All said the road does need improvements since it regularly is flooded out, but all also agreed the VDOT proposal to rebuild the road with a new intersection and a 25-foot paved surface was “overkill.” Bemie Fisken said, “It’s a squirrel project. VDOT is bringing in a bear gun.” He added that the proposed road improvement would create a speedway and said Rappahannock County “is the pearl of the Piedmont.” 1 He suggested instead of spending $800,000 on improving the joad VDOT should spend about $100,000 and leave the rest to make patches. “You can do a lot of road patching for $800,000,” he said. Phil Irwin agreed saying, “Something ought to be done. Their proposal is way beyond anything necessary.” Phyllis Magrab said, “Rural life is dying because of things like this.” Garland Sealock said she has the only entrance on that section of Route 630. “It would just be a fast exit to other highways. I’m opposed to it and I hope you will do the same.” Kathleen Maier suggested the county develop its own standards “so we’re not always trying to catch up, and run behind VDOT.” Marc Malik said the proposed road design “is setting a new standard for the county with a 25-foot roadway width.” He said the proposed road would take out all the trees and instead recommended a project that would leave the trees on one side of the road. He said with what VDOT is proposing drivers could drive 65 mile$ per hour until they come to the 90 degree turn at the bridge at the end of the section scheduled for improvements. Ross Hales suggested some of the money could be used to make changes in the bridge. “It’s a hazard waiting to happen,” he said. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey agreed saying “improvements need to be made to get the water back in the river....We should request VDOT to do a different scenario on See Road, Page A-8 Old Rag Bulletins ~ Basketball Try Outs Try outs for RCHS girls’ basketball will be Monday; Aug. 12.

Va. 22747 (340) <73-3338 (340) 675-3088 (taa) Mountains Featured in SummerQuest 1996 By SHARON KILPATRICK Staff Wrtttr - in Eighty-eight gifted students who will be entering the middle school grades (sixth through eighth) in Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Fauquier counties have all been a part of SummerQuest, the regional governor’s school hosted by Rappahannock County High School, and focusing on the mountains this week and last. This is the second year the program has been at RCHS and the eighth year overall. Before the first SummerQuest there was a summer program for older students organized by RCHS English teacher Jon Heddleston focusing on the mountains. Over the years the program was one of several offerings in the regional governor’s school with the rest of the classes at Culpeper County Junior High School. When the program moved to RCHS last year, most of the emphasis of the two-week program became the mountains. ' This yeSr' the sftl^sMs could choose from six classes as their “Mountains’ Journey”: Smart-Art, The Hills Are Alive (science). Once Upon a Time (history), Surrounding Sounds (music), Blue Ridge Brainteasers (mathematical puzzles) and Writers’ World. All the students had to be identified as gifted in “general intellectual aptitude,” “specific academic aptitude,” or “visual and performing arts.” ' Working in their different fields of study, the students have had a variety of field trips and assemblies incorporating the study of the ecology and history of the area. They have visited with Darwin Lambert and learned about what the area in the Shenandoah National Park was like before there was a park. They have visited Lake Arrowhead outside Luray. They have been on fossil hunts just north of Winchester, and they have studied life along a stream at Helen and Emerson Williams’ farm in Castleton. Some have been in search of signs of local mountain life in the park before it WaS formed. Alt will be climbing Stony Man Mountain. On Friday Lisa Uram from the Virginia Wildlife Center visited bringing Scarlet, a ■ You have a chance to choose. Choose for the animals.’ — Lisa Uraiil red-tailed hawk who had been injured when the tree in which she was a nestling was cut down; Wanda, a black rat snake who could not reproduce; and Lea, a long-eared owl who was hit by a car. The students all got a chance to touch the snake but not the birds of prey. Ms. Uram went through an exercise selecting 10 students to be baby hawks and discovering what happened so only two survived until their first birthdays.-She urged the students to work on fixing those things that kill the animals which are caused by people. “You have a chance to choose,” she said. “Choose for the animals.” Mr. Heddleston has been teaching the writing class. On Friday he was helping a student tum her free verse poem into one with iambic meter. He said his goals for the two weeks were to have the students do “stretch activities,” writing in forms that were not their usual choices, free writing on their own project, and review what they and the others have written. “Every day it is a little better,” he said. He said some students take the class more than once and some return as interns after they are no longer young enough to be regular students in the class. See Quest, Page A-8 Sheriff's Office Seizes Marijuana By CINDY MAHAN 4 Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer A couple of marijuana busts have been made in the county within the last two weeks. Sheriff Gary Settle said that six marijuana plants were confiscated from a property on U.S. 211 in Washington which had been discovered during the eradication program, observed from a helicopter. Also during the last week of July, a search warrant was obtained to search a resident on Route 729 in Amissville for possible distribution of narcotics, said Sheriff Settle. The warrant was obtained with the cooperation of the Culpeper See Drugs, Page A-8 Mysterious Alphabet? No one seems to know why U.S. 211 and Route 231 are lined with signs in day-glow colors with letters of the alphabet on them. Coming from Warrenton through Sperryville and heading for Madison, the signs are apparently in alphabetical order, but they are spaced very irregularly and there also does not seem to be a pattern to the background colors of poster board used. The “T” between the “S” and the “U” on Route 231 was mowed down Monday. A check with VDOT, County Administrator John McCarthy and the Extension Service Tuesday produced no answers. Mr. McCarthy said he had also checked with the Sheriff’s Office and there were no answers there. "If the goal was to make the county’s bureaucracy scratch its collective head, it has been successful,v he added. Katzen Pursues Campaign His constituents must be pleased with the job Del. Jay Kaizen, R-31st District, is doing in Richmond. Few came out to talk to him for the scheduled meeting with voters in the county library last Thursday. Del. Katzen is also campaigning for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor of Virginia in the 1997 election. The state Republican Party committee has decided that it will select its candidates for governor, lieutenant gov*emor and attorney general in a primary June 10, 1997. Del. Katzen said he is very pleased with that decision and, in fact, had written to the party chairman requesting a primary. The timing of that will enable him to qualify for another run for the House of Delegates if he fails to win the nomination for lieutenant governor. Del. Katzen is running behind in most polls. Coleman Andrews leads with Larry Hager also ahead of Del. Katzen among those who have heard of the contest for lieutenant governor, but that is a very small percentage of potential voters in a Republican primary. However, it does not appear that current state Attorney General Jim Gilmore will have any opposition in seeking the See Katzen, Page A-8 Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Shanxi Kilpatrick Del.

