Wayland Rappahannock County Public Schools began its 2001-2002 session on Monday and for the most part the children were excited with the thought of going to school for the first time or returning for another year. According to Superintendent Dr. David Gangel enrollment for the first day was 984. Two for the money: Kids Song and Song Camp concerts coming By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer The glorious fall Rappahannock" event season is about upon us, and Paul Reisler, the Ki Theatre, and the Kid Pan Alley project and all of its volunteers and supporters have two concerts planned for the community on consecutive weekends in September. The first, on Friday, Sept. 14 at the Ki Theatre in Washington, is this year’s song camp concert, appropriately titled “The Singer and the Song.” The singer/songwriters joining Paul Reisler and vocalist Diane Bardwell at the always sold out song camp concert are Beth NielsenChapman ~ and Ysaye ‘ Maria Barnwell. " ‘ . Beth Nielsen-Chapman is an artist who hardly needs an introduction. Her songs have brought top-ofthe-country-chart hits for Trisha Yearwood, Tanya Tucker, Willie Nelson, and Lorrie Morgan, she penned Faith Hill’s number one song, “This Kiss,” and Elton John chose “Sand and Water” to sing in memory of Princess Diana and Gianni Versace. Ms. Nielsen-Chapman’s own albums have charted i%the top 10 in the adult contemporary category, and her ability to convey her soul’s message makes attendance at a concert in which she performs a prerequisite for reflection. Ms. Nielsen-Chapman’s concert confrere, Dr. Ysaye Maria Barnwell, is a DC phenomenon who must be seen and heard to be believed. A member of the internationally acclaimed a cappella quintet, Sweet Honey in the Rock, since 1979, Dr. Barnwell’s extraordinary vocal abilities (she has a range of over three See CONCERTS, Page A3 Massive plans proposed By Don Audette Rappahannock News Writer Two very large development efforts are proposed for Clevenger’s Corner, at the intersection of Route 211 and Route 229 in Culpeper County. The intersection, three miles from Rappahannock County, could end up with an area population of 9,000-11,000 people in ten to fifteen years. The first proposal is from the Culpeper County government. Called; the Clevenger’s Corner “Village; Center,” it is. part of Culpepet County’s Comprehensive Plan... Residential, commercial, and light industrial development is to spread out in all directions around the Route 211/229 intersection, Covering 1,863 acres or three square miles. This almost matches Warrenton’s 4.24 square miles. The proposed population at Clevenger’s Corner would exceed that of Warrenton’s current 6,670 people. The second proposal is from the private sector. It is a request for rezoning from South Wales’ developer Ken Thompson and Centex Homes, part of Centex Corporation, a $7 billion company. It also involves residential, commercial, and light industrial development. It rolls out from the southeast comer of Route 211/229, covering 1,890 acres opposite the South Wales subdivision along Route 229. It overlaps and extends beyond Culpeper County’s “Village Center” plan for that quadrant. Its population may be 6,000 persons or more in itself. The combined developments at”* Clevenger’s Comer could "be somewhat overwhelming. Culpeper County’s “Village Center” proposal at Clevenger’s Comer, in Jeffersonton Magisterial District, is one of six such places in Culpeper County designated to absorb much of the county’s future growth. The District now has 4,800 people, many clustered about the Route 211/229 intersection. The See DEVELOPMENT, Page A8 Preserving a record of our past By Rob Sherwood RN Contributing Writer Ever wonder how many buildings we have in Rappahannock County that were built before the Civil War and are still occupied today? Or how many buildings we had during the Civil War and what has happened to them? Do we have any buildings left from before the War of 1812? The Revolutionary War? A survey is begun In the early 1980s a young man who lived in Little Washington and was trained in early American architectural styles was curious about these questions—and set about to find the answers. For most of 1983 he visited as many historic homes in the county as he got permission to visit, taking careful notes on their architectural details and special features. In all that year he surveyed 140 properties, noting their locations on the U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle maps of the country and compiling special two-page descriptions of each. He loved Rappahannock and he loved his work. He surveyed most of the historical properties in Washington, which amounted to 87, in Flint Hill (22), Woodville (28), and Massie’s Comer (13). But then eros interfered: he got married and left the county. Alas, the survey remained unfinished, with an estimated 120 properties still unrecorded. And therein lay the rub: to finish or not to finish this survey of historic resources of our county. The man who did the survey in 1983 is David Edwards, and today he is the Director of the Winchester Regional Office of Virginia’s Department of Historic Resources (DHR). His jurisdiction covers a quarter of the state—all of the Shenandoah Valley and Northern A community coalition is born Virginia down to our area. He notes that Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, and Orange have not completed surveys of their considerable historic resources; Fauquier is currently being surveyed (see their web site at: www.piedmontsouthem.net/hrc/); the other counties in his region have completed surveys of their historic resources. Benefits of the survey Edwards explains that the county survey of historicjesources has these benefits: • Establishing a professional baseline inventory of the county’s historic resources • Identifying county-wide historic properties deemed to be candidates for the Virginia Landmark Register. (These properties are also entered in the National Landmark Register, and six properties in the county are already so designated.) • Identifying historic districts, as has already been done with Little Washington and Sperryville, which are also listed in the Virginia Landmark Register (which can be viewed at the Historical Society). • Making available to qualifying property owners substantial tax credits for renovation expenditures. • Compiling illustrated reports, maps, photographs, and other media to be available for public use. • Increasing community awareness of and pride in cultural resources of historical, architectural, or archaeological interest. • Strengthening our local econo my by increasing friendly tourism. • Providing opportunities for interested county residents to make lasting contributions to this process. Edwards also notes that copies of the survey results—official two-page reports on each property, the quadrangle maps locating the properties, and other official documentation— would be located in three places: the Rappahannock Historical Society on Gay Street, the Richmond headquarters of the Department of Historic Resources, and Edwards’ regional office in Winchester. But what are the drawbacks to completing the survey? Isn’t this a step in a process that would increase property values and hence raise See SURVEY, Page A6 Photo courtesy of Jeff Light WOODVILLE: This photo was taken by Architect Thomas Tepper of Castleton in September of 1998.

