Local Man Attends March By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer James Roy, who graduated from RCHS in 1992, attended the Million Man March in Washington, D C. on Monday. “It was wonderful to be there,” he said, adding that there were definitely over a million people there, probably more like 1.5 million, despite television reports that there were 400,000 attending the march. People stretched from the steps of the Capitol, where the speakers were, to the Washington Monument, said Mr. Roy. Mr. Roy said that he arrived by Metro in D.C. about 8:30 and stayed until 5 p.m. or so. It was a good thing that a lot of people stayed home from work so that traffic moved smoothly, he said. Ben Chavis, a former leader of-the NAACP, was one of the first speakers and he announced that there were a million people there at 9 a.m. He introduced other speakers, including Jesse Jackson, A! Sharpton, and Stevie Wonder, who sang a cappella. Dorothy Height, leader of the Black Womens’ Coalition, spoke about women and men working together. Mr. Roy said that there were other women at the march too. Poet Maya Angelou was there, and Rosa Parks spoke about the march she was on with Martin Luther King. The main message of the march was unity, said Mr. Roy, and everyone there had a great attitude. At one point, everyone was asked to hold a one dollar bill in the air and pass it to the person to their right. Mr. Roy said no one tried to pocket the money. The dollars were passed on and ended up in hugfl bins, which Mr. Roy said would gb to the NAACP, organizers of the march, the ACLU and other organizations. The Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan’s group, had brought 300,000 people to organize and set up the march, Mr. Roy said. Mr. Roy was struck by the great attitude that everyone had and how polite and courteous people were. He said that no arrests were made during the march, and that everyone took responsibility for themselves. Even when he was looking for a parking spot at the Vienna Metro station, people were offering him their parking spots. rife felt that it was not necessary to like Mr. Farrakhan in order to attend and enjoy the march. “All you had to do was like the message,” said Mr. Roy, who said that Mr. Farrakhan is Filling a void which was left by Martin Luther King Jr. when he was killed in 1968. Everyone at the march was asked to get at least eight people registered to vote for the next election. Mr. Roy attended the march with 12 friends who go to college with him at George Mason University. He lives in Fairfax now, and his parents Benjamin and Frances Roy live in Harris Hollow.

Juvenile Crime Gets New Rules By SHERRY JONES Capital Newt Service Richmond — During the past six months the Governor’s Commission on Juvenile Justice Reform has been working to establish more stringent guidelines for m dealing with juvenile offenders. While the commission presented Gov. George Allen with a set of 28 recommendations last week, it began focusing on four areas: • automatically trying and sentencing serious violent offenders age 14 and older as adults, • opening juvenile court proceedings to the public, • establishing military school-style discipline in juvenile correctional centers, • requiring that information regarding incidents of violence or drugs in schools be made available to parents. Attorney General James S. Gilmore III, chairman of the commission, said stricter punishment for juvenile offenders is necessary to curtail the spread of juvenile crime. “The juvenile crime rate in Virginia, as in the rest of the nation has been increasing even though the population of juveniles has decreased,” Mr. Gilmore said. These proposals, he said, will prevent a further increase in juvenile crime. According to statistic^ provided by the commission, Virginia’s juvenile crime rate increased 21 percent form 1980 to 1993. In addition, the total juvenile arrests for 1994 reached its highest rate in the past 15 years, and the juvenile murder arrest rate quadrupled from 1987 to 1993. “The present system was neither designed nor intended to handle the kind of juvenile criminals that we too often see today,” Mr. Gilmore said. “They’re committing rape, armed robbery and murder. The present system of juvenile See Juvenile, Page A-8 Questions » All county Constitutional Officers except Clerk of the Court Diane Bruce are up for reelection this November. Only Sheriff John Henry Woodward is opposed in this election. The Rappahannock News sent a questionaire to him and challenger Gary Settle. Besides asking for their education and law enforcement background they were asked the following questions: 1. Why do you believe you are or will be a good Sheriff? 2. What do you believe are the strengths of the current Sheriffs Office? 3. What do you believe are the weaknesses of the current Sheriffs Office? 4. What challenges do you expect the Sheriffs Office to face in the next four years? They were also asked to evaluate the emphasis in the office currently in various areas as getting “Not Enough,’’“About Right,” or “Too Much.” The areas were traffic control, drug enforcement, drug education, domestic violence, criminal investigation, timely response, keeping costs down, community relations, and training of personnel. Not surprisingly, Sheriff Woodward rated all these areas as getting the emphasis “About Right.” Mr. Settle rated traffic control as getting “Too Much” emphasis and all other areas as getting “Not Enough” emphasis. Van Dort Chosen Town Treasurer Survey Generates Anger By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The four members of the Washington Town Council then present unanimously elected Louise Van Dort town treasurer. Present for the vote at the Town Council meeting last Wednesday were Mayor Stewart Willis and members Ray Gooch, Charlie Tompkins, and Peter Skowronski. Members Steve Critzer and Reinhardt Lynch missed the vote as they came to the meeting just after it was taken. Mr. Tompkins made the motion to nominate Ms. Van Dort, and Mr. Skowronski seconded it. There were no further nominations. Mr. Gooch called for a recorded vote and all voted “aye.” Ms. Van Dort was not present for the vote. She had gone from the meeting to her office to retrieve the survey of town streets prepared by John Baumgardner, which provided the only significant controversy in the meeting. When she returned, Ms. Van Dort was sworn in by Circuit Court Clerk Diane Bruce. This event was greeted with applause, and Ms. Van Dort took her seat at the council table. In the May, 1994, town election Ms. Van Dort lost the election for town treasurer to Tom 2|umwalt by 11 votes. Mr. Zumwalt resigned to move to Texas last month. During that election copies of a lien filed on Ms. Van Dort by the IRS were anonymously circulated in town. The IRS has since released the lien. During discussion of the survey, Mr. Baumgardner said that no previous survey of town streets exists. He prepared the survey by going back to the deeds of all the properties bordering town streets and assuming the streets were made up of land not Conveyed in those deeds. Irma Jenkins and her grandson Jeff Butler protested the survey, saying it included part of the porch on Mrs. Jenkins’s house and a shed Mr. Butler uses to repair cars. The driveway past Mrs. Jenkins’s house is a stub of Calvert Street. Mr. Butler said See Council, PageA-8 L j da,;_ Gary Thomas Settle Age - 34 Manned Education - graduated from RCHS, attended George Mason University, I ord Fairfax Community College, New River Community College, John Tyler Community College, 10-month Administration Program (covered computer operation, community policing and criminal law) Law Enforcement background and training - Deputy, Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office 1984-86; State Trooper, Virginia State police 1986-1993; Sergeant with State Police 1993-1995; Shenandoan Criminal Justice Training Academy - 12 weeks; Virginia State Police See Settle, Page A-8 J 1_amm._ John Henry Woodward.

KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Marta Tholand, one of Rappahannock County’s most beloved residents, died of cancer at her home in Washington, Oct. 14. She was 80 years old. Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Marta Amalie Ubrika von Platen came to the United States in 1939 as a 24-year-old hostess to the Swedish exhibition at the New York World’s Fair. There she met Nils Kristian Gustaf Tholand, KVO, an entrepreneur also from Sweden. He was to be tier loving husband. During the war years she served the Swedish Legation (there was then no embassy) in New York and Washington, D.C., as secretary. She and Mr. Tholand married and took up residence in New York City, and later they acquired the historic Piedmont Farm in the F.T. Valley south of Sperryville as a summer home. In the early 1950s they moved permanently to Piedmont. There Mrs. Tholand busied herself raising a family, entertaining friends and business associates, and welcoming international members of the diplomatic corps to their home. She served on the Rappahannock County School Board representing Hawthorn District from 1963 to 1970. She was active in Red Cross blood drives and worked as a pink lady- at the Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Marta Tholand will be keenly missed for her zest, her warmth, and her dear friendship. She will be remembered as a gentle person who never said anything mean about anyone (who didn’t deserve it). She founded the annual Rappahannock County Labor Day Mixed Doubles Whistlecup Tennis Tournament. She was also a founding member of the Rappahannock Bloody Mary Bridge Club (RBMBC). As a cook with gourmet credentials, she prepared Swedish recipes that greatly contented her guests. Until recently Mrs. Tholand maintained her strenuous schedule of travel at home and abroad. She regularly visited her family in Sweden and often vacationed with friends in Florida, Nantucket and Charleston, S.C. A vigorous walker, she became a familiar Figure on the streets of her beloved "Little Washington.” Mrs Tholand’s husband died in 1971. She is survived by two sons and her daughter, Carolyn, four grandchildren, and her sister Charlotte Noreus of Stockholm. Her family suggests that in lieu of flowers or other gifts of sympathy, contributions be made to the Hospice of the Rapidan. At her specific request, no formal funeral or memorial service will be held.

Mr. Yonts is 51 and also lives in Sperryville. According to Deputy. Connie Compton’s report on the incident, Mr. Bright hit Mr. Yonts in the side and in the stomach. He was bleeding from the stomach, but did not have to go to the hospital. The incident occurred at the residence of Mildred Blakely on U.S. 211 in Sperryville in the early evening last Wednesday. A petition for assault is being sought for a 14 year-old girl who allegedly assaulted another 14 yearold girl at the high school last Wednesday. According to Deputy Chris Williams, who investigated the incident, the assault took place after the one girl was seen talking to the other’s boyfriend. She had threatened her earlier in the day and received a three day suspension for that. Dep. Williams said that the girl who was hit said that she was hit from behind in the back of the head, then must have blacked out after being knocked down, because she doesn’t remember anything after that first hit, but believes she was hit a couple more times while she was down on the floor. She sustained minor cuts, scrapes and bruises, and Dep. Williams said that her parents took her to the hospital and notified the Sheriff s Office of the incident. RCHS principal Jack Raines said that he suspended the girl for the maximum of ten days. The next step, he said, is for her to go before the dis School Board Candidates' Forum Scheduled for RCHS A candidates’ forum for School Board candidates will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 24 at the Rappahannock County High School auditorium.

Joe Williams, who lives on Route 660 in Chester Gap, reported on Oct. 9 that a 32-foot heavy duty ladder worth $150 was stolen from his yard. v Betty Doles of Route 616 in Castleton reported last Friday that when she got home it appeared that someone had tried to get into her basement door, she said nothing had been taken. John Cadwalader of Woodville reported last Friday that someone had dumped trash alongside Route 621 by the Covington River. Dep. Richard Hunter of the Sheriffs Office found out who the trash belonged to and called them to come and clean it up, which they did. Norman Vest, 60, of Huntly, did $2,000 damage to his 1991 Ford 4door on the afternoon of Oct. 9. According to a report filed by Virginia State Trooper Chuck Moore, Mr. Vest was travelling east on U.S. 211, .2 mile east of U.S. 522, when he ran off the right side of the road, struck the guard rail, veered off the road and struck another guard rail. Trooper Moore arrested Mr. Vest for driving under the influence. Entertainment at the Old Jail Pub Wednesday... DJ.

Although it was not possible to test all the tanks, and testing will continue this month, those that were tested included some with smoke coming out of the pipes in the ground, out of eaves under the roofs, and out of the ground itself. Water and Sewer Authority member Richard Smith asked at last Thursday’s meeting if the problems found so far could be fixed, and if fixing them would enable the WSA to escape having to install an overflow tank. Member Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he did not know. Every place smoke came out is a potential way extra water could get in, he said. Mr. Estes made a motion which the authority unanimously adopted on a roll call vote giving County Attorney Peter Luke authority to collect the account of John Shipman. The WSA had previously passed such a motion, and Mr. Luke found that county real estate taxes were owed in addition to the WSA bill. Mr. Shipman paid the real estate taxes, but the WSA bill remains unpaid. WSA members spent a great deal of time deciding on an EDU (equivalent to a dwelling unit) formula for Brian Ross’s Mountainside Market building. Mr. Ross had asked to have seven and a half EDUs reserved while the building was under construction. Member Carson Johnson visited the facility once it was completely occupied and decided a strict application of the formula would mean assessing the Rosses for nine EDUs. After considerable discussion the authority settled on eight EDUs. Mr. Johnson explained that the county’s bill for salaries of WSA staff had not Tet been paid. He said once revenues from the Oct. 1 billing start coming in, the WSA will be able to pay the bill. WSA members agreed to work with Mr. Luke to develop a new user agreement.

