Salem Ave. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/CARL EBORN some of its leaves. By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Since its opening in March, the Virginia Livestock LLC of Front Royal seems to be pleasing cattle and horse buyers and consignors in a big way. Over $10.5 million worth of commercial grade cattle and other livestock have passed through the new auction house, making a lot of people very happy. The 8-month-old firm now ranks in the upper half of all cattle sales in Virginia. As Hetty Thompson, co-owner and office manager of the auction house, prepared for last Thursday afternoon’s cattle sale, she could hardly control her excitement. According to Thompson, she loves her job and loves the people she works with, buyers, consignors, and employees alike. “It’s just been wonderful/ she said, “the way people have trusted us. We were the new people on the block (and the farmers brought their cattle here to us to sell).* Buyers come regularly from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and West Virginia to purchase cattle, horses, and occasionally, goats and sheep. When Thompson and her partners, auctioneer Gary Vance and cattle-meister Rick Matthews opened their facility, they made a lot of improvements to what was the old Front Royal Livestock Market. New gate pens were added expanding cattle-holding capacity to about 1,600 head. A skid steer loader arrived to keep the sawdustbedded pens clean. And the operation was completely computerized, See MARKET, Page A6 Six year road plan under fire By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer It was standing room only for the public hearing on the county’s Six Year Road Secondary Road Plan Monday night. There was a good deal of criticism aimed at the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors and the Virginia Department of Transportation for failure to adequately inform county residents as to what the county’s plans for its secondary roads are. The supervisors pointed out that the plans for the secondary road system have been around since 1982 and until this year any controversy involving changes to roads had been minor. Bob Moore, resident engineer for VDOT, said that the projects VDOT is currently working are: setting up an informational meeting date for Route 610 concerning site distance problems on that road; taking bids for a contract for Route 620; taking bids for contracts for routes 616 and 617; paving a section of Route 616 off Route 626; working to complete widening and paving on Route 621; and they will hold a public hearing on Route 729 on Nov. 25 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Amissville fire hall. The board took complaints and compliments by districts. Wakefield Suggestions from this district were that proposed expansion and work on Route 630 should be shelved; Route 662 needs work due to dangerous site distance problems; and Route 638, which is not on the six year plan, should be on the plan. Hampton Susan Babcock, the Rappahannock Planning Commission’s representative from the Hampton District, spoke as a private citizen and said the county should re-think its approach to dealing with paving, widening and fixing secondary roads in order to preserve the beauty and unique quality of the county. Jackson A group of citizens who live along Four Springs Lane asked the board to include it on the six year plan as they desperately desire paving of that road. They agreed to provide written approvals for the board to give the county the 50 foot right-of-way along the road. The board then approved a motion to add Four Springs Lane to the six year plan.

In the process of expressing that sentiment, they elected James S. Gilmore III of Richmond as Virginia’s next governor. “Many people, independents and Democrats, voted for Gilmore because they want relief from the car tax,” said Larry Saba to, a University of Virginia politi cal analyst. “If he hadn’t made the car tax proposal, I think he still would have won, because (Gov. George) Allen is very popular, and the economy is good. But the margin would have been much narrower.” The day after the election, the anti-tax voters who gave Gilmore his large margin of victory over Democrat Donald S. Beyer may be wondering just who it is they’ve elected. See GOVERNOR, Page A6 Katzen sweeps district race By Dan Lowrey Rappahannock News Staff Writer In his biggest margin of victory date, Del. Jay Katzen was reelected the Virginia House of Delegates, winning all precincts of the 31st District and capturing 63 percent of the total vote. In statewide races, Republicans had a field day. In a clean sweep of statewide offices, they captured the governor’s mansion, the lieutenant governor’s post and the attorney general’s office. While Katzen retained his 31st District seat for the second time, 33 Republicans failed again to overturn the Democrat majority in the House of Delegates, which they have ruled since after Reconstruction. Many GOP candidates like Katzen affiliated themselves closely with Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Gilmore and his popular proposal to eliminate the personal property tax on cars and trucks. It was a strategy that paid off. “What we’ve proven together here,” Katzen told supporters at a victory party in Warrenton, “is that Virginians

Water shortage could mean fire hazard for town By Galen C. McBride Rappahannock News Staff Writer Volunteer Company 1 Fire Chief Roger Roach and Assistant Chief Ann Spieker agree that buildings in the Town of Washington are seriously at risk from fire, due to insufficient storage capacity in the town’s water supply system and shortage of daytime volunteers. Isaacs to speak at library By Diana Bird Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Is the proposed expansion of NATO, formally presented by President Clinton in Europe this summer, an inevitable event? The Friday evening library program scheduled for Nov. 14 at 8 p.m. will hear John D. Isaacs of Washington, D.C., discuss “NATO Expansion: Bad Idea, Worse Timing.” Tb change NATO, Congress will have to approve an amended treaty and appropriate billions of dollars to make it a reality. Isaacs’ talk will enlarge upon the matters many people who are concerned with foreign policy believe should persuade Congress to reject expansion. . Isaacs and his family have shared a place in Gid Brown Hollow for many years and will soon be enjoying the fall colors again. He is the executive director and president of The Council for a Livable World, a lobby on arms control and other national security interests. • The council was founded in 1962 by nuclear physicist Leo Szilard who believed the nation and Congress needed to be. warned of the threat of nuclear war and encouraged to adopt policies to prevent it. The council also is a political action committee that raises funds to support Senate and House candidates based on their interest in foreign affairs. Isaacs has worked for the council since 1978 and before that was a legislative assistant to former N.Y. Representative Stephen Solarz and a Foreign Service officer. He writes for the “Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists” and other publications. Some of “The Nine Deadly Risks of NATO Expansion” PUBLIC AUCTION Sat., Nov. 8 • 5:30 p.m. to ?

The entire water system would be depleted, eliminating all water for businesses John D. Isaacs that Isaacs will discuss relate to undermining chances for lessening the danger of nuclear war, risking heavy, new U.S. military expenditures, creating a weaker NATO and forcing military spending on Central and Eastern European countries that they can ill afford. While speaking against expansion, Isaacs can inform us on the pro arguments that the administration makes in support of its proposal. This issue is so controversial that both Virginia Senators John Warner and Chuck Robb have raised many questions about it and may not have committed themselves on it yet. As usual, the audience will have an opportunity to question Isaacs and speak to him after the talk while refreshments are served.

