.1 ki - tiiPd -***4»*i '■ RICHMOND VA 23219-1905 50 cents $3 million bond sale resolution approved By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Following a three-hour public hearing at the high school, the board of supervisors voted in favor, 4-1, to approve the resolution “authorizing the issuance, sale and award of not to exceed $3,000,000 general obligation school bonds.” Of the approximately 150 people in attendance, about 90 percent were clearly in favor of the resolution. The meeting had convened at the courthouse as scheduled but had to be recessed and re-convened at the high school to accommodate the large crowd. Dr. David Gangel, superintendent, briefly spoke and outlined the reasons the school r board had asked the board of supervisors to approve the resolution: problems with current usage of areas at the high school; scheduling problems for students and curriculum cuts; planned growth for the vocational education program; space and staff problems due to SOL requirements; and future growth. Peter Kreyling, a member of the citizens advisory committee which studied the expansion, said that the committee had liked the idea of the middle school concept but clearly the cost was prohibitive for this county. He said they felt the expansion was the best solution at this point. Wakefield Supervisor Roger Welch agreed, saying he would have preferred to see a middle school built but clearly it was not possible. “When you can do the best thing you have to do the next best thing,” he said. “That’s what I hope we’re going to do here tonight.” But there were those who argued against the bond sale. Newbill Miller of Washington, Pat Saltonstall of Flint Hill, Bill Anderson of Washington, Mary Wiley of Rock Mills, Forest Whorton of Castleton and Bob Darby of Woodville all urged the supervisors to put the matter to a vote with a referendum. Darby said he was concerned about the projected figures for growth in student See BOND, Page A2 KEY Gr= Class room T= Toilet P= Practice Room 0= Office S= Storage M= Maintenance (The new addition is in red) Expansion Th# now addition forth# high icbool will ba 11,MO iq.fT E Draft Apple season mi.

Two elderly women went into an antique store in Washington, Va. last week and told the proprietor they were needlepoint instructors from New Mexico. One of the women, it t was reported, had a Canadian accent. A conversation ensued and the women said they had a rug in the car, that they had used in classes on needlepoint which they taught, and they would be interested in selling it. They brought the rug in, reached an agreement with the proprietor and sold it for $600. After they left the proprietor discovered a tag on the back of the rug, that had been marked out with magic marker, which read “Made in China.” A stop payment was put on the check given to the women but they had already cashed it. The sheriff’s office has alerted other businesses here and in Culpeper County about the scam. An ornamental copper kettle, dating to the early 1800s and valued at $4,000, was taken from a lot off Route 622, Rock Mills Road month. The owner, whose identity is not being released due to the ongoing investigation, is in the process of building a home on the lot and had stored the antique kettle in what was termed a “well hidden place” by Lt. Larry Sherertz of the sheriff’s office. The larceny occurred prior to Sept. 19. Wastewater facility checked out By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer On Sept. 16, eight members of the Town of Washington ' Wastewater Study Committee took a fourhour trip to Watoga State Park along the Greenbrier River in West Virginia where they visited a wastewater facility. It was a system recommended in a feasibility study by Resource International, and the general consensus was that this was a good choice for Washington. Committee members Charlie Tbmpkins and Stew Willis both said they were impressed with the system’s simplicity and lack of odor. Willis said the mtgor attraction to him was that if the town can find the space, one acre would accommodate the above ground system. If screened by trees, no one would know it was even there, he added.

Loan Closet looking, hoping for new home By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer “We need a new home for our equipment,” said Ellen Pullen. “We are limited in how much we can do because we don’t have more space.” Pullen is one of the six volunteers who run the Rappahannock Convalescent Loan Closet. Although in continuous operation for 11 years, a lot of people still don’t know about the organization and what it offers the residents of this county. The loan closet, a non-profit organization, has all manner of sickroom equipment which they make available to county residents for free. They ask only that anyone borrowing equipment come and pick it up at the loan closet and return it after three months. If the equipment is needed for longer than that the person need only notify a member. Now the organization is looking for a new home for its equipment. The building they currently have, a small shed behind the old Washington School, is packed full and hard for some of the Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan LaValley A HELPING HAND: Ethel Bailey with equipment from the loan closet. volunteers to get in and out of, and about a third of their equipment is loaned out.

Pullen said they are hoping maybe someone will donate a small piece of land on which they could put up a storage building or suggest another building they could use for the loan closet. The program, started in 1987, survives on donations they receive and a yearly fund raiser held on July 4. “We’d also like to have more able bodied people to help,” Pullen said. Right now Jim Marangoni is the only person they have who can help lift and move equipment. Their “rules” are simple: use equipment only as long as needed then return it, not alter it, replace lost or stolen items, and clean the equipment with disinfectant before returning.

Peter Luke, county attorney and John McCarthy, county administrator, explained that a request for a referendum would have to be made by the school board and then approved by the supervisors. If the supervisors had voted down the resolution then the i school board could have requested a referendum but it would have to have been on a | special ballot because they were too late to include it in the November election. A ! request .for a referendum must be made to the Circuit Court 60 days in advance of a ; scheduled election to be included on the ballot for that election. Gangel said the school board felt it was more cost effective and timely to request the resolution from the board rather than have to hold a ref| erendum. If the issue had ; been voted down in a referendum then they would be back to square one and would have done what they did but would have wasted a lot of time. Time, he said, is critical. Many people who spoke at the hearing echoed his comments. Jackson District Supervisor Ron Frazier said many people had voiced concerns he had had about the definite needs in the school system. He said he had called for a referendum to be initiated in July but it has to come from the school board. Board chair Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he had problems with the amount of funds outlined for athletic fields and suggested a figure of $2.5 million. Frazier made a motion to approve the $2.5 million figure and Estes seconded the motion but it was voted down. Massie motioned for approval of the $3 million figure and the board approved it with Frazier voting no. Bond counsel Carolyn Perry explained the procedure for the sale and said Oct. 9 is the deadline, after that there is no backing out. They expect an interest rate below 4.92 percent (the spring sale percentage) and things in the bond market look very favorable she said. Correction The charge against Russell Purcell Martin was for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, not marijuana. The Rappahannock News regrets the error. BANKRUPT? REPOSSESSION?

