Rappahannock farm map to be developed Committee to meet Sept. 18 Taking a cue from The Washington Post, that last spring published a map of Rappahannock County farms and orchards, Hal and Beverly Hunter of Amissville have initiated the idea of creating a computer-generated map of these county resources. The map file can then be used to print copies for distribution and for uploading to websites in "clickable" form, Mr. Hunter said. The Hunters will provide their assistance and produce the map file as yet another act of community support and goodwill. An ad hoc committee will be convened, tentatively on Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Library, to discuss the map development process. Any business owner who would like for his or her establishment featured on the map should attend, and should be prepared to provide descriptive information and, optionally, a photograph that can be scanned and added to the map. Beverly Hunter will bring in a large-scale map on which business owners can locate their establishments. Anyone having questions or who is not able to attend but who wishes to have their business included on the map should contact Jerry Ochs at 987-3311. A confimation on the meeting date, time and location will be included in next week's edition of the Rappahannock News.

By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Well don't go away, but a little moderation would be appreciated. From the 1st through the 4th of September, we in Rappahannock have seen a total of 2.7 inches of rain. That is more than 2 inches greater than the norm, and a stark contrast with what we experienced for the past few years. It was just last year that we were in the third year of what has been called the worst drought of the century, if not in local recorded history. This year we have more than made up for it, with water supplies being well above normal and the ground water supply sufficient for some time to come, even if below normal precipitation is experienced. In late July of 1999, one of the drought articles in the Rappahannock News led off with the following statement: "Despite some significant rain in the area last week, the impact of this year's drought is likely to be sustained for at least a year. Poor hay and grain yields, pasture damage, undersized fruit, impending animal feed stock shortages and resultant higher feedstock prices, falling cattle prices due to drought-induced sales-all point toward some leaner years for Rappahannock and regional farmers." It appears now that the droughtrelated problems have been mitigated, but the generous supply of rain has posed some problems of its own. * For the calendar year, Rappahannock has had 32.1 inches of precipitation- 3.7 inches above normal, and for the past 365 days, we are more than 12 inches above normal, with a total of 54 inches of precipitation. Now, instead of dust, it's mud. Instead of sunburned tomatoes, it's fungus. But it’s still Rappahannock and wet or dry, it is the place to be. rnuiu wunway lh iou reneyaua FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND: Pianist, Barry Muthersbaugh during the fourth annual music festival in Sperryville.

X ___ cRCPS News By}TaN MAKBtA ^ VoluBDrtr Coordinator Public School System • Well, here we are! Well rested, energized and ready to give your kids everything we nave to insure their success this year. • On Monday, Aug. 28, all instructional staff reported to RCES for a division wide discussion of Mastery. The goal for the day was to effectively define what our system believes mastery to be. Though it may seem to many to be an easy task, there were many valid conflicting views which had to be discussed. Many thanks to the School Council for arranging this. Layne Vickers, RCES fourth grade teacher, and her committee did an outstanding job. Dr. David Gangel acted as moderator for the day and did a stellar job. It was a pleasure to have School Board members Mrs. Rosa Crocker and Mr. Wes Mills with us for this special event. Mrs. Aline Johnson would have attended, but was busy helping a new employee find housing in the county during the meeting! Headwaters, Rappahannock County Public Education Foundation provided a delicious luncheon for all staff. Many thanks for this warm gesture. • As you walk through the halls of RCES you may notice the hundreds of smiling faces peering down at you. These wonderful self-portraits were part of an extensive art project on portraiture taught by Mrs Harriette Rosenblatt, and the first phase of the school's beautification project. This summer volunteers Amo Merritt, Kim Vest and Holly Propst trimmed the portraits. Many thanks. Twc weeks ago the first batch were hung. Famous art prints have also been purchased, framed and hung around the school iii the most unexpected places. Watch for them and be delighted. Many thanks tc Holly Propst, Marrietta Verrill, Ron and Josh Makela for the "sweat equity" invested in this project. We have man) more portraits to hang. If you can help, please call Jan Makela at 987-8259. • Please don't miss the beautiful Millennium quilts hanging in the Primary Hall at RCES. They were designed by the first grade students last year with quilting expertise provided by members of the Virginia Extension Service Quilters' Club. Mrs. Charlotte Laing was tremendously helpful.

