Kathleen Maier wanted to teach a nine-month course in native plants and uses of herbs as food and for healing. She and Susan Babcock applied for a special use permit to use Ms. Babcock’s farm for the course. Between 15 and 20 adults would come once a month for four days, from Thursday through Sunday. The students would camp out Thursday through Saturday nights during the class. The course would start in March and run through November. Ms. Babcoek, who represents Hampton District on the Planning Commission, left the table and sat with the audience during consideration of the permit. Neighbors who share a right-of-way with Ms. Babcock off the Fodderstack Road objected to the application. They said Ms. Babcock had never helped them maintain the right-of-way that ultimately leads to her farm, while she and people working on the farm make heavy use of it. The application was to use a driveway off Route 624, rather than the 16-foot right-of-way off the Fodderstack Road. The neighbors weren’t mollified. See Planners, Page A-8 The Questions All five current members of the Board of Supervisors are seeking reelection. Two of them have been challenged on the ballot. All candidates for the Board of Supervisors were asked the following questions in addition to basic biographical data: 1. What do you feel are the main strengths of Rappahannock County and its local government? 2. What do you feel are the main weaknesses of the county and its local government? 3. What challenges do you expect the county to face in the next four years? 4. Should the county close the dumpster sites at Scrabble and Huntly and replace them with a fenced, centrally located, and manned recycling and trash collection site? 5. Will the county’s Comprehensive Plan and ordinance be able to prevent suburban sprawl in Rappahannock County? The answers of the four candidates vying for seats in Wakefield and Jackson Districts are shown here. r 1 Old Rag Bulletins Fall Back The nation returns to standard time in the wee hours of Sunday morning, Oct. 29.

School Board Forum Lively j - By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The forum for School Board candidates Tuesday night ranged over a wide variety of topics, from budgets to the arts, and even touched on Creationism. First candidates answered questions they had already received. They had one minute each to answer. Then pairs of candidates from each district responded to questions submitted by voters in their districts. Finally each was allowed one and a half minutes for a summary statement. On a question for all on what should be added to or taken out of the curriculum, Hampton District candidate Elizabeth Whetzel and Stonewall-Hawthom District candidate Tom Von Fange both suggested replacing “whole language” with phonics. Piedmont District candidate Dennis Wingfield suggested taking a look at classes few students choose to take and classes that duplicate others for possible elimination. Wakefield District candidate Ellen Manson suggested more preparation in technology and a greater emphasis on vocational education on preparing students for careers in service occupations. She said there should be an advanced chemistry class added for college-bound students. Piedmont District candidate Sam Snead said more See Forum, Page A-8 Board of Supervisor Members Seek Reelection Jackson District Wakefield District I_m. Mm_ Ellis D.

The main strength of Rappahannock County is its residents and their spirit of volunteerism. This is displayed in a variety of ways; our Historical Society, the Recreation Committee, the Library Committee, the Athletic Associations, the Fire and Rescue Departments and many other organizations. Our local government, although small, works as a team to provide the essential elements necessary for a rural farming oriented community. 2. On the contrary, although our local government is small when compared to die surrounding counties, I find it to be the smoothest running. In conjunction with our Planning Commission, the School Board and Superintendent of Schools, Constitutional Officers and County See Bingham, Page A-8 Ronald L. Frazier Age - 38 Married Occupation - Electrical Contractor |. Education - Attended Northern Virginia Community College and various trade schools with periodic workshops and seminars 1. Our citizens are our main strength, and for many years the smallness of our government kept it on a personal level with our residents. This is changing, due to the insatiable desire of government bureaucrats and elected officials to meddle with our livelihoods and creativity. 2. Our tax base is our main weakness in the county. With only a small amount of commercial and industrial developed property to sustain the current growth of j county government (i.e., schools and land- j fill), the tax burden is shifted to farms and residential property. Even the land use tax cannot ease the burden sufficiently. Without some sort of commercial growth, like golf courses, mail order businesses, agricultural supporting industries, etc., our real farmers and retired citizens will be driven out of the county along with our See Frazier, Page A-8 L Hubert S. Gilkey III Age - 54 Married Occupation - Contractor Education - High School Graduate 1. Its strong zoning, and its Supervisors’ commitments to the people of Rappahannock. 2. That the General Assembly restricts the counties’ ability to govern on a local basis. By this I mean they set policy that doesn’t apply to our area or needs. 3. 1 expect the tounty to face new challenges in the area of local taxes versus the amount of state and federal aid that is passed down from the system, our ability to pay based on the composite index. 4. 1 believe this is something that will have to happen in order to protect the county and save money. The possibility of something getting in our landfill that will cause us to shut down or have a very large cleanup while these sites are open 24 hours a day and unmanned is very real. 5. I believe that if the Supervisors and Planning Commission continue to update and address problem areas, our Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance will continue to keep Rappahannock County on a safe course. mm ■wniriii nninnmn ~i Roger Welch Age * 49 Married Occupation - Technical Instructor Education - Associates degree in electronic technology, J. Sergent Reynolds Community College, attended Virginia Tech two years. 1. The main strength is that it is accessible to everyone. You can contact your supervisor. 2. They do not do enough to keep taxes down. I have never seen taxes go down in my lifetime. I don’t know if they always use common sense to solve problems. They do not use enough resources or look at enough options. They use too much “good ole boy” politics. 3. Keeping educational standards highs, keeping costs down, and mana. :rg growth will always be major ch?1’ n s for the county. 4. I do not think the majority residents in the Wakefield District want the dumpster in Huntly removed. 5. 1 think it makes a good attempt; but sticking to it is something else. Answers to the questions by candidates running unopposed appear on page A-3. Sperryville Development Attracts Opposition The proposal for a large development on land owned by the Miller family around Sperryville did not receive much support at the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s annual meeting at the Sperryville Fire Hall last Thursday evening. Of particular concern was the issue of low-cost housing — what demand there is for it, whether the need could be better satisfied with Habitat for Humanity projects, and whether the presence of such housing would encourage people to move into Rappahannock County from already existing suburbs in Northern Virginia. There was considerable discussion of presently existing housing in Sperryville that is on the real estate market and is not selling. There was a statement of goals for the “New Sperryville Village” present for peo pie to consider when they entered the meeting. The group advising Cliff Millet III had endorsed these goals: • Offer opportunities for financial success to all involved in it, from the land owners to developers and builders, to business owners, the residents and the county tax base. • Reflect and celebrate the historic heritage of Sperryville, from its colonial era roots to its role as a Civil War Crossroads to its lively Victorian era. The new village should honor the past, not obliterate it. This has important implications for architectural style, density, commercial development, etc. • Be compatible with the natural beauty of the town’s setting. Few towns are in as pretty a place, at the convergence of the north and south forks of the Thornton River at the base of the Blue Ridge and a gateway to the Shenandoah National Park. Improvements should avoid anything that would obscure or detract from that beauty, and should do no harm to the environment; in fact, the goal should be to environmentally enhance the surrounding area. • Be an inclusive place which fosters community, with commons and community facilities that encourage interaction and bring together all ages and economic groups. • Provide affordable housing (low rise, single family, arcbjtei.M^rally compatible with the historic loW town) for residents of the county. • Offer small busine^ opportunities and jobs to Rappahannock residents. • Emphasize business development that would enhance the quality of life and convenience of living in the country, i.e., a good bakery, a small pharmacy, a good bookstore and news-stand, a friendly vil* lage pub of the type found in any Irish or English country village. • Involve Rappahannock residents as much as possible in the planning. Very little, if any, of this was discussed. What was discussed besides the need for the housing was concern about water resources. Kathleen Maier, who was moderating the discussion said, “If we’re running out of water, it is a moot point." Mark Malek said a study showed “it costs the county more for each resident who comes to live here.” Joyce Abell said. “W'hat do we know or are we just making guesses? Is there some way we can find out what the housing needs are?" Some of the people present agreed to become involved in surveying county residents to see what their needs are. — By SHARON KILPATRICK

Sheriff’s Office began to work radar after numerous complaints of speeding from the citizens. The office policy is to work radar in reduced speed zones whenever time permits. This includes the Town of Washington, the villages of Flint Hill, Sperryville, Woodville, Chester Gap and the school zones. There is to be no stationary enforcement of radar on Rt. 211, but during routine patrol if there is a violation of the speeding laws at a rate of 70 miles per hour or more the deputy is authorized to issue a citation if he so desires. The enforcement of speeding by radar is also allowed on secondary roads that are not normally enforced by the State Police, like Rt. 642, Rt. 628, Rt. 611 and Rt. 622 which was just requested in the last couple of weeks for more enforcement. I do not believe that the citizens of these areas and the children of our county deserve any less protection than they are already receiving. Also keep in mind that these violations bring on the detection of other violations of the law like DUI and DWI, habitual offender, unsafe vehicles and drug violations. Unlike the jail, radar enforcement is not used as a tool for generating income for the county, but I do believe that if a citation is written by a deputy that the fines should go the the county 'and not to the state. Operation of the Sheriff’s Office and the jail must be operated as a business, receiving a dollar worth of goods for a dollar spent.

Campaign ’95 I Supervisors Running Unopposed Hampton District Piedmont District StonewallHawthorn Mike Massie Charles K. Estes Robert P. Anderson Age - 40 Married Occupation - Fanner Education - Yes. 1. Volunteer Spirit 2. Dillon’s Rule 3. Decreasing state revenue and increasing mandates 4. Yes! 5. Yes! Age - 61 Married Occupation - Retired Education - 10 years Rappahannock School System, two years R.M.A. and one year V.P.I. 1. The main strength of Rappahannock County is its natural beauty, small villages and thinly populated area. The people of Rappahannock County are very much aware of any issue that may not be in the county’s best interest. 2. The county needs more local employment opportunities, commercial enterprises to broaden the tax base. 3. Mountain top development which could lead to the lowering of our potable water quality. The failure to grout wells drilled in flood areas. 4. Yes. 5. The Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan are good tools to guide local government officials. The ultimate decision about urban sprawl will rest with the people of the county and their wishes. Age - 64 Married Occupation — Farmer, retired airline pilot Education — High School 1. The main strength is most people want to keep Rappahannock a rural agriculture and tourism based county. Its local government, for the most part, wants the same. 2. Keeping the rural flavor. Most young people have to leave to find gainful employment. I think county government is basically strong, but faces a challenge to find ways to finance schools and other needs. 3. Growth. Mandates on local government to provide services without funding from federal and state levels. 4. I hope this can be done. The possibility of toxic substances being put in the dumpsters and the clean up would be an unnecessary j:ost. 5. Stopping urban sprawl would be ideal for Rappahannock County. I think we have to plan for it and control it. I think the plan will go a long way in doing this. Public Forums Planned The Planning Commission members agreed to switch the public forums scheduled for Amissville and Chester Gap in November and December. The forums are intended to get public input for the goals and objectives part of the revised Comprehensive Plan. Current plans are to have a forum on Natural Resources and Community Facilities at the Chester Gap Fire Hall on Wednesday, November 8; a forum on Farming, Tourism, Local Businesses and Jobs at the Amissville Fire Hall on Wednesday, December 13; and the final public forum on Bypasses and Villages on Wednesday, January 10, at the Sperryville Fire Hall. At last Wednesday’s meeting the planners also voted to advertise new regulations for larger subdivisions and commercial operations. They would be' required to show that adequate water exists for the planned development without affecting wells on other neighboring properties. The regulations would affect developers of five or more lots of less than five acres, developers of 10 or more lots regardless' of size, and any commercial or industrial use that will require more than 10,000 gallons per dav. To do that developers must submit plans and documentation for the zoning administrator’s review. Once the plans are approved the developer must drill test wells and measure their flow and recovery rate when the well is pumpeM for 12 hours. Wells must produce at least three gallons per minute. The planners will consider these changes to the subdivision ordinance at their November meeting, and the Board of Supervisors will consider them in December. The planners recommended changes to the zoning ordinance for post offices. They would no longer be allowed by special use permit in agriculture zones, but would be allowed by special use permit in R-2 zones. The supervisors had recommended also that they be approved with a special use permit in rural residential zones. — By SHARON KILPATRICK Community Calendar i Friday October 27 • RCES PTO Halloween Fun Fair, at RCES auditorium - 7-9 p.m. (547-3476) • “Stories from the Dust in the Comer” with Laurie Marshall and the ;; Song Sweepers, at RCHS auditorium - 7:30 p.m. ' % Saturday October 28 • RAAC coffee hour reception for photographer Bill Young, at the - library - 10:30 a.m. (675-2020) • “Stories from the Dust in the Comer” with Laurie Marshall and the ;* Song Sweepers, at RCHS auditorium - 7:30 p.m. i • Concert with the Smithsonian Chamber Players, at The Theatre at l Washington - 8 p.m. with preconcert talk at 7:30 p.m. (675-1253 • Halloween Dance with music by Southern Persuasion, at the Flint Hill Fireball - 9 p.m.-l p.m. (675-3389) t I . * Sunday October 29 • Amissville Volunteer Fire Department Halloween Party (937-4218) : • Art Auction at the Middle Street Gallery - 3 p.m. Z Friday November 3 «. • “Painting an Oil Portrait from Start to Finish” with Ned Bittinger, at * the Library - 8 p.m. ’* Sunday November 5 • The Christofori Ensemble presents “Music from Germany,” at The I Theatre - 3 p.m. (675-1253 . * • Opening reception for the show of June Jordan’s recent works at the * Middle Street Gallery - 3-6 p.m. Z I Friday November 10 • Apple Harvest Hoe-down presented by RCES and RAAC with Slin Harrison “Caller Extraordinaire”, at RCES - 7:30 p.m. t • “Steps to the Edge,” performances by Sharon Wyrrick and Joyce Z Abell, at Ki Theatre - 8 p.m. (675-1616) Z Saturday November 11 * • Spring Mountain School’s fundraising auction, at the Washington * Fire Hall 6 p.m. (675-1458) " SAFE Offers Shelter to Women October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

