By Naomi Smoot Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Plans for the future of the Town of Washington — they are the topic of much discussion throughout Rappahannock. Friday, July 25 at 7:30 p.m. there will be a meeting in the town hall where Washington residents and planning consultant Milton Herd will talk about plans for the town’s future. All ; are invited to this open agenda discussion. Mr. Herd’s firm has worked as far away as ‘ Madison, Miss., and as close to home as Winchester. Soon, however, they will be facing a new set of problems which range from waste water treatment to the lack of affordable housing in the village. Raymond Gooch, chairman of the Future Committee, feels that it’s definitely time to address these and other issues. “If we accept the fact that there will be changes then it appears to be a good idea to plan ahead rather than just wait for something to happen and then react to it,” he said. Gooch mentioned an article that appeared in the June 27 Fauquier Citizen, Warrenton, about a similar planning, or visioning, exercise taking place in Fauquier County. In that article Charles Hall, chairman of Fauquier County’s Planning Commission said, “Most strategic plans evolve out of a crisis situation. A large employer moves out of town...” Gooch said, “For us the crisis would not be loss of a major employer although if something happened to The Inn it would be a major set back for the town. But, it’s more likely to be See FUTURE, Page A8 Water: Environmental issues ~ l' • “-rr ~ 1 " "THi i 1—" —nfru n'iiri ^'iir^Trff ^nfr- -r*~ ."aft"ir tMirinir jTjiii im i «mnn imb By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Ragged Mountain Resource Center hosted an evening at the library on Friday, July 11, to share information and experience on water issues and to find ways for concerned citizens to become involved. Hunt Harris brought together a panel of experts with environmental knowledge and background. Panel members were: County Administrator John McCarthy, the moderator, whose role throughout the evening was to focus the issues back to Rappahannock County and to explain how the state and federal governments work; Jay Gilliam, a representative of the Isaak Walton League; John Rice from Gnsat Corp. in Culpeper; Karen Rice, of the U.S. Geological Survey; Julie Thomas, EPA air quality coordinator for the Chesapeake Bay Program; Tom Blount, of Shenandoah National Park; and Chris Miller, executive director of Piedmont Environmental Council. Invited but unable to attend was the Department of Environmental Quality representative. The absence brought more than a few chuckles. Mr. Gilliam commented that the Allen administration has recently replaced the D.E.Q.s highest echelon of the professional staff with their own political appointees. The effect is that many laws are not being enforced and morale for the rest of the D.E.Q. is low. Ms. Thomas added to please remember we can beat the D.E.Q. all we want, but the staff people want to protect the resources and are gritting their teeth until November. She said, we need to focus on that when talking to . -rM r i •’ JJj ' , them. The last General Assembly created the position of coordinator of volunteer water monitoring in Virginia. Mr. Gilliam said, “They are stonewalling. They are being dragged kicking and screaming.” He left Hunt Harris a copy of a bi-partisan study that analyzed what needs to be done at the D.E.Q. Also in the packed audience were Gary Chris, executive director of Planning District Nine (which includes Rappahannock County); Hal Wiggins, who is with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Fredericksburg, Richard Lacouture of the Academy of Natural Sciences; Joy Sours representing Friends of Page Valley; and Tim Bondelid, a Woodville resident and systems engineer for Research Triangle Institute. Lee Bird asked Mr, Gilliam about the stream monitoring program. The way to monitor water quality in your own stream is to do a collection of macro invertebrates (aquatic animals that can be seen without a microscope), he said. Monitor those commonly found, which are very tolerant of pollution, others which are intolerant, and a variety in between. The results are recorded on a data sheet and the continuity of the collection over time will provide a valuable record. When the accuracy of the critter identification is checked it assures that the data will be accepted by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. Although not as weighty as a professional monitoring it is far better than no See WATER, Page A8 At A Glance • July 18 - At 8 p.m., RAAC pre;. sents the film ‘Secrets and Lies’ at The •"Theatre. •' • July 19 - Rappahannock Water : ■ Monitoring Network monthly meeting at the Ragged Mountain Resource Center. • July 23-26 - The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department carnival at - * I the carnival grounds in Flint Hill. • • July 24 - At 10 a.m., the Library ‘ < Board meets at the library.

He was praising the committee for their work on the report they made to council. “It’s a difficult thing to do ... but a process that has to take place. Surrounding areas can make decisions which affect you. It’s hard to imagine here and now but I have seen situations where it has happened,” he said. Mr. Kramer said he’d like to see additional verbiage concerning the county’s relationship with the town and about creating a buffer around the town added to the report. “All you have to do is drive down the road,” to one of the surrounding counties to see what has happened with development there, he said. ' “The only way to protect against that is to try to have some kind of plan. I just want to say thanks for the effort,” he said. Mr. Kramer spoke during the public forum section of the meeting. Prior to his remarks the council addressed its other issues. Council member Charles Tompkins, chair for the Waste Water Study Committee, reported that the committee had met with the South East Rural Health Department which recommended proceeding with the health department surveys, and with an income survey as well for future funding purposes. The council approved a motion to conduct the two waste water surveys, one for Sm COUNCIL, Page A8 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN House fire: A fire that started in the attic resulted in some structural and quite a bit of water damage to the home of Michael and Diane Handy, off Route 622 in Woodville, Saturday. Fire damages Woodville home By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer A structural fire which occurred Saturday morning at a residence off Route 622 in Woodville brought out five area volunteer fire companies. Michael and Diane Handy were at their home when the fire started, apparently in the attic, said Anne Spieker of Washington Volunteer Fire Department Co. 1. The Handys, who live in Washington, D.C. also have a home here which they are working on. Mrs. Handy said at the scene that she was glad their two sons, Nathaniel, 16, and Jonathan, 12, were not at the home when the fire occurred. They expressed their appreciation for all the fire companies did to get the fire out quickly and said the fire department personnel rapidly responded and were very professional. The fire was basically contained in the attic but quite a bit of water damage and damage to the ceiling occurred due to the steps necessary to extinguish the fire. The fire companies did use tarps to try and protect many of the household items but even Sm FIRE, Pag* AS

TT ■ ? Vehicle overturns, no one injured By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer The week around July 4 is always a bad time for accidents and even here there were a few. On July 2, a 17-year-old female from Amissville driving a 1989 Ford pickup passed Daryl Bowman of Maurertown in a 1983 International truck on U.S. 522 in Flint Hill. She then got back in the right lane and slowed down. Mr. Bowman veered right to avoid her and then overcompensated to the left and his vehicle overturned. Although he was apparently not iiyured, the damage to his vehicle was estimated at $3,000 and to hers was estimated at $1,000. She was charged with improper lane changing according to Virginia State TVooper M.C. Woodard.. On July 1, an accident occurred at routes 211 and 626 in Washington, Va. when a 16year-old female from Waynesboro pulled out in front of Fernando Calderon, 49, from Falls Church and her car struck his in the side. The girl was driving a 1984 Toyota which sustained $500 in damage. Mr. Calderon was driving a 1991 Honda two-door and it sustained $1,000 in damage, according to TVooper M.C. Woodard. Mr. Calderon’s wife, Selvy, was injured but her NOTICE OF VACANCY DISABILITY SERVICES BOARD COUNTY OF RAPPAHANNOCK The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors is soliciting applicants to fill the volunteer position of Rappahannock Citizen Representative to the RappahannockRapidan Disability Services Board.

