The roofs at both schools have been continual problems over the years and will continue to need attention according to a comprehensive assessment presented last winter by Ramcorp. It compared the roofs to patchwork quilts with some pieces needing replacement sootier than others. Ramcorp mapped “the quilt” and recommended immediate removal and replacement of 7,000 square feet of the high school roof. For those who have not followed the latest saga of the roof, the lowest cost roof recommended was a membrane roof made of a synthetic rubber. “They are widely used but have not held up at the school partly due to improper installation or inadequate maintenance. Maintenance at the school is never adequate,” said school board member Rosa Crocker. The board decided instead to build a pitched roof that was convex (draining toward the outside walls instead of concave draining into the center of the roof). They decided on a wood truss roof with asphalt shingling and the lowest bid (which the board is required by law to accept) was See BOARD, Page A6 Long range planning for schools started By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board held a meeting July 17 to discuss future goals and planning. Initially there was a discussion about the language and details of the roof contract. Wise and Associates engineering firm is to advise the board on cost saving and inspect to see that work is done as stated in the contract. The building inspector is ■ only required to see that there is compliance with the building code. The board chose “Indy Green” for the roof color. Board member Ron Makela suggested that the board take out a building permit for the roof and that they check Hale and White’s license and insurance liability. So much of what the school deals with is urgent and only in the present said board member Rosa Crocker, and there is no time to discuss planning. The state dictates an enormous amount of longterm planning, but there is not provided time for us to discuss it, she said. She showed a video called “Blueprint for Success” produced by the National Center for Non-Profit Organizations. It highlighted the benefits of a planning process including a mission statement, assessment of the community needs and finances, development of resources and a final evaluation. Ms. Crocker suggested the board attend a Virginia School Boards Association workshop where they could brainstorm. “These are reportedly very good,” she said.

B&B changes get nod By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer After several months of discussion, a proposal and public hearing the Rappahannock Planning Commission approved changes it proposes to amend the zoning chapter of the county code pertaining to Bed and Breakfasts. Phil Irwin, president of the Rappahannock Area Association of Bed and Breakfasts, said, “I have no objection to the definition of Bed and Breakfast however, I do object to putting impositions on the degree of hospitality a B&B can provide.” He said food service is a very important part of a B&B’s total service. “I disagree with the concept of limiting it (the number of people who can be served at a meal). Nobody needs to police B&Bs. There is no history here of any B&B doing anything to harm public welfare. I think you should stay with the definition as it is.” Marianne and Charles Wilson, who own Thistle Hill Bed & Breakfast said that they have struggled at great expense to make their B&B attractive, successful and well respected. They feel, as Mr. Irwin said, that the ordinance should be left as it is. They also said B&Bs should be able to have events or weddings from! time to time if they desire to do so and if they are not allowed to the business would have to be sent to another county around us that could accommodate that type of event. They feel this is detrimental to the tourism business in the county. County Administrator John McCarthy said there is a provision to deal with big events on a permit basis. He said the B&Bs can serve as many meals as they See PLANNING, Page A6 Old Hag Bulletins Council Washing V?" w"""* ~s£;r’hharrdi, 1bwnofW™hin^hn UtUre°fthe Happenings Was Week Vol antee^ FireDenart ^ “U will be held at thT^rtment carnival Flint Hill.

Sheriff Gary Settle said the protective order, part of the new law, has been the most difficult part of the law for people here having to deal with it so far. The protective order is issued against the person deemed by law enforcement officials to be the aggressor at the scene. That person is restricted under the order from returning to the residence for 72 hours or until court convenes, whichever is later. In essence, Sheriff Settle said it means the person is banned from the home during that time period and the longer time will be recognized in lieu of the 72 hour period. In Rappahannock, that could mean up to two weeks since Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court only convenes every two weeks and domestic violence cases can only be heard in that court. Sheriff Settle said the order has already been violated in the county and they’re waiting to see what the court will rule on those cases. He said another facet of the new law is that the person who still resides at home with the children, if there are children involved, can make the decision as to whether or not the spouse can have visitation with the children until such time as the court rules on the case. Ib visit the children without permission to go on the property is a violation of the protective order. Sheriff Settle said the law was written the way it is to address the problems with domestic violence in cities and more densely populated areas where J&D court convenes daily and the only period they would need to worry about would be over the weekend, or 72 hours. And, the abuse can be physical, verbal, emotional, even stalking is covered under this new law. It’s not just for cases See VIOLENCE, Page A6 Law as of July 1: • Training standards established by DCJS in the handling of family abuse cases. • Mandatory arrest of primary aggressor on probable cause that assault and battery has occurred. • If an arrest is made, the individual arrested will be taken into custody and brought before a magistrate for charging. • Written report required if probable cause exists that an assault and battery has occurred, whether or not an arrest is made. • Make report available to the victim upon request of the victim. • May transport victim to hospital, safe shelter or magistrate upon request of the victim. • Provide victims with information and legal and community services available. • Mandatory petition for an emergency protective order. • Mandatory arrest on probable cause that a protective order has been violated. • Required written policies to implement the act to include: identification of primary aggressor; filing of reports; transport of victims; and information to victims. Law before: • None • Arrest authorized on probable cause that assault and battery against a family/household member occurred. • None • Written report required if reasonable grounds exist that assault and battery occurred, whether or not arrest is made. • Make report available to victim. • May transport victim to hospital, safe shelter or magistrate upon victim’s request. • None • May petition for an emergency protective order on reasonable grounds for probable danger of further assault. • Arrest authorized on probable cause that a protective order has been violated. • Required written report of incident.