An alternative, of drawing water directly from the wells, is not viable because “there would not be sufficient pressure for the fire hydrants,” said Roach. Carrigan’s pond and the Willis’ pond are available emergency sources from which the pumpers can draw water, but algae can clog hoses and nozzles, rendering them inoperable after only a few minutes. Carrying capacity of water tankers runs in the 1,500 to 2,000 gallon range. Washington’s truck pumps 1,200 gallons per minute. Roach explained that transporting sufficient water any distance would be too time-consuming to be effective against a large fire. This poses a critical problem to a town where many of the buildings are wood construction and spaced closely together. What’s new this month By David Shaffer Librarian This month I’d like to highlight a few of the Rappahannock Library’s reference sources that folks may not be aware of. New to the library this month is the “Complete Learning Disabilities Directory (1998)” by Greg House Publishing. The LD Directory is a comprehensive one-stop source book for parents, students, and professionals. The directory provides information on LD associations, newsletters and magazines, books and tapes, and products and services. Some new chapters to the 1998 edition include adult literacy, attention deficit disorder, and learning centers. This user-friendly guide contains an entry index and subject index, as well as a handy state-by-state listing. Chapters are divided into several sub-chapters to help the user quickly locate desired information. Thinking of starting a new He estimated that at least one million gallons of water should be available for emergencies. The maximum that the town reservoir can now hold is approximately 100,000 gallons. The town, which does not have a local fire code, operates under state regulations. Roach said he is qualified to perform fire inspections, but none have been requested. Both he and Spieker are concerned that there appears to be “no conscious effort by the town to stress fire prevention.” Washington’s last major fire occurred about 10 years ago. The Washington House of Reproduction was severely damaged in that fire. “A large enough fire at The Inn could realistically take out Mrs. Coxe’s tavern, Dean Morehouse, Middle Street Gallery, and the house next business? The first stop is the library for Fred Steingold’s “Legal Guide For Starting and Running A Small Business.” Another great one-stop source, this book covers partnerships, permits, leases, insurance, taxes, and much more. Steingold avoids legalese, making this guide truly useful for those who want to understand these complicated issues. There are several helpful appendices with information on additional resources for the would-be entrepreneur. Another recent addition to the reference collection, “The Deskbook Encyclopedia of Employment Law” is art up-todate compilation of state and federal court decisions which effect employment in the private sector. This book covers such important topics as hiring and employment practices, age, race, and gender, discrimination, and employee benefits. A helpful glossary of legal terms is included. Until next month....see you at the library. TO US, THEY'RE A NEW SET OF GUIDING PRINCIPLES. BUT YOU CAN THINK OF THEM AS PROMISES.

Comprehensive services are chosen with the needs and best interests of our community in mind and are provided with care, competence, compassion and courtesy. I door to.it,” Roach emphasized. He said that “containment operations to protect peripheral buildings would be extremely difficult. There is not enough water available.” The town’s water system has other complications besides limited water storage. Electrical failures have plagued the well pumps, resulting in the town being entirely without water while repairs were made. Council members Steve Critzer, Charles Tompkins, and others have been working with Cronin to develop solutions to the problems. Cronin’s evaluation of several proposals will be discussed at the November town council meeting. The town is also affected by the larger county and national issue of a shortage of active fire fighting volunteers. Company 1 has approximately 20 members. State law requires that companies operate under a “2+2 rule” when fighting a fire. Two firefighters enter a building as a team, working under the buddy system, and two others remain outside as backup for an emergency rescue, should one become necessary. During the'daytime, however, only about three Washington volunteers are available. Roach believes that “daytime will never be taken care of until we get paid firefighters.” Fire chiefs in other stations throughout the county consider the situation to be even more acute in emergency medical services. Aging fire apparatus raises additional concern for both the volunteers and town property owners. Company l’s tanker truck will require either major refurbishment or replacement within the next two to three years because the truck’s body and water storage tank are rusting out. Roach estimated that refurbishment would cost approximately $100,000. Replacing the vehicle could cost up to $350,000. Both Roach and Spieker support replacement as a better long-term option, due to the age of the tanker. The town council pays $13,000 to Company 1 each year. Of that, $8,000 covers fire apparatus loan payments and $5,000 goes toward operating expenses. The state provides an annual stipend of $4,000 because part of the fire station is located within town boundaries. There are no state or federal grants available for the purchase of fire trucks. Fire chiefs and the rescue association personnel are looking to private foundations and other sources for financial support. Friends provide computer At the monthly meeting ot the Rappahannock County Library Board on Oct. 23, David Shaffer, library director, reported that the new computer for the circulation desk at the library has been installed and is working perfectly. The computer was provided by the Friends of the Library. The board reviewed the growing popularity and increased attendance of the Friday Night Programs for certain program topics. They agreed that another meeting place (a public school facility perhaps) may be necessary to provide adequate comfort and safety. It was noted that monthly statistics of usage of the library in many areas continue to increase. The Five Year Plan for the library, prepared by Shaffer was received with minor revisions. The treasurer reported the library operated within its approved budget for the first quarter of the fiscal year. The new podium constructed by Peter Kramer has been installed in the Jamieson Room. _ The board said they greatly appreciate the loan of several of a podium from Trinity Episcopal Church. That podium will be returned to the church.

The public hearing for the Six Year Secondary Road plan brought out 70 plus county residents, the majority of whom criticized the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, the Virginia Department of Transportation or the Rappahannock News for lack of information concerning county roads. In a continuing effort to keep citizens informed, the Rappahannock News will publish a series of articles on the county’s primary and secondary road plans, detailing plans for each road. : Articles on routes 729 and 621, U.S. 522 arid 211 have been published in the last six months. Those were roads about which residents have expressed concern. - Information on traffic calming has been covered in the paper by staff writers and by contributing writers such as Don Audette, a noted authority on the subject. The supervisors appeared somewhat bewildered Monday at the criticism launched at them and no wonder. The plans for county roads have only been around since 1982. During 1997, citizens have appeared before the supervisors to address issues over U.S. 211 and 522 and routes 621 and 729. The largest of those groups •numbered about 15 people. Bob Moore of VDOT has been available at almost every meeting of the supervisors this year to answer questions about VDOTs plans for county roads. There is also a public comment session during each meeting of the board of supervisors. The VDOT report and the public comment session are on every agenda, every month. Call your supervisor if you have questions: Hubert S. Gilkey, Wakefield District supervisor, 6351758; Charles K.”Pete” Estes, Piedmont District supervisor, 987-8951; Mike Massie, Hampton District supervisor, 675-3537; Robert Anderson, Stonewall-Hawthome District supervisor, 987-8206; and Ron Frazier, Jackson District supervisor, 937-5983. Or, call Bob Moore, VDOT resident engineer, at 347-6441. As the supervisors pointed out, there were many new faces at the hearing. At least half of those present have not attended a board meeting this year. There does remain a certain amount of individual responsibility to seek and obtain information on an issue.

