McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Town Wastewater Study Committee Chairman Charles Tbmpkins wants Mother Nature to join his team. “I’ve said over and over again in public forum” that an agnculture-based wastewater treatment system could be the best way for the town to go. Based on Mr. Tompkins’ committee’s research, “a multi-million dollar treatment facility on the Rush River is totally impractical. That’s the Rush River,” he said pointing out the drought-stricken stream on the edge of town. “There’s no way” treated effluent could be recycled into it. Experts agree. Since last November, the Town Council has been seriously investigating potential solutions to drain field problems in the center of town. A needs assessment study conducted in April 1997 by environmental consultants Resource International, Ltd., of Ashland, concluded that the existing onlot wastewater disposal systems are failing due to a combination of critical factors including population density, unsuitable soil conditions, natural storm water drainage patterns, and inadequate lot or drainage field size. % Surface water sampling performed during the course of the study indicated that, while the problems could be expected to increase over time, pollution of the town’s water supply was not an immediate concern. However, the consultants strongly recommended that the town address wastewater disposal in both near- and long-term planning. A planned sanitation survey by the County Health Department had to be postponed and consolidated with an income survey in order not to See WATER, Page A8 It fits just fine Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN Case Kramer sits in the firefighters’ seat in the new attack pumper recently purchased by the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and commissioned in a ceremony this past Sunday.

Drug bust made By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Seven people were arrested in a drug bust on Friday night, Aug. 22 at a residence east of Cross Creek off U.S. 211 in Culpeper County. The Rappahannock Sheriffs Office cooperated with the PD-9 Drug Task Force and the Culpeper Sheriffs Office, said Rappahannock Sheriff Gary Settle. The Virginia State Police executed a search warrant for the residence. The warrant was the result of a lengthy investigation by the Task Force focusing on cocaine distribution in the Culpeper, Warrenton, Rappahannock area, said Lt. Rollin V. Rosser of the State Police Tuesday. The police seized over two ounces of crack cocaine, with a street value of $3,000. They also seized one pound of marijuana, with a street value of $1,800 and over $2,500 in cash. The seven people arrested were arrested on a total of 10 charges. The State Police would not release the names of those arrested due to their ongoing investigation, said Lt. Rosser. The charges, however, include possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute, possession of marijuana See BUST, Page A8 A case of wronff place, wrong time By Jan LaValley ^ Rappahannock News Staff Writer His attorney said it was a case of running with the wrong crowd and not being “terribly bright.” The Commonwealth’s attorney said he knew what he was doing and the evidence tied him to the crimes. The jury agreed with the Commonwealth’s attorney. Roy Allen Thomas Jr., 25, of Hume, was found guilty of Jtwo counts of breaking and entering, two counts of grand larceny and one count of theft of a firearm. Mr. Thomas said he was not guilty last week before the Circuit Court in Rappahannock and his lawyer, Roy D. Bradley, said it was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people. Mr. Thomas had partici pated in three incidents ofi breaking and entering in Rappahannock in the later part of 1995. The first occurred on Nov. 17, ‘95 at the home of Andrew Pratt. Mr. Pratt testified that his home was burglarized. When he returned home from Manassas that day, he said, he found a small hole in the front door. After going inside he noticed some things were missing — an Olympus OM1 camera, an 80-200 mm lens, a 50 mm lens, a wide angle lens, filters, camera bag and a Vivitar flash. In addition a case of computer CDs, coins and a Ruger handgun with foldingstock were missing. A pawnbroker’s slip from Pawnbroker’s of Manassas, dated the same day, for the camera items had Mr. Thomas’ signature on it. A wit ness and salesman from the pawnbroker’s said " Mr. Thomas was the man who pawned the camera items. Mr. Thomas admitted to pawning the items but said he had been given them by friends of his — Wayne Beard and John Banton. He said they had done the actual breaking and entering, and. taking of merchandise, in all the incidents he was involved in. The other incidents were a case of breaking and entering at the home of James and Bonnie Lofton on Nov. 21, *95 and a breaking and entering at the Kelly W. Comfort residence on Nov. 24, ’95. At the Lofton home a fax machine was taken and at the Comfort home a Mosby 12 gauge shotgun. Mr. Thomas said he never went in the homes. However in two separate taped conver- *. sations, with Major Rick MacWelch of the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office, one in January ‘96 and the other in March ‘96, he told a different story. He admitted to having participated in the crimes and to knowing what was planned before they got there to burglarize the homes. Mr. Thomas had made the confessions as part of an agreement he had with the Fauquier Sheriff’s Office to testify against Mr. Banton and Mr. Beard for similar crimes committed in . Fauquier County involving the three men. However, when Mr. Thomas got on the witness stand he changed his testimony and tried to minimize his part in the crimes.

Tayloe Murphy Jr. at the first conference and summit on the Rappahannock River Basin held Aug. 20 at the WaiterGrant Middle School in Fredericksburg. And their decisions will affect the rest of the basin, he said. Rappahannock Supervisors Hubert S. Gilkey, Robert Anderson and Charles K. “Pete” Estes attended the conference along with County Administrator John McCarthy. Senator Murphy was named “Legislator of the Year” by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. He is the author of the Water Quality Improvement Act of 1997. His speech those at the conference was inspiring. The decisions that affect land use will allow or prevent sprawl, he cautioned the audience. How the land is treated is how we treat our waters, he said. Ecosystems should be handled in their entirety, but there is yet to be a comprehensive land management program for protecting water quality, he said. He reported that the state spends less than three quarters of one percent of the general fund budget on natural resource conservation and environmental programs. “For years Virginia’s acted outside of the See SUMMIT, Page A8 Niche marketing The chartering; face of tourism By Theresa O’Neil Knight Rappahannock News Special Writer This is the second story in a series of stories looking at tourism in and around Rappahannock. Framed advertisements from the 1920s grace the diesk of Martha Steger, director of public relations for the Virginia Tourism Corporation. Bearing simple pen and ink drawings of famous Virginia attractions such as St. John’s Church, Natural Bridge and Monticello, the ads represent the state’s maiden efforts to attract tourism revenue. Steger said those first attempts have evolved into a sophisticated marketing campaign designed to capitalize on one of America’s favorite pastimes - tourism. Public and private sector promotion has helped turn tourism into the third largest industry and source of employment in the state. Steger said a lot has changed since the early days. “Back then, shopping was something the masses did for necessity. Today it is done for pleasure. Antique and specialty shops are a huge draw,” she said. “If you go back to the beginning, tourism was taken for granted. It was known that people traveled, but they were not targeted. Then, in the late 20s, with the restoration of Williamsburg, tourism sites began to have ‘brand name’ recognition. And for a long time Williamsburg attracted the largest number of visitors. “Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive changed things as well! Especially in the last 10 years there has been enormous growth in tourism to small communities. We are trying to spur partnerships between regions with similar assets such as hiking and canoeing or historic attractions,” said Steger. The state is even marketing on the Internet at www.virginia.org, although its listings for Rappahannock are incom plete at best - The Inn at Little Washington is not listed, but full color photographs and rates for numerous inns such as the Conyers House are included. The only event listing on the calendar is for a Ki Theatre song-writing workshop in October. There are some impressive aspects of the site, however, among them sections in German, Spanish, French and Japanese. There are few specific “hot spots” or peak times for tourism in Virginia, said Steger. Instead, “it has spread out more evenly across the state and across the four seasons.” While winter visitors tend to come in somewhat lower numbers, they also “tend to stay longer and spend more money,” she noted. To even out the peaks I and valleys, ski resorts such as Massanutten and Wintergreen have successfully marketed their facilities as See TOURISM, Page AS