Healing: A journey from executive to therapist By Lawrence James Rappahannock News Special Writer This is part two of a series profiling the Rappahannock Healing Arts Center staff. From boardroom to massage table is not an uncommon trip in today’s stress-filled workplace. For one young woman, however, it was the journey of a lifetime. Karen Loving has journeyed far and had many different jobs. Perhaps the most difficult thing she’s had to do was to decide if she could make the change from corporate executive to massage therapist. When Karen graduated from Columbia College in South Carolina with a degree in art she met and married Tad Loving and began a family- v They settled in nearby Culpeper County and she started a small special order bread business in her home. Her business, though success ful, met a premature end when Tad, who was working for a bank, got transferred to Williamsburg. They packed up and braved the move. Karen carried on with her prior business and conducted bread making classes as an outlet for creative energy. They were there only two years when Tad was transferred back to Culpeper. Upon returning to Culpeper, Karen began selling insurance as an independent sales agent and with hard work and a lot of determination became sales manager and then an executive. For the next 18 years she worked, learned and studied life. After 18 years of carrying a hectic work load Karen was feeling signs of bum out, she said. She wrestled with the idea of changing her profession to one less stressful and with a slower-paced work environment. She’d always been attract ed to the idea of working in a health related field and massage therapy seemed interesting and the type of slower paced work atmosphere she sought. But, she wasn’t sure how to make the switch. She’d be giving up a successful, highly profitable career for work that might not provide her with a livable income. But, the idea persisted. She went on a trip to Montana, meditated and came up with solutions as to how she could shuffle things around and achieve her new goals. They were not easy but attainable, she felt. And, with love and support from her family she managed to make her goals a reality and in 1994 graduated from the Virginia School of Massage in Charlottesville. Massage therapy has opened a new world for Karen. While at the school, she was introduced to a variety of ther apies, among them the Alexander Technique. She noticed that there was something distinctly different about the teachers who taught this technique. They appeared to Karen to almost float as they walked and their movements seemed effortless. The course for the technique was another 1600 hours and the first part of the course was spent re-leaming the fine art of balanced, elegant movement, which we all learn, more or less, by the time we’re two. We then spend the rest of our lives forgetting how effortless it can be to move about, Karen said. She felt it was exciting and the technique is widely used throughout Europe and the U.S. The Julliard School has 11 teachers who instruct the technique and the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass., has several. The medical profession is also taking notice of the technique. For Some random remarks for mid-July During the intense heat wave of mid-July, the T\ifted Titmouse calls incessantly, starting before sunrise and continuing right through until mid-day when the temperature is well into the ‘90s. The two-syllable call commences again in the late afternoon and continues until darkness silences him. I wonder about this bird. Is he starting a second brood? Maybe it’s all just a restatement of territoriality and a calling together of the family. Several young ones have been visiting the feeder along with the now not-sosleek adults. Bird behavior is an endlessly fascinating study with many questions going unanswered. Speaking of bird feeders. Readers plagued or blessed with squirrels, depending on the personal viewpoint, will find a recent booklet of interest. I did. Entitled: “Enjoying Squirrels More (Or Less),” it was published by the good folk who bring out the delightful and informative periodical, “Bird Watcher’s Digest” every other month. The colorful little booklet has a subtitle: “An Experts Guide to Backyard Squirrels (Whether You Love Them or Hate Them!)”. I was All Things Wild And Wonderful By John Trott The Virginia Naturalist particularly interested in the section that deals with how to discourage squirrels at the bird feeder. Written by squirrel authority Howard Youth, the book is a witty, readable account of the life history of the Gray Squirrel. Illustrated with beautiful photographs, the book also deals with gray squirrel relatives such as red squirrels ahd eastern chipmunks. I must admit it gave me a new viewpoint on a mammal I have been inclined to call ‘pesky’ along with other names un Updikes exhibited at show Justin Updike, Katie Updike and Scott Updike of Washington, Va. exhibited Angus cattle at the 1997 Eastern Regional Junior Angus Show in Harrisonburg, June 26-28, according to Richard Spader, executive vice president of the American Angus Association.

