After applause from the 20 or so residents in the audience and the council, Mayor Stew Willis thanked him for his contributions to the town. At the November meeting the council will accept nominations and then decide who will fill the vacancy. Skowronski did agree to remain on the town parking committee. Treasurer Elaine Viguerie presented a draft of the Washington Water Works customer policies that the council is considering. It stated that water bills over six months delinquent would be charged $1500 in addition to the delinquent bill. "~ Landlords of rental units would be held responsible for the charge before water service would be resumed.

Va 22747 (540) 675-33M (540) 67S-30W (fax) opinion survey set By Mary Beth Martin Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Sperryville Gateway Committee presented its public opinion survey at the unusually short monthly meeting on Oct. 15, and in addition, Secretary Barbara Williams presented a model of the heavy bronze plaques available to properties in the town’s historic district. The committee will send the survey by early November and only to residents of the Piedmont District for a total of 1,000 copies, said Buck Payne, committee member. Names and addresses will come from the voter registration lists and property tax rolls. Chairman Tom Junk said that at 62 cents per letter he would hand deliver surveys to residents on Main Street. The survey will also be published in the Rappahannock News for anyone outside of Piedmont District who wishes to participate, Payne said. Committee member Barbara Williams presented a slightly scaled down version of the bronze plaques, which will be 8-by-ll inches. “Anyone with a historic property can have one for $50,” she said. There is no shipping fee since she said she would drive to Chantilly to get them. The plaques vdll be available in early November and 25 have been ordered already, she said. Tb order one, checks need to be mailed to the Sperryville Historic Committee, P.O. Box 435, Sperryville, said Williams. A blank area on a plaque can be inscribed later for several dollars more to include individual names, dates or other information at the property owners’ discretion. The plaques will help the preservation effort and with getting grant money, she added. Chairman Tom Junk said that he thought it was “a great deal” because several years ago, he said, he priced a similar plaque at $150. Committee member Bayard Catron said that being in the National Register would not place any restrictions on a property since the village has no ordinances such as .those ia the Town of Washington. Being in the National Register only makes property values go up, he added, since the plaques would identify buildings as special properties of historical interest. Sperryville was designated as a historical district because of its distinctive architecture. Williams said that she attended a Virginia Department of Historic Resources seminar where she learned about preservation awareness, grants and tax credits. The Department of Historic Resources asked her to be the community volunteer to assist others who have questions about hisSee GATEWAY, Page A6 Prank call under investigation By Jan LaValley Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Trading Post, . near Washington, Va. off U.S. 211, received what is believed to have been a prank call this past week from someone attemoting to buy explosives. Owner Ken Carter received the call, reported Lt. Larry Sherertz of the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office, and informed the person that the store did not deal in that type of item and indeed it would be illegal for him to do so. Carter received the call about 5 p.m. on Oct. 17 and, after talking with the caller, he called the sheriff’s office to report it That office turned the incident over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tbbacco and Firearms which investigates such incidents. The incident is under investigation by the ATF. What Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke termed “probably the longest running case before this court” came before the judge again last week. Crystal Roxanne Hill, who first came before the court in the early ‘80s, was charged with violation of probation after having been dropped from the Bethany House program in Roanoke. Hill has a long history of abuse of prescription narcotics. However when she left Bethany House sne enrolled herself in a mission program, got a job and attends “ NA meetings regularly. The judge decided to leave her on probation, let her continue in her present program, also in Roanoke, and set a new court date to hear a representative from the mission program report on her progress. The case is set for Nov. 13. ■dUffl ViMMraaU H«a«u UOMW. t*OOM HoowtA. Hucnanan ivurunv UmUTIVIMMAL MUMMttmy QUESTION ti Shall tfca ComUMIm of VlrgMa ba ■ NM aaaraf.a tu ' yes ‘ NO A new way of voting By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer When Rappahannock voters step up to cast theirs Nov. 3 things will have changed a little from years past. This election marks the first time the county’s new voting machines will be used. Although simple to use and apparently fool-proof it will still be a change for county voters. The new voting machines resemble some of the newer, sleeker copy machines in looks but are slimmer and smaller in size (like a VCR) and they work on discs. The ballots are one sheet, front and back. Voters will enter a privacy area to mark their ballots, which must be done in No.2 pencil (they will be provided of course). The voter will then take the ballot and insert it into the voting machine. It does not matter which way, or whieh side you insert, the machine will take it. The machine tallies the votes and at the end of the night an “ender card” is inserted which gives the totals to the registrar. On the front of the ballot are the names of the candidates running for the 10th Congressional District seat — incumbent Frank Wolf (R), Cornell Brooks (D) and Robert Buchanan (L) — and the first three constitutional amendments to the Constitution of Virginia. On the back are the other two constitutional amendments and the county food and beverage tax referendum. Those voters in the Wakefield District will also see the names of the candidates running for the Wakefield seat on the board of supervisors — Roger Welch and Dr. Werner Krebser. Voters in the Piedmont District will see the name of Aline Johnson who is running unopposed for the Piedmont District seat on the school board. For those who want even more privacy, sleeves are available at the polls for use by voters. They resemble plastic trays that angle up at one end. Voters can use them to cover their ballots as they insert them into the voting machines. The sleeves should then be returned to the officer of election at each precinct. •*'.