RCHS Student Is Published Cartoonist t l t By NAOMI SMOOT Rappahannock Ncw» Intern > At age 15 Lisa Foster is like other people her age. For the most part lanyway! t Sure she likes to watch television jand listen to alternative music. However, how many other high ■school sophomores do you know who •are nationally published cartoonists? So far her work has apeared in •The Examiner and several other nationwide publications. She has also been training with a company called . Azure for the past two years. ,* “I love to draw and I’d like to see more of my work [get published] so more people can enjoy it as much as I enjoy drawing it,” she commented. She explained that her drawings are a mixture of Manga, a Japanese -style artwork, and American. This look has been achieved [through extensive art classes. She says however that “I adapt to other people’s style of drawing and really taught myself to draw.” . Lisa, like anyone else pursuing a bream, was inspired to do so, mainly by her father and Marvel Comic Books. > Her dad, who also enjoys drawing, gave her the courage to continue drawing and refine the work which she had already done. She says he Jalso told her, “As I grow my drawings ydll grow too.” Her father alone was not the cause of her success though. What was the real reason for her attempt at getting her work published? “I wanted thefn [peers] to see that Pictures couitesy of Lisa Fostei RCHS sophomore Lisa Foster has had some of her cartoons published. I can do something besides being quiet and that I really do have a gift.” Lisa, who lives in Chester Gap, hopes to continue with her comics and possibly do a little painting as well. “I like to try new things,” she said about her artworks future. What about as an adult? Although she is still uncertain about her future she wants to possibly use comics as a side job. For right now, however, Lisa is content in having proven to the world that she is talented and that she will succeed in life.

The charges arose out of four separate sales of marijuana made to the same individual, in the amounts of 7.77 grams and 7.20 grams on August 2, 1995, 14.47 grams on August 4, 1995, and 10.39 grams on August 11,1995. The plea agreement with the Commonwealth sentences Mr. Jones to six months in jail, suspends that sentence, and places him on supervised probation for two years. He paid a fine in the amount of $3,098.70 plus costs of $901.30 last week. Yvette Maria Burke, 31, of Boston, pleaded guilty to petit larceny (reduced from grand larceny in a plea agreement) and possession of a firearm after having been convicted of a felony, which is itself a felony. She faces up to five years in prisop. Sentencing will be on Oct. 17, and Ms. Burke was directed to have a DNA test completed. George D, Coldsmith, 25, of Chambersburg, Pa., pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana and cocaine. Because Mr. Coldsmith has first offender status, the charges will be dismissed after a year if he has no criminal convictions, has no other pending criminal matters and has remained drug free. He shall be supervised by the Fauquier County Adult Court Services and submit to its standard drug testing program once a month. Judge W. Shore Robertson told Mr. Coldsmith, “Don’t waste your life on drugs; you have too much on the ball for that.” Building Volunteers Sought Virginia Mountain Housing Company is in need of volunteers in construction and plumbing to help out on an emergency home repair in Flint Hill.

In 1993, about 83 percent of local sixth graders passed all three tests. In 1996 only about 47 percent passed all three, a 43 percent drop. Statewide the percentage who passed all three tests was increasing from 65.6 percent in 1995 to 69.5 percent last spring. When the Literacy Passport tests were first introduced, Rappahannock students trailed the statewide passing rate but surpassed all the surrounding school districts. This year, not only did county students dramatically trail the statewide passing rate, but for the first time all the school districts around the county had a higher rate. It is hard to know what accounts for that. The 1993 passing rate, when county students were eighth best in the state, was not typical for the county. Neither was the 1996 passing rate, when county students were fifteenth from the bottom in the state. With a small school population, Rappahannock schools can be expected to show more variation from year to year than larger school systems, but the trend has been steadily down since 1993. However, test scores are not the whole picture. For the past two weeks county schools have been a beacon of excellence as the high school has hosted a Governor’s School for the gifted. The mountains program at SummerQuest has been a resounding success. There are other pockets of excellence in county schools, but they are becoming rarer. Too often the county loses its outstanding teachers. Too often the school administration is left trying to explain away bad results. The county schools are neither as bad as last year’s Literacy Passport Test results would indicate nor as good as the ones from 1993 would indicate. Frankly, it seems there is too much emphasis on Total Quality Management and forming Quality Teams and not enough on “quality teaching” and “quality learning.” Ifcu call thit a choice?