The cost will be well repaid by a richness of new information and awareness not to mention acquiring compatible new friends. Well known Virginia ornithologist, David Johnston, has just compiled a new publication for the American Birding Association. It is for those bird watchers who travel to see birds and is entitled: “A Birder’s Guide To Virginia.” I just received a copy from Dr. Johnston and it is a thorough description of where to go in our fine state to see birds. Each suggested locality is well described. There are directions for exactly how to get there along with the best time for a visit and a list of species likely to be encountered. The maps are detailed and easy to read. David Johnston’s book certainly made me want to get up and go.

I am happy to report that the grackles have moved out and away from my little bit of Flint Hill. During the last week only one or two have visited the feeder. They appear to be young ones hatched and grown up this year. The juvenile grackles lack the baleful yellow eye of adults. A male Indigo Bunting is again visiting the feeder. That is one bird I will never dismiss at a glance. The intense blue of the male is startling. I give each the same attention I did when they first arrived in May. No Time to Haul. Give Us A Call!

After reading the report made by the committee to the council and after looking over the county’s comprehensive plan a question arises. Why plan for the future of the town when the county already has? Or, better yet, why not enlist the aid of the county and work together to plan for the town’s future? Talking to the county about the issue of waste water has already come up. In fact, it has been suggested that a countywide study of the watershed be done. Another question that occurs after reading the report — why is an issue as important as the possible expansion of the town itself lumped together under the general category with tourism, housing and demographics? Considering the vocal opposition already express* anc1 the number of signatures on petitions against iev pansion of the town boundaries it seems obvious e possible expansion should have its own category. After ill, parking has its own category and the surveys done on it have found no problem there. Looking for attic photos The Rappahannock News wants attic photos and we’ll pay for them.

Special thanks go to The Inn for their donation of dinner for two, to Lillian Aylor for her donation of a handmade quilt, and to Settle’s Garage for their donation of an oil change and inspection. PAUL GALL Vice President, Headwaters Remembering water issue The large amount of letters to the editor concerning the Fourth of July celebration in Little Washington have inspired me to point out what others have not mentioned. The Fourth of July is a yearly ritual that both bonds and identifies us as Americans. This ritual helps to remind us of our past and inspire us for our future. In Rappahannock we are blessed with long lasting ordinances and caring people that are protecting and promoting a relatively pristine environment. It is important at a time as momentous as the Fourth of July to be aware of this environmental context and to honor it by crafting our celebration to pass on the correct message. Mr. William Carrigan has so generously offered the Rappahannock community and its neighbors the use of his land and pond so that we may come together and perform our yearly ritual. We come, gazing blissfully at the r rolling fields and tree filled mountains, sit down on his land and watch in awe as the glorious colors explode into the sky. This is very important for our patriotic morale. The message we are sending is also important. By placing fire works so close to water, and even lighting some so that they are held mere inches above the water, we are going against everything that Rappahannock stands for. It is not only that the fire works are being released directly next to the water, so that debris enters the pond, but there were even ground fireworks attached to the dock that expelled fire, ash and chemicals directly into the lake. The environmental integrity of having a bonfire next to the lake, burning the boxes in which the fire works came, is also questionable. The point that is being made here is bigger than this particular pond. We must realize that the way in which this celebration is executed is defining the norm for those that are witnesses and, as our yearly identifying ritual, it is also laying the foundation for what this and following generations find acceptable. Rappahannock, a community so close to the capital of the United States, has held its ground for years against development that is closing in on all sides. In addition this community is actively fighting against environmental degradation. This is commendable. We need to become increasingly aware of our actions so we may maintain and continue this commendable position. There are many within this community that are putting an incredible amount of energy into preserving the water we are so casually giving permission to corrupt. Let us follow these environmentalists’ lead, continue to move forward and work toward sustaining our beautiful environment by respecting not only Mr. Carrigan’s generosity but promoting a message that says it is not OK to treat our water systems and our land systems as tools to be exploited for our use. They must be maintained and nourished for the well-being of this entire planet so that there will be generations to come. DAFNA LAURIE Woodville Bumps don’t bother all I take exception to a statement on traffic by one of your “Contributing Writers.” “What about speed bumps: — everyone hates them.” Not so, dear writer, not so. I positively dote on speed bumps and have seen the good results of their proper use.