Jay Katzen. One on one he is sympathetic to almost any county resident’s cause. He puts in many hours trying to be helpful. However, when he goes to Richmond, he no longer seems to represent the interests of the people of the county and the rest of the 31st District. Rather he becomes the voice of Gov. George Allen and works for the enactment of the governor’s program, regardless of its frequently undesired impact on his constituents. Gov. Allen inherited a state with a national reputation for fiscal conservatism. Yet he talks and acts as though he was elected governor of Massachusetts. The state is not responsible for the taxes most Virginians find burdensome. Increasingly it is local real estate taxes that burden citizens, and the increase in real estate taxes is the direct result of the state cutting its level of service, forcing local governments to pick up the difference. Many people seem inclined to base their vote in the 31st District contest on Del. Katzen’s support for the now defunct Disney’s America project proposed for Prince William County. In two years in the General Assembly Del. Katzen cast hundreds of votes. It is not any one vote but the tenor of two years of General Assembly sessions that should be the basis for the decision. Sue Scheer has become publicly involved largely as a member of the Fauquier Planning Commission. In that position she dealt with many proposals for developments. Some won her favor; some did not. Following the Disney announcement, she became involved in the fight against Disney. But it was the whole of the last session of the General Assembly that caused her to seek a seat in the House of Delegates. Of particular concern was the governor’s proposed budget that would have cut funding for education, meals for seniors, libraries, the Extension Service and numerous other state services, all cuts that were supposed to fund a minor reduction in the state income tax. Since deciding to make the run she has spent considerable time learning about the concerns of the citizens of the three counties in the 31st District. She has listened well. If Mrs. Scheer is elected Rappahannock County and its interests will be well represented in Richmond. Sue Scheer deserves the support of the voters of Rappahannock County. Gary Settle John Henry Woodward has given 12 years good of service to the county as Sheriff. Under Sheriff Woodward heavy emphasis has been placed on fiscal restraint, keeping his budget to the point where very few local dollars are needed to fund the Sheriff’s Office. The jail has made a small profit. The cost to the county of fringe benefits for department employees is at least in part covered by fires collected by Sheriffs deputies writing tickets for driving violations. That has become one of the main issues of the campaign. The department is fairly criticized for having deputies devote too much of their time to patrolling with radar, work which is primarily the responsibility of the State Police. But if the State Police write the ticket, the state gets the money. If a Sheriffs deputy writes the ticket, the county gets a share of the money. However, many county citizens do not see speeding as the major concern of the Sheriffs Office. They would prefer to see other areas of law enforcement receive more attention. Challenger Gary Settle, also a Rappahannock native whose wife is the high school secretary, brings to the table two years experience with our Sheriff s Office and a vitally important 10 years in the area in a wide range of work as a Virginia State Trooper and Sergeant. Mr. Settle’s campaign has focused strongly on taking law enforcement against crimes on our back roads, on drug law enforcement, and bringing new accessibility of the Sheriff to the people. He is the right man at the right time to become Rappahannock’s Sheriff. Bicyclists Missing To the Editor: On Oct; 1 a St. Judes Bike-a-Thon was held on Dearing Road near Flint Hill. The day was beautiful, a little nip in the air but just enough sun and a little breeze to make it a near perfect day. There was only one thing that could have gone wrong. No Riders! Where were they? Was it too perfect a day? Was it the football game? Well, that was being played via radio at two water stands. Was it the Fall Festival at Sperryville? Well, we had prizes; thank<i to Mrs. Patti Brown in Flint Hill for donating three prizes for the top three riders. We also had a door prize to be awarded to anyone who helped or rode in the Bike-a-Thon, an autographed football from the Redskins. Although we only had two sponsored riders, Amanda and Bobbie Jo Brown, they happily raised $280 and rode a total of 13 miles in two hours. My special thanks to Zack Corbin for helping and adding two hours to his Boy Scout community service obligation, also to Ed Clark, Bobby Brown, and Tanya Bass for helping with the check points. Prize winners were Amanda Brown, top rider, Bobbie Jo, second and Zack Corbin, third for being committed to his community service. The autographed football went to Bobby Brown. St. Jude’s Hospital deserves a lot of support from all communities. They never turn a child away who had cancer, Aids or any other life threating disease for any reason. All of this is at no cost to the parents. Being a parent of two children I sincerely admire their dedication and never ending ability to treat all the little children. The Bike-a-Thon is an annual event, so next year please find it in your hearts to participate and feel good about helping such a wonderful cause. If you would like to donate to St. Judes you still can. Please contact me at 675-3624. SARAH C. BROWN Washington Support Scheer To the Editor: I’m writing to encourage people to vote and vote for Sue Scheer on Nov. 7. Here’s why: Each one of us is feeling pressure from development of our precious countryside. We have a voice and need to vote to help preserve this place we call home. Sue Scheer has lived in the district for 30 years, raised a family, and farms the land with her husband, Julian. She understands the ways of rural life that are near and dear to us. Her opponent, on the other hand, moved into the district to run for office, rents a house, doesn’t pay any real estate tax, and has lived in the district only slightly longer them his term as delegate. This is the first elected office Mrs. Scheer has run for and the more I learn about her, the more I admire her courage and faith to stand up for her beliefs. Sue Scheer is not a career politician, but a concerned citizen who has the intelligence and sensibility to respect her tri-county district well in Richmond. I attended the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association debate to learn more about the issues and am now even more compelled to encourage people to vote for her. I heard Sue Scheer speak directly to the people with answers that helped clarify the issues. I watched her opponent, Jay Katzen attack her and perform theatrics for the audience dodging questions and talking about nonrelated topics. His answers only further confused the issues. We need a real person, not an actor on stage in Richmond to represent us. Think through what is in the best interest for you and our beautiful Rappahannock and please vote on Nov. 7 for Sue Scheer. BRENDA VAN NESS Washington Elect Republicans To the Editor: It’s hard to believe, but the Democratic Party has ruled our General Assembly for one hundred and twelve years. That’s almost twice as long as Queen Victoria ruled Great Britain, and six times longer than Genghis IGian’s rule. It’s time that the Democratic dynasty came to an end. In 1883, the Democrats won majorities in both houses of the General Assembly. The following year, they pushed through the Anderson-McCormick election law, which gave them complete control over the election machinery, consisting of the registrars, the judges, and the clerks. They have been in power ever since. Through most of this period, they under-funded public education, and they fought tooth and nail to keep the public schools segregated. (Isn’t it ironic that public education is this year’s official Democratic campaign theme?) When the liberals took over in the 1970’s, they dumped the party’s pay-as-you-go fiscal policy and replaced it with tax-and-spend. We’ve been paying ever since. Chastened by the Republicans’ showing in the 1993 elections, the Democrats allowed Gov. Allen’s welfare reform program to pass in 1994, but they came back strong this year to block his entire legislative package. Welfare reform is going very well, so Dickie Cranwell, the Democrats’ leader in the House, has vowed to unwind the program. If he can keep his majority, that is. One-party dominance must come to an end. We can do our part by returning Del. Katzen to the House. Jay stands for strong public education and fiscal responsibility. He and his colleagues are ready to initiate a new era for the Commonwealth. ROBERT M. DARBY Woodville Oppose Settle's Vision To the Editor: I was just visited! No one ever comes here to visit. This was unusual! It was a nice looking young man in a pickup truck and my first thought was that someone wanted to ask about hunting rights. Well, I wasn’t entirely wrong. My visitor was Gary Settle, candidate for Rappahannock County Sheriff. How do you like that? A personal visit to the end of a dead end rural road by a political candidate to meet the constituency face to face. A \ Ah yes! / can see clearly , now. Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News StaffPhoto by Cindy Mahap Colton Clate, 2, of Amissville, got a fire chief hat at the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department open house. real personal touch to vote getting, I say! Now from meeting Mr. Settle I have to say he is a very pleasant and personable individual. What he had to say, on the other hand, did not please so much. I was not, nor am I usually, much for midday conversation with politicians while my work piles up around me; nonetheless, I was cordial and politely listened. 1 understand that Mr. Settle represents a desire for more technology in our law enforcement (he says he comes from ten years with the Virginia State Police and knows about these things) and more law enforcement to boot (says he thinks the County needs back roads patrols). He feels that Rappahannock County is changing and our police efforts need to keep a pace. Mr. Settle, veteran of ten years with the Virginia State Police, is undoubtedly qualified as a law enforcement officer. If he was simply applying for a job in that capacity perhaps he would be selected. Is the elected office of Rappahannock County Sheriff just about police skills? 1 think not. The elected office of Sheriff is about tone, style and vision. My vision and Mr. Settle’s do not match. I am not a native of this County, but I do have a clear picture of why I moved here in 1973 to make a home. I wasn’t running from a crime ridden Sodom and Gomorrah: I was just not interested in living in a city environment with a plethora of people and services and the costs in taxes that go with it. I wanted space and privacy. I did not want a “suburban” lifestyle nor do I expect or want the services that go with it. I believe that there is already way too much intrusion by law enforcement and government agencies in our lives. I don’t need regular patrols by our County Sheriff to feel safe here in Rappahannock County. (Personally, I am not even interested in having a “street address” a la 911). I also do not need the increase in taxes to support more police staff, more police equipment, and more police involvement in my life. The business of law enforcement and jails is the largest growth industry in the United States today. Do we, here in Rappahannock County, really feel that the world will leave us by the wayside unless we participate? I, for one, prefer the backwater to the mainstream if that is the direction of society today. Once again. Mr. Settle’s vision is not one I can support. T.J. PAGANO Flint Hill Reject Negativity To the Editor: I believe that Jay Katzen and Sue Scheer both deeply care about children. Therefore, I am putting forth a request that they conduct their campaigns with children at the forefront of their thinking — in other words, that they treat each other like they would want their own children to behave. I cannot imagine that Jay Katzen and Sue Scheer would encourage a brother and sister to attack each oth-. er’s character in pursuit of what he or she wants, or to win by any means necessary or to have others act cruelly toward the competitor in their place. Even though seasoned campaign managers advise that these tactics work very well, common sense tells me that if they aren’t what we wish for our children, they are ill-advised for grown-ups. Jay Katzen and Sue Scheer are siblings in the same family — the family of our country. This “family” is doing the bitter, difficult work of self-government. The United States is the first country in 40,000 years of human history that has had a vision of “liberty and justice for all,” regardless of race, creed, color or class. This new and awesome mission defies all previous forms of rule with its belief in the importance of each individual. Our democracy is messy and imperfect. We have a long way to go, but we may never get there, because we are drowning in a sea of negativity. Every time I see candidate-forsheriff Gary Settle’s beafttiful signs of the Rappahannock map, a sun, “Towards a better tomorrow” and “Dedication, loyalty and pride,” 1 get more loyalty, dedication and pride in the place where I live. I am strengthened by the ideas in his campaign, which are at nobody’s expense. I hope Sue Scheer and Jay Katzen continue to put forth their ideas of what is good and how they want the region to be, as they both have. The differences in their visions are usefiil food for thought. Campaigning,is a tough, grueling, expensive task and 1 thank them both for undertaking it. , There are a few weeks left of the race for delegate, where strategies have been planned for months. Every time Sue Scheer and Jay Katzen choose to address an issue’s complexity and pain and come up with ere1 ative solutions, our society will be in better shape, no matter who wins. Every time a choice is made to* tear apart someone else, Democrat or Republican, in order to reach a goal, our fragile democracy will continue to be strangled by “politics as usual.” ; The children are watching.