SAFE is a United Way agency.* , ; Paid Advertisement Dear Citizens of Rappahannock County, As the election draws nearer, I would like to take this opportunity to explain a few of my goals and objectives to you. As Sheriff, I will stress availability, community policing, increased drug awareness, training and accountability. COMMUNITY POLICING; As Sheriff, I will promote teamwork between the community and local, sate and federal agencies, volunteer organizations, and members of the Sheriff’s department. My training in community policing leads me to believe that the following results can be obtained: • a direct line of communication between the citizens and the Sheriff’s office • a better working relationship with other agencies • the availability of resources from other agencies • the use of directed patrol in villages and other specific areas within the county • greater involvement and communication with the youth of the county AVAILABILITY: I believe that the Sheriff should be available twenty-four hours a day. The Sheriff can act as a liaison between his deputies and citizens. He can monitor situations and determine if they are being handled properly and in an expeditious and efficient manner. Having been a supervisor with the Virginia State Police, responsible for a three-county area on a twentyfour hour basis, I realize that it is crucial for the Sheriff to be available twenty-four hours a day. TRAINING: In order to conduct professional investigations, members of the Sheriff’s department require training. This education should be an on-going process. The only training that present members of the Sheriff’s office have received is the minimum mandated by the Department of Criminal Justice Services. I am a certified instructor in many areas; therefore, I am certain that with the help available through federal grants almost all training can be done without added expense to the taxpayers. We must continue to improve if we are to combat the rising crime rate. INCREASED DRUG AWARENESS: In order to reduce the amount of drug usage and related activities, I resolve to emphasize education in promoting a drug-free environment. I will strongly support programs such as D.A.R.E., which currently suffers from lack of support, and education through our civic organizations. Through these efforts we can send a strong message that drugs will not be tolerated in Rappahannock County. ACCOUNTABILITY: As Sheriff, I will supervise and examine investigations conducted by deputies. I will provide guidance when necessary and will insure that policies and regulations are such that individuals in the department are held accountable for their actions. The Sheriff’s Office will be professional and efficient. Accountability and proper jail administration will also enhance jail security, thus eliminating escapes. As Sheriff, I realize that accountability extends to the budget, I will scrutinize the annual budget and cut costs where possible. % If elected Sheriff, I will work diligently to meet these goals. You can he sure that the Sheriff's Office will he accessible. Community policing, drug enforcement and education, training, and accountability will be my priorities. I hope you share my vision, and I ask for your vote on Tuesday, November 7, 1995. Gary T. Settle, Candidate for Sheriff Authorized by Gary T. Settle, Candidate for Sheriff

Mike Massie from Hampton District, Charles K. “Pete” Estes of Piedmont District and Robert Anderson of Stonewall-Hawthom District apparently have few constituents who are dissatisfied. Col. Ellis Bingham of Jackson District and Hubert Gilkey of Wakefield District have attracted challengers. Col. Bingham has been the odd man out in many discussions of the Board of Supervisors. He is seldom in a voting minority, since most votes are unanimous, but in discussions he seems to do his thinking out loud. Recently he has tried to launch the Board of Supervisors in the hopeless cause of try ing to repeal the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the amendment that allows the federal government to collect income taxes. His challenger Ron Frazier, as chairman of the county Republican Party, has never been known to break with the party on any issue. Rappahannock County has been fortunate to escape partisan politics in its local government for many years. Most candidates run as independents and the county has been spared the bickering that frequently characterizes county government in many localities. The two men seem to have very similar views on most issues. It is not much of a choice, but Mr. Frazier has the advantage of youth. Perhaps he will stay awake for the meetings. In Wakefield District Roger Welch is challenging Hubert Gilkey for his seat on the board. Mr. Welch claims that Mr. Gilkey, whom he describes as a friend, represents the county’s “good old boy” politics. It is not clear what he means by that. Mr. Gilkey works with the rest of the members of the board to develop solutions, rather than score points. If that is what “good old boy” politics means, the county needs more of it. Mr. Gilkey deserves another term. School Board For the first time ever county voters will have the opportunity to elect a School Board this November. Like the Board of Supervisors, the School Board members are elected by district. Each of the county’s five districts has attracted two candidates. In Hampton District the incumbent, orchardist Bryant Lee, is opposed by “Libby” Whetzel, a retired teacher and tutor with the literacy volunteer program. Mrs. Whetzel, no doubt, knows much more about teaching than Mr. Lee, but Mr. Lee is the one who knows about the workings of the county school system. Mrs. Whetzel could make a significant contribution to the school system if she is interested in volunteering, but Mr. Lee is the stronger candidate for the School Board. In Stonewall-Hawthom District incumbent representative John Tole is facing a challenge from furniture maker Tom Von Fange. Mr. Von Fange has taught in the high school, but he has chosen to vote against the school system by taking his children out and sending them to private school. In spite of misgivings, Mr. Tole sent his children through the county schools while he and his whole family have spent hours volunteering in the schools to make them better. Mr. Tole’s voice on the board is that of a determined advocate of very high quality education. He deserves to be elected. In Wakefield District incumbent Paul Nichols has spent nearly a lifetime as a member of the Rappahannock County School Board. His four children successfully navigated the local public schools and college after that. Mr. Nichols has been a true champion of the coun. ty’s schools. He is being challenged by Ellen Manson, a nurse therapist whose second marriage has resulted in a house full of teenagers. Three of them live in the house and attend the high school. This has given Ms. Manson a unique window onto high school life. From that vantage point she should be able to provide valuable service to the county schools as a member of the School Board. It would be a shame if the county lost the opportunity to benefit from Dennis Wingfield’s many years of experience at Rappahannock County High School. He knows the effects of the board’s actions on school employees and students alike. Sam Snead has the advantage of having two wards currently attending the high school, but in another year and half they will have graduated. Mr. Wingfield gets the nod in this race. * In Jackson District Ron Makela, who with his wife Janet runs Hackley’s store, has spent considerable time learning all he can about the county schools and the workings of the School Board. His opponent Rick Wood seems to have first decided to run for a seat on the School Board and then decided to try to find out something about the county’s schools starting by sending his son from private school to the high school. Since he is concerned about the lack of athletic facilities and successful teams, he should work with the Athletic Boosters Club. Mr. Makela is the better choice for the School Board. Letters Support Scheer To the Editor: Sue Scheer’s priorities — education and the environment — reflect the will of the people. Testimony to this fact came recently from the Richmond Time-Dispatch, an unlikely source of ammunition for the Democratic candidate who is challenging incumbent Jay Katzen for the right to represent our 31st District in the Virginia House of Delegates. (Anyone who regularly reads the editorial page of the Times-Dispatch recognizes that the paper is no friend to Democrats or their policies, and so you just know that the good conservatives at the T-D hated this encouraging news like the very devil! But print it they did.) According to poll results carried on the front page of the Sept. 24 edition, a majority of Virginians share Scheer’s commitment to quality education and environmental protection. Asked to pick which issue “deserves the most attention and money from state government in the next two years,” an overwhelming 70 percent of-registered voters surveyed statewide echoed Scheer’s priority...Education. Not prisons, which judging from the record, is where Gov. Allen and his supporter, Mr. Katzen, would spend the state’s money. The poll also shows that Virginian’s are in line with Scheer — and at odds with Katzen — on the question of the environment. Asked to identify the environmental issue that is most important for state government to address, 61 percent chose “strict enforcement of current clean air and water rules.” Another 24 percent picked “limits on real estate development.” Combine the two, and it’s the strongest of mandates for protection and conservation. On the other side, a paltry 15 percent selected “cutting regulation to help business,” the often repeated pledge from Virginia’s Republicans who want to weaken environmental laws. Education and the environment. If they matter to you as much as they matter to the majority of Virginians, then it’s time to put your ballot where your heart is — elect Sue Scheer to the House of Delegates DAPHNE I. HUTCHINSON Washington Former Dispatcher Supports Settle To the Editor: In 1984, three months after his election as Sheriff of Rappahannock County, John Henry Woodward established a dispatch center. As one of the first dispatchers hired by him, I served the county for nine years in Qt/r Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Golden Delicious apples are available from many local orchards and stands now. this capacity. I can honestly say that I miss the job 1 left in 1993, and as many of your know, it was not by my choice. I truly enjoyed serving the citizens of Rappahannock. I took a great deal of pride and always did my very best to help anyone who needed assistance. My nine years in the service of the Sheriff's office did give me an opportunity to observe the manner in which the office was being run. I believe that this is the right time to share some of these observations with the Rappahannock voting public: • Delegating authority — non existent • Supervision — sporadic • Inequity — rampant • Leadership — inconsistent • Consideration of others — minimal Response to citizens’ calls — only by his choice There is no need to belabor the above points. Anyone even slightly familiar with the current operation of the Sheriff s Office will agree. I therefore am proud to publicly state that I support the candidacy of Gary Settle for the office of Sheriff of Rappahannock County. He is my choice to be top law enforcement officer in this county. He is a native of the county and shares many of the values and opinions of its citizens. Gary Settle has the makings of a great leader and has the qualities needed for this position in today’s environment. He recognizes the problems and issues that face Rappahannock and is well equipped to correct them to the best of his ability. 1 hope that the voters of Rappahannock County will understand that as the county grows, thereby increasing the potential for undesirable outside influences, so must the Sheriff’s Office grow both in considerable capability and education. CONNIE HUFF-HARRIS Flint Hill Katzen Is Bigotry Victim To the Editor: Please explain! Will Messrs. Robb and Beyer please explain why they have singled out Jay Katzen among all Republicans running for office for defeat! In view of the fact that Beyer owes his election to the Judases and Brutuses in the Republican party who deserted the duly nominated candidate, Mike Farris, for Lt. Governor? Is Jay Katzen going to be subjected to the same religious bigotry? It is considered perfectly acceptable for a candidate to not only accept verbal support but bundles of cash from pro-abortion and pro-homosexual groups (even though they call it “pro-choice” and “gay rights”). It still means disposing of unborn Americans at more than 4,000 per day as unwanted rubbish; and call it “gay rights” or domestic partners” it is still sodomy according to Biblical morals. However, if a person has the backing of any Christian organization he is considered unfit for office by the ultra-liberals and most of the media.. Have Virginians reached the point where a candidate for office who will take his oath on the Bible is considered unsafe for election if they have the fear he may take the moral teachings of the Bible seriously? What appeal does Scheer have except to those who know she will be opposing the moral principles contained in the Bible? Hence this is not an ordinary contest between parties but a high powered well financed attempt by the ultra liberals to establish their neopagan morals in our government to the displacement of the fundamental morals on which our government was founded and prospered, until it became infected with the liberalism that every one can get “Goodies” from Washington D.C. A. WILLIS S. DEARING Huntly Reelect Woodward To the Editor: It seems to us that last week’s editorial entitled “Gary Settle” was unfair; when two good men are running for office, it is not the business of a newspaper to be partisan. A newspaper is a powerful tool for forming opinion and therefore carries a great responsibility. Over the past few weeks we have seen quite a few opinions expressed. We can understand people voting out of loyalty because of friendship and family ties; at least that is honest. But beware of the firebrands who try to sway public opinion because of personal grudges against the sheriffs department. In the cases we know of, the sheriff was correct in taking the action he did, and he did so after every other means of resolving the difficulty failed. In any position of authority enemies will be made and some of them can be very vocal. Deciding who to vote for in this election isn’t easy. But after all has been said, do we vote one good man out of office for another? What happens in the next election when another good man decides to run? It won’t take long for good people to decide that it isn’t worthwhile to try to be elected. And that leads to corruption. Sheriff Woodward has proved that he can do the job. Doesn’t the public have a moral obligation to reelect him? We think so. WILLIAM AND BETTY BUNTIN Washington /A Grandfather Discusses Politics Dear JefT, I’m writing you about politics in Virginia because you recently asked, “What happens if 1 like a party’s idea but not its candidate?” The short answer: usually nothing! Adjust and made the best of it. Most candidates in most elections are decent people. Don’t expect perfection or 100 percent policy agreement — it never happens. Work for the preferences, then adjust. I’ll illustrate by reviewing the race in your grandparents’ 31st House district. 'Both candidates are decent and attractive, one Democrat, one Republican. I doubt you’d agree with everything either advocates. But we know their parties’ policies, principles and recent actions, the banner under which each runs. Examine each party’s position on major issues, as we will below. Crime: Surely one of the major problems facing America today is the explosion of crime over the past 30 years. The nation’s crime rate has tripled; violent crime is up over 500 percent. Explanations about causes differ. There is no argument over the tragic results. Democrats generally hold the liberal view, are “soft on criminals.” Republicans believe generally that “those who do the crime should serve the time.” That requires prison space. Last year the Democratic-controlled legislature blocked Republican efforts to toughen sentencing and parole, and build more prisons. Del. Katzen supports the tougher position. Education: The “dumbing down” of our public education over the past 30 years is a disaster. As the knowledge explosion accelerated and it became clear that the work force of the future requires better educated people, we began a steady decline. Why? Certainly not money! Inflation adjusted dollars spent between 198081 and 1990-91 rose 126 percent. Student-teacher ratio? That improved from 26-1 to 17-1. Quality of students or teachers? No. We get less for more. Proof? Per student costs more than doubled as performance scores dropped. Comparisons? We spend 85 percent more per student than Japan, 50 percent than Germany, yet lag far behind in math, science and language. Faced with that, do you blame Jay Katzen for voting to try something new? Spending and Debts: In 1910, governments at all levels in the U.S. consumed about 10 percent of GNP. In 1995 that will be about 52 percent! No wonder taxes are so high, savings so low, debts soar, and our economy lags as others advance. What do we get for the money? World class education? Low crime? Less poverty and welfare? Balanced budgets and few debts? Our industries’ world leaders? If we had those, perhaps we could surrender half our annual earnings. But we do not! We have the worst of both worlds: governments’ policies and spending raise debts, hinder education, and seriously hurt both workers and those on welfare. Yet Democrats still follow the advice of a famous New Dealer: “Tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect.” Fortunately most Virginians see through the wordy fog of big government, big spending liberals trying to hide the enormous damage their policies yield. Jay Katzen understands and will work in Richmond to shrink government and taxes. Regulations: As American industry and good jobs go overseas, competitors tell us why. A recent article quoted a Dutch official in New York who pushes American investment in Holland: “The Food and Drug Administration is one of our great allies.” Translating, regulatory overload is a major factor in our industrial decline and the move of good jobs overseas. Regulations are everywhere, spreading like weeds in untended fields. They strangle farmers and business, always increasing costs. Most are imposed without considering costs-benefits. Recently former Gov. Pete du Pont wrote that the ban on asbestos costs $66 million to save one year of life. That money spent for heart transplants would save 18,300 years! Big-Government-Knows-Best Democrats still don’t get it. Katzen does! Welfare: In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson and the Democratic Congress began the War on Poverty. We have spent $5.4 trillion — and the war is lost. Republicans believe the underlying rationale is flawed; make it easier to avoid work and have children you can’t afford, and more people will do it. Welfare in Virginia “pays” the equivalent of $11 per hour in a regular job, a disgrace. Make sense to you? It doesn’t to Jay Katzen. As Abraham Lincoln said, “You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.” Jeff, I hope you see my point. People matter in politics; fortunately, most are decent, reasonable. Ideas matter more, because they can and do differ dramatically — and some are wrong. The five key issues above should show why the parties’ and candidates’ positions make the choice for voters in Virginia easy. Be alert to what is not said. In an attractive flyer, Katzen’s opponent reviews her personal history, accomplishments, positions on issues. Yet nowhere does the name of the party under whose banner she runs appear! Wonder why? Perhaps Democratic Senator Bill Bradley, announcing his decision to leave the Senate next year, explained: “Democrats distrust the market, preach government as the answer to our problems and prefer the bureaucrat they know to the consumer they can’t control.” There you have it for 1995, Jeff. In our district, we don’t believe the Democrats’ reign in Richmond should extend four years beyond the current 112! Decide for yourself, but be sure to vote Nov. 7. Love, Grandpa (Editor ’s Note: The preceding opinion piece is by John Marocchi whose grandson, Jeff is a senior at U.Va.)