The popular Bla’gum tree Like a single bright ornament on a Christmas tree, the crimson leaf on a black gum stood out against the tree’s lustrous green foliage. I saw that recently from the car; we were driving along Route 647, Crest Hill Road, from Flint Hill to Marshall. T\ibes carrying water to that one leaf had been sealed off. Result: death and transparency of the green chlorophyll cells, allowing the red pigment, which had been there all along, to shine through. That single crimson leaf emphatically announced autumn, the time of leaf color and leaf fall. Many trees have begun to shed still-green leaves as a way of dealing with the severe drought. Water is absorbed through the roots of a tree, carried up and out through the branches and twigs into the leaves where it is dispelled as vapor into the air. Fewer leaves means the tree needs less water. It’s a safety precaution; a natural process for dealing with lack of rainfall. Nature is telling us that things are under control and trees know how to deal with the drought. My guess is that the big red maple in my side yard has experienced a severe lack of water before. This drought is not new for that tree. Black gum trees often display a few bright red leaves as early as July so the one I saw from the car is not unusual. Farther up the road, I saw black gum with many leaves that had gone from green to crimson. One October — many years ago — I saw a large, perfectly formed tree in the middle of a field. The tree glowed with color, a deep crimson. At the time I did not know the tree’s identity but I quickly learned it. I had to know its name. It was a black gum, or bla’gum, as it is called in my part of North Carolina. Scientific name: All Things Wild And Wonderful John Trott Nyssa sylvatica. This Latin name makes good sense. Nyssa was a water sprite, or spirit, in Greek mythology. Bla’gum thrives in swamps and loves wet ground. Sylvatica simply means “of the forest.” If many common names reflect a tree’s popularity, then this one has had, many admirers. Nyssa Sylvatica is known as black gum, sour gum, wahoo, pepperidge tree and both tupelo and water tupelo. Tupelo comes to us from Native Americans, the Creek Indians to be exact. The bla’gum has a very straight trunk from which the branches aggressively thrust outward, usually at a 90 degree angle from the trunk. This makes the tree easy to recognize in winter, especially after a close look at the bark, which is thick, rough and dark grayish black scored with many irregular furrows. A number of writers refer to the bark “as looking like alligator skin.” When I taught the study of trees, dendrology, in junior and senior high school, I was often impatient with students who consistently confused Nyssa leaves with those of the dogwood. No doubt this confusion resulted from some flaw in my manipulation of that complicate process called “teaching” with the supposed result of “learning.” Too many confused students were not wrong. The basic leaf shape of the two trees is very similar; they are egg-shaped though the books use the term botanists Erefer, obovate. The leaves of oth trees have entire edges; there are no teeth. The leaf of Nyssa is widest above the middle of the leaf; dogwood leaves are widest at the exact center of the leaf. Once I pointed that out, students quickly grasped the difference between the two trees. Besides that, bla’gum leaves are glossily green, looking almost as if they might be evergreen. They are not, as my single crimson leaf on one tree proves. ' If a number of common names indicate affection and awareness among regular folk, the amount written about Nyssa sylvatica reveals its popularity among botanists. In researching the tree for this column I found page after page of description. Writers seemed to be trying to outdo themselves in communicating affection for this tree. Trees of the Southeastern States (by William C. Coker and H. Roland Totten, The University of North Carolina Press, 1945) is sadly out of frint. It is a favorite of mine. am not sure whether that is because it is a thorough and informative book or because Roland Totten was my inspired and inspiring teacher. To him, I owe my love of trees. This well-illustrated and gracefully written book occasionally turns up in second hand stores. In reading the account of bla’gum in what I call “Dr. Totten’s book,” I found the following: “A conspicuous characteristic of the Black Gum is the way in which the tree begins to ‘grow shorter’ upon reaching old age. For many years the Black Gum holds a bald stump aloft above its green branches as death, followed by decay at a respectful distance, creeps down from the top.” Now I will keep a close look out for a bla’gum growing shorter with age. May death continue to follow at a “respectful distance.” Books needed for program The month of October has been designated RSVP Month by the Association of RSVP Directors. The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programs in our five county area (Planning District 9) are dedicated to the progress in our communities through the power of volunteerism. Throughout our nation we have put a great emphasis on the “America Reads” program working toward the goal that all children in America learn to read. We will be celebrating “Make a Difference Day” on Oct. 24 through supporting locally the “America Reads” program. We have planned a “Children’s Book Drive.” We are asking you to donate new and used children’s books in good condition. The drop off point for Rappahannock County is Rappahannock Family Guidance, 360 B. Main Street, Washington, Va. The contact person for the county is Jeanie McNear, RSVP coordinator. You may also contact Annie Barfield, RSVP director at 825-3100 ext. 3358. We will be asking teams of RSVP volunteers to deliver these donated books to the local Department of Social Services, Rappahannock Family Gui dance and Rappahannock Elementary School. Donations will be received until Oct. 22 and on Oct. 24. They will be distributed to the programs in the county. Community support is vital. If everyone who reads this gives one book, it is believed everyone who needs a book will receive one. In celebration of the nation’s America Reads Program, Oct. 24, take the time to tell a child about this project and then share some special time reading to that special child.

Mentors receive training By Bob Scott Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Charter Class of 14 Starfish mentors received symbolic graduation pins upon completion of a very well designed and professionally presented training program conducted at the library Sept. 18 and 19. The Starfish Executive Board: Lois Manookian, Judy Tole, Ellen Neill-Dore and Mary O’Meara produced a thoughtfully conceived training course complete with a 52-page mentor’s handbook that includes everything that prospective volunteer mentors would ever need to know. The first class of mentor trainees included Carl Aplin, Jeanne Drevas-Aplin, Mary Anne Biggs, Lee Bird, Diana Bird, John Byam, Meghan Fairbrother, Margaret Gottlieb, Sid Gottlieb, Jenny Hickey, Jim Hickey, Sharon Kilpatrick, Bob Scott and Linda Wright. An evening session on Sept. 18 included a most enthusiastic welcome by Manookian followed by an introduction to the handbook by Tble. Organizational and administrative presentations were given by STARFISH Neill-Dore and OTVleara including a discussion of procedural guidelines, policy concerns, definition of terms and a practical list ^ of mentor/mentee “do’s and . don’ts” all revealing an extensive background • of mentoring experience and relevant research. Concluding this session the class was given the benefit of valuable and practical experience when Susan Fox gave her interesting presentation. The mother of three grown children who had attended our county schools Fox has been counseling Rappahannock students for many years. She is currently the Dropout Prevention Coordinator at RCHS. Her summation of our students: “They are the most honest, open kids I’ve ever been around. You can learn as much from them as they will learn from you.” The morning session on Sept. 19 was a little less structured allowing for mentor trainees to ask specific ques tions needed to overcome any personal apprehensions " about what the commitment or mentoring process fc# might entail. The group of vol unteers represented an unrealized wealth of individual experience, talents and skills that constituted a community resource for implementing the Starfish program. It was both interesting and inspirational to realize what each of us might do as a group who “cared enough to share our very best” with young people. Mary Anne Biggs enhanced the important subject of communication with wisdom and humor inspiring all of us to communicate more creatively. The executive board has already announced the scheduling of additional mentor training sessions.