Healing 5: The ‘music lady” of Rappahannock By Lawrence James Rappahannock News Special Writer This is the fifth in a continuing series profiling the staff of the Rappahannock Healing Arts Center. On Wednesday afternoons for what the residents term a “wonderful hour” the Oak Springs Rest Home comes alive with the sound of music. It wafts down halls, around corners and penetrates the inner recesses of those listening to its melodic strains. The music is courtesy of the skilled hands of Beth Levick a woman who makes music with a difference. Beth is not only a musician and composer, she is a bioharmonic practitioner for Rappahannock Healing Arts Center. She believes in the healing power of music. Beth was bom in Pulaski, N.Y., and moved to the Commonwealth to attend Ferrum College. After graduation from college, with a degree in music, she attended Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pa. There she earned a B.A. in music with a major in voice and a minor in piano. She later attended Shenandoah University to obtain her teaching certification. During this time she was also working part time jobs and giving private lessons in order to pay for her continuing education. Her commitment to music is very powerful, she said. After receiving her certification at Shenandoah, she moved to Rappahannock County and secured a job teaching music in the public school system for a year. After that she was music teacher for two years at Spring Mountain School, a private institution in Washington, Va. It was shortly after moving to Rappahannock that Beth met and married Lee Levick. They have two children, Cara, 14, and Rudy, 11, who attend Rappahannock public schools. Lee, who owns Levick Construction, is a self-employed contractor. For a long time, Beth said, she stayed home, taking care of the family. But she still gave private music lessons in voice, piano, harp and guitar. She also began to compose original music opening a new dimension for herself. Beth has started several singing and instrumental groups since she came to the county. The first, an a cappella vocal group, formed in 1979 and performed madrigals, Motown, gospel, folk and music of the ‘30s and ‘40s. In 1994, she formed the Rappahannock Quintet, which blended the music of cello, flute, harp, dulcimer and violin. At first this group played only original compositions by Beth, but they have since incorporated original music by all members of the group. Last September, Beth read an article aboud a woman from Virginia Beach, Ka^hryil Thompson, and what she was doing withHbioharmonics. Beth was drawn to the idea of using music to form a new kind of therapy. The technique is based on well-researched methods to use the curative quality of music for therapeutic purposes. Beth attended workshops conducted by Ms. Thompson and is now a fully certified bioharmonics practitioner. She even uses a computer to aid her in achieving balance and harmony for the body by having her clients speak into the microphone on the computer. It then utilizes bio-feedback equipment to analyze the sound of the voice, breaking down the individual notes and counting frequency of those notes. That is plotted out and determines notes and sounds which produce harmony and balance for that specific individual. Those notes are then used for the therapy. Next month, she plans to start another vocal group, which has not been named as yet but which will be a healing sound choir, Beth said. The difference between this group and others she has been involved with is that this group’s purpose will be to provide a warm nurturing process and environment that will allow listeners to participate in the actual singing. She believes anyone can sing, “If you can talk, you can sing.” Every other Sunday night, beginning Sept. 14, everyone interested, from youth to adult, is invited to visit the RHAC and participate in the group singing. Beth may be reached at the RHAC, 675-3108. Moving South: The fall migration Two Rose-breasted Grosbeaks outside my study window two days ago reminded me of an unwelcome reality. Summer is winding down; fall migration has begun. Millions of birds will be moving south toward winter in the tropics: Mexico, Central and South America. I wanted summer to go on and on. Robert Frost summed it up wonderfully well in the last stanza of his poem: “Reluctance.” Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, Tb yield with the grace of reason, And bow and accept the end of a love or a season? The streaked female grosbeaks tell me I must accept the end of the season of long lingering twilight, early morning cool filled with jays screaming insults at the world, and hot midday when the only sound is the winding down of cicadas. There will be many more hot middays but the hours of daylight are become inexorable shorter. On Sept. 21 — the first day of autumn — fall migration will be a peak as the tiny brains of birds dictate they must make the long flight south. It began in late July as the first warblers, in plumage diminished in color, began to appear, flitting through the foliage and full of “all-of-a-sudden” starts and stops. Like the grosbeaks outside my window, they were headed for the tropics where the seasons are two: ednesday at Ki Theatre y St.. Washington.

I saw the grosbeaks only because I glanced away from the computer screen and saw the bounce of a leafy mulberry twig; a signal that a bird — or two — had landed on it. Then I saw the two brown-streaked females with unmistakable big ‘grosbeak’ bills, like that of a cardinal. The two grosbeaks, pausing during the flight south, looked like typical females of that species. Certainly they were not mature males with their startling black and white plumage set off by a rosy-red splotch on the breast. In mid-September, the night sky will be filled with birds.

Flint Hill, VA 22627 focusing binoculars or telescopes on a full moon on a clear September night, one may be lucky enough to see tiny specks move across its face. Once in the air at 7,000 feet, the birds will stay aloft until they encounter high winds that bring them down to the tree tops to feed until a favorable wind tells them to move on through the corridor without, walls. Flying against strong winds uses too much energy and the burning of stored fat. Many birds that nest in central and western Canada move east, then turn south and follow the coast of New England. Mixed flocks of songbirds congregate on Long Island and wait for favorable winds before mounting the air. In a recent breakthrough in the study of migration, a large mixed flock of warblers, thrushes, and vireos — and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks — was tracked by radar. The birds left Long Island and climbed to a cruising altitude of 7,000 feet. On occasion, they ascended to 20,000 feet to ride favorable winds. From Long Island to the coast of Venezuela, the birds remained in the air over open water for 86 hours. Before starting south, birds gorge on berries and insects increasing their weight by as much as 50 percent. Layers of fat accumulate on the breast and under the wings. This fuel keeps them going for hundreds of miles in the non-stop flight south. Gradually the mysteries of migration are revealed. Much is unknown and perhaps unknowable. An older bird, one that made the trip north in spring, will leave before the young ones hatched in May or June leave the nesting area. How do the younger ones know, when to leave and what route to take? Why make this long, hazardous flight at night? During daylight predators are watchful and ready to pluck birds out of the air. Birds aiming for the tropics follow many paths. The two grosbeaks outside my window were taking a leisurely inland route and will, no doubt, take off from Florida and island-hop to their tropical destination. This slower, unhurried southerly movement is characteristic of early stages of fall migration. Rose-breasted Grosbeaks only breed on the upper reaches of Virginia mountains, above 2,500 feet. Had the two I saw nested on a high slope, and first made their way to lower altitudes before moving south? Or had they concluded the reproduction cycle in some laurel thicket in Maine? I don’t know the answer; I delight in what I don’t know regarding birds. The mystery delights me. Bird migration is an awesome annual adventure. Maybe I am ready to “yield with grace....and accept the end of...a season,” after all. «5a ye9 9 ClzfUveiz* Consignment Shop 714 Zachary Taylor Highway Flint Hill, VA 22627 540-675-3958 New Hours Effective Sept. 2 Mon., Tues., Wed., & Fri., 12 to 5:30 p.m. Sat., 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Closed Thursday & Sunday il SHAKLEE i Opportunity Meeting to learn more about becoming part of a winning team.