A cornfield forms a backdrop for this outbuilding and four-board fence on U.S. 522. By JOHN GOOLRICK It is likely that for every minority elected to state legislatures or Congress as a result of redistricting following the 1990 census, two or more Republicans were voted into office. Looking at it pragmatically, one wonders why a few Republicans from Tidewater Virginia have mounted a federal court challenge to the constitutionality of the state’s majority black 3rd District represented by Rep. Bobby Scott, a black Democrat. They say they are offended by the notion that the General Assembly used racial considerations in 1991 when it created the 3rd and a number of majority black state legislative districts. A federal court will hear their challenge in September. . Legal experts think they have a better than even chance of winning since the Supreme Court has already struck down several majority black districts in southern states, saying districts created solely for racial considerations and ignoring such traditional factors as compactness do not meetconstitutional muster. But the edicts, as is often the case, were fuzzy and left open the clear possibility that some majority black districts might be upheld if challenged. The puzzling aspect is that state legislatures such as<that of Virginia were under the clear impression in the early 1990s that they had no choice but to create majority black districts whenever such districts were possible. “That’s what we were told by the Justice Department,” said Del. V. Earl Dickinson of Louisa, a ranking member of the House of Delegates Privileges and Elections Committee. “We were told we had no choice in the matter and we were certainly under the impression this policy was one favored by the Supreme Court.” But now the court has largely disowned what was federal policy and its future rulings could result in a Domino effect. If, for example, the federal court strikes down Virginia’s 3rd District and orders its boundaries redrawn, that will have an effect on at least the state’s present 1st, 2nd, 4th and 7th Districts and possibly others. Most experts think the case will go to the Supreme Court no matter how decided this fall while others speculate there is at least some chance court action will be swift and order boundaries redrawn in time to have new congressional elections in 1997, thus opening the chance of having federal elections in a gubernatorial election year. Others, such as Dickinson, don’t think that will happen. He says his committee is taking a wait and see attitude on redistriqting. There are reports that the Senate Privileges and Elections counterpart is already starting to plan for the possibility of a special congressional redistricting session next spring. But State Sen. Kevin G. Miller, the Republican committee chairman, said in reply to an inquiry from this column any course of action will depend on federal court action creating “a situation making it prudent that the committee meet to consider actions.” | What has gone largely unreported ; so far is the consequences of definitive ctiurt rulings requiring new congressional redistricting. Such an eventuality might well lead to challenge of pre-; sent majority black state legislative districts and even city and county 1 election districts. ! While some may consider court edicts banning racially motivated districts as conservative in nature, the hard truth is that packing minorities,! who vote largely Democratic, into dis-; tricts creates opportunities for Republicans to gain seats. In Virginia, for example., creation of the 3rd District made safe Republican seats in two districts and created situations in the 2nd and 4th districts where Republicans would be likely winners! whenever the conservative Democrats who hold those seats depart. Indeed, there were strategy ses; sions in 1991 in which Republican* had unlikely allies in the ACLU and NAACP in favoring creation of minor ity districts. The motives of the various parties may have been different, but the outcome was election of more . blacks and more Republicans as was the case throughout the nation. The Tidewater Republicans chal* lenging, the 3rd District think race should not be a consideration in draw* ing of district lines. In that respecl they may be purists, but they are certainly not pragmatists. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own. The Writer’s Art By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Aha! The verb “to dis” finally made it to the big leagues. Spelled with one ‘s,’ it turned up in June in two brand-new dictionaries from Random House. It means “to show disrespect for; affront,” also “to disparage; belittle.” The editors say that “dis” is also a noun meaning “insult or disparagement; criticism,” but I’d like to see the citations. It’s hard to imagine someone saying, “Sir, I regard that as a dis!” The verb has been around for at least five years, but the makers of dictionaries are just now catching up. The compiling and publishing of dictionaries is a big business, ranking up there with the publishing of Bibles. In an effort to improve its market share, Random House surprised the competition in April by simultaneously producing a revised and updated College Dictionary, and a new “Compact Unabridged” version of its current Second Edition Unabridged. These are handsome volumes, priced respectively at $23.95 and $50. Random House and MerriamWebster dominate the field of English language dictionaries. M-W produced its massive Third Unabridged in 1976 with 470,000 entries; the work periodically is updated, most recently in 1993, and will be completely revised as Webster’s IV after 2000. The Tenth Edition of Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary came out in 1993. For its pan, Random House published its Second Edition Unabridged in 1987 with 315,000 entries; the work was updated in 1993. The new “Compact Unabridged” is a lightheavyweight ver. ion of the same volume in slightly smaller typeface. A section on new words has been added, and the brief compendium of foreign words regrettably has been dropped. In pasting up the new , “Compact Unabridged,” the editors did their work with manicure scissors. For example, the five-line entry for “dis” appears in the center column on page 560. The problem was to squeeze it in with minimal typesetting. Nothing to it. The editors cut one line from the definition of “dirty war” and culled four line from “disability.” Carry on! To qualify for admission to the pearly gates of lexicography, Sol Steinmetz of Random House requires a minimum of 10 citations from five reputable sources over a period of one year. That identifies the word as a candidate for inclusion. After a second year, if the citations continue at an accelerating pace, the word is welcomed to the English language. Among the candidates admitted in 1996: Bloviate, to speak pompously; car bomb, chump change, drive-by, drop dead, fedex, home page, lap dance, Megan’s Law, mouse pad, netiquette, red card, sidebar, thigh-high and softball (in the sense of a softball question). Coinages from the computer world are coming forth with bewildering speed. The revised Random House College Dictionary lists cybernation, cybernetics, cyberpunk, cybersex and cyberspace. The new .“Compact Unabridged” adds “cyberphobia,” an “abnormal” fear of working with computers. That strikes me as a value judgment — the kind of judgment that descriptive lexicographers are not supposed to make. How is an “abnormal” fear of computers to be distinguished from a normal fear of computers? I .know a fellow who is terrified of getting trapped in Windows and never get ting out. Indeed I know him pretty well. Is there such a condition as cyberphilia? That would be an abnormal devotion to computers. Can one adore these mysterious machines? It seems entirely likely. A gentleman of my acquaintance (he calls . me Grandfather) suffers quite profitably from the affliction. Fearlessly he enters cyberspace and flawlessly he returns to Earth. Back to dictionaries. American Heritage and New World both are at work on updating their dictionaries. I liked the comments of usage panels in American Heritage. The New World is heavier than the other college dictionaries, but its typography is easy on old eyes, and it includes such oddments as a translation of “veni, vidj, vici.” ~ As I’ve said a good many times, ai good dictionary is the first tool of a writer. If you can afford two, get a college edition and an unabridged. Then you can have the pleasure of wonder- - ing about a hyphen in “baby-sit.” it ought to be babysit, babysat, babysitting, but the experts decree otherwise. I wouldn’t dis them for the world.

Many Favor Walking for Good Exercise! Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Leroy North pitched in the win over Broadway. . Monarchs Win in Playoffs After the Rappahannock ' Monarchs took a pounding Saturday 18 to 8 from Woodstock they bounced back Sunday to defeat Broadway 20 to 13. Leroy North went the distance on the mound for the Monarchs 1 striking out eight. Leading the way for the Monarchs’ offense was Scratch Clanagan with two singles and a home run. Roland Harris adding three singles.; The Monarchs will face Woodstock again Saturday at Sandy Hook field in Strasburg at 1 p.m. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Stiff Writer Walking is such an easy exercise — nearly everyone can do it, and it can be done almost anywhere. j More and more walkers can be seen out in all kinds of weather, swinging their arms and taking long strides in order to get the full benefit of this exercise which is great both for firming up muscles and for the cardiovascular system. It’s also a good ' way to get a tan. Kerri Wagner of Washington started out with short walks in April, 1995, and her walks grew progressively longer. “Now I am a walking addict,” she said. She walks in extreme heat and cold, through snow, rain, and fog. In the big snow last January, she and her husband were snowed in at Sycamore Hill House for six days. “As soon as it was plowed, I was out there,” she said, wearing hiking boots instead of sneakers, and several layers of clothing. Mrs. Wagner says that her main impetus for starting walking was as a recovery program from cancer surgery. Also, she admitted, she had seen a spring shape-up program on the Oprah Winfrey show and that got her going. She has now worked up to walking three miles daily, which includes her 1.6 mile round trip steep (a 500 ft. rise from the bottom to the top), gravel driveway. Though she has arthritis in one knee, it has never been bothered by the walking. She said that exercise is important to build bone mass and protect the heart. Mrs. Wagner wears out a pair of Reebok classic nylon running shoes every three months, but that is her main expense for the sport. She said, and probably most walkers agree, that good shoes are the most important piece of walking gear. She also swears by Thorlo socks, which cost $12 a pair but are padded on the ball 4. Not the By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer High school Athletic Director Mike Tupper is not having as much difficulty developing schedules for the sports teams as he feared when he learned last summer that RCHS would be going into a district with cjnly three other teams. . He said Luray, Page, Stonewall Jackson and Strasburg, all schools in the new Shenandoah District, are interested in scheduling games with Rappahannock because the county’s fans generally show up and swell the gate receipts. Those schools are closer than George Mason, Brentsville and Manassas Park, the three other schools in the new Bull Run District with Rappahannock, and besides the local rivalries go back to the days of the old Skyline District, he said. He is nearly finished scheduling girls’ basketball for the fall, and has -14 games on the schedule with the possibility for two more. ; 1 For cross country Mr. Tupper is still developing the schedule, but he already knows it will include a fourway meet at home with the three other schools in the district Oct. 2 as well as the district championship on the home course on the Bleu Rock Inn property. The team will participate in several invitational meets also. Mr. Tupper believes the team will end up with ' seven meets or so. - - Fall sports teams will begin tryouts and practices Monday. • Tryouts for both varsity and JV girls basketball will be held in the gym between 9 a.m. and noon. Boys’ and girls’ cross country teams will have their first practice also beginning at 9 a.m. Cheerleading tryouts will begin at 4p.m. He has also been at work scheduling winter and spring sports teams. A new winter sport is JV wrestling. Mr. Tupper said he will be working with • the athletic directors at Manassas Park . and Brentsville high schools, which have strong wrestling programs, to develop a schedule for the new junior varsity team. “Strasburg will wrestle Itj si : i ' - - ' * * jV v ~ ‘ i' ! ' * Subscribe to the Rappahannock^ News. Call 675-3338 % - r * * ^ us also,” Mr. Tupper said. For the three boys’ basketball teams and two girls’ volleyball teams he has nearly completed scheduling with games with the three teams in the . district plus Luray, Page, Stonewall Jackson and Strasburg to complete the schedules. The boys’ varsity team.will complete in a winter invitational tournament at Page County over the Christmas break, he said.. Fui pring, soccer and track are still up in the air. Scheduling JV soccer is the most difficult, Mr. Tupper said because of the shortage of nearby small schools with JV programs in soccer. For the most part only larger schools have JV soccer programs, and their JV players are generally bigger than the team RCHS can field. For the varsity soccer players, in the district only Brentsville plays spring soccer. In the Shenandoah Distript Central and Clarke will continue to field teams and Stonewall Jackson is adding a team this year. “We would like to get Madison also,” Mr. Tupper said. Schedules for baseball and softball are shaping up in the same way that basketball and volleyball schedules did. Junior varsity baseball and softball are new spring sports, and Mr. Tupper does not anticipate having difficulty scheduling them. “It’s not the nightmare I thought it was going to be,” he said. “Everybody still wanted to play us, but it will mean we are playing a lot of games that don’t mean anything [in terms of district standing],” he said. He is looking forward to a good year in high school sports. SAVE $400 FOR A LIMITED TIME -* BIG SAVINGS ON BIG TRACTORS!

