Sperryville Sewer Increase Proposed September Hearing Scheduled By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahaanock News Staff Writer With only three members present the Water and Sewer Authority adopted a resolution to raise rates for Sperryville sewer system customers by $10 per month, a 46.5 percent increase. That would bring the rate to $31.50 per month for a residence. It would mean a $30 increase in the average customer’s bill since bills are sent out four times a year, and a larger increase for businesses which are billed on a formula that computes their cost in “equivalent dwelling units” (EDUs). According to the resolution the increase is needed to pay off the debt for installing a surge basin in the plant, for increasing operating expenses and for future maintenance and capital projects. With four members present in June the WSA had agreed to advertise the $ 10 increase, but they found they had to follow certain procedures, and County Attorney Peter Luke gave them a form to follow. A public hearing on the rate increase is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 23, in the Courthouse. WSA members were going to seek Mr. Luke’s opinion on whether the increase could be made retroactive to July 1. They also voted unanimously to withdraw $15,000 from savings to pay the county back for salary and benefits paid to WSA employees for the period Jan. 1 through June 30, 1996. Member Carson Johnson, who is the WSA treasurer and vice chairman, said he had received a bill from the county for $22,893, but had only $851 in the checking account at the end of June. Another $43,000 is in a savings account. Most of this money is left over from the original grants that paid to have the system installed, and over the years, members of the WSA have tried to keep this money for capital projects. Mr. Johnson noted that the bills covering April through June had just gone out at the end of June and money was coming in, but even if it all came in, it would not be enough to pay off the county. In the past the WSA has been paying part of the county’s bill shortly after it is received and See Sewer, Page A-3 J What's New at Rappahannock County High School?: Block Schedule, SOLs Push Changes By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer There are major changes in store at the high school for the coming year. The biggest change will be block scheduling. Instead of having 48-. minute classes, students will take 90minute classes. The high school faculty choose to go with an alternate day block. Students will take a total of seven classes, four on one day and three the next. The days will alternate so that a four-class day follows a three-class day throughout the year. If a day is missed due to weather the schedule will resume where it would have been on the day missed. On days with only three classes all r students will be in “resource block” for the last period of the day. According to Principal Jack Raines the first 15 minutes of that period will be for silent reading. Then students who have been absent must visit the teachers for each class missed to arrange to make up work. Other students can also visit teachers for extra help. For the final five minutes they return to the room they started from so all students are accounted for. Mr. Raines said he observed a resource block at William Monroe High School in Greene County and liked what he saw. “It’s a healthy way to make sure kids keep up with the work,” he said. Another advantage is that in spring when students traveling to away sports competition have to leave school early, they will not bo missing clas^ time,on resource block days. Also ^lr assemblies and club meetings wilftakeplace during this block so class time will not be interrupted. One thing Mr. Raines hopes will happen is that absenteeism will be reduced. “Missing one day is like missing two days under the old schedule,” he said. “It can really hurt you.” To encourage students to attend regularly they will not be exempt from final exams, regardless of their grades, if they have missed more than three days of school. With the Resource Block students who attend Piedmont in the morning will only be able to take three additional classes. Those who attend Piedmont in the afternoon can take' four additional classes/ Fortunately .most of the- morning-students are . seniors requirements for graduation complet-. ed. To help prepare them for the ■ longer class times, the teachers all had an opportunity to observe a teacher in their field working under a block schedule. They followed the teacher in another school around for a day. Mr. Raines reports that many of his teachers are “feeling nefvous” about the change. “They are apprehensive,” he said. He feels strongly, that he does not want to see teachers using the longer class time to have the stu dents do their homework in class. “That defeats the whole purpose,” he said. “With the real teachers the time flies by.” Teachers need to learn to “do something constructive to make, it work.” „ ~ He said teachers working under a block schedule ajr repbrt they are working harder than ever, but when they are asked if they would like to return to the old schedule of six or seven periods a day, they all say “no.” Other changes at the high school are the result of changes in the state’s “Standards of Learning.” For example, hew standards for math require that all students take Algebra. For next year there will be no more Math 8. Eighth graders have all been scheduled for Pre-algebra of Algebra. Those who complete Pre-algebra can then either go into Algebra I or take a two year class called Integrated Math that - will cover the content of Algebra I*. ■■ Once that requirement is met they can either go into Algebra II or Geometry or take a class in Finance for their third year of high school math. Those , who take Algebra I in eighth grade can go on through Calculus by their senior year. Those who take Algebra I in ninth grade can go through Advanced Math. A new Computer Math elective will be added in 1997-98.. Major changes are coming in the social studies curriculum. Three courses in social studies are now required American History in 11th grade and American Government in 12th and one other year of either World History or World Geography. That has not changed, but all eighth See School, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins Katzen To Visit Del.