SARAH LATHAM Amissville School board challenged As a 1994 graduate of Rappahannock High School, I would like to issue a call to action to the county’s school board. On Saturday, July 19, with little fanfare or publicity, a group of 13 people gathered at a home in Washington, Va. for Rappahannock’s first lesbian and gay pride event. Lesbians, gays, their families and friends came from miles around to my mother’s front yard and made a strong and powerful statement: We must protect lesbian and gay students in our nation’s school. Among those attending a screening of the landmark film’s It’s Elementary: Talking About Gay Issues in School were three graduates of the county’s school system. Two (including myself) were gay students who faced humiliating anti-gay harassment during our high school years, and one was a heterosexual graduate who was appalled at the treatment her gay classmate received in the halls of Rappahannock High. I am asking that the county’s school board view Debra Chasnoff’s groundbreaking film and that they issue a strong statement to teachers that anti-gay harassment should not be tolerated in the halls of our schools, and that Rappahannock values all students and strives to provide a hate-free and safe learning environment. 1 X ail I aiou motiving fcUl Ulier to members of the board. I will donate Ms. Chasnoff’s film to you for viewing. I will also be willing to attend a school board meeting with members and teachers present to discuss the terrible treatment that I received at the hands of classmates who voiced anti-gay hatred towards me throughout the school day, and to discuss what action I feel teachers should have taken to prevent this disgraceful behavior. Whether we acknowledge it or not, there are other gay and lesbian students in Rappahannock classrooms today who are facing the same discrimination I did. These students need protection from hatred, and a safe environment in which to learn. I can only hope that the county’s school board will see to it that these conditions are provided. STEVE E.

Resurgence of interest in the growing of herbs By Jean S. Kane Master Gardener In colonial times, few Virginia homes were without extensive herb gardens. Seeds, leaves or stems of the herb plants added flavor to foods and beverages, provided perfumes, and were the basis of essential medicinal home remedies. Today’s gardener does not have this same practical need to grow herbs. Few herbs have showy flowers that create any degree of display in the garden. For these reasons, herb gardening decreased in popularity quite dramatically for many years. Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in growing herbs. While there are innumerable herbs that the gardener might grow, this column will concentrate on just a few that I consider indispensable for cooking. These include basil, parsley, thyme, sage, chives, rosemary, and tarragon. Of these, basil is a tender annual and parsley is a biennial. All others are perennial, though rosemary sometimes winter-kills in this area, and therefore might be treated as an annual. Basil is an annual herb native to India, and is essential to Italian cooking. As many as 50 to 60 species of basil are known. Basil grows readily from seed, and the first cuttings of leaves are available just six weeks after germination. The main stem is very stiff, and the plant is extensively branched as it continues to grow throughout the season. The pointed and slightly serrated leaves look as though they had been folded along the central vein, so that the two halves of each leaf face one another. Some varieties are largeleafed while others have very small leaves; these may be a slightly yellow-green, or a deep purple. The plants begin to flower in late July and continue producing many whorls one above another at the tips of the branches throughout the remainder of the season. Basil is very tender and is among the first plants to be blackened by early light frosts, it pairs especially well with tomatoes, and is an essential ingredi ent of pesto sauce. Parsley is also readily grown from seed. However, germination requires four to six weeks. Soaking the seed in tepid water for twenty-four hours before sowing shortens that time only slightly. Therefore, it is advisable to start seed indoors, or to set out purchased plants. In the second year, the plant sends up flower stems in early spring; as the flower develops, it is reminiscent of Queen Anne’s Lace, but is yellow-green rather than white. No useful kitchen herb can be obtained once that occurs, so that parsley needs to be treated as an annual for kitchen use. It grows readily in most garden soils, but cannot be readily moved once established because it is tap-rooted. Parsley is available in either the curlyleafed variety or the plain Italian flat-leafed variety; the latter is the more flavorful of the two. Sprigs of parsley are universally used to garnish meat platters and chopped parsley is sprinkled on soups and omelets. Parsley is always included in the French mixture of herbs known as “fines herbes”; the other herbs in the mixture may be chervil and chives, basil and chives, or bumet and thyme. Thyme is a handsome plant, frequently used for edging garden walks. The plant is native to southern Europe, and will die back somewhat in winter in this area. However, it usually comes out again in early spring. It is a dainty subshrub growing to only six inches high, and is a favorite of the honeybee. Very small rosy pink flowers appear in spikes at the tips of branches in May, and again in mid-summer if the plant is cut back after the first bloom. The leaves are very small, wider at the base than at the tip, and grayish-green. Common thyme grows readily from seed; however, some of the variegated and horticultural varieties should be propagated from cuttings. - - Thyme is a must for New England clam chowder; it is used extensively with other herbs in flavoring roasts and chops.