She trained for the Fodderstack 10K race by walking 5 1/2 rriiles a day, interspersed with some running, during February through April, and ended up running about half the race. She really had to bundle up for those days, wearing tights, long underwear and leggings, a Thinsulate shirt, another top and a jacket, along with gloves, and a hat.

They have added a lot of antiques and furniture to the main shop, and four of the five cabins, named “The Shops at Chestnut Run Village,” are rented out and are filled with more antiques, crafts and furniture. The Corboys own Yorkshire Furniture store in Manassas and said that the venture at Skyline Treasures is a whole new direction for them. They hope to carry items in their shops that are not available in other local shops. They do sell some furniture in the shop; some is refinished and some is sold “as is.” Most of the items have been purchased at auctions, said Mrs. Corboy. One of the cabins will be selling entirely used furniture. Antiques in the main shop include linens, glassware (some carnival glass), dishes, other kitchen items and some pressed flower pictures. The country store section sells honey, cider, jams and jellies. One room houses a selection of oriental-style rugs very reasonably priced: $15 for a 2’x4’; $39 for a 4’x6’, and $69 for a 6’x8’.

I PM for Schools Wins Support During its quarterly meeting on July 18, the Virginia Pesticide Control Board adopted a resolution supporting voluntary Integrated Pest Management programs in Virginia’s public schools. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) uses all avenues available to control pests. The program can reduce the. use of chemicals and provide economical and effective pest suppression. The basis for a pest control pro» gram is understanding what pests need. A major emphasis in IPM is elimination of those elements that attract pests — moisture, food, air, nesting sites, or shelter. Populations can be prevented, or controlled by creating inhospitable environments', by removing some of the basic ele>ments pests need to survive, or simply by blocking their access into buildings. Preventive actions may be as simple as installing screens or fixing a dripping faucet. On those occasions when treatment is necessary, IPM always uses the method with the least impact on humans. Pests may be managed by methods such as traps or vacuums in place of pesticides, or these methods may be used in conjunction with pesticides to reduce the quantity and frequency of applications. 4 Pest control in schools is a vital component of health and safety, protecting students and staff from dis. eases carried by insects, rodents, or other pests, and minimizing pest damage to structures and.personal property. Pest control also improves the quality of the educational envt ronment by reducing disruptions caused by the presence of pests. Members of the Virginia Pesticide Control Board voted unani- • mously to support and encourage voluntary Integrated Pest Management in schools. The resolution encourages all Virginia school districts to develop and adopt IPM strategies for managing pests in oi - surrounding school property. The Office of Pesticide Services will be ’ working with the Virginia Department of Education to pul together a packet of information oq IPM to send to Virginia schools; Schools wanting immediate information about IPM may contact the Office of Pesticide Services at (804)786-3798.

The memorial was an Eagle Scout project for Jennings Carney of Boy Scout Troop 36. Mr. Davis has been a volunteer assistant with the troop, and Jennings had had an especially close relationship with him. Jennings described how the site was selected. He walked the trail near ‘He put a lot into Scouting. This was the least I could do for him. I hope people will remember him.’ —Jennings Carney . the river and selected a site with a prominent rock he wanted to make a part of the memorial. Along with 10 to 12 of his fellow Boy Scouts, Jennings brought in fill dirt and rocks from across the Rush River, built a rock wall to hold the fill making a level area, built a series of steps down to the memorial site and built a wooden bench to sit on while quietly watching the river flow by. The final step was Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Lain, Jeb and Vinnie Carney admire the plaque with Pat Davis and Jennings Carney. fastening a brass plaque to the rock. A total of about 120 hours of donated Scout labor went into the project. Jennings told of funny things that had happened when he went camping with Mi'. Davis. “He put a lot into Scouting. This was the least I could do for him. 1 hope people will remember him.” He also thanked the Scouts who had helped with the project. Former Scoutmaster Paul Nichols said of Mr. Davis, “We really enjoyed having him working with the Scouts. He had a tremendous heart and gave 100 percent for the boys....He was wholesome; he was genuine and he said it like it was.” Pat Davis, clerk of the District Court and Mr. Davis’s' Widow, said of the memorial, “It’s very appropriate. The best part of Rappahannock is the continued support of people of the community.” TRYING TO SELL YOUR CAR? Classifieds give you the results you're looking for!