Member Reinhardt Lynch asked if it would be possible to have the streets paved with a pebbled surface like the sidewalks. Treasurer Louise van Dort and Mayor Stewart Willis, who had met with VDOT resident engineer Robert Moore, said it would require a one-year delay since the bid accepted was based bn ordinary asphalt, would last only about three years and would cause numerous problems. Ms. van Dort said VDOT would not use such a surface See Town, Page A-6 What Happened To My Vacation? By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock News Intern The perfect summer vacation, in fact it would be hard to ask for anything better than a trip to a sunny island like the Bahamas. When my father told me that July 9-12 that’s where we would be, 1 thought it sounded too good to be true. I knew something was bound to go wrong. Was he joking? Was the plane from Value Jet? 1 sat down on the sofa Monday morning with a glass of orange juice in one hand and the remote in the other." 1 flipped to the Today Show and within 10 minutes I saw something worse than any of my expectations. A hurricane, Bertha to be exact, headed straight towards the Grand Bahamas. 1 laughed; this couldn’t be happening to me.

At the graduation ceremony, Deputy Jenkins was awarded the prestigious Charles E. Murray Jr. Top Performance Achievement Award. Voted to receive the award by academy staff, program instructors and his peers at the academy, Deputy Jenkins is the first member of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office to be so honored. “We are real proud of him,” said Sheriff Gary Settle, adding that Deputy Jenkins was the top in his class at the academy in many categories. Leadership ability, motivation, positive attitude, professionalism and overall sincerity to the profession are all characteristics which played a factor in Deputy Jenkins receiving the award. It is given in memory of Sgt. Charles E. Murray Jr. of Fauquier County who died in July, 1990. Sgt. Murray taught classes at the Criminal Justice Academy and was known as a model law enforcement officer. Deputy Jenkins attended the academy for 12 weeks, commuting daily to Fredericksburg. He was hired earlier this year as a jailer, and will soon be working as a deputy on the road.

" ‘ Day Camp Enjoyed By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahanaock Newt lateni It happens nearly every year — 75 sleepy-eyed kids and 17 teens wake up, get ready, and board one of two buses which then take them to the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center where they attend a week long day camp session. Although last year’s camp was cut short due to severe flooding, 92 Rappahannock 4-Hers were at day camp June 24-28. “It was a lot of fun and I thought it was a good experience for the kids,” commented one counsellor, Kyla Andreoni. Not only is it a good learning experience but 4-H camp is also positive encouragement for the children to become more outgoing and understanding of other people. During the session, campers take four classes a day which are taught by teens and adults. Some of the choices this year were the Traditional Crafts and Archery. There was also a class called Fun and Games where campers played games such as jacks and pick-upsticks. In another class, Creeks and Critters, campers went in the creek to find aquatic animals. | The Rappahannock Animal Welfare League also brought in anii mals for Pet Care. Other choices included Puppetry, Gardening, Fishing, Cooking and Indian Folklore. Campers also went swimming. Kyla and another counsellor, Ashley McNeely agreed that this was the best although Ashley thought “It was all fun.” Before going home there was an assembly each afternoon. Monday campers went on a nature walk and on Tuesday Mike Dunnigan told them stories. On Wednesday Greg Peterson brought in two snakes and several turtles and on Thursday two customs dogs were brought in. Camper Bobby Jo Brown enjoyed Mr. Dunnigan and Mr. Peterson best. Her older sister, counsellor Amanda Brown, felt that the assemblies were the overall highlight of camp. There was also plenty of social time for everyone to get to know one another. “When I was a camper I used to think that it was the biggest honor to be spoken to by one of the counsellors. Now I’m a counsellor and am honored when one the campers speaks to me,” one counsellor commented. Friday morning was spent playing games. This.,yyas followed by a coyered dish luncheon for the parents and an assembly during which teachers and teens were thanked and each camper recieved a certificate. ► Sewer From Page A-l part once money comes in from bills, but that practice was questioned in a letter from County Administrator John McCarthy when the WSA followed it in January. Mr. McCarthy’s letter noted that the county Board of Supervisors had ne.ver agreed to “front” the money for WSA employees for longer than six months. The letter said if the matter was not resolved the county might “reconsider its willingness to act as payroll agent.” Member Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he believed county Treasurer Frances Foster was primarily responsible for pushing the issue because she knows the WSA has the money in savings, and thus the WSA was earning interest on funds that should be earning interest for the county. Mr. Johnson said it would take a vote from the WSA to move money from savings to checking. “I as treasurer do not have authority to transfer that money to pay for operation and maintenance because the board in a previous resolution voted that money not be used for operations and maintenance. It’s for capital improvements.” Noting that the issue comes up every time the WSA receives a bill from Mr. McCarthy for payroll, Mr. Estes said, “I don’t think we’ve ever been caught up. We’ll never get caught up until we change the rate.” Mr. Estes asked if moving $10,000 would be enough, but Mr. Johnson said it would take at least $15,000 if the bill was to be paid by the end of this .week.