This frees our secretary to assist the Guidance Department as they attend to your childrens’ needs. The library can always use assistance shelving books (a job that never seems to end), teachers need assistance with copying, filing etc., and, of course, tutors are always needed in a variety of areas. Please call Jan Makela, Volunteer Coordinator, right away to offer your assistance (987-8259). • Rhonda Jenkins will be directing the RCES Intramurals Program again this year with some minor modifications. Students in grades four and five will stay on Mondays and Tuesdays; sixth and seventh grade students will stay on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Both programs will be from 3:30-5 in the afternoon beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 4. If you would like to register your child for this program, you may pick up a form from the RCES office at any time. The program will offer clinics in the following sports, Cross Country/Conditioning, Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, Baseball/Softball. A daily running and exercise program will also be offered. • RCPS Adult Education classes for fall are currently being planned. If you are interested in applying to teach a particular class, please call Jan Makela at 987-8259 by Wednesday, Sept. 5. Brochures should be available at both schools and throughout the community within the next two weeks. The caliber of adult classes taught in the past has been exceptional. We are proud of the level of expertise we have been able to provide in a variety of areas. Stay timed. • Please be reminded that the regular release time for RCES students is 3:10. If your child is a car rider, please park in the rear of the school and be prepared to meet your child promptly at 3:10 in the cafeteria. This will make for a much smoother, and safer, dismissal process. We understand that occasionally you must be a few minutes late, but please try to arrive no later than 3:20. Thanks so much for your cooperation. • As you begin this year, please make these two commitments: 1. Read with your children at least 15 minutes every night.

PUE000736 On July 25,2001, The Potomac Edison Company, d/b/a Allegheny Power (“AP or “The Company”), filed an application pursuant to § 56-579 of the Code of Virginia to seek approval for the transfer of management and control of AP’s transmission facilities to the PJM Interconnection, LLC (“PJM”), under an arrangement know as “PJM West", together with the information required under Rule 20 VAC 5-32090 of the Commission's Regulations Governing Transfer of Transmission Assets of Regional Transmission Entities (“Rules”). In its application, the Company states that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) issued an Order on July 12, 2001, that: (i) accepted the PJM West arrangements subject to certain conditions, (ii) required a compliance filing within 60 days, and (iii) required AP and other participants to take part in a 45 day mediation process designed ultimately to achieve the creation of a single Regional Transmission Organization for the entire Northeast region, consisting of the PJM/PJM West Region as well as the New York and New England Independent System Operator regions. AP indicated that its present intent was to continue with the PJM West arrangement, unless unexpected developments occurred regarding certain rate revenue recovery issues and/or in the mediation process regarding the creation of the Northeast Regional Transmission Organization. In its application and accompanying testimony, AP describes the rate impacts on it and its customers of the implementation of the PJM West arrangement. The Company alleges that upon implementation of the PJM West arrangement, PJM would become the transmission provider on the Allegheny System offering service under the PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT"). Alleghany’s OATT would be withdrawn. The Company states that all service agreements filed pursuant to Allegheny’s OATT, including the Network Integration Transmission Service Agreements, would then terminate. Allegheny proposes to transfer service for customers served under its sen/ice agreements to the PJM OATT, and customers to excute service agreements under the PJM OATT which would bind them to the PJM OATT terms and conditions. The Company summarizes the changes these customers would see as follows: (i) a change from a load ratio share to a unit rate for network service; (ii) a requirement to pay their share of the PJM administrative costs and overhead contained in Schedules 9 and 11 of the PJM OATT and acquire ancillary sen/ices at the PJM rates; and (iii) potential liability for congestion charges under PJM’s operational framework. In its application and accompanying documents, AP has identified a net loss associated with joining PJM, and a total annual revenue target of $27,699,138, which the Company contends must be recovered to remain revenue neutral. AP proposes to recover the $27,699,138 through a Transition Revenue Neutrality Charge (“TRNC") added to the PJM through and out rate, and a Transition Market Expansion Charge (“TMEC”), contained in new Schedule 11 to the PJM OATT. The details of these and other Company proposals are set forth in AP’s application and accompanying documents. Interested persons are encouraged to review these documents for the details of these proposals. A copy of the captioned application is available for public inspection between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, in the Commission's Document Control Center, located on the first floor of the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia. The application may also be requested in writing from AP’s counsel at the address noted below. An original and fifteen (15) copies of any comments on the application or requests for hearing must be submitted in writing to Joel H. Peck, Clerk, State Corporation Commission, Post Office Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23218, on or before September 26, 2001, referring to Case No. PUE000736. A copy of any such comments or request for hearing shall also be served on AP’s counsel on or before September 26,2001, at the address noted below. Requests for hearing shall state why a hearing is necessary and why the issues necessitating a hearing cannot be adequately addressed in written comments. Any person filing comments and desiring to become a parly to the proceeding or filing a request for hearing shall also file a notice of participation as required by Rule 5 VAC 5-20-80 B of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure on or before September 26,2001. All correspondence should refer to Case No. PUE000736. A copy of any comments or requests for hearing and notice of participation must be also sent on or before September 26, 2001, to counsel for AP as follows: Philip J. Bray, Esquire, Allegheny Power Company, 10435 Downsville Pike, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740-1766. If no sufficient request for hearing is received, a formal hearing at which oral testimony is received might not be held. Interested persons may obtain a copy of the Commission’s Order Prescribing Notice and Inviting Comments and/or Requests for Hearing setting out complete procedural schedule applicable thereto, from the Commission’s web site, bttP://www.state.va.us/scc/caseinfo/orders.htm or by directed a written request tor a copy of the same to Joel H.