jjKoute 50 Coalition chair speaks in Flint Hill By Don Audette , i Rappahannock News Contributing Writer J* 011 June 30 in the Flint Hill Fire Hall, Susan Van Wagoner, chair of the steering committee of th® Route 50 Corridor Coalition, met with Flint -Hill residents interested in traffic calming. Traffic calming uses passive techniques to Slow down traffic in a village. It should be made clear up front that traffic calming does not 'make use of speed bumps. The passive techniques used change things so that, for example, If.S. 522 is not straight shot through Flint Hill. Instead, there is an entrance to the village, {here are sidewalks, landscaping, brick crosswalks, possibly a tree-lined median strip, etc. 'hi effect, the techniques return the village to the people rather than having the roadway -dverwhelm the village. * Traffic calming increases local business, brings a sense of community to the village, makes drivers more civil, and, above all, make the village a safe place to live, work, and play, j* Ms. Van Wagoner’s Route 50 Corridor a ■ Coalition and their traffic calming plans for Middleburg, Aldie, and Upperville have gained nationwide attention, including writeups in the New York Times and the Washington Post. Calls have come in for copies of their report and further information from citizens, planners, consultants, engineers, and transportation officials in over 30 states. The Coalition has also had very positive meetings with high level officials of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Admininstration. Senator John Warner views the Route 50 project as a national model and an opportunity for Virginia to be a leader in an innovative transportation approach. He is contemplating obtaining funding for the project. Kathleen Maier of RLEP introduced Ms. Van Wagoner to the group of about 20 people in the Fire Hall, and reiterated again that traffic calming is a grass roots effort. RLEP will support the effort, but the initiative and plans must come from the residents, she said. In her talk, Ms. Van Wagoner confirmed that approach, noting that the residents of Middleburg, Aldie, and Upperville, worked on long linear maps of their villages, writing on the maps their own traffic calming ideas, and planning on how they wanted their village to look over the next 50 to 100 years. She had brought these original maps and they were unrolled on long tables set end-too-end in the Fire Hall so people could view them. She also brought material that the Route 50 Corridor Coalition used to get their project underway and carry it through. Ms. Van Wagoner answered 18 previously submitted questions from the Flint Hill traffic calming group and RLEP. She also responded to many questions from those attending. Representative questions and answers, greatly condensed here, were as follows: What was the cost to do the Route 50 project; about $80,000 to do the study, $10,000 for the report, which is going into its second printing...much support came from organizations such as the Piedmont Environmental Council, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Goose Creek Association, etc....remember, this project involved three villages and 20 miles of Route 50 and there was also a direct threat of four-laning Route 50 and running bypasses around the villages. What is the first step: come up with a 50-100 year vision for the village, build from there. Do you need a lawyer: no, but it’s a big boost if one’s available for free. What about trucks: look into installing a weigh-in-motion weight station. What about speed bumps: don’t use them, everyone hates them, other techniques work much better. Did the Route 50 people ever feel like giving up: every day...but others always persevered. As to the next step for the Flint Hill group, July and August are bad months for meetings, but the steering group is to meet and firm up a fall agenda. Traffic calming meetings in Woodville, Sperryville, etc., wil^ also take place in the fall, if those villages express an interest to RLEP. Memory brought back by bird song r . #:. t:1 Recently, I heard the I tweet, plaintive song of a Field < Sparrow. I was visiting at the -home of Karin and Robert • McDowell near Waterford. The f lender song came to me across ithe fields and hedgerows near .their home. There were three -notes, more or less on the isame pitch, followed by a trill. (It) has been years since I have heard the song of the small r sparrow with the pink bill and fusty cap. . j The song transported me .-hack to blackberry tangles and j pun-drenched summer fields cof central North Carolina, cohere, as a lonely teenager I hpd stood among tall grasses ^Sprinkled with yellow and ^pnite daisies, purple vetch "apd red Deptford pinks to listen to the silvery notes of the plain little sparrow. As always, I was looking for bird nests, that occupation ! of many boys. I wasn’t going to \ collect the nest and its trea• cures, but I had to find the neat cup. It was a game I played with nature. ' During those years, I found many field sparrow nests tucked among prickly blackberry bushes or on the ground in the middle of a clump of j. daisies. White, speckled-withj brown, eggs were the reward ' for my search. To this day I think the nest of a wild bird with eggs the most beautiful . sight I know. Bird song can erase the present and send me reeling into the past. So it is with the first full robin song of spring. In the yard next to ours in the ■mall North Carolina town of New London, a great pear tree stood which, in early April, was a mass of foamy white (looms. A robin sang from the top of that tree. Today, the rollicking, clear notes of that song take me back to stand transfixed by the bird, the song and the great flowering tree.

Flint HiD, VA 22627 All Things Wild And Wonderful By John Trott The Virginia Naturalist of an April afternoon in my twelfth year, my father came out of the house to see me standing and listening to the robin proclaiming his exclusive right to all earthworms within the hearing of all other robins. He listened with me and, after a companionable time, my father said: “Bud, when you get to.be a man, you can make a living pointing out things like that robin to people. You won’t make much money you’ll have aj mighty good time.” And so J have. Soon after my move to Flint Hill, I was talkrng with my new friend, Diana Bird, who lives in the woods off Fodderstack Road between Flint Hill and Washington, Va. For some reason I don’t remember now, we were talking of night sounds in the woods. “Do you ever hear Whippoor-wills?” I asked. I haven’t heard one in years. They’ve SPECIALIZED BACKHOE SERVICES 5404754901 rOOTEHS P£Hk TESTS WATER LINES LvwscArmi UTILITY nmtllEW Compact industrial bwclthoc lor special Jobs In small places. become rare. No one knows why.” “Yes,” answered Diana. “One calls near the house. Come listen to him this evening. Lee (her husband) and I won’t be at home but you and your Lee come.” We did. When we arrived at the dark house all was silent. A full moon in late June cast soft shadows in the forest. We listened, silent and expectant. The night bird began it’s strident command to “Whip-poor-will, whip-poorwill.” So close was the bird that I could hear the soft, guttural “chuck” after the bird’s emphatic command to punish William. Suddenly, I was no longer in Virginia. Memory thrust me back to the sleeping porch, with its four floor to ceiling windows, on the second floor of our big house. On hot summer nights, it was usual for the whole family to sleep in the coolest part of the house. I was in my single bed, a skinny boy whose voice had years to go before it cracked. How I longed for this to happen; I wanted to catch up with my friends whose voices were already leaping octaves. Two older sisters were in one dodble heC *niy pafferit£Ti]5^ another.

I wondered if the others were asleep; was 1 the only one hearing this wonderful bird? In the shadows, I saw my father sit up in bed. He began whistling a clear imitation of the night bird. The Whippoor-will was silent, then it called again, closer. So began a duet between the bird and my father. After each imitation by my father the bird came closer until the strident call came from the great pecan tree in the back yard. Everyone was awake by this time and I could hear my sister’s whispering in the bed next to mine. “Let us go to sleep now, John,” said my mother. So my father was silent. The Whippoor-will was also silent. Soon I heard the emphatic admonition from far away, in the pine woods beyond the railroad tracks. I came back to the present and realized the Bird’s Whippoor-will had also stopped calling. Again I was standing next to Lee Trott in the soft shadows of a full moon; back in Virginia, back into the present. : 4 -*v • > -Av Board approves three applications By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer * The meeting last week of the town’s Architectural Review Board was brief but productive. The board had three cases before them and heard the application from Ray Gooch of Washington first. Mr. Gooch re-submitted a previous application for remodeling of the front porch of his cabin located at one end of Gay Street. “This is really an amend-. ment to a previous application and design approved by you, but I was concerned about the pitch of the roof (on the porch) and maintaining the authenticity of materials,” he said. He submitted drawings of the proposed porch and the board found no problem with his application. He had also consulted Jay Monroe about his design. He said he hopes the porch will be done this summer. He also added a railing to the design as he has researched the structure and found that originally it had one. The board approved his application. They also approved a request by Ralph Becraft for permission to remove a storage shed from his property. His property is located on Middle Street and he plans to remove the shed and extend the fence down the lot for 10 feet to meet the hedge. He also said he had already repaired his other storage shed. In conclusion the board decided an application from Mary Bailey to place a 10 by 12 foot storage building on her property was not necessary since the structure is one which sits on the grund and can be removed. . The board does not need to approve a structure unless it has a permanent foundation. She will replace the one which is there and will use the new one to store lawn equipment in.