They also agreed to accept a proposal from Frank Reynolds, attorney for John Shipman, that Mr. Shipman pay $2,000 of the approximately $4,600 he owes in bills for sewer service going back more than three years and repay the rest at the rate of $ 150 per month in addition to keeping his future bills current. Mr. Estes reported that Mr. Luke had said the WSA would continue to be able to force the sale of Mr. Shipman’s property if he falls behind in paying the WSA back. They also agreed to reduce Mr. Shipman’s future bills to two EDUs from three EDUs because he is no longer operating a restaurant on the property. Mr. Johnson agreed to sign a form in the absence of chairman Eugene Leggett that will enable the WSA to get bond money from the state for the surge tank. Member Daniel Kejnser said engineering consultant John Orr would be seeking bids on a 30,000 gallon tank. Mr. Johnson said he was concerned because the original recommendation was for a 55,000 gallon tank. A 100,000 gallon tank was considered, and now the WSA was going for a 30,000 gallon tank. “Every time we meet with these people, they tell us something different,” he said. “I wonder are we just spending money or are we meeting'a need?” “It’s hard to argue with an engt neer,” Mr. Estes said. “But it would only take one day to fill this up. After that day, you’ll be in violation.” * Member Daniel Keyser, who has been acting as the WSA’s manage]for the project, said he also doubted that a 30,000 gallon tank would take care of the problem in a heavy rain that lasts for more than one day. its not iust our Datients who like me way we operate.

Member Peter Skqwronski suggested if the town is going to encourage people to vjsit the town, it should provide something for them, at least public toilets so people will perhaps stop using the Rush River as a depository for dirty diapers. i Member Ray Gooch suggested a welcome center, and Mayor Stewart Willis said that is a problem he wants to tackle next year. I Clearly Rappahannock County does need a visitors’ center, and the Town of Washington is a logical location for such a facility. It should have public toilets certainly, but more importantly it should serve as a clearing house for all sorts of information about what the county has to offer visitors, overnight accommodations, fine dining, and opportunities for all sorts of artistic and recreational activities. To some extent Hunt Harris has tried to provide that service at the Ragged Mountain Resource Center, but Mr. Harris is understandably unwilling to sit in the center all day serving in that capacityfcwith no pay. His efforts to staff the center with volunteers have n<H been very successful. ‘ So in addition to the having such a center, the county and town also need to pay to have it staffed. But taxpayers should not have to p»Qk up the entire burden. The businesses which benefit from local toilrism should also be willing to support such a center. 1 It would be most important to have the center open on weekends. For the time being, it could probably be closed Tuesday through Thursday. ! Tn Warrenton the Chamber of Commerce established a visitors’ center and it has been very popular with tourists and businesses alijte. Rappahannock County has no Chamber of Commerce, nor does it need one. However, in the absense of such an organization, other organizations, including the local business councils and town apd county governments should see the need and pick up the slack. : It is absurd that a community as dependent on tourism as Rappahannock County leaves visitors to their own devices for ferretjng out the variety of opportunities available here. Seven Things To Do -1. Buy lemonade from any kid who is selling. •2. Any time you can vote on anything, vote. :3. Choose having time over having money. 4. Always take the scenic route. 5. Give money to street musicians. . 6. Be someone’s valentine all the time. -7. When the circus comes to town, be there. A visitor center would cure VDE) ^(Visitor Directional Dysfunction) V* Letters A Special Thank You To the Editor: To every person in the Rappahannock County community who worked to make the Fourth of July celebration a wonderful day and a big success, a special thank you for your efforts and your ability to have fun while working hard. The RAAC Planning Committee deserves special recognition since they have worked since the snows of early February ‘til after the Fourth to make this one day a great celebration for the entire county. We would also like to thank each of you for your gracious acceptance of the rerouting of traffic in the evening before and after the fireworks. We know that it creates a problem for a few in order to speed the departure of our many guests. Another special thanks to the Sheriffs Department for their tireless hours of traffic control, crowd direction, and general helpful attitude. This year, many of you volunteered to help next year. This is a welcome treat and the RAAC Planning Committee can use all the assistance we can get. Please let one of us know if you would like to help out in any small way next year. Again, thank you to all of this year’s workers for all your efforts and volunteered hours. CHARLIE TOMPKINS and ELLEN MANSON Co-Chairs of the RAAC Fourth of July Planning Committee Thanks Offered To the Editor: We would like to offer our thanks to everyone who supported the Cub Scout fundraiser on July 4 held at Washington throughout the day. Everything was greatly appreciated. JOE PEREGORY Cub Master Pack 123 Taxes Are Too High To the Editor: I would like to take issue with the editorials by this newspaper on June 26, titled “Budgets” and on July 3, titled “Editorial Platform.” On June 26 this paper states that state and federal tax cuts help no one if local taxes have to increase to cover revenue shortfalls. Also, local taxes have gone up due to state and federal unfunded mandates. This paper also expressed that county representatives are and should be non partisan. Regarding the so called tax cuts. Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Students at the Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church Vacation Bible School used part of the collection to provide teddy bears for the Sheriffs Office to be used to reassure frightened children. Here Capt. Jeff Brown takes custody of the bears. Citizens are paying more now than ever before in state and federal taxes. If the county can not meet their financial goals with the money it has already squeezed out of citizens, then cut the budget! Citizens who feel that their interests are not being funded sufficiently, including schools, should make up shortfalls through voluntary contributions. It should not be put on the backs of overburdened citizens through mandatory taxation. As for unfunded mandates, we must support conservative politicians who resist state and federal mandates and respect local control. Otherwise, if unfunded mandates are pushed upon localities, then fine, do not follow that particular mandate period. On July 3, this paper claims that it recognizes and supports ongoing volunteerism and will remain “politically independent.” If volunteerism is the hallmark of this community, why have my local taxes almost doubled in eight years? What a strange type of volunteerism! Volunteer your pay, or lose your home. Also, as stated in both editorials, this paper believes that our local officials should remain non partisan and that this paper is politically independent. With the large local tax increases advocated by most county officials and this newspaper, both agree that county citizens need to pay more taxes, and that we need to “redistribute wealth with our village.” This philosophy is espoused by the Democratic party; therefore, please don’t claim non partiality when it obviously does not exist! Claiming it does not make it so. It only shows the dishonesty of this newspaper. Instead of this paper constantly endorsing Democratic Party candidates and their beliefs, why not be non partisan and just report the news. I think if the citizens of this county are given both sides of unfiltered information, they can independently decide who and what is best. In closing, myself and many others would like to thank the few local officials, specifically Jackson District Supervisor Ron Frazier, for their lonely fight against any tax increases. You are the true patriots! JOE REINBOLDT Viewtown Supporters Thanked To the Editor: Our thanks go out to all who helped with the food service during the Amissville annual firemen’s carnival.

PAYNE _ President Old Dominion Politics By JOHN GOOLRICK The prevailing wisdom among political pundits is that Attorney General James Gilmore will be the Republican nominee for governor in 1997. And the prevailing wisdom also seems to be that Gilmore will lose to Democratic nominee Lt. Gov. Don Beyer. The prevailing wisdom, of course, is not infallible as demonstrated in 1993 when everyone thought Mary Sue Terry was a shoo-in for governor. But in retrospect it is clear that Republican George Allen’s election as chief executive that year came about through a combination of his own charisma and an electorate fed-up with Democratic administrations. Gilmore, who has a solid record as attorney general, would be ranked high by lawyers in talent but, incredible as it might sound, lawyers make up a very small part of the population. The attorney general lacks the boyish charm that masks Allen’s determination to punch out what he views as bloated government. And Gilmore will be called upon to defend a Republican administration whose combative style has not always earned it high marks with voters. Governor Allen will undoubtedly leave office with the best record in economic development of any chief executive in the state’s history. His brilliant strategy of recruiting professionals like Bob Skunda and Wayne Sterling to tout the state as an East Coast silicon valley is paying big dividends. It is too bad the administration did not follow the same formula of getting time-tested professionals to run some other state agencies instead of installing inexperienced people who had spent most of their time directing political campaigns. The truth is spin doctoring in politics doesn’t really qualify one to administer highly complex arms of state government. In 1993, Allen probably got the votes of 80 percent of state employees. If he were running today, from all I have seen and observed, he would be lucky to get the votes of 20 percent of those employees. Gilmore is going to have to row the boat that Allen leaves for him to paddle and he will find some leaks that threaten to toss him overboard. That is, if Gilmore is the nominee. Some pessimists within the GOP ranks are making quiet overtures to others to seek the gubernatorial nomination. Among names mentioned are Rep. Tom Davis of Fairfax