Volunteers key to Headwaters success In recent issues the Rappahannock News has been covering the movement of Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation. This is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, taxexempt organization established by local volunteers for the purpose of strengthening our county’s public schools. It is completely independent of the school administration and is not a source of funds to replace tax revenues. Under director Linda Dietel, Headwaters works with the county teachers and supporters to provide students educational opportunities that might not otherwise be available. As a lifetime resident of Rappahannock and a graduate of Rappahannock public schools, I see the need and good this program can do for our students. ' In a recent interview with Linda Tarry, the foundation’s executive director, she stated that she viewed the goal of Headwaters is to support educational excellence through the resources . and volunteerism of the whole community to benefit all students. The tax based revenue budgeted to operate the public schools in Rappahannock, as in many school districts across the state and nation, does not afford the Opinion opportunity to give all students individualized programs they may require to achieve educational excellence. One success story of the foundation’s efforts is Roger Segella, a consultant who now resides in the county. Segella volunteers his experience and background in economics and the stock market. Segella works with students of Amy Gubler and Patty Clark, teachers at Rappahannock County High School. Through the Securities Industry Foundation for Economic Education (SIFEE), Segella has introduced the students to SMG2000. This is a stock market simulation and teaching program available through the Internet that works with students in grades 4 through 12. Students participate as teams in a classroom setting. Each team starts with an imaginary $100,000. They invest” the money in common stocks listed on the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market and the New York Stock Exchange. The teams make simulated stock trades via the Internet over a 10 week period. Segella’s teams started Sept. 29 and wall end Dec. 10. Team’s portfolios can be automatically updated daily. They can check their investments, returns and ranking against other teams across the nation. At the end of the 10 weeks participants whose hypothetical portfolio values have increased the most are given awards. Gubler has two teams using strictly the Internet to trade while Clark has two teams using only paper transactions for their investments. Gubler stated that the teams are very enthusiastic and competitive in having the best portfolio. The students are learning a tremendous amount about the nation’s economy, the stock market and how to invest money wisely with a hands on application. The foundation has awarded eight grants to the school. Grants ranged from buying building blocks for the kindergarten class, seed money to get an aluminum recycling program started, purchasing sound equipment for use in classrooms, to funds to expand the Peer Mediator Program that has been so successful. These are only a few of the many achievements that Can happen outside the operations of the schools’ budgeted tax dollars through volunteering. The Headwaters board of directors is made up of Rappahannock citizens who work together to enhance educational programs in our schools. ' “ Mary Ann Biggs, assistant superintendent, acts as the liaison between the school administration and the foundation. Biggs serves as ex-offi: cio and is a nonvoting member of the foundation. In an interview with Biggs I asked her, “What do you see in the long range plan for Headwaters?” ; , She replied, “We will bg here. Headwaters is a solid foundation of people who are sincerely concerned about the schools and the students. We want to do a lot more, however, it depends on resources and parents getting involved.” For parents and citizens who become involved, there is no better cause than one for our children’s future. Volunteering can be one of the most rewarding investments of a lifetime. Make a differr ence, get involved. For more information about Headwaters call 675r 1819 or write Headwaters, P.O. Box 448, Washington, Va. 22747. F.L. BUCK PAYNE Sperryville Letters to the Editor Where have you been? On Nov. 3, my husband and I went to the Washington courthouse where the Rappahannock Board of Supervisor’s Secondary Six Year Road plan meeting was being held. I’ve lived in the county all of my 23 years but had never attended a meeting of the board. We went with our neighbors to have the supervisors accept our tiny subdivision road into the rural additions list to get it paved. It went fairly well for us even though we won’t see action until 2050 probably. At least we came away thinking we’d been there for a purpose. I’m not quite so sure why some other people came other than to vent frustration over “the system.” I would never have expected there to be so many questions unrelated to the secondary road system. There were several persons who had just moved here in the last vear or so who wanted to know how the whole process worked. Call the representative for your district another day and ask. The meeting was not the place to waste their time explaining to the unknowing. For those who came with a grievance that they had never heard that paving was to be done on Route 621,1 feel sorry for you. Simply because I think most of you don’t read the newspaper or listen to your neighbors. Too busy hibernating I guess. The plans for Route 621 were set in motion as far back as 1982, if not before. Where were you? Even if you didn’t live in the county at the time, why did you not ask questions before you moved into your house? My husband and I are looking at a piece of property that was slated to have a road go through two years ago. We went to the meeting last night to look and see if that road was still in the plans before going ahead with our plan to purchase. Foresight I believe it’s called. I have to give a hand to the farmers that have lived here for 40 plus years who showed up to thank the Virginia Department of Transportation and the board for paving the other end of Route 621. They, of all people, know how dangerous a one lane dirt road is with their farm machinery. Before you hastily say they don’t travel the roads enough or aren’t important enough to have their opinions count, let me remind you that they are the ones who made the county the rural, beautiful land that it is. It could have been a whole different story. Last but not least, for the citizens of Rappahannock who think that paving a road instantly makes it an ugly, disgusting monster might I remind you that the only official scenic byways in the county are paved. If you believe that people onlv go on gravel roads to enjoy tne sdenery you haven’t driven these roads. Those who travel them, like me, are too busy craning their necks looking at the view. CAMILLA A. HARDING Amissville Snoop who? Maxie what? Recently, I, a Virginia octogenarian stumbled into the Tum-of-the-Century culture. On being advised by a Baltimore friend where go to for a glaucoma operation I was told, “of course, the Wilmer Institute glaucoma department chief-surgeon at Johns Hopkins.” My friend, in struggling to make his point irrefutable, went on, “He’s so much better than any local specialist. He’s Mozart compared to-to-to... (stuttering as he grasped for a persuasive simile) to Snoop Doggy Dogg!” Knowing who Mozart was but not knowing who Snoop Doggy Dogg is, I did not understand the comparison; therefore I decided to search out Snoop Doggy Dogg. But how? The local Wal-Mart has a huge collection of cassettes. In that store’s music department I found a 1,000 tapes, but no attendant, only a 12year-old girl customer with her younger sister. Bewildered I chanced asking if she knew of a Snoop Doggy Dogg. “Oh yes, he wraps!” As I looked for the package wrapping desk, I was relieved when she said, “I bet ter help you look!” At the rap stacks, she ran her little fingers and bright eyes over hundreds of titles, but to no avail. Her younger sister piped up, “You probably won’t find him. He’s not popular since he went to jail.” I asked the child what Snoop Doggy Dogg has done to go to prison. “Oh, something naughty!” she answered nonchalantly. Later I discovered he was not only involved in drugs early on, but he was charged with, though not con victed of, murder in 1993. (Yes, very naughty!) The sisters suggested I go to Maxie Waxie’s to buy a Snoop Doggy Dogg tape. Deadset on my research, I phoned 411 information, asking, with distinct pronunciation, for Maxie Waxie, please.” The operator replied, “Sorry, no Maxie Waxie.” I insisted there was one in a close by town. Finally my tongue became twisted and I again impatiently asked for “Waxie Maxie.” With a note of surprised recognition the operator said, “Oh yes, hold for the number.” Waxie Maxie had one tape of Snoop Doggy Dogg. Now, I have one tape, the Doggfather, by Snoop Doggy Dogg. But after all this I can’t - understand it. I guess it’s 1 crazy rappin’ music for a ; crazy rappin’ world! I guess I’ll just forget about my glaucoma and start rappin’! MARY JAMIESON SperryviHe Down Memory Lane 30 Years Ago Thursday, Nov. 2, 1967 Dr. Hugh M.