Panel members, John McCarthy, county administrator, Jay Gilliam, of the Isaak Walton League; John Rice from Ensat Corp., Karen Rice, of the U.S. Geological Survey, Julie Thomas, EPA air quality coordinator, Tom Blount, of Shenandoah National Park and Chris Miller, executive director of PEC all have different yet relevant areas of expertise concerning the environment. It was unfortunate that a Department of Environmental Quality representative was unable to attend especially in light of its controversial reorganization. The DEQ is presently under the gun of the EPA which is demanding to know how it will administer federal pollution programs. Depending on the answers the EPA gets, it could remove the DEQ’s authority to issue permits to industries that discharge waste into the air and water The DEQ says it won’t happen and everything is under control. Still, the result is that many laws are not being enforced. Panel members at the forum addressed these issues and had answers about what to do. Mr. Harris is to be heartily congratulated for putting together such an outstanding event. He also has a copy of a bi-partisan study that analyzed what needs to be done at the D.E.Q. which Mr. Gilliam left with him if anyone is interested. There are other upcoming events planned for the remainder of “Water Month” and residents should attend if possible. You’ll find them extremely informative. The Time Machine I From the Rappahannock News back when 30 Years Ago Thursday, July 13, 1967 The proposal for the establishment of a Wilderness Area in Shenandoah National Park was a primary topic at the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors meeting held Friday at the courthouse. Mrs. J. Maurice O’Bannon of Woodville has recently resigned her position as medical and surgical nursing supervisor and member of the nursing staff of Culpeper Memorial Hospital, a position she has held since the hospital opened in March, 1960. The public is cordially invited to come to the Sperryville Elementary School on Friday, July 14, between 10 a.m. and noon to see the Summer Pre-School Readiness Program, and the Correctional Reading Program for Grades 1-7, in operation. A group of Boy Scouts of Amissville Troop No. 50 were in Washington, D.C. last Wednesday on a sightseeing tour. 25 Years Ago Thursday, July 13, 1972 The Rappahannock Senators breezed past previously unbeaten Calverton 7-2 Saturday at Rappahannock. The Senators played sound defensive ball while collecting nine hits. Saturday, three girls from Rappahannock participated in an All-Comers track and field meet held in Winchester*. The girls were running the 14-15 age group against competition from Virginia and Maryland. Miss Linda Roberts Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Smith of North Garden, and niece of Brue Wood of Flint Hill, will perform a voice recital on Tuesday, July 18, at 8 p.m. in Hughes Auditorium, Ohio State University, School of Music. At its June meeting, Rappahannock County’s Board of Supervisors took the county dog warden to turn down a dog claim for a slain sheep. 10 Years Ago Thursday, July 16, 1987 searching for the means JL^and the money to preserve open space have overlooked a provision in the Virginia Code which may confer upon boards of supervisors the authority to levy taxes for just that purpose. At its meeting last Wednesday, the Washington Town Council took concrete steps toward the first budget in recent memory which contains money allocated for capital improvements. Facing a hall full.of environmentalists in Warrenton last month, Transportation Secretary Vivian Watts remained rock steady in her support of a “new transportation corridor” to be built within the next 15 years to relieve congestion on the Capital Beltway. The Red Cross Bloodmobile will • be at the Warrenton United Methodist Church on Thursday, July 23, between the hours of 12:30 and 5:30 p.m. governments Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN Queen Anne’s Lace,although a weed, is beautiful and in bloom all over the area. Letters to the Editor Program informative To the Editor: Last Friday evening at the library, the large group who were fortunate enough to have attended, were treated to an expertly-presented program on what is possibly the most significant problem confronting our society today. The many-faceted subject, water: drinking water, waste water, surface water, underground water, run-off water, ..r_ water for and from domesticated and wild animals, from headwater trickles to bays and ocean water, was covered. Prepared and hosted by Hunt Harris of The Ragged Mountain Resource Center and the Rappahannock Library, and moderated skillfully by John McCarthy, our able county administrator, the program was brilliantly presented by a group of panelists from many angles and areas of specialization, and abetted by equally-skilled members of the audience who represented private, public and non-profit organizations, local, state and national governmental as well as non-governmental interests and responsibilities. Concerns were expressed for farmers, industrialists, environmentalists, for polluters and those who suffer from pollution, in other words, for all of us. We heard from such diverse areas as the Town of Washington, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Army Corps of Engineers, the private water purication testers, Highland County, Page County, the State, the PEC, etc. On Friday, July 25, at the Washington Town Hall, a consultant will help us discuss together Rappahannock’s future. Everyone is urged to attend to discuss possible plans for meeting what is certain to be a crisis about land use, the utilization and disposal of water and waste. I hope we will show our concern, not about whether we will or will not expand the town boundaries, a natural concern of all of us, but how the town and county can collaborate to solve our mutual. problems of population density, land utilization, property rights, utilization of resources and living together happily and comfortably in a world- -— where this is becoming h % increasingly difficult.