FRANK WOLF • Republican • 10th district race • * ROBERT BUCHANAN • Libertarian • 10th District Race CORNELL BROOKS • Democrat • 10th District Race Following his own beat Advocating change By Matthew Brown Rappahannock News Staff Writer After sixteen years in office, U.S. Representative Frank Wolf (R) looks and acts the part of a politician. Mild-mannered, grey haired and quick to quote biblical verses, Wolf, 59, can — and does — launch into verbal diatribes on cue. But he breaks the standard political mold in one important sense: He doesn’t toe the party line merely to please his fellow Republicans, even when that means a potential loss for his constituents. Whether he’s criticizing the government of Sudan for persecuting religious minorities, or singing his own praises for bringing transportation dollars home to the 10th District, Wolf’s remarks are relatively free of the political double-speak common among his colleagues. “I just hear a different drum,” Wolf said. “I do what I think is appropriate.” Last year, “appropriate” translated into a clandestine visit to Tibet, where Wolf was able to see firsthand — and later decry in the national press — the Chinese government’s harsh treatment of Buddhist monks. At home in the 10th District, meanwhile, the incident made barely a splash. “There’s no reason to publicize all this,” he said. “I’m not going to run for any other office.” Marching to a different beat has gotten Wolf into trouble in the past, such as when he was one of only eight Republicans to vote against Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House. And, ironically, it may have also cost Northern Virginia some transportation dollars over the years. Though Wolf, chairman of the House Subcommitee on Transportation Appropriations, is widely known on Capitol Hill as a pothole politician — a derogatory term he readily embraces — the congressman refuses to play the type of porkbarrel politics commonly used by others to bring pet projects to their districts. WolFs political outlook is not exactly set in stone, however. It’s shifted subtly to the right over the years — much as his constituency did when the 10th District’s lines were redrawn following the 1990 ■ —— i Apples Available Red and Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Staymans, Yorks, Romes & Winesap $3 to $10 per bushel Drops also available Also: Cider, Pumpkins & Honey Selling 7 Days a Week!

Woodville f 540J 987-8192 Frank Wolf census to include more conservative precincts outside of his original, and moderate, home base of Arlington and Fairfax counties. One thing Wolf definitely feels — both personally and through his constituents — is the congestion that often leaves the region’s transportation network paralyzed. Depending on traffic conditions, Wolf said his own commute from Vienna into the District can vary from 40 to 70 minutes, and his office fields countless constituent calls decrying back-ups that hit Loudoun, Fauquier and Fairfax alike. His reluctance to go after pork notwithstanding, Wolf has managed to bring home a laundry list of projects at least partially funded by federal dollars. The Democratic candidate in the 10th District, Cornell Brooks, has questioned why the region continues to face gridlock in light of Wolfs influential position on federal transportation matters. Wolf has an answer: “Imagine if Mr. Wolf wasn’t there,” he said. “If Mr. Wolf wasn’t there, Metro wouldn’t be finished. If Mr. Wolf wasn’t there, you wouldn’t have the lanes outside the beltway on I66. If Mr. Wolf Wasn’t there you wouldn’t have the G.W. Parkway changes, you wouldn’t have the Spout Run changes, you wouldn’t have the additional lanes on the [Theodore Roosevelt] Bridge.” By Dan Lowrey Rappahannock News Staff Writer He’s been called a communist, even a fascist. But Robert Buchanan prefers to think of himself as a patriot. The Libertarian Congressional candidate scoffs at the negative perception to his party’s principles by some 10th District voters. After all, he wants to take the government out of people’s pocketbooks and out of their lives. What could be more patriotic? He chalks up their reactionary labels to their failure to truly understand his message, which he believes many voters agree with. “[Critics] never question the regurgitated garbage people are feeding them,” Buchanan said. “If anybody thinks I’m radical, they must think our founding fathers were radical.” Raised in a lower-middleclass family that he describes as “apolitical” and that regarded government officials with suspicious minds, Buchanan naturally latched onto the Libertarian message while in high school. He supported both Democrats and Republicans in the past, even though sometimes he had trouble distinguishing one from another. After college he began voting for Libertarians and soon fell in with several local party bosses, who convinced him last year to run for state delegate. He managed to get 6 percent of the vote in the 31st District, convincing him that Libertarian principles were hitting home with some. And when party leaders approached him to run for Congress this year, he agreed. “I’ve always had a dream of being a politician,” Buchanan said. “I’ve always wanted to change things for the better. “I’m not interested in the six-figure income,” offered the 35-year-old snack food manager from Marshall. “I’m not interested in their free parking or all their other perks, that’s not what makes me tick,” Buchanan said.

