Warner, Wolf Carry Rappahannoll By SHARON KILPATRICK And CINDY MAHAN Rappbannock Newt Staff Writers • Bob Dole carried Rappahannock County garnering 47.3 percent of the 3,180 votes cast. President Clinton, while coasting to reelection in the 'nation, had 44.2 percent of the Presidential vote in the county. Dole had precisely 100 more votes than Clinton in Rappahannock County. Ross Perot had 6.7 percent, and other candidates had 1.8 percent. About 80.4 percent of Rappahannock's eligible voters cast ballots Tuesday in the presidential election. This was down from the 88 percent who voted in the election of 1992, the last presidential election. In the race for the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. John Warner, the senator carried the county with 53.4 percent of the vote to Mark Warner's 46.3 per cent. County voters had a field day casting write-in votes for this seat. In Flint Hill Shelly Tamares had three write-in votes. In Sperryville Oliver North had one vote and "Baby Doe" had another. Baby Doe is presumably the daughter of John and Jane Doe, according to Electoral Board member Sheilah Sweet, who stayed in the registrar’s office throughout the night waiting for results to come in and reporting them to the Rappahannock News. In Washington Marshall Coleman and Walter Longyear each had one vote. Amissville had single write-in votes cast for J.J. Barron, Eddie Barron and Graham Hackley.' In Scrabble David Konick had a write-in vote for the U.S. Senate. In the race for the 10th District seat in the House of Representatives, Rep. Frank Wolf had an easy victory with over 70 percent of the vote districtwide. joint Hunt Meet The visiting Woodford Hounds from Kentucky left on a fox hunt from the Conyers House on the Slate Mills Road Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan early last Friday morning with riders on horseback from the Rappahannock and Bull Run Hunts. / .....'_„ ' . T ‘tl. U Write-in Votes Populai In US. Senate Race 1 but in Rappahannock County, the new home of Rep. Wolfs Democratic challenger Bob Weinberg, Mr. Wolf carried the county, but by a much narrower margin. Rep. Wolf had 57.3 percent of the vote to Mr. Weinberg's 40.1 percent. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Reams had 2.6 percent. With 33 percent of the vote in and 73 percent of that going to Frank Wolf, Mr. Weinberg was ready to concede that he had lost but still hoped he would carry the county. Shortly before 10 p.m. he issued a statement from his local campaign headquarters in the "Old Rectory" on Main Street in Washington. "Two years ago the Democratic vote in the 10th district was zero. We ran no candidate and gave the voters no choice," Mr. Weinberg said. "For the last six months I have been going to 11 counties stating the importance of every one voting. No vote is lost except the one that is not cast. Every vote that is cast sends a message from that voter. I expect by the time the totals are in tonight many thousands will have sent a message that they do not approve of the pro-Gingrich voting record of Frank Wolf and that they support the progressive policies supported by President Bill Clinton and [me]. "I also think the very high percentage are voters who turned out in Rappahannock County, and I expect that once we have the figures this will be true of the entire district, ... is a tribute to the civic spirit of Rappahannock County and all the counties -that achieve , a similar and overwhelming turnout. "I want to thank the media of this county and this district which have given extensive coverage to the issues in this race and thus made it possible for the voters to make a choice on the issues, despite the overwhelming financial advantage of the incumbent, who can and does raise large sums from vested interests and utilizes taxpayer provided resources for purposes of promoting his reelection campaign^ "There is no more important task before the 105th Congress than funda- v mental reform of our campaign finance laws. I will work in whatever way I can to help achieve that long overdue reform." Among the 58 local votes cast for presidential candidates other than Dole; Clinton and Perot, the Libertarian Party candidate Harry Browne had 35 votes, two each from Chester Gap and Amissville, seven each from Washington andl Sperryvi He, nine from Flint Hill and eight from Scrabble. Natural Layi Party candidate John Hagelin was next with 14 votes, one each in Chester Gap and Washington, seven in Sperryville and five in Scrabble Virginia Taxpayers Party candidate Howard Phillips had nine votes, V/i’6 each in Chester Gap and Flint Hill? one each in Sperryville and Amissville and three in Washington. ' President Clinton did better in the county than he did four years ago when he garnered only 40.2 percent of the vote. However, Bob Dole also did better than former President George Bush did in that election. In 1992, Bush got 44.5 percent of the vote. This pick up for both the Republican and Democratic party candidates came at . the expense of Ross Perot whose share of the vote dropped from 15.3 percent in 1992 to less than 7 percent in 19%. Four of the five amendments to the Virginia Constitution passed easily in the county, but the fifth, which would have allowed churches and other religious organizations "to incorporate, failed. This result seems to have been typical of the state as a whole. « Actually only five of the six precincts in the county reported figures for the constitutional amend? ments. In Sperryville the votes weiE counted, but the results were sealed tip with the ballots in a bag that could not be opened until Wednesday momingi See voting box page A-6. : Festive Mood Prevails at Party By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Stiff Writer The mood at the Bob Weinberg for Congress campaign headquarters in Washington on Tuesday night was one of hope. Fellow Democrats and friends poured into the headquarters all evening, eager to hear results of elections in Virginia and throughout the country. Though the number of votes for Mr. Weinberg came in far lower than those for Republican incumbent Frank Wolf, the group of Democratic supporters remained in an up mood, especially when ABC declared President Bill Clinton the winner. Everyone applauded. When it was reported that Senator John Warner had been declared the winner over Mark Warner, the whole group moaned, saying "Ohhhh." Some people watched in the living room, some circled around a television upstairs, and others visited in the dining room, feasting on lasagna and French bread, or snacking on cheese and crackers. The Weinbergs' dogs. Zephyr and Sandy, waited patiently around the dining room for morsels to drop to the floor for them. All they knew was that a party was going on and they were invited.