and Senator John Chichester of Stafford. “Don Beyer can be beaten,” said one party pro who wished to remain anonymous, “but I’m not sure Jim Gilmore can do it because he’s not a crowd pleaser.” The same veteran political operative said, “Don Beyer, . like most Virginia Democrats, hasn’t had a new idea in years. They’re really brain dead and they depend on Republicans knocking each other out to stay in power.” An aggressive campaigner, he suggested, could contend that Democrats like Beyer cater to all the interest groups who constantly advocate tax and spend policies. He thinks the Republican nominee must defend Allen’s willingness to try new approaches, even if some of them did not work out, in an effort to reduce and revitalize state government. But he, and others, are not persuaded that Gilmore has the chutzpah to do it. Gilmore’s immediate task is to convince members of his own party that he has some game plan to take on Beyer and beat him in November, 1997. Until he does, there are going to be lingering doubts among the GOP constituency. " John Goolrick, a former political * reporter, is now an aide to 1st District £ Rep. Herbert Bateman.

SPORTS Soccer Camp Features Games I .Twenty-two county boys spent las^ week attending a soccer day camp sponsored by the Rappahannock Sofccer League and put on by the Soccer Academy in Manassas. ; Derek Godwin, who speaks with a decided English accent, headed the camp with the assistance of Johanna Klein. The emphasis at the camp was on building soccer skills by incorporating the skills in games. ! For example the boys were divided |into teams for a game called “Soccer Rounders” that was something of a cross between soccer and baseball. A player from one team would defend the goal, kicking the baO at the fielders and then run around a circle of cones. If he could get! back and defend his goal again before the fielding team has passed the* ball six times and set up for the kick on goal, he scored one run for his team. If, in defending his goal he kicked the ball so it could be caught or if he was unable to get back to defend the goal, he was out. Three outs brought the fielding team up to attempt to score runs. Mr. Godwin said this game caused the boys to work on passing skills without the dreariness of drills. It also encouraged running among some youngsters who rarely run during a soccer scrimmage. But they will run in “rounders” to help out their team, he said. Another game that involved a lot of running was what he called “Ethiopian Escape.” Again the boys were in two teams in a version of capture the flag. Each team had 10 soccer balls in its bank. The object was to steal the other team’s balls without getting tagged and sent to jail. Those in jail could only be freed when a teammate made it through to the jail to release them. If a player got through to steal a ball, he would wait until an opportunity to break for his own team’s bank. His teammates would engage in feinting runs to distract the defenders so he could make his run. This sort of “unselfish” feinting and running can be important in soccer, Mr. Godwin said. In addition the game helps develop aerobic stamina. Between the two teams was a sort of “no man’s land.” Once a player with a captured soccer ball reached that area, he had to dribble the soccer ball, and other players could attempt to take it away from him. That worked on dribbling and tackling skills, Mr. Godwin said. The boys did actually play soccer also during the camp and Mr. Godwin set that up as a “World Cup” competition. He seemed somewhat amazed that in America ties are unacceptable and told them they would have to learn to be good winners and good losers.

Mr. Raines is somewhat concerned about losing a full-sized classroom for this purpose, but new state requirements and the need for all students to know how to use computers is forcing the issue. Other new classes are a second year of journalism called Newspaper Production. It will be combined with first-year journalism. There is a sec-* ond year of Yearbook Production that will also be taught with first year. Drama and Creative Writing will return as electives. There will be a new Culinary Food Services class as well as a fullyear class in The World of Work, both taught through the home economics department. A new class,in Aerobics and Nutrition will be offered through the physical education department. ► Town From Page A-l on Business 211, Wheeler, Middle and Main streets, but would use it for Gay Street. She said she thought uniform street surfaces would look better. “They recommended against it,” she said of VDOT representatives. She said with pebbles in liquid asphalt'“people track in tar on their feet.” Another problem is that snow removal procedures tend to scrape up the pebbles. Mayor Willis said he had visited Williamsburg recently and found such a surface is only used on pedestrian areas with sand spread to prevent people from picking up ter on their shoes and still “they track into everywhere.” Charles Eldred, who used to work for VDOT, said, “It’s an absolute mess.” He said regular asphalt looks very black when it is first applied, but as it weathers it takes on the character of the native stone used in it. In this area local blue stone is used and the asphalt weathers to gray. It would be possible to use another color stone in the mix, but that would be very expensive because of transportation costs, he said.