Second Opinion & Historical Perspective Reviewing slogans may be the order of the day mi rjuuawis «J. MCCARTHY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “The proud and careless notes live on” wrote William Butler Yeats, “when all this heavy history is done.” So too, do the proud and careless words of politicians after the heavy or light history to which they were once relevant is done. We must look at slogans, phrases, declarations, other expressions that have once been relevant and served the country well, to determine whether they 'Still are relevant, useful, and properly descriptive of our purposes, and our ways. Words attributed to Thomas Jefferson to this end, “That government governs best, that governs least, are now called up by conservatives and libertarians, as principled grounds for opposing nearly every government program and operation. It is so used, even though in action, if not in words, Jefferson rejected it in his advocacy of the adoption of the Constitution, to replace the Articles of Confederation, and the government, inadequate, and too “little.” that was established under that document. Nor does John Kennedy’s much quoted “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” stand the test of time, nor does it measure up well against Abraham Lincoln’s statement that “The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but cannot do at all in their separate capacities.” Nor does it fit well with Jefferson’s assertion in the Declaration of Independence that all men have the right to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” and “That to secure these, rights governments are instituted among men.” Jefferson, obviously, believed that it was all right to ask the government to do some things for the people, and even to establish a governor that could be asked. The second part of the Kennedy statement (one not very different' from that made by Warren Harding at the Republican convention in 1916 when he said “we must have a citizenship less concerned about what the government can do for it, and more anxious about what it can do for the nation.’) does not measure up well against the Declaration of Independence which does not wait for citizens to ask what they can do for the country but suggests they pledge their, “lives their fortunes, and their sacred honor.” These early calls to commitment do not stand up well in a political age, when the draft, as a basis for military service, has been replaced by a “voluntary army”, which is essentially a mercenary one. When a pledge of fortunes, is replaced by appeals by both major parties, for support, based on promises to reduce or eliminate taxes. James Otis’s stirring cry in support of the Revolution, “Taxation without representation is tyranny”, underscored and repeated by Jefferson in his list of complaints in the Declaration when he denounces the Crown, “For imposing Taxes on us without our consent.” has little relevance. Possibly it should be replaced by something like, “Taxation with Representation is Tyranny”, or “Representation without Taxation,” or the more restrained words of George Bush, “No new taxes,” wither as audible or to be lip-read. And Jefferson’ request for unlimited contributions in support of the revolution, should be modified to meet the standards of Common Cause, which would require a re-write of the last line of that document, which as revised would not ask for a pledge of “lives, fortunes and sacred honor” but of lives, sacred honor, and up to one thousand dollars,” as a measure of patriotic commitment. Ambassador Pinckney’s bold assertion to the French about the time of the War of 1812, that the United States was prepared to spend” Millions for Defense, but not one cent for tribute.”, should be updated both as to amount and purpose, in view of Iran-Contra, Middle East policy, and other considerations and realities, to read.” “Trillions for defense (and offense) but only billions for tribute.” And Stephen Decatur’s, much quoted, “our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong.”, doesn’t read well when set against the Declaration’s assertion of our “decent respect to the opinions of mankind”, our participation in the United Nations, our support for its declaration on human rights, the wurenberg trails, and our insistence on respect for human rights, by nations seeking MostFavored Nation treatment, or recognition by the United States. Two, political, slogans, of lesser importance, than some already written of in this essay, are also deserving of attention and modification or rejection: One “Politics stops at the waters’ edge.” It doesn’t and: second: “I believe in the two-party system.” a tenet which is contrary to John Adams observation, that the worst political situation he could foresee for government, ‘under the Constitution, was a politics controlled by two strong factions or parties. Perceptions tnaccurate lb the Editor: Last week’s editorial “A Great Fourth?” and the letter from James Bane contained a number of inaccurate perceptions and statements regarding parking on the Fourth of July. We certainly owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. William Carrigan for initiating the Fourth of July festivities some 36 years ago and for sponsoring the days events, for most of those years. Some years ago, Mr. Carrigan stepped aside from the operations and expense of the day and, by his own initiative, placed a covenant on his land that would perpetuate the celebration for virtually as long as the Tbwn sees fit to continue to support it. We are all grateful for his generosity. I know the Tbwn Council and The Rappahannock Associa-tion for the Arts and Community is appreciative, and everyone (that I know of, who knows anything about the situation) feels that Mr. Carrigan’s gift, to the community, of the use of his land for that one day, is generous Ibeyond words. v It would seem that some have failed to realize that the use of the land is only a piece of the puzzle. There are major expenses associated with the events of the day. Porta-. Potties, the fireworks, entertainment, signs, roping, the construction of a stage, printing, paper and postage, trash Jremoval, phone and decorations, all combine to make a bill of somewhere between 10K and 12K for the day. The Town makes a substantive contribution, but the rest must come from somewhere. Furthermore, anyone with any experi SHARP.

The most dramatic risk being a serious rain,, wherein, the capitol outlay would be the same, with little or no return for the monies spent. In addition, the celebration has grown enormously. Prior to the use df perimeter parking, vehicular and pedestrian traffic in town was a nightmare. It boggles the mind, to think of the kind of confusion with the increased crowds of the last several years. The monies collected for parking are donations to local non-profits and to the celebration itself. The perimeter parking lots, that are donated by a handful of landowners (along with the church lot), are manned by volunteers from non-profit groups around the County. This year, those groups were RAAC, The Child Care and Learning Center, and (The Boy Scouts. Each group is awarded a proportionate share of the revenues (after parking expenses) according to the number of volunteers that donate their time to perform this thankless work. RAAC’s share goes to offset the expenses, previously mentioned. Any non-profit group that can field able-bodied volunteers is more than welcome to help with this important task and to, thereby raise some funds for their organization. In the last few years, The Washington Vol-unteer Fire Department and The Rappahannock Animal Welfare League have benefited from the parking Revenues, in addition to the groups that participated this year. The sign at the church (like the ones at the other lots) asked for these donations from everyone and then declared that this was the handicapped lot. Also, that sign (and the others) told everyone that the donations were to benefit local non-profits. No one was denied access to the festivities, except, perhaps, by their own resentment at being asked to contribute to the day. We asked for public cooperation and, for the most part, we got it. One parking lot owner, graciously, paid to park in his own lot, in order to further support the festivities. As for allegations that the lot owners were not informed, I can not even guess where this inaccurate statement originates. Every affected landowner was asked, and all were indemnified by the Town, and all granted permission for that use. I would think that the citizens of Rappahannock would be grateful, that a celebration like this can happen in their own backyard and that their contribution would be a mere $2 per car. Finally, let me say, those of us, who work on this event, Eire more thsm willing to discuss any feEisible way to improve the celebration, and we invite anyone, with something constructive to say, to attend any, or all of the six months worth of meetings it takes to put this event together.

raBATTiiiE r. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN hTancniwiH. M.avld M4a®s,e9ets the complete attention of his pigs by treating them with jelly beans. David will soon take the pigs to the C-M-R Farm Show and hopes to do well. Area youth ready for show By Naomi Smoot Rappahannock News Contributing Writer David Massie, 13, and Jessie Palmer,8. are competing in this year’s C-M-R 4-H Farm Show. Jessie is entering seven projects. His favorites are a model car and a story about a battle between a prince and an evil warlord. David is showing two steer, a heifer and a hog. Despite the vast difference in their projects they both admit they invest a large amount of time to them. Jessie works all year on his projects and David beins in January continuing to work until the State Fair. „ Why are they in farm 3hows? “Because I like to!” Jessie explained. David said “I live on a farm and I have experience with anima;s. I’m wound animals all the time, it’s fim.” It also teaches many valuable lessons. Jessie said “I lave learned how to make things and I got to go to camp.” “It teaches you how to hanile responsibility. It teaches rou about bill paying and takng care of your animals,” David said, adding that he is jetting experience which he lopes to turn into a career. His mother, Debbie Massie laid, “David is very responsible. He gets up and feeds the aniamls in the morning and then again in the evening. He takes his responsabitilities very seriously. I think 4-H has been wonderful for him..” She also feels he knows more about financing now since he has his own checking acount which he uses for feed and other neccessities. “I remember the first time he wrote a check. He looked at us and asked ‘Is this all I have left.’ I think he realized the value of money. Jessie’s mother Jan, who works at the Extension office, also feels her son has gotten a lot from 4-H, “I think for a seven year old to write a story is really neat. All the years that I’ve worked in the office I’ve seen lots of kids that were in 4-H and that weren’t. You can really see a difference. It builds confidence also.” Club goes to judging contest By David Massie Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County 4-H Livestock Club, along with 20 other counties went to Blacksburg for the State 4-H Livestock Judging Contest on June 21. They judged classes of beef cattle, sheep, and swine, interpreted performance records, answered questions, and gave reasons. A total of 129 contestants competed. In the competition the junior team representing Rappahannock County consisted of Phillip Thomas, Nathan Corbin and David Massie. As a team they did very well. The junior team took home 8th place in the beef cattle division, 7th place in the sheep division, and 4th in the swine division. The team got an impressive 2nd place in Reasons and Questions, with 6th place overall team score in the state, missing 5th place by just two points. In the junior individual competition Phillip Thomas won 9th place in the swine division. Nathan Corbin won 10th place in the Reasons and Questions division. David Massie won 5th in the Beef Cattle division and 4th place in the Reasons Questions division. There were not enough members to make up a senior team.