Board From Page A1 from Hale and White of Louisa. After winning the bid Hale and White proposed a prefabricated metal roof at significant savings. The board decided they needed a third party to advise them. Wise and Associates, an engineering consultant, was hired and met with the board on July 15 for the first time and presented their assessment of the high school roof. The high school was built in the 1950s and is structurally sound, as long as there isn’t too much snow on the roof. There is also a problem with 50 percent of the ceiling insulation being saturated. Wise and Associates suggested three options: • Stay with the current proposal to remove the old roofs including unplugging one of the roof drains which had been covered over with one of the previous roofs, cover with a 45 ml. membrane to protect from the rain, professionally remove the asbestos, evaluate the roof, and install prefabricated wood trusses and metal covering all by Aug. 25. A breakdown of costs follows: a. Bidding, bonding, supervision, utilities, temporary facilities, green box, transportation, mobilization, management, overhead and profit, $27,571. b. Site work including demolition asbestos abatement, temporary cover, scaffold, $56,700. c. Steel including setting structural angles, connectors and anchors, $6512. d. Carpentry, light gauge steel framing and structural pre-finished roofing, spotlight room hatch alterations, draft stop and hatches, $69,801. e. Thermal and moisture protection including snow guards, gutter/cornice assembly, down spout leaders and insulation, $18,990. f. Finishes, including painting rusted deck and structural steel, $275. g. HVAC, relocation of AC units from upper to adjacent lower roofs, $9,500. • Try to save a few dollars on this proposal. One suggestion was that two walls with metal studs intended to stop drafts in case of fire be eliminated unless the building code requires them. • Remove the old roofs and insulation and build a lower pitched (1 in 12) Galvalune roof with a simpler design that would not have the ridges and valleys the current proposal includes. This would increase the structural strength and save money. It would, however, take longer than the Aug. 25 deadline. Board chair Dr. John Tole mentioned that if the completion date was not by Aug. 25, it would have to wait until next year. He regretted not starting earlier to explore the roofing possibilities. William Hale, of Hale & White, urged the board not to delay so he could begin work on the roof. He has already ordered materials that were going to be delivered in two weeks. The asbestos removal people are standing by and he said he hopes his people don’t quit. He mentioned he thought he could save money in several areas. A vote was taken to go ahead with the second option, that is to stay with the current proposal, but use Wise and Associates to find ways to cut costs. In other board business: • Raye Tupper asked the board to approve a request for a $92,720 grant for Title 1. She was happy all the people working for the program would be able to continue working. The vote to request that amount was unanimous. • A general leave resolution was passed unanimously which simplifies sick leave, emergency leave and personal leave by lumping them all into general leave which is accrued. • Mrs. Tupper also requested to change the elementary school emergency medical form by eliminating the questions about students driving to school and the hospital preference. The proposal to change it according to her request was passed. • A lengthy discussion between the board and the audience about the final exam exemption continued for about 45 minutes. The matter was referred to a committee. • The method of recording overtime compensation was handed over to Mrs. Biggs to look into. • The board decided to meet for a workshop to do long-range planning. • The schedule of summer repairs shows that much is in progress including painting, cleaning and floor refinishing. Bridge work scheduled Wilkins Construction Company of Amherst plans to begin construction of improvements to the Route 683 bridge across the Rush River at Washington, Va., this month. During the time it takes the contractor to remove and replace the deck of the bridge the road will be closed to through traffic. The secondary route is an old loca tion of U.S. 211 and carries traffic between the Rappahannock County Library and U.S. 211 Business into the Town of Washington. Until the road is reopened, traffic will have to use U.S. 211 Business and U.S. 211 Bypass to the library. Contract cost is $233,200. Completion is expected late this year.

He said there are still many gray areas but the new proposal is trying to address the most obvious and recurring problems. Commission chair Sharon Pierce said, “As I understand it, we’re not tying in B&Bs with the commercial code. Under the building codes, if you have any work going on and serve more than eight people you are in violation and under the health department regulations if you serve more than 12 at a time you are in violation. Once you go over those numbers you are in the commercial code area.” Commission member Dr. Werner Krebser said if a B&B desires to serve more than the allotted number of people they can apply for lodge or inn status accordingly. The matter will now go to the Board of Supervisors who will ultimately decide what the final verdict will be. The commission also approved an application by Lorin and Dietlinde Maazel for a special exception permit to operate a private and/or home schooling cooperative for more than 25 students which will be the Hearthstone Whole Family Learning Center, together with a music camp and other associated educational activities. The Maazels applied for two permits, one for a temporary facility which will be located on 73.599 acres on their farm and the other for a permanent facility to be located on 184.8940 acres, also on their farm. The first facility will have no more than 30 students, and the second, or permanent facility, a maximum of 45 students. The Maazels are paying for the renovations to open the temporary school and the permanent school will be funded through the Chateau Ville Foundation. They hope to Peebles CnmtFtahnn. Gn* Prices.