Support Woodward To the Editor: We have been full time residents of the County since 1959. That is over thirty-five years. In our time here Rappahannock had some outstanding sheriffs. Some of them are still active and helping us. One of the outstanding sheriffs, in our view, has been John Henry Woodward. Since John Henry has proved, by his actions, what we can expect, we would like to see him re-elected. Accordingly, we put the printed sign “Re-elect Woodward” on the fence next to our gate. So far, the sign has been tom off our fence twice. We will try for a bigger one — more difficult to vandalize. D. and W. KUNCEWICZ Flint Hill Scheer Supports Education To the Editor: No candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates has, in recent memory, provided the voters of this county and district with such an attractive choice as Sue Scheer. An independent and experienced person,. Sue Scheer provides us with the chance to vote for a candidate committed to the needs and interests of our district. As former public school teachers we are particularly impressed with Sue Scheer’s commitment to the support and improvement of our public schools. Unlike her opponent, Jay Katzen, who sponsored a bill {HB 2535} to divert scarce public funds to support private charter schools, Sue Scheer opposes such diversion of taxpayers’ money. In addition, Katzen supported Gov. Allen’s failed effort to cut $40 million from public schools, $52 million from colleges and universities, and $14.5 million from Agricultural Extension. Scheer opposed the governor’s cuts. We are incensed that Gov. Allen refused, with Katzen’s support, to accent millions of federal funds for the support of public education programs to increase student achievement, increase adult literacy, and involve parents in creating drug-free schools, all goals which Scheer strongly supports. Rappahannock County has serious difficulties finding sufficient revenue to support our public schools. Yet in vote after vote our present delegate, Jay Katzen, has voted to deprive our county of badly needed state funds to educate our children. It is high time we voted him out of office and replaced him with a delegate who is pledged to give our children the improved education they deserve: Sue Scheer. RICHARD AND JOYCE ABELL Woodville Keep Woodward To the Editor: As the election for Rappahannock County Sheriff approaches we should take the remaining time to reflect on the real issues. This election will not be determined by a count of the most signs provided to supporters, nor will it be determined by slogans and unsupported allegations. It will be determined by our assessment of the candidates based upon our personal knowledge, consideration of the information provided by the candidates and the media (almost exclusively the Rappahannock News), conversations with our neighbors, and finally by our instinct as to which of these outstanding law enforcement professionals is the best choice for ourselves, our families and the community. My family has lived in the county for almost twelve years, and has known John Henry Woodward as Sheriff and neighbor for the same period. As Sheriff he has shown himself to be the kind of law enforcement team leader required in a large county Paid Advertisement The Democrat literature circulating Rappahannock County in no way indicates my endorsement of Sue Scheer or the Rappahannock Lion’s Club endorsement of Sue Scheer. I will support the candidate that l feel will do the most for Rappahannock County. Robert R Anderson Woodville, Virginia Authorized snd paid for by: Robert P. Anderson with a small population and a small tax base. He has balanced his law enforcement priorities with the realities of limited budgets. He understands the critical connections of education, parenting and recreation for the prevention of juvenile crime. He and his department are involved and committed to a number of programs in our local schools. He places a high priority on conducting accurate and timely investigations and presenting our local prosecutor with cases that can lead to convictions. . As a neighbor, John Woodward has also proven himself to be the kind of individual that makes this county the very best place to live and raise a family. In addition to pitching in and helping neighbors in times of/need, he has captained the local volunteer fire department for many years. He teaches lifesaving and firefighting skills to the men and women who volunteer their time and energy and risk their lives to the benefit of the community. Rappahannock County does not have a desperate need for high tech traffic and crimefighting equipment. It does have continuing need for quality law enforcement leadership which is involved in every level of the community, and especially in schools and recreation. John Woodward has provided that leadership for twelve years, and has continually improved the service provided by the Sheriff’s Department. I value that service and encourage you to support John Woodward on Nov. 7. FLOYD STILLEY Castleton Scheer Knows Area To the Editor: In the race for Delegate for the 31 District in the General Assembly the clear choice is Sue Scheer. As a longtime resident of Fauquier County, she is well acquainted with the problems and needs of our area. In the coming years there will be difficult choices to be made by the General Assembly concerning education, transportation funding, law enforcement and the welfare system. All of these choices will have a great impact on Rappahannock, and we do not need a delegate in Richmond modeling himself after a bunch of crackpots in Congress. If we send her to Richmond Sue Scheer will represent the citizens and their interests. Unlike Mr. Katzen, the incumbent, Sue Scheer will never sign a sham “contract” and give her vote away. This year a large number of Mr. Katzen’s former supporters in Fauquier and Rappahannock are working for Scheer. What does that say about Mr. Katzen’s performance in the General Assembly? j On Nov. 7 the right choice for Rappahannock and for the 31st District is clearly Sue Scheer. FRED SCHAEFER Sperryville Sheriff Does Many Jobs To the Editor: I was talking with a good friend the other night at our local store. We were discussing buying a good used computer. I said the best place to get one was at the local “computer swap meets” and club sales, and that he should talk to John Henry Woodward because he goes to all of them looking for good buys, amf he talks to users about the best equipment to buy. He said, “John Henry?” I said, “Yes, he has seven computers over at the jail all linked pn a network, and he put them all together himself.” He said, “1 had no idea, John Henry?” That conversation prompted me to write j this letter. When Sheriff Woodward was first elected, there was no dispatch center. The Sheriffs Office was in the Courthouse, and all dispatching was done out of the State Police Barracks in Culpeper or the Culpeper Sheriffs Office. A deputy was on duty only during daylight hours. With dedication and many, many long hours, Sheriff Woodward has built a department that can be the standard for any Virginia county. He has completely computerized the department’s records and criminal investigation, as well as the jail records. All of the computers are networked so that personnel have instant access to any information on any of the computers, and access to state and national information as well. Sheriff Woodward built this computer system himself by reading, talking to computer experts, and by going to shows and swap meets to see what was the best at the most reasonable price. When Rappahannock County was deciding on what E 911 system to buy, Sheriff Woodward was an integral part of the actual design and development of the current system. Because of his loyalty to the county and his modesty, very few people know of the hard work and extra miles that Sheriff Woodward goes to getting the job done. He is a computer expert, mechanic, communications technician, custodian, and even seamstress. When the Sheriff's Department buys a new car, it is Sheriff Woodward himself who installs the equipment. He puts the decals on the car, lights, radios, radar, special equipment racks, everything, and gets it ready for police work. This saves the County over $1,000 per car. In accordance with §33.1-70.01 of the Code of Virginia, 1950 (as amended), on Monday, November 6, 1995, at 7:00 PM at the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors shall hold a public hearing on the Six-Year Secondary Road Improvement Plan for Rappahannock County. This meeting shall also include a public hearing concerning the Secondary Road improvement budget for the coming fiscal year. Proposals and suggestions for both the Six-Year Plan and Fiscal Year budget are available for inspection from 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday at the County Administration Office in Washington, VA, and at the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Warrenton Residency Office in Warrenton, VA. All interested persons are invited to attend and to make comment. laaitaiiBPacI Used Cars & Trucks “Don’t settle on a deal until you’ve been to Settle’s” • Local Bank Financing Available • Complete Body Shop and Garage Looking For GOOD Used Trucks “Before you sell, call Settle’s” 540-675-3252 Route 522 North in Hint Hill, Virginia FAX 540-675-1325 .