Rappahannock stuns Strasburg By Sharon Pendleton Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Rappahannock Monarchs went heads up with Strasburg Rams on Sunday. Despite the heat, Rappahannock came out to play for one reason, and that was to win. Luther Alexander started on the mound for the Monarchs. With his arsenal of pitches, he went seven innings, gave up six hits, two runs, and struck out seven batters. After three innings, the score was tied 1-1, Rappahannock allowed one run for Strasburg in the fourth, then realized that their defense was there but had to find the offense, to take the win home. In the sixth inning, W. Parker comes up to bat only to drive a homer out of the field. B. Hackley walks, S. Frye walks, R. Harris singles to score one, G. Ward singles, to score one, and L. Alexander singles to score another, with no outs. Continuing the inning with two outs, B. Miller gets on base by a walk, Parker bats again, this time doubles, driving in two runs, Hackley singles, driving in one. With this inning, and no errors, Rappahannock was ready both defensively and offensively. Rappahannock never gave Strasburg another run. In the eight inning, Parker, Hackley, and Frye singles to have bases loaded for Harris who singled and scored three. G. Ward singled to score the last run. Stoney Frye came to the mound in the seventh inning to close the game. He walked one, struck out four and gave up no runs. Rappahannock’s coach, David (Scratch) Clanagan praised his team. It was a game every coach dreams of, no errors. The Monarchs were led offensively by: W. Parker, one home run, three singles; S. Frye, one double, one single; G. Ward, three singles; L.

Future From Page A1 that at some point someone’s going to buy a large parcel of land and want to develop it in dose proximity to the town. I think at that point it may well be too late to try to do some strategic planning. I think you have to do it, hopefully 20 years, before so that when the future comes you’re ready.” What’s foreseen for Washington’s future? The committee has broken things down into three areas, all of which will most likely be discussed on July 25. Waste water issue The first of these, which has been identified as the most pressing matter, is that of waste water management. A special committee has been formed on the subject since it is such a major dilemma and all other problems are thought to hinge on it. For instance, the possible expansion of town boundaries would require a larger waste water treatment center. Similarly linked is the issue of tourism since a restaurant or Bed & Breakfast use more water than the typical home. In addition, the current solution for dealing with sewage in town greatly hinders the development of already-existing structures. “A waste water treatment facility would free up space that you now have to reserve for drain fields. One of the problems Trinity [which had considered moving out of town] had was they owned the lot across the street where they were going to build. Or they could build behind the church in the parking lot,” Mr. Gooch said. “Those are two awful alternatives because if they built in the parking lot they would have no place to park and everyone who comes to town uses the church parking lot to go to the post office or the cafe. On the other side, where they have the vacant lot, one of the drain fields is located. So that meant they couldn’t build on the whole lot with the set backs they had to have to reserve a space for their drain field,” he said. He added, “We also have residents here who are in serious situations because if their drain fields fail they have no place to put another one on their lot.” Even the county government offices may at some point be encumbered by the space the current sewage system gobbles up. On the other hand, there is the possibility of unwanted development should a treatment facility be put in. .The waste water committee has done a needs assessment study and is currently considering an Engineer study. This study would explore possibilities such as green houses and natural wet lands from the engineers point of view. Parking The second of the three topics is the possibility of a parking problem in Washington. Two studies have been conducted, both of which show there is no real problem. Another survey is planned. Should this survey, or one in the distant future show the need for a village parking lot it it will be then be determined what must be done. General The third topic is a very general category. Things such as tourism, the affordability of village housing and the possibility of town expansion as well as Washington’s demographic, or ethnic, economic and age mix, fall under this heading. The meals and lodging tax, which comes from tourism, makes up 80 percent of Washington’s budget. This year $4,000 was put in the budget for a visitors center.