Girl’s basketball season winds up By Mary Beth Martin • Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County ftigh School Girls’ Varsity Basketball team never gave tip throughout the season, said Coach Luther Stanley, despite losing the 18 games they played this season. The George Mason High School game was lost last Thursday, Oct. 30, with a disappointing score of 20 to 90. They will challenge them again in a tournament game on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. in Fairfax. Stanley said he is going to prepare the team by working on slowing the ball down, so they play our game not George Mason’s. The Junior Varsity will also play on Nov. 6 in. a try for the championship. Stanley, girls’ varsity coach for four years, said the team is a young ball club this year with only two graduating seniors, Tiffany Keys and Julie Atkins. Next year with six new players joining the team, he hopes they will win more games. “They have the potential to be a good team,” he added. This has been a difficult year for injuries. Becca Metcalfe and Margo Haynes were out all season and Sonia Wiginton and Alice Orfila Gentry were out for several weeks. Stanley said there were four or five games that the* team could have easily won: the Manassas Park games ^ 'Holiday > Workshops At the State Arboretum!

The teams that count in the playoffs are Brentsville High School, George Mason High School and Manassas Park High School. Brentsville especially has a lot of talent, said Stanley, and he expects them to be advanced to AA ranking next year. The season started with Orange and Goochland, both AA ranked schools, although Rappahannock is only ranked as an A school due to its smaller size. Stanley used to coach the boys’ basketball team and in comparing the two teams he thought the girls were harder workers and better listeners than the boys. There is a good chance the girl’s basketball will be switched to the winter season with the boys’ basketball. There aren’t enough facilities since there will be two varsity and two varsity teams all competing for practice time in the gym, Stanley said. The elementary school gym has a poor floor for basketball and it is too small, he said. i AIRBORNE: Ashley McNeely, No. 35, takes a shot. mm m mm Did you know that the Rappahanock Animal Welfare League, RAWL, is the only county affil■■ <a fed NO KILL - REHOME animal rescue in Rappahannock Animal WoParo League Virgin i3? • Can you imagine that almost 300 abandoned, abused, neglected, or unwanted dogs are picked-up every year in Rappahannock CountyI • Can you believe that RAWL cares for, sterilizes, and finds new homes for just about everyone of these animals f ...and, there's so much more to see and learn — So, please come to RAWL's FIRST OPEN HOUSE Saturday, November 8th • 11:00am - 4:00 pm The Rappahannock County and RAWL Animal Shelter (on the grassy hill next to Rappahannock County's landfill) Refreshments and Silent Auction — (including donations from, Rare Finds, Horse & Hound, Faith Mountain, Cabin Fever Books, North Cliff Farm, Mountain View Obedience & Agility, and more) Meet RAWL's staff and Volunteers * Meet Rappahannock County's Animal Warden, Carl Menefee * and most importantly meet the many charming and lovable cats and dogs living at RAWL while we work to find them the right new homes!

Williams, Yowell will travel to state By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School’s Cross Country Team traveled to Towe Park in Charlottesville last week to compete in the Region B Cross Country meet. The team took fifth place in the region out of 14 schools that competed. But only the top four school teams advance to the state level. Rappahannock Cross Country Coach Dave van de Graaff said he was very proud of all the athletes and felt they had done a tremendous job this year. He said he also felt the teams would have probably taken fourth and qualified for state if they hadn’t lost some teams members earlier in the season. But he noted the team is young and that bodes well for their chances during the next several years. The top 15 individuals will go on to compete at the state level. Rappahannock has two team members who will be competing at the state meet this weekend at Great Meadow in Warren ton. The races are to be: 10:30 a.m. for A girls and 11:15 a.m. for A boys. Mark Williams and Beth Yowell will be representing Rappahannock at the stat4 level. ; Williams finished seventh at regionals with a time of 18:16. He had finished first at the Bull Run District meet held in Rappahannock the previous week with a time of 17:55. That time would have netted him fourth place in regionals. Yowell finished fifth at the district meet with a time of 21:41 and seventh last week at regionals with a time of 21:42. Rappahannock’s Matt Wolfe just missed a chance to travel to state with a sixteenth place finish in a time of 18:54. At the district meet he ran in 18:26. Caroline Baumgardner, who ran nineteenth with a time of 22:31, also had a better time at district, 22:05, which would have put her only a second behind the fifteenth place finisher from Buffalo Gap. BOUND FOR STATE: Mark Williams, above accepting his district first place award, finished seventh at regionals and is bound for the state finals set for Saturday at Great Meadow.