I’m a common man who doesn’t like the fact that we’re heading towards socialism and totalitarianism. ” Libertarians think government should be reduced to a few basic functions, including defense, law enforcement and monetary regulation. They believe the free market will take care of most of society’s ills and that people know how to spend their money better than the government does. “I think people are tired of big-govemment, socialist, cradle-to-the-grave programs,” Buchanan said. “There might be people better qualified who have a better job or a better education, but we all agree on the same principles.” Buchanan beliefs are basic and self-evident. He believes property owners can protect the environment better than federal regulators, that people can save for their retirement better than the Social Security Administration and that charities and private contributors can help the needy better than federal welfare programs. He proposes eliminating the federal income tax, and paying for limited government functions with a national sales tax. He also advocates the legalization of drugs and prostitution. Exercising his faith Cornell William Brooks, the Democratic candidate for the 10th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, knows that government can make a difference in the lives of its citizens. “I am unapologetic in my belief that the heart of politics is public service,” said Brooks. “I am a beneficiary of Head Start, of scholarships and of student loans, and my dad went to college through ROTC. We have benefited from a lot of federal investments in education, fiscally responsible investments, and I believe in that.” Brooks was born in a U.S. Army hospital in El Paso, Texas, where his father was a field artillery officer. He grew up in coastal South Carolina. “My heart is in serving people,” said Brooks, who noted that somewhere between seminary and law school, he was ruined for corporate law. “My whole experience has been public interest law, where people either can’t afford a lawyer or oftentimes don’t know they need one.” Brooks describes himself as a “fiscally conservative office seeker. The numbers have to add up; there has to be accountability; the public has to get what it pays for.” His legislative agenda focuses on transportation, education and health care. He espouses a regional transportation authority which will involve all the “shareholders” from Northern Virginia, the District and Maryland in prioritizing the problems and developing long- and short-term solutions. Add to that a regional focus on better suburb-tosuburb transportation, and rail to Dulles. Buses to Dulles won’t solve the problem unless they “can levitate over traffic.” He supports tax credits that will help Virginia meet a $6.2 billion school construction deficit, and put 100,000 teachers in classrooms across the nation. If 90 percent of the population sends its children to public schools, and businesses establish or relocate on Cornell Brooks the basis of quality schools, Brooks points out, “Loudoun County will not be a magnet for those high-technology companies” if the schools are overcrowded and non-competitive * Finally, he sees a seat in Congress as a platform from which to promote a Patient’s Bill of Rights. Wielding federal clout tc help local systems build and staff schools, Brooks wants tc see class size, especially in the early grades, capped at 18 students. “That’s academic bang for the buck.” His vision of a Patient’s Bill of Rights would ensure emergency room access, and allow patients to appeal an HMO’s medical decisions to s board of medical professionals, not accountants. Brooks is a fourth-generation ordained minister, and before taking on the challenge of running for Congress preached twice a month at the Turner Memorial A.M.E church in Washington, where is an officer of Communion, teaches ethics and communes the sick. One of his favorite books, Gutierrez’s “Power of the Poor,” discusses “living your faith, the obligation to exercise your faith in the world.” WE CAN HELP YOU LIGHTEN THE LOAD.