They were very close to having it done with their first written proposal earlier this year. Supervisor Mike Massie, who felt the proposal was too restrictive, and whose view was echoed by some county residents, made a proposal of his own. The Planning Commission, on which Mr. Massie sits as a representative from the Board of Supervisors, then made a third proposal — a combination of the other two. Many residents have stated, as have some members of the Planning Commission, that the issue needs to be resolved and a proposal sent to the Board of Supervisors in order to get it done, or not. The Planning Commission will hold a work session to iron out what to do about all the proposals on Sept. 8 at 5:30 p.m. in the courthouse. To date, about 50 county residents have publicly expressed their views on what should or should not be done about controlling development on mountain tops. Even taking into account those who have spoken privately to Commissioners or Supervisors, and those who don’t have an opinion one way or the other, there are still many people unaccounted for. The work session is open to the public. Let your Commissioner know what you think.

ELAINE VIGUERIE Washington What about guardrails? Since I have written one letter on your Aug. 6 issue, I may as well add the second on the subject of the VDOT actions taken to make Route 729 a safer road. I drive that section of Route 729 near Route 618 and the bridge over Battle Run quite frequently. I must admit, that on one occasion soon after moving to Castleton, I drove that section of road at a higher rate of speed than I should have. In so doing that, I think I understand what happened in the two recent accidents. When you are heading south and approach the hump, marked “dip” on the map you ran on page A8 of your paper, at too high a rate, of speed, the vehicle becomes slightly (or nearly) airborne causing momentary loss of steering control. This occurs at the instant that the road starts a bend. If the driver tries to follow the road and the vehicle does not immediately respond, the reaction will be to over-steer. Upon attaining subsequent solid contact with the road, the vehicle will likely swerve violently and the driver may completely lose control. It is my opinion that, while marking the road with warning and reduced speed signs is vital, placing the tall white reflective posts on both sides of this short strip of road will do little to make the road safer. What is needed are guardrails to prevent an out of control car from leaving the road and giving the driver a chance to regain control. In addition, the reflective posts are unsightly and will sag and tilt with time and become even more unsightly. How about guardrails VDOT! GILMAN R. CARLSON Castleton Impressed and hopeful Experience and temperament have always led me to the belief that it is better “to be part of the construction team rather than the wrecking crew.” That is why I was much impressed with Ray Gooch’s logic and patient reasoning concerning his committee’s work on the future of our beautiful county seat (Aug. 6 Opinions column). Mr. Gooch’s efforts, and those of advisers such as County Administrator John McCarthy, promise to provide us with valuable insight into the problems and prospects for the future of our community. From the articles I have read in the Rappahannock News over the past few months, Mr. Gooch’s committee appears to be conscientiously weighing the needs and alternatives for our charming and unique little town which we all want to keep that way. I am confident that Mr. Gooch and his committee welcome the reasoned opinions and advise of everyone — experts and citizens, supporters and doubters, alike. I would also add that the future of Washington, Va. is influenced not only by its interesting past, but by its promising future. And that future has been immeasurably enhanced by the fame — and yes, fortune — brought to our small community by The Inn at Little Washington. How fortunate we are! RICHARD S. LYKES Flint Hill Learn from bad example Several weeks ago a friend of mine and her husband went for a drive in Rappahannock County. On a whim, they decided to pick up the local newspaper. They were horrified to see a scenario, which they had already experienced on Route 628 in Fauquier County, being repeated on Route 621. Like you, we had no idea of the reconstruction plans for this little country road. In our case, there was no public hearing; the road reconstruction was not in the county’s comprehensive plan nor was it in the six-year plan. The road had been designated a county scenic road and, it was protected from being widened by our community trail easements which run alongside the road for most of its length. (According to our community covenants, a vote is required by all landowners in the community with a 90 percent approval before a trail can be moved.) To make a long, two-year, continuing story short, VDOT spent nearly $500,000 of unbudgeted money — your tax dollars! — to reconstruct this road. They tore down hundreds of old trees. They widened and raised the road. They put in new drain pipes and directed more water onto property owner’s fields. They filled in wetlands. They knowingly — and illegally — moved our community riding trails and went into deficit spending to boot. It is our understanding that the new Pave in Place legislation was passed, in part, because of what VDOT did to Route 628 in Fauquier County. Residents of ♦Rappahannock County, beware! This could happen to you! Ask questions! Why does the road have to be widened — killing trees and destroying the rural character? Why are “new” (bigger?) pipes necessary? Why does the road have to be “resurfaced” at all? (Paving does increase speed!) Our coiftmunity trails committee is now trying to get VDOT to implement traffic calming methods to reduce the speed on Route 628 so we can ride safely on the community trails along the now paved road. Read the Pave in Place bill and force VDOT to comply. You have a right to know what is going on. It’s your tax money! ALISON R. GILLETTE Warrenton Faith Mountain story well done The Rappahannock News should be commended for its recent article on the Faith Mountain Company. It was well written and extremely informative. \ • As a business person and ! j a citizen of Rappahannock j 1 County, I have great respect for the success of Faith Mountain, for its broad support of the employment needs ;; of the community, and for the .. caring attitude it has toward its employees. The paper expressed this company’s philosophy well and gave •. warmth to a major county i ■ success story. ; ■ EVELYN MILLER WILLIS '• Washington ; Gilmore plan a good one The number one issue at the moment in the gubernatorial campaign seems to be the local personal property tax. It is important that citizens play close attention to each candidate’s basic position as they promise personal property tax relief. No issue could more clearly define the difference in the philosophical bent of the candidates. The traditional approach of the Democrats is to collect every possible dollar and use part of the revenue to curry favor with select groups of potential voters. It is my guess that a great majority of Virginians would prefer not having to pay the onerous property tax on their personal vehicle in the first place. The Gilmore plan will in effect eliminate the property tax on the first $20,000 value of one personal vehicle, as opposed to his opponent’s plan to requiring us to pay all the tax and leave us hoping for a limited tax credit or check from our government.

..."""" * 1 mernmmMmmmmmmmiimMMmmmammam n tail .. .. Commissioners urged to stay with original plan By Marc Malik Rappahannock News Contributing Writer ( The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) expresses its appreciation for the hard work by the county’s Planning Commission and its vision in seeking to write new regulations to protect our county’s priceless scenic mountains and their natural resources. The three-year effort to find effective, fair and cost-efficient methods to preserve the county’s mountain beauty for future generations speaks of a commitment that all members of RLEP wish to applaud. The proposed amendments to regulations for Conservation Zones that were publicly offered at the May 21 meeting were the culmination of this thoughtful, good-faith effort of the past three years. Though those amendments may have been flawed in some details, they proposed a large step forward in protection of Rappahannock County’s scenic mountains. Their goal was right, and their methods reasonable. A vocal protest by a handful of landowners and land developers that was orchestrated to stop any new regulations to protect the mountains seems to have stalled or perhaps undercut the Commission’s commendable effort. We urge Commission members not to turn back from the goal at this late stage. We firmly believe that the vast majority of Rappahannock County residents want to save our ridgetops and mountainsides from unregulated residential development. While Commissioners must keep in mind the legitimate rights of landowners, they can still protect those rights and save the mountains by reasonable regulations. RLEP supported the intent of the original proposals discussed at the May 21 meeting. We still do. Some modification of those proposals may be needed to meet the objections of landowners — such as eliminating the proposed section H[6] that would require structures to be at least 50 feet below the highest elevation. No wholesale watering-down of the proposals is necessary or desirable. The goal of the Commission’s effort should be to produce regulations that are effective, not merely regulations that are non-controversial. Our beautiful mountains are worth a fight. We urge you to fight for them, and for the right of generations yet unborn to know and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us in Rappahannock County today. Marc Malik is president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. Reflections on nuisances As long as we are pondering the necessity of a “Barking Dog Ordinance,” I thought it wouldn’t hurt to reflect on some other nuisances which a local ordinance might help correct. I would like to suggest an ordinance prohibiting that awful noise cicadas make when they are mating. And let’s not stop there! While we’re at it, let’s make the chirping of crickets and the croaking of frogs illegal too. After all, they can both be awfully noisy sometimes...especially at night. We could just have deputies from the Sheriff’s Department arrest anyone who fails to keep all of those noisy critters on his property quiet. Even with its limited budget and manpower, I’m sure that the Sheriff’s Office wouldn’t mind slipping this most pressing duty in with ill those other relatively mimportant daily tasks, like :atching criminals or enforcng the speed limit. When Margaret Ann Dhadwell suggested in her etter to the editor an ordinance against barking dogs, [ thought at first that it was i joke. My wife and I shared i chuckle over the idea that someone who chooses to live n the country would have a iroblem with the bark of nan’s best friend, whom we I ft "if* Repossession? Bad Credit?