Governor From Page Al Some have labeled Gilmore dishonest” for promising something that he cannot guarantee will ever happen. Beyer himself has led that charge, calling Gilmore’s nocar-tax pledge a “gimmick” and a “fraud.” Political analysts around the state, while not going quite that far, have bluntly questioned how the new governor will get the tax cut District From Page Al want what we’ve achieved over the last four years. “And further, this campaign proved that you deserve a positive campaign on the issues, on the economy, on education and on welfare and on law and order and on the environment and on our constitution. These are the issues that I’m going to continue competing on.” He thanked his supporters, calling them “members of an unshakeable coalition.” “I just could not have done it without you,” he said. There were no tears and jew long faces at the election night headquarters of Paul Asciolla, the Democrat candidate for Delegate who ultiF—— through the General Assembly. ^1 don’t think you’ll see it,” said\ Stephen . Fuller, an economist and a professor of public policy at George Mason University. “This is one of those promises that is going to be interesting to watch, because it won’t happen. And since he doesn’t have to run for re-election, there’s no penalty for promising something like this.” Others say don’t underestimate the person behind the promise. mately took 31 percent of the district vote. The inevitable came early. By about 8:30 p.m. returns in Rappahannock indicated Katzen had won by a margin of more than two to one. Gilmore leading the ticket, Asciolla felt swept aside by the Republican tide. Asciolla took the news stoically. ‘When I left the house this morning, I said to my family what I tell my son Anthony on Saturday morning when I’m taking him to his soccer game. ‘Have fun, and if you lose, it’s not the end of the world.” Asciolla followed the lead of Democrats across the state by making education the central issue of his campaign. He attempted to paint Katzen as an “extremist.” But Katzen continued to hammer home his conservative platform flatly deny Gilmore enjoys a reputation as a good manager. He is also known for hiring based on professional skills, not politics and as a man of his word. During Gilmore’s tenure as attorney general, his staff of 140 attorneys recovered almost $348 million in court awards, settlements and negotiations, said Don Harrison, an office spokesman. However, most feel Gilmore must make good on his promise to rid taxpayers of the much-despised personal property tax on cars and trucks. < ing the extremist label. Libertarian candidate Robert Buchanan, in his first run for public office, established a modest base of support, winning six percent of the total district vote. “For a novice running for state delegate, I think I did a pretty good job,” Buchanan said. Buchanan acknowledged that his ultra-liberal social proposals, like the legalization of drugs and prostitution, may have been tough for voters to swallow. Still he makes no apologies for his beliefs. “I’m a freedom lover and a freedom fighter,” he said. George Rowand contributed to this story. On the county scene, Rosa Crocker, ran unopposed for school board representative from the Wakefield District and received 425 votes.

Citizens living there have called for a halt to the work in order to reassess what can be done to preserve the rural nature of the road and keep many of the large trees along the road from being cut down in order to allow widening of the road. At least seven people who live along the road spoke out against the plan and said they were never informed of what was in store for their road. In fact, they said, they were told individually that no one else was against the widening and paving. They got together several months ago and found out that most of them were against the plan for the road work. Carla Theodore, who lives on the road, said the fact that Market From Page A1 providing Thompson with upto-date records, direct access to their client-base, and financial data at her fingertips. All three owners bring years of experience to their jobs. They are equally committed to customer-service and care of their charges. This two-pronged approach is paying healthy dividends and earning enthusiastic praise. J.T. Woodward, a farmer from Castleton, retired and sold off all his cattle and farm equipment. “I got so depressed;"! couldn’t stand it,” he explained, so he comes to the sales periodically to buy more cows. Woodward is delighted with the help and service he received, saying that the firm is “satisfying his needs as a farmer. Absolutely all the way.” Dr. Monira Rifaat, owner of Manor Farm, said, “They’re super! We’re very happy with their service. We enjoy working the plan was done a long time ago is a good reason to look at it again. Jim Gannon, of Castleton, said he had come to observe but felt after hearing what people said that there is a very serious information gap between the citizens and the county which needs to be addressed. Moore said he would think about comments made at the hearing and submit a draft plan at next months board meeting which will be held Dec. 1. Other news • The board also heard the application from Wakefield Country Day School to divide the property for non-residential use so that the school will be separated from the remaining acreage of the Lynn Estate. The school lot would be 6.1225 acres, leaving a balance of five and a half with the estate. The board approved the application. • A report by Bob Dennis, chair of the Board of Assessors on the current reassessment which he said is almost complete and should be complete by Thanksgiving. He reported that the current assessment is only up slightly from the last, and the higher • percentage of increase is in the village areas. He also said this assessment has provoked relatively little controversy or complaints although there have been some. • Beverly Atkins, Commissioner of Revenue also addressed the supervisors concerning land use values. Class two through Class eight soils are adjusted. The supervisors recommended to Atkins that classes five, six, seven and eight (which is usually forest with them. They are attracting good buyers, which is what I need.” Attracting good buyers is extremely important to all three co-owners. Matthews devotes much of his business effort to marketing at the farm level, getting the right buyers together with sellers who have what' they are looking for. He makes a practice of knowing what cattle are going to be coining to market and assessing buyers needs. Some buyers regularly rely on Matthews’ professional expertise to purchase cattle for them from ringside, sight unseen. “There has been an unbelievable-'* turn around (locally). We have a great deal of appreciation to the buyers and consignors who have given us their trust to prove ourselves,” Matthews said. All the partners agree that, financially, things have been going well, too. “Our numbers are running right along with the rest of the industry,” confirmed Matthews. “Sale numbers have been consistent.