> By WILLIE EASTHAM Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer Rappahannock’s girls basketball teams found some success between the two of them in the past week for the first time this year. The Junior Varsity team broke into the victory column last Tuesday night against the Cougars of Manassas Park. r The Panthers dominated the game early and rode their early lead to a final 36-33 in Manassas. Sonya Wiggington scored 22 points including 18 in the first half on the strength of her excellent defensive play. She repeatedly stole the ball from outmatched Cougar bal [handlers and converted each opportunity into a layup at Golfing Greats mmmmmmm ' Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Manan At Bowling Green South Monday, Rappahannock golfer Frank Reynolds hit the longest drive, Brian Bouffard won low gross at 79, Dennis Fairbrother had low net at 71, and Raynor Snead and Brian Bouffard tied for closest to the pin. Rain Dampens Soccer Games Rain canceled many of the soccer games scheduled for Saturday, but one game was played despite the rain, thanks to some quick collaboration by husband-and-wife coaches K.C. and Lorinda Bosch. Mr. Bosch coaches a U-14 team. Mrs. Bosch coaches a U-12 team. Both Bosch teams were scheduled to play at St. Luke’s, but when they arrived, they learned they could not use the rain-damped fields because the school was concerned about damaging the grass. . ■ Some of the Rappahannock parents had driven an hour for the game, and the children were sorely disappointed. The referee drove to Culpeper’s soccer stadium, found that it was free, and returned to St. Luke’s, inviting everyone to shift to the other stadium.

And Mr. Bosch didn’t have enough U-14 players to field a full team. But he did have some opponents — Culpeper U-14s had shown up. So Mrs. Bosch lent Mr. Bosch her U-12 players, and the game ended with a 1-1 tie. the Panthers’ end of the court. Beth Magee also contributed 6 points. The Varsity Panthers, however, fell to the Cougars by a score of 4934. Coach Laura Conklin said after the game she felt the Panthers suffered a “defensive breakdown in a game they should have won.” The Panthers were led by forward Cari Kerr’s 10 points and 13 rebounds. Kylene Wolfe also scored 10 points while adding 6 rebounds for her own. The Varsity Panthers were again in action Thursday night against the Brentsville Tigers. The Panthers came out flat in the game and never really were able to spark any enthusiasm. Their offense sputtered throughout the game. Coach Conklin said, “We had no real gleaming flaws, however, we’re just not playing anywhere near out potential.” Sarah Gentry played an aggressive offensive game to score 8 points. Guard Kylene Wolfe also added 8 on the strength of her outside shooting. The Junior Varsity ladies suffered a let down after their victory Tuesday and also fell to the Tigers by a core of 21-16. Foul trouble plagued offensive threat Sonya Wiggington and left the Panthers with little scoring punch. Mandolyn Ashby led the way with 6 points. This week’s Panther Player of the Week is back on the court. Junior Varsity point guard Sonya Wiggington gains the honor for her major role in the team’s victory over Manassas Park. WCDS Volleyball Adds 2 Wins The girls’ varsity volleyball team at Wakefield Country Day school picked up two more victories with wins over Emmanuel Christian School (ECS) of Manassas and Massanutten Military Academy. ECS came into this competition with a record of 4 and 1. WCDS had contributed to this record in a pre-season tournament loss, so Coach Pam Henry reviewed the stats and made changes in the lineup before the rematch. WCDS dominated play in the first two games with 15-7 and 15-12 victories. EMS taking advantage of WCDS serving faults and poor hits, won games 3 and 4 (15-5 and 15-6). With two wins apiece “WCDS junior Bridget Hickson led her team with a powerful attack that rekindled the momentum needed for the Owls to pick up the pieces and beat EMS 15-7 in the final game and claim match victory,” Coach Henry said. In the earlier game with Massanutten Military Academy WCDS had a three-game sweep, winning with scores Of 15-4, 15-2, and 15-3.

Unfortunately, Rappahannock had to run without two of their top three runners, who were lost due to illness. Central, the best team in the District, took advantage of this and blew away the field with an impressive score of 18. Rapp took second place with 56 points. Stonewall Jackson 60, Manassas Park 110 and George Mason 135 came in third, fourth and fifth, respectively. The first-place runner was Central’s Jim Dlugasch, running a course record time of 16:14. Mark Jenkins, placing fourth, finished first from Rapp, running a time of 17:33, Jennings Hobson, a junior was second for the Panthers and eighth in the race. Chris Dennis, Caleb Property, and RJ White were Rappahannock’s last three scoring runners, placing thirteenth, fourteenth and seventeenth. Finishing up the varsity team were Jesse Rogers, 20th and Nile Watson, 22nd. In the girls’ race, Rappahannock also came in second. George Mason took the meet, scoring a 46 to Rapp’s 47. Central placed third with 50 points while Stonewall Jackson scored 81. Manassas Park did not field a team for lack of runners. Stonewall Jackson’s Sabrina Sabert won the meet, running a race time of 20:51. Holly Gangel, placing second, was once again Rapp’s top runner, finishing a} 21:05. Jessie Gheen 3rd, Myriam Lathuille 10th and Lauren Sharp 13th were the second, third, and fourth Panther runners. Rounding out the team was Emily Sims 19th, Robyn Kaye 23rd and Claire Schadler 27th. On Monday, the Panthers ran against Luray and Page high schools in an out of district meet. Rappahannock won both races easily. The Panthers had an almost-perfect 18 in the boys’ race, defeating Page (42) by 24 points. Luray finished third with 82 points. Rapp senior Mark Jenkins took the meet, running a time of 17:46. The rest of the five scoring runners were: Eddie Sause, second overall; Chris Sause, third overall; Jennings Hobson, fifth and Matt Wolfe, seventh. Rappahannock automatically won the girls’ race because Luray and Page could not field full teams. With Holly Gangel absent. Panther Jessie Gheen stepped in and placed first in the meef The other scoring runners were: Meghan Fairbrother, second overall; Caroline Baumgardener, third overall; Emily Sims, fifth overall; and Myriam Lathuille, sixth. — -tv ini— lUMliMMIIMI—MIK m-mr-r Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan.