& ' * ft j Celebrate 4-H Week W I* Fabulous 4-H fun in the summer and all year National 4-H Week The Rappahannock County 4-H program is ready for another exciting year. To make the 4-H program even better, the search is on for a new adult volunteer leaders. We have many children that could join 4-H if we had more project and community clubs to offer them. The only way to accomplish this is having more adult volunteer leaders. Some new project areas and 4-H activities that we could offer in Rappahannock County are poultry judging, intrastate exchange program, babysitting, sewing, forestry, fishing, wildlife, woodworking, and aerospace. Four-H offers the program and support materials for these project areas. If anyone is interested in becoming involved in 4-H, call the Extension office at 675-3619. Four-H clubs usually meet once a month.

Day Camp Four-H’ers from Rappahannock County had fun at the yearly 4-H Summer Day Camp program held at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center near Front Royal in June. Seventy-one campers enjoyed the week filled with informative classes and fun afternoon programs such as a carnival, campfire, and the U.S. Customs Canine Enforcement Unit demonstration with the "‘drug dog.” uur sincere tnanKs to the instructors for the week: Candice Lamma, Charlotte Nichols, Bill Welch, Kenner Love, Ericka Miller, Mark Williams, Lucy Burnham, Amanda Brown, Vickie Miller, Ceceila Dennis, Edie Falls, Yvette Payne, Chanta Brown, Robin Frye, Ginger Estes, Kathy Smoot, Cheryl Taylor, Patti Want, Sarah Brown, and Shannon Swain. These instructors worked very hard to plan their week long class program and endured, at times, “hot temperatures.” We would also like to thank the Washington Volunteer Fire Department for allowing us to use their tent which provided needed shelter for activities during the afternoon and Wal-Mart of Culpeper for providing chicken for the closing luncheon with the parents on Friday. Thanks, also, to Jennifer Gray for helping with the luncheon. During the closing program a ceremony was conducted to dedicate markers made by Frank Zinn of Culpeper for a tree planted in memory of Paul Nichols who worked for years with the day camp program and a rhododendron planted in memory of Mary Beth Williams who was a very enthusiastic 4-H teen counselor. Their memories will live forever in our 4-H Day Camp program. Garden Club The 4-H Junior Garden Club learned how pioneer women decorated their dress hems using fresh flowers and leaves. The project idea, from a 4-H member Paige Lysaght, was to rub flowers on fabric. The projects were very beautiful when completed and the rubbings were set by soaking the fabric in soda water and then ironing until dry. The 4-TIers’ took their time experimenting with different flowers and leaves to see how they would color the fabric. Any youth ages 9-19 is welcome to join 4-H Junior Garden Club which meets every third Tuesday of the month at the Rappahannock Extension office. If you are a person with a disability and desire any assistive devices, services or other accommodations to participate in any of these activities, call 675-3619 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, five days prior to the event.

The tax on meals would primarily affect out-of-county residents who patronize restaurants here as tourists. A 4 cent (the maximum allowed) tax on meals .would result in revenue that would amount to 2 cents bn the real estate tax rate. That would go a long way toward paying the debt service which will come due next year as a result of the bond sale.