That is why one Christmas morning, when it was five degrees, the Sheriff was under the jail un-freezing an oil line to keep the furnace running. j Thanks to Sheriff Woodward, the deputies have repeater radios in all of the cars. This allows the deputy to get out of the car with a portable radio and to stay in direct communications with the dispatcher and other vehicles without having to return to the car. 1 mentioned seamstress. Sheriff Woodward sews on all of the patches and badges and makes repairs to the deputies uniforms to save money for them and his uniform budget. He has done so many sewing jobs that a few years ago, the deputies gave him a sewing machine for his birthday. The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office has a crime solving rate that is twice the average of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Sheriff Woodward has achieved this standard through direct leadership and training. In order to hold the line on costs, and yet provide his deputies with the tools today’s police need, Sheriff Woodward has quietly and tirelessly worked in the background to develop a Sheriffs Department of which any county in Virginia would be proud. CHRIS SALMON Flint Hill Bus Incidents Concern Parent To The Editor: As a resident of Rappahannock County, and a mother of three sons, I believe my children have the right to a safe ride to school on a public school bus. A man, not a parent or legal guardian, was allowed on my children’s school bus, by a substitute driver, and he proceeded to threaten the children on the bus. That upset me, but what was even more discouraging was what happened after I called the Sheriff’s Office. A deputy responded to take my statement, but Sheriff J.H. Woodward, would not allow them to take my complaint saying it was a school problem and not my concern. I talked to the principals of both the elementary and high schools and they told me to call. I made a call to Dave Smith, Director of Transportation, at the School Board Office. 1 was told that he knew of the situation, but that was all he could say. He also told me that it was my right to make a complaint with the Sheriffs Office. On Wednesday, Oct. 18th, I went to the Sheriffs Office to once again try to lodge my complaint. The dispatcher told me I needed a deputy to take my complaint. After a brief discussion with Major Streapy, the dispatcher said I must wait for Sheriff Woodward. I sat and waited. When Sheriff Woodward arrived he once again said it was their policy that the school make the complaint, not me! He said that in the past there has been a backlog on the court docket with children versus children cases. My case happened to be a grown man cursing and threatening bodily harm on a school bus load of children. After telling all the facts to Sheriff Woodward over and over again, he finally called the Magistrate, and I was allowed to make my complaint. A warrant was issued. After some research I have found that I have the right to make a complaint on anyone at anytime. I’m sorry the courts are backed up, but is that any reason for me to lose my rights as a citizen? This whole situation was both time consuming, taking 2 1/2 to 3 hours, as well as aggravating. Being naive and taking what Sheriff Woodward said as truth has led me to believe that his dedication and loyalty is not to the citizens of this county. I thank you for allowing me to air my grievances. KARLA MILLER Flint Hill Editor s Note: Sheriff Woodward, Commonwealth's Attorney Peter Luke, and David Smith at the School Board were all contacted because there is a policy between the three offices regarding discipline at the public schools. Sheriff Woodward said that all problems that happen on school property or on the school bus are handled by the school system first. After all avenues of the school system ha\e been exhausted, if the situation warrants it, people can file a complaint and see a magistrate to get a warrant. He denied that he said anything about a backlog, saying, "We try to keep the court systems from being overloaded from problems that happen ex’ery day. We try not to get involved in the school’s business unless they ask for it. " Peter Luke said that the Commonwealth tries to let the school have the first opportunity to solve discipline problems, and if parents come in and get warrants it bypasses the school system. "When you have minor problems like cursing and shoving, then we let the schools handle it first. " David Smith, Director of Administrative Services for the schools, said that the school filed a no trespassing warrant against the adult who got on the bus, which means that he is no longer allowed on school property, school buses, or at school bus stops. He also said that the transportation arrangements for one student who used to ride the bus have been changed, and that the bus no longer stops at that student s house. / Problems Aired To the Editor: As another election day draws near, I feel obligated, as have many others, to put in my two cents worth. I think that the public needs to be made aware of problems in Sheriff John Henry Woodward’s department that never get aired. For example: • Why is there a deputy who uses a county car for personal use — purchasing materials for use in his orchard? This is a vehicle paid for, fueled, and insured by county tax dollars. This is the same vehicle used by the same deputy to purchase groceries in Front Royal. • Why is the sheriff not personally involved with the DARE program as he faithfully promised during the last election? He has been less than supportive of the only officer who currently runs the program. • Will the sheriff encourage his employees to sign a letter of support to be published in the newspaper as he has in the past? Is the public aware that this is a condition of employment? When my wife worked as a dispatcher, she was told to sign or start looking for another job. • If the incumbent sheriff is returned to office, will he and his staff harass his opponent at his residence by driving by, after the votes were tallied, with flashing lights and sirens as was done four years ago? These are judgment questions and issues of conduct. If there are reasonable explanations, I look forward to hearing them. In any case, I feel that through the election of Gary Settle, we can and will look forward to a better tomorrow. BILL HARRIS Flint Hill f LET'S BUILD A BETTER TOMORROW: A MESSAGE FROM SUE SCHEER I first came to this area thirty years ago. My husband Julian and 1 looked out in awe at a place that would become not just our home, but our passion. m No place could match the beauty of this land, and no people could match the warmth of its inhabitants. We made a home here, i raised our daughter, and became active in the community. My goal has always been to build a better way of life for all our children and grandchildren. I came from a dying J community in the Northeast. Beauty was paved over and opportunity and nope ior tne next generation rusted nxe so many abandoned factories. That's why I served on the Fauquier County Planning Commission and worked for a sensible balance between development and protecting our open spaces and rural way of life. It's why I became so passionate about our children's futures. I served for enough years in Parent Teacher Organizations to know that too much is at stake not to fight for our children. I also worked with the American Cancer Society, the Fauquier Mental Health Association, the Fauquier Historical Society, the Cedar Run Rescue Squad Auxiliary and several citizens' groups. I am running for Delegate because I believe that a community so rich in spirit should be represented by someone who will support education, economic opportunity and a clean environment. I am proud that my candidacy received the recommendation of the Virginia Education Association. Please join me in my quest to build on what we have for generations to come. I hope I can count on your vote on November 7th. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to give me a call at my offjce at (540)349-9555.

I The WCDS girls team captured I the first place title behind the leader’ ship of all-conference selections bridget and Kristin Hickson. Elizabeth Hickson, Erin Nilan and Theresa Ruth also contributed solid performances to the victory. This marks the second straight year that the WCDS girls have captured both the regular season and championship titles. The WCDS boys’ team placed fifth at the championships. This follows a fourth place regular season finish at the DAC. Peter Hickson led the WCDS squad finishing in 9th place out of the field of 38 runners. Sanjeev Ranade, Charles and Leonard Cowhers, and Hong Joon Chun added personal best times at this course for the season. Coach Fred chandler was very pleased with how the 1995 season sent. “Our runners showed great improvement throughout the season. It was amazing to see how they sustained their motivation and discipline to end this year with a great Showing at the championships,” he said. Earlier in the week the boys’ team placed third in a four-way meet at Randolph Macon Academy. Meanwhile the girls’ volleyball team suffered two losses to Randolph Macon Academy in a non-conference match and to Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy in a conference game. The team has a three win two loss record in conference play, 6 and 5 overall. Buck Jakes Wins International Gold Cup in Repeat of 1994 By BETSY BRANSCOME Times Newspapers Staff Writer THE PLAINS — Gray horses have always held a special railside appeal, but Buck Jakes proved Saturday that he is no ordinary gray. His dazzling dappled color scheme set him apart in the Great Meadow paddock, and his bold, fearless jumping and attacking, come-from-behind policy created a spectacular image for 22,000 racing fans on hand to see him sweep to repeat victory in the $50,000 International Gold Cup — the world’s richest timber race. In the International Gold Cup Races’ signature event, only four horses rose to the challenge to face pre-race favorite Saluter — twice a winner of the Virginia Gold Cup here even though a dull loser to Buck Jakes in this race last year. Ann Stern’s timber specialist has been indomitable this season, though. Yet, Mother Nature perhaps dealt the trump card Friday night with three inches of soaking rain. Though Saluter won last year’s Virginia Gold Cup over "soft” going, the amount of moisture in the soil this autumn seemed more .“heavy” than “soft,” affecting both racing strategy and finishing times in all seven races on the program. As expected, Eben Sutton’s Chaiten made the early running in the 3 1/2 mile ’chase, with Gus’s Boy close up and Buck Jakes and Saluter both reserving energy behind. As the front markers approached the water fence — number 19 of 23 — Anne Moran on Buck Jakes and Jack Fisher on Saluter each moved into challenging position, splitting around the fading Chaiten. A repeat of their - epic Oct. 7 stretch duel was eminent, and a full-fledged roar went up for the crowd as Buck Jakes joined Saluter to match strides for the last fence. Though they met the final flight as a team, Buck Jakes sped away and pulled to a narrow length triumph. Saluter fought valiantly, but seemed to find the going too heavy to make his trademark, devastating late move effective. Gus’s Boy was third, with Chaiten fourth.