Please be a part of this exciting mission. August brings a different snowflake The roadside wildflowers I've written about this summer — mullein, chicory, Queen Anne’s lace — were old friends; I have known and admired them for years. In writing about them, I only had to check a few facts and hope for new ones. Clematis virginiana is another matter entirely. I had only know it from casual glances out the car window at masses of small white blooms on fences and roadside shrubs. It looked as if there had been a minor snowfall of feathery flakes. Yesterday, at the tail end of August, I took the time to pick a few sprigs of this plant and bring them home. They sit on my desk in a coffee mug. Next, I went to the books. No less than seven are piled on my desk. Each has descriptions and facts about Clematis virginiana. Authors seem awed by the unique beauty of this vine. The first thing I noticed about the vine was its unusual manner of climbing and gaining support. Most vines climb by thread-like tendrils, modified leaves that reach out and, on sensing a stable support, curl around to anchor the vine. The cucumber and squash in my vegetable garden do this, as does the wild grape that seems to be everywhere these days. Clematis climbs by a modification of the petioles, the stem of a leaf. These wind around any support they encounter. It is a unique method of reaching for a place in the sun. This climbing by petioles attracted the attention of Charles Darwin, who studied the plant and noted that the leaf stem "... revolvedjdescribing a broad oval, in five hours, 30 minutes; and another in six hpurs, 12 minutes; they follow the course of the sun." Common names of clematis are "virgins bower" and "traveller's joy." The author of a book on wildflowers published in 1893 is listed as Mrs. William Starr Dana. The lady had her own version of feminism. She wrote: "In July and August this beautiful plant, covered with its white bios Take the SAS Fit Challenge! With over 160 sizes available, we can fit you.

After learning more about the plant, I feel young ladies, virgins or otherwise, would be unwise to take too much shel-. ter under Clematis virginiana.', The same goes for "travellers" * of either sex. The reason: handing the foliage of clematis causes dermatitis for some people, much like poison ivy. ; I had no problem, but; warned Lee Trott not to handle it, as she is very allergic to! poison ivy. Notes on the der-* matitis-causing aspect of clematis are only mentioned in three of my books, so it must not be a serious problem. Native Americans made a! concoction of the plant that; they applied to cuts and sorefl! and to cure the itch. Taken internally, the plant can cause bloody vomiting and diarrhea, and "... in some cases, convulsions." This is no problem for me; I don't usually! eat the wild plants I collect. * The four, half-inch longnarrow white "petals" of the flowers are not petals at all but sepals, the outer part of what botanists call the floral, envelope. This gives a flower beauty and serves the function of enclosing and protecting the delicate and vulnerable sexual parts — stamens (male) and pistil (female). Eventually they fold back to allow for pollination (in clematis, by bees)i that results in fertilization.; This eventually produces seeds. The life of the plant goes on and on. The white sepals, combined with the uncountable white stamens — they look like tiny toothpicks, give each flower the delicate look of a snowflake. The five-parted pistils are pale green. After the white sepals and stamens fall, segments of the pistil spread and elongate. They have a silvery cast and are almost as beautiful as the flower that preceded them. See AUGUST, Page A6