Cicadas Did Little Damage On July 181 heard die dry, winding-down sound of the annual cicada. This one is with us each July and August as the males lure females to them by their persistent, tired-sounding rasp. The annual cicada spends seven years underground as a nymph to emerge as an adult for a brief place in die summer sun. The throbbing drone of the 17year cicada that filled the June days with the sound is but a memory, if even that. Who kept a record and noted the last day of the relentless — to some — ominous monotony of the male cicadas? When did it end? Was there a gradual cessation of sound or did it end abrupdy? I find fragments of delicate, red-Veined wings among the leaves in my wild flower garden and bits of nymphal skin turn up in the soil of our vegetable patch. The remains of the myriads of cicadas that filled the world with sound in June are now a part of the soil that nourished them for 17 years. As I travel through the Virginia Piedmont drooping brown leaves on terminal twigs indicate where the female cicada has deposited her eggs. With the slit where eggs were deposited the food supply has been cut off; the leaves have died. Cicada signs are spotty; in some areas there are none. In others trees appear to have some grotesque decoration. Route 211 west from Warrenton has many trees that have been “. . zapped by die cicadas,” as Lee Trott puts it. My favorite drive, Route 647 All Things Wild And Wonderful By John Trott The Virginia Naturalist between Marshall and Flint Hill, has much cicada zapping. Along Interstate 66 from Front Royal toward Manassas, one runs in and out of signs of cicada egg laying. Oaks of all species showed the most clusters of brown leaves. Bill Burdick of The Plains wrote that American Chestnuts on his property, planted in the early ‘70s, were definitely the tree of choice for cicadas. I was pleased to read that he has American Chestnuts and not the Chinese or Japanese species. If Bill Burdick says he has American Chestnut he most likely does; he is a careful observer. Chestnuts are very closely related to oaks. If cicadas select oaks for their egg laying; they would also choose chestnuts. I find myself more interested in trees the cicadas did not choose. So far I have not seen Tulippoplars with signs of cicada zapping. This elegant tree has many common names; Tulip-tree, Yellow-poplar and Whitewood. Tulip-poplars are magnolias and this plant family has a very primitive flower structure. The earliest flowers to evolve probably looked like the magnolia blooms we see today. Is it possible that Liriodendron tulipifera has, over millions of years, developed toxins to discourage cicada egg laying? It was Ecologist Eugene Odum who wrote; “Ecological relationships are not more complex than man thinks; they are more complex than man can think.” For me, this includes miracles of evolution. Since I have become a diligent and constant watcher of signs of cicada egg-laying I have noticed that the ubiquitous Tree-of-Heaven, Ailanthus altissima, has also remained unvisited by ovipositing cicadas. Except for very young and fruit trees, the ovipositing by the cicadas does little damage. It is reassuring to think of it as nature’s pruning. There will be a spurt of growth behind the short slits for eggs; trees have backup strategies for dealing with cicadas. Next year the tree will be fuller. The tree has compensated. After all, cicadas and oaks have dealt with each other for millions of years. ► Drugs From Page A-l town police and a local State Police trooper; some of the Culpeper police’s confidential informants indicated there might be drugs at the location searched. The search warrant was used at 1:17 a.m., said Sheriff Settle. All in all, one pound of marijuana was confiscated, some at the house and some from a purchaser. Sheriff Settle said that some of the marijuana had been purchased out of state to be sold in Rappahannock, Fauquier and Culpeper counties. Also found were electronic measuring devices, other drug paraphernalia,, and documents and notations that would indicate narcotics distribution. Both cases are. still under investigation, and no one has yet been formally charged. Sheriff Settle said that one pound of marijuana is a substantial amount for a small rural area. “We got a pound off the streets that could have been distributed to our kids in Rappahannock,” he said. As of July 25, said Sheriff Settle, 50 marijuana plants had been seized this year as a result of the eradication program, which includes siting some of the marijuana plants from a State Police helicopter and some from informants that offer “tidbits of information” that someone may be growing marijuana somewhere. With his connections with the State Police. Sheriff Settle said he can have access to the helicopter almost whenever he needs it. Sheriff Settle is tenacious in his fight against drugs in Rappahannock County. He said the Sheriff’s Office wants to make Rappahannock a drug-free county and that they are willing to follow-up and pursue any lead. “We want to send a message that we will not tolerate it in Rappahannock County,” said the sheriff.

It is overkill.” Piedmont District representative Charles R. “Pete” Estes suggested the supervisors wait to hear from VDOT resident engineer Bob Moore. Hampton District representative Mike Massie suggested the supervisors reject the plan and ask VDOT to develop a $100,000 proposal instead of an $800,000 one. In the end the supervisors voted to reject the proposal and ask Mr. Moore to attend the September meeting. Bob Weinberg, Democratic Party candidate for the 10th Congressional District, also addressed the supervisors. He said he would be proud to represent “the peaTl of the Piedmont” and added he believed his experience practicing law “in the other Washington” had provided him with contacts that would be valuable in seeing that Rappahannock County gets its “fair share” of federal funds whichever party wins the Presidential election. Following an executive session the supervisors voted to spend $2.37 per square foot to purchase land behind the county-owned building used by Ki Theatre. The land is owned by doctors Jerry Martin and Werner Krebser and joins with their property at the Medical Center. County Administrator John McCarthy said the property had not yet been surveyed but they were estimating about 2,000 square feet or about $5,000. The supervisors also voted to pay Culpeper County $50,000 for accept ing trash from Rappahannock County in 1987 during the period when the; private landfill formerly used by the county was closed and before the cur- > rent landfill opened. They expressed “gratitude” to Culpeper in a resolution adopted unanimously. Under the original agreement with Culpeper County, that county was; entitled to put one and a half times as * much trash in Rappahannock’s landfill as Rappahannock put in Culpeper’s if that became necessary. The resolution says Rappahannock “stands ready to assist the County of Culpeper in such similar future crisis; that Culpeper may experience, undei;; such terms and conditions as may Inappropriate at that time.” The board approved a request from School Superintendent David Gangel for an additional appropriation of $10,000 to contract for janitorial services at the high school.