Brian Duncan, executive director of the Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board (CSB) toured the facility Monday afternoon and said he is willing to sign the lease for the use of the building. Michael Soule, senior advocate with the CSB, gave him the tour and brought him up to date on the many donations of time, materials and money, the project has received. The seniors committee met last Friday at the new site and made plans for a "Thank You" party at the new location for Friday, Nov. 15. A "Grand Opening" planned for Nov. 27, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, may have to be rescheduled because the Community Services Board will be closing at noon that day for Thanksgiving vacation and all of the vans needs to be back in Culpeper by that time. Mr. Duncan told Mr. Soule the Front Royal Moose Lodge was planning to have a Bingo night for the new senior center because many of its members are glad to see the old school being used. Several of them attended school there, he said. Mr. Duncan went from the old school to meet with CSB board member Aline Johnson and attend the supervisors meeting. There Joy Sloane asked him and Mrs. Johnson why all the other senior nutrition sites in the planning district See Seniors, Page A-6 Unofficial Election Results Presidential Clinton/ Dole/ Perot/ Others Gore Kemp Choate Amissville Chester Gap Flint Hill Scrabble Sperryville Washington Countywida 239 350 81 111 229 199 272 308 288 252 296 285 1405 1505 44 3 22 5 27 11 35 13 48 15 37 11 213 58 Senate Mark John Warner Warner 272 357 106 119 ^ 2t4 %48' v‘; ' 287 341 287 302 299 • -324— 1465 1681 House Bob Frank Gary Weinberg Wolf Reams 201 400 13 56 159 < 8 175 253 16 258 342 18 236 313 18 308 299 6 1234 1766 79 Tea Party Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Friends of the Library president Ed Barton and volunteer Elizabeth Johnson were among those honored at a tea given by the members of the Library Board.

Wade announced on Monday. He noted that this is the 18th year that this closure has been undertaken and that it reduces illegal hunting activity within the Park, a sanctuary for wildlife, during the commonwealth's hunting season outside the park. From November 10, 1996, through January 5, 1997, the northern and southern sections of the Skyline Drive will be closed daily between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. That includes the section between Front Royal (Mile 0 at l).S. 340) and Thornton Gap (Mile 31 at U.S. 211) and the section between Swift Run Gap (Mile 65 at U.S. 33) and Rockfish Gap (Mile 105 at U.S. 250). The central portion of the Skyline Drive, between Thornton Gap and Swift Run Gap, will remain open for overnight access to Skyland Lodge. Supt. Wade said, "By closing portions of the Skyline Drive, rangers will be able to concentrate patrols on problem areas and increase hunter contacts along the Park boundary." Supt. Wade also reminded the public that the park has a reward program to assist in combating illegal hunting in the park. "A reward will be paid to anyone who furnishes information which leads to the conviction of any person who hunts, transports, or attempts to transpoh illegally taken wildlife within the park,” he said. Anyone with information about such activities should call the nearest Ranger Station or Park Headquarters, toll free at (800) 732-0911; or (540) 999-2227. The identity of persons furnishing information will be kept strictly confidential, and a person does not have to reveal his or her name.

Chinese Sample Hospitality .Kurt Campbell wears two hats — on# as a Rappahannock weekend farmer, the other as assistant secretary of defense for Asian affairs. It was in both capacities he hosted a visit here recently for top level Chinese and U.S. officials and shared with them all the beauty and bounty of Rappahannock County. Jt was a historically significant day, Mr. Campbell said, as seriior U.S. defense officials and top Chinese military attaches gathered here on the last Saturday of October for a planning session that would kick off a series of "very high level meetings at the highest level of both governments" in the next few weeks. "This was an important day as we tried to build relations with our Chinese friends and the Middleton Inn provided us with fantastic hospitality. It was the right kind of atmosphere," he said. The Middleton Inn was the site of an afternoon tea Mr. Campbell hosted with other senior defense officials for the visiting diplomats. Among those present were General Chen Kaizeng, defense attache. People's Republic of China; minister Zhou Wenzhang, deputy chief of mission, People's Republic of China and General Randy House, military assistant to the Secretary of Defense. ^ The inn's proprietor, Mary Ann Kuhn, enlisted help from friends in the Blue Moon Cafe Proudly presents The Acoustic Sounds of Warren Phinney Saturday, November 9 9 p.m. U.S. 211 west of Sperryville, next to Mountainside Market Daily Specials Now Available. 540-987-3170 area for the tea party. Carolyn Emerick made four dozen of. her well-liked chocolate chip cookies while artist Tanya Richey poured tea from an antique silver tea set. Karen Flynn helped serve miniature raspberry tarts and other baked goods to the diplomats. It was that kind of day — with the Chinese diplomats meeting local residents and enjoying the hospitality Rappahannock has to offer. After arriving at Mr. Campbell's 20-acre Civil War farm, the Chinese delegation lunched on local produce provided by the U.S. guests and homemade dumplings made by the chef from the Chinese Embassy. The Americans explained to their Chinese guests the meaning of the Halloween holiday and together the group divided into joint U.S.-Chinese teams to have a pumpkin carving contest. Dr. William Young, who is a friend of Mr. Campbell's, was the judge of the contest. There were awards of Halloween candy for the winners. Lorraine Espinola and her children provided a musical perf ormance for the guests. Afterwards, the U.S.-Chinese delegation went apple picking at a local orchard, and when they arrived at the Middleton Inn, the U.S. officials showed their Chinese guests how to feed apples to the inn's horses.