Unfortunately this new strategy offered little change in the final results over the past week. The Lady Panthers met a sharp Stonewall Jackson team Tuesday night and lost by a final score of 8732. Stonewall found success penetrating a Panther zone defense which led to easy scoring inside, while the Panthers struggled with their own offense. The Panthers shot 29 percent from the field and 33 percent from the charity stripe. The Generals offense exploded for 26 second-quarter points, and the Panthers never again found themselves in the game. Cari Kerr, Kylene Wolfe, and Dawn Havstad each scored 8 points to lead a balanced scoring attack. The Junior Varsity Panthers also were left with bad memories of Stonewall Jackson High as they lost 57-17. The undersized Panthers were consistently outrebounded on each end of the court. Stonewall opened the game on a 13-0 run to end the contest early. Sonya Wiggington scored 9 points to again lead the Panther scoring. The Lady Panthers returned home Wednesday night to entertain the Rams of Strasburg. Again, dismal shooting from the field and little offensive rebounding lead to the final score of 55-21. The Panthers seemed to open up the game with raised enthusiasm yet a 15-6 Strasburg first quarter lead caused them to relinquish their high hopes. Cari KerV scored 9 points to go with 8 rebounds while Angie Atkins added 5 points of her own. The Junior varsity Panthers played well Wednesday night but folded in the second half when point guard Sonya Wiggington left due to an ankle injury. Without their primary ball handler and scorer, the Rams dominated the final two minutes of the third and all of the fourth quarter. The final score read 41-16. This week’s Panther Player of the Week is Cari Kerr. Kerr’s consistent play for the Panthers averages to 8.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks over the previous 2 games. Cross Country Teams Win Another District Match By BRADY WOLFE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County High School cross country teams won their last regular season meet last Wednesday. The meet was held at Clarke County’s home course, against Clarke and Page county. The boys took First in their race with a score of 25 to Page’s 41. Clarke Finished last with 53. Rapp seniors Mark Jenkins and Eddie Sause paced the meet, both of them running a time of 17:00. Jennings Hobson was third for the Panthers. The girls’ race was easily won by Rappahannock, who scored a 24, since the other two teams could not Field full teams. Rapp’s Holy Gangel, a junior, once again took the meet with a time of 23:04. Freshman Jessie Gheen was right behind her at 23:08,second overall. Lauren Sharp (5th) and Emily Sims (7th) were Rapp’s third and fourth runners. Rounding out the team were Myriam Lathuille at eighth overall and Robyn Kaye in ninth place. Coach Dave van de Graaf and assistant Tammy Snider, anticipating the district meet this Wednesday, see both teams doing well and advancing to the Regional meet. One Soccer Team Plays Most Rappahannock youth soccer teams experienced a second week of no games because of rain. But, like the week before, Lorinda Bsoch’s U12 team got to play when few others in the region did. She scheduled a make-up game with a Culpeper team for Sunday, when the weather turned sunny. And, again, her team ground their opponents into the soggy soil, ending the game with 9 goals for Rappahannock and 0 for Culpeper.

► Forum From Page A-l emphasis should be put on technology and music. Incumbent School Board members and candidates John Tole from Stonewall-Hawthom District, Bryant Lee from Hampton District, and Paul Nichols of Wakefield District talked about revising the home economics Curriculum. Mr. Nichols also said students need information on protecting themselves from sales pitches. Jackson District candidate Ron Makela said students need more information on finances, handling credit cards and debt generally. He said money problems often lead to family breakups, and a young person fresh out of high school can quickly get up to $20,000 in debt. The other candidate from Jackson District, Rich Wood said students need to be better prepared for the world of work. On a question of what to add to or take out of the budget next year, Mr. Wood suggested more funds for sports, seat belts on school buses, adding classrooms at the high school, and airconditioning for the auditorium and cafeteria. Mr. Von Fange said more money should be included for teachers to attend conferences and the budget should include* funds to improve the Earth Science lab. Mrs. Whetzel suggested looking at the supplemental duty schedule, the volunteer coordinator and the learning enviroment coordinator for places to cut. Mr. Wingfield said gallons of gasoline are wasted when buses arrive at school early and run their engines while waiting for the school to be open so students can go in. He also suggested more attention to electrical controls at the high school and the use of telephones for long distance calls. Others predicted a particularly difficult time with next year’s budget because the county will be getting less state aid. Mr. Lee, Mr. Makela, Mr. Tole said it would be difficult to maintain the programs the schools now have. Mr. Nichols seconded the suggestion for airconditioning the auditorium. On a question of how to prepare teachers to handle students with special needs such as the gifted and talented and special education students, the candidates gave varied answers. Mr. Nichols suggested classes for teachers. Mrs. Whetzel suggested having them visit special education classrooms to work as aides with the teachers there. Mr. Lee suggested having special education teachers come to regular classrooms to work with special education students there Mr. Snead suggested in-service training, and Mr. Wood suggested sending the teachers to seminars. Mr. Tole said this is the most difficult part of education and added, “1 believe all children are special.” Several others said this was an unrealistic goal. Mrs. Manson said, “The expectation that all teachers can teach all children is not realistic.” Mr. Makela agreed with that assessment. Mr. Von Fange agreed saying there are teachers specially selected for their ability to work with such children. Mr. Wingfield said all teachers can learn to recognize the needs of special education children, but he agreed not all teachers can teach special education children. All candidates showed support for education in the arts, but some suggested in this area the schools may have to rely on volunteers from the community. A question on buses was directed at Stonewall-Hawthom District candidate Mr. Tole and Mr. Von Fange. Mr. foie said buses had already rec eived a lot of attention from the school system and crowding had been relieved. “I’m not aware that it is a problem of major proportions,” he said. Mr. Von Fange said students who won’t behave should be put off the bus and their parents should have the expense of getting them to school. Hampton District candidates were asked about “Charter Schools.” Mrs. Whetzel said she supports parent choice and vouchers so tax funds could follow children to private schools. Mr. Lee said, “It’s experimental. It hasn't been tried. I don’t thing this county should be first to put our foot in the mud.” Jackson District candidates were asked about prayer in the schools and teaching “creationism.” Mr. Wood said creationism should be taught along with evolution to give the children the choice of what to believe. He said, “1 believe in prayer in school, but it should be optional.” Mr. Makela said schools can teach about religions but can not teach any particular relition. He said children can pray in school, “before a test, before lunch.” He said he would favor a moment of silence over a formal prayer. Wakefield District candidates were asked if the maximum class size should be 20 students. Neither Ms. Manson nor Mr. Nichols supported that suggestion. Mr. Nichols said 30 students was too large a class. Piedmont District candidates were asked about the separation of church and state. Mr. Snead said it is covered in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Mr. Wingfield said the issue had been discussed extensively in his government classes. “If you go against the Supreme Court, you take your lumps," he added.

Although we face the same problems as surrounding counties, we manage to accomplish our governmental tasks without bickering or public controversy. 3. The major challenge that we will face over the next four years will be our endeavors to keep taxes from further escalation. Further increases in property and personal property taxes could have a devastating effect on our rural way of life. Although there are mandates that have to be considered, our first consideration must be the fragile situation of our farmers and medium income residents. 4. The dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble must be closed at the earliest possible date. A centralized site should be established for the convenience of our western population. The site must be secure and manned for residents to deposit their household “bagged” trash and recycling. All other bulky trash should be taken to the landfill. The Huntly and Scrabble sites are environmentally unsafe, abused, and are an unneeded liability for th^ County. 5. The County’s Comprehensive Plan and Ordinances will prevent sub urban sprawl in Rappahannock County, if we can prevent further tax pressures on property and personal property. Taxing farmers off of their land, along with homeowners on ten and fifty acres, could trigger or encourage development pressure from outside the county. Further development of our towns and villages could have a devastating effect on the water quality in these areas without proper sewage treatment facilities. In my view, it is safer to have homes widely dispersed, rather than clustered from an environmental standpoint. The Planning Commission will have to take this factor into consideration during their update of our Comprehensive Plan. ► Frazier From Page A-l high school graduates. 3. The challenges for the county in the next four years will be more home building, (small and large lots) resulting in higher enrollment in school with perhaps less federal funding; and without returning a Republican majority to Richmond, less funding from the Commonwealth. We could possibly be faced with the need for a middle school during the next four years. I will work close ly with the School Board to keep tax money in the classroom and not gobbled up in administration costs. 4. I would support closing them or, as stated at the forum on Oct. 9, 1 would also support fencing the existing sites. A collapsible chain link fence may be useful. I will not support buying another location or paying for additional staff to man it daily, as this could cost $30,000 or more in annual salaries. If the centrally located site could be paid for by user fees or staffed parttime by volunteers, I could support that. The citizens of Amissville should not have the liability and reproach of three landfills within a 4-mile radius and then be taxed additionally to make it less of a trip for the western districts to dump their trash. 5. These two documents along with simple economics have worked fairly well to this end but have stifled small business and could do the same for farmers if we do not look at the diversity that we need to survive as a community. The Planning Commission must concentrate on real issues instead of “red herring” issues, such as “ridge top development.” If ridge top stoppers do not like Rappahannock being inhabited on its ridges and hills, maybe the Tidewater area or the Mid-West flat lands are more suitable. (This is possibly too “mean spirited,” but it’s a prime example of county government bureaucrats and elected officials meddling with our livelihoods and creativity.) ► Planners From Page A-l Betty Settle led the opponents. This was for a temporary permit. She wondered if the course would be offered more than once. She noted that the approval of the health department was for primitive camping for 15 people, while Ms. Maier was talking about up to 20. “Are the bathroom facilities adequate?” she asked. “My concern is a safety issue and the inconvenience of people on the rightof-way. There is a problem now with maintenance of it, and Ms. Babcock has made it clear she doesn’t feel responsible.” Mrs. Settle said her house is the last one before the Babcock property. She noted that Ms. Babcock has owned the property since 1981. “I don’t think she’s done any maintenance from Route 628 to my driveway, only past my house,” she said. She asked the Planning Commission members what action they would take if people involved in the class violate the terms of the permit and use the right-of-way.