The rate has not yet been set and cannot be determined until next year. Class two, three and four would be at $720, $530 and $430 respectively. The board also decided to table the request for a recommendation as to how much time residents will have to complete and return the new forms concerning forestry management plans. The county does not yet have the forms but they have the information about how citizens may obtain them from the forestry service. Atkins said about 40 percent of those involved have already submitted their plans. Atkins recommended 12 to 24 months for completion of the plans. • Dr. David uangei, superintendent of schools, said the school board is looking at the problem of the leaky roof oyer the Rappahannock High School shop. They are also continuing to deal with the contractors about the leaking roof over the auditorium at the Rappahannock Elementary School (which has been leaking since it was put on.) • In executive session the board discussed then came out and adopted a resolution to move ahead with thd purchase of the Armentrout property. The closing will take place this week. The board has not yet stated a purpose for the property which is adjacent to the school property owned by the county. The purchase price was $4,000 per acre for 25 acres and with closing cost the purchase will total about $106,000. Additional information from the board of supervisors meeting will appear in next week’s issue of the Rappahannock News. Prices, too.” During September, the last month for which figures were available, the company auctioned over 4,000 head of cattle. Thompson said that sales “have progressed better than we ever imagined.” Spring sales figures held steady all through the summer and into the fall. A special graded sale earlier in the week saw more than 900 head auctioned in a single day. Using a telephone-auction hookup affiliated with the Virginia Cattlemen’s Association, Vance described the cattle to 32 buyers at one time. Some of the cattle were bought and . shipped ps far away as Oklahoma. » A graduate of the Kansas City, Mo., Auctioneers’ School, Vance has been a professional livestock auctioneer for most of his life. He and Thompson just returned from a government-sponsored feeder cattle sale in Canada. Invited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Virginia state specialists, they provided technical advice and assistance in establishing a grading system similar to the one used in the U.S. which is based on the size, frame and weight of the cattle being sold. Vance is “just overwhelmed” at the community’s acceptance. It takes the trust of both buyers and sellers to make this kind of an operation work.” He agreed that the number and quality of cattle brought to the auction has been very good, attracting buyers willing to pay competitive prices. Vance stays current with market fluctuations and, with Matthews, knows who is ready to sell. “We try to do a good job of promoting our cattle beforehand. That’s good for buyers. They can come to a particular sale, knowing in advance what cattle will be there.” On the first Saturday of every month, Virginia Livestock hosts a horse and pony sale. Like the cattle sales, it is attended by a representative from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and a veterinarian who certify the health of the animals. Potential buyers can inspect all the animals in holding pens before the auction begins. Some are sold under private arrangements without ever coming out into the auction ring. While Matthews does purchase cattle for buyers, he generally doesn’t buy or sell horses. Instead, he arranges for buyers and sellers to meet. The auction house receives a commission for every horse that is sold on the property. Carolyn Willingham’s Li’l Barnyard Restaurant occupies the ground floor of the livestock building. Open daily except Wednesdays and Sundays, this eatery comes recommended by visitors and auction employees as a satisfying mixture of delicious downhome cooking and service-with-a-smile.