This clears the way for the senior nutrition site to be moved into the former Washington School, although the council was prepared to allow the move before the amendment was adopted. The town Planning Commission considered an amendment that would have also allowed adaptive reuse for "retail shops, arts and craft galleries, offices restaurants, inns, bed and breakfast, theaters and multi-family uses," but decided to restrict the amendment to public and "quasi-public" uses. The more permissive amendment was modeled after uses allowed in the county's Zoning Ordinance. The Town Council then voted unanimously to go along with the Planning Commission's recommendation. Such uses are allowed when the present or "historical use, is impractical due to the structure's size, construction, or location." The amended ordinance forbids any "major addition" to the structure and requires that "the exterior appearance of the structure shall be substantially maintained.” The council also voted to add seven more street lights, particularly along the entrances to town from the Fodderstack Road, Warren Avenue and Piedmont Avenue. Council members could not agree on whether to have lines repainted along Business 211, which was recently repaved. Mayor Stewart Willis said if the road is painted the council would have no choice; the street would have white lines on the sides and yellow in the middle. He said if the council does not want the lines repainted it should vote to send a letter saying so to VDOT. "The more you make the road look like a highway, the faster people will drive," member Ray Gooch said. On the other hand member Peter Skowronski wondered how blame for "fender bender" auto accidents would be determined if there was nothing to show which driver is on the wrong side of the road. ”1 think it's a big mistake not to line the road," he said. Vice mayor Steve Critzer said having lines would help with parking because they would clearly indicate when the car is parked in the roadway. Mayor Willis said a decision will be put off until the November meeting- ingCouncil asked Mr. Critzer to bring cost estimates for five of the improvements to the water system he recommended. Mayor Willis said there will be a series of talks on the town's history starting in November as part of the bicentennial celebration. Former mayor Dorothy Davis will talk about the Town Council in the 50s. Retired Judge Rayner Snead will talk about the town in the 40s. Clerk Diane Bruce will discuss records in her office, and Douglas Baumgardner will talk about a famous court case in the 1850s. Clinton, Dole Tie at RCHS President Bill Clinton and his Republican challenger Bob Dole came out in a tie in a mock election held at the county high school last Wednesday. All students and staff were eligible to vote, but the turnout was poor. Only 187, or about 45 percent of those eligible bothered to vote. The student percentage was 42 percent voting. For the staff 73 percent voted. Polls were open from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with U.S. Government students manning the polls. Clinton and Dole each got 80 votes. Ross Perot got 18 votes. Libertarian Harry Browne got three votes. Natural Law party nominee John Hagelin got one vote. In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent John Warner defeated his Democratic Party challenger Mark Warner 89 to 82. The race for the House of Representatives was a runaway with incumbent Frank Wolf getting 125 votes to 34 for Bob Weinberg and eight for Libertarian Party nominee Gary Reams. Voters were also asked about issues: "Fighting crime and violence in our schools" was important to RCHS voters as was balancing the federal budget and universal government provided health insurance. Students ,and staff voted by district. President Clinton and senate candidate Mark Warner carried Hampton and Stonewall-Hawthom districts and the precinct labeled "other” for those students and staff who come to school from outside Rappahannock County. Former Sen. Bob Dole and Sen. John Warner carried Piedmont, Jackson and Wakefield districts. The RCHS mock election was part of a nationwide high school mock election sponsored by Tune and CNN News. In Virginia the VCU Virginia Institute for Law and Citizenship organized the vote which was carried live on CNN. Government teacher Jeanne Grimes said that that institute sent lots of materials to help with the election and has provided a wealth of material for government classes generally.

Americans generally hope the spirit of cooperation that prevailed in the past Congress during the last year will return, rather than the nasty partisan wrangling that characterized the first year of the 104th Congress. Locally something must be done to relieve the election workers. Having to count thousands of ballots after spending nearly 14 hours handling the actual vote is simply too much to ask of people. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find people willing to take on this duty. Fewer and fewer precincts in the state have paper ballots. If Rappahannock can be an exception to the rule that precincts with over 750 voters must have voting machines, perhaps the county can also be an exception to the rule that the same people who supervise the election itself have to do the counting. . If such a change is not possible and the county wishes to continue with paper ballots, more of the precincts need to be divided. The ' Castleton Fire Hall and the two schools are possible locations for extra precincts. Someone needs to come up with a suggestion for an additional precinct location in Jackson District. Senior Center At long last the senior nutrition site will move into the former Washington School on Monday. An incredible spirit of volunteerism made this possible. The committee that spearheaued first the search for a suitable place and then readying it for use deserves thanks from all of us. In the meantime the Community Services Board, which is responsible for the nutrition program, is coming under increasing attack. The board is attempting to get permission from the boards of supervisors in the planning district to borrow up to $2.1 million for central office headquarters and a commercial kitchen. Executive director Brian Duncan made a convincing case before the supervisors Monday that this makes sense. It will cost no more than the CSB is presently paying for rent, and it will save on the cost of meals. . However, to many in Rappahannock County the notion that a board which feels it cannot afford more than three meals a week for Rappahannock seniors, can afford either $2.1 million for a building or $150,000 a year in rent seems strange. It may well be true that Rappahannock County is getting more than its share, from the Community Services Board as county representative Aline Johnson claims. Certainly there are other services of the board that benefit county citizens, and the Rappahannock News will be looking into those in the future. However, now is the time to rejoice that Rappahannock's seniors finally have a place to call their own that is accessible to all of them. iS- ' \ * ■■ ■■ ' v • -n % >' .