T William Carrigan has played in promoting the town’s Fourth of July celebration. The vote was 6 to 0 with member Ray Gooch abstaining. Mr. Gooch said he could not vote for the resolution because he was concerned about some of Mr. Carrigan’s comments at the June Town Council meeting. Member Charlie Tompkins said RAAC had only made about $400 on the Fourth of July celebration and that was with perfect weather. “It concerns me the bath we’re going to take. if the weather doesn’t cooperate,” he; said. Frank Reynolds said RAAC did not expect the July 4 celebration to be a “major fundraiser, but there is i concern about what happens when it rains and RAAC is out about $4,000.; Mr. Tompkins said it was closer to $10,000. Mr. Reynolds suggested the town try to find some sort of insurance that would cover RAAC’s “out of pocket expenses” in the event of bad weather. ...' •< Mayor Willis said he had talked - with VDOT people about putting^ historic marker on U.S. 211 explaining the history of the town. It would cost about $ 1,100, he said. J. “Before you invite people in, you have to have something for them;’’ member Peter Skowronski said. He said people are using the road by the mill as a place to stop and change the baby’s diaper and throwing the old diapers into the Rush River. Mayor Willis said he was interested in taking on a project for the town next year and “that’s one to take oa” . Mr. Gooch said the town needs “some sort of welcome station with rest rooms” - “Wait till they tell you what you need to have for a commercial drginfield for it,” Mr. Eldred said. V. 1 — By SHARON KILPATRICK J ► Beach From Page A-l getting nearer with each one, I decided it was time to come to terms with reality and call my dad. My father, dedicated vacationer that he is, decided that we would still go. Thus that night 1 went to sleep with visions of palm tree$ and crystal clear waters dancing in my head.' It wasn’t meant to be though. The rnext day on “Today” Bertha was a about half a thumbnail away from the I Bahamas. ‘ A few hours later as I slipped into t the back of my dad’s convertible, I i asked him and his girlfriend if we ’ were still going. “No, We’ll get down there and the air port will get messed up and we’ll be stuck for weeks!” they saidr Since when was it a problem to get stuck somewhere like that? I didn’t complain though. Instead I popped Alanis Morrisette in my tape player and began to sing away the time it took us to get to Myrtle Beach. About halfway through North Carolina I looked at them and jokingly said, “Wouldn’t it be funny if we get down there and it hits Myrtle Beach too?” I plopped my suitcase on the bed and headed towards the drawers to unpack my stuff. Dad had already turned oh the Weather Channel and we all heard the awful news at once. Bertha was on the Bahamas; however^ she was expected to hit us after she left there. I’d had enough for one day and went to bed. The next day we went to breakfast and saw on television that the hurricane was coming nearer and nearer to us. My dad’s girlfriend and I headed for the beach and stayed there for a while. Then we went from hotel to hotel pretending we were guests so we could try out their pools. That night the three of us went to a show and returned home to once again watch the Weather Channel and see that Bertha was not far from hitting us. I woke up early and walked out on the balcony to see that almost all the cars were gone and the ones that were there were being packed to leave. “Evacuation,” my dad frowned. That was my vacation. We’re supposed to try again August 13-15. By then though hurrican Charles may be heading for the islands.