They will review the temporary site application in two years. The applications will now go to the Board of Supervisors for consideration. The commission also approved a request for rezoning by *' Mabel and John Pendleton of Flint Hill. They sought to rezone a property from agricultural to residential. The commission found that the request was compatible with the county comprehensive plan since the property is within the ultimate village area of Flint Hill. An application to change the Belle Meade Bed and Breakfast to Belle Meade Country Inn and an application for Belle Meade School were tabled until next month because the site plan for the application was not received in time for the commissioners to review it thoroughly. In old business the commission appointed members Mike Massie, Tom Junk and Susan Babcock to review the two proposals for changes to the Conservation Zoning Ordinance, one by the Planning Commission and the other by Mike Massie, and see if they can bring the two proposals closer together. They hope to get the proposal finished for final approval to the Board of Supervisors. The matter will be looked at next month. /; [eeve & cWestem Shirts Cchvboy Cut Denim } '.‘Reg./Slims f.

The sheriff said there are still things to be worked out with it concerning the rural areas, like Rappahannock, where time between court dates is considerable. He said neighboring jurisdictions, such as Madison County, have also had their problems with the new laws. Sheriff Settle said he recognizes there are unanswered questions pertaining to the law in this area and they are trying to work out solutions. He said the new law also requires his staff to do more work and the paperwork is very involved. The victim now will be granted access to some of the reports and will be made aware of what is happening during the entire case. The new procedure should help give the victims a better sense of closure. Sheriff Settle said that although the law is severe he feels in the long run it will better address the real problem of domestic violence and help people better work out their relationships. And in that sense, he feels it is a move in the right direction and will have a more positive effect down the road. He feels the result will be that each jurisdiction will have separate issues they’ll work through. Here the commonwealth’s attorney, attorneys who represent people here and law enforcement officials are already working on the situation. He said we’re fortunate to have good working relationships here between the attorneys, judges and law enforcement personnel.

Franklin Schmidt Rappahannock News Contributing Writers A summer sun that melted ice cream cones before the first lick, shone on freshly cut flowers carefully arranged in white enamel water pitchers and caused an enormous consumption of liquids, also brought out party-goers, picnickers, music lovers and • Democrats from a 10-county radius. A week ago Saturday, in a musical afternoon in support of Democratic candidates, Virginians from Arlington, Prince William, Warren, Fauquier, Culpeper and Mad-ison coun! ties came to Rappahannock County — to White Walnut Hill in Woodville. They came to hear Lt. Governor Don Beyer in a dual role: as candidate for Gov1 emor and as back-up guitarist , for Rappahannock’s own and , nationally acclaimed leader of 2 Trapezoid, Paul Reisler. They also came to hear another Rappahannockian of national prominence, singer and guitarist, John Jackson who sang both solo and in tandem with Mr. Reisler. And they came to support Paul J. Asciolla, resident and i school board member from Fauquier, and Culpeper teacher, who is running as a fiscally conservative, politically moderate candidate for the House of Delegates in opposition to Republican incumbent, and former federal State Department official, Jay Katzen. While crowds were forming outside for the “Democratic Homecoming,” a reception was held in the home of Larry and Joy O’Rourke for Lt. Gov. Beyer. After greeting the guests, Lt. Gov. Beyer pledged himself, as governor,. to maintain the rural traditions and environmental heritage of Rapp-ahannock and surrounding counties. Meanwhile, outside, music lovers descended and brought a variety of their best covered dishes to share while enjoying shaded respite from the July sun. At the height of the midday sun, an undaunted parade of musicians and community leaders made their way to the stage. After greetings by Mr. O’Rourke and Rappahannock County Democratic chair Franklin R. Schmidt, campaign coordinator Patrick Allen introduced Mr. Asciolla. In what Lt. Gov. Beyer later described as a “passionate speech,” Mr. Asciolla called for support in his election bid to bring back financial responsibility to the public school system, save our environment from corporate polluters who are protected under the current Republican leadership in Richmond. He called for “a return to a traditional Virginia government of moderation and rebuke of the zealots who have taken charge.” Then, in a stirring musical • moment, Mr. Reisler played SPEECH: Lt. Gov. Donals Beyer addresses his supporters at the homecoming held at White Walnut Hill in Woodville. and Marylander, Lea Gilmore, sang. Lt. Gov. Beyer spoke next. He spoke of his experience as a businessman and of his love for Rappahannock’s countryside.