Sorry, no checks. All sales final. possible should be done to keep people coming. The town relies on the 2.5 percent of the revenue it receives from the tax. Before the meals and lodging tax the town budget was $12,000 or $13,000, now it’s $150,000. The affordability of housing in Washington, also under the general heading, is a definite problem for which there are no current solutions. Mr. Gooch said, “It’s a problem for school teachers, it’s a problem for people who work in the county, Faith Mountain or The Inn or the county government. Affordable housing could also help senior citizens, those who retire and come to the county and want to live on the mountain top and as they get older realize that it’s not a very smart thing to do because they can’t get off the mountain top in the winter and it’s a long way for the rescue squad to get to them. Maybe they’d like to move to Washington but it’s hard to find anything.” With the town’s problems established it’s up to residents and the committee to sort out what should or should not be done from here. The next step along that road is the meeting July 25 at 7:30 p.m. From Page A1 so there was significant personal property damage. The structure itself is intact said Miss Spieker but the ceiling will probably have to be replaced. Much of the repair will have to do with what the insurance company decides. The call for the fire came in at 11:31 a.m., it was dispatched at 11:32 a.m. and fire company personnel were on the scene at 11:44 a.m. The companies left at 1:42 p.m. after cleaning up and making sure no hidden fire remained. Companies 2 and 7 of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department responded along with Co. 1 and Co. 4 from the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department and Co. 3 of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department. Water From Page A1 record at all. You must document water quality insisted Mr. Gilliam. Rappahannock has clean water, but it must be proven if it is challenged. One of the things being worked on at the state level is accepting citizen water monitoring data. Also, high quality monitoring is already being done by many governmental agencies and if requested it can be collected and combined in scientifically defensible ways. There were many questions about perennial streams (constantly flowing), intermittent streams (wet in the spring and dry in the summer) and ephemeral streams (ditches that collect rainwater and dry up which are not regulated), the effects of logging and forestry, pollution from the poultry industry in the Shenandoah Valley,' the Virginia Right to Farm Act, and the agricultural shift from family farming to industrial farming. It was mentioned that the D.E.Q. addresses only point pollution (what comes out of a pipe), not non-point pollution which is everything else and is far more pervasive. They recently released a survey showing that three percent of the nitrogen and 10 percent of the phosphorous in the Rappahannock River was from point pollution. The remaining 97 percent of the nitrogen and 90 percent of the phosphorous was from non-point pollution sources such as septic systems, crop land and pasture run-off. Below the fall-line (the point where seawater is present), point pollution nitrogen rises to seven percent and phosphorous jumps to 28 percent. Something as simple as having septic tanks cleaned every two years can have a tremendous effect on pollution. After the problems are assessed, then try to participate in the solutions was the message. Man power is the biggest factor in implementing the solutions, so in Rockingham County they use the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-Hers, V.M.I. students, even prison ers to be able to take advantage of federal cost-share programs. Sharon Kilpatrick asked about the leaching pollution at the abandoned Aileen Sewing Factory in Flint Hill. Mr. McCarthy explained it is being monitored by the government but the state is not saying anything about it. Organic solvents were used to clean the machinery and they were discharged into and on-site sewage facility that did not treat solvents, and they leaked out. The company is in federal bankruptcy court and the information is sealed. “Is there nothing that can be done so they just watch it spread?” asked Mrs. Kilpatrick. “It is a long-term threat to the people in Flint Hill.” Mr. Rice said organic solvents of this sort are expensive to clean up, requiring testing, designing a program and drilling wells. Below the surface the Piedmont geology is fractured with a long residence time for ground water. It may take as long as 20 years for the water to drain out. An organic contaminant degrades into a metabolit which cn be perfectly harmless and other times is as bad or worse than the original, commented Karen Rice. When pressed again why this information is not available and who one would contact, Mr. McCarthy said the D.E.Q. would be the place to go, but everything gets referred to the federal bankruptcy court and the federal judge is not responsive. Tim Bondelid, a systems analyst who has done work as a consultant for the E.P.A. said most of the monitoring data is in the national data bases and can be accessed. He offered to help pull the data together. The National Zoo in Front Royal has indicated that they are interested in helping the Rappahannock community, added Mr. Gilliam. They have an extensive laboratory that can handle accurate testing. The discussion ended with examples of what a partnership between groups and education can accomplish. Hunt Harris, Kenner Love or John McCarthy can be contacted if you would like to help in this citizen water monitoring pro With Digital Picture & Sound and ifc Packages Starting at About a D< PRIMES Now Over 150 HTS Mitcnoil Laylon Tne Disney Channel © Disney © 1996 Paramount Pictures It’s Never Been Easier to Get Great Satellite TV! imai msum 15 s iu:# cu anu joes noi mciuoe any programming costs equipment rental costs or install costs tor additional outlets Limited time otter SuDtect to credit approval Otter valid through July 31 1997 Cannot De comomed with any other otter Otter avaiF atue through seieded distnbution channels Local sales tax may apply "Does not include installation Based on selected packages Pnces are subied to cnange Local sales taxes may apply ABC CBS FOX NBC and PBS are available only to households that cannot receive that network olt-the-air trom the local TV station usmg a conventional rooftop antenna and nave not received that network by cable 7V within 90 days pnor to satellite service A# channels are intended tor pnvate home viewing Pnces available tor residential servce only ©1997 PRIMESTAR BY TSAT Call now, 1-800-PRIMESTAR PRIMESfW PRIMESTAR IV TSAI gram. The discussion showed the advantage of having people who are environmentally astute meet with concerned citizens. When the Disney Corporation tried to build a theme park in Fauquier County intermittent streams (which affect wetlands) were an obstacle they had to challenge. The advantage of having a documented body of water monitoring data is that it can bring in the long arm of the environmental law to protect Rappahannock from development and it’s up to the county’s citizens to get involved and make the difference. , Mr. Gilliam heads programs to train citizens to use a simple, biological method of monitoring rivers and streams. He is soon offering a wter monitoring workshop in Luray. Mr. Rice is a hydrogeologist who assesses ground water supplies, monitors ground water with contamination and plans clean-ups. Karen Rice’s division in Charlottesville looks at the quantity and quality of ground water. Specifically, she works on trace contamination in river bed sediment and watershed response to acid rain. Julie Thomas works as volunteer coordinator arid program director for the E.RA.’s Chesapeake Bay Program. Tom Blount is from the Shenandoah National Park. Chris Miller of PEC has worked specifically on two water quality permits, one at the South Wales sewage treatment plant and the other at a proposed dam at Cedar Run with implications for the Rappahannock River. Hal Wiggins of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will present the next talk at the library, time to be announced. Also, the Isaak Walton League is offering a stream restoration workshop in Charlottesville on July 26. Spaces are available but reservations are necessary. Please call Jay Gilliam at 377-6179. Council From Page A1 the condition of properties in town and the other a survey of - income for all lots and perimeter lots. Mayor Stew Willis aftd Mr. Tompkins will draft a letter to the health department. It was also mentioned that perhaps the whole watershed should be surveyed in cooperation with the county. The council approved a motion to contact the county. Council member Ray Gooch reported that the Future Committee will host a special meeting on Friday, July 25,-at 7:30 p.m. at the town hall at which Milton Herd, a professional planner, will meet with residents to discuss the town’s future planning. “It’s a general visioning meeting about the town,” he said. Mr. Herd will set the agenda and will have limited materials supplied. A motion to pay the consultant to come and hold a meeting for informational purposes was approved. Mr. Tompkins also reported that the Fourth of July festival was very successful this year. “I think we may be bringing in enough to justify the effort,” he said. He thanked all who gave of their time and helped out and the council for supporting the event and the decision to bring it the Royal Alexandria Fyfe, Drum and Trumpet Corp. All felt their performance was superb. In old business the council discussed the modifications to be made to the water treatment plant. Two designs have been proposed. One would be without improvements to the well head and the other with improvements to the well head. council memDer Louise van Dort said the council should get a written estimate of cost and should have a third party review it but that the electrical work needs to be done. It was brought out that the health department had recommended the well head should be raised two years ago and council member Steve Critzer will get in touch with them to find out if they did say that the well head should be raised. The council approved a motion to make $1,000 available to Mr. Critzer in order to have the necessary funds for the well pending the answer from the health department. The council approved the addition of Jean Butler to the Town Planning Commission.