Tim Kaine’s message resonates with voters Tim Kaine, the Democratic candidate for Virginia’s lieutenant governor, brought his we-can-do-it message to the Washington Fire Hall Sunday night, galvanizing a crowd of 100-plus with his infectious optimism. It was the last stop of a whirlwind weekend that took Kaine and his stumping partner, nine-year-old-son Woody, to eight events in southside on Saturday, then after church Sunday morning in Danville, on to Winchester, Upperville and Marshall. There was no sign that the grueling schedule had taken a toll on the 43-year-old Kaine. “I had three hours of sleep last night and no idea how many I’ll get tonight, but I feel like I can go on like this forever,” he said, attributing his energy to the reception from the voters and his resulting expectation for a Democratic win in November. “Bridge builder” is how the two-term mayor of Richmond described himself. When he was elected, Richmond had the dubious distinction of being ranked number two among U.S. cities in homicides. The city’s population had been declining steadily since 1970, and no schools had been built in a generation. Thirty days before Kaine took office, Richmond’s bond rating was downgraded as Wall Street investors decided the city was a poor credit risk. “We haven’t done everything we wanted to do, but we’ve done a lot,” Kaine said. During his administration, the homicide rate has been cut by 60 percent and violent crime by 45 percent. Richmond has initiated Project Exile, a tough gun safety law praised by both gun rights and gun control groups and promoted by President George Bush as a crime-fighting model for the nation. “With no tax increase, we built and opened five new schools,” Kaine continued. In fact, he noted, virtually every tax levy in the city was reduced during his time in office. “We tried to do it in a strategic way to make positive things happen,” Kaine explained. To encourage the growth of small business and stem the exodus to the suburban fringe, business license taxes for small businesses were eliminated. Real estate tax relief was extended to low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities. To encourage the re-development of the inner city, an innovative tax abatement program was instituted, exempting property taxes for renovated housing and commercial space for 10 years to 15 years if the property is in a low-income area. The city’s old train station has been reclaimed as , a transportation hub, with Amtrak to begin service there for the first time next year. And the 2000 census results shows Richmond reversing the decline and again gaining population for the first time since 1970. “We’re doing things that make a difference in the quality of people’s lives,” Kaine said. “And it shows. Richmond has gone from a problem city to a solution city. We’ve gotten things done by reaching across lines — racial lines, Candace Clough Estate Gardener ' consultation ~ gardening & grounds maintenance ~ design ~ planting -f 540-675-2344 For information on: • Purchasing • Bookings • and/or Parties can Cindy Nicholson “Win FREE merchandise’ 540-937-5576 Designer ” • Christmas catalog has arrived! email: cdrhill@aol.com Warren Memorial Hospital WUeyHeaKhSystem Welcomes Tinea J.

But it is the state’s public education system that sparked the candidate’s strongest remarks. “I’m passionate about the fate of Virginia’s public schools,” said Kaine, who has three children attending those schools. “It’s not a headline for me. It comes home in my kids’ backpacks every day. It’s discussed at the dinner table and at PTA meetings . . . And from my experience being a parent and examining budgets, I have to conclude that Virginia still doesn’t care enough about public education.” As evidence, he pointed to the state’s ranking as 11th in the U.S. on the basis of per capita income, while dropping to the bottom half in teachers’ salaries. “I know it’s not all about money, but we have to treat people fairly ... If we’re not going to place a high priority on education, what is our high priority?” he asked, maintaining that Virginia underfunds education by about $1 billion a year, shifting that burden to cities and counties. Following his opening statement, Kaine opened the floor for a conversation session with the audience which lasted about half an hour. The evening came to a conclusion with the drawing of two door prizes, won by Rappahannock residents Matthew Ryan Norman We love you, Mama, Dada, Na-Na, Pa-pa & Uncle Jeff laStlAllI-i JENKINS ORCHARDS Quality Fruit Directions: RECYCLE HUii’ Photo courtesy of Francie Schroeder WELCOME TO TOWN: Tim Kaine, candidate for Lt Governor, is surrounded by new friends and supporters from Rappahannock at the end of the Town Meeting this past Sunday evening at the Washington Fire Hall.

It is always the first Monday in September and is observed in the United States and Canada as a legal holiday. In many countries it is celebrated on May 1. ; The Knights of Labor inaugurated the celebration of Labor Day in 1882. Different organizations then petitioned for legislation making the day a legal holiday; in 1887 Colorado actually passed the first law to that affect. The day is marked by cessation from usual labor. 2 Rappahannock’s highways will also be crowded as giotorist look for one more weekend of summer fun during the Labor Day holiday. We encourage drivers to drive defensively and follow the rules of the road to predent traffic crashes and make sure you and your children are buckled up safely. * Eryoy the cooler weather and the fall activities that are quickly approaching. Fall festivals, family outings, school activities, sports events, etc. will fill the lives of piose we come in contact with everyday and we encourage you to become a part of these experiences. Enjoy!