After reading Mr. Duxbury^ letter in a recent edition of the Rappahannock News, however, I was flabbergasted...these people are serious! They make it sound like every barking dog in the county is barking for the sole purpose of annoying them and disturbing their peace and quiet. I would humbly submit that they may both have an exaggerated sense of selfimportance. I know for a fact that my three dogs are far too busy keeping raccoons, skunks and wild cats out of my bam; deer, groundhogs, and rabbits out of my garden; and bears out of my outside trash cans to waste their barking on the Chadwells and Duxburys of the county. I own dogs precisely because they do bark. Their bark serves a vital function on my property. If they didn’t bark they would merely be rather expensive way of ensuring that my floors always have a fine layer of dog hair and my furniture muddy paw prints. The Chadwells and Duxburys could well get their way if the citizenry of Rappahannock forgets that common sense is the basic building block of country living. Should such an ordinance come to pass, I can only hope that its proponents won’t be too bothered by the sound of my gun as I defend the squash in my garden, the honor of barn, and the integrity of my trash cans... Matt Lynn Huntly Appalled over cider issue I was appalled to read that the EPA and the USDA are pushing to outlaw apple cider nationwide, and I have a suggestion as to what to do about is and civil disobedience. Simply inform the federal government (and the media, through press releases) that the apple producers of Rappahannock County will not comply with such a law should it be enacted and that vast numbers of this county’s citizens will stand by them (as I’m sure a petition would demonstrate). Make a really big stink about it and the government won’t be able to quietly pass and enforce the law. Mr. Bryant Lee’s common sense remark that “any product you can make carries the potential risk of making someone sick” is right on the mark. If one is concerned about ecoli exposure from a particular product, then don’t consume it. But don’t support the outlawing of this product BED LINER SALE!!

Apple cider, by its nature, is a fairly localized market, the product of small businesses. It is the small producers that will be hurt by such a law. This potential threat from the federal government reminds me of another upcoming threat that your paper has reported on: the proposed EPA edict that all streams in pasture land be fenced off. Again, the primary victim of such an immense expense will be the smaller ranches. I used to believe the cliche that big business was always against government regulations. But after carefully observing lawmaking and lobbying, I have concluded that the biggest businesses actually love government regulations and sometimes suggest new ones. Why? Because over-regulation (and taxation) kills off the competition from smaller businesses. The threat of these upcoming laws is no small matter and they would change this county (and nation) for the worse because they would hurt or destroy small farmers and ranches, as well as eliminate apple cider from our Autumn forever. Let us all support our local producers in rejecting the unreasonable and ridiculous demands of un-elected bureaucrats.

Tickets are $25 per person and can be purchased at the door or in advance by sending a check to the Rappahannock Historical Society, P.O. Box 261, Washington, Va. 22747. The historical society needs contributions to help make repairs and renovations to its circa 1800 building — fixing the roof, replacing some of the walls and painting. The society is looking for sponsors: Gold sponsor $500; silver sponsor $250; bronze sponsor $100; community sponsor. $50. Sponsorship includes free admission to the fundraiser. For information, contact the historical society at 675-1163. Safety tips for school days Sheriff Gary Settle reminds parents and children that with the school openings approaching, keep in mind the following safety tips: Parents, if your children must be left alone after school consider these questions: Are your children old enough and mature enough to care for themselves? Do they know basic safety rules? Do you know the three “W’s”: Where your kids are, What they’re doing, and Who they’re with? Can your children: Easily use the telephone, locks and kitchen appliances? Follow rules and instructions well? Handle unexpected situations without panicking? Stay alone without being afraid? Bus stop safety tips: Arrive on time for the bus. No horseplay at the bus stop, someone may get hurt. If possible, have a parent supervise the bus stop until the bus arrives. Do not ride with strangers If you ride your bike to the bus stop always wear your helmet. As winter arrives and the days get shorter make sure you wear bright colors or reflective clothing at the bus stop in the morning. Do not act up on the bus. Your bus driver needs your help in making it a safe trip. Make sure you get on and off the bus carefully. Always watch on coming traffic. If things do not look right when you arrive home, don’t go in call the police from a trusted neighbors house. Call 911 in an emergency and have a safe house you can go to and know the phone number of where your parents can be reached. Literacy adult ed classes set The Literacy Volunteers of Rappahannock County will resume adult education classes on Monday, Sept. 8 in the literacy room, downstairs in the Rappahannock County Library, from 7 to 9 p.m. Individual instruction is offered in reading, math and GED using a variety of materials including computer programs. For information call 937-4279 or 675-3419. These are the school bus routes for the upcoming year in Rappahannock County. Students are urged to be at their “stops” at least 15 minutes early the first day of school on Tuesday, Sept. 2. Some bus numbers and route descriptions have been altered from last year. Address bus route questions to Helen Williams, Director of Transportation at 987-8773. Overcrowding or safety concerns may necessitate further route changes. It is suggested that parents of new or very young students have them ride the bus to school the first morning, rather than driving them to school, so that they will know which bus to get on in the afternoon.