Erin Brockovich at Theatre Friday By Rosie Day Rappahannock News Writer This upbeat, inspirational melodrama, based on a true story and directed by Steven Soderbergh, is brought to life by a star on a heavenly rampage. Julie swings into rooms ablaze with indignation, her body bulging out of her skimpy clothing and rants at the people gaping at her. She s a moral heroine with no sense of propriety- Ralph Nader crossed with Jesse Ventura. Like "A Civil Action" and "The Insider," the movie exposes corporate malfeasance - in this case, that of Pacific Gas & Electric, which, for years, dumped a lethal chemical called Chromium 6 at its plant in Hinkley, Calif.; the families who lived nearby were diagnosed with multiple cancers. Brockovich, a legal secretary without formal training, leads the charge against the utility corporation, supported by a phlegmatic middle-aged lawyer (Albert Finney) and by her lover (Aaron Eckhart), a hippie-biker dreamboat, bearded but beerless, who takes care of Erin's <;hildren while she's out harranguing everybody. Soderbergh's direction goes straight as an arrow, and the movie, though obvious, crude, and even bullying, is raflishly enjoyable and touching. RAAC presents this movie at 8 p.m., Friday, September 8 at The Theatre on Gay Street. With its crackeijack dialogue, colorful characters and substantive story, "Erin Brockovich" could be a revelation for teens. Only the profanity earns the R rating in this thoroughly enjoyable movie. (R, 131 minutes) p Scouts awarded badges, honors By Debbie Massie Rappahannock News Writer Boy Scout Troop 36 kicked off a new year by holding a Court of Honors Program at the Washington Fire Hall on Monday, Aug. 28.

Three arrested on alcohol charges Three persons passing through Rappahannock County early on the morning of Sept. 3 were arrested on alcohol-related charges after their vehicle was stopped on Rt. 522 near Huntly. *' Rappahannock Sheriffs Office Dep. Mark Currence noticed suspicious "driving behavior," and pulled over the 1987 Jeep Cherokee driven by Justin Cordrey, 27, of Hume. Upon interviewing the occupants of the vehicle, Dep.

Gallery Jill Atkin from Eugene, Ore., is now exhibiting paintings and pastels at the R.H. Ballard Fine Art Gallery in Washington. Here traditional but lively still life works feature such objects as fruit, flowers, oriental sculpture and porcelain with oriental rugs as a backdrop. Jill Atkin exhibits her work nationally and was just recently accepted into an exhibition in New York City, and has been juried into and received awards in Montana, California and the Northwest. She is represented by galleries in Oregon as well as Chicago and is in collections throughout the United States and Japan. Atkin is a signature member of both the Pastel Society of the West Coast, and the Northwest Pastel Society. Atkin divides her work between oils and pastels, both having an expressive quality. About pastels, she states, "There is a purity to the pigments...the colors are rich beyond any other medium. Because pastels cannot be mixed, only layered, the thought process must be entirely different." "Combining her still life works with rugs makes her a natural for my gallery," says gallery owner Robert H. Ballard, who has both art and rugs at his location in Jill Atkin - Oils and Pastels on display at R.H. Ballard Fine Art, Ltd. in Washington.