After hiking the Little Devil’s Staircase trail in the Park Sunday afternoon, my wife and I were driving home when I ran off the road and got stuck. , In the next five or 10 minutes, no less than eight cars stopped by to ask if we needed help. We were plucked out of the ditch by a man with a white truck who identified himself as Daniel Pullen. Mr. Pullen and his companion refused to take any money for their good deed; in fact, they seemed to be genuinely embarrassed when I offered to pay them.

KILPATRICK .Now and then I hear from Hopeful Writer: "I’m enclosing the first three chapters of my novel. Would you read them and give me a few tips? And could you direct me to a good agent?" To which I reply that I have never even met a literary agent, that the art of writing fiction is an art that eludes me, and that I wish the author good luck in finding a publisher. Cordially yours. Instead of that unhelpful response, I recently have discovered a better reply: "Read the novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald," I should say to an aspiring writer, "and profit from his example." The centennial anniversary of Fitzgerald's birth fell on Sept. 24. Marking the occasion, Scribner's republished four of Fitzgerald's five novels. I ordered the set and dived at once into "The Great Gatsby." Then came "This Side of Paradise," followed by "Tender Is the Night." Fitzgerald's unfinished "The Last Tycoon" is at hand, and soon I will catch up with "The Beautiful and Damned." Lord bless us, how that man could write! I never used to think so. If memory serves, T met Fitzgerald for the first time in a Survey of American Lit course almost 60 years ago. The class read "Gatsby," but the experience left no impression on the hard clay of this undergraduate mind. In the ensuing years, if I thought of Fitzgerald at all, I thought him a second-rater. No more. In the first chapter of "Gatsby," Fitzgerald lays the-groundwork of his plot, introduces three of the four principal characters, and sets the scene of Long Island in the early 1920s. The opening chapter runs to a scant 22 pages, but for descriptive writing it is hard to beat. , Of the mysterious Gatsby we learn that "there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes 10,000 miles away." We move a mile or so to the home of Tom and Daisy Buchanan. "They had spent a year in France for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there unrestfully wherever people played polo and were rich together." In a half a dozen pages Fitzgerald etches the . empty lives of hollow men, their time, their place, their Long Island manors. "Tender Is the Night" appeared in 1934. The story of Dick and Nicole Diver is autobiography, thinly disguised. The fictional Dr. Diver is sliding into alcoholism, the fictional Nicole is drifting into madness. Once again, the first few pages offer a textbook for writers. At a hotel high above the Mediterranean they look down at "the bright tan prayer rug of a beach" below. Fitzgerald captures the changing hues of "a seas as mysteriously colored as the agates and cornelians of childhood, blue as laundry water, wine dark." The shafts of simile and metaphor illuminate an unfolding story of Dick and Nicole and the tempting teenaged morsel known as Rosemary. Weak and briefly penitent, Dick finds himself "wishing he had always been as good as he had intended to be." The Divers' marriage slowly erodes: "There was little they dared talk about in these days; seldom did they find the right word when it counted, it arrived always a moment too late when one could not reach the other any. more." A knowledgeable critic of novels doubtless could pick over the Fitzgerald canon and find palpable flaws. The narrative flow is episodic; some incidents seem contrived and implausible, but for me, at least, the quality of his writing redeems the imperfections of his plots. He had the gift of a camera eye. which looks at people and things, and remembers. Fitzgerald died too young, wom out by drink and by the stress of his marriage. Edna St. Vincent Millay's familiar quatrain could sum up the life of this brief comet. He burned his candle at both ends; it did not last the night, but while it burned, my foes and friends, it gave a lovely light.

SPORTS Winter Teams Begin Practice ! Most practices for winter sports Will get underway next Monday, but the new junior varsity wrestlers are already practicing. ( Coached by Paul Paratore assisted b^ Jon Heddleston, 22 boys have come obt for wrestling. 4 For the past two years Mr. Pferatore and Mr. Heddleston have wjorked with a youth wrestling progfam. The first year the boys had to go to Culpeper to practice at the high school on Saturdays. Over the summer f^nds were raised to buy a wrestling mat, and last winter, practices were held two days a week at the elemen tary school. This year the program becomes a junior varsity sport with the idea that next year it can be a varsity sport. The more traditional winter sports, boys' basketball and girls' volleyball, have mostly returning coaches. Eugene Baltimore will again coach the boys' varsity, while Jason Gochenour will be coaching the junior varsity. Reed Gillespie returns as the Junior Panther coach. Laura Conklin will again coach the varsity volleyball team with Heidi Maeyer coaching the junior varsity. She will be joined by Leslie Nichols as co-coach. Both young women played volleyball for RCHS as high schoolers. Depending on how many girls turn out, the school is hoping to have both varsity and junior varsity cheerleading. Angie Clark and Cyndi Welch will be sponsoring cheerleading. The fall sports season is not quite over. Besides the three runners from the cross country teams competing at the state level Saturday, the girls' varsity basketball team still has a Bull Run District tournament to play in. They will face either Brentsville or George Mason Thursday.

