Panther Player of the Week goes to Cari Kerr. For the week she averaged 9.5 points and 11.5 rebounds while adding two blocks a game. The Cost of Quality Has Come Down. Th« NEW 017 .

At least that’s what happened to the U-10 soccer team coached by Bob Wellemeyer and Steve Young. They won their game against a Madison team, 3-2, despite having shown up at the wrong soccer field. Using information from an old schedule, the team descended upon a field in Criglersville only to learn that they were in the wrong place. They quickly caravaned over to another field by the town of Madison. Arriving five minutes after the scheduled starting time, they got themselves together enough to win, with Patrick Lowrey, Daniel Young and Hans Shankle scoring the goals. “The whole team played really great,” said Steve Young, “considering that we all went to the wrong field to begin with.” The U-12 team coached by Mike McKiernan shut out Culpeper, 3-0. Jeremy Graves, Jason Simeon and Timothy Moore scored the goals. Carl Letsen’s U-10 team had a close match against the Midday Lions from Culpeper, losing 3-2. The U-8 “Robins” won one of their games against a Madison team, 4-2, and lost the other match, 5-4. Dylan Corbin and James Lofton scored the goals for the Robins. The U-12 all-girls team, coached by Maggie Rogers, lost to a Haymarket team by a score of 6-0. “It’s a learning experience,” said Mrs. Rogers. “The Cardinals” and “The Cannonballs,” both U-8 teams, lost their games to Madison and Culpeper, respectively. The U-14 team lost to Fauquier, 8-0. “We|were missing eight out of our 17 players,” said coach, K.C. Bosch. -A Orchard WAtMlNC'TON.

Celebrate National 4-H Week By HELEN W. SMITH Eitension Agent As we celebrate National 4-H Week, I’d like to report on several exciting things happening here in Rappahannock County. One of our continuing goals in 4H is to involve more youth in educational clubs and to involve the youth who participate in 4-H camp and summer workshops in the year-round 4-H program. The local 4-H community, project, and cloverbud clubs are the foundation of the total 4-H program. As a child gets older, he or she can then participate in such events as 4-H Day at the General Assembly, State 4-H Congress, and so forth. We have some talented parents and adults who have agreed to begin three new clubs this fall — one for cloverbuds (ages 5-8) and two project clubs (ages 9-19). These are: 4-H Cooking and Crafts Club — This group will meet at the Extension Office on the second Wednesday of each month from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. (except that the October meeting was held on Oct. 4). This club is under the leadership of Judy Burke. In October they participated in a cooking class on apples. The group will study cooking, nutrition, and home environment 4-H projects. 4-H Bird Club — Dr. Joe Garvin and Sue Benner have offered to start a club to teach about non-game birds and birds of prey, with emphasis on conservation and providing a habitat for our native wildlife. The organizational meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 10 at the Extension Office. 4-H Cloverbud Small Animal Club — An organizational meeting was held on Sept. 23 with 32 people in attendance.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News ' mmmmm Real Estate Classifieds WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4,1995 Tea Room Adds to Festival Weekend By CINDY MAHAN Rippahinnock News Staff Writer Sandra Cartwright-Brown’s dream of a tea room opened last weekend in Sperryville in time for the Apple Harvest Festival. Conyers’ Fox & Grape is located on Main Street, in a converted house three doors down from Faith Mountain Company. Mrs. CartwrightBrown’s daughter-in-law, Cindy Mueller, is running the business and serving tea daily from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. These hours will continue at least through October, when the days or hours open may change. Two tea menus are available. The r $6 tea includes a pot of tea, scones, clotted cream (similar to Devonshire cream), jam and fruit. The full tea, which is $11, includes a pot of tea, finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, jam, assorted desserts and fruit. Last Saturday two of the assorted desserts were lemon pound cake and apricot pastry. Or it may include a pecan and cream cheese nestled inside of a dried apricot. Each day the menu offers a “tea of the day,” which may be Irish breakfast, orange pekoe, green tea, cinnamon spice (caffeine free) or orange tea. Coffee and champagne are also available. A customer checks outside