When the leaders of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) gather on the West Front terrace of the U. S. Capitol Building this week to observe their 20th anniversary, we should join them — at least in spirit — in celebration of what they have accomplished. Over MADD 800 activists will participate in the five day observance, which begins on Wednesday, Sept. 6. They will be joined by supporters Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.), Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tx.). Nearly everyone, it seems, has been touched by the tragedy brought on by drunk driving; that is certainly true here in Rappahannock County, where several young lives have been ended because of the irresponsible actions of impaired drivers. It has been the courage of those who have felt this unnecessary loss that has driven the Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Since the movement began in 1980, it is estimated that there has been a 40 percent drop in drunk driving deaths — a saving of 183,000 lives, if the trend had not been challenged. And the way the public, law enforcement and the courts look at drunk driving offenders has been changed greatly, as well. Part of the program will be the release of a new Gallup Poll indicating the new public attitude toward the offense of driving drunk. As they begin their third decade, MADD has an ambitious agenda, which includes getting the U.S. Congress to adopt a national blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent as the national uniform drunk driving limit and unveiling a plan to reduce alcoholrelated deaths to no more than 11,000 by the year 2005. As a silent reminder, a victim ' Wall of Remembrance" over 115 feet long bearing the photographs of hundreds of those who have lost their lives to drunk drivers will be erected during the conference. It will provide a powerful statement that few will be able to ignore, MADD has accomplished what few would have thought possible 20 years ago. We are grateful that they took this initiative, proving that those they have lost did not die in vain. Rappahannock Today Knoto courresy or bruce jones The Lions are always ready to serve. These Rappahannock members served dinner on Tuesday,Aug. 22 to 105 campers at the 4-H Center near Front Royal for the annual Camp Fantastic event. Pictured left to right, Bob Metcalfe, Bill Cushman, Bob Darby and Mike Leake Letters Opinions regarding survey, editorial This letter is in response to the "Amissville Values" report offered by the Amissville Area Community Association and also to the editorial of Aug. 23 regarding the outcome of the "Amissville Survey." The group is to be commended upon taking on the task of preparing and collecting a survey to collect the opinions of Amissville residents; however, the broad generalizations expressed in the report are extremely difficult to substantiate. The small sample size of the residential population and a return of only 25 percent from that pool represents a small number of people. The pieces of the pie graphs presented in the report become much smaller when the 75 percent of the residents who didn't respond is designated as a portion labeled as "no comment/no opinion". Only the "strongly agree/agree" or "strongly disagree/disagree" segments are pictured in the graphs, the pie piece of "no comment/no opinion" is missing. Extrapolating that the non-responsive residents "don't care" and don't have a "vote" and therefore don't count in the direction that this community should proceed is using the survey to present the viewpoint and achieve the goals of a limited number of individuals and/or special interest groups. We already have an elected Board of Supervisors, a Planning Commission, a County Administrator, a Commonwealth Attorney, the Board of Zoning Appeals, and a Building Official as governing bodies that represent the people of our District and County. These are the people in whom we have put our trust that the wishes of the majority will be addressed. Wildwood residents also contributed ideas to the survey; however, most of these people live in Culpeper County and do not have representation by our elected officials. Perhaps officials from Culpeper and Fauquier Counties should be invited to voice opinions since their constituents are identified as Amissville residents by the 20106 zip code? Special interest groups and individuals are certainly entitled to their opinions; however, it is my sincere desire that our elected officials keep an open mind in hearing their agendas. If the AACA is going to move in a direction in which it rules which way we can and should live, then we may as well consider ourselves in competition with the residents of Columbia, Md. In this developed and planned community, the "community squad comes to see if your fence is the correct fence, if your driveway has cracks that need sealing, or if a shutter needs to be hung correctly, and please make sure that the color of your front door is on the acceptable paint list! Please let us keep peace in the community by working with each other, not form dictatorships in which one neighbor makes mandates for another. Property ownership of a building lot to hundreds of acres is a right afforded to us by our . forefathers. We are not a newly planned homogeneous community that is looking for an identity in its appearance. We are a community of diversity and that diversity can well become our identity. Dictatorship has no place in a small community such as ours, and we truly hope that open minds will prevail. The editorial in the Aug. 23 issue indicated that the editor was jumping on the band wagon as far as using the Amissville survey to support a point of view concerning the development of a potential golf course in Amissville. I rec- ' ognize that an editorial is an appropriate avenue of expression for the editor of a newspaper; however, I do not believe that it is neither correct for an editor to offer a biased opinion based on a survey for which one does not have proof of accuracy, nor is it correct to make accusations as to the purpose and intent of a . proposed golf course in Amissville. The Dixon family likely has income in mind when planning on a new use for their agricultural property, but so does everyone who starts a business. Few of us can afford to work for free or throw away our assets. Farmland only becomes profitable when it is sold or the agricultural activity conducted on it intensifies. The development of a golf course would keep this large tract of land in an agricultural use, it would bring job opportunities to our area, and it would preserve the green areas of Rappahannock County. Are these bad things? Please rethink your position on development in the Amissville area. Without some catastrophic event, the population in our area will continue to increase and provisions will need to be made to enable the community to grow. Residents may certainly express their views and should be encouraged to do so, but not dictate what happens to each agricultural or commercial property as it comes up for sale or development. What happened to free enterprise? Erniel K. Smet Amissville Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 50 YEARS AGO Sept. 7, 1950 The children of the county returned to school Tuesday morning, with 224 pupils enrolled in the county's first consolidated high school. Amissville school had an enrollment of about 50; Forest Grove had 64 on the opening day with 37 in the primary grades and 27 in the elementary. Sperryville school, with the first consolidated elementary grades, enrolled 286 on Tuesday and expects 312 by the time enrollment is completed. Woodville school's enrollment is 50 and the first day at Reager saw 67 pupils in attendance. With a dignity indicative of their determination to do a good job, the ladies of Washington's municipal government took over the reigns in induction ceremonies Friday, Sept. 1. About 300 local citizens and visitors were on hand to beam with pride when-the ladies presented a picture worthy to accompany the county’s natural beauty. The county is getting prepared to amend its bragging, everyone knows Rappahannock is "Land of Finest Livestock and Apples," and after the ceremonies Friday, the folks are beginning to realize that the good-looking ladies are an asset t< join the ranks of the county listing. Just before the program was to begin, a dogfight took place within 15 feet of the platform. There were a few accusations to the effect that it must have been planned, since the ladies had expressed a policy pending to rid the town of all the stray dogs roaming the streets. 25 YEARS AGO Sept. 11, 1975 In a lead photograph four year-old Dicky Burke of Woodville can keep out of mischief for a year by just being busy polishing his silver. Dicky, with his foxhound JJ, placed first in High General Average at the recent Northern Virginia Fox Hunters field trials and bench show in Culpeper. He was competing in a total class of 319 hounds. JJ placed first in speed and drive and endurance, fourth in hunting and fifth in trailing. Dicky is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard W. Burke of Woodville. In another photo, Mrs. Betty Buntin examines a timber rattler which was killed on the Fodderstack Road just a short way out of town Friday by Hayward Whorton, an employee of the Department of Highways. The rattle snake was crossing the road as the highway truck passed and Mr. Whorton whacked off its head.