Rappahannock's Jacob Dodson shut down Warrenton in the first inning. Jacob struck out one and had good defensive plays from Jason Jenkins and Nick Raiford to close the inning. In the second inning the umpires began to assert their authority and we went flatter than day old Coke. 1 Again we were our own biggest enemy by letting outside influences affect our mental attitude. We started chasing bad pitches early and put ourselves in a big hole. We started hitting the ball in the fifth and sixth innings, but it was too late at that point. Jacob Dodson led the hitting attack with a double and a triple. Alex Sharp, Jason Jenkins, David Miller, and Ben Hahn each had one hit. • In the second game, we came out with our normal fire and beat ^arrenton-3 13-3.

Debate on Roads Continues at Supervisors' Meeting 1 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N«w* Staff Writer j The courtroom was full Monday evening. Both those who support VDOT improvements and those who oppose them had come out for the supervisors' public hearing on the sixyear secondary road plan. , Robert Moore, VDOT resident engineer in the Warrenton office, said tyie purpose of the hearing was to hear from the citizens so the supervisors can decide which improvements to keep in die plan, which improvements to add to the plan, and which to drop. » He said an example of an improvetbent dropped from the plan is the proposal for Route 630 near Foster’s packing house. ’ Because of citizen opposition to VDOTs proposal, Mr. Moore said, "At this time it is put in storage or essentially stopped." 1 He said VDOT would have about $600,000 to spend on improvements to Secondary roads in the county in the Current fiscal year, and that is about the Same amount there has been for the past several years. * Mr. Moore said since the plan was last adopted in 1995 the department had received several requests for improvements to roads and bridges as a result of flooding. J Route 601 between routes 707 and 002 was one of the new requests, he explained. "It floods frequently," Mr. Moore said. VDOT is prepared to do a preliminary engineering study to see if • relief pipes, dikes or something” can help. Milton Thacker, assistant resident engineer in the Warrenton office, said VDOT would not take on any improvements to that road without cooperation from Madison County. Marilyn Armor asked what would happen if Madison County lacked the money to have work done on the road. She said the road and the Hughes River "are becoming the same." Mr. Thacker explained that all the funds are actually state funds and the two counties can work together. James Russell asked for help on a portion of Route 600 between routes 601 and 667 that skirts an old quarry. He said over the years erosion has made the roadway "extremely narrow. To me it's very hazardous. If two vehicles meet, one must back up." He said he is willing to donate a 10-foot wide strip of land so the road can be widened there. _■ Mr. Moore said that is a request which can be added to the plan. Normally new requests go to the bottom of the list, but if the situation is life threatening it can be moved up. Several people spoke about planned improvements to Route 620 at Five Forks. Hal Creel said he was "strongly opposed to paving and widening the road" but he knew most of his neighbors favored it and the needed right of way was available. He said he hoped VDOT would keep some of the old trees but remove trees that are dead and dropping their branches on passing cars. He said he hoped VDOT would keep "the We Can Solve Your H2O Problems Softening, Filtration, Deionization, Chemical Treatment, Reverse Osmosis, Waste Treatment Culligan Drinking Water Systems • Fresh from the tap • Available for sale or rental ■ We provide a complete range of Water Treatment services for home & industry 1-800-284-3440 The world's source for H better water. Locations throughout Virginia & Maryland canopy of tree's over the road and the feel of a winding country road" by using less than a 50-foot right of wgy^ Marshall Burke, who owns land on both sides of the road, said he would be happy with the improvement "just so it's wide enough to pass.” Charles Johnson said he agreed some of the old trees should remain but the canopy is like a tunnel and "has a tendency to create ice. It doesn't get sunshine." Included in the current plan is work on Long Mountain Road. Hampton District representative Mike Massie noted that $450,000 is scheduled to be spent there. Mr. Moore said work is scheduled for next summer. He said VDOT will be finding out over the winter how much right of way will be donated. "If we're not able to get the right of way, we may look at the steep grades for spot improvements," he said. Mr. Massie suggested holding a meeting in the Washington Fire Hall to discuss plans for the road, and Mr. Moore agreed that would be a good idea. IJallee Morgan said she wanted "to caution against overimproving roads.” She said the northern end of Route 729 has "been improved to an average speed of 55 miles per hour." Bemie Fisken noted that RLEP has asked the supervisors to consider the county's secondary roads as natural resources. He said because they are "curvy and narrow" they have a natural "traffic calming effect. Cars can't go so fast." He said VDOT looks at secondary roads from "two extremes. Either leave it alone or make it straight and wide." He said VDOT and the supervisors should try to find a position between the extremes. Mr. Moore said when VDOT receives a request for road improvements ”we go to our standards" for pavement width, shoulders and ditches. "What is called for that can stand up in court as being safe once it is finished." Joy Sloane said VDOT should get a round of applause for work following Hurricane Fran. "When I looked at my road after the flood, I thought it would be a month before I got out of the hollow," she said. "There were fish swimming in the road big enough to keep," but VDOT had the road opened by Sunday. VDOT will bring its recommendations for the revised six-year plan to the December supervisors meeting for the members to vote on. Earlier the supervisors learned that projects to clean up portions of streams damaged by Hurricane Fran are in process. County Administrator John McCarthy said the county would only be responsible for 9 percent of the cost since the state would be picking up 16 percent.