Suncatcner Sales To Aid Flood Relief By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Glassblower Eric Kvames and the Faith Mountain Company are selling a newly designed sun catcher, “Tree of Life,” to raise money for flood victims of this area. Mr. Kvames is donating a third of his profits for the sun catcher, and Faith Mountain is selling it in their catalog for $10 instead of the usual price of $12.95. The money raised goes to United Way, said Cheri Woodard of Faith Mountain, which is collecting the funds to distribute to victims of last June’s floods. Mrs. Woodard said that it has been forecasted that 2500 of the suncatchers will sell through her catalog. Christina Ward, who helps Mr. Kvames make the suncatchers, designed the Tree of Life sun catcher, which is made of cobalt blue glass with a evergreen tree and stars in the sky. Mr. Kvarnes’ suncatchers have been an enormously successful product in the Faith Mountain catalog. He estimates that he has sold 25,000 of his suncatchers through the catalog over the last couple of years. The other designs are a heart shape and a sun. Mj-s. Woodard said that her husband Martin Woodard spearheaded the idea to sell the suncatchers to raise money for flood victims. In the catalog, the Woodards explain that the small community here was hit especially hard, “making national news as roads, bridges, homes and even people were washed away.” Also, “Since the holidays are a time of giving and thanks, we at Faith Mountain feel it is especially important to continue reaching out to our neighbors at this time.” Two Hospice Nurses Certified The Hospice Nurses Association announced recently that registered nurses Dawn Rutledge and Kathy Clements are among the first 12 percent of Hospice nurses nationwide to become certified in this complex nursing discipline. Both nurses work for Hospice of the Rapidan, Virginia’s premiere licensed Hospice serving Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock Counties. Hospice nursing is the provision of palliative care to terminally ill patients with a goal of meeting their physical, psychosocial, emotional and spiritual needs. Nurses work with an interdisciplinary Hospice team to pro vide 24-hour nursing availability, pain and symptom management, bereavement support and volunteer services. The first test for certification was administered in March, 1994. Only licensed registered nurses with extensive experience in Hospice are eligible to test for certification. Once they pass the intensive test measuring their competence in all areas of Hospice nursing, they may use the title Certified Registered Nurse Hospice (CRNH). Dawn Rutledge of Culpeper and Kathy Clements, a resident of Madison, are the only Hospice nurses currently practicing in this area who can use the title.

Inn's Expansion, Gallery Paint Colors Win ARB Aproval By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Mernbers of the Washington Architectural Review Board approved plans for owners of The Inn at Little Washington to expand their kitchen, add two new rooms for lodging, and a new sign. The new sign, which Inn coowner Patrick O’Connell said he believes is not technically a sign, is a 56-inch tall white obelisk, with brass letters spelling out “The Inn” on one side. The obelisk, which resembles the Washington monument, will be located near the stop sign by The Inn. Mr. O’Connell, who is a member of the ARB and did not vote on his applications, presented the plans for the Inn’s kitchen expansion and two new rooms, which will be above the new kitchen. He explained that the kitchen has been basically the same since 1978, though the staff has increased a lot since then. He said that the rear facade, where the kitchen is, will be as attractive as the front of the building when finished. All of the stucco, trim, a new chimney, and Chippendale railing will match the existing style. “We do not intend to introduce any new architectural elements. We decided if we were going to start fresh we were going to make it magnificent.” Mr. O’Connell explained that they could not have applied for the expansion before because of the setbacks between the back of The Inn and the Sisk house on Main St. He and co-owner Reinhardt Lynch own the Sisk house which borders on the Inn property.

ARB member Dwight Matthews said that he had no problem with the application itself, but he was concerned with the encroachment on the Sisk house. “There is a question about whether that encroachment is a problem,” he said. Mr. O’Connell explained that the - property is now zoned commercial and it is very unlikely that the Sisk house would be turned back into a single family house. “Our original idea was to move both the houses (the Sisk house and the house next to it on Main St.) but it was too much for the town to digest,” he said. Mr. Matthews said he felt the design of the expansion was totally dependent on the Sisk property in order for it to work. ARB chairman Ed Barton said that he felt it was not within he purview of the ARB to discuss the Sisk House. “ Mr. Q’Connell assured Mr. Matthews that it would be in the best interest of the Inn to make the Sisk house look beautiful, and hopes that the Sisk house will look like a carriage house or gardener’s house next to The Inn. “I hope that after 18 years people have enough trust in us that something calamitous would not happen to this house,” he said, adding that the average developer would have obliterated the house. Mr. Matthews still stood his ground, saying that the encroachment on the Sisk house is a non-acceptable encroachment. He voted against The Inn’s application, and the rest of the board voted in favor of it. ^ To comply with the ARB, an application was filed for the Middle Street Gallery to paint the outside of the gallery. Before the application was made, the gallery was painted using colors that were not on the list of approved colors. The ARB voted to approve the application, decided the colors were appropriate, and added them to the town’s list of approved colors.

Cub Scout Pack Grows By LIBET PIERSON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Cub Scout Pack 123 has more than doubled in size thanks to an excellent turnout at School Night held at Rappahannock County Elementary School. The success of this event is, in part, due to the series of assemblies held earlier in the week in the school auditorium. Bill Haley and Ann Hall, representatives of the Shenandoah Area Council Boy Scouts of America, spoke to first through fifth graders about the fun and adventures awaiting them in Scouting. These assemblies clearly sparked the interest of many boys, who convinced their parents to bring them to School Night. At School Night, newly registered scouts and their parents had an opportunity to meet the den leaders and some of the other boys in their dens. They also watched videotapes of 199495 scouting events which gave them a preview of the activities they will be taking part in in the coming months. Den leaders were very pleased to have a few parents volunteer to help at den meetings right on the spot at School Night. With increased membership in very age group, Cub Scout leaders will be needing even more parent volunteers to help at weekly and monthly meetings. More leaders and assistant leaders will make possible a really active and exciting program. Parental involvement is particularly welcoijie Qtnd necessary) in the younger Tiger and Wolf Cub dens. Any adult interested in participating, even if only on an occasional basis, please talk to your child’s den leader or contact Cubmaster David Reidel at 675-3638. The Scouting program in Rappahannock County is growing stronger thanks to the support of many members of the community. The Scouts and leaders of Pack 123 would like in particular to thank RCES Principal Raye Tupper, Assistant Principal Richard Smith, Mrs. Kidwell and Mrs. Massie for their help in setting up this past weeks event. Those who were unable to attend School Night, but who are interested in Scouting may call Cubmaster Reidel for information on registering.