wares at the recently reopened Springhouse Antiques during the Fall Festival. Some of the baked goods are purchased from local bakers, as Mrs. Mueller would like to support local people, but the rest is made right on the premises. And last weekend she had help from both Mrs. CartwrightBrown and a long-time friend who just moved to the county, Tina Vaughn. The tea room is set up to serve many people at once, with two tables on the front porch, four inside and two large tables on the back porch. All of it has been beautifully decorated by Mrs. Mueller and Mrs. Cartwright-Brown, fresh flowers are everywhere, and classical music fills the air. It is a very pleasant and peaceful setting for sitting down to a cup of tea. Mrs. Mueller said that in November she may begin serving a single entree supper, possibly on Tuesday nights when most other restaurants are closed. It would include soup, salad, bread, dessert, wine, beer or other beverage, all at a fixed price. Mrs. Mueller lives in Los Angeles with her actor husband Carl Mueller, and plans to return there in early December. At that time, of course, someone else will take over at the tea room. But her ties here are strong, as she and Carl were married here at the Conyers House three years ago, and he proposed to her on the top of Old Rag. She was brought up in a very small town in Nebraska, and says that she feels really at home here. When she returns to Los Angeles, she and Carl will be working on a how-to home improvement series for The Discovery Channel which will begin shooting in January and will air next fall. Working at the tea room, she said, is her vacation before starting that show. Mrs. Mueller explained that tea was originally for well-to-do women to show off their beautiful things. Usually, she said, tea is taken between 4 and 6 p.m., and dinner is not until 8 p.m. “It is really about the art of taking tea, the luxury of it,” she said. The phone number is 987-9303. Sperryville’s other change in time for the fall tourist season is a reopened Springhouse Antiques store across the street. Jay and Claudia Trinca ran the store in one of Sperryville’s oldest houses from May 1986 until November 1992 and then closed it for redorating and structural repairs. “We restored the house and kept its architectural integrity,” Mr., Trinca said, pointing to a section of the old log cabin that can be seen. They added heating and air conditioning systems, putting vent work in the attic and under the building to keep from having to use dropped ceilings. The store’s selection includes both antique furniture and “Springhouse Originals,” pieces built by Mr. Trinca often out of old woods. From time to time he is able to get an old bam to use for its wood. Also for sale are lace, linens, dried flowers and ceramics including some of Mrs. Trinca’s collection of flow blue china..

Harris To Concentrate on Ragged Mountain Resource Center oy Linu I IVIAHAIX Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Ragged Mountain Resource Center, located on Main Street in Washington, is a community oriented organization focussing on sustainability in the Blue Ridge Mountain bioregion, said Hunt Harris. Mr. Harris’s tenure as president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) ends on November 1 so that he can devote more time to the Resource Center. He said that he felt it was time to put distance between himself and RLEP as projects consume a lot of time. “I am taking a step aside, not down or up,” he said. His last RLEP annual meeting as president will be held on Oct. 19 at the Sperryville Fire Hall at 7 p.m., and all are invited to attend. The second half of the meeting, he said, will oe an open discussion of Cliff Miller’s proposed village concept for Sperryville. Mr. Harris is on the community advisory panel for Mr. Miller. Using the Resource Center as a base, he wants to expand the coordination of educational and recreational projects that he has already started, such as hikes, natural history projects, environmentally balanced living practices and providing general information about the region to the public. The hikes, which he leads nearly every weekend that weather permits, are done locally in places such as White Oak Canyon, Old Rag (especially full moon hikes), Mary’s Rock, and several other places, many within Shenandoah National Park. A schedule is available at the Resource Center, or information can be obtained by calling the Center at 6751879. Recreation may be expanded to include walks, campouts, climbing, boating, bike trips, animal identification workshops and classes, he said. Many