There are many types of cultivated clematis that one sees climbing over trellises and houses. Some of these have very showy flowers that measure 6-8 inches across. Even in these, the color comes from bright and showy sepals. Not so common as mullein and chicory, Clematis virginiana is well worth a careful look. Write John Trott care of this newspaper: P.O.

Owners Diane Noble and John Jenkins don't just buy and sell collectibles and antediluvian chattel—they apply the skills of artisan and artist to eroding objects to create often fanciful ornamentation that carries the mood of and pays homage to our forebears. It has been only five months since they established their business in Tom Taylor's 200 year old chestnut log cabin on US 211 in Sperryville, and already their shop has become a destination. It’s a place where one can buy beautifully restored antique furniture, "tramp art" wall sculptures and pill boxes, paintings by Patricia Height (John's mother), Rappahannock photos by the inimitable Ted Pellegatta, John's sister Susie's handcrafted soaps and knitted items (using wool sheared, spun and dyed by Susie), have your antiques restored or your chairs recaned, or just look at the treasures and their wonderful old building. Diane and John have partially restored the cabin that was last occupied in the '80's, and will continue that labor of love this winter. Known as the Broy House, the cabin has been in Tom Taylor's family for at least six generations, and is one of the oldest structures in the Sperryville area. Back in the 1940's it was opened as a tea room and antique shop and, OPEN FOR BUSINESS: John Jenkins and Diane Noble at their establishment, Appalachia Antiques & Gallery. according to John, "was probably the first tourist trap in Sperryville." Well it's no tourist trap now—it's chock full of unique items, great fun to browse, and is hosted by two of the friendliest proprietors in town. Diane and John got into the busi ness because they had become collectors, and wanted to share their finds. In the near future they'll expand on the "tramp art" end of the business, get more into metal sculpture and design and crafting of jewelry, and offer caning and rushing services on a broader basis. Take a moment and stop in to meet them and to share their collection. Appalachia Antiques & Gallery is located at 11931 Lee Highway in Sperryville, phone 987-8181.