• Neighbors/B5 • Obituaries/B5 * Classifieds/B * Real Estate/B November 5, 1997 Japanese Maples beautiful and a good investment • By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer Eastwoods’ Nurseries grows over 250 varieties of incredibly beautiful and expensive Japanese maples at the foot of Rappahannock’s Long Mountain. Henry Eastwood said he tried to raise, ground cover and pigs (they were delicious, he said) but nothing worked out to be a good investment, until he discovered Japanese maples in 1990. Not only that, they are amazing plants with their own spiritual quality, he said. He talks about each of his trees the way a parent speaks about his or her child and he has 9,000 trees, including many young ones which need constant care. When at home, he mows, weeds, prunes, wires, waters and fertilizes trees from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., daily. A greenhouse protects the youngest and most delicate trees and Eastwood just installed a Ttape drip irrigation system to help water his trees which suffered from the drought this past summer. The key to making it a successful business has been in the marketing. These are hardy plants that are objects of interest, said Eastwood, and his mission is to make a place for Japanese maples in the landscape design world. He spends a considerable amount of time, energy and money carrying his trees to garden shows from New Orleans to New York. Eastwood said he is no longer turning down invitations to talk at shows and was pleased to be invited to lecture at a well-known garden club, the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons on Long Island, N.Y. Frances Dawes Schroeder, Eastwood’s wife, plans to be equally involved and is enrolled in a landscape design program at George Washington University. She is employed at the Horticultural Services at the Smithsonian and is working on a project that computer catalogs items of interest from the Garden Clubs of America. The Washington Post and Garden Gate Magazine have both featured Eastwood’s maples in articles and he said it has brought him more business than he is able to deal with comfortably. He said he doesn’t have the manpower to be open to the public 40 hours a week, so his hours are limited to the weekends by appointment. In 1972 the Eastwoods bought their farm in Rappahannock. They commuted into Washington, D.C. for several years and then, bought a second house there. For 25 years they owned a photography business in Washington, D.C., Schroeder-Eastwood Photography. They have two children, Heather, 18, a student at the University of Virginia, and Brandon, 12, who attends Highland School in Warrentori. Winter residents return A number of readers wrote in response to my request for arrival dates of winter residents: the Junco and Whitethroated Sparrow. Karin MacDowell of Waterford had the earliest date for the gentle little white-throat. She wrote a delightful letter, dated Oct. 9, in which she wrote: “I heard a White-throated Sparrow last week, then about three days later, I saw one. As is usual with us bird watchers, one report of a bird sighting leads to another and Karin, an old friend, described an early morning experience with a Barred Owl that she saw hunting near her house. The owl “...looked like an old lady in the face. All grey and pinched looking. That observation made my day.” It would have made mine also. Two reports came in of Junco sightings on Oct. 11. C.W. Hayward of Orlean saw one at 6 p.m. on that date. What a fine way to end a glorious October day. Rita Paine of Warrenton also reported a Junco on Oct. 11. She feeds birds on the deck outside her family room. When I visit her I spend all my time looking out the window at the birds. I fear I am not a very communicative guest for my verbal contributions consist of announcing birds I see on the deck: “Cardinal, Mourning Dove, titmouse,” and so on. Once Rita, a consistently careful observer (and reporter), telephoned to say she had a vulture on her deck railing! I suppose that big bird was after the suet that Rita keeps in a wire basket. Eleanor Davis of Berryville wrote a charming letter in which she reported a Whitecrowned Sparrow at her feeder on Oct. 13. That rare and elegant bird is a definite bonus or, at any rate, it is for me. The adult sparrow had bold black and white stripes on its head and has an aristocratic look about it. On the day she wrote her letter, Oct. 14, Davis also saw a Junco along with “the regulars: House Finches, Golfinches, jays and doves." Eleanor Davis also wrote that she fed birds all summer because the Indigo Bunting, of the “...most glorious color,” was a regular at her feeder. I have heard that story over and over again. It seems the bunting became a regular at a number of feeders last summer. Now that close relative of All Things Wild And Beautiful John Trott the sparrows is in Mexico and Central America. Its plumage is, after molting, brown with only hints of blue. I don’t suppose feeders are common in Mexico where the birds spend the winter months. There is plenty of natural food in the tropics where winter never comes. Ann Brown of Millwood reads the column in the Clarke Courier. She observed Juncos and White-throated Sparrows at her feeder on Oct. 18. Her card was mailed on Oct. 28 and she wrote she had not seen these two birds since Oct. 18. No doubt her sightings were of birds stopping over for food on their way farther south. Her residents birds will appear later; indeed they may already be there. If Juncos and Whitethroated Sparrows had been banded last winter, it can be reasonably expected they would return to the same yard and feeder this fall. These winter residents are attached to summer nesting in New England and Canada and winter feeding territories in Virginia as if by a rubber band. They turn up with regularity at both places year after year. I heard my first Whitethroated Sparrow of the year on Oct. 20 at Bull’s Island National Wildlife Refuge off the coast near Charleston, S.C. For six years Lee Trott and I have conducted Nature Week from a small inn on Pawleys Island. Its always an exciting week of bird sightings with enthusiastic bird watchers. Our total for the week was 103 species of birds. We returned late yesterday, Oct. 30, after a long drive back into glorious fall color. South Carolina was still green. Today I will go to the Post Office to pick up the mail that has accumulated since we left on Oct. 17. I suspect there will be more reports of “snowbird” and White-throated Sparrows sightings. I’m mighty glad to be back among the woods and hills of Virginia. FLEDGLING MAPLES: Henry Eastwood among his trees in the greenhouse at Eastwood’s Nurseries. Eastwood was raised in Pasadena, Calif, and went to the Brooks Institute of Photography • in Santa Barbara. The visual eye he developed in photography led him to appreciate the beauty of these delicate trees and he thrives on the outdoor work, but said he gladly gave up his photography business to devote himself to his new business, Eastwoods’ Nurseries. Japanese Maples “At certain times of the year each tree expresses its unique properties, otherwise a few trees can be confused with each other,” said Eastwood. The humidity and the cold affect the color dramatically, he added, and he revels in the unique beauty of each variety. Eastwood’s Japanese maples are well suited to Rappahannock growing conditions since all of his trees originally came from Japan or the Korean peninsula which are on the same latitude and have comparable climate. All of his younger trees show water stress from this summer’s drought as well as suffering from a difficult spring where everything leafed out in March and then withered in an April frost. “Hundreds of our small trees were lost,” he said, “and this fall the foliage is not as dramatic as in previous years.” The best sites for Japanese maples are in partial shade unless you are able to water the tree, and if you are, full sun is also desirable. The root system is fairly shallow making the trees more susceptible to water stress, yet also making transplanting fairly simple. Mulching is an excellent practice which protects the trees in dry times. The trees are able to grow in less than perfect soil, although a sandy loam with a medium amount of organic matter is perfect for Japanese maples. They do require welldrained soil and do not tolerate boggy, wet places. Eastwood suggests adding Photo Courtesy of RAAC CONCERT: On Saturday, Nov. 15 the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community presents local musicians Lorraine Duisit, left, and Tom Espinola in concert at 8 p.m. at The Theatre. Duisit, Espinola in concert On Saturday, Nov. 15 the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community will present local musicians Lorraine Duisit and Tom Espinola in concert at 8 p.m. at the Theatre at Washington on Gay Street. Duisit and Espinda are well known to local audiences for their original music which, according to a recent review in The Washington Post, “sneaks up out of old traditions and surprises you with new twists.” The concert will include music from the couple’s recent release, Which Way Waltz, featuring a family of mandolins, Troubadour harp, guitar, percussion and of course Duisit’s unique voice, which has been described as “pleading and detached, winsome and wise.” The pieces from this latest recording are based on the model of traditional dance music which pays a debt of gratitude to Espinola’s native Southern upbringing. “My youthful winters were spent studying classical, iazz, and rock music in a southern Virginia town” he confides. “But my summers were spent in the sultry tobacco fields of eastern North Carolina ‘studying’ what was referred to by the locals as ‘country music.’ Friday and Saturday nights were spent under a massive ancient oak tree with instruments in hand and libation at foot. The memory of the faces of those gentlemen has lit the creative path for me.” This husband and wife team have combined a wide variety of musical influences and uniquely personal vision to create music which is hard to pigeonhole. Together they produce a delicate tapestry of sound that works as a seamless whole, but is all the more beautiful when one examines the intricate weaving of its threads. Tickets for the performance are $10 if purchased or reserved in advance and will be $12 at the door. Tickets are available at Mountainside Market in Sperryville or may be reserved by calling RAAC at 675-3193. compost or composted manure to the base of the trees each spring. He also uses a processed fish emulsion fertilizer for foliar and ground feeding. His trees are hardy to Zone 5, which is a colder climate than Rappahannock, although occasionally in severe winters hardier plants are desirable. Eastwood said the Japanese maples are basically pest free, however, when pests TLC: This Japanese Maple had some problems and is being nursed back to health in the safety of the greenhouse. from neighboring plants bother them he is satisfied using natural pesticides, like hot pepper. Insecticidal soaps are not recommended for Japanese maples, Eastwood said. An old time practice he swears by is watering with rainwater. Leaf types are divided into two main types: dissected and non dissected. The dissected leaves are deeply divided, and can be called lacy. Trees with this type of leaf are mounding shrubs or low-growing trees. Non dissected leaves have the appearance of palm leaves with five, seven or nine lobes. Trees with this type of leaf are usually upright and look more like a tree than a shrub. Eastwood’s Japanese maples are cultivars or grafted trees. The mature base or understock of his trees is the hardy Acer palmatum. He has a staggering variety to choose from, each different from the next. There are Inaba Shidare, rare Garyu, Acer japonicum ‘Aconitifolium,’ Menikamchi and Ap’yezo Nishiki, to name a few. Eastwood Nurseries is in Washington, Va a and may be reached at 675-1234.