Joan and Jim Gannon ar° the shop owners. Letters New state test, a new vision, a new beginning As you probably already know, the Virginia State Board of Education has recently mandated many changes in curriculum, standards for accreditation, and graduation requirements for our children. In general, the Standards of Learning (SOLs) are more demanding and will Fond memories of Woodville Submitted by E. Franklin Warner, Scrabble, member of extended family. I am a native of Woodville, now residing in Toledo, Ohio. I was thrilled to have an opportunity to share in celebrating the bicentennial of the village which I love so dearly. I wish to congratulate the Bicentennial Committee and all others who made it possible. My sister, Annie Virginia Rainey, and my brothers James Hugh Harrison and George Robert Harrison, all of Arlington, join me in expressing their gratitude to you for your initiatives and undoubtedly hard work in bringing such a memorable occasion to fruition. As it relates to my generation of the Harrison family and our ancestors life in Woodville, by today’s standards, was rough, but that was par for the course in most rural areas. The four of us were bom in a farm house owned by the Starks. We were all bom between 1923 and 1930 and delivered at home by Dr. J.G. Brown. We grew up during the Depression and reached teenage and/or early adulthood during the World War II era. One of the most remarkable things about life in Woodville during that era was the excellent relations and respect that were prevalent among the races. Growing up on a farm had its pluses and j minuses. Yes, there were hardships, but it taught us how to cope with the adversities of life which we would encounter once we left Woodville. It also taught us good work ; ethics which we often find missing in many * of our young people today. * M Alter reacmng tne age oi iu, my next test of endurance was working in the fields and orchards surrounding Wood-ville. During the summer months, my brother James and I worked for the Millers, Halls, Yanceys, O’Bannons, Clarks, Kilbys and Longs. Our elementary schooling was routinely shortened in the spring and autumn because of the manpower needs of local farmers. After living in Ohio for more than 30 years, I do not consider myself a Buckeye — that is what Ohioans are called. I am still a Virginian at heart and my footprints are still somewhere in the soil of Woodville. The younger generations of our family often ask; now and why did any African-Americans happen to settle in a small rural village at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains? As a child I made similar queries. When I became knowledgeable of American history and particularly the history of Virginia, the answer was quite obvious. The first Negroes arrived in Jamestown in 1619. It is reported by historians that there were only 20 in the first group. At what time in history my fore parents, of whom I am a direct descendant, arrived in America is unknown. In fact it is of no interest to me and I consider it irrelevant. The fact remains that I am of African ancestry. I challenge any African-American who says that he or she can trace directly his or her roots from the coasts of Africa to America, if said ancestry dates back to the period of slavery. What do I know about my ancestry and how did I get the surname Harrison? My Eitemal grandfather was named Henry arrison. I have no knowledge as to where he got his surname, although I do have a genuine suspicion. He was brought to Woodville from Louisa at age 12 by the Browns. This was during the time of slavery and no other Negroes were brought along with him. Our family knows nothing about the father or mother of grandfather Harrison. We do not know whether he had any siblings. He was given his freedom and a plot of land in Woodville upon which a log cabin was built. He married Ann Jackson who had also been a slave. Their union was blessed with five sons and one daughter — my father James being the youngest. My paternal grandmother died when my father was 10 and my paternal grandfather died several years later; thereby making my father an orphan. My father then went to live with the Johnsons who owned and operated the general store at the locations of the present Burke’s Store. When my father reached his late teens, he was hired to work on the farm owned by the Starks. It was there that he met and married my mother whose maiden name was Mandy Lee Jackson. My mother was a daughter of Hugh and Catherine Jones Jackson. She was one of 10 children. They grew up on the farm owned by William Yancey Sr. My maternal grandmother was bom and raised in Viewtown. Her father and mother were former slaves. I had the privilege of knowing her during my early childhood. My maternal grandfather, Hugh Jackson, was a son of Henry and Mandy Noakes Jackson. Both of them had been slaves and they too lived on the farm owned by William Yancey Sr. When Mandy Noakes was freed from slavery she was given 40 acres of land in Scrabble. A log cabin was built on this property, but they continued to live in Woodville. My great grandmother died before my birth, but I have fond memories of my great grandfather Henry Jackson. He would tell us about his life as a slave. He was known affectionately by us as Grand Pap. 1 would also like to note that 1 had a paternal great aunt that I knew when I was a child. She had also been a slave. After gaining her freedom, she owned a house on the F.T. Valley Road. Her name was Fannie Wiggenton and she has descendants living in Rappahannock today. My siblings and I still make periodic visits to Woodville. It is inspiring to see the changes and growth that have taken place. It is somewhat disheartening to see that there are hardly any African-Americans now residing in Woodville. When I was growing up there were the Glaskers, the Wallaces, the Jacksons, the Jones, the Clarks, the Butlers, the Hunters, and the Haneys. Those of my parent’s generation are all deceased, except my aunt Ida Jackson who lives in Culpeper and is 94-yearsold. The preponderance of the members of my generation that grew up in Woodville have passed away. The surviving members have all located elsewhere. The offsprings of my generation were not raised in Woodville, their interest is merely historical in nature. It seems as though the lantern which was carried by the African-Americans in Wopdville many years ago has only a faint flicker of light today and will soon cease to light the way for succeeding generations. One can still take pride in knowing that African-Americans did make a contribution to the growth and well being of this village. Dr. Charles Henry Harrison Toledo, Ohio measure our children’s learning in a new way. In the month of October, the state board will release some preliminary student and school evaluation information. Past state accrediting programs have been based on such things as class size, number of high school courses, teacher licensing, and other “input” factors are still included; however, “outcome” factors are now also included. The “outcome” factors will be determined on the basis of student achievement on the Standards of Learning Tests for grades 3,5, 8 and high school end-of-course tests. Tests were administered for the first time last spring. These tests will establish a beginning point for our continued growth. The changes described are nothing short of revolutionary. Prior to the new standards, the Commonwealth of Virginia (like all other states) had established compulsory stur dent attendance laws. Learning was optional. Under the new standards, both attendance and learning are compulsory in order for a school to be accredited. Schools that will be successful under the new standards must acknowledge their new vision of higher standards and high levels of success for all students. Higher level mathematics and science classes are now expected and provided for all students, not just college-bound students. For example, all students must successfully complete algebra, geometry and additional mathematics and science classes. High level academic performance is not just a goal; it is a requirement for students, teachers, and administrators. It will require a massive change in instruction and program. For the past two years Rappahannock has been in the process of positioning the school system for a significant program change. Local curriculum has been closely aligned with the SOL, the school is reorganizing into instructional teams, and refocusing on effective instructional techniques. However, the announcement of the SOL test scores will be our starting point for meeting the new standards. Rappahannock, like all public schools, will have three years to meet the new accreditation and SOL test score standards. The first year test results will be treated as initial base line results on which to build. As superintendent of the Rappahannock Schools, I applaud Governors Allen, Gilmore and appointed State Boards of Education for their bold improvement initiatives. Rappahannock is committed to meet and surpass the new standards. We are anxiously awaiting the release of the test scores in October so that we can get on with the task of utilizing the new standards and the state’s new vision of education. Dr. David Gangel Superintendent, Rappahannock Schools RoughRide big success On behalf of the Fauquier Free Clinic and the Rappahannock RoughRide Committee, we would like to express how grateful and ecstatic we are with the success of the second annual Rappahannock RoughRide. The generosity shown by Rappahannock and Fauquier businesses and individuals who sponsored the event was overwhelming as was the time, energy and resources volunteered by so many kind individuals and organizations (including this newspaper, VDOT, the Rappahannock and Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, the Virginia State Police, Trinity Episcopal Church and others). Thanks to you all, the event was a huge success. The RoughRide was a charity bicycle tour held in Rappahannock County on Sept. 19. The purpose of the event was to raise funds and create awareness for the Fauquier Free Clinic which serves both Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. Proceeds from the tour will got toward providing medications for children and adults, equipment and testing supplies for diabetics and sup plies for the medical and dental clinics. For every $1 we raised, $4 in health care services will be delivered to patients. Again, many thanks to all and to the over 300 registrants, volunteers and Rough Riders who cycled. Your turnout was thrilling. We are so appreciative of your support. Next year we promise to deliver another series of spectacular scenery and hilly terrain. Hope to see you there! Patty Montgomery Chairman, 2nd Annual Rappahannock RoughRide On terminating the presidency I speak now of the presidency. Two years ago, in 1796, I was honored to be elected vice president to president John Adams. I am, therefore, closer to the presidency. It is an office the term of which was subject of much controversy during the constitutional convention of which I was a part. Estimates of a proper term varied from a kingly presidency for life to just a few years before we settled on successive four-year terms. We then faced the momentous decision as to how to provide for premature termination of a presidency. It was a necessary subject. It troubled us greatly to prepare for an outcome we considered most unlikely. Tb “treason” as an inarguable justification were added other justifications of a grave nature but not subject to clarity of defining deed. Moreover it concerned me much to allow congress to sit in judgment on the executive. This appeared a violation of that separation of powers we so carefully laid out elsewhere in the constitution. As a consequence, and because of its extreme gravity, I and others were at pains to make the judgment process itself cautiously deliberative. Clearly, if we, as a people, ever find ourselves in a position where we need to consider proceeding down this perilous path, it will be incumbent on our representatives to consider all possible consequences. For it could conceivably lead to frustration of the will of those of our citizens whose suffrage has elevated one of their own to the highest executive office. Such an outcome would lead to weakening of confidence and of support for their government by large numbers of our people. Furthermore, at the very least, the process of considering the termination of a presidency is by design so lengthy and so involved as to impede the broad process of governance with a consequent diminishment of our national ability to manage challenge at home and risk abroad. So, my fellow countrymen, unless there is found to be an apparent full majority likely to conclude that the chief executive’s actions and disposition have reached to the point of incapacity to fulfill the duties of office, it is my view we should not put the nation in danger by embarking on a course which challenges the legitimacy of the governing authority ... Before proceeding with hearings to this end then, the people’s representatives must hear first, both loudly and clearly, the voice of the people. In our democracy, therein lies guidance. For the good of the nation is none other than the good judgment of its people. Thomas Jefferson, Monticello By Norman Getsinger, Flint Hill