Community News Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, JULY 17,1996 City Children Enjoy Rappahannock's Fresh Air . By CINDY MAHAN , Rappahannock News Staff Writer ■; • ; Twelve year-old Asha Caraballo has been visiting with the Jim and Edie Clark family of Ben Venue for two weeks during the summer for the past five years, and this year she bfought her 8 year-old half-sister, Nadia Rosa. The two girls live in Brooklyn, New York, with their parents and seven brothers and sisters. They are just two out of about 7,000 New York City children who leave the hustle and bustle of the city for two weeks during the summer to experience country life as part of a program sponsored by the Fresh Air Fund. The Fresh Air Fund was begun in 1977 by a Presbyterian minister in Pennsylvania, who would place New York City children with parishioners from his church. The fund is financed mostly by New York City businessmen, said Betty Miller of Madison, who is the chairperson for the Fresh Air Fund in this part of Virginia. Last year Mariah Nadia gets ready to spray her sister with a water gun. Bluemont Surrounds Us Bluemont Summer Concerts are now going on every weekend in Culpeper and Luray as well as Warrenton. The concerts in Culpeper begin at 7 p.m. on Sunday evenings on the lawn of the old Courthouse in downtown and move to Culpeper County High School in case of bad weather. The concerts in Luray are at 7:30 p.m. Saturday evenings at the Inn Lawn Park on Zerkel Street. In case of bad weather the concerts are moved to Luray High School. In Warrenton the concerts are on the lawn of the Warren Green on Saturday evenings beginning at 7:30 p.m. and move to Warrenton Middle School in bad weather. There is a suggested donation of $3 per person per performance. This weekend Andrew Roblin and the Pocono Mountain Men will be performing in Warrenton. Sassparilla comes to Luray, and the Dixie Power Trio will be in Culpeper. Andrew Roblin and the Pocono Mountain Men play bluegrass music although Mr. Roblin was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Andrew Roblin is no Southerner, but he hopes 3)1 uegrass fans will excuse him. "1 never really was accepted very well by bluegrass people because I’m not a Southerner — much as I’d like to be one — and bluegrass is not in my blood,” he said. But he does love bluegrass. His love of this form of traditional American music drew him to Nashville at the age of 19. During his 10 years there, Mr. Roblin mastered the standard bluegrass banjo and guitar sounds that form the basis of his music. Sassparilla is a seven-member Washington-based band which performs a high-spirited blend of swing, rhythm and blues, and boogie-woogie. In addition to original compositions, the band’s repertoire includes upbeat, clever arrangements of songs from the 1920s and 1930s to the 1980s by such artists as Louis Jordan, Dan Hicks, Bob Wills, Hank Williams and Big Joe Turner. The Dixie Power Trio is fast becoming one of Bluemont’s most popular groups. This unique up-tempo band performs a wealth of musical styles. The trio is actually a quartet bririging together four remarkable musicians on a variety of instruments, including trumpet, banjo, tuba and drums. The sound starts out from a solid base of old-time New Orleans jazz and quickly breaks into an infectious blend of big band, Zydeco and rock and roll. At all three locations door prizes are offered by local merchants. The Bluemont Summer Concerts are presented by Bluemont Concert Series in partnership with local towns, businesses and families. Bluemont relies on more than 1,200 volunteers each summer to ensure that performances go smoothly. Future concerts in Luray include the Dixie Power Trio on July 27; Caribbean Festival on Aug. 3, and Andrew Roblin and the Pocono Mountain Men on Aug. 10. Future concerts in Culpeper include Caribbean Festival on July 28; Big Blow and the Bushwackers on Aug. 4, and Andrew Roblin and Poconno Mountain Men on Aug. 11. RAAC Movie Shown Friday The Academy Award-winning film “Dead Man Walking, “ staring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, will be shown at The Theatre in Washington at 8 p.m. this Friday, June 19. This film recently received yet another award, the Humanitas Prize, given to movies and TV shows with positive human values. Judges chose the film over more than 500 other scripts, citing its “unflinching look at the horrendous consequences of murder, whether carried out by an individual or the state.” The cost of the movie is $5. There is no RAAC Friday night movie in August. The film series will resume with “Mr. Holland's Opus” on Sept. 20. Carey performed a benefit concert for the Fund. Mrs. Miller said that most of the 7,000 children are sent to homes in New England; Virginia is the farthest south that they are sent. Many of the kids come from underprivileged homes. Asha and Nadia were picked up in Winchester following their bus trip on July 3, just in time to experience the July 4 celebration in Washington. When they got home after the fireworks and saw the stars in the sky above the Clarks’ house, they said it looked like the fireworks had “gone up and stayed in the sky,” said Mrs. Clark. They have had a busy time since arriving in Rappahannock, and especially Nadia, they have been doing things she has never done before, such as riding horses, swimming at the 4-H pool near Front Royal and in the river, experiencing Kings Dominion and the Discovery Zone in Manassas. They have also been doing simpler things like catching butterflies and lightning bugs and collecting eggs from the henhouse. A big thrill for both was when they saw a bear and a deer. Another night they had a slumber party and pitched tents in the yard. Nadia said she really enjoys watching the family dog, a Golden Retriever, catch flies. “You get to see a lot of stuff you don’t