Wouldn’t owners of such properties eventually find themselves limited in what they could do to fix up or add to their property? Edwards explains that this is not the case: the survey in itself merely provides information for a community, a district, or the county as a whole to do with as they see fit. “The Department of Historic Resources exists to encourage and facilitate historic preservation—not to regulate it,” asserts Edwards. The effort to complete the survey begins So how was the process of completing the survey revived if it had languished since 1983? A year ago, Hal Hunter, while assisting both the Amissville Area Community Association (AACA) and the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA), got the ball rolling when he noticed that the county’s 1998 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 7, pages 92-93, lists under “Principle 5” several policies that call for the completion of the Historic Resources Survey: 1. Support the establishment of historic districts to protect recognized properties of historic value and to retain the integrity of historic neighborhoods. 2. Support the establishment of rural historic districts to protect recognized properties of historic value which are located outside village and town settings that include historic buildings and the extensive surrounding historic landscapes and estate grounds. 3. Ensure that proposed development is compatible with the architectural attributes of nearby or adjoining historic properties, neighborhoods, and districts. 4. Promote the placement of scenic easements particularly (but not limited to) on lands associated with historic buildings and sites and those on the National Register of Historic Places, and seek to protect the scenic value of those lands when land use decisions and plans are made. In fact, he found that the seventh policy specifically mentions completing the survey: 7. Encourage continuation of the Historic Properties Survey Program with funding participation. . by the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors or its designee. Hunter began to press this issue among his colleagues on the AACA and RCCA, including Steve Miller, Rick Kohler, Bob Dennis, ClifT Miller, and others. Soon he had an ad hoc citizens’ group formed for implementing the historic preservation points in the Comprehensive Plan. Discussion with David Edwards led to a figure of $20,000 for the completion of the survey. It is estimated that about 120 properties remain to be surveyed and that the work would take from six months to a year to complete. Description of the process of the survey Working with David Edwards and other Department of Historic Resources personnel, the ad hoc citizens’ group began planning the process that the survey would entail. The process includes two public input meetings, as well as a series of defined steps: 1. The County Administrator, John McCarthy, oversees the survey and the hiring of a stateapproved historic resources contractor to do the survey. 2. A citizens’ coalition works with the County Administrator to: • Solicit donations for the survey • Help develop the county’s vision • Help develop the proposal • Help support the contractor who is hired to complete the survey • Help keep the county informed of the process. 3. The Board of Supervisors (BOS) approves the process and stays informed of its progress. 4. The money is raised by contributions. $20,000 is seen as the threshold amount to get the survey completed. However, raising more than that would result in a more indepth and detailed survey, the scope of which can be determined by future discussions. 5. Normally this money would be matched by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, which would then handle the hiring process of a state-approved historic resources surveyor. However, this year the ad hoc citizens’ group learned that no more money is available, so the County Administrator, John McCarthy, will be contracting with the consultant. A leading candidate is Maral S. Kalbian, who has completed a similar survey for Frederick County and is at work on one for Fauquier County. The contractor would have up to twelve months to complete the work. So far, the following requirements for the survey have been proposed: 1. The identification of properties deemed to be high potential candidates for the Virginia / National Landmark Register (so far there are six county properties listed). 2. The identification of districts deemed to be high potential candidates for the Virginia / National Landmark Register (so far Washington and Sperryville are listed). 3. The creation of maps showing all properties over fifty years old. 4. The creation of an illustrated report including architectural data, electronic data, and photographs for each surveyed property. 5. The creation of a scripted slide presentation. 6. The attending of two public meetings for the community—one at the outset and one at the conclusion of the project. Additional responsibilities for the contractor could include: 1. The preparation of the necessary nomination documentation for any homes or districts deemed suitable for the Virginia or National Landmark Register. (This, no doubt, would require additional money.) 2. The writing and publishing of a quality book that would detail the historic properties of the county. Such a book would be similar to Maral S. Kalbian’s Frederick County, Virginia: History through Architecture at the Rappahannock Historical Society. (Getting the book written and published would require a considerable extra expenditure—around $20,000 at least—and would be a separate issue from the survey itself.) A survey Coalition is forming Beginning in April of this year, a series of meetings has occurred; the ad hoc citizens’ group has expanded into a coalition of many county groups and individuals who support the completion of the historic resources survey. Some of the county organizations that have so far joined in the effort include: • Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance (RCCA) • Rappahannock Historic Society (RHS) • Rappahannock Farmers’ Association (RFA) • Rappahannock League of Environmental Protection (RLEP) • Amissville Area Community Association (AACA) • Rappahannock Lions Club • Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) • And Moose Hill enterprises. In mid-May the Coalition held a meeting with Margaret Peters, the DHR’s Head of the Survey Program. She agreed that the figure of $20,000 would be enough to complete the survey at least in its most basic form—surveying the remaining 120 properties in the county deemed of historic value. Jeff Light steps in as Head of the Coalition It was at this meeting that Jeff Light volunteered to head the Coalition, taking the reins from Hal Hunter who had successfully gotten the survey issue back on track but who wanted to continue only in an advisory capacity. Jeff Light is well suited toguide the coalition process. He ' is hard at work personally ren-. ovating his 200-year-old Woodville home, which is built . on the town’s first surveyed , lot. In the summer of 1998 he helped plan and lead Woodville’s bicentennial celebration which invited groups, from the whole county to par-,' ticipate. He is the past president of the Rappahannock Lions Club and works as a consultant for corporate and military leadership training. One of his goals with the survey is to get Woodville des-' ignated as an historic district, as is Washington and Sperryville. “This would really . help promote a greater sense of community,” he says. “This kind of grassroots effort is the best way to strengthen community values, to get everyone’ to feel connected to each other, and to a place they love and take pride in.” Light worries that community values are weakening across America and feels that initiatives like the Historic Resources Survey can help rekindle civic-mind-’ edness and a sense of shared1 values. The Coalition moves forward First on the Coalition’s agenda was to present ,the issue and the proposal to the^ Board of Supervisors’ meetingon June 24. Here Light gave a. presentation of the surveyV benefits: • It satisfies an objective of the County Comprehensive;' Plan. • It increases the baseline knowledge of the county’s historic resources. • It can increase community interest in our cultural resources—historical, architectural, and archaeological. • It can increase friendly! tourism. • It can qualify owners df historical property for tax benefits. • It is non-restrictive—a property owner may choose not to participate. He presented a list of groups and individuals who. have come forward to support the idea and who have con-! tributed money to the survey fund. At this meeting County Administrator John McCarthy also praised the idea of com-' pleting the survey, as did! many citizens present at the meeting. The presentation! clearly demonstrated that; there is a groundswell of sup-J port for the proposal; then at? the July 2 BOS meeting—as* was reported in this paper—! the supervisors unanimously! approved the proposal. : The money raised so far ! As of Aug. 11, the total; money raised for the survey* has been $15,800. Thus tl\e shortfall is only $4,200 before See SURVEY, Page A> Down Memory Lane .From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO Aug. 31, 1961 Harrison Powers of Amissville has just returned from a week of forestry training at £he Jamestown 4-H Camp.

Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club and friends went by chartered bus last Wednesday on a field trip to the Nation’s Capital to visit the Washington Cathedral and its Bishop’s Garden. A photo of new teachers at RCES and RCHS appeared. The three new teachers at RCES were Ellen Becker, Terry Mielechowski and Susan Farley. There were seven new teachers at RCHS, Valerie Gehringer, Mary Anne Biggs, Dean Hahn, Shelly Wolfe, Libby Snead, Jeanne Griffin and Glen Davis. 10 YEARS AGO Aug. 29, 1991 In a “Fruit of the Vine” photo Mel Naumann was harvesting grapes at Persimmon Springs Farm in Huntly. The Chardonnay grapes, owned by Donna and Bud Brune, are sold to neighboring wineries. Farmers in Rappahannock are banding together to aid their brethren in Clarke County, one of many areas in the state hard-hit by drought this summer. The Rappahannock Farmers’ Association has arranged for Rappahannock-grown hay to be picked up by Clarke County farmers at Vierling’s warehouse in Flint Hill. So far more than 500 bales have been donated. James Marangoni of Castleton, the Rappahannock County deputy coordinator of emergency services, was among 11 Virginia residents to attend the 1991 Radiological Officers’ Conference in Harrisburg, Pa. last week. Tim Mahoney, age 16 and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Mahoney, hosted Akihiro Kawahara, also age 16 this summer. Yoshimasa Otsuka, age 13, visited Mark Jenkins, age 13, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pete Jenkins. Akihiro and Yoshimasa, Japanese students, arrived on July 26 and stayed until Aug. 21. They were part of a 39member 4-H LABO exchange group visiting 4-H families throughout Virginia for four weeks. COMPILED BY BARBARA C.