Bradley was honored on Oct. 5 with a surprise 90th birthday party at his home in Amissville. Bradley was born Oct. 7, 1907 in Cashiers, N.C. On Sept. 8, 1930 he married Maude H. Baumgarner. In 1937 the Bradleys moved to Arlington, where he worked as a carpenter until 1946. At that time he opened his own shop called Bradley’s Lawnmower Shop in Falls Church and operated the shop until retirement in 1969. Following retirement Mr. and Mrs. Bradley moved to Amissville where they enjoyed gardening and Mr. Bradley continued to fix moWers for neighbors. His wife of 69 years died in September 1989. Hobbies include planting grapes and blackberries which according to Bradley is the size of a quarter. He also grew eight different types of pole beans this year. According to his daughter, he also loves his small dog, Bubba. She says wherever you see Bubba, you see Dad. The Bradleys were parents to five children Helen M. Edwards of Manassas, Donald F. Bradley of Fairfax, Betty A. Bridges of Warrenton, Robert C. Bradley and James T. Bradley, both of Falls Church. The Bradleys also have 18 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren and eight great great grandchildren. Approximately 63 family members and friends, some traveling from as far away as Alaska enjoyed the special celebration.

Fairlea B&B featured in cookbook A new cookbook, “Innkeepers” Best Muffins”, features Cranberry Cream Cheese Muffins by Susan Longyear, innkeeper at Fairlea Farm Bed & Breakfast in Washington, Va. This new cookbook contains mouthwatering muffin recipes from 50 Bed and Breakfast inns across America. Recipes from only three Virginia bed and breakfast inns are included: Fairlea Farm Bed & Breakfast, Washington; L’Auberge Provencale, White Post; and Inn at Grist Mill Square, Warm Springs. “Innkeepers’ Best Muffins” include muffin creations such as Apple Crunch, Banana Pistachio, Chocolate Cheesecake, Pear Almond, Orange Nut, Pumpkin Apple Streusel and White Chocolate. Recipes requested over and over by guests have been collected in the new series of cookbooks published by Down to Earth Publications, St. Paul, Minn. The cost is $9.95 each. In these cookbooks travel writer and veteran-inngoer Laura Zahn showcases 60 recipes that B&B innkeepers consider their most outstanding. The books also include a write-up on each inn, so readers can get a “taste” of the B&B and whet their appetite for B&B travel. Fairlea Farm Bed & Breakfast is located in “Little” Washington, Va. just 70 miles from the District of Columbia. It is the manor house on a working cattle and sheep farm and has a spectacular view of vast pastures and the Blue Ridge Mountains. On a clear day...if you know exactly where to look...you can even see cars in the distance along Skyline Drive. Fairlea Farm also has the advantage of being within two blocks of the center of the Town of Washington and the world-renown Inn at Little Washington. George Washington surveyed and laid out plans for the village when he was 17 years old. When you are at Fairlea Farm you can imagine him walking through the meadows as he staked out the town boundaries. The manor house was built with fieldstone gathered from local farmland, giving it a color characteristic of the soil here in Rappahannock County. All rooms are large and comfortable, decorated with a homey, country touch. The Suite, the largest guest room, features a grand stone fireplace, a comfortable sitting area with queen-sized sofa bed, a compact kitchenette, a queensized four-poster bed, airconditioning, and a private bathroom with shower ($130.63 per night, double occupancy, tax included). There is also a trundle bed in this guest room. (Guests with children are offered the Suite because of its privacy and seclusion, and an additional charge of $25 per person will be added.) The Rose Room has a queen-sized canopied featherbed and adjoining bathroom with tub and shower ($99.28), and the Meadow Room next door to the Rose Room is also queen-bedded, has lovely views of pastures and mountains, and its bath is two steps across the hall ($78.38). The fourth guest room, the Magnolia Room is a large master bedroom with a queen-sized canopied bed, an inviting sitting area with a classic sofa, and a large private bathroom with double sinks, lots of counter space, and tub and shower ($110 per night). The Magnolia Room is located on the main level of the house and no stairs access it, making this guest room particularly easy on those who find it difficult to use stairs. And of course a big country breakfast (everything is homemade!) is served at the guests’ convenience in the morning. Guests at Fairlea Farm B&B enjoy these muffins. Cranberry Cream Cheese Muffins 1 cup butter, softened 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 4 eggs 2 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (or blueberries or raspberries) dusted with 2 tablespoons flour 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the butter mixture gradually. Fold in cranberries and nuts. Spoon batter into greased muffin cups. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

Thanks extended to Amissville VFD Our community is truly fortunate to have a Fire and Rescue Company whose volunteers organize activities for our young people such as the Halloween party Friday night. The kids played several games after the costume judging and the parents were able to visit with friends and neighbors while taste testing the desserts. It was a job well done and we appreciate everyone’s efforts. October was a busy month a(t the Donald Jones’ home. First, cousins stopped in for an afternoon visit from Wisconsin Dells, Wis.

Rapp, beef producers providing kits All parents have high hopes for their children. Among other things parents everywhere want their children to be healthy, eat right and receive good educations. Beef producers in Rappahannock County and across the country are helping parents meet those three goals through a fun new beef checkoff-funded education kit for grade school children. Fit For a King is an awardwinning video kit designed to educate third through fifth graders and their parents about living heart-healthy lives. “The majority of these kinds of kits are designed to educate nutritionists or be used in the classroom by teachers,” said Cynthia Boggs, Director of Education and Beef Promotion of the Virginia Cattle Industry Board. “This kit speaks to children and their parents, giving them an opportunity to learn together in the home, where most meal decisions are made.” The kit is successful, Boggs said, because of the realism of the characters and their ability to relate to children. The video tells the story of an ordinary 12-year-old turned king who realizes that in order to ask his subjects to live healthy lives, he must learn to do the same. “It’s important to communicate with children in a medium they understand and enjoy,” said Boggs. “Fit For a King is a believable fantasy that not only entertains kids but also uses their peers to communicate important nutrition messages.” I Have something to say about public issues?

The beef checkoff-funded video kit is part of a nationwide initiative to provide tools for health and educating professionals to use in educating and establishing healthy lifestyles for children. The kit is co-sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, The Sugar Association and The American Dietetic Association. “Beef producers take their responsibility to inform and educate about nutrition seriously,” said Boggs. “Our successful work with other organizations in this kind of effort directed at young people is a good investment in the future of Rappahannock County and this country.” PermaTreal PEST AND TERMITE CONTROL FREE INSPECTION!