Forgery case ends, woman pleads guilty to charges By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer After almost a year, the case of Pauline Scroggins ended in Circuit Court this month when she pled guilty on all charges and waived her rights. Mrs. Scroggins was charged with two counts of forgery and one count of obtaining money by false pretenses. On Sept. 27, 1996 Mrs. Scroggins, who was at the time employed by John A. Tapp, obtained a check from him for the purpose of purchasing groceries. She filled in the amount of $4,000, cashed it and used the money for herself, said Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. On Dec. 13 and 21, ‘96 Mrs. Scroggins forged checks, for the amounts of $200 and $100 respectively. Mrs. Scroggins was found guilty and will receive sentencing on Nov. 10. Last week, Joseph Bedford Reid was tried in Circuit Court for possession of PCP and speeding on Jan. 18 on U.S. 211. He waved his right to a jury trial. Trooper M.C. Woodard of the Virginia State Police, who testified in court, said that he was on patrol when Mr. Reid went by him at 72 mph headed east on U.S. 211. Trooper Woodard turned around to pursue him but Mr. Reid had disappeared. Trooper Woodard continued to look for him and found him on Route 640. He stopped Mr. Reid who told the trooper that “it wasn’t me you saw speeding.” Trooper Woodard maintained it was him. Trooper Woodard then gained consent from Mr. Reid to search his vehicle. He found a film canister in the compartment between the front seats. When Trooper Woodard opened it he smelled what he thought was PCP. Mr. Reid told him it wasn’t and said he got the film canister from the dump in Culpeper County and had planned to use it for carrying extra nuts and bolts for his chain saws. He maintained this was true in court also when questioned on the witness stand. Trooper Woodard said he then read Mr. Reid his rights and placed the canister into evidence. He took it to the Virginia State Police locker in Warrenton. He then got it from there and took it to have tested and brought it back to lock it up again. It was found to be PCP. Judge Selwyn Smith, after hearing everyone’s testimony, told Mr. Reid he did not believe him and found him guilty of possession of PCP and of speeding. He said he believed Mr. Reid was attempting to elude the trooper and ditch drug evidence. Mr. Reid will be sentenced Nov. 10 on both charges. Ronnie L. Kennedy was sentenced to two years in jail with all but six months suspended for grand larceny during Circuit Court on Aug. 21. Mr. Kennedy was indicted for grand larceny in November 1996 in Rappahannock and, while on bond here, committed petty larceny in Culpeper and failed to appear in court in Orange County. Judge Carleton Penn told Mr. Kennedy he was mystified as to how he could be on bond and go out and commit other offenses. He told him his bond should have been revoked. “I think it’s important you see the inside of a jail and realize what it’s about,” Judge Penn told Mr. Kennedy. “It’s time to grow up.” Mr. Kennedy was also sentenced to two years probation on the condition he remain drug-free and was ordered to pay $125 to the pawnbroker for merchandise not recovered, and court costs. Nathan Dale Foreman was sentenced this month in Circuit Court for violating parole. Based on his other sen tences for breaking and entering and petty larceny, he was sentenced to six years, less six months, with all but one year suspended and three years supervised probation. Mr. Foreman, who is 19, has been battling substance abuse problems since the age of 14. He told the court that when he drinks he looses control and gets angry. Then he does things he regrets. Mr. Luke said substance abuse problems do not excuse his other crimes. Mr. Foreman has been in and out of programs and said nothing has helped so far. Mr. Foreman was cautioned about his continued substance abuse and told if he didn’t change his ways he’d find himself back in court in the future. Man still in serious condition after accident at sraraffe By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer In a somewhat bizarre accident, Roland Michael Williams, 23, of Rappahannock, was seriously injured when a tire popped and hit him in the head. Mr. Williams was changing the tire at C.W. Auto in Amissville and had not caged the tire to prevent it from moving. The Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office investigated the accident which occurred about 1:16 p.m. on Aug. 15. Mr. Williams was taken to Fauquier Hospital and immediately airlifted to Fairfax Hospital. He was in critical condition when he was admitted to Fairfax Hospital and is now in serious but stable condition said the hospital’s public relations office Monday. The Sheriff’s Office picked up Lester W. Chapman, 50, at the Parkway Gift Shop in Sperryville for loitering on the morning of Aug. 12. Mr. Chapman was taken to Family Guidance for evaluation to determine if he was okay, they said he was and he was released. He then told authorities he wanted to go to Page County and left. Allegedly he then went down the road to U.S. 211 and drove off in a ‘94 Ford F150, which was parked on U.S. 211 by APAC crews doing road work there. APAC reported it missing. Mr. Chapman apparently drove the vehicle to Page County. It was found there, several blocks from where he had told Rappahannock authorities he wanted to go. Mr. Chapman was arrested by authorities in Page County and brought back to Rappahannock and charged with felony theft. Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department personnel are also on the lookout for a person or persons involved with several incidents of siphoning gas in the Sperryville area. Sheriff Gary Settle the public should be aware since they feel sure the incidents are related. Anyone having information or anyone who has seen anything suspicious should call the Sheriff’s Office at 6753331. Also anyone who thinks they may have been a victim of gas siphoning, but did not Board okays property purchase By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer After an executive session, which took about four times as long as the actual meeting, the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, last Wednesday, approved a motion to accept a lontract and purchase the \rmentrout property, located adjacent to Rappahannock Elementary School. The board called a special meeting to consider the purchase of the property which consists of 25.1567 acres and the aoard agreed to a purchase price )f $100,600, at the assessed /alue of $4,000 per acre. The property is owned by Lori Ann Armentrout Lawrence and Barbara Jean Armentrout, who both own 25 percent, Roger D. Armentrout, who owns five percent, and Michele Charles Savino, who owns 45 percent. Mr. Savino is a minor and to protect his interest a court order must be sought to complete the sale to the county. This will be done in the Circuit Court of Rappahannock and since all other parties are in agreement the sale will be completed after the court gives approval, said County Administrator John McCarthy. County Attorney Peter Luke will represent the county in the suit, which is brought and paid for by the county, since it wishes to purchase the property. Mr. McCarthy said the closing will be no later than 15 days from the date the Circuit Court approves the sale. The county decided to purchase the property in its ongoing search for land to deal with dumpster space and for ■future school space. This need was partially satisfied by the county’s purchase of the Anderson property earlier this year. The board’s next meeting, its regular meeting, will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 3, at 2 and 7 p.m., due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday.

The Virginia State Police responded to an accident on Aug. 11 on Boston on Route 604. Trooper S.M. Knick reported that Robert Swierczeck, 35, of Boston, was pulling out onto Route 604 from a private lane in his 1994 Toyota pickup and ran into a 1984 Dodge pickup driven by George Wharton, 53, of Castleton. Mr. Wharton was injured and taken by the Culpeper Volunteer Rescue Squad to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. He was admitted to the hospi tal and has since been released. Mr. Swierczeck received minor injuries according to authorities. The damage to Mr. Wharton’s vehicle was estimated at $4,000. Mr. Swierczek’s vehicle had slightly more damage, estimated at $5,000. Mr. Swierczek was charged with failure to yield. On Aug. 14, Trooper C.A. Moore responded to an accident on U.S. 211 in Sperryville at 7:15 p.m, Wayne Robinson Jr., 25, of Sperryville failed to negotiate a curve and swerved left causing a head-on collision between his ‘96 Plymouth and a ‘95 Ford pickup driven by Troy Jenkins, 29, of Luray. Both vehicles were totaled according to Trooper Moore. An estimated $14,000 damage was done to the Plymouth and an estimated $15,000 damage to the Ford pickup. Mr. Robinson and Cheryl Pratta, a passenger in Mr. Robinson’s vehicle, were both injured and transported from the scene by the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad. Mr. Jenkins was not seriously injured. Mr. Robinson was charged with reckless driving. Commission approves two, tables one By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer At its regular meeting the Rappahannock Planning Commission considered three applications. The first was by Susan Hoffman and Michael Biniek for an increase from a bed and breakfast operation to an inn and for the construction of a school (for not more than 25 students), both at Belle Meade off F.T. Valley Road. The Planning Commission had numerous questions regarding the intended use for the new facility and concerning how many people would, or could, be at both facilities at one time. The Commission voted to table the application for one month so the applicants can give adequate answers about the inn use, camp use, conference use and farm use for the facilities. The Commission partially approved a request by C.L. Koral and Miriam Harris to divide three parcels of property in Huntly. The Planning Commission allowed parcel B to be separated with a future right of way of 20 feet to the state for restructuring of roads. The application goes on to the Board of Supervisors. The Commission also approved a request by Linda W. Riley of Flint Hill for an addition to her home. She requested the addition of an apartment of not more than 1,200 square feet which will be connected to her home by a breeze way. The septic system \yill also be upgraded to meet requirements for a three bedroom home. The application will now go to the Board of Zoning Appeals this week. The Commission okayed the hiring of a person for ENSAT to proceed with the hydrogeological testing in Sperryville. Labor Day Sale! Fri. Aug. 29 • Sat Aug. 30 • Sun. Aug. 31 • Mon.