He said all the houses along the rightof-way are close to the road, and traffic causes dust. “All through the summer it was like a mule train with traffic coming out of there." Several people spoke in favor of Ms. Maier and her course. Brenda Van Ness, Joyce and Richard Abell and Lilo Foster said they had benefited from Ms. Maier’s instruction on the use of native plants and having such an herbal center would be good for Rappahannock. Ms. Maier said the “whole intention of the course is to teach people to go back to their communities and be more self sufficient.” She said there is a wealth of native plants, and some imported plants that people can use for food or for healing. “I want to help people connect to why we need to preserve the environment," she said. Mr. Jenkins said he went up Route 624 earlier in the week and there was no gravel on the road they were intending to use. “Is she intending to build a road for this?” he asked. “What if it floods and the road is washed out?” Ms. Maier said if that happened she and the people taking the class would walk in. Chairman Mike Massie had to try several times before he could get Mr. Jenkins to stop interrupting the proceedings once the public hearing was closed. Mrs. Babcock said, “624 is the access. I don’t intend to burden the Jenkins family. 1 had no idea Mr. Jenkins would be upset, and 1 feel very badly about that.” Barbara Jenkins said, “We don’t want it diverted onto our road because we are the ones who keep that road up.” Several members of the Planning Commission asked if the overnight camping was necessary. Ms. Maier said she wanted to make the most use of the four days people would be here for the class, and that would require using the evening hours. She said teaching low impact camping was part of the course. Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser said the application was for a school and overnight stays are not normally part of schools. He said he felt the application should have been for tent camping. Eventually the permit was approved five to one with. Dr. Krebser voting “no.” A condition of the permit is that for the course no use would be made of the right-of-way off the Fodderstack Road. The planners also approved a special use permit for David and Joan Harrington to operate a four-room bed and breakfast in their house off the Sperryville Pike across from Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church. Fugitive Clears Court By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News StafT Writer John Joseph Messick, 32, of Philippi, West Virginia, showed up in Circuit Court last Thursday after having been a fugitive for five years. Mr. Messick was sought for a violation of probation, nonpayment of court costs and restitution in the amount of $655.65. He said that recently he was stopped for a traffic violation in West Virginia, and told the policeman that he was a fugitive from justice because he knew that a check of his background would show that. He was transported to Rappahannock County and held until his court date last week. Obvious distressed over the situation, Mr. Messick said that he has grown up a lot over the last 10 years and now lives in West Virginia with a wife and two children. “I am ready to pay my court costs, be a man and face up to this. I have lived in pure agony, running for five years,” he told the court. He said that full payment of restitution and court costs totalling $655.65, which was for a bad check charge for which he was convicted five years ago, was on the way to the Clerk’s Office via Federal Express, and that it should be arriving the same day that he was in court. Because that money was not yet in hand, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke argued that he should not yet be released. Judge W. Shore Robertson agreed that Mr. Messick had violated the terms of his probation, including leaving the state of Virginia, but felt that Mr. Messick had indeed turned his life around and was sincere about the money being on its way from Federal Express. In tears, Mr. Messick left the courtroom free of his obligations to Rappahannock County. He still faces a violation of probation charge in Orange County. When the Clerk’s Office was contacted on Monday, the money had been received from Mr. Messick. Judge Robertson signed orders to declare two county residents habitual offenders: Penny S. Montessi, 33, of Amissville, and Curtis Ray Nichols, 28, of Viewtown. National Park Hikes Planned The Friends of Shenandoah National Park will sponsor two cultural resources hikes this fall. On Saturday, Nov. 11, author and local resident, Darwin Lambert will lead a hike to the mountain homestead where he lived as a young man. Hikers will learn about the life of a mountain family a half-century ago. On Saturday, Dec. 2, Jack Reeder will lead a hike that explores the Shenandoah National Park. Mr. Reeder will explore the ruins of old homesites and discuss the history of the people who lived there prior to the park. Mr. Reeder, also a writer, has chronicled the lives of the mountain people before the park Was established. The hikes are open to anyone interested. Hikers should be prepared to do some light bushwhacking on old roads and trails. For more information, contact Charlie Graf at {410} 757-6053.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1995 m m Mount Vernon Cidery Is Nearly Ready for Production By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Soon after the first of the year Fred’s Cider, from Mount Vernon Cidery in Sperryviile, will be on the market. The new product, which is a hard cider, is the brainchild of Cliff Miller, IV. He and his crew of two are leasing the packing house from Skyline Cold Storage owned by the Sharp family, near the Sperryviile Antique Market on Route 1002 in Sperryviile. It is a spacious warehouse space with a room for pressing the apples, another for the five 1,000-gallon fermentation tanks for the hard cider, another for the bottling process, and one with plenty of storage. Mount Vernon Cidery also makes a sweet cider, bottled in gallons, which has already been on the market for about a month. It is sold at local roadside stands with the Mount Vernon Cidery label. Mr. Miller recently graduated with a degree in mathematics from Dartmouth. He spends the weekdays at the Miller home place in Sperryville, and weekends usually in Richmond. “I saw the trend. I think hard cider is riding on the heels of the micro brewery trend,” he said. He believes that Mount Vernon Cidery will be the first business in Virginia to produce hard cider on a large scale. He hopes to produce about 2,000 cases a month; a case is comprised of 24 12-oz. bottles. The hard cider is a refreshing carbonated apple cider with an alcohol content of five percent. Already some wineries are producing a hard cider, such as Gallo, familiar to most people, and a Woodchuck Draft Cider produced by Joseph Cemiglia Winery in Vermont, which Mr. Miller says is the biggest producer right now. Molson, a beer company, is importing a couple of French ciders, said Mr. Miller. In Europe, hard cider has been At the end of the day Alan Brame washes off equipment. Library Has Portrait Program By LENORE TROTT Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Portrait painter Ned Bittinger will make a presentation at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 3 at the Rappahannock Public Library. Selecting as his subject a member of the audience, Mr. Bittinger will make a portrait “come alive.” Ned Bittinger is an award-winning portrait artist who also enjoyed painting figurative scenes, landscapes and illustrations. Influenced by such great artists as John Singer Sargent, Ilya Repin, Valentin Serov and N.C. Wyeth, he uses an art technique called “Alla Prima,” meaning, “at the First” in Italian. Because this method requires skillful manipulations of wet paint, his brushwork appears fresher and more spontaneous, giving his paintings energy and immediacy. A native Washingtonian, Ned attending Landon School in Bethesda, Md. and Denison University in Ohio. He returned to Washington, D.C. to earn his Master of Fine Arts degree at George Washington University. His list of portrait subjects includes: secretaries James A. Baker and Lawrence Eagleburger for the State Department, actress Shirley MacLaine, Nancy M. Kissinger and many leaders of the corporate, legal, medical and diplomatic professions. Ned Bittinger and his wife, Mary live in Sperryville. This promises to be an exciting evening so mark your calendars now. There is no admission charge. Refreshments will be served. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan The cast prepares for this weekend’s performances. 'Dust' Offered at RCHS Stories from the Dust in the Corner will be presented by RAAC and Ki Theatre at 7:30 p.m. in the audtiorium of Rappahannock County High School on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 27 and 28. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for children and are available at the door. The multi-media dance/drama, by Laurie Marshall in collaboration with the cast of six children and five adults, celebrates the richness and choices at life’s end. The cast includes Margaret Dunn, who has replaced Jeanne Drevas, Mike Dunnigan, Carol Lucking, Laurie Marshall, Nina Moore, Ashley Dunn, Vanessa Dunn, Ruth Purnell, Jeff Simeon, Jeremy Slack and Britton Wood. Among the numerous stories told are those of Mythili Nakkiran of India, Alice Marshall of Pennsylvania and Amira Skaljic of Bosnia, along with those from people in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Stories from the Pust in the Comer is also a book, containing expanded stories from the play, some of the text of the play, additional stories and Ms. Marshall’s portraits. The book is availabe at New Leaf Boostore in Warrenton, Cabin Fever in Washington and Mountainside Market in Sperryville. popular for a long time, and can be found in most English pubs, and in many restaurants in other European countries. According to Market Watch magazine, “Ciders are competing for taps in a growing number of bars, providing an alternative for patrons seeking a change from beer.” Mr. Miller said that hard cider was very popular in the U.S. before prohibition, and that “The Mount Vernon Cidery is proud to contribute to the resurrection of a traditional American farm staple.” “Fred’s cider” is named after Fred, one of Mr. Miller’s two affable and energetic Brittany spaniels. Fred’s cute face is on the label which touts the cider as being “pressed from a carefully selected blend of fresh Virginia apples. The varieties are chosen to create a balance of natural sweetness, astringency and aroma. The sweet cider is fermented in small batches with great care to preserve the delicate bouquet of the fruit.” Fred is also the model for T-shirts and hats to promote the business. Most of the apples for the cider are purchased from the Sharps’ orchard, but some are from the Mount Vernon orchards which are off U.S. 211 in Sperry ville. On a tour of the Mount Vernon orchards, Mr. Miller said that he hoped that the hard cider industry would boost the worth of apples. He is saddened by the demise of apple orchards in the area. The cidery operates like a winery, and employs John Hallberg as the master cider maker. He previously worked at a brewery in Richmond and another one in northern Virginia. Alan Brame is the production manager, and he keeps everything running smoothly, said Mr. Miller, who is the president. After the apples are pressed using a rack and cloth press, the juice is pumped into the fermentation tanks. A wine yeast is added, and the apple juice spends about 1 1/2 months in the fermentation tank. The juice is then filtered and pumped into cold storage tanks where the fermentation is stopped. The whole process takes from 1 1/2 to 2 months. A brand new bottling line has been purchased, and a separate machine will label the bottles. Carbonation is added before the cider is bottled. Once the cider is bottled and packed into containers, it will be sold to a distributor, who will sell to stores. The stores will set the retail price, but Mr. Miller estimates that a six-pack of the hard cider will retail for about $7. He hopes that locally, Mountainside Market in Sperryville will carry it. In stores, it will most likely sell by the six-pack or by the case. Mr. Miller also hopes to have a seasonal cider for the Christmas 1996 season. Alan Brame, Cliff Miller IV and John Hallberg with Cliff’s dogs Turk and Fred are in front of bins of apples. Jordan's Art Next at Gallery Middle Street Gallery proudly announces a showing of “Recent Works in Oil And Pastel” by member artist June Jordan.

Can Scrabble School Be Saved? E. Franklin Warner has embarked on a project to save the Scrabble School with the blessings of the Rappahannock Historical Society. Enclosed with the current issue of the Rappahannock Historic Times is a one-page insert called “Scrabble Times.” Edited by James Gannon, the insert is an attempt to convince the community that a part of the county’s history, particularly its black history, will be lost if the property is sold to the highest bidder once the county no longer needs it for a dumpster location. The former two-room school house educated hundreds of black students in first through seventh grades who attended classes there from 1922 to 1967 when it was closed. The land for the school was donated by Wood Grant, and a grant from Julius Rosenwald was used to pay for construction. Mr. Rosenwald was chairman and president of Sears, Roebuck & Co., and the Rosenwald Fund was used to build many schools in the south to educate black children including others of the “graded” schools in Rappahannock County. The “Scrabble Times” includes a survey form designed to learn how much community support there is for various options for the future use of the property, including using it for such community purposes as a senior citizens’ center, a community club room, a day care center, a museum of county history and/or a branch library. The Board of Supervisors’ current plans call for selling this countyowned property to help defray the cost of developing a central location for collecting trash and recyclables. Mr. Warner and his Save Our School campaign is trying to generate community support for the county keeping the site for one or more of these uses or leasing or selling the property to a community group which that would restore the building for one of these uses. Mr. Warner attended the Scrabble School as did many currently involved in the Save Our School campaign. The mailing of the “Scrabble Times” is an effort to reach out to the larger community for support.

Two RCHS Students Attend UVA Writers' Workshop By LAURA SCHADLER Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Out of 500 applicants, 100 students were chosen for the young Writer’s Workshop at the University of Virginia this past summer. Two Rappahannock County High school students, Marie Andreoni and Jennifer Bowen, were among those who attended with writers from all over the country in grades 9 through 12. Both Marie and Jennifer were recommended by their 10th grade English teacher because of their interest and ability in writing. Both students were excited about the program as an opportunity to improve their skills, get a feel for college life, and “escape Rappahannock for a couple of weeks.” Jennifer went to the beginners’ session for two weeks at the end of June, and Marie attended the more advanced session for three weeks in mid July. Both programs were structured the same way. There were morning classes in the student’s chosen genres, which included poetry, fiction and nonfiction, drama and song writing. Both Jennifer and Marie chose poetry . In the afternoon there were “crazy” electives. Marie studied Swahili Cooking and self defense, while Jennifer took candlemaking. Both students stayed in the U.Va. dorms. For Jennifer, having a roommate was hard. “I’m an only child,” she said. “I had to learn how to ignore my roommate.” On the weekend students were free to sign out and explore Charlottesville. They visited the regular places like the Rotunda; Marie found a “low key” thrift store on The Comer. The instructors were all published writers, and some were professors at U.Va. There were also recent college graduates who expanded on the morning classes in afternoon workshops. “There were thought-provoking teachers,” Jennifer said; “They asked us questions that made us think. 1 learned that things aren’t done by accident, that each word has a meaning for the place it’s in, that it’s symbolic of something.” The two students agreed that the program, which was a constant stream of writing and tough criticism, was very challenging. “It taught me how to edit my poetry better, and I also got an idea of how poetry is defined,” Marie said. Both students felt sure of their favorite piece of writing. Marie’s was a poem called “Leaving Song.” "Wow, I finally wrote something I liked," she smiled. Jennifer’s favorite poem “Awakened By A-Storm” was an experiment with a new style and new techniques that involved short concise rhythms and word placement. At the epd of the program there was a Writer’s Cafe where students read their work to each other. It took place in the college’s cafeteria, complete with tables seating four, covered in table clothes, candles and flowers. “The classic stuff, a restaurant setting,” Jennifer said, and went on to describe the skylight. “You could see the stars and everything.” The Writer’s Cafe was decorated with student art work and a mural of a city skyline. Marie, was enthusiastic about the culminating activity. “Even though I’m usually shy, 1 loved it!” They both read their favorite poems to their fellow writers and enjoyed the response. Both Marie and Jennifer enjoyed the program and recommend it to anyone who loves to write, and is willing to work hard. Leaving Song By MARIE ANDREONI My want smells like nectarine, drips like it, seeps through clothing and skin, saturates me. I will grab your long fingers, devour your burnt brown eyes with my own. We will taste our want. Let’s take pieces of each other, wrap them in paper, place them in the freezer.