Survey Frpm Page A6 the project can get underway. Bob Dennis, president of RCCA. announced last month that one member of the conservation group donated $10,000 for the project. At their Aug. 6 meeting, the supervisors approved a measure to allocate $2,000 to the project. On Aug. 8 the Washington Town Council voted to donate $1,000 to the project. Normally the Virginia Department of Historic Resources offers a “purvey and Planning Cost Share Program,” but the Coalition was informed that matching funds are not available this year. The Cost Share Program often matches the funds raised within a county and—had this been the case ttyis year—the Coalition •would have exceeded its goal by now. Individuals or groups can support the survey by making donations that are 100 percent tax deductible. Checks should be made out to “Treasurer, Rappahannock County,” marked for “Historic Survey,” and dropped off at our County Administrator’s office at 290 Gay Street opposite the Gay Street Theater. • The Piedmont -Environmental Council has contributed a homemade model of a log cabin to collect money in for the survey. On July 4 it debuted at the RLEP tent, then for the rest of the month it was at the library. The first week in August it was at the Comer Store in Sperryville; then at Settles’ Grocery in Flint Hill and is now on display at R. H. Ballard Fine Art Ltd. in Sperryville as it continues its rounds of the county. ' Voices against the survey Understandably there are vbices in the county of worry that such a survey may directly or indirectly increase p'roperty taxes or lead to stricter regulations regarding home improvements and renovations. However, neither result would be the case from the survey itself as it has no regulatory effect. The preface to the fourth edition of The Virginia Landmarks Register, available at the Rappahannock Historical Society, makes this point clear: Listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register does not restrict a private owner’s use of his or her property. Architectural controls, such as those imposed through historic district zoning, can be established only by local governing bodies. Registration is primarily an official recognition that a place is an outstanding historic resource and is worthy of preservation. (Preface page x) Zoning and tax issues are regulated by town councils and by the Board of Supervisors; the intent of the Survey of Historic Resources in the county is merely to establish a baseline historical record. The Coalition continues its work The Coalition wishes to help collect the remaining survey cost of $4,200 by the end of the month. Their goal is to have the survey underway by this fall. Many within the Coalition would like to see additional historical districts created within the county— such as in Woodville, Flint Hill, Amissville, and Chester Gap. Currently there are two county historic districts in the Register: Washington and Sperryville. Others would like to see more Rappahannock properties added to the Virginia Landmarks Register, which currently lists seven: Ben Venue (at Ben Venue); Caledonia Farm (off Fodderstack Road near Flint Hill); John W. Miller House (near Slate Mills); Montpelier (in F.T. Valley); Flint Hill Baptist Church (Flint Hill); Mount Salem Baptist Meeting House (near Washington); Washington Mill (on the Old Mill Road near the library). The survey is intended to make adding historic districts and historic properties to the Register a much simpler task for municipal governments and for property owners. Completion of the survey would also make tax breaks available to property owners in the survey if they renovate their homes. Details about how this would be handled are available from David Edwards, whose contact information is at the conclusion of this article. How to contribute Citizens can make a contribution by check, made out to “Treasurer, Rappahannock County,” marked for “Historic Survey.” These checks can be sent to or dropped off at the County Administrator’s office on Gay Street, Washington. All donations are 100 percent tax deductible. Citizens interested in joining the Coalition are encouraged to call Jeff Light, who is in Woodville, at 987-9523. Related resources Fauquier County is in the process of completing its survey of historic resources. Their coalition to support the project has a web site that can be viewed at www.piedmontsouthern.net/hrc/. The book that was completed by Maral S. Kalbian on Frederick County, Va., can be viewed at the Rappahannock Historical Society, as can the Virginia Landmarks Register. The nine U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle maps of the county can also be viewed at the Historical Society, as can most of the two-page entries on the 140 historic properties that David Edwards surveyed in 1983. The full records of the 140 properties are in the archives of the Department of Historic Resources in Richmond; a full set of copies will resurface in our county when the contractor begins his or her work. The Rappahannock Historical Society, under President Ray Gooch and Director Marilyn Hoffman, has generously offered its space as an office and storage space for the survey contractor. According to the Society’s Administrative Assistant Donna Fisher, the survey is of vital importance to its record keeping of the county’s history: “We are always interested in identifying properties in our county and preserving their history.

Corbin, 32. has been charged with being drunk in public and obstruction of justice in the incident. According to the report filed by Deputy Anthony Berry, the Sheriff’s Office dispatcher received a complaint that a man at a residence off U.S. 211 was acting irrationally, and had been observed leaving the area in an automobile. Deputy Berry located the vehicle, and found Corbin, who was not driving, to be intoxicated. However, when Deputy Berry’ tried to arrest him, Corbin resisted and had to be physically restrained. Windows damaged The Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office is investigating vandalism to an outbuilding on a property on Bear Wallow Road, Flint Hill that was reported on the afternoon of Aug. 25. The property owner, who had just taken possession of the home, reported that windows in an outbuilding by his pond had been shot out by at least 15 BBs. Damage was estimated at $400. Deputy J. C. WTelch is investigating the incident. Residence burglarized The Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office has identified two subjects who are alleged to have illegally entered a home on Azalea Lane, Amissville, between Aug. 23-25. The subjects, both male juveniles, entered the home after reaching through a broken window beside an entrance door, and are allegecT* to have taken personal property from the residence. Deputy J. C. Welch, the investigating officer, has interviewed the subjects, and charges are pending.