; Picking a proposal By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer The issue of what, or what not, to do about three proposals concerning amendments to the Conservation Zoning District Land Regulations came up yet again at the Planning Commission meeting. Clearly commissioners are weary of dealing with the issue and wish to settle on a proposal which they can approve and forward to the Board of Supervisors. Commission chair Sharon Pierce said, and not for the first time, “I would like to get this done. I want to hear comments and any revisions you feel are necessary and I want this commission to commit to sit down and hash it (the proposal) out and get it done.” Mrs. Pierce said the public needs to take a look at all three proposals and let the commissioners know what they want. A work session is scheduled for Sept. 8 at 5:30 p.m. at the courthouse. She opened the floor to public comment. Marc Malik, president of the Rappahannock League for EnvirOnmen tal Protection told the Commission that RLEP supports the first proposal made by the commission earlier this year. “We feel there’s quite a difference with the new proposals. There is not an awful lot of land left in ridgetops in the county,” he said. He presented the corn-mission with a drawing taken from and aerial map which shows what’s left of mountain top land for development in the county. He told them that he could have an acreage estimate by their work session. Castleton resident Jim Gannon said, “In May this commission appeared to be on track with a good set of regulations. Since then it seems to have stalled. I hope the commission, now that it has stalled, will not let the issue slip and will not lose sight of its goal.” Bob Dennis, of Flint Hill, said he had attended the meeting because he heard the issue would be on the agenda. “The ordinance must be crafted so it doesn’t have a lot of legislative ‘takings’ and should not interfere with bonafide forestry or agricultural operations.” Summit From Page A1 laws of nature by allowing cities to pour their sewage directly into rivers causing vast fisheries to disappear,” he said. “Mistakes in the past have given us th^e opportunity to learn from them.” “We know or should know that our water quality problems are created by the cumulative effect of many different projects and activities resulting in both point and non-point source pollution. Likewise, it is the cumulative effect of many small programs that will improve its quality,” he said. Small watershed management programs are being developed over the Chesapeake Bay’s 64,000 mile watershed. Mr. Gilkey and Mr. Anderson, who is a member of the Rappahannock River Basin Study Commission, attended a workshop at the conference entitled Best Management Practices: Basin wide Nonpoint Source Pollution Efforts and Innovative Techniques. According to the present time line, funds for the small watershed grants program will be available Jan. 1, 1999. The Department of Environmental Quality Report for 1997 on water quality monitoring in the Rappahannock River Basin shows high nonpoint pollution for the upper Thornton River in Rappahannock, the lower Thornton including Battle Run, Mill Run and the Thornton River in Rappahannock and the lower Hazel River. Citizens associated with the Ragged Mountain Resource Center have received training and monitor 14 sites in Rappahannock County. For information about that contact Jay Gilliam of the Isaak Walton League at 377-6179. Senator Murphy told the commission that goals should be added, to those they have already identified in their memorandum of goals, to address reducing toxins and nutrient pollution and to restore underwater grasses. The memorandum, besides lacking any identifiable specific action, also lacks any possible means of evaluation. The commission members said they see themselves as a gathering and sharing body. The commission has no regulatory authority and many members feel it should stay that way. Tourism From Page A1 conference and meeting sites in the spring and summer months. Overall, tourists travel more often and their stays tend to be shorter in duration than in decades past, said Steger. She said tourism officials received a “big jolt” in 1986 when a Marriot-commissioned study revealed that 70 percent of all American vacations consisted of long weekends. “That changed the way we advertised. We began to focus on niche marketing.” Steger said the state began to identify groups of tourists who come to satisfy specific interests — Civil War buffs, antique collectors, outdoors men, etc... Each group is identified, then targeted with ads placed in specific advertising vehicles. Virginia’s rivers and mountains are lauded in hik ing and canoeing magazines, for example. The state’s significant inventory of historic attractions are highlighted in Civil War publications, events and trade shows. . In the area of historic tourism, Virginia received a huge boost when Public Television’s acclaimed Civil War series by Ken Burns was broadcast in England by the BBC. Steger said state officials “struck a deal” with the BBC which agreed to air a telephone number for British viewers who were interested in visiting Virginia. “We got 30,000 inquiries in three months. Twenty-four percent actually came,” said Steger. “We were floored.” Another element that has changed Virginia tourism is the advent of the bed and breakfast industry. According to Steger, the industry can trace its roots to the Bicentennial celebration in Charlottesville more than 20 years ago. Since then, quaint his toric homes have become not only places for visitors to stay while exploring an area, but attractions in and of themselves. “One reason that the bed and breakfast industry has been such a success is that so many people live in urban and suburban environments. They lead hectic lives — 50 percent of all mothers of preschool children work. This has fueled the urge for weekend getaways.” “They like to stay at bed and breakfasts, visit antique shops and wineries — just have a relaxing weekend. The Shenandoah Valley owes a lot not only to scenic wonders, but the whole bed and breakfast industry which has really cultivated the travel from the Washington/ Baltimore corridor.” A new spirit of cooperation among regions has also helped boost tourism in Virginia, said Steger. Rappahannock County’s involvement in a six-county marketing campaign infor mally named “Escapes” is one example of regional cooperation. “Some years ago we noticed a feeling of competitiveness within an area. Attractions were proprietary. They didn’t want their neighbor to know who their plans were. Today, most realize the competition is not 10 miles away — it is 200 miles away. The result has been much more cooperation. Once they realized the benefits, there has been cooperative marketing. People have realized they get more bang for the buck by pooling their resources,” said Steger. Traditionally, most Virginia visitors come from New York, _ Pennsylvania, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, she said. Virginia gets about 50 million person trips per year, and that is a conservative estimate, she said. Statewide, the average stay is 2.4 nights with $168 spent per trip. When the symptoms of a heart attack strike, the really life-threatening responses are fear and denial. Don’t ask “What if this is only indigestion?” The vital question is “What if this isn’t merely indigestion?” Any thing, any thought, any worry that keeps you from dialing 911 right away can be deadly-even a friendly offer to drive you to the hospital. Time is of the essence. Medical treatment delivered quickly after the onset of heart attack symptoms can make a big difference in the prospects for complete recovery and minimizing damage to the heart. Don’t be afraid that you are overreacting. Don’t second-guess a heart attack. Dial 911 if you experience any of the following: ■ Discomfort, pressure, or pain in your chest that lasts more than 15 minutes; ■ Discomfort or pain that spreads to your back, neck, jaw, shoulders, or arms; ■ Chest discomfort with shortness of breath, weakness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, or intense sweating.

Mr. Tompkins recognizes that “a large constituency in the town is passionately opposed to any sort of septic solution,” and “there is also a constituency that perceives the situation to be very dramatic and terrible.” He believes that some kind of onsite natural water purification and recycling system is the best alternative for the town and would bridge the gap between doing nothing and installing an expensive standard sewer plant. There is a “prevalent misconception that only one solution” exists, he stated in a Town Council meeting earlier this summer. “We control our destiny by making a good faith effort to deal with our issues head on. There are at least four, perhaps six, technologies available today” that could serve the town well. Responses to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Feasibility Study for Wastewater Treatment issued by the Town Council in May are temporarily on hold pending completion of the income and sanitation surveys. Bidders submitted cost estimates and alternative approaches to providing treatment facilities or otherwise solving the town’s wastewater problems. Estimates ranged from less than $10,000 to approximately $50,000 to complete the study. “Green,” or environmentally friendly, technology is expected to comprise the basis of most recommendations. The technologies range from installation of centralized drain Court From Page A1 Fauquier Sheriff’s Office investigator Gary Kneeley. They had to throw out the case. That left the only evidence in the crimes in the two counties tied to Mr. Thomas. The testimony on the tapes was apparently ygry damaging to Mr. Thomas’ case as the jury deliberated only half an hour and came back with a guilty verdict on all counts. They were then provided a copy of Mr. Thomas’ criminal record, provided to a jury since the law changed in 1995, to better enable them in making nappanannoc* i^ews fields to establishment of artifi,cial wetlands to development of “living machines,” biologicbased wastewater circulation and treatment facilities superficially comparable to a greenhouse. Mayor Stewart Willis and members of the council agree that solving the wastewatet problem is a top priority. The council is also aware that state or county regulatory commit sions can impose their authorities on the community if the situation worsens and nothing is done. Mr. Ibmpkins is working to arrange a series of semi’nars on alternative wastewatet treatment options that would be open to the community. Copies of all the informar tion is available from Kaye Kohler in the town hall.