She noted that Rappahannock con* tributed more per capita to the CSB thari any of the other counties in the planning, district except Fauquier. She asked who, pays for heat at the other sites, since pri - vate fund-raising is responsible for the utilities at Rappahannock's new Senior Center. She also said it was only due to efforts in the community, not th$ Community Services Board, that this, new site was being made available.' "I would also like to know why our seniors were bused from pillar to post,? Mrs. Sloane said. "Since we’re paying more than Madison and we receive fewer services, I'd like to know how come?" she said. Mr. Duncan said this disparity would disappear as the other counties? had been asked to contribute more? while the board had not requested an' increase from Rappahannock. Mr$. 1 Johnson said there are many service^ ; provided by the Community Services Board in addition to services to seniors., "We’re getting more services than actu-* ally we're paying for," she said. Mr. Duncan promised to provide' answers to Mrs. Sloane's questions. •? He had actually come to the meeting to seek approval from the Board c$f Supervisors for a resolution allowing the CSB to borrow money to purchase a, building for offices and a centralized* kitchen. He presented the supervisors with a resolution approving borrowing up to $2.1 million to purchase-and renovate a 25,500 square-foot building outside Culpeper on Route 666. He said the building was a former | restaurant with office space and a com- 1 mercial kitchen "side by side. We hap- ] pen to need those things," he added. Mr. Duncan said the debt service for the building would be $150,000 per year, and the CSB has been paying that much in rent. The agreement would not obligate Rappahannock County or any of the counties to pay the debt which would be secured by a note on the building itself. The CSB has been renting space in the old Culpeper Hotel on Main Street. Mr. Duncan said the space is not adequate, and except for the ground floor not handicapped accessible. In addition, he said the building is cited by the fire marshal for non-compliance. Jackson District representative Ron Frazier asked if the other boards of supervisors had approved the resolution. Mr. Duncan said it had been presented to all the other boards except Orange but had not been approved by any of them yet. • Mr. Frazier asked if they had corrsidered sharing space with the Planning District Commission and Emergency Medical Services. Mr. Duncan said some sharing might be possible but the CSB would need almost all the space. Piedmont District representative • Charles K. "Pete" Estes made a motion to table the resolution until the: . December meeting, and that passed unanimously. ► Mood From Page A-l Pary Chairman Walt Longyear made an appearance, saying that he was "crashing the party,” but received a warm reception from the Weinbergs and everyone else at the party. Mr. Weinberg said that he had visited all the polling places in Rappahannock County during fhe day and had spent time at a few in Warrenton. He said he was extremely impressed with how friendly everyone was toward each other. Democrats and Republicans alike. Candidate Weinberg said, ”1 want to thank the citizens of Rappahannock County for their unfailing courtesy and friendship throughout this race, whatever their political preference or how they voted. ...I am grateful to all those who supported my candidacy and to all those who came out and voted in such great numbers and ip such good spirit.”

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News Real Estate Classifieds WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6,19$* Antique and Fine Art Center Shares Space] By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newj Staff Writer Stewart and Eve Willis have joined forces with several other art and •antique dealers to begin a new business loo Gay Street in Washington — the "Washington Antique and Fine Art Center. Though the Willises sell some antiques out of their Rare Finds shop on Main Street in Washington, they • and others felt it was the right time to •open a shop that specialized in ^antiques and fine art. They own the ^business, and many other local people are selling out of the store. Tanya Richey, a popular local painter, is selling many of her paintings and watercolors here as well as from her Wildflower Gallery on Main St. Having a shop of her own in town, :Mrs. Richey said that visitors Were always asking where to go for antiques. They were usually sent to Sperryville, so she and several others felt they may as well have an antique store in Washington. • Other people selling in the store lare Jo Tartt Jr. and Judith Watkins, who hail from Washington, D.C. but have a weekend place in Flint Hill. Mr. Tartt is owner of the Tartt Gallery in the Dupont Circle area of Washington, D.C. Ms. Watkins restores paintings that Mr. Tartt has acquired, and together they sell them here in Washington. They specialize in paintings of the late 19th century through the 1940s. As Mr. Tartt and Ms. Watkins were delivering several paintings to the Center last Saturday, customers were stopping them before they could even get the paintings into the building to hang them, asking to see them up close and inquiring about who painted them. Joan Herrema, who lives in Tiger Valley, sells many kinds of silver, mirrors, furniture, china and glassware in the shop. When she and her husband moved out to Rappahannock, they combined two households into one. Therefore, she said, she had plenty to sell. She really enjoys bringing in new items, and said about the shop, “It is a, nice collection across the board, a little bit from everyone.” She added that the store carries a wide range of items for sale, from fine period pieces to very reasonably priced things. Antique dealer Stacey Horton from Varied fabrics and plates as well as antique furnishings are found in one of several rooms in the art center. Front Royal and Tony Trujillo also sell antiques in the store. The many rooms in the house, which was the home of Mountainside Market until it moved to Sperryville in the summer of 1995, all have beautiful displays of furniture and antiques. One room upstairs has an extensive collection of old kitchenware; another has delicate ladies’ white gloves, short or elbow length, along with a selection of jewelry. Every little nook can hold a surprise for someone looking for that something special. Other rooms have twig furniture, quilt tops (ready to