His record has been rejected by the voters, so he has dreamed up a new record. But it’s too late. He has broken his promises to school children, college students, senior citizens and those who want clean air and clean water. He has voted against all the major concerns. He is running a campaign that tells you otherwise. For instance, he supported $92 million in cuts to elementary and secondary education and to higher education. He voted to weaken environmental laws. He even supported cuts to "Meals on Wheels". His most blatant vote was against sending 100% of lottery funds directly to local schools. He was only one of two—two!—to vote against that bill. Luckily, it passed 96 to 2 with Republicans and Democrats joining forces, despite Katzen's efforts. SO WHAT DOES HE DO? With a record like that, how do you convince the voters you really represent them? Katzen simply re-writes history. He falsifies his record and runs newspaper and radio ads as if we are not the wiser. A good example is an ad that claims he brought $5 million in new education money to the District. It simply isn't true! WE HAVE AN ANSWER Republicans for Sue Scheer was organized when Republicans in the 31st District decided they could no longer support Jay Katzen. That Katzen was not only outof-step with Virginians and this District, but out-of-step with his Party. Fortunately, Sue Scheer offers a wonderful alternative. For 30 years she has worked tirelessly for us right at home in the 31st District. She served on the Fauquier Planning Commission, was president of the Fauquier Unit of the American Cancer Society, served on the board of the Fauquier Mental Health Association. She has been active in our schools and has a strong professional and legislative background. She also is vice president of the Cedar Run Rescue Squad Auxiliary. Most importantly, Sue Scheer brings integrity and sensitivity to the job. VOTE SUE SCHEER FOR DELEGATE Authorized by Republicans for Sue Scheer

Also 29 years as a volunteer firefighter, the last 13 as fire chief. 1. I believe I am a good sheriff because I provide the best cost effective law enforcement possible. I have tried to spend the tax payers’ money as if it was my own, knowing that no one wants to pay any more taxes than necessary, but still not jeopardizing law enforcement for the county. I provide my deputies with the most up to. date equipment to perform their duties, but still I am not buying every new idea that hits the market. I have always tried to provide the best trained deputies possible to serve the citizens of Rappahannock County, so they could perform their duties to the utmost. Since I have been sheriff, I have dedicated myself to keeping my oper ation up to date with the resources available to me. In 1984 I opened a dispatch center to dispatch the Sheriffs Office and fire and rescue. Since then I have worked hard to improve its operation, with the latest improvement being the long-awaited Enhanced 911 system. In 1984 I also reopened the Rappahannock County jail which has allowed us to keep our prisoners, plus prisoners from other jurisdictions for a fee. This operation has been a revenue generator for the citizens of the county. The jail has provided inmates with drug and alcohol counseling, AA meetings, religious services and GED education. The jail has also implemented electronic home incarceration for juveniles when there has been no place to put them. During my 12 years as Sheriff I have never had a jail/prisoner or law enforcement-related law suit. If you look closely at my record over the past years, I think you will see that I am the best candidate for the job of Sheriff. 2. I believe the strengths of the current Sheriffs Office are the personnel, the amount of cases that are solved, the many services that the office provides like building checks, opening car doors, school traffic control, speed enforcement in the towns, enforcement of the county tag ordinance, DARE programs, weapons in. school program and so forth, also the operation of the jail and the many programs it offers to the inmates. The Sheriffs Office has come a long way in the last 20 years, bringing back dedication, experience and professionalism. I am very proud of my organization and its accomplishments. 3. I am not saying that we don’t make mistakes at times, but overall I do not think that the current Sheriffs Office has any major weaknesses. 4. The biggest challenge of the next four years will be funding and manpower to meet the needs of the citizens. Every day I read more and more about law enforcement and jail operations having to cut back on services that they had always provided to the public. With these cutbacks it is imperative that an administrator use the resources to the best advantage of the county. With the knowledge that I have of the operations of the Sheriffs Office and the jail, I can continue to provide the services that the county and citizens deserve. ► Settle From Page A-l Academy - 23 weeks; Drug Recognition/Operation Alert training; SWAT School; general instructor/ firearms instructor, Operation Pipeline/Drug interdiction (DEA); Pepper Mace Spray insturctor, Criminal Firearms Clearinghouse Training, Grievance procedure/classification and compensation training for supervisors; First line supervision training; Supervisor radar recertification; breathalyzer training; incident base report training; vicarious civil liability training; and training in crisis intervention and search and rescue, member of the Spenyville Volunteer Fire Department 1982-95. 1.

Allen called the system “flawed,” saying children are being given too many chances. “We must detour those committed to a life of violence,” he said. “We must detour them into the right facilities. We have to send a message to these young thugs that there are not going to be any more second chances.” While many agree with the commission’s recommendations, others consider these proposals inappropriate for juvenile offenders. Sen. Jackson E. Reasor Jr., D Bluefield, said he has reservations about the proposals, especially in the area of juvenile court proceedings. Opening all juvenile court proceedings to the public, he said, would brand first-time offenders as criminals. ► Council From Page A-I the town had never made any use of the driveway between Mrs. Jenkins’s house and one owned by Elaine Viguerie. “This survey is totally bogus. We would like you to end your pursuits of our driveway,” Mr. Butler said. Mr. Baumgardner said that even if the council agreed to that, it would not change the ownership of the land. “My research shows the street and garage are not the property of anybody,” he said. During public discussion several other people mentioned that parts of their buildings were in public streets. It seems that in earlier days many people built the front walls of their houses on the lot line, and any additions, even steps, went in the public right-of-way. Council members tried to explain that the survey had been undertaken in order to clarify problem areas so they can be dealt with. They said they can decide to keep or abandon the stub streets, but they cannot abandon a stub street if that would leave a separately deeded building lot land-locked.

Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News CountrySide Real Estate Classifieds B WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18,1995 House Tour, Dried Flower Sale Lead Weekend By MAURICE HERNDON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The annual Rappahannock County House Tour and Dried Flower Sale will be held this weekend, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. This is the culmination of eight months of planning, planting, drying and arranging of flowers and the planning for tour homes and tea house. This is the 39th year the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish of Trinity Church, Washington, have presented this fall social event, and it grows in popularity each year. The tour and sale room will originate in the parish hall of Trinity Church. The tour will encompass a circuitous route of about 30 miles over winding country roads, clearly marked with direction signs. The tour houses are in the Castleton/Viewtown area of the county that is noted for the beauty of its mountains, foothills and forests. One of the four houses being shown is the Thornton River Farm of Mrs. I.L. Parrish. The fact that this a successful farm operation is incidental to the house tour. The main house was originally two buildings with no connecting link. One had to go outside to get from one house to the other. The original house was built as a tenant house by the Lillard family with an outside kitchen where the garden is now. The Photo courtesy of Dieter Kneupfer A portrait of Mrs. Parrish hangs on the living room wall. second house was built by Sam Browning as a country retreat when he was Mayor of Culpeper. He had married Laura Lillard, so fell heir to the farm. The Parrishes added a room to unite the two buildings. The residence is now a house graciously filled with antiques, most of which are family related. Included in these articles are some of the works by the world-renowned artist, Andrew Wyeth and other members of his family. There are also some beautiful works by Mrs. Parrish’s daughter, Merrill Strange. One of the paintings by Mr. Wyeth is a portrait of Mrs. Parrish when she was a young lady, and a neighbor of the Wyeth family. The view westward from the house is a magnificent vista of the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The other two tour houses are “Crowfield,” the restored farm home of Carroll and Charles Kevis, and the resurrected 1790 log home of Paige and Charles Coombs. The customary house tour tea will be at “Middleton,” the home of Mary Ann Kuhn, one of the showplace residences of the town of Washington. This federal-style ante-bellum structure has recently undergone extensive redecoration to increase its beauty but still maintain the atmosphere of the gracious Southern living of the 1840s. Proceeds from this tour/flower sale are used to fund the extensive outreach activities of the churchwomen. Smithsonian Concert Series Begins The Smithsonian Chamber Music Society inaugurates its fourth season at the Theatre at Washington at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28 with a concert of music by Johann Sebastian Bach. The Society’s artistic director for the series, ‘cellist and conductor Kenneth Slowik, will be joined by its founder, harpsichordist James Weaver, and its principal violinist, Marilyn McDonald. The concert will feature two of Bach’s six sonatas for violin with Reception For Young Scheduled On Saturday, Oct. 28, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) is hosting a coffee hour reception in honor of Bill Young, whose photography is currently on display at the Rappahannock County Library. The display represent 58 years of traveling with a camera. The informal reception will be held at the Library at 10:30 a.m. Friends, neighbors, and all interested persons are cordially invited to attend. harpsichord obligato, a solo harpsichord transcription of the A minor unaccompanied violin sonata, and the C minor cello suite. These works are all at the very core of the baroque chamber repertoire, and will be performed, as is the Smithsonian’s practice, on period instruments closely resembling those with which Bach would have been familiar. Ms. McDonald plays a late-seventeenthcentury violin by Jacobus Stainer, Mr. Slowik’s cello comes from the eighteenth-century Paris workshop of P.F. Grosset, and Mr. Weaver plays a German-style harpsichord built for him by Thomas and Barbara Wolf of The Plains. Marilyn McDonald, professor of violin at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, has toured world-wide with the Smithson String Quartet, the Castle Trio, the Oberlin Baroque Ensemble and Ensemble Pierrot, a group specializing in contemporary music. She is a frequent soloist with orchestras and is concertmaster of the Peninsula Music Festival. James Weaver is supervisor of the Smithsonian’s Division of Cultural History, and has been involved with historic instruments » and performance programs at the National Museum of American History since 1966. As a performer, he divides his time among harpsichord, fortepiano, and organ, appearing both as a solo artist and in cham ber music ensembles throughout the United States and Europe. Kenneth Slowik is a founding member of the Smithsonian Chamber Orchestra. His discography as cellist, viola da gamba player, and conductor contains over fifty recordings, many of them prizewinners. The Smithsonian Chamber Music Program has inspired warm critical response and a devoted audience following through its performances and recordings on original instruments, many of them drawn from the Smithsonian’s own distinguished collection. This season, the Smithsonian performers will present four chamber concerts at the Theatre at Washington. Other dates in thi§ Smithsonian at Little Washington series are Dec. 2, Jan. 20 and March 23. Each 8 p.m. program will be preceded by a pre-concert talk beginning at 7:30. Since the Bach program includes a cello suite which for scordatura, or intentional mis-tuning of the instrument, director Slowik will discuss the extensive use of this curious technique from the Baroque period to the present. Tickets for the concert are $13.50 with reservation, $15 at the door. Children’s admission is half price. (The pre-concert talk at 7:30 p.m. is included in the price of the ticket.) For reservation, or to obtain a schedule of the Theatre’s season, phone 675-1253. Photo courtesy of Maurice Herndon Tea will be served at the Middleton Inn in Washington both afternoons. 'Sister's' Shows Stressed Love By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock News Contributing Writer With her latest play. My Sister 's Sister, Julie Portman has attracted an unusual audience — social-service people, - They like Ms. Portman’s gentle, but unflinching portrayal of her schizophrenic sister. And they like the oddly supportive relationship between the sisters. “Most people see mental illness as a problem,” says Sallie Morgan, an administrator at the RappahannockRapidan Community Services Board, which has arranged for a private viewing of the play. “What’s very special about Julie’s presentation is that she shows the beauty that can exist in family relationships, the love that goes above and beyond the mental illness.” Jeremy's Run Hike Planned On Saturday, Oct. 21 the Ragged Mountain Resource Center will be conducting its third hike of the season, this being to Jeremy’s Run on the western side of the Blue Ride in the Shenandoah National Park. Hikers may meet at 9 a.m. to the Rappahannock County Park and carpool from there at 9:15 a.m. Total length is about 8.2 miles, and total time is between 4 1/2 and 5 hours, including a lunch stop. As always, come prepared with food for yourself and suitable, layered clothing according to the weather of the day. There is no charge, though donations to the Ragged Mountain Resource Center are welcome. There is a vehicle fee for entering the Skyline Drive. For additional information, call Ragged Mountain at 6751879 or hike leader Sean Kilpatrick at 987-8252. Ms. Portman, who intended My Sister's Sister to be the most autobiographical of the plays in her “Family Album” trifogy, has slightly reworked the play/Since its premiere last year in response to her audience’s interest in her mentally ill sister. Now there are more scenes featuring her sister, Mary Jo in the first act with hints of the problems to come. “It’s surprising to learn of the number of people who have a family member afflicted by schizophrenia or another form of serious mental illness,” says Ms. Portman. Ms. Portman portrays all the characters, starting with herself as toddler and working her way through her father, a priest and her sister’s employers — until we arrive at herself and her sister today. Paul Reisler of Trapezoid wrote and performs the original music score for the play. There have been minor changes in the music since the play’s premier Ms. Portman says it now provides “more of a frame” for the narrative. My Sister’s Sister will be performed Oct. 20 and Oct. 21 at Ki Theatre in Washington. Advance tickets are S10; half-price for children. They can be purchased at Mountainside Market and Cabin Fever Books. Or reserve them by phoning Ki Theatre at 675-1616.

Amissville Fire and Rescue Open House Is Community Hit By CINDY MAHAN R«pf hnodi Dm Staff Writer The Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company open house last Saturday made for an interesting and informative afternoon. Several demonstrations took place which showed the visitors, most of them children, what to do in case of fire. With the help of other fire and rescue personnel, Art Candenquist demonstrated the use of fire extinguishers, putting out fires with a pressurized water canister and then with a traditional fire extinguisher. Inside the firehall, a movie starring Dick Van Dyke explained what to do in case of a fire. People watching the movie and then the firefighter demonstration enjoyed fixe hot dogs and soda courtesy of the Amissville Fire and Rescue. To the delight of children, Smokey the Bear, McGruff the crime dog, and Larry and Vince, crash dummies were present. Another highlight of the day was when about a dozen members of the fire and rescue team demonstrated an extrication of a victim of a car wreck. They used the jaws of life and other strong tools to cut the car apart in order to extricate the victim. The “victim” was then carried on a board over to the Pegasus helicopter, which had just arrived. Everyone was thrilled when tjie helicopters Pegasus, and then MedStar, arrived and landed near the fire hall. Each was opened up to display the interior and tours were given.