see in New York,” said Asha. She learned to swim here, and last Wednesday afternoon the two girls were anxious to get into their swimsuits to play games under the spray of the water hose.. The Clarks’ 14 year-old daughter, Haley, also enjoys having the girls visit. “It is fun doing things together,” she said. Mrs. Clark said the girls are Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Haley Clark, Asha Caraballo and Nadia Rosa show off some eggs they collected. always willing to help, be it setting the table for dinner or helping with dishes. Mrs. Clark said she found out about the Fresh Air Fund from her sister in Staunton who has had the same girl yisij every summer for the last seven years. “It is real enlightening,” she said, adding that things we take for granted are not always available to people living in other areas. As far as she knows, hers is the only family in Rappahannock County sponsoring kids from the Fresh Air Fund this summer. Mountainside Market Has Water Art Display An art exhibit featuring several Rappahannock area artists will be on display at Mountainside Market on U.S. 211 west of Sperryville for the remainder of the month of July. This exhibit is part of an on-going effort to increase citizen awareness regarding water resources in the Piedmont, in the state, and in the Chesapeake Bay and Blue Ridge Mountain bio-regions. The initial showing of the exhibit was at the inaugural “Citizens for Water Quality Summit” at the University of Virginia School of Architecture' in Charlottesville in June. Most recently it has been on display at the Airlie Center in Warrenton as part of the Piedmont Family Fair, and after its Rappahannock, residence at Mountainside it will move on to numerous locations in the MidAtlantic area, including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in Annapolis. Photo courtesy of Helen Smith Jonathan Bankston assists Fred Fees with his black powder demonstration at 4-H Shooting Sports Camp. 4-Hers Enjoy Shooting By EMILY TAYLOR Rappakaoiock News Contributing Writer The week of July 7-11 Jonathan Bankston, Carter Bruce and Brian Taylor attended a 4-H special interest camp. This camp focused on three shooting sports — archery, 22 rifle, and pellet guns. Every night we had an evening program. The most interesting program to me was the black powder demonstration. Fred Fees, also known as “Tab,” put on the demonstration. He also taught pellet guns for the week. The kids seemed to really enjoy the camp. Besides the summer staff at the camp there were two teen counselors, Matt Marlor and I. All in all, I had a great week, and I hope to do it again next year. i Beginning in 1975 though, Sally and Daniel Keyser in Old Hollow began sponsoring a brother and sister, Michelle and Michael, who then lived in the Queens borough of New York City. Michelle was five and Michael was six. Before visiting the Keysers, said Mrs. Keyser, they had never walked barefoot or had a picnic. Michelle now 26, is married and lives in California; Michael lives in Utah. Michelle visits the Keysers every Thanksgiving and sometimes more often. “She is like a grandchild to us. We hear from her all year long,” said Mrs. Keyser, who was eager to show photographs of both Michelle and Michael, as they look now and as children when they visited as part of the Fresh Air Fund. Mrs. Keyser said that Michelle told her that not a day goes by that she doesn’t think of her and her husband. Children aged six to twelve are eligible to be sent to the country by the Fresh Air Fund, said local chairperson Betty Miller. After the age of 12, the children can go only if they are being invited back to some place they have already visited, and then they can be placed until they ar6 18. . She agreed with Mrs. Keyser about keeping in touch with children who visited as youngsters. This weekend she is expecting a visit from a man who stayed with her 34 years ago who now lives in California. And he is bringing his two sons. For more information about the Fresh Air Fund or to apply to have children visit next summer, call Edie Clark at 937-3188 or Betty Miller at 672-1335. Magrab Show Sells Out By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Phyllis Magrab’s exhibition of 14 acrylic on paper paintings, the July show at the Middle Street Gallery, features large minimalist abstractions of many colors. The success of this show can be measured by the fact that after the opening on Sunday, July 7, 10 of the pictures have been sold. Each picture for the most part features one color, like the blue one entitled “Arctic Air” where a misty atmosphere is suggested. How the colors “behave” is much influenced by the way light strikes the surfaces to a greater extent than one usually notices. Unfortunately, the protecting glass can make seeing the paintings difficult. I’m wondering if the medium affects the way light reflects from the glass? All the surface of the picture plane is covered and because of the way the paint is applied, there are virtually no edges or negative spaces. The artist is creating a sensation through heightening or reducing the Review tones and shades of the colors she combines. Some of the pictures are titled “Window Series # x.” In most of these there is a slight suggestion of a frame or a space into or beyond, but there is very little space created in these pictures. One is called “Wood’s Edge” where a tree trunk can be implied apd the earth colors evoke a dark landscape area. Ms. Magrab successfully avoids suggesting anything concrete to the viewer — a difficult accomplishment as anyone who finds camels and elephants in clouds knows. Not a few combine colors like lavender, blue and yellow, or peach, lavender and purple in an attractive way. This is an exhibition for persons looking for moods that especially favorite colors and their association can provoke.