• Neighbors/B5 • Obituaries/B5 • Classifieds/B • Real Estate/B August 27,1997 Cl Everything’s on track for them By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Everything Band is busy composing and recording music in a new recording studio that is as different from most recording studios as this band is unique from other bands. When an imposing antebellum house surrounded by century old oaks and hundreds of acres of idyllic pasture became available, Everything rented it from Eldon Farms. It provides the band with a variety of sparsley furnished rooms in which to play their instruments, as well as the opportunity to play with the acoustics in the house. They added a studio, full of state of the art professional recording equipment including engineers to set it up and operate it. Finally, they gave themselves two months to experiment with recording innovative music. It is their best work yet, according to Craig Honeycutt, frontman for the band. The CD wall probably be released in January. Everything is known to show up unannounced at the Blue Moon in Speriyville when there is an “open-mike.” They are even more popular outside of Sperryville, commanding $5,000 for a performance at east coast concerts and public events and up to $12,000 for a “big” show at places like the Nissan Pavilion, where they are scheduled to appear Sept. 6. They have sold 50,000 CDs and in May, Everything signed with Blackbird, a part of Elektra Records, a well recognized an financially strong company. The band has appeared with many wellknown groups including Hooty and The Blowfish, the Who, and Dave Matthews, to name a few. Their web site is an imaginative one at http://www.ecolon.com. In 1989, all students at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, they began playing around the school and later at other schools like Radford and Virginia Tech. In the spring of 1992^ they decided they wanted to make music full-time. When asked if he had a sense of their future success, Craig Honeycutt laughed and said that there is an initial enthusiasm that every band feels. “It’s part of being in a band,” he said. However, Everything has continued on a progressively upward course. “We’ve stuck together and have a great chemistry,” said Craig. They asked Randy Reed, 29, a friend and JMU student who majored at the school’s music-business program, to be the band’s business manager, and he quickly accepted. At the end of the summer in ‘92, they moved to Woodville, renting a house belonging to Eldon Photo Courtesy of TED PELLEGATTA JR. EVERYTHING: Band members, from left, Steven Van Dam, Wolfe Quinn, Nathan Brown, David Slankard, Craig Honeycutt and Rich Bradley, on their way to fame and fortune. r Farms that they dubbed the “shingle shanty,” which they still call home. Craig, 27, lead singer and guitarist, grew up in Maryland. Nathan Brown, 26, drummer, Wolfe Quinn, 31, keyboards, Tbone player and auxiliary percussionist, and Steve Van Dam, 28, guitarist, alto saxophonist, clarinetist and vocalist, grew up in northern Virginia. David Slankard, 27, bass player, and Rich Bradley, 27, tenor sax, guitar, and vocalist, are from Richmond. Room after room of the house is filled with an assortment of instruments while microphones and cables run everywhere until they converge in the central control room with a no-nonsense engineer hovering over a six-foot mixing console. A computer monitor displays the sound visually and at the very heart of it all, is a tape machine with a two-inch tape that was the permanent sound record. “The room actually becomes part of the instrument, part of the sound the human ear hears,” Craig said. All of the band members had formal musical training. Nathan, a gifted drummer, said he started lessons in percussion, drums, and vocals in ninth grade and was in a marching band in school. Craig said he started playing the snare drum in a third-grade band. Steve Van Dam has the greatest amount of formal training including the clarinet, saxophone, piano, bass and guitar, and in college continued with composing and symphonic and orchestral arranging. Rich Bradley said he began playing the saxophone when he was about 11-years-old. It all seems so glamorous and creative, however, there is another side to their lives. They perform at over 200 events each year which involves sometime six to eight weeks of traveling before they can come home. Their performance scheduled, starting Sept. 4 and ending Sept. 28, rockets back and forth between North Carolina, Virginia, South Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN SOUND MIX; Nathan Brown, right, listens as band recording producers work on a track.

It can be stressful. However, the fans to make up from some of the stress and aggravation of traveling. Everything has their devoted fans, 3Q to 50 individuals in each area, who loyally follow them. The band recognizes familiar faces at concerts. In all, about 1,000 such fans follow them around when they travel. Everything has it’s own unique and sophisticated sound. It is hard to label, but modem rock, eclectic, pop and jazz influences have been mentioned. The percussion is always present, but it has a soft touch. The combination of instruments with the rhythm gives their music a ftdl, round sound. The lyrics are sometimes hard to hear, being more suggestions than dominating the music. It has decidedly romantic quality. It’s no wonder they like to listen to everything from Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Debussy to Louis Armstrong, James Brown, the Beatles, Jimmy Hendricks and Led Zepplin. They are musically well educated and sophisticated with an appreciation for a broad spectmm of music. Having the opportunity to experiment with the recording equipment has expanded their Youth making a real difference BY KICHIE DIEHL Rappahannock News Contributing Writer This summer children, young and old, poured through the church doors at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church for Vacation Bible School. After singing songs and saying pledges we did something a little bit different. This year a group of over 12 teenagers and a few adults went to help out Carlton Atkins, a 95-year-old who has been a member of the church for more than 70 years. Carlton is an active deacon, sings in the choir and even sings beautiful duets occasionally for the church. He has always been a wellrespected man in his community of Sperryville. The youth helped him out in many ways, including scraping, painting, and trimming up bushes. A fence which was no longer needed was removed; another fence was repaired. Mr. Atkins really appreciated the work and when asked what he thought about it he said, Tall did pretty good.” The teens really enjoyed this local mission project and hope to help out even more next year. The Vacation Bible School group not only used their muscles to help a neighbor, they also gave their money offerings this year to support Rappahannock children as well as Baptist missionaries around the world. The local project aided children in the community who may be going through a difficult time. The offering was used to buy teddy bears for the Sheriff’s Department. The bears are given to children in traumatic situations, perhaps caused by a car accident, or other situation, which cause them to come into contact with local deputies. Sheriff Gary Settle was able to accept the bears on the last evening of Vacation Bible School. Some of the cuddly gifts are already in circulation! Richie Diehl, a VBS participant, is a sophomore at Rappahannock County High School.