Theatre’s fall season full of jazz BY WENDY WIENBERG Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Charlie Byrd, the legendary guitarist, will return to the Theatre at Washington to kick off the Theatre’s fall season on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 4 p.m. When Charlie played at the Theatre earlier this year, some of the Theatre’s patrons from Rappahannock were disappointed to find that all 230 seats for the show had been sold out well in advance. So this monthly column from the Theatre is by way of giving advance notice to Rappahannock News readers that Charlie Byrd will be back — and those anxious to hear his concert may wish to make reservations early. Indeed, the Theatre could easily have sold out twice over when Charlie Byrd was here in the spring. He kindly agreed to the many, many requests which the Theatre received, and passed on to him, that he come back to play again soon. There clearly is a strong audience demand for good, live jazz at the Theatre. And this time, we will hear an all-jazz program from the Charlie Byrd Trio. The concert on Sept. 7 will be by way of starting a mini-series of jazz at the Theatre: it will be followed by two later jazz concerts, one in October and one in December. Chuck Redd, who plays vibes in the Charlie Byrd Trio, will return to the Theatre the following month, on Saturday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m., with his own Chuck Redd Quartet. They will perform an evening of jazz classics and swing. Chuck last played at the Theatre several years ago, in a jazz ensemble from the Smithsonian. Dixieland jazz will be featured in December, when the Joe Rinaldi Quintet comes to the Theatre for the first time. Their concert will be held on Saturday, Dec. b at 8 p.m. Tickets for each jazz concert are $14 with advance reservation, $15 at the door (if not sold out). Tickets for the complete jazz miniseries of three concerts can be booked for $40. As always, tickets for students 18 and under are half price. For those who cannot afford full-price tickets, the Theatre makes half-price or free tickets available — early reservations are required for these tickets. The Theatre’s complete fall program schedule from September through December 1997, including the listing of monthly films presented by RAAC, is now available at the Theatre. Copies of the fall schedule may be picked up from the baskets outside the Theatre, or will be mailed on request. For reservations for the jazz series, or further information about the schedule, please phone 675-1253. would have ready access to computers, how he didn’t believe that there should be more than 15 students, for each teacher and that the criminal justice system should be supported by “smart money” that would build methods of prevention and intervention not merely to construct prisons. Then he gave the avid listeners what they had been waiting for, a musical tribute led by Mr. Reisler and Ms. Gilmore. Noting that he hadn’t practiced his guitar for a total of an hour in the last 20 years, he played admirably. Mr. Asciolla couldn’t resist joining in an met the audience’s voices with the Reisler-Beyer duet of “Blowin’ in the Wind.” While Lt. Gov. Beyer made his way through the crowd (45 minutes after he “had” to leave), Mr. Jackson shared the stage with Mr. Reisler to the stunned delight of everyone. Then, local instrumentalist and singer, Joel Tate, joined in. Mr. Jackson, after a bit, left the stage and strummed under a shade tree as picnickers sat cross-legged, soaking up his and Mr. Reisler’s impromptu renditions. ssssss Mr. Asciolla, his wife and children, joined others in the O’Rourke’s pool. Watermelon rinds filled the waste baskets, the remnants of two five-gallon buckets of ice cream were tossed way, the empty cans reflecting more than 25 cases of soft drinks were put in recycling bags as Rappahannock Democrats and music lovers policed the grounds after the event wound up. The hot July sun was about to set as the air, still filled with the scent of grilling hot dog and musical sounds never heard before, cooled, just a little, in Woodville. _I Lika J HEART TO HEART: From left, Lt. Gov. Beyer talks with Pat and Arthur Fillebrown and Lee Bird of Rappahannock during the event. Headwaters presents mini-grants In June, Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation, presented its first mini-grants to two county teachers. These grants were given in response to applications distributed to county teachers in the spring of 1997. After reviewing the six completed applications, Rappahannock County Elementary School sixth grade teacher Ed Rissler and kindergarten teacher Marty Cannon were awarded grants. Mr. Rissler plans to use his grant to set up a recycling program this fall at RCES. There are four grades at the school that have specific standards of learning related to recycling. His program will give the children a chance to learn with actual hands-on experience. This project will start with focusing on recycling aluminum cans. Initial start up costs, which mainly involve facilities for storage, are covered by the grant. Mr. Rissler expects the project to be selfsupporting, and possibly create a profit which could be used to purchase additional classroom science equipment. Mrs. Cannon will use her Photo Courtesy ot Headwaters MINI-GRANTS: From left, Capt.