Member FDIG « a v ^ m.m. Kathleen Brown "This Is A Great Country" To Be Presented at F.T. Baptist Church At 11 a.m. on Oct. 29, the Sperryville community will be treated to a high-tech multimedia patriotic extravaganza at the F.T. Baptist Church on Slate Mills Road. This Is A Great Country, produced by KRK Productions, incorporates big screen video to back up the stirring renditions of songs of God and country sung by Kathleen Brown. Kathleen and Lt. Col. R.K. Brown, USAF (Ret.), who reside in Kay Largo, Florida, have formed KRK Productions to present musical events for churches, meetings and conventions using computer sequencing and big-screen video. Their message is to remind people This Is A Great Country and encouraged them to keep it that way by taking an active part in the political process. The Browns come by their strong sense of patriotism from years of military. R.K. served in the Air Force and the Air Force National Guard, where he embraced the world for computers while flying F-4’s for 20 years. As a military wife, Kathleen’s musical career has included singing in churches, clubs, theatre and with the Air Force Band of the Pacific when R.K. was stationed in the Philippines. She has a way of touching people’s hearts with her delivery of a song. “We want people to leave the show inspired to take action, because as Edmund Burke said, ‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.’” Visitors are welcome to attend this free service.

Cottage Gardens Bloom By DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist The English cottage garden is loved for its homey, romantic, oldfashioned feeling. It features mixed flowers, deciduous trees, flowering shrubs, intimate spaces, inviting paths' and quite often a picket fence. It is a place to recover from the dailystresses of life. Autumn and spring are the best times to take on the project of construction a cottage garden. If you start -this autumn, the parts that aren’t’s completed before the cold weather sets in can be completed in spring. Some plantings, such as setting or seeding of tender annuals, will have to be done in the spring. Master Plan Is Essential To Achieve The Style Start with a master plan. Consult professional landscapers or landscape gardening books to help you plan the garden’s layout. Plan for a path to the door and around the house to the backyard. The paths can be informal patterns of old brick or native stone. Though less authentic, coarse wood chips or crushed stone cancer the walkways and are less work to install and maintain. To prepare the garden, remove the sod where beds are planned, then go over the ground several times with a tiller. If the weather has been dry, watering the area two days in advance may help, but do not work soil when it is wet. Next, add three to four inches of compost to the beds. The original cottage gardeners used the materials from cleaning out mule and cow j bams. This is prime “soil improve ment,” but also full of weed seeds, so it is best to compost manures for six months or more before using. Organic material improves the soil’s ability to drain well in the spring and to hold moisture over longer periods, thus reducing summer water use. If you area is prone to periods of drought in summer, look into automatic drip irrigation systems and install before planting. Use Fencing Appropriate To House Sty le Install fencing on hedging appropriate to your house style. A picket fence is a good choice for keeping with the cottage garden theme. An arch of juniper or arborvitae over an entry gate would be appropriate, but it would have to be pruned frequently. An arch of wood or metal pipe covered with climbing or rambling roses is also authentic. The next step is garden building is to plant small trees or large shrubs. Keep in mind the dimensions of the species when full grown, and space the plants so they will not overcrowd each other or shade the herbaceous flowers. Lay out the area reserved for the vegetable garden, if you plan to have one. Gradually work on flower beds and borders. This is your opportunity to make the garden truly original; changes of heights, texture, and bloom time are what made a cottage garden appealing. Plant you cottage gardens with a balance of annuals and perennials for seasonal colors. Most annuals must be planted every year, though a few are self-seeding. Perennials return each year, but have to be divided and reset According To the Almanack For November according to the Hagerstown Town and Country Almanack expect Temperatures to be average while precipitation will be below average. Weather watch: Look for rain, cool (1,2) with fair, much colder days (3-6). It should be fair, warmer (7-9) with showers (10,11) and fair, cold (12-14). Then beware of windy, rainy days with possible snow (15,16), followed by fair.cool, (17-18). The period (19-21) could bring showers giving way to fair, windy cool days (2225). More showers can be expected (26,27) with the month ending cloudy, cool (28-30). Tornado watch: None foreseen for the area this month. Full Moon: Known according to Indian lore as the Beaver Moon or Frost Moon by others, it occurs on the 7th at 2:20a.m. E.S.T. Special note: Let your voice be heard on Election Day, Tuesday, the 7th and honor all veterans on Veterans’ Day, Saturday the Hth. Be on the lookout for the Leonides Showers of meteors visible yearly about the 15th, appearing to radiate from the constellation Leo. Gather the family around the home Thanksgiving Day, Thursday the 23rd. Prepare for winter’s blasts. Protect evergreens and other foundation plantings from heavy snowfall and see to a covered and adequate supply of wood for the fireplace. Have automobile and other vehicles ready for winter with sufficient antifreeze and proper lubrication. Carry emergency supplies and equipment such as energy food and blankets in case you get stuck on the road during the winter storm. J.

Good, perennial vines for the cottage garden are honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens). grape, celmatis (Celmatis paniculata and other species), and rambling and climbing roses. Culinary Use Often Reason Plants Were In Original Gardens Many of the plants listed above had a culinary or practical use. Fruits were made into jams and jellies, eaten fresh, or used in making bread and beer. Nut trees, such as pecan and hickory, were generally planted outside the cottage garden, away from the house, because of their size and tendency to shade out the garden. The real show of color is from roses, annuals and perennials. Look for flowers labeled “old-fashioned,” including hollyhock, delphinium, primrose, Sweet William (biennial), Johnny jump-up, lily-of-the-valley, bearded iris, and cosmos. After planting, for wee control and increased drought tolerance, add a top dressing of mulch. Leaf mold (partially decomposed leaves) and chipped bark are most attractive.

Out With The Old, In With The New In ’96 By JOHN T. TOLER Timex Newspaper* Staff Writer Auto manufacturers are always on the lookout for changing trends. In this highly competitive business, correctly predicting future buying habits can make you a big winner; taking a wrong turn can be disastrous. U.S. automakers are making some interesting moves in 1996 to position themselves for the new millennium (not the car). General Motors General Motors is using 1996 as a transitional year, phasing out a number of car model lines that have been around for a long time and bringing in a couple of new ones. The last of the venerable A-body cars — Olds Ciera and Buick Century, which first came on the market in 1982 — will not be built after ’96. These cars, which replaced GM’s first front-wheel drive X-body cars (1980-85 Citation, Omega, Phoenix, etc.), were much better than their predecessors and proved to be good family and business travel cars. Also departing in ’96 are three of GM’s full-size, rear-wheel drive cars: the Buick Roadmastcr, Cadillac Fleetwood and Chevrolet Caprice. Last year, Chevrolet introduced a high performance Impala model, receiving the old nameplate; it will become a collector’s item. The last, short run of Roadmastcrs will actually have a “Collector’s Edition” hood ornament. Chevy’s Corsica and Berctta, the nearly identical sports/economy models that were introduced in ’87, will not be produced after ’96. A larger replacement model is in the works for ’97. it will bear the familiar Malibu nameplate. Two GM mini-vans will also be replaced after the ’96 production year. The plastic-bodied Chevy Lumina and the Olds Silhouette mini-vans will get a larger engine this, their final year. Lumina’s replacement will be called the Venture; a name for the ’97 Oldsmobile mini-van, which will be mechanically similar, has not been announced. After many years as the flagship of the Oldsmobile line, the Olds 98 will disappear after ’96. Olds 88 LSS gets more power The tradition is being passed on to the handsomely re-styled ’96 Oldsmobile 88/LSS, which will get the supercharged, 240-h.p. 3.8 L V-6, available in the Olds 98 since ‘92. In the Buick line, the restyled Skylark is getting a new, 150-h.p. 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine, which replaces the Quad 4 used in ’95. A fuel-injected Series II 3.8 L V-6 delivering 205-h.p. (over last year’s 170-h.p. design) will be available as an option in the ’96 Regal, and as standard equipment in the ’96 LeSabre and ’96 Park Avenue Ultra. Taking the Series II powerplant one step further, the ’96 Buick Riviera, which was introduced as a new model last year, will get a supercharged Series II that will produce 240 h.p. The ’96 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 and Pontiac Firebird with standard LT1 5.7 L (350 cid) engine gets a 10-h.p. increase, to 285 horsepower. The Camaro SS gets 15 more horsepower on top of that (for a total of 300h.p.) from a mean-looking ram-air intake system in the center of the hood. The Chevy Cavalier Z-24, restyled in ’95, gets the new 150-h.p. dual overhead cam 2.4 L four. It will be available in coupe and convertible models. The fourth generation of the Chevrolet Corvette will wind up its final year in ’96, with a special Grand Sport edition. About 1000 of these cars will be built, all powered by the 5.7 L LT4 V-8, and painted Admiral blue and white. *96 Sunfire has new engine Changes in the ’96 Pontiac line-up include the new 2.4 L 4-cylinder dual overhead cam engine as standard equipment in the ’96 Sunfire GT and ’96 Grand Am models. The ’96 Bonneville gets new headlights and taillights. 1996 will be the last year for the Pontiac Grand Prix as we know it. A replacement will be announced this summer. Some all-new models, and increased power across the board, are the big stories in the GM truck lines. The durable Vortec 4.3 L V-6 used in the Chevy Blazer and similar GMC Jimmy got new cylinder heads and structural improvements that give better acceleration. V-6 equipped Chevy S-IO and GMC Sonoma pickups get the same engine improvements. Extended-cab models also get a small access panel (Don’t call it, a door.) to reach the storage compartment behind the driver’s door. Olds Bravada returns in *96 The full-size ’96 Chevrolet C/K 1500/GMC Sierra pickups, Tahoe/Yukon sport utility models, Suburban, and new Express/Savana vans get a new fuel injection system (designated SCP1) and redesigned intake runners and combustion chambers that increase horsepower and fuel efficiency in all engines. The 4.3 L goes from 160-h.p. to 200 h.p.; the 5.0 L from 175 to 220; the 5.7 L from 200 to 250; and the 7.4 L from 230 to 290. Interestingly, GM’s full-sized, extended cab pickups will have an optional side “access panel,” too. But it’s on the passenger side. The Express and Savana vans are all-new for ’96; this marks the first major styling change since 1970. Both vans come in 135-inch and 155-inch wheelbase models, and have redesigned rear doors that open up 165 degrees to allow you to back up to a loading dock. Geo Thicker, in 5-door model Another notable design change involves the ’96 Geo Tracker, which will be offered in a five-door version for the first time. This sport utility vehicle will come with dual front air bags, rear high-mounted stoplight and daytime running lights. Ford Motor Company From a new model standpoint, the biggest news from FoMoCo is the allnew ’96 Taurus and its near-twin, the '96 Mercury Sable. The sedans are available now; the station wagons will be released to dealers soon. These totally redesigned cars are longer than the ’95s, but look smaller due to their rounded front and rear design. The body is tighter, and the windshield area has been increased. The base GL models get a 145-h.p. 3.0 L V-6, derived from last year’s model. LX models come with a new 200 h.p., 3.0 L dual overhead cam engine based on the 2.5 L engine used in the smaller Contour and Mystique, introduced last year. The interiors of the new Taurus and Sable are comfortable and welldesigned; the oval-shaped radio and temperature control areas are a new departure in styling. But isn’t that what Taurus/Sable were all about when they were first introduced ten years ago? Look for a V-8 equipped Taurus SHO in the sprirtg. The new SHO will have a 32-valve, 4-cam 3.4 L engine developing 225-h.p. Increased power is the big news in the ’96 Mustang lineup as well. FoMoCo is offering two new V-8s for its GT and Cobra models. The ’96 Mustang GT comes standard with a 4.6 L single overhead cam V-8 that produces 215 h.p.; the ’96 Cobra gets a 32-valve 4.6 with dual overhead cams producing 305-h.p. Even the base ’96 Mustang coupe and convertible get more power; the standard 3.8 L V-6 is up 5-h.p., to 150. If you’re careful, you might see one of the 2000 ’96 Cobras that will be painted with a new, light-refracting coating. These cars appear black (the base coat), green, amber, gold or purple, depending on how the light hits them. The popular Ford Explorer sport utility gets a new V-8 this year! *96 Explorer gets V-8 This engine, based on Ford’s 4.9 L (302 cid) V-8, will deliver 210-h.p. The V-8 will be available in the upper-level ’96 Explorer XLT models. Why did FoMoCo wait until ’96 to offer a V-8 in the Explorer, one of its most popular models since it was introduced in 1991? Part of the reason is that the new front suspension design introduced in ’95 allowed for the needed space for a V-8. Another reason is that the public really wanted it. The optional engine adds only $1400 to the price of a ’96 Explorer. Mercury will introduce its own sport utility vehicle, the ’96 Mountaineer, later in the year. It will be based on the Explorer, but only come with the V-8. FoMoCo’s full-size rear wheel drive twins, the Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis, will be available in some new colors and have some trim refinements. It’s likely that Ford will sell a lot of base/performance Crown Vies to police departments. The ’96 Thundcrbird and ’96 Cougar XR7, two traditional rear-whefel drive “personal luxury cars,” get minor facelifts (and tail-lifts). The standard 3.8 L V-6 gets a 5h.p. boost, to 145.