projects are localized at the Resource Center, but Mr. Harris encourages anyone interested in a project to contact him. ' One of Mr. Harris’s projects will be to work with local, regional and national organizations, educators, schools and entertainers on a watershed protection project entitled “From the Blue Ridge to the Bay.” The project, said Mr. Harris, focusses on protecting the water from our area out to the Chesapeake Bay. Recently he spent a day with a reporter and photographer from the Free Lance Star. They visited the headwaters of the Rappahannock River in Chester Gap and documented an illegal dump there. He is con cemed with this dump at the headwaters of “one of the cleanest rivers in the state.” . He has been in touch with people from the Shenandoah National Park, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Academy of Natural Sciences, and the Izaak Walton League regarding this project. He hopes to have a fundraiser, either here or in Annapolis, sometime within the coming year. Mr. Harris is working with local and regional governments, citizens and other organizations. Another project will be to coordinate several programs that will “expand the walls of the home, school and workplace.” This project will draw upon the expertise and interests of community members, said Mr. Harris. Also, said Mr. Harris, “the Resource Center will be serving as a Portman's 'Sisters' Is Moving By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock Ncwi Contributing Writer If you missed the first two parts of Julie Portman’s touching trilogy about her unusual but endearing family, take heart. The last play My Sister’s Sister, can stand on it own — moving you to sing, chuckle and dab at tears, like her earlier plays did. You can catch it at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 20 and Saturday, Oct. 21 at Ki Theatre on Gay Street in Washington. If you saw How Dad Created the World, the scene of six-year-old Ms. Portman practicing her singing scales on the toilet will always tickle you. If you saw Katie Malone, you’ll never forget the love song Ms. Portman sang at the beginning and at the end, encapsuling the story of how her mother ingeniously coped with her father’s suffocating need to control the family. These first installments in Ms. Portman’s Family Album trilogy were so successful, it’s hard to imagine how she could surpass them. She does. From Dad and Mom, Ms Portman moves to herself and her sister. It’s rich material. It’s the little things of life and the embarrassments of high school. And it’s the big things, reacting to a child killed before your eyes, and going to India to learn a way of dancing that Americans know nothing about. And, finally, it’s the essence of who we are, explored through her relationship with her schizophrenic sister, Mary Jo. Ms. Portman assumes Mary Jo’s voice and brings her to life, capturing her goodness and her confusion: “I like to mix things up,” says Mary Jo. “Life is really like that. People aren’t dead or alive. They are all mixed up.” And certainly the Portmans are mixed up. Dad wants to cure Mary Jo through nutrition. Mom is the peacemaker. Julie is the caregiver. But Mary Jo can’t be cured. Life is really like that. A depressing play? No, oddly enough. There’s so much genuine feeling, so much genuine love, so much genuine joy in it, all you feel at the end is this: What a fascinating life Ms. Portman has had. And what a talented performer, to be able to play a half-dozen roles so convincingly. And, finally, how lucky Ms. Portman is to be married to the man who composed the music of her plays and who sits nearby on stage, playing his instruments. Julie Portman and Paul Reisler fit like old shoes. Both have national reputations, Ms. Portman for Obie award-winning theater and Mr. Reisler for founding and directing the music group Trapezoid. Yet they seem as comfortable, as harmonious, as a couple of locals sitting around a woodstove at a country store. My Sister’s Sister was performed , only once last year at Rappahannock County’s Ki Theatre. Rappahannock News reviewer Carl Coon said: “We started with high expectations, and the performance exceeded them.” Mr. Coon said Ms. Portman’s “dazzling” performance brought the audience to its feet at the end. The show is appropriate for anyone from preteens to the elderly. The performances on Oct. 20 and 21 are the only ones scheduled locally for this season. For tickets, call Ki Theatre at 675-1616. In Rappahannock County, purchase them at Mountainside Market or Cabin Fever Books. The advance price is $10 for adults, half-price for children.