State constitutional amendments confusing and questionable Those who read last week’s article on the proposed amendments to the Virginia Constitution may be wondering (the ballet aside) just what they mean. They are worded in such a way as to prevent most voters from understanding them — unless you happen to be a lawyer. Was this intentional? Particularly perplexing are proposed amendments No. 3 and No. 4. < State Attorney General Mark L. Earley sponsored proposed amendment No. 3 two years ago when he was a member of the state Senate. He now opposes it as do Governor Jim Gilmore and former Governor George Allen. They have said, if passed, it could lead to taxation by unelected boards. Regional cooperation is fine, hut these amendments go a bit too far. ; Proposed amendment No. 1 deals with special exception for people who move overseas to be able to continue to vote. This is already provided for in the Constitution. As it stands now a person can vote by absentee ballot if they are domiciled here (if they intend to return here after living overseas) or have a place of abode here. If a person leaves the state and has no intention of returning here why should they vote on decisions which will affect those who do live here? Why would they want to? • Proposed amendment No. 2, dealing with confidentiality of the Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission, seems okay. It provides for added disclosure of information about alleged misconduct by a judge. ; And proposed amendment No. 5 has to do with E(POL and merchants’ capital taxes. It would give the General Assembly the option to grant more power to Ideal governments so that they may grant exemptions to either the BPOL tax or merchants’ capital tax, or both. Any shift which means more control for local governments and less for the state can’t be all bad. ; Of course, a no vote would require the legislators td send them back around next election — hopefully rewritten and understandable. Rappahannock Today Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Carl Ebom Don’t forget to turn your clock back on Saturday night when you go to bed. At 2 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25 Daylight Saving Time ends. Letters Participation appreciated On behalf of the Trinity Episcopal Church Garden Guild, I should like to thank all those who participated in our first “Virginia Autumn Harvest and Plant Sale” and who made it such a grand success. We feel that we have taken another solid step forward in raising funds to build a lovely new church garden on Middle Street to the bene fit and delight not only of church-goers, but to all of Washington’s residents and visitors. We enjoyed having most of the vendors from last April’s “Great Spring Plant Sale” . return, and the many volunteers who put in long hours before, during and after the sale deserve much credit for their hard work, creativity, stamina and organizing. Our thanks go to Eileen Day for once again allowing us the use of her parking lot for our vendors and workers, to the leaders of the Episcopal Church Women for mentioning our sale in their house tour brochures, and to all our customers who are, after all, the ultimate ones responsible for our considerable success. We hope that you will enjoy the lovely plants, produce, pottery and gourmet foods that you have acquired and that we shall see all of you again next spring on Fodderstack Race day for the second annual Great Spring Plant Sale. Katherine Stark Bull Sale Chairwoman Tour a success To everyone who helped make the 42nd Annual House Tour and Dried Flower Sale a success, the Episcopal Churchwomen of Trinity say thank you. Each year members of the ' community join members of the church to grow flowers, collect foliage, create arrangements, open their houses, park cars, make and serve tea and work for many hours at a variety of tasks. Their work is deeply appreciated. Every year the members of the First Baptist Church have sold lunch for the benefit of their church and our visitors and we especially want to thank them. Last and far from least, we are grateful to everyone who attended the sale and tour. The ECW is a charitable arm of the church. After minimal expenses, all of the money earned helps support worthy causes within the church, the community, the diocese and beyond. For example, we fill in a few blanks in the local welfare system; we send books and clothing to the Lakota Reservation; we help support homes for troubled girls both in Virginia and Honduras ant ever so much more. All of this is possible because the members of the church and the community work so hard and attend so faithfully. We thank you. Sheilah S. Sweet President, ECW Trinity Church ■ EXTRAS Down Memory Lane : to From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 30 Years Ago Thursday, Oct. 24, 1968 This week marks the 21st anniversary of the Watts Barbershop located on Main Street in Washington, Va.

Coates of Sperryville has been named to serve as the member of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors from the Piedmont District. She will fill file seat left vacant with the death of E.M. Estes who had been a member of the board for 16 years. 25 Years Ago Thursday, Oct. 25, 1973 The Sixth Grade 4-H Club elected Tammy Settle as president at the October meeting of the group and Aletha Atkins was named vice president. Acting as secretary-treasurer is Judy Lynn and Melanie Burke is reporter. Sheila Jenkins will be the song leader.