Caterpillars cause concern to homeowners Late summer features many types of common caterpillars in the landscape that cause great concern to homeowners. Fortunately, most of this concern is unwarranted. These caterpillars can generally be divided into three groups. There is one group that causes minor defoliation to hardwood trees. There is another group that includes several species of giant caterpillars that are spectacular in their appearance. And finally, there is a group that includes a few species of caterpillars that have the capability of inflicting painful stings. These do warrant a little more attention. Examples from all three groups generate many phone calls and specimens for the Extension Office. The two most common defoliating caterpillars in late summer and early fall are the orange striped oakworm and the yellow necked caterpillar. The oakworm is dark brown with very narrow orange stripes. As its name implies, it is found primarily on oak. The yellowneck, which is black with yellow stripes, feeds on many different types of hardwoods. Both species feed in groups and occasionally strip the foliage off entire branches of trees. The good news is that minor feeding this late in the season does no damage to established trees. The leaves are going to fall off soon anyway, so treatment is not necessary. Small, or newly planted trees in danger of complete defoliation may warrant treatment. In many cases, caterpillars can be knocked out of small trees by shaking branches. Two other species of caterpillars that have caused minor defoliation recently are the green striped mapleworm and the redhumped caterpillar. The mapleworm is primarily a pest on maple, while the redhump is a general feeder on many types of trees. Again, their defoliation is usually too late in the season to be of concern. There are several large caterpillars that occur at this time of year. Most are green and may reach four inches or more in length. They are the larval stages of giant moths such as the royal walnut moth, the polyphemus moth and the luna moth. These caterpillars almost never cause any feeding damage. They are usually found walking across the lawn or driveway as they look for a place to pupate. They will overwinter as cocoons and emerge as moths next summer. The largest and most bizarre of the large caterpillars is the hickory devil which may reach over five inches in length. It has large orange horns and looks quite fearsome, but is completely harmless. It turns into the royal walnut moth. Quite a few people have encountered stinging caterpillars in recent weeks. There are several species that occur at this time of year. The most frequently encountered species is the saddleback caterpillar, a small green species with a brown spot on the back and two horn like appendages on each end of the body. Other stinging cater pillars include the hagmoth, io moth, and puss caterpillar. These caterpillars do not sting like bees or wasps. They have small hollow spines on their bodies connected to poison glands. Brushing against them causes a stinging or burning sensation similar to a bee sting. Some people may have to visit the doctor if the pain is severe. These caterpillars do not occur in large numbers. They are usually found as individuals or in small groups, so general area wide spraying is not called for. A publication on stinging caterpillars is available online a t http://www.ext.vt.edu/vce/specialty/pestmgmt/entofact- cialty/pestmgmt/entofactsheets/444-214.pdf. To keep up with current backyard pests and general gardening information, read the biweekly Horticulture Update at http ://www. ext. vt. edu/offices/f auquier/hortupdate.

So, why is it that we find it so hard to accept the end of Life itself? Is it the one thing that is exempt from finality? Etty Hillesum talked about accepting the inevitability of death when she wrote, “By ‘coming to terms with life* 1 mean the reality of death has become a definite part of my life, my life has, so to speak, been extended by death, by my looking death in the eye and accepting it. by accepting destruction as part of life and no longer wasting my energies on fear of death or the refusal to acknowledge its inevitability.” One thing that can help a person face death is having the right support-family members, friends, and a funeral home which offers you the logistical expertise you need. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we're here to make your life more bearable as you cope with a loss, and we do that by making all the funeral plans run smoothly and to your preferences.