Flower Arrangers at Work By MAURICE HERNDON Rappahannock Nm Contributing Writer Skilled dried flower arrangers are practicing their artistry in creating the hundreds of dried flower arrangements that will be available for sale during the 39th Annual Rappahannock County House Tour and Dried Flower Sale on the weekend of Oct. 21 and 22. These women are members of The Episcopal Churchwomen of Trinity Church in Washington. Decorators, both professional and others, come from all over the area to find arrangements for their varying needs. One of original 39year-old flower arrangements made by the late George Davis who was then the county’s Commonwealth Attorney, is still on display in the home of Mrs. Helen Fairfax in Alexandria. * Headquarter for the House Tour-Dried Flower Sale will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Church from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21 and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 22. Block tickets for the tour and tea will be $10, all of the proceeds go to the outreach activities of the women’s organization. The winding route of the tour will be about 30 miles through magnificent, forested and mountainous countryside, with all routes identified with direction markers. reference center for building community cooperative networks locally, regionally, nationally and globally.” He sees RLEP and PERC as interested in preserving the character of the county and region. “Ragged Mountain I see more as participating and coordinating the component parts that define and create that character,” said Mr. Harris. “I see one of the goals as promoting the practical philosophy that we all can teach to and learn from one another cooperatively more than competitively,” he added. Mr. Harris also hopes to coordinate projects between the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association, Virginia Association of Biological Farmers, the Farm Bureau and farmers. He said that he hopes the public forum process will bring them together, and that a project can be begun to look at agriculture as a community. “This is a true community issue,” he said. One possibility would be to have a farmer’s market in the parking lot ot the Rappahannock Farmers’ Co-op on U.S. 211. In the mid 1980’s there was a Small Farmers’ Market in the county which was quite successful. Local photographer Ted Pellegatta and the Resource Center have collaborated on a color calendar which should be available at the end of November. Mr. Harris said that photos will capture the beauty of Rappahannock and surrounding mountains. It will be a fundraiser to help create a solution to the Old Rag L Hunt Harris concerns. A limited edition of 500 is being printed, and already a third of those have been spoken for, said Mr. Harris. Another dream of Mr. Harris’s would be to set up a barter system in the county for the exchange of work, housing, goods and services. Two community bonfires have been planned to be held in the field next to the Resource Center. The first will be held on Halloween, Oct. 31, and the second on Dec. 9 as part of the town’s Colonial Christmas celebration. The Resource Center will work, said Mr. Harris, if the community supports it and participates in it. All-Russian Concert Planned An all-Russian program marks the start of the 1995-1996 season for the Washington Cristofori Ensemble. The opening concert takes place at 3 p.m.' on Sunday, Oct. 15 at Hie Theatre at Washington. Martin Berkofsky, artistic director of the ensemble, chose two of the mainstays of Russian musical literature for the program: Sergei Rachmaninoffs Sonata Op. 19 in G minor for cello and piano, a work composed in December 1901, and Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Op. 50 in A minor for piano, violin and cello, which is dedicated to the memory of Nicolas Rubinstein. The Cristofori Trio is the core of the ensemble which made its debut as resident ensemble at the Theatre at Washington last season, and performs at the opening concert. Mr. Berkofsky is the Trio’s pianist, Judith Spokes violinist and Kang Xia cellist. When he is not performing abroad, Mr. Berkofsky resides in Fauquier County. Mr. Kang Xia came to the United States from his native China in 1989. He and Ms. Spokes both now live in New York City. The three remaining concerts in the Cristofori’s season will include great works from Germany, France and Italy. Mr. Berkofsky acknowledged that it had been “A tantalizing challenge to select just a handful of compositions by the musical geniuses of these countries.*’ Selecting among compositions for the Russian program to be heard on Oct. 15 was specially challenging, Mr. Berkofsky said. The Rachmaninoff sonata has long been a favorite of his and of the ensemble’s cellist, Kang Xia. Because of its length it fills the first half of the program. The Trio has chosen to play the well-loved Tchaikovsky work for piano, violin and cello after the intermission. This extensive work comprises the entire second part of the concerts. Tickets for the concert are SI3.50 with reservation, $15 at the door. Children’s admission is half price. For reservations, or to obtain a schedule of the Cristofori Ensemble’s fourconcert season, phone 675-1253.

She plied the seven seas and helped a new nation become a world power. But what was their formula for success? God’s power and man’s design making fullest use of it. You don’t have to count the sails or study tne rigging to know that. Is it any different when we employ steam, electricity or nuclear power? These are sources of power God has provided. We design the craft and machinery to put them to use. Try that formula for everyday living. The power comes from God, you put it to the best use. That’s what religion is about! They were wise and skilled Americans who designed the “clipper." They are wise and skilled, likewise, whose week begins with the worship of God, and whose days put his Power to Christian use.