Write a letter to the editor! Development From Page A1 “Village Center” plan would add 4,138, for a total close to 9,000 people for the District. If owners of nearby lots within the plan exercise their right to build, or sub-divide and build, almost 2,000 more people could be added, for a total of about 11,000 persons. This extensive growth will impact Rappahannock County. Culpeper County’s population, now at 34,262, grew by over 23 percent from 1990 to 2000. In contrast, Rappahannock County experienced only 5.5 percent growth to 6,983 people from 1990 to 2000. On July 31, 2001, the Culpeper County Planning Commission held an informational meeting in Jeffersonton to obtain citizen input. For the first time, Clevenger’s Corner’s “Village Center” had a line drawn around it. Within its boundaries would be 1,483 housing units, a projected population of 4,138 people by 2010; a total of 200 acres devoted to commercial use, and a projected sewerage treatment level of 653,200 gallons per day, the effluent being discharged into the Rappahannock River. Sewer and water capacity determine the boundaries of the “Village Center.” With an existing state-approved sewerage treatment discharge permit of up to 850,000 gallons per day, a 33 percent increase in the “Village Center” is likely beyond the current plan. Water is to be provided by a publicly owned groundwater well system, and use is to be made of a water storage tower. What has been the reaction of people to Culpeper County’s plan for Clevenger’s Corner? At the informational meeting on July 31, some 160 people packed the Jeffersonton Community Center, filling all chairs, crowding along the walls, leaning out of a kitchen facility, and listening through a screen door outside the room. It was a hot night. About 34 people spoke their thoughts on the proposed “Village Center.” Over 90% expressed opposition, many vehemently. A primary concern was population increase. There would be more people than currently live in Warrenton; Clevenger’s Corner would become a rival of Culpeper town; it would be more populous than all of Rappahannock County. There were comments on the need for more schools, more fire and rescue services, and more public safety from the Sheriff’s department; all involving more taxpayer’s money. Increased traffic and safety factors on Route 211 and Route 229 were commented on repeatedly. More vehicles, and speeders, would be on roads with school buses and farm equipment. Quality of life would be degraded. There would be pollution in the Rappahannock River. People worried about a drawdown of water in their wells. One mentioned light pollution, with the loss of dark night skies. There was also a profound sense that a “community” was being replaced by a “city.” A few spoke in favor of the plan, noting that growth was inevitable. One of the last speakers summed up the feelings of most. He asked the Planning Commission, “Why us?” Ultimately, the “village plan” has to be approved by the Culpeper County Planning Commission and the County’s Board of Supervisors. The Culpeper County Comprehensive Plan also notes that, “The identification of potential growth areas in the Future Land Use Plan is not an absolute assurance of community acceptance or a commitment by the County.” The second proposal is a private undertaking by South Wales and Centex. Homes. It is a massive residential, com; mercial, and light industrial development bound by Route 211, Route 229, a part of Route 621, and the Rappahannock River. The rezoning request needs action by Oct. 1. The rezoning request is for 2,700 homes, including 1,980 homes for “activq adults,” ages 55 or older: about 6,0QO people in all. It calls for 1,000,000 square feet of light industrial development on 100 acres along Route 211. It asks for 500,000 square feet of commercial development on 60 acres at the corner of Routes 211 and 229, to include a hotel and conference center. Route 229 i$ to be moved, to cross to Route 622, Old Bridge Road. The space between the current and new Route 229 is to become a commuter parking facility. These figures are hard to grasp* What is comparable to the 160 acres of commercial/light industrial space and its 1.5 million square feet? Many have seen the commercial/industrial effort at Gainesville on Route 29 near 1-66. On • the south side of Route 29, lies the. Virginia Gateway Center, now covering 217 acres. Clevenger’s Corner’s commer-: cial/light industrial area would be three-; quarters the size of the Virginia Gateway Center. 1.5 million square feet*? Wal-Mart in Culpeper covers 201,000 square feet. Seven Wal-Marts would fit in at Clevenger’s Corner. A question might be asked: How can a major rezoning take place before g “Village Center” has been defined and approved by the public?

Some Songbirds begin migrating south as early as August, so by late October winter birds have settled in our area while your summer birds are long gone. Many people do not start feeding birds until severe weather arrives, I think they may be missing out. Fall is the season to begin, even though natural foods are plentiful and birds, like the Black-capped Chickadee, may not spend much time at you feeder. They may still be in the fields and woods, feasting on seeds, berries and insects. Birds will visit feeders occasionally even when “natural” food sources are still available. It is not that they need the food yet, but they are scouting their winter territories. Winter can be a very rough time for birds. Cold weather increases their calorie requirements at a time when food becomes harder to get. When snow covers seeds that have fallen from flowering plants and ice storms seal away tree buds and wild fruits, a tiny bird, such as a downy woodpecker, must still eat 1/3 to 3/4 of its weight each day. A bird has to find every bite that it eats, out of doors, every single day, no matter Fall bird feeding how brutal the weather. Birds study their resources in advance. That is what they are doing in the fall, noting available food sources. It is good to be included in their inventories. If the birds discover that your yard is worth visiting, they will remember and when hungry they will show up. On the other hand, if you wait until bad weather arrives, the birds may not ever realize what you have to offer. Under the stress of freezing weather they cannot afford the luxury of exploring. Birds must go where they know there will be food. They might not discover your feeder all winter, even though it is adequately supplied. Start offering food now. to be consistent about feeding the birds, but don’t worry if you have to be away from your home for a while in winter. Birds are used to having a food source disappear. That is when their fall observations serve them. They know where they can go, and they will not starve because of your lapse. Although, if you leave your feeders bare while you are at home, you will not see as many birds visiting your yard. They will retreat to your neighbors’ yards, and you will miss their frequent visits. Birds will come right to your window to a feeder, which allows the best view of the bird. Sometimes it takes a while for them to overcome their initial reluctance, so be patient. Occasionally, birds will fly into your windows because they see their reflection or think it is an open passage. Window decals can help break up the reflection. It you hnd a bird that has hit a window, carefully pick it up and put it in a box o r a large paper bag. Put it in a dark, quiet comer for a couple of hours. If the bird recovers, let it go. If the bird comes to, but seems injured, call your local wildlife rehabilitation center for help. Some visitors you can count on to i patronize your feeders in our area are Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays, House Finches, and Dark-eyed Juncos. If you have thick trees such as evergreens for shelter in your yard you r could attract Black-capped Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, Nuthatches, and Woodpeckers, as well. Backyard bird feeding is a convenient way to enjoy wildlife. Feed the birds where you can easily see them. No matter where you live, you can put food outside your door and our feathered friends will show their appreciation and make an appearance. Once you get started, it’s ft hard to stop. If you enjoy the birds in the fall and winter, you can do it year-round. Feeding the birds throughout the summer I will not make them “lazy” k or “dependent”. If you keep K your feeding station clean, K there is no reason for you M to stop feeding the birds. M Happy Birding! Jim Byuaters, Rappahannock News Nature Writer, writes a weekly column.