For example, said Nathan, for a drum track he took the recorded song and sped it up on the computer so it was playing faster and then he added a drum beat to it. When it is played back at normal speed, it gives a big, broad sound that would be impossible to play naturally. The band is doing multitrack recording with the help of the producer who works on the computer monitor selecting parts of the track to change. “With music, it seems to me, that when you’re listening and you close your eyes, you can paint a picture, you can see and feel the rhythm. It’s the universal language,” said Craig. Music is what guides his life, “Other than that I have nothing.” Nathan agreed that of all the things in his life he takes greatest pleasure in drumming, arranging, musically expressing himself and help ing others to express themselves. Craig added, “If it’s close to how it was in here (pointing to his head) and here (pointing to his heart), then you’ve succeeded. The essence of it is ‘you and your gang’.” They find inspiration from the natural beauty in Woodville. “That’s why we’re here,” said Craig. It’s such an amazing area. They have a collective dream of buying land in Rappahannock. Craig and Nathan both voiced concern when asked how they would feel about development in Rappahannock. We know what it is like in northern Virginia and we don’t want to lose what is so beautiful here, they insisted. Craig said, “The suburbs are like toast with out butter. There is nothing elevating.” Asked what advice they would give young musicians, Craig replied, “Work, be prepared to suffer and get in the van.” Fall season begins soon at the Theatre By Wendy Weinberg Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Labor Day and the new school year are almost upon us.

We try to “take care of priorities.” Soon, defining priorities can spur disagreements at home and at work, so even that becomes confusing. Where does it all end? It ends at the door of your local church or synagogue this Sabbath. Really. For a few hours at least you can sit quietly, meditate peacefully, sing happily, and listen hopefully with the Spirit of the Living God. There will be no interruptions, no arguments, and no rush. Even strangers will smile and shake your hand and care about how you are feeling. You will be able to ready your mind, body, and spirit for the coming week. God doesn’t promise a carefree life...just the strength to cope. “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20) Worship this week.

Virginia Cattle Association announces Beef Month According to the Virginia Cattle Industry Board, August is Beef Month in Virginia. Beef is more than what’s for dinner. It’s also a major industry that has a significant economic impact on the American quality of life according to the Cattle Board. In Virginia, beef production accounts for thousands of jobs in cattle breeding, feeding and processing. The board offers 10 important facts about beef and since beef production in Rappahannock is a key business, we felt readers would like to know these facts. Fact #1. Beef is much lower in cholesterol than most people think. Three ounces of trimmed, cooked beef contain 73 milligrams of cholesterol. By comparison, the same amount of chicken, with skin removed contains 76 milligrams; pork, 72; and shrimp 130. The American Heart Association recommends that we consume no more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol daily. Lean beef can easily fit into a heart healthy diet. Fact #2. Beef is surprisingly low in fat. An average 3 ounce serving of beef contains only 8.4 grams of fat. This is a small percentage of the recommended 67 gram daily limit in a 2,000 calorie per day diet. A number of the leaner cuts of beef, generally from the loin or round, contain less than 5 grams of fat per serving. Fact #3. Beef can be a valuable component of a low-fat, heart-healthy diet. Lean beef is regarded as a valuable part of healthful American diets by the Surgeon General of the United States and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Beef is a nutrient dense food providing a larger share of the U.S. Recommended Daily allowance of several nutrients than is provided in calories. Beef is an excellent source of protein, zinc, iron and vitamin B-12. Fact #4: Beef is a safe food product. Americans enjoy an abundant, wholesome and safe supply of beef. Yet, studies show that the majority of food-born illness is a result of improper Recipe Corner For information contact Barbara Wayland handling of food at home. Keep these tips in mind when storing and cooking beef at home: Store beef in a refrigerator or freezer. Thaw beef in a refrigerator or microwave. Keep raw and cooked beef separate and wash working surfaces, utensils, and hands after exposure to raw beef. Cook beef thoroughly and keep it hot until serving. Refrigerate or discard leftovers immediately. Fact #5: Beef contains no harmful chemical or residues. Beef is wholesome, natural food with no additives or preservatives. Government inspections show that beef contains no harmful antibiotic of pesticide residues. Implants containing naturally occurring hormones found in plant and animals are used to more efficiently produce lean beef. Fact #6: Cattle production makes efficient use of land. Roughly 44% of the land area of the Continental U.S. is classified as grazing land not suitable for crop production. This land would be of no use for food production if it were not for ruminant (four stomach), grazing livestock. Cattle are able to convert forage from this grazing land into food for humans. Roughly 80 to 85 percent of the nutrients that cattle consume come from sources not edible by humans. The optimum use of our resources involves both animals and plants to produce our food supply- plyFact #7: Cattle production contributes to soil productivity and environmental quality. The vast majority of Virginia’s cattle are raised on pasture and the manure is put back directly on the grazing land where it fertilizes forage growth and helps maintain water and mineral cycles. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has reported that soil productivity, water quality and air quality are better maintained under the permanent vegetative cover of wellmanaged grazing land than any other land use system. Manure from commercial feed lots have been closely monitored by EPA for 20 years and manure wastes are handled in accordance with EPA regulations. The benefits of this natural resource are distributed widely and tests in leading cattle feeding regions show that ground water quality is not affected by feed lots. Cattle producers as well as other farmers and ranchers are increasingly involved in soil and water conservation programs. Farmers are sensitive to environmental quality because they make a living from healthy soil, water and air and hope to pass these resources on to future generations. Fact #8. The grain fed to cattle is feed grain, not human food grain. Feeding grain to cattle for 90-120 days before they go to market produces the tasty, affordable beef the American consumers prefer and assures a plentiful beef supply year round. An average of 4.5 pounds of grain is used to produce a pound of beef (retail weight). This grain is largely low-grade corn called feed grain, not food grain such as rice and wheat that is produced for human consumption. Fact #9: Cattle production provides open spaces and habitat for wildlife. The combination of Virginia’s hardwood forest and pasture land provide an ipcreased area of “edge” habitat. The “edge” habitat is extremely important to many wildlife species such as deer, grouse and turkey. The mix of pasture land and forest in Virginia contributed to the excellent deer population in the state. Fact #10. The beef cattle industry is a vital part of Virginia’s economy. Cattle are raised in every county of Virginia. The beef cow herd in Virginia has grown over four fold since 1950. The huge majority of the cattle are grown on family owned and operated farms, improving the economic wellbeing of the families while contributing to their quality of live. The dollars earned from the cattle business are spent locally, supporting farm supply outlets, banks, etc. in addition to consumer retail businesses. The above information was supplied by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and from the 1995 Virginia Agricultural Statistics. The following recipes were also provided by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.

Butler. <l/VozcL by Randy Minter GRIEVING ON THE INSIDE One of the most significant findings of studies that delve into the topic of grieving is that other people, particularly non-family members, may be unaware of (or insensitive to) the inner pain experienced by grieving individuals. In our modem times, since we have all but abandoned such ritual symbols of mourning as widows weeds for women and black armbands for men, strangers and acquaintances of the bereaved may not be able to recognize that he or she is carrying an inner burden. As Metastasio once observed: "If the internal griefs of every man could be read, written on his forehead, how many who now excite envy, would appear to be objects of pity?" Perhaps it is not pity that the grieving need so much as our sensitivity, understanding, and support throughout their difficult time. If you wish to be sensitive to someone who is grieving, it is often best to simply express one's sympathy by saying, "I'm sorry for your loss." There is no need to be eloquent - a simple expression of concern can go a long way in alleviating the loneliness of the one who grieves. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we work hard to offer you what you need as you go through a difficult time. If you have questions about our services, call us at 347-3431. We're here to help, and we care. Quote: "Well has it been said that there is no grief like the grief which does not speak." ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow activity segment and his religious segments like the 5-K Run, Compass Points to Faith, Action Centers, Remote Centers, and a Guiness World Record Fire — Bucket Brigade. Merit badgets earned by Phillip were the finger printing, weather, and Engineering. While attending the jamboree the United States president spoke, and a. country music star sung a few songs. Phillip says he had a good time at the jamboree. Phillip is the son of Roy and Betty Thomas of Flint Hill and will be in the eighth grade at Rappahannock County High School. Festival planned 1 I?