Grains of Truth About Pancakes By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics The pancake is a thin flat cake made from batter and fired on a skillet or griddle. The batter usually consists of eggs, flour, milk or water and oil or melted butter. The recipe often varies to include such ingredients as buttermilk, sugar and sourdough starter. Whether they are called pancakes, griddle cakes or flap jacks, they are among our most popular food choices. Pancakes, in one form or another, are found in almost every' culture. History The oldest form of bread is believe to have been a type of unleavened pancake. It has survived throughout history as a distinct food. In earlier times, English pancakes were often moistened with ale, which had a leavening effect when the pancake was fried. Today, yeast or baking powder or soda are sometimes added to lighten the cake. Availability Pancakes are found on most restaurant breakfast menus across the United States and in most all-purpose cookbooks. There are numerous convenience commercial mixes available in grocery stores that require only the addition of liquid and eggs. They can also be found fully cooked and ready for the microwave in the frozen section of the grocery store. “Silver-dollar” sized pancakes are often popular in restaurants, but pancakes can be big enough to cover an entire plate. Pancakes are traditionally eaten with butter an syrup or powdered sugar. They can also be spread with a sugar or fruit mixture, rolled and eaten by hand. Preparation Hints • Do not over-mix the batter; stir Xust until blended. • Heat a heavy griddle or skillet and grease it lightly . If the batter contains a high fat content (at least 2 tablespoons of fat per cup of liquid) the griddle will not need to be greased. • Test the temperature of the griddle by dropping a few drops of cold water on it. If the water bounces and sputters, the griddle is ready. • Bake until bubble appear on the surface and start to burst. If the underside is golden brown, turn the pancake over. Two to three minutes per side is usually sufficient. storage Pancakes should be served immediately after cooking. It is not recommended that pancakes be reheated as they can become tough. However, if necessary, they can be frozen and reheated in the microwave on low heat. Nutritional Value The 1990 “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” recommends eating six to 1 1 serving of grain foods daily. Pancakes are a part of that food group. Choose toppings wisely to keep the fat content low. Sugar, jams and jellies have only four calories per gram; butter and margarine have nine. Fruits and fruit purees are good topping choices. One 1-ounce pancake (about the size of slice of bread) from a typical home recipe provides: 60 calories, 2 g protein, 9 g carbohydrates, 2 g fat, 16 r HOME ECONOMICS mg cholesterol, .5 g fiber, .5 mg iron and 115 mg sodium. Calories from carbohydrates, 58 percent; protein, 13 percent and fat, 29 percent. Pancakes can also be made “healthier” by substituting 2 egg whites or commercial egg substitute for each whole egg in a recipe, using skim milk or water in place of whole milk, and qsing half whole-wheat flour in a recipe. Variations Blini: A small pancake of Russian and Poland made of both wheat and buckwheat flour, yeast, butter, eggs and milk. Blini are often spread with caviar or slices of smoked salmon, stacked one on top of another and served with sour cream. Blintz: The traditional pancake of Jewish cuisine with an eastern Europe origin. It is fried very thin and rolled with cheese, cream cheese or fruits, such as blueberries or apples and served with sour cream. Cannelloni: An Italian hors d’oeuvre or entree. It may be made with noodle dough or pancake batter. The pancake is spread with a cheese or finely chopped, well-seasoned meat mixture. It is then rolled and covered with a cheese sauce and baked. Crepe: A French pancake. Crepes are made of a flour and egg batter and are very thin and light. They are often spread with jam, fruit, whipped cream or rolled in sweet sauce and served as a dessert. The best known of these* Crepes Suzette, is doused with liqueur and set afire. Crepes may be filled with meat, poultry or cheese and served as an entree. Here are some fall-ish recipes for breakfast or supper. Pancake make a quick meal when you don’t have a lot of time to cook and most kids like them.