Forbush accepted to American Academy of Equine Art Flint Hill artist Sandra Forbush has recently been selected to associate membership in the American Academy of Equine Art, and two of her paintings have been chosen for this year’s AAEA Fall Open Juried Show. Paintings that were selected are “Foxfleld Steeplechase”, used for the race’s 2001 poster, and “Joint Meet”, which shows riders with the Old Dominion Hounds visiting with cappers at a check. This year’s AAEA show will be held at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky., Sept. 14 through Oct. 28. Other works by Forbush used for posters this year include the Smithsonian Animal Conservation Center Fall Festival and the Old Dominion Point-to-Point. She is currently designing note cards for the Museum of Hounds and Hunting. The AAEA was founded in 1980 by the late Alexander MackaySmith, who helped begin so many worthy equestrian organizations, and Dr. Joseph Rogers, of the Westmorland Davis Foundation. Membership to the AAEA is based on artistic ability, proven knowledge of equine anatomy, proficiency dealing with human figures, landscape and background. Oil painting by Sandra Fortoush THAI ELEPHANT: Sandra Forbush’s painting follows the Thailand theme of this year’s Smithsonian Conservation Center’s Fall Festival. Thai food will be served and the Thailand ambassador is expected to attend the event, to be held at the National Research Center in Front Royal Oct. 6-7. Balalaika! Exuberant and poignant folk music from Russia, Ukraine and other eastern European countries opens the new season at the Theatre at Washington, Va. The 35-person orchestra of the Washington Balalaika Society brings its beautiful collection of traditional Russian folk instruments to the Theatre for a performance on Saturday, Sept. 8 beginning at 8 p.m. The Russian folk orchestra was conceived in the 1880s by the nobleman Vasily Vasillevich Andreyev. Orchestras using folk instruments are now prevalent throughout Russia, not just in the cities but in schools and workplaces. The triangular balalaika and the round-bodied domra, the principal instruments of the folk orchestra, derive from the primitive lute of two or three strings which was played by Russian peasants in the 17th century, and which is believed to be of Tartar origin. All the domras and balalaikas played by the Washington Balalaika Society Orchestra are authentic instruments, and most of those to be played on stage at the Theatre were made in Russia. Over the years since folk instrument orchestras began two centuries ago, stringed instruments have come to be built in a variety of sizes, in order to produce the range of tones expected by audiences accustomed to the violin family. A third Russian string instrument, the gusli, which is a sort of harp, has been added; and the string sounds are now enriched by the addition of flute, oboe and accordion (the Russian form is known as a bayan), as well Russian percussion instruments. The WBS Orchestra has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Constitution Hall, the Smithsonian, the Embassy of Russia, at folk festivals and numerous other venues. Two previous concerts at the Theatre in “Little” Washington proved very popular, and the orchestra has been invited back at the request of several members of the audience. In addition to traditional folk and classical music, the program is likely to include more recent compositions, such as music from the film “Dr. Zhivago”. Russian baritone Vladimir Rozenblat and soprano Anya Titova will return to the Theatre with the orchestra for this concert. Tickets for the concert on Sept. 8 are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. For more information phone 540-675-1253, or send e-mail to TheatreVA@aol.com.

Cab Inn changed owners many times ; Sperryville \ By SALLY KEYSER \ 987-8471 Those of us who have lived in the county for years have seen many changes to some of the old structures of homes and businesses. With each new owner there is change. As the old saying goes, “nothing stays the same.” I’m referring to one particular structure on US 211 west of Sperryville known as “Cab Inn.” Charles H. Estes started selling apples and cider in 1932 from a log cabin that was built with logs they cut on the “Piney Run”. This is now the Shenandoah National Park. As business increased in 1936 they decided to add a long dining room to the structure to accommodate the growing business. The first building was then referred to as the “little dining room”. Many gathered there to play bridge. Many happy hours were spent there with their friends. The basketball players would gather there after a ball game and enjoyed danc ing to the juke box with Mrs. Quaintance as chaperone. It took five cents to play a record on the juke box, five cents doesn’t sound like much today, but it was a lot back then. There was not enough buses for transportation to the ball games, so different people would provide transportation, including Charlie Estes. They would go back to Cab Inn and dance in the dining room. The “Paul Jones” was one dance that was popular there. This was a country dance when couples would join in a circle, a whistle would blow, and the girls went one way and the guys the other. A whistle would blow again and you danced with the partner whose hand you were holding. At “special” times there was a “Girl take girl break dance”. This was when the girls could ask the boys to dance. “A lot has changed since way back then.” The third part was added about 1937 with the long cottage on the end being added in 1940. The gas pumps were operated by local people and Esso gasoline was sold. There was no television at this time and traffic was becoming heavy on weekends. Many came from the Washington, D.C. area to visit the gift shops, apple stand, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The park was just being established. The dining room became well known for their Virginia ham, and fried chicken. People from adjoining counties would call their orders in early so the food would be ready when they arrived. The two head waiters wore black pants and white shirts. The head cook was Mrs. Susie B. Majors, This was a totally different era because everyone was like one big happy family. They cared about each other and enjoyed being together and having good clean fun. Mr. Charles Estes closed “Cab Inn” after World War II, and he never reopened it. It changed ownership many times in a short time. In 1946 he sold it to a Mr. Pierson. Mr. Pierson sold it to E. Warren and G. Long. Mr. Clevenger bought it in 1947, and it was then sold to R.E. Thompson. A local man, Mr. Charles Henry Sisk bought it along with the old house on the right. It was then bought by Mr. Edward Armentrout,' who is the present owner. He remodeled the cottages and made apartments. The house was remolded and' became an arts and craft shop, called “Sugar Plum." , When interstate Route 6b was opened from Washington to Front Royal the traffic pat-! tern changed. It was easier for the traffic coming frorp * the metropolitan area to go to Front Royal rather than come 211. This caused a decline in traffic and caused many gift shops, apple stands, and businesses to close. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Keyser celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary oiv Saturday with their family and friends at their sons! home in Winchester. *. We wish all those who are sick a speedy recovery. Methodist women met The United Methodist Women met at the home of Mary Frances Bywaters on a recent Monday for their annual picnic. Members and their guests present for the event were Barbara Gentry, Louise McCulloch, Shelby Welch, Ardis East, Homer East, and daughter, Sherry, Mabel Lillard, M.H. Brady, Jack and Mary Curtis, Frances Hudson, Candy Lamma, Sue and Joe Cleffey, Merlin Shorb, Alice Pullen, Doug and Athena Bywaters and family. The Flint Hill United Methodist Church are planning a homecoming service with the Shorb Brothers on Sunday, Sept. 23. More details to follow.

The Flint Hill Baptist Church has worship service on the second, fourth and fifth Sundays at 11 a.m. The message will be delivered by the Pastor Robert Groff. The public is welcome.