GED graduation at Piedmont In late August, Regional Adult Education and Culpeper Literacy Council hosted the GED graduation at George Washington Carver-Piedmont Technical Education Center in Culpeper. Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties were all represented by graduates receiving their GED’s for the 1997-98 school year. Graduates from the four Board From Page A1 Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, recognized Rose Ann Sharp for her outstanding service to that board. She has served for eight years on the board. He reported on the new personnel — Darcy Canton at the nutritional program and Kimberly Finn, manager of Family Guidance Services. He also said that beginning next year the county will be able to review the RRCSB performance contract with the state and may act on it if they so desire. • 1 he board approved a resolution in lieu of bond for a transfer of right-of-way from the county to VDoT in order that VDoT may construct the entrance and road into the county convenience center which will be located near the VDoT site off U.S. 211. It was reported that the facility should be opening in the spring. • A revised resolution for the addition of Four Springs Lane to the Six Year Road Plan was approved with the restriction that the property belonging to the Batchelders will have no more benefit to subdivide their land than before the road was brought into the system. That limits the parcels they could create to seven, which is what it was before and which they agreed to. • An amendment to the county code regarding accessory uses for fire and rescue companies was approved. It will allow thrift, used clothing and goods, or similar retail stores to be conducted and maintained on property owned by volunteer fire and rescue companies or non-profit orgaxuzation dedicated to supporting those organizations. • me upcoming meals tax referendum was discussed. The tax may not exceed 4 percent. The maximum percentage of tax would generate about 2 cents on the real estate tax rate. If the county also imposed a lodging tax, for which they do not need a referendum, it would generate additional revenue and would mostly affect people who do not live here. • The board approved a bid by SCS-Field Services of $189,904.13 to close cells one and two at the landfill • Extension Agent Kenner Love reported to the board on the drought conditions and that there is no immediate financial relief in sight for area farmers but that he is still seeking help. • The board approved the resolution to change the named of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission per request. • John Hartline was nominated and approved as the replacement for John McCarthy on the Social Services Board. counties include: Marjorie E.

ST/HL Waste From Page A1 Tompkins said the system suited the needs of the town. He said he liked the fact that the effluent draining out of the system was so clean that Watoga Park ran the treated water into an active trout stream. He thought the $1.4 million price was reasonable and compared favorably with the resident’s general misconception that the town’s waste water system would cost about $5 million. Also, he appreciated that the space required for the system was minimal, requiring only a few acres including the drain field. The town has considered a waste water system for several years. The properties in the interior of the town have the most difficulties with their septic systems, said Tompkins. A town Sanitary Survey completed in November 1997 showed that 87 out of 110 houses were surveyed. Although 60 houses reported no problems such as obnoxious odors, soggy ground or slow drainage, 39 of the households needed to have their systems pumped within the previous six years, indicating those systems were not adequate. The committee was seeking a solution that would not expose the town to major development, and this system would be limited to handling 30,000 gallons a day, Tompkins said. The collection system including the septic tanks, pump and filter at each house and the pipes was estimated to be $950,000. The sand recirculating filter was priced at under $500,000. Only the land was not included in the approximately $1.4 million estimate. The Watoga park system was developed by Ashco-ACorporation and was advertised as using technology to make a cleaner environment. The system involves pre-cast concrete septic tanks, pump systems, gravity and pressure sewer lines, recirculating sand filters and since the discharge is sent into a trout stream, disinfection by chlorine and ultraviolet. The system does require an operator to oversee the recirculating sand filters. The system, if approved by the town council, would begin at each resident’s house with wastewater flowing a septic tank by gravity. Critzer said the town would probably require a partial gravity and partial pump system which was included in the estimated price. The effluent from the septic tanks would flow through a filter and then by gravity to the recirculation tank. Pumps then would force the effluent intermittently onto sequential sand filters 24 hours each day, seven day each week. The effluent would trickle through the black sand where it would be treated by naturally occurring microorganisms that populate the filter. After passing through the sand filter, the effluent would be collected at the bottom in a fourinch diameter pipe and would be sent to a recirculation valve, which would return it to the recirculating tank. Finally, the treated water would be sent to a drain field. The next step is an engineering study, said Critzer, who also was favorably impressed with the system and the Ashco-A-Corporation.