Remember Last Winter? By BILL O’TOOLE Rappahannock N«w> Contributing Writer The 1996 Hagers-Town and Country Almanack is just reaching the newsstands. This will be the Almanack’s 199th continuous year of publication. The Almanack, known for its weather predictions that are made 18 months in advance, also discusses the results of twelve (12) years of collecting woolly bears and how they have done predicting winters. The Almanack publishes the up and down signs of the moon, tells one the best days of each month to plant, wee and harvest crops as well as go fishing to catch that “big one.” Also the Almanack gives many, many hints for the housewife, handyman, farmer and gardener as well as astronomical information. ' • Why was the Winter of 1994-95 so milk, especially following on the heels of one of the most severe winters even recorded? The answer in two words is — El Nino. This was the second El Nino in three years. Moreover, an El Nino tried to get stared late in 1993, but died out in its early stages. At any rate, this was the sixth El Nino in our 27 years as the Almanack’s prognosticator. They make this job much more difficulty than usual, since they generally begin in August, our forecast is due two months earlier, and they greatly influence weather all over the globe. In our area, they normally mean a Wafmer and drier winter -r like this past one. Many other classic El Nino influences were also noted, such as the frequent storms that struck the West Coast. We expect the Winter of 1995-96 to be more severe than the past winter, but not as severe as the one before that. But keep in mind that winters following an El Nino are often more severe than normal. For our forecast period, we select the 143-day period from Nov. 12, 1995 to April 2, 1996. In that time frame, we predict 101 cold days (temperature no higher than 40 degrees F or 4.5 degrees C), 60 wet days (days with precipitation) and 24 cyclonic storms (low pressure systems crossing our forecast area). We predict 45 inches or 115 cm of snow. We expect December to be more severe than it has been for several years. We believe that February will try to make up for all of last winter’s deficit of snow and lack of cold temperatures. We mentioned above that there have been six El Nino events in our 27 years here at your Almanack. They used to say there would be one about every nine years. Are they coming more frequently? Are they caused by Global Warming? Or do they contribute to it? Recently a team of French scientists claimed that the El Nino phenomenon (actually, a whole set of phenomena) is related to underwater volcanic activity. Much research is taking place all over the globe in an effort to find out what causes it and how it may be predicted. Perhaps we need a world-wide concerted effort — similar to the International Geophysical Year of 1957-58 — to study El Nino, its causes, and its effects. But the problem is: How can you plan such a program if you can’t predict when the phenomenon will occur? Stay tuned. We haven’t seen the last of El Nino!

That he is dead, he is just away! With a cheery smile And a wave of the hand. He has wandered into Heaven's land. And left us dreaming how very fair His needs must be Since he lingers there. Think of him faring on, as dear In memory as if he was here So think of him still As the same gentle person and say. He is not dead, he is just away.

Ickes Rappahannock News Contributing Writer This season, the Front Royal Oratorio Society is adding a second performance of their Christmas concert. Newly-named musical director George T. Amos will conduct the volunteer chorus in a program of the Christmas portion of Handel’s Messiah, Christmas anthems, and carol arrangements and medleys. On Dec. 3 for the first time in many years, the Oratorio Society will present an evening concert in Boggs Chapel at Randolph-Macon Academy. On Dec. 9, the chorus returns to the Front Royal Presbyterian Church, where it has performed for the past thirty-five seasons. Amos and members of the society board of directors decided upon the music program recently. In addition to the Messiah, the chorus will sing “Hymn to the Virgin” by Benjamin Britten, “O Magnum Mysterium” by Francis Poulenc, Donald Neuen’s “Joy of Mary,” and James Laster’s “Carol Fest.” They will also perform “Silent Night” arranged by Craig Courtney, “Go Tell It on the Mountain” arranged by John Rutter and five David Willcocks carols arrangements. The Messiah is always popular with audiences, and the quality and variety of the anthems and carols chosen for the second part of the program promise an exciting concert for music lovers. “I get something out of a piece every time I do it,” says Amos. “I’ve done The Messiah countless times, and 1 get something new every time — something 1 didn’t see before.” The Front Royal Oratorio Society welcomes adept new singers. Singers from Clarke, Fauquier, Frederick, Page, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, and Warren counties currently make up the chorus; carpooling is encouraged. For more information, write the Front Royal Oratorio Society at P.O. Box 1768, Front Royal, Va. 22630.

Producing Top Quality Turfgrass in the Shade By DR. DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist Many home lawns have heavily shaded areas where it is early to establish or maintain quality turfgrass. The competition for light, nutrients and water creates stresses that weaken turfgrass plants and reduce their growth potential. The fact that shade attracts people during the hotter periods of the year adds to the problem by increasing soil compaction in the area. Trees that develop a shallow, fibrous root system, such as sugar maple, are ektremely competitive with turfgrass for moisture. In addition, research has demonstrated that certain trees, such as the silver maple, excrete toxic substances that have a negative influence on Kentucky bluegrass growth. Shade from the Tree Causes Variety of Problems Trees with heavy shading potential in the form of many large leaves and thick branches, such as some oaks, maples, and sweetgums, create a poor environment for turfgrass. Trees, such as honey locust, that have more of an open canopy, allow more light to reach to the grass. The shade canopy tends to moderate temperature fluctuations by lowering daytime temperature and keeping it warmer at night by preventing release of the heat. This moderating effect on temperature helps humidity remain high both day and night. This relatively constant temperature in the presence of high humidity and subdued light creates conditions conducive to fungal activity. The turfgrass growing in this environment produces succulent, thin cell walls and elongated leaves that are heat, drought and disease susceptible. In addition, the reduced sunlight leads to decreased food production and a plant that is less able to recuperate from foot traffic, mower damage, or plant pests. Since shade is a poor environment for turfgrass, it is essential to develop a good management program in shady places. First, select shade tolerant grasses. The fine-leaf fescues are consid ered the most shade tolerant of the cool-season grasses. Creeping red fescue, sheep fescue, and hard fescue all have shown promise in heavily shaded areas. Some varieties of Kentucky bluegrass and fine-bladed, tall fescue have performed well in moderate shade. Shade tolerant warm-season grasses include centipedegrass, Sr. Augustine grass, and Zoysiagrass. Fall Is Best Time To Plant New Seeds Sow seed in shaded areas in the fall. Fall seeding generally are more successful than spring seedings because they go into the first summer more mature with a better root system and more stored food reserves. Frequent, fall leaf raking is essential to establishment of grasses in shaded areas. Leaves left on the lawn shade the young seedlings and slow their development. Turfgrass growing in shade generally requires less total nitrogen than grass in full sunlight because of the reduced rates of photosynthetic activity. Overapplication of nitrogen on shaded grasses reduces stored food reserves and produces thin cell walls which can cause disease on the turfgrass plant. Late fall fertilization of cool-season grasses is extremely beneficial in shaded environments. This is the only time of the year when the grass plants under the trees can efficiently utilize the applied nitrogen without competition from the tree for moisture, nutrients, and light. Soluble sources of nitrogen applied November through mid-December, after lead drop, are extremely beneficial. Maintaining a pH near 6.2 is important for tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass. Research evidence suggests that the fine fescues do better at a pH of 5.5. Raise the mowing height. Increased mowing height inducts larger root systems and healthier plants. Irrigate infrequently, but heavily. An irrigation program that minimizes the amount of time shaded areas are moist is beneficial in reducing disease. Infrequent watering also tends Flowerfest Open House Set La dama maya herb and flower farm, located in Luray, will hold its annual Flowerfest Open House from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21 and Sunday, Oct. 22.

Reduce use of the area. Thin cell wall,ed grass plants with little food reserve cannot bear much traffic without sustaining damage. Therefore, any effort to minimize traffic in shaded areas is beneficial. May Have To Install Drainage Tiles Provide good drainage. Installation of drain tile is necessary in areas that drain poorly. Poor drainage increases the possibility of disease activity. Remove leaves and debris promptly. Quick removal of leaves and debris all year long is essential as they shade the grass plant and reduce its food making potential. Provide appropriate pest protection. Powdery mildew, Rhizoctonia brown patch, and Helminthosporium leaf spot are common diseases in shaded areas. Periodic fungicide application may be necessary. Control of unsightly weeds and damaging insects improves the appearance of the turf and reduces the competition for light, water and nutrients. If attempts to produce turfgrass in shade meet with failure after using the above management program, consider the use of shade-tolerant groundcovers, such as periwinkle, pachysandra or English ivy.