Her. students have been creating mathematical puzzles like the ones in which the solution is to match occupa tions with names and ages. These puzzles, called tanglers, were based on the field trips to the mountains. They deal with such things as the length of trails, the number of acres condemned for the Shenandoah National Park, plants in the park and occupations of the mountain people who lived there before the park was created: They have also been graphing the increase in visitation to the national parks based on the increasing popula tion of the nation and brainstorming solutions to the problems these visitors pose for the parks. “They like the more active things, and they love the field trips,” Ms. Gubler said. “I think they have really learned a lot from the field trips.” Over 200 students applied to be part of tlie program. Ninety were selected and only two failed to attend. Twelve of the students are from Rappahannock. ► Katzen From Page A-l nomination for governor in a primary, and that may hold down voter participation. Del. Katzen is dedicating shoe leather to the campaign. He has been traveling throughout the state talking to voters in organized groups, making stops in hardware stores, barber shops and restaurants, and visiting people in their homes. “It’s knocking on doors where I see more people than I do at these events,” he said, displaying holes on the soles of his shoes. “I stress the importance of the fall election, the need to elect Bob Dole, then I get around to talking about the ‘97 campaign. I ask what issues are on their minds. They mention the economy, education, welfare, crime, transportation and the environment. People are trying to convey to you that they want to insure that the lives of their children will be better than what they feel today it’s going to be.” He said he feels he is more electible than either of his opponents. He will stress the importance of the lieutenant governor in breaking ties in the state Senate and in working on a team with Mr. Gilmore. Del. Katzen is also at a fund-raising disadvantage. He said most of his money comes from contributions from individual citizens and average $40 and from groups that give $1,000. Both the other candidates have greater personal wealth to invest in the campaign. Del. Katzen believes he will be able to raise $500,000 and hopes his campaigning throughout the state will make up the difference. Before the primary, Del.

He stressed that Rappahannock County should not expect a repeat of the current year’s special appropriation to make up for lost state funds for education because of the county’s higher Local Composite Index. He warns “that was a one-shot deal.” He said that as he travels around the state he hears of many needs for any additional state revenue. MARLOW] MOTOR Company 707Comment Am.

By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer It’s getting to be that time of year when com, grown by local farmers, is available at roadside stands in the county. Silver Queen com, the white com which seems to be most people’s favorite, is so plentiful and reasonably priced that it makes sense to buy at least a dozen ears at a time. Local restaurant chefs have shared some of their favorite com recipes so that our readers may enjoy fresh com in many different ways. Many people, however, agree that the best way to enjoy fresh com is this recipe: Put on a large pot of water to boil, pick com and return to kitchen husking as you go. Boil briefly and enjoy! For variety, though, following are some other excellent com recipes: Corn and Barley Risotto Richard Mahan Bleu Rock Inn Note: A traditional Italian risotto uses rice as the basic grain, but Chef Mahan has chosen barley for this . recipe. The entire cooking process takes about a half hour of constant attention at the stove but is well worth it. 1 small onion, minced 1 T- unsalted butter 1 c. barley 2 c. cooked com, cut off the cob 3 c. chicken or veal stock 2 T. heavy cream Gallery Show Enjoyable By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer • “Of The Land By The Hand,” a juried show of fine aits created of Iwood and fiber, at the Middle Street Gallery for August, is one of the most refreshingly aesthetic experiences I ; have encountered. First prize went to Edward D. Luebke of Washington for his walnut, cherry and cedar “Hope Chest.” Its iragrance fills the gallery. It is beautiful to look at and its utilitarian design •would encourage anyone to want to tyke it home. All of the handmade paper pieces, three by Bo Breda of Murphysboro, •HI. and Nina Moore of Sperryville, excel with their textures and colors. Nina’s color combinations are subtle, encouraging study, and Bo’s “Moon” images, while not suggestive to me of a; moon, are appealing in a tactile sense and well designed. ; Everything in the exhibition is attractive and individual. No wonder the judges said it was difficult for Ihem to make awards. Geoffrey Wilkes’ “Ghost Vessel Series,” wooden vases made to look like pottery or porcelain are classically shaped pieces reminiscent of the best of our native American ceramics. I was gratified that the judges selected this West Virginia artist’s “Storage Jar #2” for third prize, since one can award only one first prize. The pieces of furniture made by Pres Nowlin, Craig Landrum and Stephen R. La Drew were appealing in part owing to their modest proportions. Elegance is easier to achieve with a ■small rather than with a large, perhaps “superhuman,” piece of furniture. However, a principal attraction of these men’s works lies in the beautiful woods they are made of and their fine finishes. Especially noteworthy in Pres Nowlin’s “Octagonal Stand 21” where Walnut burl veneer makes a surprising design in the table’s top. Mr. Nowlin is from Charlottesville. The judges awarded Stephen La Drew’s “Sideboard” second prize. I could not tell how they chose that over his “Wine Cabinet,” a wall hung piece of grace as well as utility. Mr. La Drew’s use of exotic Brazilian woods makes his sideboard uniquely decorative. The almost art nouveau style of this piece is in stark contrast to Craig Landrum’s “Penn. Spice Chest” which is of colonial design and could as easily be used as a silver chest or a jewelry box. The old fashioned touch of initials and a date on the cabinet’s interior face, together with the brass lock, key and hinges make it a treasure as much as it is a treasure box. Craig Landrum is from Flint Hill and Mr. La . Drew is from Middletown. Fourth prize was awarded to Chris Stephens “Sunset,” a wooden basrelief scene of a house on a hill set in a beautifully painted frame. This “world in little” provokes nostalgia but isn’t sentimental. Everywhere one looks there is something to engage your eye, including Gary Colson’s “Arbor Ball.” Mr. Colson lives in Culpeper. The fine craftsmanship employed in all the works by the five other artists, Jene Laman, of San Marcos, Texas, Susan Lightcap of Asheville, N.C., Wendy O. Pierce of Gainesville, Sandra Burton of Culpeper and B.J. Harlan of Linden, whose works I have not mentioned, will please a viewer as much as those I have commented on. Wit and ingenious artistry are liberally on display at this joyous celebration of talent and inspiration.' The exhibition lasts till August 25. Public House To Display Art Three artists will exhibit their work at The Flint Hill Public House from August 18 until September 2. To kick off the show, guests are invited to a reception for the artists during brunch from 11 a.m. u'ntil 3 p.m., on Sunday, August 18. Weather permitting, the deck will be open, with beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the gardens in full bloom. Rex K. Slack of Washington will exhibit his “Americana Miniatures” and silhouette sculptures for the garden. On display in the garden will be lawn furniture made by Kevin A. Smith of Leesburg and marble garden sculpture by Gordon Bennett of Vienna. Works will be on display inside •and outside so guests are invited to i stroll the house and gardens. The show is being produced by special events coordinator John Cloud, owner of Experience the Magic adventure getaways. Proprietors Denise and John Pearson enjoy offering The Flint Hill Public House as a setting for the art exhibits. Their food ranges from a sophisticated, hearty country brunch and pub food to classic prime rib alongside contemporary American presentations. There is a long list of microbrews, single malt scotches, single-barrel bourbons and a wine list recognized by Wine Spectator magazine just last year. For information and reservations, call 675-1700. .InformatiQn about each artist will also be on hand in the main hallway for the duration o> the show. 2 T. basil, chiffonaded (sliced into long thin strips) 2 T. diced sun-dried tomato Bring the stock just to a boil and leave simmering in a pot on the stove.