* Neighbors/B2 ► Obituaries/B5 ► Classifieds/B6 * Real Estate/B8 October 7, 1998 Odyssey fashions work for working women ■1 ■ ■ . 1 > By Galen C. McBride ' Rappahannock News Staff Writer * The Odyssey Collection at 261 Main Street now offers the timeless beauty of artist Jennifer Greene’s exquisite handmade jewelry paired with easy-care, functional, but flattering fashions designed especially for working women. The new line, which includes Alchemy “artwear” from New Mexico, features washable, no-iron fabrics for dresses and color-coordinated separates in styles that, says Greene, “look good on every woman,” regardless of age, size or body build. Made of linen and cotton blends, washable velveteens, and cool, cling-resistant rayons, these simple but elegant styles work well as office or casual wear to extremely dressy ensembles. j^Greene selected the fashions to embrace her jewelry pieces, creating what she calls “The Odyssey Look.” Greene also designed much of her jewelry to complement the outfits she carries so that everything in the collection works together. “Women want style, comfort and easy care in their clothes," explained Greene. “They also want a total look that will enable them to make the most of their wardrobes,” such as interchangeable, coordinated pieces and clothing that can be worn different ways — layered, belted, draped, or any combination. “This is especially important in the larger sizes,” she added. “Because of the way this clothing is cut and the richness of the colors, it looks great from petite to plus sizes.” These fashions are definitely not your garden variety conservative office clothes. They incorporate many of the natural or fantasy themes found throughout Greene’s Washington and Sperryville stores — muted to brilliant jeweled earth tones, African and Native American prehistoric art forms, ethnic patterns, petroglyphs and geometric designs, animals great and small. All serve as a canvass for Greene’s jewelry collection or the customized hand-painted touches she adds, by special order, to the clothing. The fashions, says Greene, “are already selling well.” Buyers also appreciate some of the functional design features she has worked into her jewelry that permit it to be more versatile. Whether precious gemstones, coral or pearl, amber or antique glass beads, hand wrought gold or silver, they all reflect Greene’s intense passion for beauty. Many of the pendants on the necklaces are removable or can be worn as brooches or pins. Some of the necklaces are adjustable, going from choker to evening length or single to multi-strand. Other pieces have intricate clasps for extra safety. Greene’s signature watches have handmade bands of beads, pearls or stones. All can be worn as part of an Odyssey ensemble or with other clothes, regardless of style or occasion. The gallery is open Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 10-6, and Sunday 12-6. For special orders, call 675-1691.

Berman to sell work from show By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer A new show opened at the Rappahannock Library on Oct. 3 that presents a notable collection of 18 paintings by local artist Barbara Berman. A sense of tranquility, a fresh style and rich, vivid colors characterize her work. For the first time, she has offered to sell some of her paintings. Not surprising to ot^ier professional artists, she said the most difficult part of having this show was trying to decide on prices, which range from $300 to $850. The sizes of the canvases range from 9-by12 inches to 24-by-30 inches. Most of the works she chose for the exhibit are landscapes, depicting water and woods. Berman’s years in commercial art developed her eye for composition and, although her paintings do not look contrived, she said she doesn’t hesitate to alter a natural setting on canvas to suit her. Photo Courtesy of Middle Street Gallery ART IN FORM: Artist Gary Colson is currently exhibiting at the Middle Street Gallery. “Recent Forms” runs through Nov. 1. Colson show on at gallery “Recent Forms" the October show at The Middle Street Gallery, Washington, Va., features the unique sculptural work of artist Gary Colson. From armadillos made of bottle caps and Yahoo cans to figurative sculptures in wood, Colson displays hiS concepts of three dimensional form in a new show which opened Oct. 2 and runs through Nov. 1. v In his one man show, Colson exhibits work involving a wide range of media, from sculptures assembled with various metals and woods to Oil paintings, charcoal drawings, intaglio prints and col lage.. The subject matter of Colson’s work is as diverse and as rich as his materials, but the overriding theme is the artist’s passion for the three dimensional form. Colson, a resident of Culpeper since 1994, grew up in the Shenandoah Valley and has been teaching art in Fauquier County public schools for eight years. The gallery is an artist run, non-profit gallery, located next to The Inn at Little Washington and is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday, year round. For more information call 675-4330. An artist with a detailed knowledge of the qualities of oil paints, she developed her own technique for painting that combined the techniques of the old masters and impressionists. She began each painting with a sketch, and after copying the forms on tracing paper, she said she studied the placement on canvas for optimum effect. After drawing the forms on the canvas, she then painted an under-painting in acrylic or oil paint, and then she glazed over in oil paint, often in burnt umber or viridian green. One of the delightful techniques she acquired is skumbling, collecting unmixed oil paints on the palette knife and then applying them directly on the canvas. The effect is a fresh burst of clear color that gives her paintings the impression of vibrant light. Although the show consists of figures and woodsy landscapes one lovely painting stands out from the rest. It depicts children in a nursery school setting painting and playing, and has a strong, warm quality. Renoir is one of the artists who she said influenced her painting, and this painting suggests his style, especially in the flesh tones. Berman was raised in Washington, D.C. and attended the University of Maryland, where she studied commercial and fine art. An interesting comment she made was that another student in her classes and who often painted at the e&sel next to hers was Jim Henson, who later beCahie famous for his Muppets. Berman said painting is her love and she hopes to do more soon, but the intensity of her busy life frequently keeps her from it. She and her husband maintain two residences, one in Washington, D.C. and one near Rock Mills. Between visiting and helping her 94year-old mother in Washington, D.C., she and her husband Harold travel to visit their six children, who live scattered throughout the U.S. They have traveled extensively throughout the world, even going to Antarctica, and they try to visit a country they have never seen each year. Smithsonian season to open The seventh annual Smithsonian at Little Washington concert series commences with a MiniFestival the weekend of Oct. 10 and 11, at The Theatre, Washington, Va. The first concert at 8 p.m. on Oct. 10 includes works by Beethoven and Mozart. The concert at 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 11 continues with the “Brilliance of the Baroque” performances which proved so popular last year. An unusual feature of the concerts in the series is the inclusion of short introductory remarks about the music, the composers and the historic instruments used in the performances, delivered by Kenneth Slowik, the artistic director of the period-instrument Chamber Music Program at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Slowik is a founding member of the Smithson String Quartet and the Castle Trio. He has performed as a soloist with numerous orchestras, including the National Symphony and the Cleveland Orchestra. Slowik’s more than 50 recordings include many international prize winners, and over half of these releases include his liner notes. Slowik is the cellist in the concert on Oct. 10, when he is joined by Marilyn McDonald, violin and Stephen Dann, viola. They play Beethoven’s Trio in G Major, Op. 9, No. 1; and the “Eyeglasses” Duo; followed by Mozart’s Divertimento in E-flat Mqjor. McDonald, like Slowik, is a founding member of the Smithson String Quartet and the Castle TVio. She is a professor of violin at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Steven Dann is principal viola with the Tbronto Symphony. As a soloist, he has performed with orchestras throughout Canada and Europe. “The Brilliance of the Baroque” concert on Oct. 11, at 3:30 p.m., includes works by Telemann, Rameau, Couperin and Bach. Slowik, playing viola da gamba, is joined by five other members of the Smithsonian Chamber Players: Marc Schachman, oboe, Linda Quan, violin, Christopher Krueger, flute, Myron Lutzke, cello and Arthur Haas, harpsichord. The final two concerts in the four-concert Smithsonian series will be held in the winter-spring season of 1999, on Jan. 24 at 3:30 p.m. and May 15 at 8 p.m. The January concert includes a performance of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Mtyor introduced with a lecture by Slowik on the entire Brandenburg Concertos. The May concert presents Franz Schubert’s best-loved song cycle, “Die Schone Mullerin — The Beautiful Maid of the Mill.” Tickets for individual concerts are $14 each with reservations, $15 at the door. For the complete series of four concerts, the price is $55. Tickets for students 18 and under are half price. For reservations and information call 675-1253. •’ ' Photo Courtesy of Barbara Berman EXHIBIT AT LIBRARY: Local artist Barbara Berman is currently exhibiting her work at the Rappahannock Library. The exhibit will run through Oct. 31. "Gabbeh," RAAC's film this week “Gabbeh,” an adventure film from fundamentalist Iran, will be Shown at The Theatre on Gay Street, Friday, Oct. 16 at 8 p.m. This movie garnered raves all over Europe and won awards at both the Cannes and New York Film Festivals. As clear and fluid as the limpid stream that opens the film, “Gabbeh” tells a timeless fable in a radically new way. “Gabbeh” is both a type of illustrated carpet and the name of the film’s central character, a serenely beautiful young woman who relates her tale to a memory-haunted old man. A member of a nomadic desert tribe, she falls in love with a dashing horseman, but her father’s opposition forces a hazardous elopement. A final twist brings the connection between outer frame and inner tale into focus, and also confirms the film’s tinder* <tates its “truth.”'The director, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, has said that Iranian cinema stems more directly from a still vital tradition of poetic storytelling than from any previous films. The disparate ingredients of “Gabbeh” are neither disjunctive nor esoteric bijt rhymed and blended into an awesome harmony; Makhmalbaf weaves his strands into lucid visual poetry. In Farsi with English subtitles. “Gabbeh” rugs Gabbeh, meaning freedom, describes a particular type of nomadic rug — a form of recreational weaving which, a 100 years ago, was practiced by a number of tribes in Persia. At first sight the almost plain abstract fields of Gabbehs remind one of 20th century paintings; knotted Mondrians, Rothkos and Klees. It is astonishing that the nomadic women would weave such patterns since they lived in a society that prized fineness and ornamentation. The rugs were originally made from undyed wool in blacks, browns, greys and creams with simple designs influenced by the scenes the weavers saw around them. Tbday, bright vegetable dyes are used on the same coarse hand spun wool to produce individual pieces of enormous vitality. ‘ The real pleasure of “Gabbeh,” the movie, is primi,tivf, sensual and colorful: the rfot of reds and yellows, as women dye their rug wool with wild flowers; the exquisite hues of the countryside; and the magical manner of a teacher who shows children the wonders of nature by literally extracting color from the crops, the heavens and the ocean. There are now only two tribes Iran that can truly claim to weave Gabbehs but Gabbeh designs are being copied from Casablanca to Calcutta.