stuff and stitch), damask cloths and napkins, pillows, a 19th century American Windsor pine settee, old leather suitcases, a rattan sewing table, lamps, vintage photographs, flower pots, Wedgwood and Coalport china, etc. Mrs. Willis said there is a lot of turnover in the Center and that there are new items coming in every day. If someone is looking for something in particular, Mrs. Willis said they will keep a lookout for that item. In the store last Thursday, Stewart Willis said that sales have been really good since the store opened in the beginning of September. “Last week there was a big spurt on china,” he said, adding that a lot of people happened to be visiting from the west coast and the Center shipped a lot of china to the west coast. Mary Ann Kuhn of the Middleton Inn shopped last Thursday and was delighted to find a silver tray with creamer and sugar bowl and two silver goblets from the Westminster Dog Show to use in her bed and breakfast business. Mrs. Willis said that she is looking for someone to take over the smali greenhouse which is attached to one of the downstairs rooms, someone who wants to sell plants, seasonal wreaths, and fresh flowers. The Washington Antique and Fine Art Center is open Thursdays through Mondays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The phone number is 675-1414. Enjoying Indian Summer In Circle of the Seasons Edwin Way Teale called it the Fifth Season and the English often refer to it as “Old Wives Summer,” * Thoreau wrote, “May my life be not destitute of its Indian Summer.” I write of that period of sunny days, golden haze, warm temperatures, and little wind: summer’s last stand before the rigors of winter. In . Northern Virginia it occurs in late October, or most often, November, after the first hard, and what my mother used to call “...a killing frost.” She looked forward to the first cold spell because, she said, “...it kills all the germs.” *' As of this writing, in early . November, Indian Summer remains - to be anticipated. Now we’re experiencing reliable October weather with , a sky bluer than any other month of ,' the year. Dogwoods glow with a bur- gundy light, sassafras bums like the - last glow of coals before winking out, and maples are a rich and buttery yellow. Here in Rappahannock County ' color marches up the mountains and -dims as it climbs^Autumn has already made its staflment on color in the cooler air of higher altitudes. 1 Birds from the north have ; already arrived to spend the winter far south of their nesting grounds in ■ New England and Canada. Yesterday • afternoon, as light was fading from the sky, I heard the sleepy, reassuring “chink, chink” of White-throated . Sparrows as they settled down for the ; night in the protective density of clumps of Forsythia along Route 522 ; in Flint Hill. So far I have not seen a Junco: • that sparrow-like bird of charcoal gray and white that Thoreau wrote of having, “... the winter sky on his back and the snow-covered fields on his belly.” Juncos will arrive later in .' flocks that show white outer tail ; feathers as they dart up and away ; with twittering flight. The temporary reprieve from winter, Indian Summer this year is yet to come. For a week or two in November days will be hazy with saffron light and temperatures mild in the upper 60s and low 70s; shirtsleeve weather good for raking leaves and pulling up summer’s okra and tomato plants no longer bearing gifts. I went to the Rappahannock Library in search of insights and facts All Things Wild And Wonderful By John Trott The Virginia Naturalist on Indian Supimer, and the whole staff, plus a visitor, became involved. This is usually the case with those fine people. Volunteer Frances Thornton announced: “...a period of warm weather after the first hard frost.” My good friend Diana Bird, visiting the library, mused: “Is it somehow like ‘Indian giver?’” An interesting thought, typical of Diana who often gives me new ideas or a perceptive slant on an old one. ‘Indian giver,’ a gift bestowed, maybe unexpected, then taken back. Yes, that is Indian Summer for the gift of a second summer is indeed taken away by a cold wind from the north. Librarian David Shaffer made a telephone call. While I was making notes, he silently placed a note on my writing pad: “1778, de Crevecoeur”; the date the term Indian Summer is first recorded as being used and its author, an obviously French name. Was he one of those Europeans who came to write of-and record the wonders of the New World? Answers often reveal new questions. Two encyclopedias produced contradictory statements on the weather patterns producing the “fifth season.” One stated, and I paraphrase: A large mass of warm tropical air pushed north by southerly winds. Another version: Cold, high pressure masses of air move south from Canada, settle down and become stagnant and warmer. This produces a layer of warm air aloft which traps the warm air below and produces the golden haze associated with Indian Summer. Response from readers with knowledge of weather patterns will be reported in this column. Assistant librarian, Betty Smith, always enthusiastic and ever helpful, directed me to American naturalist Edwin Way Teale. There I found: “Early settlers assumed that the autumn fires of the Indians, burning ' off the prairies, caused both the hazy atmosphere and the abnormal warmth. Hence their name for the season: Indian Summer.” Betty was also interested in a comment I made which was based on an earlier search into this autumn phenomenon about which many wrote and few defined. Though Indian Summer, I had read, is a time of warmth and gendeness to us, it was a dreaded part of the year for setUers on the frontier. Indian war parties went against each other during this placid weather. They also attacked isolated settlements with fire and death. Betty Smith could find no more on this fragment from my earlier reading. She will keep at it, I suspect. That is her way. Though the term, Indian Summer, is disdnedy American the period of tranquil weather is also a part of European autumns. The ancient Greeks wove it into their myths about Halcyon, the kingfisherlike bird, fabled as nesting at sea and calming the waves. For the Greeks it was a calm and peaceful time of halcyon days. For Edwin Way Teale, Indian Summer was “...a time of drifting and reprieve. The very nearness of winter accentuates its charm.” This great American nature writer’s Autumn Across America was published in 1950. I recommend all of this author’s books. Mr. Teale wrote with grace, sensitivity and authority. Just before I left the library I pulled an imposing and formidable dictionary from the shelf and read, after a now familiar definition of Indian Summer, these words: “Figurative: A time of happiness or success coming late in life or at the end of an age.” That sums it up for me. I am now experiencing my own personal Indian Summer. John Tmtt welcomes reader comment at P.O. Box 515, Flint Hill, Va. 22627. Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahai Judith Watkins and Jo Tartt Jr. began selling paintings at the center last weekend. • ; Brownstein Show 'Gestural' By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The exhibition at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington during November of Mary Brownstein’s work consists of three direct cement figures which are large and located in front of the gallery; eight single or groups of two or three figures in bronze, small pieces from about three inches to eight inches in height or length; and nine paper works of wax and artist’s pigments. These lat. ter use nearly all dolors as well as black and white. The style of all of Ms. Brownstein’s creations is individual and recognizable. It is somewhat abstracted in the sense that details of her human beings and animals are often omitted, but what she includes is gestural, expressive of attitudes and emotions so that one reads meaning into what is portrayed. I found a great deal of fantasy which she achieves with economy. For instance, her figure #18, Garden Angel, a green direct cement sculpture, has the expression of an entranced female with small wings instead of arms, and a long skirt, seemingly swaying to the side and back. I thought as I looked at it, “Flight doesn’t take much in the way of wings if you are determined to Review • 1 fly.” This is a whimsical but serene image. A bronze group labeled “Family” is composed of three figures on a small platform, a man Looking out (but with no eyes!) seeming to move forward, a seated woman, legs drawn up and arms draped around in front of the knees, (no bust or anything else to say “female,” but there’s no question about that in my mind), and a large dog seated on the ground beside the woman. Nothing could be simpler or more reduced in detail than these figures. The faces have the triangular shape of some ancient, prehistoric statues, with long limbs and necks. I felt these individuals were related and satisfied. How does Ms. Brownstein convince me of this? By the careful placement and design of each figure. If the viewer doesn’t tarry*for a long look, he or she will miss what is going on with the works on view, especially the bronze sculptures. Ms. Brownstein is primarily showing relationships and the need for mutual feelings to achieve that. Figure #2, called “Clouds (#2 of 3)” portrays three busts of individuals all joined, flying or floating with two wings and a long» trailing, angled tail. They are green bronze and suspended by a hook froih a naturally colored bronze frame.' I found this imaginative construction amusing and pleasing. It has the lightheartedness of a child. Ms. Brownstein’s paper works sometimes seem as if she made them as studies for her sculptures. On the other hand, the compositions of mpst of them are more complicated than her three dimensional pieces. There alre pictures of people with animal heads and others are associated with animal 'figures called “beasts.” Number ITT, “Summer Night,” enigmatically por-| trays a person who might be the per-; sonification of a constellation in the! sky. At the figure’s feet, hands are; reaching up to grasp its legs. This is a| happy picture, but it also suggests' yearning. ' ! Most of the other pictures are sur-I realistic and show lower animal char-r’ acteristics of human beings or situa-' tions that are ironic and nightmarish.! Mary Brownstein doesn’t make popu-! lar art. It is demanding. You must! bring something with you to take; something away from studying it. f; hope many from our community will; take the opportunity to come to know; Ms. Brownstein through this exhibit tion which closes November 24. ~ Vogel's Work Displayed In Flint Hill Currently on view through Nov. 10 at The Flint Hill Public House are new art works by award winning artist Carol Vogel. A variety of subject matter in pastel, graphite, and charcoal media is presented. Portraits executed in pastel and graphite are displayed in the entrance lobby.

Rock N' Roll Trades Drugs for Gospel! By DOUGLAS FARMER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Sunday, November 10 FT. Church on Route 707. one mile off Route 231 North is pleased to host Ken Helser coming to share in two great services how Jesus Christ has changed his life. With the Swinging Medallions Ken ahd his drug buddies went to the top of the charts until one night while doing a concert God gave him a vision of how his lifestyle was not only destroying young lives he did not know, but also that of his own daughter. Immediately the Lord spoke to him and said "Is this what you want to do to your own daughters!?" Instantly Ken pleaded. "God, get me off this stage?" God answered. A beam broke under the stage sending the band sprawling and the concert was terminated. Many years later after this decision to follow Christ he has a ministry through music and Christian art works that are truly "symphonies from the heart." His musical style is difficult to categorize, even for Ken. "It's contcm■porary Christian, but it's even gutsier than that," he says, "It’s music from the heart." Ken ministers so wdrshipfully and graciously to all ages with a humility and touch that glorifies the Lord.' His ministry has literally taken him all over the world.

Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington There is little doubt that our veterans echo this strong sentiment by Arthur W ellesley. On this day set aside for those who returned from war. we must remember the ways in which war altered their lives and often their futures. They took with them strong young bodies. Some returned crippled and many were aged by the horrors of battle. They took with them hopes for the future. They returned to relive flashes of horror from the past. They took with them an appetite for victory. They returned knowing hunger for peace, for in war there is no true victory. This Veteran's Day as we honor those who returned from war. may we mourn the dreams they left behind...lost in the wake of war. j Sunday Monday Tuesday .