Lynch To Play at Windmore The Windmore Foundation for the Arts is presenting Claire Lynch and the Front Porch String Band at the Windmore Cultural Centre Amphitheatre, on Saturday, August 24, 1996. Special guest Cross Creek will open at 6 p.m. with Claire Lynch and the Front Porch String Band performing at 6:45 p.m. The Boston Glqbe says “Claire Lynch is a real singer’s singer, one of the most respected vocalists in Nashville.” Mrs. Lynch sings all of her repertoire in a bright, clear alto reminiscent of Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. Her writing ranges from the working mother’s lament of “Moonlighter” to the old-time gospel cadences of “Children of Abraham.” Mrs. Lynch has written tunes for Kathy Mattea and Patty Loveless as well as singing harmonies with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt. Linda Ronstadt has said, “Claire Lynch is a rare talent indeed. She has a beautiful effervescent voice which can handle both contemporary and traditional country musics with complete authenticity. I love to listen to her and I love to sing with her.” Front Porch Band consists of Mrs. Lynch and her husband Larry Lynch, along with Nashville musicians Kenny Smith on flat-top guitar, Michael McClain on Banjo and Missy Raines on upright bass. Effectively combining bluegrass and aco.ustic-based country numbers, Moonlighter showcases Mrs. Lynch as possibly the next female from the grass world to crack the country market. Gates will open at 4:30 p.m. for those who want to enjoy a picnic or purchase food from Mountain View Market Concession. In case of rain the performance will be at the Culpeper County High School. Adult tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the gate. Tickets for those 18 and younger are $5. Tickets may be purchased in Culpeper at Old Dominion One Hour Photo-Dominion Square and Meadowbrook Plaza; The Corner Shelf at Southgate Shopping Center or on Main Street at Culpeper Music and The Book Worm or in Warrenton at BJ’s Bookstore. For further information call 547-2555. Mummies Coming The Ululating Mummies are cqitiing to Warrenton and Andrew Roblin and the Pocono Mountain Men to Culpeper and Luray for this weekend’s Bluemont Concerts. The Ululating Mummies will perform at the Warren Green in downtown Warrenton starting at 7:30 ,p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10. Andrew Roblin and the Pocono Mountain Men will be at the Inn Lawn Park in Luray starting at 7:30 on Saturday, Aug. 10, and on the old courthouse lawn in Culpeper, starting at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 11. All Bluemont Concerts cost $3. Plan to bring a lawn chair or a blanket. Homemade refreshments will be available during the evening prepared by local non profit organizations as their own fund raisers. In • case of bad weather the Warrenton concert moves into the Warrenton Middle School auditorium; the Culpeper concert moves into the Culpeper County High School auditorium, and the Luray concert moves into the Luray High School auditorium. If Dr. Seuss had created a dance band, it might well have looked and sounded like the Ululating Mummies. Richmond's famed underground band, the Mummies are a bit difficult to describe. This dance band from the galaxies has musical roots in Reggae, jazz, Latin, African, Appalachian, Irish, Balkan and Icelandic music. The Mummies’ performances are generally theatrical and festive events combining an unusual mix of music, fashion and comedy. The band’s “one world” vision permeates their music and their concerts with a cheerful blend of props, ideas, instruments and lively music from nearly everywhere on earth. Andrew Roblin plays the banjo, sings and is generally known for talent and genial performances. Minnie* Pearl said he was “good enough for the Grand Ole Oprey.” He performs solo on banjo, guitar, mandolin, hammered dulcimer and jaw harp with engaging songs and stories from the American and Canadian folk-bluegrass traditions. Add to this the Pocono Mountain Men, with Rick Starkey on guitar and vocals and Scott Eager on mandolin and vocals, for a more contemporary .bluegrass sound. This is the final concert in the season for Culpeper and Luray. The Warrenton concerts will continue for two more weeks. Duo To Entertain Children - What’s ten feet nine inches tall, "can rope buffalo and packs more fun into an hour than a day at FAO Schwartz? Give up? It’s the singing team of Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer. Together, they’ve, been delighting children and their parents with their concerts since 1981. They will bring their music and entertainment to the Fauquier County Library at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20. These remarkable entertainers have managed to blend elements of music and comedy, instrument making, history lessons and trick roping into one of the most contagiously high-spirited children’s and family shows around. Cathy and Marcy were interactive long before "interactive” was buzz word. This year, Community Music releases the new Song Shop videos, a series of Cathy and Marcy family concert videos. "Yodel-Ay-Hee-Hoo!" and “Is Not, Is Too!” include many favorites from the award-winning recordings “Air Guitar” and “Collection For Kids,” plus new songs, and this spring, Rounder Records will release the all-new “Blanket Full of Dreams,” a collection of original Cathy and Marcy lullabies. Cathy and Marcy accompany themselves on hammered dulcimer, steel drums, five string banjo, electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin, spoons and a variety of other instruments. Marcy’s cowgirl rope tricks add to the uniqueness of the show. Play ‘‘Air Guitar” with the whole audience, become a graduate of the Cathy and Marcy School of Clapping Techniques, leam to yodel, sing the Alphabet Boogie backwards or leam American Sign Language to “Take Good Care of Each Other.” A Cathy and Marcy conceit is a musical experience that will make a lasting impression.

Fresh Tomatoes Are a Colorful Summer Favorite n By HELEN SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Fresh tomatoes belong to one of the most colorful and varied of the basic food groups: fruits and vegetables. And their nutritional offerings are as sweet as their flavorful aromas. A medium-size tomato contains ■ 35 calories. For the very modest amount of energy, tomatoes provide 40 percent of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C and 20 percent of the Vitamin A allowance. They are also a cholesterol free, food very low in sodium (only 10 milligrams.) That’s a real plus for those on special diets. Tomato Equivalents Three to four medium tomatoes weigh about one pound. One pound of fresh tomatoes, peeled and diced and seeded, will yield about 1 1/2 cups pulp. Here are a variety of recipes for using fresh tomatoes this summer: Delightful Stuffed Tomatoes Serves: 6 6 firm, ripe tomatoes slat to taste > 1 medium green pepper, chopped 1 small onion, chopped 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese 1 cup cooked rice 1 well-beaten egg 1/4 teaspoon dried whole oregano 1/4 teaspoon dried whole basil 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled parsley Cut a slice from top of each tomato. Scoop out pulp, leaving shells intact and reserving pulp. HOME ECONOMICS Sprinkle inside of tomato shell lightly with salt. Invert to drain. Chop tomato pulp. Saute green pepper and onion in butter. Add tomato pulp and all remaining ingredients except parsley. Stir well. Spoon mixture into tomato shells. Place in a shallow baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Garnish with parsley. Fresh Tomato Pie Serves: 6 1 9-inch pie shell, baked and cooled 2 to 3 large tomatoes, peeled and sliced 2 to 3 large green onions, chopped slat and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped 1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, grated Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and drain on a cake rack for 15 to 20 minutes.