V-8, based bn the Mark VlH’s standard 280 h.p. engine. The Mercury Tracer, basically identical to the Ford Escort, will be leaving the lineup after ‘96. Both models will get a new built -in child’s car seat and a “sport appearance” package with aluminum wheels this year. ' Chrysler Corporation In some of their recent newspaper advertisements, Chrysler Corp. has announced that it will be introducing a new model every few months. Several new models debuted in ’95, including the Plymouth/Dodge Neon, Cirrus/Stratus, and Sebring/Avenger. Still new, these models have had various refinements and optional equipment additions for 1996. Mid-size Chrysler Sebring Some of the older models, including the Chrysler New Yorker, around since 1939, will be departing the lineup. An export model called the New Yorker will still be sold, but in the U.S., the ’96 LHS (with optional bench seat) will take its place. Perhaps the biggest news this fall are the totally redesigned ’96 Dodge Caravan/Plymouth Voyager/Chrysler Town & Country mini-vans. The new mini-vans are more aerodynamic, with rounded front and rear treatment and larger glass areas. They have a new front strut suspension system, lower door and rear hatch sills, concealed sliding door tracks and the rear seats have rollers to make removal and installation easier. The ’96 Caravan/Voyager comes with a choice of four engines: a 2.4 L dual overhead cam 4-cylinder, produc- * ing 150 h.p. powers the base regular wheelbase models; a 3.0 L single overhead cam V-6 is standard for the base Grand Caravan. Higher level models have a choice of a 158-h.p. 3.3 L or a 166-h.p. 3.8 L V-6 engine. New to the line-up is the ’96 Caravan Sport model, which comes with a big engine, fat tires and handling suspension. The sliding door on the driver’s side is sure to be a popular option for all three nameplates. All models come with AfiS as standard equipment, and ailwneel drive is available on Grand Caravans. The top-of-the-line ’96 Chrysler Town & Country mini-van has all of this, plus dual climate controls and eight-way power leather seats. More is standard on ’96 Neons Introduced in late ’94, the ’96 Dodge/Plymouth Neon has several formerly optional features as standard equipment this year, including power steering, a front roll bar and 14-inch tires. The more powerful dual overhead cam engine, formerly available only on the two-door model, can now be ordered for the four door. All ’96 Neons get a larger gas tank this year. Later this winter, Chrysler Corp. will introduce the ’96 Plymouth Breeze, a lower-cost version of the Cirrus/Stratus four-door sedan. At that price level, it could be America’s lowest-priced midsize car. Jeep And Eagle As part of the Chrysler Corporation’s updating, 1996 will be the last year for the Jeep Cherokee, the first five-door sport utility vehicle, introduced ‘way back in 1984. It will be replaced by a new model in 1997. The ’96 Grand Cherokee, so popular in ’95 that the factory runs three full shifts, gets a facelift (the grille is larger to improve air flow to the engine) and an all-new interior has been designed with dual air bags. The body has been stiffened to reduce vibrations, and the 4.0 L inline 6-cylinder has been reworked to reduce NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). The basic Command-Trac part-time 4-wheel drive system has been dropped, and the Quadra-Trac full-time system has a new viscous coupling center differential, to vary the torque between the front and rear wheels. There will not be a 1996 model Wrangler. Jeep will sell the 1995 model through ’96, and toward the end of the year, a new ’97 Wrangler will be introduced. Also leaving the scene is the Eagle Summit wagon, built by Mitsubishi and imported by Chrysler. The ’96 Summit sedan will continue to be sold. The ’96 Eagle Talon, another Mitsubishi-inspired sporty car built in the U.S., will get side impact door beams this year. The Talon is still one of only a few sports cars (especially in its price range) that can be ordered with all-wheel drive. The upscale ’96 Eagle Vision TSi can be ordered with “Autostick,” a 4speed automatic transaxle that can be shifted like a manual transmission.

Battlefield Ford Is Commited To Customers For the second time in two years, Battlefield Ford of Manassas won the coveted Chairman’s Award, which recognizes a dealership’s commitment to excellence in customer satisfaction. Not bad for a company that ranked near the bottom (22nd out of 26 dealerships in the region) in as late as 1993. When Steve Fay took over as general manager and vice president of Battlefield Ford in 1992, he knew that there was work to do and changes to be made if the 30-year-old business was to turn around. Mr. Fay attributes this success to a number of factors. He met with employees to emphasize Battlefield’s commitment to customer satisfaction and spelled out just what was expected of each staff member. Some personnel changes were made, and the service department staff was augmented with a shop foreman and four more service technicians. Most of all, the improvements came from listening to their valued customers. All recent automobile buyers are asked to complete a survey, and each response is reviewed in daily staff meet- " ings. Any constructive replies are used to improve service, one customer at a time. The sales staff at Battlefield Ford goes the extra mile to keep their customers happy. Fay explains, “When our people tell customers we’re going to do whatever we can do to satisfy them, the customers know it will be done.” Fay’s personal commitment to this goal has been the guiding force for his staff. Sales are up. Customers are happy and best of all, they keep coming back. Find out what Battlefield Ford can do for you. Call (703) 368-3184, or stop by 8980 Mathis Ave., Manassas.

Oldest Firestone Dealer Keeps Up With Times Did you know that Virginia’s oldest Firestone dealer is right here in Fauquier County? Tom Frost Firestone, Inc., of Warrenton was franchised by Firestone in 1921. It has been at its present location on W. Shirley Ave. since 1965; before that time, the business was located in the old Tom Frost Ford deal ership. The business is owned and operated by Bill Mayo, assisted by long-time employees David Jenkins, Dan McLachlan, Dennis Bridgett and Wayne Pullen. In addition to the Firestone and Bridgestone tires for cars and light trucks normally kept in stock, Tom David Jenkins, store manager of Tom Frost Firestone, checks for parts availability. Dan McLachlan and Walter Crouch inspect the suspension of a customer’s vehicle. i Tline-Ups f • Hugs | * Set Ignition Expire 12/31«6 | Timing Adjust Carb $v>i ■ I 4-Cylinderj r. i I Semi-Metallic Pads. | Moat Vehicles.

Discount Lube Offers 14-Point Vehicle Check Times change, and customers’ needs change, too. When Discount Lube opened in Warrenton three years ago, there was a demand for an oil shop that was quick, convenient and reasonable in price. Just what does an oil shop do? According to the owners, Stuart Steensma and Mike Arrington, service at Discount Lube includes 14 important routine and preventive maintenance operations. Discount Lube will drairi dirty oil from crankcase, install new filter and motor oil (up to five quart of Quaker State oil), lubricate chassis and check for leaks. Staffers will also check and fill windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, radiator coolant, differential fluid, battery fluid level, and transmission/transaxle fluid. Finally, they will check tire pressure in all tires, check air filter and clean it if necessary. The work is done by Discount Lube technicians Ed Gibson, Vincent Cox, and Shane Walker. Future plans include relocation to a larger building. This move would allow Discount Lube to offer more services, and handle more customers from surrounding communities. Time for an oil change? See Discount Lube, 286 Broadview Ave., Warrenton; telephone (540) 349-3227. Certain components of the fuel system are subject to accumulation of carbon and varnish deposits which can affect engine performance. They should be cleaned and/or lubricated as needed.

Rick Hunt Dealership Continues To Grow Every few years, Warrenton auto dealer Rick Hunt does something BIG. What will it be next year? You’ll see! Mr. Hunt has been doing big things since he took over the struggling Ford franchise in Warrenton in 1973. After bringing the business back to profitability, he quickly outgrew the old Tom Frost building on Broadview Ave. and had to start looking elsewhere. So, in 1985, Mr. Hunt opened an allnew, state-of-the-art dealership on Lee Highway, north of Warrenton. He designed most of the facility himself, combining the features he liked best in other dealerships he studied. In the years since opening his new facility, Mr. Hunt has been continuously seeking out new marketing opportunities. Soon after coming to Warrenton, he got the Lincoln-Mercury franchise back, which had been lost by one of the previous dealers. Larry Labarge shows off the new 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan.

(Rt. 234 & 1-66) Manassas Salespersons Kelly Browning and Marsha Finley with the ’96 Ford Taurus and ’96 Mercury Sable. But things have been picking up speed since he moved to his current facility. For a while, Mr. Hunt experimented with the Suzuki line as an added offering for his customers. When the Chrysler Corp. franchise for this area became available, he quickly acquired the Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth car lines, and dropped Suzuki. Still expanding, Mr. Hunt purchased a Ford dealership in Montross, which he reorganized and turned around financially. Two years ago, he spun off his Chrysler and Plymouth lines — and added Jeep and Eagle — when he opened a new dealership in Warrenton with his partner, Joe Jacoby. All of this success is driven by a desire to exceed the strict customer service standards set by Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp., and by his own high expectations. As a full-service dealership — with new and used sales, vehicle rental and leasing, a complete mechanical repair shop, body shop and parts department — providing exemplary customer service becomes harder, not easier. But being big enough to serve most customer needs has its rewards. Rick Hunt Ford-Lincoln-MercuryDodge continues to grow, and is pleased to announce that a new Dodge shbwroom will be built on the north side of his facility later this year. Plans call for a Grand opening of the showroom in the summer of 1996. Find out why so many of your friends and neighbors deal at Rick Hunt Ford-Lincoln-Mercury-Dodge.