Music Festival # 6 planned for Sept. 15-16 The sixth annual Rappahannock Music Festival is on the board for Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 15 and 16. Host Brian Ross of Mountainside Market in Sperryville is again planning a free and eclectic event, and he is now signing musicians for this year’s extravaganza.

Visit our web site at www.fauquier.com by Randy Minter Going Gently Into That Good Night For man\ people, as death approaches, moral fear gives wav to a strangely serene state of mind in which people believe they are having out of body experiences and seeing mystical bright lights. Wdiile (he media may draw attention to these "near death experiences" as pnxif of an afterlife, even some skeptics take notice of them as real clinical phenomena. Researchers have reported that up to one-third of people who come close to death have near-death experiences. And when people survive near brushes w ith death they experience tends to have a positive effect. Generally, people have a greater appreciation for life do not dwell on death as much, and have more concern for others they also tend to become more spiritual Appreciating our lives is something we all need more practice in. If we do. we tend to feel sweetness amidst loss later on w hen our time with our loved one is over. At the Moser Funeral Home, we re here to offer help through a process from planning a funeral and taking care of all the details to navigating the emotional terrain of loss. We're at 233 Broadview Avenue. Warrenton.

The healthy garden By Donna LaPre Special to the Rappahannock News Growing good food, beautiful flowers — and conserving natural life systems — all without chemical pesticides or fertilizers: this is what constitutes healthy gardening. “Organic” is a hot term these days. Actually, it’s a horticultural and agricultural practice that has existed for c e n - turies. It was only named as such in the 1940’s, by the founder of I^odale Institute, to distinguish a way of farming which avoids use of chemical fertilizers and pest controls. , i aont want to locus qn the term “organic”. I think it’s a good thing that there are now federal standards of organic certification to help me distinguish which foods are grown with synthetic chemicals in the grocery store and which aren’t. I don’t trust the quality of food in the stores much anymore: has it been grown in sludge, toxic chemicals, from genetically engineered seed? But organic covers a wide range of growing practices. If those practices merely mimic the industrial-scale synthetic farming model, or don’t contribute to conserving our planet, they’re only somewhat better, in my opinion. “Organic” growing methods that follow the cues of nature, world’s best gardener, however, really do embody the principles of healthy gardening, and that’s what this new, column is all about. So you won’t see information here on pest-killers, chemicals, Miracle-Gro, buying insects by mail to eat up your bugs, or erecting booby traps for wildlife. I don’t believe in gimmicks: I want the real thing in my garden land on my plate. ' Instead, there’ll be information on: healthy soil care; ; extending the growing season; ;old-timey plant varieties; seed-saving; planting for beneficial insects and a few recipes. ! Please, write with any suggestions for topics which interest you, questions about gardening or locating supplies and plants and of course, your comments. They’re welcome! .And any of you who have great garden tips — sharing information makes us all better ■gardeners. Growing fall * vegetables: Part 1 My calendar says that fall arrives on Sept. 22 but I don’t .think my garden reads calendars, because fall is already beginning. The crickets have •been chirping all day and •night for nearly three weeks, "maples leaves and dogwood .’berries are turning color and ;soil temperatures are dropping below 80 degrees. These ;are the signs to begin sowing -seeds, either directly in the ground or in flats for transplanting if you want to grow a fall vegetable garden. If you’ve never tried a fall September according to the almanack For the month of September, according to the Hagerstown Tbwn and Country Almanack temperatures will be average with precipitation to be above average. Weather watch: showers and storms (1-2); fair and warm (3-5). Showers (6-7), fair and mild temperatures (8-9). Storms and mild weather (10-11) with tropical storms possible (12-13). Storms and warm temperatures follow (14-18), fair and mild (1923). Rain and much cooler (2425) fair and warm temperatures ending the month (26-30). Full Moon: September’s occurs early on the 2nd and is called the Harvest Moon. Autumnal Equinox will occur on Sept. 21. Holidays: Labor Day is the first Monday, Sept. 3 and Citizenship Day on Monday, Sept. 17. garden before, I’d encourage you. We live in a great climate for it, unless we have a season of drought or extended hot weather. This year, conditions look very promising for fall cultivation. Carrots, beets, radishes, mustard greens, collards, kale, spinach, broccoli and lettuces are some of the vegetables which prefer cooler weather for growing. If you make some room in your garden now, clearing and preparing the soil, you’ll be ready to take advantage of waning moon time, the first two weeks in September, to plant root crops. Do any of you still plant by the moon? It really does work, and I know many old-timers still swear by it. The Stella Natura calendar that I use is very detailed, and gives the information for the best days to sow leaf, root, flower and fruit and which days to avoid. Sept. 5, 9, 10 and 11 are indicated as the best “root days”. Root crops need 10”-12” of un-compacted, loamy soil to do their best. Building sand and compost are great amendments to lighten up heavy soils and discourage funky gnarled or forked roots. Carrots and beets both appreciate an addition of greensand to the soil. A very light sprinkling of borax on top of the soil where beets are to grow will produce sweeter, more tender beets. If you enjoy Italian bulb fennel, this too can be direct — seeded now for mature bulbs before heavy frosts arrive. I like to start leeks indoors for over-wintering sometime in early August. ‘Blue Solaise’ is a hardy old variety that can be pulled up in March or April, unless you want baby leeks in November or December. Leeks should be transplanted from pots when they are the diameter of a pencil. To get a good length of blanched, or white leek, place them in 8”-10” trenches or deep holes made with a dibber. Then, add soil gradually around the base as the leeks grow, until the soil is level with the rest of the garden. Radishes are easy to grow from seed and like fertile, well-composted soil. Alfalfa meal is a great fertilizer for them, or sow radishes in an area previously cover-cropped with clover or another leguminous green manure. Leaf mold added to the top layer of soil is another good addition, but if your soil ph is acid (below 6.0), add a bit of lime. Spring radish varieties can also be planted for fall. If you sow at 2-3 week intervals, you could get a couple of harvests. Winter radishes take twice as long to mature, but, unlike their ^ spring cousins, can remain in frozen ground without peril. Leeks, carrots and beets can be protected from frosts with a good 6” layer of straw, or a heavy-duty row cover. Carrots taste best after the ground has frozen. I’ve pulled up sweet winter carrots outdoors as late as February and they are delicious. Beets are a little less hardy and should be pulled up before the ground has frozen consistently for over a week. In the next column, I’ll discuss lettuces, mustard greens and all the brassicas (kale, collards, etc.). So think about where to put them and get your seeds ready!