BALDWIN Rappahannock Contributing Writer Since Mrs. Ethel Tyner returned from wintering with her son in Palmyra, I’ve tried to visit her, if possible, once a week or at least every two weeks. Seeing her at church every two weeks just doesn’t seem enough. How I love this dear lady. We talk, mostly she talks and I listen, and I try to record what she says, especially when certain subjects are brought up. She’s always jolly, seldom complains and is ever ready to receive a visitor. Living alone at one hundred plus years can not be but lonely when no one visits. When I visit I like to take her out for lunch. We usually go to the Appetite Repair Shop in downtown Sperryville. Although, it’s always a little cool for her, the front step a little too high, and maybe the music somewhat loud for a hearing impaired person, we make out very well. She can’t see good enough to read the menu so I’ll tell her what’s on and also check the specials, then she decides. We order. Coffee is usually our beverage of choice and I’ll “fix” Ethel’s for her. Most often we are joined and share our company with our friend and cousin, Sally Keyser. this thing is really becoming a ritual. On Monday, July 29th, we were there again. I’d not been able to visit the previous week. When we arrived we notice that the Sheriff, Gary settle, was there dining. After Ethel chose a table we asked if she’d like to meet the new sheriff or better he could come over to meet her. I’m sure he overheard us as we have to talk a little loud so Ethel can hear. There were other diners there too whom, I’m sure, would rather we kept it down a little, but no one said anything. We made our selections but did not see our favorite dessert, blackberry cobbler, on the list I asked our waitress who told us it was just com ing out of the oven. Great! Momentarily, the sheriff did in fact come over to our table to shake hands and speak with Mrs. Tyner. Taking time out of his schedule which includes many horrible and boring duties. Now, how nice I thought, to come and speak to one of Rappahannock’s oldest citizens, out of respect, not duty, in uniform, but sincere. As it would happen neither Sally or myself had a camera. We were now ready for our dessert. Ethel “saved” room for the cobbler, doggy bagging the remainder of her burger. Our waitress told us that the two ladies (who had now gone) who’d been sitting next to us had already paid for Ethel’s dessert! For fear of shedding a tear of joy, I swallowed hard. Can you believe it? There is still some decency left in the world. Strangers, whom none of .us knew, bought this dear old stranger to them, dessert. ^Whoever you all were and wherever you were from, thank you. Thank you for showing that there is still some kindness, some hint of respect left. Then upon returning Ethel home, • Cousin Ruby Dwyer was there. She’d gone to have a prescription refilled for Mrs. Tyner. Ruby then checked the ash box of the cook stove and carried them out. So, all of us can do something. AD.. of us have a different approach to it, but whether a person is ancient or young we can all show more respect, be more courteous and kind. Not only to our family and friends but to our neighbors. For who are our neighbors? Are they • not those who may be in need? These acts of respect, kindness and courtesy are still alive and well as witnessed by this writer, if not everywhere, at least in Rappahannock. With all the bad things that pelt us daily on the air waves or in the papers, isn’t it wonderful to know, there is still some good thing to be heard. Greater Piedmont Area Maps Available .

Garden Sumac in Home Landscaping fm WBfS! REAL ESTATE DIRECTORY M '$ v - By DR. DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist Both native and exotic varieties of sumac can be used in landscape plantings. Because they are commonly found along highways and in deserted fields, people often do not consider their value for the landscape. Most are members of the genus Rhus, and are different from poison sumac. Toxicodendron vemix. Thus species do not produce the oils know to cause allergic reaction like poisop sumac or poison ivy. Garden sumacs grow under conditions that are normally too stressful for other plants and can be used more often in the home landscape. Sumac Offers Variety of Colors Through Seasons Sumac Shrubs vary in heights with divided, lace-like foliage that is glossy green in summer and brilliant red, wine, and gold in fall. Tiny, green-white flowers are borne in, pyramid-shaped flower clusters that ripen into showy clusters of scarlet berries in the fall. These fruits stay on the shrubs throughout the winter, adding to the winder landscape. Sumacs bear male and female flowers on different plants. For good fruit displays, be sure to plant female and male sumacs near each other. • Most sumacs grow well in urban conditions and tolerate heavy, clay soils. Sumacs produce suckers and spread, creating large masses that can fill banks, areas stripped of topsoil, or other tough sites, but can create work in a small landscape with limited space. Most sumacs are hardy throughout the Southeast U.S., from the coast to the mountains. Most wen-Known sumac Resembles Deer Antlers The most well-known sumac is Thus typhina (staghorn sumac). Its branches resemble deer antlers. Staghorn sumac reaches 25 feet in height at maturity with an equal spread. It is not as tolerant of poorly drained soils as other sumacs. Two. cultivars of this sumac, “Laciniata” and “Dissecta,” have heavily divided leaflets, giving the foliage a femlike appearance. Both cultivars are female plants that have good fall color. Rhus aromatica (Fragrant sumac) has become naturalized throughout the eastern half of .the U.S. This sumac is a low-growing shrub, reaching 5 to 6 feet in height at maturity with an equal spread. Its foliage is dark green and glossy. Cultivars include “Grow Low” ( a low, spreading plant) and “Green Globe” (a dense, rounded shrub). Fragrant sumac has bright-yellow flowers in the spring. Native to southern areas in Rhus glabra (smooth sumac). It is similar to staghorn sumac and has good fall color. A cultivar of smooth sumac called “Laciniata” is very similar to the staghorn “Laciniata.” Some Large Sumacs Can Overwhelm Small Sites Rhus copallina (shining or flame leaf sumac) also is a native and probably is the largest, most vigorous of the sumacs. In the South, it can reach 30 feet in height, becoming spreading Video-Discussion Series Scheduled The IRIS Centre for Shamanic Studies will present its Summer Video-Discussion Series every third Tuesday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Centre at 325-B Middle Street in Washington. The fee for each evening is $5. Please call the IRIS Centre to register and for further information, 675-3003.

Branching on older plants is very interesting. This sumac forms large, spreading colonies and should not be used on small sites. It has carmine fall color. Rhus chinensis (Chinese sumac) is native to China and Japan. It is not as spreading as other sumacs. It forms a large, rounded reaching 25 feet in height at maturity with a spread of 15 feet. Other sumacs bloom in spring, but Chinese sumac blooms in late summer to early fall. Small,.white flowers are borne on large panicles. “September Beauty” is a cultivar with large flower clusters. Sumacs offer summer beauty and fall color, along winter interest even in difficult landscapes.