Opinion Vote for the right reason I have been voting for 55 years. There are people in some countries that do not get to vote because the system does not allow a choice. There are many who just don’t care enough to vote. Then there are those that vote but waste the vote in the sense they pick their choice for many wrong reasons. For example, I voted the wrong way for 25 years. I voted for the party that my father and his father voted for. I never knew whether the candidate was any good or not. I suppose over the years I might get one right, but it was a lucky accident. For local elections there are added wrong reasons such as; he/she is my sister’s brother-inlaw’s cousin, she has nice legs, I Polls indicate that the American people seem inclined to let President Clinton off the hook through a nationalized version of jury nullification. I believe there is a logical explanation for this. Many Americans knew Clinton was inclined to lie about sex before they elected him, which makes it feel a little hypocritical to become judgmental at this late date. During his first campaign; I ' was convinced he cheated on his wife, and I thought it more likely than not that he lied about Jennifer Flowers. I figured it was of greater concern to Hillary than to me; I was more interested in his stand on the environment and women's issues at the time. By went to school with her/him, he is one of us, he isn’t one of us, he/she comes from and old country family, he is a newcomer (only been in the county 22 years), he is a very nice guy, been a regular member of the Hunt, etc. Our votes always count. Our ' county is a priceless place — a place of quiet beauty, unpolluted by poison or people, with citizens mutually purposed to keep it that way. We have a county election soon and good candidates for a supervisor position in the Wakefield area — Doctor Krebser and Roger Welch, both good, intelligent and likable candidates. I can only find one to have advantage that would serve us better. That candidate is Dr. Krebser. He has spent over 20 years tending to the health of Rappahannock patients. He now wants to tend to the health of our enviroimient. After 40 years of medicaljjractice he is retired. He has al\MMs participated in county and tovm policy making. I have read many letters he has sent to the News expressing concern. He placed his own property in scenic easement, so that it could not be subdivided, thus limiting over development. He is intelligent, disciplined and dedicated. He is a compulsive worker. And he is available. The other candidate is still a young man, going to work in his career, providing for his family. The other candidate has fine qualities. I like Roger. It would be impossible not to like him. But he is not as available. This is not a contest here of who is the best man, but who can serve better. Before I aged and became unable, we used to have a yearly golf game. I was in a foursome that included Dr. Krebser. We were waiting for our turn to tee off. I looked around and saw the doctor pulling weeds from around a small boxwood. I have seen golfers replace divots and pick up litter but this was a first. Vote for the compulsive environmentalist and available weed enemy. Do it right for the right reason. Walter Day Flint HiU Priorities in question comparison, personal matters seemed trivial and irrelevant. They still do. I don't believe my willingness to look the other way reveals a deep flaw in my character I personally do not condone infidelity or lying, but I have learned to make compromises out of necessity. For example, would I have preferred to elect someone with whom I agreed politically and who also had an honorable personal life? Certainly. In the last election, however, I was given the choice of a fine man whose political leanings I detest, and a detestable man whose political leanings I admire. What kind of “choice” is that? Perhaps if it didn’t take millions of dollars to rise to national prominence — or if the media widened access to second-, thirdand even fourth-tier candidates — I might have had more to choose from during the past two elections. If politicians on both sides of the aisle paid more than lip service to the notion of campaign finance reform, the problem could be remedied. As we enter the next wave of political water torture — an independent council to investigate Vice President Gore — Americans need to question the priorities of those leaders who choose to squander precious resources waging political vendettas. Surely the impending collapse of Social Security, ethnic wars in Eastern Europe, global wanning and other matters of national and global import should occupy more of our leaders’ time. The one thing that angers me more than anything else through, out the past four years — much more the vulgar, tasteless, but ultimately consensual shenanigans between Monica Lewinsky and our randy leader, Bill Clinton — is the $46 million* price tag for Kenneth Starr’s stomach-t oming witch-hunt Every taxpayer in the t nation should be outraged that this smirking little Lord Fauntleroy squandered their money to execute a panty raid on the White House. It is a hard thing to swallow, * if you’ll pardon the expression. Theresa O’Neil Knight Boston

Council From Page A1 '■ She said she cheeked with the Virginia Rural Water Association, which said that the loss was far less than other towns. She explained the new spreadsheet for the quarterly financial report, which contained the figures for July, August and September along with the yearly budget. The report showed the income and expenses for the fiscal year, which began July 1. An unexpected item in the budget was an expense for town electricity from Allegheny Power for $2298.02 for underassessed street lighting for the past eight months. Council member and Town Planning Commission member Steve Critzer said the commission was awaiting Milton Herd’s report before completing the five-year comprehensive plan update. The monthly Super pantry program a big success Eight Rappahannock homemakers successfully completed the first Super Pantry Program sponsored by Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Super Pantry combines nutrition education with hands-on cooking skills and provides homemakers with the opportunity to share experiences and learn more about community resources and life skills from guest speakers. Special thanks to Rev. Phil Bailey, Mary Miller Wood, and members of the Washington Baptist Church who donated space, time, and support to this program. A modified pantry program will continue at the Extension Office and new participants are cordially invited. For further information, call Judy Stevens at 727-3435, ext. 8, or Jan Palmer at 675-3619.