In the autumn, when breezes were yet balmy, gardeners planned and planted beauty to burst forth next spring on those still chilly mornings when glorious colors would be so welcomed. They bought bulbs of unremarkable appearance and put them in the ground with faith in the promises of the Creator. During the winter, the bulbs transformed. Similarly, we must cultivate kindness, especially when circumstances are difficult, planting the Word of Cod in our hearts each week as we worship at our chosen church or synagogue. Knowing that as inner love grows we will be transformed and display a beauty of the spirit that shall brighten our days and those of others. This takes a little planning and a lot of planting so begin planning weekly worship now. Spring will be here sooner than you think.

In 1622, more than 250 years before Mr. Stark’s discovery, the Virginia apple industry negan witn the grafting of crab apple root stocks by Jamestow n settlers.

OnsjiLxLncj ^WozcU by Randy Minter A FLORAL TRIBUTE Is it any wonder that people instinctively give flowers as tokens of sympathy? There seems to be something inherently spiritual about their natural beauty, as if they were unspoken words of comfort from Heaven. At the same time, they speak of the transient nature of life and how all things must pass, no matter how beautiful or significant. From bud to bloom to fallen petal, flowers seem to represent the human condition in microcosm. No one who either gives or receives flowers can overlook their significance. As Robert South once remarked, ‘There is not the least flower but seems to hold up its head and to look pleasantly, in the secret sense of the goodness of its heavenly Maker.” From the still elegant beauty of gladioli to the serenity of a rose, you can select those flowers which best reflect your feelings for and connection to your loved one. At the Moser Funeral Home, we know that no one finds dealing with death to be an easy matter, which is where our experience comes in. We know how to help during this difficult time. We take pride in the comfort and care we can offer. You can reach us 24 hours a day at 347-3431, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. “Your voiceless lips, O, flowers, are living preachers—each cup a pulpit, and each leaf a hook." - Horatio Smith in Madison with interment at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church Cemetery conducted by the Rev. Brian Wagner. Charles Elliott Mechanic Charles Edward Elliott, 42, of Jeffersonton died on Oct. 3 at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton.

He is survived by his wife Deborah Lynn Elliott; a son Matthew Elliott and a daughter Sarah Elliott and a stepson Joey Pullen, all of the home in Jeffersonton. Additional survivors include seven brothers and sisters Frank Elliott of Castleton, Johnny Elliott, William Elliott and Frances Cole, all of Amissville; Mike Elliott and Carl Elliott, both of Remington and Elaine Hitt of Bealeton and his in-laws Eleanor and Branson Pullen of Jeffersonton.

You’ll find continuous entertainment, featuring Bluegrass bands, children and adults will enjoy picking their own pumpkins and gourds for Halloween. All ages will want to take a hay ride. Madison Habitat for Humanity will serve breakfast all day and you will want to try some of David Jones’ sorghum or the Henshaw boy’s apple butter on your pancakes and biscuits. There will also be lip licking white beans, com bread, baked goods, pork sausages and barbecue.