Neighbors/B2 Obituaries/B5 Classifieds/B6 Real Estate/B8 July 16, 1997 jWild critters visit library By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Julie Reel of the Wildlife Center of Virginia presented a talk at the library on Friday, July 11 for the summer reading program. She began by explaining to the crowd of close to 80, including many preschoolers, that she works at a special place that cares for wild animals when they are hurt or abandoned. Animals come from all over Virginia and even surrounding states and are treated with the intention of being returned to the wild. Sometimes the animal’s injuries are so severe they cannot survive in the wild and so remain at the center where people can learn from them. From the beginning Julie engaged the audience by asking if anyone did not like snakes. She proceeded to pull a three-foot Florida King snake from a bag. As it wrapped around her hand and i up her arm she insisted he ; was not only friendly, but valt ued for his appetite for J rodents. Not an eye left her ■ hand. She answered questions about reticulated pythons, poisonous snakes, and she told a story about a snake brought into the Wildlife Center that had swallowed a golf ball. She cautioned children about removing turtles from the road and bringing them home, because often these turtles need to be left alone to find a place to lay their eggs, adding that any mammal can be a vector for rabies, especially foxes, raccoons, skunks, bats and ground hogs. Everyone watched in awe as Julie pulled on a falconer’s glove and presented a Red-tail Hawk with an almost five-foot wingspan. A bulldozer had knocked down the hawk’s nest when she was young pinning her wing under it. She was bought to the Wildlife Center, but even surgery could not repair her right wing to full flying ability. Unable to pass “Mouse School” she could not be released in the wild. Julie asked the crowd if they would be able to wait for two months for baby birds to grow enough to leave the nest before trees were knocked down and there was a unanimous, “Yes.” There were many questions about the hawk, all answered with enthusiasm and evident knowledge of the wildlife she helps save. Saving the best for last, of course, the falconer’s glove was replaced with a small, white glove to be the perch of a Saw-wet Owl (the second smallest in the country.) It was only five inches tall, weighing only three ounces, mostly feathers, fluff and enormous eyes. This little owl was hit by a car and lost a wing. Owls often hunt along roadsides where rodtents are attracted to litter. Over one-half of the owls brought to the Wildlife Center are victims of automobile accidents. The talk ended with a pledge, “I pledge allegiance to the earth, one home for all life, with enough clean air, clean water and healthy land for all animals, and I know that it is my job to help keep it that way.” Kyle Beck, 6, liked the snake best. His mother said they live in Culpeper, but they like to visit the Rappahannock Library. Alex Johnson, 5, of Flint Hill commented, “The snake was good, but I wanted to see a python.” Debbie Massie and daughter, Caroline, said they learned a lot they didn’t know about wild animals. Ms. Reel is an environmental educator. She spent time in the woods when she was growing up and started asking questions when she saw a fish floating upside down in a creek. She studied biology in college and realized that her goal was to educate people about environmental problems. The center is a nonprofit organization that treats over 2500 animals each year. It operates because of the help of 200 volunteers and private donations. Located in Waynesboro it will be open to the public on a limited basis on Aug. 10, call 942-9453. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN The Rappahannock Lions Club enjoyed its annual picnic last week. Lions elect new officers Outgoing President E. Franklin Warner spoke at the Rappahannock Lions Club’s annual picnic held on July 10 about his tenure as club president: “Distinguished guest, families, friends, and fellow lions, it is with mixed emotions that I stand where I stood 367 days ago, having just been sworn as your president for the yfear 1996-97,” he said. “I am glad to see this day come as I complete my year in your service, and service to this community, for it is together that we live out the motto of Lionism — “WE SERVE”.” He said there was also a measure of sadness that they could not accomplish everything that was started but that was quickly overcome by the fact that the leadership of incoming president Butch Walker will enable the club to move forward with the programs and initiatives of the club. Mr. Warner had pledged three things: lb continue the fine traditions of the club, and to bring upon it no shame or embarrassment; to increase the membership of the club; and to . lower the average age of the membership of the club. The club had a very good year and raised nearly $15 thousand (as follows, Fourth of July Cafe 1996) $1,508; Spring Auction $4,887; Apple Butter $2,100; Draw-Down Raffle $4,100; and approximately $500 from miscellaneous sources such as mint sales, brooms, sales at Weakley Auction, etc. The club distributed approximately $16 thousand (not a deficit, funds from previous year were available) as follows: sight and hearing van maintenance $1,000; 4-H Club $100; students against drunk driving after prom party $100; Kirk Davis Memorial $104; Rappahannock Athletic Boosters $520; purchase of tables and chairs for Senior Center $400; Rappahannock Social Services $720; Seniors Christmas $500; purchase of storafrfkrailer for club equipment and materiaf^^3,300; Rappahannock High School public speaking club $300; baseball league $500; DARE program $500; RCHS Girls State $175; 7th grade trip $250; Old Dominion Eye Bank $1,000; Lions Hearing Foundation $500; Lions Clubs International Foundation $100; leader dogs for the Blind Program $1,000; Lions of Virginia Foundation $100; raised separately through individual members donation for the Paul A Nichols Scholarship Fund $1,150; hearing testing booth for RCES $1,241; Bland Contest $500; scholarship for RCHS graduate $1,000, Boy Scout project to erect picnic tables as memorial to Paul A. Nichols at Senior Center $285; and RCHS girls basketball $200. Of the $15,545 distributed, $9,645 (or 62.5 percent) went directly to programs here in the county. In addition, some of the contributions made to traditional Lions programs are available to county residents, such Screening Van, Eye Bank, and others. A number of special programs and guest speakers were presented during 1996-97: Talk on Diabetes and Its Complications, Dr. Joel R. Poole; Talk on Prostate Cancer, Dr. Niemmi Datta; Talk on Hong Kong, Lion’s Norman Getsinger; Year’s Experiences and Relationships, Rappahannock County High School Foreign Exchange Students; Law Enforcement, Major Rick MacWelch, Chief Deputy, Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office. “I believe we have had a very good year," said Mr. Warner. “We have accomplished a lot. We, on the other hand, have a lot more to do.” Other club positions announced at the picnic for the coming year are: First vice president, Hal McDermott; second vice president, Jeff Light; third vice president, Harry Purdy; treasurer, Emerson Williams; secretary, Ken Marlor; tail twister, Henry Wood; Lion tamer, J.R. Goolsby; membership chairman, John Hartline; membership vice chair, Bob Darby; membership member, Gary Settle; chaplains, Carson Johnson and Bob Scott; directors, first year, Bob Scott and Hubey Gilkey; directors, second year, Roger Andrews and Bob Metcalf.

Great sculpture in Sperryville BY MARY BETH MARTIN Rappahannock News Staff Writer A sculpture class taught by Charles Flinkinger this summer at the Old Way Art Center in Sperryville has netted exceptional results. This is a chance for local people to learn the techniques of sculpting with a live model. Be that as it may, the class has drawn people from as far as Fairfax. The course consists of nine three hour poses. Each sculpture is worked on for three sessions. The students were offered the opportunity to make casts of their clay sculptures, a messy and time-consuming process. Mold making is a craft that if attempted without instruction can waste materials and can be a health hazard. Other extras include armature and custom tool making. Sheri Woodward, one of the 14 students in the class, thinks the county is fortunate to have a class of this quality here. Cartoonist Jeff MacNelly finds it a great change of pace to work with clay. Peter White of Sperryville says “Flick” is one of the best teachers he has ever had. Barbara Perris and Janet Martini agree it is well worth the trip from Fairfax. Flick instructs three days at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. and at the Art League School in Alexandria. He taught for four Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN CREATING: Charles Flickenger’s, center, sculpture class at Old Way Art Center in Sperryville was a fantastic success as evidenced by the finished results seen here. years at the Maryland Institute College of Art. After growing up in Washington, D.C. and watching it become more and more crowded, he moved to West Virginia, but found it too far from the art community. After returning to Washington he was drawn to Rappahannock. Besides being a beautiful place, he says he likes the lack of pretension and the sense of community within a highly diversified population. He said, although he has many friends and attachments to the city, he feels a great deal of animosity to the ugliness of the sprawl and the destruction of the environment. Admittedly, he feels like part of the problem and hopes to spend more time here. A new class will begin in August and starting in September he will offer a weekday class. Patty Brennan is going to offer a stained glass class this fall along with Eric Kvames who will teach a glass-blowing workshop. The Old Way Art Center (so named because artists take their time and do things the old way) is providing studio space for a variety of artists. Call Old Way at 987-8474 for more information. Old Way is going on-line at http/www/oldway.com. Water Show has much to offer By Diana Bird Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “The Water Show”, July 4Aug. 27, at the Middle Street Gallery, assembles the work of more than two dozen artists. There are oil and acrylic paintings, hand-made paper and glass displays, photographs and wood carvings — a particularly varied group, showing or suggesting some relationship with water. The exhibition reflects the gallery’s interest in cooperating with other undertakings in the county this month designed to draw attention to the importance of ’’the community’s water resources and the challenges they pose. Two striking oils by Patricia Salmon aptly represent the sea-side “season” scene — one shows the side of a cafe on stilts called “The Pier” and the other a cottage porch and adjacent cottage, “Fearing Porch in August”, picturing wind-blown bathing togs and beach towels. While the temporariness of the situations attract attention, it is the interesting compositions and their “speaking” colors that make these informal scenes artistic. Chris Stephens’ acrylic “North Fork” and “River Light” are made electric with postimpressionist colors — greens, blues, yellows, purple and red. In one, the water flows briskly; in the other, it seems to run deep. Both convey a sense of a bright, lively world. Ned Bittinger’s three domestic scenes, a bathtub bather, an image focusing on old-fashioned brass plumbing fixtures and a bather’s feet, and a kitchen sink full of pots, utensils and dishes, emphasize how the artist’s eye can excite thought in unexpected places. Although his subjects are distinctly portrayed, colorful and picturesque, there is a softness at the edges of things, characteristic of his work, that relaxes one’s focus while observing his down-to-earth statements. Three photographs with mirrors by Nancy Halgren are almost surrealistic in that the mirrors reflect the scene from the opposite direction of the camera’s focus — beach and a pond scenes. The soft, neutral colors of these colored photographs are natural, but show a gray, not a blue or green sea. Steven Kenny, an exuberant surrealist, has four entry’s that invite study. His work is bright, made of strong blues, reds, greens, purples and much more. It features out of scale objects — a cardinal larger than a person in a “Rappahannock Landscape”, for instance — a pastoral scene of red bud, dogwood, cattle, mountains, rocks, a stream and wild flowers. The cardinal is hitched to what looks like a wooden cart in which there is a standing man. An enthralling figure is a cat-bird lady beneath a palm tree that on close inspection turns out to be a green raptor. A gigantic baby, in a boat drawn up just out of the water, holds one end of a rope that the cat-bird woman also holds. The precision of the painting, in Mr. Kenny’s four oil works, is outstanding. Their audacity, at the very least, commands attention. B.J. Harlan’s two “Pond Tables”, of carved wood and steel are among the most attractive of the entries. She makes lilies and water float before us in greens, yellows, creams and blue. Don’t miss this fascinating juried exhibition featuring water in all its familiar manifestations.