Council member Charlie Tompkins presented a slide show of the Wastewater Study Committee’s trip to Watoga State Park in West Virginia. A committee meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at the Town Hall to discuss the next step in the process. Ray Gooch spoke about progress on a visitor’s bulletin board, now called a kiosk, with his recommendation for it to be placed near the Post Office flagpole. Two designs were being considered and given to potential contractors without specifications for the interior. Three bids were received, but the $2,000 difference between them was attributed to the interior, said Gooch. The kiosk will be designed to display maps of the county and town with pockets for business brochures and space for community notices and activity announcements. It will be built so it can be relocated. This being a logical breakpoint in the project, Gooch said he wished to resign his position as the bulletin board project coordinator, and he deferred details on the kiosk project to his recommended successor, John Byam. The council voted unanimously to accept Gooch’s recommendation for the Post Office as the optimum location, the square design, and Byam as the new kiosk project manager. Tompkins reported that the town’s website has been used for requests for brochures from states mainly on the eastern half of the country and from as far away as Denmark and Lithuania. Wendy Weinberg thanked him for his work and said it was a good reflection on the town. Old business Town Attorney Frank Reynolds said a title search was continuing on the Masonic Cemetery. The decision has not been made as to whether the town will accept the ownership of the cemetery from the Masons. Viguerie suggested new customer policies for the Washington Water Works that dealt with delinquent bills. Reynolds will draft the proposal and present it for the council’s approval next month.

John Baumgardner represented Clabert Smoot in his request for the town boundary to be adjusted to pass around his lot not run through the middle of it. More than 50 percent of his lot is already in the town with the remainder in the county. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds spoke about the town’s procedures for adjusting the boundaries in 1990 and 1991. The council agreed to consider the matter if the county was likewise interested in pursuing the previous procedure they followed for boundary changes. The council approved money for the Christmas wreaths for the town. Notices will be sent to town residents about ordering fresh greens for decorating at a later date. Council member Alice Butler asked the council if they wanted to have a Christmas party at the town hall and Willis added that he thought a potluck party could be coordinated with the lighting of the Christmas tree. He suggested the first weekend in December. Mary Ann Kuhn of Middleton Inn recently received a four-diamond rating by Triple A, said Diane Bruce, and she asked that the council draft a letter recognizing this distinction, which they agreed to do.

• Neighbors/B2 • Obituaries/B5 • Classifieds/64 • Real Estate/B6 October 21, 1998 Celtic musicians return to Theatre By Jan LaValley Rappahannock News Staff Writer Linn Barnes and Allison Hampton will bring their unique sound to The Theatre at Washington, Va. this weekend. This will be the fourth annual concert they’ve performed locally in as many years and they hope to make it an annual event. Barnes and Hampton have a home in Rock Mills where they live part time. They spend much of (each year traveling and performing all over the world. This past year they spent the entire spring on their new album “Wassail,” which is Old English and means “be in good health.” They have recorded 13 albums in all. “Wassail” is a collection of ancient and unusual Christmas music. It includes well known hymns such as “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “Silent Night” and “How Far Is It lb Bethlehem.” In also features such tunes as “Gloucestershire Wassail,” “Sussex Carol,” “King Herod and the Cock.” “The Wren Suite,” and “Angelus ad Virginem” (a 14th century English melody). And, familiar favorites like “Greensleeves” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” But, hone of them will sound quite the way most people are used to hearing them. The duo have arranged the pieces to showcase their unique style and sound. The album features the sounds of the Celtic harp, played by Hampton, the steel string guitar, lute, Uillean pipes (or Irish bagpipes) and cittern, played by Barnes, the flute, recorder and soprano saxophone, played by Joseph Cunliffe, percussion by Steve Bloom and Tim Anderson on cello. It was recorded at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington.