Em 18 leji un Ri 688S, p> 1/4 rmlf m iV cffdwrd Family common threads BY WAYNE F. BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer At 9 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 21 David Roberts, in company with Wanda Carpenter and Wayne Baldwin set out for upstate New York. The occasion requiring the trip was two-fold. David had just purchased the old CookErnie homestead in Cooks Falls, Delaware County, N.Y. This being the maternal home of David until the death of his mother, Myrtle Ernie Roberts in 1974. After her death the old home was sold out-of-thefamily to Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Langan from New York City in whose hands it remained until about a month ago. Mr. Langan’s health failing, had a desire to sell and upon hearing his old home was on the market, David made the contacts, etc., and it was bought back into the family. The second reason for motoring north was the fourth annual Cook-Ernie family reunion. Heretofore we held the reunion at the Cooks Falls fire hall and at Kevin Roberts’ home in Roscoe, N.Y. Thirty five friends and family gathered at the old home place. Coming from Virginia, New Hampshire, New York and Maine. The highlight of the gathering was the 88th birthday of Mr. George Brower, a long time neighbor and family friend. The oldest family member was Mary Ernie Griffin at age 76. The youngest was Thomas Esolen age five, and the person coming the longest distance was Darlene Bean from Maine. A raffle drawing was held in which the following persons won the respectively noted gifts: David Roberts, a crochet doily; James Trago, scented candle; Ken Esolen, heart warmer; Joanie Ryder Roberts, cross stitched flower vase with flowers; Evelyn Simpson, heart warmer. One hundred dollars was collected for expenses. The reunion cake was purchased in Hancock, N.Y. and brought up by Audrey Trago, sister of David and Kevin. Next year’s reunion will be held on Aug. 28 at the old home. It was announced that anyone wishing to stay at the house, or bring a tent or RV could do so. David Roberts is currently the pastor of Thornton Gap Primitive Baptist Church near Sperryville. He has been a resident of the state some 15 years or more. David’s ancestry has in it a surprising connection to Virginia’s own history. John Cook, a native of Colchester, England came to Delaware County about 1779. In partnership with his brother, Robert Cook, and two other fellows, the Cooks engaged in the timber business, rafting their work to Philadelphia, Pa. via the Beaverkill River. At the out-break of the Revolutionary War the Cook brothers happened to reach Philadelphia with a raft of logs just as General George Washington was there. They were noted for their skill, strength and stature and were induced to enlist as bodyguards of the infamous general. The requirement of thfis position was members had fo be six feet or more in height J Both Cook brothers spent the winter at Valley For^e. Later, John Cook was at tfte Battle of Monmouth in Ni$v Jersey. Here he was wounded, almost fatally. Living near tie field of battle was a French Huguenot family by the nar&e of Parker, whose daughter Dolly came upon the field and found both Cook and his friend Knight wounded. She hdd them brought to the famijy home where she nursed thepi back to health. Originally settling near Pepacton after the war, staging there several yearns. Several years after with threats of some Indians, John Cook again enlisted in the army. Coming home later to find his cabin and most of the unburied tools etc., burned or stolen, he rebuilt. A few years after crossing over the mountains to the Beaverkill, John Cook decided to move to present day Cooks Falls, formerly Butternut Grove. So, the connection I’m trying to make is that the same General George Washington who surveyed our Washington, Virginia, also employed in the military service, John Cook of New York. N.Y.

for the first frost BY DR DIANE RELF Extension Environmental - -» * Horticulturist Cu« *- In some parts of the state it may seem a little early to begin worrying about frost, hut, the 42F temperature we had in the mountains in September warned us not to wait too much longer before planning to protect house ntnnts that might be outdoors fjpm frost. Well-laid plans may avoid disaster and disappointment later. Childhood memories of first frost ri.J can still remember the annual excitement of the first frost from my childhood. The weather reporter would atmounce that Jack Frost would arrive that night. My brother, sister, and I would be recruited as foot soldiers. With mother as the commander-inchief and Dad as the outdoor collector of plants, we brought alt of the house plants back inside the house...pots and pf&nts (some dug from the ground, miscellaneous bugs and all. There was never time to dean the pots or arrange for the right place to put the plants in this ritual of cold and chaos. But everything found a spot indoors for the night, with ferns cuddling up to the cactus and crotons comparing colors with the coleus. Every surface but the kitchen table was covered with plants. It wasn’t easy settling down for the night after excitement that was only surpassed by Christmas morning in our house. How many plants needed to come in? Would they all fit? How much had they grown since being set out the spring before? Can we re-pot those with roots coming out the bottom now or just cut off the roots? What to do? The pressure and excitement filled the air. The house was transformed to a tropical forest of secret flora and fauna. Memories include Avoiding insects that dame in with plants ’ I learned a great deal from these “greeting-of-the-cold” rituals. Never drop your clothes on the floor...especially where the prickly pear and Old Man cactus live. Sleep through the night, or at least stay in bed until it is light enough to see a trail through the plants. Even friendly bugs like Daddy Long Legs , and grass spiders have no jplace in your bed. Slugs and bare feet do not mix. But even today, I delay moving my plants to the inside until a lot later than I should Perhaps I hate to acknowledge the inevitable change of the season. Or. I seek the excite* ment from my childhood. Or I just formed bad habits at an impressionable age. The fact of the matter is most tropical plants are injured by temperatures well above freezing. For the health of your indoor plants you should begin to acclimate their return indoors when the nights begin to reach 55F. Plants need water and light to survive. If the cold doesn’t kill them, then the alternative might! Move them to a lower light area, and bring them in at night. Try to eliminate insects by setting pot in water If a pot has been in contact with the soil, soak it in a bucket of water for several hours to drown any insects that may have entered the drain holes. Drain it well before moving it indoors. Inspect plants closely for insects, and complete any pest control measures while the plants are still outdoors. Clean the foliage and wash your windows to provide maximum light for the plants when they are moved back indoors. Get the cleaning done while the plants are outdoors and out of the way. For added winter color, pot up begonia, coleus, geranium, and impatients and move them indoors, or take cuttings and root them in a glass of water to make a fresh start of young plants. Watch these plants especially closely for insects. Spider mites that have caused little trouble outdoors may become serious on these flowering plants in the drier atmosphere of your home. While not as exciting as a one-night event, the gradual approach to moving your plants indoors will leave you with healthier plants that look good all winter.