Her students will develop language, reasoning, organization, math concepts and science principals each time they build with the blocks. These durable blocks will be used for many years. Headwaters will distribute more grant applications in the fall to RCES and RCHS teach ers. The organization sees thiq as a chance to implement its mission, which is “to foster education excellence by cultivating the cooperative spirit and resources of the whole community to benefit all students.” For more information about Headwaters 675-1819 or write to Headwaters, P.O.

Pickle making season Nothing can be more pleasing than a pantry shelf lined with pickles and relishes. This is the season to begin that process, to prepare for the fall and winter months, which will approach before we care to think about cooler temperatures and winter days. If you grab a cookbook, you will find many pickle and relish recipes, some which sound a bit complex to me. All books and experts will tell you to follow the guidelines carefully and that practice will gain the best end results. I must confess that pickle making has never been a skill that I have mastered with much satisfaction. However, I thought it would be great to contact area ladies to seek their advice and recipes. Most will tell you immediately to select cucumbers that are specially designed for pickling. These are the varieties that will yield crunchier pickles and will keep the best. Experts say that hollow pickles are caused by cucumbers that are not fresh and not developed to their fullest. Shriveled pickles are the result of a strong solution of salt, sugar and/or vinegar. Soft pickles are due to not enough salt or vinegar or the Recipe i i Corner I By Barbara Wayland processing bath was not correct. Pickles are not limited to cucumber, there are many fruit pickles as well, peach and watermelon are favorites. Zucchini pickles and all sorts of relishes are favorites among Rappahannock cooks. Several recipes have been selected and we hope you enjoy the pickling season. .Dill Pickles 1/2 pound 4-inch pickling cucumbers (5 or 6 cucumbers) 4 to 6 heads fresh dill 1 teaspoon mustard seed 1 3/4. cups water 3/4 cup cider vinegar 1 tablespoon pickling salt Thoroughly rinse cucumbers. Remove stems and cut off a slice from each blossom end. Pack cucumbers loosely into a hot, sterilized quart jar, leaving a 1/2 inch head space. Add dill and mustard seed. Make a brine by combing water, vinegar, and salt. Bring to boiling. Pour hot brine over cucumbers, leaving a 1/2 inch head space. Adjust lid. Process in a boiling-water canner for 15 minutes. Let stand one week before opening. Makes 1 quart. Watermelon Rind Pickles 7 pounds watermelon rind 3 1/2 pounds sugar • 1/2 teaspoon oil of cloves 1/2 teaspoon oil of cinnamon 1 pint vinegar 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon powdered alum First Day: Peel and cut rind in small pieces, add salt and alum.

Recipe from the late Mrs. Arthur Miller, used with permission from daughter, Eve Willis, Washington Methodist women to lead Sunday service On Sunday, July 27, the United Methodist Women will lead the 11 a.m. service at the United Methodist Church in Amissville. The unit will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the United Methodist Women. Their mission projects especially touch the lives of women and children both in the United States and overseas. Some of the heritage of the group within the church will be recounted. A reading of the early classes formed by John Wesley, which often developed By GLENDA GUM ■into churches, will be rendered. The community is invited to attend this special service. As a new service, Amissville Baptist Church is Jason Grigsby joins Navy Jason T. Grigsby of Washington has enlisted in the United States Navy for guaranteed training in the Navy’s Apprenticeship Program. Grigsby is the son of Floyd Grigsby of Washington and Monica Dunivin of Montclair. He is a 1997 graduate of Rappahannock County High School. Grigsby will attend basic training at Naval Training Center Great Lakes, 111. Following a successful completion of recruit training, Grigsby will receive training as a Navy seaman apprentice. Under this program, persons who have not chosen a specific career field receive general shipboard and nautical training prior to being assigned to a Navy ship. Once shipboard, they may then train in a job, or request additional Navy schooling in a field they are qualified for. According to the staff at Navy Recruiting Station Culpeper, Grigsby will, upon completion of training, be assigned to one of the Navy’s ships or stations around the world.

However, Oscar Wide gave the word a different slant which brings to mind a certain degree of intolerance for the practices of others. "Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. And unselfishness is letting other people's lives alone, not interfering with them. Selfishness always aims at creating around it an absolute uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognizes infinite variety of type as a delightful thing, accepts it, acquiesces in it, enjoys it" Perhaps the world would be a better place if we did not wish it to be created in our own images. It isn't selfish to care for oneself, especially when one is moving . through a difficult transition, such as loss of a loved one. Taking care j of yourself, by giving yourself the support you need only can ensure that you have the energy left to give to others you love and value. It helps, sometimes, to reach out to ask for what you need, because in so doing, you allow others the gift of loving you. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we offer a number of preplanning options for those who want to ensure their wishes are followed and their families are taken care of. Call 347-3431 for answers to your questions.