The whole is a wonderful and very different listening experience. The pair’s European concert tours have been popular and highly acclaimed. They have performed throughout North America and have played annually in the acclaimed Dumbarton Concert Series and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. In fact this will be their 21st year for the Dumbarton Series, a record which Barnes says may be unequaled. Most recently they have been on tour in Colorado. The whole band, as featured on the album, usually plays together when on tour and in D.C. The concert on Oct. 24 at 8 p.m. at The Theatre will be all Soup and Soul series set On Saturday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m., Ki Theatre will present Soup and Soul — the first in a series of informal gatherings for the 1998-99 season featuring writers who live and work in Rappahannock County. The November program will present John Kiser with excerpts from his latest book in progress, “For The Love of God” — the story of French Trappist monks murdered in the Atlas Mountains of Algeria. The program will include an opportunity for questions and discussion. Kiser is a resident of Sperryville and the author of several books including “Stefan Zweig, Death of a Modern Man” and “Communist Entrepreneurs.” He has served as a consultant to the United States Department of State on the technology potential of the forr mer Soviet Union. He founded and served as the president of Kiser Research. Kiser writes full time. The Soup and Soul Series is a unique opportunity to experience creative work of people who live in Rappahannock County and the surrounding area. Offered in an informal and intimate house setting, the evening begins with shared food and concludes with the program and discussion with the featured artist. Because the settings for Ki Theatre’s Soup and Soul are homes, the number of tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance. Tickets for the Nov. 7 Soup and Soul are $8. Call Ki Theatre for further information at 987-3164 or send a check for tickets to Ki Theatre, P.O. Box 203, Washington, Va., 22747. i Tea time Rappahannock Nawa Staff Photo/Jan LaVaHay The annual House Tour and Dried Flower Sale, in its 42nd year, was a huge success this past weekend, as always. The tea this year was held at the Middleton Inn. Barnes and Hampton and will include Celtic and Renaissance music from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Gallicia, the Celtic redoubt of Northwestern Spain and traditional American Blues. They have arranged the blues pieces in a totally different and interesting way, said Barnes. The pieces — “Come Back Baby,” “Mississippi Blues” and “Matchbox Blues” — are presented as a suite. “Frequently people who do concerts play within one genre, but we don’t,” he said. “It makes it more fun for us and for the audience.” The evening will include poetry, ancient lore and stories from Celtic Europe, as well. And, says Barnes, “Allison will play a very different harp solo from the Isle of Mann.” They may even do one or two songs from their new album which will be on sale at the concert. Barnes said they are looking for a local distributor for the album. Tickets for the performance are $14 with reservation, $15 at the door if available. Tickets for students 18 and under are half price. For information call 675-1253 or email TheatreVA@aol.com. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Jan LaValley Allison Hampton and Linn Barnes Youth art classes offered Shimmering * Meadows Farm Studio will commence the second session of an Art Training Program for Youths 8-14 years of age. This session will run from Nov. 7-28. Exploration of the pen and ink medium will be the focus. Instruction in the use of pen and ink and ink washes will be combined with continuing lessons in control of line and shape in an effort to teach students to learn to “see” and observe as artists. Kitty Dodd, artist/art director at St. Lukes School in Culpeper and Carol Vogel, artist and director of Shimmering Meadows are the instructors. The art training program is structured into multiple sessions which will run for four weeks each. Each four-week session will explore a different medium and fundamental of the visual arts. Visual concepts such as composition and design will be coupled with a strong foundation of drawing skills. Students receive instruction through the use of frequent demonstrations and applied practice of the elements of art. To advance artistically, students must learn the fundamentals of art and practice what they learn. This program is designed for students who are serious about art and wish to learn and advance in the basic art fundamentals. Nov. 7-28: This session will explore the pen and ink medium. Feb. 6-27, 1999: This session will be devoted to the colored pencil medium. March 627, 1999: The final four-week session will introduce the student to painting through the use of the pastel medium. Classes are held on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Cost for each four-week session is $75. Class size will be limited. Contact Carol Vogel at 5474385 or Kitty Dodd at 5473192 for information. Woodpeckers: Life on the vertical Woodpeckers are equipped through evolution for the vertical life. There are few horizontals for them, and when the Red-bellied Woodpecker lands on my platform feeder, he clings to the edge in a vertical position and reaches for a sunflower seed. He quickly takes the seed to the upper trunk of a maple. There he securely wedges the seed in a bark crevice and, in a vertical position, whacks away at the hard coating with his powerful bill. For clinging to tree trunks and limbs, a woodpecker has zygodactyl (an impressive term) feet — two toes in front, two behind. Other birds have three toes in front and one behind: this works best for perching upright on horizontal branches or hopping on the ground. Clinging to the bark of a tree is best done with short legs which the woodpecker has; these are equipped with elongated, zygodactyl toes and sharp claws. Tail feathers are long, stiff and strong; woodpeckers use them to prop themselves against a tree trunk in an upright position. This may be the most unusual aspect of woodpecker adaptation unless one wants to consider the thick-walled skull and straight, sharp-pointed bill as more remarkable. Strong muscles and a thick skull absorb the shock of hard pounding on wood. A woodpecker’s tongue is coiled around the skull and can be extended to astonishing All Things Wild And Wonderful John Trott lengths for probing for insects deep inside a tree limb or trunk. This tongue is equipped with bristles or barbs at its tip for piercing the larva of a wood boring beetle. One species, the Flicker, feeds on the ground and consumes great quantities of ants, their favorite food. The sticky tongue is probed deep within an ant nest. Ants attack the intruding tongue, stick to it and ride it in great numbers back into the bird’s mouth. Recently a friend remarked on a curious behavior of a female Red-bellied Woodpecker: the bird clung to the trunk of a tree and pressed the side of its head against the bark for several minutes. “What was the bird doing?” I was asked. My answer: “Listening for insects.” It is now known that woodpeckers can hear an insect as it moves about deep in the trunk of a tree. With this astonishing hearing ability, a bird knows where to drill a hole. For many years it was incorrectly assumed that woodpeckers drilled into trees at random, hoping for a meal at the end of his work. If that were true, woodpeckers would have starved long ago. Woodpeckers of many species drill holes into the sides of houses and, in some cases, cause considerable damage. The current belief is that the birds mistake some household appliance — an electric clock, for instance — as an insect and go after it for food. Woodpeckers do not have elaborate songs such as that of a Cardinal or Song Sparrow. Most vocalizations are sharp, quick and distinct such as the sharp keer of a Flicker or the dry rattle of a Downy Woodpecker. Rhythmic tapping or drumming is used as a form of communication in courtship and to proclaim territorial rights. On occasion, reports surface of a woodpecker that has discovered that drumming on metal — a gutter or drain pipe — makes a splendid sound and carries great distances. Female woodpeckers perceive this with pleasure, but residents of the house on which the metal is attached are often jolted awake in the early morning by the sound of a woodpecker drilling on a gutter. Drilling for food is not the only kind of work performed by woodpeckers. Deep nesting cavities — narrow at the top, broad and bowl-shaped at the bottom — are excavated for not only a place to deposit a clutch of pure white eggs but for snug sleeping chambers. Speckled, thus camouflaged, eggs offer a degree of protection from detection by predators of birds building open, cup-shaped nests in shrubs and trees. Large clutches of white eggs are laid by female woodpeckers that have no need for protective coloration because they are deep within a nest cavity. The only nest is the soft wood chips at the bottom of the goardshaped nest. Females incubate during the day, males at night when the female is resting in her own sleeping cavity. On hatching, nestling woodpeckers are little more than blind embryos, devoid of feathers. These young are fed on a steady diet of partially digested insects by the attentive parents that pump food into the mouths of hungry young. The nestlings grow and develop rapidly. They are a noisy, aggressive lot and are ready to leave the secure protection of the nest cavity in 28 to 30 days. Young woodpeckers spend a long time getting ready for life in the outside world. For this reason they raise only one brood a season and produce a large clutch of eggs that are — in a sense — all in one basket. Once I was walking in the June woods when I heard what I assumed was the hum of a hive of bees. My curiosity overcame my fear of multiple stings and I discovered the humming noise was coming from a nest full of hungry Flickers. It occurred to me that few predators — a snake, raccoon, jay or hungry crow — would brave a swarm of angry bees. What a remarkable illusion to prevent predation!