Food, parties and poduck Christine Kastan Extension Agent, Family and Consumer Sciences Summer gatherings, whether at church, the pool or at home often include guests bringing a covered dish from home to add to the buffet table. What wonderful foods our friends and family prepare and it is always a treat to taste other people’s cooking. Tb insure a good time at these summer gatherings remember the precautions needed to keep food safe from harmful micro-organisms that can make you sick. The first precaution is to keep cold food cold and hot food hot. Refrigerate cold food or keep food hot when it is brought to the gathering. If there is no refrigerate be sure to bring coolers with ice and keep them in the shade to stay colder longer. Place food on the buffet only when you are ready to serve it.

If you are outside and the weather is warm the amount of time you can leave foods out decreases. The best way to take care of this is to prepare a “bed” of ice and place salads and cold dishes on top of the ice. Hot foods should be put out in small quantities and replaced when needed. If foods are out for more than two hours they should be discarded, r The second precaution is to keep it clean. This means the people handling the food should wash their hands with soap before preparing, cooking, serving food or handling leftovers. If soap and water are not available be prepared with alcohol hand wipes. People with colds should not handle food. Clean also means preparing food in a sanitary way. Thoroughly clean (hot soap and water) or use a separate cutting board and utensils for preparing vegetables and fruits and one for meat or poultry. Clean also means covering food to keep it free of insects which can carry disease and air borne contamination.

Pizza nutritional and convenient for parents, kids By CHRISTINE A. KASTAN Extension Agent Finally, something kids and parents can agree on — pizza. Whether it is graded on nutrients or taste, pizza is at the head of the food class. Parents love the convenience of this one dish meal. Recently at two agriculture education field day events third graders showed their enthusiasm for pizza as they studied all the plant and animal foods that went into making it. Pizza is one of the few foods that can supply at least a single serving from nearly every food group, depending on the toppings. Most pizza consist of crust, tomato sauce, cheese and meats, covering four of the food groups — „ bread, cereal rice and pasta group, vegetable group, milk, cheese and yogurt group, and meat, poultry, bean, and egg group. The group that is missing is the fruit group, but now pineapple and ham pizzas are becoming popular. As everyone knows the secret to great pizza is in the cheese. Besides its great taste, cheese gets a big thumbs up for good nutrition, contributing calcium, magnesium and vitamins B6 and B12. The calcium in a one eighth slice of pizza is about 116 milligrams (mg). Most kids eat 3 or 4 slices which would give them at least one serving from the milk group. A regular cheeseburger has about 111 mg. of calcium. Cheese in a small taco is about 221 mg. A glass of milk has about 300 mg. of calcium. The US Recommended Dietary Allowances of calcium for children in 800 mg. per day and for teens it is 1200 mg. per day. This translates to about 3 servings a day for children and 4 servings a day for teens. You can see that cheese contributes a lot of calcium to our diets and can be a good source. Whether you make the pizza yourself, eat pizzeria pizza or buy frozen pizza think about the amount of calcium you are getting by looking at the label or asking the restaurant for a nutrition sheet of their products. Learn how pizza contributes to our daily nutrient needs. The Southeast United Dairy Association, Inc. provides this information now in celebration of June Dairy Month. They offer recipes for a whole new breed of pizzas to include taco pizza, barbecue pizza and veggie pizza. Traditional Italian-flavored feast with ever-popular Mexican tastes. Serve Taco Pizza warm, with extra topping on the side for an even heavier accent. Or vary the ingredients a little or a different pizza personality.

Funeral services were held Monday, July 14 at Clore iJnsfiizinq ^VVoxcU : by Randy Minter TOE SORROW YET TO COME Just as it is said that into every life some rain must fall, so too are we all sure to endure sorrow. Does this mean that we should live in fear that someday our lives will come to grief? Hardly! We should, instead, cultivate the confidence that we can meet life's hardships and incorporate the lessons learned from them into our reservoir of wisdom. As Theodore Ledyard Cuyler surmised: 'To forecast our sorrows is only to increase the suffering without increasing our strength to bear them. Many of life's noblest enterprises might never have been undertaken if all the difficulties and defects could be foreseen." We should look into the future to see our ability to handle sorrow, rather than avoid it Kahil Gibran once pointed out that the deeper that sorrow carves a well into your being, the more joy you can contain. While this thought may not make our losses easier to bear, it is helpful to remember that loss affects us all and that great loss only comes when we have loved well. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME our facilities are spacious and thoughtfully appointed to offer a restful environment in which to receive your loved ones. We are here 24 hours a day at 347-3431 (233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton). We offer plots in Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, and memorials and monuments for all cemeteries.

Gardener’s resolutions By DR. DIANE RELF Extension Environmental Horticulturist Reflecting on the many issues and concerns of recent years, it is tempting to feel overwhelmed and rather helpless, to shrug off action with the attitude. I’m only one person, what can I do? But even in our own gardens, we can do much to address the problems of modern life. We can make a significant difference in our individual lives, and gardeners collectively could have an impact on many of the nation’s problems. Now is the time to make a commitment to the future with resolutions we will carry through. 1. Fight inflation. A wellplanned garden (30 by 50 feet), under optimum conditions, can be expected to yield up to $500 in produce (with no taxes to be paid). In addition, gardening is an inexpensive recreational activity that can be shared by the entire family. Landscaping can add 10 percent to 15 percent to the value of your property, and it is an investment that keeps growing. 2. Improve your families nutrition. The garden is not only an inflation fighter, it’s a source of highly nutritional foods that taste fresher and better when you grow them yourself. d. Conserve energy. By properly landscaping, you can reduce your air conditioning bill in the summer and heating bill in the winter. Learn about the use of trees and shrubs to modify your environment. 4. Reduce pollution. Your landscape can be useful in reducing air and water pollution. But be careful that in caring for your plants, you don’t become a chemical polluter. Many homeowners use more chemicals per square foot than farmers. Look for alternatives. 5. Protect the environment. Plan your landscape with food and shelter for wildlife, or incorporate wild flowers around your home. You will be richly rewarded. Don’t take more from the environment than you return to it. If you heat with wood, plant at least as many trees as you cut down, if not on your property then at schools, parks or other public places. 6. Conserve water. Clear, pure water is a product of a complex system and should not be wasted. Never simply run cold water down the drain, while waiting for it to turn hot. Save it for your house plants. Investigate the use of trickle irrigation for your garden. 7. Improve our educational system. Kids learn from more sources than just their teachers. Give a child a plant, and teach him or her how to care for it. Or make a larger commitment, and sponsor a 4-H garden project or school garden program. 8. Improve your community. Make your neighborhood more attractive by working with others. Start with an good-looking, well-kept landscape. If you have no space, plant a geranium or zinnia in a window box. p. Improve your health. Gardening is great preventative medicine. Not only does it provide physical activity, it also relieves many of the stresses and tensions of modern life. 10. Show you care. Share your horticultural skills and products with a friend. Then for a greater challenge, share them with a stranger — someone in a nursing home, halfway home, or local hospital — or a disadvantaged neighbor.