In contrast to the pumpkin seed, the tulip bulb was planted much later, in the cool of autumn. It develooed during the winter in soil, which was cold. and, at times even frozen. Yet the tulip, too, emerges as a vibrantly colored creation. There is another seed...the seed of faith. ..which may be planted at different times, depending upon the condition of the soul. Yet, whether planted early, in the springtime of youth, or later, in the autumn of their years; one truth is constant; God has promised love and mercy to all of His children, regardless of when they accept Him as their Father: “And everyone [who accepts God on faith]...wiH receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

The Park is seeking volunteers to help take care of the birds of prey used in educational programs. With seasonal staff gone during the winter, extra help is needed to clean the cages and feed the red-tailed hawk, barred owl, and screech owl housed in the Park Headquarters area on U S. Highway 211 east of Luray. The “Winter Care” project began three years ago as a cooperative effort between the Park and the Virginia Cooperative Extension Office in Lurav. 4-H families, as well as other families, individuals, and couples have contributed more than 600 hours of volunteer time to this project. This year’s “Winter Care” program will start in midNovember. A training session 1 for new volunteers will be held beforehand. If you would like to join the dedicated corps of raptor caretakers, contact the Park Interpreter Mara Meisel at 540-999-3282.

I Memorial contributions ■ r i iJnsfibiLncj ^Words, by Randy Minter THE TIME OF OUR LIVES Ever since man invented the clock by which he could measure time, he has been preoccupied with putting his time to its best use. For we have nothing but disdain for those "who waste their time" and feel pity for those who have not taken the time to "smell the flowers." We engage in all manner of healthy endeavors to extend our lives and employ the latest technologies to make the most of our time. As Robert Rawls Updegraff noted, "To get all ■there is out of living we must employ our time wisely, never 'being in too much of a hurry to 'stop and sip life, but never losing our sense of the enormous lvalue of a minute." Really all the time we have is now, this minute, to live our life honestly and with gratitude. Yet how easy it is for us all to be swept away by the mindless details of daily life. Sometimes the loss of a loved one can reawaken our connection to this life and to each other. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we work hard to earn your trust and respect. Ask us about our various plans. For answers to your questions, call us at 347-3431. “Just as a sundial counts only the sunny hours, so does life know only that it is living." - Herbert George Wells may be made to the American Heart Association, P.O.
